Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of paint application equipment, specifically relating to a paint application device with an easily positioned rod. Background Technology
[0002] In the painting process of rods (fishing rods, trekking poles, ski poles), the painting workers are exhausted, covered in paint, and spend all day facing the paint at close range, resulting in low efficiency, inconsistent product quality, and increased production costs. Furthermore, because the paint fumes are toxic, prolonged painting work poses health risks. While some specialized painting equipment has replaced manual painting, greatly improving efficiency, current equipment suffers from significant alignment errors when inserting the rod into the center hole of the paint box (paint bucket), especially for long rods. This can damage the paint bucket and affect the painting effect. Additionally, the rotating paint bucket is relatively fixed on the frame, and its central axis is aligned with the central axis of the rod on the rod clamp. The rod is held by the clamp on the three-axis linkage base, and the movement of the base inserts the rod into the paint bucket. However, after the painting process is complete, the rod cannot be directly placed onto the transfer vehicle. Furthermore, due to the limitation of operating space, it is impossible to add a cleaning structure for the rotating paint bucket pull-out rubber sheet. Utility Model Content

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0019] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0020] For ease of description, when the paint box is in a horizontal position, the axis of the center hole of the pull-out rubber (i.e., the initial direction of the rod insertion into the pull-out rubber) is the X-axis, the direction of the paint box's forward and backward movement is the Y-axis, and the direction of the paint box's height is the Z-axis. See also Figures 1-3 A paint-pulling device with an easily positioned rod includes a paint box 1 and a paint box motor 2 that drives the paint box 1 to rotate. A rod positioning guide device 7 is provided on the side of the paint box 1 where it enters the rod. The rod positioning guide device 7 includes a central circular hole guide mechanism 71, which includes a first circular hole guide claw 711 and a second circular hole guide claw 712. The first circular hole guide claw 711 and the second circular hole guide claw 712 are respectively connected to the piston rods at both ends of the cylinder of the guide cylinder A713. The first circular hole guide claw 711 and the second circular hole guide claw 712 move synchronously in both directions. The guide cylinder A713 is mounted on a first movable bracket 714, which moves along the Y-axis. The central axis of the guide hole formed by the first circular hole guide claw 711 and the second circular hole guide claw 712 is consistent with the central axis of the central hole of the pull-out rubber 11 when the paint box 1 is in a horizontal state. The rod that moves and translates along the X-axis passes through the guide hole and then inserts into the central hole of the pull-out rubber 11 and enters the paint box 1. Keeping the central axis of the guide hole aligned with the central axis of the center hole of the pull-out rubber 11 when the paint box 1 is horizontal can improve the accuracy of inserting the rod into the center hole of the pull-out rubber 11 and reduce damage to the pull-out rubber 11 during the insertion process.
[0021] The paint box 1 and paint box motor 2 are mounted on the paint box module adapter plate 3. The adapter plate 3 has a central gripper mechanism 5 located on one side of the paint box 1. The central gripper mechanism 5 includes a left auxiliary central gripper 51, a right auxiliary central gripper 52, and a central gripper cylinder 53 that drives the opening and closing of the left and right auxiliary central grippers 51 and 52. The central gripper mechanism 5 has a liftable paint box guide wheel 6 on the side away from the paint box 1. The lifting of the paint box guide wheel 6 can be achieved using a cylinder or adjusting screw. The function of the central gripper mechanism 5 and the paint box guide wheel 6 is to support and limit the movement of the rod.
[0022] The paint box module adapter plate 3 moves along the Y-axis under the drive of the Y-axis moving mechanism 4. The paint box 1 remains horizontal in the initial position and rotates and tilts at the end position, allowing the robotic arm to grip the rod and pull the paint. The Y-axis moving mechanism 4 includes a base A41, on which a lead screw 43 driven by a motor A42 is mounted. A slide 44 is mounted on the lead screw 43, and the paint box module adapter plate 3 is connected to the slide 44. The movement of the paint box 1 along the Y-axis allows the rod to enter and exit the paint box 1 at different workstations, providing space for the installation of devices for rod cleaning and cleaning of the rubber sheet 11, and also providing more operating space for the robotic arm to pull the paint and place the rod after it has been pulled.
[0023] The rod positioning and guiding device 7 also includes an auxiliary guiding mechanism 72 located at the end of the paint box 1. The auxiliary guiding mechanism 72 includes auxiliary grippers A721 and B722. Auxiliary grippers A721 and B722 are respectively connected to the piston rods at both ends of the cylinder of the auxiliary cylinder 723. Auxiliary grippers A721 and B722 move synchronously in both directions. The auxiliary cylinder 723 is connected to an auxiliary cylinder shifting cylinder 727. The auxiliary cylinder shifting cylinder 727 is mounted on the second moving bracket. The auxiliary cylinder shifting cylinder 727 is used to control the movement of the auxiliary cylinder 723 in the X direction to adjust the position of auxiliary grippers A721 and B722 in the X direction to ensure smooth gripping of the rod. The second movable support moves along the Y-axis. The central axes of the auxiliary grippers A721 and B722 are aligned with the central axis of the center hole of the pull-out rubber 11 when the paint box 1 is in a horizontal state. The auxiliary grippers A721 and B722 clamp the rod located outside the paint box 1. The auxiliary guide mechanism 72 facilitates the robotic arm to clamp the rod that is protruding from the outside of the paint box 1.
[0024] A first support slide rail 716 and a second support slide rail 725 are provided on the base plate 73 of the guide mechanism. The first support slider 715 moves along the first support slide rail 716, and the second support slider 725 moves along the second support slide rail 725. The first moving support 714 and the second support 724 are respectively connected to the first support slider 715 and the second support slider 725. The first support and the second support 724 are respectively connected to the piston rods at both ends of the shift cylinder A74. The shift cylinder A74 is provided with two switches to control the movement of the first support and the second support 724, thereby adjusting the relative position of the central circular hole guide mechanism 71 and the auxiliary guide mechanism 72 with the central hole of the paint box 1 pull-out rubber 11.
[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
