[0049] See also Figures 1 to 3 , the utility model relates to a bead counting device, which includes:

[0050] A machine bottom 1 has a base 11, in which a driver 12 is fixed. The driver 12 uses a motor and has a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft of the driver 12 is fixed with a driving block 13 with a herringbone cross section.

[0051] A rotating ball stop assembly 2 has a support plate 21 fixed on the base 11, and the support plate 21 is penetrated by a plurality of plate holes 211, wherein one of the plate holes 211 is used for the rotation shaft of the driver 12 and the driving block 13 to pass through. A fixing block 22 is fixed on the support plate 21, and a connecting block 23 is fixed on the fixing block 22. The connecting block 23 protrudes to form a positioning column 231, and the connecting block 23 is assembled with a stop block 24 in a single-point locking manner. There is a predetermined interval between the stop block 24 and the support plate 21. The stop block 24 is penetrated by a plurality of positioning holes 241. The positioning column 231 can be inserted into any The positioning hole 241 allows the stopper 24 to be positioned at different positions. The rotating bead stopper assembly 2 also has a turntable 25, one side of which protrudes to form a protrusion 251, and the other side of the turntable 25 is recessed with a driving groove 252 with a herringbone-shaped cross-section. The edge of the turntable 25 is evenly recessed with multiple bead receiving grooves 253. The turntable 25 is sleeved on the rotating shaft of the driver 12, and the driving block 13 is embedded in the driving groove 252. The turntable 25 is located between the support plate 21 and the stopper 24, so that each of the bead receiving grooves 253 can circulate under the stopper 24 when rotating.

[0052] A bead counting assembly 3 includes an upper cover 31 fixed to the carrier plate 21. The upper cover 31 is penetrated by a fixing hole 311 and a line hole 312. A bead outlet groove 313 connected to the fixing hole 311 is recessed on the back of the upper cover 31. The turntable 25 is located in the fixing hole 311. The block 24 is located in the bead outlet groove 313 and extends into the fixing hole 311 with a predetermined length. One of the plate holes 211 corresponds to the bead outlet groove 313. A counting module 32 is fixed to the front of the upper cover 31. The counting module 32 is connected to a sensor 33 via an electric wire. The sensor 33 passes through the line hole 312 and one of the plate holes 211 and is then fixed to the plate hole 211 corresponding to the bead outlet groove 313.

[0053] See also Figures 1 to 4 During use, the power is first turned on to allow the driver 12 to rotate the turntable 25. Then, game beads are poured into the fixing holes 311 of the upper cover 31. The game beads will then fall into each bead receiving slot 253. When the bead receiving slot 253 containing the game beads rotates and passes under the stopper 24, the game beads in the slot are stopped by the stopper 24 and roll out of the bead outlet slot 313 along the edge of the fixed block 22. When each game bead passes through the bead outlet slot 313, it passes by the sensor 33. The sensor 33 generates a signal and sends a signal to the counting module 32, so that the counting module 32 can accumulate the total number of game beads.

[0054] The bead counting device of the present invention can be used to count game beads of different sizes. The method is to disassemble the block 24 before counting so that the positioning posts 231 are inserted into the positioning holes 241 at different positions, and the block 24 is also positioned at different positions. After adjusting the positioning, game beads of different sizes can pass through the sensor 33 after being blocked. Figure 4 The stopper 24 is positioned farther from the sensor 33. This allows the large beads to pass through the sensor 33. Figure 5 , Figure 5 It shows that it is positioned closer to the sensor 33, so that the small beads can still pass through the sensor 33 after being blocked, thereby ensuring that game beads of different sizes can be counted.

[0055] In the embodiment herein, the protrusion 251 is configured to be gradually expanded toward the turntable 25, so that the periphery of the protrusion 251 has a predetermined slope, thereby allowing the game balls to roll more easily toward the ball receiving groove 253. Figure 2 As shown, the bead receiving groove 253 can be configured to have a U-shaped edge section, and the bead receiving groove 253 is asymmetrical, but is inclined inwardly and outwardly on both sides, and as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the rotation of the turntable 25 is such that the side of the bead receiving groove 253 that is tilted outward passes under the block 24 earlier than the side that is tilted inward, thereby making it easier for the bead receiving groove 253 to carry the game beads for rotation, and also making it easier for the game beads to escape from the bead receiving groove 253 after contacting the block 24. In addition, the driving block 13 and the driving groove 252 are engaged in order to drive the turntable 25 to rotate, so the cross-sections of the two can be set as non-circular and not limited to the herringbone shape, or the driving block 13 and the driving groove 252 are not required, as long as the cross-sections of the rotating shaft of the driver 12 and the sleeve hole of the turntable 25 are set as corresponding non-circular shapes, the driving effect can be achieved after the turntable 25 is put on the rotating shaft. In addition, the reason for only putting the turntable 25 on the driver 12 without fixing it by locking or other means is to facilitate disassembly and to prevent the turntable 25 from escaping from the rotating shaft when rotating. Please refer to Figure 6 The fastening hole 311 can be configured as a stepped hole so that the outer edge of the turntable 25 can extend between the upper cover 31 and the carrier plate 21, thereby utilizing the upper cover 31 to block the turntable 25 and prevent it from escaping from the rotating shaft. In other embodiments, the upper cover 31 can also be fixed with a funnel connected to the fastening hole 311 to facilitate the user to pour the game beads into the fastening hole 311.

[0056] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention. In other words, all equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application should still fall within the scope of this invention patent.
