Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dispensing technology, and more particularly to a dispensing platform and dispensing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] During the product manufacturing process, after different parts are assembled together, the gaps between adjacent parts need to be filled using an adhesive dispensing process to ensure that multiple parts can be fixedly connected together.

[0003] In the prior art, dispensing equipment includes a dispensing gun and a platform. The dispensing gun needs to be connected to the dispensing equipment, so it usually remains stationary. The platform is used to support the carrier containing the product. After the carrier is placed on the platform, the position of the product that needs to be filled can correspond to the dispensing gun, and the dispensing gun can then perform the dispensing and filling process.

[0004] However, a single product often requires multiple areas to be glued and filled. The gaps are not only in different positions but also at different angles. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a multi-axis robot or other structure to move the carrier or platform so that the parts of the product that need to be glued and filled can be aligned with the glue gun. This makes the glue dispensing process of the entire glue dispensing equipment cumbersome and increases the manufacturing cost of the glue dispensing equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dispensing platform and dispensing equipment, which solves the problem in the prior art that when dispensing and filling different parts of a single product, it is necessary to set up a multi-axis robot or other structure to drive its movement, which makes the entire dispensing process cumbersome and increases the manufacturing cost of the dispensing equipment.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a dispensing stage, comprising:

[0008] A support platform is used to support a carrier containing products.

[0009] The first bracket is rotatably connected to the support platform;

[0010] A first driving member is disposed on the first bracket and connected to the support platform. The first driving member is used to drive the support platform to rotate in a first direction.

[0011] The second bracket is rotatably connected to the first bracket; and

[0012] A second driving member is disposed on the second bracket and connected to the first bracket. The second driving member is used to drive the second bracket to rotate along a second direction, wherein the first direction intersects the second direction.

[0013] Optionally, the first bracket includes a mounting frame having an installation space, and the support platform partially extends into the installation space and is rotatably connected to the mounting frame; the dispensing platform further includes:

[0014] A first limiting block is disposed within the installation space. The first limiting block has a first limiting inclined surface, which is used to selectively abut against the support platform in the first direction to limit the rotation angle of the support platform.

[0015] Optionally, the first bracket further includes a rotating frame fixedly connected to the mounting bracket, the rotating frame being rotatably connected to the second bracket; the dispensing stage further includes:

[0016] A second limiting block is disposed on the second bracket. The second limiting block has a second limiting inclined surface, which is used to selectively abut against the rotating frame in the second direction to limit the rotation angle of the rotating frame.

[0017] Optionally, two second limiting blocks are provided, and the rotating frame is located between the two second limiting blocks.

[0018] Optionally, the first support further includes:

[0019] A first calibration plate, the first calibration plate having a first groove formed along the first direction;

[0020] The first detection element is slidably connected within the first groove; and

[0021] A first detection plate is disposed on the support platform, and the first detection plate is used to detect the initial position and the final position of the support platform rotating along the first direction.

[0022] Optionally, the second support includes:

[0023] A second calibration plate, the second calibration plate having a second groove formed along the second direction;

[0024] The second detection element is slidably connected within the second groove; and

[0025] A second detection plate is disposed on the first support, and the second detection plate is used to detect the initial position and the final position of the first support rotating along the second direction.

[0026] Optionally, the dispensing stage further includes:

[0027] An adsorption unit is disposed on the support platform and is used to adsorb and fix the carrier.

[0028] Optionally, the dispensing stage further includes:

[0029] A positioning pin is provided on the platform and is used to engage with the vehicle.

[0030] Optionally, the dispensing stage further includes:

[0031] A horizontal calibration plate, one side of which is used to be inserted into the positioning pin and fixed to the adsorption part, and the other side is provided with a calibration plane corresponding to the calibration component.

[0032] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a dispensing device, comprising:

[0033] frame;

[0034] A glue gun is mounted on the frame; and

[0035] The dispensing stage as described in any one of the first aspects is disposed on the frame and corresponds to the dispensing gun.

[0036] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0037] Firstly, once the carrier is placed on the support platform, the first driving component can drive the support platform to rotate in the first direction, while the second driving component drives the first support to rotate in the second direction. The first and second driving components can be activated independently or simultaneously, allowing the carrier to move in both directions. Since movement in both directions is achieved through rotation, the carrier's angle can be adjusted simultaneously. Therefore, when in use, this dispensing platform can rotate in both directions, causing the carrier to move accordingly. This allows different parts of the product on the carrier to align with the dispensing gun at appropriate angles, facilitating dispensing and filling of gaps. This eliminates the need for separate multi-axis robotic arms or similar structures, simplifying the dispensing process, improving efficiency, and reducing overall manufacturing costs.

[0038] Secondly, when using this dispensing equipment, the position of the product relative to the dispensing gun can be adjusted using the dispensing platform to quickly and flexibly complete the dispensing process. There is no need to set up a multi-axis robot or other structure separately in the dispensing equipment, so as to simplify the dispensing process and reduce the manufacturing cost of the dispensing equipment.

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0050] This invention provides a dispensing stage and dispensing equipment.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The dispensing stage includes a support platform 1, a first bracket 2, a first drive component 3, a second bracket 4, and a second drive component 5. The support platform 1 is used to support a carrier containing a product; the first bracket 2 is rotatably connected to the support platform 1; the first drive component 3 is disposed on the first bracket 2 and connected to the support platform 1, and is used to drive the support platform 1 to rotate along a first direction X; the second bracket 4 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 2; the second drive component 5 is disposed on the second bracket 4 and connected to the first bracket 2, and is used to drive the second bracket 4 to rotate along a second direction Y, wherein the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect.

[0052] Specifically, the support platform 1 includes a support plate 11 and a connecting frame 12. The top wall of the support plate 11 is recessed for insertion and mating with the platform. The bottom wall of the support plate 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 12. The connecting frame 12 has an inverted U-shaped structure, with its top wall abutting against the bottom wall of the support plate 11 and fixed by bolts. Its vertical arm extends downward and into the first bracket 2, rotatably connected to the first bracket 2. The first driving component 3 can be a geared motor, which is fixed to the outside of the first bracket 2 and connected to the connecting frame 12 through a transmission structure to drive the connecting frame 12 to rotate along the first direction X, so that the platform can swing in the back-and-forth direction.

[0053] The first support 2 is rotatably connected to the second support 4 on the side away from the support platform 1. The second driving component 5 can also be a geared motor, or it can be connected to the first support 2 through a corresponding transmission structure. The specific transmission structure can be designed according to the actual space, such as a drive shaft or a gear set, etc. This invention does not limit this. The second driving component 5 can drive the first support 2 to rotate along the second direction Y, so that the platform can swing in the left and right directions.

[0054] In this embodiment, the product is equipped with seven cameras, each with a different position and angle. Gaps at the edges of each camera need to be filled. When the carrier containing the product is placed on the support platform 1, the first drive component 3 drives the support platform 1 to rotate in the first direction X, while the second drive component 5 drives the first support 2 to rotate in the second direction Y. The first and second drive components 3 and 5 can be activated independently or simultaneously, allowing the carrier to move in both directions. Since movement in both directions is achieved through rotation, the angle of the carrier can be adjusted simultaneously. Therefore, when in use, this dispensing platform can rotate in both directions X and Y to drive the carrier to move accordingly. This allows different parts of the product on the carrier to align with the dispensing gun, enabling the dispensing gun to fill gaps at different angles on different parts of the product. This eliminates the need for separate multi-axis robotic arms or similar structures, simplifying the dispensing process, improving dispensing efficiency, and reducing overall manufacturing costs.

[0055] Optionally, the first bracket 2 includes a mounting frame 21 with a mounting space 211. The support platform 1 extends partially into the mounting space 211 and is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 21. The dispensing platform also includes a first limiting block 6. The first limiting block 6 is disposed within the mounting space 211 and has a first limiting inclined surface 61. The first limiting inclined surface 61 is used to selectively abut against the support platform 1 in a first direction X to limit the rotation angle of the support platform 1.

[0056] Specifically, the mounting bracket 21 is U-shaped, with an installation space 211 in the middle. The two vertical arms of the mounting bracket 21 rotate and fit into contact with the two vertical arms of the connecting bracket 12. The first driving member 3 is located on the outside of the mounting bracket 21.

[0057] The first limiting block 6 is fixed on the inner bottom wall of the mounting bracket 21, and the first limiting block 6 is set away from the first driving component 3.

[0058] The top wall of the first limiting block 6 is conical, forming a first limiting inclined surface 61 on its front and rear sides respectively. The tip of the first limiting block 6 faces the middle of the vertical arm of the connecting frame 12, so that the end face of the vertical arm of the connecting frame 12 can form surface contact with the two first limiting inclined surfaces 61, thereby limiting the rotation range of the support platform 1 in the first direction X. The specific inclination angle of the first limiting inclined surface 61 can be designed according to the actual application scenario, and is not limited in this invention.

[0059] By setting the first limiting block 6, during the rotation of the support platform 1 along the first direction X, the support platform 1 abuts against the corresponding first limiting inclined surface 61, thereby limiting the maximum angle of rotation of the support platform 1 in the first direction X. The first limiting block 6 can be detached and connected to the mounting bracket 21 by bolts, so as to replace different first limiting blocks 6. Different first limiting blocks 6 can be provided with first limiting inclined surfaces 61 with different inclination angles, thereby flexibly adjusting the maximum rotation angle of the support platform 1 in the first direction X.

[0060] Optionally, the first bracket 2 further includes a rotating frame 22 fixedly connected to the mounting frame 21, and the rotating frame 22 is rotatably connected to the second bracket 4; the dispensing stage further includes a second limiting block 7. The second limiting block 7 is disposed on the second bracket 4, and the second limiting block 7 has a second limiting inclined surface 71, which is used to selectively abut against the rotating frame 22 in the second direction Y to limit the rotation angle of the rotating frame 22.

[0061] Specifically, the rotating frame 22 is 7-shaped, with its horizontal arm fixed to the bottom wall of the mounting frame 21 by bolts, and its vertical arm extending downwards and into the second bracket 4. The vertical arm is rotatably connected to the second bracket 4. Two second limiting blocks 7 are provided on the second bracket 4, and the rotating frame 22 is located between the two second limiting blocks 7. The top wall of the second limiting block 7 is inclined to form a second limiting slope 71. The inclination angle of the second limiting slope 71 can be designed according to the actual application scenario, and this invention does not limit it. The second limiting block 7 can also be detachably connected to the second bracket 4 by bolts or other fasteners to facilitate the replacement of different second limiting blocks 7. Different second limiting blocks 7 are provided with second limiting slopes 71 with different inclination angles, thereby flexibly adjusting the maximum rotation angle of the first bracket 2 in the second direction Y.

[0062] Optionally, the first support 2 further includes a first calibration plate 23, a first detection element 24, and a first detection plate 25. The first calibration plate has a first groove 231 opened along the first direction X; the first detection element 24 is slidably connected in the first groove 231; the first detection plate 25 is disposed on the support platform 1, and the first detection plate 25 is used to detect the initial position and the final position of the support platform 1 rotating along the first direction X.

[0063] Specifically, the first calibration plate is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the mounting frame 21 and extends in the front-to-back direction. The first slide groove 231 is formed through the first calibration plate in the first direction X. The first detection element 24 can be two photoelectric sensors arranged opposite each other, corresponding to the initial position and the end position of the support platform 1, respectively. The first detection plate 25 is horizontally placed in an L-shape, with its horizontal arm fixed to the connecting frame 12 and its vertical arm corresponding to the photoelectric sensor. The setting of the first slide groove 231 allows the position of the photoelectric sensor to be flexibly adjusted, so as to flexibly adjust the initial position and the end position of the support platform 1.

[0064] By setting the first calibration plate 23, the first detection element 24, and the first detection plate 25, the positions of the two photoelectric sensors of the first detection element 24 within the first chute 231 can be pre-calibrated before the dispensing operation, thereby determining the initial and final positions of the support platform 1 and further precisely limiting the rotation angle range of the support platform 1 in the first direction X. Furthermore, the initial and final positions of the support platform 1 can be flexibly adjusted according to different products to facilitate dispensing and sealing for different types of products.

[0065] Optionally, the second support 4 includes a second calibration plate 41, a second detection element 42, and a second detection plate 43. The second calibration plate 41 has a second groove 411 opened along the second direction Y; the second detection element 42 is slidably connected in the second groove 411. The second detection plate 43 is disposed on the first support 2, and the second detection plate 43 is used to detect the initial position and the final position of the first support 2 rotating along the second direction Y.

[0066] Specifically, the second support 4 is L-shaped, with its vertical arm rotatably connected to the rotating frame 22. The second calibration plate 41 is fixed to the upper side of the horizontal arm of the second support 4. The second slide groove 411 extends through the second direction Y. The second detection element 42 can also be two opposing photoelectric sensors, which correspond to the initial and final positions of the first support 2 as it rotates in the second direction Y. The second detection plate 43 is configured in the same way as the first detection plate 25, and will not be described further here. The second slide groove 411 allows for flexible adjustment of the positions of the two photoelectric sensors in the second detection element 42, thereby adjusting the initial and final positions of the first support 2.

[0067] By setting the second calibration plate 41, the second detection piece 42 and the second detection plate 43, before dispensing and filling the gap, the position of the second detection piece 42 in the second slide groove 411 is adjusted according to different products, thereby limiting the initial position and the end position of the first support 2. This allows the rotation angle range of the first support 2 to be flexibly adjusted according to different products, so that the dispensing stage can adapt to different products.

[0068] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4Optionally, the dispensing stage also includes an adsorption unit 13, a positioning pin 14, and a horizontal calibration plate 15. The adsorption unit 13 is disposed on the support platform 1 and is used to adsorb and fix the carrier. The positioning pin 14 is disposed on the platform and is used to insert and cooperate with the carrier. One side of the horizontal calibration plate 15 is used to insert with the positioning pin 14 and adsorb and fix it with the adsorption unit 13, and the other side is provided with a calibration plane corresponding to the calibration assembly.

[0069] Specifically, positioning pins 14 and adsorption parts 13 are provided at the top edge of the support plate 11. Four positioning pins 14 and four adsorption parts 13 can be spaced out in a ring to position and fix the carrier during placement. The horizontal calibration plate 15 can be plate-shaped, inserted into the top wall of the support plate 11, and can also be inserted into the positioning pins 14 and adsorbed and fixed by the adsorption parts 13. A calibration plane with a horizontal mark is provided on the top wall of the horizontal calibration plate 15. This plane, in conjunction with the calibration component, detects whether the platform is horizontal before the adhesive is applied. The calibration component can be a laser calibration device or other devices, as long as the horizontal value of the support plate 11 is within 0.03 mm.

[0070] By setting up the adsorption part 13 and the positioning pin 14, the carrier can be positioned and fixed by adsorption when placed, ensuring the stability of the carrier on the support plate 11. Before dispensing adhesive, the horizontal calibration plate 15 is placed on the support plate 11 and fixed together by the positioning pin 14 and the adsorption part 13. Then, the horizontal calibration plate 15 is calibrated by the calibration assembly. According to the calibration result, the position of the support platform 1 is adjusted by the first driving member 3 and the second driving member 5 so that the support plate 11 can be in a horizontal state to facilitate the subsequent dispensing process on the product.

[0071] Reference Figure 5 The dispensing equipment includes a frame, a dispensing gun 8, and a dispensing platform. The dispensing gun 8 is mounted on the frame, and the dispensing platform is mounted on the frame and corresponds to the dispensing gun 8.

[0072] When in use, this dispensing equipment can adjust the position of the product relative to the dispensing gun 8 using the dispensing platform to quickly and flexibly complete the dispensing process. It eliminates the need for separate multi-axis robotic arms and other structures within the dispensing equipment, thereby simplifying the dispensing process and reducing the manufacturing cost of the dispensing equipment.

[0073] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
