First, in terms of the first direction and the second direction used in the present application, with reference to the central axis d shown in fig. 1, the arrow direction indicated by d1 is the first direction, and the second direction is the arrow direction indicated by d2, which is the opposite direction of the first direction.
In particular, the arrow direction indicated by d1 may be a direction toward a die side described later, and the arrow direction indicated by d2 may be a direction toward the exhaust portion side.
Referring to fig. 1, a cooling device 10 of the present invention includes a discharge part 100, a flow guide part 200, and a body 300.
More specifically, the discharge portion 100 may inject the cooling air in the first direction d 1.
The flow guide 200 is provided at a predetermined interval from the discharge unit 100 along the first direction d1, and is configured to block the flow of the cooling air discharged from the discharge unit 100 along the first direction d1 and guide the cooling air toward the second direction d 2.
The main body 300 is provided at a predetermined interval along a second direction d2 opposite to the first direction d1, and includes an inflow hole 410 through which air discharged from the flow guide 200 flows.
The exhaust unit 310 may be provided to exhaust the air flowing in through the inlet hole 410 in the second direction d 2.
Here, the flow guide 200 may further be provided with a fixing member 210 for being disposed at a predetermined interval from the discharge part 100.
As shown in fig. 2, instead of the fixing member 210, the flow guide 200 may be provided with a channel member 220 connected to the discharge unit 100 so as to be movable, for fixing the flow channel of the fluid and the flow guide 200.
On the other hand, referring to fig. 3 (a) and 4, the flow guide 200 of the present invention can discharge the cooling air toward the second direction d2 with reference to the virtual reference line R orthogonal to the central axis d of the main body 300.

For example, as shown in fig. 3 (a), in the passage 203, the angle θ 1 in the acute angle range in which the reference line R is directed toward the second direction d2 side may be substantially 20 degrees.
Here, as shown in fig. 3 (B), if the above-mentioned passage 203 is located in a direction of 90 degrees which is not an acute angle, the cooling air is easily moved in the first direction d1, i.e., toward the die side, and thus the die can be easily cooled to be disposed in a manner having an angle within the acute angle range as described above.
On the other hand, the cooling device 10 of the present invention may further include a neck portion 400 for connecting between the above-described discharge portion 100 and the body discharge portion 310, and having a diameter smaller than that of the body 300.

Referring to arrows of fig. 5, the cooling air discharged from the flow guide 200 may flow into the inflow holes 410 and be discharged to the exhaust unit.
Wherein, the inflow hole 410 may be provided in plurality.
Further, the surface of the body 300 of the present invention may be cooled by cooling water.
More specifically, the cooling water circulates along the inner circumferential surface of the body 300, and an inflow nozzle (not shown) into which the cooling water flows in such a manner that the surface is cooled may be further provided.
The present invention also provides a foamed sheet manufacturing apparatus 11.
For example, the foamed sheet manufacturing apparatus 11 includes the cooling apparatus 10 as described above, and the cooling apparatus used in the foamed sheet manufacturing apparatus 11 described below can be similarly applied to the specific matters described in the cooling apparatus 10 as described above.
As shown in fig. 6, in the apparatus 11 for producing a foamed sheet according to the present invention, a raw material for a foamed sheet, that is, a mixed polyethylene terephthalate sheet, an additive, a Foaming agent, and the like are charged from a hopper 120, and the mixture is subjected to a melt extruder and a die to foam (Foaming), and then subjected to a cooling step and a cutting step, thereby producing a polyethylene terephthalate foamed sheet.
Referring to fig. 7, foamed sheet manufacturing apparatus 11 of the present invention includes an extruder 20, and extruder 20 has a die 21 for feeding foamed sheet material into and discharging foamed sheet 1.
Further, the foamed sheet manufacturing apparatus 11 of the present invention includes: a cooling device 10 for cooling the foamed sheet 1 discharged from the extruder 20; and a cutter 60 for cutting the foamed sheet 1 passing through the cooling device 10.
In particular, the cooling device 10 comprises: a discharge unit 100 for ejecting cooling air in a first direction d1 toward the stamper 21; and a flow guide 200 provided at a predetermined interval from the discharge portion along the first direction d1, blocking the flow of the cooling air discharged from the discharge portion along the first direction d1, and guiding the cooling air toward the second direction d 2.
Further, the cooling device 10 includes a main body 300, the main body 300 being provided with an inlet hole 410 through which air discharged from the flow guide 200 flows, and an exhaust portion 310 through which the air flowing in through the inlet hole is exhausted to the second direction side, the main body 300 being provided with a predetermined interval in a second direction d2 opposite to the first direction.
The cutter 60 may be located at the upper end 60 or the lower end 60' of the foam sheet 1 discharged in the cylindrical shape so as to cut the foam sheet 1 passing through the cooling device 10, but is not limited thereto.
The number of the cutters 60 may be plural as necessary, and the positions thereof may be appropriately selected and set.
On the other hand, the press 20 includes a hopper 22 for charging the raw material for the foamed sheet.
In order to produce the above-mentioned foamed sheet 1, a polyethylene terephthalate sheet (polyethylene terephthalate Chip), an additive and a foaming agent may be mixed and charged into the hopper 22.
For example, 100 parts by weight of a polyethylene terephthalate Chip (Chip), 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of a foaming gas, 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of a thickener, and 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of a nucleating agent may be mixed and charged, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
The raw material charged as described above passes through the extruder 20 and the die 21 and is subjected to the foaming process, and in this case, the temperature of the extruder 20 may be in the range of 240 ℃ to 280 ℃, but is not limited thereto.
On the other hand, the surface of the main body of the cooling device 10 is cooled by cooling water, and the foamed sheet 1 can be guided along the surface of the cooling device 10 and cooled.
Further, referring to fig. 8, the foamed sheet 1 discharged in a cylindrical shape from the die 21 is cooled along the surface of the cooling device, and a partial region of the foamed sheet 1 is cut and developed by a cutter 60 provided at the rear end of the cooling device 10.
The cooling air may flow into the space between the foam sheet 1 and the neck 400 through the flow guide 200, and may be discharged to the exhaust part 310 through the inflow holes 410.
In this case, a part of the cooling air flows into the inlet 410, and a part of the cooling air forms a space between the cooling device and the foam sheet, so that friction generated in the cooling and sheet spreading directions of the foam sheet can be reduced, thereby improving operability.
On the other hand, a polyethylene terephthalate foamed sheet formed of a crystalline polymer cannot be manufactured by a conventional manufacturing apparatus of a polystyrene foamed sheet (PS Foam) formed of an amorphous polymer.
In the process of producing the polyethylene terephthalate foam sheet, in order to control the melt viscosity (strength), the mixing property of the raw materials and the crystallinity control are improved by the optimum blending ratio of the raw materials and the precise temperature adjustment of the extruder as in the production process described above, and thus a uniform foam sheet can be produced.
On the other hand, the present invention includes a polyethylene terephthalate foam sheet manufacturing apparatus 12 of another embodiment. The above-mentioned polyethylene terephthalate foamed sheet manufacturing apparatus 12 may include the polyethylene terephthalate foamed sheet cooling apparatus 10 as described above.
The above-mentioned apparatus 12 for producing a foamed sheet can easily adjust the thickness of the foamed sheet by stretching the foamed sheet, can control the thickness to 10mm or less, and can improve the physical properties of the foamed sheet and improve the durability after the stretching process.
Fig. 9 is a block diagram of a manufacturing apparatus 12 for a polyethylene terephthalate foam sheet according to another embodiment of the present invention.
The apparatus 12 for producing a polyethylene terephthalate foamed sheet according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 8 and 9.
Referring to fig. 9, the apparatus 12 for manufacturing a polyethylene terephthalate foamed sheet according to the present invention includes a hopper 22, an extruder 20, a cooling device 10, a first roller unit 30, a second roller unit 40, and a heating unit 50.
More specifically, the apparatus 12 for producing a polyethylene terephthalate foamed sheet of the present invention includes a hopper 22 for charging a raw material for a foamed sheet.
The apparatus 12 for producing a polyethylene terephthalate foamed sheet of the present invention includes an extruder 20, and the extruder 20 includes a die 21 for melting the foamed sheet raw material charged into the hopper 22 and discharging the foamed sheet 1.
The hopper 22 may be formed at an upper portion of the extruder 20.
To produce the above-mentioned foamed sheet 1, the polyethylene terephthalate sheet, the additive and the foaming agent may be mixed and charged into the hopper 22.
For example, 100 parts by weight of the polyethylene terephthalate sheet, 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of the foaming gas, 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of the thickener, and 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of the nucleating agent may be mixed and charged, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
The raw material charged as described above passes through the extruder 20 and the die 21 and is subjected to the foaming process, and in this case, the temperature of the extruder 20 may be in the range of 240 ℃ to 280 ℃, but is not limited thereto.
Further, the cooling device 10 can cool the foamed sheet 1 discharged from the extruder 20.
More specifically, the surface of the above-described cooling device 10 is cooled by cooling water, and the foamed sheet 1 may be guided along the surface of the cooling device 10 and cooled.
In the cooling device 10, the cooling water circulates along the inner circumferential surface, and an inflow nozzle (not shown) through which the cooling water flows so as to cool the surface may be provided.
The cooling device may spray cooling air toward the stamper 21 to cool the foamed sheet 1 discharged from the stamper 21.
Further, the manufacturing apparatus 12 of the present invention may further include a cutter 60 for cutting the foam sheet 1 at the rear end of the cooling apparatus 10.
Referring to fig. 8, the foamed sheet 1 discharged from the die 21 is discharged in a cylindrical shape and passes through the cooling device 10, and therefore, before being transferred to the first roller portion 30, a partial region is cut by the cutter 60, spread, and then transferred to the first roller portion 30.
The cutter 60 may be provided so as to be positioned at the upper end 60 or the lower end 60' of the foam sheet 1, but is not limited thereto.
The number of the cutters 60 may be plural as necessary, and the positions thereof may be appropriately selected and set.
On the other hand, the first roller section 30 of the present invention includes a first upper roller 31 and a first lower roller 32 at upper and lower portions with respect to the foamed sheet 1, and can press-contact the foamed sheet 1 passing through the cooling device 10.
The initial thickness of the foamed sheet to be foamed can be adjusted by adjusting the speed of the first roller section 30. Since the sheet breakage can be caused at a high speed by the cooling device 10, the sheet breakage can be prevented in advance by adjusting the speeds of the first upper roller 31 and the first lower roller 32 as described above.
Further, the second roller part 40 may include a second upper roller 41 and a second lower roller 42 for extending the foam sheet 1 pressed by the first roller part 30.
The manufacturing apparatus 12 of the present invention may further include a Winder (not shown) for winding the foam sheet 1.
The foam sheet 1 may be wound around an additional winder (not shown), and the winder may be disposed at the rear end of the second roller portion 40, for example, but is not limited thereto.
The second upper roller 41 and the second lower roller 42 may be disposed at a predetermined interval from the foam sheet.
The distance between the second upper roller 41 and the second lower roller 42 through which the foam sheet 1 passes may be 0.1mm to 10.0 mm.
More specifically, as described above, the uniformity of the thickness of the foam sheet can be improved by the interval d of the second upper roller 41 and the second lower roller 42, with the effect that the gloss of the surface can be improved.
Further, the first upper roller 31 and the second upper roller 41 rotate counterclockwise about the shaft, and the first lower roller 32 and the second lower roller 42 rotate clockwise.
The heating unit 50 for heating the foam sheet 1 may be disposed between the first roller unit 30 and the second roller unit 400.
More specifically, the heating part 50 may include an upper heater 51 and a lower heater 52 for heating the upper and lower surfaces of the foaming sheet 1.
In particular, the heating unit 50 may be provided to be movable as needed.
Wherein the heating part 50 can be operated at a temperature ranging from 50 ℃ to 300 ℃.
The heating unit 50 may use a contact plate heater or a non-contact plate heater.
For example, the contact plate Heater may be an Oil (Oil) circulation type or an electric Heater, and the non-contact plate Heater may be an Oil circulation type, an electric use type or an infrared Heater (IR Heater).
In particular, the upper heater 501 and the lower heater 52, that is, the heating part 50 may be a contact plate heater, and the foaming sheet 1 may be heated by heating the temperatures of the respective heaters to the same temperature.
On the other hand, the apparatus 12 for manufacturing a polyethylene terephthalate foam sheet according to the present invention can control the thickness of the foam sheet 1 by adjusting the rotation speed ratio of the first roller part 30 to the second roller part 40.
The rotation speed ratio of the first roller portion to the second roller portion may be 1: 1 to 1: 10, more preferably, may be 1: 3 to 1: 8.
the thickness of the finally manufactured foam sheet 1 can be controlled by the above rotation speed ratio, and the thickness can be controlled by 1: 1 to 1: a rotation speed ratio in the range of 10 produces a foamed sheet 10 of 10mm or less, specifically, a foamed sheet produced by 1: 3 to 1: the rotation speed ratio in the range of 8 is not limited to 1mm or less, and the rotation speed ratio may be set according to the product. Wherein the thickness of the product can be reduced as the difference in the rotation speed ratio increases.
Wherein, if the rotation speed ratio is 1: when the thickness of the foamed sheet 1 is less than 1mm, the rotational speed ratio is 1: when the amount is 8 or more, the durability of the foamed sheet can be reduced and the foamed sheet can be broken.
When the first and second roller portions initially operate, a rotation speed ratio of the first and second roller portions may be 1: 1.
the initial operation state is a state in which the foam sheet 1 is unwound by the cutter 60 and then transferred to the second roller portions 30 and 40 by the first roller portion 30.
In the initial operation, the heating unit 50 is not located between the first and second roller units, but is located outside.
Further, after the initial operation of the first roller unit 30 and the second roller unit 40, the heating unit 50 may be moved and operated between the first roller unit and the second roller unit to heat the upper surface and the lower surface of the foam sheet 1.
That is, in the initial operation, the heating section 50 is not disposed between the first roller section and the second roller section, and then the foamed sheet 1 is transferred to the second roller section, and then the heating section 50 is disposed so as to be moved between the first roller section and the second roller section.
When the temperature of the foam sheet 1 is increased by the heater to a temperature capable of stretching, such as a glass transition temperature (Tg) or higher, specifically, 85 ℃ or higher, the thickness of the foam sheet 1 is adjusted by adjusting the speed of the second roller portion 40.
The second roller portion, i.e., the second upper roller and the second lower roller, may rotate at the same speed.
As described above, when the speed of the second roller part 40 is set higher than the speed of the first roller part 30 after the temperature of the foam sheet 1 rises, the foam sheet 1 is pulled toward the second roller part 40 side due to the rotation speed of the two roller parts, and the stretching is completed.
Therefore, the thickness of the foamed sheet 1 passing through the second roll portion 40 can be made 10mm or less and 1mm or less.
In particular, the foam sheet 1 having a Film (Film) form of 1mm or less can be produced.
By the stretching step, the surface layer of the foam sheet 1 is also foamed after the temperature is raised, so that the structure of the cells (cells) in the foam sheet is further strengthened, and the durability of the foam sheet 1 can be improved.
As described above, in the apparatus 12 for producing a polyethylene terephthalate foamed sheet according to the present invention, the raw material is charged, the foamed sheet 1 is discharged from the extruder 20, foamed, and cooled by the cooling apparatus 10, and thereafter, cut and developed by the cutter 60 provided at the rear end of the cooling apparatus.
After that, when the foamed sheet 1 is pressed by the first roller section 30 and transferred to the second roller section 40, the heating section 50 is disposed between the first roller section 30 and the second roller section 40 to heat the foamed sheet 1 to a temperature at which the foamed sheet can be extended. After the temperature rises, the foamed sheet is stretched by adjusting the speed of the second roller portion 40, and then wound around a winder (not shown).
The above-described steps can produce a foamed sheet having a thickness of 10mm or less, particularly 1mm or less, and improved durability.
The method for producing a polyethylene terephthalate foamed sheet according to the present invention using the production apparatuses 11 and 12 as described above will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 10. Therefore, the process for producing a polyethylene terephthalate foamed sheet described later can be applied to the production apparatuses 11 and 12 and the cooling apparatus 10 in the same manner.
The method for producing a polyethylene terephthalate foam sheet of the present invention includes a raw material charging step S100, a foam sheet cooling step S200, a foam sheet pressure-bonding step S300, a foam sheet heating step S400, and a foam sheet stretching step S500.
More specifically, the raw material charging step S100 is a step of charging the foamed sheet raw material into the hopper 22 of the extruder 20.
In the raw material charging step S100, the polyethylene terephthalate sheet, the additive, and the foaming agent may be mixed and charged into the hopper 22 to produce the foamed sheet 1.
For example, 100 parts by weight of the polyethylene terephthalate sheet, 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of the foaming gas, 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of the thickener, and 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of the nucleating agent may be mixed and charged, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
At this time, the foaming step is performed by controlling the temperature of the extruder 20 to be in the range of 240 ℃ to 280 ℃ and passing the raw material charged as described above through the extruder 20 and the die 21.
Next, the foamed sheet cooling step S200 is a step of cooling the foamed sheet 1 discharged from the extruder 20 by the cooling device 10.
More specifically, in the above-described cooling step S200, the surface of the cooling device 10 is cooled by the cooling water flowing into the cooling device 10, whereby the foamed sheet 1 can be cooled.
The surface of the cooling device 10 is cooled by cooling water, and the foamed sheet 1 can be guided and cooled along the surface of the cooling device 10.
In the cooling step S200, the cooling device 10 sprays cooling air to the stamper 21 side of the extruder, thereby cooling the foamed sheet 1 discharged from the stamper 21.
Further, the manufacturing method of the present invention may further include a sheet cutting step of cutting the foamed sheet 1 by a cutter 60 provided at the rear end of the cooling device 10.
Referring to fig. 9, the foamed sheet 1 discharged from the die 21 is discharged in a cylindrical shape and passes through the cooling device 10, and thus, before being transferred to the first roller portion 30, a partial region is cut by the cutter 60 and spread, and then is transferred to the first roller portion 30.
Next, in the foam sheet pressure-bonding step S300 of the present invention, the foam sheet 1 is pressure-bonded by the first roller portions 30 provided at the upper and lower portions with the foam sheet 1 as the center so that the foam sheet 1 passing through the cooling device 10 is pressure-bonded.
The first roller section 30 may include first upper rollers 31 and first lower rollers 32 at upper and lower portions around the foamed sheet 1, and may press-contact the foamed sheet 1 passing through the cooling device 10.
When the foam sheet 1 passes between the first upper roller 31 and the first lower roller 32, the first upper roller 31 rotates counterclockwise about the axis, and the first lower roller 32 rotates clockwise about the axis, so that the foam sheet 1 can be pressure-contacted.
In the pressure bonding step S300, the initial thickness of the foamed sheet to be foamed may be adjusted by adjusting the speed of the first roller section 30. Since the sheet breakage can be caused at a high speed by the cooling device 10, the sheet breakage can be prevented in advance by adjusting the speeds of the first upper roller 31 and the second lower roller 32 as described above.
Next, the foamed sheet heating step S400 of the present invention is a step of heating the foamed sheet 1 by the heating section 50 disposed between the first roller section 30 and the second roller section 40.
More specifically, the above heating step S400 may heat the foaming sheet 1 by adjusting a heating part capable of operating at a temperature range of 50 ℃ to 300 ℃.
The heating step S400 may further include a step of transferring the foam sheet 1 to the second roller unit 40 before heating the foam sheet 1. That is, the heating step S400 may be performed after being transferred to the second roller part 40 before heating the foaming sheet and extending.
Next, the foam sheet stretching step S500 is a step of stretching the foam sheet 1 by the second roller portion 40 provided to stretch the foam sheet 1 pressed by the first roller portion 30.
In the stretching step S500, the foam sheet 1 may be stretched by disposing the second upper roller and the second lower roller at a predetermined interval from the foam sheet.
On the other hand, in the extension step S500 of the method for manufacturing a polyethylene terephthalate foam sheet according to the present invention, the thickness of the foam sheet 1 can be controlled by adjusting the rotation speed ratio of the first roller section 30 to the second roller section 40.
The rotation speed ratio of the first roller portion to the second roller portion may be controlled to be 1: 1 to 1: 10, preferably controlled in the range of 1: 3 to 1: 8, to control the thickness of the foamed sheet 1.
In the extending step S500, when the first roller portion and the second roller portion are initially operated, the rotation speed ratio of the first roller portion to the second roller portion may be set to 1: 1.
The initial operation state is a state in which the foam sheet 1 is unwound by the cutter 60 and then transferred to the second roller portions 30 and 40 by the first roller portion 30.
In the initial operation, the heating unit 50 is not located between the first and second roller units, but is located outside.
Further, the stretching step S500 may further include a heating unit moving step of moving the heating unit 50 between the first roller unit and the second roller unit to heat the upper surface and the lower surface of the foam sheet 1 after the initial operation of the first roller unit 30 and the second roller unit 40.
That is, in the initial operation, the heating section 50 is not disposed between the first roller section and the second roller section, and when the foam sheet 1 moves to the second roller section, the heating section 50 is disposed so as to move between the first roller section and the second roller section.
If the temperature of the foam sheet 1 is raised by the heater to a temperature capable of stretching, such as a glass transition temperature (Tg) or more, specifically, 85 ℃ or more, a step of adjusting the thickness of the foam sheet 1 by adjusting the speed of the second roller portion 40 is performed.
As described above, when the speed of the second roller part 40 is set higher than the speed of the first roller part 30 after the temperature of the foamed sheet 1 rises, the foamed sheet 1 is pulled toward the second roller part 40 side due to the rotation speed of both roller parts, and the stretching step is completed.
In particular, the thickness of the foamed sheet 1 passing through the second roll portion 40 can be made 1mm or less.
Therefore, the thickness of the foamed sheet 1 passing through the second roll portion 40 can be made 10mm or less and 1mm or less.
In particular, a foamed sheet 1 having a film form of 1mm or less can be produced.
By the above extension step, the surface layer of the foam sheet 1 is also foamed by the increased temperature, so that the structure of the cells in the foam sheet is made stronger, and the durability of the foam sheet 1 can be improved.
Further, the present invention may further include a winding step of winding the foam sheet 1 around a winder (not shown) after the stretching step is completed. For example, the foam sheet 1 is wound around a winder disposed at the rear end of the second roller 40, thereby completing the product production.
As described above, the method for producing a polyethylene terephthalate foamed sheet of the present invention can produce a foamed sheet having a thickness of 10mm or less, particularly 1mm or less, and improved durability through the above-described steps.
