[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2017-197766 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2021-135173 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In a corona discharge treatment device that performs surface treatment using corona discharge, corona discharge is repeatedly generated between an electrode and a roll that are arranged opposite each other with an object to be surface-treated, such as a film, interposed therebetween. However, according to the inventors' investigations, it has been found that repeated generation of corona discharge can cause electrolytic corrosion in a bearing that supports a shaft formed integrally with the roll.

[0012] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to examples and drawings. In all drawings for explaining the embodiments, the same reference numerals are used to designate components having the same functions, and repeated description thereof will be omitted.

[0013] (Embodiment 1) <Film manufacturing system> Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a film production system according to embodiment 1. Fig. 2 is a flowchart showing a film production method according to embodiment 1.

[0014] The film production system 1 of this embodiment shown in Figure 1 includes an extrusion device 2, a T-die 3, a cooling device 4, a stretching device 5, a surface treatment device 6, a static eliminator 7, and a winding device 8. The surface treatment device 6 is an example of a corona discharge treatment device in this application. The cooling device 4 is also called a raw semi-cooling device, a cast roll, etc.

[0015] In the example shown in FIG. 1, first, resin material (pellets), additives, etc. are supplied to a raw material supply section 2A of an extrusion device 2. The extrusion device 2 conveys the supplied resin material, etc. while mixing them. A T-die 3 extrudes the kneaded material (molten resin) kneaded by the extrusion device 2 through a slit (S1). The kneaded material extruded from the T-die 3 is cooled in a cooling device 4 and becomes a film 9 (S2).

[0016] The raw film formed by the T-die 3 is continuously supplied to the stretching device 5 via a cooling device 4. In the stretching device 5, the film 9 is stretched, for example, in the direction in which the film 9 is discharged (hereinafter referred to as the machine direction), and then stretched in the cross direction intersecting the machine direction (S3). The stretched film 9 is subjected to a surface treatment using corona discharge by a surface treatment device 6 (S4). This embodiment is characterized in that a power storage device is used in this surface treatment. This characteristic will be described later. The surface-treated film 9 is subjected to a static elimination treatment by a static eliminator 7 to remove electric charges stored on the film 9 (S5). The static eliminator-treated film 9 is taken up by a winding device 8 (S6).

[0017] In the case of the film production system 1 shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the film 9 is produced as described above. The film production system 1 shown in FIG. 1 can be modified in various ways depending on the properties of the film 9 to be formed. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the film 9 is stretched in the longitudinal direction and then stretched in the transverse direction. However, the method of stretching the film 9 is not particularly limited, and for example, it may be configured to stretch the film 9 in the longitudinal and transverse directions simultaneously.

[0018] The film 9 can also be called a film sheet, meaning a film stretched into a sheet. In this embodiment, the object to be treated with the corona discharge treatment is a film, but this film includes films made from various materials, including plastics such as polyethylene. Here, plastic refers to thermoplastic resins, thermosetting resins, photocurable resins, etc. The object to be treated is not limited to a film, and other sheet-like objects such as paper, fabrics including nonwoven fabrics, and metal foils can also be considered.

[0019] The cooling device 4 and the cooling process (S2) may be omitted depending on the type or material of the film, and the static eliminator 7 and the static elimination process (S5) may also be omitted depending on the type or material of the film.

[0020] <Surface treatment equipment> Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the main parts of the surface treatment device according to embodiment 1. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing a cross section of the main parts of the surface treatment device and a power storage device connected to the main parts. The cross section of the main parts of the surface treatment device shown in Fig. 4 is a cross section showing the main parts as viewed along the film traveling direction.

[0021] The surface treatment device 6 generates a corona discharge on the surface of the film 9, thereby modifying the surface condition of the film 9. When a corona discharge is generated on the surface of the film 9, the surface roughness of the film 9 increases, and polar groups such as carboxyl groups and hydroxyl groups are introduced, resulting in surface modification. As a result, the "wettability" of the film 9 can be improved. Improving the wettability of the surface of the film 9 can improve the printing properties or adhesive properties of the film 9.

[0022] The surface treatment device 6 has a roll 61 that transports the film 9, and an electrode 62 that is disposed in a position facing the roll 61 with the film 9 interposed therebetween. As shown in FIG. 4, the roll 61 rotates around an axis 61R (first axis). The roll 61 is formed integrally with a shaft 65 that rotates around the axis 61R. The shaft 65 is supported by a bearing 66.

[0023] FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically illustrating the structure of a bearing. As shown in FIG. 5, bearing 66 has balls 67, which are rolling elements made of a conductive material, insulating grease 68, an inner ring 691, and an outer ring 692. Inner ring 691 and outer ring 692 are raceways. Inner ring 691 is fixed to shaft 65, and outer ring 692 is fixed to casing 50 shown in FIG. 4 via a housing (not shown). When shaft 65 rotates, inner ring 691 rotates following the rotation of shaft 65. However, balls 67, which are rolling elements, are not fixed to inner ring 691 or outer ring 692 and therefore can freely rotate within a raceway defined by inner ring 691 and outer ring 692.

[0024] Furthermore, insulating grease 68 is interposed between inner ring 691 and ball 67, and ball 67 is insulated from inner ring 691. In other words, it can be said that insulating grease 68 is interposed between ball 67 and shaft 65, and ball 67 is electrically insulated from shaft 65. Note that cylindrical members (rollers) (not shown) may be used as rolling elements instead of ball 67.

[0025] In the example shown in FIG. 3, in order to perform surface treatment on both the upper and lower surfaces of the film 9, a roll 61A for the upper surface and a roll 61B for the lower surface are provided.

[0026] In the example shown in FIG. 3, multiple electrodes 62 are disposed at positions facing the upper surface roll 61A and the lower surface roll 61B. Each of the multiple electrodes 62 is electrically connected to a high-frequency power supply 63. When a high-frequency voltage is applied from the high-frequency power supply 63 to each of the multiple electrodes 62, a corona discharge occurs between each of the multiple electrodes 62 and the roll 61. In the surface treatment device 6, high power is supplied from the high-frequency power supply 63 to generate a corona discharge with the film 9 interposed therebetween. For example, a high-frequency voltage with a rated output of approximately 20 kW to 70 kW and a frequency of approximately 10 kHz to 100 kHz is applied. Note that the voltages described above are merely examples, and various modifications are possible.

[0027] Furthermore, the surface treatment device 6 needs to continuously perform surface treatment on the film 9. In the case of the surface treatment device 6, a high-frequency power supply 63 is used as a power source for generating corona discharge, and continuous surface treatment is achieved by repeatedly generating corona discharge.

[0028] When corona discharge is repeatedly generated, unless the charge generated in the roll 61 by the discharge is discharged to the outside, the charge accumulates in the roll 61, causing the potential difference between the electrode 62 and the roll 61 to become unstable. For this reason, the roll 61 is generally connected to a member at ground potential and is provided with a charge eliminator 64 that eliminates the charge generated in the roll 61. An example of the charge eliminator 64 is a method in which a charge eliminator made of a conductive material, such as a carbon brush, is pressed against a shaft 65 formed integrally with the roll 61. This method stabilizes the potential difference between the electrode 62 and the roll 61, allowing corona discharge to be repeatedly generated stably.

[0029] However, according to the study of the present inventors, it has been found that electrolytic corrosion may occur in the bearing 66 that supports the shaft 65 in the surface treatment device 6. It has been found that electrolytic corrosion of the bearing 66 may occur even when the surface treatment device 6 is operated with the charge remover 64 attached.

[0030] Further investigation by the inventors has revealed that the progression of electrolytic corrosion of the bearing 66 can be slowed down by at least temporarily storing the charge generated in the roll 61, i.e., the AC power generated in the roll 61, rather than by attempting to remove the charge generated in the roll 61 by dissipating it to the outside.

[0031] Therefore, in this embodiment, a power storage device 70 capable of storing the electric charge generated in the roll 61 at least temporarily is provided.

[0032] <Electricity storage device> 4, the power storage device 70 includes a slip ring 71, a conductive member 72, a power conditioner 73, a backflow prevention unit 74, a changeover switch 75, a resistor 76, a power storage device 77, a switch 78, a first load 79, a second load 80, and a control circuit 81. The control circuit 81 is an example of the control device of the present application.

[0033] The slip ring 71 is attached to the shaft 65 so as to be electrically conductive with the shaft 65 .

[0034] The conductive member 72 is supported so as to contact the slip conductive surface of the slip ring 71. The conductive member 72 is, for example, a carbon brush or an air gap. The slip conductive surface of the slip ring 71 is generally made of a material such as carbon, but it is more preferable to use carbon impregnated with a highly conductive material such as silver or copper.

[0035] The power conditioner 73 converts the input AC current into DC current and outputs it by increasing or decreasing the voltage as necessary. The power conditioner 73 has two input terminals, one of which is connected to the conductive member 72, and the other of which is grounded or connected to a member at ground potential. With this connection configuration, AC current based on charges randomly generated on the roll 61 passes through the shaft 65, slip ring 71, and conductive member 72, and is input to the power conditioner 73, where it is converted into DC current. Note that the power based on this AC current can have, for example, a voltage (effective value) of approximately 0.5 V to 5 V and an average frequency of approximately 10 kHz to 100 kHz.

[0036] When converting AC current to DC current, the power conditioner 73 operates to temporarily store the input charge, i.e., the charge generated in the roll 61. This operation of temporarily storing the charge generated in the roll 61 allows the charge generated in the roll 61 to be quickly absorbed, thereby reducing the amplitude of the AC current or AC voltage generated in the roll 61. As a result, it is believed that the momentum of the charge passing through the bearing 66 is reduced, slowing the progression of electrolytic corrosion of the bearing 66. Note that "temporarily storing charge" here means that charge is temporarily taken in and absorbed by a smoothing capacitor or the like in the process of converting AC current to DC current. Therefore, "temporarily storing charge" does not limit the time for which the charge is stored.

[0037] The power conditioner 73 includes, for example, an AC / DC converter and a step-up / step-down circuit. The AC / DC converter is configured to have, for example, a rectifier circuit such as a diode bridge and a smoothing capacitor. The power conditioner 73 may be a discrete circuit assembled using semiconductor elements, passive elements, etc., or may be a circuit assembled using a dedicated IC.

[0038] The backflow prevention unit 74 has an input terminal connected to an output terminal of the power conditioner 73. The backflow prevention unit 74 serves to prevent current from flowing back into the power conditioner 73 and damaging the power conditioner 73. The backflow prevention unit 74 is, for example, a diode.

[0039] The changeover switch 75 has one input terminal T0, a changeover terminal S connected to the input terminal T0, and two output terminals, a first output terminal T1 and a second output terminal T2, which are selectively connected to the changeover terminal S. That is, the changeover switch 75 is configured to be able to take either a state in which the changeover terminal S is connected to the first output terminal T1, or a state in which the changeover terminal S is connected to the second output terminal T2. The input terminal T0 of the changeover switch 75 is connected to the output terminal of the backflow prevention unit 74. The changeover switch 75 is, for example, a relay switch or a semiconductor switch such as a MOSFET.

[0040] A circuit in which a resistor 76, a capacitor 77, a switch 78, and a first load 79 are connected in series is connected to a first output terminal T1 of the changeover switch 75. A second load 80 is connected to a second output terminal T2 of the changeover switch 75. The output terminals of the first load 79 and the second load 80 are each grounded or connected to a member at ground potential.

[0041] The resistor 76 is an element that converts input power into heat and consumes it. The resistor 76 serves to prevent an inrush current from flowing to the capacitor 77.

[0042] The power storage device 77 stores power based on the DC current output from the power conditioner 73. The power storage device 77 is configured to include, for example, a capacitor or a secondary battery such as a nickel-metal hydride battery or a lithium-ion battery. The power storage device 77 may also include a control circuit that controls charging or power supply. The power storage device 77 is configured to be detachable, and a charged power storage device 77 can be removed and used as a power source for an external device. Note that the power storage device 77 is available in two types: one that can supply power while being charged, and one that cannot supply power while being charged. This embodiment can accommodate both types of power storage devices, but in this example, the power storage device 77 is assumed to be a type that cannot supply power while being charged.

[0043] The switch 78 is a switch for switching whether or not the capacitor 77 and the first load 79 are connected. When the switch 78 is closed, the capacitor 77 is connected to the first load 79, and the power stored in the capacitor 77 is supplied to the first load 79. On the other hand, when the switch 78 is opened, the connection between the capacitor 77 and the first load 79 is cut off. The switch 78 is formed of, for example, a transistor, a MOSFET, a relay switch, or the like.

[0044] The first load 79 is, for example, an electronic circuit that operates by receiving power. This electronic circuit may be a circuit that constitutes the surface treatment device 6 or a circuit that constitutes the film production system 1, or may be a circuit that constitutes another device or system, or may be an independently operating circuit.

[0045] If the capacitor 77 is of a type that cannot supply power while being charged, the first load 79 is normally supplied with power from a main power supply (not shown), and uses the capacitor 77 as a secondary power supply only when power is stored in the capacitor 77. On the other hand, if the capacitor 77 is of a type that can supply power even while being charged, the first load 79 uses the capacitor 77 as a power supply.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first load 79 is assumed to be an electronic circuit, but it may also be, for example, something that converts electric power into heat, light, or motive power. In this case, the first load 79 is, for example, a resistor, a light-emitting element, a motor, or the like.

[0047] The second load 80 is, for example, a load that converts electric power into heat, light, or power, etc. In this case, the second load 80 is, for example, a resistor, a light-emitting element, a motor, etc.

[0048] In the initial state, the input terminal and the first output terminal of the changeover switch 75 are connected, and the switch 78 is open. That is, the power based on the charge generated in the roll 61 is temporarily stored in the power conditioner 73 and charged into the capacitor 77 via the backflow prevention unit 74, the changeover switch 75, and the resistor 76.

[0049] The control circuit 81 has a function of detecting the state of the capacitor 77. The control circuit 81 controls the switching of the changeover switch 75 and the opening and closing of the switch 78 based on the detection result of the state of the capacitor 77.

[0050] The control circuit 81 continuously or periodically detects the charging current and charging voltage (amount of stored electricity) of the capacitor 77. When the control circuit 81 detects that the detected charging voltage of the capacitor 77 has risen to a set upper voltage V1 (first level), it controls the changeover switch 75 to change over the connection destination of the switching terminal S to the second output terminal T2, i.e., the second load 80 side, and also controls the switch 78 to close. The upper voltage V1 is, for example, a voltage corresponding to a fully charged capacitor 77, or, if the first load 79 is a circuit, an upper limit voltage that can be supplied by that circuit.

[0051] This control electrically connects the capacitor 77 and the first load 79, and the capacitor 77 supplies power to the first load 79. While the capacitor 77 is supplying power to the first load 79, power based on the charge generated in the roll 61 is supplied to the second load 80 via the power conditioner 73, the backflow prevention unit 74, and the changeover switch 75.

[0052] When the control circuit 81 detects that the detected charging voltage (amount of stored electricity) of the capacitor 77 has dropped to a set lower voltage V2 (second level), it controls the changeover switch 75 to change the connection destination of the switching terminal S to the first output terminal T1, i.e., to the capacitor 77 side, and also controls the switch 78 to open. The lower voltage V2 is, for example, a voltage corresponding to the lower limit of discharge of the capacitor 77, or the lower limit voltage that can be supplied by the first load 79 if the first load 79 is a circuit. By this control, the capacitor 77 and the first load 79 are electrically disconnected, and the capacitor 77 is charged.

[0053] The control circuit 81 has a function of detecting an abnormality in the capacitor 77. The control circuit 81 detects an abnormality when the detected charging current or charging voltage of the capacitor 77 exceeds a set upper limit level. That is, the control circuit 81 detects an overvoltage or overcurrent of the capacitor 77 as an abnormality. When the control circuit 81 detects an abnormality in the capacitor 77, it switches the destination of the switching terminal S of the changeover switch 75 to the second output side terminal T2, i.e., the second load 80 side, thereby stopping charging of the capacitor 77 and preventing damage to the capacitor 77. Furthermore, when the control circuit 81 detects an abnormality in the capacitor 77, it opens the switch 78 to disconnect the capacitor 77 from the first load 79 and prevent damage to the first load 79.

[0054] The control circuit 81 is configured by, for example, a circuit using a dedicated IC, a PLC, a microcomputer, or the like.

[0055] <Operation of Surface Treatment Device> The operation of the surface treatment device 6 will now be described.

[0056] Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the surface treatment device according to embodiment 1. As shown in Fig. 6, first, corona discharge is initiated (S11). Specifically, while the drive source rotates and drives the roll 61 to transport the film 9, the high-frequency power supply 63 repeatedly generates corona discharge between the roll 61 and the electrode 62.

[0057] Next, the power conditioner 73 temporarily stores the AC current based on the charge generated in the roll 61 and converts it to DC current (S12). At this point, the changeover switch 75 and the switch 78 are in their initial states. That is, the changeover terminal S of the changeover switch 75 is connected to the first output terminal T1, and the switch 78 is open. Therefore, the DC current output from the power conditioner 73 is stored in the capacitor 77.

[0058] Next, the control circuit 81 detects the state of the capacitor 77 and determines whether or not there is an abnormality based on the detection result (S13). If the control circuit 81 determines that there is an abnormality (S13: Yes), it switches the connection destination of the switching terminal S of the changeover switch 75 to the second output side terminal T2, i.e., the second load 80 side, and stops charging of the capacitor 77 (S14). Furthermore, the control circuit 81 opens the switch 78 to disconnect the capacitor 77 from the first load 79, protecting the first load 79 (S15), and ends the processing.

[0059] On the other hand, if the control circuit 81 determines that there is no abnormality (S13: No), it determines whether or not the charging voltage V of the capacitor 77 has reached the voltage V1 corresponding to full charge (S16). If the control circuit 81 determines that the charging voltage V has reached the voltage V1 (S16: Yes), it switches the connection destination of the switching terminal S of the changeover switch 75 to the second output side terminal T2, i.e., the second load 80 side, and stops charging of the capacitor 77 (S17). Furthermore, the control circuit 81 closes the switch 78 to connect the capacitor 77 to the first load 79, and the capacitor 77 starts supplying power to the first load 79 (S18). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S19.

[0060] On the other hand, if the control circuit 81 determines that the charging voltage V of the capacitor 77 has not reached the voltage V1 (S16: No), the process proceeds to step S19, where it determines whether the charging voltage V of the capacitor 77 has dropped to a voltage V2 corresponding to insufficient charging (S19). If the control circuit 81 determines that the charging voltage V has dropped to the voltage V2 (S19: Yes), it opens the switch 78 to disconnect the capacitor 77 from the first load 79 (S20). Furthermore, the control circuit 81 switches the connection destination of the switching terminal S of the changeover switch 75 to the first output side terminal T1, i.e., the capacitor 77 side, and starts charging the capacitor 77 (S21). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S22.

[0061] When the control circuit 81 determines in step S19 that the charging voltage V of the capacitor 77 has not dropped to the voltage V2 (S19: No), the control circuit 81 proceeds to step S22, where it continues charging the capacitor 77 (S22). Thereafter, the control circuit 81 proceeds to step S23.

[0062] In step S23, the control circuit 81 determines whether or not the processing should be terminated based on a user operation or the occurrence of an event that requires termination (S23). If the control circuit 81 determines that the processing should be terminated (S23: Yes), it terminates the processing, and if it determines that the processing should not be terminated (S23: No), it returns to step S13 and continues the processing.

[0063] According to the first embodiment described above, the electric charge generated in the roll 61 is temporarily stored in the power conditioner 73, thereby suppressing electrolytic corrosion of the bearing 66, that is, slowing down the progression of electrolytic corrosion. In addition, the direct current output from the power conditioner 73 is charged to the capacitor 77. The charged capacitor 77 can be used as a power source for the first load 79 or an external device. With this function, the electric charge generated in the roll 61, which is not actually required, can be used as a power source, thereby contributing to energy conservation.

[0064] The present embodiment is an example in which a surface treatment device using corona discharge is applied to a film production system that produces plastic films. However, the present invention can also be applied to film production systems that produce materials other than plastic films. For example, surface treatment using corona discharge may also be performed in the process of producing paper, fabrics including nonwoven fabrics, metal foils, etc. Therefore, the surface treatment device of the present disclosure can be similarly applied to film production systems that produce such paper, fabrics, metal foils, etc.

[0065] <Variation 1> In the above embodiment, the capacitor 77 is of a type that cannot supply power while being charged. In this modified example, the capacitor 77 is of a type that can supply power while being charged. In this case, even if the capacitor 77 is fully charged or insufficiently charged, there is no need to stop charging the capacitor 77.

[0066] Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of a surface treatment device according to a modified example of the first embodiment. The following describes the changes from the above example. As shown in Fig. 7, when it is determined that the charging voltage V of the capacitor 77 has reached a voltage V1 corresponding to a full charge (S16: Yes), the changeover switch 75 is not switched to the second load 80 side (S17). Furthermore, when it is determined that the charging voltage V of the capacitor 77 has dropped to a voltage V2 corresponding to an insufficient charge (S19: Yes), the changeover switch 75 is not switched to the capacitor 77 side (S21).

[0067] According to the first modification, the capacitor 77 is of a type that can supply power while being charged, so that there is no need to stop charging the capacitor 77 even when the capacitor 77 is fully charged or insufficiently charged.

[0068] <Variation 2> In the above embodiment, insulating grease 68 is interposed between the ball 67 inserted in the bearing 66 and the shaft 65. In this modified example, the insulating grease 68 is changed to conductive grease. This configuration intentionally brings the bearing 66 closer to the potential of the roll 61, preventing an electrical shock to the bearing 66 that would be expected to occur if the insulating grease were to break down.

[0069] According to variant example 2, the grease interposed between the ball 67 inserted in the bearing 66 and the shaft 65 is conductive grease, so that the bearing 66 can be made while preventing electrical shock to the bearing 66 that would be caused if the grease were to break down.

[0070] Furthermore, the inventors have found through their studies that when insulating grease 68 is interposed between ball 67 inserted in bearing 66 and shaft 65, the amount of power input to power conditioner 73 may be relatively large. In order to simultaneously achieve suppression of electrolytic corrosion of bearing 66 and energy conservation by supplying power to capacitor 77, first load 79, or second load 80, it may be better to interpose insulating grease 68 between ball 67 and shaft 65.

[0071] (Embodiment 2) A surface treatment device according to a second embodiment will be described.

[0072] Fig. 8 is a diagram schematically illustrating the configuration of a surface treatment device according to embodiment 2. As shown in Fig. 8, the surface treatment device 6a according to embodiment 2 differs from embodiment 1 in the configuration of the power storage device. In the surface treatment device 6a, a second load is not connected to the power storage device 70a, and power from a power conditioner 73 is used to charge a power storage device 77 and to supply power to a first load 79.

[0073] 8, the power storage device 70a has a configuration in which the changeover switch 75, the switch 78, the second load 80, and the control circuit 81 are omitted compared to the first embodiment. That is, a backflow prevention unit 74, a resistor 76, a power storage device 77, and a first load 79 are connected in series to the output terminal of a power conditioner 73. The power storage device 77 is of a type that can supply power while being charged.

[0074] Fig. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the surface treatment apparatus according to the second embodiment. As shown in Fig. 9, first, the high-frequency power supply 63 starts corona discharge (S41). Next, the power conditioner 73 temporarily stores the charge generated on the roll 61 and converts the AC current based on the charge into DC current (S42). The capacitor 77 is charged by the DC current (S43). The capacitor 77 supplies power to the first load 79 (S44).

[0075] According to the surface treatment device 6a of the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the electric charge generated in the roll 61 is temporarily stored in the power conditioner 73, thereby suppressing electrolytic corrosion of the bearing 66. Furthermore, according to the surface treatment device 6a of the second embodiment, the control circuit 81 is not required, so the configuration is simplified and the risk of failure and costs can be reduced. Furthermore, if the first load 79 is an electronic circuit, the electric charge generated in the roll 61 can be used as power to supply to the electronic circuit, contributing to energy conservation.

[0076] (Embodiment 3) A surface treatment device according to a third embodiment will be described.

The surface treatment device 6b is configured so that the power storage device 70b thereof is not connected to a load, and power from a power conditioner is used to charge a capacitor 77.

[0078] 10, the power storage device 70b has a configuration in which the changeover switch 75, the switch 78, the first load 79, the second load 80, and the control circuit 81 are omitted compared to the first embodiment. That is, a backflow prevention unit 74, a resistor 76, and a power storage device 77 are connected in series to the output terminal of the power conditioner 73. The power storage device 77 is configured to be detachable.

[0079] Fig. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the surface treatment device according to embodiment 3. As shown in Fig. 11, first, the high-frequency power supply 63 starts corona discharge (S51). Next, the power conditioner 73 temporarily stores the charge generated on the roll 61 and converts the AC current based on the charge into DC current (S52). The capacitor 77 is charged by the DC current (S53).

[0080] According to the surface treatment device 6b of the third embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the electric charge generated in the roll 61 is temporarily stored in the power conditioner 73, thereby suppressing electrolytic corrosion of the bearing 66. Furthermore, according to the surface treatment device 6a of the third embodiment, the control circuit 81 is not required, so the configuration is simplified and the risk of failure and costs can be reduced. Furthermore, the electric charge generated in the roll 61 can be charged into a capacitor 77, which can be used as a power source for other circuits, etc. Furthermore, if the capacitor 77 has a large storage capacity, it is possible to eliminate the need for complicated work such as replacing the capacitor when it becomes fully charged.

[0081] (Embodiment 4) A surface treatment device according to a fourth embodiment will be described.

[0082] Fig. 12 is a diagram schematically illustrating the configuration of a surface treatment device according to embodiment 4. As shown in Fig. 12, the surface treatment device 6c according to embodiment 4 differs from embodiment 1 in the configuration of the power storage device. The surface treatment device 6c is configured so that a plurality of power storage devices can be sequentially charged in the power storage device 70c.

[0083] 12, compared to the first embodiment, the power storage device 70c has a changeover switch 75a instead of the changeover switch 75. Furthermore, the power storage device 70c has a resistor 76a and a first capacitor 77a, and a resistor 76b and a second capacitor 77b instead of the resistor 76 and the capacitor 77. The switch 78 and the first load 79 are omitted.

[0084] 12, a backflow prevention unit 74 is connected to the output terminal of the power conditioner 73, and an input terminal T0 of a changeover switch 75a is connected to the output terminal of the backflow prevention unit 74. The changeover switch 75a has three output terminals.

[0085] A resistor 76a and a first capacitor 77a are connected in series to the first output terminal T1. A resistor 76b and a second capacitor 77b are connected in series to the third output terminal T3. A second load 80 is connected to the second output terminal T2. The first capacitor 77a and the second capacitor 77b are configured to be detachable. A control circuit 81 detects the states of the first capacitor 77a and the second capacitor 77b and controls the changeover switch 75a based on the detection results.

[0086] Fig. 13 is a flowchart showing the operation of the surface treatment apparatus according to the fourth embodiment. As shown in Fig. 13, first, the high-frequency power supply 63 starts corona discharge (S61). Next, the power conditioner 73 temporarily stores AC current based on the charge generated on the roll 61 and converts it to DC current (S62). The control circuit 81 first switches the connection destination of the switching terminal S of the changeover switch 75 to the first output terminal T1, i.e., the first capacitor 77a (S63). The power output from the power conditioner 73 is configured to be stored in the first capacitor 77a.

[0087] Next, the control circuit 81 detects the state of the first capacitor 77a and determines whether or not there is an abnormality based on the detection result (S64). If the control circuit 81 determines that there is an abnormality (S64: Yes), it switches the connection destination of the switching terminal S of the changeover switch 75 to the second output side terminal T2, i.e., the second load 80 side, stops charging of the first capacitor 77a (S65), and ends the process.

[0088] On the other hand, if the control circuit 81 determines that there is no abnormality (S64: No), it determines whether or not the charging voltage Va of the first capacitor 77a has reached the voltage V1 corresponding to full charge (S66). If the control circuit 81 determines that the charging voltage Va has not reached the voltage V1 (S66: No), it continues charging the first capacitor 77a (S67). Then, the control circuit 81 determines whether or not to end the process based on a user operation or the occurrence of an event that requires termination (S68). If the control circuit 81 determines that the process should be terminated (S68: Yes), it terminates the process. If the control circuit 81 determines that the process should not be terminated (S68: No), it returns to step S64 and continues the process.

[0089] In step S66, when the control circuit 81 determines that the charging voltage Va has reached the voltage V1 (S66: Yes), it switches the connection destination of the switching terminal S of the changeover switch 75 to the third output side terminal T3, i.e., the second capacitor 77b side, and starts charging the second capacitor 77b (S69). At this time, the fully charged first capacitor 77a is replaced by the user with another uncharged capacitor.

[0090] Furthermore, the control circuit 81 detects the state of the second capacitor 77b and determines whether or not an abnormality has occurred based on the detection result (S70). If the control circuit 81 determines that an abnormality has occurred (S70: Yes), the control circuit 81 proceeds to step S65, switches the connection destination of the switching terminal S of the changeover switch 75 to the second output side terminal T2, i.e., the second load 80 side, stops charging of the second capacitor 77b (S65), and ends the process.

[0091] On the other hand, if the control circuit 81 determines in step S70 that there is no abnormality (S70: No), it determines whether or not the charging voltage Vb of the second capacitor 77b has reached the voltage V1 corresponding to full charge (S71). If the control circuit 81 determines in step S71 that the charging voltage Vb has reached the voltage V1 (S71: Yes), it returns to step S63, switches the connection destination of the switching terminal S of the changeover switch 75 to the first output side terminal T1, i.e., the first capacitor 77a side, and starts charging the uncharged first capacitor 77a again (S63). At this time, the fully charged second capacitor 77b is replaced by another uncharged capacitor by the user.

[0092] In step S71, if the control circuit 81 determines that the charging voltage Vb has not reached the voltage V1 (S71: No), it continues charging the second capacitor 77b. Then, the control circuit 81 determines whether or not to end the process based on a user operation or the occurrence of an event that requires termination (S73). If the control circuit 81 determines that the process should be terminated (S73: Yes), it terminates the process, and if it determines that the process should not be terminated (S73: No), it returns to step S70 and continues the process.

That is, a backflow prevention unit 74 and a first load 79 are connected in series to the output terminal of the power conditioner 73. The first load 79 is, for example, an electronic circuit, such as a circuit constituting the surface treatment device 6d or the film production system 1, or an external device.

[0097] Fig. 15 is a flowchart showing the operation of the surface treatment apparatus according to the fifth embodiment. As shown in Fig. 15, first, the high-frequency power supply 63 starts corona discharge (S81). Next, the power conditioner 73 temporarily stores the charge generated on the roll 61 and converts the AC current based on the charge into DC current (S82). The first load 79 receives power from the DC current (S83).

[0098] According to the surface treatment device 6d of the fifth embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the electric charge generated in the roll 61 is temporarily stored in the power conditioner 73, thereby suppressing electrolytic corrosion of the bearing 66. Furthermore, according to the surface treatment device 6a of the fifth embodiment, a control circuit and a capacitor are not required, so the configuration is simplified and the risk of failure and costs can be reduced.

As shown in Fig. 16, the surface treatment device 6e according to embodiment 6 differs from embodiment 1 in the configuration of the power storage device. The surface treatment device 6e does not include a capacitor in its power storage device 70e, and is configured so that power from a power conditioner 73 that temporarily stores the charge generated in the roll 61 is supplied to a second load 80 that is configured such as a resistor.

[0101] 16, compared to the first embodiment, the power storage device 70e has a configuration in which the changeover switch 75, the resistor 76, the power storage device 77, the switch 78, the first load 79, and the control circuit 81 are omitted. That is, a backflow prevention unit 74 and a second load 80 are connected in series to the output terminal of the power conditioner 73. The second load 80 is, for example, a passive element such as a resistor or a light-emitting element.

[0102] Fig. 17 is a flowchart showing the operation of the surface treatment apparatus according to the sixth embodiment. As shown in Fig. 17, first, the high-frequency power supply 63 starts corona discharge (S91). Next, the power conditioner 73 temporarily stores the charge generated on the roll 61 and converts the AC current based on the charge into DC current (S92). The second load 80 receives a supply of power based on the DC current (S83). The second load 80 converts the power into heat, light, or the like and consumes it.

[0103] According to the surface treatment device 6e of the sixth embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the charge generated in the roll 61 is temporarily stored in the power conditioner 73, thereby slowing the progression of electrolytic corrosion of the bearing 66. Furthermore, according to the surface treatment device 6e of the sixth embodiment, a control circuit is not required, so the structure can be simplified, and the risk of failure and costs can be reduced. Furthermore, when the second load 80 is a resistor, the resistor can be used as a heater. When the second load 80 is a light-emitting element, the light-emitting element can be used as lighting.

[0104] (Embodiment 7) A surface treatment method according to a seventh embodiment will be described. The surface treatment method according to the seventh embodiment is a corona discharge treatment method in a corona discharge treatment device that performs surface treatment on a treatment object by generating a corona discharge on the surface of the treatment object.

In this surface treatment method, an electric charge generated on the roll by generating a corona discharge between the electrode and the roll is at least temporarily stored in a power conditioner including an AC / DC converter.

[0105] According to the surface treatment method of the seventh embodiment, the electric charge generated in the roll is temporarily stored in the power conditioner, so that electrolytic corrosion of the bearing can be suppressed.

[0107] In addition, when the raw material is a metal, it may be naturally cooled and ready for stretching, but when the raw material is a plastic resin, it may be necessary to cool the raw material in preparation for stretching. Therefore, the film production system may be provided with a cooling device that cools the film extruded by the extrusion device, and the stretching device may stretch the cooled film.

[0108] Furthermore, if the raw material has physical properties that make it easy to become charged, it may be necessary to remove the charge remaining on the surface-treated film to prevent the films from sticking together and make it easier to wind up. Therefore, the film production system may include a static eliminator that eliminates the charge generated on the film that has been surface-treated by the surface treatment device, and the winding device may wind up the film that has been static-eliminated by the static eliminator.

[0109] According to the film production system of the eighth embodiment, the electric charge generated in the roll is temporarily stored in a power conditioner including an AC / DC converter, so that electrolytic corrosion of the bearing can be suppressed.
