The product design of dispensing machines mainly covers their core components, including mechanical structure, control system, human-machine interface, and design tools and drawings.
Mechanical Structure Composition
The mechanical structure of a dispensing machine typically consists of multiple integrated motion modules to achieve product positioning, conveying, and precise dispensing. Common modules include flipping modules, conveyor chain modules, XYZ dispensing modules, dispensing lifting modules, and valve cleaning modules. The frame is often constructed using industrial aluminum profiles, stainless steel, and carbon steel.
Design Tools and Drawings
The design process of dispensing machines extensively utilizes computer-aided design software such as Solidworks, AutoCAD, and Creo. Design results are usually presented in the form of assembly drawings and component drawings, with formats including sldasm, sldprt, and dwg, providing detailed guidance for equipment manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance.
Human-Machine Interface Design
The human-machine interface is an important component of the dispensing machine control system, typically using a touchscreen as the operating window. Its main functions include: setting and storing dispensing process parameters (such as path, speed, and dispensing volume), writing and calling dispensing programs, real-time display of equipment operating status and alarm information, and performing operations such as start/stop and mode selection. Advanced HMIs can also provide real-time feedback on complex command combinations and execution status.
