Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of industrial robot technology, specifically an industrial robot for applying adhesive. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial robots are multi-jointed manipulators or multi-degree-of-freedom machine devices designed for industrial applications. They can automatically perform tasks and rely on their own power and control capabilities to achieve various functions. They can be commanded by humans or run according to pre-programmed procedures. Currently, in the glue coating process, an industrial robot is needed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of glue coating.
[0003] An industrial robot for applying glue is an automated device widely used in manufacturing. It can accurately apply glue to the surface of a product. It typically includes a robot, a glue gun, and a glue supply system. By placing the product on a table, the robot is controlled to position itself and drive the glue gun to apply glue to the product. With the support of the supply system, the product is continuously coated.
[0004] An existing industrial robot for applying adhesive can assist the robot's nozzle in applying adhesive to the exterior of products. However, there are still many blind spots at the robot's joints, which can lead to incomplete coating of irregularly shaped products. Furthermore, the current coating replenishment is usually done manually, but manual replenishment cannot keep up with the robot's coating speed, which affects work efficiency. Therefore, an industrial robot for applying adhesive is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This utility model, by setting up a drive motor, allows the product to be coated to be placed on the base plate before operation. The product is usually not fixed in shape. By starting the drive motor, the drive motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft drives the gear to mesh with the meshing teeth, which in turn drives the gear plate to rotate.

When the glue level is relatively full, the groove on the sliding plate will not connect with the glue inlet pipe, and no more glue will be injected. When the glue level drops, the groove will connect with the glue inlet pipe, and the glue will flow into the glue storage tank. The pump will be started, and the pump will deliver the glue to the coating pipe through a rubber hose, thereby performing the glue coating operation. This saves labor and improves the working efficiency of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0025] In existing industrial robots used for gluing, the gluing nozzles can assist the robot in applying glue to the exterior of products. However, there are still many blind spots at the robot joints, which can lead to incomplete coating of irregularly shaped products. In this solution, the present invention uses a drive motor 14. Before operation, the product to be coated is placed on the base plate 1. The product is usually irregular in shape. By starting the drive motor 14, the drive motor 14 drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft drives the gear 15 to mesh with the meshing teeth, which in turn drives the gear plate 11 to rotate. A first electric telescopic cylinder 18 and a rotating plate 19 are provided for positioning before gluing. When an angle deflection is required, the second electric telescopic cylinder 22 is extended and retracted. The extension rod of the second electric telescopic cylinder 22 drives the rotating plate 16 to rotate on the robotic arm 13 around the pin shaft. This combination enables coating of the blind spots of the product and improves the working efficiency of the device.

[0027] In current industrial robots used for applying adhesive, the spraying and replenishing of adhesive is usually done manually. However, manual replenishment cannot keep up with the speed of the robot's adhesive application, which affects work efficiency. In this solution, an automatic adhesive replenishment component is set up. The adhesive inlet pipe 31 is connected to an external pipeline. Initially, the float 34 floats at a high position. As the float 34 rises, it drives the limit plate to rise. The limit plate drives the slide plate 32 to slide on the inner wall of the adhesive storage tank 3. When the adhesive level is relatively full, the groove on the slide plate 32 is not connected to the adhesive inlet pipe 31, and no more adhesive is injected. When the adhesive level drops, the groove connects to the adhesive inlet pipe 31, and the adhesive flows into the adhesive storage tank 3. The pump 35 is started, and the pump 35 delivers the adhesive to the adhesive application pipe 10 through the rubber hose 36, thereby performing the adhesive application operation. This saves labor and improves the working efficiency of the device.
[0028] Working Principle: Existing industrial robots used for gluing can assist the gluing robot's nozzle in applying glue to the exterior of products. However, there are still many blind spots at the robot's joints, which can lead to incomplete coating of irregularly shaped products. In this solution, the present invention uses a drive motor 14. Before operation, the product to be coated is placed on the base plate 1. The product is usually irregularly shaped. By starting the drive motor 14, the drive motor 14 drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft drives the gear 15 to mesh with the meshing teeth, which in turn drives the gear plate 11 to rotate. A first electric telescopic cylinder 18 and a rotating plate 19 are provided for positioning before gluing. When an angle deflection is required, the second electric telescopic cylinder 22 is extended and retracted. The extension rod of the second electric telescopic cylinder 22 drives the rotating plate 16 to rotate on the robotic arm 13 around the pin shaft. This combination enables coating of the product's blind spots and improves the working efficiency of the device.
[0029] Currently, the application of adhesive in industrial robots is typically done manually. However, manual application cannot keep up with the robot's application speed, affecting work efficiency. In this solution, an automatic adhesive replenishment component is installed. The adhesive inlet pipe 31 is connected to an external pipeline. Initially, the float 34 floats at a high position. As the float 34 rises, it drives the limit plate to rise. The limit plate then drives the sliding plate 32 to slide on the inner wall of the adhesive storage tank 3. When the adhesive level is high, the groove on the sliding plate 32 is not connected to the adhesive inlet pipe 31, and no more adhesive is injected. When the adhesive level drops, the groove connects to the adhesive inlet pipe 31, and the adhesive flows into the adhesive storage tank 3. The pump 35 is then activated, and it delivers the adhesive to the coating pipe 10 through the rubber hose 36, thus performing the adhesive application operation. This saves labor and improves the efficiency of the device.
