Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for measuring a mass flow rate of powder conveyed together with a gas, a high-performance powder quantitative supply device which is easily manufactured, operated, and maintained by applying the flow rate measuring device, and This is related to a high-performance electrostatic powder coating device to which this is applied, background art
- Fig. 4 shows an example of what is called a positive displacement metering device.
- the powder paint 102 inside the hopper 101 is passed through a perforated plate 103 by compressed air 104. Fluidized and sent to the injector 1 13 by the screw feeder 106 provided at the bottom of the hopper 101, and supplied to the powder gun by the injector 113. .
- this device is controlled by the constant determined by the screw size, that is, the effective volume A (c c) of one pitch of the screw and the rotation speed RZmin of the motor 108.
- the amount of paint supply essentially required in the powder coating process is not the volume flow rate (cc Zmin) but the mass flow rate (gZmin), so the powder in the inside 107 of the screw feeder 106 is Corrected by the actual bulk specific gravity S of the body paint (hereinafter referred to as supply bulk specific gravity)
- Mass flow rate F S A R (unit-g / min)
- a positive displacement metering device it is important to prevent the paint level in the paint hopper from affecting the supplied bulk specific gravity S.
- the paint is used for this purpose.
- the level control device 105 is applied.
- several other methods of insulating the paint level from the bulk density of the feed are used, most of which employ fluidization of the powder in the hopper, and The same is true for a positive displacement metering device using a table feeder, an eccentric pump, a grooved roll, and the like.
- the loose bulk specific gravity of the new flour which has the greatest effect on the specific gravity of the supply, varies over a wide range from 0.4 to 0.75 g / cc, depending on the type of paint. It may vary by about 3-5% for production lots.
- the supply bulk specific gravity S is affected by about 5 to 15% depending on the amount of flowing air. This is not a problem for the paint hopper as a whole, and when multiple screws are attached to one hopper, There is a difference of several percent in the air flow resistance due to the 103 part, which directly affects the specific gravity of the supply.
- the screw feeder 106 which is a constant-volume supply function device (hereinafter abbreviated as a constant-volume machine) illustrated in FIG. 4, is a device with a complicated structure, and is used to change the color of paint including a hopper. Removal and disassembly and cleaning are required, which requires a long time and manual labor. For quick color change requests, a spare machine for color change must be prepared, and the equipment cost for that is also required. It will be large. This difficulty in countermeasures for color change is the second problem of the positive displacement metering device, and the same applies to other systems using a constant volume machine other than the screw feeder.
- the third problem with the positive displacement metering device is that the screw feeder illustrated in Fig.
- FIG. 7 is an example of a conventional technique that is different from the positive displacement metering device described above.
- a measurement gas 1 1 4 is flowed at a constant speed through a nozzle 1 2 1 into a measurement pipe 1 2 0, and the fluidized powder 1 0 2 in the hopper 1 0 1 is passed through a measurement pipe 1 2
- the differential pressure sensor generates a fixed small-volume blind conduit through a filter 122, and a differential pressure sensor 1 2 3 This is output through the high-speed signal processing device 124, and the flow rate of the powder is detected by the supply amount indication value (gZmin) indicated on the display device 125, as shown in the figure.
- the driving gas 1 28 of the injector 1 29 consisting of the nozzle 127 and the nozzle 126 is automatically controlled to obtain the required powder supply amount.
- the output of the sensor has a linear relationship in the region where the amount of powder supplied is large. There is a problem that it becomes smaller and becomes non-linear characteristic.
- the powder is simply introduced and accelerated with the measuring gas in the measuring pipe, so that the type of powder depends on the type of powder.
- the degree of dispersion is different, and this causes a difference in the degree of acceleration.
- different calibration curves are obtained depending on the type and physical properties of the powder, such as 130 and 131 in Fig. 8. .
- the reason why a non-linear calibration curve such as 132 in FIG. 8 can be obtained is that the dispersion of the powder is good in the range where the powder flow rate is small, so that a linear characteristic can be obtained, but the dispersion increases as the powder flow rate increases.
- the calibration curve becomes linear as the powder flow increases. And it curves in a direction approaching the ⁇ axis.
- the powder in the measurement pipeline is unevenly distributed below the horizontal measurement pipeline due to the action of gravity due to insufficient dispersion of the powder.
- a large velocity difference may occur with the measurement gas, that is, acceleration may be insufficient.
- the calibration curve varies depending on the powder properties and operating conditions.
- the purpose of the present invention is to provide the prior art summarized in each of FIGS. 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 described above. It is to solve the problem of the art.
- the mass of the powder flowing per unit time "unit is gram per minute (g / min)", regardless of the type and physical properties of the powder.
- the aim is to develop a body mass flow measuring device and obtain a sensor-based feedback system that automatically controls the output of the device to match the set value, that is, a quantitative powder supply device. Disclosure of the invention
- a first means for achieving the object of the present invention is to introduce a powder whose flow rate is to be measured into a measurement gas flow at a constant speed formed in a measurement pipe, and the measurement gas is supplied to the measurement pipe.
- the powder is added to the measurement gas just before the inlet of the measurement pipe. This is to introduce the measurement gas accompanied by the powder into the measurement pipe by a dispersion means capable of sufficiently dispersing the gas.
- the second means is to apply a differential pressure sensor system that forms a micro-volume blind channel substantially on both sides of a rigid pressure receiving diaphragm through a filter as a pressure difference measuring means.
- the third means is to form the inner surface of the measurement pipe with a non-adhesive substance such as fluororesin.
- the fourth means is to make the flow velocity distribution of the gas in the measuring pipe and the uniform dispersion of the powder stable axially from the inlet to the outlet, and this is achieved by the first dispersion means described above.
- the first dispersion means described above.
- the velocity of the powder particles at the outlet of the measurement pipe is not affected by the physical properties of the powder, and is substantially different from the measurement gas. Since the same speed is accelerated, the same differential pressure is generated for the same flow rate (g Z min) of the powder, in other words, the powder conveyed to the gas It has become possible to measure the mass flow rate.
- the dispersion means which forms the center of the four means described above and which sufficiently disperses the powder with the measurement gas immediately before the measurement pipe, is coaxial with the measurement pipe, separated from the bulk by a small space.
- the measurement gas is applied from the outer periphery of the columnar powder toward the axis at 15 to 5 O Approximately 5 m to 20 cm per second by applying a cross-jet as a high-speed thin layer air flow Even if the gas for measurement required from the configuration of the entire feeder system has a small flow rate, the powder is dispersed into independent single particles in the gas to be measured.
- the powder is entrained in the measurement gas into the measurement pipe and is uniformly distributed in the measurement pipe in combination with the fourth means described above.
- Particulate particles having a particle diameter of 75 ⁇ m or less and a true specific gravity in the range of 0.9 to 1.65 are all accelerated in the measurement pipe to substantially the same speed as the measurement gas, and as a result, Regardless of the type of body particles, that is, the physical properties of the powder, the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the measurement pipe line is generated with a unique linear relationship with the mass flow rate of the powder. It was completed.
- a powder mass flow rate measuring device capable of measuring the flow rate of the powder conveyed to a gas without being affected by the type of the powder is obtained.
- a powder quantitative feeder that can always maintain high accuracy without the performance being affected by usage conditions and powder physical properties, does not require on-site verification or adjustment, and Can be.
- the device according to the present invention has a very simple structure and is small in size, is constituted by connecting circular pipes of non-adhesive substances, has no built-in components or movable parts, and can be detachably attached to the powder hopper.

- FIG. 1 shows an example of the structure of a quantitative supply system for powder coating using a gas carrier powder mass flow meter according to the present invention and a means for cleaning the inside thereof
- FIG. 2 shows the characteristics of the quantitative supply system according to the present invention.
- a throat 2 2 driven by a control gas 16 and a nozzle X 2 composed of a nozzle 23 4 and the powder 3 2 in the inner cylinder 3 5 of the hopper 3 1 fluidized through the perforated plate 3 3 by the compressed air 3 4 and a small amount of air through the suction pipe 36
- a measuring gas 2 having a specified flow rate is supplied to a dispersion means 3 provided near the upper end of the powder introduction means 5, and the powder is introduced through an extremely thin slit 4 provided at the upper end of the dispersion means 3.
- the difference between the pressure and the mass flow rate g Z min of the powder passing through the measuring pipe 1 is as follows. A certain linear relationship is established regardless of the type and physical properties of the body paint, in other words, the mass flow rate can be measured. However, in some cases, the Reynolds number of the measurement gas in the measurement pipe must be reduced to 230 or less due to the relationship with other related equipment. It is less affected by powder properties and operating conditions. Further, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the case where the thin-layer high-speed gas 6 is blown at right angles to the powder is shown, but another appropriate angle may be selected as needed.
- the calibration value on the ⁇ axis is the calibration value g Z mi ⁇ of the mass flow rate obtained by collecting and weighing the powder paint that has passed through the measurement pipe 1 within a certain time
- the indicated value on the y axis is The pressure difference between the inlet 7 and outlet 8 of the measuring pipe 1 is detected by the differential pressure sensor 11 via the filter 1 9 and this is passed through the amplifier 12 and the display 13
- the mass flow rate can be obtained from the indicated value by the calibration curves 51, 52, etc., which show the relationship between the calibrated value and the indicated value.
- the calibration curve 50 can be applied as a representative calibration curve without the actual test. Therefore, according to the present invention, by measuring the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the measuring pipe 1, the mass flow rate of the ordinary powder coating material can be measured with an accuracy of ⁇ 2.5% or less. The precision is high enough to achieve significant effects such as saving paint, uniform coating thickness, improving coating efficiency, and saving labor in the powder coating process.
- the measurement gas is 2)
- powders with ordinary powder coatings that is, powders with an average particle diameter of 10 to 50 m and a true specific gravity of about 0.9 to 1.7
- all particles can be measured as long as they are sufficiently dispersed. This means that it can accelerate to the same speed as the measurement gas 2 in the pipe 1.
- the performance of the injector 24 is reduced, so that the flow rate of the measurement gas 2 is limited to about 5 to 20 liter / min. It is required to achieve sufficient dispersion of the powder within the range.
- the measuring gas 2 forms a swirling flow inside the measuring pipe 1 and generates a large differential pressure harmful to the measurement of the mass flow rate of the powder, and the centrifugal force due to the swirling flow
- the powder is unevenly distributed in the vicinity of the pipe wall, and the energy used for accelerating the powder has no clear relation with the pressure difference generated in the measurement pipe 1, so that it becomes difficult to measure the mass flow rate.
- the controller 14, the control valves 17, 19, the injector 24, and the hot plate 31 are part of the powder mass flow measuring device according to the present invention in terms of system,
- a system consisting of the parts indicated by reference numerals 1 to 20 and 31 and 37 will be generically referred to as a quantitative supply device.
- the flow rate of the control gas 16 fluctuates due to control, which may not be desirable for the operation of the powder gun 25.
- the amount of air transported by the body may be insufficient with the combined amount of the measurement gas 2 and the control gas 16 .
- the auxiliary gas 18 is connected to the injector 24 via the control valve 19. It is blown into the exit.
- a constant flow valve 27 is applied in order to maintain the amount of the carrier gas in the pipeline 20 at a predetermined value, and the ventilation resistance downstream thereof is controlled by the control valves 17 and 1. Even if it is changed by the operation of 9, the amount of air transported in the pipe line 20 is always kept constant in accordance with the set value of the constant flow valve 27. It is desirable that the control valve 19 performs the reverse operation of the control valve 1 ⁇ . Therefore, the control valve 19 performs the reverse operation in conjunction with the operation of the control valve 17 by the connecting means 26. There are times when you do.
- the reverse operation means that when the control valve 19 is opened, the control valve 17 operates to close correspondingly. For example, in FIG.
- the compressed air 27 ′ coming out of the constant flow valve is supplied to the controller 17 by valves 17 and 18 having the same characteristics connected by spur gears 17 ′ and 18 ′.
- the output causes one of the valve elements 17 “to rotate by being driven by a motor and move in the closing direction by the screw of the valve element 17", and the other valve element 19 "is inverted by the spur gear 19 '. It rotates in the direction of opening, and its output flow 16 and 19 decreases as one increases and the other decreases, thus the reverse operation can be easily realized, ie, the connection in FIG. Realization of means 26
- the example is a set of spur gears 17 'and 19' in FIG.
- the constant flow valve 27 allows the amount of air transported in the pipe line 20 to be practically negligible over a considerably wide powder mass flow rate range. It can be kept constant. However, when it is not necessary to control the transfer speed in the pipe 20 so strictly, the constant flow valve 27 is not necessarily required. Normally, the compressed air 30 used in this system is supplied as an original pressure having a constant pressure by a precise constant pressure valve 29, thereby operating the constant flow valve 27. It will be easier. In addition, the flow rate of the measurement gas 2 serving as a reference for the operation of this system can be set to a precise predetermined flow rate by the setting valve 28 from the above-mentioned constant source pressure.
- the quantitative feeder since the detection characteristics of the powder flow rate are not affected by the powder properties, the physical properties of the new powder 38 and the recovered powder 39 entering the hopper 31 in FIG. In contrast, even if the ratio changes, the powder supply does not change beyond the accuracy range of ⁇ 2.5%. In addition, even if the flow rate of the fluidizing compressed air 34 changes, and the flow rate changes to the entrained air of the powder in the bulk powder introduction means 5 at the same ratio, it can be compared with the velocity of the measurement gas in the measurement pipe. If less than 5%, it can be ignored.
- the amount of air entrained in the powder will be the flow rate of the measured gas. It is 1 Z 200 or less per one normal l O liter / min, and does not affect the velocity of the measurement gas in the measurement pipe.
- the powder flow rate measuring device and the quantitative supply device according to the present invention the fluidized air does not affect the detection characteristics and the supply characteristics of the measurement.
- the metering device according to the present invention can supply fluidized air only if the powder is reliably supplied to the inlet of the suction pipe by means such as vibration of a hopper. The amount is 0, that is, even from a simple bulk hopper, it can be operated as a fixed-quantity supply device for ordinary powder coatings.
- a filter 9 made of a non-adhesive substance such as fluororesin having a large number of extremely fine air holes is used.
- a semiconductor differential pressure sensor that forms a micro-volume blind tube having an invariable internal volume on both sides of a substantially rigid pressure-receiving film 10 such as a silicon film.
- the inner surface of the measurement pipe 1 and the filter 9 are made of a non-adhesive material such as a fluororesin, but the powder contact portion in the dispersing means 3, the inlet 7 and the outlet 8, and b Normally, the inside of the nozzle 24 is also made of the same non-adhesive material, so that the color change of the entire quantitative supply device can be performed in a very short time. That is, in Fig. 1, the operating quantitative supply device is the lower end of the powder introduction means 5, and is tightly connected to the suction pipe 36 via the sealing device 37 by a fastener (not shown). In addition, powder is sucked up from the hopper.

- a cylinder 35 is provided, thereby forming a fluidization region limited mainly to the inside and the lower part of the inner bore 35 so that the upper end of the inner bore 35 comes below the powder level during normal operation.
- the fluidized air is saved and the dusting treatment of the fluidized air is not required (fluidization is mainly performed inside the inner cylinder 35, and the fine powder containing the fluidized air is Bar above cylinder 3 5 Since dust is collected by the luke powder layer, dust collection processing of the hopper exhaust is practically unnecessary, and paint is mixed by circulation 44 due to the difference in bulk specific gravity between the fluidized part in the hopper and the bulk part.
- Partial fluidization device is provided at the lower end of the suction pipe, so that the powder is always stably supplied to the inlet of the suction pipe by a vibration device or a stirring device without fluidization means. And any of these types.

If a higher degree of resistance and resistance is required, a porous alumina film is formed on the inner surface of the measurement pipe 1 and a surface treatment in which fluorine resin is impregnated with vacuum is applied, or Nigel or the like is used.
- the turbulence generated when the powder is sufficiently dispersed and the measurement pipe By keeping the Reynolds number of the measurement gas in 1 above 2300, turbulence exists over the entire length of the measurement pipe 1 and the flow velocity distribution becomes stable, and the distribution of powder particles becomes uniform. Therefore, there is no loss in the measurement pipeline 1, which is also effective for long-term stability of measurement accuracy, and this effect is further improved by making the measurement pipeline vertical.
