The first supporting plate 322 is connected to the first operating part 3341 through the first fixing plate 345, and the slide plate 332 is connected to the second operating part 3342 through the second fixing plate 346. The operation of the belt 34 drives the first supporting plate 322 and the slide plate 332 to move toward each other, that is, the first supporting plate 322 and the second supporting plate 333 move toward each other.

[0042] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, preferably, a guide assembly is arranged between the slide plate 332 and the second supporting plate 333, and the guide assembly includes a guide rod 347 and a guide sleeve 348 that cooperate with each other. In this embodiment, a plurality of guide rods 348 are arranged at the bottom of the second supporting plate 333, and a plurality of guide sleeves 347 are arranged at the corresponding positions of the slide plate 332.

A connecting plate 43 is slidably arranged on the transfer slide 42, and a transfer driving member 44 is connected to one side of the connecting plate 43, and the connecting plate 43 is driven to slide by the action of the transfer driving member 44. A lifting driving member 45 is arranged on the connecting plate 43, and the output end of the lifting driving member 45 is downward, and is connected to a pneumatic clamp 46, and the pneumatic clamp 46 is driven to rise and fall by the lifting driving member 45 to realize the action of picking and placing the parts.

[0046] Working principle:

[0047] In this embodiment, in the first feeding module 2, the vibration plate 21 vibrates to feed the materials, and the components are vibrated and arranged in the material guide channel 22. Under the action of the straight vibrator 23, the material guide channel 22 vibrates the components to fall into the receiving groove 243 on the dividing plate 242. The in-position sensor 245 detects the components, and the dividing drive 244 pushes the dividing plate to slide. The receiving groove 243 and the discharge end of the material guide channel 22 are misaligned with each other, and the dividing plate 242 blocks the material guide channel 22 from continuing to discharge the materials.

[0048] In the second loading module 3, the first supporting plate 322 is located at the loading end of the transmission bracket 31, and the second supporting plate 333 is located at the processing end of the transmission bracket 31 close to the transfer module 4. The operator places the first loading fixture 51 on the first supporting plate 322, and the second supporting plate 333 is in an unloaded state. Then, the rotating motor 341 is activated to drive the belt 344 to rotate, and the first supporting plate 322 follows the first running part 3441 of the belt 344 to slide along the first slide rail 321 toward the processing end, and at the same time, the slide plate 332 follows the second running part 3442 of the belt 344 to slide along the second slide rail 331 in the opposite direction toward the upper feeding end. While the slide plate 332 slides, it pushes the push rod 334, and the roller 335 at the lower end of the push rod 334 rolls downward along the guide groove 337, and the second supporting plate 333 at the upper end of the push rod 334 moves downward synchronously first. When the second supporting plate 333 moves to the lowest position, the second supporting plate 333 is located below the first supporting plate 322, avoiding the first supporting plate 322. Then the first supporting plate 322 continues to slide toward the processing end, and the push rod 334 continues to move upward along the guide groove 337, and the second supporting plate 333 moves upward synchronously, and the second supporting plate 333 and the first supporting plate 322 are interlaced with each other, and the second supporting plate 333 is transferred to the feeding end, and the first supporting plate 322 is transferred to the processing end.

[0049] The pneumatic clamp 46 is located above the material dividing plate 242, and the lifting drive 45 drives the pneumatic clamp 46 to descend. After the pneumatic clamp 46 clamps the component, the lifting drive 45 drives the pneumatic clamp 46 to rise, and the transfer drive 44 is actuated to drive the pneumatic clamp 46 to move along the transfer slide 42 to above the transmission bracket 31, and the lifting drive 45 drives the pneumatic clamp 46 to descend, and installs the component into the product on the first material carrier 51, completing the assembly of the product and the component. At the same time, the operator places the second material carrier 52 to be assembled on the second support plate 333.

[0050] The rotating motor 341 continues to rotate in the opposite direction, the belt 344 rotates in the opposite direction, and the first supporting plate 322 drives the first loading fixture 51 to flow back to the loading end on the first slide rail 321, and the first loading fixture is manually removed and reloaded. At the same time, the second supporting plate 333 drives the second loading fixture 52 to continue to descend first and then rise, and move in the opposite direction to the processing end, and continue to complete the assembly action of the product on the second loading fixture 52. The loading action and the assembly action are performed synchronously, which effectively improves the work efficiency.
