Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of production and assembly technology of machinery, and specifically relates to an auxiliary tooling for applying adhesive. Background Technology

[0002] In assembly lines, a large amount of threadlocker is used for applying adhesive to bolts. Threadlocker is an adhesive used to prevent loosening of threaded connections. When applying threadlocker to bolts, one hand gently presses the adhesive dispenser to squeeze out the adhesive evenly, while simultaneously moving the applicator up and down to apply the adhesive to the desired threads. The other hand rotates the bolt one full turn to complete the application for one bolt. This process is repeated for all bolts. Currently, the traditional method of manually applying threadlocker to a single bolt is inefficient, requiring both hands to perform three actions simultaneously, demanding high skill levels. Furthermore, with a large number of bolts, manual operation can easily lead to fatigue. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide an auxiliary tooling for applying glue, so as to solve the technical problem of low efficiency in manual glue application.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides an adhesive application auxiliary tooling for applying adhesive to threaded parts, wherein the threaded parts include a head, a shank, and a threaded portion connected in sequence, comprising:

[0005] A glue box containing adhesive liquid, the glue box having multiple slots for the threaded part to be inserted;

[0006] A clamping plate assembly for clamping the head, the distance between the clamping plate assembly and the plastic box being adjustable;

[0007] The support frame is used to support the clamping plate assembly after the threaded portion is soaked in adhesive, so that the threaded portion can be disengaged from the adhesive box and the adhesive can be controlled.

[0008] In some embodiments, the adhesive box is provided with a placement plate, and the placement plate has a plurality of slots, the threaded portion of which can pass through the slots and be immersed in the adhesive liquid.

[0009] In some embodiments, the adhesive application auxiliary fixture further includes a base, on which both the adhesive box and the support frame are disposed, and the support frame is multiple and located on the outer periphery of the adhesive box.

[0010] In some embodiments, the clamping plate assembly includes a lower clamping plate, a gasket is provided on the outer periphery of the head, and a through hole is provided on the lower clamping plate for the rod to move through, wherein the outer diameter of the gasket is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole.

[0011] In some embodiments, the number of through holes and the slots are the same and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0012] In some embodiments, the lower clamping plate has clearance strip holes at both ends along its length, the clearance strip holes extend along its width, the top end of the support frame is bent toward one side of the plastic box, and the top surface of the support frame has a support groove for supporting the lower clamping plate.

[0013] In some embodiments, the clamping plate assembly further includes an upper clamping plate for applying a compressive force to the end of the head opposite to the threaded portion.

[0014] In some embodiments, the adhesive application auxiliary tooling further includes a first slide rail, a second slide rail, and a scraper. The first slide rail is disposed on the base and extends along the length direction. The second slide rail is slidably disposed on the first slide rail and extends along the height direction. The scraper extends along the width direction and is slidably disposed on the second slide rail. The movement of the scraper on the second slide rail is used to scrape off the adhesive at the end of the threaded portion away from the head.

[0015] In some embodiments, the base is further provided with a height adjustment component, which is detachably connected between the base and the lower clamping plate, and is used to adjust the distance between the lower clamping plate and the plastic box.

[0016] In some embodiments, the number of height adjustment elements is multiple and they are distributed around the perimeter of the plastic box.

[0017] The above technical solution involves a glue box containing adhesive and multiple slots for threaded parts to be inserted. A clamping assembly is used to clamp the head, and the distance between the clamping assembly and the glue box is adjustable. After the threaded part is fully soaked in adhesive, a support frame supports the clamping assembly, allowing the threaded part to detach from the glue box and control the adhesive application. In this application, when applying adhesive to threaded parts, it is only necessary to simultaneously insert the threaded parts of multiple threaded parts into the slots of the glue box to complete the application. After application, adjusting the distance between the clamping assembly and the glue box allows the threaded part to detach from the box, and the support frame supports the clamping assembly to control the adhesive application. The entire application process is simple and convenient, improving work efficiency.

[0026] Detailed Implementation

[0027] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0028] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes the adhesive application auxiliary tooling according to this application.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides an adhesive application auxiliary tooling for applying adhesive to threaded parts 40, wherein, as Figure 5 As shown, the threaded part 40 includes a head 42, a rod 44, and a threaded part 41 connected in sequence. The glue application auxiliary tooling includes a glue box 10, a clamping plate assembly 20, and a support frame 30. The glue box 10 contains glue and has multiple slots for the threaded part 41 to be inserted. The clamping plate assembly 20 is used to clamp the head 42, and the distance between the clamping plate assembly 20 and the glue box 10 is adjustable. After the threaded part 41 is soaked in glue, the support frame 30 is used to support the clamping plate assembly 20 so that the threaded part 41 can be disengaged from the glue box 10 and glue can be controlled.

[0030] In this embodiment, the threaded component 40 can be a bolt, and the adhesive can be threadlocker, applied to the outer peripheral wall of the bolt's external thread. This process is also applicable to threaded components 40 with other structural forms. When applying adhesive to the threaded component 40, this application only requires simultaneously placing the threaded portions 41 of multiple threaded components 40 into the slots of the adhesive box 10 to complete the application. After application, adjusting the distance between the clamping plate assembly 20 and the adhesive box 10 allows the threaded portions 41 to disengage from the adhesive box 10. The support frame 30 then supports the clamping plate assembly 20, achieving adhesive control. The entire application process is simple and convenient, improving operational efficiency.

[0031] In some embodiments, the glue box 10 is provided with a placement plate, which has multiple slots. The threaded portion 41 can pass through the slots and be immersed in the glue. The slots are of the slot-hole type and are filled with glue. Before applying the glue, glue is added to the glue box 10, and after adjusting the height of the placement plate, simply place the threaded portion 41 of each threaded component 40 into the corresponding slot. This allows the threaded portion 41 to pass through the slot and be immersed in the glue, thus completing the glue application. The operation is simple and quick.

[0032] In some embodiments, the adhesive application auxiliary fixture also includes a base 70, with the adhesive box 10 and support frame 30 both mounted on the base 70. Multiple support frames 30 are located on the outer periphery of the adhesive box 10. In this embodiment, by mounting the adhesive box 10 and support frame 30 on the base 70, a stable working environment can be provided for the entire adhesive application process. This enables bolt adhesive application, adhesive control, and flipping operations, facilitating subsequent transfer, temporary storage, and inspection. It solves the problems of significant threadlocker waste and inconvenient transfer after traditional adhesive application operations.

[0033] In some embodiments, the clamping plate assembly 20 includes a lower clamping plate 22, with a gasket 43 on the outer periphery of the head 42. The lower clamping plate 22 has a through hole through which the rod portion 44 moves. The outer diameter of the gasket 43 is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole. When applying adhesive to the threaded component 40, the distance between the lower clamping plate 22 and the adhesive box 10 is adjusted to a suitable distance. The rod portion 44 of each threaded component 40 passes through a through hole. Because the outer diameter of the gasket 43 of the threaded component 40 is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole, the gasket 43, connected to the head 42, is positioned above the lower clamping plate 22, thus providing a limiting effect on the threaded component 40. The threaded portion 41 of the threaded component 40 is immersed in the corresponding slot for adhesive application. Through the above design, while ensuring that multiple threaded components 40 are applied adhesive simultaneously, the stability of the threaded components 40 during the adhesive application process can be guaranteed, preventing shaking or tipping.

[0034] In some embodiments, the number of through holes and slots are the same and arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. In this embodiment, by setting a placement plate inside the glue box 10, and opening multiple slots on the placement plate, the multiple slots correspond to the positions of the through holes on the lower clamping plate 22. The lower clamping plate 22 clamps the head 42 of the threaded part 40, and the threaded part 41 is immersed in the glue. In this way, during operation, the glue only needs to fill the slots to meet the simultaneous glue application work of multiple threaded parts 40, which increases the efficiency by more than three times. Moreover, it solves the problem that the glue at the bottom of the traditional container is easy to solidify, affecting the quality of the glue.

[0035] In some embodiments, the lower clamping plate 22 has clearance strip holes 221 at both ends along the length direction, the clearance strip holes 221 extend along the width direction, the top end of the support frame 30 is bent toward the side of the plastic box 10, and the top surface of the support frame 30 has a support groove 31 for supporting the lower clamping plate 22.

[0036] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, after the threaded part 41 is coated with adhesive, the lower clamping plate 22 is manually lifted. During lifting, it can be slightly tilted to prevent interference from the surrounding support frames 30. Once the lower clamping plate 22 is positioned above the support frames 30, it is placed horizontally in the support grooves 31 of the support frames 30. This allows the top surfaces of the four support frames 30 to support the lower clamping plate 22. At this point, the threaded part 41 is detached from the adhesive box 10, allowing for adhesive control operations above the adhesive box 10. During adhesive control, by bending the top surfaces of all four support frames 30 inwards, sufficient stable support force can be provided to the lower clamping plate 22. Multiple threaded parts 40 can be controlled for adhesive simultaneously, and any dropped adhesive can directly enter the adhesive box 10, improving efficiency and saving costs.

[0037] In some embodiments, the adhesive application auxiliary tooling further includes a first slide rail 51, a second slide rail 52, and a scraper 53. The first slide rail 51 is disposed on the base 70 and extends along the length direction. The second slide rail 52 is slidably disposed on the first slide rail 51 and extends along the height direction. The scraper 53 extends along the width direction and is slidably disposed on the second slide rail 52. The movement of the scraper 53 on the second slide rail 52 is used to scrape off the adhesive at the end of the threaded portion 41 away from the head 42.

[0038] In this embodiment, by designing the first slide rail 51 and the second slide rail 52 and the cooperation with the scraper 53, it can be used to clean the excess thread adhesive on the head 42 of the threaded part 40. Since the head 42 is hardly subjected to load during the assembly process, cleaning the adhesive on the head 42 can save adhesive while ensuring the assembly quality and reducing the cost of applying adhesive. Specifically, the first slide rail 51 is located on the first side of the base 70 along the width direction. Before scraping the adhesive at the bottom of the threaded part 41, the second slide rail 52 is located at the first end of the first slide rail 51 along the length direction. At this time, the scraper 53 is located at the first end of the adhesive box 10 along the length direction. When scraping begins, the position of the scraper 53 is adjusted in the height direction so that the scraper 53 descends to the bottom position of the threaded part 41. As the second slide rail 52 moves on the first slide rail 51, it can drive the scraper 53 to move along the length direction. At this time, since the scraper 53 is in contact with the bottom end face of the threaded part 41, the adhesive remaining on the bottom end face of the threaded part 41 can be scraped off during the movement. In addition, excess thread adhesive can be returned to the adhesive box, saving adhesive and reducing the cost of applying adhesive while ensuring assembly quality.

[0039] In some embodiments, the clamping plate assembly 20 further includes an upper clamping plate 21, which applies a pressing force to the end of the head 42 facing away from the threaded portion 41. After the adhesive application to the threaded portion 41 is completed, the upper clamping plate 21 is placed on the head 42 of the threaded part 40, and a downward force is applied to the head 42 by the upper clamping plate 21 to prepare for adhesive scraping. After adhesive scraping is completed, the operator can hold the upper clamping plate 21 and the lower clamping plate 22 with both hands, rotate the adhesive-coated threaded part 40 and the two clamping plates 180 degrees together, and then place it on a flat surface; finally, the lower clamping plate 22 is removed, as shown in the image. Figure 5 As shown, the threaded part 40, after being coated with adhesive, is transferred to the installation area via the upper clamping plate 21, awaiting the next process. This application, by providing a support frame 30 on the base 70 to support the lower clamping plate 22 and a double-layer clamping plate structure, enables adhesive control and flipping of the threaded part 40 after adhesive application, facilitating subsequent manual operations and inspection. This method is economical and convenient.

[0040] In some embodiments, the base 70 is also provided with a height adjustment member 60, which is detachably connected between the base 70 and the lower clamping plate 22. The height adjustment member 60 is used to adjust the distance between the lower clamping plate 22 and the plastic box 10.

[0041] The adjusting component can be an adjusting screw. Before applying adhesive to the threaded part 40, the height between the lower clamping plate 22 and the adhesive box 10 is adjusted to a preset height, allowing the rod 44 of the threaded part 40 to move through the lower clamping plate 22, and the threaded part 41 to be completely submerged in the adhesive in the groove. The adjusting component serves both to support the lower clamping plate 22 and to adjust its height. By adjusting the distance between the lower clamping plate 22 and the adhesive box 10, the adhesive application of threaded parts 40 of different lengths can be accommodated, improving the versatility of the tooling.

[0042] In addition, in order to improve the clamping stability of the lower clamping plate 22 for the threaded part 40, there are multiple height adjustment parts 60 distributed around the perimeter of the rubber box 10. The four corners of the lower clamping plate 22 are supported by the cooperation of multiple height adjustment parts 60, making the lower clamping plate 22 more stable.
