Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the imperfect coating material pulverization and air inclusion at a rotary atomizing head by providing a hollow part with an air vent route in addition to coating material ejection holes and a self-cleaning route in order to withdraw the coating material, etc., entering this hollow part. SOLUTION: The hollow part 16 of the revolving shaft 3 is provided with the air vent route 17 in addition to the coating material ejection holes 15 of the rotary atomizing head 1 and self-cleaning route 14 for withdrawing part of the air for preventing the infiltration of the coating material and detergent accumulating in the hollow part 16 in communication with the hollow part 16 of a revolving shaft 3. If the atomizing head is formed in such a manner, the pressure rise in the hollow part of the revolving shaft is suppressed and the vigorous ejection of the air from the coating material ejection holes and the self-cleaning route do not arise any more and almost all of the coating material arrives at edges by transferring the inside surface of the rotary atomizing head. Then, the coating material is splashed and pulverized therefrom and, therefore, and imperfect pulverization does not arise any more.

2. Description of the Related Art A plurality of paint nozzles are provided in a hollow portion of a rotary shaft rotatably supported by an air bearing, and a cleaning agent supply pipe for cleaning a rotary atomizing head attached to the tip of the rotary shaft. Rotary atomizing electrostatic coating devices in which and are arranged are known. In the conventional device, in order to prevent the paint and detergent from entering the air bearing and causing a rotation failure, and the paint adheres to the outer surface of the tip of the paint feed tube, which eventually falls onto the surface to be coated. In order to prevent paint failure, it is necessary to prevent the paint and cleaning agent from flowing back into the rotary bearing. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-17148
No. 3 gazette discloses a cleaning agent path that is also used as an air supply path during coating or cleaning (when cleaning the inside of the paint feed tube) (a path different from the cleaning agent path that cleans the inside of the paint feed tube). Through the compressed air to increase the pressure in the hollow part of the rotating shaft (some of the bearing air to the air bearing may leak into the hollow part of the rotating shaft and increase the pressure in the hollow part of the rotating shaft. It is smaller than the pressure rise in the hollow part of the rotating shaft due to compressed air through the), thereby preventing the paint during painting and the cleaning agent (cleaning agent for cleaning the paint feed tube) during cleaning from entering the rotating shaft. Disclosed is a method for preventing backflow of paints and cleaning agents.

However, the conventional method has the following problems. As shown in FIG. 3, compressed air (paint / cleaning agent intrusion prevention air) entering the hollow portion 16 'in the rotary shaft is originally the paint spray hole 15' of the atomizing head through which only the paint passes, and during coating. Self-cleaning path 14 'where paint should not squirt
There is no choice but to escape through the atmosphere into the atmosphere. Therefore, during painting, a part of the paint is jetted forward together with the air passing through the paint jetting hole 15 ', or is jetted forward together with the air passing through the self-cleaning path 14'. . As a result, a part of the paint cannot be atomized by being sprayed from the atomizing head edge part along the atomizing head surface, and a large amount of paint with poor atomization occurs.
Causes paint quality problems. In addition, a part of the paint containing the air may become bubbles and adhere to the object to be coated, resulting in poor coating. If the supply of air is stopped in order to prevent the occurrence of these coating defects, backflow of the paint and cleaning agent into the rotary shaft occurs. An object of the present invention is to provide a rotary atomizing electrostatic coating device capable of suppressing the occurrence of atomization defects and air entrainment at the rotary atomizing head of the paint due to the paint / cleaner intrusion prevention air that has entered the hollow portion of the rotary shaft. To provide.

Next, the operation will be described. An operation common to the first and second embodiments of the present invention will be described. At the time of coating, the paint from the paint tank 8 is supplied to the inner surface of the rotary atomizing head 1 through the paint feed tube 11 (the cleaning agent is not supplied at that time), passes through the paint spray hole 15 of the rotary atomizing head 1, It reaches the edge of the rotary atomizing head 1 through the inner surface of the rotary atomizing head 1, and is scattered and atomized from there. At this time, the compressed air from the compressed air source 24 is supplied into the cleaning agent and air supply pipe 13 through the path 22 and is jetted from the tip of the supply pipe 13. The jet air prevents the paint from adhering to the outer circumference of the tip of the paint feed tube 11. The cleaning includes cleaning the interior of the paint feed tube 11 that sends the cleaning agent into the paint feed tube 11 through the path 19, and cleaning the rotary atomizing head 1 that sends the cleaning agent into the supply tube 13 for the cleaning agent and air through the path 22. is there.

However, since the air that has entered the hollow portion 16 in the rotary shaft escapes from the air vent passage 17, the hollow portion 1 in the rotary shaft 1
The pressure increase in the hollow portion 16 in the rotary shaft due to the air entering 6 is suppressed as compared with the conventional case. Therefore, the amount of air passing through the paint ejection hole 15 of the rotary atomizing head 1 and the self-cleaning path 14 to the atmosphere is small, and the momentum is also small.
As a result, at the time of painting, the air is not blown forward without being transmitted to the inner surface of the atomizing head, and the amount of air caught in the paint is negligibly small. Therefore, the atomization of the paint in the rotary atomizing head 1 and the occurrence of coating defects are suppressed. The effect of preventing the paint and the cleaning agent from entering the hollow portion 16 is that the jet of compressed air is in the vicinity of the paint outlet of the paint feed tube 11 and the discharged paint is forcibly pushed forward by the air.
Secured enough. Even when the force of the air blown from the paint outlet is too strong, a large amount of air is blown out from the paint jet hole 15 of the rotary atomizing head 1, but the pressure of the jet air is set to 10
By setting the pressure to 0 KPa or less, it is possible to suppress excessive ejection of air through the paint ejection holes 15.

According to the present invention, a rotary atomizing head which communicates with a hollow portion of a rotary shaft and removes a part of the paint / cleaning agent intrusion prevention air contained in the hollow portion from the hollow portion. Since the air vent path other than the paint ejection hole and the self-cleaning path formed in the above is provided, the pressure rise in the hollow part of the rotating shaft is suppressed, and air may be ejected vigorously from the paint ejection hole or the self-cleaning path. Almost all of the coating material passes along the inner surface of the rotary atomizing head, reaches the edge portion, and is scattered and atomized from there, so that the atomization failure does not occur. Further, since the air is not vigorously ejected from the paint ejection hole or the self-cleaning path, the air entrainment of the paint becomes negligible, and the coating failure due to the air entrainment does not occur.
