Artificial turf mat and manufacturing apparatus therefor

Abstract

The present invention relates to an artificial turf mat and a manufacturing apparatus therefor. The artificial turf mat comprises: a plurality of pile yarns corresponding to artificial turf; a lining in which the plurality of pile yarns are turfed; a coating film formed by coating a coating agent on the bottom surface of the lining in which the pile yarns are exposed; and an outer fabric thermo-compressed onto the bottom surface of the lining in which the coating film is formed. The apparatus for manufacturing the artificial turf mat comprises: a pile yarn supply portion for supplying a plurality of pile yarns; a lining supply portion for supplying a lining; a weaving portion for turfing the pile yarns to the lining; and a coating portion for coating a coating agent on the bottom surface of the lining, and further comprises: an outer fabric supply portion for supplying an outer fabric; and an outer fabric compression portion for thermo-compressing the outer fabric onto the bottom surface of the lining. Therefore, the durability of the mat, due to the outer fabric, and the draining performance of the mat, due to a drain groove, can respectively be improved while lowering the production costs of the mat by reducing the consumption amount of the coating agent by coating the same on only a stitch portion of the pile yarns.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to artificial turf mats and manufacturing equipment thereof, and more particularly, to artificial turf mats for use in stadiums or golf courses to install (or provide) as basic units of artificial turf instead of natural turf, and for manufacturing artificial turf mats device of. Background technique [0002] Artificial turf generally refers to turf artificially produced with synthetic fibers, which are installed in place of natural grass in places such as indoor areas or shaded places where it is impossible to plant and grow natural grass. [0003] Since the artificial turf always takes on a green color regardless of the season, location, or surrounding environment, it is advantageous for scenery and facilitates post-management. However, artificial turf has its downsides: it doesn't feel seasonal, its texture isn't as good as natural grass, and its green color fades permanently over time. [0004] In artificial turf, s...

Problems solved by technology

However, since the pull-out strength applied to the pile yarn 103 is fully supported only by the coating film, the coating film needs to be thicker, and since the coating agent is applied to the entire bottom surface of the outer fabric 109, the coating agent's strength is increased. consumption

[0006] In addition, in the artificial turf mat 101 of the related art, the coating agent applied to the bottom surface of the outer fabric 109 is cured only by heat drying, thereby incurring the cost of supplying the heat required for drying.

[0007] In addition, after installation, the coating film of the artificial turf mat 101 of the related art is in contact with the ground or the floor surface to be easily worn due to frictional contact, whereby the pile yarn 103 is likely to fall off, reducing durability.

[0008] Also, since the coating film is covered on the entire bottom surface of the outer fabric 109, the moisture absorbed by the liner 105 is not easily discharged outward, so that the drainage performance deteriorates.
