以上のように構成された製造装置1において、成形体は以下のように製造される。すなわち、前記塗布装置3および成形装置4の全ての機器が調整され、熱可塑性樹脂原料が供給され、運転ができる状態になった時点で、まず、吐出部32のリップ部32aの位置の調整を行う。すなわち、成形装置4の金型47を開き、三次元移動架台33のX軸駆動装置33d、Y軸駆動装置33eおよびZ軸駆動装置33fを適宜に作動させ、吐出部32のリップ部32aを前進(X軸方向)させる。リップ部32aの先端(下端)が固定金型47aのキャビティ表面の所定(成形面)位置および所定距離を所定の隙間を維持して後退する状態を実現し、その運転条件を設定する。   In the manufacturing apparatus 1 configured as described above, the molded body is manufactured as follows. That is, when all the devices of the coating device 3 and the molding device 4 are adjusted and the thermoplastic resin raw material is supplied and ready for operation, first, the position of the lip portion 32a of the discharge portion 32 is adjusted.

A state in which the tip (lower end) of the lip portion 32a moves backward while maintaining a predetermined gap at a predetermined (molding surface) position and a predetermined distance on the cavity surface of the fixed mold 47a is set, and the operating conditions are set.

次に、成形装置4の金型47が開いた状態で、三次元移動架台33を作動させ、固定金型47aの向う側の成形端まで吐出部32のリップ部32aを前進させる。次に、可塑化部31から連結管35を経て吐出部32へ供給される溶融状態の熱可塑性樹脂原料をリップ部32aから吐出させる。このリップ部32aを、所定の隙間を維持して所定距離(手前側成形端まで)を後退させる。所定距離(手前側成形端まで)を後退した時点で、熱可塑性樹脂原料の吐出を停止する。前記吐出部32の先端が少なくとも金型47の外部に到達するまでさらに後退し、後退を停止する。以上の動作により、吐出部32のリップ部32aが固定金型47aの向う側成形端から所定距離(手前側成形端まで)後退する間に、リップ部32aから吐出される溶融状態の熱可塑性樹脂原料が固定金型47aの多数の微小凹凸を有する成形面に膜状に塗布される。   Next, in a state where the mold 47 of the molding apparatus 4 is opened, the three-dimensional moving gantry 33 is operated, and the lip portion 32a of the discharge section 32 is advanced to the molding end on the side opposite to the fixed mold 47a. Next, the molten thermoplastic resin material supplied from the plasticizing part 31 to the discharge part 32 through the connecting pipe 35 is discharged from the lip part 32a. The lip portion 32a is moved backward by a predetermined distance (up to the near molding end) while maintaining a predetermined gap. When the predetermined distance (up to the front molding end) is retracted, the discharge of the thermoplastic resin material is stopped. It further moves backward until the tip of the discharge part 32 reaches at least the outside of the mold 47, and the backward movement is stopped. By the above operation, the molten thermoplastic resin material discharged from the lip portion 32a while the lip portion 32a of the discharge portion 32 is retracted from the side molding end of the fixed mold 47a by a predetermined distance (to the near side molding end). Is applied to the molding surface of the fixed mold 47a having a large number of minute irregularities in the form of a film.

次に、成形装置4において、可動盤駆動装置46を作動させ、可動盤44を下降させて可動金型47bを固定金型47aに合せ、金型47を閉じた状態で、所定押付け力および所定時間プレス成形する。その後、剥離装置48を作動させつつ、可動盤駆動装置46を作動させて可動盤44を上昇させる。この可動盤44の上昇に伴って可動金型47bが上昇し、金型47が開く。開いた金型47から剥離した成形体を取り出し、成形体の製造が完了する。   Next, in the molding apparatus 4, the movable platen drive device 46 is operated, the movable platen 44 is lowered, the movable mold 47b is aligned with the fixed mold 47a, and the mold 47 is closed, and the predetermined pressing force and the predetermined range are set. Time press molding. Thereafter, while operating the peeling device 48, the movable platen drive device 46 is operated to raise the movable platen 44. As the movable platen 44 rises, the movable mold 47b rises and the mold 47 opens. The peeled molded body is taken out from the opened mold 47, and the production of the molded body is completed.

前記成形装置4の金型47が開いた状態で、吐出部32のリップ部32aを前進させる操作から、開いた金型47から剥離した成形体を取り出す操作までを繰返すことにより、成形体が繰り返し製造される。   With the mold 47 of the molding apparatus 4 open, the molding is repeated by repeating from the operation of advancing the lip portion 32a of the discharge unit 32 to the operation of removing the molded body peeled off from the opened mold 47. Manufactured.

The Z-axis moving table 33c is supported by the X-axis moving table 33a via the rotation support 33g and the air cylinder 33h at two locations in the X-axis direction. The Y-axis moving table 33b is moved in the Y-axis direction at both ends in the X-axis direction of the Z-axis moving table 33c so that the Y-axis driving device 33e can linearly reciprocate in the Y-axis direction (direction perpendicular to the paper surface). It is supported by two provided shafts (not shown). The plasticizing portion 31 is installed on the Y-axis moving base 33b with its axis aligned with the X-axis direction. The rotation support 33g is at least near the lower portion of the center of gravity in the X-axis direction of the portion constituted by the plasticizing portion 31 connected to the Z-axis moving stand 33c, the Y-axis moving stand 33b, and the discharge portion 32. The Z-axis moving base 33c is supported so that it can reciprocate around the Y-axis.

また、前記Y軸移動台33bからX軸方向前方へ突出する前記吐出部32に、Z軸方向移動装置34が設けられ、その下部が後述するX軸方向案内棒51に支持されている。   Further, a Z-axis direction moving device 34 is provided in the discharge part 32 protruding forward from the Y-axis moving table 33b in the X-axis direction, and a lower part thereof is supported by an X-axis direction guide rod 51 described later.

前記成形装置4は、従来と同様の竪型のプレス成形装置であり、下部架台41、下部固定盤42、可動盤44、上部固定盤43、4本のガイド棒45および可動盤駆動装置46を、順次下から上方へ配置して構成されている。ほぼ矩形形状の厚板を水平に配置された下部固定盤42、可動盤44および上部固定盤43は、その4隅にガイド棒45が貫通し、このガイド棒45の両端部において下部固定盤42および上部固定盤43固定され、その間を可動盤44が上下方向へ移動できるように、すなわち、上部固定盤43に設置された可動盤駆動装置46のピストン棒の先端に可動盤44が連結されている。前記下部固定盤42と可動盤44との対向する面には、下部固定盤42側に固定金型47a、可動盤44側に可動金型47bが設置され、固定金型47aおよび可動金型47bにより金型47が構成されている。上部固定盤43には、運転・制御装置49が設けられている。また、金型47には、成形装置4の本体から分離して配置される図示しない従来と同様の剥離装置が連結されている。   The molding device 4 is a vertical press molding device similar to the conventional one, and includes a lower frame 41, a lower fixed plate 42, a movable plate 44, an upper fixed plate 43, four guide rods 45, and a movable plate driving device 46. These are arranged sequentially from the bottom to the top. The lower fixed platen 42, the movable platen 44 and the upper fixed platen 43, which are horizontally arranged with substantially rectangular thick plates, have guide bars 45 passing through the four corners thereof, and the lower fixed platen 42 at both ends of the guide bar 45. The movable platen 44 is connected to the tip of the piston rod of the movable platen drive device 46 installed on the upper fixed platen 43 so that the movable platen 44 can move in the vertical direction between them. Yes. On the opposing surfaces of the lower fixed platen 42 and the movable platen 44, a fixed mold 47a is installed on the lower fixed platen 42 side, and a movable mold 47b is installed on the movable platen 44 side, and the fixed mold 47a and the movable mold 47b are installed. Thus, a mold 47 is configured. The upper fixed platen 43 is provided with an operation / control device 49. Further, the mold 47 is connected to a conventional peeling device (not shown) that is arranged separately from the main body of the molding device 4.

前記成形装置4の下部固定盤42には、前記塗布装置3側の側端面に、塗布装置3の方向(X軸方向)へ向う支持台50が設けられている。前記下部固定盤42および支持台50の上面には、Y軸方向の一方の側あるいは両側に、前記X軸方向案内棒51が、X軸方向へ水平に設けられている。このX軸方向案内棒51は、前記吐出部32に設けられた前記Z軸方向移動装置34の下部を支持すると共に案内し、前記Z軸方向移動装置34がX軸方向へ直線的に往復移動できるように構成されている。   The lower fixed platen 42 of the molding device 4 is provided with a support 50 on the side end surface on the coating device 3 side, facing the direction of the coating device 3 (X-axis direction). On the upper surfaces of the lower fixed platen 42 and the support base 50, the X-axis direction guide rod 51 is provided horizontally in the X-axis direction on one side or both sides in the Y-axis direction. The X-axis direction guide rod 51 supports and guides a lower portion of the Z-axis direction moving device 34 provided in the discharge unit 32, and the Z-axis direction moving device 34 linearly reciprocates in the X-axis direction. It is configured to be able to.

前記X軸方向案内棒51は、図2〜図4に一部の例を示すように、成形体の大きさすなわち前記金型47の平面的な大きさにより、種々に構成されている。すなわち、図2では成形体が小さい場合の構成であり、一方の側に1本のX軸方向案内棒51を設けた構成、図4では、成形体が大きい場合の構成であり、両側にそれぞれ1本のX軸方向案内棒51を設けた構成、図3では、中間的な構成であり、一方の側に2本のX軸方向案内棒51を設けた構成をそれぞれ示している。前記吐出部32のリップ部32aから前記固定金型47aの成形面に吐出される熱可塑性樹脂原料の反力により、リップ部32aが浮き上がる、すなわちリップ部32aと固定金型47aの成形面との隙間が変化するので、これを防止する必要がある。従って、金型47の平面的な大きさすなわちリップ部32aのリップ幅の広さにより、X軸方向案内棒51の適宜の構成が選択される。従って、案内棒51の形状のみの変更により、塗布装置3のサイズアップに対応できる。   As shown in some examples in FIGS. 2 to 4, the X-axis direction guide rod 51 is variously configured depending on the size of the molded body, that is, the planar size of the mold 47. That is, FIG. 2 shows a configuration when the molded body is small, a configuration in which one X-axis direction guide rod 51 is provided on one side, and FIG. 4 shows a configuration when the molded body is large, each on both sides. FIG. 3 shows an intermediate configuration in which one X-axis direction guide bar 51 is provided, and FIG. 3 shows a configuration in which two X-axis direction guide rods 51 are provided on one side. The lip portion 32a is lifted by the reaction force of the thermoplastic resin material discharged from the lip portion 32a of the discharge portion 32 onto the molding surface of the fixed mold 47a, that is, the lip portion 32a and the molding surface of the fixed mold 47a. Since the gap changes, it is necessary to prevent this. Accordingly, an appropriate configuration of the X-axis direction guide rod 51 is selected according to the planar size of the mold 47, that is, the width of the lip width of the lip portion 32a. Therefore, the size of the coating device 3 can be increased by changing only the shape of the guide bar 51.

以上のように構成された製造装置1において、成形体は以下のように製造される。すなわち、塗布装置3および成形装置4の全ての機器が調整され、熱可塑性樹脂原料が供給され、運転ができる状態になった時点で、まず、吐出部32のリップ部32aの位置の調整を行う。すなわち、成形装置4の金型47が開いた状態で、三次元移動架台33のX軸駆動装置33d、Y軸駆動装置33eおよびZ軸方向移動装置34を適宜に作動させ、吐出部32のリップ部32aを前進(X軸方向)させた後、リップ部32aの先端(下端)が固定金型47aの表面の所定(成形面)位置および所定距離を所定の隙間を維持して後退する状態を実現し、その運転条件を設定する。   In the manufacturing apparatus 1 configured as described above, the molded body is manufactured as follows. That is, when all the devices of the coating device 3 and the molding device 4 are adjusted and the thermoplastic resin raw material is supplied and ready for operation, the position of the lip portion 32a of the discharge portion 32 is first adjusted. . That is, with the mold 47 of the molding device 4 opened, the X-axis drive device 33d, the Y-axis drive device 33e and the Z-axis direction movement device 34 of the three-dimensional moving gantry 33 are appropriately operated to After the portion 32a is moved forward (in the X-axis direction), the tip (lower end) of the lip portion 32a is in a state of retreating with a predetermined (molding surface) position and a predetermined distance on the surface of the fixed mold 47a while maintaining a predetermined gap. Realize and set its operating conditions.

前記リップ部32aの位置の調整に際し、X軸方向については、X軸移動台33aがX軸駆動装置33dによりX軸方向へ、Y軸方向については、Y軸移動台33bがY軸駆動装置33eによりY軸方向へ、それぞれ直線的に往復移動して調整される。Z軸方向については、Z軸方向移動装置34により、吐出部32およびY軸移動台33bの先端部を介して、回転支持体33gに支持されたZ軸移動台33cが、回転支持体33gの支持点(支持軸)において、往復回転(俯仰)するため、図5で示すように、Z方向移動となる。 When adjusting the position of the lip portion 32a, in the X-axis direction, the X-axis moving table 33a is moved in the X-axis direction by the X-axis driving device 33d, and in the Y-axis direction, the Y-axis moving table 33b is moved in the Y-axis driving device 33e. Thus, adjustment is performed by reciprocating linearly in the Y-axis direction. Regarding the Z-axis direction, the Z-axis moving table 33c supported by the rotating support 33g via the discharge unit 32 and the tip of the Y-axis moving table 33b is moved by the Z-axis moving device 34 to the rotating support 33g. Since the support point (support shaft) is reciprocally rotated (elevated), as shown in FIG.

次に、成形装置4の金型47が開いた状態で、三次元移動架台33を作動させて固定金型47aの成形端まで吐出部32のリップ部32aを前進させ、可塑化部31から吐出部32へ供給された溶融状態の熱可塑性樹脂原料をリップ部32aから吐出しながら、所定の隙間を維持して所定距離を後退する。所定距離を後退した時点で熱可塑性樹脂原料の吐出を停止し、吐出部32の先端が少なくとも金型47の外部に到達するまでさらに後退し、停止する。すなわち、吐出部32のリップ部32aが固定金型47aの成形端から手前側まで後退する間に、リップ部32aから吐出される溶融状態の熱可塑性樹脂原料が固定金型47aの成形面に膜状に塗布される。   Next, in a state where the mold 47 of the molding apparatus 4 is opened, the three-dimensional moving gantry 33 is operated to advance the lip portion 32a of the discharge section 32 to the molding end of the fixed mold 47a. While the molten thermoplastic resin material supplied to the portion 32 is discharged from the lip portion 32a, a predetermined gap is maintained and the predetermined distance is retracted. When the predetermined distance is retracted, the discharge of the thermoplastic resin raw material is stopped, and the discharge is further retracted and stopped until at least the tip of the discharge portion 32 reaches the outside of the mold 47. That is, while the lip portion 32a of the discharge portion 32 is retracted from the molding end of the fixed mold 47a to the near side, the molten thermoplastic resin material discharged from the lip portion 32a is formed on the molding surface of the fixed mold 47a. It is applied to the shape.

さらに、成形装置4において、運転・制御装置49を操作し、可動盤駆動装置46を作動させて可動盤44を降下させると、可動金型47bが降下して固定金型47aと重合し、金型47が閉じる。この金型47が閉じた状態で、所定押付け力および所定時間によるプレス成形を行う。その後、図示しない剥離装置を作動させながら、可動盤駆動装置46を作動させて可動盤44上昇させる。可動盤44の上昇に伴って可動金型47bが上昇し、金型47が開く。開いた金型47から剥離した成形体を取り出し、成形体の製造が完了する。   Further, in the molding device 4, when the operation / control device 49 is operated to operate the movable platen drive device 46 and the movable platen 44 is lowered, the movable die 47b is lowered and superposed with the fixed die 47a, and the mold The mold 47 is closed. With this mold 47 closed, press molding is performed with a predetermined pressing force and a predetermined time. Thereafter, while operating the peeling device (not shown), the movable platen drive device 46 is operated to raise the movable platen 44. As the movable platen 44 rises, the movable mold 47b rises and the mold 47 opens. The peeled molded body is taken out from the opened mold 47, and the production of the molded body is completed.

以上の成形体の製造時において、可塑化部31、吐出部32およびこれ等に付属する機器等の重量が、そのX軸方向における重心点の下方付近において、回転支持体33gにより支持され、その部分が回転支持体33gのY軸のまわりに往復回転できるように構成されている。従って、吐出部32に設けられているZ軸方向移動装置34には、Z軸方向の小さい荷重しかかからない。その結果、吐出部32の先端部すなわちリップ部32aのZ軸方向の位置を、小さな動力で容易に移動し、制御することができる。また、Z軸方向移動装置34を案内するX軸方向案内棒51にも小さな荷重しかかからず、隙間精度の高い容易な案内が行われる。従って、実験の結果、前記三次元移動架台33は、X軸方向及びY軸方向で100μm、Z軸方向で10μmの許容範囲内で位置制御することが可能となった。 At the time of manufacturing the above molded body, the weights of the plasticizing part 31, the discharge part 32, and the devices attached to them are supported by the rotating support 33g near the center of gravity in the X-axis direction. The portion is configured to be able to reciprocate around the Y axis of the rotary support 33g. Therefore, only a small load in the Z-axis direction is applied to the Z-axis direction moving device 34 provided in the discharge unit 32. As a result, the tip end portion of the discharge portion 32, that is, the position of the lip portion 32a in the Z-axis direction can be easily moved and controlled with small power. Further, a small load is applied to the X-axis direction guide rod 51 for guiding the Z-axis direction moving device 34, and easy guidance with high clearance accuracy is performed. Therefore, as a result of the experiment, the position of the three-dimensional moving gantry 33 can be controlled within an allowable range of 100 μm in the X- axis direction and the Y-axis direction and 10 μm in the Z-axis direction.

また、X軸移動台33aのX軸方向において、回転支持体33gに平行して設けられ、Z軸移動台33cを支持する空気シリンダ33hは、運転中の重量バランスの変化を弾性的に支持して緩衝する。また、空気シリンダ33hは三次元移動架台33を構成する機器および部材ならびに関連機器間のバックラッシュを吸収し相殺する。その結果、製造装置1全体の滑らかな、安定した運転ができ、高い品質の成形体を効率よく製造することができる。   The air cylinder 33h, which is provided in parallel with the rotary support 33g in the X-axis direction of the X-axis moving table 33a and supports the Z-axis moving table 33c, elastically supports changes in weight balance during operation. To buffer. Further, the air cylinder 33h absorbs and cancels backlash between the devices and members constituting the three-dimensional moving mount 33 and related devices. As a result, the entire manufacturing apparatus 1 can be operated smoothly and stably, and a high-quality molded product can be efficiently manufactured.

従って、前述の三次元移動架台33による位置制御機構は、俯仰(Z軸)の円弧運動を、塗布装置3のX軸の直線運動と組み合わせているため、吐出部32の上下方向軌跡を擬似直線動作させることができる。   Therefore, since the position control mechanism using the above-described three-dimensional moving gantry 33 combines the arcuate motion of the elevation (Z-axis) with the linear motion of the X-axis of the coating device 3, the vertical trajectory of the discharge unit 32 is quasi-linear. It can be operated.

また、本出願人が実施した例について述べると、アクリル樹脂又はポリスチレン樹脂を用いると、可塑化温度は300℃以上、成形された樹脂製品は、数百nmからの微細凹凸形状を正確に転写した成形体を得ることができる。 In addition, when an example carried out by the present applicant is described, when an acrylic resin or a polystyrene resin is used, the plasticizing temperature is 300 ° C. or higher, and the molded resin product accurately transfers a fine uneven shape from several hundred nm. it is possible to obtain the formation form.
