[0002] Rust removal and painting are crucial aspects of ship maintenance, with the quality of both directly impacting the ship's lifespan and safety. However, in practice, rust removal and painting are two distinct processes. Rust removal primarily aims to remove rust from the hull surface, while painting focuses on protecting the hull and enhancing its appearance. These two processes differ in their workflow, material selection, and application methods, making integrated design difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the technical challenge of integrating rust removal and painting into a single design, this invention provides an integrated rust removal and painting spray gun and its usage method. By placing the airflow regulating pipe inside the cavity of the main body and the paint spraying pipe inside the cavity of the airflow regulating pipe, an integrated rust removal and painting design is achieved. It has three functions: rust removal, air spraying, and painting. It can be used in combination or individually, greatly improving the flexibility and selectivity of the device, and is particularly suitable for the complex ship cleaning work currently being carried out.

[0004] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned technical objectives through the following technical means.

[0005] A rust removal and painting integrated spray gun, characterized in that it includes a main body, a nozzle, an airflow regulating pipe and a paint spraying pipe;

[0006] The main body has a hollow internal structure, the outlet end of the main body has an open structure, the inlet end of the main body has a first through hole connecting the inner cavity of the pipe to the atmosphere, and the bottom of the main body has a third through hole connecting the inner cavity of the pipe to the liquid inlet pipe.

[0007] The nozzle is disposed at the outlet end of the main body, and a second through hole is provided on the nozzle opposite to the first through hole;

[0008] The airflow regulating pipe penetrates the cavity of the main body. The outlet end of the airflow regulating pipe is located in the second through hole, and the inlet end of the airflow regulating pipe passes through the first through hole and extends to the outside of the main body. The outer diameter of the airflow regulating pipe is the same as the inner diameter of the first through hole and smaller than the inner diameter of the second through hole. The airflow regulating pipe has a cavity structure inside. The inlet end and outlet end of the airflow regulating pipe are respectively provided with a fourth through hole and a fifth through hole. The airflow regulating pipe has an air inlet for air to enter the cavity of the airflow regulating pipe and an air outlet connecting the cavity of the airflow regulating pipe with the cavity of the main body. The airflow regulating pipe has a T-shaped groove. The bottom of the T-shaped groove connects to the cavity of the airflow regulating pipe. A baffle plate and a guide block fixed to the bottom of the baffle plate are slidably arranged in the T-shaped groove. The guide block passes through the T-shaped groove and extends into the cavity of the airflow regulating pipe. One end of the baffle plate is fixed to the airflow regulating pipe by a spring. Pushing the guide block in the jet direction can drive the baffle plate to block the air outlet. When the thrust disappears, the baffle plate resets under the action of the spring.

[0009] The paint spray pipe passes through the cavity of the airflow regulating pipe. The outlet end of the paint spray pipe is located in the fifth through hole, and the inlet end of the paint spray pipe passes through the fourth through hole and extends to the outside of the airflow regulating pipe. The inside of the paint spray pipe is a cavity structure, and the inlet end and outlet end of the paint spray pipe are respectively provided with a sixth through hole and a seventh through hole. The paint spray pipe is composed of a large diameter section, a variable diameter section and a small diameter section in sequence along the spray direction. The outer diameter of the large diameter section is the same as the inner diameter of the fourth through hole, and the outer diameter of the small diameter section is the same as the inner diameter of the fifth through hole. The guide block on the baffle plate falls exactly on the variable diameter section of the paint spray pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a paint bucket and a high-pressure pump for supplying topcoat to the spray nozzle, an ice pellet storage tank and a pneumatic pump for delivering high-pressure ice pellet jets to the liquid inlet pipe, and a high-pressure gas cylinder connected to the air inlet pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, the gas inside the high-pressure gas tank is helium, and the gas temperature is 60℃~80℃.

[0012] Furthermore, a variable diameter sleeve is fitted onto the outlet end of the airflow regulating pipe. The outer diameter of the variable diameter sleeve gradually increases along the spraying direction, and an eighth through hole with an inner diameter consistent with the outer diameter of the paint spray pipe is opened on the variable diameter sleeve.

[0013] Furthermore, the maximum outer diameter range of the variable diameter sleeve is 0.1 to 2 mm.

[0014] Furthermore, the first through hole and the airflow regulating pipe, the fourth through hole and the paint spraying pipe, and the fifth through hole and the paint spraying pipe are all threaded connections.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner wall of the main body is provided with a first fixing block for fixing the airflow regulating pipe, and the airflow regulating pipe is connected to the first fixing block by a thread; the inner wall of the airflow regulating pipe is provided with a second fixing block for fixing the paint spraying pipe, and the paint spraying pipe is connected to the second fixing block by a thread.

[0016] Furthermore, the axial length of the baffle plate is greater than the axial length of the air outlet.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer wall surface of the baffle plate is coated with an Al2O3 coating to improve the lubrication effect.

[0018] The method of using the rust removal and painting integrated spray gun described in any of the above-mentioned items includes the following steps:

[0019] S1: Rust removal:

[0020] S1.1: A variable diameter sleeve is fitted onto the outlet end of the airflow regulating pipe, and the size of the variable diameter sleeve is selected according to the actual situation;

[0021] S1.2: Continue pushing the paint spray tube into the airflow regulating tube until it can no longer be pushed in. At this time, the baffle plate blocks the air outlet under the push of the variable diameter section of the paint spray tube.

[0022] S1.3: Connect the liquid inlet pipe to the air pump, start the air pump, and the ice jet in the ice storage tank enters the main cavity along the liquid inlet pipe and is ejected from the annular surface between the second through hole and the variable diameter sleeve to start the rust removal work.

[0023] S2: Drying:

[0024] S2.1: Turn off the air pump and liquid inlet pipe, twist the paint spray tube outward, and the baffle plate will reset under the action of the spring, exposing the air outlet;

[0025] S2.2: Connect the high-pressure gas tank and the airflow regulating pipe, and start delivering high-pressure hot air into the airflow regulating pipe. The high-pressure hot air is ejected from the annular surface between the second through hole and the variable diameter sleeve and blown toward the area to be dried on the ship.

[0026] S3: Spray painting: The paint bucket, high-pressure pump and spray pipe are connected in sequence. The topcoat is sprayed out from the seventh through hole along the spray pipe and directed toward the area to be painted.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0028] 1. This invention achieves an integrated rust removal and painting design by placing the airflow regulating pipe inside the ice particle jet channel and the paint spraying pipe inside the airflow regulating pipe. The integrated rust removal and painting spray gun can not only perform drying and painting treatments sequentially after rust removal, but also has the function of each of the three working independently. Compared with traditional spray guns, its flexibility and selectivity are greatly improved, and it has high industrial value.

[0029] 2. The paint spray pipe in this invention has a "thick at the front and thin at the back" structure. This slope design not only provides propulsion power for the guide block on the baffle plate, but also increases the flow rate and dynamic pressure of the sprayed paint, while improving the stability of paint spraying.

[0030] 3. This invention uses high-temperature and high-pressure gas to dry the rust-removed ship wall surface, which not only improves the adhesion of subsequent paint to the ship wall surface, but also prevents cold crystallization at the spray nozzle. At the same time, the residual temperature in the airflow regulating pipe after drying can preheat the paint in the paint spraying pipe, improve the fluidity of the paint, and enhance the painting effect.
