Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrostatic spray gun, in particular for powder, with an annular gap formed between an outer tube and a core tube, which is connected to a connection for material and / or gas, and an electrode, which is connected to a high-voltage line running in the core tube .
  • the annular gap serves to supply a powder-air mixture.
  • the core tube protrudes forward over the outer tube and has a circumferential gap through which rotating control air can be fed.
  • the ionization takes place with the aid of a third air flow, which is fed centrally and then introduced into the powder cloud at the mouth via a conical gap, which is partly delimited by a disk-shaped electrode.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an electrostatic spray gun of the type described above, in which the ionization can be improved.
  • the electrode is arranged within the length of the core tube and passes through the wall of the core tube with at least two tips offset in the circumferential direction.
  • the tips of the electrode can be inside the annular gap.
  • the core tube protrudes forward over the outer tube, it is recommended that the electrode penetrate the wall in the middle of the protruding part of the core tube. The ionization therefore takes place where the powder-air mixture has already emerged from the narrow annular gap and has therefore reduced its speed. At this point, the corona discharge and the electrostatic field can spread freely and without hindrance through the insulating outer tube.
  • a channel runs inside the core tube, which is also connected to a connection for material and / or gas, it is recommended that the electrode also have discharge sections in the core tube channel. In this way, practically all of the medium supplied can be ionized with a single electrode, so that very intensive ionization of the material, in particular the powder, is possible.
  • the foremost part of the high-voltage line is preferably a contact element which is pressed against the central part of the electrode by a spring.
  • the spring ensures a certain contact pressure, which is maintained even in rough operation. Tolerance differences are also compensated for.
  • the spring and rod-shaped transmission elements can be arranged in a protective tube which carries the contract element at the front end.
  • This protective tube facilitates installation and guides the rod-shaped transmission elements which transmit the spring force and the electrical voltage.
  • Limiting resistances are particularly suitable as rod-shaped transmission elements.
  • the core tube channel is advantageously formed by the annular gap between the protective tube and the core tube.
  • the protective tube and the limiting resistors located in it are constantly cooled.
  • the annular gap allows the air supplied via the core tube duct to impinge on a plurality of discharge sections of the electrode arranged off-center, which improves the ionization.
  • the electrode tips are preferably arranged in flat, dome-like depressions of the core tube surface. This creates sufficient space for the formation of the corona discharge without the tips having to protrude too far beyond the surface of the core tube. In some cases it is even sufficient if the tips end within the circumferential surface of the core tube.
  • the arrangement of the tips depends on the design and the application of the spray gun.
  • the tips can be arranged asymmetrically, for example on one side. In most cases, however, a symmetrical arrangement is preferred.
  • the tips can be arranged at the same angular distance from one another, which results in a symmetrical ionization pattern which, in the case of four or more tips, is approximately uniform in the circumferential direction.
  • the electrode consists of wire sections.
  • intersecting wire sections can be inserted through corresponding bores in the core tube wall.
  • the electrode can also consist of a star-shaped sheet metal cut.
  • an impact body is connected upstream of the mouth, which is connected to the core tube channel via an annular gap-like channel.
  • ionized air from the core tube channel is mixed with the powder-air mixture from the annular gap outside the core tube, which enables intensive ionization
  • the impact body is preferably on a front resilient section of one in the core tube inserted holder snapped. It can therefore be easily replaced and adapted to the respective working conditions, including ionization.
  • the holder is snapped onto a pin in the core tube with a rear resilient section.
  • the holder can also be easily removed and reinserted, which makes replacement and cleaning easier.
  • an electrostatic spray gun is illustrated, the handle 1 with a high-voltage line connection 2 and an air connection 3 and a throttle valve 4 in the air duct, an intermediate piece 5 with a connection 6 for a feed line 7, via which a powder-air mixture can be supplied and has an outer tube 8 plugged onto the intermediate piece 5 and a core tube 9 screwed into the intermediate tube.
  • the powder-air mixture is therefore supplied via an annular gap 10 between the outer tube 8 and the core tube 9 and exits the mouth 11 as an annular jet.
  • an electrode 12 is arranged, which consists of two intersecting wire sections 13 and 14. These are inserted through corresponding openings 15 in the wall of the core tube 9 and can be connected to one another in the middle.
  • there are four outer tips 16 which protrude outward from the core tube 9 and cause a corona discharge in the ring jet of the powder-air mixture emerging from the mouth 11. So that the tips do not have to protrude too far, a spherical cap-like shallow depression 17 is provided in the outer wall of the core tube 9.
  • the wire sections 19 exposed in the interior 18 of the core tube 9 likewise form discharge sections which are able to ionize the air flowing in via the line 7.
  • the center of the electrode 12 is touched by a contact piece 20 which is loaded by a spring 21 with the interposition of two rod-shaped transmission elements 22 and 23, here high-voltage resistors.
  • the spring is supported on a rigid high-voltage line 24 which is connected to the high-voltage connection 22.
  • the end section of this high-voltage line 24, the spring 21 and the transmission elements 22 and 23 are accommodated in a protective tube 25 which is screwed into the intermediate piece 5 and forms a guide for the transmission elements 22, 23.
  • the outer diameter of the protective tube 25 is smaller than the inner diameter of the core tube 9, so that an annular gap 26 remains, through which air supplied from the connection 3 is passed via the electrode 12 to the mouth 27 of the core tube, the protective tube 25 and the contained therein Resistors are cooled.
  • a holder 28 provided on the outside with axial grooves is inserted into the mouth 27 and snapped onto a cross pin 29 with a rear section which is made resilient by axial slots.
  • An impact body 30 is snapped onto the front section of the holder, which is likewise made resilient by axial slots. This results in an annular gap-like channel 31 for the emerging air, which is directed into the ring jet of the powder-air mixture with the aid of the impact body 30, so that a defined powder cloud is created.
  • the holder 28 has an axial channel 32 through which part of the air coming from the connection 3 and ionized at the electrode 12 can be emitted, which flushes the empty space behind the impact body.
  • a sleeve 33 is inserted into the handpiece 1, which projects forward and engages in a bore 34 of the intermediate piece 5. It is then sufficient to use a tensioning device, e.g. B. axial screws to connect the handle 1 and the intermediate piece 5 along the separating surface 35, a channel 36 in the intermediate piece 5 coming into connection with the corresponding channel 37 in the handpiece.
  • a tensioning device e.g. B. axial screws to connect the handle 1 and the intermediate piece 5 along the separating surface 35, a channel 36 in the intermediate piece 5 coming into connection with the corresponding channel 37 in the handpiece.
  • the desired good ionization of the powder results from the fact that a strong corona discharge occurs at four tips 16 which are evenly distributed over the circumference, and because the shaping air supplied via the impact body 30 is also ionized.
  • the electrode 112 is located at a point where the tips 116 are located in the annular gap 110 between the outer tube 108 and the core tube 109 .
  • the spring 121 also acts as a contact piece.
  • the chain of rod-shaped transmission elements 122 and 123 is supported directly on the high-voltage line.
  • a protective tube is not provided. Rather, the transmission elements 122 and 123 are guided in the inner core tube channel 126 with the aid of guide sleeves 138 having longitudinal grooves.
  • the impact body 130 is preceded by a swirl device 139 in the form of helical grooves for the shaped air, so that it undergoes a swirl.
  • FIG. 4 shows that the gun illustrated in FIG. 1 can be converted into an automatic spray gun simply by replacing the handle 1 with a holder 101.
  • the holder is fastened to a supporting structure by means of its bore 140.
  • 5 to 8 show modified wire electrodes.
  • the electrode 212 of FIG. 5 has only two corona tips 216. This is of interest for the coating of some workpieces on which Two opposing sides require a stronger wrap. If the spray gun emits a flat jet, it may also be of interest to arrange this electrode either in the plane of the flat jet or perpendicular to it.
  • 6 and 7 show that electrodes 312 and 412 can also be equipped with more tips 316 or fewer tips 416 than the number 4 illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • 8 shows an electrode 512 with tips 516 arranged only on one side. This is recommended if the desired wrap must be particularly strong on one side.
  • the illustrated wire electrodes can be manufactured in such a way that the individual wires are inserted into bores in the core tube. Either the position of the wires is sufficiently secured by friction; or a cohesion is created by soldering or gluing in the center.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates a star electrode 612 made of sheet metal, which also has corona tips 616.
  • Such an electrode can be molded in, for example, in the manufacture of a plastic core tube.
  • the idea of the invention can also be applied to liquid spray guns, in particular to those in which atomizing and / or shaping air is supplied via an outer annular gap while the liquid is being fed through the core tube channel.
  • a swirl device can also be provided in the annular gap 31.
  • the gun can also be used for multi-component operation, where one component is fed through an outer annular gap and the other component through a channel in the core tube.
