Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-225

  Bake curable coatings are used for automobile bodies. For example, in the case of intermediate coating or top coating, holding at 140 ° C. for 20 minutes is the standard for quality assurance of cured coatings. However, in the conventional paint drying apparatus, hot air does not easily flow into a narrow portion such as around the hinge of the door due to the structure of the automobile body, compared to the outer plate portion where hot air is easily blown. For this reason, there is a problem that it is difficult to satisfy the quality assurance standard such as holding at 140 ° C. × 20 minutes for the narrow portion.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a hot air rectifier and a coating drying method that satisfy the drying conditions of the wet coating film over the entire automobile body in the coating drying apparatus.

  The present invention blows hot air blown from a hot air outlet provided in a drying furnace main body to an automobile body including an outer plate portion and a narrow portion, and dries a coating film applied to the automobile body. The above problem is solved by deflecting the flow direction of the hot air blown from the hot air outlet of the drying furnace body in the direction toward the narrow portion by the deflecting plate of the hot air rectifier attached to the head.

  According to the present invention, hot air is caused to collide with a deflecting plate mounted on an automobile body, thereby deflecting the flow direction of the hot air in a direction toward the narrow portion of the automobile body. Thereby, drying of the coating film applied to the narrow portion is promoted, and predetermined drying conditions can be satisfied.

For example, even if the narrow portions N1, N2 in the vicinity of the hinges H1, H2 of the side door D are flowed to the top coat drying apparatus 1, hot air does not easily flow around and it is difficult to raise the temperature. For this reason, if the temperature rise time is set so that the narrow portion N does not meet the predetermined quality assurance standard and satisfies the quality assurance standard of the coating film applied to the narrow portion N, the coating drying furnace becomes longer and the capital investment increases. Invite.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the hot air is caused to collide with the deflecting plate 61 mounted on the vehicle body B via the mounting legs 62, so that the flow direction of the hot air is directed toward the narrow portion N of the vehicle body B. To be biased. Thereby, drying of the coating film applied to the narrow portion N is promoted, and the temperature raising time of the narrow portion N is shortened. As a result, the narrow portion N also satisfies predetermined drying conditions, and further suppresses the length of the drying furnace body 10 to be reduced, thereby reducing the equipment investment. Moreover, space saving of the coating line PL is achieved by suppressing the lengthening of the drying furnace body 10.

  In the present embodiment, the hot air deflected by the deflecting plate 61 is blown to the narrow portion N, so that the temperature of the narrow portion N is easily raised, and the drying of the coating film applied to the narrow portion N is promoted. . Thereby, the drying condition of the coating film of the narrow part N does not satisfy the quality assurance standard, and so-called baking sweetness is generated, and the deterioration of the coating film quality such as the coating film performance deterioration and the coating film peeling is suppressed. Can do.

  Moreover, since the hot air rectifier 60 of this embodiment can be used repeatedly, the running cost of the top coat drying process P52 can be reduced.
