Definitions

  • the invention relates to an application method and an application system for applying a coating agent (e.g. paint, sealant, release agent, adhesive, functional layer) to a component (e.g. a motor vehicle body part).
  • a coating agent e.g. paint, sealant, release agent, adhesive, functional layer
  • component e.g. a motor vehicle body part
  • a coating method is known in which a jet of droplets of the coating agent is generated, which impinges on the component surface to be coated.
  • the droplet disintegration of the initially continuous jet of coating agent is specifically forced by coupling in vibrations so that the disintegration length of the jet of coating agent is smaller than the painting distance, ie the distance between the application device and the component surface.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of creating a correspondingly improved application method and a corresponding application system.
  • the invention preferably includes the general technical teaching, the droplet decay does not - as in DE 10 2010 019 612 A1 - to specifically force through a vibration coupling, but to use the continuous area of the coating medium jet for coating.
  • the application distance i.e. the distance between the outlet opening of the application device on the one hand and the component surface to be coated on the other hand
  • the application distance is therefore chosen to be smaller than the decay length of the coating agent jet, ie the length of the continuous area of the coating agent jet between the outlet opening of the application device on the one hand and the end of the continuous area at the transition to droplet collapse.
  • a jet of coating agent is therefore emitted from an application device in accordance with the prior art described at the outset, with the jet of coating agent initially having a continuous area in the jet direction after exiting the application device until a decay length is reached, whereupon the jet of coating agent then after the Decay length after exiting the application device according to the laws of nature ("natural decay according to Rayleigh") into droplets which are separated from one another in the direction of the jet.
  • the term of a coating medium jet used in the context of the invention includes both one and several coating medium jets, but for the sake of simplicity only the singular form is used below.
  • the jet of coating agent is to be distinguished from a mist of coating agent, such as that emitted by conventional rotary atomizers.
  • the jet of coating medium according to the invention is characterized by a continuous cross section, a small widening angle compared to an atomized mist and a very small lateral extension, which is particularly important when painting a detail.
  • the application method according to the invention provides in accordance with the prior art described at the outset that the application device is positioned relative to the component to be coated (e.g. motor vehicle body part) with a certain application distance between the application device and the component, so that the coating agent jet hits the component strikes and coats the component.
  • the component to be coated e.g. motor vehicle body part
  • the component it is also possible for the component to be coated over its entire surface with the coating agent, in that the jet of coating agent travels over the component surface in several paths lying next to one another or overlapping.
  • the application method differs from the prior art described at the outset in that the application distance is selected to be smaller than the disintegration length of the coating agent jet, so that the coating agent jet impinges on the component with its coherent area.
  • the application distance is selected to be smaller than the disintegration length of the coating agent jet, so that the coating agent jet impinges on the component with its coherent area.
  • coating agent used in the context of the invention is to be understood in general terms and includes, for example, paint (e.g. base paint, clear paint), sealant, release agent, functional layer and adhesive. In a preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention, however, detail painting is provided, with a paint being applied.
  • the functional layer category includes all layers that result in surface functionalization, such as adhesion promoters, primers, stone chip protection or layers to reduce transmission.
  • the jet of coating agent must apply a pattern to the component, such as a stripe (eg design stripe, decorative stripe).
  • a pattern used in the context of the invention is generally understood and not limited to stripes.
  • the pattern may also be a graphic such as a silhouette of a prancing horse on a hood or a checkered flag on a roof surface of an automobile body.
  • a pattern with sharp edges can be achieved, which is important for a high-quality appearance.
  • the term of a pattern with sharp edges used in the context of the invention means that the edge of the pattern has only very small deviations from a predetermined edge profile, which are smaller than 3 mm, 1 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.2 mm or even 0.1mm
  • the term of a pattern with sharp edges used in the context of the invention also means that no coating material spatters hit the component surface outside of the coated pattern.
  • the application method according to the invention is also suitable for flat component coating.
  • the jet of coating agent can be run over the component several times, with a coating agent web being applied in each case.
  • numerous parallel lines of coating medium can be applied by means of a meandering guidance of the coating medium jet.
  • the individual coating material webs do not run into one another, but instead form two or more separate strips in the finished state.
  • the term "pattern" used within the scope of the invention preferably refers to a strip that is applied to the component surface.
  • extremely narrow strips can advantageously be applied which have a width of less than 1 m, 10 cm, 5 cm, 2 cm, 1 cm, 5 mm, 2 mm, 1 mm, 400 ⁇ m or even less than 200 ⁇ m can have.

  • the application device not only emits a single jet of coating medium, but several jets of coating medium, which are aligned essentially parallel to one another.
  • the distance between the immediately adjacent jets of coating agent is preferably so large that the immediately adjacent jets of coating agent do not unite between the application device and the component, but rather impinge on the surface of the component as separate jets of coating medium, but still unite on the component to form one surface.
  • a plurality of application nozzles are provided for dispensing the individual jets of coating medium, which nozzles have a specific inner diameter and are arranged at a specific nozzle spacing.
  • the nozzle spacing between the immediately adjacent application nozzles is preferably at least three, four times or six times the inside diameter of the nozzle.
  • the individual application nozzles are preferably arranged together in a perforated plate, which enables cost-effective production.
  • the invention provides that the individual application nozzles or areas with a plurality of nozzles can be controlled independently of one another, so that the jets of coating medium emerging from the individual application nozzles have different operating parameters.
  • the exit speed of the coating agent from the application nozzles or the type of coating agent can be set individually for the individual application nozzles or areas.

  • the relative movement between the application device and the component to be coated can be achieved by moving both the application device and the component to be coated.
  • the application device is moved relative to the component over the component surface, so that the coating agent jet travels a path with its point of impact on the component surface, which is then coated with the coating agent.
  • the jet of coating medium is briefly switched off or interrupted while the path is being traced on the component surface and then switched on again or continued, so that the traced path on the component surface has a gap that is not coated with the coating medium.
  • the jet of coating medium can be moved so slowly over the component surface and switched on or off so quickly that a spatial resolution of finer than 5 mm, 2 mm or 1 mm is achieved on the component. This is particularly advantageous when painting a detail of a sample.
  • An advantage of the application method according to the invention is the avoidance of overspray or the increase in application efficiency, i.e. the proportion of the applied coating agent that is actually deposited on the component surface.
  • the jet of coating medium is therefore preferably only switched on when the jet of coating medium actually impinges on the component surface.
  • the application device is therefore preferably moved towards the edge in the lateral direction with the coating agent jet switched off.
  • the jet of coating agent is only switched on when the application device is over the edge, so that the jet of coating agent that is switched on then actually hits the component.
  • the application device is then moved over the component to be coated along the component surface to be coated in order to apply a corresponding path of the coating agent.
  • the jet of coating agent is switched off again when the application device is moved over a lateral edge of the component to be coated, since the jet of coating agent would then no longer hit the component surface.
  • the spatial positions of the component to be coated and the application device are preferably detected in order to be able to derive from this whether the coating agent jet would impinge on the component surface.
  • the jet of coating agent is then preferably switched off when the detected positions of the component and application device indicate that the jet of coating agent would not hit the component surface.
  • the jet of coating agent can preferably only be switched on if the detected positions of the component and application device indicate that the jet of coating agent would actually hit the surface of the component.

  • the application method according to the invention also enables a relatively high area coating performance of at least 0.5 m 2 /min, 1 m 2 /min or 3 m 2 /min.
  • the surface coating performance can be increased in almost any way by increasing the number of application nozzles in the application device accordingly.
  • the volume flow of the applied coating agent and thus the exit speed of the coating agent are therefore preferably adjusted in such a way that the coating agent does not bounce off the component after it has hit the component.
