Definitions
- the present invention relates to a turbine and a fluid spraying device.
- the present invention also relates to a fluid spraying installation and a method of manufacturing such an installation.
- Fluid projection installations comprising a projection device mounted on a movable arm are used in many applications. These projection devices frequently include a rotary bowl driven in rotation by a turbine, an injector for injecting the fluid into the bottom of the bowl and a skirt for generating air jets for shaping the flow of projected fluid.
- the various elements are mounted at one end of the movable arm, for example by screwing.
- one end of the injector is received in a cavity in the arm, opposite the inlet conduits for the fluid to be sprayed.
- the turbine is attached to the arm around the injector opposite the turbine drive air inlet ducts.
- the skirt surrounds the turbine and is attached to the arm opposite conformation air supply ducts.
- the bowl is attached to the end of the turbine rotor, the bowl being surrounded by the skirt.
- the different parts that make up the fluid projection device have complex geometries, and are therefore difficult to position in relation to each other.
- the relative positioning of the skirt and the bowl is difficult to control since the bowl is mounted at one end of the injector while the skirt and injector are positioned relative to each other by their fixing, to the other end, on the arm. Small variations in positioning on the arm are therefore likely to cause a large variation in relative positioning of the bowl and the skirt.
- any deviation in positioning of these parts relative to each other is likely to result in an imperfect conformation of the projected fluid flow, in particular if the rotary bowl and the skirt are badly positioned.
- a fluid spraying device is frequently disassembled and reassembled, whether to replace worn parts, to modify the characteristics of the device or because the conduits are blocked.

- the positioning accuracy of the skirt 35 and the injector 40 relative to the bowl 30 is improved, in particular compared to known devices where the skirt 35 and the injector 40 are fixed to the part 15 and not to the body turbine 50.
- the number of parts involved in the positioning of the bowl 30 relative to the skirt 35 and the injector 40 is reduced, since only the turbine body 50 and the rotor 45 connect the bowl 30 to the skirt 35 and the injector 40.
- the improved positioning of the bowl 30 relative to the skirt 35 and to the injector 40 allows better control of the conformation of the projected fluid F, since the gas jets G to conform the fluid jet F are better positioned with respect to in bowl 30.
- the replacement of the projection device 20 is made faster since it is possible to pre-mount the rotor 45, the skirt 35 and the injector 40 on the turbine body 50, and to pre-mount the bowl 30 on the rotor 45, before fixing the device 20 thus obtained in a simple manner on the part 15, by the sole fixing of the turbine body 50 to the part 15.
- the presence of the first conduit 97 makes it possible to inject the first part P1 of the first flow G between the bowl 30 and the skirt 35, this air serving as compensation air to fill the depression under the bowl linked to the rotation of the bowl and to the injection of skirts.
- the flow of cold air circulating internally in the turbine does not come into contact with an interface between plastic elements and metal. Because the two materials have different coefficients of expansion, exposure to cold air could cause sealing problems. Also, notwithstanding the fact that the use of a metal turbine as a reference makes it possible to gain in precision, the conformation chosen for the turbine also makes it possible to improve the durability of the seal in the sprayer.
- the auxiliary passage makes it possible to inject the second part P2 into the bottom 151 of the bowl 30 and thus to fill a depression which could be caused there by the rotation of the bowl 30.
- the part 15 and in particular the fixing face 22 are simplified when the conduits 97 and 100 are formed in the turbine body 50, since it is the turbine body 50 which receives the first flow of gas G at the outlet of the rotor 45. It is therefore not necessary to conform the fixing face 22 to receive and evacuate the first gas flow G at the outlet of the rotor.
- the relative positioning of the injector 40 relative to the turbine body 50 is better controlled. This results in better control of the distribution of the first gas flow G, at the outlet of the rotor 45, between the first part P1 and the second part P2.
- the turbine body 25 is arranged so that in operation, the ratio between the flow rate of the first part P1 of the gas flow and the second part P2 of the gas flow is greater than or equal to 2, of preferably greater than or equal to 3 and preferably greater than or equal to 10.
- the ratio between the flow rate of the first part P1 of the gas flow and the second part P2 of the gas flow is greater than or equal to 2, of preferably greater than or equal to 3 and preferably greater than or equal to 10.
- the annular groove 130 allows a collection of the first gas flow G at the outlet of the rotor 45 with a very small axial size. The dimensions of the projection device 20 are therefore reduced.
- the radial grooves 135 make it possible to recover more and more exhaust air without recompressing it so as not to brake the turbine 25.
- the radial grooves 135 are diametrically opposite one another, the first parts P1 of the flows of gas G collected by the conduits 97 are equal.
- the gas flow G injected between the skirt 35 and the bowl 30 is then more spatially homogeneous.

- the shape and dimensions of each notch 245 are invariant by translation in a direction parallel to the common axis A along the notch 245.
- Each notch 245 has, for example, a circular arc section in a plane perpendicular to the common axis A.
- Each notch 245 has a depth of between 0.5 mm and 3 mm.
- Each notch 245 has a bottom 255.
- the bottom 255 is the set of points of the notch 245 arranged at a distance, measured between the point considered and the common axis A in a plane perpendicular to the common axis A, strictly greater than the distances from all other points.
- the bottom 255 is a line extending in a direction parallel to the common axis A.
- Each bottom point 255 of each notch 245 is disposed at a distance d1 from the common axis A, the distance d1 being less than or equal to half the minimum diameter of the internal face of the skirt 35.
- the tertiary portion 220 is cylindrical with an annular base.
- the tertiary portion 220 connects the primary portion 210 to the secondary portion 215.
- the secondary portion 220 is, in particular, interposed in a plane perpendicular to the common axis A between the second part 50B and a fourth part 50D.
- the tool 250 is configured to engage the internal face 200 of the secondary portion 215 to rotate the threaded tube 190 around the common axis A.
- the tool 250 is notably configured to transmit to the threaded tube 190 a force tending to rotate the tube 190 around the common axis A relative to the turbine body 50.
- the tool 250 is configured to engage the notch (s) 245 to transmit the rotational force to the threaded tube 190.
- the tool 250 comprises a head 260, visible in FIG. 7, and a handle.
- the head 260 comprises a body 265, a base 270 and a set of projections 275.
- the head 260 is, for example, in one piece.
- the head extends along a proper axis AP.
- the body 265 has an external face 280 delimiting the body 265 in a plane perpendicular to the proper axis AP.
- the external face 280 is cylindrical around the own axis AP.
- the external face 280 has a diameter between 30 mm and 60 mm.
- the base 270 is suitable for allowing the handle to be fixed to the head 260.
- the base 270 extends from the body 265 along the own axis AP and has an imprint 285 suitable for cooperating with the handle to allow fixing the handle to the head 260.
- Each projection 275 extends radially outward from the outer face 280 of the body 265.
- Each projection 275 is configured to be engaged in a notch 245 to drive the threaded tube 190 in rotation.
- the projections 275 are configured to be engaged simultaneously in the notches 245 by a translational movement of the tool 250 along the proper axis AP, the proper axis AP being coincident with the common axis A of the projection device 20.
- Each projection 275 has a thickness, measured in a plane perpendicular to the proper axis AP, from the external face 280, between 0.5 mm and 5 mm.
- the handle is intended to be fixed to the head and to drive the head 260 in rotation about the own axis AP.
- the handle is suitable for allowing an operator to control a tightening torque transmitted by the tool 250 to the tube 190.
- the handle is a torque wrench whose head is engaged in the cavity 285 to drive the head 270 in rotation about the proper axis AP.
- the skirt 35 is effectively pressed against the first end face 90 by the engagement of the two threads 195 and 240.
- the skirt 35 is therefore held in position relative to the turbine body 50 without a tool engaging the outside of the skirt 35.
- the projection device 20 therefore does not suppose that notches are formed on the external surface of the skirt 35.
- the threaded tube 190 is interposed at least in part between the skirt 35 and the bowl 30 and is therefore protected against the deposition of coating products.
- the threaded tube 190 therefore allows a more reproducible tightening of the skirt 35 against the turbine body 50, and a more precise positioning.
- the shoulder 225 makes it possible to effectively block in translation the threaded tube 190 along the common axis A while allowing rotation around this axis.
- a turbine body 50 in which the groove 197 for receiving the first portion 210 is delimited along the common axis A by two parts 50C and 50D distinct from the turbine body 50 makes it easy to fix the tube 190 to the turbine body by placing the first portion 210 in the groove 197 of the third part 50C then by fixing the fourth part 50D to the third part 50C.
- the first portion 210 prevents any particles generated by the friction of the shoulder 225 against the fourth part 50D from being carried away by the gas flows G present in the area between the bowl 30 and the skirt 35.
- the non-cylindrical configuration of the internal face 200 of the second portion 215 makes it easy to maneuver the tube 190, and in particular to rotate it around the common axis A relative to the turbine body 50, from the opening 152 of the skirt 35.
- the fixing and separation of the skirt 35 and the turbine body 50 are therefore simplified.
- the notches 245 make it possible to efficiently maneuver the threaded tube 190 in a simple manner. When they open onto the third end face 237, it is particularly easy to insert the tool 250 by a simple translation in the upstream direction D1.
- each notch 245 is disposed at a distance less than or equal to half the minimum diameter of the internal face 193 of the skirt 35, since the tool 250 is then inserted through the 'opening 152 of the skirt 35 for inserting the projections 275 into the notches 245.
- This configuration allows in particular a simple geometry of the tool 250, visible in FIG. 7.
- This tool 250 allows a very efficient force transmission since several projections 275 are inserted simultaneously into notches 245.
- the mounting of the skirt 35 on the turbine body 50 via the threaded tube 190 is capable of being implemented in embodiments where the injector 40 is not directly mounted on the body of turbine 50.
