In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0053] like Figure 1As shown, an automated production line according to an embodiment of the present invention is used to process a workpiece 1 to be processed. It includes a feeding conveyor line 100, a laser marking device 200, a first processing center 300, a turnover table 400, a second processing center 500, an air blowing device 600, an unloading conveyor line 700, a robot 800, and a control system. The feeding conveyor line 100 is used to transport the workpiece 1 to be processed. The laser marking device 200 is used to mark and scan the workpiece 1. The first processing center 300 is used to perform a first-stage processing on the workpiece 1 that has passed the scanning by the laser marking device 200. The turnover table 400 is used to turn over the workpiece 1 after the first-stage processing. The second processing center 500... 0 is used to perform the second process on material 1. The air blowing device 600 is used to blow away the residual waste and water stains on material 1. The unloading conveyor line 700 is used to transport the processed material 1. The robot 800 is used to grab the material 1 to be processed and, in subsequent processes, send the material to be processed from the corresponding workstation to the laser marking device 200, the first processing center 300, the turnover table 400, the second processing center 500, the air blowing device 600 and the unloading conveyor line 700 respectively. The control system is electrically connected to the laser marking device 200, the first processing center 300, the turnover table 400, the second processing center 500, the air blowing device 600 and the robot 800 respectively. After the material 1 to be processed is conveyed to the designated position by the feeding conveyor line 100, the robot 800, under the command of the control system, grabs the material 1 and sends it to the laser marking device 200 to complete the marking and scanning inspection. The unqualified material 1 is moved to the waste area. If the scanning is qualified, the robot 800 grabs the qualified material 1 and sends it to the first processing center 300. The first processing center 300 performs the first process on the material 1. After the first process is completed, the robot 800 grabs the material 1 and puts it on the turnover table 400. Then the robot 800 adjusts to the posture required for the second process and moves the material 1 from the turnover table 400 to the turnover table 400. The rotating table 400 delivers the material to the second machining center 500. After the second machining center 500 completes the second process, the robot 800 picks up the material 1 from the second machining center 500 and moves it to the front of the air blowing device 600. The air blowing device 600 blows away the surface debris and water stains. Finally, the cleaned finished material is placed on the unloading conveyor line 700 and transported to the subsequent stage. The entire process does not require manual intervention. Through the precise linkage of various equipment and control systems, production efficiency is greatly improved, processing accuracy and quality consistency are guaranteed, labor costs and operational risks are reduced, and material transfer losses and scrap rates are reduced.

[0054] In this embodiment, the unloading conveyor line 700 is spaced directly below the loading conveyor line 100. The loading conveyor line 100 and the unloading conveyor line 700 are arranged in a stacked manner, effectively saving equipment space and improving the compactness of the equipment layout. After completing the unloading, the robot 800 immediately returns to the loading conveyor line 100 to pick up the next workpiece 1 to be processed, and the process is repeated cyclically to ensure that the entire line operates in a coordinated and stable manner.

[0055] Further reference Figure 1 The automated production line also includes a floor rail 900, which is electrically connected to the control system. The floor rail 900 is laid within the production line and can drive the robot 800 to move along the direction in which it is laid. Specifically, the floor rail 900 is laid in a straight line, allowing the robot to use any position on the line as a reference point and rotate circumferentially around that point. This expands the working range of the robot 800, and, combined with the precise linkage between various devices and the control system, significantly improves production efficiency and flexibility.

[0056] The first machining center 300 and the second machining center 500 are respectively located on opposite sides of the ground rail 900, both within the annular working area of ​​the robot 800. The laying direction of the ground rail 900 overlaps with the diameter of the annular working area; that is, the robot 800 is positioned with a point on the ground rail 900 as its center, and the first machining center 300 and the second machining center 500 are located within the annular working area formed by the robot 800 revolving around this center point. This layout of the ground rail 900 and the machining centers on both sides further optimizes the robot 800's operating path and space utilization efficiency, significantly improving production efficiency and reducing material handling losses.

[0057] Multiple first machining centers 300 are arranged, located on the same side of the ground rail 900 and sequentially along its laying direction. This unidirectional arrangement of the first machining centers 300, combined with the linkage between the ground rail 900 and the robot 800, allows the robot 800 to complete the loading and unloading processes of multiple first machining centers 300 within a short stroke. This enables simultaneous processing of multiple parts, significantly increasing the capacity of the first machining process and further improving production efficiency and process flexibility. Similarly, multiple second machining centers 500 can also be arranged, positioned along the laying direction of the ground rail 900 on the side opposite to the first machining centers 300. Likewise, the robot 800 can complete the loading and unloading processes of multiple second machining centers 500 within a short stroke, thereby increasing the capacity of the second machining process and further improving production efficiency and process flexibility. It is worth noting that the first machining center 300 and the second machining center are set up in a corresponding manner, making it more convenient and efficient to transfer the workpiece 1 to be processed from the first machining center 300 to the second machining center 500, thereby further improving the overall production efficiency and process flexibility of the production line.

[0058] like Figure 2As shown, the robot 800 includes a pair of grippers 810 symmetrically arranged. One gripper 810 is used to feed part 1 to the first machining center 300, and the other gripper 810 is used to remove part 1 from the first machining center 300; or, one gripper 810 is used to feed part 1 to the second machining center 500, and the other gripper 810 is used to remove part 1 from the second machining center 500. By setting up a pair of grippers 810, one responsible for feeding to the first machining center 300 and the other responsible for feeding to the first machining center 300, or one responsible for feeding to the second machining center 500 and the other responsible for feeding to the second machining center 500, the robot 800 operates efficiently under the command of the control system. The division of labor between the two grippers 810 is clear and coordinated with the layout of the first machining center 300 and the second machining center 500, realizing the synchronous connection of loading and unloading actions, significantly shortening the process changeover time, avoiding wasted robot idle time, and further improving production efficiency.

[0059] Further reference Figure 2 The gripper 810 includes a base plate 811 and multiple gripper assemblies 812 disposed on the base plate 811. The multiple gripper assemblies 812 are distributed at the edge of the base plate 811 for fixing the workpiece 1. The multiple gripper assemblies 812 fix the workpiece 1 from the edge, ensuring that the workpiece 1 is gripped firmly and reliably, and preventing it from shifting or falling off during processing or transportation. In addition, multiple positioning posts 8110 are also provided on the base plate 811. The positioning posts are used to support and position the workpiece 1. The positioning of the workpiece 1 is accurately aligned by the support and positioning of the positioning posts 8110, ensuring the consistency of position during each gripping and transportation.

[0060] like Figure 3As shown, the gripper assembly 812 includes a mounting base 813, a linkage arm 814, a clamping block 815, and a cylinder 816. The mounting base 813 is fixed on the cylinder 816. One end of the linkage arm 814 is hinged to the mounting base 813 via a first rotating shaft 817, and the other end is hinged to the clamping block 815 via a second rotating shaft 818. The end of the clamping block 815 is hinged to the piston rod 8160 of the cylinder 816 via a third rotating shaft 819. A clamping part 8150 for pressing the material 1 is provided on the end of the clamping block 815 away from the third rotating shaft 819. During operation, the piston rod 8160 of the cylinder 816 extends and retracts, causing the clamping block 815 to rotate around the third rotating shaft 819. Simultaneously, the linkage arm 814 rotates in cooperation with the first rotating shaft 817 and the second rotating shaft 818, enabling the clamping part 8150 to clamp or release the workpiece 1. Specifically, when the piston rod 8160 extends, the clamping part 8150 moves downward and presses firmly against the workpiece 1; when the piston rod retracts, the clamping part 8150 lifts upward, releasing the constraint on the workpiece 1. The clamping force of the clamping part 8150 can be precisely controlled by the air pressure of the cylinder 816, which can prevent the workpiece 1 from loosening and shifting, and also prevent excessive pressure from causing deformation or surface damage to the workpiece 1. At the same time, the automated clamping action reduces manual operation steps and improves clamping efficiency.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, a first fixing seat 821 is provided on the side of the base plate 811 opposite to the gripper assembly 812. An electrical box 830 and a second fixing seat 822 are fixed on the robotic arm 820 of the robot 800. The first fixing seat 821 and the second fixing seat 822 are used to fix the cables and air tubes between the gripper assembly 812 and the electrical box 830. The cables and air tubes are fixed by passing them through, which is more convenient and allows for more direct monitoring of whether the cables and / or organs are tangled. This allows for timely shutdown after tangling occurs, thus preventing damage to the robot 800.

[0062] Further reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The turnover table 400 is used to place the material 1, and the robot 800 is used to pick up the material 1 from its first side 10 and place it on the turnover table 400, and pick up the material 1 from its second side 11 and leave the turnover table 400. The first side 10 and the second side 11 can be designed to be in relative positions. By cooperating with the turnover table 400, the robot 800 can flip the material 1, thereby reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.

[0063] The tilting table 400 is equipped with a support part 410 for supporting the material 1, and the support part 410 and the gripper part 810 do not overlap in the vertical direction. The tilting table 400 also has a vertically penetrating opening 420 for the gripper part 810 to move vertically. When the material 1 needs to be tilted, the robot 800 picks up the material 1 from its first side 10 and moves vertically to place it on the support part 410. Then, it exits from below the material 1 and picks up the material 1 from its second side 11, thus tilting the material 1. The operation is simple, reducing the probability of malfunctions during production and improving production efficiency.

[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, a first air-blowing assembly is provided within the first machining center 300 and / or the second machining center 500. The first air-blowing assembly includes a rotary table 310 and an air-blowing component 320. The rotary table 310 supports the workpiece 1 and can rotate around a pivot 330. The air-blowing component 320 is located on one side of the rotary table 310 and is used to blow away residual debris and water stains on the workpiece 1. When the first air-blowing assembly is working, the rotary table 310 drives the workpiece 1 to rotate, working in conjunction with the air-blowing component 320 to perform thorough cleaning. Notably, the workpiece 1 located on the rotary table 310 can be directly facing the air-blowing component 320, allowing for faster and more efficient removal of residual debris and water stains from the interior of the workpiece 1.

[0065] Furthermore, the air blowing component 320 includes multiple sets of staggered air blowing ports 321, and each set of air blowing ports 321 is spaced apart along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 330 and can be positioned directly opposite the workpiece 1 rotated to a preset position. The staggered and spaced air blowing ports 321 enable the rotating table 310 to expand the cleaning area of ​​the workpiece 1 at any angle, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0066] Furthermore, the multiple sets of air nozzles 321 are positioned at different distances from the end face of the workpiece 1. This ensures that as the rotary table 310 rotates the workpiece 1, the air nozzles 321 at different distances can cover different areas of the workpiece 1, and the covered areas of different air nozzles 321 overlap, further improving the comprehensiveness of cleaning. Moreover, the internal structure of the workpiece 1 is irregular, i.e., of varying depths, and the air nozzles 321 at different distances can ensure that all parts within the cavity of the workpiece 1 can be effectively cleaned as much as possible.

[0067] like Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, the air blowing device 600 includes a frame 610 and a second air blowing assembly 620 fixed within the frame 610. The second air blowing assembly 620 includes an air blowing platform 621, positioning pins 622, inner air blowing pipes 623, and outer air blowing pipes 624. Multiple positioning pins 622 are fixed to the air blowing platform 621 to support and position the material 1. Multiple inner air blowing pipes 623 are disposed on the air blowing platform 621 and can be inserted into blind holes in the material 1 to clean debris from the blind holes. Multiple outer air blowing pipes 624 are respectively disposed on the air blowing platform 621 and / or the frame 610 to blow away residual debris and cleaning fluid from the outside of the material 1. This second air blowing assembly 620 cooperates with the first air blowing assembly to completely cover both the inner and outer sides of the material 1, thereby blowing away residual debris and cleaning fluid through air blowing.

[0068] Further reference Figure 8 The air blowing device 600 also includes a waste drawer 630 that is removably mounted on the frame 610. The waste drawer 630 is located directly below the second air blowing assembly 620 and is used to receive waste debris blown off by the inner air blowing pipe 623 and the outer air blowing pipe 624. Workers need to periodically remove the waste drawer 630 for cleaning.

[0069] Furthermore, the air blowing device 600 also includes a water tank 640 fixed to the frame 610. The water tank 640 stores cleaning fluid, and the robot 800 can grab the workpiece 1 into the water tank 640 for cleaning. Specifically, before the robot 800 grabs the workpiece 1 onto the air blowing platform 621, the robot 800 first grabs the workpiece 1 and cleans it with water. After cleaning, the robot 800 places the workpiece 1 onto the air blowing platform 621 for the next step of air blowing.

[0070] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the laser marking device 200 includes a frame 210, a marking platform 220 and a laser marking machine 230. The marking platform 220 is mounted on the frame 210 to support the material 1, and the laser marking machine 230 is located directly above the marking platform 220.

[0071] The marking platform 220 is equipped with a limit block 221, a positioning rod 222 and a pressing component. The limit block 221 is used to limit the material 1, the positioning rod 222 is used to position the material 1, and the pressing component is used to press the material 1. Through the cooperation of the limit block 221, the positioning rod 222 and the pressing component, the position of the material 1 is fixed during the marking process, and the marking is avoided due to vibration or displacement.

[0072] Specifically, the clamping assembly includes a clamping cylinder 223 and a pressure block 224. The clamping cylinder 223 is used to drive the pressure block 224 to press the material 1.

[0073] The frame 210 is also equipped with a display 240, which is electrically connected to the control system. The display 240 can display the marking status, the marking time of the material 1, and whether the marking is qualified.

[0074] The frame 210 is also equipped with a barcode scanner, which is electrically connected to the control system. The barcode scanner is used to determine whether the marking level is qualified, which can ensure that each material 1 after the judgment meets the customer requirements.

[0075] The frame 210 is also equipped with a dotting cylinder 250 and a pin 260 driven by the dotting cylinder 250. The dotting cylinder 250 drives the pin 260 to dot the qualified material 1, so as to prevent the unqualified material 1 from being mixed with the qualified material 1.

[0076] A protective frame 270 is also fixed on the frame 210. The protective frame 270 surrounds the laser marking machine 230 to prevent the laser marking machine 230 from being damaged when the gripper 810 places the material 1, thereby protecting the laser marking machine 230.
