It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model; the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance; furthermore, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "joined" should be interpreted broadly, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection within two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment illustrates a ceramic capacitor dispensing and counting device, including a machine base 1, an upper cover 2, an operation panel 3, a feeding mechanism 4, a vibratory feeder 5, a counting track 6, a vibratory feeder 7, and a PLC controller.

[0024] The aforementioned operation panel 3, feeding mechanism 4, vibratory feeder feeding mechanism 5, counting track 6, and vibratory feeder 7 are all fixed on the machine base 1. The upper cover 2 covers the vibratory feeder feeding mechanism 5 and the counting track 6. The operation panel 3 is electrically connected to the PLC controller, and control commands or related parameters can be input to the PLC controller through the operation panel 3.

[0025] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 4 is used to store the materials that need to be divided and to supply the materials to the vibratory feeder feeding mechanism 5 at the appropriate time. The vibratory feeder feeding mechanism 5 realizes the automatic arrangement of materials through vibration and transports the materials one by one to the counting track 6.

[0026] A counting sensor 8 for recording the quantity of material discharged is installed at the outlet of the counting track 6. The counting sensor 8 and the feeding mechanism 4 are both electrically connected to the PLC controller. The required quantity of material is preset in the PLC controller. When the count value of the counting sensor 8 is equal to the set value, the PLC controller controls the feeding mechanism to stop feeding.

[0027] like Figure 2As shown, the vibrating feeder 7 includes a receiving tray 71 and a micro-vibrating platform 72. The receiving tray 71 is installed on the power output end of the top of the micro-vibrating platform 72. The receiving tray 71 is used to receive materials sliding down from the dotted track 6. The micro-vibrating platform 72 is used to prevent the materials from piling up and to spread them flat on the receiving tray 71. In this embodiment, the horizontal cross-section of the receiving tray 71 is rectangular and its bottom is flat; this is conducive to the neat arrangement of materials and facilitates the subsequent transfer of materials.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 The feeding mechanism 4 includes a vertical vibrator 41, a support 42, a hopper 43, and a feeding channel 44. The hopper 43 is fixed to the power output end of the vertical vibrator 41 and to the top of the support 42. The bottom end of the hopper 43 has a discharge port, and the feeding channel 44 is located below the discharge port. The feeding channel 44 has a downwardly inclined discharge port. The material in the hopper 43 slides down into the feeding channel 44 under the action of gravity. When the vertical vibrator 41 is working, it can drive the feeding channel 44 to vibrate, so that the material in the feeding channel 44 falls into the vibrating plate feeding mechanism 5.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The vibratory feeder mechanism 5 includes a vibratory motor 51, a vibratory feeder 52, and a material shortage sensor 53. The vibratory feeder 52 is used to load materials. The vibratory feeder 52 is fixedly installed on the power output end of the vibratory motor 51. When the vibratory motor 51 is working, it can make the vibratory feeder 52 vibrate at a directional frequency so that the materials are automatically arranged and transported to the counting track 6.

[0030] A material shortage sensor 53 is installed above the vibratory feeder 52 and is electrically connected to the PLC controller. When no material is detected, the PLC controller controls the feeding mechanism 4 to feed material. In practical applications, a photoelectric sensor can be used. The emitting end of the photoelectric sensor emits light towards the bottom of the vibratory feeder. Since the light transmission path is different when there is material and when there is no material, the PLC controller can determine whether there is material based on the time it takes for the receiving end to receive the returned light.

[0031] Reference Figure 5 The vibratory feeder 52 has a spirally ascending conveyor track 521 on its internal cavity wall. The width of the conveyor track 521 is designed to match the specifications of the material, so that only one material can pass through at a certain cross-sectional position. This ensures that only one material passes through the exit of the counting track 6 at any given time, which helps improve the calculation accuracy of the counting sensor 8 and avoids counting errors caused by multiple materials passing through simultaneously. The vibratory feeder feeding mechanism 5 in this embodiment is compatible with five types of materials: 0201, 0402, 0603, 0805, and 1206.

[0032] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the conveyor track 521 is inclined downwards on the outward side, and the material also tilts and abuts against the wall of the conveyor track under the action of gravity, which can prevent the material from accidentally falling to the bottom of the vibrating plate.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the material counting device of this embodiment also includes an alert device 9, which is fixed on the upper cover and electrically connected to the PLC controller. When the count of the counting sensor 8 is equal to the set value, the PLC controller controls the alert device 9 to emit sound and / or light to inform the user.

[0034] In summary, through the above design, the material sorting and counting equipment implemented in this embodiment realizes automatic material sorting and counting of ceramic capacitors, which improves production efficiency and the accuracy of material sorting and measurement compared with the existing manual material sorting method.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
