Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to coating production, and more specifically, to an automotive coating production system. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive paint is a mixture that can firmly cover the surface of an object, serving protective, decorative, marking, and other special purposes. Early paints were mostly made primarily of vegetable oils, hence the name "oil paint," such as the healthy, environmentally friendly, and natural tung oil. Whether traditional paints made from natural substances or modern paints made from synthetic chemicals, they all belong to organic chemical polymer materials, and the resulting coating film is a type of polymer compound. According to the modern classification of chemical products, paints belong to fine chemical products. Essentially, paint production involves dispersing solid pigment particles and filler particles into a resin solution using external force, forming a uniform, finely dispersed suspension.
[0003] The existing automotive coating production process consists of the following steps: premixing, grinding, paint mixing, filtration, and packaging. Premixing involves initially mixing pigments, fillers, some resins, and solvents to form a slurry. Grinding involves grinding the slurry to the required fineness to ensure uniform dispersion. Paint mixing involves mixing the ground slurry with the remaining resins, solvents, additives, etc., to adjust the final properties of the coating. Filtration is used to remove impurities and undispersed particles from the coating to ensure its purity and quality.
[0004] The existing automotive coatings production process has the following shortcomings:
[0005] (1) The processes are basically intermittent, and a continuous production line has not been formed, which is not conducive to industrial production.
[0006] (2) The particle size of pigments and fillers is in the micrometer range. The small particle size makes it easy for pigment particles and filler particles to aggregate, which leads to poor stability and uniformity of the coating during the coating production process. Utility Model Content

[0029] An automotive coating production system includes, in sequence, a premixing system 1, a grinding system 2, a paint mixing system 3, and a filtration system 4. The premixing system 1 is connected to a premixed material discharge pipe 5, which is connected to the inlet of the grinding system 2. The grinding system 2 is connected to a fine slurry discharge pipe 6, which is connected to the first paint mixing inlet 31 of the paint mixing system 3. The paint mixing system 3 is connected to a paint mixing discharge pipe 7, which is connected to the inlet of the filtration system 4. The premixing system 1 is also connected to a premixed pigment inlet pipe 11, a premixed filler inlet pipe 12, a premixed resin inlet pipe 13, and a premixed solvent inlet pipe 14. The premixed pigment inlet pipe 11 is connected to a first tubular screw conveyor, and the premixed filler inlet pipe 12 is connected to a second tubular screw conveyor. The paint mixing system 3 is also connected to a paint mixing resin inlet pipe 32 and a paint mixing solvent inlet pipe 33.
[0030] Each of the premixed resin feed pipe 13, the premixed solvent feed pipe 14, the paint mixing resin feed pipe 32, and the paint mixing solvent feed pipe 33 is equipped with a gear pump, and each of the premixed material discharge pipe 5, the fine grinding slurry discharge pipe 6, and the paint mixing discharge pipe 7 is equipped with a slurry pump.
[0031] During production, the first and second tubular screw conveyors each feed pigments and fillers into the premixing system 1. The premixed resin feed pipe 13 and premixed solvent feed pipe 14 respectively feed resin and solvent into the premixing system 1, mixing simultaneously. When the slurry mixed in the premixing system 1 meets the requirements, the valve on the premixed material discharge pipe 5 opens, and the slurry pump on the premixed material discharge pipe 5 delivers the slurry to the grinding system 2. When the slurry ground in the grinding system 2 meets the requirements, the valve on the fine slurry discharge pipe 6 opens, and the slurry pump on the fine slurry discharge pipe 6 delivers the slurry to the paint mixing system 3. When the slurry mixed in the paint mixing system 3 meets the requirements, the valve on the paint mixing discharge pipe 7 opens, and the slurry pump on the paint mixing discharge pipe 7 delivers the slurry to the filtration system 4. The filtered paint product from the filtration system 4 enters the product tank and then undergoes subsequent processes such as packaging. The entire process can achieve continuous production.
[0032] If additives are required during production, they enter through the premixed solvent feed pipe 14 or the paint solvent feed pipe 33.
[0033] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, the grinding system 2 is a ball mill.
[0034] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, the filtration system 4 is a filter tank, and the filter tank is filled with a screen.
[0035] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, in order to reduce pigment particle aggregation, and considering the characteristics of pigment particles (strong electrostatic adsorption), the screw conveying mechanism 15 of the first tubular screw conveyor is made of metal. This screw conveying mechanism 15 is mounted on the ground via several metal supports 151, with thin metal rods 152 equidistantly arranged between adjacent metal supports 151. The metal supports 151 and the thin metal rods 152 eliminate static electricity generated during the conveying process, thus preventing the aggregation of pigment particles.
[0036] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, in order to reduce the aggregation of packing and to disperse the aggregated packing, a gravity feeding device 16 is provided between the second tubular screw conveyor and the premixed packing feed pipe 12, taking into account the characteristics of the packing. The gravity feeding device 16 includes a box 161 and a dispersing and agglomerating component 163. The box 161 forms a cavity 162. A chute 164 is connected to the middle of the bottom of the box 161. The dispersing and agglomerating component 163 includes a dispersing and agglomerating shaft 1631. Several dispersing and agglomerating rods 1632 are installed from top to bottom on the dispersing and agglomerating shaft 1631 near the inlet of the chute 164. A handle 1633 is connected to the other end of the dispersing and agglomerating shaft 1631. The handle 1633 is located above the box 161. The discharge pipe of the second tubular screw conveyor enters the cavity 162 from the top of the box 161. The lower end of the chute 164 is connected to the premixed packing feed pipe 12. The packing material from the discharge pipe of the second tubular screw conveyor falls into the cavity 162 under the action of gravity. After falling, it also falls into the premixed packing feed pipe 12 through the chute 164 under the action of gravity. When it is not necessary to disperse the material, the handle 1633 is placed on the bracket located at the top of the box 161. When it is necessary to disperse the material, the handle 1633 is removed from the bracket, the bracket is removed, and the dispersing and agglomerating shaft 1631 is rotated to disperse the agglomerated lumps.
[0037] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, in order to obtain a better dispersing effect, the length of the dispersing and agglomerating rod 1632 gradually shortens from top to bottom.
[0038] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, in order to prevent the dispersing and agglomerating shaft 1631 from shifting, the gravity feeding device 16 further includes a sleeve 165, which is installed in the cavity 162 and its upper end is connected to the inner wall of the top of the box 161. The dispersing and agglomerating shaft 1631 passes through the sleeve 165.
[0039] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, in order to detect the presence of caking in a timely manner, one side wall of the box 161 is made of a transparent material.
[0040] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, the premixing system 1 is a premixing tank, and the premixing tank is equipped with a premixing stirrer 17.
[0041] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, the paint mixing system 3 is a paint mixing tank, which is equipped with a paint mixing agitator 34. The fine slurry discharge pipe 6 passes through the first paint inlet 31 and enters the inner cavity of the paint mixing tank. The fine slurry discharge pipe 6 is located at the port of the inner cavity of the paint mixing tank near the stirring blade of the paint mixing agitator 34, and this port is at an angle. This allows the aggregated material coming out from the angled port to be dispersed.
[0042] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, in order to obtain a better homogenization effect, the fine slurry discharge pipe 6 is provided with uniformly distributed through holes on the pipe wall at the normal liquid level of the paint mixing tank. This allows the unaggregated fine slurry to enter the paint mixing tank through the through holes, and the aggregated slurry to fall downward from the inclined opening to the stirring blade of the paint mixing agitator 34, where the stirring blade rotates and disperses it.
[0043] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, the diameter of the through hole is 10 to 30 micrometers.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
