[0002] In the sheet metal painting line, sheet metal parts of different shapes and specifications need to be grasped and painted, but the shapes of sheet metal parts vary greatly, such as regular-shaped flat plates and L-shaped sheet metal parts, and irregular-shaped U-shaped sheet metal parts; in the sheet metal painting line, the positions of the sheet metal hook holes are visually inspected, and then the corresponding grasping is performed through the grasping device; at this stage, visual positioning of sheet metal parts of different shapes is required. For example, the irregular-shaped U-shaped sheet metal parts need to be equipped with a visual positioning device different from the regular-shaped flat plates and L-shaped sheet metal parts, which seriously wastes production resources. At the same time, the versatility of the equipment is low and cannot meet the needs of efficient production.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a universal visual positioning device for upper and lower parts of a sheet metal painting line to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention
