[0024] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3The utility model provides an embodiment: a gluing robot arm of an automatic gluing machine, comprising a base plate 1, a control mechanism, a glue supply mechanism and a transmission mechanism. The control mechanism is installed on the top left side of the base plate 1, the glue supply mechanism is installed on the top of the base plate 1 and is located behind the control mechanism, and the transmission mechanism is installed on the top of the base plate 1 and is located on the right side of the control mechanism. The base plate 1 serves as the basic support platform of the entire device, carrying the control mechanism, glue supply mechanism, transmission mechanism and other components to ensure the stability of the entire system. The top of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to a gantry 2, and the bottom of the gantry 2 is fixedly connected to a suspension beam 3. The gantry 2 and the suspension beam 3 provide an installation position and a support structure for the mobile component, ensuring that the mobile component can move stably within a certain spatial range, thereby realizing the gluing operation on workpieces at different positions. The top of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to a support rod 4, which auxiliary supports the suspension beam 3 and the guide rail 10 to enhance the entire structure. In order to ensure the stability of the workpiece, a moving assembly is provided at the bottom of the suspension beam 3, a motor 7 is installed on the outside of the moving assembly, a connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving assembly, a chain 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 8, and cooperates with the guide rail 10 to further ensure the stability and accuracy of the moving assembly during movement, the outside of the support rod 4 is fixedly connected to the guide rail 10, a driving head 11 is installed at the bottom of the moving assembly, the output end of the driving head 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 12, the output end of the connecting seat 12 is fixedly connected to the movable arm 13, the output end of the movable arm 13 is fixedly connected to the movable arm 2 14, the output end of the movable arm 2 14 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 15, the connecting seat 12, the movable arm 1 13, the movable arm 2 14 and the connecting seat 15, these components together constitute a multi-joint robotic arm structure, which can realize flexible rotation at multiple angles, so that the glue gun head can reach various parts of workpieces of different shapes for glue coating operations.
[0025] Reference Figure 3-Figure 5The moving component includes a slide rail 5, the outer side of the slide rail 5 is slidably connected to the moving seat 6, the glue supply mechanism includes a mounting seat 16 and a glue supply device 22, the outer side of the mounting seat 16 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting seat 15, the glue supply device 22 is installed on the top side of the base plate 1, and a 3D vision system device 17 is installed on the outer side of the mounting seat 16. A glue gun head 18 is installed at the bottom of the 3D vision system device 17, and the output end of the glue supply device 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the glue gun head 18 through a conduit. The control mechanism includes an intelligent control device 21, which is installed on the top of the base plate 1. The intelligent control device 21 is electrically connected to the glue supply device 22 and the motor 7. The transmission mechanism includes a production line body 19, which is erected on the top of the base plate 1. A workpiece 20 to be processed is placed on the top of the production line body 19. The automatic gluing system adopts three communication methods: TCP / IP, RS-485 and IO, and adopts a method of controlling each module separately in terms of communication method. The robot's motion trajectory and the start and stop of the glue supply system are controlled by the information intelligent system to ensure the uniformity and continuity of the glue line; the 3D visual guidance is a separate system and communicates separately with the information intelligent system using TCP / IP; the motion control board and the industrial computer also communicate using TCP / IP, and the motion control board uses RS-485 to control the position of the glue coating robot on the track, and uses IO to realize brake lining position detection, production line start and stop control, status detection, human-computer interaction and other functions. One end of the suspension beam 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 4, one end of the guide rail 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the suspension beam 3, one end of the chain 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide rail 10, and the outside of the chain 9 is in contact with the top of the guide rail 10.
[0026] Working principle: First, the workpiece 20 to be processed will be transferred to the appropriate position on the top of the production line body 19. There is a positioning structure on the top of the workpiece 20 to be processed, which can stabilize the position of the workpiece 20 to be processed. Then the entire equipment is started by the intelligent control device 21, and the glue supply device 22 is started to transport the glue to the glue gun head 18 through the conduit. The 3D vision system device 17 will scan the workpiece 20 to be processed and then perform the gluing operation.
[0027] When the automatic gluing system is first started up, it undergoes system setup, parameter calibration, and other adjustments. After this initial setup, subsequent startups require only turning on the power button and waiting for the system to complete a self-test. Once this is complete, the automatic gluing system can be activated. After startup, the system enters standby mode. Once the system detects line blocking, backstopping, and workpiece fixation, it issues a start signal, and the automatic gluing system begins operation. 3D vision scans the workpiece area to be glued, performs model recognition, and plans a gluing trajectory. The resulting trajectory is then transmitted to the robotic arm, which then applies the first pass of glue according to the trajectory. The robotic arm's zero position is used when starting and stopping the system. At this zero position, the glue nozzle is placed in a silicone oil cup to prevent the glue from solidifying. During initial startup, any excess glue at the nozzle tip should be removed to prevent glue path clogging due to prolonged downtime. After a single gluing cycle, the system enters a five-minute wait period, during which the glue gun moves to its waiting position. After the first gluing operation on the workpiece is completed, the automatic gluing system notifies the worker to install the parts in the form of an indicator light. After the worker completes the installation of the parts on both sides, he clicks the gluing button to activate the automatic gluing system, and the gluing robot arm begins the second scan and gluing. If the worker completes the installation of the workpiece within 5 minutes and activates the gluing button, the glue gun will go directly from the waiting position to the workpiece to continue gluing. If no gluing operation is performed within 5 minutes, the robot arm will return directly to the zero point, that is, the silicone oil cup, to prevent the glue in the nozzle from being in contact with the air for too long. After the workpiece is glued, the gluing robot returns to the waiting position and releases a signal to the blocking device on the conveyor line. The blocking and fixing device releases the workpiece, and the production line is started, releasing the currently glued workpiece, completing the gluing operation.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
