Abstract

A coating device and a washing method for its nozzle are provided. The coating device including a barrel, a nozzle connected with the barrel, and a waste sump provided below the nozzle, wherein the coating device further includes a washing bath and a washing component, the washing bath is provided at a side of the waste sump, and the washing component is provided in the washing bath, and is configured to inject washing liquid and cleaning gas to the nozzle to wash the nozzle when the nozzle is moved to the top of the washing bath.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A coating device comprising a barrel, a nozzle connected with the barrel, a waste sump and a washing bath and a washing component, wherein:
the washing bath is provided at a side of the waste sump, and the nozzle is configured such that it can be positioned above the washing bath or the waste sump;
the washing component is provided in the washing bath, and is configured to discharge washing liquid and cleaning gas to the nozzle to wash the nozzle when the nozzle is moved to a position above the washing bath;
the washing component comprises a fork shaped bracket with two fingers, wherein the two fingers are provided with liquid outlets and gas outlets at ends thereof, wherein the liquid outlets are configured to discharge dilute liquid, and wherein the gas outlets are configured to discharge the cleaning gas; and
wherein the washing bath is provided with a guide rail therein, the guide rail is extended in a same direction as the washing bath, the fork shaped bracket is connected with the guide rail by a connection component, and the connection component is configured so that the fork shaped bracket is reciprocated along the guide rail.

2. The coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the connection component is configured so that the fork shaped bracket is capable of rotating from a state parallel with the guide rail to a state perpendicular to the guide rail.

3. The coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the two fingers of the fork shaped bracket are spaced by a distance larger than a maximum width of a cross section of the nozzle.

4. The coating device according to claim 2 , wherein when the nozzle is located above the fork shaped bracket and the fork shaped bracket is in the state perpendicular to the guide rail, the two fingers of the fork shaped bracket are spaced from both sides of the nozzle by a distance of 3 to 7 mm.

5. The coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the connection component is a running transmission shaft.

6. The coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the washing bath is extended in a direction parallel with a direction in which the waste sump is extended.

7. The coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid outlets and the gas outlets are provided in sidewalls of the two fingers.
