Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing an absorbent article and an absorbent article produced by the method for producing an absorbent article, the absorbent article comprising at least a plurality of sheets A composite sheet obtained by laminating the materials and an absorber attached to the composite sheet. [Prior Art] An absorbent article such as a disposable diaper has a surface sheet which contacts the wearer's skin, a back sheet which is farthest from the wearer, and an absorbent body which is provided between the surface sheet and the back sheet. These surface sheets or back sheets' may be composed of a plurality of sheets of different materials. For example, the back sheet ' is a non-liquid permeable sheet-like underlayer film which is impermeable to liquid and a sheet-like underlayer non-woven fabric provided on the outer side of the underlayer film. A method of manufacturing a composite sheet by superposing two sheets of different materials in this manner has been disclosed (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). According to the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, the sheet-like material of different materials is a non-liquid permeable sheet-like material which is extended by a gear stretching method in an overlapped state, and is capable of being stretched by performing a stretching process on the composite sheet. Turn soft. Further, by performing the stretching process on the composite sheet, the size in the width direction can be widened, so that the amount of materials to be input into the manufacturing line can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

Since the so-called ductile enthalpy of each of the sheet-like materials constituting the composite sheet is different, the limit of the amount of elongation at the time of stretching processing differs. When the production speed is increased, the load applied to the sheet-like material conveyed along the manufacturing line becomes large, and the sheet-like material that is stretched to have an elongation close to the limit 容易 is likely to be damaged. This causes a decrease in the manufacturing yield. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress the elongation of the sheet-like material. As described above, the conventional method for producing a composite sheet cannot achieve both the increase in production speed and the reduction in production cost. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing an absorbent article and a method for producing the absorbent article. Absorbent articles, even if the production speed is increased, do not reduce the quality of the product and reduce the manufacturing cost. In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following features. First, a first aspect of the present invention provides a method for producing an absorbent article comprising at least a first sheet-like material (underlayer sheet 120A) having a predetermined ductility and a ductility smaller than that of the first sheet-like material. a composite sheet (back sheet 2) to which the second sheet-like material (non-woven sheet 12 0B) is bonded, and an absorber (absorbent body 30) attached to the composite sheet; the gist thereof includes: by the periphery A roller mechanism (embossing roller) in which a plurality of convex portions are formed and a pair of the other convex portions (protrusions 542) are fitted between one convex portion (protrusion portion 5 3 2 ) via the above-mentioned composite -6 - 201117780 laminated sheet The mechanism 520), in which the first sheet-shaped material is conveyed in a predetermined conveyance direction (machine direction MD), the step A of extending the first sheet-shaped material (sheet extension step S2): the extended portion A step B in which the sheet-like material is attached to the second sheet-like material to form the composite sheet (sheet bonding step S40). According to the features of the present invention, it is possible to provide an absorbent article manufactured by the method for producing an absorbent article and the method for producing the absorbent article, which can not reduce the quality of the product and can reduce the manufacturing cost even if the production speed is increased.

Thereby, the underlying sheet 120A is extended in the width direction W of the underlying sheet 120A (i.e., the crossing direction CD orthogonal to the machine direction MD) to form the extending portion 21 and the unextended portion 22 in the underlying sheet 120A. Further, the amount of extension of the central extension portion 2 1 A is preferably larger than the amount of extension of the end extension portion 2 1 B. In the sheet widening step S30, the stretched underlying sheet 120A is widened (expanded) outward in the width direction W of the underlying sheet 120A by the widening roller mechanism 600 which will be described later. In the sheet bonding step S40, the expanded underlayer sheet 120A and the nonwoven sheet 120B (continuous underlayer nonwoven fabric 20B) are bonded together to form a composite sheet 120. At this time, the underlying sheet 120 A is bonded to the nonwoven fabric sheet 120B in a flat state in which the extending portion 21 is widened in the width direction W. 201117780 In the absorber joining step S50, the absorbent body 30 to which the surface sheet 10 is bonded is joined (mounted) on the formed composite sheet 120. In the strip arrangement step S60, the strip 51 is placed on the composite sheet 120 in the width direction W of the absorber 30 in a state in which the strip 51 is extended in the machine direction MD of the composite sheet 120. on. In the side panel forming step S70, the non-woven fabric sheet 120B extending outward in the width direction W from the underlying sheet 120A is folded back toward the inner side in the width direction W, and the strip-shaped body 51 is wrapped by the nonwoven fabric sheet 120B to form the side flap portion 50. In the waist flap arrangement step S80, the front side flap portion 40A formed in advance and the side flap portion 40B on which the locking portion 41 is attached are joined to the composite sheet 120. In the product cutting step S90, the composite sheet 120 provided with the absorbent body 30, the side panel portion 50, and the waist flap portion 40 is cut into a single product in the width direction W to produce the absorbent article 1. Next, the structure of the extension device 500 used in the sheet heating step S10 and the sheet extending step S20 will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 8(a) is an enlarged perspective view showing a part of the extension device 500 of the present embodiment. Fig. 8(b) is an axial sectional view of the embossing roll mechanism 520 of the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 8(a), the extension device 500 extends the bottom sheet 1 20A side along the machine direction MD while extending in the intersecting direction CD. The extension device 500 is provided with a heating roller 510 and an embossing roller mechanism 520. The heating roller 510 is disposed on the upstream side of the embossing roller mechanism 520 closer to the machine direction MD. The heating roller 510 is heated while rotating in the machine direction MD -13 - 201117780 while heating the underlying film 120A before the underlying sheet 120A passes through the embossing roll mechanism 520. The heating roller 510 is set to a predetermined temperature (for example, 1 Torr). The embossing roller mechanism 520 heats the underlying sheet 120A passing through the heating roller 510 and presses the underlying sheet 120A toward the thickness direction T of the underlying sheet 120A. The embossing roller mechanism 520 is set to a predetermined temperature (for example, 60 degrees).

The shape of the convex portion 5 3 2 and the convex portion 542 formed by one of the pair of roller portions 542 is tapered from the outer circumference of the roller mechanism toward the outer side in the cross section of the roller mechanism in the axial direction. In the present embodiment, the shape of the convex portion 532 and the convex portion 542 is substantially triangular in cross section in the axial direction of the roller mechanism. The convex portion 53 2 and the convex portion 542 are made of ferrite-based iron-based stainless steel (SUS430 2B). For example, the thickness t1 of the convex portion 532 and the thickness t2 of the convex portion 542 are respectively 0.7 to 1.0 mm. Further, it is preferable to perform honing processing on the outer surfaces of the convex portion 5 3 2 and the convex portion 542. In such an extension device 500, for example, the temperature of the heating roller 5 10 is 100 degrees. The temperature of the embossing roll mechanism 520 is 60 degrees. The length (L) in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the roller mechanism when the convex portion 53 2 and the convex portion 542 are fitted is 1.6 mm. The interval (pi) of the plurality of convex portions 532 and the interval (p2) of the plurality of convex portions 542 are 2.5 mm. According to this condition, the stretching device 500 can perform the expansion processing of δ -14 - 201117780 1.3 times with respect to the underlying sheet 120A with respect to the underlying sheet 120A before the extension processing. Further, in the stretching device 500, the magnification (stretching magnification) of the underlying sheet 120A extending in the width direction W can be changed by appropriately changing the above respective conditions. Further, the heights of the convex portions 532 or the convex portions 542 may be different depending on the central portion C1 and the side portion C2 of the underlying sheet 120A. Thereby, the stretching ratio of the central region C 1 and the stretching ratio of the side region C 2 can be changed. Next, the structure of the widening roller mechanism 600 used in the above-described sheet widening step S30 will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 9 is a perspective view showing the widening roller mechanism 600 of the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 9, the widening roller mechanism 600 is formed by widening the outer layer sheet 120A extended by the embossing roll mechanism 520 toward the outer side of the cross direction CD of the underlying sheet 120A. As a result, the minute projections (the thick portion 21L and the dense portion 21T) provided in the extending portion 21 are flattened, and the extending portion 21 is widened. The widening roller mechanism 600 includes a first expansion roller mechanism 610 and a second expansion roller mechanism 620 °. The first expansion roller mechanism 610 ' holds one side portion 1 2 0 E of the bottom sheet 120A. The first expansion roll mechanism 6 1 0 includes a first upper pressing roller 6 1 1 and a first lower pressing roller 6 1 2 . The first upper pressing roller 6 1 1 is disposed on one surface side (upper side) of the underlying sheet 1 2 〇 A. The first upper pressing roller 6 1 1 rotates in the feeding direction in which the underlying sheet 1 20A is fed, centering on the axis core while being in contact with the upper surface of the underlying sheet 1 2 〇 A. The first lower pressing roller 6 1 2 ' is disposed on the opposite side (lower side) of the first upper pressing roller 61 1 through the underlying sheet 1 2 0 A. The underlying sheet 120A is held between the first lower pressing roller -15-201117780 612 and the first upper pressing roller 611. When the first lower pressing roller 612' is in contact with the lower surface of the underlying sheet 120A, the first lower pressing roller 6 1 1 and the first lower pressing are rotated in the feeding direction in which the lower sheet 120A is fed around the core. The roller 6 1 2, the center line CL side of the underlying sheet 120A is located on the front side in the machine direction MD. That is, the first upper pressing roller 61 1 and the first lower pressing roller 6 1 2 are inclined with respect to the intersecting direction CD in the bottom sheet 1 20A. Thereby, the first upper pressing roller 611 and the first lower pressing roller 612 can widen the base sheet 120A into a flat shape. The second expansion roll mechanism 620 holds the other side portion 120E2 of the bottom sheet 120A. The second expansion roll mechanism 620 includes a second upper pressing roller 621 and a second lower pressing roller 622 . Further, the structure of the second expansion roller mechanism 620 is the same as that of the first expansion roller mechanism 610. Therefore, the description of the second expansion roller mechanism 620 is omitted. In the above-described widening roller mechanism 600, the inclination angle of the first upper pressing roller 611 and the first lower pressing roller 612 with respect to the intersecting direction CD is appropriately changed. The inclination angle of the upper pressing roller 621 and the second lower pressing roller 622 with respect to the intersecting direction CD can change the degree of widening of the underlying sheet 120A. In the present embodiment described above, after the underlying sheet 1 2 0 A is stretched, the stretched underlayer sheet 120A is attached to the nonwoven sheet 120B. That is, the underlying sheet 120A and the non-woven sheet 120B having different ductility are not subjected to the stretching process, and only the underlying sheet 120A is subjected to the stretching process. Thereby, since the non-woven fabric sheet 120B having a ductility smaller than that of the underlying sheet 120A is not stretched, the nonwoven fabric sheet 120B is less likely to be subjected to an increase in production speed.

Therefore, manufacturing defects of the nonwoven fabric sheet 12 OB can be reduced, and reduction in manufacturing yield can be suppressed. Therefore, the speed of production can be increased, and the back sheet 20 (the underlayer sheet 20A) can be made soft, and the deterioration of the quality of the product can be suppressed. Further, in the prior art, in the case where the underlying sheet 126A and the non-woven sheet 120B are subjected to the stretching process, it is necessary to carry out the stretching process in accordance with the ductility of the nonwoven fabric sheet 120B. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since only the underlying sheet 120A having a longer ductility than the nonwoven sheet 120B is subjected to the stretching process, the amount of stretching of the underlying sheet 120A can be increased. Therefore, the amount of the material of the underlying sheet 120 A to be placed in the manufacturing line can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In the present embodiment, the amount of extension of the central extension portion 2 1 A is preferably more than the amount of extension of the end portion extending portion 21B. Big. Further, the underlying sheet 120 A is conveyed in a state of being stretched toward the machine direction MD. Therefore, the tension in the machine direction MD acts on the underlying sheet 120A, and the edge portion of the underlying sheet 120A is easily retracted toward the inner side in the width direction (the so-called necking phenomenon is likely to occur). Therefore, it is not easy to perform uniform stretching processing on the end extension portion 21B of the underlying sheet 120A. Therefore, the amount of extension of the central extension portion 2 1 A is actively increased, and the degree of extension of the entire underlying sheet 120A in the width direction W can be made constant. In the present embodiment, the length in the width direction W of the underlying film 20A after stretching is shorter than the length W in the width direction W of the underlying nonwoven fabric 20B, and is longer than the length in the width direction W of the absorber 30. That is, a portion where the underlying film 20A and the underlying non-woven fabric 20B do not overlap is provided. In this manner, the body fluid of the wearer absorbed by the absorbent body 30 -17- 201117780 does not easily leak toward the bottom nonwoven fabric 2 OB (that is, the outer side of the absorbent article 1), and the air permeability of the side region C2 can be improved. The underlayer film 20A (the extended underlying sheet 120A) is disposed in the underarm region S3. As described above, in the case where the underlying film 20A is not provided in the front sill area S1 or the sill surrounding area S2, the amount of the underlying sheet 120 A can be reduced, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the area around the front sill or the back sill can be raised. Ventilation of zone S2. In the present embodiment, the sheet widening step S30 is performed between the sheet extending step S20 and the sheet bonding step S40. That is, the underlying sheet 120A is pressed by the embossing roll mechanism .520 to form the extending portion 21 which is provided with minute irregularities (the thick portion 21L and the dense portion 2 1 T ). Next, the underlying sheet 120A is widened by the widening roller mechanism 600 so that the minute irregularities once formed are flattened (flat). Then, the underlying sheet 120A is joined to the non-woven sheet 120B in a state in which the minute irregularities formed are flat. However, since the underlying sheet 120 A is conveyed in a state of being stretched toward the machine direction MD, a phenomenon in which the width of the underlying sheet 1 20A is narrowed (so-called necking phenomenon) may occur. However, in the present embodiment, as described above, the nonwoven fabric sheet 120B is joined to the underlying sheet 120A which is expanded into a flat shape. That is, the nonwoven fabric sheet 20B is joined to the underlying sheet 1 20A before the width of the flat sheet 120A which becomes flat is narrowed. Therefore, the minute irregularities can be maintained flat. Therefore, the amount of the material of the underlying sheet 120A which is put into the manufacturing line can be reduced, and even if the back sheet 20 contacts the wearer, the wearer can be surely prevented from being uncomfortable. -18- 201117780 In addition, the convex portion 5 3 2 and the convex portion 5 4 2 are made of ferrite-based iron-based stainless steel (SUS430 2B). For example, the thickness t1 of the convex portion 532 and the thickness t2 of the convex portion 542 are respectively 0.7 to 1 mm. Thus, the durability of the convex portion 5 3 2 and the convex portion 542 can be considered to increase the speed of production, and the back sheet 20 (the underlying sheet 120A) can be made soft. Preferably, the outer surface of the convex portion 523 and the convex portion 542 is subjected to honing processing. Thus, the friction between the convex portion 523 and the convex portion 542 and the underlying sheet 120A can be reduced as compared with the case where the honing processing is not performed on the outer surfaces of the convex portion 523 and the convex portion 542. Therefore, the occurrence of perforations (pinholes) on the underlying sheet 1 20A can be suppressed. (Modification) The embossing roller mechanism 520 of the above embodiment may be modified as described below. The same components as those of the embossing roller mechanism 520 of the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and mainly the different portions will be described. Fig. 10 is an axial sectional view showing an embossing roller mechanism 520A of a modified example. In the above embodiment, the shape of the convex portion 532 and the convex portion 542 is substantially triangular in cross section in the axial direction of the roller mechanism. On the other hand, in the modified example, as shown in the first diagram (a), the shape of the convex portion 523 and the convex portion 542 is substantially rectangular in cross section in the axial direction of the roller mechanism. The convex portion 532 and the convex portion 542 are rounded (for example, rounded 〇_2 mm). Further, it is needless to say that the convex portion 532 and the convex portion 542' do not have to be rounded. Here, the shape of the convex portion 523 and the convex portion 524 may be substantially trapezoidal in cross section in the axial direction of the roller mechanism as shown in the first 〇 (b) diagram. In this case, it is preferable that each of the side faces forming the convex portion 523 and the convex portion 542 is at a predetermined angle α (for example, 30 to 90 degrees) with respect to a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the roller mechanism. The tilted states are opposite each other. (Other Embodiments) The above description of the present invention is made by the embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood that the description and drawings which form a part of this disclosure are not intended to limit the invention. Various alternative embodiments, examples, and operational techniques will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the embodiment of the present invention can be modified as follows. Specifically, the structure ' of the absorbent article 1 is not limited to that described in the embodiment, and can of course be set according to the purpose. For example, the absorbent article 1 is an unfolded type disposable diaper, but is not limited thereto, and may be a pants type diaper, sanitary napkin, pad or the like. Further, the surface sheet 1〇, the back sheet 20, the absorber 30, the waist flap portion 40, and the side panel portion 50 are not limited to the structures described in the embodiment, and may have different structures, and may be appropriately configured according to the purpose. Changes. For example, the locking portion 41 provided on the rear side flap portion 40A is formed by an adhesive tape. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be formed using an adhesive tape or the like. In addition, the strip-shaped body 51 is not limited to this, and may be a stretchable sheet, for example, as long as it is a stretchable member. Further, although the extension device 500 is described as an example for forming the extension portion 21 in the underlying film 20, other structures may be employed as long as the extension portion 21 can be formed on the back sheet 20. For example, the extension device 500 does not have to be -20-201117780. It is also possible to provide the heating roller 510 and the embossing roller mechanism 520' only by the embossing roller mechanism 520. Further, the widening roller mechanism 600 is described as an example in which the first widening roller mechanism 610 and the second widening roller mechanism 620 are provided. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and any one of them may be provided on the underlying sheet 120A. One side portion 120* or the other side portion 120E2 side may also widen the bottom sheet 12A. In addition, although the sheet heating step S10 to the product cutting step S90 are described, the method of manufacturing the absorbent article is not limited thereto, and at least the sheet extending step S20, the sheet bonding step S40, and the absorber joining step S5 are provided. 0 may be appropriately set according to the purpose. Further, although the method for producing an absorbent article describes an example in which the base film 20A is subjected to the stretching process, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the substrate film 20A is different. The underlayer film 20A may be additionally stretched to the underlayer non-woven fabric 20B. In this case, it is preferable to change the degree of elongation by blending the ductility of the underlying nonwoven fabric 20B which is different from the ductility of the underlying film 20A. Further, in the method for producing an absorbent article, an example in which the base film 20A is subjected to the stretching process is described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the other sheets may be subjected to the stretching process. For example, in the case where the surface sheet 10 is composed of two sheets, the sheet having a large ductility can be subjected to stretching processing. As such, the present invention naturally includes various embodiments and the like which are not described herein. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention is defined by the invention defining the scope of the appropriate patent application according to the above description.
