The upper end of the mounting body is connected to the discharge end of the feeding pipe through a conduit (not shown).
[0027] The silicone grease cavity is in the shape of an isosceles triangle, and an inclined platform is provided in the middle of the bottom of the silicone grease cavity. The inclined platform allows the silicone grease to flow obliquely from the silicone grease cavity to the silicone grease coating seam. The inclined platform forms resistance to the flow of silicone grease, causing the silicone grease to flow to both sides of the silicone grease cavity, thereby increasing the uniformity of the flow in the silicone grease cavity.

[0034] Invention point:
[0035] 1. Coating device:
[0036] Glue discharging mechanism: The silicone grease is installed in the feeding pipe, and air pressure is applied to squeeze the silicone grease tube to feed forward. The discharging and stopping of the silicone grease are controlled by opening and closing the discharging mechanism. The silicone grease is squeezed into the coating cutter head and coated on the product surface through the cutter head.
[0037] Coating knife head: According to the characteristics of silicone grease, it is designed as a flat structure, and the width and thickness of the glue outlet are precisely controlled to ensure that the silicone grease can be evenly and accurately coated on the surface of the electric drive motor controller. Through the theory of fluid dynamics, the glue knife head is cleverly designed to ensure that the glue thickness is 0.2mm, and the overall glue is evenly discharged to avoid the situation of thick in the middle and thin on both sides.
[0038] The height difference between the two parts of the cutter head A / B is 0.2mm. After the equipment measures the height by laser, the cutter head moves to the starting position for scraping glue, with one side just touching the surface of the product. With the height difference of 0.2mm, while ensuring the consistency of glue thickness, it prevents glue overflow and backflow back to the coated path.

The flow control unit can monitor the silicone grease flow in real time to ensure a stable spraying effect; the spraying time control unit can adjust the duration of spraying to adapt to controllers of different shapes and sizes.
[0040] 2: Positioning device:
[0041] Mechanical fixture: used to fix the electric drive motor controller in a specified position to ensure that the blade of the coating device can be accurately aligned with the area to be coated.
[0042] Visual positioning: used to detect the position data of the controller and adjust the position of the robot arm through the feedback system to ensure the positioning accuracy during the coating process.
[0043] Laser height measurement: used to detect the height position data of the controller and adjust the Z-axis position of the robot arm through the feedback system to ensure the height accuracy during the coating process to avoid damage to products and equipment and uneven coating.
[0044] 3. Coating uniformity detection device:
[0045] High-precision weight sensor: used to monitor the thickness of the silicone grease coating in real time to ensure the uniformity of the coating.
[0046] Image processing unit: By collecting images of the coating area, the coating layer is analyzed to detect possible uneven thickness or uncoated areas, and the detection results are fed back to the equipment system to adjust the equipment parameters in time.
[0047] 4.Automation control system:
[0048] Central control unit: Integrates the control functions of various components to achieve comprehensive coordinated control of the spraying device, positioning device, coating uniformity detection device and recovery system.
[0049] Human-machine interface: Provides operation interface and parameter setting functions, allowing operators to monitor and adjust the coating process in real time.
[0050] Example:
[0051] In a specific embodiment, the silicone grease coating mechanism of the present invention is applied to a new energy electric drive motor controller production line. After the controller is fixed in the mechanical fixture of the positioning device, the coating device starts to apply silicone grease according to the preset coating parameters. The coating uniformity detection device monitors the coating effect in real time and feeds back to the coating control system for adjustment. After the use of this mechanism, the coating efficiency of the production line has increased by 50%, the silicone grease waste has been reduced by 40%, and the coating uniformity has been significantly improved.
[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
