The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0029] Below, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods, the utility model is further described:

[0030] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a profiling positioning device comprises a roller table main body 1, wherein the roller table main body 1 comprises a roller table frame 2, and a roller assembly 3 arranged on the roller table frame 2, wherein the roller assembly 3 is used to drive the workpiece to move from the feeding side of the roller table frame 2 to the discharging side, and the roller table main body 1 further comprises a roller driving assembly 4 for driving the roller assembly 3 to rotate;

[0031] A contour positioning mechanism 5 for correcting and positioning the workpiece position is arranged above the discharge side of the roller frame 2, and a lifting mechanism 6 for lifting the workpiece after position correction is arranged below;

[0032] The profiling positioning mechanism 5 includes a front profiling positioning plate 51, a right profiling positioning component 52 and a left profiling positioning component 53 connected to the roller frame 2.

The front profiling positioning plate 51 is located at the end of the discharge side of the roller frame 2 and is used to correct the front and rear positions of the workpiece on the roller body 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, during operation, the workpiece is moved from the feeding side to the discharging side of the roller frame 2 under the drive of the rotation of the roller assembly 3. After the workpiece flows into the profiling positioning area, the front and rear positions of the workpiece relative to the roller frame 2 are first corrected by the front profiling positioning plate 51 (the roller drive assembly stops driving at this time). After completion, the right profiling positioning assembly 52 and the left profiling positioning assembly 53 are synchronously driven to correct the left and right positions of the workpiece relative to the roller frame 2, thereby completing the position correction and positioning of the workpiece; after the profiling positioning is completed, the right profiling positioning assembly 52 and the left profiling positioning assembly 53 are reset, and then the lifting mechanism 6 located under the roller frame 2 is driven to lift the workpiece and suspend it above the roller assembly 3, and then the robot grabs the workpiece according to the set requirements; after the workpiece is grabbed, the lifting mechanism 6 is reset; then the roller drive assembly is started, and the profiling positioning mechanism 5 repeats the above actions.

[0034] The above structure, by arranging a contour positioning mechanism 5 and a lifting mechanism 6 on the discharge side of the roller body 1, lifts the workpiece after accurately correcting its position before grasping it, thereby improving the accuracy and success rate of the robot's grasping of the workpiece, ensuring the normal operation of the production line, and improving the quality of the workpiece.
