Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a resin product free from a surface flaw such as a sink even in an injection molded product markedly deviated in wall thickness by forcibly generating a void in the thick-walled part of a molded product-by the pressure gas discharged from a mold cavity at time of injection molding. CONSTITUTION:When a resin molded object different in wall thickness is subjected to injection molding, a void insertion pin 6 is arranged at the position corresponding to the thick-walled part of a mold cavity 4. The pressure gas discharged from the mold cavity at the time of injection is allowed to act on the tip of the void insertion pin 6 from an air discharge passage 7 and an air guide passage 8 through the pin 6 to form a void nucleus in the molten resin present in the vicinity of the tip part of the void insertion pin 6. The void necleus grows to the void corresponding to the shrinkage of the resin accompanied by the cooling of the molten resin. Therefore, a resin product free from the surface flaw such as a sink caused by the volumetric shrinkage of an injection molded product markedly deviated in wall thickness is easily produced by existing molding equipment.

2. Description of the Related Art When a thermoplastic resin molded product having a thick portion and a thin portion is manufactured by an injection molding method, the thick portion finally solidifies in the process of cooling and solidifying the resin filled in the mold. . Therefore, the volume shrinkage due to the cooling of the resin concentrates on the thick portion, and sink marks or the like tend to occur on the surface of the thick portion. The commercial value of a molded product is significantly reduced by the occurrence of sink marks, deformation, etc. (hereinafter, this is represented by sink marks).
In the conventional injection molding method, in order to compensate for the volume contraction, a pressure holding step is provided immediately after completion of injection and filling of the resin, and a pressure for preventing sink marks is applied to the molten resin in the cavity.
However, when the product shape becomes complicated, the gate seal precedes, sufficient holding pressure cannot be applied, and a product with a satisfactory appearance cannot be obtained.

As means for suppressing the occurrence of sink marks, for example, Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 61-53208 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 63-2686.
In No. 11, etc., high-pressure gas is sent to the cavity through the resin flow path, and holding pressure is applied through the hollow gas flow path.
It is introduced to suppress the generation of surface defects. Since these methods require the use of high-pressure gas, they are expensive and the high-pressure gas itself is not easy to handle. Therefore, as in JP-A-4-45910, a method of recovering and reusing the gas used for hollowing, or in JP-A-5-4253, nitrogen gas is separated from air to form a high-pressure gas source. Although methods of using the same have been proposed, these methods also require a nitrogen source externally and handle high-pressure gas, so the apparatus is expensive and the operation is complicated.

Further, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-25421,
After injecting the molten resin into the mold cavity with the injection molding machine, with the injection molding machine nozzle once separated from the mold, the screw was retracted without rotation to collect air in the cylinder and a predetermined amount of air was accumulated. A method has been proposed in which after re-contacting the nozzle with the mold at this point, the screw is advanced to inject the accumulated air from the nozzle. However, in this method, the screw reciprocates twice for each shot for the injection operation of both resin and air, and the screw needs to be retracted once without any rotation, so that the material pellets from the hopper must be removed. It is not practical because it is difficult to control supply and it is necessary to take measures to prevent the material pellets remaining in the screw groove from melting.

Often the strength of the layer exceeds the volumetric shrinkage of the resin. Therefore, the surface layer is not deformed, and a cavity called a void is formed inside the thick portion. In this case, defects such as sink marks are often not generated on the surface of the thick portion.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention previously proposed an injection molding method, which positively utilizes the above void phenomenon to prevent the occurrence of sink marks, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-16177. That is, in this injection molding method, when molding thermoplastic resin molded products having different wall thicknesses, the mold cavity is placed at an arbitrary position (hereinafter referred to as a thick wall portion) corresponding to a thick wall portion where a sink phenomenon occurs. A void insertion pin is provided, and a sufficient amount of molten resin for filling the cavity is injected and filled into the cavity, and a pressurized gas is applied to the pin tip through the void insertion pin,
After inducing voids in the molten resin at the tip of the void insertion pin, the shrinkage force associated with the cooling and solidification of the molten resin causes the voids to grow to a size commensurate with the shrinkage and prevents sinking of the molded product. To do.

Since the pressurized gas used for inducing voids in this method is compressed air at a low pressure of 5 to 15 kgf / cm2, a gas source is secured as compared with the high pressure inert gas used in the conventional hollow injection molding method. It is very easy, but this method also requires an external gas supply facility. In injection molding, when the molten resin is injected and filled in the mold cavity, the air filling the mold cavity is replaced with the resin and discharged to the outside. For this reason, generally, in the injection molding die, a gap is provided around the parting surface, the protruding pin, or the like so that the air is discharged.
However, since the molten resin is injected and filled into the mold cavity at high speed and high pressure, if the exhaust gas is insufficient, the air inside the mold cavity is rapidly adiabatically compressed and the temperature is high enough to cause the resin to burn. It becomes a high pressure.

The present invention will be described in detail below. When molding a thermoplastic resin by an injection molding machine, generally, the average injection pressure of the nozzle part is about 600 to 1500 kgf / cm2,
The average ejection rate is about 150 to 500 cm3 / sec. On the other hand, the average pressure at the tip of the molten resin in the mold cavity decreases due to various pressure loss factors such as viscosity increase due to solidification of the molten resin, sprue, runner, and gate.
It is about 100 to 500 kgf / cm2. The air in the mold cavity is compressed by the filling pressure of the molten resin tip, accumulated as compressed air in the air conducting path, and acts on the resin layer at the tip from the void insertion pin. The pressure of the air at this time is determined by the compression ratio based on the ratio of the volume of the mold cavity and the volume of the air communication path. In general, the volume of a molded product having a thick portion to prevent sink marks in the present invention is significantly larger than the volume of the air communication path, so that it is easy to use 5 to 1
A pressure of about 5 kgf / cm2 can be obtained. In order to efficiently accumulate the air, it is advisable to hermetically seal a part or all of the mold parting surface, the sprue bush, the ejector and the like with an elastic O-ring such as heat resistant synthetic rubber. Also, when the molded product becomes large and the ratio of the volume of the mold cavity to the volume of the air conducting path becomes significantly large, the air compressed in the cavity is temporarily stored in the external pressure storage tank through the air conducting path to induce void induction. The compressed air is controlled to an appropriate air pressure and then supplied to the void insertion pin through the air passage.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, from the air conducting path 8 which has been sealed to the resin skin layer at the tip of the annular void portion 14 through the space portion 12 serving as the compressed air introduction passage and the annular void portion 14. When the compressed pressure of the compressed air decreases due to the volume contraction caused by the progress of cooling of the resin, the filling pressure remaining inside the resin at the thick portion 4 ′ drops below the pressure of the accumulated compressed air. While peeling off the resin surface skin layer 15 ′, it is peeled toward the pin tip of the void insertion pin 6 and the pressure is concentrated on the tip. Then, the thinnest portion of the resin skin layer 15 'generated near the tip of the pin is pierced by the pressure difference between the pressure of the compressed air and the negative pressure state inside the molten resin caused by the volume contraction. The effect that the void insertion pin 6 has a sharp tip shape is that the closer it is to the tip, the more delayed the cooling of the resin skin layer 15 'is to keep the resin skin layer in that portion thin, and the pressure of the compressed air is kept at the tip of the pin. By concentrating it at one point, the compressed air easily penetrates the thin resin skin layer at the tip of the pin to form the through hole 16. Therefore, the void insertion pin 6
The amount of protrusion of the void insertion pin tip 15 from the cavity wall can be reduced to the same extent as its diameter, and the above-mentioned differential pressure can be extremely small. Compressed air is taken into the molten resin from the formed through holes 16 to form void nuclei 17 that serve as nuclei for void growth.

Subsequently, as the cooling process progresses, the void nuclei 17 are sucked by the volume contraction accompanying the cooling and solidification of the surrounding molten resin, and as shown in FIG. 3, the void nuclei 17 are cooled and solidifying around the molten resin. The voids 18 grow to a size proportional to the volume shrinkage involved. At this time, the pressure of the compressed air synergizes with the volumetric shrinkage force of the resin to spread the void nuclei 17 and promote the growth to the voids 18. However, soon the volume of the voids 18 will decrease the pressure. However, instead of the voids that have started to grow, the volumetric shrinkage force of the resin, which increases as the cooling process progresses, acts strongly,
The void 18 continues to grow to a size large enough to prevent sink marks while absorbing the volume contraction force. With this action, the sink effect is exerted from the periphery of the void insertion pin to the entire thick portion, and it is possible to suppress not only the thick portion but also the thin portion in the periphery and the sink of the adjacent thick portion. When the cooling process is completed, the mold is opened and the molded product is taken out.

As a result, even if the obtained injection-molded article has a complicated shape having an extremely thick portion and a thin portion,
It has no surface defects such as sink marks, and has high surface value and high commercial value. Moreover, this molding method can omit the pressure-holding step compared to the conventional injection molding method, in which the filling and holding pressure of the molten resin are kept high to prevent sink marks. It has the advantages that the machine can be used and molding strain can be kept low. In addition, this molding method does not involve an unreasonable flow of resin, such as flowing high pressure gas inside the thick part to hollow it out, as compared with the conventional injection molding method that uses high pressure gas as an auxiliary. It is an injection molding method that is extremely advantageous in practical use because it is extremely easy and does not require special high pressure gas that is difficult to handle. In addition, compared to the injection molding method that we previously proposed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 5-16177, in which the void phenomenon is positively used to prevent sink marks, external gas supply equipment is not required, and existing molding It can be easily implemented with equipment.
