Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic glue application equipment, and more specifically to an automatic glue application device. Background Technology

[0002] During the installation of products such as fans, bolts are typically tightened manually into their corresponding holes using a torque gun or similar tool. However, in practice, it has been found that manual bolt tightening can result in insufficient torque, leading to inadequate tightening and potentially causing the fan to detach during assembly. This can then cause the vehicle's cooling system to malfunction, triggering a high-temperature alarm in the driving system.

[0003] To solve the above problems, a common measure is to apply thread sealant to the screw hole. However, since there are many screw holes and they are in different locations, manual application is inefficient. Moreover, manual application can easily result in the sealant being applied to the bottom of the screw hole, which leads to insufficient sealant between the bolt and the side wall of the screw hole after the bolt is screwed in, resulting in a poor sealing effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of low efficiency in the prior art of manually applying thread sealant, and the fact that manual application of thread sealant can easily result in insufficient sealant between the bolt and the side wall of the threaded hole after the bolt is screwed into the threaded hole, leading to poor sealing effect.

[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides an automatic glue application device, including a platform, a support, a transfer frame, a receiving frame, and a glue application gun. The support is disposed above the platform and has a first linear drive member along the horizontal direction. The transfer frame is connected to the output end of the first linear drive member and is driven by the first linear drive member to achieve horizontal movement. The transfer frame has a second linear drive member along the vertical direction. The receiving frame is connected to the output end of the second linear drive member and is driven by the second linear drive member to achieve vertical movement. The receiving frame has a glue application gun with the nozzle facing downward and bent to the side.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the above solution realizes the lateral displacement function of the glue gun through the first linear drive component, so that the glue gun can move to the screw hole at different positions; realizes the vertical displacement function of the glue gun through the second linear drive component, so that the nozzle of the glue gun can enter the screw hole to apply sealant; at the same time, by designing the nozzle of the glue gun to bend downward and to the side, it is ensured that the sealant sprayed from the nozzle of the glue gun is applied to the side wall of the screw hole, ensuring good sealing between the bolt and the side wall of the screw hole after the bolt is screwed in.

[0007] In an improved embodiment, the receiving frame is further equipped with a vision camera, which is positioned downwards to perform visual inspection of the stage. This ensures that after the first linear drive moves the glue gun to the position aligned with the screw hole, the second linear drive moves the nozzle of the glue gun into the screw hole, thereby improving accuracy.

[0008] In an improved embodiment, the receiving frame is further provided with a glue storage tank, which is connected to the glue gun, thereby continuously supplying glue to the glue gun through the glue storage tank.

[0009] In an improved embodiment, the first linear drive includes a first guide rail connected to the bracket in a left-right direction and a first lead screw motor assembly arranged parallel to the first guide rail. The carriage is slidably connected to the first guide rail and driven by the first lead screw motor assembly to move on the first guide rail, thereby guiding the movement of the carriage by the first guide rail and achieving precise control of the carriage position by the first lead screw motor assembly.

[0010] In an improved embodiment, the second linear drive includes a second guide rail connected to the moving frame in the vertical direction and a second lead screw motor assembly arranged parallel to the second guide rail. The receiving frame is slidably connected to the second guide rail and driven by the second lead screw motor assembly to move on the second guide rail, thereby guiding the movement of the receiving frame by the second guide rail and achieving precise control of the position of the receiving frame through the second lead screw motor assembly.

[0011] In an improved embodiment, a third linear drive is further included. The third linear drive is fixed laterally and located below the support. The direction of the third linear drive is perpendicular to that of the first linear drive. The stage is connected to the output end of the third linear drive and is driven by the third linear drive to achieve lateral movement. Thus, the position of the stage can be adjusted through the third linear drive frame, achieving greater positional freedom.

[0012] In an improved embodiment, the third linear drive includes a third guide rail fixedly arranged in the front-rear direction and a third lead screw motor assembly arranged parallel to the third guide rail. The third guide rail is located below the support, and the stage is slidably connected to the third guide rail and driven by the third lead screw motor assembly to move on the third guide rail. Thus, the movement of the stage is guided by the third guide rail, and the position of the stage is precisely controlled by the third lead screw motor assembly. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of this utility model provides an automatic glue application device, including a platform 5, a support 2, a transfer frame 3, a receiving frame 4, and a glue application gun 41.

The receiving frame 4 is provided with a glue application gun 41, the nozzle 41a of which is set downward and bent to the side.

[0022] The above solution achieves the lateral displacement function of the glue gun 41 through the first linear drive 1, enabling the glue gun 41 to move to different screw holes; and achieves the vertical displacement function of the glue gun 41 through the second linear drive 6, enabling the nozzle 41a of the glue gun 41 to enter the screw hole and apply sealant; at the same time, by designing the nozzle 41a of the glue gun 41 to be downward and bent to the side, it is ensured that the sealant sprayed from the nozzle 41a of the glue gun 41 is applied to the side wall of the screw hole, ensuring good sealing between the bolt and the side wall of the screw hole after the bolt is screwed into the screw hole.

[0023] As an improvement to this embodiment, the receiving frame 4 is also provided with a vision camera 42. The vision camera 42 is set downward to realize visual inspection of the stage 5.

[0024] Furthermore, the receiving frame 4 is also equipped with a glue storage tank 43, which is connected to the glue gun 41, thereby continuously supplying glue to the glue gun 41 through the glue storage tank 43.

The carriage 3 is slidably connected to the first guide rail and driven by the first lead screw motor assembly to move on the first guide rail. Thus, the first guide rail guides the movement of the carriage, and the first lead screw motor assembly achieves precise control of the position of the carriage 3. It should be understood that the first linear drive 1 can also be other forms in the prior art, such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric cylinder arranged in the left-right direction.

It should be understood that the second linear drive 6 can also be other forms in the prior art, such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric cylinder arranged in the vertical direction. The receiving frame 4 is connected to the output cylinder rod of the second linear drive 6, so that the left and right displacement of the receiving frame 4 can be achieved by the reciprocating movement of the output cylinder rod of the second linear drive 6.

[0027] As a further improvement to this embodiment, a third linear drive 7 is also included. The third linear drive 7 is fixedly arranged in the lateral direction and located below the bracket 2. The direction of the third linear drive 7 is perpendicular to that of the first linear drive 1. The platform 5 is connected to the output end of the third linear drive 7 and is driven by the third linear drive 7 to achieve lateral movement.
