ABSTRACT:
An automatic spraying method wherein the amount of displacement of a valve member is calculated from data representing a particular spray distance by means of a microcomputer, and the valve member is activated on the basis of the displacement amount thus obtained. A curve which represents the relationship between the valve member displacement and the amount of a fluid which is to be jetted out is experimentally obtained in advance, and this curve is approximated by a plurality of straight lines or parabolas. The slopes or average slopes of these lines or curves are obtained, and the ratio between the respective slopes of the sections which are adjacent to each other is calculated. Trial spraying is carried out at two different spray distances within a range of valve member displacement amounts so as to provide a desired coating, and the relationship between the spray distance and the valve member displacement amount which provides similar coatings is obtained at two points. An equation in the section is determined by the microcomputer on the basis of data concerning the two points and data which determines whether the section is a straight line or a parabola. An equation in an adjacent section is determined from the equation already obtained and the slope ratio, and these equations are stored in a memory, whereby the valve member displacement for input data representing a particular spray distance can be calculated on the basis of the stored equations.
