Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical storage device technology, and in particular to a device for calculating the number of optical discs. Background Technology

[0002] Optical discs are storage media that utilize laser technology to store and retrieve data. Optical storage technology encompasses the field of science and technology that uses the interaction of lasers with specific media to store information. As a data storage medium, optical discs operate on the principle of optical technology, reading or writing data through the reflection and refraction of laser light on the disc's surface. Optical discs are characterized by their energy efficiency, security, reliability, and long lifespan, typically 50 to 100 years, making them ideal for long-term, low-cost storage of massive amounts of data. In daily life, optical discs are primarily used for distributing audio and video content, data backup, and distributing software and games.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN210295177U; this utility model relates to the field of optical storage devices and provides a device for detecting the number of discs. The device includes a disc-grabbing finger, a support, a distance measuring device, and a controller. The support is a cantilever support, with the disc-grabbing finger positioned at the cantilever end. The distance measuring device, mounted on the support and connected to the controller, measures the distance between the disc and the controller. The controller receives signals from the distance measuring device and calculates the number of discs on the disc-grabbing finger. This utility model effectively determines the number of discs on the disc-grabbing finger. By simplifying the design of the position, structure, and other aspects of the distance detection device, support device, and support, detection errors are reduced, and the number of discs on the disc-grabbing finger is effectively determined, thereby indirectly obtaining the number of discs dispensed by the disc-grabbing finger.

[0004] Although the aforementioned patent mentions in its specification that "this device can effectively determine the number of discs on the picking fingers. By simplifying the design of the position, structure, and orientation of components such as the distance detection device, support device, and bracket, the detection error is reduced and the number of discs on the picking fingers is effectively determined, thereby indirectly obtaining the number of discs distributed by the picking fingers," it cannot guarantee that the discs will fall one by one when picking them up, and the counting of the number of discs is not accurate enough. Therefore, to address these shortcomings, a disc count calculation device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a disc quantity counting device that improves the problem that some existing disc quantity counting devices cannot place discs one by one by the fingers holding the discs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0011] Furthermore, the outer side of the sliding post is slidably connected to the inside of the fixed sleeve, and the outer side of the sliding post is slidably connected to the top of the lower electrode plate.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a disc quantity counting device, including a fixed plate 1, which provides a stable support for fixing the device in an appropriate position. A mounting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the fixed plate 1, which supports other structures. A disc-grabbing finger 3 is installed on the top right side of the mounting plate 2, which is used to grab the disc. A connecting block 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the disc-grabbing finger 3. A sliding column 5 is slidably connected inside the connecting block 4. A fixing sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 4. The sliding column 5 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing sleeve 6. This design allows the sliding column 5 to contact the disc's support when the disc is picked up and placed, thus causing the sliding column 5 to move. A spring 7 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding column 5. One end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the top side inside the fixing sleeve 6, and the other end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding ring 8. The spring 7 provides the force for the sliding column 5 to move and reset.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4 A sliding ring 8 is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding column 5. Connecting rods 9 are rotatably connected to both sides of the sliding ring 8. Support plates 10 are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the two connecting rods 9. Connecting rods 9 connect the sliding ring 8 and the support plates 10, allowing the up-and-down movement of the sliding ring 8 to be converted into a corresponding action of the support plates 10. The support plates 10 are slidably connected to the outside of the fixed sleeve 6. The support plates 10 are used to limit the movement when gripping the optical disc. Connecting rods 11 are rotatably connected to both the front and rear sides of the sliding ring 8. Separators 12 are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the two connecting rods 11. Connecting rods 11 connect the sliding ring 8 and the separators 12, allowing the up-and-down movement of the sliding ring 8 to be converted into a corresponding action of the separators 12. The separators 12 are slidably connected to the outside of the fixed sleeve 6. A sensor counting component is installed on the top of the mounting plate 2. This component uses capacitance changes to detect the optical disc and thus counts the discs.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 2 The sensing and counting assembly includes a capacitance sensor 13, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 2. A controller 14 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the mounting plate 2. The capacitance sensor 13 and the controller 14 are electrically connected. The capacitance sensor 13 is used to sense the optical disc and send a signal to the controller 14. The controller 14 receives the signal from the capacitance sensor 13 and processes it to realize the counting function. An upper electrode plate 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the mounting plate 2. A lower electrode plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing sleeve 6. The lower electrode plate 16 and the upper electrode plate 15 work together to sense the presence of the optical disc. The upper electrode plate 15 and the lower electrode plate 16 are electrically connected to the capacitance sensor 13. The sliding column 5 is slidably connected to the top of the lower electrode plate 16. An optical disc 17 is disposed on the outside of the fixing sleeve 6.

[0026] Working principle: When counting optical discs, a certain number of optical discs are first placed at the bottom of the disc-picking finger 3, i.e., outside the fixing sleeve 6. Then, the optical disc 17 is controlled to drop downwards. When the sliding post 5 contacts the bottom optical disc drive bearing, it will slide upwards, causing the sliding ring 8 to move upwards. As the sliding ring 8 moves upwards, the connecting rod 9 will rotate, allowing the support plate 10 to slide inwards into the fixing sleeve 6. As the sliding ring 8 moves upwards, the connecting rod 11 will also rotate, allowing the partition plate 12 to slide inwards into the fixing sleeve 6. The external sliding of 6 allows a disc to fall downwards and enter the disc drive. When the sliding post 5 moves away from the disc support, the spring 7 rebounds, causing the support plate 10 to slide out again and the partition plate 12 to retract back into the fixing sleeve 6. This completes the detection and storage of each disc. During this process, an electric field is formed between the upper electrode plate 15 and the lower electrode plate 16. The controller 14 can then detect the capacitance within the electric field and input the detection signal into the controller 14, which can then calculate the number of discs.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
