Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workpiece counting technology, and specifically to a workpiece sorting and counting device. Background Technology

[0002] During final inspection and sorting, some workpieces require multiple consecutive loading of the same quantity into different transfer boxes. If relying solely on manual counting, errors can easily occur over time. One possibility is that too many or too few workpieces may be loaded into the transfer boxes, and another is that the quantity of each transfer box may be over- or under-counted. This can lead to chaos in production management.

[0003] Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN202421426336X discloses a workpiece sorting and counting device, including a worktable, a flipping mechanism, and a counter. The flipping mechanism includes a tray, a support, a rotating shaft, bearing seats, a cylinder, a flipping switch, and a support platform. The upper part of the support is fixedly connected to the tray, and the lower part of the support is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. Two bearing seats and a cylinder are fixedly installed on the support platform. The two bearing seats are movably connected to both ends of the rotating shaft. The push rod of the cylinder is movably connected to one end of the tray. The flipping switch controls the extension and retraction of the cylinder. Under the extension and retraction of the cylinder, the tray can be in a horizontal state or flipped to one end. The inner end of the tray is adjacent to one end of the worktable. When the tray is in a horizontal state, the height of the tray is equal to the height of the worktable. The lower part of the outer end of the tray is used to place a transfer box. The counter automatically counts once each time the flipping mechanism completes a flipping action, thereby avoiding counting errors during workpiece sorting. However, this device has the following shortcomings: one is that it cannot guarantee that the number of workpieces in the tray is accurate every time; the other is that when a transfer box is full of the rated number of workpieces, the operator may not always notice and replace the transfer box in time. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing an automatic counting device for workpiece sorting with monitoring and reminder functions.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an automatic workpiece sorting and counting device, including a worktable, a movable tray, a camera, a counter, and a switch; the inner end of the movable tray is adjacent to one end of the worktable, and the movable tray can be flipped outward and downward relative to the worktable under the action of a drive mechanism. The extension and retraction of the drive mechanism is controlled by the switch, and a transfer box is placed below the outer end of the movable tray; the camera and the switch are both electrically connected to the counter, and an alarm mechanism is provided on the counter; the camera is located above the movable tray and is used to monitor the number of workpieces in the movable tray. When the camera detects that the number of workpieces in the movable tray is more or less than the rated number, the alarm mechanism will sound an alarm; pressing the switch can cause the movable tray to flip downward or return to the horizontal position under the action of the drive mechanism, and the counter will automatically count. When the number of flips of the movable tray reaches the rated number, the alarm mechanism will sound an alarm.

[0006] The method of using the above device is as follows: 1) Arrange a certain number of workpieces neatly on the workbench; 2) Push the workpieces into the movable tray by hand. If the camera detects that the number of workpieces in the movable tray is more or less than the rated number, the alarm mechanism will sound an alarm; 3) Press the switch, and the movable tray will flip outward and downward under the action of the drive mechanism. The workpieces in the movable tray will fall into the transfer box under the action of gravity, and the counter will count automatically; 4) Press the switch again to make the cylinder drive the tray back to the horizontal state; 5) When the number of times the movable tray flips reaches the rated number, the alarm mechanism will sound an alarm. At this time, the number of workpieces in the transfer box has just reached the rated number, and an empty transfer box needs to be used to replace it.

[0007] In one embodiment, the alarm mechanism includes a first alarm light and a second alarm light. The first alarm light is used to provide an alarm reminder for the count of workpieces on the movable tray, and the second alarm light is used to provide an alarm reminder for the count of the number of times the movable tray is flipped.

[0008] Furthermore, the counter is equipped with a counting display screen.

[0009] Furthermore, the workbench is equipped with a standard line for the number of workpieces.

[0010] In one embodiment, the lower surface of the movable tray is mounted on a rotating shaft via a bracket. The rotating shaft is mounted on a support platform via a bearing seat. One end of the drive mechanism is connected to the support platform, and the other end is movably connected to the movable tray.

[0011] In one embodiment, the movable tray consists of a chute structure composed of a base plate, an inner baffle, and an outer baffle.

[0012] In one embodiment, the inner baffle is of equal length to the base plate, while the outer baffle is shorter than the base plate, creating a gap between the outer baffle and the worktable.

[0013] The device provided by this utility model has the advantages of simple and ingenious structure and convenient operation, and has a monitoring and reminder function, which can avoid errors in counting during workpiece sorting. Attached Figure Description
