Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features.

Details are set forth in the following description for purposes of explanation. It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention can be implemented without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes will not be described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail. Therefore, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] To address the technical challenges of complex and costly adhesive application processes in multi-layered products with glossy surfaces, such as the adhesive application process for automotive interior and exterior trim parts; see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 This embodiment provides a dispensing device, specifically including: a base 1, a sliding component 2, and a dispensing component 3. The sliding component 2 is disposed on the base 1, and the dispensing component 3 is disposed on the sliding component 2, so that the dispensing component 3, driven by the sliding component 2, slides along the product to be dispensed on the base 1 in at least one direction to perform fixed-point dispensing across the light-emitting area on the product to be dispensed. That is, when the dispensing component 3 slides above the product to be dispensed, it does not dispense glue after identifying the light-emitting area on the product to be dispensed, but dispenses glue at the corresponding dispensing position after passing the light-emitting area. This structural design avoids the complicated glue application method of traditionally requiring the use of a separator to cover and isolate the light-emitting area before spraying or scraping glue, and at the same time, it greatly saves glue and simplifies the operation steps.

[0026] For example, the sliding component 2 is connected to an external controller to control the dispensing component 3 to perform dispensing operations at the dispensing position. Based on the dispensing position data and light emission area data of the product to be dispensed obtained from the controller, the sliding component 2 is controlled to accurately position itself, and the dispensing component 3 is controlled to dispense the adhesive.

[0027] For example, the sliding assembly 2 is equipped with a sensor 4 to identify the light-emitting area on the product to be glued. Based on the light-emitting area detected by the sensor 4, the dispensing assembly 3 will not dispense glue and will avoid the light-emitting area. When the sensor 4 does not detect the light-emitting area at the dispensing point, the dispensing assembly 3 can be controlled to dispense glue. It should be noted that the light-emitting area is a hole or opening. The sensor 4 can be a distance sensor. For example, the vertical distance h between the sensor 4 and the light-emitting area can be set, and the vertical distance H between the sensor 4 and the dispensing position can be set. When the distance detected by the sensor 4 is h, the dispensing assembly 3 stops working, and the sliding assembly 2 continues to move. When the distance detected by the sensor 4 is H, the dispensing assembly 3 starts working. This control process is implemented through a controller.

[0028] For example, the dispensing component 3 is used to dispense adhesive onto the product to be dispensed, and may be a dispensing machine.

[0029] It can be noted that, depending on specific needs, one sensor can be provided, which can be located on the dispensing assembly 3, for example, the dispensing head; when the sensor detects the light-emitting area, it feeds back the signal to the controller connected to the sliding assembly 2. After receiving the signal, the controller issues a movement command to the sliding assembly 2 and stops dispensing; when the sliding assembly 2 moves to the position where dispensing is required, the sensor stops working and the dispensing assembly 3 starts dispensing.

[0030] In the specific real-time process, the sliding component 2 includes a gantry bracket 21, a first electric cylinder 22, a second electric cylinder 23, and a third electric cylinder 24. The bottom of both sides of the gantry bracket 21 is fixedly connected to a first electric cylinder 22, and the gantry bracket 21 is moved along the Y direction of the base by the first electric cylinder 22.

[0031] The upper two sides of the gantry bracket 21 are respectively connected to a second electric cylinder 23, and the second electric cylinder 23 drives the dispensing assembly 3 to move along the base 1Z direction;

[0032] The third electric cylinder 24 is mounted on the slider of the second electric cylinder 23, and the dispensing assembly 3 is mounted on the third electric cylinder 24. The third electric cylinder 24 drives the dispensing assembly 3 to move along the base 1X direction.

[0033] The sliding component 2 achieves three-dimensional displacement to enable precise dispensing of adhesive to the product from all directions.

[0034] More specifically, the gantry bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the slider of the first electric cylinder 22. The first electric cylinder 22 drives the gantry bracket 21 to slide back and forth along the base 1Y direction, thereby realizing the dispensing of glue at the dispensing position in the front and rear directions of the product to be glued.

[0035] The second electric cylinder 23 is fixed to the bottom of the crossbeam 211 of the gantry bracket 21, and the slider of the second electric cylinder 23 is slidably adapted to the concave slide rail 212 of the gantry bracket 21, so that the dispensing assembly 3 can slide in the up and down direction under the action of the second electric cylinder 23 to move away from or closer to the product to be dispensed. At the same time, the dispensing operation can be realized for products of different heights by adjusting the height.

[0036] The slider of the third electric cylinder 24 is slidably connected to the slider of the second electric cylinder 23. The dispensing assembly 3 is disposed on the slider of the third electric cylinder 24 so as to drive the dispensing assembly 3 to slide in the left and right direction along the product to be dispensed to dispense glue.

[0037] For example, the base 1 has recessed platforms 11 on its left and right sides along its length direction, and the slider of the first electric cylinder 22 is located on the recessed platform 11 and slidably connected to it; in order to prevent the slider of the first electric cylinder 22 from sliding out of the recessed platform 11 along its sliding direction, a baffle 12 is provided at one end of the recessed platform 11.

[0038] The concave slide rail 212 is provided on the inner side of the vertical rod 213 of the gantry bracket 21, that is, the concave slide rail 212 is provided on the inner side of both vertical rods 213, and the concave slide rail 212 is opened along the height direction of the vertical rod 213, so that the slider of the second electric cylinder 23 slides back and forth along the height direction of the vertical rod 213, thereby driving the dispensing assembly 3 to move up and down.

[0039] The dispensing assembly 3 is used to dispense adhesive onto the product to be dispensed. After the sliding assembly 2 moves it to the dispensing position, the dispensing assembly 3 starts dispensing. The dispensing assembly 3 also includes a glue storage tank, which is connected to the dispensing gun 31. Adhesive is added to the dispensing gun 31 through the glue storage tank.

[0040] It should be noted that the descriptions of each embodiment in the above embodiments have different focuses. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.

[0042] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
