Abstract
Description
Für die Erstellung von Spinnvliesen sind verschiedene Verfahren und dafür geeignete Vorrichtungen bekannt. Als Ausgangsmaterialien werden thermoplastische Polymere verwendet, die aufgeschmolzen zu feinen Spinnfäden versponnen werden. Die ersponnenen Fäden werden meist aerodynamisch verstreckt und erhalten dadurch die gewünschte Festigkeit. Die Ablage der Fäden erfolgt nach dem Spinnvorgang oder auch unter Zwischenschaltung von Spulen auf einem Ablageband auf dem sie übereinander zu liegen kommen und das Spinnvlies bilden.There are various processes for creating spunbonded nonwovens suitable devices known. As starting materials are thermoplastic polymers used that melted to fine Spun threads are spun. The spun threads are mostly aerodynamically stretched and thereby get the desired strength. The threads are deposited after the spinning process or under Interposition of coils on a storage belt on which they come to lie on top of each other and form the spunbond.
In der DE-AS 1 303 569 ist ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Vliesen bekannt bei dem die ausgesponnenen Fäden durch einen Kanal geführt werden, dort aerodynamisch verstreckt werden und danach auf einer perforierten, sich fortbewegenden Unterlage in Vliesform abgelegt werden. DE-AS 1 303 569 describes a method for producing nonwovens known in which the spun threads are guided through a channel be stretched aerodynamically there and then on one perforated, moving pad in fleece form.
Um die statistisch ungeordnete Ablage der Fäden zu gewährleisten, ist unterhalb des Luftführungskanals eine Turbulenzzone vorgesehen, die ein Überkreuzlegen der Fäden unterstützt. Es entsteht ein sehr unregelmäßiges Vliesbild. Eine hohe Gleichmäßigkeit des Spinnvlieses wird dadurch erreicht, dass hintereinander mehrere Führungskanäle vorgesehen und die daraus hervortretenden Fadenscharen schichtmäßig übereinander zu einem Vlies abgelegt werden.To ensure the statistically unordered filing of the threads is A turbulence zone is provided below the air duct Cross-threading supported. The result is a very irregular one Fleece image. A high uniformity of the spunbonded web is achieved that several guide channels are provided one after the other and the resulting ones protruding layers of thread in layers one above the other to form a fleece be filed.
Um die angestrebte Gleichmäßigkeit des Vlieses und seine Festigkeit in Längs- oder Querrichtung bestimmen zu können, ist aus der DE 39 07 215 A1 bekannt, die Spinnbalken mitsamt der Fadenabzugsvorrichtung drehbar auszubilden. Hierdurch sollen auch die Nachteile behoben werden, die beim sogenannten Vorhangverfahren auftreten und die in bestimmten Bereichen zu Überlagerungen einzelner Filamenten führen können. Beim Vorhangverfahren besitzt das Vlies eine bevorzugte Festigkeit in Längsrichtung, d.h. in Produktionsrichtung, während die Festigkeitswerte in Querrichtung geringer sind. Durch die Schrägstellung der Spinnbalken mitsamt der Ablege- und Streckvorrichtung soll dieses ausgeglichen werden.To achieve the desired uniformity of the fleece and its strength in To be able to determine the longitudinal or transverse direction is known from DE 39 07 215 A1 known, the spinning beam together with the thread take-off device rotatable train. This is also intended to eliminate the disadvantages associated with So-called curtain procedures occur and in certain areas can lead to overlays of individual filaments. At the Curtain method, the nonwoven has a preferred strength in Longitudinal direction, i.e. in the direction of production, while the strength values in Transverse direction are lower. Due to the inclination of the spinning beam together with the laying and stretching device, this should be compensated.
Bekannt ist außerdem durch die DE 35 42 660 C2 unterhalb des
Abzugskanals eine Ablenkung des Luftstroms mit Hilfe einer parallel
angeordneten Schwenkvorrichtung zu erreichen um dadurch eine
Pendelbewegung der Fäden zu erzielen. Die Schwenkbewegung erfolgt in
Laufrichtung des Ablagebandes in Produktionsrichtung; u.a. können hier
auch sogenannte Coanderschalen Verwendung finden wie sie beispielsweise
in der DE 24 21 401 C3 beschrieben sind. Die vorgesehenen Maßnahmen
sind jedoch relativ träge, so dass nur langsame Schwingungen der
Fadenschar möglich sind. It is also known from

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Spinnvlieses durch Ausspinnen einer parallel nebeneinander angeordneten linearen Fadenschar in Form eines Vorhangs aus einer Vielzahl von Spinnkapilaren mit aerodynamischem Abziehen und Verstrecken der Fadenschar. Gemäß der Erfindung wird die aus dem Verstreckungskanal austretende oder einer Spule abgezogene Fadenschar von einem Luftstrom mit periodisch wechselnden Richtungen seitlich quer bewegt, wobei der Luftstrom in horizontaler Ebene gesehen schräg zur Fadenschar abwechselnd ausrichtet ist. Einzelne Luftstöße in wechselnden Richtungen bewirken, dass die Fadenschar quer zur Produktionsrichtung hin- und herbewegt wird, was zu der gewollten Vliesstruktur führt, beispielsweise eine hohe Gleichmäßigkeit in der Struktur.The invention is based on a method for producing a Spunbonded fabric by spinning a juxtaposed parallel linear thread sheet in the form of a curtain from a variety of Spin capillaries with aerodynamic pulling and stretching of the Yarn sheet. According to the invention, the stretching channel emerging or withdrawn from a bobbin of thread from an air stream moved laterally with periodically changing directions, the Air flow seen in a horizontal plane at an angle to the thread sheet is alternately aligned. Individual air blasts in changing directions cause the coulter to cross back and forth across the production direction is moved, which leads to the desired fleece structure, for example one high uniformity in structure.
Die Luftströme können abwechselnd von links und rechts ausgeführt werden. Als günstig erwies sich, wenn zwischen den einzelnen Luftströmen Luftpausen eingefügt sind, bei denen kein Luftstoß vorhanden ist und die ein zwischen den Luftstößen ein senkrechtes Ausrichten der Fadenschar gestatten.The air flows can be carried out alternately from left and right. It turned out to be beneficial if between the individual air flows Air breaks are inserted, where there is no air blast and the one a vertical alignment of the thread sheet between the air blasts allow.
Die generelle Ausblasrichtung der Luftströme ist senkrecht auf die Fadenschar gerichtet. Dabei wird ein Ausblaswinkel in horizontaler Ebene von 15° gewählt. Andere Ausblaswinkel sind je nach Bedarf selbstverständlich möglich. Möglich ist auch die Ausblasrichtung in vertikaler Ebene schräg nach unten auf die Fadenschar auszurichten. Der Ausblaswinkel in vertikaler Ebene kann 15° betragen.The general direction of air flow is perpendicular to the Thread cluster directed. This is a blow-out angle in the horizontal plane selected from 15 °. Other discharge angles are as needed of course possible. The vertical blow-out direction is also possible Align it diagonally downwards to the thread sheet. The Blow-out angle in the vertical plane can be 15 °.
Es ist ausreichend, wenn die Luftströme von der Vorderfront auf die Fadenschar gerichtet sind. Dieses schließt jedoch nicht aus, dass der Luftstrom auch von der Hinterfront oder von beiden Frontseiten auf die Fadenschar gerichtet werden kann. Dieses ist unter anderem abhängig von der Stärke der einzelnen Fäden und von den vorhandenen Strömungsverhältnissen für die Luftstöße. Gegebenenfalls kann der Ablagevorgang zusätzlich noch durch periodisch bewegte Strömungsleitflächen wie Schwenkklappen, Coanderschalen oder dergleichen unterstützt werden. Diese werden wie bereits im Stand der Technik bekannt so angeordnet, dass sie in Produktionsrichtung die Fadenschar zusätzlich hin und her schwenken.It is sufficient if the air flows from the front to the front Thread are directed. However, this does not exclude that the Airflow also from the rear or from both front to the Thread coulter can be directed. Among other things, this depends on the strength of the individual threads and the existing ones Flow conditions for the air blasts. If necessary, the Filing process additionally by periodically moving Flow control surfaces such as swivel flaps, Coander shells or the like are supported. As in the state of the Technology known to be arranged in the direction of production In addition, swing the thread coulter back and forth.
Die Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens besteht aus einem Spinnbalken mit einer Vielzahl von in einer Reihe liegenden Spinnkapilaren mit einem Kühlluftschacht und Verstreckungskanal und einem Ablageband. Gemäß der Erfindung ist unterhalb des Verstreckungskanals vor und / oder hinter der Fadenschar mindestens ein Blasschacht angeordnet mit in horizontaler Ebene gesehen schräg zur Fadenschar ausgerichteten Luftaustrittsdüsen. Die Luftaustrittsdüsen sind so angeordnet, dass sie wechselweise einen Luftstrom in unterschiedliche Richtungen blasen können und zwar auf die Fadenschar gesehen von links oder rechts. Dabei ist es günstig, wenn mindestens zwei parallel zueinander angeordnete Luftaustrittsdüsenreihen vorgesehen sind, wobei die Düsen einer Reihe entgegengesetzt zu den Düsen der anderen Reihe ausgerichtet sind. Die Luftzufuhr zu den Düsen erfolgt nacheinander, so dass einmal die Düsen nach links und einmal die Düsen nach rechts mit der Luft beaufschlagt sind. Hierfür wird die Luftzufuhr zu den Düsen jeweils einer Reihe durch einen Verschluss abgeschlossen. Möglich ist aber auch, die Düsen selbst mit Verschlüssen zu versehen und die Düsen jeweils einer Reihe abzuschließen und die andere Reihe zu öffnen.The device for performing the method consists of a Spinning beams with a large number of spinning capillaries lying in a row with a cooling air shaft and stretching duct and a storage belt. According to the invention is below the stretching channel before and / or at least one blow duct arranged behind the thread sheet with in seen horizontal plane obliquely to the thread sheet Air outlet nozzles. The air outlet nozzles are arranged so that they can alternately blow an air stream in different directions and seen from the left or right on the thread coulter. It is favorable if at least two arranged parallel to each other Air outlet nozzle rows are provided, the nozzles one row are oriented opposite to the nozzles of the other row. The Air is supplied to the nozzles one after the other, so that once the nozzles to the left and once the nozzles to the right are pressurized with air. For this purpose, the air supply to the nozzles is one by one Closure completed. But it is also possible to use the nozzles yourself To provide closures and to close the nozzles one row at a time and open the other row.
Für den Abschluss der Düsen kann eine drehbare Walze vorgesehen sein, die hohl ausgebildet und mit Längsschlitzen versehen ist.A rotatable roller can be provided to close off the nozzles, which is hollow and provided with longitudinal slots.
Die Düsen können durch wellblechartige Einlagen mit schräg zu ihrer Längsrichtung verlaufenden Wellungen gebildet sein, die in die Düsenwand eingelegt sind. Sie sind vorzugsweise auswechselbar, so dass der durch sie hindurchtretende Volumenstrom oder auch die Strömungsrichtung oder deren Winkel leicht verändert werden kann.The nozzles can be inserted at an angle to their through corrugated sheet-like inserts Longitudinal corrugations are formed, which in the nozzle wall are inserted. They are preferably interchangeable, so that through them passing volume flow or the flow direction or whose angle can be easily changed.
Die Düsenwand ist mit übereinander liegenden Längsschlitzen versehen, die mit den Längsschlitzen in der Walze korrespondieren. Eine besonders günstige Ausführungsform sieht die Anordnung eines Luftstauraumes im Blasschacht vor, der zwischen der Düsenwand und einer an der Walze liegenden Abdichtwand angeordnet ist. Dadurch wird eine sehr gleichmäßige Beaufschlagung der Düsen erreicht. The nozzle wall is provided with longitudinal slots lying one above the other correspond to the longitudinal slots in the roller. A special one favorable embodiment provides the arrangement of an air storage space in Blow chute in front, between the nozzle wall and one on the roller lying sealing wall is arranged. This will make it a very even one Actuation of the nozzles reached.
Der Luftstauraum ist durch ein Zwischenblech in zwei Kammern aufgeteilt, die den jeweilig oberen und unteren Längsschlitzen der Abdichtwand und den oberen und unteren Düsen in der Düsenwand zugeordnet sind. Die Walze ihrerseits ist dabei in einem mit Druckluft gefüllten Längskanal angeordnet, der mit einem Druckluftspeicher verbunden ist.The air storage space is divided into two chambers by an intermediate plate, which the respective upper and lower longitudinal slots of the sealing wall and are assigned to the upper and lower nozzles in the nozzle wall. The The roller in turn is in a longitudinal channel filled with compressed air arranged, which is connected to a compressed air reservoir.
Die rotierende Walze hat den Vorteil, dass auch bei größeren Produktionsbreiten ein gleichmäßiger Druck an den Düsen über die gesamte Produktionsbreite ansteht.The rotating roller has the advantage that even with larger ones Production widths a uniform pressure at the nozzles over the entire Production range is pending.
Die Ausblaswinkel der Düsen beider Düsenreihen sind vorzugsweise gleich, wodurch an der Fadenschar in beiden Richtungen eine gleiche Auslegung erreicht wird. Die Ausblaswinkel betragen 10 bis 60°, bevorzugt 45°.The outlet angles of the nozzles of both rows of nozzles are preferably the same, which means that the thread array has the same design in both directions is achieved. The blow-out angles are 10 to 60 °, preferably 45 °.
Zur weiteren Unterstützung des Vlieslegeverfahrens kann unterhalb des Blasschachtes eine verstellbare mechanische Luftführung zur Steuerung der Richtung der Luftströmung vorgesehen sein. Diese Luftführung kann aus schwenkbaren Flügelklappen oder auch aus Coanderschalen bestehen, durch welche die Fadenschar in Produktionsrichtung hin- und herbewegt werden kann.To further support the fleece laying process, below the Blasschachtes an adjustable mechanical air duct to control the Direction of air flow may be provided. This air flow can pivotable wing flaps or consist of Coander shells, through which the thread sheet moves back and forth in the production direction can be.
Zur Unterstützung der Luftführung sieht die bevorzugte Ausführungsform vor, dem Blasschacht gegenüber auf der anderen Front der Fadenschar ein in Blasschachtrichtung verstellbares Luftleitblech anzubringen. Durch dieses Luftleitblech wird die Richtung der seitlichen Luftströmung unterstützt und die seitliche Schwenkbewegung der Fadenschar kann stärker oder weniger stark eingestellt werden, in dem das Luftleitblech näher an den Blasschacht herangeführt wird oder davon entfernt wird. To support the air flow, the preferred embodiment provides opposite the blow shaft on the other front of the thread coulter Attach air baffle adjustable to the blow chute. Because of this Air baffle supports the direction of the side air flow and the lateral pivoting movement of the thread sheet can be stronger or less strong can be adjusted by moving the air baffle closer to the blow duct is introduced or removed from it.

Luftleitblechs 2 ist die Flügelklappe 22 vorgesehen, die um die Achse 23
verschwenkt werden kann, wie das mit dem Pfeil 24 angedeutet ist. Die aus
dem Verstreckungskanal 12 austretende Fadenschar 8 wird durch die
Luftströme aus den Luftaustrittsdüsen 10 und 11 seitlich quer hin und her
bewegt. Durch die Flügelklappe 22 wird die Fadenschar 8 zusätzlich in
Produktionsrichtung hin- und her geschwenkt. Das auf dem Ablageband 13
sich bildende Vlies hat eine außergewöhnlich hohe Gleichmäßigkeit und
gleiche Flächengewichtsverteilung.4 is a compilation of stretching
In der Fig. 5 ist-die bevorzugte Ausführungsform gezeigt, bei der die hohle
und mit Schlitzen 31 versehene Walze 30 im Blasschacht 3 in einem
separaten Längskanal 40 angeordnet ist. Zwischen der Düsenwand 33 des
Blasschachts 3 und einer Abdichtwand 34, an der die Walze 30 anliegt, ist
ein Luftstauraum 32 vorhanden, der über das Zwischenblech 14 in zwei
Kammern 15 und 16 unterteilt ist. In der Düsenwand 33 sind die Düsen 10
und 11 in Reihen übereinander angeordnet. Sie werden durch wellblechartige
Kammern 15 und 16 unterteilt ist. In der Düsenwand 33 sind die Düsen 10
und 11 in Reihen übereinander angeordnet. Sie werden durch wellblechartige
Einlagen 35 gebildet, mit schräg zu ihrer Längsrichtung (zur
Maschinenbreite) verlaufenden Wellungen. Die Einlagen 35 sind
auswechselbar. Die Abdichtwand 34 hat übereinander liegende
Längsschlitze 36, die mit den Längsschlitzen 31 in der Walze 30
korrespondieren. Die Längsschlitze 31 und 36 sind so aufeinander
abgestimmt, dass die Druckluft nur entweder der oberen Kammer 15 oder
der unteren Kammer 16 zugeführt wird. Dabei können Zwischenpausen
eingelegt werden, durch Überdeckung der Schlitze 36 durch die
Walzenwandung, welche ein senkrechtes Ausrichten der Fäden 8 erlauben.
Je nach dem Verhältnis der Längsschlitze 31 und der Walzenwandung und
der Schlitze 36 in der Abdichtwand 34 kann die Luftströmung aus dem
Längskanal 40 in die Kammern 15 und 16 variiert werden. Das Längskanal
40 ist über mehrere Anschlussstutzen 42 mit einem sich parallel zum
Längskanal 40 erstreckender Druckluftspeicher 41 verbunden.5 shows the preferred embodiment, in which the hollow
