Description

積層フィルムの製造方法および製造装置Laminated film manufacturing method and manufacturing equipment
 本発明は、積層フィルムの製造技術に関する。 The present invention relates to a technology for manufacturing laminated films.
 延伸樹脂フィルムの表面に、特定の機能を実現する塗工液を塗布することで塗工層を設け、これを乾燥させることにより、表面に様々な機能を有する積層フィルムを形成することが知られている。 It is known that a coating layer is provided on the surface of a stretched resin film by applying a coating liquid that achieves a specific function, and by drying this layer, a laminated film with various functions is formed on the surface. ing.
 また、例えば重合性化合物と重合開始剤や、カップリング剤およびこれと反応する有機・無機化合物など、反応性の高い2以上の成分を含む塗工液をフィルム表面に塗工し、塗工層中で反応させることにより、反応生成物を含む表面層を形成することも行なわれている。 In addition, a coating solution containing two or more highly reactive components, such as a polymerizable compound and a polymerization initiator, a coupling agent, and an organic/inorganic compound that reacts with the same, is applied to the film surface to form a coating layer. Formation of a surface layer containing a reaction product has also been carried out by causing the reaction to occur inside the substrate.
 塗工液をフィルムに塗布する手法としては、例えば、塗布ローラに液体を供給し、フィルムに当接させた当該塗布ローラをフィルムの搬送に合わせて回転させることで、液体をフィルムに塗布するロールコーターが知られている。 A method for applying a coating liquid to a film is, for example, by supplying the liquid to a coating roller and rotating the coating roller in contact with the film in accordance with the conveyance of the film, thereby applying the liquid to the film. Coater is known.
 ロールコーターとしては、例えばリバースグラビアコーターが知られている。リバースグラビアコーターは、彫刻されたロール(グラビアロール)に塗工液を付けて、主にブレードでグラビアロールの表面を掻き取り、彫刻のくぼみに溜まった塗工液をフィルムに転写して塗工層を形成するコーターである。 For example, a reverse gravure coater is known as a roll coater. A reverse gravure coater applies a coating liquid to an engraved roll (gravure roll), scrapes the surface of the gravure roll mainly with a blade, and transfers the coating liquid accumulated in the grooves of the engraving onto the film for coating. It is a coater that forms layers.

 しかしながら、このような従来の積層フィルムの製造方法において、反応性の高い2以上の成分を含む塗工液を用いる場合、塗工液を調液してから塗布ローラに供給するまでに時間がかかり、その間に成分が反応することにより、塗工性が低下したり、成分が失活するという問題が生じる場合がある。 However, in such conventional methods for producing laminated films, when a coating liquid containing two or more highly reactive components is used, it takes time to prepare the coating liquid and supply it to the coating roller. During this time, the components may react, which may cause problems such as reduced coating properties or deactivation of the components.
 本発明の目的の一つは、積層フィルムに複数の相互反応性成分を含む塗工液を効率的に塗工することである。 One of the objects of the present invention is to efficiently apply a coating liquid containing a plurality of mutually reactive components to a laminated film.
 このため、この積層フィルムの製造方法は、基材層上に塗工層が形成された積層フィルムの製造方法であって、前記基材層を搬送しつつ、前記基材層に対向する第1の位置において、前記基材層の幅方向に配置された第1ノズル列から前記基材層に第1の塗工液を吐出して第1の塗工層形成する第一塗工工程と、前記第1の位置よりも下流側であり、且つ、前記第1の塗工層に対向する第2の位置において、前記基材層の幅方向に配置された第2ノズル列から前記第1の塗工層表面に第2の塗工液を吐出する第二塗工工程とを備える。 Therefore, this method for manufacturing a laminated film is a method for manufacturing a laminated film in which a coating layer is formed on a base layer, and the method includes transporting the base layer while transporting the first layer facing the base layer. a first coating step of discharging a first coating liquid onto the base layer from a first nozzle array arranged in the width direction of the base layer to form a first coat layer at the position; At a second position downstream of the first position and facing the first coating layer, a second nozzle array arranged in the width direction of the base layer to the first and a second coating step of discharging a second coating liquid onto the surface of the coating layer.
 一実施形態によれば、複数の相互反応性成分を含む塗工液をフィルム表面に塗工する場合に、前記相互反応成分を第1および第2の塗工液に分けて配合し、第一および第二塗工工程にて順次塗工することにより、塗工層中で両成分を反応させ、所望の塗工層を得ることができる。すなわち、複数の相互反応性成分を同一液相中に長時間保持する必要がないため、塗工前に両成分が反応して塗工性が低下したり、塗工前に成分が失活することを防ぐことができ、積層フィルムに複数の相互反応性成分を含む塗工液を効率的に塗工することができる。 According to one embodiment, when coating a film surface with a coating liquid containing a plurality of mutually reactive components, the mutually reactive components are separately blended into a first and a second coating liquid, and the first By sequentially coating the two components in the second coating step, both components are allowed to react in the coating layer, and a desired coating layer can be obtained. In other words, since it is not necessary to hold multiple mutually reactive components in the same liquid phase for a long time, both components may react before coating, resulting in decreased coating properties or deactivation of components before coating. This makes it possible to efficiently coat the laminated film with a coating liquid containing a plurality of mutually reactive components.

 図1に例示する積層フィルム製造システム1は、原料サイロ10a,10b,造粒機11,ペレットサイロ12,押出機13,縦延伸装置14,横延伸装置16およびインクジェット吐出装置30a,30bを備える。 The laminated film manufacturing system 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 includes raw material silos 10a, 10b, a granulator 11, a pellet silo 12, an extruder 13, a longitudinal stretching device 14, a lateral stretching device 16, and inkjet discharging devices 30a, 30b.
 積層フィルム製造システム1を構成する、これらの原料サイロ10a,10b,造粒機11,ペレットサイロ12,押出機13,縦延伸装置14,横延伸装置16およびインクジェット吐出装置30a,30bのそれぞれは、積層フィルム100を製造するための製造工程を実現する。 Each of these raw material silos 10a, 10b, granulator 11, pellet silo 12, extruder 13, longitudinal stretching device 14, lateral stretching device 16, and inkjet discharging device 30a, 30b, which constitute the laminated film manufacturing system 1, A manufacturing process for manufacturing the laminated film 100 is realized.
 原料サイロ10a,10bには、積層フィルム100の原料が格納される。積層フィルム100の原料は、例えば、熱可塑性樹脂、フィラーおよび任意の添加剤などである。なお図1における原料サイロの数は2だが、必要な数を設ければよい。 Raw materials for the laminated film 100 are stored in the raw material silos 10a and 10b. Raw materials for the laminated film 100 include, for example, a thermoplastic resin, filler, and optional additives. Although the number of raw material silos in FIG. 1 is two, it is sufficient to provide as many as necessary.
 積層フィルム100の原料には、積層フィルム100の成形時の断裁工程等で発生した端材を加工して生成されるリサイクル素材を含めてもよい。 The raw materials for the laminated film 100 may include recycled materials produced by processing scraps generated during the cutting process during molding of the laminated film 100.
 原料サイロ10a,10b内に格納された原料は、造粒機11に投入される。 The raw materials stored in the raw material silos 10a and 10b are fed into the granulator 11.
 造粒機11は、原料の熱可塑性樹脂に、必要に応じてフィラーや各種添加剤等を加えて、樹脂組成物のペレットを生成する。 The granulator 11 adds fillers, various additives, and the like to the raw material thermoplastic resin as necessary to produce pellets of the resin composition.
 ペレットサイロ12は、造粒機11によって生成されたペレットを格納する。ペレットサイロ12は自身に格納するペレットを押出機13に供給する。 The pellet silo 12 stores the pellets produced by the granulator 11. The pellet silo 12 supplies the pellets stored therein to the extruder 13.
 押出機13は、図示しない押出機ダイから、溶融された樹脂組成物をシートの形状で押し出し、キャストフィルム層である基層101を生成する。 The extruder 13 extrudes the molten resin composition in the form of a sheet from an extruder die (not shown) to produce a base layer 101 that is a cast film layer.
 押出機13はキャストフィルム層である基層101を形成するものであり、図示しない押出機ダイから、溶融された樹脂組成物をシートの形状で押し出す。押出機13から押し出された基層101、すなわちキャストフィルム層は、図示しない搬送ローラ等により搬送され、後述する縦延伸装置14に供給される。以下、図中の黒太矢印は基層101の流れ方向を示す。 The extruder 13 forms the base layer 101, which is a cast film layer, and extrudes the molten resin composition in the form of a sheet from an extruder die (not shown). The base layer 101, that is, the cast film layer extruded from the extruder 13, is transported by a transport roller (not shown) or the like, and is supplied to a longitudinal stretching device 14, which will be described later. Hereinafter, thick black arrows in the figures indicate the flow direction of the base layer 101.
 縦延伸装置14は、押出機13から押し出された基層101、すなわちキャストフィルム層の流れ方向(搬送方向)における下流位置に配置されている。 The longitudinal stretching device 14 is disposed at a downstream position in the flow direction (transportation direction) of the base layer 101 extruded from the extruder 13, that is, the cast film layer.
 縦延伸装置14は、押出機13から押し出された基層101、すなわちキャストフィルム層を、当該基層101の流れ方向に延伸させる。以下、基層101の流れ方向(搬送方向)を縦方向といってよい。縦方向は第1の方向に相当する。 The longitudinal stretching device 14 stretches the base layer 101 extruded from the extruder 13, that is, the cast film layer, in the flow direction of the base layer 101. Hereinafter, the flow direction (conveyance direction) of the base layer 101 may be referred to as the longitudinal direction. The vertical direction corresponds to the first direction.
 縦延伸装置14は、基層101(キャストフィルム層)を縦方向(第1の方向)に延伸する第1延伸装置に相当する。また、縦延伸装置14は、基層101(キャストフィルム層)を縦方向(第1の方向)に延伸する第1延伸工程を実現する。 The longitudinal stretching device 14 corresponds to a first stretching device that stretches the base layer 101 (cast film layer) in the longitudinal direction (first direction). Further, the longitudinal stretching device 14 realizes a first stretching step of stretching the base layer 101 (cast film layer) in the longitudinal direction (first direction).
 縦延伸装置14においては、例えば、縦延伸方向と直交する方向に複数(図1に示す例では3つ)の搬送ローラが互いに平行に配設されている。そして、これらの搬送ローラ間において、例えば、搬送ローラの周速に差をつけることでキャストフィルム層に縦方向の張力をかけ、該層を縦方向に延伸させる。すなわち、縦延伸装置14は、ロール群の周速差を利用したロール間延伸を行なってもよい。 In the longitudinal stretching device 14, for example, a plurality of (three in the example shown in FIG. 1) conveyance rollers are arranged parallel to each other in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal stretching direction. Then, by making a difference in the peripheral speed of the conveying rollers, for example, a longitudinal tension is applied to the cast film layer between these conveying rollers, and the layer is stretched in the longitudinal direction. That is, the longitudinal stretching device 14 may perform inter-roll stretching using the difference in circumferential speed between the roll groups.
 延伸を実施するときの延伸温度は、使用する熱可塑性樹脂が非晶性樹脂の場合、当該熱可塑性樹脂のガラス転移点温度以上の範囲であることが好ましい。また、熱可塑性樹脂が結晶性樹脂の場合の延伸温度は、当該熱可塑性樹脂の非結晶部分のガラス転移点以上であって、かつ当該熱可塑性樹脂の結晶部分の融点以下の範囲内であることが好ましく、熱可塑性樹脂の融点よりも2~60℃低い温度が好ましい。具体的には、プロピレン単独重合体(融点155℃~167℃)の場合は100℃~164℃の延伸温度が好ましく、高密度ポリエチレン樹脂(融点121℃~134℃)の場合は70~133℃の延伸温度が好ましい。 When the thermoplastic resin used is an amorphous resin, the stretching temperature during stretching is preferably in a range equal to or higher than the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin. In addition, when the thermoplastic resin is a crystalline resin, the stretching temperature must be within a range that is above the glass transition point of the amorphous portion of the thermoplastic resin and below the melting point of the crystalline portion of the thermoplastic resin. The temperature is preferably 2 to 60°C lower than the melting point of the thermoplastic resin. Specifically, a stretching temperature of 100°C to 164°C is preferable for propylene homopolymer (melting point 155°C to 167°C), and a stretching temperature of 70°C to 133°C for high density polyethylene resin (melting point 121°C to 134°C). A stretching temperature of .
 延伸速度は、特に限定されるものではないが、安定した延伸成形の観点から、20m/分~350m/分の範囲内であることが好ましい。 The stretching speed is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of stable stretching and forming, it is preferably within the range of 20 m/min to 350 m/min.
 また、延伸倍率についても、使用する熱可塑性樹脂の特性等を考慮して適宜決定することができ、例えばプロピレン系樹脂を使用して2軸延伸する場合、延伸倍率は、面積延伸倍率で、下限が通常1.5倍以上、好ましくは4倍以上であり、上限が通常60倍以下、好ましくは50倍以下である。 In addition, the stretching ratio can be determined as appropriate by considering the characteristics of the thermoplastic resin used. For example, when biaxially stretching is performed using a propylene resin, the stretching ratio is the area stretching ratio, and the lower limit is usually 1.5 times or more, preferably 4 times or more, and the upper limit is usually 60 times or less, preferably 50 times or less.
 図2は実施形態の一例としての積層フィルム製造システム1の縦延伸装置14の構成例を模式的に示す図である。 FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing a configuration example of the longitudinal stretching device 14 of the laminated film manufacturing system 1 as an example of an embodiment.
 この図2に示す例においては、4つの搬送ローラ141a,141b,141c,141dが、互いの回転軸が平行になるように、各回転軸を縦方向と直交させた状態で配設されている。4つの搬送ローラ141a,141b,141c,141dは、基層101の流れ方向に沿って、搬送ローラ141a,搬送ローラ141b,搬送ローラ141c,搬送ローラ141dの順で配置されている。以下、搬送ローラ141a,141b,141c,141dを特に区別しない場合には、搬送ローラ141と表記する。 In the example shown in FIG. 2, four conveyance rollers 141a, 141b, 141c, and 141d are arranged with their rotation axes perpendicular to the longitudinal direction so that their rotation axes are parallel to each other. . The four conveyance rollers 141a, 141b, 141c, and 141d are arranged along the flow direction of the base layer 101 in the following order: conveyance roller 141a, conveyance roller 141b, conveyance roller 141c, and conveyance roller 141d. Hereinafter, if the conveyance rollers 141a, 141b, 141c, and 141d are not particularly distinguished, they will be referred to as conveyance rollers 141.
 これらの各搬送ローラ141は、図示しない駆動モータにより回転軸を中心に回転可能に構成されており、それぞれ基層101に当接した状態で、基層101の流れに沿う方向に回転する。 Each of these conveyance rollers 141 is configured to be rotatable around a rotating shaft by a drive motor (not shown), and rotates in a direction along the flow of the base layer 101 while in contact with the base layer 101.
 また、各搬送ローラ141においては、基層101の流れ方向における下流に配置された搬送ローラ141ほど周速が速くなるよう駆動モータの回転速度の制御が行なわれる。これにより、隣り合う搬送ローラ141間において基層101の流れ方向に沿って基層101に張力が発生し、基層101が縦方向に延伸される。 Further, in each conveyance roller 141, the rotational speed of the drive motor is controlled such that the peripheral speed of the conveyance roller 141 disposed downstream in the flow direction of the base layer 101 is faster. As a result, tension is generated in the base layer 101 between adjacent conveyance rollers 141 along the flow direction of the base layer 101, and the base layer 101 is stretched in the longitudinal direction.
 また、基層101の搬送経路上には、図示しない他の搬送ローラも備えられ、基層101を下流側に搬送する。これらの搬送ローラが、基層(基材層)101を搬送する搬送装置に相当する。縦延伸装置14によって縦方向への延伸が行なわれた基層101は、次工程である横延伸装置16に搬送される。 Further, other conveyance rollers (not shown) are also provided on the conveyance path of the base layer 101 to convey the base layer 101 to the downstream side. These conveyance rollers correspond to a conveyance device that conveys the base layer (base material layer) 101. The base layer 101 that has been stretched in the longitudinal direction by the longitudinal stretching device 14 is conveyed to the horizontal stretching device 16, which is the next step.
 横延伸装置16は、縦延伸装置14の下流に配置されている。 The transverse stretching device 16 is arranged downstream of the longitudinal stretching device 14.
 横延伸装置16は、縦延伸装置14が延伸させた基層101(第1延伸層)を、縦方向と直交する方向(横方向,幅方向)に延伸させる。横方向は第2の方向に相当する。 The transverse stretching device 16 stretches the base layer 101 (first stretched layer) stretched by the longitudinal stretching device 14 in a direction (lateral direction, width direction) orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. The lateral direction corresponds to the second direction.
 横延伸装置16は、基層101(第1延伸層)を、縦方向(第1の方向)と直交する横方向(幅方向,第2の方向)に延伸する第2延伸装置に相当する。また、横延伸装置16は、縦延伸装置14が延伸させた基層101(第1延伸層)を、縦方向(第1の方向)と直交する横方向(幅方向,第2の方向)に延伸する第2延伸工程を実現する。 The lateral stretching device 16 corresponds to a second stretching device that stretches the base layer 101 (first stretched layer) in the lateral direction (width direction, second direction) orthogonal to the longitudinal direction (first direction). Further, the lateral stretching device 16 stretches the base layer 101 (first stretched layer) stretched by the longitudinal stretching device 14 in the lateral direction (width direction, second direction) orthogonal to the longitudinal direction (first direction). A second stretching process is realized.
 なお、第2延伸工程でも、第1延伸工程と同様に、使用する熱可塑性樹脂の種類に応じた延伸温度に基層101を加熱し、延伸を行なう。 Note that in the second stretching step, as in the first stretching step, the base layer 101 is heated to a stretching temperature depending on the type of thermoplastic resin used, and stretching is performed.
 図3は実施形態の一例としての積層フィルム製造システム1の横延伸装置16の構成例を模式的に示す図である。 FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing a configuration example of the lateral stretching device 16 of the laminated film manufacturing system 1 as an example of an embodiment.
 横延伸装置16は、第1延伸層である基層101の縁辺を把持する複数(図3に示す例では6つ)のクリップ161を備える。これらのクリップ161は、基層101の二つの縁辺のそれぞれにおける基層101を介して対向する位置において、対をなすように配置されている。図3に示す例においては、基層101の流れ方向に沿って3対のクリップ161が備えられている。 The lateral stretching device 16 includes a plurality of (six in the example shown in FIG. 3) clips 161 that grip the edges of the base layer 101, which is the first stretched layer. These clips 161 are arranged in pairs at opposing positions on each of the two edges of the base layer 101 with the base layer 101 interposed therebetween. In the example shown in FIG. 3, three pairs of clips 161 are provided along the flow direction of the base layer 101.
 これらの複数のクリップ161において、基層101を挟んで対向する位置に備えられたクリップ161の対は、それぞれ基層101の縁辺部を把持した状態で、互いに遠ざかる方向に移動することで、基層101、すなわち第1延伸層を横方向(幅方向)に引っ張り延伸させる。 In these plurality of clips 161, the pairs of clips 161 provided at opposite positions with the base layer 101 in between are moved in a direction away from each other while gripping the edge portions of the base layer 101, so that the base layer 101, That is, the first stretched layer is pulled and stretched in the lateral direction (width direction).
 基層101を把持するクリップ161は、基層101の搬送に追従して流れ方向に移動しながら基層101を幅方向に延伸させ、所定の位置において基層101を解放する。その後、各クリップ161は、基層101の搬送方向における上流位置に戻り、再度基層101を把持する。このように、横延伸装置16においては、複数のクリップ161を用いて、基層101の把持、延伸、解放を繰り返し行なうことで、基層101を横方向に延伸させる。すなわち、横延伸装置16は、テンターオーブンを利用したクリップ延伸を行なう。横延伸装置16によって横方向への延伸が行なわれた基層101は、次工程であるインクジェット吐出装置30a,30bに搬送される。 The clip 161 that grips the base layer 101 stretches the base layer 101 in the width direction while moving in the flow direction following the conveyance of the base layer 101, and releases the base layer 101 at a predetermined position. After that, each clip 161 returns to the upstream position in the transport direction of the base layer 101 and grips the base layer 101 again. In this way, in the lateral stretching device 16, the base layer 101 is stretched in the lateral direction by repeatedly gripping, stretching, and releasing the base layer 101 using the plurality of clips 161. That is, the lateral stretching device 16 performs clip stretching using a tenter oven. The base layer 101 that has been stretched in the lateral direction by the lateral stretching device 16 is conveyed to the inkjet ejection devices 30a and 30b, which is the next step.
 横延伸装置16の下流位置には、複数(図1に示す例においては2つ)のインクジェット吐出装置30a,30bが備えられている。インクジェット吐出装置30bは、基層101の流れ方向におけるインクジェット吐出装置30aの下流位置に並べて配置されている。インクジェット吐出装置30aを第1インクジェット吐出装置30aといってもよい。また、インクジェット吐出装置30bを第2インクジェット吐出装置30bといってもよい。 A plurality of (two in the example shown in FIG. 1) inkjet ejection devices 30a and 30b are provided downstream of the lateral stretching device 16. The inkjet discharge devices 30b are arranged side by side at downstream positions of the inkjet discharge devices 30a in the flow direction of the base layer 101. The inkjet discharge device 30a may also be referred to as a first inkjet discharge device 30a. Further, the inkjet discharge device 30b may be referred to as a second inkjet discharge device 30b.
 インクジェット吐出装置30a,30bは、横延伸装置16が延伸させ、縦方向(流れ方向)に搬送される基層101(基材層)の表面にそれぞれ塗工液を吐出することで、基層101の第1の面(表面)に均一な塗工層を形成する。 The inkjet ejecting devices 30a and 30b each eject a coating liquid onto the surface of the base layer 101 (base material layer) that is stretched by the lateral stretching device 16 and conveyed in the longitudinal direction (flow direction), thereby forming the first layer of the base layer 101. A uniform coating layer is formed on one side (surface).
 インクジェット吐出装置30aは第1の塗工液を吐出し、インクジェット吐出装置30bは第2の塗工液を吐出する。第1の塗工液が乾燥する前に、第2の塗工液を吐出することにより、これら第1の塗工液と第2の塗工液とが基層101上で混合されることで、基層101上に混合液の層(混合液層)が形成される。第1の塗工液に含まれる成分と、第2の塗工液に含まれる成分とが相互に反応性を有する成分である場合、第1の塗工液と第2の塗工液とを混合させた混合液中で両成分が反応し、この混合液が基層101上において乾燥(硬化)され、機能性材料としての機能を実現する。 The inkjet discharge device 30a discharges the first coating liquid, and the inkjet discharge device 30b discharges the second coating liquid. By discharging the second coating liquid before the first coating liquid dries, the first coating liquid and the second coating liquid are mixed on the base layer 101. A layer of the mixed liquid (mixed liquid layer) is formed on the base layer 101 . When the components contained in the first coating liquid and the components contained in the second coating liquid are mutually reactive, the first coating liquid and the second coating liquid Both components react in the mixed liquid, and this mixed liquid is dried (cured) on the base layer 101 to realize the function as a functional material.
 第1の塗工液と第2の塗工液とに含まれる相互反応性成分の組み合わせは、高い反応性を有するものであることが望ましい。例えば、光重合性化合物と光重合開始剤との組み合わせ、架橋性化合物と架橋剤との組合せ、ウレタン等の樹脂とカップリング剤との組み合わせ、エポキシ樹脂とアミン系硬化剤との組み合わせなどが挙げられる。また、第1の塗工液と第2の塗工液とに含まれる、相互反応性成分の組み合わせはこれら以外であってもよく、適宜変更して実施することができる。 It is desirable that the combination of mutually reactive components contained in the first coating liquid and the second coating liquid has high reactivity. Examples include combinations of photopolymerizable compounds and photopolymerization initiators, combinations of crosslinkable compounds and crosslinking agents, combinations of resins such as urethane and coupling agents, and combinations of epoxy resins and amine curing agents. It will be done. Further, the combination of mutually reactive components contained in the first coating liquid and the second coating liquid may be other than these, and may be appropriately changed and implemented.
 上述の如く、インクジェット吐出装置30bは、基層101の流れ方向におけるインクジェット吐出装置30aの下流位置に配置されている。従って、インクジェット吐出装置30bは、インクジェット吐出装置30aが基層101上に第1の塗工液を吐出して形成した第1の塗工層表面に、第2の塗工液を吐出する。これにより、基層101上において、第1の塗工液と第2の塗工液とが混合され、2液混合型の混合液の塗工層が形成される。 As described above, the inkjet discharge device 30b is arranged downstream of the inkjet discharge device 30a in the flow direction of the base layer 101. Therefore, the inkjet discharge device 30b discharges the second coating liquid onto the surface of the first coating layer formed by discharging the first coating liquid onto the base layer 101 by the inkjet discharge device 30a. As a result, the first coating liquid and the second coating liquid are mixed on the base layer 101, and a coating layer of a two-component mixed liquid is formed.
 以下、インクジェット吐出装置30a,30bを特に区別しない場合には、インクジェット吐出装置30と表記する。 Hereinafter, when the inkjet ejection devices 30a and 30b are not particularly distinguished, they will be referred to as an inkjet ejection device 30.
 インクジェット吐出装置30は、基層101(基材層)の搬送方向(縦方向)と直交する直交方向(横方向)に設けられたノズル列から基層101に塗工液を吐出して塗工層102を形成する塗工工程を実現する。ノズル列は、複数のノズルを列状に配置することで形成される。 The inkjet discharge device 30 discharges a coating liquid onto the base layer 101 from a nozzle array provided in a direction (horizontal direction) orthogonal to the conveyance direction (vertical direction) of the base layer 101 (base material layer) to form the coating layer 102. Realizes a coating process that forms A nozzle row is formed by arranging a plurality of nozzles in a row.
 図4は実施形態の一例としての積層フィルム製造システム1のインクジェット吐出装置30a,30bを説明するための図である。 FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining inkjet ejection devices 30a and 30b of the laminated film manufacturing system 1 as an example of an embodiment.
 インクジェット吐出装置30a,30bは、それぞれ基層101の表面に対向する位置において、幅方向に沿って配置される。インクジェット吐出装置30bは、基層101の流れ方向におけるインクジェット吐出装置30aの下流位置において、インクジェット吐出装置30aに並べて配置されている。 The inkjet ejection devices 30a and 30b are arranged along the width direction at positions facing the surface of the base layer 101, respectively. The inkjet discharge device 30b is arranged in line with the inkjet discharge device 30a at a downstream position of the inkjet discharge device 30a in the flow direction of the base layer 101.
 図4においては、インクジェット吐出装置30aが基層101上に第1の塗工液を吐出して形成した第1の塗工層に符号102aを付して表し、インクジェット吐出装置30bが第1の塗工層102a上に第2の塗工液を吐出して形成した第2の塗工層に符号102bを付して表す。なお第2の塗工層102bは、第1の塗工液と第2の塗工液との混合液層であり、第1の塗工液に含まれる成分と、第2の塗工液に含まれる成分の反応生成物とを含有していてもよい。 In FIG. 4, the first coating layer formed by the inkjet discharging device 30a discharging the first coating liquid onto the base layer 101 is denoted by the reference numeral 102a, and the inkjet discharging device 30b represents the first coating layer formed by discharging the first coating liquid onto the base layer 101. The second coating layer formed by discharging the second coating liquid onto the coating layer 102a is designated by the reference numeral 102b. Note that the second coating layer 102b is a mixed liquid layer of the first coating liquid and the second coating liquid, and contains components contained in the first coating liquid and the second coating liquid. It may also contain reaction products of the contained components.
 また、インクジェット吐出装置30bの下流位置には、図示しない逆回転ローラが配置されていてもよい。 Further, a reverse rotation roller (not shown) may be arranged downstream of the inkjet discharge device 30b.
 逆回転ローラは、基層101の表面に当接した状態で、搬送される基層101の流れ方向とは逆方向に回転することで、基層101の表面に形成された第1の塗工層102aと第2の塗工層102bとを混合させ、混合液層を生成する。 The reverse rotation roller rotates in a direction opposite to the flow direction of the base layer 101 being conveyed while being in contact with the surface of the base layer 101, thereby rotating the first coating layer 102a formed on the surface of the base layer 101. The second coating layer 102b is mixed to generate a mixed liquid layer.
 以下、塗工層102a,102bを特に区別しない場合には、塗工層102と表記する。 Hereinafter, if the coating layers 102a and 102b are not particularly distinguished, they will be referred to as coating layers 102.
 また、基層101の搬送経路上において、インクジェット吐出装置30bの配置を任意に設定してよい。 Further, the arrangement of the inkjet ejection device 30b may be arbitrarily set on the transport path of the base layer 101.
 図5は実施形態の一例としての積層フィルム製造システム1のインクジェット吐出装置30a,30bの配置を例示する図である。 FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the arrangement of the inkjet ejection devices 30a and 30b of the laminated film manufacturing system 1 as an example of an embodiment.
 図5中において、符号(A)は、インクジェット吐出装置30aとインクジェット吐出装置30bとを隣接するように並べて配置する例を示す。 In FIG. 5, the symbol (A) indicates an example in which the inkjet ejection device 30a and the inkjet ejection device 30b are arranged side by side so as to be adjacent to each other.
 このように、基層101の搬送経路上において、インクジェット吐出装置30aとインクジェット吐出装置30bとを隣接させて、基層101上に第2の塗工層102b(混合液層)を形成する位置を基層101の搬送経路におけるなるべく上流に配置することで、基層101の搬送過程で第2の塗工層102b乾燥(硬化)させることができる。 In this way, on the transport path of the base layer 101, the inkjet ejection device 30a and the inkjet ejection device 30b are made adjacent to each other, and the position where the second coating layer 102b (mixed liquid layer) is formed on the base layer 101 is set on the base layer 101. By arranging it as upstream as possible in the conveyance path, the second coating layer 102b can be dried (cured) during the conveyance process of the base layer 101.
 また、図5中において、符号(B)は、インクジェット吐出装置30aとインクジェット吐出装置30bとを離隔させて配置する例を示す。インクジェット吐出装置30aとインクジェット吐出装置30bとは所定の閾値以上離して配置されている。 Further, in FIG. 5, the symbol (B) indicates an example in which the inkjet ejection device 30a and the inkjet ejection device 30b are arranged apart from each other. The inkjet ejection device 30a and the inkjet ejection device 30b are arranged apart from each other by a predetermined threshold value or more.
 例えば、第1の塗工層102aに第2の塗工液を混合させることでガスが発生する場合に、インクジェット吐出装置30bの配置を換気設備(図示省略)の近くに配置することで、発生するガスを効率的に処理することができる。閾値は、例えば、インクジェット吐出装置30aと換気設備の位置とに基づいて相対的に設定してよい。 For example, if gas is generated by mixing the second coating liquid with the first coating layer 102a, the gas can be generated by arranging the inkjet ejection device 30b near ventilation equipment (not shown). gas can be efficiently processed. The threshold value may be set relatively based on, for example, the position of the inkjet discharge device 30a and the ventilation equipment.
 また、インクジェット吐出装置30bの設置位置を、インクジェット吐出装置30aとインクジェット吐出装置30bと間の搬送経路距離(L)が、インクジェット吐出装置30aによって形成された塗工層102aが乾燥するまでにかかる時間(T)と、基層101の搬送速度(V)とに基づき、条件L<V×Tを満たすように設定してもよい。これにより、インクジェット吐出装置30aによる第一塗工工程後、塗工層102a(第1の塗工層)が乾燥する前に、インクジェット吐出装置30bによる第二塗工工程を実施することができる。 In addition, the installation position of the inkjet discharge device 30b, the conveyance path distance (L) between the inkjet discharge device 30a and the inkjet discharge device 30b, and the time required for the coating layer 102a formed by the inkjet discharge device 30a to dry. (T) and the transport speed (V) of the base layer 101, the condition may be set to satisfy the condition L<V×T. Thereby, after the first coating process by the inkjet discharge device 30a, the second coating process by the inkjet discharge device 30b can be performed before the coating layer 102a (first coating layer) dries.
 インクジェット吐出装置30において、基層101と対向する位置には、複数のインクジェットヘッド310(図7等参照)が配置されている。 In the inkjet discharge device 30, a plurality of inkjet heads 310 (see FIG. 7, etc.) are arranged at a position facing the base layer 101.
 各インクジェットヘッド310には、基層101と対向する位置に、塗工液を粒子状に吐出する複数のインクジェットノズル(吐出口)が形成されている。インクジェットヘッド310において、複数のインクジェットノズルが列を成すように形成されてもよい。 Each inkjet head 310 has a plurality of inkjet nozzles (discharge ports) formed at positions facing the base layer 101 that discharge the coating liquid in the form of particles. In the inkjet head 310, a plurality of inkjet nozzles may be formed in a row.
 インクジェットノズルを単にノズルといってもよい。また、インクジェットヘッド310に形成された複数のノズルの列をノズル列といってもよい。インクジェットヘッド310には1つ以上のノズル列が形成されてもよい。 An inkjet nozzle may simply be called a nozzle. Furthermore, a row of multiple nozzles formed in the inkjet head 310 may also be referred to as a nozzle row. One or more nozzle rows may be formed in the inkjet head 310.
 図6は実施形態の一例としての積層フィルム製造システム1のインクジェット吐出装置30のインクジェットヘッド310のノズル列を例示する図である。 FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a nozzle array of the inkjet head 310 of the inkjet discharge device 30 of the laminated film manufacturing system 1 as an example of the embodiment.
 インクジェットヘッド310における基層101と対向する位置には複数のノズル(インクジェットノズル)が形成されている。
 図6中において、インクジェットヘッド310に形成されたノズルを黒丸で表す。図6において、符号(A)はインクジェットヘッド310に一列のノズル列が形成された例を示し、符号(B)はインクジェットヘッド310に2列のノズル列が形成された例を示す。
A plurality of nozzles (inkjet nozzles) are formed in the inkjet head 310 at positions facing the base layer 101.
In FIG. 6, the nozzles formed in the inkjet head 310 are represented by black circles. In FIG. 6, symbol (A) shows an example in which one nozzle row is formed in the inkjet head 310, and symbol (B) shows an example in which two nozzle rows are formed in the inkjet head 310.
 インクジェットヘッド310における各ノズルの塗工液の吐出は、塗工制御部400(図4参照)により制御される。塗工制御部400は、各インクジェットヘッド310のそれぞれにおけるノズルからの塗工液の吐出を制御する。例えば、塗工制御部400は、個々のインクジェットノズルに対する吐出のオン/オフを切り替える制御を行なうことで、塗工液の吐出量を精密に制御することができる。 The ejection of the coating liquid from each nozzle in the inkjet head 310 is controlled by a coating control section 400 (see FIG. 4). The coating control unit 400 controls the ejection of the coating liquid from the nozzles of each inkjet head 310 . For example, the coating control unit 400 can precisely control the amount of coating liquid to be ejected by controlling the on/off switching of ejection for each inkjet nozzle.
 塗工制御部400としての機能は、図示しないコンピュータのプロセッサがドライバソフトウェアを実行することで実現される。 The function of the coating control unit 400 is realized by a processor of a computer (not shown) executing driver software.
 塗工制御部400は、各インクジェットヘッド310に形成された複数のノズルのうち任意のノズルに対して吐出のオン/オフを制御することで、インクジェットヘッド310における特定のノズルからの塗工液の吐出制御や、ノズルからの吐出の抑止を実現することができる。インクジェットヘッド310の吐出制御を行なうドライバソフトウェアは既知であり、その詳細な説明は省略する。 The coating control unit 400 controls the discharge of the coating liquid from a specific nozzle in the inkjet head 310 by controlling the on/off of ejection for any nozzle among the plurality of nozzles formed in each inkjet head 310. Discharge control and suppression of discharge from the nozzle can be realized. The driver software that controls ejection of the inkjet head 310 is well known, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
 インクジェットヘッド310において、塗工液を吐出するノズルを吐出ノズルといってもよく、吐出ノズルを含む領域を吐出ノズル領域といってもよい。 In the inkjet head 310, the nozzles that eject the coating liquid may be referred to as ejection nozzles, and the area including the ejection nozzles may be referred to as the ejection nozzle area.
 また、インクジェットヘッド310において、塗工液の吐出が抑止されるノズルを吐出抑止ノズルといってもよく、吐出抑止ノズルを含む領域を吐出抑止ノズル領域といってもよい。 Furthermore, in the inkjet head 310, a nozzle whose ejection of the coating liquid is suppressed may be referred to as an ejection suppression nozzle, and an area including the ejection suppression nozzle may be referred to as an ejection suppression nozzle area.
 インクジェット吐出装置30aに備えられたインクジェットヘッド310に形成されたノズル列が第1ノズル列に相当する。インクジェット吐出装置30aは、基層101(基材層)に対向する第1の位置において、基層101の幅方向に配置された第1ノズル列から基層101に第1の塗工液を吐出して塗工層102a(第1の塗工層)を形成する第一塗工部に相当する。 The nozzle row formed in the inkjet head 310 provided in the inkjet discharge device 30a corresponds to the first nozzle row. The inkjet discharge device 30a discharges a first coating liquid onto the base layer 101 from a first nozzle array arranged in the width direction of the base layer 101 at a first position facing the base layer 101 (base material layer). This corresponds to a first coating part that forms the coating layer 102a (first coating layer).
 インクジェット吐出装置30bに備えられたインクジェットヘッド310に形成されたノズル列が第2ノズル列に相当する。インクジェット吐出装置30bは、第1の位置よりも下流側であり、且つ、塗工層102a(第1の塗工層)に対向する第2の位置において、基層101の幅方向に配置された第2ノズル列から塗工層102a(第1の塗工層)表面に第2の塗工液を吐出する第二塗工部に相当する。 The nozzle row formed in the inkjet head 310 provided in the inkjet discharge device 30b corresponds to the second nozzle row. The inkjet ejection device 30b is arranged in the width direction of the base layer 101 at a second position downstream of the first position and facing the coating layer 102a (first coating layer). This corresponds to a second coating section that discharges a second coating liquid onto the surface of the coating layer 102a (first coating layer) from two nozzle rows.
 また、インクジェット吐出装置30aは、基層101(基材層)に対向する第1の位置において、基層101の幅方向に配置された第1ノズル列から基層101に第1の塗工液を吐出して塗工層102a(第1の塗工層)を形成する第一塗工工程を実現する。 Further, the inkjet discharge device 30a discharges the first coating liquid onto the base layer 101 from a first nozzle row arranged in the width direction of the base layer 101 at a first position facing the base layer 101 (base material layer). A first coating step is realized in which the coating layer 102a (first coating layer) is formed.
 インクジェット吐出装置30bは、第1の位置よりも下流側であり、且つ、塗工層102a(第1の塗工層)に対向する第2の位置において、基層101の幅方向に配置された第2ノズル列から塗工層102a(第1の塗工層)表面に第2の塗工液を吐出する第二塗工工程を実現する。 The inkjet ejection device 30b is arranged in the width direction of the base layer 101 at a second position downstream of the first position and facing the coating layer 102a (first coating layer). A second coating process is realized in which a second coating liquid is discharged onto the surface of the coating layer 102a (first coating layer) from two nozzle rows.
 複数のインクジェットヘッド310は、それぞれノズル列が基層101の表面に対向する位置において、基層101の幅方向に並べて配置される。 The plurality of inkjet heads 310 are arranged side by side in the width direction of the base layer 101 at positions where respective nozzle rows face the surface of the base layer 101.
 図7~図9は、それぞれ実施形態の一例としての積層フィルム製造システム1のインクジェット吐出装置30のインクジェットヘッド310の配置例を示す図である。 7 to 9 are diagrams each showing an example of the arrangement of the inkjet head 310 of the inkjet discharge device 30 of the laminated film manufacturing system 1 as an example of the embodiment.
 図7に示す第1の例においては、インクジェット吐出装置30において、基層101の幅方向(図中の左右方向)の全体に亘って複数(図7に示す例では5個)のインクジェットヘッド310-1~310-5が一列に並べて配置されている。 In the first example shown in FIG. 7, in the inkjet ejection device 30, a plurality of (five in the example shown in FIG. 7) inkjet heads 310- 1 to 310-5 are arranged in a line.
 インクジェットヘッド310-1~310-5を特に区別しない場合には、インクジェットヘッド310と表記する。 When the inkjet heads 310-1 to 310-5 are not particularly distinguished, they are referred to as inkjet heads 310.
 一列に並べられた複数のインクジェットヘッド310をインクジェットヘッド列といってもよい。図7に示す例においては、インクジェットヘッド列に符号300を付して表す。 A plurality of inkjet heads 310 arranged in a line may be referred to as an inkjet head row. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the inkjet head row is indicated by the reference numeral 300.
 図7に示す例においては、5個のインクジェットヘッド310-1~310-5を直列に並べた長さが、基層101の幅方向長さとほぼ等しい。 In the example shown in FIG. 7, the length of five inkjet heads 310-1 to 310-5 arranged in series is approximately equal to the length of the base layer 101 in the width direction.
 また、図7に例示するインクジェットヘッド列300のうち、両端部に配置されたインクジェットヘッド310-1,310-5においては、基層101の縁辺から所定の範囲に対向する部分が吐出抑止ノズル領域となっている。図7においては、インクジェットヘッド310における吐出抑止ノズル領域に符号310bを付して表し、吐出ノズル領域に符号310aを付して表す。 Furthermore, in the inkjet heads 310-1 and 310-5 arranged at both ends of the inkjet head row 300 illustrated in FIG. It has become. In FIG. 7, the ejection suppressing nozzle area of the inkjet head 310 is indicated by the reference numeral 310b, and the ejection nozzle area is indicated by the reference numeral 310a.
 塗工制御部400は、インクジェットヘッド310-1~310-5に対して、吐出ノズル領域310aから基層101に対して塗工液の吐出を行なわせる。これにより、各インクジェットヘッド310の吐出ノズル領域310aの各ノズルから塗工液が粒子状に吐出される。 The coating control unit 400 causes the inkjet heads 310-1 to 310-5 to discharge the coating liquid onto the base layer 101 from the discharge nozzle area 310a. As a result, the coating liquid is ejected in the form of particles from each nozzle in the ejection nozzle area 310a of each inkjet head 310.
 基層101の幅方向における吐出ノズル領域310aと対向する位置には、基層101の表面に均一な塗工層102が形成される。図7においては、基層101における塗工層102が形成された領域(塗工層領域)に符号100bを付して表す。 A uniform coating layer 102 is formed on the surface of the base layer 101 at a position facing the discharge nozzle area 310a in the width direction of the base layer 101. In FIG. 7, a region (coating layer region) in which the coating layer 102 is formed in the base layer 101 is indicated by the reference numeral 100b.
 また、塗工制御部400は、インクジェットヘッド列300において、両端部に設けられたインクジェットヘッド310-1,310-5に対して、吐出抑止ノズル領域310bからの塗工液の吐出を抑止する。 Additionally, the coating control unit 400 inhibits the inkjet heads 310-1 and 310-5 provided at both ends of the inkjet head array 300 from ejecting the coating liquid from the ejection suppression nozzle region 310b.
 これにより、基層101の幅方向における両端(両縁辺)において、吐出抑止ノズル領域310bと対向する位置には、塗工液を塗布しない領域であるドライエッジがそれぞれ形成される。図7においては、ドライエッジに符号100aを付して表す。 As a result, at both ends (both edges) in the width direction of the base layer 101, dry edges, which are regions where the coating liquid is not applied, are formed at positions facing the ejection suppression nozzle region 310b. In FIG. 7, the dry edge is indicated by the reference numeral 100a.
 また、図8に示す第2の例においては、図7に示す例に比べて基層101の幅が広い例を示す。 Furthermore, the second example shown in FIG. 8 shows an example in which the base layer 101 is wider than the example shown in FIG.
 この図8に示す例においては、5個のインクジェットヘッド310-1~310-5を直列に並べた長さ(インクジェットヘッド列300の長さ)が、基層101の塗工層領域100bの幅方向長さとほぼ等しい。 In the example shown in FIG. 8, the length of five inkjet heads 310-1 to 310-5 arranged in series (the length of the inkjet head row 300) is the width direction of the coating layer region 100b of the base layer 101. approximately equal in length.
 塗工制御部400は、インクジェットヘッド列300において、両端部に配置されたインクジェットヘッド310-1,310-5において、吐出抑止ノズル領域310bを設けることなく、インクジェットヘッド列300を構成する全てのインクジェットヘッド310を吐出ノズル領域310aとして用い、基層101に対して塗工液の吐出を行なわせる。 In the inkjet head row 300, the coating control unit 400 controls all the inkjet heads 310-1 and 310-5 arranged at both ends of the inkjet head row 300 without providing the ejection suppression nozzle area 310b. The head 310 is used as a discharge nozzle region 310a to discharge the coating liquid onto the base layer 101.
 これにより、基層101の表面に均一な塗工層102が形成され、塗工層領域100bが形成される。 As a result, a uniform coating layer 102 is formed on the surface of the base layer 101, and a coating layer region 100b is formed.
 また、基層101の幅方向における両端(両縁辺)のインクジェットヘッド310が不在の位置には塗工液の塗布が行なわれず、これによりドライエッジ100aがそれぞれ形成される。 Further, the coating liquid is not applied to the positions where the inkjet head 310 is absent at both ends (both edges) in the width direction of the base layer 101, thereby forming dry edges 100a.
 図9に示す第3の例においては、図7に示す例に比べて基層101の幅が狭い例を示す。 A third example shown in FIG. 9 shows an example in which the width of the base layer 101 is narrower than that in the example shown in FIG.
 この図9に示す例においては、5個のインクジェットヘッド310-1~310-5のうち、3個のインクジェットヘッド310-2~310-4を直列に並べた長さが、基層101の塗工層領域100bの幅方向長さより大きい。 In the example shown in FIG. 9, among the five inkjet heads 310-1 to 310-5, the length of three inkjet heads 310-2 to 310-4 arranged in series is It is larger than the length in the width direction of the layer region 100b.
 また、インクジェットヘッド列300のうち、両端部に配置されたインクジェットヘッド310-1,310-5が吐出抑止ノズル領域310bとなっている。さらに、インクジェットヘッド310-2,310-4においては、基層101の縁辺から所定の範囲に対向する部分が吐出抑止ノズル領域310bとなっている。 Further, among the inkjet head row 300, inkjet heads 310-1 and 310-5 arranged at both ends serve as an ejection suppression nozzle area 310b. Furthermore, in the inkjet heads 310-2 and 310-4, a portion facing a predetermined range from the edge of the base layer 101 serves as an ejection suppression nozzle region 310b.
 塗工制御部400は、インクジェットヘッド列300において、インクジェットヘッド310-2~310-4に対して、吐出ノズル領域310aから基層101に対して塗工液の吐出を行なわせる。 The coating control unit 400 causes the inkjet heads 310-2 to 310-4 in the inkjet head array 300 to eject the coating liquid onto the base layer 101 from the ejection nozzle area 310a.
 これにより、基層101の幅方向における吐出ノズル領域310aと対向する位置には、表層に均一な塗工層が形成され、塗工層領域100bが形成される。 As a result, a uniform coating layer is formed on the surface layer at a position facing the discharge nozzle region 310a in the width direction of the base layer 101, and a coating layer region 100b is formed.
 また、塗工制御部400は、インクジェットヘッド列300において、インクジェットヘッド310-1,310-2,310-4,310-5に対して、吐出抑止ノズル領域310bからの塗工液の吐出を抑止する。 Furthermore, in the inkjet head array 300, the coating control unit 400 suppresses the ejection of the coating liquid from the ejection suppression nozzle area 310b for the inkjet heads 310-1, 310-2, 310-4, and 310-5. do.
 これにより、基層101の幅方向における両端(両縁辺)において、吐出抑止ノズル領域310bと対向する位置には、それぞれ塗工液を塗布しない領域であるドライエッジ100aが形成される。 As a result, at both ends (both edges) in the width direction of the base layer 101, dry edges 100a, which are regions to which the coating liquid is not applied, are formed at positions facing the ejection suppression nozzle region 310b.
 上述の如く、本積層フィルム製造システム1においては、インクジェットヘッド列300において、少なくとも、塗工層領域100bの幅方向の縁辺部、すなわち塗工層102の幅方向の縁辺部に対向する位置にインクジェットヘッド310が配置されている。塗工層領域100bの両端部をインクジェットノズルによって塗工し形成することにより、端部(塗工層領域100bとドライエッジ100aとの境界)を精密に直線的に形成することができ、ドライエッジ100aを高精度に形成することができる。 As described above, in the present laminated film manufacturing system 1, in the inkjet head array 300, the inkjet is installed at least at a position facing the widthwise edge of the coating layer region 100b, that is, the widthwise edge of the coating layer 102. A head 310 is arranged. By coating and forming both ends of the coating layer region 100b with an inkjet nozzle, the edges (boundary between the coating layer region 100b and the dry edge 100a) can be formed precisely and linearly, and the dry edge 100a can be formed with high precision.
 例えば、図7に示した第1の例におけるインクジェットヘッド310-1,310-5と、図8に示した第2の例におけるインクジェットヘッド310-1,310-5と、図9に示した第3の例におけるインクジェットヘッド310-2,310-4とが、塗工層領域100b(塗工層102)の幅方向の縁辺部に対向する位置に配置されたインクジェットヘッド310に相当する。 For example, the inkjet heads 310-1 and 310-5 in the first example shown in FIG. 7, the inkjet heads 310-1 and 310-5 in the second example shown in FIG. The inkjet heads 310-2 and 310-4 in Example 3 correspond to the inkjet head 310 disposed at a position facing the widthwise edge of the coating layer region 100b (coating layer 102).
 インクジェット吐出装置30bの下流には図示しないドライヤーを備えてもよい。ドライヤーは、インクジェット吐出装置30a,30bが基層101の表面に形成した第2の塗工層102b(混合液層)を乾燥させる。ドライヤーは、例えば、縦方向に搬送される基層101の表面に温風を送風することで第2の塗工層102bを乾燥させてもよい。ドライヤーは、第2の塗工層102bを乾燥させる乾燥工程を実現する。 A dryer (not shown) may be provided downstream of the inkjet ejection device 30b. The dryer dries the second coating layer 102b (mixed liquid layer) formed on the surface of the base layer 101 by the inkjet ejection devices 30a and 30b. For example, the dryer may dry the second coating layer 102b by blowing warm air onto the surface of the base layer 101 that is conveyed in the vertical direction. The dryer implements a drying process of drying the second coating layer 102b.
 ドライヤーの下流において、積層フィルム100に対して、図示しない裁断装置等を用いて積層フィルム100の両縁辺の裁断等の加工を行なってもよい。また、図示しない測定装置等を用いて積層フィルム100の厚みの計測等の処理を行なってもよい。その後、積層フィルム100は、ワインダー(図示せず)により巻き取られ、後続する仕上げ工程に送られる。 Downstream of the dryer, the laminated film 100 may be processed such as cutting both edges of the laminated film 100 using a cutting device (not shown) or the like. Furthermore, processing such as measuring the thickness of the laminated film 100 may be performed using a measuring device (not shown) or the like. Thereafter, the laminated film 100 is wound up by a winder (not shown) and sent to the subsequent finishing process.
 (B)動作
 上述の如く構成された積層フィルム製造システム1において、原料サイロ10a,10bに格納された原料は、造粒機11に投入される。
(B) Operation In the laminated film manufacturing system 1 configured as described above, the raw materials stored in the raw material silos 10a and 10b are fed into the granulator 11.
 造粒機11は、原料の熱可塑性樹脂に、必要に応じて無機フィラーや任意の添加剤を加えて樹脂組成物のペレットを生成する。生成されたペレットはペレットサイロ12に格納される。 The granulator 11 adds inorganic fillers and arbitrary additives to the raw material thermoplastic resin as needed to produce pellets of the resin composition. The generated pellets are stored in a pellet silo 12.
 ペレットサイロ12は自身に格納するペレットを押出機13に供給する。 The pellet silo 12 supplies the pellets stored therein to the extruder 13.
 押出機13は、基層101(キャストフィルム層)を生成する。押出機13によって生成された基層101は、縦延伸装置14に投入される。 The extruder 13 produces a base layer 101 (cast film layer). The base layer 101 produced by the extruder 13 is fed into the longitudinal stretching device 14 .
 縦延伸装置14は、押出機13から押し出された基層101を縦方向に延伸させる。縦延伸装置14により縦方向に延伸された基層101(第1延伸層)は、次に、横延伸装置16に投入される。 The longitudinal stretching device 14 stretches the base layer 101 extruded from the extruder 13 in the longitudinal direction. The base layer 101 (first stretched layer) stretched in the longitudinal direction by the longitudinal stretching device 14 is then fed into the horizontal stretching device 16 .
 横延伸装置16は、縦延伸装置14によって縦方向に延伸された基層101を、横方向(幅方向)に延伸させる。 The lateral stretching device 16 stretches the base layer 101, which has been stretched in the vertical direction by the longitudinal stretching device 14, in the lateral direction (width direction).
 インクジェット吐出装置30aは、基層101(基材層)の表面に第1の塗工液を吐出して厚みが均一の塗工層102aを形成する。
 その後、インクジェット吐出装置30bは、塗工層102aが乾燥する前に、塗工層102a上に第2の塗工液を吐出して厚みが均一の塗工層102bを形成する。塗工層102bは、第1の塗工液と第2の塗工液の混合液層である。
The inkjet discharge device 30a discharges the first coating liquid onto the surface of the base layer 101 (base material layer) to form a coating layer 102a having a uniform thickness.
Thereafter, the inkjet ejection device 30b ejects the second coating liquid onto the coating layer 102a to form a coating layer 102b having a uniform thickness before the coating layer 102a dries. The coating layer 102b is a mixed liquid layer of the first coating liquid and the second coating liquid.
 基層101に表面に形成された塗工層102bはドライヤーによって乾燥される。これにより、積層フィルム100が作製される。その後、積層フィルム100に対して両縁辺の裁断等の加工や厚みの計測等の処理が行なわれる。積層フィルム100は、ワインダー(図示せず)により巻き取られ、後続する仕上げ工程に送られる。 The coating layer 102b formed on the surface of the base layer 101 is dried by a dryer. Thereby, the laminated film 100 is produced. Thereafter, the laminated film 100 is processed such as cutting on both edges and measuring the thickness. The laminated film 100 is wound up by a winder (not shown) and sent to a subsequent finishing process.
 (C)効果
 このように、実施形態の一例としての積層フィルム製造システム1によれば、横延伸装置16によって横方向に延伸された基層101に対して、インクジェット吐出装置30a,30bが塗工液を吐出することで、基層101の表裏面に均一な厚さの塗工層102a,102bを形成することができる。
(C) Effect As described above, according to the laminated film manufacturing system 1 as an example of the embodiment, the inkjet discharging devices 30a and 30b apply the coating liquid to the base layer 101 that has been stretched in the lateral direction by the lateral stretching device 16. By discharging this, coating layers 102a and 102b with uniform thickness can be formed on the front and back surfaces of the base layer 101.
 インクジェット吐出装置30aが、基層101(基材層)の表面に第1の塗工液を吐出して厚みが均一の塗工層102aを形成した後、塗工層102aが乾燥する前に、インクジェット吐出装置30bが、塗工層102a上に第2の塗工液を吐出して厚みが均一の塗工層102bを形成する。 After the inkjet discharge device 30a discharges the first coating liquid onto the surface of the base layer 101 (base material layer) to form a coating layer 102a having a uniform thickness, and before the coating layer 102a dries, the inkjet The discharge device 30b discharges the second coating liquid onto the coating layer 102a to form a coating layer 102b having a uniform thickness.
 これにより、基層101上で第1の塗工液と第2の塗工液とによる2液混合を行なうことができ、高い性能を得ることができる。 Thereby, two-liquid mixing of the first coating liquid and the second coating liquid can be performed on the base layer 101, and high performance can be obtained.
 また、インクジェット吐出装置30bの配置により2液の混合位置をコントロールすることができる。 Furthermore, the mixing position of the two liquids can be controlled by the arrangement of the inkjet discharge device 30b.
 例えば、2液混合によりガスが発生する場合に、インクジェット吐出装置30bを、インクジェット吐出装置30aから離して下流位置に配置することで、ガス発生位置をライン下流位置に限定させることができる。 For example, when gas is generated by mixing two liquids, the gas generation position can be limited to a position downstream of the line by arranging the inkjet discharge device 30b at a downstream position away from the inkjet discharge device 30a.
 また、例えば、2液混合により硬化に時間がかかる場合には、第1インクジェット吐出装置30aと第2インクジェット吐出装置30bとを、基層101の搬送経路におけるなるべく上流位置において互いに近づけて配置することで、基層101の搬送過程で塗工層102bの乾燥(硬化)に十分な時間を確保することができる。 For example, if curing takes time due to mixing of two liquids, the first inkjet ejection device 30a and the second inkjet ejection device 30b may be arranged as close to each other as possible in the upstream position on the conveyance path of the base layer 101. , sufficient time can be secured for drying (hardening) of the coating layer 102b during the transportation process of the base layer 101.
 塗工制御部400が、インクジェット吐出装置30のインクジェットヘッド列300において、基層101の塗工層領域100bに対向して設けられた吐出ノズル領域310aに含まれるノズルからのみ塗工液の吐出を行なわせる。塗工制御部400は、基層101のドライエッジ100aに対向して設けられた吐出抑止ノズル領域310bに含まれるノズルからの塗工液の吐出を抑止する。 The coating control unit 400 discharges the coating liquid only from the nozzles included in the discharge nozzle region 310a provided opposite the coating layer region 100b of the base layer 101 in the inkjet head array 300 of the inkjet discharge device 30. let The coating control unit 400 suppresses the ejection of the coating liquid from the nozzles included in the ejection suppression nozzle region 310b provided opposite the dry edge 100a of the base layer 101.
 これにより、基層101の幅方向における両端(両縁辺)にドライエッジ100aを容易に形成することができ、基層101において塗工液が裏回りすることを防止することができる。インクジェットヘッド310のノズルから吐出される塗工液は液滴が小さく、塗工制御部400は塗工量を精密制御することができるので、塗工層領域100bの端部(塗工層領域100bとドライエッジ100aとの境界)を精密に直線的に形成することができ、ドライエッジ100aを高精度に形成することができる。結果として、基層101の端部において塗工液が裏回りすることを抑止できる。 Thereby, dry edges 100a can be easily formed at both ends (both edges) in the width direction of the base layer 101, and it is possible to prevent the coating liquid from turning around in the base layer 101. The coating liquid discharged from the nozzle of the inkjet head 310 has small droplets, and the coating control unit 400 can precisely control the coating amount. and the dry edge 100a) can be formed precisely and linearly, and the dry edge 100a can be formed with high precision. As a result, it is possible to prevent the coating liquid from turning around at the ends of the base layer 101.
 例えば、図7に示した第1の例において、塗工制御部400が、インクジェット吐出装置30のインクジェットヘッド列300において、基層101の幅方向の縁辺部に対向して配置されたインクジェットヘッド310-1,310-5に対して、吐出抑止ノズル領域310bからの塗工液の吐出を抑止する。 For example, in the first example shown in FIG. 1,310-5, the ejection of the coating liquid from the ejection suppression nozzle region 310b is suppressed.
 これにより、基層101の幅方向における両端(両縁辺)において、吐出抑止ノズル領域310bと対向する位置にドライエッジを容易に形成することができ、基層101において塗工液が裏回りすることを防止することができる。 As a result, dry edges can be easily formed at both ends (both edges) in the width direction of the base layer 101 at positions facing the ejection suppression nozzle area 310b, and the coating liquid can be prevented from turning around in the base layer 101. can do.
 また、図8に示した第2の例において、インクジェットヘッド列300の長さを、基層101の塗工層領域100bの幅方向長さとほぼ等しくする。そして、塗工制御部400が、インクジェットヘッド列300を構成する全てのインクジェットヘッド310を吐出ノズル領域310aとして用い、基層101に対して塗工液の吐出を行なわせる。 Furthermore, in the second example shown in FIG. 8, the length of the inkjet head row 300 is made approximately equal to the length in the width direction of the coating layer region 100b of the base layer 101. Then, the coating control unit 400 uses all the inkjet heads 310 constituting the inkjet head array 300 as the ejection nozzle region 310a to eject the coating liquid onto the base layer 101.
 これによっても、塗工層領域100bの幅方向における両端(両縁辺)において、インクジェットノズルから塗工液を微小な粒子として吐出することで、塗工層領域100bの端部を精密に直線的に形成することができ、ドライエッジを容易かつ高精細に形成することができ、基層101の両端部において塗工液が裏回りすることを防止することができる。 With this, by discharging the coating liquid as minute particles from the inkjet nozzle at both ends (both edges) in the width direction of the coating layer region 100b, the edges of the coating layer region 100b can be precisely and linearly formed. It is possible to form a dry edge easily and with high precision, and it is possible to prevent the coating liquid from turning around at both ends of the base layer 101.
 また、図9に示した第3の例において、塗工制御部400が、基層101の塗工層領域100bに対向して設けられたインクジェットヘッド310-2~310―4に対して、吐出ノズル領域310aに含まれるノズルからのみ塗工液の吐出を行なわせる。塗工制御部400は、基層101のドライエッジ100aに対向して設けられたインクジェットヘッド310-2,310-4の吐出抑止ノズル領域310bに含まれるノズルからの塗工液の吐出を抑止する。また、塗工制御部400は、対向する基層101が存在しないインクジェットヘッド310-1,310-5に対して塗工液の吐出を抑止する。 Further, in the third example shown in FIG. The coating liquid is ejected only from the nozzles included in the region 310a. The coating control unit 400 suppresses the ejection of the coating liquid from the nozzles included in the ejection suppression nozzle region 310b of the inkjet heads 310-2 and 310-4 provided opposite the dry edge 100a of the base layer 101. Furthermore, the coating control unit 400 prevents the coating liquid from being ejected to the inkjet heads 310-1 and 310-5 where the opposing base layer 101 does not exist.
 これによっても、基層101の幅方向における両端(両縁辺)において、吐出抑止ノズル領域310bと対向する位置にドライエッジを容易かつ高精細に形成することができ、基層101の両端部において塗工液が裏回りすることを防止することができる。 This also allows dry edges to be easily and precisely formed at the positions facing the ejection suppression nozzle area 310b at both ends (both edges) in the width direction of the base layer 101, and the coating liquid at both ends of the base layer 101. can be prevented from turning around.
 インクジェットヘッド列300においては、少なくとも、塗工層領域100b(塗工層102)の幅方向の縁辺部に対向する各位置にインクジェットヘッド310が配置されている。例えば、図7に示した第1の例におけるインクジェットヘッド310-1,310-5と、図8に示した第2の例におけるインクジェットヘッド310-1,310-5と、図9に示した第3の例におけるインクジェットヘッド310-2,310-4とが、塗工層領域100b(塗工層102)の幅方向の縁辺部に対向する位置に配置されたインクジェットヘッド310に相当する。 In the inkjet head row 300, inkjet heads 310 are arranged at least at each position facing the widthwise edge of the coating layer region 100b (coating layer 102). For example, the inkjet heads 310-1 and 310-5 in the first example shown in FIG. 7, the inkjet heads 310-1 and 310-5 in the second example shown in FIG. The inkjet heads 310-2 and 310-4 in Example 3 correspond to the inkjet head 310 disposed at a position facing the widthwise edge of the coating layer region 100b (coating layer 102).
 塗工層領域100b(塗工層102)の幅方向の縁辺部に対向する各位置にインクジェットヘッド310が配置され、これらのインクジェットヘッド310の吐出ノズル領域310aの各ノズルから塗工液を粒子状に吐出することで、基層101の表面に塗工液を薄くムラなく塗布することができ、また、塗工層領域100bの端部を精密に直線的に形成することができ、ドライエッジ100aを高精度に形成することができる。結果、基層101の両端部において塗工液が裏回りすることを抑止することができる。 Inkjet heads 310 are arranged at each position facing the edge in the width direction of the coating layer region 100b (coating layer 102), and the coating liquid is ejected into particles from each nozzle in the discharge nozzle region 310a of these inkjet heads 310. By discharging the coating liquid to the surface of the base layer 101, the coating liquid can be thinly and evenly applied to the surface of the base layer 101, and the edge of the coating layer region 100b can be formed precisely and linearly, thereby eliminating the dry edge 100a. It can be formed with high precision. As a result, it is possible to prevent the coating liquid from turning around at both ends of the base layer 101.

 また、塗工制御部400が、インクジェットヘッド310-1,310-5に対して、吐出ノズル領域310aから基層101に対して塗工液の吐出を行なわせることで、各インクジェットヘッド310-1,310-5の吐出ノズル領域310aの各ノズルから塗工液が粒子状に吐出され、基層101の表面に塗工液がムラなく塗布される。また塗工層領域100bの端部を精密に直線的に形成することができ、ドライエッジ100aを高精度に形成することができる。 Further, the coating control unit 400 causes the inkjet heads 310-1 and 310-5 to discharge the coating liquid from the discharge nozzle area 310a to the base layer 101, so that each inkjet head 310-1, 310-5 The coating liquid is discharged in the form of particles from each nozzle in the discharge nozzle region 310a of 310-5, and the coating liquid is evenly applied to the surface of the base layer 101. Furthermore, the end portion of the coating layer region 100b can be formed precisely and linearly, and the dry edge 100a can be formed with high precision.

 図12に示す例において、各スプレー装置320は、基層101の縁辺部以外の領域に塗工液を噴射するので、各スプレー装置320から基層101に噴射された塗工液が、基層101の両端部において裏回りすることがない。 In the example shown in FIG. 12, each spray device 320 sprays the coating liquid to an area other than the edge portion of the base layer 101, so that the coating liquid sprayed from each spray device 320 to the base layer 101 is applied to both ends of the base layer 101. There is no turning back in the department.
 また、塗工制御部400が、インクジェットヘッド310-2,310-4に対して、吐出ノズル領域310aから基層101に対して塗工液の吐出を行なわせることで、各インクジェットヘッド310-2,310-4の吐出ノズル領域310aの各ノズルから塗工液が粒子状に吐出され、基層101の表面に塗工液がムラなく塗布される。また塗工層領域100bの端部を精密に直線的に形成することができ、ドライエッジ100aを高精度に形成することができる。 Further, the coating control unit 400 causes the inkjet heads 310-2, 310-4 to discharge the coating liquid from the discharge nozzle area 310a to the base layer 101, so that each inkjet head 310-2, 310-4 The coating liquid is discharged in the form of particles from each nozzle in the discharge nozzle region 310a of 310-4, and the coating liquid is evenly applied to the surface of the base layer 101. Furthermore, the end portion of the coating layer region 100b can be formed precisely and linearly, and the dry edge 100a can be formed with high precision.
 また、塗工制御部400は、インクジェットヘッド列300において、インクジェットヘッド310-1,310-2,310-4,310-5に対して、吐出抑止ノズル領域310bからの塗工液の吐出を抑止する。 Furthermore, in the inkjet head array 300, the coating control unit 400 suppresses the ejection of the coating liquid from the ejection suppression nozzle area 310b for the inkjet heads 310-1, 310-2, 310-4, and 310-5. do.
 これにより、基層101の幅方向における両端(両縁辺)において、吐出抑止ノズル領域310bと対向する位置には、塗工液を塗布しない領域であるドライエッジ100aがそれぞれ形成される。 As a result, at both ends (both edges) in the width direction of the base layer 101, dry edges 100a, which are regions to which the coating liquid is not applied, are formed at positions facing the ejection suppression nozzle region 310b.
 スプレー装置320はインクジェットヘッド310に比べて安価であるので、上述の如くインクジェットヘッド310に代えてスプレー装置320を備えることで装置の製造コストを低減することができる。 Since the spray device 320 is cheaper than the inkjet head 310, the manufacturing cost of the device can be reduced by providing the spray device 320 in place of the inkjet head 310 as described above.
 また、上述した実施形態においては、基層101の一方の面(表面)に塗工層102を形成する例を示しているが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、基層101の裏面にも塗工層を形成してもよい。 Further, in the embodiment described above, an example is shown in which the coating layer 102 is formed on one side (surface) of the base layer 101, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a coating layer may also be formed on the back surface of the base layer 101.
 図13は実施形態の一例としての積層フィルム製造システム1の変形例におけるインクジェット吐出装置30a,30bの配置例を模式的に示す図である。 FIG. 13 is a diagram schematically showing an example of the arrangement of inkjet ejection devices 30a and 30b in a modification of the laminated film manufacturing system 1 as an example of the embodiment.
 基層101の両面に塗工層102を形成する場合には、この図13に例示するように、基層101の表面(第1の面)に塗工層102を形成するインクジェット吐出装置30a-1,30b-1と、基層101の裏面(第2の面)に塗工層102を形成するインクジェット吐出装置30a-2,30b-2とを備える。 When forming the coating layer 102 on both sides of the base layer 101, as illustrated in FIG. 30b-1, and inkjet ejection devices 30a-2 and 30b-2 that form a coating layer 102 on the back surface (second surface) of the base layer 101.
 これらのインクジェット吐出装置30a-1,30b-1,30a-2,30b-2は、上述したインクジェット吐出装置30と同様の構成を有する。なお、インクジェット吐出装置30a-1は第1ノズル列を備え、インクジェット吐出装置30b-1は第2ノズル列を備える。また、インクジェット吐出装置300a-2は第3ノズル列を備え、インクジェット吐出装置30b-2は第4ノズル列を備える。 These inkjet discharge devices 30a-1, 30b-1, 30a-2, and 30b-2 have the same configuration as the inkjet discharge device 30 described above. Note that the inkjet discharge device 30a-1 includes a first nozzle row, and the inkjet discharge device 30b-1 includes a second nozzle row. Furthermore, the inkjet discharge device 300a-2 includes a third nozzle row, and the inkjet discharge device 30b-2 includes a fourth nozzle row.
 インクジェット吐出装置30a-1は、第一塗工工程において、第1ノズル列から基層101の第1の面(表面)に前記第1の塗工液を吐出して塗工層102a(第1の塗工層)を形成する。 In the first coating step, the inkjet discharging device 30a-1 discharges the first coating liquid onto the first surface (surface) of the base layer 101 from the first nozzle row to form the coating layer 102a (first coating layer 102a). coating layer) is formed.
 インクジェット吐出装置30b-1は、第二塗工工程において、第2ノズル列から、基層101の第1の面(表面)に形成された塗工層102a(第1の塗工層)表面に第2の塗工液を吐出する。 In the second coating process, the inkjet discharge device 30b-1 injects a first coating layer from the second nozzle row onto the surface of the coating layer 102a (first coating layer) formed on the first surface (surface) of the base layer 101. Dispense the coating liquid No. 2.
 これらのインクジェット吐出装置30a-1およびインクジェット吐出装置30b-1により、基層101の第1の面(表面)に塗工層102b(混合液層)が形成される。 A coating layer 102b (mixed liquid layer) is formed on the first surface (surface) of the base layer 101 by the inkjet ejection device 30a-1 and the inkjet ejection device 30b-1.
 インクジェット吐出装置30a-2は、第三塗工工程において、基層101の第2の面(裏面)に対向する第3の位置において、基層101の幅方向に配置された第3ノズル列から基層101の第2の面(裏面)に第3の塗工液を吐出して塗工層102a(第3の塗工層)を形成する。 In the third coating step, the inkjet ejection device 30a-2 injects the base layer 101 from a third nozzle row arranged in the width direction of the base layer 101 at a third position facing the second surface (back surface) of the base layer 101. A third coating liquid is discharged onto the second surface (back surface) to form a coating layer 102a (third coating layer).
 インクジェット吐出装置30b-2は、第四塗工工程において、インクジェット吐出装置30a-2の位置(第3の位置)よりも下流側であり、且つ、基層101の第2の面(裏面)に対向する第4の位置において、基層101の幅方向に配置された第4ノズル列から塗工層102a(第3の塗工層)に第4の塗工液を吐出する。 The inkjet discharge device 30b-2 is located downstream of the position (third position) of the inkjet discharge device 30a-2 in the fourth coating step, and is opposite to the second surface (back surface) of the base layer 101. At the fourth position, a fourth coating liquid is discharged onto the coating layer 102a (third coating layer) from a fourth nozzle row arranged in the width direction of the base layer 101.
 これらのインクジェット吐出装置30a-2およびインクジェット吐出装置30b-2により、基層101の第2の面(裏面)に塗工層102b(混合液層)が形成される。なお第1~第4の塗工液の組成は、各々異なっていてもよいし、同じものであってもよいが、全て同じ塗工液であることはない。 A coating layer 102b (mixed liquid layer) is formed on the second surface (back surface) of the base layer 101 by the inkjet ejection device 30a-2 and the inkjet ejection device 30b-2. Note that the compositions of the first to fourth coating liquids may be different from each other or may be the same, but they are not all the same coating liquids.
 図13に示す例においては、インクジェット吐出装置30bとインクジェット吐出装置30aとを縦方向に並べて配置している。そして、横延伸装置16によって延伸された基層101の搬送経路を、複数の搬送ローラ201を用いて屈曲させて折り返すことで、インクジェット吐出装置30bによって裏面(第2の面)に塗工層102が形成された基層101の表面(第1の面)に、インクジェット吐出装置30aより塗工層102を形成している。 In the example shown in FIG. 13, an inkjet discharge device 30b and an inkjet discharge device 30a are arranged side by side in the vertical direction. Then, by bending and folding back the conveyance path of the base layer 101 stretched by the lateral stretching device 16 using a plurality of conveyance rollers 201, the coating layer 102 is formed on the back surface (second surface) by the inkjet discharge device 30b. A coating layer 102 is formed on the surface (first surface) of the formed base layer 101 by an inkjet discharge device 30a.
 このようにインクジェット吐出装置30bとインクジェット吐出装置30aとを縦方向に並べて配置することで、本積層フィルム製造システム1の省スペース化を実現することができる。 By arranging the inkjet discharging device 30b and the inkjet discharging device 30a vertically side by side in this way, it is possible to save space in the present laminated film manufacturing system 1.
 また、これらのインクジェット吐出装置30bおよびインクジェット吐出装置30aにおいても、インクジェットヘッド列300において、両端部にそれぞれ設けられたインクジェットノズルの間にスプレーノズルを備えてもよい。 Furthermore, in the inkjet ejection device 30b and the inkjet ejection device 30a, spray nozzles may be provided between the inkjet nozzles provided at both ends of the inkjet head row 300.
 インクジェットヘッド310やスプレー装置320は、いずれも塗布ローラに比べて小型であり、設置の自由度が高いので、本積層フィルム製造システム1の省スペース化を実現することができる。 The inkjet head 310 and the spray device 320 are both smaller than the coating roller and have a high degree of freedom in installation, so it is possible to save space in the laminated film manufacturing system 1.
 塗工層102を形成した基層101に対して、さらに、表面層や裏面層を形成してもよい。また、基層101は多層であってもよい。 A surface layer or a back layer may be further formed on the base layer 101 on which the coating layer 102 is formed. Furthermore, the base layer 101 may be multilayered.
 また、上述した実施形態においては、積層フィルム製造システム1において、2つのインクジェット吐出装置30a(30a-1,30a-2),30b(30b-1,30b-2)により基層101の1つの面に塗工層102b(混合液層)を形成する例を示したが、これに限定されるものではない。3つ以上のインクジェット吐出装置30を用いて基層101の1つの面に混合液層を形成してもよく、適宜変更して実施することができる。 Further, in the embodiment described above, in the laminated film manufacturing system 1, the two inkjet ejection devices 30a (30a-1, 30a-2), 30b (30b-1, 30b-2) are used to coat one surface of the base layer 101. Although an example of forming the coating layer 102b (mixed liquid layer) has been shown, the present invention is not limited to this. A mixed liquid layer may be formed on one surface of the base layer 101 using three or more inkjet ejection devices 30, and the method can be modified as appropriate.
