Definitions

  • This invention relates to electrostatic spray coating systems, and more particularly to miniaturized power packs contained wholly within the spray gun for transforming a low voltage which is input to the gunfrom an external source to a high voltage for application to the gun electrode.
  • Electrostatic spray coating systems of the general type to which this invention relates typically include as a principal component thereof an electrostatic spray gun.
  • the gun has a handle designed to be manually grasped in use by the operator and a barrel which at its forward end terminates in a nozzle.
  • An electrode, electrically insulated from the gun handle, trigger, and barrel, is mounted in the nozzle and maintained at a high D.C. potential, e.g., 72 Kv, for electrostatically charging the coating particles as they leave the nozzle. Electrostatic charging of the particles enhances, for'well-known reasons, the deposition of the coating on the article being coated, which is typically maintained at ground potential.
  • a source of coating material is connected to the barrel of the gun via a flexible hose. Activation of the trigger activates a flow valve in the gun to permit the flow of coating material to the gun whereat it is atomized and emitted as a spray.
  • Electrostatic spray systems also typically include a power pack or booster supply for transforming commercially available low voltage power to the high d.c. voltages which are applied to the gun electrode for electrostatically charging the coating particles.
  • the power packs heretofore proposed particularly those adapted to supply electrode voltage of 50-l00 Kv or more have, from a physical standpoint, typically taken the form of a box or canister-like structure which because of its bulkiness, e.g., 1 cubic foot or more in volume and 35-45 pounds in weight, is usually placed on the floor near the operator.
  • the power packs which plug into a conventional 120 volt, 60 Hz a.c. source, provide at their output terminal the high d.c. voltage, for example, 72 Kv, required for electrostatic charging of the coating particles.
  • a high voltage electrical cable connects the output of the powr pack to the gun for application of the high voltage to the electrode.
  • the power pack heretofore proposed include a transformer and a voltage multiplier circuit of the capacitor/diode voltage I doubler type. Both the transformer and the multiplier circuit are located in the power pack canister, preferably submerged in oil, which is located on the floor near the operator and connected to the gun by a high voltage cable.
  • the power pack transformer stepsup the voltage of a conventional inputat 120 volts a.c. (3411 volts peak-to-peak) to an a.c. voltage of approximately 14,000 volts peak-to-peak. This stepped-up a.c .voltage is then fed to a five-stage voltage multiplier which transforms it to a high d.c. voltage, approximately 72 Kv,as required for electrostatically charging the v coating particles.
  • the 72. Kv voltage is provided at the output terminal of the power pack, and transmitted to the gun electrode via a high voltage electrical cable.
  • the power packs previously proposed while capable of providing the high d.c. voltage necessary for electrostatic spraying, have a number of. undesirable characteristics.
  • specially designed electrical cables capable of carrying electrode voltages of 72 Kv or the like are required for interconnecting the power pack and the gun.
  • These cables because of the requirement that they safely carry very high voltages, are in practice very expensive, as well as quite stiff and bulky.
  • the high cost of the cable which often is in the neighborhood of hundreds of dollars, renders conventional power packs undesirable for obvious reasons.
  • the bulkiness and stiffness of teese cables makes the spray gun physically more cumbersome and difficult to handle, thereby increasing operator fatigue.
  • the prior art gun cables are hazardous for a further reason, also attributable to'the high voltage character of the cable, namely, should the cable become damaged, an operator accidentally coming in contact with it risks being electrically shocked.
  • the volume and weight of the power pack are further reduced by the use of a transformer having a core fabricated of ferrite and configured in the shape of a cup.
  • a transformer of such design is extremely compact and light-weight. Additionally, because of the geometrical cupilike configuration of the core, stray flux is kept to a minimum with the result that radio frequency interference which would normally be expected at high operating frequencies is kept to a minimum. Minimizationv of radio frequency interference may be desirable and/or essential under certain specific conditions of use.
  • the power pack which is contained wholly within the spray gun, is supplied from an external source with a low d.c. voltage, for example, 11 volts.
  • the low voltage d.c. input power is transformed in the gun-contained power pack to a 45 KHz, 6,000 volt peak-to-peak voltage level by a combined oscillator and transformer.
  • the 6,000 volt, high frequency power is in turn transformed to 72 Kv d.c. by a IZ-stage voltage multiplier of the capacitor/diode voltage doubler type, also contained in the gun-housed power pack.
  • multiplier circuit is operated at 45 KHz, the necessary multiplier capacitance is but a mere fraction, on the order of l/500th, of what it would be were conventional power pack frequencies, typically 60 Hz, utilized.
  • This reduction in multiplier capacitance permits the power pack to be miniaturized, e.g., reduced to 3-4 cubic inches in volume and 8-I2 ounces in weight, to an extent sufficient to enable it to be located entirely within the gun.
  • A-further and also important aspect of this invention is that the capacitively stored electrical energy of the spray gun system is very materially reduced. Since ignition in a combustible environment due to arcing between the gun electrode and a grounded object is related to the electric energy capacitively stored in the spray gun system, the likelihood of ignition, and/or the electrical circuitry required to counteract, dissipate or dampen the ignition-inducing effects of capacitively stored system energy is materially reduced in the system of this invention by the very significant reduction in electrical energy capacitively stored in the system.
  • capacitive electrical energy storage is equal to V C, where C is capacitor capacitance and V is capacitor voltage
  • gun and multiplier capacitances of .300 pf and 800 pf, respectively, coupled with use in high voltage circuits are sources of significant capacitive electrical energy storage.
  • the capacitance of the high voltage-cable which interconnects the multiplier circuit and the gun of the prior art systems varies depending on the construction of the cable.
  • the capacitance of a standard length high voltage cable is approximately 300 picofarads. This cable capacitance, since also used with high voltages, is an additional source of significant capacitive electrical energy storage in the typical prior art spraying system.
  • the multiplier capacitance, as well as the voltage of the electrical cable connecting thelow voltage supply to the gun are very markedly reduced.
  • the resistance required for netralizing the ignition-inducing effects of capacitive energy storing in the multiplier circuit and the cable is negligible, if not nonexistent.
  • the component of capacitively stored electrical energy stored in the system which is attributable to the cable which interconnects the low voltage d.c. source and the gun is negligible due to the very low voltage, e.g., ll volts, at which the cable operates, rendering it totally unnecessary to incorporate in the cable any resistance means for neutralizing the effects of the cable capacitance.
  • prior art gun cables had very considerable capacitively stored'energy in the cable, due principally to the high voltage, e.g., 72 Kv, at which such were typically operated.
  • this invention reduces the capacitance of the multiplier circuit from approximately 800 picofarads for prior art multipliers to approximately 33picofarads for the multiplier of this invention.
  • This capacitance of the preferred embodiment multiplier circuit is on the order of one-twentyfifth of its prior art multiplier circuit counterpart.
  • multiplier circuit capacitive energy storage and hence the resistance required for neutralizing its effects, is reduced, if indeed any is necessary, by a factor of 25.
