Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical device technology, and in particular to an automatic counting device for stacking plastic sheets. Background Technology
[0002] The automatic counting device for plastic sheet stacking is a device specifically designed for the automated counting of stacked plastic sheets. By integrating sensors, image recognition, mechanical transmission or photoelectric detection technology, it replaces manual counting methods and achieves rapid, accurate and non-contact counting of the number of plastic sheets in a stacked state.
[0003] Existing automatic stacking counting devices eliminate the need for manual counting of each piece, enabling real-time counting during the stacking of plastic sheets and reducing labor costs and human error. However, the mounting brackets for photoelectric sensors, laser emitters, or industrial cameras are mostly fixed, making it impossible to dynamically adjust the detection distance based on the stacking height and sheet thickness. Current technologies involve installing laser rangefinders or ultrasonic rangefinders next to the stacking area to detect the distance between the top of the stack and the reference surface vertically downwards, calculating the current stacking height in real time. However, the top of the stack may vibrate due to tilting, deformation, or dynamic stacking, and the fixed sensors may amplify errors due to improper distance. Utility Model Content
