As a conventional method for forming such a skin, there is a female vacuum forming method. This method involves heating and softening a thermoplastic sheet with a smooth surface, vacuum forming it using a test mold with an embossed pattern, and simultaneously transferring the embossed pattern on the surface of the mold.

However, in this method, the shape and pattern are formed at the same time, so if an embossed pattern with different heights is to be transferred to the surface, it is necessary to heat the sheet at a higher temperature than in a normal vacuum forming method.

However, if the heating temperature of the sheet is too high, the sheet will become locally thin during molding, and if it is too low, the pattern transferability will be insufficient, which is a contradictory phenomenon, resulting in poor product yield. It was hot.

According to the present invention, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a vacuum-formed skin for an automobile instrument pad, which has an embossed pattern with different heights on its surface. This is achieved by vacuum forming the skin sheet and then further heating the sheet while vacuum suction is applied.

The present invention will be described below with reference to drawings showing embodiments. Figure 1 shows a cross section of the main part of an instrument pad, and the surface of the skin 1 has a shallow leather grain pattern 2 and a large height difference. It has a stitch pattern 3, and the stitches also show the twist 4 of the thread. To make this skin 1, first, a female drawing vacuum forming mold 5 as shown in FIG. 2 is used.
The surface of this vacuum mold has contradictory patterns 2', 3', and 4' of unevenness on the skin 1, and small vacuum suction holes 6 are opened in the surface of the mold. First, the sheet 7 with a smooth surface is heated to the normal vacuum forming temperature and vacuum formed (Figure 3).
However, since the temperature of the sheet is low, about 2 leather grains are transferred, but the thread twist 4 of the stitch 3 is not visible.

Next, while the vacuum is being applied, the sheet containing the stitches 3 is heated from the back side of the skin 1 to near its melting point, as shown in FIG. At this time, twist 4 of the thread is transferred.
The vacuum forming mold 5 used at this time preferably has a porous structure throughout. The sheet heating temperature during molding is determined appropriately depending on the material and thickness of the sheet, but for sheets with a thickness of 0.5 to 1.0 t made of ABS resin modified polyvinyl chloride, a temperature of approximately 140 to 180 degrees Celsius is recommended.
The sheet reheating temperature in the next process is 200-230℃
This reheating method may be any method such as blowing hot air with a hot jet gun or instantaneously heating with a flame such as a burner.
