[0024] Example

[0025] like Figure 4 The product shown includes a connecting tube 30 and a straight tube 40, which are connected by adhesive.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-3 A modular tooling integrating automatic dispensing and pressure holding functions includes a dispensing module 10 and a pressure holding module 20. The dispensing module 10 is used to dispense adhesive to the inner wall of one end of the connecting tube 30, and the pressure holding module 20 is used to continuously press the straight tube 40 against the dispensing end of the connecting tube 30 to maintain pressure.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-3 The dispensing module 10 includes a movable first positioning fixture 101, and a dispensing frame 105 is movably mounted above the positioning fixture. Specifically, the first positioning fixture 101 includes a second positioning block with a second positioning groove for placing the positioning connecting tube 30. The first positioning fixture 101 has a support plate at its bottom, and a first slide rail 102 is installed at the bottom of the support plate. The first slide rail 102 drives the first positioning fixture 101 to move linearly in the front-back direction. A second slide rail 103 is installed above the first positioning fixture 101. A vertical third slide rail 104 is slidably installed on the second slide rail 103. A glue applicator 105 is slidably installed on the third slide rail 104. The second slide rail 103 drives the third slide rail 104 to move linearly in the left-right direction, and the third slide rail 104 drives the glue applicator 105 to move vertically up and down. The first slide rail 102, the second slide rail 103 and the third slide rail 104 realize the three-dimensional movement of the glue applicator 105 relative to the first positioning fixture 101. A syringe containing glue is installed on the glue applicator 105 to achieve uniform glue application to the inner wall of the connecting tube 30.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-3 The pressure-holding module 20 includes a vertically downward-pressing cylinder 201, and a second positioning fixture 202 is provided below the cylinder 201. Specifically, the second positioning fixture 202 includes a third positioning block with a third positioning groove. After the glue is applied, the straight tube 40 is manually inserted into the glued position of the connecting tube 30, and then the connected product is moved and placed in the third positioning groove. The pressure-holding module 201 is controlled to press down and push the straight tube 40 and the connecting tube 30 into the third positioning groove. The continuous pushing plays a role in maintaining pressure, making the connection between the support rod and the connecting tube 30 more secure.

[0029] Furthermore, the pressure holding module 20 further includes a fixing plate 203, on which a fixing mechanism is provided. The fixing mechanism includes a base 2031 and a cover plate 2032. The end faces of the base 2031 and the cover plate 2032 facing each other have semi-circular grooves. The cover plate 2032 is hinged to the base 2031 by a hinge. The straight tube 40 is placed in the semi-circular groove of the base 2031, and then the cover plate 2032 is closed on the base 2031. In this embodiment, the cover plate 2032 is a magnet and the base 2031 is iron. The cover plate 2032 presses the straight tube 40 on the base 2031, which plays a fixing role.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
