Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a dispensing and assembly integrated machine. Background Technology

[0002] In automated production, it is sometimes necessary to connect a first component and a second component using adhesive. When assembling the first and second components, adhesive must first be applied to the first component to apply the adhesive; then, the second component is assembled onto the first component, ensuring a secure connection between them through the adhesive, thus completing the assembly of the first and second components.

[0003] Currently, the dispensing and assembly operations of components are completed on dispensing equipment and assembly equipment, respectively. The first component after dispensing needs to be removed from the dispensing equipment and then moved to the assembly equipment for assembly. This process takes a lot of time to disassemble and install the first component, resulting in low efficiency in assembling the first component with the second component. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application provides an integrated dispensing and assembly machine to improve the efficiency of component assembly.

[0005] This application provides an integrated dispensing and assembly machine for assembling a second component onto a first component. The machine includes a clamping device, a dispensing device, and an assembly device. The clamping device is configured to clamp the first component. The dispensing device includes a dispensing assembly and a moving assembly. The dispensing assembly includes a glue cylinder, a dispensing drive, and a dispensing tube. Both the dispensing drive and the dispensing tube are connected to the glue cylinder. The dispensing drive is configured to discharge glue from the glue cylinder through the dispensing tube. The glue cylinder is located on the moving assembly, which is configured to drive the glue cylinder towards and away from the clamping device. The assembly device is configured to bring the second component into contact with the glue on the first component and assemble it onto the first component.

[0006] After the first component is clamped in the clamping device, the moving component drives the adhesive cylinder closer to the clamping device. Then, the dispensing drive causes the adhesive in the adhesive cylinder to be output from the dispensing tube onto the first component. Next, the assembly device moves the second component to the position of the first component, so that the second component contacts the adhesive on the first component and is assembled onto the first component. Finally, the assembled component is removed from the clamping device. By assembling the first and second components using this dispensing and assembly integrated machine, the first component only needs to be clamped once, saving clamping time and reducing the time required to assemble the second component with the first component, thereby improving the efficiency of assembling the second component with the first component.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the dispensing device further includes a glue removal assembly, which includes a mounting frame, a glue removal belt, a take-up roller, an unwind roller, a rotating member, and a pushing member. The take-up roller and the unwind roller are both rotatably mounted on the mounting frame. One end of the glue removal belt is wound onto the unwind roller, and the other end of the glue removal belt is wound onto the take-up roller. The rotating member is mounted on the mounting frame and connected to the take-up roller, and is configured to drive the take-up roller to rotate. The pushing member is mounted on the mounting frame and is configured to push the glue removal belt so that the glue removal belt contacts the outer wall of the dispensing tube.

[0008] The moving component moves the glue cylinder, causing the dispensing tube to move to the adhesive removal belt. The pushing component then pushes the adhesive removal belt, causing it to contact the outer wall of the dispensing tube. At this time, the rotating component drives the take-up roller to rotate, causing the adhesive removal belt to move relative to the dispensing tube. This allows the adhesive removal belt to wipe the outer wall of the dispensing tube, removing the glue adhering to it. This keeps the dispensing tube clean and reduces the possibility of waste glue adhering to the dispensing tube being output to the first material, thereby improving the cleanliness of the glue output to the first material.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the pushing member includes a pushing drive and two pushing parts. The pushing drive is disposed on the mounting frame, and the two pushing parts are connected to the pushing drive. The pushing drive is configured to drive the two pushing parts to move closer to each other and further away from each other. The two pushing parts are configured to receive opposite sides of the outer tube wall of the dispensing tube, and at least one of the two pushing parts is configured to push the dispensing tape toward the dispensing tube.

[0010] After the dispensing tube moves with the glue cartridge between the two pushing parts, the pushing drive unit drives the two pushing parts to move closer together, causing them to push the adhesive removal tape against the dispensing tube, so that the adhesive removal tape contacts the outer wall of the dispensing tube. The two pushing parts cooperate with each other and abut against opposite sides of the outer wall of the dispensing tube, which improves the stability of the dispensing tube in place and the stability of the contact between the dispensing tube and the adhesive removal tape, thus improving the cleaning effect on the outer wall of the dispensing tube.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the dispensing assembly further includes a sensor, an alarm, and a control. The sensor is connected to the glue cartridge and configured to sense the glue content in the glue cartridge. Both the sensor and the alarm are electrically connected to the control. The control is configured to cause the alarm to issue an alarm message when the glue in the glue cartridge decreases to a predetermined amount.

[0012] When the amount of adhesive in the adhesive cartridge decreases to the predetermined amount, the control unit triggers the alarm to remind the operator to replenish the adhesive in the cartridge in time, thereby ensuring that each first part has sufficient adhesive and improving the yield of the assembled parts.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the dispensing assembly further includes a re-inspection unit, an alarm unit, and a control unit. The re-inspection unit is connected to the adhesive cartridge and configured to detect the position and / or content of the adhesive on the first material. Both the re-inspection unit and the alarm unit are electrically connected to the control unit. The control unit is configured to cause the alarm unit to issue an alarm message when the deviation of the position or content of the adhesive on the first material exceeds a predetermined value.

[0014] After the adhesive is discharged from the dispensing pipe to the first component, the re-inspection unit checks the adhesive on the first component. When the content or position of the adhesive on the first component deviates and the deviation exceeds the predetermined value, the control unit causes the alarm unit to issue an alarm message to remind the operator to remove the corresponding first component in time.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the assembly device includes a fixing component and a transfer component; the fixing component includes a fixing frame, an elastic element, and a fixing member, the fixing member being slidably disposed on the fixing frame along a first direction and configured to fix the second material, the elastic element connecting the fixing member and the fixing frame, the elastic element undergoing elastic deformation when the fixing member moves relative to the fixing frame; the transfer component is connected to the fixing frame and configured to drive the fixing frame closer to and away from the clamping device along the first direction.

[0016] The fixing component secures the second component, and the transfer assembly drives the fixing frame to approach the first component on the clamping device along the first direction, so that the second component approaches the first component along the first direction and comes into contact with the adhesive on the first component. At this time, the second component continues to move toward the first component along the first direction, so that the second component and the first component are firmly connected. At the same time, the elastic component undergoes elastic deformation, which can reduce the magnitude of the force between the second component and the first component, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the first component or the second component due to excessive force.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the fixing member includes a negative pressure suction head, which is slidably connected to the fixing frame along a first direction. The negative pressure suction head is provided with a positioning hole, which is configured to accommodate at least a portion of the structure on the second material.

[0018] The negative pressure suction head can quickly pick up or release the second material, thereby improving the clamping efficiency of the second material. At the same time, the positioning hole can accommodate part of the structure on the second material, which can play a positioning role for the second material, thereby improving the clamping accuracy of the negative pressure suction head for the second material.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the transfer assembly includes a material transfer member and a pressure holding member. The pressure holding member is disposed on the material transfer member and configured to drive the pressure holding member to move along a first direction. A fixed frame is disposed on the pressure holding member and configured to drive the fixed frame to move along the first direction.

[0020] When assembling the second component, the pressure holding component and the fixing component can be moved to the predetermined position by the material transfer component first, and then the fixing component can be driven to continue moving by the pressure holding component, so that the second component moves further toward the first component and is pressure-held, which can improve the stability of the connection between the second component and the first component.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the dispensing device and the assembly device are spaced apart along a second direction. The dispensing and assembly integrated machine also includes a transfer device, and a clamping device is disposed on the transfer device. The transfer device is configured to drive the clamping device to move along the second direction.

[0022] After the first part completes the dispensing operation, the transfer device moves the clamping device to the assembly device for assembly. The dispensing device and the assembly device are spaced apart, increasing their operating space and reducing the possibility of interference between them.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the dispensing apparatus and / or assembly apparatus further include a positioning component configured to position the first material.

[0024] The positioning component is used to position the first part, which can improve the accuracy of dispensing and assembly operations. Attached Figure Description

The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0036] The term “and / or” as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0037] Furthermore, the terms “first,” “second,” “third,” etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] This application provides an integrated dispensing and assembly machine for assembling a second component onto a first component. The machine includes a clamping device, a dispensing device, and an assembly device. The clamping device is configured to clamp the first component. The dispensing device includes a dispensing assembly and a moving assembly. The dispensing assembly includes a glue cylinder, a dispensing drive, and a dispensing tube. Both the dispensing drive and the dispensing tube are connected to the glue cylinder. The dispensing drive is configured to discharge glue from the glue cylinder through the dispensing tube. The glue cylinder is located on the moving assembly, which is configured to drive the glue cylinder towards and away from the clamping device. The assembly device is configured to bring the second component into contact with the glue on the first component and assemble it onto the first component.

[0039] After the first component is clamped in the clamping device, the moving component drives the adhesive cylinder closer to the clamping device. Then, the dispensing drive causes the adhesive in the adhesive cylinder to be output from the dispensing tube onto the first component. Next, the assembly device moves the second component to the position of the first component, so that the second component contacts the adhesive on the first component and is assembled onto the first component. Finally, the assembled component is removed from the clamping device. By assembling the first and second components using this dispensing and assembly integrated machine, the first component only needs to be clamped once, saving clamping time and reducing the time required to assemble the second component with the first component, thereby improving the efficiency of assembling the second component with the first component.

[0040] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiments of this application provide a dispensing and assembly integrated machine 1000 for assembling a second component onto a first component.

[0042] In some embodiments, the dispensing and assembly integrated machine 1000 includes a base 100, a clamping device 200, a dispensing device 300, an assembly device 400, and a transfer device 500. In some embodiments, the dispensing device 300 and the assembly device 400 are spaced apart on the base 100 along a second direction X, the clamping device 200 is disposed on the transfer device 500, the transfer device 500 is disposed on the base 100, and the transfer device 500 is configured to drive the clamping device 200 to move along the second direction X, such that the clamping device 200 switches between the dispensing device 300 and the assembly device 400.

[0043] The clamping device 200 is configured to clamp a first component. After the clamping device 200, holding the first component, moves to the dispensing device 300, the dispensing device 300 is configured to deliver adhesive to the first component on the clamping device 200 for dispensing. After the first component is dispensed, the transfer device 500 drives the clamping device 200 to move to the assembly device 400. The assembly device 400 moves the second component onto the first component on the clamping device 200, so that the second component comes into contact with the adhesive on the first component and is securely connected to the first component through the adhesive, thus completing the component assembly operation. This dispensing and assembly integrated machine 1000 assembles the second component onto the first component, requiring only one clamping of the first component, saving clamping time and reducing the time required for assembling the second component with the first component, thereby improving the efficiency of assembling the second component with the first component.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 The clamping device 200 includes a clamping base 21, which has a plurality of clamping slots 211, and a first material is disposed in a clamping slot 211. It is understood that one first material is disposed in one clamping slot 211, and the clamping slot 211 can position the first material. In some embodiments, a portion of the structure of the first material protrudes outside the device slot.

[0045] In some embodiments, the clamping device 200 may further include an adsorption structure, exemplarily a negative pressure suction cup; the adsorption structure is used to adsorb the first material to further fix the first material. In some embodiments, the clamping groove 211 may be omitted, and the clamping device 200 may further include a gripping structure, exemplarily a pneumatic gripper; the gripping structure is used to grip the first material to fix the first material.

[0046] The transfer device 500 includes a transfer frame 51, a transfer seat 52, and a transfer drive (not shown). The transfer frame 51 is fixedly connected to the base 100. The transfer seat 52 is slidably mounted on the transfer frame 51 along a second direction X via a slide rail. The transfer drive includes a lead screw and a motor. The lead screw is axially arranged along the second direction X, and both ends of the lead screw are rotatably connected to the transfer frame 51. The transfer seat 52 is threadedly connected to the lead screw. The motor is connected to the transfer frame 51, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the lead screw. The clamping seat 21 is fixedly connected to the transfer seat 52. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the transfer seat 52 to move the clamping seat 21, thereby moving the first material on the clamping seat 21.

[0047] In other embodiments, the transfer drive may be a cylinder, a linear motor, or other structural components capable of driving the transfer seat 52 to move.

[0048] In some embodiments, the dispensing device 300 and / or assembly device 400 include a positioning component 31 configured to position a first workpiece. Exemplarily, the dispensing device 300 includes a positioning component 31, which includes a photoelectric sensor 311; the dispensing and assembly integrated machine 1000 also includes a control device (not shown), and the photoelectric sensor 311 and the transfer drive of the transfer device 500 are both electrically connected to the control device. It is understood that the sensing end of the positioning component 31 is positioned towards the portion of the first workpiece protruding from the clamping groove 211 on the clamping seat 21; during the movement of the clamping seat 21 driven by the transfer seat 52, when the sensing end of the positioning component 31 senses the first workpiece, the control device stops the transfer drive, causing the clamping seat 21 to stop moving, thus accurately stopping the first workpiece on the clamping seat 21 at the dispensing device 300.

[0049] For example, when assembling parts, the control device can make the transfer drive run for a predetermined time so that the clamping seat 21 can move the first part accurately from the dispensing device 300 to the assembly device 400.

[0050] In some embodiments, the control device is a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). In other embodiments, the control device may also be a microcontroller or other device with control functions.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The dispensing device 300 further includes a dispensing assembly 32, which includes an adhesive cartridge 321, a dispensing drive (not shown), and a dispensing tube 322. Both the dispensing drive and the dispensing tube 322 are connected to the adhesive cartridge 321. The dispensing drive is configured to discharge the adhesive from the adhesive cartridge 321 through the dispensing tube 322. The adhesive cartridge 321 contains adhesive, and the dispensing tube 322 is located at one end of the adhesive cartridge 321. The other end of the adhesive cartridge 321 is provided with an air inlet pipe 3211. The dispensing drive is an air pipe connected to the air inlet pipe 3211. Exemplarily, the dispensing tube 322 is located at the lower end of the adhesive cartridge 321, with the end of the dispensing tube 322 furthest from the adhesive cartridge 321 facing downwards. Gas is introduced into the adhesive cylinder 321 through the air inlet pipe 3211, allowing the adhesive in the adhesive cylinder 321 to be discharged from the adhesive outlet pipe 322 under air pressure. In other embodiments, the adhesive dispensing drive includes a piston and a cylinder. The cylinder is connected to the adhesive cylinder 321, and the piston is located inside the adhesive cylinder 321. The cylinder drives the piston to move, so that the piston can push the adhesive against the adhesive outlet pipe 322, thereby discharging the adhesive from the adhesive outlet pipe 322.

[0052] The dispensing device 300 further includes a moving component 33, which includes a first moving member 331 and a second moving member 332. The second moving member 332 is disposed on the first moving member 331, and the adhesive cartridge 321 is disposed on the second moving member 332. The second moving member 332 is configured to drive the adhesive cartridge 321 to move along a first direction Z, and the first moving member 331 is configured to drive the second moving member 332 to move along a third direction Y, so that the adhesive cartridge 321 moves along the third direction Y. The first direction Z intersects the second direction X, and the third direction Y intersects the first direction Z; in some embodiments, the second direction X, the first direction Z, and the third direction Y are perpendicular to each other. Exemplarily, the first direction Z is parallel to the straight direction.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first moving member 331 includes a gantry 3311, a sliding frame 3312, and a sliding drive member (sliding drive member). The gantry 3311 spans the transfer frame 51 and is connected to the base 100; the sliding frame 3312 is slidably disposed on the gantry 3311 along a third direction Y via a slide rail; the sliding drive member is disposed on the gantry 3311 and configured to drive the sliding frame 3312 to move along the third direction Y. Exemplarily, the structure of the sliding drive member is substantially the same as that of the transfer drive member, and will not be described in detail here.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second moving member 332 includes a moving frame 3321, a sliding frame 3322, and a moving drive member 3323. The moving frame 3321 is connected to the sliding frame 3312, and the sliding frame 3322 is slidably disposed on the moving frame 3321 along the first direction Z via a slide rail. The moving drive member 3323 includes a drive motor and a drive screw (not shown). The drive screw is rotatably connected to the moving frame 3321 and threadedly connected to the sliding frame 3322. The drive motor is connected to the moving frame 3321, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the drive screw. It is understood that the adhesive cartridge 321 is connected to the sliding frame 3322. In other embodiments, the moving drive member 3323 may also be a cylinder or a linear motor, or other structural components capable of driving the sliding frame 3322 to move along the first direction Z.

[0055] When the first moving member 331 moves the second moving member 332 to the clamping device 200, the moving drive member 3323 drives the sliding frame 3322 to move, so that the glue cylinder 321 is close to the clamping device 200, and the glue dispensing tube 322 is close to the first material. At this time, the glue dispensing drive member makes the glue in the glue cylinder 321 output from the glue dispensing tube 322 to the first material to complete the glue dispensing operation.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first moving member 331 may be omitted, and the moving frame 3321 of the second moving member 332 is connected to the base 100. In other embodiments, the moving component 33 may also be an industrial robot, and the glue cylinder 321 is connected to the robotic arm of the industrial robot.

[0057] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the dispensing assembly 32 further includes a sensor 323, an alarm (not shown), and a control (not shown). The sensor 323 is connected to the adhesive cartridge 321 and configured to sense the amount of adhesive in the cartridge 321. Both the sensor 323 and the alarm are electrically connected to the control, which is configured to trigger an alarm when the amount of adhesive in the cartridge 321 decreases to a predetermined level. In some embodiments, the control is a control device.

[0058] In some embodiments, the sensor 323 is an ultrasonic liquid level sensor, and the sensor 323 is electrically connected to the control unit. It is understood that the sensor 323 is connected to the sliding frame 3322 so that the sensor 323 is connected to the glue cylinder 321; the sensing end of the sensor 323 is positioned facing the glue cylinder 321 to sense the position of the glue level within the glue cylinder 321. It is understood that the sensing end of the sensor 323 is located at the lower end of the glue cylinder 321 and above the glue outlet pipe 322. When the glue level in the glue cylinder 321 drops to the position of the sensing end of the sensor 323, it indicates that the glue level in the glue cylinder 321 has decreased to a predetermined amount. At this time, the control unit causes the alarm to issue an alarm message to remind the operator to replenish the glue in the glue cylinder 321 in a timely manner, thereby ensuring sufficient glue on each first component and improving the yield of the assembled components.

[0059] In some embodiments, the alarm device is an audible and visual alarm. In other embodiments, the alarm device may be a buzzer. In still other embodiments, the alarm device may be a display that shows alarm information via screen or text.

[0060] In other embodiments, the sensing element 323 may be a weight sensor, which is connected to the adhesive cartridge 321 and the sliding frame 3322; the weight sensor can sense the weight of the adhesive in the adhesive cartridge 321 in real time. When the weight of the adhesive in the adhesive cartridge 321 decreases to a predetermined weight, the control element causes the alarm element to issue an alarm message.

[0061] In some embodiments, the dispensing assembly 32 further includes a re-inspection element 324, which is connected to the adhesive cartridge 321 and configured to detect the position and / or content of adhesive on the first component. Both the re-inspection element 324 and an alarm element are electrically connected to a control element, which is configured to trigger an alarm when the deviation of the position or content of adhesive on the first component exceeds a predetermined value. In some embodiments, the re-inspection element 324 is connected to a sliding frame 3322, thereby connecting the re-inspection element 324 to the adhesive cartridge 321.

[0062] In some embodiments, the inspection component 324 is an industrial camera with its camera lens facing downwards for photographing the first component. The control component obtains the positional deviation of the adhesive relative to a predetermined position on the first component by comparing the photograph with standard image data pre-stored within the control component. In other embodiments, utilizing the fluidity of the adhesive, the larger the amount of adhesive, the larger the outline of the adhesive spread on the first component under its own gravity. Therefore, the content deviation of the adhesive on the first component can be obtained by comparing the outline of the adhesive on the first component with the outline of a standard amount of adhesive. It is understood that the standard image data is photographic data taken when the adhesive content on the first component is at a standard value and the position is at the predetermined position. It is understood that a content deviation will occur when the adhesive content on the first component is more or less than the standard value. When the content or position of the adhesive on the first component deviates and the deviation exceeds a predetermined value, the control component triggers an alarm to remind the operator to promptly remove the corresponding unqualified first component.

[0063] In some embodiments, the dispensing assembly 32 further includes a dispensing head 325 and a cooling element 326. The dispensing head 325 is connected to the lower end of the adhesive cartridge 321, and the dispensing tube 322 is connected to the dispensing head 325. The dispensing head 325 has a flow channel inside, through which the adhesive in the adhesive cartridge 321 flows to the dispensing tube 322 and is discharged from the dispensing tube 322. The cooling element 326 is connected to the dispensing head 325 and configured to reduce the temperature of the dispensing head 325. In some embodiments, the cooling element 326 includes a heat-conducting element 3261, a cooling element (not shown), and a heat dissipation element 3262. The cooling element is a semiconductor cooling chip. The cooling end of the cooling element contacts and is fixed to the heat-conducting element 3261. The heat-conducting element 3261 contacts and is fixed to the dispensing head 325 and is connected to the sliding frame 3322. The heat dissipation element 3262 is in contact with and connected to the heat dissipation end of the cooling element. The cooling end of the cooling component lowers the temperature of the dispensing head 325 via the heat-conducting component 3261, thereby reducing the temperature of the adhesive. In some embodiments, lowering the temperature of the adhesive reduces its fluidity, making it easier for the shape of the adhesive delivered to the first component to remain stable, thus reducing the probability of the adhesive flowing to other parts of the first component and affecting the yield of the component. In some embodiments, the heat dissipation component 3262 is a heat sink with a cooling fan. In some embodiments, the heat-conducting component 3261 is a metal block, for example, a copper block.

[0064] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The dispensing device 300 also includes a glue removal assembly 34, which includes a mounting frame 341, a glue removal belt 342, a take-up roller 343, an unwind roller 344, a rotating component 345, and a pushing component 346. The mounting frame 341 is spaced apart from the transfer device 500 along the third direction Y, and is connected to the machine base 100. The take-up roller 343 and the unwind roller 344 are both rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 341. One end of the glue removal belt 342 is wound onto the unwind roller 344, and the other end is wound onto the take-up roller 343. The rotating component 345 is mounted on the mounting frame 341 and connected to the take-up roller 343. The rotating component 345 is configured to drive the take-up roller 343 to rotate. The pushing component 346 is mounted on the mounting frame 341 and configured to push the glue removal belt 342 so that the glue removal belt 342 contacts the outer wall of the dispensing pipe 322. In some embodiments, the rotating component 345 is a motor.

[0065] In some embodiments, the tape 342 is a non-woven fabric. In other embodiments, the tape 342 may be a cotton cloth, a sponge strip, or other structural components capable of wiping away waste adhesive from the adhesive tube 322.

[0066] The first moving part 331 drives the second moving part 332 to move, so that the glue cylinder 321 (see Figure 3 ) drives the dispensing tube 322 (see Figure 3 After moving above the adhesive removal belt 342, the second moving member 332 drives the glue cylinder 321 to move downward, causing the glue outlet tube 322 to move downward to the adhesive removal belt 342. At this time, the pushing member 346 pushes the adhesive removal belt 342, causing the adhesive removal belt 342 to contact the outer wall of the glue outlet tube 322. At this time, the rotating member 345 drives the take-up roller 343 to rotate, causing the adhesive removal belt 342 to move relative to the glue outlet tube 322, thereby causing the adhesive removal belt 342 to wipe the outer wall of the glue outlet tube 322 to remove the glue adhering to the outer wall of the glue outlet tube 322. This keeps the glue outlet tube 322 clean and reduces the possibility of waste glue adhering to the glue outlet tube 322 being output to the first material, thereby improving the cleanliness of the glue output to the first material.

[0067] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the push member 346 includes a push drive 3461 and two push parts 3462. The push drive 3461 is disposed on the mounting bracket 341, and the two push parts 3462 are connected to the push drive 3461. The push drive 3461 is configured to drive the two push parts 3462 to move closer to each other and further away from each other. The two push parts 3462 are configured to abut against the dispensing tube 322 respectively (see...). Figure 3The outer tube walls of the two dispensing sections 3462 are positioned opposite each other, and at least one of the two abutting sections 3462 is configured to push the adhesive tape 342 towards the dispensing tube 322. In some embodiments, the abutting section 3462 is block-shaped; the abutting drive section 3461 is a pneumatic gripper, and the two abutting sections 3462 are respectively connected to the two grippers of the pneumatic gripper. In other embodiments, the abutting drive section 3461 may also be two cylinders, each cylinder being used to drive one abutting section 3462 to move.

[0068] After the dispensing tube 322 moves with the glue cylinder 321 between the two pushing parts 3462, the pushing drive unit 3461 drives the two pushing parts 3462 to move closer to each other, so that the pushing parts 3462 push the adhesive removal tape 342 towards the dispensing tube 322, so that the adhesive removal tape 342 contacts the outer wall of the dispensing tube 322. The two pushing parts 3462 cooperate with each other and abut against the opposite sides of the outer wall of the dispensing tube 322, which can improve the stability of the dispensing tube 322 in maintaining its fixed position, and at the same time improve the stability of the contact between the dispensing tube 322 and the adhesive removal tape 342, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning effect on the outer wall of the dispensing tube 322.

[0069] In some embodiments, the adhesive removal assembly 34 further includes a rotating part 347, which is a rotating shaft and is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 341. The adhesive removal tape 342 includes a wiping part 3421, a winding part 3422, and an unwinding part 3423; both ends of the wiping part 3421 are inserted between two pushing parts 3462, and the wiping part 3421 is sleeved on the rotating part 347; the winding part 3422 is wound on the winding roller 343, and the unwinding part 3423 is wound on the unwinding roller 344; one end of the winding part 3422 away from the winding roller 343 is connected to one end of the wiping part 3421, and one end of the unwinding part 3423 away from the unwinding roller 344 is connected to the other end of the wiping part 3421. The dispensing tube 322 is moved between the two pushing parts 3462, and after the dispensing tube 322 is positioned between the two ends of the wiping part 3421, the pushing drive part 3461 brings the two pushing parts 3462 closer together, so that the pushing parts 3462 push against the corresponding parts of the wiping part 3421 towards the dispensing tube 322, so that the wiping part 3421 abuts against the outer wall of the dispensing tube 322, thereby cleaning the outer wall of the dispensing tube 322. It can be understood that the adhesive tape 342 located between the two pushing parts 3462 has two layers, with the two layers of dispensing tape representing the two ends of the wiping part 3421; the two layers of adhesive tape 342 wipe both sides of the outer wall of the dispensing tube 322, which improves the cleaning effect. Figure 5 The dashed lines in the diagram are used to separate the wiping section 3421, the winding section 3422, and the unwinding section 3423 of the adhesive tape 342. In other embodiments, the dashed lines used to separate the wiping section 3421, the winding section 3422, and the unwinding section 3423 of the adhesive tape 342 can also be dashed lines of the shape of curves or broken lines.

[0070] In some embodiments, the adhesive removal assembly 34 further includes a guide portion 348, which is a rotating shaft and is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 341. In some embodiments, there are two guide portions 348, one of which supports the winding portion 3422 and the other supports the unwinding portion 3423, so that the two ends of the wiping portion 3421 are substantially parallel to each other and the two ends of the wiping portion 3421 are substantially parallel to the opposing sidewalls of the two pushing portions 3462, thereby facilitating the movement of the adhesive removal tape 342 relative to the pushing portions 3462.

[0071] In some other embodiments, the rotating part 347 and the guide part 348 may be omitted, so that there is only one layer of adhesive strip 342 between the two pushing parts 3462. One layer of adhesive strip 342 is used to wipe one side of the outer tube wall of the dispensing tube 322, so that the adhesive liquid removes the waste adhesive adhering to the other side of the outer tube wall of the dispensing tube 322 by its own viscosity.

[0072] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 The assembly device 400 includes a fixing component 41, a transfer component 42, and a feeding component 43. The feeding component 43 is connected to the base 100 and configured to feed a second component to the fixing component 41. The fixing component 41 is configured to fix the second component. The transfer component 42 is configured to drive the fixing component 41 to move from the feeding component 43 to the clamping device 200. In some embodiments, the feeding component 43 is a vibrating feeding plate. In other embodiments, the feeding component 43 may be a conveyor belt structure or other structural components capable of transmitting the second component. In other embodiments, the feeding component 43 may be omitted, and the component may be fed to the fixing component 41 manually.

[0073] The transfer assembly 42 includes a transfer member 421 and a transfer member 422. The transfer member 422 is disposed on the transfer member 421, which is disposed on the base 100. The fixing assembly 41 is disposed on the transfer member 422. The transfer member 421 is configured to drive the transfer member 422 to move along a third direction Y, and the transfer member 422 is configured to drive the fixing assembly 41 to move along a first direction Z. After the fixing assembly 41 fixes the second material, the transfer member 421 drives the transfer member 422 to move from the loading assembly 43 to the clamping device 200 on the transfer device 500. Then, the transfer member 422 drives the fixing assembly 41 to approach the clamping device 200 along the first direction Z, so that the second material comes into contact with the adhesive on the first material on the clamping device 200, and the second material is connected to the first material through the adhesive. Finally, the fixing assembly 41 releases the second material.

[0074] In some embodiments, the structure of the transfer member 421 is substantially the same as that of the first moving member 331, and the structure of the transfer member 422 is substantially the same as that of the second moving member 332, which will not be described in detail here.

[0075] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the fixing assembly 41 includes a fixing frame 411, an elastic member 412, and a fixing member 413. The fixing member 413 is slidably disposed on the fixing frame 411 along a first direction Z and configured to fix the second material. The elastic member 412 connects the fixing member 413 and the fixing frame 411, and the elastic member 412 undergoes elastic deformation when the fixing member 413 moves relative to the fixing frame 411. It is understood that the fixing frame 411 is disposed on the material transfer member 422, so that the material transfer member 422 can drive the fixing frame 411 to move along the first direction Z. As the fixing frame 411 drives the fixing member 413 to move towards the first material along the first direction Z, the second material moves closer to the first material along the first direction Z and comes into contact with the adhesive on the first material. At this time, the second material continues to move towards the first material along the first direction Z, so that the second material is firmly connected to the first material. At the same time, the elastic member 412 undergoes elastic deformation, which can reduce the magnitude of the force between the second material and the first material, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the first material or the second material due to excessive force.

[0076] In some embodiments, the fixing member 413 includes a negative pressure suction head 4131, which is slidably connected to the fixing frame 411 along the first direction Z. In some embodiments, the negative pressure suction head 4131 is provided with an air supply tube 4131a along the first direction Z, the fixing frame 411 is provided with a guide hole 4111 through the first direction Z, the elastic member 412 is a spring, the elastic member 412 is sleeved on the air supply tube 4131a, the air supply tube 4131a is inserted through the guide hole 4111 from bottom to top and is slidably connected to the guide hole 4111 along the first direction Z; a limiting member 4131b is provided at the part of the air supply tube 4131a that extends out of the guide hole 4111, the limiting member 4131b is a spring retainer ring, and the limiting member 4131b is engaged with the air supply tube 4131a. The elastic element 412 is in a compressed state, with its two ends abutting against the negative pressure suction head 4131 and the fixing frame 411, respectively, and the limiting element 4131b abutting against the upper opening of the guide hole 4111. The negative pressure suction head 4131 can quickly pick up or release the second material, thereby improving the clamping efficiency of the second material. In other embodiments, the negative pressure suction head 4131 can be slidably connected to the fixing frame 411 via a slide rail.

[0077] In some embodiments, the negative pressure suction head 4131 is provided with a positioning hole 4131c, which is configured to accommodate at least a portion of the structure on the second material. By accommodating the portion of the structure on the second material through the positioning hole 4131c, the second material can be positioned, thereby improving the clamping accuracy of the negative pressure suction head 4131 on the second material.

[0078] In other embodiments, the fixing member 413 may be a clamping structure; for example, the fixing member 413 may be a pneumatic gripper. In other embodiments, the fixing member 413 may also be other structural members capable of fixing and releasing the second material.

[0079] In some embodiments, the transfer assembly 42 further includes a pressure-holding member 423, which is disposed on the transfer member 422 and connected to the fixing frame 411. The pressure-holding member 423 is configured to drive the fixing frame 411 to move along a first direction Z. In some embodiments, the pressure-holding member 423 is a cylinder. When assembling the second component, the pressure-holding member 423 and the fixing frame 411 can be moved to a predetermined position by the transfer member 422 first, and then the fixing frame 411 can be driven to continue moving by the pressure-holding member 423, so that the second component moves further toward the first component and is held under pressure, which can improve the stability of the connection between the second component and the first component.

[0080] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, multiple transfer devices 500 and clamping devices 200 are spaced apart along a third direction Y, with one transfer device 500 corresponding to one clamping device 200, and each clamping device 200 is located on its corresponding transfer device 500. The dispensing device 300 and the assembly device 400 can respectively perform corresponding dispensing operations or assembly operations on the first parts on different clamping devices 200, which can further improve the efficiency of part assembly.

[0081] In some embodiments, the base 100 is provided with a protective cover (not shown), which covers at least a portion of the structure on the base 100 to prevent dust and accidental injury to operators. In some embodiments, the protective cover covers the clamping device 200, the dispensing device 300, the assembly device 400, and the transfer device 500. In some embodiments, the protective cover has an opening for clamping a first part into the clamping device 200 and adding a second part to the feeding assembly 43; the protective cover has a protective door at the opening for closing the opening.
