Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for automatically controlled metered material supply of a coating device for example, the electrostatic serial coating of workpieces and a coating system and a piston dispenser for this purpose according to the preamble of the independent claims.
  • a coating device for example, the electrostatic serial coating of workpieces and a coating system and a piston dispenser for this purpose according to the preamble of the independent claims.
  • it can be the electrostatic serial coating of workpieces such as vehicle bodies with water-based paint or similar conductive coating material of frequently changing color.
  • this intermediate container is designed as a metering cylinder for the metered depending on the particular area to be coated workpiece area supply of the atomizer and for this purpose a z. B. from an electrical Motor via a threaded spindle and a piston rod driven piston contains.
  • the space requirement of the additional metering cylinder is also particularly undesirable if it is to be installed in the atomizer itself, which thereby becomes too bulky for the accessibility of narrow workpiece areas or interior areas, or in the wrist of a painting robot, as described in the patent application DE 10 2004 058 054.
  • an object of the invention is to avoid by filling a dosing cylinder caused time losses with low space requirements.
  • the invention is based on the finding that a similar to the usual A / B-operation material supply the coating device can be realized without interruption by the refilling with a single metering cylinder with two achs Diseaseen areas, if not as previously only an input and an output, but provides two inputs for connection to the color change valve assembly or other source of material and two exits to the nebulizer or other coating device (where the terms "input” and "output” do not signify the material flow limit to a single flow direction, since material z. B. through the outputs and back into the metering cylinder and / or from the metering cylinder through the inputs back to the material source can be promoted).
  • the piston in each of its two opposite movements can promote material to the atomizer, and thus allows an alternate operation of its cylinder areas (A / B operation).
  • a / B operation During a change of material, for example during color change, during the delivery of the first material from one area of the metering cylinder, its other area can be filled with the second material different from the first material.
  • a single dosing drive is sufficient for the piston arrangement of the dosing cylinder, so that not only the space requirement but also the drive effort is halved in comparison with the known A / B systems.
  • the invention has significant further advantages. These include u. a. short color change times and good rinsability during color change. Further, because of the possibility of continuous or quasi-continuous supply of the atomizer, the filling of the metering cylinder with low flow rates possible while the container size has been selected so that the material content is sufficient for the painting of a workpiece or workpiece area and the maximum amount of paint required for different workpieces is fillable. As a result, the space requirement can be further reduced in the invention.
  • the potential separation between the high-voltage nebulizer and the usually grounded color changer required in the electrostatic coating with conductive material is achieved in the piston dispenser described above, especially by an insulating or insulating within the metering cylinder and otherwise in a known manner z. B. by emptying the connecting line between the color changer and the area of the dosing, then from the atomizer is supplied.
  • emptying lines for electrical isolation in particular the pigging technique known for this purpose from the prior art mentioned above can be used.
  • the piston dispenser can also be used for the coating operation without high voltage and / or for non-conductive coating material such as, for example, diluted with conventional solvents paints, no electrical isolation is required.
  • the piston dispenser 10 shown in Fig. 1 of the coating system for. B. a Lackierroboters, is connected between one of the usual (double) valve assembly existing color changer FW and a likewise conventional atomizer Z.
  • the atomizer may be, for example, a rotary atomizer or air atomizer and work electrostatically or without high voltage.
  • the color changer is grounded in electrostatic coating systems.
  • the piston dispenser 10 consists essentially of the metering cylinder 11 with a displaceable in the metering piston assembly 12, which is formed in the embodiment considered here by two firmly together and with a piston rod 13 connected piston elements 14 and 15 respectively.
  • the metering cylinder 11 can be made of ceramic in a manner known per se (EP 1 384 885) and, for example, have a circular or oval cross section.
  • the two piston elements 14 and 15 have a shape corresponding to this cross-section and abut on its circumference with sealing lips on the inner walls of the metering cylinder 11.
  • a metering drive 16 arranged outside the metering cylinder is provided which, for example, may consist of an electric stepping motor M controlled by the program control of the coating system with associated gear and a threaded spindle 17. Instead, other known for the purpose under consideration drive mechanisms may be provided.
  • the nebulizer serving as a coating device thereby be supplied with varying amounts of material during the coating and during a piston stroke.
  • the invention is in the between the two piston elements 14 and 15 released, sealed by the sealing lips to the outside gap 18 is a preferably liquid and preferably paint compatible insulating.
  • the volume of the insulating medium is so great that between the formed on both sides of the piston assembly 12 areas 1 and 2 of the metering cylinder 11, one of which may contain a high voltage on the order of 100 kV coating material and the other placed on ground coating material , the required electrical insulation is ensured.
  • the desired Hochnapssisolierumble could also be formed by air or other insulating gas.
  • Each of the two areas 1 and 2 is connected via an input 1a or 2a and a connected input line L1a or L2a with the color changer and via one output 1b and 2b and a connected output line L1b and L2b with the atomizer.
  • the inlet 1a and the outlet 1b are located at the one end of the dosing cylinder 11 or in its vicinity, while the inputs and outputs 2a and 2b may be located at the opposite end of the metering cylinder or in the vicinity thereof.
  • the inputs and outputs can be arranged, for example, in the cylindrical side wall or in the end walls of the metering cylinder and can be opened and closed by program-controlled valves (not shown).
  • the input lines L1a and L2a and / or the output lines L1b and L2b at least partially save space as preferably gemoldchte Form tube or pipe spiral, wherein the turns of each two lines interleaved and / or can be wound in at least two layers. If they are made of insulating material, these spirals, with electrostatic coating, allow for the necessary electrical isolation between the atomizer and the grounded supply system in the least possible space.
  • the high voltage is turned off. It can also remain switched on if not only the lines L1a and L2a, but also the emptied lines L1b and L2b form insulating sections.
  • the described mode of operation may change in other cases. For example, if no color change occurs, the coating system does not need to be rinsed, and if the high voltage is turned off after a painting operation and remains off until after draining the input lines (or until other isolation lines are formed), the coating material remaining in the output lines need not be removed but it can then be pressed and sprayed at the next painting of the new color to the atomizer.
  • Using a high-voltage nebulizer eliminates the need to provide isolation by draining lines.
  • the required in the electrostatic coating Isolierumblen in the input and output lines can be formed in other ways than by their emptying.
  • the coating system according to FIG. 2 corresponds to that according to FIG. 1 with the exception of the piston dispenser 20, which differs from the piston dispenser 10 with respect to the piston arrangement 22 and the metering drive 26.
  • the piston assembly 22nd is formed in this embodiment by two piston elements 24 and 25, which can be moved both together and relative to each other displaceable in each case in both directions in the metering cylinder 21 and for this purpose on each of its own piston rod 23 and 23 'are fixed.
  • Each piston element 24 and 25 has its own program-controlled motor M or M ', the corresponding piston rod z. B. similar as shown in FIG. 1 can drive.
  • a preferably liquid insulating medium 28 the volume of which should change but here with each displacement of the piston elements relative to each other.
  • the insulating medium 28 may be periodically or continuously directed into or through the varying gap between the piston elements 24 and 25 under the control of a separate metering device (not shown) which compresses or disassembles the piston elements and its volume will be in accordance with FIG Increase and reduce piston movements.
  • the filling volume of the areas 1 and 2 of the metering cylinder for example, depending on the workpiece or workpiece area to be painted are set, wherein also in area 2 (unlike in Fig. 1), the reduction of the filling volume in area 1 by the volume of the piston rods 23rd , 23 'can be compensated.
  • the two piston rods 23 and 23 ' are mounted so as to be displaceable in a space-saving manner and are led out of the same at the same end face of the metering cylinder. If space is available axially on the opposite end, The two piston rods can also extend in opposite directions.
  • the process sequence of the coating system according to FIG. 2 can largely correspond to the mode of operation described with reference to FIG. 1, but important additional possibilities result from the different piston control. Particularly advantageous is the ability during the supply of the atomizer from the one area 1 or 2 with one piston element by independent movement of the other piston element accelerates the other area accelerated and to use the time gained thereby to before emptying the supplying area to empty the input line of the other area. As a result, after draining the first area without turning off the high voltage, the promotion of the coating material from the second area to the atomizer can be started immediately, so that continuous coating operation is possible and therefor unlimited paint volume is available.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 2 can be modified with regard to the location of at least two of the four input and output lines according to FIG. 3. Again, two are each driven by a metering motor and provided in each direction and relatively movable piston elements 34 and 35 are provided.
  • the inlet 2a and the outlet 2b can be located at a middle axial position of the metering cylinder 31 as shown, while the inputs and outputs 1a and 1b of the other portion of the metering cylinder either at the corresponding front end or instead, as indicated by the input la 'and the output 1b' can also be located at a central axial position of the metering cylinder 31.
  • the insulating member 38 may include an insulating liquid and be arranged stationary, but also an externally controlled variable volume arrangement of the insulating is conceivable.
  • the one of the two piston rods 33 and 33 'could also be passed under sealing by the insulating member 38 and then extend in the same direction as the other piston rod.
