초록 ▼

A singulating disc, carried by a housing, has a plurality of openings around its periphery. The disc rotates vertically through a pickup chamber of a hopper carried by the housing. A vacuum is pulled through the openings by a pump which is connected to the disc. Items are placed in the hopper and, via gravity, fall to the bottom of the hopper where they contact the periphery of the rotating disc. The vacuum at the openings attaches an item and holds it while the disc rotates. At the top of the disc's rotation, a diverter directs the item into a path depending on the results of a fragment detection and/or counting mechanism. Items that are allowed to pass by the diverter are scraped off the disc into another path by a scraper. Negative pressure is used to singulate and count a multitude of sizes and shapes of items with no calibration. Retractable paddles, a vacuum management system, and RFID tags may be incorporated. The paddles aid in the pickup and agitation of the items while the vacuum management system conserves the vacuum capacity necessary to pickup and singulate items. The RFID tags may contain information such as the number of items left in the hopper, a par level for that item, an expiration date, among others. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.

What is claimed is: 1. A singulating device, comprising:a housing;a removable hopper defining a pickup chamber, said hopper being connectable to said housing;an RFID tag carried by said hopper;an RFID tag reader carried by said housing;a rotatable singulating disc carried by said housing, said disc having a plurality of openings around the periphery thereto, a portion of said disc rotating through said pickup chamber;a source of rotary motion coupled to said singulating disc;a vacuum source coupled to said singulating disc;a counting device; andmeans responsive to said counting device for removing items from said singulating disc;wherein said singulating disc includes a hollow disc having a plurality of retractable paddles extendable from said periphery, each of said paddles having an actuating device extending through an opening in a face of said singulating disc, and a cam positioned to interface with each of said actuating devices during a portion of rotation of said singulating disc such that each of said devices moves along said opening in a first direction to cause its respective paddle to extend beyond said periphery, and to move along said opening in a second direction opposite to said first direction to cause said paddle to retract as said device rides along said cam.
