In the placing state, as shown in 130b, the third manipulator 130 moves to the tray 21 and places the face cover 32 on the tray 21. The third manipulator 130 can also adjust its angle to accurately grasp the face cover 32 according to the loading angle of the third conveyor belt 13a. Figure 1 As shown in 130b, the third manipulator 130 moves to the tray 21 and places the face cover 32 on the tray 21. The third manipulator 130 can also adjust its angle to accurately grasp the face cover 32 according to the loading angle of the third conveyor belt 13a.
[0029] As shown in Figure 1As shown, the front loading station 12 has a second conveyor belt 12a for transporting the face cover 32 and a second manipulator 120 for transporting the face cover 32 from the second conveyor belt 12a to the tray 21.

[0031] As Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, the airtightness detection station 15 is provided with a blowing member (not shown) and a pressure detection member (not shown). The blowing member is used to blow air into the regenerative head cartridge 30, and the pressure detection member is used to detect whether the air pressure in the regenerative head cartridge 30 meets the requirements. Specifically, the bottom case 31 has a plurality of cavities for storing inks of different colors respectively. The face cover 32 is formed with a plurality of air blowing ports 321 and a plurality of air inlet ports 322. Each cavity corresponds to an air blowing port 321 and an air inlet port 322. The air blowing port 321 and the air inlet port 322 corresponding to each cavity can be collectively referred to as an air guiding port, and the air blowing port 321 and the air inlet port 322 corresponding to each cavity are connected through a communication channel 323. Therefore, the communication channel 323 is connected to the cavity. When the airtightness detection station 15 detects the air pressure in the regenerative head cartridge 30, the blowing member blows air into the air blowing port 321 corresponding to each cavity. At this time, the remaining air blowing ports 321 and the remaining air inlet ports 322 on the face cover 32 are sealed. The above steps are repeated until each cavity corresponding to the air blowing port 321 is inflated and detected. When the air pressure value detected by the pressure detection member is lower than the threshold value, it indicates that the regenerative head cartridge 30 leaks. Subsequently, the airtightness detection station 15 marks the leaking regenerative head cartridge 30 as a defective product and marks the non-leaking regenerative head cartridge 30 as a good product. Preferably, according to the actual production requirements, the number of the blowing members can also be set corresponding to the total number of the air blowing ports 321. Therefore, even if the regenerative head cartridge 30 is provided with a plurality of cavities, the airtightness of all the cavities can be detected at one time. Thus, the airtightness detection process can be simplified.
[0032] As described above, the film sealing station is used to weld the face cover film to the communication channel 323 on the face cover 32, so that gas can flow in the communication channel 323.
[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the discharging station 18 has a good product discharging area 18a, a defective product discharging area 18b, and a fourth manipulator 180 for transporting good products to the good product discharging area 18a and defective products to the defective product discharging area 18b. The fourth manipulator 180 has at least one fourth mechanical claw 181 for grasping good products or defective products. Preferably, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, two conveyor belts are respectively arranged in the good product discharging area 18a / defective product discharging area 18b, and two fourth mechanical claws 181 are arranged to improve efficiency.
[0034] The fourth manipulator also has a grasping state and a placing state. In the grasping state, as Figure 1 shown in 180a, the fourth manipulator 180 grasps good products or defective products. In the placing state, as Figure 1 shown in 180b, the fourth manipulator 180 places good products or defective products; the fourth manipulator 180 can also adjust the angle so as to accurately place good products / defective products according to the discharging angles of the conveyor belts in the good product discharging area 18a / defective product discharging area 18b.
[0035] The overall working principle of the regenerative head cartridge manufacturing equipment 10 involved in the present utility model is as follows:
[0036] When the regenerative head cartridge manufacturing equipment 10 starts to work, the first manipulator 110 at the first loading station 11 moves above the first conveyor belt 11a to grasp the bottom shell 31, and then the first manipulator 110 moves above the tray 21 and places the bottom shell 31 on the tray 21. The turntable 20 rotates to the front loading station 12. The second manipulator 120 moves above the second conveyor belt 12a to grasp the face cover 32, and then the second manipulator 120 moves above the tray 21. The regenerative head cartridge manufacturing equipment 10 also has a camera (not shown) for aligning the bottom shell 31 and the face cover 32. After alignment, the second manipulator 120 places the face cover 32 on the bottom shell 31. The turntable 20 continues to rotate to the rear loading station 13. The working principle of the rear loading station 13 is the same as that of the front loading station 12. The face covers supplied by the rear loading station 13 and the front loading station 12 are respectively matched with different bottom shells 31, thereby completing the placement of the bottom shell 31 and the face cover 32.
[0037] The turntable 20 continues to rotate to the welding station 14, and the welding station 14 welds the bottom shell 31 and the face cover 32 together by using one of the methods of laser welding and ultrasonic welding, so that the connection between the bottom shell 31 and the face cover 32 is firmer and the sealing effect is better.
[0038] The turntable 20 continues to rotate to the airtightness detection station 15 to perform the above airtightness detection. Subsequently, the airtightness detection station 15 marks the leaking regenerative head cartridge 30 as a defective product, marks the non-leaking regenerative head cartridge 30 as a good product, and transmits this information to the control center 22 of the regenerative head cartridge manufacturing device 10; this design enables the regenerative head cartridge manufacturing device 10 to perform the sealing detection of the regenerative head cartridge 30 immediately after welding, further improving the yield rate of the regenerative head cartridge 30.
[0039] The turntable 20 continues to rotate to the first film sealing station 16. The first film sealing station 16 receives the information fed back by the control center 22 and welds a face cover film to the face cover 32 of the regenerative head cartridge 30 marked as a good product, thereby sealing the communication channel 323 to prevent the ink from flowing out along the communication channel 323 after the ink is injected into the regenerative head cartridge 30; subsequently, the turntable rotates to the second film sealing station 17. The second film sealing station 17 has the same working principle as the first film sealing station 16. The second film sealing station 17 and the first film sealing station 16 respectively weld face cover films to the face covers 32 of different regenerative head cartridges 30, thereby completing the film sealing work on the regenerative head cartridges 30 marked as good products.
[0040] The turntable 20 rotates to the discharging station 18. At this time, the discharging station 18 receives the information fed back by the control center 22. The fourth manipulator 180 moves above the tray 20, grabs the regenerative head cartridge 30 marked as a good product and transports it to the good product discharging area 18a, or the fourth manipulator 180 moves above the tray 20, grabs the regenerative head cartridge 30 marked as a defective product and transports it to the defective product discharging area 18b; this design enables the regenerative head cartridge manufacturing device 10 to automatically reject defective products, improving efficiency and reducing process costs.
[0041] Based on the inventive concept of the present utility model, the regenerative head cartridge manufacturing device 10 involved in the present utility model can be used to weld the bottom shell and the face cover of a brand-new head cartridge, and can also be used to weld the bottom shell and the face cover of a regenerative head cartridge.
[0042] As described above, by providing the welding station 14 and welding the bottom shell 31 and the face cover 32 together by using one of the methods of laser welding and ultrasonic welding, the sealing performance between the bottom shell 31 and the face cover 32 is improved, preventing the ink from leaking at the connection between the bottom shell 31 and the face cover 32 and polluting the environment outside the regenerative head cartridge 30.
