The processing flow of casters generally includes injection molding, pouring, vulcanization, gluing and rubber coating. Among them, gluing is a very important process. Gluing refers to applying a glue substance to the outside of the wheel hub of the caster to ensure that the connection between the caster and the outer tire of the caster is more stable during the subsequent pouring or vulcanization process.

[0003] The existing technology usually processes casters manually, but when applying glue to casters manually, some parts of the casters are often not coated with glue, resulting in a gap in the assembly of the part.

The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0066] The “first” and “second” in the present invention do not represent specific quantities and orders, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0067] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a wheel body gluing device in one embodiment of the present invention comprises:

[0068] Support platform 1;

[0069] The lifting and translation device 2 comprises a lifting mechanism 22 and a translation mechanism 21, wherein the translation mechanism 21 is arranged on the supporting platform 1, and the lifting mechanism 22 is movably arranged on the translation mechanism 21;

[0070] The coating mechanism 3 includes a base 31, a coating member 32 and a first driving member 33. The base 31 is connected to the lifting mechanism 22. The lifting mechanism 22 drives the base 31 to rise and fall. The coating member 32 and the first driving member 33 are arranged on the base 31. The first driving member 33 drives the coating member 32 to rotate, so as to coat the caster 100.

[0071] The glue storage mechanism 4 includes a glue storage box 41 and a glue applying component 42. The glue storage box 41 is arranged on one side of the translation mechanism 21. The glue storage box 41 stores glue material. The glue applying component 42 is arranged in the glue storage box 41 and is used to pick up the glue material and apply it to the applying mechanism 3.

[0072] The fixing assembly 5 includes a cam 51 and a second driving member 52. The cam 51 is disposed on the supporting platform 1 and connected to the output end of the second driving member 52. The second driving member 52 drives the cam 51 to rotate. The cam is used to fix the caster 100.

[0073] The scraper assembly 6 includes a scraper member 61 and a telescopic member 62. The telescopic member 62 is disposed on the base 31. The telescopic end is fixedly connected to the scraper member 61. The working end of the scraper member 61 corresponds to the smear member 32. The telescopic member 62 can drive the scraper member 61 to approach or move away from the smear member 32.

[0074] The fixing assembly 5 , the coating mechanism 3 and the glue storage mechanism 4 are located on the same side of the lifting and translating device 2 .

[0075] In one of the embodiments, the lifting and translational device 2 drives the coating mechanism 3 to move, so that the coating mechanism 3 can move to the glue storage mechanism 4, and the coating member 32 picks up the glue substance at the glue storage mechanism 4. After the picking is completed, the lifting and translational device 2 drives the coating mechanism 3 to move to the fixed component 5, and the caster 100 is fixed on the convex shaft 51. The lifting and translational device 2 controls the coating member 32 of the coating mechanism 3 to contact the caster 100, the first driving member 33 drives the coating member 32 to rotate, and the second driving member 52 drives the convex shaft 51 to rotate, thereby driving the caster 100 to rotate, so that the caster 100 can be evenly coated with the glue substance.

[0076] The lifting and translation device 2 is arranged on the supporting platform 1. The lifting and translation device 2 can drive the coating mechanism 3 to move arbitrarily in a vertical plane. The movement range of the coating mechanism 3 is the highest point, the lowest point and the longest point of the lifting and translation device 2. It can be understood that the lifting and translation device 2 includes a lifting mechanism 22 and a translation mechanism 21. The lifting mechanism 22 has a highest point and a lowest point of movement. If it is a slide rail, the highest point and the lowest point of movement are the two ends of the length of the slide rail; if it is a mechanical arm, the highest point and the lowest point of movement are the angles of the mechanical arm's movement limit. Similarly, the translation mechanism 21 is also the same. Therefore, the combination of the mechanism that drives the coating mechanism 3 to rise and fall and the mechanism that drives the coating mechanism 3 to move horizontally can make the coating mechanism 3 move arbitrarily in the plane.

[0077] The lifting and translation device 2 can be composed of two vertically arranged slide rails, one slide rail is arranged parallel to the supporting platform 1, and the other slide rail is arranged vertically on the other slide rail and can slide relatively. The vertically arranged slide is equipped with a coating mechanism 3. By sliding the vertically arranged slide rail parallel to the supporting platform 1 and moving the coating mechanism 3 relative to the vertically arranged slide rail, any movement within a vertical plane can be achieved.

[0078] Alternatively, the slide rail and the telescopic rod may be used. The slide rail is arranged perpendicular to the support platform 1. One end of the telescopic rod is slidably arranged on the slide rail, and the other end is fixedly connected to the coating mechanism 3. The telescopic rod can drive the coating mechanism 3 away from or close to the slide rail, and the telescopic rod can also slide or be fixed on the slide rail. The cooperation between the slide rail and the telescopic rod can also realize the arbitrary movement of the coating mechanism 3 in a vertical plane.

[0079] Alternatively, a moving plate and a moving block may be provided, wherein the moving plate is provided on the supporting platform 1, and the moving block is provided on the moving plate, wherein one end of the moving block is movably connected to the moving plate, and the other end is fixedly connected to the coating mechanism 3, and the moving block may move arbitrarily within the moving plate, thereby driving the coating mechanism 3 to move arbitrarily, and the moving plate and the moving block are electromagnetically connected.

[0080] It can also be a mechanical arm, the arm end of which is fixedly connected to the coating mechanism 3, and the mechanical arm can drive the coating mechanism 3 to move to any position.

[0081] The smearing mechanism 3 includes a base 31, a smearing member 32 and a first driving member 33. The base 31 is connected to the lifting and translational assembly, and the base 31 is driven to move by the lifting and translational assembly. When the smearing mechanism 3 moves to the glue storage mechanism 4, the first driving member 33 drives the smearing member 32 to rotate. When the smearing member 32 rotates, it will pick up the glue material in the glue storage mechanism 4. After the smearing member 32 rotates 2 to 3 times to ensure that the smearing member 32 has completely picked up the glue material, the lifting and translational assembly will drive the smearing mechanism 3 away from the glue storage mechanism 4 and close to the caster 100 on the convex shaft 51 of the fixed assembly 5. The first driving member 33 drives the smearing member 32 to rotate again, and the second driving member 52 drives the convex shaft 51 to rotate, and the caster 100 on the convex shaft 51 also rotates accordingly. When the caster 100 and the smearing member 32 both rotate, the glue material on the smearing member 32 will be smeared on the caster 100.

[0082] Among them, the gap between the smear member 32 and the caster 100 determines the thickness of the adhesive substance smeared on the caster 100. Since the smear member 32 and the caster 100 are both rotating, it can be regarded as the arc surfaces of the two disks are in contact. Therefore, the thickness of the adhesive substance on the caster 100 will be relatively uniform and flat, which is conducive to the subsequent installation of the caster 100.

[0083] When the lifting and translating device 2 drives the coating mechanism 3 to pick up the glue substance, in order to prevent the coating member 32 from being stained with the glue substance on other parts except the coating surface, the glue storage mechanism 4 also includes a glue application component 42 to coat the glue substance on the coating surface of the coating member 32, thereby avoiding the glue substance from dripping randomly.

[0084] The gluing component 42 can be a rotating rod and a brush, one end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the brush, and the other end is rotatably set on the glue storage box 41. The rotating rod is supported by one end, and the brush is rotated to control the brush to pick up the glue substance in the glue storage box 41. When the smearing mechanism 3 is located on the glue storage mechanism 4, the brush contacts the smearing member 32, and the glue substance is attached to the smearing member 32.

[0085] The gluing component 42 can also be a roller and a transmission rod. The roller is set in the glue storage box 41, and the middle part is fixedly connected to the transmission rod. A part of the roller is immersed in the glue substance. The transmission rod is rotated to make the curved surface of the roller absorb the glue substance. The smearing piece 32 and the roller rotate relative to each other to adhere the glue substance to the smearing piece 32.

[0086] The caster 100 is fixed on the convex shaft 51, and the second driving member 52 drives the convex shaft 51 to rotate, and the rotation of the convex shaft 51 drives the caster 100 to rotate. The smearing member 32 also rotates when it is close to the caster 100. When the caster 100 and the smearing member 32 rotate relative to each other, every part of the curved surface of the caster 100 will contact the smearing member 32, and the colloid substance on the smearing member 32 will also be evenly smeared on the caster 100 because the smearing member 32 is in a rotating state. In this way, the colloid substance can evenly cover the curved surface of the caster 100, and there will be no situation where it is not smeared.

[0087] After the gluing process of the caster 100 is completed, the wheel body gluing equipment stops running. At this time, there is a lot of glue on the smear member 32. If it is not handled in time, the glue will solidify on the smear member 32, so that the surface of the smear member 32 becomes uneven. Therefore, a scraper assembly 6 is also provided. When the caster 100 stops processing, the first driving member 33 drives the smear member 32 to rotate continuously, and the telescopic member 62 drives the scraper 61 to approach the smear member 32 and contact the smear member 32. When the scraper 61 contacts the smear member 32, the scraper 61 will scrape off the remaining glue on the smear member 32 to ensure that when the smear member 32 subsequently smears the caster 100, the contact surface between the smear member 32 and the caster 100 remains smooth.

[0088] There is also a short box, which is connected to the scraper 61. When the scraper 61 scrapes the glue on the smear 32, the glue flows into the short box along the connection between the short box and the scraper 61, thereby preventing the glue from dripping on the support platform 1. The support platform 1 is kept clean. The scraper 61 and the smear 32 are arranged obliquely. The glue scraped by the scraper 61 will enter the short box better.

[0089] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the translation mechanism 21 includes a first slide rail 211 and a first drive assembly 212, and the first drive assembly 212 is disposed on the first slide rail 211 and connected to the lifting mechanism 22;

[0090] The first driving assembly 212 includes a third driving member 2121, a first sliding member 2122, a synchronous belt 2123 and a synchronous wheel 2124. The synchronous belt 2123 and the synchronous wheel 2124 are connected and arranged in the middle of the first slide rail 211. The synchronous belt 2123 is connected to the lifting mechanism 22.

[0091] The sliding end of the first sliding member 2122 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 211, and the other side is fixedly connected to the lifting mechanism 22;

[0092] The driving end of the third driving member 2121 is connected to the synchronous wheel 2124;

[0093] The third driving member 2121 drives the synchronous wheel 2124 to rotate to drive the lifting mechanism 22 and the first sliding member 2122 to slide on the first sliding rail 211 .

[0094] In one embodiment, the translation mechanism 21 includes a first slide rail 211 and a first driving assembly 212. The first slide rail 211 is set on the supporting platform 1. The first sliding member 2122 is slidably set on the first slide rail 211. The first sliding member 2122 can slide along the first slide rail 211, and the other side of the first sliding member 2122 is connected to the lifting mechanism 22, thereby assisting the lifting mechanism 22 to move along the first slide rail 211.

[0095] The third driving member 2121, the synchronous wheel 2124 and the synchronous belt 2123 serve as the driving force for driving the lifting mechanism 22, wherein the synchronous belt 2123 is connected to the lifting mechanism 22. When the third driving member 2121 drives the synchronous wheel 2124 to rotate, the synchronous wheel 2124 will rotate under the drive of the third driving member 2121, and the lifting mechanism 22 connected to the synchronous belt 2123 will also be driven. Since the first sliding member 2122 is fixedly connected to the lifting mechanism 22, the lifting mechanism 22 will move along the first slide rail 211, thereby avoiding deviation of the lifting mechanism 22 during movement.

[0096] In another embodiment, the synchronous belt 2123 is in contact with the first slide rail 211, and the synchronous belt 2123 is fixedly connected to the first sliding member 2122. When the third driving member 2121 drives the synchronous wheel 2124, the synchronous belt 2123 is driven to move, and the first sliding block fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 2123 drives the lifting mechanism 22 to move.

[0097] The provision of the first slide rail 211 and the first sliding member 2122 can not only reduce the friction force when the lifting mechanism 22 moves, but also guide the movement of the lifting mechanism 22 .

[0098] The matching relationship between the first slide rail 211 and the first sliding member 2122 can be ball matching, and the friction is reduced by adding a ball at the connection between the first slide rail 211 and the first sliding member 2122. It can also be roller matching, and the friction is reduced by adding a roller at the connection between the first slide rail 211 and the first sliding member 2122. It can also be gear matching, in which a rack is provided on the first slide rail 211, and gears are provided on both sides of the first sliding member 2122 that contact the gear of the first slide rail 211, and the gear is meshed in the rack, thereby reducing friction and guiding. Gear matching can improve the accuracy of the lifting mechanism 22 moving along the plane, because the gear-rack matching is through the meshing relationship between the rack and the gear, and the teeth of each rack will correspond to the teeth of the gear one by one.

[0099] Alternatively, the magnetic suspension force may be used, a magnet is disposed on the first slide rail 211, and a normally conductive magnet is disposed on the first sliding member 2122, and the movement direction and movement distance of the first sliding member 2122 may be controlled by powering off and on.

[0100] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 22 includes:

[0101] The first support frame 221 has one end fixedly connected to the top of the first sliding member 2122;

[0102] The second slide rail 222 is arranged along the height direction of the circumference of the first support frame 221;

[0103] The bearing member 223 is slidably disposed on the second slide rail 222 and connected to the base 31 at one end thereof facing the fixing assembly 5;

[0104] The second driving assembly 224 is disposed on the first supporting frame 221 and can drive the bearing member 223 to move along the second slide rail 222 .

[0105] In one embodiment, the bottom end of the first support frame 221 is fixedly connected to the top of the first sliding member 2122, and the translation of the lifting mechanism 22 is realized by the movement of the first sliding member 2122. A bearing member 223 is provided on the second slide rail 222, and one end of the bearing member 223 is connected to the base 31. The second driving assembly 224 is connected to the bearing member 223 and drives the bearing member 223 to move along the second slide rail 222. The translation mechanism 21 will drive the lifting mechanism 22 to move in the horizontal direction, and the second driving assembly 224 will drive the bearing member 223 to move along the second slide rail 222, that is, move in the vertical direction. Therefore, the base 31 set on the bearing member 223 will also move in the horizontal direction or vertical direction with the bearing member 223, so that the base 31 can move between the fixed assembly 5 and the glue storage mechanism 4 through the lifting mechanism 22 and the translation mechanism 21.

[0106] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the second drive assembly 224 includes:

[0107] The fourth driving member 2241 is disposed on the top of the first supporting frame 221;

[0108] The first screw rod 2242 has one end connected to the driving end of the fourth driving member 2241, and the other end fixedly connected to the bottom of the first support frame 221, and is arranged horizontally in the height direction of the first support frame 221;

[0109] The first screw rod support 2243 is sleeved on the first screw rod 2242, and a corresponding thread is provided on the contact surface with the first screw rod 2242, and one end of the peripheral side is fixedly connected to the bearing member 223;

[0110] A second sliding member 2244, one end of which is slidably disposed on the second slide rail 222, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the bearing member 223;

[0111] In one of the embodiments, the second driving component 224 adopts a threaded screw driving method, and a first screw rod 2242 is provided in the middle of the second slide rail 222, and the two ends of the first screw rod 2242 are connected to the two ends of the first support frame 221, and a fourth driving member 2241 is provided on the top of the first support frame 221, and the driving end of the fourth driving member 2241 passes through the first support frame 221 and is connected to the first screw rod 2242, and a first screw rod support 2243 is sleeved in the middle of the first screw rod 2242, and an opening is provided in the middle of the first screw rod support 2243, and a thread is provided in the opening. When the first screw rod 2242 rotates, the first screw rod support 2243 will move on the first screw rod 2242, that is, rise or fall.

[0112] To ensure that the first screw support 2243 does not rotate away when the fourth driving member 2241 drives the first screw rod 2242 to rotate, a first guide rod is provided at both ends of the first screw support 2243, and the two ends of the first guide rod are respectively fixedly connected to the first support frame 221, and the first guide rod is movably connected to the first screw support 2243 to prevent the first screw support 2243 from rotating away.

[0113] The first guide rods include two first guide rods, which are respectively arranged at two ends of the first screw rod support 2243 to further limit the movement trajectory of the first screw rod support 2243 .

[0114] When the fourth driving member 2241 drives the first screw rod 2242 to rotate, the first screw rod support 224 is threadedly connected to the first screw rod 2242, which will cause the first screw rod support 2243 to descend or rise on the first screw rod 2242. At this time, when the first screw rod support 2243 is about to rotate and deviate, the first guide rod will stop the first screw rod support 2243 from rotating and deviating. Therefore, the first guide rod and the first screw rod support 2243 will rub against each other. In order to reduce the vibration caused by friction and the damage to the friction first guide rod, a friction-reducing ball is provided at the connection between the first screw rod support 2243 and the first guide rod.

[0115] In another embodiment, magnetic levitation force may also be used, a magnet is provided on one side of the second slide rail 222 , and a normally conductive magnet is provided on the first screw support 2243 .

[0116] In another embodiment, the second slide rail 222 is a chain, and the first screw rod support 2243 is provided with a sprocket that cooperates with the chain. The chain rotates to drive the first screw rod support 2243 to move.

[0117] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, the smearing mechanism 3 further includes a third driving assembly 34, and the third driving assembly 34 is used to drive the smearing member 32 to move on the base 31. The third driving assembly 34 includes:

[0118] A fifth driving member 341 is disposed on one side of the base 31, and a driving end thereof passes through the base 31;

[0119] A second screw rod 342 is connected to a driving end of the fifth driving member 341 and has another end rotatably connected to the other side of the base 31;

[0120] A second screw support 343, one end of which is threadedly connected to the second screw 342, and the other end of which is mounted with the first driving member 33 and the smearing member 32;

[0121] The fifth driving member 341 drives the second screw rod 342 to rotate to drive the second screw rod support 343 to move.

[0122] In one embodiment, since the arc surface width of the caster 100 is different, the coating surface of the smear member 32 is not sufficient to completely cover the arc surface of the caster 100. When the arc surface width of the caster 100 is greater than the coating surface of the smear member 32, the arc surface of the caster 100 that exceeds the coating surface of the smear member 32 cannot absorb the adhesive substance, and some components will be detached during subsequent use.

[0123] The other end of the second screw support 343 is equipped with a first driving member 33 and a smearing member 32. When the second screw support 343 drives the first driving member 33 and the smearing member 32 to move along the second screw 342, the smearing surface of the moving member moves relative to the width of the arc surface of the caster 100. For example, when the width of the caster 100 is 8CM, the width of the smearing surface of the moving member is 3CM. During the first smearing, the width of the arc surface of the caster 100 that is not coated with the adhesive substance is 8CM. After the first smearing, the width of the arc surface of the caster 100 that is not coated with the adhesive substance is 5CM. At this time, when the second screw 342 is driven to rotate by the fifth driving member 341, the second screw support 343 will drive the smearing member 32 to move in the width direction of the arc surface of the caster 100. During the movement, the width of the arc surface of the caster 100 that is not coated with the adhesive substance gradually decreases from 5CM to 0CM. That is, during this process, the smearing member 32 gradually smears the adhesive substance onto the arc surface of the caster 100.

[0124] The second screw rod 342 is kept parallel to the convex shaft 51 to ensure that the contact surface of the smearing member 32 abuts against the caster 100 .

[0125] Furthermore, second guide rods are provided on both sides of the second screw rod support 343 for guiding the second screw rod support 343 to move along the second screw rod 342 .

[0126] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, two of the second screw support 343, the first driving member 33 and the smearing member 32 are each provided, a blocking portion is provided in the middle of the second screw 342, and the two second screw supports 343, the first driving member 33 and the smearing member 32 are mirror-imaged at the two ends of the base 31 with the blocking portion as the center, and the gap between the two smearing members 32 is adjustable.

[0127] The two ends of the adsorbent are fixedly connected to the two side surfaces of the smear member 32, and there is a gap between the top of the arc surface of the adsorbent and the smear member 32. Since multiple adsorbents are arranged on the smearing surface of the smear member 32, the smearing surface of the smear member 32 will be covered by multiple adsorbents, and when the smear member 32 contacts the adhesive member 422, the adhesive substance on the adhesive member 422 will be adsorbed by the adsorbent in the gap. When the smear member 32 needs to apply glue to the caster 100 and contacts it, the adsorbent will contact the caster 100, and the adhesive substance in the gap will be squeezed out. This avoids the phenomenon of the adhesive substance dripping everywhere.

[0128] The material of the adsorbent is relatively light, and generally a plastic tape is used. The smear member 32 is in contact with the caster 100, and the adsorbent is pressed against the smear member 32 and the caster 100, and the glue substance in the adsorbent is squeezed out. Because the material of the adsorbent is light, when the smear member 32 applies glue to the caster 100, the adsorbent will not affect the flatness of the surface of the caster 100.

[0129] When the entire process is completed, the scraper 61 needs to clean the surface of the smear member 32 to prevent the glue on the surface of the smear member 32 from solidifying. When the scraper 61 abuts against the smear member 32, the smear member 32 rotates under the action of the first driving member 33. At this time, the scraper 61 squeezes out the glue in the gap between the adsorption member and the smear member 32 and collects it.

[0130] In one embodiment, two of the second screw support 343, the first driving member 33 and the smearing member 32 are provided. The second screw support 343 and the other second screw support 343 are mirror-imaged with the blocking portion as the center. The two smearing members 32 are spaced apart. The two smearing members 32 can apply the adhesive substance to the caster 100 faster and more evenly.

[0131] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the gluing assembly 42 includes:

[0132] The rotating roller 421 has two ends movably connected to the glue storage box 41;

[0133] The glue-applying member 422 is cylindrical, and the arc surface is the dipping surface. The middle part of the glue-applying member 422 is sleeved on the rotating roller 421;

[0134] The sixth driving member 423 is disposed on the supporting platform 1, and the driving end is connected to the rotating roller 421, and is used to drive the rotating roller 421 to rotate;

[0135] One end of the glue scraper 424 is fixedly disposed on the glue storage box 41 , and the other end thereof abuts against the gaps on both sides of the glue applying member 422 .

[0136] In one embodiment, the sixth driving member 423 drives the rotating roller 421 to rotate, and the gluing member 422 is fixedly arranged in the middle of the rotating roller 421. When the sixth driving member 423 drives the rotating roller 421 to rotate, the gluing member 422 also rotates accordingly. The portion of the gluing member 422 immersed in the gluing substance will absorb part of the gluing substance to the gluing surface of the gluing member 422. When the sixth driving member 423 continues to drive the rotating roller 421 to rotate, the gluing surface of the gluing member 422 will be covered with the gluing substance. At this time, the smearing member 32 contacts the gluing member 422, and the gluing substance on the gluing member 422 will be absorbed by the smearing member 32. Since the smearing member 32 and the gluing member 422 are both rotated relative to each other, the gluing substance layer on the smearing member 32 will be relatively flat, and the effect will be better when the smearing member 32 subsequently smears the caster 100.

[0137] Usually, when applying glue to the caster 100, manual or machine processing is adopted. The machine processing is to drip the glue material on the caster 100 or apply it on the parts of the caster 100, and then apply the glue to the entire curved surface of the caster 100 by rotating. However, in this case, there will be a long waiting time for the glue material to drip, uneven application of the glue material, and waste of the glue material.

[0138] Therefore, the above situation can be avoided by evenly applying the adhesive substance to the coating member 32 in advance and then coating the caster 100 .

[0139] In another embodiment, a heating element 425 and a stirrer are further provided in the glue storage box 41. The heating element 425 is arranged at the bottom of the glue storage box 41, and the stirrer is arranged at the circumference of the inside of the glue storage box 41. The heating element 425 is used to heat the glue substance in the glue storage box 41, and the stirrer is used to stir the glue substance in the glue storage box 41. The heating element 425 can be a heating plate laid at the bottom of the glue storage box 41, and the heating plate is a resistance heating. The glue substance in the glue storage box 41 can be heated by energizing the heating plate.

[0140] In another embodiment, the glue storage box 41 is further provided with a stock detector for detecting the remaining content of the glue material in the glue storage box 41. The stock detector can be a weight sensor, which determines the remaining content of the glue material in the glue storage box 41 by weighing the weight of the glue storage box 41, or a scale detector, which sends a signal when the glue material in the glue storage box 41 drops to a certain scale.

[0141] In another embodiment, two gluing assemblies 42 are provided on the supporting platform 1 , and further include a rotating sprocket 426 . The driving end of the sixth driving member 423 is connected to the rotating sprocket 426 , and both ends of the rotating sprocket 426 are respectively connected to the two rotating rollers 421 .

[0142] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a gluing device also includes a protection mechanism 7, which is arranged on the lifting and translation device 2; the protection mechanism 7 includes a first protection component 71 and a second protection component 72, the first protection component 71 is arranged on the sliding surface of the first slide rail 211, and the second protection component 72 is arranged on the sliding surface of the second slide rail 222.

[0143] In one embodiment, the protection mechanism 7 is used to prevent colloid substances, dust and other debris from falling into the lifting and translation device 2 .

[0144] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first protection assembly 71 includes a first folding member, one end of the first folding member is connected to one end of the first slide rail 211, and the other end is connected to one end of the first support frame 221 contacting the first sliding member 2122;

[0145] The second protection assembly 72 includes a second folding member, one end of which is connected to one end of the first support frame 221 , and the other end of which is connected to one end of the bearing member 223 .

[0146] In one embodiment, two first folding members are provided, and the two first folding members jointly cover the first slide rail 211, one end of one first folding member is connected to one end of the first slide rail 211, and the other end of one first folding member is connected to one end of the lifting mechanism 22, one end of the other first folding member is connected to the other end of the lifting mechanism 22, and the other end is connected to the other end of the first slide rail 211. When the lifting mechanism 22 moves along the first slide rail 211 toward one end of the first slide rail 211, the first folding member in the movement direction of the lifting mechanism 22 will be in a compressed state, and the first folding member facing away from the movement direction of the lifting mechanism 22 will be in a telescopic state, so that the two first folding members always cover the first slide rail 211.

[0147] There are two second folding members, and the two second folding members jointly cover the second slide rail 222. One end of a second folding member is connected to one end of the first support frame 221, and the other end of a second folding member is connected to one end of the bearing member 223. One end of the other second folding member is connected to the other end of the bearing member 223, and the other end is connected to the other end of the second slide rail 222. When the bearing member 223 moves along the second slide rail 222 toward one end of the first support frame 221, the second folding member at the movement direction of the lifting mechanism 22 will be in a compressed state, and the second folding member at the direction opposite to the movement direction of the lifting mechanism 22 will be in a telescopic state, so that the two second folding members always cover the second slide rail 222.

[0148] like Figure 6~Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the wheel body gluing device also includes a material changing mechanism 8, the material changing mechanism 8 includes a grabbing assembly 81 and a clamping rod 82, the clamping rod 82 can be extended relative to the grabbing assembly 81, and the clamping rod 82 is a rack; the grabbing assembly 81 includes: a seventh driving member 811, an eighth driving member 812, a ninth driving member and a support rod 813, the seventh driving member 811 and the eighth driving member 812 are arranged with their backs to the driving end of the second driving member 52, and the driving end of the seventh driving member 811 is connected to the support rod 813. The eighth driving member 812 is connected and is used to drive the eighth driving member 812 to rotate. The driving end of the eighth driving member 812 is connected to one end of the support rod 813 and is used to drive the support rod 813 to swing. The other end of the support rod 813 is provided with a through opening 8131 for the passage of the clamping rod 82. The driving end of the ninth driving member is engaged with one end of the clamping rod 82 provided with teeth and is used to drive the clamping rod 82 to reciprocate relative to the support rod 813, and the ninth driving member presses the clamping rod 82 in the through opening 8131.

[0149] In one embodiment, the wheel body gluing device can already glue the caster 100 well. To make the whole process more convenient, a material changing mechanism 8 is also provided. After the caster 100 is glued, the material changing mechanism 8 clamps the glued caster 100, separates it from the convex shaft 51, and transports it to the next process through other equipment. When the caster 100 needs to be assembled on the convex shaft 51, the material changing mechanism 8 clamps the un-glueized caster 100 and installs it on the convex shaft 51.

[0150] The driving end of the seventh driving member 811 is connected to the eighth driving member 812, and the seventh driving member 811 is used to control the rotation of the eighth driving member 812. The driving end of the eighth driving member 812 is connected to the support rod 813, and can control the swing of the support rod 813. One end of the support rod 813 away from the through-hole 8131 is movably mounted on the eighth driving member 812, and the end is provided with arc teeth. The driving end of the eighth driving member 812 is meshed with the support rod 813, so that when the eighth driving member 812 drives the support rod 813, the support rod 813 swings on the eighth driving member 812. One end of the support rod 813 provided with the through-hole 8131 is movably connected to the clamping rod 82. The ninth driving member is arranged on the support rod 813. Since the clamping rod 82 is a rack, one end of which is provided with teeth, the driving end of the ninth driving member is meshed with the clamping rod 82, so as to drive the clamping rod 82 to make a reciprocating motion relative to the support rod 813.

[0151] Wherein, blocking parts are provided at both ends of the clamping rod 82 to prevent the clamping rod 82 from detaching from the support rod 813. When the ninth driving member drives one end of the clamping rod 82 to contact the support rod 813, the blocking part of the clamping rod 82 will abut against the support rod 813 to stop the clamping rod 82 from moving further.

[0152] A ball is provided at the opening 8131 of the support rod 813 , and a sliding groove is provided on one side of the clamping rod 82 . The ball abuts against the support rod 813 and the clamping rod 82 respectively, thereby guiding the clamping rod 82 to move parallelly only at the opening 8131 of the support rod 813 .

[0153] There are multiple support rods 813 and clamping rods 82, preferably three. The three support rods 813 are evenly spaced and installed on the eighth driving member 812.

[0154] When the caster 100 is coated with the adhesive substance, it is necessary to remove the coated caster 100 from the convex shaft 51:

[0155] The ninth driving member drives the clamping member to pass through the inner ring gap of the caster 100, and the eighth driving member 812 drives the support rod 813 to expand the angle of the support rod 813 relative to the eighth driving member 812, so that the other end of the clamping rod 82 with teeth abuts against the caster 100. Therefore, when the three clamping rods 82 are in contact with the caster 100, the ninth driving member will drive the clamping member to move again until the caster 100 is transported to the preset position. The eighth driving member 812 drives the support rod 813 to swing, reducing the angle of the support rod 813 to the eighth driving member 812, and the clamping rod 82 is separated from the caster 100.

[0156] When the caster 100 needs to be assembled and the adhesive material is applied to the caster 100:

[0157] The ninth driving member drives the clamping rod 82 to move, and the clamping rod 82 moves toward the convex shaft 51 until one end of the clamping rod 82 reaches the uncoated caster 100. The eighth driving member 812 drives the support rod 813 to swing, expanding the angle of the support rod 813 relative to the eighth driving member 812, so that the other end of the clamping rod 82 with teeth abuts against the caster 100, and then the ninth driving member drives the clamping rod 82 to retract, so that the center of the caster 100 corresponds to the convex shaft 51. At this time, the seventh driving member 811 rotates, so that the caster 100 is better inserted into the convex shaft 51.

[0158] Among them, since the placement position of the uncoated caster 100 is not fixed, the clamping rod 82 may contact the hub of the caster 100. At this time, the seventh driving member 811 will drive the eighth driving member 812 to rotate, so that the clamping rod 82 avoids the hub of the caster 100.

[0159] In another embodiment, when the caster 100 is coated with adhesive, the clamping rod 82 can always be located at the wheel hub gap of the caster 100, and the seventh driving member 811 and the second driving member 52 rotate at the same frequency.

[0160] In another embodiment, the movement plane of the clamping rod 82 is located below the translation mechanism 21 to avoid the coordination between the translation mechanism 21 and the lifting mechanism 22 .

[0161] In another embodiment, the clamping rod 82 is a telescopic rod, and the ninth driving machine drives the clamping rod 82 to be telescopic. Further, the clamping rod 82 itself can be telescopic.

[0162] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a wheel body production line includes a wheel body molding device, a vulcanizing device, a pouring device, a wheel body conveying device and the above-mentioned wheel body gluing device. The production process of the caster 100 is the wheel body molding device, the wheel body conveying device, the wheel body gluing device and the vulcanizing device, or

[0163] The manufacturing process of the caster 100 is the wheel body molding equipment, wheel body conveying equipment, wheel body gluing equipment and pouring device;

[0164] The wheel body molding equipment is used to mold the caster 100; the wheel body conveying equipment is used to convey the caster 100 between the wheel body gluing equipment, the vulcanizing device and the pouring device; the pouring device is used to apply a glue substance to the caster 100 to form the outer wheel of the caster 100; the vulcanizing device is used to cover the caster 100 with a plastic wheel and solidify the plastic wheel.

[0165] In one embodiment, the production process of the caster 100 is as follows:

[0166] S01: The wheel body forming equipment forms the wheel hub of the caster 100;

[0167] S02: The wheel body conveying device transports the caster 100 to the wheel body gluing device;

[0168] S03: The wheel body gluing device coats the caster 100;

[0169] S04: The wheel conveying device transports the caster 100 to the pouring device;

[0170] S05: The casting device processes the caster 100.

[0171] or:

[0172] S10: The wheel body molding equipment molds the wheel hub of the caster 100;

[0173] S20: The wheel conveying device transports the caster 100 to the wheel gluing device

[0174] S30: The wheel body gluing device applies glue to the caster 100;

[0175] S40: The wheel conveying device transports the caster 100 to the vulcanizing device;

[0176] S50: The vulcanizing device processes the caster 100.

[0177] The wheel body molding device is used to mold the wheel hub of the caster 100. The wheel body molding device includes an injection molding device, a die casting device and a casting device. The injection molding device, the die casting device and the casting device are used to make different casters 100 according to different materials. Therefore, the casters 100 made by the wheel body molding device are also divided into three types, namely, synthetic resin casters 100, alloy casters 100 and iron casters 100.

[0178] The wheel body conveying device conveys the wheel hub of the caster 100 manufactured in the wheel body molding device to the wheel body gluing device. When the caster 100 is coated with a glue substance, the wheel body conveying device conveys the wheel body to the pouring device, or the wheel body conveying device conveys the wheel body to the vulcanizing device. The wheel body conveying device cooperates with the material changing mechanism 8. The clamping rod 82 of the material changing mechanism 8 can cooperate with the wheel body conveying device when it is extended and retracted, and the caster 100 located on the wheel body conveying device is transported to the wheel body gluing device.

[0179] Furthermore, a mechanical arm is provided on the wheel body conveying device, and the caster 100 is installed and removed from the wheel body gluing device, the injection molding device and the vulcanization device through the mechanical arm.

[0180] The wheel body glue coating equipment will apply multiple layers of glue material to the wheel hub of the caster 100, so that the caster 100 outer tire and the caster 100 wheel hub are tightly fitted during the injection process and the vulcanization process.

[0181] Due to different environments, the requirements for the caster 100 are also different, so the casting device and the vulcanizing device process different materials for the caster 100 to form the caster 100 that adapts to the relative environment. For example, the casting device uses plastic to process the caster 100 to form a plastic caster 100, and the plastic caster 100 can be used in daily life environments, such as office chairs and desks, etc.; the vulcanizing device uses rubber to process the caster 100 to form a rubber caster 100, and the rubber caster 100 is generally used in equipment that requires frequent movement and positioning, because the rubber caster 100 has excellent properties such as wear resistance, temperature resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance. Therefore, after the caster 100 hub is covered with a tire, the vulcanizing device will also process the tire (rubber) to solidify it.
