Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrostatic coating product which comprises, among others, a rotating bowl and a plurality of electrodes distributed around the axis of rotation of the bowl.
- the charge phenomenon exploited to direct the droplets or particles towards the object to be coated depends on the creation of an electric current between the electrodes and their environment, in particular the object to be coated and the bowl, by ionization of the air around the electrodes. It is also noted that the droplets or particles leaving the edge of the bowl are charged by influence with a sign opposite to that of the electrical potential applied to the electrode. By for example, if the electrode is brought to a negative potential, the droplets or particles leaving the bowl are positively charged. However, it happens that an electrode begins to get dirty, for example because of the movements of the projector in directions perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the bowl, so that the electrodes penetrate deeply into the cloud of coating product emitted by the bowl and are covered with product.
- the ionization current emitted by the electrodes decreases in intensity because of variations in distance between the projector and the object to be coated or because of an obstacle or a cloud of already charged droplets forming a screen between these electrodes and this object.
- These phenomena are difficult to predict and induce runaway fouling and a sudden decrease in the electrostatic charge of the coating product cloud. Indeed, if the ionization current decreases, the droplets or particles which, when leaving the bowl, are charged with a sign opposite to that of the electrodes, are attracted by these electrodes and tend to come to be deposited thereon and on their mechanical supports. The soiling phenomenon is then carried away and the particles which rapidly cover the electrodes further decrease the ionization current, to the point that the corona charge is stopped. It is then necessary to interrupt the production to clean the electrodes. This requires constant monitoring of the installation because, failing to intervene quickly, the parts to be treated are not properly coated and must be the subject of a recovery procedure, both long and complex.
- the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a new electrostatic external charge coating product whose operation is made reliable.
- the invention relates to an electrostatic projector of externally charged coating product comprising a bowl rotating about an axis of rotation, means for driving the bowl in rotation about this axis, several first electrodes distributed around the axis of rotation. this axis and able to emit each, when the projector operates and at least partly towards an object to be coated, a first ion flow from a first tip, the first points being inscribed in a first centered circle on the axis of rotation and perpendicular to it.
- the projector comprises second electrodes each capable of emitting, when the projector is operating mainly and exclusively towards the edge of the bowl, a second flow of ions of the same sign as the ions of the first flows.
- each second point is disposed, in a plane radial to the axis of rotation, in a dihedron whose origin is on an axis extending a first electrode towards the rear, whose angle at the apex is equal to 90 ° and which is centered on an axis directed towards the edge of the bowl.
- the second electrodes make it possible to create, thanks to the second ion flux, an electrostatic field between their points and the bowl, this electrostatic field being less influenced by external phenomena, whether aeraulic or electrostatic, that the electrostatic field created between the first electrodes and the object to be coated.
- the ionization phenomenon which exists in the vicinity of the second electrodes is more constant than that which exists in the vicinity of the first electrodes.
- the polarity of these droplets or particles is reversed because of their meeting with the current of ions from the second electrodes and this inversion of polarity has the effect that these droplets or particles are repulsed electrostatically by the first and second electrodes that risk less dirty than in known external charging systems.
- such a projector may incorporate one or more of the following features, taken in any technically permissible combination:
- the radius of the second circle is smaller than the radius of the first circle.
- the second tips are offset along the axis of rotation and towards the rear of the projector relative to the first points.
- Each second tip is oriented globally towards the edge of the bowl.
- Each second tip is disposed, in a plane transverse to the axis of rotation, in a dihedron whose origin coincides with the projection of the tip of a first electrode, whose apex angle is equal to 120 °, and which is centered on a radial axis with respect to the axis of rotation, preferably in a dihedron of the same origin and centered on the same straight line whose apex angle is equal to 90 °.
- each second tip In a radial plane to the axis of rotation, each second tip is disposed on the central axis of the dihedron in which it is disposed and in a plane transverse to the axis of rotation, each second tip is disposed on the radial axis central of the dihedron in which it is arranged.
- the projector comprises a plurality of supports each carrying a first electrode and at least a second electrode.
- the electrodes are rectilinear, the first electrode extends along a longitudinal axis of the support and the second electrode extends along an axis perpendicular to this longitudinal axis.
- the projector comprises means for indexing the position of each support in rotation about its longitudinal axis.
- the projector comprises a single second electrode in the vicinity of each first electrode, in particular on the same support.
- the projector comprises a plurality of second electrodes in the vicinity of each first electrode, in particular on the same support.
- the projector comprises third electrodes provided with third points inscribed in a third circle centered on the axis of rotation and perpendicular to it, whose radius is different from those of the first and second circles, these third points being oriented radially outwards with respect to the axis of rotation.
- the invention also relates to a coating product projection installation which comprises at least one projector as mentioned above.

- the installation 1 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a conveyor 2 capable of displacing O objects to be coated along an axis X 2 perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 1.
- the object O moved by the conveyor 2 is a motor vehicle body which is partially shown.
- the installation 1 also comprises a projector 10 of the rotary and electrostatic type, which comprises a bowl 20 forming a liquid coating product spraying member and supported by a body 30 inside which is mounted a drive turbine 40. rotation of the bowl 20 about an axis X10 of the projector 10 which is defined by the body 30.
- the turbine 40 is shown in dashed lines in Figures 1, 3 and 4 by its rotor.
- the body 30 is bent and comprises a rear portion 32 equipped with a mounting plate 34 on a multiaxis robot arm 50 which is partially shown in center lines.
- the front of the projector 10 is defined as its side facing the objects O to be coated.
- the back of the projector 10 is defined as its side turned away from these objects.
- the portion 32 is facing the rear of the projector 10. In operation of the installation 1, a front portion of the projector is closer to the object O being coated a rear portion.
- the body 30 also encloses a high voltage unit 60 which supplies eight electrodes 100 which are each mounted at the end of a finger 1 made of an electrically insulating material.
- A1 10 is the longitudinal axis of a finger 1 10.
- each electrode 100 is rectilinear and extends along the axis X1 10 of the finger 1 10 on which it is mounted.
- the axis A1 10 of a finger 1 10 extends, backwards and from its point 102, the electrode 100 that it supports.
- Each electrode 100 is connected to the high voltage unit 60 by an electric cable 120 which extends inside the corresponding finger 1, along the axis X1.
- the tip 102 of each electrode 100 protrudes from the finger.
- Skirt air outlet openings 36 are provided on the body 30, around the bowl 20 and allow the flow of jets J of shaping air a cloud of droplets G leaving the edge 22 of the bowl 20.
- the electrodes 100 are powered by the unit 60 at high voltage, for example a high negative voltage of between -40 kV and -100 kV, so that the air present around the tips 102 is ionized.
- high voltage for example a high negative voltage of between -40 kV and -100 kV
- an ionisation current 11 is generated whose intensity is generally of the order of 50 microamperes (mA) and which comprises an HA component which flows towards the object O being coated and a component 11 B flowing towards the spraying edge 22 of the bowl 20.
- the droplets G of coating product leaving the edge 22 of the bowl 20 tend to deviate radially from this edge, under the effect of the centrifugal force, to the point where they cross the current. ionization 11, at its component MB, or even at its component H A.
- the droplets G leaving the edge 22 are positively charged by influence, so that they would rather tend to be attracted to the electrodes 100.
- the droplets G change polarity, to the point that they are pushed back by the electrode 100 and follow the electrostatic field which is created by the difference of potential between the electrodes 100 and the object O, which is grounded.
- the electrodes 100 constitute first electrodes which emit an ion flow constituting the ionization current 11, at least partly in the direction of the object O to be coated.
- the tips 102 of the electrodes 100 are distributed over an imaginary circle C100 which is centered on the axis X10 and perpendicular to it.
- R100 is the radius of this circle.
- a cloud N of droplets already negatively charged is pushed back close to an electrode 100, at a distance which may be of the order of 3 cm for example, especially after these droplets bounced against the object O being coated.
- the cloud N makes a screen between this electrode and the target formed by the object O at the earth potential.
- the electrostatic field generated at the tip 102 of the electrode 100 decreases and the ionisation current 11 emitted by this object. electrode decreases. Its intensity decreases, for example up to 7 mA. The same is true when a quantity of coating product starts to settle in the bowl 1 12 which surrounds the tip 102 of this electrode. In this case, the tip 102 of the electrode 100 is less efficient than in the configuration of FIG.
- each finger 1 10 is equipped with a second electrode 200 which extends along an axis A200 perpendicular to the axis A1 10 and whose tip 202 is oriented towards the
- the axis A200 is oriented towards the bowl, more precisely the edge 22, and the electrode 200 is rectilinear.
- a finger 1 10 thus constitutes a mechanical support member and positioning, relative to the body 30 and the bowl 20, an electrode 100 and an electrode 200.
- the electrode 200 is disposed in a transverse orifice 1 1 1 of the finger 1 10 which passes through it in a diameter, while the finger 1 10 is circular section.
- the electrode 200 also passes through an orifice 101 formed in the electrode 100, in the manner of a pin which immobilizes the electrode 100 in axial translation, along the axis A1 10, in the finger 1 10.
- the electrodes 100 and 200 both of which are made of an electrically conductive material such as steel, are in electrical contact with one another and brought to the same potential by the cable 120 connected to the unit 60 .
- a plug 204 closes off each orifice 1 1 1 opposite the tip 202 of the electrode 200 that it contains.
- This plug is made of electrically insulating material, preferably the same as that of the finger 1 10.
- an ionization phenomenon of the air occurs in the vicinity of the tip 202 of each electrode 200, so that an ionization current 12 becomes develops, this current flowing towards the nearest mass, that is to say the edge 22 of the bowl 20.
- the total intensity of the current emitted by a finger 1 10 increases by 10 to 20% compared to the classic configuration. In other words, the sum of the intensities of currents 11 and 12 emitted from the two points 102 and 202 carried by this finger is about 60 ⁇ .
- this ionization current 12 is only slightly disturbed by the possible presence of the obstacle formed by the cloud N of previously charged droplets negatively near the end 1 14 of the finger 1 10 or the fact that a quantity of paint would be deposited in the bowl 1 12 of the finger 1 10.
- the electrostatic field created between each electrode 200 and the bowl 20 is less influenced by the external conditions than that created from an electrode 100. It is said that the electrostatic field at the second electrodes 200 is less "Susceptible" than that at the first electrodes 100. Thus, the ionization phenomenon that takes place from the tips 202 of the electrodes 200 is substantially constant, regardless of the electrostatic and aeraulic environment of the end 1 14.
- the tips 202 of the second electrodes 200 are distributed over a circle C200 which is centered on the axis X10 and perpendicular to it, such as the circle C100.
- R200 is the radius of the circle C200.
- the R100 and R200 are different. More precisely, the radius R200 is smaller than the radius R100. In other words, the tips 202 of the electrodes 200 are situated, radially with respect to the axis X10, inside the tips 102 of the electrodes 100.
- the circles C100 and C200 are shifted along the axis X30 by a distance d100 / 200 non-zero. More precisely, the circle C200 is disposed behind the circle C100. In other words, the electrodes 200 are further away from the objects O being coated than the electrodes 100. Thus, the ionization current 12 and the electrostatic field between the tips 202 and the edge 22 are less subject to disturbances. that the current 11 and the electrostatic field whose peaks 102 are the origin.
- the electrode 200 extends along the axis A200 which is perpendicular to the axis A1 10 and in a direction ⁇ 200 which is directed towards the 22 edge of the bowl 20.
- the tip 202 of an electrode 200 may be located, in the plane of FIG. 5, inside the dihedral D200, being effective for generating an electrostatic field and a constant ion current in the direction of the electrode. 22 edge, even if the direction ⁇ 200 does not rigorously target the edge 22.
- the tip 202 of a second electrode 200 may be located, relative to the finger 1 10 on which it is mounted, in a volume in the form of an ellipsoid or truncated cone which is centered on the axis A200 and diverging towards the ridge 22.
- the effectiveness of the second electrodes 200 is reinforced by the fact that their tips 202 are directed globally towards the bowl 20. It is therefore necessary to ensure that each of these electrodes is correctly positioned in a radial direction by relative to the axis A1 10 of the finger 1 10 on which it is mounted.
- each of the fingers 1 10 of the projector 10 is sometimes necessary to disassemble the fingers 1 10 of the projector 10 for maintenance operations.
- the mounting of each of the fingers 1 10 on the body 30 ensures a satisfactory orientation by indexing means of each finger 1 10 in rotation about its axis A1 10.
- each finger 1 10 comprises a flange 1 16 which extends radially outwards, while its second end 1 18, opposite the end 1 14 which carries the bowl 1 12, is provided with of a blind housing 1 19. Furthermore, a base 130 is immobilized on the body 30 and this base is equipped with a pin 132 intended to be engaged in the blind housing 1 19 of the finger 1 10 when the finger is mounted on the body 30.
- a nut 140 is provided with an internal thread 142 and an internal shoulder 144 intended to respectively engage with an external tapping 134 of the base 130 and with the collar 1 16, so as to exert on the end 1 18 a force E140 directed parallel to the axis A1 10 and which plates the end 1 18 against the base 130, when the nut 140 is screwed on this base.
- the pin 132 is locked in the housing 1 19 and prevents an inadvertent rotation of the finger 1 10 about its axis A1 10.
- the pin 132 and the housing 1 19 thus allow to index the finger 1 10 rotating about the axis A1 10, in a position where the electrode 200 is actually turned towards the bowl 20.
- each finger 1 10 is equipped, in the vicinity of an electrode 100, with two electrodes 200 and 200 'similar to the electrode 200 of the first embodiment and whose tips 202 and 202' are arranged , systematically with respect to a radial plane P200 with respect to the axis X30 and containing the axis A1 10, within a dihedral D300 defined as in the first embodiment.
- the finger 1 10 is equipped with a first electrode 100 whose tip 102 is visible in this figure, as well as a second electrode 200 whose tip 202 is also visible and which extends in a dihedral D300 defined as in the first embodiment.
- This finger 100 is also equipped with three electrodes 300 whose tips 302 are located radially outside the circle C100 and which are distributed over two circles C300 and C'300 whose radii R300 and R'300 are greater than the radius R100 defined as in the first embodiment.
- the circles C300 and C'300 are centered on the axis X10 and perpendicular to it.
- the electrodes C300 are used to repel droplets of coating product that could return to the surface of the bar 1 10 facing away from the bowl 20, in particular because of the movements of the projector 10 within a cloud of droplets in progress. projection to an object O.
- the second electrodes 200 and possibly 200 'or even the third electrodes 300 are carried by the fingers 1 10 which also bear the first electrodes 100.
- the electrodes 100 are carried by fingers 1 10, while the electrodes 200 are carried by fingers 210 separate from the fingers 100.
- This allows the electrodes 200 to be positioned independently of the electrodes 100 and, where appropriate , to have an electrode number 200 different from the number of electrodes 100 as in the example of Figure 10 where only four fingers 210 are provided, while eight fingers 1 10 are used.
- eight fingers 210 can be used, the fingers 210 then alternating regularly with the fingers 1 10.
- the invention has been described above in the case of a liquid coating product projector. It is also applicable to a rotating electrostatic projector with external charge of powder coating product.
