[0001]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, as a cushion material for furniture, beds, trains, automobiles, etc., urethane foam, non-elastic crimped fiber wadding,
In addition, resin cotton or hard cotton to which non-elastic crimped fibers are adhered is used.

However, although the foamed-crosslinked urethane has very good durability as a wadding layer or a cushioning material, it has poor moisture permeability and heat storage property and is apt to be stuffy.
Moreover, since it is not thermoplastic, it becomes difficult to recycle, and when it is incinerated, the damage to the incinerator is large and the cost for removing the toxic gas is high. For this reason, landfilling has become more frequent, but it is difficult to stabilize the ground, and there is a problem that landfilling sites are limited and costs increase. Further, although it has excellent processability, it also has a problem of pollution of chemicals used during manufacturing. In addition, since the fibers are not fixed in the thermoplastic polyester fiber wadding, the form may collapse during use, the fibers may move, and the crimp may cause a decrease in bulkiness and elasticity. become.

As a resin cotton in which polyester fibers are adhered with an adhesive, for example, a rubber-based adhesive is used, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
0-11352, JP-A 61-141388, JP-A 61-141391 and the like. Further, as a method using a cross-linkable urethane, JP-A-61-1377
No. 32 publication and the like. These cushion materials have inferior durability, and also have problems such as not being recyclable because they are neither thermoplastic nor single composition, and there are problems such as complexity of processability and pollution of chemicals used during manufacturing. .

Polyester hard cotton, for example, JP-A-58-3
1150, JP-A-2-154050, JP-A-3-220354, etc., but since an amorphous polymer having a brittle adhesive component of the heat-bonding fiber used is used (for example, JP-A-58). -136828, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-
However, there is a problem in that durability is poor such that the bonded portion is brittle and the bonded portion is easily broken during use and the form and elasticity are reduced. As an improved method, a method of entanglement treatment has been proposed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-245965, but there is a problem that the brittleness of the bonded portion is not solved and the elasticity is largely reduced. In addition, there is complexity during processing. Further, there is a problem that the bonded portion is hard to be deformed and soft cushioning is hard to be imparted. For this reason, the polyester elastomer that is soft even at the bonded portion and recovers even if it is deformed to some extent
A heat-bonding fiber using a non-elastic polyester as a core component is disclosed in JP-A-4-240219, and a cushion material using the fiber is disclosed in WO-91 / 19032, JP-A-5-155651. It is proposed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-163654. The adhesive component used in this fiber structure has a polyalkylene glycol content of 30 to 50 as a soft segment of polyester elastomer.
Wt%, 5% terephthalic acid as the acid component of the hard segment
It contains 0 to 80 mol% and is used as another acid component composition
As in the fiber described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 0-1404, isophthalic acid is contained to increase the amorphous property, and the melting point is 180.
The temperature is below ℃, and the heat-bonded part is well formed with a low melt viscosity to form an ameber-shaped bonded part, but it is easy to plastically deform, and because the core component is an inelastic polyester, plastic deformation especially under heating Becomes remarkable, and there is a problem that the heat resistance and compression resistance are lowered. As an improved method for these, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
No. 163654 proposes a structure consisting only of a polyester elastomer containing isophthalic acid as a sheath component and a heat-bonding composite fiber using an inelastic polyester as a core component. Plastic deformation becomes significant, the heat resistance and compression resistance deteriorate, and there is a problem in using it for a wadding layer or a cushion material. On the other hand, there is a method in which a silicone oil is added to a base material of hard cotton to lower the friction coefficient of fibers to improve the durability and improve the texture.
It is proposed in Japanese Patent No. 158094. However, there is a problem with the adhesiveness of the heat-adhesive fiber and the durability is poor, so it is not preferable for use in a wadding layer or cushioning material.

A thermoplastic olefin network used for civil engineering work is disclosed in JP-A-47-44839. However, unlike a cushion made of fine fibers, the surface is uneven and the touch is poor, and since the material is olefin, the heat resistance durability is extremely poor and it cannot be used as a wadding layer or cushion material. In addition, Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-1766
No. 6 discloses a method in which ejection filaments having different fineness are fused to each other to form a mold, but the mesh structure is not suitable as a cushion material. Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 3-55583 discloses that
A method of thinning only a very surface with a thinning device such as a rotating body before cooling is described. With this method, the surface cannot be flattened and a thick thin linear layer cannot be formed. Therefore, it does not provide a comfortable cushioning material. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-207462 discloses a vinyl chloride floor mat, but it is not preferable as a wadding material or a cushioning material because it has poor compression recovery at room temperature and remarkably poor heat resistance. is there. Note that no consideration is given to flame retardancy in the above-mentioned structure.

[0007]

To solve the above problems,
Non-woven laminate mesh suitable for cushioning material that has vibration resistance, heat resistance and durability, shape retention, cushioning properties, and is difficult to stuff, and a futon and furniture using the flame retardant laminate mesh. , Beds, cushions for vehicles, and other products and manufacturing methods.

Also, the thermoplastic elastomer resin of the present invention includes those obtained by blending the above elastomer with a non-elastomer component, those obtained by copolymerization, those obtained by softening the polyolefin component, and the like.

You may use it in mixture of 2 or more types. The melting point of the thermoplastic elastic resin of the present invention is preferably 140 ° C. or higher at which heat resistance and durability can be maintained, and it is more preferable to use a resin having a melting point of 160 ° C. or higher because heat resistance and durability are improved. Since the reticulated body of the present invention contains a phosphorus compound in order to impart flame retardancy,
Since the thermal stability is slightly inferior to that containing no flame retardant, it is particularly preferable to add an antioxidant or the like to improve heat resistance and durability, if necessary. The antioxidant is preferably a hindered antioxidant, which includes a hindered phenol type and a hindered amine type, and does not contain nitrogen.
It is particularly preferable to add 1% to 5% of a dophenol-based antioxidant to suppress thermal decomposition, since the generation of toxic gas with a small lethal amount during combustion can be suppressed. The soft segment content of the thermoplastic elastic resin constituting the component having the function of absorbing vibration and stress which is the object of the present invention is preferably 15% by weight.
As described above, it is more preferably 30% by weight or more, preferably 80% by weight or less, and more preferably 70% by weight or less in view of heat resistance and sag resistance. That is, the soft segment content of the component having the function of absorbing vibrations and stress of the elastic network of the present invention is preferably 15% by weight or more and 80% by weight or less, more preferably 30% by weight or more and 70% by weight or less. .

In the flame-retardant reticulate material of the present invention, the phosphorus content (Bppm) in the thermoplastic elastic resin is 60A + 200≤B≤10 with respect to the soft segment content (A% by weight).
It is necessary to satisfy the relationship of 0000. If it is not satisfied, the flame retardance is poor, which is not preferable. 100000ppm
If it exceeds the range, the plastic deformation due to the plasticizing effect becomes large and the heat resistance of the thermoplastic elastic resin is deteriorated, which is not preferable. The preferred phosphorus content (Bppm) is the soft segment content (A
Weight%), 30A + 1800 ≦ B ≦ 100,000
And the more preferable phosphorus content (Bppm) is 16A + 2600 with respect to the soft segment content (A weight%).
≦ B ≦ 50000. For flame retardancy, there is a method to add a high level of flame retardancy by adding a large amount of halides and inorganic substances, but when burning, a large amount of toxic halogen gas with a small lethal amount is generated, and there is a problem of poisoning during fire. There is a large damage to the incinerator during incineration, which is not preferable. In the present invention, the halide content is at least 1% by weight or less, preferably the halide content is 0.5% by weight or less, more preferably the halide-free content. As the phosphorus-based flame retardant of the present invention, for example, in the case of a polyester-based thermoplastic elastic resin, a flame-retardant in the hard segment portion during resin polymerization is described, for example, in JP-A-51-82392. [2.3-di (2-hydroxyethoxy) -carbonylpropyl] 9-10-dihydro-
A method of preparing a polyester-based thermoplastic elastic resin in which a carboxylic acid such as 9-oxa-10-phosphaphenalene-10-oxylo is copolymerized as a part of the acid component of the hard segment, or a thermoplastic elastic resin is used in a subsequent step. For example, the flame retardancy can be imparted by adding a phosphorus compound such as the existing chemical substance number (3) -3735. Other flame retardants capable of imparting flame retardancy include various phosphoric acid esters, phosphorous acid esters, phosphonic acid esters (the above phosphoric acid esters containing a halogen element as necessary), or polymers derived from these phosphorus compounds. It can be illustrated. In the present invention, various modifiers, additives, colorants and the like can be added to the thermoplastic elastic resin as needed. The flame-retardant reticulate material of the present invention contains phosphorus in order to impart flame retardancy. The reason is, as described above, from the viewpoint of safety, cyan gas, halogen gas, etc. generated in a fire. The goal is to minimize the lethal dose of toxic gases. Therefore, the combustion gas toxicity index of the flame-retardant reticulate material of the present invention is preferably 6 or less, more preferably 5.5 or less. In addition, since polyester fibers are often used for the side material and the wadding layer, it is preferable to use a polyester-based thermoplastic elastic resin for recycling without separation.

The thermoplastic elastic resin constituting the nonwoven fabric laminated network of the present invention preferably has an endothermic peak below the melting point in the melting curve measured by a differential scanning calorimeter. Those having an endothermic peak below the melting point have significantly improved heat resistance and sag resistance than those having no endothermic peak.
For example, a preferable polyester-based thermoplastic resin of the present invention contains 90 mol% or more of terephthalic acid or naphthalene 2.6 dicarboxylic acid having rigidity in the acid component of the hard segment, more preferably terephthalic acid or The content of naphthalene 2.6 dicarboxylic acid is 95 mol% or more, particularly preferably 100 mol%, and after transesterification of the glycol component, polymerization is carried out to a required degree of polymerization, and then, as a polyalkylene diol, preferably Average molecular weight is 5
00 or more and 5000 or less, particularly preferably 1000 or more and 3
When 000 or less of polytetramethylene glycol is copolymerized in an amount of 15% by weight or more and 70% by weight or less, more preferably 30% by weight or more and 60% by weight or less, terephthalate having rigidity in the acid component of the hard segment Acid and naphthalene 2.
6 When the content of dicarboxylic acid is high, the crystallinity of the hard segment is improved, the plastic deformation is less likely to occur, and the heat resistance and fatigue resistance are improved, but the temperature after melting heat bonding is lower than the melting point by at least 10 ° C or more. The annealing treatment improves the heat resistance and sag resistance. After applying compressive strain,
The ring further improves the heat resistance and sagging resistance. The endothermic peak is more clearly expressed in the melting curve measured by a differential scanning calorimeter of the linear structure of the network structure treated as described above at a temperature of room temperature or higher and melting point or lower. If annealing is not performed, no endothermic peak appears in the melting curve above room temperature and below the melting point. By analogy with this, it is considered that the annealing causes rearrangement of the hard segments and formation of pseudo-crystallization-like cross-linking points to improve the heat resistance and sag resistance. (This treatment is defined as pseudo crystallization treatment.) This pseudo crystallization treatment effect is also effective for polyamide elastic resin and polyurethane elastic resin.

The thermoplastic non-elastic resin in the present invention means
Examples thereof include polyester, polyamide and polyolefin. For example, for polyester, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PE
N), polycyclohexylene dimethylene terephthalate (PCHDT), polycyclohexylene dimethylene naphthalate (PCHDN), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polybutylene naphthalate (PBN), polyaryle -, Etc., and their copolyesters and the like. For polyamide, polycaprolactam (N
Y6), polyhexamethylene adipamide (NY66),
Polyhexamethylene sebacamide (NY6-10) etc. can be illustrated. Examples of the polyolefin include polypropylene (PP) and polybutene-1 (PB-1). In the present invention, the glass transition temperature is at least 4
It is preferable to use one having a temperature of 0 ° C. or higher. As the thermoplastic non-elastic resin used in the present invention, since polyester is often used for the side material of the cushion material, as a cushion material that can be recycled without being separated when discarded,
Polyesters such as PET, PEN, PBN, and PCHDT which have good heat resistance are particularly preferable. Furthermore, PET, PE
A flame-retardant polyester (hereinafter abbreviated as flame-retardant polyester) obtained by polycondensation with N, PBN, PCHDT or the like to copolymerize a phosphorus-containing ester-forming compound or containing a phosphorus-containing flame retardant is preferable. JP-A-51-82392, JP-A-55-7888, JP-B-55-416
Examples thereof include those disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 10 and the like. Although vinyl chloride has a self-extinguishing property, it produces a large amount of toxic gas when it is burned, so that it is not preferable to use it in the present invention.

The present invention is a three-dimensional three-dimensional structure in which continuous filaments having a fineness of 100,000 denier or less made of a phosphorus-containing thermoplastic elastic resin are bent and brought into contact with each other to fuse most of the contact portions. And a heat-bonding fiber made of a thermoplastic elastic resin and a short fiber made of a thermoplastic inelastic resin form a three-dimensional structure on one or both sides of a net-like body whose both sides are substantially flattened and fused. The apparent density is 0.01 g / cm ³ to 0.2 g /
It is a non-woven laminated network of cm ³ . The function of the cushioning material is that the cushioning layer is composed of a layer that thickens the basic fineness and makes it a little harder to support the body shape, and a layer that slightly increases the density with a component with good vibration damping and absorbs vibrations and blocks vibrations. Then
The surface layer is a soft layer with a fineness and a large number of constituent fibers, which gives a comfortable buttocks touch by appropriate subduction, and evenly distributes the buttocks pressure distribution and absorbs vibration that could not be absorbed by the cushion layer. By integrating the layer that blocks the vibration of the resonance part of the human body, the stress and vibration can be integrally deformed and absorbed to improve the sitting comfort. In the present invention, the function of the cushion layer is imparted to the reticulated body formed with the fused three-dimensional structure made of thermoplastic elastic resin, and the function of the surface layer is made of the thermo-adhesive fiber made of thermoplastic elastic resin and the thermoplastic non-woven fabric. A non-woven fabric laminated netting body, which can be provided in a non-woven fabric (short-fiber non-woven fabric) made of short fibers made of an elastic resin and bonded and integrated to provide a preferable cushioning material function. The short fiber non-woven fabric having a surface layer function constituting the laminated reticulate body of the present invention provides a comfortable buttocks touch due to an appropriate subsidence as a soft layer, therefore, a thermal adhesive component made of a thermoplastic elastic resin is preferably, 40% by weight or more, 70 which can satisfy vibration absorption function and deformation stress absorption function
When the content exceeds 50% by weight, the shape retention of the short fibers decreases and the subsidence becomes large. Therefore, 70% by weight or less, preferably a fineness of 20 denier or less of a heat-bonding fiber and a thermoplastic non-elastic resin are preferable. Is mixed and opened with short fibers having a denier of 20 denier or less (base material fiber) to form a three-dimensional structure, and most of the contact portion is substantially flattened by the heat-adhesive component by fusion bonding. Composed of non-woven fabric. 20 denier - exceeds Le and the apparent density of the short fiber nonwoven fabric can impart desirable surface layer functions 0.01 g / cm ³ or more 0.05 g / cm ³
The following cases are not preferable because the number of components is reduced, the feature as a dense structure does not appear, and the comfortable touch is impaired. Further, as the fineness of the heat-bonding fiber becomes smaller, the number of constituents decreases, the heat-bonding points decrease, and the dispersion of the deformation stress becomes poor, and the stress concentration at the bonding points increases and the sag resistance decreases, which is preferable. Absent. On the other hand, if the fineness is too thin, the migration with the base material fiber deteriorates, unevenness occurs at the thermal bonding points formed by the thermal bonding fibers, the dispersion of deformation stress deteriorates, and stress concentration occurs at the bonding points, It is not preferable because the compressibility is lowered and the base material fiber portion made of the thermoplastic non-elastic resin is plastically deformed and the recoverability is lowered. The preferred fineness of the heat-bonded fiber is 1 denier or more and 15 denier or less, more preferably 2 denier to 6 denier.
Denier. The matrix fiber is preferably 3 denier to 15 because it needs to retain elasticity to give a proper subduction.
Denier, more preferably 5 to 13 denier. The heat-bonded fibers and the base material fibers are mixed and opened to form a three-dimensional structure, and most of the contact portions are substantially fused and integrated by heat bonding (preferably all contact points are fused and integrated). The non-woven fabric that is made into a flat shape receives the local pressure of the buttocks on the surface to evenly disperse the pressure distribution, and the three-dimensional three-dimensional structure of the short fiber non-woven fabric is a thermo-adhesive fiber made of thermoplastic elastic resin. Since it is fused and integrated with
While the thermal bonding fibers and thermal bonding points undergo large deformation, the entire structure deforms and absorbs the deformation stress by energy conversion, and when the deformation stress is released, the rubber elasticity of the thermoplastic elastic resin facilitates the original form. Since it has a function of recovering to, it has good sag resistance. Further, the damage to the cushion layer can be gradually reduced, and the sag resistance of the entire structure is improved. If they are not fused and integrated, the shape cannot be maintained, the local pressure is received by the surface, the pressure distribution cannot be evenly distributed, and the entire structure is deformed and energy conversion is not possible. Inferior and not preferable. Since the heat-adhesive fiber is made of a thermoplastic elastic resin having a good vibration absorption property, it also functions as a layer that absorbs the vibration that could not be absorbed by the cushion layer and blocks the vibration of the resonance part of the human body. When the heat-bonding fiber is made of a thermoplastic non-elastic resin, local deformation stress cannot be followed, and the structure is destroyed due to stress concentration and recovery is poor, which is not preferable. Further, since the thermoplastic non-elastic resin has a poor vibration absorbing property, it is not preferable because it has a poor function as a layer for blocking vibration. The thickness of the short fiber non-woven fabric layer is not particularly limited, but it is 3 mm to 30 at which the surface layer function can be exhibited.
mm is preferable, and 5 mm to 20 mm is particularly preferable. On the other hand, the mesh body having a cushion layer function is a three-dimensional three-dimensional structure in which continuous filaments made of a thermoplastic elastic resin are fused at most of the contact portions, and are fused and integrated, and both sides are substantially flat. Since the vibration absorption function of the thermoplastic elastic resin absorbs and attenuates most of the vibrations given from the outside, the surface of the reticulate body is substantially absorbed even when a large deformation stress is locally applied. Since it is flattened and most of the contact part is fused and the surface is joined with the short fiber non-woven fabric at the surface,
The surface of the reticulate body receives the deformation stress and disperses the deformation stress to exert a body shape retention function, and the filaments made of the thermoplastic elastic resin form a three-dimensional three-dimensional structure and are fused and integrated. The whole is deformed to absorb the deformation stress by energy conversion, and when the deformation stress is released, the rubber elasticity of the thermoplastic elastic resin easily restores the original shape, so the sag resistance is good. . A known net-like body composed of filaments made only of non-elastic resin does not have rubber elasticity when subjected to a large deformation that cannot be absorbed by the surface layer, and therefore plastic deformation due to compressive deformation does not occur and recovery is inferior. When the surface of the reticulate body is not substantially flattened, the local external force transmitted from the short fiber non-woven fabric is selectively transmitted to the filaments and bonding points of the surface, resulting in stress concentration. There is a possibility that fatigue due to stress concentration may occur due to such external force and the sag resistance may deteriorate. When the filaments are made of thermoplastic elastic resin, the entire structure is deformed in the three-dimensional structure portion, so stress concentration is relieved. However, in the non-elastic resin, stress is concentrated at the bonding point and structural damage is caused. It will not occur and will not recover. Furthermore, if the surface is not substantially flattened and has irregularities, the buttocks feel a foreign substance when sitting, which is unfavorable for sitting. When the linear shape is not continuous, the adhesive point becomes a stress transmission point in a net having a large fineness, so that remarkable stress concentration occurs at the adhesive point, resulting in structural destruction and poor heat resistance and durability. If they are not fused, the shape cannot be maintained and the structure does not deform integrally, resulting in a fatigue phenomenon due to stress concentration and poor durability, and at the same time deforming the shape and making it impossible to maintain the body shape, which is not preferable. . The more preferable degree of fusion in the present invention is that most of the portions where the filaments are in contact are fused, and most preferably all the contact portions are in fusion. Thus, continuous filaments made of a thermoplastic elastic resin having good vibration absorption and elastic recovery form a three-dimensional three-dimensional structure in which most of the contact portions are fused, and the fusion is integrated so that the surface is substantially flat. The reticulated body with the improved cushion layer function receives the deformation stress transmitted from the surface layer composed of the short fiber non-woven fabric whose thermo-adhesive component is the thermoplastic elastic resin on the surface and improves the dispersion of the stress, and The stress applied to the shape is reduced and the entire structure deforms to absorb the deformation stress, and also improves the cushioning property to support the buttocks, recovers when the stress is released, and the vibration transmitted from the frame is also vibration absorbing property. The cushion layer made of a thermoplastic elastic resin having a good elastic recovery absorbs the vibration of the resonance part of the human body and blocks the vibration, so that the sitting comfort and the durability can be improved. For this purpose, the fineness of the filament formed of the thermoplastic elastic resin having good vibration absorption and elastic recovery forming the reticulated body of the present invention is 100,000 denier or less. When the apparent density is 0.2 g / cm ³ or less, the number of constituents decreases when the density exceeds 100,000 denier, and uneven density occurs to form a partially inferior structure, and fatigue due to stress concentration increases. It is not preferable because the durability is lowered. The preferred fineness of the filament made of the thermoplastic elastic resin of the present invention is
If the fineness is too fine, the compression resistance becomes too low and the stress absorbability due to deformation decreases, so it is 100 denier or more,
Does not impair the structure's compactness due to a decrease in the number of components 50
It is less than 000 denier. More preferably, it is at least 500 denier and at most 10,000 denier. When the apparent density of the reticulate body of the present invention is 0.005 g / cm ³ , the repulsive force may be lost, and the vibration absorbing ability and the deformation stress absorbing ability may be insufficient, which may make it difficult to develop the cushioning function.
If it is 0.25 g / cm ³ or more, the repulsive force may be too high and the sitting comfort may become poor. Therefore, the vibration absorbing ability and the deformation stress absorbing function can be fully utilized, and the function as a cushion body is easily expressed 0.01 g / cm ³ Or more and preferably 0.20 g / cm ³ or less, more preferably 0.03 g / cm ³ or more and 0.08 g
/ Cm ³ or less. As a preferred embodiment, a method in which the reticulate body in the present invention has a different fineness laminated structure in which a linear shape having a different fineness is combined with an apparent density to have an optimum configuration can be selected. The thickness of the reticulate body of the present invention is not particularly limited, however, if the thickness is less than 5 mm, the stress absorbing function and the stress dispersing function are deteriorated, so that the preferable thickness is capable of exhibiting a surface function for dispersing force and a vibration or deformation stress absorbing function. The thickness is 10 mm or more, more preferably 20 mm or more. The apparent density of the laminated net body in which the net body of the present invention and the short fiber non-woven fabric are bonded and integrated is 0.01 g / cm ³ to 0.2 g / cm ³ . If it is less than 0.01 g / cm ³ , the cushioning function such as body shape retention and vibration absorption is deteriorated, which is not preferable. 0.
When it exceeds 2 g / cm ³ , the impact resilience becomes large and the sitting comfort becomes poor, which is not preferable. A preferred apparent density is 0.
Was ^{02g / cm 3 ~0.1g / cm 3} , more preferably ^{0.03g / cm 3 ~0.06g / cm 3} .

The cross-sectional shape of the filaments of the reticulate body of the present invention is not particularly limited, but a hollow section or a modified cross section is preferable because it can impart preferable anti-compression (repulsive force) and touch. The anti-compression property can be adjusted by the fineness and the modulus of the material used to make the fineness fine, or in the soft material the hollowness and the irregularity can be increased to adjust the gradient of the initial compression stress, and the fineness can be made slightly thicker or slightly. A material with a high modulus lowers the hollow ratio and the degree of irregularity to provide anti-compression property with a comfortable sitting feeling. As another effect of the hollow cross section and the irregular cross section, by increasing the hollow ratio and the degree of irregularity, if the same anti-compression property is given, the weight can be further reduced, and the energy saving can be achieved when it is used for the seat of an automobile or the like. If it is a futon or the like, it will be easier to handle when raising and lowering. As another preferable method for imparting preferable anti-compression property (repulsive force) and touch, there is a method of forming the filament of the reticulated body of the present invention into a composite structure. Examples of the composite structure include a score core structure, a side-by-side structure, and a combination structure thereof. However, in particular, 50% or more of the linear surface is softly heat-treated in order to form a three-dimensional three-dimensional structure capable of energy-converting and recovering vibration and deformation stress that cannot be energy-converted even if the thermoplastic elastic resin layer is largely deformed. Examples thereof include a sheath core structure or a side-by-side structure occupied by a plastic elastic resin, and a combination thereof. That is, see
In the score structure, the sheath component is a thermoplastic elastic resin with a large soft segment content that facilitates energy conversion of vibrations and deformation stresses, and the core component is a thermoplastic elastic resin with a small soft segment content to provide anti-compression properties. By giving it, it is possible to give a comfortable touch to the buttocks due to a proper depression. In the side-by-side structure, the melt viscosity of a thermoplastic elastic resin with a high soft segment content that facilitates energy conversion of vibration and deformation stress is made lower than that of a thermoplastic elastic resin with a low soft segment content that exhibits anti-compressibility. A structure in which the proportion of thermoplastic elastic resin occupying a linear surface and having a large amount of soft segment is increased (metaphorically, a structure in which a thermoplastic elastic resin is arranged in an eccentric sheath-core structure) ), The proportion of the thermoplastic elastic resin occupying the linear surface and having a large soft segment content is 80
% Or more is particularly preferable, and most preferably, it is a sheath core in which the proportion of the thermoplastic elastic resin having a large soft segment content occupying the linear surface is 100%. When the proportion of the thermoplastic elastic resin with a large soft segment content that occupies the linear surface is large, the flowability when melting and fusing is high, so there is the effect of strengthening the adhesion, and the structure deforms as a unit. In this case, the fatigue resistance against stress concentration at the bonding points is improved, and the heat resistance and durability are further improved.

Since a nonwoven fabric made of a thermoplastic elastic resin and a short fiber non-woven fabric are joined and integrated so that both surfaces are substantially flattened, the other reticulated fabric, non-woven fabric, knitted fabric, hard fabric Other heat-adhesive components (heat-bonded non-woven fabric, heat-bonded fiber, heat-bonded film, heat-bonded resin, etc.) and adhesives are used to bond cotton, film, foam, metal, etc. In order to obtain a product such as a vehicle seat, a ship seat, a vehicle seat, a ship seat, a commercial bed for home use, a home use bed, a furniture chair, an office chair, a futon, etc. Since the contact area with the adhesive body surface can be widened,
It is possible to obtain a product having a wide adhesion area and strong adhesion and good adhesion durability. In this case, since a flame-retardant integrally laminated structure can be obtained by using a flame-retardant heat-bonded body, the present invention is a particularly preferred embodiment. In addition, by performing the above-mentioned pseudo crystallization treatment at any stage from the stage of forming the net body and the laminated net body into the product, the component made of the thermoplastic elastic resin in the structure was measured by a differential scanning calorimeter. It is more preferable that the melting curve has an endothermic peak at a temperature of room temperature or higher and melting point or lower because the heat resistance and durability of the product is remarkably improved. When the filaments of the reticulated body forming the non-woven fabric laminated network of the present invention have a composite structure, or by laminating the short fiber non-woven fabric layer having the above-mentioned heat-adhesive function, the non-woven fabric laminated net has a heat-adhesive function. Can also be added, and the reinforcing material and the like can be integrated with the heat-bonding structure. For example, when the mesh layer has a sheath core structure, a thermoplastic elastic resin containing a large amount of soft segment, which facilitates energy conversion of vibration and deformation stress of the sheath component, is used as a thermal bonding component, and the core component is A composition in which a thermoplastic elastic resin having a low soft segment content exhibiting compressibility is used as a high melting point component to have a function of retaining a net shape, and the melting point of the heat bonding component is lower than the melting point of the high melting point resin by 10 ° C. or more. By using, the function of the thermal adhesive layer can be imparted. Further, the short-fiber nonwoven fabric of the surface layer of the laminated structure of the present invention is a heat-bonding fiber having a low-melting point thermoplastic elastic resin having a large amount of soft segment that facilitates energy conversion of vibration and deformation stress as a heat-bonding component. A preferable heat-adhesion function can also be imparted by the constitution. The melting point of the heat-adhesive component forming the filaments or fibers in the laminated reticulate body which is preferable for exhibiting the heat-adhesive function is 15 ° C to 100 ° C lower than the melting point of the high-melting component, more preferably 20 ° C to 80 ° C. It has a low melting point. The non-woven laminate network of the present invention having a heat-bonding function has a substantially flat surface, and most of the contact portions are fused to form a network, a non-woven fabric, a knitted fabric, a hard cotton, a film, Since it is possible to increase the contact area with the surface of the foam, metal, etc. to be heat-bonded, the heat-bonding area becomes wider, and a new heat-bonded new molded body and vehicle seat, ship seat, vehicle, ship, You can get products such as beds for business and home use such as hospitals, furniture chairs, office chairs, and futons. In addition, by performing pseudo crystallization at any stage until new molded products and products are commercialized, the filaments made of the thermoplastic elastic resin in the structure are melted by a differential scanning calorimeter. It is more preferable to make the curve have an endothermic peak at a temperature of room temperature or higher and melting point or lower because a product with significantly improved heat resistance and durability can be provided.

Next, the manufacturing method of the present invention will be described. According to the manufacturing method of the present invention, the soft segment amount (A% by weight) and the phosphorus content (Bppm) are 60 A compared with the multi-row nozzle having a plurality of orifices.
A thermoplastic elastic resin satisfying the relationship of + 200 ≦ B ≦ 100,000 is distributed to each nozzle orifice, and at a melting temperature higher than the melting point of the thermoplastic resin by 10 ° C. or more and less than 80 ° C.,
It is discharged downward from the nozzle, and in a molten state, they are brought into contact with each other and fused to form a three-dimensional structure, which is sandwiched by a take-up device and cooled in a cooling tank. A method for producing a flame-retardant laminated mesh body in which short fibers made of a plastic elastic resin and short fibers made of a thermoplastic non-elastic resin are mixed and opened to laminate a three-dimensional web, and thermoformed while being compressed, Preferred is a method for producing a non-woven laminate network and a product which are annealed at a temperature of at least 10 ° C. or lower than the melting point of the thermoplastic elastic resin in the steps from cooling to integral molding to commercialization. In the present invention, as described above, the phosphorus-containing thermoplastic elastic resin can be added by a method of adding a phosphorus compound at the time of polymerization and copolymerization, or a method of adding a phosphorus compound after polymerization and mixing and kneading. The mixing and kneading can be performed by using a twin-screw kneading extruder or a single-screw extruder having a kneading function such as a dullage, a pin, or the like, which can be performed before melt extrusion or during melt extrusion. If a fixed amount of flame retardant can be supplied, kneading at the time of melt extrusion is the cheapest method. Solid flame retardant can be easily mixed with resin and supplied to the extruder so as not to segregate.However, liquid flame retardant is supplied to the kneading extruder in a fixed amount while liquid flame retardant is also measured separately. It is most desirable to take the method of kneading while supplying. For example, a method of quantitatively supplying a liquid flame retardant through a vent hole of a twin-screw kneading extruder can be exemplified. With such a method, the soft segment amount (A% by weight) and the phosphorus content (Bppm) are 6
A phosphorus content satisfying the relation of 0A + 200 ≦ B ≦ 100,000 is added to the thermoplastic elastic resin, and then a reticulate body is formed. The reticulate body is obtained by melting a thermoplastic elastic resin by using a general melt extruder, supplying the multi-row nozzle having a plurality of orifices, and discharging the resin downward from the orifices. The melting temperature at this time is 20 ° C. to 80 ° C. from the melting point of the thermoplastic elastic resin.
℃ is a high temperature. 80 ° C from the melting point of the thermoplastic elastic resin
If the melting temperature is higher than this, thermal decomposition will be remarkable and the rubber elasticity of the thermoplastic elastic resin will be deteriorated, which is not preferable. On the other hand, unless the temperature is higher than the melting point of the thermoplastic elastic resin by 10 ° C. or more, melt fracture occurs and normal filament formation cannot be performed. Further, when the filament is formed by looping after discharge and is brought into contact and fused. The temperature may be lowered and the filaments may not be fused to each other, resulting in a network having insufficient adhesion, which is not preferable. The preferred melting temperature is 20 ° C to 60 ° C above the melting point
Higher temperatures, more preferably 25 ° C to 40 ° C above the melting point. The shape of the orifice is not particularly limited, but may be a hollow cross section (for example, a triangular hollow shape, a round hollow shape, a shape with a protrusion, etc.) and / or an irregular cross section (for example, a triangular, Y-shaped, star-shaped cross-section secondary mode). In addition to the above effects, it is difficult for the three-dimensional structure formed by the discharge filaments in the molten state to relax the flow, and on the contrary, the flow time at the contact point is maintained for a long time to strengthen the adhesion point. It is particularly preferable because it can be When heating for adhesion as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-2075, the three-dimensional structure is easily relaxed, a planar structure is formed, and a three-dimensional three-dimensional structure becomes difficult, which is not preferable. As an effect of improving the properties of the reticulate body, the apparent bulk can be increased, the weight can be reduced, the anti-compression property can be improved, and the elasticity can be improved, which is difficult to obtain. The hollow section has a hollow ratio of 8
If it exceeds 0%, the cross section tends to be crushed, so that it is preferably 10% or more and 70% or less, more preferably 20% or more and 60% or less so that the effect of weight reduction can be exhibited. The pitch between the holes of the orifice needs to be a pitch with which the loop formed by the line can sufficiently contact. The pitch between holes is shortened for a dense structure, and the pitch between holes is lengthened for a coarse structure. The pitch between the holes of the present invention is preferably 3 mm to 20 mm, more preferably 5 mm to 10 mm. In the present invention, different densities and different fineness can be obtained as desired. The different density layer can be formed by a configuration in which the pitch between rows or the pitch between holes is also changed, or a method in which the pitch between both rows and holes is also changed. Also, if the pressure loss difference at the time of discharge is given by changing the cross-sectional area of the orifice, the principle that the discharged amount of molten thermoplastic elastic resin extruded from the same nozzle at a constant pressure becomes smaller for the orifice with larger pressure loss, is used. It is possible to manufacture a reticulated structure composed of filaments of different fineness by using a nozzle having at least a plurality of rows having different cross-sectional areas of orifices in a section in the longitudinal direction. Then, discharge downward from the nozzle,
While forming a loop, they are brought into contact with each other in a molten state to be fused to form a three-dimensional structure, sandwiched by a take-up net, and bent in the molten state on the surface of the mesh body by bending it by 45 ° or more. After deforming to flatten the surface and at the same time form a structure by adhering the contact points with the discharge line that is not bent, a cooling medium (usually using room temperature water can increase the cooling rate, It is preferable because it is cheap in terms of cost), and is rapidly cooled to obtain the three-dimensional three-dimensional net-structured net-like body of the present invention. The distance between the nozzle surface and the take-off point is preferably at least 40 cm or less to prevent the discharge filament from being cooled and the contact portion not being fused. If the discharge amount of the discharge line is 5g / hole or more, 10cm-40
cm is preferable, and 5 cm to 20 cm is preferable when the discharge amount of the discharge filament is less than 5 g / hole. The thickness of the net-like body is determined by the opening width (interval between the take-up nets) of the take-up net sandwiching both surfaces of the three-dimensional structure in the molten state. In the present invention, the opening width of the take-up net is set to 5 mm or more for the above reason. Next, it is drained and dried, but if a surfactant or the like is added to the cooling medium, draining and drying may be difficult, or the thermoplastic elastic resin may swell, which is not preferable. still,
The desired loop diameter and wire diameter can be determined by the distance between the nozzle surface and the take-up conveyor installed on the cooling medium that solidifies the resin, the melt viscosity of the resin, the hole diameter of the orifice and the discharge amount, and the like. A pair of take-up conveyors with adjustable spacing installed on the cooling medium sandwiches and holds the melted discharge filaments to fuse the portions that are in contact with each other and continuously draw in the cooling medium to solidify. By adjusting the distance between the conveyors when forming the body, the thickness can be adjusted while the fused net-like body is in a molten state, and a desired thickness can be obtained. If the conveyor speed is too high, the formation of contact points may be insufficient, or the contact point may be cooled until the fusion point is sufficiently formed, resulting in insufficient fusion of the contact portion.
Further, if the speed is too slow, the melt will stay too much and the density will increase, so it is necessary to set the conveyor speed suitable for the desired apparent density. Next, in the production method of the present invention, it is joined and integrated with a short fiber non-woven fabric having a surface layer function. The thermo-adhesive fiber having a fineness of 20 denier or less, which is made of a thermoplastic elastic resin, individually melts a low-melting thermoplastic elastic resin and a high-melting thermoplastic elastic resin, spins them by a well-known composite spinning, and draws them. And you can get the finished thread. However, in this method, since the heat-adhesive component has a low melting point, heat setting at a high temperature cannot be performed at the time of stretching, so that only a high shrinkage rate of 30% to 80% can be obtained. Dimensional defects occur. In the present invention, in order to solve this problem, it is preferable to obtain the finished yarn at a stretch by reducing the shrinkage rate to 10% or less by high-speed spinning at 3000 m / min or more. Next, crimping is applied and cut into a desired cut length to obtain a heat-bonded fiber. The composite form of the heat-bonding fiber used in the present invention is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the low-melting point component occupies 50% or more of the surface of the fiber in side-by-side or sheath-core because it is required to function as a heat-bonding fiber. , Low melting point component is 100% of fiber surface
It is more preferable to occupy the above. The matrix fiber is a known method in which a non-elastic resin is given a latent crimping ability by an asymmetric cooling method or a composite spinning method, and after the stretching, heat treatment is performed to develop a three-dimensional crimp, and then cut, or after the cutting, a heat treatment is performed and the three-dimensional winding is performed. A matrix fiber is obtained by expressing shrinkage. Since the matrix fiber is required to have sag resistance and heat resistance, the initial tensile resistance is at least 35 g /
Those having a denier or more and an initial tensile resistance at 70 ° C. of at least 10 g / denier or more are preferable. The crimp degree of the three-dimensional crimp is preferably 15% or more, and the number of crimps is preferably 10 to 25 crimps / inch from the viewpoint of bulkiness and anti-compression property. The heat-bonded fibers and the matrix fibers thus obtained are mixed and opened. When the amount of heat-bonding fibers is small, the vibration absorbing function is lowered, which is not preferable. If the amount of the heat-bonding fibers is too large, the bulkiness may decrease, and the preferable mixing ratio of the heat-bonding fibers and the base material fibers is 20/80 to 6.
A 0/40 weight ratio was obtained by pre-opening and mixing with an opener or the like and then opening with a card or the like to open and web the open web having a three-dimensional structure on the surface of the reticulate body and compress it. Joining and integrating by molding, or by laminating and compressing only the open web once by thermoforming to make a structure by thermoforming to create a short fiber nonwoven fabric,
Then, the mesh body and the short fiber non-woven fabric may be joined and integrated. In this case, a thermal adhesive layer or an adhesive may be separately used between the reticulate body and the short fiber non-woven fabric for bonding and integration, or the thermal rebonding function of the reticulate body or the short fiber non-woven fabric may be used for bonding and integration. Good. As a preferred method of the present invention, after the net-like body is once cooled, or in any step leading to commercialization of a laminated structure obtained by integrally molding, the temperature is at least 10 ° C. or lower than the melting point of the thermoplastic elastic resin. A more preferable production method is to obtain a laminated structure or a product by performing a pseudo-crystallization treatment by annealing. The pseudo-crystallization treatment temperature is at least 10 ° C. lower than the melting point (Tm), and is higher than the α dispersion rising temperature (Tαcr) of Tan δ. By this treatment, the heat-resistant sag resistance is remarkably improved as compared with the one having no endothermic peak (having no endothermic peak) having an endothermic peak below the melting point. The preferred pseudo-crystallization treatment temperature of the present invention is (Tαcr + 10 ° C) to (Tm-20 ° C). If it is pseudo-crystallized by simple heat treatment, heat resistance and sag resistance are improved. However, it is more preferable to impart compressive deformation of 10% or more and anneal to significantly improve the heat resistance and sag resistance. Further, when the reticulate body is once cooled and then subjected to a drying step, the pseudo crystallization treatment can be simultaneously performed by setting the drying temperature to the annealing temperature.
Also, a pseudo crystallization treatment can be separately performed in the process of commercialization. Then, it is cut into a desired length or shape and used as a cushion material.

When the non-woven fabric laminated network of the present invention is used as a cushion, it is necessary to select a resin to be used, a fineness, a loop diameter and a bulk density depending on the purpose of use and the site of use. For example, in order to impart a soft touch, moderate depression and bulging with tension, it is preferable to have a low density and fine fineness and a fine loop diameter. Low frequency, moderate hardness and linear change of hysteresis at the time of compression to improve body retention, and to maintain durability, medium density, thick fineness,
It is preferable to have a structure in which a layer having a rather large loop diameter and a layer having a low density, a fine fineness, and a fine loop diameter are laminated and integrated.
Further, it can be used for vehicle seats, boat seats, beds, chairs, furniture, etc. by molding it into a shape suitable for the purpose of use by using a molding die or the like to the extent that the three-dimensional structure is not impaired, and then covering the side fabric as it is. . Of course, it is also possible to use it in combination with other materials such as a different mesh body, a hard cotton cushion material composed of a short fiber aggregate, a non-woven fabric or the like so as to meet the required performance in relation to the application. In addition, other than the resin manufacturing process, the molded product is processed from the manufacturing process to the extent that performance is not deteriorated, and at any stage of commercialization, it becomes flame retardant, insecticidal, antibacterial, heat resistant, water / oil repellent, colored, aroma, etc. It is possible to perform the processing such as the addition of chemicals to add the function.

35 was added so as to have a phosphorus content of 10000 ppm and melted, and A-1 and A-2 were made just before the orifice so that A-1 became the sheath component and A-2 became the core component (see Su /
