[0018] The direction of movement of the hoisting component is defined as front and back; As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 The hoisting device for automatic spraying of the valve, as shown in the drawings, has a support frame 10 passing through an assembly area and a spraying area, a hoisting component driven to move on the support frame 10, and a clamping component 30 installed at the lower end of the hoisting component. The hoisting component comprises: The support rod 71 has an upper end driven to move along the support frame 10; The boom 20 is rotatably installed at the lower end of the support rod 71 and has a gear 52 fixed at the lower part; The pressing plate 42 is movably sleeved on the boom 20 and is acted on the end surface of the boom 20 by the downward elastic force; The clamping component 30 is used for clamping and fixing the inlet and outlet ends of the valve; The support frame 10 in the assembly area and the spraying area is provided with a lifting track 41, and the support frame 10 in the spraying area is further provided with a rack 51 engaged with the gear 52; The front and rear sides of the lifting track 41 are smoothly connected with the middle part, and the length of the middle part is greater than the length of the rack 51, and the front and rear sides of the lifting track 41 correspondingly exceed the front and rear sides of the rack 51; the lifting track 41 can support the pressing plate 42 and make the pressing plate 42 lift up to separate from the boom 20; Under the action of the rack 51, the gear 52 rotates at least one round; Specifically, the production line can be divided into an assembly area, a defecation and drying area, a spraying area, a drying area and the like according to the process flow, the support frame 10 can pass through each area, and the support frame 10 is internally provided with a guide rail for the hoisting component to move; The hoisting component is multiple, and the multiple hoisting components are moved by the moving assembly 70; the moving assembly 70 can be a transmission chain in which the hoisting components are connected together, that is, the upper end of the support rod 71 is provided with a moving wheel matched with the guide rail, the transmission chain is sequentially connected with the support rod 71, and a driving component is additionally arranged at a suitable position to pull the transmission chain; The boom 20 is rotatably installed on the support rod 71 by a bearing, the bearing is a conical roller bearing for axial heavy load; the gear 52 can be fixed on the boom 20 by means of bolts, welding and the like; the pressing plate 42 is located above the boom 20 and is acted on the upper end surface of the boom 20 by the elastic force, which can make the boom 20 have a large friction force to prevent rotation, or further, one side of the pressing plate 42 close to the boom 20 is a convex-concave friction surface; The middle part of the lifting track 41 is a plane, the front and rear sides are lower than the middle part and are smoothly connected, which can ensure that the end side of the pressing plate 42 can be smoothly lifted; the rack 51 on the support frame 10 in the spraying area can ensure that the gear 52 rotates at least one round, which can ensure that the spraying robot can perform spraying work in the circumferential direction to the valve; when the hoisting component enters the spraying area, the pressing plate 42 is first lifted by the lifting track 41 and moves away from the boom 20, and then the gear 52 contacts the rack 51; The hoisting device for automatic spraying of the valve is used in the assembly area, the end side of the valve is clamped and fixed by the clamping component 30, and the end side of the valve refers to the medium inlet and outlet ends; The lifting component drives the valve to move forward, and before the spraying area, the pressing plate 42 is acted on the end surface of the lifting rod 20 by the downward elastic force, the contact area is increased, the friction force is increased, and the valve is in a static state relative to the lifting component, so that the uncertain swing between the valve and the clamping component 30 and the swing between the supporting rod 71 and the lifting rod 20 in the moving process is avoided; As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, when entering the spraying area, the pressing plate 42 first contacts the lifting track 41, and gradually rises along the smooth transition of the lifting track 41, at this time, the pressing plate 42 is separated from the contact with the lifting rod 20, the valve is positioned by the spraying robot, at the same time, the gear 52 is engaged with the rack 51 on the supporting frame 10, the lifting rod 20 can be automatically rotated with the supporting rod 71, and the spraying robot completes the spraying work on the valve; When the spraying is completed, the gear 52 is separated from the rack 51, and the pressing plate 42 is acted on the end surface of the lifting rod 20 by the elastic force again, so as to prevent the valve from swinging uncertainly again.

[0019] As shown in Figure 7 Further, the supporting rod 71 is sleeved with the elastic member 44 and is screw-mounted with the positioning plate 43; The pressing plate 42 is circumferentially limited and axially moved to be connected with the supporting rod 71, and the end side is rotatably provided with a roller capable of contacting the lifting track 41; One end of the elastic member 44 is in contact with the positioning plate 43, and the other end is in contact with the pressing plate 42; Specifically, the positioning plate 43 is screw-mounted on the supporting rod 71, and is used for adjusting the elastic force of the elastic member 44; the pressing plate 42 is connected with the supporting rod 71 in a spline or key mode, and the two sides of the pressing plate 42 perpendicular to the moving direction are rotatably provided with rollers, the rollers are in contact with the lifting track 41 and smoothly transition, so as to prevent the pressing plate 42 from being impacted too much when moving and lifting.

[0020] In some examples of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 The lifting rod 20 is fixedly installed with a guide wheel 62; A calibration area is arranged in front of the spraying area, and the supporting frame 10 in the calibration area is provided with the lifting track 41 and a pair of calibration tracks 61 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting component; One end of the guide wheel 62 is an acute angle structure, and the other end is a circular structure; The distance from the inner wall of the calibration track 61 to the front center vertical plane is greater than the radius of the circular end of the guide wheel 62 and less than the distance from the acute angle end of the guide wheel 62 to the front center vertical plane; under the limitation of the calibration track 61, the guide wheel 62 can be rotated to arrange the acute angle structure forward or backward; The middle part of the lifting track 41 has a length greater than that of the calibration track 61, and the front and rear sides of the lifting track 41 correspondingly exceed the front and rear sides of the calibration track 61; Specifically, the support frame 10 in the assembly area is provided with the lifting track 41 and is not provided with the rack 51. At this time, the pressing plate 42 is lifted through the lifting track 41, and the lifting rod 20 can be freely rotated on the support rod 71 by manual operation to facilitate the clamping and lifting of the valve in different directions by the clamping component 30. After the valve is lifted, the pressing plate 42 is in elastic contact with the lifting rod 20 again. At this time, each valve has a difference in the circumferential direction. When entering the spraying area in this different direction, on the one hand, it is not convenient for the spraying robot to recognize and position, and on the other hand, it will affect the existing spraying path of the spraying robot, causing the problem of uneven or missed spraying of the valve. To solve the above problems, a calibration area is arranged in front of the spraying area in the example. The calibration area is used to adjust the orientation of the valve so that it enters the spraying area uniformly. The inlet end of the valve is defined as A, and the outlet end is defined as B. The uniform orientation is that the vertical plane in which the axis of the inlet end A and the outlet end B of the valve is located is parallel to the forward direction of the lifting component. That is, the inlet end A is located on the front side of the forward direction, or the outlet end B is located on the front side of the forward direction. Initially, the acute-angled end side of the guide wheel 62 corresponds to the inlet end A of the valve, and the opposite side (the first circular arc 621) corresponds to the outlet end B of the valve, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 9 As shown, in addition, the vertical plane in which the forward center is located is consistent with the axes of the lifting rod 20, the support rod 71 and the guide wheel 62. A pair of calibration tracks 61 are arranged perpendicular to the moving direction of the lifting component. The guide wheel 62 can be fixed on the lifting rod 20 by bolts or welding. When the lifting component enters the calibration area, the pressing plate 42 is first lifted by the lifting track 41 so that the lifting rod 20 can be freely rotated. Then the guide wheel 62 passes through the calibration track 61. The guide wheel 62 is a cam structure. The circular diameter of the guide wheel 62 is slightly smaller than the distance between the pair of calibration tracks 61. The distance from the acute-angled end side of the guide wheel 62 to the center is greater than the distance from the inner wall of the calibration track 61 to the vertical plane of the forward center. The purpose is to enable the guide wheel 62 to rotate by itself under the action of the calibration track 61. Finally, the acute-angled structure of the guide wheel 62 is arranged forward or backward. When the calibration track 61 completes the orientation adjustment of the guide wheel 62 and the support rod 71, the guide wheel 62 is separated from the calibration track 61, and the pressing plate 42 is separated from the lifting track 41. The pressing plate 42 is pressed against the support rod 71 again by the elastic force, which can ensure that the support rod 71, the clamping component 30 and the valve enter the spraying area in a fixed orientation. Further, as shown in Figure 8 The acute-angled end side of the guide wheel 62 is provided with a circular chamfer, and the circular end is transitioned by a pair of parallel edges 622. The parallel edges 622 are tangent to the circular end of the guide wheel 62 and are limited by the inner wall of the calibration track 61. Specifically, the circular end of the guide wheel 62 is first circular arc 621, the acute-angled end side is chamfered to form the second circular arc 624, and the radius of the second circular arc 624 is smaller than that of the first circular arc 621; the two sides of the acute-angled shape form an inclined side 623, and the circular end of the guide wheel 62 and the end side of the acute-angled shape are connected by a parallel side 622, that is, the first circular arc 621 and the inclined side 623 are connected by the parallel side 622, and the length of the parallel side 622 is not greater than the radius of the first circular arc 621, so that when the guide wheel 62 enters the calibration track 61, the calibration track 61 acts on the inclined side 623 first; As Figure 5 shown, for convenience of description, the center of the guide wheel 62 is taken as the origin, the forward direction is towards the y positive axis, the distance from the acute-angled end side of the guide wheel 62 to the y axis is x1, and the distance from the inner wall of the calibration track 61 to the origin on the y axis is a; When x1 is greater than a, the guide wheel 62 passes through a pair of calibration tracks 61, and the end side of the calibration track 61 deviates to contact the guide wheel 62 first, for example, the end side of the calibration track 61 acts on the inclined side 623 of the guide wheel 62, so that the guide wheel 62 rotates until the acute-angled shape is close to the y negative axis, and preferably, the end side of the calibration track 61 is chamfered to ensure smooth contact; when x1 is not greater than a and x1 is located in the first and second quadrants, the guide wheel 62 enters the calibration track 61, and the inner wall of the calibration track 61 deviates to contact the guide wheel 62, so that the acute-angled shape of the guide wheel 62 is in smooth contact with the inner wall of the calibration track 61 until it is close to the y positive axis; The second circular arc 624 of the acute-angled end side and the inclined side 623 can make the guide wheel 62 smoothly enter between a pair of calibration tracks 61, and the parallel side 622 is tangent to the circular structure, which can limit the guide wheel 62 between a pair of calibration tracks 61 to avoid swinging of the guide wheel 62; Further, as Figure 8 shown, the transition wheels are rotatably installed on both sides of the acute-angled end side and the parallel side 622 of the guide wheel 62; The circumferential side of the transition wheel slightly exceeds the circumference of the guide wheel 62; Specifically, when the guide wheel 62 deviates to contact and rotate with the calibration track 61, the transition wheel can roll in contact with the inner wall of the calibration track 61, which reduces friction and avoids the problem of the guide wheel 62 being stuck.

[0021] In some examples of the present application, as Figure 6 shown, the inlet end of a pair of calibration tracks 61 is a smooth inwardly tapered structure; The pair of calibration tracks 61 are divided into long calibration tracks 61 and short calibration tracks 61; The long calibration track 61 and the short calibration track 61 are respectively provided with a lever assembly 63 capable of acting on the acute angle side of the guide wheel 62; The lever assembly 63 of the long calibration track 61 is squeezed to rotate clockwise by elastic force, and the lever assembly 63 of the short calibration track 61 is squeezed to rotate elastically clockwise by elastic force; Further, the lever assembly 63 comprises a lever, a rotating shaft, and a torsional spring; One end of the lever is installed on the corresponding calibration track 61 through the rotating shaft, and the rotating angle is limited, the torsional spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft, one end of which is connected with the lever, and the other end is connected with the corresponding calibration track 61; Under the action of the torsional spring, the levers on the long calibration track 61 are arranged in “ / ”, and the levers on the long calibration track 61 are arranged in “\”; Specifically, the calibration track 61 can be provided with a limiting block for limiting the angle of the lever, and under the action of the torsional spring, the corresponding lever is initially arranged in “ / ” or “\” inclination, and can be squeezed to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise; In the above example, the guide wheel 62 rotates to complete the unified orientation adjustment by being limited by a pair of calibration tracks 61, and the unified direction has the inlet end A located on the front side or the outlet end B located on the front side, which still has spraying differences for asymmetric valves; When the hoisting device moves forward, the guide wheel 62 successively contacts the long calibration track 61 and the short calibration track 61, and is finally limited by a pair of calibration tracks 61; When x1 of the guide wheel 62 is not greater than a, and the acute angle is located in the first quadrant, the lever assembly 63 on the long calibration track 61 first contacts the inclined side 623 of the guide wheel 62, and moves with the guide wheel 62 to stir the material so that x1 in the guide wheel 62 is greater than a, and the end side of the long calibration track 61 again contacts the guide wheel 62 to deviate, so that the guide wheel 62 rotates clockwise until the acute angle is close to the y negative axis, and the lever assembly 63 is squeezed to rotate clockwise, when the guide wheel 62 passes through the stirring assembly, the stirring assembly returns to the initial state, and then the guide wheel 62 continues to pass through the stirring assembly of the short calibration track 61, the stirring assembly acts on the first circular arc 621 of the guide wheel 62 to be squeezed to rotate counterclockwise, and finally the acute angle of the guide wheel 62 is towards the y negative axis, and the first circular arc 621 is arranged towards the y positive axis, that is, the outlet end B of the valve is arranged on the front side, and the inlet end A is arranged on the rear side; When the x1 of the guide wheel 62 is not greater than a, and the acute angle is located in the second quadrant, the guide wheel 62 first passes through the material pushing assembly of the long calibration track 61, the material pushing assembly can slightly push or not push the guide wheel 62, and then the guide wheel 62 is extruded to rotate clockwise and finally returns to the initial state; then the guide wheel 62 continues to pass through the material pushing assembly of the short calibration track 61, the pushing rod assembly 63 first contacts the inclined side 623 of the guide wheel 62, and the pushing rod assembly 63 pushes the guide wheel 62 to move so that the x1 of the guide wheel 62 is greater than a, and then the end side of the short calibration track 61 contacts the guide wheel 62 to deviate, so that the guide wheel 62 rotates counterclockwise until the acute angle is close to the y negative axis, and the first circular arc 621 is arranged towards the y positive axis, that is, the outlet end B of the valve is arranged on the front side, and the inlet end A is arranged on the rear side; When the x1 of the guide wheel 62 is greater than a, or the acute angle is located in the third or fourth quadrant, the material pushing assembly can act on the circumferential side of the guide wheel 62, but the action makes the guide wheel 62 rotate to make the acute angle close to the y negative axis, and finally the guide wheel 62 is guided by the end side and the inner wall of the calibration track 61 to make the guide wheel 62 uniform in orientation, and the valve is uniform in orientation; Preferably, the inlet end of the pair of calibration tracks 61 is a smooth inwardly tapered structure, that is, in the forward direction, the taper is located on the front side of the material pushing assembly, and the size before and after the taper still needs to satisfy that the distance from the inner wall of the calibration track 61 to the vertical plane of the center of the forward direction is greater than the radius of the circular end of the guide wheel 62 and less than the distance from the acute angle end side of the guide wheel 62 to the vertical plane of the center of the forward direction, and the spacing before the taper of the pair of calibration tracks 61 can facilitate the pushing and rotating space of the material pushing assembly, and also ensure that there is enough space for the guide wheel 62 to adjust when the guide wheel 62 contacts the end side of the calibration track 61; In the example, the long calibration track 61 and the short calibration track 61 are arranged, and the pushing rod assembly 63 capable of acting on the circumferential side of the guide wheel 62 is arranged at the inlet end of the corresponding calibration track 61, so that the orientation of the passing guide wheel 62 is adjusted and unified, and the spraying process of the non-symmetrical valve structure is facilitated; in addition, after the orientation of the guide wheel 62 is adjusted, the support rod 71 and the gear 52 thereon are uniform in orientation, and the rack 51 in the spraying area is reasonably installed at the initial design, so that the phenomenon of “stuck / tooth error” of the gear 52 and the rack 51 is effectively avoided when the gear 52 and the rack 51 are engaged.

In this example, the valve end surface is clamped by the first clamping block 37 and the second clamping block 39, which can ensure the stability of hoisting, and it can be quickly adjusted and replaced, which can be suitable for valves of different sizes, and in addition, the first clamping block 37 and the second clamping block 39 can be provided with positioning rods, which are matched with the through holes of the valve inlet end flange to enhance the stability of hoisting of large valves.
