Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coating agent supply device, in particular for a paint shop, and an associated operating method according to the preamble of the independent claims.
  • WO 2004/037436 A1 is a multi-axis painting robot known, which has a rotary atomizer as an application device and can be used, for example, for painting automotive body panels.
  • the supply of the paint to be applied takes place here by a piston dispenser, which is mounted on an arm of the painting robot and is at a high voltage potential, so that the applied by the rotary atomizer paint is electrically charged, resulting in a good order efficiency over the electrically grounded motor vehicle body parts or the other components to be painted.
  • a color changer is still arranged, which is supplied via numerous color supply lines with paints of different colors, the color changer allows the selection of the desired color and supplies the piston dispenser with the associated paint.
  • the color changer In operation, the color changer is at an electrical ground potential, so that the numerous color leads must not be made electrically insulating.
  • the connection between the color changer and the piston dispenser is effected by an insulation tube which ensures electrical insulation between the color changer lying at ground potential and the piston dispenser for painting at high-voltage potential.
  • the electrical potential separation between the color changer and the piston dispenser is achieved by rinsing and cleaning the insulation tube.
  • the piston dispenser must be refilled even without a color change when the entire filling volume of the piston dispenser has been applied by the rotary atomizer.
  • the refilling of the piston dispenser by the color changer is also relatively time-consuming, which slows down the painting process.
  • a painting robot is also known in which a metering pump and a color changer are arranged together in a robot arm of the painting robot, which is associated with the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • the atomizer can be optionally connected to one of the two piston dispenser, while the other piston dispenser is filled.
  • the selection of the desired piston meter takes place here by a complex turning mechanism.
  • Out DE 691 09 823 T2 and DE 690 01 744 T2 is an electrostatic paint spraying system with two coating agent known, which are arranged one behind the other in the flow direction and separated by an insulating distance.
  • the separation of the two coating agent tanks through the insulating section makes it possible to place the downstream coating agent tank at high voltage potential during the paint application, while the upstream one Coating agent tank is at ground potential and therefore can be easily filled with paint.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to improve the known coating agent supply device accordingly.
  • the invention includes the general technical teaching not to fill the coating agent metering device (e.g., a piston dispenser) directly from the color changer, but indirectly via a coating agent storage container therebetween.
  • This offers the possibility that the coating agent storage container is already filled during coating with coating material and not only in the color change times, which contributes to a reduction of the color change times.
  • the transfer from the coating agent storage container into the coating agent metering device can be done due to the short and direct connection with very large volume flow.
  • the continuous filling of the coating agent storage container during painting also offers the advantage that due to the time available for filling relatively small paint volume flows in the supply lines (eg color ring lines and special paint supply) sufficient so that the associated lines a smaller Can have line cross-section, whereby the installation costs are reduced.
  • a coating agent metering device or metering device preferably denotes a device with which during coating the amount of coating material to be supplied to the application device (Instantaneous flow) can be changed as needed, for example depending on the respective workpiece area and other parameters, such as in EP 1 314 483 A2 or DE 691 03 218 T2 is explained.
  • This possibility does not exist in known systems in which only by controlled adjustment of a piston, the filling volume of a container is set, such as at DE 690 01 744 T2 ,
  • the coating agent dosing device here is for painting at a high voltage potential, while the coating agent storage tank is at a near-ground potential (preferably ground potential), wherein the coating agent storage tank is connected via an insulating with the coating agent dosing to the coating material lying at high voltage potential Doser isolate against the grounded coating agent storage tank.
  • the electrical potentials of the coating agent metering agent and the coating agent storage container are preferably switchable, so that the coating agent metering device is brought to high voltage potential only for painting, whereas the high voltage for filling the coating agent metering device can be switched off.
  • the coating agent storage container may also be connected directly to the coating agent supply line.
  • the docking interface for the connection of the coating agent metering device with the coating agent storage container can in this case be mounted in the painting robot, for example in a robot arm, so that the docking interface with the painting robot is movable. additionally To the docking interface, a color changer can also be arranged in the painting robot.
  • the docking interface is arranged stationary outside the painting robot.
  • the docking interface there is the possibility that the docking interface mittex with the painting robot by the docking interface is mounted for example on the axis 7 of the painting robot.
  • the coating agent storage container on an adjustable storage volume, wherein the storage volume is adjustable for example by a compressed air-operated piston.
  • this offers the possibility that the new coating agent remaining in the coating agent storage container after the filling of the coating agent metering device is pushed back out of the coating agent storage container back into the coating agent supply line, which is also referred to as "reflow".
  • this "reflow” reduces the coating agent consumption, since the new coating agent remaining in the coating agent storage container after the filling of the coating agent metering device can continue to be used.
  • the cleaning of the coating agent storage container is facilitated thereby, so that less detergent is needed.
  • the coating agent metering device is preferably a piston dispenser, as described, for example, in the document mentioned above WO 2004/037436 A1 is described.
  • the content of this document is therefore the present Description regarding the construction and operation of a piston dispenser.

  • the coating agent storage container is preferably a cylinder with a storage piston which is displaceably arranged in the cylinder, wherein the drive of the storage piston can be carried out, for example, by an electric motor, hydraulically or pneumatically. The position of the storage piston then determines the storage volume of the coating agent storage container.
  • the invention is particularly advantageous for the application of water-based paint, but the invention is not limited to water-based paint with respect to the coating agent to be applied, but in principle also feasible with other types of coating agents.
  • the invention comprises not only the coating agent supply device according to the invention described above, but also a complete painting robot with such a coating agent supply device.

  • the supply of the coating agent storage container 6 is effected by a coating agent supply line 11, which opens into the storage volume 10 and emanates, for example, from a conventional color changer or a loop.
  • the withdrawn volume flow also depends on the viscosity of the removed coating agent.
  • a low viscosity of the coating agent leads to a relatively large volume flow from the loop.
  • a high viscosity of the coating agent leads to a correspondingly low volume flow during removal.
  • the viscosity of the coating agent is therefore preferably taken into account, so that the filling of the coating agent storage container 6 is always independent of the viscosity of the coating agent with a constant low flow rate.
  • the filling of the coating agent storage container 6 is preferably carried out until the accumulator piston 8 abuts a predetermined stop, whereby the maintenance of a defined filling quantity is ensured.
  • the pneumatic backpressure on the accumulator piston 8 is set at the beginning of a removal to a predetermined value and then not regulated.

  • the insulation tube 12 has a larger line cross-section than the coating supply line 11, so that the coating agent metering device 1 can be filled as quickly as possible from the coating agent storage container 6, as will be described in detail.
  • the smaller line cross section of the coating agent supply line 11 is harmless, since the filling of the coating agent storage container 6 takes place during painting, so that sufficient time is available for the filling of the coating agent storage container 6.
  • the lower cost of the smaller cross-section of the coating agent supply line 11 is advantageous since smaller lines can be used.
