[0028] In the embodiment: the upper surface of conveying belt 12 is installed with material blocking mechanism 13, the number of material blocking mechanism 13 is two, and the conveying belt 12 of feeding conveying line 1 continuously operates, cooperates two material blocking mechanisms 13 to carry out accurate limiting to water heater liner, guarantees that liner is stable in the position in the conveying process, reaches the specified position smoothly, and telescopic adsorption mechanism 23 can quickly grab liner and shift to the buffer table 24 of rack 26, greatly improves the feeding efficiency, reduces the waiting time, and ensures the continuity of production process.

[0029] Specifically, the upper surface of the rack 26 is fixedly connected with the buffer table 24, the upper surface of the rack 26 is fixedly connected with the sliding rail 25, the flange jacking component 27 is slidingly installed on the sliding rail 25, the structure design of each component of the equipment is reasonable, and the equipment is convenient to disassemble and install. When a fault occurs or maintenance is needed, maintenance personnel can quickly locate the problem and perform maintenance, reducing the downtime of the equipment and improving the availability of the equipment.

[0030] Specifically, the driving end of the flange jacking component 27 is installed with the heat insulation plate 28, which effectively protects the flange jacking component 27.

[0031] Specifically, the flange welding component 3 includes a stabilizing frame 31 installed on the rack 26, two symmetrically arranged wire feeding mechanisms 33 fixedly connected to one side of the stabilizing frame 31, and two mirror image arranged flange welding mechanisms 32 installed on the upper surface of the stabilizing frame 31. The flange welding component 3 is equipped with two wire feeding mechanisms 33 and mirror image arranged flange welding mechanisms 32, which can simultaneously weld the flanges of the inner container. Compared with the traditional single-station welding method, the flange welding time is greatly shortened, the welding efficiency is improved, and after the flange welding is completed, the flange jacking component 27 can quickly transport the inner container to the next station for further processing, further improving the overall production efficiency.

[0032] In this embodiment: the water pipe welding component 4 includes a support frame 41 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rack 26, a material tooling table 44 fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame 41, a material detection mechanism 43 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the material tooling table 44, a water pipe jacking mechanism 42 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rack 26, a positioning pin installed at the driving end of the water pipe jacking mechanism 42, and the positioning pin has four specifications, effectively jacking various specifications of water pipe products, and the water pipe jacking mechanism 42 controls the number of positioning pins jacked according to the number of water taps.

[0033] Specifically, the blanking buffer component 6 includes a blanking frame 61 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rack 26, and a protective plate 62 fixedly connected to both sides of the blanking frame 61.

[0034] Working principle: the water heater inner container to be welded is conveyed by the feeding conveying line 1, the conveying belt 12 continuously runs, and the inner container is conveyed from one end to the other end. The two material blocking mechanisms 13 installed on the surface of the conveying belt 12 can limit the position of the water heater inner container to ensure that it is stable during conveying and accurately reaches the specified position.

[0035] When the inner liner reaches one end of the conveyor belt 12 near the frame 26, the telescopic suction mechanism 23 located on the mounting brackets 21 on both sides of the conveyor belt 12 starts to work. The telescopic suction mechanism 23 slides along the guide rail 22 to the top of the inner liner, grabs the inner liner by suction, and transfers it to the frame 26, realizing the transition of the inner liner from the conveyor line to the frame 26, and places it on the buffer table 24 for temporary storage.

[0036] The inner liner, placed on the buffer platform 24, is slid down the flange lifting component 27 via the slide rail 25 to below the flange welding component 3. The heat insulation plate 28 at the drive end of the flange lifting component 27 prevents welding heat from damaging the lifting component and ensures the smooth rise of the inner liner. Once the inner liner reaches the appropriate position, it precisely aligns with the flange welding mechanism 32. Simultaneously, the wire feeding mechanism 33 stably feeds the welding wire. The flange welding mechanism 32 surrounds the inner liner and performs welding operations on the flange of the inner liner, greatly improving welding efficiency and ensuring consistent welding quality. Subsequently, the flange lifting component 27 transports the welded flanged inner liner to the next production line. The flanged inner liner is then placed on the material tooling table 44. Afterward, the flange lifting component 27 resets and continues to transfer and process the inner liner material adsorbed by the telescopic adsorption mechanism 23.

[0037] Before welding the water pipes, water pipes of different specifications are placed above the water pipe lifting mechanism 42. The lifting mechanism 42 controls the corresponding positioning pins to lift according to the number of water pipe nozzles, achieving precise positioning of the water pipes of different specifications. The material detection mechanism 43 on the material tooling table 44 monitors the placement of the water pipes in real time. Once the water pipe is detected as properly positioned, the welding robot 5 moves from one side to the work area and welds the water pipe to the inner liner according to a preset program. During the welding process, the movement trajectory and welding parameters of the welding robot 5 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs to ensure welding quality.

[0038] The welded inner tank of the water heater is then pushed by the flange lifting component 27 onto the unloading rack 61 of the unloading buffer component 6, awaiting further processing.
