[0017] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.
[0018] The present application discloses a surface finishing and polishing device for an automotive SMC exterior trim. Figure 1-3A surface finishing and polishing device for automotive SMC exterior parts includes a liquid storage tank 1 and a container 2, wherein the liquid storage tank 1 is used to store abrasive suspension, and the container 2 is used to hold the abrasive suspension. The size of the container 2 should be sufficient to accommodate the fender workpiece and ensure that the liquid is evenly distributed throughout the polishing process. A pumping assembly 3 is installed between the container 2 and the liquid storage tank 1. The pumping assembly 3 includes a circulating pump 301 with guide pipes 302 installed at both the liquid inlet and liquid outlet ends. The guide pipe 302 connected to the liquid inlet is connected to the interior of the liquid storage tank 1, and the guide pipe 302 connected to the liquid outlet is connected to the interior of the container 2. The abrasive suspension in the liquid storage tank 1 is extracted and transported to the container 2. It can be selected whether to add a diversion structure inside the container 2 as needed to achieve multi-nozzle discharge and expand the area of spray polishing.
[0019] Reference Figure 2 Filter assembly 6 is mounted at the lower end of container 2. This assembly includes an on-off valve 602 mounted at the lower end of container 2. A filter 601 is connected to the lower end of valve 602. The outlet of filter 601 is connected to liquid reservoir 1. Filter 601 removes impurities generated during polishing, maintaining a stable abrasive concentration in the liquid. The abrasive suspension can be made of 800-1200 mesh silica or alumina powder, suitable for fine polishing without excessive wear on the SMC.
[0020] Reference Figure 3 , several ultrasonic devices 4 are also installed on the container 2. The ultrasonic device 4 can use an ultrasonic stirring head of a suitable type. The position of 4 can be installed on the bottom or side of 2. The ultrasonic stirring head generates ultrasonic vibration to accelerate the effect of abrasive particles on the fender surface.
[0021] Reference Figure 3 A fixing assembly 5 is installed inside the container 2, and the fixing assembly 5 includes a rotating frame 501 for fixing the fender. The rotating frame 501 includes a rotating shaft 5011 rotatably installed at the bottom of the container 2, and a placement frame 5012 is installed on the rotating shaft 5011. A plurality of clamps 5013 distributed in pairs are installed on the placement frame 5012, and a screw 5014 is rotatably installed on the side of the two opposite clamps 5013 away from each other, and the end of the screw 5014 is threaded through the placement frame 5012. By adjusting the screw 5014, the two opposite placement frames 5012 can be moved toward or away from each other to achieve the clamping and release of the fender. The lower end of the rotating shaft 5011 passes through the container 2 and is transmission-connected to the drive motor 502. The driving motor 502 drives the rotating shaft 5011 to rotate with the placement frame 5012 to achieve the subsequent rotation of the fender.
[0022] The implementation principle of the surface fine grinding and polishing device for automotive SMC exterior parts in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: First, an appropriate amount of abrasive suspension, usually a mixture of 800-1200 mesh silica or alumina powder and water, is injected into the liquid storage tank 1 to ensure that the liquid level is appropriate.
[0023] The automotive SMC exterior parts to be polished, such as fenders, are placed on the placement rack 5012 of the container 2, and the workpiece is clamped by adjusting the screw 5014 on the clamping plate 5013 to ensure that it is stable and does not shake during the polishing process.
[0024] The circulation pump 301 is started to pump the abrasive suspension from the liquid storage tank 1 through the guide pipe 302 at the liquid inlet end and transport the abrasive suspension to the container 2 through the guide pipe 302 at the liquid outlet end. If a diversion structure is provided in the container 2, the abrasive suspension will be evenly distributed on the workpiece surface through the multiple nozzles, expanding the polishing area.
[0025] The abrasive suspension contacts the workpiece surface within container 2, where it is finely polished by the friction of the abrasive. During the polishing process, the drive motor 502 drives the rotating shaft 5011, which rotates the placement rack 5012 and the workpiece, ensuring that all areas of the workpiece surface are evenly polished by the abrasive suspension, further improving polishing uniformity and efficiency.
[0026] At the same time, the ultrasonic device 4 is started, and the ultrasonic stirring head generates high-frequency vibration in the container 2, accelerating the impact and friction of the abrasive particles on the workpiece surface, thereby improving the polishing efficiency and effect.
[0027] Impurities and abrasive particles generated during the polishing process flow back to the bottom of the container 2 along with the abrasive suspension. The on-off valve 602 is opened, and the abrasive suspension enters the filter 601 to intercept impurities and re-enters the liquid storage tank 1, thus realizing the recycling of the abrasive suspension.
[0028] When the polishing reaches the desired effect, turn off all equipment and remove the workpiece for subsequent processing (such as cleaning, drying, etc.).
