TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of industrial textiles, and particularly relates to a one-way moisture-conducting and moisture-absorbing quick-drying nonwoven material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of society, people travel more and more frequently, which drives the rapid development of the market for products that provide convenience and save time for travel, and the demand increases, such as moisture-absorbing and quick-drying clothing, compressed towels, and hair-drying caps. Among them, moisture-absorbing and quick-drying towels and hair-drying caps are also a type of moisture-absorbing and quick-drying products that have emerged in recent years, and their research is still limited to traditional cotton fiber or viscose fiber fabrics, or synthetic fibers after post-treatment. For example, patent CN202211285275 introduces a moisture-absorbing and quick-drying material composed of porous polyester fibers, bamboo charcoal modified fibers, and silk blended together. The special structure of the porous polyester fibers and the bamboo charcoal modified fibers can endow the fabric with excellent moisture-absorbing and quick-drying properties. Patent CN202210824868 introduces a moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric obtained by spinning and weaving ramie fibers after antibacterial treatment. The fabric has good air permeability, strong water absorption capacity, and fast moisture dispersion speed due to the large voids in the structure of the ramie fibers. Li Shufang et al. studied the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying properties of polyester and polyamide fabrics after atmospheric pressure plasma treatment by testing the contact angle and longitudinal wicking height. It was found that the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying properties of the blended fiber fabrics were significantly improved. Zhao Lihuan et al. tested and compared the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying properties, bending length, and linting rate of orange petal-shaped filament nonwoven towels and cotton terry towels. It was found that the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying properties of the orange petal-shaped filament nonwoven towels met the national standard requirements, and the longer the washing time, the softer the fabric, and the smaller the linting rate.
[0003] For the above-mentioned moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabrics, although they have good water absorption, they have problems such as complex production process, low production efficiency, difficulty in drying after water absorption, large volume, high price, and inability to be used as disposable products. The equipment investment cost of the orange petal-shaped filament nonwoven material is relatively high, which leads to an increase in product cost. Although it can achieve moisture-absorbing and quick-drying properties, it cannot achieve one-way moisture-conducting properties.
[0004] With the improvement of people's health care consciousness and the change of consumption habits, the market demand for disposable hygiene products is showing an increasing trend, especially with the opening of domestic multiple pregnancy policy and the development of world population aging, people's consumption of high-end disposable hygiene products and performance requirements are rapidly increasing. Paper diaper is a convenient sanitary nursing product designed for infants, the elderly, incontinence and paralyzed patients. Since the product needs to contact the skin of the user, it is required to have a certain dryness and liquid absorption capacity. The current paper diaper is generally composed of four layers of surface layer, flow guide layer, absorption core layer and bottom film. The flow guide layer is located between the surface layer and the absorption core layer, which needs to quickly conduct the liquid received by the surface layer to the absorption core layer, keep the surface layer material dry in contact with the skin, and make the liquid absorbed by the absorption core layer not backflow to affect the surface layer material. Some experiments have found that after adding the flow guide layer, the liquid is fully absorbed by the flow guide layer material, and it is not easy to form accumulation on the surface of the paper diaper surface layer, thereby reducing the backflow by nearly half. And because the flow guide layer delays the downward infiltration of the liquid, the core layer can have more time and absorption area to absorb the liquid, thereby effectively preventing the phenomenon of local gel blockage caused by the instantaneous absorption of a large amount of liquid, so the setting of the flow guide layer is very beneficial to the performance improvement of the paper diaper.
[0005] The commonly used flow guide layer at present is made of ES fiber by carding and hot air bonding. Due to the influence of the structure and thickness of the flow guide layer, the ordinary hot air nonwoven flow guide layer has a long liquid permeation time, and after absorbing the liquid, it cannot quickly disperse in the absorption core layer, resulting in low liquid absorption rate of the absorption core layer. Therefore, the improvement of the structure of the flow guide layer is relatively concentrated. For example, Wang Huan et al. prepared a double-layer composite flow guide layer material with a flow guide layer and a damping layer, which used the differential capillary effect of the two fiber webs to prevent liquid backflow; Zheng Lei et al. prepared a multi-layer composite flow guide layer with a wave-shaped cross-section in the transverse direction of the middle layer by hot air penetration bonding technology, and discussed the influence of different fiber densities on the flow guide layer. Although these studies have achieved one-way wetting function and improved the flow guide performance, the product is not prepared in one step online, especially the speed matching of the wave-shaped structure material during the unwinding and conveying process will affect the structure of the product and thus the flow guide performance. Yue Pengfei et al. prepared a flow guide layer material by blending ES fiber and PP fiber, and studied the influence of blending ratio and preparation process on the performance of the flow guide layer. However, the flow guide performance is improved after blending, but the one-way wetting problem cannot be effectively solved, so the dryness problem of the surface layer material cannot be fundamentally solved. Therefore, it is urgent to find a one-step formed one-way wetting and quick-drying nonwoven material and its preparation method. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0046] The concept and technical effects of the present application will be described below in combination with examples, so as to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present application. Obviously, the described examples are only part of the examples of the present application, but not all examples. Based on the examples of the present application, other examples obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application. Among them, the hydrophilic polyester fiber and the shaped cross-section polyamide 6 in the examples are from Yizheng Chemical Fibre Co., Ltd.

[0049] A preparation method of the one-way moisture conducting and absorbing fast-drying nonwoven material as described above, comprising the following steps:
[0050] (1) The hydrophilic polyester fiber is mixed, carded, cross-laid to form a layer of fiber web, sent to the cylinder water jet area, pre-wetted, then water jet entangled through four water jets with water pressures of 3MPa, 3MPa, 5MPa and 6MPa, and then sent to the lower part of the steel pipe of the flat net water jet area with steel pipe support.
[0051] (2) The shaped cross-section polyamide 6 fibers are opened, mixed and carded to form a layer of parallel fiber web, which is sent to the top of the steel pipe support in the flat net water jet area, and after pre-wetting, it is subjected to four water jets and cross fiber web entanglement after circular net water jet area to perform composite water jet entanglement, and the water pressure is 3 MPa, 6 MPa, 9 MPa and 9 MPa respectively. In the steel pipe support part, the water needle rebounds after meeting the steel pipe, and the two layers of fiber web form a pore structure corresponding to the diameter of the steel pipe in the middle, and the two layers of fiber web are tightly entangled into a layer of fiber web in the part without the steel pipe, thus forming a one-way moisture-conducting and moisture-absorbing and quick-drying porous structure non-woven material.

[0052] (3) A circular roller slightly presses the fiber web before it enters the oven at the outlet end of the steel pipe, which can maintain the pore structure in the fiber web and make the surface of the fiber web flat, and then it is sent to a three-layer flat net drying oven with a length of 4 meters, the temperature of the lower layer is set to 100℃, the temperature of the middle layer is set to 108℃, and the temperature of the upper layer is set to 115℃, and the speed of the drying hot air flow is 2 m / s.

[0054] The cross-laid hydrophilic polyester fiber web 240 is pre-wetted by the first pre-wetting head 171 in the circular net water jet area, and then subjected to water jet entanglement by the four circularly arranged first water jet heads 172, and the water pressure is gradually increased from back to front. Under the suction of the first vacuum water suction box 172, it is conveyed to the bottom of the steel pipe 190 in the flat net water jet machine 180; the shaped cross-section polyamide 6 fiber web 250 is sent to the top of the steel pipe 190 in the flat net water jet machine 180, and after pre-wetting by the second pre-wetting head 181, it is subjected to composite water jet with the hydrophilic polyester fiber web below the steel pipe 190 under the second water jet head 182. The steel pipe 190 extends to the front end of the circular roller 200, and under the light pressure of the circular roller 200 and the flat net curtain, the pore structure and the surface of the non-woven material are maintained, and under the conveying action of the lower layer conveying net curtain 270, the middle layer conveying net curtain 280 and the upper layer conveying net curtain 290, it is dried at 100-120℃ to form a one-way moisture-conducting and moisture-absorbing and quick-drying non-woven material 300, and finally it is cut and wound to form a finished product.

[0056] A one-way wet permeable and quick-drying nonwoven material, comprising the following raw materials by mass fraction: hydrophilic polyester fiber web 58%, profiled cross-section polyamide 6 fiber web 33%; the basis weight of the one-way wet permeable and quick-drying nonwoven material is 60 g / m 2 ; the profiled cross-section is a trilobal cross-section; the one-way wet permeable and quick-drying nonwoven material has a pore structure containing porous silica wet permeable microspheres, the content of the porous silica wet permeable microspheres is 9%, the particle size of the porous silica wet permeable microspheres is 50 nm, and the pore size of the porous silica wet permeable microspheres is 15 nm.
[0057] A preparation method of the one-way wet permeable and quick-drying nonwoven material as described above, comprising the following steps:
[0058] (1) The hydrophilic polyester fiber is opened and mixed, carded into a web, cross-laid to form a layer of web, sent to the circular screen water jet area, pre-wetted, then subjected to four water jets for water jet entanglement, with water pressures of 3 MPa, 3 MPa, 5 MPa, and 6 MPa, respectively, and then sent to the lower side of the steel pipe support of the flat screen water jet area.
[0059] (2) The profiled cross-section polyamide 6 fiber is opened and mixed, carded into a parallel web, sent to the upper side of the steel pipe support of the flat screen water jet area, pre-wetted, and then subjected to four water jets for composite water jet entanglement with the cross-web after the circular screen water jet area, with water pressures of 3 MPa, 6 MPa, 9 MPa, and 9 MPa, respectively. In the steel pipe support part, the water needles rebound after meeting the steel pipe, forming a pore structure corresponding to the diameter of the steel pipe in the middle of the two layers of web, and the two layers of web are tightly entangled into a layer of web in the part without the steel pipe, thus forming a one-way wet permeable and quick-drying pore structure nonwoven material.

There is a circular roller that lightly presses the web before it enters the drying room above the outlet end of the steel pipe, which can maintain the pore structure in the web and make the surface of the web flat.

Since there is no external force during the hot air drying process, the moisture is carried out from the wet state one-way moisture transfer and moisture absorption and quick-drying hydroentangled nonwoven material by the hot air, and the pore structure shape of the material does not change, and after the edge cutting and winding, the one-way moisture transfer and moisture absorption and quick-drying hydroentangled nonwoven material is formed.
[0062] The cross section of the one-way moisture transfer and moisture absorption and quick-drying nonwoven material is shown in Figure 2 .
[0063] A process flow of a one-way moisture transfer and moisture absorption and quick-drying nonwoven material is shown in Figure 3 , including the following steps:
[0064] The first opener 100 opens the mixed hydrophilic polyester fibers, which are fed into the first carding machine 130 through the fiber conveying curtain 120, and then sent to the hydroentangling machine 170 after being laid by the cross-lapper 160 and hydroentangled, and then sent below the steel pipe 190 of the flat screen hydroentangling machine 180; the second opener 110 opens the mixed profiled cross-section polyamide 6 fibers and feeds them into the second carding machine 140, which are transferred to the upper side of the steel pipe 190 of the flat screen hydroentangling machine 180 through the laying curtain 150, and combined with the lower layer web to form a hydroentangled nonwoven material with a pore structure by flat screen hydroentangling. The steel pipe 190 inlet end can continuously send the porous silica moisture transfer microspheres, which are kept in the pore structure and surface flatness under the light pressure of the circular roller 200, to ensure that the porous silica moisture transfer microspheres smoothly enter the pore structure of the hydroentangled nonwoven material from the steel pipe 190 outlet end to form a wet state one-way moisture transfer and moisture absorption and quick-drying hydroentangled nonwoven material, which is then dried at low temperature in the three-layer flat screen drying room 210, cut by the edge cutting machine 220, and wound into a one-way moisture transfer and moisture absorption and quick-drying hydroentangled nonwoven material by the winding machine 230.
[0065] The web is hydroentangled in the circular screen and flat screen hydroentangling area and dried in the three-layer flat screen drying room process, as shown in Figure 5 , including the following steps:
[0066] The cross-laid hydrophilic polyester fiber web 240 is pre-wetted by the first pre-wetting head 171 in the circular net water-jet, and then is water-jet entangled by the four first water-jet heads 172 arranged in a circle, with the water pressure gradually increased from the back to the front. The hydrophilic polyester fiber web is transported to the lower side of the steel pipe 190 in the flat net water-jet machine 180 under the suction of the first vacuum water suction tank 173. The parallel-laid special-shaped cross-section polyamide 6 fiber web 250 is sent to the upper side of the steel pipe 190 in the flat net water-jet machine 180, and is pre-wetted by the second pre-wetting head 181 before being subjected to composite water-jet with the hydrophilic polyester fiber web under the second water-jet head 182. The steel pipe 190 can continuously input porous silica wetting microspheres 260 as needed. The steel pipe 190 extends to the front end of the circular roller 200, and the porosity structure and the flat surface of the non-woven material are maintained under the light pressure of the circular roller 200 and the flat net curtain. The porous silica wetting microspheres 260 are successfully entered into the porosity structure of the non-woven material and are retained before entering the three-layer flat net drying room 210. The non-woven material is dried at 100-120°C under the conveying action of the lower conveying net curtain 270, the middle conveying net curtain 280 and the upper conveying net curtain 290 to form the one-way wetting and moisture absorption quick-drying non-woven material 300. Finally, the edge is cut and wound to form the finished product.
