Design of Industrial Steel Ball Counting Device Based on MCU

The steel ball counter is designed to count a batch of small steel balls and to count a certain number of balls so that they can be bagged separately and reduce the amount of labour. The design and study of the counter mechanism and counting system is mainly focused on the design and realisation of the counter. The counting mechanism is designed using solidworks 3D software and has a dynamic simulation. The processor for the dynamic counting system is STC12C5A60S2, the sensor part is an infrared sensor, the display part is an LCD 12864 liquid crystal display module, the control mechanism is a solenoid valve real-time dynamic control, the human-machine interface control is mainly achieved through the keypad. Through the physical inspection, the designed product counting error is within the permissible range, which is a good solution to the huge error brought by traditional metering and weighing, simple, economic and practical.
