Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fixture and tooling technology, and in particular to a fixture and tooling for an adhesive applicator. Background Technology

[0002] As an important piece of machinery, glue applicators play a vital role in various manufacturing fields. They are widely used in industries such as electronics, automobiles, aerospace, furniture, and construction to perform precise and efficient glue application on various materials and components. Glue applicators not only improve production efficiency but also ensure the uniformity and quality of glue application, thereby enhancing the performance and reliability of the final product.

[0003] In practical applications of glue applicators, the design of fixtures and tooling faces numerous challenges, especially when dealing with multi-variety, small-batch production tasks. Traditional fixtures and tooling are often designed only for individual workpieces, lacking flexibility, resulting in low production efficiency, and the time-consuming and labor-intensive process of changing fixtures and tooling.

[0004] In practical applications of glue coating machines, the design of fixtures and tooling faces many challenges, especially when dealing with large-volume production tasks. Traditional fixtures and tooling are mostly only designed for single workpieces. This limitation not only restricts the flexibility of the production line, but also requires the removal of individual workpieces from the fixture for replacement after each glue coating, making it difficult to improve production efficiency. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problem of low production efficiency of traditional fixtures and tooling, this application provides a fixture and tooling for an adhesive applicator.

[0006] The technical solution provided in this application for a fixture for an adhesive applicator is as follows:

[0007] A fixture for a glue applicator includes a fixture plate. A fixture mechanism for fixing workpieces is provided on the fixture plate. The fixture mechanism includes a multi-station disc, several positioning fixtures, and a drive assembly. The multi-station disc is rotatably mounted on the fixture plate. The drive assembly drives the multi-station disc to rotate. Several positioning fixtures are arranged on the multi-station disc at intervals along the circumference of the multi-station disc. Several glue applicators for applying glue to the workpieces are provided on the fixture plate. These glue applicators are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the multi-station disc. Each glue applicator is directly opposite a corresponding positioning fixture on the multi-station disc. The number of positioning fixtures is twice the number of glue applicators.

[0008] Traditional fixtures are mostly designed for single workpieces when handling large-volume production tasks. This limitation restricts the flexibility of the production line and requires removing individual workpieces from the fixture for replacement after each gluing, hindering production efficiency. The proposed solution, using a fixture plate, includes a fixture mechanism and a gluing mechanism mounted on the fixture plate. The fixture mechanism comprises a multi-station disc, several positioning fixtures, and a drive assembly. When gluing a workpiece, the workpiece is placed sequentially in the positioning fixtures on the multi-station disc. The drive assembly is activated, and the multi-station disc begins to rotate, bringing the workpieces to the corresponding gluing mechanisms. Each gluing mechanism starts upon workpiece arrival, performing precise gluing. The continuous rotation of the multi-station disc removes glued workpieces from the glued area, while new, un-glueed workpieces are fed into the glued position, forming a continuous and efficient glued production line. Once all workpieces have been glued, the multi-station disc stops rotating, allowing operators to remove glued workpieces from each positioning fixture at once without individual processing. The fixture and glued mechanism enhances the automation level of the production line. The multi-station disc design allows for the loading of multiple workpieces at once, and the drive assembly enables continuous rotation and glued operation, avoiding the tedious process of replacing workpieces individually after each glued application, as required by traditional fixtures. This significantly improves production efficiency, easily adapts to various production tasks, and enhances the versatility and flexibility of the production line.

[0009] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a rotary shaft and a servo motor. The servo motor is arranged on a tooling plate, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to the rotary shaft. The end of the rotary shaft away from the servo motor is connected to the center of the multi-station disk.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive component includes a rotary shaft and a servo motor; when the servo motor is started, it drives the rotary shaft to rotate, thereby causing the entire multi-station disc to start rotating, and the workpieces in each positioning fixture are brought to the corresponding glue application mechanism in sequence; through the setting of the rotary shaft and servo motor, the rotation angle, speed and acceleration of the rotary shaft can be precisely controlled, ensuring that each workpiece can receive uniform glue application treatment in the correct position and time.

[0011] Optionally, the end of the rotating shaft is provided with a mounting boss, and the center of the multi-station disc is provided with a boss groove that matches the mounting boss.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting boss is fixedly installed on the end of the rotating shaft, and a boss groove is opened on the multi-station disc. Through the setting of the mounting boss and the boss groove, and the cooperation between the mounting boss and the boss groove, the connection between the rotating shaft and the multi-station disc is stable and reliable, which can effectively reduce the loosening or displacement during rotation, ensure the stability and accuracy of the glue application operation, and simplify the installation and disassembly process between the rotating shaft and the multi-station disc, making it easy to install and disassemble.

[0013] Optionally, the tooling plate is provided with an L-shaped plate, and a pulley is rotatably mounted on the L-shaped plate. The bottom of the multi-station disc is provided with a track groove for the pulley to slide.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the pulley is rotatably mounted on the L-shaped plate, and a track groove is opened at the bottom of the multi-station disc. When the servo motor drives the multi-station disc to rotate through the rotating shaft, the pulley slides in the track groove. The L-shaped plate, pulley, and track groove provide stable support and guidance for the multi-station disc, ensuring that the multi-station disc remains stable during rotation, reducing shaking or deviation, further ensuring the accuracy and stability of the glue application operation, and improving rotational precision.

[0015] Optionally, the glue application mechanism includes a glue application pipe, a glue application frame, and a support column. The support column is vertically arranged on the tooling plate, the glue application frame is connected to the support column, and the glue application pipe is arranged on the glue application frame, with the glue application pipe facing the positioning fixture of the multi-station disc.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the glue application mechanism includes a glue application tube, a glue application frame, and a support column. With the glue application mechanism including the glue application tube, the glue application frame, and the support column, the support column provides stable support for the glue application frame, making it less prone to shaking or tilting. The glue application frame is connected to the support column, resulting in a compact structure that can make full use of the space on the tooling plate and avoid occupying too much production area. The glue application tube is arranged on the glue application frame, which can accurately apply the glue to the workpiece, improving the accuracy of glue application.

[0017] Optionally, the bottom of the support column is provided with a connector for fixing to the tooling plate, and the connector has several connecting holes through it.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the support column is installed on the tooling plate through the connector, and the connector has a connection hole. Through the setting of the connector and the connection hole, the design of the connector enables the support column to be firmly installed on the tooling plate, which helps to ensure that the glue application mechanism will not shake or tilt during operation, and ensures the accuracy and stability of glue application. At the same time, the design of the connection hole simplifies the installation and disassembly process between the support column and the tooling plate.

[0019] Optionally, the glue application frame is provided with a clamping plate for fixing to the support column, and the clamping plate is sleeved and fixed on the support column.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping plate is welded and fixed to the glue coating frame, and the clamping plate is sleeved on the support column. The clamping plate ensures a stable connection between the glue coating frame and the support column. The presence of the clamping plate provides additional support points for the glue coating frame, enhancing its structural stability.

[0021] Optionally, the glue applicator has an assembly hole and a threaded hole through it for assembling and pressing the glue applicator tube. The inner wall of the threaded hole is connected to the inner wall of the assembly hole. The glue applicator is also provided with a knob for pressing on the outside. The knob is threaded into the threaded hole, and the end of the knob is pressed against the wall of the glue applicator tube.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the assembly hole and threaded hole are opened on the glue application frame, and the knob is threaded into the threaded hole. Through the setting of the assembly hole, threaded hole and knob, the design of the assembly hole allows the glue application tube to easily pass through the glue application frame, realize the initial positioning and installation, simplify the installation process of the glue application tube, and the knob can be firmly pressed against the tube wall of the glue application tube to ensure that the glue application tube will not shake or fall off during the glue application operation.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] The installation of clamping and gluing mechanisms improves the automation level of the production line. The multi-station disc design allows for the loading of multiple workpieces at once, and the drive components enable continuous rotation and gluing of the workpieces. This avoids the tedious process of replacing each workpiece after each gluing operation, which is a traditional fixture. It significantly improves production efficiency, can easily adapt to various production tasks, and enhances the versatility and flexibility of the production line.

[0025] By setting up the mounting boss and the boss slot, and by matching the mounting boss with the boss slot, the connection between the rotating shaft and the multi-station disc is made stable and reliable. This can effectively reduce the loosening or offset that occurs during rotation, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the gluing operation. At the same time, it simplifies the installation and disassembly process between the rotating shaft and the multi-station disc, making it easy to install and disassemble.

[0026] With the addition of mounting holes, threaded holes, and knobs, the mounting hole design allows the applicator tube to easily pass through the applicator frame for initial positioning and installation, simplifying the installation process. The knobs are securely pressed against the wall of the applicator tube, ensuring that the applicator tube will not shake or fall off during the applicator application process.

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] This application discloses a fixture for a glue applicator. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The fixture for the glue applicator includes a fixture plate 1, on which a fixture mechanism 2 and a glue applicator 3 are mounted. In this embodiment, the fixture mechanism 2 is used to fix the workpiece, and the glue applicator 3 is used to apply glue to the workpiece. The fixture mechanism 2 and the glue applicator 3 cooperate with each other, and there are multiple sets of glue applicators 3.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixture mechanism 2 includes a multi-station disc 21, several positioning fixtures 22, and a drive assembly 23. The drive assembly 23 is used to drive the multi-station disc 21 to rotate. The drive assembly 23 includes a rotating shaft 231 and a servo motor 232. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 231 is rotatably mounted on the tooling plate 1, and the servo motor 232 is mounted on the bottom of the tooling plate 1. The servo motor 232 can achieve forward and reverse rotation, and the output end of the servo motor 232 is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 231.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A mounting boss 4 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft 231 away from the servo motor 232. A boss slot 5 is opened at the center of the multi-station disk 21. The mounting boss 4 is installed at the boss slot 5. The cooperation between the mounting boss 4 and the boss slot 5 makes the connection between the rotating shaft 231 and the multi-station disk 21 stable and reliable. It can effectively reduce the loosening or displacement during the rotation process, ensure the stability and accuracy of the glue application operation, and simplify the installation and disassembly process between the rotating shaft 231 and the multi-station disk 21, making it easy to install and disassemble.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 An L-shaped plate 6 is fixedly mounted on the tooling plate 1, and a pulley 61 is rotatably mounted on the L-shaped plate 6. In this embodiment, a track groove 7 is opened at the bottom of the multi-station disc 21. The center of the track groove 7 coincides with the center of the multi-station disc 21. The pulley 61 is slidably connected in the track groove 7. At the same time, the combination of L-shaped plate 6 and pulley 61 is multiple sets, which can provide stable support and guidance for the multi-station disc 21, ensuring that the multi-station disc 21 remains stable during rotation, reducing the occurrence of shaking or deviation, further ensuring the accuracy and stability of the glue application operation, and improving the rotation accuracy.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 Several positioning fixtures 22 are installed on the multi-station disk 21. In this embodiment, several positioning fixtures 22 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the circumference of the multi-station disk 21. Each positioning fixture 22 is used to fix a single workpiece. At the same time, multiple sets of glue application mechanisms 3 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the circumference of the multi-station disk 21. Each glue application mechanism 3 is directly opposite the positioning fixture 22 on the multi-station disk 21. The number of positioning fixtures 22 is twice the number of glue application mechanisms 3.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 The glue application mechanism 3 includes a glue application tube 31, a glue application frame 32, and a support column 33. A connector 8 is installed at the bottom of the support column 33. The connector 8 is arranged on the tooling plate 1. Several connection holes 81 are opened through the connector 8. In this embodiment, the connector 8 is fixed to the tooling plate 1 by bolts or other means through the connection holes 81. The design of the connector 8 enables the support column 33 to be firmly installed on the tooling plate 1, which helps to ensure that the glue application mechanism 3 will not shake or tilt during operation, and ensures the accuracy and stability of glue application. At the same time, the design of the connection holes 81 simplifies the installation and disassembly process between the support column 33 and the tooling plate 1.

[0039] Reference Figure 4A clamping plate 9 is welded and fixed on the glue application frame 32. The clamping plate 9 is sleeved and fixed on the support column 33. In this embodiment, the clamping plate 9 is sleeved and fixed to the support column 33 by opening a slot and bolting, which ensures the stable connection between the glue application frame 32 and the support column 33. The presence of the clamping plate 9 provides an additional support point for the glue application frame 32 and enhances its structural stability.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 The glue-applying frame 32 has a through-hole 10. In this embodiment, the glue-applying tube 31 is installed at the through-hole 10 of the glue-applying frame 32. The glue-applying tube 31 itself has a corresponding extrusion mechanism. The glue-applying frame 32 also has a threaded hole 11. The inner wall of the threaded hole 11 is connected to the inner wall of the through-hole 10. A knob 12 is installed on the outside of the glue-applying frame 32. The knob 12 is threaded into the threaded hole 11 and extends into the through-hole 10 until the end of the knob 12 abuts against the tube wall of the glue-applying tube 31. The design of the through-hole 10 allows the glue-applying tube 31 to easily pass through the glue-applying frame 32, achieving preliminary positioning and installation, simplifying the installation process of the glue-applying tube 31. The knob 12 can be firmly pressed against the tube wall of the glue-applying tube 31, ensuring that the glue-applying tube 31 will not shake or fall off during the glue-applying operation.

[0041] The implementation principle of a fixture for a glue-applying machine according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When applying glue to a workpiece, the workpieces to be glued are placed sequentially in the positioning fixtures 22 on the multi-station disc 21. The drive assembly 23 is activated, and the multi-station disc 21 begins to rotate, bringing the workpieces sequentially to the corresponding glue-applying mechanism 3. Each glue-applying mechanism 3 is activated when the workpiece arrives to perform precise glue-applying operations. As the multi-station disc 21 continues to rotate, the glued workpieces are carried away from the glue-applying area, while new un-glueed workpieces are sent to the glue-applying position, forming a continuous and efficient glue-applying production line. When all workpieces have undergone... After the adhesive application process, the multi-station disc 21 stops rotating, and the operator can remove the glued workpieces from each positioning fixture 22 at once without having to process them one by one. The setup of the fixture mechanism 2 and the adhesive application mechanism 3 improves the automation level of the production line. The multi-station disc 21 design can load multiple workpieces at once, and the drive assembly 23 enables continuous rotation of the workpieces and adhesive application, avoiding the tedious process of changing workpieces one by one after each adhesive application, which is a traditional fixture. This significantly improves production efficiency, can easily adapt to various production tasks, and enhances the versatility and flexibility of the production line.

[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
