[0047] See also Figures 1 to 4 The utility model relates to an upright bead counting device, which comprises:

[0048] A ball rotating assembly 1 has a power device 11, which has a rotating shaft 111, and an L-shaped plate-shaped seat plate 12 is fixed to the power device 11. The seat plate 12 has a first plate portion 121 and a second plate portion 122 with a predetermined angle. The seat plate 12 is fixed to the power device 11 with the first plate portion 121, and the rotating shaft 111 passes through the first plate portion 121. The rotating shaft 111 is sleeved with a turntable 13 located on the first plate portion 121, so that the turntable 13 can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 111. The outer edge of the turntable 13 is evenly recessed with a plurality of U-shaped bead receiving grooves 131 with edge sections. The bead receiving grooves 131 are asymmetrical and are inclined outward and inward on both sides. A circumference tube 14 surrounding the turntable 13 is fixed on the first plate portion 121 of the seat plate 12, and a bead outlet hole 141 is passed through the side of the circumference tube 14.

[0049] A bead stop assembly 2 has a fixed block 21 fixed on the first plate portion 121 of the base plate 12, and a positioning column 211 is protruded from the fixed block 21. A stop block 22 is detachably assembled on the fixed block 21, and the stop block 22 is penetrated by a plurality of positioning holes 221. The positioning column 211 can be inserted into any of the positioning holes 221 to position the stop block 22 at different positions. The end of the stop block 22 extends from the bead outlet hole 141 into the surrounding cylinder 14 and is located above the turntable 13, so that each of the bead receiving slots 131 can pass through the bottom of the stop block 22 in a cyclic manner when rotating.

[0050] A counting assembly 3, having a counting module 31 and a sensor 32 electrically connected to the counting module 31, the counting module 31 is fixed to the first plate portion 121 of the base plate 12, the counting assembly 3 also has a bracket 33 and a clamping block 34, the bracket 33 is provided with a recessed groove 331 at a predetermined position, a limiting column 332 is formed in the recessed groove 331, one end of the bracket 33 is provided with a stepped slot 333, the clamping block 34 is provided with a recessed groove 333, and the fixing block 34 is provided with a recessed groove 331. A hook portion 341 with an L-shaped cross-section is formed on the end of the bracket 33. The bracket 33 is fixed to the second plate portion 122 of the base plate 12, so that the receiving groove 331 corresponds to the bead hole 141. The sensor 32 is installed in the receiving groove 331 and abuts against the limiting column 332. The clamping block 34 is fixed to the bracket 33, and the hook portion 341 is engaged with the receiving groove 333, so that the sensor 32 is clamped between the bracket 33 and the clamping block 34.

[0051] See also Figures 1 to 4When using the present invention, the power is turned on to allow the power device 11 to drive the turntable 13 to rotate, and then the game beads are poured into the surrounding cylinder 14. The game beads will fall into each bead receiving slot 131 due to the rotation of the turntable 13. Then, when the bead receiving slot 131 rotates and passes under the stopper 22, the game beads in the slot will be stopped by the stopper 22 and roll out of the bead outlet 141 along the stopper 22. The game beads leaving the bead outlet 141 will pass by the sensor 32 and generate a signal. The sensor 32 then sends a signal to the counting module 31, which can then allow the counting module 31 to count the total number of game beads.

[0052] Because the bead receiving slot 131 is tilted outward and inward on both sides, it can more easily rotate with the game beads. At the same time, it also makes it easier for the game beads to escape from the bead receiving slot 131 when they hit the stopper 22. In addition, because the turntable 13 is only mounted on the rotating shaft 111, the stopper 22 also has the function of stopping the turntable 13 to prevent it from escaping from the rotating shaft 111.

[0053] Since the stopper 22 can be positioned at different positions, the present invention can be applied to game beads of different sizes, such as Figure 3 The stopper 22 is shown to be assembled at a position far from the sensor 32. Figure 5 , Figure 5 This shows that the stopper 22 has been disassembled and reassembled closer to the sensor 32. When it is used to block smaller game beads, it can ensure that they can still pass by the sensor 32, achieving the effect of accurate counting. Please refer to Figure 6 In addition, the turntable 13 may be protruded to form a protrusion 132, and the protrusion 132 gradually expands toward the turntable 13, so that the periphery of the protrusion 132 has a predetermined slope, and the protrusion 132 can help the game beads fall into the bead receiving groove 131 more easily.

[0054] 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.
