Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Mischen und Abfüllen von Farben mit einer Vielzahl von auf einer Tragplatte angeordneten mit einer Rühreinrichtung und einem Auslaßventil versehenen Vorratsbehältern, sowie mit einer den Vorratsbehältern zuordbaren Wägestation.The invention relates to a device for mixing and filling colors with a plurality of storage containers arranged on a support plate and provided with a stirring device and an outlet valve, and with a weighing station which can be assigned to the storage containers.

Derartige Vorrichtungen zum Mischen und Abfüllen von Farben sind aus der Praxis in verschiedenen Ausführungsformen bekannt. Bei diesen bekannten Vorrichtungen sind alle Vorratsbehälter mit einem eigenen Rührwerk inklusive Antriebsmotor ausgerüstet, über die die in den Vorratsbehältern beinhalteten Farben vor der Abgabe an die Wägestation homogenisiert werden können. Die Wägestation ist entweder stationär unterhalb der Vorratsbehälter angeordnet oder aber mobil angeordnet, so daß die Wägestation jeden Vorratsbehälter gezielt anfahren kann. Die Verwendung einer stationären Wägestation hat den Nachteil, daß lange Rohrleitungen zwischen den Vorratsbehältern und der Wägestation notwendig sind und diese Rohrleitungen durch in diesen Leitungen verbleibende Farbreste leicht verstopfen können. Weiterhin ist es bei diesen bekannten Vorrichtungen zum Mischen und Abfüllen von Farben nachteilig, daß jeder Vorratsbehälter mit einem eigenen Antriebsmotor für das in dem Vorratsbehälter angeordnete Rührwerk versehen ist, da die Anschaffung und Wartung dieser Vielzahl von Antriebsmotoren sehr kostenintensiv ist.Such devices for mixing and filling colors are known in practice in various embodiments. In these known devices, all storage containers are equipped with their own stirrer including drive motor, by means of which the colors contained in the storage containers can be homogenized before being delivered to the weighing station. The weighing station is either arranged stationary below the storage container or else is arranged so that the weighing station can move to each storage container in a targeted manner. The use of a stationary weighing station has the disadvantage that long pipelines between the storage containers and the weighing station are necessary and these pipelines can easily become blocked by residual paint remaining in these lines. Furthermore, it is disadvantageous in these known devices for mixing and filling colors that each storage container is provided with its own drive motor for the stirrer arranged in the storage container, since the acquisition and maintenance of this large number of drive motors is very cost-intensive.

Darüber hinaus hat sich in der Praxis herausgestellt, daß diese bekannten Vorrichtungen zum Mischen und Abfüllen von Farben - wenn überhaupt - nur sehr beschränkt zum Mischen und Abfüllen von hochviskosen oder gar pastösen Farben, beispielsweise UV-härtenden Farben, verwendet werden können.In addition, it has been found in practice that these known devices for mixing and filling colors - if at all - are only very limited for mixing and filling highly viscous or even pasty colors, for example UV-curing inks, can be used.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, unter Meidung der voranstehend genannten Nachteile eine einfach und kostengünstig konstruierte und wartungsarm zu betreibende Vorrichtung zum Mischen und Abfüllen von Farben zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide a simple and inexpensive constructed and low-maintenance device for mixing and filling colors while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned above.

Die technische Lösung dieser Aufgabenstellung durch die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die die Vorratsbehälter tragende Tragplatte über einen Antrieb drehbar ist und daß die Rühreinrichtungen aus einer in jedem Vorratsbehälter gelagerten Rührwelle und einem an einem Tragarm verfahrbar gelagerten, an jeweils eine Rührwelle ankoppelbaren Rührmotor gebildet sind. Durch diese erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung der Rühreinrichtungen mit nur einem Antriebsmotor, der über den Tragarm jeder einzelnen Rührwelle der Vorratsbehälter zuordbar ist, erübrigt sich die Ausrüstung eines jeden Vorratsbehälters mit einem separaten Antriebsmotor, wodurch die Herstellungskosten und der Wartungsaufwand einer erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Vorrichtung zum Mischen und Abfüllen von Farben erheblich gesenkt werden können. Darüber hinaus ist es vorteilhaft, die die Vorratsbehälter tragende Tragplatte drehbar auszugestalten, so daß die Vorratsbehälter zur Wägestation und zum Rührwerksmotor hin verfahren werden können, da dies ohne die Notwendigkeit langer Rohrleitungen die Verwendung einer stationären Wägeeinrichtung ermöglicht.The technical solution to this problem by the invention is characterized in that the support plate carrying the storage container is rotatable via a drive and that the stirring devices are formed from an agitator shaft mounted in each storage container and a stirrer motor which is movably mounted on a support arm and can be coupled to an agitator shaft . This inventive design of the stirring devices with only one drive motor, which can be assigned to the storage tank via the support arm of each individual agitator shaft, eliminates the need to equip each storage tank with a separate drive motor, thereby reducing the manufacturing costs and maintenance costs of an inventive device for mixing and filling Colors can be reduced significantly. In addition, it is advantageous to make the support plate carrying the storage container rotatable, so that the storage containers can be moved toward the weighing station and towards the agitator motor, since this enables the use of a stationary weighing device without the need for long pipelines.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die die Vorratsbehälter tragende Tragplatte beheizbar. Durch die Beheizung der Tragplatte ist es möglich, die Viskosität der in den Vorratsbehältern und Rohrleitungen befindlichen Farben herabzusetzen, so daß selbst bei Raumtemperatur hochviskose oder gar pastöse Farben mit einer solchermaßen ausgestalteten Vorrichtung gemischt und abgefüllt werden können. Eine besonders wartungsfreundliche Ausgestaltung der beheizbaren Tragplatte kann dadurch erzielt werden, daß eine separate in separat auswechselbare Segmente unterteilte Heizplatte auf der Tragplatte angeordnet ist.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the support plate carrying the storage container can be heated. By heating the support plate, it is possible to reduce the viscosity of the colors in the storage containers and pipes, so that even at room temperature, highly viscous or even pasty colors can be mixed and filled with a device designed in this way. A particularly maintenance-friendly design of the heatable support plate can be achieved in that a separate heating plate, which is divided into separately replaceable segments, is arranged on the support plate.

Um auch bei mehreren hintereinander auf der Tragplatte angeordneten Vorratsbehältern den Rührwerksmotor an jede einzelne Rührwerkswelle ankoppeln zu können, überragt der den Rührwerksmotor haltende Tragarm die Tragplatte in radialer Richtung mindestens über den halben Durchmesser der Tragplatte. Der Rührwerksmotor selber ist an dem Tragarm horizontal und vertikal verfahrbar gelagert, so daß eine einfache Positionierung des Rührwerksmotors in Bezug auf jede einzelne Rührwelle möglich ist.In order to be able to couple the agitator motor to each individual agitator shaft even if there are several storage containers arranged one behind the other on the support plate, the support arm holding the agitator motor projects beyond the support plate in the radial direction at least over half the diameter of the support plate. The agitator motor itself is mounted on the support arm so that it can be moved horizontally and vertically, so that the agitator motor can be easily positioned with respect to each individual agitator shaft.

Mit einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Tragarm in der Mitte der Tragplatte gelagert die Tragplatte in radialer Richtung nach außen überragt und um die Mittelachse der Tragplatte drehbar ist. Eine solche Ausführungsform stellt eine besonders kompakte Bauweise einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung dar.With a further embodiment of the invention it is proposed that the support arm supported in the center of the support plate projects beyond the support plate in the radial direction and is rotatable about the central axis of the support plate. Such an embodiment represents a particularly compact design of a device according to the invention.

Die Verwendung einer stationären Wägestation sowie das Verfahren der einzelnen Vorratsbehälter mittels der drehbaren Tragplatte hin zur Wägestation kann dadurch erleichtert werden, daß die Auslaßventile so an mit den Vorratsbehältern versehenen Rohrleitungen angeordnet sind, daß die Auslaßventile auf einem einheitlichen Kreisumfang um die Drehachse der Tragplatte angeordnet sind.The use of a stationary weighing station and the movement of the individual storage containers by means of the rotatable support plate towards the weighing station can be facilitated in that the outlet valves are arranged on pipes provided with the storage containers in such a way that the outlet valves are arranged on a uniform circumference around the axis of rotation of the support plate .

Schließlich wird mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, daß die Bewegungen der Tragplatte, des Tragarms und des Rührwerksmotors sowie die Beheizung der Tragplatte und die Betätigung der Auslaßventile elektronisch gesteuert und überwacht werden. Durch diese elektronische Steuerung und Überwachung wird gewährleistet, daß der Rührwerksmotor jeweils exakt an der richtigen Rührwelle positioniert wird und der jeweils richtige Vorratsbehälter der Wägestation zugeordnet wird.Finally, the invention proposes that the movements of the support plate, the support arm and the agitator motor as well as the heating of the support plate and the actuation of the outlet valves are electronically controlled and monitored. This electronic control and monitoring ensures that the agitator motor is positioned exactly on the correct agitator shaft and that the correct storage container is assigned to the weighing station.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung werden nachfolgend anhand der zugehörigen Zeichnung erläutert, in der ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zum Mischen und Abfüllen von Farben schematisch dargestellt ist. In der Zeichnung zeigt:

Further details, features and advantages of the invention are explained below with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which an embodiment of an inventive device for mixing and filling colors is shown schematically. The drawing shows:
Fig. 1
is a schematic side view of a device according to the invention and
Fig. 2
a plan view of the device shown in Fig. 1.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Vorrichtung zum Mischen und Abfüllen von Farben besteht aus einer auf einem Sockel 1 angeordneten Tragplatte 2, auf der eine Vielzahl von Farben enthaltenden Vorratsbehältern 3 angeordnet sind. An einer Stelle vor der Tragplatte 2 ist eine stationäre Wägestation 4 angeordnet. Um die auf der Tragplatte 2 angeordneten Vorratsbehälter 3 zu der Wägestation 4 hin zu verfahren, ist die Tragplatte 2 drehbar ausgebildet. Hierzu ist zwischen dem Sockel 1 und der Tragplatte 2 ein Drehkranz 5 vorgesehen, der über einen Antrieb 6, beispielsweise einen Elektromotor, angetrieben wird.The device for mixing and filling colors shown in FIG. 1 consists of a support plate 2 arranged on a base 1, on which a plurality of storage containers 3 containing colors are arranged. A stationary weighing station 4 is arranged at a point in front of the support plate 2. In order to move the storage containers 3 arranged on the support plate 2 to the weighing station 4, the support plate 2 is designed to be rotatable. For this purpose, a turntable 5 is provided between the base 1 and the support plate 2, which is driven by a drive 6, for example an electric motor.

In jedem der Vorratsbehälter 3 ist eine Rührwelle 7 mit einem endseitig angeordneten Rührer 8, beispielsweise einem Propellerrührer, angeordnet, wie dies beispielhaft bei dem linken Vorratsbehälter 3 in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist. Der Antrieb der Rührwellen 7 erfolgt über einen Rührwerksmotor 9, der an einem Tragarm 10 befestigt an eine jede Rührwelle 7 eines Vorratsbehälters 3 ankoppelbar ist.In each of the storage containers 3, a stirring shaft 7 with a stirrer 8 arranged at the end, for example a propeller stirrer, is arranged, as is shown by way of example with the left storage container 3 in FIG. 1. The agitator shafts 7 are driven by an agitator motor 9, which is attached to a support arm 10 and can be coupled to each agitator shaft 7 of a storage container 3.

Bei der in den Abbildungen Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist der Tragarm 10 seitlich neben dem Sockel 1 bzw. der Tragplatte 2 angeordnet und ragt mit einem rechtwinklig abgewinkelten Teil über den halben Durchmesser der Tragplatte 2, so daß der Rührwerksmotor 9 auch an die Rührwellen 7 von hintereinander auf der Tragplatte 2 angeordneten Vorratsbehältern 3 angekoppelt werden kann. Die Ankopplung des Rührwerksmotors 9 an die Rührwellen 7 eines jeden Vorratsbehälters 3 erfolgt über die auf der Oberseite der Vorratsbehälter 3 angeordneten Rührwellenlagerungen 11.In the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the support arm 10 is arranged laterally next to the base 1 or the support plate 2 and protrudes with a right-angled part over half the diameter of the support plate 2, so that the agitator motor 9 also to the Stirrer shafts 7 can be coupled from storage containers 3 arranged one behind the other on the support plate 2. The agitator motor 9 is coupled to the agitator shafts 7 of each storage container 3 via the agitator shaft bearings 11 arranged on the upper side of the storage containers 3.

Zum Entleeren der Vorratsbehälter 3 ist jeder Vorratsbehälter 3 mit einer Rohrleitung 12 versehen, an deren freiem Ende ein Auslaßventil 13 angeordnet ist.To empty the storage container 3, each storage container 3 is provided with a pipeline 12, at the free end of which an outlet valve 13 is arranged.

Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, sind die Auslaßventile 13 so an den mit den Vorratsbehältern 3 versehenen Rohrleitungen 12 angeordnet, daß die Auslaßventile 13 auf einem einheitlichen Kreisumfang um die Drehachse der Tragplatte 2 angeordnet sind. Durch diese gleiche Positionierung der Auslaßventile 13 in radialer Richtung ist eine exakte Ansteuerung der stationären Wägestation 4 möglich.As can be seen from FIG. 2, the outlet valves 13 are arranged on the pipes 12 provided with the storage containers 3 in such a way that the outlet valves 13 have a uniform circumference around the axis of rotation of the Support plate 2 are arranged. This same positioning of the outlet valves 13 in the radial direction enables precise control of the stationary weighing station 4.

Um auch hochviskose oder gar pastöse Farben mit einer solchermaßen ausgestalteten Vorrichtung mischen und abfüllen zu können, ist die Tragplatte 2 beheizbar ausgebildet. Zu diesem Zweck kann wie bei dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel auf der Tragplatte 2 eine zusätzliche Heizplatte 14 angeordnet sein, auf der die Vorratsbehälter 3 für die Farben aufstehen.In order to be able to mix and fill even highly viscous or even pasty colors with a device designed in this way, the support plate 2 is designed to be heatable. For this purpose, as in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, an additional heating plate 14 can be arranged on the support plate 2, on which the storage containers 3 for the colors stand.

Eine solchermaßen ausgestaltete Vorrichtung zum Mischen und Abfüllen von Farben zeichnet sich somit dadurch aus, daß zum Homogenisieren der in den Vorratsbehältern 3 befindlichen Farben nur ein einziger Rührwerksmotor 9 erforderlich ist, der über das Verfahren der Vorratsbehälter 3 durch die drehbare Tragplatte 2 hin zu dem den Rührwerksmotor 9 tragenden Tragarm 10 an eine jede Rührwelle 7 eines Vorratsbehälters 3 ankoppelbar ist. Zu diesem Zweck ist der Rührwerksmotor 9 an den Tragarm 10 horizontal und zum Ankoppeln an die Rührwelle 7 vertikal verfahrbar. Durch die Auslegung der Tragplatte 2 als beheizbare Tragplatte 2 können darüber hinaus mit einer solchermaßen ausgestalteten Vorrichtung auch hochviskose und pastöse Farben verarbeitet werden.Such a device for mixing and filling colors is thus characterized in that only a single agitator motor 9 is required to homogenize the colors in the storage containers 3, which via the method of the storage container 3 through the rotatable support plate 2 to the Agitator motor 9 supporting arm 10 can be coupled to each agitator shaft 7 of a storage container 3. For this purpose, the agitator motor 9 can be moved horizontally on the support arm 10 and vertically for coupling to the agitator shaft 7. By designing the support plate 2 as a heatable support plate 2, highly viscous and pasty colors can also be processed with a device designed in this way.
