[0055] Reference Figure 2 An assembly station, a lettering station, and a detection station are sequentially arranged on the feeding guide rail 173 along its conveying direction. A positioning sensing point 1611 is arranged on the rear side of the rear substrate 161.

[0062] Among them, a circulating guide rail 1941 extending along the Y-axis direction is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the receiving base 194, and an X-direction driver 1911 for driving the sliding base 193 to slide back and forth along the X-guide rod 191 is provided at one end of the X-guide rod 191. A left end position sensor 195 and a right end position sensor 196 located upstream and downstream thereof are provided on the side of the circulating guide rail 1941, and the circulating guide rail 1941 is periodically connected to the feeding guide rail 173 or the return guide rail 172.

When the left end position sensor 195 and the right end position sensor 196 sense that the left positioning end 165 and the right positioning end 166 are in place, the X-direction driver 1911 pushes the sliding base 193 from one end of the X-guide rod 191 to the other end, so that the turnover guide rail 1941 is replaced by connecting with the feeding guide rail 173 instead of connecting with the return guide rail 172, or replaced by connecting with the return guide rail 172 instead of connecting with the feeding guide rail 173.

[0065] Furthermore, a limiting rod 1931 corresponding to the limiting groove is provided on the sliding base 193. The limiting rod 1931 starts vertically upward from the sliding base 193, passes through the receiving base 194 and continues to protrude upward.

[0068] Working principle: Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2Initially, the turnover guide rails 1941 in the jig turnover assembly 19 at the upstream and downstream are both located at the rear end of the X guide rod 191, so that the turnover guide rails 1941 are both connected to the feeding guide rails 173. At this time, the jig assembly 16 is located on the turnover guide rail 1941 at the upstream; when the souvenirs are placed on the jig assembly 16, the jig assembly 16 is driven by the two-way driver 171 along the direction Y to pass through the assembly station, the lettering station, and the inspection station in sequence, and is positioned at the assembly station, the lettering station, and the inspection station and completes the assembly, lettering, inspection and other processes in sequence, and is finally transmitted to the turnover guide rail 1941 at the downstream. The souvenirs on the jig assembly 16 are finally sorted and boxed on the turnover guide rail 1941 at the downstream; after the sorting and boxing are completed, the upstream and downstream The turnover guide rails 1941 are all driven to the front end of the X guide rod 191, so that the turnover guide rails 1941 at the upstream and downstream are connected to the return guide rail 172. At this time, the fixture assembly 16 on the downstream turnover guide rail 1941 is also driven to the front end of the X guide rod 191 along with the turnover guide rail 1941. The fixture assembly 16 is then driven by the two-way driver 171 along the reverse direction of Y from the rear end of the return guide rail 172 to the front end, and is finally transferred to the upstream turnover guide rail 1941. Then, the downstream turnover guide rail 1941 returns to the rear end of the X guide rod 191; the fixture assembly 16 on the upstream turnover guide rail 1941 is driven by the two-way driver 171 to the rear end of the X guide rod 191; and this reciprocating cycle is performed until all souvenir packaging instructions are completed.
