Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Vorhangbeschichten eines bewegten Trägers mit mindestens einer Schicht einer flüssigen Beschichtungszusammensetzung umfassend Transportmittel, die den Träger in einer Bewegungsrichtung durch eine Beschichtungszone transportieren, wobei der Träger auf der Beschichtungsseite eine Luftschicht mitführt, eine Zufuhrvorrichtung, die aus flüssiger Beschichtungszusammensetzung einen fallenden Vorhang erzeugt, der auf den Träger fällt und diesen entlang einer Kontaktlinie benetzt, eine Abschirmvorrichtung, die mitgeführte Luft vom Vorhang abschirmt. Das Vorhangbeschichtungsverfahren wird beispielsweise bei der Herstellung fotografischer Filme verwendet.The invention relates to a device for curtain coating a moving Carrier with at least one layer of a liquid coating composition comprising means of transport that move the carrier in one direction transport through a coating zone with the carrier on the coating side carries a layer of air, a feeder made of liquid coating composition creates a falling curtain on the support falls and wets it along a contact line, a shielding device that shields entrained air from the curtain. The curtain coating process is used for example in the production of photographic films.
Es ist bekannt, daß beim Vorhangbeschichten die vom Träger mitgeführte Luftschicht die Verfahrensgeschwindigkeit und die Beschichtungsqualität begrenzt. Aus dem Stand der Technik sind verschiedene Verfahren und Vorrichtungen bekannt, die den Einfluß dieser mitgeführten Luftschicht zu vermindern versuchen.It is known that the air layer carried by the carrier during curtain coating the process speed and the coating quality are limited. Out Various methods and devices are known from the prior art which try to reduce the influence of this entrained air layer.
Passiv wirkende Rakel sind beispielsweise aus EP 0 440 279, US 3 867 901, US 3 632 374, Research Disclosure N 189, 1980, DE 12 69 546 bekannt. Aktiv wirkende Abschirmvorrichtungen sind beispielsweise in EP 0 489 978 und EP 0 704 752 offenbart.Passive doctor blades are known, for example, from EP 0 440 279, US 3 867 901, US 3,632,374, Research Disclosure N 189, 1980, DE 12 69 546. active acting shielding devices are for example in EP 0 489 978 and EP 0 704 752.
Bei hohen Beschichtungsgeschwindigkeiten können aber diese bekannten Beschichtungsvorrichtungen die mitbewegte Luftgrenzschicht nicht hinreichend vom Flüssigkeitsvorhang trennen. Es kommt zum sogenannten Air-Entrainment, was zur Qualitätsminderung bzw. zu Ausbeuteverlusten führt.At high coating speeds, however, these known coating devices can the moving air boundary layer is not sufficient from the liquid curtain separate. So-called air entrainment occurs, which leads to a reduction in quality or leads to loss of yield.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung eine verbesserte Vorrichtung zum Vorhangbeschichten anzugeben, die bei hohen Gießgeschwindigkeiten den Einfluß der vom Träger mitgeführten Luftgrenzschicht stark vermindert und eine gleichmäßige Beschichtung ermöglicht.The object of the invention is an improved device for curtain coating specify the influence of those carried by the carrier at high casting speeds Air boundary layer greatly reduced and a uniform coating enables.
Zur Lösung dieses Problems ist die Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs
1 durch dessen kennzeichnende Merkmale weitergebildet.To solve this problem is the device according to the preamble of the
Gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Abschirmvorrichtung 1 zwei Luftaustauschflächen
a, b aufweist, die jeweils in einem Abstand 2, 3 zum Träger D bzw.
zum Vorhang E beabstandet und nahe der Kontaktlinie F angeordnet sind.According to the invention it is provided that the
Es ist bevorzugt, die Abschirmvorrichtung 1 durch zwei Kammern A, B auszubilden
und jede Kammer mit einer Luftfördereinrichtung PA, PB zu verbinden.It is preferred to form the
Der Volumenstrom durch jede Luftaustauschfläche kann dann getrennt vorgegeben werden.The volume flow through each air exchange surface can then be specified separately become.
Indem die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung auf die Luftströmung sowohl im Spalt zur Unterlage hin als auch zum Vorhang hin wirkt, läßt sich die Kontaktlinienposition und der Kontaktwinkel beeinflussen. Mit anderen Worten, bei geeigneter Wahl geometrischer Daten lassen sich über eine individuelle und voneinander abhängige Steuerung der Volumenströme über die beiden Luftaustauschflächen a und b sowohl Druckdifferenz Po-P, die Position der Linie F und auch der Kontaktwinkel beeinflussen. (P kennzeichnet dabei den Luftdruck unmittelbar in der Nähe der Kontaktlinie F, Po den Luftdruck in der Umgebung.) Erfindungsgemäß wird also die Kontaktlinie mittels einer steuerbaren Quellen- und Senkenverteilung aktiv beeinflußt. Diese Beeinflussung geschieht bei laminarer und somit strömungsarmer Strömung. Das Air-Entrainment mit der Luftschicht, die der Träger D aufgrund der Geschwindigkeit u mitführt, wird verhindert. By the device according to the invention to the air flow both in the gap The contact line position can act on the base as well as towards the curtain and affect the contact angle. In other words, with a suitable choice of geometrical Data can be created using an individual and interdependent Control of the volume flows via the two air exchange surfaces a and b both Pressure difference Po-P, influence the position of the line F and also the contact angle. (P denotes the air pressure in the immediate vicinity of the contact line F, Po the air pressure in the environment.) According to the invention, the Contact line actively influenced by means of a controllable source and sink distribution. This influence occurs with laminar and therefore low flow Flow. The air entrainment with the air layer that the carrier D due to the Carrying speed u is prevented.
Die Volumenströme durch die Luftaustauschflächen können bevorzugt, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, durch seitlich an Stirnflächen angebrachte Pumpen PA und PB bewirkt werden.The volume flows through the air exchange surfaces can be preferred, as in FIG. 2 shown, caused by pumps PA and PB attached to the side of the end faces become.
In einer anderen bevorzugten Ausführungsform werden, wie in Fig. 3 schematisch dargestellt, die Pumpen PA und PB an der Mantelfläche der quaderförmigen Abschrimvorrichtung angebracht.In another preferred embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3 schematically shown, the pumps PA and PB on the outer surface of the cuboid cutting device appropriate.
Mit Vorteil weist die Abschirmvorrichtung zwei getrennte Kammern in einem kastenförmigen Gehäuse auf.The shielding device advantageously has two separate chambers in one box-shaped housing.
Es ist von besonderem Vorteil wenn die Abschirmvorrichtung sowohl hinsichtlich der Lage des Kastenmittelpunktes relativ zur Lage der Kontaktlinie F als auch hinsichtlich des Winkels zwischen b und D bzw. a und E variabel ist.It is particularly advantageous if the shielding device is both in terms of the position of the center of the box relative to the position of the contact line F as well the angle between b and D or a and E is variable.
Es ist vorteilhaft die Abschirmvorrichtung um die Achse X verstellbar auszuführen.
Dadurch kann der Winkel zur Beschichtungsseite des Trägers einstellbar vorgegeben
werden. Der Abstand der Vorrichtung zum Vorhang bzw. zum Träger ist mit Vorteil
verstellbar.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorhangbeschichtungsvorrichtung ist in Fig. 4 schematisch dargestellt. Die Abschirmvorrichtung ist stromaufwärts vor dem Auftreffen des Vorhangs E auf dem Träger D angeordnet. The curtain coating device according to the invention is schematic in FIG. 4 shown. The shielding device is upstream of the curtain E arranged on the carrier D.
In Fig. 1 ist die Abschirmvorrichtung vergrößert in einer schematischen Schnittdarstellung
gezeigt. Die Vorrichtung 1 besteht aus zwei Kammern A und B die durch
eine luftundurchlässige Trennwand C getrennt sind. Jede Kammer ist mit einer Luftfördereinrichtung
verbunden (Fig. 2 und Fig. 3).In Fig. 1, the shielding device is enlarged in a schematic sectional view
shown. The
Die Kontaktlinie F wird durch den Volumenstrom der Luft, der jeweils durch die Luftaustauschfläche a bzw. b hindurchtritt, erfindungsgemäß beeinflußt.The contact line F is determined by the volume flow of the air, which in each case by the Air exchange surface a or b passes through, influenced according to the invention.
Die Vorrichtung 1 ist zum Vorhang E im Abstand 2 und zum Träger D im Abstand 3
angeordnet. Beide Abstände sind einstellbar.The
