[0037] In this embodiment, during feeding, the flipping motor 4 rotates the flipping shaft 5 clockwise, and the flipping shaft 5 drives the actuating arc frame 71 into the outermost arc groove 83. Then, the first drive motor 6 starts, and the first drive motor 6 drives the first lead screw 61 to rotate. The first lead screw 61 drives the actuating slide 7 to move forward along the first slide rail 62, thereby moving the foremost second inner clamping seat 8 to one side of the conveyor belt 93. Then, the flipping motor 4 rotates in the reverse direction, the actuating arc frame 71 moves out of the arc groove 83, the first drive motor 6 starts in the reverse direction, and the actuating slide 7 moves to the feeding frame module 2 to repeat the above operation.

[0038] Example 2:

[0040] In this embodiment, during processing, when the second inner clamping seat 8 moves to one side of the conveyor belt 93, the unloaded first inner clamping seat 10 moves to that position. At the same time, the electromagnetic seat 103 is energized and magnetizes the second inner clamping seat 8 and the first inner clamping seat 10 together. Then, the first inner clamping seat 10 moves to the front end of the third inner clamping seat 11. The laser emitted by the laser emitter 14 is received by the laser receiver 105. The controller 12 controls the transmission drive motor 9 to stop running, and at the same time, the steering drive motor 85 starts, driving the bearing ring 88 to rotate 90° clockwise. The second drive motor 15 starts, driving the L-shaped positioning plate 161 to move forward along the second slide rail 16 and sequentially insert into the first positioning groove 104 and the second positioning groove 171 to limit the first inner clamping seat 10, the second inner clamping seat 8 and the third inner clamping seat 11, preventing shaking during processing from affecting the quality of the finished product.

[0041] Working principle

[0042] Before using the present invention, several second inner clamping seats 8 are inserted into the feed module 2 along the two sets of feed shafts 21, and then bearing rings 88 are placed on the bearing frame 87 in sequence.

[0043] The starting device is activated, and the flip motor 4 rotates the flip shaft 5 clockwise. The flip shaft 5 drives the actuating arc frame 71 into the outermost arc groove 83. Then, the first drive motor 6 starts and drives the first lead screw 61 to rotate. The first lead screw 61 drives the actuating slide 7 to move forward along the first slide rail 62, thereby moving the foremost second inner clamping seat 8 to the side of the conveyor belt 93. Then, the flip motor 4 rotates in the reverse direction, and the actuating arc frame 71 moves out of the arc groove 83. The first drive motor 6 starts in the reverse direction, and the actuating slide 7 moves to the feed module 2 and repeats the above operation.

[0044] When the second inner clamping seat 8 moves to one side of the conveyor belt 93, the unloaded first inner clamping seat 10 moves to that position. At the same time, the electromagnetic seat 103 is energized and magnetized, attracting the second inner clamping seat 8 and the first inner clamping seat 10 together. Then, the first inner clamping seat 10 moves to the front end of the third inner clamping seat 11. The laser emitted by the laser emitter 14 is received by the laser receiver 105. The controller 12 controls the transmission drive motor 9 to stop running. At the same time, the steering drive motor 85 starts, driving the bearing ring 88 to rotate 90° clockwise. The second drive motor 15 starts, driving the L-shaped positioning plate 161 to move forward along the second slide rail 16 and insert it into the first positioning groove 104 and the second positioning groove 171 in sequence to limit the first inner clamping seat 10, the second inner clamping seat 8 and the third inner clamping seat 11, preventing shaking during processing from affecting the quality of the finished product.

[0045] After processing is completed, the controller 12 controls the transmission drive motor 9 to start running, and at the same time the steering drive motor 85 starts in reverse, driving the bearing ring 88 to rotate 90° counterclockwise to return to its original position. When the first inner clamping seat 10 moves with the second inner clamping seat 8 to insert into the output shaft 181, the electromagnetic seat 103 is de-energized and demagnetized, separating the second inner clamping seat 8 from the first inner clamping seat 10.
