Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an anti-drying device to prevent the drying of fluid and semi-fluid products, pastes, gels, creams such as for example coloring products, pigments or paints, residues on delivery needles of a machine or device at least for the delivery and possibly for the automatic preparation, mixing and distribution of fluid coloring products, for example coloring liquids, paint bases, varnishes, enamels, inks or other fluid coloring substances.
  • fluid coloring products for example coloring liquids, paint bases, varnishes, enamels, inks or other fluid coloring substances.
  • Devices or machines to dispense or deliver fluid and semi-fluid products, pastes, gels, creams such as coloring products, pigments or paints are known, and are able to introduce a measured quantity of a product into a receptacle, containing, for example, a paint base to obtain the coloring product desired.
  • Such devices or delivery machines normally comprise a delivery unit, or dispensing head, by means of which a desired quantity of one or more fluid products is delivered into a receptacle, normally containing a paint base.
  • the delivery unit is typically mobile between an idle position and an operating position in which it cooperates with the container and traditionally comprises a plurality of delivery needles by means of which the lid of the container containing the paint base is perforated, and the fluid product is delivered inside it.
  • a known delivery unit is described in the European patent application EP-A-2.040.830 in the name of the Applicant.
  • the residual fluid product on the tip of the delivery needles, in contact with the air, tends to dry, usually in the period of time between one delivery step and the next, with negative effects on the performance of the delivery device or machine.
  • a conditioning device described in the European patent EP-B-1.494.959 or an anti-drying device described in the aforementioned European patent EP-2.040.830 .
  • Document US-A-2008/210774 describes an anti-drying device in accordance with the preamble of claim 1 to dampen the delivery nozzles of colorants which comprises a housing which defines a first chamber to house a reserve tank for the water and an open tray to hold a certain volume of water and in which a heating element is provided to vaporize the water. The vapor passes into a second open chamber of the tray, where the nozzles, when they are idle, are exposed to the vapor.
  • Purpose of the present invention is to achieve an anti-drying device which has even greater performance and efficiency than known anti-drying devices, which is economical, rapid, functional, without negatively influencing the functioning of other components of the associated dispensing machine.
  • the present invention is an anti-drying device in accordance with claim 1, while the dependent claims describe other characteristics of the invention or variants to the main inventive idea.
  • an anti-drying device can be used to humidify the delivery means of fluid and semi-fluid products, pastes, gels, creams such as for example coloring products, pigments or paints, of a machine at least for the delivery and possibly for the automatic preparation, mixing and distribution of at least a fluid product into a closed receptacle, for example for the delivery of a fluid coloring product into a receptacle which contains a paint base.
  • the anti-drying device of the present invention comprises a container or receptacle hermetically closed by means of a closing lid and which has an inner volume inside which there is a fluid, liquid and/or vapor, suitable to humidify possible residues of fluid product on the delivery means.
  • the closing lid is configured both to confine the liquid and/or the vapor inside the container and also to introduce and house, through at least one of its portions, at least the ends of the delivery means inside the closed container, so that they are in contact with the liquid and/or vapor so as to prevent the drying thereof.
  • the delivery machine of the fluid product When the delivery machine of the fluid product is idle, it will be possible to insert the delivery means into the container in which the liquid and/or vapor is present, preventing the drying of possible residues of fluid product present thereon.
  • the delivery means for example the tips of the needles which deliver the coloring substances, are prevented from drying during periods of idleness.
  • the vaporization times are more rapid and, if necessary, there will be less heat energy needed.
  • the vapor generated by heating, or in a natural way by exploiting the vapor tension of the liquid at ambient temperature remains confined in the container, and this, as well as eliminating the creation of undesired humidity on the components of the dispensing machine and outside it, makes the integration of liquid unnecessary.
  • the container is provided with a closing lid which has a portion made, at least partly, with a membrane of an elastic material able to dilate, when the delivery means are inserted through it in order to be kept damp, during the performance of the anti-drying action, and to re-compact, when the delivery means are removed from the container, thus preventing the fluid and vapor contained therein from leaking out.
  • the use of the membrane which acts as a closing element is advantageous because it allows an optimal control of the humidity inside the container.
  • the presence of the membrane on the container has the advantage that, when the delivery means are removed through it, there is an effect of scraping the residues of fluid product possibly present, contributing to increase the cleanliness of the delivery means, obtaining a considerable improvement in the delivery.
  • the anti-drying device of the present invention comprises a mechanical arm, pivoted on a vertical pin which bears a support plate of the fluid container at one end, the mechanical arm being rotatable between a first operating position in which the container is in cooperation with the delivery means for the anti-drying action, and a second operating position, rotated with respect to the first, where it is disengaged.
  • the present invention also concerns a method to humidify delivery means in accordance with claim 12 for fluid and semi-fluid products, pastes, gels, creams such as for example coloring products, pigments or paints, of a machine at least for the automatic delivery of at least a fluid product into a closed container.
  • the method comprises a step of introducing into a container or receptacle, hermetically closed by means of a closing lid and which has an internal volume in which there is a fluid, liquid and/or vapor, at least the ends of the delivery means through a portion of the closing lid, confining the liquid and/or vapor inside the container so that at least the ends of the delivery means are in contact with the liquid and/or vapor, so as to prevent them from drying out.
  • an anti-drying device 10 can be used to prevent the drying of residues of fluid products in delivery needles 74 of a delivery device 21 of a machine 75 to automatically deliver fluid coloring products in closed receptacles 11.
  • the anti-drying device 10 comprises a container or receptacle 79, hermetically closed by means of a closing lid 82 and substantially similar to the recipients 11, inside which a fluid or liquid is present, such as water and/or aqueous vapor, and a support plate 78 on which the container 79 is disposed, comprising heating means 81, in this case an electric resistance integrated into it, by means of which to heat-regulate the support plate 78 in order to generate and maintain a desired quantity of liquid and vapor inside the container 79.
  • the heating means 81 can be set to a desired temperature, to obtain the desired balance between liquid and vapor inside the container 79.
  • the closing lid 82 is configured both to confine the liquid and/or vapor inside the container 79 and also to allow the introduction, through at least one of its portions, of the delivery needles 74 of the delivery device 21 inside the closed container 79 so that they are in contact with the liquid and/or vapor, so as to prevent them from drying out.
  • the same closed container 79 which contains the liquid by means of which the anti-drying vapor is generated also comprises the heating means 81, achieving a more compact device.
  • the container 79 since the container 79 is hermetically closed by the closing lid 82, the liquid which generates the vapor is not wasted, but remains confined inside the volume of the container 79, without needing topping up or integrations and also without dispersing inside or outside the machine 75. Moreover, as the container 79 is closed, even the heat energy required for evaporation will be less, with obvious saving in terms of time and costs.
  • the container 79 is attached in a selectively removable way to the support plate 78.
  • the container 79 is provided with releasable attachment means 72 ( fig. 6 ), of the bayonet type for example, able to cooperate with mating counter attachment means provided on the support plate 78, for an easy attachment to the support plate 78.
  • the container 79 can be easily removed from the support plate 78 to guarantee easy access and cleaning by the specialized operator, seeing that, normally, after a certain number of hours of functioning, the liquid contained will have to be removed and substituted.
  • the cleaning operation will be indicated by the operating system which manages the functioning of the device 10 by means of a suitable message.
  • the sizes of the container 79 which can, for example, be a cylindrical shaped can, are configured to house inside it at least the part or end of the needles 74 on which, normally, there can be residue of fluid product which is delivered.
  • a liquid for example water
  • the closing lid 82 with which the container 79 is provided has a portion made, at least partly, with a membrane 83 of an elastic material able to dilate, when the delivery needles 74 are inserted through it in order to be kept damp, during the performance of the anti-drying action, and to re-compact, when the needles 74 are removed, preventing the liquid contained therein from leaking out.
  • the membrane portion 83 of the closing lid 82 of the container 79 is sized in a manner coordinated with the overall plane bulk of the plurality of needles 74, so as to guarantee that each of them is inserted inside the container 79 for the anti-drying action.
  • the anti-drying device is shown used in a machine 75 for the automatic preparation and distribution of fluid coloring products, contained in closed receptacles 11, which in this case comprises a support structure 12, divided into substantially three modular compartments 13, 14 and 15, integrated with each other, as described in the copending patent application in Italy of the Applicant n. UD2010A000126 with the same priority date and entitled "MACHINE FOR THE AUTOMATIC PREPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FLUID COLORING PRODUCTS CONTAINED IN CLOSED RECEPTACLES".
  • the receptacles 11 can be either metal, such as steel, or plastic material and can be a cylindrical shape or any other shape, such as for example a parallelepiped, with a square or rectangular base. Each of them can contain a fluid paint base, which can be for example transparent or white, to which a colorant is then added, substantially consisting of pigments.
  • Each receptacle 11 can be closed by a lid provided at the center with a membrane, of a known type, which has the characteristic of being holed by one or more needles and closing automatically when each needle is removed, as is the case of the membrane 83 of the container 79.
  • a plurality of tanks 20 are disposed ( fig. 1 ), which can be of any known type, for example as described in the European patent EP-B-1.744.826 , in the name of the present Applicant, in each of which a different coloring substance is contained.
  • a delivery device 21 is disposed, which can be of any known type, for example as described in the Italian patent IT-B-1.370.076 , in the name of the present Applicant.
  • the delivery device 21 is connected to the tanks 20 by means of pipes 23 ( figs. 4 and 5 ) of any known type.
  • a mixing device 22 is disposed in this case, which can be of any known type, for example of the type described in the European patent EP-B-1.417.024 granted on 21.09.2005 to the Applicant.
  • a loading station 25 ( figs. 1 and 3 ) is disposed, which comprises a plate 26, of a circular shape for example, which acts as a support element and centering member for one receptacle 11 at a time.
  • the loading station 25 has a first vertical axis Z1 ( figs. 3 - 5 ).
  • an access door 29 is disposed, of a semi-circular shape and comprising, in some forms of embodiment, two panels 29a and 29b, each of which has an angular development of 90° to act as a rotating bushing.
  • transfer means 30 ( figs. 1 , 3 , 4 and 5 ) are able to selectively and automatically transfer the receptacle 11, together with the plate 26, both from the loading station 25 to the delivery device 21, along a first horizontal axis X, and from the delivery device 21 to the mixing device 22, along a second horizontal axis Y, perpendicular to the axis X, and vice versa, to return them to the loading station 25.
  • data input means 50 are disposed, connected to a central control unit 59 ( fig. 1 ) and able to be actuated by the user in order to choose the sizes and the capacity of the receptacle 11, the type of paint base and/or the color of the fluid coloring product to be obtained.
  • the delivery device 21 ( figs. 4 and 5 ) comprises a plate 73 on which the needles 74 are mounted, disposed parallel and concentric to the vertical axis Z2 and each connected to a corresponding pipe 23.
  • the plate 73 is mobile vertically along the vertical axis Z2 by means of an electric motor, of a known type and not shown in the drawings, which is also controlled by the central control unit 59.
  • the anti-drying device 10 ( figs. 3-6 ) used in the machine 75 comprises a mechanical arm 76, pivoted on a vertical pin 77 which bears the support plate 78 at one end, which can be heat-regulated with the electric resistance 81 integrated in it, on which the container 79 is removably disposed.
  • the mechanical arm 76 is rotatable by means of an electric motor 80, controlled by the central control unit 59, between a first operating position in which it is aligned with the horizontal axis Y ( figs. 3 and 4 ) and a second operating position, rotated by 90° with respect to the first, that is, parallel to the horizontal axis X ( figs. 5 and 6 and shown by dashes in fig. 3 ).
  • the container 79 In the first operating condition ( figs. 3 and 4 ) the container 79 is coaxial to the second vertical axis Z2 and the plate 73 is lowered against the container 79 ( fig. 4 ), so that the tips of the needles 74 are inside the latter, remaining damp thanks to the liquid and/or vapor contained therein. In the second operating position ( figs. 3 , 5 and 6 ) the container 79 is coaxial to a fourth vertical axis Z4, outside the bulk of the plate 26 and of the plate 73.
  • the method with which the anti-drying device 10 as described heretofore is used functions in the machine 75 as follows.
  • the user by means of the data input means 50, chooses and selects the characteristics of the specific fluid product that he intends to purchase.
  • the user takes the type of receptacle 11 from a store or shelf which contains the type of paint base for example and which has the capacity he has chosen, and positions it in the loading station 25 ( fig. 1 ), centering it on the plate 26.
  • the access door 29 ( figs. 2 and 3 ) is closed so that the two panels 29a and 29b are disposed in front of the receptacle 11 (position shown by dashes in figs. 2 and 3 ) and therefore so that nobody can access the loading station 25, until the end of the operating cycle.
  • the central control unit 59 can automatically carry out a step to verify that the receptacle 11 is the type chosen by the user, and also that it is centered on the plate 26, possibly inviting the user to correct the positioning or substitute the receptacle 11.
  • the central control unit 59 sets and activates the functioning of the heating means 81, in order to have the desired atmosphere saturated with vapor inside the container 79. Normally, at the beginning, the needles 74 of the delivery device 21 are inserted in the container 79, to prevent drying.
  • the central control unit 59 automatically carries out a step of preparing the delivery device 21, lifting first the plate 73 ( fig. 5 ) and then rotating the mechanical arm 76 by 90° in a clockwise direction ( fig. 3 ), by means of the electric motor 80, to bring it together with the container 10 into the second operating position, aligned with the vertical axis Z4.
  • a positioning step is then carried out, under the control of the central control unit 59, by means of the transfer means 30, to position the receptacle 11 aligned to the vertical axis Z2, instead of the container 79, and to deliver coloring substances inside the receptacle 11.
  • the plate 73 of the delivery device 21 is lowered until the needles 74 have their tips inside the receptacle 11 (position shown by dashes in fig. 5 ).
  • the pipes 23 then convey into the receptacle 11, by means of volumetric pumps of a known type and not shown in the drawings, the necessary quantity of coloring substance contained in the tanks 20, so as to achieve the shade of color chosen by the user.
  • the plate 73 is raised.
  • the central control unit 59 automatically carries out a second step of transferring the receptacle 11 (figs. 10 and 11) from the delivery device 21 (vertical axis Z2) to the mixing device 22 (vertical axis Z3), by means of the transfer means 30.
  • the central control unit 59 then carries out a step of mixing the product contained inside the receptacle 11 (paint base plus coloring substances), commanding, in a known way, the mixing device 22, which stirs the receptacle 11 for a predetermined time.
  • the central control unit 59 commands the inverse operations, until the receptacle 11 is returned to the loading station 25.
  • the electric motor 80 returns the container 79 to the first operating position, aligned with the vertical axis Z2, and the plate 73 of the delivery device 21 is lowered to return the tips of the needles 74 inside the container 79 and thus prevent the possible residues from drying out, such as coloring pigments.
  • the panels 29a and 29b ( figs 2 and 3 ) can then be returned (manually or automatically) to their initial condition behind the plate 26. At this point the user can remove the receptacle 11 containing inside it the coloring product he requested.
  • the hermetically sealed container 79 can be the disposable type, and comprise inside it a liquid that has its own vapor tension, advantageously water or a suitable aqueous mixture, so as to generate a desired quantity of vapor which, thanks to the closing lid 82, stays confined inside the volume of the container 79, where the needles can be introduced for damping ( figs. 7 and 8 ).
  • the heating means 81 might not be provided, as in fig. 8 , or they could be included, integrated in the support plate 78, to function as an auxiliary for the vaporization as in fig. 7 .
  • the disposable container 79 is housed in a fixed external container 85 which advantageously has attachment means, for example bayonet type, for releasable attachment to the support plate 78 ( fig. 8 ).
  • sensor means 87 can be provided, able to recognize the presence or absence of the container 79, so as to transmit a correlated warning signal by means of the central control unit 59 of the machine 75, so that it provides for the correct positioning of the container 79: this may be advantageous in the case of a disposable container 79 as described above.
  • the sensor means 87 are for example embedded on the internal upper edge of the external fixed container 85.
  • a sponge element 84 is provided ( fig. 8 ), preferably of the disposable type, associated above the container 79, for example interposed between the closing lid 82 with the membrane 83 and the container itself, the function of which is to collect any possible drops of colorant or dirt that remain on the surface of the needles 74 after the membrane 83 has been scraped.
