Definitions
- the invention relates to a color change valve arrangement for optional connection of an application organ of a coating system with a variety of supply lines for Coating material of different selectable colors according to the preamble of the claim.
- Such valve arrangements in coating systems for series coating of workpieces such as motor vehicle bodies needed are u.a. from DE 198 36 604 and DE 198 46 073 known.
- These color change valve arrangements or short color changer allow in paint shops during the paint shop a rapid change from one color to another and persist mainly of a number of controllable color valve units, along a color channel common to all colors are distributed.
- they are in block construction of individual Modules (connection blocks, terminal strips, control heads) formed, which can be strung together, so that a variable, subsequently enlargeable or reducible Number of connections for color cables can be realized can.
- the color valves are usually further, similar constructed valves for flushing media such as thinner liquid and pulse air provided.
- the valve units exist turn from pin or needle valves, the valve needle pressed by a compression spring in the closed position and against their power from a pneumatically controlled piston drive be opened.
- valve needles along the in Rule straight collecting channel juxtaposed valve units are moved in parallel planes that perpendicular to the collecting channel axis, for improvement the flow conditions but also be arranged obliquely can (DE 198 46 073, WO 02/09886).
- color changers known for space reduction instead of the usual Straight collection channel a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the Color change block arranged spiral groove included (DE 43 39 301), which is less aerodynamic than a straighter one Collecting duct.
- color changer of the considered here Genus by significant advantages such as dead space, good Flushability, low dead volume, small size, low weight, modular construction, small number of parts, assembly, Maintenance and repair friendliness etc. off. They have Therefore, proven in practice for a long time. 'Disadvantage is in the known color changers but their number selectable shades corresponding length in the longitudinal direction of common collection channel. As a result, the known ones are suitable Color changer relatively bad for installation in close Rooms of coating machines such as e.g. Painting robots and even worse for installation in the on these machines mounted atomizer itself, as it u.a. from those in the simultaneous registration EP ... (according to DE 103 34 412.8) may be desirable.
- the invention is therefore based on the object, the length of the Color changer in the longitudinal direction of the valve units common Collection channel and in particular the size of the valve units down to the needle axes to a minimum, without thereby the required sealing effect against to deteriorate the valve seat pressed valve needle.
- the invention assumes that for the safe and reliable Function of valves whose needles (with what arbitrary Pins are meant) in the closed position with a certain Minimum force due to the required sealing effect must not be fallen below, against the valve seat must be pressed.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that by lowering this necessary minimum closing force and / or with appropriate reinforcement of the to overcome the minimum closing power available Power Possibilities of miniaturization of the valve unit in particular in a dimension transverse to the needle axis and thus open in the longitudinal direction of the collecting channel. Consequently the color changer is better than before Installation in small spaces with limited space such as e.g. in relatively slim robot arms or relatively small ones Atomizers.
- the invention is suitable for color changer with or without Color circulation (by the known return channels) as Simple color changer or also for the formation of double color changers, the well-known common color supply lines have and with the atomizer on separate color ranges are connected.
- Good for the formation of dual color changers are suitable e.g. particularly according to the invention flat built color change valve assemblies.
- Valve units in a star design, in which at least two, preferably at least three or four or more valve units, their outlet openings in a common lie transversely to the longitudinal axis of the collecting channel extending plane, arranged distributed around the longitudinal axis of the collecting channel are preferably at least two or more more Valve units whose outlet openings in a second, too lie on the first level parallel plane, so around the longitudinal axis arranged distributed the collecting duct, that the valve units the second level in the circumferential direction of the collecting channel lie between the valve units of the first level, so that in the longitudinal direction of the collecting channel especially crowded arrangement results because the distance between the Valve units of the two levels can be smaller than the Diameter measured in the channel longitudinal direction Valve units.
- a expedient possibility consists in particular in the Surface of the valve seat opposite sealing surface of the Valve needle, preferably including its end face and / or the surface of the valve seat of an elastomeric To form material, so that thanks to the softer sealing materials with a relatively low contact force a significant better sealing effect is achievable than before.
- the elastomers Surface is appropriately designed so that no undercuts or dead spaces are formed in which themselves Paint could settle, and not rinsed residue-free could become.
- the elastomeric surface is similar the usual valve needles and valve seats appropriate shaped so that the sealing edge as close to the collection channel is and preferably at least approximately with the Inner wall is aligned (see DE 198 36 604).
- the surfaces concerned the valve needle and the valve seat can in the in a conventional manner rectilinear parallel to each other or For example, in the described in DE 102 28 277 Way curved, wherein the valve needle is a substantially having spherical outer contour.
- a variant of option described here is inside a e.g. made of a plastic such as UHMPE or UHMWPE (polyethylene ultra high molecular weight) needle tip for example, consisting of an elastomeric O-ring spring element to use such that an elastically yielding ("soft”) needle tip results.
- valve needles of the paint valves a color changer adjacent to the conical tip with a Ring groove and an O-shaped therein Gasket to provide an additional seal reach (DE 198 46 073).
- the invention has the advantage that formed by the O-shaped sealing ring Undercuts and dead spaces are avoided in which can not settle rinse off paint residues, the if later replaced, cause color defects of the coating, and that the sealing edge of the needle directly on the Can be collecting channel.
- the closing force is preferably generated by a spring whose Force to open the valve from the pressure medium of the piston drive device must be overcome.
- a spring with a degressive characteristic curve is another appropriate opportunity for reduction the necessary minimum closing force in it.
- the invention is based on the finding that the largest Closing force required only in the idle state of the closed valve is, while on actuation of the valve with a the piston stroke decreasing size of the pressure to be overcome is desirable.
- a compression spring used whose characteristic more when squeezed or less (hard or soft) sloping curved. The same applies to the use which is also possible in itself a tension spring instead of the compression spring.
- a structurally particularly simple way of power amplification consists in the use of a piston, which at the of the pressure medium acted surface a non-circular, for example, flat, rectangular or oval Cross section has, with the short axis of this cross section should be parallel to the direction in which the valve unit miniaturized, so for example in Longitudinal direction of the collecting channel. Comparing this piston drive with the usual valve drive with a cylindrical Piston, this results in the same piston size in the direction of the short cross-sectional axis a significant greater force (pressure x piston area) and the same force a much narrower piston.
- the drive device furthermore at least two e.g. along the piston movement axis arranged one behind the other, each of the drive medium Contained piston surfaces included in two against each other sealed piston chambers or other Way can be appropriately coupled together.
- the drive device for acting of the piston a force transducer for reinforcement contain the force of the pressure medium.
- Force transducers are usually each a relatively low linear force in a higher linear force or, more generally, a given force or force Pressure component under force amplification in a linear other To transform power.
- Et al can be known for power amplification Principles such as lever law, pulley, toggle, Scissors, inclined plane, etc. are used.
- the valve units in the usual way with positive Valve seat are constructed and the pressure medium on the Collector channel facing away from the piston is supplied, The force gain can be useful with a reversal of motion be connected and / or with the conversion of Linearin Rotary movements and vice versa. Embodiments for this will be explained later.
- Particularly small needle or pin valve units can be realize, if according to another possibility that the Valve actuated drive unit which supplied the pressure medium will, at a remote location outside the actual Valve unit of the color changer arranged and with this by a preferably flexible mechanical drive element is connected.
- a large-sized piston to produce a corresponding high force can be used for the valve needle, without To claim space in the valve unit, as a result extremely small can be measured.
- the connection can be, for example via a flexible shaft (similar to a Bowden cable or the like) are produced.
- valve units can correspond to known constructions, For example, Fig. 2 of DE 198 36 604, after which the with the piston provided valve needle by compressed air against pressed the force of a compression spring in the open position in which they are the way for the color or rinsing medium in the Collecting channel releases.
- Fig. 2 of DE 198 36 604 after which the with the piston provided valve needle by compressed air against pressed the force of a compression spring in the open position in which they are the way for the color or rinsing medium in the Collecting channel releases.
- the opposite Opening direction be more appropriate (positive Valve seat as in the mentioned DE 198 46 073).
- the Color changer described here may accordingly the usual Control technology with pneumatic hoses leading to the valves and installed in an external pneumatic cabinet Solenoid valves are applied. Instead it can but in some cases more convenient, such as in arrangement the color changer in a nebulizer, according to the same already mentioned EP 1 205 256 in each valve unit Miniature pilot valve in the form of an electromagnetically piloted Install pneumatic valve.
- the in the collecting channel the color changer opening pneumatic valves for the Color or flushing media are here by compressed air or a other pressurized gas from one through the valve assembly to all Valves leading common compressed gas line actuated, and within the valve assembly can each one conventional Pressure port replacing solenoid valve in the Be switched compressed gas path of the pneumatic valve.
- the control the solenoid valves is preferably carried out with a through the valve assembly leading data bus for digital Control data obtained with the solenoid valves via an electronic Circuit is coupled.
- the pilot valves can also be actuated piezo-electrically, whereby a further miniaturization is achievable.
- Another way to miniaturize the color changer consists in the cultivation of a valve units upstream Central control module of DE 101 42 355 (See, Fig. 7 to 9) described type.
- These control modules contain a valve common to the paint valves whose pneumatic output signal to the respective color valve to be controlled be fed via a route control unit, the one certain number formed in a common housing block, through openings within the housing block with each other contains connected directional control valves.
- valve control pilot valves in a separate, e.g. cylindrical or annular attachment control unit to accommodate that in the for the hose lines provided space and to a common supply line and possibly an electric cable for the control the color changer, preferably with fieldbus control connected can be.
- valve unit 1 shown in Fig. 1 of the described here Color changer is the same except for the cross-sectional shape of the piston of the prior art and contains accordingly a slidably mounted valve needle 10, on the the piston 11 is fixed, which is sealed at its periphery is displaceable in the cylinder chamber 12.
- a coil spring 13 On his the cylinder room 12 opposite side presses against the piston 11th a coil spring 13, which is supported on the valve housing 14.
- the spring 13 By the spring 13, the free end of the valve needle 10 in the rest position forming the closed position pressed against the valve seat 15 of the housing 14.
- To open the illustrated valve is connected via a control valve 16 (the when using the conventional control technique, e.g. in a remote control cabinet) by the arrow DL indicated compressed air into the sealed cylinder chamber 12th directed.
- FIG. 1A is a section through the circumference of the piston 11.
- FIG and the cylinder chamber 12 enclosing wall of the housing 14th transverse to the direction of displacement and shows that in this embodiment oval cross-sectional shape of the piston and the housing, thus in the one transverse direction a shorter one Diameter and in the other transverse direction perpendicular thereto has a longer diameter.
- the modified valve unit 2 shown in FIG. 2 differs from the embodiment of FIG. 1 thereby, that according to the representation of the valve needle 20 coaxial two in Attached longitudinally of the needle spaced piston 11 'and 21 are in their own sealed cylinder chambers 12 'and 22 slidably mounted and in these at open control valve 16 each of the compressed air DL against the force of the spring 13 'are acted upon. This can be done at a given small diameter of the valve unit 2 the force generated by the compressed air can be doubled.
- valve unit 3 shown in Fig. 3 are in principle Similarly, as in Fig. 2 also two simultaneously from the Compressed air acted upon piston surfaces 31 and 32 fixed to the Valve needle 30 is connected and coaxial with her in the longitudinal direction arranged one behind the other, so that a similar Force gain results.
- the two pistons form here but a hollow cylindrical body 33 with, for example, cylindrical or as in Fig. 1A oval cross section, in the housing 34 of the valve unit is slidably mounted, at its the valve seat facing an outside the first Piston surface 31 forms, at its the first piston surface 31st facing away from the inner wall of its interior, the second piston surface 32 forms and at its to the first piston surface 31st opposite outside of the compression spring 13 '' acted upon becomes.

Said other interior part is through an opening 39th the cylinder body 33 vented.
- the compressed air DL passes as shown from the adjacent to the piston surface 31 Cylinder space 12 'of the housing 34 through a through the valve needle 30 and the guide body 35 passing bore 38 in the second cylinder chamber 37. Since the interior of the cylinder body 33 closed except for the vent opening 39 is, here are the two cylinder chambers 12 'and 37th sealed against each other.
- Fig. 4 shows a first embodiment of a for reduction the valve unit in at least one dimension suitable Force transducer 40, which is essentially linear by two displaceable parallel to each other in opposite directions mounted racks 41 and 42 is formed, the via a stationary rotatably mounted arrangement of two coaxially fixedly connected pinions 34 and 44 different Size are coupled together.
- the Drive rack 41 in the direction of the arrow K1 of the Valve actuation available pressure is transmitted, it transmits this movement on the meshing with it small pinion 43, while the mitgecardte larger pinion movement on the transmits with him combing output rack 42 transmits.
- the Rack 42 is characterized in the opposite to the K1 Direction of the arrow K2 moves and acts on this Example, the valve needle with a force corresponding to the gear ratio of the pinions 43 and 44 is larger as the force with which the rack 41 is driven.
- the pinions and / or racks are preferably at least arranged in pairs, for favorable balance of power to reach.
- the one rack as a hollow shaft with internal teeth and the other rack than in the hollow shaft arranged shaft can be realized with external teeth, whereby itself a particularly space-saving in the transverse direction Construction results.
- the fixed relative to an outer housing Intermediate pinions can be in any cage Number to be guided inside.
- the drive unit for the valve needle can also by a Linear transmission formed with a rotary actuator and a spindle become.
- a rotating piston to the generated Rotary movement via the spindle and spindle nut in a linear movement convert.
- the force transducer 50 may include a linearly driven in the direction of the arrow K1 (similar to FIG. 4) first spindle rod 51 containing the stationary mounted nut member 52 with axially spaced threaded parts different slope turns. In the other threaded part sits the second spindle rod 53 through the Rotary movement of the nut member 52 linearly in the same direction is moved as the first spindle rod 51 and in the direction of the arrow K2 exerts a force corresponding to the Transmission ratio of the different thread pitches is greater than the driving force of the first spindle rod.
- Fig. 6 is as a force transducer 60, a linear transmission with fluidic Power amplification shown. In this example it is a hydraulic piston gear.
- the force transducer 60 is located in a valve unit, the with respect to the ink path controlled by the valve needle 61 (Arrows F) Fig. 1 may correspond.
- the generally cylindrical Housing 62 of the valve unit contains two axially one behind the other, by a radial partition wall 621 against each other completed cylinder chambers 622 and 623. As shown extends coaxially from the partition wall 621 to the housing 62 a fixedly connected to this, against the Cylinder chamber 623 open hollow cylinder 624 with relatively small Diameter in the cylinder chamber 622 into and ends there in a radially projecting fixed guide disc 625.
- the guide washer 625 is seated at its periphery sealed in the interior of a coaxial with the valve needle 61st attached and slidable with it in the housing 62 hollow cylindrical piston body 68, to which the valve needle facing away from the outer wall provided for closing the valve Compression spring 63 attacks, located on its other side supported on the housing partition wall 621.
- Piston 64 in the manner already described is driven by the control air DL.
- the piston 64 is but not attached to the valve needle 61, but extends itself with a coaxially projecting, for example cylindrical shaft 641 axially displaceable in the stationary Hollow cylinder 624 inside.
- the interior of the hollow cylinder 624 at 626 has an opening in the between the sealing fixed guide disc 625 and the axially opposite Inner wall of the displaceable piston body 68 formed gap 627.
- This gap 627 and the with it communicating interior of the hollow cylinder 624 are up to the end face of the piston skirt 641 with a hydraulic (or appropriate other, possibly also "plastic") Medium filled.
- Fig. 7 shows a valve unit 7 with indirect control drive dar.
- Your pneumatic drive device 70 as Pressure medium, the control air DL is supplied, contains similar as in Fig. 1, a cylinder space 72, in which of the Pressure medium acted upon piston 71 is displaceable.
- the pneumatic drive device 70 is located at this Example but outside the valve unit 7 and is with this by a preferably flexible mechanical connecting element such as the illustrated Bowden cable connected to the usual pull wire 73.
- the pull wire 73 is at its one end to the piston 71 and at the other end one located in the valve unit 7 and on the valve needle attached connecting piston 74 attached, the of the compression spring 75 is acted upon. Otherwise, this corresponds the valve unit 7 of those of FIG. 1 and requires so far no explanation.
- valve unit 7 located connecting piston 74, the only of the wire 73 is pulled into the open position, a substantial smaller diameter than the external Piston 71, due to its largely arbitrarily large Piston area a correspondingly high power for the miniaturized Can produce valve unit 7.
- a miniaturization can be the valve unit also by means for reducing the the drive device to be overcome oppositely directed Force, which is generally sufficient Sealing effect required valve closing force reach.
- valve needle illustrated in FIG. 8 80 conical with one at the radial outside Tip 81, whose rectilinear in cross-section sealing surface 82nd with closed valve at the corresponding conically shaped Surface of the valve seat 83 is applied.
- at least the sealing surface 82 of the valve needle and / or the one the valve seat 83 made of an elastomeric material.
- the needle tip 81 this completely enclosing elastomeric jacket 84 applied, for example by encapsulation or vulcanization.
- the end face 85 of the needle tip should be in the closed position with the wall of all Valve units common collecting channel 86 at least approximately aligned so that as possible no dead space in the there opening color channel 87 of the valve unit is formed.
- elastomeric material of the jacket 84 is in view of the high demands on valve durability and durability against the color and other media used selected; suitable are, for example, plastics such as perfluoroelastomers.
- Fig. 9 is another embodiment with one at her Outside elastically yielding needle tip 91 of the valve needle 90 shown.
- the located at the top 91 elastomeric Sheath 94 is here in one piece an elastic Bellows 95 formed, the circumference of the needle 90 via a essential, to enable the necessary lifting movement encloses sufficient part of their length and, for example attached to a stationary seal 96 or may be formed, in which the needle 90 is guided.
- particularly good closing valves for example be particularly advantageous in color changers for 2-component paints.
- Fig. 10 is a longitudinal direction of all the valve units common collection channel 101 miniaturized color changer for this example 24 colors are shown, which consist of a Number modularly arranged along the collecting channel Sections 102 is composed of four star-shaped respectively with even angular intervals around the collecting channel distributed valve units 103 and 103 'included, whose needle axes in the example shown in a common Level perpendicular to the collecting channel 101 lie.
- the valve units in a conventional manner with a 90 ° different angles of their needle axes in the collecting channel 101 should result in at least the centers of the valve seats the four valves in a common plane across the Collecting duct.
- valve units adjacent portions 102 of the color changer each offset so that the valve units 103 of a plane in the circumferential direction of the collecting channel 101st each in the middle between the adjacent valve units 103 'lie the other level.
- valve units 103 and 103 ' are not on the example described in each Level several valve units distributed around the collecting duct limited, but can be used to reduce space requirements transverse to the collecting duct up to the arrangement of only two Valve units or even just one valve unit at each Level be generalized.
- a single row of Valve units may be arranged in the longitudinal direction of the collecting channel each adjacent valve units to a convenient selected angle, for example, by about 45 °, against each other are offset so that two are nested together Groups of each in the longitudinal direction of the collecting channel with each other aligned valve units are formed.
- the displacement angle on the one hand should be as small as possible to accommodate in the direction across the collection channel and across the two
- the mutual distance the needle longitudinal axes of the adjacent valve units should therefore be smaller than the minimum distance they are at have the same external dimensions of the valve units, if the adjacent valve units as in known color changers would be aligned with each other without angular displacement.
- FIG. 11 schematically shows a color changer 110, the via a quick-change coupling arrangement to its supply lines connected.
- the color changer electrically controlled pilot valves and this one electronic control unit 115 may include an electrical connector 116 for the preferred fieldbus control of the control unit 115 may be provided.
- Suitable quick-change couplings are known per se, even those that have a quick disconnect of pressurized and / or e.g. filled with colored lacquer Enable hoses.
- the color changer illustrated in FIG. 11 may be, for example correspond to the valve assembly of FIG. 10. Accordingly, at 118 is the output of the common collection channel denotes, with 119 and 119 'two in the circumferential direction against each other offset valve units adjacent layers and with 120 connected to a valve unit line for the control air (DL in Fig. 1, etc.).
