[0026] The present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and optional embodiments. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0027] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the dispensing structure of the first embodiment of the present application; Figure 1As shown, a dispensing structure 100 is disclosed, which includes a conveying component 110, a dispensing component 120 and a detection component 130; the conveying component 110 is used to convey the product to be dispensed, such as the atomizing head 300; the dispensing component 120 is arranged on the conveying component 110, and dispenses the product to be dispensed conveyed by the conveying component 110, mainly dispensing the protruding part of the heating wire 310 on the atomizing head 300 to prevent the heating wire 310 from loosening; the detection component 130 is arranged on the conveying component 110, and is used to detect the product after dispensing, and record the dispensing products whose dispensing accuracy does not meet the preset requirements, so as to avoid customer complaints due to products with insufficient accuracy after leaving the factory, thereby reducing the user experience.

[0028] In this embodiment, the dispensing of the heating wire 310 in the atomizing head 300 and the inspection after dispensing are both completed on the conveying component 110, without the need for human intervention. The dispensing structure 100 of this application is equivalent to realizing dispensing and inspection on a single production line, which is beneficial to improving the factory efficiency of the product.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, as the second embodiment of the present application, this embodiment is a further refinement and improvement of the first embodiment. The dispensing structure 100 includes a three-axis module 140, and the three-axis module 140 is connected to the dispensing component 120. The dispensing component 120 is arranged on the three-axis module 140. The three-axis module 140 is used to control the dispensing component 120 to move above the product to be dispensed to realize the dispensing operation. The three-axis module 140 can control the dispensing component 120 to move forward, backward, left and right to control the precise dispensing of glue.

[0030] Generally, the dispensing component 120 also includes a sensor 190, which is arranged on the side of the three-axis module 140 away from the detection component 130. The sensor 190 is used to detect the inflow and outflow of the transport carrier 111 on the conveyor line 112 in the sensing transmission component 110. Among them, the dispensing structure 100 also includes a lifting component 170 and a first fixing component 181. The transmission component 110 includes a conveyor line 112 and a transport carrier 111 arranged on the conveyor line 112. The product to be dispensed is arranged on the transport carrier 111. The lifting component 170 is used to lift the transport carrier 111. The first fixing component 181 clamps and fixes the product to be dispensed on the transport carrier 111. The three-axis module 140 controls the dispensing component 120 to move to the first fixing component 181. The dispensing component 120 dispenses the product to be dispensed clamped and fixed by the first fixing component 181.

[0031] Furthermore, the dispensing structure 100 includes a first photoelectric sensor 151 and a first blocking cylinder 161. The first photoelectric sensor 151 is arranged on the side of the first blocking cylinder 161 away from the sensor 190. The first photoelectric sensor 151 is connected to the three-axis module 140 and the first blocking cylinder 161. After the first photoelectric sensor 151 senses the transport carrier 111, it controls the first blocking cylinder 161 to stop the conveyor line 112; the first photoelectric sensor 151 is used to sense the transport carrier 111 of the conveying component 110, and control the first blocking cylinder 161 to lift upward, blocking the product to be dispensed from continuing to be conveyed on the conveying component 110, and sending a signal to the three-axis module 140, so that the three-axis module 140 controls the dispensing component 120 to move above the product to be dispensed to realize the dispensing operation. After the dispensing is completed, the first blocking cylinder 161 descends, so that the transport carrier 111 is conveyed to the next workstation to realize the detection of the next workstation.

[0032] Among them, the dispensing component 120 includes at least four dispensing cylinders 121, and the three-axis module 140 controls the dispensing cylinder 121 to move forward, backward, left and right. Each dispensing cylinder 121 realizes two dispensings. A detachable receiving part 122 is provided under the dispensing cylinder 121, and the receiving part 122 is used to accommodate the glue dripping from the dispensing cylinder 121.

[0033] There are generally eight workstations for products to be glued on the carrier. When the four glue dispensing cylinders 121 are working, they dispense once at two workstations on each atomizing head 300. After dispensing, the first blocking cylinder 161 descends and no longer stops the transport carrier 111. The glued products move along the conveyor line 112 with the transport carrier 111 to the bottom of the detection component 130 for inspection. At the same time, the lifting component 170 will also descend, and will rise and block again after the second batch of atomizing heads 300 that need to be glued are transported by the transport carrier 111.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, as the third embodiment of the present application, it is a further refinement and improvement of any of the above embodiments. The detection component 130 mainly detects whether the glue is dispensed in place and whether the glue is dispensed accurately. Generally, the detection component 130 includes a camera module 131 and a judgment and recording module 132. The camera module 131 takes an image of the product after dispensing, and the judgment and recording module 132 judges whether the dispensing accuracy of the product after dispensing meets the preset requirements based on the image, and records the dispensing products that do not meet the preset requirements.

[0035] In order to make the taken photos clearer and avoid the influence of darkness in the photos on the accuracy of judgment, the detection component 130 also includes a light source 133, which is a ring light source 133. When the product after gluing moves to the middle position of the ring light source 133, the light source 133 is turned on to illuminate the product after gluing, and the camera module 131 is used to capture the image.

[0036] Furthermore, in order to avoid the conveying line 112 from transporting during shooting, and to avoid the product to be inspected that stops under the camera module 131 from moving back and forth and left and right, the product to be inspected, that is, the product after gluing, is usually fixed. Generally, the detection component 130 includes a second fixing component 182, a second photoelectric sensor 152 and a second blocking cylinder 162. The second fixing component 182 is arranged on the conveying component 110 and is used to clamp the product after gluing to achieve fixation. The second blocking cylinder 162 is used to block the product to be gluing from continuing to be transported on the conveying component 110.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, as the fourth embodiment of the present application, a dispensing device 200 is disclosed, which includes the dispensing structure 100 and the machine platform 210 as described in any of the above embodiments, and the dispensing structure 100 is arranged on the machine platform 210.

[0038] It should be noted that the concept of this application can form a large number of embodiments, but the length of the application document is limited and it is impossible to list them one by one. Therefore, under the premise of no conflict, the embodiments or technical features described above can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments. After the embodiments or technical features are combined, the original technical effects will be enhanced.

[0039] The above content is a further detailed description of the present application in conjunction with specific optional implementation methods, and the specific implementation of the present application cannot be considered to be limited to these descriptions. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the present application belongs, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, which should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
