Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing an artificial lawn having a packed bed filled with granular materials between turf leaves planted on a substrate.

  As the structure of the artificial lawn, turf leaves are planted at intervals on a base material, and a plurality of turf leaves are generally planted at one planted part. Various inventions have been disclosed for the method of manufacturing such an artificial lawn.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, in an artificial turf formed by tufting a synthetic fiber pile yarn at a predetermined interval on a base fabric, a synthetic fiber pile yarn component has a large number of synthetic fiber monofilament bundles, and this is along the length direction. Synthetic fiber multifilament wrap yarns wound at 10 to 200 times / m, and the monofilament has a zigzag-shaped angular heat setting crimp that continuously repeats in the length direction of the fiber. A dense artificial turf having a 40% density at least on the back surface of the wrap crimp yarn is disclosed on the surface of the turf characterized in that the unit length of the crimp which is the angle of 1 to 10 mm.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-200466

  Since the artificial lawn described in Patent Document 1 uses pile yarn in which a large number of monofilaments are surrounded by wrapping yarn, it is possible to plant a large number of monofilaments at once by tufting the pile yarn on a base fabric. It is possible. However, since the wrap yarn constituting the above-mentioned pile yarn needs to have a function of winding and binding the monofilament bundle, the function as a grass leaf of the artificial grass is secondary, and the artificial grass There was a problem that waste was large as a constituent member. Moreover, when manufacturing pile yarn, the process which bundles a monofilament and winds a wrap yarn was needed, and there also existed a problem that there were many troubles.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a method for producing an artificial lawn capable of efficiently planting a plurality of turf leaves on a base material without using unnecessary members and processes.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows.
That is, the method for manufacturing an artificial lawn according to the present invention is formed by filling a base material, a plurality of turf leaves planted on the base material, and a granular material between the planted parts of the turf leaves. A method for producing an artificial lawn having a packed bed, which has a hollow part inside a peripheral wall part, and the peripheral wall part is composed of a plurality of turf leaves and a thin part connecting the plurality of turf leaves to each other. Turf is planted on the base material by brushing force after planting the turf yarn on the base material, laying the base material at the installation location and spraying the granular material constituting the packed bed. The thin-walled portion of the yarn is ruptured so that the cylindrical turf yarn is separated into a plurality of turf leaves and a granular material is filled between the turf leaves.

  According to the method for manufacturing an artificial lawn according to the present invention, after the cylindrical wall lawn composed of a plurality of turf leaves and a thin part connecting the lawn leaves is planted on the base material, the thin part of the peripheral wall part is Since it is torn and separated into a plurality of turf leaves, a plurality of turf leaves can be efficiently formed on an artificial lawn by planting once. In addition, since the turf yarn is cylindrical, if an external force is applied to the turf yarn before planting to the base material or during planting work, the stress is less likely to concentrate on a part of the thin wall portion of the peripheral wall portion. In order to cope with the stress as a whole, the turf yarn is not easily torn in situations where the turf yarn is not intended to be lined up before planting or during planting, and the planting operation is easy to perform.

  Moreover, since wrapping yarn for bundling turf yarn is not used, an unnecessary member is not provided on the artificial grass, which is preferable.

  In addition, the thin portion of the turf yarn is broken by brushing and separated into a plurality of turf leaves, and at the same time, the granular material for forming a filling layer between the turf leaves is filled. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform a separate process for the purpose, and manufacturing efficiency is preferable.

  According to the artificial lawn turf yarn and the manufacturing method according to the present invention, a plurality of turf yarns can be efficiently formed on the artificial lawn without using unnecessary members.

An embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of an artificial lawn according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an end portion showing an embodiment of the lawn yarn used for manufacturing the artificial lawn according to the present invention. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the state of installation of the artificial lawn according to the present invention, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the state of the turf yarn before and after the thin-walled portion is torn, and FIG. It is sectional drawing which shows embodiment.

  In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a base layer on which an artificial lawn is laid. In this embodiment, the base layer 1 is formed by placing water-permeable asphalt concrete on the ground. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The base layer 1 may be the ground itself, and may be non-water-permeable asphalt concrete on the ground. It may be formed by, for example, driving.

  2 is a base material of the artificial lawn. The base material 2 may be anything such as woven fabric, knitted fabric, non-woven fabric and the like on which lawn leaves are planted, and is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include a plain woven fabric made of polypropylene.

  Reference numeral 3 denotes turf leaves planted on the substrate 2. First, a method for forming the grass 3 will be described. That is, FIG. 2 shows an end portion of the turf yarn 31 before being planted on the base material 2, and the turf yarn 31 has a cylindrical shape having a peripheral wall portion 32 and a hollow portion 33. The peripheral wall portion 32 is formed with a plurality of turf leaves 3 and a thin portion 34 that is thinner than the turf leaves 3 so as to connect the turf leaves 3 to each other. As a method for forming the cylindrical turf yarn 31 as described above, it can be suitably formed by extrusion molding. If the turf yarn 31 is formed by extrusion, a process such as wrapping a wrap yarn for bundling a plurality of turf yarns becomes unnecessary, and an artificial grass can be efficiently manufactured. Moreover, physical modification | reformation of resin of turf yarn 31 can be performed by extending | stretching after extrusion molding. The material of the turf yarn 31 is polyethylene in the present embodiment, but the material is not limited to this, and synthetic resins such as polypropylene, polyester, and polyamide can be suitably used.

  The turf yarn 31 formed as described above is planted on the substrate 2. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the turf yarn 31 driven into the substrate 2 is cut into the length of the turf leaf 3 and planted in a cut pile shape. After planting the turf yarn 31, a backing material (not shown) is applied to the back surface of the substrate 2 to fix the turf yarn 31.

  As shown in FIG. 3 (a), the base material 2 on which the turf yarn 31 has been planted and fixed is placed on the base layer 1, and the granular material 41 is sprayed thereon. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3B, brushing is performed from above the base material 2 with the brush body 5. When the turf yarn 31 receives a force from the brush 5, the thin portion 34 of the turf yarn 31 is torn and split into a plurality of turf leaves 3. In addition, the turf yarn 31 is split into the turf leaves 3 by brushing with the brush body 5, and the granular material 41 sprayed on the substrate 2 is agitated. If the granular material 41 is only sprayed from above the base material 2, the granular material 41 does not sufficiently enter the turf yarn 31, and many voids 42 are generated in the packed layer 4. By stirring the granular material 41 on the base material 2 by brushing, the granular material 41 enters the gaps between the broken turf leaves 3 and is filled so that the voids 42 disappear. FIG. 4 (a) is a cross-sectional view of the turf yarn 31 before the thin-walled portion 34 is torn. By receiving the force from the brush body 5, the thin-walled portion 34 is torn as shown in FIG. 4 (b). The peripheral wall portion 32 is separated into a plurality of turf leaves 3.

  The granular material 41 constituting the packed bed 4 can be selected from various materials according to the place where the artificial lawn is laid and its use, or can be used in combination. As an example, natural or synthetic rubber chips, foamed or non-foamed synthetic resin granules, cork chips, bark chips, pulverized tires, and the like can be used as appropriate as elastic granules. Moreover, sand, such as river sand and mountain sand, inorganic sand, such as sand, calcium carbonate, and glass, and artificial sand and soil can be appropriately used as the hard granular material.

  As the brush body 5 used for brushing, a rotating brush can be suitably used as shown in FIG. 3 (b) in order to efficiently cut off the thin portion 34 of the turf yarn 31 and fill the granular material 41. The brushing may be performed so as to reciprocate in the horizontal direction using a deck brush or the like. Further, the spraying and brushing of the granular material 41 may be performed only once, or may be performed in multiple times. Further, by brushing after spraying the granular material 41, it is possible to fill the granular material 41 at the same time as the thin portion 34 of the turf yarn 31 is lined up. 34 may be performed by brushing before spraying the granular material 41, or by a method other than brushing.

  FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of a cross section of the turf yarn 31. Since the thin wall portion 34 formed on the peripheral wall portion 32 of the turf yarn 31 is torn, the peripheral wall portion 32 between the thin wall portions 34 becomes the turf leaf 3, so that the turf yarn 31 is formed according to the design of the turf leaf 3 to be formed. The cross-sectional shape can be determined. As an example, the turf leaf 3 and the thin portion 34 may be coupled in the width direction of the turf leaf 3 so that the peripheral wall portion is circular as shown in FIG. 4 (a), and FIG. 5 (a) (b). As shown in FIG. 3, the turf leaf 3 and the thin wall portion 34 may be connected in the width direction of the turf leaf 3 so that the peripheral wall portion is elliptical or rectangular, and the peripheral wall portion 32 is formed in other shapes. May be. Moreover, you may connect with the thin part 34 in the thickness direction of the turf leaf 3 as shown to FIG. Further, as shown in the figure, the peripheral wall portion 32 may be formed so that the turf leaf 3 has an elliptical shape. As shown in FIGS. The peripheral wall portion 32 may be formed as shown in FIG. 5, and the peripheral wall portion 32 may be formed so that the turf leaf 3 has a combination of several types of cross sections as shown in FIG.

  By making the cross section of the turf yarn 31 into a cylindrical shape, even when an external force is applied before planting the base material 2 or during planting work, the stress is less likely to concentrate on some of the thin portions 34, It is preferable that tearing in an unintended situation hardly occurs.
