Description

本発明は、自動車のエアコン操作部やシフトレバー操作部などに配設される照明式パネルであって、その意匠面に金属調の装飾部を備えるものに関する。   The present invention relates to an illuminating panel disposed in an air conditioner operating unit, a shift lever operating unit, or the like of an automobile, and having a metallic decoration on its design surface.

自動車のエアコン操作部やシフトレバー操作部などに配設される照明式パネルはよく知られている(例えば、特許文献1,2)。こうした照明式パネルは、表面に意匠面が形成された樹脂成形品であり、その意匠面に透光性を有する照明部を備えており、パネルの裏面側から照明を当てると照明部が光るようになっている。   Illuminated panels arranged in an air conditioner operation unit, a shift lever operation unit, and the like of an automobile are well known (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). Such an illuminating panel is a resin molded product having a design surface formed on the surface, and has an illuminating part having translucency on the design surface, and the illumination part shines when illuminated from the back side of the panel. It has become.

また、従来の照明式パネルには、意匠面に金属光沢を有する金属調装飾部を備えるものがある。図10は、金属調装飾部6aを備える従来の照明式パネル1aであり、自動車のシフトレバー操作部に配設されるものである。かかる照明式パネル1aは、平板状のパネル本体2aの外周部にネジ止め用の固定部3aを設けてなるものであり、パネル本体2aの中央には、シフトレバーLが貫通するレバー用開口部7aが形成される。   Further, some conventional illumination type panels are provided with a metallic decoration having a metallic luster on the design surface. FIG. 10 shows a conventional lighting panel 1a provided with a metallic decoration 6a, which is disposed in a shift lever operation unit of an automobile. Such an illumination panel 1a is provided with a fixing portion 3a for screwing on the outer peripheral portion of a flat panel main body 2a, and a lever opening through which a shift lever L passes in the center of the panel main body 2a. 7a is formed.

意匠面4aはパネル本体2aの上面全体に亘って形成される。意匠面4aには、レバー用開口部7aの左脇に、「P」,「R」,「N」,「D」の文字が記された矩形の表示領域8aが形成されており、該表示領域8aの各文字が照明部5aを構成している。すなわち、表示領域8aの「P」,「R」,「N」,「D」の各文字部分は、照明式パネル1が透光性を有しており、裏面側から照らすと照らされた文字が光ることとなる。一方、金属調装飾部6aは、レバー用開口部7aの周縁部に設けられる。   The design surface 4a is formed over the entire top surface of the panel body 2a. On the design surface 4a, a rectangular display area 8a on which the letters “P”, “R”, “N”, and “D” are written is formed on the left side of the lever opening 7a. Each character of the region 8a constitutes the illumination unit 5a. That is, the characters “P”, “R”, “N”, and “D” in the display area 8a are illuminated when the illuminated panel 1 has translucency and is illuminated from the back side. Will shine. On the other hand, the metallic decoration 6a is provided at the peripheral edge of the lever opening 7a.

また、図10,11に示すように、パネル本体2aの上面には、所定パターンが印刷された印刷フィルム10aが積層一体化されており、該印刷フィルム10aによって、金属調装飾部6aを除く意匠面4aが形成されている。一方、金属調装飾部6aは金属メッキによって形成される。このように金属調装飾部6aを別途形成する理由は、印刷フィルムに印刷した光輝インキでは十分な金属光沢が得られないためである。   As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a print film 10a on which a predetermined pattern is printed is laminated and integrated on the upper surface of the panel body 2a, and the design excluding the metallic decoration portion 6a is formed by the print film 10a. A surface 4a is formed. On the other hand, the metallic decoration 6a is formed by metal plating. The reason why the metallic decoration 6a is separately formed in this way is that the glitter ink printed on the printing film cannot obtain a sufficient metallic luster.

上記従来の照明式パネル1aでは、金属調装飾部6aを金属メッキで形成し、残りの意匠面を印刷フィルム10aによって形成しているため、図10,11に示すように、印刷フィルム10aを表面に積層した樹脂部品24と、金属メッキした樹脂部品25とを別々に成形し、ネジ止めやカシメによって両部品を組み付けていた。また、従来の照明式パネル1aでは、図11に示すように、裏面側からの照明を透過させ得るように印刷フィルム10aの裏面側を光透過性樹脂からなる光透過性樹脂部21cによって裏打ちし、さらに、その裏面側に光不透過性樹脂からなる光不透過性樹脂部22aを積層している。なお、図11中の23aは裏面からの照明を照明部5aに当てるために光不透過性樹脂部22aに形成した開口部であり、26は二つの樹脂部品24,25を組み付けるネジである。   In the conventional illumination type panel 1a, the metallic decoration 6a is formed by metal plating and the remaining design surface is formed by the printing film 10a. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. The resin component 24 laminated on the metal plate and the metal-plated resin component 25 are separately molded, and both components are assembled by screwing or caulking. Moreover, in the conventional illumination type panel 1a, as shown in FIG. 11, the back side of the printing film 10a is lined with a light transmissive resin portion 21c made of a light transmissive resin so that illumination from the back side can be transmitted. Furthermore, a light-impermeable resin portion 22a made of a light-impermeable resin is laminated on the back surface side. In addition, 23a in FIG. 11 is an opening formed in the light-impermeable resin portion 22a in order to apply illumination from the back surface to the illumination portion 5a, and 26 is a screw for assembling the two resin parts 24 and 25.

上述のように、従来の照明式パネル1aでは、印刷フィルム10aを積層した樹脂部品24と、金属メッキした樹脂部品25とによって樹脂基材9aが構成されていたため、その製造の際には、二つの樹脂部品24,25を別々に成形し、さらに組み付けを行わなければなければならず、上記照明式パネル1aの製造には多数の工程を要していた。   As described above, in the conventional illuminating panel 1a, the resin base material 9a is constituted by the resin component 24 laminated with the printing film 10a and the resin component 25 plated with metal. The two resin parts 24 and 25 must be separately molded and further assembled, and many steps are required to manufacture the lighting panel 1a.

発明者は、上記問題を解決すべく、鋭意検討した結果、メッキした樹脂部品に替えて、薄膜金属層を組み込んだ光輝フィルムを、印刷フィルムと同時に樹脂基材に積層一体化することを想到した。しかしながら、印刷フィルムと光輝フィルムを同時に金型にセットしてフィルムインサート射出成形を行うと、射出した溶融樹脂がフィルムの表面側に漏れ出し易く、意匠面の美観が損なわれ易いという問題があった。すなわち、図12に示すように、印刷フィルム10aと光輝フィルム11aを型面にセットする場合、略切れ目のない意匠面を形成するために、二片のフィルム10a,11aを隣り合わせるようにして金型D4,D5の一方の型面にセットする必要があるが、かかる型面に対して溶融樹脂Pを射出すると、印刷フィルム10aをセットする凹部x1と、光輝フィルム11aをセットする凹部x2の間に形成される凸部yの部分で乱流が生じ、該凸部y付近において、各フィルム10a,11aの端部と型面との隙間に溶融樹脂Pが進入し易いのである。   As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the inventor has conceived that a glittering film incorporating a thin metal layer is laminated and integrated on a resin substrate simultaneously with a printed film, instead of a plated resin part. . However, when the film insert injection molding is performed by setting the printing film and the glitter film at the same time in the mold, there is a problem that the injected molten resin is likely to leak to the surface side of the film, and the aesthetic appearance of the design surface is easily impaired. . That is, as shown in FIG. 12, when the printing film 10a and the glitter film 11a are set on the mold surface, the two pieces of films 10a and 11a are placed next to each other in order to form a substantially unbroken design surface. Although it is necessary to set on one mold surface of the molds D4 and D5, when the molten resin P is injected onto the mold surface, between the recess x1 for setting the printing film 10a and the recess x2 for setting the glitter film 11a. A turbulent flow is generated in the portion of the convex portion y formed on the surface, and in the vicinity of the convex portion y, the molten resin P easily enters the gap between the end portions of the films 10a and 11a and the mold surface.

本発明は、かかる問題の解決を試みたものであり、金属調装飾部を備える製造容易な照明式パネル及びその製造方法の提供を目的とする。   The present invention is an attempt to solve such a problem, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an easily illuminated panel including a metallic decoration part and a method for manufacturing the same.

本発明は、裏面側からの照明によって光る照明部と、金属光沢を有する金属調装飾部とを意匠面に備える照明式パネルの製造方法であって、一方の金型の型面に、照明部を形成する、所定パターンが印刷された印刷フィルムと、金属調装飾部を形成する光輝フィルムとを隣り合うようにセットするフィルム取付工程と、該フィルム取付工程の後に、金型を閉じて、前記印刷フィルムの裏面側と前記光輝フィルムの裏面側とに夫々異なるキャビティを、少なくとも各フィルムの隣り合う端部に及ぶようにして分離形成し、各キャビティに光透過性の第一の樹脂を射出して、前記印刷フィルムに第一の樹脂を積層してなる加飾部品と、前記光輝フィルムに第一の樹脂を積層してなる光輝部品とを成形する第一成形工程と、該第一成形工程の後に、前記一方の金型の型面に加飾部品と光輝部品を保持したまま他方の金型を交換し、加飾部品及び光輝部品を含むキャビティに第二の樹脂を射出して、加飾部品及び光輝部品に第二の樹脂を積層してなる一体の成形品を得る第二成形工程とを含むことを特徴とする照明式パネルの製造方法である。   The present invention is a method for manufacturing an illuminating panel having an illumination part that shines by illumination from the back side and a metallic decoration part having a metallic luster on a design surface, and the illumination part is provided on a mold surface of one mold. A film mounting step for setting a printing film on which a predetermined pattern is printed and a glitter film for forming a metallic decoration portion to be adjacent to each other, and after the film mounting step, the mold is closed, Separate cavities are formed on the back side of the printed film and the back side of the glitter film so as to reach at least the adjacent ends of each film, and a light transmissive first resin is injected into each cavity. A first molding step for molding a decorative part formed by laminating the first resin on the printed film, and a bright part obtained by laminating the first resin on the bright film, and the first molding step. After the, While holding the decorative part and the bright part on the mold surface of one mold, replace the other mold, inject the second resin into the cavity containing the decorative part and the bright part, And a second molding step for obtaining an integral molded product obtained by laminating a second resin on a bright part.

本発明において「光透過性」とは、光を透過する性質であり、「透明」及び「透光性」を包含するものである。一方、「光不透過性」とは「光透過性」でない性質を指す。また、印刷フィルム及び光輝フィルムの表面とは、照明式パネルの表面に露出する側を指し、裏面はその反対側を指す。   In the present invention, “light transmissive” is a property of transmitting light and includes “transparent” and “translucent”. On the other hand, “light-impermeable” refers to a property that is not “light-transmissive”. Moreover, the surface of a printing film and a brightness film points out the side exposed to the surface of an illumination type panel, and a back surface points out the other side.

本発明の製造方法によれば、金型の型面に隣り合うようにセットした印刷フィルムと光輝フィルムに樹脂基材を適切に積層することができる。すなわち、図1(a)に示すように、印刷フィルム10と光輝フィルム11とを隣り合わせるように一方の金型D1の型面にセットした後に他方の金型D2を閉じ、印刷フィルム10と光輝フィルム11とを別々のキャビティC1,C2に分離する。かかる状態で、光透過性の第一の樹脂Tを各キャビティC1,C2に射出して、印刷フィルム10に第一の樹脂Tを積層してなる加飾部品30と、光輝フィルム11に第一の樹脂Tを積層してなる光輝部品31とを成形する。かかる第一成形工程にあっては、印刷フィルム10を含むキャビティC1と光輝フィルム11を含むキャビティC2とが分離形成されているため、両フィルム10,11の境界部分で乱流が発生することがなく、射出された第一の樹脂Tは、各フィルム10,11の端部から表面側に漏れ出すことなく積層される。   According to the production method of the present invention, the resin base material can be appropriately laminated on the printing film and the glitter film set so as to be adjacent to the mold surface of the mold. That is, as shown in FIG. 1A, after setting the printing film 10 and the glitter film 11 on the mold surface of one mold D1 so as to be adjacent to each other, the other mold D2 is closed, and the printing film 10 and the glitter film 11 are glittered. The film 11 is separated into separate cavities C1 and C2. In this state, the first transparent resin T is injected into each of the cavities C1 and C2, and the decorative component 30 formed by laminating the first resin T on the printing film 10 and the first on the glitter film 11 are provided. A bright component 31 formed by laminating the resin T is molded. In the first molding step, since the cavity C1 including the printing film 10 and the cavity C2 including the bright film 11 are separately formed, turbulence may occur at the boundary portion between the films 10 and 11. Instead, the injected first resin T is laminated without leaking from the end portions of the films 10 and 11 to the surface side.

続いて、第二成形工程では、他方の金型D3を交換し、加飾部品30と光輝部品31とを同一キャビティC3に収容した状態で第二の樹脂Uを射出して、加飾部品30と光輝部品31とに積層することによって一体の成形品を得る。この時、図1(b)に示すように、印刷フィルム10及び光輝フィルム11は第一の樹脂Tによって強固に裏打ちされているため、キャビティC3内で乱流が生じても、第二の樹脂Uが各フィルム10,11の表側に漏れ出すことはない。   Subsequently, in the second molding step, the other mold D3 is replaced, and the second resin U is injected in a state where the decorative component 30 and the bright component 31 are accommodated in the same cavity C3. And the luminous component 31 are laminated to obtain an integral molded product. At this time, as shown in FIG. 1B, since the printing film 10 and the glitter film 11 are firmly backed by the first resin T, even if turbulent flow occurs in the cavity C3, the second resin U does not leak to the front side of each film 10,11.

本発明の照明式パネルの製造方法において、光輝フィルムは、薄膜金属層を備えたものであることが提案される。薄膜金属層は略100%の金属で形成されるものであるから、かかる製造方法によれば、金属を20〜30%程度しか含まない光輝インキの印刷では実現できない金属メッキ同様の金属光沢を実現できる。また、かかる光輝フィルムを採用する場合には、光輝フィルムは、前記薄膜金属層の裏面側に厚さ100μm以上の断熱樹脂層を備えるものとすることが望ましい。かかる断熱樹脂層を備えていれば、フィルムインサート射出成形の際に、裏面側に積層される溶融樹脂の熱によって薄膜金属層が白化するのを抑えることができる。   In the manufacturing method of the illumination type panel of this invention, it is proposed that a brilliant film is provided with the thin metal layer. Since the thin metal layer is made of approximately 100% metal, this manufacturing method achieves a metallic luster similar to metal plating that cannot be achieved by printing bright ink containing only 20-30% metal. it can. Moreover, when employ | adopting such a brilliant film, it is desirable for a brilliant film to equip the back surface side of the said thin film metal layer with the heat insulation resin layer of thickness 100 micrometers or more. If such a heat insulating resin layer is provided, it is possible to suppress whitening of the thin film metal layer due to the heat of the molten resin laminated on the back surface side during film insert injection molding.

また、本発明の別の形態は、裏面側からの照明によって光る照明部と、金属光沢を有する金属調装飾部とを意匠面に備える照明式パネルであって、所定パターンが印刷された印刷フィルムと、薄膜金属層を具備する光輝フィルムとがフィルムインサート射出成形によって樹脂基材の表面に隣り合うように積層一体化されてなるものであり、樹脂基材は、少なくとも光透過性の第一の樹脂によって構成されており、該第一の樹脂は、少なくとも前記印刷フィルム及び前記光輝フィルムの隣り合う各端部に積層するように分離形成されていることを特徴とする照明式パネルである。かかる照明式パネルは、上記製造方法によって製造可能であるため、従来に比べて低コストで製造可能であり、且つ、成形不良も低減できる。   Another embodiment of the present invention is an illumination type panel having an illumination part that shines by illumination from the back side and a metallic decoration part having a metallic luster on a design surface, and a printed film on which a predetermined pattern is printed And a glitter film having a thin metal layer are laminated and integrated so as to be adjacent to the surface of the resin base material by film insert injection molding, and the resin base material is at least a light-transmitting first material. It is comprised by resin, This 1st resin is an illumination type panel characterized by being separately formed so that it may laminate | stack on each edge part which adjoins at least the said printing film and the said brightness | luminance film. Since this illumination type panel can be manufactured by the above manufacturing method, it can be manufactured at a lower cost than conventional ones, and defective molding can be reduced.

以上のように、本発明の照明式パネルの製造方法によれば、一連のフィルムインサート射出成形によって、印刷フィルム及び光輝フィルムとを樹脂基材に積層一体化できるから、従来の照明式パネルの製造方法と比べて、少ない工程数で製造することができ、また、金型コストも削減することができる。また、かかる製造方法によれば、フィルムインサート射出成形の際に、インサートした両フィルムと型面の隙間に溶融樹脂が入り込んでフィルムの表面に漏れ出すおそれが少ないないから、成形不良を低減できるという利点がある。   As described above, according to the method for manufacturing an illuminated panel of the present invention, a printed film and a bright film can be laminated and integrated on a resin base material by a series of film insert injection molding. Compared with the method, it can be manufactured with a smaller number of steps, and the mold cost can be reduced. In addition, according to such a manufacturing method, in the case of film insert injection molding, since there is little risk of molten resin entering the gap between the inserted film and the mold surface and leaking to the surface of the film, molding defects can be reduced. There are advantages.

また、本発明の照明式パネルは、上記のように、工程数が少なく、且つ、成形不良の少ない製造方法によって製造できるため、低廉で、高品質な照明式パネルを実現できる。   Moreover, since the illumination type panel of this invention can be manufactured with a manufacturing method with few processes and few molding defects as mentioned above, it can implement | achieve a cheap and high quality illumination type panel.

本発明の照明式パネルは、自動車用のエアコン操作部やシフトレバー操作部、スマートキー、スカフプレート、メータベゼル、ハンドルベゼルなどに配設されるものである。   The illuminating panel of the present invention is disposed on an air conditioner operating section or shift lever operating section for an automobile, a smart key, a scuff plate, a meter bezel, a handle bezel, or the like.

本発明の照明式パネルは、樹脂基材の表面に印刷フィルムと光輝フィルムとを積層一体化してなるものである。樹脂基材の材料となる第一の樹脂と第二の樹脂は、既存の照明式パネルと同じものを採用できる。具体的には、ABS樹脂、ポリカABS、ポリカーボネート、ポリプロピレン、アクリル樹脂などが挙げられる。第一の樹脂は、照明部を形成する印刷フィルムを裏打ちするものであるため光透過性の樹脂である必要があるが、第二の樹脂は印刷フィルムを直接裏打ちしなくてもよいため、光透過性でなくてもかまわない。また、樹脂基材は、第一の樹脂及び第二の樹脂に加えて他の樹脂を含むこともできる。   The illumination type panel of the present invention is formed by laminating a print film and a glitter film on the surface of a resin base material. The same thing as the existing illumination type panel is employable as 1st resin and 2nd resin used as the material of a resin base material. Specific examples include ABS resin, polycarbonate ABS, polycarbonate, polypropylene, and acrylic resin. The first resin is used to back the printing film that forms the illumination part, and thus needs to be a light-transmitting resin. However, the second resin does not need to back the printing film directly. It does not need to be transparent. The resin base material can also contain other resins in addition to the first resin and the second resin.

印刷フィルムは、樹脂性のフィルム基材に印刷層を形成したものであり、既存の照明式パネルの意匠面を形成する印刷フィルムと同じものを採用できる。印刷層は、グラビア印刷やフレキソ印刷、オフセット印刷等、既存の印刷フィルムと同様の印刷方法によって形成できる。印刷層はフィルム基材の表裏いずれにも設けることができるし、両面に設けることもできる。また、形成した印刷層をさらに保護層で被覆してもかまわない。   The printing film is obtained by forming a printing layer on a resinous film substrate, and the same printing film as that for forming the design surface of an existing illumination panel can be employed. The printing layer can be formed by a printing method similar to that for existing printing films, such as gravure printing, flexographic printing, and offset printing. The printing layer can be provided on both the front and back sides of the film substrate, or can be provided on both sides. Further, the formed printing layer may be further covered with a protective layer.

金属光沢を有する光輝フィルムは薄膜金属層を備えたものであることが望ましい。薄膜金属層は、ほぼ100%の金属で形成される薄膜であり、フィルム基材に真空蒸着してなる真空蒸着膜や、フィルム基材にスパッタリングしてなるスパッタ膜などが挙げられる。薄膜金属層の材料は特に限定されないが、好ましいものとしては、アルミニウム、インジウム、ニッケル、クロム、ステンレスなどが挙げられる。薄膜金属層の厚さは特に限定されないが500Å以上であることが好ましい。かかる厚さであれば、十分な金属光沢を得ることができる。   The glitter film having metallic luster is desirably provided with a thin metal layer. The thin film metal layer is a thin film formed of almost 100% metal, and examples thereof include a vacuum deposited film formed by vacuum deposition on a film substrate, and a sputtered film formed by sputtering on a film substrate. The material for the thin film metal layer is not particularly limited, but preferred examples include aluminum, indium, nickel, chromium, and stainless steel. The thickness of the thin metal layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 500 mm or more. With such a thickness, a sufficient metallic luster can be obtained.

また、光輝フィルムは、薄膜金属層の裏面側に断熱樹脂層を備えていることが望ましい。かかる構成とすれば、フィルムインサート射出成形の際に、射出される溶融樹脂の熱から薄膜金属層を保護し、薄膜金属層が白化するのを抑えることができる。断熱樹脂層の材質は特に限定されるものではないが、ABS樹脂やポリプロピレンなどが好適に用いられる。断熱樹脂層は、複数の樹脂層を多層化したものであってもかまわない。断熱樹脂層の厚さは100μm以上であることが必要であり、150μm以上が好ましい。100μm以上であれば、フィルムインサート射出成形時の熱から薄膜金属層を保護し、薄膜金属層の白化を十分に抑えることができ、厚さが150μm以上であれば、薄膜金属層の白化を確実に抑えることができる。また、成形性の観点では断熱樹脂層の厚さは500μm以下とすることが好ましい。   Moreover, it is desirable that the bright film has a heat insulating resin layer on the back side of the thin metal layer. If it is set as this structure, in the case of film insert injection molding, it can protect a thin film metal layer from the heat | fever of the molten resin inject | emitted, and can suppress that a thin film metal layer whitens. The material of the heat insulating resin layer is not particularly limited, but ABS resin or polypropylene is preferably used. The heat insulating resin layer may be a multi-layered resin layer. The thickness of the heat insulating resin layer needs to be 100 μm or more, and preferably 150 μm or more. If it is 100 μm or more, the thin film metal layer can be protected from heat during film insert injection molding, and whitening of the thin film metal layer can be sufficiently suppressed. If the thickness is 150 μm or more, the thin film metal layer can be surely whitened. Can be suppressed. From the viewpoint of moldability, the thickness of the heat insulating resin layer is preferably 500 μm or less.

本発明の照明式パネル係る意匠面は、少なくとも照明部が印刷フィルムによって形成され、金属調装飾部が光輝フィルムによって形成されていればよく、意匠面のその他の部分は、印刷フィルム、光輝フィルム、また、その他の構成によって形成することができる。なお、本発明に係る「金属調装飾部」とは、金属メッキ程度の金属光沢を有する装飾部分を指し、光輝インキによって形成された金属光沢の劣る装飾は本発明の「金属調装飾部」には含まれない。   The design surface according to the illumination type panel of the present invention is not limited as long as at least the illumination part is formed of a printed film and the metallic decoration part is formed of a glitter film, and other parts of the design surface are a print film, a glitter film, Moreover, it can form with another structure. The “metallic decoration part” according to the present invention refers to a decorative part having a metallic luster equivalent to metal plating, and the inferior metallic luster decoration formed by bright ink is referred to as the “metallic decorative part” of the present invention. Is not included.

本発明の照明式パネルの製造方法において、金型の型面にセットする印刷フィルムや光輝フィルムは予め賦形、裁断しておくことが望ましい。各フィルムの賦形には、真空成形や圧空成形、真空圧空成形などの既知の方法を用いることができる。また、各フィルムの裁断も公知の手法を用いることができる。   In the manufacturing method of the illumination type panel of this invention, it is desirable to shape and cut the printing film and the glitter film set on the mold surface in advance. For forming each film, known methods such as vacuum forming, pressure forming, and vacuum / pressure forming can be used. Also, a known method can be used for cutting each film.

フィルム取付工程、第一成形工程、及び第二成形工程は、特に言及しない限り、通常のフィルムインサート射出成形と同様に行うことができる。なお、本発明においては、第一成形工程では、印刷フィルムの裏面側と光輝フィルムの裏面側に夫々異なるキャビティを、少なくとも各フィルムの隣り合う端部に及ぶように分離形成すれば足りる。しかしながら、各キャビティは、各フィルムの全ての端部に及ぶように分離形成することが望ましい。かかる方法によれば、第一成形工程において、印刷フィルム及び光輝フィルムの全ての端部が夫々第一の樹脂で裏打ちされるため、第二成形工程において、溶融樹脂が各フィルムの端部から漏れ出すのをより確実に防止できる。   The film attachment process, the first molding process, and the second molding process can be performed in the same manner as in a normal film insert injection molding unless otherwise specified. In the present invention, in the first molding step, it is sufficient to separately form different cavities on the back side of the print film and the back side of the glitter film so as to extend at least to the adjacent end portions of the films. However, it is desirable to form each cavity separately so as to cover all the ends of each film. According to such a method, in the first molding step, all ends of the printed film and the glitter film are lined with the first resin, respectively. Therefore, in the second molding step, the molten resin leaks from the end of each film. It can prevent more reliably.

本発明においては、印刷フィルムと光輝フィルムを隣り合わせる部分において、両フィルムの端部の間の隙間をxx〜xxmmとすることが望ましい。両フィルムの端部の間の隙間をxxmmより小さくすると金型の製造が煩雑となる。一方、両フィルムの端部の間の隙間をxxmmより大きくすると、当該隙間によって意匠面の美観が損なわれてしまうためである。   In the present invention, it is desirable that the gap between the end portions of both films be xx to xx mm in the portion where the print film and the glitter film are adjacent to each other. If the gap between the end portions of both films is smaller than xx mm, the manufacture of the mold becomes complicated. On the other hand, if the gap between the end portions of both films is larger than xx mm, the aesthetic appearance of the design surface is impaired by the gap.

It will be visually recognized. Further, the portion of the back printed layer 14 other than the display region 8 is decorated with light-impermeable silver ink.

次に、本実施例の照明式パネル1の製造方法を説明する。上記照明式パネル1は、以下に示すフィルムインサート射出成形によって、印刷フィルム10と光輝フィルム11とを樹脂基材9に積層一体化することにより製造される。   Next, the manufacturing method of the illumination type panel 1 of a present Example is demonstrated. The illumination panel 1 is manufactured by laminating and integrating the printing film 10 and the glitter film 11 on the resin base material 9 by the film insert injection molding described below.

まず、フィルムインサート射出成形の前工程として、印刷フィルム10及び光輝フィルム11をそれぞれ賦形、裁断し、金型へのインサートに適した形状に予備成形する。かかる予備成形は、従来一般のフィルムインサート射出成形における既知の予備成形方法を好適に採用できる。例えば、各フィルムは、真空成形や圧空成形、真空圧空成形などにより賦形できる。   First, as a pre-process of film insert injection molding, the printing film 10 and the glitter film 11 are each shaped and cut, and preformed into a shape suitable for insertion into a mold. For this preforming, a known preforming method in conventional general film insert injection molding can be suitably employed. For example, each film can be shaped by vacuum forming, pressure forming, vacuum pressure forming or the like.

<フィルム取付工程>
フィルムインサート射出成形では、まず、図8(a)に示すように、賦形、裁断した印刷フィルム10を表面が型面に接するように下型D1にセットする。また、同時に、賦形・裁断した光輝フィルム11を、印刷フィルム10の内側に隣り合う位置に、その表面が型面に接するようにして下型D1にセットする。
<Film attachment process>
In the film insert injection molding, first, as shown in FIG. 8A, the shaped and cut print film 10 is set on the lower mold D1 so that the surface is in contact with the mold surface. At the same time, the shaped and cut glitter film 11 is set on the lower mold D1 at a position adjacent to the inside of the printing film 10 so that the surface thereof is in contact with the mold surface.

<第一成形工程>
次に、図8(b)に示すように、下型D1に対して第1の上型D2を型閉じする。この時、上型D2と下型D1によって、印刷フィルム10を含むキャビティC1と光輝フィルム11を含むキャビティC2の二つのキャビティが分離形成され、セットされた印刷フィルム10と光輝フィルム11とは別々のキャビティC1,C2に分離されることとなる。
<First molding process>
Next, as shown in FIG. 8B, the first upper mold D2 is closed with respect to the lower mold D1. At this time, the upper mold D2 and the lower mold D1 separate and form the two cavities C1 including the printing film 10 and the cavity C2 including the glitter film 11, and the set printing film 10 and glitter film 11 are separated from each other. It will be separated into cavities C1 and C2.

次に、図8(c)に示すように、印刷フィルム10がセットされたキャビティC1と光輝フィルム11がセットされたキャビティC2とに光透過性樹脂(第一の樹脂)Tを射出して、印刷フィルム10の裏面側に光透過性樹脂Tを積層してなる加飾部品30と、光輝フィルム11の裏面側に光透過性樹脂Tを積層してなる光輝部品31とを成形する。   Next, as shown in FIG. 8C, a light-transmitting resin (first resin) T is injected into the cavity C1 in which the printing film 10 is set and the cavity C2 in which the glitter film 11 is set. The decorative component 30 formed by laminating the light transmissive resin T on the back surface side of the printing film 10 and the glittering component 31 formed by laminating the light transmissive resin T on the back surface side of the glitter film 11 are formed.

<第二成形工程>
加飾部品30と光輝部品31を成形した後に、図9(d)に示すように、加飾部品30と光輝部品31を下型D1に嵌めた状態で上型を交換し、下型D1に対して第2の上型D3を型閉じする。この時、上型D3と下型D1の間には、加飾部品30と光輝部品31とを含む単一のキャビティC3が形成される。
<Second molding step>
After molding the decorative component 30 and the bright component 31, as shown in FIG. 9D, the upper mold is replaced with the decorative component 30 and the bright component 31 fitted in the lower mold D1, and the lower mold D1 is replaced. On the other hand, the second upper mold D3 is closed. At this time, a single cavity C3 including the decorative component 30 and the bright component 31 is formed between the upper mold D3 and the lower mold D1.

最後に、図9(e)に示すように、加飾部品30及び光輝部品31がセットされたキャビティC1に光不透過性樹脂(第二の樹脂)Uを射出し、図9(f)に示すように、加飾部品30と光輝部品31の裏面側に光不透過性樹脂Uを積層一体化してなる照明式パネル1を得る。   Finally, as shown in FIG. 9 (e), a light-impermeable resin (second resin) U is injected into the cavity C1 in which the decorative component 30 and the bright component 31 are set. As shown, the illumination type panel 1 formed by laminating and integrating the light-impermeable resin U on the back surfaces of the decorative component 30 and the bright component 31 is obtained.

以上の製造方法によれば、一連のフィルムインサート射出成形によって、印刷フィルム10及び光輝フィルム11を樹脂基材9に積層一体化できる。このため、本実施例の照明式パネル1は、従来の照明式パネルよりも低廉且つ容易に製造できる。すなわち、上記従来の照明式パネル1a(図10,11参照)を製造する際には、印刷フィルム10aを積層した樹脂部品24をフィルムインサート射出成形によって製造するとともに、金属メッキした樹脂部品25を別途製造し、さらに、二つの樹脂部品24,25を付けなければならなかった。これに対して、本実施例の照明式パネル1は、金属調装飾部6を形成する光輝フィルム11を、フィルムインサート射出成形によって印刷フィルム10と同時に樹脂基材9に積層一体化するため、従来の照明式パネル1aに比べて、金属メッキした樹脂部品の成形や組付けなどの工程を削減することができ、手間と金型コストを省くことができる。   According to the above manufacturing method, the printing film 10 and the glitter film 11 can be laminated and integrated with the resin base material 9 by a series of film insert injection molding. For this reason, the illumination type panel 1 of a present Example can be manufactured cheaply and easily compared with the conventional illumination type panel. That is, when manufacturing the conventional illumination type panel 1a (see FIGS. 10 and 11), the resin component 24 on which the printing film 10a is laminated is manufactured by film insert injection molding, and the metal-plated resin component 25 is separately provided. It was necessary to manufacture and attach two resin parts 24 and 25. On the other hand, in the illumination type panel 1 of this embodiment, the glitter film 11 forming the metallic decoration portion 6 is laminated and integrated with the resin base material 9 simultaneously with the printing film 10 by film insert injection molding. Compared with the illumination type panel 1a, it is possible to reduce processes such as molding and assembling of metal-plated resin parts, and to save labor and mold costs.

また、本実施例の製造方法では、図8,9に示すように、まず、印刷フィルム10と光輝フィルム11とを別々のキャビティC1,C2に分離した状態で光透過性樹脂(第一の樹脂)Tを射出することによって二片のフィルム10,11を別々に光透過性樹脂Tで裏打ちしている。かかる製造方法によれば、光透過性樹脂Tを射出する際に、二片のフィルム10,11の境界部分で乱流が発生せず、各フィルム10,11の裏面側に適切に光透過性樹脂Tを積層できる。また、光不透過性樹脂(第二の樹脂)Uを射出する際には、二片のフィルム10,11の端部は光透過性樹脂Tによって裏打ちされているため、乱流が発生しても両フィルム10,11の端部から溶融樹脂が表面側に進入することはない。したがって、かかる製造方法によれば、樹脂基材9を構成する樹脂が印刷フィルム10や光輝フィルム11の表面側に漏れ出して、意匠面4の美観が損なわれるおそれがなく、成形不良を抑えることができる。   In the manufacturing method of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, first, the light-transmitting resin (first resin) is obtained in a state where the printing film 10 and the glitter film 11 are separated into separate cavities C1 and C2. ) The two pieces of films 10 and 11 are separately lined with light-transmitting resin T by injecting T. According to this manufacturing method, when the light transmissive resin T is injected, turbulent flow does not occur at the boundary between the two pieces of the films 10 and 11, and the light transmissive property is appropriately applied to the back side of each of the films 10 and 11. Resin T can be laminated. Moreover, when injecting the light-impermeable resin (second resin) U, the end portions of the two pieces of films 10 and 11 are lined with the light-transmitting resin T, so that turbulence occurs. Also, the molten resin does not enter the surface side from the end portions of both films 10 and 11. Therefore, according to this manufacturing method, there is no possibility that the resin constituting the resin base material 9 leaks to the surface side of the printing film 10 or the glitter film 11, and the aesthetic appearance of the design surface 4 is not impaired, thereby suppressing molding defects. Can do.

また、本実施例の照明式パネル1は、光輝フィルム11は、薄膜金属層15の裏面側に断熱樹脂層16を備えているから、フィルムインサート射出成形の際に、印刷フィルム10の裏面に射出される溶融樹脂の熱が薄膜金属層15まで伝わり難く、溶融樹脂の熱によって薄膜金属層15が白化することがない。したがって、本実施例の照明式パネル1では、薄膜金属層15によって、金属メッキ同様の金属光沢に富んだ金属調装飾部6を実現できる。   Further, in the illumination type panel 1 of the present embodiment, the glitter film 11 includes the heat insulating resin layer 16 on the back surface side of the thin metal layer 15, so that it is injected onto the back surface of the printing film 10 during film insert injection molding. The heat of the molten resin is not easily transmitted to the thin film metal layer 15, and the thin film metal layer 15 is not whitened by the heat of the molten resin. Therefore, in the illumination type panel 1 of the present embodiment, the thin metal layer 15 can realize the metallic decoration portion 6 rich in metallic luster similar to the metal plating.

なお、本発明における照明式パネルは、上記実施例の形態に限らず本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内において種々変更を加えることができる。例えば、実施例の照明式パネルでは、印刷フィルム及び光輝フィルムの略裏面全体が光透過性樹脂(第一の樹脂)で裏打ちされているが、本発明にあっては、少なくとも印刷フィルム及び光輝フィルムの隣り合う端部が光透過性樹脂で裏打ちされていればよい。また、上記実施例にあっては、光輝フィルムが金属調装飾部のみを形成する構成であったが、例えば、光輝フィルムの表面を印刷層によって部分的に被覆して、当該被覆部分によって金属調装飾部以外の意匠面を形成してもかまわない。   In addition, the illumination type panel in this invention can add a various change in the range which does not deviate from the summary of not only the form of the said Example but this invention. For example, in the illumination type panel of the embodiment, the substantially entire back surface of the printing film and the glitter film is lined with a light-transmitting resin (first resin). In the present invention, at least the printing film and the glitter film are used. It is only necessary that the adjacent end portions are lined with a light-transmitting resin. Further, in the above embodiment, the glitter film has a configuration in which only the metallic decoration part is formed. For example, the surface of the glitter film is partially covered with a printing layer, and the metallic part is covered with the coating part. A design surface other than the decorative portion may be formed.
