Definitions

  • the voltage applied to such a device is generally essentially independent of spacing between the device and grounded objects and such a device generally has high effective capacity.
  • a disadvantage of such a sprayer is that if a person accidentally approaches it too closely he will receive a highly objectionable shock and a spark discharged from it may ignite inflammable coating material or cause an explosion.
  • the coating material fed to the bell will move by centrifugal force over a surface of the bell to the discharge edge of the bell.
  • the coating material With a charging voltage applied to the conductive coating, the coating material will be dispersed from the discharge edge as a charged spray for electrostatic deposition on the articles to be coated.
  • the bell produces a high quality spray of nely divided particles for use in coating operations, if the bell has too large a diameter, either the coating on the bell has to have too high a surface conductivity for safety or too low a surface conductivity for applying a satisfactory charge to the material to be sprayed.
  • the high resistance electro-conductive coating on the bell is subject to destructive scrubbing action when said conductive coating is disposed over the bell surface over which the coating material moves, and accidental impact at the discharge edge may damage the conductive coating and thus adversely affect charging.
  • the relatively high temperature required to process the conductive coating may physically distort the bell.
  • an improved sprayer which will overcome the disadvantages and difficulties just discussed. More specically, it is an object of the invention to provide an improved sprayer which will have sufliciently low effective capacity to minimize shock and fire hazards and yet be suiciently conductive to permit the desired electrical potential on the coating material when it is at the dispersing or charging zone, and which will be highly resistant to the chemical and abrasive action of coating materials. Another object of the invention is to provide charging apparatus having a discharge edge not readily affected by accidental impact. A further object of the invention is to provide a charging apparatus in which the effect of distortion of some of its parts resulting from their manufacture is minimized. Still another object of the invention is to provide a large, safe sprayer from which coating material is discharged with improved uniformity.
  • the effective capacity of an electrode system is not a measure of that systems ability to store electrical energy (conventionally dened as the electrical capacitance of the system) but rather it is a measure of the propensity or ability of a destructive discharge obtainable from the system to shock personnel, ignite inflammable vapors, or cause an explosion. It is a direct function of electrical capacitance and an inverse function of the distributed electrical resistivity and the sharpness of the electrode, but this concept has no conventional units of measure. lf an electrode is made of metal, its entire capacitance can be essentially instantaneously discharged, and therefore, for safety its size must be relatively small.
  • the electrode is made of highly resistive material, as an insulating material with a highly resistive or semi-conductive coating, the entire capacitance of the electrode is not instantaneously discharged and some of the stored energy is dissipated by the resistance of the electrode. Therefore, such an electrode may be larger than could otherwise be tolerated. Also, sharpness of exposed portions of the electrode promotes ionization and increases leakage current therefrom resulting in reduced electrode voltage and reduced intensity of discharge.
  • a spray charging means formed of an electrically insulating material having an electro-conductive, preferably semi-conductive, element carried within it and an outwardly presented coating-delivery face terminating in a discharge portion.
  • the electro-conductive element is adapted for operative connection to a high voltage source and is disposed in a position in which the coating material is brought into operative association therewith preferably adjacent said discharge portion.
  • Means are provided for supplying coating material from a source of supply onto said coating-delivery face and moving it into operative association with said electro-conductive element and to said discharge portion from where said coating material is discharged in the form of a spray of finely divided, charged particles for deposition on the grounded articles to be coated.
  • FIG. 1 is a vertical section of an electrostatic charging apparatus having a sprayer embodying the invention, but showing the coating material and electrical power supplies in schematic form;
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the sprayer shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of a different embodiment of the electro-conductive element shown in FIG. 1.
  • the inner circumference of the ring :16 is spaced radially outwardly from the inner circumference of the ring 15, aud the outer circumference of the ring 16 extends around the outer circumference of the ring 1S and projects axially therebeyond to provide a step dam or rib 18 extending around the outer circumference of the annulus 10.
  • the dam 18 has an annular face parallel to and axially spaced from the upwardly presented face of the ring 15.
  • One function of the dam 18 is to overcome any lack of uni-formity in the distribution of coating material that arrives at the inner portion 18a of the dam. For example, it aids in eliminating any gaps in the coating material film arriving at 4the foot of the inner dam portion 18a and feeds the coating material uniformly over the top of the dam to the outer sharp edged periphery 1817, which is at ⁇ or adjacent the sprayforming zone.
  • Another advantage of the dam 18 is that when it is of the proper contour, field concentration is limited to only the spray-forming zone. This peripheral edge may be formed as a -one-quarter round edge as shown, or it may be in the form of an undercut knife edge.
  • an insulating surface on the outwardly disposed edge ⁇ of the sprayer tends to increase the electrical gradient at the spray-forming zone and prevents damage to the terminus of 4the electro-conductive element adjacent thereto.
  • An advantage of the one-quarter round edge is that besides providing an increased field concentration lat the spray-forming zone, it also provides a sprayer edge having a shape which is not easily damaged.
  • an electroconductive element y having a distributed high resistance which may be conveniently formed as a semi-conductive, resinous coating applied to the ring 1'5.
  • a coating may comprise finely divided, electrically conductive, solid particles, such as finely divided carbon, carried in a resinous binding material, such as a thermosetting resin.
  • the element 20 may thus be compounded to provide the said element with a predetermined resistance by controlling .the amount of carbon added to the resinous binder in which it is carried.
  • the element 20 provides a member having a multi-megohms per square resistivity, but the resistivity should not be so great as to prevent maintenance of an adequate charging potential at the sprayforming zone. As shown in FIG.
  • the element 20 is interposed between and bonded to the adjacent faces of the rings :15 and 16.
  • the ring 16 should be cemented to .the resinous coating with a material such as nonconducting epoxy cement.
  • the major portion of the element 20 is thus sandwiched between the rings 15 and 16 with its inner edge portion disposed radially inwardly from the inner circumference of the ring 16 in an unshielded position.
  • the outer edge of the element 20 terminates in the plane of the coating-delivery face of the ring 15 between the outer circumference of said ring and the step dam 18.
  • the inner edge of the ring 15 is connected to the rim 12 as by a nonconductive cement, such as epoxy cement, with the upper edge of said rim being shouldered as at 22 to dispose its upwardly presented edge coplanar with the coating-delivery face of the ring 15.
  • a nonconductive cement such as epoxy cement
  • the rim -12 is provided with an annular trough 24, the outer side wall of which slopes upwardly at 26' and terminates in an annular shoulder 28.
  • a sloping wall extends from the shoulder 28 to the upwardly presented face of the rim 12.
  • the rim 12 is connected as by pins 32, formed of '4 electrically insulating material, to the disk 14.
  • the element 20 is bonded to the :ring 15, and the ring 16- is then bonded to the element 20.
  • the rim 12 is pinned to the disk 1'4, and the ring 15 with the element 2G* and ring 16 connected thereto is then bonded to 4said rim.
  • the ring 16 which is generally coplanar with the pins 32, does not interfere with the pinning of the rim and disk.
  • the upwardly presented face of the disk 14 is generally coplanarl with the coating-delivery face of the ring 15, and the outer circumference of said disk overlies the rim shoulder 28 in axially spaced relation thereto.
  • coating material for exam-ple, a paint such as is used in commercial spray painting operations, fed to the trough 24 by a nozzle 34 from a source of supply 35 will, under the action of centrifugal force, climb the rim walls 26 and 30 onto the coating-delivery face of the ring 15.
  • coating materials are not extremely electrically conducting, and where such materials are used, the supply 35 and possibly some intermediate point of ⁇ the supplying line extending from supply 35 should be electrically grounded.
  • the supply 35 and .the supply line should be electrically insulated from ground. In this latter case there is some sacrice in operational safety of the equipment but it is still safer than, for example, conventionally used electrostatic disk-type coating apparatus.
  • the Weir formed by the disk 14 overlying the rim shoulder 28 will confine the movement of said coating material to the walls of said rim and prevent said coating material from being thrown generally axially outwardly from the upwardly presented edge of the rim vvall 26.
  • the centrifugal force created by the rotation of the sprayer causes the coating material to move across the coating-delivery face of the ring 15 to the edge thereof, with said coating material passing in operative association with the outer peripheral edge of the conductive element 2t).
  • a high voltage is impressed on the element 20 by a brush connection 37 leading from a high lvoltage source 29.
  • the coating material rnoving to the edge of the ring 15 will come into operative association with the element 2t), and will move over the dam 18, which is formed of electrically insulating material and is disposed radially outwardly of the element Ztl', and to the edge 1gb from which it is dispersed as a spray of finely divided, electrically charged particles yfor deposition on the grounded articles to be coated.
  • a high voltage of at least 40,000 volts, and preferably 70,000 volts or more is supplied from the voltage source 29 (generally from the negative terminal thereof) through resistance, preferably of lthe order of several megohms per kv. applied with a substantial portion of said resistance adjacent brush 37, and through the blush 37 to the sprayer for establishing the required electrical gradient between the sprayer and the articles to be coated.
  • this equipment is used with a 'voltage supply having an output voltage which decreases appreciably as current increases, series resistance may be reduced.
  • the disk 14 is interconnected to a drive shaft 39 by an assembly all of whose components at the sprayer end should preferably be formed from electrically insulating materials.
  • Such assembly comprises a hub iti connected to the disk 1d by a plurality of screws 42.
  • the hub projects axial-ly through the rim 12 and has a shouldered opening 44 formed in its upper end for the reception of a screw 45 connecting said hub to a drive coupling 47 mounted on the rotatably driven drive shaft 39 by nou-conductive cement '49.
  • the driving torque of the coupling 47 is transmitted to the hub 40 by a key 48 received in mating keyways formed in Vsaid hub and coupling.
  • the coupling 47 is journaled within a bearing 52 which is cemented to a sleeve 58.
