Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of adhesive applicator technology, and in particular to an adsorption-type adhesive applicator. Background Technology

[0002] An accessory applicator is a device that applies accessories to products. When the product is thin and easily deformed, it is prone to shaking or becoming uneven during movement, resulting in poor application of the accessories. Existing accessory applicators cannot effectively secure thin and easily deformed products, especially after the product has been secured, it cannot be flattened. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide an adsorption-type accessory applicator, which can move the product by a movable pull line. When the product moves above the vacuum adsorption mechanism, it is adsorbed and fixed by the vacuum adsorption mechanism, and then the accessory is applied to the product by the applicator module. It is suitable for thin and easily deformable products, has a good adsorption and fixing effect, and can flatten the product, achieving a better accessory applicator effect.

[0004] This invention provides an adsorption-fixing auxiliary material applicator for applying auxiliary materials to adsorbed and fixed products, including a frame and a feeding module, an applicator module and a movable pull line disposed on the frame; The movable pull line includes a conveyor belt and a vacuum adsorption mechanism. The conveyor belt has multiple ventilation holes, and the vacuum adsorption mechanism is located below the conveyor belt to create a vacuum environment on the conveyor belt to adsorb the product on the conveyor belt. The material application module is used to attach the auxiliary materials provided by the material supply module to the product that is adsorbed and fixed on the conveyor belt.

[0005] Furthermore, the vacuum adsorption mechanism is provided with an air suction hole, and the air suction direction of the air suction hole is set towards the vent hole, so as to adsorb the product through the vent hole.

[0006] Furthermore, the vacuum adsorption mechanism includes a vacuum tank, a tank cover plate, and a vacuum conveyor; the vacuum tank is a hollow tank with an opening, the tank cover plate is configured to cover the opening of the vacuum tank to form a vacuum cavity, and the suction hole is opened on the tank cover plate; one end of the vacuum conveyor is connected to a motor, and the other end passes through the vacuum tank and communicates with the vacuum cavity.

[0007] Furthermore, the trough cover plate is a flat plate that rests against the bottom of the conveyor belt. The suction holes are divided into two sizes, with multiple large-sized suction holes distributed in a matrix on the trough cover plate, and smaller-sized suction holes are interspersed among the large-sized suction holes.

[0008] Furthermore, the movable pull line also includes multiple rotating shafts and a frame. The rotating shafts are disposed on the frame, and the conveyor belt is sleeved on the rotating shaft to form a loop moving path. The vacuum adsorption mechanism is disposed in the middle of the loop moving path and sandwiched between the upper and lower layers of the conveyor belt.

[0009] Furthermore, the adsorption-type applicator also includes a vision module, which includes a positioning camera and a first light source. The positioning camera is fixedly connected to the frame and mounted above the conveyor belt for taking pictures of the product on the conveyor belt. The first light source is located below the vacuum adsorption mechanism, which is made of a light-transmitting material.

[0029] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” etc., are used merely to distinguish elements with similar properties, not to indicate or imply relative importance or a specific order.

[0030] The terms “include,” “comprising,” or any other variation thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, which includes not only the elements listed but also other elements not expressly listed.

[0031] The following detailed explanation uses specific examples: like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an adsorption-fixing auxiliary material applicator for applying auxiliary materials to adsorbed and fixed products, including a frame 10 and a feeding module 20, an applicator module 30 and a movable pull line 40 disposed on the frame 10. The movable pull line 40 includes a conveyor belt 41 and a vacuum adsorption mechanism 42. The conveyor belt 41 has multiple ventilation holes, and the vacuum adsorption mechanism 42 is located below the conveyor belt 41 to create a vacuum environment on the conveyor belt 41 to adsorb the products on the conveyor belt 41. The material application module 30 is used to attach the auxiliary materials provided by the material supply module 20 to the conveyor belt 41 for adsorption and fixation of the product.

[0032] Specifically, the ventilation holes on the conveyor belt 41 are not shown in the figure. The diameter of the ventilation holes is 2mm, and the spacing between the ventilation holes is 5mm, arranged in a dense matrix on the conveyor belt 41. The ventilation holes do not affect the flow of air and light. The conveyor belt 41 is a belt, and the ventilation holes are designed as dense small holes, which, together with the vacuum adsorption mechanism 42 below, adsorb the product onto the conveyor belt 41 and flatten it.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the vacuum adsorption mechanism 42 is provided with an air suction hole 421, and the air suction direction of the air suction hole 421 is set to face the ventilation hole, so as to adsorb the product through the ventilation hole.

[0034] Specifically, the diameter of the intake hole 421 is larger than the diameter of the vent hole.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the vacuum adsorption mechanism 42 includes a vacuum tank 422, a tank cover plate 423, and a vacuum conveyor 424; the vacuum tank 422 is a hollow tank with an opening, and the tank cover plate 423 is configured to cover the opening of the vacuum tank 422 to form a vacuum cavity, and the suction hole 421 is opened on the tank cover plate 423; one end of the vacuum conveyor 424 is connected to a motor, and the other end passes through the vacuum tank 422 and communicates with the vacuum cavity.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the trough cover plate 423 is a flat plate that is attached to the bottom of the conveyor belt 41. The suction holes 421 are divided into two sizes. Multiple large-sized suction holes 421 are distributed in a matrix on the trough cover plate 423, and small-sized suction holes 421 are interspersed between the large-sized suction holes 421.

[0037] Specifically, the traditional single-size matrix arrangement of air intake holes 421 is only suitable for rectangular products. However, products come in a variety of shapes. Therefore, in this embodiment, small air intake holes 421 are interspersed among the large air intake holes 421 to accommodate irregularly shaped products and adsorb irregular protrusions.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the movable pull wire 40 also includes multiple rotating shafts 43 and a frame 44. The rotating shafts 43 are arranged on the frame 44, and the conveyor belt 41 is sleeved on the rotating shafts 43 to form a loop moving path. The vacuum adsorption mechanism 42 is arranged in the middle of the loop moving path and sandwiched between the upper and lower conveyor belts 41.

[0039] Specifically, the vacuum adsorption mechanism 42 is set between the upper and lower conveyor belts 41, and the vacuum conveyor 424 passes through the side of the frame 44 and is connected to the motor.

[0040] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the adsorption-type applicator also includes a vision module 50, which includes a positioning camera 51 and a first light source 52. The positioning camera 51 is fixedly connected to the frame 10 and is mounted above the conveyor belt 41 for taking pictures of the products on the positioning conveyor belt 41. The first light source 52 is located below the vacuum adsorption mechanism 42, which is made of a light-transmitting material. The light emitted by the first light source 52 is set to pass upward through the vacuum adsorption mechanism 42 and the conveyor belt 41 in sequence to illuminate the product and be photographed by the positioning camera 51.

[0041] Specifically, the high-precision vision module 50 is used to ensure accurate fitting every time. The first light source 52 is set below the vacuum tank 422. The light emitted by the first light source 52 passes through the vacuum tank 422, the tank cover plate 423, and the single-layer conveyor belt 41 from bottom to top to illuminate the bottom of the product, which is used by the positioning camera 51 to more accurately locate the position of the product.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the vision module 50 also includes a second light source 53, which is fixedly connected to the frame 10 and mounted above the conveyor belt 41. The light emitted by the second light source 53 is set to illuminate the product downwards.

[0043] Specifically, the second light source 53, together with the first light source 52, illuminates the product from both the top and bottom directions, and works with the positioning camera 51 to achieve a better positioning effect.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding module 20 includes a feeder 21 and a stripping plate 22. The feeder 21 is used to flatten the auxiliary material on the stripping plate 22.

[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the applicator module 30 includes a suction head 31 and a suction head driving mechanism 32. The suction head driving mechanism 32 is used to drive the suction head 31 to pick up the auxiliary material and move it to be applied to the product on the conveyor belt 41.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the movable pull wire 40 and the feeding module 20 are arranged side by side, and the material application module 30 is mounted above the movable pull wire 40 and the feeding module 20.

[0047] Specifically, the feeding module 20, the attaching module 30, the moving pull wire 40, and the vision module 50 are fixed to the frame 10 with screws.

[0048] In summary, this embodiment of the invention allows the product to be moved via the movable pull line 40. When the product moves above the vacuum adsorption mechanism 42, it is adsorbed and fixed by the vacuum adsorption mechanism 42, and then auxiliary materials are applied to the product via the material application module 30. This is suitable for thin and easily deformable products, providing good adsorption and fixing effects while flattening the product, resulting in better material application.

[0049] Furthermore, the two sizes of suction holes 421 achieve better adsorption effect, making it suitable for various irregularly shaped products and able to adsorb every corner of the flattened product.

[0050] Furthermore, by placing a first light source 52 below the vacuum adsorption mechanism 42 to illuminate the outline of the product from bottom to top, and in conjunction with the positioning camera 51, a better positioning effect is achieved, helping the material application module 30 to accurately apply auxiliary materials. The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
