20170283178 · 2017-10-05 ·

A feeding apparatus for supplying electronic devices for pick-up comprises a guide track for guiding and feeding a plurality of electronic devices and a separator operative to receive electronic devices from the guide track for the electronic devices to be picked up from the separator. A protrusion is located on either of the guide track or the separator, and a cavity is located on the other of the guide track or the separator for receiving the protrusion. The protrusion and the cavity cooperate to form a substantially continuous surface for transferring the electronic devices to the separator.

Method and apparatus for counting and aggregating a pre-determined number of articles

A method for counting and aggregating a pre-determined number of articles includes: driving, by a conveyor, an article stream to move to an end of the conveyor in a single layer state; conveying the article stream in a periodic motion; after the articles in the article stream leave the conveyor, accurately counting the number of the articles; and when a total number of articles in a combination of temporary storage bin is the same as a target number, transporting all articles in the combination of temporary storage bin to a storage device. Article batches are separately delivered to different temporary storage bins, and the total number of articles in temporary storage bins in different combinations is calculated, so as to obtain with a combination in which the number of articles is the same as the target number. The operation efficiency is improved and the manufacturing cost of device is reduced.
