[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following embodiments will be used to further describe this utility model in detail.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an adhesive coating device according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, flange 1 includes a first flange and a second flange arranged opposite to each other along the Y-axis. The flange end faces include the first flange end face of the first flange and the second flange end face of the second flange. The adhesive application equipment includes a workpiece fixing table 5, which is suitable for mounting the workpiece in an orientation where the flange end faces are placed along the X-axis and Z-axis planes. The adhesive application equipment is provided with a first vertical guide rail 7 along the Z-axis direction and a first horizontal guide rail 9 along the Y-axis direction. The adhesive application equipment also includes a first operating part, which is configured to be connected to a first driving mechanism 11 to move up and down along the first vertical guide rail 7 under the drive of the first driving mechanism 11. The first operating part is also configured to be connected to a second driving mechanism 13 to move horizontally along the first horizontal guide rail 9 under the drive of the second driving mechanism 13. The first operating part is provided with a first rotating mechanism and a first adhesive application mechanism. The first rotating mechanism is configured to move with the first operating part to the top of the first flange to drive the workpiece to rotate, and the first adhesive application mechanism is configured to move with the first operating part to the end face of the first flange to apply adhesive to the end face of the first flange.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the workpiece includes a first flange and a second flange arranged opposite to each other. The first flange includes a first flange end face along the Y-axis and Z-axis planes, and the second flange includes a second flange end face along the Y-axis and Z-axis planes. The device in this embodiment is used to apply adhesive to at least one end face of the first flange end face and the second flange end face. In this embodiment, a metal frame is provided, and the workpiece fixing table 5 is horizontally arranged in the middle part of the frame along the Y-axis direction. The metal frame includes a first support and a second support arranged vertically. A first vertical guide rail 7 is arranged along the first support and the second support, and a second vertical guide rail is arranged along the second support. The adhesive application device also includes a first end plate 41, which is connected to a first drive mechanism 11 to move up and down along the first vertical guide rail 7 under the drive of the first drive mechanism 11. A first horizontal guide rail 9 for the horizontal movement of the first operating part is installed on the first end plate 41. The first operating part is mounted on the first horizontal guide rail 9 through a second end plate 42. The second end plate 42 is connected to the second drive mechanism 11. The first driving mechanism 11 is connected to the second driving mechanism 13 to move horizontally along the first horizontal guide rail 9 under the drive of the second driving mechanism 13. The first driving mechanism 11 is, for example, a driving mechanism connected to an electric cylinder and its driving rod, and the second driving mechanism 13 is, for example, a driving mechanism with a motor and gear structure. It should be noted that the first driving mechanism 11 and the second driving mechanism 13 are mechanical structures that can be implemented by those skilled in the art without creative effort, and will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can also select other different types of driving structures as needed to achieve the purpose of driving the first operating part to move along the Z-axis and Y-axis in this utility model embodiment. Such modifications do not require creative effort. The first operating part also includes other fixing parts such as end plates and brackets. A first rotating mechanism and a first gluing mechanism are installed at the lower end of the first operating part, which are used to drive the workpiece to rotate and to apply glue to the end face of the first flange, respectively. Before applying glue, the first rotating mechanism moves to the top of the circumferential end face of the first flange, thereby contacting its circumferential end face to drive the workpiece, and the first gluing mechanism is moved to the position corresponding to the end face of the first flange to apply glue.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the first rotating mechanism includes a first driving wheel 15 and a second driving wheel 17. The first driving wheel 15 is configured to be connected to a first motor 20 to rotate under the drive of the first motor 20, and the second driving wheel 17 is configured to rotate under the drive of the first driving wheel 15.

[0031] A first motor 20 drives a first drive wheel 15. The first drive wheel 15 and the second drive wheel 17 employ a master-slave drive structure, allowing the first drive wheel 15 to drive the second drive wheel 17 to rotate, thereby driving the workpiece. This drive structure maintains more stable rotation of the workpiece. Preferably, the first drive wheel 15 and the second drive wheel 17 are located symmetrically on opposite sides of the circumferential end face of the first flange along the X-axis.

[0032] In another possible implementation, a first glue bucket flange 22 with a diameter smaller than that of the first flange is fitted onto the end face of the first flange; the first operating part is also provided with a first actuating mechanism 24, which is configured to move to the top of the first glue bucket flange 22 and be inserted between the first glue bucket flange 22 and the end face of the first flange under the drive of the third driving mechanism.

[0033] Figure 2 This is an enlarged structural schematic diagram of part A of the adhesive coating device according to another embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first glue-applying mechanism and the first actuating mechanism 24 of the glue-applying equipment according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first operating unit is also equipped with a third driving mechanism (not shown). The driving end of the third driving mechanism is connected to the third end plate 43. The first operating unit is also equipped with a third end plate moving guide rail 45. When the third end plate 43 moves up and down along the third end plate moving guide rail 45 under the driving action of the third driving mechanism, the first actuating mechanism can first reach the upper edge of the first glue bucket flange 22 and continue to insert downward between the first glue bucket flange 22 and the first flange end face, thereby forming a gap between the two. At this time, the first glue outlet 26 then dispenses glue. The third driving mechanism can be an electric cylinder; the first actuating mechanism is, for example, a plate-like structure to be bent at an angle.

[0034] Based on the above, the first glue application mechanism includes a first glue outlet 26, which is also fixed to the third end plate 43. This allows it to move up and down along the third end plate moving guide rail 45 under the drive of the third drive mechanism, thereby adjusting the first glue outlet 26 to the position of the first flange end face below the circumferential end face of the first flange for glue application.

[0035] In another possible implementation of this utility model, the adhesive coating equipment is further provided with a second vertical guide rail parallel to the first vertical guide rail 7, a second horizontal guide rail parallel to the first horizontal guide rail 9, a second operating part, a fourth driving mechanism, and a fifth driving mechanism. The second operating part is configured to be connected to the fourth driving mechanism to move up and down along the second vertical guide rail under the drive of the fourth driving mechanism. The second operating part is also configured to be connected to the fifth driving mechanism to move horizontally along the second horizontal guide rail under the drive of the fifth driving mechanism. The second operating part is provided with a second rotating mechanism and a second adhesive coating mechanism. The second rotating mechanism is configured to move with the second operating part to the top of the second flange to drive the workpiece to rotate. The second adhesive coating mechanism is configured to move with the second operating part to the end face of the second flange to apply adhesive to the end face of the second flange.

[0036] Based on this embodiment, a second operating unit, a second rotating mechanism, and a second adhesive application mechanism are provided to apply adhesive to the flange end face of the second flange at the other end of the workpiece. It should be noted that the first flange and the second flange mentioned above refer to two opposite flanges in the workpiece and are interchangeable.

[0037] In the above embodiments, the second horizontal guide rail and the first horizontal guide rail 9 can be the same guide rail.

[0038] Based on the above embodiments, in another possible implementation, the second rotating mechanism includes a third driving wheel and a fourth driving wheel. The third driving wheel is configured to be connected to a second motor to rotate under the drive of the second motor, and the fourth driving wheel is configured to be able to rotate under the drive of the third driving wheel.

[0039] Through this embodiment, similar to the first rotating mechanism, the workpiece can be driven to rotate from the second flange side, and then glue can be applied in conjunction with the second glue application mechanism.

[0040] In another possible implementation, a second glue bucket flange with a diameter smaller than that of the second flange is fitted onto the end face of the second flange; the second operating part is also provided with a second toggle mechanism, which is connected to the sixth drive mechanism and is configured to move to the top of the second glue bucket flange under the drive of the sixth drive mechanism to insert between the second glue bucket flange and the end face of the second flange.

[0041] The structure of this embodiment can also be set with reference to the first actuating mechanism 24, the third driving mechanism, and the connection structure between the two.

[0042] In another embodiment, the second adhesive applicator includes a second adhesive outlet, which is connected to the sixth drive mechanism and configured to move between the second glue bucket flange and the second flange end face under the drive of the sixth drive mechanism to apply adhesive.

[0043] In the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can, as needed, configure the second operating part, the second rotating mechanism, the second gluing mechanism, the second actuating mechanism, the fourth driving mechanism, the fifth driving mechanism, the sixth driving mechanism, and the first motor 20 to have the same mechanical structure or equipment type as the first operating part, the first rotating mechanism, the first gluing mechanism, the first actuating mechanism 24, the first driving mechanism 11, the second driving mechanism 13, the third driving mechanism, and the second motor. Alternatively, the first driving mechanism 11 and the fourth driving mechanism can use the same mechanism, as can the second driving mechanism 13 and the fifth driving mechanism. Of course, those skilled in the art can also use other mechanical structures and equipment types known to them as needed. As long as the functions to be achieved by these components or mechanisms in these embodiments can be accomplished, they should be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0044] In another implementation of this utility model, the workpiece fixing table 5 is provided with a first support member 31 and a second support member corresponding to the first flange, and a third support member 33 and a fourth support member corresponding to the second flange. The first support member 31 and the second support member are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first flange along the X-axis direction, and the third support member 33 and the fourth support member are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second flange along the X-axis direction.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first support member 31, the second support member, the third support member 33, and the fourth support member are all wheel and axle structures, so that when supporting the workpiece, the workpiece can be smoothly rotated under the drive of the first rotating mechanism or the second rotating mechanism.

[0046] Based on the above embodiments, one or more sets of first support members 31, second support members, third support members 33 and fourth support members are detachably configured to adapt to different types of workpieces.

[0047] According to an embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a PLC, which is connected to the first drive mechanism 11, the second drive mechanism 13, the third drive mechanism, and the first motor 20 respectively to control them, and / or the PLC is connected to the fourth drive mechanism, the fifth drive mechanism, the sixth drive mechanism, and the second motor respectively to control them.

[0048] Based on this embodiment, the first drive mechanism 11, the second drive mechanism 13, the third drive mechanism, and the first motor 20 are controlled by a PLC, and / or the fourth drive mechanism, the fifth drive mechanism, the sixth drive mechanism, and the second motor are controlled by a PLC, thereby realizing a series of actions such as automatic position adjustment and flange adjustment.

[0049] In another possible implementation, the first dispensing port 26 and the second dispensing port are connected to the first control valve and the second control valve, respectively, and the PLC is connected to the first control valve and the second control valve to control them. In this way, the timing and amount of dispensing can be automatically controlled simultaneously.

[0050] As can be seen, the adhesive application equipment according to this embodiment of the invention achieves automatic adhesive application to the flange end face of the workpiece, improving workpiece processing efficiency and quality. In this invention, the workpiece can be a flow meter product.
