Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a paint booth designed to make repairs to elements that are hard to reach and hard to paint in conventional paint booths.
  • the paint booth object of the present invention has a movable chassis which supports a platform with vertical movement capacity in order to access areas of the element to be painted at different heights as well as horizontal movement capacity which allows to project the platform towards the element to be painted, all of that being actuated through actuation means located in the booth.
  • the booth has a configuration that incorporates a vacuum system which is the one in charge of vacuuming residual paint clouds, which are filtered in several stages by a set of retaining filters and a bed of activated charcoal, with the clean air being finally evacuated inside the booth where the element being painted is located, with health and safety conditions in accordance with labour and environmental legislation.
  • a vacuum system which is the one in charge of vacuuming residual paint clouds, which are filtered in several stages by a set of retaining filters and a bed of activated charcoal, with the clean air being finally evacuated inside the booth where the element being painted is located, with health and safety conditions in accordance with labour and environmental legislation.
  • the booth incorporates a plenum space to provide clean air placed in front of the vacuum system, in order to carry out additional air provisions if they were required.
  • paint booths known in the state of the art that allow to undertake small and medium sized paint jobs for vehicle repairs, among which the conventional oven paint booth stands out, in which the vehicle is introduced and has mobile equipment that approaches said vehicle and vacuums the contaminated air that is generated in the area, filters the paint and retains the solvents returning the clean air to the work place.
  • the present invention solves all the above mentioned disadvantages associated with conventional paint booths that do not allow undertaking small and medium repairs to elements presenting complex mobility.
  • a paint booth comprising the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from GB706600 .
  • the present invention refers to a paint booth designed for small and medium repairs to elements that are hard to paint, due to their complex mobility, in conventional paint booths, which requires their treatment in an open space with precarious conditions, with risks to the health of operators and environmental degradation among other risks. This happens frequently in the railroad industry, large machinery for civil works, mining, marine, aviation, etc.
  • the paint booth of the present invention comprises a movable chassis that supports a paint platform where the user undertakes the painting tasks, some first means that carry out the vertical movement of the platform for the user to access areas of the element to be painted at different heights.
  • the booth further comprises some second means that carry out the horizontal movement of the platform for its projection towards the element to be painted, so that it allows the user to have access to hard to reach areas in elements that cannot be introduced in a conventional paint booth.
  • the first and second means of vertical and horizontal movement respectively comprise some actuating means placed in the booth.
  • the booth comprises a vacuum system that is in charge of vacuuming the residual paint clouds generated during the painting process and that would otherwise come in contact with the air in the area where the objects to be painted are located, since the difficult accessibility of the element to be painted requires its treatment in an open space. This way, the risks associated to the operator's health and environmental degradation are eliminated.
  • the vacuum system comprises a set of retaining filters and a bed of activated charcoal that allow the filtration of the residual air in several stages, being finally evacuated inside the area where the element being painted is located, with health and safety conditions in accordance with labour and environmental legislation.
  • the booth comprises means that carry out the movement of the chassis to place the booth in front of different areas of the element to be painted.
  • These means are wheels attached to the chassis that enable its movement in any direction, wherein two of the wheels are steering wheels, with one or two of them being driving wheels, actuated by a gear motor adjacent to the wheel, as well as by a pneumatic cylinder or similar actuator that establishes the direction of the booth during the movement.
  • the booth further comprises a canvas bellows or the like in order to channel the air to be evacuated and an illumination system placed above the operator's area.
  • the paint booth comprises a movable chassis (7) that supports a paint platform (10) where the user undertakes the painting tasks.
  • the booth further comprises some first means that carry out the vertical movement of the platform (10) which in turn comprise a vertically movable compartment (8) with respect to the chassis (7) of the booth, and some actuating means of said vertically movable compartment (8).
  • the actuating means of the vertically movable compartment (8) comprise an air compressor (13) and at least one pipe that takes the compressed air from said air compressor (13) to a vertical pneumatic cylinder (1) attached on one of its sides to the chassis (7) and on the other side to the vertically movable compartment (8).
  • the booth further comprises some second means that carry out the horizontal movement of the platform (10) which comprise some actuating means of the platform (10).
  • actuating means of the platform (10) comprise an air compressor (13) and at least one pipe that takes the compressed air from said air compressor (13) to a horizontal pneumatic cylinder (18) attached on one of its sides to the vertically movable compartment (8) and on the other side to the platform (10).
  • the chassis (7) is formed by tubular profiles in which some vertical guides (19) are placed, which allow the sliding of the vertically movable compartment (8) with respect to the chassis (7).
  • the booth comprises some means that carry out the movement of the booth's chassis to place it in front of different areas of the element (23) to be painted.
  • These means are some wheels (4, 20, 21) which allow for the movement of the booth in any direction, one or two wheels (4) are steering-driving, one steering wheel (21) and two fixed wheels (20), with the steering-driving wheel/s (4) being actuated by a gear motor (22) adjacent to it/them (4), as well as by a pneumatic cylinder or actuator of other kind which establishes the direction to be followed by the steering wheels (4, 21) of the booth during the movement.
  • the air compressor (13) which provides the necessary air for the vertical (1) and horizontal (18) pneumatic cylinders as well as for the paint spray pistol (not shown), is located in a sound proof closet (11).
  • the booth comprises an access door (12) which allows the user inside the platform (10), as well as a light (15) placed over the space occupied by the platform's (10) operator, the platform (10) is refitted by windows.
  • the booth comprises a vacuum system (2) in charge of vacuuming the residual paint clouds that generated during the painting process and which comprises a set of retaining filters (16) with different effectiveness that filter the air in different stages, to be finally and definitively depurated through a bed of activated charcoal (17) being evacuated to the outside via a sound proof air outlet (9).
  • the air is evacuated with health and safety conditions in accordance with labour and environmental legislation; therefore it can be evacuated into an enclosed area where the booth is placed.
  • the air is vacuumed by a centrifugal fan (6) that has the pressure adjusted to the loss in charge to which it is subjected by the different retaining filters (16).
  • the booth further comprises a canvas bellows (14) or the like that allows channelling the air to be evacuated.
  • the booth also comprises a plenum space to provide clean air (not shown) placed in front of the vacuum system, in order to provide additional air if required.
  • the flow of clean air provided and the vacuumed air may present a horizontal direction, in accordance with the preferred embodiment shown in the Figures or a vertical direction, i.e., vacuumed by the floor of the platform (10) and provided from the ceiling, or only vacuumed by the floor of the platform (10) with no provision from the ceiling.
  • the booth comprises a flexible hose connected to the vacuum system (2) to partially or completely evacuate the air that is vacuumed to the outside of the area, in compliance with the current legislation or the characteristics of the facility.
  • the chassis (7) comprises some impact resistant pneumatic wheels (3) that dampen the impact of the booth against objects in its surroundings or against the element (23) to be painted during its movement or with sensors or photo cells that prevent said impact.
  • the booth is commanded through an electric panel (5) connected to the power network with a collector hose (not shown).
  • This collector hose keeps it stretched at ground level so that, as the booth is separated from the outlet, the hose keeps stretching and as it returns and gets closer, the hose is retrieved.
  • This collector is actuated through a retrieving spring, with a clutch gear motor or a similar device.
  • the booth may be powered by an electric power generator that is self-powered or powered by batteries.
