Technical Field

The present invention relates to an absorbent sheet comprising an absorbent polymer and a sheet, and to disposable wearing articles such as various disposable diapers comprising the absorbent sheet.

Background

Superabsorbent polymers, i.e., polymers commonly referred to as SAP, are used in various types of disposable diapers such as panties, loop fasteners, pads, and the like, sanitary napkins, light incontinence sheets, and the like.

The SAP is combined with the sheet in addition to being dispersed in the pulp layer or disposed on the surface.

Patent document 1 proposes the following structure: this structure enables the absorbent polymer to freely move from one end to the other end in the width direction of the diaper with the movement of the wearer's body, and enables the absorbent polymer to be efficiently used.

That is, the absorbent sheet has an upper surface sheet, a lower surface sheet, and an absorbent polymer positioned therebetween, and has a plurality of pockets whose peripheries are surrounded by joined portions and which have a shape having a major axis direction and a minor axis direction in a plan view, and the absorbent polymer is movably arranged in the major axis direction of the pockets.

However, the structure of patent document 1 is effective as a measure for changing the posture of a disposable diaper to the left or right due to turning over, for example, because the absorbent polymer is free to move in the bag, but even this is not considered effective in improving the absorption capacity of a desired region, for example, the crotch region.

Disclosure of Invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

Therefore, a main object of the present invention is to improve the absorption capacity by suppressing the excessive concentration (bias) of the absorption capacity of the entire target region when applied to a product.

Means for solving the problems

The absorbent sheet of the present invention for solving the above problems comprises an absorbent polymer disposed in a 1 st space region defined between and around a 1 st sheet and a 2 nd sheet,

a barrier portion is formed in the 1 st space region by joining the 1 st sheet and the 2 nd sheet, and the barrier portion increases resistance to gravitational movement of the absorbent polymer in the 1 st space region.

Since the stopper portion formed by joining the 1 st sheet and the 2 nd sheet in the 1 st space region increases the resistance to the gravitational movement of the absorbent polymer in the 1 st space region, when the absorbent sheet is applied to a wearing article, even if the absorbent polymer moves by the gravitational force due to the posture of the wearer, the resistance to the gravitational movement of the polymer can be increased by the stopper portion, and therefore, the polymer can be prevented from being concentrated on the side on the lower side of the gravitational movement, and the body fluid can be absorbed in a state where the polymer is dispersed as the entire 1 st space region, and thus, the absorption capacity can be prevented from being lowered.

For example, when the front-back direction of the disposable diaper is applied as the direction of gravitational movement of the absorbent polymer, the polymer tends to concentrate in the crotch portion due to gravitational movement in a standing posture, but since the stopper portion increases the resistance to gravitational movement of the polymer, the entire absorbent sheet can absorb body fluid, and a desired absorption capacity can be exhibited.

The barrier portions may be linear or dotted lines that cross the 1 st direction in a plan view, and two or more barrier portions may be provided at intervals in the 1 st direction to form a barrier portion row.

By providing more than two blocking portions, the blocking effect is increased.

The barrier column may also form a plurality of columns. That is, barrier rows that are divided into pairs in the 2 nd direction intersecting the 1 st direction may be formed in the 1 st space region.

In this aspect, the one end of the barrier of the one barrier row and the opposite other end of the barrier of the other barrier row are alternately arranged in the 1 st direction, and a spacer through which the absorbent polymer can pass may be formed between the end of the barrier of the one barrier row and the other end of the barrier of the other barrier row.

As a result, the absorbent polymer moves downward along the barrier section of one barrier section row, then transfers to the barrier section of the other barrier section row, and moves downward along the barrier section of the other barrier section row. This is repeated, moving in the direction of the action of gravity.

By changing the direction of movement in this manner alternately, the blocking effect by the blocking portion is increased, and the effect of preventing the polymer from being concentrated is improved.

Between the above-mentioned barrier in the barrier row and the delimiting part of the 1 st space region, a spacer through which the absorbent polymer can pass may be formed.

The side of the 1 st space region in the barrier on the demarcated portion side is likely to become a dead zone in the movement of the absorbent polymer.

However, if the spacer through which the absorbent polymer can pass is formed between the barrier and the 1 st space region, the absorbent polymer can be moved while suppressing the generation of dead space.

If a hook is formed at the end of the stopper, the hook can suppress the movement of the absorbent polymer.

When two or more 1 st space regions are formed at an interval in the 2 nd direction intersecting the 1 st direction in which the absorbent polymer moves by gravity in the 1 st space region, the barrier property of the entire absorbent sheet is improved.

That is, by forming many small spaces and forming the barriers in these small spaces, barrier properties as the whole absorbent sheet are improved, as compared with the case where the barriers are provided in the large spaces.

The present invention includes, in addition to the case of directly joining the 1 st sheet and the 2 nd sheet, the following cases and the like: a surrounding member for delimiting is provided between the 1 st sheet and the 2 nd sheet, and the 1 st sheet and the 2 nd sheet are joined with the member for delimiting being sandwiched therebetween, with the member for delimiting being a 1 st space region of the absorbent polymer in the member for delimiting.

In consideration of the manufacturing method, for example, the absorbent polymer may be spread on the 1 st sheet and then covered with the 2 nd sheet to realize the bonding for scribing. In this case, the absorbent polymer may be interposed between the 1 st sheet and the 2 nd sheet, which may make the joining difficult, whereas the following advantages can be expected if a member for definition is interposed: the 1 st space region of the absorbent polymer can be defined by the defining member, and the 1 st sheet and the 2 nd sheet can be easily and reliably bonded to each other.

The absorbent sheet may be disposed between a liquid-permeable sheet and a liquid-impermeable sheet to constitute a disposable wearing article.

In this case, if the front-back direction of the wearing article, for example, the disposable diaper, is aligned with the gravity movement direction of the absorbent polymer, the absorbent polymer can be moved to the crotch region where higher absorption capacity is desired, and therefore the absorption capacity as the wearing article can be improved.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION

As described above, according to the present invention, when applied to a product, the occurrence of excessive concentration of the absorption capacity as the whole target region can be suppressed, and thereby the absorption capacity can be improved.

Detailed Description

AS shown in fig. 1 and 2, in a specific example of the absorbent sheet AS of the present invention in which the above-described problems are solved, an absorbent polymer is provided in a 1 st space region 10 located between a 1 st sheet 1 and a 2 nd sheet 2 and defined by a surrounding defining portion 3.

In the 1 st space region 10, the barrier 4 is formed by joining the 1 st sheet 1 made of, for example, a nonwoven fabric and the 2 nd sheet 2 made of, for example, a nonwoven fabric or a liquid-impermeable sheet with, for example, a hot melt adhesive, and the barrier 4 increases the resistance to gravitational movement of the absorbent polymer in the 1 st space region 10.

In the 1 st space region 10, a barrier 4 generated by joining the 1 st sheet 1 and the 2 nd sheet 2 is formed, and as shown in the drawing, the absorbent polymer 5 is inhibited or prevented from being moved by gravity in a linear manner in the up-down direction (1 st direction (1)) of fig. 1 due to the presence of the barrier 4.

That is, the absorbent polymer 5 flows obliquely while moving along the barrier 4 of one row of rows in which the barriers 4 are formed in pairs in the vertical direction (the 1 st direction (1)), moves to the barrier 4 of the other row at the downstream end thereof, and moves in the vertical direction (the 1 st direction (1)) along the barrier 4.

Thus, alternately flows down through the inclined barrier 4.

The stopper 4 stops linear gravitational movement in the 1 st spatial region 10, and serves as a stopper in the gravitational movement direction (the 1 st direction (1)).

As a result, even when the absorbent sheet is applied to a wearing article, even if the absorbent polymer moves by gravity in accordance with the posture of the wearer, the resistance to the movement by gravity of the polymer is increased by the stopper portion, and therefore the polymer can be prevented from being concentrated on the side on the lower side of the movement by gravity, and therefore, the absorbent polymer can be absorbed in a dispersed state without being excessively concentrated on the entire 1 st space region 10, and thus, the absorption capacity can be prevented from being lowered.

For example, when the front-back direction of a disposable diaper is applied as the gravitational movement direction (direction 1 (1)) of the absorbent polymer (front-back direction BF in fig. 1), the polymer tends to concentrate in the crotch portion due to gravitational movement in a standing posture, but the barrier section 4 increases the resistance to gravitational movement of the absorbent polymer, so that the absorbent polymer is dispersed, and the body fluid can be absorbed by the entire absorbent sheet, and thus a desired absorption capacity can be exhibited.

As shown in the drawing, the barrier 4 may be linear or dotted in a plane view so as to form an angle intersecting the 1 st direction (1) (vertical direction in the drawing), and it is particularly preferable that two or more barrier 4 are provided at intervals in the 1 st direction (1) to form a barrier row.

By providing two or more blocking portions 4, the blocking effect is increased.

The barrier rows may be formed in two or more. That is, for example, as shown in fig. 1, a pair of left and right barrier rows may be formed in the 1 st space region 10 so as to be separated in the 2 nd direction (2) (width direction WD) intersecting the 1 st direction (1).

In this embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and 2, one end of the barrier 4 of one barrier row and the other opposite end of the barrier 4 of the other barrier row are alternately arranged in the 1 st direction (1), and a space S1 (see fig. 2) through which an absorbent polymer can pass may be formed between the end of the barrier 4 of one barrier row and the other end of the barrier 4 of the other barrier row.

As a result, the absorbent polymer moves downward along the barrier 4 of one barrier row, then moves onto the barrier 4 of the other barrier row, and moves downward along the barrier 4 of the other barrier row. This is repeated, moving in the direction of the action of gravity.

By changing the direction of movement alternately in this way, the blocking effect by the blocking section 4 is increased, and the effect of preventing the absorbent polymer from being concentrated is improved.

As shown in fig. 3 (b), a space S2 through which the absorbent polymer can pass may be formed between the barrier 4 and the delimiting part 3 of the 1 st space region 10 in the barrier row.

On the 1 st space region 10 side of the delimiting part 3 in the barrier 4, a dead zone of the movement of the absorbent polymer indicated by the symbol S3 in fig. 3 (a) is easily generated.

However, if the spacing portion S2 through which the absorbent polymer can pass is formed between the barrier 4 and the defining portion 3 of the 1 st space region 10, the absorbent polymer can be moved while suppressing the generation of dead space.

As shown in fig. 3 (c), when the hook portion 4a is formed at the tip of the stopper portion 4, the hook portion 4a can suppress the movement of the absorbent polymer.

As shown in fig. 3 (d), the inclination angle of the stopper 4 may be selected as appropriate by forming a stopper 4A with a steep inclination or the like.

The shape of the stopper may be appropriately selected, and may be, for example, a mountain-shaped stopper 4B shown in fig. 4 (a), a stopper 4C whose tip end portion is inclined shown in fig. 4 (B), or a circular-arc stopper 4D shown in fig. 4 (C).

The number of the first space regions 10 may be only one, but two or more are preferably provided. As shown in fig. 1 to 7, when two or more 1 st space regions 10 are formed at intervals in the 2 nd direction (2) intersecting the 1 st direction (1) in which the absorbent polymer moves by gravity, the barrier property of the entire absorbent sheet is improved.

That is, by forming many small spaces and forming the barriers 4 in these small spaces, the barrier properties as the whole absorbent sheet are improved, as compared with the case where the barriers 4 are provided in the large spaces.

If necessary, two or more 1 st space regions 10 may be provided in the 1 st direction (1) at intervals.

In fig. 5, two or more 1 st space regions 10 are formed at intervals in the 2 nd direction (2) intersecting the 1 st direction (1) in which the absorbent polymer moves by gravity, and a 2 nd space region 20 defined by the boundary portions 6 and 6 is provided.

The 2 nd spatial region 20 is different from the 1 st spatial region 10 in the movement characteristics, and the 2 nd spatial region 20 in the illustrated example is defined by being separated by the boundary portion 6a in the 1 st direction (1), and the absorbent polymer is arranged in each of the sections.

In fig. 5, although the absorption capacity in the 1 st space region 10 varies due to, for example, a change in posture, the body fluid can be absorbed in the 2 nd space region 20 in a state where the absorption capacity does not vary.

Further, as shown in fig. 1, when a disposable article including an absorbent sheet is worn and the absorbent sheet repeats a case where one end portion side of the 1 st direction (1) faces downward and a case where the other end portion side faces downward by the movement of the wearer, when the direction of the barrier section 4 is shown in the leftmost 1 st space region 10 in fig. 1 (a), a phenomenon occurs in which the amount of movement of the absorbent polymer 5 from the upper side to the lower side of the drawing increases and the amount of movement from the lower side to the upper side of the drawing decreases (the difference in the amounts of movement is indicated by the width of the dotted arrow).

This phenomenon can be applied. For example, as shown in fig. 6, the absorbent polymer is made larger at the center C of the absorbent sheet and the end in the 1 st direction (1) is made smaller, but in the case where it is desired to prevent excessive concentration at the center C, the embodiment shown in fig. 6 is preferable.

That is, the following phenomenon occurs when the absorbent sheet is worn with the crotch of the wearer positioned at the center C of the absorbent sheet.

In the group of the 1 st space region 10 and 10 … from the left to the right in fig. 6, the concentration portion D of the absorbent polymer occurs on the lower side in the 1 st space region 10 on the left side, and the concentration portion D of the absorbent polymer occurs on the upper side in the 2 nd 1 st space region 10 thereafter, and when these alternate and repeat, the absorbent polymer tends to concentrate on the center C of the absorbent sheet as a whole, but the absorbent polymer does not excessively concentrate on the center C and concentrates on the upper and lower ranges across the center C as a whole, and therefore, the absorbent sheet can absorb body fluid in the entire crotch portion of the wearer, and the absorption capacity is improved.

The barrier portion of the present invention may be in the form of a dotted line as shown on the right side of fig. 7, in addition to being in the form of a line. The interval of the dots can be appropriately selected.

At least one of the 1 st sheet 1 and the 2 nd sheet 2 of the present invention is liquid-permeable. Both of them may be made liquid-permeable by using nonwoven fabrics. The other side may be a liquid impermeable sheet. That is, various known nonwoven fabrics and films can be used. For example, a spunbond nonwoven fabric, a meltblown nonwoven fabric, a thermal (through air) bond nonwoven fabric, a spunlace nonwoven fabric, an air-laid nonwoven fabric, a resin film such as PE or PP, or the like can be used.

In order to improve the mobility of the absorbent polymer, a nonwoven fabric having a smooth surface using long fibers, such as a spunbond method, is preferable, and a nonwoven fabric having a rough surface using short fibers, such as a through-air method, is preferable in order to suppress the mobility.

The absorbent polymer of the present embodiment is preferably in a granular form so as to be freely movable in the 1 st space region 10. The average particle diameter of the absorbent polymer is preferably 200 to 500 μm so as not to enter between the fibers constituting the 1 st and 2 nd sheets 1 and 2 or between the fillers of the film.

The amount of the absorbent polymer 4 in the 1 st space region 10 is preferably 10 to 100g/m²。

As the absorbent polymer, various known absorbent polymers used for absorbent articles can be used. Examples of the polymer include sodium polyacrylate, acrylic acid-vinyl alcohol copolymer, crosslinked sodium polyacrylate, starch-acrylic acid graft polymer, isobutylene-maleic anhydride copolymer and saponified product thereof, potassium polyacrylate, and cesium polyacrylate.

As a joining method for joining the 1 st sheet 1 and the 2 nd sheet 2 to form the scribe portion, any known joining method can be used. For example, ultrasonic embossing, hot embossing, adhesives, and the like may be used. Ultrasonic embossing is particularly preferred.

As a bonding method, for example, after the absorbent polymer is scattered on the 1 st sheet 1, the sheet is covered with the 2 nd sheet 2, and bonding for scribing can be achieved by various bonding methods.

In this joining method, the absorbent polymer may be interposed between the 1 st sheet 1 and the 2 nd sheet 2, and joining may be difficult, and in this case, the following method may be used.

That is, in addition to the case where the 1 st sheet 1 and the 2 nd sheet 2 are directly joined, as shown in fig. 8, the following method may be used: a defining member 7 is provided between the 1 st sheet 1 and the 2 nd sheet 2, a notch 7a in the defining member 7 is defined as the 1 st space region 10 of the absorbent polymer, and the 1 st sheet 1 and the 2 nd sheet 2 are joined with the defining member 7 therebetween.

When the partitioning member 7 is interposed, the following advantages can be expected: the 1 st space region 10 of the absorbent polymer can be defined by the defining member 7, and the 1 st sheet 1 and the 2 nd sheet 2 can be easily and reliably bonded to each other.

As a method of bonding the barrier, for example, ultrasonic embossing, hot embossing, an adhesive (e.g., a hot melt adhesive), or the like can be used. Ultrasonic embossing is particularly preferred.

The absorbent sheet of the present invention can be disposed between a liquid-permeable sheet and a liquid-impermeable sheet to constitute a disposable wearing article.

In this case, if the front-back direction of the wearing article, for example, the disposable diaper, is aligned with the gravity movement direction of the absorbent polymer, the absorbent polymer can be moved to the crotch region where higher absorption capacity is desired, and therefore the absorption capacity as the wearing article can be improved.

Examples of wearing articles to which the absorbent sheet of the present invention is applied include extended disposable diapers such as tape disposable diapers, disposable underpant diapers, sanitary napkins, pantiliners, and incontinence pads. Further, the present invention can be suitably used for an outer-side-article-mounting type (pad type) disposable diaper which is used by being mounted on the inner surface of an outer-side article such as a diaper or a disposable diaper.

A structural example of the disposable diaper of the inside-outer-article set type (pad type) will be described.

Fig. 9 to 13 show a disposable diaper (hereinafter referred to as "pad diaper") 200 of the in-outer-body set type (pad diaper "). The pad diaper 200 has a ventral portion F1 extending frontward and a dorsal portion B1 extending rearward with respect to the center in the front-rear direction. The dimensions of each part may be set as appropriate, and for example, the total length (longitudinal length) L1 of the article may be about 150 to 450mm, and the total width W1 may be about 120 to 200 mm.

The pad diaper 200 has a basic structure in which an absorbent sheet AS is interposed between the inner surface of the liquid-impermeable sheet 21 and the liquid-permeable top sheet 22. The absorbent sheet AS may be wrapped with crepe paper (not shown) AS necessary. The shape of the absorbent sheet AS may be a belt shape in which the front portion is relatively wider than the rear portion, or an appropriate shape such AS a rectangular shape or a trapezoidal shape.

On the back side of the absorbent sheet AS, a liquid-impermeable sheet 21 is provided so AS to protrude from the periphery of the absorbent sheet AS by a predetermined length. As the liquid-impermeable sheet 21, in addition to a polyethylene film or the like, a sheet having moisture permeability without impairing water resistance may be used from the viewpoint of preventing stuffiness. For example, a microporous sheet obtained by melt-kneading an inorganic filler in an olefin resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene to form a sheet and then stretching the sheet in a uniaxial or biaxial direction can be used as the water-blocking/moisture-permeable sheet.

The outer surface (back surface) of the liquid-impermeable sheet 21 is covered with an outer sheet 25. As the exterior sheet 25, various nonwoven fabrics can be used. As the material fiber constituting the nonwoven fabric, not only synthetic fibers such as olefin-based fibers, polyester-based fibers, and polyamide-based fibers, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, but also regenerated fibers, such as rayon and cuprammonium fibers, and natural fibers, such as cotton, can be used.

The exterior sheet 25 may not be provided as necessary.

The front surface side of the absorbent sheet AS is covered with the liquid-permeable top sheet 22. In the illustrated embodiment, the absorbent sheet AS partially protrudes from the side edge of the liquid-permeable top sheet 22, but the width of the top sheet 22 may be increased so that the side edge of the absorbent body 3 does not protrude. As the top sheet 22, a perforated or non-perforated nonwoven fabric, a perforated plastic sheet, or the like is used. As the material fiber constituting the nonwoven fabric, in addition to synthetic fibers such as olefin-based fibers, polyester-based fibers, and polyamide-based fibers, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, regenerated fibers, such as rayon and cuprammonium fibers, and natural fibers, such as cotton, can be used.

The outer covering sheet 25 and the liquid-permeable top sheet 22 are respectively attached to the front and rear sides of the front and rear ends of the absorbent sheet AS at both front and rear ends of the pad diaper 200, thereby forming end flaps EF where the absorbent sheet AS is not present.

The liquid-impermeable sheet 21 extends outward beyond the side edges of the absorbent sheet AS at both side portions of the pad diaper 200, and a widthwise outer portion 24x of the barrier sheet 24 is attached to the inner surface of the portion extending from the extended portion to the side portion of the topsheet 22 in the front-rear direction, thereby forming side flap portions SF where the absorbent sheet AS is not present. Including these, the attached portions of the material may be formed by hot melt adhesive, heat sealing, ultrasonic sealing, shown in diagonal line patterns in the drawings.

The portions other than the end flap portions EF and the side flap portions SF in which the absorbent body is interposed constitute a main body portion for holding excrement.

As the material of the barrier sheet 24, a plastic sheet or a melt-blown nonwoven fabric may be used, but from the viewpoint of the tactile sensation with the skin, a material obtained by subjecting a nonwoven fabric to water repellent treatment with silicone or the like is preferably used.

The center portion 24c of the barrier sheet 24 in the width direction extends to the top sheet 22, and at the end portion on the center side in the width direction, an elongated elastic member 24G is fixed by hot melt adhesive or the like in a stretched state along the front-rear direction. As the elongated elastic member 24G, a material generally used, such as styrene rubber, olefin rubber, urethane rubber, ester rubber, polyurethane, polyethylene, polystyrene, styrene butadiene, silicone, or polyester, which is formed in a linear shape, a string shape, a belt shape, or the like, can be used.

In both the barrier sheets 24 and 24, the widthwise outer portion 24x is bonded and fixed to the inner surface of the article (the surface of the top sheet 22 and the inner surface of the exterior sheet 25 in the illustrated embodiment) over the entire longitudinal direction, and the widthwise central portion 24c is bonded and fixed to the inner surface of the article (the surface of the top sheet 22 in the illustrated embodiment) at both longitudinal direction end portions, and is not fixed to the inner surface of the article (the surface of the top sheet 22 in the illustrated embodiment) between both longitudinal direction end portions. As shown in fig. 12, the non-fixed portion is a portion that becomes a three-dimensional barrier that can rise with respect to the inner surface of the article (the surface of the top sheet 22 in the illustrated embodiment), and the rising base end 24b thereof is located at the boundary between the fixed portion 24x on the outer side in the width direction and the inner portion 24c of the barrier sheet 24.

As shown in fig. 10 to 13, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 is provided on the back surface of the outer sheet 25 of the pad diaper 200, and a fixed portion having a releasable sheet 31 that is releasably covered is formed.

In the illustrated example, the fixing portions are provided continuously in the front-rear direction, but may be provided on the abdomen-side portion F1 and the back-side portion B1, or may be provided only on either side. In the case where a plurality of fixing portions are provided, at least one is preferably provided in each of the ventral portion F1 and the dorsal portion B1.
