Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dispensing equipment, and more particularly, to a dispensing equipment. Background Art
[0002] At present, during the laying process of wall tiles and floor tiles in home decoration, a certain gap needs to be left between two adjacent wall tiles and two adjacent floor tiles to prevent the tiles from arching or falling due to thermal expansion and contraction. At the same time, the gap needs to be filled with a grout sealer for sealing to achieve the effects of beautification and waterproofing. With the gradual improvement of living standards, the traditional cement-based grout sealer has been gradually phased out due to its disadvantages such as single color, lack of beauty, water intolerance, dirt intolerance, and easy discoloration (yellowing or blackening) after long-term use. The mainstream products on the market now are resin-based grout sealers refined from a variety of high molecular polymers and high-grade pigments, which have the advantages of high hardness (the grout sealer for tiles is as hard as ceramics after hardening), high flexibility (not easily broken), rich colors (suitable for matching with various color tiles), firm adhesion (not easily falling off, the resin-based grout sealer itself is a special material glue, and after curing, it can be firmly adhered to the substrate and is not easily fallen off), not easily deformed (will not shrink or sink), not easily mildewed or blackened, resistant to washing, water, and dirt.
[0003] In the prior art, in order to improve the aesthetic degree of home decoration, the color customization of resin-based grout sealers (customizing grout sealers that match the tile colors) has become a rigid demand for most homeowners. The color mixing method of grout sealers in the prior art mainly relies on manual mixing. When a customer needs to mix a grout sealer that matches the tiles, the store staff uses a colorimeter to irradiate the surface of the tiles for color measurement. The colorimeter automatically analyzes and transmits the type and quantity information of the required base materials after analysis to the display unit, such as the screen of the colorimeter itself or a mobile phone that communicates with the colorimeter, to form a formula. Then, the staff manually weighs various base materials and color pastes according to the formula and adds them to the same container in sequence. Finally, various materials are stirred evenly in the container to obtain a small sample of the grout sealer.
[0004] However, on the one hand, the above color mixing method is highly dependent on the color mixing experience of the staff. In the actual operation process, it is very easy for the staff to choose the wrong color due to color difference, resulting in the need for the staff to repeatedly mix colors. On the other hand, there is a problem of extremely low efficiency. Even if a specially trained staff member mixes colors, usually only 7 to 8 colors can be mixed well per person per day.

[0060] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0061] To solve the problems of low color matching accuracy and low color matching efficiency in the manual color matching method of caulking agents in the prior art, this embodiment provides a dispensing device.
[0062] As Figures 1 to 24 shown, the dispensing device includes: a frame 100 having a bearing surface 110, the bearing surface 110 being used to bear the storage barrel 200 and having a material injection station 1 and a stirring station 2; a material injection device 300 and a stirring device 400 provided on the frame 100; the material injection device 300 includes a first driving member 310, a colorant storage structure 320 that is movably provided, and a first injection structure 330, the colorant storage structure 320 being used to store colorants, the first injection structure 330 being communicated with the inner cavity of the colorant storage structure 320, and the first injection structure 330 flowing out the colorants in the colorant storage structure 320 by driving to inject colorants into the storage barrel 200; wherein, there are multiple colorant storage structures 320, and the first driving member 310 is drivingly connected to each of the multiple colorant storage structures 320 to drive any one of the colorant storage structures 320 to move above the material injection station 1; the stirring device 400 includes a stirring structure 410 located at the stirring station 2, the stirring structure 410 being provided in a liftable manner to stir the materials in the storage barrel 200 when at least part of the stirring structure 410 moves into the storage barrel 200; a control module, which is connected to both the first driving member 310 and the first injection structure 330, and the control module controls the first driving member 310 to be turned on or off and controls the first injection structure 330 to be turned on or off based on a preset color matching formula.
[0063] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the frame 100 of the dispensing device has a bearing surface 110, which is used to bear the storage barrel 200 and has a material injection station 1 and a stirring station 2. The material injection device 300 includes a first driving member 310, a movable colorant storage structure 320 and a first injection structure 330. The colorant storage structure 320 is used to store colorants. The first injection structure 330 is communicated with the inner cavity of the colorant storage structure 320. The first injection structure 330 drives the colorant in the colorant storage structure 320 to flow out to inject the colorant into the storage barrel 200. Among them, there are multiple colorant storage structures 320. The first driving member 310 is drivingly connected to multiple colorant storage structures 320 to drive any one of the colorant storage structures 320 to move above the material injection station 1. The stirring device 400 includes a stirring structure 410 located at the stirring station 2. The stirring structure 410 is arranged to be liftable so as to stir the materials in the storage barrel 200 when at least part of the stirring structure 410 moves into the storage barrel 200. The control module is connected to both the first driving member 310 and the first injection structure 330. The control module controls the first driving member 310 to be turned on or off and controls the first injection structure 330 to be turned on or off based on a preset color mixing formula. In this way, when the staff operates the color recognition device to recognize the color of the tile to be pasted and obtains the color mixing formula, the color mixing formula can be input into the control module of the dispensing device. Since the multiple colorant storage structures 320 in this embodiment can store multiple different colors of colorants, the control module can control the first driving member 310 to drive the colorant storage structure 320 storing the corresponding color to move above the material injection station 1 in sequence according to the color mixing formula, and synchronously control the on / off state of the first injection structure 330 to realize the control of the injection amount of the corresponding color of the colorant, thereby avoiding the phenomena of color recognition error and injection amount error caused by manual color mixing. At the same time, the stirring device 400 can realize the automatic stirring and mixing between the colorant and the base material, and the efficiency is much higher than that of manual stirring, thus solving the problem that the color mixing accuracy and color mixing efficiency of the existing manual color mixing method for sealants are both relatively low, and improving the color mixing efficiency of the sealant.
[0064] Specifically, inputting the color mixing formula into the control module of the dispensing device can form a preset color mixing formula.
[0065] In this embodiment, the storage barrel 200 is a pressure cylinder.
[0066] In this embodiment, a handle 220 is provided on the storage barrel 200 to facilitate the staff to carry the storage barrel 200.
[0067] Such as Figures 1 to 10As shown, the material injection device 300 further includes a carrier assembly 340. The carrier assembly 340 is located above the carrier surface 110. The carrier assembly 340 includes: a rotatably arranged carrier structure 341, the colorant storage structure 320 is arranged on the carrier structure 341, and the first driving member 310 is drivingly connected to the carrier structure 341 for driving the carrier structure 341 to drive the colorant storage structure 320 to move. In this way, in this embodiment, in fact, the carrier structure 341 drives a plurality of colorant storage structures 320 to rotate to adjust the colorant storage structure 320 located above the material injection station 1. The above setting not only can reduce the volume occupied by the plurality of colorant storage structures 320 during the switching process, realizing the miniaturized design of the dispensing device, but also makes the switching method of the plurality of colorant storage structures 320 simpler, easier to process and implement.
[0068] As Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the colorant storage structure 320 includes: a colorant storage main body 321 having a colorant storage cavity for storing colorants; a stirring structure 322 having a stirring part 3221 located in the colorant storage cavity. The stirring structure 322 is rotatably arranged so that during the rotation of the stirring structure 322, the colorants in the colorant storage main body 321 are stirred by the stirring part 3221. In this way, by stirring the colorants in the colorant storage cavity by the stirring part 3221, the problem that the color of the bottom colorant is darker caused by the sedimentation of the color masterbatch in the colorant can be avoided, and thus it is ensured that the required color can be accurately formed after mixing a variety of colorants, improving the color matching accuracy of the dispensing device.
[0069] In this embodiment, the colorant storage main body 321 is in a cylindrical structure.
[0070] As Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, the carrier assembly 340 further includes: a fixing structure 342 disposed on the frame 100, a first driving member 310 disposed on the fixing structure 342, a carrier structure 341 disposed on the driving end of the first driving member 310, and an installation gap 3421 is formed around between the fixing structure 342 and the carrier structure 341; a first annular rack 343 disposed on the fixing structure 342, and the first annular rack 343 is disposed around the rotation axis of the carrier structure 341 and is located within the installation gap 3421. Among them, the stirring structure 322 further has a gear member 3222 located outside the colorant storage structure 320, the carrier structure 341 has an avoidance hole 3411, and the gear member 3222 extends into the installation gap 3421 through the avoidance hole 3411 and meshes with the first annular rack 343, so as to drive the stirring structure 322 to rotate through the cooperation of the first annular rack 343 and the gear member 3222 during the process of the carrier structure 341 driving the colorant storage structure 320 to rotate. In this way, while the first driving member 310 drives the carrier structure 341 to drive the colorant storage structure 320 to switch the colorant storage structure 320 for injection, the stirring structure 322 can be synchronously driven to rotate through the meshing between the first annular rack 343 and the gear member 3222, so as to stir the colorant in the colorant storage structure 320, that is, the stirring structure 322 in this embodiment does not need to be additionally provided with a corresponding driving member and its stirring action can be synchronized with the switching of the colorant storage structure 320. At the same time, the setting of the installation gap 3421 makes the structure of the carrier structure 341 more compact and reasonable, which helps to realize the miniaturization setting of the carrier assembly 340.
[0071] In this embodiment, the fixing structure 342 is integrally plate-shaped and is horizontally fixed on the frame 100.
[0072] Specifically, corresponding through holes are provided on the fixing structure 342, the first driving member 310 is disposed on the lower plate surface of the fixing structure 342, and its driving end extends above the fixing structure 342 through the through hole, and the carrier structure 341 is provided with corresponding connection holes to be sleeved on the driving end of the first driving member 310.
[0073] In this embodiment, the colorant storage structure 320 is integrally vertically disposed on the carrier structure 341.
[0074] In this embodiment, the stirring part 3221 is a blade-shaped structure, the stirring structure 322 further includes a rod-shaped main body 3223, the rod-shaped main body 3223 is rotatably penetrated through the colorant storage main body 321, the stirring part 3221 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped main body 3223, and the gear member 3222 is sleeved on one end of the rod-shaped main body 3223 located outside the colorant storage cavity.
[0075] Optionally, the first driving member 310 is a servo motor.
[0076] As shown Figures 1 to 7 in the figure, the bearing structure 341 is in a plate shape. The bearing assembly 340 further includes: a support structure 346 disposed on the fixed structure 342. The support structure 346 has a rotatably disposed support portion 3461. There are at least two support portions 3461. At least two support portions 3461 are oppositely disposed to form a support space therearound. At least a part of the bearing structure 341 is located within the support space. At least a part of the support portion 3461 is in contact with the bearing structure 341 during the rotation process of the bearing structure 341. Among them, there are multiple support structures 346, and the multiple support structures 346 are spaced around the bearing structure 341. In this way, the setting of the support structure 346 can support and guide the bearing structure 341 through the rotatably disposed support portion 3461 during the rotation process of the bearing structure 341, so as to improve the rotation smoothness of the bearing structure 341 and prevent the bearing structure 341 from tilting.
[0077] In this embodiment, the support structure 346 further includes a mounting body 3462. The mounting body 3462 is in a block shape and is disposed on the fixed structure 342. The support portion 3461 is actually a bearing, and it is rotatably disposed on the mounting body 3462.
[0078] In this embodiment, two support portions 3461 are disposed on the mounting body 3462. The support portions 3461 are spaced along the height direction of the mounting body 3462 to form a support space therearound by the outer surfaces of the bearings of the two support portions 3461.
[0079] In this embodiment, the bearing structure 341 is a disc-shaped structure.
[0080] In this embodiment, there are five support structures 346, and the five support structures 346 are spaced around the bearing structure 341.
[0081] In this embodiment, a second annular rack 344 is further disposed on the bearing structure 341 around the first annular rack 343. The bearing assembly 340 further includes multiple transmission gears 345. One transmission gear 345 is a driving wheel and is sleeved on the driving shaft of the first driving member 310. Another transmission gear 345 is a driven wheel, and the driven wheel is rotatably disposed on the fixed structure 342. The driven wheel meshes with the second annular rack 344. Any number of transmission gears 345 are further disposed between the driving wheel and the driven wheel for transmission. In this way, during the driving process of the first driving member 310, it can not only directly drive the bearing structure 341 to rotate, but also drive the outer ring of the bearing structure 341 to rotate through the meshing transmission between the driving wheel, the driven wheel and the second annular rack 344, so as to ensure higher rotation stability of the bearing structure 341.
[0082] In this embodiment, there are eight colorant storage structures 320. The eight colorant storage structures 320 are arranged at intervals around the bearing structure 341, and correspondingly, there are also eight avoidance holes 3411.
[0083] In this embodiment, there are two first annular racks 343. One first annular rack 343 is located inside the other first annular rack 343. In fact, the eight colorant storage structures 320 form a double-ring structure, and the two first annular racks 343 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two rings of colorant storage structures 320.
[0084] As Figures 1 to 5 and Figures 8 to 13 shown, the first injection structure 330 includes: a valve structure 331, which is arranged on the colorant storage structure 320 and communicates with the inner cavity of the colorant storage structure 320; a pump body structure 332, which is arranged on the valve structure 331. The pump body structure 332 is used to drive the colorant in the colorant storage structure 320 to flow out through the valve structure 331. In this way, through the mutual cooperation between the valve structure 331 and the pump body structure 332, the colorant injection function of the first injection structure 330 and the corresponding control of the injection amount are realized.
[0085] Specifically, the valve structure 331 has a feed hole, a valve cavity, a communication hole and a discharge hole. The feed hole, the communication hole and the discharge hole are all communicated with the valve cavity. The feed hole is communicated with the inner cavity of the colorant storage structure 320, and the discharge hole is communicated with the feed hole through the valve cavity; the pump body structure 332 is arranged at the communication hole. During the process of the pump body structure 332 sucking the medium in the valve cavity, the colorant in the colorant storage device flows out through the feed hole, the valve cavity and the discharge hole in sequence. Among them, both the valve structure 331 and the pump body structure 332 are multiple. The multiple valve structures 331 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple colorant storage structures 320, and the multiple pump body structures 332 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple valve structures 331. In this way, through the sucking actions of the valve structure 331 and the pump body structure 332, the colorant sucking and colorant injection actions of the first injection structure 330 are realized. At the same time, the above setting makes the number of the valve structure 331 and the pump body structure 332 more flexible and diverse to adapt to different working conditions and usage requirements, and also improves the processing flexibility of the staff.
[0086] In this embodiment, there are eight pump body structures 332 and eight valve structures 331. The eight valve structures 331 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the eight colorant storage structures 320, and the eight pump body structures 332 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the eight valve structures 331.
[0087] Optionally, the valve structure 331 is a reflux valve. In this way, the reflux valve can achieve automatic reflux of the coloring material (reflux to the coloring material storage cavity) after the coloring material injection is completed, so as to prevent the coloring material from staying in the relatively small confluence valve for a long time and drying up, resulting in blockage of the valve structure 331.
[0088] As Figures 8 to 10 shown, the pump body structure 332 includes a cylinder block 3321 and a piston rod 3322. One end of the piston rod 3322 located outside the cylinder block 3321 is provided with a first mating portion 3322a. The first injection structure 330 further includes: a first driving structure 333 having a liftable mating structure 3331. The mating structure 3331 has a second mating portion 3331a. One of the first mating portion 3322a and the second mating portion 3331a is a concave portion, and the other is a convex portion. The convex portion and the concave portion are limited and blocked in the lifting movement direction of the mating structure 3331. Wherein, when the first driving member 310 drives any one of the coloring material storage structures 320 to drive the valve structure 331 and the pump body structure 332 located on the coloring material storage structure 320 to move above the material injection station 1, the first mating portion 3322a of the pump body structure 332 cooperates with the second mating portion 3331a. The mating structure 3331 drives the piston rod 3322 to perform lifting movement through the limit stop between the convex portion and the concave portion. In this way, on the one hand, the above setting enables only one first driving structure 333 to be provided in the material injection device 300 to drive the piston rods 3322 of multiple pump body structures 332 corresponding to multiple coloring material storage structures 320 to perform lifting movement (suction action), thereby reducing the number of first driving structures 333 provided and lowering the processing cost of the dispensing equipment. At the same time, the above setting makes the structures of the first mating portion 3322a and the second mating portion 3331a more flexible and diverse to adapt to different working conditions and usage requirements, and also improves the processing flexibility of the staff.
[0089] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a plurality of vertically arranged mounting plates 140 are provided on the frame 100. The plurality of vertically arranged mounting plates 140 divide the internal space of the frame 100 into multiple mounting areas to play a partitioning role. At the same time, horizontally arranged mounting plates 140 are also provided on the mounting plates 140, thereby providing a mounting and fixing foundation for each component.
[0090] It should be noted that the overall structure of the frame 100 is not mandatorily limited in this embodiment and can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual structural requirements and layout methods.
[0091] As Figures 11 to 13As shown, the first mating part 3322a is a protrusion, and the second mating part 3331a is a recess. The mating structure 3331 includes: a main body part 3331b; a protruding part 3331c provided on the main body part 3331b. There are at least two protruding parts 3331c, and at least two protruding parts 3331c are arranged oppositely. A limiting groove formed between the main body part 3331b and the two oppositely arranged protruding parts 3331c is the second mating part 3331a. The limiting groove has a diameter-expanded section 3331d, a limiting section 3331e, and a diameter-reduced section 3331f that communicate with each other. Along the direction from the diameter-expanded section 3331d to the diameter-reduced section 3331f, the groove width of the diameter-expanded section 3331d gradually decreases, and the groove width of the diameter-reduced section 3331f gradually increases. Among them, the protrusion enters the limiting groove through the end opening at the end of the diameter-expanded section 3331d far from the diameter-reduced section 3331f, and the groove wall of the limiting section 3331e is used for limiting and stopping the protrusion. In this way, the above setting of the limiting groove (the second mating part 3331a) makes it easier for the first mating part 3322a to enter the limiting groove, and the processing accuracy requirement is lower, thereby improving the mating reliability between the first mating part 3322a and the second mating part 3331a.
[0092] In this embodiment, the first mating part 3322a is a horizontal circular plate-like structure provided at one end of the piston rod 3322 away from the cylinder block 3321.
[0093] In this embodiment, the loading assembly 340 and the colorant storage structure 320 located on the loading assembly 340 are entirely located on one side of the first driving structure 333. The outer peripheral surfaces of the first mating part 3322a at the opening of the limiting groove are arranged oppositely. During the rotation of the colorant storage structure 320, the edge of the first mating part 3322a extends into the inner groove of the limiting groove.
[0094] As Figures 11 to 13 shown, the first driving structure 333 further includes: a second driving member 3332; a first lead screw nut mechanism 3333. The second driving member 3332 is drivingly connected to the mating structure 3331 through the first lead screw nut mechanism 3333 to drive the mating structure 3331 to perform a lifting motion. In this way, the above setting realizes the lifting motion of the mating structure 3331 through the second driving member 3332 and the first lead screw nut mechanism 3333.
[0095] In this embodiment, the main body part 3331b is integrally a block, and it is threadedly connected to the threaded rod of the first lead screw nut mechanism 3333, so as to drive the main body part 3331b and the protruding part 3331c provided on the main body part 3331b to perform a lifting motion during the process of the second driving member 3332 driving the threaded rod of the first lead screw nut mechanism 3333 to rotate.
[0096] In this embodiment, the second driving member 3332 is a servo motor.
[0097] It should be noted that the driving method for the cooperation structure 3331 is not limited to this, and it can also be directly driven by other driving structures that can achieve linear driving actions, such as cylinders, linear modules, etc.
[0098] In this embodiment, the protruding portions 3331c are plate-shaped and there are two of them. The two protruding portions 3331c are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction on the main body portion 3331b. A limiting groove is formed around between the plate surfaces of the two protruding portions 3331c. The thicknesses of the two protruding portions 3331c are both set to be gradually variable to form a corresponding enlarged diameter section 3331d, a limiting section 3331e, and a reduced diameter section 3331f of the limiting groove.
[0099] In this embodiment, the valve structure 331 further has a torsion rod for controlling the opening or closing of the discharge hole. The torsion rod is movably arranged and has an open position and a closed position. The first injection structure 330 further includes: a valve switch structure 334, which has a turntable portion 3341 and a driving portion 3342 arranged on the turntable portion 3341. The turntable portion 3341 is rotatably arranged, and the driving portion 3342 is arranged at an interval from the rotation axis of the turntable portion 3341; a third driving member 335, which is drivingly connected to the turntable portion 3341 for driving the driving portion 3342 on the turntable portion 3341 to rotate; wherein, when the first driving member 310 drives any one of the colorant storage structures 320 to drive the valve structure 331 and the pump body structure 332 located on the colorant storage structure 320 to move above the material injection station 1, the torsion rod of the valve structure 331 is located on the rotation path of the driving portion 3342, so that when the driving portion 3342 abuts against the torsion rod of the valve structure 331, the torsion rod is driven to move to the open position or the closed position by the driving portion 3342. In this way, the above setting can realize the automatic opening or closing of the valve structure 331 through the valve switch structure 334.
[0100] In this embodiment, the turntable portion 3341 is a circular turntable. One plate surface of the circular turntable faces the colorant storage structure 320, and the driving portion 3342 is a cylindrical structure arranged on this plate surface. After the third driving member 335 drives the turntable portion 3341 to rotate a preset angle, the driving portion 3342 of the cylindrical structure can abut against the torsion rod and drive the torsion rod to rotate, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the valve structure 331.
[0101] In this embodiment, there are two driving portions 3342, and the two driving portions 3342 are arranged oppositely. In this way, the above setting can reduce the rotation angle of the turntable portion 3341 when the driving portion 3342 drives the torsion rod to rotate to realize the opening or closing of the valve structure 331, so as to improve the opening / closing response speed of the valve structure 331.
[0102] Optionally, the third driving member 335 is a servo motor.
[0103] In this embodiment, the control module is connected to both the second driving member 3332 and the third driving member 335. When the control module controls the second driving member 3332 to be turned on to drive the piston rod 3322 to rise and controls the third driving member 335 to be turned on to drive the driving part 3342 to drive the torsion rod to move to the open position, the first injection structure 330 is opened to inject coloring material into the storage barrel 200. In this way, the above setting can realize the automatic opening of the first injection structure 330 through the control module.
[0104] In this embodiment, when the control module controls the second driving member 3332 to be turned off to control the piston rod 3322 to stop moving and controls the third driving member 335 to be turned on to drive the driving part 3342 to drive the torsion rod to move to the closed position, the first injection structure 330 is closed.
[0105] As Figures 11 to 13 shown, the material injection device 300 further includes: a fourth driving member 351; a receiving box 352 which is movably arranged, and the fourth driving member 351 is drivingly connected to the receiving box 352 to drive the receiving box 352 to move. The receiving box 352 has an avoidance position and a receiving position. When the receiving box 352 is in the receiving position, at least part of the receiving box 352 is located on the flow path of the coloring material to receive the coloring material; when the receiving box 352 is in the avoidance position, the receiving box 352 avoids the flow path of the coloring material. In this way, when the receiving box 352 is in the receiving position, it can receive the coloring material to prevent the coloring material remaining at the valve port from dripping into the storage barrel 200 and affecting the amount of coloring material in the storage barrel 200, and thus can ensure that the dispensing device has high color mixing accuracy. At the same time, when the receiving box 352 is in the avoidance position, it can avoid the flow path of the coloring material, thereby ensuring that the coloring material can flow smoothly into the storage barrel 200.
[0106] In this embodiment, the fourth driving member 351 can be a driving structure capable of realizing a linear driving action (such as a cylinder), or a servo motor, which cooperates with a transmission structure (such as a crank-slider mechanism) to realize a linear driving action.
[0107] As Figures 1 to 5 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, the material injection device 300 further includes a second injection structure 360 and a base material storage assembly 370. The second injection structure 360 is located above the material injection station 1. The base material storage assembly 370 includes a base material storage structure 371 and a sealing cover 372 disposed within the base material storage structure 371. A base material storage cavity is formed around between the inner cavity wall of the base material storage structure 371 and the sealing cover 372. The base material storage cavity is communicated with the second injection structure 360 through a pipeline. Wherein, the sealing cover 372 is movably arranged to adjust the volume of the base material storage cavity. During the process of reducing the volume of the base material storage cavity, the base material located within the base material storage cavity moves through the pipeline into the second injection structure 360. The second injection structure 360 is used to inject the base material into the storage barrel 200. Thus, on the one hand, the driving flow of the base material is realized through the pressing action of the sealing cover 372; on the other hand, the injection action of the base material is realized through the second injection structure 360.
[0108] In this embodiment, the base material storage structure 371 is a cylindrical pressure cylinder.
[0109] As Figure 14 and Figure 15 shown, the sealing cover 372 includes: a cover body main body 3721 having a communication port 3722, and the communication port 3722 is communicated with the second injection structure 360 through a pipeline; a sealing structure 3723 disposed around the cover body main body 3721, and the sealing structure 3723 is used to seal the gap between the cover body main body 3721 and the base material storage structure 371. Thus, the sealing structure 3723 can seal the gap between the sealing cover 372 and the base material storage structure 371 to prevent the base material from overflowing during the downward pressing process of the sealing cover 372, thereby improving the sealing reliability of the sealing cover 372. At the same time, the setting of the communication port 3722 realizes the communication between the base material storage cavity and the second injection structure 360.
[0110] In this embodiment, the sealing structure 3723 is a sealing ring.
[0111] In this embodiment, the shape of the cover body main body 3721 matches the shape of the base material storage structure 371.
[0112] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the frame 100 includes a frame structure 120 and a fixing frame 130 disposed on the frame structure 120.
[0113] As Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown in the figure, the fixing bracket 130 includes a base 131 and a frame member 132 disposed on the base 131. The base material storage structure 371 is disposed on the frame 100 and within the frame member 132. The base material storage structure 371 has a first clamping structure 3711, and the base 131 has a second clamping structure 1311. One of the first clamping structure 3711 and the second clamping structure 1311 is a clamping protrusion, and the other of the second clamping structure 1311 and the first clamping structure 3711 is a clamping recess. The clamping protrusion extends into the clamping recess and is in clamping cooperation with the clamping recess. Among them, the material injection device 300 further includes a fifth driving member 380. The fifth driving member 380 is disposed on the fixing bracket 130 and is drivingly connected to the sealing cover 372 through a second lead screw nut mechanism 381 for driving the sealing cover 372 to move up and down. In this way, on the one hand, the lifting movement of the sealing cover 372 is realized through the fifth driving member 380, and thus the pressing action of the sealing cover 372 is realized; on the other hand, the clamping cooperation between the first clamping structure 3711 and the second clamping structure 1311 not only ensures high fixing reliability of the base material storage structure 371, but also facilitates the staff to disassemble the base material storage structure 371 to re-add the base material.
[0114] In this embodiment, the frame 100 further includes a frame structure 120. The fixing bracket 130 and the base material storage structure 371 are both disposed inside the frame structure 120 to reduce the overall volume of the dispensing device. The plate-shaped carrier 134, the mounting plate 140, and the mounting frame 150 are all disposed on the frame structure 120 and above the frame structure 120 to form corresponding mounting areas.
[0115] In this embodiment, an outer housing is also attached to the outer surface of the frame 100 to protect various devices on the frame 100 and make the appearance of the dispensing device more beautiful.
[0116] In this embodiment, the fifth driving member 380 is a servo motor, which cooperates with the second lead screw nut mechanism 381 to realize the lifting movement of the sealing cover 372.
[0117] It should be noted that the fifth driving member 380 can also be other driving structures capable of realizing linear driving actions (such as cylinders) to directly drive the sealing cover 372 to move up and down.
[0118] In this embodiment, the first clamping structure 3711 is a clamping protrusion, and the second clamping structure 1311 is a clamping recess.
[0119] Specifically, the first clamping structure 3711 is an annular flange provided on the base material storage structure 371 (cylindrical pressure cylinder), and the second clamping structure 1311 is an L-shaped member provided on the base 131. The annular flange extends into the opening between the L-shaped member and the base 131 for clamping.
[0120] As Figures 11 to 13 shown, the second injection structure 360 includes: a base material injection valve 361 having a valve stem 3611 that is movably arranged. The valve stem 3611 has a closed position and an open position. When the valve stem 3611 is in the closed position, the discharge port of the base material injection valve 361 is closed; when the valve stem 3611 is in the open position, the base material injection valve 361 injects the base material into the storage barrel 200. Among them, when the valve stem 3611 is in different open positions, the magnitude of the base material injection flow rate of the base material injection valve 361 is different. In this way, the above setting enables the base material injection valve 361 to inject the base material into the storage barrel 200 at different flow rates, so as to adapt to different working conditions and usage requirements, and also improves the flexibility of use for the staff.
[0121] As Figures 11 to 13 shown, the open position includes a first open position and a second open position. The second injection structure 360 further includes: a sixth driving member 362 drivingly connected to the valve stem 3611. The sixth driving member 362 is used to drive the valve stem 3611 to move so as to switch the valve stem 3611 to the closed position, the first open position or the second open position; among them, the control module is also connected to both the fifth driving member 380 and the sixth driving member 362. When the control module controls the fifth driving member 380 to open to drive the base material in the base material storage chamber to flow towards the second injection structure 360 and controls the sixth driving member 362 to open to drive the valve stem 3611 to move to the first open position or the second open position, the second injection structure 360 is opened to inject the base material into the storage barrel 200. In this way, the control module can not only control the opening or closing of the second injection structure 360 by controlling the opening or closing of the sixth driving member 362 and the fifth driving member 380, but also further control the injection flow rate of the base material injection valve 361 through the sixth driving member 362 to control the injection flow rate of the base material.
[0122] In this embodiment, when the valve stem 3611 is in the first open position, the base material injection valve 361 injects the base material into the storage barrel 200 at a first flow rate; when the valve stem 3611 is in the second open position, the base material injection valve 361 injects the base material into the storage barrel 200 at a second flow rate.
[0123] In this embodiment, the sixth driving member 362 is a driving cylinder, which is drivingly connected to the valve stem 3611 through a coupling to drive the valve stem 3611 to move.
[0124] It should be noted that the structure of the sixth driving member 362 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to the working conditions and usage requirements. For example, the sixth driving member 362 can also adopt a servo motor cooperating with a lead screw nut structure to achieve its linear driving action.
[0125] In this embodiment, when the control module controls the sixth driving member 362 to drive the valve stem 3611 to move to the closed position and controls the fifth driving member 380 to stop running, the second injection structure 360 is closed, and the injection of the base material into the storage barrel 200 is stopped.
[0126] It should be noted that the actual structure of the base material injection valve 361 can refer to the patent document with the publication number CN202123449705.6.
[0127] In this embodiment, there are two base material storage structures 371 and two base material injection valves 361. The two base material storage structures 371 and the two base material injection valves 361 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence so that the dispensing device can inject two different base materials.
[0128] It should be noted that the number of the base material storage structures 371 and the base material injection valves 361 is not limited to this, and can be adjusted accordingly according to the working conditions and usage requirements.
[0129] Such as Figures 1 to 5 and Figures 16 to 18As shown in the figure, a plate-shaped carrier 134 is provided on the frame 100. The plate-shaped carrier 134 is located at the material injection station 1, and a part of the bearing surface 110 is formed by one plate surface of the plate-shaped carrier 134. The plate-shaped carrier 134 has a through hole. The dispensing device further includes a weighing device 500, and the weighing device 500 includes: a bearing plate 510; a seventh driving member 520, which is arranged on the other plate surface of the plate-shaped carrier 134. The seventh driving member 520 is drivingly connected to the bearing plate 510 for driving the bearing plate 510 to move up and down; a weighing structure 530, which is arranged on the bearing plate 510, and the weighing structure 530 has an abutting convex portion 540. Wherein, during the process that the seventh driving member 520 drives the bearing plate 510 to drive the weighing structure 530 to move up and down, at least a part of the abutting convex portion 540 extends out through the through hole and abuts against the bottom surface of the storage barrel 200 to weigh the mass of the storage barrel 200. The control module is also connected to the weighing structure 530, and when the weighing value of the weighing structure 530 reaches the corresponding weight value of the preset color mixing formula, the control module controls the first injection structure 330 to close; and / or controls the second injection structure 360 to close. In this way, on the one hand, the above setting realizes the weight weighing of the storage barrel 200 through the weighing structure 530, that is, during the process that the first injection structure 330 and the second injection structure 360 inject the corresponding weights of colorants and base materials according to the color mixing formula, the weighing structure 530 can weigh the weight of the storage barrel 200 to judge whether the currently injected colorant or base material has reached the required amount of the color mixing formula, and then control the opening and closing states of the first injection structure 330 and the second injection structure 360 to realize the precise regulation of the injection amount of the colorant / base material. At the same time, the above setting can also realize the intermittent detection of the weighing structure 530, that is, the seventh driving member 520 drives the bearing plate 510 and the weighing structure 530 located on the bearing plate 510 to move up and down, so that when the weighing structure 530 does not need to be detected, the abutting convex portion 540 falls from the through hole to ensure the flatness of the plate surface (bearing surface 110) of the plate-shaped carrier 134, and thus it is convenient for the staff to carry the storage barrel 200.
[0130] In this embodiment, the seventh driving member 520 is a driving cylinder.
[0131] It should be noted that the structure of the seventh driving member 520 is not limited to this, and it can be adjusted according to the working conditions and usage requirements. For example, a linear driving action can be realized by a servo motor cooperating with a lead screw nut structure.
[0132] It should be noted that the dispensing device in this embodiment may not be provided with the weighing device 500. For example, a valve with flow regulation and control functions can be used to control the injection amount of the dosage / colorant by controlling the injection size of the flow rate and the injection time size.
[0133] In this embodiment, the abutting protrusion 540 is formed by a U-shaped bracket disposed on the weighing structure 530 , the open end of the U-shaped bracket is disposed on the weighing structure 530 , and the upper surface of the U-shaped bracket is used to abut against the storage barrel 200 .
[0134] Optionally, in the initial state, the weighing structure 530 descends, and its abutting protrusion 540 does not extend from the through hole, and the bearing surface 110 is flat as a whole. When the staff places the storage barrel 200 and presses the start button, the weighing structure 530 rises, and the abutting protrusion 540 abuts against the storage barrel 200 to start weighing. When the control module controls the first injection structure 330 to open, it will synchronously receive the detection signal of the weighing structure 530. When the weight increase of the storage barrel 200 reaches the required value of the current formula of the injected colorant, the control module controls the first injection structure 330 to close, that is, the injection process of the current formula colorant is completed. The base material injection process is similar to the above and will not be repeated here.
[0135] like Figures 1 to 5 and Figures 19 to 21 As shown, the stirring device 400 further includes: an eighth driving member 420, which is drivingly connected to the stirring structure 410 to drive the stirring structure 410 to rotate, and the eighth driving member 420 is arranged to be liftable; a ninth driving member 430, which is drivingly connected to the eighth driving member 420, and the ninth driving member 430 is used to drive the eighth driving member 420 to drive the stirring structure 410 to move up and down; wherein the stirring structure 410 has a stirring position and an avoidance position, when the stirring structure 410 is in the stirring position, at least part of the stirring structure 410 extends into the storage barrel 200; when the stirring structure 410 is in the avoidance position, the stirring structure 410 avoids the storage barrel 200. In this way, the above arrangement not only realizes the rotation movement of the stirring structure 410 to realize its stirring function through the mutual cooperation between the eighth driving member 420 and the ninth driving member 430, but also realizes the lifting action of the stirring structure 410, so that after the stirring of the stirring structure 410 is completed, it is controlled to rise to the position of avoiding the storage barrel 200, so that the storage barrel 200 continues to move to the next station.
[0136] In this embodiment, the eighth driving member 420 is a servo motor.
[0137] In this embodiment, the ninth driving member 430 is a linear module, which is arranged on the frame 100 and its driving end is connected to the eighth driving member 420 through the connecting frame 450. A guide rail slider assembly 460 is also arranged between the connecting frame 450 and the frame 100 to guide the movement direction of the connecting frame 450 (that is, the movement direction of the eighth driving member 420) to ensure that the stirring structure 410 arranged on the eighth driving member 420 has high movement stability.
[0138] like Figures 9 to 21As shown in the figure, the stirring device 400 further includes: a sealing cover 440, which is arranged on the eighth driving member 420 and moves up and down synchronously with the eighth driving member 420; when the stirring structure 410 is in the stirring position, the sealing cover 440 covers the storage barrel 200 and forms a sealed cavity around the storage barrel 200; wherein, a suction port 441 and a pressure detection device 442 are arranged on the sealing cover 440, the pressure detection device 442 is used to detect the gas pressure value in the sealed cavity, and the suction port 441 is communicated with a suction device to perform a negative pressure pumping process on the sealed cavity through the suction device. In this way, through the cooperation of the sealing cover 440 and the suction port 441, vacuum stirring of the colorant base material (stirring operation under negative pressure) can be achieved. On the one hand, the mixing uniformity between various colorants and the base material is further improved; on the other hand, it is beneficial to the precipitation of gas in the colorant base material, thereby improving the quality of the finished product. At the same time, by setting the pressure detection device 442, it can assist the staff in judging whether the storage barrel 200 is in a vacuum state.
[0139] Optionally, the pressure detection device 442 is a pressure sensor or a pressure gauge.
[0140] Optionally, the suction device is a vacuum generator.
[0141] Specifically, the control module can also be connected to the eighth driving member 420, the ninth driving member 430, the vacuum generator and the pressure detection device 442. That is, when the staff moves the storage barrel 200 filled with colorants and the base material to the stirring station, the stirring start key can be pressed, and the control module will control the on-off states of the eighth driving member 420 and the ninth driving member 430 to control the stirring structure 410 to first descend into the storage barrel 200. After descending in place, the vacuum generator is controlled to start and evacuate the air until the detected value of the pressure detection device 442 reaches the preset value, and then the eighth driving member 420 is controlled to drive the stirring structure 410 to rotate and stir. After a preset time t, the stirring structure 410 rises back to the original position to realize the automatic movement of the stirring action.
[0142] Such as Figures 1 to 5 and Figures 22 to 24As shown, the dispensing device further has a filling station 3. A filling connection member 210 communicating with the inner cavity is provided on the storage barrel 200. The filling connection member 210 is used to connect with the member to be filled. The dispensing device further includes a filling device 600 provided on the frame 100. The filling device 600 includes: a pressing structure 610 located at the filling station 3, and the pressing structure 610 is arranged to be liftable; a tenth driving member 620, which is drivingly connected to the pressing structure 610 through a third lead screw nut mechanism 630 to drive the pressing structure 610 to perform a lifting motion. When the pressing structure 610 moves into the storage barrel 200 and presses the stirred material, the material flows into the member to be filled through the filling connection member 210. In this way, the above arrangement also enables the dispensing device to achieve automatic filling, that is, after the storage barrel 200 after the coloring base material is stirred moves to the filling station, the tenth driving member 620 can drive the pressing structure 610 to move into the storage barrel 200 and press it, so that the stirred material flows into the member to be filled through the filling connection member 210 to achieve automatic filling.
[0143] In this embodiment, the tenth driving member 620 is a servo motor.
[0144] It should be noted that the structure of the tenth driving member 620 is not limited to this, and can be adjusted according to the working conditions and usage requirements, such as other driving structures that can achieve linear driving actions like a driving cylinder.
[0145] In this embodiment, the filling connection member 210 is a tubular member, and corresponding connection structures can be provided at its end to achieve the connection between the filling connection member 210 and the member to be filled.
[0146] In this embodiment, the pressing structure 610 is a disc-shaped structure, and corresponding sealing structures (such as sealing rings) are provided on its outer peripheral surface to seal between the pressing structure 610 and the barrel wall of the storage barrel 200.
[0147] In this embodiment, a conveying assembly 700 is further provided on the frame 100. The conveying assembly 700 is located on one side of the plate-shaped carrier 134. In fact, the plate surface of the plate-shaped carrier 134 forms a material injection station 1. The conveying assembly 700 is horizontally arranged as a whole and forms a stirring station 2 and a filling station 3 through a plurality of roller shafts 710, so as to reduce the resistance and the transfer difficulty of the staff during the process of the staff transferring the storage barrel 200 towards the stirring station 2 and the filling station 3.
[0148] In this embodiment, each roller shaft 710 is a passive rotating member without an active driving structure to drive its rotation.
[0149] Specifically, the detailed usage method of the dispensing device in this embodiment is described:
[0150] After the customer selects the tiles in the store, the staff can select the colorant mixing formula data corresponding to the selected tiles in the mixing equipment (if the tiles are not in the store, the color of the tiles can also be identified by the color recognition device to generate a mixing formula, and then the new mixing formula is input into the control module of the mixing equipment), and place the storage barrel 200 at the material injection station 1. The control module selects the types of base materials, the masses of various base materials, the types of color pastes, and the quantities of various color pastes required according to the mixing formula and controls the overall operation to start. That is, the first driving member 310 drives the selected colorant storage structure 320 on the carrier structure 341 to move to directly above the material injection station 1 according to the formula (corresponding discharge through holes will be provided on the outer housing). At the same time, the second matching portion 3331a of the matching structure 3331 cooperates with the first matching portion 3322a of the pump body structure 332, and the second driving member 3332 drives the piston rod 3322 to perform a pulling action to suck the colorant from the colorant storage structure 320 into the valve structure 331. At the same time, the third driving member 335 controls the driving portion 3342 of the valve switch structure 334 to rotate to open the valve port of the valve structure 331, and the second driving member 3332 drives the piston rod 3322 to perform a pressing action, and the colorant is injected into the storage barrel 200 from the valve port. When the injection of this colorant is completed, the receiving box 352 moves to the corresponding position to receive the residual dripping colorant. The first driving member 310 then drives the next selected colorant storage structure 320 on the carrier structure 341 to move to directly above the material injection station 1 according to the formula and repeats the above process until the injection of the colorant is completed. Start injecting the base material. The base material is relatively viscous and needs to be transported by relying on a large pressure. That is, rely on the fifth driving member 380 to drive the sealing cover 372 to press down to ensure that the base material enters the pipeline under the action of a large pressure. At the same time, the sixth driving member 362 drives the valve rod 3611 to move to open the valve port of the base material injection valve 361, and the base material in the pipeline is injected into the storage barrel 200 from the base material injection valve 361. During the injection process of the above-mentioned colorant / base material, the weighing device 500 weighs the weight of the storage barrel 200 in real time to ensure that the injection amounts of the colorant and the base material are highly accurate.After the injection of the colorant / base material is completed, the staff manually move the storage barrel 200 along the conveying assembly 700 to the stirring station 2. The control module controls the ninth driving member 430 to drive the eighth driving member 420 to move downward along the guide rail slider assembly 460 until the sealing cover 440 covers the storage barrel 200, and the stirring structure 410 synchronously extends into the storage barrel 200. Then, the vacuum pump (vacuum generator) performs a vacuuming operation. When the pressure value displayed on the pressure gauge reaches the required vacuum degree, the eighth driving member 420 starts the stirring operation. Through this step, the base material and the colorant are evenly stirred, and the bubbles in the mixture are discharged. After the stirring is completed, the vacuum pump stops working, air enters the storage barrel 200, and the vacuum state in the storage barrel 200 is released. The ninth driving member 430 drives the eighth driving member 420 to move upward along the guide rail slider assembly 460. At this time, the staff continue to manually push the storage barrel 200 carrying the finished product to the filling station 3. The staff manually connect the filling connector 210 to the discharge valve at the bottom of the storage barrel 200 and open the discharge valve. Then, the control module controls the tenth driving member 620 to drive the pressing structure 610 to press down. The outer edge of the pressing structure 610 is in airtight contact with the inner wall of the storage barrel 200. Under the action of the pressing structure 610, the finished sealant is ejected from the filling connector 210 and filled into the sealant finished product housing (the part to be filled). It can be seen that the dispensing equipment in this embodiment can not only ensure the accuracy and reliability of the color matching process, but also realize the automatic stirring and filling of the base material / colorant, with extremely high efficiency. During the whole operation process, only a single staff member is required for simple assistance, with extremely low labor intensity, which can effectively reduce the consumption of human resources and the color matching cost.
[0151] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
[0152] The frame of the dispensing device has a bearing surface for bearing the storage bucket, and the bearing surface has a material injection station and a stirring station. The material injection device includes a first driving member, a colorant storage structure that is movably arranged, and a first injection structure. The colorant storage structure is used for storing colorants, the first injection structure is communicated with the inner cavity of the colorant storage structure, and the first injection structure drives the colorants in the colorant storage structure to flow out to inject colorants into the storage bucket. Among them, there are multiple colorant storage structures, and the first driving member is drivingly connected to all the colorant storage structures to drive any one of the colorant storage structures to move above the material injection station. The stirring device includes a stirring structure located at the stirring station, and the stirring structure is arranged to be liftable so as to stir the materials in the storage bucket when at least part of the stirring structure moves into the storage bucket. The control module is connected to both the first driving member and the first injection structure, and the control module controls the opening or closing of the first driving member and the opening or closing of the first injection structure based on a preset color mixing formula. In this way, when the staff operates the color recognition device to recognize the color of the tile to be pasted and obtains the color mixing formula, the color mixing formula can be input into the control module of the dispensing device. Since the multiple colorant storage structures in the present application can store multiple different colors of colorants, the control module can control the first driving member to drive the colorant storage structure storing the corresponding color to move above the material injection station in sequence according to the color mixing formula, and simultaneously control the opening / closing state of the first injection structure to control the injection amount of the corresponding color of the colorant, thereby avoiding the phenomena of color recognition error and injection amount error caused by manual color mixing. At the same time, the stirring device can realize the automatic stirring and mixing between the colorant and the base material, and the efficiency is much higher than that of manual stirring, thus solving the problems of low color mixing accuracy and low color mixing efficiency in the existing manual color mixing method of the caulking agent and improving the color mixing efficiency of the caulking agent.
