Detailed ways

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6 , an automatic aluminum parts sorting device involved in the present invention includes two conveyor belts 9 parallel to each other, and the loading tray 2 and the unloading tray 7 are respectively transported on the two conveyor belts 9, and the two A feeding conveyor belt 1 and a transfer mechanism 10 are erected between the conveyor belts 9, a gripper assembly 3 is erected on one end of the feeding conveyor belt 1, a robot 5 is erected on the other end, and a turntable 8 is also installed below the robot 5, There is a displacement sensor 4 facing the turntable 8 , a NG product unloading conveyor belt 11 is installed beside the conveyor belt 9 for conveying the unloading tray 7 , and the NG product unloading conveyor belt 11 is connected to the NG product unloading place 6 .

In use, the feeding mechanism 12 transports the feeding tray 2 loaded with the aluminum parts 101 to a conveyor belt 9, and then the jaws of the clamping jaw assembly 3 act to grasp the aluminum parts 101 on the feeding tray 2 with the jaws It is transferred to the feeding conveyor belt 1. After the aluminum parts 101 on the feeding tray 2 have been grasped, the conveyor belt 9 drives the empty feeding tray 2 to the bottom of the transfer mechanism 10, and then the transfer mechanism 10 will empty the empty The loading tray 2 is transported to another conveyor belt 9 as the unloading tray 7 .

The conveyor belt 1 transfers the aluminum parts 101 to the turntable 8. At this time, the robot 5 moves to grab the aluminum parts 101 on the feeding conveyor belt 1 and place them on the turntable 8.
