It is a non-essential technical feature proposed in this embodiment, which can be implemented with reference to the structure shown in the figure, and can also be implemented with reference to the existing structure. The automated feeding implementation method can be implemented by those skilled in the art with reference to the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] Furthermore, the automatic welding equipment for the bottom of the thermos cup and the getter assembly proposed in this embodiment includes a loading device 100, a turntable 200, a conveying device 300 and a welding device 400, wherein the loading device 100 is used for loading the getter assembly s, the turntable 200 is arranged at the next station of the loading device 100, the conveying device 300 is used to convey the cup bottom m on the automatic cup bottom loading device 500 to the welding position h on the welding device 400, and the welding device 400 is used to complete the welding of the cup bottom m and the getter assembly s.

[0030] More specifically, the loading device 100 includes a feeding hopper 101, a taking hopper 102, an industrial camera 103, and a manipulator 104. The feeding hopper 101 is used to place the getter component s in the feeding hopper 101, and the feeding hopper 101 is used to feed the getter component s individually to the taking hopper 102 through a direct vibration device. The industrial camera 103 is arranged above the feeding hopper 101 and the taking hopper 102, and the manipulator 104 is also arranged above the getter component s. In this embodiment, the industrial camera 103 is a visual camera, which is used to identify the number of getter components s in the taking hopper 102 (it can be based on the set remaining target number, that is, notify the feeding hopper 101 to add material), and is also used to identify the direction and position of the getter component s, and can notify the manipulator 104 to grab according to the identification result, so as to notify the manipulator 104 to grab. It should be noted that the industrial camera 103's recognition of the number, direction and position of the getter components s is a very mature existing technology in the field of automation. The implementation of its automation technology solution is not a technical problem solved by the solution of this application. Those skilled in the art can fully refer to the existing technology to implement it, which is not described in detail here.

[0031] The turntable 200 includes a lower electrode 201 and a lower cylinder 202. The manipulator 104 is used to grab the getter component s and place it on the top of the lower electrode 201. The lower cylinder 202 is used to drive the lower electrode 201 to move up and down. The lower electrode 201 is arranged on the turntable 200, and the turntable 200 can also rotate to adjust the position of the lower electrode 201. It should also be noted that the grabbing of the manipulator 104 is also a very mature technical solution in this field. The automated grabbing can be realized by technicians in this field by referring to the existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.

[0032] The conveying device 300 includes a conveying belt 301 with a hollow middle, which is used for conveying the cup bottom m. The conveying belt 301 is arranged in the post-process of the cup bottom automatic feeding device 500, and is used for conveying the cup bottom m from the cup bottom automatic feeding device 500 to the welding position;

[0033] The welding device 400 includes an upper electrode 401 and an upper cylinder 402. The cup bottom m can be transported to the bottom of the upper electrode 401 through the conveyor belt 301. The upper cylinder 402 is used to drive the upper electrode 401 to move up and down. The getter assembly s located on the top of the lower electrode 201 can be transported to the bottom of the cup m through the turntable 200. The cup bottom m and the getter assembly s are arranged between the upper electrode 401 and the lower electrode 201 and the welding of the two is achieved through the hollow part of the conveyor belt 301.

[0034] Furthermore, as a preferred solution of this embodiment, considering the cost and the setting of the equipment structure, the manipulator 104 is relatively small and has a limited range of motion, and at least two lower electrodes 201 are arranged evenly distributed on the turntable 200. In this embodiment, four lower electrodes 201 are arranged, and the lower electrode 201 is located exactly below the upper electrode 401 after each rotation of the turntable 200 by 90 degrees.

[0035] The working process of the automatic welding equipment for the warm cup bottom and the getter assembly in this embodiment is as follows: the conveying device 300 conveys the cup bottom m from the cup bottom automatic loading device 500 to the welding position h, the feeding hopper 101 feeds the getter assembly s individually to the taking hopper 102 through the direct vibration device, the manipulator 104 grabs the getter assembly s located in the taking hopper 102 and places it above the lower electrode 201, and after each rotation of the turntable 200 by 90 degrees, the lower electrode 201 is just below the upper electrode 401. At this time, the getter assembly s, the conveyor belt 301, and the cup bottom m are arranged from bottom to top in sequence, and the cup bottom m is welded through the hollow part of the conveyor belt 301. The hollow middle of the conveyor belt 301 facilitates the contact welding of the getter assembly s and the cup bottom m after the lower electrode 201 rises.
