ABSTRACT

To address the current problems in the reactor surface treatment industry, such as high manual dependence, low efficiency, unstable spraying quality, and harsh working environments, this study designs and develops an automatic grinding and painting device for reactors that integrates transport support, precision grinding, and multi-sided painting functions. The device adopts a modular design concept and achieves full-process automation of reactor surface treatment through the organic integration of a precision mechanical structure and an intelligent control system. It is adaptable to the complex structures of large reactors, meets high-precision processing requirements, and employs environmentally friendly treatment processes to effectively improve the working environment. The outcomes of this research not only solve the industry pain point of low automation in reactor surface treatment, significantly improving production efficiency and product quality, but also provide an efficient, environmentally friendly, and safe intelligent solution for the power equipment manufacturing industry, demonstrating important practical value and broad application prospects.
