[0040] Detailed welding process, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown:

[0041] Step 1: The slider 7 is translated along the guide rail arm 6, driving the transfer suction cup 21 to be translated to be coaxial with the spherical disk stack 13;

[0042] Step 2: the telescopic rod a 20 is extended downward to make the transfer suction cup 21 descend to suck the spherical arc surface disc 12 at the top of the spherical disc stack 13, and then the telescopic rod a 20 is controlled to retract upward to make the transfer suction cup 21 rise with the sucked spherical arc surface disc 12 to be separated from the spherical disc stack 13;

[0043] Step 3, the control slider 7 is translated along the guide rail arm 6, and the transfer suction cup 21 and the adsorbed spherical arc surface disk 12 are translated to the coaxial center between the a rotation suction cup 19 and the b rotation suction cup 17;

[0044] Step 4: Control the telescopic rod a 20 to extend downward, so that a spherical arc disk 12 adsorbed by the lower side of the transfer suction cup 21 is lowered to fit the b rotating suction cup 17 and is adsorbed by the b rotating suction cup 17.

[0045] Step 5: first refer to the method of "step 1" to "step 3" to make the transfer suction cup 21 absorb the second spherical arc surface disk 12 and move it to be coaxial between the a rotation suction cup 19 and the b rotation suction cup 17;

[0046] Then, the flip output shaft 4 is controlled to rotate 180°, so that the telescopic rod a 20 and the transfer suction cup 21 originally facing downward face upward, and then the telescopic rod a 20 is controlled to extend upward, so that the spherical arc surface disk 12 adsorbed on the upper side of the transfer suction cup 21 moves upward to fit the a rotating suction cup 19, and the spherical arc surface disk 12 fitted with the a rotating suction cup 19 is recorded as a spherical arc surface disk 12a. At this time, the a spherical arc surface disk 12a is tightly clamped between the a rotating suction cup 19 and the transfer suction cup 21;

[0047] Step 6, the b telescopic rod 27 is extended downward to make the suction cup assembly 25 absorb the spherical arc surface petal 39 at the upper end of the spherical surface petal pile 22, and then the b telescopic rod 27 is controlled to retract upward to a sufficient length, and then the b transverse rotation axis 28 is controlled to rotate 90° counterclockwise, and then the b telescopic rod 27 is controlled to gradually extend until the center of the spherical arc surface petal 39 absorbed by the suction cup assembly 25 is translated to coincide with the target ball center 60, at this time, an arc-shaped a welding gap 40.1 is formed between the upper end contour of the spherical arc surface petal 39 absorbed by the suction cup assembly 25 and the outer contour of the a spherical arc surface disk 12a, and the spherical arc surface petal 3 absorbed by the suction cup assembly 25 is A circular arc-shaped b welding gap 40.2 is formed between the lower end contour of 9 and the outer contour of the b spherical arc surface disk 12b, and from the geometric relationship, it can be known that the welding gun extension line 60 of the spray welding gun 31 intersects with the circular arc-shaped a welding gap 40.1 at this time. At this time, the spray welding gun 31 is controlled to spray the welding liquid to the circular arc-shaped a welding gap 40.1. At the same time, the longitudinal output shaft 2 is controlled to rotate adaptively so that the welding liquid sprayed from the spray welding gun 31 sweeps the circular arc-shaped a welding gap 40.1 along the circular arc path, thereby realizing the welding of the circular arc-shaped a welding gap 40.1; at this time, the spherical arc surface petal 39 and the a spherical arc surface disk 12a have been integrated;

[0048] Step seven, control the a horizontal rotating shaft 8 to rotate 180°, so that the a rotating suction cup 19 reaches the bottom of the b rotating suction cup 17, at this time, the welding gun extension line 60 of the spray welding gun 31 intersects with the arc-shaped b welding gap 40.2 at this time, and control the spray welding gun 31 to spray the welding liquid to the arc-shaped b welding gap 40.2. At the same time, control the longitudinal output shaft 2 to rotate adaptively, so that the welding liquid sprayed from the spray welding gun 31 sweeps the arc-shaped b welding gap 40.2 along the arc path, thereby realizing the welding of the arc-shaped b welding gap 40.2; at this time, the spherical arc surface petal 39, the a spherical arc surface disc 12a and the b spherical arc surface disc 12b have been integrated and tightly clamped between the a rotating suction cup 19 and the b rotating suction cup 17;

[0049] Step eight, control the a horizontal rotation axis 8 to rotate 180 degrees in the opposite direction relative to the previous step, control the a telescopic rod 20 to retract downward, and control the slider 7 to translate, so that the transfer suction cup 21 deviates from between the a rotating suction cup 19 and the b rotating suction cup 17;

[0050] Finally, the gear drive motor 34 is controlled to drive the transmission gear body 18 and then drive the a rotating suction cup 19 to rotate a°, so that the spherical arc surface petal 39 rotates around the axis of the a rotating suction cup 19 to just deviate from its original position; finally, referring to "step 6" to "step 7", the upper and lower ends of the second spherical arc surface petal 39 are welded to the a spherical arc surface disc 12a and the b spherical arc surface disc 12b as a whole;

[0051] Step nine, continuously repeating the latter part of “Step eight” until the a-spherical arc surface disc 12a, the b-spherical arc surface disc 12b and a plurality of spherical arc surface petals 39 are spliced ​​together to form a complete spherical shell 41;

[0052] An arc-shaped c welding gap 40.3 is formed between any two adjacent spherical arc surface petals 39 to wait for welding; at this time, the gear drive motor 34 is controlled to drive the transmission gear body 18 to drive the a rotating suction cup 19 and the complete spherical shell 41 to rotate, so that the axis of an arc-shaped c welding gap 40.3 on the complete spherical shell 41 coincides with the a horizontal rotation axis 8, and this c welding gap 40.3 is recorded as the c welding gap 40.3a to be welded, and then the longitudinal output shaft 2 is controlled to rotate until the welding gun extension line 60 of the spray welding gun 31 intersects with the upper end of the c welding gap 40.3a to be welded;

[0053] Step ten, control the spray welding gun 31 to spray the welding liquid toward one end of the welding gap c 40.3a to be welded, and at the same time, control the a transverse rotating shaft 8 to gradually rotate counterclockwise, so that the welding liquid sprayed by the spray welding gun 31 is relatively scanned along the arc path of the welding gap c 40.3a to be welded, thereby achieving complete welding of the welding gap c 40.3a to be welded;

[0054] Step eleven, referring to the previous two steps, weld the other several c welding gaps 40.3 on the complete ball shell 41, and finally obtain a complete ball shell 41 without gaps; finally, control the lifter 16 to retract downward to a sufficient height so that the clamped complete ball shell 41 can be smoothly taken out.
