[0032] Hereinafter, the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0033] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects taken by the present application to achieve the predetermined purposes, the specific embodiments, structures, features and effects according to the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "an embodiment" or "embodiments" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, the specific features, structures or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.

[0034] The following will be described in conjunction with Figs. 1 to 3 A glue coating control device according to some embodiments of the present application is described.

[0035] In one embodiment, as Fig. 1 shown, a glue coating control device includes an industrial computer 11, a conversion module 12, a plurality of motor drivers 13 and a plurality of encoders 14, wherein,

[0036] The first data end of the conversion module 12 is electrically connected to the first data end of the industrial computer 11 in a plug-in manner, the bus data end of the conversion module 12 is electrically connected to the bus data end of each motor driver 13 in an EtherCAT bus protocol manner, and the output end of each motor driver 13 is electrically connected to a servo motor 20; the input end of each motor driver 13 is electrically connected to an encoder 14, and the encoder 14 is arranged on the servo motor 20;

[0037] The conversion module 12 is used for converting the motor control signal output by the industrial computer 11 into a motor control signal in the EtherCAT bus protocol mode and transmitting to the motor driver 13, so that the motor driver 13 drives the servo motor 20 to move to a specified position. The encoder 14 is used for acquiring position information and speed information of the servo motor, and the position information and the speed information are transmitted to the industrial computer 11 through the motor driver 13 and the conversion module 12, so that the industrial computer 11 obtains updated motor control signals according to the position information and the speed information.

[0038] Specifically, the industrial computer is an industrial computer in a control cabinet of the gluing equipment, which is a core component originally in the gluing equipment. The conversion module is connected to the slot of the industrial computer in a plug-in manner and connected with each motor driver through the EtherCAT bus. The industrial computer outputs the control signal of each servo motor to the conversion module. The conversion module converts the received motor control signal into EtherCAT bus protocol information and transmits the EtherCAT bus protocol information to the EtherCAT bus. Each motor driver receives information matching with its IP address or MAC code from the EtherCAT bus and controls the servo motor connected therewith according to the received information, so that the motor moves to a specified position. The encoder collects real-time position information and real-time speed information of the motor and sends the real-time information to the motor driver. The motor driver sends the received real-time position information and real-time speed information of the motor to the EtherCAT bus. The conversion module receives the information transmitted by the motor driver to the bus, obtains the real-time position information and the real-time speed information of the servo motor, and then sends the information to the industrial computer. The industrial computer determines new motor control signals according to the real-time position and the real-time speed of the servo motor and sends the motor control signals to the motor driver module through the conversion module.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the conversion module is a multi-axis motion control card, for example, a four-axis motion control card. The motion control card is a hardware device specially designed for controlling motors, sensors and other actuators. Its main function is to receive instructions from a computer or other controllers and then convert these instructions into signals that motors or other actuators can understand, thereby achieving precise control of these devices.

[0040] The EtherCAT bus protocol is a fieldbus protocol for real-time Ethernet communication, which can realize high-performance real-time communication while maintaining low cost and simple network structure.

[0041] EtherCAT adopts a master-slave structure, in which a master is responsible for controlling and synchronizing the slaves in the network. The master sends control commands and data, and the slaves receive and execute these commands. The conversion module in this application is equivalent to the master, and the motor driver is equivalent to the slave. EtherCAT network can support up to 1000 slaves, each with its own network address and unique identifier. Through EtherCAT, the slave can transmit input and output signals in real time, enabling the system to achieve high distribution and flexibility to adapt to various application requirements.

[0042] It should be noted that the method of converting the information of the industrial computer into EtherCAT bus protocol information by the conversion module can be realized by an application program in the prior art, and the updated motor control signal obtained by the industrial computer according to the position information and speed information of the motor can also be realized by an application program in the prior art, which will not be described here. The technical effect realized by the present application mainly depends on the connection relationship between the modules.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the glue coating control device of the present application is connected with the industrial computer through the conversion module. The conversion module receives the motor control signal of the industrial computer and converts it into EtherCAT bus protocol information, which is sent to each motor driver through the EtherCAT bus. The motor driver receives the information transmitted by the EtherCAT bus and controls the servo motor matched therewith to move to a specified position. Each encoder collects real-time position information and real-time speed information of the servo motor and transmits them to the motor driver, which transmits them to the conversion module through the EtherCAT bus. The conversion module then transmits the real-time position information and real-time speed information of the motor to the industrial computer, which determines a new motor control signal according to the real-time position information and real-time speed information of the motor. In the glue coating field, there is no other module except the EtherCAT bus, which greatly reduces the wiring difficulty of the control system. The conversion module is connected with the industrial computer, which greatly improves the integration of the control system. The industrial computer is used to determine the control signal of the servo motor, without the need for a high-performance central controller, which reduces the production cost of the control system and realizes high integration and low production cost of the glue coating control device.

[0054] In one embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2 The glue coating control device further comprises an X-axis origin limit switch B3, a Y-axis origin limit switch B4, a Z-axis origin limit switch B5 and a Z-axis lower limit limit switch B6, wherein,

[0055] The positive input end of the X-axis origin limit switch B3, the positive input end of the Y-axis origin limit switch B4, the positive input end of the Z-axis origin limit switch B5 and the positive input end of the Z-axis lower limit limit switch B6 are electrically connected with the positive pole of the power supply, the negative input end of the X-axis origin limit switch B3, the negative input end of the Y-axis origin limit switch B4, the negative input end of the Z-axis origin limit switch B5 and the negative input end of the Z-axis lower limit limit switch B6 are electrically connected with the negative pole of the power supply, and the output end of the X-axis origin limit switch B3, the output end of the Y-axis origin limit switch B4, the output end of the Z-axis origin limit switch B5 and the output end of the Z-axis lower limit limit switch B6 are respectively electrically connected with the fourth data input end of the industrial computer.

[0060] a glue cup detection module 17, a data output end of the glue cup detection module 17 being electrically connected with a third data input end of the conversion module 12;

[0061] a safety grating 18, an output end of the safety grating 18 being electrically connected with a fourth data input end of the conversion module 12.

[0062] In the embodiment, the glue coating nozzle position detection module is a laser measurement sensor, a transmitter and a receiver of the laser measurement sensor are respectively arranged on two sides of a glue coating machine, the transmitter emits laser, and the receiver determines the position information of the glue coating nozzle according to the received laser information.

The industrial computer compares the actual position of the glue coating nozzle with the preset position information and determines a new motor control signal according to the comparison result to adjust the actual position of the glue coating nozzle.

[0063] Generally, the glue output of different glue spraying nozzles is different, and the glue output of the glue spraying nozzle is also different after being used for a long time. Therefore, after the glue spraying nozzle is replaced or used for a preset time, the glue output needs to be weighed. Because the glue output of different products is different, it is necessary to avoid less or more glue. The glue cup is placed on the weighing module, the glue droplet is dropped into the glue cup by the glue spraying nozzle, the actual weight of the coating liquid in the glue cup is collected by the weighing module and sent to the industrial computer, the industrial computer calculates the volume of the outflowing coating liquid according to the movement amount of the R-axis motor, and then calculates the expected weight of the weighed coating liquid according to the volume and density of the coating liquid. According to the error between the actual weight and the expected weight, the movement of the R-axis motor is adjusted.

[0064] The glue cup sensor is a laser measurement sensor, which is arranged at a preset position outside the glue cup sensor, detects whether the glue cup exists on the weighing module, and whether the coating liquid in the glue cup is full, and sends the detection information to the conversion module and the industrial computer through the conversion module, so that the industrial computer can be controlled correspondingly.

[0065] The safety grating is arranged outside the glue spraying machine, and when the safety grating detects that an object enters the glue spraying machine, a detection signal is sent to the conversion module and the industrial computer through the conversion module, so that the industrial computer can be controlled correspondingly.

[0066] The application also provides a glue spraying equipment, which comprises a plurality of servo motors, a gantry four-axis mechanism and the glue spraying control device.

[0067] Compared with the prior art, the glue spraying equipment provided by the application is connected with the industrial computer through plug-in connection, the conversion module receives the servo motor control signal of the industrial computer and converts the motor control signal into information of the EtherCAT bus protocol, and then transmits the information to each motor driver through the EtherCAT bus. The motor driver receives the information transmitted by the EtherCAT bus, controls the servo motor matched therewith, and makes the servo motor move to a specified position. Each encoder collects the position information and speed information of the servo motor and transmits them to the motor driver. The motor driver transmits the position information and speed information of the motor to the conversion module through the EtherCAT bus. The conversion module transmits the position information and speed information of the motor to the industrial computer. The industrial computer determines a new motor control signal according to the real-time position information and speed information of the motor. In the glue spraying field, there is no other module except the EtherCAT bus, which greatly reduces the wiring difficulty of the control system. Through the plug-in connection between the conversion module and the industrial computer, the integration of the control system is greatly improved. At the same time, the industrial computer is used to determine the running information of the servo motor, without using a high-performance central controller, which reduces the production cost of the control system and realizes high integration and low production cost of the glue spraying equipment.
