[0038] The clamp 4 includes a finger cylinder A402, on which two clamping rods 403 are connected; support seats 404 are connected to both sides of the finger cylinder A402, and guide rods 405 are connected to the support seats 404; a pressure block 406 is slidably engaged with the guide rods 405, and a first spring is connected between the pressure block 406 and the support seats 404, and the first spring is fitted onto the outer wall of the guide rods 405.

[0039] The support 501 has a rectangular frame structure, and the rotating component, clamping component, directional rod 503 and detection component are all arranged in four sets in a rectangular array.

[0040] The rotating assembly also includes a geared motor 508, which is connected to the support 501; a rotating shaft is connected to the bottom end of the turntable 502, and the rotating shaft is connected to the power output end of the geared motor 508 through a coupling; a bearing seat 509 is connected to the top end of the support 501, and the rotating shaft at the bottom end of the turntable 502 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 509.

[0044] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0045] This utility model is used in conjunction with a PLC controller.

[0046] During operation, the operator inserts the inner tube 6 arbitrarily onto the insertion rod 201, and under the action of the chain conveyor 202, the inner tube 6 moves towards the end of the industrial robot 3.

[0047] When the proximity switch 205 detects the inner tube 6, the industrial robot 3 drives the gripper 4 to move above the chain conveyor 202. The gripper 4 picks up the inner tube 6 and places it on the directional rod 503. Since each inner tube 6 has a different orientation, some of the elastic blocks 504 on the directional rods are embedded in the groove 511 under the pressure of the inner hole of the inner tube 6, while some of the elastic blocks 504 will be directly stuck into the through groove 601.

[0048] When the finger cylinder B512 operates, the gripper 505 clamps the inner tube 6; the reduction motor 508 operates, driving the turntable 502 to rotate, which in turn drives the directional rod 503 to rotate; the inner tube 6 not engaged in the long groove by the elastic block 504 does not rotate. When the elastic block 504 reaches the position of the through groove 601, under the tension of the second spring, the elastic block 504 engages in the long groove, and the directional rod 503 drives the inner tube 6 to overcome the clamping force of the gripper 505 and rotate it; the inner tube 6 with the elastic block 504 directly engaged in the through groove 601 will also rotate under the drive of the directional rod 503, overcoming the clamping force of the gripper 505. After rotating 180°, when the detection piece 506 reaches the groove of the slotted photoelectric sensor, the reduction motor 508 stops operating. At this time, all the inner tubes 6 are held in a fixed direction, ready for the subsequent robotic arm to grab from the preparation device and place them in the mold.

[0049] In this embodiment, the slotted photoelectric sensor is model C-MSX951N.
