Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of paint spraying devices, in particular to a mobile paint spraying device for automobile sheet metal processing. Background Art

[0002] Auto sheet metal is a technical means of auto repair. In this respect, auto sheet metal is equal to auto sheet metal repair, which means that the car body needs to be repaired after a collision. After a collision, the paint surface of the car will be damaged, and the car needs to be repaired by spraying paint. The repair is mainly handled by the repair shop. According to the choice of the car owner, different sizes of repair shops are selected. Since most of the paint scratches caused by collisions will cause a strip-shaped scar on the surface of the car, from an economic point of view, most car owners with minor scratches will choose some small-scale repair shops, which are economical and fast to repair. The repair workers mainly grind around the strip-shaped scars, and then spray them through the paint spraying device. The corresponding car paint can be applied, but the current paint spraying device has a power cord dragged under the electric paint spray gun head when it moves, and the power cord on the ground often trips the workers' feet. When the workers move, the movement of their feet will pull the plug of the power cord out of the socket, causing the gun head to stop working. Therefore, the current paint spraying device is extremely inconvenient to move, and in the process of spraying paint on stripe scars, it is necessary to block the area around the stripe scars, and then move the gun head horizontally along the lines of the stripe scars to spray the car paint. However, in practice, when the workers move the gun head horizontally, misalignment often occurs, resulting in part of the car paint being sprayed in other positions, resulting in somewhat uneven color of the sprayed car paint, resulting in poor appearance after repair.

By moving the sleeve rod 31, the sleeve 30 is closed to prevent the power cord 7 from moving out, and then the handle 23 is rotated so that the sleeve 30 drives the power cord 7 to be flexibly wound on the winding tube 17, thereby shortening the length of the power cord 7, or the power cord 7 is rotated in the opposite direction after winding, so that the power cord 7 is easy to be pulled out, thereby flexibly controlling the length of the power cord 7 on the ground to avoid tripping, making it more convenient to move when spraying paint.

[0029] It should be noted that the utility model is a mobile painting device for automobile sheet metal processing. The plug 8 and the socket of the power box 7 are installed mutually, and the hanging plate 9 is installed on the belt or pocket of the worker's waist, and is hung on the belt or pocket through the hook 16. Then, a suitable position on one side of the power cord 7 and the card slot 26 in the No. 1 fixed platform 24 and the No. 2 movable platform 25 are installed mutually, and the No. 2 movable platform 25 is pulled upward, so that the No. 2 movable platform 25 moves on the No. 1 connecting rod 21, so that the No. 2 movable platform 25 moves upward,The first spring 28 on the first connecting rod 21 is squeezed, so that the first spring 28 is compressed. As the second movable platform 25 moves, the slots 26 between the second movable platform 25 and the first fixed platform 24 are separated from each other, so that one side of the power cord 7 is easily inserted into the two slots 26. Then the second movable platform 25 is released, so that the compressed first spring 28 is restored to open, pushing the second movable platform 25 to move downward, so that the slots 26 of the second movable platform 25 move downward, fixing one side of the power cord, and then the other side of the power cord 7 is passed around the bottom surface of the winding tube 17 and inserted into the sleeve 30 from the other side of the winding tube 17. Then the pull rod 33 is pushed in the through groove 32, so that the sleeve rod 31 is pulled. The rod 33 is pushed so that the outer end of the sleeve rod 31 is inserted into the sleeve 30, thereby closing the sleeve 30 to prevent the power cord 7 from being detached, and then the handle 23 is rotated so that the handle 23 drives the second connecting plate 22 to rotate, and the second connecting plate 22 and the rotating tube 18 are fixedly installed so that the rotating tube 18 is rotated, so that the rotating tube 18 is movable and rotated on the second supporting rod 19 through the first connecting rod 21 and the first bearing 20, so that the power cord 7 is continuously wound on the winding tube 17, so that the winding tube 17 continuously stores the power cord 7, so as to control the length of the power cord 7 remaining on the ground, and when the worker moves, the handle 23 is rotated in the opposite direction to loosen the wound power cord 7 The power cord 7 is scattered, so that the power cord 7 remaining on the ground is manually pulled out, so that the power cord 7 remaining on the ground is longer, so that the length of the power cord 7 remaining on the ground is controlled in real time, and the power cord 7 is prevented from tripping during the movement, causing the plug 8 of the power cord 7 to be pulled out of the socket, so that the worker moves to reduce the possibility of tripping, and the movement is more convenient. The worker holds the handle 2 and operates the flow switch 3 to spray the paint from the nozzle 6. During the painting process, the speed of the paint spraying movement needs to be controlled to make it relatively gentle, and the number of times the paint is sprayed on each point in the broken paint repair area of ​​the car body needs to be as consistent as possible, so as to keep the overall color of the repair area after painting more uniform and better looking. Therefore, when the repair area on the car body is relatively narrow and long, showing strip-shaped damage When repairing the stripe, after polishing the stripe, select a stripe plate and place it in the corresponding stripe. The other workers fix it manually, insert the installation head 12 into the installation slot 11 through the clamping head 13 at the bottom, and install the directional roller 15 to the position below the stripe plate, so that the directional roller 15 rolls on the bottom surface of the stripe, so as to move horizontally and spray paint horizontally. After moving back and forth several times, the car paint is sprayed on the stripe scar of the car body more evenly, so that the car paint in the stripe scar area is more evenly colored, and the sensory perception after the repair is better. After the spraying is completed, the installation head 12 is pulled out of the installation slot 11 again through the clamping head 13, so as to remove the directional roller 15, making it more flexible to use.
