The telescopic shaft of the feeding driver 1.2 is provided with a moving plate 1.4. The moving plate 1.4 is provided with a feeding groove 1.41 corresponding to the feeding port 1.31. The moving plate 1.4 is in sliding fit with the connecting plate 1.3. The cooperation of the mounting base 1.1 and the feeding driver 1.2 can ensure the stable movement of the moving plate 1.4. The cooperation of the provided feeding port 1.31 and the feeding groove 1.41 can realize the transfer of the switching workpiece by driving the moving plate 1.4 to move through the feeding driver 1.2. A first sliding rail 1.5 is arranged along the circumferential direction of the feeding driver 1.2 on the mounting base 1.1. The moving plate 1.4 is provided with a first sliding block 1.6 that cooperates with the first sliding rail 1.5. The cooperation of the first sliding rail 1.5 and the first sliding block 1.6 can further ensure the stability of the feeding driver 1.2 driving the moving plate 1.4 to move horizontally.

[0032] The material transfer component 2 of the present utility model further includes a connecting seat 2.1 and a lifting driver 2.5. The translation driver 2.3 is fixed to the connecting seat 2.1. The telescopic shaft of the translation driver 2.3 is fixed to the translation plate 2.4. The lifting driver 2.5 is fixed to the translation plate 2.4. The telescopic shaft of the lifting driver 2.5 is fixed with a lifting plate 2.6. The clamping jaws 2.2 are vertically arranged and are rotationally matched with the lifting plate 2.6.

[0033] To ensure the detection reliability of the detection rod 4.4, a fixing rod 4.2 is vertically arranged on the fixing base 4.1. The detection rod 4.4 is movably sleeved outside the fixing rod 4.2. A return spring 4.6 is sleeved outside the fixing rod 4.2 to provide an upward return force for the detection rod 4.4.

At this time, the lifting driver 2.5 drives the mounting seat 1.1 to move downward, and then the gripper 2.2 moves downward. If the workpiece is in the correct orientation at this time, the detection rod 4.4 is inserted into the workpiece, and the detection rod 4.4 will not move up and down. When the workpiece is in the incorrect orientation, as the gripper 2.2 moves downward, the proximity switch 4.3 will detect that the detection rod 4.4 is pressed downward. At this time, the orientation component 3 works, and the commutation driver 3.1 drives the gripper 2.2 to rotate, and the workpiece rotates accordingly. When the workpiece rotates to the correct reverse orientation, the detection rod 4.4 moves upward and is inserted into the workpiece. At this time, the proximity switch 4.3 will detect that the detection ring 4.5 is reset.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that the feeding component 1 can be provided with the material transfer components 2 on both sides. The material transfer components 2 are both provided with the orientation components 3 and the detection components 4 corresponding to the orientation components 3. The two material transfer components 2 and the corresponding orientation components 3 and detection components can achieve high-efficiency orientation feeding.

The material suction component 5 includes a suction head 5.2 and a hollow suction rod 5.1. The suction head 5.2 is provided with a plurality of adsorption holes 5.3 communicated with the suction rod 5.1, and the other end of the suction rod 5.1 is connected with a suction pipe. The material suction component 5 can adsorb and pick up the workpiece after the orientation is completed, and is transferred to the next process along with the horizontal movement of the moving plate 1.4, improving the processing efficiency.
