Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a transportable coating material stirrer to which coating material is hard to stick which can eliminate a post processing such as cleaning, by horizontally disposing a turn table, on which a coating material storage tank is mounted, and by rotating the tank itself to stir the coating material in the tank. CONSTITUTION: A predetermined coating material storage tank 25 is mounted on a base 2, and by operating a lever of a connector 9, the height and direction of an arm 8 is set to fix the arm 8 to a support 7, and a suction port 27 of a suction pipe 26 is disposed at a predetermined position in the tank 25, and then a lever of a supporter 10 is operated to fix the suction pipe 26. In such state, various kinds of operation knobs 17 of an operation panel 15 are operated to set the speed and cycles of normal rotation, stopping, reverse rotation of a motor 3 corresponding to the kinds, concentration, etc., of coating material in the tank 25 and thereafter the motor 3 is actuated. And the tank 25 is rotated normally, reversely or stopped in a predetermined cycle by means of the motor 3 to stir the coating material in the tank 25, providing a painting material of uniform concentration.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable paint agitator for agitating paint in a tank to make the concentration of the paint in the tank uniform.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a portable stirrer having a propeller attached to a rotary shaft of a motor is provided, and an operator carries the stirrer and puts the propeller into a tank containing paint to start the motor. In some cases, the paint in the tank was agitated by a propeller to make the paint concentration in the tank uniform.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, the propeller of the stirrer is soaked in the paint, and the propeller must be washed after use, which is troublesome. In addition, since the paint in the tank and the painting work cannot be performed by one person at the same time, if the number of workers is one, the paint in the tank and the painting work must be alternately performed, which makes the painting work efficient. There were drawbacks such as not being able to improve. Further, since the conventional stirrer uses an electric motor, there is a drawback that there is a risk of fire due to sparks. It is an object of the present invention to obtain a novel portable paint agitator which solves the above drawbacks.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows. That is, the motor is placed on the base, and the rotary shaft driven by the motor is erected upward at the center of the base.
A turntable on which a paint storage tank is placed is horizontally arranged and fixed to the rotating shaft, a support is erected and fixed to an end of the base, and a support for supporting a suction pipe of a coating pump is provided on the support. It is configured. In this case, the motor is preferably an air motor. Further, it is preferable that an operation panel for driving and controlling a motor is provided at the upper end portion of the column.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, FIG. 1 is a side view of a portable paint agitator showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof. Figure 1,
In FIG. 2, 1 is a portable paint agitator, and 2 is its base. The base 2 is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view, and the motor 3 is erected upward and fixed on the upper surface. The motor 3 is an air motor driven by compressed air that does not generate sparks.

The rotary shaft 4 of the motor 3 is projected upward, and the turntable 5 is horizontally arranged at the upper end of the rotary shaft and fixed at the center thereof. This turntable 5
Is a cube-shaped paint storage tank 25 containing 18 liters or 20 liters, which is commercially available, and is formed in a square shape in plan view as shown in FIG. The stopper 6 holding the corners of 25 is fixed. When the paint storage tank 25 has a cylindrical shape, the turntable 5 has a circular shape in plan view.

A strut 7 is provided at the left end (rear end) of the base 2.
Is erected and fixed, and the arm 8 is fixed to the strut 7 so as to project rightward (forward). The arm 8 has a connecting tool 9 and a supporting tool 10 attached to its left and right ends, the connecting tool 9 releasably connects the left end of the arm 8 to the column 7, and the supporting tool 10 allows the suction pipe 26 to be attached and detached. To support. 27 is a suction pipe 2
6 is a suction port attached to the lower end.

The connecting tool 9 and the supporting tool 10 are both commercially available toggle clamps, and as shown in FIG. 2, a toggle part that clamps the suction pipe 26 (support 7) and a lever 12 are provided. When the lever 12 is rotated along the arm 8 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, the clamp portion 11 holds the suction pipe 26 (the support 7) and the lever 12 is moved in the arrow (A) direction. About 90
When rotated once, the clamp portion 11 releases the holding of the suction pipe 26 (support 7).

Further, an operation panel 15 for driving and controlling the motor 3 is provided at the upper end of the column 7. The operation panel 15 controls the compressed air supplied from an external air pump 18 to the motor 3 via an air supply pipe 19 (an air supply pipe 19a for forward rotation and an air supply pipe 19b for reverse rotation). 2, a control section 16 is provided, and on the upper surface, as shown in FIG. 2, a large number of operation knobs 17, a start button 20, an emergency stop button 2 are provided.
Provide 1 etc.

The operation knob 17 has first and second operation speeds for setting the rotation speed of the motor 3 in the range of 100 to 200 rpm.
Provided are speed setting knobs 17a, 17b, a stop timer knob 17c for setting the stop time of the motor 3, a forward rotation timer knob 17d for setting the forward rotation time of the motor 3, and a reverse rotation timer knob 17e for setting the reverse rotation time of the motor 3, The operator appropriately operates the operation knobs 17a to 17e according to the type of the paint in the paint storage tank 25 to operate the motor 3
The driving cycle of, that is, the speed and the cycle of forward rotation, stop, and reverse rotation are set to obtain a predetermined stirring performance.

Next, the usage of the above embodiment will be described. A predetermined paint storage tank 25 is placed on the base 2, and the lever 12 of the connector 9 on the left side is operated to set the height and direction of the arm 8 and fixed to the column 7. In addition, the suction pipe 26
After the suction port 27 is stored in the paint storage tank 25 and the height of the suction port 27 is set, the lever 12 of the support 10 on the right side is operated to hold the suction pipe 26.

Then, each operation knob 17a of the operation panel 15
17e are operated to set the speed of the motor 3 and the cycle of forward rotation, stop, and reverse rotation to a cycle corresponding to the type and concentration of the paint in the paint storage tank 25, and then the start button 20 is pressed. Then, the motor 3 causes the paint storage tank 25 to rotate forward, stop, and reverse in a predetermined cycle via the turntable 5, and the paint in the paint storage tank 25 is agitated to maintain a substantially uniform concentration. To be done. Therefore, the paint sucked from the suction port 27 toward the suction pipe 26 is always substantially uniform.

[0013]

As is apparent from the above description, in the present invention, the paint storage tank itself is rotated so as to stir the paint in the paint storage tank. No need for post-processing such as cleaning. In addition, it eliminates the need for personnel to stir the paint,
Even one person can do painting work efficiently. Also, since the agitator motor is an air motor that does not generate sparks,
There are effects such as higher safety.
