Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multilayer, sheet-like filter material for filter elements for the filtration of gases and / or liquids.
  • the invention also relates to a filter element made by means of such a filter material.
  • the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing such a filter material.
  • Filtration tasks exist in many areas of technology.
  • vehicle applications ie filtration tasks on or in vehicles, such as, for example, an air filter, a fuel filter, an oil filter, are of particular importance.
  • filter elements are used, each having at least one filter body.
  • the filter body is preferably made of a web-shaped filter material which is folded or pleated to form the filter body.
  • multilayer filter materials are generally known.
  • Nanofilters are also known for realizing high separation rates for small and very small impurities.
  • a flow resistance of the filter material there is the general problem that as the degree of filtration increases, so does a flow resistance of the filter material. If, for example, a particularly high degree of filtration, in particular in conjunction with a nanostructure, is desired, the result for the associated filter material is generally a very high flow resistance.
  • high flow resistances are disadvantageous since, on the one hand, they mechanically load the filter material and, on the other hand, if necessary, an appropriate required peripherals, such as increased flow rates of pumps and increased sealing measures.
  • Filter materials are known, for example, from US Pat. No. 5,993,501 A, DE 10 2007 027 199 B4, WO 2013/068436 A1 and EP 1 366 791 A1.
  • the present invention is concerned with the problem of providing an improved embodiment for a filter material or for a filter element or for a production method and for a production device, which is characterized in particular by a high degree of filtration with a comparatively low flow resistance.
  • the invention is based on the general idea of designing the filter material at least in three layers and providing it with at least one nonwoven layer, a cellulose layer and a nano-fiber layer arranged between the nonwoven layer and the cellulose layer. It is also proposed to provide the nanofiber layer in a thickness direction of the filter material with an increasing fiber thickness and / or with an increasing fiber density. It has been found that such a configuration leads to a comparatively low flow resistance being feasible given a high degree of filtration. This is explained by the fact that smaller particles are deposited only in the depth of the nanofiber layer and not already on the outside, which applies to larger impurities. In contrast to a conventional nanofiber structure, in which the fiber thickness and the fiber density in the thickness direction of the fiber material are continuous, the contaminants are thus not only deposited on the outside of the nanofiber. fiber layer but also inside it so that it adds less and less quickly.
  • the fiber thickness and / or the fiber density in the thickness direction of the filter material can increase continuously, preferably uniformly or stepped.
  • a two-stage design is conceivable.
  • more than two stages are provided or a stepless variation of the fiber thickness and / or fiber density.
  • the fiber thickness and / or the fiber density can expediently increase from the nonwoven layer to the cellulose layer. This can then also be a preferred direction of flow of the filter material.
  • the fiber thickness within the nanofiber layer can vary within a range of 100 nm to 800 nm.
  • the nanofiber layer can be formed by coating the nonwoven layer with nanofibers.
  • the nanofiber layer is formed directly on the nonwoven layer.
  • it may be provided to glue the cellulose layer onto the nanofiber layer by means of an adhesive.
  • the nanofiber layer is formed by coating the nonwoven layer with nanofibers and the cellulose layer is adhesively bonded to the nanofiber layer by means of an adhesive. As a result, all three layers are firmly connected.
  • the cellulose layer can be provided with an impregnation at least on one side facing the nanofiber layer.
  • impregnation in particular clogging of pores of the cellulose layer can be hindered or prevented.
  • the impregnation can be matched to the adhesive and prevent or at least hinder penetration of the adhesive into the cellulose layer.
  • the adhesive may be made on a water basis.
  • the impregnation can be made on a silicone basis or consist of silicone.
  • Water-based adhesive is particularly environmentally friendly and simplifies recycling of the filter material.
  • An impregnation based on silicone or silicone is characterized by a particularly high degree of hydrophobization of the cellulose layer.
  • a filter element according to the invention which is suitable for filtering gases and / or liquids, in particular in vehicle applications, comprises at least one filter body, which flows through a stream of gas and / or liquid during operation of the filter element, the respective filter body being a filter material of the having the type described above.
  • the filter material can be pleated, that is folded.
  • the filter element may be a ring filter element with an annular filter body or a plate filter element with a plate-shaped filter body.
  • Such filter elements are particularly easy to produce in large quantities, making them particularly suitable for vehicle applications.
  • An inventive method for producing a multilayer, web-shaped filter material in particular of the type described above, is characterized in that a web-shaped nonwoven layer is coated on one side with nanofibers to produce a nanofiber layer directly on the nonwoven layer. Furthermore, a web-shaped cellulose layer is bonded to this nanofiber layer. Furthermore, the nonwoven layer is coated with nanofibers such that the resulting nanofiber layer has an increasing fiber thickness and / or an increasing fiber density in a thickness direction of the filter material. As explained, this results in a reduced flow resistance at high filtration efficiency.
  • the nanofibers can be applied electrostatically to the nonwoven layer in a coating station, wherein there is a spacing between the liquid fiber material and the nonwoven layer in a fiber delivery device of the coating station.
  • the transfer of fiber material to the nonwoven layer by means of ion currents, which are generated by electrostatic voltages.
  • Such a line-shaped delivery surface can be produced, for example, by means of a roller which dips into the liquid fiber material on its underside and which forms on its upper side this linear delivery surface which faces the nonwoven layer.
  • a type of conveyor belt which has a plurality of web-shaped or rod-shaped dispensing elements in a conveying direction of the conveyor belt, wherein each individual dispensing element defines a linear or punctiform dispensing surface or dispensing zone.
  • These delivery elements are arranged one behind the other in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt and spaced apart in the conveying direction.
  • the conveyor belt dives on its underside at least in the region of the discharge elements into the liquid fiber material. At the top of the conveyor belt then the discharge elements of the nonwoven layer are facing, so that at each discharge element filter material can be delivered via the respective, linear or puktförmige discharge zone.
  • the distance between nonwoven layer and fiber material or between nonwoven layer and delivery surface in the direction of movement of the nonwoven layer increase or decrease. It has been found that the distance between the nonwoven layer and the liquid fiber material or the dispensing zone is decisive for the achievable fiber thickness or fiber density.
  • the nonwoven layer can be moved past with a slope of a horizontal and planar surface of the filter material, whereby a continuous change in the distance between the nonwoven layer and the fiber material or the respective delivery surface is feasible.

  • the nonwoven layer can also be referred to as “non-woven” or as “blow-melt”.
  • a device for producing a filter material comprises at least one fiber delivery device which has a conveyor belt with at least two rollers and a tub which can be filled with liquid fiber material, into which the conveyor belt dips at least on one underside, at least two deflection rollers for guiding a nonwoven layer above the fiber delivery device and spaced from an upper side of the conveyor belt and an ionization device for generating different electrical potentials at the nonwoven layer and at the fiber delivery device, such that during operation of the device liquid fiber material is electrostatically transported from the conveyor belt to the nonwoven layer. It has been found that such a device allows a nanofiber layer to be applied to the nonwoven layer in a particularly simple manner with reproducible parameters such as density and thickness.
  • the device can be designed such that a distance between the nonwoven layer and the respective upper side of the conveyor belt varies in the direction of movement of the nonwoven layer.

  • the dispensing elements 24 expediently extend over the entire width of the respective nonwoven layer 2 and extend transversely to a direction of movement 25 of the nonwoven layer 2.
  • the dispensing elements 24 also extend transversely to a direction of movement 26 of the conveyor belt 23.
  • the conveyor belt 23 is arranged that it dips with its underside in a trough 27, in which the liquid fiber material 21 is stored. As a result, the discharge elements 24 are immersed in the liquid fiber material 21. On its upper side, the conveyor belt 23 moves outside of the liquid fiber material 21 and faces the nonwoven layer 2.
  • the dispensing elements 24 advantageously define line-shaped dispensing zones 28, which face the nonwoven layer 2 and which are spaced apart from the nonwoven layer 2. A corresponding distance is shown in FIGS. 3 to 6 and designated 29.
  • the exhaust elements 24 may have transversely to the direction of movement 26 of the conveyor belt 23 a plurality of needle-shaped elevations (not shown), whereby punctiform discharge zones 28 can be realized.
  • the conveyor belt 23 is clamped and driven by means of at least two rollers 33.
  • the rollers 33 have the same diameter d in the example of FIG. 3, so that the mutually moving top and bottom of the conveyor belt 23 extend parallel to each other.
  • the axes of rotation of the two rollers 33 are arranged in a common plane which extends horizontally.
  • the top and the bottom of the conveyor belt 23 extend horizontally here.
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which the distance 29 between the nonwoven layer 2 and the respective discharge zone 28 decreases in the direction of movement 25 of the nonwoven layer 2, namely stepped.
  • the nonwoven layer 2 is inclined with respect to a horizontal and planar surface 31 of the liquid fiber material 21, such that said distance 29 in the direction of movement 25 of the nonwoven layer 2 increases.
  • a plurality of fiber delivery devices 22 are provided, namely three fiber delivery devices 22 purely by way of example.
  • the fiber delivery devices 22 are arranged one behind the other in the direction of movement 25 of the nonwoven layer 2 and differ from one another through different spatial heights, which sets different distances 29 relative to the nonwoven layer 2.
  • Each fiber delivery device 22 has a conveyor belt 23 of the type described with reference to Figure 3, but these conveyor belts 23 are shown in simplified form in Figure 4; In particular, the individual delivery elements 24 and their delivery zones 28 are not shown. As can be seen, the distance 29 decreases in the direction of movement 25 of the nonwoven layer 2 from one fiber delivery device 22 to the next.
  • FIGS. 2 to 6 deflect or align the nonwoven layer 2 or the cellulose layer 4 or the filter material 1. Visible are a front, first of the nonwoven layer 2 traversing pulley 32, which is shown in Figs. 3 to 6 left, and a rear, last of the nonwoven layer 2 traversed pulley 32, which is shown in Figs. 3 to 6 right , In Fig. 3, the two pulleys 32 have different heights.
  • the front deflection roller 32 is arranged lower than the rear deflection roller 32, so that the nonwoven layer 2 increases in its direction of movement 25.
  • the two deflection rollers 32 have the same height position, so that the nonwoven layer 2 extends horizontally between the deflection rollers 32.
  • Double arrows 34 in the deflection rollers 32 indicate that optionally at least one of the deflection rollers 32 can be arranged to be adjustable in terms of its vertical distance from the fiber delivery device 22.
  • the vertical distance measured perpendicular to the horizontal can be adjusted separately for both deflection rollers 32.
  • the height adjustability of at least one such deflection roller 32 can be adjusted to a slope which has the nonwoven layer 2 between the guide rollers 32 relative to a horizontal plane 36, which in Figs. 3 to 6 is indicated in each case by a dot-dash line. Due to the height adjustability of at least one of the deflection rollers 32, the distances 29 between the delivery zones 28 and the nonwoven layer 2 can also be adjusted in order to optimize the coating process.
  • Fig. 4 may optionally also be provided that at least one of the guide roller 32 is arranged vertically adjustable according to the double arrows 34. Additionally or alternatively it can be provided that at least one of the fiber delivery devices 22 is arranged vertically adjustable according to double arrows 35. In this way, the distances 29 between the delivery zones 28 and the nonwoven layer 2 can be adjusted.
  • Fig. 5 shows an embodiment analogous to FIG. 3, in which, however, the altitudes of the deflection rollers 32 are reversed. Accordingly, here the front guide roller 32 is arranged higher than the rear guide roller 32. Thus results for the nonwoven layer 2 in its direction of movement 25 a gradient. As a result, the distances 29 between the delivery zones 28 and the nonwoven layer 2 are reduced in their direction of movement 25.
  • the two pulleys 32 are set back to the same height.
  • an increase in the distances 29 between the delivery zones 28 and the nonwoven layer 2 in the direction of movement 25 is achieved in that the rollers 33 of the conveyor belt 23 have different diameters d and D.
  • the diameter D of the left-hand roll 33 is significantly larger than the diameter d of the right-hand roll 33.
  • the rolls 33 are arranged so that the underside of the conveyor belt 23 runs approximately horizontally within the fiber material 21.
  • the upper side has a gradient in the direction of movement 25 of the nonwoven layer 2.
