Using the Y-axis guide rail 111 and the Y-axis slider 112, the roller shutter 3 can be transported to the product conveyor belt 10, which can then transport the roller shutter 3 to the next workstation. A damping retraction time adjustment mechanism 12 for the inner tube spring assembly 31 can be disposed on one side of the product conveyor belt 10 of this invention.

[0073] The frame 1 of this utility model is also equipped with a transparent protective door 13 and a safety protective light curtain 14 to protect the safety of the operators.

[0074] In use, the following steps are taken: First, the label 21 is mounted on the label machine 2, and the inner tube spring assembly 31 is positioned inside the inner tube heating module 4. Then, the label moving device 55 uses the first Z-axis moving mechanism 53 to attract the label 21, and uses the first X-axis guide rail 51 and the first X-axis slider 52 to transport the label 21 to the inner tube spring assembly 31 in the inner tube heating module 4. The first Z-axis moving mechanism 53 then affixes the label 21 to the inner tube spring assembly 31. The inner tube moving device 56 transfers the inner tube spring assembly 31 with the label 21 attached and waits to attach the inner tube spring assembly 31 to the product curtain 34.

[0075] Next, the product top cover 32, product bottom cover 33, product curtain 34, and product handle 35 are assembled and placed on the welding platform 61 of the product welding moving slide 6.

The product welding moving slide 6 is moved to below the welding fixture 8 using the X-axis moving mechanism 7, and the product top cover 32, product bottom cover 33, product curtain 34, and product handle 35 are ultrasonically welded.

[0076] After the welding is completed, the welding fixture 8 returns to its original position, the product welding moving slide 6 moves to the designated position, and the inner tube moving device 56 uses the first X-axis guide rail 51, the first X-axis slider 52 and the second Z-axis moving mechanism 54 to move the inner tube spring assembly 31 with the label 21 attached to it to the product welding moving slide 6, and attach the inner tube spring assembly 31 to the welded product curtain 53 to assemble it into a complete roller shutter 3.

[0077] The product and pressure plate pick-and-place device 9 moves above the product welding moving slide 6, hooks the handle 63 of the product flat pressure plate 62 with the hook 91, and uses the product pick-and-place device 93 to take the assembled roller shutter 3 out of the product moving welding slide 6. The roller shutter 3 is then transferred to the product conveyor belt 10 and transported to the next station using the Y-axis moving mechanism 11.

[0078] This utility model can be equipped with a label machine 2, an inner tube heating module 4, a material moving module 5, a product welding moving slide 6, an X-axis moving mechanism 7, a product and pressure plate picking and placing device 9, a product conveyor belt 10, and a Y-axis moving mechanism 11 on the left and right sides of the frame 1, respectively, so as to facilitate more efficient production of the roller shutter 3.
