Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Farbspritzpistole nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a paint spray gun according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine solche Farbspritzpistole ist aus GB-A-2 119 228 bekannt.Such a paint spray gun is known from GB-A-2 119 228.

Bei den bekannten Farbspritzpistolen ist das Gewinde zwischen dem Pistolenkörper und dem Luftdüsenring als Feingewinde nach DIN 13 ausgebildet. Die Nenndurchmesser der Gewinde liegen zwischen M 30 und M 38. Als gebräuchliche Steigungen finden 1,0 mm, 1,5 mm und 1,75 mm Verwendung. Mit diesen Gewinden ist eine genaue Zentrierung der Luftdüse relativ zur Farbdüse möglich, was für gute Spritzergebnisse Voraussetzung ist. Diese Feingewinde weisen jedoch Nachteile auf. Der bekannteste Nachteil ist die zeitaufwendige Reinigung des Gewindes bei Verschmutzungen. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, daß mindestens 5 Umdrehungen benötigt werden, um den Luftdüsenring auf- bzw. abzuschrauben. Nachteilig ist oftmals, daß der Luftdüsenring verkantet auf das Außengewinde des Pistolenkörpers aufgeschraubt wird, was zu einer Beschädigung des Gewindes führt.In the known paint spray guns, the thread between the gun body and the Air nozzle ring designed as a fine thread according to DIN 13. The nominal diameter of the thread are between M 30 and M 38. The usual pitches are 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm and 1.75mm use. With these threads, an exact centering of the air nozzle is relative possible to the paint nozzle, which is a prerequisite for good spraying results. This fine thread however, have disadvantages. The most well-known disadvantage is the time-consuming cleaning of the Thread for contamination. Another disadvantage is that at least 5 Revolutions are needed to unscrew or unscrew the air nozzle ring. adversely is often that the air nozzle ring canted on the external thread of the gun body is screwed on, which leads to damage to the thread.

Um diesen Nachteilen abzuhelfen, wäre es naheliegend, das Feingewinde durch ein Trapezgewinde zu ersetzen. Ein metrisches ISO-Trapezgewinde ist in DIN 103 beschrieben. Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, daß ein Trapezgewinde dieser Art nicht verwendbar ist. Bei einem Norm-Trapezgewinde ist es gegenüber einem Feingewinde erforderlich, die Wandstärke des Pistolenkörpers und diejenige des Luftdüsenrings im Bereich des Trapezgewindes zu erhöhen. Dies führt zu einer Gewichtszunahme des Pistolenkörpers von etwa 10 %, was dem Ziel der weitestgehenden Gewichtsreduzierung und damit der Entlastung der Spritzlackiererhand diametral entgegensteht. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist das große Flankenspiel eines Norm-Trapezgewindes, wodurch der Luftdüsenring dazu neigt, auf der Kugelzentrierung der Farbdüse zu verkanten bzw. zum einseitigen Anliegen kommt, so daß die Mitte der Luftdüse nicht mehr mit der Mitte der Farbdüse zu liegen kommt, wodurch der Spritzstrahl negativ verändert wird. Auch hat sich gezeigt, daß infolge der beträchtlichen Gewindehöhe das Gewinde nicht wesentlich einfacher zu reinigen ist, als dies bei einem Feingewinde der Fall ist. Es besteht die Aufgabe, das Norm-Trapezgewinde so zu modifizieren, daß es optimal als Gewinde für Pistolenkörper und Düsenring geeignet ist.In order to remedy these disadvantages, it would be obvious to use a fine thread To replace trapezoidal thread. A metric ISO trapezoidal thread is described in DIN 103. However, it has been shown that a trapezoidal thread of this type cannot be used. At a Standard trapezoidal thread is required compared to a fine thread, the wall thickness of the Gun body and that of the air nozzle ring in the area of the trapezoidal thread. This leads to a weight gain of the gun body of about 10%, which is the goal of the as far as possible weight reduction and thus the relief of the spray paint hand diametrically opposed. Another disadvantage is the large backlash of a standard trapezoidal thread, whereby the air nozzle ring tends to rest on the ball centering of the Tilt paint nozzle or comes to one-sided contact, so that the center of the air nozzle no longer comes to rest with the center of the paint nozzle, making the spray jet negative is changed. It has also been shown that due to the considerable thread height Thread is not much easier to clean than with a fine thread is. The task is to modify the standard trapezoidal thread so that it is optimal Thread for gun body and nozzle ring is suitable.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar. This problem is solved with the features of claim 1. Advantageous Refinements can be found in the subclaims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel wird nachfolgend erläutert. Hierbei werden einander gegenübergestellt ein metrisches ISO-Trapezgewinde nach DIN 103 der Größe 38 X 3 und ein modifiziertes Trapezgewinde mit einem Nenndurchmesser von 38 mm gemäß der Erfindung.An exemplary embodiment is explained below. Here, each other juxtaposed with a metric ISO trapezoidal thread according to DIN 103 size 38 X 3 and a modified trapezoidal thread with a nominal diameter of 38 mm according to the invention.

In beiden Fällen beträgt der Flankenwinkel 30° und der Außendurchmesser des Außengewindes 38 mm. Die Steigung beträgt beim Normgewinde 3 mm, beim modifizierten Gewinde 2,5 mm. Der Außendurchmesser des Innengewindes nach der Norm beträgt 38,5 mm, beim modifizierten Gewinde dagegen 38,2. Der Kerndurchmesser des Außengewindes weist 34,5 mm auf, beim modifizierten Gewinde dagegen 35,8 mm. Beim Normgewinde beträgt der Kemdurchmesser des Innengewindes 35 mm, beim modifizierten Gewinde 36 mm.In both cases the flank angle is 30 ° and the outside diameter of the External thread 38 mm. The pitch is 3 mm for the standard thread and for the modified one 2.5 mm thread. The outside diameter of the internal thread according to the standard is 38.5 mm, with the modified thread 38.2. The core diameter of the external thread has 34.5 mm, but 35.8 mm for the modified thread. For standard threads the core diameter of the internal thread is 35 mm, for the modified thread 36 mm.

Hieraus ergibt sich, daß beim Normgewinde die Gewindehöhe von Außen- und Innengewinde jeweils 1,75 mm (Gesamthöhe 3,5 mm) beträgt. Beim modifizierten Gewinde beträgt die Gewindehöhe 1,1 mm (Gesamthöhe 2,2 mm). Das Spitzenspiel beträgt beim Normgewinde 0,25 mm, beim modifizierten Gewinde 0,1 mm. Die entsprechenden Werte beim Flankenspiel betragen normgemäß 0,22 mm, modifiziert 0,152 mm.From this it follows that the thread height of the external and internal thread for standard threads each is 1.75 mm (total height 3.5 mm). For the modified thread this is Thread height 1.1 mm (total height 2.2 mm). The top game is with the standard thread 0.25 mm, with the modified thread 0.1 mm. The corresponding values for backlash are 0.22 mm, modified 0.152 mm.

Mit dem modifizierten Gewinde findet im Vergleich zu einem Feingewinde keine Gewichtszunahme statt. Der Luftdüsenring wird beim Aufschrauben einwandfrei zentriert, so daß sich hervorragende Spritzergebnisse ergeben. Das modifizierte Gewinde ist unempfindlich gegen Verschmutzungen. Das modifizierte Gewinde hat außerdem den Vorteil, daß zum Auf- und Abschrauben des Luftdüsenrings nur wenige Umdrehungen erforderlich sind.With the modified thread there is none compared to a fine thread Weight gain instead. The air nozzle ring is perfectly centered when screwing on, see above that there are excellent spraying results. The modified thread is insensitive to dirt. The modified thread also has the advantage that only a few revolutions are required to screw the air nozzle ring on and off are.
