[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, an automatic glue barrel 4 replacement system is used to remove the empty glue barrel 4 on the glue dispensing machine 1 and install a full glue barrel 4, including:

[0028] A plurality of glue dispensing machines 1, used for performing glue dispensing operations;

[0029] A storage cabinet 2 for storing full glue barrels 4;

[0030] The transport mechanism 3 is used to transport the full glue barrel 4 in the storage cabinet 2 to the position of the glue dispensing machine 1 where the glue barrel 4 needs to be replaced and replace it. It includes an intelligent trolley 301, a manipulator 302 installed on the intelligent trolley 301, and a visual positioning mechanism 303 for positioning the glue barrel 4 on the glue dispensing machine 1. The intelligent trolley 301 is provided with a glue barrel buffer area for storing the full glue barrel 4 to be installed or the empty glue barrel 4 to be disassembled. The intelligent trolley 301 is an AGV, and the visual positioning mechanism 303 is a CCD.

[0031] And a control mechanism, which is connected to the dispensing machine 1, the intelligent vehicle 301, the manipulator 302 and the visual positioning mechanism 303 by signal.

[0032] First, the glue dispensing machine 1 that needs to replace the glue barrel 4 sends a signal, and the smart car 301 drives the manipulator 302 to move to the storage cabinet 2. The manipulator 302 grabs the full glue barrel 4 and stores it in the glue barrel buffer area. Then the smart car 301 moves to the position of the glue dispensing machine 1, and the visual positioning mechanism 303 locates the position of the glue barrel 4 on the glue dispensing machine 1. The manipulator 302 takes out the empty glue barrel 4 and puts it in the glue barrel buffer area, and at the same time grabs the full glue barrel 4 and installs it on the glue dispensing machine 1. The glue dispensing machine 1 continues the glue dispensing operation, and the smart car 301 stores the empty glue barrel 4.

[0033] In some examples, the dispensing machine 1 is provided with a window 101 for the robot 302 to enter and exit, and the window 101 is installed with a safety grating 102 .

[0034] In some examples, the robot arm 302 includes a pneumatic clamp 3021 for clamping the glue barrel 4, and the clamp includes two fingers that can move closer to or farther away from each other, and an arc block is provided on the inner side of each finger to fit the outer wall of the glue barrel 4.

[0035] In some examples, the storage cabinet 2 is provided with an opening and closing door to form a closed chamber, so that the interior of the chamber is kept in a low temperature environment, and the opening and closing door is connected to the control mechanism signal. A plurality of partitions 201 arranged at intervals are fixed transversely inside the chamber, each partition 201 is provided with a support plate 202 at the bottom, and each partition 201 is provided with a plurality of storage holes for inserting the glue barrel 4, the storage holes correspond to the glue barrel 4 one by one, and each glue barrel 4 is inserted into its corresponding storage hole for storage, and the support plate 202 located at the bottom of the partition 201 can support the bottom of the glue barrel 4.

[0036] In some examples, the glue barrel buffer area is provided with a first bracket 304 for placing an empty glue barrel 4 and a second bracket 305 for placing a full glue barrel 4, the first bracket 304 and the second bracket 305 both include a plug-in board 3041 and a support plate 3042 located at the bottom of the plug-in board 3041, each plug-in board 3041 is provided with a plurality of plug-in holes for plugging the glue barrel 4, the plug-in holes correspond to the glue barrel 4 one by one and each glue barrel 4 is inserted into its corresponding plug-in hole, and the support plate 3042 supports the bottom of the glue barrel 4

[0037] In some examples, the glue barrel 4 includes a barrel body 401 and a one-way valve 402 installed at the glue outlet at the bottom of the barrel body 401. The one-way valve 402 is normally closed, so it can prevent the glue barrel 4 from leaking glue during replacement. When the glue barrel 4 is installed on the glue dispensing machine 1 and plugged and fixed with the glue inlet connector, the glue inlet connector triggers the one-way valve to open it, and the glue in the glue barrel 4 can enter the glue dispensing head through the one-way valve and the glue inlet connector in turn.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] First, the glue dispensing machine 1 that needs to replace the glue barrel 4 sends a signal, and the smart car 301 drives the manipulator 302 to move to the storage cabinet 2. The manipulator 302 grabs the full glue barrel 4 and stores it in the glue barrel buffer area. Then the smart car 301 moves to the position of the glue dispensing machine 1, and the visual positioning mechanism 303 locates the position of the glue barrel 4 on the glue dispensing machine 1. The manipulator 302 takes out the empty glue barrel 4 and puts it in the glue barrel 4 buffer area, and grabs the full glue barrel 4 and installs it on the glue dispensing machine 1. The glue dispensing machine 1 continues the glue dispensing operation, and at the same time, the smart car 301 takes the empty glue barrel 4 to be stored.

[0040] Based on the above ideal embodiments of the utility model, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without deviating from the technical concept of the utility model through the above description. The technical scope of the utility model is not limited to the content of the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
