the candle wick correcting mechanism comprises a mechanical arm and an air claw and is used for correcting the candle wick to be in a vertical state according to the control instruction.
8. A candle wick correction system according to claim 7, further comprising an encoder for recording a position at which the candle barrel to be corrected is photographed and a position at which the candle barrel to be corrected is corrected; and calculating a first distance through the reading of the encoder, wherein the first distance is the distance from the photographing position to the correction position.
9. The candle wick correction system according to claim 7, wherein the control instructions specifically comprise:
controlling a manipulator to drive an air claw to rotate by a first angle, so that the air claw moves to a clamping space coordinate of the candle wick, wherein the first angle is an angle projected by the candle wick to a horizontal plane;
the gas claw is controlled to clamp the candle wick, and the manipulator drives the gas claw to push the candle wick to move to the straightening space coordinate, so that the candle wick is corrected to be in a vertical state.
10. The candle wick correction system of claim 8, further comprising a defective product pushing mechanism, the defective product pushing mechanism comprising a pusher; the encoder is also used for identifying the position of the defective products on the conveying belt, and the pushing machine is used for pushing the defective products to a defective product recycling position.
