[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0024] Example 1: See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a device for applying auxiliary materials includes a vertical plate 1, a joint 2 provided in the middle of the top surface of the vertical plate 1, and an industrial camera 4 provided on the vertical plate 1 beside the joint 2;

[0025] At least one airway plate 5 is provided on both sides of the vertical plate 1 . Each of the airway plates 5 is connected to the vertical plate 1 via at least one cylinder 6 . The cylinder 6 is configured to drive the airway plate 5 to move up and down.

[0026] An air cavity 7 is provided in the airway plate 5, a plurality of air holes 8 communicating with the air cavity 7 are provided at the bottom of the airway plate 5, and an air pipe interface 3 communicating with the air cavity 7 is provided on the top or side wall of the airway plate 5; in this embodiment, Figure 4 In the embodiment, the trachea interface is arranged on the sidewall of the airway plate. Of course, the trachea interface can also be arranged on the top of the airway plate.

[0027] A suction head 9 and / or a plug 10 are detachably mounted on the air hole 8 . The suction head 9 is used to connect the air cavity 7 with the outside, and the plug 10 is used to block the air hole 8 .

[0028] In this embodiment, during actual use, the vertical plate is connected to a manipulator via the joint. The manipulator can move to three different positions, thereby driving the vertical plate to any desired position. When applying auxiliary materials to a computer frame, a conveyor mechanism is provided to transport and position the computer frame. Multiple feeding mechanisms are provided adjacent to the conveyor belt, each feeding mechanism providing a type of auxiliary material. In this utility model, the number of airway plates on both sides of the vertical plate is adjusted within an optimal timeframe based on the number of feeding mechanisms the manipulator can reach. Preferably, in this embodiment, four airway plates are provided on the left side of the vertical plate, and three airway plates are provided on the right side of the vertical plate. The four airway plates on the left side of the vertical plate can grasp two types of auxiliary materials. The three airway plates on the left side of the vertical plate simultaneously grasp three identical auxiliary materials (these three auxiliary materials are fed simultaneously by the same feeding mechanism), while the other airway plate on the left side of the vertical plate is used to grasp a different type of auxiliary material. The three airway plates on the right side of the vertical plate can respectively grab three different auxiliary materials, or grab three identical auxiliary materials. Preferably, taking the three airway plates on the right side of the vertical plate grabbing three identical auxiliary materials as an example, the auxiliary material pasting device can cover three auxiliary material pasting processes. During each auxiliary material pasting process, after the computer frame moves to the side of the corresponding feeding mechanism, the robot moves to the feeding mechanism, takes a picture of the auxiliary material through the industrial camera to locate it, and then adjusts the position of the vertical plate so that the corresponding airway plate is above the auxiliary material. The vertical plate is then moved down so that the suction head is against the auxiliary material. The air pipe interface is connected to the air source through the air pipe, and the air source gives negative pressure to the air cavity in the airway plate. The corresponding suction head is given negative pressure through the connected air holes to suck the auxiliary material. The auxiliary material is then sucked up by the robot. The vertical plate is then driven by the robot to move above the product. The industrial camera is first used to take a picture to locate it, and then the robot adjusts the posture and position of the vertical plate so that the auxiliary material is facing the position to be pasted. The robot then moves the vertical plate so that the auxiliary material is pasted on the required position of the computer frame. The negative pressure of the air source is eliminated, and positive pressure is given to blow up the auxiliary material through the suction head. In this way, when the robot drives the vertical plate away from the product, the auxiliary material will not move with it, thereby ensuring the stability and quality of the auxiliary material pasting. When the product enters the next process, the robot uses another airway plate to absorb and apply the auxiliary materials. This structure is suitable for applying auxiliary materials with small batch requirements. This method of applying auxiliary materials does not require manual application, can ensure the application quality, reduce labor costs, and ensure application efficiency (installing a robot on each feeding mechanism will increase the application speed, but it will be more expensive).

[0029] In this embodiment, if the airway plate is small, a single cylinder is used to drive it. If the airway plate is large, multiple cylinders can be used to drive the airway plate simultaneously. In this embodiment, there is a larger airway plate on the left side of the vertical plate. Two cylinders are used to connect this airway plate to the vertical plate, and these two cylinders simultaneously drive the airway plate up and down.

[0030] In this embodiment, the cylinder is set up so that when the vertical plate drives the corresponding airway plate to move above the auxiliary material, or moves to the point where the product needs to be covered with the auxiliary material, the cylinder drives the airway plate down, so that the suction head rests on the auxiliary material for adsorption, or drives the auxiliary material down and presses the auxiliary material tightly against the product. The last stroke is driven by the cylinder, and the adjacent cylinders will not affect the airway plates on the side, and the airway plates that are not needed will not follow the decline and cause damage and other problems.

[0031] Among them, a larger number of air holes can be pre-set on the airway plate. Since the auxiliary materials attached to the computer frame are labels, tapes, foams, etc., which are flexible materials, in order to prevent the flexible materials from being deformed during adsorption, grasping, and attachment, during debugging, it is recommended to install suction heads on the corresponding air holes for the adsorption of auxiliary materials, and install plugs on the corresponding air holes to block the air holes. Since the air cavity is fixed and the negative pressure of the air source is relatively stable, the more suction heads there are, the smaller the suction force of each suction head will be, but the suction force at different positions of the product will be more uniform. The fewer suction heads there are, the greater the suction force of the suction head will be. The position and number of suction heads and plugs should be adjusted according to different auxiliary materials and different auxiliary material sizes. The plug can be used to seal the corresponding air hole, that is, it is not applicable to the air hole. It can be selected and adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the output shaft at the bottom of the cylinder 6 is connected to the top of the airway plate 5 via a connecting piece 11.

[0033] The connecting member includes an L-shaped plate, which includes a bottom plate 12 and a vertical plate 13 that are perpendicular to each other. The bottom of the vertical plate 13 is vertically connected to the top outer side of the bottom plate 12, the top surface of the airway plate 5 is connected to the bottom of the bottom plate 12, and the output shaft at the bottom of the cylinder 6 is connected to the top surface of the bottom plate 12.

[0034] The L-shaped plate is used to connect the cylinder and the airway plate. The output shaft of the cylinder does not need to be directly connected to the airway plate, and the connecting piece plays a role of a transfer.

[0035] Furthermore, a vertical slide groove 14 is provided on the outer surface of the cylinder 6, and the vertical slide groove 14 is arranged parallel to the output shaft of the cylinder. A groove is provided on the inner side surface of the vertical plate, and a slider is installed in the groove. The slider is slidably connected to the vertical slide groove.

[0036] By arranging a vertical slide groove on the side wall of the cylinder and a slider on the inner side of the vertical plate, the slider and the vertical slide groove of the cylinder are connected vertically. This can ensure that the moving trajectory of the connecting part remains parallel to the output shaft of the cylinder, ensure the stability of the moving trajectory of the airway plate, and ensure the accuracy and quality of material suction and coating. At the same time, the output shaft of the cylinder will not be subjected to radial force, thereby preventing deformation of the cylinder output shaft, reducing the maintenance rate of the cylinder, and extending its service life.

[0037] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the inner wall of a portion of the cylinder 6 is connected to the upright 1 via a T-shaped plate 15. In this embodiment, the cylinder on the right side of the upright is connected to the upright via the T-shaped plate. This allows for a larger distance between the cylinder and the upright, allowing the size of the T-shaped plate to be adjusted based on the size of the computer frame, the feed mechanism, and other configurations. This also prevents interference between the airway plates on the left and right sides of the upright, ensuring stability and quality in material handling and application. Furthermore, the use of materials is minimized, reducing costs.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a bracket 16 is provided on the left side of the vertical plate 1, the top of the bracket 16 is connected to the top of the vertical plate 1, the industrial camera 4 is installed on the outer wall of the bracket 16, and the connector 2 is installed on the top of the bracket 16.

[0039] The industrial camera, the connector and the vertical plate are connected by using a bracket. The width of the vertical plate is smaller than the width of the connector. Therefore, the setting of the bracket facilitates the installation of the connector and the installation of the industrial camera.

[0040] A light shielding plate 17 is further provided at the bottom of the bracket 16 . A through hole 18 is provided in the middle of the light shielding plate 17 . The industrial camera 4 is arranged directly above the through hole 18 .

[0041] The setting of the shading plate and the through hole makes it easier for the industrial camera to focus light and to shoot and position auxiliary materials and computer frames. It also prevents the lens at the bottom of the industrial camera from being damaged, thus playing a protective role.
