[0002] Originally meaning dolls or statues, the term "figure" has expanded to encompass a wide range of objects with the development of figure culture, including models of cars, buildings, plants, insects, ancient creatures, and even fantastical objects. Figures are mostly made using molds. After demolding, they typically need to be painted to make them look better and more realistic. Currently, figure painting often involves assembly lines that sequentially spray-paint different colors onto the figures. While this method achieves a certain level of color, the painting equipment is usually quite large, and the figures are typically transported over long distances, making it difficult to achieve comprehensive painting within a short timeframe.

[0021] In this embodiment, by providing a motor chamber 120, a coloring chamber 130, and a liquid storage chamber 140 on the support frame 110, space can be saved to a certain extent, making full use of the space of the support frame 110. In this embodiment, the support frame 110 is also provided with an openable door and a partition for sealing its surroundings. When coloring the figure, the door can be closed, so that the support component 100 can be in or nearly in a sealed state when coloring the figure.

[0022] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the waste liquid collection module 170 includes a waste liquid collection tank 171 and a drain pipe 172; the outer peripheral surface of the waste liquid collection tank 171 is connected to the support frame 110; the output end of the second drive motor 220 is connected to the waste liquid collection tank 171; and the drain pipe 172 is connected to the waste liquid collection tank 171.

[0023] In this embodiment, by setting up a waste liquid collection module 170, liquid pigment can be collected to a certain extent, and excess liquid pigment in the coloring chamber 130 can be discharged from the coloring chamber 130. It can be imagined that, since some pigment will inevitably not be sprayed onto the figure during the process of the nozzle 330 spraying pigment, by setting up a waste liquid collection box 171, pigment can be collected to a certain extent, and by setting up a drain pipe 172, the coloring chamber 130 can be connected to the outside, and excess pigment can be discharged from the drain pipe 172.

[0024] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the waste liquid collection tank 171 includes a tank body 1711, a shaft hole 1712, and a partition 1713; the shaft hole 1712 extends from one end face of the tank body 1711 to the other end face along the thickness direction; the circumferential surface of the tank body 1711 is connected to the support frame 110; the partition 1713 protrudes outward along the circumferential direction of the shaft hole 1712 towards the end of the tank body 1711 away from the first drive motor 210; the drain pipe 172 is connected to the tank body 1711.

[0025] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 6As shown, the positioning module 160 includes multiple positioning posts 161, positioning rings 162, and multiple retaining rings 163.

[0026] In this embodiment, the number of retaining rings 163 can be set according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different pigments.

[0027] In some embodiments of this utility model, the outer peripheral surface of the plunger 314 is sanded.

[0028] In this embodiment, by frosting the plug, a certain degree of gas exchange can be achieved between the chamber inside the liquid storage tank 311 and the outside. This prevents the negative pressure inside the chamber from becoming too high when the pump body 320 pumps out the pigment, thus avoiding affecting the pumping out of the pigment and causing uneven coloring of the figurine. In this embodiment, the shape of the plunger can be set according to actual needs, ensuring that it can be firmly connected to the liquid inlet pipe 312 while blocking it.

[0029] In some embodiments of this utility model, a drain groove is provided on the end face of the turntable 250 away from the second drive motor 220; the drain groove is recessed inward from the end face of the turntable 250 away from the second drive motor 220; the drain groove penetrates the circumference of the turntable 250.

[0030] In this embodiment, by setting multiple drainage channels on the turntable 250, the pigment falling onto the turntable 250 can be discharged into the waste liquid collection box 171, thereby ensuring the turntable 250 remains as dry as possible.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The figure is placed in the predetermined position on the turntable 250 according to the predetermined requirements. According to the requirements of the figure's coloring, the corresponding pump 320 is selected and turned on from the controller. The paint is sprayed out from the corresponding nozzle 330. Then, according to the coloring requirements, the controller controls the first drive motor 210 and / or the second drive motor 220 to work, so that the figure moves up and down or rotates along the predetermined trajectory, thereby achieving the coloring of the figure. After the coloring is completed, the controller turns off the corresponding pump 320, as well as the first drive motor 210 and the second drive motor 220.

[0032] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific examples of implementing this disclosure, and in practical applications, various changes can be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure.
