Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to C08J, and more particularly, the present application relates to a cast film stabilizing device, a casting device and a method for manufacturing a cast film. BACKGROUND

[0002] The cellulose film made by solution casting method has excellent optical properties and apparent properties, and stable mechanical properties. Among them, in the process of making cellulose film by solution casting method, as shown in CN107650313A, cellulose solution is prepared by dissolving and mixing equipment, continuously and uniformly cast to a mirror surface ring belt support body of stainless steel material through a casting die, peeled off from the support body after drying, and further stretched, dried and wound, to finally form a cast film.

[0003] When the cellulose film is used for display film such as TAC film for polarizing plate, in order to ensure the display performance, the overall thickness uniformity of the film has strict difference requirements, and the control of thickness and uniformity in the casting process is very important. The casting process is that the cellulose solution flows out through the gap of the die, forms a cast film, and falls by gravity to the support body. The die discharge flow and the running speed of the support body are matched in different degrees to control the thickness of the cast film. In the above process, the running direction uniformity of the film thickness is affected by the pulsatility of the discharge flow, which can be solved by adding a non-pulsatile pump. In addition to the above factors, the cast film is also affected by the surrounding wind field during the process of falling by gravity, causing the time difference of the transverse film layer falling, thereby affecting the uniform contact of the cast film with the support body, and finally reflecting the uniformity difference of the film, mainly characterized by transverse lines and unevenness. In addition, due to the tension characteristics of the cast film body between the die and the support body, the wind field force is easy to produce breathing effect in the process of falling film, which aggravates the malady of transverse lines on the film surface.

[0004] Therefore, the main control method for the surrounding wind field of the casting die is to adjust the surrounding process air pressure to achieve a windless or zero pressure state as much as possible, which is difficult to achieve in a large process production environment. Another conventional measure is to set a wind shield device around the die, because the film and the support body are in running state, the wind shield cannot achieve complete wind blocking effect, at the same time causing turbulent flow of the wind field inside the shield, which aggravates the instability of the falling film. In addition, other negative pressure devices are used in front of the die to control the flow direction of the falling film surrounding wind field, but it is easy to cause drying aggravation effect for the cast film, which destroys the film process environment and causes the film to appear excessive warping and other maladies. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for stabilizing the wind field around the die head, and the method can effectively solve the problem that the wind field affects the film falling process. The surface uniformity and surface flatness of the product are good. The first aspect of the present invention provides a cast film stabilizing device, comprising a first windshield and a second windshield. When the solution is cast through the die head, along the casting direction, the first windshield is located at the front of the die head, and the second windshield is located at the rear of the die head. The front and rear parts along the casting direction mean that the part that passes through first is the front part, and the part that passes through later is the rear part, that is, after the casting liquid comes out of the die head, it passes through the second windshield, so it is the rear part, and because the first windshield is before the casting liquid comes out, it is the front part.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the first windshield is composed of stacked windshields, with grooves formed at the lower ends of the N-1th, Nth, and N+1th windshields, forming a multi-layered structure with varying heights at the lower end of the first windshield. The stacked windshields, i.e., the Nth windshield is flanked by the N-1th and N+1th windshields, respectively.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the ratio of the depth H of the groove to the width of the groove W is 1-3:1, and the following ratios are listed: 1:1, 1.5:1, 2:1, 2.5:1, and 3:1.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the number of layers of the windshield is 3-10, preferably 5-7.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the closest distance between the first windshield device and the solution discharge point of the die head is 10-150 mm, that is, the distance between the position of the first windshield device closest to the solution discharge point of the die head and the discharge point can be 10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm, 90 mm, 100 mm, 110 mm, 120 mm, 130 mm, 140 mm, and 150 mm.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the first windshield device is arranged perpendicular to the casting direction or at a certain angle. Preferably, the angle between the side surface of the first windshield device close to the die head and the casting direction is 45-90°, preferably 60-90°. Figure 3 Point A in the middle shows the included angle.

[0011] During the film casting die casting process, the surrounding air flow field is affected by multiple drying components, such as Figure 1The first air supply port, first air return port, second air supply port, and second air return port shown in the figure work together to form an unstable wind field. This causes the solution to drift in landing point, a nonlinear phenomenon, from discharge from the die head to contact with the support. This results in localized stretching or accumulation of the film, resulting in poor thickness uniformity and uneven film quality, such as horizontal and vertical striations. The first windshield device of the present invention utilizes a multi-layer windshield to effectively prevent the airflow from the stretching section to the casting section from adversely affecting the die head film landing, thereby ensuring film landing stability.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a plurality of guide holes are provided on the upper portion of the second windshield device. The guide holes are selected from at least one of circular holes, polygonal holes, and fan-shaped holes, such as elongated holes, circular holes, square holes, and hexagonal holes, preferably elongated holes. The guide holes may also be called ventilation holes.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the second windshield device is a plate-like structure, and is arranged orthogonally to the casting direction. Preferably, the thickness of the second windshield device is 50-150 mm, preferably 100-150 mm.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the total area of ​​the guide holes accounts for 30-50% of the total area of ​​the second windshield device, preferably 45-50%.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the distance between the lowest point of the guide hole and the highest point of the die is 10-500mm, preferably 10-50mm, the lowest point of the guide hole is the edge of the guide hole at the lowest position of the second wind shield device, that is, the horizontal height of the guide hole from the nearest edge of the support body in the casting device, the highest point of the die is the edge point with the highest position of the die, that is, the horizontal height of the die from the farthest edge of the support body in the casting device, and the distance between the lowest point of the guide hole and the highest point of the die is also the distance between the horizontal heights of the lowest point of the guide hole and the highest point of the die.

[0016] During the die film falling process, the surrounding air flow field is affected by the drying components composed of multiple air supply and return ports, such as Figure 1The first air supply port, the first air return port, the second air supply port, and the second air return port shown in the figure work together to form an unstable wind field. Among them, after the gas flowing from the stretching section to the casting section passes through the first windshield device and the die head, it is affected by the support body to form a gas vortex and turbulence in the casting direction area of ​​the die head. In order to avoid the direct effect of the airflow flowing from the casting section to the stretching section on the film landing point of the die head, a second windshield device is arranged. However, when a simple windshield is used as the second windshield device, it will aggravate the gas vortex and turbulence state, thereby causing the film landing point to drift, which is a nonlinear situation. It causes local stretching or accumulation of the film, thereby forming a situation with poor thickness uniformity, and producing problems such as horizontal and vertical stripes on the uneven film quality products. The present invention arranges guide holes on the upper part of the second windshield device, so that the air from the casting section and the stretching section can circulate through the guide holes, thereby avoiding the accumulation of airflow in the casting direction area of ​​the die head and ensuring the stability of the gas flow direction in this area.

[0017] A second aspect of the present invention provides a casting device comprising:

[0018] A support body, both sides of which are tensioned by a rotating drum; the support body is an annular belt-shaped support body;

[0019] a die head, located above one side of the support body;

[0020] The cast film stabilizing device as described above is located above the support body.

[0021] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the cross-sectional lower end shape of the first windshield device is consistent with the shape of the portion of the first windshield device projected onto the support body. If the projected portion is an arc, the cross-sectional lower end shape is an arc; if the projected portion is a straight line, the cross-sectional lower end shape is a straight line. Due to the presence of the grooves, the first windshield device forms a multi-layered structure with staggered heights, similar to a maze structure.

[0022] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the distance between the lower end of the first windshield device and the support body is 0.5-1 times the distance between the die head and the support body. The distance between the die head and the support body is the distance between the lowest point of the die head and the support body, excluding the distance of the groove part, that is, the lower end of the windshield is in a concave-convex form, and the distance is the spacing between the convex part and the support body. The distance between the lower end of the first windshield device and the support body is the distance between the lower end of the first windshield device and the projection position of the lower end of the first windshield device in the support body. Because the corresponding projection positions of the first windshield device and the support body are consistent in shape, that is, the distance between each point of the lower end of the first windshield device and the support body is consistent, preferably, the distance between the lower end of the first windshield device and the support body is 0.5-2mm.

[0023] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the distance between the second windshield device and the support body is 1-10 mm, preferably 1-2 mm, and the distance between the second windshield device and the support body is the distance between the edge of the second windshield device closest to the support body and the support body.

[0024] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the horizontal height of the ventilation holes from the nearest edge of the support body is 10-500 mm higher than the highest point of the die head, preferably 10-50 mm.

[0025] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the casting apparatus further includes a drying assembly located outside the support body. The drying assembly is composed of a plurality of return air inlets and air supply inlets, which are not specifically limited and can be selected according to the casting process. As an example, along the casting direction, the drying assembly includes, in sequence, a first air supply inlet, a first return air inlet, a second air supply inlet, a second return air inlet, a third return air inlet, and a third air supply inlet; along the casting direction, the drying assembly is located behind the second windshield device; the casting direction is also the direction of rotation of the support body.

[0026] The third aspect of the present invention provides a method for producing a cast film, comprising: using a casting device containing a cast film stabilizing device to perform casting to obtain the cast film.

[0027] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the production method includes: the solution is continuously cast through the die to form a cast film, and after drying along with the support body, it is peeled off from the support body and enters the stretching and drying process, and finally rolled up to obtain the film; the front part of the die head is provided with a first windshield device, and the rear part of the die head is provided with a second windshield device.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: during the casting process of the present invention, the process wind flowing from the stretching and drying section to the casting section can be intercepted by a first wind shielding device in a maze form to avoid direct influence on the film falling process; and a second wind shielding device is arranged behind the casting die film flow to further avoid the influence of the wind from the casting section to the stretching and drying section on the film falling process, and in order to avoid the formation of vortexes in the wind field between the die and the die casting direction wind shield, ventilation guide holes are arranged on the upper part of the second wind shielding device, so that the flow wind before and after the die is circulated from the area away from the film surface. The stabilizing device provided by the present invention can greatly eliminate the flow wind before and after the die film flow, and the uneven thickness of the film surface is improved, thereby improving the product quality.

[0117] Performance evaluation

[0118] For the film products obtained in the examples, single-layer films of a certain size were taken as samples and the following method was used to evaluate the quality of the transverse stripes and wavy film surface. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1.

[0119] 1. Horizontal stripes

[0120] refer to Figure 7Sample 36 is evaluated for horizontal streaks. First, prepare a bracket 51 to secure one edge of sample 35, perpendicular to the casting direction. Secure it with a fixing plate 53, which presses or clamps it. Place a fluorescent tube 52 above bracket 51. The tube's length must be greater than the width of the product 35. The fluorescent tube 52 is 1 meter above the fixing plate and parallel to the secured edge of sample 35. The bracket is 1-1.2 meters above the ground, where a dark velvet cloth 54 is laid. Inspector P stands 1-1.5 meters from the bracket. They grasp the two corners of the sample with both hands and level the sample, observing the reflected light 57 from the fluorescent tube 52 in sample 35 horizontally. Personnel P holds sample 35 taut and swings it up and down through an angle β. During this swinging process, if sample 35 exhibits horizontal streaks, the reflected light 57 will show deformation, primarily characterized by changes in thickness. Within a given width of sample 35, the number of changes in the reflected light 57 serves as the evaluation criterion. Typically, the width is 100 mm.

[0121] The evaluation criteria are:

[0122] A: 0;

[0123] B: 1-10;

[0124] C:>10.

[0125] 2.Wavy membrane surface

[0126] refer to Figure 7 The horizontal stripe quality evaluation was performed on sample 35. The evaluation device and operation process were the same as those for the horizontal stripe.

[0127] The evaluation criteria are to observe the linearity of the reflected light 55 from the fluorescent lamp 52 on the sample 36. The evaluation criteria are whether the linearity of the reflected light 55 is continuous, intermittent, or cannot form an image.

[0128] A: continuous;

[0129] B: intermittent;

[0130] C: Unable to form an image.

[0131] 3. The comprehensive quality assessment results are based on the poorer rating in the horizontal stripes and wavy film surface tests.
