[0032] Furthermore, the raw material is roughly gourd-shaped, and has two welding positions on the raw material, one welding position is the neck, and the other welding position is the connection, and before the reversing unit drives the clamping jaw to flip in the vertical plane, the welding gun welds one of the welding positions. After the reversing unit drives the clamping jaw to flip in the vertical plane, the welding gun welds the other welding position.

[0033] The material storage unit comprises a material storage bin, and the raw materials are stored in the material storage bin. A discharge port is arranged at the bottom of the material storage bin, and the first material transport unit is used for driving the raw materials in the material storage bin to move out of the discharge port to the first work station.

[0035] Furthermore, a feed inlet is provided at the top of the storage bin, and the raw materials are put into the storage bin through the feed inlet.

[0036] A push plate inlet is provided on the storage bin, and the push plate inlet is arranged opposite to the discharge port.
