BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a non-woven fabric, and more particularly to a perforated non-woven fabric having three-dimensional funnel-shaped openings and air flow passages and a production method thereof.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Non-woven fabrics are soft, skin-friendly and breathable, and are widely used in sanitary products, such as sanitary napkins, diapers and the like, cleaning supplies, masks, medical supplies, and so on. However, the use of sanitary napkins or diapers, the body fluids may contain clots or baby soft will be attached to the surface of the sanitary napkin or diaper, thus greatly reducing the comfort and breathability of sanitary products.
Chinese Patent Publication No. CN2010101842233 describes a composite sheet in which a large number of convex portions made of an upper fiber sheet are provided on a substantially flat lower fiber sheet by three-dimensionally shaping the upper fiber sheet. Concave portions are provided between the convex portions. The concave portions and the convex portions are arranged in an interlaced manner on the composite sheet. The interlaced arrangement of the concave portions and the convex portions can effectively prevent liquid leakage. In particular, when the excrement is soft excrement having a high viscosity. The soft stool is caught in the closed concave portions surrounded by the convex portions, so that the excrement is less likely to flow laterally. However, since the two-layered non-woven fabric is bonded through the bonding area of the concave portions, the bonding point and the bonding area of the concave portions thicken the non-woven fabric. This hinders the excrement, especially high-viscosity excrement, from infiltrating into the absorbent, and the soft stool stays on the bonding area of the concave portions. The strength of the convex portions is insufficient to support the pressure of the baby's body weight so that the soft stool will stick to the baby's skin during use of the diaper, which is likely to cause diaper rash.
By using the production method of Chinese Patent Publication No. CN2010101842233, since the non-woven fabric itself is easily stretched and deformed under tension, the convex portions of the non-woven fabric may move during the production and are bonded to the concave portions to break the convex portions. Therefore, it is necessary to add a suction system on two rollers so that the fiber sheet can be attached to the periphery of the roller to fix the convex portions. Since the breathability of the non-woven fabric is very good, it requires a relatively large pumping capacity, resulting in high production cost and high difficulty.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art and provide a non-woven fabric capable of improving the penetration ability of the non-woven fabric while maintaining its three-dimensional structure and a production method thereof.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a perforated non-woven fabric is provided. The perforated non-woven fabric is formed by overlapping three-dimensional funnel-shaped openings of first and second perforated non-woven fabric layers. The first perforated non-woven fabric layer has a protruding portion and a recessed portion. The protruding portion has an internal space. An upper side of the second perforated non-woven fabric layer is bonded to a lower side of the recessed portion of the first perforated non-woven layer. The overlapped three-dimensional funnel-shaped openings pass through the first perforated non-woven fabric layer and the second perforated non-woven fabric layer.
Preferably, an upper surface of the protruding portion forms a continuous plane so that a continuous air flow passage is formed between the continuous internal space of the protruding portion of the first perforated non-woven fabric layer and the second perforated non-woven fabric layer.
Preferably, the protruding portion and the recessed portion are arranged by turns. The protruding portion has an independent discontinuous internal space. An independent discontinuous air flow passage is formed between the independent discontinuous internal space of the protruding portion of the first perforated non-woven fabric layer and the second perforated non-woven fabric layer.
Preferably, the protruding portion of the first perforated non-woven fabric layer has an opening structure.
Preferably, the three-dimensional funnel-shaped openings each extend from a top thereof toward a bottom thereof.
Alternatively, the three-dimensional funnel-shaped openings each extend from a bottom thereof toward a top thereof.
Preferably, a diameter of a top of the three-dimensional funnel-shaped openings is 0.2-5 mm
Preferably, a diameter of a top of the three-dimensional funnel-shaped openings is at least 20% greater than a diameter of a bottom of the three-dimensional funnel-shaped openings.
Preferably, the area of a top of the three-dimensional funnel-shaped openings accounts for less than 70% of the total area of the perforated non-woven fabric.
Preferably, the three-dimensional funnel-shaped openings have a height of 0.1-5 mm.
Preferably, the first perforated non-woven fabric layer is a water-repellent non-woven fabric, and the second perforated non-woven fabric layer is a hydrophilic non-woven fabric.
Preferably, the first perforated non-woven fabric layer or/and the second perforated non-woven fabric layer are one of a hot-blast non-woven fabric, a spunbond non-woven fabric and a spunlace non-woven fabric.
Preferably, a bonding of the recessed portion is a thermal bonding region or a glue bonding region.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a production method for producing the aforesaid perforated non-woven fabric adopts hot bonding. After the first perforated non-woven fabric layer is embossed and punched on a pair of concave and convex rollers, the first perforated non-woven fabric layer is closely attached to the convex roller by means of the temperature of the convex roller and a piercing process of a needle tip on the convex roller and then bonded to the second perforated non-woven fabric layer by means of punching and hot rolling of a third concave roller.
According to a further aspect of the present invention, a production method for producing the aforesaid perforated non-woven fabric adopts hot bonding. After the first perforated non-woven fabric layer is embossed and punched on a pair of concave and convex rollers, the non-woven fabric is first punched by means of the temperature of the convex roller and a salient point on the convex roller. The first perforated non-woven fabric layer is closely attached to the convex roller by means of the temperature of the convex roller and a piercing process of a needle tip on the convex roller. The convex roller meshes with a third concave roller. The salient point on the convex roller is pressed in a recess of the third concave roller. The first perforated non-woven fabric layer and the second perforated non-woven fabric layer are embossed and hot rolled by the third concave roller to be bonded. The first perforated non-woven fabric layer and the second perforated non-woven fabric layer are pressed into a recessed hole of the third concave roller through the salient point. The first perforated non-woven fabric layer and the second perforated non-woven fabric layer are simultaneously transferred to the third concave roller and then are punched by a fourth needle roller.
According to a yet further aspect of the present invention, a production method for producing the aforesaid perforated non-woven fabric adopts glue bonding. After the first perforated non-woven fabric layer is embossed and punched on a pair of concave and convex rollers, the first perforated non-woven fabric layer is closely attached to the convex roller by means of the temperature of the convex roller and a piercing process of a needle tip on the convex roller. The first perforated non-woven fabric layer and the second perforated non-woven fabric layer are punched by a third concave roller. The second perforated non-woven fabric layer is glued before the second perforated non-woven fabric layer passes through the third concave roller to be punched.
With the above technical scheme, the perforated non-woven fabric of the present invention is formed by overlapping three-dimensional funnel-shaped openings of two perforated non-woven fabric layers. The air flow passage is formed between the continuous internal space of the protruding portion of the first perforated non-woven fabric layer and the second perforated non-woven fabric layer. The non-woven fabric not only maintains the convex three-dimensional structure but also provides a permeable air flow passage, thereby speeding up the infiltration of the liquid, excrement, and soft stool and reducing the residual. The bonding of the two perforated non-woven fabric layers prevents the protruding portion from being compressed to effectively form the air flow passage so as to prevent the air flow passage from being clogged and crushed, providing the internal and external circulation of the air flow and reducing the feeling of wetness. The three-dimensional funnel-shaped opening structure enables the non-woven fabric to have a certain distance from the lower absorbent. The funnel-shaped opening structure effectively prevents the liquid from flowing back. The first perforated non-woven fabric layer is closely attached to the convex roller through the piercing process of the needle tip during the process, so that the first non-woven fabric layer and the second non-woven fabric layer won't be dislocated during the bonding process, thereby simplifying the process and saving manufacturing costs.

The heating temperature and the gap between the concave roller M and the convex roller N to mesh with each other can be set. The first non-woven fabric layer 11 is heated and compressed by the concave roller M and the convex roller N to form a three-dimensional non-woven fabric having protrusions and openings. After piercing through the needle tip d, the first perforated non-woven fabric layer 11 can be thinly attached to the convex roller N, providing a fast effective positioning effect to decrease energy-consumption greatly. The second perforated non-woven fabric layer 12 passes through the convex roller N to get contact with the first perforated non-woven fabric layer 11, and then both the second perforated non-woven fabric layer 12 and the first perforated non-woven fabric layer 11 pass through the convex roller N and a third concave roller O together. The third concave roller O has a recessed hole fin cooperation with the needle tip d of the convex roller N to pierce and compress the first perforated non-woven fabric layer 11 while the first perforated non-woven fabric layer 11 is wrapped to form the three-dimensional funnel-shaped opening D, and the first perforated non-woven fabric layer 11 is bonded to the second perforated non-woven fabric layer 12. The two non-woven fabric layers are bonded and pierced together to form the two-layer perforated non-woven fabric 1.

The gap is in the range of 0.1-45 mm During the engagement of the concave roller and the convex roller, the non-woven fabric is pressed and heated by the recess b of the concave roller M and the protrusion c of the convex roller N to form the recessed portion A, and the non-woven fabric is pierced and heated by the recessed hole a of the concave roller M and the needle tip d of the convex roller N to form the three-dimensional funnel-shaped opening C. The concave roller M and the convex roller N mesh with each other and are driven by a transmission mechanism. The concave roller M and the convex roller N are heating rollers. The heating temperature and the gap between the concave roller M and the convex roller N to mesh with each other can be set. The first non-woven fabric layer 11 is heated and compressed by the concave roller M and the convex roller N to form a three-dimensional non-woven fabric having protrusions and openings and is attached to the convex roller N. After piercing through the needle tip d, the first perforated non-woven fabric layer 11 can be firmly attached to the convex roller N, providing a fast effective positioning effect to decrease energy-consumption greatly. The second perforated non-woven fabric layer 12 is glued on the surface through a gluing device 3 to pass through the convex roller N to get contact with the first perforated non-woven fabric layer 11, and then both the second perforated non-woven fabric layer 12 and the first perforated non-woven fabric layer 11 pass through the convex roller N and a third concave roller O together. The third concave roller O has a recessed hole fin cooperation with the needle tip d of the convex roller N to pierce and compress the first perforated non-woven fabric layer 11 while the first perforated non-woven fabric layer 11 is wrapped to form the three-dimensional funnel-shaped opening D. The two non-woven fabric layers are bonded together by gluing to form the two-layer perforated non-woven fabric 1.
Ninth Embodiment
FIG. 9, in conjunction with FIG. 1 and FIG. 1A, illustrates a further implementation of a perforated non-woven fabric. The first perforated non-woven fabric layer 11 passes through a pair of concave and convex rollers M, N meshing with each other at a speed of 5-100 meter/minute. The temperature of the concave roller M is set in the range of 40-200° C. The temperature of the convex roller N is set in the range of 306-200° C.

The depth of the recess b is in the range of 0.5-45 mm The depth of the recessed hole a is in the range of 0.5-50 mm The convex roller N has a protrusion c and a salient point d on the protrusion c. The height of the protrusion c is in the range of 0.5-50 mm. The height of the salient point d is in the range of 0.5-45 mm The gap for the concave roller M and the convex roller N to mesh with each other can be adjusted. The gap is in the range of 0.1-45 mm During the engagement of the concave roller and the convex roller, the non-woven fabric is pressed and heated by the recess b of the concave roller M and the protrusion c of the convex roller N to form the recessed portion A, and the non-woven fabric is pressed and heated by the recessed hole a of the concave roller M and the salient point d of the convex roller N to form a preset three-dimensional funnel-shaped opening C1. The concave roller M and the convex roller N mesh with each other and are driven by a transmission mechanism. The concave roller M and the convex roller N are heating rollers. The heating temperature and the gap between the concave roller M and the convex roller N to mesh with each other can be set. The first non-woven fabric layer 11 is heated and compressed by the concave roller M and the convex roller N to form a three-dimensional non-woven fabric having protrusions and preset openings and is attached to the convex roller N.
The second perforated non-woven fabric layer 12 passes through the convex roller N to get contact with the first perforated non-woven fabric layer 11, and then both the second perforated non-woven fabric layer 12 and the first perforated non-woven fabric layer 11 pass through the convex roller N and a roller K together. The roller K has a recessed hole f to mate with the salient point d of the convex roller N. The first perforated non-woven fabric layer 11 and the second perforated non-woven fabric layer 12 pass through the convex roller N and the roller K together to be heated, compressed and bonded together to form a three-dimensional non-woven fabric having preset openings, and then transfer to the roller K, and finally pass through the K roller and a third concave roller O. The third concave roller O has a recess x and a needle h to mate with the roller K. The protruding portion A enters the recess x. The needle h pierces the two non-woven fabric layers simultaneously to form the perforated non-woven fabric 1 with the three-dimensional funnel-shaped openings C, D.
