Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf Holzimitatbauteile und ein Verfahren zur Herstellung des Holzimitatbauteils.The present invention relates to imitation wood components and a Process for producing the imitation wood component.

Aus Umweltschutzgründen und zur Schonung der natürlichen Ressourcen werden immer mehr Produkte aus natürlich gewachsenem Holz durch Holzimitate ersetzt. Holzimitatprodukte sollen in ihren optischen und haptischen Eigenschaften Echtholzprodukten möglichst nahekommen. Um dies zu erreichen, gibt es eine Vielzahl von Verfahren, die jedoch teilweise einen sehr hohen technischen und finanziellen Aufwand erfordern. Aufgrund dessen liegt die Herstellung von Holzimitaterzeugnissen häufig in den Händen von Spezialfirmen, die diese Produkte dann als Halbfertigprodukte an weiterverarbeitende Unternehmen liefern. Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung soll ein Erzeugnis bereitgestellt werden, dessen optische und haptische Eigenschaften denen von Echtholz sehr nahekommen, dabei aber einfach herzustellen und kostengünstig ist.For environmental reasons and to conserve natural resources More and more products made from naturally grown wood are made using imitations of wood replaced. Imitation wood products are supposed to be in their optical and haptic Properties as close as possible to real wood products. To achieve this, There are a variety of methods, some of which are very high require technical and financial effort. Because of this, the Manufacture of imitation wood often in the hands of specialist companies, who then process these products as semi-finished products Deliver companies. The present invention is intended to be a product are provided, the optical and haptic properties of those of Real wood come very close, but is easy to manufacture and inexpensive.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird das Holzimitatbauteil durch ein Verfahren mit den im folgenden beschriebenen Schritten hergestellt. Zuerst wird ein Ausgangsbauteil mit einer zu bearbeitenden Oberfläche bereitgestellt, auf die eine Haftschicht aufgetragen wird. Nach dem Trocknen der Haftschicht wird wenigstens eine Lackschicht aus Holzfarbe auf der Haftschicht aufgetragen und verteilt, indem ein Textilstoff verwendet wird, um eine optische Struktur wie Holz zu erzeugen. Nach dem Trocknen der Lackschicht wird eine Schutzschicht aufgetragen, die wiederum trocknen muß. Mit diesem Verfahren entsteht ein Bauteil, dessen optische und haptische Eigenschaften dem von natürlichen Holz täuschend ähnlich sind. Auf die Benutzung von Echtholzteilen kann damit verzichtet werden, was zu einer Reduzierung des Holzverbrauchs und damit zu einer Schonung der natürlichen Ressourcen führt.According to the invention, the imitation wood component is produced by a method with the manufactured steps described below. First, an output component provided with a surface to be machined, on which an adhesive layer is applied. After drying the adhesive layer at least one Lacquer layer of wood paint applied to the adhesive layer and distributed by a Textile fabric is used to create an optical structure like wood. To a protective layer is applied after drying the lacquer layer again has to dry. This process creates a component whose optical and haptic properties deceptive of natural wood are similar. The use of real wood parts can thus be dispensed with become, which leads to a reduction in wood consumption and thus to a Conservation of natural resources leads.

Als Ausgangsbauteil für dieses Verfahren eignen sich grundsätzliche alle Bauteile mit Kunststoff- oder Metalloberflächen.In principle, all are suitable as starting components for this process Components with plastic or metal surfaces.

Das Verfahren zur Herstellung des Holzimitatbauteils besteht aus aufeinanderfolgenden Schritten des Aufbringens, des Verteilens und des Trocknens verschiedener Lackschichten. Da Lackierverfahren in vielen Produktionsbereichen bereits existieren, ist es leicht möglich, das Verfahren zur Herstellung der Holzimitatbauteile in bestehende Prozeßabläufe im eigenen Unternehmen zu integrieren Damit kann auf die Zulieferung von Holzimitatbauteilen durch Spezialunternehmen verzichtet werden, wodurch die Abhängigkeit von der Zulieferindustrie reduziert und insgesamt eine raschere Fertigung möglich wird.The process for producing the imitation wood component consists of successive steps of applying, distributing and dispensing Drying different layers of paint. Because painting processes in many Production areas already exist, it is easily possible to use the process Manufacture of imitation wood components in existing processes in our own Integrate companies so that the supply of Imitation wood components can be dispensed with by specialist companies, which means that Dependence on the supplier industry is reduced and overall a faster one Manufacturing becomes possible.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform erfolgt das Auftragen und Verteilen der Lackschicht auf der Haftschicht in zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Schritten, wobei der erste Schritt das Auftragen der Lackschicht auf die Haftschicht und der zweite Schritt das Verteilen der Lackschicht unter Verwendung des Textilstoffs ist. So kann die Lackschicht beispielsweise durch herkömmliche Spritzverfahren aufgetragen werden und dann unter Verwendung des entsprechend strukturierten Textilstoffs, z.B. eines Tuches, unter Erzeugung einer holzähnlichen Oberfläche verteilt werden.In a preferred embodiment, the application and distribution takes place the lacquer layer on the adhesive layer in two successive steps, the first step being the application of the lacquer layer to the adhesive layer and the second step spreading the varnish layer using the textile is. For example, the lacquer layer can be applied using conventional spraying methods applied and then using the appropriately structured Fabric, e.g. a cloth, creating a wood-like surface be distributed.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform erfolgt das Aufbringen und Verteilen der Lackschicht auf der Haftschicht in einem Schritt, wobei mittels des Textilstoffs Lack auf die Haftschicht aufgetragen wird. In diesem Fall wird einem geeignet strukturierten Textilstoff Lack über ein geeignetes Verteilungssystem zugeführt und dieser durch ein geeignetes Verfahren, wie z.B. Auftupfen auf die Haftschicht aufgetragen. Der Vorteil dieses Verfahrens besteht darin, daß hier nur ein Arbeitsgang nötig ist, und damit eine weitere Zeitersparnis erreicht wird.In a further preferred embodiment, the application and Distribute the paint layer on the adhesive layer in one step, using Textile varnish is applied to the adhesive layer. In this case one suitably structured textile varnish via a suitable distribution system supplied and this by a suitable method, such as. Dab on the Adhesive layer applied. The advantage of this method is that here only one work step is necessary, and thus further time savings are achieved.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Holzimitatbauteile können insbesondere bei der Kraftfahrzeugherstellung eingesetzt werden. So werden Lenkräder, Abdeckkappen, Airbagmodule, Blenden und Verkleidungen aller Art in hochwertigen Kraftfahrzeugen häufig in einer Holzoptik geliefert.The imitation wood components according to the invention can in particular in the Motor vehicle manufacturing can be used. So steering wheels, cover caps, Airbag modules, covers and covers of all kinds in high quality Motor vehicles often delivered in a wood look.

Einen Spezialfall stellen vor allem Holzlenkräder dar. Aufgrund der kleinen Krümmungsradien der Oberflächen eines Lenkrads ist der Aufwand für die Herstellung einer Holzoberfläche bei diesen Elementen besonders groß. In der Regel werden laminierte und gefräste Holzschalen hergestellt, die dann auf den Lenkradkörper aufgebracht und an diesem befestigt werden müssen.Wooden steering wheels are a special case. Because of the small Radii of curvature of the surfaces of a steering wheel is the effort for the Production of a wooden surface with these elements is particularly large. In the Laminated and milled wooden shells are usually produced, which are then placed on the Steering wheel body applied and attached to this.
