Background
The line box (short for line box) is a six-sided box with one side opening (open) for the convenience of construction and intensively arranging the separated lines at specific positions. Think in the production of line box, need carry the line box with the same mode of opening side orientation (unobstructed upwards) to the station that corresponds through the transfer chain and carry out corresponding processing (if carry the packing station and pack), because the automatic detection who is convenient for realize that field technician can not find out the method of the opening direction of the opening side of line box, thereby can not produce the equipment that is suitable for carrying out the automation and detects and adjust the opening side opening direction of line box, the current adjustment that makes the opening side orientation equidirectional of line box of upper end can only be adjusted through the manual work, manual adjustment has that production efficiency is low to consume the artifical not enough that much.

The feeding process of the invention comprises the following steps: the line box falls in the feeding funnel, when the bracket descends to stagger with the feed inlet, the line box in the feeding funnel falls into the feeding channel, the bracket lifting mechanism drives the bracket to ascend to the set stroke end point, the bracket supports the line box in the feeding channel, the line box supported by the bracket supports on the bracket along the direction of the row of the conveying line conveying direction, and the line box supported by the bracket can generate 2 layers or more. Push away a translation mechanism drive and push away the frame towards the bracket directly over one end to push away the line box that splices on the bottom on the bracket and fall, push away the line box that falls in from falling back to the feeding funnel newly through the material receiving mouth, then push away a translation mechanism drive and push away the frame and reset. The loading drive rack 37 is located on the side of the loading channel remote from the conveyor line in the above process. After the pushing frame is reset, the feeding driving frame translation mechanism drives the feeding driving frame to translate towards the conveying line, so that the line box on the bracket is transferred to the conveying line and conveyed away by the conveying line.
The orientation at the conveyor line is such that the open side of the line cassette is forward, backward, left, right, up and down 6. Wherein forward, backward, left and right are horizontal directions.
The method for adjusting the direction of the wire box is completed by the wire box direction adjusting queuing mechanism but not limited to the wire box direction adjusting queuing mechanism.
The specific process is as follows: when the line box passes through the first direction detection unit, the first lifting mechanism drives the first sensor mounting rack to descend, so that the first sensor mounting rack descends and is sleeved on the line box, the first direction detection unit sensor detects the line box, if one first direction detection unit sensor is not blocked, the direction of the first direction detection unit sensor is the direction of the opening side of the line box (for example, if the first direction detection unit sensor on the right side is not blocked, the direction of the opening side of the line box is right, namely, the opening side is located on the right side), and the information is fed back to the subsequent process, the first lifting mechanism drives the first sensor mounting rack to ascend and reset, and the line box is sent to the first direction adjustment unit. When the line box passes through the first direction adjusting unit, if the direction of the opening side of the line box is the horizontal direction, the line box directly flows to the second direction adjusting unit, when the line box passes through the first direction adjusting unit, if the orientation of the opening side of the line box is the horizontal direction and the orientation is consistent with the set required horizontal direction, the line box also directly flows to the second direction adjusting unit, when the orientation of the opening side of the line box is the horizontal direction and the orientation is inconsistent with the set required horizontal direction, the second lifting mechanism drives the first clamping mechanism to descend, the second clamping mechanism clamps the line box, then the second lifting mechanism ascends, and the rotating mechanism drives the second clamping mechanism to rotate by a corresponding angle, so that the orientation of the opening side of the line box faces the set horizontal direction. The second lifting mechanism descends, the first clamping mechanism is released, and the second lifting mechanism ascends and resets, so that the wire box is conveyed to the second direction adjusting unit by the conveying line.
When the line box passes through the second direction adjusting unit, if the opening side direction of the line box is in a non-horizontal direction, the line box directly flows to the second direction detecting unit, when the line box passes through the second direction adjusting unit, if the opening side direction of the line box is in a horizontal direction, the third lifting mechanism drives the second clamping mechanism to descend, after the second clamping mechanism clamps the line box, the third lifting mechanism ascends, and the second rotating mechanism rotates for 90 degrees to enable the line box to be adjusted to be in an opening side opening direction upwards. The third lifting mechanism drives the second clamping mechanism to descend, the second clamping mechanism loosens the clamping effect on the wire box, and the third lifting mechanism ascends and resets to enable the wire box to be conveyed to the second direction detection unit.
When the line box passes through the second direction detection unit, if the line box is the line box with the opening side facing to the horizontal direction when the line box passes through the first direction detection unit, the line box is directly conveyed to the third direction adjustment unit; when the line box passes through the second direction detection unit, if the orientation of the opening side of the line box is the line box in the non-horizontal direction when the line box passes through the first direction detection unit, the fourth lifting mechanism drives the second sensor mounting frame to descend, so that the sensor of the second direction detection unit detects the line box, the fourth lifting mechanism ascends and resets, and the line box is conveyed to the third direction adjustment unit.
When the line box passes through the third direction adjusting unit, if the line box passes through the first direction detecting unit, the line box with the opening side facing to the horizontal direction is directly conveyed away; when the line box passes through the third direction adjusting unit, if the line box passes through the second direction detecting unit, the line box with the upward facing side detected by the second direction detecting unit is directly conveyed away; the line box is if the line box detects that the orientation of opening side is the line box down for being down by second direction detecting element when passing through second direction adjusting element when the line box passes through third direction adjusting element then fifth elevating system drive third fixture descends, third fixture holds the line box, the rising of fifth elevating system drive third fixture and the rotatory 180 of third rotary mechanism drive third fixture make the opening side of line box up, the descending of fifth elevating system and the clamping effect to the line box of loosening of third fixture, the rising of fifth elevating system resets, the line box is carried.
