DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0033] Referring to Figures 1-4 An embodiment provided by the utility model: a glue gun glue supply system for a mechanical arm, comprising: a glue supply system, a beam sliding rail device, a robot execution system, a visual guidance system, an information-based intelligent system, a conveying line workpiece positioning system, the beam sliding rail device is arranged on the left side of the glue supply system, which ensures the stability and smooth movement of the overall structure, the robot execution system is arranged at the bottom of one side of the beam sliding rail device, which can be operated flexibly, the visual guidance system is arranged at the end of the robot execution system, which can monitor the application of glue in real time to improve accuracy, the information-based intelligent system is arranged on the front side of the glue supply system, which is responsible for data processing and the issuance of operation instructions, the conveying line workpiece positioning system is arranged below the beam sliding rail device to ensure accurate positioning of the workpiece.

[0034] The glue supply system comprises a support frame 1, a glue pump 2, a valve 3, a glue injection pipe 4, a glue conveying pipe 5 and a glue gun 6, the support frame 1 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy material, which can provide stable support for the glue pump 2 and the valve 3 and enhance the overall durability, the glue pump 2 is fixedly connected inside the support frame 1 and is made of corrosion-resistant material, which can withstand the pressure of different types of glue and ensure normal work, the valve 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame 1 and is made of stainless steel material to prevent glue leakage, one end of the glue injection pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the valve 3, the other end of the glue injection pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the input end of the glue pump 2, one end of the glue conveying pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the glue pump 2, and the glue gun 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the glue conveying pipe 5, which is made of high-flexibility silicone material to cope with high-temperature and high-pressure environments and can stably convey glue liquid to the glue gun 6.

[0035] Specifically, during the process of gluing, when the glue gun 6 needs to be injected with glue, first, the glue storage device is externally connected to the input end of the valve 3. The valve 3 has flexible opening and closing functions to ensure the transfer of glue between different processes. Then the valve 3 is opened, and the glue is input into the glue injection tube 4 through its output end. Next, the glue is injected into the glue pump 2 through the glue injection tube 4. At this time, the glue pump 2 is started, and the glue pump 2 sends the glue into the glue delivery tube 5 through its output end. The glue pump 2 is equipped with an efficient driving mechanism, which can adjust the flow rate and pressure of the glue to meet the needs of different gluing processes. The glue is transported to the glue gun 6 through the glue delivery tube 5 for gluing, which greatly improves the efficiency of gluing and enables the glue gun 6 to continuously maintain the glue discharge effect during operation, avoiding the glue breakage phenomenon caused by insufficient glue in the glue gun 6 during the gluing process. This stable glue discharge state ensures the uniformity and consistency of the glue coating, thereby improving the quality and reliability of the final product.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 The robot execution system includes a robot arm 14, which is arranged at the bottom of one side of the connecting frame 11 and is used to operate the glue gun 6 to achieve a specific gluing task. One end of the robot arm 14 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 15 to support the glue gun 6 and ensure its stability. The glue gun 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing frame 15 and is used to evenly apply glue on the workpiece. The visual guidance system includes a camera 16, which is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing frame 15. The camera 16 is used to scan the area of ​​the workpiece to be glued to guide the robot arm 14, and provide real-time feedback by scanning the area of ​​the workpiece to be glued to help adjust the movement trajectory of the robot arm 14. The information intelligent system includes a control box 18, a display screen 19 and control buttons 20. The control box 18 is arranged at the bottom right of the truss 7 and is used to integrate the whole The control unit of the system, the display screen 19 is electrically connected to the inside of the control box 18, and is used to display system status, operation instructions and other information. The control button 20 is electrically connected to the inside of the control box 18 to provide a human-computer interaction interface, allowing the operator to control the system. The conveyor line workpiece positioning system includes a conveyor line 21, a cylinder 22, a push plate 23 and a liner 17. The conveyor line 21 is set at the bottom of the truss 7 and is responsible for transporting the workpiece to the designated position to ensure the continuity of the gluing work. The cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor line 21, and the push plate 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 22. The push plate 23 is pushed by the cylinder 22 to position the workpiece in the correct gluing position. The liner 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor line 21 to provide support for the workpiece and ensure the stability of the workpiece on the conveyor line.

[0037] Specifically, when applying glue, first start the gluing system through the control button 20. At this time, the gluing system enters the standby state. In the standby state, the various components of the system will perform self-inspection to ensure that all equipment is in normal working condition. At the same time, after the workpiece is transported to the set position through the conveyor line 21, it will be blocked. At this time, the output end of the cylinder 22 starts to work, pushing the push plate 23 to fix the workpiece. The push plate 23 can adapt to the structure of different workpiece sizes to ensure that the workpiece surface will not be damaged during the fixing process. Once the system receives the line blocking signal, the stop signal and the feedback signal of the completion of fixing the workpiece, the system will send a working signal. At this time, the robot arm 14 will drive the glue gun 6 to start working to ensure its flexibility during operation. At the same time, the camera 16 starts to scan the area of ​​the workpiece to be glued. The camera 16 can capture detailed information on the surface of the workpiece. After the scanning is completed, the system will perform model identification and glue trajectory planning. At this time, the software will automatically generate the best glue path according to the shape and characteristics of the workpiece. After the trajectory planning is completed, the system will send the planning result to the robot arm 14 through a control signal, instructing it to perform the first coat of glue according to the predetermined trajectory. The robot arm 14 will control the movement of the glue gun 6 to ensure that the glue is evenly coated on the surface of the workpiece, minimize the waste of glue and improve the quality of glue. The entire gluing process is not only efficient but also highly automated, ensuring the continuity and stability of the production line.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 The crossbeam slide device includes a truss 7, a rack 8, a motor 9, a gear 10, a connecting frame 11, a slider 12 and a guide rail 13. The truss 7 is arranged on one side of the support frame 1 as a support for the overall structure to ensure the stability of other components. The rack 8 is fixedly connected to the inside of the truss 7 to provide a basis for linear motion. The motor 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the truss 7. The gear 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 9. The motor 9 is the power source of the drive system. The gear 10 at its output end engages with the rack 8 to generate linear motion. The gear 10 engages with the rack 8 and is responsible for converting rotational motion into linear motion. The connecting frame 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the motor 9, the slider 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 11, and the guide rail 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the truss 7, so that the robot arm 14 can move within the set trajectory. The slider 12 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rail 13, providing a sliding path for the slider 12 to ensure the smoothness of the movement.

[0039] Specifically, during the gluing process, the output end of the motor 9 can efficiently drive the gear 10 to rotate, and the gear 10 is engaged with the rack 8, so that it moves smoothly in the horizontal direction above the tooth pattern, ensuring the accuracy of power transmission. Through the rotation of the gear 10, the motor 9 and the connecting frame 11 on its outer wall will move synchronously. The robot arm 14 is connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 11, so that it can be flexibly translated left and right, so that the glue gun 6 can adjust different working angles according to the specific shape of the workpiece. After completing the first gluing operation on the workpiece, the worker will install the workpiece on the side of the lining plate 17, and the lining plate 17 will be lifted. It provides stable support to ensure that the workpiece will not shift during the gluing process. When the worker completes the installation of parts on both sides, the system will drive the robot arm 14 to start again through the control button 20 for a second scan and gluing. When the workpiece completes the second gluing, the robot arm 14 will return to the waiting position and release a signal to the liner 17 through the built-in sensor, instructing it to release the workpiece that has been glued. At the same time, it starts the conveyor line 21 and starts moving the glued workpiece to the next process, effectively ensuring the high-quality completion of the gluing operation, allowing the production line to run smoothly, and improving the overall automation level.

[0040] Working principle: During the process of gluing, when the glue gun 6 needs to be injected with glue, first connect the glue storage device to the input end of the valve 3, then open the valve 3, input the glue liquid into the glue injection tube 4 through its output end, and inject the glue liquid into the glue pump 2 through the glue injection tube 4. At this time, start the glue pump 2, and the glue pump 2 sends the glue liquid into the glue delivery tube 5 through its output end. At the same time, the glue liquid is delivered to the glue gun 6 through the glue delivery tube 5 for gluing, so that the glue gun 6 can maintain the glue discharge effect during operation, avoiding the problem of insufficient glue liquid in the glue gun 6 and glue breaking during the gluing process, resulting in uneven glue coating. When gluing, first start the gluing system through the control button 20, then the gluing system enters the standby state, and at the same time, the workpiece will be blocked after being transported to a certain position through the conveying line 21, and the push plate 23 will be pushed by the output end of the cylinder 22 to fix the workpiece. When the system receives the line body blocking, stopping, and fixing the workpiece, it will send a working signal. At this time, the robot arm 14 will drive the glue gun 6 to start working. At the same time, the camera 16 starts to scan the area of ​​the workpiece to be glued. After the scanning is completed, the model recognition and gluing trajectory planning are carried out. After the planning is completed, the trajectory result is sent to the robot arm 14, so that the robot arm 14 performs the first gluing according to the trajectory result. During the gluing process, the output end of the motor 9 can also drive the gear 10 to rotate, so that the gear 10 moves horizontally along its tooth pattern above the rack 8 meshing with it, thereby driving the motor 9 and the connecting frame 11 of its outer wall to move. The connecting frame 11 drives the robot arm 14 connected to the bottom to move left and right, so that the glue gun 6 can adjust different position angles. After completing the first gluing operation of the workpiece, the worker will install the workpiece on the side of the lining plate 17. After the worker has installed the parts on both sides, the control button 20 is used to drive the robot arm 14 to start the second scanning and gluing. After the workpiece is glued, the robot arm 14 will return to the waiting position, and release a signal to the lining plate 17 to release the workpiece currently glued, and start the conveyor line 21 for transportation to complete the gluing operation.
