Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a hot-dip plating method for a metal wire, and more particularly to an improvement in a cooling method for a hot-dip metal wire.

[Prior Art] Metal-plated wires such as tin-plated copper wires and solder-plated copper wires are used for lead wires used for electronic components such as resistors and capacitors.

As a method for manufacturing such a plated metal wire, conventionally, a metal wire is passed through a molten metal bath such as tin or solder to perform plating, pulled up vertically, naturally cooled in air, and then cooled in water. In general, a method of cooling by feeding into a cooling medium has been adopted.

However, in the method of cooling in water, when the plated metal wire enters the water, a large resistance acts, and the plating surface is likely to have irregularities, and is cooled rapidly by water. There is a disadvantage that the difference in heat shrinkage between the outer layer portion and the outer layer portion is large, cracks are easily generated on the plating surface, and as a result, it is difficult to obtain a plated metal wire having a uniform plating layer.

In order to remedy this drawback, a method has been studied in which a plated metal wire is vertically pulled out of a molten metal bath, naturally cooled in air, and then guided into spray droplets for cooling. According to such a cooling method in the spray droplets, the resistance when the plated metal wire enters the cooling device is almost eliminated, and since the cooling is gradually performed by the spray droplets, the plating surface has irregularities or irregularities. Cracks can be prevented from occurring.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the biggest problem in the case of cooling by spray droplets is that cooling is insufficient, which causes a reduction in the production speed of plated metal wires or an increase in the size of a cooling device. You will be forced to choose one. That is, in order to obtain a cooling effect equivalent to a cooling zone length of 20 to 30 mm by cooling in water in a still spray droplet, the cooling zone length must be 2000 mm or more. In such a case, there arises a new problem that the plated metal wire passing through is rolled and the plating becomes non-uniform. In order to avoid the lengthening of the cooling zone, the production speed must be reduced.

As one means for improving the cooling effect in spray droplets, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-1848 discloses cooling by passing a plated metal wire through a spray cooling device having a plurality of pairs of spray nozzles. A method is disclosed. However, in this cooling method, the spray droplets from the spray nozzle arranged in the apparatus are sprayed from the lateral direction onto the plating metal wire, and a pressure difference is generated on the outer periphery of the plating metal wire, so that the plating layer The so-called uneven thickness, whose thickness differs in the cross section, is likely to occur. If the spray pressure of the droplets is reduced, uneven thickness can be prevented from occurring, but the cooling becomes close to cooling in stationary spray droplets, and insufficient cooling of the plated metal wire is inevitable.

An object of the present invention is to solve the drawbacks of the prior art and to provide a metal hot-dip plating method capable of preventing the occurrence of irregularities and cracks on the plating surface and the occurrence of uneven thickness of the plating layer. Another object of the present invention is to provide a metal hot-dip plating method capable of producing a plated metal wire at a high speed without increasing the size of a cooling device.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The metal wire hot-dip plating method of the present invention is to pass a metal wire through a molten metal bath, perform plating, cool naturally in air, and then proceed with the hot-dip metal wire. It is characterized in that the cooling is performed by passing through the spray zone in which the spray droplets flow in opposite directions.

[Operation] The present invention uses spray droplets as a cooling medium,
There is almost no resistance when the plated metal wire enters the cooling device, and since the cooling is performed gradually, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of irregularities and cracks on the plated surface.
Further, since the cooling is performed in the spray zone in which the spray droplets are flowing in the direction opposite to the traveling direction of the plated metal wire, the pressure applied to the outer periphery of the plated metal wire becomes uniform, and even if the spray pressure is increased. The occurrence of uneven thickness can be prevented. Further, the cooling efficiency can be improved by increasing the flow rate by increasing the spray pressure, thereby improving the production speed of the hot-dip metal wire.
