[0002] With the progress of society and the development of science and technology, all walks of life are promoting the process of automation, and in various industries, some disc type parts need to be assembled automatically. These disc type parts generally have front and back sides, and in the assembly process, the same side must be upward to match the automation. In particular, in the automobile parts industry, there are a large number of disc type parts, and the automation degree of production and assembly in the industry is high. After production, detection and feeding, the parts are collected to a mechanical hand or an assembly machine to complete assembly. In this process, detection often adopts manual inspection and auxiliary turning or vibration disc vibration turning to assist automated production. However, manual inspection often lacks energy and is slow, and the vibration disc needs frequent feeding and has a large noise, which seriously affects the working environment, so it cannot meet the needs of manufacturers. Therefore, some devices that can automatically detect the front and back sides of disc type parts and turn them appear. However, the structure is generally complex and has low stability and slow speed.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 The working principle of this utility model is described as follows: The processed disc part 50 falls onto the upper surface of the input belt 60 through the aforementioned feed port 18. When the aforementioned input sensor 20 does not detect the corresponding position of the disc part 50, the aforementioned input drive mechanism 14 operates, causing the disc part 50 on the input belt 60 to move forward until it is detected by the input sensor 20. At this time, the aforementioned push cylinder 42 operates, and the push block 43 pushes the corresponding disc part 50 through the push groove 431 to enter the part slot 331 after passing through the flip input port 19a. At this time, the disc part 50 is locked in the aforementioned part slot 331. The aforementioned height sensor 34 detects the disc part 50 located in the part slot 331 through the detection opening 332, and determines which side is facing upward by detecting the edge height of the disc part 50 (usually). (The edge facing up is low, while the edge facing down is high.) For example, if the disc part 50 being detected has its back facing up, the aforementioned flipping cylinder 32 will operate, and the rotating shaft 321 will drive the part holder 33 to rotate 180°, so that the disc part 50 being detected faces up. When the next disc part 50 enters the part slot 331 from the input mechanism 1, the disc part 50 located in the aforementioned part slot 331 will be pushed out and fall onto the upper surface of the output belt 70 of the output mechanism 2 through the material support frame 40. When the aforementioned output sensor 30 senses that there is a disc part 50 on the output belt 70, the aforementioned output drive mechanism 24 will operate, causing the corresponding disc part 50 to move backward to the position of the output back stop 27 and wait for the next automated step, thereby completing the conveying, flipping and loading actions of the entire device.

[0031] In summary, the technical solution provided by this utility model makes up for the shortcomings of the prior art, successfully completes the invention task, and accurately realizes the technical effects described by the applicant in the above technical effect column.
