[0037] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] refer to Figure 1-18 The automatic painting production line for automobile bumpers shown in the figure includes a spray booth 1, a conveyor belt is provided inside the spray booth 1, a robotic arm 2 is provided inside the spray booth 1, and a paint spraying mechanism 3 is provided at one end of the robotic arm 2. The paint spraying mechanism 3 includes a cluster component 31 for storing paint and adjusting the paint diffusion area and four wind control components 32 for adjusting the paint diffusion angle;
[0039] A support assembly 5 is provided on the conveyor belt inside the spray booth 1 , and a bumper 4 is placed on the support assembly 5 .
[0040] It is worth noting that when painting the bumper 4, the bumper 4 needs to be placed on the support assembly 5 first, and then the conveyor belt transports the support assembly 5 into the spraying room 1, and the paint spraying mechanism 3 will spray the bumper 4 on the support assembly 5, so that the bumper 4 after spraying is not easy to rust and the service life of the bumper 4 is increased.
[0041] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the placement of the bumper 4, the following Figure 15-18 The support assembly 5 shown in the figure includes two support tubes 51 arranged on the upper part of the conveyor belt, and two support frames 52 are fixedly installed on the top of the two support tubes 51. A hollow tube 53 is fixedly installed on the top of the two support frames 52. A retraction rod 56 is slidably installed inside the two hollow tubes 53. The outer surfaces of the two retraction rods 56 are sleeved with springs 55. One end of the two retraction rods 56 is fixedly installed with a T-shaped arc plate 58, and the outer surfaces of the two T-shaped arc plates 58 are sleeved with rubber sleeves 50. The outer surfaces of the two support frames 52 are provided with support rods 54, and one end of the two support rods 54 is rotatably connected with a support plate 57. A spring plate 59 is provided between the two support plates 57 and the support rods 54.
[0042] It is worth noting that when spraying the bumper 4, the bumper 4 needs to be placed on the support assembly 5 first. When the bumper 4 is placed, the inner wall of the bumper 4 will squeeze the rubber sleeve 50, thereby pushing the retracted rod 56 to slide inside the hollow tube 53. The height of the retracted rod 56 is reduced, so that the position of the bumper 4 is tilted, which makes it easier to paint the bumper 4 later.
[0043] A rubber patch is provided on the outer surface of the abutment plate 57. The abutment plate 57 is in an arc shape. The T-shaped arc plate 58 contacts the inner wall of the bumper 4 through the rubber sleeve 50. The abutment plate 57 contacts the lower part of the inner wall of the bumper 4.
[0044] The T-shaped arc plate 58 is made of an elastic plate. When squeezed by the car bumper, the T-head end of the T-shaped arc plate 58 will be deformed and fit the inner wall of the car bumper, and the rubber sleeve 50 has a better anti-slip effect. The sliding retraction rod 56 will squeeze the spring 55 to contract, and then the user presses the car bumper to make the inner wall of the bumper 4 squeeze the plate 57 to rotate, and the spring plate 59 will apply a reaction force to the plate 57 to push the bumper 4, because the plate 57 and the T-shaped arc plate 58 both resist the inner wall of the bumper 4 and apply opposite forces, thereby fixing the bumper 4 between the plate 57 and the T-shaped arc plate 58.
[0045] Furthermore, in order to allow the paint to be evenly sprayed onto the bumper 4, the following Figure 3-6The cluster assembly 31 shown includes a paint storage tank 313 installed inside the robotic arm 2. The outer surface of the paint storage tank 313 is provided with a plurality of wirings 314 distributed in a circular array. A paint spray head 311 is provided at the bottom of the paint storage tank 313. A paint spray cover 312 is provided at the lower part of the outer surface of the paint storage tank 313. The outer surface of the paint spray cover 312 is provided with a ventilation groove 315 connected to the interior thereof.
[0046] It is worth noting that after the bumper 4 is placed as mentioned above, the bumper 4 is sent to the robotic arm 2 by the conveyor belt, and then the robotic arm 2 operates and waves the paint storage tank 313 according to the background program. Because the paint storage tank 313 is provided with an air pressure tube inside, when painting is needed, the paint is sprayed by air pressure to paint the bumper 4. When the paint passes through the paint spray head 311, the paint will be broken up into mist, so that the sprayed paint can evenly cover the surface of the bumper 4.
[0047] Furthermore, in order to prevent the diffused paint from being sprayed onto the paint that has been sprayed evenly, the following Figure 7-14 The wind control component 32 shown includes a mounting member 321 installed inside the ventilation groove 315. A fixing groove 324 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting member 321. The mounting member 321 communicates with the interior of the paint hood 312 through the fixing groove 324. The mounting member 321 is in the shape of a right-angled letter "L", and the top of the mounting member 321 is connected to the wiring 314.
[0048] Two air regulating parts 322 spliced in the shape of the letter "L" are provided inside the mounting part 321. Ventilation holes 325 are provided on the opposite surfaces of the two air regulating parts 322, and a sealing sleeve 326 is provided inside the two vent holes 325. The sealing sleeve 326 is made of rubber and has good elasticity and sealing performance. In addition, the vent holes 325 can make the interiors of the two air regulating parts 322 the same, so that the air flow inside the paint spray cover 312 can be easily transferred into the hollow block 323. The interiors of the two air regulating parts 322 are provided with hollow blocks 323. The outer surfaces of the two hollow blocks 323 are provided with placement grooves 332, and the interiors of the two placement grooves 332 are provided with partitions 327. The interiors of the two partitions 327 are slidably installed with partitions 329. The tops of the two partitions 329 are provided with a plurality of plastic springs 331, and the upper parts of the plurality of plastic springs 331 are commonly provided with electromagnetic blocks 328.
[0049] It is worth noting that after the paint is dispersed and sprayed onto the surface of the bumper 4 in a mist form by the paint spray head 311, because the bumper 4 has an irregular shape and many corners, when the paint spray head 311 sprays paint on the edges and corners of the bumper 4, the paint diffused in a pointed cone will spread onto the paint already sprayed on the surface of the bumper 4;
[0050] The electromagnetic block 328 is fixedly mounted on the top of the inner wall of the gas regulating member 322 , and the electromagnetic block 328 is electrically connected to the wiring 314 ;
[0051] In order to prevent the bumper 4 from being over-painted due to multiple sprayings, the user can control the power supply of the electromagnetic block 328 to generate a magnetic force. When the electromagnetic block 328 is energized and has a magnetic force, it will attract the partition 329 and move it upward. When the partition 329 moves upward, it will also shrink the extrusion spring 331. When the partition 329 moves upward and slides out of the partition tube 327, the airflow ejected from the paint hood 312 will enter the hollow block 323 and finally be ejected from the hollow block 323. There are eight hollow blocks 323 in total, and The eight hollow blocks 323 are combined into a square. When the user is painting a corner, in order to control the paint to spread in one direction, the user can choose to open the hollow block 323 through which the airflow passes according to the position of the paint. When two hollow blocks 323 in the same straight line are opened at the same time, an anti-splash wind wall will be formed on the side of the diffused paint, which can block the diffusion of the paint, thereby ensuring that the paint after spraying will not be thickened by re-spraying, and can also prevent the paint surface from cracking or paint bubbles when the surface of the bumper 4 is subsequently baked.
[0052] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when using the automatic painting production line for automobile bumpers, the automobile bumper that needs to be painted and rust-proofed is placed on the rubber sleeve 50, and then the automobile bumper is pressed to push the retracted rod 56 to slide inside the hollow tube 53 through the T-shaped arc plate 58. The T-shaped arc plate 58 is made of elastic plate. When squeezed by the automobile bumper, the T-shaped head end of the T-shaped arc plate 58 will deform and fit the inner wall of the automobile bumper. The rubber sleeve 50 has a good anti-slip effect, and the sliding retracted rod 56 will squeeze the spring 55 to retract. Then, the user presses the car bumper so that the inner wall of the bumper 4 squeezes the butt plate 57 to rotate, and the spring plate 59 will exert a reaction force on the butt plate 57 to push the bumper 4. Because the butt plate 57 and the T-shaped arc plate 58 both contact the inner wall of the bumper 4 and exert opposite forces, the bumper 4 is fixed between the butt plate 57 and the T-shaped arc plate 58. Because the bumper 4 has its own weight and the special fixing method makes the T-shaped arc plate 58 bear the entire weight of the bumper 4, squeezing the spring 55 to contract, so that the fixed and swinging bumper 4 is tilted;
[0053] When the bumper 4 is placed, the bumper 4 is sent to the robot arm 2 inside the spray booth 1 as the conveyor belt moves. The robot arm 2 moves according to the program set in the background, and then the air pressure tube and paint spray tube inserted into the paint storage tank 313 by the robot arm are used to control the paint spray head 311 to spray paint. When the paint spray head 311 sprays paint, the sprayed paint spreads in a cone shape and covers the surface of the bumper 4. When it is necessary to paint the corners of the bumper 4, in order to prevent the sprayed paint from spreading again to the paint that has been sprayed, the user can control the power supply of the control wiring 314 to make the electromagnetic block 328 have magnetic force. After the electromagnetic block 328 has magnetic force due to power supply, it will attract the partition 329 to move upward. When the partition 329 moves upward, it will also squeeze the plastic spring 331 to contract. When the partition 329 moves upward and slides out of the partition tube 327, the paint sprayer 311 will be removed from the spray booth 1. The airflow ejected from the cover 312 will enter the hollow block 323 and finally be ejected from the hollow block 323. There are a total of eight hollow blocks 323, and the eight hollow blocks 323 are combined in a square shape. When painting the corners of the bumper 4, in order to control the paint to diffuse in one direction, the hollow block 323 through which the airflow passes can be selected according to the position of the paint. When the two hollow blocks 323 in the same straight line are opened at the same time, a splash-proof wind wall will be formed on the side of the diffused paint, which can block the diffusion of the paint, thereby ensuring that the paint after spraying will not be thickened by re-spraying, and the vent hole 325 is used in conjunction with the sealing sleeve 326 to allow the interior of the two sets of air regulating parts 322 to communicate. By manipulating the electromagnetic block 328, the direction of the airflow through the hollow block 323 can be quickly controlled, which can achieve multi-directional blocking of the direction of paint diffusion.
[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
