Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for electrostatically coating objects with liquids, e.g. liquid color, according to the preamble of the main claim. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method using the device.
- liquids e.g. liquid color
- Spray systems are also known in which the paint is electrostatically drawn off as a thin film from a knife-like edge.
- the paint is fed to the spray edge by gravity or centrifugal force.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device with which a liquid, e.g. liquid paint, can be sprayed onto an object to be processed, whereby, in contrast to the previously known devices, difficult coating materials, such as "MetaLLic lacquers", can be processed and a uniform fine distribution of the color is ensured without fear must have air pockets.
- a liquid e.g. liquid paint
- difficult coating materials such as "MetaLLic lacquers”
- the invention further proposes a method that can be carried out using the device and is defined in the characterizing part of claim 5.
- a device consists in a bell, which is seated on a hollow axis and is driven by an external rotor drive.
- the hollow axis itself serves as a lacquer channel, which widens like a diffuser at the transition point to the inside of the bell, before the fluid then passes through a rectifier sieve at its end.
- the liquid is then transferred radially and rotationally symmetrically to the moving inner surface of the bell, which is grooved for positive transport. This radial toothing contributes to the transmission of the Coriolis force.
- nozzle holes are made on one or more sub-circles, one of which is preferably larger than the diameter of the atomizing edge.
- the pitch circle diameter and the bore geometry are selected in relation to the air flow rate so that the air balance around the rotating bell is ensured and the sprayed paint mist cone receives a defined axial thrust through the circular air curtain.
- the fluid stream supplied centrally to the bell which rotates at a speed of preferably 15,000 to 60,000 rpm, is fed through the torus vortex formed in the free half space without detaching the moving bell inner surface and there, in a manner known per se, via frictional engagement or positive engagement of the spray edge is fed.
- the fluid flow is almost decelerated to zero speed by means of a diffuser and a rectifier sieve.
- the position of the swirl axis is not subject to any restrictions in wide operating areas.
- FIG. 1 has the hollow shaft 1, which supports the bearings 10 and 10 'of the bell 2 with the rotor 5, the stator 11 and the dynamic seal 20 and the fabric bushing 16.
- the electrical supply line 8 for the stator is guided in a groove 17 on the hollow shaft through the bearing 10 '.
- the hollow shaft ends in a diffuser 12, which is closed by a rectifying sieve 14.
- the inlet of the diffuser is designed as a valve seat 3, on which the fluid flow can be shut off using the valve needle 4.
- the bell inner contour carries a radial toothing 15 for the transmission of the Coriolis force.
- the additional nozzle bores 9 of the nozzle ring 6 produce an annular air curtain which imparts an axial thrust to the paint mist sprayed on the edge 13.
- the paint to be sprayed is introduced via line 7.
- a pneumatic drive with a turbine rotor 18 and nozzle ring 19 is provided instead of the electric drive.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum elektrostatischen überziehen von Gegenständen mit FLüssigkeiten, z.B. flüssiger Farbe, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches. Weiterhin bezieht sich die Erfindung auf ein Verfahren unter Benutzung der Vorrichtung.The invention relates to a device for electrostatically coating objects with liquids, e.g. liquid color, according to the preamble of the main claim. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method using the device.
Verfahren und Vorrichtungen zum elektrostatischen überziehen von Gegenständen mit Farbe sind in großer Zahl bekannt. So gibt es Sprühpistolen in den verschiedensten Ausführungen, bei denen das Farbgut mittels Druckluft oder Airless versprüht wird. An der Versprühungsstelle liegt eine nadelförmige Hochspannungselektrode, über die infolge der hohen Feldlinienkonzentration eine elektrische Aufladung des Spritznebels erfolgt.Methods and devices for electrostatically coating objects with paint are known in large numbers. There are spray guns in a wide variety of designs in which the paint is sprayed using compressed air or airless. At the spraying point there is a needle-shaped high-voltage electrode, via which the spray mist is electrically charged due to the high field line concentration.
Weiter sind Sprühsysteme bekannt, bei denen das Farbgut als dünner Film von einer messerartig ausgebildeten Kante elektrostatisch abgezogen wird. Dabei erfolgt die Zuführung des Farbgutes zur Sprühkante durch Schwerkraft oder Fliehkräfte.Spray systems are also known in which the paint is electrostatically drawn off as a thin film from a knife-like edge. The paint is fed to the spray edge by gravity or centrifugal force.
SchLießLich ist es bekannt, daß durch hohe Zentrifugalkräfte, mit oder ohne elektrischem Feld, eine Zerstäubung erzielbar ist, die im wesentlichen die VorteiLe der vorher genannten Verfahren beinhaltet. Dieses System hat jedoch den NachteiL, daß infolge der Sprühglockenkonstruktion, selbst bei zentraler Lackzuführung, das Farbgut vor dem Zerstäuben UnstetigkeitssteLLen passieren muß (unstetige Querschnittsveränderung, Coriolisbeschleunigungssprung) die Veränderungen im Farbgut (z. B. durch Einschlagen von Luft) nach sich ziehen. Weiter benötigen diese Systeme eine zentrale Zerstäubernabe, um das Farbgut der Sprühkante zuzuführen. Diese Zerstäubernabe unterliegt unkontrollierbarer Verschmutzung.Finally, it is known that atomization can be achieved by high centrifugal forces, with or without an electric field, which essentially contains the advantages of the aforementioned methods. However, this system has the disadvantage that, due to the construction of the spray bell, even with a central paint supply, the colored material has to pass discontinuities before atomization (discontinuous change in cross-section, Coriolis acceleration jump), which leads to changes in the colored material (e.g. due to air blowing in). These systems also require a central atomizer hub to feed the paint to the spray edge. This atomizer hub is subject to uncontrollable contamination.
Der Erfindung Liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit der eine FLüssigkeit, z.B. flüssige Farbe, auf einen zu bearbeitenden Gegenstand aufgesprüht werden kann, wobei im Unterschied zu den bisher bekannten Einrichtungen auch schwierige überzugs-Materialien, wie beispielsweise "MetaLLic-Lacke", verarbeitet werden können und eine gleichmäßige Feinverteilung der Farbe gewährleistet ist, ohne daß befürchtet werden muß, daß LufteinschLüsse vorhanden sind. Der Wirkungsgrad soll wesentlich erhöht werden und eine einfache, handliche und betriebssichere Vorrichtung geschaffen werden.The invention has for its object to provide a device with which a liquid, e.g. liquid paint, can be sprayed onto an object to be processed, whereby, in contrast to the previously known devices, difficult coating materials, such as "MetaLLic lacquers", can be processed and a uniform fine distribution of the color is ensured without fear must have air pockets. The efficiency should be increased significantly and a simple, handy and reliable device should be created.
Diese der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden TeiLs des Hauptanspruches gelöst.This object on which the invention is based is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of the main claim.
Die Erfindung schlägt weiterhin ein Verfahren vor, daß unter Benutzung der Vorrichtung durchgeführt werden kann und im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruches 5 definiert ist.The invention further proposes a method that can be carried out using the device and is defined in the characterizing part of
Eine Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung besteht in einer auf einer Hohlachse sitzenden Glocke, die durch einen Außenläuferantrieb angetrieben wird. Die Hohlachse selbst dient dabei als Lackkanal, der sich an der Übergangsstelle zur Glockeninnenseite diffusorartig erweitert, bevor das Fluid dann an dessen Ende ein Gleichrichtersieb passiert. RadiaL und rotationssymmetrisch wird dann die Flüssigkeit der bewegten, zum formschlüssigen Transport gerillten Glockeninnenfläche übergeben. Diese RadiaLverzahnung trägt zur übertragung der Corioliskraft bei. Nach rückwärts versetzt sind Düsenbohrungen auf einem oder mehreren TeiLkreisen angebracht, von denen einer vorzugsweise größer ist als der Durchmesser der Zerstäubungskante. Der TeiLkreisdurchmesser und die Bohrungsgeometrie werden in Relation zum Luftdurchsatz so gewählt, daß einmal der Lufthaushalt um die rotierende GLocke sichergestellt wird und zum zweiten der abgesprühte Lacknebelkegel durch den kreisringförmigen Luftschleier einen definierten Axialschub erhält.A device according to the invention consists in a bell, which is seated on a hollow axis and is driven by an external rotor drive. The hollow axis itself serves as a lacquer channel, which widens like a diffuser at the transition point to the inside of the bell, before the fluid then passes through a rectifier sieve at its end. The liquid is then transferred radially and rotationally symmetrically to the moving inner surface of the bell, which is grooved for positive transport. This radial toothing contributes to the transmission of the Coriolis force. Set backwards, nozzle holes are made on one or more sub-circles, one of which is preferably larger than the diameter of the atomizing edge. The pitch circle diameter and the bore geometry are selected in relation to the air flow rate so that the air balance around the rotating bell is ensured and the sprayed paint mist cone receives a defined axial thrust through the circular air curtain.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Arbeitsweise wird also der der mit einer Drehzahl von vorzugsweise 15.000 bis 60.000 UPM rotierenden Glocke zentral zugeführte FLuidstrom durch den sich im freien Halbraum ausbildenden ToruswirbeL ohne Ablösung der bewegten Glockeninnenfläche zugeführt und dort in an sich bekannter Weise über Reibschluß bzw. Formschluß der Sprühkante zugeführt wird. Hierbei wird der Fluidstrom mittels eines Diffusors und eines Gleichrichtersiebes nahezu auf die Geschwindigkeit Null abgebremst. Die Lage der Drallachse unterliegt dabei in weiten Betriebsbereichen keinen Einschränkungen.In the mode of operation according to the invention, the fluid stream supplied centrally to the bell, which rotates at a speed of preferably 15,000 to 60,000 rpm, is fed through the torus vortex formed in the free half space without detaching the moving bell inner surface and there, in a manner known per se, via frictional engagement or positive engagement of the spray edge is fed. Here, the fluid flow is almost decelerated to zero speed by means of a diffuser and a rectifier sieve. The position of the swirl axis is not subject to any restrictions in wide operating areas.
