Description

吸收體之製造裝置及吸收體之製造方法Apparatus for manufacturing absorber and method for manufacturing absorber

本發明係關於一種吸收體之製造裝置及吸收體之製造方法。The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing an absorbent body and a method for manufacturing the same.

作為用於拋棄式尿布、經期衛生棉、失禁護墊等吸收性物品之吸收體,就穿著感之提昇或防漏性之觀點而言,有使用具有高度相對較高之厚壁部及高度相對較低之薄壁部之吸收體之情形,尤其是,有使用具有中央部厚度增加之中高部分(厚壁部)之吸收體之情形。作為此種具有中高部分之吸收體之製造方法,例如,專利文獻1~3中記載有使用具備於外周面上在集聚用凹部內具有更深之中高部用凹部之轉筒之纖維堆積裝置之方法。 於專利文獻1中記載有如下纖維堆積裝置,即,使用導管將纖維材料呈飛散狀態供給至轉筒之外周面,並利用配置於下游側之刮擦輥刮取自轉筒之集聚用凹部溢出之過剩部分,將所刮取之纖維材料經由與導管不同之輸送路徑而再次重新供給至導管之上游側。根據專利文獻1所記載之纖維堆積裝置,可對溢出之纖維材料之過剩部分進行再利用,因此,可高效率地進行纖維堆積。 又,專利文獻2中記載有如下纖維堆積裝置,即,於形成於纖維堆積轉筒之外周面之集聚用凹部之寬度方向上之包含中高用凹部之區域(一般而言為中央區域),遍及圓周方向過剩地供給、堆積紙漿之後,利用設置於纖維堆積轉筒之旋轉方向下游側之刮擦輥刮取過剩部分,進而於旋轉方向下游側,向集聚用凹部之寬度方向上之不包含中高用凹部之區域(一般而言為兩側部區域)再次纖維堆積。 根據專利文獻2所記載之纖維堆積裝置,由於集聚用凹部中之中高用凹部之深度較其以外之凹部深,故而紙漿之過剩部分(中央區域)中,中高用凹部僅被略微刮取,而可穩定地成形所需之高度(基重)。另一方面,紙漿之過剩部分(中央區域)中,中高用凹部以外之凹部較中高用凹部更多地被刮取,而消除過剩堆積狀態。並且,將所刮取之量向成為過少堆積狀態之兩側部區域再次纖維堆積,因此,中高部以外之周圍部之高度(基重)大致均勻化。 又,由於中高用凹部之內側(非紙漿堆積側)未配置調整體,故而吸引力亦形成為較強,於遍及包含中高用凹部之區域(中央區域)之圓周方向過剩地供給、堆積紙漿時,可將紙漿集中堆積於中高用凹部。因此,可形成更高(更高基重)之中高部,且亦可抑制利用刮擦輥刮取之紙漿量。因該等效果,可不產生吸收體重量(基重)之偏差而形成所需之高度(基重)之中高部及周圍部,並且無需如專利文獻1之經由其他輸送路徑而再供給藉由刮擦輥刮取之紙漿等之複雜控制。 又,於專利文獻3中記載有如下2階段之纖維堆積裝置,即,於纖維堆積轉筒之上游側之位置,利用第1導管供給纖維材料,且藉由刮擦輥刮取纖維堆積於集聚用凹部內之中高部用凹部之纖維材料以外之纖維材料,於纖維堆積轉筒之下游側之位置,利用第2導管對纖維堆積於中高部用凹部之纖維材料上供給纖維材料使之纖維堆積於集聚用凹部。 先前技術文獻 專利文獻 專利文獻1:日本專利特開2010-35701號公報 專利文獻2:日本專利特開2015-126872號公報 專利文獻3:日本專利特表2006-500155號公報As an absorbent body for absorbent articles such as disposable diapers, menstrual tampons, incontinence pads, etc., from the standpoint of improvement in wearing feeling or leakproofness, there are thick-walled parts having relatively high heights and relatively high heights. In the case of an absorber having a lower thin-walled portion, in particular, an absorber having a middle-high portion (thick-walled portion) in which the thickness of the central portion increases is used. As a method for manufacturing such an absorbent body having a middle and high portion, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3 describe a method of using a fiber stacking device including a drum having a deeper middle and high portion recessed portion on the outer peripheral surface in the recessed portion for accumulation. . Patent Document 1 describes a fiber stacking device that uses a duct to supply a fibrous material in a scattered state to the outer peripheral surface of a rotating drum, and scrapes it from the aggregating recessed portion of the rotating drum by a scraping roller disposed on the downstream side to overflow. The excess fiber material is re-supplied to the upstream side of the catheter via a conveying path different from that of the catheter. According to the fiber stacking device described in Patent Document 1, the excess portion of the overflowing fiber material can be reused, and therefore, the fiber stacking can be performed efficiently. Further, Patent Document 2 describes a fiber stacking device including a region (generally, a central region) including a middle and high recessed portion in the width direction of the collecting recessed portion formed on the outer peripheral surface of the fiber stacking drum. After the pulp is excessively supplied and stacked in the circumferential direction, the excess portion is scraped off by a wiper roller provided on the downstream side of the fiber stacking drum in the rotation direction, and further downstream of the rotation direction, the middle and high are not included in the width direction of the accumulation recess. The area of the recess (generally the area on both sides) is again used for fiber accumulation. According to the fiber stacking device described in Patent Document 2, since the depth of the middle and high recesses is deeper than the other recesses, the middle and high recesses in the excess portion (central area) of the pulp are only slightly scraped, and The required height (basis weight) can be formed stably. On the other hand, in the excess portion (central area) of the pulp, the recessed portions other than the middle-high recessed portions are scraped more than the middle-high recessed portions to eliminate the excess accumulation state. In addition, since the scraped amount is again accumulated in the region on both side portions that are in a too little accumulation state, the height (basis weight) of the peripheral portions other than the middle and high portions is substantially uniform. In addition, since the adjusting body is not arranged on the inner side (non-pulp accumulation side) of the middle and high recesses, the attractive force is also formed. When the pulp is excessively supplied and accumulated in the circumferential direction of the area (central region) including the middle and high recesses, , The pulp can be concentrated in the middle and high recesses. Therefore, a higher (higher basis weight) middle-high portion can be formed, and the amount of pulp scraped by the scraping roller can also be suppressed. Due to these effects, it is possible to form the required height (basic weight) of the middle (high) and surrounding portions without causing variations in the absorbent body weight (basic weight), and it is not necessary to resupply by scraping through another transport path as in Patent Document 1. Complicated control of pulp, etc. scraped by the rubbing roller. Further, Patent Document 3 describes a two-stage fiber stacking device in which a fiber material is supplied through a first duct at a position upstream of the fiber stacking drum, and the fiber is collected by a scraping roller and accumulated in the stack. Using a fiber material other than the fiber material in the middle and high recessed portion in the recessed portion, the fiber is deposited on the fiber material stacked in the middle and high recessed portion by using a second duct at a position downstream of the fiber stacking drum, so that the fiber is stacked. In the recess for gathering.

The air flow generated by the suction causes the fibers of the formed body material to accumulate in the agglomeration recesses to produce an absorbent body. The agglomeration recess has a first region and a second region having a deeper depth than the first region, and is provided inside the duct with a scraping roller that is arranged facing the outer periphery of the drum and scrapes fibers. The excess amount of the formed body material accumulated; and a scraping guide portion, which is disposed at a position away from the scraping roller toward the upstream side of the rotation direction of the drum, and in a scattering state that will be scraped by the scraping roller. The formed body material is separated in the drum width direction of the drum. The scraping guide portion has a top portion protruding toward the downstream side in the rotation direction of the drum when viewed from the outer side of the normal direction of the outer peripheral surface of the drum. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an absorbent body, which supplies the formed body material in a scattered state to a drum having an accumulation recessed portion on the outer peripheral surface, and the formed body material fibers are deposited on the accumulation recessed portion to manufacture the absorbent body. The manufacturing method of the absorbent body includes a fiber stacking step of supplying the formed body material in a scattered state toward the outer peripheral surface of the drum, and depositing the formed body material fibers in the agglomeration recess; and a fiber stacking step, After the fiber stacking step, the scraped rollers disposed facing the outer peripheral surface of the rotating drum are used to scrape the molded body material in which excess fibers are accumulated, and the scraped formed body material is again stacked in fibers. In the above-mentioned re-fiber stacking step, the formed body in a scattering state scraped by the scraping roller is disposed by a scraping guide disposed at a position away from the scraping roller to an upstream side in the rotation direction of the rotating drum. The material is separated in the width direction of the drum of the drum, and the fibers are accumulated again on both sides of the agglomeration recess.

然而,專利文獻1所記載之纖維堆積裝置僅將利用刮擦輥刮取之纖維材料經由其他輸送路徑而再次重新供給至導管之上游側。又,由於中高用凹部與其以外之集聚用凹部係相同之吸引力,故而紙漿之堆積厚度(纖維堆積基重)於該集聚用凹部之各區域相同,因此,集聚用凹部中之與中高部用凹部對應之纖維堆積部分之外表面相較於與中高部用凹部以外之集聚用凹部對應之纖維堆積部分之外表面成為凹陷之狀態。因此,為了達成所需之基重之中高部,必須於過剩地供給紙漿直至中高部成為所需之基重之後,利用刮擦輥刮取明顯過剩地堆積於中高部以外之集聚用凹部之紙漿,並再次重新進行供給。如此一來,再供給之紙漿量變得過多,再供給紙漿量之計測、及預測再供給量而控制來自粉碎機之紙漿供給量(紙漿進料量)變得困難。其結果,存在如下問題,即,有吸收體重量變得不穩定之虞。 又,於專利文獻2所記載之纖維堆積裝置中,存在如下情形,即,於利用刮擦輥刮取紙漿之過剩部分(中央區域),且於集聚用凹部之寬度方向上,使其向不包含中高用凹部之區域(一般而言為兩側部區域)再次纖維堆積時,未必使所刮取之紙漿全部向不包含中高用凹部之區域(一般而言為兩側部區域)再次纖維堆積,一部分亦向包含中高用凹部之區域(一般而言為中央區域)再次纖維堆積。於專利文獻2中,為了儘可能使所刮取之紙漿向兩側部區域再次纖維堆積,而於兩側部區域之內側與中高用凹部之內側同樣地未配置調整體而增強吸引力,但若僅此而已則並不充分。於是,會存在被多次重複刮取之紙漿,而有吸收體重量變得不穩定,周圍部之基重變得不均勻,或再次纖維堆積區域內被重複刮取之紙漿充滿而成為裝置無法連續運轉之狀態等之虞。進而,由於在刮擦輥之寬度方向之整個面形成有用以刮取紙漿之突部,故而有將難得再次纖維堆積於不包含中高用凹部之區域(一般而言為兩側部區域)之紙漿再次刮取而效率降低之虞。 又,於專利文獻3所記載之纖維堆積裝置中,存在如下問題,即,謀求於先使纖維材料纖維堆積於中高部用凹部之後,使纖維材料纖維堆積於中高部用凹部以外之集聚用凹部內,但由於無紙漿供給之控制機構,而僅單純地利用刮擦輥等將纖維堆積於中高用凹部以外之集聚用凹部內之紙漿去除,因此,紙漿逐漸積存於第1成形室內,而無法進行長時間之連續加工。又,亦存在如下問題,即,於利用刮擦輥等將纖維堆積於中高用凹部以外之集聚用凹部內之紙漿去除之情形時,難以僅避開間斷地配置於纖維堆積轉筒之圓周方向之中高用凹部而僅將其他部分去除。 因此,本發明在於提供一種能夠消除上述先前技術所具有之缺點之吸收體之製造裝置。 以下,一面參照圖式一面基於本發明之較佳之實施形態對本發明進行說明。 圖1中示出有作為本發明之吸收體之製造裝置之較佳之本實施形態之製造裝置的概略。本實施形態之製造裝置1係吸收體3之製造裝置,其包括外周面21具有集聚用凹部22之轉筒2、及朝向轉筒2之外周面21以飛散狀態供給成形體材料之導管4,且藉由因來自轉筒2之內部之吸引而產生之空氣流使成形體材料纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22,從而製造吸收體3。而且,集聚用凹部22具有第1區域、及深度較該第1區域更深之第2區域。集聚用凹部22之上述第2區域於製造裝置1中如圖2所示般由配置於集聚用凹部22之中央區域之較該集聚用凹部22更深之中高用凹部23形成。而且,集聚用凹部22之上述第1區域由除中央區域之中高用凹部23以外之集聚用凹部22形成。即,本實施形態之製造裝置1包括:轉筒2,其於外周面21具有集聚用凹部22,且於該集聚用凹部22中央區域具有較該集聚用凹部22更深之中高用凹部23;及導管4,其朝向轉筒2之外周面21以飛散狀態供給成形體材料。 詳細而言,如圖1所示,製造裝置1具備於箭頭R2方向上被旋轉驅動之轉筒2、對轉筒2之外周面21供給成形體材料之導管4、配置於轉筒2之斜下方且於箭頭R5方向上被旋轉驅動之傳料輥5、配置於傳料輥5之下方之真空輸送機6、及切斷裝置7。於製造裝置1中,進而,真空箱11設置於轉筒2之圓周方向上之導管4與傳料輥5之間,且網帶13以通過真空箱11與轉筒2之間及傳料輥5與轉筒2之間之方式配置,且擋風板15近接於傳料輥5之外周面而設置。再者,就使集聚用凹部22內之纖維堆積物不變形而穩定地轉印之觀點而言,於製造裝置1中設置有真空箱11及擋風板15,但亦可不設置。如圖1所示,轉筒2之旋轉方向係相對於下述包芯片材37之搬送方向成為反向之箭頭R2方向之旋轉方向,傳料輥5之旋轉方向係相對於包芯片材37之搬送方向成為正向之箭頭R5方向之旋轉方向。 導管4之內部具備:刮擦輥42,其與轉筒2之外周面21對向配置,且刮取纖維堆積之過剩量之成形體材料;及刮擦引導部43,其配置於自刮擦輥42向轉筒2之旋轉方向(R2方向)上游離開之位置且將利用刮擦輥42刮取之飛散狀態之成形體材料於轉筒2之轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)分離。較佳為,導管4如圖1所示般,其一端側位於轉筒2之空間B上並覆蓋遍及該空間B之區域全域之轉筒2之外周面,且於未圖示之另一端側具有成形體材料導入裝置(未圖示)。成形體材料導入裝置例如具備粉碎機,該粉碎機將片狀之木材紙漿粉碎而製成解纖紙漿,且將該解纖紙漿(纖維材料)送入導管4內。亦可於導管4之中途設置導入吸水性聚合物之粒子之吸水性聚合物導入部。 刮擦輥42於導管4之內部如圖1~圖3所示般以與纖維堆積於外周面21上之成形體材料接觸之方式與轉筒2之外周面21對向配置。而且,刮擦輥42於導管4之內部以將纖維堆積之過剩量之成形體材料刮取,並使所刮取之該成形體材料再次纖維堆積之方式配置。於製造裝置1中,刮擦輥42具有圓柱狀之輥本體421、及豎立設置於輥本體421之外周面之刮取用之複數個突起422。刮擦輥42於轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)上,其輥本體421遍及對向之外周面21之集聚用凹部22之全寬而配置。 複數個突起422亦可遍及對向之集聚用凹部22之全寬而配置,但於製造裝置1中,如圖3所示般僅配置於輥本體421之外周面中之與纖維堆積於構成轉筒2之下述一對環板29、29彼此之間之區域之過剩量之成形體材料對應之區域。如此,於製造裝置1中,構成刮擦輥42之輥本體421具有於旋轉軸方向中央部配置有複數個突起422之區域421T、及該區域421T以外之區域即於旋轉軸方向兩端部未配置突起422之區域。即,於旋轉軸方向兩端部未配置突起422之區域,並未以較區域421T中之突起422彼此之旋轉軸方向之間隔更長之間隔存在突起。作為突起422之形成材料,使用不鏽鋼、鋁、鐵等金屬、或合成樹脂等,於製造裝置1中,使用成為不鏽鋼製之突起422之毛刷。 構成刮擦輥42之突起422之高度可根據所要刮取之成形體材料之量而適當設定,但於製造裝置1中,突起422之高度較佳為離刮擦輥42之輥本體421之周面1 mm~10 mm左右之高度,特佳為4 mm~6 mm左右之高度。 又,構成刮擦輥42之突起422之頂部與對向之外周面21之集聚用凹部22之間隙可根據要刮取之成形體材料之量而適當設定,但於製造裝置1中,如圖2所示,於突起422之頂部到達形成轉筒2之最外表面之下述環板29之外表面29a之位置設定間隙。關於間隙之調整,可調整突起422之高度(自輥本體421之突出量),但亦可移動輥本體421本身之位置而調整與轉筒2之距離。 刮擦輥42受到來自馬達等原動機之動力而繞著水平軸旋轉。於製造裝置1中,如圖2、圖3所示,刮擦輥42於箭頭R3方向上被旋轉驅動,與轉筒2對向之面以於與轉筒2之旋轉方向相反方向移動之方式旋轉。即,於製造裝置1中,刮擦輥42與轉筒2之旋轉方向相同。就刮取成形體材料之量與使所刮取之成形體材料於附近再次纖維堆積之平衡之觀點而言,刮擦輥42之圓周速度較佳為轉筒2之圓周速度之2倍以上且10倍以下,進而較佳為3倍以上且5倍以下。即,若如此使刮擦輥42之圓周速度較轉筒2之圓周速度快,則刮擦輥42之突起422與在集聚用凹部22內以溢出之方式纖維堆積之過剩量之成形體材料接觸之次數增加,從而可將除中高用凹部23部分以外之集聚用凹部22中之過剩量之成形體材料全部刮取。再者,刮擦輥42之圓周速度係指輥本體421表面上之周速,轉筒2之圓周速度係指形成轉筒2之外周面21之下述環板29表面上之周速。 如圖1~圖3所示,刮擦引導部43配置於導管4之內部。刮擦引導部43具有自轉筒2之外周面21之法線方向(與轉筒2之旋轉軸方向正交之方向)之外側俯視時朝向刮擦輥42側即轉筒2之旋轉方向下游側凸出之頂部431。作為刮擦引導部43之形成材料,使用合成樹脂、或不鏽鋼、鋁、鐵等金屬等,於製造裝置1中使用不鏽鋼製之刮擦引導部。 刮擦引導部43自轉筒2之外周面21之法線方向之外側俯視時,其寬度可自轉筒2之旋轉方向(R2方向)上游側朝向旋轉方向下游側(頂部431側)階段性地變短,但於製造裝置1中,係如圖3所示般逐漸減小。具體而言,形成刮擦引導部43之頂部431之兩側壁43s、43s分別豎立設置於轉筒2之外周面21之法線方向,且兩側壁43s、43s之間隔自轉筒2之旋轉方向(R2方向)上游側之上游部43f朝向旋轉方向下游側之頂部431側逐漸減小。以下,於本說明書中,亦將自轉筒2之外周面之法線方向之外側俯視刮擦引導部43等對象物稱為平面觀察刮擦引導部43等對象物。 於製造裝置1中,如圖3所示,刮擦引導部43於平面觀察下其頂部431之位置與刮擦輥42之輥本體421中之配置有複數個突起422之區域421T之轉筒2之旋轉軸方向中央部一致。若如此使頂部431之位置與配置有突起422之區域421T之轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)中央部一致,則可將由刮擦輥42刮取之該成形體材料利用刮擦引導部43大致等分量地分離,從而可再次纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22中之已過剩地纖維堆積之部分之兩側部。 於製造裝置1中,如圖3所示,刮擦引導部43於平面觀察下,其上游部43f之寬度形成為與於集聚用凹部22內以溢出之方式纖維堆積之過剩量之成形體材料之寬度相同之寬度。即,刮擦引導部43之上游部43f之寬度形成為與集聚用凹部22中之下述一對間隔板41、41彼此之間之間隔相同之長度。又,於製造裝置1中,就於較中高用凹部23之寬度更寬之寬度之區域使成形體材料過剩地纖維堆積之觀點而言,較佳為於平面觀察下,於轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)上刮擦引導部43與中高用凹部23(第2區域)重疊之位置配置刮擦引導部43,且刮擦引導部43之上游部43f之寬度與中高用凹部23之寬度相同或較中高用凹部23之寬度更寬。 於製造裝置1中,如圖2所示,刮擦引導部43之與轉筒2之外周面21對向之底面43d沿著轉筒2之外周面21於旋轉方向(R2方向)延伸。較佳為刮擦引導部43之底面43d之位置位於較刮擦輥42之輥本體421旋轉而最靠近轉筒2之外周面21之突起422之頂部之位置更靠外周面21之法線方向之外側。而且,進而較佳為,刮擦引導部43之底面43d與轉筒2之外周面21隔開間隔而配置至不會與在集聚用凹部22內以溢出之方式纖維堆積之過剩量之成形體材料之頂部接觸之位置。 又,於製造裝置1中,如圖1、圖2所示,導管4之內部具有自該導管4之頂面下垂之下垂板44。而且,藉由下垂板44而將導管4之內部分割為轉筒2之旋轉方向(R2方向)上游側之纖維堆積區域PT及旋轉方向(R2方向)下游側之再次纖維堆積區域RPT。於導管4之內部之再次纖維堆積區域RPT配置有刮擦輥42及刮擦引導部43。較佳為,於製造裝置1中,如圖3所示,自轉筒2之外周面21之法線方向之外側俯視時,於導管4之內部之再次纖維堆積區域RPT中之旋轉方向(R2方向)下游側配置刮擦輥42,於旋轉方向(R2方向)上游側配置有刮擦引導部43,且刮擦輥42及刮擦引導部43相互隔開而配置。此處,所謂導管4之內部之纖維堆積區域PT係使飛散狀態之成形體材料以自集聚用凹部22溢出之方式過剩地纖維堆積之區域。又,所謂導管4之內部之再次纖維堆積區域RPT係利用刮擦輥42刮取纖維堆積之過剩量之成形體材料,並使用刮擦引導部43將所刮取之成形體材料再次纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22中之已過剩地纖維堆積之部分之兩側部的區域。 於製造裝置1中,如圖1、圖3所示,下垂板44形成為遍及導管4之全寬而自導管4之頂面朝向轉筒2之圓周方向(2X方向)之上游側凸出之曲面狀。下垂板44之前端下垂至不會與以溢出之方式纖維堆積之過剩量之成形體材料之頂部接觸之位置。藉由配置此種下垂板44,於導管4之內部,刮擦輥42被隔開。 若配置有此種下垂板44,則纖維堆積區域PT(經解纖之成形體材料纖維堆積於轉筒2之表面上之區域)與再次纖維堆積區域RPT(由刮擦輥42刮取之成形體材料被再次纖維堆積之區域)被分割開,於再次纖維堆積區域RPT由刮擦輥42刮取之成形體材料僅於再次纖維堆積區域RPT被纖維堆積。如此,於再次纖維堆積區域RPT被刮取之成形體材料不會到達至纖維堆積區域PT,因此,不易阻礙纖維堆積區域PT中之成形體材料之纖維堆積。 又,若無該下垂板44,則所刮取之成形體材料再次纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22之位置會不均,於偶然較多地再次纖維堆積之部分與基本未再次纖維堆積之部分基重容易產生不均,但藉由設置形成為曲面狀之下垂板44,由刮擦輥42刮取之成形體材料沿著下垂板44之曲面流動,並再次纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22(集聚用凹部22中之已過剩地纖維堆積之部分之兩側部),因此,再次纖維堆積位置較穩定,且纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22之兩側部之基重較穩定。 於製造裝置1中,如圖1、圖2所示,刮擦引導部43固定於下垂板44。較佳為,於自刮擦輥42於旋轉方向(R2方向)上游側離開之位置配置刮擦引導部43,且刮擦引導部43之頂面43u形成為沿著下垂板44朝向轉筒2之圓周方向(2X方向)之上游側凸出之曲面狀。而且,刮擦引導部43之頂面43u側固定於下垂板44之內表面。 又,於製造裝置1中,如圖1、圖4所示,導管4之內部具有配置於自刮擦引導部43向轉筒2之旋轉方向(R2方向)上游側離開之位置且沿著轉筒2之圓周方向(2X方向)之兩側部之一對間隔板41、41。於製造裝置1中,一對間隔板41、41配置於由下垂板44分割成之導管4之內部中之旋轉方向(R2方向)上游側之纖維堆積區域PT。一對間隔板41、41係使自導管4供給之飛散狀態之成形體材料以自集聚用凹部22溢出之方式過剩地纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22中之與一對間隔板41、41彼此之間對應之區域,以此方式空開一對間隔板41、41彼此之間隔而配置。 於製造裝置1中,如圖1所示,一對間隔板41、41沿著沿轉筒2之圓周方向(2X方向)之兩側部延伸。又,一對間隔板41、41於導管4之內部,配置於轉筒2與導管4之另一端側之成形體材料導入裝置(未圖示)之間且形成轉筒2之外周面21之下述一對環板29、29上,並且沿著環板29於圓周方向(2X方向)延伸。又,各間隔板41於轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)上,於如圖4所示般剖面觀察時,自構成導管4之各側壁40越過下述環板29而延伸至覆蓋配置於轉筒2之集聚用凹部22中之沿著圓周方向(2X方向)之側部之位置。若進而詳細地進行敍述,則各間隔板41自構成導管4之各側壁40越過下述環板29而延伸至配置於轉筒2之集聚用凹部22中央區域之中高用凹部23中之沿著圓周方向(2X方向)之側緣附近。若一對間隔板41、41延伸至上述位置,則亦可為與轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)平行地延伸之板狀之間隔板等,但較佳為具有以自導管4之另一端側之成形體材料導入裝置(未圖示)側朝向轉筒2而彼此之間隔逐漸變窄之方式傾斜之面者。只要一對間隔板41、41為具有此種傾斜之面之形態,則成形體材料不易堆積於間隔板41上。 作為具有上述傾斜之面者,於製造裝置1中,各間隔板41如圖1、圖4所示般,成為具有大致直角三角形之剖面、或上底較下底極窄之梯形之剖面之四角錐台形狀。此種四角錐台形狀之一對間隔板41、41於轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)上相互隔開,且彼此之對向面自導管4之另一端側之成形體材料導入裝置(未圖示)側朝向轉筒2以彼此之間隔逐漸變窄之方式傾斜,且一對間隔板41、41之轉筒2側之端部41a、41a彼此之間隔與集聚用凹部22中央區域之中高用凹部23之寬度一致。又,如圖4所示,一對間隔板41、41之最靠近轉筒2之下端41d、41d於轉筒2之旋轉軸方向剖面觀察時,自構成導管4之側壁延伸至覆蓋集聚用凹部22中之沿著圓周方向(2X方向)之側部之位置。即,各間隔板41與構成導管4之側壁相接而形成。作為此種間隔板41之形成材料,可使用金屬或合成樹脂、或將其等組合之材料等。 於製造裝置1中,如圖1所示,轉筒2形成圓筒狀,且受到來自馬達等原動機之動力而繞著水平軸旋轉。如圖5所示,轉筒2之外周面21具有供成形體材料纖維堆積之集聚用凹部22,進而,具有配置於集聚用凹部22中之轉筒2之轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)之中央區域且較該集聚用凹部22更深之中高用凹部23。包含中高用凹部23之集聚用凹部22以特定之間隔於轉筒2之圓周方向(2X方向)上形成有複數個。圖5中,2X方向係轉筒2之圓周方向,2Y方向係轉筒2之轉筒寬度方向(與轉筒2之旋轉軸平行之方向)。 如圖6所示,轉筒2具有:圓筒狀之轉筒本體(未圖示),其係由金屬製之剛體構成;吸引調整板24,其重疊於該轉筒本體之外周部而被固定;中高用多孔性板25(多孔性構件),其重疊於該吸引調整板24之外表面24a側而被固定;空間板26,其重疊於該中高用多孔性板25之外表面25a側而被固定;多孔性板27(多孔性構件),其重疊於該空間板26之外表面26a側而被固定;凹部劃分板28,其重疊於該多孔性板27之外表面27a側而被固定;及環板29,其重疊於該凹部劃分板28之外表面28a側而被固定。轉筒2係將上述轉筒本體及該等各板24~29藉由螺栓或接著劑等公知之固定手段相互固定而形成。此處,如圖5、圖6所示,作為成形體材料之被纖維堆積面之中高用凹部23之底面23a係由具有複數個(多個)吸引孔之中高用多孔性板25(多孔性構件)構成。又,作為成形體材料之被纖維堆積面之集聚用凹部22之底面22a,詳細而言為除中高用凹部23部分以外之集聚用凹部22之底面22a係由多孔性板27構成。 再者,於本說明書中,轉筒2之各構成構件(吸引調整板24、中高用多孔性板25、空間板26、多孔性板27、凹部劃分板28、環板29等)之外表面係該構成構件中之於纖維堆積成形體材料時朝向該成形體材料之供給側之面。又,該各構成構件之內表面係該構成構件中之於纖維堆積成形體材料時朝向與該成形體材料之供給側為相反側(轉筒之內側)之面。由製造裝置1製造之成形體為用於拋棄式尿布或經期衛生棉等吸收性物品之吸收體之情形時,成形體材料係吸收體原料。 成形體材料係包含纖維材料者。作為吸收體原料之成形體材料可無特別限制地使用先前用於經期衛生棉或衛生護墊、拋棄式尿布等吸收性物品之吸收體之各種成形體材料。例如,使用解纖紙漿等紙漿纖維、嫘縈纖維、棉纖維等纖維素系纖維之短纖維或聚乙烯等合成纖維之短纖維等。該等纖維材料可單獨使用1種或組合2種以上而使用。又,作為吸收體原料,亦可一併使用纖維材料及吸水性聚合物。又,作為纖維狀之原料亦可單獨使用纖維狀之吸水性聚合物或與纖維材料一併使用。進而,亦可視需要一併使用纖維材料等及除臭劑或抗菌劑等。 如圖6所示,環板29係其外表面29a位於轉筒2之最外側且形成外周面21之一部分之構件,亦為形成集聚用凹部22之外周面之構件。此處,所謂「集聚用凹部22之外周面」係指自轉筒2之外周面21之法線方向之外側俯視集聚用凹部22時之沿著集聚用凹部22之輪廓之外表面。於製造裝置1中,平面觀察集聚用凹部22時,集聚用凹部22具有於搬送方向較長之矩形狀之輪廓,因此,1對環板29、29配置於轉筒2之兩側部,且各環板29遍及轉筒2之全周以相同寬度延伸形成。又,各環板29之厚度形成為固定。 於以如上方式形成之環板29中,1對環板29、29彼此之間決定集聚用凹部22之寬度,環板29之厚度成為決定集聚用凹部22之深度之要素之一。1對環板29、29除其等之間之部分以外成為不使空氣透過之非透氣性。此處,所謂「非透氣性」,包含「完全不使空氣透過之非透氣性」及「有微量之空氣透過但實質上不使空氣透過之難透氣性」之兩個意思,係指實質非透氣性。作為環板29,例如可使用對不鏽鋼或鋁等金屬或樹脂製之板實施機械加工而形成有開口部(與凹部22內之立體形狀對應之形狀之空間部)之板、或使用模具而一體成形有該開口部之板、或經穿孔、蝕刻之板、將該等板重疊而成者等。 如圖6所示,凹部劃分板28具有於厚度方向貫通之複數個十字狀之開口部281、劃分形成各十字狀之開口部281之十字狀之開口部劃分形成構件282、於厚度方向貫通之複數個開口部283、及劃分形成各開口部283之開口部劃分形成部284。十字狀之開口部281於圓周方向(2X方向)間斷地配置有複數個。開口部劃分形成部284於平面觀察下除複數個十字狀之開口部281(十字狀之開口部劃分形成構件282)以外之區域,具有與搬送方向平行地延伸之複數根MD(Machine Direction,縱向)劃分形成構件285及與轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)平行地延伸之(於與搬送方向垂直之方向延伸之)複數根CD(Cross Direction,橫向)劃分形成構件286。開口部劃分形成部284中,複數根MD劃分形成構件285與複數根CD劃分形成構件286交叉而形成為格子狀,各開口部283位於該格子狀之開口部劃分形成部284中之格子眼之部分,且形成為具有與各開口部劃分形成部284相同之輪廓之形狀。 十字狀之開口部劃分形成構件282與具有MD劃分形成構件285及CD劃分形成構件286之開口部劃分形成部284具有不使空氣透過之非透氣性。此處所謂之「非透氣性」與上述相同。作為非透氣性之劃分形成構件282、285、286之形成材料,可使用不鏽鋼、鋁、鐵等金屬、或樹脂、或將其等組合之材料等。凹部劃分板28所具有之複數個十字狀之開口部281及複數個開口部283配置於由重疊於該凹部劃分板28之外表面28a而被固定之1對環板29、29夾著的區域。構成凹部劃分板28之十字狀之開口部劃分形成構件282及格子狀之開口部劃分形成部284之厚度形成為固定。凹部劃分板28之厚度亦與環板29之厚度同樣地成為決定集聚用凹部22之深度之要素之一。 如圖6所示,多孔性板27具有複數個十字狀之開口部271。多孔性板27之十字狀之開口部271配置於與重疊於多孔性板27之外表面27a而被固定之凹部劃分板28之各十字狀之開口部281相同之位置。多孔性板27之複數個十字狀之開口部271與凹部劃分板28之複數個十字狀之開口部281一對一地對應,且存在平面觀察之形狀彼此相似之關係。於製造裝置1中,多孔性板27之十字狀之開口部271相對於對應之凹部劃分板28之十字狀之開口部281之相似比為1,開口部271與開口部281存在平面觀察之形狀彼此全等之關係。 多孔性板27係形成除中高用凹部23部分以外之集聚用凹部22之底面22a之構件。多孔性板27係如下之透氣性之板,即,將藉由來自製造裝置1之內部側(轉筒2之內側)之吸引而產生之空氣流(真空空氣)傳遞至覆蓋轉筒2之導管4內,將伴隨該空氣流而運送來之成形體材料以不透過之方式保持,僅使空氣透過。於多孔性板27中,於除複數個十字狀之開口部271以外之區域,以均勻之分佈形成有複數個(多個)於厚度方向貫通該板27之吸引孔(細孔),於集聚用凹部22通過轉筒2內之被維持為負壓之空間上之期間,該吸引孔作為空氣流之透過孔發揮功能。作為多孔性板27,例如可使用金屬或樹脂製之網目板、或藉由對金屬或樹脂製之板進行蝕刻、穿孔而形成有複數個(多個)細孔者等。 如圖6所示,空間板26包括:環狀劃分形成構件261,其沿著重疊於空間板26之外表面26a而被固定之多孔性板27之各十字狀之開口部271之輪廓形成;複數根MD劃分形成構件262,其等與搬送方向平行地延伸;及複數根CD劃分形成構件263,其等與轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)平行地延伸(於與搬送方向垂直之方向延伸)。MD劃分形成構件262及CD劃分形成構件263不僅相互交叉,亦與環狀劃分形成構件261交叉,而形成格子形狀。空間板26於由環狀劃分形成構件261包圍之區域具有複數個環狀內開口部264,該等環狀內開口部264位於MD劃分形成構件262及CD劃分形成構件263交叉而成之格子眼之部分,且於厚度方向上貫通。又,空間板26於除環狀劃分形成構件261以外之區域具有複數個開口部265,該等開口部265位於MD劃分形成構件262及CD劃分形成構件263交叉而成之格子眼之部分,且於厚度方向上貫通。 於製造裝置1中,空間板26之複數個環狀劃分形成構件261相對於對應之多孔性板27之十字狀之開口部271之輪廓之相似比為1。因此,環狀劃分形成構件261不僅與多孔性板27之開口部271之輪廓存在平面觀察之形狀彼此全等之關係,與劃分形成與多孔性板27之開口部271存在全等關係的凹部劃分板28之十字狀之開口部281的開口部劃分形成構件282之輪廓亦存在平面觀察之形狀彼此全等之關係。 又,於製造裝置1中,空間板26之開口部265相對於對應之凹部劃分板28之開口部283之相似比為1,開口部265與開口部283存在平面觀察之形狀彼此全等之關係。構成空間板26之環狀劃分形成構件261、MD劃分形成構件262及CD劃分形成構件263之厚度形成為固定。空間板26之厚度成為決定集聚用凹部22之中央區域之中高用凹部23之深度之要素之一。 空間板26之環狀劃分形成構件261、MD劃分形成構件262及CD劃分形成構件263具有不使空氣透過之非透氣性。此處所謂之「非透氣性」如上。作為非透氣性之環狀劃分形成構件261、MD劃分形成構件262及CD劃分形成構件263之形成材料,可使用不鏽鋼、鋁、鐵等金屬、或樹脂、或將其等組合之材料等。 如圖6所示,中高用多孔性板25配置有複數個,且各形成為十字狀之形狀。各十字狀之中高用多孔性板25配置於與重疊於中高用多孔性板25之外表面25a而被固定之空間板26之各環狀劃分形成構件261相同之位置。複數個十字狀之中高用多孔性板25之輪廓與空間板26之複數個環狀劃分形成構件261一對一地對應,且存在平面觀察之形狀彼此相似之關係。於製造裝置1中,十字狀之中高用多孔性板25相對於對應之空間板26之環狀劃分形成構件261之相似比為1。因此,十字狀之中高用多孔性板25不僅其輪廓與環狀劃分形成構件261存在全等之關係,其整體形狀與多孔性板27之開口部271、及凹部劃分板28之十字狀之開口部281亦存在平面觀察之形狀彼此全等之關係。 中高用多孔性板25係形成中高用凹部23之底面23a之構件。中高用多孔性板25與多孔性板27同樣地係如下之透氣性之板,即,將藉由來自製造裝置1之內部側(轉筒2之內側)之吸引而產生之空氣流(真空空氣)傳遞至覆蓋轉筒2之導管4內,將伴隨該空氣流而運送來之成形體材料以不透過之方式保持,僅使空氣透過。於中高用多孔性板25中,以均勻之分佈形成有複數個(多個)於厚度方向貫通該板25之吸引孔(細孔),於集聚用凹部22內之中高用凹部23通過轉筒2內之被維持為負壓之空間上之期間,該吸引孔作為空氣流之透過孔發揮功能。作為中高用多孔性板25,例如可使用金屬或樹脂製之網目板、或藉由對金屬或樹脂製之板進行蝕刻、穿孔而形成有複數個(多個)細孔者等。 如圖6所示,吸引調整板24具有:環狀劃分形成構件241,其沿著重疊於吸引調整板24之外表面24a而被固定之十字狀之中高用多孔性板25之輪廓形成;複數根MD劃分形成構件242,其等與搬送方向平行地延伸;及複數根CD劃分形成構件243,其等與轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)平行地延伸(於與搬送方向垂直之方向延伸)。MD劃分形成構件242及CD劃分形成構件243不僅相互交叉,亦與環狀劃分形成構件241交叉而形成格子形狀。吸引調整板24於由環狀劃分形成構件241包圍之區域具有複數個環狀內開口部244,該等環狀內開口部244位於MD劃分形成構件242及CD劃分形成構件243交叉而成之格子眼之部分,且於厚度方向上貫通。吸引調整板24之複數個環狀內開口部244與介隔中高用多孔性板25而被固定於吸引調整板24之外表面24a上的空間板26之複數個環狀內開口部264一對一地對應,且存在平面觀察之形狀彼此相似之關係。於製造裝置1中,吸引調整板24之環狀內開口部244相對於對應之空間板26之環狀內開口部264之相似比為1,且環狀內開口部244與環狀內開口部264存在平面觀察之形狀彼此全等之關係。 如圖6所示,吸引調整板24於除環狀劃分形成構件241以外之區域具有複數個開口部245,該等開口部245位於MD劃分形成構件242及CD劃分形成構件243交叉而成之格子眼之部分,且於厚度方向上貫通。吸引調整板24之複數個開口部245與介隔中高用多孔性板25而被固定於吸引調整板24之外表面24a上的空間板26之複數個開口部265一對一地對應,且存在平面觀察之形狀彼此相似之關係。於製造裝置1中,吸引調整板24之開口部245相對於對應之空間板26之開口部265之相似比小於1,該相對比較佳為0.05以上且0.5以下。即,吸引調整板24之開口部245之開口面積較空間板26之開口部265之開口面積更窄。吸引調整板24之開口部245之開口面積(S2)相對於空間板26之開口部265之開口面積(S1)之比率(S2/S1)較佳為5%以上且50%以下,進而較佳為7%以上且15%以下。 構成吸引調整板24之環狀劃分形成構件241、MD劃分形成構件242及CD劃分形成構件243之厚度形成為固定。吸引調整板24之環狀劃分形成構件241、MD劃分形成構件242及CD劃分形成構件243具有不使空氣透過之非透氣性。此處所謂之「非透氣性」如上。作為非透氣性之環狀劃分形成構件241、MD劃分形成構件242及CD劃分形成構件243之形成材料,可使用不鏽鋼、鋁、鐵等金屬、或樹脂、或將其等組合之材料等。 轉筒2係將以如上方式構成之吸引調整板24、複數個中高用多孔性板25、空間板26、多孔性板27、凹部劃分板28、及一對環板29藉由公知之固定手段相互固定而形成。於以此方式構成之本實施形態之製造裝置1所具備之轉筒2中,如圖5所示,在集聚用凹部22之多孔性構件之內表面側,調整吸引力之調整體20重疊於該多孔性構件之內表面而配置。調整體20具有於厚度方向貫通該調整體20之複數個開口部,該開口部之一部分中,相對遠離集聚用凹部22之多孔性構件之開口部較相對靠近集聚用凹部22之多孔性構件之開口部而言開口面積變小。於中高用凹部23之多孔性構件之內表面側未配置調整吸引力之調整體20,多孔性構件之吸引孔(細孔)之外表面側之開口面積與內表面側之開口面積相同。詳細而言,配置於中高用凹部23之多孔性構件之外表面側之開口部的開口面積與配置於該多孔性構件之內表面側之開口部的開口面積相同。以下,具體地進行說明。 形成於轉筒2之外周面21之集聚用凹部22之中高用凹部23如圖5所示般平面觀察時,其輪廓與吸引調整板24之環狀劃分形成構件241、中高用多孔性板25之輪廓、空間板26之環狀劃分形成構件261、多孔性板27之開口部271之輪廓、及凹部劃分板28之開口部劃分形成構件282之位置一致,形成為十字狀。又,集聚用凹部22之中高用凹部23之底面23a由中高用多孔性板25(多孔性構件)構成,且於中高用凹部23內之區域,如圖5所示般平面觀察時,夾著中高用多孔性板25之吸引調整板24之複數個環狀內開口部244與空間板26之複數個環狀內開口部264之位置及形狀一致。如此,於較構成中高用凹部23之底面23a之中高用多孔性板25(多孔性構件)更靠轉筒2之內側僅配置有吸引調整板24,配置於中高用多孔性板25之外表面側之空間板26之環狀內開口部264的開口面積與配置於中高用多孔性板25之內表面側之吸引調整板24之環狀內開口部244的開口面積相同。因此,於集聚用凹部22中之中高用凹部23之中高用多孔性板25之內表面側未配置調整吸引力之調整體20。又,如圖4所示,集聚用凹部22之中高用凹部23之深度由配置於中高用多孔性板25上之空間板26之厚度、凹部劃分板28之厚度、及環板29之厚度形成。 如圖5所示般平面觀察時,形成於轉筒2之外周面21之集聚用凹部22之輪廓由一對矩形狀之環板29、29夾著而形成為帶狀。又,集聚用凹部22中除中高用凹部23以外之區域之底面22a由多孔性板27(多孔性構件)構成,且於除中高用凹部23以外之區域,如圖5所示般平面觀察時,凹部劃分板28之複數個開口部283與空間板26之複數個開口部265之位置及形狀一致,且於靠近該等開口部283、265之中心之位置配置有較該等開口部之開口面積更窄之吸引調整板24之開口部245。即,吸引調整板24之開口部245之開口面積較凹部劃分板28之開口部283及空間板26之開口部265各者之開口面積更窄。如此,於較構成集聚用凹部22之除中高用凹部23以外之區域之底面22a之多孔性板27(多孔性構件)更靠轉筒2之內側,配置有空間板26及吸引調整板24,由於相對遠離多孔性板27(多孔性構件)之吸引調整板24之開口部245較相對靠近多孔性板27(多孔性構件)之空間板26之開口部265而言開口面積變小,故而於集聚用凹部22之除中高用凹部23以外之區域之多孔性板27(多孔性構件)之內表面側配置有調整吸引力之調整體20。又,如圖4所示,集聚用凹部22(除中高用凹部23以外)之深度由配置於多孔性板27上之凹部劃分板28之厚度及環板29之厚度形成。 若於集聚用凹部22之除中高用凹部23以外之區域之多孔性板27(多孔性構件)之內表面側配置有上述調整體20,則相較於如中高用凹部23之中高用多孔性板25(多孔性構件)之內表面側般未配置調整體20之情形,會抑制藉由來自裝置內部側之吸引而經由多孔性構件吸引成形體材料之空氣流(真空空氣)。即,如圖7所示,自轉筒2之外側通過多孔性板27而朝向內側流動之空氣流(圖7中箭頭所示)於凹部22之底部中未配置調整體20之區域,以多孔性板27、空間板26之開口部265、及吸引調整板24之開口部245之順序通過轉筒2之各構成構件。此時,關於空氣流,因位於該空氣流之下風向且實質上作為成形體材料之吸引部發揮功能之吸引調整板24之開口部245相比位於較該開口部245更靠該空氣流之上風向之空間板26之開口部265而言開口面積形成為較小,故而經由多孔性板27之透氣性受到阻礙,而空氣流之風量被抑制。 再者,於將伴隨空氣流而供給之成形體材料吸引至集聚用凹部22並使之纖維堆積之纖維堆積步驟中,成形體材料之基重依存於流經多孔性構件之風量。因此,藉由將調整體20配置於多孔性構件之內表面側之與欲使纖維堆積之成形體材料之基重較其他部位小之部位對應之區域,能以簡易之設備製造所需部位之基重減少之成形體。即,由於集聚用凹部22之除中高用凹部23以外之區域之內表面側配置有調整體20,故而成為低基重纖維堆積區域,由於在集聚用凹部22中之中高用凹部23之內表面側未配置調整體20,故而成為高基重纖維堆積區域。 若進而對本實施形態之製造裝置1進行說明,則如圖1所示,於轉筒2之內側(旋轉軸側)形成有在轉筒2之圓周方向(2X方向)上相互間被隔開之空間B、C及D。於空間B連接有吸氣風扇等公知之排氣裝置(未圖示),藉由使該排氣裝置作動,能夠將該空間B維持為負壓。於空間C,藉由來自下述真空箱11側之吸引而流入有外部之空氣,於空間D,藉由來自傳料輥5側之吸引而流入有外部之空氣。為了良好地進行空間C上之轉印(集聚用凹部22內之纖維堆積物向傳料輥5等之轉印),空間C與成為轉印後之區域之空間D被隔開。轉筒2亦可於與集聚用凹部22內之纖維堆積物向傳料輥5之轉印位置對應之空間(空間C)內具有自該轉筒2之內部朝向多孔性板27之吹氣(空氣流)之產生手段。於此情形時,藉由使用該產生手段自空間C朝向真空箱11積極地進行吹氣,可促進纖維堆積物自集聚用凹部22之脫模。再者,轉筒2之旋轉軸之軸長方向之一端被與轉筒2一體地旋轉之板封阻,另一端被不旋轉之板氣密地封阻。又,上述空間B~D彼此間由自轉筒2之旋轉軸側朝向轉筒2之內表面設置之板隔開。 再者,圖1所示之空間C通常設定為較空間B更弱之負壓或壓力零(大氣壓)。於將集聚用凹部22內之纖維堆積物轉印至傳料輥5上之前,就該纖維堆積物之搬送性之觀點而言,較佳為將空間C設為弱負壓,而使該纖維堆積物吸引保持於集聚用凹部22內,但若搬送性無特別問題而考慮轉印性,則空間C較佳為壓力零。又,空間D係集聚用凹部22內之纖維堆積物轉印至傳料輥5上之後供該集聚用凹部22通過之區域,因此,較佳為壓力零或正壓。 以如上方式構成之具有轉筒2及導管4之本實施形態之圖1所示之製造裝置1係如下裝置,即,於纖維堆積區域PT中,藉由一對間隔板41、41而使飛散狀態之成形體材料以溢出之方式過剩地纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22中之與一對間隔板41、41彼此之間對應之區域,並於再次纖維堆積區域RPT,利用刮擦輥42刮取纖維堆積之過剩量之該成形體材料,並利用刮擦引導部43將所刮取之該成形體材料於轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)大致等分量地分離,而使其再次纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22中之已過剩地纖維堆積之部分之兩側部。以下,對於製造裝置1除轉筒2及導管4以外所具有之傳料輥5、真空輸送機6、切斷裝置7等進行說明。 如圖1所示,傳料輥5包含具有透氣性之圓筒狀之外周部,且受到來自馬達等原動機之動力,其外周部繞著水平軸旋轉。於傳料輥5之內側(旋轉軸側)之非旋轉部分形成有內部能夠減壓之空間E。於空間E連接有吸氣風扇等公知之排氣裝置(未圖示),且藉由使該排氣裝置作動能夠將該空間E內維持為負壓。 於傳料輥5之外周面形成有複數個(多個)將內外連通之吸引孔。該等吸引孔於通過被維持為負壓之空間E上之期間,將空氣自外部吸入至內部,藉由其吸引力,集聚用凹部22內之纖維堆積物自轉筒2上向傳料輥5上順利地移行。 如圖1所示,真空輸送機6具備架設於驅動輥61及從動輥62、62之環狀之透氣性皮帶63、及配置於隔著透氣性皮帶63而與傳料輥5對向之位置之輸送機用真空箱64。 網帶13側之真空箱11呈具有上下面、左右之兩側面及背面之箱狀之形狀,且具有朝向轉筒2方向開口之開口部。真空箱11經由未圖示之排氣管等而連接有吸氣風扇等公知之排氣裝置(未圖示),藉由該排氣裝置之作動,能夠將真空箱11內維持為負壓。 如圖1所示,網帶13係將具有網眼之帶狀之透氣性皮帶連結為環狀者,且被複數個自由輥14及傳料輥5引導而於特定之路徑連續地移動。網帶13藉由傳料輥5之旋轉而被驅動。如圖1所示,網帶13以如下方式配置,即,於導管4之配置有刮擦輥42之側之端部附近被導入至轉筒2之外周面上之後,依序通過真空箱11與轉筒2之間及傳料輥5與轉筒2之間。網帶13通過真空箱11之開口部之前之期間與轉筒2之外周面接觸,且於傳料輥5與轉筒2之最接近部附近離開轉筒2之外周面而向傳料輥5上移行。網帶13具有較傳料輥5之上述吸引孔小之細孔,伴隨著來自傳料輥5之吸引孔之吸引,亦進行來自與該吸引孔重疊之網帶13之細孔之吸引。 如圖1所示,擋風板15係隔著傳料輥5之外周面之寬度方向上之形成有上述吸引孔之區域而在該區域之兩側設置一對,防止或減輕風自側方之流入,從而防止自集聚用凹部22脫模之纖維堆積物之變形等。擋風板15之材質並無特別限制,但就使其具有可抵抗風之剛性之觀點而言,較佳為金屬或合成樹脂製,且具有0.5~10 mm左右之厚度。 作為切斷裝置7,例如可無特別限制地使用於經期衛生棉、尿布等吸收性物品之製造中先前用於吸收體連續體之切斷者等。圖1所示之切斷裝置7包括周面具備切斷刀71之切刀輥72、及承受切斷刀之周面平滑之砧輥73。 其次,對使用上述圖1所示之製造裝置1連續地製造吸收體之方法、即本發明之吸收體之製造方法之一實施態樣進行說明。 本實施態樣之製造方法係對外周面21具有集聚用凹部22之轉筒2以飛散狀態供給成形體材料,並使該成形體材料纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22而製造吸收體。具體而言,本實施態樣之製造方法包括:纖維堆積步驟,其係朝向轉筒2之外周面21以飛散狀態供給成形體材料,並使該成形體材料纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22;及再次纖維堆積步驟,其係於纖維堆積步驟之後,使用與上述轉筒之上述外周面對向配置之刮擦輥42刮取過剩地纖維堆積之成形體材料,並使所刮取之成形體材料再次纖維堆積。 於實施上述纖維堆積步驟之前,首先對於轉筒2內之空間B、傳料輥5內之空間E、及真空箱11內,使連接於其等之排氣裝置作動而成為負壓。藉由將空間B內設為負壓,而於導管4內產生將吸收體原料搬送至轉筒2之外周面21之空氣流(真空空氣)。又,使轉筒2及傳料輥5旋轉,使真空輸送機6作動。 而且,若使上述成形體材料導入裝置(未圖示)作動而將作為吸收體原料之成形體材料供給至導管4內,則該成形體材料伴隨於導管4內流動之空氣流成為飛散狀態而朝向轉筒2之外周面21被供給,並纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22(纖維堆積步驟)。較佳為,轉筒2之各個集聚用凹部22於通過被維持為負壓之空間B上之期間,經由構成集聚用凹部22之底面22a、23a之多孔性板27及中高用多孔性板25而進行來自吸引部之吸引。藉由來自各集聚用凹部22之多孔性材料之細孔之吸引,而使導管4內產生將吸收體之原料搬送至轉筒2之外周面之空氣流,並使伴隨該空氣流而搬送來之原料堆積於各集聚用凹部22內。 於纖維堆積步驟中,於導管4之內部之纖維堆積區域PT,使用一對間隔板41、41將飛散狀態之成形體材料以溢出之方式過剩地纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22中之與一對間隔板41、41彼此之間對應之區域。具體而言,如圖1、圖2、圖4所示,於導管4之內部,在沿著轉筒2之圓周方向(2X方向)之兩側部設置有一對間隔板41、41,因此,使飛散狀態之成形體材料集中集聚於集聚用凹部22中之與一對間隔板41、41彼此之間對應之區域。於製造裝置1中,於配置於集聚用凹部22之中央區域之中高用凹部23之中高用多孔性板25之內表面未配置調整體20。而且,於配置於除中高用多孔性板25以外之集聚用凹部22之區域之多孔性板27之內表面配置有調整體20。因此,經由中高用多孔性板25而吸引成形體材料之空氣流未被抑制,經由多孔性板27而吸引成形體材料之空氣流被抑制。因此,於本實施態樣中,可進而集中地使飛散狀態之成形體材料集聚於一對間隔板41、41彼此之間的中高用凹部23所處之區域上。 進而,於製造裝置1中,一對間隔板41、41之彼此之對向面自導管4之另一端側之成形體材料導入裝置(未圖示)側朝向轉筒2以彼此之間隔逐漸變窄之方式傾斜,一對間隔板41、41之轉筒2側之端部41a、41a彼此之間隔與集聚用凹部22中央區域之中高用凹部23之寬度一致。因此,於本實施態樣之纖維堆積步驟中,可進而集中地使飛散狀態之成形體材料集聚於一對間隔板41、41彼此之間的中高用凹部23所處之區域上。此處,若按照中高用凹部23之寬度(欲形成之吸收體3之中高部之寬度)設定一對間隔板41、41之端部41a、41a之間隔,則可加工基重比較高之吸收體。例如,於加工下述圖10所示之吸收體之情形時,可藉由使厚壁部(中高部)33之於寬度方向較細之部分之寬度與間隔板之端部41a、41a配合而加工基重比更高之吸收體3。 再者,於中高用凹部23所處之區域,在轉筒2之圓周方向(2X方向)間斷地配置有中高用凹部23,因此,配置有中高用凹部23之部分較除中高用凹部23以外之集聚用凹部22更深。因此,如圖2所示,於與一對間隔板41、41彼此之間對應之區域上,在轉筒2之圓周方向(2X方向)上,纖維堆積於與配置有中高用凹部23之部分對應之區域之成形體材料的高度較纖維堆積於與除中高用凹部23以外之部分對應之區域之成形體材料的高度更低。 繼而,於上述纖維堆積步驟之後,刮取過剩地纖維堆積之成形體材料,並將所刮取之該成形體材料再次纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22中之已過剩地纖維堆積之部分之兩側部(再次纖維堆積步驟)。詳細而言,於導管4之內部之自間隔板41起至下游側之再次纖維堆積區域RPT,如圖1、圖2所示具備:刮擦輥42,其刮取纖維堆積之過剩量之成形體材料;及刮擦引導部43,其配置於自刮擦輥42向轉筒2之旋轉方向(R2方向)上游側離開之位置且將利用刮擦輥42刮取之飛散狀態之成形體材料於轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)分離。因此,於再次纖維堆積步驟中,如圖8所示,首先,使用刮擦輥42刮取過剩地纖維堆積之成形體材料。如上所述,於本實施態樣中,於與一對間隔板41、41彼此之間對應之區域,在轉筒2之圓周方向(2X方向)上,纖維堆積於與配置有中高用凹部23之部分對應之區域之成形體材料的高度較纖維堆積於與除中高用凹部23以外之部分對應之區域之成形體材料的高度更低,因此使用刮擦輥42刮取過剩地纖維堆積之成形體材料,該成形體材料過剩地纖維堆積於與一對間隔板41、41彼此之間對應之區域中的纖維堆積之成形體材料之高度相對較高且與除中高用凹部23以外之部分對應之區域。即,難以利用刮擦輥42刮取纖維堆積於與一對間隔板41、41彼此之間對應之區域中的纖維堆積之成形體材料之高度相對較低且與配置有中高用凹部23之部分對應之區域的成形體材料。 如圖8、圖9所示,利用刮擦輥42刮取之成形體材料於導管4內之再次纖維堆積區域RPT以飛散狀態返回至上游側,藉由配置於自刮擦輥42向轉筒2之旋轉方向上游側離開之位置之刮擦引導部43而將飛散狀態之成形體材料於轉筒2之轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)分離,並再次纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22中之已過剩地纖維堆積之部分之兩側部。於刮擦輥42之上游側之集聚用凹部22中,成為過剩量之成形體材料尚未被刮擦輥42刮取之狀態。因此,相較於過剩地纖維堆積之部分,於過剩地纖維堆積之部分之沿轉筒2之圓周方向(2X方向)之兩側部,纖維堆積之成形體材料之量較少,不易因纖維堆積之成形體材料而阻礙吸引力。因此,相較於集聚用凹部22中之已過剩地纖維堆積之部分,更易將由刮擦引導部43分離之成形體材料再次纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22中之已過剩地纖維堆積之部分之兩側部。再者,此時,如圖4所示,藉由將與集聚用凹部22之兩側部對應之吸引調整板24之開口部245設為較其以外之開口部245大,集聚用凹部22之兩側部進而抑制成形體材料對吸引力之阻礙,由刮擦引導部43分離之成形體材料更易於再次纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22之兩側部。 於製造裝置1中,如圖9所示,刮擦引導部43具有平面觀察時朝向轉筒2之旋轉方向下游側(刮擦輥42側)凸出之頂部431。因此,能夠利用刮擦引導部43將由刮擦輥42刮取之成形體材料分離,從而可再次纖維堆積於非常接近之集聚用凹部22中之上述兩側部,因此,不會產生吸收體重量(基重)之偏差或已刮取至再次纖維堆積區域之成形體材料不會溢出,從而可穩定地製造具備所需高度之厚壁部(中高部)及薄壁部(中高部之周圍部)之吸收體。再者,由於由刮擦輥42刮取之成形體材料之一部分與刮擦引導部43之頂部431碰撞之後,朝向刮擦引導部43之兩側壁被分離,因此,就防止紙漿鉤掛於頂部431之觀點而言,頂部431較佳為銳角或曲率半徑為10 mm以下之微小曲面。進而較佳為如下構造,即,於頂部431以與刮擦輥42對向之朝向設置微細之空氣噴射口,對準由刮擦輥42刮取並朝向頂部431飛散而來之成形體材料噴射空氣。藉此,可確實地防止成形體材料鉤掛於頂部431。 又,於製造裝置1中,如圖9所示,刮擦引導部43於平面觀察時其寬度自轉筒2之旋轉方向(R2方向)上游側朝向下游側(頂部431側)逐漸減小。因此,可將由刮擦輥42刮取之成形體材料利用頂部431分離之後,確實地引導至非常接近之集聚用凹部22中之上述兩側部而再次纖維堆積,因此,可不產生吸收體重量(基重)之偏差或已刮取至再次纖維堆積區域之紙漿不會溢出,而更穩定地製造具備所需高度之厚壁部及薄壁部之吸收體。 又,於製造裝置1中,如圖8所示,於導管4之內部具有自該導管4之頂面下垂之下垂板44。而且,於由下垂板44分割之導管4之內部之再次纖維堆積區域RPT配置有刮擦輥42及刮擦引導部43。因此,由刮擦輥42刮取並以飛散狀態返回至上游側然後由刮擦引導部43分離之成形體材料藉由下垂板44而返回至上游側之鄰接之附近。如此,相較於集聚用凹部22中之已過剩地纖維堆積之部分,所刮取之成形體材料更易於再次纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22中之已過剩地纖維堆積之部分之兩側部。尤其是,於本實施形態中,如圖8所示,下垂板44自導管4之頂面朝向轉筒2之旋轉方向(R2方向)形成為圓弧狀之R形狀,因此,所刮取之成形體材料被下垂板44引導而容易穩定地再次纖維堆積。 又,於製造裝置1中,如圖8所示,刮擦引導部43固定於下垂板44。因此,容易將由刮擦引導部43分離之成形體材料沿著下垂板44之曲面及刮擦引導部43之逐漸減小之側壁43s而確實且穩定地再次纖維堆積於上游側之鄰接之集聚用凹部22中之上述兩側部。 又,於製造裝置1中,如圖9所示,構成刮擦輥42之複數個突起422僅配置於輥本體421之外周面中之與纖維堆積於一對環板29、29彼此之間之區域之過剩量之成形體材料對應的區域。具體而言,刮擦輥42於平面觀察下,配置有複數個突起422之區域421T配置於在轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)上與集聚用凹部22中之中高用凹部23(第2區域)重疊之位置,未配置突起422之區域配置於在轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)上與集聚用凹部22中之中高用凹部23以外之區域(第1區域)重疊之位置。因此,可僅集中地刮取配置有中高用凹部23之集聚用凹部22之中央區域過剩地纖維堆積有成形體材料之部分,且不會刮取再次纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22中之上述兩側部之成形體材料。亦即,製造裝置1之刮擦輥42成為不會刮取必要部分以外之成形體材料之構成。例如,於再次纖維堆積前之狀態下,纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22之兩側部之成形體材料為過少之狀態,相應地,集聚用凹部22之中央區域之中高部以外之部分成為過剩地纖維堆積之狀態。刮擦輥42刮取該過剩量並再次纖維堆積於過少狀態之集聚用凹部22之兩側部,再次纖維堆積之該兩側部之成形體材料不會被刮取。尤其是,再次纖維堆積之成形體材料由於基本無在堆積於集聚用凹部22之後向集聚用凹部22內被吸引壓縮之時間,因此,相較於自纖維堆積區域PT始終被吸引壓縮至集聚用凹部22內之成形體材料更容易膨出,而成為容易被刮取之狀態,但藉由上述構成,被再次纖維堆積於再次纖維堆積區域RPT之堆載於集聚用凹部22之兩側部之成形體材料不會被刮擦輥42刮取。藉此,可不產生吸收體重量(基重)之偏差或已刮取至再次纖維堆積區域之紙漿不會溢出,而進而穩定地製造具備所需高度之厚壁部及薄壁部之吸收體。 如此,於再次纖維堆積步驟中,僅成形體材料過剩地纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22之中央區域之部分由刮擦輥42刮取,所刮取之成形體材料再次纖維堆積於位於轉筒2之旋轉方向上游側之過少地纖維堆積之集聚用凹部22之兩側部,藉此,將成形體材料之高度調整為固定之高度。於製造裝置1中,藉由刮擦輥42刮取纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22之成形體材料,並將所刮取之成形體材料調整為至刮擦輥42之突起422之高度、即於本實施形態中調整為環板29之外表面29a之高度。此時,若改變突起422之高度(例如摩損間隙(scuffing clearance)),則可調整為任意之中高部之高度(基重),但於此情形時,中高部以外之部分(例如,圓周方向上之中高部以外之部分)之高度亦變化。因此,例如於僅欲調整中高部之高度(基重)之情形時,只要使中高部之凹部之深度更深或使中高部以外之集聚用凹部變淺即可。 如此,如圖1所示,使成形體材料纖維堆積於集聚用凹部22內而獲得纖維堆積物32之後,進而使轉筒2旋轉。然後,當集聚用凹部22內之纖維堆積物32來到真空箱11之對向位置時,藉由來自真空箱11之吸引,成為吸附於網帶13之狀態,於該狀態下,被搬送至傳料輥5與轉筒2之最接近部或其附近。然後,吸附於網帶13之狀態之纖維堆積物32藉由來自傳料輥5側之吸引而自集聚用凹部22脫模,且與網帶13一同被轉印至傳料輥5上。 於圖10示出有剛自本實施形態之集聚用凹部22脫模後之纖維堆積物32。纖維堆積物32如圖10所示般,與集聚用凹部22之中央區域之深度較深之中高用凹部23(第2區域)對應之部分成為高度較高之厚壁部33,與除中高用凹部23以外之集聚用凹部22對應之部分(第1區域)成為高度較低之薄壁部34。具體而言,厚壁部33之高度係由配置於中高用多孔性板25上之空間板26之厚度、凹部劃分板28之厚度、及環板29之厚度形成。又,薄壁部34係由配置於多孔性板27上之凹部劃分板28之厚度及環板29之厚度形成。 若進而詳細地進行敍述,則如圖10所示,厚壁部33藉由在由配置於中高用多孔性板25上之空間板26之環狀劃分形成構件261包圍之區域呈格子狀交叉的MD劃分形成構件262及CD劃分形成構件263而被分割(參照圖6),具有分割厚壁部331。又,薄壁部34藉由在配置於多孔性板27上之凹部劃分板28之除十字狀之開口部281以外之開口部劃分形成部284呈格子狀交叉的MD劃分形成構件285及CD劃分形成構件286而被分割(參照圖6),具有分割薄壁部341。 再者,於製造裝置1中,於配置於集聚用凹部22之中央區域之中高用凹部23之中高用多孔性板25之內表面未配置調整體20,而且,於配置於除中高用多孔性板25以外之集聚用凹部22之區域之多孔性板27之內表面配置有調整體20。除此以外,於纖維堆積區域,藉由一對間隔板41、41而對集聚用凹部22內之包含中高用凹部23之圓周方向集中供給成形體材料。因此,使用製造裝置1獲得之圖10所示之纖維堆積物32之厚壁部33成為吸收體原料之纖維堆積量相對較多之高基重部,薄壁部34成為吸收體原料之纖維堆積量相對較少之低基重部。又,纖維堆積物32之底面之全域藉由刮擦輥42而變得大致平坦。 如圖1所示,轉印至傳料輥5上之纖維堆積物32一面受到來自傳料輥5側之吸引一面被搬送,並被向導入至配置於傳料輥5之下方之真空輸送機6上之由衛生紙或透液性之不織布等構成之包芯片材37上傳送。其後,如圖1所示,將包芯片材37之沿著搬送方向之兩側部回折,而纖維堆積物32之上下兩面被包芯片材37被覆。然後,被包芯片材37被覆之狀態之纖維堆積物32與包芯片材37一併由切斷裝置7之切刀輥72於相鄰之厚壁部33、33彼此之間之中間位置被切斷。如此,獲得被包芯片材37被覆之吸收體3。 使用圖1所示之製造裝置1獲得之吸收體3係包含厚壁部33及薄壁部34且作為吸收體原料之成形體材料之高度局部不同之吸收體。使用製造裝置1獲得之吸收體3之纖維堆積不均極少,此種吸收體3成為作為用於拋棄式尿布、經期衛生棉、失禁護墊等吸收性物品之吸收體較佳之高品質者。如此,根據本實施形態之製造裝置1及使用其之製造方法,可穩定地製造具備所需高度之厚壁部及薄壁部之吸收體。又,藉由上述調整體20之作用,厚壁部33成為相對較高之基重,薄壁部34成為相對較低之基重。如此,根據本實施形態之製造裝置1及使用其之製造方法,可穩定地製造具備所需基重之厚壁部及薄壁部之吸收體。 本發明並不受上述實施形態及上述實施態樣限制而可適當地進行變更。 例如,於上述製造裝置1中,如圖1所示,於導管4之內部具備一對間隔板41、41,但亦可不具備一對間隔板41、41。 又,於上述製造裝置1中,如圖1所示,於導管4之內部具有自該導管4之頂面下垂之下垂板44,但亦可不具有該下垂板44。於如此般在導管4之內部不具有下垂板44之情形時,刮擦輥42與刮擦引導部43配置於導管4之內部,刮擦引導部43配置於自刮擦輥42向轉筒2之旋轉方向(R2方向)上游側離開之位置即可。 又,於上述製造裝置1中,如圖3所示,構成刮擦輥42之複數個突起422僅配置於輥本體421之外周面中之與纖維堆積於一對環板29、29彼此之間之區域之過剩量之成形體材料對應之區域,但就調整所獲得之吸收體之厚度等之觀點而言,亦可調整輥本體421之外周面中之突起422之位置且調整配置有突起422之區域421T。具體而言,若轉筒2之內部之吸引平衡較差,則應形成於轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)之中央之過剩纖維堆積區域有可能於轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)上分佈不均。於此情形時,較佳為於轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)調整配置有突起422之區域421T之位置。於此情形時,為了使所刮取之成形體材料等分量地分離,較佳為使配置有突起422之區域421T之中央部之位置與刮擦引導部43之頂部432之位置一致,但為了使成形體材料不均等地分離,亦可使配置有突起422之區域421T之中央部之位置與刮擦引導部43之頂部432之位置於轉筒寬度方向(2Y方向)上錯開配置。 又,於上述製造裝置1中,刮擦引導部43如圖3所示般,於平面觀察下,頂部431之位置與刮擦輥42之配置有複數個突起422之區域421T之轉筒2之旋轉軸方向中央部一致,但就調整所獲得之吸收體之厚度等之觀點而言,亦可調整刮擦引導部43之轉筒2之旋轉軸方向之位置且調整頂部431之位置。 又,於上述製造裝置1中,如圖2所示,於集聚用凹部22中之除中高用凹部23以外之多孔性板27(多孔性構件)之轉筒2之內表面側配置有調整吸引力之調整體20,但亦可不將調整吸引力之調整體20配置於任何區域。使用此種轉筒2製造之纖維堆積物32成為具有高度較高之厚壁部33及較低之薄壁部34之不均分佈纖維堆積物。該不均分佈纖維堆積物中之厚壁部成為基重相對較高之高基重部,薄壁部成為基重相對較低之低基重部。 又,所製造之纖維堆積物32之形狀並不限定於上述形狀,亦可藉由吸引調整板24、中高用多孔性板25、空間板26、多孔性板27、凹部劃分板28、一對環板29之更換等而靈活地變更集聚用凹部22之配置或形狀、及中高用凹部23之配置或形狀。又,中高用凹部23中之形成深度較第1區域更深之第2區域之中高用凹部23亦可配置於集聚用凹部22之中央區域以外之區域。 又,如圖6所示,轉筒2使用包含吸引調整板24、中高用多孔性板25、空間板26、多孔性板27、凹部劃分板28、及一對環板29之板,但亦可代替該板而使用例如欲形成高基重部之部分較深地凹陷之一體結構之板。再者,藉由具備包含吸引調整板24、中高用多孔性板25、空間板26、多孔性板27、凹部劃分板28、及一對環板29之板,可精度較佳地製造基重比較高之吸收體。 於本發明中製造之吸收體較佳地用作吸收性物品之吸收體。吸收性物品主要用於吸收保持尿、經血等自身體***之體液。吸收性物品例如包含拋棄式尿布、經期衛生棉、失禁護墊、衛生護墊等,但並不限定於該等,而廣泛包含用於吸收自人體排出之液體之物品。 關於上述實施形態,進而揭示以下吸收體之製造裝置。 <1>

The fiber stacking device described in Patent Document 1 only re-supplies the fiber material scraped by the wiper roller to the upstream side of the duct via another transport path. also, Due to the same attractive force between the recesses for middle and high heights and the recesses for agglomeration, Therefore, the stacking thickness (fiber stacking basis weight) of the pulp is the same as each area of the agglomeration recess, therefore, The outer surface of the fiber accumulation portion corresponding to the middle-high portion recessed portion in the accumulation recess portion is in a state of being recessed compared to the outer surface of the fiber accumulation portion corresponding to the accumulation recess portion other than the middle-high portion recessed portion. therefore, In order to achieve the required base weight After the pulp has to be supplied in excess until the middle and high parts become the required basis weight, Use a scraping roller to scrape out the pulp that is obviously excessively accumulated in the recesses for accumulation other than the middle and high sections. And re-supply again. As a result, The amount of resupply pulp becomes too much, Measurement of resupply pulp amount, It is difficult to predict the resupply amount and control the pulp supply amount (pulp feed amount) from the pulverizer. the result, The following problems exist, which is, The weight of the absorbent body may become unstable.  also, In the fiber stacking device described in Patent Document 2, The following situations exist, which is, To scrape the excess part (central area) of the pulp with a scraping roller, And in the width direction of the recess for agglomeration, When the fibers are stacked again in a region that does not include a recess for medium to high (generally, both side regions), It is not necessary to cause all the scraped pulp to accumulate fibers again in an area that does not include a recess for middle and high use (in general, an area on both sides), A part of the fibers is again accumulated in the area (generally, the central area) including the recesses for middle and high levels. In Patent Document 2, In order to make the scraped pulp as much as possible to the fiber accumulation on both sides, On the inside of both sides of the region, the adjustment body is not arranged in the same way as the inside of the middle and high recessed portions to enhance the attractiveness. But that is not enough. then, There will be pulp that is scraped repeatedly, And the weight of the absorber becomes unstable, The basis weight of the surrounding part becomes uneven, Or it may be filled with pulp repeatedly scraped in the fiber accumulation area again, and it may become a state where the apparatus cannot continuously operate. and then, Since a protrusion for scraping the pulp is formed on the entire surface in the width direction of the wiper roller, Therefore, it is possible to scrape the pulp again, which rarely accumulates fibers in a region that does not include a recessed portion for medium and high use (generally, both side regions), and the efficiency may decrease.  also, In the fiber stacking device described in Patent Document 3, The following problems exist, which is, After the fiber material fibers are deposited in the recesses for the middle and high portions, The fiber material fibers are accumulated in the agglomeration recesses other than the recesses for the middle and high parts, But because there is no control mechanism for pulp supply, And simply use a scraping roller or the like to remove the pulp in the accumulation recess other than the middle-high recess, and remove the pulp. therefore, The pulp gradually accumulates in the first forming chamber, It is not possible to perform continuous processing for a long time. also, There are also the following problems, which is, In the case where the fibers are accumulated in the agglomeration recesses other than the middle-high recesses by using a scraper roller, etc., It is difficult to remove only the other portions by avoiding only the recesses for high-rises arranged intermittently in the circumferential direction of the fiber stacking drum.  therefore, The present invention is to provide an absorber manufacturing device capable of eliminating the disadvantages of the above-mentioned prior art.  the following, The present invention will be described based on a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.  FIG. 1 shows an outline of a manufacturing apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention as a manufacturing apparatus for an absorbent body.

But in manufacturing device 1, As shown in FIG. 3, only a pair of ring plates 29, described below, arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the roller body 421 and the fibers are stacked on the drum 2. 29 Areas corresponding to the excess amount of formed body material in the areas between each other. in this way, In the manufacturing apparatus 1, The roller body 421 constituting the wiper roller 42 has a region 421T in which a plurality of protrusions 422 are arranged at a central portion in the rotation axis direction. The area other than this area 421T is an area where protrusions 422 are not arranged at both ends in the rotation axis direction. which is, Areas where protrusions 422 are not arranged at both ends in the direction of the rotation axis, The protrusions are not present at a longer interval than the interval in the rotation axis direction between the protrusions 422 in the region 421T. As a material for forming the protrusion 422, Use stainless steel, aluminum, Iron and other metals, Or synthetic resin, In the manufacturing apparatus 1, A brush that is a protrusion 422 made of stainless steel is used.  The height of the protrusion 422 constituting the scraping roller 42 can be appropriately set according to the amount of the formed body material to be scraped, But in manufacturing device 1, The height of the protrusion 422 is preferably a height of about 1 mm to 10 mm from the peripheral surface of the roller body 421 of the wiper roller 42, Particularly preferred is a height of about 4 mm to 6 mm.  also, The gap between the top of the protrusion 422 constituting the scraping roller 42 and the recessed portion 22 for aggregating the facing outer peripheral surface 21 can be appropriately set according to the amount of the formed body material to be scraped, But in manufacturing device 1, as shown in picture 2, A gap is set at a position where the top of the protrusion 422 reaches the outer surface 29a of the ring plate 29 described below which forms the outermost surface of the drum 2. Regarding the adjustment of the gap, The height of the protrusion 422 (the amount of protrusion from the roller body 421) can be adjusted, However, it is also possible to adjust the distance from the drum 2 by moving the position of the roller body 421 itself.  The wiper roller 42 is rotated around a horizontal axis by power from a prime mover such as a motor. In the manufacturing apparatus 1, Figure 2 As shown in Figure 3, The wiper roller 42 is rotationally driven in the direction of the arrow R3, The surface opposite to the rotating drum 2 rotates so as to move in a direction opposite to the rotating direction of the rotating drum 2. which is, In the manufacturing apparatus 1, The rotation direction of the wiper roller 42 is the same as that of the rotating drum 2. From the standpoint of the balance between the amount of scraped shaped body material and the fact that the scraped shaped body material is again piled up in the vicinity, The peripheral speed of the scraping roller 42 is preferably 2 times to 10 times the peripheral speed of the drum 2. It is more preferably 3 times or more and 5 times or less. which is, If this makes the peripheral speed of the scraping roller 42 faster than the peripheral speed of the drum 2, The number of times that the protrusion 422 of the scraping roller 42 contacts the excess amount of the formed body material in which the fibers accumulate in the accumulation recess 22 will overflow, Therefore, the excess amount of the molded body material in the accumulation recess 22 except the middle-high recess 23 can be scraped off. Furthermore, The peripheral speed of the scraping roller 42 refers to the peripheral speed on the surface of the roller body 421, The peripheral speed of the drum 2 refers to the peripheral speed on the surface of the ring plate 29 described below that forms the outer peripheral surface 21 of the drum 2.  As shown in Figures 1 to 3, The scraping guide 43 is disposed inside the catheter 4. The scraping guide 43 has a normal direction from the outer peripheral surface 21 of the rotating drum 2 (a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis direction of the rotating drum 2). The outer side faces the scraping roller 42 side, that is, the downstream side of the rotating direction of the rotating drum 2 in plan view. Protruding top 431. As a material for forming the scratch guide 43, Using synthetic resin, Or stainless steel, aluminum, Metals such as iron, In the manufacturing apparatus 1, a scraping guide made of stainless steel is used.  When the scraping guide 43 is viewed from the outer side of the normal direction of the outer peripheral surface 21 of the rotating drum 2, The width can be shortened in stages from the upstream side of the rotation direction (R2 direction) of the drum 2 toward the downstream side of the rotation direction (top 431 side). But in manufacturing device 1, It is gradually reduced as shown in FIG. 3. in particular, The two side walls 43s forming the top portion 431 of the scraping guide portion 43, 43s are respectively erected on the normal direction of the outer peripheral surface 21 of the drum 2, And both side walls are 43s, The interval of 43s gradually decreases from the upstream portion 43f on the upstream side in the rotation direction (R2 direction) of the rotating drum 2 toward the top portion 431 side on the downstream side in the rotation direction. the following, In this manual, Objects such as the scraping guide 43 as viewed in plan when viewed from the outside of the normal direction of the outer peripheral surface of the rotating cylinder 2 are also referred to as planar viewing scraping guide 43.  In the manufacturing apparatus 1, As shown in Figure 3, The position of the top portion 431 of the scraping guide 43 in a plan view coincides with the central portion of the rotating shaft 2 of the drum 2 in the roller body 421 of the scraping roller 42 in the region 421T where a plurality of protrusions 422 are arranged. If the position of the top portion 431 is thus aligned with the center of the drum width direction (2Y direction) of the region 421T where the protrusions 422 are arranged, Then, the formed body material scraped by the scraping roller 42 can be separated approximately equally by the scraping guide portion 43, As a result, the fibers can be deposited again on both sides of the portion of the accumulation recess 22 where the excess fibers have accumulated.  In the manufacturing apparatus 1, As shown in Figure 3, When the scraping guide 43 is viewed in a plane, The width of the upstream portion 43f is formed to be the same as the width of the excess amount of the formed body material in which the fibers are accumulated in the accumulation recess 22 to overflow. which is, The width of the upstream portion 43f of the scraping guide portion 43 is formed to be equal to that of the pair of spacer plates 41, 41 have the same distance between each other. also, In the manufacturing apparatus 1, From the viewpoint of accumulating excess fiber in the molded body material in a region having a wider width than the width of the middle-high recessed portion 23, Preferably under plane observation, A scraper guide 43 is arranged at a position where the scraper guide 43 overlaps with the middle-high recess 23 (second region) in the drum width direction (2Y direction). And, the width of the upstream portion 43f of the scraping guide portion 43 is the same as the width of the middle-high recessed portion 23 or wider than the width of the middle-high recessed portion 23.  In the manufacturing apparatus 1, as shown in picture 2, The bottom surface 43 d of the scraping guide 43 that faces the outer peripheral surface 21 of the drum 2 extends along the outer peripheral surface 21 of the drum 2 in the rotation direction (R2 direction). It is preferable that the position of the bottom surface 43d of the scraping guide 43 is located closer to the normal direction of the outer peripheral surface 21 than the position of the top of the protrusion 422 of the outer peripheral surface 21 of the rotating drum 2 which rotates closer to the top of the protrusion 422 of the outer peripheral surface 21 of the rotating drum Outside side. and, More preferably, The bottom surface 43d of the scraping guide 43 is spaced apart from the outer peripheral surface 21 of the rotating drum 2 and is disposed at a position where it does not contact the top of the molded body material in which an excessive amount of fibers accumulates in the accumulation recess 22 to overflow.  also, In the manufacturing apparatus 1, Figure 1, As shown in Figure 2, The inside of the duct 4 has a drooping plate 44 depending from the top surface of the duct 4. and, The inside of the duct 4 is divided into the fiber accumulation region PT on the upstream side in the rotation direction (R2 direction) of the drum 2 and the fiber accumulation region RPT on the downstream side in the rotation direction (R2 direction) by the drooping plate 44. A scraping roller 42 and a scraping guide 43 are arranged in the fiber accumulation region RPT inside the duct 4 again. Preferably, In the manufacturing apparatus 1, As shown in Figure 3, When the outer side of the outer peripheral surface 21 of the rotating drum 2 is viewed from the normal direction outside, A wiper roller 42 is disposed on the downstream side in the direction of rotation (direction R2) in the fiber accumulation region RPT inside the duct 4. A scraper guide 43 is arranged upstream of the rotation direction (R2 direction), The scraping roller 42 and the scraping guide 43 are arranged apart from each other. Here, The fiber accumulation area PT inside the duct 4 is an area where excessive scattered fibers are accumulated in the formed body material in a scattered state so as to overflow from the accumulation recess 22. also, The so-called re-fiber accumulation area RPT inside the duct 4 is a scrap body 42 that scrapes the excess amount of fiber accumulation from the formed body material. Then, the scraped guide material 43 is used to accumulate the fibers of the scraped formed body material again in the areas on both sides of the excess fiber accumulation portion in the accumulation recess 22.  In the manufacturing apparatus 1, Figure 1, As shown in Figure 3, The drooping plate 44 is formed in a curved shape that protrudes from the top surface of the duct 4 toward the upstream side in the circumferential direction (2X direction) of the drum 2 across the full width of the duct 4. The front end of the drooping plate 44 sags to a position where it does not contact the top of the formed body material in an excessive amount of fiber accumulation in an overflow manner. By disposing such a drooping plate 44, Inside the duct 4, The scraping rollers 42 are spaced.  If such a drooping plate 44 is provided, Then, the fiber accumulation area PT (the area where the defibrated formed body material fibers are deposited on the surface of the drum 2) and the re-fiber accumulation area RPT (the area where the formed body material scraped by the scraping roller 42 is accumulated again) Divided In the re-fiber accumulation area RPT, the formed body material scraped by the scraping roller 42 is accumulated by fibers only in the re-fiber accumulation area RPT. in this way, The formed material scraped in the fiber accumulation region RPT will not reach the fiber accumulation region PT. therefore, It is not easy to hinder the fiber accumulation of the formed body material in the fiber accumulation region PT.  also, Without the drooping plate 44, Then, the position of the scraped formed body material and the accumulation of fibers in the accumulation recess 22 will be uneven. The basis weight of the part where the fibers are piled up again occasionally and the part where the fibers are not piled up again is likely to cause unevenness. However, by providing the down-side plate 44 formed in a curved shape, The formed body material scraped by the scraping roller 42 flows along the curved surface of the drooping plate 44, And the fibers are accumulated again in the accumulation recess 22 (both sides of the excess fiber accumulation portion in the accumulation recess 22), therefore, The fiber accumulation position is more stable again, In addition, the basis weight of the fibers deposited on both sides of the accumulation recess 22 is relatively stable.  In the manufacturing apparatus 1, Figure 1, As shown in Figure 2, The scraping guide 43 is fixed to the hanging plate 44. Preferably, A scraper guide 43 is disposed at a position away from the wiper roller 42 on the upstream side in the rotation direction (R2 direction). The top surface 43u of the scraping guide portion 43 is formed into a curved shape that protrudes along the pendant plate 44 toward the upstream side in the circumferential direction (2X direction) of the drum 2. and, The top surface 43 u side of the scraping guide portion 43 is fixed to the inner surface of the drooping plate 44.  also, In the manufacturing apparatus 1, Figure 1, As shown in Figure 4, The inside of the duct 4 has a pair of spaces arranged on the both sides of the rotation direction (2X direction) of the drum 2 at a position away from the wiper guide 43 toward the upstream side of the rotation direction (R2 direction) of the drum 2. Plate 41, 41. In the manufacturing apparatus 1, A pair of spacer plates 41, 41 is arranged in the fiber accumulation area PT on the upstream side in the rotation direction (R2 direction) in the inside of the duct 4 divided by the drooping plate 44. A pair of spacer plates 41, 41 is a pair of spacer plates 41, in which excess amount of fibers are accumulated in the accumulation recess 22 so that the formed body material supplied in a scattered state supplied from the duct 4 overflows from the accumulation recess 22. 41 areas corresponding to each other, In this way, a pair of spacer plates 41, 41 are arranged at intervals.  In the manufacturing apparatus 1, As shown in Figure 1, A pair of spacer plates 41, 41 extends along both sides in the circumferential direction (2X direction) of the drum 2. also, A pair of spacer plates 41, 41 inside the duct 4, A pair of ring plates 29, described below, which is arranged between the drum 2 and a molded material introduction device (not shown) on the other end side of the duct 4 and forms the outer peripheral surface 21 of the drum 2. 29 on, Further, it extends in the circumferential direction (2X direction) along the ring plate 29. also, Each spacer 41 is in the drum width direction (2Y direction). When viewed in cross section as shown in Figure 4, Each side wall 40 constituting the duct 4 extends over a ring plate 29 described below to a position covering a side portion in the circumferential direction (2X direction) of the gathering recessed portion 22 arranged in the drum 2. If we go into more detail, Then, each of the spacer plates 41 extends from each side wall 40 constituting the duct 4 over the ring plate 29 described below to a position along the circumferential direction (2X direction) of the high recessed portion 23 in the central region of the central recessed portion 22 of the rotating barrel 2 arranged. Near the edge. If a pair of spacer plates 41, 41 extends to the above position, It can also be a plate-shaped partition plate extending parallel to the drum width direction (2Y direction), However, it is preferable to have a surface that is inclined so that the interval between them gradually narrows toward the drum 2 from the side of the molded material introduction device (not shown) on the other end side of the duct 4. As long as a pair of spacer plates 41, 41 is the form with such an inclined surface, As a result, the formed body material is less likely to accumulate on the partition plate 41.  As a person having the above-mentioned inclined surface, In the manufacturing apparatus 1, Each partition plate 41 is shown in Fig. 1 As shown in Figure 4, Becomes a cross section with a substantially right triangle, Or the shape of a quadrangular frustum with a trapezoidal cross section with a very narrow upper and lower base. A pair of spacer plates 41 of this quadrangular truncated cone shape, 41 are separated from each other in the drum width direction (2Y direction), In addition, the opposite surfaces are inclined from the side of the molding material introduction device (not shown) on the other end side of the duct 4 toward the drum 2 so as to gradually narrow the interval between them. And a pair of spacer plates 41, 41 41a side of the drum 2 side, The interval between 41a is the same as the width of the high recessed portion 23 in the central region of the concentration recessed portion 22. also, As shown in Figure 4, A pair of spacer plates 41, 41 is closest to the lower end of the drum 2 41d, When 41d is viewed in the section of the rotation axis direction of the drum 2, It extends from the side wall which comprises the duct 4 to the position which covers the side part in the circumferential direction (2X direction) in the accumulation recessed part 22. which is, Each partition plate 41 is formed in contact with a side wall constituting the duct 4. As a material for forming such a spacer 41, Can use metal or synthetic resin, Or a combination of materials.  In the manufacturing apparatus 1, As shown in Figure 1, The drum 2 is formed into a cylindrical shape, It is also rotated around the horizontal axis by motive power from a prime mover such as a motor. As shown in Figure 5, The outer peripheral surface 21 of the drum 2 is provided with an accumulation recess 22 for accumulating fibers of a molded body material. and then, The middle-high-recess recess 23 has a central region in the drum width direction (2Y direction) of the reel 2 arranged in the concentration recess 22 and is deeper than the concentration recess 22. A plurality of recesses 22 for gathering including the recesses 23 for middle and high heights are formed in the circumferential direction (2X direction) of the drum 2 at a specific interval. In Figure 5, 2X direction is the circumferential direction of drum 2. The 2Y direction is the width direction of the drum 2 (direction parallel to the rotation axis of the drum 2).  As shown in Figure 6, Drum 2 has: Cylindrical drum body (not shown), It consists of a rigid body made of metal; Suction adjustment plate 24, It is overlapped and fixed on the outer periphery of the drum body; Porous plate 25 (porous member) for medium to high use, It overlaps and is fixed on the outer surface 24a side of the suction adjustment plate 24; Space plate 26, It is fixed on the outer surface 25a side of the middle-to-high porous plate 25; Porous plate 27 (porous member), It overlaps and is fixed on the outer surface 26a side of the space plate 26; Recessed dividing plate 28, It is superimposed on the outer surface 27a of the porous plate 27 and fixed; And ring plate 29, It is fixed on the outer surface 28 a side of the recessed partition plate 28. The drum 2 is formed by fixing the drum body and the plates 24 to 29 to each other by a known fixing means such as a bolt or an adhesive. Here, As shown in Figure 5, As shown in Figure 6, The bottom surface 23a of the high-recess recess 23 as the material-to-be-stacked surface of the formed body material is composed of a high-recovery porous plate 25 (porous member) having a plurality of (multiple) suction holes. also, The bottom surface 22a of the recessed portion 22 for the accumulation of the fiber-to-be-accumulated surface of the formed body material, Specifically, the bottom surface 22 a of the accumulation recessed portion 22 except for the middle-high recessed portion 23 is composed of a porous plate 27.  Furthermore, In this manual, Components of the drum 2 (suction adjustment plate 24, Porous plates for high and medium use 25, Space board 26, Porous plate 27, Recessed partition plate 28, The outer surface of the ring plate 29, etc.) is the surface of the constituent member that faces the supply side of the formed body material when the formed body material is deposited on the fiber. also, The inner surface of each of the constituent members is a surface of the constituent member facing the opposite side (the inner side of the drum) from the supply side of the formed material when the fiber is deposited on the formed body material. When the molded article manufactured by the manufacturing apparatus 1 is an absorbent article for absorbent articles such as disposable diapers or menstrual napkins, The molded body material is an absorbent raw material.  The formed body material is a material containing a fibrous material. The shaped body material used as the raw material of the absorbent body can be used without particular limitation in the previously used menstrual cotton or sanitary pads, Various molded body materials for absorbent bodies of absorbent articles such as disposable diapers. E.g, Using pulp fibers such as defibrillated pulp, 嫘 萦 fiber, Short fibers of cellulose fibers such as cotton fibers or short fibers of synthetic fibers such as polyethylene. These fiber materials can be used individually by 1 type or in combination of 2 or more types. also, As an absorbent material, A fiber material and a water-absorbing polymer may be used together. also, As the fibrous raw material, a fibrous water-absorbing polymer may be used alone or in combination with the fibrous material. and then, If necessary, a fiber material, etc., and a deodorant or antibacterial agent may also be used together.  As shown in Figure 6, The ring plate 29 is a member whose outer surface 29a is located at the outermost side of the drum 2 and forms a part of the outer peripheral surface 21, It is also a member which forms the outer peripheral surface of the accumulation recessed part 22. Here, The “outer peripheral surface of the accumulation recessed portion 22” means the outer surface along the contour of the accumulation recessed portion 22 when the accumulation recessed portion 22 is viewed from the outside of the normal direction of the outer peripheral surface 21 of the rotating drum 2. In the manufacturing apparatus 1, When the concave portion 22 for agglomeration is viewed from a plane, The collecting recess 22 has a rectangular shape with a long shape in the conveying direction. therefore, 1 pair of ring plates 29, 29 is arranged on both sides of the drum 2, And each ring plate 29 is formed by extending the same width throughout the entire circumference of the drum 2. also, The thickness of each ring plate 29 is fixed.  In the ring plate 29 formed as above, 1 pair of ring plates 29, 29 determine the width of the recesses 22 for agglomeration, The thickness of the ring plate 29 is one of the factors determining the depth of the recessed portion 22 for accumulation. 1 pair of ring plates 29, Except for the part in between, it is impervious to air. Here, The so-called "impermeable" Contains two meanings: "non-breathability that does not allow air to pass through at all" and "difficult to breathability that allows a small amount of air to pass through but does not substantially allow air to pass through", Means substantially impermeable. As the ring plate 29, For example, a plate formed by machining a metal or resin plate such as stainless steel or aluminum to form an opening (a space portion having a shape corresponding to the three-dimensional shape in the recess 22), Or use a mold to integrally form the plate with the opening, Or perforated, Etched board, Those plates are overlapped.  As shown in Figure 6, The concave portion dividing plate 28 has a plurality of cross-shaped openings 281 penetrating in the thickness direction. The cross-shaped opening forming member 282 that divides and forms each cross-shaped opening 281, A plurality of openings 283 penetrating in the thickness direction, And an opening portion dividing formation portion 284 that divides and forms each opening portion 283. A plurality of cross-shaped openings 281 are intermittently arranged in the circumferential direction (2X direction).

The thicknesses of the cross-shaped opening division forming members 282 and the grid-shaped opening division forming portions 284 constituting the concave portion dividing plate 28 are formed to be constant. Similarly to the thickness of the ring plate 29, the thickness of the recessed partition plate 28 becomes one of the factors determining the depth of the recessed portion 22 for accumulation.  As shown in Figure 6, The porous plate 27 has a plurality of cross-shaped openings 271. The cross-shaped openings 271 of the porous plate 27 are disposed at the same positions as the cross-shaped openings 281 of the recessed portion dividing plate 28 which is fixed and overlapped on the outer surface 27 a of the porous plate 27. The plurality of cross-shaped openings 271 of the porous plate 27 and the plurality of cross-shaped openings 281 of the recessed partition plate 28 correspond one-to-one, And there is a relationship that the shapes observed in a plane are similar to each other.

The annular partition forming members 261 constituting the space plate 26, The thicknesses of the MD division forming member 262 and the CD division forming member 263 are fixed. The thickness of the space plate 26 is one of the factors determining the depth of the high recessed portion 23 in the central region of the recessed portion 22 for accumulation.  The annular partition forming member 261 of the space plate 26, The MD division forming member 262 and the CD division forming member 263 have air-impermeable properties that do not allow air to pass through.

The non-breathable annular partition forming member 261, Materials for forming the MD division forming member 262 and the CD division forming member 263, Available in stainless steel, aluminum, Iron and other metals, Or resin, Or a combination of materials.  As shown in Figure 6, There are a plurality of porous plates 25 for middle and high use, Each is formed into a cross shape. Each of the cruciform middle-high-use porous plates 25 is disposed at the same position as each of the annular partition forming members 261 of the space plate 26 that is fixed to overlap the outer surface 25 a of the middle-high porous plate 25. The outlines of the plurality of cross-shaped middle-high-use porous plates 25 correspond one-to-one to the ring-shaped division forming members 261 of the space plate 26, And there is a relationship that the shapes observed in a plane are similar to each other. In the manufacturing apparatus 1, The similarity ratio of the cross-shaped middle and high-use porous plate 25 to the corresponding annular partition forming member 261 of the corresponding space plate 26 is one. therefore, The cross-shaped middle and high-use porous plate 25 not only has an equal relationship between its outline and the annular division forming member 261, Its overall shape and the openings 271 of the porous plate 27, The cross-shaped openings 281 of the recessed partition plate 28 also have an equal relationship with each other when viewed in plan.  The middle-to-high porous plate 25 is a member that forms the bottom surface 23 a of the middle-to-high recessed portion 23. The porous plate 25 for medium to high use is similar to the porous plate 27 as the following air-permeable plate. which is, The air flow (vacuum air) generated by the suction from the inner side of the manufacturing apparatus 1 (inside of the drum 2) is transferred into the duct 4 covering the drum 2, To hold the formed body material conveyed with the air flow in an impermeable manner, Allow only air to pass through. In the middle and high porous plate 25, A plurality of (multiple) suction holes (thin holes) penetrating the plate 25 in the thickness direction are formed in a uniform distribution, During the period when the middle-high recess 23 in the concentration recess 22 passes through the space in the drum 2 which is maintained at a negative pressure, The suction hole functions as a perforation hole for air flow. As the middle and high porous plate 25, For example, metal or resin mesh panels can be used, Or by etching a metal or resin plate, Those who have perforated to form a plurality of pores.  As shown in Figure 6, The attraction adjustment plate 24 has: Ring-shaped division forming member 241, It is formed along the outline of a cross-shaped middle and high-use porous plate 25 which is fixed on the outer surface 24a of the suction adjustment plate 24 and is fixed; Plural MD division forming members 242, They extend parallel to the conveying direction; And a plurality of CD division forming members 243, These extend parallel to the drum width direction (2Y direction) (extend in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction). The MD division forming member 242 and the CD division forming member 243 not only cross each other, It also intersects with the annular division forming member 241 to form a lattice shape. The suction adjustment plate 24 has a plurality of annular inner openings 244 in a region surrounded by the annular division forming member 241, The annular inner openings 244 are located at the portion of the lattice eye formed by the MD division forming member 242 and the CD division forming member 243 crossing, It penetrates in the thickness direction. A pair of annular inner openings 244 of the suction adjustment plate 24 and a plurality of annular inner openings 264 that are fixed to the space plate 26 on the outer surface 24 a of the suction adjustment plate 24 through the porous plate 25 for intermediate and high use Map one place, And there is a relationship that the shapes observed in a plane are similar to each other. In the manufacturing apparatus 1, The similarity ratio of the annular inner opening portion 244 of the suction adjustment plate 24 to the corresponding annular inner opening portion 264 of the space plate 26 is 1, In addition, the annular inner opening portion 244 and the annular inner opening portion 264 have a relationship in which the shapes viewed in a plane are equal to each other.  As shown in Figure 6, The suction adjustment plate 24 has a plurality of openings 245 in a region other than the annular partition forming member 241, These openings 245 are located at the portion of the lattice eye formed by the MD division forming member 242 and the CD division forming member 243 crossing, It penetrates in the thickness direction. The plurality of openings 245 of the suction adjustment plate 24 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of openings 265 of the space plate 26 which are fixed to the outer surface 24a of the suction adjustment plate 24 through the middle-to-high porous plate 25. And there is a relationship that the shapes observed in a plane are similar to each other. In the manufacturing apparatus 1, The similarity ratio of the opening portion 245 of the suction adjustment plate 24 to the corresponding opening portion 265 of the space plate 26 is less than 1, The relative good is 0. 05 or more and 0. 5 or less. That is, the opening area of the opening portion 245 of the suction adjustment plate 24 is smaller than the opening area of the opening portion 265 of the space plate 26. The ratio (S2 / S1) of the opening area (S2) of the opening portion 245 of the suction adjustment plate 24 to the opening area (S1) of the opening portion 265 of the space plate 26 is preferably 5% or more and 50% or less, and more preferably It is 7% or more and 15% or less. The annular division forming member 241, the MD division forming member 242, and the CD division forming member 243 constituting the suction adjustment plate 24 are formed to have a constant thickness. The ring-shaped partition formation member 241, the MD partition formation member 242, and the CD partition formation member 243 of the suction adjustment plate 24 have non-breathability that does not allow air to pass through. The so-called "impermeable" here is as described above. As the formation materials of the non-breathable annular partition formation member 241, the MD partition formation member 242, and the CD partition formation member 243, metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and iron, resins, or a combination of these materials can be used. The rotating drum 2 is a suction adjusting plate 24, a plurality of middle and high-use porous plates 25, a space plate 26, a porous plate 27, a recessed partition plate 28, and a pair of ring plates 29 by a known fixing means. Formed with each other. In the rotating drum 2 provided in the manufacturing apparatus 1 of this embodiment configured in this manner, as shown in FIG. 5, on the inner surface side of the porous member of the collecting recess 22, the adjusting body 20 that adjusts the attractive force is superposed on This porous member is arranged on the inner surface. The adjusting body 20 has a plurality of openings penetrating through the adjusting body 20 in the thickness direction. In one part of the openings, the openings of the porous members that are relatively far from the concentration recesses 22 are relatively closer to the porous members of the concentration recesses 22. The opening area becomes smaller in the opening portion. The adjusting body 20 for adjusting the attractive force is not disposed on the inner surface side of the porous member of the middle-to-high recessed portion 23, and the opening area on the outer surface side of the suction holes (fine holes) of the porous member is the same as the opening area on the inner surface side. In detail, the opening area of the opening portion arranged on the outer surface side of the porous member of the middle-to-high recessed portion 23 is the same as the opening area of the opening portion arranged on the inner surface side of the porous member. Hereinafter, it demonstrates concretely. As shown in FIG. 5, the high-recessed recesses 23 and the high-recessed recesses 23 formed on the outer peripheral surface 21 of the rotating drum 2 have a contour and a ring-shaped division forming member 241 of the suction adjustment plate 24 and a middle-high porous plate 25. The contour of the space, the annular partition forming member 261 of the space plate 26, the contour of the opening portion 271 of the porous plate 27, and the opening partition forming member 282 of the recessed partition plate 28 coincide with each other and are formed in a cross shape. In addition, the bottom surface 23a of the high recessed portion 23 of the concentration recessed portion 22 is composed of a medium-high porous plate 25 (porous member), and the area inside the high-recessed concave portion 23 is sandwiched when viewed in plan as shown in FIG. 5. The positions and shapes of the plurality of annular inner openings 244 of the suction adjustment plate 24 of the middle-to-high porous plate 25 and the plurality of annular inner openings 264 of the space plate 26 are the same. In this way, only the suction adjusting plate 24 is arranged on the inner side of the rotating drum 2 on the inner side of the drum 2 (the porous member) which is the bottom surface 23 a of the middle and high recessed portion 23. The opening area of the annular inner opening portion 264 of the side space plate 26 is the same as the opening area of the annular inner opening portion 244 of the suction adjustment plate 24 disposed on the inner surface side of the middle-to-high porous plate 25. Therefore, the adjusting body 20 for adjusting the attractive force is not disposed on the inner surface side of the middle-high porous plate 25 in the middle-high recessed portion 23 in the concentration recess 22. As shown in FIG. 4, the depth of the high-recessed recess 23 in the concentration recess 22 is formed by the thickness of the space plate 26 disposed on the middle-high porous plate 25, the thickness of the recessed partition plate 28, and the thickness of the ring plate 29. . When viewed in plan as shown in FIG. 5, the outline of the converging recessed portion 22 formed on the outer peripheral surface 21 of the rotating drum 2 is formed into a band shape by sandwiching a pair of rectangular ring plates 29 and 29. In addition, the bottom surface 22 a of the area other than the middle and high recessed portions 23 of the concentration recesses 22 is composed of a porous plate 27 (a porous member), and when the area other than the middle and high recesses 23 is viewed in plan as shown in FIG. 5. The positions and shapes of the plurality of openings 283 of the recessed division plate 28 and the plurality of openings 265 of the space plate 26 are the same, and openings closer to the centers of the openings 283 and 265 are arranged than the openings. The opening 245 of the suction adjustment plate 24 is narrower in area. That is, the opening area of the opening portion 245 of the suction adjustment plate 24 is smaller than the opening area of each of the opening portion 283 of the recessed portion dividing plate 28 and the opening portion 265 of the space plate 26. In this way, the space plate 26 and the suction adjustment plate 24 are disposed on the inner side of the drum 2 than the porous plate 27 (porous member) of the bottom surface 22 a constituting the area for the concentration recess 22 except for the middle and high recesses 23. The opening area 245 of the suction adjustment plate 24 that is relatively far from the porous plate 27 (the porous member) is smaller than the opening area 265 of the space plate 26 that is relatively close to the porous plate 27 (the porous member). An adjusting body 20 for adjusting the attractive force is disposed on the inner surface side of the porous plate 27 (porous member) in the area other than the middle and high recesses 23 for the collecting recesses 22. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the depth of the accumulation recess 22 (except for the middle-high recess 23) is formed by the thickness of the recessed partition plate 28 and the thickness of the ring plate 29 arranged on the porous plate 27. If the above-mentioned adjusting body 20 is arranged on the inner surface side of the porous plate 27 (porous member) in the area other than the middle-high recessed portion 23 for the accumulation recessed portion 22, the medium-high porosity is higher than that of the middle-high recessed portion 23. When the adjustment body 20 is not disposed on the inner surface side of the plate 25 (porous member), the air flow (vacuum air) that attracts the molded body material through the porous member due to the suction from the device inner side is suppressed. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, an air flow (indicated by an arrow in FIG. 7) flowing inward from the outside of the rotating drum 2 through the porous plate 27 (shown by an arrow in FIG. 7) is in a region of the bottom of the recessed portion 22 where the adjustment body 20 is not arranged, so that The openings 265 of the plate 27, the space plate 26, and the openings 245 of the suction adjustment plate 24 pass through the constituent members of the drum 2 in this order. At this time, regarding the air flow, the opening portion 245 of the suction adjustment plate 24 is located closer to the air flow than the opening portion 245 because of the wind direction below the air flow and substantially functions as the suction portion of the molded body material. Since the opening area 265 of the space plate 26 in the upwind direction is formed to have a small opening area, the air permeability through the porous plate 27 is blocked, and the amount of air flow is suppressed. Furthermore, in the fiber stacking step of sucking the molded body material supplied with the air flow to the accumulation recess 22 and accumulating the fibers, the basis weight of the molded body material depends on the amount of air flowing through the porous member. Therefore, by arranging the adjustment body 20 on the inner surface side of the porous member, the area corresponding to the area where the basis weight of the molded body material to which the fibers are to be deposited is smaller than that of other areas, the required portion can be manufactured with simple equipment. Shaped body with reduced basis weight. That is, since the adjusting body 20 is arranged on the inner surface side of the area other than the middle and high recessed portions 23 of the concentration recess 22, it becomes a low basis weight fiber accumulation area. The inner surface of the middle and high recesses 23 in the concentration recess 22 Since the adjustment body 20 is not arranged on the side, it becomes a high basis weight fiber accumulation area. If the manufacturing apparatus 1 of this embodiment is further described, as shown in FIG. 1, inside of the rotary drum 2 (rotation axis side), there are formed spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction (2X direction) of the rotary drum 2. Spaces B, C, and D. A known exhaust device (not shown) such as an intake fan is connected to the space B. By operating the exhaust device, the space B can be maintained at a negative pressure. In the space C, external air flows in by suction from the vacuum box 11 side described below, and in the space D, external air flows in by suction from the transfer roller 5 side. In order to perform the transfer on the space C well (the transfer of the fiber deposits in the accumulation recess 22 to the transfer roller 5 and the like), the space C is separated from the space D which becomes a region after the transfer. The rotating drum 2 may also have a blowing air (space C) from the inside of the rotating drum 2 toward the porous plate 27 in a space (space C) corresponding to the transfer position of the fiber deposits in the collection recess 22 to the transfer roller 5. Air flow). In this case, by actively blowing air from the space C toward the vacuum box 11 by using the generating means, the demolding of the fiber accumulation from the recessed portion 22 for accumulation can be promoted. Furthermore, one end in the axial length direction of the rotating shaft of the rotating drum 2 is blocked by a plate that rotates integrally with the rotating drum 2, and the other end is hermetically sealed by a non-rotating plate. The spaces B to D are separated from each other by a plate provided on the rotation shaft side of the rotating drum 2 toward the inner surface of the rotating drum 2. Moreover, the space C shown in FIG. 1 is generally set to a negative pressure or zero pressure (atmospheric pressure) which is weaker than the space B. Before transferring the fiber deposits in the accumulation recess 22 to the transfer roller 5, from the viewpoint of the transportability of the fiber deposits, it is preferable to set the space C to a weak negative pressure and make the fibers The deposit is sucked and held in the recessed portion 22 for accumulation. However, if transferability is considered without particular problems in transportability, the space C is preferably zero pressure. In addition, the space D is a region where the fiber accumulation in the accumulation recess 22 is transferred to the transfer roller 5 and passed through the accumulation recess 22. Therefore, the pressure is preferably zero or positive. The manufacturing apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1 having the drum 2 and the duct 4 of the present embodiment configured as described above is a device that is scattered in the fiber stacking region PT by a pair of spacer plates 41 and 41 In the state of the formed body material, excess fibers accumulate in a region corresponding to the pair of spacer plates 41 and 41 in the accumulation recess 22 and are scraped off by the scraper roller 42 in the fiber accumulation region RPT again. The excess amount of the fiber is accumulated in the formed body material, and the scraped guide body 43 is used to separate the formed body material in the drum width direction (2Y direction) into approximately equal parts, so that the fibers are accumulated in the accumulation again. Both sides of the portion in which the excess fibers are accumulated in the recessed portion 22 are used. Hereinafter, the transfer roller 5, the vacuum conveyor 6, the cutting device 7 and the like which the manufacturing apparatus 1 has in addition to the drum 2 and the duct 4 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the transfer roller 5 includes a cylindrical outer peripheral portion having air permeability, and is driven by a prime mover such as a motor. The outer peripheral portion rotates about a horizontal axis. A non-rotating portion on the inner side (rotation axis side) of the transfer roller 5 is formed with a space E which can be decompressed inside. A known exhaust device (not shown) such as a suction fan is connected to the space E, and the space E can be maintained at a negative pressure by operating the exhaust device. A plurality of (a plurality of) suction holes are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the transfer roller 5 to communicate the inside and the outside. While these suction holes pass through the space E maintained at a negative pressure, air is sucked in from the outside to the inside, and the fiber deposits in the collecting recess 22 are transferred from the rotating drum 2 to the transfer roller 5 by the attraction force thereof. On smoothly. As shown in FIG. 1, the vacuum conveyor 6 includes a loop-shaped air-permeable belt 63 mounted on a driving roller 61 and driven rollers 62 and 62, and is disposed to face the transfer roller 5 with the air-permeable belt 63 interposed therebetween. Position of the conveyor with a vacuum box 64. The vacuum box 11 on the side of the mesh belt 13 has a box-like shape having upper and lower sides, left and right side surfaces, and a back surface, and has openings that open toward the drum 2. The vacuum box 11 is connected to a known exhaust device (not shown) such as a suction fan via an exhaust pipe or the like (not shown), and the inside of the vacuum box 11 can be maintained at a negative pressure by the operation of the exhaust device. As shown in FIG. 1, the mesh belt 13 connects a belt-like air-permeable belt having meshes to a loop, and is guided by a plurality of free rollers 14 and a transfer roller 5 to continuously move on a specific path. The mesh belt 13 is driven by the rotation of the transfer roller 5. As shown in FIG. 1, the mesh belt 13 is arranged in such a manner that the vicinity of the end of the side of the duct 4 on which the scraping roller 42 is arranged is introduced into the outer peripheral surface of the drum 2 and then passes through the vacuum box 11 in order. With the drum 2 and between the transfer roller 5 and the drum 2. The mesh belt 13 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rotating drum 2 during the period before passing through the opening of the vacuum box 11, and leaves the outer peripheral surface of the rotating drum 2 near the closest portion between the transfer roller 5 and the rotating drum 2 to the feeding roller 5. Move up. The mesh belt 13 has smaller pores than the above-mentioned suction holes of the transfer roller 5, and along with the suction of the suction holes from the transfer roller 5, the suction of the fine holes of the mesh belt 13 overlapping the suction holes is also performed. As shown in FIG. 1, the windshield 15 is provided with a pair of sides on both sides of the area where the above suction holes are formed in the width direction of the outer peripheral surface of the transfer roller 5 to prevent or reduce wind from the side. This prevents the fiber deposits from being demolded from the agglomeration recesses 22 from being deformed or the like. The material of the windshield 15 is not particularly limited, but it is preferably made of metal or synthetic resin from the viewpoint of having rigidity against wind, and has 0. 5 to 10 mm thickness.  As the cutting device 7, For example, it can be used in menstrual tampons without special restrictions, In the manufacture of absorbent articles such as diapers, those that were previously used for cutting the absorbent continuous body. The cutting device 7 shown in FIG. 1 includes a cutting roller 72 having a cutting blade 71 on its peripheral surface, And an anvil roll 73 that receives a smooth cutting peripheral surface.  Secondly, A method for continuously manufacturing an absorbent body using the manufacturing apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1 described above, That is, one embodiment of the manufacturing method of the absorber of this invention is demonstrated.  The manufacturing method of this embodiment is to supply the formed body material in a scattered state to the rotating drum 2 having the collecting recess 22 on the outer peripheral surface 21, The formed body material fibers are stacked on the accumulation recess 22 to produce an absorbent body. in particular, The manufacturing method of this embodiment includes: Fiber stacking step, It supplies the formed body material in a scattered state toward the outer peripheral surface 21 of the drum 2, The formed body material fibers are accumulated in the accumulation recess 22; And the fiber accumulation step again, It is tied after the fiber stacking step, The scraping roller 42 disposed facing the outer peripheral surface of the rotating drum is used to scrape the formed material of the excess fiber accumulation, And the scraped formed body material was piled up again.  Before performing the above-mentioned fiber stacking step, First, for the space B, Space E, inside the transfer roller 5 And inside the vacuum box 11, The exhaust devices connected to them are operated to a negative pressure. By setting the negative pressure in the space B, An air flow (vacuum air) that transports the absorbent raw material to the outer peripheral surface 21 of the drum 2 is generated in the duct 4. also, Rotate the drum 2 and the transfer roller 5, The vacuum conveyor 6 is operated.  and, When the above-mentioned formed body material introduction device (not shown) is operated to supply the formed body material as an absorber raw material into the duct 4, Then, the formed body material is supplied toward the outer peripheral surface 21 of the rotating drum 2 as the airflow flowing in the duct 4 becomes scattered, The fibers are deposited in the accumulation recess 22 (fiber deposition step). Preferably, While each of the accumulation recesses 22 of the rotating drum 2 passes through the space B maintained at a negative pressure, Via the bottom surface 22a constituting the accumulation recess 22, The porous plate 27 of 23a and the porous plate 25 for high and medium are suctioned from the suction part. By the attraction of the pores of the porous material of each of the accumulation recesses 22, An air flow is generated in the duct 4 to transport the raw material of the absorbent body to the outer peripheral surface of the drum 2, The raw materials carried along with this air flow are accumulated in each of the accumulation recesses 22.  During the fiber stacking step, The fiber accumulation area PT inside the duct 4, Using a pair of spacer plates 41, 41 Excessive amount of fibers are accumulated in a scattered state in the formed body material in the accumulation recess 22 and a pair of spacer plates 41, 41 areas corresponding to each other. in particular, Figure 1, figure 2, As shown in Figure 4, Inside the duct 4, A pair of spacer plates 41 are provided on both sides of the drum 2 in the circumferential direction (2X direction). 41, therefore, A pair of spacer plates 41, and a pair of spacer plates 41, 41 areas corresponding to each other. In the manufacturing apparatus 1, The adjusting body 20 is not disposed on the inner surface of the middle-to-high porous plate 25 disposed in the middle-to-high recessed portion 23 in the central region of the collection recessed portion 22. and, An adjusting body 20 is disposed on the inner surface of the porous plate 27 arranged in the area of the accumulation recessed portion 22 other than the middle-high porous plate 25. therefore, The air flow that attracts the molded body material through the middle-to-high porous plate 25 is not suppressed, The air flow that attracts the molded body material through the porous plate 27 is suppressed. therefore, In this embodiment, Further, it is possible to collectively gather the formed body material in a scattered state on the pair of spacer plates 41, 41 are in the areas where the middle and high recesses 23 are located.  and then, In the manufacturing apparatus 1, A pair of spacer plates 41, The opposing surfaces of 41 are inclined from the side of the molding material introduction device (not shown) on the other end side of the duct 4 toward the drum 2 so as to gradually narrow the interval between them. A pair of spacer plates 41, 41 41a side of the drum 2 side, The interval between 41a is the same as the width of the high recessed portion 23 in the central region of the concentration recessed portion 22. therefore, In the fiber stacking step of this aspect, Further, it is possible to collectively gather the formed body material in a scattered state on the pair of spacer plates 41, 41 are in the areas where the middle and high recesses 23 are located. Here, If a pair of spacer plates 41, according to the width of the middle and high recessed portions 23 (the width of the middle and high portions of the absorbent body 3 to be formed) are set, 41 的 端 部 41a 、 41 of the end 41a, 41a interval, Absorbers with relatively high basis weights can be processed. E.g, When processing the absorbent body shown in FIG. 10 below, By making the width of the thicker portion (middle-high portion) 33 thinner in the width direction and the end portion 41a of the partition plate, 41a is combined to process the absorbent body 3 having a higher basis weight ratio.  Furthermore, In the area where the middle and high recesses 23 are located, In the circumferential direction (2X direction) of the drum 2, intermittently arranged recesses 23 for middle and high heights are provided. therefore, The portion where the recessed portion 23 for middle height is arranged is deeper than the recessed portion 22 for accumulation other than the recessed portion 23 for middle height. therefore, as shown in picture 2, Yu and a pair of spacer plates 41, 41 in the areas corresponding to each other, In the circumferential direction (2X direction) of the drum 2, The height of the molded body material in which the fibers are deposited in a region corresponding to the portion where the recessed portion 23 for middle and high height is disposed is lower than the height of the molded body material in which the fibers are deposited in a region corresponding to the portion other than the recessed portion 23 for high and middle height.  Then, After the above fiber accumulation step, Scrape the formed body material from excess fiber accumulation, The scraped material of the formed body is again deposited on both sides of the excess fiber accumulation portion in the accumulation recess 22 (fiber accumulation step again). Specifically, The fiber accumulation region RPT from the partition plate 41 to the downstream side inside the duct 4, Figure 1, Figure 2 shows: Scraping roller 42, It scrapes the excess amount of formed fiber material from the shaped body material; And scraping guide 43, It is arranged at a position away from the wiper roller 42 in the upstream direction of the rotation direction (R2 direction) of the drum 2 and separates the formed body material in a scattered state scraped by the wiper roller 42 in the drum width direction (2Y direction). . therefore, During the fiber accumulation step again, As shown in Figure 8, First of all, The scraping roller 42 is used to scrape out the formed body material in which excessive fibers are accumulated. As mentioned above, In this embodiment, Yu and a pair of spacer plates 41, 41 areas corresponding to each other, In the circumferential direction (2X direction) of the drum 2, The height of the molded body material in which the fibers are deposited in a region corresponding to the portion where the recessed portion 23 for middle and high height is disposed is lower than the height of the molded body material in which the fibers are stacked in a region corresponding to the portion other than the recessed portion 23 for high and middle height. Therefore, the scraping roller 42 is used to scrape the excess compacted fiber material. Excess fibers of the formed body material are deposited on a pair of spacer plates 41, 41. The areas of the molded body material in which the fibers are stacked in the areas corresponding to each other have a relatively high height and correspond to areas other than the middle and high recessed portions 23. which is, It is difficult to scrape the fibers with the scraper roller 42 and deposit them on the pair of spacer plates 41, 41. The height of the molded body material in which the fibers are stacked in the areas corresponding to each other is relatively low, and the molded body material in the area corresponding to the portion where the recessed portion 23 for middle height is arranged.  As shown in Figure 8, As shown in Figure 9, The formed fiber material scraped by the scraping roller 42 is returned to the upstream side in a scattered state in the fiber accumulation region RPT in the duct 4 again. The scraping guide 43 disposed at a position away from the scraper roller 42 toward the upstream side in the rotation direction of the drum 2 separates the formed body material in a scattered state in the drum width direction (2Y direction) of the drum 2, Then, the fibers are accumulated again on both sides of a portion where excess fibers are accumulated in the accumulation recess 22. In the accumulation recess 22 on the upstream side of the wiper roller 42, The excess amount of the formed body material has not been scraped off by the scraping roller 42. therefore, Compared to the excess fiber accumulation, On both sides of the portion where the excess fiber is piled up in the circumferential direction (2X direction) of the drum 2, The amount of fiber forming material is small, It is not easy to hinder the attractive force due to the forming material of the fiber accumulation. therefore, Compared with the excess fiber accumulation in the accumulation recess 22, The formed body material separated by the scraping guide portion 43 can more easily accumulate fibers again on both sides of a portion where excess fibers accumulate in the accumulation recess 22. Furthermore, at this time, As shown in Figure 4, By setting the openings 245 of the suction adjustment plate 24 corresponding to both side portions of the gathering recess 22 to be larger than the other openings 245, The two sides of the recessed portion 22 for agglomeration further suppress the attraction of the formed body material to the attractive force, The formed body material separated by the scraping guide portion 43 can more easily accumulate fibers on both sides of the accumulation recessed portion 22 again.  In the manufacturing apparatus 1, As shown in Figure 9, The scraping guide 43 has a top portion 431 protruding toward the downstream side (the scraping roller 42 side) of the rotating direction of the drum 2 in a plan view. therefore, The scraping guide 43 can separate the formed body material scraped by the scraping roller 42, Thereby, the fibers can be deposited again on the above-mentioned two sides in the gathering recess 22 which are very close to each other, therefore, There will be no deviation in the weight (basic weight) of the absorbent body, or the formed body material that has been scraped to the area where the fibers are stacked again will not overflow. Accordingly, it is possible to stably manufacture an absorber having a thick-walled portion (middle-high portion) and a thin-walled portion (peripheral portion of the middle-high portion) having a desired height. Furthermore, Since a part of the formed body material scraped by the scraping roller 42 collides with the top portion 431 of the scraping guide portion 43, The two side walls facing the scraping guide 43 are separated, therefore, From the viewpoint of preventing the pulp from hanging on the top 431, The top portion 431 is preferably a small curved surface having an acute angle or a radius of curvature of 10 mm or less. Further preferably, the structure is as follows, which is, A fine air ejection port is provided on the top 431 in a direction opposite to the wiping roller 42. Air is sprayed onto the formed body material scraped by the scraping roller 42 and scattered toward the top portion 431. With this, The formed body material can be reliably prevented from being caught on the top portion 431.  also, In the manufacturing apparatus 1, As shown in Figure 9, When viewed in plan, the width of the scraping guide 43 decreases gradually from the upstream side of the rotation direction (R2 direction) of the rotating drum 2 toward the downstream side (top 431 side). therefore, After the formed body material scraped by the scraping roller 42 can be separated by the top portion 431, The fibers are surely guided to the above-mentioned both side portions of the gathering recess 22 which are very close, and the fibers are accumulated again, therefore, No deviation of the absorbent weight (basic weight) or pulp that has been scraped to the fiber accumulation area will not overflow. In addition, an absorber having a thick-walled portion and a thin-walled portion having a desired height can be manufactured more stably.  also, In the manufacturing apparatus 1, As shown in Figure 8, A pendant plate 44 is provided inside the duct 4 and hangs from the top surface of the duct 4. and, A scraping roller 42 and a scraping guide 43 are arranged in the fiber accumulation region RPT inside the duct 4 divided by the drooping plate 44. therefore, The formed body material scraped by the scraping roller 42 and returned to the upstream side in a scattered state, and then separated by the scraping guide 43 is returned to the vicinity of the upstream side by the pendant plate 44. in this way, Compared with the excess fiber accumulation in the accumulation recess 22, The scraped formed body material is more likely to accumulate fibers again on both sides of a portion where excess fibers accumulate in the accumulation recess 22. especially, In this embodiment, As shown in Figure 8, The drooping plate 44 is formed into an arc-shaped R shape from the top surface of the guide tube 4 toward the rotating direction of the drum 2 (R2 direction), therefore, The scraped formed body material is guided by the drooping plate 44 to easily and stably accumulate fibers again.  also, In the manufacturing apparatus 1, As shown in Figure 8, The scraping guide 43 is fixed to the hanging plate 44. therefore, The formed body material separated by the scraping guide 43 can easily and stably re-stack the fibers on the upstream adjacent recess 22 for gathering along the curved surface of the drooping plate 44 and the decreasing side wall 43s of the scraping guide 43. Of the above two sides.  also, In the manufacturing apparatus 1, As shown in Figure 9, The plurality of protrusions 422 constituting the scraping roller 42 are arranged only on the outer peripheral surface of the roller body 421, and the fibers are stacked on the pair of ring plates 29, 29 Areas corresponding to the excess amount of formed body material in the areas between each other. in particular, When the scraping roller 42 is viewed from the plane, A region 421T in which a plurality of protrusions 422 are arranged is arranged at a position overlapping the middle-high recessed portion 23 (second region) of the concentration recessed portion 22 in the drum width direction (2Y direction), The area where the protrusions 422 are not arranged is arranged at a position overlapping the area (the first area) other than the middle-high concave portion 23 among the accumulation concave portions 22 in the drum width direction (2Y direction). therefore, It is possible to scrape off only the part where the fibers in the central region of the accumulation recess 22 for the middle and high recesses 23 where the molding material is accumulated are excessively concentrated. In addition, the formed body material in which the fibers are accumulated again on the above-mentioned both sides in the accumulation recess 22 is not scraped. that is, The scraping roller 42 of the manufacturing apparatus 1 is a structure which does not scrape a molded body material other than a necessary part. E.g, In the state before fiber accumulation again, There is too little material in the molded body where fibers are deposited on both sides of the recess 22 for accumulation, Correspondingly, The portions other than the high portion of the central region of the accumulation recess 22 are in a state where excess fibers are accumulated. The scraping roller 42 scrapes the excess amount and accumulates fibers on both sides of the accumulation recess 22 in an excessively small state again, The formed material of the two side portions where fibers are piled up again will not be scraped off. especially, Since the formed material of the fiber accumulation again has substantially no time to be attracted and compressed into the accumulation recess 22 after being accumulated in the accumulation recess 22, therefore, Compared with the fact that the PT from the fiber accumulation region PT is always attracted and compressed into the accumulation recess 22, it is easier to swell, And become easily scraped, But with the above structure, The formed body material stacked on both sides of the accumulation recessed portion 22 where the re-fibers are accumulated in the re-fiber accumulation region RPT is not scraped by the scraping roller 42. With this, No deviation of the absorbent weight (basic weight) or pulp that has been scraped to the fiber accumulation area will not overflow. Further, an absorber having a thick wall portion and a thin wall portion having a required height is stably manufactured.  in this way, During the fiber accumulation step again, Only the portion where the excess fiber of the formed body material accumulates in the central region of the accumulation recess 22 is scraped off by the scraping roller 42. The scraped formed body material is once again accumulated on both sides of the accumulation recess 22 for accumulation of too few fibers on the upstream side of the rotating direction of the drum 2, With this, The height of the formed body material is adjusted to a fixed height. In the manufacturing apparatus 1, The scraping roller 42 scrapes the formed body material in which the fibers are accumulated in the accumulation recess 22, And adjust the scraped formed body material to the height of the protrusion 422 of the scraping roller 42, That is, the height of the outer surface 29a of the ring plate 29 is adjusted in this embodiment. at this time, If the height of the protrusion 422 is changed (such as scuffing clearance), Then it can be adjusted to any height (basic weight) But in this case, Parts other than mid-high (for example, The height in the circumferential direction (other than the middle-high part) also changes. therefore, For example, if you only want to adjust the height (base weight) of the middle and high sections, It is only necessary to make the depth of the recesses in the middle and high portions deeper or lighten the recesses for concentration other than the middle and high portions.  in this way, As shown in Figure 1, After the formed body material fibers are deposited in the accumulation recess 22 to obtain a fiber deposit 32, The drum 2 is further rotated. then, When the fiber deposits 32 in the collecting recess 22 reach the opposite position of the vacuum box 11, With the attraction from the vacuum box 11, Is in a state of being adsorbed on the mesh belt 13, In this state, It is conveyed to the nearest part of the transfer roller 5 and the rotating drum 2 or its vicinity. then, The fiber deposit 32 in a state of being adsorbed on the mesh belt 13 is demolded from the agglomeration recess 22 by suction from the feed roller 5 side, It is transferred onto the transfer roller 5 together with the mesh belt 13.  FIG. 10 shows a fiber deposit 32 immediately after demolding from the accumulation recess 22 of the present embodiment. The fiber deposit 32 is shown in FIG. 10, The portion corresponding to the middle-high recessed portion 23 (second region) having a deeper depth in the central region of the concentration recessed portion 22 becomes a thick portion 33 having a higher height. The portion (first region) corresponding to the recessed portion 22 for accumulation other than the recessed portion 23 for middle and high heights becomes the thin-walled portion 34 having a lower height. in particular, The height of the thick-walled portion 33 is determined by the thickness of the space plate 26 disposed on the porous plate 25 for medium to high height, Thickness of the recessed dividing plate 28, And the thickness of the ring plate 29 is formed. also, The thin-walled portion 34 is formed by the thickness of the concave portion dividing plate 28 and the thickness of the ring plate 29 arranged on the porous plate 27.  If we go into more detail, As shown in Figure 10, The thick-walled portion 33 is divided by a MD division forming member 262 and a CD division forming member 263 intersecting in a grid pattern in an area surrounded by the annular division forming member 261 of the space plate 26 disposed on the middle-high porous plate 25. (Refer to Figure 6), It has a divided thick wall portion 331. also, The thin-walled portion 34 is formed by the MD division forming member 285 and the CD division forming member intersecting in a lattice pattern by the opening division forming portion 284 of the recess dividing plate 28 disposed on the porous plate 27 except the cross-shaped opening portion 281. 286 and divided (refer to Figure 6), It has a divided thin-walled portion 341.  Furthermore, In the manufacturing apparatus 1, The adjusting body 20 is not disposed on the inner surface of the high-purpose porous plate 25 disposed in the middle-high recessed portion 23 in the central region of the concentration recessed portion 22, and, An adjusting body 20 is disposed on the inner surface of the porous plate 27 arranged in the area of the accumulation recessed portion 22 other than the middle-high porous plate 25. In addition, In the fiber accumulation area, With a pair of spacer plates 41, 41, and the molded body material is supplied in a concentrated manner to the circumferential direction including the middle-high recessed portion 23 in the concentration recessed portion 22. therefore, The thick-walled portion 33 of the fiber deposit 32 shown in FIG. 10 obtained using the manufacturing apparatus 1 becomes a high basis weight portion in which the fiber accumulation amount of the absorbent raw material is relatively large. The thin-walled portion 34 becomes a low basis weight portion in which the fiber accumulation amount of the absorbent raw material is relatively small. also, The entire area of the bottom surface of the fiber deposit 32 is made substantially flat by the scraping roller 42.  As shown in Figure 1, The fiber deposit 32 transferred to the transfer roller 5 is conveyed while being attracted from the transfer roller 5 side, And it is conveyed to the core material 37 which consists of toilet paper, a liquid-permeable non-woven fabric, etc. which are introduce | transduced on the vacuum conveyor 6 arrange | positioned below the transfer roller 5. Since then, As shown in Figure 1, Fold the two sides of the core material 37 along the conveying direction, The upper and lower surfaces of the fiber deposit 32 are covered with the core material 37. then, The fibrous deposits 32 in the state covered with the core material 37 and the core material 37 are passed by the cutter roller 72 of the cutting device 7 to the adjacent thick wall portion 33, 33 is cut off in the middle of each other. in this way, The absorbent body 3 covered with the core material 37 was obtained.  The absorbent body 3 obtained by using the manufacturing apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1 is an absorbent body which includes the thick-walled portion 33 and the thin-walled portion 34 and has a locally different height as a molded body material. The fiber accumulation unevenness of the absorbent body 3 obtained by using the manufacturing apparatus 1 is extremely small, Such an absorbent body 3 is used as a disposable diaper, Menstrual tampon, An absorbent body such as an incontinence pad is preferably a high-quality absorbent body. in this way, According to the manufacturing apparatus 1 and the manufacturing method using the same according to this embodiment, An absorber having a thick wall portion and a thin wall portion having a desired height can be stably manufactured. also, By the function of the adjustment body 20 described above, The thick-walled portion 33 becomes a relatively high basis weight, The thin-walled portion 34 becomes a relatively low basis weight. in this way, According to the manufacturing apparatus 1 and the manufacturing method using the same according to this embodiment, An absorber having a thick wall portion and a thin wall portion having a required basis weight can be stably manufactured.  The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be appropriately modified.  E.g, In the manufacturing apparatus 1 described above, As shown in Figure 1, A pair of partition plates 41, 41, However, it may not have a pair of spacer plates 41, 41.  also, In the manufacturing apparatus 1 described above, As shown in Figure 1, Inside the duct 4, there is a pendant plate 44 depending from the top surface of the duct 4, However, the hanging plate 44 may not be provided.

In this case, It is preferable to adjust the position of the region 421T where the protrusion 422 is arranged in the drum width direction (2Y direction). In this case, In order to separate the scraped formed body material equally, Preferably, the position of the central portion of the region 421T in which the protrusion 422 is arranged is consistent with the position of the top portion 432 of the scraping guide portion 43, However, in order to separate the formed material unevenly, The position of the central portion of the region 421T where the protrusions 422 are arranged and the position of the top portion 432 of the scraping guide 43 may be shifted in the drum width direction (2Y direction).  also, In the manufacturing apparatus 1 described above, As shown in FIG. 3, the scratch guide 43 In plane view, The position of the top portion 431 is consistent with the central portion of the rotation axis direction of the rotating drum 2 of the area 421T where the plurality of protrusions 422 are arranged on the wiper roller 42, However, from the viewpoint of adjusting the thickness of the obtained absorbent body, etc., It is also possible to adjust the position in the rotation axis direction of the drum 2 of the scraping guide 43 and adjust the position of the top portion 431.  also, In the manufacturing apparatus 1 described above, as shown in picture 2, An adjusting body 20 for adjusting the attractive force is arranged on the inner surface side of the drum 2 of the porous plate 27 (porous member) other than the middle and high recessed portions 23 in the recessed portions 22 for accumulation, However, the adjustment body 20 for adjusting the attractive force may not be arranged in any area. The fiber deposit 32 manufactured using such a drum 2 becomes an unevenly distributed fiber deposit having a thick wall portion 33 having a relatively high height and a thin wall portion 34 having a relatively low height. The thick-walled portion of the unevenly distributed fiber accumulation becomes a high-basis-weight portion having a relatively high basis weight. The thin wall portion becomes a low basis weight portion having a relatively low basis weight.  also, The shape of the manufactured fiber deposit 32 is not limited to the above-mentioned shape, It is also possible to attract the adjustment plate 24, Porous plates for high and medium use 25, Space board 26, Porous plate 27, Recessed partition plate 28, The arrangement or shape of the recesses 22 for aggregating can be flexibly changed by replacing a pair of ring plates 29, etc. And the arrangement or shape of the recesses 23 for middle heights. also, The middle-high recessed portion 23 may be formed in a region other than the central region of the second-region high-contraction recessed portion 23 in the second region having a deeper formation depth than the first region.  also, As shown in Figure 6, The drum 2 includes a suction adjustment plate 24, Porous plates for high and medium use 25, Space board 26, Porous plate 27, Recessed partition plate 28, And a pair of ring plates 29, However, it is also possible to use, instead of the plate, a plate having a body structure in which a portion having a high basis weight portion is to be deeply depressed.
