Description

FLIESSBECHER MTI LÜFTUNG FÜR EINE FARBSPRITZPISTOLE FLOWING MUG MTI VENTILATION FOR A SPRAY GUN
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Fließbecher für eine Farbspritzpistole nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a flow cup for a paint spray gun according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ein solcher Fließbecher ist aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, beispielsweise aus der WO 98/32539. Dieser Fließbecher ist für den einmaligen Gebrauch vorgesehen und umfasst einen Behälter aus Kunststoff und einen darauf aufsetzbaren Deckel zum Verschließen des Behälters. An der Deckeloberseite sind Anschlussmittel zum Aufsetzen und Befestigen des Fließbechers auf eine Farbspritzpistole oder einem auf dieser befestigten Adapter vorgesehen. Der Fließbecher wird hierbei "upside- down", also mit der Deckelseite nach unten auf die Farbspritzpistole aufgesetzt. Die in dem Fließbecher befindliche Farbe fließt dann aufgrund der Schwerkraft nach unten in den Farbeinlaufkanal der Farbspritzpistole. Um den schwerkraftgetriebenen Fluss der Farbe zu ermöglichen, ist ein Druckausgleich zwischen dem Innern des Farbbechers und der Umgebung erforderlich. Um diesen Druckausgleich zu gewährleisten, ist im Behälterboden eine Belüftungsöffnung eingebracht, welche mittels eines Klebstreifens oder eines manuell betätigbaren Ventils verschließbar ist.Such a flow cup is known from the prior art, for example from WO 98/32539. This flow cup is intended for single use and comprises a plastic container and a lid that can be placed on it to close the container. On the top of the cover, connection means for placing and attaching the flow cup to a paint spray gun or an adapter fastened thereon are provided. The gravity cup is placed "upside-down" on the paint spray gun with the lid side down. The paint in the flow cup then flows downward into the paint inlet channel of the paint spray gun due to gravity. In order to allow the gravity-driven flow of paint, a pressure equalization between the interior of the paint cup and the environment is required. To ensure this pressure equalization, a ventilation opening is made in the bottom of the container, which can be closed by means of an adhesive strip or a manually operable valve.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Fließbecher mit einem leicht manuell zu betätigenden Ventil zum Verschließen der Belüftungsöffnung bereitzustellen.Based on this prior art, the object of the invention is to provide a flow cup with an easily manually operated valve for closing the ventilation opening.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit einem Fließbecher mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsbeispiele dieses Fließbechers sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.This object is achieved with a flow cup with the features of claim 1. Advantageous exemplary embodiments of this flow cup can be found in the subclaims.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend unter Bezugnahme auf die begleitenden Zeichnungen anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Die Zeichnungen zeigen:The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings using an exemplary embodiment. The drawings show:

Der in Figur 1 dargestellte Fließbecher umfasst einen becherförmigen Behälter 1 und einen darauf über ein Gewinde aufschraubbaren Deckel 2. Der Deckel 2 weist an seiner Oberseite einen Auslassstutzen mit einer Auslassöffnung auf. An der Außenseite des Auslassstutzens ist ein Anschlussteil 3 angeformt, welches zum Aufsetzen und zum Befestigen des Fließbechers auf eine Farbspritzpistole oder auf einem zwischen der Farbspritzpistole und dem Fließbecher angeordneten Adapter dient. Bei dem in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel umfasst das Anschlussteil 3 ein Gewinde und eine keilförmige Nut, welche mit korrespondierenden Anschlussteilen an der Farbspritzpistole, nämlich einem entsprechende Innengewinde und einem Zapfen zum Eingreifen in die Nut, zusammenwirken. Sowohl der Behälter 1 als auch der Deckel 2 sind zweckmäßig als Spritzgussteile aus Kunststoff gefertigt.The flow cup shown in FIG. 1 comprises a cup-shaped container 1 and a cover 2 which can be screwed onto it by means of a thread. The cover 2 has on its top side an outlet connection with an outlet opening. A connection part 3 is formed on the outside of the outlet connection piece and is used to place and fasten the flow cup on a paint spray gun or on an adapter arranged between the paint spray gun and the flow cup. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the connection part 3 comprises a thread and a wedge-shaped groove which cooperate with corresponding connection parts on the paint spray gun, namely a corresponding internal thread and a pin for engaging in the groove. Both the container 1 and the lid 2 are expediently made of plastic as injection molded parts.
Zum Befüllen des Behälters 1 wird der Deckel 2 abgenommen und nach dem Befüllen wieder aufgesetzt. Anschließend kann der Deckel 2 mit seinem Anschlussteil 3 auf das Anschlussteil einer Farbspritzpistole oder einem Adapter aufgesetzt und befestigt werden. Beim Spritzvorgang befindet sich der Fließbecher an der Oberseite der Farbspritzpistole und die in dem Behälter befindliche Flüssigkeit läuft aufgrund der Schwerkraft in den Farbeinlasskanal der Farbspritzpistole.To fill the container 1, the lid 2 is removed and put back on after filling. Subsequently, the cover 2 with its connecting part 3 can be placed and fastened on the connecting part of a paint spray gun or an adapter. During the spraying process, the flow cup is located on the top of the paint spray gun and the liquid in the container runs into the paint inlet channel of the paint spray gun due to gravity.
Um den schwerkraftgetriebenen Fluss der Flüssigkeit aufrechtzuerhalten ist ein Druckausgleich zwischen dem Inneren des Behälters 1 und der Umgebung erforderlich. Aus diesem Grunde ist in einer Wandung 4 des Behälters 1 eine Belüftungsöffnung 6 vorgesehen. Bei dem in den Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Belüftungsöffnung 6 im Behälterboden. Alternativ hierzu kann die Belüftungsöffnung 6 jedoch auch in der Seitenwand des Behälters 1 eingebracht werden, bevorzugt in der Nähe des Bodens. Zum Verschließen der Belüftungsöffnung 6 ist ein Ventil 5 vorgesehen, welches an der Unterseite des Behälterbodens angeordnet ist. An der Unterseite des Behälterbodens ist des weiteren eine zylindrische Krempe 16 angeformt, welche über dem Ventil 5 vorsteht, um den Behälter 1 zum Befüllen auf dem Boden abstellen zu können.In order to maintain the gravity-driven flow of the liquid, a pressure equalization between the interior of the container 1 and the environment is required. For this reason, a ventilation opening 6 is provided in a wall 4 of the container 1. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the ventilation opening 6 is in the bottom of the container. As an alternative to this, however, the ventilation opening 6 can also be made in the side wall of the container 1, preferably in the vicinity of the bottom. To close the ventilation opening 6, a valve 5 is provided, which is arranged on the underside of the container bottom. On the underside of the container bottom there is also one formed cylindrical brim 16, which protrudes above the valve 5 in order to be able to place the container 1 on the floor for filling.
Das Ventil 5 ist in den Figuren 2 bis 4 näher dargestellt. Es ist als Schieberventil ausgebildet und weist ein an der Wandung 4 angeordnetes Ventilgehäuse 7 und einen Schieber 8 auf. Der Schieber 8 ist bezüglich des Ventilgehäuses 7 verschiebbar. Das Ventilgehäuse 7 ist einstückig an der Wandung 4 im Bereich der Belüftungsöffnung 6 angeformt, wie aus der Darstellung der Figur 1 ersichtlich. Der Schieber 8 ist innerhalb des Ventilgehäuses 7 entlang einer Verschieberichtung V verschiebbar, welche im wesentlichen parallel zu der Wandung 4 des Behälters 1 liegt, in der die Belüftungsöffnung 6 angeordnet ist. Unter „parallel" wird hierbei verstanden, dass die Verschieberichtung V exakt oder zumindest annähernd parallel zu der ebenen Wandung 4 verläuft, oder, wenn es sich bei der Wandung 4 um eine gekrümmte Oberfläche handelt (beispielsweise dem Zylindermantel des becherförmigen Behälters 1), dass die Verschieberichtung V zumindest annähernd die gleiche Krümmung aufweist wie die gekrümmte Wandung 4.The valve 5 is shown in more detail in FIGS. 2 to 4. It is designed as a slide valve and has a valve housing 7 arranged on the wall 4 and a slide 8. The slide 8 is displaceable with respect to the valve housing 7. The valve housing 7 is integrally formed on the wall 4 in the area of the ventilation opening 6, as can be seen from the illustration in FIG. 1. The slide 8 is displaceable within the valve housing 7 along a displacement direction V, which is essentially parallel to the wall 4 of the container 1, in which the ventilation opening 6 is arranged. “Parallel” is understood here to mean that the direction of displacement V runs exactly or at least approximately parallel to the flat wall 4, or, if the wall 4 is a curved surface (for example the cylinder jacket of the cup-shaped container 1), that the The direction of displacement V has at least approximately the same curvature as the curved wall 4.
In dem Ventilgehäuse 7 ist, wie beispielsweise aus Figur 2b ersichtlich, ein Belüftungskanal 9 ausgebildet, mit einer ersten Bohrung 9a, welche in die Belüftungsöffnung 6 mündet und einer zweiten Bohrung 9b, welche unter einem rechten Winkel in die erste Bohrung 9a mündet. Die zweite Bohrung 9b erweitert sich in zwei Stufen von einem geringeren Bohrungsdurchmesser auf etwa den doppelten Bohrungsdurchmesser. Die zweite Bohrung 9b mündet schließlich in einen quaderförmigen und nach vorne, also zur Außenseite des Behälters 1 hin offenen Raum 9d (Figur 4). Der Raum 9d bildet eine Einschuböffnung zum Einschieben des Schiebers 8 in das Ventilgehäuse 7.In the valve housing 7, as can be seen, for example, from FIG. 2b, a ventilation duct 9 is formed, with a first bore 9a, which opens into the ventilation opening 6 and a second bore 9b, which opens into the first bore 9a at a right angle. The second bore 9b widens in two stages from a smaller bore diameter to approximately twice the bore diameter. The second bore 9b finally opens into a cuboid-shaped space 9d that is open towards the front, that is to say toward the outside of the container 1 (FIG. 4). The space 9d forms an insertion opening for inserting the slide 8 into the valve housing 7.
Der in Figur 4 näher dargestellte Schieber 8 weist ein Kopfteil 14 sowie einen daran einstückig angeformten quaderförmigen Kolben 15 auf. An dem dem Kopfteil 14 abgewandten Ende des Kolbens 15 ist an diesem ein Zapfen 10 angeformt. An seiner Oberseite und seiner Unterseite weist der Kolben 15 eine sich entlang seiner gesamten Länge erstreckende nutförmige Ausnehmung 9c auf (Figur 3c und Figur 4). Am Kopfteil 14 sind seitlich keilförmige Anschlagelemente 11, 12 angeformt (Figur 4).The slide 8 shown in more detail in FIG. 4 has a head part 14 and a cuboid piston 15 integrally molded thereon. At the end of the piston 15 facing away from the head part 14, a pin 10 is formed thereon. At its top and bottom, the piston 15 has a groove-shaped recess 9c extending along its entire length (FIGS. 3c and 4). Wedge-shaped stop elements 11, 12 are formed laterally on the head part 14 (FIG. 4).
Zur bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung wird der Kolben 15 des Schiebers 8 in den Raum 9d des Ventilgehäuses 7 eingeschoben. Der Schieber 8 ist dann in dem Ventilgehäuse 7 zwischen einer ersten Ventilposition und einer zweiten Ventilposition verschiebbar. In der ersten Ventilposition (Figur 3) ist der Schieber 8 so weit in das Ventilgehäuse 7 eingeschoben, dass der an der Vorderseite des Schiebers 8 angeordnete Zapfen 10 in die zweite Bohrung 9b am Ventilgehäuse 7 eingreift und diese dicht verschließt. Um einen möglichst dichten Verschluss zu gewährleisten ist der Zapfen 10 an seiner Vorderseite sphärisch abgerundet oder sich konisch verjüngend ausgebildet. In der geschlossenen Ventilposition liegt der sphärisch abgerundete Bereich des Zapfens 10 an dem ersten, sich konisch erweiternden Bereich der zweiten Bohrung 9b an, wie in Figur 3b gezeigt.For the intended use, the piston 15 of the slide 8 is pushed into the space 9d of the valve housing 7. The slide 8 is then in the valve housing 7 between a first valve position and a second valve position. In the first valve position (FIG. 3), the slide 8 is pushed so far into the valve housing 7 that the pin 10 arranged on the front of the slide 8 engages in the second bore 9b on the valve housing 7 and seals it tightly. In order to ensure the tightest possible closure, the pin 10 is spherically rounded on its front side or is conically tapered. In the closed valve position, the spherically rounded region of the pin 10 bears against the first, conically widening region of the second bore 9b, as shown in FIG. 3b.
In der zweiten Ventilposition (Figur 2) ist der Schieber 8 aus dem Ventilgehäuse 7 so weit herausgeschoben, dass die zweite Bohrung 9b frei ist. Dadurch ist ein Luftdurchlass vom Inneren des Behälters 1 durch die Belüftungsöffnung 6 in den Belüftungskanal 9 mit der ersten Bohrung 9a, der zweiten Bohrung 9b und dem Raum 9d ermöglicht. Um einen Druckausgleich zwischen dem Inneren des Behälters 1 und der Umgebung zu ermöglichen, sind an der Ober- und der Unterseite des Kolbens 15 die Ausnehmungen 9c vorgesehen. Diese Ausnehmungen 9c verlängern den durch die beiden Bohrungen 9a, 9b und den Raum 9d gebildeten Belüftungskanal 9 zur Umgebung nach außen.In the second valve position (FIG. 2), the slide 8 is pushed out of the valve housing 7 so far that the second bore 9b is free. This allows air to pass from the inside of the container 1 through the ventilation opening 6 into the ventilation channel 9 with the first bore 9a, the second bore 9b and the space 9d. In order to enable pressure equalization between the interior of the container 1 and the surroundings, the recesses 9c are provided on the top and bottom of the piston 15. These recesses 9c extend the ventilation duct 9 formed by the two bores 9a, 9b and the space 9d to the outside.
In der in Figur 2 dargestellten geöffneten Ventilposition liegen die Anschlagelemente 12 des Schiebers 8 an der Innenseite der Krempe 16 an. Auf diese Weise wird verhindert, dass der Schieber 8 unbeabsichtigt aus dem Ventilgehäuse 7 rutscht und verloren geht. Zur Fixierung des Schiebers 8 in der ersten, geschlossenen Ventilposition, welche in Figur 3 gezeigt ist, sind die keilförmigen Anschlagelemente 11 vorgesehen. Diese klemmen das Kopfteil 14 des Schiebers 8 an der Innenseite 13 der Krempe 16 in der geschlossenen Ventilposition, wie in Figur 3a dargestellt. Um den Schieber 8 von der geschlossenen Ventilposition in eine geöffnete Ventilposition zu verschieben muss etwas Kraft aufgewendet werden um die Anschlagelemente 11 aus ihrer Klemmung an der Innenseite 13 der Krempe 16 zu bringen.In the open valve position shown in FIG. 2, the stop elements 12 of the slide 8 rest on the inside of the brim 16. This prevents the slide 8 from accidentally sliding out of the valve housing 7 and being lost. To fix the slide 8 in the first, closed valve position, which is shown in FIG. 3, the wedge-shaped stop elements 11 are provided. These clamp the head part 14 of the slide 8 on the inside 13 of the brim 16 in the closed valve position, as shown in FIG. 3a. In order to move the slide 8 from the closed valve position into an open valve position, some force must be applied to bring the stop elements 11 out of their clamping on the inside 13 of the brim 16.
In der geöffneten Ventilposition ragt das Kopfteil 14 des Schiebers 8 über den Außenumfang des Behälters 1 im Bereich der Krempe hervor, wie in Figur 1 gezeigt. Hierdurch sieht der Benutzer, dass sich das Ventil 5 in der geöffneten Stellung befindet, wodurch vermieden werden kann, dass der Benutzer unbeabsichtigt bei geöffnetem Ventil Flüssigkeit in den auf dem Boden stehenden Behälter 1 füllt. In der geschlossenen Ventilposition schließt die äußere Stirnfläche des Kopfteils 14 bündig mit dem Außenumfang des Behälters 1 bzw. der Krempe 16 ab. Die innere Stirnfläche des Kopfteils 14 liegt in dieser Ventilposition an der die Einschuböffnung umgebenden Stirnkante 17 des Ventilgehäuses 7 an (Figur 3a).In the open valve position, the head part 14 of the slide 8 protrudes beyond the outer circumference of the container 1 in the region of the brim, as shown in FIG. 1. As a result, the user sees that the valve 5 is in the open position, whereby it can be avoided that the user inadvertently fills liquid into the container 1 standing on the floor when the valve is open. In the closed valve position, the outer end face of the head part 14 closes flush with the outer circumference of the container 1 or the brim 16 from. In this valve position, the inner end face of the head part 14 lies against the end edge 17 of the valve housing 7 surrounding the insertion opening (FIG. 3a).
Das Ventil 5 zeichnet sich neben einer einfachen und leichten Handhabbarkeit auch durch eine hohe Dichtigkeit aus. Die Dichtigkeit des Ventils 5 kann noch verbessert werden, indem dieses als Doppelventil mit zwei Ventilsitzen ausgestaltet wird. Hierfür kann neben dem ersten Ventilsitz, der durch die Anlage des abgerundeten Bereichs des Zapfens 10 an dem konischen Bereich der zweiten Bohrung 9b gebildet wird, ein zweiter Ventilsitz ausgebildet wird, indem zwischen der vorderen Stirnfläche 18 des Kolbens 15 und der hinteren Wandung 19 des Raums 9d eine (hier zeichnerisch nicht dargestellte) Dichtung eingefügt wird. Der Anschlag der vorderen Stirnfläche 18 des Kolbens 15 an der hinteren Wandung 19 des Raums 9d wirkt dann als zusätzlicher Ventilsitz. In addition to simple and easy handling, the valve 5 is also distinguished by a high level of tightness. The tightness of the valve 5 can be further improved by designing it as a double valve with two valve seats. For this purpose, in addition to the first valve seat, which is formed by the abutment of the rounded region of the pin 10 on the conical region of the second bore 9b, a second valve seat can be formed by between the front end face 18 of the piston 15 and the rear wall 19 of the space 9d a seal (not shown here in the drawing) is inserted. The stop of the front end face 18 of the piston 15 on the rear wall 19 of the space 9d then acts as an additional valve seat.
