And a second portion 82 located between 81 and 83. Part 1 81 is mainly viewed by people in the room Includes 8 lb, 81c recognized viewing surface. The curved end portion 83 is subjected to R processing (processing for rounding the corner portion) at the corner portion on the front surface 80a side and the corner portion on the back surface 80b side of the design nonlinear 80, and has R surfaces 83a and 83b. The curved end portion 83 also includes a flat surface 83c located between the R surfaces 83a and 83b. The surface of the curved end portion 83 is composed of the R surfaces 83a and 83b and the flat surface 83c. The second part 82 is located between the first part 81 and the curved end 83, and includes a flat surface 82a on the surface 80a side that connects the viewing surfaces 81b, 81c and the R surface 83a. Here, the viewing surfaces 81b and 81c and the R surface 83a are separated by about 1. Omm. Since the flat surface 82a is used as a reference in the cutting process described later, the viewing surfaces 81b and 81c and the R surface 83a must be separated by at least 0.5 mm.

In addition, in the first part 81, the force second part 82 and the curved end part 83 in which the coating layer 20 is formed on the surface of the resin layer 10 are composed only of the resin layer 10. The flat surface 82a of the second portion 82 is 1.0 to 1.5 on the back surface 82b side of the second portion 82 with respect to the surface 8 la in the vicinity of the second portion 82 of the resin layer 10 of the first portion 81. Inclined by degrees. The partial force in the vicinity of the second part 82 of the coating layer 20 of the first part 81 is a flat surface (viewing surface) 81c continuous with the flat surface 82a of the second part 82.

The above-described design panel 80 is an in-mold type in which after the resin layer 10 is formed 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 a coating 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 the first step, as shown in FIG. 5 (A), the resin layer 10 is molded in the molds 51 and 52 to make the resin layer molded article 11. Here, the R surfaces 83a and 83b of the curved end 83, the plane 82a of the second part 82, the surface 81a in the vicinity of the second part 82 of the first part 81, etc. are also formed into a final shape. 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. The state shown in FIG. 5 (B) 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. A thermosetting paint is used as the paint. Injector 54 is used to inject paint. Injector 54 is connected to a measuring cylinder (not shown) and a paint tank, and is formed in the mold 51 to inject liquid paint from a paint inlet.

[0021] Next, in the fourth step after the third step, the molds 51 and 52 are brought closer again, that is, the molds 51 and 52 are placed in the mold-clamped state, and the paint injected in the third step Is cured. Here, it is required to quickly put the molds 51 and 52 into the mold-clamped state before 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.

By 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.

In the designed panel molded product 15 removed from the molds 51 and 52 after the fourth step, the end of the coating layer 20 does not have the final shape of the designed panel 80 as shown by the dotted line in FIG. Therefore, following the first through fourth steps, finishing cutting is performed in the fifth step.

[0022] In the fifth step, the end of the coating layer 20 of the design panel molded article 15 is formed on the flat surface 82a of the resin layer 10.

Cutting is performed with reference to (the plane 82a of the second part 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 80a of the design panel 80, from the front side, the viewing surfaces 81b and 81c of the coating layer 20 of the first part 81, the plane 82a of the second part 82, and the curved end 83 The R face 83a is formed in a continuous state.

In the design panel 80 of the air conditioner 1, the viewing surfaces 81b and 81c of the first part 81 and the R surface 83a of the curved end 83 are connected to the flat surface 82a of the second part 82, and the first part 81 Since the vicinity of the second portion 82 of the paint layer 20 is continuous with the flat surface 82a of the second portion 82, the design panel 80 looks good. 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. Furthermore, 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 toward the back surface 82b side with respect to the front surface 81a of the resin layer 10 of the first part 81. Curved end Since it is connected to the R surface 83a of the part 83, the design of the design panel 80 is hardly deteriorated.

In other words, in the method for producing the design panel 80 of the air conditioner 1, the design in which the coating layer 20 is formed on the resin layer molded article 11 in the first to fourth steps! The ability to obtain a panel molded product 15 S. Then, by cutting the end portion of the coating layer 20 of the design panel molded article 15 in the fifth step, the viewing surface 81c, which is a cut surface of the coating layer 20, the flat surface 82a of the second portion 82 composed of the resin layer 10, and the resin layer 10 A design panel 80 in which the curved surface 83 of the curved end 83 is a continuous surface is completed. As described above, the design panel 80 is improved in that the viewing 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 are continuous surfaces. At the same time, 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.
