Description

BEARING STRUCTURE FOR COATING ROLL, AND APPLICATION DEVICE}

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a bearing structure of a coating roll and a coating device, and more particularly, to a bearing structure of a coating roll in a coating device for uniformly forming a wide coating surface.

Conventionally, the thing of various systems is proposed as a coating roll apparatus (for example, patent document 1). All of these coating roll apparatus apply | coat a coating liquid, guiding a comparatively small film.

By the way, with the large area of a functional film (for example, an optical compensation film, an antireflection film, etc.) used for a liquid crystal display etc., a film width becomes large and the wide coating roll apparatus is needed.

However, in the wide coating roll apparatus, the axial deflection due to the self-weight of the coating roll (hereinafter also simply referred to as "roll") increases, and the moment to the bearing portion increases, so that the shaft shake of the roll during rotation is increased. Occurs. In addition, the load on the bearing portion increases due to the increase in the roll weight due to the elongation of the roll. As a result, the rotational precision of the roll fell remarkably, and there existed a problem that the coating film thickness apply | coated to a film became nonuniform.

In contrast, Patent Document 2, for example, uses a self-aligning mechanism bearing (roller bearing) as a mechanism for rotating a roll. In order to compensate for the low rotational accuracy of the bearing with the self-aligning mechanism, the outer ring for the gas bearing is fixed inside the roll, and a support shaft for the gas bearing is provided inside the outer ring for the gas bearing. Thereby, the torque nonuniformity accompanying roll rotation is suppressed.

Moreover, in patent document 3, a roll is fixed to an angular bearing inner ring, an angular bearing outer ring is fixed to an inner peripheral surface, and an outer peripheral surface is spherical body. A bearing structure has been proposed, which is fitted with a housing that makes up the same. In this bearing structure, the rotation of the roll is made of material regardless of the gravity direction or the horizontal direction. In addition, since the clearance in the axial direction of the angular bearing is also eliminated, it is said that high rotational accuracy can be realized.

However, in the method of the said patent documents 2, 3, since both use rolling bearings, it becomes easy to become a generation source of a vibration in bearing structure, and also to transmit external vibration. For this reason, the dynamic characteristics of a bearing were low, and there existed a problem that disturbances, such as a vibration, were easy to be transmitted to a film.

Moreover, the said patent document 3 which used the spherical housing also had the following problems.

(1) Clearance of a roll and an application head fluctuates. Specifically, FIG. 6 is a top view when the roll 5 is set on the conventional bearing member 2, but as shown in FIG. 6, the bearing member 2 is formed of the film 3; It is careful also in a conveyance direction. That is, since the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring 4 which comprises the spherical housing becomes spherical in the conveyance direction of the film 3, it also tilts also in the film conveyance direction (Y direction), as shown by the arrow. . For this reason, when an external force (for example, tension in a film conveyance direction) is applied to the roll 5, the clearance of the roll 5 and the application | coating head 6 will fluctuate largely, and the uniform film thickness will be It becomes difficult to form a coated surface.

(2) Carefulness of the roll in the spherical housing increases the point contact in the structure, resulting in a decrease in dynamic characteristics of the bearing portion and vibration. When this vibration is transmitted to a roll, there exists a possibility that the application | coating performance to a film may fall.

(3) The spherical surface of the spherical housing has low machining accuracy and high cost.

In addition, in order to perform highly precise thin layer application | coating in production of a functional film, high rotational precision of 1 micrometer or less is calculated | required as a roll.

This invention is made | formed in view of such a situation, Even if a coating roll is bent or an external force other than the gravity direction is applied to a coating roll, the coating roll bearing which can implement | achieve a high rotational precision without changing the rotation axis of a coating roll is carried out. The purpose is to provide a structure.

In order to achieve the above object, the first aspect of the present invention supports only the first bearing portion rotatably supporting the rotating shaft of the coating roll, the first bearing portion, and the bending in the gravity direction of the coating roll. Iii) a second bearing portion for allowing tilting of the first bearing portion to provide a bearing structure of the coated roll.

According to the first aspect, a second bearing portion that allows tilting of the first bearing portion is provided so as to follow only the bending in the gravity direction of the coating roll. As a result, even when the coating roll is bent, the roll is axially shaken at the time of rotation, and a constant rotating shaft center is formed and rotated while being bent without increasing the load of the bearing. Moreover, even if an external force other than the gravity direction is applied to a coating roll, the rotation axis of a coating roll does not fluctuate. As a result, high rotational accuracy can be realized.

Although it does not specifically limit as a 1st bearing part, For example, a hydraulic constant pressure bearing etc. can be used preferably. Moreover, when there are few disturbances, such as the vibration which intrudes from the exterior, the high precision bead bearing system, the roller bearing system, etc. can be employ | adopted. Moreover, when the influence of the load and moment applied to a bearing is small, such as the weight of a coating roll is small, the pneumatic bearing system using pneumatic pressure, the magnetic bearing system using magnetic force, etc. can also be employ | adopted.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the second bearing portion is provided on an outer circumference of the first bearing portion, and includes a sliding bearing portion inner ring that supports the first bearing portion on an inner circumferential surface thereof, and a sliding bearing portion inner ring. It is installed on the outer periphery, characterized in that the sliding bearing having a sliding bearing portion outer ring for supporting the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring to be slidable.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the second aspect, the sliding bearing portion inner ring has a pair of outer circumferential surfaces facing up and down while forming an arc-shaped convex curved surface along the axial direction of the coating roll. The outer circumferential surface of the pair of outer circumferential surfaces opposed to the left and right as a center is formed in a partial circumferential shape, and the outer ring of the sliding bearing portion has a pair of the inner circumferential surfaces of the sliding bearing portion facing up and down along the axial direction of the coating roll. A pair of inner circumferential surfaces facing the left and right around the axial direction while forming a circular arc-shaped concave curved surface in contact with the pair of outer circumferential surfaces of the inner ring, It is characterized by having a space of a partial circumference forming a plane in contact with the outer circumferential surface.

According to the third aspect, the side surfaces of the sliding bearing portion inner ring and the sliding bearing portion outer ring constituting the second bearing portion that face the left and right are centered around the axial direction of the coating roll, so that the second bearing portion is moved in the horizontal direction. It can limit the tilting. Moreover, since the two outer peripheral surfaces opposing the upper and lower sides of the inner ring of the sliding bearing part form an arc-shaped convex curved surface, it is possible to allow tilting of the coating roll in the axial direction.

Thereby, since the point contact part can be reduced compared with the conventional bearing, ensuring the degree of freedom required for caution, it can be careful in the state which improved the dynamic characteristics of a bearing. Moreover, since the precision of curved surface processing is high compared with the conventional spherical sliding bearing, even if the inner diameter of a sliding bearing part and the outer ring of a sliding bearing part becomes large diameter, both can be precisely processed. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the precision while at the same time increasing the accuracy of the caution.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the third aspect, the radius of curvature R of the arc-shaped convex curved surface is 0.8 to 2 times the inner diameter d of the inner ring of the sliding bearing portion.

In the inner ring of the sliding bearing portion, if the radius of curvature of the arc-shaped convex curved surface is too small, the rigidity required for supporting the coating roll is structurally lowered. If the radius of curvature is too large, sufficient caution cannot be obtained, which is not all preferable. According to the fourth aspect, the radius of curvature of the arc-shaped convex curved surface is 0.8 to 2 times (about 40 to 500 mm) of the inner diameter d (about 50 to 250 mm) of the inner ring d of the sliding bearing part. Such defects can be suppressed.

5th aspect of this invention is the ratio (B / R) of the width | variety B between the plane which opposes the said left and right among the outer peripheral surfaces of the inner ring of the said sliding bearing part, and the said radius of curvature R in the 3rd or 4th aspect. ) Is 1 to 5 characterized in that.

According to the fifth aspect, even if a force other than the direction of gravity acts on the inner ring of the sliding bearing portion, the position of the inner ring of the sliding bearing portion is stabilized with respect to the outer ring of the sliding bearing portion, so that high caution is achieved without degrading the dynamic characteristics of the inner ring of the sliding bearing portion. Can be exercised. That is, when the B / R ratio is less than 1, the dynamic characteristics of the inner ring of the sliding bearing part tend to be lowered, and if it exceeds 5, the weight of the inner ring of the sliding bearing part increases, making it difficult to be careful. For this reason, about 1-5 are preferable for B / R ratio.

In the sixth aspect of the present invention, the pair of first bearing portions are hydraulic hydrostatic bearings according to any one of the first to fifth aspects.

According to the sixth aspect, as the bearing system for supporting the coating roll, the hydraulic static pressure bearing system exhibiting high vibration damping property, high rotational accuracy, high load capacity, and the like can be adopted, so that both static and dynamic characteristics can be improved. . Moreover, in the 1st bearing part which supports a long coating roll, the engagement (contact) of the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft of concern and the inner peripheral surface of a 1st bearing part can also be prevented.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the sixth aspect, there is provided a measuring means for measuring the temperature of the lubricating oil of the hydraulic hydrostatic bearing, and a temperature control means for controlling the lubricating oil to a predetermined temperature based on the result of the measuring means. It is characterized by one.

In order to support a coating roll with a large width and a large weight, high bearing rigidity is required. For this reason, the oil supply pressure in a hydraulic hydrostatic bearing becomes high, and lubricating oil becomes easy to generate heat. Since the temperature of this lubricating oil affects the bearing performance even in the variation of ± several degrees Celsius, temperature control of the lubricating oil becomes important. According to the seventh aspect, since the temperature of such lubricating oil is monitored and the lubricating oil is controlled to be at a predetermined temperature, the performance of the bearing can be kept stable.

In the eighth aspect of the present invention, the effective surface length of the coating roll is 3,000 mm or less in any one of the first to seventh aspects.

As described above, the coating roll having a large width increases the axial warpage due to its own weight. According to the 8th aspect, since the effective surface length of a coating roll is set to 3,000 mm or less, the curvature amount of a coating roll can be made into fixed or less (50 micrometers or less).

In order to achieve the above object, the ninth aspect of the present invention is provided on both ends of the rotating shaft of the coating roll, and at least one of the pair of bearing members for rotatably supporting the rotating shaft is any one of the first to eighth aspects. It provides the bearing structure of the coating roll which has a bearing structure as described in one.

In a ninth aspect of the present invention, in the ninth aspect, both of the pair of bearing members have a bearing structure according to any one of the first to eighth aspects, and one of the pair of bearing members has one first bearing portion. It is characterized by being supported by a thrust bearing.

Simply supporting the coating roll with a journal static pressure bearing frees the movement of the axis of rotation in the thrust direction. For this reason, as a bearing mechanism for restricting the movement of the coating roll in the thrust direction, there is a method of supporting the thrust direction at both ends of the coating roll. However, in the case where thermal expansion in the axial direction of the coating roll due to heat generation of lubricating oil occurs, there is no margin in the axial direction, so there is a fear that it is deformed under a compressive load. According to the tenth aspect, since the thrust bearing is provided only on one side of the coating roll, the above defects can be suppressed.

In order to achieve the above object, the eleventh aspect of the present invention forms a coating liquid crosslink in the clearance between the coating head and a band-shaped film wound around the coating roll and traveling in the horizontal direction, and is discharged from the coating head. In the extrusion type coating apparatus which apply | coats a coating liquid to the said film, At least one of a pair of bearing members which rotatably support the rotating shaft of the said coating roll is any one of a 1st-8th aspect. It has a bearing structure as described in the below, The application apparatus characterized by the above-mentioned is provided.

According to the eleventh aspect, in such a coating apparatus, the rotation axis of the coating roll does not fluctuate in the film conveyance direction. For this reason, a uniform clearance can be formed between the coating roll in which a film is wound, and an application head, and a coating liquid can be apply | coated uniformly. Moreover, a backup roll is also included as a coating roll.

According to the present invention, even if the coating roll is bent or an external force other than the gravity direction is applied to the coating roll, the rotation axis of the coating roll does not change and high rotational accuracy can be realized.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, according to an accompanying drawing, preferable embodiment of the bearing structure of the coating roll which concerns on this invention, and an application | coating apparatus is demonstrated in detail.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS It is a perspective view explaining the outline | summary of the coating device provided with the bearing structure of the coating roll which concerns on this invention. Among these, part (A) is a figure which shows the principal part of a coating apparatus, and part (B) is a figure which shows the structural member of a bearing member.

As shown in FIG. 1, the coating device 10 is a device which apply | coats a coating liquid with respect to the film which runs continuously, As a main, the backup roll 14 by which the film 12 is wound (hereinafter, simply " Roll 14 ”and an extrusion type application head 16 arranged to provide a predetermined clearance with respect to the roll 14. Hereinafter, the axial direction of the roll 14 is X direction and the axial direction of the said roll 14 is centered in the left-right direction (direction perpendicular | vertically orthogonal to an axial direction, or film conveyance direction) to a Y direction, an up-down direction ( Gravity direction) is set to Z direction, and all shall include a positive side and a negative side.

The pocket 18 is formed in the width direction of the film 12 inside the extrusion coating head 16. The pocket 18 communicates with the slit opening 20a of the tip (lip) of the application head 16 via the slit 20. The slit opening 20a is formed long and thin in the width direction of the film 12, and the width dimension is formed so that it may become substantially the same as the width dimension of the film 12. As shown in FIG. And the coating liquid supplied to the pocket 18 via the supply path 17 by the coating liquid supply source (not shown) is discharged from the slit opening 20a through the slit 20. FIG. And coating liquid bridge | crosslinking (bead) is formed in the clearance between the front-end | tip of the coating head 16 and the film 12 which runs continuously, and a coating liquid is transferred to the film 12. As shown in FIG. In addition, the application head 16 is supported by a supporting member (not shown).

The roll 14 is formed so that the width | variety is large so that the film 12 may be wound, and the rotating shaft 22 of the both ends is rotatably supported by the bearing member 24 which has the bearing structure which concerns on this invention.

The roll 14 used in the present invention, for example, has a weight of about 400 kg and is relatively heavy, so that the roll 14 is easily bent in the direction of gravity due to its own weight. If this warpage occurs, the clearance distribution of the application head 16 and the roll 14 becomes nonuniform. For this reason, in order to maintain the clearance distribution of the application | coating head 16 and the roll 14 uniformly, it is necessary to perform the adjustment which adjusts the shape of the front-end | tip of the application | coating head 16 to the shape of the curved roll 14. The amount of error which appears at the time of this adjustment is influenced by the amount of warpage which the roll 14 has. Specifically, about 10% of the amount of warpage of the roll 14 appears as an adjustment error of clearance.

Since 5 µm or less is required as the distribution accuracy of the clearance between the coating head 16 and the roll 14, it is preferable to set the warp amount of the roll 14 to 50 µm or less, and the effective surface length of the roll 14 ( As L), it is preferable to set it as 3,000 mm or less.

However, even if the adjustment is made, the film 12 is wound around the roll 14 and is conveyed in the horizontal direction, so that the tension of the film 12 applied to the roll 14 is transmitted to the roll 14. The clearance of the application head 16 and the roll 14 fluctuates by external vibration of a conveyance direction. Thereby, the film thickness of an application layer and the film thickness distribution of a film width direction become nonuniform. For this reason, it is necessary to stably support (careful) the roll 14 so as not to generate shaft shake (change of the rotary shaft center) while following the bending of the shaft of the roll 14.

Then, in this invention, the bearing member 24 is comprised so that caution of the film conveyance direction (Y direction) may be removed and caution of only the axial direction (X direction) of the roll 14 is carried out. Hereinafter, the bearing member 24 which is a characteristic part of this invention is demonstrated.

In the bearing member 24, the hydraulic constant pressure bearing 26 (first bearing part) which supports the rotating shaft 22 rotatably is arrange | positioned at the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 22 of the roll 14, Moreover, on the outer periphery, the sliding bearing 27 (2nd bearing part) which supports the hydraulic static pressure bearing 26 and takes care of the roll 14 is arrange | positioned.

The sliding bearing 27 is comprised from the sliding bearing part inner ring 28 and the sliding bearing part outer ring 30.

As shown in part (B) of FIG. 1, the sliding bearing part inner ring 28 has two outer circumferential surfaces 28a and 28b facing the Z direction (up and down direction) of the sliding bearing part inner ring 28 in the X direction. Are formed in a circularly convex curved surface, and the two outer peripheral surfaces 28c and 28d facing the Y direction (left and right around the axial direction) are formed in a partial cylindrical shape forming a plane.

A sliding bearing outer ring 30 for supporting the sliding bearing inner ring 28 is disposed on the outer circumference of the sliding bearing inner ring 28, and is formed to accommodate the sliding bearing inner ring 28. That is, the two inner circumferential surfaces 30a and 30b facing the Z-direction (up-down direction) of the outer ring 30 form an arc-shaped concave curved surface in the X-direction, and the Y-direction (left and right around the axial direction). Two inner circumferential surfaces 30c and 30d facing each other form a plane (see Fig. 4 below). As a result, the sliding bearing inner ring 28 is tilted only in the X direction and not tilted in the Y direction. Therefore, the hydraulic hydrostatic bearing 26 supporting the rotating shaft 22 can be allowed to tilt only in the X direction, and can not be tilted in the Y direction.

The outer circumferential surfaces 28a and 28b of the sliding bearing inner ring 28 have a rigidity required for supporting the roll 14 when the radius of curvature R is too small, and the stiffness is lowered when the radius of curvature R is too large. do. For this reason, the radius of curvature R of the outer circumferential surfaces 28a and 28b of the sliding bearing inner ring 28 is 0.8 to 2 times the inner diameter d of the sliding bearing inner ring 28 (about 50 mm to 250 mm). It is preferable to set it as (about 40 mm-500 mm).

Among the outer circumferential surfaces of the inner ring 28 of the sliding bearing portion, the ratio of the width B and the radius of curvature R between two outer circumferential surfaces 28c and 28d facing the Y-direction (left and right about the axial direction) (hereinafter, If this is referred to as "B / R ratio" less than 1, the dynamic characteristics of the inner ring 28 of the sliding bearing portion tends to be lowered, and if it exceeds 5, the weight of the inner ring 28 of the sliding bearing portion increases, so that it can be smoothly watched. There will be no. For this reason, it is preferable to make B / R ratio into 1-5.

2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view illustrating the internal configuration of a bearing member 24 having a bearing structure according to the present invention. 2 shows the bearing member 24 of the side in which the thrust bearing is installed.

As shown in FIG. 2, the outer circumferential member 32 of the hydraulic constant pressure bearing 26 that rotatably supports the rotating shaft 22 is fixed to the inner circumferential surface of the inner ring 28 of the sliding bearing part, and the inner ring of the sliding bearing part ( It is made to move in unison with 28). Moreover, the oil supply groove 34 for supplying lubricating oil is provided in the circumferential direction in the inner peripheral surface of the inner ring 28 of the sliding bearing part.

Between the inner wall surface of the hydraulic hydrostatic bearing 26 and the rotating shaft 22, the positive pressure pocket 36 and the atmospheric pressure releasing groove 38 are formed along the circumferential direction and the axial direction, and these positive pressure pocket 36 and the atmospheric pressure releasing groove 38 communicates with the bearing metal member 40 in which the micro channel | path with which the lubricating oil can pass between the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 22 was formed. The atmospheric pressure release groove 38 is sealed by the sealing member 42. In addition, an oil supply hole 44 is formed on the surface of the outer circumferential member 32 facing the oil supply groove 34, and the oil supply hole 44 and the positive pressure pocket 36 are formed in a fine flow path hole 46. Communicating through. The positive pressure pockets 38 and 38 communicate with the drainage hole 48 formed along the axial direction in the lower portion of the gravity direction, and the drainage hole 48 communicates with the drainage port 50.

Thereby, the lubricating oil passes from the oil supply groove 34 formed in the circumferential direction, the oil supply port 44 and the oil supply hole 46, the positive pressure pocket 36, the bearing metal member 40 (a micro flow path in the circumferential direction), And an atmospheric pressure releasing groove 38. The lubricant oil circulated through the positive pressure pocket 36 and the atmospheric pressure releasing groove 38 is collected in the oil drain hole 48 and then discharged to the outside through the oil drain port 50.

The lubricating oil supply source 52 for storing and supplying lubricating oil communicates with each of the oil supply grooves 34 and the drain port 50 by the pipe lines 54a and 54b, and a circulating path 54 of the lubricating oil is formed. have. In the middle of the lubricating oil circulation path 54, a thermometer 56 for measuring the temperature of the lubricating oil and a lubricating oil temperature control mechanism 58 are provided. The thermometer 56 is in a situation where the temperature of the lubricating oil can always be monitored. In addition, the lubricating oil temperature control mechanism 58 controls the temperature of the lubricating oil to be a predetermined temperature by using a temperature controller such as air cooling, water cooling, and a refrigerant system. Thereby, based on the temperature measurement result of the lubricating oil in the thermometer 56, the lubricating oil temperature control mechanism 58 controls so that the temperature of the lubricating oil may become predetermined temperature.

Inside the hydraulic hydrostatic bearing 26, the thrust bearing 60 is provided in a flange shape next to the atmospheric pressure release groove 38 on the side opposite to the roll 14. The thrust bearing 60 is rotatable together with the roll 14 in a state of being fixed to the roll 14, and between the outer circumferential member 32 and the fixing member 62 fixed by the screw 64. In the circumferential side surface portion, a fine flow path is formed so that oil can be lubricated. And the lubricating oil which flowed out from the atmospheric pressure release groove 38 passes through the said fine flow path, and is lubricated, and the movement in the axial direction of the roll 14 is restrict | limited. A rubbing seal 66 is provided on the roll 14 side of the hydraulic hydrostatic bearing 26 as necessary.

In addition, it is preferable that said thrust bearing 60 is provided only in any one of a pair of bearing member 24. As shown in FIG. That is, when lubricating oil heats, thermal expansion in the axial direction of the roll 14 occurs, but as the roll lengthens, the amount of expansion increases. When the thrust direction is supported at both ends of the roll 14, there is a possibility that the thrust direction is deformed due to the compression load. Therefore, the above defect is suppressed by providing the thrust bearing 60 only in one of the pair of bearing members 24 which support the roll 14.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 3, 4A and 4B. 3: is explanatory drawing explaining the form which a roll bends in the gravity direction, and FIG. 4A and 4B are explanatory drawing explaining the operation | movement in the bearing member 24. As shown in FIG. 4: A is a figure which looked at the operation | movement in the coating device 10 from the front, and is sectional drawing in the gravity direction of the bearing member 24. As shown in FIG. 4B is the figure which looked at the operation | movement in the coating device 10 from the top, and is sectional drawing in the horizontal direction of the bearing member 24. As shown in FIG.

First, the lubricating oil source 52 is operated to supply lubricating oil from the oil supply groove 34 to the positive pressure pocket 36 and the atmospheric pressure releasing groove 38 in the hydraulic constant pressure bearing 26, and at the same time, the oil drain hole 48 Discharged through the mouthpiece 50 and circulated to the lubricant supply source 52. Oil temperature and oil pressure at this time are set to an appropriate value according to design conditions, such as a roll weight, a rotation speed, and a required rigidity value. Then, the roll 14 is rotated.

While rotating the roll 14, as shown in FIG. 3, the roll 14 bends in the gravity direction by self weight, and the rotating shaft center 14A (dotted line) is shaken from horizontal.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 4A, in the bearing member 24, the sliding bearing inner ring 28 is tilted in the X direction following the bending of the roll 14 (see arrow). Therefore, even if the coating roll is bent, the roll is not shaken at the time of rotation or the bearing load is increased, thereby forming and rotating a constant axis of rotation in the state of being bent.

In addition, when the form at this time is seen from above, as shown to FIG. 4B, in the bearing member 24, the outer peripheral surface 28c of the sliding bearing part inner ring 28 and the inner peripheral surface 30c of the outer ring 30 in a Y direction. Since the outer circumferential surface 28d of the sliding bearing inner ring 28 and the inner circumferential surface 30d of the sliding bearing outer ring 30 are in contact with each other in plane, the sliding bearing inner ring 28 does not tilt in the Y direction, It is fixed stably.

That is, even if a warpage arises in the roll 14, the sliding bearing inner ring 28 is tilted only in the X direction so as to follow the warp, but not in the Y direction. For this reason, the rotation shaft center 14A (dotted line) of the roll 14 does not fluctuate, and the roll 14 can be rotatably supported with high rotational precision. In addition, the clearance distribution of the application | coating head 16 and the roll 14 can be made uniform.

Thus, according to this embodiment, axial shake of a roll to a conveyance direction of a film can be suppressed, and high rotational precision can be implement | achieved. In addition, compared with the conventional spherical sliding bearing, the partial cylindrical sliding bearing of the present invention has a high degree of precision in surface processing, so that even if the inner ring of the sliding bearing part and the outer ring of the sliding bearing part have a large diameter, both of them can be subjected to custom machining. It can be performed with high precision. Therefore, it is possible to improve the caution and reduce the cost.

Moreover, as the film 12 used for this invention, various well-known films can be used. Generally, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene-2,6-naphthalate, cellulose diacetate, cellulose triacetate, cellulose acetate propionate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polycarbonate, polyimide, polyamide, etc. Various laminated paper which coated or laminated the C-C10 alpha-olefins, such as polyethylene, a polypropylene, and an ethylene butene copolymer, on various well-known plastic films, paper, and paper, metal foil, such as aluminum, copper, tin, etc., Various composite materials in which a preliminary processed layer is formed on the surface of the band-shaped base material or laminated these are included.

As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment of the bearing structure of the roll which concerns on this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, Various forms can be employ | adopted.

For example, in each of the above embodiments, as the first bearing portion supporting the rotating shaft 22, a hydraulic hydrostatic bearing 26 that is reliable in high vibration damping property, high rotational accuracy, high load capacity, etc. is employed. It is not limited to this, Various bearings can be used. Moreover, when there are few disturbances, such as the vibration which intrudes from the exterior, the high precision bead bearing system, the roller bearing system, etc. can be employ | adopted. In addition, when the load capacity required such as the weight of the roll is small and the influence of the moment is small, a pneumatic bearing system using pneumatic pressure, a magnetic bearing system using magnetic force, or the like can also be adopted.

In each said embodiment, although the bearing member 24 which has the bearing structure which concerns on this invention was arrange | positioned at the both ends of the roll 14, it is not limited to this, You may arrange | position only to one side. Also in this case, the same effects as described above can be obtained.

Moreover, in this embodiment, although the coating apparatus which employ | adopted the extrusion type | mold application head demonstrated the bearing structure which supports the backup roll by which a film is wound, it is not limited to this, For example, the coating liquid wiped off by the roll It can also be used as an application bar in a bar application device to be transferred to a film.

Example

Hereinafter, although the Example which concerns on this invention is described, this invention is not limited to these Examples.

The curvature amount at the time of changing the effective surface length of the roll 14 was measured.

In the roll 14 whose material is SCM and whose outer diameter is 120 mm, the effective surface length of the width direction of the roll 14 was changed in the range of 1,000 mm-4,000 mm. The curvature amount of the roll 14 was measured about the total of three points of the roll effective surface both ends and a center part with a laser displacement meter. This result is shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the effective surface length of the roll 14 exceeds 3,000 mm, the amount of warpage increases proportionally, while when the effective surface length of the roll 14 is less than 3,000 mm, the amount of warpage is 50 μm. It turned out that it becomes comparatively small below.

In addition, from the viewpoint of caution, the preferred size and shape of the inner ring 28 of the sliding bearing portion were examined.

When the radius of curvature R of the outer circumferential surfaces 28a and 28b of the inner ring 28 is 100 mm, the width B between the two opposing outer circumferential surfaces 28c and 28d of the inner ring 28 is changed to B. The effect on the watchdog by the / R ratio was evaluated. Carefulness of the bearing was performed by visual observation and evaluated according to the following criteria.

◎…. Very careful, ○… Caution is high,? A little low level of care, but practically no problem, ×… Low caution

The results are shown in Table 1.

Bending Radius (R) (mm) Width (B) (mm) B / R ratio Caution Test 1 100 100 One △ Test 2 200 2 ◎ Test 3 300 3 ◎ Test 4 400 4 ○ Test 5 500 5 △

From the above, by setting the ratio (B / R ratio) of the width B between the planes in the Y direction of the sliding bearing portion inner ring 28 and the radius of curvature R in the Z direction to 1 to 5, high caution is stable. I knew I could keep it.
