Description

Wiping sheet and method for producing same

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a wiping sheet and a method for producing the same.

Background

Various attempts have been made to improve the function of nonwoven fabrics by forming a rough structure on the surface of the nonwoven fabric. For example, patent document 1 describes a nonwoven fabric formed by depositing polymer fibers of at least one of nanofibers and microfibers by an electrospinning method, and having a fine uneven pattern at a specific position on a plane. It is described in the literature that the nonwoven fabric can be used to improve the function by utilizing the shape specificity obtained by the uneven micropattern structure, improve the cell affinity, the material structure, and the like, and adjust the biological functionality.

Patent document 2 describes a nonwoven fabric comprising ultrafine fibers of 1dtex or less and having irregularities on the surface. The surface of the nonwoven fabric includes a fiber bundle in which a plurality of fibers are entangled with each other, and a depression in the vicinity thereof. The number of the ultrafine fibers in the fiber bundle is larger than the number of the ultrafine fibers in the depressions. The nonwoven fabric is described in the literature as being excellent in bulkiness, soft, and soft to the touch when it is in contact with a target surface.

Detailed Description

As articles for wiping hard surfaces such as floors and furniture, wiping sheets comprising nonwoven fabrics are often used. Patent document 1 describes a technique relating to a nonwoven fabric, but the nonwoven fabric described in the same document is intended to be applied to medical devices such as regenerative medicine, and does not mention the functionality of the nonwoven fabric for wiping or cleaning purposes.

When the nonwoven fabric having the uneven structure described in patent document 2 is used as a cleaning article, the friction resistance between the nonwoven fabric and a cleaning object may be increased due to the inclusion of the fine-diameter fibers in the nonwoven fabric, and the nonwoven fabric may be poor in handling during cleaning.

Therefore, the present invention relates to a wiping sheet which reduces frictional resistance against a wiping object and improves operability during wiping.

The wiping sheet of the present invention will be described below based on preferred embodiments thereof. In the present invention, wiping includes both cleaning and wiping, and includes, for example, cleaning of buildings such as floors, walls, ceilings, and pillars, cleaning of building interior materials and accessories, wiping of articles, and wiping of bodies and body implements.

The wiping sheet of the present invention contains a fiber aggregate. The fibers constituting the fiber assembly include at least the 1 st fiber and the 2 nd fiber having a smaller diameter than the 1 st fiber. Regarding the 1 st fiber and the 2 nd fiber, the 1 st fiber, the 2 nd fiber, and the 1 st fiber and the 2 nd fiber are interwoven to form the fiber aggregate. The fiber aggregate may carry a wiping solution. The wiping solution and the method of supporting the same are described in detail below. In the present specification, when the term "wiping sheet" is simply used, the term "wiping sheet" refers to a sheet carrying wiping liquid or a sheet not carrying wiping liquid, depending on the description.

The fiber aggregate used for the wiping sheet 10 is a fiber aggregate in which the 1 st and 2 nd fibers are mainly entangled and combined. Here, the wiping surface of the wiping sheet 10 is also referred to as a front surface or a 1 st surface, and the surface opposite to the wiping surface is referred to as a back surface or a 2 nd surface.

Fig. 1 shows a wiping sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention with a main portion of a longitudinal section enlarged. As shown in the figure, the wiping sheet 10 includes the 1 st fibers 20 and the 2 nd fibers 40. The wiping sheet 10 has a 1 st surface 50Y and a 2 nd surface 50X located on the opposite side of the 1 st surface 50Y. The 1 st surface 50Y of the wiping sheet 10 is provided as a wiping surface when the wiping sheet 10 is used. As shown in fig. 1, a fiber aggregate of the 2 nd fiber 40, which is a fiber having a small fiber diameter, is present on the upper side of the drawing, and is a wiping surface. Therefore, the lower side of the figure is the opposite side of the wiping surface, the back surface.

The wiping sheet 10 protrudes from the 2 nd surface 50X toward the 1 st surface 50Y, thereby forming a convex portion 50A. A plurality of projections 50A are formed in the surface direction of the wiping sheet 10. The convex portion 50A takes a shape in which the 1 st surface 50Y of the wiping sheet 10 is raised from the flat surface 50Y'. On the 2 nd surface 50X side, a region corresponding to the convex portion 50A is recessed from the flat surface 50X' of the 2 nd surface 50X toward the 1 st surface 50Y to form a concave portion 50C. The entire area of the 2 nd surface 50X can be made flat by the method of manufacturing the wiping sheet 10. In the present specification, the 1 st surface 50Y (wiping surface) is described as not including the convex portion 50A.

Each projection 50A is a solid portion whose inside is filled with the 1 st fiber 20 and/or the 2 nd fiber 40. The shape and size of each projection 50A may be the same or different. In view of the ease of manufacturing the wiping sheet 10, the projections 50A are preferably identical in shape and size.

The protrusions 50A may be regularly arranged on the 1 st surface 50Y side of the wiping sheet 10, or may be irregularly arranged. When the protrusions 50A are regularly arranged on the 1 st surface 50Y, they may be regularly arranged, for example, along the longitudinal direction and/or along the width direction of the wiping sheet 10. In any case where the convex portions 50A are arranged regularly or irregularly, the plurality of convex portions 50A are formed on the 1 st surface 50Y side as the wiping surface, so that the frictional force between the surface to be wiped and the wiping sheet 10 can be effectively reduced when the wiping operation using the wiping sheet 10 is performed, and the wiping operation can be easily performed.

As shown in fig. 1, in the wiping sheet 10, the 1 st fibers 20 and the 2 nd fibers 40 are present in a biased manner in the longitudinal sectional view. Specifically, the 2 nd fibers 40 of the wiping sheet 10 are present at a higher ratio on the 1 st surface 50Y as the wiping surface than on the 2 nd surface 50X as the surface opposite to the wiping surface. With this configuration, the wiping effect of the wiping sheet 10 can be improved by forming the plurality of projections 50A on the 1 st surface 50Y side.

As described above, the 2 nd fibers 40 of the wiping sheet 10 are present at a higher ratio on the wiping surface than on the surface opposite to the wiping surface. When focusing on the 1 st surface 50Y as the wiping surface, the 1 st fibers 20 are present in the top 50T of the projection 50A formed on the 1 st surface 50Y side at a higher ratio than the 2 nd fibers 40 with respect to the entire fibers constituting the projection 50A. On the other hand, in the bottom portion 50B of the projection 50A, the presence ratio of the 2 nd fibers 40 in the bottom portion 50B is higher than the presence ratio of the 1 st fibers 20 with respect to the entire fibers constituting the projection 50A. By setting the presence ratio of the 1 st and 2

nd fibers

20 and 40 constituting the convex portion 50A to the above-described condition, it has been unexpectedly found that the frictional force between the surface to be wiped and the wiping sheet 10 can be effectively reduced.

As for the frictional force between the surface to be wiped and the wiping sheet 10, it is preferable to apply 55N/m to the wiping sheet 10 having a size of 10cm × 25cm²The resistance to wiping of the surface to be wiped with the pressure of (3) is 10N or less, more preferably 5N or less, and still more preferably 4N or less. The lower limit of the resistance is not particularly limited, and the lower the resistance, the better, if the resistance is as low as about 0.8N, the wiping operation can be smoothly performed.

The resistance at the time of wiping was measured specifically by the following method. An alligator type jig was attached to the tip of a tension and pressure gauge (RX-20, manufactured by AikohEngineering), and the head of a quick wiper (manufactured by kao corporation) equipped with a wiping sheet having a size of 285mm × 205mm was attached to the jig. The resistance was measured as the maximum load recorded on a pull pressure gauge when the head was placed on a floor (Conbit newawvance 101, manufactured by WOODONE corporation) and scanned 1m at a speed of 1 cm/sec.

The top 50T of the projection 50A is a region from the apex of the projection 50A to (1/3) H when the height of the projection 50A is H. On the other hand, the bottom 50B of the projection 50A is a region from the flat surface 50Y' of the 1 st surface 50Y to (1/3) H.

From the viewpoint of more effectively reducing the frictional force between the surface to be wiped and the wiping sheet 10, the ratio of the 1 st fibers 20 and the 2 nd fibers 40 at the top portions 50T of the protrusions 50A is preferably 3 times or more the number of the 1 st fibers as compared with the number of the 2 nd fibers in the entire fibers constituting the protrusions 50A. From the same viewpoint, the presence ratio of the 1 st fibers 20 and the 2 nd fibers 40 in the bottom portion 50B of the projection 50A is preferably 2 or more times the number of the 2 nd fibers as compared with the number of the 1 st fibers in terms of the number of the entire fibers constituting the projection 50A.

The frictional force between the surface to be wiped and the wiping sheet 10 may depend on the shape of the convex portion 50A. From the viewpoint of more effectively reducing the frictional force, the width W of the convex portion 50A is preferably 400 μm or more, more preferably 800 μm or more, and still more preferably 900 μm or more. The width W is preferably 10mm or less, more preferably 8mm or less, and still more preferably 5mm or less. The width W is preferably 400 μm to 10mm, more preferably 800 μm to 8mm, and still more preferably 900 μm to 5 mm. As shown in fig. 1, the width W is measured with a position where the convex portion 50A starts to rise from the flat surface 50Y' of the 1 st surface 50Y of the wipe sheet 10 as a starting point. When focusing attention on 1 convex portion 50A, the width W of the convex portion 50A means the widest width to be measured when the measured width W of the convex portion 50A is different in any direction. When attention is paid to the plurality of convex portions 50A, the width W of the convex portion 50A is an arithmetic average of the widths of the convex portions 50A to be measured when the measured widths of the convex portions 50A are different from each other.

From the same viewpoint, the height H of the projection 50A is preferably 110 μm or more, more preferably 500 μm or more, and still more preferably 900 μm or more. The height H is preferably 25mm or less, more preferably 20mm or less, and still more preferably 18mm or less. The height H is preferably 110 μm or more and 25mm or less, more preferably 500 μm or more and 20mm or less, and still more preferably 900 μm or more and 18mm or less. As shown in fig. 1, the height H is a distance from the flat surface 50Y' of the 1 st surface 50Y of the wipe sheet 10 to the apex of the convex portion 50A. When focusing attention on the plurality of convex portions 50A, the height of each convex portion 50A is an arithmetic average of the heights of the convex portions 50A to be measured when the heights of the convex portions 50A are different from each other.

The formation density of the convex portions 50A on the 1 st surface 50Y side may also affect the frictional force between the surface to be wiped and the wiping sheet 10. From the viewpoint of more effectively reducing the frictional force, when a virtual circle having a diameter of 20mm is drawn at an arbitrary position on the 1 st surface 50Y, the number of the convex portions 50A present in the virtual circle is preferably 10 or more, more preferably 15 or more, and still more preferably 20 or more. The number of the projections 50A is preferably 60 or less, more preferably 50 or less, and still more preferably 40 or less. The number of the convex portions 50A is preferably 10 or more and 60 or less, more preferably 15 or more and 50 or less, and further preferably 20 or more and 40 or less.

The wiping sheet 10 of the present invention may be a dry wiping sheet in which wiping liquid is not carried (hereinafter, this embodiment is also referred to as a "dry wiping sheet"), or may be a wet wiping sheet in which wiping liquid is carried (hereinafter, this embodiment is also referred to as a "wet wiping sheet"). When the wiping sheet 10 of the present invention is a wet wiping sheet, it is preferable that the wiping liquid is carried on at least the fiber assembly located on the 2 nd surface side. The wiping surface on which the wiping solution is carried on at least the fiber aggregate positioned on the 2 nd surface side means: the embodiment in which the fiber aggregate on the opposite side of the wiping surface contains the wiping liquid also includes the embodiment in which the fiber aggregate on the wiping surface side contains the wiping liquid also in the gap. Further, the wiping solution is preferably carried in a large amount in the fiber aggregate on the opposite side of the wiping surface.

In particular, when the wiping sheet 10 of the present invention is a wet wiping sheet, it is advantageous in that the effect of reducing the frictional resistance during wiping becomes more remarkable because the ratio of the 1 st fibers 20 and the 2 nd fibers 40 at the top portions 50T and the bottom portions 50B of the protrusions 50A, the width W and the height H of the protrusions 50A on the 1 st surface 50Y side, and/or the formation density of the protrusions 50A satisfy specific ranges in addition to the formation of the plurality of protrusions 50A.

In view of further improving the wiping effect of the wiping sheet 10 by forming the plurality of protrusions 50A and in view of stably supporting a large amount of wiping liquid when the wet wiping sheet 10 is used, the area ratio of the 2 nd fibers in the wiping surface of the wiping sheet 10 including the voids is preferably 40% to 99%, more preferably 45% to 95%, and further preferably 50% to 90%. On the other hand, the area ratio of the 2 nd fibers in the surface opposite to the wiping surface is preferably 0% or more and 55% or less. The area occupied by the 2 nd fibers in the wiping surface is obtained by measuring the area occupied by the fibers having a small fiber diameter from an image or photograph obtained by taking an image of the wiping surface, for example. Hereinafter, the area occupied by the fibers can be determined in the same manner as described above. Therefore, the area ratio is a value obtained by dividing the area occupied by the fibers by the area to be measured. In the case of% expression, the value is 100 times the value obtained by division.

Here, for example, the remaining 1% of 99% of the upper limit of the area ratio of 40% or more and 99% or less is a void. This void is necessary to release the wiping solution to the wiping surface when the wet wiping sheet 10 is used. By adjusting the ratio of the voids, particularly when the wet-type wiping sheet 10 is used, the amount of wiping liquid released for wiping off stains on the surface to be wiped can be suppressed to a necessary amount even if wiping is performed with force. Further, by providing the area ratio occupied by the 2 nd fibers in the surface opposite to the wiping surface in the above manner, as a result, the number of voids increases, and the amount of wiping liquid carried in the wet wiping sheet 10 increases. If the area ratio of the 2 nd fibers in the wiping surface is too small, the wiping liquid is discharged in an amount more than necessary. Therefore, the erasable area becomes small.

In the wiping sheet 10, the area ratio of the 2 nd fibers 40 in the plane parallel to the wiping surface preferably decreases stepwise, curvilinearly, or in combination thereof in the thickness direction on the opposite side of the wiping surface. In particular, by setting the region of 50% or more and 100% or less of the thickness of the wiping sheet 10 from the surface opposite to the wiping surface to the area ratio occupied by the 2 nd fibers 40 in the range of 50% or more and 100% or less, the amount of wiping liquid to be carried can be increased when the wet wiping sheet 10 is used. Here, the ratio of the thickness where the area ratio of the 2 nd fibers 40 is 50% or more and 100% or less is preferably 1% or more and 90% or less, more preferably 5% or more and 70% or less, and further preferably 7% or more and 50% or less. By setting the thickness ratio to a preferable value as described above, the wiping liquid released for wiping the surface to be wiped with dirt can be released in a necessary amount in the case of the wet wiping sheet 10. The thickness of the wiping sheet 10 is, as shown in fig. 1, the distance T from the surface opposite to the wiping surface to the apex of the convex portion 50A.

Here, to obtain internal information of the wiping sheet 10, a confocal laser microscope may be used. By using a confocal laser microscope, a spectrum in the sample can be obtained, and by performing raman imaging on the sample in the depth direction, for example, the distribution of components in the sample can be observed without being destroyed.

The wet-type wiping sheet 10 includes at least 2 layers of a liquid retaining layer for supporting a wiping liquid and a release layer for the wiping liquid, the release layer including a wiping surface. In particular, in order to carry a large amount of wiping liquid, as described above, the region of 50% to 100% of the thickness of the wiping sheet 10 from the surface opposite to the wiping surface is set so that the area ratio occupied by the 2 nd fibers is 1% to 100%. This makes it possible to provide a liquid retaining layer for supporting a large amount of wiping liquid. On the other hand, the release layer is a portion other than the liquid retention layer including the wiping surface.

The wiping sheet 10 preferably has a higher capillary pressure on the wiping surface side than on the opposite side of the wiping surface. Accordingly, particularly when used as the wet-type wiping sheet 10, the amount of wiping liquid released for wiping the surface to be wiped can be controlled to a necessary amount even if wiping is performed with a large force during wiping. Therefore, in the case of wiping a carpet tile (rug), carpet (carpet), floor, or the like having a large wiping area, it is not necessary to replace the wiping sheet 10 with a new one during wiping, or the number of replacements can be reduced.

Here, the capillary pressure is known from the following relationship.

Pc＝2kγ_L/r×cosθ

Wherein Pc is the capillary pressure (N/m) of the fiber aggregate²)，γ_LThe surface tension (N/m) of the liquid, θ the contact angle (rad) of the fiber and the liquid, r the fiber diameter (m), and k the correction factor.

Pc derived by the above equation is a value using a summary statistic derived by measurement of the fiber aggregate. To measure Pc, it is necessary to measure the surface tension of the liquid, the fiber diameter, the contact angle of the fiber with the liquid, and the calibration coefficient. The surface tension is an average value obtained by measuring 10 times in an environment of 20 ℃ and 65% R.H. by an automatic surface tension meter based on the plate method such as DY-200 manufactured by Kyowa interface science. The fiber diameter was an average value obtained by measuring the fiber diameter of 150 fibers by measuring 30 fibers per observation at an observation magnification of 350 times, randomly observing 5 sites in total, and observing the fiber diameter by a scanning electron microscope. The contact angle of the fiber with the liquid is: constituent fibers of the fiber aggregate were identified by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the contact angle on a resin flat plate of the same composition was measured. Specifically, the contact angle was measured at 5 positions on a flat plate using a fully automatic contact angle meter such as DMo-901 manufactured by Kyowa interface science, and the contact angle was measured at 3 seconds after 1. mu.L of the mixture was dropped, and the average value was obtained. When there are a plurality of fiber materials, the contact angle is measured in the same manner for each material, and as a value at the time of Pc calculation, a value obtained by weighting the average contact angle based on the surface area ratio of each fiber component is represented by θ in the formula. The correction coefficients are: the capillary pressure Pc was derived by measuring the Klemm water absorption specified in JIS P8141, measuring the water absorption weight of the liquid from the water absorption height and dividing the water absorption weight by the total amount of the capillary cross-section constituting the nonwoven fabric, and the correction coefficient k was calculated from the Pc measured in this manner.

As is clear from the above formula, the capillary pressure increases as the fiber diameter decreases. The wiping sheet 10 is reduced in fiber diameter to increase the capillary pressure on the wiping surface side.

The fibers constituting the wiping sheet 10 are at least 2 types of fibers different in fiber diameter. The fibers are independent of each other, and are represented by polyester, polyamide, polyolefin, cellulose fibers, or fibers made of various metals, glasses, and minerals.

Further, under the same load, it is preferably 5mm or less, more preferably 4mm or less, and still more preferably 3mm or less. The thickness T of the wiping sheet 10 is preferably 0.8mm or more and 3mm or less under a load of 370Pa, more preferably 0.9mm or more and 2.8mm or less, and still more preferably 1mm or more and 2.5mm or less. By setting the thickness T of the wiping sheet 10 within this range, the wiping sheet 10 has sufficient rigidity and strength, and the operability during wiping becomes good.

In the present invention, it is particularly preferable that the fibers having different fiber diameters are interlaced without being thermally fused to each other. In this way, the voids between the fibers are increased compared to the case of thermal fusion. As a result, when the wiping solution is carried on the wiping sheet 10, the amount of the wiping solution carried increases.

The wet-type wiping sheet 10 wipes the wiping target surface 1 time by 1 wiping, and the amount of the wiping solution released from the wiping surface to the wiping target surface is preferably 0.5 g/so as to be amiza, more preferably 0.7 g/so as to be amiza, and further preferably 1.0 g/so as to be amiza. The upper limit of the amount released is actually 8 g/tatza or less, preferably 7 g/tatza or less, and more preferably 6 g/tatza or less. If the amount of the release is too small, the wiping cannot be performed sufficiently, and if the amount is too large, wiping liquid tends to remain on the wiping surface. Here, the tatamiza was 1820mm × 910mm, and the area was 1.6552m²。

The release behavior was measured under the condition that the wiping load (load W) was 0.16kN/m²And a wiping speed (speed V) of 1 m/s. When the wiping sheet of the present invention carries the wiping solution, the amount of the released tatamiza per se is within the above range when measured under such measurement conditions.

The maximum amount of liquid that can be carried by the wiping liquid on the wiping sheet 10, i.e., the initial amount of liquid carried, is preferably 1 g/sheet or more, more preferably 10 g/sheet or more, and still more preferably 12 g/sheet or more, when the size of 1 wiping sheet 10 is 285mm × 205mm, as described in the examples below. The upper limit of the initial liquid supporting amount is actually 40 g/sheet or less, preferably 30 g/sheet or less, and more preferably 20 g/sheet or less.

In this way, a liquid release of 1 g/more of the tatamiza per wipe is possible and can be continued to the 6 th more of the tatamiza.

The wiping liquid used for the wiping sheet 10 is generally the same as the user in a wet wiping sheet. That is, the wiping solution may be water alone or an aqueous solution containing a surfactant, and preferably an aqueous solution containing a surfactant.

The surfactant may be any of a nonionic surfactant, an amphoteric surfactant, a cationic surfactant, and an anionic surfactant. For example, an anionic surfactant such as alkylbenzenesulfonic acid or a nonionic surfactant such as polyoxyethylene alkyl ether can be used.

The wiping solution may also contain additives. Examples of the additive include polymers of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or maleic acid, or salts thereof, and copolymers of maleic acid and other vinyl monomers, or salts thereof, for the purpose of improving the flushing effect. Examples of the solvent include water-soluble organic solvents such as bactericides, perfumes, fragrances, deodorants, abrasive particles, pH adjusters and alcohols.

The surfactant and additives as described above are typically present in the range used in wet wipe sheets.

Next, a preferred method for producing the wiping sheet 10 shown in fig. 1 will be described with reference to fig. 2 to 8. Fig. 2 shows a manufacturing apparatus 1 suitably used for manufacturing the wiping sheet 10. The production apparatus 1 includes a web forming section 2, a weaving section 3, an electrospinning section 4, and a projection forming section 5.

The web forming section 2 is a member forming a web of the 1 st fibers 20. The web forming section 2 includes a carding machine 21 that forms a web with the 1 st fibers 20 as a raw material of the wiping sheet 10.

The interlaced part 3 is a member that interlaces the 1 st fiber 20 web with water flow. The interlaced part 3 includes a 1 st water flow nozzle 31 for blowing water flow to the 1 st fiber 20 web and a 1 st support belt 32 including an endless belt. The 1 st water jet nozzle 31 is positioned above the 1 st fiber 20 web and the 1 st support belt 32, and can blow a high-pressure water jet over the entire width of the 1 st fiber 20 web. The 1 st support belt 32 is disposed to face the 1 st water jet nozzle 31, and has a structure (not shown) in which water to be blown passes through the belt, and the belt has a lattice-like pattern or a perforated structure. The interlaced body of the 1 st fibers 20 interlaced by the water jet from the 1 st water jet nozzle 31 is conveyed to the electrospinning part 4 by the 1 st support belt 32.

The electrospinning unit 4 generates the 2 nd fiber 40 including the nanofibers by the electrospinning method, and deposits the 2 nd fiber on one surface of the interlaced body of the 1 st fiber 20 interlaced by the water flow nozzle 31 of the interlacing unit 3. The electrospinning unit 4 includes a spraying unit 41 for spraying the starting material liquid for the 2 nd fiber 40 and electrospinning the starting material liquid, and a capturing electrode 42 for capturing the sprayed starting material liquid as the 2 nd fiber 40. The spraying section 41 is constituted by a supply section for the raw material liquid of the 2 nd fiber 40, an electrode, a voltage applying section, and the like (not shown). A positive voltage or a negative voltage is applied to the ejection section 41. The trap electrode 42 is disposed to face the ejection portion 41. The capture electrode 42 includes a conductive member and is grounded.

When a voltage is applied to the ejection part 41, the raw material liquid of the 2 nd fibers 40 is charged by electrostatic induction until being ejected from the ejection part 41, and is ejected in a charged state. The raw material liquid ejected in the charged state causes self-repulsion of the raw material liquid by the action of an electric field, and the 2 nd fibers 40 are produced as nano-sized fine fibers (nanofibers). The generated 2 nd fibers 40 are randomly stacked on one surface of the interlaced body of the 1 st fibers 20 traveling in the vicinity of the capturing electrode 42, and become a fiber aggregate. By this electrospinning step, a laminate 50 including a fiber assembly of the 1 st fibers 20 and the 2 nd fibers 40 is formed. The obtained laminate 50 is conveyed to the convex portion forming section 5.

As the raw material liquid of the 2 nd fiber 40 in the electrospinning method, a liquid in which a polymer compound constituting the 2 nd fiber 40 is dissolved or dispersed in a solvent, or a melt in which a polymer compound is melted can be used. A method using a liquid obtained by dissolving or dispersing a polymer compound in a solvent may be referred to as a solution electrospinning method, and a method using a melt obtained by melting a polymer compound may be referred to as a melt electrospinning method. In the present invention, any electrospinning method can be used.

In the convex portion forming portion 5, a water flow is blown to the stacked body 50 of the fiber aggregate of the 1 st fibers 20 and the fiber aggregate of the 2 nd fibers 40, and the 1 st fibers and the 2 nd fibers are interlaced to form convex portions. The projection forming section 5 includes a 2 nd water flow nozzle 51 for blowing a water flow to the 1 st fiber 20 side of the laminate 50, a projection forming member 52 for forming projections on the 2 nd fiber 40 side by the water flow, a 2 nd support belt 53 provided below the projection forming member 52, and a conveying belt 54 for conveying the laminate 50 having the projections formed thereon to a downstream manufacturing process.

As shown in fig. 2, the 2 nd water flow nozzle 51 is positioned on the 1 st fiber 20 side of the laminate 50, and can blow water flow over the entire width direction area of the laminate 50. The projection forming member 52 is located below the laminate 50 and is disposed so as to face the fiber aggregate of the 2 nd fiber. As shown in fig. 3, the projection forming member 52 has a plurality of circular opening portions 52a regularly formed over the entire area thereof. The projection forming member 52 is not particularly limited as long as it has an opening portion, and a perforated metal, a plastic net, or the like can be used. The shape of the opening portion 52a is also not particularly limited, and may be an ellipse, or a polygon such as a triangle, a quadrangle, or a pentagon, in addition to the circle shown in fig. 3. The convex portion forming member 52 may be integrated with the 2 nd support tape 53 by sewing, bonding, or the like.

As shown in fig. 2 and 4, the water stream blown from the 2 nd water stream nozzle 51 toward the 1 st fiber 20 side surface 50X presses the 2 nd fiber 40 side surface 50Y of the laminate 50 in close contact with the upper surface of the convex portion forming member 52. At the same time, the fiber aggregate of the 1 st fiber 20 and the 2 nd fiber 40 positioned in the opening part 52a is protruded into the opening part 52a to form a plurality of convex parts 50A. At this time, classification of the 1 st fibers 20 and the 2 nd fibers 40 occurs, and in the top portion 50T of the projection 50A, the presence ratio of the 1 st fibers 20 in the top portion 50T is higher than the presence ratio of the 2 nd fibers 40 with respect to the entire fibers constituting the projection 50A. At the same time, in the bottom portion 50B of the projection 50A, the presence ratio of the 2 nd fibers 40 in the bottom portion 50B is higher than the presence ratio of the 1 st fibers 20 with respect to the entire fibers constituting the projection 50A. Through these steps, the laminate 50 having the plurality of projections 50A formed thereon can be obtained.

As shown in FIG. 5, the width L of the opening portion 52a of the projection-forming member 52 is preferably 400 μm or more and 10 mm. By providing the width L, the stacked body 50 can be formed into the convex portion 50A having a good appearance and capable of reducing the resistance at the time of wiping.

As shown in fig. 5, the thickness T of the projection-forming member 52 is preferably 800 μm or more and 3mm or less, and more preferably 900 μm or more and 2mm or less. By having a thickness in this range, a favorable projection 50A can be formed in the laminate 50.

As another embodiment of the projection forming part 5 (hereinafter, referred to as embodiment 2), as shown in fig. 6 and 7, two kinds of

projections

50A and 2 nd projection 520A (hereinafter, projection 50A is also referred to as projection 1 in embodiment 2) may be formed on the laminate 50 by using the 2 nd projection forming member 520 in addition to the projection forming member 52. In embodiment 2, as shown in fig. 6, the 2 nd projection forming member 520 is disposed so as to overlap with the upper portion of the projection forming member 52. The 2 nd projection forming member 520 has a plurality of square opening portions 520a regularly formed over the entire surface thereof. As shown in fig. 8, the width La of the square opening portion 520a becomes larger than the width L of the opening portion 52a of the convex portion forming member 52. By using the two kinds of

projection forming members

52 and 520 in a superposed manner, the 1 st projection 50A can be formed in a shape that is raised from the top of the 2 nd projection 520A, for example, on the 1 st surface 50Y side of the wiping sheet 10 (hereinafter, also referred to as wiping sheet 10' in embodiment 2) in a plurality of and regularly arranged.

According to the 2 nd embodiment in which the two kinds of

projection forming members

52 and 520 are used in a superposed manner, the 1 st projection 50A and the 2 nd projection 520A including a macroscopic pattern (a rhombic lattice pattern in the 2 nd embodiment) larger than the 1 st projection 50A are provided on the 1 st surface 50Y side of the wiping sheet 10', and the 1 st projection 50A is located in the 2 nd projection 520A to form a two-step level difference. In this case, at the top of the 1 st projection 50A, the presence ratio of the 1 st fibers 20 in the top is higher than the presence ratio of the 2 nd fibers 40 with respect to the entire fibers constituting the 1 st projection 50A, and at the bottom of the 1 st projection 50A, the presence ratio of the 2 nd fibers 40 in the bottom is higher than the presence ratio of the 1 st fibers 20 with respect to the entire fibers constituting the 1 st projection 50A.

In embodiment 2 in which two types of projection-forming

members

52 and 520 are used in a superimposed manner, as shown in fig. 7, the laminated body 50 is pressed so that the surface 50Y on the 2 nd fiber 40 side comes into close contact with the 2 nd projection-forming member 520 by the water flow blown from the 2 nd water flow nozzle 51 toward the surface 50X on the 1 st fiber 20 side. At this time, the 1 st fibers 20 and the 2 nd fibers 40 enter the opening part 520A, and a plurality of 2 nd convex parts 520A having a shape corresponding to the shape of the opening part of the 2 nd convex part forming member 520 are regularly formed. Further, by the water flow blown from the 2 nd water flow nozzle 51, the 2 nd convex portions 520A are pressed so that the 2 nd fiber 40 side surface 50Y comes into close contact with the convex portion forming member 52, and the 1 st convex portions 50A are formed on the top portions of the 2 nd convex portions 520A in a plurality of regularly arranged states. In this way, the 1 st projection 50A is formed in a plurality of projections rising from the top of one 2 nd projection 520A, and thus the 1 st projection 50A and the 2 nd projection 520A have a shape having two levels of height difference. Through this step, a laminate 50 having a plurality of projections 50A formed thereon can be obtained, as in the case of the embodiment in which the projection-forming member 52 is used alone.

The wiping sheet 10' of embodiment 2 obtained by the above-described steps protrudes from the 1 st fiber 20 side surface (2 nd surface) 50X toward the 2 nd fiber side surface (1 st surface) 50Y to form the 1 st convex portion 50A and the 2 nd convex portion 520A. The 1 st projection 50A and the 2 nd projection 520A are raised from the flat surface of the 1 st surface 50Y. As described above, the 1 st projection 50A is located inside the 2 nd projection 520A, and has a shape rising from the top of the 2 nd projection 520A. By having these shapes, a convex portion having a two-step difference in height is formed when viewed from the flat surface of the 1 st surface 50Y. The 2 nd surface 50X may be a flat surface over the entire area thereof by the method of manufacturing the wiping sheet 10' according to embodiment 2, and the areas corresponding to the 1 st convex portions 50A and the 2 nd convex portions 520A may be recessed.

As shown in fig. 8, the width La of the opening 520a of the 2 nd projection forming member 520 is preferably 400 μm or more and 10mm or less, and more preferably 420 μm or more and 8mm or less. By providing the width La, the 2 nd convex portion 520A having a good appearance and a reduced resistance at the time of wiping can be formed in the laminated body 50.

As shown in FIG. 8, the thickness T of the 2 nd projection-forming member 520 is preferably 600 μm or more and 4mm or less, and more preferably 700 μm or more and 3mm or less. By having a thickness in this range, the 2 nd convex part 520A having a good appearance and capable of reducing the resistance at the time of wiping can be formed in the laminated body 50.

Returning again to fig. 2, finally, the laminate 50 having the convex portions 50A formed by the convex portion forming portion 5 is conveyed downstream from the convex portion forming portion 5 by the conveyor belt 54, and the target dry wiping sheet 10 (or wiping sheet 10') is obtained. Further, after the laminate 50 having the convex portions 50A formed by the convex portion forming portion 5 is conveyed downstream from the convex portion forming portion 5 by the conveyor belt 54, the wiping liquid may be further supplied from the surface side corresponding to the 2 nd surface of the wiping sheet 10 and carried. Through this process, the target wet-type wiping sheet 10 (or wiping sheet 10') can be obtained.

The amount of wiping liquid to be carried when producing the wet-type wiping sheet 10 (or wiping sheet 10') is preferably 6 g/sheet or more, more preferably 8 g/sheet or more, and still more preferably 10 g/sheet or more, when it is 285mm × 205mm, as described in the example of the size of 1 wiping sheet explained below. The upper limit of the content of the wiping solution is preferably 40 g/sheet or less, more preferably 30 g/sheet or less, and further preferably 20 g/sheet or less. The wiping solution can be carried by spraying, coating, dipping, or the like.

55N/m was applied to the wiping sheets of the examples and comparative examples²The floor (Conbit newawovance 101, manufactured by WOODONE corporation) was set to a surface to be wiped at 1.8m²Area of (2)The wiping was performed, and the resistance at this time was measured by the above-described method. The results are shown in fig. 9 and 10.

As a result of comparing the resistances in example 1 and comparative example 1 as wet-type wiping sheets, the resistance in example 1 was 2.7N as shown in fig. 9. On the other hand, the resistance of comparative example 1 was 15.7N. From these results, it is clear that the wet-type wiping sheet 10 of example 1 has a low frictional resistance during wiping and a high workability.

As a result of comparing the resistances in example 2 and comparative examples 2 and 3 as dry wiping sheets, the resistance of example 2 was 1.8N as shown in fig. 10. On the other hand, the resistance of comparative example 2 was 2.2N, and the resistance of comparative example 3 was 4.1N. From these results, it is understood that the dry wiping sheet 10 of example 2 has less frictional resistance during wiping and higher workability, as the wet wiping sheet 10 of example 1.

As is clear from comparison between example 1 and comparative example 1, and example 2 and comparative example 2, in particular, it is clear that the friction resistance is remarkably reduced when the wiping sheet of the present invention is used in a wet state.
