Form to surperficial 1A side convex curvature between the adjacent perforate 2 and have top 5.The bottom surface 1B of top 5 correspondences on the surficial sheets 1 towards surperficial 1A convex curvature equally.Just, 2 adjacent of perforates form arc shape.And many tops 5 roughly linearly connect, and form rib portion.Rib portion 6,6 ... form with multiple row.Form ditch portion 7 between the adjacent rib portion 6,6, rib portion 6 and ditch portion 7 alternate configurations are not so that form planar portions.Rib portion (ridge) 6 is convex curvature to surperficial 1A side, and ditch portion 7 is convex curvature to bottom surface 1B side.Certain interval is set in the ditch portion 7, forms many perforates 2,2 ...By forming such rib portion 6 and ditch portion 7, make the direction parallel with rib portion 6 and ditch portion 7, with and right angle orientation on flexural property (for example plentiful pliability (bulk softness) etc.) have anisotropy, improve the adaptability or the quality of surficial sheets 1 and health.Rib portion 6 and ditch portion 7 alternate configurations, ditch portion 7 is become by the continuous-surface shape from rib portion 6.The distance that adjacent ribs portion is 6,6 (i.e. 5,5 distance) is preferably 1~6mm, is in particular 1.5~4mm.The distance that adjacent ditch portion is 7 is preferably 1~6mm, more preferably 1.5~4mm equally.The direction of rib portion 6 and ditch portion 7 can be when making as the raw material non-woven fabrics of surficial sheets 1 longitudinal direction (operating direction) consistent, also can be inconsistent.
Upper strata 3 is made of the heat fusing binder fibre.Core-sheath-type composite fibre that the suitable use of heat fusing binder fibre thermoplastic resin constitutes or parallel composite fiber etc.In addition, lower floor 4 constitutes by presenting curling potential crimping property fiber.The potential crimping property fiber is a kind of fiber with following character, can handle equally with the fiber that existing non-woven fabrics is used before the heating, and by heat under the fixed temperature, present that spiral helicine solid is curled and contraction.The fusing point height of the heat fusing binder fibre that the fusing point of potential crimping property fiber contains than upper strata 3.Thus, make lower floor's 4 not membranizations as described later, make the membranization easily of surface at least on upper strata 3.Just, be as what the potential crimping property fiber used, no matter presenting curl before and after, be not melt bonded under the temperature below the fusing point of the heat fusing binder fibre that contains on upper strata 3.When heat fusing binder fibre and/or potential crimping property fiber were made of the resin more than 2 kinds, the fusing point of this fiber was the corresponding fusing point of the minimum resin of fusing point.In order to improve the intensity of this lower floor, also can contain the heat fusing binder fibre in the lower floor 4.
As shown in Figure 2, in surficial sheets 1, the inner surface membranization of catheter 8.In more detail, the surface on the upper strata 3 of the inner surface of formation catheter 8 is by the melting and solidification of the heat fusing binder fibre on this upper strata of formation, and membranization continuously forms membranization zone 9.Membranization zone 9 is by the peripheral 2B of the catheter 8 whole zone to institute's take the altitude.Therefore top 5 and the not membranization in advance of its neighboring area on the surficial sheets 1 can be led to liquid.And catheter 8 is on membranization zone 9, the thickness direction not membranization of inside of catheter 8, and have liquid permeability.Specifically, with nearby zone and lower floor's 4 not membranizations of interface of lower floor 4 on the upper strata 3, and has liquid permeability.There is not heat fusing bonding between the latent crimp fiber that contains in the lower floor 4.So-called membranization promptly constitutes fibers melt, and plurality of fibers is melt bonded, and the gap between the fiber covers, and the surface of melt bonded portion becomes level and smooth state.The membranization zone can be not form on the whole zone of the inner surface of catheter 8 yet.Viewpoint with the liquid permeability, and the dimensionally stableization that makes catheter, the viewpoint of the obturation of the aperture portion that external force such as relevant pressure is brought in preventing to wear, preferably at more than 10% of thickness direction of catheter 8, particularly more than 30%, and more than 70% of the peripheral direction of catheter 8, particularly more than 80%, form the membranization zone.
By there being the part of filminess, make catheter 8 have rigidity in the catheter 8 in the surficial sheets 1 of present embodiment.The result is applied to catheter 8 even wearer's body is pressed in the wearing of the absorbing products with this surficial sheets, also can prevent its destruction, can its three-dimensional shape of stable maintenance.In addition, the thickness direction of catheter 8 is inner owing to there is not membranization, and the liquid of the inside by catheter 8 produces apace and moves, and can prevent to be detained liquid in the surficial sheets 1.Particularly in the zone that does not have membranization, owing to mainly constituting, so can form the space that many liquid see through by the curling potential crimping property fiber that presents of solid.Thus, the liquid of the inside by catheter 8 moves more apace.Therefore surficial sheets 1 often keeps dry and comfortable state, is difficult for producing the discomfort such as being clamminess property to skin.
The liquid permeation mechanism of the surficial sheets 1 of present embodiment is described in further detail, as shown in Figure 3.As shown in Figure 3,1.~3. the fluid flow path in the surficial sheets 1 has three.1. path directly sees through for the liquid by perforate 2.2. path utilizes this path for the liquid of the inside by surficial sheets 1 sees through, and is received this surficial sheets from the surperficial 1A side draught of surficial sheets 1 by excretory liquid, by the thickness direction inside of catheter 8, imports to absorber (do not have among the figure and show).As previously mentioned, the thickness direction of catheter 8 is inner mainly to be constituted by presenting the three-dimensional potential crimping property fiber that curls, so form many spaces that see through liquid, makes can successfully see through by the excretory liquid in this space.3. path sees through for the liquid along the surperficial 1A of surficial sheets 1.Utilize this path, the Surface runoff of the catheter 8 of excretory liquid runs down membranization.The partially liq of membranization is difficult to be detained, so liquid imports to absorber fast.Like this, utilize the surficial sheets 1 of present embodiment, no matter by any paths, excretory liquid is difficult to produce liquid residue in surficial sheets 1 by the absorber that leads apace.
Upper strata 3 on the surficial sheets 1 of present embodiment and each basic weight of lower floor 4 are that the state before contraction and perforate is performed as follows respectively preferably.Promptly aspects such as the disguise of the easness that forms from raising membranization zone, surficial sheets 1, quality, adsorptivity consider that the basic weight on preferred upper strata 3 is 5~40g/m 2, be in particular 10~20g/m 2, the basic weight of lower floor 4 is 5~50g/m 2, be in particular 10~35g/m 2Shrink and perforate after the basic weight of layer 3,4 of state be the income value that basic weight under the state before contraction and perforate multiply by percentage reduction of area described later.Contraction and formed surficial sheets 1 basic weight of perforate own are to consider preferred 15~180g/m from the quality of surficial sheets 1 and the processability aspect of non-woven fabrics 2, preferred especially 20~100g/m 2
Surficial sheets 1 thickness own uses カ ト-テ Star Network Co., Ltd. system, KES-FB3 compression test to measure.Has an area 2cm by what make this testing machine 2The pressurization part decline-rising of circular compression face, cloth or membranaceous sample are applied compression-answer load, obtain the hysteresis curve of compression load-compress variation in 1 cycle of its compression and Recovery Process, thus can be in the hope of the thickness of sample.Surficial sheets 1 is cut into the square of 2.5cm * 2.5cm, as sample, is installed on the compression test with it.And the pressing speed with 0.02mm/ second descends pressurization part, and sheet material is forced into 50gf/cm 2Pressure.Then the action of pressurization part being changed into rising by decline, is 0gf/cm until the pressure that is applied on the sheet material 2, pressurization part is risen.Obtain with the hysteresis curve of this compression-Recovery Process as 1 cycle.Read 0.5gf/cm in the compression process by the hysteresis curve that obtains 2Sheet thickness under the condition.The average thickness value that 5 diverse locations of sheet material are measured is set at the thickness of surficial sheets 1.
The surficial sheets 1 preferred method manufacturing of present embodiment according to the following stated.At first use carding machine to make the fleece of each tool upper strata 3 and lower floor's 4 structures respectively.The fleece that constitutes upper strata 3 is made of the heat fusing binder fibre, and the fleece that constitutes lower floor 4 is made of the potential crimping property fiber that curls before presenting.With the direct lamination of the fleece that obtains, or carry out lamination after utilizing predetermined non-woven fabrics manufacture method to make non-woven fabrics, carry out embossing again and handle, make corresponding two-layer joint.When embossing is handled, do not present curlingly in the potential crimping property fiber that contains in the lower floor 4 in order to make, it is curling to limit that two-layer laminate is installed on the restraint device such as pin chain stenter.Lower floor 4 is close to separately in its face equally shrinks, so when being installed in described laminate on the restraint device, preferably whole periphery is installed on the restraint device.Under the potential crimping property fiber that lower floor 4 is contained presents temperature more than the curling temperature, two-layer laminate is heat-treated then, make this potential crimping property fiber shape is three-dimensional in the shape of a spiral and curl, make its contraction.The contraction result is mainly to form many spaces that can see through liquid in lower floor 4.The path that this space sees through as drained liquid.Heat-treating methods can use the blowing hot-air of ventilative mode (air through) or infrared ray radiation etc.When shrinking, adjust heat treated temperature so that not produce heat fusing between the potential crimping property fiber bonding.The degree of shrinking is represented with percentage reduction of area, is preferably 30~80%, is preferably 30~60% especially.
The degree of shrinking can be adjusted, and all peripheries of described laminate are taked the previous restraint devices such as installation pin chain stenter that use, the size after making it meet contraction.Percentage reduction of area is represented in order to following formula, and perisystolic benchmark area is set at S 0, area is set at S after the contraction of benchmark area 1
Percentage reduction of area (%)=(S 0-S 1)/S 0* 100
On described laminate, form three-dimensional perforate then.Specifically, be to make described laminate between the 1st extruding module and the 2nd extruding module, push.The 1st extruding module is made of pin roll (pin roll), and this pin roll is along the carrying direction of described laminate, the side of making awl or conical many peckers (convex pin) formation row shape, and also these row are multiple row and are arranged side by side.The 2nd extruding module is made of grovved roll (fluted roll), and this grovved roll has the projecting strip part (ridge) that embeds between the prominent shape pin of multiple row on the 1st the 1st extruding module.At this moment, push described laminate, make upper strata 3 relative, and lower floor 4 is relative with the 2nd extruding module with the 1st extruding module.The result easily forms described top 5 by the projecting strip part of grovved roll, and pushes to described laminate by the convex pin on the pin roll, makes described laminate perforation, forms the perforate 2 with catheter 8.The thickness of the non-woven fabrics after the perforate is bigger before than perforate.
During perforation, with the convex pin heat in advance under the fixed temperature.Heating-up temperature is set in more than the fusing point of the heat fusing binder fibre that contains on upper strata 3, and not to the temperature of the fusing point of the potential crimping property fiber that is in rolled state.Thus, when formation has the perforate 2 of catheter 8, make the heat fusing binder fibre melting and solidification that exists on this catheter inner surface, form membranization zone 9 at this inner surface.Keep intact and not membranization in the thickness direction inside of catheter 8.At this moment, as previously mentioned, preferably described laminate is installed on the restraint device such as pin chain stenter, restriction potential crimping property fiber further curls.
The other embodiment of surficial sheets of the present invention as shown in Figure 4.The surficial sheets 1 of present embodiment has the structure of the surficial sheets of similar embodiment shown in Figure 2.Both are by difference, and the bottom surface 1B side of the surficial sheets 1 of present embodiment on sheet material 1 is littler than the surficial sheets of embodiment shown in Figure 2 towards the degree of surperficial 1A side convex curvature.Just, in the surficial sheets 1 of present embodiment, the area that bottom surface 1B side contacts with absorber is bigger than the surficial sheets of embodiment shown in Figure 2.The result is in the surficial sheets 1 of present embodiment, and liquid is good to the mobility of absorber.The manufacture method of this surficial sheets 1 is as follows.At first use carding machine to make respectively to constitute the fleece of upper strata 3 and lower floor 4, the fleece that obtains directly or utilize fixed non-woven fabrics manufacture method carry out lamination after making non-woven fabrics, carry out embossing in view of the above and handle so that two-layer joint obtains laminate.At this moment preferably this laminate is installed on the restraint devices such as pin chain stenter.Carry out described perforation procedure for this laminate, form perforate with catheter.In when perforation, the convex pin is heated in advance on the fusing point of the heat fusing binder fibre that contains on upper strata 3, and the temperature of the fusing point of this potential crimping property fiber when being lower than rolled state.Can only make the heat fusing binder fibre melting and solidification of the inner surface existence of catheter thus, form the membranization zone at this inner surface.Melt bonded between this potential crimping property fiber that can prevent to contain in the lower floor 4, can keep intact and not membranization in catheter thickness direction inside.At this moment, preferably laminate is installed on the restraint devices such as pin chain stenter, it is curling that the potential crimping property fiber is not presented.
Then, to described laminate, the potential crimping property fiber that contains in lower floor 4 presents under the temperature more than the curling temperature heat-treats, and makes this potential crimping property fiber helically carry out solid and curls, and makes its contraction.The result who shrinks is the main space that the many liquid of formation can see through in lower floor 4.The path that this space sees through as excretory liquid as previously mentioned.When shrinking, preferably as previously mentioned laminate is installed on the restraint devices such as pin chain stenter, the scope of percentage reduction of area of setting this laminate is in aforementioned range.
Be example below with the sanitary napkin, have the absorbing products of the surficial sheets 1 of described each embodiment referring to description of drawings.Fig. 5 has the absorbing products of surficial sheets 1 of described present embodiment as the oblique view of sanitary napkin.Sanitary napkin 10 shown in Fig. 5 has the surficial sheets 1 of present embodiment, the bottom surface of liquid impermeability (do not have among the figure and show) and absorber (do not have among the figure and show).Surficial sheets 1 has perforate (the whole zone at surficial sheets 1 among Fig. 5 forms perforate 2) in the zone corresponding to wearer's excretory portion at least.The length direction of the rib portion 6 in the surficial sheets 1 and the direction of ditch portion 7 and sanitary towel 10 is consistent.The surficial sheets 1 that makes sanitary towel 10 have present embodiment makes such sanitary towel 10 liquid residue on surficial sheets 1 few thus, has comfortable dry feeling, good wearing feeling.Because three-dimensional perforate is difficult for festering, in a single day liquid be absorbed bulk absorption, is difficult to present backflow, and shows good dry feeling, good wearing feeling thus.
The fiber that is three-dimensional rolled state among the present invention also can use crimped fibre, and curling by mechanicalness makes it have three-dimensional crimp, and this crimped fibre replaces the spiral helicine potential crimping property fiber that presents rolled state.At this moment sheet manufacturing method is as follows.To contain the crimped fibre that carries out machine crimp in advance and the fleece of remollescent heat fusing binder fibre under the temperature of the softening point that is lower than this crimped fibre, it is above and be lower than the pecker of the temperature of crimped fibre softening point that use is heated to the softening point of this heat fusing binder fibre, to this fleece perforation.When formation has the three-dimensional perforate of catheter, follow the formation in hole to make the described heat fusing binder fibre melting and solidification that exists on the inner surface at least of this catheter, on this inner surface, form the membranization zone.The material or the structure of the crimped fibre of machine crimp are not particularly limited, as long as the softening point higher position of the melt bonded fiber of its softening point specific heat is passable.
The invention is not restricted to aforesaid embodiment.For example in said embodiment, the membranization continuously of the inner surface of catheter 8 is handled the membranization discontinuously of the inner surface of catheter 8 but also fiber not melt bonded under the fusing point of hot-melt-bondable fiber can be sneaked in right amount upper strata etc.The inner surface of catheter 8 not only, outer surface also can membranization.When the outer surface membranization that makes catheter 8, the non-woven fabrics that constitutes surficial sheets is made three-decker, contain the heat fusing binder fibre the upper strata, contain the intermediate layer of the fiber that is three-dimensional rolled state and contain the lower floor of heat fusing binder fibre.This fiber that is three-dimensional rolled state is so long as not melt bonded getting final product below the fusing point of this heat fusing binder fibre.
In aforementioned embodiments, surficial sheets has 2 layers of structure, also it can be made single layer structure in addition.It can also be made the multiple structure more than 3 layers as the aforementioned.
The vertical section shape of surficial sheets 1 is not limited to the shape shown in Fig. 2 etc., also can be that the spy opens the shape shown in flat 4-152945 communique the 3rd or the 7th figure.
