Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、塗料等の液体材料を加温して、該液体材料の粘度を下げ、効率的に微粒化して、被塗物に塗装等を行う循環式間接加熱形ホットスプレーシステムに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ホットスプレーシステムまたは装置には、循環式、非循環式があり、非循環式はポンプ吐出後に、塗料等を加温して、塗料ホースでスプレーガンに供給する方式で、噴射停止時のホース内塗料の温度低下等のため、装置的には簡単であるが、スプレー時の温度の安定性に難がある方式である。
また、循環式には、オープンシステムとクローズドシステムがあり、オープンシステムは、循環して戻される塗料を、ポンプ側の開放された塗料容器に戻す方式である。クローズドシステムは、循環して戻される塗料を、ポンプの吸込側に直接吸込ませ、スプレーして不足する塗料のみ新たに吸込ませる方式である。
【0003】
塗料等を加熱する方式に、直接加熱形と間接加熱形があり、直接加熱形は、ニクロム線等の加熱ヒーターと塗料加熱管を平行して同時に鋳込んだアルミ製の鋳造体で、該鋳造体の塗料加熱管に塗料を流して加温する方式で、温度制御は、塗料温度を直接検知して加熱ヒーターの制御を行うもので、工場等の危険場所での使用には耐圧防爆の認定を受けた装置が使用される。この直接加熱形のペイントヒーター装置はホットスプレー用に現在最も広く一般に使用されている装置である。しかし、この直接加熱方式は、加熱された鋳造体の余熱によって鋳込まれた塗料管が必要以上に加熱され、塗料管に塗料が固着したり、温度制御の誤差範囲を大きくする問題をもっている。
一方、間接加熱形は、水を入れた湯煎器の中に螺旋状の蛇管等を入れ、蛇管に塗料を流すことによって加温する方式で、温度制御は塗料温度を測定し、湯煎器の湯温を制御して行う方法である。この方式は、安全性は高いが、温度制御の応答性が悪く、現在はあまり使用されていない。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、温度安定性の高い循環方式を採用し、直接加熱形の欠点である過加熱による塗料加熱管内での塗料の固着、変質、劣化を防ぎ、防爆構造を必要としない間接加熱形を採用して、従来の欠点を解消し、精密で安全性の高いホットスプレーシステムを得んとするものである。
【0005】
そこで、ポンプから吐出された塗料を熱交換器で昇温し、熱交換器からスプレーガンまで圧送する液体材料ホース間で、冷却するのを防ぐための同心二重ホースを用い、そして、温度制御のための熱媒体に、絶縁性が良く、エンタルピーが高く、塗料温度の測定に比して、測定の容易な絶縁油を用い、温度検知を循環回路中で検知し、検知した温度によって加熱槽のヒーターを、PID時間比例動作制御で行うことによって、精密な温度制御を行い、安定した液体材料温度でホットスプレーをしようとするものである。
【0006】
また、従来、液体材料をスプレーガンからの噴出量の数倍の量を常に循環させて加温し、温度の安定を図っていたが、塗料の変質、劣化に及ぼす問題が無視できなかった。本システムは、スプレーに必要な量だけを流して加温し、スプレーoff時には三方切替弁によって液体材料を、循環経路の帰路に流すこと、液体材料に必要以上の加温を防ごうとするものである。
【0007】
また、従来、静電塗装でホットスプレーを行う場合、特に導電性塗料や低抵抗塗料の場合、直接加熱ヒーターの方式ではほとんど不可能であったが、加熱媒体を絶縁油とし、加熱槽を別置体とすることによって、静電塗装への応用時静電リーク防止や帯電防止となり、静電塗装への利用容易化を図れるものである。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、塗料等の液体材料をポンプによって圧送し可撓性ホースを介してスプレーガンに供給し、余剰の前記液体材料をポンプ吸込み側に再吸引させる循環経路を持ち、該循環経路に間接加熱用の熱媒体を循環する熱交換器を配設してなる循環式間接加熱形ホットスプレーシステムにおいて、間接加熱用熱媒体を絶縁油とし、該絶縁油の加熱槽から、液体材料の循環経路の往路のスプレーガン側に、加温された絶縁油を循環する同心二重ホースを配設し、ポンプ側に同じく循環する熱交換器を配設して、該絶縁油が前記加熱槽から前記同心二重ホースを経て前記熱交換器に至り、再び前記加熱槽に戻る直列の熱媒体循環回路を構成し、該熱交換器前に温度検知装置を設けて加熱槽の絶縁油の温度等を制御する制御ボックスを配設し、スプレーガン噴射時、噴射停止時のニードル弁作動と同期して作動する三方切替バルブが、スプレーガンの液体材料供給口の直前に設けられ、該三方切替バルブの切替えにより、スプレーガン噴射停止時に液体材料を前記循環経路の帰路側に排出、循環するようにした、ホットスプレーシステムである。
【0009】
またスプレーガン噴射停止時は、数秒間遅延して該三方切替バルブを作動させて、頻度の高いニードル弁の開閉作動を回避するようにしたものである。
【0010】
液体材料循環経路の往路のポンプ側に配設される同心二重管からなる熱交換器は、同心二重ホースの外皮ホースを経た絶縁油が、熱交換器の液体材料の出口側から、液体材料の流れとは逆の流れで熱交換器内を流れて、加熱槽に戻る循環方式をもつていて、螺旋状に巻かれた二重管で、中心管に液体材料を、該中心管を覆う外皮管に熱媒体を流せるようにしたことを特徴とするものである。
【0012】
また、熱媒体循環回路の熱交換器前に設ける温度検知装置は、液体材料温度と相関する熱媒体温度を測定して,PID時間比例動作で加熱槽のヒーター制御して、熱媒体の温度制御を行うようにしたもので、これらの制御を含め、スプレーガン噴射時、噴射停止時、三方切替バルブの切替え、ポンプ制御等の制御系を一括して制御ボックスで制御するようにしたものである。
【0013】
そして、本発明の循環式間接加熱形ホットスプレーシステムは、間接加熱用熱媒体を絶縁油とし、該絶縁油の加熱槽を別置体とすることによって、水性塗料等の導電性液体材料の、静電塗装化を容易にした、ホットスプレーシステムである。
【0014】
【作用】
本システムは、塗料等の液体材料を、耐溶剤性、耐薬品性をもつポンプで圧送し、ポンプ直後に設けられる同心二重管を持つ熱交換器で昇温し、昇温した液体材料を、可撓性の同心二重ホースでスプレーガンに供給する。そして、温度低下を防ぐために、前記同心二重ホースは、スプレーガン供給口直前の三方切替えバルブのできるだけ近くまで延長している。同心二重ホースのジョイント部は、ジョイントの取付け取外し時、熱媒体の絶縁油が塗料等の中へ、不用意に混入するのを防ぐために、液体材料のジョイントと絶縁油を循環するためのジョイントは、適当な間隔を開けて配設されている。
【0015】
スプレーガン直前に設けられる三方切替バルブは、スプレーガンのニードル作動と同期して切替えられる。スプレーガンの噴射時は、帰路が閉鎖されて流れないようになっている。そして、スプレーガンの噴射停止時に三方切替バルブが切替えられて帰路に流れて循環する。スプレーガンの噴射時、噴射停止時は、塗装場所により、非常に頻度高く噴射、噴射停止が繰返される。この頻度高い噴射、噴射停止をそのまま前記三方切替バルブや制御関係に及ぼすことは、装置の耐久性や応答性に問題が発生する可能性があると共に、そのように頻度高く制御する必要性が無いことから、前記三方切替バルブは、噴射停止時、数秒間のタイムラグをおいて切替えられるように制御される。
【0016】
三方切替バルブから排出され、循環する液体材料は、もはや温度制御の必要がなく、通常の液体材料ホースで戻される。そして、ポンプ吸込口の三方ドレンバルブを通して、ポンプ吸込口に再供給されるクローズドシステムとなっている。三方ドレンバルブには、スプレーガンの噴出量に近似する排出量となるように調整機構が設けられていて、循環経路の往路の液体材料の流速が、スプレー時と循環時、近似の流速となるように調整される。三方ドレンバルブの今一つの役割は、作業開始時に循環経路中の空気を排出してポンプに液体材料を吸込ませるためと、作業終了時または、洗浄時に循環経路中の液体材料を完全に排出するために必要な構成となっている。
【0017】
一方、間接加熱形の熱媒体の循環系は、加熱槽の中に電熱ヒーターを設け、熱媒体となる絶縁油を、ヒーターの加熱部が全没する液面となる加熱槽で、該加熱槽で加温された絶縁油を、ギヤーポンプ等によって、前記同心二重ホースの外皮ホースに流すことによって、中心ホースに流れる液体材料の外気による自然冷却を防ぎ、安定した温度でスプレーガンに供給する。同心二重ホースは、熱交換器に比べて、作業性の関係からホース径を極力細くするために、ホース内流速が早くなっている。そのため、該同心二重ホースは保温を主体の役割としている。そして、同心二重ホースを経た絶縁油は、同心二重ホースに沿って戻り、熱交換器直前に温度検知装置が配設される。温度検知された絶縁油は、熱交換器に収納される螺旋状に形成された同心二重管の外皮管に、中心管の液体材料出口側から供給される。熱交換器内で液体材料と熱交換した絶縁油は、同心二重管の液体材料の入口側から排出され、加熱槽に戻される。この熱交換器内での流れが液体材料の流れと逆の流れになっているのは、熱交換を効率的に行うためで、入口側の液体材料温度が低いときには低い温度で加温し、出口側の熱交換されて高くなったときには絶縁油の高い温度で加温し、熱交換を平均的に行わせるものである。
【0018】
また、温度検知を同心二重ホースを経て戻ってくる熱交換器直前に配設することによって、PID時間比例動作制御を行う際、戻り過程で外気温度によって変化する絶縁油の温度を的確に捕らえて、加熱ヒーター制御にフィードバックすることができるようにしたものである。従来の一般的なサーモスタットで温度制御を行う場合は、ヒーターの加温、加温停止の間に温度差が生じ10度前後の温度変化は避けられないものであった。PID時間比例動作制御は、検知した温度変化の過程を計算予測して制御する方式で、絶縁油の温度制御範囲を±1度以下に押さえることを可能にするものである。
【0019】
制御ボックスには、液体材料をスプレー量に十分で、かつ必要最小限の量を循環させるためのポンプ制御と、噴射、噴射停止させるためのニードル弁制御と、ニードル弁制御と同期して作動する三方切替バルブと、噴射停止時三方切替バルブの作動を遅延させるタイマーと、温度検知装置の検知で制御を行うPID時間比例動作装置を収納し、これらの表示、調整を行うパネル盤が配設されている。
【0020】
本システムが導電性塗料や低抵抗塗料の静電塗装化を容易にするのは、同心二重ホースの外皮ホースに絶縁油を流すことによって、高い電圧の掛かっている中心ホース内の塗料から、接地物への静電リークやスパークを防止することと、直接加熱形ではヒーター電源を通して静電がリークするため、静電塗装はほとんど不可能であったが、加熱槽を別置体とし、かつ絶縁油としたことによって、電源へのリークや液体への帯電の危険がなくなることによるものである。
【0021】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の一実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。図1は、本発明に係るホットスプレーシステムの模式図である。図1において、1は、塗料等の液体材料を貯溜する容器で、容器1中の液体材料をポンプで吸込みフイルター2aを介して吸引し、循環経路3に圧送される。循環経路3の初めに熱交換器4が配設されている。熱交換器4の吐出口直後に同心二重ホース5が配設される。可撓性の同心二重ホース5は、通常5〜10mの長さで、作業性を考慮した柔軟性の高いホースとなっている。そして、同心二重ホース5は、スプレーガン7の供給口に設けられた三方切替バルブ6に直接取付けて液体材料ホースが直接外気にさらされることのないようになっている。熱交換器4で加温され、同心二重ホースで保温される液体材料は、スプレーガン7のニードル弁作動によってスプレーされる。噴射停止時は、ニードル弁作動と同期し、遅延タイマーによって数秒間遅れて、前記三方切替バルブ6が切り替えられる。実験によればその遅延時間は約5秒間に設定されている。勿論この設定時間は条件によって異なりこの発明を限定するものではない。循環経路の帰路3aに排出される。数秒以内にスプレーが再開される場合には、三方切替バルブ6は作動しない。この事によって頻度の高い噴射、噴射停止による三方切替バルブ6の耐久性、制御系の誤動作の危険が回避される。スプレーon時は、ニードル弁作動と同期して三方切替バルブは即時切り替えられる。三方切替バルブ6を介して排出、循環する液体材料は、通常の液体材料ホース3aを介してポンプ2の吸込み側に設けられる三方ドレンバルブ8を経てポンプに再吸入され、閉鎖された循環経路、すなわちクローズドシステムとなる。三方ドレンバルブ8には、液体材料等排出のための切替バルブと、スプレー噴出量に見合った、液体材料の循環量にするための調整バルブが設けられている。このことによって、噴射時も、噴射停止時の循環時も、ほぼ近似の液体材料ホース内流速に調整される。
【0022】
一方、液体材料を加温するための熱媒体としての絶縁油の循環回路は、加熱槽10の中に加熱ヒーター11が設けられ、加熱ヒーター11によって加温された絶縁油は、ギヤポンプ12によって、初めに同心二重ホース5の外皮ホースに圧送される。絶縁油は、熱交換器側から液体材料の流れと同じ流れの方向で流れる。そして、三方切替バルブ6の直前まで、前記外皮ホース内を流れて循環する。同心二重ホースを出た絶縁油は、同心二重ホースに束ねられた通常の一重ホースで戻され、熱交換器4の液体材料の出口側に供給される。
熱交換器4に送られる直前の温度検知装置13にサーミスターが配設されている。この場所に設けられるのは、絶縁油が同心二重ホースを介した往復過程で外気温度によって、冷却される絶縁油の温度変化を捕らえて、PID時間比例動作装置にフィードバックし、加熱ヒーター11をon,offして、加熱槽の絶縁油温度を制御するためである。熱交換器を経た絶縁油は、熱交換器の液体材料の入口側から排出され加熱槽に戻される。
【0023】
図2は、熱交換器4の詳細図である。図において、螺旋状に形成された熱交換器本体100は、同心二重管で中心管101が、液体材料管で、102が絶縁油を流す外皮管である。そして液体材料ジョイント104と、絶縁油用ジョイント103が出入口の両側に同じように設けられている。ジョイント104と103は適当な間隔、例えば、約10〜80mmが開けられている。この間隔は同心二重ホースの場合もほぼ同じに設けられる。そして、液体材料の入口を104とすると絶縁油ジョイント103は絶縁油の出口側となる。
【0024】
制御ボックス14には、絶縁油用ギヤポンプ12の駆動と流量調整、自動スプレーガン7の制御信号を受けとり、ニードル弁作動と同期して制御する三方切替バルブ6の制御、スプレーoff時三方切替バルブ6を遅延させて空気圧を作動させる遅延タイマー、温度検知装置13の測定温度で制御されるPID時間比例動作装置等が温度、圧力等を設定するための表示パネルや調整つまみと共に一括して収納されている。
【0025】
は、以上説明したホットスプレーシステムによって、各部の温度を測定した実験結果を示す表である。この実験は広い範囲で温度、湿度が制御できる環境試験室内で、外気温度5℃と30℃の場合を想定して、前記温度に調整した室内で実験した結果である。そして、表の条件は液体材料をメラミン樹脂塗料、スプレーガンの噴出量200ml/min、塗料粘度は落下粘度計で12秒の場合を一例として示したものである。表の結果で明らかなように、熱交換器で絶縁油温度近く迄昇温された塗料は、同心二重ホースで保温され、スプレーガン入口に至っている。
【0026】
【発明の効果】
本発明は、以上説明したシステム構成によって、以下に記載するような効果を奏する。
【0027】
液体循環経路の往路に同心二重管式熱交換器で加温し、同心二重ホースでスプレーガン供給口直前まで保温することによって、外気温度に左右されることなく、設定された温度に安定して液体材料を供給しスプレーすることができる。
【0028】
間接加熱のための熱媒体の循環回路の熱交換器前に温度検知装置を配設し、その温度によって加熱槽の熱媒体を,PID時間比例動作で制御することによって、非常に精密な温度制御が可能になる。
【0029】
保温のための同心二重ホース両端の外皮ホースジョイントと、中心ホースジョイントに適当な間隔を開けることによって、液体材料中に熱媒体の混入する危険が解消される。
【0030】
熱交換器内を流す液体材料と、熱媒体を互いに逆方向から流すことによって平均的で、かつ効率的な熱交換が可能となる。
【0031】
スプレーガン供給口直前に三方切替バルブを設けて、噴射停止時のみ循環するようにして、液体材料に必要以上の加温を避けることによって、ヒーター容量を小さくでき、塗料等の加温の繰返しによる劣化を最小限にすることができる。
【0032】
噴射停止時の三方切替バルブの切替え時数秒間のタイムラグを置くことによって、必要以上の頻度の切替え作動や制御を避けることによって、装置の耐久性向上および誤動作発生の危険がなくなる。
【0033】
熱媒体を絶縁油とし、電熱ヒーターを含む加熱槽を独立した別置体としたことによって、導電性塗料や低抵抗塗料の静電塗装のホットスプレー化が可能となる。

[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to a circulating indirect heating type hot spray system that heats a liquid material such as a paint, lowers the viscosity of the liquid material, efficiently atomizes the material, and performs painting or the like on an object to be coated. .
[0002]
[Prior art]
There are two types of hot spray systems and devices: circulation type and non-circulation type. The non-circulation type is a method in which paint is heated after the pump is discharged and supplied to the spray gun with a paint hose. This method is simple in terms of the apparatus due to a decrease in the temperature of the paint, but has difficulty in stabilizing the temperature during spraying.
The circulation system includes an open system and a closed system. The open system is a system in which the paint that is circulated and returned is returned to an open paint container on the pump side. The closed system is a system in which paint that is circulated and returned is directly sucked into the suction side of a pump, and only the insufficient paint is newly sucked by spraying.
[0003]
There are two types of direct heating type and indirect heating type for heating paint, etc.The direct heating type is an aluminum cast body in which a heater such as a nichrome wire and a paint heating tube are cast simultaneously in parallel. A method of heating paint by flowing paint through the body's paint heating tube. The temperature control directly detects the paint temperature and controls the heating heater. It is certified to be explosion-proof for use in dangerous places such as factories. The received device is used. This direct heating type paint heater device is currently the most widely used device for hot spraying. However, this direct heating method has a problem in that the paint tube cast is heated more than necessary by the residual heat of the heated cast body, the paint adheres to the paint tube, and the error range of the temperature control becomes large.
On the other hand, the indirect heating type is a method in which a spiral coil is placed in a water bath containing water, and the paint is heated by flowing paint through the coil. This is a method of controlling the temperature. This method has high safety, but has poor response to temperature control, and is not widely used at present.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention adopts a circulation system with high temperature stability, prevents sticking, deterioration and deterioration of paint in the paint heating tube due to overheating, which is a drawback of direct heating type, and uses an indirect heating type that does not require an explosion proof structure. The purpose of the present invention is to solve the conventional disadvantages and to obtain a precise and safe hot spray system.
[0005]
Therefore, a concentric double hose is used to prevent cooling between the liquid material hoses that heat the paint discharged from the pump with a heat exchanger and pump the heat from the heat exchanger to the spray gun. Insulating oil with good insulation, high enthalpy, and easy to measure compared to paint temperature measurement, detects temperature in the circulation circuit, and heats the tank based on the detected temperature. Is controlled by the PID time proportional operation control, thereby performing precise temperature control and performing hot spraying at a stable liquid material temperature.
[0006]
Conventionally, the temperature of the liquid material has been constantly circulated and heated several times as much as the amount ejected from the spray gun to stabilize the temperature. However, the problem of deterioration and deterioration of the paint cannot be ignored. The system pressurized by flowing amount necessary to spray heated, the liquid material by the three-way switching valve at the time of spraying off, by flowing the return of the circulation path, try to prevent the above heating required in the liquid material It is assumed that.
[0007]
Conventionally, in the case of hot spraying by electrostatic coating, especially in the case of conductive paint and low resistance paint, it was almost impossible with the direct heater system.However, the heating medium is made of insulating oil and the heating tank is separated. By using the mounting member, it is possible to prevent static leakage and electrification when applied to electrostatic coating, thereby facilitating use in electrostatic coating.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention has a circulation path for feeding a liquid material such as paint by a pump by a pump, supplying the liquid material to a spray gun through a flexible hose, and re-suctioning the surplus liquid material to a pump suction side. In a circulation type indirect heating type hot spray system comprising a heat exchanger for circulating a heating medium for heating, a heating medium for indirect heating is used as insulating oil, and a circulation path of a liquid material from a heating tank of the insulating oil. On the outward spray gun side, a concentric double hose for circulating heated insulating oil is provided, and a heat exchanger for circulating is also provided on the pump side. A series heat medium circulation circuit is configured to reach the heat exchanger via the concentric double hose and return to the heating tank again, and a temperature detection device is provided in front of the heat exchanger to detect the temperature of the insulating oil in the heating tank. Install a control box to control At the time of gun injection, a three-way switching valve that operates in synchronization with the operation of the needle valve at the time of injection stop is provided immediately before the liquid material supply port of the spray gun. Is discharged to the return path side of the circulation path and circulated.
[0009]
Further, when the spray gun injection is stopped, the three-way switching valve is operated with a delay of several seconds to avoid frequently opening and closing operations of the needle valve.
[0010]
In the heat exchanger consisting of concentric double pipes arranged on the pump side of the outward path of the liquid material circulation path, the insulating oil that has passed through the outer hose of the concentric double hose flows liquid from the liquid material outlet side of the heat exchanger. It has a circulation system that flows through the heat exchanger in a flow opposite to the flow of the material and returns to the heating tank, and is a helically wound double tube. It is characterized in that a heat medium can be flowed into the covering envelope tube.
[0012]
Further, the temperature detecting device provided in front of the heat exchanger in the heat medium circulation circuit measures the temperature of the heat medium correlated with the temperature of the liquid material, and controls the heater of the heating tank in a PID time proportional operation to control the temperature of the heat medium. Including these controls, control systems such as spray gun injection, injection stop, three-way switching valve switching, pump control, etc. are controlled collectively by the control box. .
[0013]
And the circulation type indirect heating type hot spray system of the present invention uses an insulating oil as a heating medium for indirect heating, and a heating tank for the insulating oil as a separate body. This is a hot spray system that facilitates electrostatic coating.
[0014]
[Action]
In this system, a liquid material such as paint is pumped by a solvent-resistant and chemical-resistant pump, and the temperature is raised by a heat exchanger with a concentric double pipe provided immediately after the pump. Feed the spray gun with a flexible concentric double hose. In order to prevent the temperature from dropping, the concentric double hose extends as close as possible to the three-way switching valve immediately before the spray gun supply port. The joint part of the concentric double hose is a joint for liquid material and a joint for circulating the insulating oil in order to prevent the insulating oil of the heat medium from inadvertently entering the paint etc. when attaching and detaching the joint. Are arranged at appropriate intervals.
[0015]
The three-way switching valve provided immediately before the spray gun is switched in synchronization with the needle operation of the spray gun. When the spray gun sprays, the return path is closed so that it does not flow. Then, when the injection of the spray gun is stopped, the three-way switching valve is switched and flows to the return path to circulate. At the time of spraying or stopping the spraying of the spray gun, the spraying and the stopping of the spraying are repeated very frequently depending on the painting place. Applying this frequent injection and injection stop to the three-way switching valve and the control relationship as it is may cause a problem in the durability and responsiveness of the device, and there is no need to perform such frequent control. Therefore, the three-way switching valve is controlled so as to be switched with a time lag of several seconds when the injection is stopped.
[0016]
The liquid material discharged and circulated from the three-way switching valve is returned to the normal liquid material hose, no longer requiring temperature control. The closed system is re-supplied to the pump suction port through a three-way drain valve at the pump suction port. The three-way drain valve is provided with an adjustment mechanism so that the discharge amount approximates the spray amount of the spray gun, and the flow velocity of the liquid material on the outward path of the circulation path becomes an approximate flow velocity during spraying and during circulation. Is adjusted as follows. Another role of the three-way drain valve is to discharge the air in the circulation path at the start of work and to suck the liquid material into the pump, and to completely discharge the liquid material in the circulation path at the end of work or at the time of cleaning. It is a necessary configuration.
[0017]
On the other hand, an indirect heating type heat medium circulating system includes an electric heater provided in a heating tank, and an insulating oil serving as a heating medium is supplied to a heating tank serving as a liquid surface in which a heating portion of the heater is completely submerged. The insulating oil heated in the above step is caused to flow through the outer concentric hose of the concentric double hose by a gear pump or the like, thereby preventing natural cooling of the liquid material flowing through the center hose due to outside air, and supplying the liquid material to the spray gun at a stable temperature. The concentric double hose has a higher flow rate in the hose than the heat exchanger in order to make the hose diameter as thin as possible from the viewpoint of workability. Therefore, the concentric double hose mainly plays a role of keeping heat. Then, the insulating oil that has passed through the concentric double hose returns along the concentric double hose, and a temperature detection device is provided immediately before the heat exchanger. The insulating oil whose temperature has been detected is supplied from the liquid material outlet side of the central tube to the spirally formed concentric double tube envelope tube housed in the heat exchanger. The insulating oil that has exchanged heat with the liquid material in the heat exchanger is discharged from the liquid material inlet side of the concentric double pipe and returned to the heating tank. The reason why the flow in the heat exchanger is opposite to the flow of the liquid material is to efficiently perform heat exchange, and when the liquid material temperature on the inlet side is low, the liquid material is heated at a low temperature, When the temperature on the outlet side is increased due to heat exchange, the insulating oil is heated at a high temperature, and the heat exchange is performed on average.

In addition, by installing temperature detection immediately before the heat exchanger returning through the concentric double hose, when performing PID time proportional operation control, it accurately captures the temperature of the insulating oil that changes depending on the outside air temperature in the return process. Thus, feedback can be made to the heater control. In the case of performing temperature control using a conventional general thermostat, a temperature difference occurs between heating and stopping heating, and a temperature change of about 10 degrees is inevitable. The PID time proportional operation control is a method of calculating and predicting a process of a detected temperature change and controlling the temperature change, and enables the temperature control range of the insulating oil to be suppressed to ± 1 degree or less.
[0019]
The control box operates in synchronization with the pump control for circulating the liquid material in a sufficient and minimum necessary amount for spraying, the needle valve control for injecting and stopping the injection, and the needle valve control. A three-way switching valve, a timer that delays the operation of the three-way switching valve when injection is stopped, and a PID time proportional operation device that controls by detecting a temperature detection device are housed, and a panel panel that displays and adjusts these is provided. ing.

This system facilitates the electrostatic coating of conductive paint and low-resistance paint by flowing insulating oil through the concentric double hose outer hose, which allows the paint in the high-voltage center hose to be removed. Preventing electrostatic leakage and sparks to grounded objects, and direct heating type, because static electricity leaks through the heater power supply, it was almost impossible to apply electrostatic painting.However, a separate heating tank was used, and This is because the use of insulating oil eliminates the danger of leakage to the power supply and charging of the liquid.

【Example】
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a hot spray system according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a container for storing a liquid material such as a paint. The liquid material in the container 1 is sucked by a pump through a filter 2a, and is sent to a circulation path 3 under pressure. A heat exchanger 4 is provided at the beginning of the circulation path 3. Immediately after the outlet of the heat exchanger 4, a concentric double hose 5 is provided. The flexible concentric double hose 5 usually has a length of 5 to 10 m and is a highly flexible hose in consideration of workability. The concentric double hose 5 is directly attached to the three-way switching valve 6 provided at the supply port of the spray gun 7 so that the liquid material hose is not directly exposed to the outside air. The liquid material heated by the heat exchanger 4 and kept warm by the concentric double hose is sprayed by the needle valve operation of the spray gun 7. When the injection is stopped, the three-way switching valve 6 is switched in synchronization with the operation of the needle valve and delayed for several seconds by the delay timer. According to experiments, the delay time is set to about 5 seconds. Of course, the set time varies depending on conditions and does not limit the present invention. It is discharged to the return path 3a of the circulation path. If spraying is resumed within a few seconds, the three-way switching valve 6 will not operate. This avoids the frequent injection, the durability of the three-way switching valve 6 due to the injection stop, and the danger of malfunction of the control system. When the spray is on, the three-way switching valve is switched immediately in synchronization with the operation of the needle valve. The liquid material discharged and circulated through the three-way switching valve 6 is sucked into the pump again through the three-way drain valve 8 provided on the suction side of the pump 2 via the normal liquid material hose 3a, and the closed circulation path is That is, it becomes a closed system. The three-way drain valve 8 is provided with a switching valve for discharging the liquid material and the like, and an adjustment valve for adjusting the circulation amount of the liquid material in accordance with the amount of spraying. As a result, the flow velocity in the liquid material hose is adjusted to a substantially similar flow rate both during the injection and during the circulation when the injection is stopped .
[0022]
On the other hand, the circulation circuit of the insulating oil as a heat medium for heating the liquid material is provided with a heater 11 in a heating tank 10, and the insulating oil heated by the heater 11 is First, it is pumped to the outer hose of the concentric double hose 5. The insulating oil flows from the heat exchanger in the same flow direction as the flow of the liquid material. Then, until just before the three-way switching valve 6, it flows and circulates in the outer sheath hose. The insulating oil that has exited the concentric double hose is returned by a normal single hose bundled in the concentric double hose, and supplied to the heat exchanger 4 at the liquid material outlet side.
A thermistor is provided in the temperature detection device 13 immediately before being sent to the heat exchanger 4. In this place, the insulating oil captures the temperature change of the insulating oil to be cooled by the outside air temperature in the reciprocating process through the concentric double hose, and feeds back to the PID time proportional operation device to turn on the heater 11. This is for controlling the insulating oil temperature of the heating tank to be turned on and off. The insulating oil having passed through the heat exchanger is discharged from the liquid material inlet side of the heat exchanger and returned to the heating tank.
[0023]
FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the heat exchanger 4. In the figure, a heat exchanger body 100 formed in a spiral shape is a concentric double tube, a central tube 101 is a liquid material tube, and 102 is an outer tube through which insulating oil flows. A liquid material joint 104 and a joint 103 for insulating oil are similarly provided on both sides of the entrance. The joints 104 and 103 are provided with an appropriate gap, for example, about 10 to 80 mm. This interval is provided substantially the same in the case of the concentric double hose. If the inlet of the liquid material is 104, the insulating oil joint 103 is on the outlet side of the insulating oil.
[0024]
The control box 14 includes a drive and flow rate adjustment of the insulating oil gear pump 12, a control of the three-way switching valve 6 which receives a control signal of the automatic spray gun 7 and controls the same in synchronization with the operation of the needle valve, and a three-way switching valve 6 for spray off. A delay timer for operating the air pressure by delaying, a PID time proportional operation device controlled by the temperature measured by the temperature detection device 13 and the like are collectively housed together with a display panel and an adjustment knob for setting temperature, pressure, and the like. I have.
[0025]
FIG. 4 is a table showing experimental results of measuring the temperature of each part by the hot spray system described above. This experiment is a result of an experiment in an environment test room in which the temperature and humidity can be controlled in a wide range, and in a room where the outside air temperature is 5 ° C. and 30 ° C., and the temperature is adjusted. The conditions in the table show, as an example, a case in which the liquid material is a melamine resin paint, the ejection amount of the spray gun is 200 ml / min, and the paint viscosity is 12 seconds by a drop viscometer. As is clear from the results in the table, the paint heated to near the insulating oil temperature in the heat exchanger is kept warm by the concentric double hose and reaches the spray gun inlet.
[0026]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention has the following effects by the system configuration described above.

[0029]
By providing a suitable spacing between the outer hose joint at both ends of the concentric double hose for heat insulation and the central hose joint, the danger of entrainment of the heating medium in the liquid material is eliminated.
[0030]
By flowing the liquid material flowing in the heat exchanger and the heat medium from opposite directions, an average and efficient heat exchange becomes possible.
[0031]
A three-way switching valve is provided just before the spray gun supply port to circulate only when the injection is stopped, avoiding unnecessary heating of the liquid material, making it possible to reduce the heater capacity and to repeatedly heat the paint etc. Deterioration can be minimized.
[0032]
By setting a time lag of several seconds when the three-way switching valve is switched when the injection is stopped, the switching operation and control more than necessary are avoided, thereby improving the durability of the device and eliminating the danger of malfunction.
[0033]
The use of insulating oil as the heat medium and the separate installation of the heating tank including the electric heater makes it possible to hot-spray the electrostatic coating of conductive paint or low-resistance paint.
