- the molten resin 14 injected from the lower injection machine in FIG. 3 flows from the lower side to the upper side, that is, in the direction of the arrow X, while the molten resin injected from the upper injection machine is injected.
- the resin 16 flows from the top to the bottom, that is, in the direction of the arrow Y.
- the first heater 44 and the second heater 46 Prior to the molten resins 14 and 16 being introduced into the cavity 52, the first heater 44 and the second heater 46 are energized. For this reason, in the molten resins 14 and 16, the temperature rises at a portion in the vicinity of the vertical wall 40 and the inclined wall 42 of the concave mold 32, and curing is difficult to occur. That is, the flowable state is maintained at the part.
- the flow rate of the molten resins 14 and 16 are small on the surface layer side in contact with the convex mold 34 or the concave mold 32 and large on the inner side. For this reason, the flow direction front ends of the molten resins 14 and 16 have a curved shape in which the inner side protrudes from the surface layer side. Since the aluminum flakes 12 are oriented along the bending direction of the tips at the tips of the molten resins 14 and 16 in the flow direction, the longitudinal direction of the aluminum flakes 12 is inclined with respect to the flow direction.
- the design surface 24 side of the weld portion 18 is uncured. This is because the surface layer portion of the molten resins 14 and 16 facing the concave mold 32 is heated by the first heater 44 and the second heater 46 as described above. On the other hand, on the back surface 26 side of the weld portion 18, the heat is taken away by the convex mold 34, so that the curing proceeds in a shorter time than other portions. That is, the skin layer 58 is formed.

- the longitudinal direction of the aluminum flakes 12 can be made to substantially coincide with the surface direction of the design surface 24 on the design surface 24 side of the weld portion 18.
- the skin layer 58 is formed on the back surface 26 side of the weld portion 18, almost no flow occurs when pressure is applied from the gate. For this reason, the posture of the aluminum flakes 12 is not corrected. Therefore, the aluminum flakes 12 maintain a posture in which the longitudinal direction is inclined with respect to the flow direction.
- the resin molded product 10 exhibiting sufficient gloss can be obtained regardless of whether or not the weld portion 18 is obtained through the above-described process.
- the movable platen 48 and the convex mold 34 are displaced in a direction away from the concave mold 32 under the action of the displacement mechanism, thereby performing mold opening.

- the unevenness 60 is preferably provided as a constant shape having a regular wave shape with a constant amplitude, wavelength and the like.
- the number of those having the inclination angle of 60 ° is substantially equal to the number of those having the inclination angle of 40 °. That is, the numbers of aluminum flakes 12 having different inclination angles are substantially equal. For this reason, substantially the same glossiness can be recognized even if the viewing angles are different.

- the driven nest 128 When the nest 106 is heated and thermally expanded, the driven nest 128 operates as follows. With the thermal expansion of the insert 106, the inclined surface 106d of the insert 106 moves in the direction toward the inclined surface 130c of the fixed mold 104. Then, the tapered surface 128 a of the driven nest 128 is pressed by the inclined surface 106 d of the nest 106.

However, if each angle and the position of the driven nest 128 are designed so that the end 128d of the driven nest 128 coincides with the partition line PL when the nest 106 is thermally expanded, there is an advantage that the molding material is not wasted. Since it is obtained, it is preferable. Specifically, the amount of thermal expansion of the insert 106 at the melting temperature of the molding material may be calculated, and the amount by which the inclined surface 106d of the insert 106 moves toward the inclined surface 130c side of the fixed mold 104 may be calculated.

- the mold closing timing may be, for example, when the temperature T of the nest 106 is detected by a temperature sensor or the like and the detected value becomes close to the predetermined temperature T2 of the heating oil, or the nest 106 as shown in FIG. If the temperature transition is known, it may be when a predetermined time has elapsed since the supply of the heating oil was started.

- the mold opening timing may be, for example, when the temperature T of the nest 106 is detected by a temperature sensor or the like and the detected value becomes close to the predetermined temperature T1, as shown in FIG. If the temperature transition of the insert 106 is known, it may be when a predetermined time has elapsed since the supply of the cooling oil was started.
- step S10 After the mold opening in step S10, when the upper plate 118 shown in FIG. 7 is moved to the movable mold 108 side, the ejector pin 122 protrudes from the convex portion 108a of the movable mold 108 and pushes the solidified molded product. In this way, the molded product is taken out from the convex portion 108a of the movable mold 108 (step S11).
- step S12 NO

- step S12 YES
- the process is terminated after the molded product is taken out in step S11.
- the volume of the gap 126 when the nest 106 is not thermally expanded is larger than the amount of thermal expansion of the nest 106 (the volume of the nest 106 increased due to thermal expansion). For this reason, the gap 126 is maintained even if the insert 106 is thermally expanded. That is, even if the nest 106 is thermally expanded, the outer peripheral surface 106 c of the nest 106 is not in contact with the inner peripheral surface 130 b of the pocket portion 130 of the fixed mold 104, and no stress is generated on the nest 106. Accordingly, the insert 106 is not cracked due to stress.
- the gap 126 functions as a heat insulating layer, heat conduction from the insert 106 to the fixed mold 104 is suppressed. That is, the heat of the insert 106 is not taken away by the fixed mold 104. For this reason, the temperature of the nest
- the gap 126 functions as a heat insulating layer, heat conduction from the insert 106 to the fixed mold 104 is suppressed. That is, the fixed mold 104 does not take heat of the insert 106 and does not thermally expand. Therefore, even if the mold is closed after raising the temperature of the insert 106 while the mold is open, no galling occurs between the guide pin bush 132 of the fixed mold 104 and the guide pin 146 of the movable mold 108. Therefore, it is possible to raise the temperature of the insert 106 while the mold is open. If the mold is closed and the temperature of the insert 106 is raised as in the prior art, the temperature of the insert 106 is taken by the movable mold 108.
- the temperature of the nest 106 is not lost to the movable mold 108. Also in this respect, the temperature of the insert 106 can be quickly increased, and the molding cycle can be shortened.
- the driven nest 128 is disposed between the runner 142 and the gap 126, and always closes the gap 126. For this reason, when filling the cavity 124 with the molding material, the molding material does not flow into the gap 126 from the runner 142. Accordingly, the molding material can be prevented from flowing into the gap 126 and becoming a burr.
- the end portion 128d of the driven nest 128 moves to a position that coincides with the partition line PL when the nest 106 is thermally expanded. For this reason, generation
- the driven nest 128 is made of a material having a lower thermal conductivity than the nest 106 or the fixed mold 104. For this reason, conduction of heat of the insert 106 to the fixed mold 104 through the driven insert 128 is suppressed.
- the insert 106 is made of a material having high thermal conductivity. For this reason, the temperature of the nest

- the width W1 of the guide hole 162 of the fixed mold 152 is substantially the same as the width W2 of the positioning block 166 of the insert 154.
- the length L1 of the guide hole 162 of the fixed mold 152 is longer than the length L2 of the positioning block 166 of the insert 154, and a gap is formed at both longitudinal ends of the guide hole 162 and the positioning block 166. .
- the knock pin 164 of the insert 154 is inserted into the pin hole 160 of the fixed mold 152, and the plurality of positioning blocks 166 of the insert 154 are inserted into the plurality of guide holes 162 of the fixed mold 152, respectively. It is fixed to the fixed mold 152.
- the insert 154 when the insert 154 is heated, the insert 154 thermally expands around the knock pin 164 as a base point. At this time, the positioning block 166 is guided by the guide hole 162 so as to operate in the radial direction around the knock pin 164. Therefore, the direction of thermal expansion of the insert 154 is restricted to the longitudinal direction of each guide hole 162.
- the insert 154 is fixed to one mold, that is, the fixed mold 152 at the position of the center of gravity of the bottom surface 154b attached to one mold, that is, the fixed mold 152. For this reason, it becomes possible to expand the nest
- the guide hole 162 regulates the expansion direction of the insert 154. For this reason, it becomes easier to design the fixed mold 152, the insert 154, and the driven insert 128.

以下、本発明に係る樹脂成形品及びその製造方法と、それを実施するための射出成形装置につき好適な実施の形態を挙げ、添付の図面を参照して詳細に説明する。なお、各図面においては、金属フレークが添加されていることを表すべく、その大きさを誇張して示している。
<射出成形金型全体の構成>
図7は第1の実施の形態に係る射出成形金型102の断面図である。射出成形金型102は主要な構成部品として、金型本体を構成する固定金型104、入れ子106及び可動金型108と、固定金型104と射出成形機(図示なし、以下同様)の固定盤との間に介在する固定側取付け板110と、可動金型108と射出成形機の可動盤との間に介在する可動側取付け板112と、可動金型108と可動側取付け板112との間に介在して空間114を形成するスペーサブロック116と、空間114の内部に設けられる上板118及び下板120と、上板118に取り付けられて可動金型108に挿通されるエジェクタピン122と、を有する。入れ子106と可動金型108との間にはキャビティ124が形成され、入れ子106の外周面106cと固定金型104の内周面130bとの間には隙間126が形成される。また、射出成形金型102は、入れ子106と固定金型104の間に、入れ子106の動作に従って動作しつつ隙間126を閉塞する従動入れ子128を有する。固定金型104と可動金型108との合わせ目には分割面(パーテーションライン又はパーティングラインという)PLが形成される。
第1の実施の形態の特徴の一つは、射出成形金型102が、入れ子106の外周面106cと一方の金型すなわち固定金型104のポケット部130の内周面130bとの間に形成される隙間126と、入れ子106の熱膨張に従って動作しつつ隙間126を閉塞する従動入れ子128と、を有する点にある。図8を用いて、従動入れ子128に関連する説明をする。図8は従動入れ子128及びその周辺部分を拡大して示す断面図である。
次に射出成形金型102を用いる射出成形方法の手順を、図9のフローチャートを用いると共に図7、図8、図10を参照しつつ説明する。図9は第1の実施の形態に係る射出成形方法の手順を示すフローチャートである。図10は射出成形時の入れ子106の温度推移を示すタイムチャートである。
第1の実施の形態において、入れ子106が熱膨張していないときの隙間126の容積は、入れ子106の熱膨張量(熱膨張による入れ子106の増加分の容積)よりも大きい。このため、入れ子106が熱膨張しても隙間126は維持される。すなわち、入れ子106が熱膨張しても、入れ子106の外周面106cと固定金型104のポケット部130の内周面130bとが接触することはなく、入れ子106に応力が生じることはない。従って、入れ子106には応力に起因するクラックが生じない。
図11は第2の実施の形態に係る固定金型152側の断面図である。図12は第2の実施の形態に係る固定金型152の底面図である。図11、図12で示すように、入れ子154は、底面154bにノックピン164及び複数の位置決めブロック166を有する。ノックピン164は、入れ子154の底面154bにおける重心位置に形成されている。各位置決めブロック166は、ノックピン164を中心とした放射方向を長手方向とするように配置されている。固定金型152は、入れ子154のノックピン164及び複数の位置決めブロック166と対向する位置に、ポケット部156の底部156aから底面158まで貫通するピン孔160及び複数のガイド孔162を有する。
図13は第3の実施の形態に係る固定金型104側の断面図である。第3の実施の形態は、第1の実施の形態と比較して、固定金型104と入れ子106との間に断熱プレート172を設けた点で異なる。
第1の実施の形態では、従動入れ子128がテーパ面128a、128bを有しているが、従動入れ子128がいずれかのテーパ面(この場合傾斜面という)のみを有していてもよい。
