[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides an adhesive coating device, which includes a rotating module and an adhesive coating module.

[0027] The rotating module includes a rotatable tooling 270, which is used to position and fix the product 400. Specifically, the end of the tooling 270 is provided with a positioning groove and a fastener 280. The positioning groove is used to place the product 400, and the fastener 280 is used to restrict the product 400 placed in the positioning groove. The rotatable tooling 270 drives the product 400 to rotate, thereby enabling the glue application module to perform glue application on the product 400.

[0028] The adhesive application module includes a first drive unit, a second drive unit, and an adhesive applicator 340. The second drive unit is disposed on the first drive unit, and the first drive unit can drive the second drive unit to move along the axial direction of the tooling 270. The adhesive applicator 340 is disposed on the second drive unit, and the second drive unit can drive the adhesive applicator 340 to move along the radial direction of the tooling 270. The adhesive applicator 340 is used for surface spraying of the positioned and fixed product 400.

[0029] During the gluing operation, the product 400 is manually placed in the positioning groove. The positioning groove on the tooling 270, in conjunction with the fastener 280, secures the product 400. As the rotating module rotates, the gluing module follows suit. The first drive unit drives the second drive module to move axially along the tooling 270 until the glue applicator 340 is flush with the product 400. Then, the second drive unit drives the glue applicator 340 radially along the tooling 270, bringing its applicator nozzle closer to the surface of the rotating product 400 to be glued. By driving the first drive unit in reciprocating motion, the surface of the product 400 is quickly coated with glue. After gluing, the first and second drive units reset to avoid affecting the unloading of the product 400. The entire device is simple and easy to operate. Simple control enables semi-automatic gluing of the product 400, and it can be adaptively adjusted to suit different products 400 for gluing operations on their outer surfaces.

[0030] In some embodiments, when it is necessary to apply adhesive to different coating surfaces of products 400 with different diameters or different lengths, the displacement of the first drive unit or the displacement of the second drive unit can be adjusted as needed.

[0031] In some embodiments, the fastener 280 is fixed to the outer surface of the tooling 270, and the end of the fastener 280 can enter the positioning groove to press against the product 400 placed in the positioning groove. By pressing against the product 400 with the fastener 280, the product 400 can rotate at a uniform speed with the tooling 270, thereby enabling the glue applicator 340 to evenly apply glue to the surface of the product 400 to be glued.

[0032] In some embodiments, the fastener 280 includes a column and a screw head. The outer surface of the column is provided with external threads, and the tooling 270 is provided with a screw hole that matches the external threads, the screw hole communicating with a positioning groove. For pre-tightening the product 400, the screw head is tightened, causing the column of the fastener 280 to enter the positioning groove and press against the product 400 under the action of the threads, thereby restricting the rotation of the product 400 relative to the tooling 270.

[0033] In some embodiments, the fastener 280 may be a hand-tightening screw.

[0034] In some embodiments, the adhesive applicator also includes a movable platform, a frame 130 on top of the movable platform, a rotating module on top of the movable platform, an adhesive applicator module on the frame 130, and an adhesive applicator 340 above the tooling 270.

[0035] The rotating module and the glue-applying module are placed on a mobile platform to facilitate the turnover of the entire glue-applying equipment.

[0036] The glue applicator 340 has a glue storage chamber. In some embodiments, the glue application chamber of the glue applicator 340 is connected to the glue inlet pipe. In order to make the glue liquid flow out more evenly, the glue storage chamber is also connected to the air pipe. The glue liquid can be evenly flowed out and applied to the surface of the product 400 by air pressure squeezing.

[0037] In this embodiment, the frame 130 includes uprights and horizontal plates, and the adhesive application module is disposed on the horizontal plates.

[0038] The mobile platform includes a frame 100, with casters 120 and vertical support legs 110 at the bottom of the frame 100. When the glue applicator needs to be moved, the support legs 110 are adjusted to be lower than the casters 120. When the equipment needs to be fixed in a certain position, the support legs 110 are adjusted to replace the casters 120 and support the entire frame.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second drive unit includes a second cylinder 310 and a guide rail slider structure 320. The guide rail slider structure 320 includes a cooperating guide rail component and a slider component. The second cylinder 310 and the guide rail component are both fixed to the frame 130. The second drive unit is fixed to the slider component. The cylinder rod of the second cylinder 310 is fixedly connected to the slider component or the second drive unit.

[0040] By setting the guide rail slider structure 320, the extension and retraction movement of the second cylinder 310 becomes closer to a straight line, ensuring the accuracy of the initial position of the applicator 340 for each application. To enable the applicator 340 to adapt to the application length of different product surfaces 400, the extension and retraction length of the cylinder rod of the second cylinder 310 is adjustable. In addition, the guide rail slider structure 320 effectively extends the service life of the second cylinder 310.

[0041] In some embodiments, the rotating module further includes a drive motor 210 and a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the moving platform via a bearing housing. Specifically, one end of the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the moving platform via a first bearing housing 240, and the other end of the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the moving platform via a second bearing housing 260. A tooling component 270 is fixed to the rotating shaft, and the central axis of the tooling component 270 is concentric with the central axis of the rotating shaft. The drive motor 210 is connected to the rotating shaft via a belt drive structure.

[0042] In this embodiment, the belt drive structure includes two pulleys 230 and a belt 220. The motor is hidden inside the moving platform, which has a clearance opening for the belt 220 to pass through. A pulley 230 is mounted on the motor shaft of the drive motor 210. One end of the belt 220 is fitted onto the pulley 230 on the motor shaft, and the other end is fitted onto the pulley 230 on the rotating shaft. The motor, in conjunction with the belt drive structure, drives the rotating shaft to rotate smoothly and at a uniform speed, ensuring that the surface of the product 400 can be evenly coated.

[0043] In some embodiments, the moving end of the second drive unit is provided with an adjustment structure 350, which enables the applicator 340 to be adjusted along the radial direction of the tooling 270. The adjustment structure 350 facilitates fine-tuning of the position of the applicator 340 to accommodate applicator operations on products 400 of different diameters.

[0044] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment structure 350 includes a fixing block 352 and a pressing block 351. After the fixing block 352 and the pressing block 351 are connected, they form a limiting groove for clamping the glue applicator 340. The glue applicator 340 is fixed by the limiting groove.

[0045] Specifically, the second drive unit is the first cylinder 330, the fixing block 352 is fixedly connected to the cylinder rod of the first cylinder 330 by screws, and the pressure block 351 is connected to the fixing block 352 by screws for easy disassembly and adjustment.

[0046] In some embodiments, the pressure block 351 has a first channel on the side facing the fixing block 352, and the fixing block 352 has a second channel on the side facing the pressure block 351. The first channel and the second channel are joined together to form a limiting groove.

[0047] To make operation more convenient, a control box 140 is provided on the frame 100. The control box 140 includes a first button and a second button. The first button controls the tooling part 270 of the rotating module to rotate, and the second button enables the glue application module of the empty box to perform glue application. The semi-automatic glue application operation can be achieved by manually pressing different buttons.

[0048] In summary, the entire adhesive coating equipment has a simple structure and can meet the semi-automatic coating requirements of 400 small batches of products, which can greatly reduce the purchase cost compared to fully automatic adhesive coating equipment.

[0049] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
