Abstract:
A paint spraying device for easily changing painting machines of different model types in accordance with spraying conditions, comprising a valve casing (1) having a color changing valve device (11), wherein the valve casing is adapted to act as a common member for allowing the selective mounting and/or dismounting of rotational spray head type electrostatic spraying machines (61, 71, 111), spray gun type electrostatic spraying machines (81, 101, 112) or the like, whereby it is possible to easily change and mount selected spraying machines (61, 71, 81, 101, 111, 112) in accordance with spraying conditions such as the configuration of a surface to be sprayed, type of paint and characteristics of a solvent. In addition, the color changing valve device (11) provided in the valve casing (1) can commonly be used for a plurality of types of spraying machines (61, 71, 81, 101, 111, 112).
Abstract:
A spray gun type electrostatic paint coating machine which is capable of improving quality of coated surfaces, the coating machine including an air nozzle (8) and a paint nozzle (21) respectively provided at the fore end of a spray gun body (6). The spray gun body (6) and the air nozzle (8) are made of an electrically insulating material, while the paint nozzle (21) is made of a metallic material including a paint spouting orifice (21C) which is projected on the front side through the air nozzle (8). The paint spouting orifice (21C) is connected to ground through a paint supply passage (10) to serve as a grounding electrode. Sprayed paint particles are at the earth potential, so that they are less susceptible to influences of dielectric polarization and negatively charged quickly by the high negative voltage of the external electrode. As a consequence, sprayed paint particles are prevented from depositing on the air nozzle (8) or other negatively charged surfaces and falling down in the form of discrete dot-like driblets to contaminate a coated surface.
