Please refer to FIG. 1 , which illustrates the transmission of the loop movement provided by the present invention. The cleaning method of the component contaminated paint includes performing the following steps S1 to S4:

Step S1: The drive transmission element moves along the movement path.

Referring to FIG. 2, the moving path 10 is formed by the transmission element 13 in a loop shape. The transmission element 13 can perform continuous loop movement along the moving path 10 for carrying the object 40 (as shown in FIG. 4). Spray coating work. The transmission element 13 described in the present invention may be implemented as a chain, a carrier on a chain, a belt or the like, and the coating means, in practice, that it can be supplied via a spray gun or supplied via a roller. Inks, paints, etc., as for the type of ink or paint, should include the scope that can be applied.

The moving path 10 is formed by winding the trajectories 11a, 11b and the linear trajectories 12a, 12b. Further, the moving path 10 further includes a cleaning trajectory 15, the swaying tracks 11a, 11b and the linear trajectories 12a, 12b and cleaning The trajectory 15 is formed by the transmission element 13 being disposed around a plurality of spaced-apart rotors 14 that receive the guidance of the rotor 14 and sequentially pass through the trajectory 11a, the cleaning trajectory 15, the linear trajectory 12b, and the trajectory 11b and the linear path 12a are moved in a loop. Wherein, the number of cleaning tracks can be single, and the number of each of the rotating track and the linear track is not limited to a single number, and substantially, a single straight track is used to match single or multiple rotating tracks, or multiple linear tracks are used to match a single rotating track. A plurality of geometrically shaped moving paths 10 can be constructed to enable the transmission element 13 to carry the object 40 in a moving path 10 for loop movement.

Step S2: Deploying the spraying area and the cleaning area in the moving path.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a spray area 20 and a cleaning area 30 are disposed at intervals in the moving path 10. The spray area 20 is disposed on the linear track 12a to enable the linear track 12a to be disposed. The spray zone 20 is disposed in the spray zone 20, and in the present embodiment, the spray zone can be configured with a spray gun for spraying the paint; the cleaning zone 30 can be disposed on the rotary track 11a (as shown in FIG. 2) or a straight track. 12b (shown in FIG. 3), the cleaning zone 30 is provided with a cleaning tank 31, and the cleaning tank 31 is filled with a washable pass. The surface of the movable element 13 is contaminated with the cleaning liquid 32 of the coating, and the cleaning track 15 is located in the cleaning liquid 32 of the cleaning tank 31.

Step S3: The transmission element passes through the spray zone.

Referring to FIG. 2, when the transmission member 13 carries the article 40 through the spray zone 20, the paint can be sprayed onto the surface of the article 40 by the spray gun. Then, the coated article 40 is transported to the spray zone 20 via the transmission member 13. .

Step S4: The transmission element passes through the cleaning zone.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, when the transmission component 13 passes through the cleaning zone 30, the transmission component 13 enters the cleaning track 15 in the cleaning tank 31 along the turning track 11a or the linear track 12b; the cleaning track 15 is implemented. It may be horizontally arranged (not limited) but excluded from being collinear with the trajectory 11a or the linear trajectory 12b; the collinear exclusion means whether the cleaning trajectory 15 is horizontal or not, but never and slewing One of the trajectory 11a and the linear trajectory 12b overlap or form an intersection with each other. In addition, since the cleaning trajectory 15 must be present in the cleaning liquid 32 of the cleaning tank 31, the cleaning trajectory 15 may be arranged in a diagonally or arcuate manner in addition to being horizontally arranged in the cleaning liquid. In the liquid 32. As such, the transmission element 13 can be impregnated into the cleaning fluid 32 as it moves along the cleaning track 15 in the moving path 10.

In addition, the cleaning tank 31 may further be provided with a brush 33 for contacting the transmission element 13 in the cleaning liquid 32, and an ultrasonic vibration source 34 for driving the cleaning liquid 32 to generate oscillation, which is provided by the brush 33 and the ultrasonic vibration source 34. The cleaning liquid 32 is lifted to remove the effect of the paint stained on the surface of the transmission member 13.

On the other hand, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 together, it is explained that the present invention further provides a cleaning device for the paint element contaminated by the moving motion of the loop, so that the above cleaning method can be easily implemented. The cleaning device includes the above-described moving path 10, spraying area 20, and washing area 30. among them:

The movement path 10 is formed by the fact that the transmission element 13 is wound between a plurality of spaced-apart rotors 14 as described above. When the above transmission element 13 When the chain 13a is the carrier 13b on the chain, the rotor 14 is a sprocket, and when the transmission element 13 is a belt, the rotor 14 is a pulley. The rotor 14 includes a driving wheel and at least one driven wheel. The driving wheel drives the transmission component 13 to sequentially circulate along the rotating tracks 11a, 11b and the linear tracks 12a, 12b and the cleaning track 15 via the driving of the motor. mobile.

By eliminating the trajectory of the trajectory 15a or the linear trajectory 12b by the cleaning trajectory 15, it is convenient for the transmission element 13 to move into the liquid surface of the cleaning liquid 32 by the trajectory 11a or the linear trajectory 12b above the cleaning tank 31, and then the cleaning liquid The liquid level of 32 moves to the trajectory 11b or the linear trajectory 12b above the cleaning tank 31, so that the transmission element 13 can be easily cleaned during moving, without designing the cleaning tank 31 to become a complex for the transmission element 13 to freely enter and exit. structure.

The brush 33 in the cleaning tank 31 may include a fixed brush 33a and a motor-driven rotary brush 33b. When the transmission element 13 enters the cleaning tank 31, the fixed brush can be used. The contact between the 33a and the rotary brush 33b and the transmission member 13 enhances the effect of the cleaning fluid 32 when cleaning the surface of the transmission member 13.

The cleaning tank 31 can be configured to have a liquid level sensor 35 capable of controlling when the signal is emitted by the operator adjusting the sensing height, for example, when the liquid level sensor 35 senses the cleaning in the cleaning tank 31. When the liquid 32 is higher than the liquid level height h1, the signal can be sent to inform the operator to discharge the excess cleaning liquid 32 in the cleaning tank 31 to prevent the excessive cleaning liquid 32 from overflowing the cleaning tank 31, and conversely, when the liquid level sensor 35 senses the cleaning. When the cleaning liquid 32 in the tank 31 is lower than the liquid level height h2, it can send a signal to inform the operator to add the cleaning liquid 32 to maintain sufficient cleaning liquid 32 to impregnate the transmission element 13 to ensure the cleaning of the surface of the transmission element 13 effect. More specifically, a drain valve 36 is fixed to the bottom of the cleaning tank 31, so that the operator can discharge the cleaning liquid 32 by opening the drain valve 36, so as to maintain the liquid level of the cleaning liquid 32 in the cleaning tank 31. Or replace the cleaning solution 32.

Based on the above, the cleaning method and device for the coating component of the moving component of the loop moving movement provided by the present invention are the coating material which is moved by the transmission component 13 to make the transmission component 13 contaminated in the spraying zone 20, and can be in the cleaning zone 30. The internal cleaning is performed to prevent the transmission component 13 from affecting the coating yield of the object 40 due to the paint contaminated on the surface of the transmission member 13 during the subsequent carrying of the article 40.

The above embodiments are merely illustrative of preferred embodiments of the invention, but are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. Therefore, the present invention should be based on the content of the claims defined in the scope of the patent application.
