The cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 5 is fixedly installed on the fixed plate 505, and the telescopic end is fixedly installed with a lifting plate 501. A vertical slider 502 is provided on the inside of the lifting plate 501. The vertical slider 502 slides with the vertical guide rail 506, and the lifting cylinder 5 pushes the lifting plate 501 along the vertical guide rail 50 6 moves up and down, and a transverse guide rail 503 is provided on the outside of the lifting plate 501; the cylinder body of the pushing cylinder 3 is fixedly mounted on the lifting plate 501, and the telescopic end is fixedly mounted on the pushing plate 301, and a transverse slider 305 is provided on the inside of the pushing plate 301, and the transverse slider 305 slides with the transverse guide rail 503, and the pushing cylinder 3 pushes the pushing plate 301 to move horizontally along the transverse guide rail 503; the cylinder body of the baffle cylinder 4 is fixedly mounted on the pushing plate 301, and the telescopic end is fixedly mounted on the baffle plate 401, and the baffle cylinder 4 pushes the baffle plate 401 to move horizontally; the pushing cylinder 3, the baffle cylinder 4 and the lifting cylinder 5 are respectively connected to the controller 7, and the controller 7 is also connected to the induction switch 6, which is installed at the front end of the baffle cylinder 4.

[0042] The loading process is roughly as follows: a number of workpieces to be loaded are placed in the vibration plate 1, and the start switch is pressed; the workpieces will move with the vibration of the vibration plate 1, and will be gradually arranged in an orderly and directional manner and output to the straight slide 201 to form a straight line; then, under the vibration of the linear vibrator 2, they are transported forward along the straight slide 201, and the workpieces arrive at the profiling groove 302 on the push plate 301 in turn; for the convenience of description, the first workpiece to enter the profiling groove 302 is called pipe A, the induction switch 6 captures the signal of pipe A, and transmits the signal to the controller 7, the controller 7 makes a judgment based on the signal, and issues a command to the push cylinder 3; the push cylinder 3 pushes the belt The push plate 301 with the pipe A extends horizontally to a certain position along the transverse guide rail 503; the mechanical gripper claw of the next process comes over to clamp the pipe A; the baffle cylinder 4 retracts, the baffle plate 401 leaves the profiling groove 302, and the robot takes away the pipe A; the push cylinder 3 retracts, the profiling groove 302 returns to the front end of the straight slide 201, the baffle cylinder 4 extends again, and the baffle plate 401 blocks the profiling groove 302; the next workpiece in the straight slide 201 falls into the profiling groove 302 again; the induction switch 6 located at the front end of the baffle cylinder 4 captures the signal again, and the push cylinder 3 is pushed out again, and the above actions are repeated to complete the loading work in cooperation with the mechanical gripper.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of pipe A has an upper notch 901, with a rib 902 below it. The contoured groove 302 is equipped with an inwardly protruding upper retainer 303 and a middle retainer 304. This contoured groove 302 mimics the shape of pipe A, effectively positioning pipe A and improving the overall accuracy of the loading process. This contoured groove 302 can accommodate workpieces of various lengths with similar upper ends to pipe A. After a workpiece enters the contoured groove 302, the lifting cylinder 5 raises or lowers the lifting plate 501, causing the other components on the lifting plate 501 to move with it. This changes the height of the pusher plate 301 to accommodate the operating height of the mechanical gripper in the next process step. In other words, the up and down movement of the lifting plate 501, by changing the relative position of the pusher plate 301, allows the loading mechanism to accommodate pipes of various lengths, enhancing its practicality.

Any person skilled in the art may utilize the above disclosure to modify or remodel the present invention into equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modification, equivalent variation, or modification of the above embodiment that does not depart from the technical content of the present invention and is based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
