Since UV-curable paint has a great rust-preventing effect on the surface of steel materials, in recent years, UV-curable paint has come to be applied not only to steel plates but also to the outer surfaces of pipe rods. The ultraviolet curing paint applied to the outer surface of the steel pipe can be cured, for example, by irradiating it with ultraviolet light from an ultraviolet irradiation lamp, but it is desirable that the curing be performed as efficiently as possible.

This invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned matters, and it is possible to move a rod-shaped tube whose outer surface is coated with an ultraviolet curing paint, and use an ultraviolet irradiation lamp placed outside the rod-shaped tube to detect the effects of light during movement. In the method of irradiating the surface of the ultraviolet curing paint applied to the outer surface of the tube rod-like body with ultraviolet rays and thus curing the ultraviolet curing paint applied to the outer surface of the tube rod-like body, the tube rod-like body has a mantle that can transmit ultraviolet light. The surface of the ultraviolet curing paint that moves through the tube and is applied to the outer surface of the tube rod-like body is irradiated with ultraviolet rays through the cannula, and between the cannula and the tube rod-like body in the cannula, It is characterized by being filled with inert gas.

As shown in FIG. 1, one end of an annular frame 4 is attached to the outer surface of one end of the housing 2 so as to cover one opening 2a from the outside. Annular frame 4
The other end opening 4a is sized to allow the steel pipe 1 to pass therethrough. The other end opening 4a of the annular frame 4
and the other opening 2a of the housing 2 are each fitted with a rubber plate 5 formed around a circular hole 5a having a diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the steel pipe 1. Therefore, the steel pipe 1 passes through the annular frame 4 and the sleeve 3, and at that time, each of the two rubber plates 5
The outer surface of the steel pipe 1, the annular frame 4, and the sleeve 3 form a chamber 7 that is kept airtight. A supply source (not shown) of an inert gas such as N2 is provided on the peripheral wall of the annular frame 4.
An inert gas supply pipe 6 is attached to the inert gas supply pipe 6, and inert gas is supplied into the annular frame 4 through this inert gas supply pipe 6.

The gas fills the chamber 7 formed by the gas, creating an inert atmosphere with very little O 2 .

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a plurality of (for example, 12 to 18) lamps 8 that generate ultraviolet light are located outside the steel pipe 1 in the housing 2, and are axially connected to the steel pipe 1. They are arranged horizontally and at equal intervals along the circumference of the steel pipe 1. Each lamp 8 is held by a holder 9 having a reflecting plate 9a, and the holder 9 is supported by the housing 2 by support means (not shown).
Note that the reflection plate 9a is curved in an arc shape so as to be concentric with the lamp 8. Therefore, on the surface of the ultraviolet curing paint applied to the outer surface of the steel pipe 1, the surfaces irradiated with the ultraviolet rays from each lamp 8 overlap with each other, so that a uniform illumination distribution is obtained over the entire circumference of the steel pipe 1. Incidentally, it is preferable that adjacent lamps 8 are arranged at intervals such that, for example, the tube center angle of the steel pipe 1 is 45 degrees or less. If it exceeds 45°, lamp 8 will be too far apart, and steel pipe 1 will
This is because a uniform illuminance distribution is not obtained on the surface of the ultraviolet curing paint applied to the outer surface of. Also,
If the distance between the outer surface of the steel pipe 1 and the lamp 8 is too far, the irradiation efficiency will deteriorate; if the distance is too close, there is a risk of mechanical contact between the two, and it will be difficult to obtain a uniform illuminance distribution ( For example, this distance is preferably 40 to 150 mm from the steel pipe surface).

As shown in FIG. 1, a cooling gas supply duct 10 and a cooling gas discharge duct 11 for cooling the lamp 8, the holder 9, and the sleeve 3 are provided at two locations at the upper end of the housing 2, respectively. It is installed so that it communicates with the inside. The cooling gas thus enters the housing 2 through the supply duct 10 and out of the housing 2 through the exhaust duct 11, while the lamp 8, the holder 9 and the sleeve 3 are cooled by the cooling gas. be done.

With the above configuration, the ultraviolet curing paint applied to the outer surface of the steel pipe 1 is absorbed from the lamp 8 that has passed through the sleeve 3 in an inert gas atmosphere when the steel pipe 1 passes through the housing 2. The ultraviolet rays are uniformly irradiated, and the entire surface is cured evenly and efficiently. That is, in the present invention, since there is very little O 2 in an atmosphere filled with inert gas, when the UV curable paint is irradiated with UV rays under such conditions, the UV curable paint is cured extremely efficiently. The reason is considered to be as follows. That is, when a UV-curable paint is placed in the presence of O 2 (for example, in the air), the surface layer reacts with O 2 to cause a chemical reaction. Therefore, when UV-curable paint is irradiated with UV rays in this state, This is because it becomes difficult for ultraviolet rays to reach those deep layers. Therefore, the curing efficiency of the ultraviolet curable coating material deteriorates, and it is necessary to use a high-output lamp or to perform irradiation for a long time. Therefore, according to the present invention, an ultraviolet curable coating material can be sufficiently cured by using a low-output lamp or by irradiating it for a short period of time. In addition, in the present invention, since the sleeve 3 is provided, the ultraviolet curing paint applied to the outer surface of the steel pipe 1 may sag (fall).
Damage to the lamp 8 caused by this can be prevented.

Prepare a steel pipe with an outer diameter of 298.4 mmφ, and inside the housing as a sleeve tube with an inner diameter of 350 mmφ.
On the other hand, 18 UV irradiation lamps with an effective length of 50 cm and a power output of 80 W were placed at equal intervals along the circumference of the main pipe (therefore, the center angle of the pipe was 20°), and the distance from the steel pipe surface was 90°.
It was arranged so that it was mm. An illumination intensity of 200 mW/cm 2 was obtained on the outer surface of the steel pipe almost uniformly along the circumference of the pipe. Then, acrylic ultraviolet curing paint (viscosity: 100C.P. at 50°C) was applied to the outer surface of the steel pipe to a thickness of 20 μm, and then the steel pipe was passed through the housing and coated on the outer surface. The travel speed necessary for uniformly and sufficiently curing the ultraviolet curable paint was determined to be 2 m/sec.
