[0026] refer to Figure 2In some embodiments of the present invention, the first driving assembly 130 includes a first driver 131 and a mounting seat 132. A toggle portion 111 is provided on the positioning seat 110. The toggle portion 111 is slidably provided on the mounting seat 132 along the first horizontal direction. The mounting seat 132 is slidably provided on the mounting frame 120 along the second horizontal direction. The second horizontal direction is intersected with the first horizontal direction. The first driver 131 is provided on the mounting frame 120 and connected to the mounting seat 132.

It can be understood that the first driver 131 of the first driving assembly 130 drives the mounting seat 132 to slide along the second horizontal direction. Since the toggle part 111 is slidably arranged on the mounting seat 132 along the first horizontal direction, and is arranged on the positioning seat 110 that can rotate around the vertical axis, when the mounting seat 132 slides along the second horizontal direction under the drive of the first driver 131, the toggle part 111 will slide relative to the mounting seat 132 along the first horizontal direction, and enable the toggle part 111 to drive the positioning seat 110 to rotate around the vertical axis, thereby switching between the loading and unloading state and the waste shaking state.

[0027] Specifically, the mounting seat 132 is provided with an elongated hole 132 a extending along the first horizontal direction, and the shifting portion 111 can slidably pass through the elongated hole 132 a.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the waste shaking module 100 includes a plurality of positioning seats 110 spaced apart along the second horizontal direction, a plurality of mounting seats 132 are provided corresponding to the positioning seats 110, and a first driver 131 is respectively connected to each mounting seat 132 in a transmission manner and can drive each mounting seat 132 to move synchronously along the second horizontal direction. It can be understood that the first driver 131 drives the plurality of mounting seats 132 to move along the second direction, thereby driving the toggle portion 111 to slide relative to the mounting seat 132 along the first horizontal direction, and the toggle portion 111 drives the positioning seat 110 to rotate around the vertical axis. The present application can realize the rotation of multiple workpieces around the vertical axis only through a single first driver 131, so as to synchronously complete the removal of waste on multiple workpieces, thereby improving the working efficiency of the waste discharge device of the present application.

[0029] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the pressing member 220 includes a plurality of pressing portions 221 spaced apart along the second horizontal direction, the pressing portions 221 being arranged one-to-one with the positioning seat 110, and the pressing portions 221 being used to press the welding position of the workpiece on the corresponding positioning seat 110. It can be understood that by placing a plurality of workpieces on a positioning seat 110 respectively, and then driving the plurality of mounting seats 132 to move along the second horizontal direction by the first driver 131 to drive the corresponding positioning seat 110 to rotate around the vertical axis to a shaking waste state, and then driving the pressing member 220 downward by the second driving assembly 210, so that the pressing portions 221 spaced apart along the second horizontal direction on the pressing member 220 can respectively press the welding position of the workpiece on each positioning seat 110, and then driving the plurality of mounting seats 132 to move along the second horizontal direction by the first driver 131 to drive the corresponding positioning seat 110 to rotate around the vertical axis to a loading and unloading state, and causing each pressing portion 221 to scrape the waste adhered to the welding position of each workpiece.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the second drive assembly 210 includes a first horizontal drive structure 211 and a first vertical drive structure 212 connected to each other. The first horizontal drive structure 211 is used to drive the pressing part 220 to move in the horizontal direction, and the first vertical drive structure 212 is used to drive the pressing part 220 to move in the vertical direction. It can be understood that the welded workpiece is first placed on the positioning seat 110, and then the first horizontal driving structure 211 is used to drive the pressing piece 220 to approach the positioning seat 110 in the horizontal direction, so that the pressing piece 220 can be aligned with the welding position of the workpiece in the vertical direction, and then the first vertical driving structure 212 is used to drive the pressing piece 220 to approach the positioning seat 110 in the vertical direction, so that the pressing piece 220 can be accurately pressed on the welding position of the workpiece. After the waste adhering to the welding position is scraped off by the waste shaking module 100, the pressing piece 220 is driven to move away from the positioning seat 110 in the vertical direction by the first vertical driving structure 212, and then the pressing piece 220 is driven to move away from the positioning seat 110 in the horizontal direction by the first horizontal driving structure 211. At this time, the workpiece can be smoothly separated from the positioning seat 110 under the action of the manipulator.

The third drive component 310 is used to adjust the position of the waste suction structure 320 so that the inlet of the waste suction channel 321 is directly opposite the welding position on the workpiece. It is understandable that the waste suction structure 320 is driven to move by the third drive component 310 so that the inlet of the waste suction channel 321 on the waste suction structure 320 can be directly opposite the welding position on the workpiece, so that the waste scraped from the welding position of the workpiece can be smoothly sucked into the waste suction channel 321 through the inlet of the waste suction channel 321.

It can be understood that the waste suction structure 320 is driven to move in the vertical direction by the second vertical drive structure 312 so that the entrance of the waste suction channel 321 of the waste suction structure 320 can be aligned with the welding position of the workpiece in the horizontal direction, and then the waste suction structure 320 is driven to move in the horizontal direction by the second horizontal drive structure 311 so that the entrance of the waste suction channel 321 of the waste suction structure 320 is close to the welding position of the workpiece in the horizontal direction, so that the entrance of the waste suction channel 321 is directly opposite to the welding position on the workpiece, so that the waste suction channel 321 can smoothly suck in the waste material that falls off the workpiece.
