Abstract
A detection device includes an installation plate, a lever member rotatably installed on the installation plate and rotatable between a first position and a second position, and a sensor installed on the installation plate and detecting whether the lever member is in the second position. The lever member is rotated from the first position to the second position under a pushing of an object when the object is supplied to a predetermined workstation. The lever member can be automatically reset to the first position under gravity when no object is supplied to the predetermined workstation. It is determined that the object is supplied to the predetermined workstation if the sensor detects that the lever member is in the second position and, if the sensor does not detect that the lever member is in the second position, it is determined that no object is supplied to the predetermined workstation.
