Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of grinding apparatus technology, and particularly to a grinding apparatus and electrophoresis equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive painting workshop, the car body is mounted on an electrophoresis fixture. Approximately 600A of current is output through electrode tubes on both sides of the electrophoresis tank. This current flows through the paint, the car body, the electrophoresis fixture, and finally to the current collector, forming a continuous circuit. This allows the electrophoretic paint to adhere better to the car body, forming the first layer of anti-rust paint. During this process, the current collector must remain stably attached to ensure a stable current flow.

[0003] In the actual electrophoresis process, the presence of water vapor in the electrophoresis process environment can cause dirt to accumulate on the contact surface of the current collector. Furthermore, the electrophoresis fixture in the water tank will be impacted by the water flow, causing it to shake and resulting in wear on the contact surface of the current collector. If this is not addressed in time, it will be difficult for the current collector to remain stable during the energization process. The dirt and wear on the contact surface of the current collector will generate electric arcs and sparks, affecting the stability of the current.

[0004] In the existing technology, the treatment of dirt and wear on the contact surface of the current collector is carried out by manual hand-held polishing equipment on a regular basis. In order to improve the efficiency of electrophoresis, multiple electrophoresis girders are used to transport the car body in sequence, which requires polishing multiple current collectors. This results in low polishing efficiency and safety risks associated with manual polishing.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new grinding apparatus and electrophoresis equipment to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide a grinding device and an electrophoresis equipment, which aims to improve the technical problems of low grinding efficiency and safety risks of current collectors in the prior art.

The cleaning and grinding machine is signal-connected to the PLC controller.

[0019] In one embodiment, the water storage component further includes an electric control valve and a manual regulating valve, both of which are disposed on the connecting pipe. The electric control valve is signal-connected to the sensor controller, the manual regulating valve is used to control the water flow rate of the connecting pipe, and the electric control valve is used to control the opening and closing of the water flow rate of the connecting pipe.

[0020] In one embodiment, the grinding device further includes a T-shaped seat and a hinge seat. The T-shaped seat includes a first base plate and a first connecting plate connected to each other. The first base plate is mounted on the sliding plate. The driving component is a driving cylinder. The extension shaft of the driving cylinder forms a first groove. A first rotating shaft is disposed in the first groove. The first connecting plate forms a first rotating hole. The first rotating shaft is rotatably mounted in the first rotating hole. The hinge seat includes a second base plate and a second connecting plate connected to each other. The second base plate is mounted on the mounting plate.

[0021] In one embodiment, the water storage component further includes a built-in level gauge, a visual level gauge, and a water filling valve. The built-in level gauge is disposed inside the water tank and is used to detect the water level in the water tank. The water tank is connected to an external water source through the water filling valve. The built-in level gauge is signal-connected to the water filling valve through the PLC controller. The visual level gauge is disposed outside the water tank.

[0022] According to another aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides an electrophoresis apparatus, including a track, an electrophoresis holder and the above-described grinding device, wherein a current collector is provided on the electrophoresis holder, the electrophoresis holder slides along the track, and the grinding disc is capable of being attached to or separated from the current collector.

[0023] In the above scheme, the grinding device is used to grind the current collector plate of the electrophoresis apparatus. The grinding device includes a frame, a drive component, a grinding component, a water receiving tray, a drain pipe, and a water storage component. The frame includes a mounting plate. The cylinder of the drive component is mounted on the mounting plate. The grinding component includes a water-based grinder. The extension shaft of the drive component is connected to the grinding component. The extension shaft of the drive component can extend or retract to drive the grinding disc of the water-based grinder to fit or separate from the current collector plate.

The two ends of the connecting pipe are connected to the water tank and the water-based grinder, respectively. Specifically, the cylinder of the drive unit is mounted on the mounting plate, and then the extension shaft of the drive unit is connected to the grinding unit. A water tank is then installed on top of the frame, placing it above the grinding unit, which is above the water-based grinder. A water receiving tray is installed at the bottom of the grinding unit and connected to the frame. The water tank and the water-based grinder are then connected via a connecting pipe, thus completing the assembly of the grinding device. When grinding is required, the electrophoresis fixture moves along the track until the current collector aligns with the grinding device. Then, the drive unit is activated, and its extension shaft extends, causing the grinding disc of the water-based grinder to abut against the current collector. The water tank is located above the water-based grinder. The height difference allows water from the tank to flow into the grinder through a connecting pipe. The grinder is then started and begins operation, removing dirt or smoothing wear on the current collector plate. Wastewater is generated during operation and falls into a collection tray, then drains through the tray's drain hole into a drain pipe for centralized treatment. After grinding is complete, the grinder is shut off, and the extension shaft of the drive component retracts, separating the grinding disc from the current collector plate and preventing interference between the grinder and the electrophoresis apparatus. This invention allows for grinding of the current collector plate simply by moving the electrophoresis apparatus to the grinding device. The grinding component extends automatically via the drive component, significantly improving grinding efficiency. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for operators to climb to a height for manual grinding, ensuring operator safety and eliminating safety risks associated with current collector plate grinding.

[0036] To achieve the above objectives, please refer to Figures 1 to 5This invention proposes a grinding device 100 for grinding the current collector plate of an electrophoresis apparatus. The grinding device 100 includes a frame 1, a driving component 2, a grinding component 3, a water receiving tray 4, a drain pipe 5, and a water storage component 6. The frame 1 includes a mounting plate 11, and the cylinder of the driving component 2 is mounted on the mounting plate 11. The grinding component 3 includes a water-based grinding mill 31. The extension shaft of the driving component 2 is connected to the grinding component 3, and the extension shaft of the driving component 2 can extend or retract to drive the grinding process. The grinding disc of the water-based grinder 31 is attached to or separated from the current collector plate. The water receiving tray 4 is connected to the frame 1 and is located at the bottom of the water-based grinder 31. The water receiving tray 4 has a drain hole 41. The drain pipe 5 is connected to the water receiving tray 4 through the drain hole 41. The water storage component 6 includes a water tank 61 and a connecting pipe 62. The water tank 61 is installed on the top of the frame 1 and is located on the top of the water-based grinder 31. The two ends of the connecting pipe 62 are connected to the water tank 61 and the water-based grinder 31, respectively. Specifically, the cylinder of the drive component 2 is mounted on the mounting plate 11, and the extension shaft of the drive component 2 is connected to the grinding component 3. A water tank 61 is then installed on the top of the frame 1, placing it above the grinding component 3, which is above the water-based grinder 31. A water receiving tray 4 is installed at the bottom of the grinding component 3 and connected to the frame 1. The water tank 61 and the water-based grinder 31 are then connected via a connecting pipe 62, thus completing the assembly of the grinding device 100. When grinding is required, the electrophoresis fixture moves along the track until the current collector aligns with the grinding device 100. Then, the drive component 2 is activated, and its extension shaft extends, causing the grinding disc of the water-based grinder 31 to contact the current collector. Since the water tank 61 is located above the water-based grinder 31, the water in the water tank 61 flows into the water-based grinder 31 through the connecting pipe 62 due to the height difference. Then, the water-based grinder 31 is started, and it can start working. The water-based grinder 31 grinds away dirt on the collector plate or smooths out the wear on the collector plate. During the operation of the water-based grinder 31, wastewater will be generated. This wastewater will fall into the water receiving tray 4 and then enter the drain pipe 5 through the drain hole 41 of the water receiving tray 4. Finally, it is collected and treated. After grinding is completed, the water-based grinder 31 is turned off, and the extension shaft of the drive component 2 is retracted, so that the grinding disc of the water-based grinder 31 is separated from the collector plate, preventing the water-based grinder 31 from interfering with the electrophoresis apparatus. In this embodiment, when the current collector needs to be polished, it is only necessary to drive the electrophoresis clamp to move to the polishing device 100 and drive the polishing device 100 to extend for polishing. The polishing component 3 can extend automatically through the driving component 2, which greatly improves the polishing efficiency. At the same time, it eliminates the need for operators to climb to a high place to manually polish, thus ensuring the safety of operators and eliminating the safety risks of current collector polishing operations.

[0037] Please see Figure 3In one embodiment, the grinding apparatus 100 further includes a control component 7, which includes a vision sensor head 71, a sensor controller 72, and a PLC controller 73. The vision sensor head 71 is used to detect the status of the current collector. The sensor controller 72 is connected to the vision sensor head 71 and the PLC controller 73 respectively. The PLC controller 73 is connected to the water-based grinding machine 31 and the drive component 2 respectively. When the electrophoresis apparatus moves along the track until the collector plate aligns with the grinding device 100, the visual sensor 71 collects the state of the collector plate, either by taking a picture or by infrared recognition, detecting unevenness. The visual sensor 71 then transmits the collected information to the sensor controller 72. The sensor controller 72 compares the collected information with the preset normal state information of the collector plate. If they match, it indicates that the collector plate is free of wear or dirt; if they differ, it indicates wear or dirt. At this point, the sensor controller 72 transmits a signal to the PLC controller 73, which drives the extension shaft of the drive component 2 to extend, causing the grinding disc of the water-based grinding machine 31 to come into contact with the collector plate. Since the water tank 61 is located above the water-based grinding machine 31, the height difference causes water in the water tank 61 to flow into the water-based grinding machine 31 through the connecting pipe 62. The water-based grinding machine 31 is then started, and it begins operation, grinding the collector plate... During the operation of the water-based grinder 31, wastewater is generated to remove dirt or smooth out wear on the collector plate. This wastewater falls into the water collection tray 4 and then enters the drain pipe 5 through the drain hole 41 of the water collection tray 4. Finally, it is collected and processed. After the vision sensor head 71 detects that the collector plate is flat or free of dirt, the vision sensor head 71 transmits a signal to the induction controller 72. The induction controller 72 then transmits a signal to the PLC controller 73 to indicate that the grinding is complete. The PLC controller 73 controls the water-based grinder 31 to shut down and controls the extension shaft of the drive component 2 to retract, so that the grinding disc of the water-based grinder 31 is separated from the collector plate, preventing the water-based grinder 31 from interfering with the electrophoresis fixture. In this embodiment, the vision sensor head 71 automatically identifies the state of the collector plate and automatically controls the drive cylinder and the water-based grinder 31. In this way, the whole process does not require manual operation, further improving the grinding efficiency and further avoiding safety risks to operators.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the frame 1 further includes a top plate 12, on which a slider assembly 121 is formed. The grinding component 3 further includes a sliding plate 32, on which a slide rail 321 is formed along the extension direction of the extension shaft of the driving component 2. The water-based grinding machine 31 is connected to the sliding plate 32, and the slider assembly 121 is slidably connected to the slide rail 321. The extension shaft of the driving component 2 is connected to the sliding plate 32. After connecting the extension shaft of the driving component 2 to the grinding component 3, the water-based grinding machine 31 is then connected to the sliding plate 32. The slide rail 321 on the sliding plate 32 is aligned with the slider assembly 121 on the top plate 12, and the slider assembly 121 is slidably connected to the slide rail 321. When grinding is required, the electrophoresis apparatus moves along the track until the current collector is aligned with the grinding device 100, and then the driving component 2 is activated. The extension shaft of the driving component 2 extends. Since the extension shaft of the driving component 2 is connected to the sliding plate 32, this pushes the sliding plate 32 to extend, while the top plate 12 remains stationary. The slider assembly 121 will slide along the slide rail 321 in the opposite direction to the extension direction of the extension shaft of the drive component 2, so that the grinding disc of the water-based grinder 31 abuts against the current collector plate, and the water-based grinder 31 is started to grind away the dirt on the current collector plate or smooth out the wear on the current collector plate. In this embodiment, by setting the slider assembly 121 and the slide rail 321 to slide together, it is equivalent to playing a guiding role, ensuring that the water-based grinder 31 can extend along the length direction of the slide rail 321, that is, the extension direction of the extension shaft of the drive component 2, and preventing deviation.

[0039] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 Furthermore, the grinding component 3 also includes a first mounting bracket 33, a clamp 39, and fasteners. The first mounting bracket 33 includes a first fixing plate 331 and a second fixing plate 332. The first fixing plate 331 and the second fixing plate 332 are spaced apart on the sliding plate 32 along the extension direction perpendicular to the extension axis of the driving component 2. The first fixing plate 331 has a fixing hole 331a, through which the clamping member passes and is mounted on the water-based grinding machine 31. The second fixing plate 332 has two fasteners arranged vertically. The first oblong holes 332a are spaced apart. The clamp 39 is a common locking structure. Generally, the clamp 39 includes an arc segment 391 and straight threaded segments 392 at both ends of the arc segment 391. The arc segment 391 is engaged with the water-based grinder 31, and the two straight threaded segments 392 are locked in the two first oblong holes 332a respectively, so that the water-based grinder 31 abuts against the second fixing plate 332, thus fixing the water-based grinder 31 and preventing it from shaking or falling during operation. By setting the first fixing plate 331 and the second fixing plate 332 to be connected to both ends of the water-based grinder 31 respectively, the water-based grinder 31 can be further fixed to prevent it from falling. At the same time, the first oblong holes 332a allow the first mounting bracket 33 to adapt to water-based grinders 31 of various sizes, improving its adaptability.

[0040] Furthermore, there are two clamps 39 and four first waist-shaped holes 332a. The four first waist-shaped holes 332a are arranged in a rectangle. One clamp 39 corresponds to two first waist-shaped holes 332a that are spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the other clamp 39 corresponds to the other two first waist-shaped holes 332a that are spaced apart in the vertical direction. This further fixes the water-based grinding machine 31.

[0041] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the slider assembly 121 includes a plurality of sub-sliders 121a spaced apart along the extension direction of the extension axis of the drive component 2. The multiple sub-sliders 121a are distributed at intervals along the direction of movement, effectively increasing the number of guide fulcrums. This more effectively constrains the movement trajectory of the sliding plate 32, significantly reducing its swaying, tilting, or torsion during extension and retraction, ensuring that the sliding plate 32 moves smoothly and strictly along the axial direction of the drive shaft, thereby improving the straightness and repeatability of the grinding action. Distributing the support and guiding functions across multiple sub-sliders 121a avoids stress concentration at a single point. The reduced local pressure and friction on each sub-slider 121a helps extend the overall service life of the slider assembly 121 and the slide rail 321, and maintains smooth operation over long periods.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, there are multiple slide rails 321, spaced apart along the extension direction perpendicular to the extension shaft of the drive component 2. There are also multiple slider groups 121, the number of which is equal to the number of slide rails 321, and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. By providing multiple slide rails 321 and corresponding slider groups 121, the structural rigidity of the entire system is significantly enhanced. Particularly in the horizontal direction, i.e., perpendicular to the extension shaft of the drive component 2, it can better resist lateral forces and bending moments, reducing the risk of deformation or damage due to off-center loading. The multi-slide rail system 321 provides more precise guidance, ensuring that the sliding plate 32 not only moves stably in the extension direction of the drive shaft but also maintains precise positioning in a plane perpendicular to this direction. This helps maintain a constant angle and pressure between the grinding head and the workpiece surface, improving processing quality.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 5In one embodiment, the grinding device 100 further includes a cleaning and grinding machine 34, which is mounted on the sliding plate 32. The cleaning and grinding machine 34 is used to communicate with an external air supply device. The cleaning disc of the cleaning and grinding machine 34 is used to contact the current collector plate to clean the current collector plate. The cleaning and grinding machine 34 is connected to the PLC controller 73 via signal. When grinding is required, the electrophoresis clamp moves along the track until the collector plate is aligned with the grinding device 100. Then, the drive component 2 is activated, and the extension shaft of the drive component 2 extends, driving the sliding plate 32 to extend, so that the grinding disc of the water-based grinder 31 comes into contact with the collector plate. Since the water tank 61 is located above the water-based grinder 31, the difference in height allows water in the water tank 61 to flow into the water-based grinder 31 through the connecting pipe 62. Then, the water-based grinder 31 is started, and it can then work. The water-based grinder 31 grinds away dirt on the collector plate or smooths out wear on the collector plate. During the operation of the water-based grinder 31, wastewater is generated. This wastewater falls into the water receiving tray 4 and then enters the water from the drain hole 41 of the water receiving tray 4. Drain pipe 5 collects and processes the waste. After the preset grinding time, the extension shaft of drive component 2 retracts, causing the sliding plate 32 to retract. Then, the electrophoresis gripper continues to advance a short distance, and the extension shaft of drive component 2 extends again, causing the sliding plate 32 to extend, so that the cleaning disc of the cleaning and grinding machine 34 contacts the collector plate. At the same time, the cleaning disc starts to rotate, cleaning the contact surface of the collector plate after grinding. After cleaning, the cleaning disc stops rotating, and the extension shaft of drive component 2 retracts, causing the sliding plate 32 to retract, and the cleaning and grinding machine 34 returns to the standby state. In this embodiment, by setting the cleaning and grinding machine 34 to perform secondary cleaning, the dust or impurities left on the collector plate during the grinding of the water-based grinding machine 31 are cleaned, further ensuring that the contact surface of the collector plate is free of dirt.

[0044] Please see Figure 5Furthermore, the grinding component 3 also includes a second mounting bracket 35, a third mounting bracket 36, a first locking member, and a second locking member. The second mounting bracket 35 includes a third fixing plate 351 and a fourth fixing plate 352 that are perpendicularly connected to each other. The third fixing plate 351 is connected to the sliding plate 32. The fourth fixing plate 352 has a second oblong hole 352a formed on it. The third mounting bracket 36 includes a fifth fixing plate 361 and a sixth fixing plate 362. The fifth fixing plate 361 has a third oblong hole 361a, and both the second oblong hole 352a and the third oblong hole 361a are vertically oriented. The first locking member passes through the second oblong hole 352a and is installed in the third oblong hole 361a. The sixth fixing plate 362 has a fourth oblong hole 362a, which is horizontally oriented. The second locking member passes through the third oblong hole 361a and is installed in the cleaning and grinding machine 34. By setting the second oblong hole 352a and the third oblong hole 361a, the relative vertical position of the cleaning and grinding machine 34 can be adjusted. By setting the fourth oblong hole 362a, the relative horizontal position of the cleaning and grinding machine 34 can be adjusted. This ensures that the cleaning and grinding machine 34 can clean the collector plate and prevents it from running empty.

[0045] A water-based grinding machine 31 is a device specifically designed for surface treatment of materials in humid environments, typically using water or a water-based coolant to assist the grinding process. Water or a water-based coolant effectively reduces the temperature of the workpiece and grinding tools during grinding, preventing overheating that could lead to workpiece deformation, surface burning, or rapid wear of the grinding tools. Water or a water-based coolant also acts as a lubricant, reducing grinding resistance and improving processing efficiency.

[0046] The cleaning and grinding machine 34 combines grinding and cleaning functions. It can be used as a grinding tool to remove old coatings and repair concrete surfaces, as well as as a cleaning device to remove dust and small debris. It is also equipped with a high-efficiency dust collection device that collects dust and debris generated during operation, reducing environmental pollution and protecting the health of operators.

[0047] In one embodiment, the water storage component 6 further includes an electric control valve and a manual regulating valve. Both the electric control valve and the manual regulating valve are disposed on the connecting pipe 62. The electric control valve is signal-connected to the sensor controller 72. The manual regulating valve is used to control the water flow rate of the connecting pipe 62, and the electric control valve is used to control the opening and closing of the water flow rate of the connecting pipe 62. The visual sensor 71 collects the status of the collector plate and transmits the collected information to the sensor controller 72. The sensor controller 72 compares the collected information with the preset normal status information of the collector plate. If they are the same, it means that the collector plate is not worn or dirty. If they are different, it means that there is wear or dirt. At this time, the sensor controller 72 transmits a signal to the electric control valve, which opens the electric control valve and connects the connecting pipe 62. Water in the water tank 61 flows into the water-based grinder 31 through the connecting pipe 62 to supply water to the water-based grinder 31. When the visual sensor 71 detects that there is no wear or dirt on the collector plate, it transmits a signal to the sensor controller 72. The sensor controller 72 transmits a signal to the electric control valve, which closes the electric control valve. This cuts off the connecting pipe 62, preventing water in the water tank 61 from entering the water-based grinder 31 and ensuring that water is not wasted. By setting a manual regulating valve, the operator can manually adjust the water flow to ensure the normal operation of the water-based grinder 31.

[0048] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the grinding device 100 further includes a T-shaped seat and a hinge seat 38. The T-shaped seat includes a first base plate 371 and a first connecting plate 372 connected to each other. The first base plate 371 is mounted on the sliding plate 32. The driving component 2 is a driving cylinder. The extension shaft of the driving cylinder forms a first groove 21. A first rotating shaft 211 is disposed in the first groove 21. The first connecting plate 372 forms a first rotating hole. The first rotating shaft 211 is rotatably mounted in the first rotating hole. The hinge seat 38 includes a second base plate 381 and a second connecting plate 382 connected to each other. The second base plate 381 is mounted on the mounting plate 11. The cylinder body of the driving cylinder forms a second groove 22. A second rotating shaft 221 is disposed in the second groove 22. The second connecting plate 382 forms a second rotating hole. The second rotating shaft 221 is rotatably mounted in the second rotating hole. The cylinder body of the drive cylinder is hinged to the hinge seat 38, the hinge seat 38 is connected to the mounting plate 11 of the frame 1, and the extension shaft of the drive cylinder is hinged to the T-shaped seat, which is connected to the sliding plate 32. In this way, when disassembling the drive cylinder, the top plate 12 is disassembled first. At this time, the slide rail 321 and the slider group 121 will separate. The sliding plate 32 can be lifted vertically by hand, so that the extension shaft and cylinder body of the drive cylinder can rotate. This expands the operating space and facilitates the disassembly of the drive cylinder.

[0049] In one embodiment, the water storage component 6 further includes a built-in level gauge, a visual level gauge, and a water inlet valve. The built-in level gauge is located inside the water tank 61 and is used to detect the water level in the water tank 61. The water tank 61 is connected to an external water source through the water inlet valve. The built-in level gauge is connected to the water inlet valve via a PLC controller. The visual level gauge is located outside the water tank 61. When the built-in level gauge detects that the water level in the water tank 61 is lower than a preset height, the built-in level gauge transmits a signal to the PLC controller. The PLC controller controls the water inlet valve to start, connecting the external water source and the water tank 61, allowing the external water source to supply water to the water tank 61. When the water level is equal to or higher than the preset height, the built-in level gauge transmits a signal to the PLC controller. The PLC controller controls the water inlet valve to close, and the external water source stops supplying water to the water tank 61. At the same time, a visual level gauge is installed outside the water tank 61, so that operators can observe the water level in the water tank 61 in real time to ensure that the water tank 61 does not run out of water.

[0050] According to another aspect of the present invention, an electrophoresis apparatus is also provided, comprising a track, an electrophoresis gripper, and the aforementioned grinding device 100. A current collector is provided on the electrophoresis gripper, which slides along the track. The grinding disc can be attached to or detached from the current collector. When grinding is required, the electrophoresis gripper moves along the track until the current collector aligns with the grinding device 100. Then, the drive component 2 is activated, and its extension shaft extends, causing the grinding disc of the water-based grinder 31 to abut against the current collector. Since the water tank 61 is located above the water-based grinder 31, the height difference allows water from the water tank 61 to flow into the water-based grinder 31 through the connecting pipe 62. The water-based grinder 31 is then activated, allowing it to operate. The water-based grinder 31 removes dirt from the current collector or smooths out wear on the current collector. 1. Wastewater is generated during operation. This wastewater falls into the water receiving tray 4 and then enters the drain pipe 5 through the drain hole 41 of the water receiving tray 4. Finally, it is collected and treated. After grinding is completed, the water-based grinder 31 is turned off and the extension shaft of the drive component 2 is retracted, so that the grinding disc of the water-based grinder 31 is separated from the current collector plate, preventing the water-based grinder 31 from interfering with the electrophoresis apparatus. Since the electrophoresis equipment includes all the embodiments of the above-mentioned grinding device 100, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by all the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0051] The above are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
