Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical manufacturing and automation control technology, specifically, it relates to a plasma dispensing integrated device mechanism and a dispensing robot. Background Technology

[0002] In modern manufacturing, especially in industries such as electronic packaging, medical devices, and automotive parts, plasma treatment is often required to enhance the surface activity of the surfaces to be bonded, thereby improving the dispensing bonding effect. Currently, most companies still use separate equipment for plasma treatment and dispensing operations, which suffers from problems such as complex processes, low efficiency, susceptibility to contamination, and large positioning errors, affecting product quality consistency. Therefore, there is a need to design a device that can integrate plasma treatment and dispensing operations to simplify the process, improve processing accuracy, and increase production efficiency.

[0003] Patent document CN203935980U discloses an automatic dispensing machine for robots, including an electrical cabinet, a support frame, and a six-axis robot. The support frame has a worktable, and the six-axis robot is equipped with a dispensing head. The worktable has a dispensing area and a unloading area. Both the dispensing area and the unloading area include a product placement plate, a conveyor motor, a conveyor belt, a pulley mounting plate, and pulleys.

[0030] Detailed Implementation

[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a plasma dispensing integrated device includes a mounting plate 12, which can be installed on the movable end of a six-axis robot, thereby breaking through the limitation of movement direction and having good flexibility. Utilizing the flexibility of the six-axis robot, the device can move and work arbitrarily along the trajectory.

[0033] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the mounting plate 12 can be connected to the six-axis dispensing robot via positioning pins, ensuring accurate positioning and convenient interchangeability. The mounting plate 12 extends circumferentially, forming an extension rod 13 and a non-circular frame 29 for connecting auxiliary structures, ensuring the stability of the mechanism during processing.

[0034] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the irregular frame 29 is equipped with lifting drive structures 3, which are respectively driven by the gas supply system. The lifting end of the lifting drive structure 3 is respectively provided with a plasma treatment module for plasma cleaning or activation treatment of the workpiece surface, and a dispensing module for applying glue to the workpiece, so that the plasma treatment module and the dispensing module can be independently adjusted in the Z-axis direction to meet the needs of workpieces of different thicknesses.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the lifting drive structure 3 includes a color sensor lifting cylinder 22 and a lifting cylinder mounting plate 27. The lifting cylinder mounting plates 27 are fixed to the mounting plate 12 at circumferential intervals, and the color sensor lifting cylinders 22 are arranged in the same direction. The color sensor lifting cylinders 22 are respectively mounted on the lifting cylinder mounting plates 27, and the moving ends of the color sensor lifting cylinders 22 are oriented towards the moving ends of the corresponding six-axis robot. The moving ends of the color sensor lifting cylinders 22 are driven to lift by the gas supply system.

[0036] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the plasma treatment module includes a plasma spray gun 4 and a plasma mounting plate 9. The plasma mounting plate 9 is fixed to the movable end of the plasma lifting cylinder 7. The plasma spray gun 4 is fixed to the plasma mounting plate 9. The plasma spray gun 4 acts on the surface of the workpiece to perform plasma cleaning or activation treatment on the surface of the workpiece, thereby improving the bonding strength of the product.

[0037] like Figure 3, 5 As shown, the dispensing module includes a dispensing head 21 and a dispensing servo 25. The dispensing head 21 is fixed to the movable end of the corresponding drive lifting cylinder 17, and the dispensing head 21 is arranged in the same direction and parallel to the plasma spray gun 4. A glue supply structure is provided on one side of the dispensing head 21 and connected to the end of the dispensing head 21. The dispensing servo 25 is connected between the dispensing head 21 and the glue supply structure, and drives the glue to flow towards the outlet of the dispensing head 21. It is suitable for dispensing tasks with various trajectories such as straight lines, curves, and arcs.

[0038] like Figure 3 , 6 As shown, the plasma processing module and the dispensing module are electrically connected by a control structure that coordinates the working sequence and parameters. The control structure includes a human-machine interface with preset processing parameters, dispensing paths, and alarm prompts. The human-machine interface of the preset control system receives user input parameters and controls the coordinated operation of the plasma spray gun 4 and the dispensing head 21 to achieve a fully automated processing flow. Through multi-path programming, it is suitable for dispensing needs of workpieces with various shapes.

[0039] like Figure 3 , 5 As shown, the glue supply structure includes a glue inlet connector 20 and a glue dispensing valve 18. The glue inlet connector 20 is connected to the glue dispensing head 21. The glue dispensing valve 18 is installed on the glue inlet connector 20 to connect or cut off the liquid in the glue inlet connector 20. A glue tube pressure sensor 24 is installed on the glue inlet connector 20 to measure the glue pressure and ensure that the glue path is smooth and unobstructed.

[0040] like Figure 3 , 6 As shown, a color sensor 1 is installed on the lifting drive structure 3 on one side of the plasma processing module and the dispensing module. Through parameter setting and status monitoring, the product status is identified to prevent secondary dispensing.

[0041] like Figure 3 , 7 As shown, the lifting drive structure 3 on one side of the plasma processing module and the dispensing module is equipped with a detection structure. The detection structure includes a detection camera 6, a camera protective cover 5, and a camera light source 28. The detection camera 6 is installed on the corresponding lifting drive structure 3; the camera protective cover 5 is sleeved on the outside of the detection camera 6; and the camera light source 28 is fixed on one side of the detection camera 6. This allows for the detection of the product status before dispensing, whether the product is placed in place and level, and whether the shape requirements of the dispensing after dispensing are met, as well as the glue width and glue height.

[0042] During use, the operator places and fixes the workpiece on the set work platform. After starting the equipment, the plasma spray gun 4 first treats the surface of the workpiece. After that, the dispensing head 21 starts to perform the dispensing task. The whole process does not require manual intervention, ensuring consistency and stability. The dispensing quality is detected by image detection, so that the production task can be completed with high quality according to the set trajectory in a fully automatic state.

[0043] This embodiment also provides a dispensing robot, which employs the aforementioned integrated dispensing device mechanism.
