Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated processing technology, and in particular to a dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing production process, materials are often transported through trays. When performing dispensing operations, each material on the tray can complete dispensing operations on multiple predetermined edges, which facilitates subsequent processing.

[0003] In existing dispensing equipment, the material tray transport is temporarily stopped during the dispensing operation. A single dispensing device sequentially positions itself to each edge of each material to complete the dispensing operation. Only after all predetermined edges of all materials on the tray have been dispensed does the tray resume transport, moving the materials to the next station for further processing.

[0004] However, due to the large number of materials on the tray, and the fact that each material has multiple predetermined edges that need to be glued, the processing time of the tray in the glue dispensing stage is long, which increases the waiting time of subsequent workstations and thus reduces the overall production efficiency of the equipment.

[0012] In the first state, the first moving module enters the transport channel to obtain the tray to be dispensed from the transport channel, or to transport the tray after dispensing back to the transport channel. The second moving module is located on the side of the transport channel away from the dispensing mechanism.

[0013] In the second state, the second moving module enters the transport channel to transport the material tray. The first moving module corresponds to the dispensing mechanism so that the dispensing mechanism dispenses the material in the material tray on the first moving module.

[0014] In one embodiment, the frame is provided with a plurality of transport bases along the first direction, the plurality of transport bases cooperate to form the transport flow channel, and an interval area is provided between two adjacent transport bases;

[0015] The first moving module and the second moving module are able to enter the interval area sequentially along the second direction and align with the two adjacent transport bases so that the tray is transported along the first direction.

[0016] In one embodiment, each of the first mobile module and each of the second mobile modules includes:

[0017] A movable base, wherein the movable base is disposed on the drive module, and the movable base is provided with an auxiliary track extending along the first direction; and

[0018] Two limiting members are movably disposed on opposite sides of the movable base along the first direction;

[0024] A transmission drive unit, wherein the transmission drive unit is disposed on one of the frames, and the output shaft of the transmission drive unit is rotatably disposed on two of the frames; and

[0025] Two drive belts, each of which is tensioned to a plurality of the transmission pulleys of a drive wheel assembly and the output shaft of the transmission drive member, the surface of the drive belt forming the auxiliary track.

[0026] In one embodiment, the movable base further includes two sets of limiting wheels, each set of limiting wheels being disposed on one side of one frame facing the other frame, and each set of limiting wheels including a plurality of limiting wheels spaced apart along the first direction;

[0027] The limiting wheel abuts against the side wall of the material tray.

[0028] In one embodiment, the first mobile module further includes:

[0029] A lifting assembly, disposed on the base and located between the two frames, is movable in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the material tray to disengage the material tray from the auxiliary track; and

[0030] A side-pressure assembly, which is disposed on one of the frames and is movable relative to the other frame to push the tray.

[0038] And / or, the dispensing equipment further includes an inspection mechanism, which is located on the frame and is used to perform visual inspection on the dispensing tray.

[0039] The technical solution of this utility model involves setting a transport channel extending along a first direction on the frame, and arranging multiple transfer mechanisms along the first direction. Each transfer mechanism corresponds to a dispensing mechanism. This allows the transfer mechanism to transport the material trays on the transport channel to the dispensing mechanism for dispensing. After dispensing, the transfer mechanism then transfers the material trays back to the transport channel for transport. The dispensing equipment can then dispense multiple material trays simultaneously, eliminating the need to wait for one tray to finish dispensing before starting dispensing for others, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0052] In the existing production process, materials are often transported through trays. When performing dispensing operations, each material on the tray can complete dispensing operations on multiple predetermined edges, which facilitates subsequent processing.

[0053] In existing dispensing equipment, the material tray transport is temporarily stopped during the dispensing operation. A single dispensing device sequentially positions itself to each edge of each material to complete the dispensing operation. Only after all predetermined edges of all materials on the tray have been dispensed does the tray resume transport, moving the materials to the next station for further processing.

[0054] However, due to the large number of materials on the tray, and the fact that each material has multiple predetermined edges that need to be glued, the processing time of the tray in the glue dispensing stage is long, which increases the waiting time of subsequent workstations and thus reduces the overall production efficiency of the equipment.

[0055] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a dispensing device 100, which aims to improve the production efficiency of the dispensing process.

[0056] First, please refer to Figure 2 For ease of understanding, the direction a1-a2 in the diagram is defined as the first direction, and the direction b1-b2 is defined as the second direction.

[0057] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the dispensing equipment 100 includes a frame 1, a plurality of transfer mechanisms 2, and a plurality of dispensing mechanisms 3. The frame 1 forms a transport channel 111 for transporting a material tray 6, and the transport channel 111 extends along a first direction. The plurality of transfer mechanisms 2 are all disposed on the frame 1 and arranged sequentially along the first direction. The transfer mechanisms 2 are configured to obtain the material tray 6 from the transport channel 111 and send the material tray 6 back to the transport channel 111. The plurality of dispensing mechanisms 3 are all disposed on the frame 1, and each dispensing mechanism 3 is provided corresponding to a transfer mechanism 2 for dispensing the material in the material tray 6 on the transfer mechanism 2.

[0058] In this embodiment, multiple transfer mechanisms 2 are installed on the frame 1 and arranged sequentially along the first direction. Each transfer mechanism 2 can obtain the material tray 6 to be dispensed from the transport channel 111, transport the material tray 6 to the corresponding dispensing mechanism 3 for dispensing, and after the dispensing operation is completed, it can send the material tray 6 back to the transport channel 111, so that the material tray 6 can be transported along the transport channel 111 to the next station for subsequent processing. At this time, the dispensing equipment 100 can perform dispensing processing on multiple material trays 6 at the same time, without waiting for one material tray 6 to complete dispensing before dispensing other material trays 6, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0059] It should be noted that two control methods can be used for dispensing in this embodiment. In the first method, each dispensing mechanism 3 independently completes dispensing onto each predetermined edge of the material. This allows the transport channel 111 to transport the next tray 6 to be dispensed to the next dispensing mechanism 3 while the current dispensing mechanism 3 is performing its dispensing operation. After the tray 6 completes its dispensing operation at the current dispensing mechanism 3, it can directly leave the dispensing equipment 100 and be transported to the next device for further processing. In this case, the dispensing equipment 100 can simultaneously dispense materials on multiple trays 6, thus improving efficiency. In the second method, each dispensing mechanism 3 completes dispensing onto at least one predetermined edge. In this case, multiple dispensing mechanisms 3 cooperate to complete dispensing onto each predetermined edge of the material. That is, the trays 6 to be dispensed need to enter each dispensing structure sequentially to complete the dispensing operation. During the dispensing operation, the transport of the trays 6 also stops. The dispensing equipment 100 can simultaneously dispense materials on different predetermined edges of multiple trays 6, thus improving efficiency.

[0060] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Each transfer mechanism 2 includes a drive module 23, a first moving module 21, and a second moving module 22. The drive module 23 is mounted on the frame 1, and the first moving module 21 and the second moving module 22 are arranged side-by-side on the drive module 23 along a second direction. The drive module 23 drives the first moving module 21 and the second moving module 22 to move along the second direction, so that the dispensing equipment 100 has a first state and a second state, and the second direction is set at an angle to the first direction. In the first state, the first moving module 21 enters the transport channel 111 to obtain the material tray 6 to be dispensed from the transport channel 111, or to transport the material tray 6 after dispensing back to the transport channel 111. The second moving module 22 is located on the side of the transport channel 111 away from the dispensing mechanism 3. In the second state, the second moving module 22 enters the transport channel 111 to transport the material tray 6. The first moving module 21 corresponds to the dispensing mechanism 3, so that the dispensing mechanism 3 dispenses the material in the material tray 6 on the first moving module 21.

[0061] In this embodiment, the drive module 23 is mounted on the frame 1 and provides power for the movement of the first moving module 21 and the second moving module 22, enabling them to move along a second direction. When the dispensing device 100 is in the first state, the first moving module 21 corresponds to the transport channel 111 and is used to retrieve the tray 6 to be dispensed from the transport channel 111, or to transport the tray 6 back to the transport channel 111 after the dispensing operation is completed. At this time, the second moving module 22 is located on the side of the transport channel 111 away from the dispensing mechanism 3 and is idle. When the dispensing device 100 switches to the second state, the second moving module 22 enters the transport channel 111 to assist in the transport of the tray 6. At the same time, the first moving module 21 moves to the position corresponding to the dispensing mechanism 3 and waits for the dispensing operation.

[0062] Optionally, the drive module 23 can drive the first moving module 21 and the second moving module 22 to reciprocate through a servo motor and lead screw structure. This ensures alignment accuracy during movement and guarantees accurate dispensing operation. The servo motor and lead screw structure is common in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0063] Optionally, the angle between the second direction and the first direction can be set between 60 and 120 degrees. This avoids interference between components while ensuring that the first moving module 21 and the second moving module 22 can smoothly enter and exit the transport channel 111. Generally, for ease of control during movement, the first direction is set perpendicular to the second direction.

[0064] Understandably, the main function of the transfer mechanism 2 is to transport the material tray 6 between the transport channel 111 and the dispensing mechanism 3 to ensure the continuity of the production process. Therefore, the transfer mechanism 2 can also use a robotic arm to hold the material tray 6 for transport. In this case, the direction of movement of the transfer mechanism 2 can be arbitrary, as long as it can ensure that the material tray 6 can be transported between the transport channel 111 and the dispensing mechanism 3.

[0065] Understandably, in this embodiment, the dispensing mechanism 3 dispenses glue to the material in the tray 6 on the first moving module 21, and the movement process of each transfer mechanism 2 is the same. Of course, the dispensing mechanism 3 can also dispense glue to the material in the tray 6 on the second moving module 22 simultaneously. In this case, the dispensing mechanism 3 needs to be positioned on the other side of the transport channel 111 along the second direction. Alternatively, the dispensing mechanisms 3 can be staggered on both sides of the transport channel 111, so that some dispensing mechanisms 3 dispense glue to the material in the tray 6 on the first moving module 21, while others dispense glue to the material in the tray 6 on the second moving module 22.

[0066] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 3 The frame 1 is provided with multiple transport bases 11 along the first direction. The multiple transport bases 11 cooperate to form a transport channel 111, and there is an interval area between two adjacent transport bases 11. The first moving module 21 and the second moving module 22 can enter the interval area sequentially along the second direction and align with two adjacent transport bases 11 so that the material tray 6 is transported along the first direction.

[0067] In this embodiment, the frame 1 is provided with a plurality of transport bases 11 along the first direction, and the plurality of transport bases 11 together form a transport channel 111 for transporting the material tray 6 along the first direction. There is a gap between two adjacent transport bases 11 so that the first moving module 21 and the second moving module 22 enter along the second direction and align with the two adjacent transport bases 11, thereby assisting the transport of the material tray 6 along the first direction.

[0068] Optionally, when transporting the material tray 6, the transport base 11 can adopt a belt drive structure, where the cyclical motion of the belt drives the material tray 6 from one side of the transport base 11 to the other; alternatively, it can adopt a roller drive structure, where multiple parallel rollers rotate to make the material tray 6 roll forward on the rollers; or, the transport base 11 can carry the material tray 6 and move directly along the first direction. The specific structure of the transport base 11 can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0069] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Each first moving module 21 and each second moving module 22 includes a moving base 211 and two limiting members 212. The moving base 211 is disposed on the drive module 23 and has an auxiliary track 2110 extending along a first direction. The two limiting members 212 are movably disposed on opposite sides of the moving base 211 along the first direction. The two limiting members 212 are movable in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the material tray 6 to limit the material tray 6.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first moving module 21 and the second moving module 22 have similar structures. The following description uses the structure of the first moving module 21 as an example. The moving base 211 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive module 23. Under the drive of the drive module 23, the moving base 211 can move along the second direction. At the same time, since the moving base 211 also needs to participate in the transportation of the material tray 6 when entering the transport channel 111, the moving base 211 is also provided with an auxiliary track 2110 extending along the first direction. Two limiting members 212 are movably mounted on opposite sides of the moving base 211 along the first direction, so that after the material tray 6 enters the moving base 211, the position of the material tray 6 can be limited, preventing the material tray 6 from shifting during the transmission and dispensing process.

[0071] Optionally, to further improve the positioning accuracy of the material tray 6, a detection sensor can be installed on the movable base 211 to detect the position of the material tray 6. Simultaneously, the detection sensor can determine whether the material tray 6 has entered or left the current movable base 211, thereby facilitating coordinated control by the control system.

[0072] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 4 The mobile base 211 includes a base 2111, two frames 2112, two transmission wheel sets, a transmission drive 2116, and two transmission belts 2114. The base 2111 is located on the drive module 23. The two frames 2112 are arranged side by side on the base 2111 along a first direction. Each transmission wheel set is located on the side of one frame 2112 facing the other frame 2112, and each transmission wheel set includes multiple transmission wheels 2113 spaced apart along the first direction. The transmission drive 2116 is located on one frame 2112, and the output shaft of the transmission drive 2116 is rotatably located on both frames 2112. Each transmission belt 2114 is tensioned to the multiple transmission wheels 2113 of one transmission wheel set and the output shaft of the transmission drive 2116. The surface of the transmission belt 2114 forms an auxiliary track 2110.

[0073] In this embodiment, the movable base 211 transports the material tray 6 via a belt drive structure. The movable base 211 includes a base 2111, two frames 2112, two drive wheel sets, a transmission drive unit 2116, and two drive belts 2114. The base 2111 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive module 23, and the two frames 2112 are arranged side-by-side on the base 2111 along a first direction. Each drive wheel set is mounted on the side of a frame 2112 facing the other frame 2112 and includes multiple transmission wheels 2113 spaced apart along the first direction. The drive belts 2114 are tensioned on the multiple transmission wheels 2113 of the drive wheel sets and the output shaft of the transmission drive unit 2116. The transmission drive unit 2116 can simultaneously drive the two drive belts 2114 to rotate, forming an auxiliary track 2110 on the surface of the drive belts 2114 for carrying and transporting the material tray 6.

[0074] Optionally, one of the frames 2112 can also be movably mounted on the base 2111 and can move relative to the other frame 2112, thereby changing the distance between the two frames 2112, so as to accommodate trays 6 of different widths.

[0075] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 4 The movable base 211 also includes two sets of limiting wheels 2115. Each set of limiting wheels 2115 is located on the side of one frame 2112 facing the other frame 2112, and each set of limiting wheels 2115 includes a plurality of limiting wheels 2115 spaced apart along a first direction. The limiting wheels 2115 abut against the side wall of the material tray 6.

[0076] In this embodiment, the movable base 211 also includes two sets of limiting wheels 2115 symmetrically arranged on the two seats. The limiting wheels 2115 in the set of limiting wheels 2115 can abut against the side wall of the material tray 6 to limit the material tray 6, prevent the material tray 6 from shifting in the second direction, and also reduce the friction between the side wall of the material tray 6 and the seat.

[0077] Understandably, the limiting wheel 2115 and the side wall of the material tray 6 are not completely tightly abutted together, but leave a certain margin to ensure that the material tray 6 can flow in the first direction.

[0078] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 4 The first moving module 21 also includes a lifting component 213 and a side pressing component 214. The lifting component 213 is located on the base 2111 and between the two frames 2112. The lifting component 213 can move in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the tray 6 is located so that the tray 6 can be disengaged from the auxiliary track 2110. The side pressing component 214 is located on one frame 2112 and can move relative to the other frame 2112 to push the tray 6.

[0079] In this embodiment, since the dispensing mechanism 3 also needs to dispense adhesive onto the material in the tray 6 on the first moving module 21, in the second state, when the first moving module 21 moves to the dispensing mechanism 3, the tray 6 needs to be lifted by the lifting component 213 to disengage it from the transmission belt 2114 for dispensing operation, thus avoiding the impact of the dispensing mechanism 3's pressing on the transmission belt 2114. Simultaneously, to ensure that the tray 6 is in the preset dispensing area when the lifting component 213 lifts it, the tray 6 is pushed by the side-pressing component 214 and tightly abuts against the limiting wheel 2115 on the other side, so that the tray 6 is in the correct position along the second direction. This, combined with the limiting members 212 along the first direction, ensures that the tray 6 is in the correct overall position.

[0080] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The frame 1 is also equipped with multiple cleaning components 12, each of which is correspondingly arranged with a transfer mechanism 2. The cleaning components 12 are used to clean the needles of the dispensing mechanism 3. Each dispensing mechanism 3 can reciprocate between the corresponding cleaning component 12 and the transfer mechanism 2 along a first direction.

[0081] In this embodiment, a plurality of cleaning components 12 are arranged on the frame 1 along the first direction. Each cleaning component 12 is spaced apart from the transfer mechanism 2. The dispensing mechanism 3 can move along the first direction to the cleaning component 12 during the interval of dispensing operation to clean the needle.

[0082] Optionally, the cleaning assembly 12 includes a drive unit and a brush. The brush is located at the output end of the drive unit. When the needle of the dispensing mechanism 3 moves to the brush, the drive unit drives the brush to rotate to complete the cleaning operation. Optionally, the cleaning assembly 12 can also use non-contact methods such as ultrasonic cleaning or compressed air cleaning to clean the needle, avoiding wear on the needle.

[0083] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 5 The dispensing mechanism 3 includes a dispensing base 31, a dispensing component 32, and a detection component 33. The dispensing base 31 is movably mounted on the frame 1. The dispensing component 32 is rotatably mounted on the dispensing base 31 and has at least two rotation angles. The detection component 33 is mounted on the dispensing base 31 and spaced apart from the dispensing component 32. The detection component 33 is used to detect the height of the dispensing component 32.

[0084] In this embodiment, the dispensing base 31 is movably mounted on the frame 1 and can move along the first and second directions respectively, thereby facilitating the sequential dispensing of materials in the same column and row on the material tray 6. The dispensing component 32 is rotatably mounted on the dispensing base 31 and has two rotation angles, so that the dispensing component 32 can dispense glue to two predetermined edges respectively during reciprocating movement, thereby improving dispensing efficiency. The detection component 33 is mounted on the dispensing base 31 and spaced apart from the dispensing component 32 to detect the height of the dispensing component 32 and ensure the accuracy of the dispensing operation.

[0085] Understandably, the dispensing base 31 needs to have at least three degrees of freedom: along the first direction, the second direction, and the direction perpendicular to the plane of the material tray 6, in order to realize the sequential dispensing operation of each material on the material tray 6. Optionally, the dispensing base 31 can be driven by three independent driving components, each responsible for one degree of freedom of movement. Alternatively, the dispensing base 31 can also be configured as a robotic arm, using the joint motion of the robotic arm to achieve multi-degree-of-freedom movement. These two structures are common in the prior art and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0086] Optionally, the dispensing component 32 has two rotation angles, and the two rotation angles are symmetrical about the first direction or the second direction, so that when the dispensing mechanism 3 changes its direction of movement during reciprocating movement, the dispensing component 32 rotates to another rotation angle, thereby enabling dispensing to two opposite sides.

[0087] Optionally, the detection component 33 can be a non-contact laser rangefinder or a contact displacement sensor with a detection accuracy of ±0.01 mm. It monitors the height of the dispensing component 32 in real time, and the system automatically corrects the deviation once it exceeds the set threshold to ensure the dispensing quality.

[0088] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The dispensing equipment 100 also includes a barcode scanning mechanism 4, which is located on the frame 1 and is used to input the information of the material tray 6 into the control system.

[0089] In this embodiment, the dispensing equipment 100 also includes a barcode scanning mechanism 4, which is located at the beginning of the transport channel 111. This allows the barcode scanning mechanism 4 to quickly read information on the material tray 6 before the dispensing operation begins, such as the unique identifier of the material tray 6, the material type, and the predetermined dispensing path, and input this information into the control system. The control system can then automatically adjust the dispensing parameters based on the specific information of the material tray 6, achieving personalized dispensing and facilitating the tracking and management of the production process of each material tray 6. The specific structure of the barcode scanning mechanism 4 is common in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0090] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The dispensing equipment 100 also includes an inspection mechanism 5, which is located on the frame 1 and is used to perform visual inspection on the dispensing tray 6.

[0091] In this embodiment, the dispensing equipment 100 also includes a detection mechanism 5, which is located at the end of the transport channel 111. After the dispensing operation is completed, the detection mechanism 5 can use optical detection technology, such as a camera or laser scanner, to photograph or scan the dispensed material tray 6 and transmit the image data to the control system for analysis. This allows for the detection of whether the dispensing position is accurate, whether the adhesive is uniform, and whether there is any omission or excess adhesive. By promptly identifying and reporting problems during the dispensing process, the detection mechanism 5 helps improve the product qualification rate and ensures that each material tray 6 meets quality requirements. The specific structure of the detection mechanism 5 is common in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
