Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spraying device technology, and in particular to an environmentally friendly handheld light tube end color ribbon spraying device. Background Technology
[0002] In oil jacket steel pipe manufacturing enterprises, due to standards and customer requirements, it is necessary to spray or brush the pipe ends of the finished pipes with color strips corresponding to the steel grade. Some large enterprises also require the pipe ends of the finished pipes to be brushed with color strips after heat treatment or rolling of the finished pipes, in order to facilitate the next threading process and to distinguish them from the finished products.
[0003] Since the ribbon coating at the tube ends of fluorescent tubes is an intermediate process, using dedicated ribbon coating equipment would be costly and require repositioning and reorganizing existing equipment on the production floor, resulting in significant cost waste. Furthermore, this would leave the equipment idle during the production of other fluorescent tubes not intended for external sale or products that do not require ribbon coating at the tube ends. Therefore, most companies use manual brushing to coat the ribbon at the tube ends of fluorescent tubes.
[0004] The following problems exist with manual application of paint ribbon: ① Uneven application, with inconsistent width and uniformity of the ribbon, affecting the appearance of the fluorescent tubes; ② The paint applied manually is thick and does not dry easily, and when the steel pipes are rolled downwards side by side, they rub against each other, resulting in excessive paint on the ends of the pipes and the loss of the applied ribbon effect; ③ Manual application requires holding the steel pipes, posing a significant safety hazard; ④ Excess paint drips onto the ground, causing environmental pollution; ⑤ Uneven application and dripping paint result in waste of materials. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an environmentally friendly handheld tube end color ribbon spraying device, which aims to solve the problems existing in the prior art of tube end color ribbon spraying for oil casing tubes, so as to improve the efficiency and quality of tube end color ribbon brushing.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: an environmentally friendly handheld ribbon spraying device for light tubes, comprising an open-end spraying mold, which includes a flexible stainless steel open-end mold for spraying ribbon, wear-resistant nails, a bracket, a gusseted protective cloth, a paint return tube, and a bracket base. The bracket base is hinged to the bracket, and the bracket is hinged to the flexible stainless steel open-end mold. The bracket is surrounded by an elastic gusseted protective cloth, and multiple wear-resistant nails are fixed to the bottom of the mold to maintain a constant distance between the mold and the steel tube.
[0007] The painting device includes a compressed air inlet pipe providing power, a pressure regulating valve for adjusting air pressure, a trigger, an air volume regulating valve, a switch valve, a nozzle, a paint supply pipe, a paint storage tank, and a paint return inlet. The nozzle is connected to a support base.
[0008] Preferably, the nozzle and the bracket seat are threadedly detachably connected.
[0009] Preferably, the soft elastic stainless steel opening mold has a rectangular opening, a guide groove is provided around the edge of the rectangular opening, and wear-resistant nails with a spacing of 10mm and a height of 10mm are provided on the soft elastic stainless steel opening mold.
[0010] Preferably, a nozzle is fixedly installed on the paint storage tank, the nozzle is connected to the paint storage tank through a paint supply pipe, and a return paint inlet is connected to one side of the paint storage tank.
[0011] Preferably, a switching valve is installed inside the nozzle, and a trigger for controlling the switching valve is movably connected to the outside of the nozzle.
[0012] Preferably, an air volume regulating valve is fixedly installed at the tail end of the nozzle, and an air inlet pipe is connected to the tail end of the nozzle, with a pressure regulating valve fixedly installed on the air inlet pipe.
[0013] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This utility model discloses an environmentally friendly handheld ribbon spraying device for steel pipes. During the ribbon spraying process, the entire spraying device, except for the paint outlet, is sealed to prevent paint spillage and protect the environment. Compressed air enters the device through the inlet pipe, and the pressure regulating valve adjusts the compressed air pressure to control the flow rate, thereby regulating the spraying volume. Manually pressing the normally closed handle switch releases the pressurized compressed air through the paint supply pipe above the paint tank, which is then sprayed out from the nozzle. Utilizing Bernoulli's principle—the higher the flow velocity, the lower the pressure—the pressure at the bottom of the paint supply pipe is lower than at the top. This pressure difference forces the paint from the storage tank to the top of the supply pipe, where compressed air carries the sprayed paint, atomizing it at the nozzle.
[0015] The bottom of the paint shield features a flexible stainless steel mold with a rectangular opening for spraying atomized paint. Guide channels are positioned around the edge of the rectangular opening to facilitate paint flow into the bottom of the mold. Wear-resistant pins, spaced 10mm apart and 10mm high, are installed at the top and bottom of the stainless steel mold to maintain a distance between the mold and the steel pipe, preventing the mold from rubbing against the painted pipe end. The four corners of the mold are hinged to a support frame and are surrounded by accordion-style protective fabric to prevent paint splatter. A backflow opening at the bottom of the mold connects to a paint return pipe, with the other end connected to an air tank, allowing excess paint to flow back into the air tank. Except for the paint to be applied to the steel pipe, all other paint is sealed and returned to the air tank, preventing environmental pollution. An adjustable right-angle positioning device is installed in the middle of the mold to ensure the correct distance between the mold and the pipe end, guaranteeing a good spraying effect. The flexible stainless steel mold, in conjunction with the hinged support, allows for ribbon painting of steel pipes with different outer diameters. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example: Reference Figure 1-4 An environmentally friendly handheld light tube end color ribbon spraying device is shown, including an open spraying mold and a spraying device;
[0027] The open-end spray painting mold includes a soft and elastic stainless steel open-end mold 1 for spraying color ribbon, wear-resistant nails 2, bracket 3, accordion protective cloth 4, paint return pipe 15 and bracket base 5. The bracket base 5 is connected to the bracket 3 by a hinge structure. The bracket 3 is also connected to the soft and elastic stainless steel open-end mold 1 by a hinge structure. The bracket 3 is wrapped with elastic accordion protective cloth 4. Multiple wear-resistant nails 2 are fixed at the bottom of the mold to keep the mold at a constant distance from the steel pipe.
[0028] The painting device includes an air intake pipe 7 that provides power, a pressure regulating valve 6 that regulates air pressure, a trigger 8, an air volume regulating valve 9, a switch valve 10, a nozzle 11, a paint supply pipe 12, a paint storage tank 13, and a paint return inlet 14. The nozzle 11 is connected to the support base 5.
[0029] During operation, external compressed air is connected to the air volume regulating valve 9 via the air inlet pipe, and the air pressure is regulated by the air volume regulating valve 9. The compressed air, adjusted to a constant pressure, enters the painting device through the air inlet pipe 7, and the air volume regulating valve 9 is used to control the amount of paint sprayed. Pulling the trigger 8 opens the switch valve 10, and the compressed air is sprayed out from the nozzle 11 after passing through the upper pipeline. During this process, due to the high air velocity at the top of the paint supply pipe 12, a pressure difference is created using Bernoulli's principle. Under the action of this pressure difference, the paint in the paint tank 13 enters the upper cavity through the paint supply pipe 12, is carried by the compressed air, and is sprayed out at the nozzle 11, forming paint aerosol.
[0030] The nozzle 11 is threaded to the bracket 5, the bracket 5 is hinged to the bracket 3, the bracket 3 is hinged to the soft and elastic stainless steel opening mold 1, the bracket 3 is wrapped with an elastic accordion protective cloth 4, and there are multiple wear-resistant nails 2 at the bottom of the mold to keep the soft and elastic stainless steel opening mold 1 at a constant distance from the steel pipe, so as to avoid the impact of the spraying distance fluctuation on the spraying effect.
[0031] During use, the handheld spray gun handle is used to press mold 1 onto the surface of the steel pipe to be painted. Because the flexible stainless steel open mold 1 is hinged to the support 5 and is elastically deformable, it automatically deforms to different curvatures according to the diameter of the steel pipe, fitting snugly against it. The steel pipe rotates automatically on the stand, thus spraying a ribbon onto its surface. Paint not sprayed onto the steel pipe surface is collected inside the flexible stainless steel open mold 1 by the accordion-like protective cloth, flowing back through the bottom paint return pipe 15 to the paint return inlet 14, and then back into the paint storage tank 13 for reuse. Throughout the entire ribbon spraying process, except for the paint sprayed onto the steel pipe surface, no paint leaks, achieving an environmentally friendly operation and 100% paint utilization.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
