[0037] The working principle is as follows: When in use, the movable plate is first moved vertically upward until the second magnetic block on the movable plate is attracted to the first magnetic block on the support block above it, thereby temporarily fixing the movable plate. At this time, the glue tube and glue dispensing needle installed on the movable plate are located at a high position away from the carrier, which makes it easy to place the product to be processed on the carrier.

[0038] The ring-shaped product is then loaded onto the carrier block and fitted onto the outside of the limiting pin to achieve precise positioning of the product.

[0039] Next, move the movable plate vertically downwards until the distance between the dispensing needle moving with the movable plate and the product loaded on the carrier block is appropriate;

[0040] Simultaneously, the drive motor rotates once, and the dispensing needle on the hose performs one dispensing operation. The hose, dispensing head, and the glue supply components and dispensing control components that work with the hose are all within the scope of existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] By continuously dispensing glue through the dispensing needle, and in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating column that drives the product on the carrier block to rotate one revolution along with the output shaft of the motor, linear ring-shaped glue is dispensed onto the product.

[0042] After the dispensing operation is completed, move the movable plate vertically upward until the second magnetic block on the movable plate engages with the first magnetic block on the support block above it, which facilitates the picking up of the finished product on the carrier.

[0043] When using the aforementioned high-efficiency fiber optic sleeve dispensing mechanism, it achieves automated dispensing while simultaneously enabling ring-shaped dispensing of the product through the cooperation of a fixed dispensing needle and a rotating product carrier. This ensures uniform and stable dispensing volume. Furthermore, the position of the dispensing needle in the vertical direction can be adjusted by moving the movable plate, and the movable plate can be magnetically positioned when the dispensing needle moves away from the carrier, facilitating the loading and unloading of products on the carrier and improving dispensing efficiency and quality.

[0044] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
