Description

  The present invention relates to a soundproof carpet that is lightweight and has excellent sound absorption properties and also has excellent antiallergen, deodorant and antibacterial effects.

  Conventionally, for example, a floor carpet having a felt layer or a non-woven fabric layer and excellent in sound absorption performance is laid on the floor of an automobile.

  On the other hand, on this floor carpet, an automobile mat generally composed of a non-woven fabric as a base material, a fiber base material in which a pile is driven, and a backing layer formed on the back surface of the fiber base material is laid.

  However, the backing layer in the car mat is made of a synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride resin and functions as a sound insulation layer. When this car mat is placed on a floor carpet, wind noise or the like is generated. Noise from the outside of the vehicle is rebounded by the backing layer of the automobile mat, and sufficient measures have not been taken for noise from outside the vehicle. In particular, since automobile mats made of synthetic resin are heavy, while energy saving has been sought in recent years, with the reduction in weight of automobiles, further reduction in weight is required for automobile mats as accessories.

  On the other hand, for carpets and mats laid on the floors of buildings and corridors, the backing layer on the back side of the fiber base material is a sound insulation layer. As a result, sufficient sound absorption measures were not taken.

  As a result of intensive studies in view of such circumstances, the present inventor has provided a soundproof carpet having further excellent sound absorption performance (see Patent Document 1). As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the soundproof carpet 1 has a backing layer 3 formed on the back side of a fiber base 2, and a large number of through holes 4 penetrating the backing layer 3 through its front and back sides. Is formed.

  On the other hand, there are bad smells in the passenger compartment such as sweat and body odors coming from the human body, food residue, etc., and pets, such as body odors and urine odors. Moreover, since the environment in the passenger compartment is maintained at an appropriate humidity and temperature, it is easy for bacteria to propagate, so removal of bad odor has been taken up as a major issue. In recent years, allergen countermeasures have been demanded with the rapid increase in allergic patients, but considering allergen removal in the car, in order to solve these problems, in addition to the above-mentioned sound absorption, deodorant, A sound absorbing carpet having both antiallergenic and antibacterial properties has been proposed (see Patent Document 2).

The gist of the invention is a soundproof carpet having a structure having a large number of fine pores to be communicated, and having a metal phthalocyanine compound or a derivative thereof attached to at least one of the hollow fiber surface and the fiber interior.

  In the soundproof carpet of the present invention, the fiber backing or the perforated resin backing has a hollow portion along the longitudinal direction of the fiber inside the fiber backing, and a large number of the hollow portion inside the fiber leads to the fiber surface. Since hollow fibers having a structure having micropores are included, the soundproofing is achieved in the process of passing through a large number of micropores that are lightweight and pass from the hollow portion of the hollow fiber and the hollow portion inside the fiber to the fiber surface. The sound energy transmitted to the carpet is attenuated, so that excellent sound absorption is exhibited.

  Further, in this soundproof carpet, the surface of the hollow fiber having a structure having a hollow portion in the fiber along the longitudinal direction of the fiber and having a plurality of fine holes extending from the hollow portion inside the fiber to the fiber surface. In addition, since the metal phthalocyanine compound or a derivative thereof is attached to at least one of the inside of the fiber, the effect of the metal phthalocyanine compound or the derivative thereof is hardly inhibited, and an excellent antiallergen effect, deodorizing effect, and antibacterial effect are exhibited. It has come to be demonstrated.

  Hereinafter, the soundproof carpet of the present invention will be described in more detail in accordance with a preferred embodiment shown in the drawings. The soundproof carpet of the present invention includes a carpet laid indoors, a chair mat for computer operation, a floor mat laid at the entrance of a room, a doormat, and a floor laid in an elevator or in front of an elevator door. It can be suitably used for a surface mat or a floor mat laid in a room such as an automobile, train or airplane.

  The soundproof carpets of the present invention include those having a fibrous backing on the back side of the surface fiber substrate and those having a perforated resin backing on the back side of the surface fiber substrate. First, the soundproof carpet 11 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. The soundproof carpet 11 shows a form in which a fiber backing 19 is provided on the back side of the surface fiber base material 12. The surface fiber base material 12 includes, for example, polyolefin fibers such as polypropylene and polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and the like. Non-woven fabrics, papers, woven fabrics, and knitted fabrics comprising one or more selected from the following: polyester fibers, polyamide fibers such as nylon 6 and nylon 66, acrylic fibers such as polyacrylonitrile, and polyvinyl alcohol fibers Or the composite_body | complex which combined them can be used. For this reason, the sound hitting the soundproof carpet 11 repeatedly collides with the constituent fibers in the process of passing between the constituent fibers of the surface fiber base material 12, and at this time, the sound energy is converted as thermal energy, and the sound is attenuated. Has been made.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a non-woven fabric having an olefin fiber such as polyethylene fiber or polypropylene fiber as a constituent fiber is used as the surface fiber base 12. In addition, the raw material and structure of the fiber base material are not particularly limited, and may be appropriately determined in consideration of the use and use state of the soundproof carpet.

  The surface fiber base 12 can also have a function of discharging static electricity in the air by including conductive fibers (not shown). As the form of the surface fiber base material 12 including the conductive fibers, a form in which the pile 13a including the conductive fibers 18 is driven into the surface fiber base material 12 or the discharge paper 15 is laminated and integrated on the back surface side of the fiber base material 12. Can be mentioned.

  As a form in which a pile is tufted on the surface fiber base material 12, a tuft of two types of a pile 13a including the conductive fiber 18 and a pile 13b not including the conductive fiber 18 can be cited as a preferred example. As the piles 13a and 13b, synthetic fibers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyester, natural fibers such as cotton and wool, and semi-synthetic fibers such as rayon are mixed alone or in combination, and twisted to a predetermined thickness. (For example, about 1800 to 4000 decitex). The yarn is tufted on the surface fiber base 12 so as to have a predetermined volume (for example, a ratio of 5 to 10 per inch).

  In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the pile 13a including the conductive fibers 18 and the pile 13b not including the conductive fibers 18 are tufted to the surface fiber base material 12. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It can be freely changed such as a pile including the conductive fiber 18.

  When the surface fiber base material 12 is tufted with a pile, the adhesive layer 14 may be formed for the purpose of preventing the pile from coming off. The adhesive layer 14 is made of, for example, a urethane-based moisture curable adhesive or a hot melt adhesive. In addition, when the discharge paper 15 and the felt layer 17 which are mentioned later are provided on the back surface of the front surface fiber base material 12, the adhesive layer 14 is a joint for joining the discharge paper 15 or the felt layer 17 to the front surface fiber base material 12 together with the retaining of the pile. It becomes a means. In this case, the adhesive layer 14 may be a layer that can be partially bonded, such as a dot shape, a net shape, a linear shape, or a circular shape, so that sound transmitted through the surface fiber substrate 12 can pass therethrough. In the example shown in the figure, a spider web that is formed of a hot-melt adhesive and that is thinned by heat and / or pressure during bonding is used.

  When the adhesive layer 14 that can be partially bonded is employed, the discharge paper 15 or the felt layer 17 and the surface fiber substrate 12 are partially bonded. For this reason, when the discharge paper 15 or the felt layer 17 and the surface fiber substrate 12 are bonded by the adhesive layer 14, the adhesive layer 14 is interposed between the discharge paper 15 or the felt layer 17 and the surface fiber substrate 12. Thus, a portion to be bonded and a portion to be not bonded are formed. The part to be bonded acts to prevent the discharge paper 15 or the felt layer 17 and the surface fiber substrate 12 from peeling off. The unbonded portion forms a gap between the discharge paper 15 or the felt layer 17 and the surface fiber substrate 12, and the sound transmitted through the surface fiber substrate 12 passes through the gap and the discharge paper 15 or the felt layer 17. In the process, sound energy is converted as heat energy, and sound is attenuated.

  When the surface fiber base material 12 takes the form containing the discharge paper 15. The discharge paper 15 is made by making paper using a conductive fiber such as carbon fiber, metal fiber, conductive ceramic fiber, synthetic fiber such as acrylic fiber or polyester fiber, pulp, thermoplastic binder such as polyvinyl alcohol, It is desirable to use the paper surface in which a part of the conductive fibers protrudes. Examples of such discharge paper 15 include 3 to 15% by weight of conductive fiber and 20 to 70% by weight of synthetic fiber such as acrylic fiber and polyester fiber (both the fineness of the conductive fiber and the synthetic fiber is 1 to 1%). 5d, fiber length is 3 to 20 mm), the remaining wood pulp and fibrous thermoplastic binder are mixed at a ratio within the above range, and the mixture is further shredded through a beater to obtain a uniform mixture, followed by wet papermaking Some are manufactured by law. For each square centimeter of the discharge paper 13, 50 or more conductive fibers (not shown) irregularly project vertically or obliquely from the surface of the discharge paper 13 so that static electricity is discharged from the projection in the air. It has become.

  In the form shown in FIG. 1, a felt layer 17 is provided on the inner side of the discharge paper 15 via an adhesive layer 16.
