Description
The cross reference of related application
The U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial Article No.61/610,063 submitted this application claims on March 13rd, 2012(It is pending)
Priority, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein with reform.
Technical field
The application is related to a kind of distribution method, and it is used for during disposable absorptive personal hygiene products are manufactured, Xiang Yi
The various parts coating foam hotmelt of secondary property absorbability personal hygiene products.
Background technology
In manufacture disposable absorptive personal hygiene products, such as diaper, adult incontinence productses and feminine hygiene phase
Between, by liquid adhesive, such as hotmelt is coated in various parts.In order to which hotmelt is coated into disposable suction
In the various parts of the property received personal hygiene products, various distribution systems have been have developed.In an example, these distribution systems will
The lamination of hotmelt or binder course are coated between two flat substrates, are such as coated in nonwoven fibre layers and thin polyethylene
Between counterdie.In another example, one or more of hotmelts silk is applied to one or more of thin elasticas
Stock, then makes the elastic strands adhere to non-woven lining bottom, to form being handled through elasticity for disposable absorptive personal hygiene products
Portion.In the downstream of distribution system, various parts(For example, flat substrate layer and elastic strands)Through pressure clamp, part is consolidated
It is scheduled on together.
In such applications, hotmelt silk must be carefully controlled during distribution, to ensure desired adhesive
Pattern is applied to thin elastic strands, or in the narrow region of accurately restriction being coated in flat substrate.In known allocation system
In, the continuous fibers of liquid adhesive are discharged from the mould or nozzle exported with one or more adhesives.Each adhesive
Outlet generally all has related plant air outlet, and air-spray is discharged in plant air outlet at allocated silk.It is empty
Gas jet makes every liquid adhesive silk attenuate, and causes the silk substantially with rearwardly and a forwardly mode, spiral fashion or take
Certainly the another way in the position of air-spray is moved.When silk is deposited in mobile flat substrate, the silk forms overlapping
Pattern or non-overlapped pattern.Therefore, in order to be accurately positioned and adhere to mobile strands or flat substrate, liquid is carefully controlled
Adhesive filament.
Liquid adhesive silk is controlled in order to careful, the plant air jet used in these known allocation systems is with a high speed
Degree movement, the high speed is enough to change the flight of liquid adhesive silk by controlled way.However, using high relative velocity air
Excessive " flight " can be caused, distribution pattern is expected wherein adhesive filament is blown off.Being somebody's turn to do " flight " causes adhesive deposits in expectation
Pattern border outer.Also it can result in " shooting " using high relative velocity air-spray, wherein the winding of adjacent adhesives silk, and
Bead of adhesive and unexpected pattern are formed on substrate.It is thus known that distribution system needs adhesive to have fully high speed
Degree and/or density, so that repeatable and accurate control can be carried out while " flight " and " shooting " is minimized.
Adhesive combination effect between the elastic strands of evaluation one or more root and one or more flat substrates
When, the characteristic generally measured is creep resistance." creep " of elastic strands is defined as, and the either end of elastic strands is adhered to from the end
The motion started to the initial position of substrate.The level of creep resistance indicates that the end of elastic strands is remained adhered on viscous
Situation about being attached in the position of the substrate of elastic strands is how well.Because elastic strands adhere to substrate under tension,
So elastic strands continue to substrate applying power, and adhesive attempts the unstretched condition that recovers to loosening.The power causes
During using disposable absorptive personal hygiene products, the product through elastic processing unit(For example, the leg goffering on diaper)
It can keep solidly joined with skin surface.If the elastic strands in disposable absorptive personal hygiene products are passed through after assembling
What successive obvious creep compliance, at least one end of elastic strands effectively will just depart from substrate to be combined, and is reduced through elasticity
Processing unit is kept and the solidly joined ability of skin surface.In order to avoid the bad creep, it is necessary to by being applied to elastic strands
Adhesive formation high quality bond, so that elastic strands are not disengaged with substrate.
A kind of well-known method that therefore quality for improving adhesive combination reduces creep is in substrate or elastica
Other adhesive is applied on stock.However, applying length of the too many adhesive along elastic strands to elastic strands has locked elasticity
Strands, therefore elastomeric material is reduced to the effect of substrate applying power.In other words, elastic strands, which are lost to substrate, applies foot
The ability of enough convergent forces.
In addition, the amount for the adhesive that increase is used in the manufacture of disposable absorptive personal hygiene products is significantly increased into
This, and also reduce " feel " or pliability of obtained product.Apply too many adhesive material and improve obtained product
Hardness, and may also lead to " burn ", when adhesive material burns or melts the substrate by adhering to, occur " burn-through ".Especially
It is that the pliability of completed knocked down products is for evaluating the another of disposable absorptive personal hygiene products quality in diaper manufacture
One important measured value.Therefore, the amount of the adhesive for elastic strands to be adhered to substrate should be minimized, while also keeping Gao Shui
Flat creep resistance, the burn-through of high convergency power and minimum and hardness.Adhesive dispensing systems should carefully control the liquid of discharge
Adhesive filament, with by the minimum of adhesive using ensuring accurate adhesive disposed material and to ensure high quality bond.
Similarly, can be by being applied to one or two substrate when constructing disposable absorptive personal hygiene products
Adhesive pattern, two or more substrates are adhered to each other.For example, two substrates can be adhered to along the marginal portion of substrate.
As a result, it is necessary to the adhesive filament that careful control is discharged towards substrate, it is accurate along edges of substrate and in edges of substrate to ensure
Positioning, also referred to as " Edge position control ".If adhesive filament undergoes " winged " of any non-negligible quantity from the expectation on substrate
Pattern, the feature of the adhesive is exactly to have bad Edge position control, and this negatively affects disposable absorptive personal hygiene products
In element it is ultimately constructed.For the purpose, adhesive dispensing systems must carefully control liquid adhesive silk, to avoid
The bad Edge position control spent in " flight " and substrate adhesion.
By contrast, in other adhesive distribution fields, such as pack(For example, box)On adhesive distribution in,
By the way that nitrogen or another gas are injected into liquid hot melt adhesive to form foam glue, to make the adhesive used in coating
Total amount is minimized.Liquid adhesive is injected a gas into by the blender that foams, routinely, foaming blender is to need significantly manufacture
The large equipment in space.Then, foam glue is stacked into a kind of pattern on relatively large package combination region.As
The result of big calmodulin binding domain CaM is used in packaging field, the pinpoint accuracy of adhesive and accurate control are no longer that important design considers
Factor.More specifically, in most cases, foam glue is all sprayed with wide pattern, its not by air assisted, rather than
Discharged foam glue as the silk moved by plant air.In addition, the strong combination formed between big calmodulin binding domain CaM is not
It is the significant design Consideration of packaging field again.For the purpose, plant air is bonded with foam in these coatings
Agent is used together, it is possible to use the plant air stream of relatively low speed, to control the foam glue silk in packaging field
Flight.Thus, due to the plant air of low velocity, so minimizing using packaging field caused by low density foam adhesive
In any " flight " and " shooting " problem.
Dispensed adhesive onto however, working as in the elastic strands used in disposable absorptive personal hygiene products or nonwoven
When on substrate, these insufficient control adhesive filaments of low velocity plant air stream.Moreover, it is believed that and compared with the adhesive of low-density,
Such as foam glue, which is used together high speed plant air stream, will cause significantly " flight " and " shooting ", and this causes disposably
Low creep resistance and/or bad Edge position control in absorbability personal hygiene products field.In addition, conventional foaming blender is big
Size prevents manufacturer from will foam blender extremely adjacent to adhesive applicator positioning, but expects in non-woven fabric coating such
Positioning.As a result, foam glue has not been used in the manufacture of disposable absorptive personal hygiene products.
Therefore, exist in the manufacture of disposable absorptive personal hygiene products to a kind of following adhesive distribution method
Demand, this method provides the creep resistance improved in characteristic, including obtained product, power and shunk and pliability.

Cause towards the corresponding elastic distribution of strands 28 foam glue silk 30, so as to which its at least part is deposited in elastic strands 28.
More specifically, foam glue silk 30 can be accumulated with completely attaching to elastic strands 28, or it can be connect with the elastic part of strands 28
Touch, the other parts of foam glue 30 are sagging from elastic strands 28.Pressing technology air is discharged from air discharge outlet 236,
And as indicated by the arrow 242, it is tangentially guided substantially towards foam glue silk 30.As silk is deposited in elastic strands 28
On, pressing technology air makes foam glue silk 30 be moved with screw.Such as described in more detail above, elastic strands 28 make silk
30 accelerate, and stretch adhesive filament 30 and form discrete adhesives block 35, when elastic strands 28 adhere to substrate 18,
Discrete adhesives block 35 forms discrete binding site.As shown in figures 6 and 7, the volume of foam glue silk 30 is in elastic strands
Expanded on 28.Then, elastic strands 28 get out be fixed to another substrate in disposable absorptive personal hygiene products 10,

Flight or shooting caused by the high pressure of air.Even if in addition, foam glue 30 begun to before elastic strands are stacked into it is swollen
Swollen, foam glue 30 still awing keeps enough globalities, to avoid flicking from elastic strands.Foam glue silk 30
Still can fully and accurately it control, to be deposited in elastic strands 28 with the desired pattern similar to liquid hot melt adhesive filament
On.
When the elastic strands 28 of one or more root are bound into non-woven lining bottom 18 using foam glue 30, foam bonding
The bond quality that agent 30 shows is substantially similar to the bond quality of liquid adhesive formation.For example, using the foam of same volume
Adhesive 30 and liquid adhesive cause the creep resistance of essentially identical level.In addition, during combination, foam glue 30 after
The continuous discrete binding site formed along elastic strands 28, this provides high-tensile strength and shrinks quality.Include liquid in view of foam glue 30
The hotmelt of about half normal amount of adhesive, so compared with conventional design, improving the pliability or hand of diaper 10
Sense.The expansion of foam glue 30 is effectively formed the network structure of hotmelt and gas, once it is deposited in elastic strands
On 28, the network structure just effectively adheres to elastic strands 28.
In another related example, a greater degree of foaming of adhesive 30 is carried for same amount of addition binder wt
For the creep resistance of raising.With reference to Fig. 9, test result is shown, in operation, is improved by applying more foams to adhesive
Creep resistance amount.At this point, Fig. 9 includes chart 280, and it represents that the relative addition with every meter of elastic strands 28 of milligram is bonded
The average creep percentage of agent weight measurement.It was delayed the timeliness phase at 28 hours after elastic strands 28 to be bound to non-woven lining bottom 18
After carry out creep measurement, and for foam levels different in foam glue 30(0% or liquid adhesive, 14%, 26% and
34%), various data points are drawn on chart 280(It is not shown).By " % foams ", percentage shown in this figure is meant
During or after being stacked into elastic strands 28, the overall volume expansion percentage of foam glue experience.Although industrial standard is added
Scope is about every meter of 35-50 milligrams, but also provides the test result inside and outside the critical field, so as to produce Trendline
290a, 290b, 290c, 290d, to improve the different foam levels illustration of foam glue 30.
As shown in chart 280, within the delay sampling timeliness phase of 28 hours, more foams are added to foam glue 30
Significantly improve obtained creep resistance.For the purpose, scope, liquid adhesive are added for industrial standard(0% foam)'s
First trend line 290a shows about 25% relatively high creep, and in the range of industrial standard addition, the second trend of 14% foam
Line 290b reduces creep, shows that it declines towards 15%.Shown in the test result, the 3rd Trendline 290c of 26% foam enters
One step reduces creep compliance, and in the range of industrial standard addition, the 4th Trendline 290d of 34% foam realizes ideal creep amount
(For example, less than 10%).Therefore, enough gas-pressurizeds are provided in foam glue 30, with formation at least 26% foam or total
Volumetric expansion, or even more preferably form at least 34% foam, this for each strands length binder wt, in industry
The creep resistance of aspiration level is provided in standard addition scope to most of applications.It should be understood that for one in other embodiment
A little adhesives, specific foam percentage and the creep resistance level realized can be based on materials variances changes.However, for all
Test material, for same amount of addition weight, by improving the gas-pressurized volume production being present in liquid hot melt adhesive
Raw foam volume increase will cause improved creep resistance.Thus, when improving creep resistance, propose the foaming of foam glue 30
Unexpected benefit is supplied, while keeping high bond quality.
In addition, the expansion of foam glue 30 causes the most external or exterior layer of adhesive material more rapidly to cool down, thus
Reduce the possibility that foam glue 30 burns the second substrate 26.More specifically, foam glue keeps warm enough, to be formed
Reliable adhesive between the element of diaper 10 is combined, while cooling enough, to avoid burning on temperature sensitive substrates.
In addition, test has revealed that following unexpected benefit, i.e., reduce pressure clamp or pressure roll needs using foam glue 30
Apply to produce the high quality bond between elastic strands 28 and substrate 18 clutches pressure.Thus, pass through the viscous of the present invention

Mouth is exported(It is not shown), to be discharged once from jet expansion, foam glue silk 30 is with regard to similar liquids adhesive pearl.
Discharge the plant air of multiple air jet forms, and before foam glue silk 30 is deposited on non-woven lining bottom 18 to
Prestige mode moves foam glue silk 30.Substrate is moved up in the side of arrow 34.Plant air can be used to produce silk
Any desired motion, including but not limited to random motion or screw.In this embodiment, such as the bonding on non-woven lining bottom 18
Shown in the random pattern of agent, plant air applies random motion to every foam glue silk 30.As shown in Figure 10, foam glues
Length of the mixture 30 along substrate 18 forms increase or the overlying adhesive block 35 of many regional areas.Combined by elastic strands 28
During substrate 18, these topical adhesive blocks 35 are changed into discrete binding site, and this advantageously provides the enough of obtained combination
Power is shunk and creep resistance quality.Similar to the embodiment of the elastic strands shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, discharged from jet expansion
Afterwards, the volume of foam glue 30 immediately begins to expansion, and during flying and after being deposited on non-woven lining bottom 18, foam
At least the 14% of the volume of adhesive 30 increase total amount.In addition, foam glue 30 produces the complete enough of substrate 18 by less addition
All standing and relatively thin full bond agent coating.
