Description

複合片材之製造方法及製造裝置
本發明係關於一種複合片材之製造方法及製造裝置。
作為拋棄式尿布或經期衛生棉等吸收性物品之表面片材,已知有於與穿著者之肌膚抵接之面形成有凹凸者。 例如,本申請人提出一種複合片材,其具有第1及第2片材熔合之多個熔合部,且第1片材中之除熔合部以外之部分形成向與第2片材側為相反側突出的凸部。該複合片材由於在表面形成有凹凸,故而肌膚觸感或液體之擴散防止性優異。 又,亦已知有於此種複合片材中之熔合部形成貫通孔而提高液體之引入性等(參照專利文獻1、2)。於專利文獻2中,亦記載有為了形成具有貫通孔之熔合部,而於凹凸輥之凸部之前端部,設置有於與周圍之肩部之間具有階差之開孔形成用之小凸部,將2片片材夾於該小凸部與砧輥之間進行加熱而形成具有開孔之熔合部。 [先前技術文獻] [專利文獻] 專利文獻1:日本專利特開2006-175688號公報 專利文獻2:日本專利特開2006-175689號公報
本發明為一種複合片材之製造方法,該複合片材具有第1片材及第2片材熔合之多個熔合部,且上述第1片材中之除上述熔合部以外之部分之至少一部分形成向與上述第2片材側為相反側突出之凸部。該複合片材之製造方法具備:賦形步驟,其一面使於周面部具有相互嚙合之凹凸之第1輥及第2輥旋轉,一面將上述第1片材導入至該等兩輥之嚙合部而使之變形為凹凸形狀;重疊步驟,其將變形為凹凸形狀之上述第1片材一面保持於上述第1輥上一面搬送,且使上述第2片材重疊於搬送中之上述第1片材;及超音波處理步驟,其將重疊之兩個片材夾於上述第1輥之凸部與超音波熔合機之超音波焊頭之間而施加超音波振動。於上述超音波處理步驟中,於該超音波振動之施加時,形成具有貫通孔之上述熔合部。 又,本發明為一種複合片材之製造裝置,該複合片材具有第1片材及第2片材熔合之多個熔合部,且上述第1片材中之除上述熔合部以外之部分之至少一部分形成向與上述第2片材側為相反側突出之凸部。該複合片材之製造裝置具備:凹凸賦形部,其具有於周面部具有相互嚙合之凹凸之第1輥及第2輥,且使導入至該等兩輥之嚙合部之上述第1片材變形為凹凸形狀;及超音波處理部,其具備超音波熔合機,且於使上述第2片材重疊於變形為凹凸形狀之狀態之上述第1片材上之後,將該等兩個片材夾於上述第1輥之凸部與上述超音波熔合機之超音波焊頭之間而局部地施加超音波振動,形成具有貫通孔之上述熔合部。
於製造複合片材時,若利用不同之步驟進行熔合部之形成與貫通孔之形成,則有於熔合部之位置與貫通孔之位置之間產生位置偏移之情形,又,專利文獻2中所記載之於凸部之前端部設置小凸部之方法中,小凸部容易磨損,維護負擔較大等方面有改善之餘地。 因此,本發明係關於一種可消除先前技術所具有之解決問題之複合片材之製造方法及製造裝置。 以下,基於本發明之較佳之實施形態,一面參照圖式一面對本發明進行說明。 首先,一面參照圖1,一面對藉由本發明之複合片材之製造方法或製造裝置而製造之複合片材進行說明。 圖1所示之複合片材10係藉由本發明之複合片材之製造方法或製造裝置而製造之複合片材之一例,如圖1所示,具有第1片材1及第2片材2熔合之多個熔合部4,且第1片材1中之除熔合部4以外之部分之至少一部分形成向與第2片材2側為相反側突出之凸部5。 複合片材10較佳地用作吸收性物品之表面片材等。於用作吸收性物品之表面片材時,第1片材1形成朝向穿著者之肌膚側之面(以下,亦稱為肌膚對向面),第2片材2形成於穿著時朝向吸收體側之面(以下,亦稱為非肌膚對向面)。 凸部5及熔合部4於與複合片材10之面平行之一方向即圖1中之X方向,交替地且以形成一行之方式配置,此種行於與複合片材10之面平行且與上述一方向正交之方向即圖1中之Y方向形成為多行。相互鄰接之行中之凸部5及熔合部4分別於X方向偏移配置,更具體而言,偏移半個間距而配置。 於複合片材10中,上述Y方向與製造時之行進方向(MD,機械方向)一致,上述X方向與和製造時之行進方向正交之方向(CD)一致。 第1片材1及第2片材2包括片材材料。作為片材材料,例如可使用不織布、織布及針織布等纖維片材或膜等,自肌膚觸感等觀點而言,較佳為使用纖維片材,特佳為使用不織布。構成第1片材1與第2片材2之片材材料之種類既可相同,或者亦可不同。 作為使用不織布作為構成第1片材1及第2片材2之片材材料之情形時之不織布,例如,可列舉熱風不織布、紡黏不織布、水刺不織布、熔噴不織布、樹脂黏合劑不織布、針刺不織布等。亦可使用將該等不織布組合2種以上而成之積層體、或將該等不織布與膜等組合而成之積層體。用作構成第1片材1及第2片材2之片材材料之不織布之基重較佳為10 g/m2 以上,更佳為15 g/m2 以上,又較佳為40 g/m2 以下,更佳為35 g/m2 以下。不織布之基重較佳為10 g/m2 以上且40 g/m2 以下,更佳為15 g/m2 以上且35 g/m2 以下。 作為構成不織布之纖維,可使用包括各種熱塑性樹脂之纖維。作為不織布以外之片材材料,構成纖維或構成樹脂亦可較佳地使用包括各種熱塑性樹脂者。 作為熱塑性樹脂,可列舉聚乙烯、聚丙烯、聚丁烯等聚烯烴、聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯、聚對苯二甲酸丁二酯等聚酯、尼龍6、尼龍66等聚醯胺、聚丙烯酸、聚甲基丙烯酸烷基酯、聚氯乙烯、聚偏二氯乙烯等。該等樹脂可將1種單獨使用或作為2種以上之摻合物使用。又,可以芯鞘型或並列型等複合纖維之形態使用。 複合片材10如圖1所示,於第1片材1側之面,於X方向及Y方向之兩個方向具有夾於凸部5之多個凹部3,於各個凹部3之底部,形成有具有貫通孔14之熔合部4。若整體觀察,則複合片材10於第1片材1側之面具有包含上述凹部3與上述凸部5之起伏較大之凹凸,第2片材2側之面平坦,或成為相對於第1片材1側之面而起伏相對較小之大致平坦面。 複合片材10中之各個熔合部4如圖2所示,具有於上述Y方向較長之大致長方形狀之俯視形狀,於各者之內側,形成有俯視形狀為大致長方形狀之貫通孔14。換言之,各個熔合部4形成為包圍貫通孔14之環狀。貫通孔14較佳為於一個熔合部4僅形成有一個,且較佳為形成於在與熔合部4之位置之關係中預先決定之特定位置。又,貫通孔14係俯視形狀既可與熔合部4之外周緣之俯視形狀為相似形亦可為不相似形,但較佳為相似形。 於熔合部4中,藉由構成第1片材1及第2片材2之至少一者之熱熔合性樹脂熔融固化而使第1片材1與第2片材2結合。於第1片材1及第2片材2包括不織布等纖維片材之情形時,於熔合部4中,第1片材1及第2片材2之構成纖維較佳為熔融或埋沒至熔融之樹脂,無法利用目視觀察纖維狀之形態,即成為外觀上膜化之狀態。 其次,對本發明之複合片材之製造方法之第1實施態樣進行說明。 於第1實施態樣中,使用圖3所示之第1實施形態之複合片材之製造裝置20,製造上述複合片材10。 若對圖3所示之複合片材之製造裝置20進行說明,則複合片材之製造裝置20具備凹凸賦形部30、超音波處理部40、及預熱機構6,該預熱機構6將施加超音波振動之前之片材預熱至所控制之特定溫度。 凹凸賦形部30如圖3所示,具有於周面部具有相互嚙合之凹凸之第1及第2輥31、32,且藉由一面使兩輥31、32旋轉,一面將第1片材1導入至該等兩輥31、32之嚙合部33,而將第1片材1變形為沿著第1輥31之周面部之凹凸之形狀之凹凸形狀。 圖4係將第1輥31之主要部分放大表示之立體圖。於圖4中表示了第1輥31之周面部之一部分。 第1輥31係將具有特定齒寬之正齒輪31a、31b、・・組合複數片而形成為輥狀者。各齒輪之齒形成第1輥31之周面部中之凹凸形狀之凸部35,該凸部35之前端面35c成為於與下述超音波熔合機41之超音波焊頭42之前端面42t之間,對作為熔合對象之第1及第2片材1、2進行加壓之加壓面。 各齒輪之齒寬(齒輪之軸向之長度)決定複合片材10之凸部5中之上述X方向之尺寸,各齒輪之齒之厚度(齒輪之旋轉方向之長度)決定複合片材10之凸部5中之上述Y方向之尺寸。相鄰之齒輪係以其齒之間距分別偏移半個間距之方式組合。其結果,第1輥31之周面部成為凹凸形狀。於本實施形態中,各凸部35之前端面35c成為第1輥31之旋轉方向為長邊、軸向為短邊之矩形狀。若前端面35c為旋轉方向較長之形狀,則可使第1輥31之凸部35之一者與超音波焊頭42之前端面42t之接觸時間變長而容易提高溫度,故而較佳。 第1輥31中之各齒輪之齒槽部形成第1輥31之周面上之凹凸之凹部。於各齒輪之齒槽部之底部形成有抽吸孔34。抽吸孔34連通於鼓風機或真空泵等抽吸源(未圖示),以於自第1輥31與第2輥32之嚙合部33至第1片材1與第2片材2之合流部為止之間進行抽吸的方式被控制。因此,藉由第1輥31與第2輥32之嚙合而變形為凹凸形狀之第1片材1,以藉由抽吸孔34之抽吸力而維持於變形為沿著第1輥31之凹凸之形狀之狀態的狀態,搬送至第1片材1與第2片材2之合流部及利用超音波熔合機之超音波振動之施加部36。 於該情形時,如圖4所示,若於相鄰之齒輪間設置有特定空隙G,則可抑制對第1片材1施加過度之伸長力,或因兩輥31、32之嚙合部33而將第1片材1切斷,從而可使第1片材1變形為沿著第1輥31之周面之形狀,故而較佳。 第2輥32於周面部具有與第1輥31之周面部之凹凸相互嚙合之凹凸形狀。第2輥32除了不具有抽吸孔34以外,具有與第1輥31相同之構成。而且,一面使具有相互嚙合之凹凸之第1及第2輥31、32旋轉,一面將第1片材1導入至兩輥31、32之嚙合部33,藉此可使第1片材1變形為凹凸形狀。於嚙合部33中,第1片材1之複數個部位被第2輥32之凸部壓入至第1輥31之周面部之凹部,該被壓入之部分成為所製造之複合片材10之凸部5。於第2輥32之周面部,形成有插入至第1輥31之凹部之複數個凸部,但並非必須於第2輥32形成有與第1輥31之凹部全部對應之凸部。 超音波處理部40如圖3所示,具備有具備超音波焊頭42之超音波熔合機41,使第2片材2重疊於變形為凹凸形狀之狀態之第1片材1上之後,將該等兩個片材夾於第1輥31之凸部與超音波焊頭42之間而局部地施加超音波振動,形成具有貫通孔14之熔合部4。 超音波熔合機41如圖3及圖5所示,具備超音波振盪器(未圖示)、轉換器43、加速器44及超音波焊頭42。超音波振盪器(未圖示)與轉換器43電性地連接,藉由超音波振盪器而產生之頻率15 kHz~50 kHz左右之波長的高電壓之電信號輸入至轉換器43。超音波振盪器(未圖示)設置於可動台45上或可動台45外。 轉換器43內置壓電元件等壓電元件,將自超音波振盪器輸入之電信號藉由壓電元件而轉換為機械性振動。加速器44對自轉換器43發出之機械性振動之振幅調整,較佳為加以放大並傳遞至超音波焊頭42。超音波焊頭42由鋁合金或鈦合金等金屬塊形成,且以按照所使用之頻率正確地共振之方式設計。自加速器44傳遞至超音波焊頭42之超音波振動於超音波焊頭42之內部放大或衰減後,施加至作為熔合對象之第1及第2片材1、2。作為該超音波熔合機41,可將市售之超音波焊頭、轉換器、加速器、超音波振盪器組合使用。 超音波熔合機41固定於可動台45上,藉由使可動台45之位置朝向接近於第1輥31之周面之方向進退,能夠調節超音波焊頭42之前端面42t與第1輥31之凸部35之前端面35c之間之間隙、及對積層之第1及第2片材1、2之加壓力。 而且,藉由一面夾於第1輥31之凸部35之前端面35c與超音波熔合機41之超音波焊頭42之前端面42t之間而加壓,一面對作為熔合對象之第1及第2片材1、2施加超音波振動,而第1片材1中之位於凸部35之前端面35c上之部分之各者熔合於第2片材2,形成熔合部4,並且將貫通兩個片材1、2之貫通孔14形成為由熔融部分包圍之狀態。 於較佳之實施形態中,複合片材之製造裝置20具備具有配置於第1輥31內之加熱器61之預熱機構6。更具體而言,具備配置於第1輥31內之加熱器61等加熱機構、能夠測量施加超音波振動之前之片材之溫度的測溫機構(未圖示)、及基於測溫機構之測定值控制加熱器61之溫度之溫度控制部(未圖示)。藉由基於測溫機構之測定值,控制由加熱器61進行之第1輥31之周面部之加熱溫度,可將即將施加超音波振動之前之第1片材1之溫度高精度地控制為所期望之溫度。 於較佳之實施形態中,加熱器61沿著其軸長方向嵌入至第1輥31。又,加熱器61係於第1輥31之旋轉軸之周圍中之外周部之附近,於圓周方向設置間隔而配置有複數個。由加熱器61進行之第1輥31之周面部之加熱溫度藉由未圖示之溫度控制部而控制,可將複合片材之製造裝置20之運轉中導入至超音波振動之施加部36的第1片材1之溫度維持為特定範圍之溫度。 預熱機構6較佳為具備自外部對加熱對象物施加熱能而加熱之加熱機構。作為加熱機構,例如,可列舉使用電熱線之匣式加熱器等,但並不限定於此,可無特別限制地使用各種公知之加熱機構。 超音波熔合機係對熔合對象物施加超音波振動,由此使熔合對象物發熱及熔融而熔合者,不包含此處所言及之加熱機構。 於本發明之第1實施形態之製造方法中,如圖3所示,一面使第1及第2輥31、32旋轉,一面將自原料片輥(未圖示)捲出之第1片材1導入至該等兩輥31、32之嚙合部33而使之變形為凹凸形狀(賦形步驟)。然後,將變形為凹凸形狀之第1片材1一面保持於第1輥31上一面搬送,使自與第1片材1不同之原料片輥(未圖示)捲出之第2片材2重疊於搬送中之第1片材1(重疊步驟)。然後,將該重疊之兩個片材1、2夾於第1輥31之凸部35與超音波熔合機之超音波焊頭42之間而施加超音波振動(超音波處理步驟)。於超音波處理步驟中,於超音波振動之施加時,形成具有貫通孔14之熔合部4。 於第1實施形態之製造方法中,較佳為,於該超音波振動之施加之前,將第1片材1及第2片材2之至少一者預先加熱至未達該片材之熔點、且較該熔點低50℃之溫度以上。即,較佳為,於超音波振動之施加之前,進行以下之(1)及(2)之任一者或兩者。 (1)將第1片材1預先加熱至未達該第1片材之熔點、且較該熔點低50℃之溫度以上。 (2)將第2片材2預先加熱至未達該第2片材之熔點、且較該熔點低50℃之溫度以上。 較佳為,將第1片材1預先加熱至未達該第1片材之熔點、且較該熔點低50℃之溫度以上,並且將第2片材2預先加熱至未達該第2片材之熔點、且較該熔點低50℃之溫度以上。 作為使第1片材1為未達第1片材1之熔點、且較該熔點低50℃之溫度以上之方法,例如,於第1及第2輥31、32之嚙合部33與由超音波熔合機進行之超音波振動之施加部36之間,測定第1輥31上之第1片材1之溫度,且以其測定值成為上述特定範圍內之方式,控制第1輥31之周面部之溫度。作為使第1片材1預熱至特定範圍之溫度之方法,可代替以使第1片材1成為特定範圍之溫度之方式,利用配置於第1輥31內之加熱器控制第1輥31之周面部之溫度的方法,使用各種方法。例如,可列舉:於第1輥31之周面部之附近設置加熱器或熱風之吹出口、遠紅外線之照射裝置,藉由該等而控制沿著第1片材1之前或之後之第1輥31之周面部之溫度的方法;於嚙合部33中將接觸於第1片材1之第2輥32加熱,藉由其周面部之溫度控制而控制第1片材1之溫度之方法;及對沿著第1輥31之前之第1片材1,使之接觸於加熱輥或通過維持於高溫之空間,或吹送熱風之方法等。 另一方面,作為使第2片材2為未達第2片材之熔點、且較該熔點低50℃之溫度以上之方法,較佳為,將與第1片材1合流之前之第2片材之溫度利用配置於第2片材之搬送路中之測溫機構測量,以其測定值成為上述特定範圍內之方式,控制配置於第2片材之搬送路中之第2片材之加熱機構(未圖示)之溫度。第2片材之加熱機構既可為使經加熱之輥等接觸等之接觸方式,亦可為通過維持於高溫之空間、或吹送熱風或貫通或照射孔外線等非接觸式。 第1片材1及第2片材2之熔點係藉由以下之方法而測定。 例如,使用Perkin-Elmer公司製造之示差掃描熱量測定裝置(DSC,Differential scanning calorimetry)PYRIS Diamond DSC來測定。根據測定資料之峰值算出熔點。於第1片材1或第2片材2為不織布等纖維片材,且其構成纖維為包括芯鞘型、並列型等複數個成分之複合纖維之情形時,該片材之熔點係將藉由DSC而測定出之複數個熔點中最低溫度之熔點設為複合纖維片材之熔點。 於第1實施形態之複合片材之製造方法中,如此,將重疊之第1及第2片材1、2夾於第1輥31之凸部與超音波熔合機之超音波焊頭42之間而施加超音波振動,形成具有貫通孔14之熔合部4。於第1實施形態之複合片材之製造方法中,較佳為,將第1及第2片材1、2之至少一者預先預熱至該片材不熔融之上述特定範圍之溫度,然後,對一者或兩者被預熱之狀態之兩個片材1、2施加超音波振動。此時,調節施加超音波振動時之條件,例如,施加之超音波振動之波長、強度、對兩個片材1、2進行加壓之壓力等,利用超音波振動,將兩個片材1、2熔融而形成熔合部4,並且將貫通兩個片材1、2之貫通孔14形成為由熔融部分包圍之狀態。 根據第1實施形態之複合片材之製造方法,如此,將第1片材1及第2片材2之至少一者,較佳為兩者藉由加熱器等加熱機構而預先加熱至片材不熔融之程度之高溫,然後,於第1輥31之凸部35與超音波熔合機之超音波焊頭42之間一面加壓一面施加超音波振動,形成具有貫通孔14之熔合部4,藉此,與不將兩個片材1、2預熱之情形相比,可更確實地形成具有貫通孔14之熔合部4,並且不易產生於將兩個片材1、2預熱至超過熔點之溫度之情形時容易產生之不良情況,例如,熔融樹脂向搬送機構之附著或片材向搬送輥之捲繞等不良情況,故而裝置之維護負擔亦較小。 又,藉由於第1輥31之凸部35與超音波熔合機之超音波焊頭42之間,同時地進行熔合部4之形成與貫通孔14之形成,而於熔合部4之位置與貫通孔14之位置之間亦不產生位置偏移。 藉由第1實施形態之複合片材之製造方法而獲得之複合片材10具有凹凸,而且於凹部之底部具有熔合部4,該熔合部4具有貫通孔14,故而肌膚觸感或平面方向上之液體之擴散防止性優異,又透氣性或液體之引入性亦優異。 複合片材10發揮該特性,較佳地用作吸收性物品之表面片材,但複合片材10之用途並不限定於此。 自更確實地發揮上述一個或兩個以上之效果之觀點而言,本案發明之製造方法及製造裝置較佳為具有以下之構成。 (1)第1片材1較佳為預熱至較第1片材1之熔點低50℃之溫度以上、且未達該熔點,更佳為預熱至較第1片材1之熔點低20℃之溫度以上、且較該熔點低5℃之溫度以下。 (2)第2片材2較佳為預熱至較第2片材2之熔點低50℃之溫度以上、且未達該熔點,更佳為預熱至較第2片材2之熔點低20℃之溫度以上、且較該熔點低5℃之溫度以下之溫度。 第1片材1及第2片材2各者之預熱溫度自容易形成貫通孔14之觀點而言,較佳為100℃以上,更佳為130℃以上,又,自防止向搬送機構之附著或防止向搬送輥之捲繞之觀點而言,較佳為150℃以下,更佳為145℃以下。 又,自容易形成熔合部4、貫通孔14之觀點而言,夾於第1輥31之凸部35之前端面35c與超音波焊頭42之前端面42t之間而施加至第1及第2片材1、2之加壓力較佳為10 N/mm以上,更佳為15 N/mm以上,又,較佳為150 N/mm以下,更佳為120 N/mm以下,又,較佳為10 N/mm以上且150 N/mm以下,更佳為15 N/mm以上且120 N/mm以下。 此處所言及之加壓力係所謂線壓,由將超音波焊頭42之加壓力(N)除以與超音波焊頭42接觸之凸部35之齒寬(X方向)之合計(不包含第1輥31之凹部)之長度所得的值(每單位長度之壓力)來表示。 又,自容易形成熔合部4、貫通孔14之觀點而言,施加之超音波振動之頻率較佳為15 kHz以上,更佳為20 kHz以上,又,較佳為50 kHz以下,更佳為40 kHz以下,又,較佳為15 kHz以上且50 kHz以下,更佳為20 kHz以上且40 kHz以下。 〔頻率之測定方法〕 利用雷射移位計等測量喇叭前端之位移。藉由設為採樣頻率200 kHz以上,精度1 μm以上而測定頻率。 又,自容易形成熔合部、貫通孔之觀點而言,施加之超音波振動之振幅較佳為20 μm以上,更佳為25 μm以上,又,較佳為50 μm以下,更佳為40 μm以下,又,較佳為20 μm以上且50 μm以下,更佳為25 μm以上且40 μm以下。 〔振幅之測定方法〕 利用雷射移位計等測量喇叭前端之位移。藉由設為採樣頻率200 kHz以上,精度1 μm以上而測定振幅。 其次,對本發明之複合片材之製造方法之第2及第3實施態樣進行說明。 於第2實施態樣,使用圖6表示主要部分之第2實施形態之複合片材之製造裝置,製造上述複合片材10。 第2實施態樣之複合片材之製造裝置僅於具備加熱超音波熔合機41之超音波焊頭42之機構來代替配置於第1輥31內之加熱器61(預熱機構)之方面,與上述複合片材之製造裝置20不同。更具體而言,第2實施態樣之複合片材之製造裝置具備安裝於超音波焊頭42之加熱器62來作為加熱超音波焊頭42之機構。 於第2實施態樣之複合片材之製造方法中,藉由控制由加熱器62加熱之超音波焊頭42之溫度,而將即將施加超音波振動之前之第2片材2之溫度預先加熱至未達該片材2之熔點、且較該熔點低50℃之溫度以上,於該狀態下,對夾於第1輥31之凸部35與超音波熔合機之超音波焊頭42之間的第1及第2片材1、2施加超音波振動。 於藉由加熱器62等加熱機構而加熱超音波焊頭42之情形時,於藉由超音波熔合機而施加超音波振動之狀態下,第1及第2片材1、2發熱,難以測定由預熱機構加熱之片材之溫度。因此,於經由經加熱之超音波焊頭42而將第1及第2片材1、2之一者或兩者預熱之情形時,不產生超音波振動僅將加熱進行30分鐘之後測定該超音波焊頭之前端面42t之溫度,將該測定值設為由預熱機構加熱之片材之溫度。 關於第2實施態樣未特別說明之方面與第1實施形態相同,適當應用關於第1實施態樣之說明。 於第3實施態樣中,使用圖7表示主要部分之第3實施形態之複合片材之製造裝置,製造上述複合片材10。 第3實施態樣之複合片材之製造裝置不具備於施加超音波振動之前,將第1片材及第2片材之至少一者加熱至特定溫度之預熱機構,另一方面,於超音波焊頭42之前端部,配置有具有蓄熱性之構件7(以下亦稱為「蓄熱材」)。 於第3實施態樣之製造方法中,與第1實施形態之製造方法相同地,將第1片材1導入至第1及第2輥31、32之嚙合部33而使之變形為凹凸形狀之後,將該變形為凹凸形狀之第1片材1一面保持於第1輥31上一面朝向超音波振動之施加部36搬送,使第2片材2重疊於搬送中之第1片材1之後,將該重疊之兩個片材1、2夾於第1輥31之凸部35與超音波熔合機之超音波焊頭42之前端面42t之間而於超音波振動之施加部36施加超音波振動。 於第3實施態樣之製造方法中,該超音波振動之施加如圖7所示,於在超音波焊頭42之前端部配置有蓄熱材7之狀態下進行。 根據第3實施態樣之製造方法,於複合片材之製造裝置之運轉剛開始之後,包括蓄熱材7之超音波焊頭42之前端部之溫度為第1及第2片材1、2之熔點以下,但若繼續運轉,則藉由超音波振動而發熱之第1及第2片材1、2之熱蓄積於蓄熱材7,蓄熱材7之溫度上升成為第1片材1及第2片材2之熔點以上。然後,於蓄熱材7之溫度成為第1片材1及第2片材2各者之熔點以上之狀態下,調節施加超音波振動時之條件,例如,超音波振動之波長、強度、對兩個片材1、2進行加壓之壓力等,於施加超音波振動時,兩個片材1、2熔融,並且若貫通兩個片材1、2之貫通孔14形成為由熔融部分包圍之狀態,則可確實地形成具有貫通孔14之熔合部4,並且亦不易產生片材熔融而產生之熔融樹脂向搬送機構之附著或片材向搬送輥之捲繞等不良情況,故而裝置之維護負擔亦較小。 又,藉由於第1輥31之凸部35與超音波熔合機之超音波焊頭42之間,同時地進行熔合部4之形成與貫通孔14之形成,而於熔合部4之位置與貫通孔14之位置之間亦不會產生位置偏移。 蓄熱材7與至少構成超音波焊頭42之金屬相比,熱導率較低。 蓄熱材7較佳為藉由下述方法而測定出之熱導率為2.0 W/mK以下。蓄熱材之熱導率自不易向超音波焊頭或大氣放熱之觀點而言,較佳為2.0 W/mK以下,更佳為1.0 W/mK以下,又,自有效率地加熱片材之觀點而言,較佳為0.1 W/mK以上,更佳為0.5 W/mK以上,又,較佳為0.1 W/mK以上且2.0 W/mK以下,更佳為0.5 W/mK以上且1.0 W/mK以下。 〔熱導率之測定方法〕 蓄熱材7之熱導率使用熱導率測定裝置來測定。 蓄熱材7較佳地使用具有耐熱性者。蓄熱材7之耐熱溫度較佳為150℃以上,更佳為200℃以上,進而較佳為250℃以上。無特別之耐熱溫度之上限,例如為1500℃以下。 蓄熱材7亦可使用包括具有蓄熱性之本體部分及用以將該本體接著於超音波焊頭之接著劑層者,該情形時之熱導率係將接著劑部分除外而進行測定。作為該蓄熱材,例如,亦可使用日東電工製造之「玻璃布膠帶」、日東電工製造之「耐熱絕緣用聚醯亞胺膠帶」等市售品。 作為蓄熱材7之具有蓄熱性之本體部分之材質,可列舉玻璃、聚醯亞胺等,自具有適度之蓄熱性且耐熱性較高之觀點而言,較佳為聚醯亞胺等。蓄熱材7既可為單層構造之片材,亦可為包括相同或不同之材質之2個以上之片材等積層體。 又,蓄熱材7較佳為具有相對於在第1輥31之軸長方向較長之形狀之超音波焊頭42的前端面而於相同方向較長之形狀。又,自防止超音波施加時之卡住之觀點而言,蓄熱材7較佳為如圖7所示,除了被覆超音波焊頭42之前端面之部分以外,還具有被覆超音波焊頭42之前端面42t之片材行進方向上游側(圖7中左側)之角部42a之部分,又,較佳為具有被覆超音波焊頭42之前端面42t之片材行進方向下游側(圖7中右側)之角部42b之部分。 用於蓄熱材7之本體部分之聚醯亞胺於如下方面亦較佳,即耐磨損性及耐熱性優異,而且為合成樹脂,具有接受超音波振動則其本身亦發熱之性能。 自相同之觀點而言,蓄熱材7之本體部分或圖8(a)所示之超音波焊頭42上所設置之合成樹脂層42h較佳為包括聚醯亞胺或聚苯并咪唑、聚醚乙基酮、聚苯硫醚、聚醚醯亞胺、聚醯胺醯亞胺等洛氏硬度為R120以上且R140以下、耐熱溫度為150℃以上且500℃以下之合成樹脂,更佳為包括聚醯亞胺或聚苯并咪唑等洛氏硬度為R125以上且R140以下、耐熱溫度為280℃以上且400℃以下之合成樹脂。
