NANOFIBER MANUFACTURING DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a nanofiber manufacturing apparatus having a plurality of electrospinning units disposed serially along the conveying direction of a long sheet, each electrospinning unit including: a conductive case; a collector attached to the case by means of an insulation member; a nozzle block disposed to face the collector and having a plurality of nozzles from which polymer solution is ejected mounted thereon; a power supply adapted to apply a high voltage to a space between the collector and the nozzle block; an auxiliary belt formed of an insulative porous endless belt located and freely rotated at a position encompassing the collector; and an auxiliary belt driver adapted to rotate the auxiliary belt to a rotating speed corresponding to the conveying speed of the long sheet, wherein the positive electrode of the power supply is connected to the collector, and the negative electrode thereof to the nozzle block and the case, and when the collector is seen from the nozzle block, the outer edge of the insulation member is located more outwardly than the outer edge of the collector, so that if it is assumed that the thickness of the insulation member is a and the distance between the outer edge of the insulation member and the outer edge of the collector is b, it is satisfied that a ‰¥ 6mm and a+b ‰¥ 50mm.
