Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a skirt for a rotary coating product sprayer, of the type comprising a plurality of air ejection nozzles formed in said skirt for ejecting air jets forming a shaping air suitable for shaping the jet of air. coating product, said air ejection nozzles comprising at least one series of nozzles consisting of a plurality of air ejection nozzles fluidly connected to a common supply chamber, specific to said series of nozzles.
  • a rotary coating product spraying projector comprises a spray member rotating at high speed under the effect of a rotating drive system, such as a compressed air turbine.
  • Such a spraying member generally has the shape of a bowl with symmetry of revolution and it comprises at least one spraying edge capable of forming a spray of coating product.
  • the rotary projector also comprises a fixed body housing the rotary drive system as well as means for supplying the spray member with coating product.
  • the jet of coating product sprayed through the edge of the rotating member has a generally conical shape which depends on parameters such as the speed of rotation of the bowl and the flow rate of coating product.
  • the rotary projectors of the prior art are generally equipped with several air ejection nozzles formed in a skirt covering the body of the projector and arranged on a circle which is centered on the axis of symmetry of the bowl and which is located on the outer rim of the bowl.
  • the air ejection nozzles are intended to emit air jets together forming an air for shaping the product jet.
  • This shaping air which is sometimes called “skirt air”, makes it possible to conform the jet of product, in particular to adjust the width of this jet, as a function of the desired application.
  • Such a rotating projector is known for example from EP 2 328 689 .
  • a drawback of known rotary projectors is that they do not allow the product jet width to be varied over a large amplitude without changing the skirt.
  • the variation in jet width is thus generally of an amplitude of between 50 and 300 mm or between 300 and 500 mm. If you want to be able to cover the entire spectrum ranging from 50 to 500 mm, it is necessary to change the skirt, which requires complex operations and in particular the prior stopping of the rotary projector.
  • Known rotating projectors do not allow this flexibility, the production lines used in the automotive industry generally integrate two paint booths: a first, dedicated to painting bodywork interiors, comprising a paint projector adapted to make a width of narrow jet, and a second, dedicated to painting bodywork exteriors, comprising a paint projector adapted to make a wide jet width.
  • This double equipment in painting booths is costly, both in terms of machine equipment, building space and energy required for the operation of the installation.
  • An objective of the invention is thus to make it possible, with the same rotary projector, to project a coating product either in a wide jet or in a narrow jet, without having to change the skirt of the rotary projector.
  • the invention relates to a skirt for a rotary projector of the aforementioned type, in which the air ejection nozzles comprise at least three distinct series of nozzles, the air ejection nozzles comprising a first group. of nozzles, constituted by at least a first series of nozzles among the series of nozzles, and a second group of nozzles, constituted by at least a second series of nozzles among the series of nozzles, the or each first series of nozzles being distinct from the or each second series of nozzles, the first group of nozzles being such that when the or each first series of nozzles is supplied with air, the nozzles of the or each first series of nozzles eject first jets of air together forming a first shaping air adapted to conform the spray of coating material tightly, and the second group of nozzles being such that, when the or each second set of nozzles is supplied with air, the nozzles of the or every second set nozzles eject second air jets together
