Manually adjusting the direction of the carbide cutting tool is cumbersome, laborious, and inefficient. Therefore, the present invention proposes a carbide cutting tool loading direction adjustment device to ensure that the loaded carbide cutting tool is always oriented in the same direction.

[0028] In the technical solution of the present invention, the feeding channel 2 spirally rises from the bottom of the vibrating disk 1, and the end of the feeding channel 2 away from the bottom of the disk is connected to the first channel 6. The first channel 6 and the second channel 12 are respectively located on both sides of the turning channel 9, and the turning channel 9 can simultaneously face the first channel 6 and the second channel 12. Therefore, the carbide tool located at the bottom of the disk can move along the feeding channel 2 and pass through the first channel 6 and the turning channel 9 in sequence to reach the second channel 12; the turning channel 9 can be driven by the motor 14 to rotate to face the first channel 6 and the second channel 12 at the same time, and the photoelectric sensor 11 is aligned with the On the side of the turning channel 9 away from the first channel 6, the width of the turning channel 9, the width of the first channel 6, and the width of the second channel 12 are all set to allow only one carbide tool to pass through. Therefore, when the carbide tools pass through the turning channel 9 in sequence, the photoelectric sensor 11 can identify whether the carbide tool is in the preset direction. The carbide tool with the preset direction passes smoothly, and the carbide tool with a non-preset direction passes after completing the turn through the turning channel 9, thereby ensuring that the carbide tool is always in the same direction; the length of the turning channel 9 is less than the length of the carbide tool, so as to ensure that each carbide tool can pass through the turning channel 9 smoothly without interfering with each other.

When the receiver of the photoelectric sensor 11 receives a light signal that is inconsistent with the light signal characteristics of the preset orientation, the carbide tool is determined to be in the incorrect orientation. At this time, the rotary motor 14 drives the rotary base 7 to rotate 180°, causing the carbide tool located in the steering channel 9 to turn 180°, thereby changing the orientation of the carbide tool to the correct orientation. The photoelectric sensor 11 can be a laser displacement sensor.
