Definitions

  • a rotary liquid sprayer which essentially includes: a rotary atomizing head having a liquid - contact surface for receiving thereon a liquid to be atomized; a rotational shaft for rotating the atomizing head at a high speed; and at least one spout nozzle for spurting under pressure the atomizing liquid in a pattern of a predetermined shape in plan view and spreading toward the liquid contact surface; the atomizing feed liquid spouted from the nozzle touching down on the liquid contact surface in the form of a thin liquid film and undergoing further reductions in thickness under the influence of the centrifugal force resulting from the rotation of the atomizing head before being atomized into fine particles at the peripheral edge portions thereof.
  • spout nozzles directed toward the rotary atomizing head instead of a single nozzle, for spouting the same kind of liquid simultaneously from a number of nozzles or for spouting different kinds of liquids from the respective nozzles.
  • This invention relates to a rotary liquid sprayer which is useful in paint coating, spray-drying, spray-granulation and preparation of emulsions, slurries or the like, and more particularly to a rotary liquid sprayer which is adapted to spout an atomizing liquid onto a rotary atomizing head and to spray the liquid therefrom in an atomized state.
  • spraying devices with a rotary atomizing head in the form of a rotary disc or the like are widely applied in the fields of paint coating and spray-granulation, supplying a feed liquid to the rotary atomizing head which is put in high speed rotation thereby to spray the liquid in an atomized state.
  • the atomizing liquid which is fed to the rotary atomizing head through a liquid feed tube is dropped or poured onto the liquid contact surface in the form of a columnar stream of low velocity, so that the liquid on the liquid contact surface at high speed rotation is caused to flow linearly in a radially outward direction under the influence of the centrifugal force without forming a thin filmy stream, resulting in extremely low uniformity at the edge of the rotary atomizing head. Consequently, it is often found difficult to atomize the feed liquid into finely divided particles of narrow particle size distribution.
  • the present invention has as its object the provision of a rotary sprayer which is capable of good quality atomization.
  • the present invention provides a rotary sprayer which is characterized by the provision of: a rotary atomizing head provided with a liquid contact surface for receiving an atomizing liquid; a rotational shaft for rotating the rotary atomizing head at a high speed; and at least one spout nozzle adapted to spout the atomizing liquid toward the liquid contact surface in a diverging pattern of a predetermined shape in plan view by application of pressure.
  • a plural number of similar spout nozzles may be provided on the sprayer, spouting a liquid of one kind from the nozzles or spouting a number of different kinds of liquids separately from the respective nozzles.
  • the atomizing liquid include paints, and fat and oil or resin to be used as a stock of granulation liquid.
  • the atomizing liquid consists of a continuous phase liquid and a disperse phase liquid.
  • the paint include, in addition to ordinary paints, the two-component type paints which consist of a mixture of a base material and a hardener or the three-component type paints which consist of a base material, a hardener and a catalyzer.
  • These sorts of paints may be mixed prior to supply to the spout nozzle, but the respective components of the paint may be spouted separately through a corresponding number of nozzles to mix them on the liquid contact surface of the rotary atomizing head, if desired. Especially in the case of these types paints with short pot life which harden soon when kept in a mixed state, it is preferred to mix the respective components on the liquid contact surface of the atomizing head.
  • the liquid which is solidified or highly viscous at room temperature
  • the liquid is spouted from the nozzle after liquefying or lowering the viscosity by heating.
  • the liquid contact surface of the rotary atomizing head is heated or maintained at a suitable temperature by a supply of heated steam or air, thereby preventing increases in viscosity or solidification of the feed liquid on the liquid contact surface of the atomizing head.
  • the feed liquid is atomized by the mechanical atomizing action of the centrifugal force resulting from the rotation of the rotary atomizing head
  • a high voltage is applied to the rotary atomizing head depending upon the physical properties of the feed liquid thereby to accelerate the atomization by the electrostatic atomizing action in addition to the mechanical atomizing action.
  • a rotary atomizing head of disc- or plate-like shape which is securely mounted on a rotational shaft 3 of a motor 2 such as an electric motor or an air motor.
  • the rotary atomizing head 1 is rotationally driven from the motor 2, for example, at a speed of 1,500 to 60,000 r.p.m.
  • an air motor especially a turbo air motor.
  • a liquid contact surface 4 which receives the supply of the atomizing liquid.
  • grooves 1B which are V- or U-shape in section and extend toward the edge portion lA of the rotary atomizing head 1.
  • the grooves 1B can be dispensed within some cases depending upon the physical properties of the atomizing feed liquid.
  • a liquid feed tube 5 which directs the atomizing liquid toward the liquid contact surface 4 is securely mounted on the casing of the motor 2.
  • a spout nozzle 6 is attached to the distal end of the liquid feed tube 5 and discharges toward a position in the vicinity of the rotational center of the liquid contact surface 4.
  • the rear end of the liquid feed tube 5 is connected to the end of a liquid feed hose 7 which is also supported on the casing of the motor 2.
  • the other end of the liquid feed hose 7 is connected to a liquid tank or reservoir 9 through a pump 8 which delivers the feed liquid under pressure.
  • the liquid tank 9 serves as a reservoir for a paint when the sprayer is used for paint coating, and as a reservoir for the stock of fat and oil or a resin in the case of a spray-granulator.
  • the atomizing liquid which is delivered under pressure from the pump 8 is spouted toward the liquid contact surface 4 through the spout nozzle 6 which is, as particularly shown in Figure 2, provided with a liquid spout hole 6A, a spherical projection 6B which surrounds the spout hole 6A, and a V-shaped guide groove 6C which is cut across the spherical projection 6B to form lips on opposite sides of the spout hole 6A.
  • the liquid which is spouted under pressure from the spout hole 6A is formed into a spreading pattern and directed toward the liquid contact surface 4 substantially in an elliptic shape in plan view as shown in Figure 3(a).
  • the liquid spout hole 6A of the nozzle is preferred to have an equivalent orifice diameter of about 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm to obtain a spouted pattern of about 13 mm to 20 mm in length of its major axis.
  • the shape of the liquid spout pattern is determined by the shape of the guide groove 6C.
  • the feed liquid is spouted in a circular shape in plan view as shown in Figure 3(b) or in an arcuate shape as shown in Figure 3(c). It is to be noted that the liquid spout pattern may be of any arbitrary shape in plan view as long as the liquid is spread toward the liquid contact surface 4 of the rotary atomizing head 1.
  • the rotational shaft 3 is driven from the motor 2 to rotate at high speed the rotary atomizing head 1 which is mounted on the rotational shaft 3, and then the pump 8 is actuated to deliver the atomizing liquid to the spout nozzle 6 under a predetermined pressure to spurt the liquid toward the liquid contact surface 4 from the spout hole 6A of the nozzle 6.
  • the feed liquid which is spouted in a pattern of an elliptic shape in plan view and spreading in a sectoral shape by the provision of the guide groove 6C, and the spread liquid film undergoes reductions in thickness to a certain extent before reaching the liquid contact surface 4.
  • the spurted liquid intimately covers the liquid contact surface 4 in the form of a thin film.
  • the liquid spout nozzle 6 is preferred to be oriented toward a position as close as possible to the rotational center of the liquid contact surface 4 where the linear velocity is smaller. By so doing, the liquid film can be adhered to the liquid contact surface 4 more intimately.
  • the spacing distance between the spout nozzle 6 and the liquid contact surface 4 should be in a range in which the spurted liquid can reach the liquid contact surface while it still retains the form of a thin film without undergoing atomization. This is because the spouted liquid is scattered if it is atomized before reaching the liquid contact surface 4.
  • the thin film of the feed liquid which is adhered on the liquid contact surface in the above-described manner is caused to spread toward the circumference of the liquid contact surface 4 under the influence of the centrifugal force, and further undergoes uniform reductions in thickness before reaching the edge portion lA of the atomizing head 1.
  • the atomizing liquid which has been formed into a film of an extremely small thickness is divided by the grooves lB in the edge portion 1A to form very fine cusps of high uniformity in diameter around the circumference of the atomizing head 1.
  • the cusps thus formed are atomized into fine and uniform particles by the mechanical atomizing action of the centrifugal force.
  • the grooves 1B are extremely convenient for the formation of cusps, it is possible to form cusps of good condition without using the grooves lB depending upon the physical properties of the feed liquid.
  • Figure 4 shows the above-described rotary sprayer of the invention as applied to a paint applicator.
  • the rotary sprayer 10 is located in a coating booth with a conveyer 11 which is looped in- ⁇ -shape, so that a paint is sprayed on a workpiece 12 from the rotary sprayer 10 while the former is transferred by the conveyer 11.
  • a high voltage of a predetermined potential is applied to the rotary atomizing head 1 relative to the workpiece 12 which is maintained at the earth potential, thereby to form an electrostatic field between the rotary atomizing head 1 and the workpiece 12.
  • the rotary atomizing head 1 is electrically connected to a high voltage power supply 14 through a high voltage cable 13 as shown in Figure 4.
  • the high voltage power supply 14 is adapted to increase the commercial power to, for example, -30 to -120 KV and to apply same to the rotary atomizing head 1 through the high voltage cable 13.
  • the rotary sprayer 10 may be vertically moved supported on a lift cylinder 15 and secured to the piston rod of the cylinder 15 through an insulating bracket 16 which is connected to the high voltage cable 13.
  • the paint is fed under pressure to the spout nozzle 6 by operation of the pump 8, while the rotary atomizing head 1 is rotated at a high speed by the motor 2 and simultaneously supplied with a high voltage by operation of the high voltage power supply 14.
  • the rotary sprayer 10 is operated in this manner, the fine particles of the paint which are atomized by the rotary atomizing head 1 are effectively applied to the workpiece 12 by the action of the electrostatic field formed between the rotary atomizing head 1 and the workpiece 12.
  • the feed liquid which is a paint in this particular embodiment can be atomized into fine particles of narrow particle size distribution by the operation of the rotary sprayer 10, so that it is possible to form a uniform coating film of the paint on the workpiece 12 and therefore to improve the quality of the coating to a marked degree.
  • FIG. 5 there is schematically illustrated an example of a spray-granulator incorporating the rotary sprayer according to the present invention, in which the rotary atomizing head 1 of the rotary sprayer 10 is disposed in a drying tower 21 of the granulator.
  • a drying air feed pipe or duct 22 which is opened at one end into the drying tower 21 is connected at the other end to an air blower 23 through an air heater or furnace 24 which heats up the air from the blower 23.

  • there may be employed other types of collectors such as a cyclone, bag filter or the like.
  • the stock liquid to be atomized which is stored in the tank 9, is fed under pressure to the spout nozzle 6 by the pump 8 and sprayed from the rotary atomizing head 1 in the same manner as described hereinbefore.
  • the fine particles of the liquid which is sprayed from the rotary atomizing head 1 are dried in the drying tower 21 by contact with the hot air which is fed through the drying air feed pipe 22 and dropped into the granule collector 25.
  • the granulated fine particles thus produced are taken out through the discharge port 25A at the lower end of the granule collector 25.

  • the positions of the liquid spout nozzles 107 and 108 are suitably determined according to the flow rates of the liquid through the respective nozzles. In a case where a liquid is spouted at a large flow rate through the nozzle 107 and at a small flow rate through the nozzle 108, it is preferred to locate the nozzle 107 of large flow rate in a position spaced from the center of rotation of the liquid contact surface 104 and to locate the nozzle 108 of small flow rate in a position close to the rotational center.
  • the base ends of the tubes 105 and 106 are connected to liquid feed hoses 109 and 110 which are in turn connected to the storage tanks or reservoirs 113 and 114 through pumps 111 and 112, respectively.
  • the rotary sprayer of the above-described construction can be used as a paint applicator or spray-granulator in the same manner as the first embodiment.
  • the spout nozzles 107 and 108 may be used for spurting a liquid of the same kind or for spurting simultaneously two different kinds of liquids.
  • reaction hardening type paints are usually obtained by mixing a base material such as an unsaturated polyester-base paint or a polyurethane-base paint with a hardener. These sorts of paints with small solvent content have an advantage that it can be dried at room temperature or at a low temperature below 100°C, coupled with other excellent properties.
  • the reaction hardening type paints involve inherent problems in handling. For example, they normally have a short pot life, so that they undergo reaction hardening in a relatively short time period and the spray-coating becomes difficult when the base material and the hardener are left in mixed state. Besides, it is necessary to spray the paint with the base material and hardener in uniformly mixed state since otherwise the paint would form irregularly hardened spots on the surface of the workpiece, causing degradation in the quality of the coating.
  • the present embodiment of the invention can be suitably applied as a reaction hardening type paint applicator.
  • a paint applicator for two-component reaction hardening type polyurethane paint which is obtained by mixing a base material and a hardener on the liquid contact surface 104 at a ratio of, for example, 3:1 - 10:1 by weight.

  • the mixing ratio of the base material and the hardener is 3:1 - 10:1, so that the base material is delivered under a higher pressure than the hardener. Consequently, the spout nozzle 107 for the base material is opened toward a position on the liquid contact surface 104 which is spaced away from its rotational center, namely, toward a position where the linear velocity is relatively large.
  • the spout nozzle 108 for the hardener is opened toward a position on the liquid contact surface 104 which is close to its rotational center, namely, to a position of small linear velocity.
  • the hardener which is fed under pressure to the spout nozzle 108 by the pump 112 is spurted from the nozzle 108 in an elliptic shape as shown at A l in Figure 7(a) and its thickness is reduced to some extent to form a thin filmy form before adhering on the liquid contact surface 104.
  • the liquid film of the hardener which has adhered on the liquid contact surface 104 undergoes further reductions in thickness while it is spread toward the peripheral edge portions under the influence of the centrifugal force.
  • the base material is spurted from the nozzle 107 in a pattern which is also of an elliptic shape in plan view as shown at A 2 in Figure 7(a) and spread onto the liquid contact surface 104 in a thin filmy form and mixed into the liquid film of the hardener.
  • the base material is spurted under a predetermined liquid pressure, it readily mixes into the liquid film of the hardener to form a reaction hardening type paint consisting of a uniform mixture of the base material and the hardener.
  • the paint thus formed is further reduced in film thickness as it is spread toward the edge portion 101A and sprayed therefrom in the form of fine and uniform particles.
  • the base material and hardener are not mixed until they reach the liquid contact surface 104 and are uniformly mixed with each other on the liquid contact surface 104, so that it is possible to effect the spray coating even if the reaction hardening type paint is of a short pot life and to harden and dry the paint uniformly over the entire coated surface free of the trouble of irregular coated spots.
  • the positions of the spout nozzles 107 and 108 may be determined according to the flow rates of the liquid to be spurted therefrom. For example, in a case where equivalent amounts of liquid are spouted from the two nozzles, they are located in positions which are substantially equidistant from the liquid contact surface 104 as shown in Figure 7(b).
  • the nozzles 107 and 108 are not necessarily required to be located on the opposite sides of the rotational shaft 103, and may be located in positions on the same side as shown in Figure 7(c) or in angularly shifted positions as shown in Figure 7(d). Further, there may be provided a couple of spout nozzle for each one of the base material and hardener as shown particularly in Figure 7(e).
