Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of automatic control technology, and in particular relates to a ship spraying robot outer plate spraying leveling control system and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Ship painting plays a vital role in ship construction and maintenance. Traditional ship spraying operations use manual handheld spray guns for spraying. This method not only has problems such as low automation, high engineering operation costs, high safety risks of high-level operations, and serious environmental pollution, but also the spraying quality is directly affected by the workers' operating experience. In rainy and humid environments, workers cannot maintain the original operating efficiency when using this spraying method, which seriously hinders the development of ship intelligence.

[0003] With the innovation and development of ship coating design technology and the needs of application scenarios, a variety of spraying methods have emerged in the market, such as high-flow low-pressure atomization spraying, automatic spraying, multi-group spraying, etc. These technologies cannot maintain horizontal continuous spraying operations during the spraying process, resulting in poor consistency in the thickness of the overlapping paint film, and cannot operate in bad weather and high wind conditions. In view of the current status of the above-mentioned spraying control, new technologies, new processes, and new equipment are urgently needed to replace the existing spraying operation methods.

[0004] The present invention adopts an automatic leveling control system for spraying ship outer plates, and uses the CAN bus to transmit the system acquisition signals to the control center in real time. The device is leveled through the cooperation between the multi-angle bracket adjustment mechanism, the slide moving mechanism and the end mechanical arm, ensuring that the paint nozzle is within a certain range from the ship outer plate in the vertical and horizontal directions, thereby achieving the purpose of consistent paint thickness of the outer plate, improving spraying efficiency and reducing labor input.

The existing patents mentioned about the leveling device, such as CN218323996U, provide a positioning and leveling device for an assembled wall, including a wall positioning column, the wall positioning column includes a left positioning column and a right positioning column, the left positioning column is located on the side of the right positioning column, the lower surface of the wall positioning column is fixedly installed with a support base, the outer surface of one side of the support base is fixedly installed with a first connecting telescopic column, the outer surface of one side of the wall positioning column is provided with a limited groove, the inner surface of the limited groove is movably installed with a limited block, the outer surface of one side of the limited block is fixedly installed with a limited connecting plate, and the outer surface of the other side of the limited connecting plate is fixedly installed with an electric telescopic column. The device solves the problem of the installation position of the wall and the leveling of the ground, but the equipment has a small horizontal adjustment range and a single system function, so it is poorly applicable to ship outer plate spraying operation.

[0062] Example

[0063] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an overall structure and structure diagram of a ship outer plate spraying and leveling control device, wherein the device mechanism mainly includes: a spray arm vehicle mechanism 8, a spray bracket rotation mechanism 5, a bracket horizontal adjustment mechanism, a bracket slide moving mechanism, a spray robot arm, a spray gun and a paint mist protection mechanism. The system uses the control loop between each mechanism to realize the corresponding action.

[0064] like Figure 3-7 As shown, the spray arm vehicle mechanism 8 is integrally connected to the straight arm elevated vehicle 10 and placed on the ground, the spray support rotating mechanism 5 is connected to the support horizontal adjustment mechanism through the rotating bearing 5f and suspended in the air, the support slide moving mechanism is connected to the support horizontal adjustment mechanism and embedded in the outside of the support, and the spray robot arm is connected to the spray gun and the paint mist protection mechanism through a slider and connected to the support slide moving mechanism.

The left connecting straight rod 5a and the right connecting straight rod 5d fix the rotating mechanism horizontally at the center of the bracket, the front rotating mechanism connecting piece is connected to the rotating bearing 5f and embedded in the bracket groove, the gyroscope storage cover 5b is horizontally placed at the top center of the rotating mechanism, and the storage cover has a built-in gyroscope embedded in the cover.

[0066] The bracket horizontal adjustment mechanism includes: a first movable bracket 6 and a second movable bracket 7. The bracket slide moving mechanism is located on the first movable bracket. Four panoramic cameras are placed at the four corners of the top of the first movable bracket. Two driving stepper motors are installed at the bottom of the bracket, respectively located at the bottom of the left side and the top of the right side. Two horizontal brackets are connected to the outside of the bracket and connected to the bottom through two vertical moving sliders 6g. The side of the horizontal bracket is equipped with a driving stepper motor, and the top is equipped with a horizontal moving slider 6d. The side of the second movable bracket is equipped with four groups of bracket driving parts, which are placed on the sides of the two brackets through front and rear end connecting parts. The bracket driving part is equipped with an external driving servo motor and a built-in screw. The driving slider is installed on the screw and is directly connected to the first.

[0067] The spraying robot arm is located on the support slide moving mechanism and is connected to the support slide moving mechanism via a horizontal moving slider 6d, wherein the spraying robot arm is integrated with the spray gun and the paint mist protection mechanism.

[0068] The paint mist protection mechanism is located at the bottom of the spray gun, and the mechanism includes: a paint mist protection mechanism base 2d and a paint mist protection mechanism top plate 2i, wherein a quartz material protection cover 2c is installed on the right side of the base, a servo motor is installed at the bottom of the protection cover, and is connected to the base respectively, a driving motor is installed at the left end of the top of the base, a cleaning nozzle 2g is installed at the middle end of the top, and a bearing gasket 2f is installed at the right end, which is connected to the paint mist protection mechanism base through a rotatable brush 2b at the bottom.

[0069] like Figure 8 As shown: a system structure schematic diagram of a ship outer plate spraying and leveling control device, the system includes: a signal acquisition unit, a signal processing unit, a control center and an actuator. The information processed by the signal processing unit is transmitted to the control center via the CAN bus. The system then performs device drive calculations based on the data and sends instructions to each actuator to complete the spraying operation.

[0070] Among them, the acquisition unit includes: a first laser ranging sensor 2a, a second laser ranging sensor, a first ranging panoramic camera 6k, a second ranging panoramic camera 6a, a third ranging panoramic camera 6e, a fourth ranging panoramic camera 6i and a gyroscope. The system uses the first laser ranging sensor and the second laser ranging sensor to complete the measurement of the horizontal distance between the spray gun and the outer plate 9 of the ship, and uses the first ranging panoramic camera 6k, the second ranging panoramic camera 6a, the third ranging panoramic camera 6e and the fourth ranging panoramic camera to assist in the leveling measurement of the device bracket, and uses the gyroscope to complete the horizontal measurement of the device bracket and the ground.

[0071] like Fig. 9 As shown, a schematic diagram of the operation of a ship outer plate spraying leveling control device, wherein the system calculation process includes: assuming that point O is the origin of the device arm car, c1 is the horizontal distance between the device arm car and the ship outer plate, θL is the angle between the arm car's big arm and the vertical distance, and points A, B, and C are three spraying points in the spraying actuator. The arm car sprays horizontally from points A, B, and C respectively. Taking point A as an example, the horizontal distance between the front end of the bracket and the ship's outer spray gun is m1, and the horizontal distance between the spray gun and the outer plate is L1. The system maintains the stability of the mechanism by controlling the horizontal distance c1 between the arm car and the ship's outer plate, the angle θL between the arm car's big arm and the vertical distance, and the horizontal distance m1 between the front end of the bracket and the ship's outer spray gun.

[0072] like Fig.10 As shown, a schematic diagram of horizontal adjustment of a ship outer plate spraying leveling control device includes:

[0073] Suppose Q' is the origin of the bracket, A1B1C1D1 is the initial position of the bracket, A2B2C2D2 is the adjusted position of the bracket, after adjustment, the horizontal distances of A2, B2, C2, D2 from the outer plate are l1, l2, l3, l4 respectively, the bracket rotation mechanism rotates to the horizontal angle value of T, the four groups of servo motor drive coefficients are Fdrive1, Fdrive2, Fdrive3 and Fdrive4 respectively, and the rotating motor drive coefficient is Fz.

[0074] The system coordinates the four servo motors F drive 1, F drive 2, F drive 3 and F drive 4 with the rotating motor Fz respectively. When the following conditions are met: l1 ≈ l2 ≈ l3 ≈ l4, and the error value α∈[αmin, αmax], and the horizontal angle value is T (T = X°), the bracket and the outer plate 9 of the ship remain in a horizontal state.

[0075] like Fig.11 The system control loop structure flow chart shown has the following characteristics: the control loop includes an arm car control circuit, a support rotation mechanism control circuit, a support horizontal adjustment mechanism control circuit, a support slide movement mechanism control circuit, a robotic arm control circuit and a paint mist protection mechanism control circuit.

[0076] Among them, the system realizes the horizontal distance control between the arm car and the outer panel through the arm car control circuit, realizes the parallel control of the bracket and the ground through the control circuit of the spray bracket rotation mechanism 5, realizes the equal width control of the horizontal distance between the four sides of the square bracket and the outer panel through the control circuit of the mechanical arm, realizes the horizontal distance control between the spray gun and the outer panel, and realizes the protection start and stop control through the control circuit of the paint mist protection mechanism.

[0077] The characteristics of the system motor synchronous control principle include: in order to ensure that the speeds of the motors tend to be synchronized and eliminate speed deviation and overshoot, each loop adopts a coupled synchronous control system to coordinate the control of multiple motors, where the speed of the i-th motor in each loop satisfies:

[0078] V i = kV i+1 (1)

[0079] Where Vi is the speed of the i-th motor, Vi+1 is the speed of the i+1-th motor, k is the motor speed synchronization coefficient, and the speed deviation is e.

[0080] During the spraying process, the four motors in the control loop of the bracket horizontal adjustment mechanism must meet the system synchronization requirements. The system periodically collects the motor speed. At time t0, when e≠0, the system motor Vi and Vi+1 are not synchronized. The synchronous control compensation circuit adopts PID control, and the control algorithm is as follows:

[0081]

[0082] K d =K P ×T d (3)

[0083]

[0084] Where KP is the proportional coefficient, Kd is the differential time constant, KI is the integral time constant,

[0085] The larger the proportional coefficient value, the greater the motor acceleration, and the speed overshoot can be avoided by correcting the signal differential time constant.

[0086] The incremental algorithm is as follows:

[0087] K p [e(k)-e(k-1)]+K I e(k)+K D [e(k)-2e(k-1)+e(k-2)](5)

[0088] The system adjusts the parameters KP, Kd, ​​and KI online, and uses the control to directly perform closed-loop control on the control loop.

[0089] like Fig.12 The control flow chart of a system of a ship outer plate spraying and leveling control device is shown, and the process includes:

[0090] S1: System ship outer plate spraying leveling control system, workers drive the straight arm elevated vehicle to the initial starting position according to the system preset initial position;

[0091] S2: The signal acquisition unit starts working, 4 sets of ranging panoramic cameras randomly sample, and the system performs distance detection;

[0092] S3: The overhead crane arm starts to move toward the outer plate of the ship, and the system detects the distance between the bracket and the outer plate in real time;

[0093] S4: If the distance between the bracket and the outer plate of the ship satisfies L1∈[Lmin, Lmax], L2∈[Lmin, Lmax], L3∈[Lmin, Lmax], L4∈[Lmin, Lmax], the system controls the elevated vehicle arm to stop moving. Similarly, if the distance between the bracket and the outer plate of the ship does not meet the above conditions, the elevated vehicle arm continues to move forward or backward;

[0094] S5: The system signal acquisition unit turns on the built-in gyroscope to collect the bracket position information in real time and transmit it to the control center;
