Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to an adhesive applicator. Background Technology

[0002] A side plate is installed on the outside of the battery cell to fix and protect it. Adhesive tape is attached to the surface of the side plate facing away from the battery cell, allowing the side plate to be bound to the side of the battery cell using the tape. A bending structure is provided on the side plate to create a buffer space between the bending structure and the inner wall of the battery cell or casing. Both the flat surface and the side surface of the side plate extend along its length, with the side surface connecting to the flat surface, forming a corner between them.

[0003] In related technologies, the side panel needs to be first attached with adhesive tape using an adhesive applicator, and then the side panel with the adhesive tape attached is connected to the battery cell.

[0004] However, the adhesive application device in the aforementioned related technologies may cause defects such as gaps between the adhesive tape and the side of the side panel or wrinkles in the adhesive tape, affecting the adhesive application effect of the side panel. Utility Model Content

[0119] As described in the background section, the adhesive application device in the aforementioned related technologies may cause defects such as gaps or wrinkles between the adhesive tape and the side of the side panel, affecting the adhesive application effect of the side panel.

[0120] refer to Figure 1The reason for this problem is that the existing adhesive application device can only apply adhesive tape to the flat surface 12, and does not have a corresponding mechanism to apply adhesive tape to the side surface 13 of the side plate 10. To improve the protective performance of the side plate 10 for the battery cell, a buffer space needs to be formed between the battery cell and the battery casing. This is achieved by configuring the side plate 10 with a groove 11, which has an inner concave surface and an outer surface 15. The inner concave surface and the outer surface 15 are positioned opposite each other in the thickness direction of the side plate 10. When the outer surface 15 of the side plate 10 contacts the surface of the battery cell, the inner concave surface abuts against the inner wall of the casing, thus forming a buffer space between the battery cell and the inner wall of the casing. Adhesive needs to be applied to the inner concave surface of the groove 11 and the surface where the groove 11 opening is located. The inner concave surface includes the flat surface 12 at the bottom of the groove 11 and the side surface 13, which is inclined relative to the flat surface 12. The surface where the groove opening of the groove 11 is located can be used to abut against the inner wall of the battery casing.

[0121] refer to Figure 2 The side plate can be a convex structure. The outer surface 13a of the convex structure has a plane 11a and a side 12a. The plane 11a of the convex structure can abut against the inner wall of the battery casing. The other side of the convex structure opposite to the plane 11a can contact the outer surface 13a of the cell. At this time, a buffer space is formed between the outer surface 13a of the cell, the plane 11a and the side 12a. In this case, adhesive needs to be applied to the outer surface 13a of the side plate of the convex structure.

[0122] However, regardless of the type of adhesive application described above, existing adhesive application devices will cause gaps or wrinkles between the adhesive and the side panel when applying the adhesive tape to the flat surface and side panel.

[0123] Furthermore, using a roller to directly attach the side panel with sides requires the roller to be in contact with both the flat surface and the side surface of the side panel. In order to reduce the gap between the tape and the side panel, the gap between the roller and the side panel is small, so that the tape can be completely attached to the flat surface and the side surface of the side panel. This results in a larger contact area between the roller and the side panel, and further leads to a larger frictional resistance between the roller and the side panel.

[0124] When the frictional resistance between the side panel and the roller is high, the side panel's passability will decrease, and the power consumption of the adhesive applicator to drive the side panel will increase. Furthermore, with high frictional resistance, the adhesive tape attached to the side panel will be driven by the guide roller, causing the tape to slide relative to the side panel, resulting in wrinkles and affecting the adhesive application effect.

[0125] In addition, when using a single roller, in order to avoid the aforementioned wrinkles, it is necessary to increase the gap between the roller and the side of the side panel and reduce the contact area between the roller and the side. However, this arrangement results in a larger gap between the surface of the roller and the surface of the side panel, making it impossible for the roller to fully adhere the adhesive tape to the plane and side of the side panel. This leads to gaps between the adhesive tape and the side panel, which also affects the adhesive application effect of the side panel.

[0126] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an adhesive applicator. By moving the adhesive tape along the direction from the first adhesive applicator unit to the second adhesive applicator unit, and during the tape's movement, the first adhesive applicator unit first applies the tape to the flat surface of the side panel, and then the second adhesive applicator unit applies the tape to the side surface of the side panel. This allows for step-by-step application of adhesive to both the flat and side surfaces of the side panel, avoiding excessive contact area between the first or second adhesive applicator unit and the side panel, which would otherwise result in excessive frictional resistance. This enables adhesive application to side panels with side surfaces, preventing gaps or wrinkles between the tape and the side surface of the side panel during application, thus improving the adhesive application effect.

[0127] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0128] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This application provides an adhesive applicator, which may include a first adhesive applicator unit 100, a second adhesive applicator unit 200, and a pressing mechanism 300.

[0129] The first adhesive application unit 100 and the second adhesive application unit 200 are along a first direction (e.g., ...). Figure 4 The first adhesive application unit 100 and the second adhesive application unit 200 are arranged at intervals in the X direction, and are sequentially applied to the side panel 10. In a specific implementation, the first direction can be horizontal, and the first adhesive application unit 100 and the second adhesive application unit 200 are arranged in the horizontal direction. Both the first adhesive application unit 100 and the second adhesive application unit 200 can be set on a mounting surface perpendicular to the horizontal plane 12, such as a wall.

[0130] Along the application direction from the first adhesive application unit 100 to the second adhesive application unit 200, the first adhesive application unit 100 and the second adhesive application unit 200 are used to sequentially apply adhesive tape to the side panel 10. The first adhesive application unit 100 is used to apply the adhesive tape to the plane 12 of the side panel 10, and the second adhesive application unit 200 is used to apply the adhesive tape to the side surface 13 of the side panel 10.

[0131] In a specific implementation, the side panel 10 is conveyed from the side of the first adhesive application unit 100 away from the second adhesive application unit 200 to the first adhesive application unit 100. The first adhesive application unit 100 applies the adhesive tape to the plane 12 of the side panel 10 before the second adhesive application unit 200. At this time, a portion of the adhesive tape on the side panel 10 is initially adhered to the plane 12, but the portion of the side panel 10 corresponding to the side 13 has not yet been adhered to the side 13 of the side panel 10. Then, the side panel 10 and the adhesive tape are conveyed to the second adhesive application unit 200. The second adhesive application unit 200 can apply the adhesive tape corresponding to the side 13 to the side 13 of the side panel 10, and the second adhesive application unit 200 can also apply the adhesive tape to the corner between the plane 12 and the side 13, and finally achieve the application of the adhesive tape on the side panel 10.

[0132] This application provides an adhesive applicator. By moving the adhesive tape along the direction from the first adhesive applicator unit 100 to the second adhesive applicator unit 200, and during the movement of the adhesive tape, the first adhesive applicator unit 100 first applies the adhesive tape to the plane 12 of the side plate 10, and then the second adhesive applicator unit 200 applies the adhesive tape to the side surface 13 of the side plate 10, so as to apply the adhesive tape to the plane 12 and the side surface 13 of the side plate 10 in steps. This avoids excessive frictional resistance caused by excessive contact area between the first adhesive applicator unit 100 or the second adhesive applicator unit 200 and the side plate 10. This enables the application of adhesive tape to the side plate 10 with the side surface 13, and avoids gaps or wrinkles between the adhesive tape and the side surface 13 of the side plate 10 when the adhesive tape is applied to the side plate 10, thereby improving the adhesive application effect of the side plate 10.

[0133] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the adhesive applicator further includes a pressing mechanism 300 and the first adhesive applicator unit 100 along a second direction (e.g., Figure 4The components are arranged at intervals in the Y direction, and the pressing mechanism 300 and the second adhesive unit 200 can also be arranged at intervals in the second direction. The second direction can be perpendicular to the first direction. When the first direction is horizontal, the second direction can be vertical. The pressing mechanism 300 can be located above the first adhesive unit 100 or the second adhesive unit 200. The side plate 10 passes through the gap between the pressing mechanism 300 and the first adhesive unit 100 or the second adhesive unit 200. The pressing mechanism 300 is used to apply a force to the side plate 10 toward the first adhesive unit 100 and the second adhesive unit 200, which can at least reduce the probability of the side plate 10 bouncing in the second direction during movement and improve the effect of the iron frame.

[0134] By setting up a pressing mechanism 300, a force is applied towards the side plate 10 through the pressing mechanism 300 and the first adhesive application unit 100 and the second adhesive application unit 200, thereby reducing the probability of the side plate 10 shifting or deviating during the adhesive application process, improving the stability of the side plate 10 during movement, and improving the adhesive application accuracy and quality.

[0135] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first adhesive application unit 100 may include a first roller 110 and a first support assembly 120.

[0136] The first roller 110 rotates relative to the adhesive tape. The first roller 110 has a first rolling surface 111, which corresponds to the plane 12 of the side plate 10. The first rolling surface 111 is used to adhere the adhesive tape to the plane 12 of the side plate 10.

[0137] The first support assembly 120 is used to connect to the mounting surface and to support the first roller 110, which rotates relative to the first support assembly 120.

[0138] In this way, the first adhesive application unit 100, including the first roller 110, can apply the adhesive tape to the plane 12 of the side plate 10 during the rolling of the first roller 110, realizing the rolling contact between the adhesive tape and the first roller 110. Compared with the sliding contact between the first adhesive application unit 100 and the adhesive tape, the rolling contact method can reduce the frictional resistance between the first adhesive application unit 100 and the adhesive tape, facilitate the passage of the adhesive tape and the side plate 10, and improve the application efficiency of the adhesive tape.

[0139] By setting the first support assembly 120, the first roller 110 can be supported by the first support assembly 120, reducing the problem of the first roller 110 shifting or moving during rotation, improving the stability of the first roller 110 during rolling, and improving the mounting effect of the first roller 110 on the plane 12 of the side plate 10.

[0140] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first support assembly 120 may include a first rotating shaft 121, a first fixing block 122, and a first support plate 123. The first fixing block 122 is disposed on the first support plate 123, the first rotating shaft 121 is connected to the first fixing block 122, and a first roller 110 passes through the first rotating shaft 121 and rotates relative to the first rotating shaft 121.

[0141] There may be two first fixing blocks 122, which are spaced apart. The first roller 110 and the first rotating shaft 121 are both disposed between the two first fixing blocks 122. Both ends of the first rotating shaft 121 are fixed to the two first fixing blocks 122 respectively. The first roller 110 passes through the first rotating shaft 121 and rotates relative to the first rotating shaft 121. The two first fixing blocks 122 can fix the first rotating shaft 121. When the first roller 110 passes through the first rotating shaft 121, the two first fixing blocks 122 can improve the installation stability of the first rotating shaft 121 and the stability of the first roller 110 during rotation.

[0142] In some embodiments, the first support assembly 120 can be directly connected to the mounting surface, or the first support assembly 120 can also be indirectly connected to the mounting surface through other structural components.

[0143] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first adhesive application unit 100 may further include a first fixing plate 130 and a first lifting mechanism 140. One end of the first fixing plate 130 is connected to the mounting surface, one end of the first lifting mechanism 140 is connected to the first fixing plate 130, and the other end of the first lifting mechanism 140 is connected to the first support assembly 120. The first lifting mechanism 140 is used to drive the first support assembly 120 to move relative to the first fixing plate 130 in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0144] When the first lifting mechanism 140 drives the first support assembly 120 to move up and down in the second direction, the first lifting mechanism 140 can also simultaneously drive the first roller 110 on the first support assembly 120 to move up and down in the second direction.

[0145] In some embodiments, before the adhesive is applied, the side plate 10 does not pass through the first adhesive application unit 100. The first support assembly 120 and the first roller 110 can move to a position away from the pressing mechanism 300 under the action of the first lifting mechanism 140, and the adhesive tape is pre-applied to the first adhesive application unit 100. When the end of the side plate 10 passes through the first adhesive application unit 100, the first lifting mechanism 140 drives the first support assembly 120 and the first roller 110 to move upward toward the plane 12 of the side plate 10, so as to apply the pre-applied tape on the first adhesive application unit 100 to the end of the side plate 10. The adhesive tape will move with the side plate 10 under the action of the side plate 10. Then the first roller 110 can apply the part of the adhesive tape that is not pre-applied to the side plate 10 to the plane 12 of the side plate 10.

[0146] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first lifting mechanism 140 may include a first slide rail assembly 141, which is used to slide the first support assembly 120 and the first fixed plate 130 together. The first slide rail drives the first support assembly 120 and the first roller 110 to move relative to the first fixed plate 130 in a second direction.

[0147] In this way, the structure of the first slide rail assembly 141 is relatively simple, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the first lifting mechanism 140 and the cost of the first adhesive unit 100 while ensuring that the first support assembly 120 and the first roller 110 move in the second direction.

[0148] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first slide rail assembly 141 may include a first slider 1411 and a first slide groove 1412. The first slider 1411 is disposed on the first support assembly 120, and the first slide groove 1412 is disposed on the first fixing plate 130. The first slider 1411 is slidably disposed in the first slide groove 1412, and the first slider 1411 moves relative to the first slide groove 1412 in a second direction.

[0149] In some embodiments, the first slider 1411 can be disposed on the first fixed plate 130, and the first groove 1412 can be disposed on the first support assembly 120.

[0150] In this way, by setting the first slide rail assembly 141 as the first slider 1411 and the first slide groove 1412, the structure of the first slide rail assembly 141 can be simplified, and the maintenance and replacement of the first slide rail assembly 141 can be facilitated, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the first slide rail assembly 141.

[0151] In some embodiments, the first slide rail assembly 141 may further include two spaced-apart pillars 143, the first slider 1411 and the first slide groove 1412 may be located between the two pillars 143, the two pillars 143 may be used to connect to the first support assembly 120, and the two pillars 143 are connected to the first slider 1411.

[0152] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first lifting mechanism 140 may further include a first return member 142, one end of which is connected to the first slide rail assembly 141, and the other end of which is connected to the pressing mechanism 300. The first return member 142 is used to apply a force toward the side plate 10 to the first slide rail assembly 141.

[0153] In this way, by setting the first return component 142, the first roller 110 can always adhere the tape to the plane 12 of the side panel 10 during the tape application process, avoiding the situation where the first roller 110 fails to adhere the tape to the plane 12 of the side panel 10 when the side panel 10 moves or bounces in the second direction, thereby improving the adhesion effect between the tape and the plane 12 of the side panel 10.

[0154] In some embodiments, the first return member 142 may be a tension spring, one end of which is connected to the first lifting mechanism 140, and the other end of which may be connected to the pressing mechanism 300. If the first slide rail assembly 141 includes a support column 143, the tension spring may be used to connect to the support column 143 of the first slide rail assembly 141.

[0155] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second adhesive application unit 200 may include a second roller 210 and a second support assembly 220. The second roller 210 rotates relative to the adhesive tape and is used to apply the adhesive tape to the side surface 13 of the side panel 10. The second roller 210 is also used to apply the adhesive tape to the corner between the plane 12 and the side surface 13 of the side panel 10.

[0156] The second support assembly 220 is used to connect to the mounting surface and to support the second roller 210, which rotates relative to the second support assembly 220.

[0157] In this way, the second adhesive application unit 200, including the second roller 210, can apply the adhesive tape to the side surface 13 of the side plate 10 and to the corner between the plane 12 and the side surface 13 of the side plate 10 during the rolling of the second roller 210. Compared to the sliding contact between the second adhesive application unit 200 and the adhesive tape, the rolling contact between the adhesive tape and the second roller 210 reduces the frictional resistance between them, facilitates the passage of the adhesive tape and the side plate 10, and improves the application efficiency.

[0158] By setting the second support assembly 220, the second roller 210 can be supported, reducing the problem of the second roller 210 shifting or moving during rotation, improving the stability of the second roller 210 during rolling, and improving the mounting effect of the second roller 210 on the plane 12 of the side plate 10.

[0159] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the second roller 210 may include a first side roller surface 212, the surface of which is parallel to the side surface 13 of the side plate 10, and the first side roller surface 212 is used to attach adhesive tape to the side surface 13.

[0160] By providing a first side rolling surface 212 on the second roller 210 that corresponds to the side surface 13 of the side plate 10, the second roller 210 can easily attach the adhesive tape to the side surface 13 of the side plate 10 through the first side rolling surface 212, thereby improving the adhesion effect between the adhesive tape and the side surface 13.

[0161] Furthermore, the second roller 210 may also have a rolling surface for rolling the flat surface 12 of the side plate 10, which can roll the adhesive tape on the flat surface 12 of the side plate 10 again, further improving the adhesion between the adhesive tape and the flat surface 12 of the side plate 10.

[0162] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the second roller 210 may include a second rolling surface 211 for adhering the adhesive tape to the plane 12 of the side plate 10. In this way, the third roller 230 can roll the adhesive tape on the plane 12 of the side plate 10 again through the second rolling surface 211, thereby improving the adhesion between the adhesive tape and the plane 12 of the side plate 10.

[0163] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7In some embodiments, if adhesive tape needs to be applied to the concave surface of the groove 11 on the side plate 10, then the two side surfaces 13 in the concave surface need to be applied. The corresponding second roller 210 may have two spaced-apart first side rolling surfaces 212, so that each first side rolling surface 212 corresponds to a side surface 13 on the side plate 10. If the second roller 210 has a second rolling surface 211 that rolls the plane 12 of the side plate 10, then the two first side rolling surfaces 212 can be located on both sides of the second rolling surface 211, and the second rolling surface 211 can protrude radially from the two first side rolling surfaces 212 relative to the second roller 210.

[0164] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 In other embodiments, if adhesive is to be applied to the plane 11a and side 12a on the outer surface 13a of the side plate 10, the second roller surface 211 can be recessed radially toward the center of the second roller 210 relative to the two first side roller surfaces 212.

[0165] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second adhesive application unit 200 may further include a third roller 230, which is disposed on the second support assembly 220 and located on the side of the second roller 210 away from the first adhesive application unit 100. The third roller 230 is used to apply adhesive tape to the plane 11a and side 12a of the side plate 10.

[0166] In this way, by setting the third roller 230, the adhesive tape at the plane 11a on the side plate 10 and the adhesive tape at the side surface 12a on the side plate 10 can be pressed and adhered again, thereby further improving the adhesion of the adhesive tape on the side surface 12a and the plane 11a of the side plate 10 and improving the adhesive application effect of the side plate 10.

[0167] In some embodiments, the structure of the third roller 230 may be the same as that of the second roller 210. The third roller 230 may also have a rolling surface for rolling the adhesive tape at the plane 11a of the side plate 10, and a rolling surface for rolling the side surface 12a of the side plate 10.

[0168] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the third roller 230 may include a third roller surface 231 and a second side roller surface 232. The third roller surface 231 is used to adhere the adhesive tape to the plane 12 of the side plate 10, and the second side roller surface 232 is parallel to the side surface 13 of the side plate 10 and is used to adhere the adhesive tape to the side surface 13 of the side plate 10.

[0169] In this way, the side surface 232 of the third roller 230 can be used to roll the side surface 13 of the side plate 10 again, so as to further improve the adhesion between the adhesive tape and the side surface 13 of the side plate 10. It can also roll the adhesive tape at the corner between the plane 12 and the side surface 13 on the side plate 10 again, thereby improving the adhesion between the adhesive tape and the corner between the side surface 13 and the plane 12 on the side plate 10.

[0170] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, if it is necessary to apply adhesive tape to the surface where the groove 11 on the side plate 10 is located, the surface where the groove 11 is located can be an abutment surface 14 for abutting against the inner wall of the housing. The second adhesive application unit 200 may also include an adhesive applicator 240, which is disposed on the side of the third roller 230 facing away from the second roller 210. The adhesive applicator 240 is used to apply adhesive tape to the abutment surface 14 of the side plate 10.

[0171] In this way, by setting up the adhesive application plate 240, it is easy to apply the adhesive tape to the contact surface 14 of the side panel 10, thereby improving the adhesive application effect of the side panel 10.

[0172] In some embodiments, the adhesive applicator 240 can be disposed on the second support assembly 220 and fixedly connected to the second support assembly 220.

[0173] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second support assembly 220 may include a second rotating shaft 221, a second fixing block 222, and a second support plate 223. The second fixing block 222 is disposed on the second support plate 223, the second rotating shaft 221 is connected to the second fixing block 222, and a second roller 210 passes through the second rotating shaft 221 and rotates relative to the second rotating shaft 221.

[0174] In some embodiments, there may be two second fixing blocks 222, which are spaced apart. The second roller 210 and the second rotating shaft 221 are both disposed between the two second fixing blocks 222. Both ends of the second rotating shaft 221 are fixed to the two second fixing blocks 222 respectively. The second roller 210 passes through the second rotating shaft 221 and rotates relative to the second rotating shaft 221. The two second fixing blocks 222 can fix the second rotating shaft 221. When the second roller 210 passes through the second rotating shaft 221, the two second fixing blocks 222 can improve the installation stability of the second rotating shaft 221 and the stability of the second roller 210 during rotation.

[0175] In some embodiments, the second support assembly 220 can be directly connected to the mounting surface, or the second support assembly 220 can be indirectly connected to the mounting surface through other structural components.

[0176] In some embodiments, the second support assembly 220 may further include a third rotating shaft 224 and a third fixing block 225. The third fixing block 225 is disposed on the second support plate 223, the third rotating shaft 224 is connected to the third fixing block 225, and a third roller 230 passes through the third rotating shaft 224 and rotates relative to the third rotating shaft 224.

[0177] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second adhesive application unit 200 may further include a second fixing plate 250 and a second lifting mechanism 260. One end of the second fixing plate 250 is connected to the mounting surface, one end of the second lifting mechanism 260 is connected to the second fixing plate 250, and the other end of the second lifting mechanism 260 is connected to the second support assembly 220. The second lifting mechanism 260 is used to drive the second support assembly 220 to move relative to the second fixing plate 250 in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0178] When the second lifting mechanism 260 drives the second support assembly 220 to move up and down in the second direction, the second lifting mechanism 260 can also simultaneously drive the second roller 210 on the second support assembly 220 to move up and down in the second direction.

[0179] In this way, by setting the second lifting mechanism 260, the height of the second support assembly 220 and the second roller 210 in the second direction can be easily adjusted according to the thickness of the side plate 10, so that the second roller 210 can fit against the plane 12 and side 13 of the side plate 10, thereby improving the effect of the second roller 210 in attaching the adhesive tape to the side plate 10.

[0180] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second lifting mechanism 260 may include a second slide rail assembly 261, which is used to slide the second support assembly 220 and the second fixed plate 250 together. The second slide rail drives the second support assembly 220 and the second roller 210 to move relative to the second fixed plate 250 in a second direction.

[0181] In this way, the structure of the second slide rail assembly 261 is relatively simple, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the second lifting mechanism 260 and the cost of the second adhesive unit 200 while ensuring that the second support assembly 220 and the second roller 210 move in the second direction.

[0182] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second lifting mechanism 260 may further include a second return member 262, which is connected to the second slide rail assembly 261. The other end of the second return member 262 is connected to the pressing mechanism 300. The second return member 262 is used to apply a force toward the side plate 10 to the second slide rail assembly 261.

[0183] In this way, by setting the second return member 262, the second return member 262 applies a force to the second support assembly 220 and the second roller 210 toward the side plate 10, thereby facilitating the second roller 210 to adhere the adhesive tape to the plane 12 and side 13 of the side plate 10, and improving the adhesion effect between the adhesive tape and the side plate 10.

[0184] In some embodiments, the second return member 262 may be a tension spring, one end of which is connected to the second slide rail assembly 261, and the other end of which may be connected to the pressing mechanism 300.

[0185] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second slide rail assembly 261 may include a second slider 2611 and a second slide groove 2612. The second slider 2611 is disposed on the second support assembly 220, and the second slide groove 2612 is disposed on the second fixing plate 250. The second slider 2611 is slidably disposed in the second slide groove 2612, and the second slider 2611 moves relative to the second slide groove 2612 in a second direction.

[0186] In some embodiments, the second slider 2611 can be disposed on the second fixed plate 250, and the second slide groove 2612 can be disposed on the first support assembly 120.

[0187] In this way, by setting the second slide rail assembly 261 as the second slider 2611 and the second slide groove 2612, the structure of the second slide rail assembly 261 can be simplified, and the maintenance and replacement of the second slide rail assembly 261 can be facilitated, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the second slide rail assembly 261.

[0188] In some embodiments, the second rail assembly may further include two spaced-apart pillars 143, the second slider 2611 and the second slide groove 2612 may be located between the two pillars 143, the two pillars 143 may be used to connect to the second support assembly 220, and the two pillars 143 are connected to the second slider 2611.

[0189] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 10In some embodiments, the pressing mechanism 300 may further include a plurality of pressing rollers 310, which are arranged at intervals with the first adhesive application unit 100 along the second direction. A portion of the pressing rollers 310 are correspondingly arranged with the first adhesive application unit 100, and a portion of the pressing rollers 310 are correspondingly arranged with the second adhesive application unit 200. The pressing rollers 310 are used to abut against the outer surface 15 of the side plate 10 corresponding to the plane 12.

[0190] In this way, the pressing mechanism 300, by including multiple pressing rollers 310, can achieve rolling contact between the pressing mechanism 300 and the side plate 10. While ensuring that a pressing force is applied to the side plate 10, it can also reduce the contact friction between the pressing mechanism 300 and the side plate 10, making it easier for the side plate 10 to pass through.

[0191] When there are multiple pressure rollers 310, one pressure roller 310 can be set to correspond with the first roller 110 of the first adhesive application unit 100, one pressure roller 310 can be set to correspond with the second roller 210 of the second adhesive application unit 200, another pressure roller 310 can be set to correspond with the third roller 230 of the second adhesive application unit 200, and another pressure roller 310 can be set to correspond with the adhesive application plate 240 of the second adhesive application unit 200.

[0192] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the adhesive applicator may further include a cutting unit 400, which is disposed between the first adhesive applicator 100 and the second adhesive applicator 200, and is used to cut the adhesive tape.

[0193] In this way, by setting the cutting unit 400, the adhesive tape can be cut. For example, after the side panel 10 is glued, the excess adhesive tape at the end of the side panel 10 can be cut off by the cutting unit 400, avoiding waste of adhesive tape and reducing the manual cutting process, thus saving labor and material costs of adhesive tape.

[0194] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the cutting unit 400 may include a pressing assembly 410, a cutter 420, and a third support assembly 430. The pressing assembly 410 is arranged at a distance from the first adhesive application unit 100 along a second direction, and the pressing assembly 410 is used to drive the first support assembly 120 toward or away from the side panel 10. The cutter 420 is disposed on the third support assembly 430, and the cutter 420 is located between the pressing assembly 410 and the second adhesive application unit 200. The cutter 420 is used to cut the adhesive tape when the pressing assembly 410 drives the first support assembly 120 away from the side panel 10.

[0195] In this way, by using the pressing component 410 to press the first support component 120 down relative to the third support component 430 in the second direction, the adhesive tape can be moved downward relative to the cutter 420 in the second direction, thereby generating a shearing force, which facilitates the cutting of the adhesive tape and improves the cutting efficiency of the adhesive tape.

[0196] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the cutting unit 400 may further include a third fixing plate 440 and a third lifting mechanism 450. One end of the third fixing plate 440 is connected to the mounting surface, one end of the third lifting mechanism 450 is connected to the third fixing plate 440, and the other end of the third lifting mechanism 450 is connected to the third support assembly 430. The third lifting mechanism 450 is used to drive the third support assembly 430 to move relative to the third fixing plate 440 in a second direction.

[0197] The third lifting mechanism 450 can be a lifting cylinder, which can drive the third support assembly 430 and the cutter 420 to move along the second direction.

[0198] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the cutting unit 400 may further include a fourth roller 460, which is disposed on the third support assembly 430 and located on the side of the cutter 420 away from the pressing assembly 410. The fourth roller 460 rotates relative to the third support assembly 430 and is used to support the side plate 10.

[0199] After the cutting unit 400 cuts the tape at the end of the side plate 10, the end of the side plate 10 will be relatively suspended. Due to the large distance between the first adhesive unit 100 and the second adhesive unit 200, the end of the side plate 10 will be bent. The fourth roller 460 can support the end of the side plate 10.

[0200] Furthermore, after the tape at the end of the side panel 10 is cut off, the tape at the end of the side panel 10 will be separated from the side panel 10 by the pressing component 410. The tape at the end of the side panel 10 can be reattached to the side panel 10 by the fourth roller 460, ensuring the tape application effect on the side panel 10.

[0201] In some embodiments, when the pressing component 410 abuts against the third adhesive unit and moves the third adhesive unit downward in the second direction, the pressing component 410 has an opening that allows the side plate 10 to pass through.

[0202] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 9In some embodiments, the pressing assembly 410 may include a pressing arm 411 and a drive member 412. The first adhesive applicator unit 100 may also include a boss 150 corresponding to the pressing arm 411. The boss 150 is disposed on the first support assembly 120 and faces the pressing arm 411, and the boss 150 is located between the cutting unit 400 and the first roller 110.

[0203] The driving member 412 drives the lower pressing arm 411 to move toward the boss 150, so that the lower pressing arm 411 drives the boss 150 to move in the second direction.

[0204] In some embodiments, there may be two lower pressure arms 411, which are arranged at intervals, and the side plate 10 can pass through the gap between the two lower pressure arms 411. The driving member 412 may be a lifting cylinder to drive the lower pressure arms 411 to move in the second direction.

[0205] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the boss 150 may also include an abutment portion 151, which is used to abut the adhesive tape against the plane 12 of the side plate 10. By providing the abutment portion 151, the first end of the adhesive tape can be pasted and fixed on the abutment portion 151 before the side plate 10 is glued, and then when the first end of the side plate 10 passes through the abutment portion 151, the first end of the adhesive tape is attached to the first end of the side plate 10, thus completing the attachment of the first end of the side plate 10.

[0206] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, a first sensing element 500 may also be included, which is disposed between the first adhesive application unit 100 and the cutting unit 400. The first sensing element 500 is used to sense the first end of the side panel 10.

[0207] During the continuous application of adhesive to multiple side panels 10, when the previous side panel 10 is finished and the tape at the end of the side panel 10 is cut by the cutting unit 400, in order to facilitate the cutting of the tape, the pressing component 410 will press down the first support component 120 and the first roller 110 in the second direction to complete the cutting. At this time, the first support component 120 and the first roller 110 are far away from the side panel 10, and cannot completely apply adhesive to the plane 12 of the side panel 10.

[0208] Therefore, when the side panel 10 is received, the first support assembly 120 and the first roller 110 need to be raised to the adhesive application position to apply adhesive to the plane 12 of the side panel 10. By setting the first sensing element 500, when the first sensing element 500 senses the side panel 10, the pressing assembly 410 rises, and the first support assembly 120 and the first roller 110 can be returned to the adhesive application position under the action of the first returning element 142, so that the first adhesive application unit 100 applies adhesive to the plane 12 of the side panel 10.

[0209] By setting the first sensing element 500, the distance between the first adhesive application unit 100 and the side plate 10 can be automatically adjusted before the side plate 10 is applied, thereby improving the automation of the adhesive application device, further reducing the number of manual operation steps, and thus reducing labor costs.

[0210] In some embodiments, the adhesive applicator may further include a second sensor (not shown in the figure), which is disposed on the side of the first adhesive applicator 100 facing away from the cutting unit 400, and is used to sense the tail end of the side plate 10.

[0211] In a specific implementation, when the second sensing element detects the end of the side plate 10 passing by, the pressing component 410 can drive the first support component 120 and the first roller 110 to move in the second direction away from the side plate 10, and can make the adhesive tape at the corresponding position of the first adhesive unit 100 move downward relative to the cutting unit 400, so as to cut the adhesive tape at the end of the side plate 10 through shearing force and complete the cutting of the adhesive tape.

[0212] This avoids the need for manual observation of whether the side panel 10 is about to be glued, reducing manual labor, lowering labor costs, improving detection accuracy and efficiency, and increasing the glue application efficiency of the glue application device.

[0213] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the adhesive applicator may further include an adhesive preparation mechanism 600, which provides adhesive tape to the first adhesive applicator unit 100. Thus, by providing the adhesive preparation mechanism 600, adhesive tape can be provided to both the first adhesive applicator unit 100 and the second adhesive applicator unit 200.

[0214] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the adhesive preparation mechanism 600 may include a film chuck 610, a film roll 620, a plurality of adhesive rollers 630, and a plurality of non-adhesive rollers 640. The film roll 620 can be disposed on the rewind chuck, and one end of the film roll 620 is sequentially conveyed to the first adhesive application unit 100 via the adhesive rollers 630 and the non-adhesive rollers 640 to complete the conveying of the adhesive tape.

[0215] The various embodiments or implementation methods described in this specification are presented in a progressive manner. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments, and the same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0216] It should be noted that the terms "one embodiment," "embodiment," "exemplary embodiment," "some embodiments," etc., mentioned in the specification indicate that the described embodiment may include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic, but not every embodiment necessarily includes that specific feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, such phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Moreover, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments, whether explicitly described or not, is within the knowledge scope of those skilled in the art.

[0217] Generally speaking, terms should be understood at least in part by their use in context. For example, at least in part by context, the term "one or more" as used in the text can be used to describe any feature, structure, or characteristic of the singular meaning, or a combination of features, structures, or characteristics of the plural meaning. Similarly, at least in part by context, terms such as "a" or "the" can also be understood to convey either singular or plural usage.

[0218] It should be readily understood that “on,” “above,” and “on top of” in this disclosure should be interpreted in the broadest manner, such that “on” means not only “directly on something” but also “on something” with an intermediate feature or layer therebetween, and that “above” or “on top of” means not only “on something” but also “on something” without an intermediate feature or layer therebetween (i.e., directly on something).

[0219] Furthermore, for ease of explanation, spatially relative terms such as "below," "below," "under," "above," and "above" may be used to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to other elements or features as shown in the figures.
