Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rotary spray atomizer for applying electrically conductive paint, especially water paint, on surfaces with a housing, in which is a drive motor for the rotary actuation of a front, with a Paint supply connected spray head is arranged, the result of the paint supplied Rotation in a spray, and with at least two parallel to the Longitudinal axis of the housing concentrically arranged to the front, powered by at least one high voltage source and in electrode holders housed electrodes that generate an electric field that the from Spray head spray spray applied against the application surface.
  • Rotary spray atomizers have long been electrostatic in the prior art Coating with electrically conductive paint is generally known (DE 31 30 096 C2 or DE 31 51 929 C2).
  • an engine preferably an engine operated with compressed air, driven spray head the paint to be applied and due to the rotation-related Centrifugal force thrown off.
  • a grounded all around Spray field generated electrical field for use which is concentric with the help arranged tip electrodes by a common high voltage source be supplied, is generated.
  • the sprayed paint droplets are charged in the electrical field that forms between the high-voltage electrodes and the grounded spray head by ions that are created by ionization processes at the tip electrodes.
  • the surface to be coated is switched to a lower potential, usually earth, so that due to the potential difference caused by this, the color particles charged by the electric field are accelerated towards the application surface, where they stick.
  • the field strengths are before the individual tip electrodes and thus the ionization current never the same. This causes an uneven charging of the paint droplets around the atomizer and increases the likelihood of pollution. This unevenness intensifies itself during operation due to wear and dirt. With the previous technology, the different field strengths at the tip electrodes don't fix it.
  • EP 829 306 A which was not previously published, proposed that Decentralize high voltage supply to the electrodes and instead of a single one external high voltage source that supplies all electrodes in each electrode to provide a permanently installed separate high voltage source, so that the high voltage insulation of the rotary atomizer can be omitted.
  • the complete electrode unit is that is, to replace the electrode holder with the electrode regardless of which components are damaged.
  • This is neither economical nor environmentally friendly, since in the event of a detected malfunction usually only either Electrode or the high voltage source or part of the high voltage source, but not both main components are affected by damage.
  • each electrode holder plug-in cascade is arranged as a high voltage source, which the associated, each feeds the electrode arranged on the front. So the high voltage is only present the tip of the electrode holder.
  • the power supply is arranged in each electrode holder High voltage source depending on the power requirement of one of the rotary atomizers immediately adjacent low voltage DC source, for example an accumulator, or provided via a low-voltage line and thus the Requirement for complex high-voltage insulation on the electrode holder limited.
  • the housing of the rotary atomizer Insulated is insulated in accordance with the protection class known in installation technology Housing, with the retained metallic rotor shaft for the necessary grounding is used at least in sections as a conductor, with a current flowing through the air gap in the bearings does not take place because the housing is insulated and itself is accordingly on free potential. that is, there is no difference potential compared to that of the rotor shaft.
  • one at the rear end of the shaft Arrange ring of electrically conductive material which comprises the shaft and with a Earth wire is connected.
  • the gap width of the annular air gap can here be larger than with a shaft bearing, because for the reasons explained above Current flow does not exist.
  • the one arranged in each of the electrode holders is High-voltage source provided to feed the associated electrode formed as a cascade consisting of diodes and capacitors, the serves as a voltage amplifier.
  • the high voltage source can be next to the cascade also a transformer and an inverter can be integrated, which comes from the feeding DC voltage (low voltage) required to supply the cascade AC voltage generated.
  • Measuring elements for cascade current and cascade voltage are provided.
  • the electrode holder is provided with a spring element which is between the electrode and the cascade is arranged.
  • Contact needles on the one hand, with the electrode and on the other hand work together with the cascade, make the electrical connection between the cascade and the electrode safely.
  • the contact security is increased and at the same time the simple Interchangeability of the cascade guaranteed.
  • each electrode holder is designed to be removable and with a union nut or with a bayonet lock connect the assigned housing connection, whereby to avoid contact problems due to moisture or dirt entering the Gap between the respective electrode holder and the connection for this on the housing of the rotary atomizer sealing rings are used.
  • each electrodeholder evenly spaced around the case, the front end of each is designed as a tip which receives the associated electrode.
  • the radial Distance between the housing and an electrode holder should be set so that it corresponds at most to the diameter of an electrode holder.
  • the length of an electrode holder corresponds to at least five times its diameter.
  • the electrode holders are advantageous arranged on a ring that concentrically surrounds the housing.
  • the electrode holders can also each be arranged on holding arms which are attached radially to the housing.
  • FIG. 1 shows a spray atomizer 10 for processing electrically conductive application materials with a housing 12, with a spray head 11 attached to the front and two diametrically opposed electrodes 13 are shown, which the free ends 18 of electrode holders facing the front of the housing 12 24 are arranged.
  • the electrode holders 24 are axially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing 12 on one arranged rearward on the housing 12 concentrically adjoining ring 16.
  • an electrode holder 24 consists of a high voltage generator 17, which is housed in a housing 15, and a receptacle 14 for the electrode 13.
  • a contact pin 23 carries the high voltage from the high voltage generator 17 for electrode holder 14.
  • the high voltage generator is on the ring with a plug contact 20 with a low voltage supply line 19 connected.
  • the electrode holder 14 is open the housing 15 of the high voltage generator 17 screwed on, so that an exchange of the electrode without the complete change of the electrode holder 24 can.
  • the integrated in the housing 15 high voltage generator 17 is in the subsequent Ring 16 inserted interchangeably.
  • the attachment takes place by means of a Union nut 21 with thread or with bayonet lock. For sealing are arranged between the electrode holder 24 and the concentric ring 16 O-rings 22.
  • a control and / or control device can be integrated, by means of which the electrical parameters adjusted, monitored and corrected if necessary.
  • Fig. 3 is a partial section through the housing, through which is designed as a turbine Drive 40 and the spray head 11 shown.
  • the drive shaft is designed as a metallic hollow shaft 46 and is also supported in the conductive turbine housing 44. However, there is no galvanic connection between the shaft 46 and the turbine housing 44; both are by one Air gap 45 separated from each other.
  • the turbine housing 44 is insulated layer 42 isolated from other parts carrying earth potential. The commutation the current comes from the shaft 46 via an earthed ring 48.
  • the ring is made of one material, for example Made of carbon, which results in low spattering in combination with the Shaft material, preferably steel, tends.
