[0014] The patent of the present invention has positive effects: (1) The present invention positions and transfers the head by arranging a transport mechanism on the working platform. After the operator places the head on the supporting plate, the supporting plate is lifted by the drive of the first cylinder. The first cylinder transmits the power through the first rotating plate, which can ensure the safety and stability of the transmission. After the head is installed on the rotating mechanism, the supporting plate can be quickly separated from the head and reset. The supporting plate can be coordinated with the positioning component to center the head to improve the accuracy of the flush cutting of the head. The horizontal sliding of the sliding plate is driven by the driving motor, which ensures the stability of the sliding plate during horizontal sliding on the one hand, and on the other hand On the one hand, it also ensures that the head will not shift or rotate during the movement, and ensures that the center position of the head will not change. The rotating mechanism clamps the head and then starts to rotate. The head after center positioning can rotate evenly during the rotation process, and when the head is cut by the cutting mechanism, the head can be cut more smoothly and accurately. The problem of misalignment during splicing of the heads in the prior art, which causes welding inconvenience and affects the airtightness, is effectively solved. Through precise positioning and quick flush cutting, the flatness of the head edge is effectively guaranteed, which also lays the foundation for the later welding of the head, and ensures the airtightness of the later formed gas cylinder, which is safe and practical.

[0015] (2) The present invention arranges a second cylinder in the positioning assembly to drive the positioning block to extend and retract. The second cylinder can drive the positioning block to press against the head. The positioning block can also fix and center the head by cooperating with the supporting plate. The pressure of the positioning block on the head can ensure the stability and safety of the head during the transfer process, which is convenient and practical.

[0016] (3) The present invention provides a guide groove on the sliding plate, and the cooperation between the guide groove and the sliding plate ensures the stability of the connecting pipe during horizontal adjustment. The cooperation between the locking screw on the sliding plate and the adjustment groove limits the horizontal adjustment of the connecting pipe. The positioning block can adjust the position according to the actual size of the head. The cooperation between the locking screw and the sliding plate can also ensure the stability of the connecting pipe when the sliding plate moves. It is safe and practical.

[0017] (4) The present invention sets a fixed support on the sliding plate and rotatably sets the supporting plate on the fixed support, thereby ensuring the stability of the supporting plate during rotation. At the same time, the fixed support can also transfer part of the force exerted on the supporting plate from the head, thereby ensuring the safety of the supporting plate when supporting the head. At the same time, it also ensures the stability of the head when being supported, which is safe and practical.

[0018] (5) The present invention supports the head by configuring the supporting plate to be a cooperative connection between a bottom plate and a side plate. The bottom plate serves as a base to ensure the stability of the head when supported, and the pressure blocks on each side plate cooperate with the positioning blocks to fix the head on the positioning blocks and the supporting plate. This facilitates the positioning blocks to accurately position the center while also ensuring the stability of the head, thereby preventing the head from axial or radial displacement during the transfer process, thereby ensuring the safety of the head during transfer and providing accurate positioning for subsequent cutting.

[0019] (6) The present invention arranges the rotating mechanism so that the motor drives the main shaft to rotate, and the main shaft drives the connecting plate and the pneumatic chuck on the connecting plate to rotate. Because the pneumatic chuck is coaxially arranged with the positioning block, the pneumatic chuck can receive the accurately positioned head without deviation. After the positioning rod hits the inner wall of the head, the pneumatic chuck clamps the head from the inside. On the one hand, it can effectively ensure the accuracy and smoothness of receiving the head, and on the other hand, it also lays a precise foundation for the subsequent flush cutting, which is efficient and practical.

[0020] (7) The present invention sets a positioning sleeve on the outer sleeve of the main shaft, and fixes the positioning sleeve by the first clamp block and the second clamp block. The positioning sleeve can effectively ensure that the main shaft will not have radial and axial jumps when it is active. In addition, the pressure arc grooves on the first clamp block and the second clamp block can tightly press the positioning sleeve to ensure that the positioning sleeve will not have radial and axial rotation. At the same time, the lifting and lowering coordination of the second clamp block and each connecting rod can meet the requirements of different main shafts and different positioning sleeve sizes, ensuring the stability of the main shaft during rotation, and also ensuring the stability of the head during rotation and cutting. It is convenient and practical.

[0021] (8) The present invention adjusts the cutting position of the tool holder by setting the cooperation between the positioning shaft and the positioning hole, and fixes the tool holder by adjusting the cooperation between the screw and the locking nut. After the tool holder is fixed, the cutting position and cutting direction of the cutting knife are also fixed. On the one hand, it ensures that the tool holder can be applied to heads of different sizes and can be adjusted according to the actual size. On the other hand, it ensures that the cutting knife will not jump or deviate during cutting, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of flush cutting.

[0022] (9) The present invention provides a cover on the working platform to protect the components on the working platform from dust, thereby effectively ensuring the cleanliness of the main shaft, driving pulley and driven pulley on the working platform, avoiding wear of the main shaft, driving pulley and driven pulley due to dust or impurities, and is safe and practical.

[0023] (10) The present invention arranges a dustproof component on the cover shell, drives the second rotating plate to rotate through the third cylinder, and the second rotating plate drives the rotating shaft and the dust cover on the rotating shaft to rotate. On the one hand, the shielding angle of the dust cover can be accurately controlled by the drive of the third cylinder, and on the other hand, sparks, impurities or debris generated by cutting can be prevented from falling randomly, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the cutting environment and being efficient and practical.
