Definitions

  • ABSTRACT The present invention relates to spray-guns apparatus or similar apparatus for forming by pneumatic pressure a fine spray or mist of paint or other similar liquid in the form of a flat, fan-like sheet, usually directed onto a surface, characterised in that the dimensions of the hydrostatic atomizing nozzle and the feed means are calculated for withstanding paint feed pressures of 145 to 1,450 psi (10 to 100 bars) and a compressedair supply pressure of 7 to 29 psi (0.5 to 2 bars), and
  • the-..atomizing head further comprises an annular orifice concentric to said hydrostatic atomizing nozzle and supplie'd wit h compressed air under a pressure substantiallyiequal to that of the other orifices, said annular orifice being so disposed as to direct a hollow tapered air jettowards a point close to the outlet orifice of said nozzle.
  • the present invention relates to spray-gun apparatus or similar apparatus for forming by pneumatic pressure a fine spray or mist of paint or other similar liquid in the form of a flat, fan-like sheet, usually directed on to a surface.
  • Apparatus of this character are widely known, wherein a cylindrical or tapered jet of liquid paint is broken up as it emerges from the corresponding nozzle by various jets of compressed air or other gas, the effects of these interference jets being devised for converting the liquid atomized jet into a fiat, fan-shaped sheet of paint spray.
  • this conventional type of apparatus is characterised not only by a poor power efficiency but also by the fact that it requires very large outputs of compressed air or gas when a relatively large amount of paint has to be sprayed. Therefore, such apparatus involves a high and therefore costly air or gas consumption, and moreover the particles of atomized paint are driven at very high speed by the expanding compressed air, thus causing a considerable dispersion of said paint particles in the surronding atmosphere.
  • a hydrostatic atomizing nozzle is fed with paint under a relatively moderate pressure, notably lower than 67 psi (6 bars), so that said nozzle will form at least one flat, fan-shaped liquid-paint spray;
  • the spray-gun apparatus according to this invention for atomizing paint or a similar liquid comprises likewise a spray-gun, whether fixed or movable, of which the spray head comprises a nozzle for the hydrostatic atomization of paint, adapted to create a flat, fanshaped paint spray or jet, and at least two orifices disposed on either side of said nozzle for directing air jets on to the flat, fan-shaped paint spray or jet, together with means for supplying paint to said nozzle and compressed air to said orifices under suitable pressures, respectively.
  • the apparatus according to this invention is so designed that all the inconveniences characterising conventional purely hydrostatic spraygun apparatus of the two types mentioned hereinabove, without resorting to more complicated and costly means.
  • the paint atomizing apparatus is of the type broadly mentioned hereinabove, and characterised in that the dimensions of the hydrostatic atomizing nozzle and the feed means are calculated for withstanding paint feed pressures of to 1,450 psi 10 to 100 bars) and a compressed-air supply pressure of 7 to 29 psi (0.5 to 2 bars), and that atomizing head further comprises an annular orifice concentric to said hydrostatic atomizing nozzle and supplied with compressed air under a pressure substantially equal to that of the other orifices, said annular orifice being 50 disposed as to direct a hollow tapered air jet towards a point close to the outlet orifice of said nozzle.
  • the apparatus according to the present invention is free of all the inconveniences arising in devices operating under paint feed pressures above 1,450 psi (100 bars), so that lowor medium-pressure pumps can safely be associated therewith, thus reducing considerably the risks of leakage or other disturbances.
  • the pressure and output of the air utilized in the apparatus of this invention are reduced considerably in comparison with those required for operating purely pneumatic apparatus, and this constitutes an advantageous feature from the economical point of view and also in that the amount of possibly inflammable paint and notably paint vapours dispersed in the surrounding atmosphere is reduced considerably.
  • the nozzle of the atomizing head is fed with liquid paint under a pressure of 145 to 290 psi 10 to 20 bars), and its orifices are supplied with compressed air at a pressure of 22 to 29 psi (L to 2 bars).
  • the speed of the liquid paint jet issuing from the nozzle is so reduced that if no compressed-air jets were applied thereto, said jet would be only very coarsely atomized.
  • the action of the compressed air jets is sufficient for producing an extremely fine atomization as desired, by using compressed air jets considerably weaker than those required for atomizing comparably and through purely pneumatic means a liquid paint jet issuing from a large orifice (if compared with the orifices used in purely hydrostatic atomization).
  • the nozzle orifice of the apparatus according to the present invention may be considerably larger, with all the attendant advantages already described hcreinabove.
  • this nozzle may be made simply of heat-treated steel, which is obviously easier to ma chine, and more economical, than tungsten carbide.
  • the pair of additional air jets are deflected by a frustoconical surface before impinging on the flat faces of the paint jet.
  • the paint pressure (considering the specific case of an ordinary glycerol-phthalic paint at thirty'seconds with a Ford No. 4 cut, may be selected from the range of 145 to 290 psi to bars).
  • the pressure of the additional airjets delivered through a pair of side orifices having a diameter of one millimeter may be of the order of 14.5 to 29 psi l to 2 bars) and the central tapered jet is fed under a considerably lower pressure.
  • the paint and airjet assembly has a very low inherent power, less than that of a conventional airless type jet; as a result, paint mist dispersions due to rebound on painted surfaces are minimized.
  • This spray-gun apparatus may also and advantageously be utilized for atomizing paint hydrostatically.
  • the velocity of the jet of liquid paint directed through the narrow nozzle orifice is so high that the particles of atomized paint escape to a large extent the action of the directing electrostatic field prevailing between one or a plurality of electrodes equipping the atomizing head of the apparatus and the nearest objects, at ground potential, notably the articles or pieces to be painted.
  • the means for hydrostatically spraying paint or similar liquids according to the present invention further comprises a nozzle of electrically conducting material and means for applying to said conducting nozzle an electric direct current of high value in relation to the ground and to the articles and pieces to be painted.
  • the various parameters of the equipment according to this invention can easily be so selected that the initial velocity of the particles of atomized paint be low enough to cause nearly the whole of these particles to be exposed to the directing action of the electric field created by the electrically charged elements of the atomizing head, notably the nozzle for hydrostatically atomizing the paint.
  • the apparatus according to this invention though comprising a nozzle for hydrostatically atomizing paint, offers the same advantages as a purely pneumatic apparatus while having a considerably lower air consumption.
  • the atomizing head further comprises at least one primary needle-type electrode brought to the same electric voltage as the electrostatic atomizing nozzle and disposed outside the flat jet of paint, so that the point of this electrode be adjacent one flat side or face of said jet, at the level of the paint atomization front, or alternatively slightly downstream of this atomization front, and also at least one secondary insulated electrode having a first blunt end registering with the point of the primary electrode, on the opposite side of said flat jet, outside but relatively close to said flat jet, and another pointed end located at a relatively great distance from the paint jet, and so arranged that it projects preferably from the front of the spray-gun, towards the objects or piece to be painted.
  • the point of the primary electrode and the first end of the secondary electrode are preferably aligned normally to the flat paint jet.
  • This electrode arrangement is particularly advantageous in that it will cfficiently charge the sheet of atomized paint, thus reducing the percentage of paint particles escaping from the directing electric field, which are usually dispersed and lost in conventional apparatus, while positively preventing the tips of the various electrodes from becoming gradually fouled by the paint and thus lossing their electrical efficiency prematurely with time.
  • the atomizing head comprises a hydrostatic atomizing nozzle together with a primary charged electrode and a secondary insulated electrode, both electrodes being aligned normally to the flat sheet of paint.
  • the aligned points or tips of the two electrodes are located well upstream to the paint atomizing front.
  • the electrical efficiency of these electrodes increases at their distance from the likewise charged hydrostatic atomizing nozzle increases, probably because the electric field of this nozzle tends to disturb the electric field of the other electrodes and, on the other hand, the particles of atomized paint tend to foul rapidly the points or tips of said other electrodes if they are located well downstream of the paint atomizing front. Therefore, according to this invention, the ends or tips of the primary and secondary electrodes are disposed preferably at the level of the atomization front, or slightly downstream thereof, but close enough to prevent the tips of these electrodes from being fouled too rapidly by the atomized paint.
