Description

DESCRIPTION APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ELECTROSTATIC POWDER COATING TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to an apparatus and method for electrostatic powder coating for use in the recoating of automobiles, electric washers, electric refrigerators, distributing panels, pipes, etc.
BACKGROUND ART When coating an uncoated object, an electrostatic powder coating gun (hereinafter referred to simply as a "gun") is usually used at 80 KV.
However, in the case of an operation generally called recoating, in which electrostatic coating is additionally performed on a baking-finished or semi-baking-finished surface, the surface to be coated is an insulating layer, so that when the gun is used at an ordinary voltage, the electric potential of the surface increases to cause back ionization, resulting in the formation of a crater.
Conventionally, the above problem has been dealt with by reducing the gun voltage during recoating to, for example, 40 to 60 KV, or increasing the amount of powder coating material discharged.
The above conventional measures have a problem in that they involve tedious adjustments and limitations in recoating layer thickness.
For example, in the case of a surface having a surface layer thickness of 60 Am, recoating thereon is possible to a thickness of 40cam at the most. A recoating to a thickness beyond this thickness will result in back ionization.
Further, when uncoated objects and baking-finished objects are to be coated in the same production line, it is necessary to adjust the voltage and the amount of discharged coating material in accordance with whether the objects to be coated have a baking-finish coating layer or not, so that a special operator for doing the above is required, thereby making it difficult to automate the line.
In view of the above problems, it is an object of this invention to prevent back ionization when performing electrostatic coating on a baking-finished surface. Another object of this invention is to make it possible to perform electrostatic powder coating on uncoated objects and bakingfinished objects in the same production line and under the same conditions.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION In accordance with this invention, there are provided: conveying means for conveying uncoated objects to be coated and baking-finished objects to be coated; an electrostatic powder coating gun opposed to the conveying means; and corona discharge means to which a voltage having a polarity opposite to that of the gun is applied and which is arranged on the upstream side of the gun and opposed to the conveying means. When a baking-finished object to be coated is conveyed to a position in front of the corona discharge means, a voltage having a polarity opposite to that of the gun is applied to the corona discharge electrode of the corona discharge means, with the result that the electric potential of the surface of the baking-finished object to be coated attains an electric potential that has a polarity opposite to that of the gun.
The object to be coated is conveyed in this condition to a position in front of the gun and, at the same time, an electrostatic powder coating material, which is charged by the gun, is electrostatically applied to the baking-finished surface of the object to be coated.
At this time, ions having a polarity opposite to that of the ions of the powder coating material are on the baking-finished surface of the object, so that the two types of ions neutralize each other.
Therefore, even when an ordinary level of voltage is being applied to the gun, the electric potential of the baking-finished surface to be coated does not become high enough to cause back ionization.
When an object to be coated which no has coating layer is conveyed to the position in front of the discharge means, corona ions generated by the discharge means will migrate to the surface of the object to be coated. However, since the surface of the object is grounded, the charge flows away, and the object to be coated is conveyed to the position in front of the gun to undergo electrostatic coating.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a front view showing a first embodiment of the present invention; Fig. 2 is an enlarged view showing an object to be recoated as shown in Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is an enlarged view showing an original-surface object to be coated as shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of the present invention; and Fig 5 is a perspective view showing a third embodiment of the present invention.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The first embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 through 3.
An electrostatic powder coating apparatus 1 comprises an electrostatic powder coating gun 2, a corona discharge device 3, and a conductive belt conveyor 4. The electrostatic powder coating gun (hereinafter referred to simply as the "gun) 2, which is arranged in the central section of a cover 5 and directed downwards, is made reciprocable by means of a reciprocator 7.
The cover 5 has an inlet and an outlet, each of which is provided with an exhaust duct 6.
The corona discharge device 3 is arranged on the upstream side of the gun 2, and is equipped with a highvoltage generator 10 and a corona pin (a corona discharge electrode) 11.
The corona pin 11 is made reciprocable by a reciprocator 12. The conductive belt conveyor 4, which conveys objects to be coated 20 and 30, is grounded through a rotating device 21.
Each of the objects to be coated 20 consists of an uncoated iron plate 20a, i.e., a so-called original-surface object, whereas each of the objects to be coated 30 consists of an iron plate 20a and a baking-finish coating layer 30a formed thereon, i.e., a so-called object to be recoated.
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
A predetermined voltage, for example, a negative voltage of 80 KV, is applied to the gun 2 and, at the same time, a voltage having a polarity opposite to that of the gun 2, i.e., a positive voltage, is applied to the corona pin 11 of the corona discharge device 3. Then, the conductive belt conveyor 4 is driven to convey the objects to be coated 20 and 30, placed at intervals thereon, in the direction indicated by an arrow A4.
When an object to be coated 30 is brought to a position under the corona discharge device 3, the baking-finish coating layer 30a of the object is subjected to corona discharge to attain positive polarity, so that its surface electric potential increases.
The surface electric potential at this time, which is appropriately determined, preferably ranges from 200 V to 3 KV. This surface electric potential can be controlled by varying the applied voltage, discharge distance and discharge time.
When, during corona discharge, the reciprocator 12 is driven to reciprocate the corona pin 11, the surface electric potential is made uniform, resulting in an improved film thickness distribution.
Next, the object to be coated 30 is brought to a position under the gun 2 and, at the same time, powder coating material 40, which is negatively charged, is electrostatically applied to the object to form a coating layer 50 thereon.
In this process, the positive surface electric potential, that is, the + ions, are balanced by the voltage applied to the gun 2, that is, the - ions, to be neutralized, so that the coating layer surface does not attain an electric potential high enough to cause back ionization. Therefore, the coating layer 50 obtained is free from craters. Moreover, the coating layer is tight and stable. Accordingly, the coating layer can be finished satisfactorily and, further, separation of coating material during transfer, etc. can be prevented.
Further, it is not necessary to reduce the voltage of the electrostatic powder coating gun 2 as required in the prior art, so that no deterioration in coating efficiency is involved.
In the coating of an object to be coated 20, the gun 2 and the corona discharge device 3 are operated under the same conditions as those in the case of the object 30.
However, an object 20, which is an original-surface object, is grounded, so that if corona discharge is effected thereon by the corona discharge device 3, the + corona ions (the positive charge) will flow away.
In view of this, the electrostatic coating of an object 20 is conducted in the same manner as in the case of direct coating by the gun, without making use of the corona discharge device.
In this way, electrostatic coating can be performed under the same conditions irrespective of whether the objects to be coated 20 and 30 have baking-finish coating layers or not, so that the coating operation can be easily automated.
The second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 4.
An electrostatic powder coating apparatus 70 comprises an electrostatic powder coating gun 2, a corona discharge device 3, and an overhead conveyor 61.
The corona discharge device 3 is provided on the upstream side of the gun 2, and is equipped with a highvoltage generator 10 and a corona pin (a corona discharge electrode) 11.
The gun 2 and the corona pin 11 can be vertically reciprocated by a reciprocator 7. The overhead conveyor 61, which conveys objects to be coated 60, is grounded.
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
A predetermined voltage, for example, a negative voltage of 80 KV, is applied to the gun 2 and, at the same time, a voltage having a polarity opposite to that of the gun 2, that is, a positive voltage, is applied to the corona pin 11 of the corona discharge device 3. Then, the overhead conveyor 61 is driven to convey the objects to be coated 60, which are suspended from hangers at intervals, in the direction indicated by an arrow A4.
The surface electric potential at this time, which is appropriately determined, preferably ranges from 200 V to 3 KV. This surface electric potential can be controlled by varying the applied voltage, discharge distance and discharge time.
Then, each object to be coated 60 is brought to a position in front of the gun 2, and powder coating material 40, which is negatively charged, is electrostatically applied to the object to form a coating layer 50 thereon.
In this process, the positive surface electric potential, that is, the + ions, are balanced by the voltage applied to the gun 2, that is, the - ions, so that the coating layer surface does not attain an electric potential high enough to cause back discharge. Therefore, the coating layer 50 obtained is free from craters. Moreover, the coating layer is tight and stable. Accordingly, the coating layer can be finished satisfactorily and, further, separation of coating material during transfer, etc. can be prevented.
Further, it is not necessary to reduce the voltage of the electrostatic powder coating gun 2 as required in the prior art, so that no deterioration in coating efficiency is involved.
Symbol UF indicates a powder coating material feeding device for supplying the gun 2 with powder coating material.
The third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 5. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a plurality of corona pins 11 are arranged on a corona discharge device 104 and that only objects to be recoated 30 are processed. The plurality of corona pins 11 are arranged along a dimension perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension of the conductive belt conveyor 4, at intervals, for example, of 150 mm. In this embodiment, ions having a polarity opposite to that of the ewectrostatic powder coating gun 2 adhere to the entire surface to be coated of each object to be recoated 30, so that the surface electric potential of each object to be coated is uniform. Accordingly, an improvement in coating film thickness distribution is achieved.
The embodiments of this invention are not restricted to the above-described ones. For example, when powder coating is performed on an iron plate on which coating and drying (baking) have been repeated several times, as in the case of the coating of an automobile body, it is possible to convey the object to be coated on a conveyor extending through a cover and to mount a corona discharge device and a gun on a single reciprocator to arrange them on the upstream and downstream sides, respectively, with respect to the conveying direction of the conveyor, recovering the overspray powder by means of a hopper provided on the bottom surface of the cover.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, the method and apparatus for electrostatic powder coating of the present invention can be widely used in the recoating of automobiles, electric washers, electric refrigerators, distributing panels, pipes, etc.
