Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spraying robot technology, and in particular to a robotic process arm. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, as painting robots are increasingly replacing manual painting, the vast majority of robotic process arms are designed with painting equipment installed outside the robotic arm itself. This results in low space utilization, excessively long oil and gas pipelines, high paint loss rates, unnecessary waste of production costs, and low return on investment.

[0003] A novel robotic arm for paint production is disclosed in Chinese utility model patent publication number CN217861266U. Although the aforementioned prior art is convenient to operate and safe, and does not cause grinding debris to splash randomly to the outside, the robotic arm is only responsible for moving the spray gun for spraying. The equipment for spraying paint and changing colors is installed independently outside the robotic arm. The installation of these devices will cause the paint pipeline connected to the spray gun to become longer. Thus, every time the color is changed or the pipeline is cleaned and maintained, the loss of paint moving in the pipeline will increase, resulting in paint waste. Therefore, it is necessary to design a robotic arm that can install the paint equipment on the robotic arm to reduce the pipeline length. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problem of increased paint loss due to longer paint pipelines caused by installing spraying equipment outside the robotic arm, this utility model provides a robotic process arm.

[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a robotic process arm, comprising a mechanical arm, wherein the mechanical arm is provided with an installation assembly capable of mounting coating equipment onto the mechanical arm, the installation assembly is provided with a pipeline assembly capable of reducing coating waste inside the pipeline, the mechanical arm is provided with an installation groove, the installation assembly includes an installation plate disposed inside the installation groove and multiple support columns fixedly mounted on one side of the installation plate and fixedly mounted to the inner wall of the installation groove, multiple motors are fixedly mounted on the installation plate, a reducer is mounted on one side of each motor, a gear pump is provided on one side of each reducer, a color-changing valve assembly is fixedly mounted on one side of the installation plate, and a pressure regulating valve is provided on one side of the color-changing valve assembly.

[0006] By using the above technical solution, the installation slot and installation components can be set up to install the spraying equipment onto the robotic arm. After the equipment is installed on the robotic arm, it will be very close to the spray gun. Furthermore, the pipeline components will shorten the connected spraying pipeline, which will shorten the distance the paint travels inside the pipeline, thereby reducing paint loss inside the pipeline. This setup not only saves space by installing the spraying equipment onto the robotic arm, but also reduces paint loss inside the pipeline.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above scheme, each of the reducers is equipped with a coupling for connection with the adjacent gear pump.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, the coupling connects the reducer and the gear pump, allowing them to operate normally.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, a shim block is fixedly installed at the bottom of each gear pump, and the bottom of each shim block is fixedly installed with a mounting plate.

[0010] The above technical solution allows the shim block to adjust the position of the gear pump, preventing misalignment between the motor and the gear pump and thus avoiding accelerated wear of the gear pump.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above scheme, a first pipeline for receiving paint is fixedly installed on one side of each gear pump.

[0012] Using the above technical solution, the first pipeline will send the coating into the gear pump.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the piping assembly includes a second pipe fixedly connected to one side of the pressure regulating valve and a connector fixedly connected to one end of the second pipe, with one end of each of the two first pipes fixedly connected to the connector.

[0014] Using the above technical solution, the second pipeline, in conjunction with the connecting device, can deliver the coating into multiple gear pumps.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, a support block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the communicating vessel, and one side of the support block is fixedly installed with the mounting plate. The support block is arranged in an "L" shape.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the support block will support the communicating vessel and prevent it from loosening.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] This invention, by setting up installation components and pipeline components, and by setting up installation slots and installation components, allows all the equipment used for spraying to be installed on the robotic arm. After the equipment is installed on the robotic arm, it will be very close to the spray gun, thus shortening the original pipeline distance. The shorter connection distance of the pipeline components allows the paint to travel a shorter distance inside the pipeline, thereby reducing paint loss inside the pipeline. This design not only saves space by installing the spraying equipment on the robotic arm, but also reduces paint loss inside the pipeline. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0025] Please combine Figure 1-Figure 3This embodiment of a robotic process arm includes a robotic arm 1. The robotic arm 1 is equipped with a mounting assembly for mounting coating equipment. The mounting assembly includes a piping assembly to reduce coating waste within the piping system. The robotic arm 1 has a mounting groove 4. The mounting assembly includes a mounting plate 201 disposed inside the mounting groove 4 and multiple support columns 202 fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting plate 201 and fixedly mounted to the inner wall of the mounting groove 4. Multiple motors 5 are fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 201. A reducer 6 is mounted on one side of each motor 5, and a gear pump 7 is mounted on one side of each reducer 6. The mounting plate 201... A color-changing valve assembly 8 is fixedly installed on the side, and a pressure-stabilizing valve 9 is provided on one side of the color-changing valve assembly 8. A coupling 10 for connection is installed between each reducer 6 and the adjacent gear pump 7. A shim 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of each gear pump 7. The bottom of each shim 11 is fixedly installed with the mounting plate 201. By setting the mounting groove 4 and the mounting assembly, the equipment used for spraying can be installed on the robotic arm 1. After the equipment is installed on the robotic arm 1, it will be very close to the spray gun. The pipeline assembly will shorten the connected spraying pipeline, which will shorten the distance the paint moves inside the pipeline, thereby reducing the loss of paint inside the pipeline.

[0026] Combination Figure 1-Figure 3 Each side of the gear pump 7 is fixedly equipped with a first pipeline 12 for receiving paint. The pipeline assembly includes a second pipeline 301 fixedly connected to one side of the pressure regulating valve 9 and a connector 302 fixedly connected to one end of the second pipeline 301. One end of each of the two first pipelines 12 is fixedly connected to the connector 302. A support block 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connector 302. One side of the support block 13 is fixedly installed to the mounting plate 201. The support block 13 is arranged in an "L" shape.

[0027] The implementation principle of a robotic process arm in this embodiment is as follows: A mounting slot 4 is opened on the robotic arm 1. After the mounting plate 201 is installed inside the mounting slot 4, the motor 5, reducer 6, gear pump 7, color-changing valve group 8, and pressure regulating valve 9 can all be fixed to the robotic arm 1 through the mounting plate 201. Since these components are relatively close to the movable end of the robotic arm 1, and a spray gun will be installed on the movable end, these components will be very close to the spray gun. In this way, the pipeline that originally required a long pipeline to connect the spray gun and the components will be shortened, which can shorten the movement distance of the paint inside the pipeline, thereby reducing the loss of paint inside the pipeline. This setting can save space by installing the spraying equipment on the robotic arm 1, and also reduce the loss of paint inside the pipeline.

[0028] The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and replacements made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
