Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of assembly technology, and more particularly to an assembly system for paint mist separation modules. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, dry paint mist treatment systems are widely used in the automotive painting industry due to their advantages such as energy saving, environmental protection, low cost, and simple waste disposal. Dry paint mist treatment systems mainly use paint mist separation modules to separate overspray paint mist in the airflow. When the paint mist separation module is saturated with paint mist, the saturated module is removed and replaced with a new module. Therefore, as a consumable, paint mist separation modules need to be continuously supplied.

[0003] The existing paint mist separation module is assembled from a cardboard filter and its accessories. Since the overall transportation of the paint mist separation module is inconvenient and costly, the components are usually transported to the site and assembled manually on site.

[0004] The fog separation module is assembled manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, inefficient, and difficult to guarantee in terms of quality. In addition, the labor cost is high, which is inconsistent with the development trend of intelligent and efficient factories.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the technical deficiencies in the existing technology by providing an assembly system for paint mist separation modules, thereby automating and unmanning the assembly process of paint mist separation modules, reducing operating costs, and improving production efficiency.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-3 The present invention discloses an assembly system for a paint mist separation module. This assembly system uses assembly equipment to gather all the components of the paint mist separation module to be assembled together and complete the assembly. Specifically, it includes a storage station 1, an assembly equipment 2, and an assembly station 3. The storage station 1 is an area used to store the components of the paint mist separation module to be assembled. It includes multiple component storage positions 4. The setting of multiple component storage positions 4 realizes the partitioning of different components. Each storage station 1 places a specified component to be assembled.

[0029] Specifically, component storage location 4 uses the ground, platform, shelves, etc. to place the components to be assembled, and the loading of the components to be assembled is completed by manual labor or automated guided vehicles.

[0030] The assembly equipment 2 is a movable mechanical device with vision-distance detection function. The assembly equipment 2 is used to pick up the specified parts to be assembled from each part storage position 4, transfer and place them on the assembly station 3 to complete the assembly of the paint mist separation module.

[0031] In this embodiment, the assembly equipment 2 includes a movable base 5, a robotic arm 6 is provided on the top of the movable base 5, and a gripping component 7 is provided at the end of the robotic arm 6. The movement of the movable base 5 can be achieved by means of sliding rails, gantry cranes, trusses, or automated guided vehicles, which can meet the reciprocating movement of the assembly equipment 2 between the various component storage positions 4 and the assembly station 3.

[0032] The robotic arm 6 is used to connect the gripping component 7 and the movable base 5, and performs actions according to instructions to control the movement of the gripping component 7. The robotic arm 6 is a conventional technology in the field of this technology, and its structure and principle will not be described in detail here. The gripping component 7 adopts the form of a vacuum suction cup or a mechanical claw, which can simultaneously perform gripping and placement actions on different components to be assembled. Furthermore, the assembly equipment 2 is equipped with a vision-distance detection device 8, which is used to identify the parts to be assembled, obtain position information, improve assembly accuracy, and ensure product assembly quality.

[0033] In this embodiment, the visual-distance detection device 8 includes an industrial camera and a laser rangefinder; The assembly station 3 is the area where the components of the paint mist separation module are assembled and completed, and it also enables the transfer and handover of finished paint mist separation modules. Preferably, the assembly station 3 can be equipped with a roller bed as a handover device to realize the handover of finished paint mist separation modules. After assembly, the handover is completed by manual labor or an automated guided vehicle with the handover device.

[0034] Preferably, the present invention also includes a control system for controlling the orderly operation of various components, realizing human-computer interaction, and monitoring the system's operating status in real time. Specifically, the control system is common knowledge in the relevant technical field, and its composition, control principle, and control method will not be described in detail here.

[0035] The paint mist separation module to be assembled in this invention has the following structure as shown in the figure, consisting of a base 9, an outer casing 10, an inner filter element 11, and a top cover 12. The base 9 and the top cover 12 are stacked and packaged for transportation. The outer casing 10 is folded and packaged for transportation and stretched into a casing during assembly. The inner filter element 11 is composed of multiple cardboard filters arranged and stacked.

[0036] The assembly system works as follows: After receiving the assembly command, the assembly equipment 2 moves to the base 9 component storage position 4, uses the vision-distance detection device 8 to locate the base 9 in the paint mist separation module, and controls the movement of the base 9 and the robotic arm 6 through the control system to compensate for positional deviations. When the gripping component 7 reaches the set position, it grips the base 9. Then, the assembly equipment 2 moves to the assembly station 3 and places the base 9 in the designated position of the assembly station 3, such as on the roller bed. The assembly equipment 2 returns to the component storage position 4 of the outer box 10, and performs positioning, gripping, transfer, unpacking, and placement of the outer box 10 in the assembly station. The internal filter element 11 is placed on the base 9 of the assembly station 3. Then the assembly equipment 2 returns to the internal filter element 11 component storage position 4 and sequentially transfers and stacks the internal filter element 11 on the base 9 inside the assembly station 3. Next, the assembly equipment 2 rotates the top cover 12 of the component storage position 4 and places it on the outer box 10 of the assembly station 3 to complete the assembly of the paint mist separation module. Finally, the information is output to the staff or the automatic guide vehicle, and the handover device of the assembly station 3 is used to complete the handover of the finished paint mist separation module. Then it is transferred to the finished product storage area or to the production station to replace the old paint mist separation module. After the handover is completed, the system starts to assemble the next paint mist separation module or waits for a new assembly instruction.

[0037] This invention automates the assembly of the paint mist separation module using assembly equipment 2. Compared to traditional manual assembly, this significantly increases assembly speed, enabling rapid response to market demands and large-scale production. Assembly equipment 2 operates according to a preset program and process, reducing errors and waiting time that may occur during manual operation, making the entire production process smoother and more efficient, further improving production efficiency. Assembly equipment 2 is equipped with a vision-distance detection device 8, which accurately identifies the positional information of the components to be assembled, ensuring that each component is accurately assembled and improving the overall quality of the product.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
