Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing a pet toilet sheet that allows a pet such as a dog or cat to add a habit of using it at a predetermined place in a room, and in particular, a uniform odor component is uniformly distributed over the entire surface side. The present invention relates to a method for producing pet toilet sheets for producing attached pet toilet sheets.

  With the recent pet boom, there are increasing opportunities to keep pets such as dogs and cats indoors. And when keeping pets indoors, it is necessary to make a habit of adding a habit of adding pets in a designated place (pet toilet) in order to prevent the room from becoming dirty with pet urine etc. . In order to make this profit easily, the pet's habit of adding use in a place where there is a smell is used, and the pet's toilet sheet for the pet to add use is pre-attached with a smell component, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses this.

  However, conventional toilet sheets for pets, in addition to changes in the production environment such as temperature and humidity, in the manufacturing process, the rotation speed of the roll that feeds the sheets, and the odor components at a certain concentration in a certain area of the toilet sheets for pets. It was difficult to control the sprayer used for attaching, and it was difficult to uniformly apply odorous components to the entire surface of the pet toilet sheets.

Furthermore, conventional toilet sheets for pets are manufactured in the manufacturing process because the odor component is attached only to the fabric of the top surface layer, and the odor component is a volatile component such as ammonia. Since some of the odorous components evaporate, the density of the odorous components attached to each pet toilet sheet varied.

  The present invention has been proposed in view of the above circumstances, and is intended to produce a toilet sheet for pets that has a uniform odor component on the entire surface side and has no unevenness in the density of the odor component attached to each product. It aims at providing the preparation method of the toilet sheet for pets.

  In order to achieve the above object, the method for producing a pet toilet sheet according to the present invention includes a first water-absorbing paper on one surface of a pulp sheet, and a nonwoven fabric to which an odor component is attached, The non-woven fabric is joined in this order, and the second water-absorbing paper and the waterproof sheet are joined to the other side of the pulp sheet in an appropriate size. A step of producing a pet toilet sheet by cutting into a thickness, a step of folding the pet toilet sheet, a step of accommodating the folded pet toilet sheet in a packing container, and a step of being accommodated in the packing container. The step of adding the odor component toward the pet toilet sheets and the step of sealing the packing container are characterized by the following.

  In the above-described method for producing a pet toilet sheet, it is preferable that at least one of the pulp sheet, the first water absorbent paper, and the second water absorbent paper is provided with the odor component.

  In the present invention, there is provided a step of blowing an odor component toward a pet toilet sheet that is cut into an appropriate size, folded, and accommodated in a packaging container. Even if some odorous components evaporate and the odor components attached to the nonwoven fabric become uneven, this unevenness can be corrected when packing the toilet sheets for pets, and the entire surface side (nonwoven fabric) is uneven. It is possible to produce a toilet sheet for pets that has a uniform odor component and does not vary in the density of the odor component attached to each product.

  In addition, since at least one of the pulp sheet, the first water-absorbing paper, and the second water-absorbing paper for producing toilet sheets for pets is used, in the manufacturing process, Even if some of the odor components attached to the nonwoven fabric evaporate and the odor components attached to the nonwoven fabric become uneven, the toilet sheets for pets to which odor components other than the nonwoven fabric are attached in the packaging container Non-woven fabric odor unevenness can be corrected by the odor components from the components, so there is no unevenness on the entire surface side and the odor components are evenly attached, making it possible to more reliably produce toilet sheets for pets that do not vary from product to product. can do.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, FIG. 1 is a flowchart which shows the production process of the toilet sheet for pets based on this invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the method for producing a pet toilet sheet according to the present invention has an odor component sprayed from the front surface (one surface of the pulp sheet) to the back surface (the other surface of the pulp sheet). The manufacturing process 11 of the pet toilet sheet which produces the pet toilet sheet which is laminated | stacked and joined in the order of the nonwoven fabric, the 1st water absorbing paper, the pulp sheet, the 2nd water absorbing paper, and the waterproof sheet, and the pet toilet sheet Step 6 for folding both the width direction and the length direction, Step 7 for storing the folded pet toilet sheets in the packaging container, and step for spraying the odor component toward the pet toilet sheets accommodated in the packaging container 8 and a process 9 for sealing a packing container.

  Specifically, the production process 11 of the pet toilet sheet described above is illustrated in the first process 1 in which the first water-absorbing paper is joined to one surface (front surface) of the pulp sheet, and on the other surface (back surface) of the pulp sheet. Second step 2 for joining the second water-absorbent paper, third step 3 for joining the nonwoven fabric in which the odor component is sprayed on the surface opposite to the surface on which the pulp sheet of the first water-absorbent paper is joined The fourth step 4 for joining the waterproof sheet to the surface opposite to the surface to which the pulp sheet of the second water absorbent paper is joined, from one side of the pulp sheet to the other side of the pulp sheet, the odor component The toilet bed for pets is cut to an appropriate size by laminating and joining the non-woven fabric, the first absorbent paper, the pulp sheet, the second absorbent paper, and the waterproof sheets in order. From the fifth step 5 to make the sheets That.

  And the toilet sheet for pets concerning this invention is produced as follows, for example.

  First, in the first step 1, the first water absorbent paper is joined to one surface of the pulp sheet. Subsequently, in the second step 2, the second water-absorbing paper is bonded to the other surface of the pulp sheet in which the first water-absorbing paper is bonded to one surface. And the nonwoven fabric by which the odor component is sprayed on the 1st water absorbing paper is joined by the 3rd process 3, and also a waterproof sheet is joined to the 2nd water absorbing paper by the 4th process 4. That is, by passing through the first step 1 to the fourth step 4, the nonwoven fabric, the first water absorbent paper, to which the odor component is attached from one side of the pulp sheet to the other side of the pulp sheet Then, a toilet sheet band for pets that is laminated and joined in the order of a pulp sheet, a second water absorbent paper, and a waterproof sheet will be produced. Then, in the fifth step, the pet toilet sheets are cut into an appropriate size to produce pet toilet sheets.

  Subsequently, the pet toilet sheets produced by cutting are folded in both the width direction and the length direction by the step 6 of folding the pet toilet sheets in the width direction and the length direction. Furthermore, the folded pet toilet sheets are accommodated in the packaging container by the step 7 of accommodating the folded pet toilet sheets in the packaging container. And by the process 8 which sprays an odor component toward the pet toilet sheet accommodated in the packaging container, it is the same as the odor component sprayed on the nonwoven fabric toward the pet toilet sheet accommodated in the packaging container. Spray odorous ingredients with a sprayer. Thereby, in the manufacturing process, unevenness of the odor component generated on the entire surface side of the pet toilet sheet due to partial evaporation of the odor component sprayed on the nonwoven fabric is corrected.

  Then, in step 9 of sealing the packaging container, the packaging container containing the pet toilet sheets in which the unevenness of the odor component is corrected is sealed, and the product can be shipped.

  Note that the pulp sheet, the first water-absorbing paper, the second water-absorbing paper, and the non-woven fabric are all made of a material that does not dissolve in an aqueous solution containing feces and odor components. The first water-absorbing paper and the second water-absorbing paper are of the same quality.

  Further, the waterproof sheet is made of waterproof paper or plastic, but it is desirable to use a material that is convenient for folding. In consideration of use, it is desirable that the surface of the waterproof sheet that comes into contact with the floor is subjected to anti-slip processing having a large friction coefficient. Furthermore, the packaging container in which the pet toilet sheets are accommodated may be a sealed container that does not leak odor components to the outside due to evaporation or the like, and the material, shape, and the like are not limited. As the odor component to be sprayed, a solution or powder containing a odor (bad odor) component such as butyric acid, ammonia, acetic acid or valeric acid may be employed.

  The amount of the odorous component to be sprayed is 100 when the predetermined amount of the odorous component per unit area that can be recognized by the pet but not felt by humans after taking into account the amount of evaporation in the manufacturing process. First, at least 50 or more of the predetermined amount is sprayed on the nonwoven fabric, and the remaining predetermined amount is sprayed on the pet toilet sheets contained in the packing container in Step 8 with an odor component.

  Then, according to the method for producing a toilet sheet for pets according to the present invention, even if the odor component sprayed on the nonwoven fabric partially evaporates in the manufacturing process and the odor component sprayed on the nonwoven fabric is uneven, It can be corrected when the toilet sheets are packed, and the entire surface side has no unevenness and the odor components are evenly attached, and the toilet sheets for pets can be made without any variation in the odor component density of each product. it can.

  In addition, in order to prevent evaporation of odor components, the pet sheets are folded so that the nonwoven fabric faces inward and are accommodated in the packing container. And in the process 8 which sprays an odorous component toward the pet toilet sheet accommodated in the packaging container, since the odorous component is filled in the packaging container and the odorous component soaks into the inside of the pet sheet, it is sprayed on the nonwoven fabric. Even if unevenness occurs in the odor component, the odor component at the time of packaging can be corrected.

  In the above description, the odor component is sprayed only on the nonwoven fabric, but at least one of the pulp sheet, the first water absorbent paper, and the second water absorbent paper has the same odor component as the odor component sprayed on the nonwoven fabric. May be sprayed. In this case, as described above, the amount of the odorous component to be sprayed can be recognized by the pet, but if the predetermined amount of the odorous component per unit area that is not felt by humans is 100, this predetermined amount After adopting a nonwoven fabric on which at least 50 or more are sprayed, the amount of the odor component sprayed on the nonwoven fabric and the odor component sprayed on the pulp sheet, the first water absorbent paper, the second water absorbent paper The sum of the amount and the amount of the odorous component that blows the odorous component toward the pet toilet sheets accommodated in the packing container in step 8 may satisfy the predetermined amount of 100.

  Then, in the method for producing a toilet sheet for pets according to the present invention, since at least one of the pulp sheet, the first water absorbent paper, and the second water absorbent paper is attached with an odor component, the entire surface side is provided. There is no unevenness and the odor component is evenly attached, and it is possible to more reliably produce a pet toilet sheet that does not vary in the density of the odor component attached to each product.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to said one Embodiment. The present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the scope of the claims.

  First, since the first water-absorbing paper and the second water-absorbing paper are of the same quality, the first process 1 and the second process 2 are performed according to the working environment such as equipment. Even if is replaced, the method for producing a pet toilet sheet according to the present invention can be carried out. Furthermore, since the first water-absorbing paper and the second water-absorbing paper are of the same quality, a waterproof sheet is joined to the surface opposite to the surface to which the pulp sheet of the first water-absorbing paper is joined. Even if a nonwoven fabric with an odor component attached to the surface opposite to the surface to which the pulp sheet of the absorbent paper is bonded is used for pets equivalent to that by the method for producing a pet toilet sheet according to the present invention Toilet sheets can be made.

  That is, the first water-absorbing paper (second water-absorbing paper) and non-woven fabric are joined to one side of the pulp sheet in this order, and the second water-absorbing paper (first water-absorbing paper) is waterproofed to the other side of the pulp sheet. If the sheets are joined in the order of the sheets, the joining order (process) of the first water-absorbing paper, the second water-absorbing paper, the nonwoven fabric, and the waterproof sheets may be changed. The toilet sheets for pets produced in this way have a uniform odor component on the entire surface side and are uniform, and there is no variation in the density of the odor component attached to each product. Even in this case, at least one of the pulp sheet, the first water absorbent paper, and the second water absorbent paper may be provided with an odor component.

  In addition, the first water absorbent paper, the second water absorbent paper, and the non-woven fabric to which the odor component is applied in the pet toilet sheet manufacturing step 11 are used to give the pet toilet sheet a desired thickness. Two or more of these may be employed. Then, in the pet toilet sheet preparation step 11, a pet toilet sheet band laminated and bonded with five or more layers including a nonwoven fabric, a first water absorbent paper, a pulp sheet, a second water absorbent paper, and a waterproof sheet is produced. be able to. Since the pulp sheet is obtained by pulverizing and solidifying pulp, the thickness of the pulp sheet can be adjusted as appropriate.

  If it does so, the pet toilet sheet which respond | corresponds to each manure amount which changes with the kind and body shape of pets, such as a dog and a cat, can be produced. And the whole surface side of this toilet sheet for pets has a uniform odor component without unevenness, and there is no variation in the density of the odor component attached to each product.
