Description

本発明は、金属帯表面にカーテン状の液体膜を自由落下させることによって金属帯表面に塗料等の液膜を塗布するカーテン塗布方法及びカーテン塗布装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a curtain coating method and a curtain coating apparatus for coating a liquid film such as a paint on the surface of a metal strip by freely dropping a curtain-like liquid film on the surface of the metal strip.

鋼帯などの金属帯表面に塗料や液体状の薬液などの液膜を塗布する方法として、カーテン状の液体膜を金属帯表面に自由落下させることによって液膜を塗布するカーテン塗布方法が知られている。   As a method of applying a liquid film such as paint or liquid chemical solution to the surface of a metal strip such as a steel strip, a curtain coating method is known in which a liquid film is applied by freely dropping a curtain-like liquid film onto the surface of the metal strip. ing.

カーテン塗布方法は、1種又は2種以上の塗布液よりなるカーテン状の液体膜を形成し、液体膜を自由落下させて塗布すべき物体と衝突させ、物体表面に液膜を塗布する方法である。カーテン塗布方法を金属板の塗装等に適用した例としては、特許文献1にローラーカーテン方式を用いたものが記載され、特許文献2にスライドカーテン方式を用いたものが記載されている。   The curtain coating method is a method in which a curtain-like liquid film composed of one or more coating liquids is formed, the liquid film is freely dropped and collided with an object to be coated, and a liquid film is coated on the surface of the object. is there. As an example in which the curtain coating method is applied to coating of a metal plate or the like, Patent Document 1 describes a method using a roller curtain system, and Patent Document 2 describes a method using a slide curtain system.

高速走行するウェブの表面近傍には、走行するウェブに同伴して流れる空気流が存在し、同伴空気と呼ばれる。カーテン塗布方法においては、同伴空気がカーテン状の液体膜に衝突することにより、ウェブの表面に未塗布部を生じたり、同伴空気が液体膜近傍で乱流となって液体膜を揺らすことにより、ウェブの塗布面に塗布ムラを生じさせ、あるいは塗布面に気泡巻き込みを生じさせて塗布品質を圧下させる原因となる。特にウェブ走行速度が上がるほどこの現象が顕著となる。   Near the surface of the web that travels at high speed, there is an air flow that flows along with the traveling web, which is called entrained air. In the curtain coating method, the entrained air collides with the curtain-like liquid film, resulting in an uncoated part on the surface of the web, or the accompanying air becomes a turbulent flow near the liquid film and shakes the liquid film, This causes uneven coating on the coated surface of the web, or entrains bubbles on the coated surface, thereby reducing the coating quality. In particular, this phenomenon becomes more prominent as the web running speed increases.

カーテン塗布方法においては、ウェブの搬送方向を塗布部の直前でローラーによって方向転換せしめ、同伴空気流の塗布部に対する影響を最小限に止めたり、あるいは特許文献3に記載のようにウェブの上流側に遮風板を設けて同伴空気流を遮断する方法が試みられている。さらには、特許文献4に記載のように、液体膜の衝突地点よりも上流側に、上流側方向にエアを噴射するエアジェット噴射装置を設け、さらに衝突地点とエアジェット噴射装置との間に同伴空気を液体膜から遮断する遮蔽部材を設けたカーテン塗布装置が開示されている。また、特許文献5には、鋼板のカーテン塗装工程において、鋼板の搬送方向に対してカーテン状に落下する塗料または液体状の薬液が鋼板に衝突する位置より上流側にガスを吐出させるノズルを設け、そのノズルは鋼板が搬送する方向と反対方向に、かつ、平行にガスを吐出させる吐出口を有し、ノズルの吐出口より吐出されるガスの垂直方向の吐出広がり角度が25度未満であることを特徴とする鋼板塗装均一化装置が記載されている。   In the curtain coating method, the conveyance direction of the web is changed by a roller immediately before the coating unit, and the influence of the accompanying air flow on the coating unit is minimized, or the upstream side of the web as described in Patent Document 3 Attempts have been made to block the entrained air flow by providing a windshield plate on the wall. Furthermore, as described in Patent Document 4, an air jet injection device that injects air in the upstream direction is provided upstream of the collision point of the liquid film, and further, between the collision point and the air jet injection device. There is disclosed a curtain coating apparatus provided with a shielding member for blocking accompanying air from a liquid film. Further, Patent Document 5 includes a nozzle that discharges gas upstream from a position where a paint or liquid chemical that falls in a curtain shape collides with a steel plate in the curtain coating process of the steel plate. The nozzle has a discharge port for discharging gas in a direction opposite to and parallel to the direction in which the steel plate is conveyed, and the discharge spread angle in the vertical direction of the gas discharged from the discharge port of the nozzle is less than 25 degrees. An apparatus for homogenizing steel sheet coating is described.

表面に塗装を行うべき金属帯は、そのロット毎に幅が異なるため、塗装に際しては種々の幅を有する金属帯に対応することが必要である。一方、金属帯表面に塗布するカーテン状の液体膜を生成するための液膜生成装置においては、ローラーカーテン方式であれスライドカーテン方式であれ、液体膜の幅を金属帯の幅に合わせて自由に変更することが困難である。液体膜の幅を最大幅の金属帯の幅に合わせて決定し、金属帯の幅の変化にかかわらず同一の液体膜の幅を用いることも可能であるが、狭幅の金属帯に塗布を行う際には金属帯の幅外側部分に落下して無駄になる液体が増大するため、好ましくない。   Since the metal strips to be coated on the surface have different widths for each lot, it is necessary to deal with metal strips having various widths when coating. On the other hand, in a liquid film generating apparatus for generating a curtain-like liquid film to be applied to the surface of a metal strip, the width of the liquid film can be freely adjusted according to the width of the metal strip, whether it is a roller curtain method or a slide curtain method It is difficult to change. It is possible to determine the width of the liquid film according to the width of the maximum width metal band and use the same liquid film width regardless of the change in the width of the metal band. When performing, it is not preferable because the liquid which is wasted by dropping to the outer portion of the width of the metal band increases.

特許文献3においては、カーテン塗布方法によって帯状の材料(ウェブ)に塗布液を塗布する方法において、塗液を供給するホッパー等の給液器を水平面内で塗布幅に応じて回転することにより、異なる幅の材料に連続して塗布する方法が記載されている。ウェブの幅が給液器の幅に見合った幅である場合には、給液器はウェブ進行方向に対して90°の平常配置に設定され、ウェブの幅が給液器の幅に対して極端に狭くなった場合にはウェブの進行方向に対し給液器は回転して90°より小さい角度の位置に設定される。   In Patent Document 3, in a method of applying a coating liquid to a strip-shaped material (web) by a curtain coating method, by rotating a liquid feeder such as a hopper that supplies the coating liquid in a horizontal plane according to the coating width, A method is described for applying sequentially to materials of different widths. When the width of the web is a width commensurate with the width of the liquid feeder, the liquid feeder is set in a normal arrangement of 90 ° with respect to the web traveling direction, and the width of the web is relative to the width of the liquid feeder. When it becomes extremely narrow, the liquid feeder rotates relative to the web traveling direction and is set at a position of an angle smaller than 90 °.

液膜幅が一定であるカーテン状の液体膜を生成する液膜生成装置を用い、種々の幅を有する金属帯の表面に液膜を塗布する方法において、特許文献3に記載のように金属帯の幅に応じて液膜生成装置の角度を回転させることにより、液膜の供給幅を金属帯の幅に合致させる塗布を行ったところ、特に幅狭の金属帯に塗布を行う際に、塗布膜に気泡巻き込みなどの品質不良が発生することがあった。   In a method of applying a liquid film to the surface of a metal strip having various widths using a liquid film generating device that generates a curtain-like liquid film having a constant liquid film width, a metal strip as described in Patent Document 3 is used. By applying the liquid film supply width to the width of the metal strip by rotating the angle of the liquid film generating device according to the width of the coating, especially when applying to a narrow metal strip Poor quality such as bubble entrainment may occur in the film.

本発明は、連続走行する金属帯の上方に配置した液膜生成装置にてカーテン状の液体膜を生成し、生成した液体膜を金属帯上に自由落下させて液膜を金属帯表面に塗布するカーテン塗布装置において、液体膜生成装置は鉛直軸周りに回転可能であって液体膜の幅方向と金属帯の幅方向とがなす角度を金属帯の幅に応じて変化させることができ、同時に塗布膜の品質を良好に保持することのできるカーテン塗布方法及びカーテン塗布装置を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention generates a curtain-like liquid film with a liquid film generating device disposed above a continuously running metal band, and freely drops the generated liquid film on the metal band to apply the liquid film to the surface of the metal band. In the curtain coating apparatus, the liquid film generating device can be rotated about the vertical axis, and the angle formed by the width direction of the liquid film and the width direction of the metal band can be changed according to the width of the metal band, An object of the present invention is to provide a curtain coating method and a curtain coating apparatus capable of maintaining the quality of a coating film satisfactorily.

図3(a)において、カーテン状の液体膜が金属帯に衝突する地点6と、ガス吐出ノズル4の配置位置との間の距離には、最適距離が存在する。両者の距離が長すぎると、同伴空気の影響を極小にすることができない。   In FIG. 3A, there is an optimum distance between the point 6 where the curtain-like liquid film collides with the metal strip and the position where the gas discharge nozzle 4 is disposed. If the distance between the two is too long, the influence of the entrained air cannot be minimized.

従来、金属帯の幅に応じて液膜生成装置の角度を回転させることにより液膜の供給幅を金属帯の幅に合致させる塗布を行った場合に、特に幅狭の金属帯に塗布を行う際に、塗布膜に気泡巻き込みなどの品質不良が発生することがあった。図4に示すように、液膜生成装置3を回転させて液体膜の幅方向角度θを増大させたときに、ガス吐出ノズル4の配列位置は変化させないため、金属帯の幅方向一方の端部15aでは液体膜が金属帯に衝突する地点6とガス吐出ノズル4との距離が短くなり、他方の端部15bでは液体膜が金属帯に衝突する地点6とガス吐出ノズル4との距離が長くなる。距離が長くなった側の端部においては、両者の最適距離から外れることとなる。そして、このことが、液膜生成装置3の角度を回転させたときに気泡巻き込みなどの品質不良が発生する原因であることが判明した。   Conventionally, when coating is performed so that the supply width of the liquid film matches the width of the metal band by rotating the angle of the liquid film generating device according to the width of the metal band, the coating is performed particularly on a narrow metal band. At this time, quality defects such as entrainment of bubbles may occur in the coating film. As shown in FIG. 4, when the liquid film generating device 3 is rotated to increase the width direction angle θ of the liquid film, the arrangement position of the gas discharge nozzles 4 is not changed. In the portion 15a, the distance between the point 6 where the liquid film collides with the metal strip and the gas discharge nozzle 4 is shortened, and in the other end 15b, the distance between the point 6 where the liquid film collides with the metal strip and the gas discharge nozzle 4 is reduced. become longer. At the end portion on the side where the distance is longer, the distance between the two is not optimal. This has been found to be the cause of quality defects such as entrainment of bubbles when the angle of the liquid film generating device 3 is rotated.

本発明においては図1に示すように、液体膜の幅方向12と金属帯の幅方向11とがなす角度(液体膜の幅方向角度θ)を金属帯の幅に応じて変化させると同時に、ガス吐出口の配列方向13と金属帯の幅方向11とがなす角度(ガス吐出口の配列方向角度α)を液体膜の幅方向角度変化に応じて変化させる。これにより、液体膜の幅方向角度θが変わっても、カーテン状の液体膜が金属帯に衝突する地点6とガス吐出ノズル4の配置位置との間の距離を、金属帯幅方向どの位置においても最適な距離に保持することが可能となり、結果として金属帯幅方向のどの部位においても塗膜の品質を良好に保つことが可能となる。   In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the angle formed by the width direction 12 of the liquid film and the width direction 11 of the metal band (the width direction angle θ of the liquid film) is changed according to the width of the metal band, The angle formed by the gas discharge port arrangement direction 13 and the metal strip width direction 11 (gas discharge port arrangement direction angle α) is changed in accordance with the change in the liquid film width direction angle. Thereby, even if the width direction angle θ of the liquid film changes, the distance between the point 6 where the curtain-shaped liquid film collides with the metal band and the position where the gas discharge nozzle 4 is arranged is determined at any position in the metal band width direction. Can be maintained at an optimum distance, and as a result, the quality of the coating film can be kept good at any part in the metal band width direction.

本発明は、連続走行する金属帯の上方に配置した液膜生成装置にてカーテン状の液体膜を生成し、生成した液体膜を金属帯上に自由落下させて液膜を金属帯表面に塗布するカーテン塗布装置において、液体膜生成装置は鉛直軸周りに回転可能であって液体膜の幅方向と金属帯の幅方向とがなす角度を金属帯の幅に応じて変化させると同時に、液体膜の金属帯への衝突地点より上流側にガス吐出ノズルを設け、該ノズルは走行する金属帯の上流側方向にガスを吐出し、該ノズルは1個又は複数個のガス吐出口が金属帯の幅方向全体にガスを吐出し、ガス吐出口の配列方向角度は液体膜の幅方向角度変化に応じて変化させるので、金属帯の幅方向いずれの部位においても同伴空気流を有効に排除することができ、塗布膜の品質を良好に保持することができる。   The present invention generates a curtain-like liquid film with a liquid film generating device disposed above a continuously running metal band, and freely drops the generated liquid film on the metal band to apply the liquid film to the surface of the metal band. In the curtain coating apparatus, the liquid film generating device is rotatable around the vertical axis and changes the angle formed by the width direction of the liquid film and the width direction of the metal band according to the width of the metal band, and at the same time A gas discharge nozzle is provided on the upstream side of the point of collision with the metal band, the nozzle discharges gas in the upstream direction of the traveling metal band, and the nozzle has one or more gas discharge ports in the metal band.

本発明のカーテン塗布方法及びカーテン塗装装置としては、1種又は2種以上の塗布液よりなるカーテン状の液体膜2を形成し、液体膜2を自由落下させて塗布すべき物体と衝突させ、物体表面に液膜を塗布する方法であればいずれの方式においても採用することができる。ローラーカーテン方式あるいはスライドカーテン方式を用いることができる。以下、スライドカーテン方式を例にとって説明を行う。   As the curtain coating method and curtain coating apparatus of the present invention, a curtain-like liquid film 2 made of one or more kinds of coating liquids is formed, and the liquid film 2 is freely dropped to collide with an object to be coated. Any method can be adopted as long as it is a method of applying a liquid film to the surface of an object. A roller curtain system or a slide curtain system can be used. Hereinafter, description will be made by taking a slide curtain system as an example.

図5に示すように、スライドカーテン塗装装置は1又は2以上のスリット8を有し、各スリット8から塗料を吐出させると、吐出した塗料は液体膜となり、スライド7に沿って流下する。例えば3個のスリット8を有するスライドカーテン塗装装置において、第1のスリット8cから吐出した液体膜は、第2のスリット8bの位置までスライド上を流下して第2のスリット8bから吐出した液体膜に接して2層の液体膜を形成し、さらにその2層の液体膜は第3のスリット8aまで流下して第3のスリット8aから吐出した液体膜に接して3層の液体膜2を形成する。3層の液体膜2はスライド7に沿って流下し、スライド端においてスライド7から離れ、カーテン状の液体膜2として自由落下する。カーテン塗装装置の下方には、カーテン塗覆を行う対象物としての金属帯1が走行している。金属帯1の表面に落下したカーテン状の液体膜2は板の表面に付着し、板の表面に塗膜が形成される。   As shown in FIG. 5, the slide curtain coating apparatus has one or more slits 8, and when the paint is discharged from each slit 8, the discharged paint becomes a liquid film and flows down along the slide 7. For example, in a slide curtain coating apparatus having three slits 8, the liquid film discharged from the first slit 8c flows down on the slide to the position of the second slit 8b and discharged from the second slit 8b. A two-layer liquid film is formed in contact with the liquid layer, and the two-layer liquid film flows down to the third slit 8a to form a three-layer liquid film 2 in contact with the liquid film discharged from the third slit 8a. To do. The three-layer liquid film 2 flows down along the slide 7, leaves the slide 7 at the slide end, and freely falls as a curtain-like liquid film 2. Below the curtain coating apparatus, a metal strip 1 as a target for curtain coating runs. The curtain-like liquid film 2 dropped on the surface of the metal strip 1 adheres to the surface of the plate, and a coating film is formed on the surface of the plate.

液体膜2が金属帯1に衝突する地点6において、通常は図5(a)に示すように液体膜2の幅を金属帯1の幅よりも若干広い幅とし、液体膜2の幅両端部が金属帯1の両端の外側に落下するように配置する。これにより、金属帯1の表面に付着した液膜は、金属帯1の幅方向いずれの部位においても均一な膜厚を確保することができる。一方、金属帯1の両端の外側に落下した液体膜2は、単一塗液の膜であれば回収して再使用することが可能であるものの、極力回収・再使用する量を少なくするため、液体膜2の幅をできるかぎり金属帯1の幅に近い幅とすると好ましい。   At the point 6 where the liquid film 2 collides with the metal strip 1, normally the width of the liquid film 2 is made slightly wider than the width of the metal strip 1 as shown in FIG. Is arranged so as to fall outside the both ends of the metal strip 1. Thereby, the liquid film adhering to the surface of the metal band 1 can ensure a uniform film thickness at any part in the width direction of the metal band 1. On the other hand, the liquid film 2 dropped to the outside of both ends of the metal strip 1 can be recovered and reused as long as it is a single coating film, but in order to reduce the amount to be recovered and reused as much as possible. The width of the liquid film 2 is preferably as close to the width of the metal strip 1 as possible.

本発明においては、液体膜生成装置3であるスライドカーテン塗装装置を水平面内で回転可能とし、図1に示す液体膜の幅方向12と金属帯の幅方向11とがなす角度θ(液体膜の幅方向角度θ)を金属帯1の幅に応じて変化させる。金属帯1の幅が狭いほど液体膜の幅方向角度θを大きくすることにより、液体膜2のうちで、幅方向両端において金属帯1の表面からはみ出る部分の長さを常に一定に保持することができる。   In the present invention, the slide curtain coating apparatus as the liquid film generating apparatus 3 is rotatable in a horizontal plane, and the angle θ (the liquid film's width direction 12 and the metal band's width direction 11 shown in FIG. The width direction angle θ) is changed according to the width of the metal strip 1. By increasing the width direction angle θ of the liquid film as the width of the metal band 1 is narrow, the length of the portion of the liquid film 2 that protrudes from the surface of the metal band 1 at both ends in the width direction is always kept constant. Can do.

液体膜生成装置3から落下する液体膜2の幅は、塗装する金属帯1のうちで最も幅広である金属帯1の幅よりも若干広い幅に設定する。そのため、最も広い幅の金属帯に液膜を塗布する場合においては、液体膜の幅方向と金属帯の幅方向とが同一の方向を向き、液体膜の幅方向角度θが0°となる。   The width of the liquid film 2 falling from the liquid film generating device 3 is set to be slightly wider than the width of the metal band 1 that is the widest among the metal bands 1 to be painted. Therefore, when the liquid film is applied to the widest metal band, the width direction of the liquid film and the width direction of the metal band face the same direction, and the width direction angle θ of the liquid film becomes 0 °.

本発明では、金属帯1に同伴して流れる同伴空気の影響を排除するため、金属帯の走行方向14に対して液体膜の金属帯への衝突地点6より上流側にガス吐出ノズル4を設け、該ノズルは走行する金属帯の上流側方向にガスを吐出する。ガス吐出ノズル4は1個又は複数個のガス吐出口5を有し、金属帯の幅方向全体にガスを吐出することができる。図3(b)に示す例では、合計12個のガス吐出口5をヘッダー管10に固定して金属帯1の幅方向に一列に並べ、金属帯幅方向いずれの部位においても均一にガスを吐出することができる。   In the present invention, in order to eliminate the influence of the entrained air flowing along with the metal band 1, the gas discharge nozzle 4 is provided upstream of the collision point 6 of the liquid film with the metal band in the traveling direction 14 of the metal band. The nozzle discharges gas in the upstream direction of the traveling metal strip. The gas discharge nozzle 4 has one or a plurality of gas discharge ports 5 and can discharge gas over the entire width direction of the metal strip. In the example shown in FIG. 3B, a total of twelve gas discharge ports 5 are fixed to the header tube 10 and arranged in a line in the width direction of the metal band 1, and gas is uniformly distributed in any part in the metal band width direction. It can be discharged.

ガス吐出ノズル4は、金属帯と液体膜との衝突地点6より上流側に金属帯の走行方向14と反対方向にガスを吐出させる。金属帯1が走行する際には同伴空気が成長し、その同伴空気によりカーテン状の液体膜2は揺れ動く。ガス吐出ノズル4からガスが吐出されることにより、同伴空気をせき止める作用を生じさせることができる。しかも、金属帯とノズルの間で負圧が生じ、ガス吐出ノズル4と液体膜金属帯衝突地点6の間で金属帯の同伴空気の成長を抑制することができる。この結果、カーテン状の液体膜2は同伴空気の影響を全く受けることなく、カーテンの揺れを防止することができる。このときガス吐出ノズル4から吐出されるガスとしては、エアー、窒素、酸素と窒素混合気体が挙げられる。   The gas discharge nozzle 4 discharges gas in the direction opposite to the traveling direction 14 of the metal strip upstream from the collision point 6 between the metal strip and the liquid film. When the metal strip 1 travels, accompanying air grows, and the curtain-like liquid film 2 swings due to the accompanying air. By discharging the gas from the gas discharge nozzle 4, it is possible to cause an action of blocking the accompanying air. Moreover, a negative pressure is generated between the metal strip and the nozzle, and the growth of entrained air in the metal strip can be suppressed between the gas discharge nozzle 4 and the liquid film metal strip collision point 6. As a result, the curtain-like liquid film 2 can be prevented from shaking the curtain without being affected by the accompanying air at all. At this time, examples of the gas discharged from the gas discharge nozzle 4 include air, nitrogen, oxygen and a nitrogen mixed gas.

金属帯の走行方向14と反対方向にガス吐出ノズル4を設置する場合は、吐出ガスが垂直方向に広がるノズルを採用すると、ノズルから吐出されるガスの一部が金属帯に衝突し、ノズル吐出流と金属帯間で生ずる負圧が激減し、かつ、金属帯に衝突したガスの一部が同伴空気と混合し、金属帯表面上の同伴空気が助長され、カーテン状の液体膜の揺れは益々増大してしまう。そのため、ガス吐出ノズルを形成するガス吐出口のガス出口形状はスリット状の形状であることがより好ましいが、これはスリット状の吐出口を有するノズルを採用し金属帯と平行に設置すると、金属帯へのノズルからの吐出流の衝突を抑制でき、金属帯とガス吐出ノズルの間で生じる負圧を大きくすることができるためである。   When the gas discharge nozzle 4 is installed in a direction opposite to the traveling direction 14 of the metal band, if a nozzle in which the discharge gas spreads in the vertical direction is adopted, a part of the gas discharged from the nozzle collides with the metal band, and the nozzle discharge The negative pressure generated between the flow and the metal strip is drastically reduced, and a part of the gas that collides with the metal strip is mixed with the entrained air, and the entrained air on the surface of the metal strip is promoted. It will increase more and more. Therefore, it is more preferable that the gas outlet shape of the gas discharge port forming the gas discharge nozzle is a slit shape, but this is achieved by adopting a nozzle having a slit-like discharge port and installing it in parallel with the metal strip. This is because the collision of the discharge flow from the nozzle to the band can be suppressed, and the negative pressure generated between the metal band and the gas discharge nozzle can be increased.

本発明に係るガス吐出ノズルは、金属帯が搬送される方向と反対方向に、かつ、金属帯と平行にガスを吐出させる吐出口を有していると好ましい。   The gas discharge nozzle according to the present invention preferably has a discharge port for discharging gas in a direction opposite to the direction in which the metal strip is conveyed and in parallel with the metal strip.

図3(a)において、ガス吐出口5と液体膜2の金属帯1への衝突地点6との間の最大距離Lには、最適距離が存在する。両者の距離が長すぎると、同伴空気の影響を極小にすることができない。   In FIG. 3A, an optimum distance exists as the maximum distance L between the gas discharge port 5 and the collision point 6 of the liquid film 2 with the metal band 1. If the distance between the two is too long, the influence of the entrained air cannot be minimized.

従来、図4に示すように金属帯の幅に応じて液膜生成装置3の角度を回転させることにより液膜の供給幅を金属帯の幅に合致させる塗布を行った場合に、特に幅狭の金属帯に塗布を行う際に、塗布膜に気泡巻き込みなどの品質不良が発生することがあった。液膜生成装置3を回転させて液体膜の幅方向角度を増大させたときに、ガス吐出ノズル4の配列位置は変化させないため、金属帯の幅方向一方の端部15bでは液体膜が金属帯に衝突する地点6とガス吐出ノズル4との距離(ガス吐出口と液体膜の金属帯への衝突地点との間の最大距離L)が長くなりすぎ、両者の最適距離から外れることとなる。そして、このことが、液膜生成装置3の角度を回転させたときに気泡巻き込みなどの品質不良が発生する原因であることが判明した。   Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, when coating is performed so that the supply width of the liquid film matches the width of the metal band by rotating the angle of the liquid film generating device 3 according to the width of the metal band, the width is particularly narrow. When applying to the metal band, quality defects such as entrainment of bubbles may occur in the coating film. When the liquid film generating device 3 is rotated to increase the width direction angle of the liquid film, the arrangement position of the gas discharge nozzles 4 is not changed, so that the liquid film is formed at one end 15b in the width direction of the metal band. The distance between the point 6 that collides with the gas discharge nozzle 4 and the gas discharge nozzle 4 (maximum distance L between the gas discharge port and the point where the liquid film collides with the metal band) becomes too long and deviates from the optimum distance between them. This has been found to be the cause of quality defects such as entrainment of bubbles when the angle of the liquid film generating device 3 is rotated.

本発明においては、図1に示すように、液体膜の幅方向12と金属帯の幅方向11とがなす角度θ(液体膜の幅方向角度θ)を金属帯の幅に応じて変化させると同時に、ガス吐出口の配列方向13と金属帯の幅方向11とがなす角度α(ガス吐出口の配列方向角度α)を液体膜の幅方向角度θ変化に応じて変化させる。これにより、液体膜の幅方向角度θが変わっても、カーテン状の液体膜が金属帯に衝突する地点6とガス吐出ノズル4の配置位置との間の距離を、金属帯幅方向どの位置においても最適な距離に保持することが可能となり、結果として金属帯幅方向のどの部位においても塗膜の品質を良好に保つことが可能となる。   In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, when the angle θ (the width direction angle θ of the liquid film) formed by the width direction 12 of the liquid film and the width direction 11 of the metal band is changed according to the width of the metal band. At the same time, the angle α (the gas discharge port array direction angle α) formed by the gas discharge port array direction 13 and the metal strip width direction 11 is changed according to the change in the liquid film width direction angle θ. Thereby, even if the width direction angle θ of the liquid film changes, the distance between the point 6 where the curtain-shaped liquid film collides with the metal band and the position where the gas discharge nozzle 4 is arranged is determined at any position in the metal band width direction. Can be maintained at an optimum distance, and as a result, the quality of the coating film can be kept good at any part in the metal band width direction.

本発明においては、ガス吐出口5と液体膜の金属帯への衝突地点6との間の最大距離Lを1m以内とすると好ましい。   In the present invention, it is preferable that the maximum distance L between the gas discharge port 5 and the collision point 6 of the liquid film with the metal band is within 1 m.

ガス吐出口の配列方向角度αを液体膜の幅方向角度θ変化に応じて変化させるに際しては、ガス吐出口の配列方向角度αと液体膜の幅方向角度θとを極力一致させるように変化させると好ましい。   When the arrangement direction angle α of the gas discharge ports is changed according to the change in the width direction angle θ of the liquid film, the arrangement direction angle α of the gas discharge ports and the width direction angle θ of the liquid film are changed as much as possible. And preferred.

本発明において、液膜生成装置3を鉛直軸周りの回転軸9aの周りに回転することによって液体膜の幅方向角度θを変化させ、ガス吐出ノズル4を鉛直軸周りの回転軸9bの周りに回転させることによってガス吐出口の配列方向角度αを変化させる。ここにおいて、図2(a)に示すように、液膜生成装置3の回転軸9aと、ガス吐出ノズル4の回転軸9bとを一致させることができる。この場合、液膜生成装置とガス吐出ノズルとは一体として回転することとなる。   In the present invention, by rotating the liquid film generating device 3 around the rotation axis 9a around the vertical axis, the liquid film width direction angle θ is changed, and the gas discharge nozzle 4 is moved around the rotation axis 9b around the vertical axis. By rotating, the arrangement direction angle α of the gas discharge ports is changed. Here, as shown in FIG. 2A, the rotation shaft 9 a of the liquid film generating device 3 and the rotation shaft 9 b of the gas discharge nozzle 4 can be matched. In this case, the liquid film generating device and the gas discharge nozzle rotate as a unit.

本発明においてはさらに、図2(b)に示すように、液膜生成装置3の回転軸9aと、ガス吐出ノズル4の回転軸9bとを別々の位置に配置することができる。この場合には、図2(a)のように液膜生成装置3の回転軸9aとガス吐出ノズル4の回転軸9bとを一致させた場合と比較し、ガス吐出ノズル4のガス吐出部位を金属帯1の幅範囲内に保持しやすくなるので好ましい。   Further, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the rotating shaft 9a of the liquid film generating device 3 and the rotating shaft 9b of the gas discharge nozzle 4 can be arranged at different positions. In this case, the gas discharge portion of the gas discharge nozzle 4 is compared with the case where the rotation shaft 9a of the liquid film generating device 3 and the rotation shaft 9b of the gas discharge nozzle 4 are matched as shown in FIG. Since it becomes easy to hold | maintain within the width range of the metal strip 1, it is preferable.

ここでは、ガス吐出方向16と金属帯の反走行方向との間の角度βをガス吐出方向角度βと定義する。ガス吐出ノズル4を鉛直軸周りに回転させるに際し、図2(a)(b)に示すように、ガス吐出方向16は常にガス吐出口の配列方向13と直角の方向に向くこととしても良いが、この場合にはガス吐出口の配列方向角度αが大きくなるに従い、ガス吐出方向角度βは大きくなることとなる。本発明においては、ガス吐出ノズル4が鉛直軸周りに回転するに際し、ガス吐出口の配列方向角度αよりもガス吐出方向角度βを小さな角度とすると好ましい。図4に示すように、ガス吐出方向は常に金属帯の長手方向に向かうようにし、ガス吐出方向角度βをゼロとすることもできる。ガス吐出方向角度βが45°以下であれば、良好な品質の液膜を塗布することができるので好ましい。   Here, an angle β between the gas discharge direction 16 and the anti-running direction of the metal strip is defined as a gas discharge direction angle β. When the gas discharge nozzle 4 is rotated around the vertical axis, the gas discharge direction 16 may always be directed in a direction perpendicular to the gas discharge port arrangement direction 13 as shown in FIGS. In this case, the gas discharge direction angle β increases as the gas discharge port arrangement direction angle α increases. In the present invention, when the gas discharge nozzle 4 rotates around the vertical axis, the gas discharge direction angle β is preferably smaller than the gas discharge port arrangement direction angle α. As shown in FIG. 4, the gas discharge direction may always be directed in the longitudinal direction of the metal strip, and the gas discharge direction angle β may be zero. A gas discharge direction angle β of 45 ° or less is preferable because a liquid film with good quality can be applied.

次に、ガス吐出ノズルの好ましい実施の形態について述べる。   Next, a preferred embodiment of the gas discharge nozzle will be described.

ガス吐出口から流れたガスは、吐出口から垂直方向にある角度をもって吐出される。この吐出口より吐出されるガスの垂直方向の吐出方向の吐出広がり角度が大きすぎると、ガス吐出ノズルから吐出されるガスが広がり過ぎ、金属帯とガス吐出ノズル間で生じる負圧が弱くなってしまい随伴流をせき止める作用が十分に得られなくなる。垂直方向の吐出広がり角度は25度未満とすると好ましい。   The gas flowing from the gas discharge port is discharged from the discharge port at a certain angle in the vertical direction. If the discharge spread angle in the vertical discharge direction of the gas discharged from this discharge port is too large, the gas discharged from the gas discharge nozzle will spread too much, and the negative pressure generated between the metal strip and the gas discharge nozzle will be weakened. As a result, the effect of stopping the accompanying flow cannot be obtained sufficiently. The discharge spread angle in the vertical direction is preferably less than 25 degrees.

ガス吐出口から垂直方向にある角度をもって吐出されるガスの最大流速方向を吐出方向とする。この吐出方向と搬送される金属帯とのなす角度も同伴空気をせき止める作用を発生させるうえでは重要となる。吐出方向が金属帯の搬送方向に対して上向き20度より大きい場合には、ガス吐出ノズルから吐出されるガスと搬送される金属帯の隙間が広すぎ、ガス吐出ノズルから吐出されるガスと搬送される金属帯の間で負圧が発生せず、カーテン状の塗料揺れを防止することができなくなる。また、吐出方向が金属帯の搬送方向に対して下向き30度より大きい場合には、ガス吐出ノズルから吐出されるガスが金属帯に衝突し、ノズルと金属帯間で負圧ができにくくなり、さらに、搬送による同伴空気を却って増大させてしまい、カーテン状の塗料の揺れ防止ができなくなる。従って、吐出方向が金属帯の搬送方向に対して上向き20度から下向き30度の範囲内にあると好ましい。   The discharge direction is defined as the maximum flow velocity direction of gas discharged from the gas discharge port at an angle in the vertical direction. The angle formed by the discharge direction and the metal strip to be conveyed is also important in generating the action of blocking the entrained air. If the discharge direction is greater than 20 degrees upward relative to the metal strip transport direction, the gap between the gas discharged from the gas discharge nozzle and the transported metal strip is too wide, and the gas discharged from the gas discharge nozzle and transport No negative pressure is generated between the metal strips, and curtain-like paint shaking cannot be prevented. In addition, when the discharge direction is larger than 30 degrees downward with respect to the transport direction of the metal band, the gas discharged from the gas discharge nozzle collides with the metal band, and it becomes difficult to create a negative pressure between the nozzle and the metal band, Furthermore, the entrained air due to the conveyance is increased and the curtain-like paint cannot be prevented from shaking. Therefore, it is preferable that the discharge direction is in the range of 20 degrees upward to 30 degrees downward with respect to the metal band conveyance direction.

また、ガス吐出ノズルと金属帯間の距離Hについては、ガス吐出ノズルと金属帯間の距離Hが10mm未満では、金属帯の振動や金属帯形状崩れが発生した場合に、ガス吐出ノズルと金属帯が接触する。ガス吐出ノズルと金属帯間の距離Hが30mmより大きい場合には、ガス吐出ノズルから金属帯搬送方向と反対側に吐出されるガスによって、金属帯搬送による金属帯近傍の発達した随伴流を弱める効果が少なく、カーテン揺れ防止効果が少ない。従って、ガス吐出ノズルと金属帯間の距離Hを金属帯の上方に10mm〜30mmとすると好ましい。ここで、ガス吐出ノズルと金属帯間の距離Hとは、金属帯の表面とガス吐出ノズルの吐出口下端間の距離のことである。   As for the distance H between the gas discharge nozzle and the metal band, when the distance H between the gas discharge nozzle and the metal band is less than 10 mm, when the metal band vibrates or the metal band is deformed, the gas discharge nozzle and the metal band are separated. The belt touches. When the distance H between the gas discharge nozzle and the metal band is greater than 30 mm, the gas that is discharged from the gas discharge nozzle to the side opposite to the metal band transfer direction weakens the developed accompanying flow in the vicinity of the metal band due to the metal band transfer. Less effective and less curtain shaking prevention effect. Therefore, it is preferable that the distance H between the gas discharge nozzle and the metal band is 10 mm to 30 mm above the metal band. Here, the distance H between the gas discharge nozzle and the metal band is the distance between the surface of the metal band and the lower end of the discharge port of the gas discharge nozzle.

連続走行する鋼帯表面に塗料膜をカーテン塗布するに際し、本発明を適用した。液膜生成装置3、ガス吐出ノズル4として図1〜3に示すものを用いた。液膜生成装置3は、図3に示すようなスライドカーテン方式を採用している。カーテン塗布する塗装膜は溶剤で希釈したポリエステル系の乾燥膜厚が10μmと30μmであり、スライドカーテン方式によって2層の液体膜を形成し、自由落下膜として走行する鋼板表面に塗布する。鋼帯の走行速度は80m/分一定とし、塗料の全流量は3リットル/分一定とする。   The present invention was applied to curtain coating a paint film on the surface of a continuously running steel strip. The liquid film generating device 3 and the gas discharge nozzle 4 shown in FIGS. The liquid film generator 3 employs a slide curtain system as shown in FIG. The coating film to be applied to the curtain has polyester-based dry film thicknesses of 10 μm and 30 μm diluted with a solvent. A two-layer liquid film is formed by a slide curtain method, and is applied to the surface of the moving steel sheet as a free fall film. The running speed of the steel strip is constant at 80 m / min, and the total flow rate of the paint is constant at 3 liters / min.

金属帯の幅、自由落下する液体膜(カーテン)の幅、液体膜の幅方向角度θ、ガス吐出口の配列方向角度α、ガス吐出方向角度β、ガス吐出ノズルと金属帯間の距離Hを、表1に示すように変化させた。このときのガス吐出口5と液体膜の金属帯への衝突地点6との間の最大距離L実績、及び鋼帯表面に生成した液体膜への気泡同伴有無の実績を併せて表1に示す。   The width of the metal strip, the width of the free falling liquid film (curtain), the width direction angle θ of the liquid film, the gas discharge port arrangement direction angle α, the gas discharge direction angle β, and the distance H between the gas discharge nozzle and the metal strip. , As shown in Table 1. Table 1 shows the results of the maximum distance L between the gas discharge port 5 and the collision point 6 of the liquid film with the metal band at this time, and the results of presence or absence of bubbles in the liquid film generated on the steel band surface. .

本発明例No.1〜6については、ガス吐出口5と液体膜の金属帯への衝突地点6との間の最大距離Lが1m以下、ガス吐出方向角度βが45°以下、ガス吐出ノズルと金属帯間の距離Hが30mm以下であっていずれも本発明の好適範囲内となっており、気泡同伴の発生がなく、良好な結果を得ることができた。   Invention Example No. 1 to 6, the maximum distance L between the gas discharge port 5 and the collision point 6 of the liquid film with the metal band is 1 m or less, the gas discharge direction angle β is 45 ° or less, and between the gas discharge nozzle and the metal band. The distance H was 30 mm or less, and both were within the preferred range of the present invention, no bubble entrainment occurred, and good results could be obtained.

比較例No.7〜9は、ガス吐出口の配列方向角度αが0°であるかαの大きさが不充分であったためにガス吐出口5と液体膜の金属帯への衝突地点6との間の最大距離Lが1mを超え、結果として気泡同伴が発生した。また、比較例No.10はガス吐出方向角度βが45°を超え、気泡同伴が発生した。比較例No.11はガス吐出ノズルと金属帯間の距離Hが30mmを超え、気泡同伴が発生した。   Comparative Example No. 7 to 9 are the maximum between the gas discharge port 5 and the collision point 6 of the liquid film with the metal band because the arrangement direction angle α of the gas discharge ports is 0 ° or the size of α is insufficient. The distance L exceeded 1 m, and as a result, bubble entrainment occurred. Comparative Example No. In No. 10, the gas discharge direction angle β exceeded 45 °, and bubble entrainment occurred. Comparative Example No. In No. 11, the distance H between the gas discharge nozzle and the metal strip exceeded 30 mm, and bubble entrainment occurred.

比較例No.12、13はガス吐出口の配列方向角度αが0°であって従来の方法を適用したものである。しかし、No.12については液体膜の幅方向角度θが15°と小さな角度であり、No.13については液体膜の幅方向角度θは70°と大きな値であったが金属帯幅が343mmと狭幅であったため、いずれもガス吐出口5と液体膜の金属帯への衝突地点6との間の最大距離Lが1m以内となり、気泡同伴は発生しなかった。   Comparative Example No. Nos. 12 and 13 are the ones to which the conventional method is applied with the gas discharge port array direction angle α being 0 °. However, no. No. 12, the width direction angle θ of the liquid film is as small as 15 °. 13, the liquid film width direction angle θ was a large value of 70 °, but the metal band width was as narrow as 343 mm. Therefore, in both cases, the gas discharge port 5 and the collision point 6 of the liquid film with the metal band were The maximum distance L was 1 m or less, and bubble entrainment did not occur.
