Various exemplary illustrations of a coating agent device are disclosed. In one example, a coating agent device may be a coating agent valve, e.g., for influencing the discharge of a coating agent. The coating agent device may include a plug-in or pluggable fastening base configured to facilitate a plug-in or pluggable mounting of the coating agent device. In some examples, the coating agent device may prevent relative rotation of the device relative to a mating component.

A paint cartridge includes a housing and a piston slidably disposed within a cavity in the housing to divide the cavity into a paint chamber and a solvent chamber. A valve assembly extends through an aperture in the piston to selectively put the paint chamber in fluid communication with the solvent chamber. A solvent inlet provides solvent to the solvent chamber to move the piston. Movement of the piston discharges paint from the paint chamber through the paint outlet.

A changer device for coating media having a housing, which has a delivery port which can be connected to an application device. At least one change unit is provided which includes at least a first and second inlet port, at least one outlet port and a valve device which may connect the first inlet port or the second inlet port to the outlet port, or which may block the flow channel to the outlet port. The valve device may be a rotating element and/or sliding element that is arranged in a valve chamber and includes a plurality of passage ducts which are able to connect fluidically the outlet port with one or both of the at least two inlet ports of the changer unit. The at least one such change unit may be provided in a coating system for coating objects with an application device and a plurality of reservoirs.

Exemplary embodiments relate to a color changer module including an inlet channel, an outlet channel, a duct channel arranged between them to form a fluidic connection, and a first valve for interrupting the duct channel. A docking valve, lies fluidically in series with the first valve and with which the duct channel can also be interrupted.

A liquid (e.g., paint) distribution system comprising: at least one liquid reservoir; at least one liquid exchange assembly, wherein the liquid exchange assembly comprises at least one liquid exchange module; a plurality of liquid circulation lines disposed between the liquid reservoir and at least one liquid exchange module, wherein each the liquid circulation line supplies at least one liquid to the liquid exchange module; at least one liquid change valve module; and at least one liquid supply line in fluid communication between the liquid exchange module and the liquid change valve module. The liquid exchange module is configured such that the number of the liquid supply lines in fluid communication between the liquid exchange module and the liquid change valve module is less than the number of liquid circulation lines from the liquid reservoir to the liquid exchange module.

A color changer system for a painting robot comprises a color changer. A plurality of color feed lines are included on an inlet side of the color changer. A common color line is included on an outlet side of the color changer, and is configured to forward paint selected by the color changer to an atomizer. A color bar comprises a plurality of docking points supplied by the color feed lines. A color extractor is configured to selectively dock onto one of the docking points of the color bar and, while docked to the color bar, extract paint from an associated color feed line and supply the extracted paint to the common color line.

A coating agent pump for conveying a coating agent, in particular a paint, an adhesive or a sealing agent. The coating agent pump comprises a pump inlet for admitting the coating agent to be conveyed and a pump outlet for delivering the coating agent conveyed by the coating agent pump. In addition to the pump inlet and the pump outlet, a cleaning opening is provided for cleaning the coating agent pump of the coating agent situated in the coating agent pump.

A coating device comprises at least one application apparatus to discharge a coating agent from at least one coating agent nozzle. The application apparatus is configured to apply an oscillation to at least one of the coating agent and at least one coating agent jet such that at least one of the coating agent and the at least one coating agent jet break up into droplets.

A color changer is provided that includes a base module having at least two input channels and at least one output channel for paint material connectable to each of the at least two input channels. The color changer further includes at least two paint valves, each of the at least two paint valves corresponding to one of the at least two input channels and configured to close the corresponding input channel and to be opened by the application of air pressure, and at least two pilot air channels, each of the at least two pilot air channels corresponding to one of the at least two paint valves and configured to convey air pressure to the corresponding paint valve to open the corresponding paint valve. Each pilot air channel includes a blow hole and a closing device for closing the blow hole.
