[0042] The processing flow of the end-quenched sample of this utility model is as follows:
[0043] The utility model discloses a sample 3 is the semi -finished product that one end of cylindrical has been through marking and engraving mark line, and heat treatment is completed, and the purpose of marking is in the face of sample to be processed, and the purpose of engraving mark line is in the angle of sample is adjusted through visual inspection conveniently, so as to process the marking face. After the sample 3 after heat treatment is placed in the loading platform, the loading platform is positioned and arranged to multiple samples through the push cylinder 11, the articulated robot 1 is moved to the visual inspection area from the loading platform through the clamping turnover mechanism, the visual camera 13 is photographed to the end face of sample and identifies the angle of mark line on the end face, and the articulated robot 1 is rotated according to the mark line angle of sample 3, and the face to be processed is in the left and right sides of sample 3, and the articulated robot 1 keeps the angle of sample 3 unchanged, and moves the sample to the positioning clamp position of sample processing center 2, and the oil cylinder drives the positioning clamp to clamp sample 3, and the articulated robot 1 releases the sample and exits, and the sample processing center 2 processes sample 3 according to the sample requirement, and after completion, the articulated robot takes out sample 3 and puts into the finished product hopper.
[0044] Example 2
[0045] As Figures 7-8 shown, in order to guarantee sample 3 when placing to positioning clamp, since the positioning error of articulated robot 1 causes the condition that the processing thickness of left and right sides processing surface is not same, the secondary positioning mechanism is still provided in the embodiment, specifically, the outer surface center of positioning block 19 is vertically engraved with 0.2mm wide positioning reference line groove 20, and the positioning reference line groove 20 is filled with fluorescent nano coating (wavelength 520nm green light).

[0047] When the articulated robot 1 clamps the sample 3 to the positioning fixture, the photoelectric sensor 22 is just located outside the positioning block 19 and will detect the positioning reference line groove 20 on the surface of the positioning block 19. The fluorescent nano coating in the positioning reference line groove 20 will generate longer wavelength fluorescence after being irradiated by the excitation light of the photoelectric sensor 22. The narrowband filter is arranged in front of the photoelectric sensor 22 and only allows the wavelength of the generated fluorescence to pass through and blocks other light. The horizontal movement compensation of the articulated robot 1 ensures that the sample 3 is in the central position of the positioning block 19 in the horizontal direction. When the fluorescent intensities sensed by the two photoelectric sensors 22 both reach the set requirement, that is, the middle part of the positioning block 19 is at the rotation center of the L-shaped plate 4, it can be ensured that the sample 3 is just at the center of the positioning block 19. Through the secondary positioning mode, it is ensured that the machining thicknesses of the two side machining surfaces of the end-quenching sample are within the specified error range.
[0048] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the technical scope of the present application in any way. Therefore, any slight modification, equivalent change and modification made according to the technical essence of the present application to the above embodiment still belongs to the scope of the technical scheme of the present application.
