[0108] The pallet loading assembly includes a frame 1021, a bottom plate 1025 is installed at the bottom end of the frame 1021, a movable plate 1026 is movably installed on the bottom plate 1025 through a linear slide rail 1027, a handle 1029 is installed on the movable plate 1026, and a single-axis robot 1022 is provided on one side of the frame 1021, a cylinder 1024 is installed on the single-axis robot 1022, so that the single-axis robot 1022 cooperates with the cylinder 1024 to form a secondary stroke, a plurality of pallets 1023 are stacked on the cylinder 1024, and the pallet 1023 is placed in the frame 1021, so that when the single-axis robot 1022 is turned on, the pallet 1023 moves along the length of the frame 1021, and an opening is provided at the bottom end of the other side of the frame 1021, so that when the pallet 1023 moves to the movable plate 1026, A clamping block 1028 is installed on the movable plate 1026. When the pallet 1023 is moved onto the movable plate 1026, the pallet 1023 is fixed by the clamping block 1028. At the same time, an opening 2 10210 is provided on the movable plate 1026. The position of the opening 2 10210 corresponds to the cylinder 1024. Therefore, when the handle 1029 is pulled, the stacked pallet 1023 can be taken out; at the same time, a photoelectric sensor 10212 is installed at the top of the frame 1021 with full pallets stacked on it through a sensor mounting seat 10211. When the pallet 1023 is transferred by the pallet transfer assembly 111, the photoelectric sensor 10212 does not sense the pallet 1023 and transmits a signal, so that the cylinder 1024 in one pallet loading assembly rises one pallet position, and the cylinder 1024 in the other pallet loading assembly drops one pallet position.

[0109] In the initial state, the cylinders 1024 in the two pallet loading assemblies are both located at the bottom end of the single-axis robot 1022, and the cylinders 1024 are both in a zero-stroke state. First, the moving plate 1026 of a pallet loading assembly is pulled out, and the pallet 1023 full of workpieces is manually placed on the moving plate 1026, and then put back on the moving plate 1026. Then, the single-axis robot 1022 in one pallet loading assembly is turned on, and the single-axis robot 1022 moves the pallet 1023 full of workpieces to the top. When all the workpieces in the pallet 1023 full of workpieces are moved out, the single-axis robot 1022 and the cylinder 1024 in the other pallet loading assembly are turned on. At this time, the cylinder 1024 in the other pallet loading assembly is in a full stroke. Then, the pallet transfer component 111 moves the empty pallet 1023 to the cylinder 1024 in another pallet loading component. At this time, the photoelectric sensor 10212 does not sense the pallet 1023 and transmits a signal, causing the cylinder 1024 in one pallet loading component to rise one pallet position and the cylinder 1024 in the other pallet loading component to fall one pallet position. The above operation is repeated continuously, thereby ensuring that the empty pallet is stacked in another pallet loading component during continuous operation; when all the workpieces in the pallet loading components enter the operation process, the single-axis robots 1022 in the two pallet loading components drive the moving plate 1026 to move to the bottom, and then the staff takes out the empty pallet and puts in the full pallet at the same time, and then repeats the above operation.

[0110] Please focus on Fig.12 The pallet transfer assembly 111 includes a single-axis robot 1111, a fixed frame 1112 is installed on the single-axis robot 1111, and a plurality of suction cups 1114 are installed on the fixed frame 1112 through a suction cup fixing frame 1113 and a downward pressure cylinder 1115. The single-axis robot 1111 is used to drive the suction cups 1114 to move between two pallet loading assemblies, thereby transferring empty pallets.

[0111] In the initial state, the suction cup 1114 is located directly above the empty pallet to avoid interfering with other work processes. When all the workpieces in the pallet 1023 are moved to the fixture 14, the single-axis robot 1111 is turned on to move the suction cup 1114 to the top of the empty pallet to be moved. Then the downward pressure cylinder 1115 and the suction cup 1114 are turned on to suck the empty pallet. Finally, the single-axis robot 1111 moves the empty pallet to another pallet loading assembly.

[0112] Please focus on Fig.13The robot assembly 103 includes an industrial robot 1031, a plurality of chucks 1034 mounted on the industrial robot 1031 through a mounting seat 1033, the chucks 1034 cooperate with the industrial robot 1031 to clamp the workpiece on the tray 1023, and a visual positioning assembly 1032 mounted on the industrial robot 1031.

[0114] Therefore, the industrial robot 1031 drives the chuck 1034 to move to the top of the full pallet, and then the chuck 1034 clamps the workpieces in the pallet 1023 one by one, and the visual positioning component 1032 determines the position of the workpiece, so as to determine whether the chuck 1034 clamps the workpiece and whether the pallet 1023 is empty.

[0115] Please focus on Fig.14 The waterproof and breathable membrane loading component 104 includes a material dial 1044, a material tray 1041 installed on the material dial 1044, a positioning seat 1042 located just in front of one end of the material dial 1044 away from the material tray 1041, and a circular groove 1043 is provided on the positioning seat 1042. The film roll is placed on the material tray 1041, and the circular film on the film roll has been preliminarily cut. Then, the waterproof and breathable membrane loading component 104 cooperates with the film suction robot 106 to peel the circular film from the film roll and suck it into the component 10 on the fixture 14.

[0116] Please focus on Fig.15 The film suction robot 106 includes an industrial robot 1031 and a film suction nozzle 1061 mounted on the industrial robot 1031 through a mounting seat 1033. The visual positioning component 1032 is mounted on the mounting seat 1033 for determining the position of the circular film.

[0117] When the jig 14 is at the film loading station, the lifting assembly 112 limits the movement of the jig 14, thereby starting the film loading operation; first, the industrial robot 1031 moves the film suction nozzle 1061 to the top of the positioning seat 1042, and then the visual positioning assembly 1032 determines whether the circular film is in the position of the circular groove 1043. If so, the industrial robot 1031 is turned on to cooperate with the film suction nozzle 1061 to press the circular film down into the circular groove 1043, and at the same time stop the rotation of the film roll, and then the film suction nozzle 1061 sucks the detached circular film, and then transfers the film to the component 10, and finally the industrial robot 1031 returns to the initial position and repeats the above operation.

[0118] Please focus on Fig.16 The hot melt assembly 107 includes a hot melt seat 1071, a single-axis robot 1072 installed on the hot melt seat 1071, and a floating hot melt head 1073 installed on the single-axis robot 1072.

[0119] When the component 10 after film application moves to the hot melt station, the lifting assembly 112 limits the movement of the fixture 14, thereby starting the hot melt operation; the single-axis robot 1072 and the floating hot melt head 1073 are turned on to hot-melt the film onto the component 10 to form an assembly 17.

[0121] First, the transfer component 108 places component 17 into the groove 1092. At the same time, due to the setting of the O-ring 2 1093, when water flows into the groove 1092, water does not flow out from the gap between component 17 and the watertightness detection seat 1091, thereby improving the measurement accuracy. In the initial stage, the pressure switch is provided with a preset value. When the water pressure exceeds this preset value after the water is passed, a signal will be transmitted, indicating that the product is watertight and qualified, and the transfer component 108 will transfer the workpiece back to the fixture 14. When the water pressure is lower than this preset value, it indicates that the product is unqualified, and the transfer component 108 will then transfer the workpiece to the NG box 113.
