Description

[Detailed description of the invention] coating of goods Technical field This invention provides a method for applying a strip of coating material around the surface of an article to coat the article. relating to a method and apparatus for coating an article, the article being curved (e.g. circular) in section; a surface, and the strip extends at a predetermined longitudinal position of the article. It has a predetermined width.

The invention is particularly, although not exclusively, suitable for use in packaging, e.g. Used for painting containers made of hollow rigid or semi-rigid plastic material. The coating is then made of a material that improves the barrier properties of the container.

In Kogawara, this term ``barrier property'' means that air or other gases, microscopic It includes the ability to resist the invasion of living organisms or microbial spores, etc. The purpose of this container is generally to oxidize or to sufficient to give the product the desired shelf life against biological deterioration. It is important to protect yourself during the period. This term ``barrier property'' also refers to charcoal, for example. Ability to pressurize various products such as oxidized brewed beverages to a level higher than the ambient pressure and fill them into containers. or packaging foods and beverages under antibacterial (sterilizing) conditions that create significant internal pressure. or (in the latter case) the sterility of the contents It also means the ability to avoid exposure to contamination from the outside atmosphere.

The coating material applied by the method or apparatus of the invention may also be coated with other, e.g. It can serve decorative purposes by providing a colored opaque or transparent surface. You can also have

Background technology The applicant's currently pending UK Patent Application No. 8,614,527 describes the flow of liquid coating materials. towards the back side of the "carpet plate", thereby causing this liquid coating material to is pushed out onto the back side of the plate and spreads over the object to be coated from the bottom edge of the plate like a curtain. For example, polysalts may fall into hollow plastic containers or other items. A method of applying vinylidene chloride (PVdC) barrier coatings is described. this is Although it is an effective method for coating most of the exterior surface of an article, it is generally The upper part of the article above the top level that is in contact with the tensile flow is left uncoated. That's what happens.

i.e. if, for example, it is necessary to coat all the external surfaces of the article - apply the coating material There is a need for a reliable method to do this. Generally, coating materials are used inside hollow articles. Such a method should not be coated on the side to contaminate it. Apply only as much paint material as required (but in sufficient quantity) to the surface. It is necessary to apply the coating material precisely in place and to make sure that it is remain in the designated location, but not in any other location than the desired location. It must be possible to paint in a suitable manner.

Known coating methods such as spray coating, powder coating and cast coating are not suitable for this purpose. Accuracy is too lacking. Also, known printing techniques are generally not suitable; This is because the coating material, like printing ink, is more viscous and difficult to handle. Ru. In particular, if coating material accumulates on any part of the equipment, any amount of paint may be present there. It is desirable to minimize the chances of the product remaining for a long period of time. , because in such cases this can solidify and create solids that are difficult to remove. Because it's cheating.

Known coating materials suitable for the practice of the present invention include aqueous synthetic compounds (generally available commercially). latex) or solvent-based formulations. defensive properties Typical compositions of improving coating materials include the aforementioned PVdC and hyethylene-vinyl alcohol. Coal (EvOI) is a two-based synthetic resin.

Disclosure of invention The first aspect of the present invention is to move around the coated surface of an article having a curved cross section in the longitudinal direction of the article. the application of a strip of paint substance of a defined width at a defined location Regarding the process, this method covers the following process steps: While moving the coating layer delivery surface along the first path, the liquid coating material is applied onto this surface. A predetermined amount of coating material is loaded onto this delivery surface by directing the flow of Rotate the object so that the entire surface to be coated is on the above coating layer delivery surface. While facing the coating surface, move the coated surface along the second path to the coating layer delivery surface. contact with, and Each process step in which the strip of coating material thus loaded is dried. It is.

The article is hollow and has side walls terminating in an open end, thereby allowing the coating material to In cases where the upper limit of the band is to be defined, this method preferably covers the open end of the article. Transfer the coating layer to the surface to be coated so that there is no overhang on the coating layer transfer surface. It includes mutually orienting and facing the surfaces.

In addition, this method requires that the coating material be The surface to be coated is brought into engagement with the coating layer delivery surface within 91 contact lines across the entire width of the coating strip. The method may further include the step of tilting the article.

The coating layer delivery member is preferably in the form of an endless belt and according to the invention The method is such that when this belt is in contact with the article, the article in the first passage and the second fastener are belt in a fixed path, while maintaining a constant distance between both paths. It is important to maintain a constant state of exercise.

Alternatively, the coating layer transfer surface may be a fixed shaft located on an endless belt. The eagle may be formed around the outer circumference of a rotatable wheel. . In this case, the method according to the invention provides that immediately before bringing the article into contact with the coating layer transfer surface, The movement of the article is stopped within the first passage, and the vehicle and article are brought into contact with each other. Rotate both the vehicle and the item while they are held in contact. and the addition of separating it from the car after the item has been painted thereby. process steps.

After the method according to the invention has been used to apply the strip of coating material ( (or before that) the rest of the surface to be coated is painted with the same or a different coating material. applied at a first painting station, and then the article No. 8614527, the second coating is applied by the curtain coating technique described in No. 8614527. It may also be sent to a loading station. In this case, the paint liquid curtain is Paint both of them so that they meet the article just above the bottom edge of the article. There may be a slight overlap between the areas. Next, paint both of them. When dried (cured), the appearance is one continuous coating.

In a second aspect of the present invention, a strip of coating material is prepared by the method according to the present invention as described above. Regarding the equipment for application, this Carry the item toward and away from the painting station, and An article transport means for supporting the article at the painting station and an article conveying means for supporting the article at the painting station. an article rotating means for rotating the article in the application;

supported by rotatable coating layer transfer member support means at each coating station; a coating film layer delivery member for rotating the coating film layer delivery member and the coating film layer delivery member support means; Membrane layer delivery member rotation means; Directs the flow of liquid coating material toward a coating layer transfer surface located away from the article path. means for directing the A dryer is installed downstream of the above painting station to dry the strip of paint material. drying means and It's okay.

When the coating layer delivery member is an endless belt, the coating layer delivery member support means described above must have at least two or more belt pulleys and in that case The conveying means moves past the substantially straight article retaining path of the belt in continuous forward motion; and is arranged in such a manner that the article is conveyed in rotational contact therewith. The above One of the rays is connected to means for rotating the coating layer. In this case, the other axis is translatable laterally under the control of elastic tensioning means, whereby It may be attached so as to create sufficient tension in the article holding path.

In the case of a paint layer delivery surface around the outer circumference of a car component (as described above), the paint layer delivery portion The material is preferably in the shape of a tire, and the coating layer delivery member support means is preferably a tire. a paint film layer delivery member driving means mounted so as to rotate around a fixed axis; A combined vehicle, vehicle and parts transport means transports the articles to the painting station. The article contacts the coating layer delivery surface of the tire without tilting and moving it forward. It is designed to be held in place for a specified period of time while touching it. (Which often depends on the shape of the article being painted) Possible coating layer delivery member support means rotate in a plane inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. It can be provided as follows. In this case, preferably the article on the coating layer delivery surface (i.e., the article retention path of the coating layer transfer belt) is on the upper side, and The part of the coating layer transfer surface where the coating material is applied is on the lower side, and there is no excess material on the lower side. This prevents the coating material from being carried away by the coating layer transfer surface or the equipment free from this part without contaminating it in any way at the painting station. It is good that it can be dropped.

For the purpose of tilting the article itself, this device is also installed in the direction of the second path of the coating station. upstream of the direction to tilt the article so that the central axis of the article is generally vertical. Directly toward the coating layer delivery surface at an angle less than 90° to the vertical direction. or tilted away from it so that the surface to be coated is of the strip to be painted. Rotate it so that it engages the coating layer transfer surface in a line of contact over its entire width. a tilting means, and means for maintaining said tilting at least at said coating station; may further include.

The coating layer delivery member conforms to any changes in the contour of the area to be coated on the surface to be coated. enough so that the entire strip of paint can come into contact with the above part. It can have good elasticity.

It is also possible by the method according to the invention.

Other means used in this second station are cast coating or direct spray coating. It includes various known methods such as mounting.

It should be noted that the bottle holding member 2 can be of any suitable shape. be. 6 The bottles are secured by their retaining members throughout the entire path that they pass through this machine. are held and these bottles are aligned on their respective axes as indicated by arrows U in FIG. This painting station is provided with means for rotating it around 32. Ru. Preferably, this rotation causes the bottle holding member 2 to be rotated by a rigid member suspended from the chain 3. This is done by providing the bracket 34 so that it can freely rotate. The retaining member engages a fixed rail 38 (shown only in FIGS. 2 and 3). It has a peripheral rubber drive ring 36.

At this painting station, there are two mountings fixed to the main frame of the machine on plate 8. A bearing block 40.42 is installed, and a pair of pulleys are installed in it. Shafts 44, 46 are each provided for complete rotation on a vertical axis. ing. A belt pulley 5 is attached to the lower end of the shaft 44, and A belt pulley 6 is attached to the shaft 46. of shaft 44 A pulley 10 is provided at the upper end, which is connected to the coating layer via a drive belt 11. It is driven by a separate pulley connected to the drive motor 9 of the belt for the delivery means. be moved.

The coating film layer delivery means belt 4 extends around the belt pulleys 5 and 6, and Then, a straight working path or a has a painted path 48. The opposite traveling path of the belt 4, indicated by 50, is a liquid coating material. Direct the flow of the material (supplied from a source not shown) to the outer surface of the belt 4 or to the coating. It has a nozzle 12 provided so as to be directed toward a membrane layer delivery surface 52.

The coating layer delivery belt 4 must be kept under appropriate tension; It is possible to use any suitable tensioning means for the purpose. 1st and In the one shown in FIG. 3, one end of the thrust block 56 is attached to the plate 8. It consists of a pair of compression springs 54 supported by. The other ends of these springs 54 are It engages with the bearing block 42, and this bearing block is attached to the plate 8. It is mounted in an elongate shaft 58 in the middle and swings its axis in the lateral direction under the control of the springs 54. It is now possible to translate.

Behind the belt working path 48 there is a positive control for engaging the belt 4 with the six bottles 2. A rear support device 60 may be provided to provide a lateral reaction force. . In this example, the device 60 includes a set of self-rotating rollers 64 to rotate the belt 4. A frame 6, which is pushed towards the 2, the elastic member may be a mechanical spring or The pressure applied can also be controlled to vary by this device 60. It may also be a hydraulic device that is capable of controlling the force exerted by the pump.

The coating layer transfer belt 4 can take any convenient shape. this thing must have sufficient strength to resist the various forces encountered in practical use; And for that reason, it is typical that the paint material does not penetrate as shown in Figure 7. is an elastic outer layer mounted on a durable backing layer 72, such as drive belt material. It can be a laminate with layer 70. This outer layer 70 is designated as 74 in FIG. As shown in the figure, it is possible to adjust the shape for significant changes in the contour of the article 97 being painted. It is flexible enough to allow Is this belt a laminated structure? Regardless of the nature of the coating, the outer coating layer delivery surface 52 of the drive belt is coated with a uniform film of coating material. Although the material is of a fabric that can hold The material must not be absorbent (if not, the material may dry). (This will cause the belt to get stuck and harden when worn).

During operation, the chain 3 is moved forward at a constant speed to move the 6 bottles 1 along the conveyance path shown in Figure 3. VK? E and drive it at a constant speed along the parallel path shown by arrow W. contact with the coating layer transfer surface. The bottles 1 are kept at a certain level by the rail 38. kept in rotation. Nozzle 12 delivers a continuous flow of liquid coating material 76. The excess amount of coating material is indicated at 78 in FIG. The N This is recovered for recycling.

The belt 4 delivers the coating material to the surface 30 of the bottle, thereby depositing the coating material onto this surface. A strip of material 80 is painted, which is then dried and cured in a curing oven.

The coating layer delivery surface 52 has the maximum Receive painting materials up to quantity. The weight of the coating material delivered to the bottle is e.g. An adjustable doctor blade 82 may be provided in conjunction with the belt 4 as shown. It can be determined in advance by

FIG. 4 shows a conical synthetic resin pot 21, which is integral at its open end. surrounded by a flange 22. This pot 21 is The box may be of an extendable type that bites into place by rubbing. It is held by a holding member 84. However, this pot holding member It may be of any suitable type. This thing is free inside the bracket 34 can be rotated and also keep this pot 21 on its own axis 86. Instead, it has suitable means, such as a drive cylinder 36, for rotating it. Ru. Each pulley of the drive belt 4 rotates in a plane inclined at an angle A with respect to the horizontal plane. The angle is determined by the pot 21. half the cone angle, so that the tangential direction to the outer surface of this pot The contact surface between the outer coated surface of the bottle and the coating layer transfer surface 52 of the belt is itself water-resistant. It is inclined to the flat surface. In this way, the belt has the same width as this belt. coating a band 80 of paint extending downward from the upper end of the outer surface of the pot; become.

In FIG. 5, the same angular relationship exists between the pot 21 and the belt 4. However, in this case the belt is horizontal as in Figures 1 to 3. The axis 86 of the pot is tilted so that the surface of the pot to be coated is the entire width of the painted band. Coating layer transfer within one contact line 90 across (i.e. across the width of strip 80) It is oriented so as to engage with the surface 52. This pot is in contact with belt 4 It is tilted before entering. One way to achieve such an inclination is shown in Figure 6. is shown in FIG. 3, and this is a driven A fixed rail 92 engages a roller 94. This rail 92 has this Extending from a certain point upstream of the coating station so as to tilt the container 96 in FIG. Then, continue past this paint station and apply this paint to the slope of the container. at the loading station and further beyond if necessary. The sea urchin is turning.

Figures 5 and 6 show that the pots 2 and 1 are tilted toward the belt 4 in the former case. In contrast, in Fig. 6, the container 96 is in the opposite direction. They differ from each other in that they are tilted in the opposite direction. The direction of this inclination is the same as that of the fixed rail 92. It is determined by an appropriate arrangement with the driven roller 94. The magnitude of this slope is always The angle of inclination of the surface to be coated is 90° toward or away from the coating layer delivery surface. It's so big that Yoshi is also small.

In FIG. 6, container 96 is of a similar type to retaining member 84 in FIGS. 4 and 5. A hollow simple circle held by a holding member 98 such that it can be Shown as a cylindrical container. The axis ioo of this container 96 and the illustrated pulley 6 The axis 102 of a belt pulley like this exists in two parallel planes, and in this case , they are both inclined with respect to the horizontal plane.

The upper edge 104 of the side wall surrounding the open end of this container 96 is also coated with the belt 4. Defining the upper limit of the band 80 of spread coating material and between the upper and lower edges of the belt 4 It comes into contact with the coating layer transfer surface 52 at an intermediate point.

Tilt the container and tilt the belt away from the container. coating material enters the interior of the container through the exposed portion of surface 52 above top edge 104. Any chance of sinking is at least reduced.

Figure 8 shows that the bottle is tilted in the same manner as was done for Bot. 21 in Figure 4. In particular, the neck 15 of the synthetic resin bottle having the inverted conical flange 16 is attached to the belt 4. (The belt 4 is arranged horizontally). Figure 7 is At another position on the route 4, the flange 16 is located entirely below the coated surface and has an acute angle. An imaginary line indicates the case where the slope is in degrees.

In all the specific examples explained above, the coating layer delivery surface 52 of the belt 4 is small. Tomoko's belt 4 (even if it is elastically compressible as shown in Figure 7) When the coating layer is not deformed by contact with the article to be coated, 5 and 60 are recognized to be parallel to the plane containing the axis of rotation. Probably. However, the belt 4 may be of any desired cross-sectional shape. .

゛Referring to Figs. 9 and 10, the container 96 is attached to the holding member 98. 10, although this retaining member is shown extended in FIG. It is represented in the form of an internal chuck. In this example, the container 96 and the holding member The axis of 98 is vertical. For the transfer surface of the coating layer provided on the endless belt. In Figures 9 and 1O, this surface 24 is a tie mounted on a car member 26. On the outer surface of the wheel 25, this wheel member is provided with a belt drive means around a fixed rotating shaft 27. Rotated by 1.0, 11.10. Nozzle 12 transfers coating material 76 to container 96 supply the tire at a point away from the forward path X and rotate in the direction of arrow 2 The rolling car member 26 delivers the strip 8o of coating material to the container and paints it.

In operation, chain 3 is indexed to the painting station and This is stopped just before reaching fully aligned contact with the tire 25. Next to the container 96 by any suitable means (such as a wheel 28 engaging the drive ring 36). , and the wheel member 26 is also rotated. Next, the rotating container 96 along the path XK under close control, e.g. by a suitable optical sensor device. By further moving it, it touches the tire for final alignment, and then the paint is applied. A band 80 is formed. Next, the container.

After separating it from the car 26, its rotation is stopped.

Controls the feed movement and controls the chain 3 and each element conveyed by it. Any suitable indexing system may be used to control residence time. . The thickness of the coating material in the coating strip 80 depends on the residence time at this coating station. is controlled by setting it to a predetermined value.

Articles to be painted in each of the examples described with reference to Figures 6.9 and 10 is shown as an open-ended container (for illustration purposes) and is painted up to the top of the side wall of this container. This figure shows the case where it is installed. In either case, the coating extends beyond its open edges. It can be seen that there is no overhang of the layer transfer surfaces 52 or 24. There will be. This means that the coating material may be applied externally to the interior of a hollow article. It is important as a general principle to prevent invasion. (This in the case of Figure 6 The facilitation of effects has already been discussed).

In all the specific examples explained above, the remaining part of the surface to be painted, that is, the band of paint The outer sidewall surface of the article below 80 is coated with the second coating step described earlier in the text. - coated with a coating material of the same composition as the coating agent strip 80 and then applied. By the time the coating material has hardened, the entire surface will be covered with a uniform, continuous coating. It is also possible to do so.

For example, when using a coating material such as water-based polyvinylidene chloride latex, The painting station is preferably (but not necessarily) equipped with suitable packaging. installed inside the enclosure to adjust the humidity of the atmosphere inside the enclosure, and to measures to reduce the loss of water by evaporation from the latex. It is good that it is provided.

For example, rotating the article to be coated by external means such as a rail/l/38 or a wheel 28 Rotation may be unnecessary in some cases, and rotation may instead keep everything connected to the article being coated. It is also possible to generate the friction by free rotation between the film layer and the transfer surface. be.

industrial applications The present invention provides a method for accurately applying a strip of coating material when painting a variety of articles with curved cross-sections. It can be applied to any industrial process that can be carried out. one special An example is the production of packaging containers of plastic material by high speed machines such as those already described. This is the case when painting.

Another industrial application of the invention is the industrial manufacture of the device according to the invention.
