Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment technology, specifically to a visual counting and packaging integrated machine. Background Technology

[0002] When packaging existing parts, especially small parts, it is necessary to first count and repackage them according to the required quantity before packaging. Previously, counting was mostly done manually, which was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and had high labor costs. Later, a process was developed that used visual counting equipment to count the parts before packaging. However, this kind of visual counting equipment requires feeding the parts to the packaging equipment, which is a cumbersome transportation process. In addition, the counting accuracy is limited during the counting process, and if there is a deviation in the counting process, it is impossible to correct it before it is transported to the packaging equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the technical defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides a visual counting and packaging integrated machine.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a visual counting and packaging integrated machine, including a frame, on which an optical visual counting device, a visual counting feeding mechanism, a packaging feeding mechanism, and a packaging mechanism are provided. The visual counting feeding mechanism includes:

[0005] The feed hopper is located above the visual counting feed mechanism;

[0006] The conveying assembly is located below the feed hopper. The end of the conveying assembly is the material feeding position and the position for the optical vision counting device to visually count the material. The conveying assembly is divided into a first conveying assembly for conveying and counting large quantities of material and a second conveying assembly for conveying and counting small quantities of material. The first and second conveying assemblies are horizontal and arranged.

[0007] The feeding channel is located above the packaging feeding mechanism and at the end of the conveying component. It is used to receive the material after it has been conveyed by the conveying component and optically counted by the optical vision counting device.

[0008] A vibratory feeder mechanism is also provided between the feed hopper and the second conveying component to accurately feed materials onto the second conveying component.

[0009] The packaging feeding mechanism includes:

[0010] A horizontal conveying assembly, wherein the horizontal conveying assembly is disposed below the unloading channel;

[0011] The horizontal conveying component has two ends: the inlet of the packaging mechanism and the outlet for unqualified materials. The forward movement of the horizontal conveying component conveys materials to the packaging mechanism, and the reverse movement conveys materials to the outlet for unqualified materials.

[0012] The feeding gate assembly includes a gate and a drive assembly for raising and lowering the gate. There are two gates, which are respectively set on the horizontal conveying assembly. The feeding channel is located on the horizontal conveying assembly between the two gates. Segmented feeding is achieved by controlling the opening and closing of the gates.

[0013] The conveying assembly is an irregularly shaped conveyor belt structure consisting of three rollers and a conveyor belt. The discharge end of the conveying assembly has a ramp that slopes towards the material feeding channel, making it easier for materials to enter the material feeding channel.

[0014] The optical vision counting device is mounted on a frame below the vision counting feeding mechanism. A light source assembly is also provided at the top of the feeding channel. The optical lens of the optical vision counting device is aligned with the counting position at the end of the light source assembly, the optical lens, and the end of the conveying assembly. The three components, the light source assembly, and the optical lens assembly, are arranged collinearly.

[0015] The feed hopper includes an external frame, which is an inverted Y-shaped structure. Each of the two lower outlets of the inverted Y-shaped structure is equipped with a push plate. The push plate is driven by a cylinder to achieve the closing and opening of the two lower outlets.

[0016] The drive component is a cylinder.

[0017] The horizontal conveying assembly consists of two parallel conveyor belts, used to convey large quantities of materials and small quantities of materials conveyed by the first conveying assembly and the second conveying assembly, respectively.

[0018] A feeder assembly is also provided between the feed hopper and the first conveying assembly.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a visual counting and packaging integrated machine, including a frame, on which are mounted an optical visual counting device, a visual counting feeding mechanism, a packaging feeding mechanism, and a packaging mechanism. The visual counting feeding mechanism includes a feeding hopper located above the visual counting feeding mechanism; a conveying component is located below the feeding hopper, with its end being the material unloading position and the counting position where the optical visual counting device visually counts the material. The conveying component is divided into a first conveying component for conveying and counting large quantities of material and a second conveying component for conveying and counting small quantities of material. The first and second conveying components are horizontally positioned and arranged. The feeding channel is located above the packaging feeding mechanism and at the end of the conveying components. It is used to receive the material after it has been conveyed by the conveying components and optically counted by the optical vision counting device. This invention increases the accuracy of material counting by optically counting the material on the first conveying component (which conveys and counts large quantities of material) and the second conveying component (which conveys and counts small quantities of material). It also reduces the risk of errors when counting both large and small quantities of material. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] A visual counting and packaging integrated machine includes a frame 1, on which an optical visual counting device 2, a visual counting feeding mechanism, a packaging feeding mechanism, and a packaging mechanism 3 are mounted. The visual counting feeding mechanism includes: a feeding hopper 71 located above the visual counting feeding mechanism; and a conveying component located below the feeding hopper 71. The end of the conveying component is the material unloading position and the position where the optical visual counting device 2 performs visual counting of the material. The conveying component is divided into a first conveying component 72 for conveying and counting large quantities of material and a second conveying component 73 for conveying and counting small quantities of material. The horizontal conveying component 4 consists of two parallel conveyor belts, used to convey the large quantities of material conveyed by the first conveying component 72 and the small quantities of material conveyed by the second conveying component 73, respectively. The first conveying component 72 and the second conveying component 73 are horizontally aligned and positioned. A feeding channel 74 is located above the packaging feeding mechanism and at the end of the conveying components, receiving material after it has been conveyed by the conveying components and optically counted by the optical vision counting device 2. A vibratory feeder mechanism 75 is also provided between the feeding hopper 71 and the second conveying component 73 to precisely feed material onto the second conveying component 73. A feeder assembly is also provided between the feeding hopper 71 and the first conveying component 72. The first conveying component 72 receives a large quantity of material via the feeder assembly, while the second conveying component 73 receives a small quantity of material via the vibratory feeder mechanism 75.

[0028] The packaging feeding mechanism includes: a horizontal conveying assembly 4, which is located below the feeding channel 74; a non-conforming material feeding outlet 5, wherein the two ends of the horizontal conveying assembly 4 are the inlet of the packaging mechanism 3 and the non-conforming material feeding outlet 5, respectively; the horizontal conveying assembly 4 conveys materials to the packaging mechanism 3 in the forward direction and conveys materials to the non-conforming material feeding outlet 5 in the reverse direction; and a feeding gate assembly 6, which includes a gate 61 and a drive assembly 62 for raising and lowering the gate 61, wherein the drive assembly 62 is a cylinder. There are two gates 61, each located on the horizontal conveying assembly 4. The feeding channel 74 is located on the horizontal conveying assembly 4 between the two gates 61. Segmented feeding is achieved by controlling the opening and closing of the gates 61. When the material accurately counted by the optical vision counting device 2 falls onto the horizontal conveying assembly 4 through the feeding channel 74, the gate near the packaging mechanism 3 opens, and the material enters the packaging mechanism 3 for packaging. When materials with detection errors or incorrect quantities fall onto the horizontal conveyor assembly 4, the gate near the non-conforming material discharge outlet 5 opens, and the materials fall into the non-conforming material discharge outlet 5.

[0029] The conveying assembly is an irregularly shaped conveyor belt structure consisting of three rollers and a conveyor belt. The discharge end of the conveying assembly has a ramp inclined towards the material feeding channel 74, which makes it easier for materials to enter the material feeding channel 74.

[0030] The optical vision counting device 2 is mounted on the frame 1 below the vision counting feeding mechanism. The top of the feeding channel 74 is also provided with a light source assembly 21. The optical lens of the optical vision counting device 2 is aligned with the light source assembly 21. The counting position of the optical lens, the end of the conveying assembly, and the light source assembly 21 are all arranged collinearly.

[0031] The feed hopper 71 includes an outer frame 711, which is an inverted Y-shaped structure. Each of the two lower outlets of the inverted Y-shaped structure is provided with a push plate 712. The push plate 712 is driven by a cylinder to achieve the closing and opening of the two lower outlets.

[0032] During operation, materials are first fed into the hopper, then fall into the feeder assembly for large quantities and the vibratory feeder mechanism for small quantities. Large and small quantities are conveyed by the first and second conveyor components, respectively. At the end of the conveyor components, the materials are counted by an optical vision counting device. The counted materials fall onto the horizontal conveyor assembly. If the count is correct, the gate near the packaging mechanism opens, and the horizontal conveyor assembly moves forward to transport the materials to the packaging mechanism for packaging. If there is a detection error or incorrect quantity of material falling onto the horizontal conveyor assembly, it reverses direction to the non-conforming material discharge outlet. The gate near the non-conforming material discharge outlet opens, and the horizontal conveyor assembly reverses direction to transport the materials to the non-conforming material discharge outlet. The horizontal conveyor assembly and gate on the large and small quantity sides can be controlled independently.
