Product. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Attached Figure 1-4 The cleaning, gluing and detecting integrated machine described in the utility model comprises a machine platform 1, a fixture 2 arranged on the machine platform 1 for positioning a product 18, an XYZ axis linear module 3 arranged on the machine platform 1, a mounting plate 4 arranged at the driving end of the XYZ axis linear module 3, a cleaning component 5 and a gluing component 6 respectively arranged on the mounting plate 4, and a visual detection component 7 located above the fixture 2;

[0028] The cleaning assembly 5 includes a plasma cleaning head 51 for cleaning the product 18 on the fixture 2 and a lifting cylinder 52 for driving the plasma cleaning head 51 to rise and fall;

[0029] The glue coating component 6 is located on one side of the cleaning component 5 , and includes a glue gun 61 for coating glue on the product 18 on the fixture 2 , and a glue supply barrel 62 for supplying material to the glue gun 61 .

[0030] During operation, the product 18 is first placed on the fixture 2 for positioning, and then the equipment is started. The lifting cylinder 52 drives the plasma cleaning head 51 to descend, forming a height difference with the glue gun 61 to avoid collision between the glue gun 61 and the product 18 during the cleaning process, and then the cleaning component 5 is driven by the XYZ axis linear module 3 to clean the surface of the product 18; when the cleaning is completed, the lifting cylinder 52 drives the plasma cleaning head 51 to rise, and then the XYZ axis linear module 3 drives the gluing component 6 to gluing the product 18; during the gluing process or after the gluing is completed, the visual inspection component 7 is used to detect whether the glue line is broken. Once the glue is broken, the machine is immediately stopped and an alarm is sounded to avoid subsequent rework and improve work efficiency; when the gluing is detected to meet the requirements, it is reminded to manually unload the material.

[0031] Furthermore, the glue gun 61 adopts a TD-10TC screw valve, which is a new generation of fluid conveyor screw distribution concept. The screw performs continuous circulating motion in a closed quantitative cavity, thereby completing uninterrupted metering and transportation; the new generation of screw valves are suitable for fluid materials with different viscosities such as low, medium and high. The closed metering cavity solves the problem that conventional screw valves cannot cut off low-viscosity materials; at the same time, the corrosion-resistant wetted parts are suitable for materials with different chemical properties; the rotating rotor moves the fluid in a tightly sealed cavity through the fluid chamber of the stator to generate a fluid volume flow, which does not change the fluid structural performance; since it is a prior art, this application does not introduce its structure in detail.

[0032] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, the machine 1 is provided with an ejector pin 8; the ejector pin 8 is used to clear the hardened glue at the screw valve outlet; specifically, when the glue at the screw valve outlet is hardened, the screw valve is driven to move by the XYZ axis linear module 3, so that the ejector pin 8 is inserted into the screw valve outlet to clear the glue at the screw valve outlet, without manual operation, and with high efficiency.

[0033] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, the machine 1 is provided with a glue discharge assembly 9 for storing waste glue; the glue discharge assembly 9 includes a glue discharge rack 91 and a glue discharge box 92 movably arranged on the glue discharge rack 91; when the equipment is shut down for a long time, in order to prevent the glue at the glue outlet of the screw valve from contacting the air and deteriorating, the glue at the glue outlet of the screw valve can be discharged into the glue discharge box 92 during the initial glue application; wherein the glue discharge box 92 is movably arranged on the glue discharge rack 91, so as to be easily removed for cleaning or replacement.

[0034] Furthermore, the glue supply barrel 62 adopts a pneumatic glue supply method, and is provided with a low liquid level detection sensor inside, which can realize a low liquid level alarm and remind the staff to replenish glue.

[0035] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, the jig 2 includes a base 21, a plurality of connecting holes 22 arranged on the base 21, and a plurality of positioning posts 23 vertically arranged on the base 21 and corresponding to the positions of the positioning holes on the product 18; the top of each of the positioning posts 23 is a boss structure; the jig 2 is fixed to the machine 1 through the plurality of connecting holes 22; when working: the product 18 is directly placed on the jig 2, so that the tops of the plurality of positioning posts 23 are inserted into the positioning holes of the product 18; since the tops of the positioning posts 23 are all boss structures, not only can the product 18 be positioned, but also the product 18 can be suspended, which is particularly suitable for products 18 with irregular surfaces; when replacing the product 18, since the jig 2 is fixed to the machine 1 through the plurality of connecting holes 22, it can be replaced synchronously.

[0036] Further, if Figure 2As shown, the machine 1 is provided with a protective cover 10 with a front opening; the visual detection component 7 is arranged on the top surface inside the protective cover 10, with a large detection range, and includes a camera 71 and a light source 72 for detecting whether the glue line is broken.

[0037] Further, if Figure 1-3 As shown, a button panel 11 is provided on the front of the machine 1 to facilitate the staff to operate the equipment. Safety gratings 12 are provided on both sides of the front opening of the protective cover 10 to play a safety protection role and prevent the staff from accidentally reaching into the equipment and getting injured when the equipment is working.

[0038] Further, if Figure 1-2 As shown, an adjustable support frame 13 is also provided on the front side of the protective cover 10; the support frame 13 is used to place an external visual display 14, a mouse and a keyboard, etc.; an alarm light 15 for displaying the working status is also provided on the top of the protective cover 10 to remind the staff.

[0039] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, the two sides and the back of the protective cover 10 are provided with openable protective windows 17 for daily maintenance; the protective windows 17 are provided with protective plates made of transparent materials for observing the internal working conditions.

[0040] Further, if Figure 1-2 As shown, the bottom of the machine 1 is provided with a plurality of casters 16 with supporting functions; when fixing the equipment, the casters are folded up and the feet are on the ground, the level can be precisely adjusted for stable support; when moving the equipment, the casters are lowered and the feet are off the ground, and the equipment can be moved at will.

[0041] The above are only specific application examples of the utility model, and do not constitute any limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Any technical solution formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent replacement falls within the protection scope of the utility model.
