A preferred embodiment of a coating material spraying apparatus according to a second aspect of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

16 is a view schematically showing a coating material spraying apparatus according to a second aspect of the present invention.

16, the coating material spraying apparatus according to the second aspect of the present invention receives coating material from the coating material supply unit 200 through one side and receives air from the air supply source P A mixing part 400 for mixing the coating material and air; And an injection nozzle 420 coupled to the other side of the mixing part 400 and adapted to inject the mixed coating material and air mixed in the mixing part 400 onto the coating object 1, The air supply line 310 through which the air is supplied from the supply source P to the mixing unit 400 is provided with an air heating unit 320 for heating the air to a predetermined preheating temperature.

The coating material supply unit 200 is positioned above one side of the mixing unit 400 and hermetically connected to the mixing unit 400 and the pipe 210 so that the coating material is supplied from the coating material supply unit 200 to the pipe 210, To the mixing unit 400. [0050] The coating material supply unit 200 is formed in a hemispherical shape or a circular truncated cone shape and has an inner surface as a heat transfer surface to prevent the moisture contained in the coating material contained therein Can be removed.

The air supply line 310 may be formed of an air hose. Since the air heating unit 320 is installed in the air supply line 310, the air hose is preferably made of a material having excellent heat resistance.

The air heating unit 320 includes an air flow pipe 210 provided inside the air heating unit 320 and communicating with the air supply line 310 and an air flow pipe 210 surrounding the air flow pipe 210, (Not shown) for heating the heat exchanger (not shown).

Preferably, the air flow tube 210 may be spirally disposed within the air heating portion 320.

Further, as a further embodiment, preferably, the air flow tube 210 may be arranged linearly inside the air heating part 320, and the heating wire may be spirally arranged on the inner side of the air heating part.

The predetermined preheating temperature of the air heater 320 is lower than the thermal deformation temperature of the coating material and is within a temperature range higher than normal temperature. For example, when the object to be fastened is coated to coat the object to be fastened with the coating material, the object to be fastened has a heating temperature of about 170 ° C to 180 ° C, so that the object to be fastened does not suddenly fall in temperature Air must be heated.

As described above, since the inner surface of the coating material supply unit 200 is provided on the heat transfer surface, moisture present in the coating material in contact with the inner surface can be removed, but moisture present in the entire coating material can not be completely removed . Accordingly, by mixing the coating material and the heated air in the mixing part 400, it is possible to completely remove the moisture present in the entire coating material.

The injection nozzle 420 is formed so that the coating material can be sprayed only on the portion of the object 1 to be coated with the coating material. That is, when covering only the head portion 1a of the fastening object 1, the injection nozzle 420 is formed to have a pointed shape corresponding to the shape of the head portion 1a. In addition, when covering only the trunk portion 1a of the fastening object 1, the injection nozzle 420 is formed to have a shape corresponding to the shape of the trunk portion 1b.

Generally, in a coating apparatus for coating a coating material on a fastening object such as a screw, the coating material is first heated to a temperature suitable for welding the coating material to the fastening object, such as about 170 ° C to 180 ° C (C section in (b)), the coating material is coated. At the time of spraying the coating material on the object to be fastened, the air is simultaneously sprayed so that the coating material does not flow into a portion where coating is not required. Accordingly, the coating material and the air at room temperature are simultaneously sprayed on the object to be fastened heated by the heating unit, so that the temperature of the object to be fastened is rapidly lowered (section B in FIG. 17A) The coating material is not uniformly coated on the object to be fastened because it contains moisture because the coating material is continuously exposed to moisture.

However, when the air heater 320 is mounted and the coating material is sprayed as in the coating material spraying apparatus according to the second aspect of the present invention (FIG. 16), the coating material and the heated air are mixed in the mixing unit 400 The moisture present in the entire coating material can be completely removed. Also, in FIG. 17 (b), the temperature of the object to be fastened heated by the heating part is not sharply lowered due to the injection of the heated air as in the section D. Thus, there is an effect that the coating material can be uniformly coated on the object to be fastened.

A preferred embodiment of the coating material supply apparatus according to the third aspect of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 18 is a view showing a coating material supply apparatus according to a third aspect of the present invention, and FIG. 19 is a view showing a use state of the coating material dispersion unit in the coating material supply apparatus according to the third aspect of the present invention.

The case 510 is formed in a hemispherical shape or a circular truncated cone shape so that an upper portion thereof is opened and a receiving space 512 is formed to accommodate a coating material therein. Since the coating material is continuously exposed to the external moisture, such moisture causes the coating material to flocculate. Accordingly, the inner surface of the accommodation space 512 is provided as a heat transfer surface, and current is supplied to the heat transfer surface to generate heat, thereby removing the moisture of the coating material accommodated in the accommodation space 512 . In addition, the coating material moving passage 514 has a constant width and is spirally arranged from the lower side to the upper side along the inner rim of the case 510. When the forward and reverse rotational vibrations are applied to the case 510 on the horizontal plane, the coating material accommodated in the accommodating space 512 of the case 510 flows through the coating material moving path 514 Movement.

[ A height adjusting part 523 for adjusting the vertical movement is installed at one end 522a of the first dispersing unit 522. Since the vertical adjusting device including the height adjusting part 523 is well known and commonly used, A detailed description of the technical configuration of the present invention will be omitted. On the other hand, since the coating material is continuously exposed to external moisture, the coating material is not uniformly coated on the object for coating fastening because the coating material contains moisture because the coating material is continuously exposed. As a result, the coagulated coating material moves along the coating material moving path 514 and is primarily dispersed while passing the gap between the other end 522b of the first dispersing unit 522 and the coating material moving path 514 do.
