Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glue gun technology, and in particular to an automatic glue gun pneumatic valve needle assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The glue gun is a crucial component in the glue application process, and the valve needle assembly is an even more critical part of it, directly controlling the glue dispensing and shutting off. Currently, the valve needle assemblies in automatic glue guns typically feature an external thread on the top of the valve needle, while the piston has a threaded hole that connects the valve needle and piston. However, this threaded connection can loosen over time, causing the valve needle to shift downwards. This directly affects the glue gun's opening, the amount of glue dispensed, and ultimately, the quality of the glue application. In some cases, the valve needle may even detach from the piston, rendering the glue gun unable to control the glue dispensing.

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model document proposes an automatic glue gun pneumatic valve needle assembly. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides an automatic glue gun pneumatic valve needle assembly, which improves the stability of the connection structure between the piston and the valve needle and ensures the control accuracy of the valve needle.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic glue gun pneumatic valve needle assembly includes a cylinder body and a valve needle. One end face of the cylinder body has a valve chamber and a cylinder cover. The bottom of the valve chamber has a first mounting hole and a vent hole communicating with the other end face. A piston is slidably disposed within the valve chamber. A connecting block is provided on the end face of the piston adjacent to the cylinder cover. A threaded hole is provided on the side of the connecting block. A second mounting hole is provided on the piston along its height direction. A third mounting hole, corresponding to the second mounting hole, is provided on the end face of the connecting block adjacent to the piston. The threaded hole communicates with the third mounting hole. One end of the valve needle passes through the first and second mounting holes and is positioned within the second mounting hole. A positioning bolt is installed within the threaded hole and is pressed against the side wall of the valve needle. A return spring is provided between the piston and the cylinder cover.

[0007] Furthermore, the valve needle sidewall is provided with an annular limiting groove, and the end of the positioning bolt abuts against the limiting groove.

[0008] Furthermore, a guide block is provided on the adjacent surface of the piston and the bottom of the valve chamber, and a guide groove is provided on the bottom surface of the valve chamber corresponding to the guide block to cooperate with the guide block.

[0009] Furthermore, a bushing is provided inside the guide groove, and the guide block is slidably disposed inside the bushing.

[0010] Furthermore, the piston and the cylinder head have a lower positioning groove on their adjacent surfaces, and the cylinder head has an upper positioning groove at the corresponding position. The two ends of the return spring are respectively located in the lower positioning groove and the upper positioning groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the valve cavity is also provided with a mounting positioning hole, which is a countersunk hole.

[0012] Furthermore, threaded holes are symmetrically provided on both sides of the connecting block.

[0013] Furthermore, a shaft plug seal ring is provided in the first mounting hole, and the valve needle passes through the shaft plug seal ring.

[0014] In this invention, the vent hole supplies gas to the valve chamber to increase the air pressure below the piston, pushing the piston upward and locking the end of the valve needle with a transverse positioning bolt. This prevents the valve needle from rotating and causing the positioning bolt to position the valve needle, improving the stability of the connection structure between the piston and the valve needle, ensuring that the valve needle can accurately control the opening of the glue gun, and thus improving the glue coating quality.

[0028] Example:

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an automatic glue gun pneumatic valve needle assembly includes a cylinder body 1 and a valve needle 3. A valve chamber 101 is opened on one end face of the cylinder body 1, and a cylinder head 2 is also provided on this end face. A first mounting hole 102 and a vent hole 103 communicating with the other end face are opened at the bottom of the valve chamber 101. A piston 4 is slidably arranged in the valve chamber 101. A connecting block 5 is provided on the end face of the piston 4 adjacent to the cylinder head 2. A threaded hole 502 is opened on the side of the connecting block 5. A second mounting hole 401 is provided on the piston 4 along the height direction. A third mounting hole 501 corresponding to the second mounting hole 401 is provided on the end face of the connecting block 5 adjacent to the piston 4. The threaded hole 502 is connected to the third mounting hole 501. One end of the valve needle 3 passes through the first mounting hole 102 and the second mounting hole 401 and is located in the second mounting hole 401. A positioning bolt 503 is set in the threaded hole 502. The positioning bolt 503 is pressed against the side wall of the valve needle 3. A return spring 6 is provided between the piston 4 and the cylinder head 2.

[0030] The vent 103 supplies high-pressure gas to the area below the piston 4 inside the valve chamber 101. The gas pressure pushes the piston 4 upward, thereby controlling the movement of the valve needle 3. After passing through the first mounting hole 102 and the second mounting hole 401, the valve needle 3 is locked in the third mounting hole 501. Then, it is locked against the side wall of the valve needle 3 by the positioning bolt 503 in the threaded hole 502 on the side wall of the third mounting hole 501, thereby positioning the valve needle 3. Even if the valve needle 3 rotates, it will not affect the locking and positioning structure of the positioning bolt, effectively improving the stability of the connection structure between the valve needle 3 and the piston 4, and improving the control accuracy of the valve needle 3 on the opening of the glue gun.

[0031] The return spring 6 provides elastic force to the piston 4. When the glue gun needs to be closed, the high-pressure gas supply is stopped, and the piston 4 can move downward under the elastic force of the return spring 6, thereby driving the valve needle 3 to move downward, so that the valve needle 3 closes the glue gun.

[0032] The valve needle 3 has an annular limiting groove 301 on its side wall, and the end of the positioning bolt 503 abuts against the limiting groove 301.

[0033] The limiting groove 301 on the side wall of the valve needle 3 further improves the stability of the connection structure between the valve needle 3 and the piston 4. Even if the positioning bolt 503 becomes loose, the end of the positioning bolt 503 is still in the limiting groove 301, and the connection structure between the piston 4 and the valve needle 3 remains stable.

[0034] A guide block 403 is provided on the adjacent surface of the piston 4 and the bottom of the valve chamber 101, and a guide groove 104 is provided on the bottom surface of the valve chamber 101 at the position corresponding to the guide block 403 to cooperate with the guide block 403.

[0035] By sliding the guide block 403 within the guide groove 104, the stability of the piston 4's movement direction during vertical movement is improved, preventing deflection and thus ensuring the stability of the valve needle 3's movement direction. This ensures that the valve needle 3 can accurately open or close the glue gun.

[0036] A bushing 105 is provided inside the guide groove 104, and the guide block 403 is slidably disposed inside the bushing 105.

[0037] The bushing 105 reduces the friction between the guide block 403 and the guide groove 104, reduces the wear of the guide block 403 during movement, avoids the gap between the guide block 403 and the guide groove 104 from increasing, improves the service life of the guide block 403, and also improves the stability of the movement of the guide block 403.

[0038] The piston 4 and the cylinder head 2 are provided with a lower positioning groove 402 on their adjacent surfaces, and the cylinder head 2 is provided with an upper positioning groove 201 at the corresponding position. The two ends of the return spring 6 are respectively located in the lower positioning groove 402 and the upper positioning groove 201.

[0039] The upper positioning groove 201 and the lower positioning groove 402 are used to position the two ends of the return spring 6, thereby improving the stability of the position of the two ends of the return spring 6 and preventing the position of the return spring 6 from changing when the piston 4 moves and squeezes it. This ensures that the return spring 6 can exert a spring force on the piston 4, and when the gas supply stops, it can push the piston 4 back to the initial position, ensuring that the valve needle 3 can close the glue gun.

[0040] The bottom surface of the valve cavity 101 is also provided with a mounting positioning hole 107, which is a countersunk hole.

[0041] The mounting positioning hole 107 facilitates the assembly of the cylinder body 1 with other components of the glue gun. The mounting positioning hole 107 is set as a countersunk hole to prevent the bolts from affecting the movement of the piston 4 and to prevent the bolts from damaging the end face of the piston 4, thus affecting the service life of the piston 4.

[0042] The connecting block 5 has threaded holes 502 symmetrically arranged on both sides.

[0043] By setting two threaded holes 502, the stability of fixing the valve needle 3 is improved. The valve needle 3 is locked and fixed by the positioning bolts 503 in the two threaded holes 502. On the one hand, the stability of the connection between the valve needle 3 and the piston 4 is further improved, and on the other hand, the uniformity of the force on the valve needle 3 is improved, ensuring the stability of the movement direction of the valve needle 3.

[0044] The first mounting hole 102 is provided with a shaft plug seal 106, and the valve needle 3 passes through the shaft plug seal 106.

[0045] By setting a shaft plug seal ring 106 on the valve needle 3, the sealing performance of the valve needle 3 and the first mounting hole 102 is improved. On the one hand, it prevents gas from leaking from the connection, which would prevent the gas delivered by the vent hole 103 from pushing the piston 4 to move. On the other hand, it also prevents the glue in the glue gun from entering the valve chamber 101 and affecting the normal movement of the piston 4.

[0046] In use, the cylinder body 1 is installed on the stator assembly of the glue gun by using countersunk bolts to install positioning holes 107. The piston 4 is placed in the valve chamber 101. Then, the top end of the valve needle 3 passes through the first mounting hole 102 and the second mounting hole 401 and is locked in the third mounting hole 501. Then, the positioning bolt 503 is locked in the limiting groove 301 at the end of the valve needle 3, so that the valve needle 3 is connected to the piston 4. The return spring 6 is placed in the lower positioning groove 402 on the piston 4. Finally, the cylinder head 2 is installed on the cylinder body 1.

[0047] When using the glue gun, high-pressure gas is delivered from the vent 103 to the valve chamber 101 through the external air supply line, pushing the piston 4 upward and compressing the return spring 6. As the piston 4 moves, it also drives the valve needle 3 upward, opening the glue supply line of the glue gun for glue application. After the glue application is completed, it is necessary to close the glue supply line of the glue gun. This stops the delivery of high-pressure gas, and the piston 4 is no longer pushed by the gas. At the same time, under the elastic force of the return spring 6, the piston 4 moves downward to the initial position, simultaneously driving the valve needle 3 back to the initial position and closing the glue supply line of the glue gun.

[0048] The valve needle 3 is locked and fixed at the end by two positioning bolts 503. Rotation of the valve needle 3 will not affect the connection structure between the valve needle 3 and the piston 4, thus improving the stability of the connection between the valve needle 3 and the piston 4.

[0049] In practical use, the positioning bolt 503 is a set screw, which can prevent the positioning bolt 503 from loosening and further improve the stability of the connection between the valve needle 3 and the piston 4.

[0050] The piston 4 and the connecting block 5 are integrated into one image, which not only ensures the strength of the connection structure between the piston 4 and the connecting block 5, but also facilitates processing.

[0051] The piston 4 is provided with a guide ring and a sealing ring on its side wall. The sealing ring improves the sealing between the piston 4 and the inner wall of the valve chamber 101, ensuring the normal movement of the piston 4. The guide ring acts as a support and guide wire, preventing the piston 4 from directly contacting and rubbing against the inner wall of the valve chamber 101 during movement, thus protecting the piston 4 and the cylinder body 1 from damage.

[0052] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
