[0002] The production and preparation of electrical porcelain is a typical labor-intensive industry, with the characteristics of complex processes and cumbersome procedures. From material selection to delivery, porcelain insulators need to go through a series of processes such as raw material inspection, batching, ball milling, iron removal by screening, mud squeezing, electric drying, blank repair, glazing, firing, inspection and testing. Each link may introduce errors, which may be eliminated in the next link, but some errors that cannot be eliminated will inevitably appear, which may have an adverse effect on the quality of the product. With the development of science and technology, the production process technology of the domestic electrical porcelain industry has been greatly updated, but there are generally low levels of intelligence in the equipment supporting the process technology, high levels of manual participation in the production and preparation process, and different operating levels of workers, which will also cause uneven product quality. In order to improve the production quality of porcelain insulators, a feeding and transfer device with visual inspection and precise adjustment is needed. Summary of the invention
