Definitions

the invention relates to a device for the automatic spray coating of objects according to the preamble of claim 1.
the device according to the invention is preferably used as a so-called "roof machine” for automatically coating the front, roof and rear surfaces of automobile bodies with paint, usually paint.
the car bodies are transported on a conveyor belt.
the object of the invention is to reduce or avoid the disadvantages mentioned and, in particular, to provide a device which disturbs the air flow in the spray booth less and which is less polluted than the known devices, the device being designed in such a way that with her one or more Atomizers can be moved in any straight or curved movement paths, each without impairing other of the criteria mentioned.
the invention provides a device, in particular a roof machine for automatic spray coating of automobile bodies, by means of which the disadvantages mentioned are eliminated or at least minimized.
the invention makes it possible to arrange many parts of the device not in the spray booth but outside the spray booth. In particular, it is possible to arrange essential parts of the device in one plane and to form them as part of the inner wall of the spray booth.
the advantageous linear air flow in the spray booth can be largely maintained, and the contamination of the device is greatly reduced.
any curved and any linear movements can be generated in one plane of the cabin wall and can be transferred to a spraying device.
Another significant advantage is that the device according to the invention can be easily integrated into existing spray booths. For this purpose, only wall parts of the spray booth need to be removed and replaced by the device according to the invention.
the device according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is designed such that side wall parts of a spray booth on both longitudinal sides of the cabin are replaced by a frame 2 of the device.
a disk 4 with a large diameter is accommodated and rotatably supported, the inner surface 6 of which is preferably provided with the inner surface 8 of the frame 2 lies in one plane.
the disks 4 of the two frames 2 are arranged opposite one another and axially to one another. They are each next to the path of movement of the automobile bodies 10 to be coated.
the automobile bodies 10 are transported on a conveyor belt 12 in a known manner through the cabin and thus also between the two disks 4.
the parts of the side walls of the cabin lying next to the frame 2 are provided with the reference numbers 14 and 16 in FIG. 2.
the cabin floor is formed in a known manner by a grate 18, and the cabin ceiling is formed by a filter 20 which filters the air which flows slowly and laminarly through the cabin in a known manner from top to bottom.
the large panes 4, referred to below as the first panes are each driven by a motor 22a and 22b, which are arranged on the outside of the cabin and fastened to the frame 2.
the two motors 22a and 22b drive the first two disks 4 synchronously, ie at the same speed.
the synchronous running of the first two disks 4 can be ensured by known electrical circuits or mechanically by a shaft 24 connecting them. However, a known electrical circuit is preferred since the shaft 24 can disrupt the air flow in the cabin.
the motors can be electric motors or another known drive device.
the first disks 4 are provided with a ring gear 26, in which a gear 28 engages, which sits on the shaft of each motor 22a and 22b.
Eccentric to its axis of rotation 30, a smaller disk 32 is integrated in the first disk 4, the surface 34 of which lies on the inside of the cabin is preferably aligned with the inner surface 6 of the first disk 4.
the axis of rotation 36 of the second disk 32 is offset eccentrically parallel to the axis of rotation 30 of the first disk 4.
a motor 28a or 28b is attached to the two first disks 4 on the outside of the cabin thereof, on whose shaft a gearwheel 38 is seated, which engages with a ring gear 40 of the second disk 32 in each case.
the two motors 28a and 28b must drive the two second disks 32, which are axially spaced from one another, at the same rotational speeds.
This synchronism or synchronism can be effected in a similar manner to the motors 22a and 22b of the first disks 4 by an electrical synchronization circuit or mechanically in a known manner.
electrical synchronization is preferable to mechanical synchronization so that no components inside the cabin disrupt the air flow.
At least one carrier 44 is rotatably supported in the two second disks 32, the axis of rotation 46 of which is arranged offset eccentrically parallel to the axis of rotation 36 of the second disks 32.
a motor 48 is fastened on its outside, on the shaft of which a gearwheel 50 is seated, which meshes with a ring gear 52 of the carrier 44, so that the motor 48 can rotate the carrier 44 about its axis of rotation 46 .
the motors 22a, 22b, 28a and 28b and 48 are preferably electric motors. However, they could also be hydrostatic motors.
Another known drive device could also be used in a modified embodiment. Instead of the rotational movement transmission by gear wheels 28, 38 and 50 and ring gears 26, 40 and 52, it is also possible to drive the first disks 4 and second disks 32 and the carrier 44 by other drive means, for example by chains or belts.
the first disks 4 can be mounted radially by guide wheels, in the present case guide gears 54, which are rotatably mounted on the frame 8.
the second can Discs 32 are stored radially.
Guide elements 56 can be attached to the frame for lateral guidance of the first pane 4. Similar guide elements 56 on the first disks 4 can also be used to axially guide the second disks 32 therein.
the carrier 44 carries a spray device in the form of, for example, three atomizers 60. Furthermore, a linear lifting device 62 is integrated in the carrier 44, with which the atomizers move in the direction of the axis of rotation 46 of the carrier 44, and thus axially parallel to the axes of rotation 30 and 36 of the first disks 4 and the second disks 32, can be moved together or individually optionally.
the linear lifting device 62 can, for example, contain an electric motor 64, which drives a threaded nut in a known manner, through which a threaded spindle 66 of the linear lifting device 62 is moved axially.
other drive means are also possible, for example toothed belt drives or piston-cylinder drives.
the carrier 44 By rotating the first disks 4 combined with rotating movements of the second disks 32, the carrier 44 can optionally be moved linearly and in any curved movement paths in the cabin longitudinal direction and in the cabin vertical direction.
the carrier 44 can thus be brought with the spray device 60 to any desired location above, in front of and behind an automobile body to be coated.
the spray device 60 can be set in any spray direction relative to the automobile body 10 to be coated. This also makes it possible to move the spray device 60 together with a transported automobile body 10 or against its direction of movement or in such a way that the spray device 60 does not perform any relative movement relative to the automobile body 10.
the device is a so-called roof machine because it can be used to coat the surfaces of automobile bodies facing upwards.
the device can also be used to coat surfaces of automobile bodies pointing forwards and backwards.
FIG. 3 The device according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown schematically in FIG. 3.
rotations around the Y axis are also called rotations "B”; Rotations around the X axis as rotations “A”; and rotations about the Z axis are referred to as rotations "C”.
the automobile bodies 10 to be coated are moved in the Y axis.
the axes of rotation 30 and 36 of the first disks 4 and the second disks 32 extend along the X axis and allow rotation "A" of each disc.
the axis of rotation 46 of the carrier 44 also extends in the direction of the X axis and enables rotations "A".
the device according to the invention can replace conventional roof machines and robots, which were previously used for spray coating roofs, hoods and Trunk covers of automobile bodies were used.
a significant advantage of the invention is also that the fluid lines required for the spraying device or the atomizer 60 can be passed through the carrier 44 in a simple manner without disturbing them or being contaminated in the cabin.
FIG. 5 The embodiment of the device according to the invention shown in FIG. 5 is identical to that shown in FIG. 2, with the exception that the carrier 44, which is designated by the reference number 44/2 in FIG. 5, is only that shown on the left Set of a first disc 4 and a second disc 32 is worn. As a result, the carrier 44/2 can be shorter.
the second set of a first disk 4 and a second disk 32 shown on the right in FIG. 2 is omitted in the embodiment according to FIG. 5.
a closed wall part 70 of the cabin is provided there. 5, the parts are provided with the same reference numerals, which are also present in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. Since their function is the same, they are not described again here. Nevertheless, it is possible to install any number of devices for stabilizing the carrier 44 outside the cabin parallel to FIG. 5.
a not-shown another possibility of the invention is not to arrange the apparatus shown in Fig. 5 in a side wall of a cabin, but in the ceiling of a cabin, so by 90 o to rotate clockwise. In this case, however, no air can be sucked through the cabin roof into the cabin interior in the area of the device.
