[0029] Specifically, the edge of the rotating disc 3 is provided with a plurality of tabs 31 (seeFigure 5 The sliding seat 4 comprises an upper seat body 43 and a lower seat body 44, and the upper seat body 43 is fixedly connected with the lower seat body 44 through at least two guide rods 45. The guide rods 45 are slidably arranged in the tabs 31. The rollers 41 are arranged on the upper seat body 43. The rotating motor 42 is fixedly connected with the lower seat body 44.

[0030] Specifically, the edge of the rotating disc 3 is provided with 6-20 tabs 31, and each tab 31 is uniformly distributed along the edge of the rotating disc 3.

[0031] Specifically, as shown in Figure 8 , the base is provided with a negative pressure suction seat 51, the negative pressure suction seat 51 is rotatably connected with a vertical air pipe 52, and the vertical air pipe 52 is in communication with the negative pressure. The top of the vertical air pipe 52 is fixedly connected with a connecting disc 53, the connecting disc 53 is located below the rotating disc 3, and the side wall of the connecting disc 53 is provided with a plurality of connecting ports 531, each of which is in communication with the vertical air pipe 52. The connection mode of the negative pressure and the suction disc 421 can refer to the following two embodiments:

[0032] Embodiment 1:

[0033] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , the rotating shaft 422 of each rotating motor 42 is a hollow shaft, and the lower end of each rotating shaft 422 is provided with a suction disc 421. The rotating motor 42 is provided with an air outlet 423, and the air outlet 423 is in communication with the suction disc 421 through the rotating shaft 422 of the rotating motor 42. The air outlet 423 is in communication with the connecting port 531 through a flexible air pipe, so as to realize the connection of the negative pressure and the suction disc 421.

[0034] Embodiment 2:

[0035] As shown in Figure 6 , the suction disc 421 is directly connected with the connecting port 531 through a flexible air pipe, so as to realize the direct connection of the negative pressure and the suction disc 421.

[0036] As shown in Figure 5 , each flexible air pipe is connected with a solenoid valve 6, the base is provided with a control system, and each solenoid valve 6 is connected with the control system. The control system controls whether the suction disc 421 generates suction force by controlling the opening and closing of a specific solenoid valve 6.

[0037] The working process of the orientation adjusting device of the present application is as follows:

[0038] As shown in Figure 6 , the product is input from the input channel 11, and the position of the product 2 on the input channel 11 is a material taking station, and the material taking lower convex section 211 is located above the material taking station. The position of the product 4 on the output channel 12 is a material placing station, and the material placing lower convex section (not shown in the figure, which has the same setting form as the material taking lower convex section 211) is located above the material placing station.

[0039] The conveying speed of the input channel 11 matches the rotating speed of the rotating disc 3:

[0040] Each product passes the above-mentioned taking station (the position of the product 2), and a corresponding suction cup 421 (the sliding seat 4) slightly passes the above-mentioned taking station. Since the taking lower convex segment 211 is located above the taking station, when the roller 41 of the sliding seat 4 enters the taking lower convex segment 211, the taking lower convex segment 211 guides the roller 41 and the sliding seat 4 to move downward together, thereby driving the suction cup 421 to move downward, and then the control system controls the air path of the suction cup 421 to be conducted, and a negative pressure is generated at the suction cup 421 to adsorb the product.

[0041] Then, with the continuous rotation of the rotating disc 3, the roller 41 of the sliding seat 4 leaves the taking lower convex segment 211, so that the roller 41 and the sliding seat 4 (and the adsorbed product) move upward together and continue to revolve with the rotation of the rotating disc 3 until the rotating disc 3 rotates to the above-mentioned discharging station (the position of the product 4). Since the discharging lower convex segment is located above the discharging station, when the roller 41 enters the discharging lower convex segment, the discharging lower convex segment guides the roller 41 and the sliding seat 4 (and the adsorbed product) to move downward together, and then the control system controls the air path of the suction cup 421 to be closed, the negative pressure at the suction cup 421 disappears, and the product adsorbed by the suction cup 421 falls to the above-mentioned discharging station under the action of gravity and is then output by the output channel 12.

[0042] In combination with Figure 7 , Figure 8 , the rotating speed of the vertical air pipe 52 and the connecting disc 53 matches the rotating speed of the rotating disc 3, so that the flexible air pipes are arranged along the radial direction during the rotation of the rotating disc 3.

[0043] The identification of the front and rear side orientations of the product and the product rotation process are as follows:

[0044] An identification device is arranged above the starting position of the input channel 11 (such as the position of the product 1), which is used to identify whether the front and rear side orientations of the product meet the setting. The identification device can be an infrared or image recognition device.

[0045] When the identification device identifies that the front and rear orientations of a product meet the setting: after the product meeting the setting is adsorbed by the suction cup 421 at the subsequent taking station and rotates half a circle with the rotating disc 3 to reach the discharging station to be released, the product meeting the setting only revolves half a circle (the rotating shaft 422 does not rotate), and since the output channel 12 and the input channel 11 are opposite to each other, when the product reaches the output channel 12, the front and rear orientations of the product still meet the setting and are subsequently output by the output channel 12.

[0046] When the recognition device recognizes that the front and back orientations of a product do not conform to the setting, the product that does not conform to the setting is sucked up by the suction disc 421 at the material taking station, and rotates half a circle (revolution) with the rotating disc 3. During the rotation of the rotating disc 3, the self-rotation motor 42 drives the rotating shaft 422 and the product to rotate half a circle (revolution, refer to the product 3 in the figure). That is, after the product that does not conform to the setting rotates half a circle in revolution and half a circle in self-rotation, the product reaches the material placing station and is released to the output channel 12. Since the product that does not conform to the setting rotates half a circle in self-rotation more than the product that conforms to the setting, when the product that does not conform to the setting falls into the output channel 12, the front and back orientations of the product have been adjusted to conform to the setting, and then the product is output by the output channel 12.

[0047] The orientation adjusting device of the present application has a simple and compact overall structure, can efficiently and quickly adjust the front and back orientations of the product, and thus improves the efficiency of product conveying.

[0048] As an alternative embodiment, the guide disc 2 is replaced by a guide ring (not shown in the figure), the guide ring is fixed to the base, the outer side wall of the guide ring is provided with the guide groove 21, and the lower part of the guide ring is provided with the rotating disc 3.

[0049] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Any non-essential changes and replacements made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the present application are within the scope of protection of the present application.
