[0006] Furthermore, a main control box is fixedly connected to the top of the device's base plate. Solenoid valve manifolds are respectively provided on the top of the device's base plate and the side of the main control box. The purpose of these solenoid valve manifolds is to provide pneumatic control to the cylinders under the program control of the main control box, thereby realizing automatic product unloading.

[0007] Furthermore, the product is provided in several quantities and is evenly distributed on the top of the left and right positioning fixtures of the product, in order to ensure stable positioning and uniform force distribution of the product during production or processing.

[0008] Furthermore, the left and right positioning fixtures of the product are equipped with stabilizing mechanisms. The stabilizing mechanisms include rotating grooves, which are formed inside the left and right positioning fixtures. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the rotating grooves. A force-bearing rod and a push rod are fixedly connected to the circumference of the rotating shaft. A sleeve is slidably connected inside the rotating grooves.

[0016] 2. This invention utilizes the cooperation between components such as the rotating shaft, sleeve, and magnetic stabilizing pin of the stabilizing mechanism. When the welding operator presses the force rod of the stabilizing mechanism, the push rod slides, compresses the spring, activates the magnetic stabilizing pin, and inserts it into the side of the product to achieve elastic clamping and magnetic positioning, effectively preventing displacement or vibration and ensuring processing accuracy.

[0017] 3. Through the cooperation of components such as the funnel-shaped dust collection hood, waste collection box, and dustproof net in the waste collection mechanism, the debris generated by the laser scanning equipment is captured by the dust collection hood, sucked into the air chamber and filtered through the dustproof net, and the dust enters the waste collection box, keeping the work station clean and avoiding the accumulation of waste that may affect positioning accuracy or require frequent cleaning.

[0025] The number of products 8 is set to several, and they are evenly distributed on the top of the left positioning fixture 7 and the right positioning fixture 23. The purpose is to ensure the stable positioning and uniform force of products 8 during production or processing.

[0028] Several stabilizing mechanisms 25 are provided and evenly distributed inside the left positioning fixture 7 and the right positioning fixture 23 of the product. The purpose is to ensure that each product 8 can be placed stably after placement.

[0029] One end of the force-bearing rod 253 is located on the displacement trajectory of the product 8, the purpose of which is to ensure that the product 8 can push the force-bearing rod 253 after it is placed and pressed.

[0030] A waste collection mechanism 26 is provided on the top of the device base plate 1. The waste collection mechanism 26 includes a funnel-shaped dust collection hood 261, which is fixedly connected to the top of the device base plate 1. A sliding groove 262 is provided on the side of the device base plate 1. A waste collection box 263 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 262. An air chamber 264 is fixedly connected to the side of the funnel-shaped dust collection hood 261. A dustproof net 265 is fixedly connected between the funnel-shaped dust collection hood 261 and the air chamber 264. An air supply pipe 266 is fixedly connected to the side of the air chamber 264. The purpose is to automatically clean the tooling without manual wiping and avoid positioning errors caused by waste accumulation.

[0031] There are two air chambers 264 and dust nets 265, which are symmetrical to each other along the vertical central axis of the funnel-shaped dust collection hood 261. The purpose is to optimize airflow distribution, enhance dust collection efficiency, and ensure the stability and long-term reliability of the equipment.

[0032] The top of the waste collection box 263 is located directly below the outlet of the funnel-shaped dust collection hood 261. Its purpose is to ensure that waste can fall into the waste collection box 263 efficiently and accurately from the funnel-shaped dust collection hood 261.

[0033] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: The welding operator places the welded product 8 sequentially onto the left positioning fixture 7. After clicking the start button on the main control box 24, the lifting cylinder 5 extends, causing the left positioning fixture 7 to descend, thus offsetting the fixture from the right fixture at different heights to avoid mechanical interference. Subsequently, the left feeding rodless cylinder 3 drives the slider to move, translating the left positioning fixture 7 to the laser scanning station. Upon arrival, the lifting cylinder 5 retracts, causing the left positioning fixture 7 to rise, aligning the product 8 with the laser scanning equipment, ready for laser scanning. While laser scanning is being performed at the left station, the welding operator can place the next batch of product 8 sequentially onto the right positioning fixture 23. After clicking the start button, the right feeding rodless cylinder 10 drives the slider to move the right positioning fixture 23 to the laser scanning station. The air paths of the left and right feeding cylinders are designed with interlocking control to ensure alternating movement of the left and right fixtures. To avoid mechanical interference and achieve continuous laser scanning operations, the laser scanning equipment removes the surface oxide layer of product 8 at the current workstation. After completion, the unloading mechanism is activated: the rodless unloading cylinder 18 drives the contour gripper 11 to move to the laser scanning workstation; the second lifting cylinder 15 extends, the gripper cylinder 13 clamps, and the contour gripper 11 grabs product 8; the second lifting cylinder 15 retracts, and the gripper lifts product 8; the rodless unloading cylinder 18 transfers product 8 to the unloading position; the second lifting cylinder 15 extends again, and the gripper cylinder 13 releases, completing the automatic unloading of product 8. The above actions are executed cyclically under the program control of the main control box 24. The solenoid valve manifold 16 controls the action of each cylinder according to the program instructions, realizing the coordinated operation of the pneumatic system. The continuous operation of alternating loading of left and right tooling, laser scanning and unloading effectively avoids multiple loading and unloading of product 8, manual turnover and waiting time, and achieves efficient and automated production.

[0034] When product 8 is placed in, the welding operator presses the force rod 253 of the stabilizing mechanism 25. The force rod 253 drives the rotating shaft 252 to rotate, overcoming the resistance of the torsion spring 259. This causes the push rod 254, which is fixed on the rotating shaft 252, to push the sleeve 255 to slide to the side. The spring 256 inside the sleeve 255 is compressed, pushing the magnetic stabilizing pin 257 to pop out and insert into the process hole on the side of product 8. Multiple stabilizing mechanisms 25 work together to form an elastic clamp and magnetic auxiliary positioning for product 8 from all sides, effectively preventing displacement or vibration during subsequent high-speed movement and ensuring processing accuracy.

[0035] When the laser scanning equipment is working, the generated oxide layer debris is captured by the funnel-shaped dust collection hood 261 located below the laser scanning station. The dust is connected to an external negative pressure air source through the air supply pipe 266, which generates suction in the air chamber 264 to draw the falling debris into the hood. The dustproof net 265 prevents larger particles from entering the air chamber 264. The dust and debris fall directly into the waste collection box 263 at the bottom through the funnel-shaped dust collection hood 261. This process is fully automatic, keeping the station clean and avoiding the problem of waste accumulation affecting positioning accuracy or requiring frequent manual cleaning.
