Below, to Fig. 6 the structure according to the pressing mechanism 110 of one or more embodiments is described with reference to Fig. 3.Fig. 4 is the lateral plan of the pressing mechanism 100 seen of the direction of the arrow A in Fig. 3.Fig. 5 is the front view of the pressing mechanism 100 seen of the direction of the arrow B in Fig. 3.Fig. 6 is the birds-eye view of the pressing plate 111 of pressing mechanism.
As shown in Figure 3, pressing mechanism 110 is provided with the opposition side with respect to connecting gear 120 of fleece 7.Pressing mechanism 110 is arranged on the position near the belt conveyor 121 that rotates around driver element 122, and on the direction of transfer MD of fleece 7, is positioned at the upper reaches of connecting gear 120.
Pressing mechanism 110 is arranged on the position of departing from transmission plane R, and at transmission plane R, fleece 7 will be transmitted through belt conveyor 121.More particularly, pressing mechanism 110 is arranged under the transmission plane R that is limited belt conveyor 121.
Among the central area C on the Width CD of fleece 7 and/or at least one side edge region S, pressing mechanism 110 is to pressing down fleece 7, and the Width CD that said side edge region S is positioned at fleece 7 goes up from the center zone C to lateral margin out-of-position position.In other words, side edge region S sees the relative both sides that are positioned at the central area from horizontal CD.In this concrete graphic embodiment, therefore pressing mechanism 110, does not contact with any lateral margin (lateral margin 10A or lateral margin 20A) to the side edge region S except lateral margin 10A and lateral margin 20A that presses down fleece 7.
More particularly, like Fig. 4 and shown in Figure 5, pressing mechanism 110 comprises pressing plate 111.This pressing plate 111 is processed by polytetrafluoroethylene etc.When on the Width CD when the surface of fleece 7 is seen, pressing plate 111 is crooked.Pressing plate 111 is fixed to the strut bar 113 that on Width CD, extends through fixed frame 112.
Pressing plate 111 comprises and is used for the press surface 111A that contacts with fleece 7.When on the direction of transfer MD at fleece 7, seeing (that is, looking up in the side perpendicular to strut bar 113) along the surface of fleece 7, press surface 111A is rectilinear.
As shown in Figure 6, pressing plate 111 has width (w) on Width CD, and this width becomes on the direction of transfer MD of fleece 7 greatly, more particularly, is from the upstream side to the downstream, to become big gradually.Or rather, the downstream width (w1) of pressing plate 111 is greater than the upstream side width (w2) of pressing plate 111.Should be noted that the width of the downstream width (w1) of pressing plate 111, therefore greater than fleece 7; From Fig. 3, can the most clearly see; When fleece 7 when come out in pressing plate 111 belows, pressing plate 111 is positioned at the lateral margin 10A of fleece 7, the top of 20A, so that lateral margin 10A, 20A are smooth.
When on the Width CD when the surface of fleece 7 is seen, the transmission plane R of the position deviation fleece 7 that pressing mechanism 110 is provided with, and pressing mechanism 110 is pushed central area C and side edge region S.Different with the situation that fleece 7 is not pressed, such pushing makes fleece 7 depart from from transmission plane R, the fleece 7 in make transmitting from pressing mechanism 110 belows through the time on Width CD, be stretched laterally.Therefore, even produce fold in the fleece in transmission 7, also can guarantee to eliminate such fold.Should be noted that with the side edge region S of fleece 7 and compare that the central area S of fleece 7 departs from fartherly from transmission plane R.
In fact, before fleece 7 arrived connecting gears 120, the mechanism 110 that all can be pressed of any fold in the fleece 7 was eliminated, and like this, the lateral margin 10A and the 20A of the fleece 7 that does not have fold pushed in flanging unit 124.Like this, can guarantee that fleece 7 is transmitted having no under the state of fold.
The flanging unit 124 that is arranged on connecting gear 120 has first and pushes unit 124A, second and push unit 124B and manage 125.First pushes unit 124A and second pushes unit 124B the lateral margin 10A and the 20A of fleece 7 is pressed to belt conveyor 121.The lateral margin 10A and the 20A of fleece 7 are pressed to belt conveyor 121 by flanging unit 124.Guaranteed that like this, also fleece 7 can have no transmission in connecting gear 120 under the state of fold.
At this, each treatment step (S1 is to S6) of handling fleece 7 before (especially before just will handling) execution transfer step make it possible to the fleece 7 that does not have fold is applied said processing.Like this, transfer step can guarantee to reduce the defect of fabrication of absorbent commodity 1, prevents production line stop.
At this, when seeing on the direction of transfer MD at fleece 7, press surface 111A is rectilinear.Utilize press surface 111A, just will carry out each processing (for example, any one among the S1-S6) before, fleece 7 is drawn as smooth state.In other words, the fleece 7 that is adjusted into and remains on smooth state by press surface 111A is applied said processing.As a result, can guarantee to reduce the defect of fabrication of absorbent commodity 1 more.
At this, conveyer 100 also comprises connecting gear 120 except pressing mechanism 110.Connecting gear 120 can guarantee to prevent that the fleece 7 from pressing mechanism 110 belows are passed through from shrinking to the center on Width CD.Particularly, belt conveyor 121 is pressed to the lateral margin 10A and the lateral margin 20A of fleece 7 in flanging unit 124, thereby can guarantee more to prevent that stretchable fleece 7 from shrinking to the center on Width CD.As a result, can guarantee more to prevent to produce fold at fleece 7.
At this, the width (w) of pressing plate 111 on Width CD in the downstream greater than upstream side.According to such structure, the fleece 7 in transmitting from pressing mechanism 110 belows through the time, the fleece 7 that contact with the pressing plate 111 plate 111 outwards stretching on Width CD that is pressed.Like this, can guarantee to eliminate any fold that produces at fleece 7 more.
