- an adjustment device ER which possibly consists of several subunits, as in FIG. 1, in order to set several components.
- the cleaning angle of the upper dry ice nozzle 2 shown in FIG. 2 is substantially horizontal and the cleaning angle of the lower dry ice nozzle 2 is upward, it is possible within the scope of the invention for the dry ice nozzles 2 to be directed downwards during a cleaning operation that detached dirt particles can be discharged more easily or faster downwards.
- both a dry ice nozzle 2 to be carried and guided by a robot RT and the component B to be cleaned by a robot RB and to be moved relative to one another during the cleaning process.
- the movements are arbitrary.
- the component to be cleaned B relative to the dry ice nozzle 2 for example, be rotated and moved translationally.
- the dry ice nozzle 2 for example, at least partially to the cleaning component B is rotated and simultaneously or successively the dry ice nozzle 2 along the component to be cleaned is moved (for example, from the bell cup to the electrode ring).
- the movements of the dry ice nozzle 2 and the component B to be cleaned can take place simultaneously or in succession.
- the dry ice nozzles 2 shown in FIG. 2 can be arranged without the robots RT, as is the case in FIG. 1, and in particular are stationary.
- the component B to be cleaned can be again positioned in front of the dry ice nozzles 2 by the robot RB carrying and guiding it and moved relative to the dry ice nozzles 2, e.g. rotated (arrow PI) and / or moved transversely / translationally (arrow P2).
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a dry ice nozzle 2 of a cleaning device 1 according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the dry ice nozzle 2 comprises an agglomeration chamber AK which can be supplied with fluid carbon dioxide (CO 2) and in which a two-phase carbon dioxide mixture comprising carbon dioxide gas and carbon dioxide particles can be formed by agglomeration of carbon dioxide snow crystals.
- the agglomeration chamber AK supplied liquid carbon dioxide is expanded in the agglomeration AK and carbon dioxide crystals are formed, which are compressed and agglomerated.
- the carbon dioxide mixture is mixed in the agglomeration chamber AK with a pressurized carrier gas TG (eg compressed air), preferably in order to accelerate it.
- TG pressurized carrier gas
- the agglomeration chamber AK for example via a metering is connected to a mixing device in the form of a mixing chamber, and the carbon dioxide mixture is mixed in the mixing chamber with the pressurized carrier gas TG.
- the agglomeration chamber AK assumes the function of a mixing chamber, as it were, so that the agglomeration chamber and the mixing chamber are virtually one and the same chamber.
- FIG. 3 shows that the dry ice 3 consists at least partly of carbon dioxide, in particular a two-phase carbon dioxide mixture comprising carbon dioxide gas and carbon dioxide particles.
- the two-phase carbon dioxide mixture is mixed with the pressurized carrier gas TG prior to application of the dry ice 3 from the dry ice nozzle 2 in the agglomeration and / or mixing chamber.
- the dry ice discharged from the dry ice nozzle 3 is thus preferably a two-phase carbon dioxide mixture which is provided with a pressurized carrier gas TG, and in particular in the form of a carbon dioxide snow jet is discharged from the dry ice nozzle 2.
- the dry ice nozzle 2 is adjustable in its nozzle contour (for example, the beam widening angle can be changed, as indicated by the arrow P3).
- the dry ice nozzle 2 may comprise an adjustment function in order to be able to change its orientation, in particular the cleaning angle.
- the cleaning device 1 can also have a carrier gas heater TE schematically indicated in FIG. 3 for heating the carrier gas TG.
- the cleaning device 1 can comprise a plurality of dry ice nozzles 2, which are arranged so fixed or can be arranged so that they can preferably cover the entire outer circumference of the component B to be cleaned and / or that they correspond to the outer contour of the component to be cleaned B can correspond.
- a robot carries both a nebulizer and a dry ice nozzle, which is attached to the robot and arranged so that the function of the nebulizer is not affected by the dry ice nozzle.
- the dry ice nozzle may e.g. be shielded by a cover of the atomizer.
- FIG. 4 shows the possibility of partially irradiating and cleaning the object to be cleaned partially with dry ice, using the example of an application component 40 shown schematically as a rotary atomizer.
- the upper part of FIG. 4 shows the possibility of partially irradiating and cleaning the object to be cleaned partially with dry ice, using the example of an application component 40 shown schematically as a rotary atomizer.
- the upper part of FIG. 4 shows the possibility of partially irradiating and cleaning the object to be cleaned partially with dry ice, using the example of an application component 40 shown schematically as a rotary atomizer.
- the upper part of FIG. 4 shows the possibility of partially irradiating and cleaning the object to be cleaned partially with dry ice, using the example of an application component 40 shown schematically as a rotary atomizer.
- the upper part of FIG. 4 shows the possibility of partially irradiating and cleaning the object to be cleaned partially with dry ice.
- Part of this component 40 can be directly illuminated (not shown), while the lower portion 41 in the vicinity of the bell plate 44 is indirectly illuminated and cleaned.
- the dry ice nozzle 42 is therefore not directed directly to the here cylindrical or conical surface of the region 41, but arranged so that the dry ice jet 43 laterally or tangentially past the surface to be cleaned.
- This "fly-by" has the advantage that, for example, the surface to be cleaned is not deformed or damaged by the impact of the particles
- the passage of the cold carbon dioxide-carrier gas mixture causes a cooling of the contaminated surface and removal of the contamination by the air flow.
- other surfaces can also be illuminated indirectly and be cleaned, while again other component areas can be cleaned by direct application of dry ice to the respective component.
- Figure 5 shows a possible division of the surface of a coating device 50, which is divided into sections for sequential cleaning.
- the coating device 50 is a part of the rotary atomizer of a painting robot (not shown, but see robot RB and component B in Fig. 2) with adjacent areas or sections 51, 52, 53 and 54.
- Each section can separately with a painting robot are approached and then cleaned by the painting robot rotates the coating device 50 in the programmed position 360 ° to the dry ice nozzle. After this cleaning, the painting robot can continue its "normal" paint job until the next section is ready for cleaning.
- the control of the various cycles and dependencies are dictated by the robot control, or they can also be determined and implemented, for example, depending on the degree of soiling by visual measuring methods become.
