[0020] The above-mentioned sensing component 15 for indirectly sensing the distance between the dispensing needle 4 and the carrier block 9 is a proximity sensor.

[0021] The induction component 15 is disposed at the other end of the movable plate 13 , and the motor 7 is mounted on one side of the supporting upright plate 2 via a base 72 .

[0022] Example 2: A fiber optic dispensing processing mechanism, comprising: a base plate 1, a support plate 2 vertically mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 1, a glue hose 3, and a glue dispensing needle 4 mounted on the glue hose 3.

[0028] When in use, first move the movable plate vertically to the highest position, so that the rubber hose and dispensing needle installed on it are moved to the highest position to facilitate the installation of the product;

[0029] Then load the annular product onto the carrier block and fit it onto the outside of the limit pin to achieve precise positioning of the product.

[0030] Then, the movable plate is moved downward in the vertical direction. When the distance between the dispensing needle and the product loaded on the carrier reaches a preset threshold, the sensing component transmits the generated sensing signal to the PLC, and the synchronous drive motor rotates one circle through the PLC, and the dispensing needle performs a dispensing operation. The hose, dispensing head, and the glue supply component, glue output control component, PLC, etc. that cooperate with the hose are all within the scope of the existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] The continuous glue discharge from the dispensing needle is coordinated with the rotation of the rotating column that drives the product on the carrier block to rotate one circle along the output shaft of the motor, and linear ring-shaped glue is dispensed on the product. The motor rotation and dispensing operation can also be automatically and synchronously triggered, thereby improving the matching between the glue discharge of the dispensing needle and the rotation position of the product, and ensuring the uniformity and stability of the glue discharge, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of dispensing.

[0032] When the above-mentioned optical fiber dispensing processing mechanism is used, it can realize automated dispensing while realizing annular linear dispensing of the product through the cooperation of a fixed dispensing needle and a rotating product carrier. It can also automatically and synchronously trigger the motor rotation and dispensing operation, thereby improving the matching between the dispensing needle's glue output and the product's rotation position, and ensuring the uniformity and stability of the glue output, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of dispensing.
