[0024] See also Figures 1 to 5 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 14 and Figure 20 , Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of a hanging device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A top view of the hanging device 100; Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of an arrangement mechanism 10; Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of the arrangement and conveying assembly 15; Figure 5 yes Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of the carrier component 11, positioning drive 13 and guide component 14; Figure 11 yes Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of the insertion mechanism 30; Figure 14 yes Figure 11 Schematic diagram of the positioning member 312 and the push rod member 32; Figure 20 yes Figure 1Schematic diagram of the structure of the hanging frame 200 and the product 500. An embodiment of the present invention provides a hanging device 100, which includes an arranging mechanism 10, a swinging mechanism 20 and an insertion mechanism 30. The arranging mechanism 10 includes a bearing assembly 11, which is used to place the hanging frame 200 so that the axis of the insertion hole 220 on the hanging frame 200 is parallel to the first direction; the swinging mechanism 20 is used to transfer multiple products 500 to the hanging frame 200 on the bearing assembly 11 so that the insertion holes 220 and the matching parts 510 on the multiple products 500 are arranged along the first direction; the insertion mechanism 30 It includes a rod assembly 31, a push rod member 32 and a push rod driver 33. The rod assembly 31 is located on one side of the supporting assembly 11 in the first direction. The rod assembly 31 is used to store the string rod 400 so that the string rod 400 extends along the first direction. The push rod member 32 is movably connected to the rod assembly 31. The push rod driver 33 is connected to the push rod member 32. The push rod driver 33 can drive the push rod member 32 to move along the first direction to push the string rod 400 toward the supporting assembly 11, and make the string rod 400 pass through the insertion hole 220 and cooperate with multiple mating parts 510.

[0025] Specifically, the first direction is parallel to the Y direction, the swing mechanism 20 and the insertion mechanism 30 are respectively located on both sides of the bearing assembly 11 along the Y direction, the push rod driver 33 is a linear motor with a driving direction parallel to the Y direction, and a positioning hole 3122 is opened on the rod assembly 31, and the axis of the positioning hole 3122 coincides with the axis of the insertion hole 220 of the hanging frame 200 on the bearing assembly 11, and the string rod 400 is stored in the positioning hole 3122, and the axis of the string rod 400 in the positioning hole 3122 coincides with the axis of the positioning hole 3122, and the aperture of the positioning hole 3122 coincides with the aperture of the string rod 40 0, the push rod driver 33 and the rod assembly 31 are relatively fixed, the push rod member 32 slidably engages with the alignment hole 3122, and the push rod member 32 can extend into the alignment hole 3122 and abut against the end of the string rod 400 away from the carrier assembly 11. When the push rod driver 33 drives the push rod member 32 to move, the push rod member 32 provides a driving force in the Y direction to the end of the string rod 400 away from the carrier assembly 11, so that the end of the string rod 400 closer to the carrier assembly 11 moves in the Y direction and extends out of the alignment hole 3122 to extend into the insertion hole 220 on the carrier assembly 11. The mating portion 510 of the product 500 is a hole opened on the product 500. When the swing mechanism 20 arranges multiple products 500 on the hanging frame 200 along the Y direction, it can make the axis of the mating portion 510 of the product 500 parallel to the Y direction.

[0026] It is understood that when the push rod driver 33 drives the push rod member 32 to push the string rod 400 toward the hanging frame 200, the string rod 400 can be extended into the insertion hole 220 and engage with the hole wall of the insertion hole 220, thereby fixing the string rod 400 to the hanging frame 200. The support assembly 11 makes the axis of the insertion hole 220 parallel to the Y direction. The alignment hole 3122 can provide guidance for the movement of the string rod 400 along the Y direction. The string rod 400 is stored in the alignment hole 3122, and the axis of the alignment hole 3122 is parallel to the axis of the insertion hole 220 of the hanging frame 200 on the support assembly 11, which facilitates the push rod member 32 to push the string rod 400 into the insertion hole 220 along the Y direction. When the string rod 400 is inserted into the insertion hole 220 , parts of the string rod 400 are simultaneously inserted into the matching portions 510 of multiple products 500 , thereby enabling multiple products 500 to be fixed on the hanging frame 200 .

[0027] It should be noted that in some of the embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 、 Figure 20 The arrangement mechanism 10 further includes an arrangement conveyor assembly 15, which includes an arrangement hopper 151, an arrangement conveyor belt 152, an arrangement robot 155, an arrangement driver 153, and an arrangement slider 154. The arrangement slider 154 is located on one side of the carrier assembly 11 along the X direction. The arrangement driver 153 can drive the arrangement slider 154 to move in the X direction toward the carrier assembly 11. The arrangement robot 155 is located on one side of the arrangement slider 154 along the X direction. The arrangement hopper 151 is used to stack multiple hanging frames 200 along the Z direction. The arrangement conveyor belt 152 extends along the Y direction, with one end extending to the bottom side of the arrangement hopper 151 and the other end extending to one side of the arrangement robot 155 along the Y direction, so as to transport the material frames in the arrangement hopper 151 along the Y direction toward the arrangement robot 155. The arrangement robot 155 can transfer the hanging frames 200 on the arrangement conveyor belt 152 along the Y direction so that the hanging frames 200 are located on the one side of the carrier assembly 11 along the X direction. When the arrangement robot 155 transfers the hanging frame 200 to one side of the supporting component 11 along the X direction, the arrangement driver 153 can drive the arrangement slider 154 to push the hanging frame 200 along the X direction and move the hanging frame 200 onto the supporting component 11, so that the insertion mechanism 30 can insert the string rod 400 into the hanging frame 200.

[0028] In some of these examples, see Figures 1 to 4 、 Figure 19 and Figure 20 , Figure 19 yes Figure 2Schematic diagram of the partial structure of the feeding mechanism 40. The loading device 100 also includes a loading mechanism 40, which includes a loading robot 41, a rotating jacking assembly 42, a loading conveyor belt 43 and a loading silo 44. A fixed hook 441 is provided on the loading silo 44, and the fixed hook 441 is used to fix the hanging frame 200. The loading conveyor belt 43 extends along the X direction and can transport the loading silo 44 along the X direction. The rotating jacking assembly 42 is located below the conveying surface of the loading conveyor belt 43. When the loading silo 44 moves to a preset position, the rotating jacking assembly 42 can lift the loading silo 44 along the Z direction and make the loading silo 44 leave the conveying surface of the loading conveyor belt 43 so that the loading silo 44 stops the movement in the X direction. The loading robot 41 is located on one side of the loading conveyor belt 43 along the Y direction. The loading robot 41 can transfer the hanging frame 200 on the fixed hook 441 to the arranging silo 151 so that the hanging frame 200 is stacked in the arranging silo 151.

[0029] In some embodiments, a plurality of fixing hooks 441 are provided, and the plurality of fixing hooks 441 are used to fix a plurality of hanging frames 200. The plurality of fixing hooks 441 are divided into two groups, and the two groups of fixing hooks 441 are arranged along the Y direction, and the plurality of fixing hooks 441 in one group are arranged along the Z direction. When the plurality of hanging frames 200 on a group of fixing hooks 441 relatively close to the loading robot 41 along the Y direction in the two groups of fixing hooks 441 are transferred to the arrangement bin 151, the rotating lifting part can drive the loading bin 44 to rotate along an axis parallel to the Z direction, and enable the other group of fixing hooks 441 to drive the material frame to turn toward the loading robot 41.

[0030] It is understandable that providing the loading mechanism 40 and the arrangement and conveying assembly 15 can improve the degree of automation of the hanging device 100 .

[0031] In the hanging device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the swing mechanism 20 can transfer the product 500 to the hanging frame 200 on the supporting component 11, so that the insertion hole 220 on the hanging frame 200 and the matching part 510 of multiple products 500 are arranged along the first direction, and the insertion mechanism 30 can push the string rod 400 toward the insertion hole 220 of the hanging frame 200 on the supporting component 11, so that the string rod 400 is passed through the insertion hole 220 and cooperates with the matching part 510 of multiple products 500 on the hanging frame 200, thereby automatically fixing the string rod 400 and multiple products 500 on the hanging frame 200, which is beneficial to improve production efficiency.

[0032] See also Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 20 , Figure 7 yes Figure 5Schematic diagram of the structure of the opening driver 12 and the opening block 121. In one embodiment of this embodiment, the arrangement mechanism 10 further includes the opening driver 12 and the opening block 121. The hanging frame 200 is provided with two clips 210 that enclose and form an insertion hole 220. The opening block 121 is movably connected to the support assembly 11. The opening driver 12 is connected to the opening block 121. The opening driver 12 can drive the opening block 121 to approach the support assembly 11 so that the opening block 121 enters between the two clips 210 and is used to expand the insertion hole 220.

[0033] Specifically, when the hanging frame 200 is located at the bearing assembly 11, the two clips 210 are arranged along the X direction, the opening driver 12 is a cylinder whose driving direction is parallel to the Z direction, and the opening block 121 is located above the hanging frame 200 of the bearing assembly 11. Before the insertion mechanism 30 inserts the hanging frame 200, the opening driver 12 can drive the opening block 121 to move in the vertical downward direction. When the opening block 121 moves, it can squeeze the two clips 210 so that the two clips 210 are elastically deformed and move away from each other along the X direction. Subsequently, the insertion mechanism 30 pushes the string rod 400 into the insertion hole 220, and the opening driver 12 can drive the opening block 121 to move in the vertical upward direction so that the two clips 210 elastically recover and are relatively close.

[0034] It is understood that by providing the opening driver 12 and the opening block 121, the two clips 210 can be moved away from each other, thereby expanding the insertion hole 220, thereby reducing the friction between the string rod 400 and the wall of the insertion hole 220 during the insertion process, thereby facilitating the insertion mechanism 30 to insert the string rod 400 into the insertion hole 220. After the opening driver 12 drives the opening block 121 to withdraw vertically upward from between the two clips 210, the insertion hole 220 contracts, and the two clips 210 can clamp the string rod 400.

[0035] See also Figures 8 to 10 、 Figure 20 , Figure 8 yes Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of the carrier component 11, positioning driver 13, etc.; Figure 9 yes Figure 8 A schematic structural diagram of a first positioning member 131 and a second positioning member 132; Figure 10 yes Figure 9 An enlarged schematic diagram of the middle portion of the structure. In one embodiment of this embodiment, the arrangement mechanism 10 further includes a first positioning member 131, which is located below the supporting assembly 11. The first positioning member 131 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 1311 spaced apart along a first direction. After the swing mechanism 20 transfers the product 500 to the hanging frame 200, portions of the product 500 extend into the positioning grooves 1311. The positioning grooves 1311 are used to cooperate with the product 500 to position the product 500.

[0036] For details, please refer to Figure 20 The hanging frame 200 has a hollow portion. When the product 500 is placed on the hanging frame 200, a portion of the product 500 is exposed below the hanging frame 200. The positioning groove 1311 can cooperate with the portion of the product 500 exposed below the hanging frame 200, and can support the product 500 on the bottom wall of the positioning groove 1311. The positioning groove 1311 has a sidewall 1312 parallel to the Z direction. The sidewall 1312 of the positioning groove 1311 partially extends along the Z direction to form an insertion portion 1313. The insertion portion 1313 is formed with an insertion hole 1314. When the positioning groove 1311 cooperates with the portion of the product 500 exposed below the hanging frame 200, the axis of the insertion hole 1314 coincides with the axis of the insertion hole 220.

[0037] It is understood that the plurality of positioning grooves 1311 are spaced apart along the Y direction, and the positioning grooves 1311 have sidewalls 1312 parallel to the Z direction. When the positioning grooves 1311 are engaged with the product 500, on the one hand, the spacing of the plurality of products 500 along the Y direction can be made as expected, and on the other hand, the product 500 can be kept upright, which helps to reduce the risk of the string rod 400 damaging the product 500 due to the misalignment of the mating portion 510 caused by the tilt of the product 500 during the insertion process. The insertion hole 1314 can provide guidance for the string rod 400 during the insertion process.

[0038] See also Figures 8 to 10 、 Figure 20 In one embodiment of this embodiment, the arrangement mechanism 10 also includes a positioning driver 13 and a second positioning member 132. The second positioning member 132 is located below the supporting assembly 11. The positioning driver 13 is connected to the supporting assembly 11. The first positioning member 131 and the second positioning member 132 are both installed on the positioning driver 13. The positioning driver 13 can drive the first positioning member 131 and the second positioning member 132 to move synchronously to approach or move away from the supporting assembly 11. When the second positioning member 132 is close to the supporting assembly 11, it is used to abut against the hanging frame 200 to correct the position of the hanging frame 200 relative to the first positioning member 131.

[0039] Specifically, a positioning hole 230 is defined on the hanging frame 200. The positioning actuator 13 is a pneumatic cylinder with a driving direction parallel to the Z direction. The second positioning member 132 and the first positioning member 131 are both mounted on the driving end of the positioning actuator 13. The second positioning member 132 is cylindrical. When the positioning actuator 13 drives the first and second positioning members 131, 132 toward the carrier assembly 11 in the Z direction, the second positioning member 132 can extend into the positioning hole 230 and engage with the positioning hole 230. The positioning actuator 13 can also drive the first and second positioning members 131, 132 away from the carrier assembly 11 in the Z direction, so that the second positioning member 132 exits the positioning hole 230.

[0040] It is understandable that when the position of the hanging frame 200 and the first positioning member 131 is not as expected, the product 500 may not be able to extend into the positioning groove 1311. On the one hand, this will reduce the positioning effect of the first positioning member 131. On the other hand, when the swing mechanism 20 transfers the product 500 to the hanging frame 200, the bottom wall of the positioning groove 1311 cannot support the product 500, causing the product 500 to fall, and thus the product 500 cannot be fixed to the hanging frame 200. By providing the second positioning member 132 to correct the position of the hanging frame 200 relative to the first positioning member 131, it is helpful to improve the positioning effect of the first positioning member 131 and reduce the risk of the product 500 falling.

[0041] See also Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 20 , Figure 6 yes Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of the guide assembly 14. In one embodiment of this embodiment, the arrangement mechanism 10 further includes a guide assembly 14, and the guide assembly 14 includes a guide driver 141 and two guide blocks 142. The guide driver 141 is connected to the bearing assembly 11, and the guide driver 141 is connected to the two guide blocks 142. The guide driver 141 can drive the two guide blocks 142 to move relatively closer or farther away. When the two guide blocks 142 are relatively close to each other, they enclose and form a guide hole 1421. The axis of the guide hole 1421 is parallel to the first direction. When the pushing member pushes the string rod 400, the guide hole 1421 is used to allow the string rod 400 to extend into.

[0042] Specifically, the axis of the guide hole 1421 coincides with the axis of the insertion hole 220, the guide driver 141 is a clamping cylinder whose driving direction is parallel to the X direction, and the two guide blocks 142 can be relatively close to or away from each other along the X direction. The two guide blocks 142 are located on the side opposite to the alignment hole 3122 and the supporting component 11.

[0043] It is understood that when the string rod 400 extends from the alignment hole 3122, it can first pass through the guide hole 1421. The guide hole 1421 can guide the movement of the string rod 400 into the insertion hole 220, thereby facilitating the string rod 400 to enter the insertion hole 220. The string rod 400 is often affected by external forces and bends during the manufacturing and storage process. When the string rod 400 is bent to a large extent, it will make it difficult for the string rod 400 to enter the guide hole 1421. The guide hole 1421 can expand or contract as the two guide blocks 142 move closer or farther away from each other. When the guide hole 1421 is expanded, the guiding effect on the string rod 400 is reduced, making it easier for the string rod 400 to enter the guide hole 1421. When the guide hole 1421 is contracted, the guiding effect on the string rod 400 is improved. During the insertion process, the two guide blocks 142 are initially moved apart to expand the guide hole 1421. After the string rod 400 partially extends into the guide hole 1421, the two guide holes 1421 are moved closer together to shrink the insertion hole 220. This arrangement, on the one hand, allows the string rod 400 to enter the guide hole 1421 even when it is significantly bent, and on the other hand, reduces the risk of reduced guiding effectiveness due to the expansion of the guide hole 1421.

[0044] See also Figures 11 to 17 、 Figure 20 , Figure 12 yes Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the structure of the storage rod member 311 and the limit release member 36; Figure 13 yes Figure 12 An enlarged schematic diagram of the middle part of the structure; Figure 15 yes Figure 14 An enlarged schematic diagram of the middle part of the structure; Figure 16 yes Figure 12 A disassembled schematic diagram of the storage rod member 311 and the limiting member 34; Figure 17 yes Figure 16 An enlarged schematic diagram of the middle structure. In one embodiment of this embodiment, the rod-discharging assembly 31 includes a rod storage member 311 and an alignment member 312. The rod storage member 311 defines a rod storage slot 3111 for storing a plurality of stacked rod strings 400. The alignment member 312 defines an alignment slot 3121. The rod storage member 311 and the alignment member 312 are movably connected. When the rod storage member 311 moves above the alignment member 312, the rod storage slot 3111 and the alignment slot 3121 communicate with each other, and some of the rod strings 400 in the rod storage slot 3111 fall into the alignment slot 3121. The push rod driver 33 is connected to the alignment member 312. The push rod member 32 is movably connected to the alignment member 312 and is configured to push the rod strings 400 in the alignment slot 3121 toward the support assembly 11.

[0045] Specifically, the rod output assembly 31 includes a material changing guide rail 313, the storage rod member 311 is detachably connected to the material changing guide rail 313, the alignment member 312 and the material changing guide rail 313 can be slidably matched along the X direction, the alignment hole 3122 is located on the bottom side of the alignment groove 3121, the alignment groove 3121 is connected to the alignment hole 3122, and the string rod 400 in the alignment groove 3121 can fall into the alignment hole 3122.

[0046] It is understood that the operator can pull the rod storage member 311 in the X direction and move it away from the alignment member 312. When the rod storage member 311 is away from the alignment member 312, the operator can load the string rods 400 into the rod storage slot 3111. Alternatively, the operator can remove the rod storage member 311 and install another rod storage member 311 fully loaded with string rods 400 on the material replacement guide rail 313 to complete the loading of the string rods. Subsequently, the operator can push the rod storage member 311 in the X direction to above the alignment member 312, thereby connecting the rod storage slot 3111 and the alignment slot 3121, so that the string rods 400 in the rod storage slot 3111 can fall into the alignment slot 3121. The alignment groove 3121 can accommodate multiple string rods 400. When the operator pulls the storage rod member 311 away from the alignment member 312, the push rod member 32 and the push rod driver 33 can keep operating to push the string rod 400 in the alignment groove 3121 into the insertion hole 220. This arrangement can realize the loading of the string rod 400 without stopping the machine, which is conducive to improving production efficiency.

[0047] See also Figure 13 、 Figure 16 and Figure 17 In one embodiment of this embodiment, the rod-out assembly 31 further includes a limit member 34, a limit release member 36 and a limit release driver 37. The limit member 34 is movably connected to the storage rod member 311, and the limit member 34 can extend into the storage rod slot 3111 to abut against the string rod 400. The limit member 34 is used to limit the falling of the string rod 400 in the storage rod slot 3111, and the limit release driver 37 is relatively fixed to the alignment member 312 and is connected to the limit release member 36. When the storage rod member 311 moves above the alignment member 312, the limit release driver 37 can drive the limit release member 36 to drive the limit member 34 to exit the storage rod slot 3111, so that the string rod 400 in the storage rod slot 3111 can fall into the alignment slot 3121.

[0048] Specifically, the string rods 400 in the storage rod slot 3111 are stacked in the vertical direction. When the limit member 34 extends into the storage rod slot 3111, it abuts against one of the string rods 400 in the storage rod slot 3111 and provides a vertical upward force to the string rod 400 to limit the falling of the remaining string rods 400 stacked above the string rod 400. The limit release driver 37 is a cylinder, and the limit release driver 37 is relatively fixed to the positioning member 312. When the storage rod member 311 moves above the positioning member 312, the storage rod member 311 is adjacent to the limit release driver 37. The limit release driver 37 can drive the limit release member 36 to abut against the limit member 34 to push the limit member 34 out of the storage rod slot 3111.

[0049] It is understood that the string rod 400 can fall from the rod storage slot 3111 to leave the rod storage slot 3111. When the operator pulls the rod storage member 311 away from the positioning member 312 to load the string rod 400, the string rod 400 cannot enter the positioning slot 3121 after leaving the rod storage slot 3111, resulting in a failure in the insertion process. By providing the limit member 34, when the rod storage member 311 is away from the positioning member 312, the limit member 34 can limit the fall of the string rod 400 in the rod storage slot 3111. When the rod storage member 311 moves above the positioning member 312, the limit release driver 37 can drive the limit release member 36 to cause the limit member 34 to withdraw from the rod storage slot 3111, allowing the string rod 400 in the rod storage slot 3111 to fall into the positioning slot 3121. This can reduce the risk of the string rod 400 falling outside the positioning slot 3121 and facilitate the normal insertion process.

[0050] See also Figure 13 、 Figure 16 and Figure 17 In one embodiment of this embodiment, the limiting member 34 includes a mounting portion 341, a reset portion 342 and a limit portion 343. The mounting portion 341 is rotatably matched with the storage rod member 311. The reset portion 342 and the limit portion 343 are respectively located on both sides of the mounting portion 341. The reset portion 342 and the limit portion 343 can rotate relative to the storage rod member 311 with the mounting portion 341 as the center. An elastic member 35 is provided on the storage rod member 311. The elastic member 35 is connected to the reset portion 342. The elastic member 35 can drive the reset portion 342 to rotate so that the limit portion 343 extends into the storage rod groove 3111. The limit release member 36 can push the reset portion 342 to make the limit portion 343 withdraw from the storage rod groove 3111.

[0051] Specifically, the mounting portion 341 is a hole formed on the limiting member 34, the storage rod member 311 is provided with a mounting hole 315, the storage rod member 311 is provided with a rotating shaft 314, the rotating shaft 314 is passed through the mounting hole 315, the mounting portion 341 rotates with the rotating shaft 314, and the rotation axis is parallel to the Z direction, the limiting member 34 is located on one side of the storage rod slot 3111 along the X direction, the elastic member 35 is a spring, the spring extends along the X direction, and can provide a force to the reset portion 342 away from the storage rod slot 3111 along the X direction.

[0052] It can be understood that the force applied by the elastic member 35 to the reset portion 342 in the X-direction drives the reset portion 342 to rotate about the rotation axis 314 along an axis parallel to the Z-direction. The reset portion 342 and the stop portion 343 are two parts of the stop portion 34 located on either side of the rotation axis 314. Rotation of the reset portion 342 drives the stop portion 343 to rotate. Under the driving force of the elastic member 35 in the X-direction away from the rod slot 3111, the reset portion 342 can move away from the rod slot 3111, causing the stop portion 343 to move toward the rod slot 3111 and extend into the rod slot 3111. The stop release member 36 can abut the reset portion 342 from the side of the reset portion 342 facing away from the elastic member 35, pushing the reset portion 342 toward the rod slot 3111, causing the stop portion 343 to exit the rod slot 3111.

[0053] See also Figure 5 、 Figure 11 and Figure 20 In one embodiment of this implementation, the supporting assembly 11 is used for arranging multiple hanging frames 200 along the second direction, and multiple rod assemblies 31 are arranged along the second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The push rod member 32 is movably connected to the multiple rod assemblies 31, and the push rod member 32 is used to push the string rods 400 on the multiple rod assemblies 31 into the multiple insertion holes 220.

[0054] Specifically, the second direction is parallel to the X direction. This configuration enables the insertion mechanism 30 to insert multiple hanging frames 200 at the same time, which is beneficial to improving efficiency.

[0055] See also Figures 1 to 2 、 Figure 18 and Figure 20 , Figure 18 yes Figure 2Schematic diagram of the structure of the swing mechanism 20. In one embodiment of this embodiment, the swing mechanism 20 includes an incoming material component 21, a grabbing member 24, a first transfer component 22, and a second transfer component 23. The incoming material component 21 is used to store products 500, the grabbing member 24 is used to connect the products 500, the grabbing member 24 is connected to the second transfer component 23, and the second transfer component 23 is installed on the first transfer component 22. The first transfer component 22 can drive the grabbing member 24 to move from the incoming material component 21 to the carrying component 11 to transfer the product 500 on the incoming material component 21 to the hanging frame 200. The second transfer component 23 can drive the grabbing member 24 to rotate around an axis parallel to the horizontal plane to flip the product 500.

[0056] Specifically, the first transfer component 22 includes a linear motor whose driving direction is parallel to the Y direction, the second transfer component 23 includes a rotary driver, and the grabbing member 24 is installed on the driving end of the rotary driver. The rotary driver can drive the grabbing member 24 to rotate around an axis parallel to the X direction. The incoming material component 21 is located on one side of the supporting component 11 along the Y direction. A material tray is placed on the incoming material component 21, and the material tray is used to carry the product 500 so that the axis of the mating part 510 of the product 500 is parallel to the Z direction.

[0057] It is understandable that the first transfer assembly 22 can drive the product 500 to move from the incoming material assembly 21 to the carrying assembly 11 along the Y direction. During the production process, in order to ensure that the product 500 can be transported smoothly, the product 500 is usually placed on the material tray in a flat form. During the insertion process, in order for the string rod 400 to cooperate with the matching part 510, the product 500 needs to be placed on the hanging frame 200 in an upright form. It should be noted that when the product 500 is lying flat, the axis of the matching part 510 is parallel to the Z direction, and when the product 500 is standing upright, the axis of the matching part 510 is parallel to the Y direction. The second transfer assembly 23 is set to drive the product 500 to rotate around the rotation axis parallel to the X direction, which can automatically stand up the lying product 500. On the one hand, it is conducive to the normal progress of the insertion process, and on the other hand, it is conducive to improving the degree of automation of the hanging device 100.
