An automated drone-based surface treatment material delivery system includes a drone having a body, at least one propeller rotatably supported by the body, at least one propeller motor supported by the body and configured to selectively apply motive power to the at least one propeller, and a controller supported by the body and configured to control a flight path of the drone at least by manipulating a speed of the at least one propeller. The drone also has a rotary atomizer supported by the body for movement therewith. The rotary atomizer includes a rotating dispersion structure configured to disperse a surface treatment material from a material supply.

A nozzle of a spray gun includes an outer part connected to the spray gun. The outer part includes a neck portion formed therein. A neck hole is formed through the neck portion. Multiple paths are defined through the neck portion. The neck portion divides the inner space of the outer part into a first room and a second room. A tube extends through the neck hole and the tube. A swing member is located in the first room and connected to the rear end of the tube. An inner part is located in the second room and connected to the front end of the tube. High pressure fluid is introduced into the first room to swing the swing member. The tube and the inner part swing with the swing member. The high pressure fluid enters into the second room via the paths and spray out from the outer part.

A method for applying material to a bicycle frame includes determining, via a controller, at least one physical dimension of the bicycle frame. The method also includes determining, via the controller, a distance setting between at least two material applicators. In addition, the method includes determining, via the controller, a pattern size of material sprayed onto the bicycle frame by each of the at least two material applicators. Further, the method includes adjusting, via the controller, a position setting of the at least two material applicators based at least in part on the distance setting and pattern size. Moreover, the method includes applying, via the controller, material onto the bicycle frame through the at least two material applicators.

The coating machine is provided with an air motor (3), a rotational shaft (4) that is rotatably supported by the air motor (3), a feed tube (5) that extends to a tip end of the rotational shaft (4) through the inside of the rotational shaft (4), a rotary atomizing head (6) that is mounted to the tip end of the rotational shaft (4), and a shaping air ring (7) that surrounds an outer periphery of the rotary atomizing head (6) and an axial tip end of which is arranged in back of a paint releasing edge (6D) of the rotary atomizing head (6). The shaping air ring (7) includes a great number of first shaping air spurting holes (9), and a great number of second shaping air spurting holes (10). An inner diameter dimension (d1) of the first shaping air spurting hole (9) is set to be larger than an inner diameter dimension (d2) of the second shaping air spurting hole (10). The number (N2) of the second shaping air spurting holes (10) is set to be smaller than the number (N1) of the first shaping air spurting holes (9).

The invention relates to an apparatus (100) for disinfecting at least one room, in particular for one or more persons, preferably a dwelling room, storage room, cooling room or treatment room, for example a treatment room of a building, in particular a sickroom, a patient room and/or an operating room, with a rotatable bell cup (1) for atomising a disinfectant, a hollow drive shaft (10) for driving the bell cup (1), and a housing (11) in which a drive unit (2) for driving the drive shaft (10) is accommodated and preferably the drive shaft (10) is accommodated. The apparatus (100) is particularly characterised in that the housing (11) has a plurality of cooling ribs (12), and/or the drive shaft (10) is provided with a labyrinth seal (13), preferably in order to prevent unwanted penetration of liquid into the housing (11).

An automated drone-based surface treatment material delivery system includes a drone having a body, at least one propeller rotatably supported by the body, at least one propeller motor supported by the body and configured to selectively apply motive power to the at least one propeller, and a controller supported by the body and configured to control a flight path of the drone at least by manipulating a speed of the at least one propeller. The drone also has a rotary atomizer supported by the body for movement therewith. The rotary atomizer includes a rotating dispersion structure configured to disperse a surface treatment material from a material supply.

The disclosure relates to a rotary atomizer for applying a spray jet of a coating agent (e.g. paint) to a component (e.g. motor vehicle body component). The disclosure provides that the construction dimensions of the rotary atomizer are coordinated in such a way that the air pressure at the outlet opening of the paint nozzle during operation is lower than the air pressure in the nozzle chamber of the bell cup and in the external rinsing channels in order to prevent a backflow of the coating agent from the outlet opening of the paint nozzle backwards in the direction of the nozzle chamber due to the pressure difference.

The disclosure relates to an extended-range spray applicator, and methods of making and use thereof, for dosing vaccines and/or probiotics to avian animals at a distance.

This skirt (20) is intended to equip a coating product rotary projector. The skirt (20) has a plurality of air ejection nozzles (40, 42, 44, 46) arranged in said skirt (20) to eject jets of air forming shaping air suitable for shaping the jets of coating product, said air ejection nozzles (40, 42, 44, 46) comprising at least three separate series of nozzles (41, 43, 45, 47) each made up of a plurality of air ejection nozzles (40, 42, 44, 46) fluidly connected to a shared supply chamber, specific to said series of nozzles (41, 43, 45, 47).

A method for cleaning a paint spray gun, which comprises a rotating atomization head to apply a coating material while rotating and an outer circumferential tube to cover the exterior of the rotating atomization head, has a cleaning solution application step for applying a cleaning solution to the external face of the outer circumferential tube, and a rotating atomization head rotation step for generating a rotational flow between the rotating atomization head and the outer circumferential tube by rotating the rotating atomization head. The cleaning solution flowing down the external face of the outer circumferential tube applied in the cleaning solution application step penetrates between the rotating atomization head 5 and the outer circumferential tube by way of the rotational flow. Such method uses a small amount of cleaning solution for cleaning external and internal faces of the outer circumferential tube and the external face of a rotating atomization head.
