Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a skin material, a skin member, and an interior member. [Background technology]
[0002] Interior components are installed in the interior spaces of vehicles, ships, aircraft, buildings, and other structures. In recent years, interior components that incorporate a light source and express designs through light have been proposed. For example, an interior component has been proposed that incorporates one or more switches and uses light to express designs (e.g., shapes, patterns, or letters) that indicate the type or function of each switch.
[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses an interior component that expresses a design with light. This interior component includes a skin, a cushioning material that is placed on the back side of the skin and gives the interior component a soft texture, and a light source that is placed on the back side of the skin and irradiates a display area that corresponds to the area where the design of the skin is displayed. The display area of the skin is formed to transmit light in a specific shape. Light from the light source passes through the display area of the skin and expresses the design in a specific shape on the surface of the skin. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-171272 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] The surface material used in such interior components may have a protective layer provided on the surface facing the cushion material. The protective layer preferably reinforces the surface material and protects the cushion material from external heat.
[0006] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a novel skin material that can reinforce a skin material, and an interior component that uses the skin material. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] A skin material according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is a skin material disposed on the surface of a member having a first opening, and includes: a translucent skin layer having a first region that covers the first opening and a second region surrounding the first region; and a first printed layer disposed on the surface of the skin layer facing the member and printed in the two regions.
[0008] An interior member according to another aspect of the present disclosure includes a cushioned member having a first opening, a skin material disposed on the surface of the member, and a base material disposed on the back surface of the member and having a second opening overlapping the first opening, wherein the skin material includes a translucent skin layer having a first region that covers the first opening and a second region surrounding the first region, and a first printed layer disposed on the surface of the skin layer facing the member and printed in the two regions. [Effects of the Invention]
[0009] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a novel skin material that can reinforce a skin material, and an interior component that uses the skin material. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0010] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an interior member installed in a vehicle interior. [Figure 2] FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0012] As shown in FIG. 1 , an interior member 1 is installed in a vehicle C. The interior member 1 is, for example, a dashboard. However, the interior member 1 may be, for example, an armrest, a door trim, a seat, or any other interior member inside the vehicle C. Furthermore, although the interior member 1 is installed inside the vehicle C in this embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the interior member 1 may be installed in an interior space of an aircraft, a ship, a building, or any other object.
[0013] The interior member 1 incorporates one or more switches for operating electrical equipment of the vehicle C. A switch area 2 indicating the type or function of each switch is provided on the surface of the interior member 1 (i.e., the design surface facing the passenger compartment). The switch area 2 is an area that the user touches or presses to operate the corresponding switch.
[0014] Switch area 2 includes, for example, a pattern resembling a fan, the letters "ON / OFF," and the symbols "-" and "+" to indicate that it is a switch for controlling the air conditioner of vehicle C.
[0015] The switch area 2 also includes a light-shielding portion 2a and a light-transmitting portion 2b. The light-transmitting portion 2b is a portion that transmits light from a light source 20 (see FIG. 2) arranged on the back side of the interior member 1, and the light-shielding portion 2a is a portion that transmits less light than the light-transmitting portion 2b or does not transmit light at all.
[0016] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned patterns and the like are formed by the light-transmitting portion 2b provided within the light-blocking portion 2a. As a result, when the light source 20 of the interior member 1 is turned on, the light that passes through the light-transmitting portion 2b expresses a specific design on the surface of the interior member 1. On the other hand, when the light source 20 is turned off, the light-transmitting portion 2b may become dark enough that it is indistinguishable from the light-blocking portion 2a.
[0017] In this embodiment, a design indicating the type or function of switches is displayed on the surface of the interior member 1, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. A design unrelated to switches and intended to decorate the appearance of the interior member 1 may also be displayed on the surface of the interior member 1.
[0018] Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the interior member 1 including the switch region 2. As shown in Fig. 2, the interior member 1 includes a base material 4 and a skin member 10. The skin member 10 includes a cushioning material 6, which is a member having cushioning properties, and a skin member 8.
[0019] The cushion material 6 has a first opening 61. The base material 4 is disposed on the back surface 6a side of the cushion material 6 and has a second opening 41 that overlaps the first opening 61 in the stacking direction of the cushion material 6 and the base material 4. The cushion material 6 and the base material 4 of this embodiment include the above-mentioned switch region 2 in the stacking portion of the first opening 61 and the second opening 41.
[0020] The base material 4 supports the cushion material 6 and the skin material 8, and functions as a framework structure for maintaining the shape of the interior member 1. The base material 4 has a shape that can be used as a dashboard, for example.
[0021] The substrate 4 is a resin molded member made of a resin having light-blocking properties. The resin having light-blocking properties may be a resin that itself exhibits light-blocking properties, or a resin that does not itself have light-blocking properties but exhibits light-blocking properties by containing a black pigment.
[0022] The resin forming the base material 4 is, for example, ABS resin, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), acrylic resin, polycarbonate (PC) resin, polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or modified polyphenylene ether (modified PPE).
[0023] The skin member 10 is laminated on the surface 4b side of the base material 4. The cushion material 6 has a back surface 6a that is adhered to the base material 4, and a surface 6b opposite to the back surface 6a.
[0024] The cushioning material 6 imparts a soft texture to the interior member 1. The cushioning material 6 has a thickness of, for example, 1 mm or more and 5 mm or less.
[0025] The cushioning material 6 is, for example, a thin, translucent flexible polyurethane foam (PUF). The cushioning material 6 is formed, for example, as follows: First, a raw material composition containing a polyol, a polyisocyanate, a catalyst, and a foam stabilizer, and the polyisocyanate are prepared. The raw material compositions and the polyisocyanate are mixed, poured onto release paper, and passed through a heating oven to foam and harden, becoming a block-shaped polyurethane foam. This block-shaped polyurethane foam is then sliced to become a thin, plate-shaped polyurethane foam.
[0026] The skin material 8 is adhered to the surface 6b of the cushion material 6 by an adhesive or frame lamination. The skin material 8 gives the interior member 1 a desired appearance and texture. The skin material 8 has a thickness of, for example, 0.3 mm or more and 3 mm or less.
[0027] The skin material 8 has a skin layer 81 , a first printed layer 83 , a second printed layer 85 , and a third printed layer 87 .
[0028] The surface layer 81 is formed of a light-transmitting sheet material. The sheet material is, for example, a resin sheet or a fiber material. The resin sheet is formed of, for example, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane resin (PU), thermoplastic elastomer such as TPO (Thermoplastic Olefinic Elastomer), TPS (Thermoplastic Stylenic Elastomer), or TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer), or synthetic leather. The fiber material includes knitted fabric, woven fabric, nonwoven fabric, and other fabrics, and may include polyester, polypropylene, nylon, cotton, etc.
[0029] The skin layer 81 has a first region S1 that closes the first opening 61 of the cushion material 6, a second region S2 around the first region S1, and a third region S3 around the second region S2.
[0030] The first region S1 in this embodiment includes the switch region 2 described above, and corresponds to the layered portion of the first opening 61 of the cushion material 6 and the second opening 41 of the base material 4. The second region S2 corresponds to the layered portion of the cover material 8, the cushion material 6, and the base material 4 around the first region S1. The third region S3 includes the edge of the cover layer 81 around the second region S2, and therefore the edge of the cover material 8. In this embodiment, the portion of the cover material 8 that corresponds to the third region S3 is wrapped around and adhered to the back surface 4a of the base material 4.
[0031] The first printed layer 83 is a light-shielding or light-transmitting printed layer printed in the second region S2 of the skin layer 81. The first printed layer 83 is disposed on the surface of the skin layer 81 facing the cushioning material 6, i.e., on the back surface 81a.
[0032] The first printed layer 83 is formed from a resin containing a pigment corresponding to a desired color or a transparent resin containing no pigment. This resin is, for example, a phenolic resin, a polyester resin, an acrylic resin, or a urethane resin. The first printed layer 83 of this embodiment is formed by printing the above-mentioned resin to a desired thickness on the back surface 81a of the skin layer 81 using a gravure printing machine (gravure offset), a screen printing machine, or a PAD printing machine.
[0033] In this embodiment, the first printed layer 83 includes a first printed portion 83a having a first thickness d1 and a second printed portion 83b having a second thickness d2 that is smaller than the first thickness d1. The first thickness d1 is, for example, 0.02 mm or less and may be 5 μm or more and 10 μm or less. The second thickness d2 is, for example, 0.02 mm or less and may be 5 μm or less. The second thickness d2 may be 0 μm, in which case the second printed portion 83b does not have a physical layer.
[0034] 3 is a plan view showing the first printed layer 83 printed on the back surface 81a of the skin layer 81. As shown in FIG. 3, the first printed portions 83a and the second printed portions 83b are alternately arranged on the back surface 81a of the skin layer 81.
[0035] In this embodiment, the first printed portion 83a and the second printed portion 83b are linear and have a constant width in the longitudinal direction. The first printed portion 83a and the second printed portion 83b are repeatedly arranged alternately throughout the second region S2. The widths of the first printed portion 83a and the second printed portion 83b may be different from each other or the same. The widths of the multiple first printed portions 83a may be different from each other or the same. Similarly, the widths of the multiple second printed portions 83b may be different from each other or the same.
[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a transparent resin that does not contain a pigment is printed to a first thickness d1 and a second thickness d2 (see FIG. 2 for both), thereby simultaneously forming the first printed portion 83a and the second printed portion 83b. The first printed portion 83a may be printed so that the first thickness d1 is 5 μm, and the second printed portion 83b may be printed so that the second thickness d2 is 0. In the second region S2, a transparent striped first printed layer 83 is formed in which the first printed portions 83a and the second printed portions 83b are alternately arranged.
[0037] The first printed layer 83 reinforces the skin layer 81 according to the material, thickness, and arrangement pattern of the first printed layer 83, and suppresses stretching and deformation of the skin material 8. The first printed layer 83 also blocks or reduces heat transmitted to the cushion material 6 through the skin layer 81, protecting the cushion material 6 from external heat.
[0038] Furthermore, by alternately arranging first printed portions 83a with a first thickness d1 and second printed portions 83b with a second thickness d2 in the first printed layer 83, the hardness, or ease of stretching, of the entire skin material 8 can be adjusted. For example, the ratio of the area of the second printed portions 83b to the area of the first printed portions 83a is defined as the area ratio. The larger the area ratio, the more easily the skin material 8 stretches, and the easier it is to adhere to the cushioning material 6 and the base material 4 without gaps. On the other hand, the smaller the area ratio, the stronger the skin material 8.
[0039] In the present embodiment, the first printed layer 83 has been described as having a striped pattern in which the first printed portions 83a and the second printed portions 83b are alternately arranged, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The first printed layer 83 may be formed by printing either the first printed portions 83a or the second printed portions 83b (limited to those in which the second thickness d2 is not 0) over the entire second region S2. The first printed portions 83a and the second printed portions 83b may also have a pattern in which printed layers of different thicknesses are regularly repeated. For example, the first printed layer 83 may be printed with the first printed portions 83a and the second printed portions 83b to form a grid pattern or a continuous geometric pattern.
[0040] The first printed portion 83a and the second printed portion 83b may be printed with resin containing pigments of the same color, or may be printed with resins containing pigments of different colors. The color of the resin printed on the first printed portion 83a and the second printed portion 83b can be selected appropriately, including transparent resin that does not contain pigments.
[0041] 2, the second printed layer 85 is a light-blocking printed layer printed in the first region S1 of the skin layer 81. The second printed layer 85 is provided in a central portion that is part of the first region S1, and a gap 85c is provided between the outer edge of the second printed layer 85 and the end of the first region S1. The second printed layer 85 is disposed on the surface of the skin layer 81 that faces the cushioning material 6, i.e., on the back surface 81a.
[0042] The second printed layer 85 is made of a resin containing a pigment corresponding to a desired color. This resin is the same as that of the first printed layer 83, so a duplicated description will be omitted.
[0043] The second printed layer 85 includes a first transmission window 85a and a third printed portion 85b excluding the first transmission window 85a. The thickness d3 of the first transmission window 85a and the third printed portion 85b is, for example, 0.02 mm or less, and may be 5 μm or more and 10 μm or less. In this embodiment, the thickness d3 of the first transmission window 85a and the third printed portion 85b may be the same as or different from the first thickness d1 of the first printed portion 83a of the first printed layer 83.
[0044] As shown in FIG. 3, the first transmission window 85a corresponds to the light-transmitting portion 2b of the switch region 2. That is, light transmitted through the first transmission window 85a appears on the surface 81b of the skin layer 81, expressing a specific design on the surface of the interior member 1. In this embodiment, the first transmission window 85a is formed of a transparent resin that does not contain a pigment. The thickness d3 of the first transmission window 85a in this embodiment is 5 μm. Note that the first transmission window 85a does not necessarily need to be provided with a printed layer made of transparent resin. That is, the thickness d3 of the first transmission window 85a may be 0 μm, in which case the first transmission window 85a does not have a physical layer.
[0045] The third printed portion 85b corresponds to the central portion of the light-shielding portion 2a of the switch region 2. In this embodiment, the third printed portion 85b is formed from a resin containing, for example, carbon black, iron black, or other black pigment. The thickness d3 of the third printed portion 85b in this embodiment is 5 μm.
[0046] As a result, a printed layer having a thickness of d3 is formed on both the first transparent window 85a and the third printed portion 85b, which prevents the surface of the skin layer 81, and therefore the light-shielding portion 2a and the light-transmitting portion 2b of the switch area 2 of the interior member 1, from having a difference in tactile sensation felt by the user.
[0047] The third printed portion 85b is preferably sized to exceed the area of the epidermis layer 81 that is irradiated with light from the light source 20 (see FIG. 2). In this embodiment, the third printed portion 85b has a margin of 2 mm to 10 mm from the area of light irradiation on the epidermis layer 81. This prevents unintended light leakage into the epidermis layer 81.
[0048] As shown in FIG. 2, the third printed layer 87 is a light-blocking printed layer that covers the second printed layer 85 and is printed in the first region S1 of the skin layer 81.
[0049] The third printed layer 87 is made of a resin containing a pigment corresponding to a desired color. This resin is the same as that of the first printed layer 83 and the second printed layer 85, so a duplicated description will be omitted.
[0050] The third printed layer 87 is printed over a wider area than the second printed layer 85 and includes a second transmission window 87a, a fourth printed portion 87b that covers the first printed layer 83 except for the second transmission window 87a, and a fifth printed portion 87c that is continuous with the fourth printed portion 87b and extends to the end surface 6c of the cushioning material 6 corresponding to the first opening 61. The thickness d4 of the second transmission window 87a and the fourth printed portion 87b is, for example, 0.02 mm or less, and may be 5 μm or more and 10 μm or less. In this embodiment, the thickness d4 of the second transmission window 87a and the fourth printed portion 87b may be the same as or different from the first thickness d1 of the first printed portion 83a and the thickness d3 of the second printed layer 85.
[0051] The second transmission window 87a overlaps with the first transmission window 85a and corresponds to the light-transmitting portion 2b of the switch region 2. That is, light that has passed through the second transmission window 87a further passes through the first transmission window 85a and appears on the surface 81b of the skin layer 81, thereby expressing a specific design on the surface of the interior member 1. In this embodiment, a transparent resin that does not contain a pigment is printed on the second transmission window 87a to a thickness d4 of 5 μm. Note that the second transmission window 87a does not necessarily need to be provided with a printed layer of transparent resin. That is, the thickness d4 of the second transmission window 87a may be 0 μm, in which case the second transmission window 87a does not have a physical layer.
[0052] The fourth printed portion 87b corresponds to the light-shielding portion 2a of the switch region 2. The fourth printed portion 87b is a light-reflective printed layer that covers the second printed layer 85 and is printed over the entire area, including the edge of the first region S1. The fourth printed portion 87b is preferably formed of a resin containing a pigment with a higher light reflectance than the third printed portion 85b of the second printed layer 85. In the fourth printed portion 87b of this embodiment, for example, a resin containing titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, or other white pigment is printed to a thickness d4 of 5 μm.
[0053] As a result, the skin layer 81 in the switch area 2 is reinforced by the second printed layer 85 and the third printed layer 87. This prevents the skin layer 81 and therefore the skin material 8 from stretching or breaking when the user repeatedly presses the switch area 2.
[0054] Furthermore, the switch area 2 includes a printed layer structure that is different from that of the surrounding non-switch areas. Specifically, the switch area 2 includes a second printed layer 85 and a third printed layer 87. The third printed layer 87 covers the second printed layer 85 and is formed to extend outward beyond the outer edge of the second printed layer 85. This causes the hardness of the cover material 8 to differ between the center and the ends of the switch area 2 (i.e., the portions corresponding to the gaps 85c), and the cover material 8 can provide the user with different tactile sensations in the center and the ends of the switch area 2. As a result, the user can recognize the position of the switch area 2 by touch, rather than by visual inspection.
[0055] Furthermore, the resin containing the white pigment that forms the fourth printed portion 87b reflects some or all of the light from the light source 20 and returns it to the first opening 61. Some of the light that returns to the first opening 61 is diffused within the first opening 61 and exits to the outside through the second transmission window 87a and the first transmission window 85a. Therefore, the skin material 8 can increase the brightness of the light that passes through the second transmission window 87a and the first transmission window 85a, making the design that appears on the surface clearer. As a result, the design of the interior member 1 can be improved.
[0056] The fifth printed portion 87c is a light-reflective printed layer that is continuous with the fourth printed portion 87b and is provided up to the end surface 6c of the cushioning material 6 that corresponds to the first opening 61. The fifth printed portion 87c of this embodiment is printed with a resin that contains a white pigment, similar to the fourth printed portion 87b.
[0057] As a result, the fourth printed portion 87b and the fifth printed portion 87c can reinforce the skin layer 81 and suppress deformation. This prevents the skin layer 81, and in turn the skin material 8, from having unevenness due to gaps or steps that occur between the first opening 61 of the cushion material 6 and the cushion portion 22 (described later). This prevents unintended shadows (so-called highlights) from occurring around the switch area 2 of the interior member 1. As a result, the design of the interior member 1 is improved.
[0058] Furthermore, the fifth printed portion 87c prevents the cushion material 6 from receiving light at its end surface 6c. As a result, the fifth printed portion 87c prevents light from the light source 20 from diffusing inside the cushion material 6, and prevents the contours of the design appearing on the skin layer 81 and therefore the skin material 8 from becoming blurred.
[0059] In this embodiment, no printed layer is provided in the third region S3 of the skin layer 81. This makes the skin material 8 more susceptible to deformation in the third region S3 than in the first region S1 and the second region S2. This allows the end of the skin material 8 to be stretched and wrapped around the back surface 4a of the base material 4 for adhesion. As a result, wrinkles and kinks can be prevented from occurring on the surface of the interior member 1.
[0060] In this embodiment, the interior member 1 includes a light-transmitting base material 17, a light-transmitting touch sensor 18, and a circuit board 19 on which a light source 20 is mounted.
[0061] The light-transmitting base material 17 is, for example, a resin-molded member formed from a light-transmitting resin, such as ABS resin, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), acrylic resin, polycarbonate (PC), polyamide, or polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
[0062] The light-transmitting base material 17 is attached to the rear surface 4a of the base material 4 with an attachment member 23 such as a screw. The light-transmitting base material 17 has a protrusion 17a that is inserted into the second opening 41 of the base material 4. The height of the protrusion 17a is equal to the thickness of the base material 4. In this embodiment, the protrusion 17a fills the second opening 41. The protrusion 17a prevents damage to the cover material 8, the light-transmitting touch sensor 18, and the light source 20 caused by excessive pressure on the switch area 2 by the user.
[0063] A cushion portion 22 to be inserted into the first opening 61 of the cushion material 6 is adhered to the outer surface 17b of the protrusion 17a. The thickness of the cushion portion 22 is equal to the thickness of the cushion material 6 or is formed to be approximately 0.5 mm thinner than the cushion material 6. In this embodiment, the cushion portion 22 fills the first opening 61. The cushion portion 22 provides a soft texture to the user who presses the switch area 2.
[0064] The cushion portion 22 is, for example, a thin flexible polyurethane foam, or may be made of silicone rubber or a fabric band.
[0065] The light-transmitting touch sensor 18 is, for example, a light-transmitting flexible circuit board on which a capacitive touch sensor is mounted. The light-transmitting touch sensor 18 is attached to the inner surface 17c of the protrusion 17a. The light-transmitting touch sensor 18 detects that the user has touched the switch area 2, generates a signal, and transmits the generated signal to an external controller.
[0066] The light source 20 is an LED, a laser, an incandescent lamp, a fluorescent lamp, or another light source. The circuit board 19 is attached to the back surface 17d of the light-transmitting base material 17 with an attachment member 23 such as a screw, with the light source 20 disposed inside the protrusion 17a.
[0067] As described above, the skin material 8 of the present disclosure includes a first region S1 that covers the first opening 61 of the cushion material 6, a translucent skin layer 81 having a second region S2 surrounding the first region S1, and a first printed layer 83 printed on the second region S2.
[0068] The first printed layer 83 forms a printed layer having a predetermined thickness on the back surface 81a of the skin layer 81. This allows the first printed layer 83 to suppress extension and deformation of the skin layer 81 in the second region S2.
[0069] Furthermore, the first printed layer 83 includes alternating first printed portions 83a having a first thickness d1 and second printed portions 83b having a second thickness d2 that is smaller than the first thickness d1.
[0070] This allows adjustment of the hardness and hence the stretchability of the entire skin layer 81 in the second region S2.
[0071] The first region S1 also has a second printed layer 85 having light-blocking properties printed on the back surface 81a of the skin layer 81 facing the cushioning material 6, and a third printed layer 87 having light-transmitting properties covering the second printed layer 85. The second printed layer 85 has a first transmission window 85a, and the third printed layer 87 has a second transmission window 87a overlapping the first transmission window 85a.
[0072] The first region S1 is provided with a second printed layer 85 and a third printed layer 87. As a result, the skin layer 81 is formed with different hardnesses within the range of the first region S1. This allows the user to recognize their position on the skin material 8 by the hardness.
[0073] Furthermore, the third printed layer 87 is provided in a range extending to the end of the first region S1.
[0074] This makes it possible to suppress deformation of the skin layer 81 when the first region S1 is pressed, and also to suppress shadows (so-called highlights) caused by steps at the edges of the first opening 61 and the second opening 41.
[0075] The cover member 10 includes a cushion material 6 and a cover material 8, and the third printed layer 87 is provided up to the end surface 6c of the cushion material 6.
[0076] As a result, the third printed layer 87 prevents the cushion material 6 from receiving light at its end surface 6c. Therefore, the fifth printed portion 87c prevents light from the light source 20 from diffusing inside the cushion material 6, and prevents the contours of the design that appear on the skin layer 81 and therefore the skin material 8 from becoming blurred.
[0077] Furthermore, the interior member 1 includes a cushioning material 6 having a first opening 61, a skin material 8, and a base material 4 having a second opening 41. The skin material 8 has a skin layer 81, a first region S1 that closes the first opening 61, and a second region S2 surrounding the first region S1. The skin layer 81 includes a first printed layer 83 that is printed in the second region S2.
[0078] As a result, the first printed layer 83 can suppress the extension and deformation of the skin layer 81 in the second region S2, and can also protect the cushioning material 6 from external heat.
[0079] As described above, the upholstery material and interior component of the present disclosure can provide a novel upholstery material that can reinforce the upholstery material, and an interior component that uses the upholstery material.
