[0026] Specifically, the mounting frame 1 fixes the motor 2, enabling the motor 2 to operate stably. By fixedly connecting the motor 2 to the rotating shaft of the conveyor belt 3, the motor 2 can drive the rotating shaft of the conveyor belt 3 to rotate, and then drive the conveyor belt 3 to convey. The mounting frame 1 limits the position of the mounting seat 13, preventing the position of the mounting seat 13 from shifting. Through the vision counter 14 on the mounting seat 13, the easy-open lids on the conveyor belt 3 can be counted.

[0027] Refer to Figures 1-3 , a turntable 4 is rotatably connected to the front side of the mounting frame 1, the rotating shaft of the conveyor belt 3 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the turntable 4, a convex block 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the turntable 4, a swing wheel 6 is abutted against the outside of the convex block 5, a limiting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the swing wheel 6, and the inside of the mounting frame 1 is rotatably connected to the outside of the limiting rod 7. A rack plate 8 is slidably connected to the front side of the mounting frame 1, and the outside of the swing wheel 6 is meshed with the outside of the rack plate 8. Gears 9 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the front end of the mounting frame 1, and the outside of the rack plate 8 is meshed with the outside of the gears 9. Bidirectional threaded rods 10 are fixedly connected to the rear sides of the gears 9, and the inside of the mounting frame 1 is rotatably connected to the outside of the bidirectional threaded rods 10. Threaded blocks 11 are threadedly connected to the front and rear sides of the outside of the bidirectional threaded rods 10, and the inside of the mounting frame 1 is slidably connected to the outside of the threaded blocks 11.

[0028] Specifically, the mounting frame 1 limits the position of the turntable 4, enabling the turntable 4 to rotate stably. By fixedly connecting the rotating shaft of the conveyor belt 3 to the turntable 4, the rotating shaft of the conveyor belt 3 can drive the turntable 4 to rotate. The turntable 4 fixes the convex block 5, enabling the convex block 5 to stably drive the swing wheel 6 to swing. The mounting frame 1 limits the position of the limiting rod 7, enabling the limiting rod 7 to rotate stably. Through the meshing connection between the swing wheel 6 and the rack plate 8, the swing wheel 6 can drive the rack plate 8 to move.

Through the meshing connection between the rack plate 8 and the gears 9, the gears 9 can rotate stably. The mounting frame 1 limits the positions of the gears 9 and the bidirectional threaded rods 10, enabling the gears 9 and the bidirectional threaded rods 10 to rotate stably. The mounting frame 1 limits the position of the threaded blocks 11, preventing the threaded blocks 11 from shifting during movement.

[0029] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a snap component 15 is provided inside the threaded block 11. The snap component 15 fixes the mounting seat 13. The snap component 15 includes two mounting grooves 1501 which are respectively opened on the left and right sides inside the mounting frame 1. A spring 1502 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 1501. On the adjacent sides of the left and right springs 1502, a limiting block 1503 is fixedly connected. The inside of the mounting groove 1501 is slidably connected to the outside of the limiting block 1503. On the adjacent sides of the left and right limiting blocks 1503, a clamping block 1504 is fixedly connected.

The inside of the mounting frame 1 is slidably connected to the outside of the pulling rope 1506. On the adjacent sides of the left and right pulling ropes 1506, a rotating rod 1507 is fixedly connected. The inside of the mounting frame 1 is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating rod 1507.

[0030] Specifically, the mounting groove 1501 and the limiting block 1503 fix the spring 1502, enabling the spring 1502 to stably undergo elastic deformation. The mounting groove 1501 limits the limiting block 1503 and the clamping block 1504, preventing the limiting block 1503 and the clamping block 1504 from shifting when moving. Through the engagement of the clamping block 1504 with the card slot 1505, the position of the mounting seat 13 is fixed. The mounting frame 1 limits the pulling rope 1506, preventing the pulling rope 1506 from shifting when moving. The mounting frame 1 limits the rotating rod 1507, enabling the rotating rod 1507 to rotate stably.

[0031] Working principle: When it is necessary to place the easy-open lids on the conveyor belt 3 at the central position, by starting the motor 2 to operate, the rotating shaft of the conveyor belt 3 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the turntable 4 to rotate, and then driving the upper side of the swing wheel 6 to rotate with it, thereby driving the lower side of the swing wheel 6 to move reciprocally, and then driving the rack plate 8 to move reciprocally with it, thereby driving the gear 9 to rotate reciprocally with it, and then driving the bidirectional threaded rod 10 to rotate reciprocally with it, thereby driving the threaded blocks 11 on the front and rear sides to move back and forth reciprocally, and then driving the resisting frame 12 to push the easy-open lids reciprocally, so that the easy-open lids on the conveyor belt 3 can be placed at the central position;

[0032] In addition, when maintenance of the vision counter 14 is required, the rotation rod 1507 is rotated to drive the two pulling ropes 1506 to move towards the adjacent side, thereby driving the two limiting blocks 1503 to move away from each other, further squeezing the spring 1502 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby driving the latch 1504 to move with it, and further causing the latch 1504 to disengage from the card slot 1505, so that the vision counter 14 can be conveniently taken out for maintenance. After the maintenance is completed, the mounting seat 13 of the vision counter 14 is placed inside the mounting frame 1, so that the spring 1502 undergoes a reset movement, thereby driving the two limiting blocks 1503 to move towards the adjacent side, thereby driving the latch 1504 to move with it into the card slot 1505, and further causing the latch 1504 to engage with the card slot 1505, so that the position of the mounting seat 13 is fixed, and further completing the maintenance of the vision counter 14.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
