Derartige Spritzpistolen zum Zerstäuben einer Farbflüssigkeit, sind in einer Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen bekannt.Liquids, in particular paints for coating and for protecting surfaces, are applied to a surface in a known manner by means of spray guns. Such spray guns for atomizing a paint liquid are known in a variety of different embodiments.
Für ein effektives homogenes Auftragen von Farbe auf einer Fläche stellt hierbei der nutzbare Bereich einer Farbstrahlgeometrie ein wichtiges Anwendungskriterium dar. Eine bevorzugte Farbstrahlgeometrie zur Flächenbearbeitung ist beispielsweise eine Flachstrahlform.For an effective homogeneous application of color to a surface, the usable range of a color jet geometry represents an important application criterion. A preferred ink jet geometry for surface treatment is, for example, a flat-jet shape.

Die hierzu erforderlichen Gehäusebauteile, sowie die luft- und farbführenden Bauteile der Spritzpistole, wie beispielsweise die Farbdüse mit Nadelventil, die Kulissenscheibe bzw. die Luftkappe mit den Luftrichtern werden üblicherweise im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt, wobei die Luftkappe mit den Luftrichtern werkstoffeinstückig hergestellt ist.The housing components required for this, as well as the air- and ink-carrying components of the spray gun, such as the paint nozzle with needle valve, the crank disk and the air cap with the air funnels are usually made by injection molding, the air cap is made in one piece with the air funnels.
Zur werkstoffeinstückigen Herstellung einer Luftkappe mit Luftrichtern sind aufwendige und kostenintensive Spritzgussformen erforderlich, um die meist hohen Anforderungen an die Formgeometrie bzw. Oberflächenbeschaffenheit derartiger Bauteile zu erfüllen.For material integral production of an air cap with air funnels complex and costly injection molds are required to meet the usually high demands on the shape geometry or surface finish of such components.
Darüber hinaus ist die Gestaltungsfreiheit, speziell im Bereich der Luftkanalführung in den Lufthörnern eingeschränkt, da zur werkstoffeinstückigen Herstellung von Spritzgussteilen mit einer aufwendigen Luftkanalführung eine ebenso aufwendig ausgebildete Spritzgussform erforderlich ist oder sogar weitere Bearbeitungsschritte wie beispielsweise Bohrvorgänge notwendig sind.In addition, the freedom of design, especially in the field of air duct guidance in the air horns limited because the material einstückigen production of injection molded parts with a complex air duct guide an equally elaborate injection mold is required or even further processing steps such as drilling operations are necessary.
Aus diesem Grunde hat sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe gestellt, die bekannten Nachteile zum Stand der Technik zu vermeiden und die Herstellung einer Luftkappe mit Luftrichtern flexibel und effizient weiterzubilden.For this reason, the invention has the task of avoiding the known disadvantages of the prior art and to further develop the production of an air cap with air funnels flexible and efficient.
Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist die Erfindung durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gekennzeichnet.To solve the problem, the invention is characterized by the features of
Die Erfindung geht von einer Luftkappe für die Erzeugung eines Luftstroms mit einer zerstäubten Flüssigkeit aus, wobei die Flüssigkeit über eine Flüssigkeitsdüse, vorzugsweise mit Nadelventil im Bereich einer Luftaustrittsöffnung der Luftkappe zerstäubt wird und die Luftkappe mindestens eine Luftaustrittsöffnung umfasst, die mit mindestens einemThe invention is based on an air cap for generating an air flow with an atomized liquid, wherein the Liquid is atomized via a liquid nozzle, preferably with needle valve in the region of an air outlet opening of the air cap and the air cap comprises at least one air outlet opening, which is provided with at least one
nachgeschalteten Luftrichter in Verbindung steht und einen gerichteten Luftstrahl ausbildet.downstream air funnel is in communication and forms a directed air jet.
Der austretende, zerstäubte Flüssigkeitsstrahl ist durch einen aus dem Luftrichter austretenden Luftstrahl in seiner Form veränderbar.The exiting, atomized liquid jet is changeable in its shape by an air jet emerging from the air funnel.
Der Kern der Erfindung liegt darin, dass der Luftrichter als separates Element hergestellt, insbesondere ausgeformt ist und mit der Luftkappe verbindbar ist.The essence of the invention is that the air funnel is manufactured as a separate element, in particular formed and can be connected to the air cap.
Dies hat den Vorteil, dass eine zur Ausformung eines separaten Luftrichters erforderliche Spritzgussform eine einfachere Geometrie aufweisen kann, insbesondere für im Bauteil liegende Raumgeometrien, wie beispielsweise ein Luftkanal.This has the advantage that an injection mold required for forming a separate air funnel can have a simpler geometry, in particular for spatial geometries lying in the component, such as, for example, an air duct.
Zusätzlich ist es von Vorteil, dass der Luftrichter als separat hergestelltes Element in einfacher Art und Weise austauschbar ist, ohne dass Veränderungen an der Luftkappe vorgenommen werden müssen.In addition, it is advantageous that the air funnel is exchangeable as a separately manufactured element in a simple manner without changes to the air cap must be made.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Luftrichter mittels einem Verbindungsmittel, beispielsweise einer Schiebeführung auf der Oberfläche der Luftkappe anbringbar ist.In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the air hopper by means of a connecting means, for example a sliding guide on the surface of the air cap can be attached.
Derartige Verbindungselemente, beispielsweise Schwalbenschwanzführungen oder Nut-Feder Hintergreifstrukturen lassen sich insbesondere im Spritzgussverfahren einfach ausformen.Such connecting elements, for example dovetail guides or tongue-and-groove undercut structures, can be shaped in a simple manner, in particular by injection molding.
In einer überdies bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Luftrichter durch eine Öffnung in der Luftkappe hindurch einschiebbar ist.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the air horn through an opening in the Air cap is inserted therethrough.
Dies hat den Vorteil, dass das Verbindungselement am Luftrichter und an der Luftkappe in einer konstruktiv einfachen Art und Weise ausgebildet werden kann, beispielsweise mit einem umlaufenden, konischen Kragenbund, der auf der Rückseite der Luftkappe anliegt. Darüber hinaus ist in einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass das Verbindungsmittel des Luftrichters eine formschlüssige, vorzugsweise rastende Verbindung mit der Luftkappe ausbildet.This has the advantage that the connecting element can be formed on the air horn and on the air cap in a structurally simple manner, for example with a circumferential, conical collar collar which rests on the back of the air cap. In addition, it is provided in a further embodiment of the invention that the connecting means of the air funnel forms a positive, preferably latching connection with the air cap.
Eine formschlüssige, vorzugsweise rastende Verbindung des Luftrichters mit der Luftkappe hat den Vorteil, dass der Luftrichter auf der Oberfläche der Luftkappe derart fixierbar ist, dass eine unerwünschte Verschiebung oder ein Verlust des Luftrichters im Betrieb der Farbspritzpistole vermieden wird.A positive, preferably latching connection of the air horn with the air cap has the advantage that the air horn on the surface of the air cap can be fixed in such a way that an undesirable displacement or loss of the air horn during operation of the paint spray gun is avoided.
Überdies ist in einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass der Luftrichter wenigstens einen Luftkanal aufweist.Moreover, in a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the air funnel has at least one air channel.
Die Ausformung eines Luftrichters mit einem Luftkanal hat den Vorteil, dass beispielsweise der zur Formung eines Farbflachstrahls auftreffende Luftstrom beispielsweise im Vergleich zu einer Ablenkplatte eine verminderte Streuung ausbildet, wodurch eine präzise Ausrichtung des Luftstroms auf den Farbstrahl und die daraus resultierende Farbstrahlformung ermöglicht wird.The formation of an air funnel with an air duct has the advantage that, for example, the air flow impinging on the formation of a color flat jet forms a reduced scatter, for example, as a result of which a precise alignment of the air flow on the color jet and the resulting ink jet forming is made possible.
Weiterhin ist in einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass das Verbindungsmittel des Luftrichters eine Kodierung ausbildet.Furthermore, it is provided in a preferred embodiment of the invention that the connecting means of the air funnel forms a coding.
Je nach Ausbildung des Verbindungsmittels mit Bezug auf die Form, kann eine zugehörige Aufnahme in der Luftkappe derart angepasst sein, dass diese ausschließlich ein zugehöriges, auf die Aufnahme kodiertes Verbindungselement und somit einen definierten Luftrichter aufnehmen kann.Depending on the design of the connection means with respect to the form, an associated receptacle in the air cap can be adapted such that it has only one associated, coded on the recording connection element and thus a can record defined air funnel.
Dadurch wird ein unerwünschtes Verwechseln von unterschiedlich ausgebildeten Luftrichtern auf einer Luftkappe, beispielsweise bei der Anbringung durch den Endverbraucher, vermieden.As a result, an undesirable confusion of differently shaped air funnels on an air cap, for example when attached by the end user, is avoided.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Luftrichter als faltbaresIn a further preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the air horn as foldable
Spritzgusselement ausgebildet ist, dessen einzelne Formhälften mittels einem Filmscharnier miteinander verbunden sind.Injection molded element is formed, the individual mold halves are connected to each other by means of a film hinge.
Die Ausformung eines Luftrichters mit einzelnen Formhälften hat den Vorteil, dass die spritzgusstechnische Herstellung eines derartigen Luftrichters wesentlich vereinfacht werden kann. Beispielsweise wird ein Luftkanalverlauf im Luftrichter von seiner räumlichen Anordnung in dem zusammengefügten Luftrichter für ein vereinfachtes Herstellen im Spritzgussverfahren in eine Ebene verlegt.The formation of an air funnel with individual mold halves has the advantage that the production of such an air funnel by injection molding can be substantially simplified. For example, an air passageway in the air horn is displaced from its spatial arrangement in the assembled air horn into a plane for simplified manufacture by injection molding.
In einer überdies bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Luftkanal im Luftrichter eine definierte Oberflächenrauhigkeit aufweist.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the air duct in the air horn has a defined surface roughness.
So ist es beispielsweise vorteilhaft, wenn die innere Oberfläche des Luftkanals aufeinanderfolgende, halbrunde Vertiefungen aufweist (Prinzip Golfball), um die Fließeigenschaften der hindurchströmenden Luft zu verbessern.Thus, for example, it is advantageous if the inner surface of the air channel has successive, semicircular depressions (golf ball principle) in order to improve the flow properties of the air flowing through.
Überdies ist in einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass der Luftkanal im Luftrichter stetig und kantenfrei gebildet ist.Moreover, in a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the air duct in the air funnel is formed continuously and without edges.
Ein durch den Luftkanal fließender Luftstrom kann durch Kanten oder plötzlichen Richtungsänderungen Turbulenzen entwickeln, gestaut bzw. zu schwach ausgebildet werden. Dies wird durch einen entsprechenden gleichmäßigen Kanalverlauf vermieden. Darüber hinaus ist es denkbar, dass der mittels einem Filmscharnier ausgebildete Luftrichter, einstückig mit einem weiterem Filmscharnier verbunden zusammen mit der Luftkappe ausformbar ist.An air flow flowing through the air duct can develop turbulences, jam or become too weak due to edges or sudden changes in direction. This is avoided by a corresponding uniform channel profile. Moreover, it is conceivable that the formed by a film hinge air horn, integrally connected to a further film hinge is formed together with the air cap.
Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Herstellkosten zur Ausformung von zwei miteinander verbundenen Bauteilen gesenkt werden können, da lediglich eine einzige Spritzgussform für das komplette Element (Luftkappe und Luftrichter) einzusetzen ist.This has the advantage that the manufacturing costs for forming two interconnected components can be reduced, since only a single injection mold for the complete element (air cap and air horn) is to be used.
Darüber hinaus erzeugt das zwischen dem Luftrichter und der Luftkappe angeordnete Filmscharnier ein verliersicheres und verwechslungssicheres Gesamtbauteil für eine Spritzpistole aus.In addition, the arranged between the air horn and the air cap film hinge generates a captive and unmistakable overall component for a spray gun.
Zusätzlich geht die Erfindung von einem Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Luftkappe aus, welche mit mindestens einem nachgeschalteten Luftrichter in Verbindung steht und einen gerichteten geformten Luftstrahl ausbildet.In addition, the invention is based on a method for producing an air cap, which communicates with at least one downstream air funnel and forms a directed shaped air jet.
Kern dieses Verfahrens ist, dass mindestens ein Luftrichter als separates Element ausgeformt und auf der Oberfläche einer Luftkappe mittels eines Verbindungsmittels angeordnet wird.The essence of this method is that at least one air horn is formed as a separate element and placed on the surface of an air cap by means of a connecting means.
In einer weiteren, bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens ist vorgesehen, dass der Luftrichter einstückig mit der Luftkappe hergestellt wird.In a further, preferred embodiment of the method, it is provided that the air funnel is produced in one piece with the air cap.
Darüber hinaus ist es in einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens vorgesehen, dass der Luftrichter und/oder die Luftkappe im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt ist.Moreover, it is provided in a further preferred embodiment of the method that the air horn and / or the air cap is made by injection molding.
Die Ausformung eines Luftrichters und/oder einer Luftkappe im Spritzgussverfahren hat den Vorteil, das derartige Elemente mit einer komplexen Formgebung in einem einzigen Arbeitsschritt effizient herstellbar sind.The formation of an air horn and / or an air cap by injection molding has the advantage that such elements can be produced efficiently with a complex shape in a single step.
