[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0017] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an automatic deflector glue applicator includes a glue applicator belt 1, which includes a telescopic arm 101. The upper end of the telescopic arm 101 is rotatably connected to a drive wheel 102. A drive motor 103 connected to the drive wheel 102 is mounted on the outside of the upper arm. The lower end of the telescopic arm 101 is rotatably connected to a driven wheel 104. The upper arms of the two telescopic arms 101 are connected by a support rod. The middle part of the upper arm of one telescopic arm 101 is connected to the piston rod end of a height cylinder 10 by a crossbar 9. The cylinder body of the height cylinder 10 is mounted vertically downward on a base 11. The glue applicator belt 1 is attached to a brush strip 2, and the ring of the brush strip 2 is tensioned on the glue applicator belt 1 by the telescopic arm 101.

[0018] In this embodiment, a dipping trough 3 is provided below the coating belt 1. The bottom of the dipping trough 3 is connected to the output end of the feeding pump 12, which is located inside the bottom support of the dipping trough 3. The input end of the feeding pump 12 is connected to the storage tank 13, which is located inside the base 11. The liquid level probe wire inside the dipping trough 3 is connected to the feeding pump 12. As the coating belt 1 moves, the brush strip 2 on the lower layer comes into contact with the glue in the dipping trough 3. The input end of the coating belt 1 is connected to the feeding belt 4. Several lifting columns 401 are connected to the bottom of the frame of the feeding belt 4. The lifting columns 401 are fastened by adjusting bolts. A gantry frame 5 is provided parallel to the two conveyor belts on one side. A transfer mechanism is provided on the crossbeam 501 of the gantry frame 5.

[0019] In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism includes a transfer motor 14, which is installed at one end of the crossbeam 501. The output end of the transfer motor 14 is connected to a threaded shaft 15, which is rotatably connected to the two ends of a groove on the inner end face of the crossbeam 501. The threaded shaft 15 is threadedly connected to a slider 1601 on one side of the cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 16, and the slider 1601 is slidably connected to the groove of the crossbeam 501. The piston rod end of the lifting cylinder 16 is connected to the horizontal plate of the mounting base 17. A steering motor 8 is installed on the bottom surface of the horizontal plate. The output end of the steering motor 8 meshes with a gear ring 1801 on the cylinder body of the longitudinal transfer cylinder 18. The bottom of the cylinder body of the longitudinal transfer cylinder 18 is rotatably connected to the vertical plate of the mounting base 17. The longitudinal transfer cylinder 18 is connected to an external air circuit through a rotary air valve 19 installed on the back side of the vertical plate. The piston rod of the longitudinal transfer cylinder 18 is connected to an electric suction cup 6 support. When the electric suction cup 6 adsorbs the baffle 7 on the feeding belt 4, the steering motor 8 can drive the longitudinal cylinder 18 to rotate, thereby causing the baffle 7 to rotate and adjust on the vertical plane.

[0020] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0021] Insert the ring of brush strip 2 onto the belt of coating belt 1, and adjust the telescopic arm 101 to tension brush strip 2 so that it fits tightly against the belt surface. Start the feeding belt 4 to transport the spoiler 7 to one end of the gantry 5, and start the electric suction cup 6 to pick up the spoiler 7. At this time, the transfer motor 14 can move the spoiler 7 laterally, so that it moves above the coating belt 1; the longitudinal movement cylinder 18 can move the spoiler 7 longitudinally; the lifting cylinder 16 can move the spoiler 7 vertically; and the steering motor 8 can drive the gear ring 1801 to adjust the tilt angle of the spoiler 7. After the baffle 7 enters the adhesive application station, the drive motor 103 drives the adhesive application belt 1 to rotate. The brush strip 2 dips into the adhesive trough 3 and then moves back up with the belt surface to apply adhesive to the baffle 7. During the adhesive application process, the transfer mechanism can adjust the baffle's horizontal, vertical, and rotational movements to coordinate with the adhesive application. When the liquid level in the adhesive trough 3 drops, the feed pump 12 pumps glue from the storage tank 13 to replenish it. After the adhesive application is completed, the transfer mechanism moves the baffle 7 back up to the top of the feeding belt 4 to press it against the lower layer of panels. This device has a simple structure, a high degree of automation, and is convenient and efficient.
