【発明の詳細な説明】 [産業上の利用分野] 本発明は濾材に関するものであって、特にエンジン等

材に関するものである。
Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a filter medium, and more particularly to a filter medium for an oil filter or an air filter of an internal combustion engine such as an engine.

[Prior art] Conventionally, filter media for filters include wood pulp, cotton, hemp,
There is a filter paper made from rayon or the like by a wet papermaking method, a filter paper impregnated with a resin to increase strength and workability, and a filter paper impregnated with oil to improve life performance.

しかしながら、濾紙タイプのものは、表面でダストの
ほとんどを濾過しているため、濾材自体の圧力損失を大
きく、ライフも短いため、濾過面積を大きくする必要が
あり、濾材が多量に必要となる。オイルを含浸したもの
は、ライフは長いが濾過性能は低く、圧力損失は大きい
ため、やはり濾過面積を大きくとる必要がある。
However, since the filter paper type filters out most of the dust on the surface, the pressure loss of the filter medium itself is large and the life is short, so that it is necessary to increase the filtration area, and a large amount of filter medium is required. Oil-impregnated oils have a long life but low filtration performance and a large pressure loss, and therefore also require a large filtration area.

また、繊維径が比較的大きく、比較的大きな粒子は慣
性による濾過で捕集されるものの、炭素塵の様なさらに
細かい粒子は濾材からのもれが大きい。
Further, although the fiber diameter is relatively large, relatively large particles are collected by filtration by inertia, but finer particles such as carbon dust leak from the filter medium greatly.

On the other hand, in recent years, a fiber obtained by laminating fiber layers in a density gradient type using synthetic fibers as a raw material and solidifying with a binder, and further impregnating with a resin have been newly used.

The density gradient filter medium is formed such that the filter medium density changes from coarse to dense from upstream to downstream. In these filter media, the density is controlled by increasing the diameter of the fiber forming the layer, increasing the number of thick fibers upstream, and increasing the number of thin fibers downstream (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-40778,
JP-A-57-59614, JP-B-2-45484), those in which the distribution of the binder in the powder is controlled and the density is controlled (for example, JP-A-57-75117), only the density and basis weight are measured. Specified (for example, JP-A-62-279817)
Are disclosed. In the examples of JP-A-52-112859, the average pore size of each layer is described, but the upstream pore size is very large. Conventionally, no finding has been found that controlling the pore diameter of the layers on the upstream and downstream sides of the filter medium within a specific range improves the filter medium performance.

フの向上を図ることができる。
In any of the above filter media, large-sized particles are captured in the low-density layer on the upstream side, and fine particles are captured in the high-density layer, so that the life can be improved.

しかしながら、これら濾材は表面濾過が殆どできず、
濾材内部での目ずまりが起こりやすく、圧力損失が増大
するという欠点がある。また、濾材表面での濾過が殆ど
行われないので、ライフ向上には限界がある。
However, these filter media can hardly perform surface filtration,
There is a drawback that clogging easily occurs inside the filter medium and pressure loss increases. In addition, since the filtration on the surface of the filter medium is hardly performed, there is a limit in improving the life.

また、密度勾配がついているので、拡散による濾過で
比較的小さい粒子を捕集する反面、圧力損失を下げるた

の捕集効率は必ずしも満足の行くものではない。
In addition, because of the density gradient, relatively small particles are collected by filtration by diffusion, but the filter medium has a large pore size to reduce pressure loss, and the collection efficiency of relatively large particles is not always satisfactory. It is not what you go for.

In addition, the filter media using synthetic fibers has the advantage of reducing the density of constituent fibers in the high-density layer and increasing the resin impregnation to a relatively thick layer in order to enhance the dust collection performance. Although the thickness of the layer is increased, the thickness of the entire filter medium becomes unnecessarily large, causing a problem that the pressure loss increases and the processing is hindered.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present inventors have conducted intensive research to solve the above problems. As a result, at least two layers or more are used, and specific fine fibers are used in a layer arranged downstream from the dust inflow side, and the pore diameters of the upstream layer and the downstream layer are within a predetermined range. Thus, the present inventors have found that a filter medium having high collection efficiency, low pressure loss, and long life can be obtained, and the present invention has been completed.

The present invention relates to a filter medium having a diameter of 10 to 50 μm and an average pore diameter of 5 to 20 μm.

以下、本発明の詳細な説明を行う。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

By specifying the upstream pore diameter, the filtration is collected without being concentrated on the surface or inside the filter medium, so that the life of the filter medium is increased.

For measurement of pore size, see ASTM F-316 (American Socie
ety for Testing and Metirials), BS 6410 and 332
The method described in No. 1 (British Standard) was used in which the pressure applied to a filter medium filled with voids (holes) was increased and the manner in which the liquid was discharged from the holes during the process was monitored. These are common methods by which the maximum and average pore sizes of membranes and filters can be measured.

上流側に配置された層は、最大径が120〜250μm、平
均孔径が40〜90μmを有するものが好ましい。
The layer arranged on the upstream side preferably has a maximum diameter of 120 to 250 μm and an average pore diameter of 40 to 90 μm.

力損失が急激に大きくなり、濾材のライフが短くなる。
When the maximum pore diameter on the upstream side exceeds 250 μm or when the average pore diameter exceeds 90 μm, since filtration on the surface of the filter medium is difficult to be performed, dust is trapped in the deep layer inside the filter medium, and the pressure loss of the filter medium rapidly increases, The life of the filter media is shortened.

The filter material layer has a sheet-like structure, and the material is not particularly limited, but a material using a fibrous material is preferable. Examples of the sheet forming method include a dry method, a spun bond method, a melt blow method, and a wet papermaking method. However, it is difficult to produce a uniform sheet by the dry method, and the pore size distribution is not uniform, which is not preferable. In the spun bond method and the melt blow method, it is difficult to mix a plurality of fibers, for example, fibers having different fiber diameters and fiber lengths, fibers having different materials and shapes, and it is difficult to satisfy the physical properties of the filter medium of the present invention.

For this reason, it is preferable to use a wet papermaking method as the sheet forming method. The method for laminating the sheets is not particularly limited. Examples thereof include a method of laminating by a wet papermaking method, a method of heat-sealing wet-sheeted sheets, and a method of integrating with a needle or a high-pressure water flow.

The fiber diameter of the fiber that can satisfy the physical properties of the above-mentioned filter medium is 1 to 10 denier, preferably 1 to 6 denier. It is preferable that the fiber having this diameter is contained in 50% by weight or more of the fiber weight.
Use of a fiber finer than 1 denier in a range exceeding 50% by weight is not preferable because the pore size becomes small and the pressure loss increases. If it is larger than 10 denier, the pore size becomes large and dust enters the inside of the filter medium, causing a pressure loss. And the life of the filter medium is shortened.

Organic synthetic fibers having a fiber diameter of 1 μm or less have excellent dust collecting performance. As organic synthetic fibers, conventionally used flexible ones are not preferable because the pressure loss of the filter is high, which is not preferable. Therefore, the organic synthetic fibers are preferably as rigid as possible. Fiber is effective. The rigid linear polymer is a polymer having a chain length of 50 angstroms or more that maintains linearity in a solution, and examples thereof include poly (P-phenylene terephthalamide), poly (P-benzamide), and poly (P-benzamide). −

As an example of a method for obtaining a fiber having a fiber diameter of 1 μm or less, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No.
Microfibrillated ones using the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 0801 are mentioned. This method differs from the treatment by a refiner or the like used in a general papermaking process, in which a fiber or a pulp-like material is microfibrillated using a homogenizing device. That is, a fiber slurry obtained from a rigid linear polymer dispersed in water is passed through an orifice having a pressure difference of 200 kgf / cm 2 or more at the front and back thereof at a high speed, and immediately decelerated to form slurry particles. When a shearing force is applied, the fibers become microfibrils vertically divided in the direction of the fiber axis. This is obtained by repeating this step. Specific examples include microfibrillated fibers of poly (P-phenylene terephthalamide) (MFC-400, manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd.).

The organic synthetic fiber used in the present invention has a fine fiber diameter of 1 μm or less, which cannot be obtained by a commonly used method of grinding or shearing a fiber. In addition, it is well entangled with other fibers, can easily form a uniform slurry with other fibers, can be easily transferred to the next step, and can be efficiently manufactured by ordinary papermaking equipment.

The amount of the organic synthetic fiber having a fiber diameter of 1 μm or less is 0.01 to 10% by weight with respect to the fiber weight of the layer containing the fiber.
When the layer contains a fiber having a diameter of 2 denier or more and having a crimped or irregular cross section, the amount of the organic synthetic fiber having a fiber diameter of 1 μm or less is in a range of 25% by weight or less based on the fiber. If so, this is not the case.

If the amount of the organic synthetic fiber having a fiber diameter of 1 μm or less is less than 0.1% by weight, good collection efficiency cannot be obtained. If the content is more than 10% by weight, the collection efficiency increases, but the pore size of the filter medium becomes small, and the pressure loss increases, which is not preferable.

The filter medium thus produced can be further impregnated with a resin for the purpose of increasing strength and improving workability. The resin to be used may be any resin that can be cured by heat, an electron beam or ultraviolet light and plasticized.
