[0003] The manufacturing process of automotive interior parts often requires a glue spraying process. The existing technology lacks a transfer device specifically designed to transfer automotive interior parts between a storage device and a glue spraying device. Typically, a worker must manually move each automotive interior part from the storage device to a glue spraying station within the glue spraying device before glue spraying.

[0030] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the present invention easier to understand, the following embodiments and accompanying drawings specifically illustrate the transfer device for spraying glue of the present invention.
[0031] <Example>
[0032] Figure 1 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a transfer device for glue spraying in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0033] The transfer device for glue spraying provided by the present invention can transfer the automobile interior parts supported by the tray between the storage device and the glue spraying device of the automobile interior parts. Figure 1 As shown, the transfer device 100 for spraying glue includes a support mechanism 10 , a vertical moving mechanism 20 , two horizontal moving mechanisms 30 and two supporting mechanisms 40 .
[0034] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the support mechanism in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the support mechanism 10 includes a first frame 11. The first frame 11 is rectangular, with its long sides arranged along the vertical direction and its short sides arranged along the first horizontal direction.
[0036] The support mechanism 10 further includes a third slider 13, a third guide rail 14, and a support drive unit 15. The third guide rail 14 is fixed to the ground, and the third slider 13 is adapted to the third guide rail 14. The third slider 13 is disposed at the bottom of the first frame 11 and is slidably connected to the third guide rail 14, so that the first frame 11 can be horizontally moved on the third guide rail 14.
[0037] Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the structure within the middle circle A.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the support drive unit 15 includes a fourth rack 151, a fourth gear 152 and a fourth motor 153. The fourth rack 151 is arranged on the third guide rail 14. The fourth gear 152 is fastened to the motor shaft of the fourth motor 153 and meshes with the fourth rack 151. The fourth motor 153 is installed on the first frame 11, and can drive the fourth gear 152 to rotate, thereby driving the first frame 11 to move along the first horizontal direction. Before the glue spraying process starts, the support drive unit 15 can drive the first frame 11 to move between the corresponding storage device and the glue spraying device and align it with the glue spraying station, without the need for manual push, which is more convenient and labor-saving.
[0039] Figure 4 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the vertical moving mechanism and the first frame in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the vertical movement mechanism 20 includes a second frame 21 and a vertical drive unit 22. The second frame 21 includes two side frames 211, a top frame beam 212, and a bottom frame beam 213. The side frames 211 are hexagonal, formed by combining a trapezoid and a rectangle. The two side frames 211 are spaced apart and arranged opposite each other. The top frame beam 212 is disposed at the top of the two side frames 211, and the bottom frame beam 213 is disposed at the bottom of the two side frames 211. In this embodiment, the second frame 21 is vertically movably disposed on the first frame 11.
[0041] The vertical drive unit 22 is capable of driving the second frame 21 to move vertically. The vertical drive unit 22 includes at least one first rack 221, at least one first gear 222, a commutator 223, a first motor 224, and a rotating shaft 225. In this embodiment, there are two first racks 221 and two first gears 222, each of which is vertically fixed to either side of the first frame 11. The first motor 224 is mounted on the top frame beam 212 of the second frame 21. The output end of the first motor 224 is connected to the rotating shaft 225 via the commutator 223. The rotating shaft 225 is mounted on the second frame 21 via a bearing seat. Two first gears 222 are respectively disposed at either end of the rotating shaft 225 and mesh with the two first racks 221. Driven by the first motor 224, the two first gears 222 rotate synchronously, thereby driving the second frame 21 to move vertically.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the vertical moving mechanism 20 also includes a first guide unit 23. The first guide unit 23 includes a plurality of first sliders 231 and a plurality of first guide rails 232. In this embodiment, the first sliders 231 and the first guide rails 232 are adapted to each other, and there are four of them. The four first guide rails 232 are equally divided into two groups, and the two groups of first guide rails 232 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first frame 11 in the vertical direction, and the two first guide rails 232 in the same group are arranged on the two sides of the first frame 11 opposite to each other. The four first sliders 231 are fixed in pairs on the two side frames 211 on both sides of the second frame 21, and are slidably connected with the four first guide rails 232 in a one-to-one correspondence, which can guide and limit the second frame 21 during the vertical movement of the second frame 21, thereby improving the stability during the movement.
[0043] Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A partial enlarged view of the structure within the middle circle B.
[0044] like Figure 5As shown, the vertical movement mechanism 20 also includes a height limiting unit 24. A vertical strip hole 111 is opened on the first frame 11. The height limiting unit 24 is arranged on the second frame 21, and includes a locking cylinder 241 and a limiting rod 242. The locking cylinder 241 can drive the limiting rod 242 to extend horizontally into the strip hole 111. The limiting rod 242 can abut against the strip hole 111 when the second frame 21 moves, thereby vertically limiting the second frame 21. It can improve the accuracy of the moving position and prevent the second frame 21 from accidentally falling or rising too high and colliding with other structures, thereby improving the safety during the processing.
[0045] The two horizontal moving mechanisms 30 are arranged vertically and parallelly on the second frame, and can drive the supporting mechanism 40 to move along the second horizontal direction.
[0046] Figure 6 It is a structural schematic diagram of the second frame, the third frame, the first-level horizontal drive unit and the first guide support assembly in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, the horizontal movement mechanism 30 includes a third frame 31, a primary horizontal drive unit 32, and a first guide support assembly 35. The third frame 31 is horizontally movably disposed on the second frame 21 via the primary horizontal drive unit 32 and the first guide support assembly 35. The third frame 31 has a hexagonal shape formed by combining a trapezoid and a rectangle, with the lower base of the trapezoid coinciding with the long side of the rectangle.
[0048] Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A partial enlarged view of the structure within the middle circle C.
[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, the primary horizontal drive unit 32 includes a second rack 321, a second gear 322, and a second motor 323. The second rack 321 is mounted on the second frame 21, and the second motor 323 is mounted on the third frame 31. The second gear 322 is connected to the motor shaft of the second motor 323, which is mounted on the third frame 31 via the second motor 323 and meshes with the second rack 321. Driven by the second motor 323, the second gear 322 can rotate, thereby driving the third frame 31 to move along a second horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction.
[0050] The first guide support assembly 35 includes two fourth guide rails 351 and a plurality of fourth sliders 352 adapted to the fourth guide rails 351. The two fourth guide rails 351 are symmetrically arranged on either side of the second frame 21; the plurality of fourth sliders 352 are symmetrically arranged on either side of the third frame 31 and are respectively connected to the two fourth guide rails 351, thereby providing support for the third frame 31 and guiding it during movement.
[0051] Figure 8 It is a structural schematic diagram of the third frame, the secondary horizontal drive unit, the second guide support assembly and the slide in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0052] like Figure 8 As shown, the horizontal movement mechanism 30 further includes a secondary horizontal driving unit 34, a second guide support assembly 33, and a slide 36. The slide 36 is movably disposed on the third frame 31 through the second guide support assembly 33 and the secondary horizontal driving unit 34.
[0053] The second guide support assembly 33 includes at least one second guide rail 331 and a second slider 332 adapted to fit the second guide rail 331. The second guide rail 331 is positioned on the third frame 31 along a second horizontal direction; the second slider 332 is positioned at the bottom of the slide 36 and slidably connected to the second guide rail 331. In this embodiment, there are two second guide rails 331 and two second sliders 332, each corresponding to the other and symmetrically positioned between the slide 36 and the third frame 31. This provides uniform and stable support for the slide 36 and guides it during movement.
[0054] The secondary horizontal drive unit 34 includes a screw assembly 341, a third motor 342, and a pulley transmission assembly 343. The screw assembly 341 includes a screw shaft 3411 and a nut holder 3412. The pulley transmission assembly 343 includes a driving pulley connected to the output shaft of the third motor 342, a driven pulley connected to the screw shaft 3411, and a transmission belt sleeved over the driving and driven pulleys. The screw shaft 3411 is rotatably mounted on the third frame 31 and connected to the third motor 342 via the pulley transmission assembly 343. The nut holder 3412 is mounted on one side of the slide 36 and engages with the screw shaft 3411. The third motor 342 drives the screw shaft 3411 to rotate, thereby driving the nut holder 3412 to move the slide 36 in the second horizontal direction. This secondary movement further expands the telescopic range of the horizontal movement mechanism 30 beyond the primary movement. This allows for a more compact structure and minimizes space occupation while ensuring the pallet is properly moved into position. It also minimizes interference with the glue spraying and storage devices, facilitating smooth processing.
[0055] Figure 9 is a structural schematic diagram of the supporting mechanism when the supporting arm is in the first rotation position in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 10 It is a structural schematic diagram of the supporting mechanism when the supporting arm is in the second rotation position in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0056] The two supporting mechanisms 40 are respectively arranged on the two horizontal moving mechanisms 30 and can support the tray. Figure 9 、 10As shown, each support mechanism 40 includes a support arm 41 and a rotational drive unit 42. One end of the support arm 41 is rotatably mounted on the slide 36, enabling support of the tray from the bottom. In this embodiment, the support arm 41 has an octagonal frame structure, and the maximum width of the support arm 41 is less than the width of the tray.
[0057] Figure 11 Schematic diagram of the structure of the slide plate and the rotation drive unit in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0058] like Figure 11 As shown, the rotation drive unit 42 is mounted on the slide 36 and is capable of driving the support arm to rotate. The rotation drive unit 42 includes a third rack 421, a third gear 422, and a rotation drive cylinder 423. The rotation drive cylinder 423 is mounted on the slide 36 of the horizontal movement mechanism 30. The third rack 421 is mounted on the output end of the rotation drive cylinder 423, and the third gear 422 is mounted on one end of the support arm 41 and meshes with the third rack 421. The rotation drive cylinder 423 drives the third rack 421, causing the third gear 422 to rotate, thereby driving the support arm 41 to rotate horizontally about the end connected to the gear, thereby switching the support arm 41 between a first rotational position and a second rotational position. In the first rotational position, the free end of the support arm 41 faces the storage device; in the second rotational position, the free end of the support arm 41 faces the glue spraying device. In this embodiment, the support arm 41 rotates 180 degrees each time.
[0059] In this embodiment, the second guide support assembly 33 further includes a rotation limit block 334, which is disposed on the slide plate 36 at positions corresponding to the first rotation position and the second rotation position of the support arm 41. The rotation limit block 334 can abut against the side of the support arm 41 to limit the support arm 41.
[0060] Figure 12 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a lifting unit in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0061] like Figure 12As shown, the supporting mechanism 40 also includes at least one lifting unit 43. The lifting unit 43 includes a lifting plate 431 and a lifting cylinder 432. The lifting plate 431 is connected to the lifting cylinder 432 and can support the pallet when lifting. The lifting plate 431 in this embodiment is an L-shaped plate, which can abut against the side of the support plate to limit the position of the pallet, improve the stability during lifting, and avoid displacement of the pallet. The lifting cylinder 432 is provided on the third frame 31, and can drive the lifting plate 431 to rise to lift the pallet on the supporting arm 41. In this embodiment, there are two lifting units 43, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the third frame 31, and can support both sides of the pallet, thereby steadily lifting the pallet and avoiding tilting and shaking. The lifting unit 43 works in conjunction with the supporting mechanism 40 to lift the tray before rotating the supporting arm 41, so that the tray does not have to rotate with the supporting arm 41, avoiding collision between the tray and structures such as the third frame. The space required for the support arm 41 to rotate is smaller, which further expands the range of movement and makes the overall structure more compact.
[0062] During the glue spraying process for automotive interior parts, the glue transfer device 100 can transfer automotive interior parts supported on a tray between a storage device and the glue spraying device. Taking an automotive interior part as an example: before glue spraying, the automotive interior part to be glued needs to be transferred from the storage device to the glue transfer device 100 for transfer (i.e., unloading the part), and then transferred from the glue transfer device 100 to the glue spraying device (i.e., loading the part). After glue spraying is completed, the glued automotive interior part needs to be transferred from the glue spraying device to the glue transfer device 100 for transfer (i.e., unloading the part), and then transferred from the glue transfer device 100 back to the storage device (i.e., placing the part).
[0063] During storage, transfer, and gluing, automotive interior parts are supported by pallets. The storage system consists of multiple layers, each capable of storing a palletized automotive interior part. When in the storage system or gluing system, the pallet is supported from below on both sides, while the center is suspended.
[0064] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 12 , describing the specific process and method of using the transfer device 100 for glue spraying of the present invention to take or unload parts:
[0065] Step S1-1: The vertical drive unit 22 drives the second frame 21 to move vertically, and adjusts one of the supporting mechanisms 40 to a suitable height corresponding to the automotive interior trim part to be taken from the glue spraying device / storage device;
[0066] Step S1-2: The primary horizontal drive unit 32 of the horizontal movement mechanism 30 connected to the supporting mechanism 40 drives the third frame 31 to move horizontally, and the secondary horizontal drive unit 34 drives the slide 36 to move horizontally, so that the supporting arm 41 extends below the tray where the automotive interior parts to be taken are placed;
[0067] Step S1-3: the vertical driving unit 22 drives the second frame 21 to move vertically upward, so that the supporting arm 41 lifts the tray;
[0068] Step S1-4: The primary horizontal drive unit 32 drives the third frame 31 to move horizontally, and the secondary horizontal drive unit 34 drives the slide 36 to move horizontally, so that the supporting arm 41 retracts into the second frame 21 and the tray is moved above the lifting unit 43;
[0069] In step S1-5, the lifting unit 43 lifts the tray on the supporting arm 41 to separate the tray from the supporting arm 41, and then the rotation drive unit 42 drives the supporting arm 41 to rotate 180°, and the lifting unit 43 puts the tray down again to return the tray to the supporting arm 41.
[0070] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 12 , describing the specific process and method of loading or placing parts using the transfer device 100 for glue spraying of the present invention:
[0071] Step S2-1: The vertical drive unit 22 drives the second frame 21 to move vertically, and adjusts the supporting mechanism 40 with the tray to a height corresponding to the target placement position on the glue spraying device / storage device;
[0072] Step S2-2: The primary horizontal driving unit 32 drives the third frame 31 to move horizontally, and the secondary horizontal driving unit 34 drives the slide 36 to move horizontally, so that the supporting arm 41 extends into the glue spraying device / storage device;
[0073] Step S2-3: The vertical drive unit 22 drives the second frame 21 to move vertically downward, the supporting arm 41 moves downward, and both sides of the tray are supported by the glue spraying device / storage device, and the supporting arm 41 is separated from the tray;
[0074] In step S2 - 4 , the primary horizontal driving unit 32 drives the third frame 31 to move horizontally, and the secondary horizontal driving unit 34 drives the slide plate 36 to move horizontally, so that the supporting arm 41 retracts into the second frame 21 .
[0075] When multiple automotive interior parts need to be glued one by one, the glue transfer device 100 of the present invention comprises two horizontal moving mechanisms 30 and two supporting mechanisms 40. Therefore, after one automotive interior part is glued, it can be first transferred to one of the supporting mechanisms 40 (unloading), and then the other supporting mechanism 40 can place the next automotive interior part on the glue spraying station of the glue spraying device (loading). While the glue spraying device is glueing the automotive interior part at the glue spraying station, the glue transfer device 100 places the previously glued automotive interior part back into the storage device (placing), and then one of the supporting mechanisms 40 can be used to retrieve the next automotive interior part from the storage device (retrieving), and the cycle continues. Therefore, the glue transfer device 100 of the present invention not only replaces manual labor in transferring automotive interior parts supported by a tray between the storage device and the glue spraying device, but also effectively saves time in placing and retrieving parts, reduces waiting time for the glue spraying device, shortens glue spraying intervals, improves processing efficiency, and saves time and effort.
[0076] Functions and Effects of the Embodiments
[0077] According to the transfer device for glue spraying provided by the present invention, the support mechanism includes a first frame; the vertical moving mechanism includes a vertical driving unit and a second frame vertically movably arranged on the first frame; two horizontal moving mechanisms are arranged in parallel on the second frame; and two supporting mechanisms are respectively arranged on the two horizontal moving mechanisms, which can support the pallet, wherein the horizontal moving mechanism can drive the supporting mechanism to move horizontally, and the vertical driving unit can drive the second frame to move vertically, thereby driving the supporting mechanism to move up and down. Therefore, the transfer device for glue spraying provided by the present invention can transfer automobile interior parts supported by pallets between the automobile interior parts storage device and the glue spraying device, instead of manual handling, which can effectively save manpower and improve production efficiency.
[0078] The support mechanism also includes a third slider, a third guide rail, and a support drive unit, so that the first frame can be horizontally slidably set on the third guide rail. The support drive unit can drive the first frame to move along the first horizontal direction to the corresponding storage device and the glue spraying device and align it with the glue spraying station without the need for manual push, which is more convenient and labor-saving. The vertical moving mechanism and the horizontal moving mechanism can move the pallet in the vertical direction and the second horizontal direction respectively. The three-axis movement method allows the glue spraying transfer device to have a wider range of movement, so that the car interior parts can be smoothly transferred into place. The horizontal moving mechanism can be extended and retracted in two stages, making the overall structure more compact and taking up less space. The support arm can rotate around one end of itself, and the space required for rotation is relatively small, which further expands the range of movement and makes the overall structure more compact.
[0079] The two supporting mechanisms are respectively arranged on the two horizontal moving mechanisms, which can support the trays respectively, realizing one backup and one use, reducing the time wasted in taking and placing parts, shortening the time interval of spraying glue, and improving processing efficiency.
[0080] In summary, the transfer device for glue spraying of the present invention can not only replace manual labor in transferring automobile interior parts supported by a pallet between a storage device and a glue spraying device, but also effectively save the time for taking and placing parts, reduce the waiting time of the glue spraying device, shorten the glue spraying interval, improve processing efficiency, save time and labor, have strong practicality, and have high promotion and application value.
[0081] The above embodiments are preferred examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
