[0002] A ball joint is a mechanical connecting part consisting of a spherical head and a cup with a grooved inner cavity. It can achieve multi-directional rotational movement and is widely used in automotive suspension, bridge engineering, precision machinery and other fields.
[0003] In the manufacturing process of ball joints, a coating needs to be applied to the surface to enhance their wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and service life. Existing ball joint surface coating equipment mainly consists of a storage tank, spray gun, fixture, transmission mechanism, drying mechanism, and control system. The control system integrates and coordinates the operation of each module. The ball joint is fixed in the fixture and transported via the transmission mechanism. Electrostatic spraying technology is used to evenly coat the surface of the ball joint with a coating, which is then dried by the drying mechanism to accelerate coating curing. Therefore, its use has the following shortcomings:
[0004] 1. There are many types of ball joint products. When clamping ball joints of different sizes, matching and adjustment are required, which is inconvenient for placement and retrieval;
[0005] 2. The area that can be coated by a single spray gun is insufficient to cover all areas of the ball joint, requiring repeated operations and resulting in low coating efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0006] I. Technical problems to be solved
[0007] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that ball joint clamping and fixing is inconvenient, painting requires repeated operations, and efficiency is low.
[0008] II. Technical Solution

[0010] Multiple connecting rods are evenly arranged along the length of the conveyor belt. A gear is rotatably provided at the upper end of the connecting rod. A second connecting rod is fixed above the gear. A detachable, open-top cylinder is provided above the second connecting rod. Opposite arc-shaped plates are provided inside the cylinder. Multiple steel wire ropes are inserted between the arc-shaped plates.
[0011] The conveyor belt is provided with a gear track that meshes with the gear. The gear track is in contact with the upper surface of the conveyor belt and is connected to a support leg at its lower end. There are two gear tracks, which are used for the gear to rotate when it moves to mesh with the gear track. One gear track is provided with a corresponding spray gun on the front side of the conveyor belt, and the other gear track is provided with a drying mechanism above the conveyor belt.
[0012] As an improvement, the upper side wall of the connecting rod 2 is provided with threads, and the lower end of the cylinder is provided with a vertical cylinder threaded onto the connecting rod 2. The diameter of the cylinder is larger than the diameter of the gear.
[0013] As an improvement, multiple steel wire ropes are provided vertically on the arc-shaped plate.
[0014] As an improvement, the number of spray guns is multiple, and one end is connected to a bendable serpentine tube, with a storage box provided between the other ends of the serpentine tube.
[0015] As an improvement, the drying mechanism includes an inverted U-shaped plate fitted over the conveyor belt, the inner wall of which is provided with a plurality of left-right oriented heating rods.
[0016] As an improvement, multiple insulating heat strips are evenly provided below the horizontal side of the U-shaped plate away from the spray gun.
[0017] III. Beneficial Effects

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] As attached Figure 1-6 As shown, a ball joint surface coating device includes a conveyor belt 1, which consists of a belt body, conveyor rollers located at both ends of the belt body, an H-shaped support frame connected to the conveyor rollers, and a motor driven by one of the conveyor rollers. The motor drives the belt body of the conveyor belt 1 to rotate. Multiple connecting rods 2 are evenly arranged along the length of the conveyor belt 1. A gear 3 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of each connecting rod 2. A second connecting rod 4 is fixedly connected above the gear 3. A detachable, uncovered part is located above the second connecting rod 4. The cylinder 5 has opposing arc-shaped plates 6 inside, and multiple steel wire ropes 7 are inserted between the arc-shaped plates 6. The steel wire ropes 7 on the arc-shaped plates 6 are arranged vertically. The steel wire ropes 7 have flexible characteristics. After ball joints of different diameters and specifications are placed between the steel wire ropes 7 in the cylinder, the length of the steel wire ropes 7 can be flexibly adjusted. The two ends of the steel wire ropes 7 are tightened to make them fit the surface of the ball joint and stably clamp the ball joint. It can be adapted to ball joints of multiple specifications, reducing the clamp adjustment time. The ball joint can be removed by pulling it upward, making it convenient to put and take out the ball joint.
[0030] The conveyor belt 1 is provided with a gear track 8 that meshes with the gear 3 on the rear side. The gear track 8 is attached to the upper surface of the conveyor belt 1 and is connected to a support leg 16 at the lower end. There are two gear tracks 8, which are used for the gear 3 to rotate when it moves to mesh with the gear track 8. One gear track 8 is provided with a corresponding spray gun 9 on the front side of the conveyor belt 1. There are multiple spray guns 9, and one end of each spray gun is connected to a bendable serpentine tube 11. The other end of the serpentine tube 11 is connected to a storage box 12. The position and direction of the spray gun 9 can be adjusted by bending the serpentine tube 11 to adapt to ball joints of different sizes. Multiple spray guns 9 work together to coat the rotating hard ball joint. The paint can be evenly adhered to the surface of the ball joint in 360°, resulting in high coating efficiency and good coating effect.
[0031] The upper side wall of the connecting rod 4 is threaded, and the lower end of the cylinder 5 is threaded with a vertical cylinder 10 that is connected to the connecting rod 4, so that the cylinder 5 can be rotated and disassembled for easy replacement. The diameter of the cylinder 5 is larger than the diameter of the gear 3, which is used to receive excess paint and reduce paint spillage that affects the rotation of the gear 3.
[0032] A drying mechanism is provided above the conveyor belt 1 corresponding to the front side of another gear track 8. The drying mechanism includes an inverted U-shaped plate 13 sleeved above the conveyor belt 1. The inner wall of the U-shaped plate 13 is provided with multiple left and right heating rods 14. The ball joint meshes with the gear 3 and another set of gear tracks 8 and rotates into the U-shaped plate 13. After the heating rods 14 are activated, each part of the ball joint can receive heat evenly, so that the coating is cured.
[0033] Furthermore, multiple insulating heat strips 15 are evenly provided below the horizontal side of the U-shaped plate 13 away from the spray gun 9, which can reduce the leakage of hot air and prevent the rapid loss of heat.
