DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-2 The present application will be further described in detail.

[0041] The present application discloses a walk-on bead receiving station for a paint-supplied quantitative walk-on bead type fast color changing system. It is used to be connected with a walk-on bead emitting station through a main pipeline, and the walk-on bead emitting station emits three walk-on beads to the walk-on bead receiving station, and the installation emitting sequence is first walk-on bead, second walk-on bead and third walk-on bead in turn, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The walk-on bead receiving station for a paint-supplied quantitative walk-on bead type fast color changing system comprises a receiving valve block 1 for receiving a first walk-on bead (not shown in the figure) and a second walk-on bead (not shown in the figure), and a recovery and cleaning module 3 for recovering paint in the main pipeline and cleaning the pipeline. The receiving valve block 1 is provided with a waste liquid discharge module 2 for recovering waste liquid in the main pipeline. When the recovery and cleaning module 3 is started, a certain amount of solvent is filled between the first walk-on bead and the second walk-on bead, and the first walk-on bead, the second walk-on bead and the solvent between the first walk-on bead and the second walk-on bead are pushed to walk in the main pipeline. The receiving valve block 1, the recovery and cleaning valve block 31 and the waste liquid discharge module 2 are all connected to the controller of the system to realize automatic control of waste liquid recovery, paint recovery in the main pipeline and pipeline cleaning, so that the operation is more convenient and labor-saving, and the overall paint changing time is shortened.

[0042] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2The waste liquid module 2 comprises a first waste liquid discharge pipe 21 and a second waste liquid discharge pipe 24 installed on the receiving valve block 1, the first waste liquid discharge pipe 21 is located on the side of the second waste liquid discharge pipe 24 away from the bead launching station, the other end of the first waste liquid discharge pipe 21 is connected to a first collecting barrel (not shown in the figure), and the other end of the second waste liquid discharge pipe 24 is connected to a second collecting barrel (not shown in the figure). The waste liquid in front of the first bead is discharged through the first waste liquid discharge pipe 21 and collected by the first collecting barrel, and the waste liquid between the first bead and the second bead is discharged through the second waste liquid discharge pipe 24 and collected by the second collecting barrel, so that the two kinds of waste liquid are collected and recycled. A first recycling valve 22 is installed between the first waste liquid discharge pipe 21 and the receiving valve block 1, and a second recycling valve 25 is installed between the second waste liquid discharge pipe 24 and the receiving valve block 1, and the first recycling valve 22 and the second recycling valve 25 are connected to the controller of the system. Under normal circumstances, the first recycling valve 22 is in an open state and the second recycling valve 25 is in a closed state, when the waste liquid in front of the first bead is discharged, the controller controls the first recycling valve 22 to be closed and the second recycling valve 25 to be opened, and when the waste liquid between the first bead and the second bead is discharged, the controller controls the second recycling valve 25 to be closed, so as to prevent the paint filled between the second bead and the third bead from being discharged and wasted.

[0043] Referring to Figure 2 In order to more accurately control the opening and closing time of the first recycling valve 22 and the second recycling valve 25, a first proximity switch 23 for detecting the position of the first bead and a second proximity switch 26 for detecting the position of the second bead are installed on the receiving valve block 1, and the first proximity switch 23 is located on the side of the second proximity switch 26 away from the bead launching station. The first proximity switch 23 and the second proximity switch 26 are also connected to the controller of the system, when the first bead enters the receiving station and contacts the first proximity switch 23, the first proximity switch 23 sends a signal to the controller, the controller controls the first recycling valve 22 to be closed and the second recycling valve 25 to be opened; when the second bead enters the receiving valve block 1 and contacts the second proximity switch 26, the second proximity switch 26 sends a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the second recycling valve 25 to be closed, completing the recycling of the waste liquid in the main pipeline.

[0044] Referring to Figure 2The recovery and cleaning module 3 comprises a cleaning valve block 31, a solvent pipe interface 35 installed on the cleaning valve block 31, and an air interface 33 installed on the cleaning valve block 31, a solvent pipe is installed on the solvent pipe interface 35, the other end of the solvent pipe is connected to a solvent tank (not shown in the figure), a solvent valve 36 for controlling the access of solvent is installed on the cleaning valve block 31; the other end of the air interface 33 is connected to an air compressor (not shown in the figure), and an air valve 34 for controlling the access of air is installed on the cleaning valve block 31. A first pipe 32 is connected between the cleaning valve block 31 and the receiving valve block 1, and a front medium valve 37 for controlling the opening and closing of the first pipe 32 is also installed on the receiving valve block 1. When recovering paint and cleaning the pipe, the controller controls the opening of the solvent valve 36 and the front medium valve 37, the solvent enters the cleaning valve block 31 from the solvent tank, and then enters between the first bead and the second bead along the first pipe 32. Due to the entry of the solvent, the second bead enters the main pipeline and travels in the main pipeline along with the filling of the solvent until the solvent is filled to the standard value of the solvent preset in the controller.

[0045] In order to accurately determine the amount of solvent filled between the first bead and the second bead, and save cost as much as possible under the premise of completely cleaning the main pipeline, a time meter (not shown in the figure) is also installed on the bead receiving station, the time meter is connected with the second proximity switch 26 and the controller, after the second bead is launched, the contact relationship with the second proximity switch 26 is released, the second proximity switch 26 triggers the time meter to start timing, the standard value of the solvent filling between the first bead and the second bead is pre-designed in the controller, and the expected filling time of the solvent filling can be converted according to the flow rate of the solvent. When the controller detects that the value displayed by the time meter reaches the expected filling time, the controller controls the closing of the solvent valve 36 and the front medium valve 37, and controls the opening of the air valve 34, so that the air generated in the compressor enters the receiving valve block 1 along the first pipe 32 to drive the first bead to travel in the main pipeline. Under the drive of the first bead, the second bead and the solvent between the first bead and the second bead also travel along the main pipeline, and the cleaning of the paint on the wall of the main pipeline is completed.

[0046] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2In order to make the first beads walk smoothly in the main pipeline, reduce the probability of the first beads becoming dry and difficult to walk due to the long contact time with air, the rear medium valve 38 is installed on the receiving valve block 1. When the solvent between the first beads and the second beads is filled, the front medium valve 37 is closed, the solvent valve 36 is kept open, the controller controls the rear medium valve 38 to open, and the solvent enters the end of the first beads away from the second beads to lubricate the walking of the first beads. The controller is pre-set with a lubrication value of filling the solvent at the rear end of the first beads. According to the flow rate of the solvent, the time required for filling the solvent at the rear end of the first beads to the lubrication value is calculated. When the time reaches the set time, the controller controls the solvent valve 36 and the rear medium valve 38 to close, and controls the air valve 34 to open.

[0047] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the air valve 34 includes a low-pressure air valve 342 and a high-pressure air valve 341 installed on the cleaning valve block 31, and the air interface 33 includes a high-pressure air interface 331 for accessing high-pressure air and a low-pressure air interface 332 for accessing first air. When the solvent valve 36 and the rear medium valve 38 are closed, the controller first controls the high-pressure air valve 341 to open, so that the first beads and the second beads can smoothly complete the "start" in the main pipeline. Then the controller controls the high-pressure air valve 341 to close and the low-pressure air valve 342 to open, so as to input continuous air flow in the main pipeline to push the first beads and the second beads to walk smoothly in the main pipeline until the paint in the main pipeline is recovered, and the cleaning of the wall of the main pipeline is completed as the solvent between the first beads and the second beads walks in the main pipeline.

[0048] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the receiving valve block 1 is also provided with a pressure sensor 4 for detecting the pressure in the main pipeline and a temperature sensor 5 for detecting the temperature of the paint in the main pipeline. The pressure sensor 4 and the temperature sensor 5 are connected to the display screen (not shown in the figure) of the controller, so as to facilitate the real-time observation and monitoring of the staff, and ensure the stable operation of the receiving station.

[0049] The implementation principle of the receiving station of the quantitative bead running type fast color changing system for paint supply is as follows: in operation, the first recovery valve 22 is in an open state, waste liquid at the front end of the first bead first enters the receiving valve block 1 and then enters the first collection barrel along the first waste liquid discharge pipeline 21; then the receiving valve block 1 receives the first bead, the first bead contacts the first proximity switch 23 after entering the receiving valve block 1, the controller controls the first recovery valve 22 to close and controls the second recovery valve 25 to open, the waste liquid between the first bead and the second bead enters the second collection barrel along the second waste liquid discharge pipeline 24, when the second bead enters the receiving valve block 1 and contacts the second proximity switch 26, the second proximity switch 26 controls the second recovery valve 25 to close. When the paint spraying work is completed, the controller controls the solvent valve 36 and the front medium valve 37 to open, the solvent in the solvent barrel enters between the first bead and the second bead along the first pipeline 32, when the solvent fills to the solvent value preset in the controller, the controller controls the front medium valve 37 to close and controls the rear medium valve 38 to open, then the solvent enters the rear end of the first bead along the first pipeline 32, when the rear end of the first bead fills to the lubrication value preset in the controller, the controller controls the rear medium valve 38 to close, controls the high-pressure air valve 341 to open, so that the first bead and the second bead are smoothly “started” in the main pipeline, then the controller controls the high-pressure air valve 341 to close and controls the low-pressure air valve 342 to open, so that the low-pressure air is continuously introduced into the main pipeline, so that the first bead, the second bead and the solvent between the first bead and the second bead are smoothly running in the main pipeline to recover the paint in the main pipeline to the bead launching station, and at the same time, the first bead and the second bead are quantitatively cleaned between the solvent main pipeline, which saves the cost of pipeline cleaning and improves the efficiency of paint recovery and pipeline cleaning
