Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spray coating device according to the Preamble of claim 1.
  • a spray coating of this type is known from EP 0 160 179 B1.
  • a An operator can use a keyboard to set a desired voltage value and enter a desired current value, which of a Control device should be kept constant. It is for the distance between the spray device and the object to be coated Threshold provided. If the distance is greater than the threshold is, then the high voltage at the high voltage electrode Spray device kept constant regardless of the object distance, the Spray current of the high voltage electrode with increasing object distance becomes smaller or larger as the object distance becomes smaller. If the Distance is less than the threshold, then the spray current kept constant regardless of distance changes by one Current rise through a corresponding voltage reduction is counteracted. Immediately before the object the spray device touched, the high voltage breaks down completely (contact protection).
  • the Spray current from the electrode to the object to be coated becomes indirect measured by measuring the electrical current which is generated by a Primary winding of a transformer flows, on the secondary winding one High-voltage cascade connection with rectifiers and capacitors is connected, which is the high-voltage DC voltage for the electrode generated.
  • a spray coating device is known from US Pat. No. 4,000,443 which is an increase in spray current when an object to be coated approaches the spraying device by reducing the High voltage is counteracted to keep the spray current constant.

  • One is known from EP 0 626 208 B1 Spray coating device known, in which also the Input voltage of a high voltage generator reversed to Spray current is changed, the spray flow at one of the High voltage electrode upstream electrical resistance indirectly is measured by measuring a voltage drop.
  • From GB 2 077 006 A it is known to increase the current of the electrode spray current a corresponding voltage reduction of the high voltage within a to counteract predetermined operational window.
  • US 4 187 527 it is known to do so in short time intervals to compare measured spray current measurements and in the case a rapid increase in current, which indicates a short circuit, the switch off electrical power supply.
  • the object of the invention is to solve the dangers of one high electrical voltage at the high voltage electrode at a large distance between an electrically conductive object or an excessive current or short-circuit current when an object comes too close to the Avoid high-voltage electrode, taking the object too coating object or an operator or another Can be the subject, and at the same time the spray coating device to be designed in such a way that optimal electrical energy consumption is kept to a minimum Coating results can be achieved.
