FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of the paint supply device of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic side view of the paint supply device of the present invention.

According to the present invention, a work W is fixed to a plurality of work fixtures (not shown) provided at appropriate intervals on an endless chain (not shown) of a chain type transfer line L using an endless chain. A paint supply device in an automatic coating device A for automatically applying a paint to a work W, the paint supply device being an air box 1 containing compressed air.
And a paint box 2 for storing paint, a plurality of operation units 3 such as switches for adjusting air pressure and the like, and a plurality of display units 4 such as meters for displaying air pressure and the like. The paint box 2 is vertically connected integrally and placed on the automatic coating apparatus A as a paint supply box B, and a part of the operation unit 3 and the respective display are displayed on the outer surface of the paint supply box B. In addition to the arrangement of the unit 4, another operation unit 3 is arranged on the side of the automatic coating apparatus A.

The automatic coating apparatus A according to the present invention comprises a chain-type transfer line L in which works W are fixed to a plurality of work fixtures (not shown) provided at appropriate intervals on an endless chain (not shown). As shown in FIG. Painting process block. A plurality of process blocks such as a drying process block are self-propelled, and the work W is automatically coated in the coating process block. The coating process block includes a paint supply device and a paint supply device. A supply box B provided with a paint spraying device C and the like connected via a paint supply nozzle N, and has a structure basically similar to that of a conventionally known automatic coating device using a so-called chain type transfer line. It is.

The paint supply device is for supplying paint to the paint spraying device C by air pressure. The paint supply device contains an air box 1 for storing compressed air, a paint box 2 for containing paint, and an air pressure or the like. The air box 1 and the paint box 2 are vertically connected to form a plurality of operation units 3 such as switches for adjustment and a plurality of display units 4 such as meters for displaying air pressure. The paint supply box B formed in a suitable manner is disposed at an appropriate position on the coating step block of the automatic coating apparatus A, and the upper and lower connections between the air box 1 and the paint box 2 are determined in view of physical facts. The paint box 2 is arranged above and the air box 1 is arranged below and connected, and the connection can be made by butt joining, flange joining, fitting joining, joint joining, etc. Means are used, bolt. It is performed by a nut or an appropriate method such as bonding or welding.

The air box 1 is for storing compressed air, and its size and the like are determined by the scale of the entire automatic coating apparatus A itself, but the paint box 2 is placed thereon. In view of the above, the can is made of a rigid material having strength enough to withstand the weight, such as a can, but the shape and the like are not limited at all.

The paint box 2 is for storing paint and is mounted on and connected to the air box 1, so that it is usually formed to be lighter in weight than the air box 1. It is usually like a can of the same shape as the air box 1 placed below, but the volume is reasonable depending on the article to be coated, the total number of coatings, the scale of the automatic coating device A itself, etc. Any structure that can promptly replenish the paint when the paint runs out during the work can be used suitably.

The operation unit 3 is for adjusting the air pressure and the like arbitrarily according to the object to be coated. Push / pull switch. What is necessary is just to apply the most suitable thing according to the situation used, such as a tumbler switch,
The type is not limited as long as it is easy to operate so that the air pressure and the like can be easily adjusted.

A part of the operation unit 3 is disposed on the outer surface of the paint supply device B so that the operation unit 3 can be operated at a position unaffected by the scattering of the paint. It is arranged below the side.

In the present application, the display unit 4 uses a meter of a type that displays the pressure state of the air using a scale and a pointer, but may use a digital display, and a display unit that can quickly recognize the information to be confirmed. There is no need to particularly limit as long as it is used.

In this type of automatic coating apparatus, the spraying state of the paint to be sprayed depends on the strength of the pressure applied to the air. Since it is important to keep the optimum pressure by always recognizing the air pressure, it is necessary to arrange the display unit 4 at a position that is easy to see as much as possible. In the present application, as shown in FIG. Since it is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the box, the inconvenience of becoming difficult to recognize due to the dirt due to the scattering of the sprayed paint, which was a conventional problem, can be solved and the air pressure is always kept in the best state It becomes possible.

Further, if the auxiliary members of the apparatus such as the control panel S are arranged in a well-balanced manner on the automatic coating apparatus A, they become more compact and more practical, and the original object can be more suitably achieved. .
