Abstract
A color exchange and cleaning device of a minibell painting machine has two systems or sections, that is, a bell-side (first) color exchange and cleaning section and a counter-side (second) color exchange and cleaning section, and includes a manifold provided with a bell-side conduit and a counter-side conduit. The bell-side conduit is communicated with a trigger dump valve for the bell-side color exchange and cleaning section and a trigger valve for the counter-side color exchange and cleaning section. The counter-side conduit is connected via a connection hose with the trigger dump valve for the bell-side color exchange and cleaning section. The trigger valve for the counter-side color exchange and cleaning section is connected with a dump valve. The counter-side conduit is provided with a plurality of color valves, a low-pressure thinner valve and a low-pressure air valve. Thus, a manifold for the bell-side color exchange and cleaning section is eliminated, and the connection hose is made short.
