Description

Deckel für Mischbehälter von Farbspritzpistolen Lid for mixing containers of paint spray guns
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Deckel für einen verschließbaren Mischbehälter für eine Farbspritzpistole, wobei der Deckel mit einer Belüftungsöffnung versehen ist.The invention relates to a lid for a closable mixing container for a paint spray gun, wherein the lid is provided with a ventilation opening.
Ein als Einwegdeckel ausgebildeter Deckel für einen verschließbaren Mischbehälter für eine Farbspritzpistole ist bekannt (DE 298 25 119 U1 ) Er wird auf den offenen Mischbehälter aufgesetzt, der in seinem Boden ein Luftloch hat und mit einer in den Behälter passenden Einwegeinlage versehen ist. Der Einweckdeckel wird in das offene Ende der Einwegeinlage eingedrückt und seine Mittelöffnung ist mit einem Verbindungsrohr mit Bajonettverbindung verbunden.A lid designed as a disposable lid for a closable mixing container for a paint spray gun is known (DE 298 25 119 U1). It is placed on the open mixing container, which has an air hole in its bottom and is provided with a disposable insert which fits into the container. The disposable lid is pressed into the open end of the disposable insert and its central opening is connected to a connecting tube with a bayonet connection.
Ein weiterer Deckel für einen verschließbaren Mischbehälter für eine Farbspritzpistole ist bekannt (DE 10 2004 007 733 A1 ), welcher einen Anschlussteil aufweist, um einen Fließbecher auf eine Farbspritzpistole oder einen Adapter aufzusetzen, wobei der Behälter eine mittels eines Ventils verschließbare Belüftungsöffnung aufweist.Another cover for a closable mixing container for a paint spray gun is known (DE 10 2004 007 733 A1), which has a connection part to set up a flow cup on a paint spray gun or an adapter, wherein the container has a closable by means of a valve ventilation opening.
Bis zum heutigen Tage ist es gängige Praxis, nach erfolgter Benutzung einer Lackierpistole, diese und den Becher aufwändig mit Lösemitteln (Chlorkohlenwasserstoffe) zu reinigen bzw. abzuspülen. Dadurch fallen viele Millionen Liter verunreinigter Lösemittel (Reinigungsverdünnungen) an. Da der Farbbecher die größten mit Farbe benetzen Flächen hat, entfällt ca. 90% des Reinigungsverdün- nungsaufwandes auf den Becher.To this day, it is common practice, after using a paint spray, this and the cup consuming with solvents (chlorinated hydrocarbons) to clean or rinse. This causes many millions of liters contaminated solvent (cleaning dilutions). Since the paint cup has the largest surfaces wetted with ink, about 90% of the cleaning dilution effort is accounted for by the cup.
Es gibt ein sog. Tütensystem. Hierbei wird ein Becher mit sehr dünner Wandung (ähnlich einer Tüte) in einen Mehrwegbecher gesteckt. Danach wird ein Deckel auf dieses System geschraubt und anschließend kopfüber mit der Pistole verbunden. Beim Lackieren entsteht nun ein Unterdruck in der "Tüte" und dieser zieht diese zusammen. Dieses System hat zwei entscheidende Nachteile. Erstens benötigt man einen zusätzlichen Mischbecher, um die verschiedenen Lackkomponenten zusammen zu mischen. Hierdurch entstehen weitere Kosten und es müssen 2 Becher entsorgt bzw. recycelt werden. Zweitens verändert sich das Spritzbild der Lackierpistole durch den Unterdruck, der in der "Tüte" entsteht. Das heißt, je mehr sich die "Tüte" zusammenzieht, desto weniger Farbe kommt aus der Pistole.There is a so-called bag system. Here, a cup with a very thin wall (similar to a bag) is inserted into a reusable cup. Then a lid is screwed onto this system and then connected head-on with the gun. When painting now creates a negative pressure in the "bag" and this pulls together. This system has two major disadvantages. First, you need an additional mixing cup to mix the different paint components together. This results in additional costs and it must be disposed of 2 cups or recycled. Second, the spray pattern of the spray gun changes due to the negative pressure created in the "bag". That is, the more the "bag" contracts, the less color comes from the gun.
Weiterhin wird ein Mischbechersystem praktiziert:, bei dem ein spezieller Farb- mischbecher als Basis dient, in dem die Farbkomponenten gemischt werden. Dieser Farbmischbecher wird mit einem Deckel versehen, kopfüber gedreht und mit der Lackierpistole verbunden. Beim Lackieren entsteht nun ein Unterdruck im Becher. Dieser verhindert, dass die Farbe homogen zur Pistole fließt und daher ist ein manuelles Ventil am Becherboden angeordnet. Dieses Ventil muss der Lackierer entweder öffnen (wenn er lackieren will) oder schließen (wenn er den Becher zurück auf seinen Boden stellt). Dies wird oft vergessen entweder Lack aus dem Becher läuft oder die Lackierpistole zu stottern anfängt. Die, so dass Produktionskosten sind bei diesem System sehr hoch.Furthermore, a mixing cup system is practiced: in which a special color mixing cup serves as the basis in which the color components are mixed. This paint mixing cup is provided with a lid, turned upside down and connected to the paint spray gun. When painting now creates a negative pressure in the cup. This prevents the paint from flowing homogeneously to the gun and therefore a manual valve is located on the bottom of the cup. This valve must either be opened by the painter (if he wants to paint) or closed (if he puts the beaker back on his floor). This is often forgotten either paint runs out of the cup or the paint sprayer begins to stutter. The, so production costs are very high in this system.
Hier nun soll die vorliegende Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen und diese soll folgende Kriterien erfüllen:Here now, the present invention is intended to remedy this and should meet the following criteria:
- Sie muss günstig in der Herstellung der erforderlichen Teile sein.- It must be favorable in the manufacture of the required parts.
- Sie darf kein manuelles Ventil benötigen. - Sie muss auf vorhandene Mischbechersysteme anwendbar sein.- It must not require a manual valve. - It must be applicable to existing mixing cup systems.
- Sie darf nicht von einem Unterdruck abhängig sein, der das Spritzbild verändert.- It must not be dependent on a negative pressure that changes the spray pattern.
Erreicht wird dies durch die vorliegende Erfindung gemäß dem Patentanspruch, nämlich durch einen Deckel für einen verschließbaren Mischbehälter für eine Farbspritzpistole, wobei der Deckel mit einer Belüftungsöffnung versehen ist, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass die Belüftungsöffnung als Labyrinthdichtung mit drei ineinander gesteckten den Durchgang von Luft zulassenden Zylindern ausgebildet ist.This is achieved by the present invention according to the claim, namely by a lid for a closable mixing container for a paint spray gun, wherein the lid is provided with a ventilation opening, which is characterized in that the ventilation opening as a labyrinth seal with three nested the passage of air permitting cylinders is formed.
Bei bevorzugten Ausführungsformen sind an mindestens einer der einander benachbarten Mantelflächen der zusammengesteckten Zylinder Nuten oder Rinnen ausgebildet, und insbesondere sind diese uten oder Rinnen in Axialrichtung der Zylinder ausgerichtet.In preferred embodiments, grooves or grooves are formed on at least one of the mutually adjacent lateral surfaces of the mated cylinder, and in particular these grooves or grooves are aligned in the axial direction of the cylinder.
Im Einzelnen: Der Deckel wird einfach auf vorhandene Mischbechersysteme gekuppt. Dieser Deckel hat ein Belüftungssystem, welches sehr einfach in der Produktion ist, aber großen Nutzen in der täglichen Anwendung hat. Der Lackierer braucht sich keine Gedanken über geschlossene oder geöffnete Ventile zu machen. Nachdem der Mischbecher mit dem Deckel versehen wurde, wird auch dieser kopfüber umgedreht und auf die Lackierpistole gesteckt. Über einen speziellen Belüftungskanal gelangt nun der atmosphärische Druck in den Becker. Die Besonderheit dabei ist, dass keine Farbe beim "Umdrehvorgang" aus dem Belüftungskanal austreten kann. Hierzu wurde eine neuartige Kanalgeometrie ersonnen, die im Wesentlichen wie eine Labyrinthdichtung wirkt.In detail: The lid is simply glued on existing Mischbechersysteme. This lid has a ventilation system that is very easy to use but has great utility in daily use. The painter need not worry about closed or opened valves. After the mixing cup has been provided with the lid, this is turned upside down and put on the paint spray gun. The atmospheric pressure now reaches the Becker via a special ventilation duct. The special feature is that no color can escape from the ventilation channel during the "turning process". For this purpose, a novel channel geometry was devised, which acts essentially like a labyrinth seal.
Zylindrische Labyrinthdichtungen in Belüftungsöffnungen sind an sich bekannt, jedoch nicht im Zusammenhang mit für Farbspritzpistolen vorgesehene Mischbehälter-Deckel. So sind Labyrinthdichtungen an einem Entlüftungsschlitz eines spritzwasser- und explosionssicheren Entlüfters für Getriebe bekannt (DD 73 432 A). Weiterhin gibt es einen Benzintankverschluss (DD 6851 A), der mittels eines Querstückes an dem Tankeinfüllstutzen befestigt wird und der der Außenluft über eine Labyrinthdichtung den Eintritt in den Tank gestattet.Cylindrical labyrinth seals in vents are known per se, but not in connection with intended for spray guns mixing container lid. So labyrinth seals on a vent slot of a splash-proof and explosion-proof vent for transmission are known (DD 73 432 A). Furthermore, there is a gasoline tank closure (DD 6851 A), by means of a Crosspiece is attached to the tank filler neck and the outside air via a labyrinth seal allows the entry into the tank.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnungen beispielsweise erläutert.The invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings, for example.
Figur 1 der Zeichnung zeigt eine Querschnittsansicht durch einen Deckel für einen Mischbecher von Farbspritzpistolen.Figure 1 of the drawing shows a cross-sectional view through a lid for a mixing cup of paint spray guns.
Figur 2 zeigt Einzelheiten der LabyrinthdichtungFigure 2 shows details of the labyrinth seal
Mit 10 ist der im Wesentlichen kegelförmige Deckel bezeichnet. Es handelt sich um einen rotationssymmetrischen Teil. Im Randbereich sind die Teile zu erkennen, die auf den nicht gezeigten Mischbecher aufgesetzt werden. Mit 9 ist derjenige Teil bezeichnet, der mit der Farbspritzpistole verbunden werden kann.With 10 of the substantially conical lid is designated. It is a rotationally symmetric part. In the edge region, the parts can be seen, which are placed on the mixing cup, not shown. With 9 that part is designated, which can be connected to the paint spray gun.
Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung ist am Deckel 10 eine in den Innenraum des Mischbechers gehende Doppelzylinderanordnung gezeigt. Es ist ein äußerer Zylinder 11 vorgesehen, der mit dem Deckel einstückig ausgebildet ist. Im Inneren dieses größeren Zylinders 11 befindet sich ein kleinerer Zylinder 12, der ebenfalls mit dem Deckel 10 einstückig ausgebildet ist. Der Innenzylinder 12 ist nach oben hin geöffnet.In the present invention, a double cylinder arrangement going into the interior of the mixing cup is shown on the lid 10. It is an outer cylinder 11 is provided, which is integrally formed with the lid. Inside this larger cylinder 11 is a smaller cylinder 12, which is also formed integrally with the cover 10. The inner cylinder 12 is open at the top.
Am unteren Ende der beiden Zylinder 11 und 12 ist ein Steckteil 13 angeordnet, der einen nach oben stehenden zylindrischen Teil 14 aufweist. Dieser Teil 14 erreicht nicht die gleiche axiale Länge, wie die Zylinder 11 und 12. Er ist in seiner Wanddicke so dimensioniert worden, dass er in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Zylindern 11 und 12 mit etwas Spiel eingeführt werden kann. Der Zylinderteil 14 ist mit einem Deckelteil 13 ausgebildet, der den Innenraum des Zylinders 12 nach unten hin abschließt, jedoch nicht vollständig. Luft könnte über den Innenzylinder 12 am unteren Ende dieses Zylinders 12 in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Zylindern 11 und 12 gelangen, also dort, wo sich der Zylinder 14 befindet. Luft, die nun von unten her nach oben, bei Blickrichtung der Figur, den Zylinder 14 passiert hat, kann nun wiederum nach unten austreten, und da der Deckel 13 so ausgebildet ist, dass wiederum am unteren Ende Luft in den Innenraum 20 des nicht gezeigten Mischbechers gelangen kann, ist also eine Luftverbindung vom Außenraum des Mischbechers bzw. Deckels 10 in den Innenraum 20 des Mischbechers gegeben. Dieser Luftübergang ist ohne weiteres möglich, sofern die einzelnen Abmessungen hinreichend gering dimensioniert worden sind. Farbflüssigkeit jedoch, die sich im Innenraum 20 befindet, kann diesen Weg nach außen nicht zurücklegen. Einerseits, weil im Betrieb ein entsprechender Unterdruck vorhanden ist und andererseits weil die Viskosität der Flüssigkeit diesen Weg nicht zulässt. Höchstens ein gewisses kleines Stück könnte Flüssigkeit in den Zwischenraum zwischen den äußeren Zylinder 11 und dem Außenraum des Zylinders 14 gelangen, was jedoch von untergeordneter Bedeutung ist.At the lower end of the two cylinders 11 and 12, a plug-in part 13 is arranged, which has an upstanding cylindrical portion 14. This part 14 does not reach the same axial length as the cylinders 11 and 12. It has been dimensioned in its wall thickness so that it can be inserted into the space between the cylinders 11 and 12 with some play. The cylinder part 14 is formed with a cover part 13, which closes the interior of the cylinder 12 downwards, but not completely. Air could pass over the inner cylinder 12 at the lower end of this cylinder 12 in the space between the cylinders 11 and 12, ie where the cylinder 14 is located. Air, which has now passed from below upwards, in view of the figure, the cylinder 14, can now turn down again, and since the lid 13 is formed so that in turn at the lower end of air into the interior 20th of the mixing cup, not shown, is thus given an air connection from the outside of the mixing cup or lid 10 in the interior 20 of the mixing cup. This air transition is readily possible, provided that the individual dimensions have been dimensioned sufficiently small. However, color liquid, which is located in the interior 20, can not cover this way to the outside. On the one hand, because in operation a corresponding negative pressure is present and on the other hand because the viscosity of the liquid does not allow this way. At most a certain small piece of liquid could get into the space between the outer cylinder 11 and the outer space of the cylinder 14, which is of minor importance.
Die Strömungsverhältnisse sind am besten aus der Figur 2 zu erkennen, wobei es sich hier um eine schematische Darstellung handelt, nicht jedoch um die Wiedergabe der tatsächlichen Verhältnisse.The flow conditions are best seen in Figure 2, which is a schematic representation, but not to the representation of the actual conditions.
An mindestens einer der einander benachbarten Mantelflächen der zusammengesetzten Zylinder können Nuten oder Rinnen ausgebildet sein und insbesondere können die Nuten oder Rinnen in Axialrichtung der Zylinder ausgerichtet sein. Grooves or grooves may be formed on at least one of the mutually adjacent lateral surfaces of the assembled cylinders and, in particular, the grooves or grooves may be aligned in the axial direction of the cylinders.
