[0043] Example 1:

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1-12 This embodiment is a welding and assembly equipment 100 for a bacterial collector cup body component, including a turntable mechanism 1, a cup body feeding mechanism 2, a top cover feeding mechanism 3, a first welding mechanism 4, a flipping mechanism 5, a base feeding mechanism 6, a second welding mechanism 7, a second unloading mechanism 8, and a waste discharge mechanism 9 arranged sequentially around the turntable mechanism 1.

[0045] This embodiment provides a welding and assembly equipment 100 for a bacterial collector cup body assembly, which is mainly used for welding and assembling the cup body assembly 201 of the bacterial collector 200. The cup body assembly 201 includes a cup body 2011, a base 2012 disposed at the bottom of the cup body 2011, and a top cover 2013 disposed at the top of the cup body 2011.

[0046] The cup body feeding mechanism 2 picks up the cup body 2011 and places it on the turntable mechanism 1, then rotates it to the top cover feeding mechanism 3. The top cover feeding mechanism 3 places the top cover 201 on top of the cup body 2011, then rotates it to the first welding mechanism 4, where the top cover 201 and the cup body 2011 are welded together. Then it rotates to the flipping mechanism 5, where the cup body and top cover assembly is flipped 180 degrees so that the bottom of the cup body is on top. Then it rotates to the base feeding mechanism 6, where the base 2012 is placed on the cup body 2011. Then it rotates to the second welding mechanism 7, where the cup body 2011 and the base 2012 are welded together to form the cup body assembly 201. Then it rotates to the second unloading mechanism 8, where the cup body assembly 201 is removed from the turntable mechanism 1 and unloaded.

[0047] The turntable mechanism 1 includes a first driving member 11, a turntable 12 driven by the first driving member 11 to rotate around the Z-axis, and a plurality of carriers 13 arranged at equal angles on the turntable 12.

[0048] The carrier 13 is movably mounted on the turntable 12 and includes a base plate 131 located below the turntable 12, a carrier plate 132 located above the turntable 12, a connecting rod (not shown in the figure) connecting the base plate 131 and the carrier plate 132 and passing through the turntable 12, and a sleeve 133 located below the turntable 12 and fitted onto the connecting rod.

[0049] The carrier plate 132 is provided with a first bearing cavity 1321 and a second bearing cavity 1322. The first bearing cavity 1321 is used to support the welding of the cup body 2011 and the top cover 201; the second bearing cavity 1322 is used to support the assembly of the cup body 2011 and the top cover 201 welded together in an inverted state, and is used to support the welding of the assembly to the base 2012. A support column 1323 is provided in the first bearing cavity 1321 to support the top wall of the cup body from the inside. The support column 1323 supports the top wall of the cup body, providing bottom support for the top cover 201 during welding. On the one hand, it ensures the effective welding of the top cover 201, and on the other hand, it prevents the top wall of the cup body from being pressed and deformed, which would prevent the top cover 201 from being effectively welded. The second bearing acupoint 1322 is provided with a limiting cylinder 1324 that is similar in shape to the assembly. The limiting cylinder 1324 restricts the circumferential position of the assembly, which on the one hand ensures the accurate positioning of the assembly, and on the other hand prevents the cup body 2011 from being axially squeezed and deformed during the welding process of the base 2012.

[0050] In this embodiment, the carrier 13 is movably mounted on the turntable 12. In its natural state, the carrier 13 rests on the turntable 12 under its own weight, relying on the carrier plate 132. When the turntable 12 rotates with the carrier 13 to the position of the first welding mechanism 4 and / or the second welding mechanism 7, the carrier 13 is lifted upward by the bottom support module 71 set below the turntable 12. At this time, the carrier 13 sits directly on the bottom support module 71. When the welding mechanism presses down on the parts on the carrier 13 for welding, the bottom support module 71 can provide strong support to prevent the welding pressure applied by the welding mechanism from ultimately acting on the turntable 12. The bottom of the circumference of the turntable 12 is suspended and cannot provide strong support, resulting in welding failure.

[0051] The cup feeding mechanism 2 includes a cup feeding module (not shown in the figure), a photographing module 21 that takes pictures of the cups 2011 supplied by the cup feeding module, and a cup handling module 22 that adjusts the cups 2011 supplied by the cup feeding module to a set state according to the cup orientation information obtained by the photographing module 21 before placing them on the carrier 13. The cup feeding module can use a conveyor line to supply the cups, and the cups 2011 are transported in a standing position to the bottom of the cup feeding mechanism 2 via the conveyor line. The photographing module 21 first takes pictures of the cups 2011 to obtain their initial angle state upon arrival, so that the cup handling module 22 can adjust the cups 2011 to the set angle state and place them in the carrier 13 according to the initial angle state.

[0052] The cup handling module 22 includes a first three-axis transfer assembly 221, a first support plate 222 disposed at the movable end of the first three-axis transfer assembly 221, a second drive member 223 fixed on the first support plate 222, and a first pneumatic gripper 224 driven by the second drive member 223 to rotate around the Z-axis. The first three-axis transfer assembly 221 enables positional changes in the cup 2011, and the second drive member 223 drives the first pneumatic gripper 224 to grip the cup 2011 and rotate it, thus adjusting the direction angle. In this embodiment, the photography module 21 is separately configured and includes a third drive member 211 and a camera 212 driven by the third drive member 211 to move horizontally. The camera 212 is driven horizontally by the third drive unit 211 to avoid obstacles. After the cup 2011 is delivered to the desired position, the camera 212 first moves above the cup 2011 to take a picture. After taking the picture, it moves to the side so that the first pneumatic gripper 224 can move above the cup 2011 to grasp it. The cup 2011 is placed on the carrier 13 at a set angle so that the top cover 201 can be accurately assembled with the cup 2011. After adjusting the angle, the cup 2011 is placed in the first bearing cavity 1321 on the carrier 13, and the top wall of the cup 2011 is supported from the inside by the support column 1323. The support area of ​​the support column 1323 corresponds to the installation area of ​​the top cover 201.

[0053] The top cover feeding mechanism 3 includes a top cover feeding module 31, a material distribution module 32 located at the end of the top cover feeding module 31, and a top cover transport module 33 that transports the top cover 201 on the material distribution module 32 to the carrier 13.

[0054] The top cover feeding module 31 uses a vibratory feeder for feeding.

[0055] The material distribution module 32 includes a receiving plate 321 that is connected to the end of the top cover feeding module 31 and a first cylinder 322 that drives the receiving plate 321 to cut the material. The receiving plate 321 is provided with a receiving groove 3211 that can only support one top cover 201.

[0056] The top cover handling module 33 includes a second cylinder 331, a second support plate 332 driven by the second cylinder 331 to move up and down, a third cylinder 333 fixed on the second support plate 332, a third support plate 334 driven by the third cylinder 333 to rotate around the Z-axis, and a pair of top cover suction blocks 335 symmetrically arranged on the third support plate 334. The third cylinder 333 drives the pair of top cover suction blocks 335 to rotate, realizing the alternating handling and feeding of the top cover. After the top cover 201 is adsorbed in the receiving groove 3211, the top cover suction block 335 rotates 180° to the top of the carrier 13, and then places the top cover 201 on the cup body 2011 at the set position, realizing the assembly and feeding of the top cover.

[0057] In this embodiment, both the first welding mechanism 4 and the second welding mechanism 7 are ultrasonic welding mechanisms. In other embodiments, other welding mechanisms, such as laser welding, may also be used.

[0058] The flipping mechanism 5 includes a fourth driving member 51, a fourth support plate 52 driven by the fourth driving member 51 to move up and down, a fourth cylinder 53 fixed on the fourth support plate 52, and a first gripper assembly 54 driven by the fourth cylinder 53 to rotate around a horizontal axis. The first gripper assembly 54, driven by the fourth cylinder 53, grips the assembly formed by the cup body 2011 and the top cover 201, removes it from the first bearing cavity 1321, then flips it 180 degrees and places it in the second bearing cavity 1322, so that the bottom of the cup body 2011 faces upwards, facilitating the subsequent assembly and welding of the base 2012.

[0059] The base feeding mechanism 6 includes a base feeding module 61, a transfer and flipping module 62 located at the end of the base feeding module 61, and a base transporting module 63 that transports the base 2012 on the transfer and flipping module 62 to the carrier 13.

[0060] The base feeding module 61 conveys a single row of bases to the underside of the transfer and flipping module 62 via a conveyor line, and its end is provided with a lifting assembly 64 that lifts the base 2012 upwards. The lifting assembly 64 includes a fifth cylinder 641 and an inner support block 642 driven by the fifth cylinder 641 to move up and down. The inner support block 642 lifts the base 2012 upwards from the inside so that the transfer and flipping module 62 can smoothly clamp the base 2012.

[0061] The transfer and flipping module 62 includes a sixth cylinder 621, a fifth support plate 622 driven by the sixth cylinder 621 to move up and down, a seventh cylinder 623 fixed on the fifth support plate 622, and a second gripper assembly 624 driven by the seventh cylinder 623 to rotate around a horizontal axis. Since the base 2012 arrives in an inverted state, the transfer and flipping module 62 flips the base 2012 180 degrees up and down to the assembled state.

[0062] The base handling module 63 includes an eighth cylinder 631, a sixth support plate (not shown in the figure) driven by the eighth cylinder 631 to move up and down, a ninth cylinder 632 fixed on the sixth support plate, a seventh support plate 633 driven by the ninth cylinder 632 to rotate around the Z-axis, and a pair of third gripper assemblies 634 symmetrically arranged on the seventh support plate 633. The ninth cylinder 632 drives the third gripper assemblies 634 to clamp the base 2012 and rotate it horizontally by 180 degrees, achieving alternating handling and loading of the base.

[0063] The second unloading mechanism 8 includes a flipping and picking module 81 that removes the cup assembly 201 from the carrier 13 and flips it 180 degrees up and down, and a cup assembly handling module 82 that removes the cup assembly 201 from the flipping and picking module 81 and places it into the first carrier 2 on the circulating conveyor line 1.

[0064] The flipping and picking module 81 includes a tenth cylinder 811, an eighth support plate 812 driven by the tenth cylinder 811 to move up and down, an eleventh cylinder 813 fixed on the eighth support plate 812, and a fourth gripper assembly 814 driven by the eleventh cylinder 813 to rotate around a horizontal axis. The eleventh cylinder 813 drives the fourth gripper assembly 814 to grip the cup assembly 201 and flip it 180 degrees, achieving vertical adjustment of the cup assembly 201. A blowing assembly 83 is also provided beside the flipping and picking module 81 for cleaning impurities from the cup assembly 201. The blowing assembly 83 blows away welding debris from the outer periphery of the cup assembly 201.

[0065] The cup assembly handling module 82 includes a second three-axis transfer assembly 821, a ninth support plate 822 disposed at the movable end of the second three-axis transfer assembly 821, a fifth drive member 823 fixed on the ninth support plate 822, and a second pneumatic gripper 824 driven by the fifth drive member 823 to rotate around the Z-axis. The second three-axis transfer assembly 821 realizes the positional change of the cup assembly 201, and the fifth drive member 823 drives the second pneumatic gripper 824 to clamp the cup assembly 201 and rotate it, thereby adjusting the angle of the cup assembly 201 so that it is placed in the first carrier 2 at a uniform angle.

[0066] Below the turntable 12, corresponding to the working position of the second unloading mechanism 8, there is an ejection mechanism (not shown in the figure) that pushes the cup assembly 201 located in the limiting cylinder 1324 on the carrier 13 upward, so that the second unloading mechanism 8 can take the cup assembly 201 out of the limiting cylinder 1324.

[0067] The flipping mechanism 5 is also equipped with a detection component 55 for detecting whether the material is correctly placed in the carrier. The detection component 55 includes a bracket 551 and a first sensor 552 and a second sensor 553 mounted on the bracket 551 and respectively aligned with the assembly in the first bearing cavity 1321 and the second bearing cavity 1322 on the carrier 13. The first sensor 552 detects whether the top cover 201 is correctly placed in the first bearing cavity 1321, and the second sensor 553 detects whether the assembly is correctly placed in the second bearing cavity 1322.

[0068] The waste removal mechanism 9 is used to reject defective products based on the detection results of the detection component 55. Defective products will not be removed or unloaded at the second unloading mechanism 8. The waste removal mechanism 9 includes a twelfth cylinder 91, a tenth support plate 92 driven by the twelfth cylinder 91 to move up and down, a thirteenth cylinder 93 fixed on the tenth support plate 92, an eleventh support plate 94 driven by the thirteenth cylinder 93 to rotate around the Z-axis, a fifth gripper assembly 95 fixed on the eleventh support plate 94 and corresponding to the first bearing cavity 1321 and the second bearing cavity 1322 on the carrier 13, a sixth gripper assembly 96, and a defective product collection box 97 for receiving NG products on the fifth gripper assembly 95 and the sixth gripper assembly 96. When the first sensor 552 detects a defect, the flipping mechanism 5 does not perform the flipping action. The defective product rotates with the carrier 13 to the waste discharge mechanism 9 and is removed and discharged through the fifth gripper assembly 95. When the first sensor 552 detects an OK, the flipping mechanism 5 performs the flipping action. The assembly moves from the first bearing cavity 1321 to the second bearing cavity 1322. The second sensor 553 performs the detection. If the detection fails, the waste is removed and discharged through the sixth gripper assembly 96 at the waste discharge mechanism 9.
