[0034] A blocking module 4 is provided on one side of the feeding module 3. The blocking module 4 includes a baffle 41 adapted to the template 31. A threaded seat 42 and a threaded rod 43 adapted to each other are provided at the bottom of the baffle 41. The threaded seat 42 is connected to the baffle 41.

A limiting track 402 is installed on the top of the positioning plate 401. A raised slide rail is provided on one side of the limiting track 402. A limiting seat 403 is slidably provided on the slide rail. The limiting seat 403 cooperates with the slide rail and is connected to the threaded seat 42, thereby generating a force on the threaded seat 42. The other side of the limiting track 402 is connected to an extension block 404, which is an L-shaped structure. One side of the extension block 404 is connected to the guide plate 2 to enhance stability. The bottom of the positioning plate 401 is rotatably connected to two transmission wheels 45. A transmission belt 46 is sleeved between the outer peripheries of the two transmission wheels 45. The bottom end of the threaded rod 43 passes through the positioning plate 401 and is fixed to the center of one of the transmission wheels 45. Therefore, when the motor 44 rotates, it can drive the transmission wheel 45 to rotate, cooperate with the transmission, and rotate the threaded rod 43, so that the threaded seat 42 is lifted and lowered, driving the baffle 41 to lift and lower;

[0035] A feeding bin 5 is further provided on the side of the feeding module 3 away from the side blocking module 4. A side connecting plate 11 is connected between the side of the feeding bin 5 and the main frame 1. A supporting block 12 is clamped on the side connecting plate 11. An adjusting structure 6 is installed on the feeding bin 5. The adjusting structure 6 includes an adjusting rail 61, an adjusting seat 62, an adjusting plate 63 and a positioning pin 64. The adjusting rail 61 is fixed to one side of the feeding bin 5, and the adjusting seat 62 is slidably set on the adjusting rail 61. The adjusting seat 62 is connected to the adjusting plate 63. The positioning pin 64 is provided on the adjusting plate 63 and one end contacts the adjusting rail 61. The positioning pin 64 can be fixed by end pressure or by threaded connection by opening a plurality of screw holes on the adjusting rail 61;

[0036] A feeding bin 7 is provided on one edge of the feed bin 5. The feeding bin 7 is composed of a long rectangular frame with openings on both sides and the top. The bottom of the feeding bin 7 is a V-shaped structure to facilitate the rolling and limiting of the steel ball material. A drainage groove is provided on the end position of the feeding bin 7. The function of the drainage groove is mainly to drain part of the steel ball material into the feeding bin 7. A feeding module 8 that is alternately started and stopped is provided inside the feeding bin 7. The feeding module 8 includes a feeding baffle 81 composed of multiple blocks and a feeding cylinder 82. The feeding baffle 81 is a detachable structure, which can be adjusted for steel ball materials of different sizes. The driving end of the feeding cylinder 82 is connected to the feeding baffle 81. The alternating start and stop of the two feeding baffles 81 of the feeding module 8 plays a role in accurate feeding.

[0037] Since the feeding bin 7 and the feeding module 3 are both connected and adapted to the guide plate 2, the feeding bin 7 and the feeding module 3 are also inclined. A discharge module 9 is installed at one side of the lower end of the feeding bin 7 and the feeding module 3. The inlet of the discharge module 9 is connected to a discharge hopper 10. The discharge hopper 10 is fixed and supported by a first connecting plate 901. One end of the discharge hopper 10 is flared and the flared end is fixed to the guide plate 2 for guiding the steel ball material to flow to the discharge area of the contracted end. The discharge module 9 includes a receiving part 91, a discharge part 92 and a discharge part 93.

[0038] The receiving member 91 is composed of a guide rectangular tube 911, a receiving hopper 912 and a guide cylinder 913. The guide cylinder 913 is fixed to the guide rectangular tube 911. When the guide cylinder 913 is running, the guide rectangular tube 911 can be lowered to close the receiving hopper 912 to prevent the steel ball material from popping out and realize centralized collection. The receiving hopper 912 can also be replaced with other packaging tools according to the situation. The discharge member 92 includes a fixed baffle 921, a discharge plate 922 and a discharge cylinder 923. The discharge cylinder 923 is connected to the discharge plate 922. The discharge member 93 includes a discharge pipe 931, a discharge plate 932 and a discharge cylinder 933. The discharge cylinder 933 is connected to the discharge pipe 931. A second connecting plate 902 is provided between the discharge member 92 and the discharge member 93. Both ends of the second connecting plate 902 are fixed to the main frame 1.

[0039] It should be noted that, in order to prevent the steel balls from rolling out directly along the slope, the discharge area of the discharge hopper 10 is a concave slope structure with the straight line between the two diagonals as the center, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 Therefore, when the wrong number of particles are discharged, the discharge cylinder 933 is opened, the machine discharges the material once, and then the corresponding quantity is replenished through the feeding module 8, thereby achieving the effect of accurate packaging.

[0040] In order to achieve overall convenient operation, an industrial computer is also provided on one side of the main frame 1, and the industrial computer can control the above-mentioned equipment.

[0041] Working principle: This embodiment provides a steel ball visual counting device. When in use, according to the steel ball material, the adjustment plate 63 is moved to a suitable position, the adjustment seat 62 slides on the adjustment track 61, and then the position is fixed using the positioning pin 604. The steel ball material is placed inside the feed bin 5, and the steel ball material flows out to the guide plate 2 through the gap at the bottom of the adjustment plate 62. Then, through the template 31 and the ball groove 32, the steel ball material can be neatly sorted. At the same time, a part of the material will flow through the drainage groove to the inside of the feeding bin 7;

[0042] The motor 44 is controlled by the industrial computer to drive the transmission wheel 45 to rotate, and the threaded rod 43 is rotated to make the threaded seat 42 rise and fall, driving the baffle 41 to fall. At this time, the steel ball material continues to fall to the discharge area of the discharge hopper 10;

[0043] At this time, if there are too many pellets, the discharge cylinder 933 is controlled by the industrial computer to operate, the discharge plate 932 is opened, the machine discharges the material once, and the excess steel ball material is discharged through the discharge pipe 931. When the number of pellets is too small, the feeding cylinder 82 is controlled by the industrial computer to operate, and the two feeding baffles 81 are alternately started and stopped to increase the corresponding amount of steel ball material, thereby achieving accurate feeding. Finally, the material is discharged through the guide torque tube 911 and the receiving hopper 912 to continue the next process.

[0044] The embodiments disclosed in the present invention are preferred embodiments, but are not limited to them. Ordinary technicians in this field can easily understand the spirit of the present invention based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and changes. As long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention, they are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
