Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a painting booth, and more specifically, to a painting booth implemented to rapidly discharge dust and foreign substances that may be generated during the painting process. Background Technology

[0003] Generally, a paint booth is a booth that sprays paint onto a product using a spray method and dries the painted product by supplying hot air at an appropriate temperature into the booth.

[0004] In addition, recent paint booths are known to be equipped with a purification device for removing paint mist emitted from the paint room.

[0005] A conventional paint booth has a paint chamber in which a workpiece is received and a purification device for removing paint mist contained in the air inside the paint chamber.

[0006] The above purification device comprises a water tank placed in a painting room, a pump for pumping water from the water tank, and a water rope forming mechanism. The water rope forming mechanism has a water case for receiving water pumped up by the pump, and a plurality of nozzle sections are formed on the bottom wall of the water case.

[0007] Each of the above nozzle sections has an inlet, a tube section protruding downward from the inlet with a decreasing inner diameter and a circular outlet opening at the bottom of the tube section, and forms a plurality of parallel water ropes (hereinafter referred to as "water streams") by water falling in a straight line from each outlet.

[0008] Therefore, conventional paint booths pass paint mist through multiple water streams falling downwards, and collect and remove the paint mist adsorbed by the water streams in a tank.

[0009] However, the conventional paint booth configured as described above had a problem in that the purification performance of the purification device was reduced because the amount of mist adsorbed through the falling water streams was small, and the efficiency of capturing and removing the mist was low.

[0010] Meanwhile, the aforementioned background technology is technical information that the inventor possessed for the derivation of the present invention or acquired during the process of deriving the present invention, and it cannot necessarily be considered publicly known technology disclosed to the general public prior to the filing of the present invention.

[0062] The nozzle groove (736) is formed as a recess on the lower side of the rotating block (734) exposed from the block seating groove (733), and is formed in a conical shape such that the inner diameter gradually decreases from the entrance inward.

[0063] The spray nozzle (737) is installed inside the nozzle groove (736) and sprays compressed air.

[0064] The wing seating groove (738) is formed by being recessed along the inner surface of the nozzle groove (736), with an inner diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the entrance of the nozzle groove (736).

[0068] The tube seating groove (820) is formed along the front inward surface of the wing body (810).

[0069] The tube (830) is formed in the shape of a circular ring made of an elastic material capable of expansion or contraction and is installed along the tube seating groove (820). As a fluid, such as water or oil, is supplied from a fluid supply tank (not shown in the drawing for convenience of explanation) into the internal space, it expands toward the center of the wing body (810), and as the supplied fluid is discharged, it contracts and is received into the tube seating groove (820).

[0070] The tube support frame (840) is formed with a length corresponding to the front and rear length of the tube seating groove (820) and is attached to the inner surface of the tube (830) exposed from the tube seating groove (820), with the rear end connected to the rear end of the tube seating groove (820) so as to be rotatable. As fluid is supplied to the tube (830) and expands, it rotates to induce the front inner surface of the tube (830) to expand more inwardly than the rear inner surface of the tube (830), thereby inducing the inner diameter of the inner surface of the tube (830) to gradually decrease as it moves toward the front.

[0071] A plurality of wing drive gears (739) are connected and installed so as to be rotatably driven at regular intervals along the circumference of the wing mounting groove (738), and are connected by engaging with gear teeth formed along the circumference of the variable injection wing (800) through gear coupling, and are rotated in a forward or reverse direction to insert the variable injection wing (800) into the wing mounting groove (738) or expose it from the wing mounting groove (738).

[0072] A variable injection blade (800) having the configuration described above reduces the discharge angle of compressed air compared to the case where compressed air is discharged through the wing seating groove (738) as the tube (830) expands (in the case of 830b in FIG. 8) and as the tube (830) expands after being exposed from the wing seating groove (738) (in the case of 830b in FIG. 8) and the tube (830) is housed in the tube seating groove (820) (in the case of 830a in FIG. 8).

[0073] The injection slider (730) having the configuration described above can vary the injection angle of the compressed air, thereby varying the angle of formation of the downward airflow, and also vary the intensity of the compressed air being injected, so that more effective removal of dust or foreign matter can be achieved.

[0075] The embodiments described above are for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments described above can be easily modified into other specific forms without altering the technical concept or essential features of the embodiments described above. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.
