Abstract
Description
本発明はバックアップロールの外周面上に支持された基材の表面に塗工液を均一に且つ薄膜を塗工形成するためのナイフコーティング装置に関するものである。The present invention relates to a knife coating apparatus for uniformly forming a coating liquid on a surface of a base material supported on an outer peripheral surface of a backup roll and forming a thin film.
従来のこの種のナイフコーティング装置はバックアップロールを鋼材等の剛体で形成され、バックアップロールを高精度に研磨仕上げし、搬送される基材の裏面を支持し、ナイフ先端との間隔の基準としておりました。また、これらの剛体バックアップロールにては、いかに高精度に研磨しても1μm前後の外周面の振れが発生し、且つ、ロールを支持するベアリングにおいても数μmの振れが発生いたしておりました。このために従来のこれらナイフコーティング装置では、ナイフ先端と基材の間隔を1μm以下にする事は困難でした。In this type of conventional knife coating equipment, the backup roll is made of a rigid body such as steel, the backup roll is polished with high precision, the back surface of the substrate to be conveyed is supported, and the distance from the knife tip is used as a reference. It was. In addition, these rigid back-up rolls have run out of the outer peripheral surface of about 1 μm regardless of how accurately they are polished, and the bearing that supports the roll has also experienced several μm of runout. . For this reason, with these conventional knife coating apparatuses, it was difficult to set the distance between the knife tip and the substrate to 1 μm or less.
このように、従来のバックアップロールを用いたナイフコーティング装置においては主にバックアップロールの振れに限界が発生するため、ナイフ先端と基材表面の間隔を微小にする事ができず、結果として最小塗工厚みは3μm以上となり、1μm程度の薄膜塗工をする事は出来ないという問題点があった。As described above, in a conventional knife coating apparatus using a backup roll, a limit is mainly imposed on the swing of the backup roll. Therefore, the distance between the knife tip and the substrate surface cannot be made minute, and as a result, the minimum coating is performed. The work thickness was 3 μm or more, and there was a problem that thin film coating of about 1 μm could not be performed.
本発明は外周面上にて基材を搬送するための基材との接触面が弾性体で構成されたバックアップロールと、基材搬送路上の基材の横断方向に沿って液供給部分を形成し、その液供給部分が液の入口から出口方向に向かって液溜め容積を減少させるよう、くさび形状をし、且つ、該バックアップロールとナイフ液出口先端部の間隔が増加、また、表面が弾性体であるバックアップロールに対してマイナス間隔に調節し、塗工基材を介して弾性体バックアップロールを加圧調節することが出来る塗工ナイフを設けたことを特徴としている。The present invention forms a liquid supply part along the transverse direction of the base material on the back-up roll in which the contact surface with the base material for transporting the base material on the outer peripheral surface is made of an elastic body, and the base material transport path In addition, the liquid supply portion has a wedge shape so that the volume of the liquid reservoir decreases from the liquid inlet toward the outlet, and the interval between the backup roll and the knife liquid outlet tip increases, and the surface is elastic. It is characterized in that there is provided a coating knife that can be adjusted to a minus interval with respect to the backup roll as a body and can pressurize and adjust the elastic backup roll via a coating substrate.
このようにバックアップローラーの表面、基材接触部分に弾性体を用いて、くさび形状の液溜りを持つナイフを用いる事により、バックアップローラーの微小な振れに影響される事なくナイフ先端と弾性体バックアップロールに支持された基材表面との間隔を減少させることが出来る。By using an elastic body on the surface of the backup roller and the base material contact area and using a knife with a wedge-shaped liquid reservoir, the tip of the knife and the elastic body can be backed up without being affected by minute vibrations of the backup roller. The distance from the substrate surface supported by the roll can be reduced.
具体的には、ナイフのくさび形状の液溜りとバックアップロールとで形成される液溜り部分に外部より加圧された塗工液を供給し、バックアップロールを回転させ、バックアップロールに支持された基材を搬送させておきながら、ナイフ先端を移動してバックアップロールに支持された基材を介して基材表面とナイフ先端との間隔を密着させ、ナイフに装備された加圧装置を用いて加圧する事によりその間隔をマイナスさせる。Specifically, the coating liquid pressurized from the outside is supplied to the liquid reservoir formed by the wedge-shaped liquid reservoir of the knife and the backup roll, the backup roll is rotated, and the base supported by the backup roll is supplied. While the material is being conveyed, the tip of the knife is moved so that the space between the surface of the substrate and the tip of the knife is brought into close contact via the substrate supported by the backup roll, and the pressure is applied using a pressurizing device equipped on the knife. The interval is made negative by pressing.
バックアップロールはその弾性の作用でナイフ先端の加圧力と均衡が取れた状態まで弾性変形し、結果的にナイフ先端と基材表面は密着した状態となるが、ナイフ液溜りからナイフ先端部へ向かい徐々に容積が減少するくさび形状のナイフの液溜りから加圧供給される塗工液の圧力により微小な塗工液膜がナイフ先端と基材表面の間に形成される。この膜厚みは加圧供給される塗工液の圧力、及び、ナイフ先端をバックアップロール方向に加圧する加圧力、及び、バックアップロールの弾性係数により変化し、それぞれある一定値のときはその状態は一定した関係になる。これにより、従来の方法では不可能であった塗工膜厚1μm前後のナイフコーティングによる薄膜塗工が可能となった。The backup roll is elastically deformed to the state where the pressure applied to the knife tip is balanced by the elastic action, and as a result, the knife tip and the substrate surface are in close contact with each other, but from the knife liquid reservoir to the knife tip. A minute coating liquid film is formed between the tip of the knife and the substrate surface by the pressure of the coating liquid supplied under pressure from a wedge-shaped knife liquid reservoir whose volume gradually decreases. This film thickness varies depending on the pressure of the coating liquid supplied under pressure, the pressure applied to press the knife tip in the direction of the backup roll, and the elastic coefficient of the backup roll. It becomes a constant relationship. As a result, thin film coating by knife coating with a coating film thickness of about 1 μm, which was impossible with the conventional method, became possible.
膜厚の調整は、バックアップロールの弾性係数を変化させる事は困難であるため、ある一定の値として、具体的にはナイフの加圧力の調整及び塗工液の供給圧力の調整にて行うことが出来る。Since it is difficult to change the elastic modulus of the backup roll, it is necessary to adjust the film thickness as a certain value, specifically by adjusting the knife pressure and the coating liquid supply pressure. I can do it.
図1は本発明のナイフコーティング装置における実施の形態の一例を示したものである。本実施例においてはナイフの加圧装置にレバー式の加圧装置を用いている。これは直動式の加圧装置に比してナイフ先端の加圧力の調整が微細に出来る事と、ナイフ先端に加わる予期せぬ力が加わった場合等にナイフ先端がレバー比の効果で直動式に比して移動が容易であることから用いているが、ナイフの加圧方式はレバー式に限定されるものではない。FIG. 1 shows an example of an embodiment of the knife coating apparatus of the present invention. In this embodiment, a lever-type pressurizing device is used as the knife pressurizing device. This is because the knife tip can be finely adjusted compared to a direct-acting pressure device, and when the unexpected force applied to the knife tip is applied, the knife tip can be directly adjusted by the effect of the lever ratio. Although it is used because it is easier to move than the dynamic type, the pressure method of the knife is not limited to the lever type.
従来の方式によるバックアップロール方式のナイフコーティング装置による、薄膜塗工の実施例では粘度3000mPa・sの塗工液を用いてφ120の鋼製バックアップロールによるテスト結果は最小薄膜の限界は3μmであった。本テストのバックアップロールの振れは1μm以下であったにもかかわらず、3μm以下の薄膜塗工は困難であった。しかし、本発明の弾性体バックアップロールを用いた塗工テストにおいては同粘度液を使用しバックアップロール径φ120におけるテストでは1μmまでの薄膜塗工が可能であった。In an example of thin film coating using a conventional backup roll type knife coating apparatus, the test result with a steel backup roll of φ120 using a coating liquid with a viscosity of 3000 mPa · s was that the limit of the minimum thin film was 3 μm. . Although the run-out of the backup roll in this test was 1 μm or less, it was difficult to apply a thin film of 3 μm or less. However, in the coating test using the elastic body backup roll of the present invention, the same viscosity liquid was used, and in the backup roll diameter φ120 test, thin film coating up to 1 μm was possible.
実施例において記述した通り、剛性のあるバックアップロールを用いてのナイフコーティングは塗工液の粘度の影響、特に数百mPa・sから数千mPa・sになった場合、薄膜塗工は3から5μmが機構的にも限界であった。しかし、本発明によるナイフコーティング装置においては3000mPa・sの比較的高粘度の塗工液にて従来の薄膜塗工の限界を超えて1μmの塗工が実現できる。As described in the examples, knife coating using a rigid backup roll is affected by the viscosity of the coating solution, particularly when the film coating is from several hundred mPa · s to several thousand mPa · s. 5 μm was the mechanical limit. However, in the knife coating apparatus according to the present invention, a coating of 1 μm can be realized with a coating liquid having a relatively high viscosity of 3000 mPa · s, exceeding the limit of conventional thin film coating.
