Description
本発明は、複数種類の繊維によって構成される三つの層を積層してなる車両用内装材に関する。 The present invention relates to a vehicle interior material formed by laminating three layers composed of a plurality of types of fibers.
従来より車両の荷室等を構成するパネルに対して、繊維から成る内装材を設置することで意匠性や吸音性を得ることが知られている。車両の荷室等は深い凹凸形状を有し、それに沿う形状の内装材が必要なので、内装材には優れた絞り成形性が求められる。また、軽量に構成する必要もある。さらに車両が炎天下に長時間おかれた場合でも変形が生じないように、耐熱変形性も必要である。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it has been known that design properties and sound absorption are obtained by installing an interior material made of fibers on a panel constituting a luggage compartment of a vehicle. Since the cargo compartment of a vehicle has a deep uneven shape and an interior material having a shape corresponding to the shape is required, the interior material is required to have excellent drawability. Moreover, it is necessary to comprise in a lightweight. Furthermore, heat-resistant deformation is also necessary so that deformation does not occur even when the vehicle is left under the hot sun for a long time.
このような観点から、車両用内装材として複数の繊維からなる繊維積層体を用いることが知られている。例えば特許文献1には、ポリエステル系繊維(高融点繊維)と、繊維間の融着を目的とするポリプロピレン系繊維(中融点繊維)を所定比率で混合した三層の繊維積層体からなる車両用内装材が開示されている。この内装材は、加熱によりポリプロピレン系繊維(中融点繊維)を部分的に溶融した状態とし、積層体をプレス成形で所望形状に成形することで、ポリエステル系繊維(高融点繊維)がその形状で固まることを助長する機能(保形性)を持つとされている。 From such a point of view, it is known to use a fiber laminate composed of a plurality of fibers as a vehicle interior material. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a vehicle made of a three-layer fiber laminate in which polyester fibers (high melting point fibers) and polypropylene fibers (medium melting point fibers) for fusion between the fibers are mixed at a predetermined ratio. An interior material is disclosed. This interior material is a state in which the polypropylene fibers (medium melting point fibers) are partially melted by heating, and the laminated body is formed into a desired shape by press molding so that the polyester fibers (high melting point fibers) have the shape. It is said that it has a function (shape retention) to help solidify.
しかし、発明者らが検討した結果、特許文献1の内装材は、高融点繊維間を部分的に溶融した中融点繊維が融着するだけなので、車両用内装材の剛性が不足する。 However, as a result of investigations by the inventors, the interior material of Patent Document 1 has insufficient rigidity of the vehicle interior material because only the medium melting point fibers that are partially melted between the high melting point fibers are fused.
特許文献2には、高軟化点ポリエステル系ステープル繊維と低軟化点ポリエステル系ステープル繊維(熱融着繊維)を含む繊維積層体からなる自動車用トランクフロアカーペットが開示されている。このフロアカーペットは、繊維の交点が熱融着繊維によって接着され、接着点により繊維間の拘束がなされるので、剛性が向上するとされている。 Patent Document 2 discloses a trunk floor carpet for an automobile which is made of a fiber laminate including a high softening point polyester staple fiber and a low softening point polyester staple fiber (heat fusion fiber). This floor carpet is said to have improved rigidity because the intersections of the fibers are bonded by heat-bonding fibers, and the fibers are constrained by the bonding points.
しかし、発明者らが検討した結果、特許文献2のフロアカーペットは、低融点コポリエステルが表面の一部を占める芯鞘型の熱融着繊維のみにより繊維間を拘束するので、繊維積層体が高温下におかれた場合、低融点コポリエステルが軟化して繊維間の拘束がゆるんでしまうおそれがあり、耐熱性が懸念される。 However, as a result of investigations by the inventors, the floor carpet of Patent Document 2 is constrained between the fibers only by the core-sheath type heat-sealing fibers in which the low-melting point copolyester occupies a part of the surface. When placed under a high temperature, the low-melting point copolyester may soften and loosen the restraint between the fibers, and there is a concern about heat resistance.
本発明の目的は、意匠性(手触り感を含む)を維持しながら剛性が高く、かつ耐熱変形性に優れた車両用内装材を提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle interior material having high rigidity and excellent heat deformation resistance while maintaining designability (including touch feeling).
本発明は、車両内部の形状に合わせて絞り成形して敷設される車両用内装材であって、
表層、中間層及び裏層の三層が積層して構成され、
前記表層、前記中間層及び前記裏層の三層は、中融点繊維と、前記中融点繊維よりも融点が高い高融点繊維と、前記中融点繊維よりも融点が低い樹脂を少なくとも表面に有する低融点繊維とからなり、
前記表層における前記低融点繊維の割合は1〜15質量%、前記中融点繊維の割合は15〜55質量%、前記高融点繊維の割合は40〜80質量%であり、
前記中間層における前記低融点繊維の割合は10〜50質量%、前記中融点繊維の割合は40〜75質量%、前記高融点繊維の割合は5〜40質量%であり、
前記裏層における前記低融点繊維の割合は1〜15質量%、前記中融点繊維の割合は15〜55質量%、前記高融点繊維の割合は40〜80質量%であり、
少なくとも一部の前記低融点繊維の表面の樹脂が溶融して、繊維同士の架橋点を点状に融着しており、
少なくとも一部の前記中融点繊維が溶融して、他の繊維同士の間に面状に融着していることを特徴とする車両用内装材である。
The present invention is an interior material for a vehicle that is laid and drawn according to the shape inside the vehicle,
It is composed of three layers, a surface layer, an intermediate layer, and a back layer,
The three layers of the surface layer, the intermediate layer, and the back layer have at least a medium melting point fiber, a high melting point fiber having a higher melting point than the medium melting point fiber, and a resin having a lower melting point than the medium melting point fiber on the surface. Consisting of melting point fiber,
The ratio of the low melting point fiber in the surface layer is 1 to 15% by mass, the ratio of the medium melting point fiber is 15 to 55% by mass, and the ratio of the high melting point fiber is 40 to 80% by mass.
The ratio of the low melting point fiber in the intermediate layer is 10 to 50% by mass, the ratio of the medium melting point fiber is 40 to 75% by mass, and the ratio of the high melting point fiber is 5 to 40% by mass.
The ratio of the low melting point fiber in the back layer is 1 to 15% by mass, the ratio of the medium melting point fiber is 15 to 55% by mass, and the ratio of the high melting point fiber is 40 to 80% by mass.
The resin on the surface of at least a part of the low-melting fiber is melted, and the cross-linking points between the fibers are fused in a dot shape,
An interior material for a vehicle, wherein at least a part of the medium melting point fibers are melted and are fused in a planar shape between other fibers.
本発明においては、低融点繊維の表面の樹脂が溶融して繊維同士の架橋点を点状に融着するので、この点状融着箇所により剛性が向上する。また中融点繊維が溶融して繊維同士の間に面状に融着するので、この面状融着箇所により耐熱性(特に耐熱変形性)が向上する。その結果、意匠性(手触り感を含む)を維持しながら剛性が高く、かつ耐熱変形性に優れた車両用内装材を提供できる。 In the present invention, since the resin on the surface of the low-melting fiber is melted and the cross-linking points between the fibers are fused in a dotted manner, the rigidity is improved by the dotted fused portion. In addition, since the medium melting point fibers are melted and fused in a planar shape between the fibers, the heat resistance (particularly, the heat distortion resistance) is improved by the planar fused portion. As a result, it is possible to provide an interior material for a vehicle that has high rigidity and excellent heat deformation resistance while maintaining design properties (including a feeling of touch).
図1は、本発明の車両用内装材を構成する繊維積層体の一例を示す模式的断面図である。この繊維積層体は、表層1と、中間層2と、裏層3の三層をこの順で積層した構成からなる。各層1〜3は実質的に繊維のみから構成されるので、配合の調整がし易く、深い絞り成形に適し、軽量で吸音性に優れた車両用内装材が得られる。また、熱変形性に優れた表層1及び裏層3で中間層2を挟持するサンドイッチ構造からなるので、加熱時の反りも生じ難い。 FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of a fiber laminate constituting the vehicle interior material of the present invention. This fiber laminate has a configuration in which three layers of a surface layer 1, an intermediate layer 2, and a back layer 3 are laminated in this order. Since each layer 1 to 3 is substantially composed of only fibers, it is easy to adjust the blending, and it is suitable for deep drawing, and is lightweight and has excellent sound absorbing properties. In addition, since it has a sandwich structure in which the intermediate layer 2 is sandwiched between the surface layer 1 and the back layer 3 excellent in heat deformability, warping during heating hardly occurs.
表層1、中間層2及び裏層3の三層は、中融点繊維と、中融点繊維よりも融点が高い高融点繊維と、中融点繊維よりも融点が低い樹脂を少なくとも表面に有する低融点繊維とからなる。これら三種類の繊維を特定割合で配合して各層1〜3を形成し、繊維積層体を加熱して絞り成形することにより、各繊維が各々異なる作用を奏し、その結果全体として優れた性能を有する内装材が得られる。具体的には、高融点繊維は本質的な構成材(基本繊維)として機能し、中融点繊維は他の繊維同士の面状融着の為に機能し、低融点繊維は繊維同士の架橋の為に機能する。 The three layers of the surface layer 1, the intermediate layer 2 and the back layer 3 are low melting point fibers having at least a medium melting point fiber, a high melting point fiber having a higher melting point than the medium melting point fiber, and a resin having a lower melting point than the middle melting point fiber. It consists of. These three kinds of fibers are blended at a specific ratio to form each layer 1 to 3, and the fiber laminate is heated and drawn to form each fiber. The interior material which has is obtained. Specifically, the high melting point fiber functions as an essential component (basic fiber), the medium melting point fiber functions for planar fusion between other fibers, and the low melting point fiber is a cross-link between the fibers. It works for you.
図2は、本発明の車両用内装材の一例を示す断面写真(50倍)である。中間層2は、表層1及び裏層3よりも溶融成分(低融点繊維、中融点繊維)の割合が高いので、予備加熱や絞り成形を行った後は繊維間が溶融成分によって密に詰まり、密度が高くなり、硬い層になっている。一方、表層1及び裏層3は溶融成分(低融点繊維、中融点繊維)の割合が低いので、繊維間に空隙が多く残り、密度が低く、意匠的な風合いが良好な層になっている。 FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional photograph (50 ×) showing an example of the vehicle interior material of the present invention. The intermediate layer 2 has a higher proportion of the melted component (low melting point fiber, medium melting point fiber) than the surface layer 1 and the back layer 3, so that after the preheating and drawing, the fibers are closely packed with the melted component, The density is high and the layer is hard. On the other hand, the surface layer 1 and the back layer 3 have a low ratio of melt components (low-melting fiber, medium-melting fiber), so that a lot of voids remain between the fibers, the density is low, and the design texture is good. .
車両用内装材は、繊維積層体全体としての適度な通気度を有する。通気度は内装材の吸音性能に影響するので、内装材を敷設する車両の要求に合わせて調整すれば良い。繊維のみから構成した積層体は、繊維の径や集積度を変えることで通気度を容易に調整できる。通気度は、通常70〜120cm3/cm2/secが好ましい。この通気度はJIS L1096に準じて測定した値である。 The vehicle interior material has an appropriate air permeability as the entire fiber laminate. Since the air permeability affects the sound absorption performance of the interior material, it may be adjusted according to the requirements of the vehicle on which the interior material is laid. The laminate composed of only fibers can easily adjust the air permeability by changing the fiber diameter and the degree of integration. The air permeability is usually preferably from 70 to 120 cm 3 / cm 2 / sec. This air permeability is a value measured according to JIS L1096.
表層1、中間層2及び裏層3の単位面積質量(目付け)は、各々50〜300g/m2、300〜900g/m2、30〜300g/m2が好ましい。表層1及び裏層3の合計単位面積質量は、中間層2の単位面積質量の30〜90%であることが好ましい。また、熱変形により生じる反りの抑制の点から、表層1と裏層3の単位面積質量の差0は±50g/m2以内であることが好ましい。 Surface 1, the mass per unit area of the intermediate layer 2 and the back layer 3 (basis weight), respectively 50~300g / m 2, 300~900g / m 2, 30~300g / m 2 is preferred. The total unit area mass of the surface layer 1 and the back layer 3 is preferably 30 to 90% of the unit area mass of the intermediate layer 2. Further, from the viewpoint of suppressing warpage caused by thermal deformation, the difference 0 in unit area mass between the surface layer 1 and the back layer 3 is preferably within ± 50 g / m 2 .
表層1、中間層2及び裏層3の厚さは、各々0.3〜1.2mm、1.2〜6.4mm、0.3〜1.2mmが好ましい。このように中間層2よりも表層1及び裏層3が薄いサンドイッチ構造においては、表層1及び裏層3中の高融点繊維の割合を高めることにより、繊維積層体全体の剛性を向上できる。 The thicknesses of the surface layer 1, the intermediate layer 2, and the back layer 3 are preferably 0.3 to 1.2 mm, 1.2 to 6.4 mm, and 0.3 to 1.2 mm, respectively. Thus, in the sandwich structure in which the surface layer 1 and the back layer 3 are thinner than the intermediate layer 2, the rigidity of the entire fiber laminate can be improved by increasing the ratio of the high melting point fibers in the surface layer 1 and the back layer 3.
以下、各層1〜3を構成する三種の繊維について説明する。 Hereinafter, three kinds of fibers constituting each of layers 1 to 3 will be described.
<中融点繊維>
中融点繊維は、繊維積層体の予備加熱や絞り成形の際に溶融して、他の繊維間を面状に融着する機能を有する。具体的には、中融点繊維は繊維積層体の成形時の予備加熱(200℃程度)等によって溶融し、絞り成形時の圧力で面状に広がって、隣接する他の繊維(高融点繊維や低融点繊維が芯鞘繊維の場合の芯)同士を面状に融着するバインダーとなる。これにより、車両内装材の耐熱変形性、剛性を向上できる。
<Medium melting point fiber>
The medium melting point fiber has a function of melting when the fiber laminate is preheated or drawn, and fusing other fibers in a planar shape. Specifically, the medium melting point fiber is melted by preheating (about 200 ° C.) or the like at the time of forming the fiber laminate, spreads in a planar shape by the pressure at the time of drawing, and other adjacent fibers (high melting point fiber or It becomes a binder that fuses the cores in the case where the low melting point fibers are core-sheath fibers. Thereby, the heat-resistant deformation property and rigidity of a vehicle interior material can be improved.
中融点繊維としては、例えば、車両用内装材の耐熱試験温度として一般的な80〜90℃においても軟化が生じないものを使用する。特に、中融点繊維の軟化点は140〜160℃が好ましく、145〜155℃がより好ましい。また、融点は150〜180℃が好ましく、155〜165℃がより好ましい。 As the medium melting point fiber, for example, a fiber that does not soften even at a general heat resistance test temperature of 80 to 90 ° C. is used. In particular, the softening point of the medium melting point fiber is preferably 140 to 160 ° C, more preferably 145 to 155 ° C. Moreover, 150-180 degreeC is preferable and melting | fusing point has more preferable 155-165 degreeC.
中融点繊維の具体例としては、ポリプロピレン樹脂繊維(融点160〜165℃)が挙げられる。繊維径は3〜12デシテックス程度が好ましく、平均繊維長は30〜120mm程度が好ましい。ポリプロピレン樹脂繊維は軽量な繊維なので、軽量化の効果も得られる。ただし、ポリプロピレン樹脂繊維以外の繊維であっても、同程度の融点や繊維径を有するものであれば好適に使用できる。 Specific examples of the medium melting point fiber include polypropylene resin fibers (melting point: 160 to 165 ° C.). The fiber diameter is preferably about 3 to 12 dtex, and the average fiber length is preferably about 30 to 120 mm. Since the polypropylene resin fiber is a lightweight fiber, the effect of weight reduction can be obtained. However, fibers other than polypropylene resin fibers can be suitably used as long as they have similar melting points and fiber diameters.
<高融点繊維>
高融点繊維は、中融点繊維よりも融点が高い繊維である。繊維積層体の成形時の予備加熱や絞り成形時においても溶融せず、内装材を構成する基本繊維の役割を担うものである。高融点繊維の融点は、235〜265℃が好ましく、240〜260℃がより好ましい。
<High melting point fiber>
The high melting point fiber is a fiber having a higher melting point than the medium melting point fiber. It does not melt at the time of preheating or drawing at the time of forming the fiber laminate, and plays the role of the basic fiber constituting the interior material. The melting point of the high melting point fiber is preferably 235 to 265 ° C, and more preferably 240 to 260 ° C.
高融点繊維としては、従来より車両用内装材の用途に使用可能なことが知られている各種の繊維を用いることができる。その好適な具体例としては、ポリエチレンテレフタレート樹脂繊維(融点255〜260℃)が挙げられる。高融点繊維の繊維径は1〜10デシテックス程度が好ましく、平均繊維長は30〜120mm程度が好ましい。ただし、ポリエチレンテレフタレート樹脂繊維以外の繊維であっても、同程度の融点や繊維径を有するものであれば好適に使用できる。 As the high melting point fiber, various kinds of fibers that are conventionally known to be usable for use in vehicle interior materials can be used. Specific examples thereof include polyethylene terephthalate resin fibers (melting point: 255 to 260 ° C.). The fiber diameter of the high melting point fiber is preferably about 1 to 10 dtex, and the average fiber length is preferably about 30 to 120 mm. However, even fibers other than polyethylene terephthalate resin fibers can be suitably used as long as they have similar melting points and fiber diameters.
<低融点繊維>
低融点繊維は、中融点繊維よりも融点が低い樹脂(低融点樹脂)を少なくとも表面に有する繊維である。低融点繊維の表面の樹脂は、繊維積層体の予備加熱や絞り成形の際に溶融して、繊維同士の架橋点を点状に融着する機能を有する。具体的には、低融点繊維の表面の低融点樹脂は繊維積層体の成形時の予備加熱(200℃程度)等によって溶融し、隣接する繊維(高融点繊維や低融点繊維が芯鞘繊維の場合の芯)同士を点状に架橋融着するバインダーとなる。これにより、例えばニードルパンチによって絡み合った低融点繊維と高融点繊維との交絡点を低融点樹脂が点状に融着する。そして、この低融点繊維の点状の融着箇所により剛性を向上できる。
<Low melting point fiber>
The low melting point fiber is a fiber having a resin (low melting point resin) having a melting point lower than that of the medium melting point fiber at least on the surface. The resin on the surface of the low-melting fiber has a function of melting at the time of preliminary heating or drawing of the fiber laminate and fusing the cross-linking points between the fibers in a dot shape. Specifically, the low melting point resin on the surface of the low melting point fiber is melted by preheating (about 200 ° C.) at the time of forming the fiber laminate, and adjacent fibers (high melting point fibers or low melting point fibers are core-sheath fibers). In this case, it becomes a binder that crosslinks and fuses the cores in the case of dots. Thereby, for example, the low melting point resin fuses the entanglement point between the low melting point fiber and the high melting point fiber entangled by the needle punch in a dot shape. And rigidity can be improved by the point-like fusion location of this low melting point fiber.
低融点繊維としては、例えば、芯鞘構造又はサイドバイサイド構造のコンジュゲート構造繊維を使用できる。中でも、高融点繊維(特に併用する高融点繊維と同種の繊維)を芯とし、低融点樹脂を表面に鞘状に有する芯鞘構造の繊維が好ましい。このような芯鞘構造繊維を使用する場合、その芯部は溶融せずに、高融点繊維と共に内装材を構成する基本繊維の役割を担うことができる。 As the low melting point fiber, for example, a conjugate structure fiber having a core-sheath structure or a side-by-side structure can be used. Among these, a core-sheath fiber having a high melting point fiber (particularly the same type of fiber as the high melting point fiber used in combination) and a low melting point resin in the form of a sheath is preferable. When such a core-sheath structure fiber is used, the core part does not melt, but can play the role of a basic fiber constituting the interior material together with the high melting point fiber.
芯鞘構造の繊維の芯部としては、例えば、ポリエチレンテレフタレート系繊維、ポリブチレンテレフタレート系繊維、ポリエチレンナフタレート系繊維を使用できる。芯部の融点の好適範囲は先に説明した高融点繊維の場合と同様である。特に入手容易性や融点の点から、ポリエチレンテレフタレート樹脂繊維が好ましい。鞘部の低融点樹脂としては、例えば、ポリエチレンテレフタレートにイソフタル酸等の単量体を共重合させて融点を低下させたポリエステル系熱融着性樹脂を好適に使用できる。低融点樹脂の軟化点は80〜100℃が好ましく、融点は100〜120℃が好ましい。
また、低融点繊維の繊維径は1〜10デシテックス程度が好ましく、平均繊維長は30〜120mm程度が好ましい。
For example, polyethylene terephthalate fiber, polybutylene terephthalate fiber, or polyethylene naphthalate fiber can be used as the core of the core-sheath fiber. The preferable range of the melting point of the core is the same as that of the high melting point fiber described above. In particular, polyethylene terephthalate resin fibers are preferable from the viewpoint of availability and melting point. As the low melting point resin for the sheath, for example, a polyester heat-fusible resin having a melting point lowered by copolymerizing a monomer such as isophthalic acid with polyethylene terephthalate can be suitably used. The softening point of the low melting point resin is preferably 80 to 100 ° C, and the melting point is preferably 100 to 120 ° C.
The fiber diameter of the low melting point fiber is preferably about 1 to 10 dtex, and the average fiber length is preferably about 30 to 120 mm.
<中融点繊維と低融点繊維の作用の違い>
中融点繊維は全融タイプの繊維であり、溶融して他の繊維同士の間に面状に融着するので、主に耐熱性(特に耐熱変形性)の向上に大きく寄与する。一方、低融点繊維は、その表面の低融点樹脂が溶融して繊維同士の架橋点を点状に融着するので、主に剛性の向上に大きく寄与する。
<Difference in the action of medium melting point fibers and low melting point fibers>
The medium melting point fiber is an all-melting type fiber, and melts and fuses in a plane between other fibers, so that it largely contributes to the improvement of heat resistance (particularly heat distortion resistance). On the other hand, the low melting point fiber largely contributes to the improvement of rigidity because the low melting point resin on the surface is melted and the cross-linking points of the fibers are fused in a dot shape.
耐熱性の観点から両繊維を比較すると、中融点繊維は、先に述べた通り車両用内装材の耐熱試験温度(80〜90℃)においても軟化が生じない程度の耐熱性を有するものであり、しかも繊維間を面状に融着するので、繊維同士のずれの抑制によっても耐熱変形性を向上できる。一方、低融点繊維の融点や軟化点が例えば110℃近傍の範囲にあると、車両用内装材の耐熱試験温度(80〜90℃)でいくらかの軟化が生じる。また、繊維間を点状に融着するだけなので、繊維同士のずれの抑制の点では中融点繊維よりも不利である。 Comparing both fibers from the viewpoint of heat resistance, the medium melting point fibers have heat resistance that does not cause softening even at the heat resistance test temperature (80 to 90 ° C.) of the vehicle interior material as described above. Moreover, since the fibers are fused in a planar shape, the heat distortion resistance can be improved also by suppressing the deviation between the fibers. On the other hand, when the melting point and softening point of the low melting point fiber are in the range of, for example, around 110 ° C., some softening occurs at the heat resistance test temperature (80 to 90 ° C.) of the vehicle interior material. In addition, since the fibers are merely fused in the form of dots, it is more disadvantageous than the medium melting point fibers in terms of suppressing the shift between the fibers.
剛性の観点から両繊維を比較すると、面状に融着する中融点繊維よりも、点状に融着する低融点繊維の方が剛性に大きく寄与する。 Comparing both fibers from the viewpoint of rigidity, the low melting point fibers fused in a spot shape contribute more greatly to the rigidity than the medium melting point fibers fused in a planar shape.
各層に応じて好適な割合は異なるが、中融点繊維については、繊維間に十分に面状融着できるように層中の割合を比較的高くし、低融点繊維については、層中の割合が高過ぎると耐熱性が低下するので、比較的低い割合にすると良い。 Although the preferred ratio differs depending on each layer, for the medium melting point fiber, the ratio in the layer is relatively high so that the sheet can be sufficiently fused in a plane, and for the low melting point fiber, the ratio in the layer is If it is too high, the heat resistance will decrease, so a relatively low ratio is preferable.
図3(a)〜(c)は繊維の融着部の詳細を示す断面写真である。ここでは、繊維と繊維の間が点状に繋がれた点状融着部と、繊維と繊維の間が面状に繋がれた面状融着部が混在していることが分かる。 FIGS. 3A to 3C are cross-sectional photographs showing details of the fused portion of the fiber. Here, it can be seen that a point-like fused portion where the fibers are connected in a dot-like manner and a surface fused portion where the fibers are connected in a planar shape are mixed.
点状融着部とは、低融点繊維の表面の樹脂が溶融して、例えば低融点繊維の芯部同士の交絡点あるいは低融点繊維の芯部と高融点繊維の交絡点が、その樹脂によって融着している部分である。一方、面状融着部とは、中融点繊維が溶融してその繊維形状を留めることなく、絞り成形時の圧力で溶融繊維が面状に広がった塊部分である。この面状の塊部分中にも高融点繊維や低融点繊維が存在するので、隣接する高融点繊維同士、隣接する低融点繊維の芯部同士、あるいは隣接する高融点繊維と低融点繊維の芯部とが、面状の塊部分をバインダーとして融着することになる。点状融着部は主として剛性の向上に寄与し、面状融着部は主として耐熱性(特に耐熱変形性)に寄与し、その結果、剛性及び耐熱性の両方をバランス良く高めることができる。 The point fusion part is a resin melted on the surface of the low melting point fiber. For example, the entanglement point between the core parts of the low melting point fiber or the entanglement point of the core part of the low melting point fiber and the high melting point fiber is caused by the resin. It is the fused part. On the other hand, the planar fused portion is a lump portion in which the melted fibers spread in a planar shape by the pressure at the time of drawing without melting the middle melting point fiber and retaining its fiber shape. Since high melting point fibers and low melting point fibers are also present in this planar lump portion, adjacent high melting point fibers, adjacent low melting point fiber cores, or adjacent high melting point fibers and low melting point fiber cores The part is fused with the planar lump portion as a binder. The point-like fused portion mainly contributes to improvement in rigidity, and the planar fused portion mainly contributes to heat resistance (particularly heat-resistant deformation), and as a result, both rigidity and heat resistance can be improved in a well-balanced manner.
<各繊維の割合>
表層及び裏層における低融点繊維の割合は1〜15質量%、中融点繊維の割合は15〜55質量%、高融点繊維の割合は40〜80質量%である。このように高融点繊維の割合を比較的高くすることにより意匠性や手触り感を向上し、かつ低融点繊維と中融点繊維を併用することにより剛性及び耐熱性のバランスをとることができる。
<Ratio of each fiber>
The ratio of the low melting point fiber in the surface layer and the back layer is 1 to 15% by mass, the ratio of the medium melting point fiber is 15 to 55% by mass, and the ratio of the high melting point fiber is 40 to 80% by mass. Thus, the design and the feeling of touch can be improved by relatively increasing the proportion of the high melting point fiber, and the rigidity and heat resistance can be balanced by using the low melting point fiber and the medium melting point fiber together.
表層及び裏層における低融点繊維の割合が上記範囲より低いと剛性が低下し、上記範囲を超えると耐熱性が悪化する。なお、低融点繊維を使用しない場合は、表面繊維が抜け易いという問題も生じる。また、高融点繊維の割合が上記範囲より低いと相対的に低融点繊維及び中融点繊維の割合が高くなり、成形時に溶融して非繊維形態化が進むので、意匠性や手触り感が悪化する。 If the ratio of the low melting point fibers in the surface layer and the back layer is lower than the above range, the rigidity is lowered, and if it exceeds the above range, the heat resistance is deteriorated. In addition, when not using a low melting point fiber, the problem that a surface fiber tends to come out also arises. In addition, if the ratio of the high melting point fiber is lower than the above range, the ratio of the low melting point fiber and the medium melting point fiber becomes relatively high, and melts at the time of molding, and the non-fiber form progresses. .
中間層における低融点繊維の割合は10〜50質量%、中融点繊維の割合は40〜75質量%、高融点繊維の割合は5〜40質量%である。このように低融点繊維の割合を表層や裏層よりも高くして剛性を高めれば、内装材全体の保形機能を担うことができる。すなわち、三層からなるサンドイッチ構造のうち、表層及び裏層は主として耐熱変形性を向上する役割を果たし、中間層は高い剛性によって保形性を向上する役割を果たすことができる。中間層における低融点繊維の割合が上記範囲より低いと剛性が低下し、上記範囲を超えると耐熱性が悪化する。 The ratio of the low melting point fiber in the intermediate layer is 10 to 50% by mass, the ratio of the medium melting point fiber is 40 to 75% by mass, and the ratio of the high melting point fiber is 5 to 40% by mass. Thus, if the ratio of the low melting point fiber is made higher than that of the surface layer or the back layer to increase the rigidity, the shape retaining function of the entire interior material can be assumed. That is, in the sandwich structure composed of three layers, the surface layer and the back layer mainly play a role of improving the heat deformation resistance, and the intermediate layer can play a role of improving the shape retention by high rigidity. If the ratio of the low melting point fiber in the intermediate layer is lower than the above range, the rigidity is lowered, and if it exceeds the above range, the heat resistance is deteriorated.
<車両用内装材の製造方法>
三層を積層一体化して繊維積層体を得る為の方法としては、例えば、高融点繊維、中融点繊維及び低融点繊維を各々所定割合で混合して三種のウェブ(表層、中間層、裏層)を作製し、表層、中間層、裏層の順となるように積層してニードルパンチにより一体化する方法がある。また、各層を各々予備的に軽くニードルパンチ処理しておき、次いで三層を重ねて仕上げのニードルパンチを行って積層一体化する方法もある。
<Method for manufacturing vehicle interior material>
As a method for obtaining a fiber laminate by laminating and integrating three layers, for example, a high melting point fiber, a medium melting point fiber, and a low melting point fiber are mixed at a predetermined ratio, respectively, and three types of webs (surface layer, intermediate layer, back layer) are mixed. ), And laminated in the order of the surface layer, the intermediate layer, and the back layer, and integrated by needle punching. There is also a method in which each layer is preliminarily lightly needle-punched, and then the three layers are stacked and finished to perform needle punching and laminated and integrated.
繊維積層体を成形して車両用内装材を得る為の方法としては、例えば、繊維積層体を予備加熱し、これを雌雄対のプレス成形型内に配置して所望の形状に絞り成形する方法がある。この方法は、中融点繊維及び低融点繊維が溶融する温度でかつ高融点繊維が溶融しない温度で行えば良い。このような絞り成形によって、車両内部の形状(例えば自動車の荷室のパネル形状)に合わせた形状の車両用内装材が得られ、そのパネル等の上に車両用内装材を敷設できる。 As a method for molding a fiber laminate to obtain an interior material for a vehicle, for example, a method of preheating the fiber laminate and placing it in a press mold of a male and female pair and drawing it into a desired shape There is. This method may be performed at a temperature at which the medium melting point fiber and the low melting point fiber are melted and at a temperature at which the high melting point fiber is not melted. By such drawing, a vehicle interior material having a shape that matches the interior shape of the vehicle (for example, the shape of a vehicle luggage compartment panel) can be obtained, and the vehicle interior material can be laid on the panel or the like.

[Evaluation results]
As shown in Table 1, each example was excellent in all the characteristics of design, bending elasticity (gradient), and heat distortion resistance.
一方、表2に示すように、比較例1は、表層及び裏層に低融点繊維を使用しなかったので、意匠性、曲げ弾性(勾配)が劣っていた。比較例2は、表層及び裏層の低融点繊維の割合が高過ぎるので、意匠性、耐熱変形性が劣っていた。比較例3は、表層及び裏層の高融点繊維の割合が低過ぎるので、意匠性、耐熱変形性が劣っていた。比較例4は、表層及び裏層の中融点繊維の割合が低過ぎるので、耐熱変形性が劣っていた。比較例5は、表層及び裏層の中融点繊維の割合が高過ぎ、高融点繊維の割合が低過ぎるので、意匠性が劣っていた。比較例6は、表層及び裏層の高融点繊維の割合が高過ぎるので、意匠性、曲げ弾性(勾配)、耐熱変形性が劣っていた。 On the other hand, as shown in Table 2, Comparative Example 1 was inferior in design and bending elasticity (gradient) because no low melting point fiber was used for the surface layer and the back layer. Since the ratio of the low melting point fiber of the surface layer and the back layer was too high, the comparative example 2 was inferior in design property and heat-resistant deformation. Since the ratio of the high melting point fiber of the surface layer and the back layer was too low, the comparative example 3 was inferior in design property and heat-resistant deformation. In Comparative Example 4, the ratio of the middle melting point fibers of the surface layer and the back layer was too low, so the heat distortion resistance was inferior. In Comparative Example 5, the ratio of the middle melting point fibers of the surface layer and the back layer was too high, and the ratio of the high melting point fibers was too low, so the design properties were inferior. Since the ratio of the high melting point fiber of the surface layer and the back layer was too high, the comparative example 6 was inferior in design property, bending elasticity (gradient), and heat deformation property.
また比較例7は、中間層の低融点繊維の割合が低過ぎるので、耐熱変形性が劣っていた。比較例8は、中間層の低融点繊維の割合が高過ぎ、高融点繊維を使用しなかったので、耐熱変形性が劣っていた。比較例9は、中間層の中融点繊維の割合が低過ぎ、高融点繊維の割合が高過ぎるので、耐熱変形性が劣っていた。比較例10は、中間層の中融点繊維の割合が高過ぎるので、耐熱変形性が劣っていた。 Moreover, since the ratio of the low melting-point fiber of the intermediate layer was too low, the comparative example 7 was inferior in heat distortion property. In Comparative Example 8, the ratio of the low-melting fiber in the intermediate layer was too high, and the high-melting fiber was not used. Comparative Example 9 was inferior in heat resistance deformation because the proportion of the middle melting point fibers in the intermediate layer was too low and the proportion of the high melting point fibers was too high. Comparative Example 10 was inferior in heat-resistant deformation because the proportion of the middle-melting fiber in the intermediate layer was too high.
本発明の内装材は、意匠性、剛性、耐熱変形性に優れているので、各種の車両の内装材として広く利用可能である。例えば自動車の荷台のパネル(トランクフロア)上に敷設されるフロアカーペットなど、深い凹凸形状を有する面に敷設される内装材であって意匠性や耐熱変形性も要求される用途に特に有用である。 Since the interior material of the present invention is excellent in design, rigidity, and heat distortion resistance, it can be widely used as an interior material for various vehicles. For example, it is an interior material laid on a surface having a deep concavo-convex shape, such as a floor carpet laid on a panel (trunk floor) of a car bed, and is particularly useful for applications that require designability and heat distortion resistance. .
