Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.
[0035] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The composite device provided by this embodiment is shown, including a mounting portion 1 and a connecting arm 2, wherein the mounting portion 1 is used to be set at the execution end of the six-axis robot, and the connecting arm 2 is set on the mounting portion 1. A paint spraying component 3 is set on the connecting arm 2, and the paint spraying component 3 is used to spray paint on the surface of the steel component, and the paint spraying component 3 is communicatively connected to the controller; a contact probe 4 is also provided on the connecting arm 2, and the contact probe 4 is spaced apart and arranged on one side of the paint spraying component 3 along the first direction, and the contact probe 4 is suitable for detecting the thickness of the paint film, and the contact probe 4 is communicatively connected to the controller and transmits the detected paint film thickness value to the controller for storage. It can be understood that the first direction mentioned herein refers to Figure 1 The first direction in .
[0037] The composite device of this embodiment is configured such that a paint spraying assembly 3 and a contact probe 4 are spaced apart along a first direction on a connecting arm 2. In the process of processing a steel component, the paint spraying assembly 3 is first driven by a six-axis robot to move relative to the steel component to spray paint on the surface of the steel component. After the painting process is completed, the six-axis robot then drives the contact probe 4 to move relative to the steel component to the surface abutting the paint film. The contact probe 4 detects the thickness of the paint film and transmits the detected paint film thickness value to the controller for storage. This realizes the automatic and continuous execution of the painting operation and the paint film detection operation, reduces the participation of operators, and can both improve production efficiency and reduce harm to the health of operators.
[0038] It should be noted that the controller can also associate and store the paint film thicknesses of steel components with different component numbers with the corresponding component numbers, so as to call and query the paint film thicknesses of steel components with corresponding component numbers.
[0039] It can be understood that the six-axis robot mentioned in the article is a mature robot with existing technology. By presetting the control program inside the robot, the execution end of the robot can run according to the set logic and route.
[0040] Specifically, the controller of this embodiment is specifically Advantech industrial computer IPC-610L; the model of the contact probe 4 of this embodiment is specifically FeNFe.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting arm 2 is provided with a protective member 51, which is driven to rotate by a rotating assembly. The protective member 51 has a first state in which it abuts the detection end of the contact probe 4, and a second state in which it is separated from the detection end of the contact probe 4. When the contact probe 4 is needed to detect the paint film thickness, the rotating assembly is started to drive the protective member 51 to rotate forward by a set angle (specifically 90°), so that the protective member 51 automatically switches from the first state to the second state, so that the contact probe 4 abuts the surface of the paint film under the drive of the six-axis robot for detection. When the paint film thickness is not needed to be detected, the rotating assembly is started to drive the protective member 51 to rotate backward by a set angle (specifically 90°), so that the protective member 51 automatically switches from the second state to the first state. At this time, the protective member 51 abuts the detection end of the contact probe 4, acting like a "lid" to cover the detection end of the contact probe 4, effectively preventing external dust or paint liquid from splashing onto the detection end of the contact probe 4 during the painting process, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the contact probe 4. It is understood that the protection member 51 rotates 90 degrees in the forward direction. Figure 1 The viewing angle is rotated 90° counterclockwise.
[0042] Optionally, the rotating assembly includes a rotating cylinder 52 disposed on the connecting arm 2, and the protective member 51 is disposed at the output end of the rotating cylinder 52. By activating the rotating cylinder 52 in forward and reverse rotation, the protective member 51 can be automatically switched between the first state and the second state, thereby achieving a higher degree of automation. In specific applications, the rotating assembly is not limited to the above structure and can also be configured as a rotating motor, etc.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the paint spray assembly 3 includes a spray gun mounted on the connecting arm 2. The spray gun is connected to a paint liquid pump for storing paint liquid. When the surface of a steel component needs to be painted, the controller controls the paint liquid pump to supply liquid to the spray gun while the six-axis robot drives the paint spray assembly 3 relative to the steel component, thereby achieving the painting operation.
[0044] In a specific application, the paint spraying assembly 3 can also be set as an existing paint spraying mechanism, which can realize the function of spraying paint on the surface of the steel component.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting portion 1 is detachably connected to the execution end of the six-axis robot. This arrangement facilitates the removal of the composite device of this embodiment from the execution end of the six-axis robot for maintenance.
[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting portion 1 is optionally provided with first through-holes 11 at positions corresponding to the internally threaded holes of the six-axis robot's actuator end. When the mounting portion 1 needs to be assembled and connected to the six-axis robot's actuator end, the first fastening bolt can be passed through the first through-hole 11 and tightened into the internally threaded hole. When the mounting portion 1 needs to be removed from the six-axis robot's actuator end, the first fastening bolt can be removed from the internally threaded hole. The entire assembly and disassembly process is simple to operate, and the connection is tight.
[0047] In order to avoid the head of the first fastening bolt being exposed when the mounting portion 1 is assembled and connected to the execution end of the six-axis robot, thereby interfering with the assembly of the painting component 3 or easily scratching the operator; Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the end of the first through hole 11 away from the execution end of the six-axis robot is set as an embedding hole 111, the aperture of the embedding hole 111 is larger than the aperture of the first through hole 11, and the embedding hole 111 is used for the head of the first fastening bolt to be hidden and embedded.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting arm 2 is detachably connected to the mounting portion 1. This arrangement facilitates the removal of the connecting arm 2 with the paint spraying assembly 3 and the contact probe 4 from the mounting portion 1 for maintenance.
[0049] Optionally, a first threaded hole 12 is provided on the end surface of the mounting portion 1 facing the connecting arm 2, and a second through-hole is provided on the connecting arm 2 at a position corresponding to the first threaded hole 12. When the connecting arm 2 needs to be assembled and connected to the mounting portion 1, a second fastening bolt can be passed through the second through-hole and screwed into the first threaded hole 12. When the connecting arm 2 needs to be removed from the mounting portion 1, the second fastening bolt can be removed from the first threaded hole 12. The entire assembly and disassembly process is simple to operate, and the connection is secure.
[0050] In order to avoid the head of the second fastening bolt being exposed and interfering with the outside when the connecting arm 2 is assembled and connected to the mounting part 1, specifically, the end of the second through hole away from the connecting arm 2 is set as a mounting hole 21, and the aperture of the mounting hole 21 is larger than the aperture of the second through hole. The mounting hole 21 is used for the head of the second fastening bolt to be hidden and embedded.
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, two connecting arms 2 are provided, and the two connecting arms 2 are arranged on opposite sides of the mounting portion 1 along the first direction; the paint spraying assembly 3 is arranged between the two connecting arms 2. By partially hiding the paint spraying assembly 3 in the sandwiched area between the two connecting arms 2 along the first direction, damage to the paint spraying assembly 3 caused by collision with the outside can be better avoided.
[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
