Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of dispensing and locking equipment technology, and more particularly to a dispensing and locking device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, the assembly of small workpieces with screws is usually done manually. For example, in the production of mobile phone buttons, installers need to apply adhesive to the assembly groove in the button and then tighten the screw into the groove. However, manual assembly has problems such as difficult operation, low production efficiency, and low assembly accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a dispensing and fastening device to improve the technical problems of difficult dispensing and fastening and poor production efficiency in the assembly of existing workpieces and screws.

[0004] One embodiment of this application provides an adhesive fastening device. The adhesive fastening device is used to attach screws to a product having an assembly slot. The adhesive fastening device includes a conveying mechanism, a dispensing mechanism, and a fastening mechanism. The conveying mechanism includes a first fixture, a second fixture, and a conveying assembly. Both the first and second fixtures are connected to the conveying assembly and are spaced apart along a first direction. The first and second fixtures are configured to carry the product. The conveying assembly is configured to drive the first and second fixtures to move alternately back and forth along a second direction, which intersects the first direction. The dispensing mechanism includes a dispensing component and a first driving component. The dispensing component is connected to the first driving component, which is configured to drive the dispensing component to move opposite the first fixture or opposite the second fixture, so that the dispensing component can inject adhesive into the corresponding assembly slot in the product along a third direction, which intersects the first and second directions. The fastening mechanism includes a fastening component and a second driving component. The locking assembly is connected to a second drive assembly, which is configured to move the locking assembly to a position opposite to the first fixture or the second fixture, so that the locking assembly can lock the screw into the mounting slot in the corresponding product along a third direction.

[0005] In the aforementioned dispensing and fastening device, the conveying assembly drives the first and second fixtures to reciprocate alternately along a second direction to convey the product. Simultaneously, the dispensing mechanism injects adhesive into the assembly slot of the product in the corresponding fixture (specifically, the first and second fixtures), and the fastening mechanism fastens the screw to the assembly slot of the product in the corresponding fixture, thereby achieving assembly between the screw and the product. Compared to traditional manual assembly, the dispensing and fastening device provided in this application, through the cooperation of the conveying mechanism, dispensing mechanism, and fastening mechanism, can not only achieve automatic dispensing and fastening, but also achieve alternating product conveying, improving production efficiency. Furthermore, by integrating the dispensing and screw fastening processes into one device, it is beneficial to reduce space occupation and improve space utilization.

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, the conveying assembly has a first station and a second station spaced apart along a second direction, with the dispensing mechanism located at the first station and the fastening mechanism located at the second station. The conveying assembly is configured to drive a first fixture to move to the first station or the second station, and to drive a second fixture to move to the first station or the second station. By placing the dispensing mechanism and the fastening mechanism at different stations (specifically the first station and the second station), the risk of motion interference between the dispensing mechanism and the fastening mechanism is reduced, ensuring the stable operation of the dispensing and fastening device.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the dispensing assembly includes a glue reservoir and a dispensing component. The glue reservoir is mounted on a first drive assembly and configured to store glue. The dispensing component is connected to and communicates with the interior of the glue reservoir. The dispensing component is configured to inject the glue from the glue reservoir into an assembly slot in a corresponding product.

[0008] By cooperating with the glue storage component and the glue dispensing component, glue can be dispensed into the assembly slot of the product. Specifically, when the glue dispensing component moves to be opposite to the first fixture or the second fixture, the glue dispensing component pours the glue from the glue storage component into the corresponding assembly slot of the product.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the dispensing assembly further includes a liquid level sensor, which is installed inside the glue reservoir and configured to monitor the level of glue in the reservoir tube. By setting up the liquid level sensor, real-time monitoring of the glue level in the reservoir can be achieved, allowing production and installation personnel to replenish glue in a timely manner, reducing the risk of blind dispensing (specifically, no glue being poured into the product's assembly tank).

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the dispensing assembly further includes a flow meter, which is installed on the dispensing component and configured to monitor the glue flow rate in the dispensing component. By using a flow meter, the glue flow rate in the dispensing component can be monitored, which helps reduce the risk of excessive or insufficient dispensing and improves the dispensing accuracy of the dispensing and fastening device.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the locking assembly includes a rotary motor and a gripper. The rotary motor is connected to a second drive assembly, and the gripper is mounted on the output end of the rotary motor. The gripper is configured to grip or release a screw. The rotary motor is configured to drive the screw to rotate when the screw is received in the mounting slot, so that the screw and the product are interlocked. Through the cooperation of the rotary motor and the gripper, the gripping of the screw and the locking of the screw into the mounting slot of the product can be achieved.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the gripper includes multiple clamping portions distributed around the rotation axis of the rotary motor. The clamping portions are configured to retract towards the rotation axis of the rotary motor to clamp the screw, and to open away from the rotation axis of the rotary motor to release the screw. By employing a clamping method, the gripper helps reduce damage to the screw and improve product yield; secondly, it is suitable for various screw structures, improving the compatibility of the dispensing and fastening device.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the locking assembly further includes a flexible coupling, one end of which is connected to a rotary motor, and the other end is connected to the gripper. The flexible coupling helps reduce the impact force generated by the gripper during operation, thus extending the overall service life of the dispensing locking device.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the dispensing mechanism further includes a vision positioning component, which is mounted on the dispensing component or the first driving component. The vision positioning component is configured to acquire position information of the assembly slot of the product in the first or second fixture, so that the first driving component can move the dispensing component to a position relative to the assembly slot in the corresponding product based on the position information. By setting up the vision positioning component, precise positioning of the assembly slot in the product can be achieved, improving the dispensing accuracy of the dispensing component.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the dispensing and fastening device further includes a feeding mechanism located around the fastening mechanism. The feeding mechanism is configured to deliver screws for the fastening mechanism to grasp. By providing the feeding mechanism, automatic screw supply can be achieved, eliminating the need for manual operation by production and installation personnel. This helps improve the automation level of the dispensing and fastening device and further enhances production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further illustrate this application. Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0028] This application provides an adhesive dispensing and fastening device. The adhesive dispensing and fastening device is used to attach screws to a product having an assembly slot. The adhesive dispensing and fastening device includes a conveying mechanism, a dispensing mechanism, and a fastening mechanism. The conveying mechanism includes a first fixture, a second fixture, and a conveying assembly. Both the first and second fixtures are connected to the conveying assembly and are spaced apart along a first direction. The first and second fixtures are configured to carry the product. The conveying assembly is configured to drive the first and second fixtures to move alternately back and forth along a second direction, which intersects the first direction. The dispensing mechanism includes a dispensing component and a first drive component. The dispensing component is connected to the first drive component, which is configured to drive the dispensing component to move opposite the first fixture or opposite the second fixture, so that the dispensing component can inject adhesive into the corresponding assembly slot in the product along a third direction, which intersects the first and second directions. The fastening mechanism includes a fastening component and a second drive component. The locking assembly is connected to a second drive assembly, which is configured to move the locking assembly to a position opposite to the first fixture or the second fixture, so that the locking assembly can lock the screw into the mounting slot in the corresponding product along a third direction.

[0029] In the aforementioned dispensing and fastening device, the conveying assembly drives the first and second fixtures to reciprocate alternately along a second direction to convey the product. Simultaneously, the dispensing mechanism injects adhesive into the assembly slot of the product in the corresponding fixture (specifically, the first and second fixtures), and the fastening mechanism fastens the screw to the assembly slot of the product in the corresponding fixture, thereby achieving assembly between the screw and the product. Compared to traditional manual assembly, the dispensing and fastening device provided in this application, through the cooperation of the conveying mechanism, dispensing mechanism, and fastening mechanism, can not only achieve automatic dispensing and fastening, but also achieve alternating product conveying, improving production efficiency. Furthermore, by integrating the dispensing and screw fastening processes into one device, it is beneficial to reduce space occupation and improve space utilization.

[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] In this embodiment, a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction are defined to intersect each other. The first direction is the direction parallel to X in the diagram, the second direction is the direction parallel to Y in the diagram, and the third direction is the direction parallel to Z in the diagram. For ease of reference to the diagram, the first direction will be referred to as "first direction X", the second direction as "second direction Y", and the third direction as "third direction Z" in the following text.

[0032] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2One embodiment of this application provides a dispensing and fastening device 100. The dispensing and fastening device 100 is used to install a screw 300 onto a product 200, the product 200 having an assembly groove 210 in which the screw 300 is installed.

[0033] For example, product 200 is a mobile phone button. The mobile phone button has a mounting groove 210, and a threaded post 220 protrudes from the mounting groove 210. The threaded post 220 is used to lock into a screw 300. In other embodiments, product 200 can also be other items that require adhesive application and screw 300 fastening. This application does not limit the scope of application, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0034] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the dispensing and locking device 100 includes a conveying mechanism 10, a dispensing mechanism 20, and a locking mechanism 30. The conveying mechanism 10 includes a first fixture 11, a second fixture 12, and a conveying assembly 13. Both the first fixture 11 and the second fixture 12 are connected to the conveying assembly 13 and are spaced apart along a first direction X. The first fixture 11 and the second fixture 12 are configured to carry the product 200, and the conveying assembly 13 is configured to drive the first fixture 11 and the second fixture 12 to move alternately back and forth along a second direction Y.

[0035] For example, in the initial state, both the first fixture 11 and the second fixture 12 are located at the end of the conveying assembly 13, and neither is moving relative to the other. Production personnel load product 200 onto the first fixture 11, and the conveying assembly 13 drives the first fixture 11 to move along the second direction Y to the dispensing mechanism 20 and the fastening mechanism 30 for dispensing and screw fastening. While the conveying assembly 13 is moving the first fixture 11, production personnel load new product 200 onto the second fixture 12.

[0036] After the product 200 in the first fixture 11 has completed dispensing and screw 300 fastening, the conveying assembly 13 drives the first fixture 11 back to its initial position (specifically, the end position of the conveying assembly 13). At this time, the conveying assembly 13 drives the second fixture 12 to move along the second direction Y to the dispensing mechanism 20 and the fastening mechanism 30 to perform the dispensing process and the screw 300 fastening process.

[0037] After the first fixture 11 moves to its initial position, the production and installation personnel unload the product 200 equipped with screws 300 from the first fixture 11 and reload the new product 200 into the first fixture 11. After the product 200 in the second fixture 12 has completed the dispensing of glue and the fastening of screws 300, the conveying assembly 13 drives the second fixture 12 back to its initial position.

[0038] At this time, the conveying assembly 13 again drives the first fixture 11 to move along the second direction Y to the dispensing mechanism 20 and the fastening mechanism 30 to perform the dispensing process and the screw 300 fastening process. The first fixture 11 and the second fixture 12 alternately convey the product 200 to perform the dispensing process and the screw 300 fastening process, repeating the cycle.

[0039] By cooperating with the first fixture 11 and the second fixture 12, the conveying mechanism 10 can alternately convey the product 200, which helps to improve the production efficiency of the dispensing and locking device 100.

[0040] In some embodiments, both the first fixture 11 and the second fixture 12 are provided with a plurality of receiving slots (not shown) for accommodating products 200, and the plurality of receiving slots are distributed in an array. By providing a plurality of receiving slots in the first fixture 11 and the second fixture 12, the dispensing and fastening device 100 can dispense and fasten screws 300 onto multiple products 200 at one time, which is beneficial to improve production efficiency.

[0041] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the dispensing mechanism 20 includes a dispensing assembly 21 and a first drive assembly 22. The dispensing assembly 21 is connected to the first drive assembly 22, which is configured to drive the dispensing assembly 21 to move opposite to a first fixture 11 or opposite to a second fixture 12, so that the dispensing assembly 21 can inject adhesive into the assembly slot 210 of the corresponding product 200 along a third direction Z.

[0042] It should be noted that the dispensing assembly 21 is opposite to the first fixture 11, specifically meaning that the projection of the dispensing assembly 21 in the third direction Z coincides with the assembly slot 210 of the product 200 in the first fixture 11. The dispensing assembly 21 is opposite to the second fixture 12, specifically meaning that the projection of the dispensing assembly 21 in the third direction Z coincides with the assembly slot 210 of the product 200 in the second fixture 12.

[0043] For example, when the conveying component 13 drives the first fixture 11 to move along the second direction Y to the dispensing mechanism 20, the first driving component 22 drives the dispensing component 21 to move opposite to the first fixture 11. At this time, the dispensing component 21 injects glue into the assembly groove 210 of the product 200 in the first fixture 11 along the third direction Z, that is, the dispensing process is realized.

[0044] It is worth noting that the movement process of the second fixture 12 is similar to that of the first fixture 11, and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 30 includes a locking component 31 and a second drive component 32. The locking component 31 is connected to the second drive component 32, which is configured to drive the locking component 31 to move opposite to the first fixture 11 or opposite to the second fixture 12, so that the locking component 31 can lock the screw 300 into the mounting slot 210 in the corresponding product 200 along a third direction Z. It is worth noting that the screw 300 locking specifically refers to the threaded connection between the screw 300 and the threaded post 220 in the mounting slot 210.

[0046] It should also be noted that the locking assembly 31 is opposite to the first fixture 11, specifically meaning that the projection of the locking assembly 31 in the third direction Z coincides with the assembly slot 210 of the product 200 in the first fixture 11. The locking assembly 31 is opposite to the second fixture 12, specifically meaning that the projection of the locking assembly 31 in the third direction Z coincides with the assembly slot 210 of the product 200 in the second fixture 12.

[0047] For example, when the conveying component 13 drives the first fixture 11 to move along the second direction Y to the locking mechanism 30, the second driving component 32 drives the locking component 31 to move opposite to the first fixture 11. At this time, the locking component 31 locks the screw 300 into the assembly slot 210 in the corresponding product 200 along the third direction Z, that is, the screw 300 locking process is realized.

[0048] It is worth noting that the movement process of the second fixture 12 is similar to that of the first fixture 11, and will not be described in detail here.

[0049] By coordinating the conveying mechanism 10, the dispensing mechanism 20, and the fastening mechanism 30, automatic dispensing and fastening of screws 300 can be achieved, eliminating the need for manual operation by production and installation personnel and reducing the assembly difficulty between product 200 and screws 300. Furthermore, since the dispensing and screw fastening processes are integrated into a single device, production and installation personnel do not need to deploy multiple pieces of equipment, which helps reduce space occupation and improve space utilization.

[0050] It should be noted that when the number of products 200 loaded in the fixture (specifically referring to the first fixture 11 and the second fixture 12) is multiple, the first drive component 22 can drive the dispensing component 21 to move, so that the dispensing component 21 sequentially dispenses glue to the assembly slot 210 of each product 200 in the fixture. The second drive component 32 can drive the locking component 31 to move, so that the locking component 31 sequentially performs a screw 300 locking operation on the assembly slot 210 of each product 200 in the fixture.

[0051] Compared to traditional manual assembly methods, the dispensing and fastening device 100 provided in this application can not only automatically dispense and fasten the glue and screws 300, but also alternately convey the products 200, improving production efficiency. Furthermore, by integrating the dispensing process and the screw fastening process into one device, it helps reduce space occupation and improve space utilization.

[0052] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, there are two locking components 31, one of which is opposite to the movement path of the first fixture 11, and the other is opposite to the movement path of the second fixture 12. In other words, one of the two locking components 31 independently performs the screw 300 locking operation on the product 200 in the first fixture 11, and the other of the two locking components 31 independently performs the screw 300 locking operation on the product 200 in the second fixture 12.

[0053] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 13 has a first station 131 and a second station 132 spaced apart along a second direction Y, with the dispensing mechanism 20 located at the first station 131 and the locking mechanism 30 located at the second station 132. The conveying assembly 13 is configured to drive the first fixture 11 to move to the first station 131 or the second station 132, and to drive the second fixture 12 to move to the first station 131 or the second station 132.

[0054] By setting the dispensing mechanism 20 and the locking mechanism 30 at different stations (specifically, the first station 131 and the second station 132), it is beneficial to reduce the risk of motion interference between the dispensing mechanism 20 and the locking mechanism 30, and ensure the stable operation of the dispensing and locking device 100.

[0055] Understandably, after the production and installation personnel load the product 200 onto the first fixture 11, the conveying component 13 drives the first fixture 11 to move along the second direction Y to the first station 131. At this time, the first drive component 22 drives the dispensing component 21 to move opposite to the first fixture 11 and injects glue into the assembly slot 210 of the product 200 in the first fixture 11 along the third direction Z, thus realizing the dispensing process.

[0056] After the dispensing is completed, the conveying assembly 13 drives the first fixture 11 to move along the second direction Y to the second station 132. At this time, the second drive assembly 32 drives the locking assembly 31 to move opposite the first fixture 11 and locks the screw 300 into the assembly slot 210 in the corresponding product 200 along the third direction Z, thus realizing the screw 300 locking process.

[0057] It should be noted that the second fixture 12 operates in the same manner as the first fixture 11, so this application will not elaborate on it here.

[0058] In other embodiments, the locking mechanism 30 may be installed at the first station 131 and the dispensing mechanism 20 at the second station 132. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation. In other words, the dispensing and locking device 100 provided in this application can perform the dispensing process first and then the screw 300 locking process; or it can perform the screw 300 locking process first and then the dispensing process. This application does not limit the order of the above processes (specifically the dispensing process and the screw 300 locking process), and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0059] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the dispensing assembly 21 includes a glue reservoir 211 and a dispensing component 212. The glue reservoir 211 is mounted on the first drive assembly 22 and configured to store glue. The dispensing component 212 is connected to and communicates with the interior of the glue reservoir 211. The dispensing component 212 is configured to fill the glue in the glue reservoir 211 into the assembly slot 210 of the corresponding product 200.

[0060] Understandably, when the first fixture 11 or the second fixture 12 moves to the first station 131, the first drive component 22 drives the dispensing component 21 to move to be opposite to the first fixture 11 or opposite to the second fixture 12, and the dispensing component 212 pours the glue in the glue storage component 211 into the assembly groove 210 in the corresponding product 200, that is, to realize the dispensing treatment of the assembly groove 210 in the product 200.

[0061] In some embodiments, the dispensing assembly 21 further includes a liquid sensor (not shown). The liquid level sensor is installed inside the glue reservoir 211 and configured to monitor the level of glue in the reservoir tube. By setting up the liquid level sensor, real-time monitoring of the glue level in the glue reservoir 211 can be achieved. Production and installation personnel can replenish glue in the glue reservoir 211 in a timely manner, reducing the risk of blind dispensing (specifically, no glue being poured into the assembly tank 210 of the product 200) in the dispensing component 212.

[0062] For example, the alarm height is set at 1mm. When the level sensor detects that the glue level inside the glue reservoir 211 has dropped to 0.9mm, the level sensor issues an alarm. At this time, the production and installation personnel replenish the glue in the glue reservoir 211.

[0063] In some embodiments, the dispensing assembly 21 further includes a flow meter (not shown), which is mounted on the dispensing part 212 and configured to monitor the glue flow rate in the dispensing part 212. By using the flow meter, the glue flow rate in the dispensing part 212 can be monitored, which helps reduce the risk of excessive glue dispensing leading to glue overflow during subsequent screw fastening and improves the dispensing accuracy of the dispensing and fastening device 100.

[0064] Understandably, during the glue injection process of the glue injection part 212, the flow meter monitors the glue flow rate through the glue injection part 212 in real time. When the flow meter detects that the glue flow rate through the glue injection part 212 is too high, the production and installation personnel can reduce the flow rate of the glue in the glue injection part 212; conversely, the production and installation personnel can increase the flow rate of the glue in the glue injection part 212.

[0065] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the locking assembly 31 includes a rotary motor 311 and a gripper 312. The rotary motor 311 is connected to a second drive assembly 32, and the gripper 312 is mounted on the output end of the rotary motor 311. The gripper 312 is configured to grip or release the screw 300. The rotary motor 311 is configured to drive the screw 300 to rotate when the screw 300 is received in the mounting slot 210, so that the screw 300 is interlocked with the product 200.

[0066] Understandably, when the first fixture 11 (or the second fixture 12) moves to the second station 132, the second drive assembly 32 drives the rotary motor 311 and the gripper 312 to move and clamp the screw 300. After the gripper 312 clamps the screw 300, the second drive assembly 32 drives the rotary motor 311 and the gripper 312 to move opposite to the first fixture 11 (or opposite to the second fixture 12), and places the screw 300 in the assembly slot 210 of the corresponding product 200.

[0067] Subsequently, the rotary motor 311 drives the gripper 312 to rotate, locking the screw 300 into the mounting slot of the product 200. After the screw 300 is locked into the product 200, the gripper 312 can release the screw 300.

[0068] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the gripper 312 includes a plurality of clamping portions 3121 distributed around the rotation axis of the rotary motor 311. The plurality of clamping portions 3121 are configured to retract toward the rotation axis of the rotary motor 311 to clamp the screw 300, and to open away from the rotation axis of the rotary motor 311 to release the screw 300.

[0069] The gripper 312 adopts a clamping method, which helps to reduce damage to the screw 300 and improve the yield of the product 200; and it is also suitable for various screw 300 structures, improving the compatibility of the dispensing and locking device 100.

[0070] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the locking assembly 31 further includes a flexible coupling 313, one end of which is connected to the rotary motor 311, and the other end is connected to the gripper 312. The flexible coupling 313 helps to reduce the impact force generated by the gripper 312 during operation, thus extending the overall service life of the dispensing locking device 100.

[0071] Understandably, when the second drive assembly 32 drives the rotary motor 311 and the gripper 312 to move and clamp the screw 300, or when the second drive assembly 32 drives the rotary motor 311 and the gripper 312 to move relative to the first fixture 11 and place the screw 300 in the assembly slot 210 of the corresponding product 200, if the distance moved by the gripper 312 is too large, the gripper 312 can move in the opposite direction of movement under the action of an external component (specifically the bottom of the assembly slot 210 or the component holding the screw 300) to achieve buffering, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the gripper 312.

[0072] Please refer to the following: Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the dispensing mechanism 20 further includes a vision positioning component 23, which is mounted on the dispensing component 21 or the first drive component 22. The vision positioning component 23 is configured to acquire position information of the assembly slot 210 of the product 200 in the first fixture 11 or the second fixture 12, so that the first drive component 22 can move the dispensing component 21 to a position relative to the assembly slot 210 in the corresponding product 200 according to the position information.

[0073] By setting the vision positioning component 23, the assembly slot 210 in the product 200 can be accurately positioned, thereby improving the dispensing accuracy of the dispensing component 21.

[0074] For example, the visual positioning component 23 is a CCD camera. When the first fixture 11 or the second fixture 12 moves to the first station 131, the first drive component 22 drives the dispensing component 21 to move relative to the first fixture 11 or the second fixture 12. At this time, the CCD camera acquires an image of the first fixture 11 or the second fixture 12, and calculates the position information of the assembly slot 210 in the first fixture 11 or the second fixture 12 based on the image.

[0075] Subsequently, the first drive component 22 drives the dispensing component 21 to move to the position opposite to the assembly slot 210 in the corresponding product 200, and the dispensing component 212 injects the glue in the glue storage component 211 into the assembly slot 210 in the corresponding product 200, thereby realizing the dispensing process of the assembly slot 210 in the product 200.

[0076] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the dispensing and fastening device 100 further includes a feeding mechanism 40 located around the fastening mechanism 30. The feeding mechanism 40 is configured to deliver screws 300 for the fastening mechanism 30 to grip. The feeding mechanism 40 enables automatic supply of screws 300, eliminating the need for manual operation by production and installation personnel. This improves the automation level of the dispensing and fastening device 100 and further enhances production efficiency.
