[0036] It should be noted that a plurality of lower mold assemblies 4 and upper mold assemblies 5 can be arranged on the same set of support frames 3, and a gluing operation and a grabbing operation can be performed by one set of gluing robot and grabbing robot, thereby the gluing of a plurality of products can be simultaneously performed, which is beneficial to improving the gluing efficiency of the products.

[0037] Meanwhile, the plurality of upper die profiling blocks 51 are connected to the quick-change disc 54 to form an integral component, and the upper tire mold 52 can be quickly flipped or quickly replaced by the grabbing robot. Through the modular upper tire mold 52 and the lower tire mold 43, when the glue coating of products of different shapes and sizes is required, the corresponding upper tire mold 52 and lower tire mold 43 can be replaced to achieve the glue coating of products of different shapes and sizes without the need for separate design and manufacture of a complete set of equipment according to different shapes and sizes of products, which is beneficial to improve the adaptability of the automatic glue coating equipment. For example, in actual use, according to the specific shape of the first product 1, a corresponding number and type of lower die profiling blocks 41 are selected to form the lower tire mold 43 of the first product 1; according to the specific shape of the second product 2, a corresponding number and type of upper die profiling blocks 51 are selected to form the upper tire mold 52 of the second product 2; thereby the glue coating of products of different shapes and sizes can be achieved.

[0039] Specifically, the lower tire mold 43 is connected to the base frame 31 through the bearing seat 44, and the lower tire mold 43 is composed of a plurality of lower die profiling blocks 41, which are arranged in sequence along the X-axis direction, and the lower end surfaces of the plurality of lower die profiling blocks 41 jointly form the lower end surface of the lower tire mold 43 which is completely adapted to the shape of the first product 1, so that the first product 1 can be correspondingly placed on the lower tire mold 43; at the same time, the first product 1 has a protruding feature structure, and correspondingly, the lower tire mold 43 has a profiling groove 42 matched therewith, and when the first product 1 is placed on the lower tire mold 43, the protruding feature structure is embedded in the profiling groove 42, which can position the first product 1 in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction.

[0040] Preferably, a mounting plate can be provided on the base frame 31, and the support seat 44 is mounted on the mounting plate. The support seat 44 can be detachably connected to the mounting plate by means of bolts. When replacing the lower mold assembly 4, the support seat 44 can be quickly disassembled to replace the lower mold assembly 4. In addition, multiple support seats 44 can be provided, with one support seat 44 corresponding to each lower mold block 41. When replacing the lower mold 43, the lower mold block 41 can be replaced individually, which is beneficial for cost control; or multiple lower mold blocks 41 can be installed on the same support seat 44. When replacing, the entire lower mold can be replaced by replacing the support seat 44, which is beneficial for quick replacement of the lower mold 43, so as to adapt to products of different shapes and sizes.

[0041] For example, an installation groove extending along the Y-axis can be provided on the mounting top plate, and a corresponding installation slider that slides in the installation groove can be provided on the bearing seat 44; the bearing seat 44 is installed and fixed through the installation groove, which facilitates the quick replacement of the bearing seat 44 and further improves the replacement efficiency of the lower mold 43.

[0042] Furthermore, the lower mold block 41 is made of aluminum, which makes the lower mold 43 both lightweight and has good thermal conductivity, facilitating quick replacement and heat conduction. At the same time, a hot air component 9 is provided on the base frame 31. During the pressure holding process after mold closing, the hot air component 9 can continuously deliver hot air to the lower mold 43, and the aluminum lower mold 43 can quickly transfer heat, which is beneficial to accelerate the curing of the first product 1 and the second product 2.

[0043] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the upper mold assembly 5 further includes a transfer bracket 53 and an adjustable contour block 55. The transfer bracket 53 is placed on the upper frame 32, and multiple upper contour blocks 51 are connected to the lower end face of the transfer bracket 53. The quick-change disc 54 is connected to the upper end face of the transfer bracket 53. The adjustable contour block 55 is connected to the transfer bracket 53 and is located on the side of the upper contour block 51. The end face shape of the adjustable contour block 55 is adapted to the edge shape of the corresponding position of the second product 2. The shape of the upper mold 52 composed of multiple upper contour blocks 51 is adapted to the shape of the second product 2. The adjustable contour block 55 can move towards or away from the second product 2 for positioning the second product 2 in the X-axis and Y-axis directions.

[0044] Specifically, the upper mold 52 is used to carry and position the second product 2. A plurality of upper mold profiling blocks 51 are arranged in sequence along the X-axis direction to form the upper mold 52, and the lower end faces of the plurality of upper mold profiling blocks 51 jointly form a lower end face of the upper mold 52 which is adapted to the shape of the second product 2 for fitting installation of the second product 2. The transfer bracket 53 can be placed integrally on the upper rack 32, and the plurality of upper mold profiling blocks 51 can be fixedly connected to the transfer bracket 53 by bolts; the two sides of the upper rack 32 along the X-axis direction can be provided with positioning members, and when the transfer bracket 53 is placed in position, the upper mold 52 can be positioned and fixed by the positioning members on the two sides, so that the positioning of the upper mold assembly 5 can be realized. The quick-change disc 54 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the transfer bracket 53, and the quick-change disc 54 can adopt an industrial standard interface and can be quickly grabbed, locked or released by the quick-change tool head at the end of the grabbing robot. The robot can grab, transfer and overturn the entire upper mold assembly 5 by operating the quick-change disc 54, so as to facilitate gluing, docking with the lower mold assembly 4 and quick replacement of the upper mold 52.

[0045] For example, the adjustable profiling block 55 can include a shape and position block and a mounting block, the shape and position block is slidingly connected to the mounting block, the mounting block is fixedly connected to the transfer bracket 53, and an adjusting bolt can be screwed on the mounting block to push the shape and position block to slide by screwing the bolt; the adjustable profiling block 55 can be arranged on the side edges of the upper mold 52 along the X-axis direction and along the Y-axis direction, and by loosening and tightening the adjusting bolt, the adjustable profiling block 55 can be moved in the direction of approaching or moving away from the second product 2, so as to clamp and position the product in the X direction and the Y direction from the side.

[0046] Further, the upper mold assembly 5 further includes a vacuum chuck 56 arranged in the upper mold profiling block 51, and the vacuum chuck 56 is located on the end face of the upper mold profiling block 51 in contact with the second product 2, and is used to adsorb the second product 2 to position the second product 2 in the Z-axis direction. For example, the vacuum chuck 56 is embedded in the lower end face of the upper mold profiling block 51, and the adsorption surface thereof is in direct contact with the second product 2, and when the second product 2 is placed in position, the vacuum chuck 56 generates negative pressure to firmly adsorb the second product 2 on the lower end face of the upper mold 52, so as to realize reliable positioning of the second product 2 in the Z-axis direction and avoid falling off during the overturning and gluing process.

[0047] Preferably, the upper mold profiling block 51 is made of wood-based material to ensure that the upper mold 52 as a whole is light in weight, high in precision fitting and good in wear resistance; the adjustable profiling block 55 is made of nylon material, so that the adjustable profiling block 55 has good wear resistance and certain toughness, which ensures positioning of the second product 2 and facilitates adjustment.

[0048] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the high-adaptation flexible automatic gluing equipment further comprises a wheeled positioning assembly 6 arranged between the base frame 31 and the upper frame 32, and the wheeled positioning assembly 6 is arranged on both sides along the X-axis direction and on one side along the Y-axis direction. The wheeled positioning assembly 6 along the X-axis direction comprises a mounting seat 61, a positioning seat 62 and a positioning wheel 64. The mounting seat 61 is fixedly connected to the base frame 31. The positioning seat 62 is fixedly connected to the upper frame 32, and the positioning seat 62 has a vertical plate 63 extending along the X-axis direction and having a plate surface perpendicular to the Y-axis direction. The positioning wheel 64 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 61, and the rotation axis is parallel to the X-axis direction. Two positioning wheels 64 are arranged along the Y-axis direction, and the vertical plate 63 is clamped between the two positioning wheels 64. The wheeled positioning assembly 6 arranged along the Y-axis direction is arranged perpendicular to the wheeled positioning assembly 6 arranged along the X-axis direction.

[0049] Specifically, the mounting seat 61 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the base frame 31 by bolts, and an ear plate can be fixed on the mounting seat 61 for the positioning wheel 64 to be rotatably connected. Taking the wheeled positioning assembly 6 along the X-axis direction as an example, the two positioning wheels 64 are arranged along the Y-axis direction, and the rotation axis of the positioning wheel 64 is arranged along the X-axis direction. The positioning seat 62 can be a T-shaped seat, and the upper end thereof is fixedly connected to the upper frame 32, and the vertical plate 63 at the lower end is located between the two positioning wheels 64. Therefore, when the upper tire mold 52 and the lower tire mold 43 are closed, the wheeled positioning assembly 6 can limit the shaking of the upper frame 32 along the Y-axis direction. Meanwhile, the wheeled positioning assembly 6 along the Y-axis direction has the same structure as the wheeled positioning assembly 6 along the X-axis direction, but the arrangement directions are perpendicular to each other, and can be used to limit the shaking of the upper frame 32 along the X-axis direction when the molds are closed. The three wheeled positioning assemblies 6 work together to provide accurate guidance during the mold closing process, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the mold closing.

[0050] For example, the positioning wheel 64 on one side of the wheeled positioning assembly 6 can adopt a gear, the vertical plate 63 on one side is provided with a rack engaged with the gear, and a driving motor is connected to the rotation axis of the positioning wheel 64 on the side. The driving motors of the three wheeled positioning assemblies 6 operate simultaneously, which can drive the upper mold assembly 5 as a whole to move along the Z-axis direction through the upper frame 32, so as to adjust the pressing degree between the upper tire mold 52 and the lower tire mold 43, facilitate the adjustment and control of the adjustable profiling block 55 after the molds are closed, and keep the upper tire mold 52 and the lower tire mold 43 pressed, which is not only beneficial to the accurate positioning of the product, but also ensures the pressing and solidification of the first product 1 and the second product 2.
