Two hinges 204 are fixedly installed at the inclined opening on the top of the storage hopper 201. The movable ends of the two hinges 204 are fixedly installed with a sealing cover 202. The sealing cover 202 is used to seal the top opening of the storage hopper 201. An inclined first belt conveyor 203 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the storage hopper 201. The upper end of the first belt conveyor 203 extends to the outside of the storage hopper 201, and a belt end cover 205 is installed at the bottom of the first belt conveyor 203.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the conveying and dividing mechanism 3 includes a support frame 301, a bracket 309 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 301, a roller brush 302 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bracket 309, a driving motor 310 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bracket 309, and the output end of the driving motor 310 is fixedly installed with the roller brush 302, a second belt conveyor 304 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 301, a sensor detection device 303 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 301, a third belt conveyor 305 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 301, a recovery bucket 306 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 301, and the recovery bucket 306 is located below the end of the third belt conveyor 305, a fourth belt conveyor 307 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 301, and a blocking frame 308 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 301.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the positioning mechanism 5 includes a fixed frame 501, a rotating motor 503 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixed frame 501, a rotating platform 502 is installed on the outer wall of the fixed frame 501, the rotating motor 503 is used to drive the rotating platform 502 to rotate, and a cylinder pushing device 504 is installed on the outer wall of the fixed frame 501.

[0032] like Figure 6 As shown, the conveying mechanism 6 includes a mounting frame 601, and two baffles 602 are provided on the top of the mounting frame 601. A plurality of adjustment holes 603 are opened on the top of the two baffles 602. Bolts 604 are inserted into the inner walls of the adjustment holes 603. The bottoms of the bolts 604 are respectively threadedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 601. The outer wall of the mounting frame 601 is fixedly installed with a fifth belt conveyor 605.

[0033] Working principle: The product is manually placed into the storage hopper 201, and the first belt conveyor 203 conveys the capacitor shell to the second belt conveyor 304. During the conveying process of the capacitor shell by the first belt conveyor 203, the driving motor 310 drives the roller brush 302 to rotate to prevent the capacitor shell from stacking and overloading.

[0034] When the product is on the second belt conveyor 304, when the sensor detection device 303 detects that there is no material on the third belt conveyor 305, the second belt conveyor 304 conveys the capacitor housing to the third belt conveyor 305;

[0035] When the capacitor shell is transported to the third belt conveyor 305, the recognition and grasping device 4 is triggered, and the position data is generated and transmitted to the PLC for processing. The PLC then transmits it to the robot and starts the robot to pick up the product;

[0036] The capacitor housing that cannot be identified by the recognition grabbing device 4 is conveyed to the recovery bucket 306 via the third belt conveyor 305, and slides along the recovery bucket 306 to the fourth belt conveyor 307, and the capacitor housing that cannot be identified is discharged from the device via the fourth belt conveyor 307;

[0037] While the robot is grabbing the capacitor shell, it detects the opening direction of the product through the sensor. After detecting the opening direction of the product, the robot places the product onto the rotating table 502, drives the rotating table 502 to rotate through the rotating motor 503, adjusts the direction of the capacitor shell, and starts the cylinder pushing device 504 to push the product onto the fifth belt conveyor 605. One end of the capacitor shell is placed on the stop block 606. When the capacitor shell is conveyed by the fifth belt conveyor 605, the product is flipped.
