Description

An online automatic material counting machine Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material counting machines, specifically an online automatic material counting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A material counting machine is a device used to quickly and accurately calculate and identify the quantity of materials on a tray. It is commonly used in the electronics manufacturing industry for counting and managing electronic components. During operation, electronic components are placed on a tray and fed into the machine. The machine then uses an intelligent barcode reader to automatically perform image processing and analysis, and calculates the quantity of materials without the need for manual counting.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN107832827A, entitled "SMT Component Counting Machine," discloses a system including a first scanning camera and a second scanning camera. The increased scanning area expands the detection range of the SMT component counting machine, overcoming the limitation of small detection range in existing technologies due to manufacturing process constraints of image acquisition devices. However, this machine only performs the component counting function; after counting, labeling is required. Workers must manually remove the counting labels from the printer and apply them, resulting in low efficiency and unsuitability for large-scale component counting. Therefore, this invention provides an online automatic component counting machine to solve the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an online automatic material counting machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

A tray support is placed on top of both the feeding mechanism and the unloading cart, and a tray body is placed on top of the tray support. The feeding mechanism includes a mounting frame, a feeding conveyor belt on top of the mounting frame, a first sensing camera above the feeding conveyor belt, a placement groove on one side of the feeding conveyor belt, and a first lifting mechanism for lifting the tray body on one side of the placement groove. The automatic labeling mechanism includes a metal bracket, a conveyor belt on top of the metal bracket, a printer on one side of the conveyor belt, and a second sensing camera above the conveyor belt. A moving mechanism is provided on top of both the mounting frame and the metal bracket, and a robotic arm is provided at the moving end of the moving mechanism.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a control console is provided on the front surface of the automatic feeding mechanism.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the automatic material counting mechanism includes: a mounting platform, a material counting conveyor belt on the top of the mounting platform, and a code reading camera above the material counting conveyor belt.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the automatic unloading mechanism includes: a support platform, a moving mechanism on the top of the support platform, a discharge conveyor belt on one side of the moving mechanism, a storage trough on one side of the discharge conveyor belt, a receiving bracket in the storage trough, the receiving bracket having the same structure as the material tray bracket, one end of the receiving bracket being located above the unloading vehicle, and a second lifting mechanism fixed on the support platform near the receiving bracket, the first lifting mechanism having the same structure as the second lifting mechanism.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] In use, this invention features a tray support, a feeding mechanism, and an automatic labeling mechanism. During feeding, the feeding mechanism removes the tray body from the tray support and transports it via a conveyor belt. After counting, the automatic labeling mechanism automatically affixes the labels printed by the printer to the surface of the tray body. Thanks to the feeding and automatic labeling mechanisms, manual operation is not required, improving the counting efficiency of the counting machine. Multiple tray bodies can be placed on the tray support simultaneously, eliminating the need for frequent manual pushing of the feeding cart and avoiding the need for frequent manual removal from the unloading cart.
