[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a highly integrated automatic adhesive application device includes a frame assembly 10, at least one positioning mechanism 20, and an adhesive application mechanism 30. The frame assembly 10 includes a main frame 11 and a substrate 12. The substrate 12 is horizontally mounted on the top of the main frame 11, and the main frame 11 has an internal cavity for accommodating electrical components and a control cabinet. At least one positioning mechanism 20 is mounted on the substrate 12. Each positioning mechanism 20 includes a base 21, a positioning element 22, and an adsorption assembly. The bottom of the base 21 is mounted on the substrate 12, and the positioning element... The positioning element 22 is detachably mounted on the base 21. The adsorption assembly is mounted on the base 21. The positioning element 22 is configured to carry and position the workpiece. The adsorption assembly is configured to adsorb the positioned workpiece onto the positioning element 22. The gluing mechanism 30 includes a driving part 31 and a gluing part 32. The fixed end of the driving part 31 is mounted on the main frame 11. The driving end of the driving part 31 is connected to the gluing part 32. The driving part 31 is configured to drive the gluing part 32 to move laterally and move up and down. The gluing part 32 is configured to apply gluing to the workpiece that has been adsorbed and fixed on the positioning element 22.

[0034] The drive unit 31 is also used to drive the glue application unit 32 to rotate.

[0035] Specifically, the main frame 11 has four single doors 13 on both the front and rear sides. Obviously, the four single doors 13 on the front and rear of the frame form a closed storage space to centrally store electrical components and control cabinets. This design not only effectively protects the internal critical equipment from dust contamination and accidental physical damage in the production environment, but also greatly facilitates daily inspection, maintenance and upkeep.

[0036] Specifically, positioning component 22 is customized with different types of limiting fixtures according to the outer contour of the workpiece, and the workpiece is quickly positioned through mechanical structure.

[0037] It should be noted that the automatic glue application equipment of this application adopts a highly integrated design, with a compact structure, significantly saving floor space, and is easy to move and arrange flexibly in space-constrained production workshops, adapting to various production cycles and site conditions.

[0038] As can be seen, by compactly integrating the positioning mechanism 20, drive unit 31, glue application unit 32, electrical components and control cabinet and other modules into a main frame 11, the structure is compact, which significantly saves floor space and is suitable for modern production workshops with limited space, thus improving space utilization. At the same time, the adsorption component is installed on the base 21. The adsorption component is used to adsorb the positioned workpiece onto the positioning component 22, and generate negative pressure on the surface of the positioning component 22 to perform secondary adsorption and fixation on the workpiece, which greatly improves the positioning stability of the workpiece.

[0039] In one embodiment, two positioning mechanisms 20 are provided, and the two positioning mechanisms 20 are mounted on the base plate 12 at intervals.

[0040] Specifically, the equipment integrates two independently operating processing stations, each equipped with its own operation button 26, allowing the two stations to alternately perform loading and unloading operations. This design enables parallelization of the production process, eliminates robot waiting time, and greatly improves equipment utilization and overall production efficiency.

[0041] Of course, in order to further improve equipment utilization and overall production efficiency, the positioning mechanism 20 can also be set in three, four, etc. Here, the number of positioning mechanisms 20 will not be elaborated.

[0042] It is evident that by setting two positioning mechanisms 20, it is possible to position two different types of workpieces at once, or to position two workpieces of the same type at once, which greatly improves the glue application efficiency.

[0043] In one embodiment, a positioning pin 27 is provided between the positioning member 22 and the base 21. The first end of the positioning pin 27 is fixed to the bottom of the positioning member 22, and the second end of the positioning pin 27 extends downward. A positioning hole adapted to the positioning pin 27 is provided on the upper surface of the base 21. The positioning member 22 is detachably mounted on the base 21 through the cooperation of the positioning pin 27 and the positioning hole.

[0044] Of course, as another implementation, the first end of the positioning pin 27 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 21, the second end of the positioning pin 27 extends upward, and the bottom of the positioning member 22 is provided with a positioning hole that matches the positioning pin 27. The positioning member 22 is detachably installed on the base 21 through the cooperation of the positioning pin 27 and the positioning hole.

[0045] Specifically, the locating pin 27 is a high-precision cylindrical pin.

[0046] Clearly, the positioning mechanism 20 achieves precise positioning and guidance of the positioning component 22 through high-precision cylindrical pins, ensuring repeatability of positioning accuracy. More importantly, it innovatively integrates a vacuum generation system, which uses negative pressure adsorption to fix the workpiece a second time, forming a dual guarantee with mechanical limit, significantly improving the positioning accuracy and stability of the workpiece during processing and meeting the requirements of high-precision operation.

[0047] As can be seen, the positioning component 22 is detachably installed on the base 21 through the cooperation of the positioning pin 27 and the positioning hole, which realizes high-precision positioning of the positioning component 22, effectively controls the installation error, and meets the requirements of high-precision glue application. At the same time, the positioning pin 27 inserted into the positioning hole can also provide precise guidance for the installation of the positioning component 22.

[0048] In one embodiment, the positioning mechanism 20 further includes a clamping part 28, which is mounted on the base 21 and configured to clamp and fix the positioned positioning member 22 on the base 21.

[0049] Specifically, clamping part 28 is a quick clamp.

[0050] As can be seen, after precise positioning, the fast clamping of the fixed positioning component 22 facilitates the quick replacement of the corresponding positioning component 22 when producing different workpieces.

[0051] In one embodiment, the adsorption assembly includes a vacuum generating component 24, a plurality of adsorption holes 29 are formed on the positioning surface of the positioning member 22, and an air extraction channel is formed inside the positioning member 22. The first end of the air extraction channel is connected to the plurality of adsorption holes 29, and the second end of the air extraction channel is connected to the vacuum generating component 24. The vacuum generating component 24 is configured to draw air from the air extraction channel so as to adsorb the workpiece onto the positioning surface of the positioning member 22 through the plurality of adsorption holes 29.

[0052] Specifically, the positioning component 22 is equipped with a sealing strip 23, and the vacuum generating component 24 is a vacuum generator.

[0053] Specifically, the outer side is equipped with a vacuum pressure gauge 25 and an operation button 26. Obviously, the vacuum pressure gauge 25 on the outer side of the base 21 can display the pressure of the vacuum system pipeline in real time and accurately, so that the operator can intuitively and quickly judge whether the adsorption state of the workpiece has reached the safe working threshold and ensure the reliability of the production process.

[0054] It can be seen that by generating negative pressure on the surface of the positioning component 22, the workpiece is subjected to secondary adsorption and fixation, which, together with the mechanical limit, enhances the positioning stability of the workpiece during the processing.

[0055] In one implementation, a walking mechanism 40 is provided at the bottom of the main frame 11. The walking mechanism 40 includes four casters 41, which are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom of the main frame 11. Each caster 41 is installed at one corner of the bottom of the main frame 11.

[0056] As can be seen, the bottom of the main frame 11 is equipped with casters 41 and combined with the ergonomic tubular handles 14, which enable the entire system to be easily and quickly moved and moved manually between different workstations, greatly improving the flexibility of the equipment and enabling it to flexibly adapt to the production needs of multiple varieties and small batches and changes in the site.

[0057] In one embodiment, at least one tubular handle 14 for the main frame 11 to be moved by the operator is provided on the end face of the substrate 12.

[0058] Specifically, tubular handles 14 are provided on both sides of the end face of the substrate 12.

[0059] As can be seen, the tubular handles 14 on both sides of the reference plate are designed according to ergonomics, providing operators with a stable point of force application, and further improving the convenience and flexibility of the equipment moving between different workstations.

[0060] In one implementation, the drive unit 31 is a six-axis collaborative robot, and the glue application unit 32 is a screw glue feeder, which is installed on the drive end of the six-axis collaborative robot via a flange.

[0061] It is evident that by employing a highly flexible six-axis collaborative robot in conjunction with a dedicated screw glue feeder, the glue application operation on complex three-dimensional trajectories can be completed accurately and stably, ensuring uniform and controllable glue output. This, in turn, guarantees the high quality and consistency of the product sealing process and meets the production needs of complex workpieces.

[0062] In one embodiment, an emergency stop button 15 is provided at the center of the end face of the substrate 12. By operating the emergency stop button 15, the power supply to the entire device is cut off.

[0063] Specifically, the main frame 11 is equipped with a cantilever operation box 50 for manual teaching and operation.

[0064] Specifically, a robot controller 60 and a tri-color light 70 are installed on the right side of the main frame 11. The internationally recognized red, yellow and green tri-color light 70 is used to display the equipment's operating status from a distance. For example, green indicates normal operation, yellow indicates standby or debugging, and red indicates fault or emergency stop, thus realizing visualized production management.

[0065] As can be seen, by setting an emergency stop button 15 in a prominent position that complies with safety regulations, operators can quickly trigger it from multiple directions. By setting internationally recognized three-color status lights, an efficient safety and information feedback system has been built. This can effectively protect personal and equipment safety, and enable remote and intuitive visualization management of production status, facilitating on-site monitoring.

[0066] The highly integrated automatic glue-applying equipment described above performs the following steps during glue application:

[0067] S1. During the equipment preparation stage, the equipment is moved to a suitable production station by using the four casters 41 at the bottom of the main frame 11 and the ergonomically designed tubular handles 14 on the end face of the base plate 12. The operator checks the status of the three-color lights 70 on the main frame 11 to determine whether each component of the equipment is normal and confirms that the equipment is in a working state.

[0068] S2. Select the appropriate positioning mechanism 20 according to the workpiece type. If the positioning component 22 needs to be replaced, the positioning component 22 and the base 21 are detachably connected by a high-precision cylindrical pin. Combined with quick clamps, the appropriate positioning component 22 can be quickly replaced. The positioning pin 27 can accurately guide the installation of the positioning component 22 and ensure repeatability, achieving high-precision positioning of the positioning component 22 and effectively controlling installation errors. Place the workpiece on the positioning component 22. Relying on the positioning component 22 and different types of limiting fixtures customized according to the outer contour of the workpiece, the workpiece is quickly positioned through the mechanical structure. Activate the vacuum generating component 24 in the adsorption assembly to draw air from the air extraction channel inside the positioning component 22. The air is drawn out through multiple adsorption holes 29 on the positioning surface of the positioning component 22 that are connected to the air extraction channel, generating negative pressure on the surface of the positioning component 22 to perform secondary adsorption and fixation of the workpiece. Together with the mechanical limiting, this enhances the positioning stability of the workpiece during the processing. Meanwhile, the vacuum system pipeline pressure can be accurately viewed in real time through the vacuum pressure test gauge 25 on the outside of the base 21, allowing for a direct and quick determination of whether the workpiece adsorption state has reached the safe working threshold, thus ensuring a reliable production process.

[0069] S3: Power on. The electrical components and control system of the equipment are initialized, and the relevant control cabinets start working to prepare for the subsequent glue application operation.

[0070] S4, the drive unit 31 drives the glue application unit 32 to move according to the preset program, so that the glue application unit 32 moves to the appropriate position of the workpiece to be glued, and prepares to carry out the glue application operation. Utilizing the high flexibility of the six-axis collaborative robot in conjunction with the screw glue feeder, the glue is applied to the workpiece that is adsorbed and fixed on the positioning part 22 in a precise and stable manner according to the set complex three-dimensional trajectory, so as to ensure that the glue output is uniform and controllable, and to ensure the high quality and consistency of the product sealing process, so as to meet the production needs of complex workpieces.

[0071] S5. After the glue application is completed, turn off the power to the equipment according to the normal operating procedure to end the glue application process.

[0072] In case of an emergency requiring immediate stop: the operator can quickly cut off the power supply to the entire equipment by using the emergency stop button 15 located at the center of the end face of the control board 12, ensuring personal and equipment safety.

[0073] The above embodiments merely illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the above examples. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
