Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of coating equipment technology, and in particular relates to a bracket for coating equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Coating equipment brackets are key auxiliary tools in the coating process, mainly used to stably support workpieces to be coated, such as car bodies and metal components, ensuring accurate workpiece positioning and uniform coating during coating operations. These brackets are flexibly designed to adapt to various workpiece sizes and shapes, improving the versatility and efficiency of the production line. They are easy to integrate with handling equipment and automated conveyor systems, such as using forklifts for handling or suspending them on conveyor chains, enabling rapid transfer and processing of workpieces, promoting mixed-line production, and improving production flexibility. Structurally, coating brackets emphasize practicality and simplicity, facilitating worker operation and maintenance, while meeting the needs of efficient production and cost control. They are important components for ensuring coating operation quality and accelerating production cycle.

[0003] The problems with the aforementioned technology are as follows: the brackets used in current coating equipment lack sufficient clamping support. The first direct problem is that the workpiece is prone to unnecessary displacement during the coating process. This unintended movement not only results in uneven coating distribution, creating a mottled or uneven surface effect, damaging the aesthetics and protective performance of the coating layer, but also reveals a large number of coating defects during subsequent inspections, necessitating time-consuming and laborious repair work, significantly increasing rework costs and time. The instability of the workpiece may also slow down the flow rate of the production line. Frequent manual adjustments and repositioning greatly reduce the overall operating efficiency, failing to fully utilize the high-speed operation advantages of automated equipment. The interruption and disruption of the production line rhythm is undoubtedly a huge waste of production capacity potential, affecting the company's market responsiveness and competitiveness. Furthermore, the repeated coating requirements caused by workpiece displacement not only consume more paint resources but also exacerbate the energy and environmental burden. The additional spraying steps mean more solvent evaporation and treatment costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a bracket for coating equipment that can overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a bracket for coating equipment includes a mounting plate, an operating plate, and a main body. The upper end of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the main body, and one side of the main body is fixedly connected to the surface of the operating plate. The feature is that a clamping device is provided at the upper end of the main body, and fixing mechanisms are provided on both sides of the clamping device.

[0006] The clamping device is used to limit the position of the coating equipment;

[0007] The fixing mechanism is used to fix the coating setup.

[0008] To improve the clamping effect, preferably, the clamping device includes a belt, bearing bracket, motor, screw, limiting groove, slider, and clamping plate. The main body has an internal cavity. The surface of the motor is fixedly connected to the surface of the cavity. The output end of the motor is meshed with the surface of the belt. One end of the belt is meshed with the middle surface of the screw. The surface of the screw is slidably connected to the surfaces of the two sliders. The upper ends of the two sliders are fixedly connected to the lower surfaces of the two clamping plates. The surface of the screw is rotatably connected to the surfaces of the two bearing brackets. The main body surface has a limiting groove. By setting the meshing connection between the motor and the belt, energy loss can be reduced during power transmission. Simultaneously, the belt has the advantages of low price and easy replacement, and can play a crucial role in... The design facilitates maintenance by incorporating a screw with opposing threads on its surface. This allows for simultaneous control of two sliders with a single screw, effectively reducing manufacturing costs. The sliders, sliding on the screw surface, move the clamping plates, ensuring both plates maintain the same speed for clamping the parts to be coated. This ensures even force distribution on the parts, preventing damage. Limiting grooves restrict the slider's position and direction of movement. The clamping plates provide quick and secure clamping of the parts. A bearing bracket supports the screw and connects to it via bearings, reducing friction during rotation and extending service life.

[0009] To improve the efficiency of fixing, preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a limiting block, a fixing groove, a support rod, a support sleeve, a spring, a baffle, a fixing block, and a support ring. The surface of the support sleeve is slidably connected to the surface of the support rod, the surface of the support rod is slidably connected to the surface of the spring, the lower end of the spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the baffle, the lower end surface of the support rod is slidably connected to the surfaces of several fixing blocks, the lower surfaces of several fixing blocks are slidably connected to the upper surface of the support ring through a sliding groove, the surface of the support rod is fixedly connected to the surfaces of two limiting blocks, and the upper end of the support sleeve has a fixing groove. By setting the spring, a rebound force can be applied to the surface of the support rod, which can quickly reset the support rod. The baffle can fix the position of the spring and regulate the spring's movement. Springs provide support to prevent malfunctions caused by spring misalignment. Limiting blocks, in conjunction with fixed grooves, fix the position of the support rods, preventing movement during fixing and potential malfunctions. The support rods, via ramps at their lower ends, press several fixed blocks outwards and contact the connection points with the fixed plates, thus fixing the plate's position. Support sleeves secure and support internal components, preventing misalignment. Support rings, connected to sliding grooves, limit the movement of fixed blocks, allowing them to move according to the groove's position. Elastic blocks within the grooves allow the fixed blocks to return to their original position when the support rods are no longer pressing them, ready for the next operation.

[0010] To improve operational stability, preferably, the lower end of the bearing bracket is fixedly connected to the cavity surface, the lower surfaces of the two clamping plates are slidably connected to the upper surface of the main body, and the surfaces of the two sliders are slidably connected to the surface of the limiting groove. By fixing the lower end of the bearing bracket to the internal cavity of the main body, the vibration generated during the operation of the screw can be reduced, making the device operate more smoothly. By fixing the upper end of the spring to the support rod, the support rod can be rebounded in time.

[0011] To improve work efficiency, preferably, the surface of the baffle is fixedly connected to the surface of the support sleeve, the upper end of the spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod, and the surface of the fixing groove is slidably connected to the surface of the limiting block. By fixing the baffle to the surface of the support sleeve, the position of the spring can be supported. By sliding the limiting block on the surface of the fixing groove, the position of the support rod can be fixed by rotating the support rod. This can reduce operation steps and improve work efficiency.

[0012] For better fixation, preferably, the clamping plate is provided with fixing plates at both ends, the surfaces of the two fixing plates are fixedly connected to the two side surfaces of the clamping plate, and the front end of the two fixing plates is provided with a movable plate. The surface of the movable plate is rotatably connected to the surface of the support sleeve, the surface of the support sleeve is fixedly connected to the surface of the clamping plate, and the surface of the fixing block is in contact with one side surface of the movable plate. The fixing plates can limit the angle of movement of the movable plate, which can better clamp the spraying equipment. The movable plate can be adjusted to better fit and fix parts of different sizes that need to be coated by adjusting the angle between it and the clamping plate.

[0013] To improve stability during clamping, preferably, the surfaces of the two movable plates are in contact with the surface of the fixed plate, and the lower surfaces of the two movable plates are slidably connected to the upper surface of the main body. The contact between the fixed plate and the movable plates can limit the position of the movable plates, and the sliding of the movable plates on the surface of the main body can further support the movable plates.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This utility model incorporates a clamping device, a fixing mechanism, a belt, a bearing bracket, a motor, a screw, a limiting groove, a slider, a clamping plate, a limiting block, a fixing groove, a support rod, a support sleeve, a spring, a baffle, a fixing block, and a support ring. The clamping device limits the movement of the coating equipment, and the fixing mechanism secures the coating setup. The meshing connection between the motor and the belt reduces energy loss during power transmission. The belt is inexpensive and easy to replace, facilitating maintenance. The screw with opposing threads allows one screw to control the movement of two sliders simultaneously, effectively reducing manufacturing costs. The slider moves the clamping plate as it slides across the screw surface. It effectively controls the two clamping plates to maintain the same speed when clamping the parts to be coated, ensuring uniform force on the surface of the parts and preventing damage. The limit groove restricts the position and direction of the slider movement. The clamping plates quickly clamp and fix the parts to be coated. The bearing bracket supports the screw and connects to the bearing, reducing friction during rotation and increasing service life. The spring applies a rebound force to the support rod surface, quickly resetting it. The baffle fixes and supports the spring, preventing malfunctions due to spring misalignment. Limits are also included. The blocks, when engaged with the fixing groove, secure the support rod, preventing movement and malfunctions during fixing. The support rod, with its lower ramp, presses several fixing blocks outwards, contacting the fixing plate at the connection point, thus securing the plate. Support sleeves secure and support internal components, preventing displacement. Support rings and sliding grooves limit the movement of the fixing blocks, allowing them to move according to the groove's position. Elastic blocks within the grooves allow the fixing blocks to return to their original position when the support rod is no longer pressing, ready for the next operation. This design solves the problem of insufficient clamping support in current coating equipment brackets. The first direct problem is that the workpiece is prone to unnecessary displacement during the coating process. This unintended movement not only leads to uneven coating distribution, resulting in a mottled or inconsistent surface effect, damaging the aesthetics and protective performance of the coating layer, but also reveals numerous coating defects during subsequent inspections. This necessitates time-consuming and labor-intensive repair work, significantly increasing rework costs and timelines. Workpiece instability can also slow down the production line's flow rate. Frequent manual adjustments and repositioning drastically reduce overall operational efficiency, preventing the full utilization of the high-speed operation advantages of automated equipment. Production line interruptions and disruptions to the rhythm undoubtedly represent a huge waste of production capacity potential, impacting the company's market responsiveness and competitiveness. Furthermore…The need for repeated coating due to workpiece relocation not only consumes more paint resources but also exacerbates the energy and environmental burden. Additional spraying steps mean greater solvent evaporation and associated disposal costs. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, a bracket for coating equipment provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a mounting plate 5, an operating plate 6, and a main body 7.

The clamping device 1 includes a belt 101, a bearing bracket 102, a motor 103, a screw 104, a limiting groove 105, a slider 106, and a clamping plate 107. A cavity 8 is opened inside the main body 7. The surface of the motor 103 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cavity 8, and the output end of the motor 103 is meshed with the surface of the belt 101. One end of the belt 101 is connected to the screw. The middle surface of rod 104 is engaged with the screw, and the surface of screw 104 is slidably connected to the surfaces of two sliders 106. The upper ends of the two sliders 106 are fixedly connected to the lower surfaces of two clamping plates 107. The surface of screw 104 is rotatably connected to the surfaces of two bearing brackets 102. A limit groove 105 is provided on the surface of the main body 7. By setting the meshing connection between motor 103 and belt 101, energy loss can be reduced when transmitting power. At the same time, belt 101 has the advantages of low price and easy replacement, which can facilitate maintenance. By setting screw 104 and setting opposite threads on the surface of screw 104, the movement of two sliders 106 can be controlled simultaneously by one screw 104, which can effectively reduce manufacturing costs. The 6 can drive the movement of the clamping plate 107 when sliding on the surface of the screw 104, which can effectively control the two clamping plates 107 to maintain the same speed to clamp the parts to be coated, and can evenly distribute the force on the surface of the parts to be coated, preventing damage to the parts to be coated. The limiting groove 105 can limit the position and direction of the movement of the slider 106. The clamping plate 107 can quickly clamp and fix the parts to be coated.

The surface of support sleeve 204 is slidably connected to the surface of support rod 203. The surface of support rod 203 is slidably connected to the surface of spring 205. The lower end of spring 205 is fixedly connected to the surface of baffle 206. The lower end surface of support rod 203 is slidably connected to the surfaces of several fixing blocks 207. The lower surfaces of several fixing blocks 207 are slidably connected to the upper surface of support ring 208 through a sliding groove. The surface of support rod 203 is fixedly connected to the surfaces of two limiting blocks 201. A fixing groove 202 is provided at the upper end of support sleeve 204. By setting spring 205, a rebound force can be applied to the surface of support rod 203, which can quickly reset support rod 203. The baffle 206 can fix the position of spring 205.The spring 205 is supported to prevent malfunctions caused by misalignment of the spring 205. A limiting block 201, in conjunction with the fixing groove 202, fixes the position of the support rod 203, preventing movement during fixing and potential malfunctions. The support rod 203, via a ramp at its lower end, presses several fixing blocks 207 outwards and contacts the fixing plate 3 at the connection point, thus fixing the position of the fixing plate 3. A support sleeve 204 fixes and supports various parts within the mechanism, preventing positional misalignment. A support ring 208, through a sliding groove, limits the movement of the fixing blocks 207. The device moves according to the position of the slide groove, which is equipped with an elastic block. When the fixed block 207 is not compressed by the support rod 203, it can return to its original position and wait for the next operation. The lower end of the bearing bracket 102 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cavity 8. The lower surfaces of the two clamping plates 107 are slidably connected to the upper surface of the main body 7. The surfaces of the two sliders 106 are slidably connected to the surface of the limiting groove 105. The lower end of the bearing bracket 102 is fixed to the internal cavity 8 of the main body 7, which can reduce the vibration generated during the operation of the screw 104 and make the device run more smoothly. The upper end of the spring 205 is fixed to the support rod 203, which can rebound the support rod 203 in time. The surface of the baffle 206 is connected to the support sleeve 204. The spring 205 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod 203, and the surface of the fixing groove 202 is slidably connected to the surface of the limiting block 201. The spring 205 is fixed to the surface of the support sleeve 204 via the baffle 206, thus supporting its position. The limiting block 201 slides on the surface of the fixing groove 202, and the position of the support rod 203 can be fixed by rotating it. This reduces operation steps and improves work efficiency. The clamping plate 107 has fixing plates 3 at both ends, and the surfaces of the two fixing plates 3 are fixedly connected to the side surfaces of the clamping plate 107. A movable plate 4 is provided at the front end of the two fixing plates 3, and the surface of the movable plate 4 is rotatably connected to the surface of the support sleeve 204. Next, the surface of the support sleeve 204 is fixedly connected to the surface of the clamping plate 107, and the surface of the fixing block 207 contacts one side of the movable plate 4. The fixing plate 3 restricts the angle of movement of the movable plate 4, better clamping the spraying equipment. The movable plate 4 can be adjusted at its angle to the clamping plate 107, better fitting and fixing parts of different sizes that need painting. The surfaces of the two movable plates 4 contact the surfaces of the fixing plate 3, and the lower surfaces of the two movable plates 4 are slidably connected to the upper surface of the main body 7. The contact between the fixing plate 3 and the movable plate 4 limits the position of the movable plate 4, and the sliding of the movable plate 4 on the surface of the main body 7 further supports it.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model:

[0025] In use, the bracket must first be fixed to the equipment. This can be achieved using the mounting plate 5, which stably secures the bracket to the coating equipment, providing a solid foundation for subsequent coating work. Next, the parts to be coated are placed on the surface of the bracket's main body 7. In this step, the control plate 6 plays a crucial role. The control plate 6 allows easy control of the motor 103's operation. After the motor 103 starts, the rotational energy at its output end is transmitted to the screw 104 through the meshing between the belt 101 and the screw 104. It is worth noting that the thread direction on the screw 104's surface is opposite to the thread direction on the slider 106. This design allows the two sliders 106 to move in opposite directions on the screw 104's surface. Meanwhile, the clamping plate 107 at the upper end of the slider 106, along the direction of the limiting groove 105, applies uniform force and clamps the surface of the parts to be coated at the same speed. In actual operation, it may be necessary to apply coating... If the surface of a part cannot be well fixed by the clamping plate 107, this can be solved by rotating the movable plate 4. The movable plate 4 is designed to fit both ends well with the surface of the part to be coated. After the surface of the part is fitted, simply press the support rod 203 down. As the support rod 203 moves down, the ramp at its front end will push the fixing block 207 along the groove on the surface of the support ring 208 to all sides. The connection between the movable plate 4 and the support sleeve 204 will fix the position of the movable plate 4 through compression and friction. In this way, the movable plate 4 can be stably fitted to the part to be coated. After fixing, the position of the support rod 203 can be fixed by rotating the support rod 203 so that the limiting block 201 contacts the surface of the fixing groove 202. In this way, the position of the part during the coating process can be precisely controlled. After the part to be coated is coated, simply reverse the motor 103 by operating the control plate 6 to release the part from the clamping plate 107.
