Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coating device for coating components with a coating agent, in particular for painting motor vehicle body components and / or their attachments (for example, bumpers, mirror housings, bumpers, etc.) with a paint. Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding coating method.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view through a conventional paint shop for painting automotive body components.
  • the vehicle body components to be painted are transported on a conveyor 1 at right angles to the plane through a painting booth 2, in which the vehicle body components are then painted by painting robots 3, 4 in a conventional manner.
  • the painting robots 3, 4 have a plurality of pivotable robot arms and each lead via a multi-axis robot hand axis an application device, such as a rotary atomizer, an air atomizer or a so-called airless device.
  • a disadvantage of these known application devices or application method is the non-optimal order efficiency, so that a designated as overspray part of the sprayed paint does not land on the vehicle body part to be painted and with the cabin air from the spray booth 2 must be removed. Therefore, a so-called plenum 5, is introduced from the air through a ceiling 6 of the spray booth 2 down in the direction of arrow in the paint booth 2 above the spray booth 2. The cabin air then passes with the overspray contained therein down from the spray booth 2 in a leaching below the spray booth 2 7, in which the overspray is removed again from the cabin air and is bound to water.
  • the Heilsink in the spray booth 2 at least in the range of about 0.2-0.5 m / s, in order to quickly remove the resulting during painting overspray from the spray booth 2.
  • New developments aim to replace the leaching with water against a dry separation.
  • the contaminated air is passed, for example, by whirling stone powder and sucked through filters. This process also generates large amounts of waste.
  • ATEX At phere ex plosible
  • the known application devices are also associated with high operating costs due to the paint losses and the disposal costs for disposal of the overspray due to the resulting in operation overspray.
  • a high paint application also means a high load or endangerment of the environment.
  • a rotary atomizer for atomizing a coating composition is known.
  • the rotary atomizer also has a supersonic funnel.
  • the supersonic funnel serves to provide atomized paint droplets of a uniform size.
  • a coating device for coating components with a coating agent, namely for painting motor vehicle body components and / or attachments of motor vehicles (for example bumpers, mirror housings, bumpers etc.) but also other vehicles or vehicle parts with a paint.
  • the coating device comprises at least one application device which is configured and arranged to dispense the coating agent from coating agent nozzles or coating agent openings (for example, to eject it, etc.).
  • the application device is configured and arranged to impart vibration and / or instability to the coating agent and / or coating agent radiation to produce coating agent drops or to disintegrate the coating agent and / or the coating agent radiation into drops.
  • the coating agent jets are produced in a wide variety of forms.
  • the application device may be configured and arranged to impart vibration and / or instability to the coating agent and / or at least one preferably continuous coating agent jet to produce coating agent drops or (particularly from the coating agent nozzle and / or the application device) and / or a (in particular from the coating agent nozzle and / or the application device) spent, preferably contiguous or continuous coating agent jet decay into drops.
  • the application device can therefore be preferably configured and arranged to dispense at least one in particular continuous or contiguous coating agent jet which disintegrates into droplets.
  • the contiguous coating agent jet between the application device, in particular the at least one coating agent nozzle, and the component may disintegrate or drip.
  • the application device comprises a vibration and / or instability and / or vibration generator (hereinafter referred to as vibration generator).
  • the application device may comprise a slit and / or hollow cylinder nozzle or a conical nozzle or a carrier element (e.g., a coating agent nozzle plate) comprising a plurality of coating agent nozzles (preferably in one plane).
  • the application device is configured and arranged to have one or more coating agent columns behind or upstream of the at least one coating agent nozzle.
  • the vibration generator is in particular provided to generate the vibration and / or the instability or to couple the vibration and / or instability into the coating agent and / or the coating agent jet in order to produce coating agent drops and / or the coating agent or the preferably contiguous coating agent jet to disintegrate into drops. It is possible for the coating agent and / or the coating agent jet to be exposed directly and / or indirectly to the vibration and / or the instability.
  • the application device eg, the housing of the application device, the at least one Be Anlagenungsffendüse having carrier element or other parts of the application device at least partially applied to a vibration and / or instability or coupled into it.
  • the coating of the coating agent with the vibration and / or the instability may take place before the coating agent is dispensed from and / or at the coating agent nozzle, while preferably the dropping-out can take place after the coating agent has been dispensed from the coating agent nozzle.
  • the application device is, as already mentioned, in particular configured and arranged in order to disintegrate the coating agent and / or the preferably contiguous coating jet in drops, preferably based on the so-called "Rayleigh Instability" or the so-called “Rayleigh decay ".
  • the structure, principle and / or mode of action of such droplet generation is known per se, in particular from the field of internal combustion engines, where fuel is used to form a fuel-air mixture, e.g. subjected to a vibration and can be excited to a monodisperse decay.
  • fuel is used to form a fuel-air mixture, e.g. subjected to a vibration and can be excited to a monodisperse decay.
  • the application device can produce droplets of substantially the same size (eg, substantially the same diameter) or a substantially discrete or substantially homogeneous droplet distribution.
  • the application device is capable of generating a predefined drop size and / or a predefined drop or drop size distribution.
  • the paint is sprayed due to shear forces on the bell plate edge, the air atomizer due to the kinetic energy of the air.
  • the airless principle is based on the atomization of the paint by the material pressure.
  • the paint is pressurized and atomized at a nozzle.
  • Conventional atomizers for coating motor vehicle body components thus usually produce a broad distribution of different droplet sizes. Most of these range from a few ⁇ m up to 150 ⁇ m.
  • the mean value (d50) is generally 10-40 ⁇ m. Smaller droplets are more easily carried by the cabin air into the deposit. Larger drops degrade the appearance (such as gradient, metallic effect, flop) and may even lead to surface defects (specks, craters, etc.). Drops with 20-40 ⁇ m diameter are also better electrostatically charged, as smaller or larger drops.
  • the coating device By means of the coating device according to the invention, it is possible, for example, to create a painting installation, preferably for automobile and / or motor vehicle body part series painting, which preferably works without leaching and with a reduced supply air system.
  • By targeted production of certain droplet diameter of the order efficiency can be increased, ie it is possible that no or very little overspray is generated, which also can be selectively influenced on the color, gloss, effects.
  • the coating device according to the invention it is advantageous possible that the supply air system can be dimensioned much smaller.
  • the low amount of paint to be discharged requires a smaller air exchange in the spray booth or it can be a very large amount of air in circulation (low fresh air content), whereby the heating or conditioning of the intake fresh air requires much less energy.
  • the leaching completely eliminated, but the invention is not limited to systems that have no leaching at all, but also includes systems with smaller sized leaching.
  • the application of the ATEX directive can be dispensed with. This leads to a substantial relief in terms of the selection of the components used and thus to a significant cost advantage over the conventional methods.
  • the coating device according to the invention advantageously leads to a lower (manual) cleaning requirement being required for the paint booths, conveyors, skids, disks, etc. Furthermore, lower or no amounts of air are required to discharge overspray from the paint booth and / or to mold the spray jet in the mentioned methods (eg rotary atomizers, air atomizers) and to operate the air turbine of the rotary atomizer.
  • Color matching with rotary atomizers on air templates is mainly done by the targeted change of the resulting droplet spectrum by, for example, speed change. These changes usually have a negative effect on the order efficiency, which leads to more overspray than actually being required, which can also be avoided with the coating agent device according to the invention.
  • the application device is configured and arranged to dispense coating agents, in particular a preferably coherent coating agent jet.
  • the coating agent preferably the coating agent jet, in particular the dispensed coating agent jet, may be e.g. a solid or solid cylinder jet, a flat jet, a fan beam, a layer jet, a substantially triangular jet, a hollow cone or full cone jet, a hollow cylinder jet, a coating agent sheet and / or a coating medium lamella act. It is also possible for the application device to generate a spray pattern that is substantially rectangular or pyramidal in cross section.
  • the coating agent, in particular the coating agent jet can therefore be used e.g. essentially one-dimensional as well as essentially flat.
  • the application device can be configured and arranged to dispense at least one essentially flat contiguous coating agent beam, which initially disintegrates between the coating agent nozzle or application device and the component in substantially one-dimensional, preferably contiguous coating agent jets. These one-dimensional, preferably contiguous coating agent jets can then likewise be between the coating agent nozzle or application device and component disintegrate into drops.
  • the application device may be configured and arranged to indirectly couple the vibration and / or instability to the coating agent and / or the coating agent jet, e.g. via the housing of the application device and / or via the carrier element containing the coating agent nozzle and / or via the coating agent nozzle.
  • a vibrator, oscillator, etc. are preferably externally connected to the housing of the application device and / or the carrier element containing the coating agent nozzle or attached thereto.
  • the oscillation and / or the instability propagate from the vibration generator via other parts of the application device to the coating agent and / or the coating agent jet during the indirect application. It is also possible that the applied vibration and / or instability propagates axially and / or radially along the application device.
  • the application device is configured and arranged to couple the vibration and / or instability substantially directly into the coating agent and / or the coating agent beam, for example by means of sound, ultrasound, a piezo element, direct mechanical or physical admission, eg physical contacting of the coating agent and / or the coating agent jet.
