Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] See Figure 1-6 An automated coating device for automotive flanges includes a main component 1, comprising: a housing 11 with a door 12 hinged to its front side; a coating component 2 mounted on the housing 11, the coating component 2 comprising: a support plate 211 symmetrically and slidably connected to through slots on both sides of the housing 11; a first support block 21 fixedly connected to the top of one side of the support plate 211; a second support block 22 slidably connected to the top of the other side of the support plate 211; a rotating shaft 23 passing through and rotatably connecting the first support block 21 and the second support block 22; an electromagnet 24 symmetrically embedded in the outer wall of the rotating shaft 23; a first motor 25 disposed on the outer wall of the first support block 21, the output shaft of the electromagnet 24 being fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 23; a spraying mechanism 26 disposed on the housing 11; and a driving mechanism 27 disposed on the housing 11 and the support plate 211. The drive mechanism 27 includes: a bracket 271, symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 11; a second motor 272, symmetrically arranged on the top of the bracket 271; a gear 273, symmetrically and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 272, and the gear 273 is rotatably connected to the internal cavity of the housing 11; and a rack 274, symmetrically and fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 211, and meshing with the gear 273. The housing 11 has a through slot for the rack 274 to move. The spraying mechanism 26 includes: a tank 261 disposed on the rear side wall of the housing 11; a pipe 262 passing through the rear side wall of the housing 11; a pump 263 disposed on the rear side wall of the housing 11, with its input end connected to the tank 261 and its output end connected to the pipe 262; a spray frame 264 symmetrically disposed on the output end of the pipe 262; and a spray nozzle 265 symmetrically disposed on the inner side wall of the spray frame 264. A controller 3 is disposed on the outer side wall of the housing 11, and the controller 3 is electrically connected to the electromagnet 24, the first motor 25, the pump 263, and the second motor 272.

[0048] In use, the operator first opens the door 12 and moves the support plate 211 out of the box 11 through the drive mechanism 27. At the same time, the operator starts the motors 272 on both sides. The motors 272 drive the gears 273 to rotate clockwise. Taking the direction of the motors 272 and gears 273 as shown in Figure 4 as an example, the racks 274 meshing at the top of the gears 273 drive the support plate 211 to move out of the box 11. Since the gears 273 on both sides are arranged opposite each other, when one gear 273 rotates clockwise, the other gear 273 needs to rotate counterclockwise so that the racks 274 on both sides can simultaneously drive the support plate 211 out of the box 11. When the support plate 211 moves the top support block 21 and support block 22 completely out of the housing 11, the worker pushes support block 22 to remove it from one end of the rotating shaft 23. Then, the flange is fitted and covered over the electromagnet 24. After the flange is placed, support block 22 is reinstalled on the rotating shaft 23, and the power to the electromagnet 24 is turned on. Since the flange is generally made of ferromagnetic materials such as iron, cobalt, and nickel, when the electromagnet 24 is energized and generates a magnetic field, the flange is magnetized, becoming a temporary magnet. At this time, an attraction is generated between the electromagnet 24 and the magnetized flange, causing the flange to be attracted to the rotating shaft 23, thus fixing the flange. Then, the motors 272 on both sides are controlled to rotate in opposite directions, and the support plate 211 moves the rotating shaft 23 back into the housing 11. The housing door 12 is closed, and the spraying mechanism 26 sprays the flange, which is convenient and quick.

[0049] The spraying process of the spraying mechanism 26 is as follows: When the rotating shaft 23 moves the fixed flange back into the housing 11, the operator simultaneously starts the power supply to the pump body 263 and the motor 25. The pump body 263 pumps the paint contained in the tank 261 into the pipe 262. The paint is then transported to the nozzle 265 through the delivery pipe inside the spraying frame 264. After the motor 25 starts, it drives the rotating shaft 23 and the flange to rotate. When the flange rotates, the nozzle 265 sprays the paint coating evenly onto the surface of the flange, thus completing the coating of the flange. After the coating is completed, the operator moves the rotating shaft 23 out of the housing 11 again through the drive mechanism 27, turns off the power supply to the electromagnet 24, and removes the support block 22. Then, the flange can be removed from the rotating shaft 23 one by one, which is quite convenient.

[0050] The staff can control the electromagnet 24, motor 1 25, pump body 263 and motor 272 through the controller 3 on the side.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] An auxiliary function has been added based on Embodiment 1.

[0053] See Figure 1-6The front sidewall of the housing 11 has symmetrically arranged sliding grooves 51, and a support block 5 is slidably connected within the sliding groove 51. One side of the support block 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the first support block 21, and the other side of the support block 5 has a groove 52. A connecting block 53 is fixedly connected to the top of the second support block 22, and the connecting block 53 is slidably connected within the groove 52. Baffles 4 are fixedly connected to the outer sidewalls of both the first support block 21 and the second support block 22.

[0054] When the operator needs to install support block 22, the connecting block 53 at the top of support block 22 needs to be slid into the groove 52 to complete the connection between support block 22 and support block 5. At this time, when the drive mechanism 27 drives the support plate 211 to move, the support blocks 5 at the top of support block 1 21 and support block 22 can slide simultaneously in the slide groove 51. The slide groove 51 can provide precise guidance for the movement of support block 1 21 and support block 22, ensuring that the rotating shaft 23 moves linearly in the predetermined direction, preventing the rotating shaft 23 from deviating or shaking during the movement, and improving the accuracy and stability of the movement. In addition, the support block 5 and the slide groove 51 can support support block 1 21 and support block 22 to a certain extent, sharing part of the weight of the rotating shaft 23, thereby reducing the vertical force on gear 273 and rack 274, reducing the load on gear 273 and rack 274, and extending their service life. When the support block 1 21 and support block 22 drive the rotating shaft 23 to move, the baffles 4 on the outer sides of the support block 1 21 and support block 22 gradually slide into the through grooves on both sides of the housing 11. The baffles 4 block the through grooves to prevent foreign objects from entering the housing 11 during spraying, thereby affecting the quality of the flange coating.

[0055] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
