[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in this embodiment, an automatic glue applicator includes a base 1, a fixture 2, and a glue tube fixing seat 3. A gantry frame 4 is fixed on the base 1. A Y-axis module 5 is installed inside the upper end of the gantry frame 4. A Z-axis module 6 is installed on the drive end of the Y-axis module 5. A movable plate 7 is installed on the drive end of the Z-axis module 6. A limit bolt 8 is installed on the upper end of the glue tube fixing seat 3. The lower end of the limit bolt 8 contacts the upper end of the movable plate 7. The glue tube fixing seat 3 and the movable plate 7 slide up and down relative to each other. A glue applicator 9 is fixed on the glue tube fixing seat 3. An X-axis module 10 is arranged inside the base 1 along the front-back direction. The fixture 2 is installed on the drive end of the X-axis module 10.

[0025] Under the control of the X-axis module 10, Y-axis module 5 and Z-axis module 6, the glue cartridge holder 3 drives the glue cartridge 9 to move to the product position on the fixture 2 for precise positioning. At the same time, after the glue cartridge 9 touches the product, the glue cartridge holder 3 will move upward relative to the movable plate 7 to ensure that the glue cartridge 9 will not collide with the product, thus protecting the product from damage. In the case of non-contact, the limit bolt 8 contacts the movable plate 7 to ensure that the glue cartridge holder 3 is at the lowest height, making it easier for the glue cartridge 9 to reach the position where glue needs to be applied.

[0026] The glue cartridge holder 3 is provided with a glue installation hole and a glue fixing screw 11. A glue ring 12 is fixed in the glue installation hole and is sleeved on the outside of the glue cartridge 9. The glue fixing screw 11 is threaded to the glue cartridge holder 3. After passing through the glue ring 12, the glue fixing screw 11 is pressed against the glue cartridge 9. When installing the glue cartridge 9, the glue ring 12 in the glue installation hole is used to clamp the glue cartridge 9 to prevent the glue cartridge 9 from shifting. At the same time, the glue fixing screw 11 is tightened on the glue cartridge holder 3 to lock the glue cartridge 9 and fix it on the glue cartridge holder 3.

[0027] A spring 13 is connected between the glue tube fixing seat 3 and the movable plate 7. After the glue tube 9 is lifted by the product, the limit bolt 8 is disengaged from the movable plate 7, and the spring 13 is pulled open. When the glue tube 9 leaves the product, the spring 13 pulls the glue tube fixing seat 3 back to its original position.

[0028] The fixture 2 is provided with several negative pressure holes 14. The product is adsorbed and fixed on the fixture 2 in the negative pressure holes 14, which ensures the accuracy of the glue application position.

[0029] Regarding the control of the glue application position, the X-axis module 10 includes an X-axis slide rail 15, an X-axis slide block 16, and an X-axis motor 17.

On the 9th, the Y-axis slide rail 19 and the Y-axis motor 21 are both fixed on the gantry frame 4; the Z-axis module 6 includes the Z-axis slide rail 23, the Z-axis slide 24 and the Z-axis motor 25. The upper end of the Y-axis slide 20 is rotatably connected to the Z-axis shaft. Both ends of one end of the Z-axis shaft are connected to the Z-axis drive wheel 26. The drive end of the Z-axis motor 25 is connected to the Z-axis drive wheel 26 at one end by belt drive. The Z-axis drive wheel 26 at the other end is connected to the Z-axis drive belt 27. One side of the Z-axis slide 24 is fixed on the Z-axis drive belt 27. The Z-axis slide 24 slides on the Z-axis slide rail 23. The Z-axis slide rail 23 and the Z-axis motor 25 are both fixed on the Y-axis slide 20.

[0030] A pneumatic control box 28 is provided on one side of the base 1. A start control knob 29 is provided at the front end of the pneumatic control box 28. A control panel 30 is provided on one side of the base 1. Control buttons 31 are provided on the control panel 30. Pad feet 32 ​​are installed at the four corners of the lower end of the base 1.

[0031] The pneumatic components are controlled by the start control knob 29 on the pneumatic control box 28. The automatic glue applicator is manually controlled by the control button 31 on the control panel 30. The base 1 is supported by the pads 32 to reduce vibration.
