When in use, it is necessary to manually take out and put the gun, set the filling amount and manually fill.

[0003] The prior art has the following defects:

[0004] The grease filling machine and sealant filling machine are placed next to the vehicle line. When the vehicle's slewing support needs to be filled with grease, the operator must first walk to the grease filling machine to remove the scanner, then walk to the vehicle to scan the vehicle's QR code to obtain the filling information, then walk back to the equipment to put down the scanner, remove the filling gun, drag the gun barrel, walk to the side of the vehicle, aim the gun head at the slewing support cavity, and start filling. During the process, the filling gun needs to be moved to point to different parts of the slewing support cavity to prevent grease from being added, until the set filling amount is reached and then the filling gun is put back into the equipment. When the vehicle's slewing support needs to be filled with sealant (gluing), the operator first walks to the sealant filling machine to remove the filling gun, then walks to the vicinity of the vehicle, aims the gun head at the sealing surface of the slewing support, and starts gluing. During the process, the filling gun needs to be moved along the trajectory of the sealing surface. During the movement, the moving speed needs to be strictly controlled to prevent glue breakage and glue accumulation. At the same time, the bolt holes need to be avoided. After the entire sealing surface is coated, the gluing is completed and the filling gun is returned to the equipment.

[0005] The above operation will result in heavy workload and work intensity for operators, low production efficiency, and will test the operator's operating level. Once the grease is added or the glue is applied unevenly, this part of the work will need to be reworked, reducing production efficiency and even affecting equipment performance.
