Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automotive sheet metal spraying, and specifically to a paint pot and spray gun switching workstation. Background Technique

[0002] Since automotive sheet metal painting requires multiple and multi-pass spraying of color paint, clear paint, etc., when it is necessary to change the paint pot during the process, the existing solution mode 1: The robot needs to return to the designated position, and the operator manually removes the old paint pot and then replaces it with a new one. Mode 2: The operator pre-installs the paint pot on the spray gun and the robot quick-change disk, places it on the fixed fixture, and the robot goes to replace it. Then, the operator takes away the replaced old paint pot, spray gun, and robot quick-change disk together. The disadvantage is that it is time-consuming to assemble the paint pot, spray gun, and quick-change disk as a whole, and at least one set of spray gun and quick-change disk needs to be reserved for standby. Another disadvantage of the two modes is that the entire process cannot be fully automated after starting work and requires manual intervention. Second, since the equipment is installed in the paint baking room, the space is limited, and there are interferences such as baking lamps, and the position is extremely compact. The size of the equipment must be restricted, otherwise it is easy to interfere with the robot, and in severe cases, it will cause a collision;

[0003] Therefore, it is very necessary to propose a paint pot and spray gun switching workstation. Content of the Utility Model

The first support frame 12 is installed inside the equipment column 1. The baking room baking lamp 14 is arranged inside the equipment column 1. After the automotive body sheet metal is sprayed, it is baked by the baking room baking lamp 14;

[0034] The workstation mechanism 2 includes a paint pot bin 24 and a storage grid 28. The storage grid 28 is installed on the first support frame 12. The storage grid 28 is used to place the paint pot assembly 13. The paint pot bin 24 is installed on the top of the storage grid 28. The paint pot bin 24 is used to support and place multiple paint pot assemblies 13. The paint pot assembly 13 is inserted from the upper end of the paint pot bin 24. A support plate 21 is installed on the first support frame 12. The support plate 21 is used to support and install the horizontal movement module 22. The horizontal movement module 22 is horizontally installed on the support plate 21. The horizontal movement module 22 and the drag chain 221 are used in cooperation to drive the up and down pot picking mechanism 23 to move horizontally. After the paint pot is placed stably, the horizontal movement module 22 drives the up and down pot picking mechanism 23 to return to the standby position together. Both the horizontal movement module 22 and the drag chain 221 are general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structures and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or obtained through conventional experimental methods. The drag chain 221 is assembled between the support plate 21 and the X-axis 11 of the equipment. The up and down pot picking mechanism 23 is slidably installed at the front end of the horizontal movement module 22. The up and down pot picking mechanism 23 is a general standard part or component known to those skilled in the art. Its structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or obtained through conventional experimental methods. The up and down pot picking mechanism 23 is used to extend the air claw to grab the spout 133, take the paint pot assembly 13 from the paint pot bin 24, and then insert the paint pot assembly 13 onto the paint pot bearing bracket 262. The rear end of the up and down pot picking mechanism 23 is connected to the drag chain 221. The left end of the first support frame 12 is respectively installed with a first fixed bracket 25 and a paint pot bearing bracket 262 through bolts. The first fixed bracket 25 is used to support and install the rotary air claw 26 and the servo motor 261. The paint pot bearing bracket 262 is used to support the paint pot assembly 13. The rotary air claw 26 and the servo motor 261 are respectively installed on the first fixed bracket 25. The rotary air claw 26 pneumatically grabs the bottom of the pot body 131.

According to the program setting, the horizontal movement module 22 moves the up and down pot picking mechanism 23 to the designated position. The up and down pot picking mechanism 23 clamps the pot and raises it, and then the horizontal movement module 22 moves it to the paint pot bearing bracket 262. After the up and down pot picking mechanism 23 places the paint pot stably and returns, the horizontal movement module 22 drives the up and down pot picking mechanism 23 to return to the standby position together. After the paint pot is in place, the robotic arm moves the spray gun module 291, moves the installation port of the spray gun module 291 to the upper end of the spout 133, and moves it down to a non-interfering position. The servo motor 261 drives the rotary gripper 26 to rotate, and the rotary gripper 26 drives the paint pot assembly 13 to rotate, so that the spout 133 is snap-connected to the spray gun module 291. After completion, they each move away, and the reverse operation can be performed for the pot unloading action, realizing automatic loading and unloading of the paint pot. After the spray gun automatically replaces the paint pot, the paint pot is filled with cleaning agent. The robot moves to the cleaning position. First, the abutting block 271 is used to block the gun head of the spray gun, so that the cleaning agent flows back and impacts inside the gun during spraying, achieving the purpose of further cleaning. Then the spray gun moves into the chuck 272, and the flushing sewage flows into the recovery bucket through the chuck 272 and the pipe. According to the program setting, the robot pre-sets the spray gun module 291 on the gun holder, and the robot moves the position and controls the quick-change disk to replace the spray gun as required.
