However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, devices, and / or systems described herein will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of the present application. For example, the order of the operations described herein is merely an example and is not limited to the order described herein, but changes can be made to the order of the operations except for operations that must occur in a specific order, which will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of the present application. Also, the description of features known in the art can be omitted in order to improve clarity and conciseness. The features described herein can be implemented in different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided merely to show some of the many ways in which the methods, devices, and / or systems described herein can be implemented after an understanding of the disclosure of the present application. In view of the existing technical problems of failing to keep up with the production rhythm, low work efficiency, time-consuming and laborious, and increased labor costs in the process of welding assembly of automobiles, the present application provides a multi-vehicle part stacking and stacking automatic sorting and conveying system, which will be described in detail below. Figures 1-18 The present application is described in detail.

[0012] In combination with Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the multi-vehicle part stacking and stacking automatic sorting and conveying system includes a stacking and stacking assembly 1, which has a plurality of stacking and stacking members 102 arranged along a first direction 101, in combination with Figure 1As shown, the first direction 101 refers to the length direction of the entire conveying system, that is, the stacking and accumulating assembly 1 has a plurality of stacking and accumulating members 102 arranged along the length direction of the entire conveying system, and the stacking and accumulating members 102 are used to stack and accumulate automobile parts 222, such as stacking automobile bumpers, covers, panels, etc.

[0013] Specifically, each stacking and accumulating member 102 is used to stack and accumulate automobile parts 222 of one vehicle type (a plurality of stacking and accumulating members 102 are used to stack and accumulate automobile parts 222 of a plurality of different vehicle types); in combination with Figure 1 As shown, taking three stacking and accumulating members 102 as an example, the three stacking and accumulating members 102 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the entire conveying system. Since each stacking and accumulating member 102 is for automobile parts 222 of one vehicle type, that is, the three stacking and accumulating members 102 can stack and accumulate automobile parts 222 of three different vehicle types; for example, the first stacking and accumulating member 102 stacks automobile bumpers of the first vehicle type, the second stacking and accumulating member 102 stacks automobile bumpers of the second vehicle type, and the third stacking and accumulating member 102 stacks covers of the third vehicle type. It is worth noting that: in this embodiment, three stacking and accumulating members 102 are taken as an example, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to three, and more, such as five, seven, eight, etc., can also be used according to the needs of the production line.

[0014] In addition, the stacking and accumulating member 102 has a plurality of stacking and accumulating positions arranged along the first direction 101 and used to stack and accumulate automobile parts 222, that is, a plurality of stacking and accumulating positions are formed in the stacking and accumulating member 102 and arranged in sequence along the first direction 101. Specifically, the same stacking and accumulating member 102 is used to stack and accumulate automobile parts 222 of the same vehicle type, and the plurality of stacking and accumulating positions in the same stacking and accumulating member 102 are used to stack and accumulate different automobile parts 222 of the same vehicle type; for example, the same stacking and accumulating member 102 has four stacking and accumulating positions, then the first stacking and accumulating position can be used to stack and accumulate automobile bumpers of the first vehicle type, the second stacking and accumulating position can be used to stack and accumulate covers of the first vehicle type, the third stacking and accumulating position can be used to stack and accumulate panels of the first vehicle type, and the fourth stacking and accumulating position can be used to stack and accumulate roofs of the first vehicle type (then when sorting, the automobile bumpers, covers, panels, and roofs can be sorted and placed at the same time as a group). Further, the same stacking and accumulating position can sequentially stack a plurality of the same automobile parts 222 of the same vehicle type along the second direction 103, in combination with Figure 1 As shown, the second direction 103 refers to the vertically downward direction, that is, the same stacking and accumulating position can sequentially stack a plurality of the same automobile parts 222 of the same vehicle type along the vertically downward direction.

[0015] As can be seen, the above-mentioned stacking and storing members 102 arranged in the first direction 101 can store automobile parts 222 of multiple vehicle models, thereby realizing the orderly stacking and storing of automobile parts of multiple vehicle models.

[0016] In combination Figure 3 and with reference to Figure 5 , the multi-vehicle model part stacking and storing automatic sorting and conveying system further comprises a sorting assembly 2, which has a driving part 201 and a sorting part 202 connected with the driving part 201, that is, the driving part 201 can drive the sorting part 202 to perform sorting operation. Specifically, in the initial state (the initial state refers to the state when it is not working and not sorting), the sorting part 202 is located below the lowermost automobile part 222 in the stacking and storing member 102 to limit the lowermost automobile part 222 in the stacking and storing member 102, that is, the automobile part 222 at this time will not be sorted (fall out) from the stacking and storing member 102. In the working state (the working state refers to the state when the automobile part 222 needed is sorted), the driving part 201 drives the sorting part 202 to move, which can sort out the lowermost automobile part 222 in the stacking and storing member 102 from the stacking and storing member 102.

[0017] It should be emphasized that when the automobile part 222 of a certain vehicle model is needed, the sorting assembly 2 adapted to the vehicle model is controlled by the computer to sort out the automobile part 222 of the vehicle model.

[0018] In combination Figure 10 , the multi-vehicle model part stacking and storing automatic sorting and conveying system further comprises a conveying assembly 3. Specifically, the conveying assembly 3 is arranged below the stacking and storing assembly 1, which has a conveying part 301, a receiving part arranged on the conveying part 301 and capable of moving with the conveying part 301, and a positioning part for positioning the receiving part. Among them, the automobile part 222 sorted by the sorting assembly 2 can fall in the receiving part positioned by the positioning part along the second direction 103, when the receiving part receives the sorted automobile part 222, the conveying part 301 drives the receiving part to move, so that the receiving part is conveyed from the first station to the second station, then when the receiving part is conveyed from the first station to the second station, it means that the sorted automobile part 222 is conveyed from the first station to the second station. It should be noted that the first station here refers to the position below the stacking and storing assembly 1, and the second station moves out from below the stacking and storing assembly 1 and can be a position where the subsequent mechanical hand can grasp.

[0019] In addition, the above-mentioned positioning part can position the receiving part, so that the receiving part can accurately receive the automobile part 222 sorted out by the sorting assembly 2, ensuring the accuracy of the receiving and preventing the occurrence of the dropping part.

[0020] In summary, the application adopts the mode that the stacking and storing assembly 1, the sorting assembly 2 and the conveying assembly 3 are combined together, the stacking and storing assembly 1 stores various automobile parts 222 of various vehicle models, the sorting assembly 2 sorts the required automobile parts 222, and the conveying assembly 3 transports the sorted automobile parts 222 to the designated position, the whole process can realize automatic sorting and transportation, compared with the prior art, the working efficiency is greatly improved, and the problem of cost increase due to labor increase can be reduced.

[0021] In this embodiment, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is shown that the stacking and storing member 102 comprises a shell 104, which can be a cube or a cuboid, which surrounds a stacking and storing space 105, and a plurality of stacking and storing positions are sequentially formed in the stacking and storing space 105 along the first direction 101.

[0022] Still in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is shown that the stacking and storing member 102 further comprises a limiting plate 106, corresponding to each stacking and storing position, two limiting plates 106 capable of surrounding a stacking and storing cavity are arranged along the first direction 101, that is, each stacking and storing position has two limiting plates 106, the two limiting plates 106 are arranged along the first direction 101, so that a stacking and storing cavity is formed between the two limiting plates 106, which is used for placing the automobile parts 222. Specifically, the automobile parts 222 are sequentially stacked in the stacking and storing cavity along the second direction 103. In the actual stacking process, the operator stands at the opening end formed by the two limiting plates 106, and then sequentially stacks the automobile parts 222 in the stacking and storing cavity. It can also be selected that the automobile parts 222 that have been stacked are directly and orderly placed in the stacking and storing cavity.

[0023] Since the automobile parts 222 are stacked in the stacking and storing cavity formed by the two limiting plates 106, that is, the automobile parts 222 have limiting plates 106 at both ends in the first direction 101, the limiting plates 106 realize the limiting of the automobile parts 222 in the first direction 101, preventing the automobile parts 222 from shaking or falling in the first direction 101.

[0024] In the above technical solution, further in combination with Figure 11 It is shown that the stacking and storing member 102 further comprises a fixing plate 221, which is fixed to the shell 104 and located below the top plate of the shell 104, and the limiting plate 106 is preferably arranged on the fixing plate 221 by welding.

[0025] In the above technical solution, further in combination with Figure 2As shown, the stacking and storing member 102 further comprises a limiting rod 107. The limiting rod 107 extends along the second direction 103, and the limiting rod 107 is capable of sequentially penetrating through the plurality of automobile parts 222 in the stacking and storing cavity along the second direction 103, so as to limit the plurality of automobile parts 222 in the second direction 103. Specifically, the automobile parts 222 have fixing holes at both ends of the fifth direction, and two fixing holes are also provided on the fixing plate 221 corresponding to the positions of the two fixing holes on the automobile parts 222; in addition, the limiting rod 107 is also provided with two limiting rods, and when the automobile parts 222 are orderly placed in the stacking and storing cavity, the two limiting rods 107 are sequentially penetrated through the fixing holes of the fixing plate 221 and the fixing holes of the automobile parts 222 from above the fixing plate 221, so that the automobile parts 222 are connected in parallel (fixed) to the limiting rod 107, that is, the limiting rod 107 realizes the limiting of the plurality of automobile parts 222 in the second direction 103.

[0026] In this embodiment, the driving part 201 is a first driving member 203, which can be selected as a cylinder or a motor; the sorting part 202 comprises a sorting rod 204 and a sorting spiral head 205. Figure 5

[0027] The sorting rod 204 extends along the second direction 103, that is, the sorting rod 204 extends along the vertically downward direction. In addition, the sorting rod 204 is arranged on the outer side away from each other of the two opposite limiting plates 106 surrounding the stacking and storing cavity.

[0028] The sorting spiral head 205 is arranged on the sorting rod 204 and corresponds to the position of the lowermost automobile part 222 in the stacking and storing cavity; the limiting plate 106 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the position of the sorting spiral head 205, and at least a part of the sorting spiral head 205 penetrating through the through hole can contact the lower surface of the lowermost automobile part 222 in the stacking and storing cavity, so that when not sorted, the sorting spiral head 205 can limit the lowermost automobile part 222 in the stacking and storing cavity, preventing it from directly falling down along the vertically downward direction due to gravity.

[0029] In this embodiment, the driving part 201 is a first driving member 203, which can be selected as a cylinder or a motor; the sorting part 202 comprises a sorting rod 204 and a sorting spiral head 205. Figures 16-18 As shown, the side wall of the sorting spiral head 205 is provided with a spiral groove 206, the spiral groove 206 is communicated with the upper surface of the sorting spiral head 205 at a first position, so that the sorting spiral head 205 forms an inlet end 207 at the first position, and the spiral groove 206 is communicated with the lower surface of the sorting spiral head 205 at a second position, so that the sorting spiral head 205 forms an outlet end 208 at the second position. Further combining Figures 16-18 As shown, the spiral groove 206 is spirally arranged on the side wall of the sorting spiral head 205.

[0030] ​So in the actual working process: the initial state (when not sorting), the upper surface of the sorting spiral head 205 is in contact with the lowest automobile part 222 in the stacking accumulation cavity (note that at this time the automobile part 222 is not located at the feeding end 207 of the upper surface of the sorting spiral head 205). The working state (when sorting, the sorting assembly 2 is signaled by the controller), the first driving member 203 drives the sorting rod 204 to rotate in the third direction to drive the sorting spiral head 205 to rotate in the third direction, when the feeding end 207 of the sorting spiral head 205 rotates to the lowest automobile part 222 in the stacking accumulation cavity, the lowest automobile part 222 in the stacking accumulation cavity can follow the spiral groove 206 and be released from the stacking accumulation cavity through the discharge end 208. When the last automobile part 222 is released, the first driving member 203 drives the sorting rod 204 to rotate in the fourth direction to drive the sorting spiral head 205 to rotate in the fourth direction, so that the upper surface of the sorting spiral head 205 contacts the lower surface of the next automobile part 222.

[0031] It is worth noting that: the above-mentioned third direction refers to the clockwise direction, and when the third direction is clockwise, the fourth direction refers to the counterclockwise direction.

[0032] Further, the same stacking accumulation cavity is configured with two groups of sorting assemblies 2 arranged in the fifth direction, that is, the automobile parts 222 that need to be sorted can be sorted out by the two groups of sorting assemblies 2 arranged in the fifth direction at the same time. The fifth direction of this surface refers to the length direction of the automobile part 222, that is, the two ends of the length direction of the automobile part 222 can be sorted (pulled) out by the sorting assembly 2 at the same time, which ensures the coordination of the automobile part 222 in the length direction and prevents problems such as jamming and incoordination caused by sorting (pulling) only a certain part (point) of the automobile part 222.

[0033] Each group of sorting assemblies 2 has a first driving member 203 and two sorting parts 202, that is, the sorting assemblies 2 in the group are controlled by a first driving member 203 to move two sorting parts 202 at the same time. Such arrangement saves space and cost due to the saving of component arrangement. Specifically, the two sorting parts 202 are arranged on the end faces of the two limiting plates 106 forming the stacking accumulation cavity away from each other; preferably, the two sorting parts 202 in the same group are symmetrically arranged on the end faces of the two limiting plates 106 forming the stacking accumulation cavity away from each other.

[0034] Further, in combination with Figure 11As shown, the first driving member 203 can drive the two sorting spiral heads 205 to rotate simultaneously through the auxiliary member 211, so that the lowest automobile parts 222 in the stacking accumulation cavity can follow the spiral groove 206 and be released from the stacking accumulation cavity through the discharge end 208. Further, still in combination with Figure 11 As shown, the auxiliary member 211 includes a crank and an auxiliary plate 213; wherein the end of the limiting rod 107 away from the sorting spiral head 205 is sleeved with the crank, and the crank is provided with an auxiliary shaft 214 at the end away from the limiting rod 107. Wherein the auxiliary plate 213 is provided with two auxiliary holes 215 extending along the first direction 101 at intervals along the first direction 101, and the two auxiliary shafts 214 are located in the auxiliary holes 215 respectively. Then in the actual use process, the first driving member 203 can drive the auxiliary plate 213 to move along the fifth direction, and when the auxiliary plate 213 moves along the fifth direction, the auxiliary shaft 214 can move along the first direction 101 in the auxiliary hole 215; when the auxiliary shaft 214 moves along the first direction 101 in the auxiliary hole 215, it can drive the limiting rod 107 to rotate, and when the limiting rod 107 rotates, it can drive the sorting spiral head 205 to rotate, thereby sorting out the lowest automobile parts 222 in the stacking accumulation cavity.

[0035] It should be emphasized that: since the two sorting parts 202 are symmetrically arranged on the end faces of the two limiting plates 106 forming the stacking accumulation cavity, and since the two sorting parts 202 are driven by the same first driving member 203, that is, the first driving member 203 can drive the sorting spiral head 205 in one of the sorting parts 202 to move along the clockwise direction, while driving the sorting spiral head 205 in the other sorting part 202 to move along the counterclockwise direction at the same time.

[0036] In this embodiment, another structure of the sorting assembly 2 is provided for the special-shaped automobile parts 222, in combination with Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the driving part 201 is a second driving member 216, preferably a double-output-shaft driving motor, and the sorting part 202 includes a first chain 217 and a limiting block 218.

[0037] Wherein the second driving member 216 has an output shaft extending along the fifth direction, that is, the driving motor has two output shafts extending along the fifth direction, one of which is towards the paper and the other is towards the paper, and both of which are sleeved with a first gear 219. In addition, the fixed plate 221 is also provided with a first gear 219 at the positions corresponding to the two first gears 219.

[0038] The first chain 217 extends along the second direction 103, i.e. extends along the vertical direction, and the two ends of the first chain 217 along the second direction 103 are respectively sleeved on the first gear 219 on the fixed plate 221 and the first gear 219 of the first driving member 203, so that the first gear 219 and the first chain 217 are engaged and transmitted when the first driving member 203 is started.

[0039] The outer side wall of the first chain 217 is provided with a plurality of limiting blocks 218, the distance between adjacent limiting blocks 218 is equal to the distance between adjacent automobile parts 222, and each limiting block 218 can correspond to an automobile part 222. Specifically, each limiting block 218 can be in contact with the lower surface of the automobile part 222.

[0040] Then the actual sorting process is as follows: in the initial state, the upper surface of the limiting block 218 is in contact with the lower surface of the lowest automobile part 222 in the stacking storage cavity.

[0041] In the working state, the second driving member 216 drives the first gear 219 to rotate along the third direction to drive the first chain 217 to rotate along the third direction; when the first chain 217 rotates along the third direction, the limiting block 218 can be driven to rotate along the third direction; when the limiting block 218 rotates along the third direction, the automobile part 222 in the stacking storage cavity which is in contact with the limiting block 218 can be released.

[0042] It should be emphasized that the limiting parts on the first chain 217 near the stacking storage cavity correspond to the automobile parts 222 one by one, so that during the movement of the first chain 217, the lowest limiting block 218 will sort out the lowest automobile part 222, and the second lowest automobile part 222 to be sorted will be conveyed to the lowest position and wait to be sorted (by analogy).

[0043] In this embodiment, in combination with Figure 15 As shown in the figure, the conveying part 301 includes a support frame 304, and the support frame 310 is arranged below the stacking storage assembly 1 and extends along the first direction 101. In other words, a plurality of stacking storage assemblies 1 are placed above the support frame 304.

[0044] Still in combination with Figure 15 As shown in the figure, the conveying part 301 further includes a third driving member 305, which is optionally a driving motor. The driving motor is arranged at one end of the support frame 304 along the first direction 101, and the output end of the driving motor is sleeved with a second gear 306. The end of the support frame 304 away from the third driving member 305 is further provided with a third gear 307.

[0045] Still in combination with Figure 15As shown, the conveying part 301 further comprises a second chain 324, which extends along the first direction 101 and is sleeved on the second gear 306 and the third gear 307 respectively, so that the second chain 324 is in meshing transmission connection with the second gear 306 and the third gear 307.

[0046] In this embodiment, further, in combination with Figure 9 As shown, the receiving part comprises a bottom plate 308, which extends along the fifth direction, and both ends thereof along the fifth direction are provided on the second chain 324 by the fixing members 309.

[0047] In combination with Figure 9 As shown, the receiving part comprises a support frame 310, which is provided on the bottom plate 308 and extends along the vertically upward direction (both ends of the bottom plate 308 along the fifth direction are provided with the support frame 310 by the fixing members 309), and a limiting pin 311 corresponding to the limiting rod 107 is arranged on the support frame 310. Then in the actual use process, when the lowest automobile part 222 in the stacking and storing member 102 is sorted out by the sorting assembly 2, it can directly fall into the support frame 310, that is, both ends of the automobile part 222 along the fifth direction are received by the support frame 310. In addition, since the limiting pin 311 corresponding to the limiting rod 107 is arranged on the support frame 310, when the automobile part 222 falls into the support frame 310, the limiting pin 311 can be inserted into the fixing hole opened on the automobile part 222.

[0048] For the above-mentioned fixing member 309, in combination with Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, it comprises a first fixed plate segment 312 and a second fixed plate segment 313. Among them, the first fixed plate segment 312 is fixedly arranged on the second chain 324, preferably in the form of a bolt, and the first fixed plate segment 312 is fixedly arranged on the second chain 324. In addition, the first fixed plate segment 312 is formed with a floating groove 314 extending along the first direction 101.

[0049] Among them, the second fixed plate segment 313 is floatingly arranged in the floating groove 314 through the pin shaft 315. Specifically, the second fixed plate segment 313 is located in the floating groove 314, and the size of the second fixed plate 221 in the floating groove 314 is smaller than the size of the floating groove 314; the pin shaft 315 sequentially passes through the first edge of the floating groove 314 formed on the first fixed plate segment 312, the second fixed plate segment 313 and the second edge of the floating groove 314 formed on the first fixed plate segment 312 along the first direction 101, so that the second fixed plate segment 313 can be in the floating groove 314, and slightly float (here, the floating means moving) on the pin shaft 315 along the first direction 101, so that the support frame 310 on the bottom plate 308 can accurately receive the automobile part 222 released by the sorting assembly 2.

[0050] In this embodiment, further, as shown in Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 It is shown that the end of the second fixed plate segment 313 away from the bottom plate 308 is provided with a first positioning block 316, and the side of the first positioning block 316 away from the second fixed plate segment 313 is provided with a limiting groove 317. For the positioning part, it includes a fourth driving part 318, which is preferably a motor, and the motor is arranged on both sides of the receiving part along the first direction 101, and the output end of the motor is provided with a second positioning block 319 which can be matched with the first positioning block 316. Then in the positioning process: the fourth driving part 318 can drive the second positioning block 319 to move along the fifth direction, and since the positions of the fourth driving part 318 and the second positioning block 319 are accurate, corresponding to the stacking and accumulating cavities, when the second positioning block 319 is inserted into the first positioning block 316, the positioning of the support frame 310 can be realized, so that the support frame 310 is just located below the stacking and accumulating cavity.

[0051] The limiting groove 317 is preferably a V-shaped groove with two inwardly converging inclined side walls, and the second positioning block 319 is preferably a V-shaped block. When the second positioning block 319 is used to position the limiting groove 317, if the second positioning block 319 corresponds to the limiting groove 317 exactly, the second positioning block 319 can be directly inserted into the limiting groove 317 to realize positioning; if there is a slight gap between the second positioning block 319 and the limiting groove 317, the second positioning block 319 will slowly slide down the inclined side wall of the V-shaped groove to the limiting groove 317, and at the same time, the first positioning block 316 will make a slight movement on the pin shaft 315.

[0052] It should be further emphasized that: below each stacking and accumulating cavity, below the visual detection assembly below, and below the mechanical hand gripping the automobile part 222, a positioning part is arranged to ensure the accuracy of receiving, detecting and grabbing. Specifically, when the receiving part moves to the above-mentioned corresponding station, the fourth driving part 318 drives the second positioning block 319 to move towards the limiting groove 317, and finally realizes the accurate positioning of the limiting groove 317 by using the second positioning block 319; after completing the current operation (receiving the automobile part 222, photographing and detecting the automobile part 222, and taking the automobile part 222), the fourth driving part 318 drives the second positioning block 319 away from the limiting groove 317, so that the second positioning block 319 is separated from the limiting groove 317, and then the receiving part can move along the first direction 101 on the second chain 324 under the driving of the third driving part 305.

[0053] In this embodiment, further, since the receiving part and the sorting assembly 2 are at a distance in the vertical direction, when the automobile parts 222 directly fall from the stacking and depositing cavity, it is easy to cause errors, for example, part of the automobile parts 222 is received by the receiving part, and the other part is not received by the receiving part, so that deviation occurs, and in order to solve this technical problem, in combination with Figure 12 As shown in the figure, the receiving part and the stacking and depositing assembly 1 are further provided with a supporting part 320, and the supporting part 320 includes a supporting tray 321 corresponding to the stacking and depositing cavity. Specifically, the supporting tray 321 corresponds to the two ends of the automobile parts 222 along the first direction 101, respectively.

[0054] Specifically, the supporting tray 321 is formed with a supporting groove 322 (the supporting groove 322 is matched with the shape of the end of the automobile parts 222 along the first direction 101). In addition, the supporting part 320 further includes a lifting motor 323, and the output end of the lifting motor 323 is connected with the supporting tray 321, and the lifting motor 323 can drive the supporting tray 321 to move along the second direction 103 and the direction opposite to the second direction 103 (i.e. the lifting motor 323 can drive the supporting tray 321 to move along the vertically upward direction or the vertically downward direction). When the lifting motor 323 drives the supporting tray 321 to move along the direction opposite to the second direction 103 to the lower side of the stacking and depositing cavity, the distance between the stacking and depositing cavity and the supporting tray 321 is reduced, so that the automobile parts 222 released by the sorting assembly 2 can be accurately supported. After the supporting tray 321 supports the automobile parts 222, the lifting motor 323 drives the supporting tray 321 to move along the vertically downward direction, and transfers the supported automobile parts 222 to the receiving part.

[0055] For the above-mentioned "transferring the supported automobile parts 222 to the receiving part", the specific structure and process are as follows: in structure, the supporting tray 321 and the receiving part are arranged in the fifth direction, specifically: the supporting tray 321 is arranged on the outer side of the receiving part, that is, in the supporting process, the supporting tray 321 only supports the most end of the automobile parts 222 along the first direction 101, and does not cover the fixing hole opened on the automobile parts 222, so when the lifting motor 323 drives the supporting tray 321 to descend, until the limiting pin 311 on the receiving part is inserted into the fixing hole on the automobile parts 222, the automobile parts 222 can be transferred to the receiving part.

[0056] In this embodiment, further, in combination with Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the multi-model part stacking and depositing automatic sorting and conveying system further includes a visual detection assembly close to the second station and forming a third station, and the visual detection assembly includes a camera 4, a controller and an image analyzer which are communicatively connected.

[0057] Specifically, when the conveying part 301 with the automobile part 222 passes through the third station, the camera 4 is used to take a photo of the conveyed automobile part 222 to form an image signal; The image signal is transmitted to an image analyzer through the controller, and the image analyzer is used to analyze whether the conveyed image signal is the same as the required automobile part 222. If yes, it means that the conveying is correct, and the controller controls the third driving part 305 to continue to start, so that the automobile part 222 is conveyed to the outlet position. If no, it means that the conveying is incorrect, and the controller generates an alarm signal, which needs to be checked manually. The features of the examples described herein can be combined in various ways as will be apparent after the disclosure of the present application is understood. In addition, although the examples described herein have various configurations, other configurations are possible as will be apparent after the disclosure of the present application is understood.
