Compatible alignment and loading automation devices according to the shape of the object

Abstract

The present invention relates to an automated alignment and loading device compatible with the shape of an object. The automated alignment and loading device compatible with the shape of an object comprises: a main frame; a conveying unit equipped with a sensing unit for detecting an object and conveying the object in the longitudinal and transverse directions on the main frame, respectively; an alignment unit for sequentially aligning and restraining the object being conveyed in the longitudinal direction of the conveying unit; and a control unit for counting the object detected by the sensing unit and, when the number of objects detected corresponds to a preset number, pushing the object out of the alignment unit and releasing the restraint to convey the object in the transverse direction for loading. This allows for sequential alignment of various objects with different shapes and sizes, such as circular, elliptical, and rectangular shapes, without the need for separate device replacement, thereby minimizing equipment investment costs and installation area, which can reduce costs. Additionally, continuous operation is possible by replacing some of the gripping equipment when necessary during loading, which significantly reduces the occurrence of misalignment and misloading, thereby improving production efficiency.
