Definitions

  • Our invention relates to an apparatus provided for coating purposes, chiefly by means of paint and forming part of a stationary plant, or else forming a portable apparatus and incorporating at least one atomizing head and improved by the application of an electric field between the head and the parts to be coated.
  • Our invention has for its object means for preventing such returns of particles and, to this end, we produce an ionized area extending between the operator and the atomizing head standing in front of him, said ionized area being directed radially at the level of the atomizing apparatus and bending rearwardly as it is considered nearer the operator so as to form a screen of ions, the polarity of which is the same as that of the particles projected by the atomizing head.
  • Our invention forms thus a rearwardly extending ionizing area which acts after the manner of an electrostatic bar preventing the particles of material projected by the atomizing head from returning rearwardly for any reason whatever. It should be remarked, however, that the atomizing area produces no substantial modification in the electrostatic field arising between the atomizing head and the article to be coated, so that the atomizing and impact phenomena are by no means modified.
  • said ionizing area is produced by a series of ionizing means distributed peripherally around the body of the apparatus and located to the rear of the atomizing head, so as to face the actual body of the apparatus.
  • Said ionizing means are raised to a potential of the same sign as that of the atomizing head, either directly or through the agency of efiluvia or of resistances ensuring a slight drop in voltage, whereby ions are provided the projection of which opposes the rearward movements of the particles.
  • an electrostatic projecting apparatus with an auxiliary electrode located at the level of the atom izing head, so as to enclose preferably said atomizing head.
  • Said auxiliary electrode which is brought to a potential which is intermediate between the potential of the atomizing head and that of the articles or parts to be treated, provides merely a closing up of the bundle of lines of force of the main field towards the articles to be coated.
  • the object of such an intermediate electrode consists therefore in producing a second field directed towards the article to be coated, which second field encloses the main field and concentrates it.
  • the ionizing means according to our invention cannot be compared with such an auxiliary electrode, which does not produce any ion, and, on the other hand, by reason of the arrangement of the present ionizing means to the rear of the atomizing head, it has practically no influence on the lines of force of the main field except those lines of force which are directed towards the operator to the rear.
  • a ring of insulating material coaxial with the shaft driving the rotary disc, said ring ending in registry with and at a short distance from the rear surface of said disc.
  • the terminal section of the insulating ring registering with and located at a small distance from the rotary disc, to be bevelled so as to show a somewhat sharp edge, while the inner terminal surface of the ring is adapted to carry a socket of semiconductive material, the end of which is also provided with a bevelled edge adjacent the edge of the disc, said socket being also subjected to a high DC. voltage, preferably through the agency of one or more electrically resistant elements distributed coaxially with reference to the rotary shaft.
  • Said semi-conductive ring is designed so as to cut out any risk of fortuitous discharges for the case where the atomizing head is brought into the immediate proximity of an object at a very different potential.
  • the electrically resistant elements are in contact with a radial conductive or semi-conductive plate which is fed by a line feeding high voltage, whereby the ionizing ring is practically at the same potential as the high voltage supplied.
  • the electrically resistant elements are in contact with a plurality of semi-conductive rods arranged along the periphery of and at a short distance from the edge of a radial conductive or semiconductive plate fed by the lead feeding the high voltage, the other ends of said rods being connected with the auxiliary ionizing projections, in which case, the ionizing protecting ring is brought to a potential which is slightly less than that of the high voltage supplied.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a conventional spraying gun operated by a Workman.
  • FIG. 2 is a similar view in the case of our improved spraying gun.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view, with certain parts shown broken away and in section, [of the end of the carrier of an electrostatic head provided with ionizing means designed in conformity with our invention, said means rotating in unison with the atomizing or spray-coating means.
  • FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3, wherein the ionizing means are stationary in accordance with a modification and are rigidly carried vby the head support.
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary axial sectional view of a spraycoating head according to our invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentary axial sectional view of a dilferent embodiment of a spray-coating head according to our invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view, with certain parts shown broken away and in section, of the atomizing head according to FIG. 6.
  • an operator holds in his hand a spray-coating gun 1 of a conventional type carrying an atomizing head constituted by a rotary disc 2 revolving at a high speed of a magnitude of 3,000 rpm. so that the atomization may be obtained through the combined action of centrifugal force and of an electrostatic field.
  • a pipe feeding liquid paint Into the butt 3 of the gun are engaged in a conventional manner a pipe feeding liquid paint, a low voltage lead for the feeding of a power unit 4 driving the disc 2 through the agency of an insulating shaft housed inside the body of the gun and a. lead for high D.C. voltage adapted to set the atomizing or spray-coating head at a high potential of a magnitude of say 90 kv. with reference to the article 5 to be coated, which article is grounded.
  • the portable gun I is equipped in the vicinity of the atomizing head 2 with ionizing means 6 forming an ionized area f extending towards the operator.
  • the ions are lloaded with the same sign as the particles of paint moving along the lines of force P, so that all the particles liable to return towards the operator are held back by said ionizing area.
  • FIG. 3 and the end 7 of the head support is shown with the metal end 8 of the shaft controlled by the motor 4 (FIG. 2), while the intermediate insulating shaft is not illustrated.
  • Excellent results have been obtained with an insulating disc 2 producing a more concentrated impact on the article to be painted and which furthers the protection against sparks, provided by the ionizing means as disclosed hereinafter.
  • the disc 2 may be of the type disclosed in the copending Specification Ser. No. 204,562, filed on June 22, 1962 by Marcel Auguste Roger Point and relating to Improvements in Liquid-Atomizing Heads for the Coating of Articles, now Patent No. 3,148,832.
  • a paint-feeding pipe carried by the support 7 terminates with a metal injector 9 extending in parallelism with the axis of the head and in the vicinity of the latter.
  • the atomizing disc 2 is mechanically rigid with an insulating fitting 10 which serves as a support for the ionizing means 6 illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • Said fitting 10 includes at its rear end a ring 11 surrounding ooaxially at a small distance a conductive or semi-conductive plate 12 rigid with the support 7 carrying the head and in contact with the end of the lead 13 connected with one of the terminals of the supply of high voltage DC.
  • the ionizing means 6 include a number of pins or points 14 the number of which is eight in the embodiment illustrated, said pins extending radially in an outward direction, so as to project beyond the corresponding radial extensions of the insulating fitting 10, carrying said pins.
  • FIG. 4 An example of the distribution of such ionizing pins 14 is illustrated in FIG. 4, but, obviously, their number and relative arrangement are not necessarily those illustrated, and it is sufiicient for them to be arranged in a manner such that they may provide a screen of ions in accordance with our invention, said screen starting from the vicinity of the atomizing disc 2 and extending between the latter and the operator.
  • Said pins may be made of metal or else show a high electric resistivity or they may be insulating and carry a highly resistant coat.
  • Said pins are raised to a potential of the same sign as the atomizing disc 2 and the value of which is slightly less than that of the potential of said disc with reference to the article 5. Said result is obtained by means of efiiuvia 17 as produced between the pate 12 connected with the high voltage lead 13 and semi-conductive rods 15 housed obliquely inside the insulating fitting 10 and one of the ends of each of which is in contacting relationship with the corresponding pin 14, their other ends 16 projecting beyond said fitting 10.
  • the semi-conductive rods 15 have furthermore for their object to prevent the jumping of sparks between the metal injector 9 through which the paint is projected and any grounded article which lies too near the electrostatic head.
  • the outer size of the ionizing means 6 is substantially equal to or slightly larger than that of the atomizing member 2.
  • the invention is also applicable as a modification with stationary ionizing means 6 rigid with the end of the head support 7 in which therefore only the atomizing disc 2 rotates.
  • the ionizing means 6 are secured in any suitable manner to the end of the support 7 for the head.
  • the fitting 10 of FIG. 3 is modified as illustrated in FIG. 4, which latter figure shows cross-sectionally the modified shape 10' of said fitting to be used for the present modification.
  • the atomizing head includes a disc 21 rigid with the end of a rotary shaft 22 revolving in an insulating part 23 which is only partly illustrated, said shaft being driven at a high speed by a motor which is not illustrated in FIG. 5.
  • the disc 21 is made of an insulating material provided with annular striations 24 or corrugations, and it ineludes an axial tapped extension 25 into which is screwed the threaded end of the shaft 22.
  • the liquid is fed to the disc through an insulating channel 26 extending through the insulating part 23 and opening into a nozzle 27.
  • the nozzle 27 is in registry with an annular groove 28 extending around the extension 25.
  • a conductive or semi-conductive plate 30 is connected with a lead 31 under a high DC. voltage.
  • the plate is secured over the terminal surface 29 of the insulating body 23.
  • a plurality of semi-conductive rods 33 which slope slightly with reference to the axis of the atomizing head; the rear end of each rod 33 is in contacting relationship with one or more auxiliary ionizing pins 34 embedded radially inside the mass of the insulating ring 32.
  • the front ends of the rods 33 are respectively in contact with a plurality of electrically resistant members 35.
  • a conductive or semi-conductive ring 39 is fitted between the ends of the resistant members 35 and the bevelled edge 38.
  • the disc 21 revolves at a high speed of, say 3,000 rpm, which is sufiicient for ensuring even without any electrostatic field an atomization under the action of the centrifugal force of the liquid projected through the nozzle 27, and the high voltage current passes in the shape of efiluvia leading to a slight drop in voltage in the interval between the plate 30 and the rods 33, from which the current fiows into the ionizing pins 34, so as to produce the ionizing screen in the manner disclosed.
  • the insulating annular extension 37 of the ring 32 encloses the conductive means leading to the atomizing disc and, in particular, the threaded end of the driving shaft. This results in a cutting off of any fortuitous discharge between said conductive means and other articles lying too near the head, in particular when the disc 21 has been removed with a view to replacing it by another disc or to cleaning the atomizing head.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 corresponding parts of the atomizing head carry the same reference numbers as in the FIG. 5 embodiment.
  • the rods 33 of FIG. 5 are omitted in FIGS. 6 and 7, and the resistant members 35 are in direct contacting relationship with the conductive or semi-conductive plate 30 and are fed without any drop in voltage in the efiluvia which are now transferred directly on to the ionizing pins 34.
