Each mechanism includes a side plate basket, a material quantity recognition camera, and a flipping mechanism. The flipping mechanism is located on one side of the side plate basket, and the material quantity recognition camera is located above it. The material quantity recognition camera is used to identify the number of side plates in the basket. A material leakage mechanism is provided at the bottom of the basket. When the material quantity recognition camera detects that the number of side plates in the basket exceeds the top surface of the basket, the leakage mechanism opens to release a portion of the side plates. The flipping mechanism is used to identify the front and back sides of the side plates grabbed from the basket by the left or right side plate feeding gripper, and flips the side plate to the front side when it is the back side.

8. The pipe fitting feeding and assembly system as described in claim 7, characterized in that, The flipping mechanism includes a detection camera, a side plate placement plate, a U-shaped component, a roller bearing follower, a side plate flipping plate, a rotary guide block, and a flipping cylinder. The side plate placement plate is adjacent to the detection camera. The U-shaped component surrounds the side plate flipping plate and is located on the side away from the detection camera. The flipping cylinder is connected to the U-shaped component. The roller bearing follower is mounted on the U-shaped component. The side plate flipping plate is connected to the roller bearing follower. The rotary guide block is located on one side of the side plate placement plate and has a flipping guide groove.
