By with reference to detailed explanation and accompanying drawing, this accompanying drawing has shown the embodiment of the preferred structure of several embodiments principle of the present invention by the mode of example, and for being familiar with those skilled in the art, many other advantages and features of the present invention are clearly.
Describe the present invention below in detail:
Fig. 1 represents a kind of method of the manufacturing of lamination continuously cross-laminated stretched non-woven fibre.The latitude fiber web 2a through fiber web 1 and a series of non-woven fibres that are stretched of the non-woven fibre that vertical (length direction) that the cross-laminated stretched non-woven fibre generally is made of vertical fiber arranged silk stretches, 2b, 2c constitutes.By the overlapped longitude and latitude fiber web that makes in the edge of latitude fiber is combined.When continuous latitude fiber web 2 is laterally delivered to through fiber web 1 top by the timing relationship that moves through fiber web relatively, block a section length that equals the footpath web width substantially by continuous latitude fiber web 2 orders longitudinal stretching non-woven fibre (being same as through fiber web 1), latitude fiber web 2a-2c is disposed on fiber web 1.Then by the heat bonding handle directly with cementing medium, latitude fiber web 1 and 2 bonds together, cementing medium with continuously or the form of being interrupted the band glue fiber of making remain at least through, latitude fiber web 1, on one of them of 2, cementing medium glue can be the main polymer in the extruding, short raw fiber, rubber powder or blowing agent, bonding warp, latitude fiber web 1 and 2 can be immersed in it in liquid glue earlier as in the latex, push then to remove unnecessary glue, adopt natural air drying and dry then with method or the heated drying chamber or the infra-red furnace of hot blast drying, warp, the latitude fiber web also can be used mechanical means, is stitched together with the stylus printer hole of being with hangnail.
According to above-mentioned cross-laminated method, can produce the cross-laminated stretched non-woven fiber with the speed of per minute 40-50 rice, even the width of this fiber is greater than 3 meters.It is through, the fibroreticulate cross-laminated intensity that filament mutually combines that increases of latitude that this longitude and latitude fiber web 1 and 2 also has an advantage because before compacting is bonding drawing of fiber net 1 and 2 o'clock contingent partial fracture, disconnection can remedy and improve.The cross-laminated stretched non-woven fiber of Zhi Zaoing all has higher intensity on length direction and width like this.For example, non-woven fibre of the present invention with the non-woven fibre of the common irregular alignment of weight relatively, tensile strength is up to more than 3 times.Equally, the impact strength of fiber of the present invention, tensile strength, shock resistance, seam tensile property are about five times of non-woven fibre of common irregular alignment.In addition, compare with preceding described two kinds of fibers, Young's modulus of the present invention will exceed five times, and elongation is less.In addition, the non-woven fibre that is stretched across of the present invention has fabulous DIMENSIONAL STABILITY.
Fig. 2 represents another kind of laminating method of the present invention, and wherein, what have vertically sends in the fiber net lamination device to the continuous nonwoven web 3 of nonwoven web 1 that stretches and laterally broad ways stretching in other words along length in other words mutually through fiber web stackedly.Overlapping footpath, latitude fiber web 1 and 3 sequentially are laminated on together when mip rolls 4a, the 4b of a pair of compounding practice, hot pressing roller 5 and mip rolls 6 transmit, and mip rolls 6 is that relatively hot pressure roller 5 is installed.Warp and latitude fiber web 1 and 3 also are with the method gluing shown in the embodiment among Fig. 1.Using under the situation of latex as adhesive, when being centered around mip rolls 4a through, latitude fiber web 1,3 when transmitting, mip rolls 4a part is immersed in the groove of latax so that provide glue to fiber web 1,3.The laminated nonwoven fibre strength of embodiment 1 is basic identical among laminated nonwoven fiber 7 and Fig. 1.Opposite with the latitude fiber web 2a-2c of embodiment among Fig. 11, because latitude fiber web 3 is continuous, there is not lap, on whole area, be homogeneous texture so there is not fiber 7.
Formation is the fiber of non-substantially orientation before stretching through the fiber of fiber web 1,2 and latitude fiber web 2a-2c.The device of melt spinning comprises a nozzle plate or spinning head, it has spinning melt that center spinneret 8 is used for pushing polymerization system material downwards forming filament 9, and several the 1st tiltedly make the hole from 10-1---10-6 (embodiment expresses 6 figure) with identical angular spacing around nozzle 8 circular array.They are used for filament 9 jet.When fiber is extruded, make its in the shape of a spiral shape move down the taper that forms downward flaring, a pair of antipodal level second air admission hole 11, this hole 11 is respectively on the both sides of nozzle 8, and in the first pore 10-1---the downstream of 10-6, jet towards the capable direction of motion of mutually opposed Horizon in dividing plate net 12, thus spray feed chew 8 under form two strands of air blankings.Two bursts of gas shocks cause the screw of fiber 9, laterally outwards form net 13 at dividing plate on 12 along distributing perpendicular to nonwoven web 13 directions of motion simultaneously.
The 1st oblique pore 10-1 of spinning head---10-6 and nozzle 8 is tangent line and extends as shown in Figure 3, and the center line of nozzle 8 tilts to extend as shown in Figure 4 at an angle relatively.Because this arrangement, from each pore 10-1---greatly to merging together, this meet leaves more than 8 centimetres of nozzles to greater than ten centimeters downwards on a scope for air-flow that 10-6 blows out.The air flow that compiles like this causes the screw of aforesaid fiber 9.The fiber 9 that drops on the screen cloth 12 is mainly made non-woven fibre 13 by transversely arranged or arrangement, so non-woven fibre 13 is particularly suitable for carrying out cross directional stretch.In addition, if from the 1st pore 10-1---the air flow that 10-6 blows out impacts fiber 9 is distributed on the certain limit it on a large scale before the air-flow that fiber 9 is blown out by the 2nd pore 11 distributes, can be with the 1st pore 10-1---10-6 is arranged near the nozzle 8 as the crow flies.The melt-spun device of producing non-woven fibre 13 has a spinning head, and the width of this device is 100mm-300mm.Can produce with another kind of melt-spun device greater than the 300mm non-woven fibre, this device is furnished with the spinning head of a plurality of horizontally sets.In addition, by utilize the melt-spun device energy high-speed production fine groove non-woven fibre that a plurality of spinning heads are set on non-woven fibre is vertical.
From the 1st pore 10-1---the fusion temperature to be higher than the polymeric material of making fiber 9 of the air that 10-6 and the 2nd pore 11 blow out heats.To the 1st pore 10-1---whether the heating of the air that blows out in 10-6 and the 2nd pore 11 can save, and this depends on the kind of used polymeric material.Use hot-air, the fiber 9 during shaping is without basic molecularly oriented.
The aforesaid spinning head that is used to make the non-woven fibre that is made of non-molecule orientation fibers is provided with along the fibre length direction substantially.In this case, the position of spinning head from Fig. 3 changeed 90 ° around the center line of nozzle 8.Extend in this position pore 11 non-woven fibre travel direction when making the position that reaches the 2nd pore 11.The non-woven fibre of making like this is particularly suitable for the longitudinal stretching method.
The material that is suitable for manufacturing non-woven fiber product of the present invention comprises polyolefin for example high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP), polyester, nylon, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene is fine, polyvinyl alcohol, polyurethane and other polymer, they are suitable for being stretched, and intensity increases after stretching.
According to an important characteristic of the present invention, the raw material that are used for manufacturing non-woven fibre comprise the fiber of non-orientation substantially.The characteristic of the fiber of non-orientation is as follows:
(a) yield strength is low: can elongate with little power;
(b) if any proper temperature long development length (than long several times of original length) can be arranged
(c) and suitably under the room temperature higher-strength is arranged after draft temperature stretches.
Experiment shows that the non-woven fiber product that non-orientation fibers makes can be stretched under certain pulling force, this pulling force is lower than or is substantially equal to the intensity that mutually combines between each fiber.In this case, each filament is stretched to a certain degree---and they are roughly parallel to draw direction and are rearranged.(ratio of (broad ways) changed to 5: 1-10 from 7: 3: 1 scope with transverse strength by the longitudinal strength that stretches like this (along its length) owing to each fiber.
In fact strict, non-orientation fibers can have molecularly oriented fully, yet non-orientation fibers comprises that those can be made by melt-spun than the fiber of this high-elongation of fiber (preferably greater than 2 times) of the long several times of raw footage, as previously mentioned and can be referring to Fig. 3 to 5.
Opposite with non-woven fibre of the present invention, the non-woven fibre of common irregular alignment only is to connect structure with the mechanical attachment method or with the bonding filametntary plane that combines of bond medium, because bond strength is less than monofilament intensity between the fiber, this class non-woven fibre that only stretches can cause the destruction that mutually combines between the filament automatically before filament stretches substantially or rearranges.Have, common drawing process is never considered various scramblings again, promptly shows the thickness of non-woven fibre.Combination degree between the filament, and the equal Shu Li between the non-woven fibre.The non-woven fibre of these scramblings may cause fracture because stress concentrates on some the structural weak place of non-woven fibre or the part when stretching.Can not make non-woven fibre produce the effect that stretches at double with common drawing process like this.
Have, common non-woven fibre comprises staple fibre or filament again.Spinning in the fiber of the irregular alignment that can make owing to the available again wet processing method of processing method, staple fibre can link together securely with mechanical connection or the method that sticks with glue knot.Because the firm connection of staple fibre, the stretching of non-woven fibre is practically impossible.Even when non-woven fibre stretched, the tensile force that is distributed on whole fibers was uneven.In addition, by the non-woven fibre that filament is formed, if used filament has bubble or a large amount of impurity, fiber also is to be difficult to stretch.Common filament stretched before being processed into non-woven fibre to be strengthened, for example when filament in when weaving, filamentary intensity is therefore much bigger than the intensity that mutually combines between the filament, so that the stretching of stretching spinning-less fiber will can not cause destroying and filametntaryly mutually combine and stretch or rearrange.Can be stretched in the vertical with the device among Fig. 6 or by device among Fig. 7 generally along vertical arrangement or along the non-woven fibre that the non-orientation fibers 9 that the non-woven fibre length direction is arranged constitutes.
In the device in Fig. 6, non-woven fibre 14 is a pair of pressure roller 15a by compounding practice, and 15b sends into, and during this non-woven fibre 14 was preheated, it transmitted around roller 16.Then, the non-woven fibre 14 of preheating sequentially is transmitted around a pair of draw roll 17a and the 17b that separate a little.In the present embodiment, when draw roll 17b when being higher than draw roll 17a rotational speed, fiber 14 is by longitudinal stretching.Because stretching spinning-less fiber 14 along its length, each fiber all is stretched, and thus, causes wherein inner molecularly oriented.Like this, when non-woven fibre that longitudinal stretching is crossed 14 imported on the Heat treating roll 18, it was by heat cure.The stretching spinning-less fiber 14 of heat cure roller 19 cooling curings that are cooled are again removed from pressure roller 20 then.The stretching spinning-less fiber removed like this constitutes the non-woven fibre that stretches along its length continuously through fiber web 21, this fiber web 21 than the back as produce lamination stretching spinning-less fiber goods through fiber web 1,2, as described above.As depicted in figs. 1 and 2.In order to obtain uniform stretching spinning-less fiber, the drawing zone between draw roll 17a and the 17b is limited to minimum of a value.As a result, the diameter of draw roll 17a and 17b is less, and they are closely installed mutually and put.Preferably drawing zone is less than 1/10th of fiber web 14 original widths.
In device shown in Figure 7, the non-woven fibre 14 that the non-orientation fibers of vertically arranging generally along non-woven fibre 14 constitutes roughly is to move with non-woven fibre 14 length directions, sequentially center on a pair of pressure roller 22a, the 22b of compounding practice, live-rollers 23, a pair of backer roll 24a of compounding practice and 24b and pressure roller 25 are carried. Backer roll 24a and 24b are heated to suitable draft temperature and define the initial or original depth that its roller gap is less than non-woven fibre 14.Because backer roll 24b changes soon than backer roll 24a, when pushing through non-woven fibre 14 between backer roll 24a and the 24b, it is stretched along its length.By stretching spinning-less fiber 14 along its length, each filament all is stretched so that causes the molecularly oriented that it is inner.It is heated when hot pressing roller 24b is directed when the non-woven fibre 14 that stretches along its length.Jia Re stretching spinning-less fiber 14 is removed from pressure roller 25 then.
This non-woven fibre of removing from device 14 constitutes the continuous footpath fiber web 26 of the non-woven fibre that the footpath stretches along its length, this footpath fiber web be used as afterwards lamination stretching spinning-less fiber goods through fiber web 1 and 2, as previously mentioned also can be with reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2.This stretching rolling depression method has special advantage, and non-woven fibre can elongate several times, though non-woven fibre be not uniform thickness or fiber between mutual adhesion also like this when irregular.Another advantage is that the footpath fiber web that is stretched has the pearly-lustre surface.
The non-woven fibre that constitutes along the fiber 9 of the transversely arranged non-orientation of non-woven fibre can be stretched by the device lateral among Fig. 8 or Fig. 9.
Device shown in Fig. 8 comprises the belt pulley 29a and the 29b of a pair of lateral spacing, rotate and be symmetrical arranged with identical peripheral speed with the direction of motion of non-woven fibre 27, can limit two curved lines of expansion gradually along the neighboring, have a pair of endless- belt 30a and 30b to be defined pulling force tension on the following peripheral part of belt pulley 29a, 29b of expansion curved line.Belt pulley 29a and 29b lower part are in heating clamber 32.This heating clamber is used for heating non-woven fibre 27 when non-woven fibre 27 is centered around belt pulley 29a and the last conveying of 29b, in the operating process, longitudinally the non-woven fibre 27 of sending belt pulley 29a, 29b to by slewing rollers 28 is on its relative both sides or say that the marginal portion is clamped by belt pulley 29a, 29b and corresponding belt 30a and 30b, then when the two edges that clamp by two expand curved line the time be stretched.Because such stretching spinning-less fiber 27, cause the molecularly oriented that it is inner during non-orientation fibers cross directional stretch.During stretching, the hot water that non-woven fibre 27 is provided in heating clamber 32, hot-air or infrared heater heating.With under the situation of hot-air, preferably force air to pass non-woven fibre 27, increase the thermal efficiency like this.The non-woven fibre of cross directional stretch is that remove and constitute the latitude fiber web 33 of the non-woven fibre of cross directional stretch from slewing rollers 31, and this fiber web is afterwards as the latitude fiber web 3 of producing the lamination stretching spinning-less fiber, as shown in Figure 2.
Device among Fig. 9 comprises fluted roller 34a, the 34b of a pair of compounding practice, each roller 34a and 34b have a lot along the flat tooth 35 at interval of periphery, be meshed with the tooth 35 on relative grooved roller 34b or the 34a, when non-woven fibre pushes through between roller 34a, 34b by cross directional stretch.Cross directional stretch non-woven fibre 36 is stretched tight will pass through a pair of similar fluted roller then at least on stenter.(not shown) is through the rapid cross directional stretch of multistep, and last non-woven fibre has high draw ratio and structurally is uniform.Owing to used fluted roller 34a and 34b.In fact each horizontal juxtaposed narrow zone between adjacent teeth and roller 34a, 34b just drawn fiber.The stretching of this segmentation can remedy or eliminate the irregular of uneven thickness on the non-woven fibre and interfibrous restraining force, adhesion.Though do not express, the opposite end of each fluted roller 34a and 34b is a slotless, makes it can clamp the edge of non-woven fibre securely when stretching.Also can use and at the edge that around between the belt of grooved roller 34a, 34b opposed end, clamps non-woven fibre 36 of grooved roller 34a, 34b and a pair of annular tension.
Obviously according to above-mentioned principle, the present invention can have multiple improvement.So in claims scope, the present invention also can implement by other method.
