Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a method for joining a panel and a citrus container.

When joining a panel and a container, for example, at the connection between the top of a sink and the sink, or between the top plate of a washstand and a barrel, the two are mechanically joined and a sealant is applied to seal the water. The current situation is that Although this method is easy to install, it has the drawback that it is difficult to reliably apply and insert the sealant, which often causes water leaks.

Furthermore, if there is a large amount of sealant, it will protrude, requiring work such as removing or repairing that part, and depending on the type of sealant, there is a possibility that it will protrude even after installation. In addition, if the sealant has a small amount of moisture, the water sealing properties will be poor and it will naturally cause water leakage.If the sealant changes volume and weakens even a little after installation, it will immediately create a gap.
This also causes many problems such as water leakage, which is a serious drawback. On the other hand, there is a joining method in which packing material is placed in the joint and mechanical pressure is applied to the joint to seal and fix the joint, but this method is time-consuming and requires the joint to withstand the tightening pressure. It is necessary to make it strong, which creates design limitations.

Furthermore, if it cannot be made strongly, the joint may be deformed by the tightening pressure, resulting in disadvantages such as poor appearance. As described above, the current state of the art is that the methods for joining the panel and the horizontal container have some drawbacks, and no satisfactory method has yet been obtained.

The present invention uses a filler (hereinafter referred to as "filler") that has sealing and adhesive properties as a packing material.

), prevents the flow out, which was a problem in the past, and allows the filler to completely fill the voids and come into full contact with the edges of the panel and tank container, which not only improves sealing performance, but also improves adhesive strength. It has also been improved upon by Onaka. Another feature of this method is that even when a foaming filler is used, sealing and adhesive properties can be obtained without any problems.

Furthermore, by providing an injection port on the panel side, it is possible to easily perform panel processing without requiring any particular effort, and without causing any change in appearance. If it is necessary to close this opening after injecting the filler, a one-piece method such as a wooden plug or tape can be easily used. As described above, the method of the present invention has the feature that it can be easily performed both in the mass production process in a factory and in the case of single-item construction in on-site construction. This provides a method that allows for strong bonding with complete water sealing.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a cross section of a joint made by the method of claim 1.

Packing material (
1 and 2), and the filler is introduced into the gap 5 formed by the filler through the filler inlet 9.

The filler is guided by the panel 10, the end 6 of the tank vessel and the packing materials (1 and 2) to fill the side gap 5 and finally completely fill the gap to complete the filling. The packing materials (1 and 2) not only accurately regulate the shape of the filler and provide a constant strength of the joint, but also have the effect of maintaining the mechanical strength of the joint as the packing material itself. In this method, the material of the packing material is not particularly specified, but it is naturally preferable that it is not affected by the filler and has some flexibility.

When feeding the filler, measures such as installing air holes or adding air slits to the packing material to release air in the voids are appropriate depending on conditions such as the physical properties of the filler used and the feeding speed. Just set it up. If the shape is complex, it is easy to think that filling time can be shortened by providing small air vent holes in positions where the filler is most difficult to reach. FIG. 2 shows an example of joining at a position where the panels are narrowed one step further, and the joining method is exactly the same as that in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 shows a method similar to that shown in FIG. 1, but a groove is provided in which the packing material is inserted, and a part of the packing material is inserted into this groove.

This prevents the packing material from moving even when the filler feeding pressure and foaming pressure are extremely high, or even when the packing material tightening pressure is considerably reduced. Depending on the situation, it is best to decide whether to make a groove for one side of the bucking material, for both sides, for the panel, or for the rice cake container. This method makes it possible to reduce the tightening pressure of the packing material, prevent deformation when the material at the joint between the panel 10 and the tank container is weak, and increase the filling pressure and foaming pressure. This has advantages such as an increase in seal bonding force and ease of injecting filler into complex shapes.

Figure 4 shows that the container shown in Figure 1 has a protrusion on the end 6 of the container so that the insertion position of the packing material is accurate and the position is not affected even if the pressure of the filling material becomes extremely high. It is designed to be fixed.

Conversely, it is also possible to weaken the tightness between the panel 10 and the end 6 of the rice cake container, move the packing material under the pressure of the filler, and stop it at the protrusion. It becomes popular to improve workability because it becomes easier and easier to find the approximate position. Figure 5 shows the panel -
This is a cross-sectional view of an example of a case where the method is carried out by any of the methods shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4 at a step-down position.

FIG. 6 shows a cross section of an example in which the joint is made in a direction perpendicular to the panel 10 surface using any of the methods shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 4, and 5. .

Note that the holes provided in the end portion 6 of the tower container are for allowing a filler to flow therein to improve the strength against forces in the shearing direction. There is nothing particularly different from what is normally done. As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to perform a strong joint with a reliable water sealing property between the panel and the end portion of the rice cake container with a very simple construction.

The range of applications is wide, and sinks, washstands, bathtubs, etc. can naturally be used for similar types of joints, and it provides a method that is extremely practical from a comprehensive standpoint in terms of usage and construction costs. It is.
