[0023] It needs to be explained that partition 8 is symmetrically separated after material taking platform 1, and forms artificial feeding area and automatic material taking area, rotating cylinder 5 controls rotating feed seat 4 and material taking platform 1 rotation, when partition 8 both sides material taking station 3 switches between artificial feeding area and automatic material taking area. And every time fixed rotation 180 °.

[0024] In the embodiment of the application, artificial platform 6 is provided on one side of material taking platform 1, and grating mechanism 7 is provided between material taking platform 1 and artificial platform 6. When the gasket is placed in the material taking station 3 by artificial, it will pass through the grating mechanism 7. The grating mechanism 7 has a sensing element for sensing the action. This design can avoid the injury of artificial when the material taking platform 1 rotates, and plays a role in protecting the operation safety of employees.

[0025] It needs to be explained that material taking platform 1 is rotatable, and artificial feeding area is always close to one side of artificial platform 6, and automatic material taking area is away from one side of artificial platform 6.

[0026] In the embodiment of the application, loading mechanism 2 is further provided on the side of material taking platform 1 for grabbing the gasket in the material taking station 3 in the automatic material taking area. The material taking station 3 is provided in a cylindrical shape, and has a depth for stacking multiple gaskets. The loading structure 2 includes a grabbing module 21 and a driving module 22. The driving module 22 is used for controlling the movement of the grabbing module 21. The grabbing module 21 has a number of grabbing structures equal to half of the number of material taking stations 3, and can grab the gasket from each material taking station 3 in the automatic material taking area respectively.

[0027] Preferably, in the embodiment of the application, four material taking stations 3 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of partition 8.

[0028] In the embodiment of the application, the rotating cylinder 5 and the driving module 22 adopt standardized components, which are convenient to maintain and have low spare part cost.
