2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, resin molded products used for automobiles, home appliances, building materials, and the like have been improved in quality by adding added values such as cushioning properties, heat insulating properties, and feeling of touch, and costs have been reduced by reducing the number of molding steps. For downing, a molded product obtained by fusing and integrating a skin sheet having a foamed layer on the back surface or the intermediate layer on the surface of the core layer was bonded and formed by a two-layer molding method as described below. That is, a method of performing two-layer molding using an injection molding machine. A skin sheet is set between both molds that have been opened, a mold is closed and a mold clamping force is applied. A molten resin to be a core layer is injected and filled into the formed mold cavity space by an injection device. After completion of the pressure holding and cooling, the mold is opened and the molded product is taken out. Method of performing two-layer molding using a press molding machine Set a skin sheet between both molds that have been opened, close the mold and maintain a predetermined mold opening amount between the two molds, and form a skin sheet with the skin sheet.

However, such a conventional method has the following problems. (1) When a skin sheet having a foam layer on the back or intermediate layer is fused and integrated to the surface of the core layer, the foam layer becomes hot due to the heat of the core layer resin, and is subjected to a high pressure, so that it is compressed. Because of the immobilization, only molded articles with reduced cushioning properties, heat insulation properties, touch feeling, and the like could be obtained. (2) For this reason, on the premise that the foam layer is fixed in a compressed state at the time of molding, a foam layer that is much thicker than the foam layer originally required for cushioning, heat insulating properties, touch feeling, etc. is used. Although this problem has been countered by using a foam layer made of a material in which the foam layer is difficult to be fixed in a compressed state, it not only increases the cost but also makes it difficult to obtain a good bonded molded product. Met. (3) Under such circumstances, if it is absolutely necessary to obtain a good bonded molded product, a skin sheet having a foamed layer on the back surface or the intermediate layer is added to a solid molded product molded in advance by a normal injection molding method. Although the "hand pasting method" in which the sheets are pasted by hand has been used, there has been a problem that not only the cost is increased but also the productivity is poor.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS By carrying out the present invention, the following preferable molding is carried out. During the integral skin lamination molding, the skin sheet is heated by the heat of the core material resin immediately after injection filling, but the outermost layer in contact with the mold has a film layer or a raised layer as a decorative layer. Therefore, the temperature of the foam layer provided on the back surface or the middle of the skin sheet greatly increases. Thereafter, as the core resin cools, the temperature of the foamed layer also decreases, but during this time, the foamed layer remains compressed. That is, the temperature of the foamed layer during molding rises while being compressed, and is cooled as it is. On the other hand, in the present invention, before the core material resin is cooled, the mold clamping force is removed at the time when the preset mold clamping force holding time has elapsed, and the gap between the skin sheet and the mold cavity surface is reduced. A gap as a heat insulating layer was provided between them. As a result, the heat conduction from the skin sheet to the mold is cut off, and the temperature of the foam layer of the skin sheet can be increased again. A recovery space for self-recovery by elastic force can be secured. As a result, the temperature of the foam layer provided on the back surface or the intermediate layer of the skin sheet exceeds the maximum temperature up to that point for the purpose of imparting cushioning property or heat insulation property, and the foam layer self-heals due to elastic force. In addition, it is possible to achieve the recovery of the original cushioning property, heat insulation property, touch feeling and the like of the skin sheet.

The set mold clamping force holding time t1 is a molding condition most closely related to a phenomenon in which the foam layer of the skin sheet self-recovers due to elastic force. As shown in FIG. 3, the molten resin which becomes the core layer filled in the space of the mold cavity by the injection is deprived of heat by the mold due to heat conduction, and the temperature rapidly decreases immediately after the injection. The temperature gradually decreases to approach the mold temperature. On the other hand, the temperature of the foam layer of the skin sheet rises once immediately after the start of injection due to heat conduction from the molten resin serving as the core layer. Asymptotic to mold temperature. The set mold clamping force holding time t1 is set as the start timing of the mold clamping force removal / mold opening operation during the temperature drop, but care must be taken in setting this time. As shown by the broken line in FIG. 3, the foam layer temperature of the skin sheet decreases as the start timing of the mold opening operation is delayed. However, after the mold opening operation is started, the temperature of the foam layer rises and gradually approaches the core layer temperature. This is because the opening of the mold blocks the heat conduction from the skin sheet to the mold and receives the heat conduction from the calorific value of the core material resin. The foam layer temperature after asymptotically approaching the core layer temperature changes with a temperature change equivalent to the core layer temperature. Even if the start timing of the mold opening operation is delayed, the temperature of the foam layer rises, but it cannot exceed the maximum temperature until then.

The molecular mobility of the polymer in the foamed layer is more active as the foamed layer temperature is higher, and decreases as the temperature decreases. At this time, the thickness of the foam layer is reduced by the amount corresponding to the decrease in the molecular mobility of the polymer due to the temperature difference of the foam layer, while the permanent deformation remains. However, in the conventional molding method, a mold clamping force is applied until the temperature of the foam layer rises and is cooled, and the mold clamping force is a force sufficient to compress the foam layer. For this reason, the compressed foam layer leaves a permanent compression set by the difference in the mobility of the polymer molecules corresponding to the temperature difference. However, according to the method of the present invention, the temperature of the foamed layer rises again by performing the mold opening operation and becomes equal to or higher than the temperature at the time of compression, so that compression set does not remain. Therefore, the timing at which the temperature information of the foam layer of the skin sheet measured by the temperature sensor 8 and displayed on the temperature monitor 64 reaches the maximum temperature is confirmed, and at this timing, the set mold clamping force is set to start the mold opening operation. It is desirable to adopt the holding time t1 in order not to leave permanent deformation of the foam layer. On the other hand, the cooling degree required from the viewpoint of the shaping of the core layer is also taken into consideration, and the set clamping force holding time t1 is determined based on a balance between the two.

In this embodiment, when the measured time t1 of the timer which starts counting when the pressure-holding step is completed coincides with the preset mold-clamping-force holding time ta set in advance, the mold-clamping force is removed and the mold-opening operation is started. However, the present invention is not limited to this. When the measured temperature of the foam layer of the skin sheet S detected by the temperature sensor 8 reaches a preset temperature, the mold clamping force is removed. Alternatively, the mold opening operation may be performed.

The set mold opening Wa is determined by providing a gap as a heat insulating layer between the skin sheet and the mold cavity surface to block heat conduction from the skin sheet to the mold, and to reduce the thickness of the foam layer. Set for the purpose of securing space for recovery. From the viewpoint of the latter purpose, the set mold opening amount Wa is desirably equal to or more than the thickness of the foam layer.
The effect can be obtained even with a small mold opening (0.1 mm). The same effect can be obtained even if a mold opening amount larger than the thickness of the foam layer is set for other molding reasons. The set mold open position holding time tb is set at a temperature higher than the maximum temperature of the foam layer during lamination molding, as a time required for the foam layer to self-recover by elastic force and a time required for cooling the core material resin. It has been confirmed by experiments that sufficient effects can be obtained within the normal cooling time of the core resin. In this embodiment, the skin sheet is stuck on only one side, but it may be stuck on both sides of the core resin if necessary. Further, a soft resin material such as urethane or elastomer may be used as the core material resin.
