Turbine motor of a rotary atomizer
First Claim
1. A turbine motor for use as a drive for a bell-shaped plate of a rotary atomizer comprising:
- a housing;
a drive shaft of said motor a having a bearing unit;
a turbine wheel drivably arranged upon said drive shaft rotatably disposed within a drive channel of said housing and having blade elements disposed upon a carrier surface;
an inlet for providing a driving gas through said housing and into driving contact with said blade elements of said turbine wheel; and
a shielding element positioned adjacent said blade elements thereby limiting said drive channel.

Abstract
A turbine, e.g., with a blade arrangement, which receives an air flow in the radial direction and which is located on a carrier surface of the turbine wheel, is used as a drive motor for a rotary atomizer. The drive channel, which contains the turbine blades and which is limited by the carrier surface, is also closed on its other side by a cover element, which is attached to the turbine wheel and which rotates with the wheel for increasing efficiency. For an additional increase in efficiency, the inlet for the drive air of the turbine is configured as an ultrasonic nozzle with a cross section that expands continuously up to the opening.
