Refer to Fig. 1, this utility model embodiment provides a kind of paint spray booth 100, including room body 2 and positioned at room body 2 one The paint mist purifying means 6 of side.It is appreciated that paint spray booth 100 may also include the miscellaneous parts such as electric control system, for omitting a piece Width, is not described in detail here.
In the present embodiment, room body 2 includes telescope support 22 and is erected on the soft paulin 24 on telescope support 22.Stretch Contracting support 22 carries out spray painting operation to form one for workman as the muscles and bones of room body 2, soft paulin 24 as the side wall of room body 2 Operation area.Preferably, soft paulin 24 carries out refining after sealing treatment using anti-PVC flame-retardant pull tension material and forms, and has not The features such as easily rupturable, bright in luster, lightweight, sealing, non-stimulated, anticorrosion, soft texture flexible.One end of room body 2 sets There is the opening 26 connecting with operation area, so that extraneous air enters in room body 2.The bottom of telescope support 22 is additionally provided with roller 28, The ground in workshop is provided with guide rail (not shown), roller 28 and guide rail cooperation, to facilitate room body 2 to carry out stretching motion.
Please also refer to Fig. 2, in the present embodiment, paint mist purifying means 6 are installed in room body 2 away from the one of opening 26 End, and be located at outside room body 2.Paint mist purifying means 6 include aspiration channel 62, air-introduced machine 63, exhaust duct 64, clean room 65 and shower nozzle 66.One end of aspiration channel 62 is connected away from the side of opening 26 with telescope support 22, to draw the coating cloud gas in room body 2.Inhale The other end of airduct 62 is connected with the air inlet of air-introduced machine 63.The air outlet of air-introduced machine 63 passes through exhaust duct 64 with shower nozzle 66 even Connect.It is used in clean room 65 housing scavenging solution 200, and be provided with activated carbon adsorption layer 67 above clean room 65 liquid level.In this reality Apply in mode, scavenging solution 200 is water.The top of clean room 65 is provided with to discharge the gas outlet 652 (Fig. 3) of gas after purification. Shower nozzle 66 is located in clean room 65 and is located at the lower section of activated carbon adsorption layer 67, and shower nozzle 66 is used for spraying coating cloud gas to impact Scavenging solution 200, so that scavenging solution 200 catches the paint in coating cloud gas.
Preferably, paint mist purifying means 6 also include deflection plate 68, and deflection plate 68 is installed in clean room 65 and is located at shower nozzle Between 66 and activated carbon adsorption layer 67, to extend the time in clean room 65 for the coating cloud gas, so that in coating cloud gas Paint can fully be reacted with the scavenging solution 200 in clean room 65, to improve clean-up effect.Deflection plate 68 offers some through holes 682, some through holes 682 extend through deflection plate 68.Some through holes 682 have identical bearing of trend, bearing of trend and purification The central shaft of room 65 is not parallel.This kind of design can either extend the time in clean room 65 for the coating cloud gas, be prevented from net again Change liquid 200 to be spilt outside clean room 65 by after the impact of coating cloud gas.
Preferably, exhaust duct 64 includes the first connecting tube 642 being interconnected and the second connecting tube 644.First connecting tube 642 one end is connected with the air outlet of air-introduced machine 63, and the first connecting tube 642 is away from the peace of one end formation one taper of air-introduced machine 63 Dress portion 643.One end of second connecting tube 644 is set on installation portion 643, and shower nozzle 66 is installed in the second connecting tube 644 away from peace The one end in dress portion 643.The installation portion 643 of taper further can be pressurizeed to the gas in the first connecting tube 642, thus Guarantee that the coating cloud gas spraying from shower nozzle 66 has preferably impulsive force.
It is provided with the injection channel 662 connecting with exhaust duct 64 in shower nozzle 66.Preferably, injection channel 662 is in substantially loudspeaker Shape, it is axially vertical with the liquid level in clean room 65, and the internal diameter of injection channel 662 gradually becomes along the direction away from exhaust duct 64 Greatly, to increase the contact area of coating cloud gas and scavenging solution 200, thus improving clean-up effect.
Preferably, shower nozzle 66 is located at below the liquid level of clean room 65 away from one end of exhaust duct 64, so that by shower nozzle 66 row Paint in the coating cloud gas going out and scavenging solution 200 fully react, and improve clean-up effect.
Preferably, gas outlet 652 and the vertical height on ground are 10-17 rice, dilute through air to guarantee microscale harmful substance Pollution will not be produced to surrounding after releasing.
For the ease of spray painting operation, in the present embodiment, the top of room body 2 is also equiped with three solar control lamps, three anti-days The fluorescent tube long service life of light lamp, brightness >=500 lux (LUX), beneficial to spray painting operation.
When needing to carry out spray painting operation to workpiece, if workpiece small volume to be painted, opening of paint spray booth 100 can be passed through Mouth 26 puts the workpiece in operation area.To large-scale or when heavy workpiece carries out spray painting operation, first pass through telescope support 22 and room body 2 is entered Row folds, and concedes spray painting place, then utilizes overhead traveling crane (not shown) that work piece hoisting is in place, then makes roller 28 in orbit again Motion, so that telescope support 22 launches to form paint spray booth 100, and workpiece is located in this paint spray booth 100, now can carry out Spray painting operation.During spray painting, fresh air sucks spray painting operation area by the opening 26 of paint spray booth 100, and during spray painting, air-flow equably will Workpiece surrounds.Due to being in negative pressure state in room body 2, thus ensureing that over-sprayed paint fog will not disperse to beyond paint spray booth's scope.
While spray painting operation, work away from the paint mist purifying means 6 of opening 26 one end located at room body 2.By air-introduced machine The coating cloud gas that produces during spray painting work is sucked in aspiration channel 62 by 63 by room body 2, and by coating cloud gas compression to predetermined Pressure.Coating cloud gas after pressurization, after exhaust duct 64, is sprayed with high speed at shower nozzle 66, scavenging solution in impact clean room 65 200 liquid level, to form foam and water smoke, coating cloud then pours in scavenging solution 200 with air-flow, is fully contacted simultaneously with scavenging solution 200 It is captured down;After except paint mist treatment, waste gas enters activated carbon adsorption layer 67, and activated carbon relies on molecular attraction and capillary tube to make With can the toxic gas such as benzene effectively in waste gas, dimethylbenzene be adsorbed, through activated carbon adsorption layer 67 purified gas again It is emitted into external environment condition from gas outlet 652.After daily spray painting operation terminates, only the paint block being suspended in scavenging solution 200 need to be dragged for Go out, easy to use.
Paint spray booth 100 of the present utility model, two discharging when the coating cloud producing in spraying in its room body 2, solvent volatilization Discharge after the purified liquid of the harmful gass such as toluene 200 and activated carbon adsorption layer 67 process, make emission reach the row of national regulation Put standard, can greatly improve Job Operations environment, protect the physical and mental health of operator it is ensured that spraying operation area environment is not subject to Pollution, reaches the environmental protection standard that country specifies to spraying industry.
Described above is the detailed description for the preferable possible embodiments of this utility model, but embodiment is not limited to Patent claim of the present utility model, the equal change being completed under the technical spirit suggested by all this utility model or modification Change, all should belong to the covered the scope of the claims of this utility model.
