Description

  The present invention relates to a method for applying a high viscosity material.

  Conventionally, a high-viscosity material layer is sometimes formed by applying a high-viscosity material to a vehicle body such as an automobile in order to obtain soundproofing and vibration-proofing effects. For example, a high viscosity material layer is formed on the surface (surface to be coated) of the floor panel, and then a floor mat or the like is placed thereon.

  A high-viscosity material layer is formed over a wide range of surfaces by moving the nozzle to which the high-viscosity material is supplied by a robot or the like and applying the high-viscosity material in a belt-like manner.

  In Patent Document 1, a high-viscosity material is applied to a uniform thickness using a parallel nozzle having a nozzle passage having a constant gap width extending from the nozzle inlet to the outlet (ejection section) and having a constant gap width. Is disclosed.

JP 2005-262011 A

  In order to obtain good soundproofing and vibrationproofing effects, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the high viscosity material layer. However, even if the nozzle described in Patent Document 1 is used, a uniform high-viscosity material layer having a sufficient thickness cannot be obtained. When the thickness of the high-viscosity material layer is not uniform, only the soundproofing and vibration-proofing effects that can be obtained by the high-viscosity material layer of the minimum thickness portion can be obtained. Therefore, there is a problem that the cost becomes high because the excessively thick portion covers a wide range and consumes an extra high viscosity material.

  In addition, if there is a gap between adjacent high-viscosity material layers, the soundproofing and vibration-proofing effects are significantly reduced, so the ends of the high-viscosity material layers are overlapped. However, there is a problem that the swell due to the superposition interferes with surrounding members such as a floor mat placed on the high viscosity material layer, and adversely affects the assembling property.

  An object of this invention is to provide the coating method of the high-viscosity material which can form the high-viscosity material layer of uniform thickness in view of the above point. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for applying a high-viscosity material that can eliminate the swell of adjacent overlapping portions.

  The application method of the high-viscosity material of the present invention is a high-viscosity material application method in which a high-viscosity material is applied to a surface to be applied, and the first high-viscosity material is applied by applying the high-viscosity material to the surface to be applied. Forming a layer; applying the high viscosity material on the first high viscosity material layer to form a second high viscosity material layer; and forming the layer on the first high viscosity material layer. And a step of forming a laminated high viscosity material layer formed by laminating a second high viscosity material layer.

  According to the coating method of the high-viscosity material of the present invention, the laminated high-viscosity material layer is formed with two high-viscosity material layers, so that the thickness can be made thick and uniform. When the high-viscosity material layer exceeds a certain thickness, it becomes difficult to form a uniform thickness by coating. Therefore, when a layer made of a uniform high-viscosity material having such a thickness is required, a first high-viscosity material layer having a thickness that can be formed to a uniform thickness by coating is formed. After that, by forming the second high-viscosity material layer thereon, a laminated high-viscosity material layer having a uniform thickness as a whole can be formed.

  Moreover, in the coating method of the high-viscosity material of the present invention, the step of forming the first high-viscosity material layer and the step of forming the second high-viscosity material layer are performed with time overlap. preferable.

  In this case, the entire process time is shortened compared with the case where the process of forming the second high-viscosity material layer is started after all the first high-viscosity material layers are formed.

  Further, in the high viscosity material coating method of the present invention, after the laminated high viscosity material layer is formed, another laminated high viscosity material layer is formed so that the end overlaps the end of the laminated high viscosity material layer. It is preferable that the shape of the overlapped end portions is point-symmetric.

  In this case, since the shape of the overlapping end portion of the laminated high-viscosity material layer is point-symmetric, the overlapping portion does not rise. Therefore, interference with surrounding parts does not occur, and the assembling property is not adversely affected.

  In addition, since the shape of the overlapping end of the laminated high-viscosity material layer is point-symmetric, when the laminated high-viscosity material layer is formed in three or more rows, if the laminated high-viscosity material layer is sequentially formed adjacent to each other, The end shape of the laminated high-viscosity material layer does not exist below the end of the high-viscosity material layer, and the end shape is deformed.

  Therefore, in this case, after forming the laminated high-viscosity material layer, separate from the laminated high-viscosity material layer to form another laminated high-viscosity material layer, and then facing the two laminated high-viscosity material layers It is preferable to form another laminated high-viscosity material layer so that the end portions overlap with the end portions.

  Moreover, in the coating method of the high viscosity material of this invention, it is preferable that the coating direction at the time of forming the two said laminated high viscosity material layers which have an edge part which overlaps is an opposite direction.

  In this case, since it is not necessary to move from the application end position where the formation of the laminated high-viscosity material layer is completed to the application start position to form the next laminated high-viscosity material layer, the process time is shortened. The

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

  The high-viscosity material used in the present embodiment is a liquid melt sheet mainly composed of an acrylic emulsion-based component, which is liquid at a predetermined temperature, for example, 28 ° C. or higher, and is rapidly cured when the temperature is lower than 28 ° C.

  Even if a high viscosity material layer of several millimeters is further formed on a high viscosity material layer of several millimeters that has been cooled and hardened, the shape of the high viscosity material layer, in particular, the end shape is substantially It is strong enough not to deform. Such a high-viscosity material layer may have a viscosity of 0.8 Pa · s or more.

  An object to be coated with a high-viscosity material is, for example, a sheet metal panel component such as a floor panel of a vehicle body such as an automobile, and is formed from a steel plate such as an SPC steel plate or a galvanized steel plate. However, the object to be coated in the present invention is not limited to sheet metal panel parts, and the material thereof is not limited. And the to-be-coated surface which is the surface of the to-be-coated object may have a concavo-convex shape or an inclination unless there is a particularly large step or hole.

  Hereinafter, a high-viscosity material coating apparatus 100 suitable for use in performing the high-viscosity material coating method according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a coating apparatus 100 includes a coating gun 10, a nozzle 20 attached to the tip of the coating gun 10, a hose 30 connected to the tip of the nozzle 20, and a coating gun 10 attached to the tip of the hand. Articulated robot 40, tank 50 for storing high-viscosity material, pump 60 for sucking high-viscosity material stored in tank 50 from the rear end of hose 30 and pumping the inside of hose 30; valve provided in the middle of hose 30 70, a flow meter 80 for detecting the flow rate of the high-viscosity material pumped through the hose 30, and a control unit 90 are provided.

  The nozzle 20 is a heat nozzle capable of heating a high viscosity material to a constant temperature, and the hose 30 is also a heat hose capable of heating a high viscosity material to a constant temperature. By setting the high-viscosity material to a constant temperature, the viscosity of the high-viscosity material becomes constant without being affected by the outside air temperature, and the viscosity of the high-viscosity material becomes low and the load on the pump 60 can be reduced.

  The high-viscosity material which is heated in the nozzle 20 and is in a liquid state is discharged from the nozzle 20 and comes into contact with the outside air.

  The control unit 90 includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an I / O, and the like, and the flow meter 80 is configured so that predetermined application is performed by executing a teaching program taught in advance. The robot 40, the pump 60 and the valve 70 are controlled according to the detected flow rate.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the nozzle 20 has a plurality of nozzles 20 spaced apart in the application direction (vertical direction in the drawing), here two discharge openings 21 formed of continuous openings 21A and 21B formed on the lower surface. The shape in which the shapes of the openings 21A and 21B are stacked in the application direction is asymmetric in the application direction and symmetric in the direction orthogonal to the application direction (left and right direction in the drawing).

  Specifically, each of the openings 21A and 21B has a shape in which bases of isosceles triangles having the same shape are connected in a direction orthogonal to the application direction, and are arranged in parallel. The top part of the isosceles triangle of one opening (for example, 21A) and the connecting part of the bottom part of the isosceles triangle of the other opening (for example, 21B) are arranged in a straight line in the coating direction. Thereby, the shape which accumulated the shape of opening 21A, 21B in the application direction is a substantially trapezoid shape, and is asymmetric in the application direction and symmetrical in the direction orthogonal to the application direction.

  As shown in FIG. 2B, the nozzle 20 includes an introduction port 22 to which the tip of the hose 30 is connected, and a radial introduction passage 23 that connects the discharge unit 21 and the introduction port 22. Thereby, the cross-sectional shape of the high-viscosity material layer that is ejected from the openings 21A and 21B and formed so as to be stuck on the surface to be coated S follows the shape of the openings 21A and 21B.

  Since the openings 21A and 21B are separated from each other in the application direction, as shown in FIG. 3A, the high-viscosity material simultaneously discharged from the openings 21A and 21B flows away in the application direction (arrow direction in the figure). Then, it is applied onto the surface S to be applied.

  When coating is performed with the opening 21A positioned on the traveling side in the coating direction and the opening 21B positioned on the rear side in the coating direction, the coating is formed by discharging from the opening 21B on the high-viscosity material layer 24A formed by discharging from the opening 21A. The high-viscosity material layer 24B thus formed is laminated. As shown in FIG. 3B, the cross-sectional shape of the laminated high-viscosity material layer P formed by laminating these two high-viscosity material layers 24A and 24B is obtained by stacking the shapes of the openings 21A and 21B in the application direction. It has the same trapezoidal shape as the shape, and is asymmetric in the application direction and symmetric in the direction orthogonal to the application direction.

  The spacing between the openings 21A and 21B, the temperature and shear rate of the high-viscosity material when ejected from the nozzle 20, the moving speed of the nozzle 20, and the like are as follows. It can be determined appropriately in consideration of the distance from the nozzle 20 to the coated surface S, the outside air temperature, work efficiency, etc. so that the end shape of the lower high-viscosity material layer 24A does not deform.

  As an example, the height of the triangular shape of the openings 21A and 21B is about 0.3 mm to several mm, the interval between the openings 21A and 21B is about several mm, and the temperature of the high-viscosity material when discharged from the nozzle 20 is 28 ° C. The shear rate of the high-viscosity material when discharged from the nozzle 20 is 10000 / second to 20000 / second, and the moving speed of the nozzle 20 is 200 mm / minute to 1500 mm / minute.

  The coating apparatus 100 configured as described above discharges a heated high-viscosity material from the discharge unit 21 while moving relative to the application surface S. The discharged high-viscosity material flows down to reach the application surface S, is cooled and hardened, and forms a belt-like laminated high-viscosity material layer P.

  Hereinafter, the coating method of the high-viscosity material according to the first embodiment of the present invention using the coating apparatus 100 will be described. Hereinafter, the operation control of the coating apparatus 100 is performed according to a control command of the control unit 90.

  First, the first application process is performed by operating the pump 60 and moving the nozzle 20 linearly in the application direction by operating the robot 40 while discharging the high viscosity material from the discharge unit 21 of the nozzle 20. . As a result, as shown in FIG. 4A, the two high-viscosity material layers 24A and 24B are laminated, and the first laminated high-viscosity material layer P1 having a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape is formed in a strip shape. It is formed.

  Next, the robot 40 is operated to move the nozzle 20 from the application start position in the first application process to a position separated by a preset distance in a direction orthogonal to the application direction. Thereafter, the pump 60 is operated to discharge the high-viscosity material from the discharge portion 21 of the nozzle 20, and the robot 40 is operated to move the nozzle 20 linearly in the same direction as the application direction of the first application step. Thus, the second coating process is performed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4B, the two high-viscosity material layers 24A and 24B are laminated, and the second laminated high-viscosity material layer P2 having a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape is 1 is formed in a strip shape apart from the laminated high-viscosity material layer P1.

  Next, the robot 40 is operated to move the nozzle 20 to an intermediate position between the first application process and the second application process at the end of application. Thereafter, the pump 60 is operated to discharge the high-viscosity material from the discharge portion 21 of the nozzle 20, and the robot 40 is operated to linearly move the nozzle 20 in the direction opposite to the application direction in the first and second application steps. A third coating step is performed by moving the third coating step. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4C, the two high-viscosity material layers 24A and 24B are laminated, and the third laminated high-viscosity material layer P3 having a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape is The first and second laminated high-viscosity material layers P1 and P2 are formed in a band shape in contact with the end portions. The three belt-like laminated high-viscosity material layers P1 to P3 are positioned in parallel with their end portions overlapping each other.

  Unlike the first and second laminated high-viscosity material layers P1 and P2, the third laminated high-viscosity material layer P3 has a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape in which the shorter side is the bottom. ing. This is because the application direction in the third application step is opposite to the application direction in the first and second application directions, and thus the high-viscosity material formed of the high-viscosity material discharged from the opening 21B. This is because the high-viscosity material layer 24A formed of the high-viscosity material discharged from the opening 21A is laminated on the layer 24B.

  It is most preferable that both end portions of the third laminated high-viscosity material layer P3 overlap so as to be fitted to the end portions of the first and second laminated high-viscosity material layers P1 and P2, respectively. As a result, the first to third laminated high-viscosity material layers P1 to P3 have a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape as a whole, and have a uniform thickness over a wide range except for a small area at both ends. .

  Even if both end portions of the third laminated high-viscosity material layer P3 are not fitted into the end portions of the first and second laminated high-viscosity material layers P1 and P2 due to errors, Since the end portions of the viscous materials P1, P2, and P3 are inclined, even if these end portions overlap each other, the swell does not occur so much. Accordingly, interference with peripheral members such as a floor mat placed on the three laminated high-viscosity material layers P1 to P3 in parallel is prevented, and the assembling property is not adversely affected.

  In the third coating step, the coating may be applied in the same direction as the coating direction of the first and second coating steps by changing the direction of the discharge port 21 of the nozzle 20 to be changed. However, in this case, it is not preferable in view of time and effort for recombination.

  When only the two laminated high-viscosity material layers are formed on the coated surface S, the second laminated high-viscosity is applied in the second coating step in the direction opposite to the coating direction in the first coating step. What is necessary is just to make it the edge part of a material layer overlap with the edge part of a 1st lamination | stacking high-viscosity material layer.

  In order to facilitate teaching of the coating gun 10, the nozzle 20 may be moved in the horizontal direction for coating even when the coated surface S has an uneven shape. Particularly in such a case, since the distance between the nozzle 20 and the surface to be coated S may increase, if the individual triangular shapes of the openings 21A and 21B are separated, the high-viscosity material layers 24A and 24B are continuous. There is a risk of not. Therefore, the triangular bottoms are connected to form the continuous high-viscosity material layers 24A and 24B in a reliable manner.

  If the distance between the openings 21A and 21B is too narrow, the high-viscosity material layer 24B is laminated on the high-viscosity material layer 24A before the high-viscosity material layer 24A is sufficiently cured. May be deformed. Further, when the openings 21A and 21B are integrated, a thick high-viscosity material layer is formed, so that the thickness is not uniform.

  Hereinafter, a high-viscosity material coating apparatus suitable for use in performing the high-viscosity material coating method according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  Compared with the above-described coating apparatus 100, this coating apparatus is different only in the discharge section 26 formed on the lower surface of the nozzle 25, as shown in FIG.

  The openings 26 </ b> A and 26 </ b> B constituting the discharge unit 26 have a rectangular shape whose longitudinal direction is a direction (right and left direction in the drawing) orthogonal to the application direction, and are arranged in parallel. The opening 26A is longer than the opening 26B by the same length at both ends in the longitudinal direction. Thus, the shape of the openings 26A and 26B stacked in the application direction is a rectangular shape having steps at both ends, and is asymmetric in the application direction and symmetric in the direction perpendicular to the application direction.

  Since the openings 26A and 26B are separated from each other in the application direction, as shown in FIG. 6A, the high-viscosity materials simultaneously discharged from the openings 26A and 26B flow away from each other in the application direction, and are applied. It is applied on the surface S.

  When the coating is performed with the opening 26A positioned on the traveling side in the coating direction and the opening 26B positioned on the rear side in the coating direction, the coating is formed by discharging from the opening 26B on the high viscosity material layer 27A formed by discharging from the opening 26A. The high-viscosity material layer 27B thus formed is laminated. As shown in FIG. 6B, the cross-sectional shape of the laminated high-viscosity material layer P formed by laminating these two high-viscosity material layers 27A and 27B is obtained by stacking the shapes of the openings 26A and 26B in the application direction. Like the shape, it has a rectangular shape with steps at both ends, and is asymmetric in the application direction and symmetric in the direction orthogonal to the application direction.

  The spacing between the openings 26A and 26B, the temperature and shear rate of the high-viscosity material when discharged from the nozzle 25, the moving speed of the nozzle 25, and the like are as follows. It can be appropriately determined in consideration of the distance from the nozzle 25 to the surface S to be coated, the outside air temperature, work efficiency, and the like so that the end shape of the lower high-viscosity material layer 27A is not deformed.

  As an example, the short sides of the rectangular shapes of the openings 26A and 26B are about 0.3 mm to several mm or less, the interval between the openings 26A and 26B is about several mm, and the temperature of the high viscosity material when discharged from the nozzle 25 is 28. The shear rate of the high-viscosity material when discharged from the nozzle 25 is 10000 / second to 20000 / second, and the moving speed of the nozzle 25 is 200 mm / minute to 1500 mm / minute.

  The coating apparatus configured as described above discharges a heated high-viscosity material from the discharge unit 25 while moving relative to the surface S to be coated. The discharged high-viscosity material flows down to reach the application surface S, is cooled and hardened, and forms a belt-like laminated high-viscosity material layer P.

  Hereinafter, the coating method of the high-viscosity material according to the second embodiment of the present invention using this coating apparatus will be described. Since this coating method is similar to the coating method of the high-viscosity material according to the first embodiment, it will be described briefly.

  First, the first application step is performed, and as shown in FIG. 7A, two high-viscosity material layers 27A and 27B are laminated, and the cross-sectional shape is a rectangular shape with steps at both ends. A certain first laminated high-viscosity material layer P1 is formed in a strip shape.

  Next, a second application step is performed, and as shown in FIG. 7B, two high-viscosity material layers 27A and 27B are laminated, and the cross-sectional shape is a rectangular shape with steps at both ends. The second laminated high-viscosity material layer P2 is formed in a strip shape apart from the first laminated high-viscosity material layer P1.

  Next, a third coating step is performed, and as shown in FIG. 7C, two high-viscosity material layers 27A and 27B are laminated, and the cross-sectional shape is a rectangular shape with steps at both ends. The third laminated high-viscosity material layer P3 is formed in a strip shape in contact with the first and second laminated high-viscosity material layers P1 and P2. The three belt-like laminated high-viscosity material layers P1 to P3 are positioned in parallel with their end portions overlapping each other.

  Unlike the first and second laminated high-viscosity material layers P1 and P2, the third laminated high-viscosity material layer P3 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape with a stepped notch at both ends. ing. This is because the application direction in the third application step is opposite to the application direction in the first and second application directions, and thus the high-viscosity material formed of the high-viscosity material discharged from the opening 26B. This is because the high-viscosity material layer 27A formed of the high-viscosity material discharged from the opening 26A is laminated on the layer 27B.

  It is most preferable that both end portions of the third laminated high-viscosity material layer P3 overlap so as to be fitted to the end portions of the first and second laminated high-viscosity material layers P1 and P2, respectively. As a result, the first to third laminated high-viscosity material layers P1 to P3 have a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape as a whole, and have a uniform thickness over a wide range except for a small area at both ends. .

  Even if both end portions of the third laminated high-viscosity material layer P3 are not fitted into the end portions of the first and second laminated high-viscosity material layers P1 and P2 due to errors, Since the end portions of the viscosity materials P1, P2, and P3 are provided with a step, even if these end portions overlap each other, the swell does not occur so much. Accordingly, interference with peripheral members such as a floor mat placed on the three laminated high-viscosity material layers P1 to P3 in parallel is prevented, and the assembling property is not adversely affected.

  In the third coating step, the coating may be applied in the same direction as the coating direction of the first and second coating steps by changing the direction of the discharge port 21 of the nozzle 20 to be changed. However, in this case, it is not preferable in view of time and effort for recombination.

  When only the two laminated high-viscosity material layers are formed on the coated surface S, the second laminated high-viscosity is applied in the second coating step in the direction opposite to the coating direction in the first coating step. What is necessary is just to make it the edge part of a material layer overlap with the edge part of a 1st lamination | stacking high-viscosity material layer.

  Hereinafter, a high-viscosity material coating apparatus suitable for use in performing the high-viscosity material coating method according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  Compared with the above-described coating apparatus 100, this coating apparatus is different only in the discharge section 29 formed on the lower surface of the nozzle 28, as shown in FIG.

  The openings 29A and 29B constituting the discharge unit 29 have a rectangular shape whose longitudinal direction is a direction orthogonal to the application direction (left and right direction in the drawing), and are arranged in parallel. The opening 29A and the opening 29B have the same length in the longitudinal direction. Thereby, the shape which accumulated the shape of opening 29A, 29B in the application direction is a rectangular shape, and is symmetrical in the application direction and symmetrical in the direction orthogonal to the application direction.

  Since the openings 29A and 29B are separated from each other in the application direction, the high-viscosity materials simultaneously discharged from the openings 29A and 29B flow away from each other in the application direction, as shown in FIG. To be applied.

  When coating is performed with the opening 29A positioned on the traveling side in the coating direction and the opening 29B positioned on the rear side in the coating direction, the coating is formed by discharging from the opening 29B on the high-viscosity material layer 31A formed by discharging from the opening 29A. The high-viscosity material layer 31B thus formed is laminated. The cross-sectional shape of the laminated high-viscosity material layer P formed by laminating these two high-viscosity material layers 31A and 31B is a rectangular shape similar to the shape in which the shapes of the openings 29A and 29B are stacked in the application direction. In the direction perpendicular to the coating direction.

  In addition, when the two high-viscosity material layers 29A and 29B are laminated, the interval between the openings 29A and 29B, the temperature and shear rate of the high-viscosity material when discharged from the nozzle 28, the moving speed of the nozzle 28, etc. The distance from the nozzle 28 to the coated surface S, the outside air temperature, work efficiency, and the like can be determined as appropriate so that the end shape of the lower high-viscosity material layer 29A is not deformed.

  As an example, the short sides of the rectangular shapes of the openings 29A and 29B are about 0.3 mm to several mm or less, the distance between the openings 29A and 29B is about several mm, and the temperature of the high-viscosity material when discharged from the nozzle 28 is 28. The shear rate of the high-viscosity material when discharged from the nozzle 28 is 10000 / second to 20000 / second, and the moving speed of the nozzle 20 is 200 mm / minute to 1500 mm / minute.

  The coating apparatus configured as described above discharges a heated high-viscosity material from the discharge unit 28 while moving relative to the surface S to be coated. The discharged high-viscosity material flows down to reach the application surface S, is cooled and hardened, and forms a belt-like laminated high-viscosity material layer P.

  Hereinafter, the coating method of the high-viscosity material according to the third embodiment of the present invention using this coating apparatus will be described. This application method is not suitable when a plurality of strip-shaped laminated high-viscosity material layers P are arranged in parallel, and only one strip-shaped laminated high-viscosity material layer P or an adjacent laminated high-viscosity material is used. This is a method suitable for forming the laminated high-viscosity material layer P apart from the layer P.

  The first application process is performed by operating the robot 40 and moving the nozzle 20 linearly in the application direction while operating the pump 60 to discharge the high-viscosity material from the discharge unit 29 of the nozzle 20. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the two high-viscosity material layers 31A and 31B are laminated, and the laminated high-viscosity material layer P having a rectangular cross-sectional shape is formed in a strip shape.

  In addition, you may use the nozzle provided with the discharge outlet comprised only from one opening. In this case, after forming the lower high viscosity material layer, the high viscosity material layer is formed thereon. However, this is not preferable because the process takes a long time.

  In addition, although embodiment of this invention was described above, this invention is not limited to this. For example, the number of layers in which the laminated high-viscosity material layer is laminated is not limited to 2, and three or more high-viscosity material layers may be laminated to form a laminated high-viscosity material layer. In this case, the discharge port is composed of three or more openings.

  In the coating method according to the first and second embodiments, the case where two or three rows of laminated high-viscosity material layers P are formed adjacent to each other has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one or four or more stacked high-viscosity material layers P may be formed.

  Further, in the case where a plurality of stacked high-viscosity material layers P are formed adjacent to each other, the case where the discharge portions 21 and 26 include the openings 21A, 21B, 26A, and 26B has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the shape in which the shapes of the openings stacked in the application direction may be asymmetric in the application direction and symmetric in the direction orthogonal to the application direction. For example, the shape of the opening may be a wavy shape.
