[0044] In order to make the technical problems solved by the present application, the technical solutions adopted and the technical effects reached more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0046] In the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the first feature "on" or "under" the second feature can include that the first feature and the second feature are in direct contact, or that the first feature and the second feature are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them.

In addition, if the terms "first", "second" and the like appear, they are only used to distinguish in the description, and have no special meaning.
[0048] The conventional spray gun is connected with a manipulator, and the spray gun is controlled by a controller to spray paint on a surface to be painted along a pre-planned path. However, for a ship outer plate, generally a curved surface structure, the curved surfaces of each ship type are inconsistent and vary greatly, and there are only a few ships for each ship type, so it is impossible to complete the paint spraying by pre-planning the path. When the paint spraying is performed by the conventional method, the distance between the spray gun and the curved surface cannot be kept constant and perpendicular, resulting in uneven paint spraying thickness and poor paint spraying effect. Therefore, the present embodiment designs a paint spraying manipulator for a ship outer plate with a curved surface structure.
[0049] As shown in Figures 1 to 9 The paint spraying manipulator of the present embodiment is used for paint spraying on a ship outer plate (not shown in the figure) with a curved surface structure. The paint spraying manipulator comprises a multi-axis manipulator 100, a spray gun 200, a gas collecting hood 300, a filtering structure 400, a distance measuring structure 500 and a controller (not shown in the figure). The multi-axis manipulator 100 is drivingly connected with the spray gun 200 and the gas collecting hood 300. The spray gun 200 is arranged through a bottom plate 310 of the gas collecting hood 300 and extends into the hood of the gas collecting hood 300, and the spray gun 200 is opposite to the hood opening of the gas collecting hood 300. The filtering structure 400 comprises a filtering box 410 and a conduit 420. The filtering box 410 is connected with the gas collecting hood 300 through the conduit 420 for collecting paint mist. The filtering box 410 is connected with an external negative pressure device. The distance measuring structure 500 is installed on the gas collecting hood 300 for real-time detection of the distance between the spray gun 200 and the ship outer plate. The multi-axis manipulator 100, the spray gun 200 and the distance measuring structure 500 are connected with the controller. The controller can control the multi-axis manipulator 100 to drive the spray gun 200 to move along the length or height direction of the ship outer plate for paint spraying, and make the spray gun 200 always perpendicular to the ship outer plate during the paint spraying process and keep the distance between the spray gun 200 and the ship outer plate at a set value.
[0050] In the present embodiment, the paint spraying manipulator is installed on a lifting device. The present application selects a high-altitude vehicle to be connected with the paint spraying manipulator, of course, other devices that can perform up and down operation such as elevators, lifting platforms and the like are not excluded.
[0051] The ship outer plate of the embodiment has a curved surface, that is, is not completely flat. The length of the ship outer plate is along the X direction in the figure, the height of the ship outer plate is along the Z direction in the figure, and the spray gun 200 always maintains a constant distance (a set value) with the ship outer plate in the Y axis direction. In order to optimize the paint spraying effect, the embodiment connects the multi-axis robot 100, the distance measuring structure 500, the spray gun 200 and the controller. The controller can control the multi-axis robot 100 to drive the spray gun 200 to move and spray paint along the length or height direction of the ship outer plate. After the distance measuring structure 500 detects the distance between the spray gun 200 and the ship outer plate in real time, the controller controls the multi-axis robot 100 to work according to the distance, so that the spray gun 200 always vertically faces the ship outer plate and the distance between the spray gun 200 and the ship outer plate is kept at a set value during the paint spraying process.
[0052] Specifically, the embodiment makes the spray gun 200 of the paint spraying robot be at the starting point of the area to be sprayed by the lifting device, and then adjusts the position of the spray gun 200 by the multi-axis robot 100 to move the spray gun 200 to spray paint along the X direction. After completing the paint spraying work of the ship outer plate along the full stroke of the X axis of the multi-axis robot 100, the spray gun 200 is driven by the multi-axis robot 100 to be at another height, and the spray gun 200 is continuously driven by the multi-axis robot 100 to move and spray paint along the X direction. This is repeated until the full stroke of the Z axis of the multi-axis robot 100. Then the controller controls the lifting device to move to the starting point of the area to be sprayed at another height position of the ship outer plate, and repeats the above operation until the paint spraying work of the specified height and length area of the ship outer plate is completed. Finally, the controller controls the lifting device to move to the starting point of the area to be sprayed at another specified length and height of the ship outer plate, and repeats the above operation until the paint spraying work of the entire ship outer plate is completed. The controller of the embodiment can drive the multi-axis robot 100 to make the spray gun 200 always vertically face the ship outer plate and keep the distance between the spray gun 200 and the ship outer plate constant with the assistance of the distance measuring structure 500. The paint spraying robot of the embodiment can realize omnidirectional automatic paint spraying work of the ship outer plate with a non-completely flat surface, effectively improve the paint spraying quality and efficiency, and reduce labor costs. The embodiment can automatically collect paint mist generated during the paint spraying process by the filtering structure 400, and realize automatic pollution removal during the paint spraying work.
[0053] The distance measuring structure 500 in the embodiment actually detects the distance between the detection end of the distance measuring structure 500 and the ship outer plate. The distance between the detection end of the distance measuring structure 500 and the spray gun 200 (the nozzle end of the spray gun 200) can indirectly obtain the distance between the spray gun 200 and the ship outer plate.
[0054] In the embodiment, the paint mist generated during the paint spraying work is filtered by the filter box 410, which can prevent the paint mist from blocking the paint spraying waste gas conveying pipeline (an external negative pressure device such as an air extractor is connected with the filter box 410 through the paint spraying waste gas conveying pipeline).
[0055] Further, the filter box 410 of the embodiment comprises a box body 411, first filter cottons 412, a support plate 413 and a driving member 414. The support plate 413 is provided with a plurality of through holes, all of which are uniformly distributed along the circumference of the support plate 413, and each of the through holes is provided with a first filter cotton 412. The driving member 414 is installed outside the box body 411 and is in driving connection with the support plate 413. The box body 411 is in a cylindrical structure, and one side of the box body 411 along the axial direction is provided with a first interface connected with the conduit 420, and the other side of the box body 411 along the axial direction is connected with an external negative pressure equipment, and the support plate 413 is adjacent to the first interface. The driving member 414 is connected with a controller, and the controller can drive the driving member 414 to rotate by a certain angle every certain time, so that one of the first filter cottons 412 is opposite to the first interface.
[0056] It can be understood that, since the support plate 413 is adjacent to the first interface, when the driving member 414 drives the support plate 413 to rotate, one of the first filter cottons 412 installed on the support plate 413 is opposite to the first interface. When the external negative pressure equipment connected with the box body 411 is started to work, the paint mist generated in the paint spraying process enters the box body 411 through the conduit 420, is filtered by the first filter cotton 412 opposite to the first interface, and is then collected and treated. When the first filter cotton 412 is used for a certain period of time, the driving member 414 drives the support plate 413 to rotate, so that another first filter cotton 412 adjacent to the first filter cotton 412 is opposite to the first interface. When all the first filter cottons 412 are used, all the first filter cottons 412 are replaced at one time.
[0057] For example, the number of the first filter cottons 412 is six, and the driving member 414 drives the support plate 413 to rotate by 60°, so that one of the first filter cottons 412 is opposite to the first interface. The specific interval time can be 1-3h, for example, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 2.5h, 3h, etc., and is specifically determined according to the type of paint.
[0058] In order to facilitate the replacement of the first filter cottons 412, the box body 411 of the embodiment is designed as a detachable split structure, that is, the box body 411 comprises a box body 4111 and a cover body 4112, and the cover body 4112 is clamped and fixed with the box body 4111. The first interface is arranged at the bottom of the groove opposite to the cover body 4112 of the box body 4111, and the external negative pressure equipment is connected with the cover body 4112.
[0059] The driving member 414 in the embodiment is a motor, which is installed on the side of the box body 4111 away from the cover body 4112, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected with the support plate 413 through the box body 4111, so that the support plate 413 can be driven to rotate by the motor.
[0060] In the embodiment, the gas collecting hood 300 comprises a bottom plate 310, two oppositely arranged first side plates 320 and two oppositely arranged second side plates 330, the first side plates 320 and the second side plates 330 are arranged around the edges of the bottom plate 310 to form a conical structure, the two first side plates 320 are respectively located at the two edges of the bottom plate 310 along the width direction thereof; the number of the spray guns 200 is two, the two spray guns 200 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the bottom plate 310; one second interface is formed on each of the two first side plates 320, and the end of the conduit 420 away from the filter box 410 is connected with the second interface; the filter structure 400 further comprises second filter cottons 430, and one second filter cotton 430 is installed at each second interface.
[0061] In the embodiment, the gas collecting hood 300 is designed as a conical structure, and two spray guns 200 are arranged on the bottom plate 310 of the gas collecting hood 300, so that the paint spraying efficiency can be improved. The second filter cotton 430 is arranged at the second interface, so that the paint mist can be preliminarily filtered and then further filtered by the filter box 410, thereby improving the paint mist filtering effect.

[0077] S10, placing the paint spraying manipulator on the lifting device and adjusting the height of the paint spraying manipulator through the lifting device, so that the spray gun 200 is located at the edge of a certain paint spraying area of the ship outer plate;
[0078] S20, controlling the multi-axis manipulator 100 to adjust the position of the spray gun 200 relative to the ship outer plate according to the distance between the spray gun 200 and the ship outer plate detected by the distance measuring structure 500, so that the spray gun 200 is perpendicular to the ship outer plate and the distance between the spray gun 200 and the ship outer plate is kept at a set value;
[0079] S30, controlling the multi-axis manipulator 100 to drive the spray gun 200 to move in the X direction, so that the spray gun 200 performs paint spraying operation on the ship outer plate in the moving process, and at the same time, the external negative pressure device is started to collect paint mist and the paint mist is filtered through the filtering structure 400, until the paint spraying operation on the ship outer plate within the X direction stroke range of the multi-axis manipulator 100 is completed;
