The pressing cylinder 233 is fixed at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 232, and the pressure plate 234 is fixed at the bottom of the output rod of the pressing cylinder 233. In order to improve the pressing effect, multiple rubber soft strips 2341 are fixed on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 234, and the rubber soft strips 2341 can press vertically on the refrigerator compressor tube.

[0025] The side leveling mechanism includes two leveling cylinders 24 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the turntable 231. The two leveling cylinders 24 are fixed on the frame 21 respectively, and the piston rod end of the leveling cylinder 24 is fixed with a leveling plate 241.

The tilting assembly 26 can drive the baffle 25 to tilt 90 degrees. For details, refer to... Figure 2The flipping assembly 26 includes a base 261, a flipping cylinder 262, a flipping arm 263, and a connector 264. The base 261 is fixed on the frame 21.

Then, the robotic arm 1 drives the grinder 12 to automatically grind the end face of the tube. After the grinding is completed, the flipping component 26 drives the baffle 25 to flip up. The robotic arm 1 drives the blower 11 to blow dust from the end face of the tube. The surface dust and the dust inside the tube can be blown into the dust collection hood 3.

[0032] After that, the turntable 231 drives the tube to rotate again and repeats the above actions, which can remove chips from the other end of the tube. The whole process is highly automated and has a good chip removal effect.

[0033] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.
