2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an automobile body (so-called white body) that has been subjected to a welding process is subjected to an electrodeposition coating in a coating process to form an electrodeposition coating film to ensure the corrosion resistance quality. I have. In other words, taking as an example the cationic electrodeposition coating that has become the mainstream in recent electrodeposition coating, immersing the car body in the cation electrodeposition paint, the car body side as a cathode, the electrode in the tank as an anode, This is based on a method of depositing an electrodeposition coating film on the surface of a steel plate of an automobile body by electrophoresis. In such an electrodeposition coating method, since the electrodeposition coating is applied by a so-called dipping method in which the vehicle body is completely immersed in an electrodeposition tank containing a coating liquid, so-called dipping method, the inside of the vehicle body cannot be applied by the spray coating method. It is widely used as an effective method for ensuring the corrosion resistance of the plate, the structure of the bag, or even the inner surface of the joint of the steel plate because the coating can be spread to the inner surface.

In the above-mentioned electrodeposition coating method, an automobile body as an object to be coated is immersed in an electrodeposition tank to perform electrodeposition coating (electrodeposition coating step), and thereafter, immediately after the electrodeposition tank is discharged. Since the coating liquid remains inside and outside the vehicle, a setting zone and a washing zone are appropriately provided after the electrodeposition tank according to the purpose. In the setting zone, sagging is performed before moving to the washing or baking process (setting process). During this time, reduce and dry the paint liquid and washing water attached to the body surface,
In the rinsing zone, clean water or circulating rinsing water is sprayed or dip rinsing is performed (a rinsing step), and paint liquid adhering to the vehicle body is washed away (for example, a setting zone and a rinsing zone are provided in multiple stages as shown in FIG. Process,
After the first rinsing step, the second rinsing step, and the setting step, the coating liquid and the rinsing water adhering to the vehicle body surface are removed before baking, the vehicle body enters a baking oven for baking (baking). Step), to form an electrodeposition coating film (see FIG. 3).

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned electrodeposition coating method, most of the coating liquid is washed away by water before baking.
The washing water is dropped due to the dripping, but the cleaning water locally collects and remains at a location where it is difficult to drop due to dripping. At the time of baking, the non-volatile components (residues of dust and coating liquid) contained in this residual liquid were locally abnormally deposited on the coated surface, causing coating defects.

In order to reduce such problems, the process conditions from electrodeposition coating to baking have been devised. For example, take a long time so that the sagging can be sufficiently performed in the setting process, or provide a preheating (preheating) zone and perform preheating drying (preheating process), so that the liquid attached to the vehicle body surface does not collect locally and remain. In the rinsing process, dip rinsing is performed as much as possible, and the agitation by rinsing water during rinsing is strengthened, and the liquid adhering to the vehicle body surface is replaced with cleaner water. It is common practice to reduce coating defects due to residual liquid at the time. Furthermore, as a method of reliably removing the washing water adhering to the body surface before baking, multiple air nozzles are provided in the preheating zone before baking and drying, and high-pressure air is blown on the car body to remove the washing water adhering to the car body. Blow-off and a device for preventing defective coating in a baking furnace (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-228794), and a method of inclining a vehicle body that has been subjected to a water-washing step upward with a hanger to discharge cleaning water, In the preheating zone, there is proposed a method in which the cleaning water is inclined upwardly to reduce washing water remaining at the time of insertion of the baking furnace and coating failure in the baking furnace is prevented (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-235094). I have.

However, there is a stagnation of the coating liquid due to surface tension inside the joint of the steel plate of the automobile body immediately after the electrodeposition tank is discharged through the electrodeposition coating process. It is not a method to reduce the liquid (residual liquid) before entering the baking furnace. Therefore, the appearance defect due to the liquid dripping near the joint of the steel sheets has not been solved.
That is, the preheating is performed in such a manner that the coating liquid (residual liquid) staying inside the steel sheet joint is preheated while performing a setting step in a subsequent setting zone, a rinsing step in a rinsing zone, and a blowing of high-pressure air in a preheating zone. Even after passing through the process, the car body enters the baking oven in the subsequent baking process, and
When entering a high temperature of not less than ° C., the coating liquid comes out of the steel plate joint of the vehicle body by bumping. The coating liquid that has come out of the bumping flows dripping on the coating film in the course of curing, resulting in rough skin after baking. And this rough surface impairs the finish of the paint near the joint of the steel sheet, and it takes a lot of man-hours to correct the appearance. For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, a connection portion B between the side sill 50 and the center pillar 60 is formed by a side sill outer panel 51 and a center pillar outer panel 61 as shown in FIG. 4B and FIG. This is a so-called "solid hit" structure, in which the coating liquid that has entered the gap between the solid hit surfaces D due to surface tension blows out in the baking furnace,
This drips down on the sill outer and hardens. Such one
When "electrodeposition sagging" failure, which is a kind of rough surface, occurs, there is a problem that the final finish quality is deteriorated, and a large amount of time is required for man-hours for repair work.

In the preheating step, the heating rate is set at 2
It is desirable to rapidly raise the temperature in the range of 0 to 60 ° C / min.
This can be said to be a preferred embodiment of the above means for solving the problems. The heating rate here is the heating rate of the surface of the article to be coated. The heating rate is determined by detecting the surface temperature of the object to be coated with a non-contact type heat radiation type sensor (for example, a combination of an open-end inspection pipe and an air purge) and controlling the heating device based on this data. It can be adjusted by things.

By rapidly raising the temperature in the above temperature range,
Since the coating liquid rapidly loses its surface tension and causes a sudden decrease in viscosity, resulting in fluidity, the coating liquid that has stayed in the steel plate joint of the automobile body can flow out in a short time. It is. If the rate of temperature rise is less than 20 ° C./min, the rate of decrease in surface tension and paint viscosity is slow, and the paint liquid remaining at the seam joint of the automobile body does not come out even when it reaches the final temperature. This is thought to be due to the fact that volatiles escape from the surface of the coating liquid facing the outside at the joint of the steel sheets to form a film, and the coating liquid inside does not flow.
In this case, the coating liquid softens (re-dissolves) in the subsequent spraying step, and the coating liquid boils under the condition of being rapidly heated in the subsequent baking step, and comes out of the steel sheet joint portion and bumps out. It is not preferable because it drips down on the coating film and scatters in severe cases, resulting in rough skin after baking (see Comparative Example 2).
When the temperature rise rate exceeds 60 ° C./min, the surface temperature of the object to be coated tends to rise even after reaching the final temperature due to the rapid temperature rise. It boiled and emerged from the joint of the steel plate, and dripped over the coating film. In severe cases, it scattered and became rough after baking.

Further, it is desirable that the final temperature reached by raising the temperature in the preheating step is 40 ° C. or more and less than 100 ° C., which can be said to be another preferred embodiment in the means for solving the above-mentioned problems. The final temperature is the temperature of the surface of the automobile body (particularly, the joint portion of the steel sheet) to be coated. The surface temperature is, for example, a non-contact type heat radiation type sensor (for example, a combination of an open-end inspection pipe and an air purge. Or the like).

In the preheating step, a temperature of 40 ° C. or more
By raising the temperature to less than 0 ° C., the viscosity and surface tension of the coating liquid decrease, and the coating liquid can flow out of the steel sheet joint of the vehicle body. When the final temperature is less than 40 ° C. due to the temperature rise, the viscosity and surface tension of the coating liquid are not significantly reduced, and the coating liquid remaining in the steel sheet joint of the automobile body does not come out. In this case, in the subsequent baking process, the coating liquid flowing out of the steel plate joint of the vehicle body bumps, and the high-concentration coating liquid scatters near the steel plate joint of the vehicle body, resulting in poor appearance near the steel plate joint. May be caused. On the other hand, when the ultimate temperature by the temperature rise exceeds 100 ° C., the coating liquid flowing out of the steel plate joint of the vehicle body bumps, and the high-concentration coating liquid scatters near the steel plate joint of the vehicle body. There is a possibility that it will.

(2) Spraying step: In this step, hot water and / or hot water mist is sprayed on the joint of the steel sheets. This makes it possible to quickly wash away the coating liquid that has flowed out of the steel sheet joint in the preheating step (1). That is, the viscosity of the coating liquid decreases in the preheating step, and in addition, since hot water and / or hot water mist is used for the cleaning liquid, the volatile components of the coating liquid evaporate at a high temperature to increase the viscosity and cause the solidification. Instead, the paint liquid is quickly mixed with the cleaning liquid and rapidly diluted to lose viscosity, so that the coating liquid can be easily washed away.
