[0033] Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals in the following description.

[0034] Figure 1 , Figure 2A , Figure 2B and Figure 2CThe first embodiment of the method for making a soft thin layer and the product thereof of the present invention is shown in FIG. The method for making a soft thin layer of the present invention comprises the following steps in sequence: a step (a), a step (b), a step (c), and a step (d). The method for making a soft thin layer of the present invention of the first embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 A manufacturing system 9 is shown to implement it.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the step (a) is to provide a first release paper 2 on a conveyor belt 91 provided with a plurality of air holes 910 in a continuously moving state of the manufacturing system 9. In the first embodiment of the present invention, an air suction device 92 is provided below the conveyor belt 91, so that the first release paper 2 is not only driven by the conveyor belt 91 but also sucked by the air of the air suction device 92, so as to be sucked on the conveyor belt 91 through the air holes 910.

[0036] The step (b) is to first feed a plurality of polymer masterbatches 301 into an extruder 93 of the manufacturing system 9 for extrusion and then convey them to a fiber forming device 94 of the manufacturing system 9 to produce a plurality of semi-molten thermoplastic fibers 302 or a molten thermoplastic material 302', and provide the semi-molten thermoplastic fibers 302 or the molten thermoplastic material 302' on the first release paper 2 after the step (a), so that the semi-molten thermoplastic fibers 302 or the molten thermoplastic material 302' on the first release paper 2 are driven by the conveyor belt 91 to become a moving semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 or a moving molten thermoplastic material layer 303'.

[0037] The step (c) is to cover the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 or the molten thermoplastic material layer 303' in motion with a cover 95 of the manufacturing system 9 and heat the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 or the molten thermoplastic material layer 303' in motion by a heater 96 of the manufacturing system 9. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the cover 95 is provided with a passage 950 for the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 or the molten thermoplastic material layer 303' in motion to pass through, thereby shielding a periphery and an upper portion of the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 or the molten thermoplastic material layer 303' in motion, so that a side 304 of the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 or the molten thermoplastic material layer 303' in motion in the passage 950 can be in a molten state due to the heat energy supplied by the heater 96. The side 304 of the moving semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 or the moving molten thermoplastic material layer 303 ′ contacts the first release paper 2 .

[0038] The step (d) is to take the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 or the molten thermoplastic material layer 303' away from the heater 96 on the conveyor belt 91 and remove the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 or the molten thermoplastic material layer 303'. Figure 1 and Figure 2A After the first release paper 2 is formed, a first layer of the soft thin layer of the first embodiment is obtained. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the first layer of the soft thin layer is indicated by 3a and has a first side 31 heated and melted by the heater 96, a second side 32 opposite to the first side 31, and a fluffy portion 33 connecting the first side 31 and the second side 32. The first side 31 of the first layer 3a of the soft thin layer corresponds to the side 304 of the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 or the molten thermoplastic material layer 303' in motion.

[0039] In step (b) of the first embodiment of the present invention, the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber 302 and the moving semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 are used as examples for explanation, but the invention is not limited thereto; therefore, the first layer 3a of the soft thin layer obtained in step (d) of the first embodiment is used as an example for explanation, but the invention is not limited thereto. It should be noted that when the molten thermoplastic material 302' and the moving molten thermoplastic material layer 303' are used as examples for explanation in step (b), the first layer 3a of the soft thin layer obtained in step (d) is a continuous film of fabric.

[0040] From the detailed description of the manufacturing method of the first embodiment, it can be seen that the soft thin layer of the first embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 2A , Figure 2B and Figure 2C As shown, it includes the first layer 3a made of thermoplastic material. The first layer 3a includes the first side 31 and the second side 32 arranged opposite to each other, and the fluffy part 33 connecting the first side 31 and the second side 32. In the first embodiment, the first side 31 has a plurality of bright surface areas 311, the second side 32 has a fluffy structure 321, and the bright surface areas 311 of the first side 31 of the first layer 3a are connected to each other to form a flat first mirror surface 30a.

[0041] In detail, the actual state of the second side 32 of the first layer 3a of the soft thin layer of the first embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 2B As shown in the OM image of FIG. 1 , the fluffy structure 321 has a fluffy appearance, and the first side 31 is as shown in FIG. Figure 2CAs shown in the OM image, the surface of the soft thin layer 3a is melted by the heat energy supplied by the heater 96 to present a mirror appearance. Therefore, the first side 31 of the first layer 3a of the soft thin layer of the first embodiment of the present invention has a lower porosity than the second side 32, which can maintain the breathable function and have the effect of water repellent, and is suitable for single-sided breathable and water repellent fabrics.

[0042] Although the method of the first embodiment of the present invention provides the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber 302 on the first release paper 2 during the implementation of the step (b) and obtains the first layer 3a of the soft thin layer after the implementation of the step (d), the non-woven fabric is used as an example for explanation. However, it is worth mentioning that the first embodiment of the present invention can also replace the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber 302 in the step (b) with a fabric (not shown), and a mirror fabric can also be obtained after the implementation of the step (d).

[0043] Figure 3 , Figure 4A and Figure 4B A second embodiment of the method for making a soft thin layer and the product thereof of the present invention is shown. The method for making the second embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment, except that the second embodiment further includes a step (a') before the step (a).

[0044] Specifically, the manufacturing method of the second embodiment of the present invention is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the step (a') is to set a forming mold 97 having a first predetermined pattern on the conveyor belt 91, so that the forming mold 97 is driven by the conveyor belt 91 and is also sucked by the suction device 92. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the forming mold 97 is an embossing mold having the first predetermined pattern, which can be implemented by a forming device disclosed by the applicant in the early publication invention patent case No. TW201945209 in Taiwan, China. In addition, in step (a) of the second embodiment, the suction force of the suction device 92 is also increased, so that the first release paper 2 on the forming mold 97 is also sucked by the suction force of the suction device 92 after being driven by the conveyor belt 91, thereby forming a second predetermined pattern corresponding to the first predetermined pattern on the first release paper 2. Therefore, in step (b) of the second embodiment, the semi-molten thermoplastic fibers 302 on the first release paper 2 on the forming mold 97 are driven by the conveyor belt 91, and a third predetermined pattern 3111 corresponding to the second predetermined pattern is formed on the moving semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 according to the second predetermined pattern on the first release paper 2, so that after performing step (d) of the second embodiment and removing the semi-molten thermoplastic fibers 302 on the first release paper 2 on the forming mold 97, the semi-molten thermoplastic fibers 302 on the first release paper 2 are driven by the conveyor belt 91, and ... Figure 4AAfter the first release paper 2 is formed, a first layer of the soft thin layer of the second embodiment is obtained. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the first layer of the soft thin layer is still indicated by the mark 3a, and the first mirror surface 30a of the first side 31 of the first layer 3a of the soft thin layer has the third predetermined pattern 3111.

[0045] In detail, the actual state of the third predetermined pattern 3111 of the first side 31 of the first layer 3a of the soft thin layer of the second embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 4B Therefore, the soft thin layer of the second embodiment of the present invention is suitable as a fabric for clothing and household accessories due to its bright and beautiful appearance.

[0046] Although the second embodiment of the present invention uses the forming mold 97 to make the first side 31 of the first layer 3a of the soft thin layer material produced by the manufacturing method of the second embodiment have the third predetermined pattern 3111, it is worth mentioning that the third predetermined pattern 3111 of the soft thin layer material of the second embodiment of the present invention can also omit the forming mold 97 and be implemented by the first embodiment instead. In other words, the first release paper 2 used in the manufacturing method of the first embodiment is replaced with a release paper with the second predetermined pattern (such as embossing) (not shown) for implementation. After executing the manufacturing method of the first embodiment in this way, the third predetermined pattern 3111 of the soft thin layer material can also be produced. Figure 4A and Figure 4B The soft thin layer shown.

[0047] See also Figure 5 A third embodiment of the soft thin layer of the present invention is substantially the same as the first embodiment or the second embodiment, and the difference is that the soft thin layer of the third embodiment includes two first layers as described in the first embodiment or includes two first layers as described in the second embodiment. For the sake of clarity, the two first layers are respectively distinguished as a first layer 3a and another first layer 3b. In the third embodiment of the present invention, the example substantially the same as the second embodiment is used for explanation, that is, the soft thin layer of the third embodiment includes two first layers as described in the second embodiment, but is not limited thereto. Specifically, a third predetermined pattern 3111 of a first mirror surface 30a of a first side 31 of the other first layer 3b is the third predetermined pattern 3111 of the first mirror surface 30a of the first side 31 of the first layer 3a facing and contacting, and the third predetermined patterns 3111 of the two first layers are bonded together after heating.

[0048] It can be understood that when the soft thin layer object of the third embodiment includes two first layer bodies as described in the first embodiment, the first mirror surface of the first side of one of the two first layer bodies faces and contacts the first mirror surface of the first side of the other of the two first layer bodies, and the first mirror surfaces of the two first layer bodies are bonded to each other after heating.

[0049] In addition, the method for making the soft thin layer of the third embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment or the second embodiment, except that the third embodiment further includes a step (d'), a step (e'), and a step (f') in sequence after the step (d). The method for making the soft thin layer of the third embodiment of the present invention is also described by taking the method substantially the same as that of the second embodiment as an example, but is not limited thereto.

[0050] In detail, step (d') of the third embodiment is to remove the first layer 3a of the soft thin layer after the implementation of step (d) from the conveyor belt 91. Step (e') of the third embodiment can be to cut the first layer 3a of the soft thin layer into two sections, that is, to obtain two first layers, and to arrange the third predetermined patterns 3111 of the first sides 31 of the two first layers to face each other and contact each other. Step (e') of the third embodiment can also be to directly obtain two first layers, that is, the first layer 3a and the other first layer 3b after step (d) of the third embodiment, and to take the third predetermined pattern 3111 of the first side 31 of the other first layer 3b to face and contact the third predetermined pattern 3111 of the first side 31 of the first layer 3a. Step (f') of the third embodiment is to heat the two first layers so that the third predetermined patterns 3111 of the first sides 31 of the two first layers are in a molten state after heating and are combined with each other.

[0051] It is worth mentioning here that the existing non-woven fabrics, based on their own fluffy structure, require glue to combine different non-woven fabrics. In contrast, in the first and second embodiments of the present invention, the flatness of the first side 31 of the first layer 3a of the soft thin layer is relatively higher than the fluffy structure 321 of the second side 32. Therefore, it is only necessary to set the first sides 31 of the two first layers towards each other and contact each other, and then melt the first sides 31 that are in contact with each other by heating, so that the process is more simplified and no glue is needed. It should be noted here that the first sides 31 of the two first layers of the soft thin layer of the third embodiment of the present invention have the function of low air permeability, and the second side 32 has a soft touch. Therefore, the soft thin layer of the third embodiment can be used as a warm material. It is more worth mentioning that the soft thin layer of the third embodiment of the present invention is to set the first sides 31 of the two first layers towards each other and contact each other, and then melt the first sides 31 that are in contact with each other by heating to combine with each other. Therefore, the two first layers of the soft thin layer of the third embodiment are made of the same material, which is different from the different materials (including adhesive) in the prior art. Therefore, when the soft thin layer of the third embodiment made of the same material needs to be recycled, the purity and reuse rate of the recycled material can be greatly improved.

[0052] Figure 6 and Figure 7 A fourth embodiment of the method for making a soft thin layer of the present invention and the product thereof is shown. The method for making the fourth embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment, except that the fourth embodiment does not include the step (d), but includes a step (d"), a step (e"), a step (f"), a step (g"), and a step (h") after the step (e).

[0053] The step (d”) is to remove the first layer 3a from the conveyor belt 91 and flip the first layer 3a so that the fluffy structure 321 of the second side 32 is disposed downward. At this time, the first release paper 2 is not removed from the first layer 3a.

[0054] The step (e”) is to provide a second release paper 4 on the conveyor belt 91 , so that the second release paper 4 is driven by the conveyor belt 91 and is also sucked by the suction device 92 , so as to be sucked onto the conveyor belt 91 through the air holes 910 .

[0055] The step (f”) is to provide the first layer 3a after implementing the step (d”) on the second release paper 4 after the step (e”) so that the second side 32 of the first layer 3a contacts the second release paper 4, so that the first layer 3a on the second release paper 4 is driven by the conveyor belt 91.

[0056] The step (g”) is to cover the cover 95 on the first layer 3a after the step (f”) and heat the first layer 3a by the heater 96. In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the cover 95 covers the surrounding and top of the first layer 3a, so that the second side 32 of the first layer 3a located in the channel 950 can be molten due to the heat energy supplied by the heater 96.

[0057] The step (h") is to take the first layer 3a away from the heater 96 on the conveyor belt 91 and remove the first layer 3a. Figure 6 and Figure 7 After the first release paper 2 and the second release paper 4 are formed, the second side 32 of the first layer 3a is melted and solidified into a second mirror surface 30b connected to the fluffy portion 33, so that the fluffy portion 33 of the first layer 3a is located between the first side 31 and the second mirror surface 30b. Therefore, the soft thin layer obtained by the manufacturing method of the fourth embodiment is heated and melted at the fluffy structure 321 of the second side 32 away from the first side 31 of the first layer 3a to solidify into the second mirror surface 30b.

[0058] According to the detailed description of the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the fluffy portion 33 between the first side 31 and the second mirror surface 30b can provide the soft thin layer with a breathable function, and the first side 31 and the second mirror surface 30b can provide the soft thin layer of the fourth embodiment with a water-repellent function. Therefore, the soft thin layer of the fourth embodiment of the present invention can be used as a double-sided breathable and water-repellent fabric.

[0059] Although the fourth embodiment of the present invention is based on the Figure 7 The soft thin layer (i.e., the first layer 3a with the first mirror surface 30a and the second mirror surface 30b) shown in the figure is used as an example for explanation. However, it should be supplemented here that the soft thin layer obtained by the fourth embodiment can also be further processed by the method of the third embodiment. That is to say, the first layer 3a of the fourth embodiment is cut into multiple sections to obtain multiple first layers, and the first mirror surfaces 30a (or the second mirror surface 30b side) of the multiple first layers are arranged opposite to each other and in contact, so that the first mirror surfaces 30a (or the second mirror surface 30b side) in contact with each other are melted and bonded by means of heating. The soft thin layer obtained in this way can further enhance its own filtering and water pressure resistance effects.

[0060] Figure 8 , Fig. 9A and Fig. 9BA fifth embodiment of the method for making a soft thin layer and a product thereof of the present invention is shown. The method for making the fifth embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment, except that the fifth embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps in sequence: a step (A), a step (B), a step (C), and a step (D).

[0061] like Figure 8 As shown, the step (A) is to first put the polymer masterbatch 301 into the extruder 93 for extrusion and then convey it to the fiber forming device 94 to produce the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber 302, and then provide the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber 302 on the conveyor belt 91, so that the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber 302 becomes the moving semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 after being driven by the conveyor belt 91. Similarly, the suction device 92 disposed under the conveyor belt 91 suctions the moving semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 through the air holes 910, so that the moving semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 is adsorbed on the conveyor belt 91.

[0062] The step (B) is to provide a third release paper 5 on the moving semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303, so that the third release paper 5 on the moving semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 is indirectly driven by the conveyor belt 91. The third release paper 5 has a plurality of concave portions 51 and a plurality of convex portions 52 arranged at intervals from each other. The periphery of each convex portion 52 is adjacent to the corresponding concave portion 51. And each concave portion 51 of the third release paper 5 contacts the moving semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303, and each convex portion 52 of the third release paper 5 does not contact the moving semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303.

[0063] The step (C) is to cover the cover 95 on the third release paper 5 after the step (B) and heat the moving semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 by the heater 96. The cover 95 shields the periphery and the top of the third release paper 5, so that the moving semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 in contact with the third release paper 5 is melted.

[0064] The step (D) is to solidify the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 in motion after it is away from the heater 96 to form the first layer 3a of the soft thin layer of the fifth embodiment. When the soft thin layer of the fifth embodiment is actually used, the third release paper 5 is removed. Fig. 9AAs shown, the first side 31 of the first layer 3a partially contacts the third release paper 5, and the first side 31 of the first layer 3a also has a plurality of matte areas 312 spaced apart from each other. The peripheral edge of each matte area 312 is adjacent to the corresponding bright area 311. And each bright area 311 of the first layer 3a corresponds to the melting point of the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 in the movement when implementing the step (C).

[0065] In step (B) of the present invention, each concave portion 51 of the third release paper 5 contacting the moving semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 is moved downward after being sucked by the suction device 92 to press the moving semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303, so that after the implementation of step (D), each bright surface area 311 of the first side 31 of the first layer 3a is recessed toward the second side 32. Therefore, the fifth embodiment of the present invention makes the first side 31 of the first layer 3a present a three-dimensional visual effect through the bright surface area 311 and the matte surface area 312.

[0066] Specifically, the concave portion 51 and the convex portion 52 of the third release paper 5 together define a fourth predetermined pattern 50 of the third release paper 5. Therefore, after the step (D) of the fifth embodiment is implemented, the fourth predetermined pattern 50 of the third release paper 5 is formed corresponding to the first side 31 of the first layer 3a. The fifth embodiment of the soft thin layer of the present invention is as follows: Fig. 9A and Fig. 9B As shown, the fourth predetermined pattern 50 corresponding to the first side 31 of the first layer 3a is a Fig. 9B The pattern of clouds shown.

[0067] Fig.10 , Fig.11A and Fig. 11B A sixth embodiment of the method for making a soft thin layer of the present invention and the product thereof is shown. The method for making the sixth embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the fifth embodiment, except that the fourth predetermined pattern 50 defined by the concave portion 51 and the convex portion 52 of the third release paper 5 in the method for making the sixth embodiment of the present invention is a grid pattern, and the method for making the sixth embodiment further includes a step (A') before the step (A). The step (A') is to provide a second layer 6 having a fifth predetermined pattern 61 on the conveyor belt 91, so that the second layer 6 is adsorbed on the conveyor belt 91 due to the suction of the suction device 92 when driven by the conveyor belt 91.

[0068] Specifically, the second layer 6 is provided on the conveyor belt 91 before the semi-molten thermoplastic fiber layer 303 in motion is solidified to form the first layer 3a. Therefore, the soft thin layer obtained by the method of the sixth embodiment of the present invention after the step (D) is implemented is as follows: Fig.11A As shown, it further comprises a second layer 6 having the fifth predetermined pattern 61. The second layer 6 overlaps the first layer 3a and is connected to the second side 32 of the first layer 3a. In the sixth embodiment of the present invention, the second layer 6 is made of non-woven fabric.

[0069] Fig. 11B The actual image of the soft thin layer obtained by the method of the sixth embodiment of the present invention is shown. Fig.11A and Fig. 11B It can be seen from the display that the fifth predetermined pattern 61 of the second layer 6 is a pattern with a plurality of wavy lines stacked in sequence, and the grid lines of the fourth predetermined pattern 50 of the third release paper 5 are formed correspondingly on the first side 31 of the first layer 3a. The fifth predetermined pattern 61 of the second layer 6 has a plurality of regions, and the colors of some of the regions are different from each other (e.g., khaki, blue, red, etc.). Fig. 11B The matte area 312 of the second layer 6 can clearly show the wavy pattern of the fifth predetermined pattern 61, and the Fig. 11B The bright surface area 311 can only slightly present the wavy pattern of the fifth predetermined pattern 61 of the second layer 6, or even cannot present the wavy pattern of the fifth predetermined pattern 61 of the second layer 6. This shows that the degree to which the fifth predetermined pattern 61 of the second layer 6 can be presented from the matte surface area 312 of the first side 31 of the first layer 3a is higher than the degree to which the fifth predetermined pattern 61 of the second layer 6 can be presented from the bright surface area 311 of the first side 31 of the first layer 3a.

[0070] Although the fourth predetermined pattern 50 of the third release paper 5 and the fifth predetermined pattern 61 of the second layer 6 of the sixth embodiment of the present invention are described by taking the grid pattern and the wave pattern as examples, they are not limited thereto. For example, the fourth predetermined pattern 50 of the third release paper 5 can also be a leather pattern, and the fifth predetermined pattern 61 of the second layer 6 can be a snakeskin pattern. Therefore, the first side 31 of the first layer 3a of the soft thin layer obtained by implementing the sixth embodiment can present a three-dimensional visual effect of snakeskin pattern.

[0071] It can be seen from the detailed description of the fifth and sixth embodiments of the present invention that the fourth predetermined pattern 50 defined by the concave portion 51 and the convex portion 52 of the third release paper 5 can be formed on the first side 31 of the first layer 3a after the step (D) is implemented, so that each concave portion 51 and each convex portion 52 of the third release paper 5 respectively correspond to each bright surface area 311 and each matte surface area 312 of the first side 31 of the first layer 3a. In addition, the wavy pattern of the fifth predetermined pattern 61 of the second layer 6 and the colors of different regions thereof can also be clearly or vaguely presented on the first side 31 of the first layer 3a, increasing the application breadth of the soft thin layer obtained by the embodiments of the present invention.

[0072] In summary, the soft thin layer material of the present invention can be provided to the industry as single-sided breathable and water-repellent fabrics, clothing and household accessories, thermal insulation materials, and double-sided breathable and water-repellent fabrics. It can also make the first side 31 of the first layer 3a present a three-dimensional visual effect. The fifth predetermined pattern 61 of the second layer 6 can make the first side 31 present obvious or vague textures to expand its application breadth, so it can indeed achieve the purpose of the present invention.

[0073] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention. All simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims and description of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
