[0084] Preferably, a dust collection box 10 is provided below the dust blowing assembly 7, and the dust collection box 10 is connected to a dust extraction machine.
[0085] 1. Feeding and positioning:
[0086] The nipples are fed into the nipple fixture 2 on the turntable 1 by manual or other automated feeding equipment, and the nipples are securely positioned. During manual feeding, the laser fence 3 serves a protective function, detecting whether the worker's hand is still in the work area, thus protecting the worker.
[0087] 2. Visual inspection:
[0088] As the nipple rotates on turntable 1, it passes through vision inspection component 4. There are two sets of vision cameras 405. The first set is used for visual identification of the product model after loading, preventing mistake-proofing and mixing. This is because the hole size of nipples varies depending on the age group. The second set of vision cameras captures the hole location of the product, instructing the laser to focus and capture an image of the nipple, and checking whether its surface and position meet predetermined requirements. If defects or deviations are found, the system will automatically reject the unqualified nipple or alert the operator, ensuring the quality of each nipple.
[0089] 3. Laser drilling:
[0090] After passing visual inspection, the nipples enter the laser drilling area. The ultraviolet laser drilling machine 503 precisely drills holes in the nipples using a laser beam. The laser drilling component 5 controls the emission and intensity of the laser according to a predetermined program to ensure the accuracy and consistency of each hole.
[0091] The two sets of different ultraviolet laser drilling machines 503 can operate individually or in combination to drill holes in different positions or in different sequences according to actual needs. During the drilling process, the laser protective sleeve 904 and the smoke exhaust system effectively remove the smoke generated during laser drilling to ensure a clean environment.
[0092] 4. Dust blowing and cleaning:
[0093] After the drilling is completed, the dust blowing component 7 removes the dust remaining on the nipple surface through high-pressure airflow, ensuring that each nipple is clean and dust-free.
[0094] 5. Material preparation:
[0095] After the previous step is completed, the nipple is sent to the feeding component 6, where it is gripped by the downward cylinder 603 and other components such as the gripper and sent to the feeding position after being punched, ready for subsequent processing. The feeding component 6 outputs the nipple into the collection basket, so that it can enter the next production stage or be packaged.
[0096] In the above steps, collection baskets and feeding baskets can be placed at the unloading point and the loading point as needed. After each rotation of the turntable 1, photoelectric sensors 201 are provided at equal intervals on the fixed inner plate 101 to sense whether the nipple fixture 2 is in place after the turntable 1 rotates, ensuring that it is in the working position of the working component.
[0097] The above is a detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments, and it should not be construed that the specific embodiments of the present invention are limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent substitutions or obvious modifications made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and which have the same performance or use, should be considered as falling within the patent protection scope defined by the submitted claims.
