Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, and more specifically, to a detection device and a conveying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The conveying equipment includes a conveyor belt, which is used to transport conveyed components. The width of the conveyor belt is greater than the width of the conveyed component, and the conveyor belt has multiple placement positions along its width to improve conveying efficiency. These placement positions, arranged along the width of the conveyor belt, form a row. Downstream equipment picks up the conveyed components from the conveyor belt and processes them. Downstream equipment requires a certain number of conveyed components and a stable feeding rhythm to ensure the continuity and stability of production. Therefore, a row of placement positions must be fully filled to be considered full before the components can be picked up and subsequent processes can proceed. When there are empty positions in a row without any conveyed components, it will affect the normal operation of downstream equipment, leading to equipment shutdowns or defective products.

[0003] In related technologies, a detection device is installed above the conveyor belt. This device can detect whether a conveyor component is present in a row of placement positions, but it cannot detect whether there are empty spaces on the conveyor belt without a conveyor component. For example, if a photoelectric sensor is used as the detection device in related technologies, when at least one conveyor component is present in a row of placement positions, that component can block the signal transmission of the photoelectric sensor, causing the sensor to determine that the row is full. The inability of photoelectric sensors to detect empty spaces in a row of placement positions can easily affect the normal operation of downstream equipment, impacting production efficiency and quality.

[0004] Thus, the detection devices in the relevant technologies cannot determine whether there are empty spaces in a row of placement positions, which can easily affect production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a detection device and a conveying device for conveying equipment, so as to solve the problem that the detection device in the related technology cannot determine whether there is an empty space in a row of placement positions, which easily affects the production efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a detection device for a conveying equipment is provided for detecting conveying components on a conveyor belt. The detection device includes: a support; a first swinging member swayably disposed on the support, the first swinging member having a first initial position and a first swinging position; a second swinging member swayably disposed on the support, the second swinging member being spaced apart from the first swinging member along the width direction of the conveyor belt, the second swinging member having a second initial position and a second swinging position; and a photoelectric detection structure including a photoelectric sensor and a reflector, the photoelectric sensor and the reflector being respectively disposed on both sides of the width direction of the conveyor belt, and a transmission path being formed between the photoelectric sensor and the reflector; wherein, when the first swinging member is in the first initial position, the first swinging member blocks the transmission path; when the second swinging member is in the second initial position, the second swinging member blocks the transmission path; when the first swinging member is in the first swinging position and the second swinging member is in the second swinging position, a transmission path is formed between the photoelectric sensor and the reflector, and the photoelectric sensor receives a photoelectric signal.

[0007] Furthermore, the first oscillating member includes a first triggering part and a first blocking part connected to the first triggering part. The conveying member pushes the first triggering part to cause the first blocking part to oscillate, and the first blocking part can block the transmission path. The first triggering part has a first triggering surface that abuts against the conveying member and the first triggering surface extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt. And / or, the first blocking part has a first blocking surface for blocking the transmission path and the first blocking surface extends along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt.

[0008] Furthermore, when the first triggering part has a first triggering surface that abuts against the conveyor and the first triggering surface extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt, the first triggering part includes a first plate and a second plate. The first plate is connected to the first shielding part, and the second plate is movably disposed on the first plate along the width direction of the conveyor belt.

[0009] Furthermore, the support includes legs and a crossbar mounted on the legs, the crossbar extending along the width of the conveyor belt, and both the first swing member and the second swing member are swingably mounted on the crossbar.

[0010] Furthermore, the first oscillating member is adjustablely positioned on the crossbar along the width direction of the conveyor belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the detection device of the conveying equipment also includes a stop ring that is detachably mounted on the crossbar. The stop ring is located on at least one side of the first swing member and cooperates with the stop of the first swing member. The stop ring includes a first connector, a second connector, and a fastener. The first connector is provided with a first opening groove, and the second connector is provided with a second opening groove. When the fastener connects the first connector and the second connector, the first opening groove and the second opening groove form a mounting hole, and the crossbar is located in the mounting hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the second oscillating member includes a second triggering part and a second blocking part connected to the second triggering part. The conveying member abuts against the second triggering part to drive the second blocking part to oscillate. The second blocking part is capable of blocking the transmission path. The second triggering part has a second triggering surface that abuts against the conveying member and extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt. And / or, the second blocking part has a second blocking surface for blocking the transmission path and extends along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt.

[0013] According to another aspect of the present invention, a conveying device is provided, including a conveyor belt and a detection device, the detection device being used to detect conveyed components on the conveyor belt, and the detection device being the detection device of the aforementioned conveying device.

[0014] Furthermore, the conveying components include a first conveying component and a second conveying component, and the conveying equipment also includes a blocking structure. The blocking structure is located downstream of the detection device and is movably disposed above the conveyor belt to have a blocking position and a clearance position. When the blocking structure is in the blocking position, it blocks the first conveying component and the second conveying component. The first conveying component pushes the first swing component to switch to the first swing position, and the second conveying component pushes the second swing component to switch to the second swing position, so that a transmission path is formed between the photoelectric sensor and the reflector. When the blocking structure is in the clearance position, it clears the first conveying component and the second conveying component.

[0015] Furthermore, the conveying equipment also includes a frame and a partition plate located above the conveyor belt, the partition plate being movably mounted on the frame along the width direction of the conveyor belt.

[0016] The present invention provides a detection device for a conveying equipment used to detect conveyed components on a conveyor belt. The detection device includes a support, a first swinging component, a second swinging component, and a photoelectric detection structure. The first swinging component is oscillatingly mounted on the support and has a first initial position and a first swinging position. The second swinging component is oscillatingly mounted on the support, spaced apart from the first swinging component along the width direction of the conveyor belt, and has a second initial position and a second swinging position. The photoelectric detection structure includes a photoelectric sensor and a reflector, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt along its width direction, forming a transmission path between them. Specifically, when the first swinging component is in the first initial position, it blocks the transmission path. When the second swinging component is in the second initial position, it also blocks the transmission path. When the first swinging component is in the first swinging position and the second swinging component is in the second swinging position, a transmission path is formed between the photoelectric sensor and the reflector, and the photoelectric sensor receives a photoelectric signal. Multiple placement positions are provided on the conveyor belt, forming a row of placement positions arranged along the width direction of the conveyor belt. In this way, the first and second oscillating members, spaced apart along the width of the conveyor belt, correspond to the placement positions arranged along the width of the conveyor belt, allowing the first and second oscillating members to correspond to a row of placement positions. When a row of placement positions is full, multiple conveying members can abut against the first and second oscillating members respectively, thereby pushing the first oscillating member to switch to the first oscillating position and pushing the second oscillating member to switch to the second oscillating position. At this time, both the first and second oscillating members avoid the transmission path between the photoelectric sensor and the reflector, so that the photoelectric sensor can receive the photoelectric signal, and the detection device determines that a row of placement positions on the conveyor equipment is full, thus facilitating the retrieval by downstream equipment. When there is an empty space in a row of placement positions without a conveyor component, the empty space passes through either the first or second swinging member. The first swinging member is in a first initial position, or the second swinging member is in a second initial position. At this time, the first or second swinging member can block the transmission path, breaking the transmission path between the photoelectric sensor and the reflector. This allows the detection device to determine if there is an empty space in a row of placement positions on the conveyor equipment, facilitating timely adjustment of the conveyor component placement and reducing the impact on the normal operation of downstream equipment, thereby improving production efficiency. Therefore, the technical solution of this application effectively solves the problem in related technologies where the detection device cannot determine whether there is an empty space in a row of placement positions, which easily affects production efficiency.

It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the detection device of the conveying equipment is used to detect the conveyor component 72 on the conveyor belt 71. The detection device of the conveying equipment includes: a bracket, a first swinging component 20, a second swinging component 30, and a photoelectric detection structure. The first swinging component 20 is swingably mounted on the bracket and has a first initial position and a first swinging position. The second swinging component 30 is swingably mounted on the bracket and is spaced apart from the first swinging component 20 along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71. The second swinging component 30 has a second initial position and a second swinging position. The photoelectric detection structure includes a photoelectric sensor 41 and a reflector 42, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the width direction of the conveyor belt 71, and a transmission path can be formed between the photoelectric sensor 41 and the reflector 42. When the first swinging component 20 is in the first initial position, the first swinging component 20 blocks the transmission path. When the second swinging component 30 is in the second initial position, the second swinging component 30 blocks the transmission path. When the first swing member 20 is in the first swing position and the second swing member 30 is in the second swing position, a transmission path is formed between the photoelectric sensor 41 and the reflector 42, and the photoelectric sensor 41 and the reflector 42 are connected by a signal.

[0033] In this embodiment, multiple placement positions are provided on the conveyor belt 71, forming a row of placement positions arranged along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71. Thus, the first swing member 20 and the second swing member 30, spaced apart along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71, correspond to the placement positions arranged along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71, allowing the first swing member 20 and the second swing member 30 to correspond to the row of placement positions. When the conveyor members 72 in a row of placement positions are full, the multiple conveyor members 72 can abut against the first swing member 20 and the second swing member 30 respectively, thereby pushing the first swing member 20 to switch to the first swing position and pushing the second swing member 30 to switch to the second swing position. At this time, both the first swing member 20 and the second swing member 30 avoid the transmission path between the photoelectric sensor 41 and the reflector 42, allowing the photoelectric sensor 41 to receive photoelectric signals. The detection device then determines that the row of placement positions on the conveyor equipment is full, facilitating the retrieval by downstream equipment. When there is an empty space without a conveyor component 72 in a row of placement positions, the empty space passes through either the first swing member 20 or the second swing member 30. The first swing member 20 is in a first initial position, or the second swing member 30 is in a second initial position. At this time, either the first swing member 20 or the second swing member 30 can block the transmission path, breaking the transmission path between the photoelectric sensor 41 and the reflector 42. This allows the detection device to determine that there is an empty space in a row of placement positions on the conveying equipment, facilitating timely adjustment of the placement of the conveyor component 72, reducing the impact on the normal operation of downstream equipment, and thus improving production efficiency. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem in related technologies where the detection device cannot determine whether there is an empty space in a row of placement positions, easily affecting production efficiency.

[0034] In this embodiment, there are multiple first oscillating members 20, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71. There are also multiple second oscillating members 30, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71. When all the first oscillating members 20 are in the first oscillating position and all the second oscillating members 30 are in the second oscillating position, a transmission path is formed between the photoelectric sensor 41 and the reflector 42, and the photoelectric sensor 41 receives a photoelectric signal.

[0035] It should be noted that "multiple first swing members 20" and "multiple second swing members 30" refer to two, three, or more. In this embodiment, the sum of the number of first swing members 20 and the number of second swing members 30 is equal to the number of conveyors in a row of placement positions. Each conveyor in a row of placement positions corresponds to one first swing member 20 or one second swing member 30. When there are three or more conveyors, the number of first swing members 20 and the number of second swing members 30 can also be adjusted accordingly.

[0036] In this embodiment, the photoelectric detection structure is a mirror-reflection photoelectric sensor 41, which has high sensitivity and beam focusing performance, enabling it to more accurately detect the swing of the first swing member 20 and the second swing member 30, reduce the risk of misjudgment, improve the response speed and detection accuracy of the detection device, reduce production interruptions caused by detection device failure, and improve production efficiency.

[0037] In other embodiments, there is one first swing member 20 and one second swing member 30. Alternatively, there are multiple first swing members 20 and one second swing member 30. Or, there is one first swing member 20 and multiple second swing members 30.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first swing member 20 includes a first trigger part 21 and a first blocking part 22 connected to the first trigger part 21. The conveyor 72 pushes the first trigger part 21 to cause the first blocking part 22 to swing, and the first blocking part 22 can block the transmission path. The first trigger part 21 has a first trigger surface 211 that abuts against the conveyor 72, and the first trigger surface 211 extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71. The first blocking part 22 has a first blocking surface 221 for blocking the transmission path, and the first blocking surface 221 extends along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 71. Through the arrangement of the first trigger part 21 and the first blocking part 22, the conveyor 72 can push the first blocking part 22 to swing through the first trigger part 21, thereby controlling the blocking part 22 to block or avoid the transmission path of the photoelectric detection structure, improving the directness and accuracy of the detection. The first trigger surface 211 extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71, increasing the contact area between the conveyor 72 and the first trigger part 21. This allows the conveyor 72 to more effectively push the first trigger part 21 when it passes the first swing member 20, thus improving the accuracy of detection. The first blocking surface 221 extends along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 71, improving the effectiveness of the first blocking part 22 in blocking the transmission path, thereby improving the accuracy of detection.

[0039] In other embodiments, the first oscillating member 20 includes a first trigger portion 21 and a first blocking portion 22 connected to the first trigger portion 21. The conveyor 72 pushes the first trigger portion 21 to cause the first blocking portion 22 to oscillate, and the first blocking portion 22 can block the transmission path. The first trigger portion 21 has a first trigger surface 211 that abuts against the conveyor 72, and the first trigger surface 211 extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71. Alternatively, the first blocking portion 22 has a first blocking surface 221 for blocking the transmission path, and the first blocking surface 221 extends along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 71.

[0040] In an embodiment not shown, when the first triggering part has a first triggering surface that abuts against the conveyor component, and the first triggering surface extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt, the first triggering part includes a first plate and a second plate. The first plate is connected to a first blocking part, and the second plate is movably disposed on the first plate along the width direction of the conveyor belt. The first triggering part is composed of a first plate and a second plate, and the second plate is movable along the width direction of the conveyor belt. This allows the first triggering part to be flexibly adjusted according to changes in the size and specifications of the conveyor component, improving the versatility and adaptability of the detection device and reducing the difficulty of adjustment when replacing conveyor components of different sizes and specifications. When the diameter of the conveyor component increases, the relative movement of the first plate and the second plate increases the contact area between the first triggering part and the conveyor component, thereby enabling the conveyor component to effectively trigger the first triggering part.

[0041] In an embodiment not shown, a groove is provided on the first plate, and the second plate is slidably disposed within the groove. The first swing member 20 also includes screws that can fix the second plate to the first plate.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support includes legs 11 and a crossbar 12 mounted on the legs 11. The crossbar 12 extends along the width of the conveyor belt 71. Both the first swing member 20 and the second swing member 30 are swingably mounted on the crossbar 12. The support structure uses a combination of legs 11 and crossbar 12. The crossbar 12, extending along the width of the conveyor belt 71, provides a stable and flexible mounting position for the first swing member 20 and the second swing member 30, facilitating the processing and assembly of the testing device. This design not only improves the stability of the first and second swing members 30 during swinging but also, due to the presence of the crossbar 12, facilitates the installation and disassembly of the first and second swing members 20 and 30, simplifying the maintenance process.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first oscillating element 20 is adjustablely positioned on the crossbar 12 along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71. This adjustable position of the first oscillating element 20 on the crossbar 12 allows the detection device to be fine-tuned for conveyor belts 71 of different widths or conveyor components 72 of different sizes, ensuring detection accuracy and improving the adaptability of the detection device. The adjustable position of the first oscillating element 20 also facilitates the installation and subsequent maintenance and adjustment of the detection device, improving its flexibility and operability.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the detection device of the conveying equipment also includes a stop ring 50 removably mounted on the crossbar 12. The stop ring 50 is located on at least one side of the first swing member 20 and engages with the first swing member 20. The stop ring 50 includes a first connector 51, a second connector 52, and a fastener 53. The first connector 51 is provided with a first opening groove 511, and the second connector 52 is provided with a second opening groove 521. When the fastener 53 connects the first connector 51 and the second connector 52, the first opening groove 511 and the second opening groove 521 form a mounting hole, and the crossbar 12 is located in the mounting hole. The stop ring 50 facilitates the swinging mounting of the first swing member 20 on the crossbar 12 and facilitates the axial positioning of the first swing member 20 along the crossbar 12. The removable stop ring 50 facilitates the adjustment of the position of the first swing member 20 on the crossbar 12 along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71, and also allows the stop ring 50 to be adjusted or replaced according to actual needs, enhancing the maintenance convenience and versatility of the detection device.

[0045] In this embodiment, there are two stop rings 50, which are located on both sides of the first swing member 20 along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71, so as to limit the axial displacement of the first swing member 20 along the crossbar 12.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second swing member 30 includes a second trigger part 31 and a second blocking part 32 connected to the second trigger part 31. The conveyor 72 abuts against the second trigger part 31 to drive the second blocking part 32 to swing, and the second blocking part 32 can block the transmission path. The second trigger part 31 has a second trigger surface 311 that abuts against the conveyor 72, and the second trigger surface 311 extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71. The second blocking part 32 has a second blocking surface 321 for blocking the transmission path, and the second blocking surface 321 extends along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 71. Through the arrangement of the second trigger part 31 and the second blocking part 32, the conveyor 72 can push the second blocking part 32 to swing through the second trigger part 31, thereby controlling the second blocking part 32 to block or avoid the transmission path of the photoelectric detection structure, improving the directness and accuracy of the detection. The second triggering surface 311 extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71, increasing the contact area between the conveyor 72 and the second triggering part 31. This allows the conveyor 72 to more effectively push the second triggering part 31 when it passes the second swing member 30, thus improving the accuracy of detection. The second blocking surface 321 extends along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 71, improving the effectiveness of the second blocking part 32 in blocking the transmission path, thereby improving the accuracy of detection.

[0047] In this embodiment, the second swing member 30 has the same structure as the first swing member 20. The second swing member 30 and the first swing member 20 work together on the transmission path of the photoelectric detection structure to ensure comprehensive detection in the width direction of the conveyor belt 71, which facilitates more comprehensive identification of empty spaces on the conveyor belt 71.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first trigger part 21, the first blocking part 22, the second trigger part 31, and the second blocking part 32 are preferably made of plastic material, which has good elasticity and wear resistance to extend their service life. The surfaces of the second swing member 30 and the first swing member 20 are polished to reduce the friction between the second swing member 30 and the conveyor 72, and to prevent adhesion, thereby further improving the accuracy of detection.

[0049] In other embodiments, the second oscillating member 30 includes a second trigger portion 31 and a second blocking portion 32 connected to the second trigger portion 31. The conveying member 72 abuts against the second trigger portion 31 to drive the second blocking portion 32 to oscillate, and the second blocking portion 32 can block the transmission path. The second trigger portion 31 has a second trigger surface 311 that abuts against the conveying member 72, and the second trigger surface 311 extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71. Alternatively, the second blocking portion 32 has a second blocking surface 321 for blocking the transmission path, and the second blocking surface 321 extends along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 71.

[0050] This application also provides a conveying device, which includes a conveyor belt 71 and a detection device. The detection device is used to detect the conveying components 72 on the conveyor belt 71. The detection device is the detection device of the aforementioned conveying device. Since the aforementioned detection device can solve the problem in the related art where the detection device cannot determine whether there are empty spaces in a row of placement positions, which easily affects production efficiency, the conveying device with this detection device can solve the same technical problem.

[0051] In this embodiment, the photoelectric detection structure of the detection device is connected to the signal of the downstream device.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the conveyor 72 includes a first conveyor 72 and a second conveyor 72. The conveying equipment also includes a blocking structure 60, which is located downstream of the detection device. The blocking structure 60 is movably disposed above the conveyor belt 71 to have a blocking position and a clearance position. When the blocking structure 60 is in the blocking position, it blocks the first and second conveyor 72. The first conveyor 72 pushes the first swing member 20 to switch to the first swing position, and the second conveyor 72 pushes the second swing member 30 to switch to the second swing position, so that a transmission path is formed between the photoelectric sensor 41 and the reflector 42. When the blocking structure 60 is in the clearance position, it avoids the first and second conveyor 72. By setting the blocking structure 60, the conveying rhythm of the first and second conveyor 72 can be controlled, ensuring that the conveyor 72 is only allowed to pass when the detection device confirms that the material is full. This avoids abnormal operation of downstream equipment due to empty spaces in a row of placement positions, further improving production efficiency and product qualification rate.

[0053] In this embodiment, the downstream equipment determines that the material is full only when all rows of placement positions are free of empty spaces. Because the conveyor belt 71 transports materials forward and the blocking structure 60 obstructs the conveyor component 72, empty spaces can be located in the last row of placement positions. Thus, the detection device detects the last row of placement positions. When the last row is determined to be full, the entire material distribution is considered full, and the downstream equipment can then utilize the material.

[0054] In this embodiment, the blocking structure 60 consists of multiple vertically extending columns. The blocking structure 60 is movable along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71 to block or avoid the conveyor component 72. In other embodiments, the blocking structure 60 is vertically movable to block or avoid the conveyor component 72.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, the conveying equipment also includes a frame 61 and a partition plate 62 located above the conveyor belt 71. The partition plate 62 is movably mounted on the frame 61 along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71. The arrangement of the frame 61 and the partition plate 62 allows the conveying components 72 to be conveyed on both sides of the partition plate 62, reducing the possibility of the conveying components 72 deviating from their placement position on the conveyor belt 71. Furthermore, the movable arrangement of the partition plate 62 allows the conveying equipment to be flexibly adjusted according to changes in the size and specifications of the conveying components 72, which not only optimizes the arrangement of the conveying components 72 and improves the accuracy of detection, but also enables the conveying equipment to adapt to different production needs, enhancing the adaptability of the equipment.

[0056] In this embodiment, there are multiple partition plates 62, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71. A conveying channel is formed between two adjacent partition plates 62. The frame 61 includes support rods and crossbeams connected to the support rods. The crossbeams extend along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71. The conveying equipment also includes clamping plates 63 and fastening connectors 64. The partition plates 62 are located below the crossbeams, and the clamping plates 63 are located above the crossbeams. The fastening connectors 64 connect the partition plates 62 and the clamping plates 63 to clamp the crossbeams between the partition plates 62 and the clamping plates 63.

[0057] In this embodiment, the downstream equipment is a wrapping machine, and the conveyor 72 is a packaging container. During packaging, the wrapping machine requires a certain number of packaging containers and a stable feeding rhythm to ensure the continuity and stability of the packaging operation. When a row of placement positions on the conveyor belt 71 is full of packaging containers, i.e., in a full-load state, it provides a stable feeding rhythm for the wrapping machine, avoiding situations such as empty packages, incomplete packaging, or wasted packaging film due to insufficient packaging containers, thus affecting production quality. If the number of packaging containers in a row of placement positions on the conveyor belt 71 is insufficient, i.e., there are empty positions, the wrapping machine may malfunction during operation because it cannot grab enough packaging containers, or the tension of the packaging film may be problematic, thus affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Operating the wrapping machine in a full-load state maintains a relatively stable operating condition, reducing wear and tear on equipment parts caused by frequent starts and stops, extending the equipment's service life, and improving production efficiency. On automated production lines, upstream of the wrapping machine are typically filling and labeling equipment, while downstream are palletizing and warehousing processes. Instructing the wrapping machine to operate when the material is full can better coordinate the operating rhythm of upstream and downstream equipment, making the material flow of the entire production line smoother and avoiding production interruptions or backlogs due to insufficient or excessive material in a certain link, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0058] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the conveyor 72 is a tank with a diameter of 5cm and a height of 15cm. The crossbar 12 has a diameter of 12mm and a length of 400cm. The first trigger part 21 is a rectangular plate with a vertical length of 50mm and a width of 25mm along the width direction of the conveyor belt 71. The first shielding part 22 is a rectangular plate with a vertical length of 35mm. The distance between the mirror reflection photoelectric sensor 41 and its adjacent first shielding part 22 is 20mm. Testing showed that in 300 detection cycles, the device consistently determined the material to be full, the equipment operated smoothly, and the defect rate due to insufficient material was controlled within 1%, effectively ensuring product packaging quality and production efficiency, improving production efficiency by 20%, and achieving a full material detection accuracy of over 99%.

[0059] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that "multiple" means two or more. Directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right," "horizontal, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal," and "top, bottom" indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are used solely for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms 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 limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner or outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0060] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0061] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0062] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
