[0053] In some embodiments, the power source 62 is a DD motor (Direct Drive Motor).

[0054] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the rotating disc 61 comprises four carrying positions 611. Each carrying position 611 can move to the first feeding module 10, the second feeding module 20, the welding module 40 and the discharging module 50 in sequence. When one of the carrying positions 611 is located at the first feeding module 10, the other three carrying positions 611 are located at the second feeding module 20, the welding module 40 and the discharging module 50 respectively.

[0055] Each module corresponds to one of the carrying positions 611, so that each module can correspond to one of the jigs, and multiple modules can simultaneously operate the materials on different jigs, thereby improving the working efficiency of the welding equipment 100.

[0056] Referring to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the rotating module 60 further comprises an induction assembly 63.

The mounting plate 631 is disposed on the frame 70, and the sensors 632 are disposed on the mounting plate 631. The sensors 632 are provided with four sensors 632 respectively facing the four carrying positions 611, so as to detect whether the carrying positions 611 have jigs. When it is detected that the carrying positions 611 have jigs, the modules corresponding to the carrying positions 611 start to work.

[0057] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the first feeding module 10 comprises a first material taking mechanism 11 and a first vibrating tray 12. The first vibrating tray 12 is arranged on the rack 70 and is used to place a plurality of first materials. The first material taking mechanism 11 is used to place the first material in the first vibrating tray 12 on the jig.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first material taking mechanism 11 comprises a first moving member 111 and a first material taking member 112. The first moving member 111 drives the first material taking member 112 to move. The first material taking member 112 can move to the first vibrating tray 12 under the driving of the first moving member 111, take the first material from the first vibrating tray 12, and install the first material on the jig. For example, the first moving member 111 is a four-axis robot.

[0059] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first material taking member 112 comprises a first vacuum connector 1121, a first buffer member 1122, and a first suction nozzle 1123. The first vacuum connector 1121 and the first suction nozzle 1123 are in communication. The first buffer member 1122 is connected between the first vacuum connector 1121 and the first suction nozzle 1123. When the first suction nozzle 1123 adsorbs the first material, the first buffer member 1122 is elastically deformed under pressure.

[0060] When the first material taking mechanism 11 takes the material, the first vacuum connector 1121 is vacuumized, so that the first suction nozzle 1123 has adsorption force. During the process that the first suction nozzle 1123 adsorbs the first material from the first vibrating tray 12, the first suction nozzle 1123 generates pressure on the first material. The first buffer member 1122 is deformed under the action of the pressure to absorb the pressure generated by the first suction nozzle 1123, so that the first suction nozzle 1123 is not easy to crush the first material, and has a protective effect on the first material.

[0062] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first feeding module 10 further comprises a first patting member 13. The first patting member 13 is arranged on the rack 70. After the first material taking mechanism 11 completes the material taking action, before the first material is placed on the jig, the first patting member 13 detects the first material taking member 112 to detect whether the first material taking member 112 takes the first material and whether the position of the first material is accurate.

[0063] Referring to Figure 3In some embodiments, the first feeding module 10 further comprises a second camera 14 disposed on the frame 70 above the first vibrating tray 12, which is configured to detect the position of the first material in the first vibrating tray 12 so as to facilitate the first material to be accurately picked up by the first material picking member 112. For example, the second camera 14 is a camera.

[0064] In some embodiments, the jig without the first material installed starts to rotate with the rotating disc 61, and the first feeding module 10 starts to work. During the working process of the first feeding module 10, the first vibrating tray 12 vibrates the first material, the second camera 14 detects the position of the first material in the first vibrating tray 12, the first moving member 111 drives the first material picking member 112 to pick up the first material from the first vibrating tray 12 and move to the first camera 13, so that the first camera 13 detects whether the first material picking member 112 picks up the first material and whether the position of the first material is accurate. After the detection is passed, the first material picking member 112 implants the first material into the jig, thereby completing the feeding of the first material.

[0065] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first material picking mechanism 11 is provided with at least two, and the first vibrating tray 12 is provided with at least two.

[0067] In some embodiments, the second material picking mechanism 21 comprises a second moving member 211 and a second material picking member 212. The second moving member 211 drives the second material picking member 212 to move. The second material picking member 212 can move to the second vibrating tray 22 under the driving of the second moving member 211, pick up the second material from the second vibrating tray 22, and drive the second material to be installed to the jig. For example, the second moving member 211 is a four-axis robot.

[0068] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the second material taking member 212 comprises a second vacuum joint 2121, a second buffer member 2122 and a second suction nozzle 2123. The second vacuum joint 2121 is in communication with the second suction nozzle 2123.

When the second suction nozzle 2123 adsorbs the second material, the second buffer member 2122 is elastically deformed under pressure.

[0069] When the first material taking mechanism 11 takes the material, the second suction nozzle 2123 has adsorption force by vacuum extraction of the second vacuum joint 2121. During the process that the second suction nozzle 2123 adsorbs the second material from the second vibrating tray 22, the second suction nozzle 2123 generates pressure on the second material. The second buffer member 2122 is deformed under the pressure to absorb the pressure generated by the second suction nozzle 2123, so that the second suction nozzle 2123 is not easy to crush the second material, and has a protective effect on the second material.

[0071] Referring to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second material is provided with a pin. The second suction nozzle 2123 is provided with an adsorption hole 2123a and an avoidance hole 2123b. The adsorption hole 2123a is in communication with the vacuum joint and is used for adsorbing the second material. The avoidance hole 2123b can avoid the pin on the second material. When the second suction nozzle 2123 adsorbs the second material, the pin can be accommodated in the avoidance hole 2123b, so as to facilitate the second suction nozzle 2123 to adsorb the second material.

[0072] Referring to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the second material taking module 20 further comprises a third detecting member 23. The third detecting member 23 is arranged on the rack 70. After the second material taking mechanism 21 completes the material taking action, before the second material is placed on the jig, the third detecting member 23 detects whether the second material taking member 212 takes the second material and whether the position of the second material is accurate. For example, the third detecting member 23 is a camera.

[0073] Referring to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the second material taking module 20 further comprises a fourth detecting member 24. The fourth detecting member 24 is arranged on the rack 70 and located above the second vibrating tray 22. The fourth detecting member 24 is used for detecting and identifying the position of the second material in the second vibrating tray 22, so that the second material taking member 212 can accurately pick up the second material. For example, the fourth detecting member 24 is a camera.

[0074] In some embodiments, the second feeding module 20 starts to work when the jig with the first material installed rotates to the second feeding module 20 along with the turntable 61. During the working process of the second feeding module 20, the second vibrator 22 vibrates the second material, the fourth tapping member 24 detects the position of the second material in the second vibrator 22, the second moving member 211 drives the second material picking member 212 to pick the second material from the second vibrator 22 and moves to the third tapping member 23, so that the third tapping member 23 detects whether the second material picking member 212 picks the second material and whether the position of the second material is accurate. After the detection is passed, the second material picking member 212 implants the second material into the jig, so as to complete the feeding of the second material.

[0075] Referring to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the second material picking mechanism 21 is provided with at least two, and the second vibrator 22 is provided with at least two. Each second material picking mechanism 21 cooperates with one of the second vibrators 22, so that multiple second material picking mechanisms 21 can simultaneously install the second material to the jig, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the second feeding module 20.

The opening clamp assembly 25 comprises a first power member 251 and a pushing member 252. The first power member 251 is used to drive the pushing member 252 to push the jig, so as to unlock the jig. For example, the first power member 251 is a pneumatic cylinder, and the power output end of the pneumatic cylinder is connected with the pushing member 252.

[0077] When the jig rotates to the second feeding module 20 along with the turntable 61, before the second material picking member 212 implants the second material into the jig, the first power member 251 drives the pushing member 252 to push the unlocking handle, so as to unlock the jig, so as to facilitate the implantation of the second material.

[0078] Referring to Figure 5 With Figure 7 In some embodiments, the second feeding module 20 comprises a pressing assembly 26.

[0088] The first driving member 411 can drive the first lifting member 412 to ascend until the jig contacts the cover plate 43, and the cover plate 43 covers the jig, so as to fix the first material and the second material, reduce the movement of the materials during welding, and improve the welding accuracy. After the cover plate 43 covers the jig, the first material and the second material on the jig can be exposed through the avoiding opening 431, so as to facilitate the laser welding head 42 to weld the first material and the second material through the avoiding opening 431. After welding, the lifting mechanism 41 drives the jig to descend to the loading position 611 of the turntable 61.

[0089] In some embodiments, the turntable 61 is provided with a lifting opening 612 located at the loading position 611. The lifting opening 612 can avoid the lifting mechanism 41, so that the lifting mechanism 41 lifts the jig from the lifting opening 612.

[0093] The welding process is easy to generate high temperature, the exhaust fan 44 can blow air to the welding chamber 45, and the high temperature gas in the welding chamber 45 is discharged to the outside of the welding chamber 45 through the exhaust pipe 46, so as to realize the cooling of the welding material and improve the welding safety.

[0094] Referring to Figure 1 With Figure 11 In some embodiments, the discharging module 50 includes a transfer assembly 51, a suction assembly 52, and a receiving box 53. The transfer assembly 51 and the receiving box 53 are arranged on the rack 70. The transfer assembly 51 is connected with the suction assembly 52 to drive the suction assembly 52 to move. The suction assembly 52 is used to suck the first material and the second material after welding, so that the first material and the second material are collected into the receiving box 53. The first material and the second material after welding are finished materials, which include qualified products and unqualified products.

[0095] After the first material and the second material after welding pass through the welding module 40 and move to the bearing position 611 of the discharging module 50, the transfer assembly 51 drives the suction assembly 52 to move, so that the suction assembly 52 can take the finished materials from the jig and collect them into the receiving box 53, thereby improving the convenience of discharging.

[0096] Referring to Figure 11 With Figure 12 In some embodiments, the suction assembly 52 includes a plurality of suction nozzles 521. The suction nozzles 521 can simultaneously take a plurality of finished materials on the jig. The suction forces of different suction nozzles 521 do not interfere with each other, so as to facilitate the control of the suction force on the finished materials on different suction nozzles 521.

[0097] Referring to Figure 1 With Figure 11 In some embodiments, the transfer assembly 51 includes a first transfer member 511 and a second transfer member 512.

For example, the first direction X is a horizontal direction, the second direction Y is a vertical direction, the first transfer member 511 is a linear guide rail, and the second transfer member 512 is a linear guide rail.

[0098] Referring to Figure 11 With Figure 12In some embodiments, the material removing module 50 comprises a material removing mechanism 54 connected with the transfer assembly 51, the material removing mechanism 54 comprises a second driving member 541, a magnetic member 542 and a separation plate 543, the second driving member 541 is connected with the second transfer member 512, the second driving member 541 is connected with the magnetic member 542, the second driving member 541 is used to drive the magnetic member 542 to move towards or away from the separation plate 543, the magnetic member 542 is used to adsorb the residual material on the jig. For example, the second driving member 541 is a pneumatic cylinder, and the magnetic member is a magnet.

[0099] When the magnetic member 542 is close to the separation plate 543, the magnetic member 542 adsorbs the residual material, and the separation plate 543 is located between the residual material and the magnetic member 542; when the magnetic member 542 is away from the separation plate 543, the magnetic member 542 releases the adsorption of the residual material, and the residual material falls from the separation plate 543.

[0100] The transfer assembly 51 can drive the material removing mechanism 54 to move, so as to drive the material removing mechanism 54 to move towards or away from the jig, thereby facilitating the material removing mechanism 54 to remove the residual material on the jig. The second driving member 541 can drive the magnetic member 542 to move towards the jig, and the magnetic member 542 can adsorb the residual material on the jig. When the magnetic member 542 adsorbs the residual material, the separation plate 543 separates the residual material and the magnetic member 542. When the magnetic member 542 adsorbs the residual material and removes the residual material from the jig, the magnetic member moves away from the separation plate 543, the residual material is limited by the separation plate 543 and cannot move with the magnetic member 542, and as the magnetic member 542 moves away from the residual material, the residual material gradually loses the adsorption force of the magnetic member 542, until the residual material falls from the separation plate 543, thereby achieving the removal of the residual material.

[0101] Referring to Figure 11 In some embodiments, the material removing module 50 comprises a detection mechanism 55 arranged on the transfer assembly 51.

[0102] The detection mechanism 55 can move under the driving of the transfer assembly 51, so as to detect the first material and the second material after welding on the jig. The second camera 551 can move above the jig, and the light source and the light shield 552 can provide light for the jig, thereby facilitating the shooting of clear images, and further facilitating the distinction between qualified products and unqualified products, and facilitating the sorting of unqualified products.

[0103] Referring to Figure 11In some embodiments, the material collecting box 53 comprises a first material collecting box 531 for collecting qualified products and a second material collecting box 532 for collecting unqualified products.

[0104] In some embodiments, after the adsorption assembly 52 adsorbs the finished material, the detection mechanism 55 detects the position of the residual material on the jig, and the material cleaning mechanism 54 cleans the jig. Then the detection mechanism 55 detects the finished material adsorbed by the adsorption assembly 52, so as to distinguish qualified products from unqualified products, so as to put the qualified products and the unqualified products into different material collecting boxes 53.

[0105] In some embodiments, the jig after cleaning is rotated again by the turntable 61 to the first material feeding module 10, so that the whole welding process is circulated.
