[0042] It can be understood that the working process of one of the preferred embodiments of the present application includes: identifying the placement state of the object through the visual recognition camera, that is, scanning whether the object is vertically placed or horizontally placed, because it is a circular visual recognition camera, the scanning range is relatively large.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 6-7The application provides another embodiment, which provides an automatic overturning feeding method, comprising the following steps:

[0047] S100, a visual recognition camera is used to recognize the state of the material placement, and distance data of the material from the automatic overturning feeding device are calculated, and the recognition result and the distance data are transmitted to a control module 4.

[0048] It should be noted that before step S100, a first preset threshold is preset, and the first preset threshold is set according to the actual weight of the material.

[0049] S200, the control module 4 controls the rotatable folding electrically controlled magnetic attraction device 8 to be unfolded and rotated in proportion according to the recognition result and the distance data, controls the magnetic attraction function of the rotatable folding electrically controlled magnetic attraction device 8 to be turned on to attract the material and place the material on the movable base 6, and then controls the flexible chain conveyor belt 7 to be turned on, and judges whether the material is in place by using the weight data detected by the weight sensor 9.

[0050] S300, if the weight data is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, it is judged that the material is in place, at this time, the control module 4 controls the lifting track to be turned on, so that the movable base 6 rises until the movable base 6 is buckled with the first rotating shaft 3.

[0051] It should be noted that if the material is not in place, the pressure of the material on the weight sensor 9 will be obviously smaller, i.e., less than the first preset threshold.

[0052] Preferably, the first weight sensor and the second weight sensor can also be arranged at the two side edges of the flexible chain conveyor belt 7 respectively, the first weight data and the second weight data are collected by the first weight sensor and the second weight sensor respectively, whether the difference between the first weight data and the second weight data is less than a second preset threshold is judged, and if yes, it is judged that the material is in place. Because if the material is not in place, the pressure of the material on the two weight sensors is obviously unbalanced, and the difference between the two weight data collected by the two weight sensors on the flexible chain conveyor belt 7 should be larger, i.e., the difference between the first weight data and the second weight data should be greater than or equal to the second preset threshold.

[0053] S400, the control module 4 controls the magnetic attraction function of the upper electrically controlled magnetic attraction device 1 to be turned on, controls the first rotating shaft 3 to rotate, realizes overturning of the material, and after the material is overturned, the lower surface of the material contacts the material conveying belt, and the feeding is completed.

[0054] Specifically, the S200 comprises:

[0055] S210, the control module 4 controls the rotatable folding electrically controlled magnetic attraction device 8 to be unfolded in proportion according to the identification result and the distance data, so as to ensure that the rotatable folding electrically controlled magnetic attraction device 8 can be adsorbed to the material after being rotated;

[0056] S220, the rotatable folding electrically controlled magnetic attraction device 8 is controlled to rotate in a positive direction away from the first support part around the second rotating shaft until the rotatable folding electrically controlled magnetic attraction device 8 is located on the same straight line with the movable base 6, so as to realize adsorption of the material;

[0057] S230, after the material is adsorbed, the rotatable folding electrically controlled magnetic attraction device 8 is controlled to rotate in a reverse direction by a second preset angle around the second rotating shaft.

[0058] It should be noted that, in the present application, the material is fixed by the electrically controlled magnetic attraction device, and the movable base can be moved to the clamping groove, at this time, the upper end electrically controlled magnetic attraction device also opens the magnetic attraction function, which increases the stability of the material in the feeding process and enhances the safety in the transportation process. In the present application, the material placement form is scanned and identified before the material is grabbed, the rotatable folding electrically controlled magnetic attraction device on the movable base is used for grabbing, and the material is vertically moved to the flexible chain conveyor belt of the movable base, which reduces the repetitive work of manual carrying and is more efficient. The first rotating shaft can bear the weight of large materials, and the electrically controlled cross telescopic connecting shaft at the back of the device can control the speed of the material overturning by controlling the telescopic speed, so as to slow down the pressure of the material on the material conveyor belt, thereby realizing the overturning of large materials.

An automated flipping and feeding method, characterized in that, The automated flipping and feeding device according to any one of claims 1-7 includes: using a visual recognition camera to identify the state of the material placement, and simultaneously calculating the distance data between the material and the automated flipping and feeding device, and transmitting the identification result and distance data to the control module (4); the control module (4) controls the rotatable foldable electromagnetic suction device (8) to unfold and rotate proportionally according to the identification result and distance data, the control module controls the rotatable foldable electromagnetic suction device (8) to adsorb the material, and then changes the placement posture of the material, and then places the material on the movable base (6); then, the control module (4) controls the movable base (6) to lift the material to the first rotating shaft (3) along the lifting slide rail of the first support, so that the movable base (6) and the first rotating shaft (3) are snapped together; then, the control module (4) controls the first rotating shaft (3) to flip, so as to realize the material flipping and feeding.

9. The automated flipping feeding method according to claim 8, characterized in that, The method further includes: S210, The control module (4) controls the rotatable foldable electromagnetic device (8) to unfold proportionally according to the distance data, so as to ensure that the rotatable foldable electromagnetic device (8) can adsorb the material after rotation; S220, control the rotatable and foldable electromagnetic suction device (8) to rotate in the positive direction away from the first support part around the second rotation axis until the rotatable and foldable electromagnetic suction device (8) and the movable base (6) are on the same straight line to achieve adsorption of materials; S230. After adsorbing the material, control the rotatable and foldable electro-magnetic suction device (8) to rotate in the opposite direction around the second axis by a second preset angle.
