Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of spraying equipment, in particular to a multifunctional nine-sided release agent spraying equipment. Background Art
[0002] A release agent is a functional substance that sits between the mold and the finished product. It is chemically resistant and does not dissolve when exposed to the chemical components of different resins (particularly styrene and amines). It is also heat-resistant and stress-resistant, resisting decomposition or wear. It adheres to the mold without transferring to the finished part, preventing it from interfering with painting or other secondary processing operations. Due to the rapid development of processes such as injection molding, extrusion, calendering, molding, and lamination, the use of release agents has increased significantly.
[0003] Currently, construction sites in my country almost exclusively use brushes to apply release agent to concrete test blocks. The concrete test molds used are plastic molds with vent holes at the bottom. When a site has many areas or volumes to pour concrete on the same day, dozens or even hundreds of concrete test pieces need to be prepared. Workers often have to squat or climb high, spending tens or even dozens of minutes applying the release agent. This not only increases physical labor, but fatigue can easily lead to uneven application, over- or under-application, affecting release and wasting release agent. It also wastes time and is inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the above-mentioned deficiencies or improvement needs of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional nine-sided release agent spraying device. By integrating a 3D vision system and a nine-axis robotic arm, the device realizes automated spraying operations on nine directions inside and outside the mold, significantly improving work efficiency and precision. The device also adopts an automatic retarder pumping design, eliminating the tedious steps of the traditional "spray first, then brush" method and simplifying the operation process. At the same time, the integrated spray head design enables the device to flexibly switch between release agent and retarder without the need for additional material changes, further improving work efficiency. In addition, the device's intelligent control system can automatically generate the optimal spraying trajectory based on the mold information obtained by the 3D vision system, ensuring the consistency and uniformity of the spraying operation.
[0005] To achieve this purpose, the utility model provides a multifunctional nine-sided release agent spraying device, comprising:
[0006] Trusses used to support equipment and position molds;
[0007] The nine-axis robotic arm located above the truss is used to drive the spray head to perform precise spraying operations on the mold;
[0008] A 3D vision camera located in the middle of the nine-axis robotic arm is used to photograph and identify the mold dimensions and spraying surface within the working area below the truss;
[0009] A release agent spraying head provided at the execution end of the nine-axis robotic arm is used to spray the release agent on the mold;
[0010] And the retarder brush head provided at the execution end of the nine-axis robotic arm is used to apply retarder to the mold. Through the combination of the spray brush head and the nine-axis robotic arm, in conjunction with the 3D vision system, the release agent and retarder application operations on the nine surfaces of the inner and outer molds can be automatically completed.
[0011] Furthermore, the device also includes a three-axis truss manipulator, which is fixed on the truss and is used to provide the nine-axis manipulator with the ability to move on the truss.
[0012] Furthermore, the three-axis truss manipulator includes three motion axes, three sets of guide rails and sliders, one set in each of three orthogonal directions, and controls the smooth and precise movement of the device in the three orthogonal directions on the truss.
[0013] Furthermore, the equipment also includes a six-axis robotic arm, which is connected to a three-axis truss robot and is used to drive the release agent spray head or the retarder brush head to perform precise spraying operations on the mold.
[0014] Furthermore, the six-axis robotic arm includes at least six rotation axes, providing multi-directional rotation and bending capabilities.
[0015] Furthermore, the device further comprises a delivery pipe connected to the retarder brush head and used for pumping the retarder directly onto the retarder brush head.
[0016] Furthermore, the release agent spray brush head and the retarder brush head can be switched according to operation requirements.
[0017] Furthermore, the equipment also includes an intelligent control system that receives information transmitted by the 3D vision camera, combines the mold dimensions and spray surface information obtained by the equipment from the factory system, corrects relative errors, forms actual three-dimensional model information, and automatically generates a spray operation motion trajectory based on the corrected actual data, and controls the nine-axis robotic arm to drive the spray head to perform spray operations on the spray surface.
[0018] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0019] 1. This utility model uses a combination of a spray head and a nine-axis robotic arm, in conjunction with a 3D vision system, to automatically complete the application of release agent and retarder to nine surfaces of the inner and outer molds.
[0020] 2. The utility model adopts an automatic pumping retarder design through the retarder brush head. The retarder is directly pumped to the brush head, eliminating the need to spray first and then brush;
[0021] 3. The utility model concentrates the retarder brush head and the release agent spray brush head on the multifunctional nine-sided release agent spraying device for alternate use. One machine can spray two kinds of materials without the need for material changing operation, and the spraying efficiency is higher.
