Description

Vorrichtung zum Fördern eines elektrisch leitfähigen fluiden Beschichtungsmaterials Device for conveying an electrically conductive fluid coating material
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Fördern eines elektrisch leitfähigen fluiden Beschichtungsmaterials, insbesondere eines Lacks, zu einer auf hohem elektrischen Potential liegenden Applikationseinrichtung, mitThe invention relates to a device for conveying an electrically conductive fluid coating material, in particular a paint, to an application device lying at a high electrical potential

b) durch die Antriebsmittel antreibbaren Fördermitteln, mittels welcher das Beschichtungsmaterial zu der Applikationseinrichtung förderbar ist;b) conveying means drivable by the drive means, by means of which the coating material can be conveyed to the application device;
c) einer Kraftübertragungseinrichtung, über welche die Antriebsmittel zum Antreiben der Fördermittel mit den Fördermitteln gekoppelt sind.c) a power transmission device, via which the drive means for driving the conveying means are coupled to the conveying means.
Derartige Vorrichtungen finden insbesondere in Form von Lackpumpen in der Oberflächentechnik, wie z. B. in der Automobilindustrie, Anwendung, um elektrisch leitfähiges Beschichtungsmaterial zu einer nach dem elektrostatischen Spritzverfahren arbeitenden Applikationseinrichtung, insbesondere einer Spritzglocke, zu fördern.Such devices find particular in the form of paint pumps in surface technology, such. Example, in the automotive industry, application to promote electrically conductive coating material to a working by the electrostatic spraying process application device, in particular an injection molding.
Bei elektrostatischen Spritzverfahren wird das zu versprühende Beschichtungsmaterial, insbesondere ein elektrisch leitfähiger Lack, mittels einer Hochspannungselektrode ionisiert, die über einen Hochspannungsgenerator auf ein hohes elektrisches Potential gebracht wird. Der ionisierte Lack wird dann aufgrund elektrostatischer Kräfte auf den im allgemeinen auf annähernd Massepotential liegenden zu beschichtenden Gegenstand, z.B. eine Fahr- zeugkakarosserie, gezogen.In electrostatic spraying, the coating material to be sprayed, in particular an electrically conductive lacquer, is ionized by means of a high-voltage electrode, which is brought to a high electrical potential via a high-voltage generator. Of the ionized lacquer is then drawn due to electrostatic forces on the generally approximately to ground potential lying object to be coated, for example, a car seat body.
Bekannte Vorrichtungen der eingangs genannten Art umfassen eine über eine Antriebswelle angetriebene Pumpeinheit, wobei die Antriebswelle ihrerseits mittels einer Motor/ Getriebe-Einheit angetrieben wird. Da der Lack elektrisch leitfähig ist, liegt das hohe elektrische Potential an der Hochspannungselektrode innerhalb aller lackführender Leitungen und Kanäle an. Einige im Innern der Pumpeinheit liegende Bauteile werden im Betrieb der Applikationseinrichtung von dem auf hohem elektrischen Potential liegenden Beschichtungsmaterial umströmt, wodurch auch die Pumpeinheit auf das hohe elektrischen Potential der Hochspannungs- elektrode gebracht wird.Known devices of the type mentioned above comprise a driven by a drive shaft pump unit, wherein the drive shaft is in turn driven by a motor / gear unit. Since the paint is electrically conductive, the high electrical potential at the high voltage electrode is located within all paint-carrying lines and channels. Some components lying in the interior of the pump unit are flowed around in the operation of the application device of the coating material lying at high electrical potential, whereby the pump unit is brought to the high electrical potential of the high voltage electrode.
Der Motor und/oder das Getriebe sind üblicherweise geerdet und liegen auf annähernd Massepotential. Um einen einThe motor and / or the gearbox are usually grounded and are at approximately ground potential. To get one
Gefahrenpotential aufweisenden Fluß hoher Ströme von der Pumpeinheit in Richtung auf die Motor/Getriebe-Einheit zu verhindern, sind die Antriebswelle und gegebenenfalls weitere zu dieser gehörende Bauteile, wie z.B. Kupplungen, aus elektrisch nicht leitendem Material hergestellt, mit dem Ziel, eine elektrische Potentialtrennung zwischen der Pumpeinheit und der Motor/Getriebe-Einheit zu gewährleisten.To prevent potential flow of high currents from the pump unit in the direction of the motor / gear unit, are the drive shaft and possibly further belonging to this components, such. Couplings, made of electrically non-conductive material, with the aim of ensuring an electrical potential separation between the pump unit and the motor / gear unit.
Zwar ist so ein unerwünschter Stromfluß zwischen derAlthough such an unwanted current flow between the
Pumpeinheit und dem Motor unterbunden. Ein anderes Problem ergibt sich jedoch daraus, daß es verhältnismäßig lange dauert, bis das hohe elektrische Potential, welches an der Pumpeinheit anliegt, abgebaut ist, wenn der Applika- tionsvorgang beendet ist und die Applikationseinrichtung nicht mehr mit Hochspannung beaufschlagt wird. Dies birgt Gefahren für Personen, welche den Bereich im Umkreis der Pumpeinheit betreten müssen, beispielsweise um Wartungsarbeiten durchzuführen, falls diese Personen nicht aus- reichend lange warten, bis das hohe Potential abgebaut ist.Pump unit and the engine prevented. Another problem arises, however, from the fact that it takes a relatively long time until the high electrical potential applied to the pump unit is degraded when the application process is completed and the application device is no longer subjected to high voltage. This poses a danger for persons who have to enter the area in the vicinity of the pumping unit, for example to carry out maintenance work, if these persons do not wait sufficiently long before the high potential is reduced.
In der Regel benötigt bisher der Potentialabbau insbesondere an der Pumpeinheit etwas mehr als 15 Sekunden. Aus sicherheitstechnischen Gründen muß daher gewährleistet sein, daß der Zutritt einer Person zu einem Bereich in der Nähe der Applikationseinrichtung bzw. der Pumpeinheit nur dann freigegeben wird, wenn keine Gefahr mehr vorliegt und die Pumpeinheit auf annähernd Massepotential liegt. Diese Gewährleistung erfolgt mittels einer baulich recht komplexen Überwachungseinrichtung, die ihrerseits einen hohen Installations- und Wartungsaufwand erfordert.As a rule, the potential reduction, especially at the pumping unit, requires a little more than 15 seconds. For safety reasons, it must therefore be ensured that the access of a person to an area in the vicinity of the application device or the pump unit is only released when there is no longer any danger and the pump unit is at approximately ground potential. This warranty is provided by means of a structurally quite complex monitoring device, which in turn requires a high installation and maintenance.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei welcher ein rascher Potentialabbau an der Vorrichtung sichergestellt ist, so daß eine zusätzliche Überwachung entbehrlich ist, ob die Vorrichtung noch auf zu hohem elektrischen Potential liegt.The object of the invention is to provide a device of the type mentioned, in which a rapid potential reduction is ensured on the device, so that additional monitoring is unnecessary, if the device is still at too high electrical potential.
Diese Ausgabe wird bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daßThis output is achieved in a device of the type mentioned in that
d) eine elektrische Widerstandseinrichtung vorgesehen ist, welche mit den Antriebsmitteln und den Förder- mittein in Kontakt steht und welche die einzige elektrisch leitende Verbindung zwischen den Fördermitteln und den Antriebsmitteln bereitstellt.d) an electrical resistance device is provided, which is in contact with the drive means and the conveyor and which provides the only electrically conductive connection between the conveyor means and the drive means.
Durch diese Anordnung einer elektrischen Widerstandsein- richtung ist eine sonst übliche Potentialtrennung zwischen den Fördermitteln und den Antriebsmitteln bis zu einem gewissen Grad aufgehoben. Die Fördermittel sind zwar elektrisch leitend mit den Antriebsmitteln verbunden. Von den im Betrieb der Applikationseinrichtung auf hohem elektrischen Potential liegenden Fördermitteln hin zu den auf annähernd Massepotential gehaltenen Antriebsmitteln kann Strom jedoch nur in Abhängigkeit von der Größe des elektrischen Widerstandes der elektrischen Widerstandseinrichtung fließen. Somit kann mit einem sehr großen elek- trischen Widerstand, ähnlich wie bei einer vollständigen Potentialtrennung zwischen Fördermitteln und Antriebsmitteln, im Betrieb der Applikationseinrichtung der Fluß hoher Ströme zwischen Fördermitteln und Antriebsmitteln unterbunden werden.By this arrangement of an electrical resistance device is a usual potential separation between the conveyors and the drive means to a certain extent. Although the funding is electrically connected to the drive means. However, current flowing from the operating means of the application device at a high electrical potential to the drive means held at approximately ground potential can flow only as a function of the magnitude of the electrical resistance of the electrical resistance device. Thus, with a very large electrical resistance, similar to a complete potential separation between conveying means and drive means, the flow of high currents between conveying means and drive means can be prevented during operation of the application device.
Gleichzeitig ermöglicht es die elektrische Widerstandseinrichtung, wenn die Hochspannungsversorgung der Applikationseinrichtung unterbrochen wird, dass das hohe elektrische Potential, auf welchem die Fördermittel liegen, relativ schnell abgebaut wird. Abhängig von der Größe des elektrischen Widerstands, den die elektrische Widerstandseinrichtung bereitstellt, kann der Potentialabbau derart schnell erfolgen und ein Zutritt eines Menschen zur Vorrichtung nach einer derart kurzen Zeit gefahrlos möglich sein, daß es aus sicherheitstechnischer Sicht vertretbar ist, auf eine aufwendige Zutrittsüberwachung zu verzichten.At the same time, when the high-voltage supply of the application device is interrupted, the electrical resistance device makes it possible for the high electrical potential, on which the conveying means lie, to dissipate relatively quickly. Depending on the size of the electrical resistance, which provides the electrical resistance device, the potential reduction can be done so quickly and access to the device after such a short time safely possible that it is acceptable from a safety point of view to dispense with a complex access control ,
Vorteilhafte Ausbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.
Es ist insbesondere vorteilhaft, wenn durch die elektrische Widerstandseinrichtung ein elektrischer Widerstand von etwa 10 GΩ, bevorzugt ein elektrischer Widerstand zwischen 9,4 GΩ und 9,8 GΩ, bereitgestellt ist. Auf diese Weise fließt zwischen Fördermitteln und Antriebsmitteln im Betrieb der Applikationseinrichtung nur ein sehr geringer Strom. Darüber hinaus erfolgt der Potentialabbau zwischen Antriebsmittel und Fördermitteln in einem Zeitraum von etwa 2 Sekunden, wenn die Hochspannungsversorgung der Applikationseinrichtung, die in der Größenordnung von 70 kV bis 80 kV bei 50 μA bis 80 μA liegt, unterbrochen wird. Um jegliche Gefahr eines Stromschlages für einen Menschen zu beseitigen, ist es dann beispielsweise ausreichend, den Zugangsweg zu den Fördermitteln mit einfachen techni- sehen Mitteln so auszugestalten, daß diese Zeit überbrückt wird.It is particularly advantageous if an electrical resistance of approximately 10 GΩ, preferably an electrical resistance between 9.4 GΩ and 9.8 GΩ, is provided by the electrical resistance device. In this way flows between conveyor and drive means in Operation of the application device only a very low power. In addition, the potential reduction between the drive means and funding takes place in a period of about 2 seconds, when the high voltage power supply of the application device, which is in the order of 70 kV to 80 kV at 50 uA to 80 uA, is interrupted. To eliminate any risk of electric shock to a person, it is then sufficient, for example, to design the access route to the conveying means with simple technical means in such a way that this time is bridged.
Es ist günstig, wenn die Kraftübertragungseinrichtung die elektrische Widerstandseinrichtung umfaßt, wobei es insbesondere bevorzugt ist, daß die Kraftübertragungseinrichtung eine Antriebswelle mit einem elektrisch nicht leitfähigen Wellenrohr umfaßt, in dessen Innerem die elektrische Widerstandseinrichtung angeordnet ist. Auf diese Weise kann eine bisher üblicherweise schon verwendete hohle Antriebswelle aus elektrisch nicht leitfähigemIt is favorable if the power transmission device comprises the electrical resistance device, wherein it is particularly preferred that the power transmission device comprises a drive shaft with an electrically non-conductive shaft tube, in the interior of which the electrical resistance device is arranged. In this way, a previously commonly used hollow drive shaft made of electrically non-conductive

Aus technischer Sicht ist es grundsätzlich hilfreich, wenn an und für sich bekannte Bauteile verwendet werden können. Daher ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Fördermittel eine Pumpeinheit mit einer Pumpenwelle umfassen, welche mit der Antriebswelle der Kraftübertragungseinrichtung verbunden ist.From a technical point of view, it is generally helpful if components known per se can be used. Therefore, it is advantageous if the conveying means comprise a pump unit with a pump shaft, which is connected to the drive shaft of the power transmission device.
Eine technisch relativ einfache Ausbildung der elektrischen Widerstandseinrichtung ist möglich, wenn die elektrische Widerstandseinrichtung ein elektrisches Widerstandselement umfaßt, welches über einen ersten Verbindungsweg mit den Antriebsmitteln und über einen zweiten Verbindungsweg mit den Fördermitteln elektrisch verbunden ist . Jeder Verbindungsweg kann dabei beispielsweise einfach in Form von elektrisch leitenden Kabeln mit entsprechenden Anschlüssen ausgebildet sein.A technically relatively simple design of the electrical resistance device is possible if the electrical resistance device comprises an electrical resistance element, which via a first connection path with the drive means and via a second connection path with the conveying means is electrically connected. Each connection path can be designed, for example, simply in the form of electrically conductive cables with corresponding connections.

Die Lackpumpe 18 umfaßt einen geerdeten und so stets im wesentlichen auf Massepotential gehaltenen Motor 44, an den ein Getriebe 46 angeflanscht ist. Das Getriebe 46 ist mit einer Antriebswelle 48 verbunden, welche die Motorkraft auf die Pumpenwelle 40 überträgt.The paint pump 18 comprises a grounded and thus always substantially at ground potential held motor 44 to which a gear 46 is flanged. The transmission 46 is connected to a drive shaft 48, which transmits the engine power to the pump shaft 40.
Dazu ist auf einen außerhalb des Gehäuses 42 der Pumpeinheit 24 liegenden Befestigungsabschnitt 50 der Pumpenwelle 40 ein erstes hülsenförmiges Nabenteil 52 einer Bogenzahn- kupplung 54 aufgeschoben (siehe Figur 2) . Die Fixierung des Nabenteils 52 an der Pumpenwelle 40 erfolgt in an und für sich bekannter Weise mittels einer Paßfeder 56, welche zwischen dem Befestigungsabschnitt 50 der Pumpenwelle 40 und der Innenmantelfläche des Nabenteils 52 angeordnet ist. Gewindestift 58 ist durch eine radiale Gewindebohrung 60 des Nabenteils 52 geführt und drückt gegen die Paßfeder 56.For this purpose, a first sleeve-shaped hub part 52 of a curved-tooth coupling 54 is pushed onto a fastening section 50 of the pump shaft 40 lying outside the housing 42 of the pump unit 24 (see FIG. 2). The fixation of the hub portion 52 on the pump shaft 40 takes place in a manner known per se by means of a key 56, which is arranged between the mounting portion 50 of the pump shaft 40 and the inner circumferential surface of the hub portion 52. Grub screw 58 is guided by a radial threaded bore 60 of the hub part 52 and presses against the key 56.
Das Nabenteil 52 sitzt eingreifend in einer Seite eines Taschenteils 62 der Bogenzahnkupplung 54, in dessen anderer Seite ein zweites hülsenförmiges Nabenteil 64 eingreifend einsitzt. Das zweite Nabenteil 64 ist auf ein Kupplungsglied 66 aufgesetzt. Die Befestigung des Kupplungsgliedes 66 in dem Nabenteil 64 geschieht auf die gleiche Weise, wie die Befestigung der Pumpenwelle 40 in dem ersten Nabenteil 52 der Bogenzahnkupplung 54. Das Kupplungsglied 66 trägt einen umlaufenden Konterkragen 68, wobei zwischen diesem und dem von dem zweiten Nabenteil 64 der Bogenzahn- kupplung 54 wegweisenden Ende des Kupplungsgliedes 66 ein Außengewinde 70 vorgesehen ist. Auf dieses ist ein Wellen- röhr 72 aufgeschraubt, welches dazu in einem entsprechenden Endbereich ein Innengewinde 74 aufweist. Das Wellenrohr 72 ist so weit auf das Kupplungsglied 66 aufgeschraubt, daß es mit seiner Stirnseite gegen den Konterkragen 68 des Kupplungsgliedes 66 anliegt.The hub part 52 engages engaging in one side of a pocket portion 62 of the gear coupling 54, in the other side of a second sleeve-shaped hub portion 64 engaging seated. The second hub part 64 is mounted on a coupling member 66. The attachment of the coupling member 66 in the hub portion 64 is done in the same manner as the attachment of the pump shaft 40 in the first hub portion 52 of the gear coupling 54. The coupling member 66 carries a circumferential counter-collar 68, wherein between this and that of the second hub portion 64 of the Bogenzahn- coupling 54 pioneering end of the coupling member 66, an external thread 70 is provided. A shaft tube 72, which has an internal thread 74 in a corresponding end region, is screwed onto this shaft. The shaft tube 72 is screwed onto the coupling member 66 so far that it abuts with its end face against the counter-collar 68 of the coupling member 66.
In dem dem Kupplungsglied 66 gegenüberliegenden Endbereich weist das Wellenrohr 72 ein Innengewinde 76 auf und ist damit auf ein erstes Nabenteil 78 einer Flanschkupplung 80 aufgeschraubt. Hierzu weist das erste Nabenteil 78 eine Anschlußhülse 82 auf, welche ein zum Innengewinde 76 des Wellenrohres 72 komplementäres Außengewinde 84 trägt. Die Anschlußhülse 82 geht einstückig in eine Flanschscheibe 86 über, gegen die das auf die Anschlußhülse 82 aufgeschraubte Wellenrohr 72 anliegt.In the end region opposite the coupling member 66, the shaft tube 72 has an internal thread 76 and is thus screwed onto a first hub part 78 of a flange coupling 80. For this purpose, the first hub part 78 has a connecting sleeve 82 which carries an external thread 84 complementary to the internal thread 76 of the shaft tube 72. The connecting sleeve 82 merges integrally into a flange disk 86, against which the shaft tube 72 screwed onto the connecting sleeve 82 abuts.
Das erste Nabenteil 78 der Flanschkupplung 80 ist mit einem zweiten Nabenteil 88 der Flanschkupplung 80 verschraubt. Hierzu weist das zweite Nabenteil 88 eine zur Flanschscheibe 86 des ersten Nabenteils 78 passende Flanschscheibe 90 auf. Diese geht in eine Aufnahmehülse 92 über, in welcher axial die Ausgangswelle des Getriebes 46 eingeschoben werden kann, welche der Übersichtlichkeit halber in den Figuren nicht gezeigt ist. Die Fixierung des zweiten Nabenteils 88 der Flanschkupplung 80 auf der Welle des Getriebes 46 erfolgt wieder in an und für sich be- kannter Weise mittels einer Paßfeder und eines Gewindestifts, welcher durch eine radiale Bohrung in der Auf- nahmehülse 92 des zweiten Nabenteils 88 der Flanschkupplung 80 geführt ist. Die Paßfeder, der Gewindestift und die radiale Bohrung zur Fixierung des zweiten Nabenteils 88 der Flanschkupplung 80 sind nicht eigens mit einem Bezugszeichen versehen.The first hub portion 78 of the flange coupling 80 is bolted to a second hub portion 88 of the flange coupling 80. For this purpose, the second hub part 88 has a flange disc 90, which is suitable for the flange disk 86 of the first hub part 78. This goes into a receiving sleeve 92, in which axially the output shaft of the transmission 46 can be inserted, which is not shown in the figures for clarity. The fixation of the second hub part 88 of the flange coupling 80 on the shaft of the gear 46 takes place again in and of itself. way known means of a key and a threaded pin, which is guided through a radial bore in the receiving sleeve 92 of the second hub portion 88 of the flange 80. The feather key, the threaded pin and the radial bore for fixing the second hub part 88 of the flange coupling 80 are not specifically provided with a reference numeral.
Wie insbesondere in Figur 2 zu erkennen ist, setzt sich die Innenbohrung der Anschlußhülse 82 des ersten Nabenteils 78 in dessen Flanschscheibe 86 fort, so daß das erste Nabenteil 78 der Flanschkupplung 80 insgesamt eine axiale Durchgangsbohrung 94 aufweist. In entsprechender Weise hat auch das zweite Nabenteil 88 der Flanschkupplung 80 eine axiale Durchgangsbohrung; diese ist mit 96 bezeichnet. Bei aneinander befestigten Nabenteilen 78 und 88 der Flanschkupplung 80 verlaufen die Durchgangsbohrung 94 des ersten Nabenteils 78 und die Durchgangsbohrung 96 des zweiten Nabenteils 88 koaxial zueinander.As can be seen in particular in FIG. 2, the inner bore of the connecting sleeve 82 of the first hub part 78 continues in its flange disk 86, so that the first hub part 78 of the flange coupling 80 has an axial through-bore 94 as a whole. Similarly, the second hub portion 88 of the flange 80 has an axial through hole; this is designated 96. With hub portions 78 and 88 of the flange coupling 80 secured together, the throughbore 94 of the first hub portion 78 and the throughbore 96 of the second hub portion 88 are coaxial with one another.
In den Durchgangsbohrungen 94, 96 der Flanschkupplung 80 liegt ein elektrisch leitender Kontaktstift 98 in der Weise ein, daß er mit einem ersten Endbereich 100 in der Durchgangsbohrung 94 des ersten Nabenteils 78 und mit einem zweiten Endbereich 102 in der Durchgangsbohrung 96 des zweiten Nabenteils 88 der Flanschkupplung 80 liegt.In the through-holes 94, 96 of the flange coupling 80 is an electrically conductive contact pin 98 in such a way that it with a first end portion 100 in the through hole 94 of the first hub portion 78 and a second end portion 102 in the through hole 96 of the second hub portion 88 of Flange coupling 80 is located.
Der zweite Endbereich 102 des Kontaktstifts 98 trägt einen umlaufenden Kragen 104, gegen den eine von der Seite des ersten Endbereichs 100 des Kontaktstifts 98 aufgeschobene Schraubenfeder 106 aus einem elektrisch leitfähigen Material anliegt. Die Schraubenfeder 106 erstreckt sich im entspannten Zustand über das freie Ende des ersten Endbereichs 100 des Kontaktstifts 98 hinaus. Das von dem Kontaktstift 98 wegweisende Ende der Schraubenfeder 106 liegt an einem Kontaktelement 108 an, welches in die dazu mit einem Innengewinde versehene Durchgangsbohrung 94 des ersten Nabenteils 78 der Flanschkupplung 80 eingeschraubt ist, und zwar von der der Flanschscheibe 86 gegenüber- liegenden Seite des ersten Nabenteils 78 her. Das Kontaktelement 108 seinerseits weist eine von außen zugängliche Aufnahme 110 auf, in welcher ein Stecker 112 sitzt, der über eine im Inneren des Wellenrohrs 72 verlaufende Leitung 114 mit einem Ende eines Widerstandselements 116 verbunden ist, welches sich im Inneren des Wellenrohrs 72 befindet. Das gegenüberliegende Ende des Widerstandselements 116 ist über eine weitere im Inneren des Wellenrohrs 72 verlaufende Leitung 118 mit dem Kupplungsglied 66 an dem der Flanschkupplung 80 gegenüberliegenden Ende des Wellen- röhrs 72 verbunden.The second end portion 102 of the contact pin 98 carries a circumferential collar 104 against which abuts a pushed from the side of the first end portion 100 of the contact pin 98 coil spring 106 made of an electrically conductive material. The coil spring 106 extends in the relaxed state beyond the free end of the first end portion 100 of the contact pin 98 addition. The direction away from the contact pin 98 end of the coil spring 106th abuts against a contact element 108, which is screwed into the through-hole 94 of the first hub part 78 of the flange coupling 80 provided with an internal thread, namely from the side of the first hub part 78 opposite the flange disk 86. The contact element 108 in turn has an externally accessible receptacle 110, in which a plug 112 is seated, which is connected via a running inside the shaft tube 72 line 114 to one end of a resistive element 116, which is located in the interior of the shaft tube 72. The opposite end of the resistance element 116 is connected via a further inside the shaft tube 72 extending line 118 with the coupling member 66 at the opposite end of the flange 80 of the shaft tube 72.
Koaxial zu seiner Achse weist das Kupplungsglied 66 auf seiner ins Innere der Bogenzahnkupplung 54 weisenden Stirnfläche eine gestufte Sackbohrung 120 auf, in deren innenliegendem, den kleineren Durchmesser aufweisenden, Abschnitt ein Endabschnitt eines elektrisch leitenden Kontaktstifts 122 verläuft. Ein von diesem Endabschnitt durch einen radial überstehenden Bund getrennter Abschnitt des Kontaktstifts 122 ist von einer Schrauben- feder 124 aus einem elektrisch leitfähigen Material umgeben, die mit einem Ende an dem Bund des Kontaktstifts 122 und mit dem gegenüberliegenden Ende im Inneren des ersten Nabenteils 52 der Bogenzahnkupplung 54 an der Stirnfläche des Befestigungsabschnitts 50 der Pumpenwelle 40 anliegt.Coaxially to its axis, the coupling member 66 on its inside of the gear coupling 54 facing end face on a stepped blind bore 120, in the inner, having the smaller diameter portion, an end portion of an electrically conductive contact pin 122 extends. A section of the contact pin 122 which is separated from this end section by a radially protruding collar is surrounded by a helical spring 124 made of an electrically conductive material which has one end on the collar of the contact pin 122 and with the opposite end in the interior of the first hub part 52 of FIG Curved tooth coupling 54 abuts against the end face of the mounting portion 50 of the pump shaft 40.
Durch die federbeaufschlagten Kontaktstifte 98 und 122 ist gewährleistet, daß bei einer Bewegung der Komponenten der Bogenzahnkupplung 54 in axialer Richtung die elektrisch leitende Verbindung zwischen der Pumpeinheit 24 bzw. deren Pumpenwelle 40 und dem Getriebe 46 bzw. dem Motor 44 über das Widerstandselement 116 stets aufrechterhalten wird.By the spring-loaded contact pins 98 and 122 it is ensured that in a movement of the components of the curved tooth coupling 54 in the axial direction, the electrically conductive connection between the pump unit 24 and the pump shaft 40 and the gear 46 and the motor 44th is always maintained via the resistance element 116.
Von den zwischen dem Getriebe 46 und der Pumpeinheit 24 vorliegenden Bauteilen der Antriebswelle 48 ist wenigstens das Wellenrohr 72 aus einem elektrisch nicht leitfähigen Material hergestellt. Darüber hinaus ist das Wellenrohr 72 mit einem elektrisch nicht leitenden Füll- material , wie beispielsweise einem Kunststoff oder einem Harz, gefüllt, welches das Widerstandselement 116 und die von diesem ausgehenden Leitungen 114 und 118 einschließt. Die zum Kupplungsglied 66 führende Leitung 118 im Wellenrohr 72 kann mit dem Kupplungsglied 66 über einen Stecker in ähnlicher Weise verbunden sein, wie dies für die Leitung 114 und deren Verbindung zum Kontaktelement 108 beschrieben wurde .Of the present between the gear 46 and the pump unit 24 components of the drive shaft 48 at least the shaft tube 72 is made of an electrically non-conductive material. In addition, the corrugated tube 72 is filled with an electrically non-conductive filling material, such as a plastic or a resin, which includes the resistive element 116 and the lines 114 and 118 emanating therefrom. Leading the coupling member 66 line 118 in the shaft tube 72 may be connected to the coupling member 66 via a plug in a similar manner as has been described for the line 114 and its connection to the contact element 108.
Das elektrische Widerstandselement 116 ist so ausgewählt, daß es einen elektrischen Widerstand von etwa 10 GΩ, insbesondere einen elektrischen Widerstand zwischen 9,4 GΩ und 9,8 GΩ, bereitstellt.The electrical resistance element 116 is selected to provide an electrical resistance of about 10 GΩ, in particular an electrical resistance between 9.4 GΩ and 9.8 GΩ.
Über das elektrische Widerstandselement 116 ist die Pumpeinheit 24 leitend mit dem Getriebe 46 und darüber mit dem Motor 44 verbunden. Aufgrund des hochohmigen elektrischen Widerstands des elektrischen Widerstandselements 116 kann von der im Betrieb der Applikationseinrichtung 10 auf hohem elektrischen Potential liegenden Pumpeinheit 24 hin zu den auf annähernd Massepotential gehaltenen Motor 44 nur ein ungefährlicher geringer Strom fließen.About the electrical resistance element 116, the pump unit 24 is conductively connected to the transmission 46 and above with the motor 44. Due to the high-resistance electrical resistance of the electrical resistance element 116, only a small amount of harmless current can flow from the pump unit 24 which is at high electrical potential during operation of the application device 10 to the motor 44 which is held at approximately ground potential.
Wenn die Hochspannungsversorgung der Applikationseinrichtung 10 durch den Hochspannungsgenerator 14 unterbrochen wird, wird das hohe elektrische Potential, welches an der Pumpeinheit 24 anliegt, relativ schnell über den auf annähernd Massepotential gehaltenen Motor 44 abgebaut. When the high-voltage supply of the application device 10 is interrupted by the high-voltage generator 14, the high electrical potential which is applied to the pump unit 24 is reduced relatively quickly via the motor 44 held at approximately ground potential.
