Its structure is as follows: Figures 1-3As shown, the system includes a cabinet 1, and is equipped with a vibratory feeding assembly 2, a pushing assembly 3, a sliding receiving assembly 4, a detection assembly 5, and a transfer assembly 6. The vibratory feeding assembly enables the vibratory feeding of the tool handle. The sliding receiving assembly is used to catch the tool handle and transfer it to the pushing assembly. The pushing assembly pushes the tool handle to the bracket below the transfer assembly. The transfer assembly first clamps the tool handle and sends it to the detection assembly for visual inspection. Qualified tool handles are fed into the system, while unqualified tool handles are rejected.
[0023] Specifically, the vibratory feeding assembly includes a vibratory plate 21 and a feeding plate 22. The vibratory plate has a spiral feeding track (not shown in the conventional structural diagram), and the feeding plate has a feeding channel inside. One end of the feeding channel is connected to the spiral feeding track, so that the tool holder can enter the feeding channel one by one through the spiral feeding track. The other end of the feeding channel has a discharge port on the back of the feeding plate.
[0024] The pushing component includes a base 31, a bracket 32, a pushing rod 33, and a pushing cylinder 34.
