Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for generating an electrostatic field of high voltage for the electrostatic flocking of a thread-like or yarn-shaped material which is moved in a host of adhesive-provided, grounded threads through a high-voltage electrostatic field which acts between the potential levels of electrodes .
- the flocked material which is brought up on an electrically non-conductive conveying means arranged above the bottom electrode and below the threads of the thread sheet, is accelerated in the direction of the threads of the thread sheet and shot into the adhesive jacket of the threads.
- the device relates to a flocking chamber formed from the lower and upper electrodes, each of which has an electrostatically effective potential surface and can be connected to high electrical voltage.
- a continuous conveying means which brings the flock material, is arranged between the electrodes.
- the flocking chamber is preceded by an adhesive application device for the thread sheet that can be pulled off a creel. Downstream of the flocking chamber is a drying chamber for the flocked threads of the thread sheet.
- the threads are kept straight by a tensioning device and wound up by a winding device.
- All-round flocked yarns and threads can be obtained if, according to the manufacturing process of DE-PS 16 35 235, the threads are rotated about their longitudinal axis on their way through the electric field. This known procedure is disadvantageous with regard to the continuous twist. The flock density of the thread obtained can also be further improved.
- the aim of the invention is to provide a method for electrostatic flocking, according to which any yarn or thread can be flocked tightly and optimally without the yarn or thread having to be rotated.
- the shortcomings of the known methods are to be avoided.
- this is achieved in that an electric field is generated between non-planar potential surfaces of the electrodes in the direction of action transverse to the longitudinal direction of the thread and in that these potential surfaces are effective symmetrically to each thread of the family of threads and that the threads are moved in a straight line in the longitudinal direction of the thread by the electrical field.
- the threads of the thread family are flocked tightly with flock material all around, without the thread or the electrode having to be rotated.
- the electric field is generated in a very simple way between potential surfaces which are hollow to the thread.
- the flock In an electrostatic field, the flock is always fired from the electrode at a right angle to the potential surface and accelerated. If the potential surfaces are not flat, the flock follows shorter and longer field lines. Flock, which gets into the area of the earthed threads of the thread sheet or touches the adhesive jacket of the thread, is attracted to the thread and overcomes the influence of the field lines. The deviation of the flock flight direction is small. It can be up to 30 °. The speed and mass of the flock allow this for a short time. As a result, a large number of flock portions shoot diagonally into the adhesive jacket between the uneven potential surfaces of the electrodes. These flock portions are sufficient to flock the thread tightly and evenly without twisting. The flock is anchored radially and at an angle to the thread in the adhesive jacket. As a result, it has a greater flock density.
- the electrical field can be generated between arc-shaped, in particular circular-arc-shaped or sinusoidal or other wave-shaped or between stepped potential surfaces of the electrodes.
- the upper and lower electrodes can also be divided into several individual electrodes.
- an electric field of different field strengths can be generated to increase the flocking density. This effect is used so that the thread of the thread sheet is flocked so densely on the way through the electric field that at the latest at the field starting point the flock that shoots back and forth no longer has any place on the surface of the adhesive.
- the threads of the thread sheet can also be moved continuously or discontinuously. All-round flocking also takes place when the thread is at rest.
- a field of any and different field strength can be generated.
- a device is provided according to the preamble of claim 7, in which the potential surfaces of the electrodes are uneven in the direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the thread, in particular are curved and symmetrical to the thread.
- Preferred regular curvatures are obtained by an arcuate, in particular concave, curvature, viewed from the thread, or by an undulating configuration of the potential surfaces.
- An electrical field with field lines of different lengths can be generated between such electrodes, which is particularly advantageously suitable for tightly flocking thread or yarn of a family.
- Further configurations are stepped electrodes which are subdivided into partial electrodes. Different high voltages can be applied.
- the distances between the electrodes and the thread sheet can be changed. Furthermore, the electrodes can be inclined to one another in the thread running direction. These measures allow a basic setting and intensification in the flocking.
- the flocking device 1 essentially consists of a flocking chamber 2. It comprises an upper and lower electrode 3, 4 and the part 5 ′ of an endless conveyor 5 located therebetween. From a creel 6 threads 12 are in a family of threads - cf. also Fig. 3 reference numerals 12 '- deducted. They are flocked in the flocking chamber 2 and held or moved in a straight line by a tensioning device 10. Tensioning means that the threads are held so that they do not sag. Depending on the thread shrinkage, the corresponding change in length is also taken into account. The flocked threads are dried in a drying device 9 and wound up with the aid of a winding machine 11.
- FIG. 2 shows the basic structure of the uneven potential surface 13 or 14 of the upper and lower electrodes 3, 4 in the form of a curvature. These surfaces are hollow-curved and arranged symmetrically to the thread 12. The distances of the potential surfaces 13, 14 to the thread can be changed; however, they are always the same size for thread. An electric field of high voltage is generated between these potential surfaces, the field lines of which are of different lengths. Flocked threads 12 are shown schematically.
- the upper electrode 3 is e.g. to a high voltage of + 55 KV and the lower electrode e.g. connected to a high voltage of - 45 KV.
- the flock transported into the flock chamber by the conveyor 5, 5 'shoots back and forth between the potential surfaces due to the effect of the electric field.
- the grounded thread 12 is surrounded by an adhesive jacket (not shown) and has an electrically neutral field in this area. Portions of the flock shooting back and forth penetrate essentially radially into the adhesive jacket. Further portions of the flock are removed from the influence of the field lines in the area of the neutral zone and also shoot into the adhesive jacket at a small oblique angle, which can be up to 30 °.
- the two thread flanks not facing the potential surfaces also fill with partly radial, partly inclined flocking parts until the thread is completely flocked.
- FIG. 3 A preferred embodiment of the potential surfaces is shown in FIG. 3.
- the electrode surfaces 15, 16 are uniformly undulating; etc. in the plane x, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the thread.
- the group of threads of the threads 12 is designated 12 '.
- the threads are preferably located in the middle between the symmetrical wave troughs.
- the valleys and bellies of the electrode surface extend essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the thread. However, these valleys and bellies can also extend in an oblique to diagonal course of the recesses 17 to the longitudinal axis of the thread. This is shown in FIG. 4.
- FIG. 5 shows an arrangement of electrodes 20, 21 which have potential surfaces which are spatially formed both transversely to and in the longitudinal direction y of the thread.
- This can e.g. be dome-shaped or truncated pyramid-like recesses. Any type of "volumetric" recess is possible with symmetrical valleys and islands.
- FIG. 6 shows an arrangement of electrodes 22 which are arranged inclined to one another in the longitudinal direction y of the thread.
- the distance E on the inlet side is preferably greater than that on the outlet side A.
- the flocking is more intensive in the area of the smaller electrode distance compared to the larger electrode distance.
- FIG. 7 shows an arrangement of stepped electrodes 19. These are provided as partial electrodes. Each pair of electrodes can take a certain, arbitrary distance to the thread sheet. Furthermore, each electrode can be connected to a specific, selectable high voltage. In this way, individually graduated flocking is possible.
- FIG. 8 shows a top view of some of many possible spatial surface configurations of the electrode 20, 21 which are suitable for generating an electric field between uneven potential surfaces with different field line lengths in order to flock threads which are not twisted on their way through the field .

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Erzeugen eines elektrostatischen Feldes hoher Spannung zum elektrostatischen Beflocken eines faden- oder garnförmigen Materials, das in einer Schar von mit einem Klebemittel versehenen, geerdeten Fäden durch ein zwischen den Potentialebenen von Elektroden wirksames elektrostatisches Feld hoher Spannung hindurchbewegt wird. Unter der Wirkung dieses Feldes wird das auf einem elektrisch nicht leitenden, oberhalb der unten angeordneten Elektrode und unterhalb der Fäden der Fadenschar angeordneten Fördermittel herangeführte Flockmaterial in Richtung auf die Fäden der Fadenschar hin beschleunigt und in den Klebemittelmantel der Fäden eingeschossen.The invention relates to a method for generating an electrostatic field of high voltage for the electrostatic flocking of a thread-like or yarn-shaped material which is moved in a host of adhesive-provided, grounded threads through a high-voltage electrostatic field which acts between the potential levels of electrodes . Under the effect of this field, the flocked material, which is brought up on an electrically non-conductive conveying means arranged above the bottom electrode and below the threads of the thread sheet, is accelerated in the direction of the threads of the thread sheet and shot into the adhesive jacket of the threads.
Die Vorrichtung bezieht sich auf eine aus unterer und oberer Elektrode gebildeten Beflockungskammer, von denen jede Elektrode eine elektrostatisch wirksame Potentialoberfläche aufweist und an elektrischer Hochspannung anschließbar ist. Zwischen den Elektroden ist ein durchlaufendes, das Flockmaterial heranführende Fördermittel angeordnet. Der Beflockungskammer vorgeordnet ist eine Klebemittelauftragvorrichtung für die von einem Spulengatter abziehbare Fadenschar. Der Beflockungskammer nachgeordnet ist eine Trockenkammer für die beflockten Fäden der Fadenschar. Die Fäden werden durch eine Spannvorrichtung gerade gehalten und durch eine Aufspulvorrichtung aufgewickelt.The device relates to a flocking chamber formed from the lower and upper electrodes, each of which has an electrostatically effective potential surface and can be connected to high electrical voltage. A continuous conveying means, which brings the flock material, is arranged between the electrodes. The flocking chamber is preceded by an adhesive application device for the thread sheet that can be pulled off a creel. Downstream of the flocking chamber is a drying chamber for the flocked threads of the thread sheet. The threads are kept straight by a tensioning device and wound up by a winding device.
Bei der herkömmlichen Herstellung elektrostatisch beflockter Fäden oder Garne, die als Fadenschar durch ein elektrisches Feld bewegt wird, sind rundum beflockte Fäden oder Garne nicht zu erhalten. Sie weisen einen bändchenförmigen Charakter auf, weil im wesentlichen nur die den ebenen Potentialoberflächen der Elektroden zugewandten Fadenoberflächen beflockt sind.In the conventional production of electrostatically flocked threads or yarns, which are moved as an array of threads through an electric field, all-round flocked threads or yarns cannot be obtained. They have a ribbon-like character because essentially only the thread surfaces facing the flat potential surfaces of the electrodes are flocked.
Rundum beflockte Garne und Fäden sind hingegen zu erhalten, wenn nach dem Herstellungsverfahren der DE-PS 16 35 235 die Fäden auf ihrem Weg durch das elektrische Feld um ihre Längsachse gedreht werden. Diese bekannte Verfahrensweise ist in Bezug auf die kontinuierliche Fadendrehung nachteilig. Die Flockdichte des erhaltenen Fadens ist überdies weiter verbesserungsfähig.All-round flocked yarns and threads can be obtained if, according to the manufacturing process of DE-PS 16 35 235, the threads are rotated about their longitudinal axis on their way through the electric field. This known procedure is disadvantageous with regard to the continuous twist. The flock density of the thread obtained can also be further improved.
Ziel der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren zum elektrostatischen Beflocken zu schaffen, nach dem beliebige Garne oder Fäden rundum dicht und optimal beflockt werden können, ohne daß die Garne oder Fäden gedreht werden müssen. Die Mängel der bekannten Verfahren sollen dabei vermieden werden.The aim of the invention is to provide a method for electrostatic flocking, according to which any yarn or thread can be flocked tightly and optimally without the yarn or thread having to be rotated. The shortcomings of the known methods are to be avoided.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß ein elektrisches Feld zwischen nicht ebenen Potentialoberflächen der Elektroden in der Wirkungsrichtung quer zur Fadenlängsrichtung erzeugt wird und daß diese Potentialoberflächen symmetrisch zu jedem Faden der Fadenschar wirksam sind und daß die Fäden geradlinig in Fadenlängsrichtung durch das elektrische Feld bewegt werden.According to the invention, this is achieved in that an electric field is generated between non-planar potential surfaces of the electrodes in the direction of action transverse to the longitudinal direction of the thread and in that these potential surfaces are effective symmetrically to each thread of the family of threads and that the threads are moved in a straight line in the longitudinal direction of the thread by the electrical field.
Auf Grund eines solchen zwischen den nicht ebenen Elektrodenpotentialoberflächen erzeugten elektrostatischen Feldes werden die Fäden der Fadenschar mit Flockmaterial rundum dicht beflockt, ohne daß dabei der Faden oder die Elektrode gedreht werden müssen.Due to such an electrostatic field generated between the non-planar electrode potential surfaces, the threads of the thread family are flocked tightly with flock material all around, without the thread or the electrode having to be rotated.
Auf sehr einfache Weise wird das elektrische Feld zwischen zum Faden hohl gekrümmten Potentialoberflächen erzeugt.The electric field is generated in a very simple way between potential surfaces which are hollow to the thread.
In einem elektrostatischen Feld wird der Flock stets im rechten Winkel bezogen auf die Potentialoberfläche von der Elektrode abgeschossen und beschleunigt. Bei nicht ebenen Potentialoberflächen folgt der Flock kürzeren und längeren Feldlinien. Flock, der dabei in den Bereich der geerdeten Fäden der Fadenschar gerät oder den Klebermantel des Fadens berührt, wird vom Faden angezogen und überwindet den Feldlinieneinfluß. Die Abweichung der Flockflugrichtung ist gering. Sie kann bis zu 30° betragen. Geschwindigkeit und Masse des Flock lassen dies kurzzeitig zu. Dadurch schiessen in einem elektrischen Feld zwischen unebenen Potentialoberflächen der Elektroden sehr viele Flockanteile schräg in den Klebermantel hinein. Diese Flockanteile reichen aus, um den Faden ohne Eigendrehung dicht und gleichmäßig zu beflocken.
Der Flock ist radial wie auch unter Schrägwinkeln zum Faden im Klebermantel verankert. Er weist dadurch eine größere Flockdichte auf.In an electrostatic field, the flock is always fired from the electrode at a right angle to the potential surface and accelerated. If the potential surfaces are not flat, the flock follows shorter and longer field lines. Flock, which gets into the area of the earthed threads of the thread sheet or touches the adhesive jacket of the thread, is attracted to the thread and overcomes the influence of the field lines. The deviation of the flock flight direction is small. It can be up to 30 °. The speed and mass of the flock allow this for a short time. As a result, a large number of flock portions shoot diagonally into the adhesive jacket between the uneven potential surfaces of the electrodes. These flock portions are sufficient to flock the thread tightly and evenly without twisting.
The flock is anchored radially and at an angle to the thread in the adhesive jacket. As a result, it has a greater flock density.
Das elektrische Feld kann zwischen bogen- insbesondere kreisbogen-oder sinusförmigen oder anderen wellenförmigen oder zwischen gestuften Potentialoberflächen der Elektroden erzeugt werden. Die obere und untere Elektrode kann ferner in mehrere Einzelelektroden unterteilt vorliegen.
Des weiteren kann zur Steigerung der Beflockungsdichte ein elektrisches Feld unterschiedlicher Feldstärken erzeugt werden. Diese Wirkung wird dazu benutzt, daß der Faden der Fadenschar auf dem Weg durch das elektrische Feld so dicht beflockt wird, daß spätestens an der Feldausgangsstelle der hin- und herschießende Flock keinen Platz mehr auf der Klebermantelfläche findet. Die Fäden der Fadenschar können des weiteren kontinuierlich oder diskontinuierlich bewegt werden. Die Rundumbeflockung erfolgt ebenfalls im Ruhezustand des Fadens. Auch hierbei kann ein Feld beliebiger und unterschiedlicher Feldstärke erzeugt werden.The electrical field can be generated between arc-shaped, in particular circular-arc-shaped or sinusoidal or other wave-shaped or between stepped potential surfaces of the electrodes. The upper and lower electrodes can also be divided into several individual electrodes.
Furthermore, an electric field of different field strengths can be generated to increase the flocking density. This effect is used so that the thread of the thread sheet is flocked so densely on the way through the electric field that at the latest at the field starting point the flock that shoots back and forth no longer has any place on the surface of the adhesive. The threads of the thread sheet can also be moved continuously or discontinuously. All-round flocking also takes place when the thread is at rest. Here, too, a field of any and different field strength can be generated.
Zum Durchführen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist eine Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 7 vorgesehen, bei der die Potentialoberflächen der Elektroden in der Richtung quer zur Fadenlängsrichtung uneben ausgebildet, insbesondere gekrümmt und symmetrisch zum Faden vorliegen.To carry out the method according to the invention, a device is provided according to the preamble of
Bevorzugte regelmäßige Krümmungen werden durch eine kreisbogenförmige, insbesondere konkave Krümmung, vom Faden aus betrachtet, oder durch wellenförmige Ausbildung der Potentialoberflächen erhalten. Zwischen solchen Elektroden kann ein elektrisches Feld mit unterschiedlich langen Feldlinien erzeugt werden, das besonders vorteilhaft geeignet ist, Faden oder Garn einer Schar rundum dicht zu beflocken. Weitere Ausgestaltungen sind gestufte und in Teilelektroden unterteilte Elektroden. Es können unterschiedliche Hochspannungen angelegt werden.Preferred regular curvatures are obtained by an arcuate, in particular concave, curvature, viewed from the thread, or by an undulating configuration of the potential surfaces. An electrical field with field lines of different lengths can be generated between such electrodes, which is particularly advantageously suitable for tightly flocking thread or yarn of a family. Further configurations are stepped electrodes which are subdivided into partial electrodes. Different high voltages can be applied.
Des weiteren können die Abstände der Elektroden zu der Fadenschar geändert werden. Ferner können die Elektroden in Fadenlaufrichtung zueinander geneigt vorliegen. Durch diese Maßnahmen kann eine Grundeinstellung und Intensivierung in der Beflockung erfolgen.Furthermore, the distances between the electrodes and the thread sheet can be changed. Furthermore, the electrodes can be inclined to one another in the thread running direction. These measures allow a basic setting and intensification in the flocking.

Die Beflockungsvorrichtung 1 nach Fig. 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus einer Beflockungskammer 2. Sie umfaßt eine obere und untere Elektrode 3,4 und den dazwischen liegenden Teil 5' eines Endlosförderers 5. Mit 7 ist der Flock und mit 8 ein Flockspeicher mit Dosierteil bezeichnet. Von einem Spulengatter 6 werden Fäden 12 in einer Fadenschar - vgl. dazu auch Fig. 3 Bezugszeichen 12' - abgezogen. Sie werden in der Beflockungskammer 2 beflockt und durch eine Spannvorrichtung 10 geradlinig gehalten oder bewegt. Spannen bedeutet, daß die Fäden so gehalten werden, daß sie nicht durchhängen. Je nach Fadenschrumpf ist die entsprechende Längenänderung dabei mitberücksichtigt.

Dabei füllen sich die beiden nicht den Potentialoberflächen zugewandten Fadenflanken ebenfalls mit teils radialen, teils schräg einschießenden Flockanteilen, bis der Faden rundum dicht mit Flock besetzt ist.The
