[0025] See Figure 1-5This embodiment provides an automatic 3M film application mechanism for friction pads, including a cabinet 1. The cabinet 1 houses a 3M film conveying mechanism and a 3M film suction mechanism. A conveyor belt 2 for conveying friction pads is installed on the front side of the cabinet 1. The suction mechanism includes a suction cup 3, which is movably mounted on a suction cup frame 4. The suction cup frame 4 is mounted on a drive mechanism that moves the suction cup to a corresponding position to suction or apply the 3M film to the friction pad. In this embodiment, the suction cup 3 has three suction ports, the distribution of which can be customized according to the shape and size of the 3M film. The suction cup 3 is a vacuum suction cup.

[0026] The driving mechanism described in this embodiment includes left and right drive motors 5 and front and rear drive motors 6. The suction cup frame 4 is connected to the left and right drive motors 5, which drive it to move left and right. The left and right drive motors 5 are connected to the front and rear drive motors 6, which drive it to move back and forth. Specifically, the left and right drive motors 5 are connected to the suction cup frame 4 via left and right tracks 7. The suction cup frame 4 is movably connected to left and right guide rails 8. The left and right drive motors 5 are mounted on the left and right guide rails 8. The left and right drive motors 5 drive the suction cup frame 4 to move left and right along the left and right guide rails 8 via the left and right tracks 7, that is, the suction cup 3 can move left and right synchronously. The left and right guide rails 8 are connected to the front and rear drive motors 6 via front and rear tracks 9. The left and right guide rails 8 are movably connected to the front and rear guide rails 10. The front and rear drive motors 6 are mounted on the front and rear guide rails 10. The left and right drive motors 5 drive the suction cup frame 4 to move back and forth along the front and rear guide rails 10 via the front and rear tracks 9, thereby driving the suction cup frame 4 to move back and forth, that is, the suction cup 3 can move back and forth synchronously.

[0027] In this embodiment, an anti-stick plate 11 is installed below the suction mechanism, and the conveying mechanism can convey 3M film onto the anti-stick plate 11. A sensing sensor 13 is provided on the anti-stick plate 11 to detect the arrival of the 3M film. After the sensing sensor 13 detects that the 3M film on the anti-stick plate 11 is in place, the suction cup 3 can be activated to suction the 3M film.

[0028] The conveying mechanism described in this embodiment includes a tape support 15 for mounting the 3M film feed roll 14, a recovery support 16 for retrieving the 3M film bottom tape 17 below the tape support 15, and a rotary support 18 for separating the 3M film onto the anti-stick plate 11 and rotating the 3M film bottom tape 17 back to the recovery support 16 on the rear side of the anti-stick plate 11. The 3M film tape 19 of the 3M film feed roll 14 winds back onto the 3M film bottom tape 17 to the recovery support 16 after passing through the rotary support 18. Guide rollers 20 are provided between the tape support 15, the recovery support 16, and the rotary support 18, and the two guide rollers 20 are staggered front to back and top to bottom. The recovery support 16 is connected to a drive motor 21 that drives its rotation to retrieve the 3M film bottom tape 17. A pressure block 12 is provided on the rotary support 18 to cooperate with it in separating the 3M film onto the anti-stick plate 11. When the drive motor 21 is activated, the recovery bracket 16 recovers the 3M film bottom strip 17, and the 3M film roll 19 is conveyed forward to between the rotary bracket 18 and the pressure block 12. Since the front end of the rotary bracket 18 is a pointed structure, the 3M film on the 3M film roll 19 separates from the 3M film bottom strip 17 at the tip. Under the pressure of the pressure block 12, the 3M film can move forward along the anti-stick plate 11 and completely separate from the 3M film bottom strip 17. Since the anti-stick plate 11 is anti-stick, the 3M film is only adsorbed on the anti-stick plate 11, which facilitates the suction cup 3 to pick it up.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cabinet 1 has an upper camera 22 installed above the conveyor belt 2 to photograph the friction pad. The cabinet 1 also has a lower camera 23 installed below the front side of the anti-stick plate 11 to photograph the 3M film. This invention allows the drive mechanism to match the photos taken by the upper camera 22 and the lower camera 23, and then drive the suction cup holder 4 to the corresponding position according to the corresponding instructions for 3M film adhesion.

[0030] In this embodiment, the cabinet 1 is also equipped with a display screen 24, which can display corresponding status information. A light grating 25 is also provided on the front side of the cabinet 1 to ensure operator safety. The conveyor belt 2 passes through the front side of the cabinet 1, and a pressure bar 26 is provided on the inlet side of the conveyor belt 2 to block or allow the friction pads to pass through. The friction pads, after the film is applied, are sent out of the cabinet 1 via the conveyor belt 2. The bottom of the cabinet 1 can also be equipped with casters and support feet.

[0031] In this embodiment, the drive motor, left and right drive motors, and front and rear drive motors are conventional servo motors, and the sensing sensors are conventional sensing sensors.

[0032] This utility model optimizes the operation process, changing the original manual film peeling and application to automatic film peeling, focusing, and application, thereby reducing labor in the production process and improving efficiency.
