The capping machine is used to press the plunger into the product, the lifting machine is used to lift the product after the plunger is pressed in, so as to facilitate the second robot to grab, and the leak testing machine is used to test whether the product after welding leaks.

[0007] Preferably, it further comprises an automatic transfer vehicle, which automatically transports between the inspection table and the capping machine. The automatic transfer vehicle is used to automatically transport part of the products after inspection to the capping machine for capping.

[0008] Preferably, the corona machine conveying line is sequentially provided with a first conveying belt, a corona machine and a second conveying belt 33 in the conveying direction, the first conveying belt is provided with a first carrying mechanism above, and the second conveying belt 33 is provided with a second carrying mechanism above. The corona machine is used for surface treatment of the product, and the corona machine conveying line can realize the automatic process of continuously feeding the product, corona treatment of the product and output of the product.

[0009] Preferably, the first conveying belt and the second conveying belt 33 move synchronously.

[0010] Preferably, the first carrying mechanism and the second carrying mechanism move synchronously. The first carrying mechanism carries the product from the first conveying belt into the corona machine synchronously with the second carrying mechanism carrying the product from the corona machine onto the second conveying belt 33, and after carrying, the first conveying belt and the second conveying belt 33 move synchronously to the next position.

[0014] Preferably, the cooling conveying line is provided with a precision positioning tool outside the outlet.

[0015] Advantages:

[0016] 1. The application provides a cell factory automatic production line, which integrates injection molding, corona treatment, cooling, welding and leakage detection of the cell factory as a whole, improves the automation degree of cell factory production, reduces the labor intensity of operators, and guarantees the production efficiency and product quality.

[0017] 2. In cell factory production, a cooled workpiece and a workpiece with a plunger need to be welded together. This invention rationally plans two parallel processing routes. After injection molding and corona treatment, the workpieces are inspected on an inspection table. A portion of the qualified workpieces enters the cooling conveyor line, where they are cooled and then picked up by a second robot and placed into the welding machine. The other portion is transported by an automatic transfer vehicle to the capping machine. After capping, the workpieces are lifted by a hoist and picked up by the second robot and placed into the welding machine to weld the two workpieces together. The two processing routes operate simultaneously, and the data is collected by the second robot and fed into the welding machine, ensuring processing efficiency. Furthermore, because the two processing routes have different processing speeds, adjustments can be made promptly based on the processing situation to ensure a balanced number of workpieces produced by both routes.

[0018] 3. In the corona machine conveyor line, the first handling mechanism transports the product from the first conveyor belt to the corona machine, and the second handling mechanism transports the product from the corona machine to the second conveyor belt 33 simultaneously. After the transport, the first and second conveyor belts 33 advance synchronously one station. The corona machine conveyor line realizes the automated process of continuous product feeding, product corona treatment, and product outflow. The synchronous movement of the first and second handling mechanisms saves handling time and improves production efficiency.

[0019] 4. The cooling conveyor line cools the product before welding, reducing cooling time, improving production efficiency, and ensuring the quality of subsequent welding processes. The temperature of the multiple cooling boxes decreases sequentially according to the direction of movement of the third conveyor belt, allowing the product to cool gradually and preventing sudden temperature drops that could cause cracking.

[0020] 5. When products enter the cooling conveyor line, their position is somewhat arbitrary. Although the second robot can pick up the product, it cannot guarantee its placement in the welding machine, affecting welding quality. Therefore, this invention incorporates a precision positioning fixture. When the product exits the cooling conveyor line, the second robot picks it up and places it into the precision positioning fixture. This fixture accurately fixes the product in a specific position, ensuring that the second robot picks up the product in the same position each time, thus placing it in the fixed position on the welding machine. This achieves precise automatic feeding during the welding process, guaranteeing welding quality. Attached Figure Description
