Description

Be used to make the method and apparatus of paint cylinder and the product of making thus
Technical field
The present invention relates in general to paint cylinder and manufacture method thereof.More specifically, the present invention relates to improved paint cylinder and cylinder fuse, and be used to utilize reinforcement material to make the method and apparatus of described cylinder and cylinder fuse.
Background technology
Paint cylinder (being also referred to as the paint cylinder covering) by non-professional personnel and occupational staff be widely used in fast, economic and brushing surface (for example wall and ceiling) relatively easily.Paint cylinder generally includes tubular core and the coating absorbent covering or the layer that are fixed on the fuse.Tubular core can be a solid structure, perhaps the tubular core material band that can comprise the spirality take-up strap or bond together.The coating absorbent covering can be by the synthetic or natural fiber of braiding, or other materials well-known in the art is made.
Is well-known around mandrel spiral winding material band with the method that forms paint cylinder.These methods make paint cylinder can obtain by the mode of continuous assembly line making.The early stage paint cylinder of making by this way adopts the formation fuse that brings made of paper.In these well-known processes, a plurality of bands made of paper twine around the mandrel spiral, and by be applied between the band adhesives together, solidify to form fuse.Belt drive is arranged on the fuse of formation, and is used to make fuse to advance along assembly line.Subsequently, apply adhesive for the second time to the fuse that forms, fabric cover is spirally wound on the fuse of formation after this.After this adopt cutting knife that the continuous cylinder of annular is cut into rod.These rods are cut into appropriate size subsequently, and are made into available paint cylinder.
The defective of core paint rollers made of paper is that cardboard is especially very solvable in solvent.Thereby, these fuses use through being everlasting or cleaning process in layering or peel off.
In order to attempt to solve and the relevant lamination problem of common paper coremaking, adopt the band made of paper of phenolic impregnated to replace common cardboard.Yet, even layering often also can take place in the phenolic aldehyde fuse after long term exposure is in solvent.In addition, utilize the manufacture process of the band made of paper of phenolic impregnated will become slowly, and require long assembly line.Adopt the band made of paper of phenolic impregnated also to produce environmental issue.
Another trial that solves lamination problem is disclosed in the U.S. Patent No. 5,195,242 of authorizing Sekar (" Sekar ' 242 patent ").In the process that Sekar ' 242 patents are described, Sekar discloses spiral and has twined the made of paper or phenolic aldehyde band of a plurality of thermoplastic material bands replacements.Well-knownly be the anti-paint solvent of thermoplastic.Especially, a plurality of thermoplastic material bands can twine around fixed central spindle's spiral, and adopt the liquid, thermoplastic of preheating to be combined together to form fuse.With made of paper the same with the phenolic aldehyde process, belt drive is arranged on the fuse of formation, so that fuse is advanced along assembly line.Apply liquid, thermoplastic for the second time to the fuse that forms subsequently as adhesive.Fabric cover is spirally wound on the fuse of formation.Adopt cutting knife that annular cylinder is cut into rod afterwards.Be cut into appropriate size after these rods, and be processed to available paint cylinder.
There are several defectives in the process of describing in Sekar ' 242 patents.Because this manufacture process comprises the application point of adopting a plurality of thermoplastic material bands and a plurality of liquefied thermoplastic, this process is difficult to prepare and operation.In addition, such technology cost is higher, because it need be used for a plurality of nozzles of each thermoplastic material band.Report that also only the fuse of being made by thermoplastic is often more weak or shaky than the fuse of being made by other materials (for example metal and pressboard belt), thereby the useful life of these paint cylinders is shorter relatively.
Authorize the United States Patent (USP) 5 of Bower, 468,207 (" Bower ' 207 patents ") disclose the continuous paint cylinder manufacture process that the process of describing in a kind of and Sekar ' 242 patents is similar, adopt a plurality of thermoplastic belts, difference is that the disclosed scheme of Bower is to adopt directly heating replacement liquefied thermoplastic, thermoplastic belt is bonded together the formation fuse.Bower also discloses and has adopted directly heating rather than liquefied thermoplastic, so that fabric cover is bonded on the formed fuse.There is the identical defective of process with Sekar ' 242 patent disclosures in disclosed process in Bower ' 207 patents.In addition, adopt heater a plurality of thermoplastic belts to be bonded together and fabric cover is bonded on the formed fuse, be considered to and producing extra difficulty aspect the formation of determining to be applied that adds heat and even tack coat.
Another well-known process in present industrial use has solved the relevant challenge of process (for example disclosed process in Bower and Sekar patent) with a plurality of thermoplastic belts.Authorizing the Canadian Patent No.2 of Sekar equally, in the disclosed process of 170,722 (" Canada's ' 722 patents "), single thermoplastic material band twines around the mandrel spiral, replaces twining a plurality of bands by spiral and forms fuse.Apply liquefied thermoplastic separately to the band that twines subsequently.After this, the fabric cover band directly twines at the spiral of being with of liquefied thermoplastic and winding.Adopt cutting knife that annular cylinder is cut into single rod afterwards.Subsequently, these rods are cut into appropriate size, and are processed to available paint cylinder.
Compare with the technology (Bower for example mentioned above and Sekar technology) of disclosed some well-known a plurality of band in the prior art, belt drive in single thermoplastic strip process can not be arranged in being with of winding before applying liquefied thermoplastic, because do not form any fuse before applying fabric cover.On the contrary, in single thermoplastic strip process, belt drive is arranged on the fabric cover, makes formed annular paint cylinder to advance along assembly line.
Yet often there is certain defective in the paint cylinder of making by single thermoplastic strip process mentioned above.The end of the take-up strap of these cylinders is easy to fracture or coil stripping because of twining continuously, and described continuous winding can cause the end of take-up strap outstanding, is " not justifying (out ofround) " thereby cylinder is cashed.This defective is because thermoplastic belt has high-tensile strength nerve (memory).In addition, easier being squeezed of paint cylinder of making by single thermoplastic material band, and do not have the hard sense that paint cylinder had of multilayer or solid fuse.In the process of the hard sense of the paint cylinder that make great efforts to obtain multilayer or solid fuse, can adopt thicker thermoplastic belt.Yet, adopt thicker band to improve take-up strap produces coil stripping because of the more high-tensile strength nerve of thicker band possibility.
Complexity at the method (phenolic processes among Sekar ' 242 for example discussed above and the Bower ' 207) of making the layered coating cylinder, and further at Canada's ' 722 patent at Sekar in the relevant defective of single band technology described, the one or more method in attempting to address these problems is disclosed in patent subsequently.
A kind of such method is disclosed in the U.S. Patent No. 6,159,134 of authorizing Sekar equally (" Sekar ' 134 patent ").Sekar ' 134 patent disclosures a kind of method of making paint cylinder, may further comprise the steps: first thermoplastic material band is advanced around the mandrel spiral; Make second thermoplastic material band become offset relationship ground spiral to advance around first thermoplastic material band and with it; Covering is advanced around the second band spiral; Between the inner surface of first outer surface of being with and second band, provide adhesive; Between the outer surface of outside band and obducent inner surface, provide adhesive; By on covering, applying the paint cylinder that extruding force forms continuous laminating.A defective of this method is that it needs second thermoplastic material band and repeatedly applies adhesive.These factors have increased production cost, and have improved the size and sophistication of assembly line.Second thermoplastic material band also can increase packing and transport in batch because of the impost of second band cost.
Therefore, for structural intergrity the best of making paint cylinder, reduce its cost and reduce its hauled weight, need provide a kind of paint cylinder that adopts the firm lightweight of single basic material band.
Summary of the invention
The above-mentioned defective of paint cylinder and paint cylinder manufacture process can be to a greater extent by being used to make the method and apparatus of paint cylinder and solving by the product of being made by described method and apparatus according to of the present invention; At this with the formal description of illustrative embodiments method, device and product according to invention.
