Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of laser cleaning, and in particular to a rail transit vehicle rod paint stripping laser cleaning system. Background Art

[0002] Laser cleaning removes material from solid surfaces by irradiating a laser beam. At low laser flux, the absorbed laser energy heats the material and vaporizes or sublimates it. At high laser flux, the material is typically converted into plasma. Laser cleaning, due to its high cleaning speed, low cost, and environmentally friendly characteristics, is widely used in surface cleaning and paint removal. The intelligent inspection and maintenance system for bogie rods primarily consists of modules for automated laser stripping of rods, automated press-fitting of rod joints, and robot-assisted handling. It uses a vision system to identify various rod joints and press-fitting fixtures. Laser paint stripping equipment replaces traditional paint stripping methods using paint strippers. The automated press-fitting module for rod joints enables automated disassembly and press-fitting of different rod joint models. The robot-assisted handling module uses a handling robot to transport rods between the paint stripping, flaw detection, and press-fitting stations.

[0003] During the paint stripping and cleaning process, the vision module captures the shape of the rod to be processed and invokes a pre-set paint stripping path, removing the paint layer from the rod surface according to preset laser parameters. However, in actual applications, the rod surface is affected by the operating environment and coating differences, and different rods require different laser parameters. If the laser power is too low, the coating may not be completely removed. If the laser power is too high, it may cause laser burns on the cleaned workpiece surface, affecting its reuse.
