RETROFIT LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND POWDER SPRAY GUN WITH INTEGRATED OR RETROFIT LIGHT
A light assembly coupled to a spray gun for spraying electrostatically charged coating material is disclosed. The spray gun includes a gun body comprising a barrel, a nozzle assembly extending from the barrel in a longitudinal direction, a voltage multiplier, and an actuator assembly configured to transition the voltage multiplier between an activated state and a deactivated state. The light assembly includes a light and circuitry electrically connected to the light. The circuitry is configured to supply electrical energy inductively obtained by the circuitry to the light when the voltage multiplier is in the activated state. The light assembly can also include a housing, a lens cover releasably attached to the housing, and a control member for changing a characteristic of the light.
MOTOR WITH A COOLING STRUCTURE
A motor includes: a motor housing; a shaft disposed inside the motor housing and extending along a rotation axis; a rotor having magnetism, and coupled to an outer circumferential surface of the shaft; a stator accommodated in the motor housing, disposed to be spaced apart from an outside of the rotor in a radial direction of the shaft, and wound around with a coil; a nozzle for charging a cooling fluid by applying a voltage, and spraying the cooling fluid to at least one of the rotor and the stator; and a charging plate disposed to be spaced apart from a spray hole of the nozzle, and changes a spray form of the cooling fluid by applying a voltage.
Generator usable in a potentially explosive atmosphere and assembly comprising an electrostatic sprayer and such a generator
A generator usable in an explosive atmosphere zone, and having a power greater than or equal to 8 Watts, preferably greater than 10 Watts, and an assembly including an electrostatic sprayer for a coating product and the generator.
Processes for the manufacture of conductive particle films for lithium ion batteries and lithium ion batteries
The invention is directed to a process for forming a particle film on a substrate. Preferably, a series of corona guns, staggered to optimize film thickness uniformity, are oriented on both sides of a slowly translating grounded substrate (copper or aluminum for the anode or cathode, respectively). The substrate is preferably slightly heated to induce binder flow, and passed through a set of hot rollers that further induce melting and improve film uniformity. The sheeting is collected on a roll or can be combined in-situ and rolled into a single-cell battery. The invention is also directed to products formed by the processes of the invention and, in particular, batteries.
Electrostatic fluid sprayer with active fluid cloud dispersal feature and method of electrostatic spraying
An electrostatic sprayer system for dispensing and dispersing a liquid containing a spray compound includes a spray cloud dispersal feature that reduces the time that a residual spray cloud containing droplets including the spray compound remains suspended after spraying. A method of dispersing the residual spray cloud is implemented by a control system that causes a flow control system to deliver a non-active gas or liquid in conjunction with stopping delivery of the liquid containing the spray agent and charged with the same polarity, so that a charged cloud of the non-active gas or liquid, which may be air, displaces the suspended active fluid particles. The non-active gas or liquid may be dispensed for a predetermined time interval as determined by the control system, or the operator may control the time interval during which that the non-active fluid is dispensed.
ILLUMINATION DEVICE FOR A SPRAY GUN AND SPRAY GUN HAVING SUCH AN ILLUMINATION DEVICE
A spray gun, in particular a powder spray gun, has a handle part and a gun barrel connected to the handle part. The spray gun further includes an illumination device for continuously or optionally illuminating and/or lighting at least one region of an object to be coated by the spray gun. The illumination device is detachably and in particular exchangeably connected to the spray gun and has a ring-shaped lighting means carrier with at least one lighting means, in particular in the form of an LED. The lighting means carrier extends around a downstream region of the gun barrel, on which it is radially supported.
