Abstract

The method involves providing a decoration layer (102) between a melamine resin layer (101) and a functional layer (103) for producing decoration. The resin and functional layers are fused. A structuring agent film is arranged below an upper pressing plate (1), and is provided with recesses and elevations. The fused resin and functional layers are flowably adjusted to the recesses and the elevations of the structuring agent film, so that a structure is formed after hardening the fused layers, where water based paint is utilized for the decoration layer. An independent claim is also included for a pressing device for grouting and structuring of carrier plates.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Veredeln einer Trägerplatte, beispielsweise einer Holz- oder Holzwerkstoffplatte, insbesondere MDF- oder HDF-Platte mit einer Oberseite und einer Unterseite, auf deren Oberfläche der Oberseite eine Mehrzahl von Schichten aus einem Kunstharz, vorzugsweise Melaminharz aufgebracht und jede Schicht vor dem Aufbringen der nächsten Schicht getrocknet wird, wobei zwischen zwei Schichten eine Farbschicht zur Erzeugung eines Dekors vorgesehen wird und der trockene Schichtaufbau zwischen einer oberen und einer unteren Pressplatte einer Pressvorrichtung unter Einwirkung von Wärme und Druck verpresst wird und dabei die Kunstharzschichten aufschmelzen. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung eine Pressvorrichtung.The invention relates to a method for refining a support plate, for example a wood or wood-based panel, in particular MDF or HDF board with a top and a bottom, on the surface of the top of which a plurality of layers of a synthetic resin, preferably melamine resin applied and each layer is dried prior to the application of the next layer, wherein between two layers, a color layer is provided to produce a decoration and the dry layer structure between an upper and a lower pressure plate of a pressing device is pressed under the action of heat and pressure, thereby melting the resin layers. Furthermore, the invention relates to a pressing device.

Das vorstehend beschriebene Verfahren ist beispielsweise aus der EP 1 454 763 A2 bekannt. Die nach dem Verfahren hergestellten Platten werden beispielsweise für den Möbelbau verwendet, Aus ihnen können auch Paneele, insbesondere Fußbodenpaneele, hergestellt werden.The method described above is for example from the EP 1 454 763 A2 known. The plates produced by the process are used, for example, for the furniture, from them also panels, especially floor panels can be produced.

Fußbodenpaneele mit einer Trägerplatte aus Holzwerkstoff werden üblicherweise als Laminatpaneele bezeichnet und sind seit vielen Jahren zur Substitution von Parkett im Handel. Um eine glatte Oberfläche zu erhalten, wird die Oberfläche der Trägerplatte zunächst geschliffen und dann eine Grundierung aus einer oder mehrerer Melaminharzschichten aufgetragen, Auf die Grundierung wird dann das gewünschte Dekor (Parkett, Holzmaserung, Fliesen usw.) aufgedruckt. Auf das gedruckte Dekor wird dann eine Funktionsschicht zur Versiegelung der Oberseite aufgebracht. Wenn die Trägerplatte anschließend zu Fußbodenpaneelen weiterverarbeitet werden soll, werden in die Funktionsschicht verschleißhemmende Partikel, beispielsweise Korund, eingebettet. Abschließend wird der Schichtaufbau verpresst und dabei eine zu dem Dekor korrespondierende Struktur (Relief) eingeprägt, um den optischen und haptischen Eindruck dem durch das Dekor nachgebildeten natürlichen Material anzugleichen,Floor panels with a base plate made of wood material are commonly referred to as laminate panels and have been for many years for the substitution of parquet in the trade. To obtain a smooth surface, the surface of the support plate is first ground and then a Primer made of one or more melamine resin layers applied to the primer then the desired decor (parquet, wood grain, tiles, etc.) is printed. On the printed decor then a functional layer is applied for sealing the top. If the carrier plate is then to be further processed to floor panels, wear-resistant particles, such as corundum, are embedded in the functional layer. Finally, the layer structure is pressed while embossing a structure corresponding to the decor (relief), in order to harmonize the visual and haptic impression with the natural material reproduced by the decor,

Aus der WO 2007/059805 A1 ist eine Beschichtungsanlage mit fließfähigem Beschichtungsmaterial für glatte oder strukturierte Oberflächen bekannt. Um die Oberfläche des Beschichtungsmaterials mit einer Struktur zu versehen, wird eine Materialbahn mit strukturierter Oberfläche eingesetzt. Eingangsseitig der Beschichtungsanlage wird ein Trägermaterial zugeführt, das mit einem fließfähigem Material beschichtet wird. Unterhalb der Materialbahn ist eine Auffangeinrichtung vorgesehen, die zusammen mit der Materialbahn im Querschnitt trichterförmig ausgebildet ist, so dass das fließfähige Material auf die Trägerplatte aufgebracht werden kann. Während die Trägerplatte mit der aufliegenden Materialbahn durch die Vorrichtung transportiert wird, härtet das Beschichtungsmaterial aus und es bildet sich in seiner Oberfläche die vorgegebene Struktur aus der Materialbahn aus. Die Pressvorrichtung ist sehr komplex aufgebaut. Als Beschichtungsmaterial müssen teure UV-Lacke verwendet werden.From the WO 2007/059805 A1 is a coating system with flowable coating material for smooth or textured surfaces known. In order to provide the surface of the coating material with a structure, a material web with a structured surface is used. On the input side of the coating system, a carrier material is supplied, which is coated with a flowable material. Below the material web a collecting device is provided, which is funnel-shaped in cross section together with the material web, so that the flowable material can be applied to the carrier plate. While the carrier plate is transported with the overlying web through the device, the coating material hardens and it forms in its surface, the predetermined structure of the material web. The pressing device is very complex. As a coating material expensive UV coatings must be used.

Es ist auch bekannt, Oberflächenstrukturen in auf Holzwerkstoffplatten aufkaschierte Folienpakete über Strukturgeber-Folien auf Umlaufpressen einzubringen. Da das Folienpaket bereits fertig ist, wird sowohl ein hoher Druck als auch eine hohe Temperatur benötigt. Da sowohl der aufbringbare Druck als auch die Temperatur durch den konstruktiven Aufbau der Umlaufpresse begrenzt sind, laufen derartige Anlagen nur sehr langsam. Die wiederverwendbare Strukturgeber-Folie übersteht nur eine begrenzte Anzahl an Durchläufen, so dass dieses Verfahren auch recht kostenintensiv ist.It is also known to introduce surface structures in laminated on wood-based panels film packages on texturizer films on rotary presses. Since the film package is already finished, both a high pressure and a high temperature is needed. Since both the applicable pressure and the temperature are limited by the structural design of the circulating press, such systems run only very slowly. The reusable plasticizer film survives only a limited number on runs, so that this procedure is also quite expensive.

Von dieser Problemstellung ausgehend soll das eingangs beschriebene Verfahren zum Veredeln einer Trägerplatte verbessert werden und es soll eine Pressvorrichtung geschaffen werden, mit der entsprechend beschichtete Trägerplatten rasch und kostengünstig strukturiert werden können.Based on this problem, the method described at the outset for refining a carrier plate is to be improved and a press device is to be created with which correspondingly coated carrier plates can be structured quickly and cost-effectively.

Zur Problemlösung wird unterhalb der oberen Pressplatte eine mit Vertiefungen und/oder Erhöhungen versehene Strukturgeber-Folie angeordnet, die dafür sorgt, dass das aufgeschmolzene Kunstharz sich den Vertiefungen und/oder Erhöhungen der Strukturgeber-Folie fließend anpasst, wodurch sich nach dem Aushärten des Kunstharzes eine Struktur ausbildet.To solve the problem, a structured film provided with depressions and / or elevations is arranged below the upper press plate, which ensures that the molten synthetic resin flows smoothly to the depressions and / or elevations of the texturing film, whereby a. After curing of the resin Structure forms.

Die so hergestellte Oberfläche zeichnet sich durch einen neuen optischen und haptischen Eindruck aus. Die Produktoberflächen sind weicher bzw. samtiger, was durch die Wirkung der Strukturgeber-Folie anstelle eines harten Stahlpressblechs erfolgt. Da die Struktur in einer Kurztakt-Presse mittels der Strukturgeber-Folie erfolgt, kann die gewünschte Struktur schnell und kostengünstig geändert bzw. gewechselt werden. Es kann also eine breite Produktpalette auf einer Pressvorrichtung hergestellt werden.The surface created in this way is characterized by a new visual and haptic impression. The product surfaces are softer or more velvety, which is due to the effect of the structuring film instead of a hard steel pressed sheet. Since the structure is carried out in a short-cycle press by means of the structuring sensor film, the desired structure can be quickly and inexpensively changed or replaced. So it can be made on a pressing device a wide range of products.

Vorzugsweise wird für die Farbschicht ein mit Farbpigmenten angereicherter wasserbasierter Lack verwendet.Preferably, a water-based lacquer enriched with color pigments is used for the color layer.

Um eine spätere Schüsselung der Trägerplatte oder der daraus hergestellten Paneele zu vermeiden, wird vorzugsweise vor dem Verpressen auf die Unterseite eine Gegenzugschicht aufgebracht.In order to avoid a subsequent buffing of the support plate or the panels produced therefrom, a counteracting layer is preferably applied to the underside prior to pressing.

Als erste Schicht wird auf die vorzugsweise vorher geschliffene Oberseite ein flüssiges Melaminharz aufgetragen. Auf die getrocknete Melaminharzschicht kann dann insbesondere vorzugsweise eine Primerschicht aufgetragen werden. Eine Pressvorrichtung zum Verpressen und Strukturieren von mit einer Mehrzahl von Harzschichten versehenen Trägerplatte mit einer oberen Pressplatte und einer unteren Pressplatte zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass unterhalb der oberen Pressplatte eine mit Vertiefungen und/oder Erhöhungen versehene Strukturgeber-Folie anzuordnen ist.As the first layer, a liquid melamine resin is applied to the preferably previously ground top side. In particular, a primer layer can then be applied to the dried melamine resin layer. A pressing device for pressing and patterning carrier plate provided with a plurality of resin layers with an upper one Pressing plate and a lower pressure plate is characterized in that below the upper pressure plate is provided with depressions and / or elevations structured shear film is to be arranged.

Vorzugsweise liegt die Strukturgeber-Folie an der Pressplatte an. Insbesondere vorzugsweise ist sie an der Pressplatte fixierbar, was beispielsweise durch Ansaugen, elektrostatische Aufladung oder Adhäsion erfolgen kann.The texturizer film is preferably applied to the press plate. In particular, it is preferably fixable to the pressing plate, which can be done for example by suction, electrostatic charging or adhesion.

Vorzugsweise ist auf der einen Seite neben der oberen Pressplatte eine Abwickeleinrichtung und auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite eine Aufwickeleinrichtung für die Strukturgeber-Folie angeordnet. Auf der Strukturgeber-Folie ist die zu dem aufgedruckten Dekor passende Struktur jeweils in zugehöriger Plattengröße eingeprägt. Die Struktur kann sich auf dem Folienband wiederholen. Es können aber auch unterschiedliche Strukturen hintereinander (jeweils in Plattengröße) auf der Strukturgeber-Folie vorgesehen sein.Preferably, an unwinding device is arranged on one side next to the upper press plate, and a winding device for the texturing film is arranged on the opposite side. On the structure-forming film, the structure matching the printed decor is embossed in each case in the associated plate size. The structure can be repeated on the foil tape. However, it is also possible for different structures to be provided one behind the other (in each case in plate size) on the structure-forming film.

Vorzugsweise weist die obere Pressplatte ein mit einer Mehrzahl von Öffnungen versehenes Pressblech auf, und die Öffnungen stehen mit einer Pneumatikeinrichtung in Verbindung.Preferably, the upper pressure plate has a press plate provided with a plurality of openings, and the openings communicate with a pneumatic device.

Von der Pneumatik-Einrichtung kann ein Unterdruck zum Ansaugen der Strukturgeber-Folie erzeugt werden. Vorzugsweise deckt die Strukturgeber-Folie die Öffnungen im Pressblech dann vollständig ab. Um die am Pressblech anliegende Strukturgeber-Folie zu entfernen, kann von der Pneumatikeinrichtung vorzugsweise impulsartig ein Überdruck erzeugt werden, der die Strukturgeber-Folie vom Pressblech abbläst.From the pneumatic device, a negative pressure for sucking the pattern generator film can be generated. Preferably, the structurizer film then completely covers the openings in the press plate. In order to remove the structure sensor film applied to the press plate, the pneumatic device may preferably generate an overpressure in a pulse-like manner, which blows the structured-film from the press plate.

Mit Hilfe einer Zeichnung soll ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung nachfolgend näher erläutert werden.With the aid of a drawing, an embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail below.

Die einzige Figur zeigt schematisch die Seitenansicht einer Kurztakt-Presse (KT-Presse) mit der oberen Pressplatte 1 und der unteren Pressplatte 11. Die obere Pressplatte 1 besteht aus dem Obergestell 2, dem Presspolster 3 und dem Pressblech 4. Die auf einem Pressentisch 12 angeordnete untere Pressplatte 11 besteht aus dem Untergestell 13, dem Presspolster 14 und dem Pressblech 15.The single FIGURE shows schematically the side view of a short-cycle press (KT-press) with the upper pressure plate 1 and the lower pressure plate 11. The upper pressure plate 1 consists of the upper frame 2, the press pad 3 and the press plate 4. Die on a press table 12th arranged lower press plate 11 consists of the base 13, the press pad 14 and the press plate 15th

Die untere Pressplatte 11 ist starr. Über die Druckzylinder 5 kann die obere Pressplatte 1 auf die untere Pressplatte 11 abgesenkt und mit Druck beaufschlagt werden. Die Pressplatten 1, 11 werden über Thermalöl in bekannter Weise aufgeheizt. An dem Pressblech 4, das mit einer Mehrzahl nicht gezeigten Öffnungen versehen ist, liegt die Strukturgeber-Folie 9 an, in die eine Struktur eingeprägt ist. Die Öffnungen im Pressblech 4 stehen mit einer sowohl Unterdruck als auch Überdruck erzeugenden Pneumatikeinrichtung 50 in Verbindung. Beidseitig neben der oberen Pressplatte 1 sind sich gegenüberliegend eine Abwickelvorrichtung 6 und eine Aufwickelvorrichtung 10 angeordnet. Die Strukturgeber-Folie 8 wird von der Abwickelvorrichtung 6 abgewickelt und gleichzeitig von der Aufwickelvorrichtung 10 aufgewickelt. Über Umlenkrollen 7, 9 wird die Strtikturgeber-Folie unterhalb der Pressplatte 1 entlanggeführt. Wenn die Pneumatikeinrichtung 50 Unterdruck erzeugt, wird die Strukturgeber-Folie 9 an das Pressblech 4 angesaugt. Zum Lösen wird über die Pneumatikeinrichtung 50 ein Druckluftstaß erzeugt, der die Strukturgeber-Folie 8 vom Pressblech 4 abbläst.The lower press plate 11 is rigid. About the impression cylinder 5, the upper pressure plate 1 can be lowered to the lower pressure plate 11 and pressurized. The press plates 1, 11 are heated by thermal oil in a known manner. On the press plate 4, which is provided with a plurality of openings, not shown, is applied to the structure sensor film 9, in which a structure is impressed. The openings in the press plate 4 are connected to a both negative pressure and positive pressure generating pneumatic device 50 in connection. On both sides next to the upper pressure plate 1, an unwinding device 6 and a winding device 10 are arranged opposite one another. The structuring film 8 is unwound from the unwinding device 6 and simultaneously wound up by the winding device 10. About deflection rollers 7, 9, the Strtikturgeber film is guided below the press plate 1. When the pneumatic device 50 generates negative pressure, the structuring film 9 is sucked onto the press plate 4. For releasing a Druckluftstaß is generated via the pneumatic device 50, which blows the structure-sensor film 8 from the press plate 4.

Zum Glätten der Oberfläche wird die großformatige Trägerplatte, beispielsweise eine MDF- oder HDF-Platte um 0.1 mm abgeschliffen. Sodann wird flüssiges Harz auf Melaminbasis auf die Oberseite zum Grundieren aufgetragen und zur Schicht 101 getrocknet. Auf die getrocknete Melaminharzschicht 101 wird ein Primer aufgetragen und getrocknet.To smooth the surface, the large-format support plate, for example an MDF or HDF plate, is abraded by 0.1 mm. Then, melamine-based liquid resin is applied to the top for priming and dried to the layer 101. On the dried melamine resin layer 101, a primer is applied and dried.

Anschließend wird eine Schicht 102 mit Farbpigmenten angereicherter, wasserbasierter Lack aufgetragen und damit die Dekorschicht erzeugt, die dann getrocknet wird. Hierauf wird wenigstens eine Funktionsschicht 103 als Versiegelung der Oberseite aufgetragen. In der Funktionsschicht 103 können den Abrieb und/oder die Kratzfestigkeit erhöhende Partikel integriert sein. Die Funktionsschicht 103 kann auch antistatisch ausgebildet werden. Zum Ausgleich der Wirkung des Schichtaufbaus 101, 102, 103 auf der Oberseite der Trägerplatte 100 wird auf ihrer Unterseite wenigstens eine Gegenzugschicht 104 aufgebracht und getrocknet. Anschließend wird die Trägerplatte 100 in die Kurztakt-Presse hinein transportiert und auf die untere Pressplatte 11 aufgelegt. Die zu dem Dekor der Dekorschicht 102 korrespondierende Struktur der Strukturgeber-Folie 8 wird ausgewählt und dann durch Antreiben der Aufwickelvorrichtung 10 unter die obere Pressplatte 1 gezogen. Dabei wickelt sich die Strukturgeber-Folie 8 von der Abwickelvorrichtung 6 ab. Die Strukturgeber-Folie 8 wird an das Pressblech 4 angesaugt und dann die obere Pressplatte 1 auf die Trägerplatte 100 abgesenkt. Durch die Hitze und den Druck schmelzen die Harzschichten auf und das flüssige Harz läuft in die Vertiefungen bzw. füllt die Zwischenräume zwischen den Erhöhungen der Strukturgeber-Folie 8 aus, so dass nach dem Aushärten des Harzes eine zu dem Dekor korrespondierende Struktur in der Oberfläche der Trägerplatte 100 erzeugt wurde.Subsequently, a layer 102 enriched with color pigments, water-based paint is applied and thus generates the decorative layer, which is then dried. Then at least one functional layer 103 is applied as a seal of the upper side. In the functional layer 103, it is possible to integrate the abrasion and / or the scratch-resistance-increasing particles. The functional layer 103 can also be formed antistatic. To compensate for the effect of the layer structure 101, 102, 103 on the upper side of the carrier plate 100, at least one counter-tensile layer 104 is applied to its underside and dried. Subsequently, the carrier plate 100 is transported into the short-cycle press and placed on the lower press plate 11. The structure of the structure-donor sheet 8 corresponding to the decor of the decoration layer 102 is selected and then pulled under the upper press plate 1 by driving the take-up device 10. In this case, the structure sensor film 8 is wound from the unwinding device 6. The structuring film 8 is sucked onto the press plate 4 and then the upper press plate 1 is lowered onto the carrier plate 100. Due to the heat and the pressure, the resin layers melt and the liquid resin runs into the depressions or fills the gaps between the elevations of the structuring film 8, so that after curing of the resin, a structure corresponding to the decoration in the surface of the Carrier plate 100 was generated.
