Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dispensing equipment, and particularly to a dispenser. Background Art

[0002] The dispensing valve is the most important working component on the dispenser. A dispenser is an automated machine that controls fluids through a dispensing valve and drips or coats the fluids on the surface or inside of products. With the continuous development of technology, dispensers are widely used in the automotive manufacturing industry, electronic manufacturing industry, industrial electricity, solar photovoltaics, construction engineering, etc., and the market application is quite popular; currently, the equipment is manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic. The degree of automation is getting higher and higher.

[0003] The application fields of dispensers are constantly enriched and developed, and various forms of requirements are also put forward for the dispensing valve. Currently, there are more than 30 types of dispensing valves on the market in the dispensing industry. According to the glue discharging method, the dispensing valve can be divided into contact type and non-contact type. The non-contact dispensing valve is a new technology developed in recent years. Similar to the inkjet printing principle, it has the advantages of high speed and small glue dots, but the technology is not very mature and is very sensitive to the viscosity of the glue; while the traditional contact dispensing valve is widely used because of its simple and reliable structure, stable performance, wide application range, and long service life. Common ones include: thimble type dispensing valve, plunger type dispensing valve, diaphragm type dispensing valve, AB two-component dispensing valve, and rotary dispensing valve, etc.

[0004] Common problems when using existing dispensing valves for dispensing are the glue remaining on the needle tip after dispensing and the problem of wire drawing during dispensing. The glue remaining on the needle tip, part of it will drip onto the product or fixture due to gravity, and part of it will cause the glue discharge amount to decrease due to solidification, affecting the product quality, and even clogging the needle tip or needle tube; wire drawing occurs when the needle tip moves. If the wire drawing gets on the adhesive, it will affect the dispensing effect. At the same time, when the glue inside the dispensing valve cannot be used up in time, the glue will solidify, thus affecting the overall working efficiency of the dispenser.

[0044] As Figures 1-5 shown, for the convenience of description, the azimuth references of "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", and "back" in the present invention are based on the Figure 1 azimuth shown;

[0045] A dispensing machine includes a housing 1, a glue inlet valve group 2, and a glue outlet valve 3. A glue storage cavity 101 is provided inside the housing 1. The glue inlet valve group 2 and the glue outlet valve 3 are respectively arranged on the side walls of the housing 1. The glue outlet of the glue inlet valve group 2 and the glue inlet of the glue outlet valve 3 are respectively communicated with the glue storage cavity 101.

[0046] Preferably, the glue outlet of the glue inlet valve group 2 is communicated with the glue inlet of the glue storage cavity 101, the glue inlet of the glue outlet valve 3 is communicated with the glue outlet of the glue storage cavity 101, and the glue inlet of the glue storage cavity 101 is located on the upper side wall of the glue storage cavity 101, and the glue outlet of the glue storage cavity 101 is located on the lower side wall of the glue storage cavity 101. In this way, the glue temporarily stored in the glue storage cavity 101 will enter and exit the glue inlet cavity 101 in an orderly manner according to the principle of first in first out, avoiding the glue that enters the glue storage cavity 101 first from being output from the glue storage cavity 101 later or accumulating in the glue storage cavity 101, resulting in the glue being stored in the glue storage cavity 101 for too long and affecting the quality of the glue;

[0047] The glue outlet valve 3 includes a glue outlet valve body 301, a glue outlet valve piston 302 and a glue outlet valve rod 303. A power cavity 3011, a movable cavity 3012, a glue inlet cavity 3013, a control cavity 3014 and a slide rod cavity 3015 are sequentially arranged in the glue outlet valve body 301 from top to bottom;

[0048] The glue outlet valve piston 302 is arranged in the power cavity 3011. First vent holes 304 are respectively arranged on the side walls of the power cavity 3011 on the upper and lower sides of the glue outlet valve piston 302. The first vent holes 304 are externally connected to an external air source and cooperate with a corresponding reversing valve to control the air inlet and outlet directions of the upper and lower two first vent holes 304, thereby driving the glue outlet valve piston 302 to move up and down in the power cavity 3011;

[0049] The glue outlet valve rod 303 is sequentially provided with a first part 3031, a second part 3032 and a third part 3033;

[0050] The first part 3031 is located in the movable cavity 3012 and is slidably and sealingly connected to the movable cavity 3012;

[0051] A glue passing ring 305 is arranged between the glue inlet cavity 3013 and the control cavity 3014, and a glue passing hole 3051 is arranged on the glue passing ring 305;

[0052] The second part 3032 is located in the glue passing hole 3051, and the outer diameter of the second part 3032 is smaller than the inner diameter of the glue passing hole 3051. In this way, a glue passing gap for allowing glue to pass through is formed between the second part 3032 and the glue passing hole 3051;

[0053] The third part 3033 is located in the slide rod cavity 3015 and is slidably and sealingly connected to the slide rod cavity 3015;

[0054] The upper end of the first part 3031 is connected to the lower end of the glue discharging valve piston 302. Specifically, a threaded hole is provided on the lower end face of the glue discharging valve piston 302, and a thread is provided on the side wall of the upper end of the first part 3031. The upper end of the first part 3031 is screwed into the threaded hole on the lower end face of the glue discharging valve piston 302 to achieve the connection between the two. The glue discharging valve piston 302 drives the glue discharging valve stem 303 to move downward so that the lower end face of the first part 3031 fits against the upper end face of the glue passing ring 305 to seal the glue passing hole 3051.

[0055] The outer diameter of the first part 3031 is smaller than the inner diameter of the glue inlet cavity 3013, and the outer diameter of the third part 3033 is smaller than or equal to the inner diameter of the control cavity 3014 and larger than the outer diameter of the first part 3031.

[0056] The glue inlet of the glue discharging valve 3 is provided on the side wall of the glue inlet cavity 3013 and communicates with the glue inlet cavity 3013. A glue outlet is provided on the side wall of the control cavity 3014 and penetrates through the glue discharging valve body 301. A dispensing tube 4 is connected to the glue outlet.

[0057] In this embodiment, a threaded adjustment hole 306 communicating with the power cavity 3011 is provided on the top wall of the glue discharging valve body 301. An adjustment screw 307 is screwed into the threaded adjustment hole 306, and a fastening nut 308 is screwed onto the adjustment screw 307 above the threaded adjustment hole 306. By controlling the distance that the adjustment screw 307 penetrates into the power cavity 306, the distance of the up and down movement of the glue discharging valve piston 302 is limited. Because the cavity formed by the glue inlet cavity 3013 and the control cavity 3014 decreases in volume occupied by the glue discharging valve stem 303 as the glue discharging valve stem 303 moves downward, and the volume reduction amount is equal to the volume amount that the third part 3033 retracts downward into the slide rod cavity 3015 minus the volume increase amount of the first part 3031 entering the glue inlet cavity 3013. Since this part of the volume change will generate negative pressure in the glue inlet cavity 3013 and the control cavity 3014, this part of the volume will be filled by the backflow of the glue in the dispensing tube 4 communicating with the glue outlet of the glue discharging valve body 301. Therefore, the distance of the up and down movement of the glue discharging valve piston 302 directly determines the magnitude of the negative pressure generated in the glue inlet cavity 3013 and the control cavity 3014 during the downward movement of the glue discharging valve stem 303, thereby controlling the magnitude of the backflow volume of the glue in the dispensing tube 4 communicating with the glue outlet of the glue discharging valve body 301. On the other hand, it can also adjust and control the size of the opening between the lower end face of the first part 3031 and the upper end face of the glue passing ring 305 during the first period of opening and the second period of closing to limit the flow rate and velocity of the glue passing between the lower end face of the first part 3031 and the upper end face of the glue passing ring 305.

[0058] In this embodiment, the glue inlet valve group 2 includes a switching valve 201, a glue inlet valve 202, and a control valve 203. The switching valve 201, the glue inlet valve 202, and the control valve 203 are connected in sequence. The control valve 203 includes a control valve body 2031, a control valve piston 2032, and a control valve stem 2033. An inlet glue channel 20311, an outlet glue channel 20312, a piston channel 20313, and a valve stem channel 20314 are provided inside the control valve body 2031. The inlet glue channel 20311 is located above the outlet glue channel 20312 and communicates with the outlet glue channel 20312. The control valve piston 2032 is arranged in the piston channel 20313, and the control valve stem 2033 is arranged in the valve stem channel 20314. A sealing ring 204 is provided at the connection between the outlet glue channel 20312 and the housing 1. One end of the control valve stem 2033 is connected to the control valve piston 2032. Second air vents 205 are respectively provided on the side walls of the piston channel 20313 on both sides of the control valve piston 2032. The second air vents 205 are externally connected to an external air source, and cooperate with a corresponding reversing valve to control the air inlet and outlet directions of the left and right second air vents 205, thereby driving the control valve piston 2032 to move left and right in the piston channel 20313. Furthermore, the control valve piston 2032 drives the control valve stem 2033 to approach the sealing ring 204 so that its end is inserted into the central hole of the sealing ring 204 to block the outlet glue channel 20312. At the same time, a proximity sensor 206 for detecting the position of the control valve stem 2033 is provided on the end face of the glue inlet valve group 2 away from the housing 1. The proximity sensor 206 transmits its detection signal to a controller that cooperates with the dispensing machine provided by the present invention. The controller can control the air inlet time and air inlet direction of the air source that supplies air to the dispensing machine according to the control program inside it and the detection signals of each sensor, so as to realize the automatic control of the opening and closing action of the control valve 203.

[0059] In this embodiment, the lower end face of the first part 3031 and the edge of the control valve stem 2033 near the sealing ring 204 are respectively subjected to rounding treatment. Tapered counterbores are respectively provided at the upper end of the glue passing hole 3051 and one end of the sealing ring 204 near the control valve stem 2033. Therefore, sealing surfaces are respectively formed between the lower end face of the first part 3031 and the upper end of the glue passing hole 3051, and between one end of the control valve stem 2033 near the sealing ring 204 and one end of the sealing ring 204 near the control valve stem 2033, so as to achieve the sealing between the lower end face of the first part 3031 and the upper end of the glue passing hole 3051, and between one end of the control valve stem 2033 near the sealing ring 204 and one end of the sealing ring 204 near the control valve stem 2033.

[0060] In this embodiment, a first sealing ring 309 is disposed in the movable cavity 3012, and the first sealing ring 309 is sleeved outside the first part 3031 to achieve a sliding sealing connection between the first part 3031 and the movable cavity 3012. A first softening agent hole is provided at a position corresponding to the first sealing ring 309 on the side wall of the movable cavity 3012. The outer end of the first softening agent hole is connected to a first softening agent pipe 310 made of a transparent material. The first sealing ring 309 includes two upper and lower first sealing rings 309, and a gap is provided between the two upper and lower first sealing rings 309. The first softening agent hole communicates with the gap between the two upper and lower first sealing rings 309. The softening agent can be conveniently injected between the first sealing ring 309 and the first part 3031 of the glue discharging valve stem 303 through the first softening agent pipe 310 and the first softening agent hole. Because when the lower end of the first part 3031 reciprocates into and out of the glue inlet cavity 3013, glue is inevitably adhered to its surface. Therefore, injecting the softening agent between the first sealing ring 309 and the first part 3031 of the glue discharging valve stem 303 can not only lubricate between the first sealing ring 309 and the first part 3031 of the glue discharging valve stem 303, but also, by the action of the softening agent, peel off the glue adhered to the first part 3031 of the glue discharging valve stem 303. On the other hand, after the first sealing ring 309 and the first part 3031 of the glue discharging valve stem 303 cooperate with each other for a long time, when the first sealing ring 309 is worn or aged, the gap between the first sealing ring 309 and the first part 3031 of the glue discharging valve stem 303 will become larger. Therefore, the glue adhered to the lower end of the first part 3031 may enter the first softening agent pipe 310 through the first softening agent hole as the first part 3031 moves upward. Because the first softening agent pipe 310 is made of a transparent material, when the user finds traces of glue in the first softening agent pipe 310, it indicates that the gap between the first sealing ring 309 and the first part 3031 of the glue discharging valve stem 303 is too large at this time, and the first sealing ring 309 or the glue discharging valve stem 303 needs to be repaired or replaced, which plays a very good warning role.

[0064] In this embodiment, a heating pipe and a temperature sensor are provided at a position on the side wall of the housing 1 corresponding to the glue storage cavity 101. The heating pipe is designed to heat the glue stored inside the glue storage cavity 101, so as to always ensure good fluidity of the glue, avoid the glue from solidifying in the glue storage cavity 101 and affecting the effect of the entire dispensing operation. Secondly, the temperature sensor detects the temperature of the glue in the glue storage cavity 101 at any time, and the temperature sensor transmits its detection signal to the controller that cooperates with the dispensing machine provided by the present invention. The controller can control the heating duration and the on / off time point of the heating pipe according to the control program inside it and the detection signal of the temperature sensor, avoiding the glue from solidifying due to overheating or overcooling, and realizing the automatic control of the heating action of the heating pipe.

[0065] In this embodiment, pressure sensors 7 for detecting the glue inlet pressure inside the glue storage cavity 101 and the inlet valve 202 are respectively provided on the side walls of the housing 1 and the inlet valve 202. The pressure sensors 7 transmit their detection signals to the controller that cooperates with the dispensing machine provided by the present invention.

[0066] The back suction principle of the present invention is: before the glue outlet valve piston 302 drives the glue outlet valve stem 303 to move downward, the glue inlet valve group 2 has stopped supplying glue, and at the same time, the drive motor 4 also stops injecting the glue in the glue storage cavity 101 into the glue inlet cavity 3013.

[0067] During the process of the glue outlet valve piston 302 driving the glue outlet valve stem 303 to move downward, since the outer diameter of the third part 3033 is less than or equal to the inner diameter of the control cavity 3014 and greater than the outer diameter of the first part 3031, and at the same time, the distance that the third part 3033 retracts from the control cavity 3014 into the slide rod cavity 3015 is equal to the distance that the first part 3031 enters the glue inlet cavity 3013, but the outer diameter of the third part 3033 is greater than the outer diameter of the first part 3031.

[0068] Before the lower end surface of the first part 3031 is not in contact with the upper end surface of the glue-passing ring 305, the glue inlet cavity 3013 and the control cavity 3014 are in communication with each other. Therefore, as the glue outlet valve stem 303 moves downward, the volume of the cavity formed by the glue inlet cavity 3013 and the control cavity 3014 decreases. The amount of volume reduction is equal to the volume of the third part 3033 retracting downward into the sliding rod cavity 3015 minus the increased volume of the first part 3031 entering the glue inlet cavity 3013. Since this change in volume will generate negative pressure in the glue inlet cavity 3013 and the control cavity 3014, the glue in the dispensing tube 4 connected to the glue outlet of the glue outlet valve body 301 will backflow to fill this part of the volume, thereby achieving the back suction effect. Finally, as the glue outlet valve stem 303 moves downward, the lower end surface of the first part 3031 of the glue outlet valve stem 303 is in contact with the upper end surface of the glue-passing ring 305 to seal the glue-passing hole 3051, and the glue inlet of the control cavity 3014 is completely sealed, avoiding the phenomenon of glue dripping or wire drawing in the dispensing tube 4 when dispensing stops.

[0069] Preferably, the dispensing machine provided by the present invention can adjust the number of the housing 1, the glue inlet valve group 2 and the glue outlet valve 3 included in a dispensing machine according to the type of glue composition. For example, for the dispensing operation of AB glue on the market at present, when using the dispensing machine of the present invention for dispensing, two sets of the housing 1, the glue inlet valve group 2 and the glue outlet valve 3 can be set on the same dispensing machine. Finally, the AB glue coming out of the glue outlet of the two glue outlet valves 3 is mixed into a dispensing tube 4 through a pipeline to realize the dispensing operation of AB glue. At the same time, according to the mixing ratio of AB glue, the dispensing speed of A or B glue can be controlled respectively to match the ratio of the components of different mixed glues.
