[0016] The present invention is further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that the words "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper" and "lower" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the words "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0017] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a glue coating machine for automobile sheet metal parts includes a glue supply device 1, a glue supply hose 2 and a glue head 3, and the two ends of the glue supply hose 2 are respectively connected to the glue supply device 1 and the glue head 3. That is, the glue supply device 1 transports glue to the glue head 3 through the glue supply hose 2.

[0018] Furthermore, the glue supply device 1 includes a bracket 11, the upper end of the bracket 11 is fixedly connected to a cylindrical barrel 14, and the upper end of the barrel 14 is provided with an upper cover, the lower end of the barrel 14 is fixedly connected to a stirring motor 12, and a stirring rod is provided inside the barrel 14, and the output end of the stirring motor 12 is fixedly connected to the stirring rod. A convex shell 13 is provided at the lower part of the barrel 14, and a related electric control module and a glue supply pump are provided inside the convex shell 13, and one end of the glue supply hose 2 is fixedly connected to the output end of the pump, and the upper surface of the convex shell 13 is provided with related interfaces, such as a power supply interface, a communication interface, etc.

[0019] The glue head 3 includes a main body 36, which is a cuboid mechanism as a whole. A glue outlet 33 is arranged at one end of the main body 36, and the shape of the glue outlet 33 is rectangular. A horizontal spacing control mechanism 32 and a vertical spacing control mechanism 34 are staggered at the glue outlet 33. The horizontal spacing control mechanism 32 includes a horizontal baffle 321, and the horizontal baffle 321 moves horizontally to change the aperture of the glue outlet 33. The vertical spacing control mechanism 34 includes a vertical baffle 343, and the vertical baffle 343 moves vertically to change the aperture of the glue outlet 33. With the movement of the horizontal baffle 321 and the vertical baffle 343, the length and width of the glue outlet 33 change, which is beneficial to the needs of gluing different sheet metal parts and different positions of the same sheet metal part, and has higher flexibility.

[0020] Furthermore, at the end opposite to the glue outlet 33, the main body 36 is connected with a glue supply hose 2 and a cable 4 for power supply and control, and the cable 4 is connected to a preset interface at the upper end of the convex shell 13. A connection hole 37 is provided at the upper end of the main body 36, and the connection hole 37 is provided for fixing the glue head 3. In this solution, the glue head 3 can be fixedly connected to the robot arm to realize the multi-degree-of-freedom movement of the glue head 3 for glue application.

[0021] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, a glue feeding mechanism 31 is provided at one end of the main body 36, and the glue feeding mechanism 31 includes a film tape 314, and the film tape 314 is located directly below the glue outlet 33. The glue delivered from the glue outlet 33 falls onto the film tape 314, and then is transferred by the film tape 314 and placed on the sheet metal. It is explained here that the glue and the film tape 314 materials do not adhere to each other. For example, if the material of the glue is epoxy resin glue, the material of the film tape 314 can be selected from tetrafluoroethylene, silicone, fluororubber, etc.

[0022] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a chamber is provided inside the main body 36, and a piston 38 is provided in the chamber, that is, the piston 38 can slide in the chamber, and the rear end of the piston 38 is fixedly connected to a pipe fitting, and the rubber supply hose 2 is connected thereto, and the rubber supply hose 2 pumps glue into the chamber between the piston 38 and the glue outlet 33, and the movement of the piston 38 can change the pressure in the chamber where the glue is located, thereby controlling the flow rate of the glue discharged from the glue outlet 33, and the side wall of the pipe fitting is fixedly connected to a magnetic ring 39, and coils 310 are provided on both sides of the magnetic ring 39, and the coils 310 are fixedly connected to the main body 36, and the two coils 310 are energized in conjunction with each other, and a magnetic field is generated to interact with the magnetic ring 39, thereby pushing the piston 38 to move axially, thereby fine-tuning the pressure in the chamber where the glue is located, and ensuring the quality of the glue output.

[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, the lateral spacing control mechanism 32 also includes a horizontally arranged first motor 323 and a first screw 322. One end of the first screw 322 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 323, and the first screw 322 is threadedly connected to a protrusion arranged on the back of the lateral baffle 321. That is, the first motor 323 is started, and the lateral baffle 321 is moved along the axial direction of the first screw 322 through the transmission of the first screw 322, thereby adjusting the length of the glue outlet 33. In addition, a groove for placing the first motor 323, the first screw 322 and the lateral baffle 321 is arranged at the end of the main body 36.

[0024] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the vertical spacing control mechanism 34 also includes a horizontally arranged movable plate 341, a second screw rod 344, and a second motor 345. One end of the second screw rod 344 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 345. The second screw rod 344 is threadedly connected to a protrusion arranged on the back of the movable plate 341. An inclined hole 342 is arranged on the movable plate 341. A protruding rod 346 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the vertical baffle 343, and the protruding rod 346 is slidably fitted in the inclined hole 342. That is, the second motor 345 is started, and the second screw rod 344 is driven to realize the axial movement of the movable plate 341 along the second screw rod 344. The movable plate 341 and the vertical baffle 343 adopt a matching mode of the baffle rod 346 and the inclined hole 342. When the movable plate 341 moves, the vertical baffle 343 moves vertically, thereby realizing the width adjustment of the glue outlet 33. In addition, a groove for accommodating the vertical spacing control mechanism 34 is provided at the end of the main body 36, and there is no interference between the lateral spacing control mechanism 32 and the vertical spacing control mechanism 34, and the lateral baffle 321 and the vertical baffle 343 are staggered.

[0025] like Figure 7 As shown, the glue feeding mechanism 31 also includes a first side plate 311 and a second side plate 315. The shapes of the first side plate 311 and the second side plate 315 are similar to triangles, and a wedge block 312, a guide rod 318 and a third motor 3110 are arranged between the first side plate 311 and the second side plate 315. The film belt 314 is sleeved on the wedge block 312, the guide rod 318 and the third motor 3110. The third motor 3110 is started to drive the film belt 314 to rotate. When the glue falls on the film belt 314, the glue is transported out from the front end of the wedge block 312 as the film belt 314 moves, and the guide rod 318 is located below the glue outlet 33.

[0026] Furthermore, the first side plate 311 is buckled and arranged on the second side plate 315, and a screw and a fixing nut 313 are arranged on the wedge block 312. When the first side plate 311 needs to be removed, the fixing bolt 313 needs to be unscrewed. The purpose of this arrangement is to facilitate the replacement of the film strip 314. Since the film strip 314 passes through the sharp edge of the wedge block 312, the film strip 314 is severely bent and prone to fatigue damage. The film strip 314 needs to pass through the sharp edge of the wedge block 312 to facilitate the separation of glue from the film strip 314.

[0027] A support rod 317 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the second side plate 315, and the support rod 317 is L-shaped. Image sensors 316 are respectively provided at the lower and upper parts of the support rod 317. The two image sensors 316 are used to obtain the dimensions of the glue in two directions by image recognition, which is conducive to fine-tuning the parameters of the glue output, for example, controlling the power supply status of the first motor 323, the second motor 345 and the coil 310.

[0028] like Figure 8 As shown, the glue feeding mechanism 31 includes a tensioning mechanism 319, which is used to adjust the tightness of the film belt 314. The tensioning mechanism 319 includes a cross bar, and the cross bar is inserted and arranged on the second side plate 315, and the cross bar and the second side plate 315 are rotatably connected.

[0029] One end of the cross bar is fixedly connected to the swing arm 3192, and the other end of the swing arm 3192 is rotatably connected to the tensioning roller 3191, and the tensioning roller 3191 presses the film belt 314 upward, that is, presses the film belt 314 upward. When installing the film belt 314, the film belt 314 can be firstly sleeved on the wedge block 312, the guide rod 318 and the third motor 3110, and then the tensioning roller 3191 is moved to press against the film belt 314, which also provides convenience for the film belt 314. The other end of the cross bar is provided with a torsion spring 3193 for keeping the tensioning roller 3191 pressing against the film belt 314 upward, and the outer side of the torsion spring 3193 is covered with a cover 3194, that is, the torsion spring 3193 is in a pre-tightened state, one end of which is fixed on the cross bar, and the other end is provided on the second side plate 315 or the cover 3194.

[0030] The technical means disclosed in the scheme of the present invention are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above-mentioned implementation mode, but also include technical schemes composed of any combination of the above technical features.
