System for a spray booth

Abstract

Provided is a system for a spraying booth, including a spraying booth and at least one filter with at least one VOC detector, the system further including a central database where at least data of the VOC detector are stored, whereby is achieved that the value of the measurements can be accessed and controlled centrally, either by the customer's own technicians or by the supplier's technicians, by a communication unit.

Claims

1. The use of a system for a spraying booth for treating cars, wherein the system comprises: a spraying booth, wherein the spraying booth is applied an air pressure, which is lower than an air pressure in the air surrounding the spraying booth, and the spraying booth comprises at least one filter having at least one VOC detector, a communication unit having a data connection, at least one motor, a ventilation system, at least one LED light, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, and a sprayer; a database coupled to the communication unit via the data connection; and a controller coupled to the database via the communication unit and coupled to the spraying booth, wherein use of the system comprises operating the controller to: control operation of the database, the VOC detector, the at least one motor, the ventilation system, the at least one LED light, the pressure sensor, and the temperature sensor; measure a VOC level in the spraying booth and send VOC level data containing the VOC level to the database for storage; receive operation information data from the spraying booth and send the operation information data to the database for storage, wherein the operation information data includes operation information of the at least one motor, the ventilation system, the at least one LED light, and the sprayer, spraying booth pressure and temperature readings; spraying times; and drying times; and enact an emergency stop to halt all moving parts of the spraying booth, and the system sends warnings regarding the condition of the at least one filter.

2. The use of the system according to claim 1, wherein the spraying booth is a mobile spraying booth for treating cars.

3. The use of the system according to claim 2, further comprising operating the spraying booth to perform a treatment comprising a following sequence of functions in succession: grinding, priming, spraying, and hardening.

4. The use of the system according to claim 3, wherein the operation information data includes an amount of time each function of the sequence of functions of the treatment is performed and the quantity of paint, lacquer and other consumables used in the treatment.

5. The use of the system according to claim 4, wherein use of paint, lacquer and other consumables is regulated by the controller based on the operation information data stored in the database.

6. The use of the system according to claim 1, wherein the database is cloud-based.
