[0025] In this embodiment, the carrier disc 1 is rotatably arranged, and a plurality of clamp mechanisms are arranged on the top circumference of the carrier disc 1. One side of the carrier disc 1 is provided with a feeding conveyor belt 3 for conveying the panel base. The one side of the carrier disc 1 is provided with a material moving mechanism, which comprises a positioning plate 41. One side of the positioning plate 41 is provided with a motor 42. The output end of the motor 42 is connected with a lead screw 43. The outer wall of the lead screw 43 is threadedly connected with a sleeve seat 44. A pair of guide rails 45 penetrating through the sleeve seat 44 are arranged on the positioning plate 41, so as to ensure that the sleeve seat 44 moves along the direction of the lead screw 43. A pneumatic unit 46 is arranged on the sleeve seat 44. The bottom of the pneumatic unit 46 is provided with a gas claw 47 for clamping the panel base. The gas claw 47 clamps the panel base on the feeding conveyor belt 3 through the control of the pneumatic unit 46. The movement of the gas claw 47 controlled by the pneumatic unit 46 is prior art, and will not be described in detail in this application. Then, the motor 42 is started to rotate the lead screw 43, so as to further move the sleeve seat 44 along the direction of the lead screw 43, and move the gas claw 47 above the bottom plate 21. At this time, the gas claw 47 is controlled to release the clamping of the panel base, so that the panel base falls onto the inclined clamping grooves 26 of the four clamping blocks 25. Then, the panel base is pressed downward, and moves along the inclined clamping grooves 26 into the vertical clamping grooves 27, so that the panel base is clamped by the four clamping blocks 25. The conveying of the panel base does not require high precision, and is easy to control.
[0026] In this embodiment, the one side of the carrier disc 1 is provided with a material pressing mechanism, which is located on one side of the feeding conveyor belt 3. The material pressing mechanism comprises a material pressing cylinder 51. The output end of the material pressing cylinder 51 is provided with a material pressing disc 52 corresponding to the clamp mechanism, so as to downwardly press the panel base on the clamp mechanism. When the gas claw 47 places the panel base on the inclined clamping grooves 26 of the four clamping blocks 25, the carrier disc 1 is controlled to rotate, so that the clamp mechanism rotates to the bottom of the material pressing disc 52. Then, the material pressing cylinder 51 is controlled to be started. At this time, the material pressing disc 52 downwardly presses the top of the panel base, so that the panel base moves to be clamped between the four vertical clamping grooves 27. The manual operation is not required, and the manpower in the feeding process is greatly saved.
[0027] In the embodiment, the loading tray 1 is provided with a plurality of material moving mechanisms, and the pneumatic unit 46 in one of the material moving mechanisms includes a lifting cylinder 461 and a jaw driving unit 462. The lifting cylinder 461 is connected with the sleeve 44, and the output end of the lifting cylinder 461 is connected with the jaw driving unit 462 to control the lifting movement of the jaw driving unit 462. A pair of jaws 47 for clamping the panel base are arranged in the jaw driving unit 462. When the panel base is assembled into a completed switch panel on the top of the loading tray 1, the panel base is moved to the position below the material moving mechanism with the lifting cylinder 461 through the rotation of the loading tray 1. At this time, the lifting cylinder 461 is started to drive the jaw driving unit 462 to move the jaws 47 downward. Then, the jaw driving unit 462 is started to control the jaws 47 to clamp the completed switch panel. The movement of the jaws 47 controlled by the jaw driving unit 462 is prior art, and will not be described in detail in the present application. Then, the lifting cylinder 461 is started to drive the jaws 47 to move the switch panel upward. Then, the motor 42 on the material moving mechanism is started to drive the switch panel to move to the unloading position for unloading. The loading and unloading processes do not need manual processing, and the automation degree of the device is greatly improved.
[0028] In the embodiment, the vertical clamping groove 27 is formed with a V-shaped clamping surface corresponding to the corner of the panel base. The two side surfaces of the V-shaped clamping surface are clamped on the two sides of the panel base, so that the panel base is prevented from deflecting during assembly, and the assembly precision is affected.
[0029] In the embodiment, the side of the feeding conveyor belt 3 facing the loading tray 1 is provided with a baffle to block the panel base and prevent the panel base from sliding off the feeding conveyor belt 3. The baffle is provided with a gap for the jaws 47 to pass through, so that the jaws 47 can clamp the panel base through the gap.
