Abstract

In order largely to prevent formation of mist in the case of a nozzle head which is connected to a high-pressure paint spraying gun, the dispenser (8) from which the colour emerges has a very small wall thickness of less than 0.5 mm. The round air jet nozzle (16) which surrounds the dispenser (8) and over whose outlet surface the dispenser (8) protrudes is provided with a depression (17) which fans out the round air jet. The round air jet nozzle (16) is surrounded by a ring of air bores (18) which open in the same annular space (13) as the round air jet nozzle (16) and which have a smaller overall cross-sectional surface than the surface of the round air jet nozzle (16) and which produce an annular air screen which envelops the round air jet. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Düsenkopf für eine Farbspritzpistole nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a nozzle head for a paint spray gun according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Düsenköpfe werden bei Hochdruckpistolen verwendet, die mit einem Luftdruck der Druckluft von bis zu 4 bar betrieben werden. Hierbei findet eine sehr feine Zerstäubung der Farbe statt. Jedoch ist der Nachteil zu verzeichnen, daß eine Farbnebelbildung auftritt, die für den Benutzer der Pistole schädlich ist. Bei diesen Düsenköpfen wird also mit hohem Luftdruck und relativ geringer Luftmenge gearbeitet. Bei einer unter der Bezeichnung SATAjet bekannten Spritzpistole weist die Rundstrahlluftdüse des Düsenkopfs eine Austrittsfläche von 2 bis 3 mm² auf, aus der die Luft mit hoher Geschwindigkeit austritt und dabei an dem etwa 0,1 mm über die Austrittsfläche überstehenden Zäpfchen vorbeiströmt. Dabei wird Farbe aus der Farbdüse mitgerissen und zerstäubt. Je feiner diese Zerstäubung ist, um so stärker ist die Nebelbildung, d. h. der Anteil an zerstäubter Farbe, der aus dem eigentlichen Farbstrahl austritt. Die aus der Rundstrahlluftdüse austretende Luft bildet einen scharf begrenzten Ringstrahl, der sich im Abstand zum Düsenkopf auffächert. Im Bereich des Düsenkopfs weist die Außenseite dieses Rundluftstrahls eine sehr hohe Geschwindigkeitsdifferenz zur Umgebungsluft auf. Die Farbe wird bei ihrer Zerstäubung auf relativ hohe Geschwindigkeiten beschleunigt.Such nozzle heads are used in high-pressure guns that are operated with an air pressure of the compressed air of up to 4 bar. The paint is atomized very finely. However, there is a disadvantage that paint mist occurs which is harmful to the user of the gun. These nozzle heads therefore work with high air pressure and a relatively small amount of air. In the case of a spray gun known under the name SATAjet, the omnidirectional air nozzle of the nozzle head has an outlet area of 2 to 3 mm², from which the air emerges at high speed and flows past the cone protruding about 0.1 mm above the outlet area. This entrains paint from the paint nozzle and atomizes it. The finer this atomization, the greater the fog formation, i.e. H. the amount of atomized paint that emerges from the actual ink jet. The air emerging from the round jet air nozzle forms a sharply defined ring jet which fans out at a distance from the nozzle head. In the area of the nozzle head, the outside of this round air jet has a very high speed difference to the ambient air. The paint is accelerated to relatively high speeds when atomized.

Um diese Nebelbildung zu vermindern, werden Niederdruckpistolen verwendet, die bei einem Luftdruck von maximal 0,7 bar und großer Luftmenge betrieben werden. Solche Niederdruckpistolen sind beispielsweise Gegenstand der DE-A 28 22 650 und der DE-A 33 18 205. Gemeinsames Merkmal ist dabei, daß die aus der Rundstrahlluftdüse austretende Druckluft bei geringem Druck und einem großen Volumen austritt. Deshalb weist die Austrittsfläche der Rundstrahlluftdüse eine Fläche von etwa 15 mm² auf. Der Farbstrahl wird hierbei von einem Luftkegel umgeben, der das Austreten von Farbnebel weitgehend verhindert. Dabei wird jedoch der Nachteil in Kauf genommen, daß die Farbe nur unzureichend zerstäubt wird und in Form relativ großer Tropfen auf die zu beschichtende Oberfläche gelangt. Teile dieser Tropfen verlassen den Spritzstrahl und fallen herunter, was deutlich erkennbar ist, wenn ein Papier auf den Boden unter den Strahl gelegt wird.In order to reduce this fog formation, low pressure guns are used which are operated at an air pressure of maximum 0.7 bar and a large amount of air. Such low pressure guns are the subject of DE-A 28, for example 22 650 and DE-A 33 18 205. A common feature is that the compressed air emerging from the omnidirectional air nozzle emerges at low pressure and a large volume. The exit surface of the omnidirectional air nozzle therefore has an area of approximately 15 mm 2. The paint jet is surrounded by an air cone that largely prevents the escape of paint mist. However, the disadvantage is accepted that the paint is atomized only insufficiently and reaches the surface to be coated in the form of relatively large drops. Parts of these drops leave the spray jet and fall down, which is clearly visible when a paper is placed on the floor under the jet.

Es besteht die Aufgabe, den Düsenkopf so auszubilden, daß eine Nebelbildung trotz feiner Zerstäubung bei seiner Verwendung mit einer Hochdruckfarbspritzpistole weitgehend vermieden wird.The object is to design the nozzle head in such a way that fog formation is largely avoided despite fine atomization when it is used with a high-pressure paint spray gun.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. Advantageous refinements can be found in the subclaims.

Mit den Merkmalen des Düsenkopfs werden folgende Effekte erreicht:
Durch die geringe Wandstärke des Zäpfchens ist eine deutliche Abnahme der Nebelbildung feststellbar, da die aus der Ringstrahlluftdüse austretende Luft weitgehend ungestört am Zäpfchen vorbeiströmt.
The following effects are achieved with the characteristics of the nozzle head:
Due to the small wall thickness of the suppository, a clear decrease in the formation of fog can be determined, since the air emerging from the ring jet air nozzle flows largely undisturbed past the suppository.

Durch die Senkung wird erreicht, daß der Rundluftstrahl bereits aufgefächert wird, bevor die Luft an der Düsenöffnung der Farbdüse vorbeiströmt. Der kegelringförmige Ringluftstrahl weist dabei innenseitig eine hohe, die Zerstäubung der Farbe begünstigende Strömungsgeschwindigkeit auf, die zur Außenseite des Luftkegels hin abnimmt.The lowering ensures that the round air jet is already fanned out before the air flows past the nozzle opening of the paint nozzle. The cone-shaped ring air jet has a high atomization inside the flow speed favoring the color, which decreases towards the outside of the air cone.

Die Luftbohrungen erzeugen einen Ringluftschirm um den Ringluftstrahl herum. Dieser Ringluftschirm bewirkt, daß eventuell aus dem Strahl austretende Farbtröpfchen in den Strahl hinein zurücktransportiert werden. Da die Gesamtquerschnittsfläche dieser Luftbohrungen kleiner ist als die der Rundstrahlluftdüse, ist der Energieinhalt des Ringluftschirms relativ gering, wodurch auch seine Strömungsgeschwindigkeit kleiner ist. Der Ringluftschirm wirkt deshalb als Gleitschicht zwischen dem sich schnell bewegenden zerstäubten Strahl und der ruhenden Umgebungsluft, wodurch das tangentiale Einströmen von Umgebungsluft in den zerstäubten Strahl weitgehend verhindert wird. Auch der Rückprall von Farbe bzw. das seitliche Abströmen des Farbnebels am zu beschichtenden Objekt wird durch diesen Ringluftschirm, der den Strahl insgesamt zusammenhält, deutlich vermindert.The air holes create a ring air screen around the ring air jet. This ring air screen has the effect that color droplets possibly emerging from the jet are transported back into the jet. Since the total cross-sectional area of these air bores is smaller than that of the omnidirectional air nozzle, the energy content of the ring air screen is relatively low, as a result of which its flow velocity is also lower. The ring air screen therefore acts as a sliding layer between the rapidly moving atomized jet and the still ambient air, which largely prevents the tangential inflow of ambient air into the atomized jet. The rebound of paint or the lateral outflow of the paint mist on the object to be coated is also significantly reduced by this ring air screen, which holds the jet together as a whole.

Durch die Merkmale der Unteransprüche wird folgendes erreicht:
Die wirksame Düsenfläche der Rundstrahlluftdüse ist gegenüber dem Düsenkopf einer Hochdruckpistole um den Faktor 2 bis 3 erhöht, ist jedoch gegenüber einer Niederdruckpistole um etwa den Faktor 3 geringer. Hierdurch wird das Rundstrahlluftvolumen erhöht und damit der Übergangsbereich von bewegter Strahlluft zur ruhenden Umgebungsluft. Der vorzeitige Ausfall von Farbtröpfchen aus dem Strahl nimmt deutlich ab, da die Farbe besser von Luft umhüllt wird. In Verbindung mit der kegelförmigen Auffächerung des Rundluftstrahls und damit dessen geringe Strömungsgeschwindigkeit am Außenrand wird das Abströmen von Farbtröpfchen aus dem Strahlzentrum nach außen drastisch vermindert.
The features of the subclaims achieve the following:
The effective nozzle area of the omnidirectional air nozzle is increased by a factor of 2 to 3 compared to the nozzle head of a high-pressure gun, but is approximately a factor of 3 less than that of a low-pressure gun. This increases the omnidirectional air volume and thus the transition area from moving jet air to the ambient air at rest. The premature drop of paint droplets from the jet decreases significantly since the paint is better enveloped by air. In connection with the conical fanning out of the round air jet and thus its low flow velocity at the outer edge, the outflow of paint droplets from the jet center to the outside is drastically reduced.

Da die Gesamtquerschnittsfläche der zum Ringraum verlaufenden Luftzuführungsbohrungen etwa gleich ist wie die Gesamtquerschnittsfläche der Rundstrahlluftdüse und der Luftbohrungen wird gegenüber dem Düsenkopf bei einer Hochdruckpistole eine Reduzierung der Strömungsgeschwindigkeiten beim Rundluftstrahl und beim Ringluftschirm erreicht.Since the total cross-sectional area of the air supply bores running to the annular space is approximately the same as the total cross-sectional area of the round jet air nozzle and the air bores, a reduction in the flow velocities in the round air jet and in the ring air screen is achieved compared to the nozzle head in a high pressure gun.

Die Wahl der Gesamtquerschnittsfläche der Hornstrahlluftdüsen bewirkt, daß gegenüber einer Hochdruckpistole der Energieinhalt und die Geschwindigkeit der aus diesen Düsen ausströmenden Luft größer ist. Man erhält dadurch einen leistungsfähigen Breitstrahl.The choice of the total cross-sectional area of the horn jet air nozzles has the effect that the energy content and the speed of the air flowing out of these nozzles is greater compared to a high-pressure gun. This gives you a powerful broad jet.

Die vertiefte Anordnung der Luftbohrungen in Bezug auf die Rundstrahlluftdüse führt dazu, daß sich bereits ein Ringluftschirm gebildet hat, wenn die aus den Luftbohrungen austretende Luft auf die Außenseite des Rundluftstrahls auftrifft. Das Vorsehen zweier unterschiedlich steiler Kegelstumpfflächen zwischen der Rundstrahlluftdüse und dem Kranz der Luftbohrungen verhindert, daß infolge der Sogwirkung bei den Luftbohrungen Farbtröpfchen in Richtung der Luftbohrungen fließen.The recessed arrangement of the air holes with respect to the round jet air nozzle means that a ring air screen has already formed when the air emerging from the air holes hits the outside of the round air jet. The provision of two differently steep frustoconical surfaces between the omnidirectional air nozzle and the rim of the air holes prevents paint droplets from flowing in the direction of the air holes as a result of the suction effect in the air holes.

Bei Verwendung dieses Düsenkopfes bei einer Hochdruckpistole wird erreicht, daß die Farbe fein zerstäubt wird, eine Nebelbildung weitgehend vermieden wird und das Abströmen von Farbtröpfchen aus dem Strahlzentrum nach außen deutlich vermindert wird. Der Düsenkopf weist also die Vorteile von Düsenköpfen bei Hoch- und Niederdruckpistolen auf, vermeidet jedoch deren Nachteile.When using this nozzle head with a high-pressure gun, the paint is atomized finely, fog formation is largely avoided and the outflow of paint droplets from the jet center to the outside is significantly reduced. The nozzle head thus has the advantages of nozzle heads in high and low pressure guns, but avoids their disadvantages.

Der Düsenkopf weist einen Farbdüsenkörper 1 auf, der über ein Gewinde 2 mit der Farbspritzpistole verbindbar ist. Umgeben wird dieser Farbdüsenkörper 1 von einem Luftdüsenkörper 3, der über eine Überwurfmutter 4 ebenfalls mit der Farbspritzpistole verbindbar ist. Der Farbdüsenkörper 1 weist eine zentrische Bohrung 5 auf, welche in eine konische Farbdüse 6 übergeht, die durch eine Düsennadel 7 verschließbar ist. Der Farbdüsenkörper 1 endet mit einem kreiszylindrischen Zäpfchen 8.The nozzle head has a paint nozzle body 1 which can be connected to the paint spray gun via a thread 2. This paint nozzle body 1 is surrounded by an air nozzle body 3, which can also be connected to the paint spray gun via a union nut 4. The paint nozzle body 1 has a central bore 5, which merges into a conical paint nozzle 6, which can be closed by a nozzle needle 7. The paint nozzle body 1 ends with a circular cylindrical cone 8.

Der Luftdüsenkörper 3 weist zwei einander diametral gegenüberliegende Hörner 9 auf, die jeweils eine Hornstrahlluftdüse 10 aufweisen. Diese Hornstrahlluftdüsen 10 kommunizieren mit Luftversorgungsbohrungen 11, die durch den Luftdüsenkörper 3 verlaufen und in einer Ringkammer 12 münden, die sich zwischen dem Farbdüsenkörper 1 und dem Luftdüsenkörper 3 bildet. Stirnseitig entsteht zwischen dem Farbdüsenkörper 1 und dem Luftdüsenkörper 3 ein Ringraum 13, zu welchem drei Luftversorgungsbohrungen 14 durch den Farbdüsenkörper 1 hindurch verlaufen. Diese Luftversorgungsbohrungen 14 münden an einer weiteren Ringkammer 15 an der Rückseite des Farbdüsenkörpers 1.The air nozzle body 3 has two diametrically opposed horns 9, each of which has a horn jet air nozzle 10. These horn jet air nozzles 10 communicate with air supply bores 11 which run through the air nozzle body 3 and open into an annular chamber 12 which is formed between the paint nozzle body 1 and the air nozzle body 3. On the face side, an annular space 13 is formed between the paint nozzle body 1 and the air nozzle body 3, to which three air supply bores 14 run through the paint nozzle body 1. These air supply bores 14 open into a further annular chamber 15 on the rear of the paint nozzle body 1.

Der Luftdüsenkörper 3 weist eine zentrische, das Zäpfchen 8 umgebende Bohrung auf, wodurch sich zwischen dem Zäpfchen 8 und dieser Bohrung eine Rundstrahlluftdüse 16 bildet. Die luftdüsenkörperseitige Bohrung der Rundstrahlluftdüse 16 ist außenseitig mit einer nach außen divergierenden Senkung 17 versehen. Das Zäpfchen 8 steht über die Austrittsfläche der Rundstrahlluftdüse 16 nach außen über.The air nozzle body 3 has a central bore which surrounds the suppository 8, as a result of which there is between the suppository 8 and this bore forms an omnidirectional air nozzle 16. The bore of the omnidirectional air nozzle 16 on the air nozzle body side is provided on the outside with a depression 17 which diverges outwards. The suppository 8 projects beyond the exit surface of the omnidirectional air nozzle 16.

Die Rundstrahlluftdüse 16 ist von einem Kranz von Luftbohrungen 18 umgeben. Diese Luftbohrungen münden im Ringraum 13. Diese Luftbohrungen 18 sind in Richtung der Strahlachse 19 konvergierend geneigt angeordnet. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel beträgt die Neigung 10°. Die Austrittsmündungen der Luftbohrungen 18 sind in Bezug auf die Austrittsfläche der Rundstrahlluftdüse 16 vertieft angeordnet. Zwischen dem äußeren Rand der Rundstrahlluftdüse 16 und dem Kranz der Luftbohrungen 18 sind zwei Kegelstumpfflächen vorgesehen und zwar innenseitig eine flache Kegelstumpffläche 20 und eine daran sich anschließende steile Kegelstumpffläche 21. Die Neigung der Kegelstumpffläche 20 zur Horizontalen beträgt etwa 30°.The omnidirectional air nozzle 16 is surrounded by a ring of air holes 18. These air holes open in the annular space 13. These air holes 18 are arranged in a converging incline in the direction of the beam axis 19. In the illustrated embodiment, the inclination is 10 °. The outlet openings of the air bores 18 are arranged recessed with respect to the outlet surface of the omnidirectional air nozzle 16. Between the outer edge of the omnidirectional air nozzle 16 and the rim of the air bores 18, two truncated cone surfaces are provided, specifically a flat truncated cone surface 20 on the inside and a steep truncated cone surface 21 adjoining it.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind insgesamt 17 Luftbohrungen 18 vorgesehen, die jeweils einen Durchmesser von 0,5 mm aufweisen. Die Wandstärke des Zäpfchens 8 beträgt weniger als 0,5 mm, sein Überstand über die Austrittsfläche der Rundstrahlluftdüse 16 beträgt bevorzugt 0,3 mm. Die Rundstrahlluftdüse 16 weist an ihrer engsten Stelle eine Fläche von etwa 5,5 mm² auf. Sie ist somit etwa um das 1,6fache größer als die Gesamtquerschnittsfläche der Luftbohrungen 18. Die Gesamtquerschnittsfläche der drei Luftversorgungsbohrungen 14 ist etwa gleich groß wie die Gesamtquerschnittsfläche der Luftbohrungen 18 zuzüglich der Querschnittsfläche der Rundstrahlluftdüse 16. Die Gesamtquerschnittsfläche der beiden Hornstrahlluftdüsen 10 ist etwa gleichgroß wie die Gesamtquerschnittsfläche von Rundstrahlluftdüse 16 und den Luftbohrungen 18.In the illustrated embodiment, a total of 17 air holes 18 are provided, each of which has a diameter of 0.5 mm. The wall thickness of the suppository 8 is less than 0.5 mm, its projection over the exit surface of the omnidirectional air nozzle 16 is preferably 0.3 mm. The omnidirectional air nozzle 16 has an area of approximately 5.5 mm 2 at its narrowest point. It is thus approximately 1.6 times larger than the total cross-sectional area of the air bores 18. The total cross-sectional area of the three air supply bores 14 is approximately the same size as the total cross-sectional area of the air bores 18 plus the cross-sectional area of the omnidirectional air nozzle 16. The total cross-sectional area of the two horn jet air nozzles 10 is approximately the same size as the total cross-sectional area of omnidirectional air nozzle 16 and the air holes 18.

Wie der Figur 1 entnehmbar ist, tritt ein kegelförmiges Zerstäubungsgebiet der aus der Farbdüse 6 austretenden Farbe auf. Durch die Senkung 17 wird erreicht, daß der Rundstrahl 23 sich bereits vor dem Zerstäubungsgebiet 22 der Farbe auffächert und somit einen von innen nach außen stark abfallenden Geschwindigkeitsgradienten aufweist. Auf die Außenfläche des Rundstrahls 23 trifft dann der von den Luftbohrungen 18 erzeugte Ringluftschirm 24 auf, der eine zur Außenfläche des Rundstrahls 23 noch geringere Geschwindigkeit aufweist. Das Einströmen von Umgebungsluft in den Bereich des Rundstrahles 23 wird hierdurch mit Sicherheit vermieden. Die geringe Wandstärke des Zäpfchens 8 und sein Überstand über die Austrittsfläche der Rundstrahlluftdüse 16 bewirken, daß eine Nebelbildung weitgehend vermieden wird. Der Geschwindigkeitsverlauf innerhalb des Rundstrahls und des Ringluftschirms von innen nach außen gesehen verhindert, daß Farbtröpfchen vom Zerstäubungsgebiet nach außen gelangen.As can be seen in FIG. 1, a conical atomization area of the paint emerging from the paint nozzle 6 occurs. The depression 17 ensures that the round jet 23 fuses out in front of the atomization area 22 of the paint and thus has a speed gradient which drops sharply from the inside to the outside. The annular air screen 24 generated by the air bores 18 then strikes the outer surface of the round jet 23 and has an even lower speed to the outer surface of the round jet 23. The inflow of ambient air into the area of the omnidirectional jet 23 is thereby avoided with certainty. The small wall thickness of the suppository 8 and its projection over the exit surface of the omnidirectional air nozzle 16 have the effect that fog formation is largely avoided. The speed curve within the round jet and the ring air screen, seen from the inside out, prevents paint droplets from getting out of the atomization area.
