The cooling conveying line b82 adopts a Teflon mesh belt, which has the function of resisting high temperature.

[0069] A plurality of products can be placed on the cooling conveying line b82. In addition, by providing the cooling cover b83 above the cooling conveying line b82 and installing a plurality of fans b84, the product is cooled in all directions and efficiently. The forced convection of the fan b84 accelerates the air flow, effectively reduces the product temperature, shortens the cooling time, and improves the production efficiency.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 12 In the embodiment, the leakage detection device b9 comprises a fifth machine table b91, the fifth machine table b91 is provided with a test upper die b93 and a third sliding rail b92, the third sliding rail b92 is provided with a test lower die b94, the test lower die b94 can be moved under the test upper die b93 under the action of the third sliding rail b92, at this time, the test upper die b93 can be pressed on the test lower die b94, so as to complete the leakage detection of the product.

[0071] It should be noted that the cover oiling device b4 of the embodiment and the semi-finished product oiling device a5 have similar structures, and the jig and the oiling position can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual oiling position. The gasification promoting coating device b7 is an existing device, and in order to adapt to the processed product, only the water supply and wastewater recovery need to be modified. For example, a centralized water purification tank is added to deliver water to the water purification tank of each machine table. The water purification tank of each machine table is provided with a liquid level sensor, and when the water is insufficient, the water pump will pump water into the water purification tank of the device. A centralized wastewater tank is added to pump water from the wastewater tank of each device to the centralized wastewater tank. The wastewater tank of each machine table is provided with a liquid level sensor, and when the water is full, the water pump will pump water into the centralized wastewater tank.

[0072] Specifically, the embodiment takes the middle assembly of different series of electric irons as an example.

[0073] FS and GHK models: the transfer device 1 transfers the product from the first flow transfer module a1 to the first screw locking device b2, at the same time, the transfer device 1 transfers the cover of the gasification chamber from the cover supply platform b3 to the cover oiling device b4 for oiling, after the oiling is completed, the cover of the gasification chamber is transferred to the first screw locking device b2, and then the product is screwed, and after the screwing is completed, the product is transferred to the second flow transfer module b1. Then the product is sequentially riveted, heated and insulated pressure tested, gasification promoting coating, cooled and pressure leakage tested.

[0074] Other models: different from the above two models, the other models do not need the step of screwing. Therefore, the product is transferred from the first flow transfer module a1 to the second flow transfer module b1 by the transfer device 1, at the same time, the transfer device 1 transfers the cover of the gasification chamber from the cover supply platform b3 to the cover oiling device b4 for oiling, and then the product is assembled in the second flow transfer module b1 after the oiling is completed. Then the product is sequentially riveted, heated and insulated pressure tested, gasification promoting coating, cooled and pressure leakage tested.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 1 In the embodiment, the rear assembly line C includes the third flow transfer module c1, and the second bottom cover supply platform c2, the bottom cover oiling device c3 and the second screw locking device c4 distributed on the side of the third flow transfer module c1. Specifically, the bottom cover oiling device c3 is similar in structure to the semi-finished product oiling device a5 or the cover oiling device b4, and the position of the mold and oiling can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual need of the product to be oiled, for example, the bottom cover oiling device c3 does not need to be turned over by the turning mechanism a54, that is, the turning mechanism a54 can be omitted. Similarly, the second screw locking mechanism b23 is similar in structure to the first screw locking device b2, and the position of the second turntable b22 and the screw locking mechanism b23 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual need of the product to be screwed.

[0076] It should be noted that the rear assembly line C is an adjustment of the function of the front assembly line A, that is, in the assembly of the second product series, the bottom cover needs to be oiled, so the assembly of the bottom cover and the gasification chamber is ingeniously placed in the rear assembly line C for further improving the application range of the overall assembly line.

[0077] Specifically, the embodiment takes the rear assembly of different series of electric irons as an example.

[0078] W and WL and GHF025: The bottom plate cover of this series of products also needs to be oiled, so it is not suitable for the products assembled in the assembly process of the front assembly line A. Therefore, the bottom plate is not assembled first, and the product is assembled normally in the middle assembly line B. Subsequently, the bottom plate cover suitable for such products is grabbed from the second bottom plate cover feeding platform c2 to the bottom plate cover oiling device c3 through the material transfer device 1 for oiling. After oiling, the bottom plate cover is grabbed to the second screw locking device c4, and then the semi-finished product in the leak test device is grabbed to the second screw locking device c4, and then the screw locking is performed on the product. After the screw locking is completed, it is transferred to the third flow transfer module c1 for discharge.

[0079] Other models: For other series of products, only the product in the leak test device needs to be transferred to the third flow transfer module c1 for discharge.
