[0022] In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0023] An automatic ink-brushing machine, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a workbench 1, a hanger 3 placed on top of the workbench 1 for placing products, and a three-axis drive module set on top of the workbench 1. The hanger 3 has recessed holes arranged in an array along its length for inserting products. The lifting end of the three-axis drive module is provided with symmetrically arranged glue brush heads 6. The three-axis drive module can control the glue brush heads 6. A base plate 2 for placing the hanger 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1 by bolts.

[0024] The three-axis drive module includes an X-axis linear motor 411, a Y-axis linear motor 412, and a Z-axis linear motor 413. Two support platforms 4 are fixedly connected to the top of the worktable 1 on one side of the base plate 2. Support seats 41 are fixedly connected to the top of the two support platforms 4. The X-axis linear motor 411 is fixedly connected to the top of the support seats 41. A drive plate extending along the Y-axis is fixedly connected to the drive end of the X-axis linear motor 411. The Y-axis linear motor 412 is fixedly connected to one side of the drive plate. The support seats 41 lift the X-axis linear motor 411, thereby lifting the Y-axis linear motor 412 and preventing the Y-axis linear motor from being lifted. When the machine 412 moves, it touches the product; a slide rail is fixedly connected to one side of the support base 41, and a slider that slides with the slide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive plate. The setting of the slide rail and the slider makes the movement of the drive plate more stable. The Z-axis linear motor 413 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the Y-axis linear motor 412. The drive end of the Z-axis linear motor 413 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 414, and the glue brush head 6 is set on the lifting plate 414. By setting a three-axis drive module, the glue brush head 6 can be controlled to move along the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis on the worktable 1 to drive the glue brushing action without manual operation, saving time and effort.

[0025] A support plate 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the lifting plate 414. Adjusting plates 52 are symmetrically arranged on the support plate 5. The glue brush head 6 is mounted on the adjusting plate 52. The support plate 5 has symmetrically arranged adjusting grooves 51, arranged in a figure-eight pattern. The adjusting plate 52 is slidably connected within the adjusting grooves 51. The adjusting plate 52 has symmetrically arranged first countersunk holes with an oblong cross-section. Several first threaded holes communicating with the first countersunk holes are arranged in an array within the adjusting grooves 51. By cooperating with the adjusting plate 52 and the adjusting grooves 51 on the support plate 5, the movement trajectory of the adjusting plate 52 is limited. The figure-eight arrangement of the two adjusting grooves 51 allows the adjusting plate 52 to move at an angle within the adjusting grooves 51, enabling adjacent adjusting plates 52 to move closer or further apart during this tilting motion. This changes the distance between adjacent glue brush heads 6. The ability to accommodate products of varying thicknesses expands the overall applicability of the ink-brushing machine. The inclusion of a first threaded hole and a first countersunk hole, with the first countersunk hole having a waist-shaped cross-section, allows the adjusting plate 52 to be stably fixed in the corresponding position within the adjusting groove 51 using bolts. A protruding mounting portion 521 is bolted to the side of the adjusting plate 52 away from the support plate 5. The mounting portion 521 has a second threaded hole, and a mounting block 61 is fixedly connected to the brush head 6. The mounting block 61 has a second countersunk hole 611 communicating with the second threaded hole. The mounting block 61 is bolted to the mounting portion 521. By setting the mounting block 61 and fixing it to the mounting portion 521 with bolts, loosening the bolts allows the mounting block 61 (i.e., the brush head 6) to rotate relative to each other. When the two brush heads 6 rotate, the distance between adjacent brush heads 6 can also be changed.

[0026] The top of the base plate 2 has an array of grooves 22 for inserting the hanger 3. One end of the groove 22 extends to one side of the base plate 2 and is open. The hanger 3 is inserted into the groove 22 to achieve a limiting effect. A limiting member 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 2 by bolts. Both ends of the hanger 3 have integrally formed protrusions 31. The limiting member 21 has a limiting groove 211 for inserting the protrusion 31 and communicates with the groove 22. After the hanger 3 is inserted into the groove 22, the protrusion 31 is inserted into the limiting groove 211. The limiting member 21 is used to limit the protrusion 31 from leaving the base plate 2 along the thickness direction of the base plate 2, which has a good positioning effect. This ensures that the hanger 3 will not shake during coating, thus ensuring the quality of the glue application and the product quality.

[0027] Working principle: The needle array is inserted into the hanger 3, and then the hanger 3 is inserted into the groove 22 along its length until the protrusion 31 on the end face of the hanger 3 is inserted into the limiting groove 211 of the limiting member 21, thus completing the positioning of the hanger 3. This ensures that the hanger 3 will not shake during coating, thereby ensuring the quality of the glue application and thus the product quality. Then, using the three-axis drive module, the glue application head 6 is moved along the Y-axis to the hanger 3, and then the glue application head 6 is lowered along the Z-axis so that the needles are positioned between the two glue application heads 6 for glue application. After glue application, the glue application head 6 is driven to move along the X-axis so that all the needles on the hanger 3 are coated. No manual coating is required, saving time and effort and improving work efficiency.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
