Definitions

  • the invention relates to a robot, in particular a handling robot for opening and closing doors or hoods of motor vehicle bodies during a painting process.
  • the invention relates to a corresponding operating method for such a robot.
  • the problem here is that the handling tools (gripper) of the handling robot are exposed to the spray of the painting robot and therefore are polluted by the applied paint.
  • this paint contamination of the robot can lead to paint dripping from the dirty surfaces of the robot and dripping in the worst case on the components to be painted, which would lead to damage of the previously applied paint layer.
  • This danger also exists with dried, powdery overspray which may be brought by the handling robot (e.g., door opener, bonnet opener) onto the vehicle body to be painted, which may be caused by, for example, cabin air, robot movement or vibration.
  • the Lackanhaftonnesch on the robot should be removed in a color change, to avoid subsequent contamination by the different colored Lackanhaftsch. This is only dispensable if, as is currently the case, the handling tools (for example grippers) act on surfaces of the motor vehicle bodywork that are not to be painted.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a correspondingly improved robot and to specify an associated operating method.
  • the invention includes the general teachings of automatically cleaning the handling tool of a handling robot or other polluting robot member (e.g., a hand axis or robotic arm) of the robot.
  • a handling robot or other polluting robot member e.g., a hand axis or robotic arm
  • this offers the advantage that no or a shortened production interruptions of the paint shop are required for cleaning the robot, whereby the cost of the paint shop is improved.
  • the automatic cleaning of the handling robot according to the invention has the advantage that the paint booth does not have to be entered by the maintenance staff for cleaning purposes, so that no dust is introduced during the cleaning, which reduces the number of paint defects and thus improves the paint quality.
  • the invention is not limited to paint shops where no interruption in production takes place during the cleaning and the paint booth is not entered by maintenance personnel. Rather, the invention claimed regardless of the realization of these technical advantages protection for the idea of automatic cleaning of handling or painting robots.
  • the robots can also be partially and / or temporarily manually cleaned in the context of the invention, which takes place for example in removable half-shells.
  • a cleaning device which cleans the handling tool or any other dirt-prone robotic member of the handling or painting robot of the paint that has been deposited in the paint shop.
  • the cleaning device prevents the deposition of paint on the handling tool or on the dirt-prone other robot member of the handling robot, as will be described in detail.
  • the two above-mentioned variants of the invention can optionally be provided individually or combined with each other. It is therefore possible within the scope of the invention that the Cleaning device prevents paint deposits on the handling robot and also cleans the handling robot of adhering paint.
  • the cleaning device has an insertion opening into which the handling robot inserts the handling tool to be cleaned when cleaning is required.
  • cleaning devices are for example for cleaning atomizers EP 0 333 040 A2 and DE 102 40 073 A1 In principle, they can also be used for cleaning purposes for handling tools, so that the content of these two publications of the present description is to be fully attributed to the structure and the mode of operation of the cleaning device.
  • the invention is not limited to the conventional cleaning devices for atomizers in terms of construction and operation of the cleaning device, but in principle also with other types of cleaning equipment feasible.
  • the handling robot can perform, for example, a linear movement of the handling tool.
  • the handling robot can introduce the handling tool linearly from top to bottom into the insertion opening of the cleaning device.
  • the handling robot it is alternatively also possible for the handling robot to perform a combined movement for the introduction of the handling tool into the insertion opening of the cleaning device, which consists of a rotational movement and a linear movement.
  • the handling robot can insert the handling tool into the insertion opening of the cleaning device performs a pivoting movement.
  • the cleaning device can be oriented horizontally so that the handling tool can be inserted in a horizontal direction into the insertion opening of the cleaning device. This movement can be realized in that the handling tool is pivoted about a horizontally extending axis of rotation.
  • the invention is not limited to the above-mentioned examples with regard to the introduction of the handling tool into the insertion opening of the cleaning device. Rather, another kinematics is conceivable that allows the introduction of the handling tool in the insertion of the cleaning device in the invention.
  • the cleaning device with the insertion opening for the handling tool is attached to the outside of the handling robot.
  • the cleaning device is arranged with the insertion opening for the handling tool in the housing of the handling robot.
  • the cleaning device for the handling tool is mounted in a stationary manner on a cabin floor or on a cabin wall of a paint booth, structurally separate from the handling robot.
  • cleaning devices for atomizers are known from the prior art.
  • a cleaning device both for cleaning an atomizer as well as for cleaning the handling tool offers the advantage that it is possible to dispense with a separate additional cleaning device for the handling tool by using the already existing cleaning device for the atomizer.
  • the cleaning device has a protective cover which at least partially covers the handling tool or the dirt-prone robotic member and thereby prevents or at least impedes contamination of the handling tool or the dirt-prone robotic member with the applied lacquer. It is advantageous if the protective cover is replaceable to replace a soiled protective cover with a clean protective cover can.
  • such a protective cover consist of a protective cap or a protective film, which prevents contamination of the handling tool.
  • the protective cover may be automatically picked up by the handling robot with vacuum or with a locking mechanism (e.g., detent, locking lever, or the like).
  • the protective cover can be accommodated by means of a hook-and-loop fastener, a Velcro strip or a magnet, which can also serve as fastening means.
  • the protective cover can then be automatically dropped, which can be done for example with compressed air or with a mechanically operated ejection cylinder.
  • a disposal container is preferably provided, wherein the handling robot can dispose of the soiled protective covers independently in the disposal container.
  • a reservoir which contains a supply of clean protective covers, wherein the handling robot can remove the clean protective covers independently from the reservoir.
  • the handling robot according to the invention therefore preferably has a compressed air device in order to eject or suck in the protective cover.
  • the disposal container or the storage container is structurally mounted separately from the handling robot on the cabin floor or on the cabin wall of the painting booth.
  • the protective cover for the handling robot consists of two half-shells which in the assembled state surround the dirt-prone robotic member (eg, a robot's hand axis) and are interconnected by a fastener, thereby fixing the protective cover to the dirt-prone robotic member.
  • the dirt-prone robotic member eg, a robot's hand axis
  • the attachment means for connecting the two half-shells may be a conventional adhesive tape.
  • the cleaning of the handling tool can be realized in that the handling tool is connected by a quick-change coupling with the rest of the handling robot to allow a quick replacement of the soiled handling tool by a clean handling tool.
  • the separated handling tool can then be stored directly in a cleaning device, so that the cleaning of the previously replaced and stored handling tool takes place during the painting process.
  • the distal robot arm serving to guide the handling tool is connected to the rest of the handling robot by means of a quick-change coupling in order to enable a quick replacement of the soiled robot arm with the handling tool attached thereto.
  • the contamination of the handling robot is minimized by aligning the distal robot arm serving to guide the handling tool at an acute angle or even parallel to the spray jet of the paint in order to provide the spray jet with as little as possible attack surface.
  • the robot arm serving to guide the handling tool has a drip point at which the paint drips off the robot arm.
  • the Abtropfstelle can be formed for example by a bead in the robot arm. By this constructive measure, the Abtropfstelle can be selectively influenced, whereby unwanted drips are prevented at a disturbing point on the component surfaces to be painted or on the handling robot itself.
  • the serving for guiding the handling tool robot arm and / or the handling tool itself has an absorbent coating, which absorbs the impinging paint and thereby prevents dripping of the paint or extends the time to the next necessary cleaning ,
  • the robot arm serving to guide the handling tool and / or the handling tool to be cleaned may have cleaning nozzles in its outer wall, via which cleaning agents (for example solvent, compressed air) can be dispensed in order to avoid paint adhesion.
  • cleaning agents for example solvent, compressed air
  • the robot arm may also be porous, so that the detergent can escape over a large area through the individual pores of the robot arm. The pores can also be used to allow different amounts of air to escape at any time or at any time to prevent soiling (free-flow air).
  • the handling robot is arranged in a painting booth with a booth wall, wherein the booth wall spatially delimits the painting booth.
  • a cleaning opening in the cabin wall arranged, through which the handling tool can be plugged from the inside of the cabin wall on the outside of the cabin wall to clean or replace the handling tool outside the spray booth, which can be done either automatically or manually in this embodiment.
  • the handling robot in the present invention preferably a SCARA robot (SCARA: S elective C ompliants A ssembly R obot A rm) is, has the vertically oriented rotational axes of motion and is therefore also of the horizontal articulated robot, since essentially only rotational movements in the horizontal direction are possible.
  • SCARA robots are described for example in FIG SPONG / HUTCHINSON / VIDYASAGAR: "Robot Modeling and Control", pages 15-16, John Wiley & Sons (2006 ), so that the contents of this textbook of the present description with regard to the structure and operation of a SCARA robot is attributable.
  • the invention is not limited to a handling robot (e.g., door opener, hood opener). Rather, the invention can also be realized in a painting robot or another robot, which is also susceptible to contamination.
  • the term robot used in the context of the invention is based on a multi-axis robot with, for example, 5, 6 or 7 axes, from which so-called side machines and roof machines are to be distinguished.
  • the invention comprises not only the handling robot according to the invention described above, but also a complete painting installation with such a handling robot.
  • the invention is not only directed to a handling robot or a paint shop, but also relates to a corresponding operating method in which the cleaning or keeping clean of the handling robot is automatic.
  • the handling robot can be cleaned by a neighboring painting robot.
  • the painting robot can apply solvent (for example, rinsing agent, cleaning agent) or compressed air to the areas of the handling robot to be cleaned, whereby an alternating application of solvent and compressed air is also possible in order to improve the cleaning effect.
  • solvent for example, rinsing agent, cleaning agent
  • compressed air to the areas of the handling robot to be cleaned, whereby an alternating application of solvent and compressed air is also possible in order to improve the cleaning effect.
  • the application of the solvent or the compressed air through the adjacent painting robot can be done either by the already existing atomizer or by a separate cleaning nozzle, which may be provided on the painting robot.
  • the cleaning robot is preferably cleaned during an already occurring color change time in which the paint to be applied is changed. This is advantageous because the cleaning of the handling robot then does not require a production interruption.
  • paint shops regularly production interruptions, for example, at the weekend or a shift change, these already occurring production interruptions can then be used advantageously for cleaning the handling robot.
  • the painting operation is interrupted for a cleaning of the handling robot.
  • This offers the possibility that, for example, after each component painting or after a certain number of component finishes cleaning of the handling robot can be done, whereby the painting quality is improved.
  • FIG. 1 shows a handling robot 1, which is mounted on a cabin floor 2 of a spray booth in a paint shop and has the task in motor vehicle bodies with pre-assembled doors to open the doors for interior painting and then close again, which is known per se from the prior art , so that the handling robot 1 is also referred to as a door opener.
