Definitions

  • the invention relates to a monitoring device for monitoring a treatment system and a treatment system for coating workpieces, in particular for painting, in particular vehicle bodies.
  • Treatment systems for coating workpieces in particular for painting, in particular vehicle bodies, usually contain several filter units through which flow is carried out in parallel to absorb paint particles from the so-called paint overspray.
  • loaded filter units In order to maintain a defined air balance in the treatment room of the painting booth, loaded filter units must be replaced from time to time to ensure that the air is sufficiently cleaned.
  • the time to replace a filter unit can be monitored and determined based on various criteria.
  • the number of painted workpieces within the filter service life can be used as a criterion. This is based on a conclusion about the current loading status of the filter unit based on empirical values for the degree of filling depending on the number of painting cycles.
  • the filter unit can be replaced once a specified number of painted workpieces has been reached.
  • commissioning the relationship between the number of painting cycles within the service life of a filter element and its loading status must first be determined. Under certain circumstances, this can take a relatively long time, especially since only a few car bodies are often treated in the ramp-up phase of a new treatment system.
  • the change time is carried out solely based on empirical values for the filter condition at a certain number of cycles.
  • Another possible criterion for replacing a filter unit can be that an indirect volume flow measurement is carried out by detecting a pressure difference for each filter unit via itself or via a flow resistance assigned to this filter unit in terms of flow, for example a measuring orifice. An exchange takes place if a specified pressure value or volume flow value is exceeded or fallen below.
  • Another possible criterion for replacing a filter unit can be a measurement of a static or dynamic pressure immediately downstream of each filter unit.
  • a filter unit can be replaced if a predetermined pressure value is exceeded or fallen below.
  • Another possible criterion for replacing a filter unit can be a combination of a pressure measurement and the number of painting cycles. In this way, a pressure difference can be measured across all filter units in a treatment system. Furthermore, a number of painting cycles can be recorded within the service life of each individual filter unit. If a predetermined pressure loss across the entire filter unit is exceeded, the one with the highest filling level can be identified by evaluating the number of painting cycles and scheduled for replacement.
  • the object of the invention is to create a monitoring device for monitoring a treatment system for coating workpieces, in particular for painting, in particular vehicle bodies, which makes it possible to specify an efficient criterion for replacing a filter unit.

  • the proposed monitoring device advantageously allows the combination of a pressure loss measurement across all filter units of a treatment system with an individual pressure measurement per filter unit.
  • the pressure loss measurement across all filter units in the treatment system can be used as a criterion for the fact that one or more filter units need to be changed:
  • a maximum differential pressure is reached, at least one of the filter units must be replaced in order to reduce the total pressure loss and the air volume flow to maintain.
  • the individual pressure measurement per filter unit can be used as a specific criterion for determining which filter unit needs to be replaced.
  • the measurement of the filter unit with the maximum flow resistance due to the highest load shows the highest static or lowest dynamic pressure.
  • Differential pressures compared to an ambient pressure of the treatment system are expediently used as pressure values.
  • the static differential pressure is therefore negative because it is determined on the suction side of a fan.
  • Predictive planning of a filter change ie a change of one or more of the filter units, is advantageously possible by observing the time course of the differential pressure until the limit value of the differential pressure is reached.

  • the sensor is expediently used to record the pressure value at the desired location in the filter unit.
  • the pressure can be transmitted through the particularly flexible connecting line to the pressure measuring device, which can be arranged at a convenient location in the filter unit or the treatment system.
  • the measuring sensor can have a measuring tube, in particular a cranked measuring tube, whose free opening points in the direction of flow. In order to meet the requirement of a measuring sensor with a measuring tube pointing downwards and thus in the direction of flow, the measuring sensor can be designed with a cranked tube which has a low-contamination opening in the direction of flow.
  • the measuring sensor can have a measuring nozzle for detachable connection to a housing of the filter unit.

  • the sensor can also conveniently be easily removed for cleaning purposes.
  • the measuring tube can have a connecting piece for connecting the measuring tube to the connecting line.
  • the connecting piece With the connecting piece, the connecting line can be conveniently connected to the measuring tube. If necessary, the connecting line can also be removed again to replace the measuring tube or connecting line.
  • a treatment system for coating workpieces, in particular for painting, in particular vehicle bodies, with a monitoring device comprises at least one treatment room with an inlet for supplying air into the treatment room, a plurality of parallel flow filter units with at least one filter, which filter the air removed from the treatment room.

  • the treatment system can further comprise a counting device for each filter unit for recording a number and/or duration of coating cycles carried out.
  • a counting device for each filter unit for recording a number and/or duration of coating cycles carried out.
  • Liquid or low-viscosity coating media are still so flowable in the filter that they run down the filter structure, whereby they collect in the bottom area of the filter units and therefore only slightly hinder the flow through the filter material.
  • the filter elements must be replaced in this case in order to prevent the filters from “overflowing” and the resulting contamination of the system components.
  • Non-liquid coating media can no longer flow in the filter. As the filter load increases, these increasingly clog the filter structure and thus significantly increase the flow resistance. In this case, the filters are replaced when a certain load is reached in order to continue to be able to maintain the required volume flow through the entire filter.

  • one of the filter units of the treatment system or treatment zone exceeds a defined weight mark with regard to the coating media content (e.g. 120 kg), it must be replaced.
  • the calculation can be based on a generally linear relationship determined, for example during commissioning, between the number of coating cycles within the service life of a filter element and its loading state. Both scenarios can be reliably recorded if there is a combination of, on the one hand, global pressure loss measurement across all filter units of a treatment system or treatment zone with an individual pressure measurement per filter unit (trolley) and, on the other hand, a counting device (e.g. skid counter).
  • a software module assigned to the current location of the filter unit in the coating system can advantageously be used, which establishes a relationship between the current counter reading and a counter setpoint value, which assumes that the target weight specified for this filter unit has been reached for the coating media content.

  • a filter unit when a filter unit is docked again, it can also be checked whether a filter change has actually taken place. For this purpose, a check can be carried out to determine whether a filter unit has been docked with filters that are not loaded at all or with filters that are less loaded. This will usually be a different filter unit, but could also be the same filter unit if it has been fitted with fresh filters in the meantime.
  • the first and second pressure measuring devices can be used for checking.
  • the first pressure measuring device can generally be more sensitive since it is related to the individual filter unit. Therefore, this measurement can preferably, but not necessarily, be used.
  • the counting device can be reset manually, for example by resetting the counter on a visualization of the counting device.
  • the counting device can be reset automatically. Using an RFID reading head on the filter unit dock, the RFID tag of each filter unit is recorded and checked.
