Abstract

A disc-type rotary atomizer affords advantages such as superior paint transfer efficiency, uniformity of paint pattern and particle size, and less consumption of compressed air compared to a spray-gun-type atomizer. Furthermore, it can be applied to all types of painting materials, and it is suitable for large-scale processes such as car painting. The painting quality, which is closely related to the atomizer performance, is determined by the uniformity and droplet size in accordance with the design of the bell disc surface. This study establishes the basics of how to design a surface by modeling the operating bell disc's RPM, diameter, surface angle, and film thickness considering dye characteristics such as the viscosity, density, and surface affinity.

벨 디스크(Bell disc, 오토마이저 Atomizer)를 사용한 회전식 도장기술은 뛰어난 도료 전달효율, 도장 패턴 및 입자크기의 균일성, 스프레이 건 방식에 비해 적은 압축공기 사용량 등의 장점이 있다. 또한 회전식 분무기는 모든 페인트 재료에 적용할 수 있고 자동차 연속도장 같은 대규모 도장이 필요한 환경에 적합하다. 도장기기의 성능과 밀접하게 관계된 도장품질은 벨 디스크 표면설계에 따른 액적 크기와 균일성에 의해 결정된다. 따라서 이번 연구는 도료의 점성, 밀도, 표면친화도 등의 염료 특성이 고려된 작동하는 벨 디스크의 회전수, 직경, 표면의 각도, 무화시의 박막두께에 대한 모델링을 시행하여 표면설계 방법의 기초를 수립하였다.
