[0075] in b1 and b2 are known parameters, p f p is the air pressure of the spray pattern. w The pressure of the atomized air.
[0076] The parameters and principles mentioned above will be explained in detail below:
[0077] Air spraying is a coating process that uses compressed air to atomize paint into tiny particles and deposit them onto the surface of a workpiece to form a continuous coating. The coating formation process is very complex, involving many physical processes such as fluid dynamics, flow, atomization, evaporation, and deposition. Therefore, many factors affect the coating thickness distribution. This paper classifies these influencing factors into four categories, as shown in Table 1.
[0078] Table 1 Factors affecting coating effect
[0079] Tab.1 Factors affecting the coating effect
[0080]
[0081] Of these four types of parameters, the spraying device and external environment are generally constant for the same spraying robot or the same batch of spraying operations, and therefore do not need to be used as independent variables in the spray gun model. Among the spraying parameters, the needle valve position is generally not changed after being set; atomization pressure, spray width pressure, and spray gun flow rate are all constant adjustment quantities in spraying operations and need to be used as independent variables in the model, while changes in the material supply pressure are directly reflected in the flow rate, so there is no need to select them repeatedly. Among the path parameters, spraying distance and spraying rate are frequently adjusted according to different spraying operations, and therefore need to be used as independent variables in the spraying model. The spraying angle is unnecessary because in most spraying operations the spray gun axis is strictly perpendicular to the workpiece surface or at a fixed tilt angle, and "compared to the spraying speed, a small change in angle (<20%) has a negligible impact on the spraying quality." Since the research object in this paper is not significantly related to the thickness of the adhesive film, the independent variables in the final determined spray gun model include spraying distance h and spray width air pressure p. f and atomizing air pressure p w The basic principle of spraying experiment trajectory offset is as follows: Figure 2 The atomizing air pressure and spray width air pressure are adjusted by the adhesive supply system, while the spraying distance is controlled by the spraying robotic arm.
[0082] To establish the spray distance model, a straight-line experiment perpendicular to the spray surface was designed. This experiment yields a straight-line coating, such as... Figure 3 As shown, by using fixed-point spraying to complete the gun switching action in a short time (0.3-0.5s), an elliptical coating can be obtained, which facilitates the analysis of the influence of different parameters on the spray width.
[0083] Although the sprayed paint appears uniform in actual spraying operations, the distribution of paint particles is actually non-uniform. Spraying experiments revealed that the paint distribution space is conical, while the distribution on the workpiece surface is elliptical, with the major and minor axes of the ellipse designated as 'a' and 'b'. When the spray gun is opened, paint accumulates within the sprayed area, and the shape of the coating thickness curve is similar in both the x and y axes. Therefore, it is assumed that the coating growth rate curves along both the x and y axes follow a β-distribution model, and that the β value is the same for the cross-sectional curves in the same direction.
[0084] Since the coating surface on the workpiece is elliptical, its minor and major axis lengths a and b increase with the increase of the vertical spraying distance d. Due to the different cone angles on the x-axis and y-axis, the major and minor axes of the coating surface under different vertical distances are as shown in formula (1).
[0085]
[0086] In equation (1): a and b are the minor axis and length during vertical spraying, respectively; d is the spray distance during vertical spraying; α x and α y These are the fog cone angles of the glue gun in the x and y directions, respectively.
[0087] According to process requirements, for applying adhesive to the sidewalls of the shoe sole, the glue gun is not perpendicular to the sidewall, but rather at a certain angle θ, such as... Figure 4 As shown. The spraying distance and spraying width are as shown in formula (2).
[0088]
[0089] In formula (2): h is the spray distance of the tilt spray and L is the width of the tilt spray.
[0090] Analysis revealed that the cone angle of the spray gun is significantly influenced by factors such as the gun's structure, atomization pressure, and spray width pressure. Generally, the cone angle is controlled by altering the atomization pressure and spray width pressure. Multiple spraying experiments yielded the following findings: 1) x-axis α x With p f Decrease or p w Increases with increasing, and decreases with decreasing; 2) y-axis α y With p f and p w Simultaneously, it increases with increasing flow rate q, and decreases with decreasing flow rate q; 3) The cone angle also increases with increasing flow rate q. Therefore, the relationship between the cone angle, the spray gun flow rate, and the air pressure is proposed as shown in formula (3).
[0091]
[0092] In formula (3): and These are the coefficients for the x-axis and y-axis.
[0093] Based on the analysis of experimental data and parameter optimization, we obtain a1 = 1, a2 = 1 / 3, b1 = 1 / 2, b2 = 1 / 3. When the atomization pressure, adhesive spraying pressure, and spraying flow rate change, the cone angle of the spraying model can be predicted using equation (3). Figure 5 As shown.
[0094] Considering the complex surface of the actual curved surface of athletic shoe soles, the adhesive spraying trajectory curve is generally offset from the sole contour curve towards its principal normal. However, since this offset is done manually based on engineering experience, it cannot be guaranteed that all the adhesive sprayed from the gun will land on the sole surface. Therefore, an ideal adhesive spraying trajectory curve needs to meet two conditions: first, the curve is an offset curve relative to the sole contour line; second, the atomized adhesive sprayed from the gun must land completely on the side curved surface of the sole. The adhesive spraying trajectory curve is closely related to the spraying model, with the spraying of the gun directly affecting the adhesive spraying trajectory curve. According to equations (1) and (3), the relationship between the vertical spraying distance d and the major and minor axes a and b of the sprayed coverage area can be obtained as shown in equation (4).
[0095]
[0096] In equation (4): For a1, a2, b1, and b2 have been derived based on experimental data analysis and parameter optimization, while the spray pressure p f and p w The atomization pressure is fixed for the same batch of work objects. Based on the above formula, the accurate relationship between the vertical spray distance d and the spray width b is shown in formula (5).
[0097]
[0098] For actual glue application, the glue gun and the spraying surface are tilted at an angle θ according to the process requirements, such as... Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the actual spray width L and spray distance d are related as shown in formula (6).
[0099]
[0100] The trajectory points extracted from 3D visual point cloud data are p n =(x n ,y n ,z n The corresponding spray width is L, and the trajectory point is p. n The region normal vector n = (a, b, c) is known, and the offset trajectory point is p′.n =(x′) n ,y′ n ,z′ n If the bias trajectory is as shown in formula (7), then the bias trajectory is as shown in formula (7).
[0101]
[0102] In equation (7): α, β, γ are the offset spray distance and coordinate system x′ n ,y′ n ,z′ n The included angles of the three coordinate axes, such as Figure 6 As shown.
[0103] The bias trajectory can be obtained through the above methods, such as Figure 7 As shown.
