Wood-like molded product, manufacturing apparatus for the same, and manufacturing method of the same

A wood-like molded product comprising:

• a cylindrical main body which is made of a mixed material prepared by mixing wood waste material ground powder obtained from a wood waste material containing an impurity, resin waste material ground powder obtained from a resin waste material containing an impurity, and a pigment, and permits an article to be inserted thereinto, the cylindrical main body contains a wood portion in the wood waste material, of 51 to 75 wt % with respect to the whole of the cylindrical main body, a resin portion in the resin waste material, of 10 to 45 wt % with respect to the whole of the cylindrical main body, and the impurities of 20 wt % or less in total with respect to the whole of the cylindrical main body;
• and
• a supporting member provided to the cylindrical main body, to support a bottom face of the article inserted in the cylindrical main body, wherein
• a particle size of wood flour particles in the wood portion is set to 1 to 300 μm, the wood flour particles are uniformly dispersed in the cylindrical main body, and a resin is filled between the wood flour particles,
• the pigment forms a wood grain pattern on a surface of the cylindrical main body, and
• the cylindrical main body has an opened top end and an opened bottom end, a uniform outer diameter over an entire length thereof, and a sanded surface having a pattern with a plurality of streaks.

A manufacturing method of manufacturing a wood-like molded product that includes

• a cylindrical main body which is made of a mixed material prepared by mixing wood waste material ground powder obtained from a wood waste material containing an impurity, resin waste material ground powder obtained from a resin waste material containing an impurity, and a pigment, and permits a bottle to be inserted thereinto, the cylindrical main body contains a wood portion in the wood waste material, of 51 to 75 wt % with respect to the whole of the cylindrical main body, a resin portion in the resin waste material, of 10 to 45 wt % with respect to the whole of the cylindrical main body, and the impurities of 20 wt % or less in total with respect to the whole of the cylindrical main body, and
• a supporting member provided in the cylindrical main body, to support a bottom face of the bottle inserted in the cylindrical main body, a particle size of wood flour particles in the wood portion being set to 1 to 300 μm, the wood flour particles being uniformly dispersed in the cylindrical main body, and a resin being filled between the wood flour particles, the pigment forming a wood grain pattern on a surface of the cylindrical main body, and the cylindrical main body having an opened top end and an opened bottom end, a uniform outer diameter over an entire length thereof, and a sanded surface having a pattern with a plurality of streaks, the manufacturing method comprising:
• an extrusion molding step of heating and melting the mixed material, and molding the mixed material into a cylindrical shape, having the opened top end and the opened bottom end and the supporting member, through extrusion molding;
• a sizer step of adjusting a sectional shape and a dimension of an extrusion mold product, molded through the extrusion molding in the extrusion molding step, by inserting the extrusion mold product into an opening of a sizer member;
• a sanding step of sanding the surface of the extrusion mold product to form the plurality of streaks thereon;
• and
• a cutting step of cutting the extrusion mold product, of which the sectional shape and the dimension are adjusted in the sizer step, into a predetermined length, thus forming the cylindrical main body.
