<Manufacturing method of design panel>
The above-described design panel 80 is an in-mold coating in which after the resin layer 10 is molded by resin molding, paint is injected into the molds 51 and 52 (see FIG. 5) to form the coating layer 20 on the resin layer 10. Molded by the method and finished by subsequent cutting. Specifically, the design panel 80 is manufactured through the following steps. A method for manufacturing the design panel 80 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, in a 1st process, as shown to FIG. 5 (A), the resin layer 10 is shape | molded within the metal mold | dies 51 and 52, and the resin layer molded product 11 is made. Here, the R surfaces 83a and 83b of the curved end portion 83, the flat surface 82a of the second portion 82, the surface 81a of the first portion 81 in the vicinity of the second portion 82, and the like are also formed into a final shape.

  Next, in the second step after the first step, as shown in FIG. 5 (B), the molds 51 and 52 are slightly separated to secure a space 20a between the resin layer molded product 11 and the mold 51. To do. The state shown in FIG. 5B is referred to as the mold open state of the molds 51 and 52.

  Next, in a third step after the second step, paint is injected into the space 20a. As the paint, a thermosetting paint is used. An injector 54 is used to inject the paint. The injector 54 is connected to a measuring cylinder (not shown) and a paint tank, and injects liquid paint from a paint injection port formed in the mold 51.

  Next, in the fourth process after the third process, the molds 51 and 52 are brought closer again, that is, the molds 51 and 52 are set in the mold-clamped state, and the paint injected in the third process is cured. . Here, it is required to quickly put the molds 51 and 52 into the mold-clamped state before the fluidity is lost due to the progress of the curing reaction of the thermosetting paint. Then, by the temperature control of the molds 51 and 52, a predetermined amount of the injected paint is integrally formed on the resin layer molded article 11 to become the coating layer 20.

  Through such first to fourth steps, a design panel molded product 15 in which the resin layer molded product 11 (resin layer 10) and the coating layer 20 are integrated is generated.

  The design panel molded product 15 removed from the molds 51 and 52 after the fourth step has an end portion of the coating layer 20 which is not the final shape of the design panel 80 as indicated by a dotted line in FIG. Therefore, subsequent to the first to fourth steps, finishing cutting is performed in the fifth step.

  In the fifth step, the end portion of the coating layer 20 of the design panel molded product 15 is cut with reference to the flat surface 82a of the resin layer 10 (the flat surface 82a of the second portion 82). As a result, the end of the paint layer 20 (the vicinity of the second part 82 of the paint layer 20 of the first part 81) becomes a flat surface (viewing surface) 81c continuous with the flat surface 82a of the second part 82. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, as the surface 80 a of the design panel 80, from the front side, the viewing surfaces 81 b and 81 c of the coating layer 20 of the first part 81, the flat surface 82 a of the second part 82, and R of the curved end part 83. The surface 83a is formed in a continuous state.

<Characteristics of design panel of air conditioner>
(1)
In the design panel 80 of the air conditioner 1, the viewing surfaces 81 b and 81 c of the first portion 81 and the R surface 83 a of the curved end portion 83 are connected to the flat surface 82 a of the second portion 82, and the first portion 81. Since the vicinity of the second portion 82 of the coating layer 20 is continuous with the flat surface 82a of the second portion 82, the design panel 80 is improved in appearance. Further, since the curved end portion 83 is made only of the resin layer 10, the R surface 83a can be formed without sharpness, and the safety of the person handling the design panel 80 is improved. Further, the vicinity of the second part 82 of the coating layer 20 of the first part 81 and the flat surface 82a of the second part 82 are inclined and curved toward the back surface 82b side with respect to the front surface 81a of the resin layer 10 of the first part 81. Since it is connected to the R surface 83a of the end 83, the design of the design panel 80 is hardly deteriorated.

  In other words, in the method of manufacturing the design panel 80 of the air conditioner 1, the design panel molded product 15 in which the coating layer 20 is integrated with the resin layer molded product 11 can be obtained in the first to fourth steps. . And the visual recognition surface 81c which is the cut surface of the coating layer 20, the plane 82a of the 2nd part 82 which consists of the resin layer 10, and the resin layer 10 by the cutting | disconnection of the edge part of the coating layer 20 of the design panel molded product 15 in a 5th process. The design panel 80 in which the R surface 83a of the curved end portion 83 is a continuous surface is completed. Thus, here, the visual recognition surface 81c, which is a cut surface of the coating layer 20, the flat surface 82a of the second portion 82, and the R surface 83a of the curved end portion 83 become a continuous surface, thereby improving the appearance of the design panel 80. In addition, the R surface 83a can be secured at the curved end 83 (the end of the design panel 80), and the safety of the person handling the design panel 80 is improved. Further, since the plane 82a of the resin layer 10 of the second portion 82 is inclined inward with respect to the surface 81a of the resin layer 10 of the first portion 81 on which the coating layer 20 is formed, the plane 82a without the coating layer 20 is provided. Is not conspicuous when viewed from the front, and the design of the design panel 80 is hardly deteriorated.

In the design panel 80 of the air conditioner 1, the vicinity of the second portion 82 of the coating layer 20 of the first portion 81 is provided due to the presence of the flat surface 82 a of the second portion 82 that is not provided with the coating layer 20 and is composed only of the resin layer 10. This cutting process can be performed with reference to the plane 82a of the second portion 82. Since the plane 82a of the second portion 82 having a width of 0.5 mm or more (here, about 1.0 mm) is used as a reference for cutting, the cut surface (viewing surface) 81c of the coating layer 20 of the first portion 81 is used. And the flat surface 82a of the second part 82 are smooth, the cutting angle is stable, and the manufacturing stability of the design panel 80 is improved.

(3)
In the design panel 80 of the air conditioner 1, the flat surface 82 a of the second portion 82 is set at least once (1.0 to 1.. 5 degrees) Since it is inclined to the back surface 82b side, the flat surface 82a of the second portion 82 that is closer to the curved end portion 83 than the viewing surfaces 81b and 81c becomes inconspicuous, and the design of the design panel 80 Improved.

<Modification>
In the above embodiment, most of the design panel 80 is a flat plane portion facing the front side, and most of the plane portion (flat portion) and the portion bent to the back side are described as a first portion 81. However, the present invention is not limited to the design panel in which the portion facing the front side is a flat flat portion, and the portion facing the front side is curved or uneven, or a crosspiece is formed. The present invention can also be applied to a design panel that is touching.
