Definitions

  • submersion injecting, impregnation, expulsion of the sap ; techniques which protect the building elements by means of special treatment liquids.
  • Submersion is a much applied technique, based on impregnation, which offers good results.
  • the efficiency of the submersion technique is not very high : the necessary amount of liquid is very large, this large amount is subject to ageing processes because the product isn't undergoing enough renewal, a lot of space is needed when it concerns an automatic transit-system, the vaporization above the surface of the open submersion basin harms the quality of the treatment liquid, is hurtful for the health of people in the proximity of the basin and increases the fire- and explosion-risk.
  • a second technique based on impregnation is the one by which the building materials are placed into a closeable booth. Spread over the innerwalls of the booth, there are fixed nozzles which are directed inwardly.
  • These known spraying apparatus are based on a method by which the elements are surrounded by a dense cloud of drops of the treatment liquid. In this way an effect similar to the effect obtained by submersion in a basin with treatment liquid, is obtained : not only the surfaces turned to the nozzles, but all surfaces and corners of the elements are steeped with the treatment liquid.
  • this closed booth is an economical alternative for the open submersion basins.
  • the method in accordance with the invention for treating building materials, windows, doors, panels, all kinds of woodwork and other pieces out of wood or out of other materials is characterized by surrounding with intervals the elements with a cloud of drops of treatment liquid : periods in which the booth is filled with such a cloud are alternated with periods without supply of treatment liquid.
  • the treatment liquid gets time to impregnate in the elements, and the excess of treatment liquid gets time to run down from the surfaces.
  • the treatment liquid which lands on the elements during the following spraying period finds fairly dry surfaces on which no layer of treatment liquid is to be detected, under itself, so that the impregnation can act again.
  • This method of successive impregnation waves, caused by surrounding discontinuously with a dense cloud of drops of the treatment liquid results in a bigger impregnation depth or a better protection of the elements.
  • the method in accordance with the invention can be carried out by the current spraying-devices with fixed nozzles spread over the innerwalls of the booth, by activating with intervals the pump or pumps which supply the nozzles with treatment liquid.
  • the spraying apparatus in accordance with the invention based on the method in accordance with the invention, is intented to remedy the higher mentioned problems.
  • the spraying apparatus in accordance with the invention allows to treat the elements with all existing treatment liquids, thus even those treatment liquids with volatile components with a low inflaming temperature or with pigments and resinous components. This means that the treatment liquid has a certain colour and gives this colour along with the materialA.
  • the improvements even allow to use several colours by turns with one spraying apparatus.
  • the spraying apparatus in accordance with the invention for treating building materials, all kinds of woodwork and other pieces out of wood or out of other materials is characterized by a frame which is movable to and fro within the booth and which carries the nozzles.
  • the spraying apparatus in accordance with the invention is further characterized by two or more hoses which are wound on an auto-rewinding hose reel and which forms the connection between the nozzles on the moving frame and the fixed tanks.
  • the spraying apparatus in accordance with the invention is characterized by the connection conduits which link up the different tanks, comprising solvent and treatment liquid, mutually and which allow the liquid to be transferred in a specific direction.
  • Booth (1) (fig. 1), made of resistant material, is provided on its both sides with a door (4), this allows the elements, to be treated, to be brought in on one side of the booth (1), and the treated elements to be taken out on the other side.
  • the described case of the booth (1) has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. It is also possible to provide the booth (1) with only one door (4).
  • the system (2) of tanks, pumps, conduits and steering valves is set up. Further, a steering panel (3) is provided.
  • a frame (5) is provided within the booth (1), frame (5) which is hung up to a waggon (6)which is hung up on four wheels (7).
  • These wheels (7) rest two by two on profiles (8), fixed on the walls over the length of the booth (1) (also fig. 4).
  • profiles (8) runs an endless chain (9), which is set into motion by an electromotor (10), placed outside the booth (1), by way of a transmission belt (11).
  • the frame (5) forms within the booth (1) an inscribed rectangle.
  • a tube (14) is provided, which supplies the nozzles (13), which are directed inwardly.
  • a second tube (49) is provided on the frame (5), which supplies the second series of nozzles (65) which are directed to the outerwalls and to the chain (9).
  • connectionhook (52) is mounted on both sides of one or more links of the chains (9).
  • carrierbar (53) is mounted, on which sits a roller (54).
  • This roller (54) is found between the four sides of the frame (55), mounted on frame (5).
  • This frame (55) allows the roller (54) to pass over the difference in height between the upper side (56) and the lower side (57) of the chain (9).
  • This roller (54) takes along the frame (55), and thus the frame (5), during its movement to and fro on the chain (9).
  • Such a chain (9) is provided on both sides of the booth (1) , so that the carrierbar (53) connects both chains (9) and on both sides of the frame (5) a frame (55), in which a roller (54) is found, is mounted, so that the frame (5) is pulled forward symmetrically by means of both frames (55). Possibly only one frame (55) can be provided in the middle of the frame (5). It suffices then to place one chain (9) in the middle, against the ceiling of booth (1).
  • the chain (9) runs around chain-wheels (58). On the spindle of chain-wheel (58), a second chain-wheel (59), driven by a chain (60) out of the main spindle (61) with chain-wheel (62), is mounted.
  • the main spindle (61) runs through the wall of the booth (1) and is driven on his turn by means of a transmission belt (11) out of the electromotor (10), placed outside the booth (1).
  • Fig. 4 further shows the profiles (8) on which the wheels (7) of the small waggon (6) run.
  • hoses (17 & 50) which are windable on two or more auto-rewinding hose reels (resp. 16 & 51).
  • Such an auto-rewinding hose reel (16 & 51) consist of a fixed axial tube (resp. 15. & 66) functioning as a spindle around which the hose reel (resp. 16 & 51) rotates; and of a springsystem, worked in within the hose reel (16 & 51), which makes the hose (resp. 17 & 50) being rewinded automatically when the distance between the extremity of the hose (17 or 50) and the hose reel (16 or 51) becomes smaller.
  • the extremity of the hose (17 or 50) acts respectively as the discharge or the supply.
  • These hose reels (16 or 51) can be mounted on the frame (5) or the waggon (6).
  • the axial pipes (resp. 15 & 66) act then as the discharge of the hoses (resp. 17 & 50) and thus supply to the tubes (14 & 49) on the frame.
  • the extremities of the hoses (resp. 17 & 50) act then as the supply or receive solvent or treatment liquid from the pumps.
  • the hose reels (16 & 51) can also be mounted in the booth (1), as represented on figure 2 where both hose reels (16 & 51) are worked into the ceiling of the booth (1), the axial tubes (resp. 15 & 66) act then as supply, the extremities of the hoses (resp. 17 & 50) are then the discharge or supply to the tubes (14 & 49) on the frame (5).
  • the springsystem in the hose reels (16 & 51) allows the hoses to be unrolled when the frame (5) moves away from the hose reels (16 & 51).
  • the springtension is in such a way that both hoses (resp. 17 & 50) are rewound on the hose reels (resp. 16 & 51) under the reverse movement. This system prevents the hoses (17 & 50) to fling about within the booth (1).
  • the first hose (17) is connected only with the first tube (14) with the nozzles (13) which are directed inwardly. This first hose (17) supplies only treatment liquid.
  • the second hose (50) is connected with both tubes (14 & 49) and supplies only solvent. Both hoses (17 & 50) are connected with their respective tubes (14 & 49) by means of repercussion-valves (68).
  • a grating (12) is placed above the gutter (29), which allows the to be treated elements to be placed in the booth (1) or-to be driven in or out the booth (1) before and after the treatment, hung up on one or more special carts.
  • the booth (1) is further provided with one or more ventilators (28) which draw off the developed vapours and blow in fresh air when the treatment or cleaning process is finished.
  • the ventilators (28) are activated each time one of the doors (4) is opened, for safety reasons.
  • the system (2) (fig. 1) of tanks, pumps and conduits (fig. 3), which supplies to the axial tubes (15 & 66) (fig. 2), consists substantially of at least one tank (21) for the treatment liquid, a tank (22) for polluted solvent and a tank (23) for clean solvent ; of a pump (24) for the treatment liquid and a pump (25) for the solvent, polluted or clean ; and of a number of connection conduits and a number of steering valves.
  • polluted solvent indicates that solvent which is already mixed with an amount of treatment liquid, as it has already served several times for cleaning the booth, the nozzles and the conduits which are in common for solvent and treatment liquid.
  • clean solvent indicates that solvent which isn't mixed with treatment liquid.
  • a connection conduit (31) links both tanks (22 & 23) with a first steering valve (32) which is linked wi,th a second steering valve (34) via connection conduit (33), which leads the liquid through pump (25).
  • Steering valve (34) supplies in one position to the axial tube (66) (fig. 2) via conduit (41) and in the other position to a third steering valve (35) via a connection conduit (36).
  • Steering valve (35) supplies in one position to tank (22) via a connection conduit (37) and in the other position to tank (21) via a connection conduit (38).
  • the possible flowdirections in these connection conduits (31, 33, 36, 37, 38) and conduit (41) are indicated with an arrow.
  • Conduit (41) leads successively through a manometer, a tap, a filter, a tap and a manometer ; indicated on figure 3 with number 39.
  • the connection conduit (63) links tank (21) via pump (24) with a steering valve (42) which supplies in one position back to tank (21) via connection conduit (64) and in the other position to conduit (44) connected with axial tube (15) (fig. 2).
  • Conduit (44) leads successively through a manometer, a tap, a filter, a tap and a manometer ; indicated on figure 3 under number 40.
  • a drainage conduit (30) (fig.
  • the pollluted solvent dilutes the major part of the remaining treatment liquid in booth (1), and returns via drain conduit (30), via steering valve (43) in position A and steering valve (45) in position B to its own tank (22). After that, the same is done with clean solvent with steering valves (32, 34, 43 and 45) all in position A.
  • the connection conduits allow the solvent to be transferred.
  • treatment liquid under concentrated form must be added and this concentrated liquid must be diluted with polluted solvent.
  • pump (25) and steering valves (32 & 34) in position Band steering valve (35) in position A the polluted solvent is pumped from tank (22) to tank (21).
  • tank (22) can be replenished with clean solvent by means of pump (25) and steering valve (32) in position A and steering valves (34 and 35) in position B.
  • the levels of tanks (21, 22 or 23) can be read visually, by means of a float or a gauge-glass, or can be continously registrated by electrical means.
  • the steering valves can be hand operated or operated full automatically by steering panel (3). This steering panel (3) steers, on the basis of the chosen program : treatment of elements or cleaning the booth (1) or other procedures, the steering valves, pumps (24 & 25), the electromotor (10) and ventilator (28).
  • the program for treating the elements can for example consist of :
  • more than two tanks (22, 23) can be provided for the solvent to divide it in more than two grades of pollution.
  • the solvent can be transferred to a tank of higher pollution.
  • two or more tanks (21) must be provided and for each treatment liquid a separate hose reel (16), with a hose (17), which supplies to tube (14), via a repercussion valve (68), a seperate pump (24), steering valve (42), connection conduits (63 and 64) and conduit (44), with a system (40) of taps, filters and manometers, must be provided.
  • a repercussion valve (68), a seperate pump (24), steering valve (42), connection conduits (63 and 64) and conduit (44), with a system (40) of taps, filters and manometers must be provided.
  • the frame (5) can possibly be provided with a separate tube (14) with nozzles (13) for each colour, in order to separate the different colours completely.
  • the treatment liquid which stands still between a pump (24) and a repercussion valve (68) in a conduit (44) and a hose (17) cannot harden as everything is airtight.
  • the spraying apparatus in accordance with the invention with the frame (5) movable to and fro and the continuous spraying nozzles (13) combines the advantages of method in accordance with the invention, viz. surrounding the elements discontinuously with a dense cloud of treatment liquid drops, with the advantages which the limited number of nozzles (13) for the treatment liquid entails.
  • the booth (1) Due to the second series of nozzles (65) and the supply of solvent via hose (50) to both tubes (14 & 49) or to both series of nozzles (13 & 65), the booth (1) is perfectly cleanable inside. Solvent and treatment liquid are supplied totally seperated, except for the tube (14) and nozzles (13).
  • the connection conduits which link up the tanks (21, 22 & 23) mutually, allow an economical use of the solvent.
  • the possibility to bring the elements in or out of the booth (1) by means of carts or racks allows to use these carts or racks as stockage before or after the treatment and for the further finishing. Endless stacking up and unloading and the labour involved in doing so, is avoided in this way.
