DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] Embodiment one, the present application will be specifically described below in combination with the drawings, as shown in the drawings, the present application provides a powder spraying method on the surface of a slender pipe, wherein the method comprises: Figure 1

[0023] S1: setting the slender pipe after surface pretreatment on the powder spraying workbench, the powder spraying workbench is provided with a powder feeding mechanism, a spray gun mechanism, a pipe fixing assembly and a pipe rotating assembly; S2: the spray gun mechanism sprays the powder coating to the surface of the slender pipe under the action of the electrostatic field, and determines the first operation parameter combination associated with the pipe fixing assembly and the pipe rotating assembly; S3: the powder feeding mechanism adjusts the powder feeding pressure according to the preset powder feeding amount to convey the powder coating in the powder feeding pipeline and enter the spray gun mechanism, and determines the second operation parameter combination associated with the pipe fixing assembly and the pipe rotating assembly, the powder feeding mechanism comprises a double powder feeding channel.

[0024] ​Specifically, the surface pretreatment refers to sandblasting and plasma cleaning of the elongated pipe to improve the adhesion of the powder; the powder spraying workstation is a platform that carries and integrates the powder feeding, spray gun, fixing and rotating components; the powder feeding mechanism includes double channels, responsible for delivering the powder coating to the spray gun according to the set amount and pressure; the spray gun mechanism charges the powder with electricity through the electrostatic field and adsorbs it to the pipe surface; the pipe fixing component is used to stabilize the elongated pipe to prevent displacement; the pipe rotating component drives the elongated pipe to rotate to ensure uniform spraying; determining the first and second operating parameter combinations refers to associating the spray gun and powder feeding parameters according to the pipe fixing and rotating states, such as the synchronization coefficient of the spray gun moving speed and the pipe rotating speed, the adaptation value of the powder feeding pressure and the pipe diameter, etc.

[0025] In a feasible implementation, first, the elongated pipe pretreated by sandblasting and plasma cleaning is accurately placed on the powder spraying workstation and clamped with the pipe fixing component, and the rotating component is started to make the pipe rotate at a uniform speed. At this time, the spray gun mechanism moves at a certain speed and adjusts the spraying angle under the action of the electrostatic field (voltage 40-60 kV) according to the pipe diameter and rotating speed, to ensure uniform adhesion of the powder. For example, in the double channels of the powder feeding mechanism, the primary channel delivers the powder at a flow rate of 100-300 g / min through a screw pump, and the secondary channel atomizes the powder into 10-30 μm particles at a frequency of 20-40 kHz through an ultrasonic device. The powder feeding ratio of the two channels is dynamically adjusted according to the pipe wall thickness (for example, when the wall thickness is 2 mm, the primary channel accounts for 60% and the secondary channel accounts for 40%), so that the powder is stably delivered and finely atomized.

[0026] S4: dynamically adjusting the spiral angle of the anti-adhesion flow guide groove based on the spray gun mechanism and the first operating parameter combination, the powder feeding mechanism and the second operating parameter combination, with the anti-adhesion flow guide structure integrated in the pipe rotating component; S5: at the same time, combining the rotating speed sensing characteristics and real-time triggering mechanism of the piezoelectric centrifugal switch to perform self-adaptive control of spraying uniformity.

[0027] Specifically, the anti-adhesion flow guide structure refers to a special structure integrated inside the pipe rotating component, the surface of which is treated to reduce the adhesion of the powder coating, and the flow direction of the powder is guided through the flow guide groove; dynamically adjusting the spiral angle of the flow guide groove refers to adjusting the spiral angle of the flow guide groove in real time according to the change of the friction torque during the rotation of the pipe, to optimize the powder flow path; the piezoelectric centrifugal switch is a device that utilizes the rotating speed sensing characteristics and high-frequency vibration function of piezoelectric ceramics, which can detect the rotating speed of the pipe in real time and trigger corresponding actions; self-adaptive control of spraying uniformity refers to automatically adjusting the parameters such as spray gun displacement, powder feeding amount, and electrostatic voltage based on the speed information and coating thickness detection data fed back by the piezoelectric centrifugal switch, to ensure uniform coating thickness.

[0028] In a feasible embodiment, during spraying, the spray gun mechanism works according to a first combination of operating parameters (e.g. spray gun moving speed 0.8-1.2 m / s, spray gun angle 45-75°, electrostatic voltage 40-60 kV) and the powder feeding mechanism works according to a second combination of operating parameters (e.g. primary channel powder feeding amount 100-300 g / min, secondary channel atomization frequency 20-40 kHz). At this time, the anti-adhesion flow guide structure in the pipe rotating assembly dynamically adjusts the spiral angle of the flow guide groove (adjustment range 10°-30°) according to the friction torque (when the torque exceeds 0.5 N·m), optimizes the powder flow path in the pipe, and makes the powder distribution more uniform. At the same time, the piezoelectric centrifugal switch detects the pipe rotating speed in real time, and when it detects that the coating thickness deviation exceeds ±10 μm, triggers the spray gun transverse displacement compensation (displacement accuracy ±0.1 mm), and adjusts the powder feeding pressure (fluctuation range ±0.02 MPa) and powder feeding amount (fluctuation range ±5 g / min), as well as the spray gun electrostatic voltage (fluctuation range ±1 kV) and moving speed (fluctuation range ±0.02 m / s) in combination with the rotating speed information. This process forms a cross-physical field synergistic regulation architecture, which reduces the coating thickness standard deviation and powder residue rate through the coupling of mechanical field (pipe rotating), flow field (powder feeding), electrostatic field (spray gun) and vibration field (piezoelectric self-cleaning), and significantly improves the spraying quality and production efficiency.

[0029] Further, the spray gun mechanism sprays the powder coating towards the surface of the elongated pipe under the action of the electrostatic field, determines a first combination of operating parameters associated with the pipe fixing assembly and the pipe rotating assembly, and the method comprises:

[0030] According to the distance between the spray gun and the surface of the elongated pipe, the moving speed of the spray gun is adjusted; according to the correlation index of the spray gun angle and the uniformity of the coating thickness, the spray gun angle is set according to the length of the elongated pipe; a mapping relationship table of the pipe diameter of the elongated pipe and the electrostatic voltage is established, and the first combination of operating parameters is obtained by integrating the moving speed of the spray gun, the spray gun angle and the electrostatic voltage determined by using the mapping relationship table.

[0031] Specifically, the distance between the spray gun and the surface of the elongated pipe refers to the vertical height from the nozzle of the spray gun to the surface of the elongated pipe, which directly affects the deposition efficiency and coating thickness of the powder coating; the spray gun moving speed is the speed of the spray gun moving along the axial direction of the elongated pipe, which, together with the powder spraying amount of the spray gun and the rotation speed of the elongated pipe, determines the uniformity of the coating; the spray gun angle refers to the included angle between the nozzle of the spray gun and the normal line of the surface of the elongated pipe, which affects the impact speed and diffusion range of the powder particles, and further affects the thickness distribution of the coating; the correlation index of the uniformity of the coating thickness is a quantitative index for describing the sensitivity of the change of the spray gun angle to the uniformity of the coating thickness; and the mapping relationship table of the pipe diameter of the elongated pipe and the electrostatic voltage is established based on a large amount of experimental data, and is used to guide the selection of a proper electrostatic voltage under different pipe diameters, so as to ensure the adsorption effect of the powder on the surface of the elongated pipe.

[0032] In a feasible implementation, first, the moving speed of the spray gun is adjusted according to the distance between the spray gun and the surface of the elongated pipe, and generally, the distance between the spray gun and the surface of the elongated pipe is controlled within the range of 100-200 mm. When the distance is 150 mm, the moving speed of the spray gun is preferably set to be 0.5 m / s-1.5 m / s. For example, for an elongated pipe with a length of 2 m, the spray gun is moved at a speed of 1 m / s, which can ensure that the uniformity of the coating thickness is within ±5%. Then, according to the correlation index of the spray gun angle and the uniformity of the coating thickness, the spray gun angle is set by referring to the length of the elongated pipe. If the correlation index is 0.8, for an elongated pipe with a length of 3 m, the spray gun angle can be set to be 60°, so that the standard deviation of the coating thickness is reduced to 3 μm. Finally, the mapping relationship table of the pipe diameter of the elongated pipe and the electrostatic voltage is established. After the spray gun moving speed, the spray gun angle and the electrostatic voltage are integrated, the first operation parameter combination is obtained. Through the precise adjustment of the operation parameters of the spray gun, the uniform deposition of the powder coating on the surface of the elongated pipe is ensured, which provides a key process guarantee for the subsequent high-quality powder spraying.

[0033] Further, the spray gun mechanism comprises an electrostatic field generator, and the method comprises:

[0034] A high-voltage electrostatic generator is configured, and the technical parameters of the high-voltage electrostatic generator include an output voltage range and an output current range; the electrode spacing is dynamically adjusted according to the surface roughness of the pipe, the electrostatic field strength distribution is optimized, and the output voltage value and the output current value corresponding to the technical parameters of the device are fine-tuned in combination with the temperature and humidity of the spraying environment.

[0035] Specifically, the high-voltage electrostatic generator is a device for generating a high-voltage electrostatic field, and the output voltage range and the output current range are key parameters determining the strength of the electrostatic field and the powder adhesion effect; the surface roughness of the pipe is an important factor affecting the adhesion of the powder coating, and the distribution of the electrostatic field can be changed by adjusting the electrode spacing, thereby affecting the adsorption efficiency of the powder; the multi-pole electrostatic field strength distribution refers to the change of the strength of the electrostatic field at different positions, and optimizing this distribution helps to improve the uniformity of the adsorption of the powder on the surface of the slender pipe; the temperature and humidity of the spraying environment have a significant impact on the stability of the electrostatic field and the flowability of the powder, and fine-tuning the technical parameters of the equipment can compensate for fluctuations caused by environmental factors.

[0036] In a feasible implementation, when configuring the high-voltage electrostatic generator, first set its output voltage range to 30-70kV and output current range to 0-300μA to meet the needs of different slender pipe spraying. For example, when the surface roughness of the pipe is Ra1.5-3.0μm, the multi-pole electrostatic field strength distribution is optimized by dynamically adjusting the electrode spacing between 5-15mm, reducing the standard deviation of the electrostatic field strength to 8%, and at the same time, according to the temperature and humidity of the spraying environment (temperature 20-25°C, humidity 40-60%), fine-tune the output voltage value and output current value. By integrating the parameters such as the moving speed of the spray gun, the angle of the spray gun, and the electrostatic voltage, the first operation parameter combination is obtained, so as to ensure the adsorption effect of the powder on the surface of the slender pipe and the quality of the coating, realize the precise control of the electrostatic spraying parameters, and effectively improve the adhesion and uniformity of the coating.

[0037] Further, the powder feeding mechanism includes a double powder feeding channel, and the method includes:

[0038] The primary powder feeding channel in the double powder feeding channel uses a screw pump to control the powder flow parameters, including the output flow range and the powder particle size; the secondary powder feeding channel in the double powder feeding channel integrates an ultrasonic atomization device, and the ultrasonic atomization parameters include the atomization frequency range and the atomized particle size; wherein, according to the outer diameter of the pipe and the pipe wall thickness, the powder feeding ratio of the primary powder feeding channel and the secondary powder feeding channel is dynamically adjusted, and a differentiated powder feeding strategy is set.

[0039] Specifically, the primary powder feeding channel uses a screw pump to control the powder flow parameters. The primary powder feeding channel is part of the dual powder feeding channel and is mainly responsible for delivering the powder coating to the spray gun mechanism at a certain flow rate. The screw pump precisely controls the output flow of the powder by its rotation speed. The output flow range refers to the interval of powder flow that the screw pump can provide, usually measured in grams per minute (g / min). The powder particle size refers to the size of the powder particles, which affects the roughness and adhesion of the coating. The secondary powder feeding channel integrates an ultrasonic atomization device. The secondary powder feeding channel focuses on further refining and atomizing the powder to improve its flowability and uniformity. The ultrasonic atomization parameters include the atomization frequency range and the atomized particle size. The atomization frequency determines the degree of powder atomization, and the higher the frequency, the better the atomization effect. The atomized particle size affects the fineness of the coating.

[0040] In a feasible implementation, during operation, the screw pump of the primary powder feeding channel delivers the powder coating at a stable flow rate (generally adjustable between 50-300 g / min) according to the system's set parameters. For example, for large-diameter and thick-walled pipe fittings, the flow rate can be adjusted to a higher value of 200-300 g / min. At the same time, the ultrasonic atomization device in the secondary powder feeding channel atomizes at a certain frequency (usually between 20-50 kHz) to refine the powder particles to a suitable particle size (such as 10-40 μm). The system dynamically adjusts the powder feeding ratio of the two channels according to the pipe's outer diameter and wall thickness. For example, when the pipe has a large outer diameter and thick wall, the primary powder feeding channel's powder feeding ratio can be adjusted to 60%-70%, and the secondary powder feeding channel's ratio can be reduced to 30%-40% to ensure sufficient powder supply and good atomization effect. For small-diameter and thin-walled pipe fittings, the primary channel's powder feeding ratio can be reduced to 40%-50%, and the secondary channel's ratio can be increased to 50%-60% to avoid excessive powder accumulation. Using differentiated powder feeding strategies can ensure uniform distribution and effective adhesion of the powder on different pipe fittings and improve the quality of the coating.

[0041] Further, the method of the present application also includes:

[0042] The pipe rotating assembly includes a servo motor driving unit. When the friction torque between the guide groove and the pipe wall is detected to exceed the torque threshold value, an angle fine-tuning instruction is triggered. After receiving the angle fine-tuning instruction, the servo motor driving unit adjusts the rotation angle of the pipe to change the contact state between the guide groove and the pipe wall.

[0043] Specifically, the pipe rotating assembly includes a servo motor drive unit, which is a high-precision and high-response motor control system that can accurately adjust the rotation angle and speed of the pipe according to the control signal; the friction torque between the guide groove and the pipe wall refers to the friction torque generated between the guide groove and the pipe wall due to contact and relative motion during the rotation of the pipe; the torque threshold is a pre-set torque threshold, and when the friction torque exceeds this value, the system will determine that adjustment is needed; the angle fine-tuning instruction is a control signal used to instruct the servo motor drive unit to make a small adjustment to the rotation angle of the pipe to change the contact state between the guide groove and the pipe wall.

[0044] In a feasible implementation, when the pipe is rotating on the rotating assembly, the system monitors the friction torque between the guide groove and the pipe wall in real time. Once it detects that the friction torque exceeds the set torque threshold (for example, when the torque reaches 0.3 N·m), the system will automatically generate an angle fine-tuning instruction. After the servo motor drive unit receives the instruction, it will accurately adjust the rotation angle of the pipe, usually within ±5°, to change the contact state between the guide groove and the pipe wall, thereby reducing the friction torque, making the contact pressure between the guide groove and the pipe wall evenly distributed, reducing the friction torque, effectively preventing excessive wear between the guide groove and the pipe wall, reducing the residue of powder in the guide groove, improving the efficiency of powder delivery and the uniformity of the coating, and ensuring the stability and quality of the entire spraying process.

[0045] Further, the dynamic adjustment of the helix angle of the guide groove in the pipe rotating assembly with the anti-adhesion guide structure integrated therein includes:

[0046] The anti-adhesion guide structure is subjected to guide groove surface treatment to determine the friction coefficient; a dust collection cavity is provided at the bottom of the guide groove; and a negative pressure suction unit is provided in the dust collection cavity to remove the stripped powder in real time.

[0047] Specifically, the anti-adhesion guide structure is subjected to guide groove surface treatment, which means that the surface of the guide groove is processed by a specific physical or chemical method to reduce the adhesion of powder coating on its surface; the friction coefficient is a physical quantity that measures the friction force between the surface of the guide groove and the powder particles, and the smaller the value, the smoother the flow of the powder; the dust collection cavity is a closed space provided at the bottom of the guide groove for collecting the stripped or unabsorbed powder during the spraying process; and the negative pressure suction unit is a device that generates suction force by utilizing the pressure difference, which can continuously extract and collect the powder particles in the dust collection cavity, ensuring the cleanliness of the spraying environment and the efficient use of the powder.

[0048] In a feasible implementation, the surface of the flow guide groove of the anti-adhesion flow guide structure is treated before the start of the spraying operation, for example, sandblasting is used to make the surface roughness of the flow guide groove reach Ra 0.5-1.0 μm, and then a Teflon coating is applied to reduce the friction coefficient of the surface of the flow guide groove, thereby effectively reducing the adhesion of the powder in the flow guide groove. During the spraying process, under the combined action of the electrostatic field and the airflow, part of the powder that is not adsorbed on the surface of the slender tube will flow to the bottom of the flow guide groove along with the airflow, and enter the dust collection chamber. The negative pressure suction unit in the dust collection chamber continuously sucks the powder particles in the dust collection chamber out at a pressure of-0.5--1.0 kPa, and transports them to the powder recycling system through the pipeline for reuse. For example, in the case of spraying 500 g of powder per hour, the dust collection chamber can collect more than 85% of the unadsorbed powder, and the negative pressure suction unit will transport all of these powders to the recycling system, not only reducing the residual powder in the flow guide groove, but also improving the utilization rate of the powder.

[0049] Further, in combination with the rotation speed sensing characteristics and real-time triggering mechanism of the piezoelectric centrifugal switch, the present application method includes:

[0050] Real-time detection of coating thickness; when the detected thickness deviation exceeds the thickness deviation threshold, trigger the lateral displacement compensation of the spray gun; at the same time, in combination with the rotation speed information of the pipe provided by the real-time feedback of the piezoelectric centrifugal switch, cooperatively adjust the powder feeding pressure and powder feeding amount of the powder feeding mechanism, and the electrostatic voltage and spray gun moving speed of the spray gun mechanism.

[0051] Specifically, real-time detection of coating thickness refers to continuously monitoring the thickness of the coating during the spraying process using a non-contact sensor (such as an eddy current sensor or a laser sensor); the thickness deviation threshold is a pre-set allowable error range, when the actual coating thickness exceeds this range, the system will trigger the compensation mechanism; the lateral displacement compensation of the spray gun refers to the spray gun making a small movement in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the slender tube to adjust the spraying position and ensure uniform coating thickness; the rotation speed information of the pipe provided by the real-time feedback of the piezoelectric centrifugal switch is the accurate monitoring of the rotation speed of the pipe by the piezoelectric ceramic element, and the speed data is transmitted to the control system for cooperative adjustment of the powder feeding and spray gun parameters.

[0052] In a feasible implementation, during the spraying process, the system detects the coating thickness in real time through sensors installed near the elongated pipe, and the detection frequency can reach 10-20 times per second. When the coating thickness deviation exceeds the set threshold value (such as ±10 μm), the system quickly triggers the transverse displacement compensation mechanism of the spray gun. For example, if it is detected that the coating thickness at a certain position exceeds the upper limit of 15 μm, the spray gun will move 0.5-1.0 mm in the transverse direction for compensation spraying, so that the thickness deviation is restored to the allowable range. At the same time, the system combines the pipe rotation speed information (with an accuracy of ±0.1 r / min) fed back by the piezoelectric centrifugal switch to cooperatively adjust the parameters of the powder feeding mechanism and the spray gun mechanism. Through the cooperative regulation of multiple parameters, the uniformity of the coating thickness is effectively improved, the standard deviation of the coating thickness is reduced, the spraying quality is significantly improved, and the production efficiency is ensured.

[0053] Further, the method of the application further comprises:

[0054] M groups of piezoelectric ceramic sheets are distributed along the flow guide groove, and a piezoelectric sensor array is arranged; when it is detected that the centrifugal acceleration exceeds the preset acceleration threshold value, a self-cleaning mode of the flow guide groove is triggered, and in the pipe starting and stopping stage, real-time centrifugal force sensing and response are performed in the self-cleaning mode of the flow guide groove, high-frequency vibration is generated by applying a driving voltage signal to the M groups of piezoelectric ceramic sheets, and the high-frequency vibration is transmitted to the surface of the flow guide groove.

[0055] Specifically, the M groups of piezoelectric ceramic sheets refer to multiple groups of piezoelectric ceramic elements installed on the flow guide groove, which are used to sense the centrifugal acceleration and generate high-frequency vibration; the piezoelectric sensor array refers to a sensor network composed of multiple piezoelectric ceramic sheets according to a specific layout, which is used to monitor the stress state of the flow guide groove in real time; the centrifugal acceleration refers to the outward acceleration of the surface of the flow guide groove generated due to rotation during the rotation of the pipe; the preset acceleration threshold value refers to a pre-set upper limit value of the centrifugal acceleration, when the actual acceleration exceeds this value, the system will trigger the self-cleaning mode; the self-cleaning mode of the flow guide groove refers to the process of removing the residual powder on the surface of the flow guide groove through high-frequency vibration; the driving voltage signal refers to an electrical signal used to excite the piezoelectric ceramic sheet to generate vibration, and the frequency and amplitude of the driving voltage signal determine the effect of the vibration.

[0056] In a feasible implementation, during the rotation of the pipe, the M groups of piezoelectric ceramic sheets distributed in the guide groove monitor the centrifugal acceleration in real time. When the centrifugal acceleration is detected to exceed a preset threshold (such as 3g), the system triggers the self-cleaning mode of the guide groove. During the start and stop of the pipe, the system applies a driving voltage signal to the piezoelectric ceramic sheet to make it generate high-frequency vibration (frequency range 10-30 kHz), and the high-frequency vibration can effectively loosen and remove the residual powder on the surface of the guide groove, so that the residual powder falls into the dust collection cavity and is removed by the negative pressure suction unit. In this way, the cleanliness of the surface of the guide groove is significantly improved, effectively preventing the interference of residual powder on the subsequent spraying process, prolonging the maintenance cycle of the equipment, and improving the production efficiency.
