[0051] Refer to Figures 1 to 19, the design principle of the present invention is as follows: The feeding section 1 conveys the steel shells and sends them to the first manipulator 5 in rows. The first magnetic adsorption gripper of the first manipulator 5 simultaneously grabs eight steel shells onto the first carrier 62 of the code scanning and R-angle detection component 6. Then, the first clamping plates 632 of the two first clamping mechanisms of the first positioning component 63 clamp and position the steel shells on the first carrier 62. After the clamping and positioning are completed, the first clamping plates 632 of the first positioning component 63 are loosened again. At the same time, the first rollers 623 on the first carrier 62 rotate, making the steel shells in a rotating state; A QR two-dimensional code is printed on the outer circumference of each steel shell. The code scanning camera 66 scans the steel shells to mark the identity of the steel shells. The first 3D camera 65 detects and takes pictures of the R-angle at the bottom of the steel shells. The first camera 64 takes pictures and detects the appearance and burrs of the opening at the top of the steel shells. When the code scanning camera 66, the first 3D camera 65, and the first camera 64 are working, the first carrier 62 gradually moves to the right at a distance of one steel shell. After all the steel shells on the first carrier 62 are detected, the second magnetic adsorption gripper of the first material transfer gripper assembly 7 simultaneously grabs the eight steel shells on the first carrier 62 onto the second carrier 82, and the first carrier 62 is reset. The first clamping plates 632 of the two first clamping mechanisms of the second positioning component 83 clamp and position the steel shells on the second carrier 82. After the clamping and positioning are completed, the first clamping plates 632 of the second positioning component 83 are loosened again. At the same time, the first rollers 623 on the second carrier 82 rotate, making the steel shells in a rotating state; The second camera 84 takes pictures and detects the appearance of the outer cylindrical surface of the steel shells. When the second camera 84 is working, the second carrier 82 gradually moves to the right at a distance of one steel shell. After all the steel shells on the second carrier 82 are detected, the third magnetic adsorption gripper of the second material transfer gripper assembly 9 grabs the eight steel shells on the second carrier 82 onto the third carrier 103, and the second carrier 82 is reset. The second clamping plates 1042 of the two second clamping mechanisms of the third positioning component 104 clamp and position the steel shells on the third carrier 103. After the clamping and positioning are completed, the second clamping plates 1042 of the third positioning component 104 are loosened again. At the same time, the second rollers 1033 on the third carrier 103 rotate, making the steel shells in a rotating state; The six third cameras 106 take pictures and detect the height and diameter of the steel shells. When the six third cameras 106 are working, the third carrier 103 gradually moves to the right at a distance of one steel shell. After all the steel shells on the third carrier 103 are detected, the second magnetic adsorption gripper of the third material transfer gripper assembly 12 simultaneously grabs the eight steel shells on the third carrier 103 onto the fourth carrier 112, and the third carrier 103 is reset.The third clamping plates 1132 of the two third clamping mechanisms of the fourth positioning component 113 clamp and position the steel shells on the fourth carrier 112. After the clamping and positioning are completed, the third clamping plates 1132 of the fourth positioning component 113 are loosened again. The fourth carrier 112 moves to the left so that the four-point laser sensors 116 are aligned with the four steel shells, and then the point laser sensors 116 extend into the corresponding steel shells. The second 3D camera 118 moves to the left to perform line scanning and photographing on the bottom of the steel shells. The cooperation of the point laser sensors 116 and the second 3D camera 118 can detect the internal dimensions of the steel shells, such as the bottom wall thickness, side wall thickness, middle diameter, middle hole step height, middle hole step width, etc. When the detection of the four steel shells is completed, the point laser sensors 116 and the second 3D camera 118 are reset to prepare for the detection of the internal dimensions of the next group of four steel shells. After all the steel shells on the fourth carrier 112 are detected, the third magnetic gripper of the fourth material transfer gripper assembly 13 simultaneously grabs the eight steel shells on the fourth carrier 112 onto the first support block 146 on the second conveyor frame 141. The conveyor chain conveys the steel shells from the left end to the right end. During the conveying process, the sixth camera 1431 takes a photo and detects the height of the internal pole of the steel shell, the seventh camera 1432 takes a photo and detects the appearance of the inner wall of the steel shell, the eighth camera 1433 takes a photo and detects the appearance of the inner bottom surface of the steel shell, the ninth camera 1441 takes a photo and detects the appearance of the outer end surface of the bottom of the steel shell, and the tenth camera 1442 takes a photo and detects the diameter of the outer end surface of the bottom of the steel shell. When the sixth camera 1431, the seventh camera 1432, the eighth camera 1433, the ninth camera 1441, and the tenth camera 1442 take photos, the conveyor chain pauses conveying. Thus, the detection of all items of each steel shell is completed. Steel shells without QR codes are grabbed by the fourth magnetic gripper of the waste kicking and material transfer gripper 15 arranged on the left onto the corresponding third support block 162 of the defective conveying assembly 16. Steel shells with defective dimensions are grabbed by the fourth magnetic gripper of the waste kicking and material transfer gripper 15 arranged in the middle onto the corresponding third support block 162 of the defective conveying assembly 16. Steel shells with defective appearances are grabbed by the fourth magnetic gripper of the waste kicking and material transfer gripper 15 arranged on the right onto the corresponding third support block 162 of the defective conveying assembly 16. The qualified steel shells are lifted by the sixth cylinders 1453 of the four groups of lifting mechanisms 145, driving the U-shaped lifting plates 1451 to rise, and at the same time lifting the four qualified steel shells. Finally, the first magnetic gripper of the second manipulator 17 simultaneously grabs the four qualified steel shells onto the annular conveyor plate chain 19 in the blanking section.
