Abstract

With known methods for coating back-cloth with a synthetic powdery product, the back-cloth is subjected to heat treatments; either the length of cloth is used as a heat conveyor, or it is traversed by heat radiation. The present method allows to avoid this. Owing to a metering unit (2), the synthetic powdery product passes from a powder storage tank (1) to the powder dispensing and supply compartment (3) wherefrom it is distributed on a transport surface (5) by means of a scraper (4). Heat sources (7-9) operate without contact, directly to the synthetic powdery product arranged on the intermediary carrier. The back-cloth to be coated (11) is pressed by means of a pressure cylinder (10) against the intermediary carrier (5) where the mostly adhesive powder adheres immediately to the back-cloth (11).

Description

Stoffbahnen mit einer Kunststoffbeschichtung sind bekannt. Die Beschichtung kann prinzipielle mit Pulver oder Pasten erfolgen. Das Aufbringen und Verteilen des Kunststoffes kann direkt, d. h. beispielsweise durch Aufstreuen eines Pulvers auf die textile Unterlage erfolgen oder indirekt mittels einem Zwischenträger, in Form einer gravierten Walze oder einem gelochten Zylinder. Aufstreuverfahren haben den Nachteil, dass das Pulver durch das Auftreten elektrostatischer Kräfte ungleichmässig ausfällt. Demgegenüber weist ein Verfahren, bei dem das Pulver mittels einem Zwischenträger in Form einer gravierten Walze auf die textile Bahn aufgetragen wird, den Vorteil einer gleichmässigen Beschichtun unter Wegfall der störenden Kräfte elektrostatischer Ladungen auf.Fabric panels with a plastic coating are known. The coating can in principle be done with powder or pastes. The application and distribution of the plastic can directly, i. H. for example, by sprinkling a powder on the textile base or indirectly by means of an intermediate carrier, in the form of an engraved roller or a perforated cylinder. Spreading methods have the disadvantage that the powder precipitates unevenly due to the occurrence of electrostatic forces. In contrast, a method in which the powder is applied to the textile web by means of an intermediate carrier in the form of an engraved roller has the advantage of a uniform coating while eliminating the disruptive forces of electrostatic charges.

Das Aufbringen des in den Vertiefungen der gravierten Walze befindlichen Materials auf die Stoffbahn muss mittels Wärme erfolgen. Zudem muss die Stoffbahn mit der gravierten Walze in Kontakt gebracht werden. Die doppelte Aufgabe, einerseits das Pulver durch Kontakt von der gravierten Förderfläche auf die Stoffbahn zu bringen und andererseits dem Kunststoffpulver die nötige Wärme zuzuführen, dass dieses die nötige Klebkraft entwickelt, um an der Stoffbahn zu haften, gelang bisher nicht getrennt zu lösen.The material located in the recesses of the engraved roller must be applied to the fabric using heat. In addition, the fabric web must be brought into contact with the engraved roller. The dual task of firstly bringing the powder onto the fabric web by contact with the engraved conveying surface and secondly supplying the plastic powder with the necessary heat so that it develops the necessary adhesive force to adhere to the web has not yet been able to be solved separately.

So musste bei einem Verfahren die Stoffbahn durch vorgeschaltete Wärmequellen derart hoch aufgeheizt werden, dass bei der Berührung der heissen Stoffbahn mit dem in den Vertiefungen der gravierten und gekühlten Walze enthaltenen Pulver dieses an der Stoffbahn augenblicklich anhaftet.In one method, the fabric had to be heated to such an extent by upstream heat sources that when the hot fabric touched the powder contained in the recesses of the engraved and cooled roller, it immediately adhered to the fabric.

Gemäss einem in der FR-A-2454334 offenbarten Verfahren wird das in die Vertiefungen des Zwischenträgers eingebrachte Pulver, während der Förderung auf dem Zwischenträger unter Zuführung von Wärme, durch die um mehr als den halben Umfang um den Zwischenträger geführte textile Unterlage hindurch, in einen so klebrigen Zustand versetzt, dass das Pulver bei der Wegführung der textilen Unterlage vom Zwischenträger an der textilen Unterlage haften bleibt.According to a method disclosed in FR-A-2454334, the powder introduced into the recesses of the intermediate carrier is conveyed into one during the conveyance on the intermediate carrier with the application of heat, through the textile support which is guided around the intermediate carrier by more than half the circumference so sticky that the powder sticks to the textile surface when the textile surface is removed from the intermediate carrier.

Obwohl die Temperaturführung eigentlich nur von der Art des verwendeten Pulvers abhängt, welches einen höheren oder tieferen Schmelzpunkt aufweisen kann, spielt die Art der zu beschichtenden textilen Bahn bei allen bisher bekannten Beschichtungsverfahren mittels einem Zwischenträger, zum Beispiel einer gravierten Walze, eine komplizierende Rolle.Although the temperature control actually only depends on the type of powder used, which may have a higher or lower melting point, the type of textile web to be coated plays a complicated role in all previously known coating methods by means of an intermediate carrier, for example an engraved roller.

So ist die Temperaturführung je nach Verfahren davom abhängig, wie dick die zu beschichtende Textilbahn ist, welche Farbe sie hat, welche Wärmeleitfähigkeit oder Strahlendurchlässigkeit sie aufweist, welche Wärmekapazität sie besitzt, und aus welcher chemischen Beschaffenheit sie besteht.Depending on the process, the temperature control depends on how thick the textile web to be coated is, what color it has, what thermal conductivity or radiation permeability it has, what heat capacity it has, and what chemical nature it consists of.

Die'vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Beschichten einer textilen Unterlage aus gewobenem oder ungewobenem Material aus natürlichen oder synthetischen Fasern, bei dem ein Kunststoffpulver über einen mit Vertiefungen versehenen Zwischenträger bei einer das Festkleben des Pulvers auf den Zwischenträger beim Aufbringen und Verteilen desselben vermeidenden Temperatur aufgebracht wird, wobei das in die Vertiefungen des Zwischenträgers eingebrachte Pulver während der Förderung auf dem Zwischenträger unter Zuführung von Wärme in einen klebrigen Zustand versetzt und durch Berührung mit der textilen Unterlage aus den Vertiefungen des Zwischenträgers entnommen wird. Ein Verfahren dieser Art ist aus der oben erwähnten FR-A-2 454 334 bekannt.The present invention relates to a method for coating a textile base made of woven or non-woven material made of natural or synthetic fibers, in which a plastic powder is applied via an intermediate carrier provided with depressions at a temperature which prevents the powder from sticking to the intermediate carrier when applying and distributing the same is, the powder introduced into the recesses of the intermediate carrier is put into a sticky state during the conveyance on the intermediate carrier with the application of heat and is removed from the recesses of the intermediate carrier by contact with the textile base. A method of this kind is known from the above-mentioned FR-A-2 454 334.

Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Verfahren der oben genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem die Temperaturführung unabhängig von der zu beschichtenden Stoffbahn erfolgen kann.It is the object of the present invention to provide a method of the type mentioned above, in which the temperature control can take place independently of the material web to be coated.

Diese Aufgabe löst ein Verfahren gemäss Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches, dass sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass das in die Vertiefungen des Zwischenträgers eingebrachte Pulver vor der Berührung mit der zu beschichtenden textilen Unterlage und unter Zuführung von Wärme in einen so klebrigen Zustand versetzt wird, dass das' Pulver an dem Zwischenträger augenblicklich anhaftet.This object is achieved by a method according to the preamble of the patent claim, which is characterized in that the powder introduced into the depressions of the intermediate carrier is brought into a sticky state before contact with the textile base to be coated and with the application of heat, so that the powder instantly attached to the intermediate carrier.

Die Zufuhr der Wärme erfolgt in diesem Fall ohne Behinderung durch die textile Unterlage direkt auf das in den Vertiefungen des Zwischenträgers liegende Pulver. Durch den Wegfall der textilen Unterlage im Bereich der Wärmezuführung auf das Pulver wird die gesamte Temperaturführung erheblich vereinfacht, sind dann doch lediglich stets gleichbleibende Maschinenfaktoren und die nur noch variierenden Kunststoffpulver bei der Temperaturführung zu berücksichtigen.In this case, the heat is supplied directly to the powder lying in the recesses of the intermediate carrier without hindrance through the textile base. By eliminating the textile base in the area of heat supply to the powder, the entire temperature control is considerably simplified, since then only constant machine factors and the only varying plastic powder have to be taken into account in the temperature control.

Der Zwischenträger lässt sich auf eine nach Massgabe des zu verwenden den Pulvers erforderlichen Temperatur halten. Dies kann durch Wärmezu- oder -abfuhr mittels entsprechenden Heiz- oder Kühlmitteln erfolgen. Dies ist abhängig von der Art der Wärmezuführung zu dem in den Vertiefungen des Zwischenträgers befindlichen Pulver.The intermediate carrier can be kept at a temperature which is required in accordance with the powder to be used. This can be done by supplying or removing heat using appropriate heating or cooling agents. This depends on the type of heat supply to the powder located in the depressions of the intermediate carrier.

Ueber eine Presswalze lässt sich die textile Bahn an den Zwischenträger anlegen, ohne dass dabei andere mechanische Mittel ausser Betracht fallen.The textile web can be placed on the intermediate carrier via a press roller without other mechanical means being disregarded.

Da es wünschenswert ist, dass die Pulvermengen in den Vertiefungen des Zwischenträgers bei der Wärmezufuhr eine Klebrigkeit entwickeln, die von der Innenseite der Vertiefungen nach aussen hin zunimmt, sollte die Wärmezufuhr zum Pulver vorteilhaft von ausserhalb des Zwischenträgers erfolgen.Since it is desirable that the amounts of powder in the recesses of the intermediate carrier develop a stickiness when the heat is applied, which increases from the inside of the recesses to the outside, the heat supply to the powder should advantageously take place from outside the intermediate carrier.

Anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung wird das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren nachfolgend erläutert.The method according to the invention is explained below with reference to the attached drawing.

Das nach Wunsch des Anwenders für das Verfahren zu verwendende und geeignete Pulver befindet sich in einem Pulvervorratsbehältnis 1. Das im Vorratsbehältnis 1 befindliche Pulver wird mittels einer Dosiervorrichtung nach Massgabe der Aufnahmemenge der in einem Zwischenträger 5 vorgesehenen Vertiefungen dem Pulvervorratsbehältnis 1 entnommen. Eine mögliche Ausführungsform einer solchen Dosiervorrichtung kann eine Dosierwalze 2 sein. Aber auch Rüttelsiebe oder rotierende Bürsten können in Frage kommen ohne dass nochmals andere Dosiervorrichtungen, wie sie in der Technik bekannt sind, ausgeschlossen wären.The powder which is to be used for the method and is suitable for the method is located in a powder storage container 1. The powder in the storage container 1 is removed from the powder storage container 1 by means of a metering device in accordance with the amount of the recesses provided in an intermediate carrier 5. A possible embodiment of such a metering device can be a metering roller 2. Vibrating screens or rotating brushes can also be considered without other metering devices, as are known in the art, being excluded.

Von der Pulverdosiervorrichtung fällt ein Pulvervorhang in einen Pulververteil- und -auftragsraum 3, der mindestens von einer Seite durch ein gekühltes Rakel 4, jedoch vorzugsweise von zwei Seiten von gekühlten Rakeln 4 begrenzt wird. Die beiden hier als Streichrakel 4 dargestellten Rakel 4 sind mit der Oberfläche des Zwischenträgers 5 in Kontakt.A powder curtain falls from the powder metering device into a powder distribution and application space 3, which is delimited at least on one side by a cooled doctor blade 4, but preferably on two sides by cooled doctor blades 4. The two doctor blades 4 shown here as the doctor blade 4 are in contact with the surface of the intermediate carrier 5.

Das bezüglich der Bewegungsrichtung des Zwischenträgers 5, der hier als eine gravierte Walze dargestellt ist, vordere Rakel 4 dient im wesentlichen lediglich der Begrenzung des Pulververteil- und -auftragraumes 3. Das bezüglich der Bewegungsrichtung des Zwischenträgers 5 nachfolgende gekühlte Rakel 4 sorgt für eine vollständige Füllung der Vertiefungen im Zwischenträger mit Pulver und schabt die überflüssige Menge ab. Bei richtiger Dosierung der Pulverzufuhr befindet sich immer nur eine geringe Pulvermenge im Raum 3, die fortlaufend verarbeitet wird.The front squeegee 4 with respect to the direction of movement of the intermediate carrier 5, which is shown here as an engraved roller, essentially serves only to limit the powder distribution and application space 3. The cooled squeegee 4 with respect to the direction of movement of the intermediate carrier 5 ensures complete filling the recesses in the intermediate carrier with powder and scrape off the unnecessary amount. With the correct dosage of the powder supply, there is always only a small amount of powder in room 3, which is continuously processed.

Der Zwischenträger 5, der als Förderfläche des Pulvers wirkt, kann eine sogenannte in der Pulverbeschichtungstechnik bekannte gravierte Walze sein, ohne dass dies anders gestaltete Zwischenträger 5 als Förderflächen ausschliesst. Der Zwischenträger kann mit Kühl- und/oder Heizmittel ausgerüstet sein, um eine konstante Temperatur der Oberfläche zu bewirken.The intermediate carrier 5, which acts as the conveying surface of the powder, can be a so-called engraved roller known in powder coating technology, without this precluding differently designed intermediate carriers 5 as conveying surfaces. The intermediate carrier can be equipped with coolant and / or heating medium in order to bring about a constant temperature of the surface.

Der sich bewegende Zwischenträger und damit das in seinen Vertiefungen eingerakelte Pulver kommt nun in eine relativ grosse Wärmebehandlungszone. In dieser Zone können ein oder mehrere Wärmequellen 7, 8, 9 in auf das Pulver abgestimmter Weise Wärme direkt auf das in den Vertiefungen liegende Pulver zuführen.The moving intermediate carrier and thus the powder scraped into its recesses now come into a relatively large heat treatment zone. In this zone, one or more heat sources 7, 8, 9 can supply heat directly to the powder lying in the depressions in a manner which is matched to the powder.

Im Gegensatz zu anderen Verfahren ist hier nicht die zu beschichtende Unterlage im Wege. Die Regulierung der Wärmezufuhr braucht somit nur noch auf das zu verwendende Pulver abgestimmt zu werden. Die Unterlage selber wird diesen unerwünschten Wärmeeinflüssen nicht ausgesetzt. Je nach den zu verwendenden Wärmequellen 7, 8, 9 erfolgt die Wärmezufuhr berührungslos, d. h. mittels Wärmestrahlung oder mittels Wärmeleitung oder Wärmemitführung. Auch Kombinationen verschiedener Wärmequellen sind realisierbar. Je nachdem kommen als Wärmequellen Heizflächen oder-walzen, heizstrahler oder heissluft in Frage.In contrast to other processes, the base to be coated is not in the way here. The regulation of the heat supply therefore only needs to be matched to the powder to be used. The underlay itself is not exposed to these undesirable effects of heat. Depending on the heat sources 7, 8, 9 to be used, the heat is supplied without contact, i. H. by means of heat radiation or by means of heat conduction or heat transfer. Combinations of different heat sources can also be realized. Depending on this, heating surfaces or rollers, radiant heaters or hot air can be considered as sources of heat.

Unter Einfluss der Wärmezuführung wird das in den Vertiefungen des Zwischenträgers liegende Kunststoffpulver erweicht und an der den Wärmequellen nächstgelegenen Schicht so angeschmolzen, dass sich hier grosse Klebekräfte entwickein.Under the influence of the heat supply, the plastic powder lying in the recesses of the intermediate carrier is softened and melted on the layer closest to the heat sources in such a way that large adhesive forces develop here.

An dieser Wärmezuführzone anschliessend wird die zu beschichtende Unterlage mit dem nunmehr im höchsten Mass klebrigen Pulver in Berührung gebracht.The substrate to be coated is then brought into contact with the powder, which is now extremely sticky, at this heat supply zone.

Hierzu kann die zu beschichtende Unterlage 11 um oder entlang einer Anpresswalze 10 geführt werden, die unter Zwischenschaltung der Unterlage auf den Zwischenträger 5 drückt. Das im höchsten Mass klebrige Pulver haftet nun augenblicklich an der zu beschichtenden Unterlage und wird von der um die Presswalze 10 laufenden Unterlage 11 aus den Vertiefungen des Zwichenträgers 5 gezogen. Auch hier wieder lässt sich die Temperaturführung durch Kühl- und Wärmemittel in der Presswalze 10 regulieren, womit ein Temperaturgefälle zwischen Oberfläche des Zwischenträgers und der zu beschichtenden Unterlage erzielen lässt.For this purpose, the substrate 11 to be coated can be guided around or along a pressure roller 10, which presses on the intermediate carrier 5 with the interposition of the substrate. The extremely sticky powder now immediately adheres to the base to be coated and is drawn from the base 11 of the intermediate carrier 5 by the base 11 running around the press roller 10. Here too, the temperature control can be regulated by means of coolants and heating agents in the press roll 10, which allows a temperature gradient to be achieved between the surface of the intermediate carrier and the substrate to be coated.

Obwohl der wichtigste Anwendungsbereich des Verfahrens in der Beschichtung textiler Unterlagen gesehen wird, kann das Verfahren aber sicherlich auch auf andere Materialien ausgedehnt werden. Gerade die schonende Behandlung der Unterlage, die nicht einer Wärmebehandlung im Auftragsbereich ausgesetzt wird, bringt wesentliche Vorteile für die Beschichtung aller wärmeempfindlichen Materialien, wie Textilien mit hohem Anteil synthetischer Fasern, lmitationsleder, Vliessstoffe und Filze, Papier und Fourniere, um nur einige Möglichkeiten aufzuzählen.Although the most important area of application of the process is seen in the coating of textile underlays, the process can certainly also be extended to other materials. The gentle treatment of the underlay, which is not subjected to heat treatment in the application area, brings significant advantages for the coating of all heat-sensitive materials, such as textiles with a high proportion of synthetic fibers, imitation leather, nonwovens and felts, paper and Fourniere, to name just a few.

Wichtig beim erfindungsgemässen Verfahren ist es, dass sämtliches auf dem Zwischenträger durch die Wärmezufuhr zone transportiertes und erweichtes Material auch wiederum dem Zwischenträger entnommen wird. Dazu ist es erforderlich, dass die mit Pulver versehene Fläche des Zwischenträgers mindestens gleich breit, wie die zu beschichtende Unterlage ist. Zudem muss aber auch die mit Pulver versehene Fläche des Zwischenträgers mit der Fläche der zu beschichtenden Unterlage in Deckung gebracht werden. Dies kann entweder durch Pulverentnahme vor der Wärmezufuhrzone erfolgen, indem man das seitlich mit der zu beschichtenden Unterlage nicht in Deckung bringbare Pulver absaugt 6 oder durch entsprechende Steuerung der seitlichen Führung der textilen Bahn 11.It is important in the method according to the invention that all the material transported and softened on the intermediate carrier through the heat supply zone is again removed from the intermediate carrier. For this it is necessary that the powder-coated surface of the intermediate carrier is at least as wide as the base to be coated. In addition, however, the powder-coated surface of the intermediate carrier must also be aligned with the surface of the substrate to be coated. This can be done either by removing powder in front of the heat supply zone, by suctioning off the powder 6 that cannot be brought into register laterally with the substrate to be coated, or by correspondingly controlling the lateral guidance of the textile web 11.

Damit ein Anhaften des Pulvers auch unter Einfluss der Wärmezuführung unterbunden wird, kann der Zwischenträger falls erforderlich auch mit einer Teflonschicht versehen sein.In order to prevent the powder from sticking under the influence of heat, the intermediate carrier can also be provided with a Teflon layer if necessary.

Selbst wenn mit einer Dosiervorrichtung gearbeitet wird, liegt eine geringe Menge Pulvervorrat direkt auf dem Zwischenträger auf. Verweilt das Pulver während einer gewissen Zeit unter Wärmeeinfluss könnten sich Klumpen bilden. Dies lässt sich durch eine Pulververteilvorrichtung, die das Kunststoffpulver ständig bewegt, vermieden werden.Even when working with a dosing device, there is a small amount of powder directly on the intermediate carrier. If the powder remains under the influence of heat for a certain time, lumps could form form. This can be avoided by using a powder distribution device that constantly moves the plastic powder.
