[0035] Furthermore, the output ends of the tray-feeding cylinder 10 and the tray-pushing cylinder 6 extend in directions perpendicular to each other;

[0036] When working, this will enable accurate coordination and pushing of the empty chassis.

[0037] Working principle: When in use, place the lighter on the feeding conveyor belt 1, and drive the feeding servo motor 13 to make the feeding conveyor belt 1 run, so that the lighter can be transported to the position of the feeding positioning 3, so that the transverse cylinder 5 cooperates with the insert plate lifting cylinder 9 to drive the material picking mechanical component 2 to move horizontally and vertically, and the contraction cylinder 203 and the opening cylinder 204 can control the grabbing of the grabbing fingers 202, and can adjust the interval between the grabbing fingers 202. At the same time, the grabbing can be active both horizontally and vertically, and can adapt to different lighters. After grabbing the lighter, move the lighter to the insert plate position The output end of the tray lifting cylinder 9 drives the material taking mechanical assembly 2 to move downward, so that the lighter is plugged into the chassis. After a single plugging, the operation is repeated, and the step-pitch pushing cylinder 8 is set, and the chassis can be pushed to move one unit position after a single plugging, thereby reciprocating to fill the chassis. When the chassis is fully plugged, the step-pitch pushing cylinder 8 can push the chassis to the discharge material channel 11 for the last time for transportation. When there is no chassis in the plug-in area, the tray feeding cylinder 10 pushes the bottom layer of the stacked chassis inside the tray warehouse 4 to the front of the tray pushing cylinder 6, and then the tray pushing cylinder 6 pushes it to the plug-in area, so that the chassis replacement is automatically completed.
