Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、安全を確保するための衝撃吸収エアバッグ用高密度織物に関するものである。更に詳しくは、織物基布の経/緯度方向の剛軟度を小さくして収納性を向上すると同時に低通気化を目的としたものであり、エアバッグとした場合にバッグ展開時、乗員の衝撃をより吸収し、顔面の挫傷を軽減するエアバッグ用高密度織物に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、自動車輌に於ける乗員の安全確保の観点より、エアバッグシステムが普及されつつある。エアバッグは事故等の衝突、衝撃により車輌のセンサーがキャッチし、ガス発生器より高温高圧ガスによってエアバッグを急速に展開させ、乗員を拘束すると同時に乗員のショックを軽くする。エアバッグ内の発生ガスを抜くため、反顔面側に細孔を設けたり、又は織密度を小さくする方法がとられているものは一般的であるが、更にはエアバッグ基布に使用される糸の太さ(繊度)を小さくすることにより、基布の剛軟度を小さくし、顔面に優しい基布が開発されてきている。このような基布の製織工程に於いて、経糸の織張力に対し、緯糸の飛走張力(解舒張力)が高くなり、このため基布構造を拡大する緯糸のうねりが経糸に対して小さい。更に基布を解反し、糸特性をみると経糸に対し緯糸はモジュラスが大きく、且つクリンプ率が小さくなっており、結果として、基布の幅(緯糸)方向と長さ(経糸)方向とで剛軟度が大きく異なる。
【0003】
特開平9−78391号公報には、剛軟度を小さくし、耐衝撃性および低通気性に優れるエアバッグ用高密度織物を提供することが記載されているが、経/緯方向の剛軟度の差を小さくしてさらに収納性の向上を併せ持つことは記載されていない。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、前記した従来技術の問題点を改良し、基布強度、バースト圧等の基布品質上の問題がなく、かつ、経/緯方向の剛軟度の差を小さくし、耐衝撃性および低通気性、収納性に優れるエアバッグ用高密度織物を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するための手段、即ち、本発明のエアバッグ用高密度織物は、合成フィラメント糸からなる経糸及び緯糸により構成される高密度織物であって、経糸及び緯糸が、異形度が1より大きくかつ3.5以下である異形断面糸からなり、かつ、経糸又は緯糸の一方の糸の繊度を基準として他方の糸の繊度が−3%〜+3%の範囲に入り、かつ緯糸を構成する単糸の繊度が経糸を構成する単糸の繊度より小さいことを特徴とするものである。さらにこの基布を樹脂によりコートして、より低通気性を向上させたことを特徴とする。
【0006】
本発明の高密度織物において、経糸及び緯糸の糸の繊度が165〜550dtexであることが好ましい。また、経糸及び緯糸の強度が6.4g/dtex以上であることが好ましい。さらに、合成フィラメント糸がポリアミド繊維よりなることが好ましい。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明について詳しく説明する。本発明で言う合成フィラメント糸とは、熱可塑性樹脂からなる糸であって、エアバッグとした時の基布品質(基布強度、バースト圧等)に問題が生じなければいかなるものでも良いが、例えば、ナイロン6、ナイロン66、ナイロン12、ナイロン46、ナイロン6とナイロン66の共重合体等のポリアミド、およびポリエステルからなる糸が挙げられる。これらの糸には、熱安定性を向上させるために酸化防止剤が含まれていても良い。又生産性向上のための増粘剤、滑剤等を含んでいてもよい。
【0008】
本発明の最大の特徴は、高密度織物を構成する経糸及び緯糸の糸の単糸断面が、通常の丸断面ではなく特定の偏平度を有する異形断面であることにある。一定以上の偏平度を有する異形断面糸(以下、単に偏平糸という)を用いると、織物としたときに単糸断面の長径が織物平面上で該平面に平行に配置されることになる。その結果、織物の厚み方向に対して単位表面積あたりの隙間が減少し、同等繊度の丸断面を使用し織り密度が同等である場合に比較し、通気量が抑制されることになる。また、同等の通気量に設計しようとすると総繊度を減少させることが可能となり、厚みの薄い軽量な基布とすることができるのである。
【0009】
本発明における単糸断面の偏平度とは、単糸断面形状を楕円に近似した際、その長径と短径の比で定義する。その断面は厳密に楕円である必要はなく、全体の偏平性に影響を与えない範囲で一部に突起や窪みを有していても差し支えない。このような場合にもその全体の外形を損ねないような楕円に近似し、偏平度を算出すればよい。
【0010】
本発明の効果を得るためには、上記偏平度が3.5以下、より好ましくは2.5以下であることが必要である。特に断面としては楕円形が好ましい。3.5以上であると、例え偏平断面であっても、織物としたときに単糸断面はランダムに位置しがちとなり、布帛厚み方向の空隙が大きくなる。また、長径どうし、短径どうしが同一方向に向く確率も小さくなってしまう。従って、本発明の、通気量軽減や軽量化といった効果が得られなくなる。さらに製糸性、製織性が悪化し、ケバ等も生じやすくなり好ましくない。また、紡糸工程でのノズルの管理も複雑なものとなる。
【0011】
本発明の如く偏平度が3.5以下であれば、偏平度1即ち丸断面よりも繊維外周が大きくなり、表面積が増加し、同じコート液を塗布したとしても、塗布された樹脂層の厚みを小さくすることが可能となり、より柔軟性を維持するとともに剛軟度が増加する。さらに驚くべきことに、経緯方向の剛軟度もほぼ等しくなり、その差は経/緯の比として10%以下となり、より収納性が向上する。
【0012】
図1に本発明における代表的な異形断面の例を記載する。もちろん、これらは代表例であって何等これに制限されるものではない。図1のaは長径、bは短径で、偏平度はb/aで計算される。
【0013】
本発明の高密度織物に塗布される樹脂としては、付加型シリコンゴムコーティング剤を溶剤で希釈することなく、1〜70g/m2好ましくは、1〜30g/m2の塗布量で塗布することにより形成される。繊度が165〜550dtexの異形断面というフィラメント糸からなる基布からなるものであれば、薄く軽量で、折り畳み易く、収納性に優れたエアバッグ用基布とすることができる。また、フィラメント糸を異形断面にすることで表面積が大きくなることから、塗布量も1〜30g/m2という薄いコーティング膜でガスリークを防止することができる。このため、従来のコートタイプのものと比べて軽量化が可能となる。表面平滑性に優れたものとなると共に、より一層エアバッグのコンパクト化が可能となる。
【0014】
しかも、本発明では、コーティング剤として付加型シリコンゴムコーティング剤が良く、熱加硫シリコンゴム、室温加硫シリコンゴム、水溶性エマルジョンシリコンゴムなどでも効果はある。従来から知られているクロロプレン系コート剤、ウレタン系コート剤でもよいが、好ましくはシリコン系で、特に偏平糸からなる基布の場合は、シリコン系が良い。表面張力の関係で塗布後、基布全体にしみわたる速度が速い。
【0015】
また、このコーティング剤の粘度としては1〜200Pa・sの粘度がよく、好ましくは、1〜100Pa・sの粘度がよい。ナイフコータで塗布することにより、好ましくは塗布量1〜30g/m2で薄く、かつ均質なコーティング膜を容易に形成することができる。
【0016】
得られた基布の表面に樹脂液を塗布する方法としては、上記した特性をもつ樹脂をグラビアコーティングや捺染などがあり、また布帛内部にまで樹脂を付与する方法としてはディッピングなどがあり、その手段は限定されないが、樹脂を積層又は付与した布帛の通気度が1.2cm3 /sec/ cm2 以下を満足するように決められる。
【0017】
本発明の高密度織物を構成する経糸及び緯糸の繊度は、互いに実質的に等しく、かつ緯糸を構成する単糸の繊度が経糸を構成する単糸の繊度より小さいものである。ここで、経糸及び緯糸の糸の繊度が、互いに「実質的に等しい」とは、経糸又は緯糸の一方の糸の繊度を基準として、他方の糸の繊度が−3%〜+3%の範囲に入ることを示す。このように、経糸及び緯糸の繊度を互いに実質的に等しくすることにより、基布の通気性及び強力等のバラツキが小さくなり、基布品質が安定する。また、緯糸を構成する単糸の繊度を、経糸を構成する単糸の繊度より小さくすることにより、基布の幅方向と長さ方向の剛軟度の差を小さくし低通気化の効果が生じ、上述した断面を異形にしさらに樹脂を塗布することにより、一層低通気化が可能となる。一般に、緯糸を構成する単糸の繊度を、経糸を構成する単糸の繊度に対して1.1dtex以上小さいものとすることにより、基布の剛軟度及び通気性に効果が生じるが、この差が1.1dtex以下では、剛軟度は期待できない。2.2dtex以上の差があることが好ましい。
【0018】
本発明において、経糸及び緯糸の繊度を165〜550dtexとすることが好ましい。繊度が155dtex未満であると、基布目付は軽量化するが展開時のバースト圧(破裂圧)が低くなり、このため乗員の安全確保の面で問題が生じるので好ましくない。一方、550dtexを越えると、基布強度は良くなるがエアバッグの軽量、コンパクト化の高機能化の面及び基布目付の増量によりコストパーフォマンスが悪くなるので好ましくない。より好ましい経糸及び緯糸の糸デニールは275〜495dtexである。
【0019】
また、本発明において、経糸及び緯糸の強度は6.4g/dtex以上が好ましい。強度が6.4g/dtex未満であると、展開時のバースト圧(破裂圧)が低くなり、このため乗員の安全確保の面で問題が生じるので好ましくない。より好ましい強度は8.8g/dtex以上である。
【0020】
さらに、本発明において、合成フィラメント糸としてポリアミド繊維を採用する場合には、ポリエステルに比べ次の特徴が出るので好ましい。すなわち、1.熱保有量が大きい、2.原糸強伸度が大きく、延伸性が優れる(後加工通過性および基布品位が良い)、3.比重が小さい(軽量コンパクト化)、および4.モジュラスが低い(ソフト化)である。但し従来ポリエステル繊維も熱特性が比較的不利であったが、今後は低温インフレーターの開発が採用されることにより、エアバッグとして装着可能になる。
【0021】
また、ポリアミド繊維を用いる場合、特に下記特性を満足するものを用いることは、本発明の目的を達成する上で好ましい。すなわち:相対粘度:≧2.5、繊度:≧155dtex、強度:≧6.4g/dtex、切断伸度:≦30%、熱水収縮率:≧5%、ポリアミド繊維の強度を6.4g/dtex以上とすることにより、基布の強力を向上させることができる。そして、糸強度6.4g/dtexの糸を得るためには、相対粘度として2.5以上が必要である。より好ましい強度は7.3g/dtex以上であり、より好ましい相対粘度は3.0以上である。また、ポリアミド繊維の繊度は150デニール以上が好ましく、より好ましくは275dtex以上である。155dtex以下になると、エアバッグに形成した時、展開時のバースト圧(破裂圧)が低くなり、安全性の観点より問題が生じるので好ましくない。また、切断伸度は30%以下とすることが基布の強力を向上させる点から好ましく、より好ましくは25%以下である。熱水収縮率は5%以上とすることが基布の低通気化の点から好ましく、より好ましくは8.0%以上である。
【0022】
本発明のエアバッグ用高密度織物は、コート基布であり、一般に経糸及び緯糸の密度は40本/インチ以上で、目付は1〜70g/m2 であり、厚みは0.15〜0.40mm、通気性は1.2cm3/sec/cm2 以下である。通気性は、好ましくは布帛の1.27cmの圧力降下での通気量が1.2cm3 /sec/ cm2 以下、より好ましくは0.7cm3 /sec/ cm2 であればよい。ここにおいて該布帛の通気量は、JIS−L1096−6.27A法に準じて測定した値である。すなわち、水柱1.27cmの圧力下においての試験片を通過する空気量を求めたものである。上記通気量が1.2cm3/sec/ cm2 を越えると、エアバッグ用基布としての高い信頼性の瞬時の展開能が軽減してしまい好ましくない。
【0023】
本発明のエアバッグ用高密度織物は、透過布、未透過布の高密度織物として用いることができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a high-density fabric for an impact-absorbing airbag for ensuring safety. More specifically, it is intended to improve the storage property by reducing the warp / latitude softness of the fabric base fabric in the warp / latitude direction, and at the same time to reduce air permeability. It is related with the high-density fabric for airbags which absorbs more and reduces the contusion of a face.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, airbag systems are becoming popular from the viewpoint of ensuring the safety of passengers in automobiles. The air bag is caught by a vehicle sensor in the event of a collision or impact such as an accident, and the air bag is rapidly deployed by high-temperature and high-pressure gas from the gas generator to restrain the passenger and simultaneously reduce the shock to the passenger. In order to remove the generated gas from the airbag, it is common to use a method in which pores are provided on the opposite face side or a method of reducing the woven density, but it is also used for an airbag base fabric. Base fabrics that are gentle on the face have been developed by reducing the bending resistance of the base fabric by reducing the thickness (fineness) of the yarn. In such a weaving process of the base fabric, the weft flying tension (unwinding tension) is higher than the warp weaving tension, so that the weft of the weft that expands the base fabric structure is smaller than the warp. . Furthermore, when the base fabric is disassembled and the yarn characteristics are seen, the weft has a larger modulus and a lower crimp rate than the warp. As a result, the width (weft) direction and the length (warp) direction of the base fabric The bending resistance is greatly different.
[0003]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-78391 describes that a high-density fabric for an airbag having a low bending resistance and an excellent impact resistance and low air permeability is provided. It is not described that the difference in degree is reduced to further improve the storage property.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The purpose of the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, there are no problems in base fabric quality such as base fabric strength, burst pressure, etc., and the difference in bending / softening flexibility is reduced, An object of the present invention is to provide a high-density fabric for an airbag excellent in impact resistance, low air permeability, and storage.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Means for solving the above-mentioned problem, that is, the high-density fabric for an airbag of the present invention is a high-density fabric composed of warp and weft made of synthetic filament yarn, and the warp and weft have a degree of deformity of 1. It is made of a modified cross-section yarn that is larger and 3.5 or less, and the fineness of the other yarn falls within the range of −3% to + 3% based on the fineness of one of the warp or weft, and constitutes the weft The fineness of the single yarn is smaller than the fineness of the single yarn constituting the warp. Further, this base fabric is coated with a resin to further improve the low air permeability.
[0006]
In the high-density fabric of the present invention, the fineness of warp and weft yarns is preferably 165 to 550 dtex. Further, the warp and weft strength is preferably 6.4 g / dtex or more. Furthermore, the synthetic filament yarn is preferably made of polyamide fiber.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention will be described in detail below. The synthetic filament yarn referred to in the present invention is a yarn made of a thermoplastic resin, and may be anything as long as there is no problem in the quality of the base fabric (base fabric strength, burst pressure, etc.) when used as an airbag. For example, nylon 6, nylon 66, nylon 12, nylon 46, polyamide such as a copolymer of nylon 6 and nylon 66, and yarn made of polyester can be used. These yarns may contain an antioxidant in order to improve thermal stability. Further, it may contain a thickener, a lubricant and the like for improving productivity.
[0008]
The greatest feature of the present invention is that the single yarn cross sections of the warp and weft yarns constituting the high-density fabric are irregular cross sections having specific flatness rather than ordinary round cross sections. When a modified cross-section yarn having a flatness of a certain level or more (hereinafter simply referred to as a flat yarn) is used, the major axis of the single yarn cross section is arranged in parallel to the plane on the fabric plane when the fabric is made. As a result, the gap per unit surface area decreases with respect to the thickness direction of the woven fabric, and the air flow rate is suppressed as compared with the case where round sections having the same fineness are used and the weave density is equal. Moreover, if it is intended to design to the same air flow rate, the total fineness can be reduced, and a thin lightweight base fabric can be obtained.
[0009]
The flatness of the single yarn cross section in the present invention is defined by the ratio of the major axis to the minor axis when the single yarn cross section is approximated to an ellipse. The cross section does not have to be strictly an ellipse, and may have protrusions or depressions in part within a range that does not affect the overall flatness. In such a case, the flatness may be calculated by approximating an ellipse that does not impair the overall outer shape.
[0010]
In order to obtain the effect of the present invention, the flatness is required to be 3.5 or less, more preferably 2.5 or less. In particular, the cross section is preferably elliptical. If it is 3.5 or more, even if it is a flat cross section, the single yarn cross section tends to be located randomly when it is made into a woven fabric, and the gap in the fabric thickness direction becomes large. In addition, the probability that the major axis and the minor axis are in the same direction is reduced. Therefore, the effects of reducing the air flow and reducing the weight of the present invention cannot be obtained. Furthermore, the yarn-making property and the weaving property are deteriorated, and cracks and the like are liable to occur. In addition, the management of the nozzle in the spinning process becomes complicated.
[0011]
If the flatness is 3.5 or less as in the present invention, the fiber outer circumference becomes larger than the flatness 1, that is, the round cross section, the surface area increases, and even if the same coating solution is applied, the thickness of the applied resin layer Can be reduced, and the bending resistance can be increased while maintaining flexibility. Surprisingly, the bending resistance in the direction of the weft is almost equal, and the difference is 10% or less as the ratio of the warp / weft, and the storage property is further improved.
[0012]
FIG. 1 shows an example of a typical modified cross section in the present invention. Of course, these are representative examples and the present invention is not limited thereto. In FIG. 1, a is a major axis, b is a minor axis, and flatness is calculated as b / a.
[0013]
The resin applied to the high-density woven fabric of the present invention, without diluting the addition type silicone rubber coating with a solvent, 1~70g / m 2 Preferably, applying a coating amount of 1 to 30 g / m 2 It is formed by. As long as it is made of a base fabric made of filament yarns having a modified cross-section with a fineness of 165 to 550 dtex, it can be made into a base fabric for airbags that is thin and light, easy to fold, and excellent in storage. In addition, since the surface area of the filament yarn is increased by changing the shape of the filament yarn, gas leakage can be prevented with a thin coating film having a coating amount of 1 to 30 g / m 2 . For this reason, the weight can be reduced as compared with the conventional coat type. In addition to excellent surface smoothness, the airbag can be made more compact.
[0014]
Moreover, in the present invention, an addition type silicone rubber coating agent is good as a coating agent, and heat vulcanized silicone rubber, room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber, water-soluble emulsion silicone rubber and the like are also effective. Conventionally known chloroprene-based coating agents and urethane-based coating agents may be used, but silicon-based materials are preferable, and silicon-based materials are particularly preferable in the case of a base fabric made of flat yarn. Due to surface tension, the speed of spreading over the entire base fabric is high after application.
[0015]
The coating agent has a viscosity of 1 to 200 Pa · s, preferably 1 to 100 Pa · s. By applying with a knife coater, a thin and uniform coating film can be easily formed, preferably with a coating amount of 1 to 30 g / m 2 .
[0016]
As a method of applying a resin liquid to the surface of the obtained base fabric, there are gravure coating and printing with a resin having the above-mentioned characteristics, and as a method of applying the resin to the inside of the fabric, there is dipping. The means is not limited, but is determined so that the air permeability of the fabric laminated or provided with the resin satisfies 1.2 cm 3 / sec / cm 2 or less.
[0017]
The fineness of the warp and the weft constituting the high-density fabric of the present invention is substantially equal to each other, and the fineness of the single yarn constituting the weft is smaller than the fineness of the single yarn constituting the warp. Here, the fineness of the warp yarn and the weft yarn is “substantially equal” means that the fineness of the other yarn is within a range of −3% to + 3% based on the fineness of one of the warp yarn or the weft yarn. Indicates entering. Thus, by making the fineness of the warp and the weft substantially equal to each other, variations in the air permeability and strength of the base fabric are reduced, and the quality of the base fabric is stabilized. In addition, by making the fineness of the single yarn constituting the weft smaller than the fineness of the single yarn constituting the warp, the difference in the bending resistance between the width direction and the length direction of the base fabric is reduced, and the effect of low air permeability is achieved. As a result, the air flow can be further lowered by making the above-mentioned cross section irregular and further applying a resin. Generally, by making the fineness of the single yarn constituting the weft smaller than the fineness of the single yarn constituting the warp by 1.1 dtex or more, an effect is produced on the bending resistance and breathability of the base fabric. When the difference is 1.1 dtex or less, the bending resistance cannot be expected. It is preferable that there is a difference of 2.2 dtex or more.
[0018]
In the present invention, the fineness of the warp and the weft is preferably 165 to 550 dtex. If the fineness is less than 155 dtex, the basis weight of the base fabric is reduced, but the burst pressure (burst pressure) at the time of deployment becomes low, which causes a problem in terms of ensuring the safety of the passenger, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if it exceeds 550 dtex, the strength of the base fabric is improved, but the cost performance is deteriorated due to the light weight of the airbag, the high functionality of compactness, and the increase in the basis weight of the base fabric. More preferred warp and weft yarn denier is 275 to 495 dtex.
[0019]
In the present invention, the strength of the warp and the weft is preferably 6.4 g / dtex or more. If the strength is less than 6.4 g / dtex, the burst pressure (burst pressure) at the time of deployment becomes low, which causes a problem in terms of ensuring the safety of the passenger, which is not preferable. A more preferable strength is 8.8 g / dtex or more.
[0020]
Furthermore, in the present invention, when a polyamide fiber is employed as the synthetic filament yarn, it is preferable because the following characteristics are obtained as compared with polyester. That is, 1. Large heat retention 2. Large yarn strength and elongation, excellent stretchability (good post-processing passability and base fabric quality) 3. Small specific gravity (light weight and compactness), and 4. The modulus is low (softening). However, the conventional polyester fiber also has a comparatively disadvantageous thermal property, but in the future it will be possible to install it as an airbag by adopting the development of a low temperature inflator.
[0021]
Moreover, when using a polyamide fiber, it is particularly preferable to use a fiber satisfying the following characteristics in order to achieve the object of the present invention. That is: relative viscosity: ≧ 2.5, fineness: ≧ 155 dtex, strength: ≧ 6.4 g / dtex, cut elongation: ≦ 30%, hot water shrinkage: ≧ 5%, polyamide fiber strength of 6.4 g / By setting it as dtex or more, the strength of the base fabric can be improved. In order to obtain a yarn having a yarn strength of 6.4 g / dtex, a relative viscosity of 2.5 or more is required. A more preferable strength is 7.3 g / dtex or more, and a more preferable relative viscosity is 3.0 or more. The fineness of the polyamide fiber is preferably 150 denier or more, more preferably 275 dtex or more. If it is 155 dtex or less, the burst pressure (burst pressure) at the time of deployment becomes low when formed on an airbag, which is not preferable because a problem arises from the viewpoint of safety. Further, the cut elongation is preferably 30% or less from the viewpoint of improving the strength of the base fabric, and more preferably 25% or less. The hot water shrinkage rate is preferably 5% or more from the viewpoint of low air permeability of the base fabric, more preferably 8.0% or more.
[0022]
The high-density fabric for airbags of the present invention is a coated base fabric. Generally, the density of warps and wefts is 40 yarns / inch or more, the basis weight is 1 to 70 g / m 2 , and the thickness is 0.15 to 0.00. 40 mm, and air permeability is 1.2 cm 3 / sec / cm 2 or less. Breathable preferably airflow rate at pressure drop 1.27cm the fabric 1.2cm 3 / sec / cm 2 or less, more preferably if 0.7cm 3 / sec / cm 2. Here, the air permeability of the fabric is a value measured according to the JIS-L1096-6.27A method. That is, the amount of air passing through the test piece under a pressure of 1.27 cm of water is obtained. When the air flow rate exceeds 1.2 cm 3 / sec / cm 2 , it is not preferable because the instantaneous and reliable deployment capability of the airbag fabric is reduced.
[0023]
The high-density fabric for airbags of the present invention can be used as a high-density fabric of a permeable fabric or a non-permeable fabric.
