Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rotary atomizer according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • it is high-rotation atomizer, which are needed for the electrostatic serial coating of workpieces such as vehicle bodies using the known side and roof machines and painting robots.
  • the electrostatic rotary atomizers are known to be externally charged in many cases, so that the atomizer bells that are at high voltage potential during direct or contact charging can be grounded and thus not isolated from the grounded paint supply system must, for which the well-known, relatively expensive potential separation systems would be required.
  • external charging may also be preferred or combined with direct charging for other reasons, for example to improve the application efficiency defined as the ratio of the amount of particles depositing on the workpiece to the amount of particles being sprayed ( DE 4105116 ).
  • the electrodes are arranged in elongated insulating bodies in the now commonplace atomizers for external charging, which protrude from a directly attached to a rear part of the outer housing annular body axially toward the workpieces to be coated, in which case the ionization ends of the electrodes in a considerable radial distance from the outside of the housing are arranged (Dürr / Behr, Technical Manual, Introduction to the technology in the car paint, 04/1999; EP 0767005 ; DE 19909369 etc.).
  • these conventional electrode holder designs have the disadvantage that they due to their bulky outer shape in coating systems with painting robots whose movement and operation options Restrict, for example, because narrow angular or internal areas of the workpieces are difficult or impossible to reach, or because they impede the desired in some coating systems replacement of atomizers in automatic changing stations.
  • a further problem of the known atomizers of the type under consideration consists in the fact that the electrode tips arranged radially far outside of the bell cup are prone to fouling, in particular by self-coating. This is not only undesirable because of the risk of contamination of the workpieces to be coated by later detaching paint and other particles, but also because of the pollution, the electric field is deteriorated, resulting in a reduction of the application efficiency and then even stronger self-coating Episode has. Field weakening can also be caused by overspray particles are, ie sprayed on the workpiece and then "vagabond" paint droplets that can be reflected on the electrode tips of the moving through the overspray cloud atomizer.
  • the DE 197 09 786 A discloses an atomizer for the electrostatic series coating of workpieces with coating powder emerging from a nozzle of an insulating material housing.
  • needle electrodes connected to a high-voltage device for the electrostatic charging of the sprayed coating powder are arranged.
  • Similar spraying devices with electrodes arranged directly on the outside of the atomizer housing or at a small distance are also made US 5 686 149 respectively.
  • US 5,928,731 known. These are not rotary atomizers.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a smallest possible electrostatic rotary atomizer which is also suitable for coating systems with painting robots, which enables a better application efficiency in a simple manner, that is to say in particular without frequent cleaning work.
  • the charging electrodes are integrated directly into or on the housing without gap or external distance between their ionization ends and the outside of the atomizer housing.
  • the invention surprisingly reduces the tendency of the atomizer to self-coat the electrode tips and, accordingly, both the application efficiency and the useful life of the atomizers in operation are improved.
  • One possible reason for this is the greater proximity of the ionization ends of the electrodes to the sprayer atomizer spray tip of a rotary atomizer, with the result that the radially sprayed paint particles are rapidly and reliably charged in a region of high field line concentration and correspondingly highly ionized air before moving farther from the atomizer Remove spray head. Since the density of the field lines is greatest at sharp edges and tips, the chargeability of the paint particles decreases with increasing distance from the electrodes and the bell cup.
  • the paint droplets become increasingly drier according to their distance from the bell cup, also by the spray jet directed from the atomizer to the atomized coating material directing air, whereby the chargeability is reduced.
  • the spray jet directed from the atomizer to the atomized coating material directing air, whereby the chargeability is reduced.
  • a particular advantage of the invention is that good application efficiency and low self-coating tendency are achieved by a compact design without the usual electrode holder projecting from the housing.
  • This compact outer shape is favorable especially in the electrostatically assisted robot painting hard to reach workpiece areas and especially of workpiece interiors and also facilitates both manual or automated cleaning of the atomizer and automatic change of the atomizer or its spray head in a corresponding change station.
  • the compact design and low mass of the atomizer improves its dynamic mobility on a robot and other coating machines.
  • the invention is suitable for electrostatic high-speed rotary atomizers and even better than before a meaningful alternative to the complex potential separation systems in the electrostatic coating with conductive coating material such.
  • the charging electrodes directly on or in the housing their number may be substantially greater than that of e.g. only six outer electrodes of today conventional rotary atomizer, resulting from the invention also has a more uniform spray pattern.
  • the application efficiency increases with the possible number of charging electrodes, since the corona effect of many electrodes charges more air molecules, which transfer their charges to the coating material.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shown Hochrotationszerstäuber contains in its outer housing body 1 of the illustrated, in essential hollow cylindrical shape in a conventional and conventional manner a driven with compressed air turbine 2, on the hollow shaft 3 of the front end of the housing body 1 rotating bell cup 4 is mounted.
  • a driven with compressed air turbine 2 on the hollow shaft 3 of the front end of the housing body 1 rotating bell cup 4 is mounted.
  • Through the hollow shaft 3 is known to extend in a paint tube construction 5, the line for the coating material to the bell cup 4th
  • a holding body 6 is placed for a high-voltage supply, concentrically enclosing the housing body 1 with its cylindrical ring member 61, and at the radially extending end wall 62 in the axial direction outwardly a high voltage cable holder 63 is attached.
  • annular body 8 On the side facing the bell cup 4 of the housing body 1 sits on the peripheral surface adjacent to the holding body 6, an annular body 8, at its rear end a projection 81 is formed with evenly distributed around the axis of rotation of the atomizer bores, which extends axially parallel in the holding body 6 , The outer surfaces of the annular body 8 and the holding body 6 form a step and gapless transition.
  • the housing body 1, the annular body 8 and the holding body 6 are made of insulating material, in particular the body 1 and 6, but also the annular body 8 may consist of PTFE, which is particularly prone to contamination due to its surface properties.
  • the bell cup 4 of an atomizer of the type illustrated could operate at a convenient high voltage potential for direct charging, it is here assumed that the coating material radially sprayed from its rotating edge is initially uncharged and is to be charged by an electric field outside the atomizer.
  • a ring of the rotation axis on a concentric circle with uniform angular intervals surrounding needle electrodes 10 which lie in the illustrated example with the front end of the atomizer and thus the workpieces to be coated facing peaks parallel to the axis of rotation. Instead, they could also be inclined or angled against the direction of the axis of rotation.
  • the electrodes may be embedded so that the ends of their tips are gap-free (without recess) flush with the surrounding end face 82 or other surface of the insulating ring member, so here the ring body 8, so that the electrode tips do not pollute and possibly necessary Cleaning the surrounding surface areas of the ring body is not hindered.
  • Another possibility is the arrangement of the needle tips in depressions of the surrounding insulating surface, which can be filled with a non-weakening the electrostatic field mass or possibly covered with a thin protective film.
  • the needle electrodes 10 can be electrically connected in each case via a damping resistor 12 inserted into the bore of the projection 81 of the annular body 8 with a circular ring conductor 14 concentric with the axis of rotation, which is seated in the holding body 6 in isolation and in turn via one or more radially arranged further high-voltage conductors 15 and an axial connection means which may include a further resistor 16 located in the cable holder 63 is connected to the high voltage cable 17.
  • the ring conductor 14 connects all electrodes 10 to the cable 17.
  • the high-voltage generator usually consisting of a compact cascade construction does not have to be connected to the electrode arrangement via an external cable such as 17, but can also be installed directly in or on the atomizer. It is also possible to provide for each electrode or individual electrode groups each have their own high voltage generator, for example, in the bore of the approach 81 similar recesses in the vicinity of the electrodes.
  • the radial distance of the tips of the needle electrodes 10 from the axis of rotation of the atomizer and thus of the spray edge 4 'of the bell cup 4 is substantially smaller than in the currently conventional comparable atomizers.
  • the radial distance of the electrode tips from the spray-off edge 4 ' is smaller in the illustrated example than the diameter thereof, in contrast to, for example, the EP 0171042 and 0238031 according to which it should be larger than twice the edge diameter.
  • the radial distance of the distributed around the longitudinal axis of the atomizer ie the central axis of the ink nozzle charging electrodes of the electrically conductive parts on the circumference of the spray head should be correspondingly low. It is essential Further, that the electrode tips in the axial direction at such a distance behind the spray edge 4 'of the bell cup 4 (or behind the electrically conductive parts of the spray head eg an air atomizer) are reset, that the required air insulation distance between the possibly grounded spray head and the electrode assembly complied and the ion current flowing between them through the charged air remains limited to acceptable levels.
  • a reliable grounding of the respective components of the atomizer may be important, these components such as the coating material supplying the spray head and adjacent components expedient from electrically poor or non-conductive materials such as plastic or ceramic can exist.
  • Fig. 2 is the electrode arrangement of a large extent Fig. 1 corresponding atomizer with here, for example, twelve evenly distributed around the axis of rotation electrode tips 102 in the end face 82 of the on the housing body 1 'patch ring body 8' spatially recognizable.
  • Fig. 2 an inserted in the front opening of the housing body 1 'shaping air ring 20 with a ring concentrically around the axis of rotation distributed air nozzles 21 recognizable.
  • the directing air ring has the known function of bringing the spray into a desired shape and to apply the sprayed coating material with an axial component in the direction of the workpieces to be coated.
  • the shaping air can be a cause of deteriorated charging in particular in the known atomizers per se, since it dries the sprayed paint particles and thereby reduces their chargeability with increasing distance from the spray-off.
  • the paint droplets it proves to be advantageous for the paint droplets to be located directly on the spray-off edge, ie still in the largely "wet" state, due to the radial proximity of the electrode assembly reach in a range of high field line density and are correspondingly well chargeable by the particularly highly ionized air there.
  • the ring body 8 are preferably located directly on the electrode tips or in the vicinity, to grant an additional component of movement in the direction of the spray head and thus to sprayed there paint particles.
  • the outer casing body 1 directed air prevented in this area at the same time a contamination of the outer housing and also serves as an additional steering device for vaping paint particles in the axial direction to the workpiece.
  • a ring of air holes and an annular nozzle-like air gap can be provided.

  • air of increased humidity or a conductivity-increasing gas to blow and / or the exiting air to add a conductivity-increasing gas As air of increased humidity or a conductivity-increasing gas to blow and / or the exiting air to add a conductivity-increasing gas.
  • corona ionization increasing gases is conceivable.
  • a conductive paint particle layer on the outside of the nebulizer housing could form lead bridges between the electrodes and grounded parts of the nebulizer. Similar to an air or gas envelope laying around the atomizer housing can also be avoided by contaminating the housing by enclosing the housing and preferably the entire outer surface of the atomiser by a shell made of a porous, air-permeable material (see also the already mentioned above EP 0283918 ). Another possible measure against contamination or self-coating of the outside of the atomizer is to produce the surfaces of the housing and / or other vulnerable outer parts of a material having the property of particularly low wettability and / or the static electrical charge in the sense of low tendency to fouling affected.

Similar to in Fig. 3 Here, too, the bell cup 44 itself (in contrast to the sprayed paint particles) is shielded by an axially projecting end ring 41 against excessive field line concentration.
