Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0030] An automatic silicone grease application device includes a bracket 1 and a grease application component 3 disposed inside the bracket 1. The bracket 1 also includes a silicone grease storage and supply component 2 connected to the grease application component 3, a positioning component 4 disposed on one side of the grease application component 3 for positioning and fixing the grease application material, and a vision unit, which includes a camera module and an image recognition and processing module.

[0031] Specifically, the camera module is used to capture images of the area to be coated with silicone grease. The image recognition and processing module is electrically connected to the camera module and is used to receive the images captured by the camera module and analyze and process the images to identify the location, shape, and size information of the area to be coated with silicone grease.

[0032] Specifically, the silicone grease storage and supply component 2, located inside the bracket 1, stores silicone grease and supplies it to the application component 3. The positioning component 4 is used to fix and position the workpiece to be coated with grease. Then, the application component 3 applies silicone grease to the workpiece. The vision unit plays a crucial monitoring and feedback role in the entire device. It includes a camera module and an image recognition and processing module. The camera module captures images of the area to be coated with silicone grease. This camera module uses a high-resolution industrial camera, capable of clearly capturing detailed information of the area to be coated. The camera is also equipped with a professional optical lens, enabling clear imaging of areas of different distances and sizes to be coated. The image recognition and processing module is electrically connected to the camera module to receive and analyze images captured by the camera module. Based on advanced image recognition algorithms and deep learning technology, this module can quickly and accurately identify the location, shape, and size of the area where silicone grease needs to be applied. Through real-time image analysis, the image recognition and processing module can also monitor the application process in real time. Once uneven application or omissions are found, the relevant information is immediately fed back to the control system. The control system adjusts the working parameters of the adhesive application component 3 in a timely manner based on the feedback information, such as the moving speed of the adhesive application head and the amount of silicone grease supplied, to ensure that the quality of silicone grease application reaches a high standard.

[0033] Specifically, the adhesive application assembly 3 includes a robotic arm 301 fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the bracket 1. The execution end of the robotic arm 301 is fixedly connected to a brush head 302. The silicone grease storage and supply assembly 2 includes a supply pipe 204 fixedly connected to the brush head 302. An electric pump 203 is fixedly connected to one end of the supply pipe 204 away from the brush head 302. An insulated storage tank 202 is fixedly connected to one side of the electric pump 203 away from the supply pipe 204. The insulated storage tank 202 is fixedly connected to the inside of the bracket 1 through a fixing frame 201.

[0034] Furthermore, the positioning component 4 includes a positioning seat 402 disposed on one side of the robotic arm 301. Two sets of sliders 403 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning seat 402. Guide rails 401 are slidably connected to the bottom of both sets of sliders 403. The guide rails 401 are fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the bracket 1. An electric cylinder 405 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the inner cavity of the bracket 1. A positioning rod 407 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric cylinder 405. A fixing sleeve 404 fixedly installed on the side wall of the inner cavity of the bracket 1 is movably sleeved on the surface of the positioning rod 407. The bottom of the positioning seat 402 is provided with a positioning hole 406 that is inserted and engaged with the positioning rod 407.

[0035] Specifically, the workpiece to be coated with glue is fixed on the positioning seat 402, and then the positioning seat 402 is pushed. Through the cooperation of the guide rail 401 and the slider 403, the positioning seat 402 is pushed to the designated position. Then, the electric cylinder 405 on the bracket 1 is activated to accurately insert the positioning rod 407 in the fixing sleeve 404 into the positioning hole 406 of the positioning seat 402, ensuring that the positioning seat 402 has been moved to the accurate processing position, and at the same time ensuring the stability of the positioning seat 402 and the workpiece during the glue application process.

[0036] Specifically, the insulated storage tank 202 on the fixed frame 201 can be used to store a certain amount of silicone grease, and has certain sealing and heat preservation measures to prevent the silicone grease from drying out or deteriorating. At the same time, the electric pump 203 and the feed pipe 204 can stably deliver the silicone grease to the brush head 302. The robotic arm 301 can drive the brush head 302 to move and perform the glue application operation on the workpiece fixed on the positioning seat 402.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using the dynamic brush silicone grease device, the workpiece to be brushed with glue is first placed on the positioning seat 402 of the positioning component 4. The two sets of sliders 403 at the bottom of the positioning seat 402 cooperate with the guide rail 401 fixed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the bracket 1. The positioning seat 402 is pushed manually or by other auxiliary means to slide along the guide rail 401 to the designated position close to the glue brushing component 3.

[0038] Next, the electric cylinder 405 on the inner wall of the bracket 1 is activated. The output end of the electric cylinder 405 pushes the positioning rod 407. The positioning rod 407 passes through the fixed sleeve 404 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bracket 1 and is inserted into the positioning hole 406 pre-opened at the bottom of the positioning seat 402. In this way, the positioning seat 402 is accurately positioned and remains stable during the subsequent glue application process, ensuring that the position of the workpiece will not shift.

[0039] At this point, the vision unit starts working. The camera module uses a high-resolution industrial camera equipped with a professional optical lens to capture images of the area to be coated with silicone grease. The images are transmitted to the image recognition and processing module that is electrically connected to it. This module analyzes and processes the images based on advanced image recognition algorithms and deep learning technology, thereby identifying detailed information such as the location, shape, and size of the area to be coated with silicone grease.

[0040] At the same time, the silicone grease storage and supply component 2 begins to prepare for the application of the adhesive. The insulated storage tank 202, which is fixed inside the bracket 1, uses its sealing and heat preservation measures to store a certain amount of silicone grease to prevent the silicone grease from drying out or deteriorating. The electric pump 203 is started and the silicone grease is stably delivered from the insulated storage tank 202 to the brush head 302 through the supply pipe 204.

[0041] Once everything is ready, the robotic arm 301 begins to move. The robotic arm 301, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the bracket 1, has a brush head 302 connected to its execution end. The robotic arm 301 controls the movement of the brush head 302 according to the information fed back by the vision unit and according to the preset program. During the movement, the brush head 302 evenly applies the silicone grease to the area of ​​the workpiece that needs to be coated.

[0042] During the application of the adhesive, the vision unit works continuously, and the image recognition and processing module monitors the application process in real time. Once uneven application or missed areas are detected, the relevant information is immediately fed back to the control system. Based on this feedback, the control system adjusts the motion parameters of the robotic arm 301 in a timely manner, such as the moving speed of the brush head 302 and the feeding amount of the electronic pump 203, to ensure that the quality of the silicone grease application reaches a high standard. After completing one application operation, if the next workpiece needs to be coated with adhesive, the above process of positioning, vision recognition, feeding and coating is repeated.

[0043] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
