Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for the strip-shaped application of viscous material, which is deposited in the form of a thread-like strand or strand section on the surface of a workpiece, according to the preamble of claim 1 and claim 5, respectively.
- a viscous material is understood to mean that which, under operating conditions, is not finely atomized by the compressed gas, but rather retains the strand shape at least in sections when it is applied.
- they are materials that have a viscosity of more than 100 cSt. Typical examples of this are the application of strips of adhesive or sealing material.
- the material can be heated or provided with a solvent additive.
- a corresponding configuration of the material nozzle and gas supply system ensures that the thread-like Material strand is given a swirl movement, so that it is placed on the surface in a plurality of adjacent arcs.
- the air used as gas is fed through an approximately axially parallel bore to a distributor ring space, from which the gas outlet channel leads directly.
- the swirl movement can be achieved in various ways, for example by the fact that the bore serving for the supply of gas or the supply of material is inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis or that the material nozzle and the outlet channel for the gas are arranged asymmetrically to one another.
- the strand is deposited in arcs of the same diameter.
- the edges of the strip have a greater height than the central region. If the strip is brought into contact with a second surface, the contact surface is limited to the edge regions of the strip, which is undesirable both for gluing and for sealing.
- the amount of material that can be applied per unit of time is very limited. This is particularly noticeable with larger strip thicknesses, such as are required for a seal. If you increase the application quantity above the specified limit value, the streak area is contaminated by material particles.
- a spray head for the automatic application and distribution of liquids in which the compressed air is supplied via several axial grooves.
- the liquid nozzle is surrounded by a cylindrical jacket.
- the invention has for its object to improve the strip application, in particular with regard to the strip cross section and / or the application speed.
- this object is achieved in that a tangential flow component is suppressed, the compressed gas being subdivided into a plurality of partial flows according to an annular distribution, each of which is directed separately and is only brought together again shortly before the application.
- the compressed gas is aligned before it hits the strand so that the tangential flow component responsible for the swirl essentially disappears.
- the partial streams which are directed individually, maintain their direction until they are applied.
- the thread-like strand is therefore no longer loaded by centrifugal forces and is constantly placed in circular arcs of the same size, but rather the deflection from the central position occurs due to the instabilities in the compressed gas that are always present. Circular movements can also occur here.
- the circle diameter is not always the same as the strip width, there is a material overlay, which ultimately leads to a strip with a uniform thickness. The entire strip surface is therefore available as a contact surface for the respective application.
- the thread-like strand was constricted both by the compressed air acting on it and by the twisting of the strand around its own axis. If one increased the material supply and necessarily also the gas supply, this resulted in a drill dilution so strong that the strand broke off. The torn off strand parts were thrown outwards by the centrifugal force, where they interfered as impurities. According to the invention, however, material pressure and gas pressure can be increased significantly. On the one hand, the limit at which strand sections tear off is much higher due to the lack of swirl. On the other hand, it is harmless if strand sections tear off, because they are not thrown outwards due to the lack of centrifugal force, but remain in the strip area. The application speed can therefore be increased significantly without fear of pollution of the surroundings. The method is therefore particularly suitable for the application of thick strips, but also for the faster application of thin strips.
- the gas-encased strand is expediently constricted shortly after being loaded.
- the compressed air spreads out behind the constriction as a cone. It forms a shell that prevents individual sections of the strand from being flung away.
- the constriction itself is the hinge point around which the strand performs its initial wobble or twist.
- the compressed gas can be supplied with a pulsating pressure. This can be used to influence the distribution of the material in the strip.
- the solution according to the invention is that between the distributor annular space and the radially outer end of the outlet channel, guide channels which are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction are arranged, which give the partial gas streams passing through a direction free of tangential components, and that the outlet channel leads to a central point of action , which is located between the material nozzle and a slightly larger diameter than this outlet nozzle.
- the guide channels can run parallel to the material nozzle axis. This results in a very handy construction, because the distance between the material nozzle axis and guide channels can be kept small.
- a material tube carrying the material nozzle is enclosed by an outer tube and that the guide channels are designed as axial grooves on the cylindrical separating surface of the two tubes. It is only necessary to mill the axial grooves in one tube and to cover them with the other tube.
- the distributor annulus is formed by a peripheral recess on the cylindrical separating surface of the two pipes.
- the axial grooves are provided on the material tube and the peripheral recess on the outer tube.
- the length of the guide channels should be at least 3 times the diameter on which they are arranged. This leads to a sufficient alignment of the partial gas flows.
- At least one gas connection is particularly advantageous for at least one gas connection to connect laterally and in particular radially to the distributor annulus.
- the distributor annulus serves to calm the radially supplied compressed gas. Any tangential component is suppressed by the subsequent guide channels.
- annular cross section of the outlet channel is approximately constant over its length. The gas then maintains its flow rate.
- the outlet channel opens out particularly advantageously between the material nozzle and an outlet nozzle which has a larger cross section than the material nozzle.
- This outlet nozzle serves to constrict the gas-coated strand and gives the advantages mentioned above.
- the 1 to 3 has a material tube 1 with a material channel 2, which connects a material connection 3 with a material nozzle 4.
- the outer circumference of the material tube 1 has six axial grooves 5 arranged at the same circumferential spacing, which are covered by the inner circumference of a pushed-on outer tube 6 and therefore form guide channels 7 running parallel to the material nozzle axis.
- a circumferential recess 8 is provided, which is provided with a radial compressed gas connection 9, via which compressed air is supplied, and is covered by the outside of the material tube 1 and therefore forms an annular distributor space 10.
- the two tubes 1 and 6 are fastened to a connecting body 13 via threads 11 and 12, respectively.
- a cap 14 is screwed onto the outer tube 6 by means of a thread 15. It has an outlet nozzle 16 which has a slightly larger diameter than the material nozzle 4. Between the cap 14 and the material tube 1 there is an outlet channel 17 for the compressed air. This outlet channel is delimited by two conical walls 18 and 19, one of which is formed on the end face of the material tube 1 and the other on the back of the cap 14.
- viscous material is supplied via the material connection 3 and the material channel 2. It emerges as a thread-like strand from the material nozzle 4.
- Compressed air is supplied via the compressed air connection 9, the distributor annulus 10 and the guide channels 7 parallel to the material nozzle axis 4.
- Partial flows of compressed air are ultimately aligned axially parallel in these guide channels. They are deflected radially inward in the outlet channel 17 and strike the periphery of the thread-like strand at an application point 20, the direction of application being practically free of a tangential flow component, based on the axis of the material nozzle 4. Insofar as the subdivision into partial flows in the circumferential direction causes certain irregularities in the loading, these are harmless because they load the line symmetrically.
- the strand and the compressed gas enveloping it occur through the outlet nozzle 16.
- the strand is constricted and thinned by the application and the narrowing. Outside the outlet nozzle 16, the compressed gas expands as a guide cone. As a result of the instabilities that are always present, the strand wobbles and circles within the guide cone until it hits the surface (not shown).
- the air pressure may even be chosen so high that the strand tears into sections because these remain within the guide cone of the compressed air.
- a large range of material pressures for example from 2 to 60 bar, and a large range of gas pressures, for example from 0.2 to 5 bar, can therefore be used. It is recommended to keep the gas pressure lower than the material pressure.
- Fig. 4 shows the conditions for gas supply with a tangential component.
- the material is deposited in the form of a narrow ring 21, which corresponds to the distribution 22.
- the ring-shaped deposit is superimposed, which corresponds to a strip cross section 23. If one were to ensure that circular patterns 24 were deposited in accordance with the uniform distribution 25, the strip cross-section 26 would result.
- the desired job lies between the two extremes.
- the order pattern 27 has, for example, the distribution 28, according to which there is a slight order in the middle and a stronger order further out. In the optimal case, this leads to the uniform strip cross section 29 of FIG. 5 due to the integration effect of the movement component P. In any case, the shape of the cross section lies between the shapes of the extreme cross sections 23 and 26.
- the outlet nozzle can be adjusted axially relative to the material nozzle 4. This changes the angle of the guide cone.
- the application form is ensured over a larger area of the distance between the application device 1 and the surface to be coated. You can therefore choose the distance in any case so that contamination of the cap 14 is avoided by rebounding material.
- the gas connection 9 can be arranged in the connection body 13.
- the gas can also be supplied in a heated state.
