Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a needle blade roll for forming a large number of short fibers from a material capable of formation of a cotton-like substance (hereinafter artificial cotton) in an artificial cotton fabricating apparatus which fabricates artificial cotton by accumulation of such short fibers.
  • artificial cotton a cotton-like substance
  • many (numerous) short fibers ( 102 ) ranging in fiber length between 1 to 200 mm are formed from a fiber material ( 101 ) in the form of a yarn, a sliver et cetera. These short fibers ( 102 ) are accumulated on an accumulation surface member (e.g., a mesh belt ( 103 ), a base paper sheet et cetera) while causing the mesh belt ( 103 )) to travel, and artificial cotton is fabricated successively (see for example Japanese Patent Kokai Publication No. 1997-193277).
  • the fiber material ( 101 ) may be any type of material that is capable of formation of artificial cotton.
  • various materials including synthetic resin have been used.
  • the artificial cotton fabricating apparatus ( 100 ) of this conventional type usually employs, as a means for forming short fibers ( 102 ) from the fiber material ( 101 ), a needle blade roll ( 106 ) comprising a roll main body ( 104 ) and a large number of needle blades ( 105 ) implanted into the outer peripheral surface of the roll main body ( 104 ).
  • the needle blade roll ( 106 ) is mounted in the inside of a cylindrical casing ( 107 ) having a supply inlet for the fiber material ( 101 ) and a discharge outlet for the short fibers ( 102 ), these openings being formed in a spaced apart relationship with each other in the circumferential direction.
  • the discharge outlet of the casing ( 107 ) opens to a wind channel ( 108 ) which is air-sucked from below.
  • the mesh belt ( 103 ) and its forwarding mechanism (not shown) are arranged under the wind channel ( 108 ).
  • the fiber material ( 101 ) is fed through a very narrow clearance between the needle blade roll ( 106 ) and the casing ( 107 ) and, at the same time, the needle blade roll ( 106 ) is rotated at high speed.
  • the short fibers ( 102 ) thus formed are dispersed in the wind channel ( 108 ).
  • the short fibers ( 102 ) dispersed in the wind channel ( 108 ) are intertwined with one another and are accumulated on the conveyor belt ( 103 ). As a result, artificial cotton is fabricated.
  • each of the blade needles ( 105 ) is arranged on the circumferential surface of the roll main body ( 104 ) along the direction of a respective radial line thereof.
  • each of the blade needles ( 105 ) is arranged at a sloping angle with respect to a respective radial-line direction so that its leading end is situated behind relative to the rotational direction of the needle blade roll ( 106 ).
  • the needle blades ( 105 ) are arrayed at right angles to the circumferential surface of the roll main body ( 104 ) or inclined backward.
  • the length of short fibers ( 102 ) formed from the fiber material ( 101 ) tends to become too short. Consequently, when a large number of short fibers ( 102 ) are accumulated on the upper surface of the mesh belt ( 103 ) or the like, there is the possibility that it becomes difficult for the short fibers ( 102 ) to twine together.
  • the reason for the short fibers ( 102 ) formed by the aforesaid construction to result in having too short a fiber length is explainable as follows.
  • an object of the present invention is to make it possible to fabricate artificial cotton from short fibers which are intertwined sufficiently by providing an improved needle blade roll capable of forming short fibers which are longer in length than conventional.
  • each of needle blades ( 14 ) of a needle blade roll is inclined against the circumferential surface of a roll main body ( 13 ) so as to lie ahead with respect to the rotational direction of the roll main body ( 13 ).
  • an invention as set forth in claim 1 is directed to a needle blade roll for use in an artificial cotton fabricating apparatus ( 1 ) which fabricates artificial cotton by forming from a material ( 2 ) capable of formation of artificial cotton a large number of short fibers ( 3 ) ranging in fiber length between 1 and 200 mm and by accumulating the short fibers ( 3 ), wherein the needle blade roll is mounted rotatably in a cylindrical casing ( 11 ) in order that a large number of short fibers ( 3 ) can be formed from the material ( 2 ).
  • the needle blade roll is characterized in that it is made up of a roll main body ( 13 ) and a large number of needle blades ( 14 ) implanted into a peripheral surface of the roll main body ( 13 ) and that each needle blade ( 14 ) is arranged at a sloping angle relative to an associated radial line of the roll main body ( 13 ) so that its leading end lies ahead of the radial line with respect to the rotational direction of the roll main body ( 13 ).
  • each needle blade ( 14 ) is inclined relative to an associated radial line of the roll main body ( 13 ) so that its leading end lies ahead of the radial line with respect to the rotational direction of the roll main body ( 13 ), this satisfactorily prolongs the length of time of the “biting” of the needle blades ( 14 ) into the material ( 2 ), thereby weakening the action of cutting of the needle blades ( 14 ) on the material ( 2 ).
  • short fibers ( 3 ) formed from the material ( 2 ) have no longer a tendency to have too short a fiber length. Because of this, the short fibers ( 3 ) are formed, having a longer length dimension than conventional. Accordingly, when fabricating artificial cotton by accumulation of a large number of such short fibers ( 3 ), the action of causing the short fibers ( 3 ) to be intertwined with one another is produced.
  • an invention as set forth in claim 2 according to the needle blade roll of claim 1 is characterized in that the needle blades ( 14 ) are implanted into the roll main body ( 13 ) so that the sloping angle ( 0 ) relative to the radial line of the roll main body ( 13 ) falls in a range of 5° ⁇ 30°.
  • each needle blade ( 14 ) to the radius of the roll main body ( 13 ) is not more than five degrees, then the action of cutting of the needle blades ( 14 ) on the material ( 2 ) increases and therefore the length of the short fibers ( 3 ) often results in becoming shorter. In the invention as set forth in claim 2 , however, the cutting action is weakened. If the sloping angle ⁇ exceeds thirty degrees, then the needle blade roll is likely to rotate at idle. In the invention as set forth in claim 2 , however, such idling will not take place.
  • an invention as set forth in claim 3 according to the needle blade roll of either claim 1 or claim 2 is characterized in that the needle blades ( 14 ) are arranged in helical fashion on the peripheral surface of the roll main body ( 13 ).
  • the phase of each of the needle blades ( 14 ) deviates with respect to the direction in which the material ( 2 ) is fed, as a result of which the action of finely cutting the material ( 2 ) into a large number of short fibers ( 3 ) occurs uniformly all over the needle blade roll.
  • an invention as set forth in claim 4 according to the needle blade roll of either claim 1 or claim 2 is characterized in that the clearance (C) between the leading ends of the needle blades ( 14 ) of the roll main body ( 13 ) and an internal peripheral surface of the casing ( 11 ) falls in a range of 50 ⁇ m ⁇ C ⁇ 500 ⁇ m.
  • the clearance C falls below the lower limit of the above range, then there is the possibility that the needle blade roll ( 12 ) is brought to a stop by fiber jam. In the invention as set forth in claim 4 , however, the aforesaid possibility is low. On the other hand, if the clearance C exceeds the upper limit of the above range, then the needle blade roll ( 12 ) is likely to rotate at idle. In the invention as set forth in claim 4 , however, such idling will not take place.
  • inventions as set forth in claims 5 - 11 are characterized in that the material ( 2 ) is specified.
  • an invention as set forth in claim 5 according to the invention of claim 1 is characterized in that the material ( 2 ) capable of formation of artificial cotton of the artificial cotton fabricating apparatus ( 1 ) is composed of at least one selected from the group consisting of synthetic resin, yarn, and sliver.
  • the material ( 2 ) is composed of one of these materials or a combination of two or more of them.
  • an invention as set forth in claim 6 according to the invention of claim 1 is characterized in that the material ( 2 ) capable of formation of artificial cotton of the artificial cotton fabricating apparatus ( 1 ) is a synthetic resin.
  • an invention as set forth in claim 7 according to the invention of either claim 5 or claim 6 is characterized in that the synthetic resin comprises a fluoropolymer.
  • an invention as set forth in claim 8 according to the invention of claim 7 is characterized in that the fluoropolymer comprises polytetrafluoroethylene and/or an ethylene/tetrafluoroethylene copolymer.
  • an invention as set forth in claim 9 according to the invention of claim 8 is characterized in that the polytetrafluoroethylene and/or ethylene/tetrafluoroethylene copolymer comprises a uniaxial drawn substance.
  • an invention as set forth in claim 10 according to the invention of claim 5 is characterized in that the yarn comprises glass fibers or carbon fibers.
  • an invention as set forth in claim 11 according to the invention of claim 5 is characterized in that the sliver comprise aramid fibers, polyimide fibers, sheep wool, or various natural fibers.
  • each needle blade ( 14 ) of the needle blade roll is, on the circumferential surface of the roll main body ( 13 ), inclined against the radial line of the roll main body ( 13 ) so as to lie ahead relative to the rotational direction of the roll main body ( 13 ).
  • the “biting” of the needle blades ( 14 ) into the material ( 2 ) becomes sufficient, thereby forming short fibers ( 3 ) having a longer length than conventional. Accordingly, in the case where artificial cotton is fabricated by accumulation of a great number of short fibers ( 3 ), the short fibers ( 3 ) are fully intertwined with one another, thereby making it possible to enhance the strength of the artificial cotton.
  • the needle blades ( 14 ) are inclinedly implanted into the roll main body ( 13 ) so that the sloping angle 0 of each needle blade ( 14 ) with respect to the radius of the needle blade roll falls in a range of 5° ⁇ 30°. If the sloping angle ⁇ is less than five degrees, the “biting” of the needle blades ( 14 ) into the material ( 2 ) is weakened and the length of fibers often results in becoming shorter, and if the sloping angle ⁇ exceeds thirty degrees, the needle blade roll is likely to rotate at idle.
  • the invention as set forth in clam 2 eliminates these drawbacks.
  • the needle blades ( 14 ) are arranged helically. As a result of such arrangement, the phase of each of the needle blades ( 14 ) deviates with respect to the direction in which the material ( 2 ) is fed, thereby making it possible to equalize segmentalization that each needle blade ( 14 ) performs on the material ( 2 ).
  • the clearance C between the leading end of each of the needle blades ( 14 ) of the roll main body ( 13 ) and the internal peripheral surface of the casing ( 11 ) falls in a range of 50 ⁇ m ⁇ C ⁇ 500. If the clearance C falls below the lower limit of the range, then there is the possibility that the needle blade roll ( 12 ) is brought to a stop by fiber jam. In the invention as set forth in claim 4 , however, the aforesaid possibility is low. If the clearance C exceeds the upper limit of the range, then the needle blade roll ( 12 ) is likely to rotate at idle. In the invention as set forth in claim 4 , however, such idling will not take place.

  • the short fibers ( 3 ) are blown into the wind channel ( 30 ).
  • a downward current of air is created by forced air discharge in the air discharge mechanism ( 60 ) and the short fibers ( 3 ) ride this air current, are dispersed in the inside of the wind channel ( 30 ), and are accumulated on the surface of the base paper sheet ( 20 ).

  • the downstream negative pressure to become greater than conventional, thereby creating relatively strong jet flows at the outlets of the flow-restrictions.
  • the short fibers ( 3 ) are stirred uniformly in the wind channel ( 30 ) by the mutual action of the jet flows generated in the two areas.
  • the generation of such strong jet flows also has to do with the increase in ventilation resistance between the vortex flow creating plate ( 34 ) and the roll unit ( 10 ) due to the bending of the flow of air caused by the vortex flow creating plate ( 34 ) being intersecting with an air flow in the sub flow path.
  • a vortex flow is created downstream of the flow-restriction on the side of the sub flow path by the action of blow-off air generated by the needle blade roll ( 12 ) rotating at high speed and a jet flow from the flow-restriction (see FIG. 8 which indicates the flow of air).
  • the vortex flow circulates and moves along the base plate portion ( 33 ) from below the vortex flow creating plate ( 34 ) and finally flows together with an air flow from the sub flow path. Accordingly, since air does not linger at the underside of the vortex flow creating plate ( 34 ) and the base plate portion ( 33 ), the short fibers ( 3 ) does not linger either. Therefore, problems such as adhesion will not arise. Besides, the short fibers ( 3 ) are dispersed more uniformly within the wind channel ( 3 ) by the effect of being stirred by a vortex flow.
  • the short fibers ( 3 ) reach the surface of the base paper sheet ( 20 ), they are intertwined with one another while receiving the action of sucking forces from the air discharge mechanism ( 60 ) and are accumulated there.

  • a current of air flows through the two flow-restrictions while the air current is bend in a curve on the sub flow path side, thereby increasing negative pressure in the inside of the wind channel ( 30 ) thereby to create strong jet flows at the outlets of the flow-restrictions of the main and sub flow paths.
  • the short fibers ( 3 ) are stirred uniformly by the mutual action of the jet flows of the two flow-restrictions. Variations (deviations) in the short fibers ( 3 ) are suppressed in the wind channel ( 30 ), thereby making it possible to fabricate artificial cotton which is uniform in “Metsuke” (mass per unit area).
  • the short fiber stirring plate ( 32 ) is arranged at a slope so that its lower end ( 33 a ) opposite to the roll unit ( 10 ) is low-lying, this arrangement makes it possible to control the volume of air flowing on the side of the main flow path and the volume of air flowing on the side of the sub flow path by making a change in the sloping angle. This therefore makes it possible to control the strength of ajet flow and the strength of a vortex flow with ease.
  • the needle blade roll ( 12 ) if the needle blades ( 14 ) are implanted at right angles (along the radial direction) relative to the circumferential surface of the roll main body ( 13 ) or are inclined backwardly relative to the rotational direction, then the action of cutting of the needle blades ( 14 ) on the fiber material ( 2 ) within the casing ( 11 ) tends to increase. As a result, the length of short fibers ( 3 ) formed from the fiber material ( 2 ) becomes shorter, therefore arising the possibility that the intertwining of the short fibers ( 3 ) becomes difficult.
  • each needle blade ( 14 ) is inclined against an associated radial line of the roll main body ( 13 ) so that its leading end lies ahead of the radial line with respect to the rotational direction of the needle blade roll ( 12 ).
  • the length of time of the “biting” of the needle blade ( 14 ) into the fiber material ( 2 ) is prolonged, thereby eliminating the tendency that the length of short fibers ( 3 ) becomes shorter.

  • the second vortex flow creating plate ( 11 g ) is provided atop the roll unit ( 10 ) below an air inflow opening ( 30 e ) of the wind channel ( 30 ).
  • the discharge outlet ( 11 b ) of the casing ( 11 ) is made wider as described above, thereby facilitating the discharge of short fibers ( 3 ) into the wind channel ( 30 ) even when short fibers ( 3 ) are being intertwined with the needle blade ( 14 ).
  • the discharge outlet ( 11 b ) is just made wide, this arises the possibility that short fibers ( 3 ) discharged from the top of the discharge outlet ( 11 b ) flow out of the apparatus.
  • the upper casing ( 11 c ) is provided with the second vortex flow creating plate ( 11 g ) and the vortex flow creating plate ( 11 g ) is disposed atop the roll unit ( 10 ), underlying the air inflow opening ( 30 e ) of the wind channel ( 30 ).
  • short fibers ( 3 ) are sucked in a vortex flow created by the second vortex flow creating plate ( 11 g ) on the wind channel's ( 30 ) side, they ride a current of air flowing through the sub flow path and are brought back into the wind channel ( 30 ).
