Fig. 2 shows the part of another embodiment that implements system of the present invention.In this system,, apply the both sides of this bonding jumper when bonding jumper 70 preferably vertically upward rather than resembling in Fig. 1 when mobile vertically downward.Bonding jumper 70 is walked around feed rolls 72 and is vertically upward moved past pre-heater 74 such as heating system from this roller.Then, bonding jumper moves through an optional flame treatment device 76 and moves past so that the both sides of plating bar between relative extrusion system 78,80.The flame treatment device can improve the bonding jumper acceptance bonding to resinous coat.
Comprise three rollers all similar extrusion coating system 78,80 among Fig. 2 all only comprises two rollers rather than resembles in Fig. 1 except that each to the system among Fig. 1.The location and the superficial velocity of stack 82,84 are left the fast several times of speed of extrusion die 90,92 than polymer, so that as rolling in the system of Fig. 1 and making the extrudate attenuation.Roller 86,88 receptions than roller 82,84 colds are coated onto on the bonding jumper 70 from the extrudate of roller 82,84 and with this extrudate.
Bonding jumper 70 can continue shift-in insulated cabinet 94 vertically upward after both sides are coated, these case and bag contain a cooling and slewing rollers 96, and it is used for the cool metal bar and changes this bonding jumper into vertically downward direction.Case 94 is preferably adiabatic, so that can carry out precise dose control to this bonding jumper when bonding jumper moves past cooling with slewing rollers 96.Roller 96 preferably has the external profile diameter at least about three feet.The major diameter of this roller can make the metal stresses that causes because of curvature effect minimize.The temperature of coming control roll 96 and bonding jumper 71 with the fluids 91 in the donought between roller outer rim 97 and the inner edge 95 93.Donought 93 preferably is not filled so that make the inertia effect minimize (viscous damping is provided) also can carry out speed control and tracking.
After the coating compound 71 moves past post-heater 98 vertically downward from turning to chill roll 96, and this post-heater 98 is heated to about 204-260 ℃ (400-500 °F) with compound so that strengthen such as the base polymer of the mylar cohesive to bonding jumper as in the embodiment in figure 1.Heater 98 can be common induction heater, thermal convection current stove or infrared heater.Move to second cooling from heater 98 via unshowned cooling or quenching device for compound 71 and move to a unshowned recoil roller with slewing rollers 99 and from this roller.Roller 99 is similar with said roller 96 on structure and size.
Fig. 3 is the skeleton diagram of further embodiment of this invention, wherein, launch and upwards dose on the stack assembly 104 from a spreader 102 through the room temperature light sheet material 100 that is in normal condition that purifies, stack assembly 104 comprises that roller 103 and is positioned at the optional backing roll 105 that this handles the assembly top.Include unshowned gatherer to adapt to the variation of the volume on the spreader 102.
Bonding jumper 100 moves from stack assembly 104 along vertical and downward direction and preferably relative vertical line inclination 30-45 degree.This inclination helps the extrusion coating and the mechanical arrangement in downstream.Bonding jumper 100 is through preheating 106, preheat the place at this, can produce an induction field so that metal is heated to such temperature equably, this temperature can improve " original peeling off " intensity at downstream part that is adhered to the polymer on the bonding jumper under the situation that does not significantly reduce or predetermined metal character is not had a negative impact.Just as used herein " original peeling off " intensity is meant that polymer is bonded in bonding jumper with enough maintenance energies like that, thereby polymer can not break away from bonding jumper in follow-up processing procedure.Above-mentioned predetermined temperature should be preferably in the scope of about 215 °-246 ℃ (425 °-475) at about 204 °-260 ℃ (400-500 °F) when the coating polyester.
Bonding jumper 100 after preheating is along downward-sloping direction continuation and through an optional flame surface processor 108.This flame treatment device can make the metallic surface reduction after preheating, and eliminating, to reduce or increase oxide layer to greatest extent, thereby will be coated onto the bonding force of the polymer on the bonding jumper after increasing.
Then, heating and the bonding jumper 100 handled enter first in two extrusion coating stations.One unshowned extruder makes pet polymer or other thermoplastic resin plasticising and it is passed to a compressing tablet mould 110 in the fusion mode, this mould perpendicular positioning or relatively vertical line locate obliquely and have a narrow outlet slot.This groove is arranged to and can be produced counter-pressure to extruder, thus make extrudate 112 extend at least with bonding jumper 100 with wide width.Above-mentioned slit is by such as the characteristic and the thickness of fluoropolymer resin, some factors of the shape of the relative velocity of extruder and bonding jumper and compressing tablet mould, factors such as shape of extrudate film and so on and have width less than the width of bonding jumper 100.Extrudate 112 is advanced roller group 114 so that make thickness reduce to the final thickness that can be applied on the bonding jumper by calendering.According to the difference of the polymer of extruding, calendering thickness ratio should be about 10-25: 1.
Two roll assemblies 114 are arranged to the relative horizontal line in plane via the center line of these two rollers about 30 degree that tilt." inboard " or slewing rollers 116 elastic surface made by the high temperature resistance elastomer is preferably arranged and in inside and/or the outside cooled off so that make described elastomeric degeneration reach minimum.
The outside or pressure roll 118 are steel of chromium plating and have passed through the temperature of polishing and preferably remain below about 150 or 66 ℃ (with regard to polyester), this temperature is lower than molten polymer " adhesion " temperature, and described " adhesion " temperature then can impose on polymer with line pressure when polymer being coated onto on the bonding jumper material.This will strengthen polymer to the bonding force of metal 100 and improve appearance.The superficial velocity of roller 116,118 is left fast 10 times of the speed of extrusion die 110 approximately than extrudate, thereby polymer rolled to bonding jumper 100 reach preset thickness, the about .00762mm to 0.02032mm of this thickness (0.3-0.8 mil) and preferably be about first side of the two roll assemblies 114 of 0.01016mm (0.4 mil) by suitable " initially peeling off " intensity plating bar 100 is so that stop polymer and metal to be separated in subsequent processes.
After this, the bonding jumper 100 that has applied a side leaves assembly 114 and (because of the best orientation at the second extruding station) turns to about 60 degree on the elastomeric roller 116 being surrounded by, thereby makes the downward-sloping 30-45 degree of the relative vertical line of bonding jumper (entering about 60 degree in entry position of first assembly relatively).Bonding jumper 100 through having preheated and applied a side continues along inclination 30-45 degree and downward direction, heat heater 120 by optional second (may be a bigger) flame or other type, at this, pre-warmed metallic surface is handled eliminate/to reduce the oxide on the second surface to greatest extent and to improve the bonding force of polymer, provided any required temperature " rising " simultaneously to obtain best bond state.
Then, preheat with pretreated bonding jumper 101 and enter in described two extrusion coating stations second, so that coating is by the bonding jumper opposite side of the first coating station coating.With regard to second extruder, extruder performance requirement, structure and processing procedure are all identical with first extruder.The roll gap that thing 122 enters two roll assemblies 126 that melt extrudes from extrusion die 124, described pair of roll assembly has such structure, wherein, the relative horizontal line inclination in the plane of the center line of process roller 128,130 about 30-45 degree (the position of center line inclination 45-60 degree of relative first assembly 114).
Geometry, structure, performance and the function of roller 128,130 is identical with first assembly 114.Extrudate 122 is coated onto on second side of the bonding jumper 101 after preheating so that first side is formed suitable " initially peeling off " intensity illustrated as above.After this, the bonding jumper 103 that has applied both sides leaves assembly 126 and preferably turn to about 45-90 degree on the described roller that is surrounded by rubber, with the bonding heater 132 of relative induction in a downward direction by realizing best orientation into about the 30-45 degree with vertical line.
The bonding jumper that applied 103 is along tilting and downward direction continuation and through the secondary heater 132 of induction heater preferably, so that the metal/plastic interface is heated to such temperature equably, this temperature can make plastic bonding in bonding jumper under the situation that does not reduce basically or predetermined metal performance or plastics are not had a negative impact.Described temperature preferably about 400-550 (204-228 ℃) and with regard to polyester, be preferably about 425-475 (215-246 ℃).
In case left induction heater 132 and along tilting and downward direction when continuing, nozzle 134 (or other proper device) can be cooled to enough low temperature with described composite construction, thereby turns to around roller 136 under the situation that can not require the final serviceability of composite to have a negative impact.The compound 103 of half cooling turn to and through the tank 138 of a level to finish cooling procedure.
After leaving tank 138, uses compound 103 drying system 140 so that before recoiling, remove redundant moisture.Smooth to eliminate that bonding jumper 100 turns to or bonding and stress that produce on said roller.Then, recoil reel again material 103 after finishing of device 142.Can use unshowned gatherer to change and the silver lap variation to adapt to the roll coil of strip of recoiling on the device 142.
Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 have illustrated another embodiment of the present invention, and wherein, bonding jumper 150 moves in coating process vertically upward, and extrusion die 152,154 directly is coated onto the resin of fusion on the opposite both sides of bonding jumper.The system of Fig. 4 comprises a spreader 156, and bonding jumper 150 upwards moves through an induction pre-heater 158 from this spreader, moves past between two extrusion dies 152,154 then.Mould 152,154 is by unshowned common extruder feed.
Fig. 5 is the enlarged drawing of mould 152,154 when directly being coated onto extrudate 160,162 on the bonding jumper 150.The die orifice of this mould is located adjacent to the position of bonding jumper, and therefore, the power of the extrudate of discharging from this mould can act on bonding jumper.This mould be positioned in the scope of metal treaty 5 to 20mm and preferably apart from bonding jumper less than 10mm.Bonding jumper 150 moves than the about soon 10-20 of the extrudate translational speed that goes out from mould doubly, and therefore, by tractive bonding jumper on extrudate, extrudate will be rolled and thickness can reduce.Extrudate thickness on each surface of bonding jumper is in the scope of 0.0127 to 0.0508mm (0.0005-0.002 inch).
It is directly opposite one another that mould 152,154 is preferably in the opposed surface place of bonding jumper 150, therefore, can focus on the bonding jumper between the mould from the pressure of the extrudate of bonding jumper two opposite sides.The polymer of fusion is almost done closely to contact with the surface of bonding jumper after extrudate leaves said mould immediately, and therefore, polymer can not cool off or shrink before being coated onto bonding jumper.This just helps to guarantee uniform resinous coat is coated on the two sides of bonding jumper.
Bonding jumper 151 after the coating preferably moves through an induction type post-heater 164 from extrusion die 152,154, and this heater is more than compound the fusing point that is heated to mylar, to strengthen resin to compound bonding force.Then, compound by the fast cooling and move to through roller 166 and 168 and recoil device 170 of unshowned device.

In the operating process of said system, bonding jumper is by moving through described system at about 300-1500 feet per minute (fpm) or about 90-450 rice/minute (mpm) and the speed that is preferably in about 600-1200fpm (180-360mpm) scope.Higher speed can be boosted productivity significantly and can be reduced metal and is in time (residence time) under the high temperature.Short residence time is best to reducing metallicity decline to greatest extent sometimes.
With reference to Fig. 6, application system is illustrated as and comprises a roller 172, bonding jumper 174 is through this roller, thereby dosed to the preheating apparatus 173 that also passes through such as induction heater, this heater is according to the metal and the hardness of bonding jumper, and the predetermined character of coating back bonding jumper and the polymeric material factor that will apply are heated to the interior temperature of about 250-550 (121-288 ℃) scope with bonding jumper.The aluminum strip that will be applied with the mylar for the use of the plating bar in the packaging applications, better pre-heat rating is about 400 to 550 °F (204-288 ℃).Preheat temperature and reheat and the back heating-up temperature needn't be too high so that the predetermined character of the polymer coating on bullion or this metal is had a negative impact.
Sequentially apply two opposite surfaces with two extrusion dies 176,178 and two pair rollers 180,182 and 184,186 through the bonding jumper 174 of preheating.One or two unshowned extruder offers extrusion die 176,178 with the fluoropolymer resin of fusion.Described resin is offering the temperature that mould can have about 350 to 650 (177-343 ℃) scopes at 176,178 o'clock, and described extrusion die is preferably heated so that resin is remained on above-mentioned predetermined temperature by resistance device.Extrusion die 176,178 has elongated and narrow die cavity, and its length is substantially equal to the width of the bonding jumper 174 that is applying, and is about 10-85 inch (25.4-215.9cm) or more.The length of the above-mentioned die cavity preferably width with bonding jumper 174 is identical or wideer than the width of bonding jumper 174, and therefore, the polymer strip of extruding from each mould can cover bonding jumper fully.Described die cavity is long and narrow so that can extrude thin polymer strip.Described die cavity can reach 0.030 inch (0.762mm), is preferably in the scope of about 0.005 to 0.015 inch (0.127-0.381mm).Described extrusion die generally is common extrusion die and can have bought from a plurality of dealers.Mould 176 and 178 is discharged thin polymer strip 188 and 190, and they are become pair roller 180,182 and 184,186 to be coated onto on the two opposite sides of bonding jumper 174.
In first pair roller, roller 182 is casting rollers, and it contacts with the polymer strip 188 of discharging from mould 176, and roller 180 is backing rolls, and it is bearing in bonding jumper 174 on the casting roller.As mentioned above, the preferably hard metallic roll of casting roller 182, outside roller surface of backing roll 180 best rubber-likes or roller edge for example have the silicon rubber skin on it.Roller 180,182 is preferably cooled off by the cooling agent such as water that circulates in them.The casting roller is cooled to and is lower than about 150 °F (66 ℃), and therefore, polymer strip can not adhere to this roller.Backing roll 180 preferably internally and/or external refrigeration, to reduce fire damage to greatest extent to the elastic layer of this roller.Provide backing roll 181 to support backing roll 180 and to help backing roll is cooled off in selectable mode.
As shown in the figure, roller 180,182 is located abreast, and their axis is positioned at a substantially horizontal plane abreast, and therefore, bonding jumper 174 and polymer strip 188 can be dosed downwards in the roll gap and via the bottom of roll gap and leave.Bonding jumper 174 can be with described surface around about 0 to 120 ° arc before the outer surface that leaves backing roll is shifted to reheater 192.Polymer strip 188 on the bullion 174 is preferably done minimum contacting with casting roller 182, so as to reduce to greatest extent roller to polymer strip may adhere or roller to the negative interaction of polymer strip.Minimizing of this contact is specially adapted to mylar, and with regard to acrylic resin, the casting roller is (the seeing Figure 14) that conforms to requirement to the more contact and the stronger cooling of resin.With the power of every approximately linear inch 50-300 pound (pli) or the more preferably about 150pli of the preferably about 120-180pli of about 9.0-537kg/cm (21.5-32.2kg/cm) (26.9kg/cm) length roller 180,182 is pressed together along roll gap.But this power can make the outside of the elastic compression of backing roll 180 slightly be out of shape or is influenced, so that guarantee in that to have roller to act on the whole length of roll gap under the situation of power of bonding jumper very close to each other, and said power is a kind of elimination or regulates by the fluctuating of flaky material or the means of the uneven non-collimation that constitutes.But this power can not reduce the specification of described polymer or material.As previously mentioned, compressible stratum being expressed to can be at roll gap place formation roller 180,182 and bonding jumper 174 contacted narrow contact zones on the backing roll 180.According to the size of the power that roller is pinched together and the elasticity and the other factors of backing roll 180, typical contact zones about 1/4 to 1 inch (0.64-2.54cm) are wide, it is wide to be about 3/4 inch (1.9cm) usually.
After the one side that has applied bonding jumper 174, for example selectively this bonding jumper is heated once again with induction heater 192 or similar device.Can bonding jumper be heated to the interior temperature of about 250 to 550 (120-288 ℃) scopes again according to coated polymer, concerning polyester coatings, preferably bonding jumper be heated to about 400 to 550 °F (204-288 ℃) again.Concerning some application and some polyester, before another surface of plating bar 174, needn't heat this bonding jumper again.
Bonding jumper 174 moves to second extrusion die 178 and becomes pair roller 184,186 and optional chill roll 187 from reheater 192, they be used for second polymer strip 190 be coated to bonding jumper with by that side of the coated surface opposite of first polymer strip 188.Preferably shorter from the distance that exports to second roll gap of first roll gap, between two roll gaps, control the heat loss of this metal when mobile with the described metal of box lunch.Second mould 178 and second pair roller 184,186 except the roller counter-rotating all with first mould 176 with to become pair roller 180,182 similar, the second casting roller is positioned at the opposite side from the bonding jumper of the first casting roller, the axis of said roller is in different planes, and second mould 178 is in different directions.For making bonding jumper 174, substantially perpendicularly move through the plane of the bonding jumper of described die clearance and with vertical line via the plane of roller 184,186 axis and to have a certain degree along one straight substantially in the gap of line through second mould.So except the narrow contact zones that strain produced of the elastomeric material of backing roll 186 outsides, bonding jumper 174 has minimum contacting with roller 184,186.As previously mentioned, polymer on some mylar roller 184,186 and the bonding jumper 174 this minimum contacted it is believed that quality and the performance that helps to improve the final products after the coating.Concerning other polymer such as polypropylene, be preferably in bonding jumper after the coating and leave and reel with roller basically before the said roller and cool off this polymer.
The same with first group of roller, second group of roller 184,186 must be close on bonding jumper 174 and the polymer strip with enough power, all is close to individual in bonding jumper on the whole width of roll gap so that guarantee polymer strip 190.Power between second group of roller 184,186 should and preferably be about 120-180 (21.5-32.2kg/cm) at about 50-300pli (9.0-53.7kg/cm).
After having applied the both sides or surface of bonding jumper 174 with polymer strip 188,190, the system of metal after the bonding jumper of coating fully moves through post-heater 194 and is used to cool off coating.Although it is dispensable for purposes of the invention,, it is believed that the bonding jumper after should making coating when polymer solidifies because of cooling is done minimum contacting with roller or other mechanical device between application roll 184,186.For example, bonding jumper 174 preferably moves through post-heater 194 and the unshowned device that is used at least partly bonding jumper being cooled to the following temperature of fusing point that is being applied to the polymer on the bonding jumper at least along straight basically line from roller 184,186.In this way, can contact with polymer phase on the bonding jumper with roller or similar device preventing before the polymer cure, and roller or similar device can not have a negative impact to coating.
Post-heater 194 is induction heater, infrared heater, thermal convection current stove or two or three combination in them preferably, and this can quickly heat up to the resin of sheet and be at least about softening temperature, preferably be heated to more than the fusing point of polymer.Importantly, this heating can not be too high so that can produce significant harmful effect to bullion or the character that is coated in the polymer on this bonding jumper.Polymer is heated to is at least about its fusing point and can makes this polymer flow, thereby repair any defective and/or make the uneven coating on the bonding jumper become level and smooth.
After already bonding jumper having been carried out back heating, this bonding jumper is cooled off fast be essentially amorphous form so that coating is solidified into.At first should bonding jumper be cooled to partly below the fusing point of polymer, then with the chilled bonding jumper of cascade or the described part of tank quenching with air or other gas.It is believed that and water can be reduced to minimum to possible the adverse effect of the polymer that still is in molten condition with the local cool metal bar of air, just as used herein like that, " cooling fast " be meant after the coating bonding jumper move with about 300-1500fpm best to leave post-heater cooling polymer coating promptly afterwards when about 600-1200fpm moves.The cooling or quenching device be positioned in the scope of several feet for example about 5-50 feet of post-heater, therefore, the bonding jumper after coating leaves after the post-heater, polymer coating be preferably be cured be no more than about 10 seconds, more preferably be to be no more than about one second.
