Manufacturing Method of Lightweight Thermal Bath and Lightweight Thermal Bath {Method of preparing light and heat-retaining bath tub and light and heat-retaining bath tub}

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a lightweight thermal bath and a lightweight thermal bath in more detail can be configured to a light weight of 15 to 20 kg much smaller than the conventional 60 to 70 kg of the total weight is excellent in portability, It has excellent thermal insulation, excellent thermal insulation, strong against impact and scratch, excellent durability due to no separation between layers, and a manufacturing method of lightweight thermal bath and lightweight insulation bath that can minimize defect rate after hardening in the manufacturing process. It is about.

In general, the tubs used are mobile and stationary tubs, and the fixed tubs have been commonly used with large tubs fixed in bathrooms.

In order to secure thermal insulation properties and strength, such conventional fixed large-size baths generally use synthetic resin solution and ordinary stone powder as the main raw materials, and in addition, pigments and hardeners of desired color are added at appropriate ratios to obtain raw materials for molding products. have.

Such raw materials are injected and molded between the upper and lower molds in which a gel coat (GEL COAT) is coated with an appropriate thickness on the waxed surface after sufficient mixing and degassing, and then demolded, and after demolding, curing and finishing processes It is known that the synthetic resin solution and ordinary stone powder should be added at a ratio of about 1: 1.3 so that the stone powder can be agglomerated with the greatest cohesive force to obtain maximum strength.

However, the bathtub manufactured by such a manufacturing method cannot obtain sufficient strength enough to satisfy the bathtub with the maximum strength obtained by the mixing ratio of the synthetic resin solution and the stone powder. Therefore, the thickness of most products is formed to reinforce the strength. But it breaks well in shock.

Therefore, in this case, the manufacturing cost of the product is expensive, and the price competitiveness is lowered, and the weight of the product becomes heavy, which adds logistics cost and is not easy to handle, and is poor in scratches and discoloration due to the characteristics of gel coating. There is this.

Therefore, while solving this problem, the development of a lightweight thermal bath and its manufacturing method that can realize all the advantages of the conventional bathtub is urgently needed.

In order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the present invention can be configured to a light weight of 15 to 20 kg much smaller than the conventional 60 to 70 kg of the excellent weight and excellent heat insulation and heat insulation It is excellent, resistant to impact and scratch, and excellent in durability because it does not occur between layers, and does not cause deformation after curing in the manufacturing process, and provides a method of manufacturing a lightweight thermal bath and a lightweight thermal bath that can minimize the defective rate. do.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention

According to the manufacturing method of the lightweight thermal bath and the lightweight thermal bath of the present invention, it is possible to configure the light weight of 15 to 20 kg of the total weight is much smaller than the conventional 60 to 70 kg has excellent portability, excellent heat insulation It is excellent in heat insulation, strong in impact and scratch, and excellent in durability because external impact is transmitted to foam layer without separation between layers, and it does not have deformation after hardening in manufacturing process.

In addition, when the polycarbonate sheet is made transparent or translucent, the uneven pattern on the back side of the plate may look like a wave pattern from the outside, thereby providing a beautiful effect that gives the bather the feeling of being in the sea.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a lightweight thermal bath, in the manufacturing method of the bath, to form a polycarbonate plate to form the inside of the tub, so that one surface 12 of the lower surface of the inside of the tub has a concave-convex pattern. Forming a structure layer (10); A second step of applying the polycarbonate adhesive 20 to one surface 12 having the uneven pattern of the structure layer 10; And, in addition to the outer shape of the tub and the outer shape of the tub by foaming a polyurethane on one surface to which the adhesive 20 is applied, the outer side further has a deformation preventing frame 32 extending in the vertical direction of the tub It comprises a third step of forming a rigid polyurethane foam layer 30 to form a shape.

A specific example thereof is as shown in FIG. 1. That is, the polycarbonate plate is formed to form an inside of the bath. As shown in FIG. 1, the polycarbonate plate is formed to have an uneven pattern on one surface 12 of the plate, which is the lower surface of the inside of the bath. Molding of the polycarbonate plate is molded so as to correspond to the internal shape of the tub through a process such as vacuum molding. If necessary, it is of course possible to apply a release agent during the molding process. Since the polycarbonate sheet has excellent strength and durability, and may be configured to be transparent or translucent, the uneven pattern of one surface may be expressed to the outside through the transparent or translucent composition, thereby obtaining a beautiful appearance. One side 12 of the polycarbonate plate has a concave-convex pattern, and the other side 14 is preferably a transparent or translucent polycarbonate plate that is flat (to ensure bathing feeling). In addition, the concave-convex pattern on the one side increases the bonding force between the polycarbonate sheet and the foam layer to be bonded later to prevent the separation of the layers between the bonding layers, and the stress applied to the polycarbonate sheet to be dispersed in the foam layer to prevent breakage of the polycarbonate sheet. It can prevent and raise durability. As the concave-convex pattern of the plate, as long as the concave-convex may be formed in various forms irrespective of its shape, a specific example thereof is as shown in FIG. In addition, it is preferable to have a wavy rugged pattern so that the bather feels like being in the sea.

In order to increase the bonding force of the structure layer 10 and the foam layer made of such a polycarbonate plate, as shown in the specific example in FIG. 1, the polycarbonate on one surface 12 having the uneven pattern of the structure layer 10 A second step of applying the adhesive is performed. (Here, the uneven pattern in FIGS. 1 to 5 is shown only in the first and second figures of FIG. 1 and omitted for the sake of brevity in the rest.) Excellent bonding with the adhesive between the polyurethane foam layer and the polycarbonate sheet Polycarbonate adhesive should be applied to secure the strength. Specific examples thereof include P-2100 of Wonchang Industrial Co., Ltd., which is an adhesive of polycarbonate and polyurethane.

As described above, the polyurethane foam is foamed on one surface to which the polycarbonate adhesive is applied, and in addition to the external shape of the bathtub and the external shape of the bathtub, the shape further includes a deformation preventing frame 32 extending in the vertical direction of the bathtub on the outer side. Performing the third step of forming a rigid polyurethane foam layer 30 to form a. That is, when the lightweight thermal bath is composed of a polyurethane foam layer, it is possible to produce a lightweight bath, but after the formation of the foam layer, there is a problem that the tub is distorted in the curing process, difficult to manufacture, while solving this additional process or Polyurethane foam layer constituting the original lightweight bathtub to be manufactured without installing additional new work or structure is configured to further have a deformation preventing frame 32 extending in the vertical direction of the tub on the outer side. In FIGS. 1 and 2 and 4 to 5, the deformation prevention frame 32 is displayed in a pattern different from that of the foam layer 30 to facilitate identification, and the actual material is the same as that of the foam layer. The deformation preventing frame 32 is also formed integrally at a time.

Preferably, the foam layer is formed by i) foaming polyurethane on one surface to which the adhesive is applied and joining a mold corresponding to the outer shape of the bath having the deformation preventing frame, or ii) having the deformation preventing frame. It can be formed by bonding a mold corresponding to the external shape of the bath and foaming polyurethane, and the rigid polyurethane constituting the foam layer and the anti-strain frame is preferably suitable to have a density of 30 to 200 kg / m ³ It is desirable to secure strength and light weight. Here, of course, if necessary, a release agent may be applied during the molding process.

Also, in order to secure the protection and aesthetics of the rigid polyurethane foam layer 30, the outer structure layer 60 may be further added to the outer surface of the rigid polyurethane foam layer 30. In the prior to forming the rigid polyurethane foam layer 30, after applying a release agent to the inside of the mold corresponding to the external shape of the tub, and then spraying the resin to further have an outer structure layer 60 formed by curing Can be applied.

That is, forming the outer structure layer made of the tub outer shape, the outer structure layer forms the outer surface of the bath to serve as a structure in the tub, so it is formed of a hard resin material used to manufacture a conventional hard tub can do. As a method of forming the same, a method in which a resin in which a curing agent is added to a polyethylene or polypropylene ABS resin is sprayed onto a mold to which a release agent or a release film is added may be used, and a method of curing the resin may be used. Hard materials should be used for this purpose, and materials having a certain degree of ductility that can withstand a certain degree of drop impact or other external shocks during use are preferable, and general-purpose plastic such as PS, PE, PP, ACRYL, ABS, PVC, PET, etc. This is suitable. In addition, the ultra-hard polyurethane may be formed by applying the instantaneous impact method to the mold having an outer shape by using a conventional high pressure spray foaming machine. This ultra-hard polyurethane (SHR-100Series of Daehan Polytech Co., Ltd.) has a hardness of Shore D = 40 ~ 70, it is suitable that the elongation at break is more than 50%. Preferably, the outer structure layer is preferably about 2 to 5 mm in thickness, after which parts unnecessarily extending outwards may be removed through a post-treatment process.

In addition to this, an adhesive may be further added between the outer structural layer and the rigid polyurethane foam layer to further solidify the bond. That is, the step of applying the adhesive after the formation of the outer structure layer may be further added. As the adhesive, a conventional adhesive may be applied thereto, and it is preferable to use a polycarbonate-based adhesive as described above in order to secure sufficient adhesion between the bonding surfaces.

In addition, the deformation preventing frame may be a shape extending in the vertical direction and does not necessarily need to be shaped vertically, specific examples thereof are as shown in FIGS. 2 to 3. Preferably, the anti-deformation frame 32 is spaced at intervals of 30 to 50 cm in the horizontal direction, the width is 50 to 100 mm, the thickness is 1/3 to 1 / of the thickness of the tub of the portion where the frame is formed The arrangement of at least two in the form of two people on the side of the bath is preferred because it prevents deformation and reduces the weight and installation area and volume of the bath.

In addition, as shown in the specific example in Figure 4, the anti-deformation frame 32 may further have a portion 34 that is further formed on the outside of the bath along the top edge of the bath. Accordingly, the number, spacing, size, and thickness of the deformation preventing frame extending in the vertical direction can be reduced.

The structure in which the bathtub formed as described above is installed in a building such as an apartment is as shown in FIG. 5.

Here, the outer structure layer 60 is a portion made of a tub outer shape, the outer structure layer serves as a structure of the tub to form the outer surface of the tub, so it is a hard resin material used to manufacture a conventional hard tub Can be formed. As a method of forming the same, a plastic sheet may be vacuum-molded, or a method of molding and injecting a resin in which a hardener is added to polyethylene or polypropylene ABS resin into a mold, and an injection molding method may be used. Hard materials should be used in order to maintain them, and materials having a certain degree of ductility that can withstand a certain degree of drop impact or other external shocks during use are preferred. PS, PE, PP, ACRYL, ABS, PVC, PET, etc. General purpose plastics are suitable. Preferably, the outer structure layer may be manufactured by vacuum molding sheet-shaped plastic having a thickness of about 2 to 5 mm to have a shape as described above using a conventional vacuum molding machine. In this case, since the outer structure layer has to be formed in the outer shape of the tub, an unnecessary portion extending outward therefrom may be removed through a post-treatment process.

In addition, as described above, the adhesive may be further added to the bonding surface before the rigid polyurethane foam layer is formed between the structure of the third step and the outer structure. That is, the outer structure layer may be formed, and an adhesive may be further applied to the outer structure layer before foaming of the foam layer.
