Both sides of the slideway 9 are provided with an inclination angle of 2°. A plurality of protrusions are provided at the bottom of the slideway 9. The height of the protrusions is 0.4-0.6mm, preferably 0.5mm, so that the product entering the slideway 9 will not get stuck. A product sensor 10 is provided at the rear end of the slide 9 near the frame 2, and a pitch-changing mechanism 11 is provided on the outer wall of the slide 9 on the other side of the support frame 1, wherein the pitch-changing mechanism 11 includes a shaft and a plurality of cam grooves, preferably 7 cam grooves, which are installed on the shaft, and a cam is installed on the cam groove; the rear end of the slide 9 is a U-shaped opening, and when the product enters the slide 9, a part of its features will be exposed at the U-shaped opening, but the main body of the product is still in the slide 9, and the lifting cylinder 12 provided at the bottom of the pitch-changing mechanism 11 will push the product out of the slide 9 along the U-shaped opening, and the product will move from the slide 9 to the pitch-changing mechanism 11, and when the cam in the pitch-changing mechanism 11 rotates 180° along with the shaft, the product in the cam groove changes its pitch at the same time, and then rotates 180°, and then the cam returns to the starting point to enter the next cycle.

[0017] The support frame 1 in the utility model is symmetrically provided with a first fixed rod 13 and a second fixed rod 14, the first fixed rod 13 is provided with a working material frame left positioning 15 and an empty material frame left positioning 16, the second fixed rod 14 is provided with a working material frame right positioning 17 and an empty material frame right positioning 18 corresponding to the working material frame left positioning 15 and the empty material frame left positioning 16, a plurality of belt conveyor lines 19 are provided between the first fixed rod 13 and the second fixed rod 14, a plurality of material frames 20 are conveyed on the belt conveyor lines 19, and material frame in-place sensors 21 are symmetrically provided at the rear ends of the first fixed rod 13 and the second fixed rod 14; wherein The working material frame left positioning 15 and the working material frame right positioning 17 first position and clamp an empty material frame 20 to hold the product, and then use the empty material frame left positioning 16 and the empty material frame right positioning 18 to clamp and position another empty material frame 20 and intercept other empty material frames 20 behind. After the linear module 3 fills the empty material frame 20 that is first positioned and clamped by the working material frame left positioning 15 and the working material frame right positioning 17 and releases it, after the material frame in place sensor 21 is raised, release the other empty material frame 20 clamped and positioned by the empty material frame left positioning 16 and the empty material frame right positioning 18, and flow in sequence.

[0019] The use process of the utility model is as follows:

[0020] When the product (cylindrical lithium battery) enters the slide 9, the product sensor 10 will read a fixed number of products in turn and send information. After receiving the signal, the lifting cylinder 12 will eject the pitch-changing mechanism 11. After the ejection is in place, the pitch-changing mechanism 11 starts to change the pitch. After the pitch change is completed, the Z-axis cylinder 5 drops to the working position, and the finger cylinder 7 starts to move to clamp the product. After the product is clamped in place, the Z-axis cylinder 5 rises with the product, and after the product is rotated 90° under the action of the rotating cylinder 6, the linear module 3 starts to move to the designated position, the Z-axis cylinder 5 drops, the finger cylinder 7 releases the product, and the Z-axis cylinder 5 rises and resets. At this time, the framing of a group of products is completed. There are 30 designated positions in the material frame 20. Repeating the above actions 30 times can fill the material frame 20.

[0021] When the material frame 20 is full, the material frame in-place sensor 21 drops, and the working material frame left positioning 15 and the working material frame right positioning 17 release the full material frame 20 at the same time. The full material frame 20 moves to the tail of the belt conveyor line 19 under the action of the belt conveyor line 19. At this time, the material frame in-place sensor 21 rises, and the empty material frame left positioning 16 and the empty material frame right positioning 18 are released. The subsequent empty material frame 20 moves to the position of the material frame in-place sensor 21 under the transportation of the belt conveyor line 19 and triggers the sensor. At this time, the working material frame right positioning 17 and the empty material frame left positioning 16 clamp the empty material frame 20 at the same time, and the empty material frame 20 starts to hold the product. At the same time as the material frame 20 is positioned, the empty material frame left positioning 16 and the empty material frame right positioning 18 also start to move and clamp the next empty material frame 20. At this time, the empty material frame 20 is filled and transported away, and the next empty material frame 20 is connected to continue the cyclic transportation of the product.

[0022] Other unexplained parts of the present invention are the same as those of the prior art.
