Description

本発明は、塗料を霧化して被塗装物に塗装するためのスプレーガン、及びそれを用いた塗装システムに関する。   The present invention relates to a spray gun for atomizing paint and applying it to an object to be coated, and a coating system using the same.

自動車車体、家電製品、家具等の工業製品、建物の内壁、外壁、橋梁といった建造物などの被塗装物に塗料を付着させる塗装には、吐出塗料を霧化して噴射する構成のスプレーガンが広く用いられている。また、このスプレーガンとしては、互いに色が異なる複数の塗料を霧化し多色同時に塗装可能な構成のもの(以下、多色塗装用スプレーガンとも言う)も提供されている(例えば特許文献1−3)。多色塗装用スプレーガンを用いた多色同時塗装は、2色以上の塗料を完全には混色させずに被塗装物に付着させて、通常の目視にて視認可能な大小粒子が異なる色彩で混在する色模様(多色混在模様)を形成できる。多色塗装用スプレーガンを用いた多色同時塗装によって形成する多色混在模様としては、例えば大理石模様、御影石模様といった石調模様であるが、この他、皮革目調、木目調、毛皮調、布調、和紙調等の様々な色模様を挙げることができる。   A wide range of spray guns that atomize and spray sprayed paint are used to apply paint to objects such as automobile bodies, household appliances, furniture, and other industrial products, buildings such as buildings, exterior walls, and bridges. It is used. As this spray gun, there is also provided a spray gun that can atomize a plurality of paints having different colors (hereinafter also referred to as a spray gun for multi-color coating). 3). Multi-color simultaneous painting using a spray gun for multi-color painting allows two or more paints to adhere to the object to be painted without completely mixing them, and the large and small particles that can be visually recognized with different colors Mixed color patterns (multicolor mixed patterns) can be formed. Multi-color mixed patterns formed by multi-color simultaneous painting using a spray gun for multi-color painting are, for example, stone-like patterns such as marble patterns and granite patterns, but in addition, leather tone, wood tone, fur tone, Various color patterns such as fabric tone and Japanese paper tone can be listed.

上述のスプレーガンは、塗料供給装置からホース等を介して供給された塗料を、圧縮空気源から供給された霧化用エア(圧縮空気)によって霧化して噴射するものである。このスプレーガンは、先端部に塗料吐出孔が開口されたノズルと、このノズルの前記先端部に装着したテーパ筒状の蓋とを有する概略構成となっているものが一般的である。スプレーガンに供給された塗料は、ガンに設けられた塗料流路を通ってノズルに導かれ、ノズル先端の前記塗料吐出孔から吐出される。そして、このスプレーガンは、ノズル先端の塗料吐出孔からの吐出塗料を、蓋内側にてノズル先端周囲に確保された空間に前記霧化用エア供給ホースから供給される霧化用エアによって霧化し、前記蓋の先端に開口する噴射口から噴射する。
また、スプレーガンとしては、パターンエアの供給によって塗装パターンを形成可能としたもの(パターンエア系のスプレーガン)も種々提供されている。
The spray gun described above atomizes and sprays paint supplied from a paint supply device via a hose or the like with atomizing air (compressed air) supplied from a compressed air source. The spray gun generally has a general configuration including a nozzle having a paint discharge hole opened at the tip and a tapered cylindrical lid attached to the tip of the nozzle. The paint supplied to the spray gun is guided to the nozzle through the paint flow path provided in the gun, and is discharged from the paint discharge hole at the tip of the nozzle. The spray gun atomizes the paint discharged from the paint discharge hole at the tip of the nozzle by the atomizing air supplied from the atomizing air supply hose in a space secured around the nozzle tip inside the lid. Injecting from the injection opening opened to the front-end | tip of the said lid | cover.
Various spray guns (pattern air spray guns) that can form a paint pattern by supplying pattern air are also provided.

また、塗料流路を1本だけ有する単色塗装用のスプレーガンは、トリガーに連動したニードル式の塗料流路開閉機構を有する構成が広く普及している。この単色塗装用のスプレーガンの塗料流路開閉機構は、ノズル後側に設けられたニードル移動機構を有し、塗料流路の途中にテーパ孔状に形成した弁座に対して、トリガーに連動する前記ニードル移動機構によって塗料流路内をノズル先端に向かって進退動されるニードルを接離させて塗料流路を開閉するものである。この塗料流路開閉機構は、構成が複雑であり、複数の部品を、塗料流路が形成されたガン本体に組み付けて組み立てられるため、組み立てに手間が掛かる。
一方、複数の塗料流路がある多色塗装用スプレーガンは、その機構が複雑になることを避けるべく、スプレーガンへの塗料の供給制御用の弁をスプレーガンの系外に設けて使用することが一般的である。
Further, a spray gun for monochromatic coating having only one paint channel has a widespread configuration having a needle-type paint channel opening / closing mechanism interlocked with a trigger. The paint channel opening / closing mechanism of the spray gun for monochrome paint has a needle movement mechanism provided on the rear side of the nozzle, and interlocks with the trigger for the valve seat formed in the taper hole shape in the middle of the paint channel The needle moving mechanism opens and closes the paint flow path by moving the needle moved forward and backward in the paint flow path toward the nozzle tip. This paint channel opening / closing mechanism has a complicated configuration, and a plurality of parts are assembled and assembled to the gun body in which the paint channel is formed.
On the other hand, a spray gun for multi-color coating with a plurality of paint flow paths is used with a valve for controlling the supply of paint to the spray gun provided outside the spray gun system in order to avoid the complexity of the mechanism. It is common.

上述のように、スプレーガンの系外に配置した弁によって塗料の供給を制御する構成では、弁から塗料吐出孔までの距離が長いため、塗料の供給を停止しても、塗料吐出孔からの塗料の吐出が直ちに停止しないことがある。このため、従来は、塗料の供給停止後に塗料吐出孔から吐出される塗料によってガン先が汚れることを、圧縮エア(霧化用エア及び/又はパターンエア)の供給制御及び弁による塗料の供給制御の調整によって解決してきた。
しかしながら、この対策は、塗料の流量や物性(粘度等)に応じて、圧縮エアの供給制御及び弁による塗料の供給制御を調整する必要があり、調整に手間が掛かることがあった。特に、多色塗装用スプレーガンを用いた多色塗装の場合は、各色の塗料の流量や物性(粘度等)のばらつきを考慮して、圧縮エアの供給制御及び弁による塗料の供給制御を調整することになり、調整が容易でなかった。
As described above, in the configuration in which the supply of the paint is controlled by a valve arranged outside the spray gun system, the distance from the valve to the paint discharge hole is long. The paint discharge may not stop immediately. For this reason, conventionally, the supply control of compressed air (air for atomization and / or pattern air) and the supply control of paint by a valve indicate that the tip of the gun is soiled by the paint discharged from the paint discharge hole after the supply of paint is stopped. It has been solved by adjusting.
However, this measure needs to adjust the supply control of compressed air and the supply control of the paint by the valve according to the flow rate and physical properties (viscosity, etc.) of the paint, and the adjustment may take time. In particular, in the case of multicolor painting using a spray gun for multicolor painting, the supply control of compressed air and the control of paint supply by valves are adjusted in consideration of variations in the flow rate and physical properties (viscosity, etc.) of each color paint. Therefore, adjustment was not easy.

本発明は、上述の事情に鑑みて、塗料の供給停止後に塗料吐出孔から吐出される塗料によるガン先の汚れ防止を簡単に実現できるスプレーガン、及び該スプレーガンを用いた塗装システムの提供を目的としている。   In view of the circumstances described above, the present invention provides a spray gun that can easily prevent contamination of a gun tip with paint discharged from a paint discharge hole after the supply of paint is stopped, and a coating system using the spray gun. It is aimed.

次に、スプレーガン10の開閉弁40について説明する。
図1、図5において、前記開閉弁40は具体的には二方弁である。図6は、この開閉弁40の具体例を示す。
図6に例示する開閉弁40はエア駆動式の二方弁である。この開閉弁40は、連通流路41が貫通する弁箱42と、前記連通流路41の途中に設けられた弁座43に接離する弁体44及び該弁体44が先端に取り付けられた弁棒45と、この弁棒45を移動して弁体44を弁座43に接離させる開閉駆動部46とを有している。開閉駆動部46は、前記弁棒45の先端側とは反対の基端側が挿入されたケース46a内に、弁体44を弁座43に向かって押圧するための弾性付勢力を弁棒45に与える閉弁用スプリング47、及びエア駆動式開弁機構48を収納した構成になっている。エア駆動式開弁機構48は、弁体44が弁座43に圧接状態にあるときに、圧縮ポンプ等の圧縮空気源からのエア圧(圧縮空気)の供給によって、弁棒45を、前記閉弁用スプリング47の弾性付勢力に抗して弁座43から離隔させる方向(開弁方向)に移動して開弁する。
Next, the opening / closing valve 40 of the spray gun 10 will be described.

The on-off valve 40 has a valve box 42 through which the communication channel 41 passes, a valve body 44 that contacts and separates from a valve seat 43 provided in the middle of the communication channel 41, and the valve body 44 attached to the tip. It has a valve stem 45 and an opening / closing drive unit 46 that moves the valve stem 45 to bring the valve body 44 into and out of contact with the valve seat 43. The opening / closing drive unit 46 applies an elastic urging force to the valve stem 45 to press the valve body 44 toward the valve seat 43 in the case 46a in which the base end side opposite to the distal end side of the valve stem 45 is inserted. The valve closing spring 47 and the air-driven valve opening mechanism 48 are housed.

図示例のスプレーガン10において、開閉駆動部46のケース46aの外側には、ガン胴体24に当接されるフランジ部46bが突設されている。前記ねじ49は、開閉駆動部46のケース46aの前記フランジ部46bに貫通させた軸部49aをガン胴体24に形成された雌ねじ孔にねじ込み、前記軸部49aの片端に該軸部49aに比べて太く形成された頭部49bによって前記フランジ部46bをガン胴体24に押さえ込んで、開閉駆動部46をガン胴体24に固定している。
前記ねじ49はその頭部49bに回転操作用の工具を係合させて回転操作することで、ガン胴体24に対して着脱できる。開閉弁40は、ねじ46bをガン胴体24に対するねじ込み時とは逆向きに回転操作してガン胴体24から抜き出すことで、ガン本体20から簡単に離脱させることができる。このため、このスプレーガン10は、開閉弁40のメンテナンスや交換を簡単に行える。
The opening / closing valve 40 in the illustrated example is a unit having a configuration in which a valve box 42 is fixed to an opening / closing drive unit 46. The opening / closing valve 40 is attached to the gun body 20 by screwing the opening / closing drive unit 46 to the gun body 24 using screws 49.
In the illustrated spray gun 10, a flange portion 46 b that abuts against the gun body 24 projects from the outside of the case 46 a of the opening / closing drive portion 46. The screw 49 is screwed into a female screw hole formed in the gun body 24 with a shaft portion 49a penetrating the flange portion 46b of the case 46a of the opening / closing drive portion 46, and compared with the shaft portion 49a at one end of the shaft portion 49a. The flange portion 46b is pressed against the gun body 24 by a thick head 49b, and the opening / closing drive portion 46 is fixed to the gun body 24.
The screw 49 can be attached to and detached from the gun body 24 by rotating the screw 49 with a tool for rotating operation engaged with the head 49b. The on-off valve 40 can be easily detached from the gun body 20 by rotating the screw 46b in a direction opposite to that when screwed into the gun body 24 and extracting it from the gun body 24. For this reason, the spray gun 10 can easily perform maintenance and replacement of the on-off valve 40.

なお、開閉弁をガン本体にねじ止め等によって取り外し可能に固定する構成は、本発明に係る実施形態のスプレーガンに広く適用可能である。   Note that the structure in which the on-off valve is detachably fixed to the gun body by screwing or the like is widely applicable to the spray gun according to the embodiment of the present invention.

既述のように、ガン本体20に複数形成された塗料流路21のガン胴体24に位置する部分は、開口凹部11の中心軸線の仮想延長の周囲に分散配置されており、個々の塗料流路21に設けられた開閉弁40は、開口凹部11の中心軸線の仮想延長の周囲の複数箇所に分散配置されている。

To send. As shown in FIG. 1, the hoses 56 a to 56 d are connected to the paint inlet 21 c of the paint channel 21.

図7に示すように、エア供給制御装置54は、圧縮空気源53から供給された圧縮空気が流入する複数の内部流路R1〜R8と、各内部流路R1〜R8に設けられた開閉弁B1〜B8(以下、エア制御用開閉弁とも言う)とを有している。各内部流路R1〜R8は、一端が配管51を介して圧縮空気源53と接続され、他端が可撓性のホース58a〜58d、59a〜59dを介してスプレーガン10の霧化用エア流路22、パターンエア流路23、エア駆動式開弁機構48にそれぞれ接続されている。   As shown in FIG. 7, the air supply control device 54 includes a plurality of internal flow paths R1 to R8 into which compressed air supplied from the compressed air source 53 flows, and open / close valves provided in the internal flow paths R1 to R8. B1 to B8 (hereinafter also referred to as air control on-off valves). Each of the internal flow paths R1 to R8 has one end connected to the compressed air source 53 via the pipe 51 and the other end connected to the compressed air source 53 via the flexible hoses 58a to 58d and 59a to 59d. The flow path 22, the pattern air flow path 23, and the air drive type valve opening mechanism 48 are connected to each other.

スプレーガン10のガン本体20には、エア供給制御装置54からホース59(59a〜59d)を介して供給される圧縮空気を開閉弁40のエア駆動式開弁機構48に導くためのエア流路29(図7参照)が個々の開閉弁40に対応して形成されている。各エア流路29は、ガン胴体24に形成された孔であり、ガン胴体の後端面24b(ガン本体20の後端面)に開口するエア入口29a(図2参照)から導入された圧縮空気を開閉弁40のエア駆動式開弁機構48に導く。図1、図7に示すように、エア供給制御装置54から開閉弁40のエア駆動式開弁機構48へ圧縮空気を供給するためのホース59(59a〜59d)は、エア供給制御装置54とは反対側の端部がエア流路29のエア入口29aに接続されている。開閉弁40のエア駆動式開弁機構48には、、ホース59(59a〜59d)、及びエア流路29を介してエア供給制御装置54から圧縮空気を供給できる。   An air flow path for guiding the compressed air supplied from the air supply control device 54 via the hose 59 (59a to 59d) to the air-driven valve opening mechanism 48 of the on-off valve 40 in the gun body 20 of the spray gun 10. 29 (see FIG. 7) is formed corresponding to each on-off valve 40. Each air flow path 29 is a hole formed in the gun body 24, and compressed air introduced from an air inlet 29 a (see FIG. 2) opened to the rear end surface 24 b (the rear end surface of the gun body 20) of the gun body. The air-driven valve opening mechanism 48 of the on-off valve 40 is guided. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, hoses 59 (59 a to 59 d) for supplying compressed air from the air supply control device 54 to the air-driven valve opening mechanism 48 of the on-off valve 40 include the air supply control device 54 and the air supply control device 54. The opposite end is connected to the air inlet 29 a of the air flow path 29. Compressed air can be supplied from the air supply control device 54 to the air-driven valve opening mechanism 48 of the on-off valve 40 via the hose 59 (59a to 59d) and the air flow path 29.

図7に例示した塗装システム50は、図1〜図5に例示したスプレーガン10の2本の霧化用エア流路22と、2本のパターンエア流路23と、4つの開閉弁40とに対応して、8本の内部流路R1〜R8を有するエア供給制御装置54を採用している。
スプレーガン10の2本の霧化用エア流路22は、ホース58a、58bを介して、エア供給制御装置54の内部流路R1、R2と接続され、スプレーガン10の2本のパターンエア流路23は、ホース58c、58dを介して、エア供給制御装置54の内部流路R3、R4と接続されている。スプレーガン10の複数の開閉駆動部46のエア駆動式開弁機構48は、ホース59(59a〜59d)を介してエア供給制御装置54の内部流路R5〜R8と接続されている。
The coating system 50 illustrated in FIG. 7 includes two atomizing air passages 22, two pattern air passages 23, and four on-off valves 40 of the spray gun 10 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5. In response to this, an air supply control device 54 having eight internal flow paths R1 to R8 is employed.
The two atomizing air flow paths 22 of the spray gun 10 are connected to the internal flow paths R1 and R2 of the air supply control device 54 via the hoses 58a and 58b. The path 23 is connected to the internal flow paths R3 and R4 of the air supply control device 54 via hoses 58c and 58d. The air-driven valve opening mechanisms 48 of the plurality of opening / closing drive units 46 of the spray gun 10 are connected to the internal flow paths R5 to R8 of the air supply control device 54 via hoses 59 (59a to 59d).

圧縮空気源53から供給される圧縮空気は、配管51から、エア供給制御装置54に設けられた分岐器54wを介して各内部流路R1〜R8に供給される。スプレーガン10の霧化用エア流路22、パターンエア流路23、エア駆動式開弁機構48に接続されたホース58a〜58d、59a〜59dは、エア供給制御装置54に複数の内部流路R1〜R8の個々に対応して設けられた接続ポート54a〜54hにて各内部流路R1〜R8と接続されている。   Compressed air supplied from the compressed air source 53 is supplied from the pipe 51 to the internal flow paths R1 to R8 via a branching device 54w provided in the air supply control device 54. The hose 58a to 58d and 59a to 59d connected to the atomizing air flow path 22, the pattern air flow path 23, and the air drive type valve opening mechanism 48 of the spray gun 10 are connected to the air supply control device 54 by a plurality of internal flow paths. The connection ports 54a to 54h provided corresponding to the individual R1 to R8 are connected to the internal flow paths R1 to R8.

また、エア供給制御装置54の内部流路R1〜R8のうち、エア駆動式開弁機構48への圧縮空気供給用のホース59a〜59dと接続された内部流路R5〜R8には、開閉弁B5〜B8から圧縮供給方向下流側に、該内部流路R5〜R8から分岐した排気流路vを開閉して、排気流路vの大気開放と閉止とを切り換える圧縮空気放出用開閉弁Dが設けられている。排気流路vは圧縮空気放出用開閉弁Dの開弁によって大気開放される。
エア供給制御装置54において圧縮空気放出用開閉弁Dは、エア制御用開閉弁B5〜B8の閉弁に連動して開弁され、エア制御用開閉弁B5〜B8の開弁に連動して閉弁される。図示例の塗装システム50は、エア供給制御装置54のエア制御用開閉弁B5〜B8の閉弁に連動して圧縮空気放出用開閉弁Dが開弁されることで、開閉弁B5〜B8からエア駆動式開弁機構48へホース59a〜59dを介して圧縮空気を供給する流路(圧縮空気供給流路)を大気開放する。スプレーガン10の開閉弁40は、圧縮空気供給流路が大気開放されると、エア駆動式開弁機構48へのエア圧の供給が無い状態になる結果、閉弁する。
Among the internal flow paths R1 to R8 of the air supply control device 54, the internal flow paths R5 to R8 connected to the compressed air supply hoses 59a to 59d to the air-driven valve opening mechanism 48 include open / close valves. On the downstream side in the compression supply direction from B5 to B8, there is provided a compressed air discharge on-off valve D that opens and closes the exhaust flow path v branched from the internal flow paths R5 to R8 and switches the exhaust flow path v between open and closed. Is provided. The exhaust passage v is opened to the atmosphere by opening the on-off valve D for releasing compressed air.
In the air supply control device 54, the on-off valve D for releasing compressed air is opened in conjunction with closing of the on-off valves B5 to B8 for air control, and closed in conjunction with opening of the on-off valves B5 to B8 for air control. To be spoken. The coating system 50 of the illustrated example opens the on-off valves B5 to B8 by opening the on-off valves D5 for compressed air release in conjunction with the closing of the on-off valves B5 to B8 for air control of the air supply control device 54. A flow path (compressed air supply flow path) for supplying compressed air to the air-driven valve opening mechanism 48 via the hoses 59a to 59d is opened to the atmosphere. The on-off valve 40 of the spray gun 10 closes as a result of no air pressure being supplied to the air-driven valve opening mechanism 48 when the compressed air supply passage is opened to the atmosphere.

なお、図7では、エア駆動式開弁機構48への圧縮空気供給用の複数(図示例では4本)の内部流路R5〜R8のうち、符号R5〜R7の内部流路の排気流路vに設けられた圧縮空気放出用開閉弁Dの図示を省略している。圧縮空気放出用開閉弁Dは、エア駆動式開弁機構48への圧縮空気供給用の複数の内部流路R5〜R8のそれぞれに設けられている。   In FIG. 7, among the plural (four in the illustrated example) internal flow paths R5 to R8 for supplying compressed air to the air-driven valve opening mechanism 48, the exhaust flow paths of the internal flow paths denoted by R5 to R7. Illustration of the on-off valve D for releasing compressed air provided at v is omitted. The compressed air discharge opening / closing valve D is provided in each of the plurality of internal flow paths R <b> 5 to R <b> 8 for supplying compressed air to the air-driven valve opening mechanism 48.

エア供給制御装置54は、エア制御用開閉弁B1〜B8の開閉制御によって、スプレーガン10の霧化用エア流路22、パターンエア流路23、エア駆動式開弁機構48への圧縮空気の供給、供給停止を切り換える(圧縮空気の供給制御を行う)ことができる。
なお、これらエア制御用開閉弁B1〜B8は、その開閉動作を個々に独立して制御できる。但し、エア供給制御装置54は、複数のエア制御用開閉弁B1〜B8のうちの複数の開閉を互いに同時に行える構成となっていても良い。
また、霧化用エア流路22への圧縮空気の供給制御のエア制御用開閉弁B1、B2、及びパターンエア流路23への圧縮空気の供給制御用のエア制御用開閉弁B3、B4は、開弁時の圧縮空気の流量設定を適宜変更可能なものを採用することが好ましい。
図示例のエア供給制御装置54において、エア駆動式開弁機構48への圧縮空気の供給制御用のエア制御用開閉弁B5〜B8としては、その開閉によって圧縮空気の供給のオンオフ(供給、供給停止)切り換えを迅速に行える構成のものを好適に採用できる。このエア制御用開閉弁B5〜B8としては、圧縮空気の供給のオンオフ(供給、供給停止)切り換えを行えるものであれば足り、開弁時の圧縮空気の流量設定の変更機能を有していないものも採用可能である。
The air supply control device 54 controls the opening and closing of the air control on-off valves B1 to B8 to supply the compressed air to the atomizing air passage 22, the pattern air passage 23, and the air-driven valve opening mechanism 48 of the spray gun 10. Supply and supply stop can be switched (compressed air supply control is performed).
Note that these air control on-off valves B1 to B8 can individually control their opening and closing operations. However, the air supply control device 54 may be configured to be able to simultaneously open and close a plurality of the air control on-off valves B1 to B8.
Further, the air control on-off valves B1 and B2 for controlling the supply of compressed air to the atomizing air flow path 22 and the air control on-off valves B3 and B4 for controlling the supply of compressed air to the pattern air flow path 23 are It is preferable to employ one that can appropriately change the flow rate setting of the compressed air when the valve is opened.
In the air supply control device 54 of the illustrated example, the air control on-off valves B5 to B8 for controlling the supply of compressed air to the air-driven valve opening mechanism 48 are turned on and off (supply and supply) by opening and closing them. It is possible to suitably employ a configuration that can quickly perform (stop) switching. The air control on-off valves B5 to B8 need only be capable of switching on / off (supply and supply stop) the supply of compressed air, and do not have a function of changing the flow rate of compressed air when the valve is opened. Can also be adopted.

スプレーガン10の各開閉弁40の開閉駆動部46のエア駆動式開弁機構48は、エア制御用開閉弁B5〜B8が開弁され、ホース59(59a〜59d)を介してエア供給制御装置54から圧縮空気が供給されることで、開閉弁40を開弁する。
エア供給制御装置54は、スプレーガンの前記空気流路に圧縮空気を供給する霧化用圧縮空気供給装置、及び前記スプレーガンの開閉弁の動作を制御して前記塗料流路の開閉を切り換える開閉制御装置を兼ねる。
In the air drive type valve opening mechanism 48 of the opening / closing drive part 46 of each on-off valve 40 of the spray gun 10, the air control on-off valves B5 to B8 are opened, and the air supply control device is provided via the hose 59 (59a to 59d). When the compressed air is supplied from 54, the on-off valve 40 is opened.
The air supply control device 54 controls the operation of the atomizing compressed air supply device that supplies compressed air to the air flow path of the spray gun, and the opening and closing valves of the spray gun to switch the opening and closing of the paint flow path. Also serves as a control device.

ガン支持装置55はスプレーガン10を固定するガン取付部材55aを有している。ガン取付部材55aの形状には特には限定は無い。
図1に示すように、図示例のスプレーガン10は、ガン本体20の後端部外周に突設されている固定用突部26を前記ガン取付部材55aに固定して、ガン支持装置55に取り付けることができる。図示例の固定用突部26には、棒状に形成されたガン取付部材55aを挿入可能な取付部材挿入孔26aが形成されている。また、この固定用突部26の外面には、前記取付部材挿入孔26aの内周面から延在形成されたねじ孔26bが開口されている。スプレーガン10は、前記取付部材挿入孔26aに挿入されたガン取付部材55aを、前記ねじ孔26bにねじ込んだ固定ねじ26cによって固定することで、ガン支持装置55に取り付けることができる。
また、図1、図2に示すように、前記スプレーガン10は、ガン本体20のガン胴体24にその後端面24a(具体的には、ガン胴体本体241のノズル25とは反対側の端面)の中央部から窪んで形成された穴部27をガン取付部材55aへの固定に利用することも可能である。
The gun support device 55 has a gun attachment member 55 a for fixing the spray gun 10. The shape of the gun mounting member 55a is not particularly limited.
As shown in FIG. 1, the spray gun 10 in the illustrated example has a fixing protrusion 26 protruding from the outer periphery of the rear end portion of the gun body 20 fixed to the gun mounting member 55a. Can be attached. The fixing projection 26 in the illustrated example is formed with an attachment member insertion hole 26a into which a gun attachment member 55a formed in a rod shape can be inserted. Further, a screw hole 26b is formed on the outer surface of the fixing projection 26 so as to extend from the inner peripheral surface of the mounting member insertion hole 26a. The spray gun 10 can be attached to the gun support device 55 by fixing the gun attachment member 55a inserted into the attachment member insertion hole 26a with a fixing screw 26c screwed into the screw hole 26b.
1 and 2, the spray gun 10 has a rear end surface 24a (specifically, an end surface opposite to the nozzle 25 of the gun body main body 241) on the gun body 24 of the gun main body 20. It is also possible to use the hole 27 formed in a recessed manner from the center for fixing to the gun attachment member 55a.

ガン支持装置55は、例えば多軸ロボットアームの先端に前記ガン取付部材55aを有する多軸支持装置であるが、これに限定されない。ガン支持装置55としては、前記ガン取付部材55aを有するものであれば特に限定は無く、例えばガン取付部材55aに固定されたスプレーガン10を定位置で所的向きに支持するもの等であっても良い。   The gun support device 55 is, for example, a multi-axis support device having the gun mounting member 55a at the tip of a multi-axis robot arm, but is not limited thereto. The gun support device 55 is not particularly limited as long as it has the gun mounting member 55a. For example, the gun support device 55 supports the spray gun 10 fixed to the gun mounting member 55a in a fixed position at a fixed position. Also good.

前記スプレーガン10は、ノズル25への塗料の供給を制御する開閉弁40をガン本体20に設けた構成であるため、塗料の供給を制御する弁をスプレーガンの系外に設ける場合に比べて、塗料の供給を制御する弁(開閉弁40)から塗料吐出孔21bまでの距離を格段に短くすることができる。このため、このスプレーガン10は、塗料の供給停止(開閉弁40による塗料流路21の閉止)後に塗料吐出孔21bから吐出される塗料によるガン先の汚れ防止を簡単かつ確実に実現できる。
このスプレーガン10を用いて構成した塗装システム50は、圧縮エア(霧化用エア及び/又はパターンエア)の供給制御及び弁による塗料の供給制御の調整を行うことなく、塗料の供給停止後のガン先の汚れ防止を実現できる。また、この塗装システム50は、塗料の供給を制御する弁(開閉弁40)から塗料吐出孔21bまでの距離を格段に短くできることで、開閉弁40によって塗料流路21を閉止することで、塗料の流量や物性(粘度等)に影響を受けることなく、塗料吐出孔21bからの塗料の吐出停止を短時間で実現できる。
The spray gun 10 has a structure in which the on-off valve 40 for controlling the supply of paint to the nozzle 25 is provided in the gun body 20, so that the valve for controlling the supply of paint is provided outside the spray gun system. The distance from the valve for controlling the supply of paint (open / close valve 40) to the paint discharge hole 21b can be remarkably shortened. For this reason, the spray gun 10 can easily and reliably realize prevention of contamination of the gun tip by the paint discharged from the paint discharge hole 21b after the supply of paint is stopped (the paint flow path 21 is closed by the on-off valve 40).
The coating system 50 configured by using the spray gun 10 does not adjust the supply control of the compressed air (atomization air and / or pattern air) and the control of the supply of the paint by the valve. Prevents contamination of the gun tip. In addition, the coating system 50 can significantly reduce the distance from the valve (open / close valve 40) for controlling the supply of the paint to the paint discharge hole 21b, so that the paint passage 21 is closed by the open / close valve 40. Without being affected by the flow rate and physical properties (viscosity, etc.) of the coating material, it is possible to stop the discharge of the paint from the paint discharge hole 21b in a short time.

また、各開閉弁40の開閉(図7に例示した塗装システム50にあっては、エア供給制御装置54のエア制御用開閉弁B5〜B8の開閉)は互いに同時に行うことが可能であり、開閉弁40の開閉制御は単純化できる。   In addition, the opening / closing of each opening / closing valve 40 (in the painting system 50 illustrated in FIG. 7, the opening / closing of the air control opening / closing valves B5 to B8 of the air supply control device 54) can be performed simultaneously. The opening / closing control of the valve 40 can be simplified.

本発明に係るスプレーガンは、例えば図8に示すように開閉弁40を塗料流路21の流路長手方向後端部(塗料入口21c側)に介在配置した構成、及び図9に示すようにガン本体20に組み付けて該ガン本体20の後側に配置した開閉弁40を介してホース56から塗料がガン本体20の塗料流路21に導入されるようにした構成も採用可能である。
但し、このスプレーガン10及び塗装システム50は、塗料の供給を制御する弁(開閉弁40)から塗料吐出孔21bまでの距離を出来るだけ短くすることが、開閉弁40による塗料流路21の閉止後の塗料吐出孔21bからの塗料吐出を確実に防止する点で有利である。この点、図1に例示したスプレーガン10は、開閉弁40を前記塗料流路21の流路長手方向中央部に介在配置した構成であり、図8、図9に例示したスプレーガンに比べて、塗料の供給を制御する弁(開閉弁40)から塗料吐出孔21bまでの距離を短くできる分、開閉弁40による塗料流路21の閉止後の塗料吐出孔21bからの塗料吐出防止に有利である。
また、ガン本体20において、開閉弁40は、塗料流路21の流路長手方向中央部から前側(塗料吐出孔21b側)にずれた位置に介在しても良い。
In the spray gun according to the present invention, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the on-off valve 40 is disposed at the rear end in the longitudinal direction of the paint passage 21 (on the paint inlet 21c side), and as shown in FIG. A configuration in which the paint is introduced from the hose 56 into the paint flow path 21 of the gun body 20 via the on-off valve 40 that is assembled to the gun body 20 and arranged on the rear side of the gun body 20 can also be adopted.
However, in the spray gun 10 and the coating system 50, the distance from the valve (open / close valve 40) for controlling the supply of paint to the paint discharge hole 21 b is shortened as much as possible to close the paint flow path 21 by the open / close valve 40. This is advantageous in that the paint discharge from the subsequent paint discharge hole 21b is reliably prevented. In this regard, the spray gun 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 has a configuration in which an on-off valve 40 is disposed at the center in the longitudinal direction of the paint flow channel 21, compared to the spray gun illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9.
