Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a method for making objects for further processing dust-free, for instance car bodies for spraying, in which the objects to be processed are made dust-free by means of an air stream.
- Such a method is known from DE-A-2928226.
- This known method uses normal, that is not moistent air. Although this known method leads to a reasonable cleaning of the object, the disadvantage exists that dust collects on the object for further processing as a consequence of static electricity.
- Thus said method is less effective.
- The aim of the present invention is to provide such a method which is substantially more effective, and in which the disadvantages of static electricity are avoided.
- This aim is reached in that the objects to be processed are made dust-free by means of a moistent air stream.
- The application of moistent air results in a strong decrease in the consequences of static electricity, so that the objects to be treated, for instance the car body attracts less dust.
- Further, the present invention relates to an apparatus for making objects dust-free for further processing, for instance car bodies for spraying dust-free, comprising: a processing chamber; transporting means for carrying the objects for processing into the processing chamber and for carrying the objects processed out of the processing chamber; supply means for supplying as much dust-free air as possible to the processing chamber; and discharge means for discharging air from the processing chamber.
- Also in such an apparatus the present invention is characterized in that the supply means are adapted for supplying moistent air.
- Moistent air comprises air which is, before it is supplied to the processing chamber to an active moistening procedure. This active moistening procedure could be executed by a moistening apparatus to which air is supplied from the outside environment, this air moistens and supplies it further to the apparatus according to the present invention.
- Another possibility is that the moisturing apparatus is provided in a central location and moistens the air supplied to a works building. The apparatus according to the invention which is located within said works building could draw in its moistent air therefrom and could supply it to the apparatus according to the present invention.
- A third possibiliy involves a closed circuit in which the air drawn from the apparatus which is slightly demoistent, and which is loaded with dust particles, is cleaned an moistent, and is subsequently fed again to the apparatus according to the present invention.
- Essential is that the relative and absolute humidity of the air is greater than that of the air with the same temperature in the environment.
- According to another preferred embodiment the method is characterized in that the air stream is directed to the object to be treated by means of nozzles.
- It is noted that from DE-A-2928226 it is known to generate a wide vertical air stream, in which the whole car body to be sprayed is cleaned.
- According to a preferred embodiment the method according to claim 2 is combined with a method in which, as is known per se from said German specification, to generate an air stream in the processing chamber extending vertically downward.
- According to another embodiment the supply means and the discharge means are adapted for maintaining an atmospheric pressure in the processing chamber. Other attractive preferred embodiments appear from the other subclaims.
- The present invention will be elucidated hereinbelow with reference to the annexed figure which shows a partly broken away perspective view of an installation according to the invention.
- Shown in schematic manner in the annexed figure is a processing chamber 1 through which extends a conveyor belt 2. The latter is only shown schematically. On conveyor belt 2 are arranged carriers 3 on which are placed objects for processing, in the present case car bodies 4. As seen in the direction of movement of conveyor belt 2 the processing chamber 1 is followed by a spraying chamber 5 where car bodies 4 are sprayed.
- Processing chamber 1 is provided with two closed side walls 6,7, an
infeed wall 8 and an outfeed wall 9. Arranged ininfeed wall 8 is a passage opening 10, the contours of which are only slightly larger than the contours of the car body for processing. Also arranged in outfeed wall 9 is a passage opening 11, the contour of which is slightly larger than the contour of the car body 4 for processing. The bottom of the processing chamber is formed by a grid 12 under which is arranged a tank 13 which is filled with water. At the top the chamber is closed off by a ceiling 14. - As stated, the processing chamber is provided with supply means for supplying as much dust-free air as possible to the processing chamber. For this purpose an
air cleaning device 15 is arranged which will be briefly described below, but which does not per se form part of the present invention since such air cleaning devices are generally known. - The air coming from
air cleaning device 15 is fed via a schematically shownduct 16, in which a fan 17 is incorporated, to an equalizing space arranged above the ceiling 14 of the processing chamber. As stated, the equalizingspace 18 is closed on its underside by the ceiling 14 and on its upper side by anupper wall 19. The equalizing space is closed on its sides by the extensions of the respective side walls 6,7 and theinfeed wall 8 and the outfeed wall 9. In the ceiling 14 are arrangedgrids 20 through which the cleaned air enters processing chamber 1. - The
air duct 16 is further provided with a branching which leads to anair distributing box 21 arranged in the top of processing chamber 1. Connected to the air distributing box are twoflexible air hoses 22 which lead torespective fans 23 which are connected tonozzles 24. Thenozzles 24 are arranged for directly aiming a jet of dust-free air against the object for cleaning. This results in an improvement of the cleaning effect. It is otherwise possible to make use of a single fan placed upstream of the distributing box. It is even possible to use a combination of a fan placed upstream of the distributing box and fans placed downstream thereof. - It is noted herein that
fans 23 are present to generate sufficient pressure to enable a sufficiently powerful air jet to come fromnozzles 24. - It is further noted that the shape of
nozzles 24 is adapted to the shape of the objects for processing; according to a preferred embodiment the nozzles are further arranged for movement in the direction transversely of the direction of forward movement of the transporting means in the manner of the air driers of for instance a car wash installation. As a result the nozzles are always arranged as closely as possible to the object for cleaning so that the cleaning is as effective as possible. - It will be apparent that through supplying dust-free air to processing chamber 1 an overpressure would eventually occur in the processing chamber. In order to prevent this the air is extracted from the processing chamber, wherein this preferably takes place, as shown in annexed figure, by means of
exhaust openings 25 arranged in side walls 6,7. Theexhaust openings 25 connect onto anexhaust duct 26 which is connected to the air suction side of theair cleaning device 15. - An air circuit is thus created wherein the cleaned air coming from
air cleaning device 15 is supplied to processing chamber 1, there extracted and then fed back again viaexhaust duct 26 toair cleaning device 15. For the purpose of intervention in the relevant circuit are arranged branches such as abranch 27 which is arranged on fan 17 and in which avalve 28 is arranged with which excess cleaned air can be discharged. Aduct 29 in which acontrollable valve 30 is arranged is also arranged on the intake side for drawing in ambient air. The air management can be controlled using bothcontrollable valves - The
air discharge device 15 is provided with anair diffuser 31 which provides a good distribution of the air for cleaning, while a plurality ofatomizers 32 is also arranged for atomizing water mist in the air distributed bydiffuser 31. This ensures that the greatest possible part of the supplied air comes into contact with the mist coming fromatomizers 32, so that dust particles possibly present in the air are made heavier by the mist and precipitate in acollection tank 33 arranged for this purpose. The contaminated water thus obtained is then drained. Finally, afilter 34 for intercepting any still remaining dust particles is arranged in theair cleaning device 15. It is pointed out here that it is also possible to use other types of air cleaning device. - Valves are arranged at various locations in the air circuit for controlling the air flow and adapting said flow to the conditions.
Sensors 35 are also arranged at various locations in the air circuit for scanning the degree of humidity, density of the dust particles, temperature and other variables which can be used to control the relevant installation. Use is of course made herein of a computer which is not shown in the drawing and which serves to control the diverse control units of theair cleaning device 15, the valves and the fans. - Use can of course be made herein of other conditioning devices, such as heating devices for the air and the like.
- The operation of the installation according to the invention will now be described.
- Objects, for example car bodies 4, placed on carriers 3 are supplied via conveyor belt 2. These car bodies come from a previous processing, for instance a welding line or an immersion device, wherein the bodies are immersed in an anti-rust bath or the like. The thus pre-treated car bodies 4 are carried through the
feed opening 10 inwall 8 into the processing chamber 1, where the environment is practically dust-free. Dust which may be present on body 4 is thus carried away downward by the force of gravity wherein there is otherwise no danger of new dust particles being supplied because the processing chamber 1 is dust-free. Particles of dust falling from the body 4 fall through grid 12 and drop into tank 13. The body 4 then comes into the vicinity of thenozzles 24 which direct streams of dust-free air at the body 4. Any still remaining dust is herein blown from body 4 and carried away, wherein a practically dust-free body results which is carried through opening 11 into the following area where body 4 is for instance subjected to a spraying operation. - It is pointed out here that the
exhaust openings 25 are arranged in the vicinity of theopening 10 where the bodies 4 are carried in, while thenozzles 24 are arranged in the vicinity of the outfeed opening 11, thus obtaining a counterflow principle. - It will be apparent that different variations can be applied to the installation without deviating from the scope of this invention.
