- the lip is preferably designed as a separate, in particular plate-shaped, part. You can z. B. be fastened by means of a fastener on one of the two nozzle blocks. Optionally, the lip could too be inseparably connected to the nozzle block when z. B. is an integral part of the nozzle block or welded thereto.
- the two nozzle blocks have an inner side facing the respective other nozzle block, and the lip is a plate-shaped part which is arranged on the inner side of one of the two nozzle blocks.
- the aforementioned actuators for actuating the lip are preferably mounted on one of the two nozzle blocks. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, they are mounted on the same nozzle block on which the lip is arranged.
- the aforementioned engine-transmission unit preferably comprises an electric motor.
- a spindle gear can be used, which preferably comprises a plurality of spindles, the z. B. via a belt or chain drive, are driven synchronously.
- the spindles of the spindle gear for example, be rotatably mounted in one of the nozzle blocks and engage the other nozzle block by thread, so that the latter is pulled closer depending on the direction of rotation or pushed further away.
- the motor-gear unit is designed such that the first nozzle block relative to the second
- Nozzle block can be adjusted.
- the actuators are in this case
- the actuators are preferably arranged on a side of the lip opposite the slot-shaped outlet opening. In order to reduce the gap width, a force acting against the lip pressure force is applied, and to the To increase gap width, the compressive force is reduced, or it is applied a tensile force.
- the actuators arranged along the slot-shaped outlet opening are preferably designed as piezoactuators, which each comprise one or more piezoelements. Is an electrical voltage to the individual
- Piezo elements applied, they perform a movement in their longitudinal direction, whereby a forward or backward movement of the lip in the direction of the gap width can be initiated.
- the piezoactuators preferably each comprise a plurality of piezoelectric elements and may, for example, be designed as they are in the German
- Patent Application No. 10 2015 1 19 81 6.9 are described.
- Patent Application No. 10 2015 1 19 81 6.9 are described.
- the actuators are arranged closer to the gap-shaped outlet opening than the motor-gear unit.
- the actuators are preferably in the immediate vicinity of
- the lip is preferably formed as a plate-shaped element. It is preferably dimensioned so that they are in height from the
- the lip extends substantially over the entire height of the two nozzle blocks between the nozzle blocks. Between the lip and the nozzle block to which it is attached is as
- Intermediate layer preferably arranged an elastic seal.
- the actuators are preferably in series along the slit-shaped
- the distance between two adjacent actuators is preferably between 20 mm and 100 mm, and in particular between 50 mm and 70 mm.
- the curtain nozzle according to the invention preferably also comprises a controller which is designed such that the individual actuators can each be controlled individually or possibly also jointly. This makes it possible to vary the gap width at different portions of the gap to
- FIG. 1 is a perspective rear view of a curtain nozzle according to a
- FIG. 2 is a front perspective view of the curtain nozzle of FIG. 1;
- FIG. Fig. 3 is a side view of the curtain nozzle of Fig. 1; and
- FIG. 4 is a side cross-sectional view of the curtain nozzle of FIG. 1.
- FIGS. 1 to 3 show various views of a curtain nozzle 1 for coating a substrate with a coating agent.
- the curtain nozzle 1 here comprises a first nozzle block 2 and a second nozzle block 3, between which a lip 4 and an adjacent, gap-shaped
- Outlet opening 5 are provided.
- curtain nozzle With such a curtain nozzle usually layered materials such. As a paper or film web coated on its surface.
- the gap-shaped outlet opening 5 of the curtain nozzle 1 is directed downward, so that the coating agent exits under the action of gravity through the gap 5 and falls in the form of a curtain on a passing under the curtain nozzle 1 passing substrate. Therefore, this method is also referred to as "curtain coating.”
- a cover 8 is provided on the front sides of the nozzle blocks 2, 3, which seals the gap between the nozzle blocks 2, 3.
- the second nozzle block 3 is fixed connected to the cover 8.
- the first nozzle block 2 however, via plain bearing 6 with the
- Nozzle blocks 2, 3 can be adjusted.
- a motor-gear unit 1 1 is provided with an electric motor 9, which serves to roughly adjust the gap width.
- the fine adjustment of the gap width by means of a plurality of actuators 10, which are arranged along the gap 5 in series.
- the individual actuators 10 act on a between the nozzle blocks 2, 3 arranged lip 4, which can be moved back and forth in the direction of the gap width and thus increases or decreases the gap width.
- 4 shows a lateral cross-sectional view of the curtain nozzle of FIGS. 1 to 3, in which the function and arrangement of the individual drives 10, 11 are clearly visible.
- a motor-gear unit 1 1 which has an electric motor 9 and a spindle gear with a plurality of spindles 12.
- Embodiment two rows of spindles are provided, each comprising a plurality of spindles 12, which are distributed over substantially the entire length of the curtain nozzle. As a result, a uniform parallel guidance of the first nozzle block 2 with respect to the second nozzle block 2 can be achieved.
- the spindles 12 are z. B. via a belt or chain drive from
- Electric motor 9 driven synchronously.
- the spindles 12 are rotatably mounted here in the second nozzle block 3 and protrude through the lip 4 into the first nozzle block 2, where they engage with their external thread on an internal thread of the first nozzle block 2.
- the first nozzle block 2 moves away from or towards the second nozzle block 3, depending on the direction of rotation, whereby the gap width can be roughly adjusted.
- the motor-gear unit 1 1, for example, be designed so that the gap width can be varied between 0.05 mm and 1 mm.
- Nozzle block mounted, but at least in the region of the outlet opening 5 elastically deformable, so that it can be elastically deformed in the direction of the first nozzle block 1.
- the outlet opening 5 At a high pressure force, it moves in the direction of the first Nozzle block 2, whereby the outlet opening 5 is narrower. If the compressive force of the piezo actuators decreases, it automatically moves back to its original position due to its residual stress.
- the piezo actuators 10 it is therefore possible to adjust the gap width at the outlet opening 5, for example by a few ⁇ or tenths of a millimeter. The coating rate and the quality of the coating can thus be set very accurately.
