Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of adhesive coating equipment technology, and more particularly to an adhesive coating device for vehicle glass. Background Technology

[0002] In the current automotive manufacturing industry, components such as front and rear windshields, corner windows, and sunroofs are typically coated with adhesive using separate equipment. However, this separate setup for different types of glass components results in excessive space being occupied by multiple adhesive application devices. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide an adhesive application device for vehicle glass, which aims to solve the problem of how to improve…

[0004] This application provides an adhesive coating apparatus for vehicle glass, including a transport trolley and an adhesive coating stand. The transport trolley is used to hold different types of vehicle glass. The adhesive coating stand includes a support, a positioning component, and an adhesive coating device. Both the positioning component and the adhesive coating device are connected to the support. After the transport trolley moves to the adhesive coating stand, the positioning component can position the vehicle glass on the transport trolley so that the adhesive coating device can perform an adhesive coating operation on the vehicle glass.

[0005] In this way, different types of vehicle glass can be transported to the adhesive application stand by a transport trolley, and then adhesive application can be performed on different types of vehicle glass through the cooperation of positioning components and adhesive application devices.

[0006] Compared to setting up multiple adhesive application devices, each for a specific type of vehicle glass, this method allows for adhesive application to different types of vehicle glass using a single device. This simplifies the structure of the adhesive application equipment, facilitates its spatial arrangement, and reduces processing costs.

[0007] Optionally, the transport trolley includes a frame, multiple wheels, and multiple contouring clamps. The wheels are rotatably connected to the underside of the frame. The contouring clamps are connected to the upper side of the frame and are movable relative to the frame, used to secure different types of vehicle glass. After the transport trolley moves to the adhesive application platform, the positioning assembly positions the multiple contouring clamps to maintain a constant distance between the surface of the vehicle glass and the adhesive application trajectory during the adhesive application process.

[0008] Optionally, the positioning assembly includes a guide, a limiting member, a clamping member, and a positioning member. The guide is connected to the bracket and extends along a first direction. The transport trolley can move along one side surface of the guide in a second direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and also perpendicular to the vertical direction. The limiting member and the clamping member are both fixed to the bracket. After the transport trolley moves to the gluing platform, along the first direction, the limiting member contacts the front end of the frame, and the clamping member contacts the rear end of the frame. The positioning member can move in the vertical direction and can position multiple contour jigs.

[0009] Optionally, the guide includes a first guide rail and a second guide rail. Both the first and second guide rails extend along a first direction and are arranged along a second direction. The transport trolley also includes multiple guide wheels, all of which are rotatably connected to the frame. As the transport trolley moves along the guide, the multiple guide wheels contact the opposite side surfaces of the first and second guide rails, or the multiple guide wheels contact the opposite side surfaces of the first and second guide rails.

[0010] Optionally, the clamping member includes a first driving part, a fixed part, and a rotating part. The fixed part is fixed to the bracket. The rotating part is rotatably connected to the fixed part, and the first driving part is used to drive the rotating part to rotate relative to the fixed part, so that the clamping member switches between a released state and a clamping state. When the clamping member is in the released state, the fixed part and the rotating part are arranged along a first direction. When the clamping member is in the clamping state, at least a portion of the rotating part is located on one side of the fixed part in a second direction.

[0011] Optionally, the positioning element includes multiple second drive units and multiple positioning pins, wherein the multiple second drive units are used to drive the multiple positioning pins to move in the vertical direction, thereby pushing the multiple contour jigs to move.

[0012] Optionally, the coating stand also includes a conveying device and a first moving device. The conveying device is connected to the support frame and is used to convey the vehicle glass to the outside of the coating stand. The first moving device is connected to the support frame and is capable of moving the vehicle glass from the transport trolley onto the conveying device.

[0013] Optionally, there are multiple transport trolleys, including a first transport trolley and a second transport trolley. There are also multiple positioning components, including a first positioning component and a second positioning component. The first positioning component is capable of positioning the vehicle glass on the first transport trolley, and the second positioning component is capable of positioning the vehicle glass on the second transport trolley.

[0014] Optionally, the adhesive application equipment also includes a controller, which is configured to: Determine whether a transport trolley is placed inside the glue application platform.

[0015] If a transport trolley is placed inside the glue application stand, determine whether the vehicle glass has been positioned.

[0016] If the vehicle glass is positioned, the system obtains the vehicle glass type data input by the user and controls the adhesive applicator to apply adhesive to the vehicle glass based on the user-input vehicle glass type data.

[0017] Optionally, the adhesive application equipment also includes a camera device for photographing the vehicle glass to obtain vehicle glass type data. The controller is electrically connected to the camera device. Acquiring the vehicle glass type data input by the user and controlling the adhesive application device to apply adhesive to the vehicle glass based on the user-inputted vehicle glass type data includes: Obtain vehicle glass type data input by the user and vehicle glass type data acquired by the camera device.

[0018] Determine whether the vehicle glass type data input by the user matches the vehicle glass type data acquired by the camera device.

[0019] If the vehicle glass type data input by the user matches the vehicle glass type data acquired by the camera device, then the adhesive application device is controlled to apply adhesive to the vehicle glass according to the vehicle glass type data input by the user.

[0023] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," "fifth," and "sixth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first," "second," "third," "fourth," "fifth," and "sixth" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0024] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0025] In the embodiments of this application, "parallel," "perpendicular," and "equal" include the described situation and situations similar to the described situation, where the range of similarity is within an acceptable deviation range, which is determined by those skilled in the art taking into account the measurement under discussion and the error associated with the measurement of a particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "parallel" includes absolute parallelism and approximate parallelism, where the acceptable deviation range for approximate parallelism can be, for example, a deviation within 5°; "perpendicular" includes absolute perpendicularity and approximate perpendicularity, where the acceptable deviation range for approximate perpendicularity can also be, for example, a deviation within 5°. "Equal" includes absolute equality and approximate equality, where the acceptable deviation range for approximate equality can be, for example, a difference between the two equals being less than or equal to 5% of either one.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this application provides an adhesive application device 10, which can perform adhesive application operations on different types of vehicle glass.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the adhesive application equipment 10 includes a transport trolley 1 and an adhesive application platform 2. The transport trolley 1 is used to place different types of vehicle glass. The adhesive application platform 2 includes a support 21, a positioning assembly 22, and an adhesive application device 23. Both the positioning assembly 22 and the adhesive application device 23 are connected to the support 21.

[0028] After the transport trolley 1 moves to the glue application platform 2, the positioning component 22 can position the vehicle glass on the transport trolley 1 so that the glue application device 23 can perform glue application on the vehicle glass.

[0029] In this way, different types of vehicle glass can be transported to the adhesive application frame 2 by the transport trolley 1, and then the adhesive application operation can be realized for different types of vehicle glass through the cooperation of the positioning component 22 and the adhesive application device 23.

[0030] Compared to setting up multiple adhesive application devices, each for a specific type of vehicle glass, the adhesive application device 10 allows for the application of adhesive to different types of vehicle glass using a single device. This simplifies the structure of the adhesive application device 10, facilitates its spatial arrangement, and reduces its processing costs.

[0031] It should be noted that the adhesive application equipment 10 provided in this application can be used as the main equipment for applying adhesive to vehicle glass, or as a backup equipment for applying adhesive to vehicle glass.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the transport trolley 1 includes a frame 11, multiple wheels 12, and multiple contour clamps 13. The multiple wheels 12 are rotatably connected to the lower side of the frame 11. The multiple contour clamps 13 are connected to the upper side of the frame 11 and are movable relative to the frame 11, used to secure different types of vehicle glass.

[0033] After the transport trolley 1 moves to the glue application table 2, the positioning component 22 can position multiple contour clamps 13 so that the surface of the vehicle glass and the glue application trajectory of the glue application device 23 during the glue application operation chamber are kept at a constant distance.

[0034] Multiple wheels 12 are connected to the underside of the frame 11, which makes it easy for the user to push the transport trolley 1 to move, thereby transporting the vehicle glass into the glue application frame 2.

[0035] Furthermore, the positioning component 22 positions multiple contour clamps 13 on the transport trolley 1, ensuring that the surface of the vehicle glass maintains a constant distance from the adhesive application trajectory of the adhesive application device 23 during the adhesive application operation. This ensures that the adhesive application device 23 applies adhesive evenly to the vehicle glass. Compared to positioning the entire transport trolley 1, this method improves the convenience of positioning the vehicle glass and enhances the positioning accuracy of the vehicle glass, thereby improving the adhesive application effect of the adhesive application frame 2 on the vehicle glass.

[0036] In some other embodiments, multiple contouring clamps 13 may also be fixed to the frame 11, and the positioning component 22 may position the frame 11.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown, the positioning component 22 includes a guide 221, a limiting component, a clamping component 222, and a positioning component 223.

[0038] The guide member 221 is connected to the bracket 21 and extends along the first direction. The transport trolley 1 can move along one side surface of the guide member 221 in the second direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the vertical direction.

[0039] Both the limiting member and the clamping member 222 are fixed to the bracket 21. After the transport trolley 1 moves to the glue application platform 2, along the first direction, the limiting member contacts the front end of the frame 11, and the clamping member 222 contacts the rear end of the frame 11.

[0040] The positioning element 223 can move in the vertical direction and can position multiple contour jigs 13.

[0041] The transport trolley 1 can move along one side surface of the guide member 221 in the second direction, so that the transport trolley can be guided by the guide member 221, which facilitates the positioning of multiple contour jigs 13 on the transport trolley and restricts the movement of the transport trolley 1 in the second direction, thereby positioning the position of the transport trolley 1 in the second direction.

[0042] Simultaneously, as the transport trolley 1 moves along the guide member 221, the front end of the frame 11 can contact the limiting member, which can restrict the transport trolley 1 from moving along the first direction. At the same time, the clamping member 222 can contact the rear end of the frame 11, thereby clamping the frame 11 between the clamping member 222 and the limiting member, thus positioning the frame 11 in the first direction.

[0043] In this way, the frame 11 can be positioned in the plane containing the first and second directions, i.e., the horizontal plane, through the cooperation of the guide member 221, the limiting member, and the clamping member 222. This allows for the pre-positioning of multiple contour jigs 13, and then the positioning member 223 positions the multiple contour jigs 13. This facilitates the positioning member 223 in positioning the multiple contour jigs 13 and improves the accuracy of the positioning member 223 in positioning the multiple contour jigs 13.

[0044] Of course, in some other embodiments, limiting devices or the like can be set to position multiple contour jigs 13 individually.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the guide member 221 includes a first guide rail 2211 and a second guide rail 2212.

[0046] The first guide rail 2211 and the second guide rail 2212 both extend along the first direction, and the first guide rail 2211 and the second guide rail 2212 are arranged along the second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the vertical direction.

[0047] The transport trolley 1 also includes multiple guide wheels 14, all of which are rotatably connected to the frame 11. As the transport trolley 1 moves along the guide member 221, the multiple guide wheels 14 contact the opposite side surfaces of the first guide rail 2211 and the second guide rail 2212.

[0048] Thus, as the transport trolley 1 moves along the guide member 221, multiple guide wheels 14 can move along the opposite side surfaces of the first guide rail 2211 and the second guide rail 2212, thereby clamping the multiple guide wheels 14 between the first guide rail 2211 and the second guide rail 2212 to improve the positioning effect of the frame 11.

[0049] In some other embodiments, a plurality of guide wheels 14 are in contact with the opposite side surfaces of the first guide rail 2211 and the second guide rail 2212.

[0050] Thus, as the transport trolley 1 moves along the guide member 221, multiple guide wheels 14 can move along the opposite sides of the first guide rail 2211 and the second guide rail 2212. The first guide rail 2211 and the second guide rail 2212 can be supported between the multiple guide wheels 14, which can also improve the positioning effect of the frame 11.

[0051] In some other embodiments, the guide 221 can also be a guide post. The transport trolley 1 is provided with a guide hole. By inserting the guide post into the guide hole, the transport trolley 1 can move along the guide post.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the clamping member 222 includes a first driving part 2221, a fixing part 2222, and a rotating part 2223. The fixing part 2222 is fixed to the bracket 21. The rotating part 2223 is rotatably connected to the fixing part 2222. The first driving part 2221 is used to drive the rotating part 2223 to rotate relative to the fixing part 2222, so that the clamping member 222 switches between a released state and a clamping state.

[0053] When the clamping member 222 is in the released state, the fixing part 2222 and the rotating part 2223 are arranged along the first direction. When the clamping member 222 is in the clamping state, at least a portion of the rotating part 2223 is located on one side of the fixing part 2222 in the second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the vertical direction.

[0054] Thus, during the movement of the transport trolley 1 along the guide 221, the clamping member 222 can be in a released state to prevent the rotating part 2223 from blocking the movement of the transport trolley 1. After the frame 11 of the transport trolley 1 contacts the limiting member, the clamping member 222 can be switched to a clamping state so that the rotating part 2223 moves to the side of the fixed part 2222 close to the frame 11 in the second direction and contacts the frame 11, thereby clamping the frame 11 between the limiting member and the clamping member 222, and achieving the positioning of the transport trolley 1.

[0055] Of course, in some other embodiments, the clamping member 222 can also be a clamping claw. When the transport trolley 1 moves along the guide member 221, the clamping claw releases the frame 11. When the frame 11 of the transport trolley 1 comes into contact with the limiting member, the clamping claw clamps the frame 11, which can also realize the positioning function of the limiting member and the clamping member 222 on the transport trolley 1.

[0056] For example, the first driving component can be a motor, cylinder, etc.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 10 As shown, the positioning component 223 includes a plurality of second driving parts and a plurality of positioning pins 2231. The plurality of second driving parts are used to drive the plurality of positioning pins 2231 to move in the vertical direction, so as to push the plurality of contour jigs 13 to move.

[0058] In this way, multiple second driving units can drive multiple second positioning pins 2231 to move, thereby using multiple second positioning pins 2231 to push multiple contour jigs 13 to move, thus realizing the adjustment and positioning of the positions of multiple contour jigs 13.

[0059] Of course, in some other embodiments, the positioning element 223 may also include a positioning robotic arm, which can directly move multiple contour jigs 13 to the required position.

[0060] For example, the second drive component 2232 can be a motor, cylinder, etc.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, the transport trolley 1 also includes a mounting plate 15, to which multiple contouring clamps 13 are connected. Multiple positioning pins 2231 can contact the mounting plate 15 to move the multiple contouring clamps 13. This facilitates the simultaneous movement of multiple positioning pins 2231 and multiple contouring clamps 13, making it easier to set the positioning elements 223.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 13 As shown, the glue application stand 2 also includes: The conveying device 24 is connected to the bracket 21 and is used to convey the vehicle glass to the outside of the glue application stand 2.

[0063] The first moving device 25 is connected to the bracket 21 and is capable of moving the vehicle glass from the transport trolley 1 to the conveyor 24.

[0064] In this way, after the adhesive applicator 23 completes the adhesive application to the vehicle glass, the vehicle glass can be moved to the conveyor 24 via the first moving device 25, and then transported to the outside of the adhesive applicator 2 using the conveyor 24. Compared to pushing the transport trolley 1 out of the adhesive applicator 2 and then manually transporting the vehicle glass, the setup of the first moving device 25 and the conveyor 24 reduces manual operation, facilitates the transport of vehicle glass, and allows the vehicle glass to be removed from the transport trolley 1, enabling the transport trolley 1 to directly transport other vehicle glass, facilitating the use of the adhesive applicator 10 and accelerating production efficiency.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 13 As shown, the conveying device 24 includes a first conveyor belt 241 and a second conveyor belt 242. When the transport trolley 1 moves to the glue application table 2, both the first conveyor belt 241 and the second conveyor belt 242 are located on the upper side of the vehicle glass; both the first conveyor belt 241 and the second conveyor belt 242 extend along a second direction, and along a first direction, the first conveyor belt 241 and the second conveyor belt 242 are located on opposite sides of the vehicle glass.

[0066] The first moving device 25 includes a support member 251, a lifting member 252, and a rotating member 253. The rotating member 253 is fixed to the bracket 21, and the lifting member 252 is connected to the upper side of the rotating member 253 and to the support member 251. The support member is used to contact the lower surface of the vehicle glass, the lifting member 252 is used to drive the support member 251 to move in the vertical direction, and the rotation axis of the rotating member 253 is parallel to the vertical direction, and the rotating member 253 is used to drive the support member 251 and the rotating member 253 to rotate.

[0067] With the above settings, after the glue application device 23 completes the glue application operation on the vehicle glass, the lifting component 252 can be activated to drive the support component 251 to move upward in the vertical direction and make the support component 251 contact the vehicle glass. Continuing to move the support component 251 can cause the support component 251 to separate the vehicle glass from the transport trolley 1 until the vehicle glass is moved to the upper side of the first conveyor belt 241 and the second conveyor belt 242.

[0068] At this time, the rotating component 253 can be activated, causing the rotating component 253 to drive the lifting component 252, the supporting component 251 and the vehicle glass to rotate, so that the vehicle glass partially overlaps with the first conveyor belt 241 and the second conveyor belt 242 in the vertical direction.

[0069] At this time, the lifting component 252 drives the support component 251 to move downward in the vertical direction, so that the vehicle glass can be placed on the first conveyor belt 241 and the second conveyor belt 242, thereby using the first conveyor belt 241 and the second conveyor belt 242 to transport the vehicle glass to the outside of the glue coating stand 2, thus realizing the transportation of the vehicle glass.

[0070] In some other embodiments, the lifting member 252 can be fixed to the bracket 21, and the rotating member 253 is connected to the upper side of the lifting member 252 and connected to the support member 251. The lifting member 252 drives the rotating member 253 and the support member 251 to move in the vertical direction, which can also realize the transportation of vehicle glass.

[0071] Of course, in other embodiments, the first moving device 25 may also be a robotic arm or the like.

[0072] For example, support member 251 may include multiple cushioning pads or multiple suction cups, etc.

[0073] For example, the lifting component 252 can be a cylinder, motor, etc.

[0074] For example, the rotating component 253 can also be a cylinder, motor, etc.

[0075] In some embodiments, the mounting plate 15 has a clearance area 151. When the transport trolley 1 moves to the glue application table 2, the projections of the lifting member 252 and the support member 251 on the mounting plate 15 are located within the clearance area 151 in the vertical direction.

[0076] This prevents the mounting plate 15 from blocking the support member 251 from contacting the vehicle glass, thus ensuring the normal function of the first moving device 25.

[0077] For example, the clearance area 151 can be a clearance hole opened on the mounting plate 15, or a clearance notch provided on one side of the mounting plate 15, etc.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 As shown, the adhesive coating equipment 10 also includes a second moving device 26. After the conveying device 24 conveys the vehicle glass to the outside of the adhesive coating stand 2, the second moving device 26 can move the vehicle glass from the conveying device 24 to other locations, such as a conveyor belt, a material rack, etc.

[0079] This can further reduce manual operations in the vehicle glass processing process, making vehicle glass processing easier and improving vehicle glass production efficiency.

[0080] For example, the second moving device 26 may be a robotic arm equipped with a suction cup or gripper, or have the same or similar structure as the first moving device 25.

[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, there are multiple transport trolleys 1, including a first transport trolley 101 and a second transport trolley 102. Figure 11 The mounting plate 15 shown is Figure 3 The mounting plate 15 shown on the first transport trolley 101 is... Figure 12 The mounting plate 15 shown is Figure 4 Mounting plate 15 shown in the second transport trolley 102.

[0082] There are multiple positioning components 22, including a first positioning component 2201 and a second positioning component 2202. The first positioning component 2201 can position the vehicle glass on the first transport trolley 101, and the second positioning component 2202 can position the vehicle glass on the second transport trolley 102.

[0083] With the above configuration, the adhesive coating equipment 10 can be used simultaneously for adhesive coating operations on vehicle glass on the first transport trolley 101 and on vehicle glass on the second transport trolley 102, thereby further improving the production efficiency of vehicle glass and enhancing the practicality of the adhesive coating equipment 10.

[0084] Specifically, while one of the first transport trolley 101 and the second transport trolley 102 is moved to the glue application frame 2 and the glue application device 23 is performing glue application on the vehicle glass on that trolley, the other of the first transport trolley 101 and the second transport trolley 102 can be moved to the glue application frame 2. This allows the glue application to be performed immediately on the other of the first transport trolley 101 and the second transport trolley 102 immediately after the glue application on the vehicle glass on one of the first transport trolley 101 and the second transport trolley 102 is completed, thereby accelerating the glue application efficiency of the vehicle glass on the first transport trolley 101 and the second transport trolley 102.

[0085] For example, the first positioning component 2201 and the second positioning component 2202 can be arranged along a first direction or along a second direction.

[0086] For example, the structures of the first transport trolley 101 and the second transport trolley 102 can be the same, that is, the first transport trolley 101 and the second transport trolley 102 can hold the same type of vehicle glass, or they can hold different types of vehicle glass.

[0087] In some examples, the first transport trolley 101 is used to place the windshield, sunroof, or corner window of the vehicle. Specifically, the shape and size of the windshield are similar to those of the sunroof. Therefore, the structure and spatial layout of the contour clamp 13 required to fix the windshield are similar to those required to fix the sunroof. The windshield and sunroof can be fixed using multiple contour clamps 13 of the first transport trolley 101.

[0088] Since the corner window glass is relatively small, the structure and spatial layout of the contour clamp 13 required to fix the corner window glass are relatively simple. Therefore, multiple contour clamps 13 of the first transport trolley 101 can be used to fix the windshield, sunroof glass or corner window glass. On this basis, multiple contour clamps 13 of the first transport trolley 101 can also be used to fix multiple corner window glass at the same time.

[0089] The second transport trolley 102 is used to place the rear windshield of the vehicle. Specifically, the shape and size of the rear windshield are quite different from those of the front windshield and sunroof. The structure and spatial layout of the contour clamp 13 required to fix the rear windshield are also quite different from those of the contour clamp 13 used to fix the front windshield and sunroof. Therefore, the multiple contour clamps 13 of the second transport trolley 102 can be used individually to fix the rear windshield.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 13 As shown, the first positioning component 2201 and the second positioning component 2202 can be arranged along the first direction.

[0091] The conveying device 24 also includes a third conveyor belt 243. When the second transport trolley 102 moves to the glue application table 2, both the second conveyor belt 242 and the third conveyor belt 243 are located on the upper side of the vehicle glass on the second transport trolley 102, and along the first direction, the third conveyor belt 243 and the second conveyor belt 242 are located on opposite sides of the vehicle glass on the second transport trolley 102.

[0092] The vehicle glass located on the second transport trolley 102 can be transported via the second conveyor belt 242 and the third conveyor belt 243. The vehicle glass on the first transport trolley 101 and the vehicle glass on the first transport trolley 101 can share the second conveyor belt 242 for transportation. This simplifies the structure of the conveying device 24, facilitates the installation of the conveying device 24, and improves the integration of the glue coating table 2, making it easier to arrange the space of the glue coating table 2.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 13 As shown, the number of the first moving device 25 and the second moving device 26 can both be two.

[0094] This allows for the separate transport of vehicle glass on the first transport trolley 101 and the transport of vehicle glass on the first transport trolley 101.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the glue application equipment 10 also includes a glue supply system 27, which adopts a small glue bucket supply mode. The small glue buckets are easy to replace, and convenient for maintenance and management. Specifically, the weight of the small glue buckets can be 15kg-25kg, such as 15kg, 18kg, 20kg, 22kg, 24kg, 25kg, etc.

[0096] The adhesive supply system 27 also includes a pump body, and the adhesive application device 10 also includes a controller 28. The pump body is used to introduce adhesive into the adhesive application device 23. The controller 28 is electrically connected to the pump body.

[0097] Specifically, the pump body can be a servo plunger-type metering pump, so that the pump body can be controlled by the controller 28 to achieve a stable output of adhesive. The controller 28 can automatically adjust the amount of adhesive supplied by the pump body according to the adhesive trajectory, speed and other requirements when applying adhesive to different vehicle glass, so as to ensure that the adhesive application process is stable and continuous.

[0098] Alternatively, the pump body can be a pneumatic glue pump, an electric screw pump, etc.

[0099] In some embodiments, the adhesive application device 23 can be a high-precision collaborative robot. This robot possesses flexible motion trajectory planning capabilities and can accurately complete adhesive application operations for various types of vehicle glass based on the shape, size, and adhesive application process requirements. Furthermore, the collaborative robot operates stably, significantly improving adhesive application efficiency while ensuring adhesive application quality, thus meeting production demands.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 14 As shown, controller 28 is configured as follows: Step S01: Determine whether the transport trolley 1 is placed inside the glue application frame 2.

[0101] If the adhesive application stand 2 contains a transport trolley 1, then proceed to step S02: determine whether the vehicle glass has been positioned.

[0102] If the vehicle glass is positioned, proceed to step S03: obtain the vehicle glass type data input by the user, and control the adhesive applicator 23 to apply adhesive to the vehicle glass according to the vehicle glass type data input by the user.

[0103] With the above settings, before applying adhesive to the vehicle glass, it can be determined whether the vehicle glass has been properly positioned, so as to ensure the adhesive application effect of the adhesive application device 23 on the vehicle glass.

[0104] It should be noted that if the vehicle glass is not properly positioned, step S02 needs to be repeated: determine whether the vehicle glass has been properly positioned.

[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 As shown, the adhesive application equipment 10 also includes a camera device for taking pictures of the vehicle glass to obtain data on the type of the vehicle glass. The controller 28 is electrically connected to the camera device.

[0106] Step S03: Obtain the vehicle glass type data input by the user, and control the adhesive application device 23 to perform adhesive application on the vehicle glass according to the user-input vehicle glass type data, including: Step S21: Obtain the vehicle glass type data input by the user and the vehicle glass type data obtained by the camera device.

[0107] Step S22: Determine whether the vehicle glass type data input by the user is consistent with the vehicle glass type data acquired by the camera device.

[0108] If the vehicle glass type data input by the user matches the vehicle glass type data acquired by the camera device, then step S23 is executed: control the adhesive applicator 23 to apply adhesive to the vehicle glass according to the vehicle glass type data input by the user.

[0109] In this way, before applying adhesive to the vehicle glass, the camera device can determine whether the vehicle glass type data entered by the user is incorrect, thereby ensuring that the adhesive application device 23 can apply adhesive to the vehicle glass according to the correct vehicle glass type data, avoiding the adhesive application operation of the adhesive application device 23 being inconsistent with the type of vehicle glass, and ensuring the normal operation of the adhesive application device 23.

[0110] It should be noted that if the vehicle glass type data input by the user is inconsistent with the vehicle glass type data acquired by the camera device, step S21 needs to be executed again: acquire the vehicle glass type data input by the user and the vehicle glass type data acquired by the camera device.

[0111] In some embodiments, such as Figure 16 As shown, controller 28 is configured as follows: Step S31: Determine whether the transport trolley 1 is placed inside the glue application frame 2.

[0112] If the adhesive application stand 2 contains a transport trolley 1, then proceed to step S32: determine whether the vehicle glass has been positioned.

[0113] If the vehicle glass is not properly positioned, proceed to step S33: the adhesive applicator 10 alarms, the vehicle glass is repositioned, and step S32 is re-executed: determine whether the vehicle glass is properly positioned.

[0114] If the vehicle glass is positioned, proceed to step S34: obtain the vehicle glass type data input by the user and the vehicle glass type data obtained by the camera device.

[0115] Step S35: Determine whether the vehicle glass type data input by the user is consistent with the vehicle glass type data acquired by the camera device.

[0116] If the vehicle glass type data input by the user matches the vehicle glass type data acquired by the camera device, then step S36 is executed: control the adhesive applicator 23 to perform adhesive applicator operation on the vehicle glass according to the vehicle glass type data input by the user.

[0117] If the vehicle glass type data input by the user is inconsistent with the vehicle glass type data acquired by the camera device, then step S37 is executed: the glue applicator 10 alarms, and step S34 is re-executed: acquire the vehicle glass type data input by the user and the vehicle glass type data acquired by the camera device.

[0118] Step S38: Determine whether the adhesive application process for the vehicle glass has been completed; If the adhesive application process for the vehicle glass is not completed, proceed to step S39: determine whether the adhesive application device 23 is malfunctioning; If the glue applicator 23 is found to be malfunctioning, then step S37 is executed: the glue applicator 10 alarms, and step S34 is re-executed: the vehicle glass type data input by the user and the vehicle glass type data acquired by the camera device are obtained.

[0119] If the adhesive application operation on the vehicle glass is completed, then step S40 is executed: control the adhesive application device 23 to reset; Step S41: Determine whether there is a vehicle window on the conveyor device 24; If there is no vehicle glass on the conveyor 24, then step S42 is executed: control the first moving device 25 to start and place the vehicle glass on the conveyor 24. Step S43: Determine if the vehicle glass is in place; If the vehicle glass is in place, proceed to step S44: start the conveyor 24 to convey the vehicle glass, and proceed to step S45: push out the transport trolley 1; If the vehicle glass is not in place, proceed to step S46: the glue applicator 10 alarms, and re-execute step S43: determine whether the vehicle glass is in place; Step S47: Determine if the vehicle glass has been delivered to the correct position; If the vehicle glass is delivered to the correct position, proceed to step S48: shut down the conveyor device 24.

[0120] Step S49: Determine if any other transport trolley 1 has moved to the glue application platform 2; If other transport trolleys 1 have moved to the glue application platform 2, then proceed to step S32: determine whether the vehicle glass has been positioned.

[0121] The configuration of the controller 28 described above ensures the accuracy of the adhesive application process for the vehicle glass and the stability of the vehicle glass during transportation.

[0122] Among them, such as Figure 16 As shown, after the glue applicator 23 is reset, the controller 28 is also configured to: Step S50: Determine if the working data of the adhesive application equipment 10 is normal; If the working data of the glue application equipment 10 is normal, then proceed to step S51: wait for the transport trolley 1 to be pushed out; If the working data of the glue application equipment 10 is abnormal, proceed to step S52: wait for the transport trolley 1 to be pushed out and then reconfirm; It should be noted that after the glue application equipment 10 alarms and before re-determining whether the vehicle glass is in place, the first moving device 25 can be restarted to reposition the vehicle glass onto the conveyor device 24, or the user can manually place the vehicle glass onto the conveyor device 24.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
