The disclosure relates to hub paint spraying equipment equipped with a spraying robot having a combined spray gun, and relates to the field of hub spraying technology.

BACKGROUND

At present, the robot spraying technology is increasingly widely applied in the automobile hub spraying field. In the traditional production mode of spraying robots, one robot is equipped with one spray gun, hubs to be sprayed need to be classified according to the types of sprayed paints and are collectively fed, i.e., produced in batch; when needing to spray a next hub colored paint, the colored paint must be replaced. In the traditional production mode, the equipment efficiency is reduced, and massive in-process is caused by the batch feeding mode. Under current market demands for progressive small batch and customization, the traditional spraying mode already cannot meet the requirements of flexible production, so a production mode and equipment for flexible spraying are urgently needed.

The combined spray gun is installed at the top of the spraying robot and formed by fixedly installing a plurality of spray gun individuals together, the relative positions of the spray gun individuals are fixed, the paint supply device is connected with the corresponding spray gun individuals via paint supply pipelines independent from each other according to the categories of colored paints, the quick color changing device is arranged on the paint supply pipelines, and the paint supply system and the quick color changing device are connected with the control system by adopting weak current.

The control system stores models and codes of hubs to be produced as well as categories of colored paints, spraying parameters and spraying robot path programs corresponding to the hubs to be produced, and controls the following spraying process: feeding a hub to be sprayed, recognizing the model of the hub, recognizing the brace, storing wheel type information, feeding the hub to be sprayed into the spraying isolation area, reading the brace, calling the category of the colored paint and the spraying parameter, selecting a spray gun individual, calling a path program (taking one of the spray gun individuals as a zero point, automatically transforming coordinates by adopting the relative displacement between the selected spray gun individual and the zero-point spray gun individual to obtain the final path program), spraying, leaving the spray room, braking and curing, and discharging the product.

Further, the paint supply system includes mixing stations and paint supply pumps corresponding to the spray gun individuals and independent from each other; the paint feeding path starts from a mixing station, then passes a paint supply pump, a paint feeding pipe, the quick color changing device, another paint feeding pipe and goes to a spray gun individual; and the paint return path starts from the quick color changing device, then passes a paint return pipe and goes to a mixing station.

Further, the cleaning system is arranged on the quick color changing device, the combined spray gun and the paint feeding pipe between the quick color changing device and the combined spray gun; and the cleaning system path sequentially includes a cleaner tank, a diaphragm pump, a cleaner delivery pipe, the quick color changing device, the paint feeding pipe, a spray gun individual, a waste paint return branch pipe, a waste paint return main pipe and a waste paint tank.

The disclosure has the advantages: the combined spray gun is installed at the end of the spraying robot of the system, the spraying process and parameter are automatically called by automatic recognition of the wheel type recognition system, the category of the colored paint is automatically changed, the spraying parameter and the robot spraying path program are called, and mixed-line intelligent spraying of the hub is realized, so that a lot of time for replacing the colored paint is avoided, the problem of excessive in-process caused by classification and temporary storage stacking is avoided, and the system meets current market demands for progressive small batch and customization.
