[0021] See also Figure 2 Specifically, the tray base 100 in this embodiment is a square tray base 100, which includes four side panels 120 connected end to end, and the center of the wall surface of the four side panels 120 is inwardly concave to form an arc-shaped positioning groove 160. It should be noted that, refer to Figure 3The conveying line of the transmission bearing in this embodiment adopts a conveying structure in which multiple line bodies 300 are connected front and back. Each line body 300 is provided with an upper and lower cylinder 330. The design of the arc-shaped positioning groove 160 allows the output end of the upper and lower cylinders 330 on the line body 300 to extend into the arc-shaped positioning groove 160 when the bearing tray reaches the detection position 310, and then the tray is supported, so that the bearing tray can reach the detection position 310 and be limited to a certain extent, ensuring the accurate positioning and stable fixation of the tray, which is convenient for the subsequent robot to grasp and place the bearing. It should also be noted that the arc-shaped positioning grooves 160 are provided at the four side panels 120 to ensure that the placement position of the bearing tray on the line body 300 does not need to be unique. When checking, the upper and lower cylinders 330 only need to support the arc-shaped positioning groove 160 located at that position.

[0022] See also Figure 1 Preferably, in this embodiment, the L-shaped limit baffle 200 and the mechanical gripper groove 130 are both set to 3, and the angle between the central axes of the horizontal plates 230 of the two L-shaped limit baffles 200 in the length direction is 120 degrees, and the angle between the central axes of the two mechanical gripper grooves 130 in the length direction is 120 degrees.

[0023] It should be noted that in the existing design, most of the manipulators on the production line use three-claw manipulators. When the bearing reaches the detection position 310, the three claws of the three-claw manipulator extend into the mechanical gripper groove 130 respectively, and then the three-claw manipulator is lifted vertically. At this time, the three claws of the three-claw manipulator grab the bottom surface of the bearing respectively, and continue to lift to grab the bearing from the bearing tray.
