Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a press cushion according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the present application comprises a press plate set according to the preamble of claim 7.
- the hydraulic heating press system can in particular be designed in the form of a hydraulic multi-opening heating press.
- Press cushions are used in a hot press system to bring about an even distribution of force between a hydraulically driven hot press and a press plate that comes into direct contact with a respective pressed part.
- the press plate has a designed surface that has a press relief. This press relief is pressed or pressed into a surface of the respective pressed part in the course of a pressing process, so that a negative of the press relief results, so to speak, in the surface of the pressed part.
- the compact has a soft consistency at least in the area of its surface, the compact typically comprising a melamine resin layer. This soft consistency enables the press relief of the press plate to be pressed into the pressed part, with the soft material of the pressed part giving way and being locally compressed.
- the compact is finally cured to such an extent that the pressed-in surface structure, which corresponds to the negative of the structure of the press relief, remains permanently.
- the press cushion serves to transfer the pressing pressure from the heating press to the press plate in a uniform manner.
- a press pad which compensate for thickness tolerances and which may be required differently Thermal conductivity should be taken into account.
- the final crosslinking of the known press cushion should take place in a first pressing process in the press.
- press pad is from DE 35 16 645 C2 known, wherein the press pad is to apply a plastic film true to the contour on a structured surface of a wooden panel. Accordingly, the press pad has corresponding thickenings at indentations in the wooden panel, so that the plastic film to be applied reliably comes into contact with the surface at the indentation.
- a press cushion known, which should be optimized with regard to the compensation of thickness tolerances and temperature differences within the press system.
- a support fabric made of metallic metal threads is printed with a cushion layer made of silicone using a 3D printing process, taking into account the thickness tolerances of the press system, press plates and wood-based panels. Compensating for the thickness tolerances is intended to ensure that there is a faster and more even heat flow through the heating plate and material to be pressed.
- the object of the present application is to provide a method for producing a press cushion with which press cushions which are improved compared to the prior art can be produced.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a press plate set which is improved over the prior art.
- the method according to the invention is characterized by the step that, depending on the press relief, material is applied to the fabric at least at one point on at least one side of the press cushion, the point corresponding to a high area of the press relief so that the press cushion is thickened at the point .
- the method according to the invention has many advantages.
- it enables the production of a press cushion, by means of which reliable force transmission to the respective press plate is ensured in the course of a pressing process, since the press cushion is individually adapted to the design of the press plate or the structure of the associated press relief.
- the material applied to the fabric is particularly suitable for individually adapting a thickness of the press pad to a respective press sheet which is designed with a specific press relief.
- the press pad individually tailored to the respective press sheet can be provided with the applied material at a point corresponding to the high area of the press sheet, by means of which the thickness of the fabric of the press pad is increased accordingly.
- This thickening has the technical effect that the press pad is less compressible than this in an effective area of the thickening that corresponds to the local high area of the press relief in the presence of a reaction force that occurs as a result of the increased resistance in the course of pressing the press sheet into the pressed part would be the case without the thickening. This will ensure that the with the high range formed structure of the press relief is reliably fully pressed into the compact and as a result the desired surface structure of the compact is formed.
- the press pad has a low thermal conductivity in the area of the thickening.
- This has the technical effect that the thermal energy made available by means of the heating press is not transferred to the press plate in the same way as in a situation in which the thickening would not be present.
- the heat transfer between the heating press and the press plate is "braked" by means of the thickening.
- This has the particular advantage that the material of the surface layer of the pressed part hardens less quickly in the effective area of the thickening and consequently more time is available in which the material can evade the high area of the structure of the press relief of the pressed sheet metal.
- the material i.e. the printing medium
- the material can be a self-curing or radiation-curing material.
- additives can be added to the printing medium, which further reduce the thermal conductivity and / or increase the compressive strength.
- the thickening at the useful temperature i.e. when the hot press system is in operation, corresponds exactly to the high area of the press relief. Accordingly, the various thermal expansions of the press cushion and the press plate at the useful temperature are taken into account during the production of the press cushion, so that the press cushion does not correspond optimally to the press sheet at room temperature, but does at the useful temperature.
- the press pad is provided with a large number of thickenings, the thickenings preferably being linear. This allows the impression of joints to be created in the compact.
- the application of material is carried out differently at different points of the fabric, so that local thicknesses of the press pad are different for different thickenings.
- This is advantageous insofar as an equally irregular design of a structure by means of an irregular distribution a press relief of a press plate can be modeled, so that the thickenings act precisely in those areas of the press cushion in which an effect is desired and necessary in view of the design of the press relief of the press plate.
- material is applied to the fabric on both sides of the press cushion, with at least one application of material preferably taking place for both sides at the same point of the fabric.
- the material is applied by means of material printing, in particular by means of a 3D printer or by means of screen printing.
- material printing By means of a material print, even complex press reliefs can be reproduced in great detail, so that the quality of the press cushion produced and thus also the quality of the processed compact are optimized.
- material printing partial printing can take place so that the material is actually applied only in areas in which a thickening of the press cushion is desired. Accordingly, there is currently no full-surface application.
- the application of material by means of a material print also has the advantage that it can take place automatically, with, for example, a printer head being movable in a plane parallel to a surface of the press cushion and in this way being able to apply material to the press cushion at predetermined locations. Such an order is also possible with particular precision.
- the material is formed from a rubber, in particular a silicone rubber, which after its application is crosslinked to form an elastomer by means of a UV radiator.
- Rubber, in particular silicone rubber is particularly well suited to ensure the necessary elasticity of the press pad, with the low thermal conductivity of the elastomeric material also preventing excessive transfer of thermal energy from the heating press to the press plate.
- the press sheet set comprises at least one press sheet and at least one press pad assigned to the press sheet, the press sheet having a press relief provided with a structure which has a plurality of raised areas protruding over a press sheet plane, the press pad comprising a fabric that extends from in a warp direction Warp threads and weft threads running in a weft direction is formed.
- the press plate set is characterized in that the press pad has a thickening on at least one side at at least one point that corresponds to a high area of the press plate, the thickening being formed by material applied to the fabric.
- the press plate set according to the invention can be produced particularly easily by means of the method according to the invention.
- the advantages of the press plate set according to the invention result analogously to the advantages which are given with regard to the method described above.
- the press pad is designed to be thickened in high areas of the structure of the press relief by means of the application of material, so that the reaction forces acting at these points or in these areas of the press plate can be reliably applied in the course of the pressing process.
- the press plate with its respective high area is pressed completely into the compact, so that the desired surface structure is established in the compact.
- the press pad has a lower thermal conductivity in the area of the thickening, so that the heat transfer between the heating press and the press plate is reduced in the area of the thickening.
- the material of the surface layer of the compact hardens less quickly in the area of the thickening and has more time to evade the high area of the structure of the press relief of the press plate.
- the material is formed from an elastomer, preferably a silicone elastomer.
- the press pad has particularly good elasticity and low thermal conductivity in the area of the thickening.
- the press pad preferably has a plurality of thickenings, so that a respective press pad according to the invention can be individually adapted to the design of a respective press sheet or a respective surface structure of a pressed part.
- the press plate set according to the invention it is provided that at least two thickenings have different widths and / or lengths. This allows individual press reliefs to be reproduced on the press pad.
- the thickenings can in particular be strip-shaped.
- At least one thickening - viewed in the cross section of the press pad - is rounded on at least one edge, preferably on both opposing edges, the thickness of the press pad preferably starting from an area in which there is no thickening steadily increases to a high point of thickening.
- no stress peaks form at the said edge as would be the case with a sudden increase in thickness in the manner of a step. Rather, in this way, a uniform increase in forces that act on the press pad and on the press plate and the pressed part in the area of the thickened areas is achieved. This has advantages in particular with regard to the longevity of the press cushion.
- the press cushion has at least one thickening on both sides, preferably at least two thickenings, one of which is assigned to one of the sides of the press cushion, being arranged at the same point of the press cushion. It is thus possible to depict a particularly high high area of the desired press relief.
- FIG. 1 An embodiment that is in the Figures 1 to 7 is shown relates to a press plate set 1 according to the invention, which is installed in a hot press system 2 for processing a pressed part 3 .
- the press plate set 1 comprises a press plate 4 and a press pad 5 , the press pad 5 being formed by a fabric 6 .
- the press pad 5 is arranged between a heating press 7 of the heating press system 2 and the press plate 4 , so that a force is transmitted between the heating press 7 and the press plate 4 by means of the press pad 5 .
- the press pad 5 serves to equalize the forces between the heating press 7 and the press plate 4 so that the pressure force provided by the heating press 7 is evenly applied to the press plate 4 over its surface.
- the press plate 4 has a press relief 8 , by means of which a surface structure 9 can be pressed into the pressed part 3 .
- the press relief 8 is typically etched into the surface of the associated press plate 4 , so that a designed surface structure is established.
- Figures 2 and 3 it is illustrated how the design of a surface structure 9 of a compact 3 can be formed, wherein the design of the press relief 8 of an associated press plate 4 must follow this desired design. This is due to the fact that the surface structure 9 is solely due to the design of the press relief 8 , which to a certain extent represents a negative of the surface structure 9 .
- the press relief 8 of the press plate 4 is pressed into a surface layer of the compact 3 in the course of the pressing process by means of the hot press system 2 , so that depressions are formed in the surface layer of the compact 3 that are complementary to the elevations of the press relief 8 .
- the surface structure 9 of the respective pressed part 3 has depressions of different characteristics.
- it is of interest to produce particularly deep impressions in the respective pressed part 3 since these would be equally present in a corresponding natural material.
- a deep one Pressing-in the compact 3 requires vice versa in the pressing relief 8 of the pressing plate 4, a high-range 10. In such a high range 10 the press relief 8 is comparatively far over a press plate plane of the pressing plate 4 before.
- the pressing of such high areas 10 into the surface layer of a respective pressed part 3 requires a comparatively high pressing force which is to be transmitted to the pressing plate 4 .
- the reaction force caused by the surface layer, which acts on the press plate 4 can lead to the press cushion 5 being slightly deformed in the course of a pressing process, so that the high areas 10 are not pressed into the surface layer in the same way as in areas of the press relief 8 that are less pronounced or lower in height.
- This has the effect that the surface structure 9 of the finished compact 3 is not designed in the desired way according to the estimated design, since areas of the compact 3 that should have comparatively deep indentations are not designed as desired.
- the press cushion 5 is provided according to the invention with a thickening 11 which corresponds to the high area 10 of the press plate 4 .
- the thickening 11 is formed by material 12 applied to the fabric 6 , which material serves to increase a local thickness 13 of the fabric 6 .
- the material 12 is a silicone elastomer.
- the tissue 6 is consequently less compressible, as a result of which a local deflection of the press pad 5 in the direction of the heating press 7 is locally prevented in the manner described above.
- the pressing plate 4 is reliably pressed into the pressed part 3 even in those areas of the press plate 4 in which the structure of the press relief 8 has corresponding high areas 10 .
- FIG. 1 shows, by way of example, in which areas the surface structure 9 of the respective compact 3 is designed to be particularly deep and how effective areas 14 for thickened areas 11 are provided correspondingly individually to the press pad 5 adapted to the design.
- the example according to Figure 3 relates to a compact 3 which is formed with a plurality of joints 16 .
- individual pressing elements which are separated from one another by means of the joints 16 , are produced in a single pressing process.
- the associated press plate 4 has particularly pronounced raised areas 10 , which are suitable for pressing in at least the surface layer of the compact 3 so deep that the finished compact 3 has the corresponding joints 16 in the form of particularly pronounced depressions.
- the finished compact 3 can then be sawed, for example, along these joints 16 , so that the individual pressing elements result.
- a press pad 5 of the press sheet set 1 according to the invention which is adapted to the associated press sheet 4 , therefore appropriately had thickened areas 11 in effective areas 14 , which are locally arranged on the press pad 5 at locations that coincide with the high areas 10 of the press sheet 4 , which in turn are responsible for the design of the joints 16 in the compact 3 .
- the fabric 6 of a respective press pad 5 is fundamentally individually tailored to the design of a respective press plate 4 or the desired design of a surface structure 9 of a respective pressed part 3 , the press plate 4 and the associated press cushion 5 together forming a functional unit in which the advantageous effect of the thickenings 11 is achieved only in combination with the individually associated press plate 4 .
- the press plate 4 and the press pad 5 are also preferably connected to one another in a force-transmitting manner, so that relative movements between the two components are at least substantially prevented at least in the direction of the plane of the press plate.
- a fabric 6 according to the invention which is shown in Figure 4 is shown is formed in a known manner from warp threads 17 and weft threads 18 which are interwoven.
- the fabric 6 has a plurality of strip-shaped thickenings 11 , part of the thickenings 11 being oriented in a warp direction and the other part of the thickening 11 being oriented in the weft direction of the fabric 6 .
- This achieves the effect that the thickness 13 of the fabric 6 in the effective area 14 of the thickenings 11 is increased compared to the thickness 15 of the fabric 6 , which the latter has outside the effective area 14 .
- This is in Figure 5 illustrated.
- the cross-section through the fabric 6 shown schematically there is contrasted with a local section of an associated press plate 4 with an individual press relief 8 which has a raised area 10 .
- the thickenings 11 are arranged individually adapted to the press relief 8 that the effective area 14 in which the thickenings 11 bring about the desired increase in the thickness 13 of the fabric 6 coincides with the high region 10 of the press relief 8 .
- the press pad 5 in precisely this area of the press plate 4 , in which the greatest resistance to the desired pressing into the surface layer of the pressed part 3 is to be expected in the course of a pressing process, is less compressible, so that the press pad 5 deflects in the direction of the heating press 7 due to the reaction force is counteracted.
- the press pad 5 has a temperature-inhibiting effect in the area of its thickened areas 11 .
- FIG. 6 to 10 further embodiments of press sheet metal sets 1 according to the invention are shown, the press reliefs 8 and thus also the formation of the thickenings 11 varying.
- the Figure 6 shows an example in which two differently designed thickenings 11 are implemented, which are adapted in accordance with the high areas 10 of the press plate 4 .
- the in the Figure 6 Thickening 11 shown on the left is less thick than that in FIG Figure 6 Thickening 11 shown on the right, which is due to the differently pronounced high areas 10 of the press relief 8 .
- the press plate set 1 shown also has two raised areas 10 of different heights, the thickening 11, which depicts the more developed high area 10 , being divided into a thickening 11 on a side facing the press plate 4 and a thickening 11 on a side facing away from the press plate 4 . Accordingly, 5 material 12 is applied to both sides of the fabric 6 of the press pad. In this way, the thickening 11 of greater thickness is produced by an additional application of material 12 on the side facing away from the press plate 4 , while the two adjacent thickenings 11 on the side facing the press plate 4 have the same thickness.
- FIG Figure 8 Another example of a press plate set 1 according to the invention is shown in FIG Figure 8 shown, wherein the press relief 8 the press relief 8 in accordance with Figure 7 corresponds.
- the thickenings 11 in the press plate set 1 in Figure 8 each rounded at the edges 19 , which means that the edges 19 are designed in the manner of a ramp and there is no sudden increase in the thickness of the press pad 5 , but a continuous increase in thickness.
- press cushions 5 shown therein having a fabric 6 which is embedded in a material 20 in such a way that the press cushion 5 - apart from the thickenings 11 - has an at least substantially flat surface.
- the press cushions 5 are provided with the thickenings 11 adapted to the press relief 8 .
- the material 12 which is applied to the fabric 6 of the press pad 5 for the purpose of creating the thickenings 11 , is formed from a silicone elastomer which is applied to the fabric 6 by means of a material printer, which is formed here by a 3D printer.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Presspolsters gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1. Ferner umfasst die vorliegende Anmeldung ein Pressblechset nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 7.The present invention relates to a method for producing a press cushion according to the preamble of
Die hydraulische Heizpressanlage kann insbesondere in Form einer hydraulischen Mehretagenheizpresse ausgebildet sein.The hydraulic heating press system can in particular be designed in the form of a hydraulic multi-opening heating press.
Presspolster dienen dazu, in einer Heizpressanlage eine gleichmäßige Kraftverteilung zwischen einer hydraulisch angetriebenen Heizpresse und einem Pressblech zu bewirken, das in unmittelbaren Kontakt mit einem jeweiligen Pressling tritt. Das Pressblech weist in aller Regel eine gestaltete Oberfläche auf, die ein Pressrelief aufweist. Dieses Pressrelief wird im Zuge eines Pressvorgangs in eine Oberfläche des jeweiligen Presslings eingedrückt bzw. eingepresst, sodass sich in der Oberfläche des Presslings gewissermaßen ein Negativ des Pressreliefs ergibt. Der Pressling weist im Moment des Pressvorgangs zumindest im Bereich seiner Oberfläche eine weiche Konsistenz auf, wobei der Pressling typischerweise eine Melaminharzschicht umfasst. Diese weiche Konsistenz ermöglicht es, dass das Pressrelief des Pressblechs in den Pressling eingedrückt werden kann, wobei das weiche Material des Presslings ausweicht und lokal verdichtet wird.Press cushions are used in a hot press system to bring about an even distribution of force between a hydraulically driven hot press and a press plate that comes into direct contact with a respective pressed part. As a rule, the press plate has a designed surface that has a press relief. This press relief is pressed or pressed into a surface of the respective pressed part in the course of a pressing process, so that a negative of the press relief results, so to speak, in the surface of the pressed part. At the moment of the pressing process, the compact has a soft consistency at least in the area of its surface, the compact typically comprising a melamine resin layer. This soft consistency enables the press relief of the press plate to be pressed into the pressed part, with the soft material of the pressed part giving way and being locally compressed.
Infolge mittels der Heizpresse in den Pressling eingetragener Wärmeenergie wird der Pressling schließlich so weit ausgehärtet, dass die eingepresste Oberflächenstruktur, die dem Negativ der Struktur des Pressreliefs entspricht, dauerhaft bestehen bleibt. Um die Oberfläche des Presslings gleichmäßig und somit optisch ansprechend zu gestalten, ist es von Bedeutung, dass der mittels der Heizpressanlage aufgebrachte Pressdruck gleichmäßig auf das Pressblech und schließlich auf den Pressling übertragen wird. Wie vorstehend ausgeführt, dient das Presspolster dazu, den Pressdruck von der Heizpresse vergleichmäßigt auf das Pressblech zu übertragen.As a result of the thermal energy introduced into the compact by means of the heating press, the compact is finally cured to such an extent that the pressed-in surface structure, which corresponds to the negative of the structure of the press relief, remains permanently. In order to make the surface of the compact uniform and thus visually appealing, it is important that the pressing pressure applied by means of the hot press system is uniformly transferred to the press plate and finally to the compact. As stated above, the press cushion serves to transfer the pressing pressure from the heating press to the press plate in a uniform manner.

Die Fertigungsqualität künstlich gestalteter Oberflächenstrukturen von Presslingen, die insbesondere natürliche Holzmaserungen und Holzoberflächenstrukturen nachbilden können, wurde in den letzten Jahren deutlich erhöht. Dies liegt insbesondere darin begründet, dass Prägetiefen, die in den Pressling eingebracht werden, zugenommen haben, sodass die Nachbildung natürlicher Oberflächenstrukturen erfolgreich verbessert werden konnte. Das Einbringen solcher mit hohen Prägetiefen versehener tiefer Oberflächenstrukturen verlangt die Verwendung von Pressblechen, deren Pressreliefs besonders ausgeprägt sind und mit Hochbereichen ausgestattet sind, deren senkrecht zu einer Pressblechebene gemessene sowie auf die Pressblechebene bezogene Höhe einer gewünschte Tiefe der jeweiligen lokalen Oberflächenstruktur des Presslings entspricht. Dabei versteht es sich, dass die Einbringung einer besonders tiefen lokalen Oberflächenstruktur in den jeweiligen Pressling umgekehrt analog eines besonders hohen Hochbereichs des Pressreliefs des Pressblechs bedarf. Das Einpressen eines derartigen Pressblechs, das ein mit solchen Hochbereichen versehenes Pressrelief aufweist, in einen jeweiligen Pressling führt dazu, dass der Widerstand, der in Form einer Reaktionskraft auf das Pressblech wirkt, sich über die Fläche des Pressblechs hinweg lokal stark unterschiedlich ergibt. Somit verlangt das Einpressen eines Hochbereichs in die Oberfläche des Presslings eine größere Kraft als das Einpressen einer kaum gegenüber der Pressblechebene hervorstehenden Struktur des Pressreliefs. In der Praxis hat dies zur Folge, dass die notwendige Kraft, der es zur vollständigen Einpressung auch der Hochbereiche des Pressreliefs in den Pressling bedarf, nicht zuverlässig auf das Pressblech übertragen werden kann.The production quality of artificially designed surface structures of pellets, which can in particular reproduce natural wood grain and wood surface structures, has increased significantly in recent years. This is due in particular to the fact that embossing depths that are introduced into the compact have increased so that the reproduction of natural surface structures could be successfully improved. The introduction of such deep surface structures with high embossing depths requires the use of press plates, the press reliefs of which are particularly pronounced and are equipped with raised areas, the height of which, measured perpendicular to a press plate plane and related to the press plate plane, corresponds to a desired depth of the respective local surface structure of the pressed part. It goes without saying that the introduction of a particularly deep local surface structure in the respective compact, conversely, analogously, requires a particularly high high area of the press relief of the press plate. Pressing such a press plate, which has a press relief provided with such high areas, into a respective pressed part has the result that the resistance, which acts in the form of a reaction force on the press plate, is very different locally across the surface of the press plate. Pressing a high area into the surface of the compact therefore requires a greater force than pressing a structure of the press relief that hardly protrudes from the plane of the press plate. In practice, this means that the necessary force that is required for complete press-in is also the Requires high areas of the press relief in the pressed part, cannot be reliably transferred to the press plate.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Anmeldung ist es, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Presspolsters bereit zu stellen, mit dem gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbesserte Presspolster herstellbar sind. Ferner besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, ein Pressblechset bereitzustellen, das gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbessert ist.The object of the present application is to provide a method for producing a press cushion with which press cushions which are improved compared to the prior art can be produced. A further object of the present invention is to provide a press plate set which is improved over the prior art.
Die zugrunde liegende Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mittels eines Verfahrens zur Herstellung eines Presspolsters mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 6.The underlying object is achieved according to the invention by means of a method for producing a press cushion with the features of
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ist durch den Verfahrensschritt gekennzeichnet, dass in Abhängigkeit des Pressreliefs auf zumindest einer Seite des Presspolsters zumindest an einer Stelle Material auf das Gewebe aufgetragen wird, wobei die Stelle mit einem Hochbereich des Pressreliefs korrespondiert, sodass das Presspolster an der Stelle eine Verdickung erhält.The method according to the invention is characterized by the step that, depending on the press relief, material is applied to the fabric at least at one point on at least one side of the press cushion, the point corresponding to a high area of the press relief so that the press cushion is thickened at the point .
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren hat viele Vorteile. Insbesondere ermöglicht es die Herstellung eines Presspolsters, mittels dessen im Zuge eines Pressvorgangs eine zuverlässige Kraftübertragung auf das jeweilige Pressblech sichergestellt ist, da das Presspolster individuell an die Gestaltung des Pressblechs bzw. der Struktur des zugehörigen Pressreliefs angepasst ist. Das auf das Gewebe aufgetragene Material ist insbesondere dazu geeignet, eine Dicke des Presspolsters individuell an ein jeweiliges Pressblech, das mit einem bestimmten Pressrelief gestaltet ist, anzupassen. Somit kann beispielsweise an einer Stelle eines Pressblechs, dessen Pressrelief lokal einen besonders ausgeprägten Hochbereich aufweist, das individuell auf das jeweilige Pressblech abgestimmte Presspolster an einer mit dem Hochbereich des Pressblechs korrespondierenden Stelle mit dem aufgetragenen Material versehen sein, mittels dessen die Dicke des Gewebes des Presspolsters entsprechend erhöht wird. Diese Verdickung hat den technischen Effekt, dass das Presspolster in einem mit dem lokalen Hochbereich des Pressreliefs korrespondierenden Wirkungsbereich der Verdickung in Gegenwart einer Reaktionskraft, die infolge des erhöhten Widerstands im Zuge des Einpressens des Pressblechs in den Pressling auftritt, weniger stark kompressibel ist, als dies ohne die Verdickung der Fall wäre. Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, dass die mit dem Hochbereich ausgebildete Struktur des Pressreliefs zuverlässig vollständig in den Pressling eingepresst wird und sich infolgedessen die gewünschte Oberflächenstruktur des Presslings ausbildet.The method according to the invention has many advantages. In particular, it enables the production of a press cushion, by means of which reliable force transmission to the respective press plate is ensured in the course of a pressing process, since the press cushion is individually adapted to the design of the press plate or the structure of the associated press relief. The material applied to the fabric is particularly suitable for individually adapting a thickness of the press pad to a respective press sheet which is designed with a specific press relief. Thus, for example, at a point on a press plate, the press relief of which has a particularly pronounced high area locally, the press pad individually tailored to the respective press sheet can be provided with the applied material at a point corresponding to the high area of the press sheet, by means of which the thickness of the fabric of the press pad is increased accordingly. This thickening has the technical effect that the press pad is less compressible than this in an effective area of the thickening that corresponds to the local high area of the press relief in the presence of a reaction force that occurs as a result of the increased resistance in the course of pressing the press sheet into the pressed part would be the case without the thickening. This will ensure that the with the high range formed structure of the press relief is reliably fully pressed into the compact and as a result the desired surface structure of the compact is formed.
Ein weiterer wesentlicher technischer Vorteil des mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hergestellten Presspolsters besteht darin, dass das Presspolster im Bereich der Verdickung eine geringe Wärmeleitfähigkeit aufweist. Dies hat den technischen Effekt, dass die mittels der Heizpresse zur Verfügung gestellte Wärmeenergie nicht in derselben Weise auf das Pressblech übertragen wird, wie in einer Situation, in der die Verdickung nicht vorhanden wäre. Mit anderen Worten wird mittels der Verdickung die Wärmeübertragung zwischen der Heizpresse und dem Pressblech "gebremst". Dies hat den besonderen Vorteil, dass das Material der Oberflächenschicht des Presslings in dem Wirkungsbereich der Verdickung weniger schnell aushärtet und mithin mehr Zeit zur Verfügung steht, in der das Material dem Hochbereich der Struktur des Pressreliefs des Pressblechs ausweichen kann. Demgegenüber würde eine besonders zügige Aushärtung des Presslings die Einbringung einer besonders tiefen Oberflächenstruktur erschweren, da die Viskosität des Materials des Presslings im Bereich seiner Oberflächenschicht im Zuge des Pressvorgangs besonders schnell ansteigen würde, wodurch wiederum das Eindrücken des jeweiligen Hochbereichs des Pressreliefs in die Oberflächenschicht erschwert würde.Another essential technical advantage of the press pad produced with the method according to the invention is that the press pad has a low thermal conductivity in the area of the thickening. This has the technical effect that the thermal energy made available by means of the heating press is not transferred to the press plate in the same way as in a situation in which the thickening would not be present. In other words, the heat transfer between the heating press and the press plate is "braked" by means of the thickening. This has the particular advantage that the material of the surface layer of the pressed part hardens less quickly in the effective area of the thickening and consequently more time is available in which the material can evade the high area of the structure of the press relief of the pressed sheet metal. In contrast, particularly rapid hardening of the pressed part would make it more difficult to introduce a particularly deep surface structure, since the viscosity of the material of the pressed part in the area of its surface layer would increase particularly quickly in the course of the pressing process, which in turn would make it more difficult to press the respective high area of the press relief into the surface layer .
Bei dem Material, also dem Druckmedium, kann es sich um ein selbsthärtendes oder strahlenhärtendes Material handeln. Ferner können dem Druckmedium Additive zugesetzt werden, die die Wärmeleitfähigkeit weiter verringern und/oder die Druckfestigkeit erhöhen.The material, i.e. the printing medium, can be a self-curing or radiation-curing material. Furthermore, additives can be added to the printing medium, which further reduce the thermal conductivity and / or increase the compressive strength.
Im Hinblick auf die Ausgestaltung der mindestens einen Verdickung, die auf den Hochbereich des Pressblechs abgestimmt ist, ist zu beachten, dass die Verdickung bei Nutztemperatur, also bei Betrieb der Heizpressanlage, genau mit dem Hochbereich des Pressreliefs korrespondiert. Demnach werden bei der Herstellung des Presspolsters die verschiedenen Temperaturausdehnungen des Presspolsters und des Pressblechs bei der Nutztemperatur berücksichtigt, so dass das Presspolster bei Raumtemperatur nicht optimal mit dem Pressblech korrespondiert, wohl aber bei Nutztemperatur.With regard to the design of the at least one thickening that is matched to the high area of the press plate, it should be noted that the thickening at the useful temperature, i.e. when the hot press system is in operation, corresponds exactly to the high area of the press relief. Accordingly, the various thermal expansions of the press cushion and the press plate at the useful temperature are taken into account during the production of the press cushion, so that the press cushion does not correspond optimally to the press sheet at room temperature, but does at the useful temperature.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird das Presspolster mit einer Vielzahl von Verdickungen versehen, wobei die Verdickungen vorzugsweise linienförmig ausgebildet sind. Hierdurch lässt sich im Pressling der Eindruck von Fugen erzeugen.According to an advantageous further development of the invention, the press pad is provided with a large number of thickenings, the thickenings preferably being linear. This allows the impression of joints to be created in the compact.
Vorzugsweise wird der Auftrag von Material an verschiedenen Stellen des Gewebes unterschiedlich vorgenommen, sodass lokale Dicken des Presspolsters bei verschiedenen Verdickungen unterschiedlich sind. Dies ist insofern von Vorteil, als mittels einer unregelmäßigen Verteilung eine gleichermaßen unregelmäßige Gestaltung einer Struktur eines Pressreliefs eines Pressblechs nachempfunden werden kann, sodass die Verdickungen genau in solchen Bereichen des Presspolsters wirken, in denen eine Wirkung in Anbetracht der Gestaltung des Pressreliefs des Pressblechs gewünscht und erforderlich ist. Insbesondere ist es von Vorteil, ein jeweiliges erfindungsgemäßes Presspolster individuell an das Design eines jeweiligen Pressblechs bzw. einer jeweiligen Oberflächenstruktur eines Presslings anzupassen.Preferably, the application of material is carried out differently at different points of the fabric, so that local thicknesses of the press pad are different for different thickenings. This is advantageous insofar as an equally irregular design of a structure by means of an irregular distribution a press relief of a press plate can be modeled, so that the thickenings act precisely in those areas of the press cushion in which an effect is desired and necessary in view of the design of the press relief of the press plate. In particular, it is advantageous to adapt a respective press cushion according to the invention individually to the design of a respective press sheet or a respective surface structure of a pressed part.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren weiter ausgestaltend, wird auf beiden Seiten des Presspolsters Material auf das Gewebe aufgetragen, wobei vorzugsweise mindestens ein Auftrag von Material für beide Seiten an derselben Stelle des Gewebes erfolgt. Hierdurch wird es möglich, besonders große Verdickungen zu erzielen und somit einen besonders hohen Hochbereich des Pressreliefs abzubilden.In further developing the method according to the invention, material is applied to the fabric on both sides of the press cushion, with at least one application of material preferably taking place for both sides at the same point of the fabric. This makes it possible to achieve particularly large thickenings and thus to depict a particularly high high area of the press relief.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird der Auftrag des Materials mittels eines Materialdrucks, insbesondere mittels eines 3D-Druckers oder mittels Siebdrucks, vorgenommen. Mittels eines Materialdrucks lassen sich selbst aufwändige Pressreliefs detailgenau abbilden, so dass die Qualität des hergestellten Presspolsters und somit auch die Qualität des bearbeiteten Presslings optimiert sind. Bei einem Materialdruck kann ein partielles Drucken erfolgen, so dass nur in Bereichen, in denen eine Verdickung des Presspolsters gewünscht ist, auch tatsächlich der Materialauftrag erfolgt. Demnach erfolgt gerade nicht ein vollflächiger Auftrag. Der Auftrag von Material mittels eines Materialdrucks hat zudem den Vorteil, dass er automatisch erfolgen kann, wobei beispielsweise ein Druckerkopf in einer Ebene parallel zu einer Oberfläche des Presspolsters beweglich ist und auf diese Weise an vorgegebenen Stellen Material auf das Presspolster auftragen kann. Ein solcher Auftrag ist zudem besonders genau möglich.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention, the material is applied by means of material printing, in particular by means of a 3D printer or by means of screen printing. By means of a material print, even complex press reliefs can be reproduced in great detail, so that the quality of the press cushion produced and thus also the quality of the processed compact are optimized. In the case of material printing, partial printing can take place so that the material is actually applied only in areas in which a thickening of the press cushion is desired. Accordingly, there is currently no full-surface application. The application of material by means of a material print also has the advantage that it can take place automatically, with, for example, a printer head being movable in a plane parallel to a surface of the press cushion and in this way being able to apply material to the press cushion at predetermined locations. Such an order is also possible with particular precision.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren weiter vorteilhaft ausgestaltend ist das Material von einem Kautschuk, insbesondere einem Silikonkautschuk, gebildet, der nach seinem Auftrag mittels eines UV-Strahlers zu einem Elastomer vernetzt wird. Kautschuk, insbesondere Silikonkautschuk, ist besonders gut geeignet, die notwendige Elastizität des Presspolsters sicherzustellen, wobei zudem die geringe Wärmeleitfähigkeit des elastomeren Materials eine zu schnelle Übertragung von Wärmeenergie von der Heizpresse auf das Pressblech unterbindet.In a further advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention, the material is formed from a rubber, in particular a silicone rubber, which after its application is crosslinked to form an elastomer by means of a UV radiator. Rubber, in particular silicone rubber, is particularly well suited to ensure the necessary elasticity of the press pad, with the low thermal conductivity of the elastomeric material also preventing excessive transfer of thermal energy from the heating press to the press plate.
Die zugrunde liegende Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß ferner mittels eines Pressblechsets mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 7 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen dieses Pressblechsets ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen 8 bis 13.The underlying object is also achieved according to the invention by means of a press plate set with the features of
Das erfindungsgemäße Pressblechset umfasst mindestens ein Pressblech sowie mindestens ein dem Pressblech zugeordnetes Presspolster, wobei das Pressblech ein mit einer Struktur versehenes Pressrelief aufweist, das eine Mehrzahl von über eine Pressblechebene vorstehenden Hochbereichen aufweist, wobei das Presspolster ein Gewebe umfasst, das von in eine Kettrichtung verlaufenden Kettfäden und in eine Schussrichtung verlaufenden Schussfäden gebildet ist. Erfindungsgemäß ist das Pressblechset dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Presspolster auf mindestens einer Seite an mindestens einer Stelle, die mit einem Hochbereich des Pressblechs korrespondiert, eine Verdickung aufweist, wobei die Verdickung von auf das Gewebe aufgetragenem Material gebildet ist.The press sheet set according to the invention comprises at least one press sheet and at least one press pad assigned to the press sheet, the press sheet having a press relief provided with a structure which has a plurality of raised areas protruding over a press sheet plane, the press pad comprising a fabric that extends from in a warp direction Warp threads and weft threads running in a weft direction is formed. According to the invention, the press plate set is characterized in that the press pad has a thickening on at least one side at at least one point that corresponds to a high area of the press plate, the thickening being formed by material applied to the fabric.
Das erfindungsgemäße Pressblechset ist mittels des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens besonders einfach herstellbar. Die Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen Pressblechsets ergeben sich analog zu den Vorteilen, die bezüglich des vorstehend beschriebenen Verfahrens angeführt sind. Insbesondere ist das Presspolster in Hochbereichen der Struktur des Pressreliefs mittels Materialauftrags verdickt ausgebildet, sodass die an diesen Stellen bzw. in diesen Bereichen des Pressblechs wirkenden Reaktionskräfte im Zuge des Pressvorgangs zuverlässig aufgebracht werden können. Im Ergebnis wird das Pressblech mit seinem jeweiligen Hochbereich vollständig in den Pressling eingepresst, sodass sich in dem Pressling die gewünschte Oberflächenstruktur einstellt. Auch ergibt sich der technische Vorteil, dass das Presspolster im Bereich der Verdickung eine geringere Wärmeleitfähigkeit aufweist, so dass im Bereich der Verdickung die Wärmeübertragung zwischen der Heizpresse und dem Pressblech vermindert ist. Im Ergebnis härtet das Material der Oberflächenschicht des Presslings im Bereich der Verdickung weniger schnell aus und hat mehr Zeit, dem Hochbereich der Struktur des Pressreliefs des Pressblechs auszuweichen.The press plate set according to the invention can be produced particularly easily by means of the method according to the invention. The advantages of the press plate set according to the invention result analogously to the advantages which are given with regard to the method described above. In particular, the press pad is designed to be thickened in high areas of the structure of the press relief by means of the application of material, so that the reaction forces acting at these points or in these areas of the press plate can be reliably applied in the course of the pressing process. As a result, the press plate with its respective high area is pressed completely into the compact, so that the desired surface structure is established in the compact. There is also the technical advantage that the press pad has a lower thermal conductivity in the area of the thickening, so that the heat transfer between the heating press and the press plate is reduced in the area of the thickening. As a result, the material of the surface layer of the compact hardens less quickly in the area of the thickening and has more time to evade the high area of the structure of the press relief of the press plate.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Pressblechsets ist das Material von einem Elastomer, vorzugsweise einem Silikonelastomer, gebildet. Demzufolge sind eine besonders gute Elastizität des Presspolsters sowie eine geringe Wärmeleitfähigkeit in dem Bereich der Verdickung gegeben.According to an advantageous development of the press plate set according to the invention, the material is formed from an elastomer, preferably a silicone elastomer. As a result, the press pad has particularly good elasticity and low thermal conductivity in the area of the thickening.
Vorzugsweise weist das Presspolster eine Vielzahl von Verdickungen auf, so dass ein jeweiliges erfindungsgemäßes Presspolster individuell an das Design eines jeweiligen Pressblechs bzw. einer jeweiligen Oberflächenstruktur eines Presslings angepasst werden kann.The press pad preferably has a plurality of thickenings, so that a respective press pad according to the invention can be individually adapted to the design of a respective press sheet or a respective surface structure of a pressed part.
In diesem Zusammenhang ist es ferner vorteilhaft, wenn mindestens zwei Verdickungen derart unterschiedlich ausgeprägt sind, dass Dicken des Presspolsters an den Stellen der unterschiedlich ausgeprägten Verdickungen unterschiedlich sind. Mittels dieser Ausgestaltung kann auf verschieden stark ausgeprägte Hochbereiche des Pressreliefs des Pressblechs Rücksicht genommen werden.In this context, it is also advantageous if at least two thickenings are so differently pronounced that the thicknesses of the press pad are different at the locations of the differently pronounced thickenings. By means of this Design, differently pronounced high areas of the press relief of the press plate can be taken into account.
Ferner ist gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Pressblechsets vorgesehen, dass mindestens zwei Verdickungen unterschiedliche Breiten und/oder Längen aufweisen. Hierdurch lassen sich individuelle Pressreliefs auf dem Presspolster abbilden. Die Verdickungen können insbesondere streifenförmig sein.Furthermore, according to a further advantageous embodiment of the press plate set according to the invention, it is provided that at least two thickenings have different widths and / or lengths. This allows individual press reliefs to be reproduced on the press pad. The thickenings can in particular be strip-shaped.
Das erfindungsgemäße Pressblechset weiter vorteilhaft ausgestaltend, ist mindestens eine Verdickung - im Querschnitt des Presspolsters betrachtet - an mindestens einem Rand, vorzugsweise an beiden sich gegenüberliegenden Rändern, abgerundet, wobei vorzugsweise die Dicke des Presspolsters ausgehend von einem Bereich, in dem keine Verdickung vorliegt, hin zu einem Hochpunkt der Verdickung stetig ansteigt. Beim Pressvorgang bilden sich an besagtem Rand somit keine Spannungsspitzen aus, wie es bei einem sprunghaften Anstieg der Dicke nach Art einer Stufe der Fall wäre. Vielmehr wird auf diese Weise ein gleichmäßiger Anstieg von Kräften, die auf das Presspolster sowie auf das Pressblech und den Pressling im Bereich der Verdickungen wirken, erreicht. Dies hat insbesondere im Hinblick auf eine Langlebigkeit des Presspolsters Vorteile.In a further advantageous embodiment of the press sheet set according to the invention, at least one thickening - viewed in the cross section of the press pad - is rounded on at least one edge, preferably on both opposing edges, the thickness of the press pad preferably starting from an area in which there is no thickening steadily increases to a high point of thickening. During the pressing process, no stress peaks form at the said edge, as would be the case with a sudden increase in thickness in the manner of a step. Rather, in this way, a uniform increase in forces that act on the press pad and on the press plate and the pressed part in the area of the thickened areas is achieved. This has advantages in particular with regard to the longevity of the press cushion.
Schließlich sieht eine Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Pressblechsets vor, dass das Presspolster an beiden Seiten jeweils mindestens eine Verdickung aufweist, wobei vorzugsweise mindestens zwei Verdickungen, von denen jeweils eine einer der Seiten des Presspolsters zugeordnet ist, an derselben Stelle des Presspolsters angeordnet sind. Somit ist es möglich, einen besonders hohen Hochbereich des gewünschten Pressreliefs abzubilden.Finally, a further development of the press plate set according to the invention provides that the press cushion has at least one thickening on both sides, preferably at least two thickenings, one of which is assigned to one of the sides of the press cushion, being arranged at the same point of the press cushion. It is thus possible to depict a particularly high high area of the desired press relief.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel, das in den
Das Presspolster 5 ist zwischen einer Heizpresse 7 der Heizpressanlage 2 und dem Pressblech 4 angeordnet, sodass eine Kraftübertragung zwischen der Heizpresse 7 und dem Pressblech 4 mittels des Presspolsters 5 erfolgt. Das Presspolster 5 dient dazu, die Kräfte zwischen der Heizpresse 7 und dem Pressblech 4 zu vergleichmäßigen, sodass das Pressblech 4 über seine Fläche hinweg gleichmäßig mit der seitens der Heizpresse 7 zur Verfügung gestellten Druckkraft beaufschlagt wird.The
Das Pressblech 4 weist in dem gezeigten Beispiel ein Pressrelief 8 auf, mittels dessen in den Pressling 3 eine Oberflächenstruktur 9 einpressbar ist. Das Pressrelief 8 wird typischerweise in die Oberfläche des zugehörigen Pressblechs 4 eingeätzt, sodass sich eine gestaltete Oberflächenstruktur einstellt. Anhand der
Das Eindrücken solcher Hochbereiche 10 in die Oberflächenschicht eines jeweiligen Presslings 3 erfordert eine vergleichsweise hohe Presskraft, die auf das Pressblech 4 zu übertragen ist. Die durch die Oberflächenschicht bedingte Reaktionskraft, die auf das Pressblech 4 wirkt, kann dazu führen, dass sich das Presspolster 5 im Zuge eines Pressvorgangs leicht verformt, sodass das Einpressen der Hochbereiche 10 in die Oberflächenschicht nicht in derselben Weise erfolgt wie in Bereichen des Pressreliefs 8, die eine geringere Ausprägung bzw. Höhe aufweisen. Dies hat den Effekt, dass die Oberflächenstruktur 9 des fertigen Presslings 3 nicht in der gewünschten Weise gemäß dem veranschlagten Design ausgebildet ist, da Bereiche des Presslings 3, die vergleichsweise tiefe Einpressungen aufweisen sollten, nicht wie gewünscht ausgestaltet sind.The pressing of such
Um das lokale "Ausweichen" des Presspolsters 5 in den Hochbereichen 10 des Pressreliefs 8 im Zuge des Pressvorgangs zu unterbinden, ist das Presspolster 5 erfindungsgemäß mit einer Verdickung 11 ausgestattet, die mit dem Hochbereich 10 des Pressblechs 4 korrespondiert. Die Verdickung 11 wird von auf das Gewebe 6 aufgetragenem Material 12 gebildet, das dazu dient, eine lokale Dicke 13 des Gewebes 6 zu erhöhen. Im vorliegenden Beispiel handelt es sich bei dem Material 12 um ein Silikonelastomer. Mittels der Verdickung 11 wird somit der Effekt erzielt, dass das Presspolster 5 bzw. dessen Gewebe 6 in einem Wirkungsbereich 14 der Verdickung 11 eine Dicke 13 aufweist, die gegenüber der Dicke 15 des Gewebes 6, die außerhalb des Wirkungsbereichs 14 der Verdickung 11 vorliegt, vergrößert ist. In diesem jeweiligen Wirkungsbereich 14 eines oder mehrerer Verdickungen 11 ist das Gewebe 6 mithin weniger gut kompressibel, wodurch ein lokales Ausweichen des Presspolsters 5 in Richtung der Heizpresse 7 in der vorstehend beschriebenen Weise lokal unterbunden ist. Dies hat zur Folge, dass auch in solchen Bereichen des Pressblechs 4, in denen die Struktur des Pressreliefs 8 entsprechende Hochbereiche 10 aufweist, ein zuverlässiges Einpressen des Pressblechs 4 in den Pressling 3 erfolgt.In order to prevent the
