Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of adhesive application, and more particularly to an adhesive application device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional adhesive application equipment typically operates manually or semi-automatically, relying on workers to manually place the workpiece and adjust the tape position. The core structure of this type of equipment includes rollers, tape rolls, and a platform for fixing the workpiece. However, the roller height is usually fixed or requires manual adjustment, making it difficult to adapt to workpieces of varying thicknesses. Furthermore, the movement of the workpiece and the adhesive application process largely depend on manual operation, resulting in low application accuracy, poor efficiency, and difficulty in ensuring consistency. Especially in mass production, traditional adhesive application equipment struggles to meet the demands for high efficiency and high precision, while simultaneously increasing labor costs and operational complexity.

[0003] To automate adhesive application equipment, existing technologies have proposed several improvements, such as using a motor to drive rollers to rotate and coordinate with a conveyor belt to move the workpiece, or using sensors to detect the workpiece position and adjust the roller height. However, these solutions still have significant limitations: roller height adjustment cannot adapt to changes in the workpiece surface in real time, the fixing and movement of the workpiece still require manual intervention, and the contact pressure between the adhesive tape and the workpiece is difficult to control precisely, resulting in unstable adhesive application quality and preventing fully automated adhesive application from being achieved.

[0004] The main drawbacks of existing technical solutions are insufficient automation, limited adhesive application accuracy, poor adaptability, and low production efficiency. Specifically, workpiece fixing and movement rely on manual operation, roller height adjustment and workpiece movement accuracy are insufficient, making it difficult to adapt to workpieces of different shapes, sizes, and thicknesses, and the adhesive application speed is limited, failing to meet the needs of mass production.

[0028] The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0030] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-3 An embodiment of this application provides an adhesive application device 100, comprising:

[0032] The roller device 1 is provided with a rolling element 2 that can move up and down in a straight line, and the rolling element 2 is covered with a roll of rubber with the rubber side facing outward.

[0033] The propulsion device 3 includes a slide rail 4 and a pressure plate 5 disposed on the slide rail 4. The pressure plate 5 is slidably connected to the slide rail 4. When viewed along the length direction of the slide rail 4, the slide rail 4 and the rolling element 2 are arranged side by side. A fixing groove 6 is provided on the pressure plate 5. The fixing groove 6 is used to fix the workpiece.

[0034] The control drive 7 is electrically connected to both the roller device 1 and the propulsion device 3. When the control drive 7 is started, the rolling element 2 descends to be flush with the adhesive surface of the workpiece, and the pressure table 5 slides toward the rolling element 2 via the slide rail 4 to complete the adhesive application.

[0035] Specifically, its core feature lies in the integration of a height-adjustable roller device 1 and an automated propulsion system. The roller device 1 is ingeniously designed; its internal rolling element 2 not only moves precisely up and down in a straight line but also carries a roll of adhesive with the glue side facing outwards. This design ensures that the rolling element 2 can closely adhere to the surface of workpieces at different heights, achieving seamless adhesive application. The lifting mechanism of the rolling element 2 is controlled by a precise drive system, allowing for real-time height adjustment to adapt to minute changes in the workpiece surface, greatly improving the accuracy and flexibility of adhesive application. The propulsion device 3 includes a slide rail 4 and a pressure platform 5. A specially designed fixing groove 6 on the pressure platform 5 can firmly fix the workpiece, preventing displacement during the adhesive application process. When the control drive 7 is activated, the rolling element 2 of the roller device 1 first descends to be flush with the adhesive application surface of the workpiece. Then, the pressure platform 5 slides smoothly along the slide rail 4, pushing the workpiece towards the rolling element 2 to complete the adhesive application. This process is not only highly efficient and automated but also significantly reduces errors from manual operation, improving the consistency and quality of adhesive application. Furthermore, the parallel arrangement of the roller device 1 and the propulsion device 3, and their close connection with the control drive 7, optimizes space utilization and ensures smooth and accurate adhesive application. This is undoubtedly a technological innovation for fields such as electronic product manufacturing and automotive parts assembly that require high-precision adhesive application, significantly improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, the adhesive applicator further includes a base plate 8, which is disposed at the lower end of the pushing device 3 and the roller device 1, and the base plate 8 is used to support the roller device 1 and the pushing device 3.

[0037] Specifically, the base plate 8 not only bears the weight of the entire adhesive application equipment but also serves as a stable foundation, making the roller device 1 and the propulsion device 3 more stable and reliable during installation and use. The introduction of the base plate 8 also enhances the equipment's adaptability to different terrains. Whether on a flat factory floor or a slightly uneven workbench, the height of the base plate 8 can be adjusted to ensure the equipment is placed horizontally, thus guaranteeing a smooth adhesive application process. Furthermore, the design of the base plate 8 facilitates the overall handling and movement of the equipment, improving its flexibility and applicability. This allows the adhesive application equipment to be quickly deployed and adjusted on different production lines to meet diverse production needs. This design not only enhances the practicality and convenience of the equipment but also lays a solid foundation for its widespread application.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the roller device 1 includes a lifting structure 10 and a connecting structure 9. The connecting structure 9 is disposed on the base plate 8, and one end of the lifting structure 10 is fixed to the connecting structure 9, while the other end extends into the connecting structure 9 and moves with the connecting structure 9. The lifting structure 10 can move vertically along a straight line perpendicular to the adhesive surface of the workpiece.

[0039] Specifically, the roller device 1 features a more refined and complex design, incorporating two core components: a lifting structure 10 and a connecting structure 9. The lifting structure 10 allows the rolling element 2 to move precisely in a straight line perpendicular to the adhesive surface of the workpiece. This feature greatly enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the adhesive application process, easily handling workpieces of varying thicknesses and shapes. The connecting structure 9 acts as a crucial link, ensuring a stable connection between the lifting structure 10 and the base plate 8, and achieving precise control of the lifting motion through a sophisticated transmission mechanism. This design not only improves the accuracy and stability of the adhesive application but also ensures the equipment maintains excellent performance over long-term use. Furthermore, the close cooperation between the lifting structure 10 and the connecting structure 9 optimizes the spatial layout of the equipment, making the entire adhesive application process more compact and efficient. This is significant for improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, the lifting structure 10 includes a support member 11 and a lifting member 13. The support member 11 has a rotating cavity 12, and the rolling member 2 is rotatably connected to the rotating cavity 12.

[0041] Viewed along the lifting direction perpendicular to the lifting structure 10, the bearing member 11 is located inside the connecting structure 9, one end of the lifting member 13 is fixedly connected to the connecting structure 9, and the other end extends into the connecting structure 9 and is connected to the bearing member 11 in a transmission manner.

[0042] The lifting member 13 can drive the bearing member 11 to slide toward or away from the adhesive surface of the workpiece.

[0043] Specifically, the carrier component 11 is ingeniously designed. Its internal rotating cavity 12 provides a stable rotational environment for the rolling component 2, ensuring that the rolling component 2 maintains a smooth rotational state during lifting, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of adhesive application. The transmission connection between the lifting component 13 and the connecting structure 9 is more precise and reliable. Through an advanced transmission mechanism, precise control of the lifting action is achieved. This design not only improves the accuracy and stability of adhesive application but also makes the equipment more capable and confident in handling complex adhesive application tasks. In addition, the optimized design of the lifting structure 10 and the connecting structure 9 enhances the durability and maintainability of the equipment, reduces the equipment failure rate and maintenance costs, and provides a strong guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the adhesive application equipment.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the propulsion device 3 further includes a slider, one end of which is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 5, and the other end is slidably connected to the slide rail 4.

[0045] Specifically, a slider design was added to the propulsion device 3, which makes the movement of the pressure table 5 on the slide rail 4 smoother and more stable. The tight fit between the slider and the slide rail 4 reduces vibration and errors during the adhesive application process, improving the accuracy and consistency of the adhesive application. At the same time, the slider design also enhances the load-bearing capacity and stability of the pressure table 5, enabling the equipment to handle larger and heavier workpieces. Furthermore, the lubrication mechanism between the slider and the slide rail 4 reduces frictional resistance during the adhesive application process, improving the equipment's operating efficiency and lifespan. This design not only improves the overall performance of the adhesive application equipment but also provides strong support for continuous improvement in adhesive application quality.

[0046] In one specific embodiment, the propulsion device 3 further includes a pushing structure 15, one end of which is fixedly connected to the base plate 8 and the other end is movably connected to the pressure platform 5. The pushing structure 15 can push the pressure platform 5 so that the pressure platform 5 slides on the slide rail 4.

[0047] Specifically, the propulsion device 3 incorporates a propulsion structure 15, an innovation that automates the movement of the pressure platform 5. One end of the propulsion structure 15 is fixedly connected to the base plate 8, while the other end is movably connected to the pressure platform 5. An advanced transmission mechanism enables smooth sliding of the pressure platform 5. This design not only reduces the tediousness and errors of manual operation but also improves the efficiency and consistency of adhesive application. Furthermore, the introduction of the propulsion structure 15 allows the equipment to handle more complex and diverse adhesive application tasks, enhancing its flexibility and adaptability. In addition, the robust connection between the propulsion structure 15 and the base plate 8 ensures the stability and safety of the adhesive application process, providing a strong guarantee for the continuous improvement of adhesive application quality.

[0048] In one specific embodiment, the pushing structure 15 further includes a fixing member 16 and a pushing member 17, wherein the fixing member 16 is fixed to the base plate 8 and is connected to the pushing member 17 in a transmission manner;

[0049] Along the length of the slide rail 4, the pusher 17 can slide away from the fixing member 16 to drive the pressure platform 5 to slide.

[0050] Specifically, the fastener 16 is designed to be robust and reliable, firmly securing itself to the base plate 8 and providing solid support for the pusher 17. The pusher 17 is connected to the fastener 16 via a precise transmission mechanism, enabling smooth sliding and precise positioning of the pressure platform 5. This design not only improves the accuracy and stability of adhesive application but also ensures the equipment maintains good performance during long-term use. Furthermore, the close cooperation between the fastener 16 and the pusher 17 optimizes the spatial layout and transmission efficiency of the equipment, improving its overall performance and operating efficiency.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, the control drive 7 includes a starter platform 18, which is electrically connected to the pusher 17 and the lifting member 13. The starter platform 18 can sequentially drive the lifting member 13 to descend to be flush with the adhesive surface of the workpiece, and drive the pusher 17 to slide along the length direction of the slide rail 4 toward the rolling member 2 to complete the adhesive application.

[0052] Specifically, the starting platform 18, as the core component of the control drive 7, is electrically connected to both the pushing component 17 and the lifting component 13, enabling precise control over their action sequence and timing. When the starting platform 18 receives an adhesive application command, it first drives the lifting component 13 to descend until it is flush with the adhesive application surface of the workpiece. Then, it drives the pushing component 17 to slide along the length of the slide rail 4 towards the rolling component 2, completing the adhesive application action. This process is not only highly efficient and automated but also significantly reduces errors and time costs associated with manual operation, improving the consistency and quality of adhesive application. Furthermore, the introduction of the control drive 7 enables the equipment to handle more complex and diverse adhesive application tasks, enhancing its flexibility and adaptability.

[0053] In one specific embodiment, the control drive 7 further includes a light sensing structure 19, which is disposed on the lifting member 13 and electrically connected to the starter platform 18. The light sensing structure 19 can sense the distance between the rolling member 2 and the adhesive surface of the workpiece. When the rolling member 2 reaches the minimum distance from the adhesive surface of the workpiece, the light sensing structure drives the lifting member 13 to stop descending.

[0054] Specifically, the photosensitive structure 19 is mounted on the lifting member 13 and electrically connected to the starting platform 18, enabling precise sensing of the distance between the rolling member 2 and the adhesive-coated surface of the workpiece. When the rolling member 2 approaches the workpiece surface, the photosensitive structure immediately sends a signal to the starting platform 18, driving the lifting member 13 to stop descending, thereby avoiding collision and damage between the rolling member 2 and the workpiece. This design not only improves the accuracy and safety of adhesive application but also makes the equipment more capable and confident in handling workpieces of different thicknesses and shapes. Furthermore, the close cooperation between the photosensitive structure 19 and the starting platform 18 optimizes the equipment's control logic and response speed, improving the smoothness and efficiency of the adhesive application process.

[0055] In one specific embodiment, the pressure-bearing platform 5 is made of stainless steel.

[0056] Specifically, the pressure platform 5 is made of stainless steel, a change that positively impacts the overall performance and durability of the equipment. Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion and wear resistance, protecting against chemical corrosion and mechanical wear that may occur during the adhesive application process, thus extending the service life of the pressure platform 5. Simultaneously, stainless steel also possesses good thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, allowing the pressure platform 5 to maintain a stable shape and size when bearing heavy loads, improving the accuracy and consistency of the adhesive application. Furthermore, the aesthetic appeal and ease of cleaning of stainless steel enhance the overall image and user experience of the adhesive application equipment. This design not only improves the practicality and durability of the adhesive application equipment but also provides strong support for continuous improvement in adhesive application quality.

[0057] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of this application, but these improvements all fall within the protection scope of this application.
