Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to LoRa-enabled add-on control device for traditional coating machines in the textile industry with cloud integration.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The innovative control system was created to make it easier for traditional coating equipment in the textile sector to run smoothly. Its goal is to enable on-site workers to use a localized control unit to efficiently manage the coating machine's activation and deactivation. Furthermore, an easy-to-use online dashboard allows authorized people to conveniently monitor and control the machine remotely. This remote-control capability, which makes use of IoT cloud technology, improves accessibility and reactivity and enables timely modifications and optimizations in the coating processes.
The textile sector faces a major issue in effectively monitoring and operating traditional coating machines. The adaptability and reactivity of coating processes are limited by the inflexibility of current systems, which prevents both on-site and remote control. Production inefficiencies arise from operators' regular struggles with precisely scheduling on and off states. In addition, the difficulties in achieving efficient control are made worse by the lack of a user-friendly interface.
CA2061069A1: A method of electrostatically spray-coating a workpiece with electrically-conductive paint subjected to a voltage using a spray gun, the spray gun having a rotatable atomizing head attached to a rotator for rotating the atomizing head. A paint supply line supplies paint to the atomizing head and a cleaning line supplies cleaning liquid and air, where the air is under a pressure, to the atomizing head. The rotator has a path for accommodating the paint supply line and the cleaning line therein, that path being formed in a cylindrical shape along a rotative axis of the rotator. The cleaning line is disposed coaxially in the path with an end opening thereof disposed in the atomizing head. The paint supply line is disposed coaxially within the cleaning line and has a nozzle tip thereof projecting frontward from the end opening of the cleaning line into the center of the atomizing head, preventing liquid communication between it and the cleaning line. The method comprises the steps of: electrostatically spray-coating the workpiece with the paint; supplying the cleaning liquid to the atomizing head via the cleaning line to wash the atomizing head after spray-coating; supplying the air to the cleaning line after washing the atomizing head, to discharge the cleaning liquid remaining in the cleaning line through the atomizing head, at a delivery rate within a rate of spraying the paint during the spraycoating; and drying the cleaning line before spray-coating a next workpiece, to prevent voltage leakage, with air under pressure higher than an air pressure used for discharging the remaining cleaning liquid.
