Abstract:
A spray gun type electrostatic painting apparatus capable of improving the quality of a painted surface. An air nozzle (8) and a paint nozzle (21) are provided at a front end portion of a spray gun body (6), and the spray gun body (6) and air nozzle (8) are formed out of an insulating resin material, the paint nozzle (21) being formed out of a metal material, a paint spray port (21C) being projected from the air nozzle (8). The paint spray port (21C) is connected to the earth via a paint supply passage (10) and used as an earth electrode. The paint particles which have just sprayed reduce the influence of dielectric polarization, and immediately come to have earth potential. These paint particles are charged negatively at once with a high negative voltage of an external electrode. This can prevent the deposition of the charged paint particles on a negatively charged portion, such as the air nozzle (8), and the fall of deposited paint which soils a painted surface.
Abstract:
A rotary spray head coater such that paint adhering to the edge of the outer circumferential surface (13H) of a bell cup (13) is removed completely. The bell cup (13) has a thinner passage (18) for communication of the outer circumferential surface (13H) with the paint reservoir (17) of the bell cup (13). Through the thinner passage (18), the thinner flowing out on the outer circumferential surface (13H) of the bell cup (13) is introduced to its discharge edge (13D). For the introduction, assist air jet outlets (30) through which assist air is jetted out are provided inside shaping air jet outlets (4) on the edge surface (3A) of a shaping air ring (3). Therefore, at the time of cleaning, the thinner flowing out on the outer circumferential surface (13H) is pressed against the outer circumferential surface (13H) of the bell cup (13) by the assist air and the shaping air and introduced to the end side of the bell cup (13) to remove the adhering paint.

Abstract:
A rotary atomizing head (1) which is easily disassembled into an atomizing head (2) and a hub member (5), cleaned, and reassembled. A ring engaging surface (4) is provided on the inner peripheral side of a hub-fit step portion (3) of the atomizing head body (2), and a ring mounting groove (8) is provided in the outer peripheral side of a cylindrical portion (7) of the hub member (5). The cylindrical portion (7) of the hub member (5) is fitted into the hub-fit step portion (3) with an O-ring (11) fitted in the ring mounting groove (8), whereby the hub member (5) can be elastically held on the atomizing head body (2) by the elastic force of the O-ring (11). The ring engaging surface (4) engages with the O-ring (11) to prevent the hub member (5) from coming off. The hub member (5) is axially pushed to elastically deform the O-ring (11), and it can be disassembled from the atomizing head body (2).
Abstract:
A rotary atomization head capable of reliably washing a paint deposited on the outer circumference of a bell cup. In a bell cup (11), there is formed a solvent passage (16) for providing communication between a paint sump (15) and the outer circumference (11H) of the bell cup (11). An annular guide (17) is formed on the outer circumference of the bell cup (11). At the time of washing a rotary atomization head (10), a thinner, as injected from a solvent feed nozzle (6), flows through the paint sump (15) and the solvent passage (16) into a solvent diffusion chamber (18) which is formed between the bell cup (11) and the expanded portion (17B) of the annular guide (17). The thinner diffuses all over the circumference of the bell cup (11) in the solvent diffusion chamber (18) and flows on the outer circumference (11H) of the bell cup (11) toward a discharge end edge (11D). As a result, the paint is washed off the outer circumference (11H) of the bell cup (11).
Abstract:
A rotary atomizing head type painting device for preventing adhesion of paint mist on a shaping air ring and a resin cover, wherein the shaping air ring (21) comprises an inner circumferential side ring (22) formed of a metallic material, an outer circumferential side ring (23) formed from an insulating resin material and an air injecting port (24) provided on the distal ends of these rings (22, 23), respectively, wherein the proximal end portion (22A) of the inner circumferential side ring (22) is electrically connected to an air motor (22), and wherein the distal end portion (22B) of the inner circumferential side ring (22) is constructed as an annular repulsion electrode (25). A strong positive electric discharge is generated by the annular repulsion electrode (25) so as to attract negative ionic clouds, and paint particles negatively electrified and the negtive ionic clouds, are like-pole inverted, whereby the adhesion of paint to the shaping air ring (21) to dirt is prevented.
Abstract:
In a rotary atomizing head type coating machine, paint mist is prevented from depositing on a shaping air ring and synthetic resin cover. Shaping air ring (21) is constituted by an inner ring (22) of a metallic material, an outer ring (23) of an insulating synthetic resin material, and a shaping air outlet hole (24) provided at the fore ends of the two rings (22) and (23). The inner ring (22) has its base end (22A) electrically connected to an air motor (2), and provides an annular repulsion electrode (25) at its fore end (22B). This annular repulsion electrode (25) induces strong positive discharges, thereby attracting clouds of negative ions, and preventing paint deposition on and contamination of the shaping air ring by a phenomenon of homopolar repulsions between clouds of negative ions and negatively charged paint particles.

Abstract:
A rotary atomizing head assembly employing a main body (2) and a hub member (5) which can be easily disassembled and reassembled whenever necessary. A ring engaging surface (4) is provided on the inner peripheral side of a recessed hub socket (3) on the main body (2), while a ring fitting groove (8) is provided on the outer peripheral side of a cylindrical body portion (7) of the hub member (5). With an O-ring (11) set in the ring fitting groove (8), the cylindrical body portion (7) of the hub member (5) is fitted into the recessed hub socket (3), whereupon the hub member (5) is resiliently retained on the main body (2) of the rotary atomizing head by resilient retaining force of the O-ring (11). In this instance, the O-ring (11) is pressed against the ring engaging surface (4) to prevent dislocation of the hub member (5). On the other hand, the hub member (5) can be disassembled from the main body (2) by pulling the hub member (5) in the axial direction to such a degree as to cause elastic deformation to the O-ring (11).
