[0037] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic dispensing device for processing products on a fixture 900. The automatic dispensing device includes a conveying device 300, a dispensing module 200, and a lifting and swinging module 100. The conveying device 300 is used to convey the fixture 900 along a first direction X, causing the fixture 900 to pass through a docking position. The lifting and swinging module 100 is disposed below the docking position and is used to drive the fixture 900 to move between the docking position and the dispensing position. The lifting and swinging module 100 includes a lifting platform 120, a swinging drive unit 130, a lifting drive unit 140, and a lifting... A lifting platform 150 is fixed to the output end of a lifting drive unit 140. The lifting platform 150 is used to support a fixture 900. The lifting drive unit 140 is used to drive the lifting platform 150 to move in the vertical direction Z. The lifting drive unit 140 is rotatably connected to a lifting platform 120 about a second direction Y. A swing drive unit 130 is fixed to the lifting platform 120. The swing drive unit 130 is used to drive the lifting drive unit 140 to rotate about a second direction Y. A dispensing module 200 is used to dispense adhesive onto the product located on the fixture 900 at the dispensing position.
[0039] The conveying device 300 of this automatic dispensing equipment can convey the fixture 900 along the first direction X and guide it through the docking position, realizing the automatic and continuous conveying of the fixture 900 and improving the continuity and efficiency of the dispensing process. The dispensing module 200 can dispense glue onto the product on the fixture 900 located at the dispensing position, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the dispensing operation, thereby achieving efficient conveying and positioning. The lifting and swinging module 100 can drive the fixture 900 to move between the docking position and the dispensing position, thereby satisfying the dispensing effect on the inclined surface of the product and helping to optimize the dispensing process. The lifting drive unit 140 of the lifting swing module 100 is hinged to the lifting platform 120. It can swing relative to the lifting platform 120 through the drive of the swing drive unit 130. In conjunction with the lifting support platform 150 to support the fixture 900, the fixture 900 can be moved stably in the vertical Z direction. This allows the position and angle of the fixture 900 to be adjusted to meet complex dispensing requirements, ensure the stability and accuracy of the fixture 900 lifting process, and achieve multi-angle movement and positioning.
[0040] Specifically, the fixture 900 at the dispensing position and the conveying device 300 are spaced apart. The height direction of the fixture 900 at the dispensing position and the fixture 900 at the docking position form an angle, which avoids the interference of the conveying device 300 on the fixture 900 during the dispensing process. Moreover, changing the angle of the fixture 900 is beneficial to achieving dispensing requirements at special angles, and at the same time, it can make more reasonable use of equipment space.
[0041] In this embodiment, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the vertical direction Z are perpendicular to each other.
[0042] The perpendicularity of the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the vertical direction Z makes the motion structure of the automatic dispensing equipment more regular and reasonable in three-dimensional space, which facilitates control and maintenance and reduces space occupation and manufacturing costs.
[0043] Furthermore, the swing drive unit 130 includes a support 132 and a telescopic drive member 131. The support 132 is fixed on the lifting platform 120. The two ends of the telescopic drive member 131 are respectively hinged to the support 132 and the lifting drive unit 140. The telescopic drive member 131 can extend and retract along its own length direction to drive the lifting drive unit 140 to rotate around the second direction Y.
[0044] The two ends of the telescopic drive member 131 are hinged to the support 132 and the lifting drive unit 140 respectively. It can rotate relative to the two around the second direction Y and can extend and retract along its own length. By extending and retracting the telescopic drive member 131, the swing angle of the lifting drive unit 140 can be finely adjusted, and the swing angle of the lifting drive unit 140 can be further flexibly adjusted, thereby precisely controlling the position and angle of the fixture 900.
[0045] In this embodiment, the lifting swing module 100 also includes a base 110, and the lifting platform 120 is movably connected to the base 110 along the first direction X.
[0046] The lifting platform 120 is movably connected to the base 110 and can move along the first direction X, giving the lifting swing module 100 more room to maneuver in the first direction X. This allows the lifting swing module 100 to better coordinate with the conveying device 300 and the dispensing module 200 according to actual dispensing needs and the position of the fixture 900, thus expanding the working range of the automatic dispensing equipment. The above structure allows adjustment of the horizontal position of the lifting swing module 100 according to actual dispensing needs, enabling the fixture 900 to reach the dispensing position more precisely, improving dispensing quality, and achieving horizontal movement and position optimization.
[0047] Furthermore, the dispensing module 200 includes a dispensing body 210, a movable frame 220, and a dispensing base 230. The dispensing base 230 is fixed to the base 110. The movable frame 220 is movably connected to the dispensing base 230 along the second direction Y. The dispensing body 210 is movably connected to the movable frame 220 along the vertical direction Z. The dispensing body 210 is used to dispense adhesive onto the product on the fixture 900.
[0048] The dispensing body 210 of the dispensing module 200 can move flexibly along the second direction Y and the vertical direction Z in cooperation with the movable frame 220 and the dispensing base 230. Combined with the movement of the fixture 900 in other directions, it realizes dispensing operations on products at different positions on the fixture 900 in three-dimensional space, expanding the dispensing range and improving the flexibility and accuracy of dispensing, adapting to the dispensing needs of different products. The dispensing base 230 is fixed to the base 110, so that the dispensing module 200 and the lifting and swinging module 100 form a relatively stable overall structure, reducing vibration and errors during the dispensing process and improving the stability and accuracy of dispensing.
[0049] For example, the automatic dispensing equipment also includes a cleaning module, which is disposed on one side of the conveying device 300 and is used for cleaning the dispensing body 210.
[0050] In this embodiment, the conveying device 300 includes a fixed-load rail 310 and a movable-load rail 320. The fixed-load rail 310 and the movable-load rail 320 are respectively used to support the two sides of the bottom of the fixture 900. The movable-load rail 320 can move relative to the fixed-load rail 310 along the second direction Y.
[0051] The fixed-load rail 310 and the moving-load rail 320 of the conveying device 300 respectively support the bottom sides of the fixture 900. The moving-load rail 320 can move relative to the fixed-load rail 310 along the second direction Y. The bearing spacing can be adjusted according to the size of different fixtures 900, which enhances the adaptability of the automatic dispensing equipment to different specifications of fixtures 900.
[0052] Furthermore, the fixed load rail 310 is provided with a drive screw extending along the second direction Y, and the moving load rail 320 is provided with a nut slide. The drive screw is threadedly connected to the nut slide and is used to drive the moving load rail 320 to move along the second direction Y.
[0053] The drive screw on the fixed load rail 310 and the nut slide on the moving load rail 320 are threaded together, which enables the moving load rail 320 to move and position precisely relative to the fixed load rail 310, ensuring the positional accuracy of the fixture 900 during the transmission process and providing an accurate positioning basis for subsequent dispensing operations.
[0054] In this embodiment, the swing drive unit 130 drives the lifting drive unit 140 to rotate around the second direction Y by an angle of 30° to 60°.
[0055] The swing drive unit 130 drives the lifting drive unit 140 to rotate around the second direction Y at an angle between 30° and 60°. This allows adjustment of the fixture 900's tilt angle according to the dispensing requirements of different products, facilitating adhesive flow and adhesion and optimizing the dispensing effect. This limited angle range enables the dispensing module 200 to achieve a better operating field of view and dispensing effect during the dispensing process, ensuring better adhesive adhesion to the product while preventing adhesive from flowing or accumulating due to an inappropriate angle, thus improving dispensing quality and efficiency.
[0056] In this embodiment, a first push drive unit is provided on the dispensing base 230. The output end of the first push drive unit is connected to the movable frame 220, which drives the movable frame 220 to move relative to the dispensing base 230 in the second direction Y. A second push drive unit is provided on the movable frame 220. The output end of the second push drive unit is connected to the dispensing body 210, which drives the dispensing body 210 to move relative to the movable frame 220 in the vertical direction Z. Specifically, the first push drive unit, the second push drive unit, the swing drive unit 130, and the lifting drive unit 140 are all cylinders.
[0057] For example, the automatic dispensing equipment also includes a worktable 800 and a control device 700. The control device 700, the conveying device 300, and the lifting and swinging module 100 are all mounted on the worktable 800. The control device 700 is communicatively connected to the dispensing module 200 and the lifting and swinging module 100, respectively, to control the operation of the dispensing module 200 and the lifting and swinging module 100. Specifically, the base 110 is fixed to the top surface of the worktable 800.
[0058] The control device 700 is communicatively connected to the dispensing module 200 and the lifting and swinging module 100, and both are located on the workbench 800. Operators can centrally control the dispensing module 200 and the lifting and swinging module 100 through the control device 700, conveniently set and adjust dispensing parameters and lifting actions, and improve the convenience of operation and the degree of automation of the equipment.
[0059] In this embodiment, the automatic dispensing equipment also includes a detection module, which is disposed on one side of the dispensing module 200 and is used to detect the product on the fixture 900. The detection module includes a vision detection unit, an NG cylinder, and an NG flow channel. The conveying device 300 includes a detection position, with the vision detection unit located above the detection position, the NG cylinder located on one side of the detection position, and the NG flow channel located on the other side of the detection position. The vision detection unit is used to detect the dispensing status of the product on the fixture 900. If the product is detected as defective, the NG cylinder pushes the fixture 900 from the detection position onto the NG flow channel. If the product is detected as good, the conveying device 300 continues to drive the fixture 900 to be conveyed along the first direction X.
[0060] In this embodiment, the product is a wireless Bluetooth headset. In other embodiments of this embodiment, the product may be other components that require surface adhesive application.
[0061] The automatic dispensing equipment transforms existing manual dispensing machines into fully automatic dispensing and curing modules through a conveyor device 300. The loading equipment is controlled by the operator; after assembling the sound guide tube, the fixture 900 containing the product is manually placed into the conveyor device 300. The fixture 900 flows into the automatic dispensing equipment. After visual guidance and confirmation, the dispensing module 200 applies moisture-absorbing adhesive for five seconds, after which it flows into the CCD self-inspection adhesive path for dispensing quality inspection. Products that pass dispensing flow into the pressure holding equipment for pressure holding and curing. This automatic dispensing equipment is applicable to any three-axis work platform (including dispensing machines and welding machines), enabling fully automated operation that is convenient and fast.
