[0040] The storage rail 200 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane. The storage rail 200 is provided with a receiving groove for the workpieces 1 to be placed in sequence, and a lower end of the storage rail 200 is connected to the bottom plate 100 .
[0041] In this embodiment, the lower end of the storage rail 200 is connected to the upper end surface of the bottom plate 100 through a bracket, and the bracket is used to keep the storage rail 200 at a certain height relative to the bottom plate 100.
[0042] The first power assembly is disposed on the bottom plate 100 and is capable of pushing the workpiece 1 located at the bottom of the storage guide rail 200 out of the receiving groove.
[0043] It can be understood that the first power component is arranged on the base plate 100 and is located on one side of the storage guide rail 200. The first power component can move in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the storage guide rail 200 to make the workpiece 1 located at the bottom of the storage guide rail 200 detach from the receiving groove, and after the workpiece 1 detaches from the receiving groove, the remaining workpieces 1 slide down along the extension direction of the receiving groove under the action of gravity until the bottom workpiece 1 is attached to the bottom of the storage guide rail 200.

[0045] It should be noted that the flipping block 400 is fixed to the bottom plate 100 , and the height of the flipping block 400 is slightly lower than the height of the lower end of the storage rail 200 , so that the workpiece 1 after passing through the receiving groove can fall into the flipping block 400 and flip.
[0046] The second power assembly is provided with a pushing member 510 capable of pushing the turned workpiece 1 horizontally to move along the guide groove 410 .
[0047] Specifically, the storage guide rail 200 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the workpieces 1 placed in sequence in the accommodating cavity of the storage guide rail 200 slide toward the bottom of the storage guide rail 200 under the action of gravity. The first power component can push the workpiece 1 located at the bottom of the storage guide rail 200 out of the accommodating cavity to the flipping block 400. The inclined workpiece 1 flips after contacting the flipping block 400, and continues to move along the guide groove 410 of the flipping block 400 to the subsequent workstation under the push of the pushing member 510, thereby realizing automatic flipping and transportation of parts, achieving warehouse automation while avoiding damage to the parts.

[0050] In addition, a light source camera can be added to the storage rail 200 according to actual needs. The light source camera can be used to observe the number of workpieces 1 on the storage rail 200 in real time, and then the staff can be reminded to replenish the workpieces 1 according to the number of workpieces 1. The impact force when the workpiece 1 slides can be calculated according to the number, and the angle between the storage rail 200 and the horizontal plane can be adjusted.
[0051] Preferably, the first power assembly includes a first cylinder 310 and a push rod 320, the output end of the first cylinder 310 is connected to the push rod 320, and the end of the push rod 320 facing away from the first cylinder 310 can contact the workpiece 1 to make the workpiece 1 escape from the receiving groove.

The support block makes the first power assembly correspond to the height of the workpiece 1 located at the bottom of the storage guide rail 200. The output end of the first cylinder 310 is connected to the push rod 320 for pushing the workpiece 1. The first cylinder 310 extends, and the push rod 320 pushes the corresponding workpiece 1 out of the receiving groove and moves to the flipping block 400.
