[0037] The alignment conveyor 20 is a belt conveyor.

[0038] Embodiment 1: The staff pours the injection-molded lighter casing into the storage box 1. Since the inner bottom surface of the storage box 1 is an inclined surface, the casing is concentrated in the lifting groove 6 under the action of gravity, and the casing in the lifting groove 6 is continuously conveyed upward by the lifting conveyor 2. The casing is output from the discharge end of the lifting conveyor 2, enters the connecting box 8, and then falls on the inclined guide plate 9. After being guided by the inclined guide plate 9, it falls into the horizontal conveyor 3 under the action of gravity. When the casing falls, it is diverted by the dividing plate 10 so that the casing enters a pair of dividing conveyors evenly. When the casing is conveyed on the pair of dividing conveyors, the dust or impurities on the casing are horizontally brushed by the bristles of the roller brush conveyor 4, and the dust or impurities on the casing are longitudinally brushed by the cleaning brush roller 5. After cleaning, the casing is sent to the discharge end by the horizontal conveyor 3, and the casing is adsorbed and grasped by the adsorption and grasping device located above the horizontal conveyor 3 and then rotated to a specified angle so that the casing becomes vertical and enters the upper braces station. The excess casings sent by the horizontal conveyor 3 fall into the return material collection box 13 from the discharge end of the horizontal conveyor 3, and then fall into the feed port of the return material conveyor 11 under the action of gravity. The return material conveyor 11 sends the casing to the return material chute 12, and then falls into the lifting trough 6 after being guided by the return material chute 12, and is transported upward again through the lifting conveyor 2, so that the casing can be circulated and transported.

[0039] After the casing delivered by the horizontal conveyor 3 is preliminarily arranged, the casing of the lighter is conveyed to the bottom of the lifting suction cup mechanism 22 by the horizontal conveyor 3, the horizontal slide 23 drives the vertical slide 24 to move above the casing, the vertical slide 24 drives the steering motor 25 to descend, and the casing is sucked by the vacuum suction cup 26, and then the vertical slide 24 is raised and reset, the steering motor 25 drives the casing to rotate a specified angle, so that the casing is parallel to the horizontal conveyor 3, the horizontal slide 23 drives the casing to move above the feeding end of the arrangement conveyor 20, the vertical slide 24 drives the casing to descend, the vacuum suction cup 26 contacts and adsorbs, so that the casing falls on the arrangement conveyor 20, and a pair of lifting suction cup mechanisms 22 can grab the casing at the same time, and place a pair of casings on the arrangement conveyor 20. The casing entering the arrangement conveyor 20 is limited in conveying height by the height limit rod 27, so that the casing is arranged in sequence and sent to the upper brace station by the arrangement conveyor 20.

[0040] When the delivered casings are arranged in a disorderly manner, the existing visual inspection system is used in the transfer device, which can make the lifting suction cup mechanism 22 more accurate in grabbing the casings. The visual inspection system is composed of an industrial control computer 200, a pair of industrial cameras 201, an image acquisition card and an execution control mechanism. The industrial camera 201 takes pictures of the casings on the conveying surface of the horizontal conveyor 3, and the pictures are stored in the image acquisition card and then sent to the industrial control computer 200. Only the display screen of the industrial control computer 200 is drawn in the attached figure. The industrial control computer 200 identifies the state of the casing according to the photographed picture, and then controls the grabbing position of the lifting suction cup mechanism 22 through the execution control mechanism. After grabbing the casing, the rotation angle of the steering motor 25 is controlled according to the casing offset angle to make the casing parallel to the horizontal conveyor 3, and then the casing is placed on the arrangement conveyor 20 for transportation.
