Description

本発明は、補強部材が埋め込まれた、熱可塑性樹脂発泡粒子成形体からなる、自動車用座席シート部材に関する。   The present invention relates to an automobile seat sheet member made of a thermoplastic resin expanded particle molded body in which a reinforcing member is embedded.

近年、自動車用座席シート部材として、熱可塑性樹脂発泡粒子成形体(以下単に発泡成形体という)の内部に金属等からなる補強部材を埋め込み、融着一体化させた自動車用座席シート部材が用いられている。発泡成形体に埋め込む補強部材は、車両本体への取り付けや、シートアレンジのための構造体フレーム、また、衝突時の補強材などとして埋め込まれるものである。   2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, automotive seat sheets have been used in which a reinforcing member made of metal or the like is embedded in a thermoplastic resin foam particle molded body (hereinafter simply referred to as a foam molded body) and fused and integrated. ing. The reinforcing member embedded in the foamed molded body is embedded as a structural body frame for attachment to a vehicle body, a seat arrangement, a reinforcing material at the time of a collision, or the like.

このような発泡成形体と補強部材を融着一体化させてなる部材としては、これまでに、基体発泡樹脂層と、該基体発泡樹脂層の内部又は表面に配設される補強部材とから構成され、補強部材を被覆した発泡性樹脂の発泡層と、基体発泡樹脂層とが係合又は係合・融着した複合発泡成形体が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1を参照)。   As a member obtained by fusing and integrating such a foam molded body and a reinforcing member, it has so far been composed of a base foam resin layer and a reinforcing member disposed on or inside the base foam resin layer. There has been proposed a composite foamed molded article in which a foamed resin foam layer covering a reinforcing member and a base foam resin layer are engaged or engaged / fused (for example, see Patent Document 1).

このような複合発泡成形体の製造は、例えば、金型内の所定の位置に補強部材を配設し、次いで基体を構成する発泡粒子を充填し、加熱、融着させることによって製造されている。   Such a composite foamed molded body is manufactured by, for example, disposing a reinforcing member at a predetermined position in a mold, filling the foamed particles constituting the base, and heating and fusing. .

特開平5−154929号公報JP-A-5-154929

発泡成形体は、一般的に、金型による型内成形後に成型収縮を起こすので、養生工程により発泡成形体の寸法を回復させる必要があり、発泡成形体の寸法が安定するまでには一定の時間を要していた。また、このような特性を有する発泡成形体と、補強部材とを融着一体化した発泡成形体を、自動車用座席シート部材とする場合には、発泡成形体の収縮により補強部材自体が曲がってしまうことがあった。該補強部材が曲がってしまうと、養生工程を経ても、発泡成形体を元の形状に回復させることが困難となり反りが発生したり、目的の寸法精度を得ることができなくなる場合があり、車両への取り付け精度が悪くなったり、所定の性能が確保できない等の問題が生じるおそれがあった。   In general, a foamed molded product undergoes mold shrinkage after in-mold molding using a mold. Therefore, it is necessary to recover the size of the foamed molded product through a curing process. It took time. Further, when a foam molded body obtained by fusing and integrating a foam molded body having such characteristics and a reinforcing member is used as an automobile seat sheet member, the reinforcing member itself is bent due to the shrinkage of the foam molded body. There was a case. If the reinforcing member is bent, it may be difficult to recover the foamed molded product to its original shape even after a curing process, warping may occur, and target dimensional accuracy may not be obtained. There is a possibility that problems such as poor accuracy of mounting on the camera and inability to secure predetermined performance may occur.

これらの問題を解決するための対策としては、発泡成形体の成形後の収縮率を予め予測して、発泡成形体や補強部材を予め逆方向に反らせて成形しておき、収縮後に反りのない形状とする方法が考えられる。   As a measure for solving these problems, the shrinkage rate after molding of the foam molded body is predicted in advance, and the foam molded body and the reinforcing member are previously warped in the reverse direction, and there is no warpage after shrinkage. A method of forming a shape is conceivable.

しかしながら、成形後の発泡成形体の収縮率は、使用する熱可塑性樹脂発泡粒子の種類、製造条件、補強部材の材質などによっても異なることから、発泡粒子成形体の反りの大きさをその都度設定する必要があった。更にはそれに関連して、使用する金型をその都度設計する必要があるため、金型の数や種類が膨大になるとともに、再現性に乏しく大量生産に不向きであるといった問題があった。   However, the shrinkage rate of the foamed molded product after molding varies depending on the type of thermoplastic resin foam particles used, the manufacturing conditions, the material of the reinforcing member, etc., so the amount of warpage of the foamed particle molded product is set each time. There was a need to do. Further, there is a problem in that it is necessary to design the mold to be used each time, so that the number and types of molds are enormous, and the reproducibility is poor and not suitable for mass production.

本発明は、上記の問題を解消するためになされたものであって、反りが少なく寸法精度の極めて優れた、補強部材が融着一体化された熱可塑性樹脂発泡粒子成形体からなる自動車用座席シート部材を提供することを課題とする。   The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and is an automobile seat comprising a thermoplastic resin foamed particle molded body in which a reinforcing member is fused and integrated, which has less warpage and extremely excellent dimensional accuracy. It is an object to provide a sheet member.

以下、本発明の自動車用座席シート部材について詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, the seat seat member for automobiles of the present invention will be described in detail.

本発明の自動車用座席シート部材は、補強部材が埋め込まれている発泡成形体からなる自動車用座席シート部材であって、前記発泡成形体の上面、又は上面及び下面から、厚み方向に、凹欠した少なくとも1本のスリットが形成された自動車用座席シート部材である。   The automotive seat sheet member of the present invention is an automotive seat sheet member formed of a foam molded body in which a reinforcing member is embedded, and is recessed from the upper surface or the upper surface and the lower surface of the foam molded body in the thickness direction. This is a seat member for automobiles in which at least one slit is formed.

発泡成形体を構成する熱可塑性樹脂は、適宜選択可能であるが、例えば、ポリスチレン系樹脂、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン等のポリオレフィン系樹脂、ポリブチレンサクシネート、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリ乳酸等のポリエステル系樹脂、ポリカーボネート系樹脂、その他、ポリスチレン系樹脂とポリオレフィン系樹脂との複合樹脂などを挙げることができる。   The thermoplastic resin constituting the foamed molded product can be appropriately selected. For example, polystyrene resins, polyolefin resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polybutylene succinates, polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate and polylactic acid, polycarbonate In addition, a composite resin of a polystyrene resin and a polyolefin resin can be used.

なお、本発明においては、結晶性樹脂であることから収縮し易い、ポリオレフィン系樹脂を用いた場合に、特に反り防止の効果が発揮される。上記の観点から、ポリエチレン系樹脂、ポリプロピレン系樹脂がより好ましく、ポリプロピレン系樹脂がさらに好ましい。   In the present invention, the effect of preventing warpage is particularly exerted when using a polyolefin-based resin which is a crystalline resin and easily shrinks. From the above viewpoint, a polyethylene resin and a polypropylene resin are more preferable, and a polypropylene resin is more preferable.

前記発泡粒子は、この種の発泡粒子を製造する公知の方法により製造することができる。例えば、オートクレーブ等の加圧可能な密閉容器内の所要量の分散媒体(通常は水)に、所望により界面活性剤を添加し、樹脂粒子を分散させ、発泡剤を圧入して加熱下に撹拌して発泡剤を樹脂粒子に含浸させ、所定時間経過後、高温高圧条件下の容器内から分散媒体とともに発泡剤を含浸した樹脂粒子を低圧域(通常大気圧下)に放出して、発泡させ発泡粒子を得る方法などにより製造される。このように予め発泡させた発泡粒子は、金型に充填した後加熱スチームを導入することにより型内成形を行って、発泡粒子が2次発泡するとともに発泡粒子表面が溶融して一体化して、発泡成形体を得ることができる。また、この際、金型内に補強部材を所定の位置に配置して型内成形することによって、補強部材と発泡粒子が融着一体化され、補強部材が埋め込まれている発泡成形体が一体成形体として得られる。   The foamed particles can be produced by a known method for producing this kind of foamed particles. For example, if necessary, a surfactant is added to a required amount of dispersion medium (usually water) in a pressurized container such as an autoclave to disperse the resin particles, and a foaming agent is injected and stirred under heating. Then, the resin particles are impregnated with the foaming agent, and after a predetermined time, the resin particles impregnated with the foaming agent together with the dispersion medium from the container under the high temperature and high pressure conditions are discharged into a low pressure region (usually under atmospheric pressure) and foamed. It is manufactured by a method for obtaining expanded particles. In this way, the foamed particles previously foamed are filled in the mold and then subjected to in-mold molding by introducing heated steam, the foamed particles are secondary foamed and the foamed particle surface is melted and integrated, A foamed molded product can be obtained. At this time, the reinforcing member is placed in a predetermined position in the mold and molded in-mold, whereby the reinforcing member and the foam particles are fused and integrated, and the foam molded body in which the reinforcing member is embedded is integrated. Obtained as a molded body.

本発明で用いる補強部材としては、通常、自動車用座席シート部材の補強部材として用いられるものであれば特に制限はなく、例えば、鉄、アルミニウム、銅等からなる金属製補強部材や、エンジニアリングプラスチック、ガラス繊維強化樹脂等からなる樹脂製補強部材等を挙げることができる。これらの中でも、強度等の観点から金属製のものが好ましい。また、その形状は、線状、管状、または棒状のものが好ましく、直径が2〜20mmのものが好ましい。   The reinforcing member used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is usually used as a reinforcing member for an automobile seat sheet member, for example, a metal reinforcing member made of iron, aluminum, copper, etc., engineering plastic, Examples thereof include a resin reinforcing member made of glass fiber reinforced resin. Among these, those made of metal are preferable from the viewpoint of strength and the like. The shape is preferably linear, tubular, or rod-shaped, and preferably has a diameter of 2 to 20 mm.

また、補強部材の形状は、車両本体への取り付けや、衝突時の補強として機能する形状であれば特に制限はないが、少なくとも、前記発泡成形体の一辺に埋め込まれていることが好ましく、自動車用座席シートの長手方向の辺に埋め込まれていることがさらに好ましい。また、該補強部材は、座席シートの長手方向の長さを100%としたときに、座席シートの少なくとも30〜95%にわたる範囲で埋設されていることが好ましく、50〜90%にわたる範囲で埋設されていることがより好ましい。なお、通常、自動車用座席シートとして用いられる場合には、図1(A)〜(D)に示すように、自動車用座席シート部材を上から見た場合の各辺及び四隅を補強しうる補強部材2としてパイプ等を、座席シート形状に併せて矩形に成形した形状であることが望ましい。   Further, the shape of the reinforcing member is not particularly limited as long as it is a shape that functions as a mounting to a vehicle body or a reinforcement at the time of a collision, but it is preferably at least embedded in one side of the foam molded body. More preferably, the seat is embedded in the longitudinal side of the seat. Further, it is preferable that the reinforcing member is embedded in a range covering at least 30 to 95% of the seat seat when the length in the longitudinal direction of the seat is 100%, and embedded in a range covering 50 to 90%. More preferably. Normally, when used as an automobile seat seat, as shown in FIGS. 1A to 1D, reinforcement that can reinforce each side and four corners when the automobile seat sheet member is viewed from above. It is desirable that the member 2 has a shape in which a pipe or the like is formed into a rectangular shape in accordance with the shape of the seat.

本発明の自動車用座席シート部材は、上記発泡粒子と共に補強部材2を一体成形し、補強部材2が埋め込まれた発泡成形体1から形成される。
以下に、本発明の自動車用座席シート部材の成形工程を、図2を用いて詳細に説明する。
The automobile seat sheet member of the present invention is formed from a foamed molded body 1 in which the reinforcing member 2 is integrally formed with the foamed particles, and the reinforcing member 2 is embedded.
Below, the formation process of the seat sheet member for motor vehicles of this invention is demonstrated in detail using FIG.

図2は、本発明の自動車用座席シート部材の製造で使用される代表的な成形装置である。成形装置5は、自動車用座席シート部材を成形する金型6と、スチームチャンバー7から構成され、金型6には、発泡粒子を充填するためのインジェクター8が取り付けられており、また、加熱スチームの透過や空気の排出のためのコアベント9が設けられている。   FIG. 2 shows a typical molding apparatus used in the production of the seat member for an automobile of the present invention. The molding device 5 is composed of a mold 6 for molding a seat member for an automobile and a steam chamber 7, and an injector 8 for filling foam particles is attached to the mold 6, and heating steam is also provided. A core vent 9 is provided for air permeation and air discharge.

金型6は、熱伝導の良い材質、金属製のものが用いられ、例えば、鉄、アルミニウム等からなるものが挙げられる。   The metal mold 6 is made of a material having good heat conductivity and made of metal, for example, one made of iron, aluminum or the like.

自動車用座席シート部材の製造プロセスは、補強部材2の配置、発泡粒子の充填、加熱、冷却、離型の工程からなる。   The manufacturing process of the seat member for automobiles includes the steps of disposing the reinforcing member 2, filling the foamed particles, heating, cooling, and releasing.

まず、補強部材2の配置として、金型6の一方に補強部材2を配置して型締めをする。次に、インジェクター8から、金型6内に発泡粒子を充填する。なお、この発泡粒子は、予め内部に加圧ガスを浸透させて内圧を付与した状態でもよく、内圧が付与されていないそのままの状態で充填してもよい。   First, as the arrangement of the reinforcing member 2, the reinforcing member 2 is arranged on one side of the mold 6 and the mold is clamped. Next, the foamed particles are filled into the mold 6 from the injector 8. The expanded particles may be in a state in which a pressurized gas is infiltrated into the inside in advance to give an internal pressure, or may be filled in a state in which no internal pressure is applied.

そして、この状態でスチームチャンバー7内に加熱スチーム10を供給して、金型6のコアベント9を通して、金型6内に加熱スチーム10を導入し、発泡粒子を2次発泡させ、発泡粒子間の空隙を埋めて、互いに融着させる。なお、発泡粒子を2次発泡させ、互いに融着する温度は、使用する発泡粒子の種類や特性等によって異なるため、発泡粒子が互いに融着する温度以上の加熱スチーム10を適宜供給すればよいが、加熱スチーム10の温度が高すぎる場合には、得られる発泡成形体1の収縮が大きくなり過ぎる傾向がある。従って、概ね0.02〜0.5MPa(G)のスチームが用いられる。この加熱工程により、金型内で発泡成形体1が形成されるとともに、発泡成形体1の内部に補強部材2が埋め込まれた状態で融着一体化する。   In this state, the heated steam 10 is supplied into the steam chamber 7, the heated steam 10 is introduced into the mold 6 through the core vent 9 of the mold 6, the foamed particles are secondarily foamed, and the space between the foamed particles is increased. The gap is filled and fused together. Note that the temperature at which the foamed particles are secondarily foamed and fused to each other varies depending on the type and characteristics of the foamed particles to be used. When the temperature of the heating steam 10 is too high, shrinkage of the obtained foamed molded body 1 tends to be too large. Accordingly, steam of approximately 0.02 to 0.5 MPa (G) is used. By this heating step, the foam molded body 1 is formed in the mold, and the fusion molded body 1 is fused and integrated with the reinforcing member 2 embedded in the foam molded body 1.

次に、金型6を冷却した後、離型して金型6から取出し、成形した自動車用座席シート部材を得ることができる。なお、本発明の上記の方法で製造した自動車用座席シート部材においては、発泡成形体1と補強部材2とが一体に成形されていればよく、例えば、車両本体に取り付けるため、また、自動車用座席シート部材に他の部材を取り付けるために、補強部材2の一部が発泡成形体1から露出していても構わない。   Next, after the mold 6 is cooled, it is released and taken out from the mold 6 to obtain a molded automobile seat sheet member. In addition, in the automobile seat sheet member manufactured by the above-described method of the present invention, the foamed molded body 1 and the reinforcing member 2 may be integrally formed. For example, for mounting on a vehicle body, and for automobiles. In order to attach another member to the seat member, a part of the reinforcing member 2 may be exposed from the foam molded body 1.

自動車座席シート部材の形状は、図3に示すように、乗員の大腿部が接する部分33は厚みが厚く、臀部が接する部分34は厚みが薄い成形体形状であることが好ましい。臀部が接する部分34のシート部材の厚みは、0〜100mmであることが好ましく、5〜70mmであることがより好ましい。厚みが0mmとあるのは、一部に穴が設けられていてもよいためである。また、臀部が接する部分34のシート部材の厚みと大腿部が接する部分33の厚みの差は、乗員の滑り出し防止のためには20〜200mmであることが好ましく、30〜170mmであることがより好ましい。   As shown in FIG. 3, the shape of the automobile seat member is preferably a molded body shape in which the portion 33 in contact with the thigh of the occupant is thick and the portion 34 in contact with the buttocks is thin. The thickness of the sheet member of the portion 34 in contact with the collar portion is preferably 0 to 100 mm, and more preferably 5 to 70 mm. The reason why the thickness is 0 mm is that a part of the holes may be provided. In addition, the difference between the thickness of the seat member 34 in the portion 34 in contact with the buttocks and the thickness of the portion 33 in contact with the thigh is preferably 20 to 200 mm, and preferably 30 to 170 mm in order to prevent the occupant from slipping out. More preferred.

なお、このように自動車座席シート部材の厚みに偏りがある場合、発泡成形体1の4辺部分にわたってフレームとして補強部材2を一体成形すると、補強部分が発泡成形体1の厚み方向の中央部分に位置しない箇所や、厚み方向において上下のどちらかに偏った部位に配置されることがある。   When the thickness of the automobile seat member is uneven as described above, when the reinforcing member 2 is integrally formed as a frame over the four sides of the foam molded body 1, the reinforcing portion is located at the central portion in the thickness direction of the foam molded body 1. It may be arranged at a location that is not located or at a location that is biased to either the top or bottom in the thickness direction.

このような場合、補強部材2が存在する部分は補強部材2によって発泡粒子が拘束され、収縮量が小さくなる傾向にあるのに対し、補強部材2が存在しない部分は収縮量が大きくなる。例えば、発泡成形体1の厚み方向において補強部材2が下面側に偏った位置に存在すると、発泡成形体1の上面側の収縮が大きくなってしまう。   In such a case, in the portion where the reinforcing member 2 exists, the foamed particles are restrained by the reinforcing member 2 and the shrinkage amount tends to decrease, whereas in the portion where the reinforcing member 2 does not exist, the shrinkage amount increases. For example, if the reinforcing member 2 exists in a position deviated toward the lower surface side in the thickness direction of the foam molded body 1, the shrinkage on the upper surface side of the foam molded body 1 becomes large.

即ち、自動車用座席シート部材1を形成する発泡成形体1は、金型から取り出した時点から収縮を開始し、発泡成形体1に埋め込んだ補強部材2の位置によっては反りが発生する。例えば、図6(A)に示すように、補強部材2が発泡成形体1の下面寄りに埋め込まれている場合には、補強部材2の上部の厚い部分である発泡成形体1の上部31の収縮量が、補強部材2の下部の厚みの薄い部分である発泡成形体1の下部32の収縮量に比べて大きいため、成形後に、図6(B)に示すように上側に反りが生じる場合がある。   That is, the foamed molded body 1 forming the automobile seat sheet member 1 starts to contract from the time when it is taken out from the mold, and warpage occurs depending on the position of the reinforcing member 2 embedded in the foamed molded body 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the reinforcing member 2 is embedded near the lower surface of the foam molded body 1, the upper portion 31 of the foam molded body 1, which is a thick part at the top of the reinforcing member 2, is used. When the amount of shrinkage is larger than the amount of shrinkage of the lower portion 32 of the foam molded body 1 which is a thin portion of the lower portion of the reinforcing member 2, warping occurs on the upper side after molding as shown in FIG. There is.

本発明においては、補強部材2が埋設されていることに起因する発泡成形体1の特定箇所における上記の収縮量のばらつきを小さくするために、収縮量が大きいと考えられる該補強部材2が埋め込まれた箇所に、発泡成形体1の上面、又は上面及び下面から、厚み方向に、凹欠したスリット4を形成することにより、変形を緩和することができることを見出したものである。   In the present invention, in order to reduce the variation in the amount of shrinkage at a specific location of the foamed molded body 1 caused by the reinforcement member 2 being embedded, the reinforcement member 2 considered to have a large shrinkage amount is embedded. The present inventors have found that the deformation can be alleviated by forming the slits 4 that are recessed in the thickness direction from the upper surface or the upper surface and the lower surface of the foam molded body 1 at the locations.

即ち、本発明では、このような反りの発生を抑制するために、発泡成形体1の上面、又は上面及び下面から、厚み方向に、凹欠した少なくとも1本のスリット4が、該補強部材2が埋め込まれた箇所に、該補強部材2に交差して形成される。該スリット4が形成されることにより、収縮によりかかる力が該スリット4を介して分断され、緩和されることになり、発泡成形体1の変形量を低減させることができる。さらに、効率的に発泡成形体1の変形量を低減させるためには、補強部材2に交差してスリット4が形成されることを要する。   That is, in the present invention, in order to suppress the occurrence of such warpage, at least one slit 4 that is recessed in the thickness direction from the upper surface or the upper surface and the lower surface of the foam molded body 1 has the reinforcing member 2. Is formed so as to intersect with the reinforcing member 2 at a portion where is embedded. By forming the slit 4, the force applied by the contraction is divided and relaxed through the slit 4, and the deformation amount of the foam molded body 1 can be reduced. Furthermore, in order to efficiently reduce the deformation amount of the foam molded body 1, it is necessary to form the slits 4 so as to intersect the reinforcing member 2.

なお、本発明において上面とは、自動車用座席シート部材における座面側の面を意味し、下面とはその反対側の面を意味する。   In the present invention, the upper surface means the surface on the seating surface side of the seat member for automobiles, and the lower surface means the surface on the opposite side.

自動車用座席シート部材においては、補強部材2が発泡成形体1の厚み方向の下面側に位置することが多いので、スリット4が少なくとも補強部材2の上面側の発泡成形体1上面に形成されることが好ましい。   In the seat member for automobiles, the reinforcing member 2 is often located on the lower surface side in the thickness direction of the foam molded body 1, so that the slit 4 is formed at least on the upper surface of the foam molded body 1 on the upper surface side of the reinforcing member 2. It is preferable.

また、本発明で発泡成形体1に形成するスリット4の深さは、図4に示すように、発泡成形体1の上面に形成したスリット4の底部から補強部材2までの厚み方向の長さ(a)(mm)と、下面から補強部材2までの厚み方向の長さ(b)(mm)が下式を満足することが好ましい。
|a−b|≦100mm・・・(1)
The depth of the slit 4 formed in the foam molded body 1 in the present invention is the length in the thickness direction from the bottom of the slit 4 formed on the upper surface of the foam molded body 1 to the reinforcing member 2 as shown in FIG. It is preferable that (a) (mm) and the length (b) (mm) in the thickness direction from the lower surface to the reinforcing member 2 satisfy the following formula.
| A−b | ≦ 100 mm (1)

即ち、発泡成形体1の上面に形成したスリット4の底部から補強部材2までの厚み方向の長さ(a)(mm)と、下面から補強部材2までの厚み方向の長さ(b)(mm)との差を小さくすることにより、補強部材2の上面と下面とで異なっていた収縮によってかかる力の差を小さくすることができるので、発泡成形体1の反りをより少なくすることができる。   That is, the length (a) (mm) in the thickness direction from the bottom of the slit 4 formed on the upper surface of the foam molded body 1 to the reinforcing member 2 and the length (b) in the thickness direction from the lower surface to the reinforcing member 2 ( mm), the difference in force applied by the shrinkage that is different between the upper surface and the lower surface of the reinforcing member 2 can be reduced, so that the warpage of the foam molded body 1 can be further reduced. .

上記の観点から、好ましくは、
|a−b|≦80mm・・・(2)
であり、より好ましくは、
|a−b|≦60mm・・・(3)
であり、さらに好ましくは、
|a−b|≦40mm・・・(4)
である。
From the above viewpoint, preferably,
| A−b | ≦ 80 mm (2)
And more preferably
| A−b | ≦ 60 mm (3)
And more preferably
| A−b | ≦ 40 mm (4)
It is.

一方、自動車用座席シート部材の厚みが厚い場合には、図5に示すように、発泡成形体1の上面及び下面から補強部材2に向けてスリット4が形成されると、発泡成形体1に生じる収縮量をさらにコントロールし易くなることから、発泡成形体1の反りを低減させることが容易となる。このような条件でスリット4を形成することにより、発泡成形体1の収縮により補強部材2にかかる力は分散され、発泡成形体1や補強部材2の反りを抑制することができる。   On the other hand, when the thickness of the seat member for an automobile is large, as shown in FIG. 5, when the slit 4 is formed from the upper surface and the lower surface of the foam molded body 1 toward the reinforcing member 2, Since it becomes easier to control the amount of shrinkage that occurs, it is easy to reduce the warpage of the foamed molded article 1. By forming the slit 4 under such conditions, the force applied to the reinforcing member 2 due to the shrinkage of the foam molded body 1 is dispersed, and the warpage of the foam molded body 1 and the reinforcing member 2 can be suppressed.

この場合には、発泡成形体1の上面に形成したスリット4の底部から補強部材2までの厚み方向の長さ(a)(mm)と、下面に形成したスリット4の底部から補強部材2までの厚み方向の長さ(c)(mm)が下式を満足することが好ましい。
|a−c|≦100mm・・・(5)
好ましくは、
|a−c|≦80mm・・・(6)
であり、より好ましくは、
|a−c|≦60mm・・・(7)
であり、さらに好ましくは、
|a−c|≦40mm・・・(8)
である。
In this case, the length (a) (mm) in the thickness direction from the bottom of the slit 4 formed on the upper surface of the foam molded body 1 to the reinforcing member 2 and the bottom of the slit 4 formed on the lower surface to the reinforcing member 2. It is preferable that the length (c) (mm) in the thickness direction satisfies the following formula.
| A-c | ≦ 100 mm (5)
Preferably,
| Ac- ≦ 80 mm (6)
And more preferably
| Ac | ≦ 60 mm (7)
And more preferably
| Ac | ≦ 40 mm (8)
It is.

なお、発泡成形体1の上面及び下面から補強部材2に向けてスリット4を形成する場合には、上面と下面のスリット4が一対の対向する位置に形成させることもできるが、例えば、上面に形成された2本のスリット4に対する中間に下面のスリット4が形成されても良い。このような場合、前記長さ(a)と(c)は、隣接したスリット4間に対して上式を満足することが好ましい。   In addition, when forming the slit 4 from the upper surface and the lower surface of the foam molded body 1 toward the reinforcing member 2, the upper surface and the lower surface of the slit 4 can be formed at a pair of opposing positions. The slit 4 on the lower surface may be formed in the middle of the two slits 4 formed. In such a case, it is preferable that the lengths (a) and (c) satisfy the above formula with respect to the space between the adjacent slits 4.

前記スリット4を形成する方向は、前記補強部材2と交差するように、製造する自動車用座席シート部材の、形状や大きさに応じて適宜設定する。ここで交差とは、自動車用シート部材を上面から観察する二次元平面において、補強部材2がスリット4と交わって観察される状態のことを意味する。しかし、自動車用座席シート部材においては、自動車用座席シート部材の補強部材2が埋め込まれた部分で反りが生じやすくなるため、自動車用座席シート部材の補強部材2に対して垂直方向に形成するのが好ましい。   The direction in which the slit 4 is formed is appropriately set according to the shape and size of the automobile seat member to be manufactured so as to intersect with the reinforcing member 2. Crossing here means a state in which the reinforcing member 2 is observed crossing the slit 4 in a two-dimensional plane in which the automobile seat member is observed from above. However, in the seat member for automobiles, warping is likely to occur at the portion where the reinforcing member 2 of the seat member for automobiles is embedded. Therefore, the seat member is formed in a direction perpendicular to the reinforcing member 2 of the seat member for automobiles. Is preferred.

また、スリット4を形成する位置は、自動車用座席シート部材の長手方向の長さを等分する位置に形成するのが好ましく、シート部材の長手方向を2等分する位置に形成されてもよいが、さらにスリット4を多く形成させて、3等分する位置に、或いはそれ以上に等分する位置に形成してもよい。   Moreover, it is preferable to form the position which forms the slit 4 in the position which divides the length of the longitudinal direction of a seat sheet member for motor vehicles equally, and may be formed in the position which divides the longitudinal direction of a seat member into 2 equal parts. However, a larger number of slits 4 may be formed, and the slits 4 may be formed at positions that are equally divided into three or more.

形成するスリット4の長さは、図1に示すように、補強部材2を矩形とした場合には、少なくとも補強部材2が埋め込まれた箇所の上面側に垂直方向にスリット4を形成することが好ましい。即ち、図1(C)に示すように補強部材2を2本跨ぐように長く形成してもよいし、図1(A)に示すように補強部材2を1本跨ぐように短く形成してもよい。上記の観点から、スリット4の長さは、補強部材2を跨いで50mm以上形成することが好ましく、100mm以上形成することがさらに好ましい。   As shown in FIG. 1, when the reinforcing member 2 is rectangular, the length of the slit 4 to be formed is that the slit 4 is formed in the vertical direction at least on the upper surface side of the portion where the reinforcing member 2 is embedded. preferable. That is, as shown in FIG. 1 (C), it may be formed long so as to straddle two reinforcing members 2, or as shown in FIG. 1 (A), it may be formed short so as to straddle one reinforcing member 2. Also good. From the above viewpoint, the length of the slit 4 is preferably 50 mm or more and more preferably 100 mm or more across the reinforcing member 2.

形成するスリット4の数は、製造する自動車用座席シート部材の形状や大きさに応じて適宜設定することができ、少なくとも1本、車幅が大きい自動車の自動車用座席シート部材の場合には図1(B)のように3本以上形成することもできる。   The number of slits 4 to be formed can be appropriately set according to the shape and size of the automobile seat sheet member to be manufactured. It is also possible to form three or more as in 1 (B).

本発明の自動車用座席シート部材に形成するスリット4は、成形装置により成形した自動車用座席シート部材を金型から取り出してから反りが発生するまでに、できる限り速やかに形成する必要がある。そのため、金型から取り出してから予め設定した場所及び深さでカッターなどにより切り込みを入れることが好ましい。切り込みを入れてからしばらくすると発泡成形体1の収縮により凹欠したスリット4が形成される。スリット4が形成されることによって、発泡成形体1の個別箇所における収縮力の違いが緩和されて、発泡成形体1に発生する反りが減少する。スリット4の形成は、前記カッターによる切り込みの他、熱線により切り込みを入れたり、予め金型内にスリット4となる切り欠きを形成させておいてもよい。また、形成されるスリット4の幅は、0.1〜20mmであることが好ましく、0.2〜10mmであることがより好ましい。   The slit 4 formed in the automobile seat sheet member of the present invention needs to be formed as quickly as possible from when the automobile seat sheet member molded by the molding apparatus is taken out of the mold until warpage occurs. Therefore, it is preferable to cut with a cutter or the like at a preset location and depth after removal from the mold. A short time after the incision is made, a slit 4 which is recessed due to the shrinkage of the foam molded body 1 is formed. By forming the slits 4, the difference in shrinkage force between the individual portions of the foam molded body 1 is alleviated, and the warp generated in the foam molded body 1 is reduced. The slit 4 may be formed by cutting with a cutter in addition to the cutting by the cutter, or by previously forming a notch to be the slit 4 in the mold. Moreover, it is preferable that it is 0.1-20 mm, and, as for the width | variety of the slit 4 formed, it is more preferable that it is 0.2-10 mm.

以下に、実施例により本発明の自動車用座席シート部材についてさらに詳しく説明するが、本発明はこれらの実施例に何ら限定されるものではない。   EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although the seat sheet member for automobiles of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples, the present invention is not limited to these examples.

図2に示す成形装置で、発泡粒子(ポリプロピレン系樹脂発泡粒子 倍率:30倍、発泡粒子径:約4mm)を、長さ1300mm、幅450mm、厚み150mm、図1に示す発泡成形体形状の金型に充填するとともに、発泡成形体の周縁に沿った図1に示す形状の補強部材を金型に挿入し、スチーム加熱による型内成形を行った。加熱方法は両面の型のドレン弁を開放した状態でスチームを5秒間供給して予備加熱(排気工程)を行った後、成形蒸気圧(通常、0.3MPa(G))より0.08MPa(G)低い圧力で一方加熱を行い、さらにその成形蒸気圧より0.04MPa(G)低い圧力で逆方向から一方加熱を行った後、その成形蒸気圧で、両面から本加熱を行った。加熱終了後、放圧し、30秒間空冷し、240秒間水冷して、ポリプロピレン系樹脂発泡粒子成形体を得た。次いで、金型から取り出した発泡成形体に、カッターナイフを用いて図1(A)〜(D)に示す位置に表1に示す深さのスリットを形成させた。これらの発泡成形体を60℃の雰囲気下で24時間乾燥して養生した後、長さ1300mm、幅450mm、厚み100〜150mmの発泡粒子成形体を得た。なお、補強部材は、発泡成形体において、下面から表1に示す(B)mmの位置に、埋め込まれている。なお、発泡成形体の厚みは、自動車用座席シートとして使用される際に前部となる端部が150mmであり、後部となる端部が100mmとなるように傾斜して形成されている。   In the molding apparatus shown in FIG. 2, foamed particles (polypropylene-based resin foamed particles: magnification: 30 times, foamed particle diameter: about 4 mm) are 1300 mm in length, 450 mm in width, 150 mm in thickness, and in the form of foam molded body shown in FIG. While filling the mold, a reinforcing member having the shape shown in FIG. 1 along the periphery of the foam molded body was inserted into the mold, and in-mold molding was performed by steam heating. In the heating method, steam was supplied for 5 seconds with the drain valves on both sides of the mold opened, and after preliminary heating (exhaust process), the molding vapor pressure (usually 0.3 MPa (G)) to 0.08 MPa ( G) One heating was performed at a low pressure, and one heating was performed in the opposite direction at a pressure 0.04 MPa (G) lower than the molding vapor pressure. Then, the main heating was performed from both sides at the molding vapor pressure. After the heating was completed, the pressure was released, air-cooled for 30 seconds, and water-cooled for 240 seconds to obtain a polypropylene resin foamed particle molded body. Next, slits having the depths shown in Table 1 were formed at the positions shown in FIGS. 1A to 1D using a cutter knife in the foamed molded product taken out from the mold. These foamed molded products were dried and cured in an atmosphere of 60 ° C. for 24 hours, and then foamed particle molded products having a length of 1300 mm, a width of 450 mm, and a thickness of 100 to 150 mm were obtained. The reinforcing member is embedded in the foamed molded body at a position of (B) mm shown in Table 1 from the lower surface. In addition, the thickness of the foamed molded product is formed so as to be inclined such that the front end is 150 mm and the rear end is 100 mm when used as an automobile seat.

実施例1〜4及び比較例1の発泡成形体の反りを以下の方法により測定を行い、評価を行った。   The warpage of the foamed molded articles of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Example 1 was measured and evaluated by the following method.

(製品端部の反り量)
図7(A)に示すように、発泡成形体からなる自動車用座席シート部材の座面側(即ち、補強部材は下面側に偏って埋設されている)を上にして平面に載置し、自動車用座席シート部材の長手方向(自動車の車幅方向)における一方の端部が平面と平行となるように固定した。この際、反りによって他方側の端部は平面から浮き上がっている。浮き上がった端部下面と平面からの垂線の長さを測定して製品端部の反り量(mm)とした。
(Product end warp)
As shown in FIG. 7 (A), the seat surface side of the automobile seat member made of a foamed molded body (that is, the reinforcing member is embedded in the lower surface side) is placed on a plane, It fixed so that one edge part in the longitudinal direction (vehicle width direction of a motor vehicle) of the seat member for motor vehicles might become parallel to a plane. At this time, the end on the other side is lifted from the plane due to the warp. The length of the perpendicular from the bottom surface and the flat surface of the lifted end was measured to obtain the amount of warpage (mm) of the product end.

(正規寸法からの誤差)
図7(B)に示すように、自動車用座席シート部材の座面側を上にして平面に載置し、自動車用座席シート部材の長手方向(自動車の車幅方向)における一方の端部が平面と平行となるように固定し、一方側端部から他方部端部までの長さを測定した。この長さと正規寸法との差を算出し、正規寸法からの誤差とした。これらの結果を表1に示す。
(Error from normal dimensions)
As shown in FIG. 7 (B), the seat surface of the automobile seat is placed on a flat surface, and one end in the longitudinal direction (vehicle width direction of the automobile) of the automobile seat is It fixed so that it might become parallel to a plane, and measured the length from one edge part to the other edge part. The difference between this length and the normal dimension was calculated and taken as an error from the normal dimension. These results are shown in Table 1.

Figure 0006154345
Figure 0006154345

表1より、スリットを形成した実施例1〜4は、スリットを形成しない比較例1に比べて製品端部の反り量及び正規成形寸法からの差が小さく、発泡成形体の反りが低減されており、製品価値に優れていることが分かる。また、実施例1と2を比較すると、スリットが1本形成されている実施例1よりも、スリットが3本形成されている実施例2の発泡成形体の方が、製品端部の反り量及び正規寸法からの誤差が小さいことがわかる。   From Table 1, the Examples 1-4 which formed the slit have the difference from the curvature amount of a product edge part and a regular shaping | molding dimension compared with the comparative example 1 which does not form a slit, and the curvature of a foaming molding is reduced. It can be seen that the product value is excellent. In addition, when Examples 1 and 2 are compared, the amount of warping of the end of the product is greater in the foam molded body of Example 2 in which three slits are formed than in Example 1 in which one slit is formed. It can be seen that the error from the normal dimension is small.

また、別途、スリットを図1Aの位置に上下方向から形成させた以外は実施例1と同様にして自動車用座席シート部材を作成した。この際、発泡成形体の上面に形成したスリットの底部から補強部材までの厚み方向の長さ(a)は25(mm)であり、下面に形成したスリットの底部から補強部材までの厚み方向の長さ(c)は15(mm)であった。従って、a−c=10mmであった。この自動車用座席シート部材の製品端部の反り及び正規寸法差を実施例1と同様にして測定したところ、製品端部の反りは5mmであり、正規寸法差は2.3mmであった。従って、製品の反りが少なく、寸法精度に優れる自動車座席シートであることが分かる。   Separately, an automobile seat member was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the slit was formed in the vertical direction at the position shown in FIG. 1A. At this time, the length (a) in the thickness direction from the bottom of the slit formed on the upper surface of the foamed molded body to the reinforcing member is 25 (mm), and the thickness in the thickness direction from the bottom of the slit formed on the lower surface to the reinforcing member is 25 mm. The length (c) was 15 (mm). Therefore, a−c = 10 mm. When the warpage of the product end portion and the normal dimension difference of this automobile seat sheet member were measured in the same manner as in Example 1, the warp of the product end portion was 5 mm, and the normal dimension difference was 2.3 mm. Therefore, it can be seen that the vehicle seat has less warping of the product and excellent dimensional accuracy.

これらの結果から、本発明の自動車用座席シート部材は、特定の条件でスリットを形成することにより、軽量で、反りが少なく商品価値の極めて優れた自動車用座席シート部材であることが確認された。   From these results, it was confirmed that the seat seat member for automobiles of the present invention is a seat member for automobiles that is lightweight, has little warpage, and has extremely excellent commercial value by forming slits under specific conditions. .

本発明の自動車用座席シート部材は、車両本体に取り付けられるものであるが、前記自動車用座席シート部材の上面や側面には、ウレタンフォームなどの軟質合成樹脂発泡体が積層される。さらに、その積層体の前面、側面及び上部などの外周面を、織編物、ビニールレザー、皮革などの表皮材で被覆されることで自動車座席が形成される。   The automotive seat sheet member of the present invention is attached to a vehicle body, and a soft synthetic resin foam such as urethane foam is laminated on the upper surface and side surfaces of the automotive seat sheet member. Furthermore, an automobile seat is formed by covering the outer peripheral surfaces such as the front surface, the side surface, and the upper portion of the laminate with a skin material such as woven or knitted fabric, vinyl leather, or leather.

なお、軟質合成樹脂発泡体とは、シートクッションの材質として主に使用されている軟質発泡ウレタン、又は軟質発泡ウレタンとは異なる樹脂材料で発泡率を高くして発泡させて軟質にした樹脂発泡体を意味する。本発明の自動車用座席シート部材を用いることによって、前記軟質合成樹脂発泡体の使用量を削減することもでき、軽量性に優れる自動車座席を形成することができる。   Soft synthetic resin foam is a resin foam that is made of soft foamed urethane that is mainly used as a material for seat cushions, or is made of a resin material that is different from soft foamed urethane with a high foaming rate. Means. By using the automobile seat sheet member of the present invention, the amount of the soft synthetic resin foam used can be reduced, and an automobile seat excellent in lightness can be formed.
