Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spray gun control, and in particular to a spray gun control mechanism and a spray gun. Background Technology

[0002] In manufacturing, coating is a crucial step, enhancing not only the appearance of products but also their weather resistance, corrosion resistance, and UV resistance. Coating processes in manufacturing are mainly divided into automated spraying using industrial robots and traditional manual spraying.

[0003] Industrial robot automated spraying employs advanced spraying technology and a precise control system, ensuring uniform coating thickness, eliminating missed areas, and providing stable and reliable coating quality. Furthermore, industrial robot spraying enables automated and continuous production, significantly improving efficiency and shortening production cycles. It can also be programmed to meet the spraying needs of different products, offering strong adaptability and high flexibility. Automated industrial robot spraying also reduces worker exposure to harmful coatings, lowering occupational disease risks, making operation safer, and minimizing accidents caused by human error. Traditional manual spraying is manually operated, requiring operators to hold spray guns. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also makes it difficult to guarantee coating quality and uniformity, posing safety hazards and emission issues. With the continuous development of science and technology, automated robot spraying is gradually replacing manual spraying, becoming an important means of modern industrial intelligence.

[0004] Industrial robot automated spraying and traditional manual spraying use two different types of spray guns with different principles, structures, and operating methods: automatic spray guns and handheld spray guns. Automatic spray guns operate without human intervention, controlled by a control cabinet, and are generally suitable for automated coating lines or robotic arms. Handheld spray guns, on the other hand, require constant human operation; they are held by hand. Key points for operating a handheld spray gun include: spray gun movement speed, trigger control, gun distance, and grip posture. The paint flow rate of a handheld spray gun is controlled by the trigger; the deeper the trigger is pulled, the greater the paint flow.

[0005] Automated spraying for industrial robots requires automatic spray guns. Commercially available automatic spray guns are relatively expensive compared to manual spray guns and require components such as proportional valves to control paint flow, resulting in higher costs. Manual spray guns require manual control of the trigger's pressure, making them difficult to apply to automated industrial robot spraying. The challenge lies in controlling the trigger's pressure, as there is no readily available actuator to achieve this. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is a spray gun control mechanism, comprising:

[0008] Clamping part, the clamping part being used to clamp the spray gun;

[0009] A motor control unit, a wrench for squeezing or releasing the spray gun, is mounted on one side of the clamping unit.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping part includes a first clamping plate, a second clamping plate perpendicularly connected to the first clamping plate, and a third clamping plate connected to the first clamping plate via a connecting post.

[0011] The control handle portion of the spray gun is fixed between the first clamping plate and the third clamping plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the first clamping plate is provided with a first pin and a second pin for fixing the top of the spray gun, the rear of the first clamping plate is provided with a third pin for fixing the rear of the spray gun, and the front end of the first clamping plate is provided with a fourth pin for fixing the end of the spray gun handle.

[0016] Furthermore, the lead screw mechanism includes a lead screw and an operating handle, one end of which is connected to the end of the lead screw, and the other end of which is mounted on the spray gun trigger.

[0017] When the motor is rotated under control, the lead screw moves linearly, and the operating handle set on the lead screw moves accordingly, thereby squeezing or releasing the wrench of the spray gun.

[0018] Furthermore, the motor is a through-type motor.

In some applications, it can replace the automatic spray gun, thereby reducing operating costs. A through-type motor provides rotational power, and a lead screw mechanism is installed on the motor rotor. When the motor rotor rotates, it drives the lead screw to move back and forth, realizing the control of the press depth of the spray gun trigger. A simple external mechanism is set to prevent the lead screw from rotating with the motor rotor; if the lead screw rotates, it cannot move back and forth. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Clamping part 100, the clamping part 100 is used to clamp the spray gun 300;

[0033] A motor control unit 200 is used to squeeze or release a wrench on the spray gun 300, and the motor control unit 200 is mounted on one side of the clamping part 100.

[0034] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the spray gun control mechanism, by adding a mechanical mechanism driven by a motor 210 to the manual spray gun 300, enables the trigger of the manual spray gun 300 to automatically control the depth of the press, thus allowing the manual spray gun 300 to be applied to industrial robot automatic spraying equipment. In some applications, it can replace the automatic spray gun 300, thereby reducing the cost of use. A through-type motor 210 provides rotational power, and a lead screw mechanism 220 is installed on the rotor of the motor 210. When the rotor of the motor 210 rotates, it drives the lead screw 221 to move back and forth, thereby controlling the pressing depth of the spray gun 300 trigger. An external simple mechanism is set to prevent the lead screw 221 from rotating with the rotor of the motor 210; if the lead screw 221 rotates, it cannot move back and forth.

[0035] Furthermore, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The clamping part 100 includes a first clamping plate 110, a second clamping plate 120 perpendicularly connected to the first clamping plate 110, and a third clamping plate 130 connected to the first clamping plate 110 via a connecting post.

[0036] The control handle portion of the spray gun 300 is fixed between the first clamping plate 110 and the third clamping plate 130.
