Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material counting machine technology, specifically to an automatic material counting machine. Background Technology
[0002] The counting machine uses the photoelectric sensing principle and the correspondence between the guide holes on the part carrier tape on the material tray and the parts to accurately determine the number of surface mount devices. It can realize convenient and fast counting, which is especially helpful for the material issuance and dispensing operations in outsourced processing.
[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN111731946A discloses an automatic SMT material counting and dispensing device, including a device housing and a material counting mechanism. The material counting mechanism includes: a material tray mounting assembly, including a rotatable mounting head and a mounting head rotation drive component for driving the mounting head to rotate; a material counting component for counting the quantity of materials; a CCD component, including a CCD detection component located above the material counting component for recording the position of the first material on the material strip, the type and spacing of the material, and the position of the last material; a material strip transfer assembly, including a rotatable transfer disc and a transfer disc rotation drive component for driving the transfer disc to rotate; and a controller. This invention can automatically complete the counting of materials without manual intervention, with fast counting speed, high accuracy, and a high degree of automation; it can also perform material dispensing by setting the quantity of materials, offering rich functionality and meeting the dual needs of material counting and dispensing.
[0004] However, in the above technical solution, the counting of materials can be completed by only the counting component, the conveyor belt transfer component and the CCD component.

However, the material head needs to be inserted into the material head channel for a certain length to achieve the fixing effect. If the material head insertion distance is insufficient or the material outlet is warped, it is difficult to fix it deeply. Utility Model Content

The fixed baffle 12 is connected to one end of the rotating cylinder 14, and the rotating cylinder 14 is detachably connected to the second mounting shaft 17. A receiving groove 5 is provided on the rotating cylinder 14. In the initial state, the receiving groove 5 is flush with the guide channel on the guide plate so that the material head of the material belt can enter the receiving groove 5. The movable baffle 13 is arranged parallel to the fixed baffle 12, and the movable baffle 13 has a through hole that is slidably connected to the rotating cylinder 14. In an optional embodiment, a telescopic device 15 is connected to the rotating cylinder 14, and a connecting frame is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic device 15. One end of the connecting frame is connected to the movable baffle 13. The telescopic device 15 may be, but is not limited to, a hydraulic cylinder.
[0018] Example 2 like Figures 1-3As shown, this utility model proposes an automatic feeding machine. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment describes the detailed structure of the feeding component. The feeding component includes a first driving device 9, a first mounting shaft 10, a storage tray 11, and a guide plate. The first driving device 9 is connected to the mounting plate 2, and the output end of the first driving device 9 is connected to the first mounting shaft 10. The first driving device 9 is a motor. The storage tray 11 is detachably connected to the first mounting shaft 10. The storage tray 11 has multiple slots, which cooperate with the locking blocks 22 on the first mounting shaft 10. The guide plate is connected to the mounting plate 2, and the guide plate has a guide channel. One end of the guide plate is close to the storage tray 11. The outlet of the guide channel on the guide plate is flush with the receiving groove 5 to facilitate the entry of the material belt.
[0019] Example 3 like Figures 3-4 As shown, the present invention proposes an automatic material counting machine. Compared with Embodiment 2, this embodiment describes the detailed structure of the transfer component. The transfer component also includes a second drive device 16 and a second mounting shaft 17. The second drive device 16 is connected to the mounting plate 2, and the output end of the second drive device 16 is connected to the second mounting shaft 17. The second mounting shaft 17 is detachably connected to the rotating cylinder 14. The second drive device 16 may be, but is not limited to, a motor. In an optional embodiment, the movable plate 6 consists of a support plate 20 and a movable plate 21.

The movable plate 21 and the support plate 20 are detachably connected by bolts.
[0020] In summary, when using this utility model, the operator inserts the storage tray 11 to be counted into the first mounting shaft 10 through its through hole. The protrusions and recesses on both work together. Then, the operator manually inserts one end of the material strip into the guide channel in the guide plate. The first drive device 9 starts, causing the first mounting shaft 10 to reverse and release the material. The material strip gradually moves, and its empty portion enters the receiving groove 5, where it is detected by the photoelectric sensor 8. The photoelectric sensor 8 sends a signal to the control component on the machine body 1, causing it to de-energize the magnetic suction assembly and simultaneously activate the second drive device 16. When the magnetic suction assembly is de-energized, the magnetic suction component 18 loses its magnetism, and the previously compressed elastic component 7, without external force, will spring back to its original shape, causing the magnetic attachment 19 and the moving plate 6 to move. The moving plate 6 approaches the side wall of the receiving groove 5 on the other side, and engages with the notch on the material strip through the locking block 22 of the movable plate 21. The movement of the material strip within the receiving groove 5 is restricted. Simultaneously, the output end of the second drive device 16 drives the second mounting shaft 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the transfer tray 4 to rotate and rewind the material strip. During the rewinding process, the SMT components on the material strip enter between the transmitter and receiver of the counting sensor 3, and the two count each other. After the counting is completed, the first drive device 9 can be reversed via the control panel to rewind the counted material strip. The counted quantity can be observed on the display screen of the control panel. When the first drive device 9 is powered on and reversed, the magnetic suction component is also powered on simultaneously and the power supply to the photoelectric sensor 8 is disconnected. The moving plate 6 loses its restriction on the material strip, and the material strip is rewound into the storage tray 11, then waits for the next storage tray 11 to count. When the first drive device 9 is started to rotate, the photoelectric sensor 8 will be powered on again to wait for the detection of the material strip.
[0021] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
