Adhesive bead applicator

摘要

A device for applying a two-part adhesive to a substrate includes a carrier, a first pump, a second pump, at least one manifold and at least one applicator. The first pump and the second pump are mounted on the carrier and each pump has an inlet and an outlet. The first pump pumps a first part of the two-part adhesive from its inlet to its outlet, and the second pump pumps a second part of the two-part adhesive from its inlet to its outlet. The at least one applicator is configured to mix the first part with the second part to form the two-part adhesive that is discharged from the outlet of the at least one applicator onto the substrate.

1. A device for applying a two-part adhesive to a substrate, the device comprising:
a carrier having at least one set of wheels that enable the carrier to move and turn; a first pump mounted on the carrier and having a plurality of inlets a shut-off valve associated with each inlet that enable selective operation of the inlet and a plurality of outlets, the first pump pumping a first part of the two-part adhesive from the plurality of inlets of the first pump to the plurality of outlets of the first pump, the number of the inlets of the first pump being equal to the number of outlets of the first pump; a second pump mounted on the carrier and having a plurality of inlets a shut-off valve associated with each inlet that enable selective operation of the inlet and a plurality of outlets, the second pump pumping a second part of the two-part adhesive from the plurality of inlets of the second pump to the plurality of outlets of the second pump, the number of the inlets of the second pump being equal to the number of inlets of the first pump and the number of outlets of the second pump being equal to the number of outlets of the first pump; a plurality of manifolds, the number of manifolds being equal to the number of outlets of the first pump and, hence, the number of outlets of the second pump, each manifold having a pair of inlets in communication with respective outlets of the first pump and the second pump and further having a pair of outlets in communication with respective inlets of the manifold; and a plurality of applicators, the number of applicators being equal to the number of manifolds, each applicator having a first end that communicates with the outlets of a respective manifold, each applicator having a second end that is an outlet, wherein each applicator is configured to mix the first part with the second part to form the two-part adhesive, and wherein the two-part adhesive is discharged from the outlet of each applicator onto the substrate.
