Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic pen manufacturing equipment technology, specifically to an automatic magnetic foam adhesive bonding equipment and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] In the automated production process of electronic pens, attaching foam and installing magnets are key assembly steps. The core of these steps lies in achieving precise bonding and reliable installation of the magnets and foam adhesive.
[0003] Currently, this process still relies on manual labor on many production lines. Operators must manually pick up and place magnets, peel off the foam adhesive film, and accurately attach it to the magnet surface before assembling the assembly into the pen body. This manual method of attaching foam magnets is not only inefficient and difficult to improve cycle time, but also prone to problems such as misalignment of the foam adhesive, wrinkles or contamination of the adhesive, reversed magnet polarity, and uneven pressing force due to poor consistency in manual operation. These issues severely affect the electromagnetic induction stability and pressure sensitivity performance of the electronic pen. Furthermore, the high labor intensity and overall cost of manual adhesive application and installation have become a bottleneck restricting the automated and large-scale production of electronic pens.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a device that can automatically complete the adhesive application of magnetic foam to improve production efficiency, ensure product quality, and reduce labor intensity and production costs. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an automatic magnetic foam adhesive bonding equipment and its usage method, which can automatically complete the bonding of foam and the installation of magnets, improve production efficiency, ensure product quality, and reduce labor intensity and production costs.
[0006] This invention provides an automatic magnetic foam adhesive application device, the technical solution of which is: an automatic magnetic foam adhesive application device, comprising:
[0007] A carrier for carrying products, with positioning grooves on its surface for accommodating and positioning the products.
[0008] The product conveying mechanism has a loading end and a unloading end at its two ends, which are used to convey the carrier;
[0009] The mounting station is located between the loading end and the unloading end of the product conveying mechanism;
[0010] A positioning and lifting mechanism is provided at the mounting station to lift the carrier to position the product.
[0011] A magnet supply mechanism, located on one side of the product conveying mechanism, is used to provide magnets;
[0012] A foam adhesive supply mechanism is located on one side of the magnet supply mechanism and is used to supply foam adhesive.
[0013] The product mounting mechanism includes a mounting robot that can move between the mounting station, the magnet supply mechanism, and the foam adhesive supply mechanism. The robot first picks up the magnet from the magnet supply mechanism, then moves to the foam adhesive supply mechanism to pick up the foam adhesive, and finally mounts the magnet with the foam adhesive onto the product at the mounting station.
[0014] Optionally, the product conveying mechanism includes a conveyor frame and two conveyor belts symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor frame, with a gap between the two conveyor belts. The bottom sides of the carrier abut against the two conveyor belts respectively, and the top of the carrier is higher than the conveyor frame. Both sides of the top of the carrier are provided with outwardly extending abutment portions for abutting and cooperating with the positioning and lifting mechanism.
[0015] Optionally, the positioning and lifting mechanism includes positioning frames symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor frame, a limiting plate on the top of the positioning frame, a lifting plate that can be raised and lowered directly below the limiting plate and is used to abut against the contact part of the carrier, and a positioning and lifting cylinder for driving the lifting plate to rise vertically to lift the carrier. The end of the contact part away from the carrier is located between the positioning frame and the conveyor frame, so that when the conveyor belt transports the carrier to the mounting station, the positioning and lifting cylinder drives the lifting plate to rise and can lift the contact part from below and press the contact part against the bottom side of the limiting plate.
[0016] Optionally, a positioning post is provided on the side of the lifting plate near the conveyor frame, and a positioning hole corresponding to the positioning post is provided on the abutment part.
[0017] Optionally, the positioning and lifting mechanism further includes a blocking component located inside the conveyor frame and in the gap between the two conveyor belts;
[0018] The blocking assembly includes a blocking seat fixedly disposed inside the conveyor frame, a first blocking rod and a second blocking rod retractably disposed inside the blocking seat, and a first blocking cylinder and a second blocking cylinder respectively used to drive the first blocking rod and the second blocking rod to rise and fall vertically relative to the blocking seat. The top surface of the blocking seat is provided with a first telescopic hole and a second telescopic hole for the first blocking rod and the second blocking rod to extend or retract respectively.
[0019] When the conveyor belt transports the carrier to the mounting station, the first blocking cylinder drives the first blocking rod to extend out of the top surface of the blocking seat through the first telescopic hole to block the carrier. Then, the second blocking cylinder drives the second blocking rod to extend out of the top surface of the blocking seat through the second telescopic hole to block the carrier from the side away from the first blocking rod.
[0020] Optionally, the magnet supply mechanism includes a magnet fixing frame, a magnet fixing base fixed above the magnet fixing frame, a magnet hopper vertically mounted on the magnet fixing base, a magnet slider slidably mounted at the bottom of the magnet hopper, and a driving assembly for driving the magnet slider to slide relative to the magnet hopper. One end of the magnet fixing base is a magnet supply end. The magnet hopper has a vertical material groove for accommodating multiple magnets. The magnet slider has a magnet slot for receiving magnets from the bottom of the vertical material groove.
[0021] Optionally, the magnet supply mechanism further includes a first ejector assembly disposed at the magnet supply end, the first ejector assembly being used to eject the magnet out of the magnet slot;
[0022] The first ejector assembly includes a first ejector lifting plate that is vertically movable between a magnet fixing frame and a magnet fixing seat, a first ejector pin fixed on the ejector lifting plate, and a first ejector cylinder for driving the first ejector lifting plate to move vertically. The magnet fixing seat and the magnet slider are respectively provided with a first through hole and a second through hole for the first ejector pin to pass through. The second through hole communicates with the magnet groove. A push rod is slidably disposed in the second through hole. The first ejector pin is used to pass through the first through hole and the second through hole and push the push rod to push the magnet out of the magnet groove.
[0023] Optionally, the foam adhesive supply mechanism includes a feeder assembly, a foam adhesive fixing frame, and a foam adhesive CCD component slidably mounted on the foam adhesive fixing frame. The feeder assembly is used to supply foam adhesive, and the foam adhesive CCD component is used to detect the position of the foam adhesive supplied by the feeder assembly.
[0024] Optionally, the automatic magnetic foam adhesive applicator further includes a magnetic CCD component, which is used to detect the position of the magnet on the applicator robot arm;
[0025] When the mounting robot picks up the magnet provided by the magnet supply mechanism and moves to the magnet CCD component, the magnet CCD component detects the position of the magnet relative to the mounting robot. At the same time, the foam adhesive CCD component simultaneously detects the position of the foam adhesive, enabling the mounting robot to accurately adhere the foam adhesive to the magnet.
[0026] This application also provides a method for using an automatic magnetic foam adhesive applicator, applicable to the automatic magnetic foam adhesive applicator described above, comprising the following steps:
[0027] The carrier is transported to the mounting station via a product conveying mechanism;
[0028] The carrier is lifted by a positioning and lifting mechanism to position the products on the carrier.
[0029] The robot arm that drives the product placement mechanism moves to the magnet supply mechanism to pick up the magnets provided by the magnet supply mechanism;
[0030] Drive the mounting robot to move to the foam adhesive supply mechanism to adhere the foam adhesive to the magnet;
[0031] Drive the mounting robot to move to the mounting station and mount the magnet with foam adhesive onto the product;
[0032] The carrier is reset by the positioning and lifting mechanism, and then the product conveying mechanism transports the carrier to the unloading end to complete the unloading.
[0033] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0034] This application provides an automatic magnetic foam adhesive mounting device and its usage method, including a carrier for carrying products, a product conveying mechanism for conveying the carrier, a mounting station, a positioning and lifting mechanism for lifting the carrier to position the product, a magnet supply mechanism for providing magnets, a foam adhesive supply mechanism for providing foam adhesive, and a product mounting mechanism for mounting magnets and foam adhesive. During operation, the product conveying mechanism transports the carrier to the mounting station, and the positioning and lifting mechanism lifts the carrier to ensure the product is in a precise positioning state. Subsequently, the mounting robot of the product mounting mechanism quickly moves to the magnet supply mechanism and accurately picks up a magnet. Next, the mounting robot moves to the foam adhesive supply mechanism and accurately adheres the foam adhesive to the previously picked-up magnet. Afterward, the mounting robot moves again to accurately mount the magnet, now with the foam adhesive applied, to the designated position on the product at the mounting station. Compared to the manual application and installation in existing technologies, this application can automatically complete the attachment of foam and the installation of magnets, which greatly improves production efficiency, ensures product quality, and reduces labor intensity and production costs.

[0054] This embodiment provides an automatic magnetic foam adhesive bonding device, referring to... Figure 1 -and Figure 2 The system includes a body 100, a carrier 10, a product conveying mechanism 20, a mounting station 203, a positioning and lifting mechanism 30, a magnet supply mechanism 40, a foam adhesive supply mechanism 50, a product mounting mechanism 60, and a control mechanism 70. The body 100 has a working compartment inside, and the carrier 10, the product conveying mechanism 20, the mounting station 203, the positioning and lifting mechanism 30, the magnet supply mechanism 40, the foam adhesive supply mechanism 50, and the product mounting mechanism 60 are all located in the working compartment of the body 100.
[0055] The carrier 10 is used to carry the product, and its surface is provided with a positioning groove 11 for accommodating and positioning the product;
[0056] The product conveying mechanism 20 is used to convey the carrier 10. Its two ends are the loading end 201 and the unloading end 202, which correspond to the feed inlet and the discharge outlet on the machine body 100, respectively.
[0057] The mounting station 203 is located between the product loading end 201 and the unloading end 202;
[0058] The positioning and lifting mechanism 30 is located at the mounting station 203 and is used to lift the carrier 10 to position the product.
[0059] The magnet supply mechanism 40 is mounted on the body 100 and located on one side of the product conveying mechanism 20, and is used to provide magnets 401;
[0060] The foam adhesive supply mechanism 50 is located on the body 100, on one side of the magnet supply mechanism 40, and is used to supply foam adhesive.
[0061] The product mounting mechanism 60 is located on the machine body 100 and includes a mounting robot 61. The mounting robot 61 can move between the mounting station 203, the magnet supply mechanism 40, and the foam adhesive supply mechanism 50. It is used to first pick up the magnet 401 at the magnet supply mechanism 40, then move to the foam adhesive supply mechanism 50 to pick up the foam adhesive, and finally mount the magnet 401 with foam adhesive to the product at the mounting station 203.
[0062] The control mechanism 70 is electrically connected to the product conveying mechanism 20, the positioning and lifting mechanism 30, the magnet supply mechanism 40, the foam adhesive supply mechanism 50, and the product mounting mechanism 60, and is used to control the coordinated operation of the above mechanisms.
[0063] During operation, the control mechanism 70 controls the product conveying mechanism 20, the magnet supply mechanism 40, and the foam adhesive supply mechanism 50 to operate, enabling the product conveying mechanism 20 to transport the carrier 10. The magnet supply mechanism 40 and the foam adhesive supply mechanism 50 respectively provide magnets 401 and foam adhesive. When the product conveying mechanism 20 transports the carrier 10 to the mounting station 203, the control mechanism 70 controls the positioning and lifting mechanism 30 to operate and lift the carrier 10, thereby positioning the product. Subsequently, the control mechanism 70 controls the product... The mounting mechanism 60 operates, causing the mounting robot 61 to move to the magnet supply mechanism 40 and pick up the magnet 401 provided by the magnet supply mechanism 40. Then, by driving the mounting robot 61 to the foam adhesive supply mechanism 50, the magnet 401 adsorbed by the mounting robot 61 picks up the foam adhesive provided by the foam adhesive supply mechanism 50. Finally, by driving the mounting robot 61 to the mounting station 203, the mounting robot 61 attaches the magnet 401 with the foam adhesive to the product at the mounting station 203. Compared to traditional manual adhesive application and manual installation of the magnet 401, the mounting equipment provided in this application can automatically complete the attachment of foam and the installation of the magnet 401, greatly improving production efficiency, ensuring product quality, and reducing labor intensity and production costs.
[0064] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The product conveying mechanism 20 includes a conveyor frame 21 and two conveyor belts 22 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor frame 21. A gap is formed between the two conveyor belts 22. The bottom sides of the carrier 10 abut against the two conveyor belts 22 respectively. The top of the carrier 10 is higher than the conveyor frame 21. Both sides of the top of the carrier 10 are provided with outwardly extending abutment portions 12 for abutting and cooperating with the positioning and lifting mechanism 30.
[0065] By adopting the above configuration, the two symmetrically arranged conveyor belts 22 can effectively support the carrier 10, while the gap formed between the two conveyor belts 22 facilitates the operation of other mechanisms and will not interfere with the conveying of the carrier 10. The bottom sides of the carrier 10 abut against the two conveyor belts 22 respectively, so that the carrier 10 is subjected to uniform force during the conveying process and is not prone to deviation or shaking. At the same time, through the cooperation between the abutment part 12 and the positioning and lifting mechanism 30, the positioning and lifting mechanism 30 can smoothly lift the carrier 10, thereby achieving precise positioning of the product.
[0066] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The positioning and lifting mechanism 30 includes positioning frames 31 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor frame 21, a limiting plate 32 located on the top of the positioning frame 31, a lifting plate 33 that can be raised and lowered directly below the limiting plate 32 and is used to abut against the contact part 12 of the carrier 10, and a positioning and lifting cylinder 34 for driving the lifting plate 33 to rise vertically to lift the carrier 10. The end of the contact part 12 away from the carrier 10 is located between the positioning frame 31 and the conveyor frame 21. When the conveyor belt 22 transports the carrier 10 to the mounting station 203, the positioning and lifting cylinder 34 drives the lifting plate 33 to rise and can lift the contact part 12 from below and press the contact part 12 against the bottom side of the limiting plate 32.
[0067] Understandably, when the conveyor belt 22 accurately transports the carrier 10 to the mounting station 203, the positioning lifting cylinder 34 drives the lifting plate 33 to rise vertically. Since the end of the abutment part 12 away from the carrier 10 is located between the positioning frame 31 and the conveyor frame 21, the lifting plate 33 can smoothly lift the abutment part 12 from below during the rising process. As the lifting plate 33 continues to rise, the abutment part 12 is pressed against the bottom side of the limiting plate 32, thereby achieving the positioning of the product on the carrier 10.
[0068] Furthermore, a positioning post 331 is provided on the side of the lifting plate 33 near the conveyor frame 21, and a positioning hole 121 corresponding to the positioning post 331 is provided on the abutment part 12.
[0069] The cooperation between the positioning pin 331 and the positioning hole 121 further improves the stability of the carrier 10 during the lifting process, ensuring accurate positioning of the product on the carrier 10. When the lifting plate 33 rises and moves towards the abutment part 12, the positioning pin 331 inserts into the corresponding positioning hole 121 on the abutment part 12, realizing the alignment of the lifting plate 33 and the abutment part 12. This makes it less likely for the carrier 10 to shift or shake when the lifting plate 33 lifts the carrier 10, thereby ensuring the accuracy of product positioning and the subsequent magnet 401 mounting quality.
[0070] Furthermore, the positioning and lifting mechanism 30 also includes a blocking component 35 located inside the conveyor frame 21 and in the gap between the two conveyor belts 22;
[0071] The blocking assembly 35 includes a blocking seat 351 fixedly disposed inside the conveyor frame 21, a first blocking rod 352 and a second blocking rod 353 retractably disposed inside the blocking seat 351, and a first blocking cylinder 354 and a second blocking cylinder 355 respectively used to drive the first blocking rod 352 and the second blocking rod 353 to vertically rise and fall relative to the blocking seat 351. The top surface of the blocking seat 351 is provided with a first telescopic hole 356 and a second telescopic hole 357 for the first blocking rod 352 and the second blocking rod 353 to extend or retract respectively.
[0072] When the conveyor belt 22 transports the carrier 10 to the mounting station 203, the first blocking cylinder 354 drives the first blocking rod 352 to extend out of the top surface of the blocking seat 351 through the first telescopic hole 356 to block the carrier 10. Then, the second blocking cylinder 355 drives the second blocking rod 353 to extend out of the top surface of the blocking seat 351 through the second telescopic hole 357 to block the carrier 10 from the side away from the first blocking rod 352.
[0073] Understandably, when the conveyor belt 22 transports the carrier 10 to the mounting station 203, the first blocking cylinder 354 first drives the first blocking rod 352 to extend from the top surface of the blocking seat 351, forming an initial block on the carrier 10 to prevent it from continuing to move forward. At this time, the control mechanism 70 controls the conveyor belt 22 to stop working. Subsequently, the second blocking cylinder 355 drives the second blocking rod 353 to extend from the side of the carrier 10 away from the first blocking rod 352, cooperating with the first blocking rod 352 to stably limit the carrier 10 at the mounting station 203, providing a reliable guarantee for the lifting plate 33 to lift and position the carrier 10. At the same time, the setting of the blocking component 35 does not affect the normal operation of the conveyor belt 22. When it is necessary to release the carrier 10, the first blocking cylinder 354 and the second blocking cylinder 355 respectively drive the first blocking rod 352 and the second blocking rod 353 to retract into the blocking seat 351, and the carrier 10 can continue to move with the conveyor belt 22.
[0074] In this embodiment, the blocking assembly 35 comprises two first blocking rods 352, two second blocking rods 353, two first blocking cylinders 354, and two second blocking cylinders 355. The two first blocking rods 352 are respectively located on the left and right sides of one side of the top surface of the blocking seat 351, and the two second blocking rods 353 are also respectively located on the left and right sides of the other side of the top surface of the blocking seat 351. This arrangement provides more stable blocking for the carrier 10, ensuring that the carrier 10 does not shift forward, backward, or left or right at the mounting station 203.
[0075] In this embodiment, at least one buffer station 204 is provided between the loading end 201 of the product conveying mechanism 20 and the mounting station 203. When multiple carriers 10 are continuously conveyed on the conveyor belt 22, the buffer station 204 can temporarily store subsequent carriers 10, allowing them to wait for the previous carrier 10 to complete the mounting operation and leave the mounting station 203 before continuing to be conveyed to the mounting station 203. This effectively avoids the accumulation or collision of multiple carriers 10 at the mounting station 203, ensuring the smooth progress of the mounting process. In addition, the setting of the buffer station 204 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual production needs to meet the requirements of different production rhythms and mounting efficiencies.
[0076] Furthermore, a buffer lifting mechanism 80 is provided at the buffer station 204 to lift and buffer the carrier 10 transported to the buffer station 204. In this embodiment, the buffer lifting mechanism 80 has the same structure as the positioning lifting mechanism 30. In other embodiments, the buffer lifting mechanism 80 may also be configured with other structures, which are not limited here.
[0077] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The magnet supply mechanism 40 includes a magnet fixing frame 41, a magnet fixing base 42 fixed above the magnet fixing frame 41, a magnet hopper 43 vertically disposed on the magnet fixing base 42, a magnet slider 44 slidably disposed at the bottom of the magnet hopper 43, and a drive assembly 45 for driving the magnet slider 44 to slide relative to the magnet hopper 43. One end of the magnet fixing base 42 is a magnet supply end 421. The magnet hopper 43 has a vertical material groove 431 for accommodating multiple magnets 401. The magnet slider 44 has a magnet groove 441 for receiving magnets 401 from the bottom of the vertical material groove 431.
[0078] During operation, the drive assembly 45 drives the magnet slider 44 to move away from the magnet supply end 421, so that the magnet slot 441 on the magnet slider 44 is aligned and connected with the vertical material slot 431. At this time, the magnet 401 at the bottom of the vertical material slot 431 falls into the magnet slot 441 on the magnet slider 44 under the action of gravity. Then, the drive assembly 45 drives the magnet slider 44 to move closer to the magnet supply end 421, so that the magnet 401 that has fallen into the magnet slot 441 is separated from the magnet 401 in the vertical material slot 431 and drives the magnet 401 in the magnet slot 441 to move to the magnet supply end 421, so that the mounting robot 61 can smoothly pick up the magnet 401.
[0079] Specifically, the drive assembly 45 includes a fixed guide rail 451 fixedly mounted on the side of the magnet holder 41 away from the magnet supply end 421, a slider 452 slidably mounted on the fixed guide rail 451, a sliding plate 453 fixedly mounted on the slider 452, and a drive cylinder 454 for driving the sliding plate 453 to slide along the length direction of the fixed guide rail 451. The end of the magnet slider 44 away from the magnet supply end 421 is fixed to the sliding plate 453. A connecting plate 455 is provided between the drive cylinder 454 and the sliding plate 453. The connecting plate 455 is used to connect the piston rod of the drive cylinder 454 and the sliding plate 453.
[0080] The sliding plate 453 is driven to move along the length of the fixed guide rail 451 by the driving cylinder 454, which in turn drives the magnet slider 44 to slide along the length of the fixed guide rail 451, thereby enabling the magnet slider 44 to move relative to the magnet hopper 43 toward or away from the magnet supply end 421.
[0081] In addition, a buffer 422 is provided on the side of the magnet holder 42 away from the magnet supply end 421. A fixed plate 456 is connected between the sliding plate 453 and the magnet slider 44. The output end of the buffer 422 is used to abut against the fixed plate 456 to buffer the movement of the sliding plate 453. When the drive cylinder 454 drives the sliding plate 453 to move away from the magnet supply end 421, the fixed plate 456 will gradually approach the buffer 422 and be buffered after contacting the output end of the buffer 422, causing the moving speed of the sliding plate 453 to gradually slow down until it stops.
[0082] Furthermore, to ensure stable placement of the magnet 401 within the magnet slot 441, the magnet slider 44 is equipped with a detection sensor to detect the presence of the magnet 401 within the magnet slot 441. When the magnet slot 441 aligns and connects with the vertical feed tray 431, the detection sensor detects whether the magnet 401 has fallen into the magnet slot 441 and feeds the result back to the control mechanism 70. If no magnet 401 is detected in the magnet slot 441, the control mechanism 70 controls the drive assembly 45 to move the magnet slider 44 again, aligning the magnet slot 441 with the vertical feed tray 431 again until a magnet 401 is detected in the magnet slot 441. This ensures that the placement robot 61 can pick up the magnet 401 each time, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the placement process.
[0083] Furthermore, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The magnet supply mechanism 40 also includes a first ejector assembly 46 disposed at the magnet supply end 421, the first ejector assembly 46 being used to eject the magnet 401 out of the magnet slot 441;
[0084] The first ejector assembly 46 includes a first ejector lifting plate 461 that is liftably disposed between the magnet fixing frame 41 and the magnet fixing seat 42, a first ejector 462 fixedly disposed on the ejector lifting plate, and a first ejector cylinder 463 for driving the first ejector lifting plate 461 to move vertically up and down. The magnet fixing seat 42 and the magnet slider 44 are respectively provided with a first through hole 423 and a second through hole 442 for the first ejector 462 to pass through. The second through hole 442 communicates with the magnet groove 441. A push rod 443 is slidably disposed in the second through hole 442. The first ejector 462 is used to pass through the first through hole 423 and the second through hole 442 and push the push rod 443 to push the magnet 401 out of the magnet groove 441.
[0085] When the magnet 401 in the magnet slot 441 moves to the magnet supply end 421, the first ejector cylinder 463 drives the first ejector lifting plate 461 to rise vertically, which drives the first ejector 462 to pass through the first through hole 423 and the second through hole 442 and push the ejector rod 443, so that the ejector rod 443 can push the magnet 401 out of the magnet slot 441, so that the mounting robot 61 of the product mounting mechanism 60 can smoothly pick up the magnet 401.
[0086] Furthermore, referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11 The magnet supply mechanism 40 also includes a second ejector assembly 47, which is located directly below the vertical feed trough 431 of the magnet hopper 43. The second ejector assembly 47 is used to push the magnet 401 located in the vertical feed trough 431 so that the magnet 401 at the bottom of the vertical feed trough 431 can smoothly enter the magnet slot 441, thereby avoiding the situation where the magnet 401 gets stuck in the vertical feed trough 431 and cannot fall down.
[0087] The second ejector assembly 47 includes a second ejector lifting plate 471 that is liftable between the magnet fixing frame 41 and the magnet fixing seat 42, a second ejector 472 fixed on the second ejector lifting plate 471, and a second ejector cylinder 473 for driving the second ejector lifting plate 471 to move vertically up and down. The magnet fixing seat 42 has a third through hole 424 for the second ejector 472 to pass through. The second ejector 472 passes through the third through hole 424 and the second through hole 442 and pushes the magnet 401 located at the bottom of the vertical material groove 431 to prevent the magnet 401 from getting stuck in the vertical material groove 431.
[0088] When the magnet 401 in the vertical feed trough 431 fails to fall smoothly into the magnet trough 441 due to various reasons (such as friction of the inner wall of the feed trough), the second ejector cylinder 473 drives the second ejector lifting plate 471 to rise vertically, which drives the second ejector 472 to pass through the third through hole 424 and push the magnet 401 located at the bottom of the vertical feed trough 431, so that the magnet 401 can fall smoothly into the magnet trough 441, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the magnet supply mechanism 40.
[0089] In addition, the magnet supply mechanism 40 also includes a magnet detection sensor (not shown in the figure) disposed on the magnet mounting base 42. The magnet detection sensor is used to detect whether there is a magnet 401 in the magnet slot 441. When the magnet detection sensor detects that there is no magnet 401 in the magnet slot 441, it will send a signal to the control mechanism 70. After receiving the signal, the control mechanism 70 controls the drive assembly 45 and the second ejector assembly 47 to work to replenish the magnet 401 into the magnet slot 441, thereby realizing the automation and intelligence of the magnet 401 supply.
[0090] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 12 The foam adhesive supply mechanism 50 includes a feeder feeding assembly 51, a foam adhesive fixing frame 52, and a foam adhesive CCD assembly 53 slidably mounted on the foam adhesive fixing frame. The feeder feeding assembly 51 is used to supply foam adhesive, and the foam adhesive CCD assembly 53 is used to detect the position of the foam adhesive supplied by the feeder feeding assembly 51.
[0091] It should be noted that the feeder assembly 51 and the foam adhesive CCD assembly 53 are conventional technologies in this field, and their specific structures and working principles will not be elaborated upon here. After the feeder assembly 51 supplies the foam adhesive to the designated position, the foam adhesive CCD assembly 53 accurately detects the position of the foam adhesive and feeds back the detected position information to the control mechanism 70. Based on the received position information, the control mechanism 70 controls the placement robot 61 of the product placement mechanism 60 to move accurately to the location of the foam adhesive for subsequent foam adhesive picking operations.
[0092] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 The automatic magnetic foam adhesive bonding equipment provided in this embodiment also includes a magnetic CCD component 90, which is used to detect the position of the magnet 401 on the bonding robot 61.
[0093] The magnet CCD component 90 is also a conventional technology in this field, and its specific structure and working principle will not be elaborated here. When the mounting robot 61 picks up the magnet 401 provided by the magnet supply mechanism 40 and moves to the magnet CCD component 90, the magnet CCD component 90 detects the position of the magnet 401 relative to the mounting robot 61 and feeds the detected position information back to the control mechanism 70. The control mechanism 70 precisely adjusts the movement path of the mounting robot 61 based on this position information to ensure that the magnet 401 can accurately pick up the foam adhesive and finally accurately mount the magnet 401 with the foam adhesive to the designated position on the product. This effectively avoids mounting failure or insufficient mounting accuracy caused by the position deviation of the magnet 401, further improving the mounting quality and production efficiency of the equipment.
[0094] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 13 The product placement mechanism 60 also includes a product placement frame 62, a three-axis motion module 63 for driving the placement robot 61, and a detection component 64 located on one side of the placement robot 61. The three-axis motion module 63 drives the placement robot 61 to move along the X, Y, and Z directions, enabling the placement robot 61 to move back and forth between the placement station 203, the magnet supply mechanism 40, the foam adhesive supply mechanism 50, and the magnet CCD component 90, and enabling the placement robot 61 to smoothly complete the adsorption of the magnet 401, the adhesion of the foam adhesive, and the installation of the magnet 401 with the adhered foam adhesive. The detection component 64 is used to detect the position of the product on the carrier 10. The detection component 64 includes a vision inspection camera 641 and a light source 642 located below the vision inspection camera 641.
[0095] When the mounting robot 61, driven by the three-axis motion module 63, moves above the carrier 10 to prepare for mounting operations, the detection component 64 first scans and positions the product on the carrier 10, and feeds back the positioning information to the control mechanism 70 in real time. Based on the received positioning information, the control mechanism 70 precisely adjusts the movement path and posture of the mounting robot 61 to ensure that it can accurately mount the magnet 401 with the foam adhesive to the designated position on the product. This effectively avoids mounting errors caused by product position deviations, further improving the mounting accuracy and reliability of the equipment.
[0096] Reference Figure 14 This embodiment also provides a method for using an automatic magnetic foam adhesive applicator, which is applicable to the method of using the automatic magnetic foam adhesive applicator as described above, and includes the following steps:
[0097] 101. The carrier 10 is transported to the mounting station 203 via the product conveying mechanism 20;
[0098] 102. The carrier 10 is lifted by the positioning and lifting mechanism 30 to position the product on the carrier 10;
[0099] 103. The mounting robot 61 of the product mounting mechanism 60 is moved to the magnet supply mechanism 40 to pick up the magnet 401 provided by the magnet supply mechanism 40;
[0100] 104. Drive the mounting robot 61 to move to the foam adhesive supply mechanism 50 to adhere the foam adhesive to the magnet 401;
[0101] 105. Drive the mounting robot 61 to the mounting station 203 and mount the magnet 401 with foam adhesive onto the product;
[0102] 106. The carrier 10 is reset by the positioning and lifting mechanism 30, and the carrier 10 is transported to the unloading end 202 by the product conveying mechanism 20 to complete the unloading.
[0103] Working principle: During operation, the product conveying mechanism 20 starts working first, and the conveyor belt 22 transports the carrier 10 carrying the product from the loading end 201 to the mounting station 203. During the conveying process, if there are multiple carriers 10, the buffer station 204 will temporarily store the subsequent carriers 10 to avoid accumulation or collision at the mounting station 203.
[0104] When the carrier 10 is transported to the mounting station 203, the blocking assembly 35 begins to operate. The first blocking cylinder 354 drives the first blocking rod 352 to extend, initially blocking the carrier 10 and preventing it from moving forward. Subsequently, the second blocking cylinder 355 drives the second blocking rod 353 to extend from the side of the carrier 10 away from the first blocking rod 352, cooperating with the first blocking rod 352 to stably constrain the carrier 10 at the mounting station 203. Next, the positioning lifting cylinder 34 drives the lifting plate 33 to rise. The lifting plate 33 lifts the abutment portion 12 of the carrier 10 from below and presses it against the bottom side of the limiting plate 32, achieving product positioning on the carrier 10. Simultaneously, the positioning pin 331 inserts into the corresponding positioning hole 121 on the abutment portion 12, further improving the stability of the carrier 10 during the lifting process and ensuring accurate product positioning.
[0105] When the lifting and positioning mechanism positions the product, the control mechanism 70 controls the magnet supply mechanism 40 and the foam adhesive supply mechanism 50 to operate and respectively complete the supply of magnet 401 and foam adhesive. Then, the mounting robot 61 moves to the magnet supply mechanism 40 to pick up magnet 401. After picking up magnet 401, the mounting robot 61 moves to the magnet CCD assembly 90. The magnet CCD assembly 90 detects the position of magnet 401 relative to the mounting robot 61 and feeds the position information back to the control mechanism 70. The control mechanism 70 adjusts the movement path of the mounting robot 61 based on this information.
[0106] Next, the placement robot 61 moves to the foam adhesive supply mechanism 50. The feeder assembly 51 supplies foam adhesive to the designated position, and the foam adhesive CCD assembly 53 accurately detects the position of the foam adhesive and feeds the position information back to the control mechanism 70. The control mechanism 70 controls the placement robot 61 to move accurately to the location of the foam adhesive and adhere the foam adhesive to the magnet 401.
[0107] Finally, the mounting robot 61 moves to the mounting station 203. The detection component 64 scans and positions the product on the carrier 10 and feeds back the positioning information to the control mechanism 70 in real time. The control mechanism 70 precisely adjusts the movement path and posture of the mounting robot 61 to accurately mount the magnet 401 with foam adhesive to the designated position on the product.
[0108] After the application is completed, the positioning and lifting mechanism 30 resets the carrier 10, and the first blocking rod 352 and the second blocking rod 353 of the blocking assembly 35 retract into the blocking seat 351. The carrier 10 continues to move with the conveyor belt 22 to the unloading end 202 to complete the unloading. Throughout the process, each mechanism operates in an orderly manner under the precise control of the control mechanism 70, realizing the automatic application of the magnet 401 foam adhesive, improving production efficiency and application quality.
[0109] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of the present invention, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
