を行う状態に成るとも云へる。(Prior art) Conventionally, in general, when changing color 1, that is, every time the color of paint powder is changed, the gun for electrostatic powder coating and the hose used for transporting the powder are removed at one end and separately prepared in advance. Since the guns and hoses had to be replaced with dedicated guns and hoses for other colors, it took a lot of time and required all types of equipment for each color, resulting in a large amount of expense. On the other hand, an example of an invented device developed as a means to save costs in the above-mentioned method is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 55-109462 filed by Gema of Switzerland. This is a device that can perform multi-color powder coating using only the gun and pose. Needless to say, there is a need to remove it. Namely, in the above-mentioned apparatus, as shown in FIG. A plurality of convergently oblique conduits 17, 18P, etc. are formed to feed under pressure to the gun 22 for spraying electrolytic powder paint in a fluid state, and one of the convergent conduits is close to the gun 22. at the end of which is integrally connected to the mixing chamber 24 and further includes one delivery conduit 2.
It continues to o. 4. At the end of the tip cap C, which is provided with a mixing chamber 24 and a delivery channel 20, the fluidized paint powder mixed with low pressure air is delivered to the gun 22. Connect the hose 19. In the above apparatus, for example, when performing a color change operation to switch from the 20 colors of paint powder in the hopper shown in Figure 6 to the paint powder in hopper 1, the first step is to transfer the powder paint powder to the powder paint supply device 6. (In order to stop the supply of powder coating material, the conveying low-pressure air flow 12 and the low-pressure air flow 61 for adjusting the coating powder supply are stopped.) As a second step, the powder coating material supply device 6 and the conduit 14 are
While the high-pressure pulsating air flow 62 for cooling is stopped, pinch valve air pressure is applied to the boats 41 such as pinch valves 15 and 16 connected to the ends of each conduit 17, 18, etc. With everything closed 1 and the gun 22 opened as a third step, first the boat 44 is opened.
Purge air forming a high-pressure pulsating air flow 63 for cleaning is sent through the conduit 65 to blow up residual paint powder adhering to the color change box A'.
3's own purge air is fed through the conduit 64 to the conduits 17, 18, etc. and the mixing chamber 24. The delivery guide path 20 is cleaned. In the next fourth stage, Bo) 31, 32
.. The air flow to 44 is reduced to a small h-value and supplied in a steady state rather than in a pulsating state. During this period, the conduits 17, 18, etc., the delivery conduit 20, and the mixing chamber 24 are kept in a clean state, and the paint in the hopper 1 for storing paint powder to be changed to one color is maintained in a clean state. A 4-ite feed of powder is prepared by introducing the conveying air flow 11 and a low-pressure air flow 51, and then the powder flows when the pinch pulp 15 is opened by removing the pinch valve air pressure 40b to the bow 41 of the pinch pulp 15. The delivery of paint powder to the gun 22 begins. The above color change work is carried out at 0 and 5 when the first painted object 60 enters the painting booth B.
It is desirable that the process be completed within about 8 seconds, and it is said that this allows the first few tiles of the new paint powder to be in a state where a kind of cleaning work is performed.

した。(Means for solving the structural problems of the invention) The present inventor 1. examined the loading and cleaning methods of the prior art and 1.
As a result of repeating the Utsuki 1 experiment, it was found that the number of remaining paint powder spots before the color change was 1 (1), the connection part N between the hose 19 and the tip cap C (see Figure 5), the conduits 17 and 18, etc. Two small areas of sticking to the inner wall M near the exit were confirmed. Namely, regarding the former, a stepped annular recess D based on the diameter difference is formed in the joint portion where the outer peripheral portion of the hose 19 is inserted into the inner peripheral portion of the delivery conduit 20 at the end portion 103 of the tip cap C. A small amount of paint powder remains in the recess D and cannot be completely removed even by the high-pressure pulsating air flow caused by purge air, causing it to stick to the inner walls of the latter conduits 17, 18, etc. Inferring that, in order to simultaneously blow the same purge air into the conduits 17 and 18 etc. using high-pressure pulsating airflow to clean the insides of the conduits 17 and 18 with paint powder adhered to them, 1.
It was thought that the purge air flowing into one of the channels caused the paint powder of the previous color to flow back into the other channel, which was a paint block of a different color, and land there. From the above points, as a means of completely cleaning) ■, the connection part between the tip cap C and the hose 19 was separately installed in a practical application filed in 1983-960.
73, the end of the hose 19 is connected to the delivery conduit 20 at the end 103 of the tip cap C, which is provided with an annular step with a thickness equivalent to the wall thickness of the hose 19 and has an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter of the hose. The closet/hose 19 is securely connected to the bush type adapter 107 through the wedge-shaped ring 111, and the conventional step-shaped annular depression D is eliminated. 31
.. Simultaneous cleaning of the same species by high pressure pulsating air flow 63 through 32 and 44 is preceded by pulse cleaning by high pressure pulsating air flow 63 from the inlet 100 side closer to the pinch pulp, followed by pulsating cleaning by high pressure pulsating air flow 63 from the boat 44. The pulse cleaning is started from the middle using a high-pressure pulsating air flow with the phase of the former pulsation shifted. 1 Furthermore, the high-pressure pulsating air flow is directly blown into the gun 2z as atomized cleaning air, while for the entire period mentioned above. By sending a steady air flow of medium and low pressure as scavenging cleaning air from the inlet 100, it is possible to prevent paint powder from adhering to the conduits 17, 18, etc. due to backflow, and to achieve complete cleaning inside the device. I made it.
