[0002] The engine mounting system is a key connecting component between the vehicle's powertrain and the vehicle body. It mainly supports the weight of the engine, isolates vibration transmission, and reduces noise. The hydraulic mounts in the engine mounting system are based on the principles of fluid mechanics and elasticity. They consume vibration energy through fluid flow and viscous friction to achieve a shock absorption effect.

[0003] Currently, the automation level of hydraulically mounted flow channel plates and decoupling membrane assembly equipment is low. Moreover, due to the variety of shapes and sizes of flow channel plates, manual assembly can easily lead to the mixing of flow channel plates and decoupling membranes of different sizes. This requires continuous manual inspection, which consumes a lot of manpower and cannot guarantee product consistency. The risk of defective products flowing out is extremely high.

[0019] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0020] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "a few" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0021] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 13 The assembly equipment for the flow channel plate and decoupling membrane provided in this application will now be described. The assembly equipment includes: a turntable 1 and, sequentially arranged around the turntable 1, a lower flow channel plate feeding mechanism, a decoupling membrane feeding mechanism 4, an upper flow channel plate feeding mechanism, and a welding machine 7, which feeds upper flow channel plates, decoupling membranes, and lower flow channel plates of different shapes onto corresponding positioning fixtures. The welding machine 7 welds the stacked square upper flow channel plate, decoupling membrane, and lower flow channel plate into a single unit.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the assembly equipment for flow channel plates and decoupling membranes provided in this application are as follows: Compared with the prior art, flow channel plates of different shapes can be assembled using a single set of equipment. Square flow channel plates and round flow channel plates can be assembled alternately on a single set of equipment. The turntable 1 is equipped with multiple alternating positioning fixtures, and feeding mechanisms corresponding to flow channel plates of different shapes are set on the outer periphery of the turntable 1. Different feeding mechanisms feed flow channel plates of different shapes, reducing the risk of misassembly and mixing caused by human assembly. This avoids the problem of mixed materials and incorrect feeding, eliminates the problem of defective products caused by mixed materials and incorrect feeding, and also ensures the consistency of product assembly, reduces the scrap rate of assembled products, and improves the quality of assembled products. Furthermore, by utilizing the rotation of the turntable 1 and the multiple feeding mechanisms in coordination, the turntable 1 rotates to different feeding mechanisms to feed different materials. Each positioning fixture can be fed simultaneously, and after the flow channel plates and decoupling membranes are stacked, they enter the welding machine 7 to be welded together to achieve the final assembly into a product. This greatly improves the degree of automated assembly, enables continuous assembly production, shortens the production cycle, and improves assembly efficiency.

[0023] In some embodiments, see Figure 2As shown, multiple square positioning fixtures 11 and circular positioning fixtures 12 are alternately distributed along the circumference of the turntable 1; wherein, the square positioning fixture 11 is provided with a square positioning groove for assembling the square flow channel plate and the square decoupling membrane, and the circular positioning fixture 12 is provided with a circular positioning groove for assembling the circular flow channel plate and the circular decoupling membrane.

[0024] Correspondingly, the square lower flow channel plate feeding mechanism 2, the circular lower flow channel plate feeding mechanism 3, the decoupling membrane feeding mechanism 4, the square upper flow channel plate feeding mechanism 5, the circular upper flow channel plate feeding mechanism 6, and the welding machine 7, arranged sequentially around the outer perimeter of the turntable 1, feed upper flow channel plates, decoupling membranes, and lower flow channel plates of different specifications onto the corresponding positioning fixtures; the decoupling membrane feeding mechanism 4 feeds the square or circular decoupling membranes onto the square or circular lower flow channel plates respectively; the welding machine 7 welds the stacked square upper flow channel plates, square decoupling membranes, and square lower flow channel plates into one piece, or welds the stacked circular lower flow channel plates, circular decoupling membranes, and circular upper flow channel plates into one piece.

[0025] This application uses square and circular flow channel plates as examples because the commonly used decoupling membrane components are square or circular. However, the assembly equipment provided in this application is not limited to circular and square shapes, but can also be pentagonal, hexagonal, or other polygonal decoupling membrane components. The shape of the positioning fixture can be changed accordingly.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the assembly equipment for flow channel plates and decoupling membranes provided in this application are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the assembly of square flow channel plates and circular flow channel plates uses a single set of equipment. Square and circular flow channel plates can be assembled alternately on a single set of equipment. The turntable 1 is equipped with multiple alternating square positioning fixtures 11 and circular positioning fixtures 12. In conjunction with the feeding mechanisms for flow channel plates of different shapes set on the outer periphery of the turntable 1, different feeding mechanisms feed flow channel plates of different shapes, reducing the risk of misassembly or mixing caused by human assembly, thereby avoiding the problems of material mixing and incorrect feeding. This eliminates the problem of defective products caused by mixed loading and incorrect material loading, and also ensures the consistency of product assembly, reduces the scrap rate of assembled products, and improves the quality of assembled products. By utilizing the rotation of turntable 1 and the cooperation of multiple feeding mechanisms, turntable 1 rotates to different feeding mechanisms to feed different materials. Each positioning fixture can be fed at the same time, and after the flow channel plate and decoupling membrane are stacked, they enter the welding machine 7 to be welded together to achieve the final assembly into a product. This greatly improves the degree of automated assembly, enables continuous assembly production, shortens the production cycle, and improves assembly efficiency.

[0027] The turntable 1 in this application is equipped with a drive motor at its bottom. Driving the turntable 1 to achieve 360° rotation via the drive motor is a conventional technical means. Through the rotation of the turntable 1, the square positioning fixture 11 and the circular positioning fixture 12 can be stopped at different feeding mechanisms, which facilitates feeding by different feeding mechanisms. The number of positioning fixtures on the turntable 1 corresponds to the number of assembly stations.

[0028] The turntable 1 of this application is provided with evenly distributed weight-reducing holes. While reducing weight and consumables, it is necessary to maintain the balance of each part of the turntable 1 and avoid local imbalance that could cause unstable rotation.

[0029] For example, the turntable 1 is equipped with 8 square positioning fixtures 11 and 8 circular positioning fixtures 12. Starting from the square lower runner plate feeding mechanism 2, the square lower runner plate is first fed onto the rotating empty square positioning fixture 11. The turntable 1 continues to rotate, and the square positioning fixture 11 with the square lower runner plate is rotated to the position of the decoupling membrane feeding mechanism 4, and the decoupling membrane is fed onto the square lower runner plate. At the same time, the next empty square positioning fixture 11 rotates to the square lower runner plate feeding mechanism 2 to continue feeding the square lower runner plate. The rotation continues to the position of the square upper flow channel plate loading mechanism 5, where the square upper flow channel plate is loaded onto the decoupling membrane. Turntable 1 continues to rotate until it reaches the welding machine 7 position. A robotic arm around turntable 1 welds the stacked square upper flow channel plate, square decoupling membrane, and square lower flow channel plate together, completing the assembly of the flow channel plate and decoupling membrane. Another robotic arm then removes the assembled product from welding machine 7, grinds the weld seams, and after passing inspection, the product is unloaded into a product box using a robotic arm. This cycle allows for continuous product assembly, improving assembly efficiency.

[0030] Of course, each feeding mechanism can be equipped with a vision camera to inspect the feeding. Materials that fail the inspection can be removed and not entered into the assembly process. This removes unqualified materials from the source and avoids the phenomenon of wasting assembly costs and time by discovering unqualified materials after assembly is completed.

[0031] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 As shown, each circular positioning fixture 12 is provided with a positioning protrusion 13. Since the square positioning fixture 11 corresponds to the square flow channel plate and has a self-positioning function, while the circular positioning fixture 12 has no directionality, it is necessary to provide positioning protrusions 13 to fit the positioning holes on the circular lower flow channel plate, so as to avoid the phenomenon of the circular lower flow channel plate being misaligned due to self-rotation during the rotation of the turntable 1 after being fed onto the circular positioning fixture 12.

[0032] In some embodiments, see Figures 3 to 8As shown, the square downflow plate feeding mechanism 2 includes: a square downflow plate feeding vibratory plate 23 and a square downflow plate feeding channel 25, a square downflow plate feeding pushing assembly 22, and a square downflow plate gripping assembly 21 connected to the square downflow plate feeding vibratory plate 23.

[0033] See Figure 8 The square downflow plate feeding vibratory plate 23 and the square downflow plate feeding channel 25 connected to the square downflow plate feeding vibratory plate 23 are used to place several square downflow plates into the square downflow plate feeding vibratory plate 23. The square downflow plates are made to enter the square downflow plate feeding channel 25 by vibration. The square downflow plate feeding channel 25 is tilted towards the turntable 1, so that the square downflow plates can slide down into the square downflow plate receiving tray 222.

[0034] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 The square downflow plate feeding and pushing assembly 22 includes a square downflow plate receiving tray 222 and a square downflow plate pushing cylinder 221. The square downflow plate pushing cylinder 221 pushes the square downflow plate receiving tray 222 to connect with the square downflow plate feeding channel 25, and after the square downflow plate slides into the square downflow plate receiving tray 222, it pushes the square downflow plate receiving tray 222 away from the square downflow plate feeding channel 25. The square downflow plate pushing cylinder 221 pushes the square downflow plate receiving tray 222 to reciprocate tangentially along the turntable 1, pushing the square downflow plate receiving tray 222 to connect with the square downflow plate feeding channel 25, receiving the square downflow plate sliding down along the square downflow plate feeding channel 25, and then pushing the square downflow plate receiving tray 222 to the square downflow plate feeding channel 25. Below the pneumatic gripper 213 of the flow channel plate, the cylinder rod of the pneumatic gripper 213 of the square lower flow channel plate extends downward, and at the same time the gripper opens to pick up the square lower flow channel plate and lift it up. Then, it moves radially along the turntable 1 through the first two-dimensional moving slide rail 211 until the pneumatic gripper 213 of the square lower flow channel plate moves to the top of the square positioning fixture 11. Then it moves downward to put the square lower flow channel plate into the square positioning fixture 11. At this time, the square lower flow channel plate is detected by the set vision camera. When there is a quality problem with the square lower flow channel plate, the pneumatic gripper 213 of the square lower flow channel plate puts the square lower flow channel plate back into the square lower flow channel plate receiving tray 222. It slides down into the square lower flow channel plate waste collection box 242 through the connected square lower flow channel plate waste recycling channel 241, realizing the removal and collection of waste.

[0035] See Figure 3 and Figure 5The square downflow plate gripping assembly 21 includes a first two-dimensional moving slide rail 211, a square downflow plate lifting slider 212 connected to the first two-dimensional moving slide rail 211, and a square downflow plate pneumatic gripper 213 connected to the square downflow plate lifting slider 212. The first two-dimensional moving slide rail 211 has a first radial slide rail that moves radially along the turntable 1 and a first lifting slide rail that is perpendicular to the first radial slide rail, providing two degrees of freedom of movement. The square downflow plate pneumatic gripper 213 loads the square downflow plate from the square downflow plate receiving tray 222 onto the square positioning fixture 11.

[0036] It should be noted that each feeding mechanism includes a feeding bracket, and each component in the feeding mechanism is mounted on the feeding bracket or has its own bracket for support. These components are not labeled individually in the figure.

[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The square lower flow plate feeding and pushing assembly 22 also includes a square lower flow plate feeding and pushing slide rail 224 and a square lower flow plate feeding and pushing slider 223 that is slidably fitted on the square lower flow plate feeding and pushing slide rail 224. The cylinder rod of the square lower flow plate pushing cylinder 221 is connected to the square lower flow plate feeding and pushing slider 223. The square lower flow plate receiving tray 222 is fixed on the square lower flow plate feeding and pushing slider 223.

[0038] Among them, the square lower flow plate feeding push slide rail 224 is tangent to the outer circle of the turntable 1, and the square lower flow plate pushing cylinder 221 pushes the square lower flow plate receiving plate 222 to move back and forth along the square lower flow plate feeding push slide rail 224 at the feeding position and the receiving position, so as to realize the stability of the movement of the square lower flow plate receiving plate 222.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The square downflow plate feeding push assembly 22 also includes a square downflow plate feeding bracket and a square downflow plate receiving tray limiting post 225 disposed on the square downflow plate feeding bracket; the square downflow plate feeding push slide rail 224 is installed on the square downflow plate feeding bracket. When the square downflow plate receiving tray 222 moves to the feeding position, it abuts against the square downflow plate receiving tray limiting post 225, thereby limiting the square downflow plate receiving tray 222.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 8The square downflow plate feeding mechanism 2 also includes: a square downflow plate waste collection assembly 24; the square downflow plate waste collection assembly 24 includes a square downflow plate waste collection box 242 and a square downflow plate waste recycling channel 241; the square downflow plate waste recycling channel 241 is inclinedly arranged between the square downflow plate waste collection box 242 and the square downflow plate feeding push assembly 22; the square downflow plate push cylinder 221 pushes the square downflow plate receiving tray 222 to selectively connect to either the square downflow plate feeding channel 25 or the square downflow plate waste recycling channel 241, and the square downflow plate waste is grabbed by the square downflow plate pneumatic gripper 213 and slides down the square downflow plate waste recycling channel 241 into the square downflow plate waste collection box 242.

[0041] This allows for the timely removal of substandard or defective products, preventing them from entering the assembly process and affecting the final product quality.

[0042] It should be noted that the basic structure and operation process of the circular lower runner plate feeding mechanism 3, the square upper runner plate feeding mechanism, and the circular lower runner plate feeding mechanism in this application are the same as those of the square lower runner plate feeding mechanism 2. The square lower runner plate feeding mechanism 2 can also grab the circular lower runner plate and the circular decoupling membrane. Therefore, they will not be described in detail in this paper. In the figure, each feeding mechanism is simply marked with a serial number, and each component is not labeled in detail.

[0043] Of course, the circular lower runner plate feeding mechanism 3 is different from the square lower runner plate feeding mechanism 2. The difference is that since there is a positioning protrusion 13 on the circular positioning fixture 12, when the positioning hole on the gripped circular lower runner plate cannot be aligned with the positioning protrusion 13, the circular lower runner plate pneumatic gripper needs to be rotated and adjusted. Therefore, the circular lower runner plate feeding mechanism 3 also includes a rotary cylinder. The circular lower runner plate pneumatic gripper is mounted on the rotary cylinder. The angle of the circular lower runner plate is adjusted by rotating the rotary cylinder so that the circular lower runner plate is correctly fed onto the circular positioning fixture 12.

[0044] In some embodiments, see Figures 9 to 13 The decoupling membrane feeding mechanism 4 includes: a decoupling membrane feeding vibratory plate 43, a decoupling membrane feeding channel 44 connected to the decoupling membrane feeding vibratory plate 43, a decoupling membrane feeding pushing component 42, and a decoupling membrane gripping component 41.

[0045] The decoupling membrane feeding vibratory plate 43 has a similar structure and working principle to the square downflow plate vibratory plate. Both feed the decoupling membrane into the inclined decoupling membrane feeding channel 44 through vibration, and then slide it onto the decoupling membrane receiving plate 421 connected to the decoupling membrane feeding channel 44.

[0046] A vision camera is installed on the outside of the turntable 1 at the position corresponding to the decoupling membrane feeding mechanism 4 to identify circular and square decoupling membranes and feed them onto the square or circular lower flow channel plate that has been rotated to the feeding position.

[0047] See Figure 13 The decoupling membrane feeding and pushing assembly 42 includes a decoupling membrane receiving tray 421 and a decoupling membrane pushing cylinder 422; the decoupling membrane pushing cylinder 422 pushes the decoupling membrane receiving tray 421 to connect with the decoupling membrane feeding channel 44, and pushes the decoupling membrane receiving tray 421 away from the decoupling membrane feeding channel 44 after the decoupling membrane slides into the decoupling membrane receiving tray 421.

[0048] The decoupling membrane feeding and pushing assembly 42 has the same structure and operation as the square lower flow channel plate feeding and pushing assembly 22. The difference lies in the structure of the decoupling membrane receiving tray 421 and the square lower flow channel plate receiving tray 222. The decoupling membrane receiving tray 421 is adapted to the shape of the decoupling membrane, while the square lower flow channel plate receiving tray 222 is adapted to the shape of the square lower flow channel plate.

[0049] See Figure 11 and Figure 12 The decoupling membrane gripping assembly 41 includes a decoupling membrane gripping bracket, a second two-dimensional moving slide rail 411 disposed on the decoupling membrane gripping bracket, a decoupling membrane lifting cylinder 412 disposed on the second two-dimensional moving slide rail 411, and a decoupling membrane feeding suction cup disposed on the decoupling membrane lifting cylinder 412; the decoupling membrane feeding suction cup feeds the decoupling membrane on the decoupling membrane receiving tray 421 onto the square or circular lower flow channel plate.

[0050] The second two-dimensional moving slide rail 411 has the freedom to move radially along the turntable 1 and tangentially along the turntable 1. The decoupling membrane lifting cylinder 412 drives the decoupling membrane feeding suction cup to move up and down. The second two-dimensional moving slide rail 411 drives the decoupling membrane feeding suction cup to move radially, which can realize the switching of the decoupling membrane between the positioning fixture and the decoupling membrane receiving tray 421, so as to realize the feeding of the decoupling membrane onto the positioning fixture or the unqualified waste products onto the decoupling membrane receiving tray 421. The second two-dimensional moving slide rail 411 drives the decoupling membrane feeding suction cup to move tangentially, which can realize the switching of feeding of square decoupling membranes and circular decoupling membranes.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 11 The decoupling membrane feeding suction cup includes a circular decoupling membrane feeding suction cup 413 and a square decoupling membrane feeding suction cup 414 connected to the decoupling membrane lifting cylinder 412. The decoupling membrane feeding suction cup can be switched between square and circular decoupling membranes by driving the movement of the decoupling membrane feeding suction cup along the tangential direction through the second two-dimensional moving slide rail 411.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 12The decoupling membrane gripping assembly 41 also includes a suction cup switching assembly for switching the circular decoupling membrane feeding suction cup 413 and the square decoupling membrane feeding suction cup 414 to the suction position; therefore, in this application, the square decoupling membrane and the circular decoupling membrane can share a single decoupling membrane feeding mechanism 4.

[0053] The second two-dimensional moving slide rail 411 includes a second radial slide rail that moves along the diameter of the turntable 1, a radial slider that cooperates with the second radial slide rail, a tangential slider disposed on the second radial slide rail, and a tangential slide rail 418 that slides on the tangential slider. In this application, the slider is a relatively fixed component, and the slide rail is a relatively moving component. The second radial slide rail drives the decoupling membrane feeding suction cup to move radially, enabling the decoupling membrane to switch between the positioning fixture and the decoupling membrane receiving tray 421, so as to feed the decoupling membrane onto the positioning fixture or unload defective waste products onto the decoupling membrane receiving tray 421. The tangential slide rail 418 drives the decoupling membrane feeding suction cup to move tangentially, enabling the switching feeding of square decoupling membranes and circular decoupling membranes.

[0054] See Figure 12 The suction cup switching assembly includes a switching feeding cylinder 415 and a decoupling membrane lifting cylinder 412 mounted on a tangential slide rail 418. The switching feeding cylinder 415 pushes the tangential slide rail 418 to move back and forth to switch the circular decoupling membrane feeding suction cup 413 and the square decoupling membrane feeding suction cup 414 to the suction position.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 12 The suction cup switching assembly also includes a square decoupling membrane feeding and positioning structure and a circular decoupling membrane feeding and positioning structure; the square decoupling membrane feeding and positioning structure includes a first positioning block 419 fixed on the second radial slide rail and a first positioning post 420 fixed on the tangential slide rail 418; when the first positioning post 420 moves with the tangential slide rail 418 to abut the first positioning block 419, it positions the suction position of the square decoupling membrane feeding suction cup 414.

[0056] The circular decoupling membrane feeding and positioning structure includes a second positioning block 417 fixed on a tangential slide rail 418 and a second positioning post 416 fixed on a second radial slide rail. When the second positioning block 417 moves with the tangential slide rail 418 to abut the second positioning post 416, it positions the suction position of the circular decoupling membrane feeding suction cup 413.

[0057] By using the positioning structure of the square decoupling membrane feeding suction cup 414 and the round decoupling membrane feeding suction cup 413, the risk of mixing and incorrectly loading the square decoupling membrane and the round decoupling membrane can be avoided. When the material at the decoupling membrane feeding position of the turntable 1 is a square lower flow channel plate, the switching feeding cylinder 415 drives the tangential slide rail 418 to move tangentially toward the decoupling membrane receiving tray 421. When the first positioning post 420 abuts against the first positioning block 419, the square decoupling membrane feeding suction cup 414 is directly opposite the square decoupling membrane below. The decoupling membrane lifting cylinder 412 pushes the square decoupling membrane suction cup down to pick up the square decoupling membrane, and then moves it to the square lower flow channel plate on the turntable 1 through the second radial slide rail to feed the square decoupling membrane onto the square lower flow channel plate.

[0058] When a circular decoupling membrane needs to be fed, the feeding cylinder 415 drives the tangential slide rail 418 to retract until the second positioning block 417 abuts against the second positioning post 416. The circular decoupling membrane feeding suction cup 413 is located above the decoupling membrane receiving tray 421, picks up the circular decoupling membrane, and moves with the second radial slide rail to the circular lower flow channel plate on the turntable 1, feeding the circular decoupling membrane onto the circular lower flow channel plate.

[0059] Taking an example where eight square positioning fixtures 11 and eight circular positioning fixtures 12 are alternately arranged on turntable 1, the complete assembly process of this application is as follows: Several square downflow plates are placed into the square downflow plate feeding vibratory plate 23, several round downflow plates are placed into the round downflow plate feeding vibratory plate, and round decoupling membranes and square decoupling membranes are placed into the decoupling membrane feeding vibratory plate 43. At the same time, square upflow plates and round upflow plates are also placed into the corresponding feeding mechanisms. The square lower flow plate is moved into the square lower flow plate feeding channel 25 by the vibration of the square lower flow plate feeding vibrating plate 23, and then slides down into the connected square lower flow plate receiving tray 222.

[0060] The square lower flow channel plate pushing cylinder 221 pushes the square lower flow channel plate receiving tray 222 to move tangentially along the turntable 1, pushing the square lower flow channel plate receiving tray 222 to below the square lower flow channel plate pneumatic gripper 213. The cylinder rod of the square lower flow channel plate pneumatic gripper 213 extends downward, and at the same time the gripper opens to pick up the square lower flow channel plate and lift it up. Then it moves radially along the turntable 1 via the first radial slide rail until the square lower flow channel plate pneumatic gripper 213 moves to the square positioning fixture 11. The square flow channel plate is moved upwards and then downwards to place it into the square positioning fixture 11. At this time, the square flow channel plate is inspected by the set vision camera. When there is a quality problem with the square flow channel plate, the pneumatic gripper 213 of the square flow channel plate puts the square flow channel plate into the square flow channel plate receiving tray 222. It then slides into the square flow channel plate waste collection box 242 through the connected square flow channel plate waste recycling channel 241, realizing the removal and collection of waste.

[0061] At this time, the circular lower flow channel plate feeding mechanism 3 can simultaneously feed the circular lower flow channel plate onto the circular positioning fixture 12. The process is the same as that of the square lower flow channel plate feeding, and will not be described again.

[0062] Turntable 1 continues to rotate. When the circular lower flow channel plate rotates to the decoupling film feeding mechanism 4, the decoupling film feeding mechanism 4 feeds the circular decoupling film prepared on the decoupling film receiving tray 421 onto the circular lower flow channel plate. Turntable 1 continues to rotate. When the square lower flow channel plate rotates to the decoupling film feeding mechanism 4, the decoupling film feeding mechanism 4 feeds the square decoupling film prepared on the decoupling film receiving tray 421 onto the square lower flow channel plate.

[0063] When turntable 1 continues to rotate to the square upper flow channel plate feeding mechanism 5 and the round upper flow channel plate feeding mechanism 6, the square upper flow channel plate is fed onto the square decoupling membrane, and the round upper flow channel plate is fed onto the round decoupling membrane. Then, the robotic arm picks them up and puts them onto the welding machine 7 for welding. After welding, the robotic arm picks them up and puts them onto the grinding station on turntable 1 for grinding. After passing the inspection, the robotic arm or robot unloads them into the spare finished product box outside turntable 1.

[0064] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
