[Prior art and problems to be solved by the present invention] Conventional spunbond nonwoven fabrics have good bulk and texture, but
Since the filaments were arranged almost randomly, the dimensional stability in the vertical and horizontal directions was poor, and the strength was also low. As a means to solve these problems, the present inventors previously filed a patent application in 1983.
No. 2-173927 (hereinafter referred to as Hikari Invention) discloses a method and apparatus for vertically or horizontally stretching a nonwoven fabric, a means for warp-warp laminating a vertically stretched nonwoven fabric and a horizontally stretched nonwoven fabric, and a method for arranging spun filaments in one direction. We proposed ways to do so. The present invention is another new invention for manufacturing a nonwoven fabric in which filaments are arranged in one direction, and is an additional patent to the previous invention.

As mentioned in the previous invention, even if conventional random nonwoven fabrics are simply stretched vertically or horizontally, the entanglements and adhesives that connect the filaments often come off, and the filaments cannot be stretched. In many cases, the strength of nonwoven fabrics cannot be increased. Therefore, it has been found that by stretching a nonwoven fabric in which filaments are arranged in one direction in the direction in which the filaments are arranged, the filaments are also stretched, and the strength of the nonwoven fabric is increased. Depending on the type of filaments constituting the nonwoven fabric, some nonwoven fabrics can provide sufficient strength and dimensional stability in the direction of arrangement simply by arranging the filaments without stretching. In the previous invention, hot air was used for scattering, so it was difficult to apply to nonwoven fabric production by wet, dry, or emulsion spinning using a solvent or dispersion medium.

In addition, in the previous invention, hot air was used as a means to first swirl or vibrate the spun filament in the width direction, so depending on the type of polymer material, the filament may not rotate or vibrate stably. Even if the hot air was then crossed, there were cases where the arrangement was not stable in one direction.

As a result of intensive research into these problems, we have developed a manufacturing method that can be applied to wet spinning, dry spinning, and emulsion spinning, and allows any type of spun filament to stably swirl and vibrate to scatter the filaments in one direction with good alignment. He came to invent a device.

In the method of manufacturing nonwoven fabric by melt-spinning a polymeric material, if you try to scatter the spun filaments with wind as in the previous invention, the scattering will not occur unless you use hot air heated above the melting point of the polymeric material. However, there were problems such as lumps and bulges, small particles being scattered, and insufficient alignment.

There is also a loss of thermal energy when heating a large amount of air, and there is also the problem that when hot air is jetted out vigorously, surrounding cold air is drawn in, reducing the humidity of the hot air. In addition, in order to scatter well, the spun filament must have a low viscosity and high spinnability, otherwise scattering will be insufficient.
The temperature of the molten polymer to be spun has a natural limit due to the thermal stability of the polymer and the heat resistance range of the spun MIll.As a means of solving the above-mentioned problems, the polymer can be dissolved in a solvent or immersed in a liquid. A high-molecular-weight polymer that is dispersed in an emulsion (hereinafter referred to as a solution-type spinning solution for simplicity) and then spun, so there is no need to heat the fluid that scatters the filaments, and the spinning solution has a high viscosity and good spinnability. Even if used, it can be freely selected by lowering the concentration of the spinning solution.

Or it must be in reciprocating motion (hereinafter referred to as vibration for simplicity)
Another problem with the previous invention was that this vibration relied on weak hot air near the spinneret, but depending on the type and viscosity of the polymer, it was unstable and could not produce stable vibration.

The present invention is based on the discovery that by vibrating the spinneret itself, it is possible to stably vibrate all types of polymers and even solution-type spinning solutions regardless of their viscosity. As a result of the experiment, the range of vibration amplitude is 1 mII.
If it is less than 5, no oscillating effect can be found.
- It is desirable that there be at least one. Also, the amplitude range is 300
It has been found that if the amplitude is wider than -, the uniformity of scattering cannot be maintained, and it is desirable that the amplitude be 5C1w or less. If the frequency of vibration is too slow, less than 60 times/min, the productivity of the nonwoven fabric will be poor and the accumulation of scattered filaments will be insufficient. In order to form a nonwoven fabric,
Desirably, it is necessary to vibrate at 300 times/min or more. More preferably, in a state of rotating or reciprocating at a cycle of 30 times/second (1800 times/minute) or more, subsequent scattering was stable.

With the above-mentioned invention that vibrates the solution-type spinning solution and the spinneret itself, not only heated gas but also unheated gas can be used as the fluid that vibrates and scatters the filaments.
It turns out that liquids or vapors, or even gases containing liquids, can be used. Furthermore, in order to give momentum to these fluids, fine powders of heavy solids or adhesive solids may be mixed.These fluids not only vibrate and scatter, but also cause coagulation and adhesiveness of the filament. It may also be a helping fluid.

Two methods of vibrating the spun filament have been described: one using air near the spinneret and the other using vibration of the spinneret. Another method is to use an electric field or a magnetic field and change the polarity of the electric field or magnetic field to give vibration. For example, a high voltage is applied to the spun filament, and a positive or negative electric field is applied to the charged filament. It is also possible to vibrate the spun filament by applying it alternately. This method is particularly suitable when spinning a large number of filaments from the spinneret, since the spun filaments do not come together and are often dispersed. It is okay to use both methods.

Another feature of the present invention is that the cross section of the filament is an elliptical cross-section or a modified cross-section that deviates from a perfect circle so as to be easily affected by the fluid. The point is that it was discovered that it is effective to make the shapes shifted. By making the filament have a cross section that is deviated from a perfect circle, the filament can be scattered and arranged well even in a small amount of low-pressure fluid.

The spun filament may be a single filament in the form of a monofilament, but if a large number of filaments are spun simultaneously in the form of a multifilament, vibrated at the same time, and scattered at the same time,
Production efficiency is also good, and like in the melt-blowing method for nonwoven fabrics, filaments may be ejected from a spinneret together with gas, and the ejected filaments may be vibrated and scattered.

The filament that vibrates and heads to the next scattering has not yet been completely solidified and must have more than twice the draft ability, and if the filament has completed solidification at this stage and has lost its draft ability. confirmed through experiments that even after moving on to the next scattering process, the scattering was insufficient and the arrangement was not good. Preferably, if the draft property is 10 times or more, and more preferably 100 times or more, the width of the scattered filaments will be wide, and the degree of alignment and uniformity of alignment will be good.When using a solution-type spinning solution, it is preferable to use a coagulation bath immediately after spinning. The filament may be vibrated by passing it through the coagulation bath and vibrating it at the coagulation bath outlet; in this case,
If the coagulation is completely completed, the draft property will gradually decrease, so it is necessary to proceed to the scattering step in a state where the draft property is at least twice as high.

Next, a method of applying fluid to scatter the vibrating filament will be explained. There are two ways to do this:
One method is to cause a pair or more of fluids to collide head-on on the filament with a pair of fluids that are approximately bilaterally symmetrical from the sides of a vibrating filament, thereby scattering the filament in a direction perpendicular to the jetting direction of the fluid. Another method is to intersect a pair or more of fluids that are approximately symmetrical from the sides around a vibrating filament within the filament's vibration range, and scatter the filaments in a direction that is approximately parallel to the jetting direction of the fluid. It's a method. In this case, the left and right fluids may be alternately and intermittently ejected to scatter filaments in the respective fluid ejection directions, which is also included in the present invention. When the left and right fluids are ejected intermittently, when the left and right fluids are ejected at the same time, they may be ejected at a focal point where they collide head-on.The sources of the fluids that are scattered in these two methods are not necessarily a pair. Although it is more efficient to install two or three pairs of spindles for one spindle, in the following explanation, one pair will be described to avoid complexity. These 2° methods are described in detail in the brief description of the drawings.

It is often desirable to stretch or roll the unidirectionally aligned nonwoven fabric of the present invention in the direction in which the filaments are arranged by the method of the earlier invention. The unidirectionally aligned nonwoven fabric has good thickness uniformity, good filament alignment, and does not easily generate lumps or lumps, making it a nonwoven fabric particularly suitable for stretching. Furthermore, it is also possible to produce a perpendicular nonwoven fabric by laminating a nonwoven fabric arranged in a direction perpendicular to the previous nonwoven fabric, and biaxially stretching the laminated nonwoven fabric in the direction in which each filament is arranged. . In this case, the biaxial stretching may be carried out sequentially or simultaneously.

In addition, in both l-axis stretching and biaxial stretching, lightly adhering or joining the nonwoven fabric before stretching is often suitable for increasing the strength by stretching.After stretching, the filaments are joined by adhesive or mechanical bonding. It is desirable for a strong non-woven fabric to be kept as long as possible.

The unidirectionally aligned nonwoven fabric of the present invention can be used alone; however, for boat fishing, nonwoven fabrics or fibrous webs (e.g. threads or stretched tapes arranged at regular intervals) aligned at right angles to the unidirectionally aligned nonwoven fabric of the present invention can be used alone. , widened toe,
It is often used in the form of an orthogonal non-woven fabric by combining it with a spun carded web. The combining process may be performed on a nonwoven fabric production line, or may be performed on a separate line. The materials to be combined may be a combination of nonwoven fabrics arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions using the same manufacturing method, but with a difference in the direction of fluid ejection. Alternatively, nonwoven fabrics arranged diagonally may be combined so that their arrangement directions are orthogonal to each other. Here, orthogonal means not only when they intersect at a strictly 90 degree angle, but also when they intersect at an angle of 30 to 150 degrees. It is also possible to make a 3- or 4-axis nonwoven fabric. In addition, the materials to be combined are made using the same manufacturing method.
Not only materials that differ only in the arrangement direction, but also completely different materials,
Also, even though the materials are similar, silk can be combined with completely different manufacturing methods. In view of the balance of physical properties, it is often desirable that the materials to be mixed be arranged perpendicularly to the direction in which the filaments of the nonwoven fabric of the present invention are arranged.

As for the method of combining and joining, adhesives such as powder or emulsion may be used, or mechanical joining such as needle bunching may be used. In addition, since the nonwoven fabric of the present invention has a very fine denier, if it is combined on a nonwoven fabric production line, no adhesive is required, and fine filaments can be joined by intertwining with each other. In addition, when manufacturing the nonwoven fabric of the present invention, filaments with adhesive properties are spun into a large number of spindles so that the nonwoven fabric itself contains an adhesive, and later it can be used with other materials simply by heating. It is also possible to connect it with In addition, in the case of a solution-type spinning solution, even after scattering and accumulating as unidirectionally aligned filaments, coagulation is not completed, and therefore those that still have self-adhesive properties can use their adhesive properties to bind filaments to each other. Perform gluing.

The present invention has made it possible to stably produce unidirectionally oriented nonwoven fabrics using any polymer with good unidirectional alignment, although the conventional method of producing unidirectionally oriented nonwoven fabrics had a very narrow range of stability. Therefore, it has become possible to easily produce filaments arranged vertically or horizontally using a solution-type spinning solution, and by combining this with a nonwoven fabric arranged in the right angle direction, it has become possible to create a nonwoven fabric with good vertical and horizontal dimensional stability. Also, molten polymers with high viscosity resulted in filaments that were well aligned in one direction, which was particularly suitable for producing strong nonwoven fabrics by drawing in the direction of filament alignment.

The filament was vibrated horizontally at a frequency of 0 times per minute, and a pair of water was sprayed vertically onto the area where the emerging filament was vibrating over a width of 30 minutes due to the force of the water (Figure 3). Method A)
, water was collided with the filaments, and the force of the horizontally scattered water caused the filaments arranged horizontally to accumulate on a running conveyor belt. Although the accumulated filaments have not yet finished coagulating, they are arranged vertically in a cellulose nonwoven fabric produced in the previous process, deposited on a conhair, and transported by the usual copper ammonia method. They were laminated together and both were treated with acid to form a non-woven fabric with vertical and horizontal dimension stability. In this case, when the filaments were laminated vertically and horizontally, coagulation had not yet been completed, and the filaments were adhesive to each other, so no particular adhesive treatment was necessary.
