An annular groove 6 is provided on the outer wall of the cylinder 5 for easy clamping, and counterweight blocks 4 are provided on the four corners of the top of the clamp 3. The counterweight blocks 4 cooperate with the toggle block 1 9 and the toggle block 2 13 to realize the flipping of the clamp 3, so that the clamp 3 can be conveniently turned from horizontal to vertical. When the clamp 3 is in a vertical state, the counterweight block 4 can balance the clamp 3.

The dipping glue mechanism 7 also includes a glue storage box 8 provided below the shell, and the inner wall of the glue storage box 8 A spectral confocal sensor for detecting the glue level in the glue box 8 is installed on the glue box. The spectral confocal sensor can detect the glue height in the glue box 8 and connect it to the processor. At the same time, the processor is connected to the glue inlet valve in the glue inlet. Automation is used to control the glue inlet, so that the glue height is always at a stable height to meet the flocking height requirement of the throat swab head, and to avoid the glue height being too high or too low, which will affect the use of the throat swab. The glue box 8 is provided with a glue inlet, and a glue inlet valve is provided in the glue inlet. A height adjustment mechanism composed of multiple hydraulic devices is provided below the glue box 8, and the telescopic end of the height adjustment mechanism is connected to the bottom of the glue box 8. The clamp 3 is transported to the bottom of the glue dipping mechanism 7. At this time, the motor 3 22 works to drive the main drive disk 23 to rotate. The rotation of the main drive disk 23 drives the turntable 24 and the electric push rod 18 to rotate. Figure 1 The left side of the middle rotates, the electric push rod 18 rotates and drives the pneumatic clamp 21 to the top of the clamp 3. The electric push rod 18 works and contracts to drive the pneumatic clamp 21 to descend to the cylinder 5. After the pneumatic clamp 21 clamps the cylinder 5, the electric push rod 18 extends to drive the clamp 3 to rise, and the motor 3 22 works to drive the electric push rod 18 to reset. The height adjustment mechanism under the glue box 8 lifts the glue box 8, and the electric push rod 18 contracts to drive the clamp 3 to descend, so that the throat swab under the clamp 3 contacts the glue in the glue box 8 to realize the glue dispensing action. After the glue dispensing is completed, the glue box 8 descends, the electric push rod 18 contracts and descends to place the clamp 3 on the conveyor belt 16, and the pneumatic clamp 21 is released. The clamp 3 is transported to the direction of the glue removal mechanism 10 via the conveyor belt 16.

[0025] The glue removal mechanism 10 includes a housing 2, a hydraulic device 11 located on the top of the housing 2, a fixed seat 25 connected to the telescopic end of the bottom of the hydraulic device 11, a motor 4 26 located on the fixed seat 25, and a cylinder clamp mechanism. The telescopic end of the bottom of the hydraulic device 11 longitudinally passes through the housing 2 and is connected to the fixed seat 25. The output shaft of the motor 4 26 is connected to the active disk 27, and the cylinder clamp mechanism includes a support seat 1 28 and a support seat 2 30 located on the fixed seat 25, and a cylinder 29 located on the support seat 1 28. A movable groove is longitudinally opened in the support seat 2 30, and a pneumatic clamp 2 31 is provided in the movable groove. The outer wall of the housing of the pneumatic clamp 2 31 is connected to the movable groove via a bearing, and the telescopic end of the cylinder 29 passes through the movable groove and is connected to the piston 32 of the pneumatic clamp 2 31. A driven disk 33 is also provided on the housing of the pneumatic clamp 2 31, and the driven disk 33 is connected to the active disk 27 via a transmission belt 2. When the clamp 3 enters the de-glueing mechanism 10, the cylinder 5 changes from a vertical state to a horizontal state, and the hydraulic device 11 drives the fixed seat 25 to descend, so that the chuck of the pneumatic clamp 2 31 is located at the cylinder 5, and the cylinder 29 contracts to drive the piston 32 to move upward, so that the chuck of the pneumatic clamp 2 31 is tightened to clamp the cylinder 5. Then, after the hydraulic device 11 drives the cylinder 5 to rise, the motor 4 26 works to drive the pneumatic clamp 2 31 to rotate through the transmission belt 2, so that the cylinder 5 and the clamp 3 rotate. After the excess glue on the throat swab on the clamp 3 is thrown off, the hydraulic device 11 puts down the clamp 3, and the pneumatic clamp 2 31 cancels the clamping of the cylinder 5. The clamp 3 moves to the flocking machine 12 along the conveyor belt 16.

[0026] The drying mechanism 15 includes a shell three, a UV lamp group 34 located on the top of the inner wall of the shell three, and an X-axis workbench 35. A nozzle 37 is provided on the movable end 36 of the X-axis workbench 35, and an air pipe is provided on the nozzle 37. The X-axis workbench 35 includes a base, a motor five 38, a screw 39 and a bearing located in the base, and the output shaft of the motor five 38 is connected to one end of the screw 39, and the other end of the screw 39 is connected to the inner wall of the base through a bearing, and a screw groove is horizontally opened in the movable end 36, and the screw 39 is screwed into the screw groove. After flocking, it is transported by the conveyor belt 16 and enters the drying mechanism 15. The UV lamp group 34 in the drying mechanism 15 bakes and dries the flocked throat swab. Then, the motor five 38 works to drive the screw 39 to rotate, driving the movable end 36 to reciprocate. When the movable end 36 moves, the nozzle 37 blows air to clean the dried throat swab. After cleaning, the swab is discharged from the drying mechanism 15 for packaging.

[0027] A collecting box 14 for collecting the fluff sprayed by the flocking machine 12 is provided below the flocking machine 12 .

[0028] Working principle: After the pharyngeal swab is fixed on the manual operation table 1, the pharyngeal swab is placed on the conveyor belt 16, with the pharyngeal swab on the pharyngeal swab facing downwards. The conveyor belt 16 conveys the pharyngeal swab to the bottom of the glue dipping mechanism 7. At this time, the motor 3 22 works to drive the main drive disk 23 to rotate, and the rotation of the main drive disk 23 drives the turntable 24 and the electric push rod 18 to rotate. Figure 1 When the left side rotates, the electric push rod 18 rotates and drives the pneumatic clamp 21 to the top of the clamp 3. The electric push rod 18 works and contracts to drive the pneumatic clamp 21 to descend to the cylinder 5. After the pneumatic clamp 21 clamps the cylinder 5, the electric push rod 18 extends to drive the clamp 3 to rise, and the motor 3 22 works to drive the electric push rod 18 to reset. The height adjustment mechanism under the glue box 8 lifts the glue box 8, and the electric push rod 18 contracts to drive the clamp 3 to descend, so that the throat swab under the clamp 3 contacts the glue in the glue box 8 to realize the dispensing action. After the dispensing is completed, the glue box 8 descends, the electric push rod 18 contracts and descends to place the clamp 3 on the conveyor belt 16, and the pneumatic clamp 21 is released. The clamp 3 is transported to the glue removal mechanism 10 via the conveyor belt 16. During the transportation process, when the counterweight block 4 on the right side of the clamp 3 passes the toggle block 9, the motor 1 drives the toggle block 9 to rotate, so that the toggle block 9 and the clamp When the clamp 3 enters the de-glueing mechanism 10, the cylinder 5 changes from a vertical state to a horizontal state, and the hydraulic device 11 drives the fixed seat 25 to descend, so that the chuck of the pneumatic clamp 2 31 is located at the cylinder 5, and the cylinder 29 contracts and drives the piston 32 to move upward, so that the chuck of the pneumatic clamp 2 31 is tightened to clamp the cylinder 5. Then, after the hydraulic device 11 drives the cylinder 5 to rise, the motor 4 26 works to drive the pneumatic clamp 2 31 to rotate through the transmission belt 2, so that the cylinder 5 and the clamp 3 rotate. After the excess glue on the throat swab on the clamp 3 is thrown off, the hydraulic device 11 puts down the clamp 3, and the pneumatic clamp 2 31 cancels the clamping of the cylinder 5. The clamp 3 moves to the flocking machine 12 along the conveyor belt 16. During the movement, Figure 1It can be seen that the height of the toggle block 2 13 is obviously higher than the height of the toggle block 1 9, so the motor 2 drives the toggle block 2 13 to rotate, and the toggle block 2 13 contacts the top of the vertical clamp 3 again to flip the vertical clamp 3 to a horizontal state. At this time, the throat swab on the clamp 3 is facing upward and enters the flocking machine 12 for flocking. In this application, assembly line flocking is adopted, and nozzle flocking can also be adopted. The flocking machine is the existing technology in this field. After flocking, it is transported by the conveyor belt 16 and then enters the drying mechanism 15. The UV lamp group 34 in the drying mechanism 15 bakes and dries the flocked throat swab, and then the motor 5 38 works to drive the screw 39 to rotate, driving the mobile end 36 to reciprocate. When the mobile end 36 moves, the nozzle 37 blows air to blow and clean the dried throat swab. After cleaning, it is discharged from the drying mechanism 15 for packaging.
