Further, the duct 30 is provided with partition plates 31 and 32 which divide the internal space S between the upstream side and the downstream side of the rotational direction of the drum 40. Here, two sheets of the first partition 31 on the upstream side and the second partition 32 on the downstream side are provided side by side with reference to the rotation direction of the drum 40. The inner space S is divided into the following three spaces S ₁ , S ₂ and S ₃ by these partition plates 31 and 32.

First space S ₁ : A space on the upstream side (lower side in FIG. 2) than the first partition 31 Second space S ₂ : on the downstream side of the first partition 31 and from the second partition 32 Also upstream
(Lower side in Figure 2) space (one space)
· Third space S ₃ : space downstream of second partition plate 32 (other space)
The above-described duct 30 is provided with a supply member 50 described in detail below.

<Supply member>
The supply member 50 is a member for supplying the highly water-absorbent resin 14 to the internal space S of the duct 30.
Here, the supply member 50 is provided across the internal space S of the duct 30 and the external space O, and the highly water-absorbent resin 14 is introduced into the supply member 50 from the introduction part 80 in the external space O. Furthermore, the highly water-absorbent resin 14 introduced into the supply member 50 is fed to the internal space S by sliding down (falling) by gravity. Furthermore, since the internal space S of the duct 30 has a negative pressure with respect to the external space O, the superabsorbent polymer 14 is also drawn into the internal space S by this negative pressure.

In the supply member 50, two directions of a first direction (indicated by a solid arrow) and a second direction (indicated by an open arrow) are set as the direction of supply of the highly water-absorbent resin 14. The first direction and the second direction are set to cross each other. FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate an orientation in which the second direction is more upward than the first direction. More specifically, the first direction is a right downward facing second space S _2, cited supply member 50 which is the second direction is provided in the right upward orientation facing the third space S ₃ as an example.

The supply member 50, as shown in FIG. 3, the first direction is a first supply passage R ₁ for supplying a high water-absorbing resin 14 is formed by the first supplying portion 60, the superabsorbent polymer to the second direction A second supply passage R ₂ for supplying 14 is formed by the second supply unit 70.

--- First Supply Department-
First supply portion 60 is provided along the first feed path R _1, it is a guide member for guiding the supply of superabsorbent polymer 14. The first supply portion 60 is inclined downward and oriented to approach the drum 40 as it goes downward from above.
FIG. 3 exemplifies a first supply portion 60 in the form of a channel having an open top (a wedge shape having a U-shaped cross section with the open side facing upward, and a slide). That is, in the first supply unit 60, two standing wall portions 62 and 63 are provided upright from an axial end of the drum 40 in the bottom wall portion 61. The first supply passage R ₁ is formed in a space surrounded by these walls 61, 62 and 63.

Here, the first supply unit 60 is provided to extend in a straight line. Therefore, the flow direction of the superabsorbent polymer 14 in the first supply passage R ₁ is extending in the same direction of the first supply unit 60, both the first direction to illustrate the supply member 50 in the same direction. However, the shape in which the first supply portion extends may be a shape in which a plurality of straight lines are butted, or may be a curved shape. The flow direction of the superabsorbent polymer in the first supply passage in these cases is a direction along the extending straight line or the extending curve of the first supply portion.

On the upper surface 61a of the bottom wall portion 61 (portion facing the first feed path R _1), a groove portion 61b which communicates with the second space S ₂ extends along the first feed path R ₁ is provided. Here, a plurality of groove portions 61 b are arranged in parallel. The upper surface 61 a functions as a chute surface on which the highly water-absorbent resin 14 introduced from the introduction unit 80 slips.

By the way, as described above in the section of the [Background Art] mentioned above, in the technology in which only the lower side (one direction) is set in the supply direction of the high water absorption resin by the supply member, the high water absorption resin is desired for the absorber. There is a possibility that it can not be contained in the condition of For example, the area of the highly water-absorbent resin contained in the thickness direction of the core is uneven, which may lead to a decrease in water absorbency and water retention.
Therefore, in addition to the first supply unit 60 that supplies the highly water-absorptive resin 14 in the first direction, the highly absorbent resin 14 is also supplied to the supply member 50 of the present embodiment in the second direction different from the first direction. A second supply unit 70 for supplying is provided.

--- Second supply department-
The second supply unit 70, by closing a part of the first feed path R ₁ provided along a second feed path R _2, a guide member for guiding the supply of superabsorbent polymer 14.
The second supply unit 70 for some superabsorbent resin 14 flowing through the first supply passage R ₁ is then fed to the second direction by the second supply unit 70, high flowing through the first supply passage R ₁ The remaining part of the water absorbent resin 14 is supplied as it is in the first direction.

Therefore, the second supply unit 70, from the viewpoint of changing the part of the supply direction of the superabsorbent polymer 14 in the first supply passage R ₁ say "diversion unit", by the direction of the superabsorbent polymer 14 From the viewpoint of adjusting the distribution of supply amount, it can be said to be a "distribution control unit".
Here, the second supply unit 70 exemplifies a second supply unit 70 formed in a plate shape extending in the second direction. The second supply unit 70 coupled to the lower end 69 (downstream end) of the first supply unit 60 is taken as an example. In other words, it illustrates a second supply unit 70 disposed in the outlet (downstream end portion) of the superabsorbent polymer 14 in the first supply passage R _1.

Furthermore, a through hole 71 is bored in the second supply unit 70 along the first direction (first supply passage R ₁ ). Moreover, the second supply unit 70 is provided so as not to close the groove 61 b of the first supply unit 60 described above. That is, the upstream side and the downstream side with respect to the second supply portion 70 where the flow direction of the superabsorbent polymer 14 in the first supply passage R ₁ as a reference, are connected with each other by the groove 61b and the through-hole 71.
In addition, in FIG. 3, the 2nd supply part 70 in which the two through-holes 71 were provided is illustrated. However, the number of the through holes in the second supply unit 70 may be single or three or more.

Thus, while the second supply unit 70 is a part of the first feed path R ₁ is closed, the through-hole 71 and the groove 61b as described above, the other portion of the first supply passage R ₁ is closed communicating to the second space S ₂ is structurally secured without.
Therefore, obliquely upward to the superabsorbent polymer 14 partially collide, a collision of the superabsorbent polymer 14 flowing through the first supply passage R ₁ with respect to the second supply portion 70 is opened in the first supply portion 60 Change direction to (second direction). In this way, part of the superabsorbent polymer 14 flowing through the first supply passage R ₁ is supplied to the third space S _3. In contrast, the remaining part of the superabsorbent polymer 14 flowing through the first supply passage R _1, without being redirected by the second supply unit 70, obliquely downward (first through holes 71 and the groove 61b Distribution). In this way, the other part of the superabsorbent polymer 14 flowing through the first supply passage R ₁ is supplied to the second space S _2.

[2. Action and effect]
Since this embodiment is configured as described above, the following operations and effects can be obtained.
(1) In addition to the first supply unit 60 that supplies the highly water-absorptive resin 14 in the first direction, the supply member 50 also supplies the highly water-absorptive resin 14 in the second direction different from the first direction. A second supply unit 70 is provided. Thereby, the distribution of the superabsorbent polymer 14 in the absorber 10 can be adjusted.

Here, the absorbent body 10 in which the distribution of the superabsorbent polymer 14 is adjusted by the supply member 50 of the present case is compared with the absorbent bodies in the mixed states 1 and 2 shown below.
・ Mixed state 1: When the highly absorbent resin contained on the non-skin surface side of the core is uneven ・ Mixed state 2: When the highly absorbent resin contained on the skin side of the core is uneven

In the case of mixed state 1, the content of the highly water-absorbent resin is smaller on the skin side than on the non-skin side, so the liquid absorbed into the absorber can not be retained and leaks to the skin side again There is a risk of causing (hereinafter referred to as "wetback").
In the case of the mixed state 2, a large amount of highly water-absorbent resin is contained on the skin side rather than the non-skin side, so that the highly water-absorbent resin on the skin side swells by holding the liquid, There is a possibility that the phenomenon (hereinafter referred to as "gel block") in which the permeation of the liquid in the thickness direction on the skin surface side of the core is inhibited.

The absorber 10 in which the content of the highly water-absorbent resin 14 on the non-skin surface side is suppressed by the supply member 50 can be stacked on the absorber in the mixed state 1, and thereby the wetback can be suppressed.
For the absorbent body in the mixed state 2, the absorbent body 10 in which the content of the highly water-absorbent resin 14 on the skin surface side is suppressed by the supply member 50 can be laminated, whereby the gel block can also be suppressed.
Thus, the super absorbent polymer 14 can be contained in the absorber 10 in a desired state, and the absorber 10 can exhibit desired water absorbency and water retention.

(2) Since the second supply unit 70 is coupled to the lower end portion 69 of the first supply unit 60, the location where the highly water-absorbent resin 14 is supplied in the second direction is set at the lower portion of the supply member 50. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the excessive supply of the highly water-absorbent resin 14 to the upper portion (here, the downstream side in the rotational direction of the drum 40) of the internal space S. This contributes to the suppression of the inclusion of a large amount of highly water-absorbent resin on the non-skin surface side as in the above-described absorbent in the mixed state 1.
In addition, compared with the supply member in which the second supply portion is coupled to the middle portion in the vertical direction of the first supply portion, the operation of connecting the second supply portion 70 to the first supply portion 60 is easy. The manufacturing cost can be reduced.

(3) The second supply portion 70 through hole 71 along the first direction is bored, the groove 61b of the first supply portion 60 is extended in communication with the second space S _2. Because this way the second upstream side from the supply part 70 and the downstream side is communicated with the groove 61b and the through-hole 71, to ensure a portion of the superabsorbent polymer 14 flowing through the first supply passage R ₁ It can be supplied in the first direction.
Furthermore, the supply amount of the highly water-absorbent resin 14 in each direction can be adjusted by appropriately setting the dimensions and the number of the grooves 61 b and the through holes 71.

For example, the supply amount of the highly water-absorbent resin 14 in the first direction can be increased by increasing the dimensions or the number of the grooves 61 b and the through holes 71. In this case, it is possible to reliably suppress the inclusion of a large amount of highly water-absorbent resin on the non-skin surface side as in the above-described absorbent in the mixed state 1.
On the other hand, the amount of the highly water-absorbent resin 14 in the first direction can be reduced by reducing the dimensions of the grooves 61 b and the through holes 71 and by reducing the number of the grooves 61 b and the through holes 71. In this case, it is possible to reliably suppress that a large amount of highly water-absorbent resin is contained on the skin surface side as in the above-described mixed state 2 absorber.
Thus, the highly water-absorbent resin 14 can be accurately contained in the absorber 10 in a desired state, and the absorber 10 can reliably exhibit desired water absorbability and water retention.

(4) to the molding unit 21 of the manufacturing apparatus 20, the first direction together with the facing second space S _2, the supply member 50 is provided in an orientation in which the second direction toward the third space S _3. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the uneven supply of the second space superabsorbent polymer 14 to S _2. Therefore, the mixing of the highly water-absorbent resin 14 which is biased to the middle region in the thickness direction of the core 12 can be suppressed. Here, the mixing amount of the highly water-absorbent resin 14 to the non-skin surface side of the core 12 can be secured. Therefore, gel block can be suppressed reliably.

(5) In the supply member 50 attached to the molding unit 21, the supply direction (that is, the second direction) of the superabsorbent polymer 14 by the second supply unit 70 is set obliquely upward. Therefore, the superabsorbent polymer 14 has collided with the second supply unit 70 flows through the first supply passage R ₁ slides down along the orientation of the second supply unit 70. Therefore, deposition of the highly absorbent resin 14 on the second supply unit 70 can be suppressed, and the introduced highly absorbent resin 14 can be reliably supplied to the internal space S. Specifically, the superabsorbent polymer 14 which slide down the second supply unit 70 is supplied to the second space S ₂ through the through hole 71 and the groove 61b. Also from this point, the superabsorbent polymer 14 can be contained in the absorber 10 in a desired state, and the absorber 10 can exhibit desired water absorbency and water retention.

[II. Other]
The embodiment described above is merely an example, and there is no intention to exclude the application of various modifications and techniques not explicitly described in this embodiment. Each structure of this embodiment can be variously modified and implemented in the range which does not deviate from those meaning. Also, they can be selected as needed, and can be combined as appropriate.

  For example, instead of being provided at the lower end of the first supply unit, the second supply unit may be provided with a second supply unit at another location. Specifically, in the internal space of the duct, second supply parts intersecting in the flow direction of the superabsorbent polymer in the first supply path are juxtaposed, and these second supply parts are coupled to the first supply part. It is also good. According to such a plurality of second supply units, the distribution adjustment accuracy of the superabsorbent polymer contained in the absorber can be improved.

Further, the supply member is not limited to the downward inclined orientation as described above, but can adopt various orientations. For example, it is possible to circulate the highly absorbent resin upward by feeding the highly absorbent resin into the duct by pressurized air, or by drawing the highly absorbent resin by negative pressure in the duct, so that the highly absorbent resin can flow upward. It is also possible to employ supply members of different orientations.
However, from the viewpoint of stably supplying the super absorbent polymer and the viewpoint of simplifying the apparatus, it is preferable to use a supply member which supplies the inside of the duct by gravity. That is, it is preferable to use a downward supply member that does not require a direction control function to feed the superabsorbent polymer.

Besides, the shapes of the first supply part and the second supply part in the supply member can be set in various forms according to the peripheral structure, the required specification and the like. For example, the downstream end of the pipe is provided with an opening facing in the first direction and the peripheral wall is provided with an opening facing in the second direction, and a member obstructing the flow to the opening of the former is inside the pipe around the latter opening. A delivery member arranged may be used. Thus, a tubular first supply unit may be used, or a block-like (bulk) or pole-like (rod-like) second supply unit may be used.
The reversing drum may be omitted, and the core may be placed directly on the drum from the drum. In this case, regarding the distribution of the highly water-absorbent resin in the core, the "non-skin surface side" described above is read as "skin surface side", and similarly, the above "skin surface side" is referred to as "non-skin surface side" You should read it again.
