Gluing apparatus

Abstract

The embodiment of the present application discloses a gluing equipment, which utilizes a conveying track to convey a carrier, and sequentially sets a separating module and a gluing module along the conveying direction of the conveying track. Meanwhile, the swing arm is rotationally connected with the carrier platform, and the first elastic member of the carrier applies an elastic force to the swing member, so that the swing member can be in a position away from the profiling groove in the initial state. Thus, on the one hand, the swing arm can be poked to the profiling groove by the poking rod in the separating module, so that the suction accessory is close to the cover part and performs suction. Meanwhile, in the resetting process of the poking rod, the swing arm can also be automatically reset under the action of the first elastic member, so as to realize the separation of the cover part and the body. On the other hand, in order to ensure that the suction accessory can stably separate the cover part from the body, the taking and placing suction head is used to separate the cover part and the body before the suction accessory performs suction, and the suction accessory is used to perform suction after the taking and placing suction head places the cover part on the body, thereby improving the success rate of separating the cover part from the body.

Description

[0002] Adhesion is a common method of mechanical connection, enabling stable connections between components. Especially for electronic products, adhesion simplifies the assembly process. When two parts are bonded together, the adhesive, due to its fluidity, spreads across the bonding area, thus occupying more space between the parts. However, during the adhesive application process, the two parts must first be separated to expose the adhesive application area. Therefore, simplifying the adhesive application process becomes a problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

After the pick-and-place suction head places the cover back onto the body, the adsorbent is then used for adsorption, improving the success rate of separation. Furthermore, multiple glue outlets are used for gluing, ensuring accuracy in gluing position and amount. Attached Figure Description

[0077] The present invention is described below based on embodiments, but the invention is not limited to these embodiments. In the detailed description of the invention below, certain specific details are described in detail. Those skilled in the art will fully understand the invention even without these details. To avoid obscuring the essence of the invention, well-known methods, processes, flows, elements, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0078] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should understand that the accompanying drawings provided herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0079] Unless the context explicitly requires it, words such as "including" or "contains" throughout the application should be interpreted as including rather than exclusive or exhaustive; that is, meaning "including but not limited to".

[0080] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Furthermore, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

The device may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially related descriptive terms used herein should be interpreted accordingly.

[0083] Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of product D in different states in this embodiment. Figure 1The cover D1 and the body D2 of product D are in a snap-fit ​​state. Figure 2 The cover D1 and the main body D2 are in an open, separated state. The main body D2 has a wire hole D21, and product D also includes a wire D3, which passes through the wire hole D21 and connects to the main body D2. In the separated state, the cover D1 of product D is flipped up towards the wire D3. The figure also shows the adhesive application area I of product D. This adhesive application area I is located at the top inside the main body D2, and is exposed after the cover D1 is flipped up. The figure also uses a dashed line to show the position of the adsorption component 432 when adsorbing the cover D1.

[0084] Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the carrier 4 in different directions according to this embodiment. The carrier 4 in the figure includes four contoured grooves 44, which are located on the same side of the wiring area 4b.

[0085] Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is an exploded view of the carrier 4 in different embodiments of this example. The figure also shows a second elastic member 48. This second elastic member 48 is used to move the sliding member 46 towards the receiving recess 452 to pre-position the product D before the carrier 4 enters the separation module A1. Figure 6 The four contour grooves 44 are in different states.

[0086] Figure 7 and Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the adhesive coating equipment in this embodiment in different directions. Figure 9 and Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the separation module A1 in different directions according to this embodiment. In the conveying direction of the conveying track 11, the separation module A1 is located in front of the adhesive coating module A2.

[0087] Figure 11 This is an exploded view of the separation module A1 in this embodiment. The separation module A1 in the figure includes a pick-and-place suction head A12 driven by the driving end of the fourth driver A154, a lever A11 driven by the driving end of the third driver A153, a first pusher A13 driven by the driving end of the first driver A151, and a second pusher A14 driven by the driving end of the second driver A152.

[0088] Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the transport assembly 1 in this embodiment. In the figure, the carrier 4 enters the adhesive application equipment from one end of the conveyor track 11.

[0089] Figure 13This is a schematic diagram of the separation module A1 in different working states of this embodiment. States IIa, IIb, IIc, IId, and IIe in the figure represent the process by which the separation module A1 separates product D from the carrier 4.

[0090] In some implementations, such as Figure 1-13 As shown, the adhesive application equipment in this embodiment includes a separation module A1, an adhesive application module A2, a carrier 4, and a transport assembly 1. The separation module A1 includes a lever A11 and multiple pick-and-place suction heads A12. The adhesive application module A2 includes multiple adhesive outlets A21. The carrier 4 includes a platform 41, multiple first elastic elements 42, and multiple swinging elements 43. Each swinging element 43 includes a swing arm 431 and an adsorption element 432. The platform 41 is provided with multiple contoured grooves 44 that correspond one-to-one with the multiple swinging elements 43, the multiple pick-and-place suction heads A12, and the multiple adhesive outlets A21. One end of the swing arm 431 is rotatably connected to the platform 41, and the adsorption element 432 is disposed at the other end of the swing arm 431. The multiple first elastic elements 42 are disposed one-to-one with the multiple swinging elements 43. The conveying assembly 1 includes a conveying track 11. The conveying track 11 conveys the carrier 4 through the separation module A1 and the glue application module A2 in sequence. The lever A11, multiple pick-and-place suction heads A12 and multiple glue outlets A21 are arranged above the conveying track 11, with the multiple pick-and-place suction heads A12 and multiple glue outlets A21 facing the conveying track 11.

[0091] Simultaneously, the separation module A1 is configured such that when the carrier 4 is conveyed to the separation module A1, the pick-and-place suction head A12 picks up the cover D1 of the product D in the corresponding contouring groove 44 and puts it back. The lever A11 simultaneously moves multiple swinging members 43 to swing towards the contouring groove 44 until the adsorption member 432 adsorbs the cover D1 of the product D. The first elastic member 42 drives the swing arm 431 to swing away from the contouring groove 44 by a predetermined angle, so that the cover D1 is separated from the body D2 of the product D.

[0092] Meanwhile, the glue application module A2 is configured such that when the carrier 4 is conveyed to the glue application module A2, the glue outlet A21 applies glue to the glue application area of ​​the corresponding product body D2. This glue application area is located on the top of the body D2.

[0093] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pick-and-place suction head A12 first picks up the cover D1 of product D (i.e., the part located at the top of the contour groove 44) to a predetermined height (e.g., 0.5 cm), and then puts the cover D1 back. In this configuration, the cover D1 is stacked on top of the body D2. When the suction member 432 performs a suction operation on the cover D1, it is easy to pick up the cover D1, so that the cover D1 can be completely separated from the body D2 by the swinging member 43, reducing or even avoiding the situation where the cover D1 cannot be separated from the body D2. Finally, the cover D1 is in a vertical or approximately vertical position relative to the body D2 (e.g., ...). Figure 2(As shown). At this point, the adhesive-coated area I can be fully exposed.

[0094] Then, the carrier 4 containing the separated product D can be transferred to the glue coating module A2 using the transfer track 11. Figure 8 (As shown). The glue application module A2 uses the glue outlet A21, which corresponds one-to-one with the contour groove 44, to perform glue application on the glue application area I, thereby completing the glue application on product D.

[0095] In summary, the adhesive coating equipment of this embodiment utilizes the conveyor track 11 to transport the carrier 4, and sequentially arranges the separation module A1 and the adhesive coating module A2 along the conveyor track 11. Simultaneously, the swing arm 431 is rotatably connected to the platform 41, and the first elastic element 42 of the carrier 4 applies an elastic force to the swing member 43, enabling the swing member 43 to initially be positioned away from the contour groove 44.

[0096] Therefore, on the one hand, the lever A11 in the separation module A1 can be used to move the swing arm 431 towards the contour groove 44, so that the adsorption component 432 approaches the cover D1 and adsorbs it. Simultaneously, during the reset process of the lever A11, the swing arm 431 can automatically reset under the action of the first elastic element 42, thus achieving the separation of the cover D1 from the body D2. On the other hand, to ensure that the adsorption component 432 can stably separate the cover D1 from the body D2, before the adsorption component 432 adsorbs, the pick-and-place suction head A12 is used to separate the cover D1 and the body D2. After the pick-and-place suction head A12 places the cover D1 back onto the body D2, the adsorption component 432 is then used for adsorption, improving the success rate of separating the cover D1 from the body D2. Furthermore, multiple glue outlets A21 are used for glue application to ensure the accuracy of the glue application position and amount.

[0097] Preferably, such as Figure 11 and Figure 13As shown, in this embodiment, the length direction of the lever A11 is parallel to the arrangement direction of the multiple contoured grooves 44. When the lever A11 approaches the contoured groove 44, it simultaneously abuts against the side of each swing arm 431 away from the contoured groove 44, thereby driving the multiple swinging members 43 to swing simultaneously toward the corresponding contoured groove 44. In this embodiment, the adsorption member 432 is magnetic. Simultaneously, the cover D1 includes a magnetic conductor. When the lever A11 moves to a predetermined distance (at which point it is above the contoured groove 44), the adsorption member 432 just touches the top surface of the cover D1, causing the cover D1 and the adsorption member 432 to attract each other. In this configuration, the lever A11 moves in the opposite direction. During this process, the lever A11 gradually releases the swing arm 431, and the swing arm 431 is pushed away from the contoured groove 44 by the elastic force of the first elastic member 42. In other words, this embodiment configures the travel distance of the lever A11 and the swing angle of the swing member 43 to limit the height of the adsorption member 432 to the bottom of the contour groove 44, thus preventing the adsorption member 432 from crushing the product D. Simultaneously, the pick-and-place suction head A12 is configured as an accordion suction cup. The accordion suction cup uses negative pressure to lift the cover D1. The corrugated structure of this accordion suction cup also prevents the pick-and-place suction head A12 from crushing the product D when it moves towards the product D during the adsorption process.

[0098] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the first elastic element 42 is a torsion spring. The torsion spring is located at the hinge position between the swing arm 431 and the platform 41. The two driving ends of the torsion spring abut against the swing arm 431 and the platform 41, respectively. Thus, through the relative rotation of the two driving ends, the swing element 43 is driven away from the contour groove 44.

[0099] In some implementations, such as Figure 6 and Figure 11 As shown, the adsorption element 432 includes a magnetic body. When the lever A11 moves above the contour groove 44, the lever A11 drives the adsorption element 432 to swing so that the magnetic body attracts the cover portion D1 of the product D.

[0100] Preferably, in this embodiment, the lever A11 can also be set as a magnetic body so that when the lever A11 abuts against the adsorption member 432, there is a magnetic attraction between the lever A11 and the adsorption member 432, which can prevent the lever A11 from slipping or avoid relative sliding between the lever A11 and the adsorption member 432, thereby further increasing the success rate of separating the cover D1 from the body D2.

[0101] In some implementations, such as Figures 1-6 , Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, the swing member 43 has a pickup position 43a in the swing direction (e.g., Figure 6 (as shown) and flip position 43b (as shown) Figure 6 As shown), the stage 41 has a stop surface 411 facing the contour groove 44.

[0102] In the open position 43b, the first elastic element 42 drives the swing arm 431 away from the contour groove 44 until the swing arm 431 abuts against the stop surface 411. The separation module A1 also includes a first pusher A13, which includes a plurality of first push rods A131 corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of swing arms 431. The ends of the first push rods A131 extend toward the side of the swing arm 431 away from the stop surface 411 and are at a predetermined distance from the suction element 432. The separation module A1 is also configured to drive the first push rods A131 toward the corresponding swing arm 431 until abutment after the lever A11 is reset.

[0103] Easy to understand, such as Figure 13 As shown in state IIe, the outline of the cover D1 is roughly illustrated by dashed lines. In this embodiment, the first push rod A131 is radially offset from the cover D1 to avoid interference with the cover D1 when the first push rod A131 moves toward the swing arm 431. After the lever A11 is reset, the first push rod A131 moves toward the swing arm 431 to abut against the stop surface 411. This ensures that the swing member 43 is in the flipped-up position 43b, preventing interference between the glue outlet A21 and the cover D1 if the swing member 43 does not fully flip up the cover D1 during the dispensing process (e.g., the elasticity of the first elastic member 42 decreases due to prolonged use of the carrier 4).

[0104] In some implementations, such as Figures 3-6 As shown, the platform 41 includes a base 45 and a plurality of sliding members 46. The base 45 is provided with a plurality of slide rails 451 and a plurality of receiving recesses 452 corresponding to the plurality of sliding members 46. The sliding members 46 are provided with contoured edges 461 and are slidably disposed in the slide rails 451. The contoured edges 461 and the receiving recesses 452 are combined to form contoured grooves 44.

[0105] Further reference Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, the separation module A1 also includes a second pusher A14. The second pusher A14 includes a plurality of second push rods A141 corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of sliders 46, and the ends of the second push rods A141 extend toward the side of the slider 46 away from the contoured edge 461.

[0106] Simultaneously, the separation module A1 is also configured to drive the second push rod A141 to move toward the corresponding slider 46 to position the body D2 of the product D before the pick-up and drop-off suction head A12 picks up the cover D1 of the product D. Figure 6 (From state IIb to state IIc).

[0107] In this embodiment, the second push rod A141 positions the main body D2, preventing the suction head A12 and the suction element 432 from lifting the main body D2 along with the cover D1 when picking up the cover D1, thus preventing the cover D1 from being separated from the main body D2. Furthermore, if the main body D2 is not positioned, it will cause the adhesive application area to shift during the adhesive application process.

[0108] Furthermore, the platform 41 is also provided with multiple wire grooves 4a and wiring areas 4b for accommodating the wire D3 of product D. Each wire groove 4a corresponds to a different contour groove 44. One end of each wire groove 4a extends into the corresponding contour groove 44, and the other end extends into the wiring area 4b. One end of the swing arm 431 is connected between the contour groove 44 and the wiring area 4b. The first elastic element 42 drives the swing arm 431 to swing towards the wiring area 4b. One end of the wire D3 passes through the wire hole D21 of the body D2 and connects to the cover D1, while the other end passes through the wire groove 4a and extends into the wiring area 4b.

[0109] In this embodiment, the tail of the wire D3 extends into the wiring area 4b and is covered by a wire clamping tape to prevent it from moving around during transport by the carrier 4. In this embodiment, the cover D1 is connected to the wire D3, which passes through the wire hole D21. In this configuration, the wire hole D21 restricts the flipping direction of the cover D1. Therefore, in this embodiment, the swing member 43 is configured to flip towards the wire D3 to avoid the wire D3 interfering with the flipping of the cover D1.

[0110] Easy to understand, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, when the cover D1 moves away from the body D2, it will pull the wire D3 to a certain extent. In this configuration, the positional relationship between the wire hole D21 and the wire D3 will restrict the flipping action of the cover D1. On the other hand, the body D2 includes a circumferentially extending flange. Correspondingly, the cover D1 will be fastened to the inside of this flange. At the same time, in order to position the body D2, this embodiment uses the second push rod A141 to push the slider 46 to position the body D2. This process will cause the position of the body D2 to move relatively, causing the cover D1 to be limited by the body D2. Therefore, it is difficult to guarantee the success rate of separation by directly using the swing member 43 to separate the cover D1 and the body D2.

[0111] Therefore, in this embodiment, the pick-and-place suction head A12 is first used to pre-separate the cover D1 and the body D2. For example, after the pick-and-place suction head A12 adsorbs the cover D1, it moves a predetermined distance (0.2 cm) above the contour groove 44. Then, the cover D1 is placed back onto the body D2. In this configuration, the cover D1 is stacked on top of the body D2, and when the adsorption member 432 is used for separation, the success rate of separating the cover D1 from the body D2 can be greatly improved.

[0112] In some implementations, such as Figure 4As shown, positioning holes 47 are provided at the bottom of vehicle 4. Further reference... Figures 12-13 As shown, the conveying assembly 1 also includes a first lifting part 51. The first lifting part 51 is correspondingly disposed to the separation module A1 and includes a first pallet 511 and a positioning pin 512 adapted to the positioning hole 47. The positioning pin 512 is disposed on the top of the first pallet 511.

[0113] Meanwhile, the first lifting part 51 is configured to drive the first pallet 511 to lift the passing carrier 4 and insert the positioning pin 512 into the positioning hole 47 until the seat part 45 abuts against the bottom of the second push rod A141.

[0114] In this embodiment, the positioning pin 512 restricts the horizontal position of the carrier 4, preventing the carrier 4 from easily shifting when the first support plate 511 lifts it. This further improves the positional accuracy between the pick-and-place suction head A12 and the contour groove 44. Furthermore, the cooperation between the first support plate 511 and the bottom of the second push rod A141 further restricts the vertical position of the carrier 4, facilitating the pick-and-place suction head A12's operation on the cover D1.

[0115] In some implementations, such as Figures 9-11 As shown, the separation module A1 includes a mounting frame A16, a first driver A151, a second driver A152, and a third driver A153. The mounting frame A16 includes a mounting plate A161, which is disposed above the conveying track 11 and has a window A162 corresponding to the contour groove 44. The driving ends of the first driver A151, the second driver A152, and the third driver A153 respectively drive the first pusher A13, the second pusher A14, and the lever A11 to move horizontally.

[0116] The second driver A152 and the first driver A151 are respectively disposed on the top and bottom surfaces of the mounting plate A161 and are located on the same side of the window A162. The third driver A153 is disposed on the top surface of the mounting plate A161 and is located on the other side of the window A162. The first push rod A131, the second push rod A141 and the lever A11 are located between the mounting plate A161 and the conveyor rail 11 and correspond to the window A162.

[0117] In this embodiment, the entire separation module A1 is raised by the mounting bracket A16, so that the mounting plate A161 can be placed above the conveyor track 11. Thus, the first lifting unit 51 can cooperate with the mounting bracket A16 to perform the separation operation on product D.

[0118] Preferably, such as Figures 10-11As shown, both the first pusher A13 and the second pusher A14 are configured with a fork-shaped structure. The fork handle of the first pusher A13 is connected to the drive end of the first driver A151, and the fork handle of the second pusher A14 is connected to the drive end of the second driver A152. The multiple fork heads of the first pusher A13 and the multiple fork heads of the second pusher A14 are staggered to correspond to the slider 46 and the swing arm 431 respectively.

[0119] Furthermore, the separation module A1 also includes a controller and a stroke sensor (not shown in the figure). The stroke sensor is communicatively connected to the controller and is used to detect the motion stroke of the drive end of the first driver A151.

[0120] Controller A17 is configured to receive the motion stroke signal from the drive end of the first driver A151. Simultaneously, in response to the motion stroke of the drive end of the first driver A151 exceeding a first distance, a prompt message is generated. The first distance is the motion stroke of the first push rod A131 when it is in contact with the swing arm 431 (e.g., ...). Figure 13 (As shown in state Ⅱe).

[0121] In this embodiment, when the swing member 43 is not raised, the first push rod A131 will move to the position of the lever A11. In this form, the travel distance will be greater than the first distance. That is, the travel sensor is used to determine whether the swing member 43 is raised after the lever A11 is reset, so as to avoid the swing member 43 being fastened to the product D.

[0122] In some implementations, such as Figures 11-13 As shown, the separation module A1 also includes a fourth driver A154. Multiple pick-and-place nozzles A12 are disposed at the drive end of the fourth driver A154, and the fourth driver A154 and the lever A11 are disposed together at the drive end of the third driver A153.

[0123] In this embodiment, the suction head A12 moves along the contour groove 44 to perform the suction action on the cover D1. After the suction head A12 completes the suction action and resets, the lever A11 is then driven to move the swing member 43. Therefore, placing the suction head A12, the fourth driver A154, and the lever A11 together in the third driver A153 simplifies the overall mechanism of the separation module A1 and also ensures that the actions do not interfere with each other.

[0124] Figure 14 and Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second lifting part 52 in different embodiments of this example.

[0125] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 , Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, a positioning hole 47 is provided at the bottom of the carrier 4. The conveying assembly 1 also includes a second lifting part 52. The second lifting part 52 is correspondingly provided with the adhesive application module A2 and includes a second pallet 521 and a positioning pin 512 adapted to the positioning hole 47. The positioning pin 512 is provided on the top of the second pallet 521. The second lifting part 52 is configured to drive the second pallet 521 to lift the carrier 4 that has passed through and to insert the positioning pin 512 into the positioning hole 47.

[0126] In this embodiment, the position of the carrier 4 is limited by the cooperation of the positioning pin 512 and the positioning hole 47, which ensures the relative positional accuracy of the glue outlet A21 and the glue application area I.

[0127] In some implementations, such as Figures 14-15 As shown, the second lifting unit 52 also includes a first driving member 523, a second driving member 524, a pulley 527, a guide block 528, a fifth driver 525, and a sixth driver 526. The sixth driver 526 is disposed at the driving end of the fifth driver 525 via the first driving member 523. The first driving member 523 is rotatably connected to the second support plate 521. The guide block 528 is disposed on the bottom surface of the second support plate 521 and has a guide groove 5281. The second driving member 524 is disposed at the driving end of the sixth driver 526. The pulley 527 is rotatably disposed on the second driving member 524 and extends into the guide groove 5281.

[0128] The second pallet 521 has a horizontal lifting state 521a and a tilted lifting state 521b. In the horizontal lifting state 521a, the drive end of the fifth actuator 525 drives the second pallet 521 to rise, thereby horizontally lifting the carrier 4. During this process, the drive end of the sixth actuator 526 remains stationary.

[0129] In the tilted lifting state 521b, the driving end of the sixth driver 526 drives the second driving member 524 to rise. The pulley 527 cooperates with the guide groove 5281 to drive the second support plate 521 to rotate relative to the first driving member 523, so that the contour groove 44 tilts towards the swing member 43. That is, in the tilted lifting state 521b, the body D2 and the cover D1 are in a separated state. The area on the body D2 near the wire hole D21 can face the glue outlet A21, which facilitates the glue application module A2 to apply glue to this area.

[0130] In some implementations, such as Figure 12As shown, the conveying assembly 1 also includes multiple blocking mechanisms 6. Each blocking mechanism 6 includes a roller 61 and a lifting cylinder that drives the roller 61 to move up and down. One blocking mechanism 6 is correspondingly positioned to the separation module A1. When the carrier 4 containing the product D to be separated reaches the bottom of the separation module A1, the blocking mechanism 6 blocks the carrier 4 from passing through via the roller 61. This allows the first lifting unit 51 to lift the carrier 4 via the first pallet 511. After the separation process is completed, the first pallet 511 moves down to allow the carrier 4 to fall back onto the conveyor track 11. In this configuration, the roller 61 moves towards the bottom of the conveyor track 11 to avoid the carrier 4, allowing the carrier 4 to be conveyed to the adhesive application module A2.

[0131] In contrast, the blocking mechanism 6 is also positioned corresponding to the glue-applying module A2 for use with it. Simultaneously, the blocking mechanism 6 can also be positioned before the separation module A1, allowing the multiple carriers 4 on the conveyor track 11 to be spaced apart, preventing other carriers 4 from colliding with the drive end of the cylinder driving the first pallet 51 when the first lifting unit 51 is lifting the carrier 4.

[0132] Preferably, multiple limit switches are provided on the conveyor track 11. The controller is communicatively connected to the multiple limit switches and the lifting cylinders that drive the first pallet 511 and the second pallet 521. The limit switches can be set at the first lifting section 51 position and the second lifting section 52 position. When the carrier 4 is conveyed on the conveyor track 11, the current position of the carrier 4 can be determined by the limit switches, so as to coordinate with the blocking mechanism 6, the first lifting section 51 and the second lifting section 52 to perform lifting operations on it.

[0133] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can be modified and varied in various ways. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
