TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of particle dynamics in gas-solid two-phase flow, and particularly relates to a method for predicting the trajectory of paint mist particle recovery of a ship paint spraying robot. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of modern industrial manufacturing, painting process plays a key role in improving the appearance quality of products, providing corrosion protection, and enhancing decorative effects. In particular, in the industries of shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing, and mechanical processing, paint spraying operation is an indispensable part of the production process. During paint spraying, paint is sprayed onto the workpiece surface through a high-pressure spray gun. Due to the fine size and high-speed spraying of paint particles, a certain proportion of fine mist particles, i.e. paint mist, is inevitably generated. These paint mists contain a large amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and tiny solid particles, which pollute the environment and pose potential threats to human health. VOCs are one of the important components of atmospheric pollution, while tiny solid particles can enter the human body through the respiratory tract and induce various health problems.
[0003] In the process of painting the outer surface of a ship and recovering paint mist, determining the optimal negative pressure value to achieve efficient paint mist capture is a challenge. During the spraying process, paint is atomized from the nozzle and sprayed at high speed onto the target surface. Part of the paint particles rebound and splash after hitting the surface, and enter the airflow under the action of negative pressure with a certain initial velocity. These particles undergo complex motion under the combined action of various forces, and their trajectories are difficult to predict, making it extremely difficult to calculate the recovery efficiency of paint mist particles. Existing motion models often cannot provide accurate calculation results when dealing with such complex particle dynamic behavior, thereby limiting the optimization and efficiency improvement of paint mist recovery systems. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for predicting the trajectory of paint mist particle recovery of a ship paint spraying robot to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] The above technical purpose of the present application is achieved by the following technical solution: A method for predicting the trajectory of paint mist particle recovery of a ship paint spraying robot, comprising the following steps: Step one, obtain part of the known parameters, establish a nozzle spraying motion model, and the spraying model is based on the Euler-Lagrange method; Step two, the impact energy of the paint mist particles on the wall surface can be obtained from known parameters. When the sprayed paint mist particles meet the conditions, they will adhere to the wall surface or bounce. For the new particles that bounce and splash, the Weibull distribution law is satisfied, and the diameter, speed, direction, etc. of the particles will change. For the diameter of the particles, it can be obtained through the cumulative distribution function. According to the conservation of mass, etc., the number and proportion of the bounced and splashed particles can be obtained. The number of splashed paint mist particles in each paint mist particle package is equal to the total number of paint mist particles multiplied by the probability distribution function corresponding to the diameter of the paint mist particles. After obtaining the number of splashed particles, the splashing speed of the particles can be determined. While meeting the Mundo experimental data, the Weibull distribution function can be used as the probability distribution function of the normal speed of the splashed particles. After listing the energy balance equation of the paint mist particles and making corrections, the normal and tangential velocities of the paint mist particles can be obtained. Step three, for the recovery of the bounced paint mist particles, the model uses the Euler-Lagrange method to describe the motion of the gas phase and the paint mist particles using the continuous phase and the particle phase respectively. The Euler model is established for the gas density and gas velocity field of the gas continuous phase. For the gas continuous phase, the continuity equation, Navier-Stokes equation, and energy equation are used. For the paint mist particle phase, the particle motion equation is used to establish the model considering the thermal effect. Step four, for the motion simulation of the paint mist particles, the RK4 method is used to calculate the particle trajectory based on the force and initial velocity of the particles. Specifically, at time step n, the total force of the particles is calculated, and the velocity and position of the particles are further updated. The motion of the particles is simulated to predict the landing point of the paint mist particles. The number of particles extracted on the recovery boundary is detected. When the number of boundary particles meets the requirements, it is considered that the negative pressure at this time meets the recovery requirements. If the number of particles is insufficient, the negative pressure is modified, and the model is re-run from step four until the recovery particle ratio meets the expectation. The recovery negative pressure of the particles can be obtained.

[0008] In further embodiments, the step three comprises: for the gas phase, the continuity equation is: ; wherein, is the partial derivative symbol, is the mass density of the gas, is the time, is the divergence operator, is the velocity vector.
[0009] The Navier-Stokes equation is: ; wherein, is the heat exchange between the particles and the gas.

[0011] Considering the thermal effect, the temperature change of the paint mist particle is: ; wherein, is the particle temperature, is the heat exchange between the particle and the gas.
[0012] In a further embodiment, the step five comprises: The combined velocity of the normal velocity and the tangential velocity after the rebound of the splash is taken as the initial velocity, the RK4 method is used to calculate the particle trajectory, specifically, at the time step n, the combined force of the particle is calculated, and the velocity and position of the particle are further updated, that is, the motion trajectory of the particle can be simulated and calculated, and the landing position of the particle can be obtained.
[0013] The particle velocity is calculated: ; The particle position is calculated: ; wherein, is the velocity of the particle at the n step, is the position of the particle at the n step, is an intermediate calculation variable.
[0014] The proportion of the particle number of the recovery boundary in the total particle number, that is, the paint mist particle recovery rate, is calculated, and when the recovery rate is higher than the expected value, it is considered that the paint mist particles are successfully recovered under the negative pressure.
[0015] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial effects: 1. This prediction method combines multi-physics coupled particle motion equations with a dynamic negative pressure optimization mechanism to achieve efficient and precise control of the paint mist recovery system. In particle trajectory modeling, the model comprehensively considers multiple forces such as drag, gravity, Brownian force, negative pressure, and heat exchange effects. The RK4 (fourth-order Runge-Kutta) method is used to perform high-precision numerical solutions for particle trajectories, ensuring the reliability of motion prediction under complex force fields. Simultaneously, based on a real-time feedback mechanism for the recovery rate, the negative pressure efficiency is dynamically evaluated by calculating the proportion of captured particles at the boundary. If the expected efficiency is not met, the negative pressure parameters are automatically iteratively adjusted and the simulation is re-enhanced until the recovery rate requirement is met. This design deeply integrates high-precision trajectory simulation with parameter self-optimization, improving the accuracy of paint mist particle recovery trajectory prediction and achieving intelligent dynamic adaptation of negative pressure parameters, providing a closed-loop solution for efficiency optimization of the paint mist recovery system for marine painting robots.
