[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0023] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4As shown, this embodiment of a vision scanning counting machine capable of automatic stacking includes a housing 1. A flange outer pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the housing 1. A set of first supports 3 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the housing 1. A set of inclined support plates 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the housing 1. A transmission device 5 is provided on the outer surface of the set of inclined support plates 4. The transmission device 5 includes a motor 501. A transmission rod 502 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 501. A auger 503 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission rod 502. The outer wall of the auger 503 and the inner wall of the housing 1 are in contact with each other. The outer wall of the transmission rod 502 and both ends of the housing 1 are rotatably connected through it. The transmission device 5: the motor 501 provides power to drive the transmission rod 502 to rotate, thereby causing the auger 503 to rotate and pushing the material to move inside the housing 1, providing conveying power for material screening, and ensuring that the material can pass through each screening hole 12 in sequence.

[0024] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 As shown, the outer wall of the outer shell 1 has multiple sets of screening holes 12 of different sizes. Each screening hole 12 is in cooperation with the transmission device 5. Screening holes 12: are opened on the outer wall of the outer shell 1. Screening holes 12 of different sizes can screen the material conveyed by the transmission device 5 according to its size, so that the material that meets the corresponding aperture can pass through, and the material is initially separated according to size.

[0025] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 As shown, a set of fourth brackets 41 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of a set of inclined support plates 4, and a sliding plate 42 is fixedly connected to the side of each set of inclined support plates 4. The fourth bracket 41 is connected to the second bracket 2 at the top, providing a support foundation for the second bracket 2 and ensuring the stability of the second bracket 2 and the structure connected to it.

[0026] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 As shown, a fifth bracket 43 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of a set of inclined support plates 4. The top of the fifth bracket 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor 501. The fifth bracket 43 serves as a connecting structure, with one end firmly fixed to the outer surface of the inclined support plate 4 and the other end connected to the bottom of the motor 501. It provides reliable support for the motor 501, ensuring that the motor maintains a stable position during operation and preventing the motor from shifting due to vibration or other external forces. This ensures that the transmission device 5 can operate continuously and stably, allowing the auger 503 to push materials normally and maintain the orderly operation of the entire counting machine structure.

[0027] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4As shown, a set of third brackets 21 are all fixedly connected to the outer surface of the CCD camera 22. The second bracket 2: the outer wall is connected to a set of third brackets 21, which plays a role in connecting the upper and lower parts, transferring the supporting force of the fourth bracket 41 to the third bracket 21, and expanding the spatial layout of the structure above the equipment, so that the third brackets 21 can be reasonably distributed.

[0028] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 As shown, the top of the fourth bracket 41 is fixedly connected to the second bracket 2, and the outer wall of the second bracket 2 is fixedly connected to a set of third brackets 21. The third brackets 21 further fix the CCD camera 22 to ensure that the camera position is accurate and that it can accurately scan the screening holes 12.

[0029] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 As shown, each CCD camera 22 is matched with a screening hole 12. The bottom of the first bracket 3 and the inclined support plate 4 are both fixedly connected to the working base 6. The CCD camera 22 is matched with the screening hole 12 and can scan the material falling from different screening holes 12 to count the number of points, so as to realize the statistics of the quantity of materials of different sizes. The screening hole 12 not only realizes the screening of materials, but also provides specific material observation points for the CCD camera 22, so that the camera can focus on the falling materials for scanning.

[0030] Working Principle: Starting the transmission device: Motor 501 is turned on, and the motor output drives the transmission rod 502 to rotate. The transmission rod 502 then drives the auger 503, which is fixedly connected to its outer surface, to rotate. Because the outer wall of the auger 503 is in close contact with the inner wall of the outer shell 1, and the transmission rod 502 is rotatably connected to both ends of the outer shell 1, the auger 503 can rotate stably inside the outer shell 1. Material transfer: The material to be processed enters the outer shell 1 through the flange outer pipe 11. Driven by the rotating auger 503, the material moves along the spiral direction of the auger 503 inside the outer shell 1. Function of the screening holes: The outer shell 1... The outer wall of the casing has multiple sets of screening holes 12 of different sizes. As the material moves under the push of the auger 503, material particles of different sizes will fall out of the casing 1 through the screening holes 12 of the corresponding size. This is because only materials smaller than the screening holes 12 can pass through, thus achieving preliminary screening of the material according to size. Visual scanning point camera layout: A fourth bracket 41 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inclined support plate 4. The top of the fourth bracket 41 is connected to the second bracket 2. A set of third brackets 21 is fixed to the outer wall of the second bracket 2. A CCD camera 22 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the third bracket 21. At the same time, the inclined support plate 4 is also equipped with a mounting bracket 43 for the motor 501. The motor 501 is installed on the top of the 43. Scanning points: Each CCD camera 22 is correspondingly matched with a screening hole 12. When the material falls from the screening hole 12, the corresponding CCD camera scans the corresponding screening hole 12. Camera 22 performs visual scanning on the falling material. Using the images captured by the camera and relevant image recognition algorithms and software, the quantity of the material can be counted, realizing the counting function for materials of different sizes. Slide guide: Slides 42 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the inclined support plate 4. After screening and counting, the material falls from the screening holes 12 onto the slides 42. The slides 42 guide the material, allowing it to slide down to the designated position. Stacking: After sliding down the slides 42, the material accumulates in different positions to form different piles, completing the automatic stacking operation. The entire equipment works in concert through a series of steps such as material conveying, screening, visual scanning and counting, and material stacking to realize the automatic stacking visual scanning and counting function. The working base 6, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first support 3 and the inclined support plate 4, provides stable support for the entire equipment.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
