The second cutting device 8B includes a cutting edge 81 having a substantially V-shaped cross-sectional view. The cutting blade 81 is arranged so that the blade edge abuts or is close to the patch sheet 10 to be conveyed, and the blade edge is arranged along the width direction of the patch 10 . A plurality of patches 1 are obtained by sequentially cutting the patch sheet 10 with a cutting blade 81 along the longitudinal direction of the patch sheet 10 , which is longer than the patch 1 , along the cutting lines L 2 at predetermined intervals. Divide.

Returning to FIG. 1, in this cutting step, the patch sheet 10 is sandwiched between the cutting device 8 and the ultrasonic vibration device 9, and the ultrasonic vibration device 9 applies ultrasonic vibrations to the patch sheet 10. A cutting device 8 cuts the patch sheet 10 .

In this embodiment, the ultrasonic vibration device 9 corresponds to the first cutting device 8A and the second cutting device 8B of the cutting device 8, respectively, and the patch sheet 10 is arranged in the other direction (width direction). The first ultrasonic vibration device 9A that joins the support base material 20 and the release film 40 at the boundary portion (cutting line L1) between the first ultrasonic vibration device 9A and the boundary portion ( A second ultrasonic vibration device 9B is provided for joining the support substrate 20 and the release film 40 at the cutting line L2). The first ultrasonic vibration device 9A and the second ultrasonic vibration device 9B are arranged on the release film 40 side with respect to the patch sheet 10 .

The first ultrasonic vibration device 9A and the second ultrasonic vibration device 9B are respectively provided with horns 90 and 91 having contact surfaces 90A and 91A for the patch sheet 10 as ultrasonic wave transmitters, and oscillators (not shown). The horns 90 and 91 vibrate at high speed due to the AC voltage supplied from the first. The first ultrasonic vibration device 9A and the second ultrasonic vibration device 9B are arranged so that the respective horns 90 and 91 face the rotary blade 80 and the cutting blade 81 with the patch sheet 10 interposed therebetween. Also, the first ultrasonic vibration device 9A and the second ultrasonic vibration device 9B approach and move the patch sheet 10 by a first moving mechanism (not shown) and a second moving mechanism (not shown), respectively. The contact surfaces 90A and 91A of the horns 90 and 91 are movable in the direction of separating from each other, and when approaching the patch sheet 10, the contact surfaces 90A and 91A of the horns 90 and 91 contact the patch sheet 10 along the cutting lines L1 and L2. Then, the patch sheet 10 is sandwiched between the horns 90 and 91 and the rotary blade 80 and cutting blade 81 . At this time, horns 90 and 91 apply ultrasonic vibrations to release film 40 of patch sheet 10 along cutting lines L1 and L2. As a result, the release film 40 of the patch sheet 10 is welded to the support base material 20 along the cutting lines L1 and L2, and the release film 40 and the support base material 20 are adhered to the outer peripheral edge of each patch 1. Joined in a streak.

As described above, the patch sheet 10 is sandwiched between the horns 90 and 91 and the rotary blade 80 and the cutting blade 81, and the horns 90 and 91 apply ultrasonic vibrations to the patch sheet 10 while rotating it. By pressing the blade 80 and the cutting blade 81 against the contact surfaces 90A and 91A of the horns 90 and 91 and cutting the adhesive patch sheet 10 along the cutting lines L1 and L2, the aqueous gel 3 is cut by the rotary blade during cutting. Since it does not adhere to 80 and cutting blade 81, the patch sheet 10 can be cut with high accuracy.

Further, by applying ultrasonic vibrations to the release film 40 of the patch sheet 10 along the cutting lines L1 and L2 by the horns 90 and 91, the cutting lines L1 and L2 of the patch sheet 10 are cut. At the same time, the release film 40 is welded to the support base material 20 so that the release film 40 and the support base material 20 are joined together in a striped manner. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the cut adhesive patch 1 can be bonded along the entire peripheries of the supporting substrate 2 and the release film 4, and the aqueous gel 3 can be attached to the supporting substrate 2 and the release film 4. It can be enclosed inside the release film 4 . In order to cut and join the support base material 20 and the release film 40 well, the support base material 20 is made of a nonwoven fabric made of polyethylene terephthalate resin fiber, and the release film 40 is a polyolefin-based material such as polypropylene or polyethylene. It is preferably made of resin.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the blade edges of the rotary blade 80 and the cutting blade 81 have a small blade angle θ and a sharp tip, the patch sheet 10 can be easily cut, and at the same time, the supporting substrate of the manufactured patch 1 can be easily cut. 2 and the release film 4 are weakened. Further, when the cutting edge angle θ is large and the tip is blunt, the bonding between the supporting substrate 2 and the release film 4 of the patch 1 to be manufactured becomes strong, but the patch sheet 10 becomes difficult to cut. Therefore, the cutting edge angle θ is appropriately set in order to achieve both the ease of cutting the patch sheet 10 and the bonding strength between the supporting substrate 2 and the release film 4 .

Returning to FIG. 1, finally, the patch 1 individually cut from the patch sheet 10 in the cutting step is transported to the next step by the transport conveyor 19 arranged at the lower position in the vertical direction. In the next step, the patch 1 is packed in a non-air-permeable storage bag manually or by using a machine. is manufactured.

When the patch sheet 10 is cut, the adhesive sheet 10 is cut by the ultrasonic vibration devices 9A and 9B while being sandwiched between the ultrasonic vibration devices 9A and 9B and the cutting devices 8A and 8B. Since the patch sheet 10 is cut by the cutting devices 8A and 8B while applying ultrasonic vibrations, it is not necessary to make a score in advance to push out and eliminate the aqueous gel 3 at the cutting position of the patch sheet 10 as in the prior art. Even so, the patch sheet 10 can be cut with high accuracy to produce the patch 1 with a clean cut surface. Therefore, in the manufactured adhesive patch 1, it is possible to prevent the aqueous gel 3 from bleeding into the nonwoven fabric serving as the supporting base material 2 and seeping out to the back surface of the nonwoven fabric. It also becomes possible to adopt it, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In addition, since the patch sheet 10 does not need to be creased before being cut, the space occupied by the apparatus for press working is not required, and the occupied area and equipment cost of the equipment can be reduced, and the process time can be reduced. The production efficiency of the adhesive patch 1 can be improved by shortening the time.

Further, according to the patch manufacturing method of the present embodiment, when the patch sheet 10 is cut, the horns 90 and 91 of the ultrasonic vibration devices 9A and 9B are brought into contact with the release film 40 so that the release film 40 is ultrasonically vibrated. Therefore, at the boundary portion of the adhesive patch sheet 10, the adhesive sheet 10 is cut by the cutting devices 8A and 8B, and the release film 40 is welded to the support base material 20, thereby separating the release film 40 and the support base material 20. Joining is performed. Therefore, in the patch 1 after being cut, the peripheral edges of the supporting substrate 2 and the release film 4 are joined, preventing the aqueous gel 3 from leaking out from the peripheral edge of the patch 1 during subsequent line transportation. can do.

Further, according to the patch manufacturing method of the present embodiment, when the patch sheet 10 is cut, the horns 90 and 91 of the ultrasonic vibration devices 9A and 9B are brought into contact with the patch sheet 1, and the cutting devices 8A and 8B are cut. The blade edges of rotary blade 80 and cutting blade 81 are pressed against horns 90 and 91 to cut patch sheet 10 on contact surfaces 90A and 91A. A backing plate for pressing the blade edges of the rotary blade 80 and the cutting blade 81 can be eliminated.

In addition, according to the patch manufacturing method of the present embodiment, even if the thickness of the aqueous gel 3 is large and/or the water content of the aqueous gel 3 is high and the fluidity is high, the aqueous gel 3 does not adhere to the adhesive patch 1. Does not leak from the outer edge. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the processing time of the processing step for solidifying the aqueous gel 3 after the above-described cutting step of the patch sheet 10 or eliminate the need for this processing step. Manufacturing efficiency can be improved.
