step A8: the robot 4 arranges the rubber plugs 9 with the correct posture into the arrangement area 8, the robot 4 transfers the rubber plugs 9 with the incorrect posture to the turnover mechanism 10 until the rubber plugs 9 with the correct kind in the working area 7 are sorted, and the step A2 is returned;
step A9: the robot 4 arranges the rubber plugs 9 with the correct posture into the arrangement area 8, and executes the step A12, and the robot 4 transfers the rubber plugs 9 with the incorrect posture onto the turnover mechanism 10 and executes the step A10;
step A10: the turnover mechanism 10 turns over the rubber plug 9 with the incorrect posture onto the transfer table 5, ensures that the posture of the rubber plug 9 is correct, and executes the step A11;
step A11: the robot 4 arranges the turned rubber plugs 9 with the correct posture into the arrangement area 8, and executes the step a 12;
step A12: and after the controller counts or counts in a similar way that the arrangement area 8 is full of the rubber plugs 9, the robot 4 stacks the rubber plugs 9 in the arrangement area 8 onto the stacking table 6, and the process is completed.
The automatic sorting and feeding device is used for automatically sorting and feeding rubber plugs 9, and due to the high flexibility and high adaptability of the operation of the robot 4, sorting and stacking and feeding of the rubber plugs 9 in various specifications and postures can be realized only by one robot 4 and the visual system 3, so that the occupied space and the configuration cost can be greatly reduced.
While the invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
