Description
L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de projection de produit de revêtement utilisés, notamment, dans les installations où l'alimentation d'un projecteur de produit de revêtement est réalisée à partir d'un réservoir à piston.The invention relates to a method and a device. coating product projection used, especially in installations where the power supply of a coating product projector is produced from a piston tank.
Dans les installations de revêtement classiques, on asservit parfois le débit de produit de revêtement par rapport à la vitesse du convoyeur qui transporte des objets à revêtir tels que des carrosseries de véhicules automobiles. Un calculateur détermine, à intervalles de temps donnés, de l'ordre de quelques secondes, et en fonction de la vitesse du convoyeur, une valeur de consigne du débit de peinture qui doit être délivré à un projecteur pendant l'intervalle de temps suivant. Dans le cas d'une alimentation du projecteur à partir d'un réservoir à piston, on asservit ainsi la vitesse de déplacemnent du piston par rapport à la vitesse de déplacement des objets. En pratique, la précision de la vitesse de convoyage des carrosseries est aussi importante pour l'état de surface obtenu que la précision du débit de produit de revêtement fourni au projecteur.In conventional coating installations, sometimes the flow rate of coating product is controlled relative to the speed of the conveyor which transports objects to be coated such as bodywork motor vehicles. A calculator determines, at given time intervals, on the order of a few seconds, and depending on the speed of the conveyor, a paint flow setpoint which must be delivered to a projector during the interval of next time. In the case of a supply of projector from a piston tank, we thus controls the speed of displacement of the piston relative to the speed of movement of the objects. In practical, the precision of the conveying speed of bodywork is also important for the state of surface obtained that the product flow accuracy of coating provided to the projector.
Or, il arrive que la mesure de vitesse du convoyeur soit imprécise ou que la vitesse du convoyeur varie de façon non contrôlée, ce qui induit des erreurs sur le débit de produit fourni au projecteur et, par voie de conséquence, des irrégularités dans le revêtement qui peuvent engendrer des défauts d'aspects. De plus, il arrive que le convoyeur doive, pour raison de sécurité, être arrêté en urgence au cours d'une phase de revêtement. Les temps de réponse sont tels qu'une quantité de peinture mal contrôlée est projetée sur la carrosserie en cours d'arrêt, ce qui conduit, d'une part, à un gaspillage de produit et, d'autre part, à la formation d'une sur-épaisseur préjudiciable à l'état de surface.However, it sometimes happens that the speed measurement of the conveyor is imprecise or the speed of the conveyor varies in an uncontrolled manner, which induces errors in the flow of product supplied to the projector and, consequently, irregularities in the coating which can cause appearance defects. In addition, it happens that the conveyor must be stopped for safety reasons in emergency during a coating phase. The response times are such that a quantity of paint poorly controlled is projected onto the body in progress stop, which leads, on the one hand, to a waste of product and, on the other hand, to the formation of an extra thickness detrimental to the surface finish.
Des problèmes équivalents apparaissent dans les installations où les objets à revêtir sont à l'arrêt pendant les phases de projection et ou les projecteurs sont mobiles le long ou autour des objets, par exemple dans le cas où un projecteur est porté par un robot multiaxe. Une telle installation est connue de FR-A-2 609 252.Equivalent problems appear in installations where the objects to be coated are stationary during the projection phases and or the projectors are movable along or around objects, for example in case a projector is carried by a robot multi-axis. Such an installation is known from FR-A-2 609 252.
L'invention résout l'ensemble de ces problèmes.The invention solves all of these problems.
Elle concerne un procédé de projection de produit de revêtement grâce à au moins un projecteur alimenté en produit de revêtement à partir d'un réservoir à piston caractérisé en ce que la position du piston dans le réservoir est asservie à la position relative du projecteur par rapport aux objets à revêtir.It relates to a product projection process coating thanks to at least one powered projector coating product from a tank piston characterized in that the position of the piston in the tank is slaved to the relative position of the projector in relation to the objects to be coated.
L'invention concerne aussi un dispositif apte à la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé et plus précisément un dispositif de projection de produit de revêtement sur des objets transportés par un convoyeur, ledit dispositif comprenant un projecteur alimenté en produit de revêtement à partir d'un réservoir à piston, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte des moyens d'asservissement de la position du piston dans le réservoir par rapport à la position relative du projecteur par rapport aux objets.The invention also relates to a device suitable for implementation of this process and more specifically a coating product spraying device objects transported by a conveyor, said device comprising a projector powered by coating product from a tank to piston, characterized in that it comprises means to control the position of the piston in the tank relative to the relative position of the projector by relation to objects.
Grâce au procédé et au dispositif de l'invention, une installation de revêtement n'est pas perturbée par les variations de vitesse du convoyeur d'une installation et/ou les arrêts d'urgence.Thanks to the method and the device of the invention, a coating installation is not disturbed by the conveyor speed variations of a installation and / or emergency stops.
L'invention s applique aussi bien au cas où les objets à revêtir défilent devant le projecteur, eventuellement mobile, ou à celui où les objets sont fixes pendant les phases de revêtement et où le projecteur est mobile, par exemple porté par le bras d' un robot multiaxe. Dans le premier cas, le projecteur peut être porté par une machine latérale ou une machine de toit.The invention applies equally well to the case where the objects to be coated parade in front of the projector, possibly mobile, or where the objects are fixed during the coating phases and where the projector is mobile, for example carried by the arm of a multi - axis robot. In the first case, the projector can be carried by a side machine or a roof machine.
L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaítront plus clairement à la lumière de la description qui va suivre de 2 modes de réalisation d'une installation de projection de produit de revêtement conforme à son principe donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels
- la figure 1 est une vue schématique de dessus d'une installation de projection de produit de revêtement;
- la figure 2 est une représentation symbolique de la position du piston en fonction de la position des carrosseries sur l'axe XX' de la figure 1 et
- la figure 3 est une vue schématique de dessus d'une autre installation de projection de produit de revêtement.
- Figure 1 is a schematic top view of a coating product spraying installation;
- FIG. 2 is a symbolic representation of the position of the piston as a function of the position of the bodies on the axis XX 'of FIG. 1 and
- Figure 3 is a schematic top view of another installation for spraying coating product.
L'installation de la figure 1 comprend un convoyeur
non représenté déplaçant des objets, tels que des
carrosseries de véhicules automobiles 1 en translation
dans une cabine 2 le long d'un axe XX'. Elle comprend
essentiellement plusieurs machines latérales 3a à 3f
et une machine de toit 4. Chacune de ces machines
porte au moins un projecteur 5a à 5i respectivement
alimenté en produit de revêtement à partir d'un
réservoir à piston 6a à 6i. Le réservoir 6a de la
machine 3a comprend un piston 7a, commandé par un
moteur électrique pas-à-pas 8a, et apte à pousser le
produit de revêtement à l'extérieur du réservoir 6a
vers le projecteur 5a. Le moteur 8a est piloté par une
commande numérique 9a reliée à un automate non
représenté.The installation of Figure 1 includes a conveyor
not shown moving objects, such as
La position du piston 7a dans le réservoir 6a est
déterminée par son abscisse sur un axe le long duquel
il se déplace en translation. La position de la
carrosserie le long de l'axe XX' est mesurée par un
capteur 10 placé sur le trajet des carrosseries 1 et
dont la sortie est reliée à l'automate. Conformément à
l'invention, la position du piston 7a dans le réservoir est déterminée
par la commande numérique 9a en fonction de la
position de la carrosserie le long de l'axe XX'. Plus
précisément, un top est envoyé par le capteur 10 à
l'automate pour chaque centimètre parcouru par la
carrosserie. Avec une vitesse moyenne de 4 mètres par
minute, un top est envoyé toutes les 150
millisecondes. Entre chaque top-convoyeur reçu,
l'automate interpole la valeur moyenne de consigne de
la position du piston 7a qui est transmise à la
commande numérique 9a et au moteur 8a. Le
fonctionnement des autres machines est similaire. La
fonction ayant pour variable la position de la
carrosserie le long de l'axe XX' et pour valeur
l'abscisse de la position du piston est une fonction
monotone croissante. De plus, dans le cas où la
carrosserie recule le long de l'axe XX', c'est-à-dire
où sa progression change de sens, le piston est
débrayé et maintenu en position jusqu'à ce que la
carrosserie retourne à la position qu'elle occupait
avant de changer de sens. Eventuellement, la connexion
entre le piston et sa tige d'entraínement est du type
divulgué dans la demande FR-A-2 722 432 au nom de la
Demanderesse dont le contenu est inclus dans la
présente demande par référence.The position of the
Des exemples de courbes représentatives de la position du piston par rapport à l'avance de la carrosserie sur l'axe XX' représentée par les tops convoyeur sont visibles à la figure 2. La courbe A est utilisée pour une relation linéaire entre les tops convoyeur et l'avance du piston. Le coefficient d'échelle constant est de l'ordre de 0,0375 puisque le piston parcourt environ 150 mm pendant que la carrosserie parcourt environ 4 mètres. La courbe B résulte d'un coefficient d'échelle variable qui est déterminé expérimentalement en fonction de l'épaisseur de produit de revêtement désirée et de la dimension des surfaces à peindre perpendiculairement à leur déplacement sur le convoyeur. Ainsi, la position du piston dans le réservoir au milieu de la carrosserie varie rapidement car toute la hauteur du véhicule est à peindre alors qu'au début et à la fin de la phase de revêtement le véhicule est peint jusqu'au haut des ailes; c'est-à-dire à mi-hauteur.Examples of curves representative of the position of the piston with respect to the advance of the bodywork on the XX 'axis represented by the conveyor tops are visible in Figure 2. Curve A is used to a linear relationship between the conveyor tops and advance of the piston. The constant scale coefficient is around 0.0375 since the piston travels approx. 150 mm while the body travels about 4 meters. Curve B results from a coefficient of variable scale which is determined experimentally depending on the thickness of the coating product desired and the size of the surfaces to be painted perpendicular to their displacement on the conveyor. So the position of the piston in the tank in the middle of the body changes quickly because the entire height of the vehicle is to be painted while at the start and at the end of the coating phase the vehicle is painted to the top of the wings; that is to say at mid-height.
L'installation de la figure 3 diffère de celle de la
figure 1 en ce que le convoyeur est du type à arrêt
(stop and go) et en ce que le projecteur 105a est
susceptible de mouvements parallèles à l'axe XX', ici
monté sur un robot multiaxe 112a. Les éléments
similaires à ceux de la figure 1 portent des
références identiques majorées de 100. La carrosserie
101 étant fixe dans la cabine 102 pendant les phases
de projection de produit de revêtement, la position
relative du projecteur par rapport à la carrosserie
est connue par la mesure de la position du projecteur
105a dans la cabine 102, c'est-à-dire la position du
bout du bras du robot 112a. Le capteur 10 du mode de
réalisation de la figure 1 peut avantageusement être
remplacé par un codeur 110a ou un ensemble de codeurs
placés à proximité des articulations du robot multiaxe
112. Comme précédemment, l'asservissement de la
position du piston 107a dans le réservoir 106a est
possible grâce à une commande numérique 109a qui
pilote un moteur électrique pas-à-pas 108a.The installation in Figure 3 differs from that in the
Figure 1 in that the conveyor is of the stop type
(stop and go) and in that the
