Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of glue transmission, in particular to a pressure plate type glue supply device. Background Art

[0002] Glue dispensing machines, also known as glue coating machines, glue dripping machines, glue spraying machines, and glue filling machines, are automated machines specifically designed to control and apply fluids to the surface or interior of products. They are primarily used to precisely dispense, inject, apply, and drip glue and other liquids to precise locations on each product during production processes. With the advancement of lightweight and miniaturized electronic technology, gluing has replaced mechanical connections in electronic products, leading to widespread use of glue dispensing equipment. Research on dispensing and glue supply equipment focuses on dispensing equipment, which ensures dispensing accuracy, while glue supply equipment ensures a continuous supply of glue.

[0003] During glue fluid transfer, fluid viscosity is closely linked to fluid transfer operations. Low-viscosity fluids are easily transferred, often stored in a tank and pumped directly from the barrel to the metering unit using a pneumatic diaphragm pump or electric pump. High-viscosity fluids are difficult to transfer using diaphragm pumps or electric pumps.

[0004] In the prior art, for fluids with high viscosity, a pressure plate that continuously presses down is generally set on the surface of the glue. The glue is then transferred to the glue injection device through a feed pipe by the pressure of the pressure plate. However, due to the high viscosity of the glue surface in the glue barrel, the pressure plate does not completely fit the glue surface, resulting in some gas being trapped when the pressure plate presses on the glue, causing bubbles to be mixed into the glue and affecting the quality of the glue. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a pressure plate type glue supply device, which can ensure that the gas in the barrel is discharged evenly and timely before the glue is output to the outside, thereby avoiding bubbles mixed in during the glue discharge process and affecting the quality of the subsequent glue use.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts a technical solution: a pressure plate type glue supply device, comprising: a carrier plate for placing a glue barrel and a glue supply pump installed above the carrier plate, characterized in that: a suction cup body is sealedly connected below the glue inlet end of the glue supply pump, at least two lifting cylinders are provided on the upper surface of the carrier plate and outside the glue supply pump, the movable end of each lifting cylinder is connected to the same movable bracket, and the movable bracket that can move up and down is connected to the glue supply pump;

[0007] The outer side surface of the lower portion of the suction cup body, which can move downward in the glue barrel, has an interference fit with the inner wall of the glue barrel. A through hole is provided in the middle of the suction cup body, which passes through the through hole and allows the fluid in the glue barrel to pass through. The upper surface of the suction cup body is provided with an annular protrusion located above the through hole. The upper end of the annular protrusion is used to be sealed with the glue supply pump.

[0008] A cavity is formed in the suction cup body and located outside the circumferential direction of the through hole. A plurality of air intake holes communicating with the cavity are spaced apart on the lower surface of the suction cup body. A plurality of air intake holes spaced apart along the circumferential direction are formed on the inner side of the upper surface of the annular protrusion. The lower ends of the air intake holes communicate with the cavity in the suction cup body. A notched air groove communicating with the air intake holes is correspondingly provided on the inner wall of the annular protrusion. A vacuum generating assembly mounted on the upper surface of the suction cup body communicates with the cavity.

[0009] Several reinforcing ribs are arranged in the cavity to isolate the cavity into several sub-cavities. Each of the reinforcing ribs is provided with at least one air vent connecting adjacent sub-cavities. The sub-cavity formed between two adjacent reinforcing ribs is a fan-shaped sub-cavity, and the evenly distributed air inlet holes are all located in the area below the sub-cavity.

[0010] The further improved scheme in the above technical scheme is as follows:

[0011] 1. In the above solution, the upper surface of the annular protrusion is located outside the air inlet hole and has an annular groove with a built-in sealing ring along the entire circumference.

[0012] 2. In the above solution, the sealing ring is sealed and connected to the glue inlet of the glue supply pump.

[0013] 3. In the above solution, one end of the reinforcing rib extending radially of the body is close to the through hole, and the other end extends to the edge of the body.

[0014] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0015] 1. A pressure plate type glue supply device according to the present invention, wherein the upper end of the annular protrusion on the upper surface of the suction cup body and located on the through hole is used to be sealed and connected to the glue supply pump, a cavity is formed in the suction cup body and on the circumferential outer side of the through hole, a plurality of air intake holes connected to the cavity are spaced apart on the lower surface of the suction cup body, a plurality of air intake holes arranged at circumferential intervals are opened on the inner side of the upper surface of the annular protrusion, the lower end of the air intake hole is connected to the cavity in the suction cup body, and a notched air groove connected to the air intake hole is correspondingly arranged on the inner wall of the annular protrusion. When the body moves downward in the glue barrel, the high-viscosity fluid is directly discharged from the packaging barrel at a relatively constant speed, and the gas in the barrel can be discharged at the same time, and the situation that the glue blocks the exhaust channel before the gas is exhausted can be effectively avoided, thereby ensuring that the gas in the barrel is evenly and timely discharged before the glue is discharged outward, and avoiding bubbles mixed in during the glue discharge process and affecting the quality of the glue during subsequent use.

[0016] 2. The pressure plate type glue supply device of the present invention has an air inlet channel that connects the portion located in the upper cavity and below the flange portion with the outside world. When air is injected into the upper cavity through the air inlet channel, the valve needle moves upward to open the air outlet hole. The lower end of the valve needle located in the upper cavity passes through the lower cavity and forms an air outlet channel between the inner wall of the lower cavity. The lower end of the air outlet channel is connected to the air outlet hole through a connecting pipe, and the upper end of the air outlet channel is connected to an air outlet nozzle installed on the lower cavity. A valve is provided between the upper surface of the flange portion located at the upper end of the valve needle and the upper wall of the upper cavity. There is a spring, and the lower end of the valve needle under the action of the spring in the squeezed state blocks the air outlet. Through the downward movement of the main body in the glue barrel, the high-viscosity fluid can be directly discharged from the packaging barrel at a relatively constant speed, and most of the gas generated in the process can be discharged in time and evenly. The air outlet can also be tightly sealed in the non-exhaust state to prevent the gas outside the barrel from reversely entering and generating bubbles, which is convenient for the use of glue after output and reduces the generation of bubbles in the glue that causes glue supply to be faulty.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this patent in specific circumstances.

[0025] Example 1: A pressure plate type glue supply device, used in the field of heat dissipation of automotive electronic controllers, comprising: a carrier plate 1 for placing a glue barrel and a glue supply pump 2 installed above the carrier plate 1, wherein a suction cup body 5 is sealedly connected to the lower side of the glue inlet end of the glue supply pump 2;

[0026] At least two lifting cylinders 3 are provided on the upper surface of the carrier plate 1 and outside the glue supply pump 2. The movable end of each lifting cylinder 3 is connected to the same movable bracket 4. The movable bracket 4 is movable up and down and is connected to the glue supply pump 2.

[0027] The outer side surface of the lower portion of the suction cup body 5, which can move downward in the glue barrel, has an interference fit with the inner wall of the glue barrel. A through hole 7 is formed in the middle of the suction cup body 5, which passes through the through hole 7. An annular protrusion 9 is formed on the upper surface of the suction cup body 5 and located above the through hole 7. The upper end of the annular protrusion 9 is used to be sealed with the glue supply pump 2.

[0028] A cavity 8 is formed in the suction cup body 5 and on the circumferential outer side of the through hole 7. A plurality of air inlet holes 12 communicating with the cavity 8 are formed at intervals on the lower surface of the suction cup body 5. A plurality of air inlet holes 10 spaced apart along the circumference are formed on the inner side of the upper surface of the annular raised portion 9. The lower ends of the air inlet holes 10 communicate with the cavity 8 in the suction cup body 5.

[0029] A notched air groove 11 communicating with the air inlet hole 10 is correspondingly provided on the inner wall of the annular protrusion 9 , and a vacuum generating assembly 6 installed on the upper surface of the suction cup body 5 is connected to the cavity 8 for extracting the gas in the cavity 4 .

[0030] The driving body continues to move downward until it contacts the liquid surface. During this process, the gas between the lower surface of the body and the liquid surface overflows into the area surrounded by the annular protrusion, and enters the cavity through the notched air groove and the air inlet hole in turn, and is then discharged outward through the action of the vacuum generating assembly.

[0031] The vacuum generating assembly 6 further includes a valve body 14 and a valve needle 16. The upper surface of the suction cup body 5 is provided with at least one air outlet 13 connected to the cavity 8.

The lower end of the air outlet channel 143 is connected to the air outlet hole 13 through a connecting pipe 17, and the upper end of the air outlet channel 143 is connected to an air outlet nozzle 18 installed on the lower cavity 142.

[0033] The upper end of the above-mentioned valve needle 16 has a radially outward flange portion 161, and a spring 19 is arranged between the upper surface of the flange portion 161 and the upper wall of the upper cavity 141.

When air is injected into the upper cavity 141 through the air intake channel 20, the above-mentioned valve needle 16 moves upward to open the air outlet 13.

[0034] By moving the main body downward in the glue barrel, high-viscosity fluid can be directly discharged from the packaging barrel at a relatively constant speed, and most of the gas generated in the process can be discharged promptly and evenly. The air outlet can also be tightly sealed in the non-exhaust state to prevent the gas outside the barrel from entering in reverse, which facilitates the use of glue after output and reduces the generation of bubbles in the glue that may cause a gap in the glue supply.

[0035] The air outlet nozzle 18 is connected to a vacuum generator.

[0036] An annular groove 22 with a built-in sealing ring 21 is formed on the upper surface of the annular protrusion 9 and is located outside the air inlet hole 10 along the entire circumference.

[0043] The outer side surface of the lower portion of the suction cup body 5, which can move downward in the glue barrel, has an interference fit with the inner wall of the glue barrel. A through hole 7 is formed in the middle of the suction cup body 5, which passes through the through hole 7. An annular protrusion 9 is formed on the upper surface of the suction cup body 5 and located above the through hole 7. The upper end of the annular protrusion 9 is used to be sealed with the glue supply pump 2.

[0044] A cavity 8 is formed inside the suction cup body 5 and located on the circumferential outside of the through hole 7. A plurality of air intake holes 12 connected to the cavity 8 are provided at intervals on the lower surface of the suction cup body 5.

The lower end of the air intake hole 10 is connected to the cavity 8 in the suction cup body 5. A notch air groove 11 connected to the air intake hole 10 is correspondingly provided on the inner wall of the annular raised portion 9. A vacuum generating assembly 6 installed on the upper surface of the suction cup body 5 is connected to the cavity 8 for extracting the gas in the cavity 4.

[0045] While achieving the direct discharge of high-viscosity fluids from the packaging barrel at a relatively constant speed, the gas in the barrel can be discharged, and the situation in which the glue blocks the exhaust channel before the gas is completely discharged can be effectively avoided, thereby ensuring that the gas in the barrel is completely discharged evenly and in a timely manner before the glue is discharged, and avoiding bubbles mixed in during the glue discharge process and affecting the quality of the glue during subsequent use.

[0046] The vacuum generating assembly 6 further includes a valve body 14 and a valve needle 16. The upper surface of the suction cup body 5 is provided with at least one air outlet 13 connected to the cavity 8. The valve body 14 with an upper cavity 141 and a lower cavity 142 is mounted directly above the air outlet 13 via a bracket 15.

[0047] The lower end of the valve needle 16, whose upper end is located in the upper cavity 141, passes through the lower cavity 142 and forms an air outlet channel 143 with the inner wall of the lower cavity 142. The lower end of the air outlet channel 143 is connected to the air outlet hole 13 through a connecting pipe 17, and the upper end of the air outlet channel 143 is connected to an air outlet nozzle 18 installed on the lower cavity 142.

[0048] The upper end of the valve needle 16 has a flange portion 161 extending radially outward, and a spring 19 is disposed between the upper surface of the flange portion 161 and the upper wall of the upper cavity 141.

[0049] The lower end of the valve needle 16 under the action of the spring 19 in the squeezed state blocks the above-mentioned air outlet 13, and an air intake channel 20 connected to the bottom of the flange part 161 is opened on the above-mentioned upper cavity 141. When air is injected into the upper cavity 141 through the air intake channel 20, the above-mentioned valve needle 16 moves upward to open the air outlet 13.

[0050] Air is ventilated to the area below the flange on the valve needle in the upper cavity through the air inlet channel, driving the flange to move the valve needle upward as a whole, opening the air outlet channel between the air outlet nozzle and the air outlet hole. At the same time, the vacuum generator connected to the air outlet nozzle works to discharge the gas in the barrel to the outside.

[0051] The air outlet nozzle 18 is connected to a vacuum generator.

[0052] The notched air groove 11 is located at the top of the annular raised portion 9 .

[0053] A plurality of reinforcing ribs 23 are provided in the cavity 8 , thereby isolating the cavity 8 into a plurality of sub-cavities 81 . Each of the reinforcing ribs 23 is provided with at least one vent hole 231 communicating with adjacent sub-cavities 81 .

[0054] One end of the reinforcing rib 23 extending in the radial direction of the main body 1 is close to the through hole 7 , and the other end extends to the edge of the main body 1 .

[0055] At least two positioning pins 24 for cooperating with the glue barrel are installed on the carrier plate 1 .

[0056] The fixed ends of adjacent lifting cylinders 3 are connected by a transverse plate 25 .

[0057] The sub-cavity 81 formed between two adjacent reinforcing ribs 23 is a fan-shaped sub-cavity.

[0058] The three lifting cylinders 3 are arranged in an equilateral triangle shape.

[0059] Applicable glue: one-component or two-component, high-filler, high-viscosity glue;

[0060] Applicable glue barrel packaging: 5 gallons.

[0061] Working principle: Place the incoming glue barrel just below the main body, and move the main body down into the barrel so that it has an interference fit with the inner wall of the barrel, thus forming a relatively closed area between the lower surface of the main body and the liquid level in the barrel;

[0062] The driving body continues to move downward until it contacts the liquid surface. During this process, the gas between the lower surface of the body and the liquid surface overflows into the area surrounded by the annular protrusion, and enters the cavity through the notched air groove and the air inlet through hole in sequence, and is then discharged outward through the action of the vacuum generating assembly;

[0063] The driving body continues to move downward until it reaches the bottom of the barrel. During this process, first, the gas in the area surrounded by the annular raised portion enters the cavity through the notched air groove and the air inlet hole under the action of the liquid surface pressure, and is ventilated to the area below the flange on the valve needle in the upper cavity through the air inlet channel. The driving flange drives the valve needle to move upward as a whole, opening the air outlet channel between the air outlet nozzle and the air outlet hole. At the same time, the vacuum generator connected to the air outlet nozzle works to discharge the gas in the barrel to the outside.

[0064] The driving body continues to move downward until it contacts the liquid surface. During this process, the gas in the barrel enters the cavity upward through the air inlet holes on the lower surface of the body, and is then discharged outward through the action of the vacuum generator;

[0065] Afterwards, under the action of pressure, the fluid in the barrel continuously enters the glue supply pump through the area surrounded by the through hole on the main body and the annular protrusion, so that the incoming high-viscosity glue (two-component or single-component glue, high-filler or high-viscosity glue) can be directly and stably discharged outward from the packaging barrel (usually a 5-gallon barrel) at a certain flow rate and completely avoid bubbles from mixing into the glue.

[0066] The above-mentioned pressure plate type glue supply device is adopted, and the upper end of the annular protrusion on the upper surface of the suction cup body and located on the through hole is used to be sealed and connected to the glue supply pump, and a cavity is formed in the suction cup body and on the outer side of the circumference of the through hole, and a plurality of air intake holes connected to the cavity are spaced apart on the lower surface of the suction cup body, and a plurality of air intake holes arranged along the circumference are opened on the inner side of the upper surface of the annular protrusion. The lower end of the air intake hole is connected to the cavity in the suction cup body, and a notched air groove connected to the air intake hole is correspondingly arranged on the inner wall of the annular protrusion. By moving the body downward in the glue barrel, the high-viscosity fluid is directly discharged from the packaging barrel at a relatively constant speed, and the gas in the barrel can be discharged at the same time, and the glue can effectively avoid blocking the exhaust channel before the gas is exhausted, thereby ensuring that the gas in the barrel is evenly and timely discharged before the glue is discharged to the outside, and avoiding bubbles mixed in during the glue discharge process and affecting the quality of the glue during subsequent use;

[0067] The cam is secured to the bottom of the valve body and is secured to the airtight seal of the valve body with respect to the air intake pipe, the cam being secured to the bottom of the valve body with respect to the air intake pipe.
