Abstract

A device for coating a cylinder includes a coating head capable of being inserted into the cylinder, a plurality of coating guns which are provided on the coating head and are configured to discharge a coating material in a direction intersecting a longitudinal direction of the coating head, and a rotating cover which, when the coating material is discharged from one of a first coating gun and a second coating gun among the plurality of coating guns, is configured to cover the other of the first coating gun and the second coating gun, in which the plurality of coating guns are connected to coating material supply devices of different systems, respectively.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A device for coating a cylinder comprising:
a coating head configured to be inserted into the cylinder; said coating head is provided with a fixing cover, a rotating cover, and a support plate;
a plurality of coating guns which are provided on the coating head and are configured to discharge a coating material in a direction intersecting a longitudinal direction of the coating head, the plurality of coating guns including a first coating gun and a second coating gun provided at different positions from each other in the longitudinal direction of the coating head; and
the rotating cover which includes a first opening and a second opening formed at different positions from each other in the longitudinal direction of the coating head, the first opening being provided at a position at which the first opening is configured to face the first coating gun in the longitudinal direction of the coating head, and the second opening being provided at a position at which the second opening is configured to face the second coating gun in the longitudinal direction of the coating head, and which, when the coating material is discharged from the first coating gun the first opening of the rotating cover is configured to face the first coating gun in the longitudinal direction of the coating head and the second opening is configured to face a direction opposite to the first opening in a radial direction of the rotating cover, said rotating cover is rotatable around a central axis of the coating head; said fixing cover is fixed to the support plate and said fixing cover is provided to be rotatable with respect to the rotating cover, said fixing cover is formed in a semicircular shape that covers a side opposite to discharge sides of the first coating gun and the second coating gun,
wherein the plurality of coating guns are connected to coating material supply devices of different systems, respectively.

2. The device for coating the cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein each of the coating material supply devices has a coating material supply tube and an air supply tube connected to a corresponding one of the plurality of coating guns, and the coating material supply tube is disposed to pass nearer to the central axis of the coating head than the air supply tube.

3. The device for coating the cylinder according to claim 2 , wherein the coating material supply tube and the air supply tube are disposed to avoid a discharge area of the corresponding one of the plurality of coating guns.

4. The device for coating the cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein the support plate of the coating head has a first support plate portion which supports the first coating gun and a second support plate portion which supports the second coating gun, and the first support plate portion has a first chamfered portion which is configured to retract from the a discharge area of the first coating gun, and the second support plate portion has a second chamfered portion which is configured to retract from a discharge area of the second coating gun.

5. The device for coating the cylinder according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a plunger which is configured to suppress rotation of the rotating cover.
