A limiting member for limiting the movement of the connecting block is provided on the outer surface of the rotating cylinder. A connecting rod is welded to one side of the connecting block, and the movable block movably passes through the connecting rod. A second servo electric cylinder is fixedly installed on one inner sidewall of the connecting rod. The telescopic end of the second servo electric cylinder is welded to one side of the movable block. A fixed clamping plate is welded to one bottom end of the connecting rod, and a movable clamping plate is welded to the bottom end of the movable block.

[0006] Preferably, the connector consists of a rotating column and a rotating block. The rotating column is welded to the bottom end of the rotating cylinder and movably passes through the rotating cylinder. The rotating block is welded to the bottom end of the rotating column and the top surface of the rotating block is in contact with the inner top wall of the base.

[0007] Preferably, the top of the base has four circular holes, and a rod is fixedly inserted through each of the four circular holes.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting component consists of two limiting blocks and two limiting rods. The two limiting blocks are welded to the outer surface of the rotating cylinder, and the two limiting rods respectively movably pass through the two limiting blocks. One end of each of the two limiting rods is welded to both ends of the bottom of the connecting block.

[0009] Preferably, a handle is welded to one side of the connecting block, and two control switches are installed on one side of the handle. The second servo electric cylinder is electrically connected to an external power source through one of the control switches, and the first servo electric cylinder is electrically connected to an external power source through the other control switch.

[0010] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: By using the telescopic end of the servo electric cylinder two to drive the movable block to move the movable clamping plate closer to the fixed clamping plate, metal products on the supply chain assembly line can be clamped and fixed. At the same time, the hand grips the lever to rotate the rotating cylinder, causing the rotating cylinder to move the metal products clamped and fixed by the fixed clamping plate and the movable clamping plate to the top of the packaging box. Then, by using the servo electric cylinder one to drive the connecting block to fall, the metal products clamped and fixed by the fixed clamping plate and the movable clamping plate can be moved into the inside of the packaging box.

[0015] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0016] Example 1:

[0017] A supply chain sorting mechanism, referring to Figure 1-3The system includes a base 1, a rotating cylinder 2, and a movable block 45. The top of the base 1 has four circular holes, each with a inserted rod 6 fixedly inserted through it. Inserting the four rods 6 into the ground increases the stability of the base 1. A support frame 51 is welded to one end of the top of the base 1, and a support plate 52 is welded to the top of the support frame 51. The support frame 51 supports the support plate 52, which can be used to support packaging boxes containing metal products. The rotating cylinder 2 is movably mounted on the top of the base 1 via a connector 3, which consists of a rotating column 31 and a rotating block 32. The rotating column 31 is welded to the bottom of the rotating cylinder 2 and movably penetrates it. The rotating block 32 is welded to the bottom of the rotating column 31, and its top surface is flush with the ground. The inner top wall of the base 1 is fitted so that the rotating column 31 can only drive the rotating cylinder 2 to rotate at the top of the base 1. A servo electric cylinder 41 is fixedly installed at the inner bottom of the rotating cylinder 2. A connecting block 42 is welded to the telescopic end of the servo electric cylinder 41. A limiting member 7 for limiting the connecting block 42 is provided on the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 2. The limiting member 7 consists of two limiting blocks 71 and two limiting rods 72. The two limiting blocks 71 are welded to the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 2. The two limiting rods 72 move through the two limiting blocks 71 respectively. One end of the two limiting rods 72 is welded to the two ends of the bottom of the connecting block 42 respectively, so that the connecting block 42 can only move vertically. A connecting rod 43 is welded to one side of the connecting block 42. A movable block 45 moves through the connecting rod 43. The connecting rod 43 and the movable block 45 have two sides respectively attached to two inner sidewalls of the connecting rod 43. A servo electric cylinder 44 is fixedly installed on one inner sidewall of the connecting rod 43. The telescopic end of the servo electric cylinder 44 is welded to one side of the movable block 45. A fixed clamping plate 46 is welded to one bottom end of the connecting rod 43. A movable clamping plate 47 is welded to the bottom end of the movable block 45. A gripping rod 8 is welded to one side of the connecting block 42. Two control switches 9 are installed on one side of the gripping rod 8. The servo electric cylinder 44 is electrically connected to an external power source through one of the control switches 9. The servo electric cylinder 41 is electrically connected to an external power source through the other control switch 9. Both the servo electric cylinder 41 and the servo electric cylinder 44 are preferably of type MPED130. When one of the control switches 9 is used to start the second servo electric cylinder 44, the telescopic end of the second servo electric cylinder 44 drives the movable block 45 to move the movable clamping plate 47 closer to the fixed clamping plate 46, which can clamp and fix the metal products on the supply chain assembly line. Then, by holding the handle 8, the rotating cylinder 2 is rotated, so that the rotating cylinder 2 moves the metal products clamped and fixed by the fixed clamping plate 46 and the movable clamping plate 47 to the top of the packaging box. Then, by using another control switch 9 to control the first servo electric cylinder 41 to drive the connecting block 42 to fall, which can move the metal products clamped and fixed by the fixed clamping plate 46 and the movable clamping plate 47 into the inside of the packaging box. Then, the second servo electric cylinder 44 is controlled again by one of the control switches 9.This causes the telescopic end of the servo electric cylinder 44 to drive the movable block 45, which in turn moves the movable clamping plate 47 away from the fixed clamping plate 46, thereby releasing the clamping and fixing of the metal product and ultimately completing the sorting of the metal product.
