[0024] Above the transport belt 1, there is an installation frame 4. On the installation frame 4, there is a signal electric cylinder 10. On the telescopic rod of the signal electric cylinder 10, there is a signal transmitting and receiving device 11. The signal transmitting and receiving device 11 is composed of a signal transmitter and a receiver. The receiver receives the output signal of the transmitter to correct the installation angle of the positioned workpiece. The control mechanism includes a position motor 15 arranged on the side of the transport belt 1. On the output shaft of the position motor 15, there is a position gear 14. The position gear 14 meshes with the turntable 12. On the telescopic rod of the position electric cylinder 13, there is an installation rod 16.

[0026] The principle of the present invention is implemented as follows: The flange is openly placed on the positioning mechanism, that is, on the support wheel 21, and is supported and fixed by the support wheel 21. During the process of transporting the flange workpiece, when passing through the signal transmitter-receiver 11, the height of the signal transmitter-receiver 11 is controlled by the signal electric cylinder 10, so that the transmitter and receiver on the signal transmitter-receiver 11 are located on both sides of the flange; when installing the flange, there are deviations in the angular orientation of the flange holes, but during subsequent transportation, for example, when automated detection of the flange holes is required, then the angular orientation of the flange needs to be ensured to be accurate; therefore, the driving gear 19 is controlled by the position electric cylinder 13 to move towards the control gear 25, so that the driving gear 19 meshes with the control gear 25. During this process, the fixed seat 29 pre-fixes the support wheel 21. The push rod 17 pushes the push wheel 33, causing the swing rod 32 to deflect. Further, the push wheel 33 at the other end of the push wheel 33 pushes the pushing portion 31, so that the fixed seat 29 releases the fixation of the support wheel 21. By operating the driving motor 18, the control gear 25 rotates, and under the driving action of the connecting belt 22, each support wheel 21 rotates, thereby driving the flange to rotate. When the flange hole passes through the transmitter and receiver, the wall surface of the flange does not block the signal transmission, that is, the receiver can receive the signal, and then the angle of the hole is corrected.

[0027] The push rod 17 releases the push on the push wheel 33, and the fixed seat 29 re-contacts and fixes the support wheel 21; when maintaining the positioning mechanism, that is, when the positioning mechanism is located below the transport belt 1, the cleaning portion 9 is controlled to move by the control electric cylinder two 8 and contacts the support wheel 21. By operating the position motor 15, the turntable 12 rotates, that is, the orientation of the driving mechanism and the push rod 17 is adjusted, and then the support wheel 21 is driven to rotate, and the cleaning portion 9 removes impurities and oil stains on the support wheel 21; further, when the positioning mechanism is located above the lubricating mechanism, the lubricating portion 7 is controlled to move by the control electric cylinder one 6, the transmission box 5 transmits lubricating oil, and then it is transmitted to the support wheel 21 through the lubricating portion 7.

[0028] Further, each positioning mechanism can be tension-adjusted, that is, the tension of the connecting belt 22 is adjusted. Specifically, by turning the adjusting gear two 28, the adjusting gear one 27 rotates, and then the adjusting screw 26 and the tensioning seat 24 move, and the two sides of the connecting belt 22 can be tension-adjusted, and there are many adjustment points.
