[0023] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1 The end cap gluing equipment shown includes an integrated control and operation module 2 at the bottom of a frame 7. A positioning compatible fixture 1 is mounted on the top of the integrated control and operation module 2, which clamps the end cap 11. A vision module 3 is mounted on the top of the frame 7. A servo transfer mechanism 5 is mounted on the inner wall of the frame 7 along the direction of movement of the end cap 11. A glue supply system 6 is also mounted on the inner wall of the frame 7 perpendicular to the direction of movement of the end cap 11. The integrated control and operation module 2 is electrically connected to the vision module 3, the servo transfer mechanism 5, and the glue supply system 6, and controls the actions of each part through the integrated control and operation module 2. The integrated control and operation module 2 includes control components and an operation touchscreen, employing existing technology.

[0025] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the positioning compatible fixture 1 includes a positioning plate 8, a mounting plate 9, and positioning pins 10. The mounting plate 9 is fixed to the fixture mounting plate 13, which is bolted to the Y-axis servo motion assembly 15 and moved along the Y-axis by the Y-axis servo motion assembly 15 mounted on the frame 7 body. The upper surface of the mounting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 8 and the positioning pins 10 by bolts. The positioning plate 8 is an arc-shaped plate with evenly spaced sections along the circumference, and the top of the positioning plate 8 has a step. The end cap 11 is placed inside the step, and the positioning pins 10 pass through the end cap 11 for positioning. Different step heights use end caps 11 of different diameters, simultaneously compatible with four products.

[0026] The Y-axis servo motion assembly 15 consists of a guide rail, a slider, and a servo drive motor.

[0027] The vision module 3 consists of a camera and a light source. Both the camera and the light source are connected to the main body of the frame 7 by screws. The light source is located directly above the end cover 11, and the camera is arranged in the center of the light source.

[0028] The servo transfer mechanism 5 includes a transfer frame 12 vertically mounted on the frame 7. An X-axis servo motion component 14 is horizontally mounted on the transfer frame 12. The X-axis servo motion component 14 consists of a guide rail, a slider, and a servo drive motor. The slider of the X-axis servo motion component 14 is connected to the guide rail of the Z-axis servo motion component 16. The Z-axis servo motion component 16 is vertically arranged and also consists of a guide rail, a slider, and a servo drive motor. The slider of the Z-axis servo motion component 16 is connected to the valve mounting plate 17.

[0029] A glue valve 18 is vertically fixed on the glue valve mounting plate 17, and the lower end of the glue valve 18 has a glue nozzle 4. The mounting base 19 of the glue supply system 6 is connected to the frame 7. The servo motor 21 is vertically fixed to one side of the mounting base 19 by bolts, and the output shaft of the servo motor 21 is connected to the glue pump 22. The glue supply cylinder 20 is vertically fixed to the other side of the mounting base 19 by bolts. The input end of the glue pump 22 is connected to the bottom of the glue cylinder 20, and the output pipe of the glue pump 22 is connected to the glue valve 18. The servo motor 21 drives the glue pump 22 to draw glue from the glue supply cylinder 20 and deliver it to the glue valve 18 through the pipe. The glue is then applied to the mounting surface of the end cap 11 through the glue nozzle 4 at the bottom of the glue valve 18. Precise quantitative glue supply is achieved by controlling the servo motor 21.

[0030] Glue application process:

[0031] The Y-axis servo motion component 15 drives the tooling mounting plate 13, causing the end cover 11 to move along the Y-axis. The X-axis servo motion component 14 drives the Z-axis servo motion component 16, causing the glue valve 18 to move along the X-axis. The Z-axis servo motion component 16 drives the glue valve 18 to move along the Z-axis, thereby driving the glue nozzle 4 to move according to the set glue application trajectory.

[0032] The working process of this device is as follows:

[0033] Product placement → Equipment startup → Camera takes photos to identify product model and retrieves program → Servo transfer mechanism 5 drives end cap 11 to glue application position → Equipment automatically calls program to complete glue application → Servo transfer mechanism 5 drives end cap 11 back to initial position → Camera takes photos to check glue application quality (error prevention) → End cap 11 is removed from production line.

[0034] The advantages of this device are:

[0035] 1. The system integrates and controls multiple components (vision module 3, servo transfer mechanism 5, glue supply system 6) to achieve automatic glue application and error prevention detection.

[0036] 2. It has the capability of automatic product identification before glue application and quality inspection and error prevention after glue application.

[0037] 3. It has X, Y and Z three-axis servo linkage for transfer, thereby driving the end cap 11 and the glue nozzle 4 to move precisely according to the set glue application trajectory.

[0038] 4. Precise metering of adhesive is achieved by controlling the servo motor, ensuring the stability of adhesive dispensing during the coating process.
