Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of license plate processing, and in particular to an automatic license plate feeding electronic control system. Background Technology

[0002] License plates are a vehicle's "identity card," serving as crucial information to distinguish it from other motor vehicles. With economic development, the number of vehicles per capita has increased rapidly, leading to a corresponding surge in demand for license plates.

[0003] During the processing of license plates, the processed plates need to be stacked and stored uniformly; this process is called plate cutting. To avoid scratches and damage to adjacent plates during stacking, which would affect the quality of the finished product, paper is usually placed between them to separate and protect them. This process is usually still done manually, moving and placing the plates and paper, which is inefficient and incurs high labor costs over the long term. Therefore, an automatic cutting device is needed to automatically cut license plates, improving the automation level and work efficiency. Devices capable of automatic license plate cutting all have mechanical structures and electronic control systems; among them, the electronic control system is the key, controlling the mechanical structure to complete the automatic cutting work. Therefore, the quality of the electronic control system directly affects the practicality of the automatic license plate cutting device.

[0004] Therefore, an automatic license plate feeding electronic control system is proposed here. Utility Model Content

[0044] The mode switch is used to issue a command to switch the working mode.

[0045] The motor brake switch is used to protect the electronic control system. The motor brake switch can detect the status of the drive module (including the current and voltage of the drive module, etc.), and control the drive module to stop running when a fault occurs.

[0046] Furthermore, the control switch is a touch screen controller.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that it also includes a status display module, which is used to display the operating status of the electrical control system; the status display module is electrically connected to the PLC controller and receives status information sent by the PLC controller.
