[0035] Furthermore, the processing unit 1 is provided in two sets, and the two sets have the same structure, used for transporting, positioning, scanning and welding the end caps. Each set of the processing unit 1 includes:

[0036] The first conveyor frame 11 and the second conveyor frame 12 are respectively used to convey the end cap and its accessories;

[0037] The material rack 13 is located between the first conveyor rack 11 and the second conveyor rack 12 and is used to place the processed parts;

[0048] A rotating ring 1406 is rotatably disposed inside the protective shell, and a first fixed clamping block 1407 is installed on the rotating ring 1406.

[0049] The first electric push rod 1408 has a first movable clamping block 1409 mounted on its output shaft;

[0052] The second motor 1410 is installed inside the support frame 1404. The output end of the second motor 1410 is equipped with a second gear 1411, which is placed inside the protective shell.

[0053] A gear ring 1412 is installed at the bottom of a rotating ring 1406. The gear ring 1412 meshes with a second gear 1411. The second gear 1411 is driven to rotate by a second motor 1410. The second gear 1411 drives the gear ring 1412 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating ring 1406 to rotate and causing the workpiece on it to rotate.

[0066] Specifically, when welding the finished end cap, the finished product is mostly composed of a bottom ring and a cap. The cap often has holes for installing valves. These holes require small ring parts for welding. In this device, the first conveyor frame 11 and the second conveyor frame 12 are used to convey the cap and the bottom ring, respectively. The handling unit 2 is used to handle them. The gripping robot 15 is used to handle the small ring parts. The industrial scanning camera 1502 is used to position the holes opened on the cap.

[0067] Furthermore, the conveying unit 2 serves two sets of processing units 1, including:

[0068] The base 21 is used for bottom support of the conveying part 2, and a rack 22 is installed on the base 21;

[0069] The sliding frame 23 is mounted on the base 21;

[0070] A drive motor 24 is mounted on a sliding frame 23. A first gear 25 is mounted on the output end of the drive motor 24. The first gear 25 meshes with a rack 22.

[0071] The material handling robot 26 is mounted on the sliding frame 23 and is used to handle materials on the first conveyor frame 11 and the second conveyor frame 12.

[0072] The clamping assembly 27 is installed at one end of the handling robot 26 and is used to clamp and fix the material.

[0073] The transport robot 26 works with the gripping robot 15 to stack the material on the positioning fixture 14, and after processing, the transport robot 26 removes the finished product from the positioning fixture 14.

[0074] Specifically, the transport robot 26 includes:

[0075] The second base 2601 is mounted on the base 21;

[0076] The third rotating part 2602 is rotatably mounted on the second base 2601;

[0077] The fourth swing arm 2603 is rotatably mounted on the third rotating part 2602;

[0078] The fifth swing arm 2604 is rotatably mounted on the fourth swing arm 2603;

[0079] The fourth rotating part 2605 is rotatably mounted on the fourth swing arm part 2603;

[0080] The sixth swing arm 2606 is rotatably mounted on the fourth rotating part 2605;

[0081] Each moving part is equipped with a servo motor drive;

[0082] The third rotating part 2602 is driven to rotate by a servo motor;

[0083] The fourth swing arm 2603 is equipped with three servo motors, which are used for swinging itself, driving the fourth rotating part 2605 to rotate via a transmission rod, and driving the sixth swing arm 2606 to swing.

[0084] The clamping assembly 27 includes:

[0085] A positioning ring 2701 has a fixing block 2702 installed at one end, and the fixing block 2702 is installed on the sixth swing arm 2606.

[0086] The second fixed clamping block 2703 is installed inside the positioning ring 2701;

[0087] The second electric push rod 2704 is mounted on the positioning ring 2701 via a connecting block;

[0088] The second moving clamp 2705 is installed at the output end of the second electric push rod 2704;

[0089] There are two second clamping blocks 2703, which are symmetrically distributed inside the positioning ring 2701;

[0090] There are two second electric push rods 2704, and two connecting blocks connected to them are also provided, both of which are symmetrically distributed;

[0091] There are two second moving clamps 2705, which are respectively connected to two second electric push rods 2704;

[0092] The positioning ring 2701 has a through hole for the output shaft of the second electric push rod 2704 to move.

[0093] A guide rod 2706 is installed at one end of the second movable clamping block 2705. The guide rod 2706 is slidably disposed on the positioning ring 2701. The arrangement of the guide rod 2706 limits the movement trajectory of the movable clamping block.

[0094] A guide rail 2101 is mounted on the top of the base 21;

[0095] A guide block 2301 is installed at the bottom of the sliding frame 23. The guide block 2301 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 2101. The cooperation between the guide block 2301 and the guide rail 2101 is used to limit the movement trajectory of the sliding frame 23.

[0096] The fully automated production line for handling, scanning, positioning, and welding of end caps works on the following principle:

[0097] The workpieces required for the finished head are transported separately via the first conveyor frame 11 and the second conveyor frame 12;

[0098] The materials on the first conveyor frame 11 and the second conveyor frame 12 are sequentially transported to the positioning fixture 14 by the handling assembly;

[0099] The movement of the transport component is as follows: the drive motor 24 drives the first gear 25 to rotate, and the first gear 25 moves on the rack 22. Since the rack 22 is fixed, the first gear 25 both rotates and moves on the rack 22, thereby driving the slide frame 23 to move. The movement of the third rotating part 2602, the fourth swing arm part 2603, the fifth swing arm part 2604, the fourth rotating part 2605 and the sixth swing arm part 2606 drives the clamping component 27 to be placed at the workpiece. The second electric push rod 2704 drives the second moving clamping block 2705 to move towards the position of the second fixed clamping block 2703 until the workpiece is clamped between the second fixed clamping block 2703 and the second moving clamping block 2705. Then, the transport robot 26 transports the workpiece to the rotating ring 1406. After that, the clamping of the workpiece is released and the transport component is withdrawn.

[0100] When the workpiece at the bottom is placed on the rotating ring 1406 inside the positioning fixture 14, the first moving clamping block 1409 is driven to move by the first electric push rod 1408. The first moving clamping block 1409 moves towards the position of the first fixed clamping block 1407 until the workpiece is clamped between the first moving clamping block 1409 and the first fixed clamping block 1407. The first motor 1403 drives the side bracket 1405 to rotate, which in turn drives the flipping frame 1402 to rotate half a turn, so that welding work can be performed on the other side. The second motor 1410 drives the second gear 1411, which drives the gear ring 1412 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating ring 1406 to rotate, and thus drives the workpiece to rotate. Through the cooperation of the first motor 1403 and the second motor 1410, the workpiece can be processed in all aspects.

[0101] The required parts are gripped by the gripper 1501 and moved by the handling robot 26. During this process, the position of the parts (holes on the main workpiece) is scanned by the industrial scanning camera 1502, thereby achieving precise positioning.

[0102] The welding robot 16 drives the welding head 1601 to weld the workpiece.
