Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anti-counterfeiting label counting technology, and more specifically, to a photoelectric counter for producing anti-counterfeiting labels. Background Technology
[0002] The counting of anti-counterfeiting labels plays a crucial role in many stages of product production, sales, and management. From a production perspective, accurate counting ensures a precise match between production quantities and order demands, preventing delays in packaging and delivery due to insufficient label quantity; it also prevents resource waste and potential anti-counterfeiting risks caused by overproduction of labels. In the sales stage, counting anti-counterfeiting labels allows for a clear understanding of the flow of different batches of products. In the event of market problems, the counting information enables rapid traceability and precise identification of the sales scope of problematic products. At the enterprise management level, counting data is an important basis for evaluating production efficiency, monitoring inventory levels, and formulating marketing strategies.
[0003] A photoelectric counter is a widely used device in industrial production and logistics counting. It utilizes the principle of photoelectric sensing to count items. During operation, a single transmitter emits light. When an item passes through the light's path, blocking the light, the receiver generates a change in electrical signal due to the change in light intensity, and the counter records a count. This counting method operates efficiently and quickly in most conventional scenarios, enabling non-contact counting with minimal disruption to the production process. However, it has a drawback: it is prone to overcounting. In complex industrial environments, dust, moisture, and other impurities may temporarily block the light, causing the counter to misinterpret the passage of items and thus overcount.
[0004] How to design a photoelectric counter for producing anti-counterfeiting labels to improve these problems has become an urgent issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a photoelectric counter for producing anti-counterfeiting labels, aiming to improve the problems mentioned in the background.

[0024] Example, refer to Figures 1-6 A photoelectric counter for producing anti-counterfeiting labels includes a base 1, a plurality of uprights 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a support beam 3 fixedly connected between the plurality of uprights 2, a label 20 disposed on the inner side of the support beam 3, a counter housing 4 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support beam 3, a threaded shaft 5 rotatably connected to the counter housing 4, a slide groove disposed on the inner side of the counter housing 4, a slider 7 slidably connected inside the slide groove, the slider 7 engaging with the threaded shaft 5, a first counting end 8 installed at the bottom of the slider 7, a second counting end 9 installed on the inner side of the counter housing 4, the second counting end 9 fixedly connected to the counter housing 4, a support platform 10 fixedly connected to the bottom of the counter housing 4, an actuation component disposed on the inner side of the support platform 10, a transmission component installed on the support beam 3, and a knob 6 fixedly connected to the end of the threaded shaft 5, the knob 6 being located on the outer side of the counter housing 4.
[0025] The triggering component includes a movable plate 11 slidably disposed inside the support platform 10. A wiping cloth 12 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 11. A first notch 13 and a second notch 14 are provided on the movable plate 11 and the wiping cloth 12. A baffle 15 is provided on the counter housing 4. A plurality of tension springs 16 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the baffle 15. The ends of the plurality of tension springs 16 are fixedly connected to the movable plate 11. A first contact 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate 11. A second contact 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the baffle 15. The first contact 17 and the second contact 18 are in contact. A pusher 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable plate 11. The position of the first notch 13 is related to the first... The counting end 8 corresponds to the position of the second notch 14 and the second counting end 9. The first contact 17 and the second contact 18 are located between multiple tension springs 16. The transmission assembly includes a set of rotating shafts 22 rotatably connected to the upright 2. A soft sleeve 23 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 22. A motor 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upright 2. The output shaft of the motor 24 is fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts 22. The first contact 17 and the second contact 18 are connected in series with the power line of the motor 24. The rotating shaft 22 is located inside the support beam 3. A channel 21 is provided on the support beam 3. The label 20 is located inside the channel 21. The corresponding soft sleeve 23 is used to press the label 20.
[0026] The working principle of this photoelectric counter for producing anti-counterfeiting labels is as follows: When labels 20 are produced sequentially, the motor 24 is started. The output shaft of the motor 24 rotates, driving the rotating shaft 22 and the soft sleeve 23 to rotate. The soft sleeve 23 uses friction to bring the label 20 from one side of the support beam 3 to one side of the counter. When the label 20 simultaneously blocks the light emitted by the first counting end 8 and the second counting end 9, the photoelectric counter records one time. This effectively prevents the problem of multiple counts that occur when the light is emitted by only a single emitting end in the existing technology is blocked by foreign objects. By rotating the knob 6, the threaded shaft 5 is rotated, which causes the slider 7 and the first counting end 8 to move in the length direction of the threaded shaft 5. The distance between the first counting end 8 and the second counting end 9 can be adjusted to accommodate labels 20 of different sizes.
[0027] By pressing the pusher 19 against the inside of the counter housing 4, the first contact 17 and the second contact 18 are separated, the power supply to the motor 24 is cut off, the label 20 is stopped from being conveyed, and then the moving plate 11 and the wiping cloth 12 are driven to wipe the first counting end 8 and the second counting end 9 to prevent dust from accumulating on the two counting ends and causing inaccurate counting. By setting the first notch 13 and the second notch 14, the two counting ends are prevented from being blocked at the same time, thus maintaining the accuracy of counting.
[0028] It should be noted that the specific model and specifications of the motor need to be selected and determined based on the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
