[0002] Sheet metal is a comprehensive cold processing technology for thin metal plates (usually less than 6mm), including shearing, punching / cutting / combining, folding, welding, riveting, splicing, forming (such as car body), etc. Its notable feature is that the thickness of the same part is consistent. Products processed by sheet metal technology are called sheet metal parts. Sheet metal parts are generally different in different industries and are mostly used for assembly.

[0003] When sheet metal parts are stamped after being welded, the heat-affected zone near the welding point of the sheet metal parts may be deformed, residual stress may be generated, or an oxide layer may be formed. Direct contact with the punch head may cause cracks and damage to the appearance of the sheet metal parts. Therefore, the sheet metal parts need to be turned over. The existing turning over is usually done manually, which not only increases labor costs but also has low efficiency. In addition, due to the thin thickness of the sheet metal parts, manual operation may cause a burden on the workers' hands and bodies. Therefore, a sheet metal processing flip conveyor line is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] Furthermore, the material picking gripper includes a bracket, which is fixedly mounted on the movable end of the six-axis robot. A surface of the bracket on one side away from the six-axis robot is provided with a plurality of equidistantly distributed air pipes, and one end of the air pipe is connected to a first suction cup.

[0006] Furthermore, the unloading table includes a mounting frame, which is located on a side of the six-axis robot away from the welding equipment.

[0017] Reference Figure 1-3 , wherein the material-taking gripper 4 comprises a bracket 41, the bracket 41 is fixedly mounted on the movable end of the six-axis robot 3, a surface of the bracket 41 on one side away from the six-axis robot 3 is provided with a plurality of air pipes 42 distributed at equal distances, and one end of the air pipe 42 is connected to a first suction cup 43;

[0018] Through the above-mentioned structural setting, the first suction cup 43 and the second suction cup 72 are both made of nitrile rubber material, and the end of the air pipe 42 away from the first suction cup 43 is connected to a vacuum pump. The vacuum pump draws a vacuum, and the first suction cup 43 adsorbs the sheet metal part to play the role of grabbing the sheet metal part. At the same time, it cooperates with the six-axis robot 3 to move the sheet metal part to the unloading table 5.
