Definitions

  • the invention relates to a felting needle.
  • suitable felting needles are from the DE 21 01 769 A1 known.
  • This document discloses both felting needles with a straight working part and with a helically wound working part.
  • the working part extends along a straight central axis and has a triangular or quadrangular cross-section. The edges of the working part are notched.
  • the nonwoven fabric to be compacted by the felt needles can consist, for example, of a plurality of layers of nonwoven fibrous web in which the fibers each have a preferred direction. If such a batt with the straight felt needles according to DE 21 01 769 A1 compacted, arise in the longitudinal and transverse direction usually different tear strengths. This is undesirable. Become from the DE 21 01 769 A1 known felting needles used with twisted working part, caused by the distortion of the working part larger stitch holes and a lower efficiency of the needling process.
  • the felting needle according to the invention has a working part with notches which divides into at least two subsections is. Both sections have edges with notches, wherein the edges are oriented at least in the region of their notches substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the working part.
  • the notches as is the case with an undiluted felting needle, oriented in the piercing direction (or even against the same), whereby they capture the largest possible amount of fiber during piercing and thus contribute effectively to the needling process.
  • the working part is twisted or twisted about the longitudinal axis. As a result, notches sitting on the same edge do not align with each other. They capture different fiber groups during penetration, which significantly increases needling efficiency.
  • the two sections are each formed straight and unbroken.
  • the added to the working part twisting or rotation is thus limited to a short twisted section. Therefore, the otherwise generally along their entire working part helically wound working parts tendency to guide fibers around the stitch hole and widen the needle hole, not to observe here. Rather, an effective in all surface directions needling and thus a fleece with high longitudinal and transverse tear strength. In particular, an approximation of the values of transverse tear resistance and longitudinal tear strength to each other is to be established.
  • the felting needle according to the invention is particularly suitable for the production of nonwoven fabric or felt from a multilayered directional pile fabric. However, it can also serve for the needling of random fiber layers which have no pronounced fiber orientation. Such fiber fabrics are often referred to as "batt".
  • each section of the working part has at least one and in the preferred embodiment exactly one notch ring.
  • each edge of the subsection of the working part is provided with exactly one notch.
  • three notches result at the partial section.
  • These notches are arranged at the same height or, as is preferred, axially offset from one another.
  • the axial offset of two notches of adjacent edges is preferably about 3 mm to 4 mm, preferably 3.18 mm.
  • the notches are preferably arranged on a helix. Other arrangements are possible.
  • the distance between the two sections, which preferably each have a notch ring, the working part and spaced by the twisted section is preferably larger. In the preferred case, it is 6 mm to 7 mm, preferably 6.36 mm.
  • the two serrated notches, i. those notches of the notched rings of the sections that come closest are preferably formed on different edges of the working part. This increases the needling efficiency and additionally equalizes the transverse and longitudinal tear strength of the produced nonwoven fabric.
  • the notched rings of the two sections may be on the same or on different helical lines.
  • the helices may have different pitches, different turns directions or even a slope, which is preferred.
  • the felt needle according to the invention is preferably twisted in its twisted portion at an angle about the longitudinal axis which is equal to 360 ° divided by the product ausder Number of sections and the number of edges of each section is.
  • a rotation of 40 ° for a felting needle with three sections and triangular cross-section results with this formula.
  • a twist angle of 45 ° results.
  • FIG. 1 is a plant for the production of needlefelt or nonwoven fabrics made of fiber fabrics illustrated.
  • To the plant include a so-called carding 1 with multiple rollers to produce a longitudinal directional layer batt 2 by appropriate processing of fiber flock 3.
  • the carding 1 parallelonnais., Mechanically cleans and refines the fibers of the fiber flakes and assigns them to a batt. This is transferred to a conveyor belt 4, which leads the batt to a crossbeam or cross-stacker 5.
  • the transverse layer 5 produces a stack 6 consisting of several layers, the individual layers being formed by directional layer batt. The superimposed layers have different orientations.
  • the stack 6 is fed to a needle felting machine 7, which contains a needle board 8 with felting needles 9. These are, as indicated by arrows 10, moved synchronously up and down and thus pierce repeatedly through the stack to solidify it into a felt or nonwoven fabric.
  • the peculiarity of this plant lies in the training of the felting needles 9.
  • the felting needle 9 has a fastening section, not shown further above, from which, for example, a cylindrical shaft 11 extends away.
  • the shaft 11 merges into a working part 12, which is arranged straight and concentric with a longitudinal axis 14 passing through its tip 13.
  • the shaft 11 is arranged concentrically to the longitudinal axis 14.
  • the section 15 consists of at least two sections 15, 16, which adjoin one another via a twisted region 17 (twisting area). While the tip 13 is formed on the section 16, the section 15 adjoins the shaft 11, preferably having a smaller cross-section than the latter.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the sections 15, 16 and the intermediate region 17 in perspective.
  • both sections 15, 16 have matching and in the exemplary embodiment triangular cross sections.
  • the cross sections may also be deviated, for example in the form of bi-, quadrilateral or polygonal cross sections, star cross sections and so on.
  • the working part 12 has in the embodiment according to FIG. 3 three continuous edges 18, 19, 20.
  • the edge 18 extends as an edge 18a through the section 15, as an edge 18b through the area 17 and as an edge 18c over the section 16.
  • the edges 19 and 20 extend as edges 19a to 19c and 20a to 20c over the length of Working parts 12.
  • the edges 18a, 19a, 20a are preferably straight and arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis 14.
  • the edges 18 c, 19 c, 20 c are preferably formed straight and arranged parallel to the central axis 14.
  • the edges 18b, 19b, 20b each follow helices, in this case a left-hand screw. To illustrate the resulting twist is on FIG. 5 Referenced. On the representation of the twisting area was in FIG.
  • edges 18a, 18c, 19a, 19c, 20a, 20c are arranged in pairs offset from each other.
  • the twist angle is calculated as the quotient of 360 ° and the product of the number of sections 15, 16 (which is two here) and the number of edges 18, 19, 20 (which is three here). The twist angle is thus 60 °.
  • the edges 18c, 19c, 20c are exactly centered between the distances of the edges 18a and 19a, 18a and 20a and 19a, 20a.
  • At the portion 16 of the working part 12 at least one notch ring with three notches 21, 22, 23 is provided.
  • at least one notch ring with three notches 24, 25, 26 is provided on the section 15.
  • the notches are preferably in the piercing direction, ie oriented towards the tip 13. Alternatively or additionally, notches oriented in the opposite direction may be provided, which however are not shown.
  • the notches 21 to 26 are located on edges 18 a, 19 a, 20 a and 18 c, 19 c, 20 c, which are oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis 14.
  • the parallelism of the edges 18a, 19a, 20a and 18c, 19c, 20c extends at least over the region comprising the notches 21 to 26.
  • the notches 21 to 26 are oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis 14.
  • the respective notches 24, 25, 26 and 21, 22, 23 are axially offset from each other so that they lie on a helix.
  • the helix has in the embodiment after FIG. 3 at the portion 15 and 16 respectively the same winding direction and slope.
  • the winding direction is opposite to the winding direction of the region 17.
  • the embodiments according to FIGS. 3 and 4 differ in this respect only by the winding direction of the set by the notches wreaths.
  • the description of the felting needle 9 applies FIG. 3 according to the embodiment according to FIG. 4 and vice versa.
  • each notch ring are preferably arranged at a distance A from one another, which is between 3 mm and 4 mm. It is preferably 3.18 mm.
  • the distance is the distance between the notch beginnings or, alternatively, any other reference point defined for the notches.
  • the notches 23, 24 of the two sections 15, 16 which are closest to one another in the longitudinal direction are arranged at a distance B, which is preferably significantly greater than the length of the area 17 and also greater than the distance A.
  • the distance B is twice as large as the distance A. It is in the preferred case 6.36 mm.
  • the Vertwistung or twisting of the working part 12 is formed in the area 17, in particular FIG. 5 reveals a felt needle with the effect of a hexagonal needle, although it is only triangular.
  • a felt needle with the effect of a hexagonal needle, although it is only triangular.
  • all notches in direction 14 more fibers are detected from several directions than is the case with a pure triangular needle. This has a positive influence on the alignment of the breaking forces of different load directions of the nonwoven fabric.
  • the stitch hole size and fiber damage is minimized. A rounding of fibers around the stitch hole around, as it can be done with rotated working parts, does not occur.
  • the felting needle 9 may have a different working part cross-section, as in FIG. 6 illustrated by a square working part cross-section.

  • the needle board pierces 8 with his felting needles 9 in quick succession the stack.
  • the felting needles 9 penetrate with their respective tips 13 through the stack, wherein first the notches 21, 22, 23 take fibers and pull down.
  • the twisted region 17 then pierces the material to which the straight section 15 connects with the notches 24, 25, 26. These are offset against the notches of the previous notch ring and thus capture other fibers, which in turn are drawn into the stitch hole for entanglement.
  • the partial section 15 first slides through the needle hole, which is then deformed during the passage of the twisted section 17, whereupon the straight section 16 slides out.
  • the fibers drawn into the stitch hole are incorporated into the other fiber body, which benefits the strength of the nonwoven.
  • the sections 15, 16 have, as FIG. 5 illustrates, preferably matching cross sections Q1, Q2 and thus also in each case the same number of edges 18a, 19a, 20a and 18c, 19c, 20c.
  • the felting needle 9 has a working part 12 with two subsections 15, 16, each of which preferably has straight edges.
  • the two sections are slightly rotated against each other.
  • Each section has at least one notch ring with axially offset from each other arranged notches.
