Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a pull-out door structure for a visual counting machine, belonging to the field of automatic counting and packaging technology. Background Technology
[0002] Subcontracting of counting operations is involved in many industries, such as: pharmaceutical counting subcontracting, agricultural counting subcontracting, food counting subcontracting, daily necessities counting subcontracting, and counting subcontracting of mechanical parts or workpieces.
[0003] With the rapid development of automation and intelligent technologies, counting and subcontracting operations have begun to move towards fully automated operation. For example, the invention patent CN202111498017.0 applied for by the applicant in 2021 discloses a control method for achieving accurate counting and subcontracting with dual feeding, including cycle A and cycle B. Cycle A includes: the control drive module opens the feeding mechanism to start feeding, and the material enters the A bin by the feeding mechanism. At the same time, the feeding metering module set in the A bin counts synchronously. The material counted by the feeding metering module enters the bottom of the A bin and is blocked by the A door set at the bottom of the A bin until the feeding mechanism finishes one cycle of feeding, and the feeding metering module completes one cycle of counting synchronously. Cycle B includes: the control drive module opens the replenishing mechanism to start replenishing, and the material enters the BTOP bin by the replenishing mechanism. At the same time, the replenishing metering module set in the BTOP bin counts synchronously. The material counted by the replenishing metering module enters the bottom of the BTOP bin. The BTOP bin door set at the bottom of the BTOP bin is in a normally open state, and the material falls into the B bin through the BTOP bin door.
[0004] The BTOP door mainly consists of a BTOP door panel, a linear drive mechanism, and a counting channel. The counting channel has inlets and outlets for the BTOP door panel to enter and exit. Driven by the linear drive mechanism, the BTOP door panel moves linearly along the inlets and outlets, thus opening and closing the BTOP door through a sliding mechanism. However, currently, the BTOP door panels used in BTOP doors have a flat panel structure. During movement, there is a certain gap between the BTOP door panel and the inlet / outlet. When the material is a thin-edged, flat material, the BTOP door panel can easily pull the material into the gap during movement, causing the material to get stuck and resulting in inaccurate counting.

[0026] Example
[0027] Please combine Figures 1 to 6 As shown: This embodiment provides a sliding door structure for a visual counting machine, including a sliding door panel 1 and a vertically arranged counting channel 2. The rear side of the counting channel 2 is provided with an inlet and outlet 21 for the sliding door panel 1 to enter and exit. The sliding door panel 1 is connected to a linear telescopic drive mechanism 3 that enables it to move back and forth linearly. One end of the sliding door panel 1 that enters and exits the counting channel 2 is a sliding end 11. The upper surface 111 of the sliding end 11 and the inner top surface 211 of the inlet and outlet 21 of the counting channel 2 are both wavy concave and convex groove surfaces.
[0028] In this embodiment, the linear telescopic drive mechanism 3 can be an electric push rod mechanism, a cylinder mechanism, or a hydraulic cylinder mechanism, for example, it can be a commercially available linear telescopic cylinder.
[0029] In this embodiment, combined with Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the counting channel 2 is composed of a vertically arranged front channel plate 22, a rear channel plate 23, a left channel plate 24, and a right channel plate 25. The rear channel plate 23 includes an upper rear channel plate 231 and a lower rear channel plate 232 located below the upper rear channel plate 231. The upper rear channel plate 231, lower rear channel plate 232, left channel plate 24, and right channel plate 25 form an inlet / outlet 21 for the sliding door panel 1 to enter and exit. The bottom surface of the upper rear channel plate 231 is a wavy, textured surface. The bottom surface of the upper rear channel plate 231 is equivalent to the inner top surface 211 of the inlet / outlet 21; therefore, the bottom surface of the upper rear channel plate 231 is also a wavy, textured surface.
[0030] Furthermore, the front panel 22 of the channel is a transparent panel. The front panel 22 is made of a transparent material, making it a transparent panel. The front panel 22 serves as the front viewing window of the counting channel 2, allowing staff to easily observe the material conditions within the counting channel 2 from the front.
[0031] In this embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a support rib 4 is connected to the upper rear side of the counting channel 2, and a fixing plate 5 is connected to the rear end of the support rib 4. The linear telescopic drive mechanism 3 is mounted on the fixing plate 5, and the output end of the linear telescopic drive mechanism 3 is connected to the drawer door panel 1. The support rib 4 and the fixing plate 5 provide fixed support and installation for the linear telescopic drive mechanism 3, enhancing the overall stability of the drawer door structure. Specifically, the support rib 4 is triangular in shape, providing good stability and support.
[0032] Furthermore, the output end of the linear telescopic drive mechanism 3 is connected to an adapter plate 6. The front end of the sliding door panel 1 is a sliding end 11, and the rear end of the sliding door panel 1 is a connecting end 12. The sliding end 11 of the sliding door panel 1 can enter and exit the inlet and outlet 21 of the counting channel 2. The connecting end 12 of the sliding door panel 1 is connected to the adapter plate 6, which enhances the connection stability between the linear telescopic drive mechanism 3 and the sliding door panel 1. The sliding end 11 of the sliding door panel 1 is in clearance fit with the inlet and outlet 21 of the counting channel 2, and enters and exits the inlet and outlet 21 of the counting channel 2 under the drive of the linear telescopic drive mechanism 3.
[0033] Specifically, the adapter plate 6 is L-shaped. The L-shaped adapter plate 6 includes a horizontal part and a vertical part (not marked in the figure). During installation, the connecting end 12 of the sliding door panel 1 is connected to the horizontal part of the adapter plate 6 (specifically, the top of the connecting end 12 of the sliding door panel 1 is connected to the bottom of the horizontal part of the adapter plate 6), and the output end of the linear telescopic drive mechanism 3 is connected to the vertical part of the adapter plate 6. In this way, the output end of the linear telescopic drive mechanism 3 can be connected to the sliding door panel 1 through the adapter plate 6.
[0034] The method of using the pull-out door structure for the visual counting machine described in this utility model is as follows:
[0035] See Figure 7 As shown, the pull-out door structure is installed as a whole into the storage bin of the visual counting machine (the storage bin can be the B bin in patent CN202111498017.0, or the storage bin of other counting machines, that is: the pull-out door structure of this utility model can be used as the BTOP bin door in patent CN202111498017.0, or as the bin door mechanism of other counting machines) as the inlet or outlet of the storage bin, so that the pull-out door structure can be used in the visual counting machine;
[0036] During operation, the linear telescopic drive mechanism 3 drives the sliding door plate 1 to move back and forth linearly, causing the sliding end 11 of the sliding door plate 1 to enter and exit the inlet and outlet 21 of the counting channel 2. The sliding end 11 is equivalent to the door between the counting channel 2 and the storage bin. When the sliding end 11 enters the counting channel 2 from the inlet and outlet 21, the door closes, and the passage between the counting channel 2 and the storage bin is closed. At this time, material cannot fall into the storage bin below through the counting channel 2. When the sliding end 11 leaves the counting channel 2 from the inlet and outlet 21, ... When the silo door is opened, the channel between the counting channel 2 and the storage silo is opened, and the material can fall into the storage silo below through the counting channel 2. Since the upper surface 111 of the insertion end 11 and the inner top surface 211 of the inlet and outlet 21 of the counting channel 2 are both wavy concave and convex groove surfaces, the door gap of the silo door is also wavy. Flat materials will be blocked and pushed down by the concave and convex grooves on the insertion door plate 1 during the movement of the insertion door plate 1, and will not be stuck in the door gap, thereby effectively reducing the probability of material jamming and improving the counting accuracy of the counting machine.
[0037] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
