Specifically, four columns are protruding above the button positioning block 10, and the four columns correspond to the four holes on the button one by one, so as to position the button. The lower end of the rotating block 9 is fixedly connected with a second magnetic block 11 corresponding to the first magnetic block 7. The placement of the buttons can be operated by a button automatic conveying mechanism, which will not be described in detail here.

[0023] First, when the swing arm mechanism transports the button on the button positioning block 10 to the bottom of the image collector 3, the image collector 3 takes a photo, confirms the direction of the button by the degree of recognition, and then compares it with the set template to find out the angle of difference, and compensates this angle to the PLC controller 20, and starts the lifting cylinder 5 to extend and lift the lifting plate 6 until the first magnetic block 7 and the second magnetic block 11 are adsorbed and fixed, and then the rotary adjustment mechanism can drive the button on the button positioning block 10 to rotate to a fixed position for automatic alignment. After alignment, the lifting cylinder 5 contracts and drives the lifting plate 6 to move downward, so that the first magnetic block 7 is separated from the second magnetic block 11. At this time, the swing mechanism sends the button to the sewing machine to complete the buttoning, which has a high degree of automation, saves manpower, and has accurate alignment to ensure processing quality.

[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown: the rotation adjustment mechanism includes a round shell 12 fixedly inserted on the side wall of the jacking plate 6, a rotating motor 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the round shell 12, the main shaft end of the rotating motor 13 passes through the round shell 12 and is fixedly connected to a bevel gear 14, a rotating cylinder 15 is inserted and rotatably connected to the upper side of the round shell 12, a bevel gear ring 16 meshing with the bevel gear 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder 15, and the first magnetic block 7 is fixed to the upper surface of the rotating cylinder 15.

[0025] By starting the rotating motor 13, the bevel gear 14 is meshed with the bevel gear ring 16, thereby driving the rotating cylinder 15 to rotate. The first magnetic block 7 and the second magnetic block 11 are adsorbed and fixed, thereby driving the button on the button positioning block 10 to rotate, and the alignment adjustment is performed, the operation is stable, the adjustment is precise, and the processing quality is improved.

[0026] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, a first circular hole is opened on the upper side of the circular shell 12, and the first circular hole is rotatably connected to the rotating cylinder 15 through a bearing ring, so that the rotating cylinder 15 can rotate stably.

[0027] Specifically, the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 15 and the inner wall of the helical gear ring 16 are fixedly connected by welding, and the connection is firm.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown: the swing arm mechanism includes a concave frame 17 fixed on the upper side of the workbench 1, a servo motor 18 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the concave frame 17, the spindle end of the servo motor 18 passes through the inner side of the concave frame 17 and is fixedly connected to a swing arm 19, and one end of the swing arm 19 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 8.

[0029] By starting the servo motor 18, the swing arm 19 can be driven to rotate, thereby transporting the buttons on the button positioning block 10 to just below the image collector 3. When the buttons are aligned, they are transported to the sewing machine to complete buttoning, which has a high degree of automation and saves manpower.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown: a second through hole is opened on the upper side of the mounting plate 8, and the second through hole is rotatably connected to the rotating block 9 through a damping bearing, so as to prevent the rotating block 9 from rotating when there is no external force.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown: a PLC controller 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 2, and the PLC controller 20 is electrically connected to the image collector 3, the lifting cylinder 5, the rotation adjustment mechanism and the swing arm mechanism respectively, so as to control the coordinated work between the various components. The control method is a prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown: the positioning mechanism includes a positioning plate 21 fixed on the inner wall of the mounting slot box 4, two positioning slots 22 are provided on one side of the positioning plate 21, the inner bottom walls of the two positioning slots 22 are slidably connected with L-shaped slide rods 23, and one end of the two L-shaped slide rods 23 are fixedly connected to the lifting plate 6.

[0033] When the image collector 3 is displaced, the L-shaped slide bar 23 is driven to slide in the positioning slide groove 22 , which can support and stabilize the displacement of the lifting plate 6 .

[0034] When using the device to automatically align buttons, first, place the button on the button positioning block 10, start the servo motor 18 to drive the swing arm 19 to rotate, and then transport the button on the button positioning block 10 to the bottom of the image collector 3. The image collector 3 takes a photo, confirms the direction of the button by the degree of recognition, and then compares it with the previously set template to compare the difference angle, and compensates this angle to the PLC controller 20, starts the lifting cylinder 5 to work and extend the lifting plate 6 until the first magnetic block 7 and the second magnetic block 11 are adsorbed and fixed, and then Finally, the rotating motor 13 is started, and the bevel gear 14 is meshed with the bevel gear ring 16, thereby driving the rotating cylinder 15 to rotate. The first magnetic block 7 and the second magnetic block 11 are adsorbed and fixed, thereby driving the buttons on the button positioning block 10 to rotate to a fixed position for automatic alignment. After alignment, the lifting cylinder 5 contracts and drives the lifting plate 6 to move downward, so that the first magnetic block 7 is separated from the second magnetic block 11. At this time, the swing mechanism sends the buttons to the sewing machine to complete the buttoning. This operation can be repeated, with a high degree of automation, saving manpower, and accurate alignment, thereby ensuring the processing quality.
