Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a molded plastic part with external grained surface.
- the interior trim of motor vehicles (and more particularly that of dashboards and doors) is generally provided by large plastic cladding elements comprising a rigid support conferring their shape and skin lining grained defining the outer surface of appearance (including color, texture and feel).
- This skin colored in the mass and reproducing for example the appearance of leather or a geometric pattern, must also have good resistance to external aggressions it may suffer (scratches, exposure to chemical agents such as solvents, UV radiation , temperature variations, etc.).
- such a covering element also comprises a layer of plastic foam interposed between the skin of coating and the rigid support to provide properties of flexibility and sound and heat insulation.
- the skin When such a layer of foam is present, the skin must be made independently of the rigid support, in a compatible material on the one hand with the foam subsequently injected between the skin and the support, and on the other hand with the finishing lacquers deposited on the outer surface of this same skin.
- the skin is for example obtained by a "slush-molding" process of depositing, on a matrix covered with a layer of nickel applied by electroplating and preheated, thermoplastic elastomer powder (TPE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) which, in contact with the hot surface of the matrix, will melt and cover it.
- TPE thermoplastic elastomer powder
- PVC polyvinyl chloride
- the deck fittings intended to be attached to these load-bearing panels are produced by a conventional method of injecting a thermoplastic resin made of polypropylene ( PP) or ethylene / propylene (P / E) copolymer in a chemically grained steel mold.
- PP polypropylene
- P / E ethylene / propylene
- DE 102006024263 A1 discloses a method of manufacturing a multilayer molded body in which a sheet made of a thermoplastic elastomer film applied to a textile is positioned against the matrix of a mold having a decorative pattern grained in negative.
- the molding cavity of the mold is then closed and a plastic polymer is injected into this cavity so that the thermoplastic film is compressed against the grained matrix and deforms due to the heat transmitted by the injected material by adopting the decorative pattern.
- the invention therefore aims to improve the level of perceived quality of plastic fittings to be reported for example on dashboards or door panels of a motor vehicle.
- thermoplastic polymer into a molding cavity delimited by a punch and a first matrix so as to constitute a rigid support
- the method according to the invention makes it possible to achieve, for a particularly reasonable investment and cost price, interior trim elements for a motor vehicle, and in particular for fittings for a dashboard carrying panel or interior door trim whose skin coating has a graining quality identical or at least very similar to that of the coating skin of such a carrier panel obtained by a much more expensive process such as "slush-molding" or PU spray.
- This graining quality thus makes it possible to obtain a visual homogeneity of appearance on the entire dashboard or interior door trim.
- said first thermoplastic polymer injected into said molding cavity to constitute said rigid support is chosen from polypropylene (PP), ethylene / propylene copolymer (P / E), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), or a mixture of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and polycarbonate (ABS / PC);
- thermoplastic polymer is reinforced in natural or synthetic fillers
- said first and second dies are made in the same metal block pivoted at 180 °;
- thermoplastic elastomer such as, for example, a thermoplastic copolyester (TPE-E), a thermoplastic olefin (TPE-O), a thermoplastic polyurethane ( TPE-U) or a styrene block copolymer (TPE-S);
- said step of injecting a second polymer is carried out according to a reaction injection molding technique; said second polymer injected into said overmoulding cavity to constitute said grained coating skin is polyurethane (PU); and or
- said first matrix partially delimiting said molding cavity is chemically grained or electro-erosion so as to improve the mechanical strength of said grained coating skin on said support;
- the invention also aims, in a second aspect, with a deck hardware component for a dashboard or interior door trim panel obtained by such a method.
- said support has a thickness of between 1 and 5 mm, while that of said skin of coating is between 0.5 and 3 mm.
- FIG. 1 shows a flow chart of the method according to the invention for manufacturing a multilayer molded body with textured outer surface
- FIGS. 2A to 2C illustrate the different stages of implementation of the method according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 shows a sectional view of a molded part obtained by the method according to the invention.
- FIG. 2A illustrates a first step 100 of this method during which a first thermoplastic polymer is injected under pressure and under hot conditions via an injection molding machine not shown in a molding cavity CM delimited by a punch P and a first steel matrix Mi, so as to constitute a rigid support S.
- Such an injection molding machine conventionally comprises a hopper for collecting thermoplastic resin granules and a heated motorized auger via which the granules coming from the hopper are conveyed in the form of an injectable viscous fluid. to an injection head fluidically connected to at least one nozzle B M formed in the punch P and opening into the mold cavity CM.
- the first thermoplastic polymer constituting the rigid support is preferably chosen from polypropylene (PP), ethylene / propylene copolymer (P / E), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), or a mixture of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and polycarbonate (ABS / PC).
- PP polypropylene
- P / E ethylene / propylene copolymer
- ABS acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
- PC polycarbonate
- this first thermoplastic polymer is advantageously reinforced in natural or synthetic fillers (for example lamellar mineral fillers such as talc or micro-fibrils and nano-mineral fibrils such as glass fibers etc.), for example up to 10 to 35% by weight.
- natural or synthetic fillers for example lamellar mineral fillers such as talc or micro-fibrils and nano-mineral fibrils such as glass fibers etc.
- the surface of this second matrix M 2 has a decorative pattern D grained negative by direct laser incision and imitating, for example, the surface appearance of the leather or carbon.
- This technique of graining by a laser beam directly eroding the surface of the matrix M 2 and whose path is managed by a numerically controlled five-axis machine, allows to produce complex textures with a great fineness of detail and in a reproducible way.
- the first and the second matrix Mi, M 2 are hollowed out of the same steel block pivoted 180 ° so as to simplify the mechanism for moving these matrices (a single arm associated with a jack can then ensure closing or opening of these two matrices).
- a second polymer is then injected under heat and under pressure into the overmolding cavity CSM (step 300) so as to constitute a skin of coating R overmolded against the support S and having a grained external surface reproducing the decorative pattern D.
- This second injection step is performed via a second injection molding machine, the injection head of which is fluidly connected to at least one nozzle B S M formed in the punch P and opening into the overmoulding cavity CSM.
- the second polymer constituting the grained coating skin R is advantageously a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) such as for example a thermoplastic copolyester (TPE-E), a thermoplastic olefin (TPE-O), a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPE-U) or a styrene block copolymer (TPE-S) such as SEBS, this family of polymers having good resistance to abrasion and can be easily tinted.
- TPE thermoplastic elastomer
- TPE-E thermoplastic copolyester
- TPE-O thermoplastic olefin
- TPE-U thermoplastic polyurethane
- SEBS styrene block copolymer
- the second injection step may also be carried out using a reaction injection molding technique (better known by the term “reaction injection molding” or "RIM").
- This known technique consists in injecting into a molding cavity (in this case the overmoulding cavity) and via a mixing and injection head a mixture of two liquid components coming from two separate feed units and possibly associated with additives (such as, for example, a surfactant, a catalyst and / or a foaming agent). When in contact just prior to injection into the cavity, these two components chemically react exothermically with each other to form a polymer in liquid or foamed form.
- additives such as, for example, a surfactant, a catalyst and / or a foaming agent
- This chemical reaction also causes a significant increase in the pressure inside the cavity that pushes the polymer into all parts of the mold cavity.
- the chemical reaction will form polyurethane in the form of foam which will be injected into the overmoulding cavity CSM to form the grained skin coating R.
- the second die M 2 is removed and the workpiece is ejected from the mold (step 400).
- the support S will have a thickness of between 1 and 5 mm, while that of the skin of coating R will be between 0.5 and 3 mm.
- the table below shows several examples of pairs of polymers that can be combined to form such a molded external surface molded part.
- the first matrix Mi partially delimiting the molding cavity CM is advantageously chemically grained or by electro-erosion ("Electric Discharge Machining" in English).
