Abstract

This rotary atomizing head used in a rotary atomizing head type painting device is provided with: an atomizing head main body formed in a bell shape or a cup shape; an attachment part which is connected to the atomizing head main body and attaches the atomizing head main body to a motor rotary shaft of the rotary atomizing head type painting device; and a resin mold in which an IC tag containing unique information about the rotary atomizing head stored therein is embedded, and which is attached to the attachment part, wherein the attachment part can have a prescribed structure, the resin mold is attached to the attachment part through a prescribed method, and the IC tag is embedded in the resin mold such that the surface of an embedded coil antenna adopts a prescribed state.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A rotary atomizing head used in a rotary atomizing head type painting device, the rotary atomizing head comprising:
an atomizing head main body formed in a bell shape or a cup shape;
an attachment part which is connected to the atomizing head main body and attaches the atomizing head main body to a motor rotary shaft of the rotary atomizing head type painting device; and
a resin mold in which an IC tag containing unique information about the rotary atomizing head stored therein is embedded and which is attached to the attachment part,
wherein a fit in structure fitting the renin mold to the attachment part is provided, and the IC tag is embedded in the resin mold,
wherein the attachment part has a female screw structure and has a groove-shaped cutout portion formed at such an angle that the cutout portion does not pass through a cylindrical center of a female screw portion,
wherein the resin mold is fitted in the cutout portion of the attachment part, and
wherein the IC tag is embedded in the resin mold such that a surface of an embedded coil antenna is parallel to or makes a predetermined inclination angle with a cross section of the cutout portion.

2. A rotary atomizing head used in a rotary atomizing head type painting device, the rotary atomizing head comprising:
an atomizing head main body formed in a bell-shape or a cup shape;
an attachment part which is connected to the atomizing head main body and attaches the atomizing head main body to a motor rotary shaft of the rotary atomizing head type painting device; and
a resin mold in which an IC tag containing unique information about the rotary atomizing head stored therein is embedded and which is attached to the attachment part,
wherein a fit in structure fitting the resin mold to the attachment art is provided, and the IC tag is embedded in the rein mold,
wherein the attachment part has a male screw structure and has a groove-shaped cutout portion formed at such a position that the cutout portion does not pass through a center of a male screw portion,
wherein the min mold is fitted in the cutout portion of the attachment part, and
wherein the IC tag is embedded in the resin mold such that a surface of an embedded coil antenna is parallel to or makes a predetermined inclination angle with a cross section of the cutout portion.

3. A rotary atomizing head used in a rotary atomizing head type painting device, the rotary atomizing head comprising:
an atomizing head main body formed in a bell shape or a cup shape;
an attachment part which is connected to the atomizing head main body and attaches the atomizing head main body to a motor rotary shaft of the rotary atomizing head type panting device; and
a resin mold in which an IC tag containing unique information about the rotary atomizing head stored therein is embedded and which is attached to the attachment part,
wherein a fit in structure fitting the resin mold to the attachment art is provided, and the IC tag is embedded in the resin mold,
wherein the min mold is fitted to an outer periphery of the attachment part, and
wherein the IC tag is embedded in the resin mold such that a surface of an embedded coil antenna is perpendicular to a circumferential direction along an outer periphery of the min mold.

4. The rotary atomizing head according to claim 3 , further comprising
a fixing means which fixes the resin mold to the attachment part by sandwiching the min mold between the fixing means and the atomizing head main body.

5. The rotary atomizing head according to claim 4 ,
wherein the fixing means is made of metal.

6. A rotary atomizing head managing system composed of: a rotary atomizing head used in a rotary atomizing head type panting device; and a management device which manages the rotary atomizing head,
wherein the rotary atomizing head comprises:
an atomizing head main body formed in a bell shape or a cup shape;
an attachment part which is connected to the atomizing head main body and attaches the atomizing head main body to a motor rotary shaft of the rotary atomizing head type painting device; and
a resin mold in which an IC tag containing unique information about the rotary atomizing head stored therein is embedded and which is attached to the attachment part, and wherein the management device comprises:
an IC tag communication means for executing communication with the IC tag; and
a determination means for determining whether or not the rotary atomizing head is a usable component, based on the unique information about the rotary atomizing head stored in the IC tag which information is obtained by the IC tag communication means,

wherein, in the rotary atomizing head,
the resin mold is fitted to an outer periphery of the attachment part, and
the IC tag is embedded in the resin mold such that a surface of an embedded coil antenna is perpendicular to a circumferential direction along an outer periphery of the resin mold,

wherein the management device further comprises
an information exchange means for exchanging information with an external information process device via a network, and
wherein, in a case where the rotary atomizing head is the usable component, the information exchange means transmits, to the external information processing device, information about a work executed using the rotary atomizing head.
