Manual feeding causes less wear on the surface of the small spherical product, improves the yield of the product, and the lifting process of the storage hopper 1 can be realized by using a lifting structure composed of a motor, a chain wheel and a chain.
[0029] As shown in Figures 2-5 The counting device 2 includes a feeding channel 21, a screening assembly 22 arranged in the feeding channel 21, a feeding gate assembly 23 distributed on both sides of the screening assembly 22, a plurality of baffle plates 24 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the feeding channel 21, a camera counting module 25 and a cutting gate 26 located at the discharge side of the feeding channel 21, the discharge outlet of the feeding channel 21 is located above the conveying device 3, and the cutting gate 26 is located at the discharge outlet.
[0030] In the above scheme, the inclination of the feeding channel 21 is 8°, which ensures that the material can freely roll down, and the arrangement of the baffle plates 24 ensures that the material uniformly passes through the feeding channel 21. When the material passes through the screening assembly 22, all sizes above and below the target size in a batch of material are screened out, only the material of the target size is counted, and the problem of mixing materials is avoided. The feeding gate assembly 23 distributed on both sides of the screening assembly 22 controls the size of the feeding channel 21, the size of the channel is flexibly controlled through the feedback of the camera counting module 25, the precise counting of the material is realized, the material entering the conveying device 3 is accurate, the counting efficiency is improved, and the camera module includes a counting camera and a light source assembly commonly used in the prior art.
[0031] The baffle plate 24 is detachably arranged in the feeding channel 21, the bottom of the baffle plate 24 and the bottom plate of the feeding channel 21 form a discharge channel, and the distance between the baffle plate 24 and the bottom plate can be manually adjusted.

In the present scheme, baffle plates 24 are arranged before and after the screening assembly 22 to make the material uniformly pass through the feeding channel 21.
[0032] As shown in Figures 5-6As shown, the screening assembly 22 includes a screening plate 221 which is suspended in the material conveying channel 21; the screening plate 221 is provided with a plurality of material leakage channels 222, which are divided into a first material leakage section 223 and a second material leakage section 224 along the material moving direction, and the bottom of the first material leakage section 223 is provided with a material receiving box 225. After the material enters the material conveying channel 21, it reaches the screening plate 221 after passing through the first material blocking plate 24, and then disperses into the plurality of material leakage channels 222 on the screening plate 221 to automatically perform the screening work. The V-shaped material leakage channels 222 facilitate the rolling of the material and avoid the phenomenon of material jamming.
[0033] The width of the first material leakage section 223 is smaller than the width of the second material leakage section 224, and the width of the second material leakage section 224 is matched with the diameter of the target material. The width of the first material leakage section 223 is set to be the size of the target material, and the material smaller than the size can fall through the channel. In this way, the screening of the material smaller than the target size can be realized at the first material leakage section 223, and the small-size material falling off is collected into the material receiving box 225. The difference between the width of the first material leakage section 223 and the width of the second material leakage section 224 is set according to the actual use requirements.
[0034] After passing through the first material leakage section 223, the target-size material reaches the second material leakage section 224 and falls off from the second material leakage section 224 to the bottom plate of the material conveying channel 21 to continue to be conveyed to the camera counting module 25. The material larger than the target size rolls to the end of the screening plate 221 and then is manually taken out.
[0035] As shown in the drawings, Figure 5 The feeding gate assembly 23 includes a coarse feeding gate one 231 upstream of the screening assembly 22, a coarse feeding gate two 232 downstream of the screening assembly 22, a coarse feeding gate three 233, and a fine feeding gate 234. The width of the coarse feeding gate one 231 is matched with the width of the material conveying channel 21, the coarse feeding gate two 232, the coarse feeding gate three 233, and the fine feeding gate 234 are arranged side by side, the downstream of the screening assembly 22 has a coarse feeding gate two channel 236, a coarse feeding gate three channel 237, and a fine feeding gate channel 235, the material in the fine feeding gate channel 235 is arranged in a single row, and the width of the coarse feeding gate two channel 236 and the coarse feeding gate three channel 237 is the same. The coarse feeding gate one 231, the coarse feeding gate two 232, the coarse feeding gate three 233, and the fine feeding gate 234 all pass through the bottom plate of the material conveying channel 21 and are driven by air cylinders.
[0036] In the above scheme, the coarse feeding gate one 231 can intercept or discharge the material as a whole. After passing through the coarse feeding gate one 231, the material is screened by the screening assembly 22. The target size of the material after screening continues to be conveyed forward. The corresponding channels of the coarse feeding gate two 232, the coarse feeding gate three 233 and the fine feeding gate 234 can all convey the material. In actual use, the opening or closing of the coarse feeding gate two 232 and the coarse feeding gate two 232 and the fine feeding gate 234 is controlled through the counting feedback of the camera counting module 25. The material in the channel corresponding to the fine feeding gate 234 is arranged in a single column. The material passes through the fine feeding gate 234 in turn, so that the replenishment is more accurate.
[0037] As shown in Figure 7 The conveying device 3 includes a forward and reverse conveying belt 31, a discharge gate one 32 and a discharge gate two 33 located above the forward and reverse conveying belt, and a discharge hopper 34 and a discharge hopper 35 respectively corresponding to the discharge gate one 32 and the discharge gate two 33. A plurality of limiting strips 26 are arranged on the forward and reverse conveying belt 31. The forward and reverse conveying belt 31 can discharge the material that does not meet the counting requirements and send the material that meets the counting requirements to the packaging device 4 for automatic packaging.
[0038] The counting device of the present application has two counting modes:
[0039] A group of counting modes (automatic mode): in the automatic mode, when starting counting, the cutting gate 26410 is opened, and the material that meets the counting requirements falls directly into the forward and reverse conveying belt 31. For example, if the single package quantity is 100, when 90 materials are counted, the coarse feeding gate two 232 and the coarse feeding gate three 233 are closed. After a falling delay time (delay time T1), the cutting gate 26 is closed. At the same time, the fine feeding gate 234 is opened for replenishment, and the remaining 10 materials are counted. The forward and reverse conveying belt 31 conveys the material that does not exceed the standard to the discharge gate one 32 (the conveying time T2 can be adjusted). When the fine replenishment is completed, the qualified material is conveyed to the discharge hopper 34, and then put into the packaging device 4 together with the packaging device 4 for packaging. If it is unqualified, the forward and reverse conveying belt 31 is reversed to discharge the material, the cutting gate 26 is closed, and the fine feeding gate 234 is opened for re-supply until the fine replenishment is qualified. The counting and packaging are carried out in the above cycle.
[0040] B group of counting modes (manual mode): in the manual mode, the coarse feeding gate two 232, the coarse feeding gate three 233 and the fine feeding gate 234 are all opened. After the material is counted, it falls into the forward and reverse conveying belt 31. When the material reaches the single package quantity (the same for exceeding the standard), the discharge gate two 33 is opened first. After a delay time T1, the forward and reverse conveying belt 31 starts to discharge the material from the discharge hopper 35 on one side of the discharge gate two 33 for bottling. The excess quantity is displayed on the screen, which can be taken out by manual operation.
[0041] The scheme can realize mechanical counting and packaging of small spherical products, the material is naturally rolled and conveyed in the material conveying channel 21, compared with vibration conveying, it is safer and avoids material surface abrasion; and by setting the screening device, the mixing problem can be avoided, the product qualified rate is ensured, and meanwhile, the multiple material leakage channels 222 can disperse the material; the feeding assembly has coarse and fine parts, realizes accurate feeding, ensures counting accuracy, and improves counting efficiency.
