Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4

[0023] Example 1 provides a dispensing device for container manufacturing:

[0024] The AGV trolley 10 has moving wheels 12 and a walking motor. The AGV trolley 10 can move by rotating the moving wheels 12 driven by the walking motor. When dispensing glue, the AGV trolley 10 enters the container and moves from the inside to the outside of the container.

[0025] The vision mechanism 30 is used to photograph the container floor and, in conjunction with the image processing module, to provide the dispensing hole position to the dispensing mechanism 40. The vision mechanism 30 includes a bracket 31, and two sets of vision cameras 32 are arranged on the upper end of the bracket 31. The two sets of vision cameras 32 are located above the dispensing mechanism 40, and the shooting range of the two sets of vision cameras 32 can completely cover the container floor.

[0026] There are two sets of dispensing mechanisms 40, which are distributed at the front end of the AGV trolley 10. The dispensing mechanism 40 includes a box 41 and a first robotic arm 42 set on the AGV trolley 10. The front end of the first robotic arm 42 is rotatably connected to a second robotic arm 43. The upper side of the second robotic arm 43 is covered by a cover 44.

[0027] A vertical cylinder 45 is installed on the cover 44. The movable rod of the vertical cylinder 45 passes through the second robotic arm 43 and connects to the dispensing valve 46. The first robotic arm 42 is rotatably connected to the AGV trolley 10. A drive motor is installed on the first robotic arm 42. The drive motor is used for the horizontal rotation of the second robotic arm 43. By rotating the second robotic arm 43, the second robotic arm 43 can rotate, driving the dispensing valve 46 to adjust its horizontal position. This allows the dispensing valve 46, combined with the vision mechanism 30, to move above the dispensing hole on the container floor. Under the drive of the vertical cylinder 45, the dispensing valve 46 is driven to move vertically closer to the dispensing hole.

[0028] A liquid level detector is installed on the glue supply tank 20, and a pressure pump 21 is installed on the AGV trolley 10. The pressure pump 21 is used to pressurize the glue supply tank 20. The glue supply tank 20 is connected to the box body 41 through an inner pipe. The box body 41 is connected to the dispensing valve 46 through an outer pipe. The pressure pump 21 pressurizes the glue supply tank 20, so that the glue can enter the box body 41 along the inner pipe. The outer wall of the box body 41 has a heat insulation layer, and the glue is supplied to the dispensing valve 46 through the outer pipe. When dispensing, the dispensing valve 46 works to discharge the glue to the dispensing point.

[0029] Example 2 provides a dispensing device for container production:

[0030] The AGV trolley 10 has moving wheels 12 and a walking motor. The AGV trolley 10 can move by rotating the moving wheels 12 driven by the walking motor. When dispensing glue, the AGV trolley 10 enters the container and moves from the inside to the outside of the container.

[0031] The vision mechanism 30 is used to photograph the container floor and, in conjunction with the image processing module, to provide the dispensing hole position to the dispensing mechanism 40. The vision mechanism 30 includes a bracket 31, and two sets of vision cameras 32 are arranged on the upper end of the bracket 31. The two sets of vision cameras 32 are located above the dispensing mechanism 40, and the shooting range of the two sets of vision cameras 32 can completely cover the container floor.

[0032] There are two sets of dispensing mechanisms 40, which are distributed at the front end of the AGV trolley 10. The dispensing mechanism 40 is set on the box 41 and the first robotic arm 42 on the AGV trolley 10. The front end of the first robotic arm 42 is rotatably connected to the second robotic arm 43. The upper side of the second robotic arm 43 is covered by a cover 44. The front end of the AGV trolley 10 is equipped with a light 14, which enables the vision mechanism 30 to take a clearer picture of the base plate, thereby accurately providing the dispensing hole position for the dispensing mechanism 40.

[0033] A vertical cylinder 45 is installed on the cover 44. The movable rod of the vertical cylinder 45 passes through the second robotic arm 43 and connects to the dispensing valve 46. The first robotic arm 42 is rotatably connected to the AGV trolley 10. Both the AGV trolley 10 and the first robotic arm 42 are equipped with drive motors. The two sets of drive motors are used to drive the first robotic arm 42 and the second robotic arm 43 to rotate laterally, respectively. By rotating the first robotic arm 42 and the second robotic arm 43, the first robotic arm 42 and the second robotic arm 43 can rotate separately, thereby driving the dispensing valve 46 to adjust its lateral position. When performing dispensing operations, the AGV trolley 10 is in a certain position in the container, which can cover more dispensing holes without having to adjust the AGV trolley 10 multiple times, thus further improving dispensing efficiency.

[0034] A liquid level detector is installed on the glue supply tank 20, and a pressure pump 21 is installed on the AGV trolley 10. The pressure pump 21 is used to pressurize the glue supply tank 20. The glue supply tank 20 is connected to the box body 41 through an inner pipe. The box body 41 is connected to the dispensing valve 46 through an outer pipe. The pressure pump 21 pressurizes the glue supply tank 20, so that the glue can enter the box body 41 along the inner pipe and be supplied to the dispensing valve 46 through the outer pipe. When dispensing, the dispensing valve 46 works to discharge the glue to the dispensing point.

[0035] The glue supply box 20 is equipped with a heater, and the outer wall of the box body 41 is equipped with a heat insulation layer. The heater is used to heat the glue being delivered, thereby reducing the viscosity of the glue, resulting in better glue discharge during dispensing and less glue residue on the dispensing valve 46.

[0036] The AGV trolley 10 has drive cylinders installed on both sides. The movable rod of the drive cylinder is connected to the movable frame 13. The movable frame 13 is equipped with multiple sets of contact guide rollers 11. The AGV trolley 10 has a trough to accommodate the drive cylinders. During operation, the two sets of drive cylinders push the movable frame 13 outward, so that the contact guide rollers 11 on the movable frame 13 contact the inner walls on both sides of the container, which plays a positioning role for the AGV trolley 10 in the container, so that the AGV trolley 10 stays in the middle position in the container when it moves.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] When applying adhesive to a container, the AGV trolley 10 enters the container, leaving just enough space for the adhesive dispensing mechanism 40 to extend. After the vision mechanism 30 identifies the dispensing holes, it controls the adhesive dispensing mechanism 40 to perform the dispensing. After dispensing all the holes at one location, the AGV trolley 10 retreats, allowing the vision mechanism 30 to identify new dispensing holes, until the dispensing is complete. This achieves automatic adhesive dispensing on the container floor, which effectively improves dispensing efficiency and reduces labor intensity compared to manual dispensing by bending over and moving inside the container.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
