Definitions
- the present invention relates to a heat-shrinkable tube to which heat-shrinkability is imparted by expanding a plastic tube, a manufacturing method thereof, and a manufacturing apparatus.
- Patent Document 1 describes that an unstretched tube is expanded by applying an internal pressure to regulate the diameter with the stretched tube. For example, drawing at a constant speed while applying pressure by compressed gas from one end of an unstretched tube to the inside of the tube, then preheating with warm water or an infrared heater, etc., and stretching at a stretching temperature to regulate the stretching ratio in the radial direction Place in a tube and do biaxial stretching. It cools after extending
- Patent Document 2 describes a thermoplastic resin film manufacturing system using a tubular method.
- air is enclosed in a cylindrical thermoplastic resin film, the film is stretched at least in the lateral direction, and introduced into a guide composed of two guide plates inclined so that the distance gradually decreases. It is pinched by a roll and taken out.
- the diameter and average thickness of the portion from the bubble frost line to the guide plate are made constant.
- the present invention provides a heat-shrinkable tube manufacturing method and a manufacturing apparatus capable of obtaining a heat-shrinkable tube having a stable quality without bringing a member into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the expanded tube. As well as its heat shrink tubing.
- the manufacturing method of the heat-shrinkable tube provided by the present invention includes a pair of first pinch rollers disposed so as to sandwich a plastic tube, and a pair of members disposed so as to sandwich the tube at a location different from the first pinch roller. By closing each of the second pinch rollers, the step of sealing the air supplied into the tube between the first pinch roller and the second pinch roller, and keeping the first pinch roller and the second pinch roller closed, respectively. A step of adjusting the expansion of the tube by changing the distance between the first pinch roller and the second pinch roller.
- the first pinch roller and the second pinch roller are closed, respectively, Change the distance between the two pinch rollers. If the first pinch roller and the second pinch roller are brought close to each other, the internal pressure of the tube rises between the first pinch roller and the second pinch roller and the tube expands. By changing the distance, the outer diameter and thickness of the expanded tube can be adjusted. For this reason, a regulating member such as a drawing tube is not required to regulate the expansion diameter of the tube, and a thin heat-shrinkable tube can be manufactured relatively easily.
- the tube is fed by a pinch roller, a guide plate or the like is unnecessary, and it is difficult to scratch the tube throughout the manufacturing process of the heat-shrinkable tube. Therefore, the occurrence of cracking and tearing of the tube is also suppressed.
- the step of enclosing the air supplied into the tube is to draw air from the end of the tube on the second pinch roller side with the first pinch roller closed and the second pinch roller open. And a step of closing the second pinch roller while the first pinch roller is closed.
- the internal pressure of the tube on the air supply side from the second pinch roller is changed after the second pinch roller is closed and before the distance between the first pinch roller and the second pinch roller is changed.
- a step of adjusting to a constant pressure may be further provided.
- the distance between the first pinch roller and the second pinch roller can be changed by moving the first pinch roller. If the position of the second pinch roller closer to the air supply side than the first pinch roller is fixed, it is easy to stabilize the outer diameter and wall thickness before expansion even when the extruded tube is expanded. As a result, it is possible to further ensure the stability of subsequent expansion.
- the method further comprises a step of detecting the outer diameter of the continuously fed tube between the first pinch roller and the second pinch roller, and the step of adjusting the expansion of the tube moves the first pinch roller at a constant initial speed. Then, the moving speed of the first pinch roller may be changed based on the detected outer diameter.
- the position of the first pinch roller is temporarily held in a state where the continuously fed tube is expanded to the desired outer diameter, and only when the outer diameter changes due to various causes from the first pinch position. If the roller is moved, the outer diameter of the expanded tube may become unstable. This is because sudden internal pressure fluctuations occur, which makes the expansion rate unstable. If a change in the outer diameter is detected while moving the first pinch roller at a constant initial speed, the expansion rate can be stabilized by increasing or decreasing the moving speed.
- the tube may be heated between the first pinch roller and the second pinch roller. In that case, the tube can be heated at a temperature above the glass transition point. It becomes easy to expand
- the expanded tube has a thickness (average thickness) of, for example, 100 ⁇ m or less, preferably 5 ⁇ m or more and 50 ⁇ m or less, more preferably 5 ⁇ m or more and 20 ⁇ m or less. Even in the case of manufacturing such a thin tube, since a regulating member such as a drawn tube is not used, the tube can be expanded without being broken.
- a heat shrinkable tube manufactured by the above-described manufacturing method is provided.
- This heat-shrinkable tube has almost no scratch on the surface, and the occurrence of cracks and tears caused by it is suppressed even during use.
- a pair of first pinch rollers provided so as to be movable along the feed path of the plastic tube and openable / closable across the feed path, and air from one end of the plastic tube into the tube.
- An air supply unit that supplies air

- An air vent 104 is provided at the center of the annular die 103. Air is fed into the air vent hole 104 by a compressor (not shown), and air is supplied into the tube 101 from one end of the tube 101 through the air vent hole 104. The pressure can be adjusted by a regulator. By applying an internal pressure to the tube 101 by the air supply, the tube 101 expands. Two pairs of pinch rollers 105 and 106 are used to adjust the expansion.
- the pinch rollers 105 and 106 are arranged at different height positions above the annular die 103.
- the expansion of the tube 101 is adjusted by changing the distance 107 between the pinch roller 105 and the pinch roller 106.
- the pinch roller 105 is provided so as to be displaceable within a movable range 108 in the vertical direction 102, and the pinch roller 106 is provided with a fixed position in the vertical direction 102. That is, the distance 107 between the pinch roller 105 and the pinch roller 106 is changed by moving the pinch roller 105.
- the tube 101 is stretched in the radial direction. If the rotation ratio between the pinch roller 105 and the pinch roller 106 is adjusted, the tube 101 can be extended in the axial direction.
- the pair of pinch rollers 105 are disposed with the feed path (pass line) of the tube 101 interposed therebetween, and the pair of pinch rollers 106 are also disposed with the feed path interposed therebetween.
- the pinch rollers 105 and 106 are both openable and closable, and each pinch roller holds the tube 101 in the closed state.
- Each pinch roller is driven by a motor and can feed the tube 101 upward in the vertical direction 102.
- the tube 101 sent by the pinch roller is sent to a take-up roller (drive roller) (not shown) by a guide roller 109 which is a driven roller, and taken up by the take-up roller.
- An air ring 110 can be provided upstream of the pinch roller 106 (between the annular die 103 and the pinch roller 106) as a resin cooling mechanism.
- the air ring 110 ejects cold air and cools the tube 101 pushed out from the annular die 103.
- a heating device 111, an air ring 112, and various sensors 113 are arranged between the pinch roller 105 and the pinch roller 106.
- the heating device 111 heats the tube 101 to a temperature equal to or higher than the glass transition point of the resin, for example.
- a far infrared heater or the like can be used for the heating device 111.
- the air ring 112 cools the tube 101 heated by the heating device 111 by ejecting cold air.
- the air ring 112 is disposed between the heating device 111 and the sensor 113, but may be disposed between the heating device 111 and the pinch roller 105.
- the sensor 113 measures the outer diameter and film thickness of the tube 101.
- a transmissive or reflective optical sensor can be used as the sensor 113.
- the sensor 113 outputs a detection signal to the control device 114.
- the control device 114 manufactures the heat-shrinkable tube by controlling the manufacturing apparatus 100 according to a user instruction from the operation panel or a detection signal of the sensor 113. More specifically, the control device 114 supplies air into the tube 101 through the air vent 104 with the pinch roller 105 closed and the pinch roller 106 opened, and then closes the pinch roller 106 and the pinch roller 105 and the pinch roller 105. The expansion of the tube is adjusted by changing the distance between the pinch roller 105 and the pinch roller 106 with the roller 106 closed.
- FIG. 2 shows a state in which only the upper pinch roller is closed in the heat shrinkable tube manufacturing apparatus.
- the control device 114 sets the pinch rollers 105 and 106 (such as their height positions and open / closed states) to an initial state. In this state, the pinch roller 105 is closed at the top of the movable range 108, and the pinch roller 106 is open.
- the control device 114 drives the pinch rollers 105 and 106 to supply air into the tube 101 from the air vent 104 while continuously feeding the tube 101 upward in the vertical direction 102.
- the control device 114 expands the tube 101 to a desired outer diameter by adjusting the resin discharge amount and the internal pressure.
- the desired outer diameter can be made substantially the same as the final outer diameter of the tube 101 (final outer diameter as a heat-shrinkable tube). Accordingly, the entire movable range 108 of the pinch roller 105 can be used for manufacturing the heat-shrinkable tube, and a longer product can be obtained, which is advantageous in terms of cost.
- the pinch roller 106 is closed.
- FIG. 3 shows a state where the upper and lower pinch rollers are closed in the heat shrinkable tube manufacturing apparatus.
- the control device 114 adjusts the internal pressure between the annular die 103 of the tube 101 and the pinch roller 106 to a constant pressure (depressurization) with the regulator while the pinch roller 106 is also closed, thereby obtaining a desired extrusion diameter.
- a pinch roller 106 having a fixed height position is provided closer to the air vent hole 104 than the pinch roller 105, and the outer diameter (extrusion diameter) of the extruded tube 101 is adjusted by closing the pinch roller 106 and adjusting the extrusion diameter. And its wall thickness is more easily stabilized. As a result, the stability of subsequent expansion is further ensured.
- the height position of the pinch roller 105 may be fixed and the height of the pinch roller 106 may be displaceable, or the height of both the pinch rollers 105 and 106 may be displaceable. In this case, since the distance from the annular die 103 to the pinch roller 106 changes, the internal pressure and the resin discharge amount are adjusted with higher accuracy.
- the control device 114 obtains a desired extrusion diameter by adjusting the internal pressure of the tube 101, the control device 114 moves the pinch roller 105 downward while keeping the pinch rollers 105 and 106 closed.
- the air supplied into the tube 101 is enclosed between the pinch roller 105 and the pinch roller 106 by closing the pinch rollers 105 and 106 respectively. As shown in FIG. 1, when the pinch roller 105 descends in this state, the internal pressure of the tube 101 rises between the pinch roller 105 and the pinch roller 106, and the tube 101 expands.
- the control device 114 increases or decreases the moving speed according to the detected outer diameter while moving the pinch roller 105 at a predetermined initial speed.
- the air is not completely sealed by the pinch roller, and the air leaks from the gap between the rollers, the internal pressure may drop, and the expansion rate may decrease.
- the height position of the pinch roller 105 is temporarily held and the height position of the pinch roller 105 is changed only when there is a change in the outer diameter, sudden internal pressure fluctuations occur and the expansion rate becomes unstable. turn into. For this reason, it is preferable to adjust the moving speed according to the outer diameter detected by the sensor 113 while moving the pinch roller 105.
- the moving speed of the pinch roller 105 is, for example, the following equation (1) and It can be increased or decreased according to (2).
- the adjusted speed Vb can be determined by the following equation (1).
- Vb Va + A ⁇ Va (1)
- A is an acceleration rate [%] set in advance with respect to the outer diameter that changes due to movement.
- the adjusted speed Vb is given by the following equation (2).
- Vb Va ⁇ B ⁇ Va (2)
- B is a deceleration rate [%] set in advance for the outer diameter that changes due to movement.
- the adjustment of the moving speed of the pinch roller 105 is not limited to this example.
- the speed increase C [m / min] and the speed reduction D [m / min] may be set in advance for the outer diameter that changes due to movement.
- the adjusted speed Vb can be calculated by the following equation (3), and the detected outer diameter is the predetermined upper limit. Can be calculated by the following equation (4).
- Vb Va + C (3)
- Vb Va ⁇ D (4)
- acceleration / deceleration may be fed back on the basis of a predetermined speed curve (such as a parabola).
- a predetermined speed curve such as a parabola
- the moving speed may be held at 0 [m / min].
- the control device 114 starts control again with the preset moving speed as an initial value. Thereby, instability of the expansion coefficient can be avoided.
- the outer diameter is increased due to a decrease in the resin thickness or the like (when the strength is reduced due to the decrease in the strength against the internal pressure and the expansion rate is increased), the movement of the pinch roller 105 is reversed, and the same It is also possible to perform control.
- the feedback interval need not be the time interval T, and may be determined by the production length, for example.
