  • the pressurized-air system is adapted, when required, to feed solvent by means of pressurized air through a nozzle for manual cleaning, automatic as well as manual cleaning may be carried out with the one and same device.
  • the cleaning device 1 illustrated in the figures is adapted for cleaning hand operated spray guns 2 or 3, preferably spray guns for painting vehicles in repair shops. Accessories to spray guns 2 or 3 and eventually other painting equipment such as brushes, tins, screens, gauge rods, etc., may also be cleaned in the cleaning device 1.
  • the cleaning device 1 comprises a frame 4 with a base 5 and a lower space 6 for a tank 7 for clean solvent. A collecting space 8 is provided above the lower space 6 and above said collecting space a cleaning space 9 adapted for carrying out an automatic process for cleaning the spray gun 2 or 3.
  • the cleaning space 9 is sealable by means of a door 10 which is situated in a half-open hood 11 wherein manual cleaning of the spray gun 2 or 3 may occur and which is connected to a pipe 12 in a ventilating device 77 (see fig. 10) for extraction of injurious gases from the hood 11.
  • the cleaning device 1 For cleaning the spray gun 2 or 3 in the cleaning space, the cleaning device 1 includes a pressurized-air system 13 and a solvent system 14 (see fig. 4).
  • the pressurized-air system 13 is through a pressurized-air conduit 15 connectable to a pressurized-air outlet (not shown) and in said conduit 15 there is provided a main valve 16 which opens when the cleaning device is set in operating condition.
  • the pressurized-air system 13 includes a pressurized-air conduit 15a through which pressurized air 17 flows to a regulator 18. From said regulator 18, pressurized air 17 flows through a pressurized-air conduit 19 and a branch conduit 19a to a first time valve 20 and through a branch conduit 19b to a second time valve 21. From the first time valve 20, the pressurized air may flow through a pressurized-air conduit 22 to branch conduits 22a and therefrom to ejectors 23 for recycled solvent (see fig. 6).
  • pressurized air may flow through the pressurized-air conduit 25 to a block valve 26 and if this valve is open, through a pressurized-air conduit 27 to branch conduits 27a and therefrom to ejectors 24 for clean solvent.

  • a valve 31a which is closed at rest but openable by means of a foot pedal 31b.
  • pressurized air can flow through a branch conduit 29a to a pressure chamber 21a in the time valve 21.
  • a check valve 30 see fig. 7 which lets through pressurized air to the time valve 20 via apertures 31 in a membrane-like valve body 32 when said valve body moves from its seat 33.
  • a return spring 34 closes the check valve 30 such that the pressure chamber 20a in the time valve 20 can not communicate with the pressure chamber 21a in the time valve 21.
  • a pressurized-air conduit 38 to the block valve 26 (see fig. 8) is put under pressure, the valve body 39 and spring 40 of said valve 26 being designed such that the valve body 39 engages a seat 41 and keeps the block valve 26 closed when the pressures in the conduits 38 and 25 are equal.
  • the block valve 26 prevents pressurized air from flowing from the pressurized-air conduit 25 to the pressurized-air conduit 27.
  • valve body 39 and spring 40 are also designed such that pressurized air in the conduit 25 is able to open the block valve 26 when the pressure in the conduit 38 ceases.
  • this block valve 26 it is obtained that as long as the supply of pressurized air through the time valve 20 to the ejectors 23 for contaminated (used) solvent is open, the supply of pressurized air through the time valve 21 to the ejectors 24 for clean solvent is closed.
  • the pressure chambers 20a, 21a in the time valves 20, 21 include capillary tubes 42 through which pressurized air slowly may leak out into the surroundings for obtaining atmospheric pressure in each pressure chamber 20a, 21a and thereby enable closing of the seat valve 36 by means of a return spring in cooperation with the pressure reduction across said seat valve.
  • the capillary tubes 42 of the time valves 20, 21 are differently dimensioned such that the time valve 20 is open preferably for a shorter time (e.g. about 2 minutes) than the time valve 21 (which is open e.g. about 3 minutes).
  • the opening time of the seat valve 36 is dependent on the length and/or through-flow area of the capillary tube 42, and this time can be determined by providing a capillary tube 42 of a certain length and/or through-flow area and changed by replacing this tube by another capillary tube 42 of different length and/or through-flow area.
  • the control device 28 further includes a manometer 43, which through a conduit 44 is connected with the pressurized-air conduit 25 of the pressurized-air system 13.
  • This manometer 43 is adapted to indicate when the cleaning automatism is in operation and it permits control of the air pressure in the pressurized-air system.
  • the supply of pressurized air to the pressurized-air system 13 should be such that the manometer 43 shows a pressure of 5-6 bars.
  • a relief valve 45 which is controlled by a magnetic body 46 located in the door 10.
  • the relief valve 45 operates such that the magnetic body 46 draws a valve ball (not shown) from its seat when the door 10 is closed, which means that the relief valve 45 is kept open when the door 10 is closed.
  • the magnetic body 46 is moved such that it can not retain the valve ball, but said valve is by the pressurized air brought into engagement with its seat, whereby the relief valve 45 is closed.
