Definitions
- the invention is concerned with powder coating booths which are intended in particular, but not exclusively, for continuous operation and which are also suitable, for example, for manual coating operation.
- a powder coating booth has at least one powder spraying device which is connected to at least one powder preparation and supply device.
- Powder coating booths of the customary type comprise, for example, a plurality of powder spraying devices which must be movable over the entire height of the booth and which can be provided in an adjacent arrangement on opposite wall areas of the booth.
- powder spraying devices There are also systems that have one or more powder spraying devices on only one wall side, both for manual coating and in automatic mode.
- a powder coating booth requires a large amount of space and, depending on the number of powder spraying devices in particular, has a considerable length of, for example, about 6 m.
- powder spray devices comprising several fingers are available nowadays which, using the tribology effect, can produce a very uniform and increased fog effect in the cabin interior and can achieve larger spray heights and widths.
- the invention aims to provide a powder coating booth of the generic type while overcoming the difficulties described above, which has a reduced space requirement, can be used universally for automatic operation and manual operation, and also a simplified cleaning of the interior of the cabin according to a preferred embodiment enables.
- a powder coating booth is provided with at least one powder spraying device, which is connected to at least one powder preparation and supply device, which is characterized in that the booth has a small base area and is columnar, and that in at least one wall the Cabin a closable slot for performing the automatic powder spraying direction is provided.
- Powder spray devices with several spray fingers which use the tribological effect during the powder spraying process, can preferably be used here. Even with a reduced number of powder spraying devices, a greater spray height and width as well as increased fog formation are obtained.
- the design of the powder coating booth according to the invention has a significantly reduced space requirement, in particular on the floor area, since it is relatively short in the longitudinal direction. As a result, the space available for such a powder coating booth can be considerably reduced and integration into a powder coating line is possible without difficulty.
- the powder spraying devices arranged vertically one above the other which are preferably arranged on opposite walls of the booth, can produce a sufficiently uniform and dense veil for the powder coating of the goods over a relatively short distance, without need larger height dimensions.
- a compact powder coating booth is obtained, which also has a smaller internal volume than previously conventional powder coating booths, so that the air conditions are more favorable and the facilities for this can be operated and procured more cheaply, since compared with a reduced supply power the powder coating booths known per se get by and substantial energy savings are achieved.
- the cross section of the booth can be circular or square.
- the cabin forms a structure similar to a standing cylinder, while in the case of a square cross-sectional shape, a tower-like configuration is obtained.
- the corners of a square cross section are at least in the interior of the Powder coating booth preferably rounded off or beveled.
- the slots arranged in the opposite wall areas of the powder coating booth can preferably be closed by means of at least one flap which is open to the outside, the flap directly delimiting the respective slot.
- Such a design enables the slots to be tightly closed in the event of cleaning, so that, according to a preferred embodiment, the cabin forms a closed container when the slots are closed, the inner walls of which can preferably be automatically cleaned by means of a cleaning device which can be moved in the vertical direction, for example. which prevents powder dust from escaping during cleaning in order to minimize the workload.
- a fixed slot could be provided, for example in an openable door, which can be closed in a suitable manner in order to carry out the cleaning work.
- the cleaning in particular the automatic cleaning, is thus considerably simplified and it can be carried out more efficiently, since there are no constructions of the cleaning devices which are similar to guiding slides Movable in the longitudinal direction is required, but it is preferably possible to use a cleaning device which, if necessary, only has to be moved in the vertical direction and thus is self-centering on the cabin walls.
- the conveying device can have an articulated arm or swivel arm construction, it being possible, for example, to provide a double articulated arm construction, an auxiliary conveyor or the like for the arrangement of a cleaning device.
- the cleaning device could even be connected directly to the conveyor.
- the cleaning device comprises a telescopic arrangement, by means of which the cleaning device can be moved in the vertical direction in the interior formed by the cabin.
- the cleaning device can be adapted to the cross-sectional shape and the height of the cabin.
- a cleaning device can be arranged in a fixed manner or used for cleaning. It can then, for example, perform a rotary movement about its longitudinal axis and / or preferably a slight oscillating movement about the longitudinal axis and / or in the lateral direction.
- the cleaning device can expediently have a basket-shaped support structure. In the case of such a cleaning device, it can be moved into the cabin from the side, for example, and the cleaning of the inside wall or the inside walls of the cabin can be carried out quickly and completely with a large area coverage by the cleaning device.
- the powder coating booth according to the invention also makes it possible in a simple manner that the cleaning device can be operated wet-working in order to ensure a more efficient and reliable cleaning, especially when changing the color of the cabin.
- Combined designs of the cleaning device, such as compressed air operation and wet operation, are of course also possible.
- the cleaning device sweeps over the inner walls of the closed container, and in particular sponge parts, nozzles or the like can be provided thereon.
- the floor area of the booth is funnel-shaped, and there is a powder outlet and, if appropriate, a closable opening for liquid discharge during wet cleaning.
- the powder stripped or blown off on the wall surfaces of the booth can be conveyed to the powder outlet, suctioned off and, if necessary, recovered during cleaning with the aid of the automatically operating cleaning device.
- the liquid can also be removed from the floor area of the cabin through the funnel-shaped configuration, so that the cleaning work can be carried out fully automatically with the powder being recovered.
- a lock is arranged on the inlet and outlet sides of the booth, which can be converted into a post-coating location or a pre-coating location.
- These lock (s) are of course designed so that they can be closed tightly when the interior of the cabin is cleaned. What is important in this preferred design form is the fact that these locks have a double function and can also be converted into a post-coating station or a pre-coating station, on which, depending on the configuration of the parts to be coated, a manual pre-coating or post-coating can optionally be accessed from the right or left can also be carried out when the system is running.
- the powder coating booth according to the invention can be universally adapted in a simple manner to the well-specific characteristics.
- the lock floor is preferably designed to be stationary.

- the adjacent flaps can all be opened towards the outside.
- opening the smaller flap is sufficient to expose the corresponding slot for the passage of the powder spraying device.
- the larger flap is then also opened and the cabin interior is accessible to the hand-operated powder spraying device (s).
- the hand-operated powder spraying device (s) to be used can be brought in the longitudinal direction offset from one another to act on the material. This prevents mutual hindrance when working the hand-operated spraying devices on the opposite surfaces.
- the powder spraying devices can be arranged directly opposite one another and can, for example, be synchronously movable in the vertical direction, for example. Here, a type of "pusher effect" can be caused due to the electrostatics. In certain applications, an arrangement of the spray device (s) on a wall surface of the cabin can be sufficient.
- the booth wall regions adjoining the locks can be folded outwards in such a way that an opening is formed which is so large that the cleaning device can be inserted and retracted laterally into the booth.
- the powder coating booth according to the invention can also be designed such that the cleaning device is retracted from above.
- the booth is preferably open at the top.
- a blower ring can be assigned to the open side of the cabin, or nozzles can be assigned, which can be fed by means of exhaust air, for example from the secondary filter. If necessary, blowing nozzles can also be provided in the area of the locks. This exposure to air can effectively prevent the powder / air mixture from escaping from the cabin in the most energy-saving manner possible. Blow nozzles can optionally also be provided in the area of the locks in the cabin height direction.
- the top of the cabin can preferably be closed by means of a cover, which is preferably formed in one piece and attached to the cleaning device.
- a cover which is preferably formed in one piece and attached to the cleaning device.
- part of the cabin wall forms a rear wall of the central powder processing and supply device, and there is a connection opening to the interior of the cabin, which can be closed by means of a flap that can be opened to the interior of the cabin.
- a connection opening to the interior of the cabin, which can be closed by means of a flap that can be opened to the interior of the cabin.
- the flaps provided in the cabin according to the invention are designed such that they have seals on their sealing edges, so that the interior of the cabin is reliably sealed and also pressure-tight when the flaps are closed, which is particularly useful for carrying out wet cleaning work with the help of the cleaning device according to the invention is advantageous.
- the powder coating booth is designed in such a way that it considerably reduces it Base area and that it also encloses a reduced internal volume compared to conventional coating booths. This means that the cabin has a reduced air volume and operation is significantly more energy efficient.
- a design of a powder coating booth also enables effective and automatic cleaning of the inner walls in a structurally simple manner by using a self-centering cleaning device which allows cleaning in an automated manner in a time-saving manner.
- cleaning devices which are adapted to the cross-sectional shape and the height of the powder coating booth with regard to the outline and which do not need to move vertically.
- these can be used fixed or rotating about their longitudinal axis, and / or such a cleaning device can also perform an oscillating movement about the longitudinal axis and / or in the lateral direction.
- the wall or wall areas opposite the spraying devices should preferably be non-conductive in order to prevent charging.
- the corresponding walls or wall areas could be produced from non-conductive material or in any case a non-conductive coating can be provided on the entire surface or only on partial areas. Therefore, the cabin can discharge itself, charging can be suppressed and safe operation can be ensured.
