DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0035] The present application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0036] Embodiment 1: Referring to Figures 1 to 6 , the spraying device in the multi-color coating production line of aluminum alloy wheel hub, comprising a production assembly 1, the production assembly 1 comprising a base 11, the base 11 being provided with a transport table 12, the base 11 being provided with a spraying bin 13, the spraying bin 13 being provided with a spraying main body 14, the spraying main body 14 being provided with a spraying groove 16, the spraying groove 16 being provided with a spraying nozzle 15 at the end, the spraying main body 14 being provided with a color changing assembly 2, the spraying main body 14 being provided with a shielding assembly 3 and a cleaning assembly 4;
[0037] The color changing assembly 2 is used to change the color of the paint sprayed by the spraying nozzle 15, the color changing assembly 2 comprising a color changing groove 21 provided in the side wall of the spraying main body 14, the color changing groove 21 being provided with a color changing barrel 22 rotatably connected therein, the rotation of the color changing barrel 22 being driven by a drive motor 24, the drive motor 24 being installed in the spraying bin 13;
[0038] The output end of the driving motor 24 is fixedly connected with a driving shaft 25, the side wall of the driving shaft 25 is fixedly connected with a driving gear 26, the driving gear 26 is meshingly connected with a color changing gear 23, the color changing gear 23 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the color changing barrel 22, the color changing barrel 22 is provided with a paint groove 27, the top of the spraying bin 13 is provided with an adding hole 28, and the bottom of the paint groove 27 is in communication with the spraying groove 16.
[0039] Specifically, the color changing barrel 22 is rotationally connected in the color changing groove 21 of the side wall of the spraying main body 14, a plurality of independent paint grooves 27 are provided in the barrel, different color coatings can be supplemented through the adding hole 28, and the bottom of the paint groove 27 is in communication with the spraying groove 16. When changing color, the driving motor 24 is started to drive the driving shaft 25 to rotate, the driving gear 26 on the driving shaft 25 is in meshing transmission with the color changing gear 23 on the side wall of the color changing barrel 22, and the color changing barrel 22 is driven to rotate accurately. When the paint groove 27 corresponding to the target color is rotated to the position aligned with the spraying groove 16, the coating in the paint groove 27 flows into the spraying groove 16, and then is sprayed to the hub through the spraying nozzle 15; at the same time, the other paint grooves 27 are rotated to the closed state with the color changing barrel 22, the supply of non-target color coating is cut off, a single color changing action is completed, and the physical environment of the production line continuous operation is adapted.
[0040] The rotating color changing barrel 22 integrates a plurality of paint grooves 27, without reserving a large amount of pipeline and valve block installation space beside the spraying main body 14, so that the equipment floor area is greatly reduced, and the physical demand of compact layout of the production line is adapted. In terms of color changing efficiency, the color changing barrel 22 is quickly rotated and switched through gear meshing transmission, without interrupting the spraying operation for complex pipeline switching, so that the color changing time of a single group is greatly shortened, and the production line rhythm is improved.
[0041] The independent paint groove 27 avoids the advance mixing of different color coatings in the storage and supply process, and the accuracy of color switching in the color changing process is ensured through the accurate driving of the driving motor 24. In addition, the color changing assembly 2, the shielding assembly 3 and the cleaning assembly 4 are linked through a transmission structure, the shielding and cleaning processes can be started synchronously after the color changing action is triggered, the risks of residual material residue and cross contamination are reduced from the source, the pain points of long color changing time and large space occupation in the prior art are solved, and the product qualification rate and production benefit are indirectly improved.
[0042] The shielding assembly 3 is used for avoiding the pollution of the residual material cleaned out to the hub, the shielding assembly 3 comprises a shielding T-shaped rotating hole 32 provided in the bottom of the spraying main body 14, a shielding H-shaped rotating rod 33 and a shielding plate 31 are rotationally connected in the shielding T-shaped rotating hole 32;
[0043] The bottom of the drive shaft 25 is provided with a first belt groove 36, the side wall of the shielding I-shaped rotating rod 33 is provided with a second belt groove 37, and the spraying main body 14 is provided with a transmission groove 34.
[0044] Specifically, in the color changing process of the aluminum alloy wheel hub multi-color coating production line, the driving motor 24 drives the drive shaft 25 to rotate, the drive shaft 25 drives the shielding I-shaped rotating rod 33 to rotate in the shielding T-shaped rotating hole 32 through the first belt groove 36 at the bottom, the transmission belt 35 in the transmission groove 34 and the second belt groove 37 in the side wall of the shielding I-shaped rotating rod 33, and then drives the bottom shielding plate 31 to rotate synchronously. By virtue of the size difference between the first and second belt grooves 37, different rotating speeds of the color changing barrel 22 rotating a small circle and the shielding plate 31 rotating a circle are realized, the residual material of the spraying nozzle 15 during color changing is shielded by the semi-circular design of the shielding plate 31, and normal spraying is not affected. After the color changing barrel 22 rotates to the position, the bottom reset groove 610 triggers the hydraulic drive rod 67, the locking of the clamping assembly 6 is released through hydraulic transmission, the delay torsional spring 56 drives the shielding plate 31 to accurately shield the spraying nozzle 15, and the residual mixed coating is discharged through the waste discharge T-shaped groove 51 and the waste discharge guide groove 52.
[0045] Compared with the traditional independent shielding structure, the rotating speed is adapted by using belt transmission and groove wheel size difference, without additional driving mechanism, saving equipment space and energy consumption, and meeting the compact design requirements of the production line. The cooperation of the delay torsional spring 56 and the clamping assembly 6 ensures that the shielding plate 31 moves accurately and resets in time, provides sufficient time for complete discharge of the residual material, realizes efficient cleaning of the residual material with the waste discharge assembly 5, and reduces coating waste. The combination of the semi-circular shielding plate 31 design and the rotating speed control not only guarantees the shielding effect, but also does not interfere with normal spraying operation, significantly improving the production line beat and production efficiency.
[0046] The cleaning assembly 4 is used for cleaning the residual material in the spraying groove 16, and the cleaning assembly 4 comprises a lifting groove 41 provided in the bottom of the spraying main body 14, a lifting plate 42 slidably connected in the lifting groove 41, and a spraying nozzle 15 fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 42. The lifting groove 41 is communicated with a cleaning nozzle 48, and the side wall of the lifting groove 41 is communicated with a water inlet pipe 410.
[0047] The lifting plate 42 and the lifting groove 41 are connected by a lifting spring 43, the spraying nozzle 15 and the spraying groove 16 are connected by a connecting hose 44, the spraying main body 14 is provided with a cleaning groove 45, the cleaning groove 45 is communicated with the lifting groove 41, the side wall of the cleaning groove 45 is communicated with the cleaning nozzle 48 through a cleaning channel 49, the cleaning nozzle 48 is installed in an installation groove 46 provided in the spraying main body 14, a baffle 47 is installed in the installation groove 46, the baffle 47 is located above the cleaning nozzle 48, and a one-way valve 411 is installed in the water inlet pipe 410.
[0048] Specifically, the cleaning assembly 4 relies on the lifting groove 41, the lifting plate 42 and the communication structure at the bottom of the spraying main body 14 to realize the cleaning of the excess material. When changing color, the shielding plate 31 is rotated to abut against the bottom of the spraying nozzle 15, the lifting plate 42 at the top is driven to slide upward along the lifting groove 41, and the lifting spring 43 is compressed. The sliding of the lifting plate 42 makes the lifting groove 41 communicate with the cleaning groove 45, the cleaning liquid delivered by the water inlet pipe 410 is guided into the cleaning nozzle 48 in the mounting groove 46 through the cleaning groove 45 and the cleaning channel 49, and is precisely sprayed into the inner wall of the spraying groove 16 and the connection between the spraying nozzle 15 and the spraying groove 16 under the limiting and guiding of the baffle 47. At the same time, the spraying nozzle 15 is flexibly connected with the spraying groove 16 through the connecting hose 44, the waste liquid containing the excess material generated during the cleaning is returned along the spraying groove 16, and is discharged from the sewage outlet 53 through the waste T-shaped groove 51 and the waste drainage groove 52 of the shielding plate 31, thereby completing the closed-loop cleaning process.
[0049] The directional spraying design of the cleaning nozzle 48 of the scheme can accurately cover the gap and other areas prone to residual in the spraying groove 16, and cooperate with the circulation of the cleaning liquid to completely remove the excess material, avoid particle and color difference defects and subsequent color cross contamination, and significantly improve the product qualification rate. The flexible adaptive structure of the lifting spring 43 and the connecting hose 44 ensures that the position of the spraying nozzle 15 is adjustable and the connection is stable during the cleaning process, and is suitable for the continuous production environment of aluminum alloy hub coating. In addition, the cleaning and waste discharge system is designed in an integrated manner, without occupying additional equipment space, compared with the prior art, not only reduces the labor maintenance cost, but also improves the production line rhythm and coating quality stability, fully meeting the requirements of the Quanzhou preliminary examination on technical innovation and practicality.
[0050] The waste discharge assembly 5 is arranged in the shielding plate 31, and the waste discharge assembly 5 comprises a waste T-shaped groove 51 arranged on the surface of the shielding plate 31, a waste drainage groove 52 communicated with the bottom of the waste T-shaped groove 51, and a sewage outlet 53 arranged at the end of the waste drainage groove 52.
[0051] A delay groove 54 is arranged in the shielding I-shaped rotating rod 33, a delay fixed rod 55 is fixedly connected to the top of the shielding I-shaped rotating rod 33, and the delay groove 54 and the delay fixed rod 55 are connected through a delay torsional spring 56.
[0052] The waste discharge assembly 5 is used to completely remove the residual paint in the spraying nozzle 15 and the spraying groove 16, so as to avoid paint mixing during color changing. The waste discharge assembly 5 is connected with the time delay groove 54, the time delay fixing rod 55, the time delay torsional spring 56 and the clamping assembly 6 to realize time sequence cooperation through mechanical transmission and hydraulic control. After the color changing barrel 22 is rotated to a position, the bottom reset groove 610 drives the hydraulic driving rod 67 to slide upwards, drives the connecting disc 63 to lift through hydraulic transmission, and releases the locking of the time delay fixing rod 55. The time delay fixing rod 55 rotates under the action of the time delay torsional spring 56, drives the shielding plate 31 to rotate and shield the spraying nozzle 15. At this time, the new color paint groove 27 is connected with the spraying groove 16, and the output end of the spraying nozzle 15 is aligned with the waste discharge guide groove 52. Through starting spraying, the residual mixed paint is discharged, the time length of waste discharge is ensured by the reset slow time delay torsional spring 56, and the spraying nozzle 15 sprays pure new paint, so that the wheel hub spraying operation can be restored.
[0053] The waste discharge assembly 5 realizes efficient waste discharge through mechanical linkage and time delay design, greatly shortens the color changing time, and improves the continuous operation efficiency of the production line. No chemical solvent is used in the waste discharge process, which avoids corrosion of the surface of the aluminum alloy wheel hub and reduces environmental pollution caused by solvent volatilization, which meets the environmental protection requirements of the coating production line. Compared with a single cleaning structure, the cooperative design of the waste discharge assembly 5, the shielding plate 31 and the clamping assembly 6 ensures that the mixed paint is collected through the waste discharge guide groove 52, which not only avoids paint dripping and polluting the wheel hub to affect the coating appearance, but also reduces raw material waste and improves paint utilization. In addition, the material selection of the time delay torsional spring 56 can flexibly adapt to different viscosity paints, which has stronger adaptability, solves the quality problems of color difference and mixed color caused by paint residue during color changing in the prior art, and ensures the accuracy and surface texture of multi-color coating of the aluminum alloy wheel hub.
[0054] The clamping assembly 6 is arranged between the spraying main body 14 and the shielding H-shaped rotating rod 33, and the clamping assembly 6 comprises a clamping tooth groove 61 formed in the top of the time delay fixing rod 55, a clamping tooth rod 62 inserted into the clamping tooth groove 61, a connecting disc 63 fixedly connected to the top of the clamping tooth rod 62, the connecting disc 63 being slidingly connected in a cylindrical groove 64, and a reset spring 65 being connected between the cylindrical groove 64 and the connecting disc 63.
[0055] The spraying main body 14 is provided with a hydraulic piston groove 66, the hydraulic piston groove 66 is slidingly connected with a hydraulic driving rod 67, the top of the hydraulic driving rod 67 abuts against a color changing barrel 22, the hydraulic piston groove 66 and the hydraulic driving rod 67 are connected by a hydraulic spring 68, the hydraulic piston groove 66 and the connecting disc 63 are connected by a hydraulic transmission groove 69, and the bottom of the color changing barrel 22 is provided with a reset groove 610, the reset groove 610 is slidingly connected with the hydraulic driving rod 67.
[0056] Specifically, the snap-fit assembly 6 is installed between the spraying body 14 and the masking I-beam rotating rod 33. The core achieves precise control through mechanical snap-fit and hydraulic linkage. The snap-fit toothed rod 62 is inserted into the snap-fit toothed groove 61 at the top of the delay fixing rod 55. The connecting plate 63 connected to its top slides into the cylindrical groove 64 and is held in the snap-fit state by the return spring 65. During color change, after the color change tank 22 rotates to its position, its bottom return groove 610 abuts against the hydraulic drive rod 67, causing the hydraulic drive rod 67 to slide upward along the hydraulic piston groove 66, compressing the hydraulic spring 68. The pressure change within the hydraulic piston groove 66 is transmitted to the connecting plate 63 via the hydraulic transmission groove 69, pushing the connecting plate 63 upward against the elastic force of the return spring 65, causing the snap-fit toothed rod 62 to disengage from the snap-fit toothed groove 61, thus releasing the lock on the delay fixing rod 55. At this time, the delay torsion spring 56 drives the delay fixing rod 55 to rotate, which drives the shielding plate 31 to accurately block the spray nozzle 15. After the mixed paint is discharged, the reset spring 65 pushes the connecting plate 63 and the locking toothed rod 62 to reset and re-lock into the tooth groove.
[0057] Through a combined hydraulic and mechanical locking design, the masking plate 31 automatically unlocks after color change, ensuring precise alignment of the masking action with the color change process and adapting to the continuous operation environment of the production line. The meshing structure of the locking toothed groove 61 and the toothed rod provides reliable locking, preventing malfunctions of the masking plate 31 due to production line vibration and ensuring coating stability. The cooperation between the return spring 65 and the hydraulic transmission ensures rapid locking and unlocking responses, eliminating the need for additional drive mechanisms. This saves equipment space and reduces energy consumption, meeting the requirements of Quanzhou's pre-approval process for compact and efficient design. Compared to traditional manual control or electromagnetic locking structures, this component eliminates the need for complex circuitry and manual intervention, reducing potential failure points and maintenance costs. Furthermore, the delayed unlocking design allows sufficient time for cleaning up residual materials, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination and improving product qualification rates.
[0058] Example 2: The spraying process in the multi-color coating production line for aluminum alloy wheels includes:
[0059] S1. Clean, degrease, and grind the aluminum alloy wheel hub. If necessary, apply primer and cure it to ensure that the surface is clean and has good adhesion.
[0060] S2. Based on the multi-color design scheme, use masking materials, special jigs or color templates to divide the spraying area and clarify the construction sequence of each color;
[0061] S3. Spray the corresponding color paint onto the target area in the preset order. After each color is sprayed and cured, remove the corresponding isolation device.
[0062] S4. Fixture positioning and template calibration ensure precise matching of different color boundaries, while gradient effects are achieved by adjusting spraying parameters to achieve color fusion.
[0063] S5, after all color spraying is finished, the product is baked, cured, cooled, shaped and protected by finishing, so as to improve the stability of the coating and the surface performance.
[0064] The working principle of the application is as follows:
[0065] During the color changing operation, the driving motor 24 is started and drives the driving shaft 25 and the driving gear 26 to rotate, and through the meshing transmission of the driving gear 26 and the color changing gear 23, the color changing barrel 22 is driven to rotate. During the rotation of the color changing barrel 22, the current connected paint tank 27 in the color changing barrel 22 is closed and disconnected with the spraying tank 16, and at the same time, another group of paint tanks 27 is rotated to be aligned with and connected with the spraying tank 16, so as to realize the color changing spraying requirement of multi-color coating and meet the multi-color coating operation of the aluminum alloy hub. The adding hole 28 is used to supplement the coating in each paint tank 27, so as to ensure the continuous coating operation.
[0066] In order to prevent the coating remaining in the spraying tank 16 and the spraying nozzle 15 from dropping to the hub surface and causing pollution during the color changing process, the shielding plate 31 at the bottom of the spraying main body 14 is synchronously rotated during the rotation of the color changing barrel 22. When the driving shaft 25 rotates, the transmission belt 35 at the bottom of the driving shaft 25 transmits power through the transmission groove 34, the first belt groove 36 and the second belt groove 37, drives the shielding H-shaped rotating rod 33 to rotate, and then drives the shielding plate 31 to shield the spraying nozzle 15. Since the rotation circle number requirements of the color changing barrel 22 and the shielding plate 31 are different, the first belt groove 36 and the second belt groove 37 are designed to be different sizes, so that the transmission effect that the shielding plate 31 rotates one circle when the color changing barrel 22 rotates a small circle is realized, so as to avoid the interference of the shielding plate 31 to the normal spraying operation. The semicircular structure of the shielding plate 31 is also designed to achieve the technical purpose.
[0067] The cleaning assembly 4 is used for preliminary cleaning of the spraying tank 16 and the spraying nozzle 15 during the color changing process. When the shielding plate 31 rotates, the edge thereof abuts against the bottom of the spraying nozzle 15 and pushes the spraying nozzle 15 to slide upward, the lifting plate 42 at the top of the spraying nozzle 15 slides upward, so that the cleaning liquid in the lifting groove 41 is sprayed out from the cleaning nozzle 48 through the communication path of the cleaning groove 45 and the cleaning channel 49, the inside of the spraying tank 16 is preliminarily cleaned, and the operation pressure of the subsequent waste cleaning is reduced.
[0068] The waste discharge assembly 5 is used to completely remove the residual raw material in the spraying nozzle 15 and the spraying groove 16, so as to avoid the mixing of different color paints affecting the coating quality. Through the cooperative design of the delay groove 54, the delay fixing rod 55, the delay torsional spring 56 and the clamping assembly 6, the rotating action of the shielding plate 31 and the color changing barrel 22 is formed into asynchronous linkage. After the color changing barrel 22 is rotated to the position, the reset groove 610 at the bottom of the color changing barrel 22 drives the hydraulic driving rod 67 to slide upward, drives the connecting disc 63 to move upward through the hydraulic transmission, and releases the locking of the delay fixing rod 55. At this time, the delay fixing rod 55 is rotated under the elastic force of the delay torsional spring 56, drives the shielding plate 31 to rotate and shield the spraying nozzle 15, and at the same time, the paint groove 27 and the spraying groove 16 are kept in communication, and the output end of the spraying nozzle 15 is connected with the waste discharge guide groove 52. Starting the spraying action can discharge the mixed residual paint in the spraying nozzle 15 and the spraying groove 16, and after the spraying nozzle 15 sprays the pure new paint, the normal coating operation of the hub can be restored. The delay torsional spring 56 is selected from a material with a slow reset rate, so as to ensure that the mixed paint is completely discharged.
