[0034] In addition, in the following description, specific details are provided to facilitate a thorough understanding of the examples. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the aspects can be practiced without these specific details.

[0035] As Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a reciprocating polishing sandpaper system for paint surfaces, including a robotic arm 1, a grinding section 2, and an automatic sandpaper replacement section 3.

[0036] The robotic arm 1 is located above the grinding section 2, and the function of the robotic arm 1 is to drive the grinding section 2 to move freely. The robotic arm 1 has a numerical control base and a robotic arm body disposed on the numerical control base, and the tail end of the robotic arm body is connected to the numerical control base. The numerical control base is communicatively connected to the drive mechanism in the grinding section 2. The numerical control base can be communicatively connected to the drive mechanism through a wireless module or through a wire disposed inside the robotic arm body. The wireless module can be a Bluetooth module, an infrared module, a wifi module, a zigbee module, etc. The numerical control base drives the grinding section 2 to move freely and controls the drive mechanism to move the grinding assembly, thereby ensuring that the grinding section 2 corresponds to the paint surface of the workpiece to be ground and polished in real time.

[0037] The function of the grinding section 2 is to grind the paint surface of the workpiece. The grinding section 2 is connected to the head end of the robotic arm body and is used to grind the paint surface of the workpiece under the drive of the robotic arm body, thereby controlling the depth of paint removal. The grinding section includes a grinding assembly and a drive mechanism for driving the grinding assembly. The grinding assembly includes a sandpaper 19 mounted on the bottom surface of the drive mechanism and a grinding force control unit 21 penetrating the drive mechanism. The force control motor of the grinding force control unit 21 is mounted in a flange connected to the robotic arm body, and the grinding force control unit 21 can perform flexible grinding on the paint surface according to the surface complexity of the workpiece.

[0038] As Figure 2 shown, in one of the embodiments, the drive mechanism includes a power transmission assembly 300, a follow-up lifting assembly 400, and a reciprocating yawing assembly 500.

[0039] The reciprocating yawing assembly 500 is used to drive the grinding assembly to reciprocally grind the paint surface of the workpiece.

[0040] The follow-up lifting assembly 400 is used to perform floating lifting on the grinding assembly.

[0041] The power transmission assembly 300 is used to drive the reciprocating yawing assembly and the follower lifting assembly. As Figure 3 shown, in one embodiment, the power transmission assembly 300 includes a transmission motor 6, a driving wheel 7, a driven wheel 8, and a transmission belt 10. The output shaft of the transmission motor 6 is connected to the driving wheel 7, the driving wheel 7 and the driven wheel 8 are connected by the transmission belt 10. The transmission motor 6 drives the driving wheel 7 and the transmission belt 10 to rotate, and transmits the power to the driven wheel 8. The driven wheel 8 is connected to the follower lifting assembly 400. In one embodiment, the power transmission assembly 300 further includes an idler wheel assembly 9. The main function of the idler wheel assembly 9 is to press the transmission belt 10, so that the transmission belt 10 is always in a tightened state, making the kinetic energy transmission more stable. The idler wheel assembly 9 can be a bump or a strip fixed on the end face or other components. In one of the embodiments, the follower lifting assembly 400 includes a transmission sleeve 12 that receives the rotational power transmitted by the power transmission assembly, a transmission shaft 14 that rotates coaxially with the transmission sleeve, and a needle roller guide bearing 13 that drives the transmission shaft to slide up and down. The needle roller guide bearing 13 has a cavity for accommodating the transmission shaft.

[0042] In another embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the follower lifting assembly 400 includes a pillow block bearing 11, a transmission sleeve 12, a needle roller guide bearing 13, a transmission shaft 14, and a needle roller thrust bearing seat 15. The rotational power is transmitted from the driven wheel 8 to the transmission sleeve 12, and then transmitted to the transmission shaft 14. The up and down sliding of the transmission shaft 14 is achieved by installing a needle roller guide bearing 13 at the lower end of the transmission sleeve 12. The inner cavity of the needle roller guide bearing 13 is a polygon. In one example, needle rollers are provided between the inner wall of the needle roller guide bearing 13 and the transmission shaft 14, and the needle rollers can reduce the friction force of the up and down sliding. The transmission shaft 14 is also a polygon structure corresponding to the inner cavity of the needle roller guide bearing 13, so as to effectively transmit the power. In one embodiment, two deep groove ball bearings can be embedded inside the pillow block bearing 11, and a plain bearing and a needle roller bearing are embedded inside the needle roller thrust bearing seat 15, so as to effectively control the yawing force in the rotational direction and make the assembly operate stably.

[0043] As Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the reciprocating yaw assembly 500 includes a yaw wheel 16, a yaw rod 17, a reciprocating plate 18, and a micro guide rail 20. The yaw wheel 16 receives the rotational power transmitted by the transmission shaft 14 of the follower lifting assembly 400. One end of the yaw rod 17 is connected to the yaw wheel 16, and the other end is fixed to the reciprocating plate 18. The reciprocating plate 18 reciprocates along the micro guide rail 20. One end of the yaw rod 17 is fixed to the yaw wheel 16 and the other end is fixed to the reciprocating plate 18, and micro guide rails 20 are installed on both the left and right sides of the reciprocating plate 18, thus forming a three-link assembly to ensure the reciprocating swing of the reciprocating plate 18 back and forth. The polishing assembly includes sandpaper installed on the bottom surface of the reciprocating plate and a polishing force control unit provided on the other side surface of the reciprocating plate.

[0044] The function of the sandpaper automatic replacement unit 3 is to automatically replace the sandpaper on the polishing unit 2, reduce manual participation, and improve work efficiency. The sandpaper automatic replacement unit 3 is used to replace the sandpaper for polishing the workpiece paint surface in the polishing assembly.

[0045] For the above-mentioned reciprocating grinding and polishing sandpaper system for paint surface, the reciprocating frequency is precisely controlled by means of motor drive, and the motor is arranged in the flange connected to the robot body, without occupying the flexible force control end load, solving the limitation of the weight of the flexible force control end tool and making the flexible force control end load light. It can accurately control the force output below 10N without distortion, and is well-suited for scenarios with high requirements for the depth of paint surface removal. Moreover, the required motor power can be selected according to the actual application working conditions without considering the limitation of the flexible force control on the motor weight. It can be equipped with flexible force control, accurately control the grinding and polishing process parameters, achieve precise grinding and polishing of the paint surface, and ensure the stability and consistency of the product. Furthermore, the system is also provided with a sandpaper automatic replacement unit, which can automatically replace the sandpaper.

[0046] As Figure 6 shown, in one embodiment, the sandpaper automatic replacement unit includes a workbench 22, a sandpaper peeling mechanism 23, a sandpaper installation mechanism 24, and a pneumatic control mechanism 25.

[0047] The workbench 22 is used to fix the sandpaper peeling mechanism 23, the sandpaper installation mechanism 24, and the pneumatic control mechanism 25.

[0048] The sandpaper peeling mechanism 23 is arranged on the upper surface of the workbench and is located on one side of the workbench. It has a belt that can contact the sandpaper of the polishing assembly and a peeling assembly that peels the sandpaper on the belt from one side of the polishing assembly.

[0049] As Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in one embodiment, the sandpaper stripping mechanism includes a belt sliding assembly 26 and a stripping assembly 27. When replacing the grinding sandpaper 19, since the grinding force control unit 21 of the grinding part 2 applies a force to the sandpaper 19, the grinding sandpaper 19 is closely attached to the belt sliding assembly 26. When the grinding part 2 moves in the Figure 8 right direction, the stripping assembly 27 can hook the root of the grinding sandpaper 19 and strip the used grinding sandpaper 19 from the grinding part 2.

[0050] In one embodiment, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, the belt sliding assembly 26 has a belt 31 that abuts against the lower surface of the sandpaper, a support plate 30 located below the belt 31 for supporting the downward pressure of the grinding assembly, a tensioning roller 28 and an idler roller 29 arranged at both ends of the support plate 30 to cooperate in tensioning the belt. The tensioning roller 28 and the idler roller 29 at the front and rear ends of the sliding belt 31 can keep the sliding belt 31 always in a tensioned state and slide linearly in opposite directions. The support plate 30 is located between the tensioning roller 28 and the idler roller 29, and it can play a role in supporting the downward pressure of the grinding part 2. In one embodiment, a grease is provided between the sliding belt 31 and the support plate 30, so as to better reduce the friction force.

[0051] In one embodiment, the tensioning roller 28 includes a tensioning wheel shaft 33, a tensioning roller sleeve 34, and a tensioning wheel bearing 35. The outer surface of the tensioning roller sleeve 34 has a certain slope, so that it can automatically center when the sliding belt 31 makes a translational movement. In one embodiment, fine-tuning screws are installed on both sides of the tensioning roller 28, which is convenient for the debugging personnel to install and debug. The shape of the tensioning roller sleeve 34 can be a constant-width figure or other irregular circles, such as a Reuleaux triangle, etc. The idler roller 29 includes an idler wheel shaft 32 and an idler wheel bearing 36. In this way, when the sliding belt 31 makes a translational movement, the idler roller 29 can make a follow-up rotational movement.

[0052] The stripping assembly 27 is arranged above the belt and close to one side of the tensioning roller, and has a sandpaper stripping plate 37 that contacts the upper surface of the sandpaper. In one embodiment, the stripping assembly 27 includes a sandpaper stripping plate 37 and a cleaning nozzle 39. The sandpaper stripping plate 37 is fixed on the workbench and contacts the upper surface of the sandpaper, and has barbs for stripping the sandpaper. The cleaning nozzle 39 is used to clean the stripped sandpaper. In one embodiment, as Figure 11As shown, the automatic sandpaper replacement unit 3 can also be provided with a photoelectric sensor 38 and a color sensor 40. The sandpaper stripping plate 37 can strip the abrasive sandpaper 19 that has been translated. The photoelectric sensor 38 can detect whether there is any waste abrasive sandpaper 19 falling off. If not, it indicates that the stripping was not successful. The grinding unit 2 repeats the translation action until the stripping is successful, or the device alarms to remind the staff. The function of the cleaning nozzle 39 is to blow the stripped abrasive sandpaper 19 to the lower part of the device, so as not to let the waste abrasive sandpaper 19 jam the feeding port area (i.e., the sandpaper installation area). The color sensor 40 is used to detect whether the abrasive sandpaper 19 is successfully attached to the grinding unit 2 after the new sandpaper is installed. If the detection shows that the attachment is not successful, the grinding unit 2 repeats the sandpaper attachment action until it is successful.

[0053] In one embodiment, as Figure 12 shown, the sandpaper installation mechanism 24 is located on the other side of the workbench, and includes a positioning component 41 located on the upper surface of the workbench for positioning the grinding assembly and a sandpaper installation component 42 for installing sandpaper located inside the workbench.

[0054] The pneumatic control mechanism 25 is arranged inside the workbench and is used to drive the sandpaper stripping mechanism and the sandpaper installation mechanism.

[0055] As Figure 13 shown, in one of the embodiments, the positioning component 41 includes a positioning vertical rod 46 that can slide on the upper surface of the workbench, a telescopic cylinder 43 arranged near the edge of the workbench for driving the movement of the positioning vertical rod, and a stopper 44 and a stopper block 45 that cooperate to limit the positioning vertical rod. When the telescopic shaft of the telescopic cylinder 43 extends out, since the stopper 44 abuts against the stopper block 45, the telescopic cylinder 43 stops operating, thereby ensuring that the positioning vertical rod 46 moves to the relative position. The position of the stopper 44 is not fixed and can be locked as needed. During the debugging of the device, the front and rear positions of the stopper 44 can be finely adjusted to position the grinding unit 2.

[0056] As Figure 14 shown, in one of the embodiments, the sandpaper installation component 42 includes a lifting plate 50 for replacing the sandpaper, a lifting cylinder 47 fixed inside the workbench for driving the lifting plate, a guide rod 48 and a guide sleeve 49 for guiding the lifting of the lifting plate, and a support rod 51 for fixing the lifting plate inside the workbench. The lifting cylinder 47 is connected to the lifting plate 50 and gives the lifting plate 50 a pushing and pulling force for up and down telescoping. The guide sleeve 49 and the guide rod 48 play a role in guiding the linear lifting. The support rod 51 connects the entire sandpaper installation component 42 on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also provide peripheral limits for the abrasive sandpaper 19 in the four directions of front, rear, left, and right, so as not to let the abrasive sandpaper 19 fall out of the sandpaper installation component 42.

[0057] The pneumatic control mechanism 25 is located inside the workbench 22. Separating out the pneumatic control mechanism 25 can facilitate the debugging personnel to debug and maintain the equipment.

[0058] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the technical field of the present application within the technical scope disclosed by the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
