7 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures PATENTEDNAY H914 3L809 0ll sum 1 or a PATENTEDHAY 7 m4 SHEET h 0F 4 APPARATUS FOR THE SURFACE COATING OF OBJECTS This is a division, of application Ser. No. 37,971, filed May 18, 1970, now Pat. No. 3,695,909.
The present invention relates to an apparatus for the partial surface coating of objects moving past an electrostatic coating station, and more particularly a powder coating station producing a cloud of electrified powder particles.
Apparatus of this type is presently used in order to obtain the coating of objects with a powder which is then melted or fused, so as to form a continuous film and to ensure a uniform protective or decorative coating. In numerous applications, and more particularly in the case of electronic components comprising a body associated with connection conductors, it is essential that the coating does not extend onto these electric conductors, or at least extends only partially thereon so as not to prevent a good connection contact.
Hitherto, such a coating process has been carried out by effecting total coating of the electronic components which is followed by partial removal of the powder by limited blowing at the place of the connection conductors. This method entails a supplementary and unsatisfactory operation, in the sense that a small number of particles which are strongly attached to the conductors are not eliminated, so that the final electrical connections have unallowable faults due to these particles which have melted with those coating the body of electronic components.
It has also been proposed to place covers and at times, covers under slight over-pressure, at the locations on the objects which do not have to be coated, but this arrangement does not always give complete satisfaction and is not applied to partial coating of objects continuously passing a coating station.
The present invention aims to reduce or overcome these drawbacks and provides an apparatus wherein the partial superficial coating of objects passing a coating station is ensured in a particularly clean manner, without any depositing of particles on the portions of the objects which are not to be coated thereon.
The method according to the invention is characterised in that at least one elongated zone is created under slight pneumatic over-pressure and free from any particles, the said zone extending through and across the said cloud of particles, and a portion not to be covered of each object is constantly within the zone under a slight over-pressure.
Apparatus using this method and applied to objects being carried on a conveyor comprises, at the location of the electrostatic coating station, at least one elongated enclosure for a zone under slight over-pressure, having at least one longitudinal opening parallel to the direction of displacement of the conveyor. In this way, the portions not to be coated of the objects travelling past the coating station are located through the opening or openings, whilst the portions to be coated pass through the zone subjected to the effect of the electrostatic powder.
The invention will now be further described, by way of example, with reference to the attached drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view, having portions broken away, of one embodiment of coating apparatus according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a transverse section through the apparatus of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view of a further embodiment of apparatus according to the invention; and
FIG. 4 is a partial sectional view of yet another embodiment of apparatus according to the invention.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the coating apparatus comprises a fiuidisation tank 1, formed in a manner known per se, having a porous bottom 2, associated with electrification means 3, and an intake 4 for fluidisation air. The powder which is deposited above the porous bottom is fluidised within a chamber 5, and is attracted towards the objects to be coated, which are maintained at earth potential, by the effect of the electric field. The apparatus also comprises two elongated boxes forming longitudinal enclosures 6 and 7, each formed from a member 8 of parallelepipedal form having a narrow opening 9 extending from end to end, according to the direction of displacement of a conveyor. Each of the enclosures 6 and 7 is connected to at least one air inlet pipe 10 which slightly over-pressurizes the enclosures 6 and 7.
The objects 11 to be coated are shown herein as resistors, capacitors or other electronic components, and comprises a body 12 and lateral conductors 13 and 14. These components are attached, at the ends of the conductors 13 and 14, to lateral bands 15, 16 forming conveyor belts, and during their passage across the coating station, these conductors l3 and 14 rest on the lower edge 17 defining the lower longitudinal portion of each opening 9.
It will be noted that input and output screens 18 and 19 are positioned on the chamber 5, the boxes 8 forming the pressurised enclosures extending on both sides of the fiuidisation chamber beyond its input and output screens.
Thus, during the passage of the electronic components 11 through the fluidised bath, the air admitted into each of the enclosures 6 and 7 causes slight overpressure in these enclosures which avoids any introduction of particles into the said enclosures and consequently any depositing of particles on the part of the conductors l3 and 14 which is situated within the said enclosures 6 and 7. On the contrary, the depositing of coating material on the body 12 of the electronic components 11 is not disturbed.
Referring to FIG. 3 there is shown a pneumatic and electrostatic spray nozzle 20 of a type known per se, which sprays a current of air 21 transporting particles of powder in the direction of the electronic components 22 whose conductors 23 and 24 are inserted into pressurised enclosures 25, 26, which are supported by pillars 27 and 28. It will be noted that the lower edge 29 of the openings is recessed so that the openings do not face the powder station, but in a direction such that the path of the particles towards an enclosure follows a meandering course terminating in an upward direction, which is advantageous. An aspirator 30 is located below the sprayed cloud and allows recovery of the particles not deposited.
Referring now to FIG. 4, each enclosure 41 under slight over-pressure, as in the embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2, is formed at the side of the coating station above and below by double walls 43 and 44 thereby defining two flat conduits 45 and 46 discharging at the location of the opening 47, these conduits communicating with narrow chambers 48 and 49. The chamber 48 is under pressure while the chamber 49 is under depression by means of an air supplying duct 51 and an air extracting duct 52 respectively, so that an extended jet of air is issued from the conduit 45 across the opening 47 and is collected by the conduit 46. A curtain of air is thus formed, as shown by the arrows f, very clearly separating the area of the enclosure under slight over-pressure from the outer space wherein the cloud of electrified powder particles is located. Advantageously, one or more vibrators 50 are arranged on the enclosure 41, and preferably adjacent each upper wall defining the opening, which prevents the powder from collecting on these walls.
The invention applies to the coating of objects not only by electrostatic powdering but also by electrostatic painting.
