T(μm)=π(D
2-d
2)/4L (1)
(in the above-mentioned formula (1), D refers to comprise the external diameter (mm) that is wound on the coiling thing on the core of porous-film, and d refers to roll up the external diameter (mm) of core, L refer to reel the coiling length (m) of thing).
At poor (T-t) of film thickness during greater than 1.5 μ m, because the coiling of coiling thing is loose excessively, therefore use this coiling thing as electrode-membrane coil under the situation of thing, can't carry out electrode-membrane coil around the management of the external diameter of thing, increase unfavorable conditions such as can not inserting of when should the coiling thing being inserted in the jar, taking place.On the other hand, under poor (T-t) of film thickness situation less than-1.5 μ m, because the coiling tension of coiling thing, the perviousness of the thing that therefore causes reeling is bad.The absolute value of the difference of film thickness is preferably below the 1.2 μ m, more preferably below the 1.0 μ m, most preferably is below the 0.5 μ m.
The absolute value of poor (T-t) of film thickness is more little, approach 0 more, the polyolefin microporous film of can not loosely not reeling tightly more, but in the present invention, preferably rolling-in is a little a little with the roll of polyolefin microporous film thing.Particularly, the value (μ m) of preferred T-t is-0.5≤T-t<0.
In addition, employed core when " the volume core " among the present invention is meant polyolefin microporous film made the coiling thing, this volume core is a cylindrical shape.As preferred object lesson, can enumerate pipes such as paper tube, plastics tubing.
From reduce bad this viewpoint of insertion that electrode-membrane coil is taken place when thing inserts the jar, the present invention preferably adopts the form of roll of polyolefin microporous film thing group, this roll of polyolefin microporous film thing group be by more than 2 to being wound on that polyolefin microporous film on the parent roll cuts and the coiling thing group that the said polyolefins microporous film coiling thing that obtains constitutes, the coiling deviation is in 5mm, and the standard variance of poor (the μ m) of above-mentioned film thickness is below the 0.7 μ m, more preferably below the 0.5 μ m.At this, parent roll is meant the film volume before the width that is cut into user expectation, and width is more than the 350mm usually, also has more than the 600mm.The coiling deviation is meant in volume has been reeled the coiling thing of polyolefin microporous film on the core, in the whole length range of the polyolefin microporous film of being reeled, and the position deviation of the end of the polyolefin microporous film of being reeled.That is, refer to the polyolefin microporous film of being reeled an end, in outermost part of the width of coiling thing and the distance on the width between the most inboard part.And just under the situation with each coiling thing, even under the situation with a plurality of coiling things (coiling thing group) of constituting the whole width of parent roll, also the difference of preferred film thicknesses is less, and this is self-explantory.
In the present invention, the D that " is wound on the external diameter that comprises porous-film of the coiling thing on the core " is meant that hypothesis is the diameter under the situation of cylinder at the roll of polyolefin microporous film thing of the polyolefin microporous film of having reeled on the axle, but under its cross section was not just round situation, D was meant and the minor face of the bounding rectangle of the external area minimum in cross section and the mean value on long limit.Particularly, for being inboard part, use method as follows more than the 3mm of the two ends of coiling thing, the diameter of the equally spaced a plurality of point measurement coiling things on the width of micro-porous film is obtained D by calculating its mean value.
The outer diameter D of roll of polyolefin microporous film thing of the present invention can be utilized the outside diameter measuring device high precision described in the TOHKEMY 2006-88255 communique for example shown in Figure 1 and record effectively.Fig. 1 is the sketch chart of basic comprising part of the part of the expression external diameter that is used to measure the coiling thing.That is,, measure the external diameter of coiling thing by the image of measuring coiling thing 2 with being subjected to ray machine 1B to receive laser or the visible light that sends by luminous machine 1A.Above-mentioned luminous machine, be subjected to ray machine can adopt the product of usually on market, selling as laser size measuring engine or digital dimensional measurement machine etc.
For example, make by 2 groups of luminous machine 1A and move abreast with the turning axle direction of the dimension measuring device that constituted by ray machine 1B along coiling thing 2, thus the external diameter of all positions on a line of turning axle (volume core) direction of measurement coiling thing.As long as dimension measuring device relatively moves with respect to coiling thing 2, dimension measuring device being moved or coiling thing 2 is moved can.In addition, according to the coiling thing that will measure, consider operability, also can make can be with the measuring apparatus of coiling thing traverse etc.Make the speed that moves by luminous machine, the dimension measuring device that constituted by ray machine according to suitably decisions such as the measuring accuracy of the coiling thing of necessity, Measuring Time.In addition, the measurement of external diameter is carried out with growing on corresponding 2 directions in limit at the minor face with bounding rectangle, use their mean value, but utilize the useful range of the coiling thing 2 that the dimensional measurement machine measures usually so long as to measure the external diameter at 1 position of coiling thing continuously just enough.Why like this, to be because the external diameter difference of coiling thing is that measuring the resulting result of external diameter on any position all is identical basically because the thickness difference accumulation of many films produces, and it is just round that its cross section is actually.
Preferred example when in addition, Fig. 2 represents to measure the external diameter of coiling thing group of the present invention.Work accurately in order to make the dimensional measurement machine, preferably coiling thing group is arranged on 2 groups of substantial middle portions that are subjected to ray machine 1A and are subjected to ray machine 1B, for example, can by 2 groups be subjected to ray machine 1A and be subjected to the central authorities of ray machine 1B be provided for fixedly cutting apart volume spool etc. method etc. fix coiling thing group.If change 2 groups of width that are subjected to ray machine 1A and are subjected to ray machine 1B, the coiling thing group that then can one-shot measurement constitutes by the coiling thing of different diameter.Fig. 3 represents to measure simultaneously the result's of the coiling thing group that a plurality of coiling things by different diameter constitute a example.The part of A is the take off data in the gap between the coiling thing among the figure, preferably has continuously to delete the interruption arithmetic processing section partly of respectively reeling between thing the continuously measured data between a plurality of coiling things.Therefore, can adopt the take off data that rises, descends by deletion to obtain the calculation method in a plurality of coiling beyond the region of objective existences footpath, or take off data be carried out differential handle, deletion outside diameter measuring part jumpy is obtained the calculation method in a plurality of coiling beyond the region of objective existences footpath.In addition, under the situation of cutting time-division slivering, because each bar is wound in respectively on 1 wireline reel, therefore, preferably have the film thickness information of the metrical information that can make each bar and winding film thing and position relationship consistency and handling part that the metrical information of each bar is handled as the film thickness information of bar continuously.The display part that also can have take off data in the said apparatus.
In the present invention, " the film thickness t that obtains with a micro-porous film evaluation " is meant the film thickness t of the polyolefin microporous film that constitutes the coiling thing, for example, micro-porous film for the most peripheral of roll of polyolefin microporous film thing, by measuring film thickness on equally spaced a plurality of points on the width, and the mean value of calculating them is obtained film thickness t.
In the present invention, the measuring method of the film thickness of polyolefin microporous film does not limit, for example, except the method shown in the following embodiment, for example also can be on micro-porous film the mounting measurement terminal, read the action of measurement terminal and be converted into film thickness, thereby measure accurately.For example can adopt optical detector to read the action of measurement terminal.In addition, preferably will be applied to the pressure-controlling of the per unit area on the micro-porous film in the constant scope by measurement terminal.And, preferably in thermostatic chamber, measure.

The manufacture method of roll of polyolefin microporous film thing
Only pine among the present invention but the roll of polyolefin microporous film thing of reeling tightly, the external diameter precision is higher, can in whole width range, cut into each roll of polyolefin microporous film after cut after the Rack on the volume core time by being wound on polyolefin microporous film on the parent roll, each coiling thing is controlled the coiling tension of polyolefin microporous film and made.
Method to each coiling thing control coiling tension is unqualified.For example, can have respectively on the individual volume core of rotary driving part, and utilize separately rotary driving part to make and independently roll up the core rotation, to each coiling thing control coiling tension by each roll of polyolefin microporous film after will cutting.In addition, each roll of polyolefin microporous film that will obtain after will cutting has on the volume core of shared rotary driving part or is being wound under the situation on a plurality of volume cores that are fixed on the turning axle with shared rotary driving part, can tenslator comes each coiling thing control coiling tension by being provided with independently in addition each polyolefin microporous film.
Particularly, can preferably obtain coiling thing of the present invention by utilizing independent drive formula cutting machine cutting polyolefin microporous film and this film being wound on the pipe (volume core).Owing to when independent drive formula cutting machine cuts on the whole width of parent roll, can cut apart each and involve in capable tension control, therefore be applicable to and make roll of polyolefin microporous film thing of the present invention expeditiously.
As the example of independent drive formula cutting machine, the cutting machine with a plurality of driving transfer part 6 is as shown in Figure 4 arranged.Drive transfer part 6 and for example use powder clutch etc., the roller 9 that turns round with utilizing general AC electric motor is connected, and can utilize synchronously and come the driving of self-driven transfer part to be placed in the coiling of the pipe (not shown) in the chuck portion 8 with 7 transmission such as grade.Under the situation of having used powder clutch, can utilize electrical signal to control its output torque.Thereby, carry out the tension force detection by each independently being managed coiling portion, and impose the electricity feedback, can carry out independently managing the corresponding coiling of tension force of coiling portion with each.Fig. 5 represents the sketch chart of such device.Utilize cutter 14 will cut into the width of expectation, and the roll of polyolefin microporous film after will cutting have on the pipe independent arm 13 (each is coiling portion independently), that supported by shared axle (not shown) from the polyolefin microporous film before the cutting that parent roll 11 is emitted.Relative therewith, coaxial drive type cutting machine in the past cuts parent roll in whole width range, when on pipe, reeling with shared coiling portion, cooperate the specific coiling thing ground in adjacent a plurality of coiling things to carry out tension control, therefore the coiling thing that is obtained is not to reel tightly, reel loosely exactly, therefore be difficult to manage external diameter, thereby be difficult to preferably obtain coiling thing of the present invention.In addition, also be easy to produce the coiling deviation.
In addition, in the present invention, independent drive formula cutting machine is the device of reeling after the flap cutting, and each flap after the cutting is wound on the independently volume core that has rotary driving part respectively.
Coiling tension during about the coiling polyolefin microporous film, preferably make parent roll emit tension force be 125 (N/m) following about, what make the coiling tension of the thing of respectively reeling and parent roll emits tension force (preferably in ± 20%) about equally.For example, coiling tension is repeatedly reeled in above-mentioned scope with changing, and measure the coiling elasticity of the coiling thing that is obtained, decide the occurrence of coiling tension according to its result.
In the present invention, the elasticity of preferred polyolefm microporous film coiling thing is being below the 34N apart from volume core 5mm distance.When reeling more tightly, can cause that the roll-shape of coiling thing is bad above this elasticity.
In addition, the elasticity (F (10)) of the distance volume core 10mm distance of preferred polyolefm microporous film coiling thing is 0.05N~2N with poor (F (10)-F (20)) of the elasticity (F (20)) of distance volume core 20mm distance.When the value of F (10)-F (20) was in this scope, it was bad to reduce coiling deviation, layer deviation, depoling etc.
At this, the elasticity of coiling thing is one of the index that is used to estimate the reeling condition of coiling thing, is to be that 0.04~0.07mm, needle point angle are that 25~27 °, needle point R are the needed power of side 1cm (N) that is needled into the coiling thing of 0.04~0.07mm with point diameter.In addition, apart from the volume core distance be meant the side of coiling thing see from the volume wicking surface to the volume core cross section (circle) the vertical direction of tangent line on distance.
For example can utilize the following method of " Smith reel the test of thing elasticity " that in " simple basic technology lecture the 7th backrush of cutting machine/rewinder is around the quality of thing " in December, 1996 number, introduced based on コ Application バ one テ Star Network (convertech) to measure the elasticity of coiling thing.
Fig. 9 represents to be used to measure the sketch chart of device of the elasticity of coiling thing.The elasticity measuring apparatus 101 of coiling thing is the device that pin has been installed on ergometer.The pin front end of measuring apparatus 101 is thrust the measuring position, and vertical depression measuring apparatus 101 is up to inserting the needle into 1cm, the load of measurement peak value at this moment, thereby the elasticity of measurement coiling thing.This device for example can adopt the pin of " model-13 " total length 38mm of the safety pin of intercepting Kokuyo company (kokuyo) system partly to be installed on the device that obtains on the digital force gauge of HF-10 of Japanese measurement system (strain).
In addition, utilizing independent drive formula cutting machine and when making the roll of polyolefin microporous film thing to being wound on polyolefin microporous film on the parent roll and cutting, coiling deviation after the whole width range of parent roll cuts 5mm with interior coiling thing group in, can further reduce bad this viewpoint of coiling thing of insertion that takes place when being inserted into the one-piece type coiling thing of electrode-barrier film the jar from providing, preferably making the standard variance of the film thickness T (μ m) that utilizes following formula (1) to calculate and the film thickness t (μ m) that obtains with a micro-porous film evaluation poor (film thickness poor) is below the 0.7 μ m, more preferably below the 0.5 μ m.

The manufacture method of polyolefin microporous film of the present invention is not particularly limited, and can adopt so-called drying process, damp process etc.As the manufacture method that adopts so-called damp process, for example, said polyolefins is dissolved in the solvent that is known as softening agent with its temperature more than fusing point, the solution that is obtained is cooled to generate below the Tc high-molecular gel body, use this high-molecular gel body to carry out film forming (film formation process), stretching the film (stretching process) obtained afterwards, remove softening agent (softening agent is removed operation), thereby can make polyolefin microporous film.
Be meant the organic compound that can form uniform solution at its temperature below boiling point and polyolefine at this said softening agent, as its concrete example, can enumerate naphthalane, dimethylbenzene,, the paraffin wet goods.In addition, also can use from softening agent and remove regenerated softening agent the operation.
The ratio of the softening agent in the high-molecular gel body is not particularly limited, and is preferably 20 weight %~90 weight %, more preferably 50 weight %~80 weight %.If the ratio of softening agent below 20 weight %, has the tendency that is difficult to obtain have the micro-porous film of suitable porosity,, the ratio of softening agent is difficult to the tendency of continuous molding film if more than 90 weight %, having the viscosity of hot solution to reduce.
Below, an example of the manufacture method of polyolefin microporous film is divided into above-mentioned film making process, stretching process and softening agent removes operation and be illustrated.
Film formation process
Film is not particularly limited, for example in extrusion machine, supply with and mix polyolefin powder and softening agent, temperature fusion mixing about with 200 ℃ is after both, from common suspension type nozzle to the cooling roller top casting, thereby the sheet of the tens of μ m~number mm thickness that can be shaped continuously.
Stretching process
Then, the film that is obtained is stretched along the single shaft direction at least, thereby form stretched film.Drawing process is not particularly limited, and can use tentering method, roll method, rolling process etc.Wherein, it is biaxial stretch-formed preferably to utilize horizontal sheet process to carry out the while.Draft temperature is the temperature of the fusing point from normal temperature to the high-molecular gel body, is preferably 80~140 ℃, more preferably 100~130 ℃.Stretching ratio is preferably 4~400 times with the dynameter of area, and more preferably 8~200 times, more preferably 16~100 times.If stretching ratio is below 4 times, then as membranous insufficient strength,, then just is not difficult to stretch, and has the tendency of drawbacks such as the porosity that makes the micro-porous film that is obtained easily is lower if stretching ratio is more than 400 times.
Softening agent is removed operation
Next, by being removed, softening agent obtains micro-porous film from stretched film.The method of removing of softening agent is not particularly limited.For example using under paraffin oil, the situation of dioctyl phthalate (DOP) as softening agent, organic solvents such as available methylene dichloride, methylethylketone extract paraffin oil, dioctyl phthalate (DOP), also the micro-porous film that is obtained can be carried out heat drying and removes softening agent more fully with its temperature below melting temperature.In addition, for example using under the situation of low-boiling compound as softening agent such as naphthalane, only the temperature below the melting temperature of micro-porous film is carried out heat drying and just can be removed.In order to realize low cost, also can reclaim used organic solvent and be used to remove softening agent once more.In order to improve perviousness or to improve dimensional stability, the polyolefin microporous film enforcement thermal treatment that also preferred temperature below melting temperature as required obtains utilizing above-mentioned method for making.
