Automatic counting machine for beverage bottle caps

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic counting machine for beverage bottle caps. The automatic counting machine comprises a bottle cap feeding device equipped with a feeding track, wherein, an outlet of the feeding track is equipped with a magnetic separation conveyor for separately conveying single bottle caps; an outlet of the magnetic separation conveyor is connected with a blanking track which is bent downward; and a counter is arranged on the blanking track. The automatic counting machine has the advantages of simple structure and high counting efficiency and is simple and convenient to operate; the magnetic separation conveyor can effectively and accurately convey single bottle caps in a separate manner; and the automatic counting machine can be used for counting new non-deformed bottle caps and recovered old bottle caps which are irregularly deformed and are attached with aluminum caps, tinfoil and other sundries. Therefore, the automatic counting machine also has the advantages of wide application range and high accuracy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a bottle cap counting machine, in particular to an automatic iron bottle cap counting machine for soft drinks, beer and other beverages. Background technique [0002] At present, the traditional methods of counting iron beverage bottle caps mostly rely on backward manual counting methods, or by manual counting one by one, or by manual weighing to obtain approximate statistics. The above-mentioned manual counting one by one is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is easily affected by human factors and has a low accuracy rate; while the method of using manual scales is to obtain approximate statistics by dividing the total weight by the weight of a single bottle cap, rather than the exact number, which is different from the actual Quantities often vary widely. Manufacturers of soda and beer beverages need to count a large number of recycled prized bottle caps and redeem them for rewards to customers every year due to promoti...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The above-mentioned manual counting one by one is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is easily affected by human factors and has a low accuracy rate; while the method of using manual scales is to obtain approximate statistics by dividing the total weight by the weight of a single bottle cap, rather than the exact number, which is different from the actual Quantities often vary greatly

Manufacturers of soda and beer beverages need to count a large number of recycled prized bottle caps and redeem them for rewards to customers every year due to promotions. Due to the large number of bottle caps and the deformation of the bottle caps that have been opened, the standard size of the bottle caps is different, and it is done manually. The processing is labor-intensive, and the accuracy is easily affected by human factors, so it is easy to cause many unnecessary business disputes and troubles

[0003] In order to overcome the problem of low efficiency in the manual counting method, people have developed an automatic bottle cap counting machine, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of bottle cap counting. The existing common bottle cap counting machines are generally composed of a blanking device and an electronic induction counter. However, its structure is complex and bulky, and because it cannot accurately separate and count individual bottle caps, its accuracy rate is not high. The bottle caps are counted, but the recycled old bottle caps that have been deformed cannot be counted. The reason is that because the new bottle caps have not been used, their external shapes are regular and consistent, and there are relatively few factors considered in the design of machinery. The structure is relatively easy, but the recycled old bottle caps will be irregularly deformed because they have been used, and the external dimensions are different. The diameter range is roughly Φ28mm~Φ33mm, and most of the old beer bottle caps will have aluminum caps Tin foil and other sundries make counting more difficult

Due to the limitations of the structural design, the existing automatic bottle cap counting machine cannot effectively blank the deformed bottle caps, or miscount the deformed bottle caps and aluminum cap tinfoil and other sundries, which may easily cause omission or Overcounting

Therefore, the existing automatic bottle cap counting machine cannot be applicable to the counting statistics of old bottle caps
