[0020] Another aspect of the present invention provides an automated plug-in terminal feeding detection method, comprising the following steps: S1 aligning a material storage tank of a cut-off component with a conveying channel on a conveying component; conveying the material to the conveying component through a material storage device; S2 visual module detects whether the material on the conveying group enters the storage tank; if it is detected that it enters the storage tank, the interception component is controlled to move to the blocking position with the conveying component, and the visual module detects whether the material in the storage tank is the front or the back; if it is the front, proceed to step S3; otherwise, proceed to step S4; S3 grabs the material through the turning device and turns it over, and then puts the turned material into the storage tank; S4 transports the material in the storage tank to the next workstation through the feeding device.

[0021] With the above arrangement, after the material is placed in the storage device, the material is transported from the discharge port of the storage device to the conveying component. In the process of continuously transporting the material to the conveying component, the storage trough is first aligned with the conveying component, and the material in the storage device will continuously push the material on the conveying component to move in the direction of the material cutting component, thereby continuously transporting the material to the storage trough of the material cutting component; after the material is transported to the material cutting component, the turning device and the material cutting component are driven by the first driving device to move in a direction perpendicular to the conveying component, so that the non-storage trough of the material cutting component is connected with the conveying component, thereby intercepting the material on the conveying component, so that the material on the conveying component cannot continue to be transported The material is sent to the material cutting component, and then the visual module arranged on the feeding device detects whether the material that has entered the material cutting component is placed upside down. Then the material on the material cutting component is clamped by the flipping device and flipped over, and reset after flipping. Finally, the material picking clamp arranged on the feeding device grabs the flipped material and conveys it to the next process, completing the material detection and realizing the material conveying. Due to the setting of the intercepting component, the logistics conveyed to the intercepting component can be detected on the front and back sides, and when it is placed in the reverse direction, it can be placed on the front side for the next conveying, thereby ensuring the stability of the conveying, so that the material can be accurately connected with the flexible circuit board, thereby improving the working efficiency.

If the front side of the material is facing up, enters step S4; if the back side of the material is facing up, enters step S3.

[0023] The above arrangement realizes the vibration conveying of the material through the vibration mechanism, ensures that the material is conveyed into the conveying channel of the conveying component, and then realizes reliable movement by driving the interception component.

[0024] Furthermore, S3 includes: driving the longitudinal moving component to move in a direction perpendicular to the conveying channel through the second driving component, so that the flipping component connected to the longitudinal moving component moves into the through groove of the buffer seat, and then driving the fifth clamping hand to clamp the material in the storage trough through the fifth driving component, and then driving the flipping component to move upward in the vertical direction through the third driving component, so that the material in the storage trough is separated from the buffer seat, and then driving the flipping component connected to the connecting seat to rotate through the fourth driving component, so that the front and back sides of the material are flipped, and after flipping, the flipping component is driven to move downward in the vertical direction through the third driving component, so that the flipped material is reset to the storage trough; S4 drives the seventh connecting plate through the eighth driving member to slide on the third slide rail through the third slider and then move downward in the vertical direction, thereby driving the support frame connected to the seventh connecting plate to move downward, so that the feeding clamp set on the support frame drops into the through groove of the buffer seat. After the material abuts against the touch sensor set on the side of the ninth driving member, the feeding clamp is driven by the ninth driving member connected to the support frame to clamp the material. After clamping, the material is driven by the eighth driving member to move upward to separate from the storage slot of the buffer seat, and finally transported to the next process through the first sliding module and the second sliding module.

[0025] The above arrangement facilitates reliable conveying when the front and back sides of the material are in different states. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The plate a12 and the buffer seat a13 move in a direction perpendicular to the conveying channel a5, so that the conveying channel a5 is misaligned with the material storage tank a15, so that the buffer block a16 just moves to the conveying channel a5, blocking the material a51 in the conveying channel a5, realizing flow interception, and then judging the front and back sides of the material, obtaining the front side picture of the material entering the buffer seat through the visual module, and then comparing it with the preset front side picture of the material entering the buffer seat to determine whether it is placed upside down, if the front side of the material a51 is facing up, then go to step S4; if the back side of the material a51 is facing up, then go to step S3; S3 drives the longitudinal moving component to move in a direction perpendicular to the conveying channel a5 through the second driving member a5, so that the flipping component connected to the longitudinal moving component moves into the through slot a14 of the buffer seat a13, and then drives the fifth clamp a29 through the fifth driving member a28 to clamp the material a51 in the storage trough a15, and then drives the flipping component to move upward in the vertical direction through the third driving member a23, so that the material in the storage trough a15 is separated from the buffer seat a13, and then drives the flipping component connected to the connecting seat a27 to rotate 180 degrees through the fourth driving member a26, so that the front and back sides of the material a51 are flipped, and after flipping, the flipping component is driven by the third driving member a23 to move downward in the vertical direction, so that the flipped material a51 is reset to the storage trough a15; S4 drives the seventh connecting plate a41 through the eighth driving member a42 to slide on the third slide rail a44 through the third slider a43 and then move downward in the vertical direction, thereby driving the support frame a45 connected to the seventh connecting plate a41 to move downward, so that the feeding clamp a47 set on the support frame a45 drops into the through groove of the buffer seat a13, and after the material a51 abuts against the touch sensor a50 set on the side of the ninth driving member a46, the feeding clamp a47 is driven by the ninth driving member a46 connected to the support frame a45 to clamp the material a51. After clamping, the material is driven by the eighth driving member a42 to move upward to separate from the storage slot a15 of the buffer seat a13, and finally the first sliding module a31 and the second sliding module a32 are used to respectively realize the front and rear direction and left and right direction position adjustment, so as to transport the material a51 to the next process.

[0040] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: after material a51 is placed into a material storage device, a vibration source connected to the material storage device is used to provide power for the material, so that material a51 is transported from the material discharge port of the material storage device to the conveying component, thereby enabling material a51 to be continuously transported to the material cutting component. After the material is transported to the material cutting component, the first driving device drives the flipping device and the material cutting component to move in a direction perpendicular to the conveying component, so that the material cutting component intercepts the material on the conveying component, so that the material a51 on the conveying component cannot continue to be transported to the material cutting component. Then, the visual module arranged on the feeding device detects the material a51 that has entered the material cutting component, and then the flipping device clamps the material on the material cutting component and flips a51, which is reset after flipping. Finally, the material after flipping is clamped by the material picking clamp arranged on the feeding device and transported to the next process. The material detection is completed and material transportation is realized, so that the material can be accurately connected with the flexible circuit board, thereby improving the working efficiency.
