When the direction of the simulated branches is correct, the diversion cylinder is started, the piston rod on the diversion cylinder extends, the diversion plate moves, and the diversion box moves with the diversion plate. The simulated branches between the two diversion boxes move with the diversion plate. The simulated branches separate from the conveyor and slide onto the sliding plate.

After the simulated branches with the correct direction slide onto the sliding plate, they slide into the counting slots of the counting block, the counting motor starts, the counting motor drives the counting shaft to rotate, the simulated branches rotate with the counting block, and the simulated branches rotate into the leaf alignment frame. According to the number of a bunch of simulated branches, a specified number of simulated branches are transported into the leaf alignment frame. After the specified number of simulated branches arrive at the leaf alignment frame, the leaf-taking lifting cylinder starts, the piston rod on the leaf-taking lifting cylinder extends, the leaf-taking mounting plate descends, and the leaf-taking clamping plate descends with the leaf-taking mounting plate. After the board reaches both sides of the simulated tree branch, the leaf picking and grabbing cylinder is started, the piston rod on the leaf picking and grabbing cylinder is shortened, and the two leaf picking splints approach each other. After the simulated tree branch is fixed by the leaf picking splint, the leaf picking lifting cylinder is started, the piston rod on the leaf picking lifting cylinder is shortened, and the simulated tree branch rises with the leaf picking splint. The leaf picking translation cylinder is started, the piston rod on the leaf picking translation cylinder is shortened, and the simulated tree branch moves to the designated position with the leaf picking slide to be supplied to the winding device for use. This device can deliver the simulated tree branches to the designated position according to the specified quantity, and there is no need for manual placement of the simulated tree branches in a certain direction, which greatly improves production efficiency.
