Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom cabinet processing, specifically a painting device for bathroom cabinet processing. Background Technology
[0002] In the traditional manufacturing process of panel products (especially bathroom cabinets, kitchen cabinets, and other furniture), painting is a crucial surface treatment step. Currently, the main methods for this step are as follows:
[0003] The first method is traditional manual spraying and manual flipping. In this method, workers use a spray gun to spray one side of the board. After the paint on that side is surface dry or cured, the board is manually flipped over to spray the other side. The drawbacks of this method are obvious. First, the production efficiency is low. The spraying and flipping processes rely entirely on manual labor, making continuous and streamlined operations impossible and severely restricting the overall production pace. Second, the quality consistency is poor. The thickness and uniformity of the paint film sprayed manually are difficult to guarantee. Furthermore, during manual handling and flipping, the wet paint surface is easily bumped, scratched, or contaminated by dust, resulting in a high product defect rate. Moreover, workers are exposed to an environment full of paint mist and volatile organic compounds for a long time, posing a serious threat to their health.
[0004] The second method is semi-automated spraying. To address some of the aforementioned issues, some semi-automated equipment has emerged in the industry. For example, reciprocating sprayers or robots are used to automatically spray one side of the coating, and then the panels are transported to the drying area via a conveyor line. However, the flipping of the panels and secondary loading usually still require manual assistance. While this method improves the quality and efficiency of single-sided spraying, it does not fundamentally solve the continuity problem of double-sided operations. The production process is divided into two independent single-sided spraying processes, which still suffer from problems such as cumbersome processes, large footprint, and susceptibility to damage during intermediate transfers.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a painting device that can realize automated continuous painting and non-destructive flipping of panel workpieces such as bathroom cabinet panels, so as to solve the problems of low production efficiency, unstable painting quality and easy damage to the paint surface during the flipping process in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0030] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. To better illustrate this embodiment, some parts in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product.
[0031] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that certain well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the accompanying drawings. The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a painting device for bathroom cabinet processing, which realizes double-sided spraying of bathroom cabinet board 100 and other boards.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a frame 10 as its base. A conveyor belt 20 is mounted on the frame 10 along its length for carrying and conveying the bathroom cabinet panel 100. Along the conveying path of the conveyor belt 20, a core flipping and clamping assembly 30 and a painting assembly 40 are arranged sequentially or side-by-side. To ensure a safe working environment, a filter assembly is also provided inside the cavity of the frame 10.
[0034] The painting assembly 40 is responsible for painting the bathroom cabinet panel 100. In this embodiment, it includes a multi-axis painting robot arm 41 mounted on a slide table 42. When flipping the bathroom cabinet panel, the painting robot arm 41 can avoid interference with the bathroom cabinet panel by moving its own position.
[0035] Figure 2 The process of achieving automatic workpiece flipping is demonstrated. It includes a support beam 31 located below the conveyor belt 20 and fixed to the frame 10. Two clamping arms 32 are hinged to two opposite sides of the support beam 31 via first connecting holes 321. Crucially, the first connecting holes 321 of these two clamping arms 32 are not coaxial, which provides the structural basis for the subsequent specific flipping trajectory.
[0036] To drive the movement of the clamping arms 32, a drive shaft 34 driven by a motor (not shown) is rotatably mounted on the support beam 31. A crank 341 is fixed on the drive shaft 34, and the crank 341 is hinged to a second connecting hole 322 on one of the clamping arms 32 via a drive connecting rod 342. When the drive shaft 34 rotates, the rotational motion is converted into a specific swinging motion of the clamping arms 32 through the transmission of the crank 341 and the drive connecting rod 342, thereby driving the bathroom cabinet panel 100 to complete a smooth flipping action.
[0037] Please see Figure 3 At the end of each clamping arm 32, there is a pair of movable abutment claws 33. These two abutment claws 33 are used to clamp the side of the bathroom cabinet panel 100. To achieve synchronous opening and closing, one abutment claw 33 is connected to a rack 331, and a rotatable drive gear 332 is correspondingly provided on the clamping arm 32. The rack 331 meshes with the drive gear 332. When the rack 331 is pushed, the rotation of the gear 332 drives the rack on the other abutment claw 33 to move in the opposite direction, achieving synchronous opening and closing. To prevent excessive clamping force from damaging the workpiece, a buffer cylinder 333 is also provided between the two abutment claws 33 to provide flexible cushioning and pressure. To protect the paint surface, the surface of the abutment claw 33 that contacts the workpiece is covered with a non-stick contact pad 334 made of materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene.
[0038] Inside the cavity below the frame 10, there is a filter assembly for collecting and filtering paint mist, which includes a replaceable filter cloth and an exhaust fan 5 for ventilation.
[0039] Workflow:
[0040] A-side painting: The bathroom cabinet panel 100 to be processed is placed at the entrance end of the conveyor belt 20 and enters the painting area with the conveyor belt 20. The painting assembly 40 is activated, and the painting robot arm 41 sprays the upper surface (A-side) of the panel.
[0041] Clamping and Flipping: After the bathroom cabinet panel 100 on side A has been sprayed, it continues to move forward until it reaches directly below the flipping clamping assembly 30 and is positioned by a sensor. The drive shaft 34 starts, causing one clamping arm 32 (e.g., the outer side) to swing clockwise by a certain angle (e.g., 110 degrees), lifting the bathroom cabinet panel. Meanwhile, the other clamping arm 32 (the inner side) swings counterclockwise by a certain angle (e.g., 70 degrees). When the clamping arms 32 on both sides are in their closest position, the abutment claws on both sides clamp the bathroom cabinet panel. Then, the outer clamping arm 32 releases its grip on the bathroom cabinet panel. Finally, the drive shaft 34 continues to rotate, driving the clamping arms 32 on both sides to move back to their initial swing angle, thus achieving a 180-degree flip of the bathroom cabinet panel, which is then smoothly placed back onto the conveyor belt 20.
[0042] B-side painting: After the bathroom cabinet panel 100 is flipped over, with its B-side facing upwards, the painting component 40 sprays paint its B-side.
[0043] Completed: The bathroom cabinet panel 100, which has completed double-sided spraying, is output from the end of the device and enters the next drying or unloading process.
[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
