Description

TETE DE PULVERISATION SPRAY HEAD
La présente invention a pour objet une tête de pulvérisation de sécurité, notamment pour pistolets de pulvérisation à haute pression comprenant un élément rotatif placé dans un corps central et traversé par un canal présentant un orifice de pulvérisation et un joint assurant 1 ' étanchéité entre l'élément rotatif et le pistolet .The present invention relates to a safety spray head, in particular for high-pressure spray guns comprising a rotary element placed in a central body and traversed by a channel having a spray orifice and a seal ensuring the seal between the rotary element and gun.
Le brevet américain US 3 952 955 montre une tête de pulvérisation avec un bec de protection présentant un mécanisme d'alignement avec ladite tête.US Patent 3,952,955 shows a spray head with a protective nozzle having an alignment mechanism with said head.
Le brevet US 3 955 763 décrit une buse de pulvérisation destinée à être fixée sur le diffuseur d'un pistolet de pulvérisation, la buse comprenant un élément rotatif se présentant sous la forme d'une bille présentant un orifice de pulvérisation ménagé dans un conduit circulaire. Cette buse comprend un boîtier entourant l'élément rotatif et un organe d'étanchéité placé dans le boîtier et s ' appliquant de manière étanche contre l'élément rotatif. Le boîtier, l'élément rotatif et l'organe d'étanchéité sont assemblés en une seule opération par vissage sur le diffuseur du pistolet de pulvérisation. Lorsque l'utilisateur désire changer de buse, il doit séparer la buse du diffuseur du pistolet et assembler ensuite les différentes pièces la constituant avant de procéder en une seule opération au remontage de la buse sur le diffuseur du pistolet. L'utilisateur peut rencontrer des difficultés lors de cette opération, car les pièces constituant la buse doivent être dans une position idéale l'une par rapport à l'autre avant de procéder au serrage de la buse.US Patent 3,955,763 describes a spray nozzle intended to be fixed to the diffuser of a spray gun, the nozzle comprising a rotary element having the form of a ball having a spray orifice formed in a circular duct. This nozzle comprises a housing surrounding the rotary element and a sealing member placed in the housing and seals sealingly against the rotary element. The housing, the rotary element and the sealing member are assembled in a single operation by screwing onto the diffuser of the spray gun. When the user wishes to change the nozzle, he must separate the nozzle of the gun diffuser and then assemble the various parts constituting it before proceeding in a single operation to reassemble the nozzle on the gun diffuser. The user may encounter difficulties during this operation, since the parts constituting the nozzle must be in an ideal position relative to each other before tightening the nozzle.
Le brevet US 4 165 836 décrit une buse rotative de pulvérisation comprenant un élément rotatif cylindrique et un joint d'étanchéité destiné à empêcher les fluides à haute pression de fuir. Il comprend un organe métallique d'appui portant contre l'élément rotatif et un élément élastique et espacé serré entre l'élément métallique d'appui et le diffuseur du pistolet de pulvérisation, afin de constituer un joint au fluide et simultanément d'assurer la fonction d'un amortisseur protégeant l'élément métallique d'appui contre des forces de serrage excessives. La buse décrite dans le brevet US 4 165 836 présente le même inconvénient que la buse décrite dans le brevet US 3 955 763. D'autre part, 1 ' écrou de serrage de la buse est solidaire de celle-ci et ne peut être changé. Cette buse est donc destinée à être montée sur un seul type de pistolet et ne peut par conséquent être adaptée sur tous les pistolets existants.US Patent 4,165,836 describes a rotary spray nozzle comprising a cylindrical rotary member and a seal for preventing high pressure fluids from leaking. It comprises a metallic support member bearing against the rotary element and an elastic and spaced element clamped between the metallic support element and the diffuser of the spray gun, so as to form a seal with the fluid and simultaneously ensure the function of a shock absorber protecting the metallic support element against excessive clamping forces. The nozzle described in US Patent 4,165,836 has the same drawback as the nozzle described in US Patent 3,955,763. On the other hand, the clamping nut of the nozzle is integral with it and cannot be changed . This nozzle is therefore intended to be mounted on a single type of gun and cannot therefore be adapted on all existing guns.
Le brevet suisse CH 655 867 nous montre une tête qui a déjà un élément rotatif, cet élément présentant une rainure circulaire. Le corps central comprend un alésage et entre les deux on peut introduire un joint qui présente une section qui s'adapte à cette forme géométrique et qui permet qu'un élément rotatif soit guidé, positionné et maintenu dans sa cavité à l'intérieur du corps central.Swiss patent CH 655,867 shows us a head which already has a rotary element, this element having a circular groove. The central body includes a bore and between the two a seal can be introduced which has a section which adapts to this geometric shape and which allows a rotary element to be guided, positioned and maintained in its cavity inside the body central.
Quand les têtes ne sont pas réversibles on est obligé d'extraire leurs buses pour les nettoyer, si elles sont réversibles cette opération est très simple et se réalise la plupart des fois en tournant un élément rotatif qui la contient . Néanmoins il faut tenir compte du fait que les buses ont une vie limitée car elles sont utilisées avec des fluides à haute pression qui en bonne partie sont érosifs et produisent une usure qui modifie la géométrie de la buse .When the heads are not reversible, it is necessary to extract their nozzles for cleaning, if they are reversible this operation is very simple and is carried out most of the time by turning a rotary element which contains it. However, it should be taken into account that the nozzles have a limited life because they are used with high pressure fluids which in large part are erosive and produce wear which modifies the geometry of the nozzle.
La vie d'une buse peut être prolongée si on la fabrique avec des matériaux plus résistants à l'usure comme le carbure de tungstène, mais cela n'évitera pas qu'à un moment ou autre elle doive être remplacée. Comme conséquence il est clair qu'une opération simple pour le démontage de cet élément rotatif qui contient la buse en vue de son remplacement soit toujours souhaitable.The life of a nozzle can be extended if it is manufactured with more wear-resistant materials such as tungsten carbide, but this will not prevent that at one time or another it must be replaced. As a result, it is clear that a simple operation for dismantling this rotary element which contains the nozzle with a view to its replacement is always desirable.
La présente invention tient à palier ces inconvénients et à proposer, une tête avec un élément rotatif de conception extrêmement simple qui permet d'ouvrir le passage du fluide sous pression et de l'arrêter. Elle est autonettoyante et facilement démontable pour changer l'élément rotatif qui contient la buse de pulvérisation.The present invention seeks to overcome these drawbacks and to propose a head with a rotating design element. extremely simple to open and stop the passage of the pressurized fluid. It is self-cleaning and easily removable to change the rotary element which contains the spray nozzle.
Selon la présente invention, la tête de pulvérisation comprend un élément rotatif placé dans un corps central et traversé par un canal présentant un orifice de pulvérisation et un joint assurant 1 ' étanchéité entre l'élément rotatif et le pistolet, caractérisée en ce que l'élément rotatif présente dans sa partie centrale une forme sphérique apte à collaborer avec le joint placé à 1 ' intérieur du corps central et deux sièges circulaires placés de part et d'autre de la partie sphérique prenant appui sur des sièges placés de part et d'autre du corps central.According to the present invention, the spray head comprises a rotary element placed in a central body and traversed by a channel having a spray orifice and a seal ensuring the seal between the rotary element and the gun, characterized in that the rotary element has in its central part a spherical shape capable of collaborating with the seal placed inside the central body and two circular seats placed on either side of the spherical part bearing on seats placed on either side other from the central body.
Avec cette configuration l'avantage est que les défauts d'alignement entre la sphère et le siège-support ont beaucoup moins d'importance de façon que les tolérances sont beaucoup plus larges avec la construction selon 1 ' invention .With this configuration the advantage is that the misalignments between the sphere and the support seat are much less important so that the tolerances are much wider with the construction according to one invention.
Dans un mode d'exécution préféré le joint est un siège- support en acier inoxydable collaborant avec la partie sphérique de l'élément rotatif.In a preferred embodiment, the seal is a stainless steel support seat collaborating with the spherical part of the rotary element.
L'élément rotatif est retenu latéralement à l'intérieur du corps central cylindrique par la pression exercée sur le siège-support relié au pistolet de pulvérisation avec la collaboration d'un adaptateur de serrage. Un joint en nylon ou polyamide est placé avantageusement entre le siège-support et le pistolet.The rotary element is retained laterally inside the central cylindrical body by the pressure exerted on the support seat connected to the spray gun with the collaboration of a clamping adapter. A nylon or polyamide seal is advantageously placed between the support seat and the gun.
Le siège- support dispose d'un joint torique placé dans une rainure circulaire assurant 1 ' étanchéité entre le siège- support et la partie centrale.The support seat has an O-ring placed in a circular groove ensuring a seal between the support seat and the central part.
De même, le siège-support dispose d'un ressort qui l'écarté de l'élément rotatif quand il est séparé du pistolet de manière que l'élément rotatif peut être extrait du corps central.Likewise, the support seat has a spring which moves it away from the rotary element when it is separated from the gun so that the rotary element can be extracted from the central body.
La partie supérieure du siège- support présente avantageusement une forme concave de manière que le contact avec la partie sphérique de l'élément rotatif facilite le mouvement relatif d'une pièce contre l'autre.The upper part of the support seat advantageously has a concave shape so that contact with the spherical part of the rotary element facilitates the relative movement of one part against the other.
Dans un mode d'exécution préféré, l'élément rotatif est relié à une poignée qui permet de le tourner jusque un demi cercle entre deux positions extrêmes, un rebord avec deux surfaces opposées plates associé à la poignée bute contre la surface supérieure de 1 ' adaptateur de serrage lors de la rotation de manière à que les deux positions soient fixes.In a preferred embodiment, the rotary element is connected to a handle which makes it possible to rotate it up to a semi-circle between two extreme positions, a flange with two opposite flat surfaces associated with the handle abuts against the upper surface of 1 ' clamping adapter during rotation so that the two positions are fixed.
La tête de pulvérisation peut disposer avantageusement d'une gâche autour de la buse pour la protection de 1 ' utilisateur .The spray head may advantageously have a keeper around the nozzle for the protection of the user.
Cette configuration présente l'avantage que la poignée peut subir une inversion de 180°, ce qui permet l'opération de nettoyage en inversant la position de la poignée. Toujours la construction permet un démontage extrêmement aisé des pièces dû au fait qu'il suffit de dévisser 1 ' écrou reliant le pistolet à la tête pour libérer le joint qui est poussé par le bas par l'action du ressort; l'élément rotatif peut ainsi être retiré.This configuration has the advantage that the handle can undergo a 180 ° inversion, which allows the cleaning operation by reversing the position of the handle. Still the construction allows an extremely easy disassembly of the parts due to the fact that it suffices to unscrew the nut connecting the gun to the head to release the seal which is pushed from below by the action of the spring; the rotary element can thus be removed.
Le dessin illustre à titre d'exemple une forme d'exécution d'une tête de pulvérisation selon l'invention.The drawing illustrates by way of example an embodiment of a spray head according to the invention.
Dans le dessin :In the drawing:
- la figure 1 nous montre une vue générale d'une tête de pulvérisation, avec une section partielle dans laquelle à gauche est présenté en position quand elle est vissée au pistolet et à droite lorsqu'elle est dévissée,- Figure 1 shows us a general view of a spray head, with a partial section in which on the left is presented in position when it is screwed with the gun and on the right when it is unscrewed,

- la figure 3 montre le même élément rotatif tourné de 90 dégrées par rapport à la figure 2.FIG. 3 shows the same rotary element rotated by 90 degrees relative to FIG. 2.
Dans le dessin, l'élément rotatif 1 est composé d'une partie centrale sphérique 2, et deux sièges cylindriquesIn the drawing, the rotary element 1 is composed of a spherical central part 2, and two cylindrical seats
3,4. A son intérieur il y a une buse de pulvérisation 5 en carbure de tungstène et à 1 ' extrême une poignée 6 en plastique surmoulé. La buse 5 en carbure de tungstène qui est à l'intérieur de la partie sphérique 2 de l'élément rotatif 1 est introduite à pression et fixée avec une vis percée 7 en acier inoxydable, entre la buse 5 et la vis 7 se trouvant un joint 8 en polyamide ou plastique. Dans la partie cylindrique de l'élément rotatif 1 et du côté le plus proche de la poignée il y a un rebord avec deux surfaces opposées plates 9. L'élément rotatif 1 est introduit dans un corps central 10 perpendiculairement à son axe. Ce corps central 10 présente deux sièges 11, 12 circulaires latéraux pour collaborer avec les sièges circulaires cylindriques 3,4 équivalents de l'élément rotatif 1. Dans sa partie inférieure il présente un diamètre plus grand qui sert comme rebord de rétention 13. Le corps central 10 présente à son intérieur un joint 14 sous forme de siège- support qui est cylindrique et qui de son côté supérieur 15 marie la forme sphérique de la partie centrale 2 de l'élément rotatif. Dans la base il dispose d'un joint 16 en nylon ou en polyamide et autour de lui un joint torique 17 en acier inoxydable situé entre le siège-support 14 et le corps central 10. Un ressort 18 libère le siège-support 14 du corps central 10 quand la tête de pulvérisation est dévissée du pistolet. Autour du corps central il y a un adaptateur de serrage 19 au pistolet donc la partie supérieure 20 est plate pour collaborer avec les butées 9 de l'élément rotatif. A son intérieur, l'adaptateur de serrage 19 dispose d'une partie usinée en écrou 21 pour pouvoir le visser au pistolet. Une gâche de protection 22 est placée autour de la buse 5 et présente une forme 23 qui embrasse le corps central 10, l'élément rotatif 1 et l'adaptateur de serrage 19. Elle a ainsi un orifice 24 pour permettre le passage de l'élément rotatif 1. Dès que la tête de pulvérisation est fixée au pistolet le ressort 18 est sous pression et le siège-support 14 du corps central 10 va se serrer contre la partie centrale 2 de l'élément rotatif 1. Ce serrement se produit profitant de la forme spéciale 15 de la partie supérieure du siège- support qui a été usinée mécaniquement en forme de demi- sphère et ajustée par pression contre ladite partie centrale 2 de l'élément rotatif pour permettre le passage étanche du fluide et en même temps la rotation de l'élément rotatif 1 à l'intérieur du corps central 10. Les joints 16 et 17 vont contribuer définitivement à faire que tout le chemin soit étanche. Dans la position de travail le fluide passe au travers de l'orifice 25 du siège- support 14 du corps central 10 et continue par l'élément rotatif 1 en s ' acheminant à l'extérieur par la buse 5 de pulvérisation. L'élément rotatif 1 est fixé dans sa position de travail par une butée 9, sur la partie supérieure 20 de l'adaptateur de serrage 19, quand on tourne l'élément rotatif d'un demi-tour pour passer au nettoyage, la butée 9 qui présente deux surfaces opposées plates est confrontée par son autre côté contre la même surface supérieure 20 de l'adaptateur de serrage 19.3.4. Inside there is a spray nozzle 5 made of tungsten carbide and at one end a handle 6 made of molded plastic. The nozzle 5 of tungsten carbide which is inside the spherical part 2 of the rotary element 1 is introduced under pressure and fixed with a drilled screw 7 of stainless steel, between the nozzle 5 and the screw 7 being a seal 8 made of polyamide or plastic. In the cylindrical part of the rotary element 1 and on the side closest to the handle there is a flange with two opposite flat surfaces 9. The rotary element 1 is introduced into a central body 10 perpendicular to its axis. This central body 10 has two lateral circular seats 11, 12 for collaborating with the equivalent cylindrical circular seats 3,4 of the rotary element 1. In its lower part it has a larger diameter which serves as a retaining rim 13. The body central 10 has inside a seal 14 in the form of a seat-support which is cylindrical and which on its upper side 15 combines the spherical shape of the central part 2 of the rotary element. In the base it has a nylon 16 or polyamide seal 16 and around it an O-ring 17 made of stainless steel located between the support seat 14 and the central body 10. A spring 18 releases the support seat 14 from the body central 10 when the spray head is unscrewed from the gun. Around the central body there is a clamping adapter 19 to the gun, therefore the upper part 20 is flat to collaborate with the stops 9 of the rotary element. Inside, the clamping adapter 19 has a machined part in nut 21 in order to be able to screw it with a gun. A protective keeper 22 is placed around the nozzle 5 and has a shape 23 which embraces the central body 10, the rotary element 1 and the clamping adapter 19. It thus has an orifice 24 to allow the passage of the rotary element 1. As soon as the spray head is fixed to the gun, the spring 18 is under pressure and the support seat 14 of the central body 10 will tighten against the central part 2 of the rotary element 1. This tightening takes advantage of the special shape. 15 of the upper part of the support seat which has been mechanically machined in the shape of a hemisphere and pressurized against said central part 2 of the rotary element to allow the fluid passage of the fluid and at the same time the rotation of the rotary element 1 inside the central body 10. The seals 16 and 17 will definitively contribute to making all the way waterproof. In the working position, the fluid passes through the orifice 25 of the support seat 14 of the central body 10 and continues through the rotary element 1, being conveyed to the outside by the spray nozzle 5. The rotary element 1 is fixed in its working position by a stop 9, on the upper part 20 of the clamping adapter 19, when the rotary element is turned by half a turn to pass to cleaning, the stop 9 which has two opposite flat surfaces is confronted by its other side against the same upper surface 20 of the clamping adapter 19.
Dans toutes les positions intermédiaires de l'élément rotatif 1, le fluide qui traverse le conduit 25 va se heurter contre la partie centrale 2 de l'élément rotatif à un endroit qui est décalé par rapport à la buse 5 de pulvérisation et par conséquent le circuit est fermé et le fluide ne peut pas passer. Quand la tête de pulvérisation est dévissée du pistolet, le ressort 18 pousse le siège-support 14 pour qu'il s'écarte de la partie sphérique 2 de l'élément rotatif 1 de manière que ce dernier puisse être extrait sans difficulté du corps central 10.In all the intermediate positions of the rotary element 1, the fluid which passes through the duct 25 will collide against the central part 2 of the rotary element at a location which is offset with respect to the spray nozzle 5 and consequently the circuit is closed and the fluid cannot pass. When the spray head is unscrewed from the gun, the spring 18 pushes the support seat 14 so that it moves away from the spherical part 2 of the rotary element 1 so that the latter can be easily removed from the central body 10.
La partie sphérique 2 de l'élément rotatif 1 ainsi que les deux sièges cylindriques 3,4 qui sont en acier subissent un durcissement par traitement thermique et présentent après cette opération une dureté de 55 Rockwell.The spherical part 2 of the rotary element 1 as well as the two cylindrical seats 3, 4 which are made of steel undergo hardening by heat treatment and after this operation have a hardness of 55 Rockwells.
Le joint ou siège-support 14 est réalisé dans un acier inoxydable conventionnel, par exemple un acier easy 3003. Ce joint est non traité, par contre il subit une opération de matriçage effectuée à l'aide de la partie sphérique 2 de l'élément rotatif 1. The seal or support seat 14 is made of a conventional stainless steel, for example an easy 3003 steel. This seal is untreated, on the other hand it undergoes a stamping operation carried out using the spherical part 2 of the element. rotary 1.
