Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aircraft assembly and relates to an intelligent sorting device for aviation parts before inspection. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the aviation industry, the requirements for the efficiency and accuracy of parts sorting are increasing. Currently, the sorting of aviation parts mainly relies on manual operations, which has many limitations. First, manual sorting requires a lot of time and manpower, especially when dealing with large-scale, complex and diverse aviation parts, and it is often difficult to improve sorting efficiency. Second, the accuracy of manual sorting is difficult to guarantee. Due to the wide variety and different shapes of parts, coupled with compressed production cycles, sorting personnel fatigue and distraction, sorting errors often occur. This not only affects production progress, but also poses a significant risk to the safety performance of aviation products. In addition, traditional manual sorting methods face the problem of difficult management. During the manual sorting process, the tracking and management of parts often rely on paper records or simple electronic registration accounts. These methods are not only inefficient but also prone to data errors and data loss. Summary of the Invention
