Finally, defective products are unloaded from the unloading mechanism 60, and good products are unloaded from the unloading belt 70.
[0026] For easy initial inspection, a gripper 15 is provided at one end of the feeding belt 10. A slide plate 152 is provided on the lower side of the gripper 15, and a second gripper finger 151 is provided at the bottom end. A displacement sensor 155 is provided between the slide plate 152 and the feeding belt 10 to detect the product size. A standard cylinder 302 and a single-rod cylinder 301 cooperate with the horizontal movement of the slide plate 152 to facilitate the movement of the expansion valve 100 between the second gripper finger 151 and the gripper 253. Three thin cylinders 22 are circumferentially distributed at the top center of the rotary disk 20, and four positioning plates 21 are evenly distributed circumferentially. The thin cylinders 22 are located at one end of the positioning plates 21, and a buffer pressure head 255 is provided at the top of the other positioning plate 21. A three-dimensional adjustment mechanism 25 is mounted on one side of the rotating disk 20. The three-dimensional adjustment mechanism 25 includes a second rotary cylinder 252, a push rod cylinder 254 at one end, and a gripper 253 at the bottom end of the second rotary cylinder 252. The three-dimensional adjustment mechanism 25 moves the product to the transfer mechanism 30 via the gripper 253. A buffer pressure head 255 is located at the bottom end of the push rod cylinder 254.

The inspection mechanism 50 includes a top rod 55 and a fourth horizontal drive member 501. An industrial camera 51 and a light source 52 are sequentially located at the top of the fourth horizontal drive member 501. The industrial camera 51 inspects the printed label on the smooth surface of the expansion valve using the light source. The light source 52 is positioned close to the conveyor belt 75. The unloading mechanism 60 includes a first horizontal drive member 61, a second horizontal drive member 63, and a first vertical drive member 62 arranged vertically in sequence to realize three-dimensional spatial unloading.

A first gripper 622 is provided at one end of the first rotary cylinder 621, and a defective product conveyor belt 65 is provided below the first gripper 622. The first gripper 622 rotates and unloads the defective products.
[0028] The feeding belt 10 feeds the expansion valve 100 with the smooth surface 101 facing upwards. The clamping part 15 clamps the expansion valve 100 onto the slide plate 152 through the second clamping finger 151. The displacement sensor 155 performs dimensional detection on the expansion valve 100, and then clamps it onto the positioning plate 21 of the rotating disk 20. The thin cylinder 22 applies pressure to the end of the expansion valve 100 for detection. The gripper 253 moves the product to the conveyor belt 75. The rotating finger 33 rotates the expansion valve 100 90 degrees. At this time, the smooth surface is on the side of the expansion valve, which is convenient for printing and labeling. The conveyor belt 75 moves the expansion valve 100 to the printing mechanism 40. The printing mechanism 40 prints the smooth surfaces 101 on both sides of the expansion valve 100. After inspection by the industrial camera 51 of the inspection mechanism 50, defective products are unloaded from the unloading mechanism 60, and good products are unloaded from the unloading belt 70.
