Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a high-quality cushion with different hardnesses by simple procedures wherein firstly the predetermined portions of a molding tool are covered with shielding plates so as to coat with foam raw material and secondly, after the shielding plates are removed, another foam raw material is poured in the molding tool. CONSTITUTION:Firstly shielding plates 4 and 5 are respectively placed onto the predetermined portion of the flat molding surface 3a of the bottom mold 3 of a molding die and onto both its end portions. [Fig. (a)]. Secondly, high- hardness raw material 2' is applied onto molding surfaces 3 from a spray gun 6. [Fig. (b)]. After being coated, the shielding plates 4 and 5 are removed from the bottom mold 3. After that, finally, low-hardness raw material 1' is poured in the bottom mold 3 from a pouring machine 7. [Fig. (c)]. The coating by spraying is done by forming foamed layers gradually and uniformly so as to accumulate them. Thus, the foaming, cure reaction and the like of the former raw material or high-hardness raw material are done surely and smoothly without cell leakage, void and the like in the vicinity of the surface of the titled cushion.

(Prior Art) Recently, cushions such as molded urethane foam used in automobile seat cushions have been developed with the aim of improving the body's ability to hold the body while the vehicle is in motion. ! 7. Different hardness is widely practiced. - As an example, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the center is entirely soft and has a low hardness portion 1,
There is one in which high hardness portions 2 are provided on both sides.

このような異硬度シートクッションは、従来、次のよう

Conventionally, such seat cushions with different hardness have been manufactured by the following method.

That is, as shown in 1% Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-209385, two pre-formed high-hardness parts 2 are placed facing each other in a mold, and a low-hardness raw material is placed in the gap formed between them. This is a method of manufacturing by injecting.

Alternatively, as another method, a method is widely used in which the inside of the mold is partitioned by a weir or the like, and a low-hardness raw material and a high-hardness raw material are simultaneously injected into the partitioned cavity.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the former method, when setting the pre-formed high-hardness part in a predetermined position, quality defects are likely to occur due to setting errors, and the high-hardness part There is a problem in that poor adhesion is likely to occur in the low hardness portion, and furthermore, there is a problem in that the cost increases because a separate molding equipment is required to preform the high hardness portion.

On the other hand, even in the latter method, since two raw materials with different characteristics are injected into the mold at the same time, quality defects such as cell leakage and cavities are likely to occur at the joints between them, and two injection machines are required. Similar to the former method, this method has the problem of increased costs because it requires a weir to prevent mix-up of raw materials and the shape of the mold becomes complicated.

That is, first, a predetermined portion of the molding surface of the mold is covered with a shielding plate, and a foam raw material (for example, a high-hardness raw material) is applied by spray to the molding surface other than the portion covered by the shielding plate.

(Function) Spray coating does not attempt to supply a large amount of foam raw material to the molding surface at once, unlike injection using an injection machine, but instead attempts to form the entire foam layer by gradually and uniformly accumulating it. It is something to do. Therefore, foaming of one foam raw material.

Then, by covering a predetermined part of the molding surface with a shielding plate,
It becomes possible to apply one foam raw material only to desired locations on the molding surface (such a shielding plate cannot be used when injecting with an injector).

Next, when this shielding plate is removed and another foam raw material is injected onto the foam layer made of the first foam raw material, the surface of this foam layer is scattered with minute pores that are created when the foaming gas escapes. As a result, fine particles of other foam raw materials enter the small pores and harden. Therefore, the adhesion between the foam layer made of one foam raw material and the foam layer made of the other foam raw material at the joint surface becomes very strong.

Next, after the coating by the spray gun 6 is completed, the shielding plate 4.5 is removed from the lower mold 3 circle. This work is necessary because the foaming and curing speed of the high-hardness raw material is extremely fast as mentioned above.
Although it must be done quickly, the terminal parts 4a and 5a
Since the raw material does not adhere to the parts covered by the , the process can be carried out smoothly, and the high hardness foam layer will not peel off.

Then, as shown in (cl), the low hardness raw material 1' is injected into the lower mold 3 by the injection machine 7.The low hardness raw material 1' is a soft urethane foam with an apparent density of about 20 to 601 v/d. At this time, as explained in the action section, the foaming and curing reaction of the high hardness foam layer has already stopped due to the effect of spraying the high hardness raw material 2!, so the low hardness raw material There is no adverse effect on the foaming of 1'.Therefore, as mentioned above, molding defects such as cell leakage and cavities do not occur near the joint, and
Furthermore, since fine 74% pores are scattered, the adhesion at the joint is extremely strong.

The above are the steps related to the basic embodiment of the present invention having characteristic parts, but the manufacturing process further includes a curing step. That is, as shown in (dl), after the injection of the low-hardness raw material V is completed, the upper mold 8 is placed on the lower mold 3, and the heater 9 is placed on the entire upper mold.

In this way, it is possible to obtain an automatic military seat cushion as shown in FIG. It becomes possible to form most of the part with the high hardness part 2. Furthermore, by changing the length and angle of the terminal portion 5a of the shielding plate 5, it is possible to highly harden only the side portions of both sides as shown in FIG. In addition, seat cushions of various shapes can be manufactured by appropriately changing conditions such as the shielding position of the shielding plate, the amount of spray applied, and the spray angle.
