Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a coating surface in a homogenous state by correcting the total emitting amount of paint from the next time when the difference between the total emitting amount of the paint estimated in a series of painting works and that of the actually used paint continuously exceeds by a predetermined amount in painting works carried out a predetermined number of times corresponding to said difference. CONSTITUTION:The total emitting amount of paint estimated prior to a series of painting works is preliminarily stored in the memory 2 in a control apparatus 1. The total emitting amount of the paint actually used in a series of painting works is detected by a flowmeter 3. When the difference between the estimated total emitting amount and the actually measured total emitting amount continuously exceeds a predetermined amount with respect to the painting works of a predetermined number of times, a regulator 5 is controlled on the basis of the pressure value from a pressure sensor 4 to adjust the emitting pressure of the paint. Then, the total emitting amount of the paint in the painting work from the next time is corrected corresponding to said difference. As a result, the emitting amount of the paint is stabilized to make it possible to obtain a coating surface in a relatively homogenous state.

In the discharge amount control method according to the present invention, prior to the actual painting operation, the total amount of paint discharged as a reference is calculated in advance for a series of painting operations in each cycle. This is theoretically calculated based on data such as the total area of the coated surface, the thickness of the coated film, the discharge time, the atmospheric temperature during the coating operation, and the viscosity of the paint under the circumstances.

Such operations are carried out at any time for a predetermined number of coating operations thereafter, and the range of change between the standard discharge amount of the paint and the total discharge amount of the paint actually used exceeds the predetermined amount. If it is determined that it exceeds the range, the constant related to the command value of the discharge amount is corrected according to the value of the change range. Then, the regulator 5 is adjusted based on the pressure value from the pressure sensor 4 provided together with the flow meter 3, and the discharge pressure of the paint is adjusted. As a result, the total amount of paint discharged in the first painting operation is corrected, and paint is sprayed at an amount of paint discharged per unit time that matches this total amount of paint discharged. In this case, the temperature of the paint detected by the temperature sensor 6 is also taken into consideration when correcting the command value.
