- an air flow is passed through the heat exchanger, namely the cold exhaust air flow of the pump, whereas on the hot side of the heat exchanger, a water flow is passed through the heat exchanger.
- the heat exchanger is preferably a recuperator, i. a heat exchanger with an indirect heat transfer between cold side and hot side and a material separation between cold side and hot side.
- the cooling device has a cooling circuit, which connects the heating-sensitive component of the coating system with the first heat exchanger, the cooling circuit containing a cooling medium (eg air, water) to the dissipated heat from the heating-sensitive component of the coating system to the first heat exchanger to transport.

- a robot eg painting robot, handling robot.
- Such "rail houses” are for example in DE 102 34 915 A1 described and also belong to the general expertise, so that in this respect can be dispensed with a detailed description.
- the cooling circuit introduces cold air into the protective housing ("railhouse”) and removes warm air from the protective housing ("railhouse”) in order to lower the internal temperature of the protective housing ("railhouse”).
- the cooling of the compressed air used to drive the pump can lead to the formation of condensation or ice formation (icing) on the components of the system which come into contact with the relaxed, cold exhaust air from the pump.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Beschichtungsanlage zur Beschichtung von Bauteilen mit einem Beschichtungsmittel, insbesondere in Form einer Lackieranlage zur Lackierung von Kraftfahrzeugkarosseriebauteilen mit einem Lack.The invention relates to a coating installation for coating components with a coating agent, in particular in the form of a painting installation for painting motor vehicle body components with a paint.
In modernen Lackieranlagen zur Lackierung von Kraftfahrzeugkarosseriebauteilen werden zur Förderung des zu applizierenden Lacks oftmals pneumatisch angetriebene Farbversorgungspumpen eingesetzt, die in einem Farbversorgungsraum der Lackieranlage angeordnet sind. Der Antrieb dieser Farbversorgungspumpen erfolgt mittels Druckluft, die dann über einen Abluftanschluss von der Farbversorgungspumpe abgeführt wird. Eine Möglichkeit der Abführung der Abluft von den Farbversorgungspumpen besteht darin, diese über einen Schalldämpfer in die unmittelbare Umgebungsluft abzugeben. Eine andere Möglichkeit der Abführung der Abluft von den Farbversorgungspumpen besteht darin, diese über Luftkanäle im Farbversorgungsraum zu sammeln und dann ins Freie zu leiten. In beiden Fällen wird die Abluft der pneumatisch angetriebenen Farbversorgungspumpen jedoch nicht weiter genutzt.In modern paint shops for painting motor vehicle body components, pneumatically driven paint supply pumps, which are arranged in a paint supply space of the paint shop, are often used to convey the paint to be applied. The drive of these paint supply pumps by means of compressed air, which is then discharged via an exhaust port of the ink supply pump. One way of removing the exhaust air from the paint supply pumps is to deliver them via a silencer in the immediate ambient air. Another way of removing the exhaust air from the paint supply pumps is to collect them via air ducts in the paint supply room and then to lead into the open. In both cases, however, the exhaust air of the pneumatically driven ink supply pumps is not used.

Schließlich ist zum Stand der Technik auch hinzuweisen auf
Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine entsprechend verbesserte Beschichtungsanlage zu schaffen.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a correspondingly improved coating system.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine erfindungsgemäße Beschichtungsanlage gemäß dem Hauptanspruch gelöst.This object is achieved by a coating system according to the invention according to the main claim.
Die Erfindung beruht auf der technisch-physikalischen Erkenntnis, dass die Abluft der pneumatisch angetriebenen Farbversorgungspumpen entspannt ist und sich aufgrund der Expansion abkühlt. Der kalte Abluftstrom der pneumatisch angetriebenen Pumpen kann deshalb zu Kühlzwecken eingesetzt werden.The invention is based on the technical-physical knowledge that the exhaust air of the pneumatically driven ink supply pumps is relaxed and cools due to the expansion. The cold exhaust air flow of the pneumatically driven pumps can therefore be used for cooling purposes.
Die Erfindung sieht deshalb eine Kühleinrichtung vor, die eine erwärmungsempfindliche Komponente (z.B. Farbringleitung, Railhouse) der Beschichtungsanlage mittels des kalten Abluftstroms der Pumpe kühlt.The invention therefore provides a cooling device which cools a heating sensitive component (e.g., railhouse) of the coating equipment by means of the cold exhaust air flow of the pump.
Hierzu weist die Kühleinrichtung mindestens einen ersten Wärmetauscher auf, um Wärme von der erwärmungsempfindlichen Komponente (z.B. Farbringleitung, Railhouse) der Beschichtungsanlage auf den kalten Abluftstrom der Pumpe zu übertragen, wodurch die erwärmungsempfindliche Komponente der Beschichtungsanlage gekühlt wird. In Abhängigkeit von der erforderlichen Kühlleistung ist es im Rahmen der Erfindung auch möglich, dass mehrere Wärmetauscher in Reihe geschaltet werden.For this purpose, the cooling device has at least one first heat exchanger in order to transfer heat from the heating-sensitive component (eg paint line, railhouse) of the coating system to the cold exhaust air flow of the pump, whereby the heating-sensitive component of the coating system is cooled. Depending on the required cooling capacity, it is also possible within the scope of the invention that a plurality of heat exchangers are connected in series.
In einer Variante der Erfindung ist der erste Wärmetauscher ein Luft/Luft-Wärmetauscher, d.h. sowohl die Wärmezufuhr auf der Warmseite des Wärmetauschers als auch die Wärmeabfuhr auf der Kaltseite des Wärmetauschers erfolgt über einen Luftstrom.In a variant of the invention, the first heat exchanger is an air / air heat exchanger, ie both the heat supply to the hot side of the heat exchanger and the heat removal on the cold side of the heat exchanger via an air flow.
In einer anderen Variante der Erfindung ist der erste Wärmetauscher dagegen ein Luft/Wasser-Wärmetauscher, d. h. auf der Kaltseite des Wärmetauschers wird ein Luftstrom durch den Wärmetauscher geleitet, nämlich der kalte Abluftstrom der Pumpe, wohingegen auf der Warmseite des Wärmetauschers ein Wasserstrom durch den Wärmetauscher geleitet wird.In another variant of the invention, however, the first heat exchanger is an air / water heat exchanger, d. H. On the cold side of the heat exchanger, an air flow is passed through the heat exchanger, namely the cold exhaust air flow of the pump, whereas on the hot side of the heat exchanger, a water flow is passed through the heat exchanger.
Hinsichtlich der Bauweise des Wärmetauschers ist weiterhin zu erwähnen, dass der Wärmetauscher vorzugsweise ein Rekuperator ist, d.h. ein Wärmetauscher mit einer indirekten Wärmeübertragung zwischen Kaltseite und Warmseite und einer Stofftrennung zwischen Kaltseite und Warmseite.With regard to the construction of the heat exchanger, it should also be mentioned that the heat exchanger is preferably a recuperator, i. a heat exchanger with an indirect heat transfer between cold side and hot side and a material separation between cold side and hot side.
In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung weist die Kühleinrichtung einen Kühlkreislauf auf, der die erwärmungsempfindliche Komponente der Beschichtungsanlage mit dem ersten Wärmetauscher verbindet, wobei der Kühlkreislauf ein Kühlmedium (z.B. Luft, Wasser) enthält, um die abzuführende Wärme von der erwärmungsempfindlichen Komponente der Beschichtungsanlage zu dem ersten Wärmetauscher zu transportieren.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cooling device has a cooling circuit, which connects the heating-sensitive component of the coating system with the first heat exchanger, the cooling circuit containing a cooling medium (eg air, water) to the dissipated heat from the heating-sensitive component of the coating system to the first heat exchanger to transport.
Das Kühlmedium wird in dem Kühlkreislauf vorzugsweise von einer Pumpe im Umlaufbetrieb gefördert.The cooling medium is preferably conveyed in the cooling circuit by a pump in circulation operation.
Es wurde bereits vorstehend kurz erwähnt, dass es sich bei der erwärmungsempfindlichen Komponente der Beschichtungsanlage beispielsweise um eine Rohrleitung handeln kann, beispielsweise eine Beschichtungsmittelleitung oder eine Farbringleitung. Derartige Rohrleitungen sind von herkömmlichen Beschichtungsanlagen bzw. Lackieranlagen bekannt und müssen deshalb nicht näher beschrieben werden.It has already been briefly mentioned above that the heating-sensitive component of the coating installation can be, for example, a pipeline, for example a coating medium line or a paint guide line. Such pipelines are known from conventional coating systems or paint shops and therefore need not be described in detail.
In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist der Kühlkreislauf über einen zweiten Wärmetauscher mit der jeweiligen Beschichtungsmittelleitung verbunden, wobei der zweite Wärmetauscher die abzuführende Wärme von der Beschichtungsmittelleitung auf den Kühlkreislauf überträgt, von wo die abzuführende Wärme dann von dem ersten Wärmetauscher auf den kalten Abluftstrom der Pumpe übertragen wird.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cooling circuit is connected via a second heat exchanger with the respective coating medium line, wherein the second heat exchanger transfers the dissipated heat from the coating medium line to the cooling circuit, from where the dissipated heat from the first heat exchanger to the cold exhaust air flow of the pump is transmitted.
In einer anderen Variante der Erfindung handelt es sich bei der erwärmungsempfindlichen Komponente der Beschichtungsanlage um ein sogenanntes "Railhouse", d.h. um ein Schutzgehäuse, das eine Verfahrachse eines Roboters (z.B. Lackierroboter, Handhabungsroboter) umgibt. Derartige "Railhouses" sind beispielsweise in
Weiterhin ist zu erwähnen, dass die Abkühlung der zum Antrieb der Pumpe dienenden Druckluft dazu führen kann, dass es an den Bauteilen der Anlage, die mit der entspannten, kalten Abluft der Pumpe in Kontakt kommen, zu Tauwasserbildung oder Eisbildung (Vereisung) kommen kann. In dem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist die an den Abluftanschluss der Pumpe angeschlossene Kaltluftleitung deshalb an ihrer Außenseite mit einer Wärmeisolierung versehen, um Tauwasserbildung bzw. Eisbildung an der Außenseite der Kaltluftleitung zu vermeiden. Der erfindungsgemäße Gedanke einer Wärmeisolierung der Kaltluftleitung ist auch unabhängig von einer Kühleinrichtung von eigener schutzwürdiger Bedeutung.It should also be mentioned that the cooling of the compressed air used to drive the pump can lead to the formation of condensation or ice formation (icing) on the components of the system which come into contact with the relaxed, cold exhaust air from the pump. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the connected to the exhaust port of the pump cold air line is therefore provided on its outside with a thermal insulation to avoid condensation or ice formation on the outside of the cold air line. The inventive idea of thermal insulation of the cold air line is independent of a cooling device of its own worthy of protection.
Ferner ist zu erwähnen, dass die erfindungsgemäße Beschichtungsanlage vorzugsweise mehrere pneumatisch angetriebene Pumpen aufweist, die jeweils einen Abluftanschluss aufweisen, wobei die Abluftanschlüsse der Pumpen in eine gemeinsame Kaltluftleitung münden, die vorzugsweise mit dem ersten Wärmetauscher verbunden ist.It should also be mentioned that the coating installation according to the invention preferably has a plurality of pneumatically driven pumps each having an exhaust air connection, the exhaust air connections of the pumps opening into a common cold air duct, which is preferably connected to the first heat exchanger.
Hinsichtlich der Bauweise und der Funktionsweise der pneumatisch angetriebenen Pumpe bestehen vielfältige Möglichkeiten. Beispielsweise kann die pneumatische Pumpe als Kolbenpumpe oder als Membranpumpe ausgeführt sein, jedoch ist die Erfindung nicht auf diese Bauweisen der Pumpe beschränkt.With regard to the design and operation of the pneumatically driven pump there are many possibilities. For example, the pneumatic pump may be designed as a piston pump or as a diaphragm pump, however, the invention is not limited to these designs of the pump.
Darüber hinaus ist zu erwähnen, dass die pneumatisch angetriebenen Pumpen vorzugsweise in einem Farbmischraum der Beschichtungsanlage angeordnet sind, was an sich aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist und deshalb nicht näher beschrieben werden muss.In addition, it should be mentioned that the pneumatically driven pumps are preferably arranged in a paint mixing chamber of the coating installation, which is known per se from the prior art and therefore need not be described in detail.
Es wurde bereits vorstehend erwähnt, dass es sich bei der erwärmungsempfindlichen Komponente der Beschichtungsanlage beispielsweise um eine Rohrleitung oder ein sogenanntes "Railhouse" handeln kann. Ein anderes Beispiel für die erwärmungsempfindliche Komponente der Beschichtungsanlage ist eine Lackierkabine. So muss der Innenraum einer Lackierkabine üblicherweise klimatisiert werden, damit die Lackierung innerhalb der Lackierkabine unter möglichst konstanten Klimabedingungen erfolgt, was für ein optimales Lackierergebnis wichtig ist. Die kalte Abluft der pneumatisch angetriebenen Pumpen kann deshalb auch zur Kühlung bzw. Klimatisierung der Lackieranlage eingesetzt werden, wodurch sich der Energieaufwand zur Klimatisierung der Lackierkabine wesentlich verringern lässt. Dies ist von besonderer Bedeutung, weil der Energieverbrauch einer Lackieranlage einen großen Anteil des gesamten Energieverbrauchs eines Kraftfahrzeugwerks ausmacht.It has already been mentioned above that the heating-sensitive component of the coating installation can be, for example, a pipeline or a so-called "railhouse". Another example of the warming-sensitive component of the coating system is a paint booth. Thus, the interior of a paint booth usually has to be air-conditioned, so that the painting within the spray booth under constant climatic conditions takes place, which is important for an optimal painting result. The cold exhaust air of the pneumatically driven pump can therefore also be used for cooling or air conditioning of the paint shop, which can significantly reduce the energy required for air conditioning of the paint booth. This is of particular importance because the energy consumption of a paint shop makes up a large proportion of the total energy consumption of a motor vehicle factory.

Die Lackieranlage weist mehrere Farbringleitungen 1-5 auf, in denen Lacke unterschiedlicher Farben zirkulierend gefördert werden, um ein Absetzen der Lacke in den Ringleitungen 1-5 zu verhindern.The paint shop has several colored lines 1-5, in which paints of different colors are circulating promoted to prevent settling of the paints in the loops 1-5.
Die Farbringleitungen 1-5 verlaufen jeweils durch Wärmetauscher 6-10, die beispielsweise als Rohr-in-Rohr-Wärmetauscher ausgeführt sein können und die Aufgabe haben, den Lack in den einzelnen Farbringleitungen 1-5 zu kühlen.The color guide lines 1-5 extend in each case through heat exchangers 6-10, which can be designed, for example, as a tube-in-tube heat exchanger and have the task of cooling the lacquer in the individual color guide lines 1-5.
Die Wärmetauscher 6-10 sind an einen gemeinsamen Kühlkreislauf 11 angeschlossen, der als Kühlmedium Wasser enthält, wobei das Kühlwasser in dem Kühlkreislauf 11 von einer Pumpe 12 im Umlaufbetrieb gefördert wird.The heat exchangers 6-10 are connected to a
