[0002] There are already some automated equipment on the market to handle this process. For example, the existing flexible tray placing machine for reinforcing steel sheets mainly includes the following components: the frame serves as the supporting base of the entire system, the material box is used to carry a large number of unarranged reinforcing steel sheets, the rotating device is responsible for driving multiple fixtures to rotate synchronously, and the automatic material picking device can effectively grab individual reinforcing steel sheets scattered in the material box and move them one by one to the designated fixture positions. Finally, a special detection device is configured to check whether the placement angle of the reinforcing steel sheets after removal meets the standard, ensuring that each piece can be placed in the fixture accurately in the set direction. However, this design still has some limitations. For example, it is more troublesome to adjust when facing reinforcing steel sheets of different specifications and sizes. In addition, its applicability will also be limited when encountering parts with complex shapes.

[0003] Although such machines greatly reduce the need for human intervention, they still expose several shortcomings in actual applications.

Secondly, the unified detection mechanism has poor adaptability to products of different shapes, which can easily lead to missed inspections or misjudgments.

The material holding mechanism 2 includes an upper layer 21, a lower layer 22 and a fine grid filter 23.

[0031] The material holding mechanism 2 is divided into upper and lower layers 22. The lower layer 22 is located below the upper layer 21. A fine grid filter 23 is provided inside the lower layer 22. The material holding mechanism 2 is divided into upper and lower layers 22. The upper layer 21 is used to store a large amount of unfiltered reinforcing steel sheets, and the lower layer 22 is provided with a fine grid filter 23 to help screen out components of appropriate size, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
