本発明は、樹脂組成物を押出機から押出し、押出機から押し出された樹脂組成物を成形ロールによりシート状に成形し、該成形シートを冷却硬化させてシート状物を製造するシート状物の製造方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来から図2に示すように樹脂組成物を押出機1から押出し、押出機1から押し出された樹脂組成物を成形ロール3によりシート状の成形シート4に成形し、該成形シート4を自然冷却により硬化させてシート状物を製造するシート状物の製造方法が知られている(例えば特許文献1参照)。
【0003】
なお、図中5は搬送ロールコンベアであり、6は引き取りロール、7はシート切断手段、8はシート積層手段である。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし上記図2に示す従来例においては、成形ロール3の数や、配置、回転速度、成形ロール3の設定温度、成形ロール3と成形シート4との接触面積等の成形条件により成形ロール3通過直後の成形シート4の表面側の温度と裏面側の温度が異なり、このような表面側の温度と裏面側の温度が異なる成形シート4を搬送ロールコンベア5上で自然冷却して硬化させた場合、成形シート4の表面側もしくは裏面側のうち、一方が先に軟化点に達して硬化を開始してしまい、他方は遅れて硬化が開始されることとなり、これによって成形シート4に内部応力が残り、硬化した成形シート4に反りや捩じれが発生し、これによって製造されたシート状物の寸法精度を保つことができなかった。特に厚みの厚い成形シート4を成形ロール3によって成形する場合には、成形ロール3通過直後の成形シート4の表裏両側の温度差が大きくなり、上記した反りや捩じれが非常に大きなものとなってしまっていた。
【0006】
本発明は上記の点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、成形ロール通過直後の成形シートの表裏面の温度差を原因として生じる反りや捩じれがない成形シートを成形でき、高寸法精度を備えたシート状物を製造できるシート状物の製造方法を提供することを課題とするものである。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために本発明に係るシート状物の製造方法は、樹脂組成物を押出機1から押出し、成形ロール3により押出機1から押し出された樹脂組成物を成形シート4に成形し、該成形シート4を冷却硬化させてシート状物を製造するにあたって、前記成形ロール3通過直後の表面側の温度と裏面側の温度とが異なる成形シート4を、成形シート4の搬送方向に複数組並べて設けた上下一対の温調ロール9により成形シート4の温度が軟化点に下がるまでに成形シート4の表面側の温度と裏面側の温度とが略同一になるように冷却するシート状物の製造方法であって、前記温調ロール9により成形シート4の搬送方向に並んだ温調ロール9のうち終端部の温調ロール9に至る時点で成形シート4の表面側の温度と裏面側の温度とが略同一となるように冷却し、この後、成形シート4を搬送ロールコンベア5により自然冷却しながら搬送することを特徴とするものである。
【0008】
このように成形ロール3通過直後の成形シート4を軟化点に下がるまでに成形シート4の表面側の温度と裏面側の温度とが略同一となるように冷却することで、成形シート4の表面側及び裏面側は同時に軟化点に達して硬化を開始することとなり、これによって成形シート4には内部応力が生じず、反りや捩じれのない成形シート4を成形できる。また成形シート4の上下に配設した温調ロール9により、成形ロール3通過直後の表面側の温度と裏面側の温度とが異なる成形シート4を、成形シート4の温度が軟化点に下がるまでに成形シート4の表面側の温度と裏面側の温度とが略同一になるように冷却することで、成形シート4の上下に温調ロール9を配設するといった簡単な構成で、反りや捩じれのない成形シート4を成形することが可能となる。
【0009】
また請求項2記載のシート状物の製造方法は請求項1記載のシート状物の製造方法において、上記温調ロール9による成形シート4の冷却の際に、成形シート4の上下に配設した送風機10からの送風によって成形シート4を冷却することを特徴とするものである。
【0010】
このように温調ロール9による成形シート4の冷却の際に、成形シート4の上下に配設した送風機10からの送風によって成形シート4を冷却することで、成形シート4の冷却時間をより一層短縮できる。
【0011】
また請求項3記載のシート状物の製造方法は請求項1又は請求項2に記載のシート状物の製造方法において、上記樹脂組成物中に含まれる樹脂が、ポリプロピレン、あるいはポリエチレン、あるいはこれら2種の樹脂を混合したものであることを特徴とするものである。
【0012】
このように樹脂をポリプロピレン、あるいはポリエチレンとすることで、環境面で優れ、且つ性能やコストの面でも優れたシート状物を製造できる。
【0013】
また請求項4記載のシート状物の製造方法は請求項1〜3のいずれかに記載のシート状物の製造方法において、成形シート4を冷却硬化させた後に成形シート4を切断する切断工程を具備し、少なくとも切断工程以前の工程には成形シートの温度が40℃以下になるように冷却することを特徴とするものである。
【0014】
このようにすることで、例えばシート積層工程等の切断工程後の工程において、成形シート4の取り扱いを容易にでき、またシート状物の製造時間をより一層短縮できる。
【0015】
また請求項5記載のシート状物の製造方法は請求項1〜4のいずれかに記載のシート状物の製造方法において、成形シート4の厚みが0.5〜10mmであることを特徴とするものである
【0016】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を添付図面に示す実施形態に基づいて説明する。
【0017】
本実施形態のシート状物の製造方法において使用される樹脂組成物は、木粉と熱可塑性樹脂とを含有する木粉含有樹脂組成物である。なお樹脂組成物としてはこれに限定されない。
【0018】
熱可塑性樹脂としては環境面よりオレフィン系樹脂を用いることが好ましく、なかでも性能やコストの面でポリプロピレン、ポリエチレンが良い。上記ポリプロピレン及びポリエチレンは一方を単独で用いても良いし、また両者を併用しても良い。
【0019】
木粉としては例えば製材工場より排出されるおがくずや、廃木材、合板、MDF、パーチクルボード等のサンダー粉等を用いることができる。
【0020】
図1に本実施形態におけるシート状物の製造方法を実施するための製造装置の概略説明図を示す。
【0021】
図中1は上記樹脂組成物が投入される押出機であり、先端には押出金型2が設けられている。押出機1の前方には、押出機1側から順に、押出機1から押し出された樹脂組成物をシート状の成形シート4に成形する成形ロール3、成形ロール3によって成形された成形シート4を搬送方向に搬送しながら冷却する温調ロール9(後に詳述する)、成形シート4を自然冷却しながら搬送する搬送ロールコンベア5、搬送された成形シート4を引き取る引き取りロール6、成形シート4を切断するシート切断手段7、切断された複数の成形シート4を例えばバキューム等の方法で積層するシート積層手段8を配設している。すなわち本実施形態における製造方法においては、製造工程順に、押出機1による押出工程、成形ロール3による成形工程、温調ロール9による冷却工程、搬送ロールコンベア5、引き取りロール6によって図中矢印イに示す方向に搬送する搬送工程、成形シート4を切断する切断工程、成形シート4を積層するシート積層工程を具備している。
【0022】
上記成形ロール3は樹脂組成物(成形シート4)の通路の上下に複数(下方に2つ、上方に1つ)設けられており、該成形ロール4は厚みが0.5〜10mmの成形シート4を成形するように設定されている。なお、成形ロール3の数や、配置、回転速度、設定温度、成形ロール3と成形シート4との接触面積等の成形条件は、成形される成形シート4に対応して適宜決定されるものとする。
【0023】
しかして上記製造装置の押出機1に投入された樹脂組成物は、押出機から押し出された後、成形ロール3にて成形シート4に成形され、この後搬送されながら冷却されて硬化し、そして硬化した成形シート4は切断された後に複数枚積層され、これによって床材等のシート状物が製造されることとなる。
【0024】
ところで上記製造装置においては、成形ロール3の数や、配置、回転速度、設定温度、成形ロール3と成形シート4との接触面積等の成形条件により成形ロール3通過直後の成形シート4の表面側の温度と裏面側の温度が異なるため、例えばこのような表面側の温度と裏面側の温度が異なる成形シート4を自然冷却して硬化させた場合、成形シート4の表面側もしくは裏面側のうち、一方が先に軟化点に達して硬化を開始してしまい、他方は遅れて硬化が開始されることとなり、これによって成形シート4に内部応力が残り、硬化した成形シート4に反りや捩じれが発生してしまい、これによって製造されたシート状物の寸法精度を保つことができないという問題がある。
【0025】
そこで本実施形態においては前述した温調ロール9を成形ロール3通過直後の成形シート4を冷却するものとし、この温調ロール9によって、成形ロール3通過直後の表面側の温度と裏面側の温度とが異なる成形シート4を、成形シート4の温度が軟化点に下がるまでに成形シート4の表面側の温度と裏面側の温度とが略同一になるように冷却することで、上記問題を解決している。
【0026】
具体的には、温調ロール9は成形ロール3通過直後の成形シート4の上下、すなわち成形シート4の表面側及び裏面側に近接して複数配設されており、本実施形態においては、搬送方向において同じ箇所に位置する上下一対の温調ロール9を位置を違わせて複数組設けている。各温調ロール9の温度は成形シート4の温度が軟化点に下がるまでに成形シート4の表面側の温度と裏面側の温度とが略同一になるように設定されている。この場合、成形シート4の表裏面側の温度が同じとなるのは搬送方向に並んだ温調ロール9のうち終端部の温調ロール9に至る時点としている。また上記温調ロール9は、上下一対の温調ロール9を5組以上設けることが好ましく、また温調ロール9を金属製とすることが好ましい。成形シート4の表裏面側の温度をより一層均一にできるからである。
【0027】
上記各温調ロール9の温度調節は、温調ロール9の内部に流れる水の温度、もしくは温水の流量を調節することで行われており、具体的には各温水ロール9内部を流れる水の温度は5℃〜90℃の範囲で変更可能となっている。なお、各温調ロール9の温度調節方法は上記に限定されるものではない。
【0028】
しかして、成形ロール3通過直後の成形シート4は成形シート4の温度が軟化点に下がるまでに成形シート4の表面側の温度と裏面側の温度とが略同一になるように冷却されることとなり、この後、成形シート4の表面側及び裏面側は同時に軟化点に達して硬化を開始することとなり、これによって成形シート4には内部応力が生じず、反りや捩じれのない成形シート4を成形でき、結果として高寸法精度を備えたシート状物を製造することが可能となる。また、温調ロール9の設定温度を室温よりも低く設定することで、成形シート4の冷却時間を短縮することも可能である。
【0029】
更に成形ロール3通過直後の成形シート4を成形シート4の温度が軟化点に下がるまでに成形シート4の表面側の温度と裏面側の温度とが略同一となるように冷却することで、成形シート4が上記したような0.5〜10mmの範囲にある比較的厚みの厚い成形シート4であっても、反りや捩じれが生じることなく成形シート4を硬化させることができ、従来にない高い寸法精度を備えた厚みのあるシート状物を製造することも可能となる。
【0030】
また、成形シート4の上下に配設した温調ロール9により、上記製造方法を実現することで、成形シート4の上下に温調ロール9を配設するといった簡単な構成で、反りや捩じれのない成形シート4を成形することが可能となる。
【0031】
また本実施形態においては、図1に示すように温調ロール9によって成形シート4を冷却する際に、成形シート4の上下に配設した送風機10からの送風によって成形シート4を冷却している。もちろん送風機10の風温については空調装置によって変更することも可能である。
【0032】
詳述すると、成形ロール3通過直後の温調ロール9上の成形シート4の上下には夫々、成形シート4の表裏面の両側に室温の風を送る送風機10が配設されており、本実施形態においては搬送方向において同じ箇所に位置する上下一対の送風機10を搬送方向において位置を違わせて複数組(2組)設けている。
【0033】
このように温調ロール9によって成形シート4を冷却する際に、成形シート4の上下に配設した送風機10からの送風によって成形シート4を冷却することで、成形シート4の冷却時間を短縮でき、延いてはシート状物の製造時間を短縮でき、また製造装置を小型化することも可能となる。なお上記送風機10は、軟化点以上の温度にある成形シート4のみを冷却しても良いし、また軟化点以上の温度にある成形シート4と、軟化点未満の温度にある成形シート4の両方を冷却しても良い。また本実施形態においては、温調ロール9に加えて送風機10を設けた例を示したが、送風機10を設けず、温調ロール9単独で成形シート4を冷却しても良い。なおこの場合の図は省略する。
【0034】
また、成形シート4を冷却硬化させた後に成形シート4を切断する切断工程を具備し、少なくとも切断工程以前の工程には成形シート4の温度が40℃以下になるように冷却することが好ましい。このようにすることで、例えばシート積層工程等の切断工程後の工程において成形シート4の取り扱いを容易にでき、またシート状物の製造時間をより一層短縮できる。
【0035】
以下上記図1に示す実施形態における実施例及び比較例を具体的に説明する。

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional example shown in FIG. 2 , the molding roll 3 passes through the molding conditions such as the number of the molding rolls 3, the arrangement, the rotation speed, the set temperature of the molding roll 3, and the contact area between the molding roll 3 and the molding sheet 4. When the temperature of the front surface side and the temperature of the back surface side of the molding sheet 4 immediately after are different, and the molding sheet 4 having such a different temperature on the front surface side and the temperature on the back surface side is naturally cooled on the transport roll conveyor 5 and cured. One of the front side and the back side of the molded sheet 4 reaches the softening point first to start curing, and the other starts to be cured later, whereby internal stress is applied to the molded sheet 4. The remaining molded sheet 4 was warped and twisted, and the dimensional accuracy of the sheet-like material produced thereby could not be maintained. In particular, when the thick molding sheet 4 is molded by the molding roll 3, the temperature difference between the front and back sides of the molding sheet 4 immediately after passing through the molding roll 3 becomes large, and the above-described warpage and twisting become extremely large.

Of the temperature control roll 9 arranged in the conveying direction of the molded sheet 4 by the temperature control roll 9 and reaching the temperature control roll 9 at the end of the temperature control roll 9, the temperature on the front surface side and the back surface side of the molded sheet 4. Temperature is short It cooled such that as one, after this, is characterized in that the conveying while cool the molded sheet 4 by the transport roll conveyor 5.
[0008]
Thus, the surface of the molding sheet 4 is cooled by cooling the molding sheet 4 immediately after passing through the molding roll 3 so that the temperature on the front surface side and the temperature on the back surface side of the molding sheet 4 become substantially the same before the softening point is lowered. At the same time, the side and the back side reach the softening point and start to cure, so that the molded sheet 4 is free from internal stress and can be molded without warping or twisting. Moreover, until the temperature of the molding sheet 4 falls to the softening point, the temperature control rolls 9 disposed on the upper and lower sides of the molding sheet 4 allow the temperature of the molding sheet 4 to be different from the temperature on the front surface side and the temperature on the back surface side immediately after passing through the molding roll 3. In addition, by cooling so that the temperature on the front surface side and the temperature on the back surface side of the molded sheet 4 are substantially the same, the temperature control rolls 9 are arranged above and below the molded sheet 4, so that warpage and twisting are achieved.

[0011]
The method for producing a sheet-like material according to claim 3 is the method for producing a sheet-like material according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the resin contained in the resin composition is polypropylene, polyethylene, or 2 It is a mixture of seed resins.
[0012]
Thus, by using polypropylene or polyethylene as the resin, it is possible to produce a sheet-like product that is excellent in terms of environment and in terms of performance and cost.
[0013]
Moreover, the manufacturing method of the sheet-like material of Claim 4 is a manufacturing method of the sheet-like material in any one of Claims 1-3. The cutting process which cut | disconnects the shaping | molding sheet 4 after carrying out the cooling hardening of the shaping | molding sheet 4 is carried out. And at least the step before the cutting step is cooled so that the temperature of the molded sheet is 40 ° C. or lower.

A conveying step of conveying in the direction shown, a cutting step of cutting the molded sheet 4, and a sheet laminating step of laminating the molded sheet 4.
[0022]
A plurality of the molding rolls 3 are provided above and below the passage of the resin composition (molding sheet 4) (two at the bottom and one at the top). The molding roll 4 has a thickness of 0.5 to 10 mm. 4 is set to be molded. The number of molding rolls 3, the arrangement, the rotation speed, the set temperature, the molding conditions such as the contact area between the molding roll 3 and the molding sheet 4 are appropriately determined according to the molding sheet 4 to be molded. To do.
[0023]
Thus, the resin composition charged into the extruder 1 of the manufacturing apparatus is extruded from the extruder, then formed into a molded sheet 4 with a molding roll 3, and then cooled and cured while being conveyed, and A plurality of cured molded sheets 4 are laminated after being cut, thereby producing a sheet-like material such as a flooring.
[0024]
By the way, in the said manufacturing apparatus, the surface side of the shaping | molding sheet 4 just after the shaping | molding roll 3 passage by shaping conditions, such as the number of arrangement | positioning rolls 3, arrangement | positioning, rotational speed, preset temperature, and the contact area of the shaping | molding roll 3 and the shaping | molding sheet 4 Therefore, when the molded sheet 4 having a different temperature on the front side and the temperature on the back side is naturally cooled and cured, for example, the surface side or the back side of the molded sheet 4 One of them reaches the softening point first and starts curing, and the other begins to cure with a delay, whereby internal stress remains in the molded sheet 4 and the cured molded sheet 4 is warped or twisted. There arises a problem that the dimensional accuracy of the sheet-like material produced thereby cannot be maintained.
[0025]
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the temperature control roll 9 described above is used to cool the molded sheet 4 immediately after passing through the molding roll 3, and the temperature control roll 9 causes the temperature on the front side and the temperature on the back side immediately after passing through the molding roll 3. The above-mentioned problem is solved by cooling the molded sheet 4 different from the above so that the temperature on the front surface side and the temperature on the back surface side of the molded sheet 4 become substantially the same before the temperature of the molded sheet 4 falls to the softening point. are doing.
[0026]
Specifically, a plurality of temperature control rolls 9 are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the molding sheet 4 immediately after passing through the molding roll 3, that is, close to the front surface side and the back surface side of the molding sheet 4. A plurality of pairs of upper and lower temperature control rolls 9 located at the same location in the direction are provided at different positions. The temperature of each temperature control roll 9 is set so that the temperature on the front surface side and the temperature on the back surface side of the molded sheet 4 become substantially the same until the temperature of the molded sheet 4 falls to the softening point. In this case, the temperature on the front and back sides of the molded sheet 4 is the same when reaching the temperature control roll 9 at the end of the temperature control rolls 9 arranged in the transport direction . The temperature control roll 9 is preferably provided with five or more pairs of upper and lower temperature control rolls 9, and the temperature control roll 9 is preferably made of metal. This is because the temperatures on the front and back sides of the molded sheet 4 can be made more uniform.
[0027]
The temperature control of each temperature control roll 9 is performed by adjusting the temperature of the water flowing inside the temperature control roll 9 or the flow rate of the hot water. Specifically, the water flowing inside each warm water roll 9 is controlled. The temperature can be changed in the range of 5 ° C to 90 ° C. In addition, the temperature control method of each temperature control roll 9 is not limited to the above.
[0028]
Thus, the molding sheet 4 immediately after passing through the molding roll 3 is cooled so that the temperature on the front surface side and the temperature on the rear surface side of the molding sheet 4 become substantially the same before the temperature of the molding sheet 4 falls to the softening point. After this, the front side and the back side of the molded sheet 4 reach the softening point at the same time and start to harden. As a result, the molded sheet 4 is free from internal stress and is free from warping and twisting. As a result, it becomes possible to produce a sheet-like product with high dimensional accuracy. In addition, the cooling time of the molded sheet 4 can be shortened by setting the set temperature of the temperature control roll 9 to be lower than the room temperature.
[0029]
Further, the molding sheet 4 immediately after passing through the molding roll 3 is cooled so that the temperature on the front surface side and the temperature on the back surface side of the molding sheet 4 become substantially the same until the temperature of the molding sheet 4 falls to the softening point. Even if the sheet 4 is a relatively thick molded sheet 4 in the range of 0.5 to 10 mm as described above, the molded sheet 4 can be cured without causing warping or twisting, which is unprecedentedly high It is also possible to produce a thick sheet-like material with dimensional accuracy.
[0030]
Further, by realizing the above manufacturing method by the temperature control rolls 9 disposed above and below the molded sheet 4, warping and twisting can be achieved with a simple configuration in which the temperature control rolls 9 are disposed above and below the molded sheet 4. It becomes possible to form the molding sheet 4 which is not present.
[0031]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, when the molded sheet 4 is cooled by the temperature control roll 9, the molded sheet 4 is cooled by air blown from the blower 10 disposed above and below the molded sheet 4. . Of course, the air temperature of the blower 10 can be changed by the air conditioner.
[0032]
More specifically, blowers 10 that send air at room temperature to both sides of the front and back surfaces of the molding sheet 4 are arranged above and below the molding sheet 4 on the temperature control roll 9 immediately after passing through the molding roll 3, respectively. In the embodiment, a plurality of sets (two sets) of a pair of upper and lower fans 10 located at the same location in the transport direction are provided in different positions in the transport direction.
[0033]
In this way, when the molded sheet 4 is cooled by the temperature control roll 9, the cooling time of the molded sheet 4 can be shortened by cooling the molded sheet 4 by blowing from the blower 10 disposed above and below the molded sheet 4. As a result, the manufacturing time of the sheet-like material can be shortened, and the manufacturing apparatus can be downsized. The blower 10 may cool only the molded sheet 4 at a temperature above the softening point, or both the molded sheet 4 at a temperature above the softening point and the molded sheet 4 at a temperature below the softening point. May be cooled. Moreover, in this embodiment, although the example which provided the air blower 10 in addition to the temperature control roll 9 was shown, you may cool the shaping | molding sheet 4 by the temperature control roll 9 independent without providing the air blower 10. FIG. The illustration in this case is omitted.
[0034]
