Description

Polsterkern, insbesondere für einen Flugzeugsitz, und Verfahren zu dessen HerstellungUpholstery core, in particular for an aircraft seat, and method for its production

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Polsterkern nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und ein Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung.The invention relates to a cushion core according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for its production.

Die Polsterkerne bisheriger Flugzeugsitze bestehen in der Regel aus einem geeigneten Polyurethan-Schaum¬ stoff. Um die Gefahren für Passagiere und Besatzung eines Flugzeuges im Brandfall weitgehend zu begrenzen, ist es erforderlich, daß alle in Betracht kommenden Polstermaterialien im Brandfall weder giftige Rauchga- se entwickeln noch zur Ausbreitung des Feuers beitra¬ gen. Um dies bei bisherigen Polsterkernen zu errei¬ chen, werden diese mit feuerfesten Bezügen umhüllt. Hierdurch wird eine Entflammung vermieden und die Abga¬ be giftiger Gase derartiger Polster im Brandfalle we- sentlich vermindert. Die vollständige Umhüllung mit feuerfesten Bezügen ist jedoch in vielen Fällen tech¬ nisch schwierig oder unmöglich (z.B bei durchtretenden Teilen wie Stützrohre usw. ) , so daß durch Hitzeeinwir¬ kung verflüssigter Polsterschaum abtropfen und auf dem Fußboden ausbrennen kann. Daher können derartige Gewe¬ bebezugsstoffe in vielen Fällen keinen ausreichenden Brandschutz bieten. Im Falle des Abbrennens verflüssig¬ ter Schaumstoffe, z.B. auf dem Fußboden, entstehen giftige Gase, die außerdem explosiv sind.The upholstery cores of previous aircraft seats generally consist of a suitable polyurethane foam. In order to largely limit the dangers for passengers and crew of an aircraft in the event of a fire, it is necessary that all of the upholstery materials under consideration in the event of a fire neither develop toxic smoke gases nor contribute to the spread of fire. In order to achieve this with previous upholstery cores chen, these are covered with fire-proof covers. In this way, ignition is avoided and the release of poisonous gases from such upholstery in the event of a fire is substantially reduced. However, the complete covering with refractory covers is technically difficult or impossible in many cases (e.g. in the case of penetrating parts such as support pipes, etc.), so that upholstered foam liquefied by the action of heat can drip off and burn out on the floor. Therefore, in many cases, such fabric coverings cannot offer adequate fire protection. In the case of burning liquefied foams, e.g. On the floor, poisonous gases are created, which are also explosive.

Weiterhin ist die Verwendung von Flammschutzmitteln bekannt, die auf die Polsterkerne aufgebracht oder bei deren Herstellung in den Schaum eingebracht werden. Diese Mittel sollen die Ent lammbarkeit des MaterialsFurthermore, the use of flame retardants is known which is applied to the cushion cores or introduced into the foam during their manufacture. These funds are intended to reduce the inflammability of the material

Ersatzblatt erschweren, haben aber den Nachteil, daß sie sich verflüchtigen und einem Alterungsprozeß unterliegen, so daß sie nur für eine relativ begrenzte Zeitspanne wirksam bleiben. Als Material zur Herstellung derarti- ger Polster ist auch Silicon-Schaum bekannt. Dieser weist zwar die hinsichlich Entflammbarkeit und Rauch¬ gasentwicklung geforderten Werte auf, ist aber aus Gewichtsgründen von Nachteil. Aus diesem Material be¬ stehende Teile können nur aus einem Block geformt werden.Spare sheet complicate, but have the disadvantage that they evaporate and undergo an aging process, so that they remain effective only for a relatively limited period of time. Silicone foam is also known as the material for producing such upholstery. Although this has the values required for flammability and flue gas development, it is disadvantageous for reasons of weight. Parts consisting of this material can only be formed from one block.

Demgemäß liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Polsterkern von niedrigem Gewicht unter Verwen¬ dung geeigneter Materialien derart auszubilden, daß dieser an sich die hinsichtlich Entflammbarkeit und Rauchgasentwicklung geforderten Eigenschaften auf¬ weist, so daß besondere Umhüllungen zur Erreichung dieser Eigenschaften nicht erforderlich sind und der Polsterkern in einem Arbeitsgang geformt werden kann.Accordingly, the object of the invention is to design a cushion core of low weight using suitable materials in such a way that it has the properties required in terms of flammability and flue gas development, so that special envelopes are not required to achieve these properties and Upholstery core can be molded in one operation.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem gattungsgemäßen Polster¬ kern durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentan¬ spruchs 1 gelöst. Ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines derartigen Polsterkernes ist im Anspruch x angegeben. Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteran¬ sprüchen zu entnehmen.This object is achieved in a generic upholstery core by the characterizing features of patent claim 1. A method for producing such a cushion core is specified in claim x. Further embodiments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

Figur 1 zeigt ein Kopfpolster 1 mit einem Polster- kern 2, einer Umhüllung 3 und einem Stoffbezug 4. Das Polster 1 ist durch eine U-förmige Stütze 5 gehalten, die den Polsterkern 2 durchdringt. Der Kern 2 besteht aus relativ temperaturbeständigen Fasern 6, vorzugs¬ weise aus Kunststoffasern. Derartige Polster können außer in der Luftfahrtindustrie auch in der Fahrzeug- und Möbelindustrie angewendet werden. Die einzelnen Fasern 6 sind innerhalb des Polsters 2 in vorzugsweise unregelmäßig verlaufenden räumlich gekrümmten Linien angeordnet, so daß diese bei Belastung des Polsters vorwiegend auf Biegung beansprucht werden. Infolge der Elastizität der Fasern 6 nimmt das Polster 2 nach Ent¬ lastung immer wieder seine ursprüngliche Gestalt an.FIG. 1 shows a head cushion 1 with a cushion core 2, a covering 3 and a fabric cover 4. The cushion 1 is held by a U-shaped support 5 which penetrates the cushion core 2. The core 2 consists of relatively temperature-resistant fibers 6, preferably of synthetic fibers. Such upholstery can be used in the automotive and furniture industries in addition to the aerospace industry. The individual fibers 6 are arranged inside the cushion 2 in preferably irregularly running spatially curved lines, so that these are predominantly subjected to bending when the cushion is loaded. As a result of the elasticity of the fibers 6, the cushion 2 takes on its original shape again and again after relief.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Form 7 zum Herstellen von Polster¬ kernen. Diese Form 7 besteht aus einer oberen Hälfte 8 und einer unteren Hälfte 9, die sich in der Teilungs- ebene 10 berühren. Die Form 7 ist teilweise geschnit¬ ten. Der gestrichelt dargestellte Hohlraum hat die Gestalt des herzustellenden Polsters 11. Die Hälften 8,9 weisen Kühlkanäle 12 für eine Kühlflüssigkeit auf. Innerhalb der Form 7 sind zwei Düsen 13 und 14 angeord- net, die je eine Vielzahl von kleinen Bohrungen 17 aufweisen, und in Richtung der Pfeile 15 und 16 ver¬ schiebbar ausgeführt sind. Zur Herstellung eines Pol¬ sters 11 wird ein geeigneter Kunststoff durch die Boh¬ rungen 17 in den Hohlraum der Form 7 extrudiert. Dabei tritt eine Vielzahl plastischer Kunststoffäden in die Form 7 ein und wird durch eine gesteuerte Bewegung der Düsen 13,14 in Richtung der Pfeile 15,16 innerhalb der Form 7 gleichmäßig verteilt. Da die Form gekühlt wird, erstarren die Fäden zu ungleichmäßig verlaufenden räum- lieh gekrümmten Fasern 6. Durch Variation des Durchmes¬ sers der Bohrungen 17 sowie des Anteils der Fasern 6 am Formvolumen kann die jeweils geforderte Beschaffen¬ heit der Polster eingestellt werden. Da die Fasern 6 in der Form 7 erstarren, entspricht deren äußere Kon- tur der äußeren Gestalt des herzustellenden Polster¬ kerns 11, wenn dieser der Form 7 entnommen wird.Figure 2 shows a mold 7 for the manufacture of cushion cores. This shape 7 consists of an upper half 8 and a lower half 9, which touch in the parting plane 10. The shape 7 is partially cut. The cavity shown in dashed lines has the shape of the pad 11 to be produced. The halves 8, 9 have cooling channels 12 for a cooling liquid. Arranged within the mold 7 are two nozzles 13 and 14, each of which has a large number of small bores 17 and are designed to be displaceable in the direction of the arrows 15 and 16. To produce a cushion 11, a suitable plastic is extruded through the holes 17 into the cavity of the mold 7. A large number of plastic plastic threads enter the mold 7 and are evenly distributed within the mold 7 by a controlled movement of the nozzles 13, 14 in the direction of the arrows 15, 16. Since the mold is cooled, the threads solidify to form irregularly curved, spatially curved fibers 6. By varying the diameter of the bores 17 and the proportion of the fibers 6 in the mold volume, the required properties of the upholstery can be adjusted. Since the fibers 6 solidify in the mold 7, their outer contour corresponds to the outer shape of the cushion core 11 to be produced when this is removed from the mold 7.

Figur 3 zeigt in einem Ausschnitt aus einem Polster¬ kern mit Fasern 6 eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfin- düng. Diese besteht darin, daß die Fasern 6 mit einem Überzug versehen sind, der diese als dünne Haut umgibt und an den Berührunhgsstellen der Fasern 6 Knoten 19 bildet. Der Überzug kann durch Tauchen oder Sprühen aufgetragen sein und besteht im allgemeinen aus einem geeigneten Harz, z.B. auf Polyimid-Basis. Es ist auch denkbar, daß als Überzugsmaterial ein Silicon-Elasto¬ mer verwendet wird. Hierdurch wird die Wärmebeständig¬ keit der Fasern 6 weiter erhöht. Es ist weiterhin denkbar, daß dem Überzug feuerhemmende Wirkstoffe ent¬ haltende Mikrohohlkugeln beigemischt sind.FIG. 3 shows in a section of a cushion core with fibers 6 a further embodiment of the invention. fertilizer This consists in that the fibers 6 are provided with a coating which surrounds them as thin skin and forms nodes 19 at the points of contact of the fibers 6. The coating can be applied by dipping or spraying and generally consists of a suitable resin, for example based on polyimide. It is also conceivable that a silicone elastomer is used as the coating material. This further increases the heat resistance of the fibers 6. It is also conceivable that hollow microspheres containing fire-retardant active substances are mixed into the coating.

Figur 4 zeigt in einem Ausschnitt eine weitere Ausge¬ staltung eines Polsters. Hier sind die Fasern 6 an ihren Berührungsstellen miteinander verschweißt. Die Schweißstellen 20 ergeben sich automatisch, wenn die Eigentemperatur der Fasern nach dem Extrudieren hierzu ausreicht.FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of a cushion. Here the fibers 6 are welded together at their contact points. The welds 20 result automatically if the intrinsic temperature of the fibers is sufficient for this after extrusion.

Eine Ausgestaltung des Formvorganges besteht darin, daß das Extrudieren von oben in eine oben offene Form erfolgt und die Form erst danach geschlossen wird. Auch hierbei führen die Düsen gesteuerte Bewegungen aus, um die Fasern gleichmäßig zu verteilen.One embodiment of the molding process is that the extrusion takes place from above into an open mold and the mold is only closed afterwards. Here, too, the nozzles perform controlled movements in order to distribute the fibers evenly.

Eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht da¬ rin, daß die Fasern 6 des Polsterkerns aus unterschied¬ lichen Materialien bestehen.A further embodiment of the invention consists in the fibers 6 of the cushion core being made of different materials.

Weiterhin ist es denkbar, daß der Kern 2 innerhalb der Form 7 mit einer vorzugsweise aus einem Silikonmate¬ rial bestehenden Haut versehen wird.Furthermore, it is conceivable that the core 2 within the mold 7 is provided with a skin which preferably consists of a silicone material.
