Pulsation damping system
The present invention relates to a pulsation damping system for a paint spray device for spraying paint including a pulsation damper for damping the pulsation of a paint stream, wherein the pulsation damper includes a housing, a chamber, a chamber inlet, a chamber outlet and a damping means. In this connection, an opening of the chamber outlet comprises a cross sectional area which is smaller than a cross sectional area of an opening of the chamber inlet, and as a result forms a throttle.
1. A pulsation damping system for a paint spray device for spraying paint including a pulsation damper for damping the pulsation of a paint stream, wherein the pulsation damper includes
a housing, a chamber, a chamber inlet, a chamber outlet, a damping means and a diaphragm that divides the chamber into a paint area, which is traversed by paint and a spring and damping area, wherein the chamber inlet and the chamber outlet are connected to the paint area, and
wherein an opening of the chamber outlet comprises a cross sectional area which is smaller than a cross sectional area of an opening of the chamber inlet, and as a result forms a throttle.
2. The pulsation damping system according to claim 1 , wherein the cross sectional area of the opening of the chamber outlet is at least 50% smaller than the cross sectional area of the opening of the chamber inlet.
3. The pulsation damping system according to claim 1 , wherein the spring and damping area includes at least one of a spring means and a damper.
4. The pulsation damping system according to claim 1 , wherein the diaphragm is a disk-shaped diaphragm.
5. The pulsation damping system according to claim 1 , wherein the chamber inlet and the chamber outlet are connected by a channel which is in connection with at least one of the diaphragm and the housing such that a passage for paint is present through the chamber irrespective of the position of the diaphragm, or in a manner that is not able to be blocked by the diaphragm.
6. The pulsation damping system according to claim 1 , wherein the pulsation damper includes an adjusting device, by means of which a spring force of the pulsation damper is pre-adjustable.
7. The pulsation damping system according to claim 1 , further comprising a second pulsation damper, wherein the second pulsation damper also includes a housing, a chamber, a chamber inlet, a chamber outlet and a damping means.
8. The pulsation damping system according to claim 7 , further comprising at least three pulsation dampers, wherein the third pulsation damper and each further pulsation damper also includes a housing, a chamber, a chamber inlet, a chamber outlet and a damping means.
9. The pulsation damping system according to claim 8 , wherein the pulsation dampers are incorporated into the paint stream in parallel with one another.
10. The pulsation damping system according to claim 8 , further comprising a first paint line connection, a distribution point, a collection point and a second paint line connection,
wherein the chamber inlet of the first pulsation damper and the chamber inlet of each further pulsation damper are connected to the first distribution point, and
wherein the chamber outlet of the first pulsation damper and the chamber outlet of each further pulsation damper are connected to the first collection point.
11. The pulsation damping system according to claim 10 , further comprising a second distribution point and a second collection point,
wherein a filter inlet of at least one filter is connected to the second distribution point, and
wherein a filter outlet of the at least one filter is connected to the second collection point.
12. The pulsation damping system according to claim 8 , wherein the pulsation dampers are arranged symmetrically with one another.
13. A paint spray device including a paint container, a paint pump, a paint hose, a spray head and a pulsation damping system according to claim 1 .
14. The paint spray device according to claim 13 , wherein the pulsation damping system is arranged between the paint pump and the paint hose.
15. The pulsation damping system according to claim 4 , wherein the damper is an open-pore or closed-pore plastic material body.
16. The pulsation damping system according to claim 15 , wherein the damper is a foam material or a rubber body.
17. The pulsation damping system according to claim 12 , wherein the pulsation dampers are located opposite one another.
18. The pulsation damping system according to claim 3 , wherein the spring means includes at least one of a gas filling and a mechanical spring, and wherein the damper includes a plastic material which absorbs pressure energy.
