Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sealant applicators, in particular to a novel automatic sealant applicator head. Background Art

[0002] The basic principle of current traditional dispensing machines generally is to extrude glue by controlling air pressure, and conduct quantitative control of the glue through a voltage stabilizing system. After a manual switch is pressed to give an electrical signal to the automatic dispensing machine, the main body of the automatic dispensing machine opens the air source through a solenoid valve, and controls the air source pressure through a pressure sensor, then gives a stable pressure to the head. The head is a glue gun connected by an air pressure pipe. At this time, the glue in the glue gun is under the action of pressure and is extruded through the needle at the head of the glue gun. After the manual switch is released, the solenoid valve closes the air source and releases the pressure at the same time, so that the air pressure in the glue gun is kept consistent with the external atmospheric pressure, the glue in the glue gun loses pressure, and the extrusion action stops, so as to achieve the effect of automatic dispensing.

[0003] The current problem is that the device only "switches" the dispensing through air pressure, or controls the amount of glue by the air pressure or the thickness of the needle. However, generally the products to be dispensed are static, while dispensing is a dynamic process. At this time, the control of the amount of glue is not only controlled by the air pressure or the thickness of the needle, but the moving speed of the glue gun plays a decisive role in the amount of dispensed glue. For many application scenarios, manual dispensing is used, and the control of the speed by manual dispensing is very unstable, which leads to the final amount of dispensed glue being very unstable. The basic solution is to use a metering screw valve (in fact, a single screw valve does not overcome the problem of the dynamic speed of dispensing) and a dispensing support wheel for dispensing. The dispensing support wheel can support the glue head to a certain extent, and then a photoelectric or inductive sensor scans and identifies the minute changes in the rolling of the support wheel, and converts them into electrical signals, and quantitatively extrudes glue to the metering screw valve through the electrical signals, so as to introduce the variable of speed into the amount of glue, so as to achieve the effect of dynamic quantitative control of the amount of glue; The metering screw valve: mainly composed of a servo motor, a screw, and a stator. The glue is connected to the stator through a connecting pipe. There is a screw connected to the servo motor inside the stator. After the servo motor receives the electrical signal, it drives the screw to rotate quantitatively, and the glue can flow and be extruded quantitatively between the screw and the stator.

[0004] In fact, glue dispensers are already very advanced now, especially when combined with automation. Existing manual glue dispensers can make the glue dispenser move at a constant speed through robotic arms and other means, and the amount of glue can be evenly coated on the object through the extrusion pressure and the moving speed of the robotic arm. There are mainly the following three types of existing automatic glue dispensers: ① A constant air pressure machine applies pressure to the glue tube to make the glue tube discharge glue relatively evenly, but this device cannot provide a constant speed, so the glue finally applied to the product is actually uneven; ② On the basis of ①, a reciprocating beam is added to enable a constant glue dispensing speed, but this device has certain requirements for the size of the construction product and is relatively limited in the construction of irregular products; ③ Those equipped with robotic arms can provide a stable feeding speed through the robotic arms, so that relatively even glue can be applied to the product, but the cost is relatively high. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a new type of automatic glue dispenser head in order to solve the above problems.

[0006] The present utility model realizes the above purpose through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A new type of automatic glue dispenser head includes a metering screw valve. An inlet for glue is arranged on the upper side surface of the metering screw valve, and an outlet for glue is arranged at the lower end of the metering screw valve. A roller with stripes on its surface is fixedly installed on the lower side surface of the metering screw valve. A sensor is fixedly installed at the position of the metering screw valve corresponding to the roller. The sensor serves as a fixed grating and the roller serves as a moving grating to form a capacitive grating sensor for obtaining speed. The capacitive grating sensor is electrically connected to a servo motor inside the metering screw valve.

[0008] Preferably: The metering screw valve includes a servo motor, a screw, and a stator. Glue enters the stator through the inlet for glue. A screw for pushing the glue is arranged inside the stator. A servo motor for driving the screw to rotate is fixedly installed on the stator. After receiving an electrical signal, the servo motor drives the screw to rotate quantitatively, and the glue can flow quantitatively between the screw and the stator and be extruded.

[0009] Preferably: The inlet for glue is connected to an external glue supply device through a pipeline.

[0010] Preferably: The capacitive grating sensor is connected to the servo motor through a signal conversion module. The signal conversion module includes a signal conditioning chip, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) chip, a microprocessor or a DSP chip.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0012] By taking the moving speed of the roller as a variable to control the rotational speed of the servo motor in real time, a dynamic balance is formed between the glue discharging speed and the moving speed of the metering screw valve. Regardless of the fast or slow moving speed of the glue application, the servo motor will correspondingly adjust the rotational speed of the screw to achieve an adaptive adjustment of the glue discharging speed of the metering screw valve, solving the problem of uneven glue application caused by the unstable glue application speed during manual operation; the problem of unstable handholding is solved by the roller support.
