Definitions

  • the invention relates to an application head for dispensing an application medium according to the preamble of claim 1, in particular for producing a liquid film for transport protection of a motor vehicle.
  • liquid films are used inter alia, which are applied by means of an application head automatically on the vehicle body.
  • This technology enables good vehicle protection and flexible coating of individual partial surfaces of various vehicle models, with only changes to the application paths of the respective coating robot being required.
  • both horizontal and vertical surfaces can be coated with such a liquid film.
  • An application head which enables the production of a liquid film for the transport protection of motor vehicle bodies.
  • the known application head on two spray nozzles, via which the coating agent is applied, which forms the liquid film.
  • a disadvantage of the known application head is that the coating agent is applied beyond the edge of the film, which is also referred to as “overspray” and requires time-consuming cleaning of the motor vehicle to be protected.
  • the known application head produces a film with an uneven layer thickness, which leads to an insufficient protection for a thin film and is associated with a too thick film with a high material consumption.
  • the web width is limited when applied with the known application head described above, resulting in long cycle times.
  • a dispensing head which serves to receive solder drops in matrix form or deliver.
  • the dispensing head therefore has outlet openings arranged in the form of a matrix, each of which receives or delivers a drop of solder.
  • this known dispensing head is not suitable for the application of a liquid film, which in particular, it is because the adjacent outlet openings are so far apart that no closed application film is formed.
  • an application head which serves for the application of a liquid to a rotating object, such as a semiconductor wafer, a liquid crystal panel or a photomask.
  • the liquid to be applied in this case is low-viscosity and is pressed through a plate with numerous micropores, in order to avoid that a sharp jet of liquid is produced, which produces surface defects on the surface.
  • the micropores have only a very small opening cross-section, so that this known application head is only suitable for the application of low-viscosity liquids.
  • a much higher viscosity medium is applied, so that this known application head is not suitable for the application of a liquid film, since the micropores would clog by the higher viscosity medium.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to improve the known application head described above accordingly.
  • the application head according to the invention has a material connection which opens into a chamber, wherein a plurality of outlet openings open out of the chamber in order to be able to apply the application medium in a planar manner.
  • the chamber between the material connection and the outlet openings causes a largely constant pressure of the application medium at the various outlet openings, which contributes to a uniform application of the application medium.
  • chambers can be arranged one behind the other in the flow direction in the application head between the material connection and the outlet opening, wherein the individual chambers are in fluid communication with one another. This advantageously contributes to a uniform application pressure, whereby the coating quality is improved.
  • the individual chambers of the application head according to the invention can each have the same volume, but within the scope of the invention it is also possible for the individual chambers to have different sized volumes.
  • the application head according to the invention preferably has a small chamber volume, so that the beginning and the end of an application process can be set as accurately as possible.
  • the chamber volume of each individual chamber or all chambers together less than 2000 mm 3 , 1000 mm 3 , 500 mm 3 or even less than 400 mm 3 be.
  • the chamber volume depends on the number and the cross-section of the outlet openings, since with a small number of outlet openings and the chamber volume should be correspondingly small in order to avoid dripping at the end of an application process.
  • V CHAMBER A GES * k, where k is preferably between 1 mm 2 and 10 mm 2 , with a value of k between 2.6 mm 2 and 6 mm 2 has proven to be particularly advantageous.
  • the application head according to the invention consists of several modules, wherein the individual modules can preferably be selected according to the desired coating properties and releasably (for example by a screw) are connected to each other.
  • the outlet openings are preferably arranged in a detachably mounted and exchangeable module of the application head. This has the advantage that the number and the geometric arrangement of the outlet openings can be easily changed by a corresponding module is mounted.
  • the individual modules are preferably arranged one behind the other in the flow direction, so that the application medium preferably flows through all the chambers in succession.
  • the individual chambers can each be formed by one of the modules, in this case that the number of chambers can be adjusted by a variation of the number of modules.
  • the size of the chambers can be adapted to the application medium used by a suitable module is selected and mounted.
  • the individual modules are preferably plate-shaped and can be mounted one above the other, wherein the individual modules are preferably fixed by screw connections.
  • the outlet openings are preferably arranged side by side with respect to the web direction of the application head, which leads to an enlargement of the web width and to a corresponding shortening of the cycle times.
  • the web direction of the application head in this case preferably extends at right angles to the longitudinal extension of the application head.
  • the chamber in the application head preferably extends in the lateral direction up to the outermost outlet opening, so that the pressure of the application medium over the entire web width is kept substantially constant.
  • a plurality of rows of outlet openings are provided, wherein the individual rows are arranged one behind the other in the web direction of the application head.
  • Each point of the body surface to be protected is thus successively swept by several rows of outlet openings, which advantageously leads to a uniform coating.
  • the outlet openings in the individual rows are preferably laterally offset relative to one another, whereby the uniformity of the application of the application medium is further improved.
  • the individual rows of outlet openings are preferably aligned substantially obtusely or even at right angles to the web direction of the application head.
  • the invention is not limited to an application head having a plurality of rows of exit openings.
  • the application head according to the invention it is also possible for the application head according to the invention to have only a single row of outlet openings, this row preferably being aligned substantially obtusely or even at right angles to the path direction of the application head.
  • the outlet openings of the application head according to the invention may each have an omnidirectional nozzle which radiates the application medium all around.
  • the round jet nozzle is preferably screwed or pressed into a screw thread in the outlet opening, so that the round jet nozzle is replaceable. This offers the possibility of screwing in the application head over the web width round jet nozzles with a different passage cross-section in order to achieve a homogeneous spray pattern despite a pressure gradient in the chamber.
  • one or more of the outlet openings of the application head may be closed by a blanking plug in order to reduce the web width in the case of an application head having a predetermined width.
  • a blanking plug in order to reduce the web width in the case of an application head having a predetermined width.
  • at least one of the with respect to the web direction of the application head Outside outlet openings closed by a blind plug.
  • the individual outlet openings are preferably designed as bores or nozzles in the application head. It should also be mentioned that, in contrast to slot-shaped nozzles, the outlet openings in the application head according to the invention preferably have a round cross-section, the cross-section preferably being circular.
  • the lateral distance between adjacent outlet openings is preferably sufficiently small in order to achieve a closed application film at a low layer thickness.
  • the lateral distance between the adjacent outlet openings for this purpose may be less than 20%, 10% or even less than 5% of the web width.
  • the invention is not limited to the application head described above as a single component, but also includes an application robot with such an application head.
  • the invention also encompasses the novel use of such an application head for producing a liquid film.
  • the invention advantageously enables a simple development of a series of application heads in order to achieve different application widths.
  • the application head according to the invention can be used with pressure or quantity-controlled application systems.
  • Also advantageous in the application head according to the invention are the low layer thickness fluctuations, the low "overspray” during application, the edge sharpness of the applied webs, the compact design, the cost-effective technique in the region of the application head and the simple cleaning of the application head.
  • FIG. 1 shows an application head 1, which can be used for automated application of liquid film by means of a robot, wherein the application head 1 is guided by the robot.
  • the application head 1 has a modular structure and consists essentially of an upper part 2, two intermediate plates 3, 4 and a lower part 5, wherein the upper part 2, the intermediate plates 3, 4 and the upper part 5 are shown in detail in the following figures.
