[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a sand-containing artificial turf ground that has an appropriate moisture retention rate and that prevents the sand on the surface from becoming hard. [Conventional technology] So-called grounds such as stadiums, parks, sports fields, and ball courts have traditionally been made of soil, sand, clay, natural grass, or
It was constructed with artificial turf, asphalt concrete, or a chemical coat with a resin coating on the surface. All of these grounds have advantages and disadvantages.
For example, soil and sand are susceptible to rain, clay and natural grass require maintenance and are difficult to maintain, and asphalt concrete and chemical courts tend to bend over in the summer, making athletes' legs tired. However, there were drawbacks such as high risk. Therefore, in order to improve these drawbacks, artificial turf has been laid on the base. Conventionally, this artificial turf has been made by flocking and attaching pile threads made from polypropylene or heat-treated nylon film into small pieces, or pile threads formed from filaments to the base material, and drainage is controlled by the artificial turf or base material. Both can be adjusted freely by artificially providing grooves, holes, etc., and do not require maintenance, so they have become widely used in recent years. However, when I tried using this artificial turf field, I found that the elasticity of the ground was unnatural, the grass was so wet right after it rained that my feet slipped, and on tennis courts, the ball's feet were unnatural. It was found that sagging occurs. Therefore, it is known to spread granular mineral materials such as sand on the artificial turf to form a layer of sand (Japanese Patent Publication No. 46203/1983). [Problems to be solved by the invention] At first, a field with sand-containing artificial turf has good drainage, elasticity, and good effects on the legs, but as time passes, the sand hardens and hardens, making it look like hardened cement. I realized that I was getting into a situation. The reason for this is not clear, but it is thought that polypropylene piles have almost zero water absorption, so they are unable to make the sand retain an appropriate amount of moisture. In addition, the polypropylene pile curls up relatively quickly after it is laid, as if it were covered with sand.
It is thought that the coat is tightened and becomes hard. On the other hand, nylon pile has a good moisture retention rate, but since it is heat-set to improve the bending recovery of the pile strips, the pile pieces stand upright and the surface becomes uneven. This resulted in the function of the ground being halved. The present invention was obtained as a result of studies to eliminate the drawbacks of such sand-containing artificial turf grounds. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a sand-containing artificial turf ground in which the sand spread on the artificial turf always retains an appropriate moisture content and does not solidify. [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following measures. In other words, artificial turf made of pile yarn made of non-heat-set nylon yarn with a boiling water shrinkage rate of 10% or more is laid on a stable base, and sand is spread on top of it. This is an artificial turf ground with sand. The pile yarn in the present invention is made of nylon yarn, but this nylon is not heat set,
The biggest feature is that the boiling water shrinkage rate is 10% or more. Conventional pile yarns must be heated to 110°C to 140°C with wet or dry heat in order to have bending recovery properties.
The crystallinity of the nylon was increased by heat setting it for 5 to 15 minutes. Heat-set nylon pile does not set and is extremely suitable for carpets, artificial turf, etc. However, when used on sand-filled artificial turf grounds, the pile pieces tend to stand upright and the sand surface becomes uneven. . The pile also has low water absorption. However, the pile of nylon yarn of the present invention that is not heat set has an official moisture content of 4.5%.
(20℃, 65%RH), has a moisture content of 15-20% in water, and expands in volume under humid conditions. Therefore,
After rain, the volumetric expansion of the pile is greatest, suppressing the compaction of sand and leaving the ground in a soft state. Even on sunny days, water is constantly supplied to the sand, and then the expansion force of the sand is added, causing the sand to move slightly, so the sand does not harden and is always kept in a fluid state. In the present invention, the non-heat set nylon yarn means, for example, when formed from a film,
This means that the film is subjected to a stretching process, but there is no subsequent heating process, and when it is formed from a filament, it is passed through a stretching process after spinning, but there is no subsequent heating process.
As mentioned above, the boiling water shrinkage rate is 10% or more, and preferably the crystallinity determined from the heat of fusion in the crosslinking and freezing method using acetylene is 16% or less. The pile strips of nylon yarn of the present invention have a thickness of 30
~50μ, width 500~1000μ is preferable, pile fineness is
2000-6000 deniers are preferred. If the pile strips are smaller than this, there will be problems in terms of wear resistance and durability will be lacking. Nylon is generally nylon 6 or nylon 66, but is not limited to these. The structure of the artificial turf is not particularly limited, and it is possible to use one in which pile threads are flocked and attached to a base material including a backing layer or a cushioning layer. The stable base is preferably a stable base such as concrete or asphalt, and is preferably smooth and provided with a drainage structure. The sand used in the present invention is not particularly limited to natural sand, quarried sand, etc., but preferably has a high silica content, particularly preferably 90% or more, and is a natural silica sand with a shape close to spherical. preferable. Silica sand, which has a nearly spherical shape, is difficult to break, is highly durable, and has good fluidity, so it is difficult to solidify. The grain size of the sand is preferably about 20 to 50 mesh, and the structure (after construction) preferably has a water retention rate of about 5 to 10%. (Those with a silicic acid content of 90% or more absorb almost no water, and have the largest volume when the adhering moisture is 5 to 6%.) When good sand gets surface water, it increases in bulk, and the unit Volumetric weight is significantly reduced. In other words, the sand swells. Generally, when the moisture content of sand is 5 to 6%, the swelling is greatest, and the increase in volume reaches 10 to 30%. This movement of volume change prevents the sand from solidifying. [Function] Since the artificial turf pile yarn of the present invention uses nylon yarn that is not heat set, the pile easily absorbs water and the moisture in the sand layer is retained for a long time. There is no problem after rain, but if the weather continues to be sunny and the ground becomes dry, watering is normally applied, but at that time the pile absorbs water again and a non-hard ground condition is obtained.
It is also believed that sand is moved through appropriate settling and expansion of the pile, and as a result, solidification of the sand is prevented. [Example] The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to Examples. Example 1 An experimental ground was constructed under the following conditions. Base: Asphalt concrete, area: 200m2
Artificial turf base material: Polypropylene (plain weave) Nylon pile yarn: 40μ x 650μ x 6000D (strip thickness, width, denier) Sand: Natural silica sand with a particle size of 28 to 48 mesh. ( SiO2 , 90
%) Lamination thickness 15mm. Using this experimental ground, we conducted a practical test as a tennis practice court for one year, and examined the surface condition and hardness (measured with a Yamanaka soil hardness meter) after it rained. The results are shown below. For comparison, the results when heat-set nylon and polypropylene artificial turf were laid are also summarized in the table.

- Hardness was measured using a Yamanaka soil hardness meter [Results of the invention] The sand-containing artificial turf ground of the present invention exhibits the following effects. (1) Artificial grass with piles made of nylon yarn that has not been heat set is used, so it has a high moisture retention rate and expands in volume, which prevents the sand from solidifying. The effect can be further increased by providing appropriate rehydration. (2) Since sand with good fluidity that is finely crushed and hard to solidify is layered between the artificial turf, the ground has good drainage and always has an appropriate elasticity.
