APPARATUS FOR ELECTROSTATICALLY SPRAYING PAINT Filed Jan. 23, 1956 PRESSURE-ADJUSTA BLE INVENTORS OTTO, GENGEN BACH HORST SCHENE ATTORNEYS APPARATUS FOR ELECTROSTATICALLY SPRAYING PAINT btto Gengenbach and Horst Schene, Sindelfingen, Kreis Bohlingen, Germany, assignors to Daimler-Benz Aktiengesellschaft, Stuttgart-Unterturkheim, Germany Filed Jan. 23, 1956, Ser. No. 560,825
Claims priority, application Germany Feb. 9, 1955 Claims. (Cl. 118-626) The present invention relates to a process and apparatus for coating objects with a liquid, and more particularly to a process and apparatus for electrostatically spraying paint.
The known processes exhibit the disadvantage that the paint to be sprayed can be applied to large surfaces only in a relatively uneven manner. This may be attributed to the fact that the spray-paint in the prior art devices leaves a nozzle or similar device under pressure out of a plurality of small bores from which it is usually discharged in the form of a cone or fan.
'With other known processes this disadvantage is sought to be avoided in that the paint to be sprayed is sucked or drawn off electrostatically from a stationary liquid surface. However, with this process the spray-paint can be applied or sprayed only in a horizontal direction so that objects with large surfaces to be sprayed have to be guided or moved past the stream of paint spray in a vertical direction. However, such a flow or movement of the material and goods is inappropriate in connection with modern production methods which are based on horizontal assembly lines.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a process and apparatus for carrying out the process which obviates all these disadvantages of the prior art.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a process and apparatus enabling the spraying of paint onto large surfaces in a very even manner.
A still further object of the present invention resides in an arrangement which permits the undercoating of large surfaces in a very even manner by electrostatically spraying the coating onto these large surfaces.
Another object of the present invention lies in the realization of a coating process, such as a paint-spraying process, which is suitable for assembly lines moving in essentially horizontal planes.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide an installation for carrying out an improved electrostatic spraying process in which the coating material such as paint, is circulated under pressure and to provide a nozzle particularly appropriate for use in such installations.
Another object of the present invention lies in the use of an electrostatic field for drawing off the fluid to be sprayed which is subjected to a capillary action at the place where its electrostatic discharge occurs and to return to the circulatory system any excess fluid not drawn off electrostatically during the spraying action.
Still another object of the present invention resides in providing an electrostatic spraying system in which a narrow longitudinal gap exerting a capillary action on the fluid is used as a nozzle and in which the fluid is circulated under such a pressure that in the absence of and electrostatic field of predetermined strength the fluid merely flows over out of the gap but is not subjected to any discharge action.
" The present invention avoids the disadvantages of the prior art in that the liquid such as paint to be sprayed which, for example, is continuously circulated by means of a pump, leaves through a narrow longitudinal gap out of which the electrostatic suction takes place. More paint is ordinarily supplied through the gap by appropriate adjustment than is drawn oif electrostatically and the excess portion of the paint which is not drawn ofl? electrostatically for purposes of spray-painting passes over into a collecting container.
The present invention further relates to an installation and apparatus for carrying out the process.
The apparatus consists of two concentrically arranged pipe or tube sections open only on one side thereof, of which the inner pipe section serves as supply line for the spray-paint and the open gap of which serves as spray nozzle while the outer pipe section forms thereturn line for the excess paint which has flown over out of the gap.
Further objects, features and advantages of the pres ent invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing which shows, for purposes of illustration only, one embodiment in accordance with the present invention, and wherein Figure 1 illustrates schematically a spraying installation in accordance'with the present invention;
Figure 2 is a perspective view through a section of the spray nozzle drawn approximately in its actual size, showing that end portion of the nozzle as seen at the left of the section line IIII of Figure 3; and
Figure 3 is a longitudinal section of the spray nozzle with the arrows indicating the path of non-sprayed liquid over-flow.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings wherein like reference numerals are used throughout the various views to designate like parts, reference numeral 6 designates a container for the paint. The paint is continuously supplied from the container 6 by means of a pump 5 through the feed or supply line 5a to the inner line or tube section 4 of the spray nozzle 3. ject 8 which may be supported from a transporting device 7, which at the same time serves as conductor, passes past or over the spray nozzle 3, the particles of the paint are subjected to the influence of an electric high voltage field which is maintained between the supply nozzle 3 connected through line 13, for example, to the positive terminal of an appropriate power supply or high voltage source and the goods or objects 8 which are connected with the negative terminal of the power supply through the conductor formed by the transporting device 7 and which serve as opposite pole of the electrostatic field. If so desired, the negative terminal of the high voltage generator HV may be connected to ground so that each object or article 8 passing the nozzle 3 constitutes a grounded mass as regards the electrostatic field. e
The actual mode of operation in the spray nozzle 3 will now be explained with reference to Figure 2. The
paint to be sprayed flows under the pressure caused by the pump 5 through the cross section 9 of the pipe 4 and leaves the same through the gap 10; The width However, the overall cross section of the gap formedbetween wall portions 4 and 4" and the pressure caused by the circulation pump 5 are so selected and adjusted with respect to each other that the paint to be sprayed would not be subjected to any spraying action out of If an obgap without the presence of an electric field of predetermined strength but would merely flow over. -'Ihe thus over-flowing paint is caught in the gaps 10a which are formed by the essentially straight, parallel wall portions 11', 11" extending parallel to and on the outside of both wall portions 4' and 4" and is thereupon returned through the annular channel 12 formed between the con centric Walls of the pipe section 4 and of the pipe section 11 into the circulatory system in any suitable manner, illustrated schematically only in Figure 1 in which the excess paint is permitted to flow back into the container 6.
During the spraying operation which occurs with the passage of the object 8 the paint is drawn 01f under the effect of the electric high voltage field to thereby prQ hre a Sp y ng r atc ing t on om he edges of the gap 10 to the objects or goods filwhich are to be coated with the paint.
The process and the described installation in accordance with the present invention ofier the advantage. with respect to those of the prior art that a surface like spray discharge of very great evenness is produced thereby.
The illustrated arrangement is particularly appropriate if objects with large surfaces are to be sprayed from the undersides thereof. However, with an inclined arrangement of the, spray nozzle vertical surfaces may also be sprayed.
The liquid used in connection with the present invention may be any suitable paint or other liquid coating material the even application of which to surfaces, particularly large surfaces, is desired.
It is understood that one end of the cross section 9 of nozzle 3, for example, the one not visible in Figure 2,
is closed in any suitable manner, while the other end is connected with the supply line 5a.
