質の向上及び生産速度の上昇に貢献することが出来た。Detailed Description of the Invention [0001] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applicable to photographic materials such as photographic film and photographic paper, photolithographic materials, magnetic recording materials such as magnetic recording tape, pressure-sensitive recording paper, Regarding improvements in the process of applying a liquid coating composition (hereinafter referred to as "coating liquid") to a continuously running long flexible support (hereinafter referred to as "web") in the production of recording materials such as heat-sensitive recording paper, More particularly, the present invention relates to improved extrusion or bead coating methods. [Prior Art] Various methods have been proposed for applying a coating liquid to a continuously running web. Generally, the coating process is divided into a part that transfers the coating liquid onto the web (hereinafter referred to as the "application system") and a part that measures the coating liquid transferred to the web to the desired amount of coating (hereinafter referred to as the "measuring system"). Therefore, coating methods were classified based on the differences in application type and measurement type. Based on differences in application systems, roller coating methods, dip coating methods, fountain coating methods, etc., and based on differences in metering systems, air knife coating methods, blade coating methods, bar coating methods, etc. have been known. In addition, extrusion coating methods, bead coating methods, and curtain coating methods have been known as methods in which application and measurement are performed in the same part. Among these methods, the extrusion coating method and the bead coating method have been used as precise coating methods that do not come into direct contact with the support, in which the liquid is discharged from a slot and coated on a traveling support by being wound around a backup roller. The above coating method is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 45-12390,
Regarding a multilayer coating device as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 46-26236, Japanese Patent Publication No. 50-142643
The coating method for a single layer disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 56-95363 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-11
Many patents have been filed, including a coating method and apparatus in which the ejection slot is located upward, as disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 0776. [0003] As a coating method using the above-mentioned extrusion coater, when high negative pressure is applied to the back of the coating liquid bridge during high-speed coating, or when pressure is applied to the front of the bridge, the coating is applied immediately over the entire width of the support. As a film is not formed, the common countermeasures are to temporarily narrow the clearance between the tip lip of the liquid injector and the web, or to discharge the coating liquid from an extrusion type liquid injector and wind it around a backup roller. In this method, a coating liquid bridge is formed on a supporting body that is moved, and the coating is applied by reducing pressure on the back part of the coating liquid bridge or applying pressure on the front part,
At the start of coating, set the liquid injector in the specified position, set the conditions for depressurizing the back of the coating liquid bridge or pressurizing the front, then discharge the coating liquid from the tip of the liquid injector, and then back up. A thin plate-shaped object is inserted for a short period of time at any position in the width direction of the gap between the support that is wound around a roller and the tip of the liquid injector, or the gas ejected from a thin tube or slit is inserted for a short period of time. A method has been used in which smearing is started by applying the material to the surface (Japanese Patent Application No. 1-130448). [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in this conventional method, when the clearance is narrowed, streak failures may occur due to deposits on the web, or the web may have creases, wrinkles, etc. due to process abnormalities. In this case, there is a problem in that the web gets caught on the tip end surface of the lip. In addition, with the method of inserting a thin plate-like object or the method of ejecting gas using a thin tube or slit, the insertion of the plate-like object or the ejected gas tends to cause wrinkles or ripples at the beginning of the application, resulting in streaks. There were problems such as the occurrence of The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and to eliminate streak failures and web catching failures at the start of coating during high-speed coating.
The purpose is to provide a good smearing method. [Means for Solving the Problems] The above objects of the present invention are (1)
) Dispense the coating liquid from an extrusion type liquid injection device,
In this method, a coating liquid bridge is formed on a support that is wound around a backup roller and travels, and the coating is applied by reducing pressure on the back side of the coating liquid bridge or applying pressure on the front side. The width of the front or rear of the gap between the tip of the liquid injector and the support that is set at a predetermined position at the time and discharges the coating liquid from the tip of the liquid injector, and then is wound around a backup roller and travels. An application method characterized by starting application by applying a liquid ejected from a thin tube to an arbitrary position for a short period of time. (2) Discharge the coating liquid from an extrusion type liquid injection device to form a coating liquid bridge on the support that is wound around a backup roller and travels, and reduce the pressure on the back of the coating liquid bridge or pressurize the front part of the coating liquid bridge. In the coating method, at the start of coating, the liquid injector is first set at the predetermined position for application, the coating liquid is discharged from the tip of the liquid injector, and then the liquid is placed on the support slightly behind the tip of the liquid injector. An application method characterized by starting application by directly applying liquid ejected from a thin tube for a short period of time. This is achieved by [0006] In the present invention, the thin tube that applies liquid for a short time to any position in the width direction of the gap between the support that is wound around the back-up roller and the distal end of the liquid injector is as follows:
Made of metal, resin, glass, etc. with an inner diameter of 0.
A circular or square shape, or a slit-shaped one with a diameter of about 2 to 1.5 mm is used. In the present invention, the liquid to be ejected from the thin tube is mainly a solvent contained in the coating liquid ejected from the liquid injector 4, water, or a low viscosity liquid similar to water. Also, the amount of liquid ejected at one time is 0.01
It has been confirmed that if the amount is less than 1 ml, smearing will not start, and if it is more than this, the shape of the beginning of smearing will deteriorate and cause streaks. In addition, it is preferable that the form of the liquid that is ejected at one time is in the form of a single droplet.If the liquid is ejected in a long radial manner, the applied liquid at the tip of the injector will be diluted and over a long period of time, a thin coating-like streak failure will occur.

In addition, it is preferable that the form of the liquid ejected at a time is in the form of a single droplet.If the liquid is ejected in a long straight line, the coating liquid near the tip 13 of the liquid injector will be diluted, resulting in thin coating streaks over a long period of time. is known to occur. The description up to this point also applies to the method of claim 2. Also,
Regarding the position of projecting this liquid, the method of claim 1 is shown in FIG.
And as shown in FIG. 2, the liquid ejector 6 is installed at any position in the width direction in front or behind the gap between the supports 1 to 2 which are wound around the backup roller 3 and travel and the tip 13 of the liquid injector.
Set the projection angle horizontally or 0 to 45 degrees upward. In the method of claim 2, a liquid ejector 6 is installed inside the decompression chamber 11 as shown in FIG. Aiming at support 1 , support 1 is running.
Project the liquid directly onto the surface. To further explain the present invention, the coating liquid in the present invention is not particularly limited, and includes a water or organic solvent liquid of a polymer compound, an aqueous pigment dispersion, a colloidal solution, and the like. Also,
Although the physical properties of the coating liquid are not particularly limited, it is preferable that the liquid applied onto the web has a low viscosity, and preferably 100 cps or less, particularly 50 cps or less. The surface tension is also not limited, but preferable results can be obtained with a surface tension of 50 dyne/cm or less. The web in the present invention includes paper, plastic film, resin-coated paper, eruminium web, synthetic paper, and the like. The materials of the plastic film include, for example, polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyvinyl acetate, and polyvinyl chloride; vinyl polymers such as polystyrene; polyamides such as 6,6-nylon and 6-nylon; polyethylene terephthalate; polyethylene-2; Polyesters such as 6-naphthalate, polycarbonates, and cellulose acetates such as cellulose triacetate and cellulose diacetate are used. Further, the resin used for resin-coated paper is typically polyolefin such as polyethylene, but is not necessarily limited thereto. [Function] The present invention bridges the gap between the support and the tip of the liquid injector using the liquid projected from the liquid ejector, or
Or, as the gap becomes narrower, in the latter case, the projected liquid remains attached to the web and travels with the web, and when it passes over the coater lip, it comes into contact with the coating liquid, giving rise to an opportunity for the coating liquid to coat the web. get. If you can apply it to one spot, the applied surface will spread along that area and you can apply it to the entire surface. [0010] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings. (Example 1) FIG. 1 is a perspective view (A) and a cross-sectional view (B) of a coating apparatus which is an embodiment of the coating method of the present invention. At the start of coating, the extrusion type liquid injector 4 is set at a predetermined application position, and after the coating liquid flows out from the discharge port of the liquid injector 4, the tip diameter 0.
The coating liquid is applied onto the web by projecting 0.5 ml of a liquid containing methanol from an 8 mm liquid ejector 6 into a minute gap of 0.4 mm between the tip 13 of the injector and the web 1. It spreads. (Example 2) Similarly, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a coating device showing another example, and in the above operation, the tip diameter was 0.8 m.
The liquid ejector 6 of 1.m is installed in the reduced pressure chamber 11 behind the coating liquid bridge at a position 20 mm from the tip 13 of the liquid injector, and the gap between the tip 13 of the liquid injector 13 and the web 1 is 0.4 mm. By spraying 3 milliliters of water, the coating solution was spread over the web, making it possible to perform coating at the start of coating. (Embodiment 3) Similarly, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a coating device showing another embodiment, and in the above operation, the liquid ejector 6
is installed in the vacuum chamber 11 behind the coating liquid bridge, and by spraying 0.5 ml of methanol directly onto the web at a position 15 mm upstream from the tip 13 of the liquid injector, the liquid adhering to the web 1 can be injected. When passing through the minute gap between the tip 13 of the liquid container and the web 1, the web 1 came into contact with the coating liquid flowing out from the discharge port of the coater 4, and the coating liquid was spread. When coating is started using the above method and the pattern is projected from the front of the front liquid injector, a bead is formed from the projected position as shown in FIG. 4(A) and the entire support is covered. It spreads all over the place. In addition, when projecting into the gap from the decompression chamber side or onto the web on the decompression chamber side, the applied liquid around the coating area is diluted by the projected liquid as shown in Figures (B) and (C), respectively. The top part will be uneven, but by the time the entire width is covered, the surface will be stable. Note that the horizontally lined portion in FIG. 4 indicates the coated surface. In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the angle of the coater with respect to the backup roller can be set freely. That is, the lower left (A), the lower right (B), the lower right (C), and (
D) The backup roller may be an air floating drum as shown. The liquid ejector can also be moved by attaching a moving device. Furthermore, a coating operation can be performed on the liquid ejector without moving the ejector by turning on and off the valve 7 shown in FIG. 1(B). [0012] The coating method of the present invention makes it possible to start coating without causing streak failures or web catching failures during high-speed coating, thereby improving coating quality and production. I was able to contribute to the increase in speed.
