Description

本発明は高分子ファイバ生成用のノズルとこれを用いた高分子ファイバ生成装置に関し、例えば、多孔性高分子ウエブを多量に製造するのに好適で、高分子液を高電圧による電荷誘導にて、あるいはこれに遠心力を伴なって、高分子ファイバとして電子紡糸するための高分子ファイバ生成用のノズルに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a nozzle for producing a polymer fiber and a polymer fiber producing apparatus using the same, and is suitable, for example, for producing a large amount of a porous polymer web. or a centrifugal force is accompanied thereto, but relates to the nozzle for generating polymer fibers to electronic spun as a polymer fiber.

高分子の溶融物あるいは溶液を材料として紡糸するのに、機械的な押し出しに代る方法として、電荷誘導により紡糸する電荷誘導紡糸方法(エレクトロスピニング法)ないしは電子紡糸方法(例えば、特許文献1、2参照。)が既に知られている。電子紡糸方法では、ノズルないしキャピラリに高分子溶液を供給して線状に流出する高分子溶液がノズルなどを通じ帯電され、高分子溶液の溶媒の蒸発に伴ない帯電電荷間の距離が小さくなって作用するクーロン力が大きくなり、そのクーロン力が線状の高分子溶液の表面張力に勝った時点で線状の高分子溶液が爆発的に延伸される現象が得られ、しかも、この静電爆発と称される現象が一次、二次、三次と繰り返されることで、サブミクロンの直径を持った高分子ファイバ、いわゆるナノ繊維が作り出される。また、近時では繊維ではなく噴霧状に電子紡糸して高分子ファイバや微細な高分子粒子ないしは粉体を得ることも行われている。   In order to spin a polymer melt or solution as a material, a charge-induced spinning method (electrospinning method) or an electrospinning method (for example, Patent Literature 1, 2) is already known. In the electrospinning method, a polymer solution that is supplied linearly to a nozzle or capillary and is discharged linearly is charged through a nozzle or the like, and the distance between charged charges decreases as the solvent of the polymer solution evaporates. When the acting Coulomb force increases and the Coulomb force overcomes the surface tension of the linear polymer solution, a phenomenon that the linear polymer solution is stretched explosively is obtained. A phenomenon called “primary”, “secondary” and “tertiary” is repeated to create a polymer fiber having a sub-micron diameter, so-called nanofiber. In recent years, polymer fibers and fine polymer particles or powders are obtained by electrospinning in the form of spray instead of fibers.

さらに、電子防止する液体を帯電を伴い流出させる側の複数の流体離脱部間隔を1mm未満にまで集積化して、複数の流体離脱部から供給される流体を受取り側での電荷誘導により繊維にして受取ることで、高分子繊維を高効率に製造できるようにした技術も既に知られている(例えば、特許文献3参照。)。また、特許文献3は、流体離脱部と受取り側との距離を0.1cm以上、5cm以下の極めて小さい範囲に限定するのに併せ、流体離脱部の形状が凸であることが望ましいとし、その一例としてステンレスよりなる長さ50mm、250mmのキャピラリを挙げながら、ポリエチレンなどを用いた各種立体形態、平板形態、各種の形態を列挙し、流体はそれらの内部をキャピラリで通ってもよいし、底面から表面張力や重力、延伸張力などによって先端まで流体を誘導しても構わないとし、また、各流体離脱部位に溝を作って流体が通りやすくすることもでき、流体離脱部位の材質をポーラスにして内部から流体をしみ出させてもよく、これらの組み合わせを用いてもよいとしている。さらに、これら二次元平板を平行に二枚用い、その間隙を流体流路に使用することを可能とし、また、厚さ0.5mm以下の二等辺三角形のフィルムをキャピラリ先端に取り付け、表面張力によって流体を三角形の頂点に導く方法もあり、二等辺三角形の底辺は100ミクロン以下が好ましく、先端角は60〜120°が好ましいとしている。

Further, the intervals between the plurality of fluid separation portions on the side where the liquid for preventing electrons flows out with charging are integrated to less than 1 mm, and the fluid supplied from the plurality of fluid separation portions is made into fibers by charge induction on the receiving side. A technology that enables high-efficiency production of polymer fibers by receiving them is already known (see, for example, Patent Document 3). Further, Patent Document 3 states that it is desirable that the shape of the fluid detachment portion is convex, in addition to limiting the distance between the fluid detachment portion and the receiving side to an extremely small range of 0.1 cm to 5 cm. As an example, mentioning 50 mm and 250 mm long capillaries made of stainless steel, enumeration of various three-dimensional forms, flat plate forms, and various forms using polyethylene, etc. The fluid can be guided to the tip by surface tension, gravity, stretching tension, etc., and a groove can be formed in each fluid separation site to make the fluid easy to pass. The fluid may ooze out from the inside, or a combination of these may be used. Furthermore, two of these two-dimensional flat plates are used in parallel, and the gap can be used as a fluid flow path. Also, an isosceles triangle film with a thickness of 0.5 mm or less is attached to the capillary tip, and the surface tension There is also a method of guiding the fluid to the apex of the triangle. The base of the isosceles triangle is preferably 100 microns or less, and the tip angle is preferably 60 to 120 °.

ところで、本発明者はノズルを通じた高分子液の噴霧によるナノ繊維を多量に製造できるようにする開発をしており、特許文献3が開示している流体離脱部のようにノズルを高密度に配置することは確かに有効である。しかし、1つのノズルにおいていかに効率良く高分子ファイバを生成できるかが製造効率に大きく影響する。本発明者の開発上の経験から、高分子液のノズルからの流出効率と高分子液が流出するノズルの開口部への電荷の集中性とが重要な要因であることを知見している。高分子液のノズルを通過する抵抗の大きさや詰まりが流出効率に影響する上、ノズル開口が大きければ生成する高分子ファイバは細くなりにくい。また、電荷の開口部への集中率が低ければノズル開口から流出する高分子液に対する帯電率が低く静電爆発による延伸効果、電荷誘導効果が薄れ流出する高分子液がなす高分子ファイバの分散性、延伸性が低下する。特許文献3に記載のような金属製のキャピラリのように50mm、250mmと長いと高分子液が流出する開口部への電荷の集中率は高くなるが、高分子液の流出抵抗が大きく、詰まりも生じやすいため生産性は低い。また、特許文献3に記載の樹脂製のノズルであれば開口部への電荷の集中が望めず、それをノズルの長さを3mm以下に短くして高分子液の流出効率を高めようとすると3mmを上まわる場合と同じ電圧を印加しても生成できる高分子ファイバの量が少なくなり、この場合も生産性は上がらない。まして、特許文献3に記載の高分子液をしみ出させる方式では流出効率は著しく低下する。   By the way, the present inventor has been developing so that a large amount of nanofibers can be produced by spraying a polymer solution through the nozzle, and the nozzle is made dense like the fluid separation part disclosed in Patent Document 3. Arranging is certainly effective. However, how efficiently a polymer fiber can be produced with one nozzle greatly affects the production efficiency. From the development experience of the present inventor, it has been found that the outflow efficiency of the polymer liquid from the nozzle and the concentration of the charge at the nozzle opening through which the polymer liquid flows out are important factors. The magnitude and clogging of the resistance of the polymer solution passing through the nozzle affect the outflow efficiency, and if the nozzle opening is large, the generated polymer fiber is difficult to be thinned. In addition, if the concentration ratio of the charge at the opening is low, the charge rate of the polymer liquid flowing out from the nozzle opening is low, and the effect of stretching due to electrostatic explosion, the dispersion of the polymer fiber formed by the flowing polymer liquid is weakened by the charge induction effect. And stretchability are reduced. When the length is as long as 50 mm or 250 mm as in a metal capillary as described in Patent Document 3, the concentration ratio of charges to the opening through which the polymer solution flows out increases, but the outflow resistance of the polymer solution is large and clogging occurs. Productivity is low. In addition, if the resin nozzle described in Patent Document 3 is used, the concentration of electric charge on the opening cannot be expected, and if the nozzle length is shortened to 3 mm or less, the outflow efficiency of the polymer liquid is increased. Even when the same voltage as that exceeding 3 mm is applied, the amount of polymer fiber that can be generated is reduced, and in this case, productivity is not increased. In addition, in the method of exuding the polymer solution described in Patent Document 3, the outflow efficiency is significantly reduced.

本発明の目的は、多量の高分子ファイバを製造するのに好適な高分子ファイバ生成用のノズルを提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a Nozzle suitable polymeric fiber product to produce a large amount of the polymer fiber.

上記のような目的を達成するために、本発明、高分子液を高電圧による帯電を伴い小孔から流出させて、少なくとも静電爆発による延伸を伴い高分子ファイバを生成する高分子ファイバ生成用のノズルにおいて、基部側の高電圧印加部から小孔開口部までの少なくとも外面層をなし、小孔から流出する高分子液を高電圧に帯電させる導電性部分を有し、導電性部分がなす外面は高電圧印加部から小孔開口部に向かい所定の印加電圧集中距離を満足して細くなり小孔開口部を電荷集中部としたことを特徴としている。 In order to achieve the above-described object, the present invention provides a polymer fiber producing method in which a polymer liquid is caused to flow out of a small hole accompanied by charging with a high voltage, and a polymer fiber is produced at least with stretching due to electrostatic explosion. A nozzle having a conductive portion for forming at least an outer surface layer from a high voltage application portion on the base side to a small hole opening, and charging the polymer liquid flowing out from the small hole to a high voltage. The outer surface formed is narrow from the high voltage application portion toward the small hole opening satisfying a predetermined applied voltage concentration distance, and the small hole opening serves as a charge concentration portion.

このような特徴によれば、高分子液を高電圧による帯電を伴いノズルの小孔から流出させて、少なくとも静電爆発による延伸を伴い高分子ファイバを生成するのに、ノズルの高電圧印加部から小孔の開口まわりまでが導電性で電荷を伝達しやすくし、しかも、高電圧印加部から小孔の開口部に向け細くなって開口部が電荷を集中させやすい電荷集中部としてあることにより、比較的短い印加電圧集中距離にて小孔の開口への電荷の集中が実現し流出する高分子液に対する帯電効果を高められ、印加電圧集中距離を短くできる分だけ高分子液のノズルからの流出抵抗を低減することができる。また、必要に応じノズルの外面層を導電性材料とし内面層を導電性材料よりも高分子液との離型性のよい異種材料とすることができる。   According to such a feature, the high-voltage application unit of the nozzle is used to cause the polymer liquid to flow out of the small hole of the nozzle with charging by a high voltage and to generate a polymer fiber at least with stretching by electrostatic explosion. From the high-voltage application part to the small hole opening, the opening is made as a charge concentrating part that tends to concentrate the electric charge. , The concentration of charge at the aperture of the small hole is realized at a relatively short applied voltage concentration distance, and the charging effect on the flowing polymer solution is enhanced, and the applied voltage concentration distance from the nozzle of the polymer solution can be shortened as much as possible. Outflow resistance can be reduced. Further, if necessary, the outer surface layer of the nozzle can be made of a conductive material, and the inner surface layer can be made of a different material having a better releasability from the polymer liquid than the conductive material.

さらに、電荷集中部は、小孔の開口のまわりの少なくとも周方向1箇所から高分子液の流出方向に延びた突片を持っていることを特徴としている。   Furthermore, the charge concentrating portion is characterized in that it has a projecting piece extending in at least one circumferential direction around the small hole opening in the outflow direction of the polymer solution.

このような特徴によれば、ノズルの開口部がなす電荷集中部から延びる突片により、閉路をなさず高分子液の流出抵抗を特に増大させずに、従って、詰まりの原因とならないで、開口部の電荷集中部を延長して流出する高分子液に対する帯電性を高められる。 According to this feature, the protrusion extending from the charge concentration unit formed by opening Roh nozzle, without particularly increasing the outflow resistance of the polymer solution without done the closure, therefore, is not a cause of clogging, The chargeability of the polymer solution flowing out by extending the charge concentration portion of the opening can be enhanced.

本発明の高分子ファイバ生成用のノズルによれば、高分子液を高電圧による帯電を伴いノズルの小孔から流出させて、少なくとも静電爆発による延伸を伴い高分子ファイバを生成するのに、導電性による電荷の伝達性を活かした高電圧印加部から小孔の開口部までの印加電圧集中距離を短くして高分子液の流出抵抗を低減して詰まりのない安定した流出を実現しながら、開口部に向け細くなった形状により開口部を電荷集中部として流出する高分子液を効率良く帯電させられるので、強くかつ繰り返し回収の多い静電爆発を利用した高分子ファイバの生成量、延伸性、さらには電荷誘導による延伸性、飛翔距離を高められる。   According to the nozzle for producing the polymer fiber of the present invention, the polymer liquid is discharged from the small hole of the nozzle with charging with a high voltage, and at least with stretching due to electrostatic explosion, the polymer fiber is produced. While realizing the stable outflow without clogging by shortening the applied voltage concentration distance from the high voltage applying part to the opening of the small hole by taking advantage of the electric charge transfer property due to conductivity to reduce the outflow resistance of the polymer liquid Because the polymer liquid that flows out with the opening as a charge concentration part can be charged efficiently due to the narrow shape toward the opening, the amount of polymer fiber generated and stretched using electrostatic explosion that is strong and often collected repeatedly , And further, stretchability and flight distance by charge induction can be improved.

以下、本発明の実施の形態に係る高分子ファイバ生成用のノズルとこれを用いた高分子ファイバ生成装置について図1〜図8を参照しながら説明し、本発明の理解に供する。   Hereinafter, a polymer fiber generating nozzle and a polymer fiber generating apparatus using the same according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8 for the understanding of the present invention.

図1(a)に示すように高分子ファイバ生成用のノズル1は、容器2などの電子紡糸系に設けられて高電圧発生部3から例えば1KV〜100KV程度の高電圧V1を印加され、容器2内の高分子液4を帯電を伴い小孔5から流出させて、少なくとも静電爆発による延伸を伴い高分子ファイバを生成する高分子ファイバ生成装置10を構成する。   As shown in FIG. 1 (a), a nozzle 1 for producing a polymer fiber is provided in an electrospinning system such as a container 2, and a high voltage V1 of about 1 KV to 100 KV, for example, is applied from a high voltage generator 3 to the container 1. The polymer liquid 4 in 2 is discharged from the small hole 5 with charging, and a polymer fiber generating device 10 is formed that generates a polymer fiber with stretching at least by electrostatic explosion.

ここで、高分子液4は、特許文献1、2などで知られるような様々な高分子、例えばポリフッ化ビニリデン(FVDF)、ポリフッ化ビニリデン−コ−ヘキサフルオロプロピレン、ポリアクリロニトリルといった石油系等の様々な高分子が適用可能であり、これらの共重合体および混合物といったものの溶融し、または任意の溶媒にて溶解された高分子を含む。   Here, the polymer liquid 4 is a variety of polymers as known in Patent Documents 1 and 2, such as petroleum-based polymers such as polyvinylidene fluoride (FVDF), polyvinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene, and polyacrylonitrile. A variety of polymers are applicable, including polymers such as copolymers and mixtures thereof melted or dissolved in any solvent.

本実施の形態のノズル1は、図1に示す例、図2に示す例、図3に示す例、図4に示す例のように、共通して、全体が導電性材料よりなる場合を含み、基部1a側の高電圧印加部1bから小孔5の開口部1cまでが少なくとも外面層をなし、小孔5から流出する高分子液4を高電圧に帯電させる導電性部分を有した本体を持ち、導電性部分がなす外面は高電圧印加部1bから小孔5の開口部1cに向かい所定の印加電圧集中距離Lを満足して細くなり小孔5の開口部1cを電荷集中部とした基本構成を有している。これにより、高分子液4を高電圧による帯電を伴いノズル1の小孔5から流出させて、少なくとも静電爆発による延伸を伴い高分子ファイバを生成するのに、ノズル1の高電圧印加部1bから小孔5の開口まわりまでが導電性で電荷を伝達しやすくし、しかも、高電圧印加部1bから小孔5の開口部1cに向け細くなって開口部1cが電荷を集中させやすい電荷集中部としてあることにより、比較的短い印加電圧集中距離Lにて小孔5の開口部1cへの電荷の集中が実現し流出する高分子液4に対する帯電効果を高められ、印加電圧集中距離Lを短くできる分だけ高分子液4のノズル1からの流出抵抗を低減することができる。   The nozzle 1 of the present embodiment includes the case where the whole is made of a conductive material in common, such as the example shown in FIG. 1, the example shown in FIG. 2, the example shown in FIG. 3, and the example shown in FIG. A main body having a conductive portion for charging the polymer liquid 4 flowing out from the small hole 5 to a high voltage is formed from at least the outer surface layer from the high voltage applying unit 1b on the base 1a side to the opening 1c of the small hole 5. The outer surface formed by the conductive portion is narrowed from the high voltage application portion 1b toward the opening 1c of the small hole 5 to satisfy a predetermined applied voltage concentration distance L, and the opening 1c of the small hole 5 is used as the charge concentration portion. Has a basic configuration. As a result, the polymer solution 4 flows out from the small hole 5 of the nozzle 1 with charging by a high voltage, and a polymer fiber is generated at least with stretching by electrostatic explosion. From the high voltage application part 1b to the opening part 1c of the small hole 5, the opening part 1c tends to concentrate the electric charge. As a result, the concentration of charges on the opening 1c of the small hole 5 is realized at a relatively short applied voltage concentration distance L, and the charging effect on the polymer liquid 4 flowing out is enhanced. The outflow resistance of the polymer solution 4 from the nozzle 1 can be reduced by the amount that can be shortened.

この結果、導電性による電荷の伝達性を活かした高電圧印加部1bから小孔5の開口部1cまでの印加電圧集中距離Lを短くして高分子液4の流出抵抗を低減して詰まりのない安定した流出を実現しながら、開口部1cに向け細くなった形状により開口部1cを電荷集中部として流出する高分子液4を効率良く帯電させられるので、強く繰り返し回数の多い静電爆発を利用した高分子ファイバの生成量、延伸性、さらには高分子ファイバ生成装置10において捕集体7をノズル1とは逆極性の高電圧V2に帯電させるか図1(a)に示すようにアース8に接続した高分子上部製造装置20とすることによる電荷誘導にて延伸性、飛翔距離を高められる。従って、生成した高分子ファイバを捕集して多孔性の高分子ウエブとするのに多孔性、高密度化に好適で、生産性も向上する。なお、捕集体7は停止したものでも、コンベアなどの移動体でもよい。   As a result, the applied voltage concentration distance L from the high voltage application portion 1b utilizing the electric charge transferability due to the conductivity to the opening portion 1c of the small hole 5 is shortened to reduce the outflow resistance of the polymer solution 4 and to prevent clogging. The polymer liquid 4 that flows out with the opening 1c as a charge concentrating portion can be efficiently charged by the shape narrowed toward the opening 1c while realizing a stable and stable outflow. The amount of polymer fiber used, stretchability, and the polymer fiber generator 10 is used to charge the collector 7 to a high voltage V2 having a polarity opposite to that of the nozzle 1 or as shown in FIG. The stretchability and the flight distance can be improved by charge induction by using the polymer upper production apparatus 20 connected to. Therefore, the produced polymer fiber is collected to form a porous polymer web, which is suitable for increasing the porosity and the density and improving the productivity. The collecting body 7 may be stopped or a moving body such as a conveyor.

ノズル1の高電圧印加部1bから小孔開口部1cに向けた先細り形状は、円形なテーパ形状としてあるが、これに限られることはない。例えば、図のテーパ面を凹楕円面や凸楕円面などとすることができる。   The tapered shape of the nozzle 1 from the high voltage application portion 1b toward the small hole opening portion 1c is a circular taper shape, but is not limited thereto. For example, the tapered surface in the figure can be a concave elliptical surface or a convex elliptical surface.

また、導電性材料は黄銅などを採用しているが、これに限られることはない。導電性材料が部分的な例のノズル1では、必要に応じノズル1の外面層を導電性材料とし内面層を導電性材料よりも高分子液との離型性のよい異種材料とすることができ、全体が導電性部材よりなる場合は単体として簡単に製作できコストの低減が図れる。   Moreover, although the brass etc. are employ | adopted as an electroconductive material, it is not restricted to this. In the nozzle 1 in which the conductive material is a partial example, the outer surface layer of the nozzle 1 may be a conductive material, and the inner surface layer may be made of a different material having better releasability from the polymer liquid than the conductive material, if necessary. In the case where the whole is made of a conductive member, it can be easily manufactured as a single unit and the cost can be reduced.

さらに、小孔5の開口面積A1に比べ小孔5の背部に繋がる高分子液供給路6の通路断面積A2の方が大きくなる詰まり緩和形状を有したものとしている。これにより、小孔5の開口面積A1をナノ単位など所定の細さの高分子ファイバを生成できる小面積にして、その小孔5に繋がる背部の高分子液供給路6が小孔5の開口面積A1に比べ大きな通路断面積A2を有した詰まり緩和形状をなして高分子液4の小孔5に向けた流出抵抗を軽減し小孔5からより詰まりなく流出させられる。それには、小孔5の長さL1は図1(a)に示す例のように大きくするよりは、図2(a)に示すように小さくする方が有利で、図3(a)に示すように長さL1をゼロとするのがより好適である。   Furthermore, it has a clogging relief shape in which the passage cross-sectional area A2 of the polymer liquid supply passage 6 connected to the back of the small hole 5 is larger than the opening area A1 of the small hole 5. Thereby, the opening area A1 of the small hole 5 is made small enough to generate a polymer fiber having a predetermined thinness such as a nano unit, and the polymer liquid supply path 6 at the back connected to the small hole 5 is opened to the small hole 5. The clogging relief shape having a larger passage cross-sectional area A2 than the area A1 is formed, the outflow resistance of the polymer liquid 4 toward the small holes 5 is reduced, and the small holes 5 can flow out without clogging. For this purpose, it is more advantageous to make the length L1 of the small hole 5 smaller as shown in FIG. 2A than to increase the length L1 as shown in FIG. 1A, as shown in FIG. Thus, it is more preferable to set the length L1 to zero.

また、高分子液供給路6の詰まり緩和形状は、小孔5の内開口から背部に向かって通路断面積が増大する形状とし、小孔5に向け通路断面積が徐々に小さくなりながら段部なく小孔5に繋がり、ノズル1を通じ流出させ供給する高分子液4をスムーズに小孔5から流出させられる。さらに具体的には詰まり緩和形状は円形なテーパ面としてある。しかし、これに限られることはない。例えば、図示するテーパ面を凹楕円面にしたり凸楕円面にしたりすることができる。   The clogging relief shape of the polymer liquid supply path 6 is a shape in which the passage cross-sectional area increases from the inner opening of the small hole 5 toward the back portion, and the step portion is formed while the passage cross-sectional area gradually decreases toward the small hole 5. The polymer liquid 4 that is connected to the small hole 5 and flows out through the nozzle 1 is smoothly flowed out of the small hole 5. More specifically, the clogging relief shape is a circular tapered surface. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the illustrated tapered surface can be a concave ellipsoid or a convex ellipsoid.

図4に示す例では、特に、電荷集中部をなす小孔開口部1cは、小孔5の開口のまわりの少なくとも周方向1箇所から高分子液4の流出方向、つまりノズル1の軸線上前方に延びた突片1dを持ったものとしている。このようにすると、ノズル1の開口部1cがなす電荷集中部から延びる突片1dにより、閉路をなさず高分子液4の流出抵抗を特に増大させずに、従って、詰まりの原因とならないで、開口部1cでの電荷集中部を延長して流出する高分子液4に対する帯電性を高められる。このような突片1dにより帯電効果を高める場合、複数の突片1dを周方向に均等配置することで帯電の偏りを防止しやすくなる。突片1dの数が多いほど帯電性能の向上および偏り防止は図れるが、流出抵抗が高まるので、必要に応じ条件選択をすればよい。特に、本例では小孔5の長さL1がゼロの条件で突片1dを設けてあるので、突片1dを図示のように延設しても高分子液4の流出抵抗は低く抑えられ、突片1dを複数設けやすくなる。   In the example shown in FIG. 4, the small hole opening 1 c forming the charge concentrating portion is in particular the flow direction of the polymer solution 4 from at least one circumferential direction around the small hole 5, that is, the front on the axis of the nozzle 1. It is assumed to have a protruding piece 1d extending in the direction. In this way, the projecting piece 1d extending from the charge concentration portion formed by the opening 1c of the nozzle 1 does not close the circuit and does not particularly increase the outflow resistance of the polymer solution 4, and therefore does not cause clogging. The chargeability of the polymer liquid 4 flowing out by extending the charge concentration portion in the opening 1c can be enhanced. In the case where the charging effect is enhanced by such a projecting piece 1d, it is easy to prevent a bias in charging by arranging the plurality of projecting pieces 1d evenly in the circumferential direction. The larger the number of projecting pieces 1d, the more the charging performance can be improved and the bias can be prevented. However, since the outflow resistance increases, the condition may be selected as necessary. In particular, in this example, since the protruding piece 1d is provided under the condition that the length L1 of the small hole 5 is zero, the outflow resistance of the polymer solution 4 can be kept low even if the protruding piece 1d is extended as shown in the figure. It becomes easy to provide a plurality of protruding pieces 1d.

ここで、本発明者が実験において知見した印加電荷集中距離Lと生成される高分子ファイバの本数との相関性について説明すると、図5に示すような関係が成立している。印加電圧集中距離Lを1mm〜5mm程度まで1mm単位に大きくしたノズル1を試用して、他は同じ条件で高分子ファイバを生成したところ、1mm〜3mmに至るまで生成される高分子ファイバの本数はほぼ比例して増大し、3mmを超えると生成される高分子ファイバの本数は若干の上昇を見せていくがほぼ横ばいとなる。このような1mm〜3mmまでの印加電圧集中距離Lの増大に伴なう電荷集中による流出高分子液4に対する帯電効率の高まりが高分子ファイバの生成本数の増大となり、3mmを超えてから高分子ファイバの生成本数の横ばい傾向は帯電効率の増大にかかわらず、ノズル1が長くなる分高分子液4の流出が抑制されることの影響と見られる。   Here, the correlation between the applied charge concentration distance L and the number of polymer fibers to be generated, which the inventor has found in experiments, will be described as shown in FIG. The number of polymer fibers produced from 1 mm to 3 mm was obtained by using the nozzle 1 in which the applied voltage concentration distance L was increased to about 1 mm to 5 mm in increments of 1 mm, and polymer fibers were produced under the same conditions. Increases substantially proportionally, and when it exceeds 3 mm, the number of polymer fibers produced shows a slight increase but becomes almost flat. The increase in charging efficiency with respect to the outflowing polymer liquid 4 due to the charge concentration accompanying the increase in the applied voltage concentration distance L from 1 mm to 3 mm increases the number of polymer fibers produced, and the polymer exceeds 3 mm. The tendency for the number of fibers to be leveled off is considered to be the effect of suppressing the outflow of the polymer solution 4 as the nozzle 1 becomes longer regardless of the increase in charging efficiency.

なお、図5においてファイバー本数の測定については、所定時間内に発生するファイバーの重さで実験を行ったものである。   In FIG. 5, the measurement of the number of fibers is an experiment conducted with the weight of fibers generated within a predetermined time.

したがって、ノズル1の印加電力集中距離Lは3mm以上であればよいが、流出抵抗の増大や詰まりの防止上からは10mm以下とするのが好適である。特に、印加電力集中距離Lが3mmを下限とする短かなノズル1で開口部1cへの電荷集中を満足し、高分子液4をより抵抗少なく詰まらないように安定して流出させられる。これにより、ノズル1を多数用いるときのコストの低減や軽量化にも有利になる。   Therefore, the applied power concentration distance L of the nozzle 1 may be 3 mm or more, but is preferably 10 mm or less from the viewpoint of increasing the outflow resistance and preventing clogging. In particular, the short nozzle 1 whose applied power concentration distance L has a lower limit of 3 mm satisfies the charge concentration in the opening 1c, and the polymer solution 4 can be stably discharged so as not to clog with less resistance. Thereby, it becomes advantageous also for cost reduction and weight reduction when many nozzles 1 are used.

なお、前記高分子液4の供給は図1(a)に示すようにポンプ11によって高分子液供給管22を通じ容器2内に圧送し、高分子液4を加圧して小孔5から噴霧させることにより、高分子液4を加圧も加えさらに速く多量に小孔5から噴霧状に流出させるのが高分子ファイバ生成のさらなる微細化、生成量の増大に好適である。この場合、小孔5の開口面積A1をなす直径はナノ単位の高分子ファイバを生成するのに0.1mm〜0.9mm程度の範囲に設定して好適であり、開口部1cの面積A3をなす直径は当然小孔5の開口面積A1をなす直径よりも大きくなるが、流出する高分子液4に対する帯電効率を高めるためにはできるだけ小さくするのが好適である。また、高分子液供給路6の通路断面積A3をなす直径は開口面積A1をなす直径よりも大きくするが、後端で大きくする方が清掃しやすい。しかし、ノズル1の配列ピッチを小さくする面からは後端の外径に影響することを考えて最大で10mm程度とするのが好適で、後端の図1(c)に示す面積A4をなす直径は12mm程度として好適となる。   The supply of the polymer solution 4 is pumped into the container 2 through the polymer solution supply pipe 22 by the pump 11 as shown in FIG. 1A, and the polymer solution 4 is pressurized and sprayed from the small holes 5. Accordingly, it is suitable for further refinement of polymer fiber generation and increase in the generation amount that the polymer solution 4 is also pressurized and flowed out more quickly and in a large amount from the small holes 5. In this case, the diameter forming the opening area A1 of the small hole 5 is preferably set in a range of about 0.1 mm to 0.9 mm in order to produce a nano-unit polymer fiber, and the area A3 of the opening 1c is set to be small. The diameter formed is naturally larger than the diameter forming the opening area A1 of the small hole 5, but it is preferable to make it as small as possible in order to increase the charging efficiency with respect to the polymer liquid 4 flowing out. Moreover, although the diameter which makes passage cross-sectional area A3 of the polymer solution supply path 6 is made larger than the diameter which makes opening area A1, it is easier to clean when making it large at a rear end. However, in consideration of the influence on the outer diameter of the rear end in terms of reducing the arrangement pitch of the nozzles 1, it is preferable that the maximum is about 10 mm, and the area A4 shown in FIG. The diameter is preferably about 12 mm.

以上のようなノズル1を用いた高分子ファイバ生成装置10として、図1(a)に示すように、高分子液4を高電圧発生部3からの高電圧V1による帯電を伴い容器2の小孔5から流出させて、少なくとも静電爆発による延伸を伴い高分子ファイバを生成する高分子ファイバ生成装置において、既述したような高分子ファイバ生成用のノズル1を複数容器2に設けてそれぞれが小孔5を形成している構成とするのが好適である。このように、高分子ファイバ生成用のノズル1が容器2に複数設けられることで、ノズル1それぞれの種類に応じた上記各特性を活かしながら複数箇所から高分子ファイバを同時に生成することができる。従って、高分子ファイバの単位時間当りの生成量をさらに高められる。それには、図6に示す例、図7に示す例、図8に示す例のように容器2により多くのノズル1を設けるのが好適である。   As a polymer fiber production apparatus 10 using the nozzle 1 as described above, as shown in FIG. 1A, the polymer liquid 4 is charged with the high voltage V1 from the high voltage generator 3 and the container 2 is small. In a polymer fiber generating device that flows out of the hole 5 and generates a polymer fiber accompanied by at least stretching by electrostatic explosion, a plurality of nozzles 1 for polymer fiber generation as described above are provided in a plurality of containers 2, respectively. It is preferable that the small holes 5 are formed. Thus, by providing a plurality of nozzles 1 for polymer fiber generation in the container 2, polymer fibers can be simultaneously generated from a plurality of locations while taking advantage of the above characteristics according to the type of each nozzle 1. Accordingly, the amount of polymer fiber produced per unit time can be further increased. For this purpose, it is preferable to provide more nozzles 1 in the container 2 as in the example shown in FIG. 6, the example shown in FIG. 7, and the example shown in FIG.

特に、図6に示す例の停止したままの容器2に設けるのに対し、図7に示す例、図8に示す例のように回転駆動される容器2の外周に設ける構成とすることにより、容器2の外周に設けたノズル1の小孔5からの遠心力による高分子液4の流出と、流出した高分子液4の遠心力と静電爆発による延伸とを伴い高分子ファイバを生成することになるので、ノズルからの高分子液の流出に遠心力が働いて流出量、延伸性が高まる分だけ高分子ファイバの生成量が増加し、複数のノズル1による並行した高分子ファイバの生成と相俟って、高分子ファイバの生成量をさらに高められる。なお、図7に示す例、図8に示す例のいずれも、容器2の軸線方向の一端側に流出した高分子液4がなす高分子ファイバの帯電極性と同極性に帯電させた反射部材を配置することで、連続して生成される高分子ファイバを容器2の軸線方向の他端側に向けて飛翔させ、図示しない逆極性に帯電されるかアースに接続された捕集体などへの捕集効率を高められるが、図7に示す例の横向に設置した容器2の場合、軸線方向他端側での捕集は重力に打ち勝って行う必要があるが、図8に示す例の縦向きの例では生成される高分子ファイバを反射部材により下向きに飛翔させることで、重力作用をも捕集効率を高めるのに有効利用できる利点がある。図7の例、図8の例、図9の例では給電路17を容器2の全面を被覆するように設けてあり、給電路17がノズル1の高電圧印加部1bの全周に接続されるので、電圧の印加効率が向上する。それには容器2の全面を被覆するように設ける必要はなく、ノズル1が並ぶ領域にのみに設けるように外部給電源である高電圧発生部3との接続位置から分岐形成してもよい。しかし、場合によってはノズル1の高電圧印加部1bの周方向の一部どうしを接続し合うライン状に形成することもできる。   In particular, it is provided on the outer periphery of the container 2 that is rotationally driven as in the example shown in FIG. 7 and the example shown in FIG. The polymer fiber 4 is generated by the outflow of the polymer liquid 4 due to the centrifugal force from the small hole 5 of the nozzle 1 provided on the outer periphery of the container 2 and the centrifugal force of the outflowed polymer liquid 4 and stretching due to electrostatic explosion. As a result, the amount of polymer fiber generated is increased by the amount of centrifugal force acting on the outflow of the polymer solution from the nozzle, and the outflow amount and stretchability are increased. With this, the amount of polymer fiber produced can be further increased. In both the example shown in FIG. 7 and the example shown in FIG. 8, the reflecting member charged to the same polarity as the charged polarity of the polymer fiber formed by the polymer solution 4 flowing out to one end side in the axial direction of the container 2 is used. By arranging, the continuously generated polymer fiber is caused to fly toward the other end side of the container 2 in the axial direction, and is collected in a collector or the like that is charged with a reverse polarity (not shown) or connected to the ground. Although the collection efficiency can be increased, in the case of the container 2 installed in the horizontal direction in the example shown in FIG. 7, the collection at the other end in the axial direction needs to overcome gravity, but the vertical direction in the example shown in FIG. 8. In this example, there is an advantage that the gravitational action can be effectively used to increase the collection efficiency by flying the generated polymer fiber downward by the reflecting member. In the example of FIG. 7, the example of FIG. 8, and the example of FIG. 9, the power supply path 17 is provided so as to cover the entire surface of the container 2, and the power supply path 17 is connected to the entire circumference of the high voltage application unit 1 b of the nozzle 1. Therefore, the voltage application efficiency is improved. For this purpose, it is not necessary to cover the entire surface of the container 2, and it may be branched from the connection position with the high voltage generator 3, which is an external power supply, so as to be provided only in the region where the nozzles 1 are arranged. However, depending on the case, it can also form in the shape of a line which connects part of the circumferential direction of the high voltage application part 1b of the nozzle 1 mutually.

このように回転駆動する容器2を備えた高分子ファイバ生成装置10としては、図7の例で代表にして示せば、容器2をモータ12などで回転駆動する駆動手段13と、ノズル1の高電圧印加部1bに高電圧発生部3から高電圧を印加させる高電圧印加手段14と、容器2に高分子液4をポンプ11などにより供給し容器2の小孔5から少なくとも容器2の回転駆動による遠心力にて流出させる高分子液供給手段15と、駆動手段13、高電圧印加手段14、高分子液供給手段15を設定に従い制御する制御手段16とを備えた構成とすればよく、制御手段16が制御プログラムと記憶データの基に初期設定や作業者が操作パネル18から入力する設定などに従い、容器2の駆動手段13、高電圧印加手段14、高分子液供給手段15を制御して設定通りの高分子ファイバを設定通りに安定して自動的に生成することができる。なお、捕集手段を設けて高分子ウエブ製造装置とするのに制御対象がある場合はその制御対象も制御手段16によって制御すればよい。   As a polymer fiber production apparatus 10 provided with the container 2 that is rotationally driven as described above, as representatively shown in the example of FIG. 7, the drive means 13 that rotationally drives the container 2 with a motor 12 or the like, and the height of the nozzle 1 A high voltage applying means 14 for applying a high voltage from the high voltage generating section 3 to the voltage applying section 1b, and a polymer solution 4 is supplied to the container 2 by a pump 11 or the like, and at least the container 2 is rotationally driven from the small hole 5 of the container 2. The polymer liquid supply means 15 that flows out by the centrifugal force of the above, the drive means 13, the high voltage application means 14, and the control means 16 that controls the polymer liquid supply means 15 according to the setting may be used. The means 16 controls the drive means 13, the high voltage application means 14, and the polymer solution supply means 15 of the container 2 according to the initial setting based on the control program and the stored data, or the settings input by the operator from the operation panel 18. It can automatically generate a polymer fiber configuration as stably set as Te. In addition, when there is a control target for providing the collecting means to form the polymer web manufacturing apparatus, the control target may be controlled by the control means 16.

最後に、図1〜図4、図6〜図8に示す各例のいずれの場合も、高電圧印加手段14は、図1(a)で代表して示すように容器2上の給電路17にて1つの外部給電源である高電圧発生部3とノズル1の高電圧印加部1bとを繋ぐようにしている。これにより、複数のノズル1は容器2の外面において高電圧印加部1bから先端の開口部1cまでが突出して、容器2上に設けた給電路17にてそれぞれの高電圧印加部1bが1つの外部給電源としての高電圧発生部3に全て接続されて高電圧の印加を一挙に受けられる。特に、ノズル1は図1(a)に示すように、基部1a側が高電圧印加部1bまで埋め込まれ、容器2の外面に層形成された給電路17に高電圧印加部1bが接続した状態となるようにしてある。これにより、ノズル1は容器2の外面において高電圧印加部1bから先端の開口部1cまでが突出するように埋め込み保持されるだけで、容器2上に設けた給電路17にて高電圧印加部1bが外部給電源である高電圧発生部3に接続されて高電圧の印加を受けられる。   Finally, in each of the examples shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 and FIGS. 6 to 8, the high voltage applying means 14 is connected to the power supply path 17 on the container 2 as representatively shown in FIG. The high voltage generating unit 3 that is one external power supply and the high voltage applying unit 1b of the nozzle 1 are connected to each other. As a result, the plurality of nozzles 1 protrude from the high voltage application unit 1 b to the opening 1 c at the tip on the outer surface of the container 2, and each high voltage application unit 1 b has one power supply path 17 provided on the container 2. All are connected to the high voltage generator 3 as an external power supply and can receive a high voltage all at once. In particular, as shown in FIG. 1A, the nozzle 1 has a state in which the base 1a side is embedded up to the high voltage application unit 1b, and the high voltage application unit 1b is connected to a power supply path 17 formed in a layer on the outer surface of the container 2. It is supposed to be. As a result, the nozzle 1 is simply embedded and held on the outer surface of the container 2 so that the high voltage application section 1b protrudes from the opening 1c at the tip, and the high voltage application section is provided in the power supply path 17 provided on the container 2. 1b is connected to a high voltage generator 3 which is an external power supply and can receive a high voltage.

さらに、ノズル1は図1(a)に示すように、基部1a側が高電圧印加部1bまで容器2に埋め込まれ、容器2の外面に層形成された給電路17に高電圧印加部1bが接続した状態となるようにしている。これにより、ノズル1は容器2の外面において高電圧印加部1bから先端の開口部1cまでが突出するように埋め込み保持されるだけで、容器2上に設けた給電路17にて高電圧印加部1bが外部給電源である高電圧発生部3に接続されて高電圧の印加を受けられる利点がある。また、ノズル1は、容器2の壁に着脱できるように装着されていると、取り外しての洗浄や交換といったメンテナンスができる。洗浄などは全部を取り外して交換しておき、別の場所にて一括洗浄することができる。ノズル1の着脱できる容器2への装着は、図1(a)に示すように容器2の内面側から圧入すれば特別なシール構造なしに高分子液4の漏れを防止する装着ができ、加圧や遠心力で外部に抜け出ないようノズル1における基部1aの基端にフランジ1eを設けておけば不用意な脱落を防止できる。また、圧入に代えて微細ピッチでのねじ嵌合により装着することもできる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 1A, the nozzle 1 is embedded in the container 2 up to the high voltage applying part 1b on the base 1a side, and the high voltage applying part 1b is connected to the power supply path 17 formed in a layer on the outer surface of the container 2. I try to be in the state. As a result, the nozzle 1 is simply embedded and held on the outer surface of the container 2 so that the high voltage application section 1b protrudes from the opening 1c at the tip, and the high voltage application section is provided in the power supply path 17 provided on the container 2. There is an advantage that 1b is connected to the high voltage generator 3 which is an external power supply and can receive a high voltage. Further, when the nozzle 1 is mounted on the wall of the container 2 so as to be detachable, maintenance such as removal and cleaning can be performed. All of the cleaning etc. can be removed and replaced, and can be cleaned at a different location. As shown in FIG. 1A, the nozzle 1 can be attached to the removable container 2 by press-fitting from the inner surface side of the container 2 to prevent leakage of the polymer liquid 4 without any special sealing structure. If a flange 1e is provided at the base end of the base 1a of the nozzle 1 so that it does not escape to the outside due to pressure or centrifugal force, inadvertent removal can be prevented. Further, it can be mounted by screw fitting at a fine pitch instead of press-fitting.

なお、図7、図8に示す例の回転駆動される容器2の場合、図7の例で代表して示すように高分子液供給手段15は容器2の回転軸21内を縦通する非回転な高分子液供給管22によって容器2内に供給することになるが、回転軸21は容器2と共に樹脂などの絶縁体として図示しないベアリングにて軸受し、ベアリングの固定輪に一旦高電圧発生部3を接続し、内輪を容器2の表面の給電路17に接続することで容器2が回転することによる影響なしに、ノズル1と外部給電源である高電圧発生部3とを接続することができる。   In the case of the container 2 that is rotationally driven in the examples shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the polymer liquid supply means 15 is not vertically passed through the rotation shaft 21 of the container 2 as representatively shown in the example of FIG. 7. The rotating polymer liquid supply pipe 22 supplies the liquid into the container 2, but the rotating shaft 21 is supported by a bearing (not shown) as an insulator such as resin together with the container 2, and once a high voltage is generated on the fixed ring of the bearing. Connecting the nozzle 3 and the high voltage generator 3 that is an external power supply without connecting the part 3 and connecting the inner ring to the power feeding path 17 on the surface of the container 2 without the influence of the container 2 rotating. Can do.
