[0022] The transverse sliding table device 203 includes: a transverse sliding track 2031 fixed on the hopper support plate 201, a transverse sliding block 2032 provided on the transverse sliding track 2031, a transverse cylinder 2033 provided on the side of the transverse sliding track 2031, and the piston end of the transverse cylinder 2033 connected to the transverse sliding block 2032.

[0023] The transverse slide 2031 provides a horizontal moving track to ensure the smooth movement of the slide table. The transverse slider 2032 cooperates with the slide to support the transverse movement of the material picking claw and the receiving disc. The transverse cylinder 2033 drives the slider to move and precisely controls the stroke.

[0024] The material handling gripper device 207 includes a material handling gripper cylinder 2071 fixed on a transverse slider 2032, and a material handling gripper 2072 is provided on the top of the material handling gripper cylinder 2071.

[0025] Among them, the material handling gripper cylinder 2071 drives the gripper to move vertically up and down to complete the gripping and release of the oil seal, and the material handling gripper 2072 holds the oil seal to ensure that it does not fall off during the transfer process.

[0026] The receiving disc device 208 includes a receiving cylinder 2081 fixed on a transverse slider 2032, and a receiving disc 2082 on the top of the receiving cylinder 2081. The rising path of the receiving disc 2082 is aligned with the discharge port of the material storage channel 205.

[0027] Among them, the receiving cylinder 2081 drives the receiving disc to rise and fall vertically to receive the falling oil seal. The receiving disc 2082 temporarily supports the oil seal to ensure its accurate positioning before transfer. The rising and falling action of the receiving disc 2082 buffers the impact of the falling oil seal to avoid deformation or misalignment of the oil seal. The path of the receiving disc 2082 is aligned with the storage channel to ensure the consistency of the oil seal receiving position.

[0028] The material dropping gripper device 209 includes: a material dropping gripper bracket 2091 fixed on the hopper support plate 201, a material dropping gripper 2092 provided on the material dropping gripper bracket 2091, and the material dropping gripper 2092 located directly below the material storage channel 205.

[0029] The material discharge gripper bracket 2091 fixes the gripper position to ensure stability, and the material discharge gripper 2092 clamps the second oil seal in the material storage channel 205 to prevent the subsequent oil seal from falling down and reduce the risk of equipment jamming.

[0030] The unlocking block cylinder device 210 includes: an unlocking block cylinder bracket 2101 fixed on the hopper support plate 201, an unlocking block cylinder 2102 provided on the unlocking block cylinder bracket 2101, an unlocking block 2103 provided on the top of the unlocking block cylinder 2102, and the wedge-shaped surface of the unlocking block 2103 contacting the side of the material drop baffle 206.

[0031] The unlocking block cylinder bracket 2101 fixes the cylinder position to ensure driving stability. The unlocking block cylinder 2102 horizontally drives the unlocking block to open the material discharge baffle 206. The unlocking block 2103 uses a wedge-shaped surface to mechanically open the material discharge baffle 206 and release the oil seal.

[0032] The material handling gripper 2072 is equipped with an oil seal positive / negative detection switch 211 on its side. The oil seal direction is detected by photoelectric or mechanical contact. When a reverse oil seal is detected, the material is ejected to avoid incorrect assembly and ensure that only the front oil seal enters the assembly process, thereby reducing the rework rate.

[0033] The hopper turntable 202 is equipped with a gear transmission assembly inside, which is meshed with the bottom of the hopper turntable 204.

[0034] When using this utility model, firstly, the movable protective door cylinder 104 drives the movable protective door 102 to close, triggering the movable protective door closing switch 105 signal. The manual lifting door 103 is then manually opened. The operator places the oil seals into the storage channel 205, with the oil seals arranged vertically along the storage channel 205. After loading is complete: the manual lifting door 103 closes, the movable protective door cylinder 104 drives the movable protective door 102 to open, and the hopper turntable 202, through internal gear transmission, drives the hopper turntable 204 to rotate 60°, accurately positioning the storage channel 205 to the desired position. Directly below the material clamping claw 2092, the unlocking block cylinder 2102 extends horizontally, and the wedge-shaped surface of the unlocking block 2103 pushes open the material drop baffle 206, allowing the first oil seal at the bottom of the material storage channel 205 to fall freely. The receiving cylinder 2081 drives the receiving disc 2082 to rise and catch the falling oil seal. Subsequently, the receiving disc 2082 descends and resets, and the transverse cylinder 2033 drives the transverse slider 2032 to move, causing the material picking claw 2072 to move below the receiving disc 2082. The material picking claw cylinder 2071 rises, and the material picking claw 2072 clamps the oil seal, with the oil seal facing forward or backward. The detection switch 211 detects the direction of the oil seal. If it is reversed: the transverse slide 203 moves to the discharge position, and the material handling gripper 2072 opens to discard the oil seal. If it is forward: the transverse slide 203 moves to the robot's material handling position, maintaining gripping and waiting for material handling. The material handling gripper 2092 always holds the second oil seal to prevent subsequent oil seals from falling down. After completing one feeding cycle, the hopper turntable 204 rotates 60° again, and the next material storage channel 205 is positioned at the working position. The above process is repeated. The movable protective door 102 and the manually operated lifting door 103 form a double protection system. The door closing switch 105 achieves interlocking control. The gear drive of the hopper turntable 202 and the indexing rotation of the hopper turntable 204, together with the wedge-shaped surface design of the unlocking block 2103, ensure that only one oil seal is released at a time. The oil seal positive and negative detection switch 211 and the transverse slide 203 work together to realize the automatic sorting function. The receiving disc 2082 buffers the receiving of materials, the picking gripper 2072 accurately transfers materials, and the dropping gripper 2092 prevents errors. All actions are controlled by the PLC program. The action sequence of each cylinder and the detection signals are interlocked to ensure the reliability and safety of the process.
