Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy manufacturing and processing technology, specifically to a painting device for processing building block toys. Background Technology

[0002] Building blocks are typically cubic wooden or plastic solid toys, usually decorated with letters or pictures on each surface, allowing for different arrangements or building activities. Building blocks come in various styles, can develop children's intelligence, and can be assembled into houses, various animals, etc. During the manufacturing process of building blocks, they need to be painted.

[0003] Existing painting equipment requires manual flipping of building blocks when painting them, which affects painting efficiency. During the flipping process, workers are exposed to too much paint mist, which can have a negative impact on their physical and mental health. In addition, since building blocks come in different shapes and sizes, different clamps need to be used to hold them when painting different shapes and sizes. Most existing clamps are fixed with bolts, which are easily covered by paint, so the paint must be cleaned before replacement, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a painting device for processing building block toys, so as to solve the technical problems in the background art mentioned above.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a painting device for processing building block toys, comprising a spraying box, a first motor mounted on one side of the spraying box, a lead screw connected to the output end of the first motor, a slider connected to the outside of the lead screw, a rotating assembly provided on the top of the slider, the rotating assembly comprising a hydraulic cylinder and a second motor, a mounting frame connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, a rotating shaft connected inside the mounting frame, a rotating rod connected to the output end of the second motor, a clamping assembly connected to one end of both the rotating shaft and the rotating rod, the clamping assembly comprising a connector, an installation groove and a locking tooth provided inside the connector, a connecting seat connected inside the installation groove, a locking plate and a spring connected inside the connecting seat, a limiting groove provided on one side of the locking plate, and a clamp mounted on the back of the connecting seat.

[0006] Furthermore, the interior of the spray box is divided into a curing zone, a spraying zone, and a clamping zone by partitions.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, UV curing lamps are installed inside the curing zone, and air suction devices are installed at the openings in the partitions between the spraying zone, curing zone, and clamping zone. These air suction devices are connected to an external air purification system. The partitions divide the interior of the spraying box into different functional areas, allowing the painting process to proceed in an orderly manner, improving production efficiency, and at the same time avoiding direct contact between workers and paint mist, thus reducing the impact of paint mist on the physical and mental health of workers.

[0008] Furthermore, the spray box is provided with a sliding groove inside, the slider is "C" shaped, and the slider is slidably connected to the spray box through the sliding groove.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the lead screw rotates under the drive of the first motor output, causing the slider to move along the slide groove. The "C"-shaped design of the slider cooperates with the slide groove to ensure that the slider slides smoothly in the spray box, driving the building blocks to move accurately to each area.

[0010] Furthermore, a control panel is installed inside the clamping area, and a spraying robot is installed in the spraying area. The first motor, the second motor, the hydraulic cylinder, and the spraying robot air compressor are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the control panel is programmed to automatically control each component, ensuring that the painting process proceeds according to the predetermined procedure. Workers only need to clamp the blocks to be painted and remove the cured blocks, without needing to intervene in other areas, thereby reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0012] Furthermore, the connector and the connecting seat are detachably connected.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the clamp needs to be replaced, the operator presses down on the two clamping plates at the same time, causing the limiting groove to disengage from the clamping teeth, thereby removing the connecting seat and the clamp. This makes it convenient to replace the corresponding clamp according to different building blocks and improves the versatility of the device.

[0014] Furthermore, the limiting groove is serrated, and the locking teeth correspond to the limiting groove.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the serrated design facilitates the quick insertion of the locking teeth into the limiting groove. The cooperation between the limiting groove and the locking teeth makes the connection between the connecting seat and the connector more secure, preventing the fixture from loosening during the spraying process.

[0016] Furthermore, the card plate is provided in two sets, and the two sets of card plates are symmetrically distributed.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the connector is provided with a sliding groove, and the retaining plate slides inside the connector through the sliding groove. The two sets of retaining plates are symmetrically distributed to ensure that the connector is subjected to uniform force in the mounting groove, thereby further improving the stability of the connection.

[0018] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the connecting frame.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating shaft is connected to the connecting frame through the bearing, so that the rotating shaft can rotate flexibly. Driven by the output end of the second motor, the rotating rod drives the clamping component at one end of the rotating rod to rotate. Through transmission, the clamping component at one end of the rotating shaft follows the rotation. The rotating shaft and the rotating rod drive the block to be sprayed to rotate in all directions, which makes it easier for the spraying robot to spray the block to be sprayed evenly.

[0020] Furthermore, there are three sets of springs, and the three sets of springs are placed equidistantly inside the connecting seat.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when changing the clamp, the operator simultaneously presses down on the two clamping plates on the connector, causing the clamping plates to compress the springs. Then, the connector is inserted into the installation slot. After the connector is flush with the top of the connector, the clamping plates are released. At this time, under the action of the spring force, the limiting groove on one side of the clamping plate engages with the tooth, thereby completing the installation and fixing of the connector and the connector. The three sets of springs placed at equal intervals provide stable elastic force for the clamping plates, ensuring a reliable connection between the clamping plates and the tooth.

[0022] Furthermore, a protective shell is attached to the top of the slider.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective shell is divided into upper and lower parts, which can be detachably connected. The protective shell shields the hydraulic cylinder and the second motor at the top of the slider, preventing them from being corroded by paint and other substances during the spraying process, thereby extending the service life of the hydraulic cylinder and the second motor.

[0024] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0025] 1. This utility model is equipped with a first motor, a lead screw, a slider, and a rotating assembly. The rotating assembly can drive the building blocks to rotate in all directions, allowing the painting robot to evenly spray all sides of the building blocks without the need for manual flipping. In conjunction with the transmission structure of the first motor, lead screw, and slider, the building blocks can be automatically moved between the clamping area, the spraying area, and the curing area, realizing the automation of the painting process, greatly improving production efficiency, and at the same time avoiding frequent exposure of workers to paint mist, reducing health risks.

[0026] 2. This utility model features a clamping assembly. The teeth inside the connector engage with the serrated limiting groove of the clamping plate inside the connecting seat, achieving quick locking through spring force. When changing the clamp, simply press the clamping plate to disengage the limiting groove from the teeth, and the connecting seat can be removed without cleaning paint or disassembling bolts, making the operation simple and quick. Furthermore, the corresponding clamps can be changed according to different shapes and sizes of building blocks, avoiding the replacement difficulties caused by bolts being covered by paint. This significantly improves the device's adaptability to various building blocks and reduces changeover time. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0036] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0037] Example 1: A painting device for processing building block toys, such as... Figures 1-7As shown, the system includes a spray box 1, a first motor 2 mounted on one side of the spray box 1, a lead screw 3 connected to the output end of the first motor 2, a slider 7 connected to the outside of the lead screw 3, a rotating assembly 8 on the top of the slider 7, the rotating assembly 8 including a hydraulic cylinder 803 and a second motor 801, a mounting bracket connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 803, a rotating shaft 805 connected inside the mounting bracket, a rotating rod 802 connected to the output end of the second motor 801, and a clamping assembly 9 connected to one end of both the rotating shaft 805 and the rotating rod 802, the clamping assembly 9 including a connector 901, a mounting groove 902 and a locking tooth 903 inside the connector 901, a connecting seat 904 connected inside the mounting groove 902, and a connecting seat 904 inside the connecting seat 904. The spray box 1 is connected by a clamping plate 906 and a spring 905. A limiting groove 907 is provided on one side of the clamping plate 906. A clamp 908 is installed on the back of the connecting seat 904. The inside of the spray box 1 is divided into a curing area 103, a spraying area 102 and a clamping area 101 by partitions. A UV curing lamp is installed inside the curing area 103. An air suction device is installed at the notch in the partition between the spraying area 102, the curing area 103 and the clamping area 101, and the air suction device is connected to an external air purification system. The partitions divide the inside of the spray box 1 into different functional areas, so that the painting process can be carried out in an orderly manner, improving production efficiency, while avoiding direct contact between workers and paint mist, reducing the impact of paint mist on the physical and mental health of workers.

[0038] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the above embodiment, the spray box 1 is provided with a slide groove 6 inside, and the slider 7 is in the shape of a "C". The slider 7 is slidably connected to the spray box 1 through the slide groove 6. Under the drive of the output end of the first motor 2, the lead screw 3 rotates and drives the slider 7 to move along the slide groove 6. The "C" shape design of the slider 7 cooperates with the slide groove 6 to ensure that the slider 7 slides smoothly in the spray box 1 and drives the building blocks to move accurately to each area.

[0039] See Figures 1-3 In the above embodiment, a control panel 4 is installed inside the clamping area 101, and a spraying robot 5 is installed in the spraying area 102. The first motor 2, the second motor 801, the hydraulic cylinder 803, and the spraying robot are all electrically connected to the controller. The control panel 4 is programmed, and the automated control of each component is achieved by executing the program through the control panel 4, ensuring that the painting process is carried out according to the predetermined program. The workers only need to clamp the building blocks to be sprayed and remove the cured building blocks, without intervening in other positions, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the workers.

[0040] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7In the above embodiment, the connector 901 and the connecting seat 904 are detachably connected. When the clamp 908 needs to be replaced, the operator presses down on the two clamping plates 906 at the same time, so that the limiting groove 907 disengages from the clamping teeth 903, thereby removing the connecting seat 904 and the clamp 908. This makes it convenient to replace the corresponding clamp 908 according to different building blocks, improving the versatility of the device.

[0041] See Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the above embodiment, the limiting groove 907 is serrated, and the locking tooth 903 corresponds to the limiting groove 907. The serrated setting facilitates the quick insertion of the locking tooth 903 into the limiting groove 907. Through the cooperation of the limiting groove 907 and the locking tooth 903, the connection between the connecting seat 904 and the connector 901 is more secure, preventing the fixture 908 from loosening during the spraying process.

[0042] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the above embodiment, there are two sets of card plates 906, and the two sets of card plates 906 are symmetrically distributed. The connector 904 is provided with a sliding groove 6. The card plates 906 slide inside the connector 904 through the sliding groove 6. The two sets of card plates 906 are symmetrically distributed to ensure that the connector 904 is subjected to uniform force in the mounting groove 902, thereby further improving the stability of the connection.

[0043] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the above embodiment, the rotating shaft 805 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 804. The rotating shaft 805 is connected to the connecting frame 804 through a bearing, so that the rotating shaft 805 can rotate flexibly. Under the drive of the output end of the second motor 801, the rotating rod 802 drives the clamping component 9 at one end of the rotating rod 802 to rotate. Through transmission, the clamping component 9 at one end of the rotating shaft 805 rotates accordingly. The rotating shaft 805 and the rotating rod 802 drive the block to be sprayed to rotate in all directions, so that the spraying robot 5 can spray the block to be sprayed evenly.

[0044] See Figure 5 and Figure 7In the above embodiment, there are three sets of springs 905, and the three sets of springs 905 are placed equidistantly inside the connector 904. When changing the clamp 908, the operator simultaneously presses down on the two clamping plates 906 on the connector 904, so that the clamping plates 906 compress the springs 905. Then, the connector 904 is inserted into the mounting groove 902. After the connector 904 is flush with the top of the connector 901, the clamping plates 906 are released. At this time, under the elastic force of the springs 905, the limiting groove 907 on one side of the clamping plate 906 is engaged in the inside of the clamping teeth 903, thereby completing the installation and fixation of the connector 904 and the connector 901. The three sets of springs 905 placed equidistantly provide stable elastic force to the clamping plates 906, ensuring a reliable connection between the clamping plates 906 and the clamping teeth 903.

[0045] Example 2: To avoid the paint mist affecting the second motor 801 and hydraulic cylinder 803, Example 2 is an improvement on Example 1. (See attached document.) Figures 1-4 The top of the slider 7 is connected to a protective shell 10, which is divided into upper and lower parts that can be detachably connected. The protective shell 10 shields the hydraulic cylinder 803 and the second motor 801 on the top of the slider 7, preventing them from being corroded by paint and other substances during the spraying process, thereby extending the service life of the hydraulic cylinder 803 and the second motor 801.

[0046] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: The operator fixes the building block to be painted onto the clamp 908 in the clamping area 101. Then, the operator controls the control panel 4 to execute the program. The control panel 4 starts the first motor 2, and the output end of the first motor 2 drives the lead screw 3 to rotate, causing the slider 7 to move the rotating assembly 8, the clamping assembly 9, and the building block to be painted to the designated position in the painting area 102. At this time, the second motor 801 and the painting robot 5 start simultaneously. The output end of the second motor 801 drives the rotating rod 802 to rotate, causing the clamping assembly 9 at one end of the rotating rod 802 to move the building block to be painted... The paint block rotates, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 805 and the clamping component 9 on the rotating shaft 805 to rotate as well. The rotation facilitates the painting robot 5 to paint the block. After the painting is completed, the painting robot 5 stops running, and the first motor 2 continues to rotate, so that the slider 7 carries the block into the designated position of the curing area 103. At this time, the second motor 801 starts to drive the block to rotate. After curing by the UV lamp in the curing area 103, the block is removed. The first motor 2 is controlled to reverse, so that the slider 7 returns to the clamping area 101 to clamp the next block to be painted.

[0047] When the clamp 908 needs to be replaced, the operator presses down on both clamping plates 906 simultaneously, causing the limiting groove 907 to disengage from the locking teeth 903, thereby removing the connecting seat 904 and the clamp 908. A new connecting seat 904 is then installed, fitted with a clamp that can accommodate the block to be sprayed. At this point, the operator presses down on both clamping plates 906 on the connecting seat 904, causing the clamping plates 906 to compress the spring 905. The connecting seat 904 is then inserted into the mounting groove 902. After the connecting seat 904 is flush with the top of the connector 901, the clamping plates 906 are released. Under the elastic force of the spring 905, the limiting groove 907 on one side of the clamping plate 906 engages with the locking teeth 903, thus completing the installation and fixing of the connecting seat 904 and the connector 901. After installing the clamping components 9 at one end of the rotating rod 802 and the rotating shaft 805, the distance between the two clamping components 9 is adjusted by controlling the hydraulic cylinder 803 to facilitate the clamping of the block to be sprayed.

[0048] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
