するようにしている。2. Description of the Related Art In an automated line using a robot coating device, when the tip of the cap of a spray gun is soiled with paint mist, it becomes a lump of paint and is applied to an object to be coated, and a good coating film cannot be obtained. For this reason, conventionally, when the tip of the cap of the spray gun becomes dirty, the line is temporarily stopped and the tip of the cap is washed with a brush or the like by an operator's hand.

In this state, for example, when the tip of the cap of the spray gun is reciprocated while rubbing against the brush, the tip of the cap is washed by the brush and the washing liquid. The paint adhering to the brush is dispersed in the entire cleaning liquid in the tank by vibrating the cleaning tank slightly. Therefore, the paint does not collect in the brush and the brush can be continuously used. In addition, when cleaning, turn on / off the cleaning from the interface connected to the control panel of the painting robot.
The lid of the cleaning tank is opened by the opening / closing means in response to the instruction, and the lid of the cleaning tank can be closed by the opening / closing means after the cleaning is completed, so that the evaporation of the cleaning liquid can be prevented.

っている。The top opening portion of the cleaning tank 6 is opened and closed by a lid 16 which is rotatable about a rotary shaft 15, and a knob 17 for manual opening and closing is provided on the lid 16. It is fixed. On the other hand, an air cylinder 18 is accommodated in the inner end portion of the cover 4, and the air cylinder 18
The tip of the drive shaft 19 is connected to a lever 21 that rotates about a rotary shaft 20. The rotary shaft 20 has a gear 22
Is connected, and this gear 22 is meshed with a gear 23 connected to the rotary shaft 15. The lid 16 is a lever 21
It is urged in the closing direction by a spring 24 interposed between the cover 4 and the inside of the cover 4. As shown in FIG. 3, the air cylinder 18 drives the drive shaft 19 forward and backward by the air introduced from the air supply port 31 and supplied through the air regulator 34 and the needle valve 35.

洗浄ブラシ１１に滞留しない。In this state, the spray gun 42 attached to the tip of the robot arm 41 by the painting robot 40.
When the tip of the cap moves back and forth on the brush surface of the cleaning brush 11 several times, the tip of the cap is cleaned by the cleaning liquid 5 and the cleaning brush 11. After cleaning, the tip of the cap of the spray gun 42 is pressed against the wiping brush 12 and reciprocated several times. As a result, the cleaning liquid attached to the tip of the cap is wiped off to the extent that it does not drip. This prevents the cleaning liquid from adhering to the object to be coated during the next coating.
In addition, since the paint attached to the cleaning brush 11 is dispersed in the entire cleaning liquid 5 in the cleaning tank 6 by the slight vibration of the cleaning tank 6,
It does not stay on the cleaning brush 11.

As shown in FIG. 4, the air supply is turned ON / OFF by an ON / OFF command for cleaning from an interface connected to the painting robot control panel.

う効果を奏する。As described above, according to the present invention, the tip of the cap of the automatic spray gun is immersed in the cleaning solution together with the cleaning tank, and the cleaning brush is rubbed against the cleaning brush that vibrates in the horizontal direction and is reciprocated while cleaning. It can be cleaned with a brush and a cleaning liquid, and the paint that has adhered to this cleaning brush is dispersed throughout the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank due to slight vibrations in the cleaning tank. In addition, the lid of the cleaning tank is opened by the opening / closing means during cleaning,
After the cleaning is completed, the lid of the cleaning tank can be closed by the opening / closing means, so that the evaporation of the cleaning liquid can be prevented.
Therefore, the cleaning work can be fully automated.
