Description

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FUSION BY BLOW BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention relates, in a general manner, to the melt blending processes and to the die assemblies for the practice of blow-melt processes, and more particularly to the die assemblies with a plurality of holes. for dispensing adhesive flanked on each side by air-dispensing orifices, wherein the adhesive flows from the plurality of dispensing holes of the adhesive is punched or stamped and attenuated by relatively high speed, high temperature air flows from the air-dispensing orifices to form adhesive filaments. Blow melting is a process for forming fibers or filaments when punching and attenuating a first flow of fluid, such as molten thermoplastic, with shear forces from a second adjacent fluid flow, such as hot air, at a relatively high speed for the first fluid flow. These blow-melt filaments can be continuous or discontinuous, and the average in size can be between several tenths of microns and several hundred microns, depending on the melt material per blow and the requirements of a particular application. Applications of blow-melt processes include, among others, the formation of non-woven fabrics and the dispensing of melt-blown adhesive materials to bond or bond substrates in the production of a variety of hygienic articles that absorb body fluids such as diapers. disposable and incontinence towels, sanitary napkins, coating for patients and bandages. In U.S. Patent No. 5,145,689 entitled "Melting blow by blow" issued on September 8, 1992 to Aleen et al, for example, an elongated die assembly includes a defined triangular die tip when the surfaces converge. they form an appendage with a plurality of holes arranged in a series therein. A continuous air passage formed by the air plates arranged along and separated from the converging surfaces of the tip of the die directs the converging sheets of high temperature, high air velocity along the converging surfaces of the tip from the die towards the appendix where the high velocity air cuts and attenuates the polymer flows dispensed from a plurality of orifices. U.S. Patent No. 5,145,689 also features an operable valve assembly located upstream of the plurality of holes, to selectively control the flow of the polymer toward the holes in the tip of the die.

The inventors of the present recognize that compressing and heating the air required to form the melt-blown and other filament adhesives is an expensive aspect of the melt-blow process. The inventors also recognize that punching or stamping and attenuating the fluid dispensed from the series of holes in a die with converging air flow sheets disposed along opposite sides of the series of holes is an inefficient configuration for the melting processes. by blow that require substantial amounts of compressed air, which is expensive. More specifically, the substantial portion of each sheet or air plate contributes very little to the blow-melt process since only those portions of the air sheet near the opposite flank sides of the individual fluid flows have a significant effect in die-cutting and attenuation of dispensed fluids. Also, only the shear components of the converging air flow sheets, which are parallel to the direction of the fluid flow dispensed, contribute to the die cutting and attenuation of the dispensed fluid. The compressive component of the converging air flow sheets, which flows perpendicular to the direction of the fluid flow dispensed, does not contribute to the die cutting and attenuation of the dispensed fluid. The inventors further recognize that maximizing the shear component of the air flow will increase the average at which the blow molten material is punched and attenuated and the required amounts of compressed air are reduced, resulting in reduced production costs. The inventors of the present recognize that any fluid rest along the fluid supply conduit between the controllable fluid supply control valve and the fluid dispensing orifice presents the tendency to continue the flow from the fluid dispensing orifice afterwards. that the fluid supply has been terminated. However, it is not desired in any way, in applications that require exact dispensing of melt-blown fluid, including the application of melt-blown adhesives to substrates, that any fluid flow continue from the fluid orifice, after which The fluid supply is finished. The inventors also recognize that it is necessary in any blow-by-blow adhesive applications, including the manufacture of hygienic articles that absorb body fluids, produce uniformly and apply the melted filaments per blow. More specifically, it is necessary to apply a consistent layer of molten material per blow on a substrate or other surfaces and to produce, likewise, a defined interface or joints between the covered areas and those not covered cor. the material blown by blow. In the production of hygienic articles for the absorption of bodily fluids, for example, it is absolutely necessary to control the application of melt-blown adhesives in specific areas of the substrate, since only designated portions of the substrate require the adhesive, whereas the other areas union is not required or discarded as waste. The inventors of the present invention further recognize that the manufacture and manufacture of the prior art blow-melt dies limits the scope of blow-melt applications, for which die-cutting or stamping can be used. More specifically, blow-molding die-cutting requires precision machining techniques to make the dispensing orifices of fluid with a really very small diameter and other die characteristics. For some applications the manufacture of the die required is limited to existing techniques, and in many other applications the requirements for the manufacture of the die have prohibitive costs. In view of the above discussion, among other considerations, there is a demonstrated need for a breakthrough in the technique of melt-blow processes and apparatus for the practice of melt-blow processes.

Therefore, it is an object of the invention to provide a novel blow-melt method and apparatus for the practice of blow-melt methods which overcomes the problems of the prior art. It is also an object of the invention to provide novel blow-melt methods and apparatuses which is economical and useful for the application of melt-blow adhesives to substrates in the production of body fluid-absorbing sanitary articles. Another object of the invention is to provide novel blow-melt devices and methods that reduce the amounts of fluid that is required to form melt-blown filaments, and in particular, the amounts of air that are required to die-cut and attenuate the filaments of adhesive. blown by blow. Still another object of the invention is to provide novel blow-melt methods and apparatuses for removing fluid flow residues from the dispensing orifices of a body member after the supply of the fluid to the orifices is terminated. It is still another object of the invention to provide apparatus and methods for novel blow-melt to control the application of melt-blown filaments, and more particularly to selectively control the average flow of the mass of fluid dispensed, and to control , selectively the hesitation parameters of the dispensed fluid and also selectively, control the patterns of the melt-blown filaments applied to a substrate including the definition of edges of the melted filaments per blow. Still another object of the invention is to provide a melt-blow die assembly comprising a plurality of laminated members for distributing a first and a second fluid corresponding to the first and second orifice, arranged in alternating series, wherein each of the holes they are placed on the flanks, on sides substantially opposite the second holes, and where the first and second fluid flows are directed practically so that they do not converge. Still another object of the invention is to provide a novel blow-melt die assembly comprising a plurality of laminated members or plates for distributing the first and second fluids to the first and second corresponding holes arranged in alternating series of the first and second orifices, wherein each of the first and second orifices arranged on both sides, substantially opposite of the first orifice forms an array of fluid dispensing orifices, and wherein a plurality of at least two arrays are placed either collinear or parallel, or not parallel in relation to the other in the blow-melt die assembly. It is another object of the invention to provide a novel blow fusion assembly that is mounted on a die adapter assembly that supplies fluids to the die assembly, wherein a plurality of at least two die adapter assemblies are arranged adjacently. to form an array of adjacent die assemblies. These and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent after consideration of the following detailed description of the invention with the accompanying drawings, which may be disproportionate to facilitate understanding, wherein both the structure and steps have corresponding numerical references and indicators.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIGURE 1 is a diagrammatic view of a blow-by-blow process or method in which the first fluid is dispensed to form a fluid flow Fl at a first speed and a second fluid is dispensed to form a second flow of separated fluid F2 at a second velocity along substantially opposite sides of the first fluid flow Fl. According to this configuration, the first fluid flow Fl is located between the second separated fluid flow F2, where the substantially opposite sides of the first fluid flow Fl are each flanked by a second fluid flows F2 to form an array of fluid flows as shown in FIGURE 1. The second speed of the second fluid flows F2 is greater than the first velocity of the first fluid flow Fl, such that the second fluid flows F2 punches and attenuates the first flow of fluid Fl to form a first filament of fluid FF. The longitude of the arrows Fl and Fl is indicative of, although proportional nc, the relative speeds between them. The first fluid flow Fl and the second fluid flow F2 are generally directed non-convergent. FIGURE 1 shows the first fluid flow Fl and the flank of the second flow of fluid F2 directed in parallel, which maximizes the effect of punching of the shear component of the second fluid flows F2 is the first fluid flow Fl. However, in another embodiment, it may be advantageous to divergently direct the first fluid flow Fl and the second fluid flow F2 to control the application or delivery of the FF fluid filament with virtually no adverse effects on the shear component. of the second fluid flows F2 available for punching the first fluid flow Fl. The method can be practiced, more generally, by dispensing the first fluid to form a plurality of first fluid flows Fl at a first velocity and dispensing second fluid to form a plurality of second fluid flows F2 at a second velocity, where the plurality of the first fluid flows Fl and the plurality of the second fluid flows F2 are arranged in alternative series such that one of the plurality of the first fluid flows Fl is placed on the flank on the sides practically opposed by a plurality of second fluid flows F2. According to this configuration, each of the plurality of first fluid flows Fl in the alternate series has one of the second plurality of fluid flows F2 on substantially opposite sides of the first fluid flows Fl.

The second speed of the plurality of the second fluid flows F2 is greater than the first speed of the plurality of the first fluid flows Fl, so that the plurality of the second fluid flows F2 punches and attenuates the plurality of the first fluids F2. fluid flows Fl to form a plurality of first filaments of fluid FF. The plurality of the first fluid flows Fl and the plurality of the second fluid flows F2 together with the substantially opposite flanking sides of the first fluid flows Fl, are generally non-convergent, as discussed above. According to this way of practicing the invention, the arrangement of the plurality of the first and second fluids of fluids in alternate series uses the shear component of the plurality of the second fluid flows F2 in a relatively effective manner to puncture and attenuate the plurality of the first fluid flows Fl to form a plurality of first filament flows. FIGURE 1 shows the first fluid flow Fl including the first filament of fluid FF, hesitant under the effect of the second flows of flanked fluids F2, whose hesitation is attributed, generally, to the instability of the fluid flows. The first hesitation of the fluiao flow is characterized, generally, per a parameter of a pAtud and a parameter of frequency, which are variables. The hesitation can be controlled, for example, by varying a spacing between the first fluid flow Fl and one or more second flanged fluid flows F2, or by varying an amount of one or more of the second fluid flows F2, or by varying the speed of one or more of the second fluid flows F2. The frequency parameter of the hesitation is controlled, generally, by varying the speed of the second fluid flows F2, in relation to the velocity of the first fluid flow Fl. Generally, the amplitude of the hesitation is controlled by varying the separation between the first fluid flow Fl and the second fluid flow F2, or by varying the flow volumes or the amount of the second fluid flows F2. The symmetry of the hesitation is controlled, generally by varying one of the second flows of the fluid F2 relative to the other of the second flows of fluids F2. The control of the symmetry of the hesitation is an effective mechanism to control the edge profile or the definition of the edge of the first filament of fluid in some applications, as will be discussed below. These methods for controlling the hesitation parameters of the first fluid flow Fl are also applied to control the hesitation parameters of a plurality of the first fluid flows and the corresponding plurality of the first fluid filaments.

FIGURE 2a is a partial cross-sectional view of a blow-molding die, for example, or a body member 10 for implementing the processes according to the present invention. Generally, the first fluid is supplied from the first orifice 12 of the body member to form the first fluid flow Fl, and the second fluid flow is supplied from the second orifices 14 to form the second separated fluid flows F2 flanking, substantially on opposite sides of first fluid flow Fl to form an array of hole 30, one of which is mentioned in FIGURE 2b. More generally, the body member 10 may include a plurality of first holes 12 each flanked on substantially opposite sides by a plurality of second holes 14 to form the alternate series of the aforementioned first and second fluid flows. Still more generally, the body member 10 may include a plurality of at least two arrays of holes each formed by a first hole and second holes on substantially opposite sides of the first hole. FIGURE 2b, for example, shows a body member 10 having a plurality of at least two arrangements of holes 30 in various example configurations. According to one of the configurations, a common surface 11 of the body member 10 includes a first array of holes 32 and a second array of holes 32 arranged in parallel, although not necessarily collinearly, to provide, intervals, the first filaments of FF fluids that hesitate in substantially parallel planes, of which only one is shown to have a clear understanding. In a more particular configuration, the filaments of fluid FF produced by the orifice arrangements at intervals 32 and 34 can be controlled to overlap slightly. In another configuration, an orifice array 36 is oriented at an angle relative to one of the other array of holes 32 or 34 to provide the first filaments of fluids FF that hesitate in intercepted planes as shown. And in another configuration, one or more arrays of holes 30 and 38 are located on other surfaces 13 and 19 of the body member 10 relative to other orifice arrangements 32, 34 and 36 to provide a distribution of dimensional fluid filaments. These basic configurations, example can also be combined to produce other configurations. FIGURE 2a shows one of the second holes recessed in an opening 15 of the body member 10, relative to the first hole 12. According to this configuration, the second recessed orifice 14 prevents migration or upward movement of the first fluid flow from the first hole 12 in the second hole 14 to avoid obstruction thereof. In another embodiment, the two pluralities of the second holes 14 in each of the substantially opposite sides of the first hole 12 are recessed relative to the first hole 12. FIGURE 2 also shows the opening 15 having a decrease or thinning slower extending away from the second hole 14, which forms a recessed opening. According to this alternative configuration, the recessed opening 17 prevents upward movement of the first fluid flow Fl from the first orifice 12 in the second orifice 14, as discussed above. The recessed opening 17 also modifies the second fluid flow F2, for example, by enlarging or increasing the cross-sectional area of the second fluid flow F2. In another embodiment, the two pluralities of recesses 15 in the substantially opposite sides of the first holes 12 have an increased thinning to form a recessed opening 17 as mentioned above. Generally, the first and second holes 12 and 14 of the body member 10 can have any transverse shape including circular, rectangular and, in general, polygonal shapes. In one embodiment of the invention shown in FIGURE 2 a, a high pressure zone 16 is generally located near the outlet of the first orifice 12 with flows of three separate fluids converging, F3 to block the first flow. of fluid remaining from the first orifice 12 after the supply of the first fluid has stopped. According to this aspect of the invention, the convergence of the three fluid flows F3 is directed from the same side or from the opposite sides of the series of first and second fluid flows Fl and F2, such that the three fluid flows converge F3 and meet to form the high pressure zone 16 near the outlet of the first orifice 12. Alternatively, the high pressure zone 16 can be formed by diverting or converging the second fluid flows F2, where the second deflected fluid flows F2 form the third convergent fluid flows F3. In the preferred configuration, the third fluid flows converge F3 in such a way as to form the high pressure zone 16 near the outlet of the first orifice 12 which does not have a component of the third fluid flow F3 in the direction of the first flow of the fluid Fl to ensure that the first residual fluid flow is blocked. This process of converging the third fluid flows F3 to form the high pressure zone 16 proximate the first orifice 12 to block the first residual fluid flow, after the supply of the first fluid flow has been completed, is also applied to blocking the first residual fluid flow from each of the plurality of first orifices, where the corresponding high pressure zone 16 is generated, close to the exit of each of the plurality of first orifices. In another embodiment of the invention shown in FIGURE 2a, the first separate fluid flows Fll and F12 are formed from the first orifice 12 by dispensing the first fluid through an enlarged opening 18 of the first orifice 12. and punching the first fluid flow with a second separated fluid flow F2 at a second velocity, which is greater than the first velocity of the first fluid flow, wherein the first separated fluid flows Fll and F12 form the first fluids filaments separated. According to this aspects of the invention, the flanking of the second fluid flows F2 creates the corresponding low pressure zones on the practically opposite sides of the first fluid flow, which has to separate the first fluid flow emanating from the opening increased 18 of the first orifice 12. This process is also applied to form first fluid flows separated from one or more plurality of first orifices of a body member, wherein the corresponding one or more of the first orifices 12 have an enlarged opening 18, as previously discussed. Another way to form separate fluid flows Fll and F12 from the first orifice 12, includes generating a high pressure zone 16 near the outlet of the first orifice 12 with the convergence of four fluid flows and the punching of the first flows of fluid Fll and F12 with the second separated fluid flows F2 at a second velocity, which is greater than the first velocity of the first fluid flow, wherein the first separated fluid flows Fll and F12 form the first separated fluid filaments. According to this aspect of the invention, the four fluid flows can be directed so that they converge from opposite sides of the series formed by the first and second fluid flows, or the arrangement, such that the four fluid flows converge and meet to form the high pressure zone 16, as mentioned above. The first hole 12 does not need an enlarged opening 18 to implement this alternative aspect of the invention, which is also applied to form fluid flows separated from each other of a plurality of first orifices of a body member, where the corresponding high pressure zone is generated, close to the exit of each of the plurality of first orifices. According to another aspect of the invention, the first fluid is supplied with a plurality of first orifices to form a plurality of first fluid flows at an average mass flow that is substantially the same, and a second fluid is supplied from a plurality of second orifices to form the plurality of second fluid flows, at substantially the same mass flow averages. According to a related aspect of the invention, the mass flow averages of one or more of the plurality of the first fluid flows are controlled by varying the size of one or both of the corresponding first orifices 12 and the fluid pressure. through the corresponding first orifice 12, wherein the corresponding one or more of the first fluid flows have different mass flow averages. The average mass flow of one or more of the plurality of second fluid flows is controlled in a similar manner. And according to a related aspect of the invention, the melt blow die or the body member has a plurality of arrays or a plurality of first holes and a plurality of second holes in an alternative series, as discussed above. above, it also includes the first mechanisms for substantially uniformly distributing the first fluid supply to one or more of the plurality of first orifices 12 to form the plurality of first fluids Fl at the first velocity and, practically at the same average flow of mass, and second mechanisms for the practically uniform distribution of the second fluid supplied to one or more of the plurality of second orifices 14 to form the plurality of second fluxes F2 at the second velocity and, practically at the same average flow . According to this aspect of the invention, the supply of the plurality of the first filaments of fluid formed upon die-cutting and attenuating the plurality of the first fluid flows from the plurality of the first orifices of the die assembly can be controlled by controlling the distribution of the first fluid to the plurality of the first orifices 12. In FIGURES 3, 4 and 5, the example of the die assembly 100 comprises a plurality of laminated members or plates. The plates in FIGURE 3 are assembled on top of each other, starting with the plate in FIGURE 3a and ending with the plate in FIGURE 3a. The plates of FIGURES 3f-3k correspond to the plates in FIGURES 4a-4f, respectively, and the plates of FIGURES 3f-31 correspond to the set of FIGURE 5, which shows alternative series of the plurality of the first and second holes 110 and 120, in the manner as discussed above. The first and second fluids supplied to die assembly 100 are distributed to the plurality of first and second orifices 110 and 120 as described below. The first fluid is supplied from the first entrance of the restriction cavity 132 and the plate of FIGURE 3f, which is also shown in FIGURE 4a, to the first cavity of the restrictor 130 in the plate of FIGURE 3, which is also shown in FIG. shown in FIGURE 4b, through a plurality of conduits 134 in the plate of FIGURE 3h, which is also shown in FIGURE 4c, and in the first cavity of accumulator 140 in the plate of FIGURE 3i, which is also shown in FIG. shows in FIGURE 4d, where it accumulates in the first fluid. Then, the first fluid is supplied from the cavity of the accumulator 140 through a plurality of conduits 136 in the plate of FIGURE 3j, which is also shown in FIGURE 4e, towards a plurality of first slots 109 in the plate of the FIGURE 3k, which is also shown in FIGURE 4f. The plurality of the first slots 109 form the plurality of the first holes 110 shown in FIGURE 5, when the plate of FIGURE 3k is disposed between the plate of FIGURE 3j and the plate of FIGURE 31. The second fluid it is supplied from a second inlet of restriction cavity 152 in the plates of FIGURES 3f-3o to the second restriction cavity 150 in the plate of FIGURE 3o, through a plurality of conduits 135 in the plate of FIGURE 3. 3n, and in the second accumulation cavity 16C in the plate of FIGURE 3m, where the second fluid accumulates. Then, the second fluid accumulated in the cavity of the accumulator 160 is supplied through a plurality of conduits 137 in the plate of FIGURE 21 to a plurality of second slots 119 in the plate of FIGURE 3k.

According to another aspect of the invention, the first average mass flow of fluid through each of the conduits 134 is controlled by varying the size of the conduits 134. In the exemplary embodiment of FIGURE 3, the First fluid that is supplied from the first cavity the restrictor 130 is distributed almost uniformly and is supplied to the first cavity of the accumulator 140 by a plurality of ducts 134 having different sizes to compensate for the decrease in pressure along the portions of the first outlet of the restriction cavity and to provide substantially the same average of the first mass flow through each of the conduits 134. The substantially uniform distribution of the first fluid accumulated in the first cavity of the accumulator 140 and supplied through of a plurality of conduits 136 in the first outlet of the accumulator cavity towards the plurality of first holes 110. And the plurality of first holes 110, which are substantially of the same size, provide the first uniform distribution of fluid to form the plurality of first fluid streams at the first velocity and, at substantially the same mass flow average. Similarly, the second fluid supplied from the second cavity of the restrictor 150 is distributed substantially uniformly and is supplied to the second cavity of the accumulator 160 by a plurality of conduits 135 having different sizes to compensate for the decrease in pressure as length of the portions of the second outlet of the restrictor cavity and to provide substantially the same second average mass flow through each of the conduits 135. The second fluid, distributed substantially uniformly, accumulates in the second cavity of the accumulator 160 and supplies, through a plurality of conduits 137 in the second outlet of the cavity the accumulator towards the plurality of the second holes 120. And the plurality of the second holes 120, which have practically the same size, supply the second fluid evenly distributed to form the second plurality of fluid flows to the second speed and practically the same average mass flow. However, in alternative embodiments, the average mass flow of fluid through one or more of the holes 110 and 120 can be varied selectively by varying the size of the corresponding holes. And in an alternative or cumulative configuration, the average mass flow of fluid through one or more of the first or second orifices 110 and 120 can be selectively varied by varying the pressure through the corresponding orifices. The pressure through a hole can be decreased, for example, by forming an additional cavity, which causes the fluid pressure to fall, along the path of fluid flow to the selected orifice. If the die assembly is made of a plurality of individual plates as discussed above, the additional cavity or cavities can easily be formed in one of the existing plates or in an additional plate. FIGURE 5 shows the plurality of second grooves 119, which form the plurality of second holes 120, provided in a recess with a recessed opening 121 relative to the plurality of first grooves 109, forming the plurality of first holes 110. As discussed above, this configuration reduces the tendency of the first fluid flows to migrate or move from the plurality of the first orifices 110 back up and in the plurality of the second orifices 120 and also modifies the plurality of the second fluid flows. To obtain this configuration, the plates of FIGURES 3j-31 have the corresponding recessed grooves 121 to provide the recessed opening when the plates of FIGS. 3j-31 are assembled. Nevertheless, in alternative embodiments the plates of FIGURES 3j-31 may have slot configurations to provide any combination of the first and second orifice configurations, as discussed above with respect to FIGURE 2a. According to other aspects of the invention, the die assembly 100 includes third mechanisms for generating a high pressure zone close to the outlet of each of the plurality of the first holes 110 with the three fluids of fluids converging, wherein the high pressure zone blocks the flow of residual fluid from the corresponding first orifice after the supply of the first fluid to the first orifice is terminated, in the manner as discussed above. And according to a related aspect of the invention, the plurality of the second fluid flows are separated to form the pressure can zones, as mentioned above. In the exemplary embodiments of the FIGURES 3 and 6, the die assembly 100 comprises a plurality of laminated members or plates, wherein the plates of FIGS. 3b-3f correspond to the plates 502-506 in the partial die assembly of FIGURE 6, respectively. According to this example configuration, the third fluid is supplied from the inlet of the third fluid 172 extending through the plates of FIGS. 3b-3e, in the first distribution cavity 170 in the plate of FIGURE 3e, through a plurality of holes 173 in the plate of FIGURE 3d, in a cavity l "74 in the plate of FIGURE 3c, and in the cavity 176 in the plate of FIGURE 3b.Then, the fourth fluid is supplied from the cavity 176 through the first plurality of holes 178 in the plate of FIGURE 3c, whose orifices 178 form a first component of the convergence of the third fluid flows.The third flow is also supplied from the third fluid inlet 172 that continues its extension through the plates of FIGURES 3e-3q, in the second distribution cavity 180 in the plate of FIGURE 3q, in a plurality of holes 183 in the plate of FIGURE 3r, in a cavity 184 in the plate of FIGURE 3s, and in a cavity 186 in the plate of FIGURE 3t. The fourth fluid is then supplied from the cavity 186 through the second plurality of holes 188 in the plate of FIGURE 3s, whose orifices 188 form a second component of the convergence of the fluid flows. The plurality of holes 173 and 183 has various sizes, which are compensated for pressure variations in the cavities 170 and 180, evenly distributing and supplying the fluid flow to the cavities 174 and 184, respectively. According to this configuration, the convergence of the third fluid streams is supplied from the respective orifices 178 and 188 to substantially the same mass flow average. However, the third average mass flow of fluid through one or more of the orifices 178 and 188 can be selectively varied, in the manner discussed above. According to the example embodiment, the first component of the third convergent fluid flows emanates from the first plurality of orifices 178 and the second component of the third convergent fluid flows from the second plurality of orifices 188 converge to form an area high pressure close to the outlet of each of the plurality of the first holes 110. The third convergent fluid flows in this exemplary embodiment do not have a flow component in the direction of the flow of the first fluid flows, in wherein the plurality of high pressure zones are used to stop or block the flow of residual fluid from the plurality of first fluid orifices after the first fluid supply to the first fluid inlet 132 ends. In another application, the convergence of the third fluids flows are useful to form the first fluids separated, from the man It was as discussed before. Exemplary embodiments of die assembly 100 may be formed of a plurality of plates of substantially the same thickness, or alternatively, may be formed of a plurality of plates having different plate thicknesses, wherein each plate thickness is determined by the size of the ducts or cavities defined therein, as shown in FIGURES 3-5. The plates can be formed from metals, plastics and ceramics among other materials, and the plates can be manufactured by stamping, punching, etching, machine printing and laser cutting, among other processes, which are relatively effective alternatives in terms of cost compared to the prior art. In addition, the die assembly 100 comprises a plurality of plates, as shown in the exemplary embodiments, providing design flexibility in the arrangements of the arrangements or holes, and fluid flow and distribution patterns, whose design and manufacture are not limited by the constraints imposed by the prior art die processes. The plates of the present die assembly, for example, can be easily fabricated to produce die assemblies having configurations based on one or more exemplary configurations of FIGURE 2b. According to another aspect of the invention the first and second fluids are supplied to the inlets of the first and second corresponding fluids 132 and 152 in a common fluid interconnection of the die assembly 100. FIGURE 7 is an example die adapter assembly 200 to mount it in the die assembly and to supply fluids thereto. The die adapter assembly 200 includes an interconnecting die assembly 210 having a first fluid exit port 212, a second fluid exit port 214, and a fluid outlet control or third port 2165, which they are coupled together by the corresponding conduits of the fluid inlet ports 213, 215 and 217 in a portion of the body 200 of the adapter 200. In another embodiment, the die adapter assembly 200 includes a second interconnection 230 with a first fluid outlet port 232, a second fluid outlet port 234 and a control or third fluid outlet port 236, which are also coupled by means of the extensions of the corresponding conduit, which is not shown, to the ports corresponding fluid inlet 231, 215 and 217 in the body portion 200 of the adapter 200. The second mounted interconnection 230 is oriented at an angle relative to the first interconnection of the assembly 210, which in the embodiment of the example is a 90 degree angle. The set of 1 die 100 is attached to the adapter 200 by mounting the die assembly 100 on the interconnection of the assembly 210 or 230. A sealing member similar to a tonco ring, which is not master, is disposed in a seat around each fluid outlet of the mounting interconnect 210 and 230 to provide a stamp between the die assembly 100 and the adapter 200. The die assembly 100 and the interconnection of the assembly 210 and 230 may also include alignment fablers for pairing that facilitate alignment and assembly of the die assembly 100 in the adapter 200 In one configuration, the die assembly 100 is mounted between the interconnection of the adapter 210 and the corresponding retainer plate 240, which retains the assembly of the die 100 mounted in the interconnection. A screw with rope, which is not shown, is disposed through the central core 232 of the retaining plate 230, and through the central core of the die assembly 100, and in a rope core 200 of the body portion 220 of the adapter assembly 200, which allows rapid installation and removal of die assembly 100 relative to adapter assembly 200. A similar retainer plate, not shown, is mounted to the unused mounting interconnect to seal the ports of fluid outlet in these. In another configuration, which is not shown, a second die assembly 100 is mounted on the second mounting interconnect, such that the adapter 200 supplies the fluids simultaneously to the two die assemblies. FIGURE 3a is a change interconnection plate for the fluid the trickle assembly for separating a single fluid flow to form either the second fluid flow or the third fluid flow, in the manner as discussed above. The fluid flow change plate includes a first fluid inlet 132, a fluid inlet 190, a flow path of the primary fluid 192, which couples the fluid inlet 190 with the third inlet of the fluid 172, and the second flow path of the fluid 194 which couples the fluid inlet 190 with the second fluid inlet 152. The flow path of the primary fluid 192 is a path of least resistance resulting from the asymmetry between the primary path 192 and the secondary path 194, in such a way that the fluid supplied to the inlet of the fluid 190 has the tendency to follow the path of the primary fluid flow in curve 192 to the third inlet of the fluid 172. The fluid from the inlet of the fluid 190 is separated from the primary path 192 to the secondary path 194 by introducing an obstruction along the primary path 192, which causes the fluid to flow along the secondary path 194 to the second inlet of the fluid 152. In the exemplary embodiment, the obstruction is a flow of air that is introduced from an inlet of the control fluid 193, which pushes the changed fluid into the second path of the fluid flow 194. The The plate of FIGURE 3a also includes a slot 195 with opposite end portions coupled by the corresponding ports 196 and 197 in the plate of FIGURE 3b to a recess 198 formed in the adjacent plates of FIGS. 3c and 3d to balance 1 under pressure of the fluid. According to this configuration, the first fluid outlet 212, the second fluid outlet 214 and the control fluid outlet 216 of the adapter of the die assembly 200 respectively engage, at the first fluid inlet 132, at the entrance of the fluid. fluid changed 190 and the control fluid inlet 193 of the change plate of FIGURE 3a to supply the fluid to the die assembly 100. In one application, the adapter of the die assembly 200 is coupled to a nozzle module MR- 1300 available from ITW Dynatec, Hendersonville, Tenn., Which includes a pneumatically operated valve to control the supply of the first fluid to the first fluid inlet 213 of the die assembly adapter 200. The control air inlet 215 of the adapter 200 is engaged to the air supply operated by the MR-1300 valve to provide the control air to the control fluid inlet 190 of the die assembly 100, which directs the fluid from the fluid inlet 190 to the fluid inlet 152 of a die assembly when the MR-1300 valve is opened to supply the first fluid to the first fluid inlet 132 of the die assembly 100. According to this configuration, the first fluid and the second fluid supplied to the assembly of the die 100 are separated from the first and second holes 110 and 120 as discussed previously. And when the MR-1300 valve is closed to terminate the first fluid supply, the control air the control fluid inlet 193 of the die assembly 100 is terminated, where the fluid from the fluid inlet 190 is directed to the inlet of the fluid 172 area forming the converging air flows, which block the first fluid from the first orifices, in the manner mentioned above. FIGURE 3z is a fluid interconnection plate of the die assembly useful as an alternative to the fluid exchange interface plate of the die assembly in FIGURE 3a, wherein the fluid inlet 190 of the die assembly 100 engages directly to the second inlet of the fluid 152, and the fluid inlet 193 of the die assembly 100 is directly coupled to the third inlet of the fluid 172. In accordance with this configuration. the air control inlet 215 of the adapter 200 is coupled to the air supply operated by the MR-1300 valve to supply an air control to the fluid inlet 193 of the die assembly 100 when the MR_1300 valve closes to terminate the first fluid towards the inlet of the first fluid 132 of the die assembly 100. This dedicated configuration provides a better response to blockage to the first residual fluid flow since a shift retainer is not required to form the third convergent fluid flows. Therefore, the convergence of the third fluid streams of the die assembly forms the high pressure zones in the presence of, but not being affected by, the second fluid flows, which punches and attenuates the first fluid flows. In yet another configuration, the fluid supplied to the fluid inlet 193 is not related to the supply of air by the action of the MR-1300 valve to provide even more control over the respective fluid flows. In accordance with another exemplary application, the blow-melt method and apparatus presented in the invention provides melt-blown adhesives on substrate in manufacturing processes including the production of body fluid-absorbing articles. According to a configuration of these applications, which are shown in FIGURE 7, a plurality of at least two adjacent die sets 100 are arranged in the adapters of the corresponding die assembly 200 arranged side by side to form a linear array of a plurality of first and second adjacent holes 100 and 120 of each of the die assembly 100. For the applications of the adhesive supply, the first and second holes of the die assembly have dimensions of between about 0.001 and 0.030 inches on each side. However, these dimensions are not limited and may be larger or smaller for this and other applications. In one configuration, at least one of the first orifices closest to the plurality of adjacent die assemblies has a first hesitation of the modified fluid flow to control the edge profile or the edge definition of the melt-blown adhesive dispensed from the arrangement of the die assembly according to the aspects and the embodiments of the invention, as discussed above.
