Definitions

  • the invention relates to a new spraying spraying system capable of distributing fluids both in the form of a sprayed liquid jet and in the form of an aerosol spray with uniform pressure and in releasing the operator from manual maintenance. pressure, allowing it to move around and away from the pressurization system.
  • a compressed air sprayer which consists of a pressurized liquid reservoir with manual pumping, connected to a lance held manually with a metal tube connected to the handle of the lance and a manually operated valve mechanism in the vicinity of the handle.
  • This dispensing nozzle was mounted at the end of a tube 1 cm in outside diameter about 30 cm from the handle.
  • the metal tube was filled with liquid and pressurized air, and since the nozzle orifice was smaller than the connection tube, excess fluid in the pressure tube could leak through the tip of the nozzle. the lance after the closing valve, near the handle, has been closed. This resulted in environmental problems and a loss of the valuable product to be sprayed.
  • US Pat. No. 4,865,255 discloses a mobile device allowing the administration of pesticides or fertilizers in the form of a wet spray, and comprising a manually portable sprayer, a system making it possible to stop spraying and arranged on the manual sprayer, a system allowing the delivery under pressure of the liquid and comprising a vertical carriage mounted on wheels and a removable liquid reservoir.
  • the subject of the invention is a new spraying system for dispensing at least two liquid compositions, one in the form of a wet spray and the other in the form of an aerosol spray, characterized in that it comprises at least two liquid supply tanks, means for pressurizing said tanks, individual capillary tubes connecting said tanks and a source of compressed air to a dispensing lance, said lance comprising a massive handle with interior conduits and means for connection of one end with one of the capillary tubes, each conduit being provided with suitable means for controlling the flow of fluid passing through it, a tube attached to the opposite end of the handle with tubes inner capillaries connected at one end to the liquid conduits which pass therethrough and connected at the opposite end to a nozzle head attached to the opposite end of the tube, provided with means forming a nozzle for dispensing a liquid i in the form of a wet spray and jet means for distributing a liquid in the form of an aerosol jet, with the compressed air which flows through it and mixes with the liquid to form the aerosol jet and the compressed
  • aerosol applications were carried out using pre-packaged sealed aerosols or mechanical aerosol generators.
  • the pre-packaged aerosols allowed the injection of pesticides into cracks and crevices, into wall holes, etc., using a plastic torch allowing precise placement.
  • Mechanical aerosol generators are used for the spatial treatment of premises, warehouses, etc., for flying insects and crawling insects, according to the principle of the shotgun type, but they were not effective against insects deeply buried, because they were unable to penetrate to the bottom of dead holes in deep refugia, or to penetrate small cracks and crevices.
  • This system allows the operator to have at his disposal, on a single lance, both the wet spray jet of a compressed air sprayer and the action of skidding the aerosol pre -packaged, both arranged for pinhead precision of the application as demanded by today's professionals, thus minimizing over-spraying and sub-spraying, off-target spraying, passages as well as stains while reducing environmental pollution.
  • the system of the invention as a whole frees the operator the need for manual pumping of the sprayer using regulated compressed air to maintain the desired pressure constant in a residual pesticide tank with means for agitating liquids, wettable powder, etc. which remain on the machine during operation and also, preferably, includes a triple tube of 15.24 m (50 feet), light, with color coding and an explosion pressure of 2758 kN / m2 (400 psi) with triangle profile and jacketed externally with a transparent polyurethane sheath to reduce abrasion.
  • Said hose gives the operator the possibility of moving within a radius of 15 meters or a diameter of 30 meters around the machine with only one lance in one hand and eliminates the recovery and installation of two separate tools. This greatly reduces the possibility of crawling insects escaping after they have left their deep refuge after the watering agent has been applied.
  • the operator can operate both the hydraulic fan spray nozzle and the air-atomized aerosol simultaneously, the aerosol entering the voids first and leaving the wet jet in, on and around the insect entry / exit area.
  • the need for costly and environmentally damaging propellants and solvents is eliminated.
  • a pressure regulator 1 is provided for the aerosol fluid reservoir, a pressure regulator 2 for the residual liquid sprayer, a pressure gauge 3 for free-flowing air, connected by a flexible tube 4 to the handle of the sprayer.
  • An optional accessory is an air pressure gauge 5 connected to an air handle 6 and a filter 7.
  • the supply duct is connected to a compressor to supply pressurized air to the two liquid tanks and to the lance.
  • the lance portion of the system preferably consists of a round valve body 8, knurled, machined, held in the hand, drilled in length with three deep drilled holes, each provided with its inlet port of tubular threads females 9, two of the holes open in the lower half of the valve chamber about 3/4 of the length of the valve body (these eject liquid insecticides) and the third hole goes through the entire length of the valve body. machined valve. This hole expels air only under pressure which circulates freely through the entire length of the lance and is released into the atmosphere at the end of the atomizing air jet.
  • the two valve holes are drilled and threaded vertically from the underside of the valve body, and are placed side by side and facilitate a thumb operated spring loaded open / close valve assembly 10.
  • This arrangement is preferred, from a perspective of practical application because the thumb is the most powerful organ of the hand, which therefore results in less operator fatigue and the possibility of simultaneously actuating the two valves.
  • the valve assembly is equipped with a valve blocking mechanism, for reasons of safety, when the appliance is not in use.
  • the two liquids are routed through longitudinal holes to the anterior end of the valve body 8 where they connect to threaded ends and terminate.
  • the front end of the valve body is provided with a female thread and socket to allow pipe barbs to be screwed into the two holes of the liquid conduits, where they terminate and do not extend beyond from the female threaded end of the valve body.
  • an adapter with male thread 11, conical and hollow with an overall length of about 3.8 cm with a maximum outside diameter equal to that of valve body and provided with two flat surfaces on its outside diameter, for tightening.
  • the conical shape makes it possible to reduce the diameter and to attach, via a male thread, to a hollow tube 12 with an overall length of 45.7 cm and an outside diameter of 0.95 cm, provided with a nut female coupling 13 with flanges and a fitting system with welded hardware at each end of the 0.95 cm tube.
  • the hollow tube of 0.95 cm To the barbs of the pipes, on the most anterior end of the valve body and passing internally over its entire length the hollow tube of 0.95 cm are attached two flexible tubes 14 of about 0.32 cm outside diameter, of which l 'one has a value of 90 on the durometer, to resist crushing. This is preferable due to the action of free flowing pressurized air and its tendency to crush the hydraulic line, which necessarily causes a leak at the end of the nozzle since there is no closure. to the nozzle, while the other, of value 60 to the durometer, supplies the atomization nozzle to the air. Note the air back pressure caused by the constriction at the fluid cap to keep the liquid under control in line 60 at the durometer.
  • the pressurized air passes freely through the inside of the 0.95 cm tube 12 and over and around the flexible tube 14 to supply only the air atomizing nozzle 21.
  • the fluid cap then purges at 'atmosphere.
  • a nozzle body adapter 15 with male thread, with a total length of approximately 3.8 cm with a longitudinal taper ranging from approximately 1.27 cm on the side of the extension up to 3.8 cm from the nozzle side.
  • the sidewalls are machined to eliminate excess weight and to make the profile as small as possible.
  • two holes which are inclined at opposite angles adjusted to cut to about half the length of the adapter of the nozzle body 15 and are connected to a hole of internal diameter larger which in turn cuts the extension of 0.95 cm in diameter. This allows the two flexible tubes to pass through and separate them to supply each nozzle respectively.
  • the two nozzle holes 16 and 17 are arranged vertically back to back, with the nozzle assembly 16 with hydraulic fan to be placed on top and continuing at the angle determined by the hole with female thread.
  • This arrangement is preferable from the point of view of practical application, because this generally requires less precise application, and if the two nozzles are actuated immediately, the wet jet is sprayed just after the atomized aerosol at the air, which is propelled by pressurized air and constantly escaping to the atmosphere to allow the aerosol release action to first manifest itself by penetrating deep into the refuges and not do not chase the wet jet out of a crack or crevice after its application, so that it can come into direct contact with the insects coming out and / or remain in place to constitute a residual barrier against entry insect future.
  • the air atomization nozzle assembly 17 is placed on the bottom, directly under the nozzle hydraulic and continuing at the same angle as its hole. This is preferable, from a practical point of view, because the tendency is to place the atomizing point with air in a crack or a crevice and to draw the lance in the direction of the operator, allowing the aiming and the placement of the nozzle from the side by slightly tilting the lance to one side or the other.
  • the hydraulic nozzle assembly consists of four parts, namely a male thread pipe beard 18 on one end to be connected to the flexible capillary liquid line via the beard and to be connected to the female thread with internal thread of the body of hollow nozzle 19, a male threaded seat on the hollow nozzle body 19 externally machined, which screws into the upper hole of the nozzle adapter body, an O-ring stuffing 19a placed in a socket machined with the nozzle body which allows for a tight seal when the quick-release portion including the nozzle itself is pushed inside and rotated 90 ° to lock in place.
  • the sprinkler body can accept a variety of sprinklers of various designs such as hairpin jets or flat jet blowers of varying shapes and flow rates.
  • the flat jet models have an elliptical shape so that the density of the jet is constant at the edges as in the center.
  • the quick-disassembly nozzle facilitates changing the head as well as cleaning the nozzle, if it blocks, without using tools or releasing the pressure from the chemical tank.
  • the air spray nozzle assembly consists of an outlet pipe tail with a pipe beard 20 at one end and a face seal cup 20 machined and shouldered to accept a rubber O-ring 21,
  • the outlet pipe tail 20 has an outer diameter machined with recessed shoulders allowing the tail to extend into the nozzle body adapter 15 so as to allow the pipe beard portion to connect to the capillary tube flexible while the sealing face of the seal cup rests on a machined shoulder in the nozzle body adapter deep enough for the O-ring to be pressed into place to form a liquid / air seal while allowing air going around the outside of the entire pipe tail.
  • the O-ring is attached to and around the outside diameter of the rear rod area of the fluid cap which has a taper with holes which are arranged in a circular pattern around the collar to allow free flowing air to pass cross them.
  • the hollow center of the fluid cap likewise has an identical internal taper up to a specified dimension to allow control of the fluid flow.
  • the fluid cap interfaces with the air cap 22 which has a hollow interior and an outside diameter slightly larger than the collar on the fluid cap, allowing the collar to fit flush and just interior of the air cap thus coming to bear on a shoulder machined therein. This allows pressurized air to pass through the collar of the fluid cap and into the flange on the air cap.
  • the air cap is held in place by a hex nut 23 machined at one end to allow the extended hollow tube of the air cap to pass through while the other end has an external male thread that connects to the female thread on the '' nozzle body adapter, tightening the hex nut together compresses the air cap, fluid cap and o-ring to form an air / liquid seal.
  • the pressurized air is then forced into a conical chamber and, by controlling the valves, it encounters the flow of liquid which is broken up into fine droplets by the force of the pressurized air, which creates aerosol particles.
  • the aerosol particles are then entrained out of the air cap via the air stream flowing freely in the insect shelter. If desired, the operator can release the coolant valve and allow the free flowing air to continue creating a pressure in the cavity without dispensing additional spraying agent. This saves pesticide and reduces pollution of the environment since air is the propellant.
  • the system has the advantage that the two products can be dispensed from a single lance without mutual contamination of the products and ensures constant pressure both on the aerosol side and on the side of the residual liquid in the system, regulating the air, not the fluid, which greatly extends the life expectancy of the regulators.
  • the nozzle means for distributing the liquid spray jet are arranged above the aerosol jet nozzle.
  • the three capillary tubes connecting the lance to the reservoirs and to the compressor have a color code and are housed in a plastic sheath. Color codes help avoid errors when making connections.
  • An elliptical profile of the flat jet heads applies the strip in a regular pattern to the edges as well as to the center, which reduces runoff, stains and product loss. Quick change heads allow cleaning and head change without reducing pressure.
  • the liquid tanks and the compressor and the piping are all mounted on a two-wheeled cart, so that the operator can roll the entire system to a work area and if there is a length of 15 meters between the three tubes connecting the lance and the various tanks on the carriage, the operator is free to move all around in a large area, so as not to have to stop to move his device when he moves himself. It is also possible to adapt the lance to add an additional pipe to dispense a jet of liquid or powder in addition if desired.
  • the switch means are adapted such that either one or both liquids can be applied together or both cut off.
  • the nozzle means are rapid disassembly nozzles so that they can be easily and quickly replaced if necessary or removed for cleaning.
  • the handle of the lance is also preferably made of metal to prevent it from cracking or breaking if it falls. In addition, the metal must be resistant to liquids passing through it.
  • the handle is a round body, made of aluminum and knurled. The use of plastic should be avoided, because plastic often swells or breaks down under the action of the liquids used.
  • the invention also relates to a lance for dispensing a liquid in the form of a wet spray jet and a second liquid in the form of an aerosol jet, as defined above.
