Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、塗装ブース内に層流となる気流を発生させ、この層流の中で被塗装部品に対して塗装作業を行う塗装装置および塗装方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来のこの種の塗装装置としては、例えば特許文献1に記載されたものが知られている。
【0003】
【特許文献1】
特開平11−179255号公報
【0004】
この公報記載の発明は、塗装作業を行う塗装ブースの一方の側から外気を取り入れ、この取り入れた外気を塗装ブースを経由して塗装ブースの他方の側に排気する際に、塗装ブース内の空気の流れを均一な層流状態となるようにしている。これにより、塗装ブース内での汚染空気の拡散防止および滞留防止を図っている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記した従来の塗装装置においては、単に、層流状態の中で塗装作業を行っているので、塗装ブース内の全体の空気の流れとしては層流となっているものの、被塗装部品近傍ではブース内の層流の流れとは別に被塗装部品に向けて吹き付けた塗料の流れが存在する。そして、この被塗装部品に向けて吹き付けた塗料の粒子が被塗装部品の近傍で下方に落下し、この落下した塗料の粒子が跳ね上がって被塗装部品に付着し、塗装状態が悪化するという問題がある。
【0006】
そこで、この発明は、落下した塗料粒子の被塗装部品への跳ね返りを防止して、塗装状態の悪化を防止することを目的としている。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的を達成するために、この発明は、塗装ブース内の気流を層流状態とし、この層流状態の中で被塗装部品に対して塗装作業を行う際に、前記被塗装部品の近傍に、前記塗装ブース内の層流とは別に気体を吹き付ける気体吹付手段を設けた塗装装置であって、前記被塗装部品を部品受け台から前記層流状態の気流の流れ方向と交差する方向に離間した状態で支持する部品支持手段を設け、前記塗装作業位置に設けた塗装手段近傍の塗装ブース側壁に、装置外部より気体を取り入れる多孔部材を設け、前記気体吹付手段は、前記被塗装部品と前記部品受け台との間でかつ前記多孔部材から導入した気体に沿って、前記層流状態の気流の上流側から同下流側に向けて気体を吹き付ける構成としてある。
【0008】
【発明の効果】
この発明によれば、被塗装部品の近傍に、塗装ブース内の層流とは別に、被塗装部品と部品受け台との間に向けて気体を吹き付けるようにしたので、被塗装部品に向けて吹き付けた塗料の粒子が下方に落下しても、この落下した塗料粒子は、吹き付けた気体によって層流状態の気流の下流側に流され、被塗装部品への付着を防止でき、塗装状態の悪化を防止することができる。
また、気体吹付手段は、多孔部材から導入した気体に沿って、層流状態の気流の上流側から下流側に向けて気体を吹き付けているので、多孔部材から導入する気体の流れの乱れを防止することができる。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明の実施の形態を図面に基づき説明する。
【0010】
図1は、この発明の実施の一形態を示す塗装装置の内部構造の概略を示す側面図、図2は同平面図、図3は、その全体構成を示す斜視図、図4は、被塗装部品Wに対して塗装手段である塗装ロボットRにより塗装作業を行っている状態を示す斜視図である。
【0011】
図3に示すように、この塗装装置は、互いに隣接する2つの塗装ブース1,3を備えており、ここでは、塗装ブース1でのみ塗装を行っている状態を示している。各塗装ブース1,3に対して一方側(図3中で左側)に乾燥室5,7を設けるとともに、塗装ブース1,3を間に挟んで乾燥室5,7と反対側に、排気室9,11を設ける。乾燥室5,7には、図示していないが、塗装後の被塗装部品Wを収納して電気ヒータにより乾燥させる。
【0012】
乾燥室5,7相互間は、隔壁6により仕切り、排気室9,11相互間は、隔壁10により仕切ってある。図示した実施の形態は、排気室9,11の塗装ブース1,3側は、その全域が開放しているが、塗装ブース1,3内の被塗装部品Wの大きさや形状に応じて、塗装ブース1,3内に発生させる層流の状態をコントロールすためめに仕切壁2などを設けてもよい。
【0013】
乾燥室5,7の塗装ブース1,3と反対側の外壁の下部側には気体取入口5a,7aを設け、気体取入口5a,7aには、多数の小孔を備えた多孔部材としてのステンレス製メッシュ(メッシュ130〜200位で、好ましくは150)15,17を設ける。上記した気体取入口5a,7aに対向して乾燥室5,7の塗装ブース1,3側の外壁には、気体取入口5a,7aから取り入れた気体(通常は空気)を塗装ブース1,3に導入する開口部19,21を設けてある。また、この開口部19,21は、乾燥室5,7に対する被塗装部品Wの出し入れを行う際にも利用する。
【0014】
一方、排気室9,11の図1中で右側端部近傍には、塗装ブース1,3に対向する側のほぼ全面にわたり、フィルタ23,25を設け、気流によって流れてくる塗料粒子の捕捉を行う。さらにこの排気室9,11におけるフィルタ23.,25より下流側(図1中で右側)の上面には、排気用ファン27,29を設けてある。この排気用ファン27,29を備えた上面についても、フィルタ31,33を設ける。
【0015】
また、乾燥室5,7の上面の図1,図2中で左側の端部にも、排気用ファン35,37を設けている。この排気用ファン35,37は、前記した排気室9,11側の排気用ファン27,29より小型で排気流量が小さいものとする。
【0016】
このように、排気室9,11側の排気用ファン27,29を大型化することで、乾燥室5,7の気体取入口5a,7aから外気の導入が可能となり、この導入した外気は、開口部19,21から塗装ブース1,3に流入し、排気室9,11に達する。排気室9,11に達した気体は、排気用ファン27,29によって外部に排出される。乾燥室5,7側の排気用ファン35,37は、乾燥室5,7内熱を外部に排出する。
【0017】
塗装ブース1内には、前記した塗装ロボットRと、被塗装部品Wを支持する支持機構39と、被塗装部品Wと部品受け台41との間に気体を吹き付ける気体吹付手段としてのエアジェットノズル43とを、それぞれ配置してある。
【0018】
塗装ロボットRは、支持機構39より乾燥室5側に配置してあり、ロボットアーム先端のノズル45から塗料を噴出する。支持機構39は、基台47上に、回転支持アーム49が長手方向中心部を中心として回転可能に設けられ、この回転支持アーム49の両端部上に、前記した部品受け台41をそれぞれ設けてある。
【0019】
部品受け台41上には、ほぼH字形状の一対の部品支持手段としての部品支持脚53,55が立設してあり、この部品支持脚53,55上に被塗装部品Wをセットする。そして、回転支持アーム49が図4の状態にあるときに、図4中で奥側の被塗装部品Wに対して塗装作業を行う。
【0020】
塗装作業位置となる塗装ロボットRの塗装ブース1内の気流の上流側には、塗装ブース側壁から塗装ブース1の中央側に向けて突出する遮蔽板57を設けてある。この遮蔽板57は、先端が塗装ブース1内の気流の下流側に向けて屈曲し、塗装ロボットRを覆うような形状となっている。
【0021】
上記した遮蔽板57と排気室9との間の塗装ブース側部は、側方に突出する突出領域59を備え、この突出領域59の側壁59aには、多孔部材として前記したステンレス製メッシュ15,17と同様なステンレス製メッシュ61を設けてある。
【0022】
この遮蔽板57の気流上流側の塗装ブース側壁には、作業者が出入りする出入口部63を設けてある。この出入口部63には開閉ドア65を取り付けてあり、開閉ドア65には、前記したステンレス製メッシュ15,17と同様なステンレス製メッシュ67をその全面に設けてある。
【0023】
一方、塗装ブース3側の塗装ブース側壁は、塗装ブース1の側壁と同様に、前記したステンレス製メッシュ15,17と同様なステンレス製メッシュ69で構成してある。
【0024】
前記したエアジェットノズル43は、図2に示すように塗装ロボットRに対し、排気室9寄りでかつ突出領域59寄りの位置に配置してあり、図1に示すように上下方向に延びる支持ロッド71の上部に設けた支持アーム73に吊り下げて固定してある。このエアジェットノズル43は、上下方向高さが被塗装部品Wとほぼ同じ位置にあり、その先端の気体吹出口43aは、上部から下方に向けかつ被塗装部品Wと部品受け台41との間に向けて気体を吹き付けるよう設定してある。
【0025】
前記したエアジェットノズル43は、気体吹出口43aが、吹出口先端側に向けて通路断面積が順次小さく、かつ扁平状に形成してある。また、このエアジェットノズル43に気体を供給すべく接続してある配管75の途中には、この配管75を流れる気体中の油分などの異物を除去するフィルタ77を設けてある。
【0026】
次に、作用を説明する。
【0027】
排気室9,11側の排気用ファン27,29を作動させることで、装置外部の気体を気体取入口5a,7aから乾燥室5,7に導入し、さらに開口部19,21から塗装ブース1,3に流入させて、排気室9,11に導く。排気室9,11に達した気体は、排気用ファン27,29によって、塗料に含まれる揮発ガス成分とともに、塗装装置の外部に排出される。一方乾燥室5,7側の排気用ファン35,37の作動により、乾燥室5,7内の熱を外部に排出する。
【0028】
また、突出領域59におけるステンレス製メッシュ61、開閉ドア65におけるステンレス製メッシュ67および、これらと反対側の塗装ブース側壁のステンレス製メッシュ69からも、外気が塗装ブース1,3内にそれぞれ導入される。このように、塗装ブース1,3内への外気取入口に、ステンレス製メッシュ15,17,61,67,69を設けることで、塗装ブース1,3内での気体の流れが、均一な層流状態となるとともに、外部の塵埃の塗装ブース1,3内への浸入を防止できる。
【0029】
この状態で、回転支持アーム49上の一方の被塗装部品Wが、図4に示す奥側にあるときに、塗装ロボットRのノズル45から塗料を噴出させて、被塗装部品Wの表面全域に塗装作業を行う。これと同時に、エアジェットノズル43から、被塗装部品Wと部品受け台41との間に向けて、塗装ブース1,3内の層流とは別に気体を吹き付ける。
【0030】
上記したように、気流が層流状態となる中で塗装作業を行うことで、塗装ブース1,3内に浮遊する塵埃が滞留することなく下流に流され、またノズル45から噴出して被塗装部品Wに付着しなかった塗料粒子についても、層流状態の気流に沿って下流に流され、これにより被塗装部品Wへの塵埃の付着および飛散した塗料粒子の再付着を防止することができる。
【0031】
そして、エアジェットノズル43により、被塗装部品Wと部品受け台41との間に向け、かつ上部から下方に向けて気体を吹き付けることで、飛散した塗料粒子が下方に落下しても、この落下した塗料は、この吹き付けた気体によって下流側に流され、被塗装部品Wへの付着を防止でき、塗装状態の悪化を防止することができる。下流側に流された塗料粒子は、フィルタ23,25によって捕捉される。
【0032】
このとき、エアジェットノズル43は、ステンレス製メッシュ61から導入する気体の流れとほぼ平行に気体を噴出している。これにより、ステンレス製メッシュ61から導入する気体の流れの乱れを防止している。
【0033】
また、このエアジェットノズル43は、吹出口先端側に向けて通路断面積が順次小さく、かつ扁平状となった気体吹出口43aから気体を吹き出すので、吹き出される気体は、扁平状の層流となり、塗装ブース1,3内を流れる層流状態を大きく乱すことがない。また、このエアジェットノズル43の形態は、被塗装部品の大きさや形状に応じて、上記扁平状となる層流の幅、あるいはここの層流のサイズなどを複数設定して制御できるようにしてある。
【0034】
さらにこのエアジェットノズル43の配管75に設けたフィルタ77によって配管75を流れる気体中の異物を除去するので、塗装ブース1,3内への異物の吐出を防ぐことができる。特に、異物として油分を除去することで、この油分が被塗装部品に付着することによる塗料の付着性の悪化を防止することができる。
【0035】
また、塗装ロボットRの気流上流側に、遮蔽板57を設けることで、塗装ロボットRを設置することによる乱流発生を防止できる。そして、この遮蔽板57で遮蔽された塗装ロボットRの配置位置近傍の塗装ブース側壁の突出領域59にステンレス製メッシュ61を設け、ここから外気を取り入れることで、塗装ロボットR周辺における気体の流れを層流として維持することができる。
【0036】
なお、上記したステンレス製メッシュ61は、塗装ロボットRを配置した塗装作業位置が、突出領域59側の塗装ブース側壁に近いほど、ステンレス製メッシュ61の設置領域を大きくし、ステンレス製メッシュ61から流入する気体量を増大させることで、層流状態を確実に維持することができる。
【0037】
また、出入口部63の開閉ドア65にもステンレス製メッシュ67を設けたので、外気をより確実に塗装ブース1,3内に取り入れることができ、層流状態をより確実に発生させることができる。
【0038】
また、この塗装ブース1と隣接する塗装ブース3との間に仕切壁2を設けることで、塗装ブース1,3内の層流状態をさらに確実に維持することができる。
【0039】
なお、上記した実施形態において、塗装ブース3では、例えば作業者が手作業で被塗装部品に対して塗装作業を行ってもよい。この場合にも、エアジェットノズル43を設置して、落下する塗料粒子を吹き飛ばすことで、被塗装部品の塗装状態の悪化を防止することができる。
【0040】
また多孔部材としては、ステンレス製メッシュに限ることはなく、多数の小孔を備えたものであればよい。
【0041】
なお、本実施形態では、乾燥室、塗装ブース、排気室がそれぞれ2ライン並行に設置された塗装装置で説明したが、2ラインに限る必要はない。
【0042】
また、上記2ラインの内、塗装ブースの一方に突出領域59を設けているが、これも被塗装部品や塗装ブース内の大きさおよび塗装ブース内に設置した塗装ロボットの大きさやその稼働範囲の広さ、さらには支持機構39の大きさの関係によっては、必ずしも必要とせず、排気室9の側壁と塗装ブース1の側壁とが同一平面になっても構わない。

In this state, when one of the parts to be painted W on the rotation support arm 49 is on the back side as shown in FIG. 4, the paint is ejected from the nozzle 45 of the painting robot R to cover the entire surface of the part to be coated W. Perform painting work. At the same time, gas is blown from the air jet nozzle 43 between the part to be coated W and the part cradle 41 separately from the laminar flow in the painting booths 1 and 3.
[0030]
As described above, by carrying out the painting operation while the airflow is in a laminar flow state, dust floating in the painting booths 1 and 3 is allowed to flow downstream without being retained, and is ejected from the nozzle 45 to be coated. The paint particles that have not adhered to the component W are also caused to flow downstream along the laminar air flow, thereby preventing dust from adhering to the component W to be coated and re-adhesion of the scattered paint particles. .
[0031]
The air jet nozzle 43 blows gas between the part to be coated W and the part cradle 41 and from the upper part to the lower part. The applied paint is caused to flow downstream by the sprayed gas, can be prevented from adhering to the part W to be coated, and deterioration of the paint state can be prevented. The paint particles flowed downstream are captured by the filters 23 and 25.
[0032]
At this time, the air jet nozzle 43 ejects a gas substantially parallel to the flow of the gas introduced from the stainless steel mesh 61. Thereby, the disturbance of the flow of the gas introduced from the stainless steel mesh 61 is prevented.
[0033]
Further, since the air jet nozzle 43 blows out gas from the gas outlet 43a having a passage cross-sectional area that is sequentially smaller toward the front end side of the outlet and becomes flat, the blown-out gas is a flat laminar flow. Thus, the laminar flow state flowing in the painting booths 1 and 3 is not greatly disturbed. The form of the air jet nozzle 43 can be controlled by setting a plurality of laminar flow widths or laminar flow sizes according to the size and shape of the part to be coated. is there.
[0034]
Further, since foreign matters in the gas flowing through the pipe 75 are removed by the filter 77 provided in the pipe 75 of the air jet nozzle 43, the discharge of foreign matters into the coating booths 1 and 3 can be prevented. In particular, by removing oil as a foreign substance, it is possible to prevent deterioration of paint adhesion due to the oil adhering to a part to be coated.
[0035]
Further, by providing the shielding plate 57 on the upstream side of the air flow of the painting robot R, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of turbulent flow due to the installation of the painting robot R. Then, a stainless steel mesh 61 is provided in the protruding area 59 on the side wall of the painting booth in the vicinity of the position where the painting robot R is shielded by the shielding plate 57, and the outside air is taken in from this to thereby flow the gas around the painting robot R. It can be maintained as a laminar flow.
[0036]
The stainless steel mesh 61 described above increases the installation area of the stainless steel mesh 61 and flows from the stainless steel mesh 61 as the painting work position where the painting robot R is disposed is closer to the painting booth side wall on the protruding area 59 side. The laminar flow state can be reliably maintained by increasing the amount of gas to be produced.
[0037]
Moreover, since the stainless steel mesh 67 is also provided in the opening / closing door 65 of the entrance / exit 63, the outside air can be taken into the coating booths 1 and 3 more reliably, and a laminar flow state can be generated more reliably.
[0038]
Further, by providing the partition wall 2 between the painting booth 1 and the adjacent painting booth 3, the laminar flow state in the painting booths 1 and 3 can be more reliably maintained.
[0039]
In the above-described embodiment, in the painting booth 3, for example, an operator may perform a painting operation on a part to be painted manually. Also in this case, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the coating state of the part to be coated by installing the air jet nozzle 43 and blowing the falling paint particles.
[0040]
The porous member is not limited to a stainless steel mesh, and may be any member provided with a large number of small holes.
[0041]
In the present embodiment, the drying apparatus, the coating booth, and the exhaust chamber have been described with respect to the coating apparatus in which two lines are installed in parallel, but it is not necessary to be limited to two lines.
[0042]
Of the two lines, a projecting area 59 is provided on one side of the painting booth. This also depends on the size of the parts to be painted, the size of the painting booth, the size of the painting robot installed in the painting booth, and its operating range. The side wall of the exhaust chamber 9 and the side wall of the painting booth 1 may be flush with each other depending on the size and the size of the support mechanism 39.
