Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle manufacturing equipment, in particular to multi-mode flexible glue coating equipment. Background Art

[0002] There are currently two ways of gluing in car body shops: manual gluing and robot gluing. Manual gluing with pneumatic glue guns has a series of problems such as difficult to control the amount of glue, deviation in the gluing position, and poor consistency due to the influence of human skills. It is gradually being replaced by robot gluing technology.

[0003] In the prior art, robot gluing generally uses a robot carrying an automatic glue gun of a certain type to apply glue. A single robot cannot complete more than three different types of gluing operations within the cycle. If this is achieved by adding robots, a large number of robots are required, resulting in high investment costs. At the same time, the utilization efficiency of the robots is low, and the production cycle is low. In addition, more space is needed to arrange different gluing robots, which occupies a large area. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a multi-mode flexible gluing equipment, which integrates three gluing guns to improve the gluing efficiency and realize the selection of a suitable gluing gun according to the workpiece model and structure. Since the second gluing gun and the third gluing gun can independently adjust the longitudinal height position, the gluing operation of the workpiece with complex structure can be realized.

[0005] In order to achieve the purpose of the utility model, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] According to one aspect of the utility model, a multi-mode flexible gluing equipment is provided, including a robot, a bracket, a first gluing gun, a second gluing gun, a third gluing gun, a first transverse sliding mechanism, a first longitudinal sliding mechanism and a second longitudinal sliding mechanism.

[0010] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second mounting plate and the first mounting plate are both L-shaped.

[0011] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the third mounting plate is located on one side of the first mounting plate.

[0012] According to an embodiment of the utility model, at least one fourth glue coating gun is further included, and the bracket further includes a fifth mounting plate, the fifth mounting plate is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate, and the fourth glue coating gun is installed on the fifth mounting plate.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the utility model, it also includes a second transverse sliding mechanism and a third longitudinal sliding mechanism, the second transverse sliding mechanism is installed on the fifth mounting plate, the third longitudinal sliding mechanism is installed on the second transverse sliding mechanism, and the fourth glue gun is installed on the third longitudinal sliding mechanism.

[0014] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the first glue coating gun is a spiral glue dispensing gun.

[0015] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the second glue gun and the third glue gun both dispense glue in strip form.

[0016] An embodiment of the present invention has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0017] The utility model is a multi-mode flexible gluing equipment, which realizes the selection of gluing mode according to the workpiece model and workpiece position.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be comprehensive and complete and fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.

[0026] The terms "a", "an", "the", and "said" are used to indicate the presence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms "comprising" and "having" are used to express an open-ended inclusive meaning and mean that additional elements / components / etc. may be present in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a multi-mode flexible gluing equipment of an embodiment of the utility model includes a robot 1, a bracket 2, a first gluing gun 3, a second gluing gun 4, a third gluing gun 5, a first transverse sliding mechanism 6, a first longitudinal sliding mechanism 7 and a second longitudinal sliding mechanism 8.

[0028] The robot 1 has a multi-axis motion mechanical arm 11, which can rotate and swing around a hinge point. The control of the robot 1 includes a gluing mode 1 and a gluing mode 2.

[0029] One end of the bracket 2 is mounted on the mechanical arm 11. Preferably, a mounting flange is provided on the mechanical arm 11, and one end of the bracket 2 is provided with a mounting hole corresponding to the through hole of the mounting flange, and the bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the flange by bolts.

[0030] The first glue coating gun 3 and the first transverse sliding mechanism 6 are both installed on the bracket 2 . Preferably, the first glue coating gun 3 is located at the other end of the bracket 2 , and the first transverse sliding mechanism 6 is located at one side of the bracket 2 .

[0031] The first transverse sliding mechanism 6 is provided with two slides, which are spaced apart. The first transverse sliding mechanism 6 drives the two slides to slide transversely. The first longitudinal sliding mechanism 7 and the second longitudinal sliding mechanism 8 are respectively installed on the two slides.

[0032] The second glue coating gun 4 is mounted on the first longitudinal sliding mechanism 7 , and the first longitudinal sliding mechanism 7 drives the second glue coating gun 4 to slide longitudinally.

[0033] The third glue coating gun 5 is mounted on the second longitudinal sliding mechanism 8 , and the second longitudinal sliding mechanism 8 drives the third glue coating gun 5 to slide longitudinally.

[0034] The gluing mode is selected according to the model and structure of the workpiece 9. For example, in gluing mode 1, the robot 1 rotates the bracket 2 so that the first gluing gun 3 rotates to a working angle, and the second gluing gun 4 and the third gluing gun 5 rotate to a non-working angle.

[0035] The robot 1 moves the first glue gun 3 to the working position to apply glue. After the gluing is completed, the robot 1 moves the first glue gun 3 to the non-working position.

[0036] In the glue coating mode 1, the type of glue coated by the first glue coating gun 3 is A, and the glue dispensing form of the first glue coating gun 3 is spiral.

[0037] For example, in the gluing mode 2, the robot 1 rotates the support 2 so that the second gluing gun 4 and the third gluing gun 5 rotate to a working angle, and the first gluing gun 3 rotates to a non-working angle.

[0038] The robot 1 moves the second glue gun 4 and the third glue gun 5 to the working position for gluing. After the gluing is completed, the robot 1 moves the second glue gun 4 and the third glue gun 5 to the non-working position.

[0039] Since the second gluing gun 4 and the third gluing gun 5 can move laterally and longitudinally, when gluing a workpiece 9 with a complex structure, the longitudinal height positions of the second gluing gun 4 and the third gluing gun 5 can be independently adjusted according to the structure of the workpiece 9 to achieve gluing operations on workpieces with complex structures.

[0040] For example, in glue coating mode 2, the second glue coating gun 4 coats glue of type B, and the third glue coating gun 5 coats glue of type C, so that mode 2 coats two different types of glue at the same time, thereby improving glue coating efficiency. For example, the second glue coating gun 4 and the third glue coating gun 5 discharge glue in the form of strips.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second mounting plate 22 and the first mounting plate 21 are L-shaped, and the third mounting plate 23 is located on one side of the first mounting plate 21, so that when the first gluing gun 3 is at a working angle, the second gluing gun 4 and the third gluing gun 5 are at a non-working angle to avoid affecting the gluing stroke.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least one fourth glue gun (not shown in the figure) is also included, and the bracket 2 also includes a fifth mounting plate 25, the fifth mounting plate 25 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 21, and the fourth glue gun is installed on the fifth mounting plate 25 to further improve the gluing efficiency.
