Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a reinforcing mesh and a wound body of a reinforcing mesh.

Background Art

[0002] Mortar used for cement products, the outer walls of buildings, etc. is likely to crack due to drying shrinkage. If such cracks are left unattended for a long time, water may penetrate and cause leakage, or the strength may decrease and the mortar may deteriorate. Therefore, attempts have been made to embed a reinforcing mesh in mortar or concrete to prevent the expansion of cracks.

[0003] As an example of such a reinforcing mesh, Patent Document 1 below discloses a crack inhibitor for a cement hardened body, which is a net-like body in which a first thread and a second thread shorter in length than the first thread are combined in a net shape. In Patent Document 1, (tensile rigidity of the first thread) / (tensile rigidity of the second thread) in the net-like body is set to 1.5 to 30.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The reinforcing mesh such as that in Patent Document 1 is assumed to be directly inserted into mortar. The larger the opening of the mesh, the less it is affected by the aggregate in the matrix and the easier it is to construct. Also, in the placement of mortar, since equipment such as a vibrator is used for placement, a strong caulking process is required so that the warp and weft threads of the mesh do not come off even in such an environment. In addition, it is necessary to protect the fiber itself so that the fiber does not unravel and the tensile strength does not decrease.

[0006] In order to solve such problems, usually, a method of increasing the coating amount of the secondary binder for plugging treatment can be considered. However, when the coating amount of the secondary binder is increased, the mesh itself may become hard, or when it is used in the form of a wound body, winding distortion may occur and construction may become difficult. In addition, a method of softening the composition of the secondary binder itself can also be considered. However, in this case, adhesiveness occurs in the secondary binder film, so blocking may occur when it is used in the form of a wound body, and it may be difficult to unwind from the wound body.

[0007] Further, in the secondary binder coating step of the mesh in which a large amount of fibers are arranged in the uniaxial direction and the opening is enlarged as in Patent Document 1, the mesh may become unstable, the warp and weft may meander and be plugged, and a desired tensile strength may not be obtained.

[0008] An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a reinforcing mesh that is less likely to cause winding distortion when formed into a wound body and has excellent workability, and a reinforcing mesh wound body formed by winding the reinforcing mesh.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0009] The method for manufacturing a reinforcing mesh according to the present invention is a method for manufacturing a biaxial reinforcing mesh composed of warp and weft. In the method, a mesh fabric is obtained by weaving at least one of the warp and weft so as to entangle a heat-fusible yarn containing thermoplastic resin fibers, and the warp and weft are crimped by subjecting the mesh fabric to heating and pressing treatments. And a step of obtaining a reinforcing mesh by applying a secondary binder to the mesh fabric after the crimping.

[0010] In the present invention, in the step of obtaining the reinforcing mesh, it is preferable to apply the secondary binder so that the loss on ignition of the reinforcing mesh is 0.5% by mass to 10.0% by mass.

[0011] In the present invention, in the step of obtaining the mesh fabric, a first heat-fusible yarn containing a first thermoplastic resin fiber is wound along at least one of the warp yarns and the weft yarns, and a second heat-fusible yarn containing a second thermoplastic resin fiber is wound around at least one of the warp yarns, the weft yarns, and the first heat-fusible yarn so as to be wound around it, thereby winding it. It is preferable that the second heat-fusible yarn further contains inorganic fibers. In the second heat-fusible yarn, the content ratio of the second thermoplastic resin fiber to the inorganic fiber is more preferably 3:7 to 7:3 by mass ratio.

[0012] In the present invention, in the step of obtaining the mesh fabric, the warp yarns and the weft yarns are woven by plain weaving, and at the crossing points of the warp yarns and the weft yarns, the second heat-fusible yarn is wound from one main surface of the mesh fabric toward the other main surface, and from the other main surface of the mesh fabric. It is preferable to wind it back to the one main surface.

[0013] The reinforcing mesh wound body according to the present invention is a reinforcing mesh wound body in which a biaxial reinforcing mesh composed of warp yarns and weft yarns is wound, and the reinforcing mesh contains a secondary binder. When 500 mm is cut out from the reinforcing mesh wound body in the winding direction of the reinforcing mesh and placed on a flat surface, the shortest distance connecting both ends in the winding direction of the reinforcing mesh is 400 mm or more. It is characterized by that.

[0014] In the present invention, the loss on ignition of the reinforcing mesh is preferably 0.5% by mass to 10.0% by mass.

[0015] In the present invention, the maximum interval between rows formed by the warp yarns or the weft yarns is preferably 20 mm or more and 60 mm or less.

[0016] In the present invention, the tensile strength of one row formed by the warp yarns or the weft yarns is preferably 800 N / row or more.

Effects of the Invention

[0017] According to the present invention, there can be provided a method for manufacturing a reinforcing mesh that is less likely to develop winding irregularities when wound into a wound body and has excellent workability, and a reinforcing mesh wound body formed by winding the reinforcing mesh.

[0019] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments will be described. However, the following embodiments are merely illustrative, and the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. Also, in each drawing, members having substantially the same function may be referred to by the same reference numerals.

[0020] [Manufacturing Method of Reinforcing Mesh] In the manufacturing method of the reinforcing mesh of the present invention, first, a mesh fabric is obtained by weaving at least one of the warp and weft so as to wind a heat-sealing yarn containing thermoplastic resin fibers (mesh fabric forming step). Next, the warp and weft are crimped by heating and pressing the mesh fabric (crimping step). Next, a secondary binder is applied to the crimped mesh fabric (secondary binder application step). Thereby, a biaxial reinforcing mesh composed of warp and weft can be obtained.

[0021] In the method for manufacturing the reinforcing mesh of the present invention, after weaving at least one of the warp and weft threads so that a heat-fusible thread containing thermoplastic resin fibers is wound around it, heat and pressure treatment is performed. Therefore, the caulking strength of the warp and weft threads can be increased, and the mechanical strength can be increased. Further, since the caulking strength of the warp and weft threads can be increased, the amount of the secondary binder in the subsequent process can be reduced. As a result, the flexibility of the reinforcing mesh can be increased, and it is possible to make it difficult to generate winding distortion. Therefore, even when a uniaxially reinforced mesh having a large opening and a high tensile strength in one row is used, the workability can be improved. Further, by applying a secondary binder, damage to the fiber itself during concrete placement can be prevented, so that a desired tensile strength can be obtained.

[0022] (First Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view showing a mesh fabric used in the method for manufacturing a reinforcing mesh according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view showing an enlarged part of the mesh fabric of FIG. 1.

[0023] <Mesh Fabric Forming Step> In the step of forming the mesh fabric 1, first, the warp threads 4 and the weft threads 5 are prepared. In the present embodiment, the fiber bundles constituting the warp threads 4 and the weft threads 5 are both glass fiber bundles. The glass fiber bundle can be obtained by bundling several tens to several thousands of glass fiber monofilaments.

[0024] More specifically, the glass fiber bundle can be obtained by the following method. First, the glass raw material introduced into the glass melting furnace is melted to form molten glass, and after making the molten glass in a homogeneous state, the molten glass is drawn out from a nozzle having heat resistance attached to the bushing. Thereafter, the drawn molten glass is cooled to form glass fiber monofilaments (glass fibers).

[0025] Next, a sizing agent is applied to the surface of this glass fiber. With the sizing agent evenly applied, several tens to several thousands of the glass fibers are aligned and bundled, and then dried to obtain a glass fiber bundle.

[0026] Each of the glass fiber monofilaments constituting the glass fiber bundle preferably contains, as a glass composition, 12 mass% or more of ZrO2 and 10 mass% or more of R2O (R is at least one selected from Li, Na, and K). In this case, the alkali resistance can be further enhanced, and the rigidity can be further enhanced. Note that the fact that R2O is 10 mass% or more means that the total content of Li2O, Na2O, and K2O in the glass fiber monofilament is 10 mass% or more.

[0027] Examples of such glass fiber monofilaments include those containing, as a glass composition, in mass%, 54 - 65% of SiO2, 12 - 25% of ZrO2, 0 - 5% of Li2O, 10 - 17% of Na2O, 0 - 8% of K2O, 0 - 10% of R’O (where R’ represents Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn), 0 - 10% of TiO2, and 0 - 2% of Al2O3. Preferably, those containing, in mass%, 57 - 64% of SiO2, 14 - 24% of ZrO2, 0 - 3% of Li2O, 10 - 17% of Na2O, 0 - 5% of K2O, 0.2 - 8% of R’O (where R’ represents Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn), 0.5 - 9% of TiO2, and 0 - 1% of Al2O3 can be used.

[0028] The average diameter of the glass fiber monofilament is preferably 10 μm or more, more preferably 15 μm or more, preferably 30 μm or less, and more preferably 25 μm or less. When the average diameter of the glass fiber monofilament is at least the above-mentioned lower limit value, the rigidity can be further enhanced. When the average diameter of the glass fiber monofilament is at most the above-mentioned upper limit value, the surface area can be further increased, and the adhesiveness with cement or the like can be further enhanced.

[0029] Examples of the sizing agent for bundling glass fiber monofilaments include, for example, polyester resins. The polyester resin may be a saturated polyester resin or an unsaturated polyester resin. Also, it may be a vinyl acetate-based resin, a urethane-based resin, an epoxy resin, or an acrylic resin. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0030] In addition, the sizing agent preferably further contains a silane coupling agent in addition to the above components. Examples of the silane coupling agent that can be used include aminosilane, epoxysilane, vinylsilane, acrylicsilane, chlorosilane, mercaptosilane, ureidosilane, and the like. By adding the silane coupling agent, the adhesiveness with cement or the like as a matrix can be further enhanced.

[0031] In addition to the above-mentioned silane coupling agent, the sizing agent may contain components such as a lubricant, a nonionic surfactant, a water-soluble polymer, and an antistatic agent, and the blending ratio of each component may be determined as needed. Examples of the water-soluble polymer that can be used include polyvinyl alcohol, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glycol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and the like.

[0032] The coating amount of the sizing agent is preferably adjusted so that the loss on ignition of the glass fiber bundle is 0.5% by mass to 2.0% by mass. The loss on ignition can be measured according to JIS R3420 (2013).

[0033] However, the fiber bundles constituting the warp 4 and the weft 5 are not limited to glass fiber bundles, and may be synthetic fiber bundles. Further, the warp 4 and the weft 5 may be constituted by the same fiber bundle as in the present embodiment, or may be constituted by different fiber bundles. Further, they may be constituted by combining a plurality of fibers. For example, the warp 4 may be a glass fiber bundle and the weft 5 may be a synthetic fiber bundle. The warp 4 may be a synthetic fiber bundle and the weft 5 may be a glass fiber bundle. However, from the viewpoint of further enhancing the rigidity, it is preferable that at least one of the warp 4 and the weft 5 contains a glass fiber bundle.

[0034] Examples of the fibers constituting the synthetic fiber bundle include carbon fiber, aramid fiber, vinylon fiber, polyester fiber, polyolefin fiber, and the like. These fibers may be used alone or in combination of a plurality of types. Among them, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, vinylon fiber, and polyolefin fiber are preferable. From the viewpoint of further enhancing the heat resistance, the polyolefin fiber is preferably a polypropylene fiber.

[0035] The count of the fiber bundles constituting the warp 4 and the weft 5 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 100 tex or more and 3000 tex or less. When the count of the fiber bundle is within the above-described range, the rigidity of the obtained reinforcing mesh can be further enhanced.

[0036] Next, the obtained fiber bundles are used as the warp 4 and the weft 5 and woven by plain weaving. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the warp 4 composed of two warps 4a and 4b is used as one row of warp rows 2, and one weft 5 is used as one row of weft rows 3 for weaving. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the first heat-sealing yarn 6 is aligned so as to extend in parallel along the warps 4a and 4b and intertwined, and the second heat-sealing yarn 7 is intertwined so as to wind around the two warps 4a and 4b constituting the warp 4 in the extending direction of the warp 4 for weaving. In this way, the mesh fabric 1 can be obtained. In FIG. 1, the description of the first heat-sealing yarn 6 and the second heat-sealing yarn 7 is omitted.

[0037] In addition, the second heat-sealing yarn 7 is preferably entangled so as to go from one main surface of the mesh fabric 1 toward the other main surface at the crossing portion 8 of the warp yarns 4 and the weft yarns 5, and also entangled so as to return from the other main surface of the mesh fabric 1 to one main surface. By doing so, the second heat-sealing yarn 7 can be regularly wound around the warp yarns 4a and 4b, the contact area between the weft yarn 5 and the second heat-sealing yarn 7 can be increased, and the caulking strength of the warp and weft yarns can be further enhanced.

[0038] The first heat-sealing yarn 6 and the second heat-sealing yarn 7 are yarns that are heat-sealed by heating. Note that either one of the first heat-sealing yarn 6 and the second heat-sealing yarn 7 may be provided, but it is preferable that both are provided. In this case, the amount of the secondary binder in the subsequent process can be further reduced.

[0039] The melting points of the first heat-sealing yarn 6 and the second heat-sealing yarn 7 are preferably 70°C or higher and 160°C or lower, respectively. When the melting points of the first heat-sealing yarn 6 and the second heat-sealing yarn 7 are equal to or higher than the above-described lower limit value, caulking can be performed at a relatively low temperature. Further, when the melting points of the first heat-sealing yarn 6 and the second heat-sealing yarn 7 are equal to or lower than the above-described upper limit value, the flexibility of the mesh fabric 1 can be more reliably ensured.

[0040] The first heat-sealing yarn 6 and the second heat-sealing yarn 7 each contain thermoplastic resin fibers. The first heat-sealing yarn 6 and the second heat-sealing yarn 7 may be composed of the same thermoplastic resin fibers or may be composed of other thermoplastic resin fibers.

[0041] The thermoplastic resin fibers can be composed of, for example, polyester, polyamide, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl alcohol, polyolefin, etc. Among them, since it has a lower melting point, it is preferably composed of polyester, polyamide, or polyolefin. These resins may be used alone or in combination of multiple types.

[0042] The yarn numbers of the first heat-sealing yarn 6 and the second heat-sealing yarn 7 are not particularly limited, but are preferably 10 dtex or more, more preferably 50 dtex or more, and preferably 600 dtex or less, more preferably 350 dtex or less, respectively. When the yarn numbers of the first heat-sealing yarn 6 and the second heat-sealing yarn 7 are within the above-described ranges, the amount of the secondary binder in the subsequent process can be further reduced.

[0043] The second heat-sealing yarn 7 preferably further contains inorganic fibers. The inorganic fibers are not particularly limited, but are preferably fibers that do not melt at the heating temperature of the second heat-sealing yarn 7. Such inorganic fibers are not particularly limited, and examples thereof include glass fibers, carbon fibers, and mineral fibers, and glass fibers are preferable. In this case, the stop-off strength of the warp yarns 4 and the weft yarns 5 can be further increased. Further, the elongation of the inorganic fibers is smaller (0.1% or more and 5% or less) than that of the thermoplastic resin fibers, and they are likely to be entangled with the warp yarns 4 and the weft yarns 5.

[0044] When the second heat-sealing yarn 7 also contains inorganic fibers, the inorganic fibers and the thermoplastic resin fibers may be a ply yarn, or may simply be arranged side by side.

[0045] Further, in the second heat-sealing yarn 7, the ratio of the content of the thermoplastic resin fibers to the inorganic fibers is preferably 3:7 to 7:3 by mass ratio. In this case, the stop-off strength of the warp yarns 4 and the weft yarns 5 can be further improved.

[0046] The area of the opening 9 in the mesh fabric 1 may be woven, for example, to be 250 mm 2 or more and 2500 mm 2 or less. The maximum interval between the rows of the warp yarn series 2 may be woven, for example, to be 20 mm or more and 60 mm or less. The maximum interval between the rows of the weft yarn series 3 may be woven, for example, to be 20 mm or more and 60 mm or less. Further, the thickness of the mesh fabric 1 is not particularly limited, but may be woven, for example, to be 0.2 mm or more and 1 mm or less.

[0047] <Pressing Process> Next, by subjecting the mesh fabric 1 to heat and pressure treatment, the warp yarns 4 and the weft yarns 5 are thermocompression bonded.

[0048] The heat and pressure treatment can be performed by, for example, a heat press such as a hot roll press or a hot die press. The heat press is preferably performed at a temperature at which the fiber bundles (warp yarns 4 and weft yarns 5) constituting the mesh fabric 1 do not soften. Note that the "temperature at which they do not soften" means a temperature lower than the softening point in the case of a material having a softening point, and a temperature equal to or lower than a temperature corresponding to the softening point in the case of a material having no softening point.

[0049] The temperature of the heat press depends on the type of material constituting the fiber bundle, but is preferably 80°C or higher, more preferably 100°C or higher, and can be preferably 250°C or lower, more preferably 160°C or lower. Also, the pressure of the heat press is preferably 5 N / cm 2 or more, more preferably 7 N / cm 2 or more, and can be preferably 40 N / cm 2 or less, more preferably 15 N / cm 2 or less.

[0050] <Secondary Binder Coating Process> Next, a secondary binder is applied to the mesh fabric 1 after pressing to obtain a reinforcing mesh. As the secondary binder, for example, an acrylic resin, a urethane resin, an epoxy resin, a vinyl acetate resin, a urea resin, a PVC resin, etc. can be used. The secondary binder may be used alone or in combination of a plurality of types.

[0051] The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the secondary binder is not particularly limited, but is preferably -12°C or higher, more preferably -10°C or higher, and is preferably 35°C or lower, more preferably 15°C or lower. In this case, when formed into a wound body, it is possible to make it more difficult for winding marks to occur. Note that it is preferable to use a plurality of types of compounds having different glass transition temperatures as the secondary binder.

[0052] The secondary binder is preferably applied so that the loss on ignition of the resulting reinforcing mesh is 0.5% by mass to 10.0% by mass. In this case, the flexibility of the resulting reinforcing mesh can be further enhanced, and it is possible to further reduce the occurrence of curling. Also, by applying a small amount of the secondary binder, it is possible to prevent damage to the fibers themselves during concrete placement, and it is possible to more reliably obtain the desired tensile strength.

[0053] The loss on ignition of the secondary binder is preferably 1.0% by mass or more, more preferably 3.0% by mass or more, and preferably 8.0% by mass or less, more preferably 6.0% by mass or less. Note that the loss on ignition can be measured in accordance with JIS R3420 (2013).

[0054] In the present embodiment, after weaving the first heat-fused yarn 6 and the second heat-fused yarn 7 around the warp yarn 4, heat treatment and pressure treatment are performed, so that the locking strength of the warp yarn 4 and the weft yarn 5 can be increased, and the mechanical strength can be increased. Also, since the locking strength of the warp yarn 4 and the weft yarn 5 can be increased, the amount of the secondary binder in the subsequent process can be reduced. Thereby, the flexibility of the resulting reinforcing mesh can be increased, and it is also possible to make curling less likely to occur. Therefore, even when a uniaxially reinforced mesh having a large opening 9 and a high tensile strength in one row is used, the workability can be improved. Also, by applying the secondary binder, it is possible to prevent damage to the fibers themselves during concrete placement, and it is possible to obtain the desired tensile strength.

[0055] In the present embodiment, the first heat-fused yarn 6 and the second heat-fused yarn 7 are woven around the warp yarn 4, but the first heat-fused yarn 6 and the second heat-fused yarn 7 may be woven around the weft yarn 5.

[0056] More specifically, the first heat-sealing yarn 6 may be wound along at least one of the warp yarns 4 and the weft yarns 5, and the second heat-sealing yarn 7 may be wound around at least one of the warp yarns 4, the weft yarns 5, and the first heat-sealing yarn 6.

[0057] In the present invention, one of the first heat-sealing yarn 6 and the second heat-sealing yarn 7 may not be provided, and at least one heat-sealing yarn may be provided. Even in that case, the effects of the present invention can be enjoyed.

[0058] (Second Embodiment) FIG. 3 is an enlarged schematic plan view showing a part of a mesh fabric used in the method for manufacturing a reinforcing mesh according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] In the manufacturing method of the second embodiment, in the mesh fabric forming step, as shown in FIG. 3, six warp yarns 4a, 4b are used as one row of warp yarn rows 2, and one weft yarn 5 is used as one row of weft yarn rows 3 to weave a mesh fabric 21. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, after the first heat-sealing yarn 6 is wound along the warp yarns 4a, 4b so as to extend in parallel, while weaving the warp yarns 4a, 4b and the weft yarn 5 by plain weaving, the second heat-sealing yarn 7 is wound around the warp yarns 4a, 4b so as to be wound around them for weaving. Therefore, in the present embodiment, three sets of warp yarns 4a, 4b around which the second heat-sealing yarn 7 is wound are provided to form the warp yarn row 2. Other points are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0060] Also in the second embodiment, after weaving so as to wind the first heat-sealing yarn 6 and the second heat-sealing yarn 7 around the warp yarn 4, heat and pressure treatment are performed. Therefore, the obtained reinforcing mesh is less likely to have winding irregularities when formed into a wound body, has excellent workability, and moreover has excellent mechanical strength.

[0061] Therefore, as in the second embodiment, the warp threads 4a and 4b around which the second heat-fusing thread 7 is wound may be provided in a plurality of sets to form the warp thread row 2. In this way, by performing the weaving of the warp threads 4a and 4b and the weft thread 5 and the winding of the second heat-fusing thread 7 almost simultaneously, the time for the mesh fabric forming process can be shortened.

[0062] (Third Embodiment) FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view showing an enlarged part of a mesh fabric used in the method for manufacturing a reinforcing mesh according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

[0063] In the manufacturing method of the third embodiment, in the mesh fabric forming process, as shown in FIG. 4, one warp thread 4 is used as one row of warp thread rows 2, and one weft thread 5 is used as one row of weft thread rows 3 to weave the mesh fabric 31. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the first heat-fusing thread 6 is wound along the warp thread 4 so as to extend in parallel, and the second heat-fusing thread 7 is wound around the warp thread 4 so as to be wound around it and then woven. Other points are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0064] Also in the third embodiment, after weaving so as to wind the first heat-fusing thread 6 and the second heat-fusing thread 7 around the warp thread 4, heating and pressing treatments are performed. Therefore, the obtained reinforcing mesh is less likely to have winding irregularities when formed into a wound body, has excellent workability, and also has excellent mechanical strength.

[0065] Therefore, as in the third embodiment, the warp thread row 2 may be formed by winding the first heat-fusing thread 6 and the second heat-fusing thread 7 around one warp thread 4.

[0066] (Fourth Embodiment) FIG. 5 is a schematic plan view showing a mesh fabric used in the method for manufacturing a reinforcing mesh according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a schematic plan view showing an enlarged part of the mesh fabric used in the method for manufacturing a reinforcing mesh according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

[0067] In the fourth embodiment, in the mesh fabric forming step, using the glass fiber bundle prepared in the same manner as in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the mesh fabric 41 is obtained by weaving in a twisted manner. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the warp 44 is formed by intertwining the first strand 44a and the second strand 44b, and the weft 45 is woven into the warp 44 for weaving. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the first heat-sealing yarn 46 is aligned and intertwined along the first strand 44a, and the second heat-sealing yarn 47 is aligned and intertwined along the second strand 44b for weaving. Other points are the same as those in the first embodiment. In FIG. 5, the description of the first heat-sealing yarn 46 and the second heat-sealing yarn 47 is omitted.

[0068] Also in the fourth embodiment, after weaving so as to intertwine the first heat-sealing yarn 46 and the second heat-sealing yarn 47 with the warp 44, heating and pressurizing treatments are performed. Therefore, the obtained reinforcing mesh is less likely to have winding irregularities when formed into a wound body, is excellent in workability, and also has excellent mechanical strength.

[0069] Therefore, as in the fourth embodiment, the mesh fabric 41 may be obtained by weaving in a twisted manner. However, since the surface area for adhesion by the heat-sealing yarn can be further increased, it is preferable to obtain the mesh fabric by plain weaving as in the first to third embodiments.

[0070] [Reinforcing Mesh Wound Body] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing a reinforcing mesh wound body according to an embodiment of the present invention. Further, FIG. 8 is a schematic plan view showing a reinforcing mesh constituting the reinforcing mesh wound body according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0071] The reinforcing mesh winding body 10 shown in Fig. 7 is formed by winding the reinforcing mesh 11 shown in Fig. 8. The reinforcing mesh 11 can be manufactured, for example, by the method for manufacturing the reinforcing mesh of the present invention described above. Therefore, the reinforcing mesh 11 contains a secondary binder. The reinforcing mesh 11 can be configured by appropriately using those described in the section on the method for manufacturing the reinforcing mesh. In Fig. 8, the description of the first heat-fusing yarn 6 and the second heat-fusing yarn 7 is omitted.

[0072] When the reinforcing mesh winding body 10 is cut out by 500 mm in the winding direction of the reinforcing mesh 11 and placed on a flat surface, the shortest distance connecting both ends in the winding direction of the reinforcing mesh 11 is 400 mm or more.

[0073] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 9, when the reinforcing mesh 11 is placed on the flat surface 50, it is preferable that the distance L connecting both ends of the main surface 11a on the flat surface 50 side of the reinforcing mesh 11 in the winding direction X is 400 mm or more. In this case, when formed into a winding body, it is possible to make it even more difficult for winding irregularities to occur, and the workability can be further improved.

[0074] From the viewpoint of making it even more difficult for winding irregularities to occur when formed into a winding body and further improving the workability, the distance L is more preferably 420 mm or more, and even more preferably 470 mm or more. The distance L may be at most 500 mm.

[0075] The loss on ignition of the reinforcing mesh 11 is preferably 0.5% by mass or more, more preferably 3.0% by mass or more, preferably 10.0% by mass or less, more preferably 8.0% by mass or less, and even more preferably 6.0% by mass or less. When the loss on ignition of the reinforcing mesh 11 is within the above-described range, it is possible to make it even more difficult for winding irregularities to occur when formed into a winding body, and the workability can be further enhanced. Also, the mechanical strength can be further increased.

[0076] In addition, the maximum interval W between the rows formed by the warp row 2 or the weft row 3 is preferably 20 mm or more, more preferably 25 mm or more, preferably 60 mm or less, and more preferably 55 mm or less. In this case, the workability of the reinforcing mesh 11 can be further improved.

[0077] The tensile strength of one row formed by the warp row 2 or the weft row 3 is preferably 800 N / row or more, more preferably 1000 N / row or more, and preferably 1500 N / row or less. In this case, the mechanical strength of the reinforcing mesh 11 can be further improved. The tensile strength can be measured in accordance with JIS L1015 (2010).

[0078] According to the reinforcing mesh winding body 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a reinforcing mesh 11 that is less likely to have winding marks, has excellent workability, and also has excellent mechanical strength.

[0079] In addition, the reinforcing mesh winding body 10 and the reinforcing mesh 11 are preferably embedded and used in concrete or mortar, and can be suitably used as a cement reinforcing mesh.
