As described above, in the conventional oxygen curing paint, it takes a long time to cure to the inside because the curing gradually proceeds from the surface of the coating film that comes into contact with oxygen in the air. Also, the hardness inside the coating film may be insufficient.
In the present invention, regardless of whether it is aqueous or oily, a sufficient amount of oxygen is mixed in the paint before the oxygen-cured paint is sprayed from the nozzle and applied to the object, so that the curing speed of the coating film can be applied. An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for applying an oxygen-curing paint that can significantly speed up to the inside of the film and can sufficiently increase the hardness after curing.

A paint mixing unit, and an injection unit that injects the oxygen water mixed paint generated in the oxygen water / paint mixing unit.
The invention according to claim 2 is a hydrate decomposition tank that generates oxygen and oxygen water in which oxygen is dissolved by heating and decomposing oxygen gas hydrate , and transports oxygen generated by the hydrate decomposition tank An oxygen supply pipe for generating oxygen mixed paint by mixing oxygen conveyed by the oxygen supply pipe with oxygen-cured paint, and an oxygen mixed paint generated in the oxygen / paint mixture part. And an injection unit for injecting.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a base, a mixing portion which is a space provided in the base, a flow path extending forward from the mixing portion, and an injection portion for coating material spray provided at a tip of the flow path A first slide mechanism supported to be movable back and forth along the base body, a second slide mechanism supported to be movable back and forth along the base body, and rotated by the gas.

Prevents the flow of oxygen or oxygen water from the hydrate decomposition tank into the mixing section, and when the lever is in the open position, the first slide mechanism and the second slide mechanism are opened. Thus, the oxygen-curing paint and the oxygen or oxygen water are allowed to flow into the mixing portion and mixed .

In the present invention, oxygen generated by the decomposition of oxygen hydrate or oxygen water in which oxygen is dissolved is mixed in advance into the oxygen curable paint sprayed by the oxygen curable paint coating apparatus, and the sprayed paint is cured. The time required for this has been greatly reduced.
That is, in the case of a water-based oxygen-curing paint, since the inside of the oxygen hydrate decomposition tank is at a high pressure, a high concentration of oxygen is dissolved in the water produced from the oxygen hydrate. This oxygen-dissolved water (oxygen water) is mixed with an aqueous oxygen-curing paint and sprayed. In the case of an oil-based oxygen-curing paint, the paint is sprayed using high-pressure oxygen generated from oxygen hydrate. In either case, since a large amount of oxygen is taken into the oxygen-curing coating liquid, the curing speed is increased and a high-hardness coating film is obtained.

The hydrate decomposition tank 2 includes a net 2a inside, and has a configuration in which an oxygen gas hydrate 3 is placed on the net 2a. When the oxygen gas hydrate on the net 2a is decomposed by heating (including being placed at room temperature), the oxygen water 5 accumulates at the bottom of the tank located below the net 2a, and the oxygen 6 is above the tank. Accumulate.
In the case of the coating apparatus 1 that handles the water-based oxygen curable coating 16, as shown in FIG. 1A, oxygen water 5 having a high oxygen concentration is supplied to the water supply pipe 10 by using the high pressure in the hydrate decomposition tank 2. The Next, oxygen water 5 having a high oxygen concentration is mixed with the water-based oxygen-curing paint 16 in the oxygen water / paint mixing unit 15 disposed in the middle of the water supply pipe 10, and finally, the nozzle 20 applies the object to the coating object. It is injected against. According to this device configuration, the oxygen water 5 is pumped using the internal pressure in the hydrate decomposition tank 2, so that no additional device such as a compressor is required, and the device is downsized, simplified, and reduced in cost. it can.

Thus, the oxygen water 5 produced | generated by decomposition | disassembly of oxygen gas hydrate is mixed with the aqueous | water-based oxygen hardening coating material 16 before injection, and is coated by the coating object. A large amount of oxygen is dissolved in the oxygen water 5, and the coating film formed by being applied to the object to be coated is quickly cured by the large amount of oxygen contained in the paint itself.
An example of the water-based oxygen curable paint is an aqueous alkyd resin paint using an alkyd resin emulsion as a binder.

Next, the coating apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1B is for an oil-based oxygen-curing coating, and decomposes by applying heat to the oxygen gas hydrate 3 that is an ice-like substance in which oxygen molecules and water molecules are combined. Thus, the hydrate decomposition tank 2 that generates oxygen water 5 and oxygen 6, the oxygen supply pipe 30 that transfers the oxygen 6 generated by the hydrate decomposition tank 2 to the outside of the tank, and the oxygen that is transferred by the oxygen supply pipe 30 6 is mixed with an oxygen-curing paint 36 supplied from a paint tank (not shown) to generate an oxygen-mixed paint 41, and the oxygen-mixed paint 41 generated in the oxygen / paint-mixing section 35 is sprayed. Nozzle (injection unit) 40.
In the case of the coating apparatus 1 that handles the oil-based oxygen curable coating 36, oxygen is conveyed to the oxygen supply pipe 30 using the high pressure in the hydrate decomposition tank as shown in FIG. Next, oxygen 6 is mixed with the oil-based oxygen-cured paint 36 in the oxygen / paint mixing unit 35 disposed in the middle of the oxygen supply pipe 30 and finally injected from the nozzle 40 onto the object to be coated. . According to this apparatus configuration, oxygen is pumped by utilizing the internal pressure in the hydrate decomposition tank 2, so that no compressor attachment device is required, and the apparatus can be reduced in size, simplified, and reduced in cost.

Thus, the oxygen 6 generated by the decomposition of the oxygen gas hydrate is mixed with the oil-based oxygen-curing paint 36 before being sprayed and applied to the object to be coated. A large amount of oxygen is contained in the coated film, and the coated film formed by being applied to the object to be coated is quickly cured by the large amount of oxygen contained in the coating itself.
Examples of the oil-based oxygen curable paint include an alkyd resin paint using an alkyd resin as a binder.

Next, FIG. 2 is a view for explaining the configuration of a spray gun as an example of an oxygen curing paint coating apparatus according to the present invention.

The first slide mechanism A includes a first slider 55 that includes a paint introduction hole 56 that can selectively communicate with the upper opening 52a of the mixing unit 52, and that can advance and retreat in the longitudinal direction indicated by an arrow. And a first elastic member 57 that urges the coating material introduction hole 56 and the mixing portion 52 in the closing direction (right direction in the drawing). One end of the first elastic member 57 is fixed at a suitable position on the base and the other end is fixed to the first slider 55, thereby constantly urging the first slider 55 rightward (in the closing direction). ing.
In the closed state illustrated by the solid line, the paint introduction hole 56 and the mixing portion 52 are not in communication.

  The second slide mechanism B includes an oxygen water introduction hole 66 that can selectively communicate with the lower opening 52b of the mixing unit 52, and a second slider 65 that can advance and retreat in the longitudinal direction indicated by an arrow. A second elastic member 67 that urges 65 in the closing direction (left direction in the drawing) in which the oxygen water introduction hole 66 and the mixing portion 52 do not communicate with each other. One end of the second elastic member 67 is fixed at an appropriate position of the base and the other end is fixed to the second slider 65, thereby constantly urging the second slider 65 to the left (in the closing direction). ing.

A hydrate decomposition tank 2 as shown in FIG. 1 is connected below the second slide mechanism B, and high-pressure oxygen water generated by decomposing oxygen hydrate in the hydrate decomposition tank 2. 5 is supplied from the oxygen water supply path 70 to the oxygen water introduction hole 66.
In the standby state indicated by the solid line, since the second slider 65 is urged to the left by the second elastic member 67, the oxygen water supply path 70 and the oxygen water introduction hole 66 are not in communication. As a result, the oxygen water supply path (water supply pipe) 70 and the mixing section 52 are also in a non-communication state.
As shown by the broken line, when the second slider 65 slides to the right (opening direction) against the urging force of the elastic member 67, the oxygen water introduction hole 66 is located between the oxygen water supply path 70 and the mixing portion 52. Is connected to the mixing section 52.

  The fluid cup D includes a cup body 60 that contains a water-based oxygen-curing paint 61, and a fluid cup paint discharge port 62 that is closed by the upper surface of the slider 55 when the paint introduction hole 56 and the mixing portion 52 are not in communication. ing. In the standby state (closed state) indicated by the solid line, the paint discharge port 62 is closed by the first slider 55, but the first slider 55 is attached to the second elastic member 57 as indicated by the broken line. When sliding to the nozzle side against the force, the paint discharge port 62 and the mixing part 52 are in communication with each other through the paint introduction hole 56, and the aqueous oxygen-curing paint 61 is supplied into the mixing part 52. .

Thus, the operation in which the aqueous oxygen-curing paint 61 in the fluid cup D is supplied into the mixing unit 52 and the operation in which the oxygen water 5 from the hydrate decomposition tank 2 is supplied into the mixing unit 52 are almost simultaneously performed. As a result, oxygen water 5 having a high oxygen concentration is mixed with the oxygen-curing paint 61 in the mixing unit 52. In this embodiment, this mixing operation is realized by operating the lever C.

The first slider 55 is connected to a first slider 55 by a connecting member 81 extending from an upper proper position, and is further connected to the second slider 65 by a connecting member 82 extending from a lower proper position rather than the pin 80.

When the operator pulls the lever C in the closed position indicated by the solid line counterclockwise with a finger or the like to the open position indicated by the broken line, the second slider 65 is moved forward (nozzle side) via the connecting member 82. , The first elastic member 57 contracts, and the paint introduction hole 56 moves forward. As a result, the paint introduction hole 56 coincides with the flow path 62 of the oxygen curable paint 61, and the oxygen curable paint 61 in the fluid cup D is supplied to the mixing unit 52 by gravity.
Further, when the lever C is rotated to the open position, the first slider 55 moves rearward via the connecting member 81, whereby the second elastic member 67 extends and the oxygen water introduction hole 66 moves rearward. The communication position indicated by the broken line is reached. As a result, the oxygen water introduction hole 66 communicates with the oxygen water supply path 70 and the lower opening 52b, and the oxygen water 5 generated by the decomposition of the oxygen hydrate is supplied to the mixing unit 52.

By performing the operation of rotating the lever C in the opening direction in this way, the oxygen curing paint 61 and the oxygen water 5 are introduced and mixed in the mixing portion 52 to become the oxygen water mixed paint 21 through the nozzle 54. Sprayed. Since the oxygen water 5 generated by the decomposition of the oxygen gas hydrate is pumped using the pressure in the decomposition tank 2, a compressor that causes an increase in size and cost is omitted and the spray gun is configured. Can do. And since a necessary and sufficient amount of oxygen is mixed in the coating film formed on the object to be coated, it can be cured in a short time until reaching the inside of the coating film.
In the above-described embodiment, the configuration of the spray gun using the water-based oxygen curable paint has been described. However, the configuration of this spray gun can also be used for the oil-based oxygen curable paint. That is, the oil-based oxygen-cured coating material is accommodated in the fluid cup D, and the high-pressure oxygen supplied from the decomposition tank 2 is supplied to the oxygen water supply path (oxygen supply pipe) 70, so The oxygen-curing paint may be mixed at

As described above, in the present invention, oxygen generated by the decomposition of oxygen hydrate or oxygen water in which oxygen is dissolved is mixed and injected into the oxygen-curing paint sprayed by the oxygen-curing paint coating apparatus. It is possible to greatly reduce the time required for the paint to cure.
That is, in the case of a water-based oxygen curable coating, since the inside of the oxygen hydrate decomposition tank is at a high pressure, a high concentration of oxygen is dissolved in the water produced from the oxygen hydrate. This oxygen-dissolved water (oxygen water) is jetted mixed with an aqueous oxygen-curing paint. In the case of an oil-based oxygen-curing paint, the paint is sprayed using high-pressure oxygen generated from oxygen hydrate. In either case, since a large amount of oxygen is taken into the oxygen-curing coating liquid, the curing speed is increased and a high-hardness coating film is obtained. Moreover, since the pressure in an oxygen hydrate decomposition tank can be utilized in any case, a compressor is not required.
