Abstract

An application system is provided and includes a primer device configured to apply a primer, a sealer unit configured to apply a sealer and a change tool selectively connected to the primer device and the sealer unit. The application system further includes a connecting portion that is coupled to the primer device and the sealer unit, respectively to be selectively connected to the change tool. Accordingly, maintenance and repair costs may be reduced, and the required installation space may be minimized.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An application system, comprising:
a primer device configured to apply a primer;
a sealer unit configured to apply a sealer;
a change tool configured to be connected to the primer device and the sealer unit; and
a connecting portion connected to the primer device and the sealer unit, respectively, to be selectively connected to the change tool; and
a robot arm connected to the primer device or the sealer unit to actuate the primer device or the sealer unit to an application position,
wherein the change tool includes an adapter coupled to the robot arm and a docking interface mounted at the adapter and coupled to the connecting portion,
wherein the primer device includes:
a primer housing configured to store the primer;
a primer inlet configured to inject the primer;
a pressure control valve configured to adjust pressure of the primer housing;
a nozzle portion configured to supply the primer disposed within the primer housing into a brush; and
a flow control valve disposed at the nozzle portion to adjust an amount of the exhausted primer,
wherein the brush is configured to apply the primer supplied from the nozzle portion.

2. The application system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a plate coupled to the docking interface;
a belt box disposed at a lower portion of the plate;
a motor configured to provide torque;
a belt disposed within the belt box and configured to receive the torque from the motor; and
an impeller disposed within the primer housing and configured to rotate by receiving torque from the belt to prevent the primer from solidifying.

3. The application system of claim 2 , wherein a plate aperture is formed on the plate or the belt box to monitor the belt disposed within the plate or the belt box.

4. The application system of claim 2 , further comprising:
an elastic portion disposed between the nozzle portion and the brush and having one side thereof fixed to the nozzle portion to decrease vibration generated at the brush is decreased.

5. The application system of claim 4 , wherein the elastic portion includes:
at least one elastic member;
an upper plate mounted and fixed to the upper portion of the elastic member; and
a lower plate configured to support the elastic member at the lower side of the elastic member.
