Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a powder conveyor. Further refers It is a process for operating this powder conveyor.
  • the present powder conveyor is mainly for use intended in powder coating plants.
  • these plants is colored powder by e.g. powder conveying units immersed in commercially available powder containers transported via lines to powder spray guns.
  • the powder promotion is usually by means of injectors.
  • Injector delivery has a number of disadvantages with himself. On the one hand results in a large air consumption and on the other hand a much too high powder speed. This has a Ansintern of the lines result.
  • the powder also shoots past the workpiece. It results in a poor Umgriff and too much powder cloud.
  • facilities with alternately fillable and emptied container-like metering chambers In any case, a reproducible, very accurate flow rate not possible.
  • Sophisticated coatings such as metallic coatings, can therefore be hardly apply in consistent color and quality. Not least high wear costs arise at the injector and at the lines.
  • the invention sets itself the task to provide a powder conveyor which is a powdered medium with definable volume, even and with the smallest possible Use of a gaseous medium promotes. Furthermore, a method for Operation of this powder conveyor can be specified.
  • the inventive powder conveyor corresponds to the characterizing Features of claim 1.
  • the method of operation This powder conveyor is shown in claim 15. Further advantageous embodiments of the inventive concept go from the dependent claims.
  • the present powder conveyor can in powder coating systems the amount of air and powder are significantly reduced.
  • Metallic coatings are also problem-free and in high surface quality possible.
  • a color change brings no loss of powder with it.
  • the closed system results in a dirt-free work.
  • the powder output is uniform and reproducible, even with different Powder material.
  • the powder cloud can also be used with cable lengths over 20 meters.
  • the production capacity is increased, due to higher chain speed and much faster color change.
  • the wear costs are low.
  • the system is very user-friendly. The operation always remains the same, so too changing auxiliary personnel can be used.
  • This support line will be initially formed by a supply line 2, which is technically known Way is to immerse in a powder container, especially in a commercial Powder container or in a likewise known powder fluid container. It is also possible to interpose a powder sieving device, for example, an ultrasonic sieve.
  • Essential for the invention is the arrangement of a peristaltic pump 1, i.e. a peristaltic pump, for conveying the powdery medium.
  • the supply line 2 opens into a conveyor line continuing, flexible peristaltic tube 3, for example a silicone tube.
  • the peristaltic tube 3 then leads to a discharge line 4, to which a known powder spray gun can be connected.
  • Peristaltic or peristaltic pumps are in themselves only for conveying of liquids usable. At most, the liquid may have a certain Contain solid content. In contrast, powdery media tend to in the peristaltic tube repeatedly squeezed during pumping 3. The promotion would be disturbed or even blocked. For this reason, were so far peristaltic pumps for the unusable for this purpose. In the inventive powder conveyor However, this problem is solved.
  • Peristaltic pump 1 used.
  • This has a rotation element 5, For example, a rotating about a rotation axis disc.
  • At this Rotary element 5 is arranged at least one pressing element, the to press on the peristaltic tube 3 is determined. Preferably it is to two idler rollers 6 and 7, which are diametrically opposed are opposite.
  • the conveying direction of the peristaltic pump. 1 corresponding rotational direction R of the rotary element 5 is shown in Fig. 1st indicated with an arrow.
  • the peristaltic tube 3 is in a coaxial guided around the axis of rotation of the rotary element 5 pitch circle such, that it lies in the area of action of the rollers 6 and 7.
  • each one of the rollers. 6 or 7 passes the peristaltic tube 3, this is between the respective Roller 6 or 7 and a circular or part-circular guide wall. 8 the peristaltic pump 1 squeezed. As a result, the internal cross section is at this point of the peristaltic tube 3 closed.
  • the one in the sphere of influence the rollers 6 and 7 lying, part-circular portion 9 of the Peristaltic tube 3 extends over approximately 158 degrees of angle. Thereafter, the peristaltic tube 3 is preferably bent outwards, i.e. away from the turning circle of the rollers 6 and 7.
  • an inlet 10 for a gaseous medium is provided, in particular Compressed air.
  • the inlet 10 consists for example of a tubular Adapter with transverse bore and preferably has one Solenoid valve on.
  • a closing device 11 is arranged, for example one with a lifting cylinder operable squeezing device 12.
  • a second Inlet 13 is arranged in the conveying direction after the peristaltic pump 1 .
  • the first inlet 10 can this also consist of a spacer with transverse bore.
  • the intermediate piece can at the same time also the connection of the peristaltic tube 3 with the discharge line 4 serve.
  • the second for example formed as a nozzle inlet 13 is also a gaseous Medium, injected in particular compressed air.
  • the air supply through the inlet 13 can then be briefly reduced or be interrupted when the inlet 10 is briefly opened.
  • locomotive movement of the peristaltic tube 3 is a certain amount of powdered Aspirated medium.
  • the controller closes the closing device 11 and blows through the inlet 10, the gaseous medium.
  • the locomotive Roller 6 or 7 has passed the end of section 9 opens the passage in the direction of discharge 4.
  • the powdery Medium can escape in conveying or ejection direction. In this Moment already begins the second roll 6 or 7 the next bruise. This also makes the previously located powdery medium pushed in conveying direction.
  • the closing device 11 is open again, the inlet 10 too.
  • New powdery medium is sucked in. ever after the rotational speed of the rotary element 5, always get new powder portions at short intervals in the discharge line 4.
  • the injected through the second inlet 13 gaseous medium, especially compressed air, causes a uniform emission of the mixture made of powder and gas.
  • the flow volume can be adjusted continuously become.
  • the powdered medium not - as previously u.a. was common - from a supply line in a special, alternately fillable and emptying dosing and from this in turn led to a discharge.
  • the form Feed line 2, the peristaltic tube 3 and the discharge line 4 a continuous delivery line with approximately the same inner cross section. It is obvious that this is advantageous in terms of material handling. It is in rest noted that both the supply line 1 as well the discharge line 4 - like the peristaltic tube 3 - usually consist of a flexible hose. An exchange of these parts is thus neither time nor cost intensive.
  • the powdery medium can be over a distance of at least Aspirate for 3 m and convey over a distance of not more than 40 m.
  • the through this powder conveyor compared to the previous Injektor concept achieved values are very remarkable.
  • the hose diameter can be 400% smaller, the powder speed 4x lower, the air consumption 10x lower and the material charge, i. the applied Amount of powder, higher.
  • the powder conveyor in detail also differently than previously described execute. So could the Peristaltic pump according to Fig. 3 theoretically linear, as a so-called finger pump be constructed, in the juxtaposed fingers 14, i.e. Pressing elements, one after the other in the conveying direction on the flexible Press peristaltic tube 3. Technically, these pressing elements the squeezing closure device 11 correspond.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates at the same time generally the function of the peristaltic pump 1, with the squeezing point advancing in the conveying direction.
  • a multi-channel peristaltic pump is also used, in the case of the same drive, several parallel peristaltic tubes 3 are applied. This can be done on the same drive shaft a plurality of rotary elements 5 with the respective rollers 6 and 7 be arranged.
  • the work of the same peristaltic pump not only for conveying the powdery medium, but also for Promotion of the gaseous medium, i. Formation of the required compressed air to use.
  • the peristaltic tube could 4 as a double tube 15, with two parallel extending chambers 16 and 17 may be formed.
