Definitions

  • ABSTRACT An electrostatic powder coating apparatus for coating the surfaces of articles with pulverulent materials having a quick and efficient material change feature such that-said apparatus is adapted for selectively spraying materials having different characteristics wherein the change from one material to another can be accomplished without extensive purging of the system, said apparatus including a spray gun, a powder supply means adapted to be removably connected to the inlet of said spray gun, and a control means adapted to be connected to a switching means on said gun for controlling the supply of pulverulent materials to said gun.
  • the present invention relates generally to an electrostatic spray gun for electrostatically coating pulverulent materials onto an article to be coated. More specifically, the present invention relates to'an improved electrostatic powder coating apparatus having a material changing means by which the type of pulverulent materials sprayed from the gun can be easily and efficiently changed without the normal purging of the entire system.
  • the present invention provides an improved spray gun and an improved spray gun system in which the type of pulverulent material being sprayed can be easily and efficiently changed to another without the necessity of purging the entire system as in the past.
  • the present invention includes a hand spray gun having an improved nozzle assembly including an ionization cone designed to be quickly and easily removed from the front portion of the spray gun to be cleaned when a color change is desired and then reinserted into the front portion of the gun.
  • the specific structure on the ionization cone includes a probe extending from one end of the cone to the other, a cone body with a plurality of fins surrounding the rearward end of the probe for retaining the ionization cone within the spray gun, an ionization ring mounted on the fin portions for electrically connecting a high voltage source with the probe, and a conical deflector positioned at the forward end of the probe in a position such that a portion of the probe extends outwardly from an exterior surface of the conical member and such that the conical member is spaced from the cone body.
  • the probe When the high voltage source is actuated, the probe is elevated to a potential substantially greater than the potential of the article to be coated and an electrostatic field is set up between the article to be coated and each of the portion of the probe extending through the mechanical member and the portion of the probe located between the mechanical member and the cone body. It has been found that a structure of this sort affords the desired deposition and wrap-around of the pulverulent materials onto the article to be coated while requiring a much smaller voltage than spray guns of the past.
  • the present invention provides for a quick and efficient material change system by which the spray gun can be selectively adapted for the spraying of several different type of pulverulent materials.
  • the material change system includes, for each different material, a supply unit including a pair of members, one of which is adapted for conveying the pulverulent materials from the powder supply to the spray gun and the other of which is to transmit the on-off signal of the trigger movement of the gun to an appropriate relay switch for actuating both the high voltagepower source and the powder supply system associated with the particular material to be sprayed.
  • the member conveying the pulverulent materials from the powder supply to the gun includes a relatively rigid tube designed to be inserted within the material passage of the gun and to extend'substantially through the entire passage thereby minimizing the portion of the material passage and the supply line of the gun which has to be purged. Means is also provided for tightly securing the powder conveying member to the spray gun when that securement is desired.
  • an object of the present invention to provide an electrostatic powder coating apparatus having a quick and efficient material change means adapted for changing from a material having one characteristic to a material having a difierent characteristic without extensive purging of the system.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an electrostatic powder coating apparatus in which the charging and deflecting means is easily removed and cleaned when a material having a different characteristic is desired to be coated.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an electrostatic powder coating apparatus adapted for an effcient material change having a means associated with each different material for disposition within the material passage of the gun to thereby reduce the length of said passage which must be purged when a material change is effected.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide an electrostatic powder coating apparatus in which a control means associated with each different material is adapted to be selectively connected with the spray gun for controlling the supply of that particular material from the powder supply to the spray gun.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevated view partially in section showing the improved spray gun of the present invention.
  • the electrostatic powder coating gun 10 of the present invention includes generally a barrel portion 11, a nozzle portion 15 located near the front of the barrel portion 11, a handle 12, a trigger l4 and a means located near the rear portion of the gun 10 for supplying high voltage and pulverulent materials to the gun l0.
  • the barrel portion 11 of the gun 10 encloses a generally-cylindrical material passage 18 extending longitudinally through the spray gun 10 and through the entire barrel portion 11, and a generally cylindrical high voltage chamber 19 extending longitudinally through part of the barrel portion 11.
  • substantially all of the barrel portion 11, and especially those portions of the .barrel 11 which enclose the material passage 18 and high voltage chamber 19, are constructed from a molded polyethylene which is electrically non-conductive.
  • the high voltage chamber 19 is separated from the material passage 18 by a molded polyethylene wall 20 and is disposed within the barrel 11 in a position which is substantially parallel to the passage 18.
  • the chamber 19 extends forwardly through the barrel 11 to a forward barrel portion 21 and rearwardly through the barrel 11 to and through a metal rear portion of the gun 22.
  • the chamber 19 houses a megohm resistor 24, the rear end of which is electrically connected to a high voltage cable 25 housed in the rearward portion of the chamber 19.
  • the resistor 24 and the cable 25 are electrically connected by a stress relief cap 26 which includes a compression spring 28 biasing the resistor 24 toward the forward end of the chamber 19.
  • the rearward portion of the high voltage cable 25 is electrically connected by an appropriate fitting to the ungrounded terminal of a high voltage source indicated schematically by the reference numeral 30.
  • the other terminal of the high voltage source 30 is electrically grounded.
  • the nozzle portion located near the forward end of the barrel 11 generally includes apattem control sleeve or cylindrical member 36 telescopically mounted over a portion of the forward end of the barrel 11 and adapted for axially sliding movement along the forward portion of the barrel 11.
  • the sleeve 36 constructed of an electrically non-conductive material such as a linear synthetic polyamide, commonly sold under the trademark Nylon, includes a relatively cylindrical interior surface 38 substantially conforming in diameter to the exterior surface of the forward end of the barrel 11, a forward end portion 39 which, when the sleeve 36 is moved to an extended position, is disposed at a position spaced forwardly from the forward end of the passage 18, a rearward end portion 40, and a set screw 41 extending through the body of the sleeve 36 for a limited distance to engage the longitudinal channel 42 which is formed in a portion of the exterior surface of the barrel 1].
  • the sleeve 36 can be moved to a plurality of extended positions in which the forward end 39 is forwardly spaced from the forward end of the passage 18. When in a retracted position, the forward end 39 does not extend forward of the forward end of said passage 18.
  • the screw 41 engages the channel 42, the axial movement of the sleeve 36 is limited as a result of the screw 41 engaging the shoulder portions of the channel 42. In this manner, the sleeve 36 cannot inadvertently be moved to an extent that the sleeve is removed from the barrel 11. Also, the
  • screw 41 can be tightened against the inner surface of the channel 42 when the sleeve 36 is in a desired position to thereby retain the sleeve 36 inthat position.
  • the forwardmost interior surface of the passage 18 is curved or flared outwardly. This flaring, in combination with the axially movable sleeve 36 and the deflecting member 44, which will be described in more detail below, causes the pulverulent materials passing through the passage 18 to be formed into a desired spray pattern.
  • an elongated ionization member 37 disposed within the passage'lS includes a probe or electrode 45, a deflecting member 44, a body member 46 and a ring member 32.
  • the probe 45 extends the entire length of the ionization member 37.
  • the probe 45 is electrically connected to the ring member 32 by a conducting wire 49.
  • the probe 45 passes through the deflecting member 44 and extends past the concave surface 59 of the deflector 44.
  • the portion of the probe 45 extending past the surface 59 serves as an ionization point or needle 50 causing an electrostatic field to be set up between the point 50 and the article to be coated 13 when the point 50 and the article 13 are maintained at substantially different electrical potentials.
  • the generally cylindrical body member 46 surrounds a substantial portion of the probe 45 and extends from the rearward end 48 of the probe 45 to a point 51 near the forward end of the probe 45. In the preferred embodiment, the location of the point 51 is substantially even with the forward end of the passage 18 when the member 37 is operatively disposed within the passage 18.
  • a plurality of fins52 integrally formed with the rearward portion of the body member 46 are spaced about the circumference of the member 46 and extend upwardly therefrom such that the diameter of the exterior fin surfaces is slightly larger than the interior diameter of the material passage 18 so that the ionization member 37 may be retained within the passage 18. As better seen in FIG. 3, the plurality of fins 52 are equally spaced about the circumference of the body member 46 and extend radially outwardly therefrom.
  • a ring member 32 is mounted to a portion of. the fins 52 at a position which is spaced'forwardly from the rearward end 48 of the probe. Referring specifically to FIG. 3, the mounting of the ring in this manner provides a plurality of passages 54 through which the pulverulent materials may pass as they are conveyed through the passage 18.
  • the ring member 32 is constructed of an electrically conductive material and is electrically connected to the resistor 24 (FIG. 1) by the set screw 31.
  • the ring 32 engages the set screw 31, thereby electrically connecting the ring 32 with the screw 31, and also preventing further inward movement of the ionization member 37
  • the member 37 is then retained in this position by the plurality of fins 52 which are force fitted against the interior surface of the passage 18. Because the member 37. is secured within the passage 18 due to the flexible and somewhat resilient nature of the fins 52, the member 37 can easily be removed, cleaned and replaced when such'cleaning is desired. This is often the case when the gun or the system is changed from spraying a pulverulent material having one characteristic to a pulverulent material having another.
  • the deflecting member 44 through which the forward portion of the probe 45 passes is generally conical in shape and includes a cylindrical surface 56, a tapered or conical surface 55 extending from the surface 56 and tapered inwardly toward the body member 46, a tapered surface 58 extending from a cylindrical portion 57 of the member 44 inwardly away from the body member 46, a shoulder portion 60 connecting the surface 56 with the surface 58, and a concave surface 59 which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the probe 45 and which is the forwardmost surface of the deflector 44.
  • the body member 46, the fins 52 and the deflecting member 44 are all constructed of non-conductive material such as a linear synthetic polyamide commonly sold under the trademark Nylon.
  • the tapered surface 55 tapers inwardly toward the body member 46 and terminates at a point which is spaced from the forwardmost point 51 of the body 46.
  • This provides for a portion 61 of the electrically conductive probe 45 to be directly exposed to the pulverulent materials being discharged from the end of the material passage 18. It is believed that an electrostatic field is set up between the portion 61 and the grounded article '13 to thereby supercharge or precharge the pulverulent materials being emitted from the passage 18, thereby causing greater wrap-around and better deposition of the particles onto the article 13 with a substantially lower voltage.
  • the forwardmost portion of the probe 45 extends for a distance past the concave surface 59.
  • a differencein electrical potential between the point 50 and the article 13 causes an electrostatic field to be formed between the point 50 andthe grounded article 13 to thereby additionally charge the pulverulent materials particles toward and onto the article 13.
  • the forwardmost point of the needle 50 does not extend past the edge formed between the tapered surface 58 and the concave surface 59, but rather is shielded within the concave portion formed by the surface 59.
  • This shielding prevents pulverulent materials which have been precharged by the portion 61 from being repelled by the needle 50 which contains charges of identical polarity to the charges then carried by the pulverulent particles and also limits undesired contact with the point 50. It is believed that this shielding results in a more efficient system which can provide the same wrap-around and same deposition with a much lower voltage.
  • a relatively rigid, electrically non-conductive tube 65 for conveying pulverulent materials through the passage 18.
  • the tube 65 extends through a substantial portion of the passage 18 with its forward end 66 terminating at a pointwhich is spaced rearwardly of the set screw 31.
  • the rearward end 68 of the tube 65 includes a portion containing a plurality of circumferential ribs 69 which are adapted for attachment of the end 68 to a flexible tube 70 of the type normally used for transporting pulverulent materials in an electrostatic. spraying system.
  • the tube 65 although relatively rigid when compared to the hose 70,. is not so rigid that it cannot be bent slightly, and is generally cylindrical having an external diameter slightly smaller than the internal diameter of the material passage 18. With this construction, the tube 65, with the flexible hose 70 attached to its rearward end, can be easily inserted into and removed from the material passage 18 when such insertion or removal is desired.

This ground terminal (not shown) enters the gun together with the high voltage cable. When the switch is in the off position, the aforementioned ground terminal and the male jack 80 are not electrically connected.
