However, although this method can improve the general performance of the equipment to a certain extent, the functional heads are usually fixedly connected to the automated equipment through multiple fasteners such as screws, and since many functional heads are internally provided with pneumatic components, during the disassembly and assembly process of the functional heads, not only multiple screws need to be disassembled and assembled, but also the pipeline connection between the original functional head and the automated equipment needs to be disconnected, and then the pipeline between the new functional head and the automated equipment needs to be reconnected. Therefore, the process is cumbersome and affects the production efficiency to a certain extent. Summary of the Invention

Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0038] The following refers to the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 8 to describe the function head connection structure of the first aspect embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the functional head connection structure of some embodiments of the present invention includes a functional head and a second interface module 200; the functional head is provided with a functional module 300 and a first interface module 100, wherein the functional module 300 is used for operations such as glue application, dispensing, or clamping, and there are air-using components inside the functional module 300; the second interface module 200 can be arranged on an automated device and is used for installing the functional head.

[0040] It can be understood that, referring to Figure 3 , the first interface module 100 is provided with a first air path interface 120 and a connecting column 130, wherein the first air path interface 120 communicates with the air-using components in the functional module 300 and is used for supplying air to the air-using components, and the connecting column 130 is used for mechanical fixation with the second interface module 200, and a positioning groove 131 is arranged on the side surface of the connecting column 130.

[0041] It can be understood that, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the second interface module 200 includes a second connecting block 210, a locking member 230, and a second air path interface 240. Among them, the second air path interface 240 is used for communicating with the air source on the automated device, so as to supply air to the functional head installed on the second interface module 200; specifically, the second air path interface 240 is arranged on the second connecting block 210, is opposite to the first air path interface 120, and can be inserted and matched with the first air path interface 120, so as to supply the compressed gas in the air source to the functional head after being inserted into the first air path interface 120; a connecting hole 211 matching with the connecting column 130 is arranged on the second connecting block 210, so as to realize the plug-in connection of the mechanical structure between the functional head and the second interface module 200 by means of the cooperation of the connecting hole 211 and the connecting column 130; at the same time, specifically, to realize the connection and locking between the functional head and the second interface module 200, a pin hole 212 communicating with the positioning groove 131 is arranged on the side wall of the connecting hole 211, the locking member 230 is movably arranged in the pin hole 212, and can move between a locking position and a releasing position; and when the locking member 230 is in the locking position, the locking member 230 is partially located in the positioning groove 131, and further, the relative rotation between the connecting column 130 and the second connecting block 210, and the movement of the connecting column 130 and the second connecting block 210 in the axial direction of the connecting column 130 can be restricted by the locking member 230 partially located in the pin hole 212 and partially located in the positioning groove 131; and when the locking member 230 is in the releasing position, the locking member 230 disengages from the positioning groove 131, and further, the connecting column 130 can be pulled out from the connecting hole 211.

[0042] Therefore, through the functional head connection structure of this embodiment, during the installation of the functional head, the connection post 130 on the functional head is inserted into the connection hole 211 of the second interface module 200, so that the first gas path interface 120 and the second gas path interface 240 can be inserted into each other, thereby realizing the connection between the functional head and the gas source on the automation device. Then, the locking member 230 is moved to the locking position, that is, the locking member 230 is partially located in the pin hole 212 and partially located in the positioning groove 131, so that the connection post 130 is locked and fixed in the connection hole 211, that is, the functional head is fixed on the second interface module 200. When disassembling the functional head, only need to move the locking member 230 to the release position, that is, the locking member 230 moves to the position where it disengages from the positioning groove 131, and then the functional head can be pulled to make the connection post 130 disengage from the connection hole 211, and the first gas path interface 120 and the second gas path interface 240 are also disconnected from each other, that is, the mechanical connection and the gas path connection between the functional head and the second interface module 200 are simultaneously released. In summary, the functional head connection structure of this embodiment can realize the quick disassembly and replacement of the functional head, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0043] To enable the locking member 230 to remain in the locking position, so as to realize the continuous connection and locking between the functional head and the second interface module 200, refer to Figures 4 to 6 , in some embodiments, the second interface module 200 further includes a rotating shaft 220. The rotating shaft 220 is provided with a cam section 221 and is rotatably arranged on the second connection block 210. The circumferential distribution of the cam section 221 has a protrusion 222 and a recess 223. The distance from the surface of the protrusion 222 to the rotation axis of the rotating shaft 220 is greater than the distance from the surface of the recess 223 to the rotation axis of the rotating shaft 220. At the same time, specifically, one end of the pin hole 212 extends to one side of the cam section 221, and by rotating the rotating shaft 220, the protrusion 222 or the recess 223 can be made to face the pin hole 212. When the protrusion 222 is in the position facing the pin hole 212, the locking member 230 can be limited to the locking position, thereby realizing the continuous connection and locking between the functional head and the second interface module 200. When the recess 223 is in the position facing the pin hole 212, the locking member 230 can slide to the release position, so that the connection post 130 can be pulled out of the connection hole 211 at this time, that is, the mechanical connection between the functional head and the second interface module 200 can be released.

[0044] Therefore, when adopting the functional head connection structure of the above embodiment, first keep the rotating shaft 220 at the position where the concave portion 223 faces the pin hole 212, then insert the connecting column 130 on the functional head into the connecting hole 211 of the second interface module 200, and then rotate the rotating shaft 220 so that the rotating shaft 220 is at the position where the convex portion 222 faces the pin hole 212, and the locking member 230 can be limited to the locking position, that is, the locking member 230 can be kept at the position where part of it is located in the pin hole 212 and part of it is located in the positioning groove 131; when disassembling the functional head, only rotate the rotating shaft 220 so that the rotating shaft 220 is at the position where the concave portion 223 faces the pin hole 212. At this time, since the locking member 230 can move within the pin hole 212 to move to the release position, that is, the locking member 230 can move to a position disengaged from the positioning groove 131, the functional head can be pulled to disengage the connecting column 130 from the connecting hole 211.

[0045] It should be understood that the locking member 230 can slide to the release position under the driving force of the pushing force from the connecting column 130, or the gravity, or the elastic force from the elastic reset member, etc.

[0046] For example, in some embodiments, the pin hole 212 can be arranged in the vertical direction, and the positioning groove 131 is located above the pin hole 212. Then, when the rotating shaft 220 rotates to the position where the concave portion 223 faces the pin hole 212, the locking member 230 can slide downward to the release position under its own gravity.

[0047] Again, for example, in some other embodiments, an elastic reset member such as a compression spring is arranged on the bottom of the positioning groove 131, and one end of the elastic reset member abuts against the locking member 230. Thus, when the rotating shaft 220 rotates to the position where the concave portion 223 faces the pin hole 212, the locking member 230 can slide to the release position under the pushing force of the elastic force of the elastic reset member.

[0048] Or, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 , the locking member 230 is a pin bead, and the positioning groove 131 is a spherical surface groove that cooperates with the pin bead. Thus, when the rotating shaft 220 rotates to the position where the concave portion 223 faces the pin hole 212, by pulling the functional head in the direction away from the second connecting block 210, the groove wall of the spherical surface groove on the connecting column 130 can give a thrust to the pin bead, so that the pin bead can slide along the pin hole 212 to disengage from the spherical surface groove, that is, slide to the release position. Then, by continuing to pull the functional head, the connecting column 130 can be disengaged from the connecting hole 211.

[0049] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 5, on the basis that the locking member 230 is a pin bead and the positioning groove 131 is a spherical groove that cooperates with the pin bead, when the length of the pin hole 212 is relatively long, the second interface module 200 further includes a filling member 251 and a ball 252. Both the filling member 251 and the ball 252 are disposed in the pin hole 212, and the filling member 251 is disposed between the ball 252 and the pin bead. The ball 252 is used to abut against the protrusion 222, and the ball 252 can reduce the frictional force received by the protrusion 222 during the rotation of the rotating shaft 220, thereby improving the service life. It can be understood that in some embodiments, the filling member 251 can be selected to be made of materials such as rubber or silica gel with certain elastic deformation ability to further reduce the friction between the rotating shaft 220 and the protrusion 222 during rotation.

[0050] It should be understood that when the rotating shaft 220 is relatively close to the spherical groove, that is, when the pin hole 212 is relatively short, the rotating shaft 220 can also directly abut against the pin bead through the protrusion 222 to limit the pin bead in the locked position.

[0051] It can be understood that in order to enable the rotating shaft 220 to be stably held in the position where the protrusion 222 faces the pin hole 212 or stably held in the position where the recess 223 faces the pin hole 212 according to the disassembly and assembly requirements. In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 to 6 , the rotating shaft 220 is provided with a limiting member 224 and is slidably disposed through the second connecting block 210 along the axial direction; the second connecting block 210 is provided with a first limiting groove 213 and a second limiting groove 214 for cooperating with the limiting member 224. The first limiting groove 213 and the second limiting groove 214 are arranged at a certain angle interval in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 220; and when the limiting member 224 is in the state of being located in the first limiting groove 213, the protrusion 222 faces the pin hole 212; when the limiting member 224 is in the state of being located in the second limiting groove 214, the recess 223 faces the pin hole 212.

[0052] On the basis of the above embodiments, in order to prevent the rotating shaft 220 from axially moving under the influence of the vibration generated during the operation of the automated equipment, and further prevent the limiting member 224 from disengaging from the first limiting groove 213 or the second limiting groove 214 due to the influence of vibration. Referring to Figure 5The second interface module 200 includes a first elastic member 260, and a contact structure is provided on the side of the rotating shaft 220 away from the limiting member 224. The first elastic member 260 is arranged between the contact structure and the second connecting block 210, and the first elastic member 260 is used to provide an elastic force to keep the limiting member 224 in the first limiting groove 213 or the second limiting groove 214; when the rotating shaft 220 needs to be rotated, the rotating shaft 220 can be pulled along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 220 first to deform the first elastic member 260, and when the limiting member 224 escapes from one of the first limiting groove 213 or the second limiting groove 214, the rotating shaft 220 is rotated again to align the limiting member 224 with the other limiting groove of the first limiting groove 213 or the second limiting groove 214, and finally, driven by the elastic force of the first elastic member 260, the rotating shaft 220 is reset along the axial direction, so that the limiting member 224 automatically enters the aligned limiting groove.

[0053] And, in one embodiment, specifically, referring to Figure 5 A three-section stepped hole 215 is formed on the second connecting block 210, and the stepped hole 215 includes a first hole section, a second hole section and a third hole section connected in sequence, wherein the diameter of the second hole section is smaller than the diameters of the first hole section and the third hole section, and a rotating sleeve 270 is provided at one end of the first hole section and the third hole section close to the second hole section, and the rotating shaft 220 passes through the stepped hole 215 and the rotating sleeve 270, and the cam section 221 of the rotating shaft 220 is located in the second hole section, and the first limiting groove 213 and the second limiting groove 214 are provided at the orifice of the third hole section, and the abutment structure is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 220 close to the first hole section, and the first elastic member 260 is a compression spring, and the two ends abut the rotating sleeve 270 and the abutment structure respectively. It can be understood that, referring to Figure 5 In this embodiment, in order to avoid the compression spring being exposed and affecting the appearance, the abutment structure includes a card 282 and a shielding sleeve 281. The card 282 is clamped on one end of the rotating shaft 220, and the shielding sleeve 281 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 220 and is located between the card 282 and the rotating sleeve 270. The end of the compression spring facing away from the rotating sleeve 270 is accommodated in the shielding sleeve 281.

[0054] It is understandable that in order to achieve pre-positioning together with the connecting hole 211 and the connecting column 130 when the functional head is installed, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first interface module 100 is provided with a first positioning structure 112, and the second connection block 210 is provided with a second positioning structure 216 that cooperates with the first positioning structure 112, so as to avoid the problem that the positioning groove 131 and the pin hole 212 are misaligned after the connection column 130 penetrates into the connection hole 211. In one embodiment, specifically, the first positioning structure 112 is a positioning column, and the second positioning structure 216 is a positioning hole.

[0055] It can be understood that, to avoid wasting the gas source, when the functional head is removed from the second interface module 200, the second gas path interface 240 needs to remain closed. In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , the second gas path interface 240 includes an elastic air nozzle 241. The elastic air nozzle 241 is arranged on the second connection block 210. A valve core 242 and a second elastic member (not shown in the drawings) are arranged inside the elastic air nozzle 241. The second elastic member is connected to the valve core 242, and the valve core 242 can be maintained at a position blocking the elastic air nozzle 241 under the elastic force of the second elastic member. At the same time, referring to Figure 3 , the first gas path interface 120 includes an intake column 121, and air holes 122 are arranged on the intake column 121; the intake column 121 can be inserted into the inside of the elastic air nozzle 241 and abut against and push the valve core 242 to open the elastic air nozzle 241. Thus, when the functional head is removed from the second interface module 200, as the intake column 121 is pulled out of the elastic air nozzle 241 and separated from the valve core 242, at this time, the valve core 242 will be able to move under the elastic force of the second elastic member, so that the second gas path interface 240 remains in a blocked and closed state; and when the functional head is installed on the second interface module 200, as the intake column 121 is inserted into the elastic air nozzle 241 and pushes the valve core 242, the valve core 242 can be moved to automatically open the air nozzle, and then compressed air can be supplied to the air-using components in the functional head through the air holes 122.
