Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automation equipment, specifically relating to an integrated device that combines glue application and screw tightening functions. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial manufacturing, especially in industries such as electronics, automobiles, home appliances, and precision instruments, the assembly process between workpieces and assemblies is a crucial step in product production. Common assembly processes typically involve several independent but sequential steps, such as: applying adhesive to the workpiece to enhance connection strength or achieve a sealing function; positioning and aligning the assembly with the workpiece; and securing the structural connection using methods such as screw fastening.
[0003] However, in existing assembly equipment and processes, the aforementioned steps often require separate specialized equipment. For example, adhesive application is often done using a separate automated dispensing machine or manually, while screw fastening needs to be transferred to another station (usually requiring workers to move the screws along the way) and tightened by a multi-axis automated screw fastening machine or manually. This decentralized processing method not only increases the time cost of material handling but also easily leads to accumulated errors due to multiple positioning, thus affecting the final assembly accuracy and consistency.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0034] (1) This utility model is an integrated device that integrates gluing and screw tightening functions. By integrating multiple modules on a single device, it effectively achieves seamless connection between the two key processes of gluing and screw tightening. The material transfer module can accurately control the switching of the workpiece between the gluing position and the screw tightening position.

[0048] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0049] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0050] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses an integrated device that combines gluing and screw-tightening functions, used to tighten an assembly 10 onto a workpiece 11. It includes a machine base 2, a material transfer module 3, a gluing module 4, a receiving module 5, and a tightener 6.
[0051] The transfer module 3 is movably mounted on the machine base 2 and can move the workpiece 11 between the glue application position and the screw tightening position on the machine base 2. The glue application module 4 includes a glue application component 40 for adsorbing and releasing glue. The glue application module 4 can move the glue application component 40 to apply glue along the contact area between the workpiece 11 and the assembly 10. The receiving module 5 is movably mounted on the machine base 2 and is used to place the assembly 10. It can move the assembly 10 to align with the workpiece 11 and move it to fit tightly. The tightening device 6 is mounted on the machine base 2 and is used to pass several screws through the assembly 10 in sequence and tighten them onto the workpiece 11 to restrict the movement of the assembly 10 relative to the workpiece 11. When the transfer module 3 moves the glued workpiece 11 to the screw tightening position, the receiving module 5 moves the assembly 10 to fit tightly against the glued area of the workpiece 11 so that the tightening device 6 can fix the assembly 10 onto the workpiece 11 with screws.
[0052] In this embodiment, adhesive needs to be applied to the workpiece 11 before the assembly 10 can be assembled with screws. Specifically, as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, workers or robots can pre-place the assembly 10 to be assembled into the receiving module 5 above the machine base 2, ensuring it is fixed and in a horizontal position; simultaneously, the transfer module 3 is located in... Figure 1 and Figure 3 The screw-tightening position is shown, but it should be noted that this position not only provides operating space for subsequent screw-tightening, but also provides sufficient space for placing workpiece 11 before preparation. Therefore, the automated transfer module 3 achieves precise delivery and positioning of workpiece 11, avoiding offset or error accumulation caused by manual handling. As the transfer module 3 transports workpiece 11 to the glue application position of machine 2 according to the preset program (i.e., Figure 3 At the other end of the location, near the glue application module 4 (not shown in the figure), the glue application module 4 can be activated and drive the glue application component 40 to move along a set trajectory. During this process, the glue application component 40 pre-absorbs the glue, and then, driven by the glue application module 4, it can continuously apply glue to the surface of the workpiece 11 (i.e., the surface that contacts the assembly 10) according to the preset path. With the cooperation of the glue application module 4 and the external control system, the glue application component 40 has high-precision motion control capabilities, can adapt to complex shapes of glue application paths, and improve glue application consistency. This process also reduces manual intervention and avoids problems such as glue leakage and glue breakage that occur in traditional glue application processes. At this time, the transfer module 3 is activated again to move the glued workpiece 11 from the glue application position to the screw tightening position (i.e., Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown in the diagram, the material transfer module 3 enables seamless connection between different processes of workpiece 11, reducing intermediate handling time and improving overall cycle efficiency. As the receiving module 5 drives the positioned assembly 10 to move along the direction of workpiece 11 (alignment can be achieved through visual recognition or mechanical limiting), the adhesive-coated surface of the assembly 10 and workpiece 11 comes into contact and is pressed together, forming a preliminary adhesive connection. The automated centering and bonding operations effectively improve the consistency of assembly, and the preliminary bonding helps the stability of screw fastening and reduces the risk of misalignment. Finally, the tightening device 6 sequentially passes the screws through the assembly 10 and screws them into the screw holes of workpiece 11 according to the preset sequence. Precise torque control ensures the quality of screw fastening and avoids structural loosening or damage caused by over-tightening or under-tightening. Therefore, with the coordinated cooperation of each module, this integrated equipment ensures the efficient and stable operation of the entire equipment, while also enhancing the consistency of product assembly and the stability of quality.
[0053] The material transfer module 3 includes: a fixed base 30, which is set on the machine base 2; a transmission rod 31 and a movable block 32, wherein the transmission rod 31 is movably connected to the fixed base 30, one end of the transmission rod 31 is close to the adhesive application part 40, and the other end is close to the tightening device 6; the movable block 32 is movably sleeved on the transmission rod 31 so that the transmission rod 31 can drive the movable block 32 to perform linear reciprocating motion when it rotates; a guide rail 33 and a guide block 34, wherein the guide rail 33 is arranged parallel and symmetrically on both sides of the transmission rod 31, the guide block 34 is movably engaged with the guide rail 33, and a material transfer plate 35 is connected to the guide block 34, the bottom wall of the material transfer plate 35 is connected to the movable block 32.
[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the transmission rod 31 can be fixed to the fixed base 30 by bearings or other suitable movable connection methods to ensure that it can rotate freely. When the system command (not shown in the figure) detects that the workpiece 11 to be assembled is accurately placed on the transfer plate 35 (i.e., Figure 3As shown in the diagram, the drive device (such as a motor) starts and drives the transmission rod 31 to rotate. Due to the special design between the transmission rod 31 and the movable block 32 (e.g., threaded engagement), the rotational motion of the transmission rod 31 is converted into the linear reciprocating motion of the movable block 32. Combined with the constraint of the guide block 34 and the guide rail 33, this ensures that the transfer plate 35 and the workpiece 11 on it move smoothly towards the adhesive application position. The return operation of the transfer plate 35 along the original path after adhesive application is also performed in the same way, which will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that the structure and working principle of the transmission rod 31 and the movable block 32 in this embodiment can be referenced from the ball screw structure in machinery. Utilizing the high precision and high stability characteristics of the ball screw, the workpiece 11 can be accurately delivered to the target position in a very short time, improving production efficiency while effectively avoiding the accumulation of errors during movement. Furthermore, the dual-rail guiding mechanism effectively disperses the load pressure, extends the service life of the equipment, and reduces maintenance and costs.
[0055] The receiving module 5 includes: a support 50, which is set on the machine base 2, and a drive cylinder 51 is installed on the support 50; a first slider 52 and a first slide rail 53, the first slide rail 53 being parallel to the guide rail 33, the first slider 52 being movably engaged with the first slide rail 53, and a movable frame 54 being connected to the first slider 52, the output end of the drive cylinder 51 being connected to the movable frame 54; and a fastening component 55, which is set on the movable frame 54, the output end of the fastening component 55 being connected to a support platform 550, a support hole 550a being opened in the support platform 550, and the assembly 10 being placed in the support hole 550a.
[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the glue application module 4 evenly applies glue to the workpiece 11, the transfer plate 35 and the workpiece 11 on it are transferred to the workpiece 11 by the cooperation of the transmission rod 31 and the movable block 32. Figure 1 or Figure 3At the indicated position, the drive cylinder 51 can push the moving frame 54 to move along the first slide rail 53 to one side of the workpiece 11. During this process, the first slider 52 slides on the first slide rail 53 to ensure a stable and unbiased movement path, ensuring that the assembly 10 in the support hole 550a can be accurately aligned with the workpiece 11 on the transfer plate 35. When the assembly 10 and the workpiece 11 are aligned at a height difference (i.e., the assembly 10 is directly above the workpiece 11), the support assembly 55 can be pressed together to adjust the height of the support platform 550 according to the preset program. As the support platform 550 slowly lowers... Then, the adhesive surfaces of the assembly 10 and the workpiece 11 can be bonded together. It should be noted that the support hole 550a in this embodiment can ensure that the assembly 10 is firmly attached (which can be achieved by interference fit or vacuum suction cup adsorption). Therefore, after the assembly 10 is initially bonded to the workpiece 11, the tightening device 6 passes several screws through the assembly 10 and tightens them onto the workpiece 11 to ensure a firm connection between the two. Then, the support platform 550 can be moved away from the transfer plate 35 by the bonding component 55. At this time, the assembly 10 is disengaged from the support hole 550a and assembled onto the workpiece 11.
[0057] The fastening assembly 55 also includes: an adjusting cylinder 551, which is mounted on the movable frame 54. A guide block 552 is connected between the output end of the adjusting cylinder 551 and the support platform 550. The movable frame 54 has a guide groove 540 in the vertical direction, and the guide block 552 is movably mounted in the guide groove 540; a second slider 553 and a second slide rail 554. The second slide rail 554 is mounted on the side wall of the movable frame 54. The second slider 553 is connected to the support platform 550 and is movably engaged with the second slide rail 554.
[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the aforementioned drive cylinder 51 drives the contacting component 55 to contact the contacting component 55, the contacting component 55 is in contact with the contacting component 55. Figure 1 or Figure 3When the transfer plate 35 at the screw-tightening position is aligned (alignment means that the assembly 10 on the support block and the glued workpiece 11 are aligned in height difference), the adjusting cylinder 551 can drive the support platform 550 to move downwards and gradually approach the transfer plate 35, so that the assembly 10 in the support hole 550a and the workpiece 11 on the transfer plate 35 are initially bonded. In this process, this embodiment enhances the guidance and stability of the support platform 550 driving the assembly 10 in the bonding process through the coordinated work of the second slide rail 554 and the second slider 553. On the other hand, the movement of the guide block 552 in the guide groove 540 effectively avoids the tilting phenomenon of the support platform 550 driving the assembly 10 in the bonding process, which would affect the normal assembly operation. This ensures the accuracy and stability of the subsequent screw tightening operation. In addition, the driving of the adjusting cylinder 551 keeps the contact surface between the assembly 10 and the workpiece 11 under uniform pressure, reduces manual intervention, reduces human operation error, effectively avoids misalignment or glue leakage caused by uneven local force, and improves production efficiency and product yield.
[0059] The bottom walls of the transfer plate 35 and the moving frame 54 are both connected to limit blocks 350. The machine base 2 is provided with a mounting base 20, and the mounting base 20 is provided with a buffer column 200. The limit block 350 is movably pressed against the buffer column 200.
[0060] Preferably, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the displacement of both the transfer plate 35 and the moving frame 54 can be achieved through the cooperation of the limiting block 350 and the buffer column 200. This ensures that the workpiece 11 can accurately switch freely between the screw-tightening position and the glue-applying position, and ensures that the assembly 10 on the support platform 550 is accurately aligned with the workpiece 11. This effectively reduces positional deviations caused by mechanical errors, and high-precision positioning helps improve the overall assembly quality. Furthermore, the buffer column 200 can absorb kinetic energy when the component reaches the required position, reducing impact force and protecting critical components from damage, thus improving the stability and safety of the equipment. More preferably, in this embodiment, the buffer column 200 (not shown in the figure) can also be provided on the side wall of the moving frame 54, and the flexible bonding of the assembly 10 and the workpiece 11 can be achieved by the guide block 552 pressing against the buffer column 200.
[0061] The adhesive application component 40 includes an adhesive application needle 400 and an adhesive application pump 401, with the adhesive application needle 400 connected to the adhesive application pump 401. The adhesive application module 4 also includes a lifting rail 41, with the output end of the lifting rail 41 connected to a lifting plate 42, and the adhesive application pump 401 connected to the lifting plate 42.
[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the glue pump 401 in this embodiment is used to control the suction and output of glue, provide stable glue supply power, and ensure that the glue can be accurately dispensed according to the control specification. When performing glue application, the output end of the lifting rail 41 can drive the glue pump 401 and the glue needle 400 to move downward, so that the glue needle 400 can perform glue application operation on the workpiece 11 along a preset trajectory.
[0063] The machine 2 is also equipped with a placement seat 21. Each placement seat 21 has several placement holes 210 and detectors 211. The placement holes 210 are used to fix the storage container, and each placement hole 210 is equipped with a detector 211.
[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the placement seat 21 can be mounted on the machine base 2 using screws, bolts, or other components. This mounting structure is simple, easy to operate, and provides convenience for subsequent adjustments to the position of the placement seat 21. Furthermore, the placement hole 210 in this embodiment effectively restricts the movement of the storage container, ensuring that the glue pump 401 accurately drives the glue dispensing needle 400 into the storage container to draw glue. The detector 211 is used to detect whether the storage container is located within the placement hole 210, preventing the lifting rail 41 from driving the glue dispensing needle 400 for idle stroke suction. When the glue dispensing process starts, the system draws the required amount of glue from the storage container according to a preset program. Subsequently, with the cooperation of the glue dispensing module 4 and the lifting rail 41, a continuous glue dispensing operation is completed on the surface of the workpiece 11. Preferably, after the operation is completed, the glue dispensing needle 400 can be reset and positioned directly above the storage container to prevent residual glue from dripping onto the machine base 2 and affecting the overall smoothness.
[0065] The gluing module 4 also includes: a bracket 43, which is mounted on the machine base 2; an X-axis transfer rail 44 and a Y-axis transfer rail 45, wherein the X-axis transfer rail 44 is mounted on the bracket 43, the Y-axis transfer rail 45 is connected to the output end of the X-axis transfer rail 44, and the lifting rail 41 is connected to the output end of the Y-axis transfer rail 45; and traction chains 46, which are respectively mounted on the X-axis transfer rail 44, the Y-axis transfer rail 45, and the lifting rail 41, and each traction chain 46 is respectively connected to the output end of the X-axis transfer rail 44, the output end of the Y-axis transfer rail 45, and the output end of the lifting rail 41.
[0066] More preferably, such as Figure 2As shown, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the vertical movement of the dispensing needle 400 and the dispensing pump 401 driven by the lifting rail 41 is equivalent to free movement on the Z-axis. Combined with the X-axis transfer rail 44 and the Y-axis transfer rail 45, this achieves X / Y / Z three-axis linkage control. That is, by forming a continuous dispensing trajectory in three-dimensional space, the dispensing needle 400 can perform dispensing operations on any plane or curved surface. The entire dispensing path is automatically planned and executed by the control system without manual intervention, effectively avoiding common defects in traditional dispensing such as glue leakage, glue breakage, and stringing, significantly improving product yield. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a traction chain 46 is connected to the drive components of each axis (i.e., the X-axis transfer rail 44, the Y-axis transfer rail 45, and the lifting rail 41), and each traction chain 46 is connected to the output end of its respective drive component. This traction chain 46 structure enhances mechanical rigidity, preventing vibration or offset caused by load eccentricity, and improving the reliability and stability of the entire machine operation.
[0067] The tightening device 6 includes: a fixed rod 60 and a movable guide sleeve 61. The fixed rod 60 is vertically mounted on the machine base 2, and the movable guide sleeve 61 is movably sleeved on the fixed rod 60; a telescopic cylinder 62 and a tightening component 63. The telescopic cylinder 62 is connected to the movable guide sleeve 61, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder 62 is connected to a reference seat. The tightening component 63 is vertically mounted on the reference seat, and a tightening head 64 for tightening screws is connected to the bottom of the tightening component 63.
[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, when the screw to be screwed in is placed into the tightening head 64, the worker or control system can move the tightening component 63 to the position of the screw to be tightened on the workpiece 11 and the assembly 10 by extending or retracting the telescopic cylinder 62. As the moving guide sleeve 61 slides along the axis of the fixed rod 60, the tightening component 63 (such as a screwdriver) gradually approaches the position of the screw to be tightened, finally tightening the screw in the tightening head 64 onto the workpiece 11 and the assembly 10, completing a precise fastening. This operation can be repeated. After the assembly 10 and the workpiece 11 are securely connected, the adjusting cylinder 551 can lift the support platform 550 away from the transfer plate 35, providing sufficient space for the subsequent unloading of the formed product. It should be noted that the structure and working principle of the tightener 6 in this embodiment can be referenced from the structure of commonly used tighteners 6 in machinery, and will not be described in detail here.
