Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of automated processing equipment technology, specifically to a welding device. Background Technology
[0002] In machining, workpieces need to be assembled and then welded together. Currently, during machining, two workpieces are assembled manually, and then welded manually. However, manual welding poses certain health risks, is inefficient, and cannot guarantee a high yield rate. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to propose a welding device that can automatically combine the first workpiece and the second workpiece and automatically perform welding, so as to improve welding efficiency and yield.
[0004] This application provides a welding device, including: a processing module, comprising a support frame, a first pushing mechanism, a second pushing mechanism, and a track-changing mechanism. The support frame has a first groove and a second groove extending along a first direction and spaced apart along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first pushing mechanism and the second pushing mechanism are both disposed on the support frame. The first groove has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first pushing mechanism is opposite to the first end, and the second pushing mechanism is opposite to the second groove. The track-changing mechanism is disposed on the support frame and corresponds to the second end in the second direction. A feeding module includes a first feeding mechanism and a second feeding mechanism. The first feeding mechanism is disposed adjacent to the support frame and connected to the first end. The first feeding mechanism is used to provide a first workpiece to the first groove, and the second feeding mechanism is used to provide a first workpiece to the first groove. The mechanism is located on the lower side of the support frame and corresponds to the second end. The second feeding mechanism is used to provide the second workpiece to the second end. The welding module is mounted on the upper side of the support frame and corresponds to the second end. The discharge module is connected to the support frame and corresponds to the end of the second chute away from the second pushing mechanism. The first pushing mechanism pushes the first workpiece from the first end to the second end. The second feeding mechanism moves the second workpiece to the second end to abut against the first workpiece. The welding module welds the first workpiece and the second workpiece located at the second end to form a finished product. The track changing mechanism pushes the finished product from the first chute to the second chute. The second pushing mechanism pushes the finished product to the discharge module, and the discharge module discharges the finished product.
[0005] The aforementioned welding equipment provides a first workpiece to a first chute via a first feeding mechanism, and moves the first workpiece to a first pushing mechanism. The first pushing mechanism moves the first workpiece from a first end to a second end of the first chute. Then, a second feeding mechanism provides a second workpiece to the second end, and the second workpiece is joined to the first workpiece. A welding module then welds the first and second workpieces together to form a finished product. A track-changing mechanism then transfers the finished product to a second chute, and the second pushing mechanism moves the finished product along the second chute to a discharge module, which discharges the finished product.
[0006] In some embodiments, the first pushing mechanism includes a first pushing member and a first loading member connected to the first pushing member. The first loading member is slidably disposed in the first groove. The first pushing member is used to push the first loading member to reciprocate between the first end and the second end. The first loading member is provided with a loading groove and an assembly hole that passes through the first loading member and communicates with the loading groove. The loading groove is used to accommodate the first workpiece, and the assembly hole is used for the second workpiece to pass through.
[0007] In some embodiments, the second feeding mechanism includes a feeding assembly and a pushing assembly. The feeding assembly includes a feeding drive and a feeding plate connected to the feeding drive. The feeding drive is connected to the support frame and is used to drive the feeding plate to move along the second direction. The feeding plate has a plurality of loading holes for loading the second workpiece. The pushing assembly includes a pushing drive and a pushing rod connected to the pushing drive. The pushing drive is disposed below the support frame and corresponds to the second end of the first slide groove. The pushing drive is used to drive the pushing rod to move along a third direction to push the second workpiece in the loading hole to the assembly hole, thereby causing the second workpiece to abut against the first workpiece. The third direction is perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction.
[0008] In some embodiments, the second pushing mechanism includes a second pushing member and a second loading member connected to the second pushing member. The second pushing member is used to push the second loading member to move in the second chute. The second loading member has a receiving hole for receiving the finished clinker. The cross-section of the receiving hole is adapted to the cross-sectional structure of the finished clinker.
[0009] In some embodiments, the support frame has a material transfer hole extending along the second direction. The material transfer hole is connected to both the second end and the second slide groove. The cross-section of the material transfer hole is adapted to the cross-sectional structure of the finished clinker. The track changing mechanism includes a track changing drive and a track changing pusher connected to the track changing drive and disposed towards the material transfer hole. The track changing drive is used to drive the track changing pusher to move along the second direction to push the finished clinker from the second end through the material transfer hole and then move it to the receiving hole.
[0010] In some embodiments, the processing module further includes a first sensor and a second sensor disposed on the support frame. The first sensor is disposed near the first end and is used to detect the first workpiece at the first end. The second sensor is disposed near the second chute and toward the transfer hole, and is used to detect the finished clinker in the receiving hole.
[0011] In some embodiments, the processing module further includes a pressing mechanism, which is disposed on the support frame and corresponds to the second end in the third direction. The pressing mechanism includes a pressing drive and a holding member. The pressing drive is connected to the support frame, and the holding member is connected to the pressing drive and disposed towards the second end. The pressing drive is used to drive the holding member to move closer to or away from the second end so that the holding member presses the first workpiece located at the second end. The holding member has a clearance hole for avoiding the welding positions of the first workpiece and the second workpiece.
[0012] In some embodiments, the discharge module includes a first discharge component, a second discharge component, and a detection component. The detection component is disposed adjacent to the end of the second chute away from the second pushing mechanism along a first direction, and is sequentially arranged adjacent to the second chute along the second direction. The detection component has a detection hole, the cross-section of which is the same as the cross-sectional structure of standard clinker. When the second pushing mechanism moves the finished clinker along the second chute to the detection component, the position of the detection hole corresponds to the position of the finished clinker carried by the second pushing mechanism. The first discharge component is disposed along the second direction on the side of the detection component near the second chute. The first discharge component includes a first discharge drive component and a first discharge component. The first discharge component is connected to the first discharge drive component and is disposed towards the detection hole. The first discharge drive component is used to drive the first discharge component to move towards or away from the detection hole. The second discharge component is disposed along the second direction. On the side of the detection element away from the second chute, the second discharge assembly includes a second discharge drive and a second discharge element. The second discharge element is connected to the second discharge drive and is positioned towards the detection hole. The second discharge drive is used to drive the second discharge element to move towards or away from the detection hole. The second pushing mechanism moves the finished clinker along the second chute to the detection element, aligning the finished clinker with the detection hole. The first discharge drive drives the first discharge element to push the finished clinker that matches the detection hole into the detection hole in the opposite direction of the second direction, so that the finished clinker that matches the detection hole falls from the detection hole into a finished product collection area. After the first discharge element moves, the second discharge drive drives the second discharge element to push the finished clinker that does not match the detection hole in the second direction, so that the finished clinker that does not match the detection hole falls into a waste collection area.
[0013] In some embodiments, the first discharge assembly further includes an elastic element, the first discharge element and the first discharge drive element are movably connected along the first direction, the elastic element is sleeved on the first discharge element and its two ends are respectively connected to the first discharge drive element and the first discharge element.
[0014] In some embodiments, the processing module further includes a buffer mechanism, which includes a fixing member and a buffer member. The fixing member is connected to the support frame and disposed along the first direction at one end of the second slide groove away from the second push member. The buffer member is connected to the fixing member and disposed toward the second push member. The buffer member is used to elastically abut against the second load member when the second discharge member drives the second load member to move to the discharge module position.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a welding device 100 for welding a first workpiece 200 and a second workpiece 300 (see [link to application]). Figure 5 The first workpiece 200 and the second workpiece 300 are assembled together and welded together to form finished clinker 400 (see [link]). Figure 8 In one embodiment, the first workpiece 200 can be a block structure, and the first workpiece 200 has an insertion hole 201 for accommodating the second workpiece 300. The second workpiece 300 can be a columnar structure that can be inserted into the insertion hole 201 of the first workpiece 200, so that the first workpiece 200 and the second workpiece 300 are combined together. The welding equipment 100 includes a welding module 30, a feeding module 20, a welding module 30, and a discharge module 40.
[0029] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The processing module 10 includes a support frame 11, a first pushing mechanism 12, a second pushing mechanism 13, and a track changing mechanism 14. The support frame 11 has a first groove 111 and a second groove 112 extending along the X-axis and spaced apart along the Y-axis perpendicular to the X-axis. The first pushing mechanism 12 and the second pushing mechanism 13 are both disposed on the support frame 11. The first groove 111 includes a first end 1111 and a second end 1112 facing each other. The first pushing mechanism 12 is opposite to the first end 1111, and the second pushing mechanism 13 is opposite to the second groove 112. The track changing mechanism 14 is disposed on the support frame 11 and corresponds to the second end 1112 in the Y-axis direction.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The feeding module 20 includes a first feeding mechanism 21 and a second feeding mechanism 22. The first feeding mechanism 21 is disposed adjacent to the support frame 11 and connected to the first end 1111. The first feeding mechanism 21 is used to provide a first workpiece 200 to the first chute 111. The second feeding mechanism 22 is disposed on the lower side of the support frame 11 and corresponds to the second end 1112. The second feeding mechanism 22 is used to provide a second workpiece 300 to the second end 1112. The first feeding mechanism 21 can be a vibratory feeder, which can automatically provide the first workpiece 200 to the first chute 111. It is understood that the first feeding mechanism 21 transfers the first workpiece 200 into the first chute 111, and the first pushing mechanism 12 pushes the first workpiece 200 from the first end 1111 to the second end 1112. The bottom of the second end 1112 of the first chute 111 is provided with a through hole 1113 so that the second feeding mechanism 22 can push the second workpiece 300 from below the support frame 11 to move along the Z-axis, thereby assembling the second workpiece 300 onto the first workpiece 200.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The welding module 30 is mounted above the support frame 11 and corresponds to the second end 1112. The welding module 30 can be a laser welding machine, etc. After the first workpiece 200 and the second workpiece 300 are assembled, the welding module 30 welds the first workpiece 200 and the second workpiece 300.
[0032] Please see Figure 6 The discharge module 40 is connected to the support frame 11 and corresponds to the end of the second slide 112 that is away from the second pusher mechanism 13.
[0033] In this process, the first pushing mechanism 12 pushes the first workpiece 200 from the first end 1111 to the second end 1112, the second feeding mechanism 22 moves the second workpiece 300 to the second end 1112 to abut against the first workpiece 200, the welding module 30 welds the first workpiece 200 and the second workpiece 300 located at the second end 1112 to form the finished clinker 400, the track changing mechanism 14 pushes the finished clinker 400 from the first chute 111 to the second chute 112, the second pushing mechanism 13 pushes the finished clinker 400 to the discharge module 40, and the discharge module 40 discharges the finished clinker 400.
[0034] The welding equipment 100 provided in this embodiment of the application provides a first workpiece 200 to a first chute 111 via a first feeding mechanism 21, and moves the first workpiece 200 to a first pushing mechanism 12. The first pushing mechanism 12 moves the first workpiece 200 from a first end 1111 of the first chute 111 to a second end 1112. Then, a second feeding mechanism 22 provides a second workpiece 300 to the second end 1112, and combines the second workpiece 300 with the first workpiece 200. Then, a welding module 30 welds the first workpiece 200 and the second workpiece 300 together to form a finished product 400. Then, a track-changing mechanism 14 transfers the finished product 400 to the second chute 112. The second pushing mechanism 13 moves the finished product 400 along the second chute 112 to a discharge module 40, and the discharge module 40 discharges the finished product 400.
[0035] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first pushing mechanism 12 includes a first pushing member 121 and a first loading member 122 connected to the first pushing member 121. The first loading member 122 is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 111. The first pushing member 121 is used to push the first loading member 122 to reciprocate between the first end 1111 and the second end 1112. The first loading member 122 is provided with a loading groove 1221 and an assembly hole 1222 that penetrates the first loading member 122 and communicates with the loading groove 1221. The loading groove 1221 is used to accommodate the first workpiece 200, and the assembly hole 1222 is used for the second workpiece 300 to pass through.
[0036] The first pushing member 121 can be a cylinder, etc., and the first loading member 122 can be a block structure. The first pushing member 121 drives the first loading member 122 to slide back and forth in the first sliding groove 111. The first loading member 122 can be provided with multiple loading slots 1221, such as two or three, etc. The multiple loading slots 1221 can be spaced apart along the X-axis. The first feeding mechanism 21 can simultaneously provide multiple first workpieces 200 to the first loading member 122, and the second feeding mechanism 22 can simultaneously provide multiple second workpieces 300 corresponding to the first workpieces 200, thereby enabling the simultaneous welding of multiple first workpieces 200 and second workpieces 300, thus improving processing efficiency. The structure of the loading slot 1221 can be adapted to the structure of the first workpiece 200 to improve the stability of the position of the first workpiece 200 when the first loading member 122 drives the first workpiece 200 to move.
[0037] It is understood that when the first feeding mechanism 21 transfers the first workpiece 200 into the loading groove 1221, the insertion hole 201 of the first workpiece 200 corresponds to the assembly hole 1222 on the first loading member 122. When the first pushing member 121 pushes the first loading member 122 to the second end 1112 of the first sliding groove 111, the assembly hole 1222 corresponds to the through hole 1113 at the bottom of the second end 1112, so that the second feeding mechanism 22 can insert the second workpiece 300 into the insertion hole 201 of the first workpiece 200 through the through hole 1113 and the assembly hole 1222.
[0038] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The second feeding mechanism 22 includes a feeding assembly 221 and a pushing assembly 222. The feeding assembly 221 includes a feeding drive 2211 and a feeding plate 2212 connected to the feeding drive 2211. The feeding drive 2211 is connected to the support frame 11 and is used to drive the feeding plate 2212 to move along the Y-axis. The feeding plate 2212 has a plurality of loading holes 2213 for loading the second workpiece 300. The pushing assembly 222 includes a pushing drive 2221 and a pushing rod 2222 connected to the pushing drive 2221. The pushing drive 2221 is located below the support frame 11 and corresponds to the second end 1112 of the first slide groove 111. The pushing drive 2221 is used to drive the pushing rod 2222 to move along the Z-axis to push the second workpiece 300 in the loading hole 2213 to the assembly hole 1222, thereby causing the second workpiece 300 to abut against the first workpiece 200.
[0039] The feeding drive component 2211 can be a cylinder, etc., and the feeding plate 2212 can be a plate-shaped structure. Multiple loading holes 2213 on the feeding plate 2212 are arranged along the Y-axis direction, and the upper radius of the loading holes 2213 is larger than the lower radius, so that the loading holes 2213 can support the second workpiece 300. The pushing drive component 2221 can be a cylinder, and the pushing rod 2222 can be a rod-shaped structure, with the radius of the pushing rod 2222 smaller than the radius of the loading holes 2213.
[0040] When the first loading component 122 moves the first workpiece 200 to the second end 1112 of the first chute 111, the feeding drive component 2211 drives the feeding plate 2212 to move along the Y-axis, positioning one of the second workpieces 300 opposite the first workpiece 200 in the Z-axis direction. Then, the push drive component 2221 drives the push rod 2222 to move along the Z-axis. The push rod 2222 passes through the loading hole 2213 and pushes the second workpiece 300 to move along the Z-axis, so that the second workpiece 300 passes through the assembly hole 1222 and inserts into the first workpiece 200. Then, the welding module 30 welds the first workpiece 200 and the second workpiece 300 together. After welding, the push drive component 2221 drives the push rod 2222 to move in the opposite direction of the Z-axis, so that the push rod 2222 moves away from the feeding plate 2212. In the next processing step, the feeding drive 2211 drives the feeding plate 2212 to move along the Y-axis to move the next second workpiece 300 to be opposite the first workpiece 200 at the second end 1112.
[0041] It is understood that when the first material carrier 122 is provided with a plurality of material carrier slots 1221 spaced apart along the X-axis, the feeding plate 2212 can be provided with a plurality of rows of material carrier holes 2213 spaced apart along the X-axis, and the spacing between two adjacent rows of material carrier holes 2213 is the same as the spacing between the corresponding adjacent material carrier slots 1221. The push drive member 2221 is connected with push rods 2222 that correspond to the number and position of the material carrier slots 1221. In this way, a plurality of second workpieces 300 and a plurality of first workpieces 200 can be assembled at the same time.
[0042] In one embodiment, the push rod 2222 is elastically connected to the push drive 2221, and a spring or other object may be connected between the push rod 2222 and the push drive 2221 to provide a buffer when the second workpiece 300 is assembled onto the first workpiece 200, so as to avoid damage during assembly.
[0043] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The second pushing mechanism 13 includes a second pushing member 131 and a second loading member 132 connected to the second pushing member 131. The second pushing member 131 is used to push the second loading member 132 to move in the second slide groove 112. The second loading member 132 has a receiving hole 1321 for receiving the finished clinker 400. The cross-section of the receiving hole 1321 is adapted to the cross-sectional structure of the finished clinker 400. The second pushing member 131 can be a cylinder or the like, and the second loading member 132 can be a block structure. The receiving hole 1321 penetrates the second loading member 132 along the Y-axis direction. When the first workpiece 200 and the second workpiece 300 are welded into finished clinker 400, the second loading member 132 corresponds to the second end 1112 of the first slide groove 111 in the Y-axis direction. The track-changing mechanism 14 pushes the finished clinker 400 to move along the Y-axis direction, thereby pushing the finished clinker 400 into the receiving hole 1321. The second pushing member 131 then moves the second loading member 132 and the finished clinker 400 along the X-axis direction to the discharge module 40. It can be understood that the cross-section of the receiving hole 1321 is adapted to the cross-sectional structure of the finished clinker 400 so that the finished clinker 400 does not shift during movement.
[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 The support frame 11 has a transfer hole 113 extending along the Y-axis. The transfer hole 113 is connected to both the second end 1112 and the second slide 112. The cross-section of the transfer hole 113 is adapted to the cross-sectional structure of the finished clinker 400. The track-changing mechanism 14 includes a track-changing drive 141 and a track-changing pusher 142 connected to the track-changing drive 141 and facing the transfer hole 113. The track-changing drive 141 drives the track-changing pusher 142 to move along the Y-axis, so as to push the finished clinker 400 from the second end 1112 through the transfer hole 113 and move it to the receiving hole 1321. It can be understood that the cross-section of the transfer hole 113 is adapted to the cross-sectional structure of the finished clinker 400 so that the position of the finished clinker 400 does not shift when it moves in the transfer hole 113, thereby facilitating the movement of the finished clinker 400 into the receiving hole 1321.
[0045] It is understood that when the first material carrier 122 is provided with multiple material carrier slots 1221 spaced apart along the X-axis, the track changing drive 141 is also connected with track changing pushers 142 in number and position corresponding to the material carrier slots 1221, so as to synchronously drive multiple finished clinker 400 to move.
[0046] In one embodiment, the track-changing pusher 142 is elastically connected to the track-changing drive 141, and a spring or other object may be connected between the track-changing pusher 142 and the track-changing drive 141 so that the track-changing pusher 142 elastically contacts the finished clinker 400 and avoids damaging the finished clinker 400.
[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The processing module 10 also includes a first sensor 15 and a second sensor 16 disposed on the support frame 11. The first sensor 15 is disposed near the first end 1111 and is used to detect the first workpiece 200 at the first end 1111. The second sensor 16 is disposed near the second slide 112 and facing the transfer hole 113. The second sensor 16 is used to detect the finished product 400 in the receiving hole 1321. Both the first sensor 15 and the second sensor 16 can be proximity switches, etc. It can be understood that the first sensor 15 is disposed near the first end 1111 of the first slide 111. When the first loading component 122 is located at the first end 1111 of the first slide 111, the first sensor 15 is opposite to the loading groove 1221 on the first loading component 122 to detect whether the first workpiece 200 is placed on the loading groove 1221. The second sensor 16 is positioned near the second chute 112 and toward the transfer hole 113. When the second loading member 132 moves to a position where the receiving hole 1321 is opposite to the transfer hole 113, the receiving hole 1321 can receive the finished clinker 400 removed from the transfer hole 113 (see [link]). Figure 8 At this time, the second sensor 16 is opposite to the receiving hole 1321 and can detect whether there is finished clinker 400 placed in the receiving hole 1321.
[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The processing module 10 also includes a pressing mechanism 17, which is mounted on the support frame 11 and corresponds to the second end 1112 in the Z-axis direction. The pressing mechanism 17 includes a pressing drive 171 and a holding member 172. The pressing drive 171 is connected to the support frame 11, and the holding member 172 is connected to the pressing drive 171 and is positioned toward the second end 1112. The pressing drive 171 is used to drive the holding member 172 to move closer to or away from the second end 1112 so that the holding member 172 presses the first workpiece 200 located at the second end 1112. The holding member 172 has a clearance hole 1721 for clearance at the position to be welded.
[0049] The pressing drive component 171 can be a cylinder, etc., and the holding component 172 can be a plate-like structure. It can be understood that when the push rod 2222 pushes the second workpiece 300 into the first workpiece 200 along the Z-axis direction, the second workpiece 300 pushes the first workpiece 200 along the Z-axis direction, and the first workpiece 200 is subjected to a force along the Z-axis direction. By holding the first workpiece 200 by the holding component 172, the positional stability of the first workpiece 200 can be improved. A clearance hole 1721 is provided on the holding component 172 to allow for clearance at the welding positions of the first workpiece 200 and the second workpiece 300. When multiple first workpieces 200 are provided on the first material carrier 122, multiple clearance holes 1721 can be provided on the holding component 172.
[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The discharge module 40 includes a first discharge assembly 41, a second discharge assembly 42, and a detection element 43. The detection element 43 is disposed near the end of the second slide 112 away from the second pushing mechanism 13 along the X-axis direction, and is sequentially disposed adjacent to the second slide 112 along the Y-axis direction. The detection element 43 has a detection hole 431, the cross-section of which is the same as that of the standard clinker. When the second pushing mechanism 13 moves the finished clinker 400 along the second slide 112 to the detection element 43, the position of the detection hole 431 corresponds to the position of the finished clinker 400 carried by the second pushing mechanism 13. The detection element 43 can be a plate-shaped structure, and the cross-section of the detection hole 431 is the same as that of the standard clinker. When the finished clinker 400 can pass through the detection hole 431, the finished clinker 400 is qualified; when the finished clinker 400 cannot pass through the detection hole 431, the finished clinker 400 is unqualified. Thus, the qualification of the finished clinker 400 can be detected through the detection hole 431. During testing, the second material carrier 132 is positioned opposite the testing component 43, and the receiving hole 1321 is positioned opposite the testing hole 431. When the second material carrier 132 is provided with multiple receiving holes 1321, the testing component 43 is provided with multiple corresponding testing holes 431.
[0051] The first discharge assembly 41 is disposed along the Y-axis on the side of the detection element 43 near the second slide groove 112. The first discharge assembly 41 includes a first discharge drive 411 and a first discharge element 412. The first discharge element 412 is connected to the first discharge drive 411 and is disposed facing the detection hole 431. The first discharge drive 411 is used to drive the first discharge element 412 to move toward or away from the detection hole 431. The first discharge drive 411 can be a cylinder or the like, and the first discharge element 412 can be a rod-shaped structure. When the detection element 43 is provided with multiple detection holes 431, multiple first discharge elements 412 can be provided, and their positions correspond to the detection holes 431.
[0052] The second discharge assembly 42 is disposed along the Y-axis on the side of the detection element 43 opposite to the second slide groove 112. The second discharge assembly 42 includes a second discharge drive 421 and a second discharge element 422. The second discharge element 422 is connected to the second discharge drive 421 and is disposed facing the detection hole 431. The second discharge drive 421 is used to drive the second discharge element 422 to move toward or away from the detection hole 431. The second discharge drive 421 can be a cylinder or the like, and the second discharge element 422 can be a rod-shaped structure. When the detection element 43 is provided with multiple detection holes 431, multiple second discharge elements 422 can be provided, and their positions correspond to the detection holes 431.
[0053] The second pushing mechanism 13 moves the finished clinker 400 along the second chute 112 to the detection member 43, aligning the finished clinker 400 with the detection hole 431. The first discharge driving member 411 drives the first discharge member 412 to push the finished clinker 400 that matches the detection hole 431 into the detection hole 431 in the opposite direction of the Y-axis, so that the finished clinker 400 that matches the detection hole 431 falls from the detection hole 431 into a finished product collection area. After the first discharge member 412 moves, the second discharge driving member 421 drives the second discharge member 422 to push the finished clinker 400 that does not match the detection hole 431 in the Y-axis direction, so that the finished clinker 400 that does not match the detection hole 431 falls into a waste collection area.
[0054] It is understood that the first discharge drive 411 first drives the first discharge component 412 to push the finished clinker 400 in the receiving hole 1321 in the opposite direction of the Y-axis. If the finished clinker 400 is a qualified product, it can pass through the detection hole 431 and fall from the detection hole 431 into the finished product receiving area. The finished product receiving area can be equipped with a finished product collection bucket 50 to collect qualified finished clinker 400. If the finished clinker 400 is a defective product, it cannot pass through the detection hole 431, and the defective finished clinker 400 remains in the receiving hole 1321.
[0055] After the first discharge drive 411 moves and resets, the second discharge drive 421 drives the second discharge component 422 to move along the Y-axis, thereby causing the second discharge component 422 to pass through the detection hole 431 and the receiving hole 1321. If the finished clinker 400 is a qualified product, when the first discharge component 412 pushes against the finished clinker 400, the finished clinker 400 passes through the detection hole 431 and falls into the finished product collection bucket 50. At this time, there is no finished clinker 400 in the receiving hole 1321, and the second discharge component 422 runs empty. If the finished clinker 400 is a defective product, the defective finished clinker 400 is left in the receiving hole 1321. When the second discharge component 422 passes through the receiving hole 1321, it pushes the defective finished clinker 400 out, so that the defective finished clinker 400 falls into the waste collection area. The waste collection area can be equipped with a waste collection bucket 60 to collect the defective finished clinker 400. In this way, the testing and collection of the finished clinker 400 were completed.
[0056] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first discharge assembly 41 also includes an elastic element 413. The first discharge component 412 is movably connected to the first discharge drive component 411 along the X-axis direction. The elastic element 413 is sleeved on the first discharge component 412 and its two ends are respectively connected to the first discharge drive component 411 and the first discharge component 412. The elastic element 413 can be a spring or the like. The first discharge component 412 is elastically connected to the first discharge drive component 411 through the elastic element 413. When the finished clinker 400 is a defective product, the first discharge drive component 411 drives the first discharge component 412 to move in the opposite direction along the X-axis direction to push the finished clinker 400 in the receiving hole 1321. At this time, the finished clinker 400 cannot pass through the detection hole 431 and is left in the receiving hole 1321. When the first discharge drive 411 continues to move in the opposite direction along the X-axis, the first discharge component 412 abuts against the finished clinker 400 and compresses the elastic component 413, thereby preventing the first discharge component 412 from moving in the opposite direction along the X-axis. The elastic component 413 acts as a buffer to prevent the first discharge component 412 from pushing against the finished clinker 400 and damaging the detection hole 431.
[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6The processing module 10 also includes a buffer mechanism 18, which includes a fixing member 181 and a buffer member 182. The fixing member 181 is connected to the support frame 11 and is disposed along the X-axis at one end of the second slide groove 112 away from the second pushing member 131. The buffer member 182 is connected to the fixing member 181 and is disposed towards the second pushing member 131. The buffer member 182 is used to elastically abut against the second loading member 132 when the second discharge member 422 drives the second loading member 132 to the position of the discharge module 40. The fixing member 181 can be a block structure, and the buffer member 182 can be a spring, etc. The buffer member 182 can elastically abut against the second loading member 132 to buffer the second loading member 132.
[0058] The working process of the welding equipment 100 provided in this embodiment is roughly as follows: First, the first feeding mechanism 21 moves the first workpiece 200 onto the first loading member 122 located at the first end 1111 of the first chute 111. The first workpiece 200 is moved into the loading groove 1221 of the first loading member 122, and the first sensor 15 detects whether there is a first workpiece 200 in the loading groove 1221. Then, the first pushing member 121 drives the first loading member 122 to move along the X-axis to move the first workpiece 200 to the second end 1112, at which point the first workpiece 200 corresponds to the through hole 1113.
[0059] Then, the pressing drive 171 drives the holding member 172 to move in the opposite direction of the Z-axis until it abuts against the first workpiece 200 to hold the first workpiece 200. The feeding drive 2211 in the second feeding mechanism 22 drives the feeding plate 2212 to move in the Y-axis direction, so that one of the second workpieces 300 is opposite to the first workpiece 200 in the Z-axis direction. The pushing drive 2221 drives the pushing rod 2222 to move in the Z-axis direction. The pushing rod 2222 passes through the loading hole 2213 and pushes the second workpiece 300 to move in the Z-axis direction, so that the second workpiece 300 passes through the assembly hole 1222 and is inserted into the first workpiece 200.
[0060] Next, the welding module 30 welds the first workpiece 200 and the second workpiece 300 into finished product 400. After processing, the pressing drive 171 drives the holding member 172 to release the finished product 400, and the track changing drive 141 drives the track changing push member 142 to move along the Y-axis to push the finished product 400 along the transfer hole 113 until the finished product 400 moves into the receiving hole 1321 of the second loading member 132. Then, the track changing drive 141 drives the track changing hold member to reset, the push drive 2221 drives the push rod 2222 to reset, and the first push member 121 drives the first loading member 122 to move in the opposite direction of the X-axis to the first end 1111 of the first chute 111, waiting for the next loading.
[0061] The second sensor 16 detects whether there is finished clinker 400 in the receiving hole 1321. After the finished clinker 400 is in the receiving hole 1321, the second pusher 131 and the second loading member 132 move in the second slide 112 along the X-axis direction until the second loading member 132 moves to correspond with the detection member 43. At this time, the receiving hole 1321 and the detection hole 431 correspond in the Y-axis direction.
[0062] Then, the first discharge drive 411 drives the first discharge component 412 to push the finished clinker 400 in the receiving hole 1321 in the opposite direction of the Y-axis. If the finished clinker 400 is qualified, it can pass through the detection hole 431 and fall into the finished product collection bucket 50. If the finished clinker 400 is unqualified, it cannot pass through the detection hole 431 and remains in the receiving hole 1321. The first discharge component 412 compresses the elastic component 413 to prevent it from damaging the detection hole 431. After the first discharge drive 411 drives the first discharge component 412 to complete one movement, it moves along the Y-axis to reset.
[0063] After the first discharge drive 411 resets, the second discharge drive 421 drives the second discharge component 422 to move along the Y-axis, causing the second discharge component 422 to pass through the detection hole 431 and the receiving hole 1321. If the finished clinker 400 is qualified, when the first discharge component 412 pushes against the finished clinker 400, the finished clinker 400 passes through the detection hole 431 and falls into the finished product collection bucket 50. At this time, there is no finished clinker 400 in the receiving hole 1321, and the second discharge component 422 runs empty. If the finished clinker 400 is unqualified, the unqualified finished clinker 400 remains in the receiving hole 1321. When the second discharge component 422 passes through the receiving hole 1321, it pushes the unqualified finished clinker 400 out, causing the unqualified finished clinker 400 to fall into the waste collection bucket 60. In this way, the detection and collection of the finished clinker 400 are completed.
