法に関するものである。[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field The present invention relates to a method of applying heat and pressure to workpieces made of thermoplastic plastic, thereby bonding the workpieces together or imparting a certain shape or pattern to the workpieces. The present invention relates to a thermal processing method.

波誘電加熱加工法は次のようにして行なわれる。Prior Art Since thermoplastic plastics soften when the temperature is raised, various heating processing methods such as high-frequency dielectric heating processing and ultrasonic heating processing have been conventionally used to utilize this property. Among them, for example, the high frequency dielectric heating processing method is carried out as follows.
軟質塩化ビニル樹脂フイルムのように高周波損

高周波電圧を加えると、そのフイルムを構成する

ておけば、その加圧物でフイルムに圧力をかける
ことによつて、加圧物の模様はフイルムに転写さ
れる。 When a plastic film with high high-frequency loss, such as a soft vinyl chloride resin film, is inserted between electrodes and a high-frequency voltage is applied, each molecule that makes up the film causes rotational movement due to the high-frequency electric field.
As a result, friction between adjacent molecules generates heat uniformly throughout the film, and the temperature of the film rises due to heating from within. If pressure is applied to the film in this state, if a pair of films is held between the electrodes, they will adhere to each other, and if a certain pattern is applied to the pressurized object in advance, the film will be bonded with the pressurized object. By applying pressure, the pattern of the pressurized object is transferred to the film.
しかし、以上の高周波誘電加熱加工法をはじめ
として、従来のプラスチツクの熱加工法では、目
的とする製品が単なる平面形状ではなく、曲面を
有する立体形状であるときには次のような不都合
があつた。 However, conventional thermal processing methods for plastics, including the above-mentioned high-frequency dielectric heating processing method, have the following disadvantages when the target product is not a simple planar shape but a three-dimensional shape with a curved surface.
すなわち、目的とする製品が曲面等を有する立

均一に圧力がかかりにくく、接着不良や、転写さ
れるべき模様にムラが出るという不都合がある。 In other words, if the target product has a three-dimensional shape with curved surfaces, etc., when applying pressure to the heated plastic with a pressurizer, it is difficult to apply pressure uniformly to the entire plastic, resulting in poor adhesion or uneven transfer. There is an inconvenience that the pattern becomes uneven.

きる。 Further, according to this invention, the cushion is a means to equalize the pressure applied to the plastic to be processed, and since it does not expand greatly, the surface of the cushion hardly stretches, and therefore, when heated,・Adverse effects such as misalignment of the pattern on the surface of the softened plastic are prevented. Furthermore, in this invention, since the plastic to be processed is heated by the upper mold and the lower mold, the pressing force is made uniform by the cushion, and the surface shape of the product is improved. The system can be made more compact and work can be done more quickly.
