[0002] When mounting solar cell modules on back rails or frames, structural adhesive is typically used for bonding. To maintain bonding strength, the structural adhesive needs to maintain a fixed thickness. This is usually achieved by using locating beads or blocks. In automated production, the locating beads need to be placed quickly and accurately, which is difficult to achieve manually. Therefore, a structural adhesive locating bead feeding mechanism is provided. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a structural adhesive limiting bead feeding mechanism that solves the problems of maintaining bonding strength, ensuring a fixed thickness of the structural adhesive, and precisely placing the limiting beads.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a structural adhesive limiting bead feeding mechanism, comprising:

[0006] The feeding plate is slidably disposed on the base plate and moves back and forth or cyclically between the feeding tube and the discharge port. The feeding plate is provided with a limiting through hole that cooperates with the limiting bead. The feeding tube can convey the limiting bead into the limiting through hole.

[0007] A driving mechanism is provided at one end of the feeding plate away from the discharge port. The driving mechanism drives the limiting bead through the limiting through hole and the discharge port by airflow or discharge rod.

[0008] A limiting mechanism is provided on the limiting through hole or the discharge port to restrict the rolling of the limiting ball.

[0009] Optionally, the limiting mechanism includes an elastic ring, which is disposed at the end of the discharge port away from the feeding plate.

[0010] Optionally, the driving mechanism includes a discharge cylinder and a discharge rod. The driving end of the discharge cylinder is connected to the discharge rod.

[0018] This utility model provides a structural adhesive limiting bead feeding mechanism, the advantages of which are:

[0019] The structural adhesive limiting bead feeding mechanism continuously supplies limiting beads through a feeding pipe. A feeding plate transports the limiting beads from the outlet of the feeding pipe to the discharge port. Then, a drive mechanism forces the limiting beads to leak out through the limiting through-hole and the discharge port, thus dispensing the limiting beads. Simultaneously, the limiting mechanism prevents the limiting beads from rolling freely and leaking out of the discharge port before reaching their designated positions.

[0020] Other features and advantages of this invention will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0027] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a structural adhesive limiting bead feeding mechanism includes:

[0028] The substrate 1 has a feeding tube 2 and a discharge port 3 with limit beads spaced apart on it.

[0029] The feeding plate 4 is slidably disposed on the base plate 1 and moves back and forth or cyclically between the feeding tube 2 and the discharge port 3. The feeding plate 4 is provided with a limiting through hole that cooperates with the limiting bead. The feeding tube 2 can convey the limiting bead into the limiting through hole.

[0030] The drive mechanism is located at the end of the feeding plate 4 away from the discharge port 3. The drive mechanism drives the limiting bead through the limiting through hole and the discharge port 3 by airflow or discharge rod 5.

[0031] A limiting mechanism is installed on the limiting through hole or the discharge port 3 to restrict the rolling of the limiting ball.

[0032] Specifically, the limiting beads are continuously supplied through the feeding pipe 2, and the feeding plate 4 transports the limiting beads from the outlet of the feeding pipe 2 to the discharge port 3. Then, the driving mechanism drives the limiting beads to leak out through the limiting through hole and the discharge port 3, thus realizing the release of the limiting beads. At the same time, the limiting mechanism prevents the limiting beads from rolling freely and leaking out of the discharge port 3 before reaching their designated positions.

[0033] Furthermore, the limiting through hole can completely accommodate only one limiting bead, ensuring stable movement of the limiting bead after driving, and thus accurately falling to the predetermined position.

[0034] Furthermore, a positioning detection mechanism or a connected position controller is provided on the substrate 1, which automatically discharges the limit bead after the bead is in position.

[0035] In this embodiment, the limiting mechanism includes an elastic ring 6, which is disposed at the end of the discharge port 3 away from the feeding plate 4.

[0036] Specifically, the elastic ring 6 prevents the limiting bead from falling out of the discharge port 3, and the discharge rod 5 can squeeze the limiting bead through the elastic ring 6.

[0037] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a discharge cylinder 11 and a discharge rod 5. The driving end of the discharge cylinder 11 is connected to the discharge rod 5. The discharge rod 5 is axially arranged at the end of the feeding plate 4 away from the discharge port 3. The discharge rod 5 is used to drive the limiting bead through the limiting through hole and the discharge port 3.

[0038] Specifically, the discharge cylinder 11 drives the discharge rod 5 to reciprocate.

[0039] In this embodiment, the feeding pipe 2 is connected to the feeding hopper 7, and the feeding hopper 7 is equipped with a stirring mechanism 8.

[0040] Specifically, the stirring mechanism 8 or the vibration mechanism prevents the limit beads from accumulating and blocking.

[0041] In this embodiment, a vacuum nozzle 9 is provided on the substrate 1 at the position corresponding to the feeding tube 2. The vacuum nozzle 9 is used to suck the limiting bead into the limiting through hole.

[0042] Specifically, the material is fed through a vacuum nozzle 9 to avoid friction, static electricity, or other factors that could prevent the limiting beads from falling into the limiting through hole.

[0043] Furthermore, the suction end of the vacuum nozzle 9 is provided with a filter screen that is flush with the substrate 1 to prevent the limiting bead from obstructing the movement of the discharge plate.

[0044] In this embodiment, a feeding cylinder 10 is provided on the substrate 1. The telescopic end of the feeding cylinder 10 is connected to the feeding plate 4. The feeding plate 4 moves linearly back and forth between the feeding pipe 2 and the discharge port 3.

[0045] Specifically, the feeding cylinder 10 drives the feeding plate 4 to reciprocate.

[0046] Furthermore, the feeding plate 4 can also be a disc-shaped rotating motion.

[0047] In this embodiment, the discharge end of the feeding pipe 2 is provided with a vertical guide pipe 12.

[0048] Specifically, the guide tube 12 is used to guide the limiting beads so that they can fall vertically into the limiting through hole, thereby improving the accuracy of material feeding.

[0049] In this embodiment, a limiting tube 13 is provided on the substrate 1, and the discharge rod 5 passes through the limiting tube 13.

[0050] Specifically, the movement of the paper discharge rod 5 is stabilized by the limiting tube 13.

[0051] In this embodiment, the feeding tube 2 is located above the substrate 1, and the discharge port 3 is located below the substrate 1.

[0052] In this embodiment, a linkage limiting mechanism is provided between the discharge cylinder 11 and the feeding cylinder 10.

[0053] Specifically, the linkage limiting mechanism prevents the discharge rod 5 from directly squeezing the discharge plate, thus avoiding twisting damage.

[0054] Furthermore, locking can be achieved through programming or mechanical limit locking.

[0055] In this embodiment, a structural adhesive limiting bead feeding mechanism is used, taking the fixed-point placement of the limiting beads as an example:

[0056] The structural adhesive limiting bead feeding mechanism or photovoltaic panel is moved by a robotic arm. When the structural adhesive limiting bead feeding mechanism moves to the limiting bead installation point, the discharge plate moves to move the limiting through hole to below the feeding pipe 2. The vacuum nozzle 9 sucks the roller in the feeding pipe 2 into the limiting through hole. Then the discharge plate moves to move the limiting through hole to the discharge port 3. Then the drive mechanism is activated, and the discharge rod 5 squeezes the limiting bead through the limiting through hole and the discharge port 3 to achieve precise installation of the limiting bead.

[0057] The various embodiments of the present invention have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
