This invention involves a kind of molded plastic snowboard, especially the manufacturing method of a kind of plastic snowboard.
There are diversified categories and types of snowboards at present, the Applicant applied at China Patent Bureau for the patent of “Molded Plastic Snowboard and Its Manufacturing Technique” under the patent number of 200510063363 on Apr. 8 2005, which disclosed a technique, i.e., the manufacturing method of said molded plastic snowboard, which consists of the following steps: slice the foaming PE material in pieces according to the required thickness for the snowboard as the inner core of the snowboard; the PE material slices are made into the bottom layer of the snowboard, which is then made into compound bottom board through heating, pressing and inner core adhesion; heat the compound bottom board to 80˜150° C. and maintain the temperature for 100˜15 minutes, after that place the bottom board into the mold, with the bottom of the board contacting the mold, and press on it, at the same time, carry out vacuum pumping in the space between the bottom and the mold, and then the bottom is molded; integrate the edge of the compound according to the pattern of the snowboard; apply hot melt glue on the bottom board before cover the PE film one it as the deck plane, then place the bottom board into the mold, allowing the deck plane contact the mold surface, and at the same time press on the undersurface and carry out vacuum pumping between the deck plane and the mold surface to mold the deck plane; trim the deck plane, seal the edge by hot melting for achieving the molded product, Therefore, its main technique include binding the inner core material with the bottom board and place them in the mold for forming before being made into finished products in the mold by stamping and binding. This technique is simple and provides fine connection between different parts so as to get products of different appearances. However, its disadvantage is that it's difficult to form products with more complex appearance and more exquisite structure, since the inner core acting as the framework of the structure is not formed in the mold separately, the inner core will most probably be asynchronous with the appearance and the framework will not be firm enough, in case of external force, the product is subject to deformation, moreover, the impact resist of the product will hardly be further improved. Therefore, this method still requires to be improved.
The technical problem for this invention to solve is that to provide a kind of easy molding manufacture method of plastic snowboard with reasonable processes according to the aforesaid existing techniques, which can produce products not subject to distortion due to external force and with higher resistance to impact.
The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve the aforesaid technical problems is: Manufacturing method of this plastic snowboard, which is featured by the following steps:
a, make the inner core in the shape of the product by foaming of the plastic foam in the foaming mold;
b, take a plastic slice and apply a layer of PE material on the undersurface of the foamed plastic slice as the bottom board, and then apply a layer of glue on the upper surface of the foamed plastic slice;
c, heat the bottom board in the oven for 7˜15 minutes in the temperature of 130˜180° C., then take out the bottom board from the oven and place it in the mold, and then place the inner core on the bottom board, making the glue layer contact the inner core and apply pressure on it, at the same time, carry out vacuum pumping between the undersurface of the bottom board and the mold surface to mold the undersurface, the combination of the bottom board and the inner core forms the compound bottom board, after that, trim the excessive material of the bottom board;
d, take a plastic film and print patterns on the undersurface of it, adhere the undersurface of the printed plastic film to the upper surface of the foamed plastic slice by means of compound binding as the surface board and apply a layer of glue on the undersurface of the foamed plastic slice with a plastic film on it.
e, heat the surface board in the oven for 6˜15 minutes in the temperature of 120˜180° C., then take out the bottom board from the oven and place it in the mold, make the glue layer on the undersurface of the surface board contact the inner core of the upper surface of the compound bottom board and apply pressure on it, at the same time, carry out vacuum pumping between the surface board and the mold surface to mold the surface board and the compound bottom board;
f, and then trim the surface board, after that, seal the edge of the product by hot melting to get the formed product.
As further improvement, the materials for said inner core should be EPS, EPP or IXPE, EPS means expandable polystyrene, EPP means expandable polypropylene, IXPE means electronic cross-linked PE foam; said foamed plastic slices should be XPE or IXPE, XPE means cross-linked PE, IXPE means electronic cross-linked PE foam; PE means polyethylene; the thickness of said surface board and bottom board should be 2˜5 mm. When adopting IXPE material, the density should be 30˜60 Kg/m3.
Said glue layer should be hot melt glue layer as further improvement.
As further improvement, said inner core should be that made by means of steam heating of the foamed plastic into the shape of the product in the foaming mold; the undersurface of said foamed plastic slice should be applied with a layer of PE material with a coating machine.
Finally, the range of said pressure is 65˜100 T. Said vacuum-pumping intensity of pressure is 1×105pa.
Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: first, make the inner core in the shape of the product by steam heating in the foaming mold, the old technique is to bind the inner core material and the bottom board together, and then place it in the mold for molding before making it into the product in the mold by stamping and binding, while this technique is to make the inner core in the mold by foaming of the foaming materials first to form the inner core into the shape of the product in the mold, and then place it in the mold to be bound to the bottom board and surface board, moreover, this technique changed the PE materials used in the old technique into EPS (expandable polystyrene) materials, which have better impact resistance, and because the inner core acting as the framework is formed in the mold separately, the inner core is stronger, more easily formed and more reasonable, in case of external force, the inner core will have fine elastic deformation and stronger impact resistance, preventing the product form deformation, and with its impact resistance greatly improved, it is more suitable for molding of products with more complex appearance and more exquisite structure.
