Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] This application provides an automatic grease application device for glass lifter guide rails, which can solve the technical problems that manual brush grease application cannot determine whether the grease application area is correct and whether the amount of grease is qualified.

[0024] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this application provides an automatic grease application device for a glass lifter guide rail, which includes: a base 1, a positioning fixture 2, and a grease application mechanism 4. The positioning fixture 2 is located on the base 1 and is used to clamp and position the glass lifter guide rail. The positioning fixture 2 is connected to a flipping mechanism 3 that drives its pitch and flipping motion. The grease application mechanism 4 is located on the base 1 and includes a grease spraying mechanism and a multi-axis robot 5 that drives the grease spraying mechanism to spray grease onto the glass lifter guide rail.

[0025] In this embodiment, the flipping mechanism 3 drives the positioning fixture 2 to tilt and flip, causing the glass lifter guide rail to tilt and flip. The multi-axis robot 5 can be configured as a three-axis robot, a four-axis robot, or a robot with more axes. The multi-axis robot 5 drives the grease spraying mechanism to move in different directions. The multi-axis robot 5 and the flipping mechanism 3 work together to enable the grease spraying mechanism to accurately apply grease to different positions of the glass lifter guide rail.

[0026] In this embodiment, by installing the multi-axis robot 5 on the base 1, the multi-axis robot 5 drives the grease spraying mechanism to apply grease to the glass lifter guide rail. By installing the positioning fixture 2 on the base 1 and setting the flipping mechanism 3 on the positioning fixture 2, wherein the flipping mechanism 3 drives the positioning fixture 2 to pitch and flip, the grease spraying mechanism can accurately apply grease to different positions of the glass lifter guide rail, thus solving the technical problem in related technologies that manual brush grease application cannot determine whether the grease application area is correct and whether the grease amount is qualified.

[0027] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the positioning fixture 2 includes a support member 21, and positioning clamps 22 are provided at both ends of the support member 21. The support member 21 is used to place the glass lifter guide rail, and the positioning clamps 22 are used to clamp and position the glass lifter guide rail on the support member 21.

[0028] In this embodiment, at least one of the glass lifter guide rails is placed on the support member 21. Exemplarily, two glass lifter guide rails are placed on the support member 21, and the two glass lifter guide rails are symmetrically arranged. The positioning clamp 22 is provided on the outer side of each glass lifter guide rail.

[0029] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the positioning fixture 22 includes a clamping cylinder 221, which is mounted on the support member 21. The clamping cylinder 221 is connected to a pressure block 222, and the clamping cylinder 221 is configured to drive the pressure block 222 to lift or lower.

[0030] In this embodiment, the clamping cylinder 221 drives the pressure block 222 to lower, so that the end of the pressure block 222 presses against the glass lifter guide rail. The clamping cylinder 221 then drives the pressure block 222 to lift, so that the end of the pressure block 222 releases the glass lifter guide rail.

[0031] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the positioning clamp 22 further includes a locking block 223, which has a slot for positioning the glass lifter guide rail. The pressing block 222 is located on one side of the locking block 223 to clamp the glass lifter guide rail in the slot.

[0032] In this embodiment, the slot matches the end of the glass lifter guide rail, allowing the glass lifter guide rail to be inserted into the slot. The two pressure blocks 222 clamp the glass lifter guide rail in the slot, thereby positioning the glass lifter guide rail and preventing it from coming out of the positioning fixture 2 during the flipping process.

[0033] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the support member 21 is provided with multiple handles, and the bottom of the support member 21 is provided with multiple support columns.

[0035] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the multi-axis robot 5 is provided with a support frame 6 at its bottom, the support frame 6 is fixed to the base 1, the positioning fixture 2 is provided with a protective frame 7 at its bottom, the protective frame 7 is inserted into the base 1, and the height of the support frame 6 is greater than the height of the protective frame 7.

[0036] In this embodiment, the protective frame 7 is inserted into the base 1 for easy disassembly. The protective frame 7 surrounds the positioning fixture 2 to prevent grease from splashing onto the outside of the protective frame 7 during the spraying process. The height of the support frame 6 is greater than the height of the protective frame 7 to ensure that the multi-axis robot 5 has sufficient moving space above the positioning fixture 2.

[0037] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer side of the protective frame 7 is provided with multiple handles.

[0038] In this embodiment, multiple handles are provided on the outer side of the protective frame 7 to facilitate the removal, placement, and disassembly of the protective frame 7.

[0039] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the flipping mechanism 3 includes a flipping cylinder 31, which is mounted on the base 1. The flipping cylinder 31 is connected to a flipping plate, which is fixed to the positioning fixture 2. The flipping cylinder 31 is configured to drive the positioning fixture 2 to tilt and flip.

[0040] In this embodiment, the number of the flipping mechanism 3 can be set to one, two or more. Preferably, the number of the flipping mechanism 3 is set to two, and the flipping mechanism 3 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the protective frame 7. The two ends of the flipping plate are connected to the flipping cylinder 31. The flipping cylinder 31 drives the flipping plate to rotate, so that the positioning fixture 2 tilts and flips.

[0041] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the multi-axis robot 5 includes an X-axis moving mechanism 51, a Y-axis moving mechanism 52, and a Z-axis moving mechanism 53 that are perpendicularly connected to each other. The X-axis moving mechanism is slidably mounted on the Y-axis moving mechanism 52, and the Z-axis moving mechanism 53 is slidably mounted on the X-axis moving mechanism 51. The Z-axis moving mechanism 53 is equipped with the grease spraying mechanism.

[0042] In this embodiment, the Y-axis moving mechanism 52 is mounted on the support frame 6, the X-axis moving mechanism 51 is mounted above the Y-axis moving mechanism 52, the Z-axis moving mechanism 53 is mounted on one side of the X-axis moving mechanism 51, and the grease spraying mechanism is slidably mounted on the Z-axis moving mechanism 53. The X-axis moving mechanism 51 is configured to drive the grease spraying mechanism to move along the X-axis, the Y-axis moving mechanism 52 is configured to drive the grease spraying mechanism to move along the Y-axis, and the Z-axis moving mechanism 53 is configured to drive the grease spraying mechanism to move along the Z-axis. The movement direction of the X-axis moving mechanism 51 is parallel to the long axis of the glass lifter guide rail.

[0043] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the grease spraying mechanism includes a metering bottle with a grease nozzle located below it. The metering bottle controls the spray volume of the grease nozzle via a metering valve.
