[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. In the present invention, an ultrasonic sensor is provided so that when the telescopic arm is extended inside the fixed frame, the ultrasonic sensor emits ultrasonic waves of a certain frequency, and the system can accurately measure the actual distance between the micro-long spray gun and the workpiece. When the micro-long spray gun reaches a certain distance from the workpiece, it stops extending to prevent the micro-long spray gun from colliding with the workpiece and affecting the service life of the workpiece and the micro-long spray gun.

[0020] 2. In the present invention, by setting up a closed ground rail, when the painting robot arm stops working, it automatically moves to a distant place, and the clamping robot arm moves to the side of the spray chamber. At the same time, the lifting cylinder controls the connecting frame to descend inside the bottom frame, and the telescopic rod is extended to make the cross frame and the hook ring descend, which is convenient for the operator or loading and unloading equipment to load and unload the workpiece.

[0021] 3. In the present invention, an angle motor is used to control the rotation of the rotating shaft inside the rotating frame to rotate the micro-long spray gun, and a rotary motor is used to control the rotating frame to rotate on the side of the telescopic arm to rotate the micro-long spray gun to different angles, and cooperate with the six-axis robotic arm to achieve coating of different areas of the workpiece.

[0022] 4. In the present invention, a miniature long spray gun is provided, and the length and spraying area of ​​the miniature long spray gun are smaller than those of the coating spray gun, so that the miniature long spray gun can enter a relatively narrow area, thereby compensating for the deficiency that the coating spray gun sprays over a large area, resulting in some complex areas not being sprayed, thereby improving the spraying effect on the workpiece.

[0023] 5. In the present invention, an illumination lamp is used to assist the visual sensor in detecting the sprayed workpiece, so as to avoid the visual sensor's detection effect on the painted workpiece being affected by insufficient lighting in a dim environment.

[0024] 6. In the present invention, when the coating spray gun is working, the cylinder is pushed to retract, and when the sliding block and the movable seat move to the right, the visual sensor and the lighting lamp move to the inside of the protective cover, the push rod rotates, and the sliding sleeve moves toward each other on the outer surface of the fixed track. The baffles at both ends block one end of the protective cover to prevent the coating spray liquid from getting on the visual sensor and the lighting lamp when the coating spray gun is working, thereby affecting the visual sensor's detection of the workpiece.

[0025] 7. In the present invention, a spray room is used to form a relatively closed environment for the coating area, reducing the splashing of the spray liquid, thereby improving the working environment of the coating. The water nozzle forms a water curtain on the inner wall of the spray room. When the spray liquid is coating the workpiece, the splashing spray liquid will directly contact the water flow. The dilution of the water flow can prevent the coating liquid from adhering to the inner wall of the spray room, making it easier to clean the spray liquid and improving the convenience of cleaning the spray room.

[0026] 8. In the present invention, the motor of the rack controls the rotation of the pulley, and the connecting belt is used to make the rotating wheel drive the horizontal frame to rotate, so that the workpiece can be rotated to any angle, which is convenient for the coating robot arm to paint the workpiece at various angles and orientations, thereby improving the performance of coating the workpiece.

[0027] 9. In the present invention, the spraying condition of the workpiece surface is detected by a visual sensor. When an unpainted area is detected on the workpiece surface, the micro long spray gun is operated to paint the unpainted area.

[0028] 10. In the present invention, the spraying condition of the workpiece surface is detected by a visual sensor, and a micro long spray gun is used to re-coat the uncoated area, thereby reducing the errors caused by manual re-spraying and manual inspection, and improving the efficiency and effect of workpiece coating.

[0040] By providing the closed ground rail 2, the coating robot arm 4 automatically moves to a distant place when it stops working, so as to facilitate the operator or loading and unloading equipment to load and unload the workpiece.

Then, the lifting cylinder 54 contracts, so that the movable rod 514 drives the cross frame 58 to rise, and the mobile motor 18 controls the rotation of the mobile screw 17 through the belt transmission member 19, so that the workpiece moves to the inside of the spray chamber 11.

[0060] Clean water is injected into the spraying room 11, and the circulating water pump 12 is controlled to work, so that the clean water passes through the circulating water pump 12, passes through the connecting water pipe 13, and is sprayed out from the water nozzle 14. The clean water sprayed from the water nozzle 14 forms a water curtain on the inner wall of the spraying room 11. At this time, the driving seat 3 slides on the top of the closed ground rail 2, so that the driving seat 3 drives the coating robot arm 4 to move to the side of the workpiece, and the coating spray gun 43 is controlled by the six-axis robot arm 42 to paint the workpiece. After the coating is completed, it enters the detection stage. During the detection process, the cylinder 459 is pushed to extend, so that the sliding block 458 drives the moving seat 454 to move to the left, and the pushing rods 457 at both ends of the moving seat 454 rotate, pushing the baffles 4512 on both sides to move to both sides at one end of the protective cover 452, so that one end of the protective cover 452 is opened, and the visual sensor 455 and the lighting lamp 456 are extended, and The workpiece is illuminated and inspected, and the spraying condition of the workpiece surface is detected by the visual sensor 455 (using the difference in color between the painted area and the unpainted area). The bracket motor 511 controls the pulley 512 to rotate and rotates the rotating wheel 53 on the outer surface of the bottom block 52 through the connecting belt 513. The telescopic rod 57 at the bottom of the rotating wheel 53 drives the horizontal frame 58 to rotate, so that the workpiece suspended on the hook ring 510 rotates. The six-axis robot arm 42 drives the detection device 45 and the auxiliary coating part 44 to move back and forth up and down on the side of the workpiece. When the visual sensor 455 detects the unpainted area, the visual sensor 455 controls the bracket motor 511 to stop rotating through an electrical signal, so that the horizontal frame 58 at the bottom of the rotating wheel 53 stops rotating, and the unpainted area of ​​the workpiece stops on the side of the coating robot arm 4, so that the coating robot arm 4 can paint the workpiece;

[0061] Subsequently, the corner motor 4410 controls the driving wheel 4411 to rotate, and drives the driving wheel 4412 and the rotating shaft 4414 to rotate through the transmission belt 4413, so that the ultrasonic sensor 4416 rotates to the side of the workpiece, and the telescopic motor 443 controls the rotating screw 444 to rotate, so that the telescopic arm 445 extends inside the fixed frame 441, and the actual distance between the micro long spray gun 4417 and the workpiece is measured by the ultrasonic sensor 4416, and this information is fed back to the system through an electrical signal, so that the telescopic arm 445 stops extending inside the fixed frame 441, and the telescopic arm 445 stops extending when it reaches a certain distance from the workpiece, and the corner motor 4410 again drives the driving wheel 4412 to drive the rotating shaft 4414 to rotate through the transmission belt 4413, and the micro long spray gun 4417 rotates to the side of the workpiece, and the micro long spray gun 4417 works to paint the unpainted area;

[0062] After the work is completed, the air cylinder 459 is pushed to retract, and when the sliding block 458 and the moving seat 454 move to the right, the visual sensor 455 and the lighting lamp 456 move to the inside of the protective cover 452, the pushing rod 457 rotates, and the sliding sleeve 4511 moves toward each other on the outer surface of the fixed track 4510, and the baffle 4512 moves toward each other on both sides of one end of the protective cover 452, so that the baffles 4512 at both ends block one end of the protective cover 452 to prevent the coating spray liquid from sticking to the visual sensor 455 and the lighting lamp 456 when the coating spray gun 43 is working, thereby affecting the detection of the workpiece by the visual sensor 455.
