Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of automobiles, and in particular to a rotating device. Background Art

[0002] The cylinder block and cylinder head of the engine are core components. Before certain specific processes of the engine production line (such as pressing the main bearing cap, air tightness testing, measurement, and assembly, etc.), the surface and inner cavity of the cylinder block and cylinder head need to be cleaned to ensure the process requirements. For the engine cylinder block to be cleaned, due to its complex structure, the cleaning process includes turbulent cleaning, fixed-point positioning cleaning, and scanning cleaning.

[0003] For large cylinders, due to their heavy weight, cleaning robots are usually used to carry the cylinders to a turbulent water tank, and the cylinders are placed by means of a cylinder placing tool installed in the turbulent water tank, thereby positioning the cylinders and fixing them in the water tank. If the cylinders need to be cleaned, spray tools need to be arranged on all surfaces of the water tank corresponding to the cylinders, which increases the cost of the spray tools and the difficulty of arranging the water tank. Even so, since the cylinders are static in the water tank, the surrounding areas and the inner cavity of the cylinders cannot be fully cleaned. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the cylinder body cannot be fully cleaned. The present invention provides a rotating device that can fully clean the cylinder body.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present invention discloses a rotating device, comprising:

[0006] A rotating mechanism, the rotating mechanism comprising two fixing parts arranged at intervals along a first direction and a connecting part arranged between the two fixing parts, the connecting part extending along the first direction;

[0007] A positioning lifting mechanism, the positioning lifting mechanism comprising two lifting parts spaced apart along the first direction and a sliding part disposed between the two lifting parts, the sliding part extending along the first direction and spaced apart from the connecting part along the second direction, at least the sliding part, the connecting part and the two fixing parts define a receiving space, the receiving space is used to place products, and the first direction intersects with the second direction;

[0008] The two fixing parts correspond to the two lifting parts one by one, and the lifting parts are connected to the corresponding fixing parts in a slidable manner along the second direction to increase or decrease the distance between the sliding part and the connecting part, so that the accommodating space can be switched between a clamped state and a loosened state;

[0009] A first driving mechanism, the first driving mechanism is connected to the fixing portion, and the first driving mechanism is used to drive the rotating mechanism and the positioning and lifting mechanism to rotate;

[0010] In the clamped state, the accommodating space is used to accommodate and clamp the product; in the loosened state, the accommodating space is used to accommodate the product.

[0011] For ease of description, the embodiments of the present application are described using the cylinder block of an engine as an example, but are not limited thereto. Other large equipment may also be used. The cleaning process is also described as an example, but it is understandable that any process that requires rotating large equipment may be applicable.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting part is connected to its corresponding fixed part in a slidable manner along the second direction, and at least the sliding part, the connecting part and the two fixed parts define a accommodating space. In this way, when the cylinder body needs to be cleaned, the lifting part moves downward along the second direction (i.e., moves in a direction away from the connecting part), and the sliding part moves accordingly, thereby increasing the distance between the sliding part and the connecting part to enlarge the accommodating space, and the cylinder body is placed in the accommodating space; then, the lifting part moves upward along the second direction (i.e., moves in a direction close to the connecting part), and the sliding part moves accordingly, thereby reducing the distance between the sliding part and the connecting part to reduce the accommodating space, and the cylinder body is clamped in the accommodating space; finally, the first driving mechanism drives the rotating mechanism and the positioning lifting mechanism to rotate, so as to drive the cylinder body in the accommodating space to rotate.

[0013] In this way, during the rotation of the cylinder body, the spraying range of the spray tool can cover the surroundings and inner cavity of the cylinder body, so that the cylinder body is fully and comprehensively cleaned. At the same time, there is no need to set spray tools on all surfaces of the cylinder body, reducing the cost and installation difficulty of the spray tool.

[0014] This embodiment has at least the following advantages:

[0015] 1. By self-rotating and immersing the cylinder in turbulent cleaning, the cleaning cycle can be reduced and the cleaning efficiency can be improved;

[0016] 2. The cylinder body shape and inner cavity structure are complex, and the workpiece self-rotation can simplify the design of the spray tool;

[0017] 3. The space requirement is low, and the space within the range of the rotating device can meet the requirements for placing large cylinders.

[0018] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a rotating device, which also includes an elastic member and a second driving mechanism corresponding to the lifting part one by one, each of the second driving mechanisms includes a first driving member and a first pressing member, the first driving member is used to drive the first pressing member to move along the second direction to apply a force to the lifting part; along the third direction, first connecting members are provided on both sides of the lifting part, the elastic member is provided on both sides of the lifting part and one end of the elastic member is connected to the first connecting member, and along the second direction, the other end of the elastic member is fixedly connected to the fixing part; wherein,

[0019] In the clamped state, the first pressure piece does not apply force to the lifting part, and the elastic piece is in an original state; in the loosened state, the first pressure piece applies force to the lifting part, the elastic piece is in a stretched state, and the third direction intersects with the second direction.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cylinder body needs to be cleaned, the first driving member drives the first pressure member to move downward in the second direction (i.e., move in the direction close to the lifting part) to apply a force to the lifting part, i.e., at this time, the first pressure member contacts the lifting part, thereby applying downward pressure to the lifting part, and the lifting part can move downward in the second direction (i.e., move in the direction away from the connecting part) to enlarge the accommodating space, and the cylinder body is placed in the accommodating space at this time; since the elastic member is provided on both sides of the lifting part, and one end of the elastic member is connected to the first connecting member of the lifting part, therefore, when the lifting part moves downward in the second direction, it can synchronously drive one end of the elastic member to move downward in the second direction (i.e., at this time, one end of the elastic member is in a stretched state).

[0021] When the above-mentioned placement and positioning work is completed, at this time, the first driving member drives the first pressing member to move upward in the second direction (i.e., move in the direction away from the lifting part) so as not to apply force to the lifting part, so that the lifting part loses the downward pressure, that is, one end of the elastic member loses the downward tensile force. At this time, under the elastic force of the elastic member, one end of the elastic member moves upward in the second direction (i.e., moves in the direction close to the other end of the elastic member), thereby driving the lifting part connected thereto to move synchronously, i.e., move in the direction close to the connecting part, so that the accommodating space becomes smaller, until the elastic member returns to its original state, at which time the cylinder body is clamped and fixed in the accommodating space.

[0022] Finally, the first driving mechanism drives the rotating mechanism and the positioning and lifting mechanism to rotate, so as to drive the cylinder body in the accommodation space to rotate. In this way, during the rotation of the cylinder body, the spraying range of the spraying tool can cover the surroundings and the inner cavity of the cylinder body, so as to fully and comprehensively clean the cylinder body. At the same time, there is no need to set up spraying tools on all sides of the cylinder body, which reduces the cost and installation difficulty of the spraying tools. In addition, the entire fixing, clamping and rotating process is fully automatic, without the need for manual participation, saving labor costs.

[0023] That is to say, through the cooperation of the first driving member and the elastic member, the rotating device automatically completes the switching between the clamping state and the loosening state of the accommodating space, thereby realizing the automatic clamping function of the rotating device. After the robot places the cylinder body in the accommodating space, under the action of the elastic member, the rotating device can automatically clamp the cylinder body in the accommodating space. When the rotating device is placed in a water tank, the cylinder body can complete immersion turbulent cleaning. During the rotation of the cylinder body, the spraying range of the spray tool can cover the surrounding area and inner cavity of the cylinder body.

[0024] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a rotating device, wherein the two fixed parts are arranged between the two lifting parts, and along the second direction, a guide groove is provided at one end of each of the fixed parts close to the connecting part, and a first guide member is provided at one end of the lifting part away from the sliding part, and the first guide member is connected to the guide groove in a slidable manner along the second direction, a fixed block is provided at one end of each of the fixed parts away from the connecting part, and the fixed block is provided with a slide groove, and a slider is provided at one end of each of the lifting parts close to the sliding part, and the slider is connected to the slide groove in a slidable manner along the second direction.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, along the second direction, a guide groove is provided at one end of the fixed part close to the connecting part, and a first guide member corresponding thereto is provided at the lifting part, and the first guide member is connected to the guide groove in a slidable manner along the second direction, so that one end of the lifting part (i.e., the end away from the sliding part) can be connected to the fixed part in a slidable direction along the second direction. Similarly, along the second direction, a fixed block is provided at one end of the fixed part away from the connecting part, and the fixed block is provided with a slide groove, and a slider corresponding thereto is provided at the lifting part, and the slider is connected to the slide groove in a slidable manner along the second direction, so that the other end of the lifting part (i.e., the end close to the sliding part) can be connected to the fixed part in a slidable direction along the second direction.

[0026] Specifically, when the cylinder body needs to be cleaned, the first driving member drives the first pressing member to move downward in the second direction (i.e., move in the direction close to the lifting part) to apply a force to the lifting part, i.e., at this time, the first pressing member contacts the lifting part, thereby applying downward pressure to the lifting part. At this time, the first guide member at one end of the lifting part moves downward along the guide groove, and the sliding block at the other end of the lifting part moves downward along the sliding groove, so that the lifting part as a whole can move downward in the second direction (i.e., move in the direction away from the connecting part) to enlarge the accommodating space, and the cylinder body is placed in the accommodating space at this time; since the elastic member is provided on both sides of the lifting part, and one end of the elastic member is connected to the first connecting member of the lifting part, therefore, when the other end of the lifting part moves downward in the second direction, it can synchronously drive one end of the elastic member to move downward in the second direction (i.e., at this time, one end of the elastic member is in a stretched state).

[0027] When the above-mentioned placement and positioning work is completed, at this time, the first driving member drives the first pressing member to move upward in the second direction (i.e., move in the direction away from the lifting part) so as not to apply force to the lifting part, so that the lifting part loses the downward pressure, that is, one end of the elastic member loses the downward tensile force. At this time, under the elastic force of the elastic member, one end of the elastic member moves upward in the second direction (i.e., moves in the direction close to the other end of the elastic member), thereby driving the slider at the other end of the lifting part connected thereto to move upward along the slide groove, and the first guide member at one end of the lifting part moves upward along the guide groove, so that the lifting part as a whole can move synchronously upward in the second direction, that is, move in the direction close to the connecting part, so that the accommodating space becomes smaller, until the elastic member returns to its original state, at which time the cylinder body is clamped and fixed in the accommodating space.

[0028] Finally, the first driving mechanism drives the rotating mechanism and the positioning and lifting mechanism to rotate, so as to drive the cylinder body in the accommodation space to rotate. In this way, during the rotation of the cylinder body, the spraying range of the spraying tool can cover the surroundings and the inner cavity of the cylinder body, so as to fully and comprehensively clean the cylinder body. At the same time, there is no need to set the spraying tool on each surface of the cylinder body, which reduces the cost and installation difficulty of the spraying tool.

[0029] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a rotating device, each of the fixing parts is provided with a first groove extending along the second direction, the sliding part passes through the first groove and is connected to the lifting part, the sliding part is located between the sliding blocks, and the first groove is connected to the fixing blocks on both sides facing the lifting part.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, when the slider moves along the slide groove, that is, when the other end of the lifting part moves along the second direction relative to the fixed part, the sliding part passes through the first groove and is connected to the lifting part, and the sliding part is located between the sliders, and the fixed block is located on both sides of the first groove facing the lifting part. At this time, the sliding part can move synchronously with the lifting part along the first groove.

[0031] Specifically, when the cylinder body needs to be cleaned, the lifting part moves downward along the second direction, thereby driving the sliding part to move synchronously along the second direction (i.e., move in a direction away from the connecting part), at which time the distance between the sliding part and the connecting part becomes larger, that is, the accommodation space becomes larger, and the cylinder body can be easily placed in the accommodation space. After the cylinder body is placed in the accommodation space, the lifting part moves upward along the second direction, thereby driving the sliding part to move synchronously along the second direction (i.e., move in a direction close to the connecting part), at which time the distance between the sliding part and the connecting part becomes smaller, that is, the accommodation space becomes smaller, and the cylinder body can be clamped and fixed in the accommodation space.

[0032] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a rotating device, along the second direction, the end of the lifting part facing the first driving part is provided with a second pressing piece corresponding to the first pressing piece, the second pressing piece is provided with a convex part, and the first pressing piece is provided with a concave part, and the convex part matches the shape of the concave part.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first driving member drives the first pressure member to move downward in the second direction, the first pressure member will contact the second pressure member, that is, contact the lifting part. Since the convex and concave parts with matching shapes are provided, this can produce a positioning and guiding effect on the movement of the second driving mechanism, so that the second driving mechanism can move in the second direction without causing movement deviation.

[0034] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a rotating device, wherein the second driving mechanism also includes a connecting bracket, a connecting plate and a second guide member, the connecting bracket is connected to the fixing member, the connecting plate and a part of the connecting bracket are spaced apart along the second direction, the connecting bracket is connected to the second guide member, the connecting plate is connected to the second guide member in a slidable manner along the second direction, and the first pressure member is provided on a side of the connecting plate facing the lifting portion.

[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting plate is connected to the second guide member in a slidable manner along the second direction, so that when the first driving member moves downward along the second direction, the connecting plate can move downward along the second direction synchronously, thereby driving the first pressing member connected thereto to move downward along the second direction; similarly, when the first driving member moves upward along the second direction, the connecting plate can move upward along the second direction synchronously, thereby driving the first pressing member connected thereto to move upward along the second direction. At the same time, the second guide member is provided to position and guide the motion trajectory of the second driving mechanism, so that it can move along the second direction without causing deviation in the motion trajectory.

[0036] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the embodiment of the present invention discloses a rotating device, each of the lifting parts is provided with a waist-shaped hole extending along the second direction, and the first driving mechanism is connected to the fixing part through the waist-shaped hole.

[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, a waist-shaped hole is set through the lifting part, and the first driving mechanism is connected to the fixed part through the waist-shaped hole. In this way, when the first driving member drives the connecting plate to move downward in the second direction, the first pressure member moves synchronously until a force is applied to the lifting part. That is, at this time, the first pressure member contacts the lifting part and generates downward pressure on it. At this time, the waist-shaped hole moves downward in the second direction relative to the first driving mechanism; similarly, when the first driving member drives the connecting plate to move upward in the second direction, the first pressure member moves synchronously until no force is applied to the lifting part. At this time, under the elastic action of the elastic member, the lifting part moves upward in the second direction. At this time, the waist-shaped hole moves upward in the second direction relative to the first driving mechanism.

[0038] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a rotating device, wherein the sliding portion further comprises a positioning member and a plurality of bearing members extending along a third direction, wherein the positioning member is used to position the product, and the plurality of bearing members are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and along the third direction, one end of each of the bearing members is provided with the positioning member, and the other end is provided with a first clamping member, and a plurality of second clamping members are provided on a side of the connecting portion facing the sliding portion, and the second clamping members are arranged at intervals along the first direction; wherein,

[0039] In the clamping state, the first clamping member and the second clamping member are in contact with the product, and the third direction intersects with the first direction.

[0040] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cylinder body needs to be cleaned, the cylinder body is placed on the carrier, one end of the cylinder body is connected to the positioning piece on the carrier to position the carrier, and the other end of the cylinder body is placed on the first clamping piece to ensure the stability of the cylinder body; when the accommodating space becomes smaller, the cylinder body is clamped in the accommodating space, and at this time the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece are in contact with the surface of the cylinder body, that is, there is no gap between the surface of the cylinder body and the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece, so as to ensure that the cylinder body can be clamped stably in the accommodating space.

[0041] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a rotating device, which also includes fixing parts corresponding to the fixing parts one by one, each of the fixing parts includes a second connecting part and a fixing frame, the fixing frame is provided with a rotating space, the fixing part is arranged in the rotating space, one end of the fixing frame is connected to the second connecting part, and the other end is connected to the second driving mechanism, and the second connecting part is used to connect an external device.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing part is arranged in the rotating space of the fixing frame. When the first driving mechanism drives the fixing part to rotate, the fixing part can rotate in the rotating space. The second connecting member is connected to the external device to connect the rotating device as a whole to the external device, such as a water tank.

[0043] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a rotating device, wherein the fixed frame is provided with a second groove connected to the first groove, and the end of the sliding portion facing the second groove is provided with a stopper, wherein in the clamping state, the stopper is located in the first groove; and in the loosened state, the stopper is located in the second groove.

[0044] By adopting the above technical solution, the first groove is communicated with the second groove, and a stopper is provided at one end of the sliding part facing the second groove. In the clamped state, the stopper is located in the first groove, that is, the stopper is not located in the second groove. At this time, the first driving mechanism can drive the rotating mechanism and the positioning lifting mechanism to rotate. In the released state, the stopper is located in the second groove. At this time, due to the interference of the stopper, the first driving mechanism cannot drive the rotating mechanism and the positioning lifting mechanism to rotate.

[0045] That is to say, if the elastic part fails, the cylinder body cannot be completely clamped in the accommodating space. At this time, if the first driving mechanism is started, the cylinder body may be easily thrown out of the accommodating space during the rotation process. Therefore, the setting of the anti-rotation part can effectively avoid this situation. If the elastic part fails, the cylinder body cannot be completely clamped. At this time, the anti-rotation part is located in the second groove. Under the interference of the anti-rotation part, even if the first driving mechanism is started, the cylinder body will not rotate, thereby avoiding the cylinder body being thrown out of the accommodating space.

[0046] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a rotating device, wherein the first driving mechanism includes a driving part and a first detecting part, wherein the driving part includes an output shaft, the output shaft passes through the lifting part and is connected to the fixed part, the first detecting part is used to detect whether the output shaft is in a rotating state or a non-rotating state, the first detecting part includes a first detecting member and a first sensor, the first detecting member is arranged at one end of the output shaft away from the lifting part, and the first sensor and the output shaft are spaced apart along the second direction.

[0047] With the above technical solution, when the cylinder body is cleaned, the driving part receives the signal and starts to prepare to stop rotating, but it takes a while for the driving part to be converted from a rotating state to a non-rotating state (i.e., a stopped state), and at this time, the first detection part can detect whether the driving part is in a rotating state or a non-rotating state. When the first detection part detects that the driving part is in a non-rotating state, the first sensor transmits the signal to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) of the device, and at this time, the PLC determines that the cleaning work of the cylinder body has been completed, and can send the signal to the first driving part, and the first driving part starts to drive the first pressing part to move upward in the second direction, so that the lifting part moves upward in the second direction, so that the accommodation space becomes larger, and at this time, the robot takes out the cleaned cylinder body from the accommodation space, and then cleans the next cylinder body.

[0048] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a rotating device, wherein the first driving mechanism further comprises a locking portion, wherein the locking portion is arranged between the driving portion and the lifting portion along the first direction, wherein the locking portion comprises a rotating member, a first fixed block, a first clamping block and a second driving member, wherein the output shaft passes through the rotating member, the first fixed block is connected to the rotating member, the first fixed block is provided with a clamping groove, the first clamping block is adapted to the shape of the clamping groove, and the second driving member is used to drive the first clamping block to move along the second direction to clamp with the clamping groove; wherein,

[0049] In the rotating state, the first engaging block is not in contact with the first fixing block; in the non-rotating state, the first engaging block is engaged with the first fixing block.

[0050] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving part is mechanically locked by setting a locking part to prevent it from continuing to rotate after the cylinder body is cleaned or when the robot takes out the cylinder body, thereby affecting the work of the robot and causing damage to the entire device.

[0051] Specifically, since the output shaft of the driving unit passes through the rotating member and the first fixed block is connected to the rotating member, the rotating member and the first fixed block will rotate synchronously during the rotation of the driving unit. At this time, the first clamping block does not contact the first fixed block, ensuring the normal rotation of the driving unit.

[0052] When cleaning is completed, the driving part receives a stop signal and begins to gradually stop rotating. When the first sensor detects that the driving part is in a non-rotating state, the second driving member receives the signal and drives the first clamping block to move upward in the second direction, so that the first clamping block is clamped with the clamping groove, that is, clamped with the first fixed block. Under the interference of the first clamping block, the first fixed block no longer rotates, that is, the output shaft of the driving part no longer rotates, so that the driving part remains in a non-rotating state.

[0053] Then the PLC sends the signal to the first driving member, and the first driving member starts to drive the first pressing member to move upward in the second direction, so that the lifting part moves upward in the second direction, so that the accommodating space becomes larger. At this time, the robot takes out the cleaned cylinder body from the accommodating space and then cleans the next cylinder body. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

For the convenience of description, the embodiment of the present application takes the cylinder body 900 (i.e., large equipment) as the cylinder body 900 of the engine as an example for explanation, and takes the cleaning process as an example for explanation.

[0072] refer to Figures 1 to 3 The rotating device includes: a rotating mechanism 100, a positioning and lifting mechanism 200 and a first driving mechanism 300, and the rotating mechanism 100 includes a first direction (i.e. Figure 1 The positioning and lifting mechanism 200 includes two fixing parts 101 spaced apart from each other (in the X direction shown in the figure) and a connecting part 102 arranged between the two fixing parts 101, wherein the connecting part 102 extends along the first direction; Figure 1 The two lifting parts 201 are spaced apart from each other (in the X direction shown in the figure) and the sliding part 202 is arranged between the two lifting parts 201. The sliding part 202 extends along the first direction and is connected to the connecting part 102 along the second direction (i.e. Figure 1 The two fixing portions 101 and the connecting portion 102 are arranged at intervals (in the Y direction shown in the figure), and at least the sliding portion 202, the connecting portion 102 and the two fixing portions 101 define a receiving space 400, and the receiving space 400 is used to place the cylinder body 900.

[0073] For example, along the third direction (i.e. Figure 1 In the Z direction shown in the figure), both ends of the accommodating space 400 have openings, so that the cylinder body 900 can be placed into the accommodating space 400 from any end opening.

[0074] Exemplarily, the two fixing parts 101 correspond to the two lifting parts 201 one by one, and the lifting parts 201 are connected to the corresponding fixing parts 101 in a slidable manner along the second direction, so that the accommodating space 400 is in a clamped state (i.e. Figure 3 shown) and the released state (i.e. Figure 4 the sliding portion 202 includes a positioning member 2020, the positioning member 2020 is used to position the cylinder 900; the first drive mechanism 300 is connected to the fixed portion 101, and the first drive mechanism 300 is used to drive the rotating mechanism 100 and the positioning lifting mechanism 200 to rotate.

[0075] In the clamped state, the accommodating space 400 is used to accommodate and clamp the cylinder body 900 ; in the loosened state, the accommodating space 400 is used to accommodate the cylinder body 900 .

[0076] By adopting the above technical solution, the two lifting parts 201 are connected to the corresponding sliding parts 202 respectively, and each lifting part 201 is connected to the corresponding fixing part 101 in a slidable manner along the second direction, and at least the sliding part 202, the connecting part 102 and the two fixing parts 101 define a receiving space 400. In this way, when the cylinder body 900 needs to be cleaned, the two lifting parts 201 move downward along the second direction (that is, move in a direction away from the connecting part 102, that is, Figure 3 b direction as shown in the figure), driving the sliding part 202 to move downward along the second direction to enlarge the accommodation space 400. At this time, the cylinder body 900 is placed in the accommodation space 400, and the cylinder body 900 is fixed in the accommodation space 400 by the positioning member 2020, that is, Figure 4 Then, the two lifting portions 201 move upward in the second direction (ie, move in the direction close to the connecting portion 102, that is, Figure 3 The sliding part 202 moves upward along the second direction to reduce the accommodating space 400. At this time, the cylinder body 900 is clamped in the accommodating space 400. Figure 3 Finally, the first driving mechanism 300 drives the rotating mechanism 100 and the positioning lifting mechanism 200 to rotate, so as to drive the cylinder 900 in the accommodating space 400 to rotate.

[0077] In this way, during the rotation of the cylinder body 900, the spraying range of the spray tool can cover the surroundings and inner cavity of the cylinder body 900, thereby fully and comprehensively cleaning the cylinder body 900. At the same time, there is no need to set spray tools on all surfaces of the cylinder body 900, reducing the cost and installation difficulty of the spray tools.

[0078] Exemplarily, the two fixing parts 101 are arranged between the two lifting parts 201. For the convenience of description, refer to Figure 2 The first fixing part 1010 and the first lifting part 2010 are named on the left side, and the second fixing part 1011 and the second lifting part 2011 are named on the right side. The first fixing part 1010 and the first lifting part 2010 are arranged opposite to each other, that is, along the first direction (i.e. Figure 1 The second fixing portion 1011 and the second lifting portion 2011 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, that is, they are arranged at intervals along the first direction.

[0079] Among them, the first fixing part 1010 and the second fixing part 1011 have the same structure, and the first lifting part 2010 and the second lifting part 2011 have the same structure. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application takes the first fixing part 1010 and the first lifting part 2010 as an example to expand the description, and the second fixing part 1011 and the second lifting part 2011 will not be repeated.

[0080] in, Figure 2An exploded view of the rotating device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, Figure 6 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the rotating mechanism 100, Figure 6 The left side of the figure is the second fixing portion 1011, and the right side is the first fixing portion 1010. Figure 7 FIG. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of a positioning and lifting mechanism 200. Figure 6 The left side of the figure is the first lifting part 2010, and the right side is the second lifting part 2011.

[0081] For example, reference Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , along the second direction (i.e. Figure 6 In the Y direction shown in the figure), one end of the first fixing portion 1010 close to the connecting portion 102 is threadedly connected to two guide blocks 1012, and the two guide blocks 1012 are connected along the third direction (i.e. Figure 6 The first lifting part 2010 is provided with a first guide member 2012 at one end away from the sliding part 202. The first guide member 2012 is a first guide rod 2013. The first guide rod 2013 passes through the first lifting part 2010. The first guide rod 2013 is arranged along the second direction (i.e. Figure 7 The Y direction shown in the figure can be slid in the same way as Figure 6 The guide groove 1013 is connected.

[0082] Exemplarily, the first fixing portion 1010 is provided with a first groove 1014 extending along the second direction at one end away from the connecting portion 102, and the first groove 1014 is threadedly connected with fixing blocks 1015 on both sides facing the first lifting portion 2010, and the two fixing blocks 1015 are connected along the third direction (i.e. Figure 6 The fixing blocks 1015 are arranged at intervals along the first direction (Z direction shown) and are located on the side of the first fixing portion 1010 facing the first lifting portion 2010. Each fixing block 1015 includes a fixing block body 1016 and an extension bar 1017. The extension bar 1017 is protruded from the fixing block body 1016 along the first direction and close to the first lifting portion 2010. The extension bar 1017 is protruded from the fixing block body 1016 along the second direction (i.e. Figure 6 The slidable member 1010 extends in the Y direction (as shown) to form a slide groove 1018 extending along the second direction with the fixing block body 1016.

[0083] For example, one end of the first lifting portion 2010 close to the sliding portion 202 is threadedly connected to two sliders 2014, and the two sliders 2014 are both along the second direction (i.e. Figure 7 The Y direction shown in the figure) extends along the third direction (i.e. Figure 7The two sliders 2014 correspond to the two fixing blocks 1015 one by one, and the two sliders 2014 are connected to the slide groove 1018 in a slidable manner along the second direction. One end of the sliding part 202 passes through the first groove 1014 and is connected to the first lifting part 2010, and the other end is connected to the second lifting part 2011 in the same manner. The sliding part 202 is located between the two sliders 2014.

[0084] When the two sliders 2014 move along the slide groove 1018, that is, when the other end of the first lifting part 2010 moves along the second direction relative to the first fixed part 1010, the sliding part 202 passes through the first groove 1014 and is connected to the first lifting part 2010, and the sliding part 202 is located between the two sliders 2014, and the two fixed blocks 1015 are located on both sides of the first groove 1014 facing the first lifting part 2010. At this time, the sliding part 202 can move synchronously with the first lifting part 2010 along the first groove 1014.

[0085] Specifically, combined Figures 1 to 3 When the cylinder 900 needs to be cleaned, the first lifting part 2010 moves downward along the second direction (i.e. Figure 3 b direction as shown), thereby driving the sliding part 202 to move synchronously along the second direction (i.e., move in the direction away from the connecting part 102). At this time, the distance between the sliding part 202 and the connecting part 102 becomes larger, that is, the accommodating space 400 becomes larger. At this time, the cylinder body 900 can be easily placed in the accommodating space 400, and the accommodating space 400 is in a loose state, that is, Figure 4 Status shown.

[0086] When the cylinder 900 is placed in the accommodation space 400, the first lifting part 2010 moves upward along the second direction (i.e. Figure 4 The cylinder 900 moves in the direction a shown in the figure, thereby driving the sliding part 202 to move synchronously in the second direction (i.e., move in the direction close to the connecting part 102). At this time, the distance between the sliding part 202 and the connecting part 102 becomes smaller, that is, the accommodating space 400 becomes smaller. At this time, the cylinder body 900 can be clamped and fixed in the accommodating space 400, and the accommodating space 400 is in a clamped state, i.e. Figure 3 Status shown.

[0087] For example, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7 The rotating device also includes four Figure 1 The elastic members 500 extend in the third direction (ie, the Y direction shown in FIG. 2 ), wherein two elastic members 500 are arranged on both sides of the first lifting portion 2010, and the other two elastic members 500 are arranged on both sides of the second lifting portion 2011. Figure 1The first lifting part 2010 is threadedly connected to the first connecting member 2015 on both sides. The first connecting member 2015 is a T-block, including a first part 2016 and a second part 2017. The first part 2016 is connected to the first lifting part 2010 along the second direction (i.e. Figure 7 The second portion 2017 extends in the third direction (ie, the Y direction shown in FIG. 1 ) and is connected to one end of the first lifting portion 2010 close to the sliding portion 202. Figure 7 The first portion 2016 extends in the Z direction as shown and is connected to the first portion 2016 to form a T-shape with the first portion 2016.

[0088] For example, in combination Figure 5 , a first mounting rod 501 is provided at one end of the elastic member 500, and the first mounting rod 501 passes through the second portion 2017 and is threadedly connected thereto, so that one end of the elastic member 500 is connected to the first lifting portion 2010. A second mounting rod 502 is provided at the other end of the elastic member 500. Figure 6 In the Z direction shown in FIG. 1 ), connecting blocks 1019 are respectively provided on both sides of the two guide blocks 1012 of the first fixing part 1010, and the two connecting blocks 1019 are protruded from the first fixing part 1010 along the first direction. The other ends of the elastic members 500 located on both sides of the first lifting part 2010 pass through the two connecting blocks 1019 through the second mounting rods 502, and are threadedly connected thereto, so that the other ends of the elastic members 500 are fixedly connected to the first fixing part 1010.

[0089] Exemplarily, the elastic member 500 is a spring, and may also be other structures with elastic force, or may be rubber, etc.

[0090] For example, reference Figure 7 The sliding portion 202 also includes three Figure 7 The three bearing members 2021 extend in the first direction (ie, the Z direction shown in FIG. 1 ), but are not limited thereto, and may also be two, four, five, etc. Figure 7 The cylinder body 900 is provided with a first clamping member 2022 at one end thereof, and the first clamping member 2022 is a rubber bump. After the cylinder body 900 is placed in the accommodating space 400, after the locating hole at one end of the cylinder body 900 is connected with the locating member 2020, the other end of the cylinder body 900 is placed on the first clamping member 2022, so as to ensure that one end of the cylinder body 900 and the other end of the cylinder body 900 are kept on the same plane, so as to ensure the stability of the placement.

[0091] For example, reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The connecting portion 102 includes a Figure 6 The first clamping member 2022 and the second clamping member 1020 are arranged at intervals along the first direction; in the clamping state, the first clamping member 2022 and the second clamping member 1020 are in contact with the cylinder body 900. Figure 3 When the accommodating space 400 becomes smaller (i.e., it is in a clamping state), the cylinder body 900 is clamped in the accommodating space 400. At this time, the first clamping member 2022 and the second clamping member 1020 fit the surface of the cylinder body 900, that is, there is no gap between the surface of the cylinder body 900 and the first clamping member 2022 and the second clamping member 1020, so as to ensure that the cylinder body 900 can be stably clamped in the accommodating space 400.

[0092] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of connecting parts 102 and second clamping members 1020, and there may be one connecting part 102 or three connecting parts 102, etc. The number of second clamping members 1020 on each connecting part 102 may also be two, four, five, etc.

[0093] For example, reference Figure 2 and Fig. 9 The rotating device also includes a fixing member 600 corresponding to the fixing portion 101 one by one, that is, the rotating device also includes two fixing members 600. For the convenience of description, the one located on the left is called the first fixing member 601, and the first fixing member 601 corresponds to the first fixing portion 1010. The one located on the right is called the second fixing member 602, and the second fixing member 602 corresponds to the second fixing portion 1011. The first fixing member 601 and the second fixing member 602 have the same structure. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application takes the first fixing member 601 as an example for explanation.

[0094] Exemplarily, the first fixing member 601 includes a second connecting member 6010 and a fixing frame 6011, the fixing frame 6011 is provided with a circular rotating space 6012, the first fixing part 1010 is arranged in the rotating space 6012, one end of the fixing frame 6011 is threadedly connected to the second connecting member 6010, and the second connecting member 6010 is used to connect to an external device, for example, it is threadedly connected to a water tank through four circular holes on the second connecting member 6010, and the second connecting member 6010 is a second connecting plate.

[0095] For example, reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9The fixed frame 6011 is provided with a second groove 6013 connected with the first groove 1014, the second groove 6013 and the first groove 1014 both extend along the second direction and are connected with each other, and a stopper 6014 is provided at one end of the sliding part 202 facing the second groove 6013, wherein in the clamped state, the stopper 6014 is located in the first groove 1014; in the loosened state, the stopper 6014 is located in the second groove 6013.

[0096] Exemplarily, in the clamped state, the stop member 6014 is located in the first groove 1014, that is, the stop member 6014 is not located in the second groove 6013. At this time, the first driving mechanism 300 can drive the rotating mechanism 100 and the positioning and lifting mechanism 200 to rotate. In the loosened state, the stop member 6014 is located in the second groove 6013. At this time, due to the interference of the stop member 6014, the first driving mechanism 300 cannot drive the rotating mechanism 100 and the positioning and lifting mechanism 200 to rotate.

[0097] That is to say, if the elastic member 500 fails, the cylinder body 900 cannot be completely clamped in the accommodating space 400. At this time, if the first driving mechanism 300 is started, the cylinder body 900 is easily thrown out of the accommodating space 400 during the rotation process. Therefore, the setting of the anti-rotation member 6014 can effectively avoid this situation. If the elastic member 500 fails, the cylinder body 900 cannot be completely clamped. At this time, the anti-rotation member 6014 is located in the second groove 6013. Under the interference of the anti-rotation member 6014, even if the first driving mechanism 300 is started, the cylinder body 900 will not rotate, thereby avoiding the cylinder body 900 from being thrown out of the accommodating space 400.

[0098] Exemplarily, the anti-rotation member 6014 is a first bolt, but is not limited thereto, and may also be a first anti-rotation rod.

[0099] For example, reference Figure 2 and Figure 8 The rotating device further includes a second driving mechanism 700 corresponding to the lifting part 201, that is, the second driving mechanism 700 includes two. For the convenience of description, the one on the left is called the first sub-driving mechanism 701, and the first sub-driving mechanism 701 corresponds to the first lifting part 2010, and the one on the right is called the second sub-driving mechanism 702, and the second sub-driving mechanism 702 corresponds to the second lifting part 2011. The first sub-driving mechanism 701 and the second sub-driving mechanism 702 have the same mechanism, so the embodiment of the present application takes the first sub-driving mechanism 701 as an example for description.

[0100] For example, reference Figures 5 to 8 The first sub-driving mechanism 701 includes a first driving member 7010 and a first pressing member 7011. Figure 5In the Y direction shown in the figure), a second pressing piece 2018 is provided at one end of the first lifting part 2010 away from the sliding part 202, that is, a second pressing piece 2018 is provided at one end of the first lifting part 2010 facing the first sub-driving mechanism 701, and the second pressing piece 2018 corresponds to the first pressing piece 7011. The second pressing piece 2018 is provided with a convex portion 2019, for example, a V-shaped convex portion 2019, but not limited to this, it can also be a circular shape or other shapes. The first pressing piece 7011 is provided with a concave portion 7012, for example, a V-shaped concave portion 7012, but not limited to this, it can also be a circular shape or other shapes, and the convex portion 2019 matches the shape of the concave portion 7012.

[0101] Exemplarily, the first driving member 7010 is used to drive the first pressing member 7011 to move along the second direction to apply a force to the second pressing member 2018 or not apply a force to the second pressing member 2018. When the first driving member 7010 drives the first pressing member 7011 to move downward along the second direction until a force is applied to the first lifting portion 2010, the first pressing member 7011 will contact the second pressing member 2018, that is, contact the first lifting portion 2010, thereby applying a downward force to the first lifting portion 2010. Since the V-shaped protrusion 2019 and the V-shaped recess 7012 of matching shapes are provided, this can produce a positioning and guiding effect on the movement of the first sub-driving mechanism 701, so that the first driving member 7010 can move along the second direction without causing movement deviation.

[0102] In the clamping state, the first pressing member 7011 does not apply force to the first lifting portion 2010. At this time, the first pressing member 7011 and the second pressing member 2018 are spaced apart along the second direction (ie Figure 3 In the state shown), the elastic member 500 is in the original state; in the released state, the first pressing member 7011 applies a force to the first lifting portion 2010, and the first pressing member 7011 contacts the second pressing member 2018 (ie Figure 4 ), the elastic member 500 is in a stretched state.

[0103] For example, reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8The first sub-driving mechanism 701 further includes a mounting bracket 7013, a connecting bracket 7014, a connecting plate 7015 and a second guide member 7016. The mounting bracket 7013 is in an inverted U shape, but is not limited thereto. Other shapes are also possible, such as a trapezoid. The connecting bracket 7014 is connected to the first fixing member 601. The connecting bracket 7014 is L-shaped and includes a third portion 7017 and a fourth portion 7018. The third portion 7017 extends along the first direction, and the fourth portion 7018 extends along the second direction and is connected to the third portion 7017 to form an L shape. The third portion 7017 is connected to the mounting bracket 7013 and is spaced apart from the connecting plate 7015 along the second direction. The fourth portion 7018 is connected to an end of the fixing frame 6011 away from the second connecting member 6010.

[0104] Exemplarily, the first driving member 7010 is a cylinder, but not limited thereto, and any member capable of driving the connecting plate 7015 to move linearly in the second direction may be used, such as a motor, an electric push rod, etc. The first driving member 7010 is disposed on the mounting bracket 7013, and the output end of the first driving member 7010 passes through the mounting bracket 7013 and the third portion 7017, and is connected to the connecting plate 7015 through a floating joint to drive the connecting plate 7015 to move in the second direction.

[0105] Exemplarily, the second guide member 7016 is a second guide rod, the third part 7017 is connected to one end of the second guide rod, the connecting plate 7015 is connected to the other end of the second guide rod in a slidable manner along the second direction, and a first pressure member 7011 is provided on a side of the connecting plate 7015 facing the first lifting part 2010.

[0106] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 , when the cylinder moves downward in the second direction (i.e. Figure 3 b direction shown in the figure), the connecting plate 7015 can synchronously move downward along the second direction, thereby driving the first pressing member 7011 connected thereto to move downward along the second direction; similarly, when the cylinder moves upward along the second direction (i.e. Figure 4 The connecting plate 7015 can move upward in the second direction synchronously, thereby driving the first pressing piece 7011 connected thereto to move upward in the second direction. At the same time, a second guide rod is provided to position and guide the motion trajectory of the cylinder, so that the cylinder can move in the second direction without causing deviation in the motion trajectory. The floating joint can compensate for the error generated during the machining of the cylinder.

[0107] For example, reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 Combined with Figure 1Along the second direction, a first mounting hole 1100 is provided in the middle position of the first fixing part 1010, and a second mounting hole 1101 is provided in the corresponding position of the second fixing part 1011, a first waist-shaped hole 2100 extending along the second direction is provided in the middle position of the first lifting part 2010, and a second waist-shaped hole 2101 extending along the second direction is provided in the middle position of the second lifting part 2011, the output shaft 3010 of the first driving mechanism 300 passes through the first waist-shaped hole 2100 to be connected with the first fixing part 1010, and the driven shaft 800 passes through the second waist-shaped hole 2101 to be connected with the second fixing part 1011.

[0108] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 The end of the output shaft 3010 is connected to a first circular mounting block 3011 , which is threadedly connected to the first fixing portion 1010 ; the end of the driven shaft 800 is connected to a second circular mounting block 801 , which is threadedly connected to the second fixing portion 1011 .

[0109] refer to Figures 5 to 8 When the cylinder drives the connecting plate 7015 to move downward in the second direction, the first pressure piece 7011 moves synchronously until it contacts the second pressure piece 2018, generating downward pressure thereon. At this time, the first waist-shaped hole 2100 moves downward in the second direction relative to the first driving mechanism 300, and the second waist-shaped hole 2101 moves synchronously relative to the driven shaft 800. Similarly, when the cylinder drives the connecting plate 7015 to move upward in the second direction, the first pressure piece 7011 does not apply force to the second pressure piece 2018. At this time, under the elastic action of the elastic piece 500, the first lifting part 2010 moves upward in the second direction, the first waist-shaped hole 2100 moves upward in the second direction synchronously relative to the first driving mechanism 300, and the second waist-shaped hole 2101 moves synchronously relative to the driven shaft 800, until the first pressure piece 7011 does not contact the second pressure piece 2018.

[0110] For example, reference Figures 1 to 4 The first driving mechanism 300 includes a driving part 301, a first detecting part 302, a locking part 303 and a second detecting part 304, wherein the driving part 301 includes an output shaft 3010, and the output shaft 3010 passes through the locking part 303, the first lifting part 2010 and is connected to the first fixing part 1010. The first detecting part 302 is used to detect whether the output shaft 3010 is in a rotating state or a non-rotating state, and the second detecting part 304 is used to detect whether the output shaft 3010 is in a deceleration state or a full speed state.

[0111] Exemplarily, the end of the output shaft 3010 away from the locking portion 303 is connected to the first circular block 3012 and the second circular block 3013, the first circular block 3012 is closer to the driving portion 301 than the second circular block 3013, the first detection portion 302 includes a first detection member 3020 and a first sensor 3021, the first detection member 3020 is arranged at the end of the output shaft 3010 away from the first lifting portion 2010, specifically on the first circular block 3012, and the first sensor 3021 is spaced apart from the output shaft 3010 along the second direction.

[0112] Exemplarily, the second detection unit 304 includes a second detection member (not shown) and a second sensor 3041. The second detection member is arranged at one end of the output shaft 3010 away from the first lifting unit 2010, and is specifically arranged on the second circular block 3013. There is an angle difference between the first detection member 3020 and the second detection member. The specific angle is selected according to actual needs. The angle difference is the angle that the driving unit 301 needs to rotate from the deceleration state to the non-rotation state. The first sensor 3021 is spaced apart from the output shaft 3010 along the second direction. In the full speed state, the second detection member rotates along with the output shaft 3010, and the time interval at which the second sensor 3041 detects the second detection member is fixed. In the deceleration state, the time interval at which the second sensor 3041 detects the second detection member changes.

[0113] Along the first direction, the locking part 303 is arranged between the driving part 301 and the lifting part 201, and the locking part 303 includes a rotating member 3030, a first fixed block 3031, a first clamping block 3032 and a second driving member 3033. The output shaft 3010 passes through the rotating member 3030, and the first fixed block 3031 is connected to the rotating member 3030. The first fixed block 3031 is provided with a clamping groove, and the first clamping block 3032 is adapted to the shape of the clamping groove. The second driving member 3033 is used to drive the first clamping block 3032 to move along the second direction to clamp with the clamping groove; wherein, in the rotating state, the first clamping block 3032 is not in contact with the first fixed block 3031; in the non-rotating state, the first clamping block 3032 is clamped with the first fixed block 3031.

[0114] The locking part 303 is provided to mechanically lock the driving part 301 to prevent it from continuing to rotate after the cylinder 900 is cleaned or when the robot takes out the cylinder 900, thereby affecting the operation of the robot and causing damage to the entire device.

[0115] Specifically, since the output shaft 3010 of the driving unit 301 passes through the rotating member 3030 and the first fixed block 3031 is connected to the rotating member 3030, during the rotation of the driving unit 301, the rotating member 3030 and the first fixed block 3031 will rotate synchronously. At this time, the first clamping block 3032 does not contact the first fixed block 3031, thereby ensuring the normal rotation of the driving unit 301.

[0116] When the cylinder body 900 is cleaned, the drive unit 301 receives the signal and starts to prepare to stop rotating, but it takes some time for the drive unit 301 to convert from a rotating state to a non-rotating state (i.e., a stopped state). At this time, the second detection unit 304 can detect whether the drive unit 301 is in a full-speed state or a deceleration state. After determining that the drive unit 301 is in a deceleration state, wait until the first sensor 3021 detects the signal of the first detection member 3020 and then determine that the drive unit 301 is in a non-rotating state.

[0117] The first sensor 3021 transmits the signal to the PLC system of the device, and the PLC determines that the cleaning work of the cylinder 900 has ended. At this time, the second driving member 3033 receives the signal and drives the first clamping block 3032 to move upward along the second direction (i.e. Figure 3 In the direction a shown in the figure, the first engaging block 3032 is engaged with the engaging groove, that is, engaged with the first fixing block 3031. Under the interference of the first engaging block 3032, the first fixing block 3031 no longer rotates, that is, the output shaft 3010 of the driving part 301 no longer rotates, so that the driving part 301 remains in a non-rotating state.

[0118] At this time, the first driving member 7010 receives the signal and starts to drive the first pressing member 7011 to move downward along the second direction (i.e. Figure 3 b direction as shown), so that the lifting part 201 moves downward along the second direction, so that the accommodating space 400 becomes larger. At this time, the robot takes out the cleaned cylinder body 900 from the accommodating space 400, and then cleans the next cylinder body 900.

[0119] In summary, the rotating device is installed in the water tank, specifically, the cylinder is installed on the side wall of the water tank, the second connecting piece 6010 is installed to the bottom wall of the water tank, the first flange 3014 is fully welded and fixed to the outer wall of the water tank, and after adjusting the concentricity of the output shaft 3010 and the driven shaft 800 of the entire device, the second flange 802 is fully welded to the other outer wall of the water tank.

[0120] When the cylinder body 900 needs to be cleaned, the robot moves the cylinder body 900 into the water tank. At this time, the cylinder receives the signal and starts to start. The cylinder drives the first pressing member 7011 to move downward in the second direction (i.e., the direction close to the lifting part 201, i.e., Figure 3b direction as shown in the figure) so that the first pressing member 7011 contacts the first lifting portion 2010, thereby applying downward pressure to the first lifting portion 2010.

[0121] At this time, the first guide member 2012 at one end of the first lifting part 2010 moves downward along the guide groove 1013, the slider 2014 at the other end of the first lifting part 2010 moves downward along the slide groove 1018, the first waist-shaped hole 2100 moves synchronously relative to the output shaft 3010, and the second waist-shaped hole 2101 moves synchronously relative to the driven shaft 800, so that the first lifting part 2010 as a whole can move downward along the second direction (i.e., move in the direction away from the connecting part 102). Similarly, the second lifting part 2011 will also move synchronously, which will not be described in detail here, thereby driving the sliding part 202 to move synchronously in the direction away from the connecting part 102 to increase the distance between the two, that is, to make the accommodating space 400 larger. At this time, the cylinder body 900 is placed in the accommodating space 400 (refer to Figure 4 ).

[0122] And the cylinder body 900 is fixed in the accommodating space 400 by using the positioning member 2020; since the elastic member 500 is arranged on both sides of the first lifting part 2010, and one end of the elastic member 500 is connected to the first connecting member 2015 of the first lifting part 2010, when the other end of the first lifting part 2010 moves downward along the second direction, it can synchronously drive one end of the elastic member 500 to move downward along the second direction (that is, one end of the elastic member 500 is in a stretched state at this time).

[0123] When the above placement and positioning work is completed, the robot leaves the water tank, and the cylinder stops starting after receiving the signal. At this time, the cylinder drives the first pressing member 7011 to move upward in the second direction (i.e., moving away from the lifting part 201, that is, Figure 4 In the direction a shown in the figure), the first pressing member 7011 does not apply a force to the second pressing member 2018, so that the first lifting part 2010 loses the downward pressure, that is, one end of the elastic member 500 loses the downward tensile force.

[0124] At this time, under the elastic force of the elastic member 500, one end of the elastic member 500 moves upward along the second direction (that is, moves in the direction close to the other end of the elastic member 500), thereby driving the slider 2014 at the other end of the first lifting part 2010 connected thereto to move upward along the slide groove 1018, and the first guide member 2012 at one end of the first lifting part 2010 moves upward along the guide groove 1013, the first waist-shaped hole 2100 moves synchronously relative to the output shaft 3010, and the second waist-shaped hole 2101 moves synchronously relative to the driven shaft 800, so that the lifting part 201 as a whole can move synchronously upward along the second direction, that is, move in the direction close to the connecting part 102.

[0125] Similarly, the second lifting part 2011 will also move synchronously, which will not be described in detail here, thereby driving the sliding part 202 to move synchronously in the direction close to the connecting part 102, so that the accommodating space 400 becomes smaller, until the elastic member 500 returns to its original state. At this time, the cylinder body 900 is clamped and fixed in the accommodating space 400, the first clamping member 2022 and the second clamping member 1020 are in contact with the cylinder body 900, the stopper 6014 is not located in the second groove 6013, and the first pressing member 7011 does not contact the first lifting part 2010, that is, it is separated from the first lifting part 2010, that is, at this time, the first lifting part 2010 and the first pressing member 7011 are in a state of being spaced apart along the second direction, that is, Figure 4 Status shown.

[0126] At this time, the driving unit 301 receives the signal and starts to start, and the driving unit 301 drives the rotating mechanism 100 and the positioning and lifting mechanism 200 to rotate, so as to drive the cylinder body 900 in the accommodating space 400 to rotate. In this way, during the rotation of the cylinder body 900, the spray range of the spray tool can cover the surroundings and the inner cavity of the cylinder body 900, so as to fully and comprehensively clean the cylinder body 900. At the same time, there is no need to set the spray tool on each surface of the cylinder body 900, which reduces the cost and installation difficulty of the spray tool.
