Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic powder cleaning system for mixed-line hub bolt holes and a combined powder cleaning gun. The powder cleaning system comprises a control system, a recognition system, a powder cleaning robot, a gun storage and an accessory device. A plurality of combined powder spraying guns are arranged in the gun storage, and a quick disassembly fixture is arranged at the end of the powder cleaning robot. The powder cleaning system adopts robot programming and hub recognition technologies; according to the sizes of different hub bolt holes, ball sockets and platforms as well as product standards, the robot automatically and quickly selects different types of combined powder cleaning guns; after powder spraying under the condition that the hub is not provided with protectors, the head of the central gun barrel absorbs powder at the bolt hole, and the ball socket and platform gun barrel absorbs powder at the ball socket and platform of the bolt hole; protective small plugs for bolt holes are replaced by the powder cleaning gun, so that a large number of small plugs are avoided, the production cost is reduced, and the environmental pollution caused by paint drop of the small plugs is prevented; and the absorbed powder can be reused, so that the automatic powder cleaning system and the combined powder cleaning gun conform to the green, lean and automatic development process of modern enterprises.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

the combined gun body includes front and rear combined units, each combined unit includes a front splicing section and a rear powder absorbing section, the diameter of the powder absorbing section is greater than that of the splicing section for each of the combined units, a powder absorbing through hole is formed in the center of each combined unit, and the powder absorbing section of each combined unit is provided with a powder absorbing hole;
the diameters of the splicing section and the powder absorbing section of the rear combined unit are respectively greater than those of the splicing section and the powder absorbing section of the front combined unit;
an internal threaded hole is formed in a front end of the powder absorbing through hole of each combined unit, and an external threaded section is formed at a tail end of each combined unit;
the gun barrel comprises a central gun barrel and a ball socket and platform gun barrel, a tail of the central gun barrel is connected with the splicing section of the front combined unit, a tail of the ball socket and platform gun barrel is connected with the splicing section of the rear combined unit, a head of the central gun barrel protrudes out of a head of the ball socket and platform gun barrel, dense micro holes are formed in a side wall of the head of the central gun barrel, and two small plugs are provided to plug the powder absorbing hole of the rear combined unit.

2. The combined automatic powder cleaning gun as described in claim 1 , characterized in that
the internal threaded hole and the external threaded section of each combined unit adopt mutually matched sizes,
the sizes of the internal threaded hole of the front combined unit and the size of the internal threaded hole of the rear combined unit are completely the same, and
the size of the external threaded section of the front combined unit and the size of the external threaded section of the rear combined unit are completely same.

3. The combined automatic powder cleaning gun as described in claim 1 , characterized in that
the powder absorbing hole of the powder absorbing section of the front combined unit is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the front combined unit, and is intersected with the powder absorbing through hole of the front combined unit; and
the powder absorbing hole of the powder absorbing section of the rear combined unit is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the rear combined unit, and is intersected with the powder absorbing through hole of the rear combined unit.

4. The combined automatic powder cleaning gun as described in claim 1 , characterized in that
each combined unit has a sealing section formed adjacent to the internal threaded hole, and
a sealing ring is installed between a rear end face of the external threaded section of the front combined unit and the sealing section of the rear combined unit.
