Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spray gun for spraying paints and similar viscous media, which is pneumatically driven, consisting of a gun housing for receiving the drive, the mixing and / or the dosage causing components of the spray gun, a projecting from the gun body handle and a removably attached to the gun body reservoir for receiving the medium to be processed, wherein the housing of the spray gun has an air duct, through which the atomization causing compressed air flows to a spray nozzle.
  • A1 is a generic spray gun for atomizing liquids known.
  • a spray nozzle is arranged.
  • the grip protrudes from the sleeve.
  • a reservoir is removable on the sleeve attached.
  • the necessary for atomizing air flow is generated by means of an air turbine, which is driven by an electric motor.
  • the components that come in contact with the air stream for atomization do not have a textured surface to reduce flow resistance.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to form a spray gun in such a way that only with structural measures an increase in the air velocity and thus an increase in the delivery rate of the medium to be forwarded can be achieved.
  • the required construction work should be kept low, also the functionality should be fully guaranteed, yet a significantly higher amount of the medium with the same energy consumption but higher speed can be transported.
  • a spray gun of the aforementioned type characterized in that the acted upon by the flowing compressed air or wetted surfaces of the air duct and / or the atomizer nozzle and / or an air cap are wholly or partially provided with a structured surface by in this successively or laterally spaced depressions and / or elevations are incorporated.
  • the projected areas of the depressions and / or elevations may each be circular, rectangular, oval, elliptical, lenticular or polygonal.
  • the depressions and / or elevations can also be designed as flow-aligned, preferably overlapping flakes.
  • the depressions and / or elevations have a lateral extent of 1 to 10 mm and a maximum depth or a height of approximately 3 mm maximum.
  • spray gun is used for spraying paints and similar viscous media and consists essentially of a gun body 2 for receiving the required for the operation of the spray gun 1 components, a protruding from the gun body 2 handle 3 and a reservoir 5 for receiving the processing medium.
  • a pivotally mounted actuating lever 6 is provided, in the adjustment by means of the compressed air via a compressed air line 7 compressed air sucked from the reservoir 5 medium mixed with air from a spray nozzle 4 is ejected.
  • the reservoir 5 is screwed in the embodiment shown in an extension piece 8, which is firmly connected to the gun body 2 and in which a channel 9 is incorporated, which is connected to the reservoir 5 and an annular space 10.
  • the annular space 10 is created by a sleeve 12 into which a nozzle needle 13 is inserted.
  • the nozzle needle 11 by means of the handle 6 is adjustable to the right, so sucked by the spray gun 1 supplied compressed air to be processed medium from the reservoir 5 and through the atomizer 4, by means of a nozzle nut 11 on the Pistol housing 2 and the sleeve 12 is supported, is ejected.
  • FIGS. 4a to 11 is shown in each case in detail in each case schematically how the recesses 51 and / or the elevations 52 may be formed.
  • the indentations 51 incorporated into the inner lateral surface 22 are circular in their projected area and are regularly arranged at a lateral distance from one another.
  • the depressions 51 are attached laterally offset on the inner lateral surface 22.
  • Figure 4c adjoin the recesses 51 directly to each other, after FIG. 4d
  • the recesses 51 which are larger in diameter than in the previous embodiments, are arranged in series.
  • FIGS. 5a and 5b show sectional views of the gun body 2, so that the recesses 51 and the ridges 52 are recognizable as such.
  • the depressions 51 ' may be oval or elliptical in their projected area
  • FIG. 9 shown depressions 51 "formed as a hexagon.
  • FIG. 8 shows in the inner circumferential surface 22 at regular intervals to each other circular recesses 51 and hexagonal recesses 51 "incorporated, after FIG. 9 on the other hand circular recesses 51 and square recesses 51 '''.
  • FIG. 10 shows the arrangement of circular recesses 51 and polygonal recesses 51 ' v in the inner circumferential surface 22nd
  • the inner circumferential surface 22 of the air channel 21 of the spray gun 1 can also, as the FIG. 11 it can be seen, with elevations 52 '- and / or depressions - equipped, which are designed in the form of scales.
  • the inner lateral surface 22 is thus to a certain extent covered with a shark skin, by means of which the flow resistance of the flowing pressure gap is reduced.
