Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for reionizing insulating powder in an installation for electrostatic powdering of objects.
  • reionization is meant the fact of electrostatically charging a powder a second time which has already been powdered, for example by passing through the electrostatic spray guns.
  • the electrostatic application of powder of high electrical resistivity is carried out by projecting, in the direction of the part to be treated, a jet of powder electrified by charges produced by needles connected to a high continuous voltage generator.
  • the electrified powder adheres to the part by the effect of electrostatic forces.
  • the present invention aims to increase the proportion of powder deposited on the parts to be treated.
  • the subject of the invention is a device for reionizing insulating powder in an installation for electrostatic powdering of moving objects, comprising a spraying enclosure, installation in which the powder not deposited on the objects is sucked towards air filtering elements. , parallel to the axis of travel of the objects, characterized in that it comprises at least one element for reionization of the non-deposited powder, located in a reionization chamber contiguous to the spray enclosure, this chamber comprising walls intended directing the powder towards the objects to be treated, and being situated between the spraying enclosure and the air suction openings by the filter elements.
  • the subject of the invention is also a method of reionizing insulating powder in an installation for electrostatic powdering of moving objects, comprising a spraying enclosure, according to which the non-deposited powder is sucked outside the spraying enclosure.
  • a spraying enclosure parallel to the axis of movement of the objects, characterized in that it consists in having, on the path of the powder not deposited and sucked, walls intended to direct the powder towards the objects to be treated and to reionize between two successive walls powder not deposited and aspirated.
  • parts 1 placed on the conveyor 2 pass through a powder coating booth comprising three modules A, B, C: module A serves as an entry airlock, module B is the spray enclosure intended for deposition of powder and contains projection elements 22, and module C is the exit airlock.
  • the input and output modules A and C contain vertical cylindrical filters 5, for example four in number.
  • a fan 8 placed in a box 12 allows the suction of air through the filters and a cleaning unit (not shown) ensures the regeneration of the filters.
  • a fluidization element 3 located at the base of the filters makes it possible to recover the powder which falls from the filters and to return it to a powder reserve 11 situated in the module B of the cabin.
  • the latter contains a fluidization unit 9 and a sieve shaker 20.
  • the powder deposition elements 22 are of any type, for example electrostatic spray guns.
  • the powder deposition elements 22 are connected to injectors 28 which draw the powder directly by means of plungers 10 from the powder reserve 11.
  • Each input and output module A, C comprises a reionization compartment D, E contiguous to the central module B.
  • These reionization compartments could as well be arranged in the central module B.
  • a reionization compartment consists of solid walls 13, 14, 15, 16, leaving a central passage 17 for the parts to be treated. These walls have the effect of constituting obstacles on the path of the powder and, thereby, further confine the powder in the powdering module B by creating a significant pressure drop when passing from the powdering chamber B to the 'filtration chamber A, C. These obstacles force the powder which participates in this transfer to go towards the central axis 18 of the cabin according to the arrows f1, f2 and, thereby, towards the parts which circulate in the cabin.
  • the fraction of powder still loaded is redeposited on the parts.
  • the reionization compartments D, E further comprise ionizing elements 21, 23, 25, 27 constituted by insulating tubes arranged vertically over the entire height of the cabin. These tubes are pierced with holes 30 crossed by spikes 29 so as to leave a space between the spike and the hole. The points are fixed in the wall of the tube opposite the hole according to a generatrix by a fixing means, such as nailing or the like. The tips 29 are directed towards the center of the cabin, perpendicular to the axis 18 for transferring the parts and pass through a conductive element 31 connected at high voltage by a conductor 32.
  • the high voltage source is an electrostatic generator, which may be the same as that used for the spray guns in module B; the tips 29 are thus in contact with the conductive element 31 which bring them to a high potential for carrying out the reionization of the powder.
  • the conductive element 31 is constituted by a helical spring suspended in the axis of the tube, between the turns from which the tips 29 have passed.
  • the conductive element 31 could also be constituted by a metallic braid.
  • the tips are arranged along a generator over the entire height of the tube; one can space for example the points of a distance ranging between 10 and 100 mm.
  • the insulating tube 21 is closed at one end by an insulating plug 33, crossed by the supply conductor 32 of the high voltage current so as to avoid electrostatic leaks; its other end is connected to a compressed air supply 34.
  • the tips are brought to a high electrical potential via the spring 31 so as to create an ionization of the powder and the compressed air is sent into the tube.
  • This air exiting through the holes surrounding the tips has the effect of preventing powder deposits on the tips, which would adversely affect good ionization of the air and the powder present in the compartment.
  • the implementation of the invention improves the regularity of the thickness of powder on the parts. Lateral suction through the filters ensures the same powder density over the entire height of the cabin and, consequently, a regular deposition of powder on the parts.
