[0002] In modern manufacturing, dispensing technology, as a crucial production process, is widely used in various fields, including electronics, automotive, and medical. Traditional dispensing machines typically utilize linear modules for dispensing, a method that presents numerous limitations in practical applications. First, their relatively simple dispensing methods make them difficult to adapt to complex product structures and diverse dispensing requirements. For example, for products requiring multi-angle dispensing, traditional dispensing machines often lack precision, resulting in poor dispensing quality or requiring multiple equipment adjustments, severely impacting production efficiency.

[0003] Secondly, existing dispensing machines typically only work with a single type of glue, making them unable to meet production requirements requiring different glues for the same product. This limitation necessitates the installation of multiple specialized dispensing machines on the production line, increasing equipment costs and occupying valuable production space. Furthermore, due to the structural limitations of their linear modules, traditional dispensing machines can only process a small number of products at a time, making them difficult to meet the demands of high-volume production. Frequent loading and unloading operations also increase labor costs and production cycles.

[0004] With the increasing complexity of product design and the continuous improvement of production efficiency requirements, these shortcomings of traditional dispensing machines have become increasingly prominent. Therefore, the development of a new type of dispensing equipment that can adapt to various dispensing needs, improve production efficiency, and reduce labor costs has become an urgent need in the industry.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Please see the attached Figure 1 The utility model provides a universal and efficient dispensing machine, comprising:

[0031] Chassis 1;

[0032] A workbench 2 is installed on the chassis 1;

[0033] The dispensing mechanism 3 includes at least two dispensing valves 31, at least two glue cartridges 32, and at least two glue valve controllers 33. The glue cartridges 32 are connected to the dispensing valves 31, and the at least two glue cartridges 32 are used to store the same or different types of glue. The glue valve controller 33 is used to control the amount of glue dispensed by the dispensing valves 31. When using a single glue, the distance between the dispensing valves 31 can be adjusted according to the size of the product to dispense glue to two products at the same time.

[0034] A manipulator 4 is mounted on the workbench 2, and a moving end of the manipulator 4 is connected to at least two dispensing valves 31 for performing dispensing operations;

[0035] The feeding mechanism 5 is installed on the workbench 2, and includes a conveying mechanism and a first material tray 51 and a second material tray 52 connected to the conveying mechanism. The first material tray 51 and the second material tray 52 can alternately perform feeding and discharging operations;

[0036] The PLC controller is used to control the operation of the entire dispensing machine, including receiving feedback signals and controlling the actions of the dispensing mechanism 3, the manipulator 4 and the feeding mechanism 5 according to these signals.

[0037] Among them, the dispensing machine provided by the utility model has the following advantages:

[0038] (1) Multi-angle dispensing capability: The design of installing the dispensing valve 31 on the robot 4 enables the dispensing machine to have the ability to dispense glue at multiple angles. The flexibility of the robot 4 enables the dispensing operation to adapt to products of various complex shapes, greatly expanding the application range of the dispensing machine.

[0039] (2) Using multiple glues at the same time: By setting up at least two dispensing valves 31 and glue cylinders 32, the same or different types of glue can be stored and used at the same time; this solves the limitation of traditional dispensing machines that can only use a single glue, and meets the production needs of some products that require multiple glues. At the same time, when using a single glue, the dispensing valve 31 can also be adjusted to perform double dispensing operations, thereby improving the use and efficiency of the equipment.

[0040] (3) Batch production: The design of the feeding mechanism 5, especially the alternating feeding and discharging operation of the first material tray 51 and the second material tray 52, realizes a continuous and uninterrupted production process; this greatly improves production efficiency and reduces downtime.

[0041] (4) Precise control: The use of PLC controller enables the entire dispensing process to be precisely controlled, including dispensing amount, dispensing position, etc., ensuring the consistency and reliability of product quality.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present application, the conveying mechanism includes two stepping motors 53, a synchronous belt connected to the stepping motors 53, a first slider connected to the synchronous belt, and a first guide rail slidably connected to the first slider. The top of the first slider is connected to the first material tray 51.

[0043] The conveying mechanism further includes an electric cylinder, a second slider 54 connected to the electric cylinder, and a second guide rail 55 slidably connected to the second slider 54. The top of the second slider 54 is connected to the second material tray 52.

[0044] The second guide rail 55 is located on both sides of the first guide rail. The second guide rail 55 is provided with a convex hole 56. When the second slider 54 slides along the convex hole 56 of the second guide rail 55, the second material tray 52 and the first material tray 51 can move in a staggered manner in the longitudinal direction.

[0045] Through the combination of stepper motors, synchronous belts and sliders, as well as the design of electric cylinders and convex hole guide rails, the two material trays can achieve precise alternating and staggered movements; this design not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of feeding, but also saves space.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, a touch screen is further included on the chassis 1. The touch screen is used to display device status information and receive operating instructions. The touch screen is provided with a reset button, a start button, and a stop button. The reset button is used to restore the device to its initial state, the start button is used to start the device, and the stop button is used to stop the device. The use of a touch screen makes operation more intuitive and convenient. The provision of the reset, start, and stop buttons increases the safety and operability of the device.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, the feed mechanism 5 is equipped with a tray-in-place sensor for detecting whether the tray has reached the dispensing position. The tray-in-place sensor is electrically connected to the PLC controller. The tray-in-place sensor ensures that the tray accurately reaches the dispensing position. Linked to the PLC controller, it automatically adjusts the start of dispensing, improving the automation and accuracy of the entire system.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present application, two dispensing valves 31 are connected to the mobile end of the manipulator 4 via connectors, and the two dispensing valves 31 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. This design allows two different glues to be quickly switched or used simultaneously, further improving production efficiency.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present application, the robot 4 is a six-axis robot. The six-axis robot provides higher flexibility and precision, can achieve more complex dispensing paths and angles, and adapt to more diverse product requirements.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present application, universal wheels 11 are provided at the bottom of the chassis 1, which makes the equipment more flexible to move and facilitates the layout adjustment of the production line and the maintenance of the equipment.

[0051] Among them, the working process of the utility model is as follows:

[0052] 1. Device startup and initialization
