[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail. The toning factory of the present invention has a storage area for storing a base paint filled in a container, a coloring area for the base paint, a coloring area to be added, a mixing area for mixing the base paint and the coloring ingredient, And a stock area for storing the obtained colored paint product mixed in the mixing area.

That is, in producing a colored paint product having a desired color for each can, a base paint filled in a container in a storage area measures a coloring component in the colored area,
In the mixing area, the base paint and the coloring component are mixed to obtain a colored coating product, and the obtained colored coating product is stored in the stock area.The storage area and the colored area, the colored area and the mixed area, The mixing area and the stock area are arranged in contact with each other. By arranging each area at a continuous position in the spatial positional relationship as described above, it is preferable in terms of work efficiency and space occupancy efficiency.

First, the colored paint product obtained by the present invention will be described. This colored paint product is a paint obtained by coloring a paint using a solvent or water as a solvent or a dispersion medium with a coloring component.
There are two types: solvent-based paints using solvents and water-based paints using water.

[0015] Unlike the paint of the type which is mixed with a solution such as water, such as a powder paint using cement and / or a powder emulsion as a binder, this colored paint product can reduce the time and effort for mixing. In recent years, it is often used as a paint for construction. It should be noted that some powder coatings to be applied in a factory, not at a building site, need not be mixed with a solution such as water.

Among the above colored paint products, water-based paints are preferably used. Water-based paint is a water-soluble resin,
A synthetic resin emulsion is used, and the film formation of the paint proceeds by evaporating water as a solvent or a dispersion medium. Water-based paints, compared to solvent-based paints,
It has little impact on the natural environment.

Water-based paints are unlikely to be subject to fire regulations, unlike solvent-based colored paint products. Therefore, in the production of colored paint products, special manufacturing equipment and facilities such as explosion-proof specifications are required. It is not used and is less subject to restrictions such as storage of colored paint products. Colored paint products are composed mainly of synthetic resins and contain white pigments, colored pigments, dyes, colored or colored aggregates, coloring components such as fillers, and fillers. Many have added agents.

The coloring component is a component used for coloring to obtain a colored coating product. Representative examples of the coloring component include a white pigment and a pigment of a coloring pigment. Examples of the white pigment include titanium oxide and clay. Examples of the coloring pigment include inorganic and organic pigments such as iron oxide, carbon black, oxide yellow, red iron oxide, cyanine blue, and cyanine green.

As the coloring component, one or more of the coloring components can be selected and used so that a coating film formed by the colored coating product has a required color tone. In addition, it is not preferable to use, as these coloring components, those that lower the physical properties of the colored coating product or the coating film formed therefrom. Preferably, it is preferable to use the coloring component having excellent weather resistance.
The weather resistance of the coating film formed by the colored coating product is hardly reduced.

As the filler, calcium carbonate, silica sand,
Fiber and the like. In addition, various additives include low-boiling alcohols, film-forming aids, high-boiling solvents used as antifreezing agents, surfactants used as dispersants, wetting agents, etc., thickeners, viscosity modifiers, defoamers , Preservatives, etc., and the presence or absence or the amount of addition can be appropriately selected as necessary.

[0021] Next, a base paint is a colored paint product to which a coloring component is not added, a paint to which only a white pigment is added, or the above two types of base paints are adjusted to a desired color tone. Means that the amount of the coloring component added is smaller than the amount of the coloring component added to. By adding a coloring component to the base paint and mixing, a colored paint product having a desired color tone can be obtained.

The base paint is stored in a storage area while being filled in a container. The container filled with the base paint is a container in which the base paint and the colored paint product can be stored and the colored paint product can be manufactured, and the manufactured colored paint product is shipped. In addition, the container can be transported unaltered to the location where the colored paint product is used.

The container may be a box made of steel or plastic, a bag or a bag made of vinyl, a box made of waterproof paper, or the inside of a box made of cardboard. Such as a plastic impervious bag inside or a coating that forms an impermeable layer inside the box,
It is a shape suitable for storage, production, and transportation of base paints and colored paint products, and may be a general shape.

The size of the container may be any size as long as the required base paint and colored paint product can be stored. In this container, specifications such as the name and weight of the colored coating product are displayed. Furthermore, this container is provided with a filling port for filling the base paint on the upper surface of the container or on a side surface near the upper surface of the container, and the filling port can be sealed with a lid.

This filling port is used not only for filling the base paint but also for adding a coloring component. When a colored paint product is used, it may also be used as an outlet for the colored paint product. Further, if necessary, it may be used in a mixing step in a mixing area described later.

The storage area is an area for storing the base paint filled in the container, and is preferably stored in the storage area for each type of the colored paint product. By storing the colored paint products separately for each type, it is easy to confirm the storage amount of the base paint, and it is easy to grasp the colorable quantity of the type.

Further, it is more preferable that the color paint products stored separately for each type are grouped by setting the weight of the base paint. By grouping according to the setting of the weight of the base paint, it is easy to confirm the color tone that can be colored for each type of the colored paint product, and the mistake of coloring is reduced.

The weight of the base paint is set in accordance with the amount of the coloring component added. In other words, when the amount of the coloring component added is large, the base coating having a small weight is used, and when the amount of the coloring component is small, the base coating having a large weight is used. The weight of the coating product can be within a certain range. For the above purpose, a plurality of base paints having different weights are prepared and grouped according to the weights.

The coloring area is an area where a coloring component is measured and added to the base paint. Further, in addition to the coloring components, if necessary, a matting agent, an anti-algal agent, an anti-fungal agent, an antibacterial agent, a silane coupling agent, a deodorant, a fragrance, an anti-freezing agent, a film-forming aid, a thickening agent Any one or more of the components may be added. These components can be added to the base paint, but can also be added simultaneously with the coloring components. Further, it is also possible to provide an addition area for adding each of the above-mentioned components different from the coloring area before or after the coloring area.

By adding simultaneously with the coloring components, the above components can be added as needed. For this reason, it is not necessary to manufacture a base paint to which the above-mentioned components are added. Further, when the addition area is provided separately from the coloring area, each component can be added efficiently even when obtaining various kinds of coloring paint products due to the difference of each component. Further, each of these components is preferably liquid. By being liquid,
Mixing and metering by volume are facilitated. Furthermore, even if the active ingredient is in powder form, the same can be said as long as the active ingredient is pasted.

The matting agent reduces the gloss of the coating film formed by the colored coating product. What is an anti-algal agent?
The anti-fungal agent suppresses the generation of fungi, and the antibacterial agent suppresses the generation of bacteria.

The silane coupling agent includes inorganic oxides such as titanium oxide, clay, iron oxide,
The bond between calcium carbonate, silica sand and the like and the organic synthetic resin can be strengthened, and the dispersibility of the filler can be improved. In addition, durability such as weather resistance of the formed coating film and adhesion to an inorganic coating object can be improved.

The deodorant can suppress the odor generated during the coating operation of the colored coating product, and can improve the coating environment. Further, the odor around the formed coating film can be absorbed. The fragrance is for imparting an odor to the colored paint product or the coating film formed thereby, and a fragrance can be selected and used as needed.

The anti-freezing agent is mainly added to an aqueous paint using water as a solvent and a dispersion medium, and serves to prevent freezing of a colored paint product. Since the addition amount of the antifreeze is set according to temperature conditions such as the outside air temperature, the addition amount varies depending on the season and region. For this reason, the minimum addition amount can be added to the base paint, and if necessary, an antifreeze can be added simultaneously with the coloring component. As a result, the base paint does not change depending on the season and region.

[0035] The film-forming aid promotes the formation of a coating film of a colored coating product containing a synthetic resin emulsion as a main component. Synthetic resin emulsions have different film-forming temperatures depending on the type, and the amount of the film-forming auxiliary added varies depending on the type of the synthetic resin emulsion and the ambient temperature at which the colored coating product is formed into a film. Therefore, as in the case of the above-mentioned anti-freezing agent, the minimum addition amount can be added to the base paint, and if necessary, a film-forming aid can be added simultaneously with the coloring component. Disappears.

The thickener is used to adjust the viscosity and viscosity of the colored coating product so that the coating operation is optimized. The viscosity and viscosity of the colored paint product may change depending on the coating atmosphere temperature of the colored paint product, typically, the air temperature. If the coating atmosphere temperature is high, the viscosity of the colored coating product may decrease. Conversely, if it is low, the viscosity of the colored coating product will increase, and dilution with a diluent may be necessary to obtain a predetermined viscosity.

[0037] Thus, the minimum amount of the thickener can be added to the base paint, and if necessary, the thickener can be added simultaneously with the coloring component, and the base paint is changed according to the temperature conditions. There is no need. In addition, in the container filled with the base paint in the storage area, the type of the coloring component, coloring data of the amount added is written, in the coloring area, the coloring data is read by a data reading device provided in the coloring area, Based on the read data, the type and amount of the coloring component are set by the coloring component adding device,
It is preferable to add a coloring component.

In this manner, the type and amount of the coloring component can be automatically set, the number of coloring errors is reduced, and the coloring process is facilitated. The method for adding the coloring component to the base paint is not particularly limited, and can be performed by any method. In addition, the method of measuring the amount of addition can be performed by measurement by weight or volume. The measurement by weight is to measure the amount of addition with a balance. However, when the weight of the coloring component to be added is extremely small relative to the base paint, measurement by weight may be difficult.

In comparison, the measurement by volume can be measured by a piston pump or the like having a measuring gauge or the like such as a syringe, and the weight of the coloring component added to the base paint is extremely small. In this case, it can be easily performed. Also, when measured by capacity,
Since the color coating product is indicated by weight, it is necessary to convert the amount of the required coloring component weight to be measured into a volume.

The specific gravity of the coloring component required for the conversion is preferably measured at appropriate intervals. The specific gravity of the coloring component is often influenced by the temperature at the time of measurement, and is measured before the production of the colored coating product or at an appropriate period such as when there is a temperature change, and the measurement also produces the colored coating product. It is preferably a location.

The mixing area is an area where the base paint and the coloring component are mixed. This mixing is performed using a mixing device. Further, in the container filled with the base paint in the storage area, mixing time, mixing data of the mixing conditions are written, the mixing data is read by a data reading device provided in the coloring area or the mixing area,
Based on the read data, it is preferable to set a mixing time and mixing conditions by a mixing device to obtain a colored coating product.

By doing so, the same type
In the same color paint product, the mixing time and the mixing conditions are constant, and a stable product can be obtained.Also, the mixing time and the mixing conditions are automatically set, and even if the type of the color paint product changes. Thus, the management and operation of the mixing process are facilitated. The mixing time is the time required for mixing, and the mixing conditions are the strength required for mixing. The mixing time and the mixing conditions are appropriately set in consideration of the viscosity of the base paint and the like.

The mixing device may be any device that can add a coloring component to the base paint and sufficiently disperse the coloring component, but a gyro mixer that does not require washing of the mixing device may be used. it can. A gyro mixer is a mixing device in which a shaft holding a container rotates and revolves, and applies a horizontal rotation and a vertical rotation to a base paint and a coloring component in the container. In the toning factory using this gyro mixer, unlike the method using a rotary wing mixer,
Since there is no need to wash the mixer, and no wastewater is generated due to the washing, there is no need to provide a wastewater treatment facility. In addition, the emission of waste such as sludge from wastewater is greatly reduced. Furthermore, the weight of the colored paint product does not change due to the loss of the colored paint product adhering to the rotor mixer.

The above-mentioned rotary blade mixer is a mixer using rotary blades, in which rotating and vertically moving blades and blades are placed in a container and mechanically mixed and stirred.
After adding a coloring component from a base paint filling port provided on the upper surface of a container or the like, a stirring blade of the mixer is inserted and mixed.

The stock area is an area for storing the obtained colored paint products, and is grouped in the stock area for each type and color tone of the colored paint products.
It is preferable to stock and group and stock according to the shipping date and place of the colored paint products.
By stocking separately for each type of color paint product and for each color tone, it becomes easy to confirm the type of color paint product and the amount of color tone that can be shipped. Further, by grouping and stocking the colored paint products according to the orderer, the shipping date, and the shipping destination, errors in shipping can be reduced.

The orderer, shipping destination, and shipping date of the colored paint product are written in the container filled with the base paint in the storage area, and the shipping data is stored in any of the colored area, the mixed area, and the stock area. More preferably, the color paint products are read by a data reading device provided in one of them, and the colored paint products are grouped in a stock area based on the read data. By doing so, mistakes in shipping can be reduced, automation can be achieved, and shipping can be performed efficiently.

Further, it is preferable that the coloring data and the mixed data are bar codes or two-dimensional codes. Unlike the shipping data, the coloring data and the mixed data are data necessary only for manufacturing the colored paint product, and the data is unnecessary for a person who uses the colored paint product. Therefore, the data read by the data reading device is an efficient barcode or two-dimensional code.

The bar code or the two-dimensional code may be a commonly used one, as long as each data is sufficiently stored. Further, the coloring data and the mixed data may be stored in the same barcode or two-dimensional code. In addition, shipping data can be stored in a barcode or a two-dimensional code, and the shipping data stored in the barcode or the two-dimensional code can be used when grouping in the stock area. In the case of shipment and delivery, description in characters is required.

It is sufficient that the reading device is a general optical reading device capable of reading data stored in the barcode or the two-dimensional code. Also,
The reading device is installed in the coloring area, mixing area,
Installed in front of each area of the stock area, you can read necessary data in each area in front of each area,
In the first coloring area, necessary data may be read in all areas.
