Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Specifically, the liquid injection brush assembly 102 includes a liquid injection brush body 1021, and a liquid injection cotton 1022 is installed on one side of the liquid injection brush body 1021.

The bottom end of the rotating cylinder 1026 is fixed to the top of the frame 101 through a bracket 1027. The position of the liquid injection brush body 1021 can be automatically adjusted by using the rotating cylinder 1026.
[0037] The invention also includes a handling robot 2 for handling and transferring the supporting rollers. The handling robot 2 includes a mechanical arm 201. A gripper mounting base 202 is fixedly provided on the mechanical arm 201. A two-finger parallel gripper 203 is fixedly provided on one side of the gripper mounting base 202. A three-finger central gripper 204 is connected to the bottom end of the gripper mounting base 202 via a connecting mechanism.
[0038] The present invention also includes a positioner 3, the number of which is set to two, and the positioner 3 includes a base 301, and two sides of the top of the base 301 are respectively provided with a rotating drive side mounting structure 302 and a rotating driven side mounting structure 303, and the rotating drive side mounting structure 302 and the rotating driven side mounting structure 303 are both connected to a clamping head 304 for fixing the supporting roller;
[0039] The rotating driving side mounting structure 302 and the rotating driven side mounting structure 303 are connected through a centering clamping mechanism 4. Specifically, the centering clamping mechanism 4 includes a centering driving side rack 401 and a centering driven side rack 402. The centering driving side rack 401 is fixed at the bottom of the rotating driving side mounting structure 302, and the centering driven side rack 402 is fixed at the bottom of the rotating driven side mounting structure 303. A parallel relative motion transmission gear 403 is engaged between the centering driving side rack 401 and the centering driven side rack 402.

A centering clamping cylinder 404 is fixed in the rotating driven side mounting structure 303, and the centering clamping cylinder 404 is fixed on the base 301 through a cylinder base 405.
[0040] While the rotating driven side mounting structure 303 is driven to move by the centering clamping cylinder 404, the rotating driven side mounting structure 303 drives the rotating driving side mounting structure 302 to move together through the centering driving side rack 401, the centering driven side rack 402, and the parallel relative motion transmission gear 403. That is, the rotating driving side mounting structure 302 and the rotating driven side mounting structure 303 perform centering motion together, further realizing the centering clamping function of the two clamping heads 304 on the raw material of the supporting roller;
[0041] It also includes a welding robot 5 for detecting and welding the track wheels;
[0042] It also includes a laser AGV 6, a first unloading conveyor line 7 and a second unloading conveyor line 8. A robot vision guidance system 9 is provided between the laser AGV 6 and the rotary assembly table 1 for guiding the handling robot 2 to grab the supporting wheels.
[0043] When in use, the laser AGV 6 is first used to transfer the raw material of the supporting roller to the recognizable area of the robot vision guidance system 9, and then the 3D vision guidance system of the robot vision guidance system 9 is used to scan the raw material of the supporting roller, and the coordinate parameters of the raw material of the supporting roller are given to guide the handling robot 2 to automatically grab the workpiece;
[0044] The robotic arm 201 drives the two-finger parallel gripper 203 and the three-finger centrifugal gripper 204 to move and grab the raw material of the roller, and place the raw material of the roller on the rotary assembly table 1. Specifically, the raw material of the roller is placed on the top of the three-finger centrifugal cylinder 106. Then, a quantitative liquid injection pump 108 is used to transport liquid into the liquid injection brush body 1021. The liquid flows to the surface of the raw material of the roller through the liquid injection cotton 1022. At the same time, the rotating motor 107 is used to drive the pneumatic rotary joint 103, the hollow rotary table 104, the adapter plate 105 and the raw material of the roller on the three-finger centrifugal cylinder 106 to rotate, so that the liquid is evenly applied to the surface of the raw material of the roller.
[0045] Then use the handling robot 2 to transfer the supporting wheel raw materials on the three-finger centring cylinder 106 to the positioner 3. The supporting wheel raw materials are preheated on the positioner 3. Then use the welding contact function on the welding robot 5 to realize weld recognition and weld the supporting wheel raw materials. At the same time, through the welding detection program of the welding robot 5, it is detected that the weld is located on the left and right side of the center line of the supporting wheel. After the welding is completed, the handling robot 2 grabs the supporting wheel raw materials from the positioner 3 and places them on the unloading conveyor line 1 7 or the unloading conveyor line 2 8. Specifically, since the weld is not in the center position, such as Figure 8 As shown, the weld may be on the left or right side of the center line. The weld on the right side corresponds to procedure A, and the weld on the left side corresponds to procedure B. The weld detection is detected on the right side of the center line by default. If the weld is detected there, the welding procedure A is executed. If the weld is not on the right side of the center line, the weld is assumed to be on the left side of the center line and the welding procedure B is executed.
[0046] The raw materials for the track rollers on unloading conveyor line 1 7 or unloading conveyor line 2 8 are conveyed to a heat treatment furnace for conditioning, thereby enabling the automated welding production of the raw materials for the track rollers. This embodiment utilizes various technical means, including independent design and technological integration, to achieve unmanned and automated welding production processes, including automated track roller conveying, random grabbing, automatic assembly, automatic loading and unloading for welding, autonomous weld seam identification, automatic medium-frequency preheating, and automatic welding.
[0047] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 1-8 The bottom ends of the rotating driving side mounting structure 302 and the rotating driven side mounting structure 303 are mounted on the top of the base 301 through a linear rail assembly 305. A servo motor 306 is fixed inside the rotating driving side mounting structure 302. One end of the output shaft of the servo motor 306 is connected to a precision planetary reducer 307. The precision planetary reducer 307 is fixed to the inner wall of the rotating driving side mounting structure 302 through an installation adjustment plate. The servo motor 306 and the precision planetary reducer 307 are used to drive the clamping head 304 to rotate, thereby realizing the automatic rotation of the raw material of the supporting wheel;
[0048] The two clamping heads 304 are connected to a rotary drive side tooling base 308 and a rotary driven side tooling base 309 on the side away from each other. The rotary drive side tooling base 308 is meshed with the output gear of the precision planetary reducer 307 via a toothed slewing support 310. The rotary driven side tooling base 301 is fixed to the inner wall of the rotary driven side mounting structure 303 via a carbon brush device 311. The two clamping heads 304 rotate on the rotary drive side tooling base 308 and the rotary driven side tooling base 309 respectively, thereby supporting the rotation of the raw material of the supporting roller for welding.
[0049] The rear ends of the two bases 301 are fixed with a medium frequency preheating system 312, which cooperates with the positioner 3 to heat and weld the raw materials of the supporting wheels.
[0050] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
