Artificial turf mat and manufacturing apparatus therefor

Abstract

An artificial turf mat and a manufacturing apparatus therefor. The artificial turf mat comprises: a plurality of pile yarns corresponding to artificial turf; a lining in which the plurality of pile yarns are turfed; a coating film formed by coating a coating agent on the bottom surface of the lining in which the pile yarns are exposed; and an outer fabric thermo-compressed onto the bottom surface of the lining in which the coating film is formed. The apparatus for manufacturing the artificial turf mat comprises: a pile yarn supply portion for supplying a plurality of pile yarns; a lining supply portion for supplying a lining; a weaving portion for turfing the pile yarns to the lining; and a coating portion for coating a coating agent on the bottom surface of the lining, and further comprises: an outer fabric supply portion for supplying an outer fabric; and an outer fabric compression portion for thermo-compressing the outer fabric onto the bottom surface of the lining. Therefore, the durability of the mat, due to the outer fabric, and the draining performance of the mat, due to a drain groove, can respectively be improved while lowering the production costs of the mat by reducing the consumption amount of the coating agent by coating the same on only a stitch portion of the pile yarns.

1 . An artificial turf mat comprising:
 a plurality of pile yarns corresponding to artificial turf;   a lining in which the plurality of pile yarns are turfed;   a coating film formed by coating a coating agent on the bottom surface of the lining to which the pile yarns are exposed; and   an outer fabric thermo-compressed to the bottom surface of the lining on which the coating film is formed,   wherein the coating film is formed on each of the plurality of pile yarns exposed to the bottom surface of the lining in a tufting direction of the pile yarns.   
     
     
         2 . The artificial turf mat of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of drain grooves formed between a plurality of coating rows formed by the coating film in the tufting direction of the plurality of pile yarns. 
     
     
         3 . An apparatus for manufacturing an artificial turf mat, the apparatus comprising:
 a pile yarn supply portion supplying a plurality of pile yarns corresponding to artificial turf;   a lining supply portion supplying a lining in which the plurality of pile yarns are to be tufted;   a weaving portion turfing the plurality of pile yarns supplied from the pile yarn supply portion to the lining supplied from the lining supply portion; and   a coating portion coating a coating agent on a bottom surface of the lining to which the plurality of pile yarns tufted by the weaving portion are exposed, and   the apparatus further comprising:   an outer fabric supply portion supplying an outer fabric to be adhered to the bottom surface of the lining; and   an outer fabric compression portion thermo-compressing the outer fabric supplied from the outer fabric supply portion to the bottom surface of the lining on which the coating agent has been coated by the coating portion.   
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the coating portion applies the coating agent to each of the plurality of pile yarns exposed to the bottom surface of the lining in a spray manner in a tufting direction of the plurality of pile yarns.
