Definitions

  • the cleaning effect of the carbon dioxide is based inter alia on its abrasive action against the plastic component to be cleaned.
  • carbon dioxide is applied to a commercial scale by means of the cleaning device with specified parameters and the force is displayed in the form of grams / kilogram.
  • the force is displayed in the form of grams / kilogram.
  • the balance test only cumulative values of the nozzles can be displayed, since several nozzles are installed in each unit and these are operated together with a drive. That is, only the individual arrays (i.e., 3 pieces) and the total cleaning area can be considered, not the individual nozzles. Further, with a defective nozzle, the results of pressure and weight measurements are the same (consequently, a single defective nozzle can not be identified) because in this case the amount of material passed through is evenly distributed among the remaining nozzles.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method with the features described above, which allows a test of the proper functional state of the cleaning device without this production must be interrupted.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that preferably the time intervals between the cleaning of two motor vehicle plastic components can be used to automatically move the cleaning device into a different test position from the cleaning position during this time.
  • a test position preferably fixed in a cleaning cabin (in which the method is interrupt insomnia carried out) installed test body with carbon dioxide from the cleaning device acted upon, which is immediately moved back to a cleaning position, so that the production process is not interrupted by the described test process or stopped.
  • the loading of the test body with the carbon dioxide is preferably likewise carried out automatically and allows a check of the functional state of the cleaning device at predetermined time intervals (eg after a predefined number of cleaned automotive plastic components or during existing process gaps), without the production process being impaired as a result.
  • the inspection is repetitively performed according to preset cycle times, e.g. each after a certain number of cleaned automotive plastic components.
  • the cleaning device is arranged on a robot arm.
  • the method of the cleaning device from a cleaning position to the test position can be done by a linear movement or by a pivoting movement, which of course both types of movement combined with each other, so can be superimposed.
  • the test body has sensors, in particular for pressure and / or temperature and / or force, at a plurality of test positions spaced apart from one another. These sensors are expediently in operative connection with an electronic data processing device which compares the measured values of the sensors with predetermined desired values.
  • the above-described arrangement of mutually spaced sensors allows a local evaluation of the functional state of the cleaning device, so that correspondingly also individual defective nozzles can be identified by means of this very precise test method.
  • the setpoint values can be determined, for example, by means of a calibration method, in which a corresponding loading of the test element takes place by means of a proven properly functioning cleaning device and the measured values of the measuring sensors determined here are used to determine the corresponding setpoint values.
  • the electronic data processing device expediently also determines a maximum permissible deviation of the actual values from the desired values. If a perfect functional state of the cleaning device is determined by the method according to the invention, the production process can be continued without any restriction. If an emerging tolerance violation is detected, it is expedient to use an upcoming time window, in which the production is interrupted anyway, for cleaning or repair / repair of the cleaning device. If the detected fault can be remedied by means of a method which can be carried out very quickly, the fault can be rectified even immediately after a test procedure, so that the cleaning device is already available for the next arriving motor vehicle component in good time and according to the Production process is not disturbed.
  • test body is plate-shaped.
  • the test body is preferably arranged on a device permanently installed in the cleaning cabin.
  • the exposure of the test body is evaluated photo-optically.
  • the spray pattern generated during the test process is preferably aligned with reference beam images. Based on a target-actual comparison, a conclusion is then drawn on the functional state of the cleaning device.
  • the test body consists e.g. made of metal or plastic, e.g. a rigid foam, wherein in particular the use of polystyrene rigid foam is within the scope of the invention.
  • a rigid foam wherein in particular the use of polystyrene rigid foam is within the scope of the invention.
  • the abrasive effect of the carbon dioxide cleaning agent is very good and consequently the perfect functional state of the cleaning device is very well detected by a spray pattern on a corresponding polystyrene foam test body.
  • the inspection process takes place between the cleaning of two consecutive motor vehicle plastic components and consequently the cleaning process for a single motor vehicle plastic component does not have to be interrupted for this purpose. Rather, the already existing time intervals between two cleaning operations are used to run in this time the testing process.
  • the cleaning device expediently has a plurality of, preferably differently oriented, nozzles for uniform application of the CO 2 to the motor vehicle plastic component.
  • the cleaning device has several, for example 3, so-called.
  • Arrays each containing a plurality, eg 6, nozzles. Consequently, the cleaning device in this case has 18 nozzles.
  • the number of test positions at which sensors are provided on the test body is expediently identical to the number of nozzles of the cleaning device. Consequently, in this case, exactly one nozzle is associated with each test position of the test body.
  • the nozzles of an array are supplied with CO 2 via a common supply line.
  • the Fig. 1 and 2 show a cleaning device 1, which is used in a method for painting automotive bumpers 2 are used.
  • a cleaning device 1 for this purpose a plurality of differently aligned nozzles 6 for uniform application of the CO 2 snow 5 on the vehicle bumper 2.
  • the cleaning device 1 is arranged on a robot arm 7, which is part of a corresponding cleaning robot 8.
  • the cleaning device 1 is also connected to an unillustrated supply system for providing the CO 2 .
  • the motor vehicle bumpers 2 enter a painting area 9, which is not shown in detail, and are provided there with at least one layer of paint by means of an automated painting process.
  • FIG. 2 is between the cleaning of two successive the cleaning area 4 continuous vehicle bumper 2 which is located in a cleaning cabin 10 cleaning device 1 for the purpose of checking the functional state of the same at predetermined intervals from a cleaning position 11 moved to a test position 12.
  • the cleaning device 1 then acts in the test position 12 as part of a test procedure, a test body 13 with carbon dioxide. Following this, the cleaning device 1 is moved back into its cleaning position 11 and is available for the cleaning of the next incoming vehicle bumper 2 in good time again.
  • An automated evaluation of the loading of the test body 12 with CO 2 is followed by a conclusion as to the functional state of the cleaning device 1.
  • test body 13 is in Fig. 3 shown in more detail. It can be seen that the test body 13 has at several, spaced-apart test positions 14 sensors 15, which serve to determine the pressure and the temperature at the respective test position 14.
  • the measuring sensors 15 are in operative connection with an electronic data processing device, not shown, which compares the measured values of the measuring sensors 15 with predetermined desired values.
  • the test body 13 is plate-shaped.
  • the test body 13 has 18 spaced-apart test positions 14.
  • the cleaning device 1 has three so-called. Arrays, each having six nozzles. Consequently, the cleaning device 1 has 18 nozzles. Accordingly, each nozzle 6 of the cleaning device 1 is assigned a test position 14 on the test body 13, which is equipped with corresponding sensors 15. Thus, it can be done for each nozzle 6 a detection of their proper functional condition.
  • the test body 13 is plate-shaped.
  • the test body 13 may be made of metal, but also of rigid foam.
