Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plate coating technology, and in particular to an intelligent coating line for plates. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, sheet metal coating is mainly divided into two methods: horizontal coating and vertical coating. Vertical coating is favored by manufacturers because it can coat both ends of the sheet in one go without causing excessive material dripping down the sheet.
[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent application number 202411608433.5 discloses a vertical coating device for sheet metal. The device uses a blank area to prevent coating from being caught during clamping, facilitating transfer. However, this solution has the following drawbacks: the sheet metal lifting module, which sends the sheet metal into the oven after coating, has a structure that only involves lifting and rotating movements. This means that when clamping the sheet metal into the oven, alignment issues can easily lead to multiple clamping attempts, affecting efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention addresses the problems of existing technologies by providing an intelligent coating line for boards, which can improve the flexibility of transferring boards and thus improve clamping efficiency.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model provides an intelligent coating line for a board, including a coating device, a transfer device, and an oven. The coating device is used to coat the upright board.
[0007] The transfer device includes a robot, a clamping base, a drive mechanism mounted on the clamping base, and two clamping plates. The clamping base is mounted on the robot, and the drive mechanism is used to drive the two clamping plates to move closer or further apart from each other. The transfer device is used to pick up the upright plates from the coating device and transfer them to the drying oven.
[0008] The oven is used to dry the coated panels.
[0009] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes two driving modules, each corresponding to one of the two clamping plates. Each driving module includes a driving motor, a transmission structure, and a driving screw. The driving screw is rotatably mounted on the clamping plate seat. The driving motor drives the driving screw through the transmission structure, and the clamping plates are screwed to the driving screw.
[0010] Furthermore, the clamping plate includes a tilting cylinder, a first clamping member, and a second clamping member.

The first clamping member and the second clamping member cooperate to clamp the plate.
[0011] Furthermore, a mounting base is provided between the clamping plate and the clamping plate seat. The mounting base includes a sliding part and two clamping parts respectively installed at both ends of the same side of the sliding part. The sliding part is screwed to the drive screw, and the two clamping parts are spaced apart.

[0016] Furthermore, the coating apparatus includes a plate feeding mechanism, a coating driving mechanism, a coating clamping mechanism, and two coating mechanisms with a gap between them. The coating driving mechanism is used to drive the two coating mechanisms to move closer or further apart from each other. The coating clamping mechanism is located below the gap and is used to clamp the vertically placed plate and drive the plate to move along the axial direction of the coating mechanism to adjust the relative position of the plate and the coating mechanism. The plate feeding mechanism is used to transfer the plate to the coating clamping mechanism and to transfer the coated plate to the transfer device.
[0017] Furthermore, the coating mechanism includes a coating roller, a coating rotation module, a paint holder, and a scraper module.

Detailed Implementation
[0030] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present invention provides an intelligent coating line for a board, including a coating device 1, a transfer device 2, and an oven 3. The coating device 1 is used to coat the upright board 4.
[0032] The transfer device 2 includes a robot 21, a clamping base 22, a drive mechanism 23 both disposed on the clamping base 22, and two clamping plates 24. The clamping base 22 is mounted on the robot 21, and the drive mechanism 23 is used to drive the two clamping plates 24 to move closer or further away from each other. The transfer device 2 is used to pick up the upright plates 4 from the coating device 1 and transfer them to the drying oven 3.
[0033] The oven 3 is used to dry the coated plates 4.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the robot 21 in this embodiment is a multi-axis robot 21, which can pick up the board 4 and drive the board 4 to perform movements with higher degrees of freedom, including but not limited to flipping and linear movement. On this basis, after the transfer device 2 picks up the coated board 4 from the coating device 1 and transfers the board 4 into the oven 3, it can adjust the posture and position of the board 4 according to the specific position and posture of the structure holding the board 4 in the oven 3 (as shown by the board clamp 36), thereby increasing the success rate of clamping the board 4 with the board clamp 36 in the oven 3 at one time, and thus effectively improving the overall work efficiency.
[0035] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 23 includes two driving modules 230, and the two driving modules 230 are respectively arranged with two clamping plates 24. The driving module 230 includes a driving motor 231, a transmission structure 232 and a driving screw 233. The driving screw 233 is rotatably disposed on the clamping plate seat 22. The driving motor 231 is driven and connected to the driving screw 233 through the transmission structure 232. The clamping plate 24 is screwed to the driving screw 233.
[0036] Each clamping plate 24 is driven by a drive motor 231. Specifically, the drive motor 231 controls the drive screw 233 to rotate, which in turn drives the clamping plate seat 22 screwed to the drive screw 233 to move back and forth, thereby finely adjusting the position of the clamping plate 24.
[0037] In this embodiment, the transmission structure 232 for prime numbers is preferably a belt drive structure installed inside the housing.
[0038] Specifically, the clamping plate 24 includes a tilting cylinder 241, a first clamping member 242 and a second clamping member 243. The first clamping member 242 is disposed on the piston rod of the tilting cylinder 241, and the second clamping member 243 is installed on the tilting cylinder 241 or the clamping plate seat 22. The first clamping member 242 and the second clamping member 243 cooperate to clamp the plate 4.
[0039] The piston rod of the tilting cylinder 241 has two actions: extension and rotation. Typically, it extends and retracts first, and then rotates while extending and retracting to a certain extent. The second clamping member 243 is fixedly mounted on the tilting cylinder 241 or the clamping plate seat 22, while the first clamping member 242 is mounted on the piston of the tilting cylinder 241 and is driven by the piston rod. When clamping is needed, the robot 21 moves the clamping plate 24 to the end of the plate 4 where the second clamping member 243 abuts. Then, the tilting cylinder 241 actuates, controlling the first clamping member 242 to move towards the second clamping member 243 and then tilt, using the cooperation of the first and second clamping members 242 to clamp the plate 4. When releasing the plate 4, the first clamping member 242 tilts and retracts simultaneously, causing the first clamping member 242 to misalign with the plate 4, avoiding interference with subsequent movement of the plate 4.
[0040] Specifically, a mounting base 25 is provided between the clamping plate 24 and the clamping plate seat 22. The mounting base 25 includes a sliding part 251 and two clamping parts 252 respectively installed at both ends of the same side of the sliding part 251. The sliding part 251 is screwed to the drive screw 233, and the two clamping parts 252 are spaced apart. There are two clamping plates 24, and the two clamping plates 24 are installed one-to-one with the two clamping parts 252.
[0041] By setting the mounting base 25, a certain position is provided between the two clamping plates 24, achieving a more stable clamping effect on the plate 4.
[0042] In this embodiment, the oven 3 is provided with a drying device 31, a drying drive mechanism 32, and at least one clamping mechanism 33. The drying device 31 is used to control the temperature and / or humidity changes inside the oven 3. The drying drive mechanism 32 is used to drive at least one clamping mechanism 33 to move inside the oven 3. The clamping mechanism 33 is used to clamp the plate 4.
[0043] In practical applications, the drying device 31 is a conventional device, which will not be described in detail here. The drying drive mechanism 32 drives the clamping mechanism 33 to move, so that the clamping mechanism 33 carries the plate 4 through the drying oven 3 and then moves to the position to clamp the plate 4, thus realizing the effect of automated drying.
[0044] Specifically, the drying drive mechanism 32 includes a drying motor, a drying chain 34, and several drying wheels. The drying wheels support the drying chain 34 and drive the drying chain 34 to rotate. The drying motor drives the drying wheels to rotate. The clamping mechanism 33 is installed on the drying chain 34.
[0045] The drying drive mechanism 32 of this invention utilizes a drying motor to drive the drying chain 34 to rotate, thereby moving the clamping mechanism 33 installed on the drying chain 34. The drying chain 34 forms a closed-loop structure, achieving the return of the transmission plate 4 and the clamping mechanism 33.
[0046] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 33 includes a mounting beam 35 and at least two clamps 36. The mounting beam 35 is mounted on the drying chain 34. The clamps 36 include a clamping body 361, clamping members 362 that are all mounted on the frame, a connecting rod structure 363, and an adjusting member 364. The clamping body 361 is mounted on the mounting beam 35. The adjusting member 364 is connected to the clamping member 362 through the connecting rod structure 363. A torsion spring 365 is provided between the adjusting member 364 and the clamping body 361. The clamping member 362 cooperates with the clamping body 361 to clamp the plate 4.
[0047] The torsion spring 365 forces the adjusting member 364 to have an outward movement tendency relative to the clamping body 361, so that the clamping member 362 always has a movement tendency to clamp inward toward the clamping body 361. When the plate 4 is transferred to the plate clamp 36, the force of the torsion spring 365 can stably clamp the plate 4, so that the plate 4 is vertically suspended in the oven 3 for transmission.
[0048] Specifically, the clamp 36 is further provided with a fixing contact 366, which is positioned opposite to the clamp 362. A pawl 367 is provided at the end of the clamp 362 facing the fixing contact 366. The fixing contact 366 and the clamp 362 cooperate to hold the plate 4, while the pawl 367 increases the clamping stability of the plate 4.
[0049] Specifically, the clamp 361 is provided with a limiting member 368, which is used to abut against one side of the connecting rod structure 363, so that under the control of the adjusting member 364 and the abutment of the limiting member 368, the connecting rod structure 363 drives the clamp 362 to flip and move closer to or away from the fixed abutment member 366, thereby achieving the effect of releasing or clamping the plate 4.
[0050] In this embodiment, the coating apparatus 1 includes a plate feeding mechanism, a coating driving mechanism 2311, a coating clamping mechanism 3312, and two coating mechanisms 13. There is a gap between the two coating mechanisms 13. The coating driving mechanism 2311 is used to drive the two coating mechanisms 13 to move closer or further away from each other. The coating clamping mechanism 3312 is located below the gap. The coating clamping mechanism 3312 is used to clamp the vertically placed plate 4 and drive the plate 4 to move along the axial direction of the coating mechanism 13 to adjust the relative position of the plate 4 and the coating mechanism 13. The plate feeding mechanism is used to transfer the plate 4 to the coating clamping mechanism 3312 and to transfer the coated plate 4 to the transfer device 2.
[0051] Specifically, the coating mechanism 13 includes a coating roller 131, a coating rotation module 132, a paint holder 133, and a scraper module 134. The coating rotation module 132 is used to drive the coating roller 131 to rotate. The paint holder 133 is used to load paint. The coating roller 131 is coated with paint in the paint holder 133 and then coated onto the board 4. The coating roller 131 is used to contact the board 4 to coat it and to apply an upward driving force to the board 4 during the coating process.
[0052] The scraping module 134 includes a scraper seat 1341, a scraper 1342, and a scraping drive 1343 for driving the scraper seat 1341 to move back and forth. The scraper 1342 is detachably installed on the scraper seat 1341, and the width of the end of the scraper 1342 away from the scraper seat 1341 gradually decreases from top to bottom.
[0053] The coating apparatus 1 in this embodiment is basically similar to the vertical coating of the prior art, which is obvious to those skilled in the art and will not be described further here. However, the difference between this embodiment and the prior art is that the scraper 1342 and the scraper seat 1341 are detachably connected. This allows the scraper 1342 to be replaced according to the material of the plate 4, so that the scraper 1342 can be adapted to the plate 4 without scratching the plate 4.
[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
