Description

Method for producing disposable wearing article

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing disposable wearing articles.

Conventionally, in a process of manufacturing a diaper, a sheet is trimmed by a die cutter to form a leg hole through which a leg passes. In contrast to such a manufacturing method, an H-type manufacturing method in which leg holes are not formed by trimming is known because of the need for waste of materials and cost reduction.
In the H-type manufacturing method, an absorbent main body is bridged between a pair of waistline members (Patent Document 1).

In the H-type manufacturing method, leg holes are not required to be trimmed by making the diaper H-shaped. However, in the invention of Patent Document 1, a liquid-impermeable back sheet, that is, a resin sheet such as polyethylene is exposed on the non-skin surface side of the crotch region, and the appearance and texture are poor.

Therefore, a diaper is disclosed in which an exterior nonwoven fabric such as a nonwoven fabric is arranged on the outer surface of a liquid-impermeable sheet of an H-type diaper (Patent Document 2). By providing the cloth-like material, the appearance and feel of the appearance are improved.

However, as the number of sheets around the trunk increases, problems such as creaking and swelling of the front and rear trunks will occur.

In addition, when a pattern or the like is printed on the resin back sheet, the back sheet covers not only the waistline member but also the nonwoven fabric. Therefore, the picture or the like tends to be unclear.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing an article to be worn, which can suppress creaking and swelling of the front and rear trunks in an H-shaped article to be worn.

In order to achieve the above object, a method for manufacturing a disposable wearing article 1 according to the present invention includes:
The wearing article 1 covers at least one

waistline member

3F, 3B extending in the waistline direction X and covers the wearer's waist, and overlaps the skin surface of the

waistline members

3F, 3B with an overlapping portion 23, and is perpendicular to the waistline direction X. An absorbent main body 2 extending in the direction Y and covering the crotch of the wearer,
The

waistline members

3F and 3B have a non-skin surface formed of a waistline nonwoven fabric, and the

waistline members

3F and 3B protrude in the waistline direction X from the end of the absorbent body 2 in the waistline direction X. ,
The absorbent main body 2 includes an absorbent core 24 that absorbs the body fluid of the wearer, a liquid-impermeable resin sheet 27 that covers the non-skin surface of the absorbent core 24, and a non-skin surface of the resin sheet 27. The covering non-woven fabric 4 is formed by being laminated,
In the overlap portion 23, the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 is formed with a cutout portion 40 surrounded by the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 except at least one end in the longitudinal direction Y, so that the exterior nonwoven fabric is formed in the cutout portion 40. 4 is characterized by not covering the resin sheet 27;
The manufacturing method includes a perforating step of forming an opening 401 serving as the notch 40 in the exterior nonwoven fabric W4 while conveying the exterior nonwoven fabric W4 serving as the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 in the longitudinal direction Y1;
A first laminating step of pasting the continuous resin sheet S27 to be the resin sheet 27 on the skin surface of the exterior continuous nonwoven fabric W4 after the perforating step and closing the opening 401 with the continuous resin sheet S27;
Arranging the absorbent core 24 on the skin surface of the continuous resin sheet S27 to obtain a continuous laminate W2 to be the absorbent main body 2, and
Cutting the continuous laminate W2 along a virtual cutting line C extending in the width direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction in order to obtain the absorbent main body 2 of each wearing article 1 from the continuous laminate W2. ,
A second laminating step of laminating and laminating at least one continuous nonwoven fabric laminate W3F, W3B to be the

waistline members

3F, 3B on the non-skin surface of the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 so as to cover the notch 40; .

According to the method of the present invention, in order to produce the wearing article 1 having the cutout portion 40 in the exterior nonwoven fabric 4, it is necessary to intermittently bond the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 cut into units of the individual wearing articles 1 to the resin sheet 27. Absent. Therefore, the wearing article 1 can be produced continuously and efficiently.
Moreover, since the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 has the notch 40, it is possible to reduce wrinkles around the waist and to improve air permeability. Further, when a pattern is provided on the non-skin surface side of the resin sheet 27, the number of sheets is reduced in the cutout portion 40. Therefore, it is easy to visually recognize the symbol as viewed from the outside.
In the present invention, the “notch” includes not only the case where the periphery of the notch formed in the exterior nonwoven fabric is completely surrounded by the exterior nonwoven fabric, but also the case where a part of the notch is not surrounded by the exterior nonwoven fabric. .

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the width in the width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction Y1 of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 for exterior is larger than that of the continuous resin sheet S27, and the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 is continuous resin sheet S27. Both

sides

41, 41 projecting to both sides in the width direction from each other, elastic members F1 extending and contracting in the longitudinal direction Y1 are arranged on both

sides

41, 41,
Here, the elastic member F1 is disposed along the longitudinal direction Y1 on both

side portions

41, 41 of the exterior continuous nonwoven fabric W4 before the perforating step, and both

side portions

41, 41 of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 are disposed. The method further includes the step of folding and joining the elastic member F1 to the continuous nonwoven fabric W4.

If it is going to arrange | position the elastic member F1 in the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 after forming the opening 401, the shape of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 will become easy to be distorted because the opening 401 was opened. As a result, it becomes difficult to arrange the elastic member F on the continuous nonwoven fabric W4.
On the other hand, in the case of the present embodiment, since the elastic member F1 is disposed on the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 before the opening 401 is formed, the elastic member F1 is easily disposed on the continuous nonwoven fabric W4. Therefore, the shape of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 in which the opening 401 is formed is easily stabilized. As a result, the finishing accuracy of the wearing article 1 is improved.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the

waistline members

3F and 3B cover the front part of the wearer's torso and extend in the waistline direction X, and cover the back part of the wearer's torso and the waistline direction. A rear waistline member 3B extending in X, and the absorbent body 2 is constructed between the front waistline member 3F and the rear waistline member 3B, and overlaps the front waistline member 3F and the rear waistline member 3B. Each of the portions 23 has the cutout portions 40,
In the perforating step, the pair of

openings

401, 401 are formed in a portion of the exterior continuous nonwoven fabric W4 covered by the laminated body W3F, W3B of the pair of continuous nonwoven fabrics that becomes the front waistline member 3F and the rear waistline member 3B. ,
In the second bonding step, the absorptive main body 2 is arranged so that the absorptive main body 2 is constructed between the pair of continuous nonwoven fabric laminates W3F and W3B.

In this embodiment, it is possible to continuously produce the wearing article 1 having the cutout portion 40 at a predetermined location of the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 corresponding to the overlapping portion 23 for both the front waistline member 3F and the rear waistline member 3B.

In still another embodiment of the present invention, the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 and the continuous resin sheet S27 in which the opening 401 is formed in the first bonding step are bonded and overlapped with a nip roll Nr,
Accumulating the continuous resin sheet S27 with an accumulator dancer roller 60;
Detecting a mark M attached at a predetermined pitch in the longitudinal direction of the continuous resin sheet S27 with a detector 63 disposed downstream of the dancer roller 60;
By controlling the rotation of the motor 65 of the drive roller 64 disposed downstream of the dancer roller 60 based on the detection information of the mark M, the conveyance speed of the continuous resin sheet S27 drawn from the dancer roller 60 is controlled to A step of matching the phases of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 for exterior and the continuous resin sheet S27 bonded to each other at the nip roller Nr.

In this embodiment, the mark M on the continuous resin sheet S27 is detected, and the phases of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 and the continuous resin sheet S27 are matched. Therefore, the position of the symbol and the position of the opening 401 are difficult to shift, and a large symbol can be arranged in the opening 401. Further, since the speed of the continuous resin sheet S27 is changed instead of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 in which the opening 401 is formed, the distortion of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 due to the opening 401 is unlikely to occur.

In this case, it is more preferable to further include a step of adjusting the tension of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 for exterior and the displacement in the width direction by the web guider 50 upstream of the hole cutter 51 forming the opening 401.

In addition, you may use the tape agent to which the fastening agent was apply | coated instead of a male surface fastener, and it is necessary to form the surface where the said fastening agent adheres easily in the said front waistline member 3F grade | etc.,.
Moreover, when the wearing article is a pants-type, the ends of the front waistline member 3F and the rear waistline member 3B in the waistline direction X may be welded to each other.

The non-skin surfaces of the

waist members

3F and 3B in FIG. 3 are formed of a nonwoven fabric.
In this specification, the “skin surface” refers to a surface that faces the wearer's skin when the wearing article 1 is worn, and the “non-skin surface” refers to a surface opposite to the skin surface.

Next, the main part of the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the overlapping portion 23, the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 is formed with a notch 40 whose periphery is completely surrounded by the exterior nonwoven fabric 4. Thereby, the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 does not cover the resin sheet 27 in the notch 40.
In addition, the said notch part 40 is window shape, and the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 continues in the loop shape in the circumference | surroundings.
Further, in this embodiment, for the sake of drawing, the notch 40 and the opening 401 to be the notch 40 are formed in a rectangular shape, but the shape as shown in FIG. It may be.

Next, a method for manufacturing the worn article 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 4A, the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 for exterior forming the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 is conveyed in the longitudinal direction Y1. While the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 is transported in the longitudinal direction Y1, the elastic member F1 is disposed along the longitudinal direction on both sides 41 of the continuous nonwoven fabric for exterior W4 before the drilling step described later, and Both side portions 41 of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 are folded back and the elastic member F1 is joined to the continuous nonwoven fabric W4.
The width in the width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction Y1 of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 for exterior is larger than that of the continuous resin sheet S27 forming the back sheet 27, and the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 extends from the continuous resin sheet S27 in the width direction. Both

side portions

41 and 41 projecting on both sides are provided. The elastic members F1 that extend and contract in the longitudinal direction Y1 are disposed on the

side portions

41, 41.
Moreover, although the said both sides 41 are folded after that and become the said cuff 25 (FIG. 1, FIG. 2C), the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

A drilling step of forming the opening 401 serving as the notch 40 in the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 for exterior is performed while conveying the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 in the longitudinal direction Y1 after the joining. In the perforating step, the pair of

openings

401 and 401 are formed in the exterior continuous nonwoven fabric W4 covered by the front waistline member 3F and the back waistline member 3B. After the perforating step, a continuous resin sheet S27 to be the back sheet 27 is pasted on the skin surface of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 for exterior, and the opening 401 is closed by the continuous resin sheet S27, and the first pasting is performed. The process is executed.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5, the absorbent core 24 is intermittently disposed and laminated between the continuous resin sheet S27 bonded to the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 and the continuous nonwoven fabric W26 forming the top sheet. The continuous laminated body W2 used as the absorptive main body 2 is produced | generated.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6, in order to obtain the said absorptive main body 2 of each wearing article 1 from the said continuous laminated body W2, the said continuous laminated body W2 is orthogonal to the said longitudinal direction Y1 (the waist direction X). ) Along a virtual cutting line C (FIG. 5).
That is, the said continuous laminated body W2 of FIG. 5 was cut off to the magnitude | size (unit) for every wearing article along the cutting line C shown with a dashed-two dotted line, and the absorptive property on which the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 of FIG. 6 was laminated | stacked A main body 2 is generated. The produced absorbent body 2 is turned 90 °.

After the swiveling, the absorbent main body 2 is laid on a continuous nonwoven fabric laminate W3F, W3B that becomes a pair of

waistline members

3F, 3B. During the erection, a second bonding step is performed in which the

waistline members

3F and 3B are stacked and bonded to the non-skin surface of the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 so that the cutout portion 40 is covered by the stacked bodies W3F and W3B. The

Next, details of the first bonding step in which the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 and the continuous resin sheet S27 are bonded will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the first bonding step, the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 in which the opening 401 is formed and the continuous resin sheet S27 are overlapped and bonded together by a nip roll Nr.

Upstream of the nip roll Nr, a web guider 50 and a hole cutter 51 are arranged in the conveying path of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4. The tension of W4 and the deviation in the width direction are adjusted. Thereafter, an opening 401 is formed between the hole cutter 51 and the anvil 52 in the continuous nonwoven fabric W4.

In the upstream of the nip roll Nr, a dancer roller 60,

free rollers

61 and 62, a detector 63, and a driving roller 64 are disposed in the conveyance path of the continuous resin sheet S27.

The conveyance speed of the continuous resin sheet S27 is adjusted by the accumulation dancer roller 60 and the drive roller 64 for temporarily accumulating the continuous resin sheet S27. That is, when the conveyance speed V of the continuous resin sheet S27 upstream of the nip roll Nr should be increased, the rotation speed of the motor 65 of the drive roller 64 is increased and the dancer roller 60 is lowered. As a result, the speed of the continuous resin sheet S27 fed from the dancer roller 60 to the nip roll Nr is increased.
On the other hand, when the conveyance speed V of the continuous resin sheet S27 upstream of the nip roll Nr should be reduced, the rotational speed of the motor 65 of the drive roller 64 is reduced and the dancer roller 60 is raised. As a result, the speed of the continuous resin sheet S27 fed from the dancer roller 60 to the nip roll Nr is reduced.

The detector 63 is arranged upstream of the driving roller 64 and downstream of the dancer roller 60, and detects the marks M attached at a predetermined pitch in the longitudinal direction of the continuous resin sheet S27 in FIG. 4A.

A control device (not shown) controls the number of rotations of the motor 65 of the driving roller 64 disposed downstream of the dancer roller 60 based on the detection information of the mark M. Thereby, the speed of the continuous resin sheet S27 drawn out from the dancer roller 60 is controlled, and the phases of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 for exterior and the continuous resin sheet S27 bonded together at the nip roll Nr are matched.
Thereby, the relative positional accuracy of the pattern 100 drawn on the resin sheet 27 of FIG. 3 and the opening 401 (notch 40) is maintained.

By the way, by forming the opening 401 in FIG. 4A in the continuous nonwoven fabric W4, the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 is easily constricted (deformed) in the vicinity of the opening 401 due to the tension acting on the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 during the conveyance of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4. . On the other hand, in this invention, the circumference | surroundings of each opening 401 are completely surrounded by the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 used as each exterior nonwoven fabric 4, and it is easy to prevent a deformation | transformation of the nonwoven fabric W4,4.
In particular, if the shape of the opening 401 is a hexagonal shape as shown in FIG. 4B and further provided with a radius in the opening 401, stress concentration is unlikely to occur in the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 in the opening 401, so the finished state of the worn article is improved. To do.

Example 2
9 to 13 show the second embodiment. Hereinafter, with respect to the second embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

In Example 1, the periphery of the notch 40 was completely surrounded by the exterior nonwoven fabric 4. However, in this embodiment of FIGS. 9 and 10, the periphery of the notch 40 is completely covered by the exterior nonwoven fabric 4. Is not surrounded.
As shown in FIG. 10, the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 is formed with a notch 40 that is recessed from the end in the longitudinal direction Y toward the center. The exterior nonwoven fabric 4 is not connected to the waistline direction X at the edge in the longitudinal direction Y, and is separated from each other in the waistline direction X with the cutout portion 40 interposed therebetween.
That is, both ends of the notch 40 in the waistline direction X are defined by the exterior nonwoven fabric 4, and the center side in the longitudinal direction Y of the notch 40 is defined by the exterior nonwoven fabric 4. In other words, the cutout portion 40 is surrounded by the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 on three sides excluding one end portion in the longitudinal direction Y of the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 and opens toward the longitudinal direction Y at the one end portion. .

Next, a method for manufacturing the wearing article 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 11, the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 for exterior forming the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 is conveyed in the longitudinal direction Y1. While the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 is transported in the longitudinal direction Y1, the elastic member F1 is disposed along the longitudinal direction on both sides 41 of the continuous nonwoven fabric for exterior W4 before the drilling step described later, and Both side portions 41 of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 are folded back and the elastic member F1 is joined to the continuous nonwoven fabric W4.

After the joining, a perforating process is performed in which the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 is conveyed in the longitudinal direction Y1, and the opening 401 to be the cutout portion 40 is formed in the exterior continuous nonwoven fabric W4. In the perforating step, the opening 401 is formed in a portion of the exterior continuous nonwoven fabric W4 covered by the front waistline member 3F and the back waistline member 3B. As will be described later, two notches 40 are formed from one opening 401. The shape of the opening 401 may be oval.
After the perforating step, a continuous resin sheet S27 to be the back sheet 27 is pasted on the skin surface of the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 for exterior, and the opening 401 is closed by the continuous resin sheet S27, and the first pasting is performed. The process is executed.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 12, the absorbent core 24 is intermittently disposed between the continuous resin sheet S27 bonded to the continuous nonwoven fabric W4 (FIG. 11) and the continuous nonwoven fabric W26 forming the top sheet. The continuous laminated body W2 used as the absorptive main body 2 is produced | generated by laminating | stacking.

Then, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, in order to obtain the said absorptive main body 2 of each wearing article 1 from the said continuous laminated body W2, the said laminated body W2 is the width direction orthogonal to the said longitudinal direction Y1 ( It cut | disconnects one after another along the virtual cutting line C (FIG. 12) extended in the trunk periphery direction X).
That is, the said continuous laminated body W2 of FIG. 12 was cut out to the magnitude | size (unit) for every wearing article along the cutting line C shown with a dashed-two dotted line, and the absorptive property on which the exterior nonwoven fabric 4 of FIG. 13 was laminated | stacked A main body 2 is generated.
As shown in FIG. 12, the cutting line C extends in the width direction X so as to cross the opening 401. By cutting the continuous laminated body W2 one after another at the cutting line C, two

different notches

40, 40 are formed from one opening 401. That is, in the absorbent main body 2 adjacent to the longitudinal direction Y1 by the cutting step, the notch 40 (FIG. 10) covered with one of the

waist members

3F or 3B of the preceding absorbent main body 2 and the next absorption. The notch 40 covered with the other of the

waist members

3B or 3F of the sex main body 2 is formed at the same time.
As shown in FIG. 13, after the generation, the absorbent body 2 is turned 90 °.

waistline members

3F, 3B. During the erection, a second bonding step is performed in which the

waistline members

Other configurations and processes of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

In the case of a continuous pattern as shown in FIG. 8, the above-described positional accuracy may be low.
