Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle cap counting technology, specifically an automatic counting device for bottle caps. Background Technology
[0002] After the bottle caps are produced, they need to be packed into boxes. However, the quantity in each box has always been estimated by weighing. This counting method results in a difference in the number of caps per kilogram due to the difference in the quality of each cap, which leads to fluctuations in the number of milk bottle caps after packaging. Therefore, an automatic bottle cap counting device is needed.
[0003] There are many types of automatic bottle cap counting devices on the market today, which can basically meet people's needs. However, there are still some shortcomings. In the process of use, the existing automatic bottle cap counting devices are generally difficult to guide and divert bottle caps of different sizes. In addition, when counting bottle caps, the existing devices are prone to local accumulation of bottle caps, which reduces the accuracy of the automatic technology. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic counting device for bottle caps, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the difficulty in limiting bottle caps of different sizes and the tendency of bottle caps to pile up.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic counting device for bottle caps, comprising a base plate, a vertical plate, a flat plate, a first fixing plate, and a second fixing plate. Vertical plates are fixed to both sides of the top of the base plate, and a flat plate is fixed to the top of each vertical plate. Support frames are fixed to both sides of the top of the base plate, and a conveyor frame is mounted on the top of each support frame. A digital display electronic counter body is mounted on one side of the surface of the conveyor frame, and an infrared emitter is mounted on one side of the top of the conveyor frame. A first fixing plate is mounted on one side of the top of the base plate. A receiving end is installed on the surface of the fixed plate. A second fixed plate is fixed to one side of the top of the base plate, and the surface of the second fixed plate is provided with an anti-accumulation structure. A baffle is fixed to one side of the top of the conveyor frame. A main electric push rod is movably installed on one side of the top of the plate, and a connector is installed at the top of the piston rod of the main electric push rod. A rear diverter plate is movably installed on one side of the top of the plate, and one end of the rear diverter plate is fixedly connected to one end of the connector. A control panel is installed on one side of the surface of the conveyor frame, and the output end of the microcontroller inside the control panel is electrically connected to the input end of the main electric push rod.
[0006] Preferably, a front splitter plate is fixed to one side of the bottom end of the flat plate, and two sets of front splitter plates are provided. The front splitter plates are made of aluminum alloy.
[0007] Preferably, tension rollers are rotatably mounted at both ends inside the conveyor frame, and a conveyor belt is wound around the surface of the tension rollers. A motor is mounted on the outer wall of one side of the conveyor frame, and a reducer is mounted on the output end of the motor. The output end of the reducer is connected to one end of the tension roller.
[0008] Preferably, the anti-stacking structure is provided with an auxiliary electric push rod, a guide tube, a guide rod, a support plate and a partition plate in sequence inside.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the automatic counting device for bottle caps not only improves the counting accuracy of the device for bottle caps and meets the function of limiting bottle caps of different specifications and models, thus expanding the working applicability of the device, but also avoids the accumulation of materials and enhances the ease of use of the device.
[0012] (1) By setting up a conveyor belt and an infrared transmitter, the staff can start the motor through the control panel. The power of the motor is transmitted to the tension roller and the conveyor belt through the reducer. When the bottle cap is transported between the infrared transmitter and the receiver, the bottle cap blocks the infrared light of the infrared transmitter. The infrared transmitter outputs a pulse signal to the main body of the digital display electronic counter and triggers the counting circuit. At this time, the digital display electronic counter displays the numbers. Compared with manual weighing, this method greatly improves the counting accuracy of the bottle cap.
[0013] (2) By setting a rear diverter plate and baffle, the piston rod of the main electric push rod pushes the rear diverter plate to flip. At this time, the rear diverter plate can move closer to or away from the baffle. When the gap between the rear diverter plate and the baffle increases, the two can limit the larger bottle caps, so that the bottle caps are on a straight line, which is convenient for subsequent counting and satisfies the function of limiting and diverting bottle caps of different specifications and models.
[0014] (3) By setting up support plates and guide tubes, the auxiliary electric push rod reciprocates to push the support plates and the partition plates to work, that is, the partition plates are used to divide the bottle cap material to avoid the accumulation of material and save the staff from frequently adjusting the position of the bottle cap later.

The workers start motor 13 through control panel 9. The power of motor 13 is transmitted to tensioning roller 15 and conveyor belt 16 through reducer 14. At this time, conveyor belt 16 drives bottle caps to move forward slowly.
[0022] A digital display electronic counter body 6 is installed on one side of the surface of the conveyor frame 5. The model of the digital display electronic counter body 6 can be ZYC11-6H. An infrared transmitter 7 is installed on one side of the top of the conveyor frame 5. A first fixing plate 8 is installed on one side of the top of the base plate 1, and a receiver 12 is installed on the surface of the first fixing plate 8. When the bottle cap is transported between the infrared transmitter 7 and the receiver 12, the bottle cap blocks the infrared light of the infrared transmitter 7. The infrared transmitter 7 outputs a pulse signal to the digital display electronic counter body 6 and triggers the counting circuit. At this time, the digital display electronic counter body 6 displays the numbers.
[0023] By setting up the digital display electronic counter body 6 and the infrared transmitter 7 together, this method greatly improves the counting accuracy of bottle caps compared to manual weighing.
[0024] A second fixing plate 10 is fixed to one side of the top of the base plate 1, and an anti-stacking structure 11 is provided on the surface of the second fixing plate 10. Inside the anti-stacking structure 11, a secondary electric push rod 1101, a guide tube 1102, a guide rod 1103, a support plate 1104, and a partition plate 1105 are arranged in sequence. The secondary electric push rod 1101 is installed on the outer wall of one side of the second fixing plate 10. The model of the secondary electric push rod 1101 can be DT90. The top of the secondary electric push rod 1101 is installed with a support plate 1104. The guide tube 1102 is fixed on the outer wall of the second fixing plate 10 on both sides of the secondary electric push rod 1101. The guide rod 1103 is slidably installed inside the guide tube 1102. The top of the guide rod 1103 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 1104. The guide rod 1103 and the guide tube 1102 guide the movement of the support plate 1104.
[0025] A partition plate 1105 is installed at the center of the top of the support plate 1104. The partition plate 1105 is made of stainless steel. The auxiliary electric push rod 1101 reciprocates to push the support plate 1104 and the partition plate 1105 to work.
[0026] The bottle cap material is divided using the divider 1105 to avoid material accumulation and save staff from frequently adjusting the position of the bottle caps.
[0027] A baffle 501 is fixed on one side of the top of the conveyor frame 5. A main electric push rod 18 is movably installed on one side of the top of the plate 3.

A rear diverter plate 19 is movably installed on one side of the top of the plate 3. One end of the rear diverter plate 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the connector 20. The piston rod of the main electric push rod 18 pushes the rear diverter plate 19 to flip. At this time, the rear diverter plate 19 can move closer to or away from the baffle 501.
[0028] When the gap between the rear diverter plate 19 and the baffle 501 is increased, the two can limit the larger bottle caps, so that the bottle caps are on a straight line, which is convenient for subsequent counting and realizes the function of limiting bottle caps of different specifications and models.
[0029] A control panel 9 is installed on one side of the surface of the conveyor frame 5. The model of the control panel 9 can be FHR-211. The output terminal of the microcontroller inside the control panel 9 is electrically connected to the input terminals of the auxiliary electric push rod 1101, the motor 13 and the main electric push rod 18 respectively.
[0030] In this embodiment, the worker first places the produced bottle caps uniformly on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 16. The worker then starts the motor 13 via the control panel 9. The power of the motor 13 is transmitted to the tension roller 15 and the conveyor belt 16 through the reducer 14. At this time, the conveyor belt 16 drives the bottle caps forward slowly. When the bottle caps are transported between the infrared transmitter 7 and the receiver 12, the bottle caps block the infrared light from the infrared transmitter 7. The infrared transmitter 7 outputs a pulse signal to the digital display electronic counter body 6 and triggers the counting circuit. At this time, the digital display electronic counter body 6 displays the numbers. Compared with manual weighing, this method greatly improves the counting accuracy of the bottle caps. The bottle caps are diverted through the front diverter plate 17 and the rear diverter plate 19. The worker then starts the main electric push rod 18 via the control panel 9. The piston rod pushes the rear diverter plate 19 to flip. At this time, the rear diverter plate 19 can move closer to or away from the baffle 501. When the gap between the rear diverter plate 19 and the baffle 501 increases, the two can limit the larger bottle caps, so that the bottle caps are on a straight line, which is convenient for subsequent counting. This realizes the function of limiting bottle caps of different specifications and models, and improves the working applicability of the device. When the conveyor belt speed is fast or there are many bottle caps, the operator starts the auxiliary electric push rod 1101. The auxiliary electric push rod 1101 reciprocates to push the support plate 1104 and the separator plate 1105 to work. During this process, the guide rod 1103 and the guide tube 1102 guide the movement of the support plate 1104. That is, the separator plate 1105 is used to divide the bottle cap material to avoid the accumulation of material. This saves the operator from frequently adjusting the position of the bottle caps and enhances the ease of use of the device.
