Description

The present invention relates to a paint shed designed for small and medium-sized vehicle repair painting operations.
The object of the present invention is to optimize the working time, move it, so it can be used in different enclosed places, integrated all the elements necessary to perform the repair work, The purpose is to develop a versatile work cabin (cabin).

  Currently, there are several systems on the market for performing painting work as repairs for small to medium sized vehicles. Among them, vehicles (such as automobiles) and mobile equipment that can be brought close to the vehicle, sucks contaminated air generated in the area, filters the paint, retains the solvent and returns the air to the work place The old paint cabin oven that needs to be put inside. These systems consist of a three-sided suction box that returns clean air to the workplace via an air-injected plenum located at the top.

  Another system consists of a fixedly installed suction box containing paint and activated carbon filter. The activated carbon filter is connected to a kind of mask material attached to an automobile by a hose, through which contaminated air generated during painting is sucked.

  In both devices, the first one is mobile and the second is stationary, but the release of air out of the premises results in only suction and air purification. A certain kind of mobility is secured by this mask material connected to the hose.

  The mobile paint shed of the present invention is applicable to privately owned passenger cars, industrial vehicles and other paints, and includes a repair module, air suction (machine), filter means, drying means and lighting means in a single module, That is, (or) it is integrated into one piece of furniture. The module comprises roller elements (small wheels) that allow movement and therefore facilitate application to different vehicles.

  In this way, the use of a paint hut is not limited to a fixed location, and the start of painting work on a new vehicle does not have to be subject to any restrictions (constraints) due to the occupation of the painting work space by another vehicle. Use and working time optimization is achieved. As its name suggests, this shed can be moved so that it can be used in different locations with different vehicles.

  Therefore, by integrating all necessary equipment (equipment) in the mobile module, it is possible to perform all painting operations relating to small and medium-scale repairs quickly and simply.

  The air suction and filter means integrated in the module are an internal centrifugal fan operated by an electric motor and a suction screen, through which air is sucked and residual vapor is sucked and sprayed as a paint action ( A suction screen for spraying) and filter means. The filter means preferably comprises several combined filters and an activated carbon bed for filtering air, usually afterwards, preferably via an exhaust vent arranged at the top of the module. Clean the air completely to release it to the workplace. Additionally, a fixed or mobile plenum, preferably located above the worker area, can be employed after the exhaust opening. In that case, it again filters the air and creates a vertical air flow that will be sucked again by the suction screen.

  It is preferred that the suction screen be integrated into the module and accessible by opening the door covering the suction screen in whole or in part when in the closed position. As another possible solution, the suction screen can be suspended from the arm and / or pulled out of the module.

  Modules not only include tools and materials needed for repair work such as paint guns, sanders, cleaning papers, spatulas, solvents, paper, connecting hoses, but also for polishing and painting machines and control panels. The repair equipment, which also includes the provided regulation / filtration and air lubrication device, is included integrally. The roller elements of the module may consist of fixed wheels (wheels) and / or guides that are dragged by being pushed by one or two operators. Some of these wheels may be connected to a motor.

  Repair operations, in particular painting, are usually carried out by activated air suction and filter means. Once this is done, the drying means is activated.

  The drying means preferably comprises a drying screen, usually an infrared screen. The screen can be attached to a stretchable articulated deployment device, which is suspended from a rotating telescopic arm grouped on a module. In this case, you may have the division equipped with the door which accommodates the said infrared screen in a non-use position.

  According to this configuration, the infrared screen is removed from the module after opening the corresponding door and placed at a position opposite to the area of the target vehicle to be dried by the operation of the rotating telescopic arm and the extension type articulated deployment device. Is done.

  In another embodiment, the drying means can replace the infrared screen with an ultraviolet screen or other equipment required by a corresponding repair technique.

  The lighting means is preferably embodied in a door with a lighting screen. However, the illuminating screen can be arranged in another place of the module (for example, the roof) or the telescopic arm. This door partially covers the suction screen in the closed position. Once the door is collapsed, the lighting screen is switched on, illuminating the operator's work area, and at the same time leaving the passage unobstructed for drawing air into the suction screen.

  According to the preferred embodiment of the mobile paint shed, its operation occurs as follows. That is, the mobile paint shed approaches the vehicle, the electrical plug is withdrawn, another fluid pressure plug providing the necessary air flow is withdrawn, the two front doors are opened to show the air suction screen, Switch on the lighting screen. The air suction and filter means are then actuated for repair, and then once the vehicle is painted, the infrared screen applied to the vehicle for drying is pulled out. As work is performed, the infrared device is recovered, the door is closed, the air and electrical hoses that were introduced to the furniture are removed, and are ready to move to another work location.

  Additionally, a mobile paint shed can be built with a light fold seal (seal). The lightweight foldable seal may be formed by a transparent plastic curtain or other material to create an enclosure around the work area, for example, supporting the curtain for easy deployment and folding. It has a telescopic arm or a retractable arm.
