Description

本発明は、回転霧化頭を洗浄対象とする塗装ガンの洗浄技術の改良に関する。   The present invention relates to an improvement in a coating gun cleaning technique that uses a rotary atomizing head as a cleaning target.

例えば、塗装対象の製品に応じて、１つの塗装ガンで複数種類の塗料を吐出することがある。塗料の種類を切り換える際、塗装ガンに残った塗料を取り除くため、塗装ガンの先端に設けられた回転霧化頭を洗浄する技術が提案されている（例えば、特許文献１（図４）参照。）。   For example, depending on the product to be painted, a plurality of types of paints may be discharged with a single painting gun. In order to remove the paint remaining on the coating gun when switching the type of paint, a technique for cleaning the rotary atomizing head provided at the tip of the coating gun has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1 (FIG. 4)). ).

この特許文献１の技術を図面に基づいて以下に説明する。
図７に示されるように、塗装ガンの先端に回転可能に設けられた回転霧化頭１００は、回転軸の近傍に塗料を吐出する中心部塗料吐出孔１０１を有すると共に回転軸に対して円錐形を呈するように傾斜させて塗料を吐出する外側塗料吐出孔１０２を有している。 The technique of this patent document 1 is demonstrated below based on drawing.
As shown in FIG. 7, the rotary atomizing head 100 provided rotatably at the tip of the coating gun has a central paint discharge hole 101 for discharging paint in the vicinity of the rotary shaft and has a cone with respect to the rotary shaft. It has an outer coating material discharge hole 102 that discharges the coating material inclined so as to exhibit a shape.

回転霧化頭１００を洗浄する際、洗浄ノズル１０３の中心軸が回転霧化頭１００の回転軸に重なるようにして、中心部塗料吐出孔１０１に洗浄ノズル１０３を対向配置する。洗浄ノズル１０３から中心部塗料吐出孔１０１に向けて洗浄液を吐出する。洗浄液の一部は、中心部塗料吐出孔１０１から吹き込まれ回転霧化頭１００の裏側にある塗料溜まり１０４に進入して塗料１０５を洗い流す。そして、洗浄液は、塗料溜まり１０４内を洗浄し、外側塗料吐出孔１０２から排出される。また、洗浄液の残部は、回転霧化頭１００の塗料薄膜化面１０６に沿って流れ、塗料薄膜化面１０６を洗浄する。   When cleaning the rotary atomizing head 100, the cleaning nozzle 103 is disposed opposite to the central paint discharge hole 101 so that the central axis of the cleaning nozzle 103 overlaps the rotational axis of the rotary atomizing head 100. The cleaning liquid is discharged from the cleaning nozzle 103 toward the central paint discharge hole 101. A part of the cleaning liquid is blown from the central paint discharge hole 101 and enters the paint reservoir 104 on the back side of the rotary atomizing head 100 to wash away the paint 105. The cleaning liquid cleans the inside of the paint reservoir 104 and is discharged from the outer paint discharge hole 102. Further, the remaining portion of the cleaning liquid flows along the paint thinning surface 106 of the rotary atomizing head 100 to clean the paint thinning surface 106.

しかし、中心部塗料吐出孔１０１は、孔の数が少なく、流入する洗浄液の量が少ないため、塗料溜まり１０４内の洗浄の工数が掛かる。また、中心部塗料吐出孔１０１の向きによっては、洗浄液が塗料フィードチューブ１０７に逆流する虞もある。
そこで、洗浄液が塗料フィードチューブ１０７に逆流する虞がなく、回転霧化頭１００の洗浄効率を向上させることができる塗装ガンの洗浄技術が求められている。 However, since the center paint discharge hole 101 has a small number of holes and a small amount of the cleaning liquid that flows in, the number of cleaning steps in the paint reservoir 104 is increased. Further, depending on the orientation of the central paint discharge hole 101, the cleaning liquid may flow back to the paint feed tube 107.
Accordingly, there is a need for a coating gun cleaning technique that can improve the cleaning efficiency of the rotary atomizing head 100 without causing the cleaning liquid to flow back to the paint feed tube 107.

次に塗装ガンの洗浄装置２０を断面図に基づいて説明する。
図２に示されるように、塗装ガンの洗浄装置２０は、塗装ガン１５を上から下向きに差し込むことができる筒形容器２１と、この筒形容器２１の内周面２２にノズル用ステー２３を介して取付けられ洗浄液を噴射する洗浄ノズル２４と、円筒容器２１の下部に設けられ洗浄後の洗浄液を受ける洗浄液パン１８と、からなる。洗浄ノズル２４から洗浄液を噴射することで、塗装ガン１５の先端に回転可能に設けられている回転霧化頭２５を洗浄することができる。 Next, the coating gun cleaning device 20 will be described with reference to cross-sectional views.
As shown in FIG. 2, the coating gun cleaning device 20 includes a cylindrical container 21 into which the coating gun 15 can be inserted downward, and a nozzle stay 23 on the inner peripheral surface 22 of the cylindrical container 21. And a cleaning nozzle 24 which is attached to the cylindrical container 21 and receives the cleaning liquid after cleaning. By spraying the cleaning liquid from the cleaning nozzle 24, the rotary atomizing head 25 that is rotatably provided at the tip of the coating gun 15 can be cleaned.

また、洗浄ノズル２４から噴射する洗浄液が、塗装ガン１５に当たらないときにこの洗浄液を筒形容器２１内へ落下させる飛散防止部材２６が、洗浄ノズル２４の軸２７上に置かれるようにして筒形容器２１に付設されている。これにより、洗浄液が外部に飛散することを防ぐことができる。   Further, a scattering preventing member 26 that drops the cleaning liquid into the cylindrical container 21 when the cleaning liquid sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 24 does not hit the coating gun 15 is placed on the shaft 27 of the cleaning nozzle 24. Attached to the shape container 21. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the cleaning liquid from being scattered outside.

次に外面用洗浄ノズルについて説明する。
図３に示されるように、塗装ガンの洗浄装置２０は、筒形容器２１の外周面３１に外面用ノズルステー３２を介して回転霧化頭２５の外面３３に洗浄液を噴射する外面用洗浄ノズル３４が取付けられている。外面用洗浄ノズル３４は、筒形容器２１の貫通孔３５を通って筒形容器２１の内側に延ばされている。外面用洗浄ノズル３４の軸３６上に回転霧化頭２５の外面３３が配置されるように、外面用洗浄ノズル３４が設けられている。これにより、回転霧化頭２５の外面３３を洗浄することができる。洗浄後の洗浄液は円筒容器２１内を流れ落ち、洗浄液パン１８に回収される。 Next, the outer surface cleaning nozzle will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3, the coating gun cleaning device 20 includes an outer surface cleaning nozzle that injects a cleaning liquid onto the outer surface 33 of the rotary atomizing head 25 via an outer surface nozzle stay 32 on the outer peripheral surface 31 of the cylindrical container 21. 34 is attached. The outer surface cleaning nozzle 34 extends through the through hole 35 of the cylindrical container 21 to the inside of the cylindrical container 21. The outer surface cleaning nozzle 34 is provided so that the outer surface 33 of the rotary atomizing head 25 is disposed on the shaft 36 of the outer surface cleaning nozzle 34. Thereby, the outer surface 33 of the rotary atomizing head 25 can be cleaned. The cleaning liquid after cleaning flows down in the cylindrical container 21 and is collected in the cleaning liquid pan 18.

次に回転霧化頭２５の形状について説明する。
図４に示されるように、回転霧化頭２５は、塗装ガン１５の先端に回転可能に設けられている。回転霧化頭２５の回転軸３７の近傍に塗料を吐出する中心部塗料吐出孔４１が設けられると共に、回転軸３７に対して円錐形を呈するように傾斜させて塗料を吐出する外側塗料吐出孔４２を有する。 Next, the shape of the rotary atomizing head 25 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, the rotary atomizing head 25 is rotatably provided at the tip of the coating gun 15. A central paint discharge hole 41 for discharging paint is provided in the vicinity of the rotary shaft 37 of the rotary atomizing head 25, and an outer paint discharge hole for discharging the paint inclined to form a conical shape with respect to the rotary shaft 37. 42.

回転霧化頭２５は、アウター部材４３と、このアウター部材４３との間に回転霧化頭２５の裏側としての塗料溜まり４４を構成するインナー部材４５と、アウター部材４３に塗料を導く塗料フィードチューブ４６とからなる。
塗料溜まり４４は、釣り鐘形状を呈しており、塗料溜まりの側壁４７は外側塗料吐出孔４２に滑らかに繋がっている。これにより、塗料を円滑に吐出することができる。 The rotary atomizing head 25 includes an outer member 43, an inner member 45 constituting a paint reservoir 44 as a back side of the rotary atomizing head 25, and a paint feed tube for guiding the paint to the outer member 43. 46.
The paint reservoir 44 has a bell shape, and the side wall 47 of the paint reservoir is smoothly connected to the outer paint discharge hole 42. Thereby, a coating material can be discharged smoothly.

洗浄ノズル２４は、洗浄ノズルの軸２７が外側塗料吐出孔４２の中心軸４８に重なっている。塗料フィードチューブから洗浄液を流しても、塗料溜まりの側壁４７の洗浄には工数を要するが、洗浄液を洗浄ノズル２４から外側塗料吐出孔４２に円滑に流入させれば、塗料溜まりの側壁４７を効率良く洗浄することができる。
なお、洗浄ノズルの軸２７は回転軸３７に対して角αを為している。また、回転霧化頭２５の底面５１から、洗浄ノズル２４の先端までは距離Ｌである。 In the cleaning nozzle 24, the shaft 27 of the cleaning nozzle overlaps the central shaft 48 of the outer paint discharge hole 42. Even if the cleaning liquid is allowed to flow from the paint feed tube, it takes time to clean the paint reservoir side wall 47. However, if the cleaning liquid smoothly flows from the cleaning nozzle 24 into the outer paint discharge hole 42, the paint reservoir side wall 47 can be efficiently used. Can be cleaned well.
Note that the cleaning nozzle shaft 27 forms an angle α with respect to the rotation shaft 37. The distance from the bottom surface 51 of the rotary atomizing head 25 to the tip of the cleaning nozzle 24 is a distance L.

以上に述べた塗装ガンの洗浄装置２０の作用を次に述べる。
図５（ａ）は比較例の塗装ガンの洗浄装置１２０の作用図であり、洗浄ノズル１２１は、回転霧化頭１２２の回転軸１２３上に、洗浄ノズル１２１が配置されている。
洗浄ノズル１２１から、矢印（１）のように洗浄液を吐出する。洗浄液の一部は、回転霧化頭１２２の底面１２４で矢印（２）のように跳ね返り、他の一部は矢印（３）のように流れて底面１２４を洗浄する。 The operation of the coating gun cleaning device 20 described above will now be described.
FIG. 5A is an operation diagram of the coating gun cleaning device 120 of the comparative example, and the cleaning nozzle 121 is disposed on the rotating shaft 123 of the rotary atomizing head 122.
The cleaning liquid is discharged from the cleaning nozzle 121 as indicated by the arrow (1). A part of the cleaning liquid rebounds as indicated by the arrow (2) on the bottom surface 124 of the rotary atomizing head 122, and the other part flows as indicated by the arrow (3) to clean the bottom surface 124.

洗浄液の残りは、中心部塗料吐出孔１２５から吹き込まれ、矢印（４）のように流れて、回転霧化頭１２２の裏側としての塗料溜まり１２６を洗浄し、矢印（５）のように外側塗料吐出孔１２７から外部へ排出される。
比較例の洗浄装置１２０では、塗料溜まり１２６に吹き込まれる洗浄液の量が少ないため、洗浄の工数が掛かり洗浄効率が良くない。 The remainder of the cleaning liquid is blown from the central paint discharge hole 125 and flows as indicated by an arrow (4), and the paint reservoir 126 as the back side of the rotary atomizing head 122 is cleaned, and the outer paint as indicated by an arrow (5). The ink is discharged from the discharge hole 127 to the outside.
In the cleaning device 120 of the comparative example, since the amount of the cleaning liquid blown into the paint reservoir 126 is small, the number of cleaning steps is increased and the cleaning efficiency is not good.

図５（ｂ）は実施例の塗装ガンの洗浄装置２０の作用図であり、洗浄ノズルの軸（図４、符号２７）が外側塗料吐出孔４２の中心軸（図４、符号４８）に重なるようにして、外側塗料吐出孔４２に洗浄ノズル２４を対向配置する（洗浄ノズル対向配置工程）。   FIG. 5B is an operation diagram of the coating gun cleaning apparatus 20 of the embodiment, and the axis of the cleaning nozzle (FIG. 4, reference numeral 27) overlaps the central axis (FIG. 4, reference numeral 48) of the outer paint discharge hole 42. In this manner, the cleaning nozzle 24 is disposed opposite to the outer paint discharge hole 42 (cleaning nozzle facing arrangement step).

洗浄ノズル２４から外側塗料吐出孔４２に矢印（６）のように洗浄液を吹き込み、矢印（７）のように回転霧化頭２５の裏側としての塗料溜まり４４を洗浄し、矢印（８）のように中心部塗料吐出孔４１から排出する（洗浄工程）。塗料溜まりに入った洗浄液の一部は、外側塗料吐出孔４２から矢印（９）のように排出される。また、洗浄ノズル２４から噴射された洗浄液の一部は、矢印（１０）のように流れ、回転霧化頭２５の底面５１を洗浄する。   The cleaning liquid is blown from the cleaning nozzle 24 into the outer paint discharge hole 42 as indicated by the arrow (6), and the paint reservoir 44 as the back side of the rotary atomizing head 25 is cleaned as indicated by the arrow (7), as indicated by the arrow (8). Then, the liquid is discharged from the central paint discharge hole 41 (cleaning process). A part of the cleaning liquid that has entered the paint reservoir is discharged from the outer paint discharge hole 42 as indicated by an arrow (9). A part of the cleaning liquid ejected from the cleaning nozzle 24 flows as indicated by an arrow (10), and cleans the bottom surface 51 of the rotary atomizing head 25.

洗浄液は、外側塗料吐出孔４２から吹き込まれるので、塗料溜まりの側壁４７を円滑に流れ、効率良く洗浄することができる。
また、洗浄ノズル２４の先端形状は、真円である。これにより塗料溜まりへ流入する洗浄液の量を増加させることができる。
なお、洗浄用ノズル２４は外側塗料吐出孔４２を指向するように回転霧化頭２５の円周に沿って複数配置しても差し支えない。洗浄ノズル２４を複数配置することで、塗料溜まり４４へ流入する洗浄液の量を増加させることができる。 Since the cleaning liquid is blown from the outer coating material discharge hole 42, the cleaning solution flows smoothly through the side wall 47 of the coating material pool, and can be cleaned efficiently.

加えて、洗浄液を外側塗料吐出孔４２から吹き込めば、回転霧化頭２５の中心を通る塗料フィードチューブ４６に洗浄液が逆流することもない。結果、洗浄液が塗料フィードチューブ４６に逆流する虞がなく、回転霧化頭２５の洗浄効率を向上させることができる。 With this configuration, the number of outer paint discharge holes 42 is larger than that of the central paint discharge hole 41, so that a large amount of cleaning liquid can be collected from the outer paint discharge holes 42 on the back side of the rotary atomizing head 25. 44 can be blown in and can be cleaned in a short man-hour.
In addition, if the cleaning liquid is blown from the outer paint discharge hole 42, the cleaning liquid does not flow back to the paint feed tube 46 passing through the center of the rotary atomizing head 25. As a result, there is no possibility that the cleaning liquid flows back to the paint feed tube 46, and the cleaning efficiency of the rotary atomizing head 25 can be improved.
