[0024] like Figure 6 As shown, the inner circle of the card 71 installed in this embodiment is provided with a card block 72 and a groove 73 in sequence.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an automatic card loading device includes a vibration plate 11, a straight vibration material channel 12, a material dividing mechanism, a lifting and loading mechanism and a docking mechanism. The vibration plate 11 includes a device for continuously vibrating the card 71 to be installed. A card slide 13 is provided in the straight vibration material channel 12. The card 71 is placed in the card slide 13 along the longitudinal direction and moves. The docking mechanism includes a card installation column 61 facing the side of the lifting and loading mechanism.

[0026] The card 71 reaches the dividing mechanism from the vibrating disk 11 and the straight vibrating material channel 12, and the dividing mechanism includes a movable dividing block 23, and the movable dividing block 23 is docked with and connected to the end of the straight vibrating material channel 12 when it is in the receiving position, and is not connected to the end of the straight vibrating material channel 12 when it is in the dividing position; specifically, a dividing channel 24 is arranged in the movable dividing block 23, and the card 71 in the movable dividing block 23 is placed in the dividing channel 24 along the longitudinal direction, and when the movable dividing block 23 is in the receiving position, the dividing channel 24 is docked with and connected to the card chute 13, and the movable dividing block 23 receives one card 71 from the card chute 13, and then the movable dividing block 23 moves to the dividing position, and the movable dividing block 23 blocks the card chute 13, so that the subsequent cards 71 in the card chute 13 cannot continue to move out.

[0027] Specifically, if Figure 2As shown, the material distribution mechanism also includes a material distribution fixing part 21 and a material distribution cylinder 22. The material distribution cylinder 22 is fixedly mounted on the material distribution fixing part 21. The mobile material distribution block 23 is connected to the movable part of the material distribution cylinder 22. The material distribution cylinder 22 drives the mobile material distribution block 23 to move to the receiving position and the material distribution position. The material distribution mechanism also includes a material distribution detector 25. The material distribution detector 25 is mounted on the mobile material distribution block 23 and is used to detect whether there is a card 71 on the mobile material distribution block 23. When the mobile material distribution block 23 detects the presence of a card 71 in the material distribution channel 24, the driver moves to the material distribution position. If no card 71 is detected, the mobile material distribution block 23 remains in the receiving position. The material distribution detector 25 can adopt a variety of sensors such as a proximity switch, a laser sensor, and an infrared sensor.

[0028] The lifting and loading mechanism includes a loading lifting cylinder 31, a loading transverse displacement cylinder 32, and a clamping mechanism. The loading transverse displacement cylinder 32 is arranged on the movable part of the loading lifting cylinder 31, and the clamping mechanism is arranged on the movable part of the loading transverse displacement cylinder 32. The clamping mechanism clamps the card 71 from the movable material distribution block 23 and places it on the card mounting column 61. Specifically, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping claw transverse displacement cylinder 41, a clamping claw cylinder 43, and a clamping claw 44. The clamping claw cylinder 43 is arranged on the movable part of the clamping claw transverse displacement cylinder 41. The number of the clamping claws 44 is two and they are arranged opposite each other. The clamping claw cylinder 43 drives the clamping claws 44 to move closer to or away from each other.

[0029] Since the card 71 is at a random angle when clamped by the clamping mechanism, it cannot be directly installed later. The clamping mechanism also includes a corner motor 42 and an angle recognition sensor 45. The angle recognition sensor 45 is used to detect the position of the card 71 clamped on the clamping claw 44. The corner motor 42 is arranged on the movable part of the clamping claw transverse cylinder 41, and the clamping claw cylinder 43 is arranged on the movable part of the corner motor 42 and is driven to rotate by the corner motor 42. The corner motor 42 is communicated with the angle recognition sensor 45. When the angle recognition sensor 45 detects that the predetermined position of the card 71 is the block 72 or the groove 73 according to a predetermined standard, it drives the corner motor 42 to drive the card 71 to rotate until the angle recognition sensor 45 detects that the predetermined position of the card 71 is the groove 73 or the block 72, indicating that the card 71 has been rotated into place. At this time, the corner motor 42 stops rotating.

[0030] like Figure 3As shown, the docking mechanism also includes a frame 51 and a translation mechanism installed on the frame 51, and the translation mechanism includes a first translation guide rail 52, a first translation frame 53, a second translation guide rail 54 and a second translation frame 55.

The extension directions of the first translation guide rail 52 and the second translation guide rail 54 are perpendicular to each other, and the card mounting column 61 is set on the second translation frame 55, so that the position of the card mounting column 61 in the horizontal plane can be adjusted according to different installation requirements. The docking mechanism also includes a longitudinal mounting frame 56 and a longitudinal cylinder 57. The longitudinal mounting frame 56 is fixedly connected to the second translation frame 55. The longitudinal cylinder 57 is installed on the longitudinal mounting frame 56 in the vertical direction. The card mounting column 61 is set on the movable part of the longitudinal cylinder 57, so that the position of the card mounting column 61 can be adjusted longitudinally.

[0031] Preferably, if Figure 4 As shown, a loading detector 62 is provided on the card installation post 61 , and the loading detector 62 is used to detect whether there is a card 71 on the card installation post 61 .

[0032] The card installation column 61 can be connected to a moving component such as a cylinder to achieve axial movement of the card installation column 61.

[0033] During the loading process of the card 71, the following process can be referred to:

[0034] (1) The card 71 to be installed moves from the vibrating plate 11 and the straight vibrating channel 12 to the material distribution mechanism;

[0035] (2) After the material distribution detector 25 detects the presence of a card 71 in the material distribution channel 24, the material distribution cylinder 22 drives the movable material distribution block 23 to move to the material distribution position;

[0036] (3) The clamping jaw traverse cylinder 41 drives the clamping jaw 44 to move to a position corresponding to the card 71 in the distribution channel 24;

[0037] (4) The clamping cylinder 43 drives the clamping claw 44 to clamp the card 71 and move the material dividing block 23 back to the bearing position;

[0038] (5) If the preset angle recognition sensor 45 detects a signal from the block 72 of the card 71, indicating that the angle of the card 71 is correct, the predetermined detection position of the card 71 is detected to be the block 72 or the groove 73. If the groove 73 is detected, the angle motor 42 drives the card 71 to rotate until the angle recognition sensor 45 detects the block 72, and the angle motor 42 stops rotating.

[0039] (6) The loading lifting cylinder 31 and the loading transverse moving cylinder 32 extend, driving the clamping claw 44 and the card 71 to the card mounting column 61; at this time, the card mounting column 61 can extend outward along the axial direction, so that the card 71 is sleeved on the outside of the card mounting column 61;

[0040] (7) The clamping jaw cylinder 43 drives the clamping jaw 44 to release the card 71, completing the action of installing the card 71 on the card installation column 61, and the actual installation status of the card 71 is detected by the loading detector 62;

[0041] (8) The feeding lifting cylinder 31, the feeding transverse movement cylinder 32 and the clamping claw transverse movement cylinder 41 are reset and the above installation process is repeated.

[0042] The present invention is described above by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments. Any changes or modifications based on the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
