DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following is combined with Figure 1-10 This application is described in further detail.

[0038] The present application embodiment discloses a car repair spraying robot. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automobile repair and painting robot includes a bracket 1, on which a chain conveyor 2 and a painting robot body 3 are mounted, and a mounting seat 4 is mounted on the chain of the chain conveyor 2. In the present embodiment, there are three mounting seats 4, on which a support seat 41 is mounted, and the sheet metal parts to be repaired and sprayed will be placed.

[0039] It is worth noting that the shape of the upper surface of the support seat 41 matches the inner shape of the sheet metal part to be repaired and sprayed, thereby improving the stability of the sheet metal part during the repair and spraying process.

[0040] The bracket 1 is provided with a control unit 5 , which includes a controller 51 and a pressure sensor 52 . The upper surface of the support base 41 is provided with a groove 411 , and the pressure sensor 52 is fixedly embedded in the groove 411 , so that the pressure sensor 52 is installed on the support base 41 .

[0041] It is worth noting that the pressure sensor 52 and the chain conveyor 2 are both coupled to the controller 51. When the worker places the sheet metal on the support seat 41, the sheet metal will be pressed against the pressure sensor 52, and the pressure sensor 52 will transmit a start signal to the controller 51. The controller 51 will control the chain conveyor 2 to start, so that the chain conveyor 2 can transport the sheet metal.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, two groups of clamping units 6 are provided on the mounting seat 4, and the two groups of clamping units 6 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the support seat 41. The clamping unit 6 includes a clamping plate assembly 61, and the clamping plate assembly 61 includes a mounting plate 611 connected to the mounting seat 4 through an elastic telescopic rod 62. The length direction of the elastic telescopic rod 62 is the same as the width direction of the chain conveyor 2. The mounting plate 611 is rotatably connected to a pressure plate 612 that can be flipped on a vertical plane. The pressure plate 612 and the mounting plate 611 are commonly connected to the same torsion spring 613.

[0043] Two first guide plates 11 are installed on the bracket 1 , and the first guide plates 11 correspond to the mounting plates 611 one by one. The distance between the two first guide plates 11 gradually decreases from the input end of the chain conveyor 2 to the output end of the chain conveyor 2 .

[0044] During the process of conveying sheet metal parts by the chain conveyor 2, the two mounting plates 611 will respectively move and contact the corresponding first guide plates 11, so that the two mounting plates 611 slide close to each other, and the two pressure plates 612 will jointly clamp the sheet metal parts on the support seat 41; if there is a deviation between the position of the sheet metal parts and the position to be processed, the sheet metal parts will be pushed to move by the pressure plates 612 during the clamping process, thereby realizing the adjustment of the longitudinal position of the sheet metal parts.

[0045] A first stop plate 111 is integrally formed on one end of the first guide plate 11 facing the output end of the chain conveyor 2, and the first stop plate 111 extends along the length direction of the chain conveyor 2. When the sheet metal is clamped by the two pressing plates 612, the mounting plate 611 will be separated from the first guide plate 11 and continue to contact the first stop plate 111, so that the mounting plate 611 and the sheet metal on the support seat 41 remain relatively still, so as to ensure the clamping effect of the two pressing plates 612 on the sheet metal.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, a baffle 12 is provided above the chain conveyor 2, and vertically arranged lifting rods 121 are installed on both sides of the baffle 12. Two limit rings 13 are installed on the bracket 1, and the limit rings 13 correspond to the lifting rods 121 one by one, and the lifting rods 121 are slidably embedded in the limit rings 13 along the vertical direction, so that the baffle 12 can only perform lifting movements.

[0047] When the baffle 12 is in the lowest state, the lowest point of the baffle 12 will not be higher than the lowest point of the sheet metal on the support seat 41. Therefore, after the sheet metal is clamped by the two pressure plates 612, the front end of the sheet metal on the support seat 41 can contact the baffle 12, and the baffle 12 will block the sheet metal from moving forward, causing the position of the sheet metal on the support seat 41 to change.

[0048] A sliding seat 42 is installed on the mounting seat 4, and an upwardly inclined pushing surface 421 is provided on the sliding seat 42. When the mounting seat 4 continues to move forward, the pushing surface 421 of the sliding seat 42 will move to contact the lifting rod 121, and the lifting rod 121 will drive the baffle 12 to rise above the sheet metal part on the supporting seat 41, so that the baffle 12 no longer hinders the advancement of the sheet metal part. At this time, the sheet metal part has moved to the specified position on the supporting seat 41, thereby realizing the adjustment of the lateral position of the sheet metal part.

[0049] To sum up, during the maintenance and spraying process of sheet metal parts, workers need to place the sheet metal parts in a front position on the support seat 41, and then during the forward movement of the sheet metal parts, the pressure plate 612 and the baffle 12 will jointly adjust the position of the sheet metal parts on the support seat 41, so that the sheet metal parts can automatically and accurately move to the specified position, thereby ensuring the spraying effect of the sheet metal parts in the subsequent process.

[0050] It is worth noting that when the sheet metal and the support seat 41 pass under the baffle 12, the upper surface of the sliding seat 42 will be separated from the lifting rod 121, and the baffle 12 will drop to its initial position due to its own gravity, so that the baffle 12 can adjust the position of subsequent sheet metal parts.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, two second guide plates 14 are installed on the bracket 1, and the second guide plates 14 correspond to the pressure plates 612 one by one. The distance between the two second guide plates 14 gradually decreases from the input end of the chain conveyor 2 to the output end of the chain conveyor 2.

[0052] After the lateral position adjustment of the sheet metal is completed, the two pressing plates 612 will move to contact the corresponding second guide plates 14 respectively, so that the two pressing plates 612 are flipped and approached to each other, and the two pressing plates 612 will jointly press the sheet metal onto the support seat 41.

[0053] A second stop plate 141 is integrally formed on one end of the second guide plate 14 facing the output end of the chain conveyor 2, and the second stop plate 141 extends along the length direction of the chain conveyor 2. When the sheet metal is pressed and fixed by the pressing plate 612, the pressing plate 612 will be separated from the second guide plate 14 and continue to contact the second stop plate 141, so that the sheet metal on the mounting plate 611 and the support seat 41 remain relatively still, so as to ensure the pressing effect of the two pressing plates 612 on the sheet metal.

[0054] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, a suction unit 7 is provided on the support seat 41, and the suction unit 7 includes a lifting seat 71 located below the support seat 41, and the upper surface of the lifting seat 71 is connected to a plurality of suction cups 73 through a connecting pipe 72, and the connecting pipe 72 is slidably penetrated in the support seat 41 along the vertical direction, so that the lifting seat 71 can only perform lifting and lowering movements relative to the support seat 41; a plurality of accommodating grooves 412 are provided on the upper surface of the support seat 41, and the accommodating grooves 412 correspond to the suction cups 73 one by one, and the suction cups 73 are located in the accommodating grooves 412, so that the suction cups 73 are stored; before the pressing plate 612 is pressed against the sheet metal, the lifting seat 71 will be in the lowest state, and the suction cups 73 will be spaced apart from the lower surface of the sheet metal.

[0055] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, a top seat 15 is installed on the bracket 1, and an upwardly inclined rising surface 151 is provided on the top seat 15. When the pressing plate 612 presses the sheet metal part onto the supporting seat 41, the lifting seat 71 will move against the rising surface 151, and the lifting seat 71 will gradually rise and push the suction cup 73 to rise through the connecting pipe 72; since the sheet metal part has been pressed downward by the pressing plate 612, the suction cup 73 will be able to be sucked tightly onto the lower surface of the sheet metal part, so that the sheet metal part is adsorbed and fixed.

[0056] When the sheet metal is fixed by the suction cup 73, the mounting plate 611 will be separated from the first limit plate 111, the pressure plate 612 will be separated from the second limit plate 141, and the elastic telescopic rod 62 will return to its natural state and cause the pressure plate 612 to move away from the side of the sheet metal, so that the pressure plate 612 will not affect the spraying of the sheet metal by the spray robot body 3, and the suction cup 73 located under the sheet metal will not affect the spraying of the sheet metal by the spray robot body 3, and improves the stability of the sheet metal during the maintenance spraying process.

[0057] The control unit 5 also includes a contact sensor 53 mounted on the bracket 1, and the contact sensor 53 and the spray robot body 3 are both coupled to the controller 51. When the pressing plate 612 moves away from the sheet metal, the mounting seat 4 will move against the contact sensor 53, and the contact sensor 53 will send a spraying signal to the controller 51, and the controller 51 will control the spray robot body 3 to spray the sheet metal on the support seat 41 according to the set program.

[0058] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting tube 72 is connected to the interior of the suction cup 73, and the connecting tube 72 is provided with an air hole 721 extending in the horizontal direction, and an insertion rod 74 is slidably embedded in the air hole 721. The insertion rod 74 and the connecting tube 72 are connected to the same spring 75. When the spring 75 is in a natural state, the insertion rod 74 will be inserted into the air hole 721 and block the air hole 721, so that the suction cup 73 maintains a vacuum state when it is sucked tightly onto the sheet metal.

[0059] A magnetic plate 17 is installed on the bracket 1, and all the plug plates are connected to the same iron plate 76. After the spraying of the spray robot body 3 is completed, the mounting seat 4 will drive the iron plate 76 to move to the magnetic plate 17, and the magnetic plate 17 will adsorb and fix the iron plate 76, and the iron plate 76 will drive the plug rod 74 to move away from the air hole 721. At this time, the inside of the connecting tube 72 will be connected to the outside of the connecting tube 72 through the air hole 721, and the external air will enter the inside of the suction cup 73 through the air hole 721 and the connecting tube 72, so that the inside of the suction cup 73 is no longer in a vacuum state, so that the suction cup 73 can be separated from the sheet metal in the subsequent process.

[0060] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, a pressing seat 16 is installed on the bracket 1, and the top seat 15 and the pressing seat 16 are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the chain conveyor 2. A downwardly inclined lower pressing surface 161 is provided on the pressing seat 16. When the interior of the suction cup 73 is no longer in a vacuum state, the mounting seat 4 will drive the lifting seat 71 to move against the lower pressing surface 161, and the lifting seat 71 will descend and drive the suction cup 73 to move downward and separate from the sheet metal part through the connecting pipe 72, so as to facilitate the unloading of the sheet metal part in the subsequent process.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, a guide plate 18 is installed on the bracket 1 in an inclined manner, and the high end of the guide plate 18 is located at the output end of the chain conveyor 2. A horizontally arranged collecting plate 181 is integrally formed at the low end of the guide plate 18. When the suction cup 73 is detached from the sheet metal, the mounting seat 4 will gradually move to the output end of the conveyor. At this time, the support seat 41 will be driven by the chain conveyor 2 to flip downward, and the sheet metal on the support seat 41 will automatically fall downward to the guide plate 18 due to its own gravity. The guide plate 18 will guide the sheet metal to the collecting plate 181, thereby realizing automatic unloading and collection of the sheet metal.

[0062] It is worth noting that, when the sheet metal part is detached from the support seat 41 , the sheet metal part will no longer be pressed against the pressure sensor 52 , and the pressure sensor 52 will send a stop signal to the controller 51 , and the controller 51 will control the chain conveyor 2 to shut down.

[0063] The implementation principle of the automobile repair and painting robot in the embodiment of the present application is: during the repair and spraying process of the sheet metal parts, the worker will place the sheet metal parts on the support seat 41 and press them against the pressure sensor 52.
