Abstract

A powder coating cabin for a powder coating installation comprises a flat floor section arranged horizontally or inclined, and a blow-off nozzle for blowing off powder that has settled on the floor section. According to the invention the blow-off nozzle is movably arranged, and in particular preferably parallel to the floor section. As a result of the movability a relatively large floor section can be freed from powder very effectively using only one blow-off nozzle.

Claims

1. A powder coating cabin for a powder coating installation, with a flat floor section arranged horizontally or inclined and with a blow-off nozzle for blowing off powder that has settled on the floor section, wherein the blow-off nozzle is movably arranged.

2. The powder coating cabin according to claim 1, wherein the blow-off nozzle is movable parallel to the floor section.

3. The powder coating cabin of claim 1, wherein the shortest distance between an outlet opening of the blow-off nozzle and the floor section is less than 5 cm.

4. The powder coating cabin of claim 1, wherein the blow-off nozzle can swivel about a horizontal and/or vertical pivotal axis.

5. The powder coating cabin of claim 1, wherein the blow-off nozzle is movable parallel to a transporting direction towards objects to be coated.

6. The powder coating cabin of claim 5 at least two blow-off nozzles are present, whose movement paths run parallel to one another.

7. The powder coating cabin of claim 1, wherein the movement path of the blow-off nozzle is arranged in a transition region between the floor section and a vertical side wall of the powder coating cabin.

8. The powder coating cabin of claim 1, wherein at least one blow-off nozzle is movably arranged on each longitudinal side of the powder coating cabin.

9. The powder coating cabin of claim 1, wherein the movement path of the blow-off nozzle runs at least approximately in the middle between vertical side walls of the powder coating cabin.

10. The powder coating cabin of claim 1, wherein the blow-off nozzle projects out from a slit at least over a part of the possible movement path.

11. The powder coating cabin of claim 10, wherein the slit is covered by an elastic sealing strip, which can be displaced or penetrated by the blow-off nozzle.

12. The powder coating cabin of claim 10, wherein the slit is formed between floor and wall sections of different inclinations.

13. The powder coating cabin of claim 1, wherein the floor section adjoins a suction channel for aspirating powder, and that the suction channel is arranged relative to a movement path of the blow-off nozzle in such a way that the said blow-off nozzle can blow powder, which has fallen onto the floor section, in the direction of the suction channel.

14. The powder coating cabin of claim 1, wherein the suction channel is to some extent covered over its whole length by a covering in such a way that suction slits remain between the covering and adjoining horizontal floor sections.

15. The powder coating cabin of claim 14, wherein the covering is secured in a tiltable manner.

16. The powder coating cabin of claim 14, wherein the covering has a convexly outwardly curved outer surface.

17. The powder coating cabin of claim 16, further comprising a ridge line of the outer surface runs at the same height as the horizontal floor sections or at most 10 cm underneath the horizontal floor sections.

18. The powder coating cabin of claim 15, wherein the covering has a convexly outwardly curved outer surface.

19. The powder coating cabin of claim 16, further comprising a ridge line of the outer surface runs at the same height as the horizontal floor sections or at most 10 cm underneath the horizontal floor sections.
