DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] See attached Figure 1 As shown, a probe counting and packaging device in this embodiment includes a workbench 1, on which a probe packaging mechanism 4 and a vibration mechanism 2 are provided. During the vibration process, the vibration mechanism 2 can transport the probes to the packaging mechanism 4 in sequence. During the transportation process, the counting mechanism 3 can count the probes.

[0026] In some embodiments, the vibration mechanism 2 includes a vibration disk 22 and a speed regulator 21. The speed regulator 21 can adjust the vibration frequency of the vibration disk 22. The vibration disk 22 is arranged on the workbench 1. A guide groove 221 is provided on the vibration disk. One end of the guide groove 221 is located in the vibration disk 22, and the other end extends toward the packaging mechanism 4. It is located directly above the packaging mechanism 4. When the probe vibrates on the vibration disk 22, it will vibrate into the guide groove 221 and slide along the guide groove 221 into the packaging mechanism 4. The probe is packaged by the packaging mechanism 4.

[0027] In some embodiments, the guide groove 221 is located at one end of the vibration plate 22 at a higher vertical height than the other end, ensuring that the probe can slide along the guide groove 221 under the action of gravity. Preferably, the guide groove 221 is vertically arranged, that is, the guide groove 221 is located at one end of the vibration plate 22 directly above the other end thereof.

[0028] In some embodiments, a counting mechanism 3 is further included, comprising a counter 32 and a support member 31. One end of the support member 31 is fixedly connected to the workbench 1, and the other end is connected to the counter 32. The counter 32 is fixedly disposed at one end of the guide groove 221 near the dispensing mechanism 4, that is, the counter 32 is located between the guide groove 221 and the dispensing mechanism 4. As the probes slide from the guide groove 221 to the dispensing mechanism 4, the counter 32 counts the number of probes.

[0029] In some embodiments, a material receiver 33 is provided directly below the counter 32 and is connected to the workbench 1 via the support 31. The material receiver 33 is provided with a material receiving slot, which includes a material receiving inlet 331 provided near the counter 32 and a material receiving outlet 332 provided near the sub-packaging mechanism 4. Both the material receiving inlet 331 and the material receiving outlet 332 are circular, and the diameter of the material receiving inlet 331 is larger than that of the material receiving outlet 332, so as to facilitate the material receiver 33 to receive the probe and transport the probe to the sub-packaging mechanism 4.

[0030] In some embodiments, the packaging mechanism 4 includes a driving member 41, which is fixedly connected to the workbench 1. The driving shaft of the driving member 41 is connected to the center of the rotating disk 42, and the driving member 41 can drive the rotating disk 42 to rotate. A plurality of fixing frames 43 are provided on the upper surface of the rotating disk 42, and the plurality of fixing frames 43 are circumferentially distributed with the center of the rotating disk 42 as the center of the circle. During the rotation of the rotating disk 42, it can be ensured that there is a fixing frame 43 located directly below the counting mechanism 3. The fixing frame 43 fixes the packaging bottle 44 for packaging the probe. The packaging bottle 44 is located directly below the counter 32 and can receive the probe transmitted from the guide groove 221 of the vibrating disk 22. When the number of probes in a packaging bottle 44 reaches a predetermined number, the driving member 41 drives the rotating disk 42 to rotate and replaces it with another empty packaging bottle 44 to receive the probe; when the packaging of the packaging bottle is completed, the probe counting and packaging device automatically stops.

[0031] In some embodiments, a control system is further included, comprising a console 5 , which is provided with control switches for instructing the counting device. The control switches include a main switch, a single-action switch, a start switch, a pause switch, and an emergency stop switch. A counter display is provided on the console 5 to indicate the specific number of probes counted by the counting mechanism 3 .

[0032] In some embodiments, a protective cover 6 is further included, which is disposed above the workbench 1 and forms a working chamber with the workbench 1. The vibrating mechanism 2, the counting mechanism 3, and the sub-packaging mechanism 4 are disposed in the working chamber. The protective cover 6 protects the vibrating mechanism 2, the counting mechanism 3, and the sub-packaging mechanism 4.

[0033] In some embodiments, the protective cover 6 includes a side panel 61 arranged on the workbench 1 and a top panel 62 located directly above the workbench 1. The top panel 62 and the side panel 61 are hinged, and the top panel 62 can rotate around the hinge point to facilitate the addition of a probe into the vibration disk 22.

[0034] Working process: Pour probes with a diameter of 0.15-0.78mm into the vibrating plate 22 and secure empty packaging bottles 44 with the fixing brackets 43. Set the packaging quantity (1-1000 PCS), check the equipment, and activate the single-action button. The probes slide from the vibrating plate 22 through the guide grooves 221 and the counting mechanism 3 into the packaging bottles 44. The counting mechanism 3 automatically counts the number of probes. When the number reaches a preset value, the driving member 41 drives the rotating plate 42 to rotate, and another packaging bottle 44 is replaced to repackage the probes.
