The first conveyor belt 12 passes around the first drive roller 13 and the first redirecting roller 14. The first conveying motor 16 is supported on the first frame 11 and is connected to the first drive roller 13 through a reducer. The output shaft of the first conveying motor 16 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer through a coupling. The output shaft of the reducer is connected to one end of the first drive roller 13 through a coupling. The first conveyor motor 16 can drive the first drive roller 13 to rotate, thereby driving the first conveyor belt 12 to rotate. The rotation of the first conveyor belt 12 can convey the workpiece placed on it forward. The first support roller 15 supports the upper layer of the first conveyor belt 12 to ensure smooth conveying.

[0026] The attitude adjustment mechanism 3 is adjacent to the discharge end of the first conveying mechanism 1. The attitude adjustment mechanism 3 includes a third frame 31, a rotary table 32, a rotary drive motor 33, and a machine vision camera 34. The rotary table 32 is rotatably supported on the third frame 31. The rotary drive motor 33 is located inside the third frame 31 and below the rotary table 32. The output shaft of the rotary drive motor 33 is connected to the rotating shaft of the rotary table 32. The rotary drive motor 33 is used to drive the rotary table 32 to rotate. The machine vision camera 34 is supported on the third frame 31 by a bracket 35 and is located above the rotary table 32. The machine vision camera 34 is used to take pictures of the workpiece on the rotary table 32 and determine whether its attitude meets the requirements. The workpiece on the rotary table 32 can be rotated 180° by rotating the rotary table 32, thereby realizing the turning around.

[0027] The rotary table 32 is also equipped with a third conveying mechanism 4, and the workpieces flowing out from the discharge end of the first conveying mechanism 1 will fall onto the third conveying mechanism 4. The third conveying mechanism 4 includes a conveying roller 41, a third conveying motor 42, a drive shaft 43, a driving bevel gear 44, and a driven bevel gear 45. The rotary table 32 has strip-shaped holes, and the conveying rollers 41 are rotatably supported in the strip-shaped holes. There are multiple strip-shaped holes and multiple conveying rollers 41. The conveying rollers 41 are distributed in parallel at intervals. The driven bevel gears 45 are set at one end of the conveying rollers 41 and can rotate synchronously. The number of driven bevel gears 45 is the same as the number of conveying rollers 41 and they correspond one-to-one. The third conveying motor 42 is set on the lower side of the rotary table 32. The drive shaft 43 is rotatably supported on the lower side of the rotary table 32 and is close to the driven bevel gears 45. The output shaft of the third conveying motor 42 is connected to one end of the drive shaft 43. The driving bevel gears 44 are set on the drive shaft 43 and can rotate synchronously. The number of driving bevel gears 44 is the same as the number of driven bevel gears 45 and they correspond one-to-one. The driving bevel gears 44 and driven bevel gears 45 mesh with each other. In this way, the third conveyor motor 42 can drive the conveyor roller 41 to rotate, thereby conveying the workpiece located on the conveyor roller 41.

[0028] The height of the upper highest point of the transfer roller 41 is higher than the height of the upper surface of the rotary table 32, so as to ensure that the workpiece is supported on the transfer roller 41 and facilitates the transport of the workpiece.

[0029] The second conveying mechanism 2 is used to convey workpieces. The feed end of the second conveying mechanism 2 is adjacent to the attitude adjustment mechanism 3. Workpieces output from the attitude adjustment mechanism 3 will fall onto the second conveying mechanism 2. The second conveying mechanism 2 includes a second frame 21, a second conveyor belt 22, a second drive roller 23, a second redirecting roller 24, a second support roller 25, and a second conveying motor 26. The second drive roller 23 and the second redirecting roller 24 are rotatably supported at both ends of the second frame 21, respectively. The second support roller 25 is rotatably supported on the second frame 21 and located between the second drive roller 23 and the second redirecting roller 24. The second conveyor belt 22 passes around the second drive roller 23 and the second redirecting roller 24. The second conveying motor 26 is supported on the second frame 21 and is connected to the second drive roller 23 through a reducer. The output shaft of the second conveying motor 26 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer through a coupling. The output shaft of the reducer is connected to one end of the second drive roller 23 through a coupling. The second conveyor motor 26 can drive the second drive roller 23 to rotate, thereby driving the second conveyor belt 22 to rotate. The rotation of the second conveyor belt 22 can transport the workpiece placed on it forward. The second support roller 25 supports the upper layer of the second conveyor belt 22 to ensure smooth conveying.

[0030] The conveying surfaces of the first conveying mechanism 1, the second conveying mechanism 2, and the attitude adjustment mechanism 3 are at the same height, which ensures that the workpiece can be transferred smoothly at the junction.

[0031] In one embodiment, the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the conveying direction of the second conveying mechanism 2 are on the same straight line. In this case, if it is necessary to turn the workpiece around, the rotary table 32 needs to be rotated 180°.

[0032] In another embodiment, the conveying directions of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are perpendicular to each other. In this case, if the workpiece does not need to turn around, the rotary table 32 rotates 90° so that the front end of the workpiece faces the second conveying mechanism 2, and the front end of the workpiece enters the second conveying mechanism 2 first; if the workpiece needs to turn around, the rotary table 32 rotates 90° in the opposite direction so that the rear end of the workpiece faces the second conveying mechanism 2, and the rear end of the workpiece enters the second conveying mechanism 2 first.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solution of this utility model, or modify it into equivalent embodiments, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technology of this utility model without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this technical solution.
