Abstract
A threadlike adhesive sticking apparatus of the present invention includes, a nozzle comprising a pressing unit configured to press a threadlike adhesive against an object, a nozzle displacement unit that is attached to the nozzle and is configured to displace the nozzle by being displaced in a pressing direction, and an absorption mechanism configured to absorb a displacement of the nozzle with respect to a displacement of the nozzle displacement unit in the pressing direction.
Claims12
A threadlike adhesive sticking apparatus, comprising:
- a nozzle having a tip end configured to press a threadlike adhesive against an object;
- a nozzle support that is attached to the nozzle and is configured to displace the nozzle by being displaced in a pressing direction;
- an assist mechanism comprising a first roller and a second roller configured to sandwich the threadlike adhesive between the first roller and the second roller, wherein the first roller is rotated by a driving force, the second roller is rotated in conjunction with rotation of the first roller, and the first roller and the second roller pull the threadlike adhesive sandwiched between the first roller and the second roller in a rotation direction;
- one or more springs that adjust tensile forces of the rollers, wherein the one or more springs are attached to the second roller that is rotated in conjunction with rotation of the first roller that is driven by the driving force, and which is free from being attached to the one or more springs;
- and
- an absorption mechanism comprising at least one of a spring, a damper, or an air cylinder, wherein the absorption mechanism is configured to absorb a displacement of the nozzle with respect to a displacement of the nozzle support in the pressing direction.
