[0002] With the gradual increase in labor costs, production and processing automation is an inevitable trend. At present, the automation of processing modules has become more and more mature, such as general-purpose CNC machining centers and various special-purpose machine tools. In order to improve processing efficiency and adapt to the processing of complex parts, the application of multi-station processing equipment is becoming more and more extensive. For example, the Chinese invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN 115592474B submitted by the applicant discloses a multi-station processing equipment and processing method. By rotating the fixture seat, the conversion between multiple stations can be realized to complete each processing process, which has the advantage of high production efficiency.

[0003] However, due to the variety of product types, it is difficult to standardize the automated loading operation of product blanks. The irregular cross-section products targeted by this application refer to product blanks that are uniform in the axial direction and shaped in the circumferential direction, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The figure shows a type of irregular cross-section product, where 01 is the cross section and 02 is the side. It can be an independently cast blank or cut from a long bar. For product blanks with irregular cross sections, there is a common problem that the posture is difficult to determine during the feeding process. However, when loading, they need to be fed into the processing module in a specific posture to ensure reliable and accurate clamping and positioning, and to ensure smooth processing. This poses a greater challenge to the automated design of the loading operation. Therefore, the purpose of this application is to provide a posture adjustment module for a specific product type with irregular cross sections, so as to create conditions for the precise loading of blanks.

The transfer robot is used to drive the negative pressure chuck to clamp the blank at the circumferential adjustment station and transfer it to the lateral positioning groove.

[0007] Due to the irregular cross-section of the blank, the circumferential adjustment component drives the blank to adjust to a specific direction by rotation for circumferential positioning. Then the transfer component transfers the blank to the lateral positioning groove. The lateral pressing mechanism pushes the blank to move laterally and cooperates with the lateral positioning groove for precise lateral positioning. The visual inspection component is used to collect the circumferential posture of the blank on the turntable to provide a basis for circumferential adjustment.
