Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automatic counting of plastic bags, in particular to an automatic counting device for plastic bags. Background Art
[0002] Plastic bag counters are usually used in supermarket operations to record the number of plastic bags used. The use of counters can help supermarkets accurately record the consumption of plastic bags, effectively control costs, promote environmental protection, and reduce plastic bag waste. The weighing and counting method is a common method of calculating the amount of plastic bags used. The specific method is to first weigh a certain number of plastic bags to get the total weight, and then calculate the average weight of each plastic bag. Finally, the total weight is divided by the average weight of a single plastic bag to get the number of plastic bags. When calculating the usage, the reduced weight is divided by the average weight of a single plastic bag to get the number of plastic bags used.
[0003] However, this technical method requires pre-calculating the average weight of a single plastic bag when counting plastic bags of different weights, which is rather troublesome and requires a high degree of precision for the weighing equipment. To this end, we propose an automatic plastic bag counting device. Utility Model Content
