Abstract

PURPOSE:To also coat the vertical surface part of an object to be coated in the same film thickness as the plane part thereof by one process by dividing paint flowing down in a curtain like state into a plurality of stripes and changing the presence of emission or emitting amount and viscosity or composition of the paint of each stripe corresponding to the state to be coated of each part of the object to be coated. CONSTITUTION:Paint 7 is allowed to flow down in a thin curtain like state having constant width and an object 4 to be coated is passed through the curtain like paint 7 to form a film to the surface of the object 4 to be coated. At this time, the curtain like paint is divided into a plurality of stripes and the presence of emission or emitting amount and viscosity or composition of the paint 7 of each stripe are changed corresponding to the state to be coated of each part of the object 4 to be coated. As a result, coating efficiency is enhanced and the vertical surface of the object to be coated can be coated in the same film thickness as the plane part thereof by one process.

[Prior Art] The flow coating method is a method in which a paint of a single composition is poured down in the form of a thin curtain of a constant width, and the object to be painted is passed through the curtain-like paint, thereby forming a coating film on the surface of the object. This is a coating method that allows the formation of When the flow coat coating method is used, for example, a flat plate-shaped object can be coated continuously and efficiently. For this reason, the flow coat coating method is widely used, for example, for coating mass-produced products such as automobile parts.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When the object to be coated is in the shape of a flat plate, the flat surface can be coated to a predetermined film thickness using the conventional flow coat coating method. However, if the object to be painted is three-dimensional and has an upright surface (a surface that runs in almost the same direction as the curtain-like paint flowing down), the paint applied on the upright surface tends to run off, and the paint applied on the upright surface tends to flow down once. The specified film thickness cannot be obtained with coat painting. Furthermore, when an object to be painted having an opening is painted by the conventional flow coating method, the paint flows down and is collected at the opening without being applied to the object. Since it is necessary to add a viscosity modifier such as thinner to the recovered paint for reuse, the cost of recycling the paint increases as the amount of recovered paint increases. Furthermore, if the amount of organic solvent such as thinner used increases, the amount of harmful organic solvent gas generated also increases, which is undesirable.

[0005] The devices disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-25980 and Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 63-82474 are devices for uniformly and stably pouring off curtain-like paint. Therefore, even if these devices are used, it is not possible to coat the vertical surface portion to the same thickness as the flat surface portion in one step. Further, when the object to be painted has an opening, the amount of paint to be recovered increases.
