[0002] In related technologies, the design of the adhesive application device is unreasonable, making it difficult to flexibly adjust the width of the sprayed adhesive. This results in the adhesive application device being unable to adapt to the adhesive application needs of different parts. For example, in the adhesive application work on the underside of the vehicle body, the adhesive application device cannot adapt to the adhesive application needs of different parts of the underside of the vehicle body. This leads to the need to frequently start and stop the adhesive application device to change the nozzle, which seriously affects the spraying efficiency. Moreover, frequent start and stop can easily damage the adhesive application device and affect its service life. Utility Model Content

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0024] The following is for reference. Figures 1-2 Describes an adhesive applicator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the adhesive applicator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a nozzle 10 and an adjustment component 20.

[0026] The nozzle 10 defines a receiving space, and the shell wall of the nozzle 10 has a nozzle hole 12, which communicates with the receiving space; part of the structure of the adjustment component 20 is located in the receiving space, and the adjustment component 20 is movably connected to the nozzle 10 so that the relative position of the adjustment component 20 and the nozzle hole 12 located in the receiving space is adjustable.

[0027] The adhesive applicator 100 proposed in this application can be applied to, but is not limited to, adhesive application on the chassis of a vehicle. This application illustrates the application of the adhesive applicator 100 to the chassis of a vehicle.

[0028] The nozzle 10 defines a receiving space, and the shell wall of the nozzle 10 has a nozzle hole 12. As some embodiments of this application, the nozzle hole 12 can be constructed in a shape similar to a "rectangular" shape. The nozzle hole 12 is connected to the receiving space, and the nozzle 10 can spray out the colloid through the nozzle hole 12. The nozzle hole 12 can make the sprayed shape more regular.

[0029] A portion of the structure of the adjusting component 20 is located within the receiving space. This can be understood as a partial structure of the adjusting component 20 being located within the receiving space, while another portion is located outside the receiving space. The adjusting component 20 is movably connected to the nozzle 10. This movable connection can be, but is not limited to, threaded connection or snap-fit. In some embodiments of this application, the adjusting component 20 and the nozzle 10 are movably connected via a threaded connection, allowing the relative position of the adjusting component 20 within the receiving space and the nozzle orifice 12 to be adjustable. In some embodiments of this application, the relative position of the adjusting component 20 within the receiving space and the nozzle orifice 12 can be adjusted by manipulating the adjusting component 20 located outside the receiving space.

[0030] It should be noted that by making the relative position of the adjustment component 20 located in the accommodating space and the nozzle orifice 12 adjustable, the overlapping area of ​​the orthogonal projection of the nozzle orifice 12 and the adjustment component 20 along the axial direction of the nozzle 10 can be adjusted. In other words, the opening of the nozzle orifice 12 can be flexibly adjusted by the adjustment component 20 to adjust the size of the adhesive sprayed by the adhesive applicator 100. This allows for precise adjustment of the width of the adhesive sprayed by the nozzle orifice 12, enabling the adhesive applicator 100 to accurately adapt to the adhesive application requirements of different parts, which is beneficial to improving spraying efficiency. Furthermore, it is understandable that if the opening of the nozzle orifice 12 is not adjustable, the glue applicator 100 needs to be frequently started and stopped to replace the nozzle 10 with nozzles 12 of different sizes. Starting and stopping the glue applicator 100 requires starting and stopping the solenoid valve built into the glue applicator 100, which significantly increases the maintenance cost of the solenoid valve built into the glue applicator 100 and is also prone to damage to the solenoid valve or other components. However, by making the relative position of the adjusting component 20 located in the receiving space and the nozzle orifice 12 adjustable, the relative position of the adjusting component 20 and the nozzle orifice 12 can be adjusted to adjust the opening of the nozzle orifice 12, eliminating the need for frequent starting and stopping of the glue applicator 100. This helps to reduce the maintenance cost of the solenoid valve built into the glue applicator 100 and also helps to reduce the risk of damage to the solenoid valve or other components.

[0031] Therefore, by making the relative position of the adjustment component 20 located in the accommodating space and the nozzle hole 12 adjustable, the opening of the nozzle hole 12 can be flexibly adjusted, enabling the glue application device 100 to accurately adapt to the glue application needs of different parts, which is beneficial to improving the spraying efficiency. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for frequent start-stop of the glue application device 100, which helps to extend the service life of the glue application device 100.

[0032] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the adjustment assembly 20 includes an adjustment member 21 and an operating member 22. The adjustment member 21 and the operating member 22 are fitted together and located within the receiving space. The operating member 22 can drive the adjustment member 21 to move so that the relative position of the adjustment member 21 and the nozzle orifice 12 is adjustable.

[0033] The adjusting member 21 and the operating member 22 are connected. The connection method between the adjusting member 21 and the operating member 22 can be, but is not limited to, bolt connection, snap-fit, etc. In some embodiments of this application, the adjusting member 21 and the operating member 22 are connected by a snap-fit ​​method. In some embodiments of this application, the adjusting member 21 and the operating member 22 are integrally formed. The adjusting member 21 is located within the receiving space, a portion of the operating member 22 is located within the receiving space, and another portion of the operating member 22 is located outside the receiving space. The operating member 22 can drive the adjusting member 21 to move, so that the relative position of the adjusting member 21 and the nozzle orifice 12 is adjustable. In some embodiments of this application, the adjusting member 21 can be driven to move by manipulating the operating member 22 located outside the receiving space.

[0034] By assembling the adjusting member 21 and the operating member 22 together and placing them within the receiving space, and by enabling the operating member 22 to drive the adjusting member 21 to move, the relative position of the adjusting member 21 and the nozzle orifice 12 can be adjusted by driving the operating member 22. This allows for flexible adjustment of the opening of the nozzle orifice 12, and the operation is simple. This enables the adhesive applicator 100 to accurately adapt to the adhesive application requirements of different parts, which is beneficial to improving the spraying efficiency.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the adjusting member 21 has a first guide portion 23, and the nozzle 10 has a second guide portion, with the first guide portion 23 and the second guide portion engaging in a guiding cooperation.

[0036] As some embodiments of this application, the first guide portion 23 is constructed as one of a guide protrusion or a guide groove, and the second guide portion is constructed as the other of a guide protrusion or a guide groove. The guide protrusion can cooperate with the guide groove so that the first guide portion 23 and the second guide portion are guided together.

[0037] As some embodiments of this application, the first guide portion 23 is constructed as one of a slider or a slide rail, and the second guide portion is constructed as the other of a slider or a slide rail. The slider can cooperate with the slide rail so that the first guide portion 23 and the second guide portion are guided together.

[0038] This configuration guides the movement of the adjusting member 21, reduces the probability of the adjusting member 21 shifting or deviating when moving within the accommodating space, ensures the precise direction of movement of the adjusting member 21, and improves the reliability of the adjusting assembly 20.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the nozzle 10 has a mating hole 24, and the operating member 22 includes an operating rod 221, which passes through the mating hole 24 and is threadedly engaged with the mating hole 24.

[0040] As some embodiments of this application, the operating rod 221 has an external thread, and the mating hole 24 has an internal thread. The external thread and the internal thread are mated to allow the operating rod 221 to pass through the mating hole 24 and be threadedly engaged with the mating hole 24. By turning the operating rod 221, the length of the operating rod 221 extending into the receiving space can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the relative position of the adjusting member 21 and the nozzle hole 12.

[0041] This configuration allows the operating component 22 to be movably connected to the nozzle 10, so that the adjusting component 21 can be moved by turning the operating component 22, making the relative position of the adjusting component 21 and the nozzle hole 12 adjustable. The operation is simple and the adjustment is convenient, which enables the glue application device 100 to accurately adapt to the glue application needs of different parts, which is beneficial to improving the spraying efficiency. In addition, the threaded fit can improve the firmness of the fit between the operating rod 221 and the mating hole 24, which can reduce the risk of the operating rod 221 falling off, and improve the reliability of the glue application device 100.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the operating lever 221 has a first mating part 25, and the adjusting member 21 has a second mating part 26. One of the first mating parts 25 and the second mating parts 26 is a snap-fit ​​groove, and the other of the first mating parts 25 and the second mating parts 26 is a snap-fit ​​block. The snap-fit ​​block engages with the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0043] The snap-fit ​​block can be shaped as, but is not limited to, annular or rectangular, and the snap-fit ​​groove can be shaped as, but is not limited to, annular or rectangular. Furthermore, the shape of the snap-fit ​​block matches the shape of the snap-fit ​​groove. As some embodiments of this application, the snap-fit ​​block is constructed as annular, and the snap-fit ​​groove is constructed as annular groove.

[0044] As some embodiments of this application, the first mating part 25 is located at the lower end of the operating lever 221 (i.e., the end of the operating lever 221 that extends into the receiving space). The first mating part 25 is constructed as a snap-fit ​​groove, and the second mating part 26 is constructed as a snap-fit ​​block. The snap-fit ​​block engages with the snap-fit ​​groove, thereby fixing the operating lever 221 to the adjusting member 21 so that the operating member 22 can drive the adjusting member 21 to move.

[0045] As some embodiments of this application, the first mating part 25 is located at the lower end of the operating lever 221 (i.e., the end of the operating lever 221 that extends into the receiving space). The first mating part 25 is constructed as a snap-fit ​​block, and the second mating part 26 is constructed as a snap-fit ​​groove. The snap-fit ​​block and the snap-fit ​​groove are snap-fitted together, thereby fixing the operating lever 221 to the adjusting member 21 so that the operating member 22 can drive the adjusting member 21 to move.

[0046] This arrangement ensures a secure connection between the operating lever 221 and the adjusting component 21, which improves the stability of the connection. Furthermore, this arrangement simplifies assembly, reduces the difficulty of assembling the operating lever 221 and the adjusting component 21, and improves the production and installation efficiency of the adhesive applicator 100.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, the snap-fit ​​block is constructed as an annular block, and the snap-fit ​​groove is constructed as an annular groove. The annular block and the annular groove can snap-fit ​​together so that the snap-fit ​​block and the snap-fit ​​groove can be snapped together, thereby enabling the operating rod 221 to be firmly connected to the adjusting member 21.

[0048] This design reduces the assembly difficulty of the operating lever 221 and the adjusting component 21, and also reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the snap-fit ​​block and snap-fit ​​groove, which helps to improve the production and installation efficiency of the adhesive applicator 100. In addition, the reliable fit between the annular block and the annular groove reduces the probability of separation between the operating lever 221 and the adjusting component 21, which helps to improve the reliability of the adjusting assembly 20.

[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the operating component 22 also includes an operating disc 27, which is connected to the operating lever 221, and the diameter of the operating disc 27 is larger than the diameter of the operating lever 221.

[0050] The operating lever 221 has two opposite ends, one end close to the adjusting member 21 and the other end away from the adjusting member 21. The end close to the adjusting member 21 is provided with a first mating part 25, and the end away from the adjusting member 21 is provided with an operating disc 27. The operating disc 27 is connected to the operating lever 221. The connection method between the operating disc 27 and the operating lever 221 can be, but is not limited to, welding, bolt connection, etc. As some embodiments of this application, the operating disc 27 and the operating lever 221 are connected by bolt connection, and the diameter of the operating disc 27 is larger than the diameter of the operating lever 221.

[0051] As some embodiments of this application, the control panel 27 and the control lever 221 are integrally formed.

[0052] By connecting the operating disc 27 to the operating lever 221, and with the diameter of the operating disc 27 being larger than that of the operating lever 221, it is easier to rotate the operating lever 221 via the operating disc 27. This reduces the difficulty of operating the operating lever 221, saves the force required for operation, and facilitates efficient and flexible adjustment of the relative position between the adjusting member 21 and the nozzle hole 12.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the adhesive applicator 100 also includes a controller 28 and a heating element 29. The nozzle 10 is disposed on the controller 28, and at least a portion of the heating element 29 is disposed in the receiving space and connected to the controller 28. The controller 28 is configured to control the heating element 29 to heat the nozzle 10.

[0054] The nozzle 10 is located on the controller 28. The connection between the nozzle 10 and the controller 28 can be, but is not limited to, snap-fit ​​or threaded connection. As some embodiments of this application, the nozzle 10 and the controller 28 are connected by snap-fit. A portion of the heating element 29 is located in the receiving space and connected to the controller 28. The controller can control the heating element 29 to heat the nozzle 10.

[0055] As some embodiments of this application, the nozzle 10 is connected to the controller 28 by a threaded connection, the heating element 29 is electrically connected to the controller 28, the heating element 29 is entirely disposed in the receiving space, and the controller can control the heating element 29 to heat the nozzle 10.

[0056] As some embodiments of this application, the nozzle 10 is connected to the controller 28 by a snap-fit ​​connection, the heating element 29 is electrically connected to the controller 28, part of the structure of the heating element 29 is disposed in the receiving space, and the controller can control the heating element 29 to heat the nozzle 10.

[0057] As some embodiments of this application, the heating element 29 is configured as a water heating element 29. The heating element 29 is entirely disposed in the receiving space and connected to the controller 28. The controller 28 can heat the nozzle 10 by controlling the rise of the water temperature in the water heating element 29.

[0058] As some embodiments of this application, the heating element 29 is configured as an electric heating element 29, a portion of which is disposed in the receiving space and connected to the controller 28. The controller 28 can directly control the current passing through the electric heating element 29 to raise the temperature of the electric heating element 29 to heat the nozzle 10.

[0059] It should be noted that after the adhesive applicator 100 has been left to stand for a period of time, the adhesive may solidify at the nozzle orifice 12, making it difficult to spray the adhesive. By placing at least a portion of the heating element 29 in the receiving space and connecting it to the controller 28, the nozzle 10 can be heated before the spraying operation to melt the solidified adhesive at the nozzle orifice 12, thereby reducing the probability of the adhesive clogging the nozzle orifice 12, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the adhesive applicator 100 and improving the spraying efficiency.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, the heating element 29 is constructed as an electric heating element, and the heating element 29 is electrically connected to the controller 28. In some embodiments of this application, the heating element 29 and the controller 28 are connected by a wire. A portion of the heating element 29 is disposed within the receiving space. The controller 28 can directly control the current passing through the electric heating element 29 to raise its temperature, thereby heating the nozzle 10. By constructing the heating element 29 as an electric heating element, the heating efficiency of the heating element 29 can be significantly improved, enabling rapid melting of the solidified adhesive at the nozzle orifice 12, saving spraying time and costs. Furthermore, the electric heating element 29 has a simple and stable structure, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the adhesive application device 100.

[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the controller 28 has a mounting portion 30. The nozzle 10 and heating element 29 are both assembled with the mounting portion 30. The assembly method between the nozzle 10 and the mounting portion 30 can be, but is not limited to, snap-fit ​​or screw-fit, and the assembly method between the heating element 29 and the mounting portion 30 can be, but is not limited to, snap-fit ​​or adhesive. In some embodiments of this application, the nozzle 10 and heating element 29 are assembled with the mounting portion 30 by snap-fit, and the nozzle 10 and heating element 29 are also sleeved with the mounting portion 30.

[0062] By having the controller 28 have a mounting part 30, and by assembling the nozzle 10 and the heating element 29 together with the mounting part 30, the assembly difficulty of the nozzle 10, the heating element 29 and the controller 28 can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving assembly efficiency.

[0063] As some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the number of mounting parts 30, the number of nozzles 10, and the number of heating elements 29 are the same and are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. For example, the number of mounting parts 30, the number of nozzles 10, and the number of heating elements 29 are all two and are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.
