Abstract

For the manufacture of the panel, the starting point is to overmould one of the walls (1) by the frame (2), next the components for the foam (3) of synthetic material are injected or deposited and polymerised in the box thus formed, closed by the other wall (4). Application to vehicle body elements, buildings, etc.

Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un panneau composite, du type comportant deux parois espacées se faisant face et dont les bords sont solidarisés entre eux par un cadre en matière plastique moulée définissant avec ces parois un volume rempli d'une mousse de matière synthétique. The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a composite panel, of the type comprising two spaced opposite walls and whose edges are joined together by a molded plastic frame defining with these walls a volume filled with a foam of synthetic material.

Il pourra s'agir par exemple, mais non exclusivement, de fabriquer des panneaux propres à constituer des portes - ou autres éléments de carrosserie - de caravanes, de camions isothermes ou autres matériels roulants ou flottants ou encore de constructions fixes, et d'une façon générale de tous panneaux rigides, légers, étanches, insensibles à l'eau, propres à assurer une bonne isolation vis-à-vis de la chaleur, sans pont thermique, ces panneaux pouvant bien entendu être de dimensions et d'épaisseur variables. It may, for example, but not exclusively, consist of manufacturing panels suitable for constituting doors - or other bodywork elements - for caravans, isothermal trucks or other rolling or floating materials or even fixed constructions, and a generally all rigid, light, waterproof, insensitive to water panels, capable of ensuring good insulation from heat, without thermal bridge, these panels can of course be of variable dimensions and thickness.

Les parois de tels panneaux peuvent être identiques ou différentes, lisses ou imprimées en relief, et leur cadre, comme indiqué plus haut, est en matière plastique moulée. The walls of such panels can be identical or different, smooth or printed in relief, and their frame, as indicated above, is made of molded plastic.

Jusqu a présent, de tels panneaux étaient fabriqués par surmoulage du cadre autour de la mousse de matière synthétique, maintenue entre les deux parois du panneau, cette opération, dite d'encapsulation, devant cependant être précédée par une opération consistant à placer sur tout le périmètre du panneau prémoussé un insert en bois ou en métal destiné à supporter la pression d'encapsulation, c'est-à-dire de surmoulage du cadre, ceci pour éviter que la mousse ne soit détériorée sur tout son pourtour lors de cette opération. Until now, such panels have been produced by overmolding the frame around the foam of synthetic material, held between the two walls of the panel, this operation, called encapsulation, having however to be preceded by an operation consisting in placing all over the perimeter of the pre-foamed panel a wooden or metal insert intended to withstand the encapsulation pressure, that is to say of overmolding of the frame, this to prevent the foam from being deteriorated all around during this operation.

Cela complique gravement la fabrication, car le positionnement relatif des pièces composant le panneau demande beaucoup de précautions, avec en outre le risque de créer des ponts thermiques, et des incompatibilités entre les matériaux employés. This seriously complicates manufacturing, because the relative positioning of the parts making up the panel requires a lot of precautions, with the risk of creating thermal bridges and incompatibilities between the materials used.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à cet inconvénient de la technique antérieure et, à cet effet, un procédé de fabrication de panneaux du type général défini plus haut sera caractérisé, conformément à l'invention, en ce qu'il consiste à surmouler tout d'abord ledit cadre sur l'une desdites parois, laquelle se trouve ainsi encapsulée sur toute sa périphérie, puis à injecter ou déposer ladite mousse de matière synthétique dans le volume ainsi défini pour qu'elle y polymérise, et à fermer ce volume en appliquant l'autre paroi sur la mousse pour terminer le panneau tout en maintenant l'écartement voulu entre les parois, permettant ainsi à ladite mousse de s'expanser dans ce volume et de conférer audit panneau la rigidité voulue. The object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback of the prior art and, for this purpose, a method of manufacturing panels of the general type defined above will be characterized, in accordance with the invention, in that it consists of firstly overmolding said frame on one of said walls, which is thus encapsulated over its entire periphery, then injecting or depositing said foam of synthetic material in the volume thus defined so that it polymerizes therein, and closing this volume by applying the other wall to the foam to complete the panel while maintaining the desired spacing between the walls, thus allowing said foam to expand in this volume and to give said panel the desired rigidity.

On encapsule donc seulement l'une des parois parle cadre en matière plastique surmoulée, (à moyenne ou haute pression), et la mousse de matière synthétique (par exemple en polyuréthane) n'étant mise en place qu'ensuite, elle ne peut plus être détériorée par l'opération d'encapsulage. Il n'y a donc plus besoin de prendre les précautions de l'art antérieur indiquées plus haut. We therefore encapsulate only one of the walls by the molded plastic frame (at medium or high pressure), and the foam of synthetic material (for example polyurethane) being put in place only afterwards, it can no longer be damaged by the encapsulation operation. There is therefore no longer any need to take the precautions of the prior art indicated above.

Les figures 1 et 2 du dessin ci-annexé montrent les phases essentielles du procédé. Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawing show the essential phases of the process.

La figure 1 représente le surmoulage d'une paroi 1 du panneau par le cadre 2 ; en d'autres termes, il s'agit de l'encapsulation de la paroi 1 par le cadre 2, ce qui fournit une sorte de caisson ouvert. Cette technique peut être mise en oeuvre par la méthode dite
R.I.M. (réaction, injection, moulage). La matière plastique moulée consituant le cadre peut être en différents polymères, par exemple en polyuréthane rigide, éventuellement renforcé de fibres.
Figure 1 shows the overmolding of a wall 1 of the panel by the frame 2; in other words, it is the encapsulation of the wall 1 by the frame 2, which provides a kind of open box. This technique can be implemented by the so-called method
RIM (reaction, injection, molding). The molded plastic constituting the frame can be made of different polymers, for example rigid polyurethane, possibly reinforced with fibers.

La figure 2 montre la mousse de polyuréthane 3 injectée ou déposée et polymérisée ensuite dans l'espace défini dans le caisson de la figure 1, alors fermé par l'autre paroi, 4, maintenue à écartement constant avec la première paroi au moyen d'un outillage spécial, pour résister à l'effort provoqué par l'expansion de la mousse pendant sa polymérisation. Figure 2 shows the polyurethane foam 3 injected or deposited and then polymerized in the space defined in the box of Figure 1, then closed by the other wall, 4, maintained at constant spacing with the first wall by means of special tools to resist the stress caused by the expansion of the foam during its polymerization.

On obtient ainsi, grâce à une procédure simplifiée, un panneau ayant les qualités énumérées plus haut, et de toute forme voulue, définie par les moules.  There is thus obtained, thanks to a simplified procedure, a panel having the qualities listed above, and of any desired shape, defined by the molds.
