Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide improvement of cushion properties by preparing a cushion layer having three-dimensional network structure of specified apparent density and thickness from a thermoplastic resin wire of a specific diameter, and preparing a wadding layer of double track knitting of specific apparent density on the upper surface of the cushion layer. CONSTITUTION: A cushion layer of this bed mattress is formed by three- dimensional structure of a continuous wire with a diameter of less than 5mm of thermoplastic elastic resin. The structure is formed through fusion bonding of wire at most of contacting points of bending and twisting wires. The outer surface is of a flat network structure, so that a favorable shape keeping characteristic is generated against external deformation applied through a wadding layer. The network structure is set to have apparent density of 0.05∼0.1g/cm<3> , and thickness of larger than 5mm. In order to improve permeability of the bed mattress, the wadding layer utilizes double track knitting made of fibers of thermoplastic resin, and the apparent density is set to be 0.2g/cm<3> or lower.

However, the one using a hard steel wire spring for the cushion layer is remarkably excellent in supportability, but is inferior in bending property, and the hard steel wire spring is separated and treated at the time of disposal. Complexity is a big problem. The cushion layer or wadding layer or the one using foam-crosslinking type urethane for the cushion body has very good durability as a cushion body, but it has poor moisture permeability and heat storage property, so it easily gets damp and slightly bendable. In addition, since it is not thermoplastic and it is difficult to recycle it and it is incinerated, the incinerator is greatly damaged and the cost of removing toxic gas is high. For this reason, landfilling has become more frequent, but it is difficult to stabilize the ground, and there is a problem that landfilling sites are limited and costs increase. Further, although it has excellent processability, it also has a problem of pollution of chemicals used during manufacturing. In addition, recently, bed mats need to be washed due to the problem that hospital beds become hot beds such as MRSA, but urethane, which has poor water permeability, cannot be washed, which has become a social problem.

Polyester hard cotton for the cushion layer or the wadding layer or the cushion body, for example, JP-A-58-311.
50, JP-A-2-154050, JP-A-3
However, since an amorphous polymer in which the adhesive component of the heat-adhesive fiber used is brittle is used (for example, JP-A-58-136828 and JP-A-3-24).
(Patent No. 9213, etc.) There is a problem that durability is inferior such that the bonded portion is brittle and the bonded portion is easily broken during use, and the form and elasticity are lowered. Furthermore, it is inferior in bendability. Also, although it can be washed, it has a problem of poor drainage. As a method for improving durability, a method of entanglement treatment has been proposed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-245965 and the like, but brittleness of an adhesive portion is not solved and elasticity is largely reduced, and there is a problem that bending property is poor. . In addition, there is complexity during processing. Further, there is a problem that the bonded portion is hard to be deformed and soft cushioning is hard to be imparted. Therefore, a heat-bonded fiber using a polyester elastomer which is soft and recovers even if it is deformed to some extent and uses an inelastic polyester as a core component is disclosed in JP-A-4-240219, and a cushion using the fiber is disclosed. The body is WO-91 / 19032, JP-A-5-155651, JP-A-5-163.
No. 654, etc. The adhesive component used in this fiber structure contains 30 to 50% by weight of polyalkylene glycol as the soft segment of polyester elastomer, and 50 to 80 mol% of terephthalic acid as the acid component of the hard segment. However, similar to the fiber described in JP-B-60-1404 as another acid component composition, isophthalic acid is added to increase the amorphous property, and the melting point becomes 180 ° C. or lower, resulting in low melt viscosity and thermal bonding. The amoebar-shaped adhesive part is formed by improving the part formation, but it is easy to plastically deform, and because the core component is an inelastic polyester, the plastic deformation becomes remarkable especially under heating, and the heat resistance and compression resistance are high. There is a problem that it deteriorates, and it is inferior in bendability and can be washed, but it has a problem that drainability is poor. As a method of further improving the durability, a structure comprising only a polyester polyester elastomer containing isophthalic acid as a sheath component and a heat-bonding conjugate fiber using an inelastic polyester as a core component is disclosed in JP-A-5-163654. Although proposed, the plastic deformation under heating becomes remarkable due to the above-mentioned reason, the heat resistance and compression resistance are lowered, and there is a problem in using it for the cushion body.
Further, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-158094 proposes a method in which a silicone oil is added to a hard cotton base material to lower the coefficient of friction of fibers to improve durability and improve the texture.
However, there is a problem with the adhesiveness of the heat-adhesive fiber and the durability is poor, so it is not preferable for use in a cushion body. On the other hand, as a method of improving the bendability, a method of forming a folding structure is disclosed in JP-A-55-36373 and JP-A-2-142513.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-3894 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-3894, the bending property is improved, but the durability and the problem at the time of washing are not improved, and there are many problems when used as a cushion body. is there. In addition, a cavity is formed in the bent portion to improve the bendability, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-28.
Although there is a publication such as Japanese Patent No. 5031, the problem of foam such as urethane or the problem of hard cotton cannot be solved at all.

A thermoplastic olefin network used for civil engineering work is disclosed in JP-A-47-44839. As a cushion body using them, Shokai 58
No. 93270 discloses a laminated structure of a hard structure and a soft structure. No. 58-95760 discloses a structure having an air conditioning unit inside a net having a hard structure.
Although Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 05714 describes that a net-like body that is assumed to have a hard structure is used, no consideration is given to heat resistance and durability, comfortableness to sleep, handleability such as weight reduction and washability.
Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 58-109670 proposes a mesh body having irregularities on one side, but unlike a cushion made of thin fibers, the surface is uneven and the touch is bad, and heat resistance durability, sleeping comfort and weight reduction are achieved. No consideration was given to handling such as washing and washing. Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 6-327723 discloses a reticulated body having a hole portion into which a cleaning pipe, a ventilation pipe, etc. can be mounted. However, since the material is olefin, the heat resistance and durability are remarkably inferior, and the weight reduction and the washability are achieved. It is not possible to use it as a wadding layer or cushioning material because it is not considered in handling. In addition, Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-1766
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-61 also discloses a method in which ejection filaments having different fineness are fused to each other to form a mole, but a net-like structure which is not suitable as a cushion material. Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 3-55583 describes a method of thinning only a very surface with a thinning device such as a rotating body before cooling. With this method, the surface cannot be flattened and a thick thin linear layer cannot be formed. Therefore, it does not provide a comfortable cushioning material. Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1-207462 discloses a vinyl chloride floor mat, but it is not preferable as a cushioning material because it has poor compression recovery at room temperature and remarkably poor heat resistance. Note that no consideration is given to the bed mat in the above structure.

Since it is necessary to impart flame retardancy as a preferred embodiment of the bed mat of the present invention, the phosphorus content (Bppm) in the thermoplastic elastic resin is 60A + 200 ≦ B ≦ with respect to the soft segment content (A weight%). It is good to satisfy the relationship of 100,000. If not satisfied, flame retardancy may be inferior. If it exceeds 100,000 ppm, the plastic deformation due to the plasticizing effect becomes large and the heat resistance of the thermoplastic elastic resin becomes poor, which is not preferable. Preferable phosphorus content (Bpp

(% By weight), 16A + 2600 ≦ B ≦ 50000. For flame retardancy, there is a method to add a high level of flame retardancy by adding a large amount of halides and inorganic substances, but when burning, a large amount of toxic halogen gas with a small lethal amount is generated, and there is a problem of poisoning during fire. Therefore, in the incineration, the damage of the incinerator becomes large, so that in the present invention, the preferable halide content is 10% by weight or less, the more preferable halide content is 5% by weight or less, and the most preferable halide content is It does not. As the phosphorus-based flame retardant of the present invention, for example, in the case of a polyester-based thermoplastic elastic resin, a flame-retardant in the hard segment portion during resin polymerization is described, for example, in JP-A-51-82392.

A flame-retardant property is imparted by adding a phosphorus-based compound such as tris (2.4-di-t-butylphenyl) -fusphite in a subsequent step to the thermoplastic thermoplastic resin or in the thermoplastic elastic resin. can do. Other flame retardants capable of imparting flame retardancy include various phosphoric acid esters, phosphorous acid esters, phosphonic acid esters (the above phosphoric acid esters containing a halogen element as necessary), or polymers derived from these phosphorus compounds. It can be illustrated. In the present invention, various modifiers, additives, colorants and the like can be added to the thermoplastic elastic resin as needed. Phosphorus is added to the flame-retardant adhesive component of the cushion layer netting or wadding layer constituting the bed mat of the present invention in order to provide flame retardancy. The reason is, as described above, from the viewpoint of safety. The goal is to minimize the use of toxic gases, such as cyanogen gas and halogen gas, which are produced in the event of fire and have a low lethal dose. For this reason, the toxicity index of the combustion gas of the net, the wadding layer and the reinforcing layer constituting the bed mat of the present invention is preferably 6 or less, more preferably 5.5 or less. Further, when polyester fibers are used for the side material or the reinforcing layer, it is preferable to use a polyester-based thermoplastic elastic resin so that the material can be recycled without being separated.

The component comprising the thermoplastic elastic resin constituting the bed mat of the present invention preferably has an endothermic peak below the melting point in the melting curve measured by a differential scanning calorimeter. Those having an endothermic peak below the melting point have significantly improved heat resistance and sag resistance than those having no endothermic peak. For example, a preferable polyester-based thermoplastic resin of the present invention contains 90 mol% or more of terephthalic acid or naphthalene 2.6 dicarboxylic acid having rigidity in the acid component of the hard segment, more preferably terephthalic acid or The content of naphthalene 2.6 dicarboxylic acid is 95
After transesterification of the glycol component with mol% or more, particularly preferably 100 mol%, polymerization is carried out to a required degree of polymerization, and then, as the polyalkylene diol, the average molecular weight is preferably 500 or more and 5000 or less, particularly preferably 100
When the polytetramethylene glycol of 0 or more and 3000 or less is copolymerized in an amount of 15% by weight or more and 70% by weight or less, more preferably 30% by weight or more and 60% by weight or less, the acid component of the hard segment has rigidity. When the content of a certain terephthalic acid or naphthalene 2.6 dicarboxylic acid is high, the crystallinity of the hard segment is improved, the plastic deformation is less likely to occur, and the heat resistance and sag resistance are improved. When the annealing treatment is performed at a temperature lower by at least 10 ° C. or more, the heat resistance and sag resistance is further improved. If annealing is performed after applying compressive strain, heat resistance and sag resistance are further improved.
The reticulated body treated in this way has a melting curve measured by a differential scanning calorimeter, and more clearly shows an endothermic peak at a temperature of room temperature or higher and melting point or lower. If annealing is not performed, no endothermic peak appears in the melting curve above room temperature and below the melting point.
By analogy with this, it is considered that the annealing causes rearrangement of the hard segments and formation of pseudo-crystallization-like cross-linking points to improve the heat resistance and sag resistance. (This process is defined as pseudo crystallization process)
This pseudo-crystallization treatment effect is also effective for polyamide-based elastic resins and polyurethane-based elastic resins.

In the basic cushion layer of the bed mat of the present invention, continuous filaments made of a thermoplastic elastic resin having a fiber diameter of 5 mm or less are bent and brought into contact with each other, and most of the contact portions are fused and integrated. 3D three-dimensional structure is formed, and both sides are substantially flattened. Therefore, even when external deformation is applied through the wadding layer, especially when a large deformation stress is locally applied. , The flattened mesh surface receives the deformation stress and disperses the deformation stress, and the filaments made of the thermoplastic elastic resin form a three-dimensional three-dimensional structure and are fused and integrated. By deforming and absorbing the deforming stress by energy conversion, it receives the deforming stress with a low repulsive force due to rubber elasticity, so it prevents extreme local subsidence and gives the human body a soft grasping force against the human body. Expressing preferred type retaining function can be obtained. The bed mat also requires a vibration absorbing function. The cushion layer made of the net-like body of the present invention absorbs and attenuates most of the vibration applied from the outside at the time of bed-in or turning over by the vibration absorbing function of the thermoplastic elastic resin, and also exhibits a preferable vibration absorbing function. When the deformation stress is released, the rubber elasticity of the thermoplastic elastic resin has a function of easily recovering the original shape, and therefore the sag resistance is also good. Furthermore, since the porosity is high and the ventilation hole diameter is extremely large, the ventilation resistance is low and the ventilation is extremely good, and when the deformation stress is changed due to rolling over, etc., the linear line having the rubber elasticity of the thermoplastic elastic resin has a three-dimensional shape. As the structure is formed and fused and integrated, the entire structure is compressed and recovered by deformation, and the air containing steam and heat accumulated in the cushion layer that has permeated through the wadding layer is discharged during compression and recovered. Since the bed mat has a pump function of replacing with fresh air at the time, heat and steam can be easily transferred between the wadding layer and the cushion layer, and the bed mat can provide a comfortable sleep that is hard to be stuffy. For this purpose, the wire diameter of the filament made of thermoplastic elastic resin having good vibration absorption and elastic recovery forming the reticulated body of the present invention is 5 mm.
It is the following. When the apparent density is 0.2 g / cm 2 or less, if the thickness exceeds 5 mm, the number of components will be small, density unevenness will occur, and a structure with poor durability can be partially formed, and fatigue due to stress concentration will increase and durability will increase. It is not preferable because it decreases.
If the wire diameter of the filament made of the thermoplastic elastic resin of the present invention is too small, the anti-compression property becomes too low and the stress absorbability due to deformation decreases, so it is 0.01 mm or more. It is 3 mm or less so as not to impair compactness. More preferably, it is 0.05 mm or more and 2 mm or less. The average diameter of the continuous loop random loops forming the reticulated body of the present invention is preferably 50 mm or less, and particularly preferably 2 to 25 mm in order to achieve the object. When the apparent density of the reticulate body of the present invention is 0.005 g / cm 3 , the repulsive force is lost, the deforming stress absorbing ability and the vibration absorbing ability are insufficient, and the cushioning function may not be easily expressed.
If it is cm 3 or more, the repulsive force may be too high and the sitting comfort may be poor, but in the present invention, it is 0.10 g / cm 3 or less for the purpose of reducing the weight and improving the handleability. 0.01 g / cm 3 or more and 0.08 g / cm 3 or less are preferable, and more preferably 0.02 g / cm 3 or more and 0.06 g, in which the function as a cushion body is easily expressed by utilizing the vibration absorbing ability and the deformation stress absorbing function. / Cm 3 or less. As a preferred embodiment, a method in which the reticulate body in the present invention has a different fineness laminated structure in which linear shapes having different wire diameters are combined with an apparent density to have an optimum configuration can be selected. The thickness of the mesh body of the present invention is required to be 5 mm or more. If the thickness is less than 5 mm, the stress absorbing function and the stress dispersing function are deteriorated, which is not preferable. A preferable thickness is 10 mm or more, more preferably 20 mm, as a surface function for dispersing force and a function for absorbing vibration and deformation stress.
It is not less than 500 mm. If the thickness of a single plate is 500 mm or more, the bendability described below deteriorates. Therefore, when a thicker cushion layer is desired, a cushion layer having a thin thickness of 500 mm or less, preferably 200 mm or less is not bonded as desired. By stacking with, it is possible to prevent the bending property from being impaired. In the case of stacking so as to have a thickness of 500 mm or less, the interface may be joined, and even if it is not joined, since the surface is flat, the transmission of stress is transmitted by the surface, so there is no problem in deformability. If the surface of the mesh body is not substantially flattened, the local external force transmitted from the wadding layer cannot receive the deformation stress on the surface, and the surface line and the bonding point are selectively exposed. The stress concentration may occur because the function to disperse the deformation stress is reduced, and the stress concentration may occur against such external force, which may cause fatigue due to stress concentration. . When the filaments are made of thermoplastic elastic resin, the entire structure is deformed in the three-dimensional structure portion, so stress concentration is relieved, but the body shape retention function is also deteriorated as the fatigue is advanced.
In the case of non-elastic resin, stress concentrates on the bonding point as it is, causing structural destruction and cannot be recovered. Furthermore, if the surface is not substantially flattened and has irregularities, it gives a feeling of foreign matter to the back, buttocks, etc. when the person sleeps, which is unfavorable because it makes the sleeping comfort worse. When the linear shape is not continuous, the adhesive point of the filament becomes a stress transmitting point, so that remarkable stress concentration occurs at the adhesive point and structural destruction occurs, resulting in poor heat resistance and durability, which is not preferable. There is a problem that the compression resistance is inferior even at the stage where the structure is not destroyed, and the body shape retention property is inferior.If the density is increased to solve this problem, the porosity decreases, the air permeability decreases and the comfort decreases, and the weight also decreases. It becomes heavy and the handling is extremely poor. If they are not fused, the shape cannot be maintained and the structure does not deform integrally, resulting in a fatigue phenomenon due to stress concentration and poor durability, and at the same time deforming the shape and making it impossible to maintain the body shape, which is not preferable. . The more preferable degree of fusion bonding of the cushion layer of the present invention is a state in which most of the portions in contact with the filaments are fused, and most preferably all the contact portions are fused. In a net-like body composed of known filaments made only of non-elastic resin, when it receives a large deformation stress that cannot be absorbed by the surface layer, it does not have rubber elasticity and it does not easily deform and shows a large repulsive force. In addition, since it exhibits a strong repulsive force, it gives an unpleasant body-supporting feeling and exhibits an unfavorable body-shape holding function. Further, due to the compressive deformation, plastic deformation occurs and the recovery is lost, and the durability is poor. Further, since it has almost no pump function by compression recovery, the function of reducing stuffiness is inferior. The cross-linkable polyurethane has excellent vibration absorption function and sag resistance because it is an elastic resin, but it has a structure that facilitates stress transmission, so it can easily follow local deformation to prevent extreme local subsidence. Occurs, and the function of maintaining body shape is poor. Further, the foamed polyurethane is a cushion layer which becomes a bed mat which is apt to get damp because it has extremely poor air permeability and does not provide comfortable sleeping comfort. The bed mat of the present invention is a double russel knit cushion made of a fiber made of a thermoplastic resin in the wadding layer for the purpose of further improving breathability, preventing congestion, and allowing the cushion material to be directly melted and recycled for recycling. Laminate on both sides of the layer or on one side on the front side. The surface of the double Russell knit to be laminated is composed of loops,
Since it is not a dense structure like woven fabric, it has a large degree of freedom to follow the deformation pressure, and even a slight change causes the movement of the contact point that supports the compression force, and the compression point of the body surface changes and the wadding function that is less likely to cause congestion. , The intermediate layer has a low density,
It has extremely good air permeability, makes it easy for heat and steam to move, and makes it difficult to steam. The laminated structure with the cushion layer receives compressive stress in the entire structure and is deformed, but since the cushion layer only receives the local high compressive stress point in contact with the human body with the rough beam of the net structure, the high compressive stress on the body surface is high. The number of points is further reduced compared to the double Russell knit only, and the wadding function that is less likely to cause congestion can be expressed. Further, since the cushion layer has a pumping function for replacing fresh air, the bed mat is extremely resistant to stuffiness due to the synergistic effect that heat and steam on the surface of the bed mat move remarkably quickly. Their functions are to suppress stuffiness, reduce congestion, and send fresh air to the skin surface through the lateral area, thereby effectively acting as a synergistic effect for preventing floor rubs. In order to give a particularly remarkable effect as described above, it is desirable that the air exhausted from the side surface of the cushion layer through the side fabric has a permeability of 50 cc / cm 2 seconds or more. This can provide a bed mat that is cool even in the summer when the temperature and humidity of the outside air are high. If the density of the double russel knit constituting the wadding layer of the present invention is too high, the apparent density is 0.2 g / cm because the congestion prevention function is decreased due to the increase of the high compression stress supporting area, the air permeability is poor, and the stuffiness preventing effect is decreased. 3 or less is required. When the apparent density is too low, the anti-compression property is lowered and the function of the wadding layer is deteriorated.
g / cm 3 or more 0.1 g / cm 3 or less porosity of 90% or more, more preferably an apparent density of 0.04 g / cm 3 or more 0.06 g / cm 3 or less in porosity is 95% or more. If the thickness of the double Russell knit is less than 2 mm, the function of the wadding layer is deteriorated. When the thickness is 20 mm or more, the cushioning layer has a useful moderate depression and the soft gripping force lowers the figure-holding function and vibration-absorbing function of supporting the body. Preferred thickness is 3
It is not less than mm and not more than 15 mm, more preferably not less than 5 mm and not more than 10 mm. When double Raschel knit is laminated on both sides of the cushion layer, it is possible to obtain the function of preventing congestion and the stuffiness on both sides. It can be used in such a manner that it is laminated only on one side and a wadding layer having another function, for example, a function of excellent heat retention, is laminated on the other side and used properly in summer and winter. The interface between the cushion layer and the wading layer of the laminated cushion body may be joined to each other, and even if they are not joined, since the surface is flat, the transmission of stress is transmitted by the surface, so there is no problem in the deformation adaptability. In the case of joining, it is preferable to use a thermoplastic elastic resin having stretchability as an adhesive component in relation to the foldability of the bed mat described later. If the temperature of the adhesive component is less than 100 ° C through the melting point or flow, the heat resistance is inferior.
Since heat adhesion is difficult with the above, 100 ℃ or more 200 ℃
The following are preferred. Thus, the laminated cushion body is wrapped in the side cloth to form the bed mat of the present invention. The bed mat of the present invention has, in addition to the above-mentioned features, excellent bendability and washability. That is, since the cushioning material has elasticity, it has excellent bendability and can be used for a bed for nursing care or the like that requires raising the head or upper body. When used as a mattress, it can be folded and stored. If the cushion layer is made of non-elastic resin, it is difficult to bend. If a material made of a hard material is bent forcibly, the bent part may be destroyed, and if a material made of a soft material is plastically deformed, the cushion is dented near the bent part, and if repeatedly bent, it breaks due to bending fatigue. Since the cushion layer of the present invention is made of an elastic resin and the laminated structure of the double Rassel knit having a high degree of freedom in deformation, it is easy to fold and is resistant to plastic deformation even with repeated folds and excellent in durability. This is a big difference. In order to improve the bending property, a structure having a bending structure has been proposed. However, unlike the cushion layer of the present invention, the non-elastic resin is used for the cushion layer, so that the durability is poor.
The good washability is that the cushion layer of the present invention has a wire diameter of 0.01, as compared with a cushion layer made of normal fibers having a fiber diameter of 0.001 mm or less.
Since the double russell knit of the wadding layer has a low density and a small number of constituents, the surface area of the filaments is extremely small and the moisture adhering to the filament surface can be reduced, so that the drainage property is particularly excellent. Since it has good draining property, the drying time can be shortened. Therefore, the bed mat of the present invention can be washed frequently, and as a result, a clean bed mat can always be used. For washing the bed mat of the present invention, the side ground and the cushion body can be washed separately, or can be washed in a circle. Commercial beds may be sterilized as needed. For sterilization, ethylene oxide gas below 100 ° C or steam at 130 ° C is generally used. The bed mat of the present invention can be sterilized without being deformed by sterilizing it in less than 15 minutes without applying compressive stress. However, in the case of using a known olefin-based or vinyl chloride-based material, The difference from the present invention is that the heat resistance is poor and plastic deformation is caused by heating during sterilization, resulting in loss of bulk. In addition, by performing the above-mentioned pseudo crystallization treatment at any stage from the step of forming the net body and the laminated cushion to the product, the component made of the thermoplastic elastic resin in the net body is melted by a differential scanning calorimeter. It is more preferable that the curve has an endothermic peak at a temperature of room temperature or higher and melting point or lower, because the stretchability and heat resistance of the thermoplastic elastic resin are remarkably improved, and the heat resistance and durability of the product are remarkably improved.

The compression resistance can be adjusted according to the fineness and the modulus of the material used to make the wire diameter thin, and for soft materials the hollow ratio and the degree of irregularity can be increased to adjust the gradient of the initial compression stress, and the wire diameter can be made slightly thicker. For materials with a slightly high modulus, the hollowness and the degree of irregularity are reduced to provide good anti-compression properties with good sleeping comfort. As another effect of the hollow cross section and the irregular cross section, by increasing the hollow ratio and the irregularity, it is possible to reduce the weight when the same anti-compression property is given, and when changing the bed mat or futon, raise and lower it. The handling property at the time is improved. As another preferable method for imparting preferable anti-compression property (repulsive force) and touch, there is a method of forming the filament of the reticulated body of the present invention into a composite structure. Examples of the composite structure include a score core structure, a side-by-side structure, and a combination structure thereof. However, in particular, 50% or more of the linear surface is made of a soft thermoplastic elastic resin in order to form a three-dimensional three-dimensional structure capable of energy-converting and recovering vibration and deformation stress that cannot be energy-converted even if the cushion layer is largely deformed. Occupied by
Examples thereof include a score structure, a side-by-side structure and a combination structure thereof. In the sheath core structure, the sheath component is a thermoplastic elastic resin with a large content of soft segments that can easily convert energy into vibration and deformation stress, and the core component is a thermoplastic elastic resin with a small content of soft segments that exhibits anti-compression properties. It is made of resin and can give a comfortable touch to contact parts such as the back and buttocks due to an appropriate degree of depression.
With the side-by-side structure, vibration and deformation stress
Soft segment content that can be easily converted Soft segment content that occupies a linear surface by lowering the melt viscosity of the thermoplastic elastic resin that has low soft segment content and thermoplastic resin that exhibits anti-compression property A soft segment occupying a linear surface as a structure with a large proportion of thermoplastic elastic resin (metaphorically, a structure in which a thermoplastic elastic resin is arranged in an eccentric sheath-core structure) It is particularly preferable that the proportion of the thermoplastic elastic resin having a large content is 80% or more, and most preferably the sheath core having the proportion of the thermoplastic elastic resin having a large content of the soft segment occupying the linear surface as 100%. Is. When the proportion of the thermoplastic elastic resin with a large soft segment content that occupies the linear surface is large, the flowability when melting and fusing is high, so there is the effect of strengthening the adhesion, and the structure deforms as a unit. In this case, the fatigue resistance against stress concentration at the bonding points is improved, and the heat resistance and durability are further improved. When the filaments of the net-like body forming the cushion body of the present invention have a composite structure, a heat-bonding function can be imparted, and a heat-bonding integral structure with a double Russell knit can be realized. For example, the linear structure of the mesh is
As a score structure, the sheath component has a large soft segment content that makes it easy to energy-convert vibrations and deformation stresses. The thermoplastic elastic resin is used as a thermal adhesive component, and the soft segment content showing the anti-compressibility of the core component is small. The thermoplastic elastic resin is used as a high-melting-point component for providing a net-like shape-holding function, and the melting point of the heat-adhesive component is 1 from the melting point of the high-melting-point resin.
The function of the heat-bonding layer can be imparted by using the one whose temperature is lowered by 0 ° C. or more. In addition, only one side is integrated with double raschel knit by heat bonding, and the other side is short fiber web, non-woven fabric,
A cloth body or the like can be heat-bonded and integrated into a cushion body or a product. The cushion body obtained by laminating the cushion layer and the wadding layer and joining them by using non-bonding or using an adhesive or the like is used for vehicle seats, ship seats, vehicle seats, ship seats, hospital beds and other commercial and household beds and furniture. It is also useful as a cushion body for office chairs, office chairs, duvets, and the like.

Next, the manufacturing method of the present invention will be described. A thermoplastic elastic resin is discharged downward from the nozzle at a melting temperature higher than its melting point by 20 ° C. or more and less than 80 ° C. from a multi-row nozzle having a plurality of orifices, and they are brought into contact with each other in a molten state to be fused. This is a method of producing a bed mat in which a three-dimensional structure is formed, sandwiched by a take-up device, cooled in a cooling tank, and then double Russell knit made of a thermoplastic resin is laminated on both sides or one side to cover a side material. The reticulate body is obtained by melting a thermoplastic elastic resin by using a general melt extruder, supplying the multi-row nozzle having a plurality of orifices, and discharging the resin downward from the orifices. The melting temperature at this time is 20 ° C. to 80 ° C. higher than the melting point of the thermoplastic elastic resin. If the melting temperature is higher than 80 ° C. higher than the melting point of the thermoplastic elastic resin, thermal decomposition becomes remarkable and the rubber elastic properties of the thermoplastic elastic resin deteriorate, which is not preferable. On the other hand, unless the temperature is higher than the melting point of the thermoplastic elastic resin by 10 ° C. or more, melt fracture occurs and normal filament formation cannot be performed. Further, when the filament is formed by looping after discharge and is brought into contact and fused. The temperature may be lowered and the filaments may not be fused to each other, resulting in a network having insufficient adhesion, which is not preferable. The preferred melting temperature is 20 ° C to 60 ° C above the melting point, more preferably 25 ° C to 40 ° C above the melting point. The shape of the orifice is not particularly limited, but may be a hollow cross section (for example, a triangular hollow, a round hollow, a shape with a projection, etc.) and / or an irregular cross section (for example, a triangular, Y-shaped, star-shaped cross-section secondary mode). In addition to the above effects, it is difficult for the three-dimensional structure formed by the discharge filaments in the molten state to relax the flow, and on the contrary, the flow time at the contact point is maintained for a long time to strengthen the adhesion point. It is particularly preferable because it can be JP-A 1-2
When heating for adhesion as described in Japanese Patent No. 075,
It is not preferable because the three-dimensional structure is easily relaxed, the two-dimensional structure becomes a planar structure, and the three-dimensional three-dimensional structure becomes difficult. As the effect of improving the properties of the mesh body, the apparent bulk can be increased and the weight can be reduced,
In addition, the anti-compression property is improved, and the elasticity is also improved, which makes it difficult to reach the end. In the case of a hollow cross section, if the hollow ratio exceeds 80%, the cross section tends to be crushed.
0% to 70%, more preferably 20% to 60%
It is the following. The pitch between the holes of the orifice needs to be a pitch with which the loop formed by the line can sufficiently contact. The pitch between holes is shortened for a dense structure, and the pitch between holes is lengthened for a coarse structure. The pitch between the holes of the present invention is preferably 3 mm to 20 mm, more preferably 5 mm to 10 mm. In the present invention, different densities and different fineness can be obtained as desired. The different density layer can be formed by a configuration in which the pitch between rows or the pitch between holes is also changed, or a method in which the pitch between both rows and holes is also changed. Also, if the pressure loss difference at the time of discharge is given by changing the cross-sectional area of the orifice, the principle that the discharged amount of molten thermoplastic elastic resin extruded from the same nozzle at a constant pressure becomes smaller for the orifice with larger pressure loss, is used. It is possible to manufacture a reticulated structure composed of filaments of different fineness by using a nozzle having at least a plurality of rows having different cross-sectional areas of orifices in a section in the longitudinal direction. Then, the liquid is discharged downward from the nozzle, and while forming a loop, they are brought into contact with each other in a molten state to be fused to form a three-dimensional structure, and are sandwiched by a take-up net to melt the surface of the net-like body. Bending the twisted discharge line of 45 degrees or more to deform it to flatten the surface and at the same time bond the contact points with the unbent discharge line to form a structure, and then continuously cool the medium (usually at room temperature). It is preferable to use the water of (1) because the cooling rate can be increased and the cost can be reduced). The distance between the nozzle surface and the take-off point is preferably at least 40 cm or less to prevent the discharge filament from being cooled and the contact portion not being fused. When the discharge amount of the discharge line is as large as 5 g / min or more, 10 cm to 40 cm is preferable, and when the discharge amount of the discharge line is less than 5 g / min hole, 5 cm to 20 cm is preferable. The thickness of the net-like body is determined by the opening width (interval between the take-up nets) of the take-up net sandwiching both surfaces of the three-dimensional structure in the molten state. In the present invention, the opening width of the take-up net is set to 5 mm or more for the above reason. Next, it is drained and dried, but if a surfactant or the like is added to the cooling medium, draining and drying may be difficult, or the thermoplastic elastic resin may swell, which is not preferable. In addition, the distance between the nozzle surface and the take-up conveyor installed on the cooling medium for solidifying the resin, the melt viscosity of the resin (the melt viscosity at the time of forming the mesh body is preferably 500 poises to 10000 poises, and above 20000 poises). It is not preferable because the loop forming speed becomes slower and it becomes difficult to form a dense net-like structure.), And the desired loop diameter and wire diameter can be determined by the orifice hole diameter and the discharge amount. A pair of take-up conveyors with adjustable intervals installed on the cooling medium sandwich and hold the molten discharge filaments to fuse the parts that are in contact with each other and continuously draw in the cooling medium to solidify them. By adjusting the distance between the conveyors when forming the body, the thickness can be adjusted while the fused net-like body is in a molten state, and a desired thickness can be obtained. If the conveyor speed is too high, the formation of contact points may be insufficient, or the contact point may be cooled until the fusion point is sufficiently formed, resulting in insufficient fusion of the contact portion. Further, if the speed is too slow, the melt will stay too much and the density will increase, so it is necessary to set the conveyor speed suitable for the desired apparent density. Next, in the present invention, the mesh body and a double Russell knit to be a wadding layer are laminated to form a cushion body. The double Russell knit and the mesh can also be joined and integrated. In this case, a heat-bonding layer or an adhesive may be separately used between the reticulated body and the double Russell knit to bond and integrate them, or the heat-bonding function of the reticulated body may be used to bond and integrate the double Russell knit. .
As a preferred integration method of the present invention, when the molten discharge filaments are sandwiched and held to fuse the portions that are in contact with each other, they are continuously drawn into a cooling medium to solidify and form a net-like body. A method can be selected in which the double Russell knit is simultaneously supplied to the net and melt-bonded to the surface of the net. At least 10 ° C. or lower than the melting point of the thermoplastic elastic resin forming the reticulated body in any process leading to commercialization, such as after the reticulated body is once cooled or after being laminated with a double Russell knit to form an integrally molded cushion body. The more preferable manufacturing method is to perform the pseudo-crystallization treatment by annealing at the temperature of. The pseudo-crystallization treatment temperature is at least 10 ° C. lower than the melting point (Tm), and is higher than the α dispersion rising temperature (Tαcr) of Tan δ. By this treatment, the heat resistance and sag resistance of the reticulate body is remarkably improved as compared with a material having an endothermic peak at a temperature equal to or lower than the melting point and having no pseudo-crystallization treatment (one having no endothermic peak). The preferred pseudo-crystallization treatment temperature of the network of the present invention is from (Tαcr + 10 ° C) to (Tm-2
0 ° C). The heat-settling resistance is improved even if it is pseudo-crystallized by a simple heat treatment, and further, the heat-settling resistance is remarkably improved by applying a compressive deformation of 10% or more and annealing is more preferable. . Further, when the reticulate body is once cooled and then subjected to a drying step, the pseudo crystallization treatment can be simultaneously performed by setting the drying temperature to the annealing temperature. Also, a pseudo crystallization treatment can be separately performed in the process of commercialization. Then, it is cut into a desired length or shape and used as a cushion material. In the present invention, the cushion mat is then sewn on the side cloth or the sewn side cloth is covered to obtain a bed mat.

When the bed mat of the present invention is used, depending on the purpose of use, the resin, the wire diameter, and the rule used for the net-like body are used.
It is necessary to appropriately select the diameter, apparent density, thickness, etc., and the resin, wire diameter, knitting structure, apparent density, thickness, etc. used for the double Russell knit. For example, in order to impart a soft touch, an appropriate depression and a bulge with tension, it is preferable that the mesh is a dense structure with a slightly high density and a fine fiber diameter, and the appropriate hardness and hysteresis during compression are linear. In order to improve the body shape retention and durability, the mesh is made of medium density, thick fiber diameter and slightly large rule.
It is preferable to have a structure in which a layer having a loop diameter and a layer having a low density, a fine fiber diameter, and a fine loop diameter are laminated and integrated. In addition, other than the resin manufacturing process, it is processed into a mesh or double Russell knit from the manufacturing process within a range that does not deteriorate the performance, and at any stage of commercialization, it becomes flame retardant, insect repellent antibacterial, heat resistant, water and oil repellent. It is possible to add functions such as chemicalization, coloring, and aroma, and perform processing such as adding chemicals. The cushion layer used in the bed mat of the present invention is formed into a shape suitable for the purpose of use by using a molding die or the like to the extent that the three-dimensional structure is not impaired, and only the side cloth is covered. It can also be used for chairs, furniture, etc. Of course, it is also possible to use it in combination with another material that should meet the required performance in relation to the application, for example, different mesh bodies, short fiber aggregates, hard cotton cushion materials, non-woven fabrics and the like.
