Abstract

PURPOSE: To prevent generation of no good appearance such as flow marks, uneven gloss and jetting at the surface of a molded part, and generation of uneven wall thickness and so on. CONSTITUTION: By bringing the ends of a plurality of control pins 5 in/out of a mold cavity 4, injection molding is carried out while controlling flowing direction, flowing speed and pressure distribution inside the cavity of injected resin. It is desirable that the ends of a plurality of control pins 5a, 5b should be selectively-brought in and out with the passage of time. This can be applied to injection compression molding, injection stamping, hollow injection molding and so on in addition to ordinary injection molding. It is thus possible to variably-adjust the flowing condition and pressure distribution of the injected resin 17 in the cavity 4 by the operation of the control pin 5.

Generally, a molded product has a wall thickness of 1.5 to 3.0 mm.
A normal injection molding method is used in which a thermoplastic resin is pressure-filled in a mold of a desired shape before and after by injection molding, but a molded product having a relatively large area, various sheets on the surface, In the case of decorative integral molding with cloths, an injection compression molding method (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-137713, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-137713).

In various molding methods centering on these injection molding methods, since a plasticized thermoplastic resin is filled into a target mold to obtain a molded product, the flow direction and speed of the resin in the mold are It has greatly affected the appearance of molded products.
However, when the shape of the mold is determined, there is only a method for controlling the multi-stage filling speed by an injection molding machine for the flow direction and speed of the resin during filling in the mold, which causes various problems in the appearance of the molded product. Hereinafter, problems in various injection molding methods will be described.

In the general injection molding method, once the shape of the mold is determined, the flow velocity and direction of the thermoplastic resin in the mold at the time of molding are mainly controlled by the following method. That is, regarding the flow rate, changing the fluidity of the thermoplastic resin itself, changing the plasticization temperature in the molding machine,
Alternatively, the flow rate of the resin in the mold is adjusted by controlling the injection speed in multiple stages using the function of the injection molding machine. However, these are all controls of the resin in a plasticized state before entering the mold, and it has not been possible to accurately control the actual behavior of the resin in the mold.

On the other hand, with respect to the flow direction, it is generally practiced to provide a rib having a wall thickness so as to guide the resin in the mold and change the direction of the resin in the mold along the rib. I could hardly control it. Therefore, where there is a change in wall thickness or where the flow path changes abruptly, flow marks, uneven gloss, and other appearance defects occur, and the place where the resin-to-resin joint is called weld is also uncontrollable.
There were many problems in terms of appearance and physical properties of the molded product.
Therefore, there has conventionally been a demand for a method of accurately controlling the flow velocity, the direction, the resin pressure, etc. of the resin in the mold to solve these problems.

Further, when a thick-walled molded product having a wall thickness of 3.0 mm or more is molded by a normal injection molding method, the thermoplastic resin injected into the mold is a resin having a small diameter from a resin gate having a wide space. Since it is discharged into the mold cavity, the resin at the time of injection is solidified in a string shape in the vicinity of the gate, which causes a so-called jetting appearance defect in which the surface of the molded product exhibits a meandering pattern. Therefore, generally, the resin gate position is provided so as to hit the cavity surface so that the thermoplastic resin injected into the mold does not directly jump out into the space inside the mold cavity, or just before entering the cavity. To prevent jetting, the runner part of the is enlarged in stages. However, the position of the resin gate and the size of the gate diameter become a big problem in a product in which the appearance of the molded product is important, and therefore many restrictions are imposed on the mold design. Therefore, there has been a demand for a molding method capable of obtaining a thick-walled molded product having a good appearance without jetting without providing restrictions on the mold design such as changing the resin gate position and diameter.

Furthermore, an injection compression molding method used for manufacturing a molded product having a wide area and requiring a uniform wall thickness, and a molded product which is not susceptible to warp deformation due to residual stress after molding,
In an injection stamping molding method in which various skin materials and a thermoplastic resin are integrally molded, the resin is injected in a state where the mold is open, and then the resin is uniformly compressed and filled on the projection surface by the mold clamping, and a predetermined amount is obtained. Shape the shape. In these methods, the shape of the supplied resin spreads concentrically from the resin gate, and even at the compression shaping stage by mold clamping, the resin flow that expands concentrically fills the resin to the end of the mold. For this reason, the resin first reaches a position near the resin gate even in the periphery of the molded product, the pressure in this part rises, and the excess resin flowing in this direction is sequentially distributed to the peripheral part far from the resin gate. Then, the part farthest from the gate is filled and the shaping is completed. Therefore, the filling pressure is high in the peripheral portion where the resin first reaches and is low in the portion where the resin finally reaches, and this pressure difference slightly corresponds to the change in the wall thickness when a molded product having a uniform wall thickness is obtained.

On the other hand, in the integral decorative molding method of the skin material and the thermoplastic resin, the peripheral portion, which is close to the resin gate in the distance and first reaches the resin, is used for the decoration by the increase of the resin pressure due to the compression. The thermoplastic resin leaks through the skin material,
On the other hand, the portion far from the gate and arriving at the end is not fully filled with the resin, so that it is easy to become unfilled called short shot. To solve such problems, increase the number of gates for resin supply, shorten the flow distance from the gates, and, like the injection molding method, provide thick ribs on the molded product toward the peripheral part that is difficult to fill and flow. By giving the role of a leader, the resin filling speed to the peripheral end is adjusted. However, if the number of gates is increased, it is difficult to balance the resin supply amount of each gate, and the resin supply is apt to be biased, and the runner portion remaining in the molded product is also increased, which is complicated. on the other hand,
Even if a thick rib is provided on the molded product to give it the role of a flow leader, unlike the injection molding method in which the resin is filled into the closed mold, the last step of closing the mold in injection compression and injection stamping. At the time of several mm, the resin only slightly moves in the rib portion for the first time, and has little role as a flow leader. In this way, after the resin is supplied into the mold by the injection compression molding method or the injection stamping molding method, the supplied resin is preferentially guided to the peripheral portion farther than the gate until shaping by mold clamping, When shaping the final mold, the resin is filled in the peripheral part of the molded product in a substantially uniform time regardless of the distance from the gate, and the resin pressure in the mold is such that the resin pressure in the peripheral part is almost uniform. There was a need for a method that could control the speed.

Furthermore, even in the hollow injection molding method in which an inert gas is injected into the plasticized resin by an injection molding method using a thermoplastic resin, appearance defects such as uneven gloss and flow marks on the surface of the molded product are observed. Was a big problem. That is, in the hollow injection molding method, during or after the injection of the plasticized thermoplastic resin into the mold, generally, an inert gas such as nitrogen gas is injected along the flow direction of the resin, The resin being filled is accelerated by gas pressure, and the skin layer once cooled and solidified is moved to the mold surface, or the moving speed in the mold of the resin flow front end is significantly changed,
The appearance defects of molded products, which are called flow marks and uneven gloss, occur remarkably. For this reason, in TV cabinets and automobile interior parts where appearance is important, the surface of the molded product is painted,
The mold surface is made into a product by making fine defects or specific irregularities called pearskin finish or specific irregularities on the mold surface in advance (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-216325) to make defects inconspicuous. However, after molding,
The method of concealing appearance defects by painting requires separate pre-treatment, painting, and solvent removal painting steps, which requires a large amount of capital investment, as well as an increase in the period and a defective rate due to painting, resulting in product yield. Also remarkably decreases, which is not preferable. Further, the method of making unevenness on the surface of the mold to make the surface of the molded product skin-textured or satin-finished did not completely eliminate flow marks and uneven gloss, and was not sufficient for improving the appearance of the molded product. in this way,
Even in the hollow injection molding method in which an inert gas is injected into the thermoplastic resin, there has been a demand for a molding method that gives a molded article a good surface appearance.

Furthermore, regarding the hollowing of a product having a relatively large wall thickness by the hollow injection molding method, when the inert gas was injected by the usual injection molding method, the injected inert gas was plasticized. Since the thermoplastic resin penetrates in the direction with the least resistance, the shape of the hollow portion changes under a slight molding condition and becomes different for each molding, and it is difficult to hollow the target portion. To eliminate this,
In recent years, a so-called core-back gas injection molding method for injecting a mold of a hollow portion into a mold in which a thermoplastic resin is injected, and then opening the mold in accordance with an injection amount of an inert gas to uniformly make the hollow (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-2128).
No. 22, JP-A-4-255314 and others) have been proposed and put to practical use. In this method, although it is possible to stably obtain a hollow surface of the mold, which is a target, it is necessary to provide a mechanism for moving a part of the mold by a predetermined amount. The appearance of the molded product on the surface deteriorates. Therefore, there is a need for a method that injects an inert gas as close as possible to a general injection molding method, and surely guides the flow direction of the injected inert gas in the same direction for each molding, so that stable production is possible. Was there.

It is recommended that the control pin of the present invention is installed in the mold cavity, which is the back surface opposite to the front surface where the appearance of the molded product is emphasized. Here, it is recommended that the diameter of the control pin be small for small molded products and thin molded products, and thick for large molded products and thick molded products, generally 1.0 to 1
0.0 mm is suitable. If the diameter is 1.0 mm or less, the effect of cooling the resin by the pin and the flow inhibition effect is small,
If it is 0.0 mm or more, the resin flow inhibiting effect is too large to perform delicate control. Therefore, a particularly preferable pin diameter is about 3.0 mm or more and 8.0 mm or less. However, since there is a marked difference in the resin flow in the mold depending on the shape, wall thickness, and size of the molded product, it is not limited to the above pin diameter and it is possible to change it to the optimum diameter as necessary. The cross section is not limited to a circle, but may be an ellipse or a droplet type. The height of the control pin of the present invention is recommended to be 1/4 or more and 2/3 or less of the thickness of the molded product. When the height of the pin of the present invention is 1/4 or less of the wall thickness of the molded product, the effect of inhibiting the resin flow in the mold is small, and when it is 2/3 or more of the wall thickness of the molded product,
On the contrary, a resin flow pattern due to pins is generated on the surface of the molded product, resulting in poor appearance. Therefore, the preferable pin height is preferably 1/3 or more and 1/2 or less of the thickness of the molded product. The number of control pins of the present invention installed so as to hinder the flow of the thermoplastic resin in the mold cavity is not particularly limited, and it may be set at a plurality of positions according to the shape of the molded product and the purpose. It is possible.

Among the appearance defects caused by injection molding, in order to eliminate flow marks, gloss unevenness, etc., the thermoplastic resin injected from the resin gate undergoes a sudden change in the flow direction,
The movable control pin of the present invention is provided on the resin flow path in the mold cavity that reaches the location where the wall thickness changes rapidly and the flow velocity changes rapidly. Using this mold, when the thermoplastic resin injected from the gate reaches the control pin, or during or after passing through the control pin, the pin is retracted to completely fill the resin in the mold. That is, when the thermoplastic resin injected from the resin gate gradually fills the mold cavity as a diffusive flow, the control pin of the present invention provided in the cavity causes resistance and cooling of the thermoplastic resin. The flow is obstructed by being entangled with the pin, and the resin flow in that direction is suppressed, but the resin flow in the other directions is accelerated. After the resin flow in the peripheral portion other than the vicinity of the control pin is accelerated for a certain period of time, by retracting the control pin of the present invention from the cavity, the flow in the original pin direction is also delayed from the time and recovered from the surroundings, Finally, the mold is filled up to the end of the mold, and a trace of the resin flow regulated by the control pin does not appear in the molded product, so that a molded product having a good appearance can be obtained.

Further, in order to eliminate the appearance defect called jetting, which appears when a thick-walled molded product is manufactured by the injection molding method, the movable control pin of the present invention is similarly used for the resin in the mold cavity. It is recommended to install it just before the gate. That is, in order to prevent the plasticized thermoplastic resin from scattering from the gate into the mold cavity, the resin injected into the control pin of the present invention provided in front of the gate is struck, and after a certain time, near the gate. When is filled with the lump of injected resin and there is no fear of resin scattering, the tip of the control pin is retracted to the mold cavity surface. After that, a thermoplastic resin is filled up to the end of the mold cavity to obtain a thick-walled molded product having an excellent surface appearance without jetting.

Further, in the case of manufacturing a molded article having an opening by an injection molding method or injecting a resin from a multi-point gate, the position change of the weld line caused by the association of the resins can be changed. This is possible by providing the control pin in the mold cavity. That is, the control pin of the present invention is provided at a desired location on one side of the location where the resins are associated with each other by the resin flow in the normal mold cavity. As a result, when the resin is filled by injection molding, the resin flow from one side is suppressed by this control pin, while the resin flow on the other side advances and flows into the vicinity of the control pin. At this stage, the position of the weld line can be changed to a desired position by appropriately retracting the control pin to the same surface as the mold cavity surface and filling the cavity with resin.

On the other hand, in the injection compression molding method and the injection stamping molding method, the thermoplastic resin is injected into the mold cavity at the stage where the mold is not completely closed, and the resin is compressed in the mold by the mold clamping. To fill. Here, the movable control pin of the present invention can be arranged in the mold cavity in order to fill the resin around the molded product in a substantially uniform time regardless of the resin gate position for supplying the resin. That is, the control pin is provided between the resin gate and the closest peripheral portion, and is provided at a plurality of places such as between the control gate and the next closest peripheral portion. When the resin injected into the mold through the control pins provided at these plural positions flows by compression due to mold clamping and spreads in the mold cavity, the resin is entangled with the control pins of the present invention from the resin gate. The operation is performed such that the control pin provided at the farthest place is sequentially withdrawn from the control pin provided near the gate in stages. That is, when viewed from the mold projection surface, the shape of the supplied thermoplastic resin gradually changes from a concentric shape centered on the resin gate to a reduced similarity shape of the molded product projection surface and a projection surface shape. , So that the control pin can be withdrawn according to the tightening. In this way, the injection compression molding method and the injection stamping molding method make the resin filling time around the flow end of the mold cavity almost the same, so that the resin from the mold or the skin material due to the partial resin pressure difference Leakage and partial difference in wall thickness are eliminated, and a resin molded product having a good surface appearance and a uniform wall thickness can be obtained.

Flow mark in the hollow injection molding method,
These problems can be solved by using the flow control pin of the present invention even for the appearance defect called uneven gloss. In the hollow injection molding method, an inert gas such as nitrogen gas is injected into the plasticized thermoplastic resin that is injected or is being injected into the mold cavity. Therefore, the thermoplastic resin moving in the mold cavity is partially accelerated and significantly decelerated at the flow end to be filled. Here, in the mold cavity, one or more flow regulating pins of the present invention are provided at a plurality of positions perpendicular to the flow direction of the resin from the resin gate to the flow end. When the resin is injected from the resin gate and the inert gas is injected inside and moves in the mold cavity, the resin reaches the control pins one by one, and when the resin is entangled, it is sequentially retracted from the pin closer to the gate, The resin flow rate in the mold due to gas injection is suppressed. By providing the control pin of the present invention in the mold cavity in this way, the appearance defects such as flow marks and uneven gloss, which were problems in the hollow injection molding method, are eliminated, and a hollow injection molded product having an excellent surface appearance. Can be obtained.

Further, in the hollow injection molding method, the control pin of the present invention can be used for controlling the flow direction of the injected inert gas when the molded product having a relatively large wall thickness is made highly hollow. The inert gas injected by the hollow injection molding method penetrates in the direction of the least resistance in the resin during filling in the mold. Therefore, due to changes in molding conditions, the inflow direction of the injected inert gas changes every time, and it is difficult to stably introduce the inert gas into a target portion. Therefore, the inert gas can be introduced in a desired direction by installing the control pin of the present invention in the mold cavity at an appropriate position in the direction where it is desired to prevent gas diffusion from the gas injection port. The diameter of the control pin that regulates the inert gas is generally 0.5 mm to 10.0 mm. When the diameter is 0.5 mm or less, the effect of inhibiting the resin from cooling and flow by the pin is small, and when the diameter is 10.0 mm or more, the effect of inhibiting the resin flow is too large and delicate control cannot be performed. Therefore,
Particularly preferable control pin diameter is 1.0 mm or more and 5.0 mm
It is about the following. However, since there is a marked difference in the resin flow in the mold depending on the shape, wall thickness, and size of the molded product, it is not limited to the above pin diameter, and it is possible to change it to an appropriate diameter as necessary. However, the cross section is not limited to a circular shape, and may be an oval shape, a droplet shape, or the like.

The height of the gas control pin of the present invention is recommended to be 1/4 or more and 2/3 or less of the wall thickness of the molded product. When the height of the pin of the present invention is 1/4 or less of the wall thickness of the molded product, the effect of inhibiting the resin flow in the mold is small, and 2/3 of the wall thickness of the molded product is obtained.
In the above, the flow pattern of the resin due to the control pin is generated on the surface of the molded product, resulting in poor appearance. Therefore, the preferable pin height is preferably 1/3 or more and 1/2 or less of the thickness of the molded product. The number of control pins of the present invention installed so as to inhibit the flow of the inert gas in the mold cavity is not particularly limited, and a plurality of control pins can be installed at a plurality of positions depending on the shape of the molded product and the purpose. Therefore, it is recommended to use a movable type especially when the appearance of the molded product is emphasized.
