DRYER FOR TECHNICAL ITEMS, PARTICULARLY FOR PAINTED MOTOR VEHICLE BODIES

Abstract

In a drier for industrial articles, in particular for painted motor vehicle bodies, comprising at least one booth for the industrial articles and for drying tools, the booth of the drier is formed by walls arranged at a distance from components near the outside of the booth and other than the support feet of the booth. This drier can keep the heat introduced into the booth longer, preventing radiation losses, in particular.

Claims

A dryer for technical items, particularly for painted motor vehicle bodies, comprising at least one cabin for the technical items and for drying tools, wherein the cabin is constructed from walls which in each case have a spacing from components which are brought closer to the cabin from outside and differ from the installation feet of the cabin.

2. The dryer according to claim 1, wherein sealing elements are provided at the abutting edges of mutually adjacent walls of the cabin.

3. The dryer according to claim 2, wherein the sealing elements comprise folded metal sheets.

4. The dryer according to claim 1, wherein components brought from the outside closer to the cabin are combined to form a supporting frame, which has frame sections surrounding the cabin.

5. The dryer according to claim 4, wherein the supporting frame is framed with flat elements at least in certain sections.

6. The dryer according to claim 1, wherein installation feet are arranged on the outer side of the wall which is used as the floor of the cabin.

7. The dryer according to claim 6, wherein installation mounts are provided on frame sections of the supporting frame assigned to the installation feet.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] The dryer in FIG. 1 has a cabin 1 with a square cross section. The body 2 of a motor vehicle is guided through this cabin 1, corresponding guide devices 3 are used for this. Drying tools 4 are assigned to the guide path of the body 2 through the cabin 1.

[0019] The cabin 1 is constructed from walls 5, 5′. The walls 5, 5′ are self-supporting, they do not approach components arranged outside of the cabin 1.

[0020] These components are formed by a supporting frame 6. The supporting frame 6 has frame sections 7, 7′. An air gap is formed in each case between a frame section 7, 7′ and the associated wall 5, 5′. This air gap is only interrupted in the region of installation feet 8 of the cabin 1, cf. FIG. 4.

[0021] FIGS. 2 and 3 show corner constructions of the cabin 1 and of the supporting frame 6. Walls 5 and frame sections 7 do not abut, there is the air gap surrounding the cabin 1. In this case, both the walls 5 and the frame sections 7 are equipped with thermal insulation, the frame sections 7 can accordingly carry insulated facing boards with an outer skin. FIGS. 2 and 3 also show that sealing elements 12 are arranged on the abutting edges of mutually adjacent walls 5, 5′.

[0022] FIG. 4 shows the installation feet 8. The installation feet 8 are arranged on the wall 5′ of the cabin 1. The installation feet are installed on the frame section T of the supporting frame 6, installation mounts 10 are provided for this. The installation mounts 10 in each case have a tray design, they are in this case fastened on the frame section 7. Insulation 11 is introduced into the installation mounts 10.

[0023] All of the features mentioned in the preceding description and in the claims can be combined in any desired selection with the features of the independent claim. The disclosure of the invention is therefore not limited to the described or claimed feature combinations, rather all sensible feature combinations in the context of the invention are to be considered as disclosed.
