[0018] Figure 1 , 2As shown in , 3, the two solenoid valves DC and DC1 are normally closed valve core solenoid valves. The right end of the shell is an open structure, and a movable cover 51 is hingedly installed on the right end of the shell (the left side of the movable cover and the left side of the right end of the shell are hingedly installed together through hinges, which is convenient for opening the movable cover to add water to the dust removal tank 72). The dust removal tank 72 is filled with two-thirds of water, and the lower end of the exhaust pipe 12 and the lower end of the dust removal tank 72 are separated by 1 cm. The lower end height of the dust hood 71 is greater than the height of the grinding head 21 of the electric cleaning and maintenance equipment body. A sewage pipe 15 communicating with the interior is welded to the lower left end of the dust removal tank 72, and a manual valve 16 is installed at the left end of the sewage pipe 15 (located outside the shell, open the valve to release sewage with high turbidity). The detection circuit 6 includes a light source lamp H, a photoelectric transistor Q1 and a prompt sub-circuit. The light source lamp H and the photoelectric transistor Q1 are respectively installed in a glass cover 61 with sealing insulation. The left and right outer sides of the two glass covers 61 are respectively glued to the left and right sides of the lower part of the dust removal tank 72 with glue, and the two glass covers 61 are horizontally in a straight line. The light-emitting surface of the light source lamp H and the light-receiving surface of the photoelectric transistor Q1 are in a face-to-face structure (the wires connected to the light source lamp and the photoelectric transistor are led outward through the opening at the upper end of the glass cover 61, and are led upward from the third opening at the upper end of the shell 5, and the opening is sealed with sealant).

The power input ends of the electric cleaning and maintenance equipment 2 and the fan 3 are connected in series through a power switch and connected to the two poles of the AC 220V power supply via wires. The power input terminals 1 and 2 of the power module A1 are connected to the two levels of the AC 220V power supply through wires, the positive power output terminal 3 of the power module A1 is connected to the power input terminals of the two power switches S and S1, and one end of the positive power input resistor R1 of the detection circuit through wires, the power output terminals of the two power switches S and S1 are connected to the positive power input terminals of the two solenoid valves DC and DC1 through wires, and the negative power input terminals of the two solenoid valves DC and DC1 and the emitter of the negative power input transistor Q2 of the detection circuit are connected to the negative power output terminal 4 of the power module A1 through wires. All power switch handles are located outside the front end of the electric control box.

[0019] Figure 1 , 2As shown in 3, after turning on the power switch of the electric cleaning and maintenance equipment 2, it is powered on and works; when working, the application software of the industrial robot supporting control system is used to control the clockwise and counterclockwise directions of the rotating seat 102 of the industrial robot (including the industrial robot body with self-propelled ability), the left and right directions of the vertical axis 103, the front and rear directions of the rear arm 104, and the clockwise and counterclockwise directions of the front arm 105, so as to drive the cleaning head angle of the electric cleaning and maintenance equipment and the contact force between the cleaning head and the workpiece surface to clean the workpiece surface; the above is an existing mature technology and will not be repeated in this application. After the AC 220V power supply enters the power input terminal of the power module A1, the 3rd and 4th pins of the power module A1 output a stable DC 12V power supply which enters the power switch S, S1 and the power input terminal of the detection circuit. After the staff turns on the power switch S (S1 is closed), the solenoid valve DC is energized to open the valve core, so that tap water will be sprayed out at high speed through the hose through the front end of the dust hood 71 to rinse the surface of the workpiece. After turning off the power switch S, the tap water stops flowing into the dust hood 71 (the dust hood 71 is located at the right end of the cleaning head). After turning on the power switch S1 and the power switch of the fan 3 (turning off the power switch S), the solenoid valve DC1 is energized to open the valve core, and the fan 3 is energized to generate high-speed air to blow the exhaust pipe 12 and the negative pressure pipe 13 from top to bottom to generate negative pressure. In this way, the lower end of the dust hood 71 can generate negative pressure, and the dust generated during the cleaning process is adsorbed into the water in the dust removal tank 71. Due to the adsorption effect of water, the problem of dust directly discharged into the air to pollute the environment and affect the health of the staff is reduced. After the dust in the air is washed with water, the air is discharged to the outside through the ventilation pipe 5. After the detection circuit is energized and working, the light emitted by the light source lamp H shines on the light receiving surface of the phototransistor Q1. When the water turbidity in the dust removal tank is not large and the light transmittance is relatively good, the brightness of the light shining on the light receiving surface of the phototransistor Q1 is relatively large, and the internal resistance of the phototransistor Q1 is relatively small. The 12V power supply enters the collector of the phototransistor Q1 through the resistor R1 for voltage reduction and current limiting. The voltage signal output by the emitter of the phototransistor Q1 enters the base of the transistor Q2 through the resistor R2 for voltage reduction and current limiting, which is higher than 0.7V. The transistor Q2 is turned on and the collector outputs a low level and enters the negative power input terminal of the relay K1. The relay K1 is energized and its control power input terminal and the normally closed contact terminal are open. The buzzer B will not be energized to make a sound, indicating that the water turbidity in the dust removal tank is relatively small and does not need to be replaced.When the water in the dust removal tank is highly polluted and has poor light transmittance, the brightness of the light irradiated on the light receiving surface of the phototransistor Q1 is relatively small, and the internal resistance of the phototransistor Q1 is relatively large. The 12V power supply enters the collector of the phototransistor Q1 through the resistor R1 to reduce the voltage and limit the current. The voltage signal output by the emitter of the phototransistor Q1 enters the base of the transistor Q2 through the resistor R2 to reduce the voltage and limit the current, which is lower than 0.7V. The collector of the transistor Q2 is cut off and no longer outputs a low level to enter the negative power input terminal of the relay K1. When the relay K1 loses power, it no longer attracts its control power input terminal and the normally closed contact terminal to close. The buzzer B will be powered and sound, indicating that the water in the dust removal tank is relatively polluted and needs to be replaced. When the equipment is not working, the subsequent staff can open the valve 16 to discharge the sewage, and then close the valve 16 to re-add clean water to the dust removal tank and use it again.

[0020] Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, through the above, the robot arm of the new intelligent industrial robot can drive the cleaning head of the electric cleaning and maintenance equipment to clean the surface of the corresponding workpiece. When the fan is working, it blows air from top to bottom on the exhaust pipe to generate negative pressure. In this way, the lower end of the dust hood can generate negative pressure, and the dust generated during the cleaning process is adsorbed into the water in the dust removal tank, reducing the problem of dust directly discharged into the air to pollute the environment and affect the health of the workers; (it can also control tap water to wash the workpiece surface according to needs, and the function is more perfect. Figure 3 As shown, power module A1 is a finished product of an AC 220V to DC 12V switching power module; the resistance values ​​of resistors R1 and R2 are 100Ω and 4.7K respectively; transistor Q2 is a 9013 NPN transistor; the light source lamp H is a 10W incandescent lamp; the phototransistor Q1 model is 3DU5C; the relay K1 model is DC12V; the buzzer B is a finished buzzer model SFM-27 (working voltage 12V); the solenoid valve DC, DC1 power 2W; the fan 2 includes a motor (1KW), a volute, and blades.
