Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of material bonding, and in particular to an adhesive bonding machine. Background Technology

[0002] A gluing machine is a mechanism that bonds pairs of materials together. Currently, gluing machines are mainly used for sheet materials. Specifically, the gluing mechanism first applies glue to the surface of one sheet of material, and then the two sheets are bonded together by moving one sheet of material to adhere to the other sheet of material.

[0003] In the prior art, the gluing machine mainly includes a frame, a feeding mechanism, a gluing mechanism, and a picking mechanism. The feeding mechanism stacks materials, and the paired materials are divided into upper materials and lower materials according to their positions. The upper materials and lower materials are attached tightly from top to bottom. The feeding mechanism moves to below the picking mechanism, and the picking mechanism takes away the upper material and adsorbs it onto the picking mechanism. Then, the feeding mechanism moves to below the gluing mechanism, and the gluing mechanism lowers its height. By moving the feeding mechanism, the lower material comes into contact with the gluing mechanism and is coated with glue. Finally, the feeding mechanism moves to below the picking mechanism again, and the picking mechanism aligns the upper material and lower material and places the upper material on the lower material for bonding.

[0004] In the aforementioned gluing machine, the positions of the material handling mechanism and the gluing mechanism are fixed within the frame, and they are staggered laterally. Therefore, the gluing mechanism cannot apply glue to the material on the material handling mechanism, resulting in low applicability. In some cases, such as when the upper material has a hollow structure and the lower material has a flat structure, after applying glue to the lower material and then bonding the upper and lower materials, the glue will leak out from the hollow structure of the upper material, which does not meet manufacturing standards. Therefore, before using the aforementioned gluing machine, operators need to place the glue-coated material in the position of the lower material. This requires operators to confirm whether the material position needs to be changed based on the different materials, increasing the workload of operators and affecting processing efficiency.

The feeding mechanism is horizontally slidably connected to the frame, and the gluing mechanism is horizontally slidably connected to the frame. The height of the gluing mechanism on the frame is adjustable. The feeding mechanism is used to stack and place materials. The height of the picking mechanism on the frame is adjustable. The picking mechanism is used to absorb materials. The discharging mechanism is fixedly connected to the frame.

[0008] When the gluing mechanism can be in close contact with the material surface, the gluing mechanism and the material move relative to each other, and the gluing mechanism moves from one side of the material surface to the opposite side to apply glue to the material.

[0009] In some embodiments, the material handling mechanism has a first height, and the gluing mechanism has a second height;

[0010] When the material handling mechanism is at the first height and the glue applicator is at the second height, the glue applicator moves from one side of the material handling mechanism to the opposite side of the material handling mechanism and applies glue to the material on the material handling mechanism.

[0011] In some embodiments, when the lowest height of the gluing mechanism facing the material on the feeding mechanism is the same as the highest height of the material on the feeding mechanism facing the gluing mechanism, the gluing mechanism moves from one side of the feeding mechanism to the opposite side of the feeding mechanism, and the gluing mechanism applies glue to the material above the gluing mechanism.

[0012] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism has a first position;

[0013] When the feeding mechanism is in the first position, the feeding mechanism is located below the material handling mechanism;

[0014] When the feeding mechanism is in the first position, the picking mechanism can pick up materials from the feeding mechanism;

[0015] When the feeding mechanism is in the first position, the picking mechanism can bond the glued material to the material on the feeding mechanism.

[0016] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism has a second position;

[0017] When the feeding mechanism is in the second position, it is located at the end of the frame used for feeding.

[0018] In some embodiments, a first driving component is also included, which includes a first slide rail, a first track, a first driving wheel, and a first slider;

[0019] The first slide rail and the first track are arranged parallel to each other and have the same length. Both the first slide rail and the first track are fixedly connected to the frame. The first slider is connected to the glue applicator. The first drive wheel is rotatably connected to the glue applicator. The first slider is slidably connected to the first slide rail. The first drive wheel is slidably connected to the first track.

[0020] In some embodiments, a first lifting assembly is also included, which includes a lifting platform and a first screw.

[0021] The screw is rotatably connected to the glue-applying mechanism, and the screw cooperates with the lifting platform. The first drive wheel is rotatably connected to the lifting platform, and the first slider is fixedly connected to the lifting platform.

[0022] In some embodiments, a second drive assembly is also included, which includes a second slide rail, a second slider, a transmission component, and a connector.

[0026] In some embodiments, the transport device is located below the feeding mechanism, and the transport device is arranged opposite to the unloading device.

[0027] This application provides a gluing machine. Because the gluing mechanism in this application has lifting and translation functions, after the material is picked up by the material-picking mechanism, the height of the material-picking mechanism and the height of the gluing mechanism are adjusted so that the gluing mechanism can contact the material surface on the material-picking mechanism. Simultaneously, after adjusting the height, the gluing mechanism can also contact the material surface on the feeding mechanism. Whether the material is on the feeding mechanism or the material-picking mechanism, the gluing mechanism can pass over the surface of the material to apply the coating. Therefore, by adjusting the height of the gluing mechanism, this application enables the gluing mechanism to apply glue to the material on the feeding mechanism or the material-picking mechanism.

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0039] This application provides an adhesive bonding machine that solves the problem of low applicability in related technologies.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 8 A gluing and bonding machine includes: a frame 1, a feeding mechanism 2, a gluing mechanism 3, a picking mechanism 4, and a discharging mechanism 5. The feeding mechanism 2 is horizontally slidably connected to the frame 1, and the gluing mechanism 3 is horizontally slidably connected to the frame 1. The height of the gluing mechanism 3 on the frame 1 is adjustable. The feeding mechanism 2 is used to stack and place materials. The height of the picking mechanism 4 on the frame 1 is adjustable. The picking mechanism 4 is used to absorb materials. The discharging mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. When the gluing mechanism 3 can be in close contact with the surface of the material, the gluing mechanism 3 moves relative to the material. The gluing mechanism 3 moves from one side of the material surface to the opposite side. The gluing mechanism 3 applies glue to the material.

[0041] In this embodiment, the material can be coated with glue from above or below the gluing mechanism 3. The gluing mechanism 3 applies glue to the material using rollers, and the rotation direction of the rollers remains unchanged. The feeding mechanism 2 is a flat plate that moves on the frame 1. The frame 1, feeding mechanism 2, gluing mechanism 3, picking mechanism 4, and discharging mechanism 5 are all prior art. In this application, the gluing step involves applying glue to the material on the picking mechanism 4 or the material on the feeding mechanism 2. When applying glue to the material on the picking mechanism 4, the relative height between the picking mechanism 4 and the gluing mechanism 3 is adjusted so that the material on the picking mechanism 4 is above the gluing mechanism 3. The material on the feeding mechanism 4 is coated with adhesive by the gluing mechanism 3. When coating the material on the feeding mechanism 2, the relative height between the gluing mechanism 3 and the feeding mechanism 2 is adjusted, and the material on the feeding mechanism 2 moves below the gluing mechanism 3. The gluing mechanism 3 then coats the material on the feeding mechanism 2 with adhesive. During the coating process, the gluing mechanism 3 will only coat the material on either the feeding mechanism 2 or the feeding mechanism 4. It should be noted that, according to actual production needs, the material on the feeding mechanism 4 can be coated with adhesive by moving the gluing mechanism 3 from above or from below.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the material picking mechanism 4 has a first height and the glue applicator 3 has a second height. When the material picking mechanism 4 is at the first height and the glue applicator 3 is at the second height, the glue applicator 3 moves from one side of the material picking mechanism 4 to the opposite side of the material picking mechanism 4 and applies glue to the material on the material picking mechanism 4.

[0043] When it is necessary to apply glue to the material on the feeding mechanism 4, adjust the height of the gluing mechanism 3 and the feeding mechanism 4 so that the gluing mechanism 3 and the material on the feeding mechanism 4 are at a height that can contact each other after relative movement. Then move the gluing mechanism 3 so that the gluing mechanism 3 moves from one side of the material to the opposite side of the material. The material on the feeding mechanism 4 moves above the gluing mechanism 3, and the gluing mechanism 3 applies glue to the surface of the material on the feeding mechanism 4. It should be noted that since the gluing mechanism 3 moves to apply glue to the material, the direction of movement of the gluing mechanism 3 is opposite to the direction of rotation tangent of the contact point between the roller and the material, which facilitates the movement of the gluing mechanism 3.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the lowest height of the gluing mechanism 3 facing the material on the feeding mechanism 2 is the same as the highest height of the material on the feeding mechanism 2 facing the gluing mechanism 3, the gluing mechanism 3 moves from one side of the feeding mechanism 2 to the opposite side of the feeding mechanism 2, and the gluing mechanism 3 applies glue to the material above the gluing mechanism 3.

[0045] When it is necessary to apply glue to the material on the feeding mechanism 2, adjust the height of the glue applicator 3 so that after the glue applicator 3 moves relative to the feeding mechanism 2, the glue applicator 3 can contact the surface of the material at the top of the feeding mechanism 2 facing the glue applicator 3. Then move the feeding mechanism 2 so that the material on the feeding mechanism 2 moves below the glue applicator 3. The glue applicator 3 is in close contact with the material to apply glue to the material on the feeding mechanism 2.

[0046] It should be noted that, since the gluing mechanism 3 applies glue through a roller and the rotation direction of the roller remains unchanged, in order to facilitate the gluing of the gluing mechanism 3, the moving direction of the gluing mechanism 3 is opposite to the rotation tangent direction of the roller and the material contact point.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 2 has a first position. When the feeding mechanism 2 is in the first position, it is located below the picking mechanism 4. When the feeding mechanism 2 is in the first position, the picking mechanism 4 can absorb material from the feeding mechanism 2. When the feeding mechanism 2 is in the first position, the picking mechanism 4 can bond the glued material to the material on the feeding mechanism 2.

[0048] A pair of stacked materials are placed on the feeding mechanism 2. During processing, the feeding mechanism 2 will first move to the first position, which is below the picking mechanism 4. The picking mechanism 4 will lower to absorb the materials. The picking mechanism 4 will then rise again to perform the gluing step. After the gluing step is completed, the feeding mechanism 2 will move back to the first position, which is below the picking mechanism 4. The picking mechanism 4 will then lower to bond the two pieces of materials together.

[0049] It should be emphasized that the above applies to cases where two materials need to be bonded. When three or more materials need to be bonded, the material picking mechanism 4 should first lift the material at the top of the feeding mechanism 2 and apply glue to it. Then, the glued material should be bonded to the material at the top of the feeding mechanism 2. The picking mechanism 4 should then lift the two bonded materials again. This process of lifting the materials, applying glue to the bottom of the materials, bonding the materials, and lifting the bonded materials should be repeated until there are no more materials on the feeding mechanism 2. If the number of materials is greater than two, applying glue from below the gluing mechanism 2 using the feeding mechanism 2 can easily cause multiple materials on the feeding mechanism 2 to shift, which is not conducive to applying glue to the materials.

[0050] More specifically, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 2 has a second position. When the feeding mechanism 2 is in the second position, it is located at one end of the frame 1 for feeding materials. Before processing, the feeding mechanism 2 needs to be moved to the second position, and then the workers will move the stacked materials onto the feeding mechanism 2.

[0051] More specifically, in this embodiment, a first driving component 6 is also included. The first driving component 6 includes a first slide rail 61, a first track 62, a first driving wheel 63, and a first slider 64. The first slide rail 61 and the first track 62 are arranged parallel to each other and have the same length. The first slide rail 61 and the first track 62 are both fixedly connected to the frame 1. The first slider 64 is connected to the gluing mechanism 3. The first driving wheel 63 is rotatably connected to the gluing mechanism 3. The first slider 64 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 61, and the first driving wheel 63 is slidably connected to the first track 62.

[0052] The first slider 64 is fixed on both sides of the gluing mechanism 3, and the first slide rail 61 is arranged on both sides of the gluing mechanism 3. The first slider 64 slides on the first slide rail 61 to play a guiding and supporting role. In a preferred embodiment, the first drive wheel 63 is a gear, the first track 62 is a rack, the first drive wheel 63 is respectively arranged on both sides of the gluing mechanism 3, and the first drive wheel 63 is connected and driven simultaneously by a connecting rod. The connecting rod is driven to rotate by a motor so that the gear rotates on the rack and drives the gluing mechanism 3 to move. The first drive assembly 6 realizes the sliding of the gluing mechanism 3 on the frame 1.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a first lifting assembly 7 is also included. The first lifting assembly 7 includes a lifting platform 71 and a first screw 72. The screw is rotatably connected to the glue-applying mechanism 3. The screw cooperates with the lifting platform 71. A first drive wheel 63 is rotatably connected to the lifting platform 71. A first slider 64 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 71.

[0054] The first slider 64 is fixed on the lifting platform 71, so the lifting platform 71 cannot rotate on the frame 1. The screws are located on both sides of the lifting platform 71. By rotating multiple screws together, and utilizing the self-locking property of the threads, the height of the gluing mechanism 3 can be adjusted. In a preferred embodiment, a track and drive wheel are installed on the lifting platform 71. Each screw has a drive wheel fixed on it. In addition, a drive wheel connected to a motor is also installed on the lifting platform 71. The track is wrapped around all the drive wheels. When the motor drives one of the drive wheels to rotate, all the screws rotate, causing the gluing mechanism 3 to rise and fall.

[0055] Preferably, in this embodiment, a second drive assembly 8 is also included. The second drive assembly 8 includes a second slide rail 81, a second slider 82, a transmission component 83, and a connecting component 84. The second slide rail 81 and the transmission component 83 are both fixedly connected to the frame 1. The second slider 82 and the connecting component 84 are fixedly connected to the feeding mechanism 2. The second slider 82 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 81. The connecting component 84 is fixedly connected to the transmission component 83. The second slide rail 81 is arranged parallel to the first slide rail 61. In a preferred embodiment, the length of the second slide rail 81 is longer than the length of the first slide rail 61. The transmission component 83 is a track. The connecting component 84 is fixed to the track and the feeding mechanism 2 respectively. The feeding mechanism 2 is moved by the movement of the track.

[0056] Preferably, in this embodiment, a second lifting assembly 9 is also included. The second lifting assembly 9 includes a mounting plate 91, a lifting rail 92, and a second screw 93. The lifting rail 92 is fixedly connected to the material handling mechanism 4. The second screw 93 is rotatably connected to the lifting rail 92. The mounting plate 91 is slidably connected to the lifting rail 92. The mounting plate 91 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The second screw 93 cooperates with the lifting rail 92.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, the lifting track 92 is fixedly connected above the material handling mechanism 4. A sprocket and a chain are provided on the top of the lifting track 92. The chain connects two sprockets, which are rotatably connected to the top of the lifting track 92. One sprocket is connected to the second screw 93, and the other sprocket is connected to the motor output end on the lifting track 92. This enables the second screw 93 to rotate on the lifting track 92. By utilizing the threaded engagement between the second screw 93 and the mounting plate 91, when the second screw 93 rotates, since the position of the mounting plate 91 remains unchanged, the lifting track 92 drives the material handling mechanism 4 to rise and fall.

[0058] The transport device is located below the feeding mechanism 2, and the transport device is set opposite to the picking device. The transport device is a tracked conveyor, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail. For convenience, after two materials are bonded, the picking mechanism 4 will lift the bonded materials, and then the feeding component will move to another position. The picking mechanism 4 will place the bonded materials on the transport device and transport them away through the transport device for subsequent processing. Finally, the feeding mechanism 2 returns to the first position.

[0059] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0060] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
