Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of forming a cover for storing a module cover of an airbag device.
- the airbag device has an airbag that is rapidly deployed in an emergency such as a vehicle collision.
- the air bag 2 is folded and covered by the module cover 1.
- the airbag 2 is held together with the inflator 4 on a mounting plate 3 called, for example, a retainer, and the module force nozzle 1 is also mounted on the mounting plate 3. It is fixed with a kit 5, screw, bolt, etc.
- the module cover 1 generally has a two-layer structure of a hard layer (core layer) la and a soft layer (skin layer) lb.
- the module cover 1 has an air bag 2.
- a groove-shaped cleavage initiation line that is, tear line 1A, is provided to cleave the force bar when deploying.
- the tear line 1A is a portion having lower strength than the surrounding portion, and is formed as a thin portion having a predetermined shape (generally, a thickness of about 0.5 mm to about L. 0 mm).
- 1C is a makeup line.
- Reference numeral 6 denotes a body cover, and an outer peripheral portion of the module cover 1 has a bead portion which serves as a blindfold of a contact surface with the module cover 1.
- a ridge IB called (welting) is formed and formed.
- a foamed urethane integral glass foam or a thermoplastic plastic is generally used as a module cover material of such an air bag. These resin materials are used and molded into a mold having a predetermined shape.
- the injection molding method is most advantageous because of its good production efficiency, work efficiency, product accuracy, etc. Conceivable .
- the resin material injection port (gate) force remains on the surface of the product, leaving the product aesthetically pleasing.
- the disadvantage is that it significantly damages
- the gate when forming the skin layer is invisible when the product is formed. It is difficult to set them up in places. It is not possible to avoid leaving gate marks on the product surface.
- the present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and a gate mark at the time of injection molding is provided at a blind spot from a vehicle occupant. It is an object of the present invention to provide a molding method of a module cover of a airbag device capable of manufacturing a module cover excellent in view.
- the molding method of the module cover of the airbag device according to the present invention is a method of molding the outer cover layer of the module cover of the airbag device by injection molding of a synthetic resin. It is characterized in that a sub-maling gate is provided on the molding die so as to communicate with the outer surface of the cover that is concealed during use.
- FIG. 1 is a partial sectional view showing an embodiment of a method for forming a module cover of an air bag apparatus of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the airbag device.
- FIG. 3 is a sectional perspective view of a main part of a module cover formed by the method of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the cover is being formed.
- the dies 11, 12, and 14 are combined.
- a gate (not shown) provided in any of dies 11, 12, and 14 is provided.
- the resin is injected to form a core layer la.
- the mold 14 is removed, and instead, the mold 13 having the submarinating 16 is assembled to the molds 11 and 12. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, a cavity 15 is formed outside the core layer 1a.
- the mold 12 has a cavity 15a for forming the bead portion 1B of the module cover 1.
- the cavity 15 a is connected to the cavity 15 formed by the mold 13.
- the sub-maling gate 16 is opened inside the cavity 15a. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the exit of the gate 16 is located closer to the center of the cover than the deepest part of the cavity 15a.
- a resin material for forming the skin layer is injected into the cavity 15 for forming the skin layer formed by the molds 12 and 13 and the core layer 14 through the submarinating 16. To form the skin layer 1b.
- the molded product After forming a two-layered molded product by such two-color molding, the molded product is taken out, and the protrusion formed in the submarinating 16 is removed. leave. As a result, the gate trace 20 remains, but this gate mark 20 is the back of the ball portion 1B of the module 1. Therefore, when the module power bar 1 is attached to the airbag device, the gate trace 20 is completely invisible to the occupants of the vehicle. For this reason, the beauty of the module cover is improved.
- the illustrated example is an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the illustrated method.
- the communication point of the sub-maling gate may be any part that is concealed when using the product module cover, and may be other than the one shown in the figure.
- the present invention is not limited to the two-color molding method, and can be applied to multicolor molding of three or more colors. In any case, at least in forming the outermost surface layer of the module cover, a sub-maringet is used for the mold according to the present invention.
- the gate trace can be visually observed during use.
- they can produce module covers with outstanding aesthetics and high commercial value.
