[0056] Among them, when the material 10 in the incoming posture passes through the guide channel 122 and is placed in the limiting groove 101, the material 10 is located between the limiting block 130 and the lever 140. When the limiting block 130 limits the second end of the material 10 and under the guidance of the guide channel 122, the lever 140 pushes the first end of the material 10 toward the limiting rod 111 along the second direction to make the material 10 flip over to the feeding posture. Exemplarily, the lever 140 can push the periphery of the first end of the material 10.

[0057] Exemplarily, the steps of the material 10 posture conversion device to flip the material 10 are as follows: first, the first end of the material 10 in the incoming posture is passed through the guide channel 122 and placed in the limit groove 101, and then the flip driving member 150 is controlled to drive the lever 140 to move toward the limit rod 111 along the second direction, and the lever 140 pushes the first end of the material 10. Under the limitation of the second end of the material 10 by the limit block 130 and the guidance of the guide channel 122, the material 10 flips toward the lever 140 and rests on the lever 140; finally, the flip driving member 150 controls the lever 140 to reset, and the material 10 slides on the lever 140 and remains in the feeding posture, automatically completing the flip conversion of the material 10 from the incoming posture to the feeding posture. Without changing the structure of the tray 300, the assembly efficiency is effectively improved, the stability of the material 10 in the tray 300 is guaranteed, and the cost is saved. In addition, the material 10 in the feeding posture can be positioned along the second direction through the limiting groove 101, so as to be suitable for positioning transfer or grabbing.

[0058] Exemplarily, the material 10 may be a coil component of a low-voltage electrical appliance, the incoming posture of the coil component refers to the coil component being placed in a vertical state, and the feeding posture of the coil component refers to the coil component being placed in a horizontal state.

[0059] Exemplarily, the fork plate 121 is extended along the second direction, that is, the guide channel 122 is rectangular, and at least a portion of the material 10 maintained in the feeding posture is located in the guide channel 122. The setting of the guide channel 122 can make the horizontal orientation of the material 10 maintained in the feeding posture consistent.

[0060] For example, at least one limiting fork 120 and a lever 140 may be provided on the conveyor 110, for example, two limiting forks 120 spaced apart along the second direction and two levers 140 spaced apart along the second direction, and the limiting forks 120 and the levers 140 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence.

Furthermore, the limiting fork 120 is connected to a lifting driving member 160, and the lifting driving member 160 is used to drive the limiting fork 120 to move up and down. The up and down movement refers to the reciprocating movement along the third direction. In this embodiment, after the material 10 completes the side-over conversion from the incoming posture to the feeding posture on the incoming conveyor belt 112, first, the lifting driving member 160 is controlled to drive the limiting fork 120 to move upward, and the material 10 is separated from the guide channel 122; then the incoming conveyor belt 112 is controlled to convey the material 10, so that the material 10 is away from the limiting fork 120.

[0063] Exemplarily, taking the material 10 as a coil part of a low-voltage electrical appliance, the incoming material conveyor belt 112 can convey the material 10 to a workstation suitable for the incoming material assembly device (not shown) to grasp the material 10, effectively avoiding interference between the incoming material assembly device and the limiting fork 120 when grasping the material 10. Among them, the incoming material assembly device can assemble the grasped material 10 into the housing of the low-voltage electrical appliance. In a feasible embodiment, the incoming material assembly device may include a robotic arm and a material 10 clamp provided on the robotic arm.

[0067] Exemplarily, the limiting rod 111 extends along the first direction to the end of the guide bar 170 facing away from the limiting fork 120. Further, the conveying platform 110 is further provided with a guide rod 180 arranged side by side in a one-to-one correspondence with the limiting rod 111, and the guide rod 180 and the guide bar 170 are located on the same side of the limiting fork 120 along the first direction. The material 10 is transferred between the guide rod 180 and the limiting rod 111, which can further prevent the material 10 from being skewed during the transfer process.
