The full-loaded tray lifting mechanism 2 and the empty-loaded tray lifting mechanism 3 are installed under the table top of the machine platform 1, and a plurality of through holes for passing the tray are provided on the table top. The product and tray conveying mechanism 4, a product orientation detection mechanism 1 5, a product orientation detection mechanism 2 6, a product moving mechanism 7, and a product rotating discharging mechanism 8 are installed on the table top of the machine platform 1.

[0022] The fully loaded plate lifting mechanism 2 and the empty plate lifting mechanism 3 are both composed of a screw mechanism and a lifting platform. The screw mechanism is composed of a screw, a ball nut, a slide seat, and a motor. The screw is rotatably connected to the machine platform 1. The screw is threaded with a ball nut, the ball nut is fixed on the slide seat, and the slide seat is slidably connected to the machine platform 1.

[0023] The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and the rotating lead screw drives the ball nut and the slide to move up and down.

[0024] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the product and carrier transport mechanism 4 is composed of an X-axis horizontal linear module 41, a Y-axis horizontal linear module 42, a cylinder clamp 43, a clamp lifting cylinder 44, a suction cup 45, and a suction cup lifting cylinder 46. The cylinder body of the X-axis horizontal linear module 41 is fixed on the machine table 1, the cylinder body of the Y-axis horizontal linear module 42 is fixed on the slide seat of the X-axis horizontal linear module 41, the clamp lifting cylinder 44 is fixed on the slide seat of the Y-axis horizontal linear module 42, the cylinder clamp 43 is fixed on the piston rod of the clamp lifting cylinder 44, the suction cup lifting cylinder 46 is fixed on the cylinder body of the Y-axis horizontal linear module 42, and the suction cup 45 is fixed on the piston rod of the suction cup lifting cylinder 46.

[0025] The product and tray transport mechanism 4 works as follows: the X-axis horizontal linear module 41 can drive the cylinder clamp 43 and the suction cup 45 to move horizontally and linearly. The Y-axis horizontal linear module 42 can drive the cylinder clamp 43 to move forward and backward linearly. The clamp lifting cylinder 44 can drive the cylinder clamp 43 to move up and down. The suction cup lifting cylinder 46 can drive the suction cup 45 to move up and down.

[0026] As attached Figure 3As shown, the product orientation detection mechanism 5 is composed of a product fixture 51, a fixture rotating motor 52, a U-shaped detection head 53, a proximity sensor 54, and a detection head lifting cylinder 55. The product fixture 51 is fixed on the output shaft of the fixture rotating motor 52. The product fixture 51 is provided with a plurality of detection positioning grooves, which are composed of two card slots and a through slot. The through slot is located between the two card slots. The cylinder body of the detection head lifting cylinder 55 and the proximity sensor 54 are fixed to the machine 1 through a connecting plate. The U-shaped detection head 53 is fixed on the piston rod of the detection head lifting cylinder 55, which is used to cooperate with the induction sheet of the proximity sensor 54 to be fixed together with the U-shaped detection head 53. The width of the U-shaped groove of the U-shaped detection head 53 is smaller than the cylindrical diameter of the product, and the width of the U-shaped groove of the U-shaped detection head 53 is larger than the diameter of the product spline.

[0027] The working mode of the product orientation detection mechanism 5 is that the ends of the columnar product are respectively embedded in the two card slots of the detection positioning slot of the product fixture 51, and the columnar product is located in the through slot of the detection positioning slot. The fixture rotation motor 52 can drive the product fixture 51 and the columnar product to rotate to different workstations. The detection head lifting cylinder 55 drives the U-shaped detection head 53 to move the product below, and the U-shaped detection head 53 will be inserted into the through slot of the detection positioning slot. If the end with splines is not in the detection position, the column of the product cannot penetrate the U-shaped slot of the U-shaped detection head 53, so the downward stroke of the U-shaped detection head 53 is not in place, and the induction sheet cannot be separated from the proximity sensor 54 at this time, and the product orientation is judged to be wrong. If the end with splines of the U-shaped detection head 53 is in the detection position, the spline part will be inserted into the U-shaped slot of the U-shaped detection head 53, so that the stroke of the U-shaped detection head 53 is sufficient, and the induction sheet will be separated from the proximity sensor 54, so that the product orientation can be judged to be correct.

[0028] As attached Figure 4 As shown, the product orientation detection mechanism 6 is composed of a product fixture 61, a fixture rotating motor 62, and a CCD camera 63. The output shaft of the fixture rotating motor 62 is fixed on the product fixture 61. The product fixture 61 is provided with several detection positioning grooves, which are composed of two card slots and a through slot. The through slot is located between the two card slots. The CCD camera 63 is fixed on the machine 1.

[0029] The working mode of the product orientation detection mechanism 2 6 is to place the product in the detection positioning groove of the product fixture 2 61, and the CCD camera 63 transmits the product image in the detection positioning groove to the control machine, and the control machine determines whether the product orientation is correct.

[0030] The product moving mechanism 7 is composed of a second jaw, a second jaw horizontal driving cylinder, and a second jaw lifting cylinder. The cylinder body of the second jaw horizontal driving cylinder is fixed on the machine platform 1, the second jaw lifting cylinder is fixed on the piston rod of the second jaw horizontal driving cylinder, and the second jaw is fixed on the piston rod of the second jaw lifting cylinder.

[0031] The horizontal driving cylinder of the second gripper can drive the second gripper to move horizontally, and the lifting cylinder of the second gripper can drive the second gripper to move up and down.

[0032] The product rotating discharge mechanism 8 is composed of a clamping jaw three 81, a clamping jaw three horizontal driving cylinder 82, a clamping jaw three lifting cylinder 83, a rotating cylinder 84, a carrier plate 85, and a carrier plate horizontal linear module 86. The cylinder body of the clamping jaw three horizontal driving cylinder 82 and the cylinder body of the carrier plate horizontal linear module 86 are both fixed on the machine platform 1, the piston rod of the clamping jaw three horizontal driving cylinder 82 is fixed on the cylinder body of the clamping jaw three lifting cylinder 83, the piston rod of the clamping jaw three lifting cylinder 83 is fixed on the cylinder body of the rotating cylinder 84, the output shaft of the rotating cylinder 84 is fixed on the clamping jaw three 81, and the carrier plate 85 is fixed on the slide seat of the carrier plate horizontal linear module 86, and the carrier plate 85 is provided with a slot for placing the product.

[0033] The product rotating discharging mechanism 8 works as follows: the horizontal driving cylinder 82 of the clamping jaw 3 can drive the clamping jaw 3 81 to move horizontally, the lifting cylinder 83 of the clamping jaw 3 can drive the clamping jaw 3 81 to move up and down, and the rotating cylinder 84 can drive the clamping jaw 3 81 to rotate. The clamping jaw 3 81 grabs the horizontal product and then rotates 90 degrees to make the product vertical. Then the vertical product is inserted into the slot of the carrier plate 85, and finally the carrier plate horizontal linear module 86 drives the carrier plate 85 loaded with the product to move horizontally.

[0034] The working method of the present application is as follows: first, a stack of trays filled with products is placed on the full tray lifting mechanism 2, and the full tray lifting mechanism 2 moves the tray upward and passes through the perforations of the table top. Then, the cylinder clamp 43 of the product and tray transport mechanism 4 takes out the products on the tray and places them in the product fixture 51 of the product orientation detection mechanism 5. When all the products on the tray are taken away, the suction cup 45 of the tray transport mechanism 4 sucks the empty tray, and then the empty tray is placed on the empty tray lifting mechanism 3 and lowered out of the tray.

[0035] After the product orientation is detected on the product orientation detection mechanism 1 5, the product moving mechanism 7 moves the product from the product orientation detection mechanism 1 5 to the product orientation detection mechanism 2 6, and the product orientation detection mechanism 2 6 detects the product orientation again. After the detection is completed, the product rotating discharge mechanism 8 rotates the product to a vertical state and then discharges it.
