Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a method and a device for simultaneously manufacturing a plurality of filaments electrostatically, as well as products which can be obtained using such a method.
  • thermoplastic materials capable of being ground in the pulverulent state the most suitable means for forming a regular layer of molten thermoplastic material on the filiform electrode consisting in fact coating this electrode with powdered material and then melting this powdered material, so that this choice remains relatively limited (all the materials cannot in fact be ground to the powder state).
  • the object of the present invention is precisely to at least partially remedy the aforementioned drawbacks, by proposing a particularly simple method making it possible to simultaneously produce a large number of fibers or filaments, this production being able, moreover, to be carried out from materials having very diverse initial forms.
  • the present invention finally relates to the various products which can be obtained using such a method and / or device.
  • one of the essential characteristics of the process and / or device described above resides in the continuous formation on at least one inclined surface of a layer of a normally dielectric material maintained, at least in the lower part of this inclined surface, in a sufficiently fluid state to be able to flow continuously by gravity to the lower edge of this inclined surface, the simultaneous formation of a plurality of filaments then being obtained by electrostatic drawing. tick of at least the portion of this fluid layer arriving continuously on this lower edge.
  • the realization of such a continuous flow of the spinnable material 'along a inclined surface has the major advantage of allowing a continuous flow of material at the lower edge of the inclined surface, and consequently the constant renewal of this material at this lower edge, as it is removed to give rise to the formation of filaments.
  • the constant renewal of material in the electrostatic drawing zone (moreover assured, as can be seen, in a particularly simple manner) can in particular be used to ensure the formation of filaments of indefinite length.
  • the normally dielectric materials capable of being thus spun by the process according to the invention can be of very diverse nature, the essential thing being that they can be temporarily maintained in a sufficiently fluid state to allow their continuous flow in the form of a regular layer along an inclined surface, at the same time as their electrostatic drawing in the form of filaments (any dielectric material can indeed be electrostatically spun only if its viscosity can be lowered enough to allow the electrostatic forces of the '' prevail over the reaction forces developed by viscosity), while nevertheless being capable of relatively rapid solidification after cessation of their maintenance in this fluid state (in order to allow the filaments obtained present, when arriving on their receiving surface, a degree solidification sufficiently pronounced not to be forced to automatically give back t instead of a continuous fluid layer).
  • thermoplastic or hot-melt materials namely materials capable of being brought into a sufficiently fluid state by heating, and of then be re-solidified sufficiently quickly (all the more quickly since it is a question of filaments of relatively small section) by simple cooling (in principle natural cooling, nevertheless capable of being reinforced by any suitable means, such as for example circulation of gas against the current of the direction of progression of the filaments).
  • thermoplastic materials should here be understood in a much broader sense than that normally used in the field of plastics
  • spinning plastics such as polypropylene, polyethylene, etc ..., inorganic materials such as glasses, etc ... or other very diverse materials such as coal or petroleum pitch, chocolate, etc.
  • the layer intended to be formed continuously on the inclined surface according to the invention by means of such thermoplastic or hot-melt materials can advantageously be maintained in a sufficiently fluid state (to allow its continuous flow along this inclined surface) by adequate heating of this inclined surface, such heating of this inclined surface may, in a particularly advantageous manner, be achieved by the Joule effect, while providing for using r an inclined surface made of an electrically conductive material (such an electrically conductive material should however be chosen so as to have a sufficiently high resistivity to allow good energy dissipation, as well as a sufficiently strong oxidation resistance to prevent any risk of oxidation during its heating, so that it may advantageously consist of one of the types of materials normally used as a resistive heating element in electric heaters).
  • thermoplastic or hot-melt material on the inclined surface can, for its part, be carried out in very different ways (which will be described later), the thermoplastic or hot-melt material being able in particular to be poured onto the inclined surface under a still solid form (and brought into a sufficiently fluid state only after contacting the inclined surface) or on the contrary in an already fluid form or even completely melted. It can therefore be seen that the above-described formation process of the continuous flow of material along the inclined surface allows the use of thermoplastic or hot-melt materials likely to be presented in the most diverse initial forms such as powder, granules, flakes, mass pays, melt, etc ...
  • This continuous flow of spinnable material along the inclined surface will moreover preferably be adjusted so as to give a flow of material at the lower edge of this inclined surface which is regular over the entire extent of the lower edge as well as constant over time, so as to allow the formation of regular filaments with constant characteristics and reproducible over time (the diameter of the filaments obtained depends in particular directly on this flow of material at the lower edge of the inclined surface).
  • This adjustment of the material flow rate can be carried out in various ways, which will be explained later.
  • This first electrode provided with a relatively sharp edge can, in a particularly advantageous manner, be precisely constituted by the lower edge of the inclined surface supporting the fluid layer of spinnable material, in the case where this inclined surface is made of an electrically conductive material (this lower edge then having to be shaped according to a profile which is sufficiently "sharp" to give rise to the required field concentration).
  • This first electrode provided with a relatively sharp edge can nevertheless, in certain application cases, be constituted by an annex electrode entirely distinct from this lower edge (the inclined surface then being able in particular in such a case to be made of a material not electrically driver).
  • the filaments thus obtained by electrostatic drawing can be collected directly on the counter-electrode placed at a distance from the field concentrating electrode, or alternatively on any other suitable receiving surface interposed in front of this counter-electrode (for example receiving surface constituted by tissue , paper, or other suitable material).
  • the filaments thus obtained by electrostatic drawing can also (taking into account the ability of the method according to the invention to be able to produce filaments of indefinite length) be advantageously subjected to a drawing operation before reaching their receiving surface, this drawing operation which can be carried out by all the appropriate cores (such as for example drawing trains arranged on the path of the filaments upstream of their receiving surface).
  • the filaments thus collected on an entire suitable receiving surface can then be the subject of very diverse applications such as production of non-woven products, formation of a continuous coating on an appropriate surface by subsequent melting of the filaments thus collected on this surface, etc.
  • the inclined surface intended to allow a continuous supply of a spinnable material into the electrostatic drawing zone can finally take very diverse forms, depending on the type of applications envisaged.
  • This inclined surface can thus take the form of a flat plate (inclined with respect to the vertical) of relatively large longitudinal extension, in the case where it is desired, for example, to collect the filaments on flat receiving surfaces (the counter-electrode can then in this case advantageously be constituted by a flat conductive plate of longitudinal extension substantially equivalent to that of the drawing zone, arranged horizontally below and at a distance from the rectilinear lower edge of this flat inclined plate).
  • This inclined surface can also take the form of a frustoconical surface, in the case where it is desired for example to collect the filaments on tubular receiving surfaces (the counter-electrode can then in this case advantageously be constituted by a conductive plate annular disposed concentrically to the axis of revolution of the frustoconical inclined surface, at height and at a distance from the circular lower edge of the latter.
  • the method and / or device according to the invention is not, of course, in any way limited to the use of a single inclined surface (although mention has hitherto been made of a single surface in the description), and on the contrary, it is quite possible to envisage the simultaneous use, in the same apparatus, of a plurality of inclined surfaces arranged one next to the other, so as to allow the simultaneous production of several pluralities of filaments.
  • Such production can in particular be taken advantage of so as to allow the production of non-woven multilayer products of relatively large overall thickness (receiving surface then passing successively vertically below each of the inclined surfaces), the mn-woven products thus made which can also be optionally composite (by providing a supply of different materials on the different inclined surfaces).
  • the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can take an electrically conductive flat plate 1 of rectangular shape, the longitudinal extension of which is relatively high compared to its transverse extension (for example longitudinal extension of about 100 cm for a transverse extension of approximately 2cm).
  • This flat conductive plate 1 is mounted by its respective ends to la and lb on two inclined insulating arms 3a and 3b (themselves connected to a frame 4), so as to be held in an inclined position relative to the vertical in its transverse direction (inclination of the plate 1 chosen of the order of 45 °) while extending substantially horizontally in its longitudinal direction.
  • the conductive plate 1 is also my tee on the respective inclined arms 3a and 3b so that it can be put under mechanical tension in its longitudinal direction.
  • one of the ends 1a of this plate 1 is held in a fixed position on the corresponding inclined arm 3a (for example by means of screws), while its other end 1b is connected to the other inclined arm. 3b by means of threaded rods sliding freely through this arm 3b, so as to allow the mechanical tensioning of the plate 1 by compression, by means of nuts 7, of springs 6 threaded on the free end of the rods 5 projecting from the rear face of the inclined arm 3b.
  • this inclined plate 1 is also curved backwards, so as to delimit a straight lower edge 2 having a rounded profile with a relatively small radius of curvature (for example radius of curvature of the order of 0, 4mm, the thickness of the plate 1 being also of the order of 0.3mm).
  • Plumb with the front face of this inclined plate 1 is also arranged an electrically conductive flat counter plate 8 of rectangular shape, whose longitudinal extension is equivalent to that of plate 1, and whose lower end is also advantageously bent backwards (namely towards its face opposite to that facing the plate 1) so as to delimit a straight lower edge 9 with a rounded profile.
  • This conductive counter plate 8 is mounted by its respective ends 8a and 8b on two vertical insulating arms 10a and 10b (themselves connected to a frame 11), so as to be held in its transverse direction in a substantially vertical position, while extending by its lower rectilinear edge 9 above the substantially central part of the front face of the plate 1.
  • the mounting of this counterplate 8 on its respective vertical arms 10a and 10b is also carried out so analogous to the mounting of the plate 1 on its respective inclined arms 3a and 3b, so as also to allow the mechanical tensioning of this counterplate 8.
  • the inclined plate 1 and the vertical plywood 8 are thus arranged one with respect to the other in such a way that the vertical plywood 8 delimits in cooperation with the par upper tie the one of the plate 1 a longitudinal space 12 in the form of a V, the lower rectilinear edge 9 of the counter plate 8 delimiting, moreover, with the corresponding portion of the plate 1 a longitudinal opening 13 of constant width (under which s 'extend the lower part Id of the plate 1 provided with its lower rectilinear edge 2).
  • the width of this longitudinal opening 13 is moreover capable of being adjusted by vertical movement of the chassis 11, using appropriate means not shown in the drawing (vertical movement shown diagrammatically in the drawing by the arrow F).
  • a hopper 15 made of an electrically insulating material, fixed to the respective arms 3a and 3b of the chassis 4 by means of lugs fastening 16.
  • This hopper 15, which is intended to be filled with a thermoplastic material in the solid state capable of being in any suitable initial form, is arranged above the longitudinal space 12 so that its longitudinal walls just come flush with the respective upper edges of the plates 1 and 8 (fig.
  • thermoplastic material delivered by this hopper 15 in order to allow the thermoplastic material delivered by this hopper 15 to come freely to contact the walls opposite the respective plates 1 and 8 (this hopper 15 being furthermore designed so that its end walls, on the other hand, extend to the bottom of the V-shaped space 12, in order to prevent the material 12 from being able to escape laterally).
  • the electrically conductive plates 1 and 8 are also intended to be traversed by a longitudinal electric current in order to allow their heating by Joule effect, so as to cause a sufficient softening of the thermoplastic material thus brought into contact with them (the constituent electrically conductive material of these plates 1 and 8 must then be chosen so as to be sufficiently resistive to allow good dissipation of energy, as well as sufficiently resistant to oxidation to prevent any corrosion during its heating).
  • the respective ends 1b and 8b of these plates are intended to be connected to one of the poles of a source of ten alternative Zion S (of the order of 10V), the other pole of which is connected to ground, the other ends 1a and 8a of these plates also being also connected to ground.
  • HV source of the order of 20 to 40 kv
  • This metal plate 18 thus capable of being brought to a continuous high voltage is intended to allow the establishment in cooperation with the lower rectilinear edge 2 of the plate 1 connected to ground (apart from the low alternating voltage established in the direction longitudinal of the plate 1), of an intense electrostatic field coming to be concentrated on this lower edge 2 (this lower edge 2 thus playing the role of a field concentrating electrode in the device thus described, and the metal plate 18 that of 'a counter electrode).
  • a flexible receiving surface 19 capable of being drawn continuously from a supply roller 20 to be rewound continuously on a storage roller 21, by means of a motor drive 22 mounted on the roller shaft 21.
  • the opening 13 is then restored to the desired width for the rest of the process, thus giving rise to the formation of a regular molten layer 25 flowing continuously by gravity along the lower part ld of the plate 1, according to a perfectly constant flow over time.
  • the perfectly constant nature of this flow is explained by the fact that it only depends on the height of the molten bath 24, which is precisely fixed by the free height of the heated plates 1 and 8 above the opening. 13, as well as the width of the opening 13, which is also precisely fixed by the rigorous arrangement of the plates 1 and 8 relative to each other (any risk of deviation in the width of this opening 13, likely to occur due to the heating of the plates 1 and 8, being precisely suppressed by the mechanical tensioning of these plates 1 and 8).
  • the filaments 26 thus propelled towards the counter-electrode 18 are then collected on the flexible receiving surface 19, the distance between this receiving surface 19 and the field concentrating electrode 2 being moreover chosen large enough for the filaments 26 to arrive on this receiving surface with a degree of solidification sufficient to allow them to keep their filament shape.
  • the filaments 26 thus obtained are moreover capable of being drawn according to indefinite lengths, taking into account the constant renewal of the portion of material 25 fed continuously on the field concentrating electrode 2.
  • the rigorously exact explanation of such a charging mechanism is however absolutely not essential for a good understanding of the process according to the invention, the teaching given elsewhere as to this process appear indeed amply sufficient to allow its reproduction by those skilled in the art, even without precise knowledge of this charging mechanism.
  • the device shown in fig.l and 2 could thus, by way of example, be used to ensure the formation of polypropylene filaments of indefinite length.
  • the parties polypropylene cules introduced in the solid state into the hopper 15 were heated using the plates 1 and 8 to a temperature of about 250 ° C, so as to give rise (the length of the opening 13 being fixed at approximately 1 mm, and the height of the molten bath 24 at approximately 10 mm) to the production of a continuous flow 25 along the lower part of the inclined plate 1 which has a viscosity of the order of 100 Newtons x sec / m 2 , as well as a mass flow rate of the order of 5 mg / sec per unit length (meter) of the inclined plate 1.
  • Fig.3 illustrates a variant of the form of execution of Figs. 1 and 2, which differs essentially from the latter (the identical elements remaining assigned the same reference signs of the drawing) by the fact that the lower part ld of the inclined plate 1 is here curved towards the rear face of the upper part lc of this plate 1, instead of extending in the extension of this upper part (as before), in order to allow the production of a regular layer 25 which flows continuously under this lower part ld, instead of flowing over this lower part as before (the flow 25 remaining here nevertheless pressed against the lower part ld thanks to the surface tension).
  • This variant has the advantage of allowing the entire extent of the flow 25 to be located opposite the counter-electrode 18, instead of the only lower portion of this flow as previously, which ensures better electric charge of the material to be electrostatically drawn (the electrostatic field being located effect here applied to the entire extent of the flow 25, instead of being applied to the sole lower portion of this flow as previously).

  • This hopper 31 is responsible for discharging, via an adjustable valve 32, particles of thermoplastic material in the solid state directly on the upper part of the plate 1.
  • this plate 1 by Joule effect then has the effect of causing the adhesion of the solid particles arriving in contact, these particles adhering to the plate 1 then gradually softening under the effect of the heating of this plate to give rise to the formation of a regular layer quickly brought into a sufficiently fluid state to cause its continuous flow u 25 along the plate 1.
  • the flow rate of this continuous flow 25 can for its part be adjusted to the desired value by appropriate actuation of the control valve 32.

  • Fig.5 illustrates a first variant of the embodiment shown in Fig.4 (identical elements remaining assigned the same signs of reference to the drawing), which differs essentially from the latter by the complementary use of a wire additional electrically conductive 41 extending below the lower edge of the inclined plate 1.
  • This wire 41 is also connected to ground so that it serves as a field concentrator electrode in place of the lower edge 2 (the 3rd field lines coming to concentrate on this wire 41 instead of concentrating on the lower edge as before ).
  • the electrostatic field no longer acting at the lower edge 2, the layer 25 maintained in continuous flow along the inclined plate 1 by the heating of this plate then simply spills onto the wire 41 also heated by Joule effect , so that the filaments 26 are now drawn continuously from this thread 41.
  • thermoplastic material has the major advantage of allowing the thermoplastic material to be heated in two successive stages of unequal duration, namely a first stage of relatively long duration at the inclined plate 1, during which the material is heated to a sufficient temperature. weak to avoid its degradation (but nevertheless sufficient to allow its flow along this plate), and a second short-term step at the level of the wire 41, during which the material is rapidly heated to a temperature sufficient to allow it to be drawn electrostatic (temperature allowing its viscosity to be lowered to a sufficiently low value for the electrostatic forces to prevail over the viscosity forces).
