Definitions

  • My invention relates to an apparatus for electrostatic coating with liquid coating materials such as paints or the like, and is a continuation-in-part of abandoned application Serial Number 607,825.
  • the surface of the article to be coated and the atomizer head are brought into spaced relationship and an electrical potential difference is established therebetween for creating an electrostatic field for charging the particles to be electrostati'cally deposited on said articles.
  • One feature of the invention is to provide a centrifugal atomizer for mechanically feeding a tilm of fluent material, such as paint, outwardly toward the peripheral edge or atomizing edge of the device.
  • a novel feature of the invention is to employ a stationary spray nozzle disposed axially in the atomizer and having its atomizing end rearwardly of the peripheral edge of the atomizer.
  • the nozzle is adjustable, so that a spray may be provided all about the axis thereof, to provide a 360 spray.
  • the material is urged under pressure out toward the atomizing end of the nozzle forming a 360 coating material feeding pattern, which is positioned externally of a cylindrical channel, which is coupled to a source of compressed air.
  • the paint is urged outwardly of its cylindrical feeding chamber adjacent a flat surface, while the annular ring of air internally of the circular paint source is directed outwardly to atomize the paint and drive it laterally of the nozzle head axis.
  • An outer sleeve or spray control is movable longitudinally of the axis of the nozzle to direct the lateral spray either forwardly or rearwardly within the reservoir of the atomizer to control the density of the spray immediately adjacent the inner surface of the centrifugal atomizer and depositing same thereon.
  • One of the advantages is to provide a pneumatic 360 spray for pneumatically atomizing a coating material, which is projected sidewise onto the internal surfaces of an annular cone or atomizer disc.
  • the paint will be initially atomized in a 360 radially expanding spray, which, thereafter, forms a film on the inner surface of the atomizer, where centrifugal action urges the film of coating material outwardly toward the atomizing edge.
  • the nozzle -atomizer has means for directing the spray forwardly or rearwardly within the contines of the reservoir of the atomizer.
  • Coating material on the atomizer or applicator head is induced to leave the head and reservoir under the inuence of the centrifugal, force and potential difference as a finely dispersed spray of liquid particles, which particles are then deposited on the surface of the article to be coated, so as to form the desired decorative or protective coating.
  • the dual atomization produced 4in a continuous sequence provides coatings which may be applied with greater efficiency and improved uniformity.
  • the coating operation can be performed in a smaller area of space with a reduced amount of apaired States Patent O paratus and at an increased rate of speed, as compared with known prior art devices.
  • Electrostatic atomization as applied in spray coating, has many advantages. It greatly increases the efficient use of coating material. It eliminates the necessity of ventilation. It permits the use of simplitied apparatus.
  • an apparatus which includes an atomizer in the form of a cone-shaped chambered structure ⁇ or reservoir, which may be rotated, if desired.
  • An extended ⁇ discharge edge is associated with the outer or atornizing edge or exit end of the atomizer chamber.
  • An electrical potential coupled to the atomizer raises the discharge edge to a potential high enough to cause the electrostatic breaking up or atomization of the liquid material supplied to it.
  • the atomizing peripheral discharge edge is preferably made of electrical conducting materialA and is of knifeedge sharpness yin its cross-section.
  • the extent of the discharge surface may be rectilinear, arcuate or annular, although I have found that optimum results are achieved by using a discharge edge in the form of an annulus.
  • Such an ⁇ annular edge under the action of an electrostatic iield, permits the points of atomization to distribute themselves uniformly therearound. Such is due to the mutual electrical repulsion of the several points or streams of atomization.
  • the use of the invention may be carried out by presenting, in a predetermined position, the leading edge of a thin stream of liquid material and moving an article past this leading edge and in spaced relation thereto.
  • the liquid may be under 4atmospheric pressure or it may be subjected to greater pressures through the use of atomized air. That is, the liquid and air may be used in combination.
  • the electrical potential and the liquid and air pressures may be adjusted for varying the quality of atomization of the liquid material from the leading edge.

  • the surfaces of the atomizer 10 are shaped to eliminate all unnecessary corners or points, and therefby to increase the eciency of the action of the electrostatic forces on the liquid coating material, where the S entire reservoir structure is made of electrical conducting material.
  • the reservoir wall is of conducting material and is formed to provide an annular discharge edge 14, which is of knife-edge sharpness or is otherwise attenuated.
  • the wall portions of the structure are machined to a smooth surface, so as to offer ⁇ a uniform passage along the entire length thereof, which passage functions to aid in the control of the feeding of liquid material to the discharge edge ⁇ in substantially equal quantities along its entire periphery.
  • the discharge edge must be smooth and free from any abrupt changes in direction, in order that the potential gradient of the iield will be as uniform as possible.
  • the body wall is tapered, as shown, so that the inner end of the inner surface 12 is of considerably less diameter than the diameter at the annular discharge or ⁇ atomizer edge 14.

  • the potential source 22 may be connected directly to the portion of the structure which comprises the discharge edge.
  • a pattern obtained by disposing the atomized material on a iiat sheet immediately in front of the device, is in the outline of an annular ring. Obviously, the pattern may be modiiied by varying the diameter of the edge 14.
  • One means for controlling the rate of ow of liquid material through the passage in atomizer 1t) is by varying the rate of flow through the nozzle spray head. That is, the rate of flow of coating material to the discharge edge may be controlled by adjusting the pressure applied to the liquid material in the chamber by appropriate means in the nozzle spray head.
  • the coating material ⁇ lrn on the atomizer is centrifugally thrown radially outward, along the plane of the atomizer edge. r[The atomizer material will follow the lines of force of the eld in being precipitated upon the surface of the article to ibe coated. When precipitated on a flat surface, the atomized material appears in the form or pattern of a hollow ring. Relative motion ofthe article being coated in this field pattern results in a complete and uniform coating,
  • the material is centrifugaily atomized lby a ⁇ discatomizer from a series of points or locations circumferentially about the atomizing edge of the atomizer, which points, by mutual electrical repulsion or centrifugal action, will assume and remain in a series of relatively equally spaced positions.
  • the cone-shaped atomizer 10 may, if desired, be rotated with the applicator head during the coating operation.
  • the uniformity of the coating obtained is greatly improved, 'because the coating material is distributed more uniformly about the interior of the atomizer and the annular extended discharge atomizing edge, and thus, is centrifugally atomized more uniformly into a pattern issuing from such ⁇ atomizing edge.
  • the coating material would flow to the lower portions of the cone under the action of gravity, and the pattern which would result, when such a device was used for coating vertically disposed surfaces, would be asymmetrical to such an extent that the lower half of the surface would receive practically all of the coating.
