Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metal slurry dipping devices, in particular to an automatic slurry dipping robot arm. Background Art

[0002] A metal slurrying system is a device used for metal surface treatment. By immersing or coating metal workpieces with special slurries, such as phosphating or passivating solutions, it creates a protective layer to prevent corrosion and enhance adhesion. It is widely used in the automotive, machinery, and home appliance industries, requiring careful attention to safety precautions and environmental control during operation.

[0003] The working process of the metal dipping device is as follows. First, place the metal parts to be processed on a specific workstation and make preliminary preparations. Then, start the device to allow the prepared slurry to flow at a uniform speed. The robotic arm drives the metal parts to the next workstation, so that the metal parts will be slowly immersed in the slurry under the action of the robotic arm, ensuring that all parts of the metal parts can fully contact the slurry, thereby achieving uniform dipping. After the dipping is completed, the metal parts are slowly lifted up, and excess slurry will drip at this time. A short pause is required to allow the excess slurry to flow back to the slurry tank as much as possible. The robotic arm then drives the metal parts to the next workstation again to facilitate the slurry drying and curing operation of the metal parts.

[0004] The disadvantage of the existing technical solution is that when the metal parts are transferred to the next workstation by the robotic arm after being dipped in slurry, the slurry on the surface of the metal parts has not dried yet, making the metal parts prone to dripping during transportation, resulting in waste of slurry. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatic slurry dipping robot to solve the technical problem in the prior art that slurry dripping easily occurs when metal parts are transferred to the next workstation after being dipped in slurry, resulting in waste of slurry.

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] An automatic slurry dipping robot arm includes a robotic arm arranged on a rotating platform. The device also includes a slurry dipping component for driving the metal product to be dipped in slurry and a sleeve component for preventing the slurry from spilling out of the metal product. The slurry dipping component includes a driving component that is cooperatively connected to the end of the robotic arm away from the rotating platform. The output end of the driving component is cooperated with a fixing component for fixing and clamping the metal product. A pushing component is provided on the driving component. The output end of the pushing component is cooperated with a rotating ring coaxially connected to the sleeve component. A cleaning component for cleaning the sleeve component is provided on one side of the driving component.

[0008] This is a further solution of the present invention: the sleeve assembly includes a cylindrical sleeve and a conical sleeve, and the cylindrical sleeve is coaxially connected to the rotating ring.

[0009] This is a further solution of the present invention: the cleaning assembly includes a scraper fixedly connected to one side of the driving assembly, the cylindrical sleeve and the conical sleeve both cooperate with the scraper, the rotating ring is coaxially connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical sleeve, and a driving assembly for driving the cylindrical sleeve and the conical sleeve to rotate is provided on one side of the rotating platform.

[0010] This is a further solution of the present invention: a driving wheel is coaxially fixedly connected to the outer side of the cylindrical sleeve, and the driving component includes a driving motor arranged on one side of the rotating platform, and the output end of the driving motor is fixedly connected to a driving wheel that matches the driving wheel.

[0011] It is a further solution of the present invention: the driving assembly includes a driving motor, the driving motor is arranged at an end of the robotic arm away from the rotating platform, and the fixing assembly is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor.

[0012] This is a further solution of the present invention: the pushing assembly includes an electric telescopic rod, and the electric telescopic rod is provided in two groups. The two groups of electric telescopic rods are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the driving motor.

[0013] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0014] 1. After the metal product is dipped in slurry, the utility model can drive the rotating ring to move through the pushing assembly, and the rotating ring drives the cylindrical sleeve and the conical sleeve to move, so that the cylindrical sleeve and the conical sleeve cover the fixed assembly and the metal product, and the robotic arm belt driving assembly tilts to one side. At this time, since there is a certain angle between the extension direction of the inner wall of the conical sleeve and the extension direction of the inner wall of the cylindrical sleeve, there is a groove at the connection position of the cylindrical sleeve and the conical sleeve, so that the slurry dripping on the metal product will be collected by the cylindrical sleeve and the conical sleeve. When the robotic arm drives the cylindrical sleeve and the conical sleeve to be placed vertically, the collected slurry can be poured to the specified position, thereby reducing the waste of slurry.

[0015] 2. According to the utility model, after the metal product is taken out, slurry still sticks to the inner surface of the cylindrical sleeve and the conical sleeve. The driving wheel can be connected to the driving wheel through the rotating platform and the mechanical arm, and then the motor is started to drive the driving wheel to rotate, thereby driving the cylindrical sleeve and the conical sleeve to rotate. The pushing assembly drives the cylindrical sleeve and the conical sleeve to move back and forth, so that the scraper can clean the inner wall of the cylindrical sleeve and the conical sleeve and scrape off the slurry stuck to the inner surface of the cylindrical sleeve and the conical sleeve, thereby achieving the effect of automatic maintenance. The scraped slurry can be collected and used again, which is highly practical. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The slurry dipping assembly comprises a driving assembly 3 that is connected to the end of the robotic arm 2 away from the rotating platform 1, and the output end of the driving assembly 3 is provided with a fixing assembly 10 for fixing and clamping the metal product. The fixing assembly 10 comprises an elastic clamping claw. After the metal product is fixed in the elastic clamping claw, the robotic arm 2 sends the metal product into the slurry, and the driving assembly 3 drives the metal product to rotate, so that the slurry is evenly adhered to the surface of the metal product; the sleeve assembly comprises a cylindrical sleeve 6 and a conical sleeve 6. shaped sleeve 7, a pushing assembly 4 is provided on the driving assembly 3, and the output end of the pushing assembly 4 is connected with a rotating ring 5. The pushing assembly 4 can drive the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7 to move through the rotating ring 5, so that they are sleeved on the outside of the fixed assembly 10 and the metal product, and because there is an angle between the extension direction of the inner wall of the conical sleeve 7 and the extension direction of the inner wall of the cylindrical sleeve 6, there is a groove at the connection position inside the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7, so that the slurry dripping on the metal product will be collected by the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7. A cleaning assembly for cleaning the sleeve assembly is provided on one side of the driving assembly 3, and the cleaning assembly is used to clean the inner walls of the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7.

[0024] In some specific embodiments, in order to achieve the cleaning of the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7, the cleaning component includes a scraper 9 fixedly connected to one side of the driving component 3, the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7 both cooperate with the scraper 9, the inner walls of the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7 are in contact with one side of the scraper 9, the rotating ring 5 is coaxially connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical sleeve 6, and a driving component for driving the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7 to rotate is provided on one side of the rotating platform 1. A driving wheel 8 is coaxially fixedly connected to the outer side of the cylindrical sleeve 6. The driving component includes a driving motor 11 provided on one side of the rotating platform 1, and a driving wheel 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor 11 to cooperate with the driving wheel 8. After the driving motor 11 is started, it can drive the driving wheel 12 to rotate, and the driving wheel 12 drives the driving wheel 8 to rotate, and the driving wheel 8 drives the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7 to rotate, so that the scraper 9 can clean the inner walls of the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7.

[0025] In some specific embodiments, the drive assembly 3 includes a drive motor, which is cooperatively mounted at the end of the robotic arm 2 away from the rotating platform 1. The fixed assembly 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The drive motor drives the metal product to rotate through the fixed assembly 10, thereby facilitating uniform slurry coating on the surface of the metal product. The push assembly 4 includes two sets of electric telescopic rods, each fixedly connected to either side of the drive assembly 3. The two sets of electric telescopic rods are responsible for controlling the position of the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7, thereby facilitating the collection of slurry drips.

[0026] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this solution by those skilled in the art, the working principle of the embodiments of this solution will now be described in conjunction with specific application scenarios:

[0027] During use, the worker fixes the metal product on the fixing assembly 10, and then the rotating platform 1 rotates, and the metal product is moved to the next slurry dipping station by the robotic arm 2. The metal product is then immersed in the slurry pool by the robotic arm 2. The driving assembly 3 is started to drive the fixing assembly 10 to rotate, thereby driving the metal product to rotate, so that the surface of the metal product can be evenly adhered to the slurry. The robotic arm 2 then drives the metal product out of the slurry pool. When the metal product is slowly lifted, excess slurry will drip. A short pause is required to allow the excess slurry to flow back to the slurry tank as much as possible, thereby achieving the slurry dipping operation of the metal product.

[0028] The rear pushing assembly 4 drives the rotating ring 5 to move, and the rotating ring 5 drives the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the tapered sleeve 7 to move, so that the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the tapered sleeve 7 cover the fixed assembly 10 and the metal product. The robotic arm 2 leads the driving assembly 3 to tilt to one side. At this time, since there is a certain angle between the extension direction of the inner wall of the tapered sleeve 7 and the extension direction of the inner wall of the cylindrical sleeve 6, there is a groove at the connection position of the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the tapered sleeve 7, so that the slurry dripping on the metal product will be collected by the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the tapered sleeve 7. When the robotic arm 2 drives the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the tapered sleeve 7 to be placed vertically, the collected slurry can be poured to the specified position, thereby reducing the waste of slurry;

[0029] When the metal product is taken out, there is still slurry stuck on the inner surfaces of the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7. The rotating platform 1 and the robotic arm 2 can be used to drive the driving wheel 8 to dock with the active wheel 12, and then the motor 11 is started to drive the active wheel 12 to rotate. The rotation of the active wheel 12 drives the driving wheel 8 to rotate, and the driving wheel 8 drives the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7 to rotate. The pushing assembly 4 drives the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7 to move back and forth, so that the scraper 9 can clean the inner walls of the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7 and scrape off the slurry stuck on the inner surfaces of the cylindrical sleeve 6 and the conical sleeve 7, thereby achieving the effect of automatic maintenance.
