Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dispensing equipment, and specifically relates to a dispensing device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, dispensing mechanisms cannot automatically determine whether the dispensing of a product is complete, making it impossible to achieve full automation of the dispensing process and resulting in low dispensing efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a dispensing device that enables fully automated dispensing, improves dispensing efficiency, and reduces costs.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] This utility model provides a dispensing device, comprising:
[0006] Control mechanism;
[0007] Multiple sets of product carriers for securing products;
[0008] Carrier transfer mechanism for switching between multiple product carrier workstations;
[0009] The first position sensor used to detect whether the product is in the initial dispensing position;
[0010] A second position sensor used to detect whether the product is in the position where glue dispensing is complete;
[0011] Dispensing mechanism for dispensing adhesive;
[0012] The vehicle transfer mechanism, the first position sensor, the second position sensor, and the glue injection mechanism are all connected to the control mechanism.
[0013] Furthermore, the carrier transfer mechanism includes a turntable and a rotary motor. The turntable is connected to the output end of the rotary motor, and multiple sets of product carriers are symmetrically fixed on the turntable. The rotary motor can drive the turntable to rotate, realizing the switching of multiple sets of product carriers between the glue injection station and the glue-to-be-injected station, thereby achieving continuous glue injection and improving glue injection efficiency.
[0014] Furthermore, the carrier transfer mechanism also includes a turntable positioning seat, on which a fixture detection sensor is installed. A positioning block is also provided at the bottom of the turntable, and the turntable positioning seat is located along the rotational stroke of the positioning block. When the turntable rotates to switch the workstation of the product carrier, the positioning block can rotate and abut against the turntable positioning seat, thereby achieving blocking and positioning of the product carrier and preventing improper positioning of the product carrier and the glue injection mechanism. Simultaneously, when the workstation switch is completed, the fixture detection sensor detects whether the product carrier containing the product to be glued has reached the glue injection position.
[0015] Furthermore, the product carrier includes a carrier support plate, a carrier base, and a product clamping component. The carrier support plate is fixed to the turntable, the carrier base is mounted on the carrier support plate, and the product clamping component is slidably connected to the carrier base. The carrier base is provided with a first product clamping part, and the product clamping component includes a second product clamping part. The first product clamping part and the second product clamping part form a clamping groove for clamping the product. By moving the product clamping component, the size of the clamping groove can be adjusted, thereby facilitating the clamping, fixing, and releasing of the product.
[0016] Furthermore, the product clamping component also includes a sliding part, which is fixedly connected to the second product clamping part. The carrier base is provided with a slide groove, and a spring is provided in the slide groove. The sliding part is movably disposed in the slide groove, and one end of the sliding part extends out of the slide groove. One end of the spring is connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, and the other end is connected to the sliding part.
[0017] Furthermore, the product carrier is also provided with a carrier opening module on its side. The carrier opening module includes a support frame, a carrier opening cylinder, and an ejector rod. The carrier opening cylinder is mounted on the support frame. One end of the ejector rod is connected to the output end of the carrier opening cylinder, and the other end is disposed opposite to the sliding part. Under normal conditions, the sliding part will approach the first product clamping part under the pull of the spring. Similarly, the second product clamping part will also approach the first product clamping part, narrowing the clamping groove and clamping and fixing the product. When the first position sensor detects a product at the initial glue injection position, the control mechanism will control the carrier opening cylinder to work, driving the ejector rod towards the sliding part. This pushes the sliding part and the second product clamping part a small distance away from the first product clamping part, making the clamping groove slightly larger. This ensures that the product is limited without being clamped and fixed. As a result, the glue injection mechanism can use the force of the glue to slightly move the product forward during glue injection. When the glue injection is completed, the product will be exactly at the position of the second position sensor and can be detected by the second position sensor. The control mechanism will then control the glue injection mechanism to stop the glue injection.
[0018] Furthermore, the product carrier also includes a first slide rail and a first slider. The first slide rail is fixed to the carrier support plate, and the carrier base is slidably connected to the first slide rail via the first slider. This structural configuration allows for adjustment of the carrier base's front and rear position, facilitating glue injection by the glue injection mechanism.
[0019] Furthermore, the glue dispensing mechanism includes a glue cooling tank, a linear motion module, and a glue dispensing needle. The glue cooling tank is connected to the linear motion module, and the glue dispensing needle is mounted on the glue cooling tank, with the glue dispensing needle positioned opposite to the product carrier. When the workstation switch is completed and the fixture detection sensor detects that the product carrier containing the product to be glued has arrived at the glue dispensing position, the control mechanism controls the linear motion module to move the glue cooling tank to the glue dispensing position, and the glue dispensing needle dispenses the glue into the product. In this application, the glue cooling tank can condense the gaseous glue into a liquid state, facilitating glue dispensing by the glue dispensing needle. The glue dispensing needle is controlled by a gas source, and a pressure regulating valve controls the airflow to generate air pressure, pushing the glue into the product.
[0020] Furthermore, the linear motion module includes a linear motion cylinder, a cylinder connecting plate, a base plate, a second slide rail, and a second slider. The cylinder connecting plate is connected to the output end of the linear motion cylinder and is fixedly connected to the base plate. The glue cooling tank is mounted on the base plate, and the base plate is slidably connected to the second slide rail via the second slider. When the linear motion cylinder is working, it can drive the glue cooling tank to move back and forth through the cylinder connecting plate and the base plate. During glue injection, the glue cooling tank is moved to the injection position, and when the glue injection is completed, the glue cooling tank is driven to retract.
[0021] Furthermore, the side of the carrier transfer mechanism is also equipped with two sets of safety light curtains. When an object is detected entering the dispensing device, it will be fed back to the control mechanism, which will control the rotary motor and linear movement cylinder to stop working to avoid accidental injury to personnel or equipment.
[0022] Furthermore, the dispensing device also includes a frame, and the control mechanism, carrier transfer mechanism, first position sensor, second position sensor, and dispensing mechanism are all disposed within the frame and fixedly connected to the frame.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by cooperating with the control mechanism, the carrier transfer mechanism, the first position sensor, the second position sensor, and the dispensing mechanism, it can determine whether the product is in place and whether the dispensing is completed during dispensing, thereby achieving fully automatic dispensing, improving dispensing efficiency, and reducing costs.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0031] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0032] See Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a dispensing device, including:
[0033] Control mechanism 1;
[0034] Multiple sets of product carriers 2 for fixing product 7;
[0035] Carrier transfer mechanism 3 for switching between multiple product carriers at workstation 2;
[0036] First position sensor 4 is used to detect whether product 7 is in the initial dispensing position;
[0037] Second position sensor 5 is used to detect whether product 7 is in the glue dispensing completed position;
[0038] 6. Dispensing mechanism for dispensing adhesive;
[0039] The vehicle transfer mechanism 3, the first position sensor 4, the second position sensor 5, and the glue injection mechanism 6 are all connected to the control mechanism 1.
[0040] In this application, the first position sensor 4 and the second position sensor 5 are photoelectric, magnetic, or other types of position sensors, which can provide feedback on the position of the product. When the carrier transfer mechanism 3 moves the product carrier 2 containing the product to the initial glue injection position, it can be detected by the first position sensor 4, which transmits the detection signal to the control mechanism 1. The control mechanism 1 controls the glue injection mechanism 6 to inject glue. During the glue injection process, the force of the glue impacts the product, causing the product to be pushed to the glue injection completion position when the glue injection is completed. This position is detected by the second position sensor 5, which then transmits the detection signal to the control mechanism 1. The control mechanism 1 controls the glue injection mechanism 6 to stop injecting glue. Then, the control mechanism 1 controls the carrier transfer mechanism 3 to switch workstations, transferring the glue-injected product away and moving the product carrier 2 containing the product to be glued to the glue injection position.
[0041] It should be noted that the control mechanism 1 receiving the detection signals from the first position sensor 4 and the second position sensor 5, and then controlling the glue injection mechanism 6 and the carrier transfer mechanism 3, is existing technology, and its specific implementation process will not be described in detail in this application.
[0042] Furthermore, the carrier transfer mechanism 3 includes a turntable 31 and a rotary motor 32. The turntable 31 is connected to the output end of the rotary motor 32, and multiple sets of product carriers 2 are symmetrically fixed on the turntable 31. The rotary motor 32 can drive the turntable 31 to rotate, realizing the switching of multiple sets of product carriers 2 between the glue injection station and the glue-to-be-injected station, thereby achieving continuous glue injection and improving glue injection efficiency.
[0043] Furthermore, the carrier transfer mechanism 3 also includes a turntable positioning seat 33, which is equipped with a fixture detection sensor. A positioning block 34 is also provided at the bottom of the turntable 31. The turntable positioning seat 33 is located on the rotation stroke of the positioning block 34, and the fixture detection sensor is fixed on the turntable positioning seat 33. When the turntable rotates to switch the workstation of the product carrier 2, the positioning block 34 can rotate and abut against the turntable positioning seat 33, thereby achieving the blocking positioning of the product carrier 2 and preventing the product carrier 2 from being misaligned with the glue injection mechanism 6. At the same time, when the workstation switch is completed, the fixture detection sensor can detect whether the product carrier 2 containing the product to be glued has arrived at the glue injection position.
[0044] Furthermore, the product carrier 2 includes a carrier support plate 21, a carrier base 22, and a product clamping member 23. The carrier support plate 21 is fixed to the turntable 31, the carrier base 22 is mounted on the carrier support plate 21, and the product clamping member 23 is slidably connected to the carrier base 22. A first product clamping part 24 is provided on the carrier base 22, and the product clamping member 23 includes a second product clamping part 231. The first product clamping part 24 and the second product clamping part 231 form a clamping groove 25 for clamping the product. By moving the product clamping member 23, the size of the clamping groove 25 can be adjusted, thereby facilitating the clamping, fixing, and releasing of the product.
[0045] Furthermore, the product clamping component 23 also includes a sliding part 232, which is fixedly connected to the second product clamping part 231. A slide groove 26 is provided on the carrier base 22, and a spring (not shown) is provided in the slide groove 26. The sliding part 232 is movably disposed in the slide groove 26, and one end of the sliding part 232 extends out of the slide groove 26. One end of the spring is connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 26, and the other end is connected to the sliding part 232.
[0046] Furthermore, a carrier opening module 27 is also provided on the side of the product carrier 2. The carrier opening module 27 includes a support frame 271, a carrier opening cylinder 272, and an ejector rod 273. The carrier opening cylinder 272 is mounted on the support frame 271. One end of the ejector rod 273 is connected to the output end of the carrier opening cylinder 272, and the other end is disposed opposite to the sliding part 232. Under normal conditions, the sliding part 232 will approach the first product clamping part 24 under the pull of the spring. Similarly, the second product clamping part 231 will also approach the first product clamping part 24, reducing the clamping groove 25 and clamping and fixing the product. When the first position sensor 4 detects a product at the initial glue injection position, the control mechanism 1 will control the carrier opening cylinder 272 to work, driving the ejector rod 273 to move towards the sliding part 232, pushing the sliding part 232 and the second product clamping part 231 a small distance away from the first product clamping part 24, so that the clamping groove 25 is slightly enlarged. While ensuring that the product can be limited, the product is not clamped and fixed. Thus, when the glue injection mechanism 6 injects glue, it can use the force of the glue to move the product slightly forward. When the glue injection is completed, the product will be exactly at the position of the second position sensor 5 and can be detected by the second position sensor 5. The control mechanism 1 will control the glue injection mechanism 6 to stop the glue injection.
[0047] Furthermore, the product carrier 2 also includes a first slide rail 28 and a first slider 29. The first slide rail 28 is fixed to the carrier support plate 21, and the carrier base 22 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 28 via the first slider 29. The above structure enables the front and rear position adjustment of the carrier base 22, facilitating the glue injection mechanism 6 to inject glue.
[0048] Furthermore, the glue dispensing mechanism 6 includes a glue cooling tank 61, a linear motion module 62, and a glue dispensing needle. The glue cooling tank 61 is connected to the linear motion module 62, and the glue dispensing needle is mounted on the glue cooling tank 61, with the glue dispensing needle positioned opposite to the product carrier 2. When the workstation switch is completed and the fixture detection sensor detects that the product carrier 2, containing the product to be glued, has arrived at the glue dispensing position, the control mechanism 1 controls the linear motion module 62 to move the glue cooling tank 61 to the glue dispensing position, and then dispenses the glue into the product through the glue dispensing needle. In this application, the glue cooling tank 61 can condense the gaseous glue into a liquid state, facilitating glue dispensing by the glue dispensing needle. The glue dispensing needle is controlled by a gas source, and a pressure regulating valve controls the airflow to generate air pressure, pushing the glue into the product.
[0049] Furthermore, the linear motion module 62 includes a linear motion cylinder 621, a cylinder connecting plate 622, a base plate 623, a second slide rail 624, and a second slider 625. The cylinder connecting plate 622 is connected to the output end of the linear motion cylinder 621, and the cylinder connecting plate 622 is fixedly connected to the base plate 623. The glue cooling tank 61 is mounted on the base plate 623, and the base plate 623 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 624 via the second slider 625. When the linear motion cylinder 621 is working, it can drive the glue cooling tank to move back and forth through the cylinder connecting plate 622 and the base plate 623. During glue injection, the glue cooling tank is moved to the injection position, and when the glue injection is completed, the glue cooling tank is driven to retract.
[0050] Furthermore, two sets of safety light curtains 8 are also provided on the side of the vehicle transfer mechanism 3. When an object is detected entering the dispensing device, it will be fed back to the control mechanism 1. The control mechanism 1 controls the rotary motor 32 and the linear movement cylinder 621 to stop working to avoid accidental injury to staff or equipment.
[0051] Furthermore, the dispensing device also includes a frame 9, and the control mechanism 1, carrier transfer mechanism 3, first position sensor 4, second position sensor 5, dispensing mechanism 6, and safety light curtain 8 are all disposed in the frame 9 and fixedly connected to the frame 9.
[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
