DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Example

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the counting device of this embodiment includes a frame 1, and a sorting mechanism 2 and a counting mechanism 3 which are sequentially installed on the frame 1 along the conveying direction of the cylindrical material, and a main controller which is respectively connected to the sorting mechanism 2 and the counting mechanism 3 by signals and is used to control the operation of the two according to the counting value; the sorting mechanism 2 arranges the cylindrical material into a single-layer queue and sequentially feeds it into the counting mechanism 3, and the counting mechanism 3 counts while outputting the cylindrical material sequentially and transmits the value to the main controller. The sorting mechanism 2 and the counting mechanism 3 have the function of transporting in the same direction, and the two are sequentially installed on the frame 1 along the conveying direction. The cylindrical material enters from the input end of the sorting mechanism 2, is arranged into a single-layer queue in the sorting mechanism 2, and then sequentially enters from the output end of the sorting mechanism 2 to the input end of the counting mechanism 3; the cylindrical material is sequentially transported in the counting mechanism 3, and at the same time, the counting mechanism 3 counts the cylindrical material output from its output end and transmits the counting result to the main controller connected to its signal. The main controller is also connected to the sorting mechanism 2 signal. When the counting result reaches the threshold, the main controller controls the sorting mechanism 2 and the counting mechanism 3 to stop at the same time, thereby realizing the sorting and quantitative output of the cylindrical material.

[0026] In this embodiment, the frame 1 is composed of a front section 11 and a rear section 12, the sorting mechanism 2 is installed on the front section 11, and the counting mechanism 3 is installed on the rear section 12; by flipping the rear section 12, the height of the output end of the counting mechanism 3 changes accordingly. Generally, the sorting mechanism 2 is installed horizontally, and the counting mechanism 3 can be installed horizontally or set to an inclined state by flipping the rear section 12. By setting the frame 1 into two sections, front and rear, and the front section 11 and the rear section 12 are hingedly connected, the operator can adjust the output height of the counting mechanism 3 according to actual conditions, so as to adapt to more application scenarios.

[0027] In this embodiment, the sorting mechanism 2 includes a conveyor belt 21 installed on the frame 1, and an arranger 22 arranged above the output section of the conveyor belt 21 for arranging the stacked cylindrical materials into a single layer, and the cylindrical materials pass through the gap between the conveyor belt 21 and the arranger 22. The arranger 22 includes a body 221 arranged above the conveyor belt 21, and a support 222 installed on the frame 1 for supporting the body 221; the distance between the body 221 and the conveyor belt 21 is equal to the diameter of the cylindrical material. The cylindrical materials fed into the input end of the sorting mechanism 2 may be stacked into multiple layers. By arranging an arranger 22 above the sorting mechanism 2, and the distance between the arranger 22 and the conveyor belt 21 is equal to the diameter of the cylindrical materials, only the cylindrical materials located in the bottom layer can move to the output end through the gap between the arranger 22 and the conveyor belt 21, while other cylindrical materials stacked on the upper layer will be blocked by the arranger 22. When the cylindrical materials located in the bottom layer leave the input end of the sorting mechanism 2, other cylindrical materials stacked on the upper layer will fall to the lower layer due to loss of support, thereby realizing the arrangement of disordered cylindrical materials into a single-layer queue. Because the distance between the main body 221 and the conveyor belt 21 is equal to the diameter of the cylindrical material, when the cylindrical material enters between the main body 221 and the conveyor belt 21, the cylindrical material is subjected to friction between the main body 221 and the conveyor belt 21 at the same time. Under the action of this friction, the cylindrical material will gradually swing until its central axis is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the transmission belt 21. Therefore, the sorting mechanism 2 can not only sort the cylindrical material into a single-layer queue, but also adjust it into a uniform direction. Furthermore, the main body 221 and the support 222 are slidably installed, and the main body 221 changes the distance from the conveyor belt 21 by sliding. Since the diameter of each batch of cylindrical materials may vary, by setting the main body 221 and the support 222 in a sliding installation form, the distance between the main body 221 and the conveyor belt 21 can be adjusted according to the diameter of the cylindrical material, thereby greatly expanding the scope of application. Furthermore, the body 221 is plate-shaped or mesh-shaped and is arranged parallel to the conveyor belt 21, and has two groups of supports 222; one side of the body 221 is hinged to one group of supports 222, and the opposite side is overlapped with the other group of supports 222. When a fault occurs, the operator can flip up the side of the body 221 overlapped on the support 222 for maintenance, thereby effectively reducing obstruction.

[0028] In this embodiment, the sorting mechanism 2 further includes a "U"-shaped fence 23 disposed above the input section of the conveyor belt 21 for preventing the cylindrical material from rolling down. The fence 23 is connected to the frame 1, and its open end faces the arranger 22. Since the cylindrical material fed into the input end of the sorting mechanism 2 may be stacked in multiple layers, in order to prevent the cylindrical material from falling from the conveyor belt 21, a fence 23 is provided. The fence 23 is "U"-shaped and can block the cylindrical material from three directions, thereby preventing it from falling.

[0029] In this embodiment, the counting mechanism 3 includes a conveyor belt 2 31 installed on the frame 1, and the belt of the conveyor belt 2 31 is equidistantly protruded outward with a plurality of tooth plates 311, and the spacing between adjacent tooth plates 311 is equal to the diameter of the cylindrical material. The counting mechanism 3 is inclined and gradually rises along the conveying direction of the cylindrical material; the counting device also includes a transition plate 4 arranged between the sorting mechanism 2 and the counting mechanism 3, and the transition plate 4 is formed with a notch 41 for the tooth plates 311 to pass through on the side close to the conveyor belt 2 31; the cylindrical materials arranged on the transition plate 4 are pushed onto the conveyor belt 2 31 in sequence by the tooth plates 311. The counting mechanism 3 includes a sensor 1 32 installed on the frame 1 for measuring the output quantity of the cylindrical material, and the sensor 1 32 is connected to the main controller signal. By setting the tooth plates 311 with a spacing equal to the diameter of the cylindrical material, only one cylindrical material can be placed between every two tooth plates 311, and at the same time, by setting the tooth plates 311, it is possible to avoid squeezing between adjacent cylindrical materials when the counting mechanism 3 is in an inclined state. When counting, the sensor 1 32 only needs to count the number of tooth plates 311 passing through its detection direction to obtain the quantity information of the cylindrical material. Furthermore, the counting mechanism 3 also includes a sensor 2 5 arranged on the side of the transition plate 4 for detecting the accumulation of materials on the transition plate 4, and a sensor 3 6 arranged above the conveyor belt 2 31 for obtaining the number of materials to be counted.

[0030] It should be noted that conveyor belt 1 21, conveyor belt 2 31, sensor 1 32 and main controller are all commercially available products, and their structures, functions and connection forms are all existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.
