[0078] A first baffle 128 is protruding from the circumferential side of the bottom plate 126 toward the direction close to the material dividing plate 124. The first baffle 128 extends from the material receiving position to the material dividing position along the direction of rotation of the material dividing plate 124. The first baffle 128 is used to block the buttons in the material dividing trough. A connecting plate is provided on the circumferential side of the limiting plate 127. The connecting plate and the outer side surface of the first baffle 128 are adjustably connected in a direction perpendicular to the limiting plate 127.

[0079] Specifically, refer to Fig. 9A long hole 1271 is set on the connecting plate, and a threaded hole corresponding to the long hole 1271 is set on the first baffle 128. A screw is used to pass through the long hole 1271 and connect it with the threaded hole on the first baffle 128, so that the connecting plate and the first baffle 128 can be adjustable. The position of the limiting plate 127 on the buttons in the dividing trough can be adjusted to adapt to the limiting of buttons of different specifications.

[0080] A second baffle 129 is adjustably provided on the circumferential side of the bottom plate 126 along the circumferential direction of the bottom plate 126 . The second baffle 129 protrudes toward the direction of the material dividing plate 124 . The second baffle 129 extends from the material dividing position to the material receiving position along the direction of rotation of the material dividing plate 124 .

[0081] The distance between the second baffle 129 and the first baffle 128 can be changed by adjusting the position of the second baffle 129 , so that buttons of different specifications can be transported from between the second baffle 129 and the first baffle 128 to the material tray 17 .

[0082] Please refer to Figure 8 The material dividing plate 124 of this embodiment includes a first plate material dividing plate 1241 and a second plate material dividing plate 1243 which are stacked. A plurality of column material dividing grooves 1242 are arranged around the first plate material dividing plate 1241. A plurality of buckle surface material dividing grooves 1244 which correspond to the column material dividing grooves 1242 are arranged around the second plate material dividing plate 1243. The column material dividing grooves 1242 are used to locate the column part of the button, and the buckle surface material dividing grooves 1244 are used to locate the buckle surface part of the button. The positioning of the buttons by the column material dividing grooves 1242 and the buckle surface material dividing grooves 1244 enables the material dividing plate 124 to stably convey the buttons.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the button sorting mechanism 12 further includes a camera 12A and an annular light source 12B. The annular light source 12B is located between the camera 12A and the sorting plate 124. The shooting direction of the camera 12A is directed to a sorting slot adjacent to the sorting position and close to the receiving position. The camera 12A visually inspects the buttons in the sorting slot, thereby avoiding an empty sorting slot or preventing the wrong button from entering the material tray 17. An empty sorting slot will result in an empty slot without buttons in the material tray 17.

[0084] In this embodiment, the button material distributing mechanism 12 includes a U-shaped support seat 12D, a straight vibration track 121 is arranged inside the support seat 12D, a motor 12C is fixedly arranged on one side of the support seat 12D, the output end of the motor 12C is connected to a first transmission wheel, the bottom of the material distributing plate 124 is connected to a second transmission wheel 1245, a position avoidance slot for the second transmission wheel 1245 to pass through is arranged on the bottom plate 126, and the first transmission wheel and the second transmission wheel 1245 are connected by a transmission belt. In this way, the position of the motor 12C can be flexibly set, and the motor 12C will not interfere with the material tray 17.

[0085] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: first, the material receiving platform 131 moves to the bottom of the lifting platform 1331, and then the lifting driving member 1332 drives the lifting platform 1331 to descend. When the stacked multiple material trays 17 approach the material receiving platform 131, the layered driving member 1335 drives the layered plate 1334 away from the material trays 17, so that the stacked multiple material trays 17 fall onto the material receiving platform 131. Then the layered driving member 1335 drives the layered plate 1334 to slide and insert between the bottommost material tray 17 and the material tray 17 above it, and at the same time, the ejector pin 1336 extends to press the bottommost material tray 17 of the stacked multiple material trays 17 onto the material receiving platform 131, and then the lifting platform 1331 rises, and the multiple material trays 17 are moved upward to a certain height position, leaving only one material tray 17 on the material receiving platform 131. After the ejector pin 1336 retracts, the material receiving platform 131 can drive the material tray 17 to move to the bottom of the button material distributing mechanism 12.

[0086] The vibration disk mechanism 11 conveys buttons to the straight vibration track 121, and the dividing plate 124 rotates to make a dividing trough opposite to the conveying trough to receive buttons one by one. The buttons are conveyed from the receiving position to the dividing position through the space between the bottom plate 126 and the limiting plate 127. The dividing plate 124 rotates to cooperate with the horizontal and vertical movement of the mobile driving module, so that the buttons can be placed one by one in the trough of the material tray 17.

[0087] Then, the full material tray 17 is driven by the mobile drive module to move to the bottom of the conveying robot 16. Before this, the conveying robot 16 has grabbed a cotton spacer from the cotton spacer feeding platform 14, and the conveying robot 16 places the cotton spacer on the full material tray 17. After placing the cotton spacer, the conveying robot 16 grabs the full material tray 17 and conveys it to the output line 15 for output.

[0088] This completes the process of placing buttons on the tray and outputting them by the fully automatic button tray-sorting and button-placing device of the preferred embodiment.

[0089] The material receiving platform of the fully automatic button tray sorting and button swinging device of the preferred embodiment can cooperate with the hopper assembly to receive the trays of the hopper assembly one by one, and then the material receiving platform transports the trays to the bottom of the button sorting mechanism, and the button sorting mechanism places the buttons one by one in the trays on the material receiving platform, and finally the conveying robot grabs the spacer and places it on the full tray, and grabs the tray and transports it to the output line for output, with a high degree of automation and high work efficiency.

[0090] In summary, although the present invention has been disclosed as above in terms of preferred embodiments, the above preferred embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. A person skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be based on the scope defined in the claims.
