[0055] In one embodiment, it further comprises a discharging collecting mechanism 9 at the outlet of the discharging conveyor 24 for receiving and collecting the end plate output by the discharging conveyor 24; the discharging collecting mechanism 9 comprises a discharging base frame 91, a collecting frame 92 slidingly installed on the discharging base frame 91, a stacker 93 movably installed on the collecting frame 92, and a stacker driver 94 installed on the collecting frame 92 for driving the stacker 93 to move on the collecting frame 92; the stacker 93 is installed with a roller 110; the discharging base frame 91 is also installed with a guide rail 113, the collecting frame 92 is installed with a moving roller 114 matched with the guide rail 113, and the discharging base frame 91 is also installed with a driving cylinder 115 for driving the collecting frame 92 to move on the guide rail 113; the discharging conveyor 24 is also installed with a discharging guide frame 95 for guiding the discharging of the end plate, a discharging pusher 96 installed on the discharging conveyor 24, and a push plate 97 installed on the discharging pusher 96 for pushing the end plate stacked on the stacker 93 on the discharging guide frame 95; the push plate 97 is installed with a sensor 17 for sensing the end plate;

[0056] Through the arrangement of the discharging collecting mechanism 9, the machined end plate is automatically collected, and the operator does not need to collect the discharging, only needs to take out the neatly stacked end plate;

[0057] During use: when the end plate moves along the roller 110 on the unloading conveyor 24 to the unloading guide frame 95, when the sensor 17 set on the pushing plate 97 senses the end plate, it sends a signal to the controller, the controller controls the unloading pusher 96 to start, the unloading pusher 96 drives the pushing plate 97 to move forward, the pushing plate 97 pushes the end plate leaning on the unloading guide frame 95 to the stacking rack 93 and stacks it on the stacking rack 93, and then starts the stacking driver 94 to drive the stacking rack 93 to move forward the distance of an end plate until the sensor 17 set on the stacking rack 93 senses the end plate, which indicates that the end plate on the stacking rack 93 is full, and sends a signal to the controller, the controller controls the driving cylinder 115 to start, and the driving cylinder 115 drives the collecting rack 92 to move, and moves the empty stacking rack 93 to the position where it is aligned with the unloading guide frame 95 for unloading and collection.

[0058] The use process of the present invention is as follows: first, the operator stacks the end plates on the automatic loading rack 13 through equipment or manually. After it is turned on, the end plates are transported one by one along the guide slope 112 to the upper conveyor 22 through the automatic loading mechanism 1. The upper conveyor 22 drives the end plates to move to the loading position 25, and then the end plates at the loading position 25 are grabbed by the manipulator 5 and transported to the machine tool 6 for machining. After the machining is completed, the machine tool 6 removes the end plates and places them on the unloading position 26 and moves them along the roller 110 to the lower conveyor 23. The lower conveyor 23 drives the end plates to continue moving until they move to the exit, and then the conveying motor 818 drives the conveying chain 817 to move the end plates to the rotating disk 8 12, and then the video detector 814 cooperates with the motor 834 to drive the rotating disk 812 to rotate so that the weld position on the end plate is consistent with the setting, thereby limiting the position of the end plate, and then the end plate on the rotating disk 812 is removed by the loading and unloading mechanism 83 and transported to the three-in-one processing mechanism 7 for drilling, punching and tapping of the end plate. After completion, it is transported to the unloading station 82 through the loading and unloading mechanism 83 and moved along the roller 27 to the unloading conveyor 24. The end plate is then driven by the unloading conveyor 24 to move to the unloading collection mechanism 9 and is collected and stacked by the unloading collection mechanism 9. Finally, the operator only needs to remove the stacked end plate through the equipment.

[0059] The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and its variations. Conventional modifications and replacements made by those skilled in the art based on the contents of this embodiment fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
