The rear end of the four sets of rotating circular plates 16 is provided with a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft on the four sets of rotating circular plates 16 is rotatably connected to the four sets of through holes on the two sets of L-shaped plates 15. The four sets of baffles 17 are respectively installed at the rear end of the rotating shafts of the four sets of rotating circular plates 16.

[0025] By setting up a U-shaped frame 11, a reducer 12, a motor 13, gears 14, L-shaped plates 15, rotating circular plates 16, and stop caps 17, and turning on the motor 13, the reducer 12 drives the right gear 14 to rotate, which in turn meshes with the left gear 14. The two sets of gears 14 then drive the two sets of L-shaped plates 15 to rotate outwards. The four auxiliary material boxes 4 rotate and remain vertical under the cooperation of the four sets of rotating circular plates 16 and the four sets of stop caps 17. After the two sets of L-shaped plates 15 have rotated 90 degrees, the motor 13 is turned off, and different colors of paint are added to the four auxiliary material boxes 4. Then, the motor 13 is turned on in the reverse direction. 3. The reducer 12 drives the right gear 14 to rotate in the opposite direction. The right gear 14 meshes with the left gear 14. The two sets of gears 14 drive the two sets of L-shaped plates 15 to rotate inward. The four sets of auxiliary material boxes 4 rotate and always remain vertical under the cooperation of the four sets of rotating circular plates 16 and the four sets of stop caps 17. When the two sets of L-shaped plates 15 are in the vertical state, the motor 13 is turned off and the positioning mechanism is powered on. The positioning mechanism fixes the four sets of stop caps 17, thereby fixing the four sets of auxiliary material boxes 4. This not only facilitates the feeding of the four sets of auxiliary material boxes 4, but also saves the space occupied by the four sets of auxiliary material boxes 4.
[0026] The automatic material changing device for a building spraying robot of the present invention includes an alarm mechanism comprising two sets of telescopic mechanisms 18, two sets of moving plates 19, four sets of telescopic rods 20, four sets of proximity switches 21, four sets of connecting plates 23, four sets of connecting blocks 24, eight sets of connecting shafts 25, eight sets of springs 26, and four sets of top plates 27. The two sets of telescopic mechanisms 18 are respectively installed on the upper rear end of the two sets of L-shaped plates 15. The two sets of moving plates 19 are respectively installed on the output ends of the two sets of telescopic mechanisms 18. The four sets of telescopic rods 20 are respectively installed on the upper front end and lower front end of the two sets of moving plates 19.

The bottom ends of the eight sets of springs 26 are connected to the top of the four sets of rotating circular plates 16. The top ends of the eight sets of springs 26 are connected to the bottom ends of the four sets of top plates 27.
[0027] By configuring telescopic mechanisms 18, movable plates 19, telescopic rods 20, proximity switches 21, through slots 22, connecting plates 23, connecting blocks 24, connecting shafts 25, springs 26, and top plates 27, the four auxiliary material boxes 4, after being filled with paint, will move downwards due to their weight. The four auxiliary material boxes 4, through the mounting mechanism, will drive the four connecting blocks 24 downwards. The four connecting blocks 24, in turn, will drive the four top plates 27 downwards through the four connecting plates 23 and eight connecting shafts 25. The eight springs 26 will be in a compressed state. Then, the two telescopic mechanisms 18 will be opened, causing the two movable plates 19 to move forward. The moving plate 19 drives the four sets of telescopic rods 20 to pass through the four sets of through slots 22 on the two sets of L-shaped plates 15. When the four sets of proximity switches 21 on the four sets of telescopic rods 20 are aligned with the four sets of top plates 27, the two sets of telescopic mechanisms 18 are closed. As the paint in the four sets of auxiliary material boxes 4 is used, the eight sets of springs 26 slowly extend and the four sets of top plates 27 move upward. When the top plate 27 contacts the proximity switch 21 on the telescopic rod 20, it indicates that the paint in the auxiliary material box 4 is used up, and the sound and light alarm in the control room will sound an alarm to remind the staff to add paint in time. When the paint in the auxiliary material box 4 is used up, it can automatically sound an alarm.

[0038] The automatic material changing device for the building spraying robot of the present invention, during operation, firstly, passes four sets of auxiliary material boxes 4 through four sets of mounting rings 28. The fixing rings 29 on the four sets of auxiliary material boxes 4 are then fitted with the four sets of mounting rings 28 to fix the four sets of auxiliary material boxes 4. Then, the motor 13 is turned on, and the reducer 12 drives the right gear 14 to rotate. The right gear 14 meshes with the left gear 14, and the two sets of gears 14 drive the two sets of L-shaped plates 15 to rotate outward. The four sets of auxiliary material boxes 4 rotate under the cooperation of the four sets of rotating circular plates 16 and the four sets of stop caps 17 and always remain in a vertical state. After the two sets of L-shaped plates 15 have rotated 90 degrees, the motor 13 is turned off, and different colors of paint are added to the four sets of auxiliary material boxes 4 respectively. The motor 13 is then turned on in the opposite direction, and the reducer 12... The right gear 14 is driven to rotate in the opposite direction, and the right gear 14 meshes with the left gear 14. The two sets of gears 14 drive the two sets of L-shaped plates 15 to rotate inward. The four sets of auxiliary material boxes 4 rotate and remain vertical under the cooperation of the four sets of rotating circular plates 16 and the four sets of baffles 17. When the two sets of L-shaped plates 15 are in a vertical state, the motor 13 is turned off, and then the four sets of electromagnets 30 are energized. The four sets of electromagnets 30 attract the four sets of metal plates 31 and fix the four sets of baffles 17, thereby fixing the four sets of auxiliary material boxes 4. After the four sets of auxiliary material boxes 4 are filled with paint, they will move downward due to their weight. The four sets of auxiliary material boxes 4 drive the four sets of connecting blocks 24 to move downward through the four sets of fixing rings 29. The four sets of connecting blocks 24 are connected to the four sets of connecting plates 23 and the eight sets of connecting blocks 24. The connecting shaft 25 drives the four sets of top plates 27 to move downwards, while the eight sets of springs 26 are in a compressed state. Then, the two sets of telescopic mechanisms 18 are opened, which drive the two sets of moving plates 19 to move forward. The two sets of moving plates 19 drive the four sets of telescopic rods 20 to pass through the four sets of through slots 22 on the two sets of L-shaped plates 15. When the four sets of proximity switches 21 on the four sets of telescopic rods 20 correspond to the positions of the four sets of top plates 27, the two sets of telescopic mechanisms 18 are closed. According to the spraying requirements, the auxiliary solenoid valve 10 on the multi-port connector 9 corresponding to the paint material is opened. If it is paint from one of the four auxiliary material tanks 4, the paint is sprayed out from the spraying robot's nozzle through the connecting pipe and the multi-port connector 9. When it is necessary to replace the paint in the material tank 3, the auxiliary solenoid valve 10 on the multi-port connector 9 is closed, and then the multi-port connector 9 is opened. The auxiliary solenoid valve 10, connected to the clean water tank 5 on the multi-connector 9, aligns the spraying robot's nozzle with the waste water tank 6. Water from the clean water tank 5 is then sprayed from the nozzle into the waste water tank 6 through the multi-connector 9, thus cleaning the multi-connector 9 and the spraying robot's nozzle. Afterward, the auxiliary solenoid valve 10 on the multi-connector 9 is closed, and the main solenoid valve 7 is opened.

According to the above operation, the spraying robot can spray different colors of paint. As the paint in the four auxiliary material tanks 4 is used, the eight springs 26 slowly extend, and the four top plates 27 move upward. When the top plate 27 contacts the proximity switch 21 on the telescopic rod 20, it indicates that the paint in the auxiliary material tank 4 is used up.The audible and visual alarm in the control room will sound to remind staff to add materials in a timely manner.
