Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of toilet glazing technology, specifically to a robotic glazing system. Background Technology

[0002] Glazing the surface of the toilet is to prevent the growth of limescale and bacteria, making it less likely for dirt to adhere, ensuring smoother water supply and drainage, and making it easier to clean.

[0003] Currently, manufacturers primarily rely on manual spraying of glaze onto toilet surfaces. This method is prone to incomplete coverage, uneven application, and glaze waste, resulting in poor final glazing quality. Furthermore, manual operation is inefficient and often fails to meet production demands. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing glazing method to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes a robotic glazing system that solves the problems of incomplete and uneven glazing in related technologies.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A robotic glazing system, comprising,

[0007] A workbench, set on the ground;

[0008] A rotary table, rotatably mounted on the worktable;

[0009] The toilet seat is rotatably mounted on the rotating platform, and its rotation axis is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating platform.

[0010] Two guide plates are mounted on the worktable in opposite directions, located on both sides of the toilet seat. Their movement direction is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotary table. The outline of the guide plates is the same as the side outline of the toilet. Both guide plates have through grooves, and the glazing pipe is slidably mounted in the through grooves via a slider.

[0011] As a further technical solution, it also includes,

[0012] A protective shell is positioned at the center of the top of the rotating platform;

[0013] Rotation drive component one is connected to the rotary table and is located inside the protective shell.

[0014] As a further technical solution, it also includes,

[0015] A second rotation drive component is located at the bottom of the rotating platform and is driven to connect with the toilet seat. The second rotation drive component is placed horizontally.

[0016] As a further technical solution, it also includes,

[0017] A support base 1 is disposed on one of the guide plates and has a sliding groove 1;

[0018] Traction block one is slidably disposed within the slide groove one;

[0019] One elastic element acts on the inner wall of the first slide groove and on the first traction block at the other end, and is used to apply a pulling force to the first traction block.

[0020] Support base two, disposed on another guide plate, has a sliding groove two;

[0021] The second traction block is slidably disposed within the second slide groove;

[0022] The second elastic element acts on the inner wall of the second sliding groove at one end and on the second traction block at the other end, and is used to apply a thrust to the first traction block.

[0023] As a further technical solution, it also includes,

[0024] Gears are rotatably mounted on the worktable;

[0033] As a further technical solution, it also includes,

[0034] A collection vehicle is provided, and the collection pool has a drain outlet, with the collection vehicle located below the drain outlet.

[0035] The working principle and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0036] In this invention, a robot, i.e., a robotic arm, is used to glaze the inside and front of the toilet. Simultaneously, two guide plates are used to glaze the sides of the toilet. The guide plates are designed to match the contour of the toilet's sides. Therefore, when the slider slides up and down on the guide plate's groove, its trajectory will be consistent with the cross-sectional shape of the guide plate. For example, if the toilet's side is curved then straight, and the guide plate is also curved then straight, then the slider's trajectory is also curved then straight. Consequently, the glazing pipe's trajectory is also curved then straight. This means the distance between the glazing pipe and the toilet's side remains constant. Glazing the toilet's sides in this way ensures the integrity and uniformity of the glaze surface, improving the quality and efficiency of the glazing process. Attached Figure Description

[0045] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a robotic glazing system, including,

[0047] Workbench 1 is set on the ground;

[0048] Rotary table 2 is rotatably mounted on worktable 1;

[0049] The toilet seat 3 is rotatably mounted on the rotating platform 2, and its rotation axis is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating platform 2.

[0050] Two guide plates 4 are moved toward each other on the workbench 1, located on both sides of the toilet seat 3. Their movement direction is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotary table 2. The outline of the guide plate 4 is the same as the outline of the side 5 of the toilet. Both guide plates 4 have through grooves, and the glazing pipe is slidably set in the through grooves by a slider.

[0051] In this embodiment, to solve the problem of incomplete and uneven glazing in related technologies, a robot, i.e., a manipulator 28, is used to glaze the inside and front of the toilet. On the other hand, two guide plates 4 are used to glaze the two sides 5 of the toilet. The outline of the guide plate 4 is designed to match the outline of the side 5 of the toilet. Therefore, when the slider slides up and down on the through groove of the guide plate 4, its movement trajectory will be consistent with the cross-sectional shape of the guide plate 4. For example, if the side 5 of the toilet is a curve followed by a straight line, the guide plate 4 is also a curve followed by a straight line. Then the movement trajectory of the slider is also a curve followed by a straight line. Therefore, the movement trajectory of the glazing pipe is also a curve followed by a straight line. That is to say, the distance between the glazing pipe and the side 5 of the toilet is always constant. Glazing the side 5 of the toilet in this way can ensure the integrity and high uniformity of the glaze surface of the side 5, and improve the quality and efficiency of glazing.

[0052] The specific working principle is as follows: At each end of the rotary table 2, there is a toilet mount 3. First, the toilet to be glazed is placed on the toilet mount 3 located outside the worktable 1 on the rotary table 2. Then, the toilet mount 3 rotates to adjust the angle of the toilet, aligning it to a preset positive position. Next, the rotary table 2 rotates, moving the toilet to the inside of the worktable 1. Simultaneously, the two guide plates 4 move closer together, eventually stopping at a certain distance from the toilet. At this point, the glazing nozzle is directly opposite the side 5 of the toilet, and the robotic arm is in position, then the glazing process begins. The lifting and sliding of the slider can be driven by external components such as cylinders.

[0053] Furthermore, it also includes,

[0054] The protective shell 7 is located at the middle of the top of the rotating platform 2;

[0055] The rotation drive component 8 is connected to the rotary table 2 and is located inside the protective shell 7.

[0056] In this embodiment, the rotation drive component 8 can be a motor and a reducer. The motor is mounted on the top of the rotary table 2 to avoid moisture damage from mounting it on the bottom, thus extending the motor's service life. The protective shell 7 prevents the drive component from sticking with slurry or ash.

[0057] Furthermore, it also includes,

[0058] Rotation drive component 29 is located at the bottom of the rotating platform 2 and is connected to the toilet seat 3. Rotation drive component 29 is placed horizontally.

[0059] In this embodiment, the rotating drive component 2 9 can be a motor. The horizontal placement is to reduce the height of the toilet seat 3, which can reduce the moving distance of the toilet on the toilet seat 3. If a special situation occurs that requires manual handling of the toilet, it can save manpower and resources and reduce production costs.

[0060] Furthermore, it also includes,

[0061] Support base 10 is mounted on one of the guide plates 4 and has a sliding groove 6;

[0062] Traction block 12 is slidably disposed within slide groove 6;

[0063] The elastic element 13 has one end acting on the inner wall of the slide groove 6 and the other end acting on the traction block 12, and is used to apply a pulling force to the traction block 12.

[0064] Support base 2 14 is mounted on another guide plate 4 and has a sliding groove 2 11;

[0065] Traction block 2 16 is slidably disposed within slide groove 2 11;

[0066] The elastic element 17 has one end acting on the inner wall of the slide groove 11 and the other end acting on the traction block 16, and is used to apply a thrust to the traction block 12.

[0067] Furthermore, it also includes,

[0068] Gear 18 is rotatably mounted on worktable 1;

[0069] Rack 19 is mounted on one of the guide plates 4 and meshes with gear 18;

[0070] Rack 20 is mounted on another guide plate 4 and meshes with gear 18.

[0071] In this embodiment, the two guide plates 4 can automatically move closer and further apart with the cooperation of the rotating platform 2. Taking the completion of toilet glazing as an example, after the toilet glazing is completed, the rotating platform 2 rotates, and its end abuts against the traction block 12 on the left guide plate 4. The traction block 12 will slide smoothly in the slide groove 6. Since the rotation of the rotating platform 2 is circular, the slide groove 6 and the slide groove 11 are also designed as arcs of the same curvature. During the sliding process of the traction block 12, it will pull the elastic element 13. The elastic element 13 can be a bent tension spring, so it will apply a leftward pulling force to the guide plate 4 as a whole, that is, the guide plate 4 will move to the left, and the traction block 12 will gradually move away from the end of the rotating platform 2 until it is separated from it. The end of the rotating platform 2 is separated from the two guide plates 4. Due to the transmission of the gear 18 and the rack 19 and rack 20, during the leftward movement of the above-mentioned guide plate 4, the other guide plate 4 It will move to the right. When the rotating table 2 continues to rotate, the other end will contact the second traction block 16 of the right guide plate 4. The principle is the same as that of the left guide plate 4. After the other end of the rotating table 2 contacts the second traction block 16, it will squeeze the second traction block 16 and make it slide along the second slide groove 11. Then it will compress the second elastic element 17. The second elastic element 17 will give the guide plate 4 a leftward push. Since there is always a gap between the guide plate 4 and the rotating table 2, they will not collide. During the process of the second traction block 16 following the guide plate 4 to the left, there is elastic stroke due to the presence of the second elastic element 17, so it will not get stuck. Finally, the rotating table 2 will rotate to the glazing position again. At this time, the second traction block 16 is abutting against the rotating table 2. However, as the rotating table 2 rotates again, it will contact the first traction block 12. The two guide plates 4 will move away again, and the second traction block 16 will also disengage from the rotating table 2 and reset under the action of the second elastic element 17.

[0072] Furthermore, it also includes,

[0073] A protective cover 21 is set around the workbench 1 and has an opening 22, with the rotary table 2 located at the opening 22.

[0074] The lifting door 23 is mounted on the protective cover 21 and is used to open or close the opening 22.

[0075] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the glaze slurry from splashing and polluting the environment during the glazing process, which is difficult to clean, a protective cover 21 is also installed around the workbench 1. The lifting door 23 at the opening 22 can be closed during the glazing process and opened when loading and unloading materials.

[0076] Furthermore, it also includes,

[0077] Scraper 24 is set at an angle on rotary table 2;

[0078] Collection pool 25 is set on workbench 1, located outside opening 22.

[0079] In this embodiment, the scraper 24 rotates together with the rotary table 2, scraping the glaze slurry dripping onto the worktable 1 into the collection tank 25 for collection. This keeps the worktable 1 clean and also recovers the glaze slurry. Since the rotary table 2 always contacts the two guide plates 4 first, the scraper 24 will not interfere with the guide plates 4.

[0080] Furthermore, it also includes,

[0081] The collection vehicle 26 and the collection pool 25 have a drain outlet 27, and the collection vehicle 26 is located below the drain outlet 27.

[0082] In this embodiment, a movable trolley is also placed below the collection pool 25 to facilitate timely recycling of the glaze slurry.

[0083] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
