These are arranged adjacent to one another such that the outlet connections 20 of the first supply module 34.1 point to the supply units 12 of the adjacent supply module 34.2. If a third supply module 34.3 were present, the outlet connections 20 of this second supply module 34.2 would point to the supply units 12 of the adjacent supply module 34.3. In other words, the axes of the outlet connections 20 of the supply units 12 of all the supply modules 34 lie in the plane E.
- the individual supply modules 34 are arranged one above the other in the vertical direction, but also a horizontal arrangement of the supply modules 34 next to one another is practicable, with the outlet connections 20 of the supply units 12 then pointing to the side.
- the coupling unit 36 can, for example, be moved from one supply module 34 to the next at one of the ends of the supply module 34 in the plane E. A part of the possible trajectory of the coupling unit 36 is indicated in Figure 14 by a dashed line.
- a supply unit 12 may also be omitted from a supply module 34 so that the coupling unit 36 can be moved through the passage thus obtained.
- the coupling unit 36 may be displaceably mounted, for example, in a rail system, are connected to the guide rails parallel to the supply module 34 by cross rails, so that a transition between the guide rails is possible.
- the positioning movement direction 140 is a first positioning movement direction of the coupling unit 36, which can also be moved by the positioning device 138 in a second positioning movement direction 144 with a movement component perpendicular to the first positioning movement direction 140 stands.
- the first positioning movement direction 140 and the second positioning movement direction 144 are perpendicular to one another.
- the two positioning Nier-directions of movement 140, 144 of the coupling unit 36 lie ⁇ gen then in the common plane E in which the coupling 142 is the direction of movement. In both positioning movement directions 140, 144, the movement of the coupling unit 36 takes place on a linear trajectory.
- Figure 15 shows a coating system 2 with a further modified changing device 10, which is designed as a circulating change unit.
- the application device 4, the pig station 8 and the flushing agent reservoir 32 at the pig station 8 and the reservoirs 28 and 30 and the actuator gate device 128 are also not shown there for the sake of clarity.
- the supply units 12 are arranged in the supply module 34 according to this embodiment in the plane E circular, so that a supply drum 146 is formed.
- the outlet ports 20, i. in the present case, the connection plates 48 of the individual supply units 12 are directed radially inward, with the axis of the respective passage channels 54 of the connection plates 48 intersecting the center of the circuit formed by the supply units 12.
- five supply units 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4 and 12.5 are shown.
- the coupling unit 36 is arranged offset radially inwards relative to the supply units 12, their input connection 44 facing radially outward.
- the coupling unit 36 can be moved by means of the positioning device 138 in the positioning movement direction 140 on a circular path whose center is identical to the center of the circle which is described by the supply units 12.
- the actuator device 128 (not shown in FIG. 15) can engage the actuator sleeve 120 of the bolt head 42, for example, in front of or behind the plane of the drawing in this exemplary embodiment.
- the coupling unit 36 may for example be arranged on a Drehele ⁇ ment such as a turntable, which is mounted coaxially with and adjacent to the supply drum 146 and can be rotated by means of known per se drive means.
- the supply tion units 12 are moved relative to the coupling unit 36.
- the coupling unit 36 may also be arranged radially outside the supply drum 134 and have their input terminal 44 radially inward. In this case, the supply units 12 are aligned so that their outlet port 20 point radially outward.
- the coupling unit 36 When the coupling unit 36 is coupled to one of the supply units 12, the coupling unit 36 is again moved in a coupling movement direction 142. Also in the present embodiment, this coupling movement is linear, pointing in the direction of one of the supply units 12 and is illustrated in Figures 14 with an arrow 142.1, 142.2, 142.3, 142.4 and 142.5 for each supply unit shown 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, 12.5 ,
- the coupling directions 142.1, 142.2, 142.3, 142.4 and 142.5 are different from each other and have, depending on which supply unit 12 of the supply module 34 is to be coupled, in different radial directions.
- both the positioning movement direction 140 and the coupling movement direction 142 in the common plane E which also corresponds to the drawing plane in Figure 15 and in which the supply units 12 of the supply module 34 are arranged.
- the coupling unit 36 can not be moved in a direction which is perpendicular to this plane E also in this embodiment only.
- two or more supply drums 146 with several supply units 12 and the same diameters may be arranged coaxially one behind the other.
- the positioning device 138 for the coupling unit 36 is set up in this way. tet that the coupling unit 36 can also be moved in the supply drums 146 axis-parallel directions, so that they can be moved from one supply drum 146 to another and back again.
- two or more rings with supply units 12 with different diameters can be arranged coaxially and in the common plane E.
- a plurality of annular supply drums 146 with different diameters available.
- the distance between two supply units 12 can be selected to be large enough at one or more points that the coupling unit 36 can pass through this passage to the radially outer ring and thus cooperate with the supply units 12 there.
- the coupling unit 36 for example, on the above-mentioned rotary member additionally be movable in a radially extending guide rail, so that the coupling unit 36 can be positioned both on the circular path and in the radial direction.
- the positioning movement direction 140 along the circular path is then again a first positioning movement direction of the coupling unit 36, which can also be moved by the positioning device 138 in a second positioning movement direction with a movement component which is perpendicular to the first positioning movement direction 140.
- perpendicular means that the second positioning movement direction extends radially to this circular path.
- the first positioning movement direction 140 and the second positioning movement direction are perpendicular to each other.
- the the positioning movement directions of the coupling unit 36, in general terms at least one positioning movement direction, and the coupling movement direction 142 of the coupling unit 36 are then in the common plane E.
- the coupling unit 36 is movable only in a plane E, in which the coupling movement direction 142 is located.
- Two changing devices 10 described above can also be operated in parallel in a coating system 2. In comparison with a coating system 2 with only one changing device 10 then a color change can be done faster. While lacquer from the reservoir 28.2 is applied, for example, via a first changing device 10, a second changing device 10 and its line 6 can already be rinsed up to the pig station 8. After this rinsing process, the next paint, for example from the reservoir 28.1, can then be submitted to the pig station 8. The section of the line 6 between the pig station 8 and the application device 4 can be rinsed via the pig station 8 in a color change with detergent from the detergent reservoir 32.
