Das Gehäuse der Pneumatik-Spritzdüse ist axial mittels eines Befestigungsflansches innerhalb der Drehmomenten-Stützkonstruktion so angeordnet, dass die Spritzdüse in eine um ihre Längsachse ausgerichtete Rotationsbewegung ausfuhren kann. Der Antrieb erfolgt über die Dreheinheit des Roboterarms. Zwischen der Drehmomenten-Stützkonstruktion und dem Gehäuse der Pneumatik-Spritzdüse sind zwei separat abgedichtete und von einander unabhängig ansteuerbare Luftkammern radial um das Gehäuse der Spritzdüse umlaufend ausgebildet angeordnet. Diese sind mittels Luftkanälen innerhalb des Gehäuses der Pneumatik-Spritzdüse mit den dort separat verlaufenden Luftführungseinheiten für die Flächenreinigung und für die Gewindebohrungsreinigung jeweils verbunden und auch jeweils separat ansteuerbar ausgebildet.The housing of the pneumatic spray nozzle is arranged axially by means of a fastening flange within the torque support structure in such a way that the spray nozzle can execute a rotational movement aligned about its longitudinal axis. The drive takes place via the rotating unit of the robot arm. Between the torque support structure and the housing of the pneumatic spray nozzle are two separately sealed and Independently controllable air chambers arranged radially around the housing of the spray nozzle. These are each connected by means of air channels within the housing of the pneumatic spray nozzle to the air routing units running there separately for surface cleaning and for cleaning the tapped holes, and are each also separately controllable.
Die Luftführungseinheit für die Gewindebohrungsreinigung ist als axial angeordnete separate bewegliche Spritzdüse mit einem Außendurchmesser von ca. 1/3 des Innendurchmessers des Spritzdüsengehäuses ausgebildet und weist wenigstens eine Luftaustrittsöffnung zur Reinigung der Gewindebohrungen auf. Diese Luftaustrittsöffnung ist mittels einer Luftführungskante ausgestattet, so dass der Luftaustritt entgegen der Luftführungsrichtung ausgerichtet ist. Um auch das Innerste der Gewindebohrung mit der Spritzdüse erreichen zu können, ist die Spritzdüse so ausgebildet, dass sie wenigstens um das Längenmaß der zu reinigenden Lochtiefe aus der oberen Abschlussebene des Spritzdüsengehäuses herausragt.The air guide unit for the threaded bore cleaning is designed as an axially arranged separate movable spray nozzle with an outer diameter of approximately 1/3 of the inner diameter of the spray nozzle housing and has at least one air outlet opening for cleaning the threaded holes.

Für die Reinigung der Flächenbereiche und auch für die Gewindebohrungen selbst, ist der obere Teil des Zwischenraums zwischen Innendurchmessers des Spritzdüsengehäuses und dem Außendurchmesser der Spritzdüse als Luftführungseinheit für die Flächenreinigung ausgebildet und verjüngt sich bis zum Bereich der oberen Abschlussebene des Spritzdüsengehäuses. Zwischen oberen Abschlussebene des Spritzdüsengehäuses und dem Außendurchmesser der Spritzdüse ist der Luftaustritt zur Flächenreinigung ausgebildet.For the cleaning of the surface areas and also for the threaded holes themselves, the upper part of the space between the inside diameter of the spray nozzle housing and the outside diameter of the spray nozzle is designed as an air guiding unit for surface cleaning and tapers to the area of the upper end level of the spray nozzle housing. The air outlet for surface cleaning is formed between the upper end level of the spray nozzle housing and the outside diameter of the spray nozzle.
Für die angestrebte zusätzlich Möglichkeit der Bolzenreinigung ist die pneumatische Bolzenreinigungsdüse peripher in einem rechten Winkel zur Achsausrichtung der Spritzdüsenanordnung an der Drehmomenten-Stützkonstruktion mittels Befestigungselementen angeordnet und steht mit einer separat an der Drehmomenten-Stützkonstruktion angeordneten und separat steuerbaren Luftzuführeinheit für die Bolzenreinigung in Verbindung.For the desired additional possibility of bolt cleaning, the pneumatic bolt cleaning nozzle is arranged peripherally at a right angle to the axis alignment of the spray nozzle arrangement on the torque support structure by means of fastening elements and is connected to a separately controllable air supply unit for bolt cleaning which is arranged on the torque support structure and can be controlled separately.
Bereits innerhalb der Drehmomenten-Stützkonstruktion ist eine von der Luftzuführeinheit für die Bolzenreinigung versorgte separat abgedichtete und als umlaufende Nut ausgebildete, sich zur Luftaustrittsöffnung verjüngende Luftkammer angeordnet, welche über Verbindungskanäle mit der innerhalb der Bolzenreinigungsdüse um die zylindrisch ausgebildete axial ausgerichtete Bolzenaufnahme für die zu reinigenden Bolzen angeordneten weiteren Luftkammer in Verbindung stehend angeordnet ist. Diese weitere Luftkammer weist an der Abschlussebene der Bolzenreinigungsdüse eine in die Bolzenaufnahme gerichtete Luftaustrittsöffnung auf. Am unteren Ende der Bolzenreinigungsdüse ist zusätzlich ein Kanal für die Entfernung der abgetragenen Verschmutzungspartikel angeordnet, so dass die abgetragenen material- und Schmutzreste von der Reinigungsluft in den und durch den Kanal bis zum Auffangbehälter gedrückt werden können.Already within the torque support structure is a separately sealed air chamber supplied by the air supply unit for the bolt cleaning and designed as a circumferential groove and tapering towards the air outlet opening, which via connecting channels with the inside of the bolt cleaning nozzle around the cylindrical, axially aligned bolt receptacle for the bolts to be cleaned arranged further air chamber is arranged in connection. This further air chamber has an air outlet opening directed into the bolt receptacle at the end plane of the bolt cleaning nozzle. At the lower end of the bolt cleaning nozzle there is also a channel for removing the removed dirt particles, so that the removed material and dirt residues can be pressed into and through the channel by the cleaning air to the collecting container.
Die Bolzenaufnahme ist dabei so dimensioniert, dass sie die Maße des größten an der Maschinenkonstruktion vorhandenen und zu reinigenden Bolzendurchmesser und das größte Längenmaß dieser um wenigstens 10% übersteigt.The bolt receptacle is dimensioned such that it exceeds the dimensions of the largest bolt diameter that is present on the machine construction and is to be cleaned, and the largest length dimension thereof by at least 10%.
Die Ausgestaltung der Dreheinheit des Roboterarmes ist als pneumatisch angetriebene Dreheinheit ausgebildet.The design of the rotating unit of the robot arm is designed as a pneumatically driven rotating unit.
Die Luftaustrittsöffnung der zweiten Luftkammer der Bolzenreinigungsdüse kann vorteilhaft an der Abschlussebene der Bolzenreinigungsdüse als eine in diese Bolzenaufnahme gerichtete umlaufend angeordnete Luftaustrittnut ausgebildet sein.The air outlet opening of the second air chamber of the bolt cleaning nozzle can advantageously be formed on the end plane of the bolt cleaning nozzle as a circumferentially arranged air outlet groove directed into this bolt receptacle.
Es besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit, dass diese Luftaustrittsöffnung an der Abschlussebene der Bolzenreinigungsdüse umlaufend und als in die Bolzenaufnahme ausgerichtete einzelne Luftaustrittsöffnungen ausgebildet ist.However, there is also the possibility that this air outlet opening is circumferential at the end plane of the bolt cleaning nozzle and is designed as individual air outlet openings aligned in the bolt receptacle.
Mit diesem Reinigungswerkzeug wurde eine Lösung geschaffen, mit deren Hilfe es möglich ist, dass mit einem einzigen Roboterarm-Werkzeug sowohl vorhandene Bolzen, Bohrungen, Gewindebohrungen und auch Flächenbereichen eines Maschinenbauteils oder einer Unterbodengruppe von Kraftfahrzeugen sicher gereinigt werden können, da dieses Werkzeug mit mehreren in verschiedenen Richtungen angeordneten und separat ansteuerbaren Luftaustrittsöffnungen ausgestattet wurde, deren Luftaustritt in Verbindung mit den Roboterarmgelenken in nahezu alle notwenigen Bereiche der zu reinigenden Baugruppen ausgerichtet werden kann. Ein weiterer Vorteil sind dabei die jeweils separat ansteuerbaren Luftaustrittsbereiche, welche jedoch von einer Luftversorgungseinheit mit Luft versorgt werden, was den Bauaufwand wesentlich minimiert. Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil ist der gleichzeitig organisierte Abtragsport des abgetragenen bzw. entfernten Materials bei der Bolzenreinigungsdüse während des Reinigungsprozesses. Eine Nachbehandlung der Bolzen ist nicht notwendig.With this cleaning tool, a solution was created with the help of which it is possible that with a single robot arm tool, both existing bolts, bores, threaded bores and also surface areas of a machine component or an underbody group of motor vehicles can be safely cleaned, since this tool can be used with several tools Air outlet openings arranged in different directions and separately controllable, the air outlet in connection with the robot arm joints can be aligned in almost all necessary areas of the assemblies to be cleaned. A further advantage are the separately controllable air outlet areas, which, however, are supplied with air by an air supply unit, which considerably minimizes the construction effort. Another important advantage is the organized removal of the removed or removed material in the pin cleaning nozzle during the cleaning process. Post-treatment of the bolts is not necessary.
