[0003] In the case of manufacturing a long molded product among the above-mentioned hollow molded products, for example, a resin gate for injecting a molten resin into a cavity and a gas gate for injecting a gas for forming a hollow portion are provided. , A so-called multi-point gate type mold may be used. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C, a resin gate 3 and a gas gate 4 are provided on the left and right sides of the cavity 2, respectively.
May be used.

In this case, first, as shown in FIG. 6A, molten resin 7 is injected into the cavity 2 from the two resin gates 3 (arrow R). Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6B, gas injection (arrow G) is performed into the molten resin 7 respectively. Thereby, the hollow portions 71 and 72 are formed in the molten resin 7 while the left and right molten resins 7 advance toward the center.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6C, the molten resin 7 which has advanced from both sides abuts and integrates to form a molded product, and a weld portion 6 is formed substantially at the center thereof. At this time, the hollow portion 71 in the resin 7
The gas forming 72 also becomes equilibrium in pressure and stops its progress. As a result, a long hollow molded body 9 having the above weld portion 6 is obtained.

However, the conventional method of manufacturing the hollow molded article 9 has the following problems. That is, as described above, the hollow molded body manufactured by the multipoint gate type molding die has the welded portion 6 formed at the portion where the molten resin 7 contacts.

The weld portion 6 is solid and thicker than the portion having the hollow portions 71 and 72. Therefore, in the process of cooling the molten resin 7, sinks may occur on the outer surface of the welded portion 6, or conversely, swelling may occur. That is, a molded article having the weld portion 6 is liable to have poor appearance.

The orientation of the resin in the hollow molded body 9 is generally formed along the flow direction of the molten resin 7. However, as shown in FIG. 7, the orientation S of the resin in the weld portion 6 is formed along the contact surface of the molten resin 7 in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the molten resin 7 flows. Therefore, the strength against the bending stress or the like received from the outside tends to be weaker in the weld portion 6 than in the portion having the hollow portions 71 and 72 due to the difference in the orientation.

In particular, when the resin is reinforced by including a fibrous filler such as glass fiber or carbon fiber, the orientation of the fibrous filler also changes with the orientation of the resin in accordance with the orientation of the resin. Formed along the interface,
The strengthening action is halved. Therefore, the strength of the welded portion of the obtained hollow molded body is locally reduced, and the value as a strength component is reduced.

On the other hand, the multipoint gate of the above-mentioned mold is connected to one gate.
When the number is reduced to one, the formation of the weld portion 6 can be eliminated. However, in this case, since it is necessary to supply the molten resin from one gate to the entire cavity, the flowability of the molten resin is deteriorated when the length is long, and a problem may occur in the moldability itself. is there. Therefore, the number of gates cannot be simply reduced.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, a plurality of resin gates are used to inject molten resin into a cavity, and then a plurality of hollow portions are formed by injecting gas into the molten resin from a plurality of gas gates. At the same time, a weld is formed between the hollows due to the contact of the flow of the molten resin, and then the gas pressure in at least one of the plurality of gas gates is reduced below the pressure of the other gas gates. Then, the weld portion is broken to form a through hollow portion, and the method for manufacturing a hollow molded body is provided.

In the molding die for carrying out the above method, as described above, a resin gate and a gas gate are provided at a plurality of locations. In this case, the resin gate and the gas gate can be used in accordance with the shape of the cavity or the like, or can be provided separately and independently.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. In the method for producing a hollow molded body of the present invention, as described above,
After the formation of the weld portion, the pressure of at least one of the plurality of gas gates is made lower than the pressure of the other gas gates. As a result, the internal pressure of the hollow portion corresponding to the low-pressure gas gate becomes low.

Therefore, the weld formed between the hollow portion in the low pressure state and the other hollow portion in the high pressure state is pressed by the pressure difference in the hollow portion on the low pressure side and is broken. As a result, the hollow portion penetrates from the high pressure side to the low pressure side, and it is possible to prevent the weld portion from remaining after molding.

The surplus resin existing in the weld portion is disposed so as to cover the inner surface of the low pressure side hollow portion due to the destruction of the weld portion (see FIG. 4). The orientation of the surplus resin portion covered is the same as that of the originally hollow portion, that is, the resin flow direction. Therefore, unlike the conventional case, the strength of only the weld portion does not decrease due to the difference in orientation. Therefore, the hollow molded article obtained by the present invention can have excellent appearance and no strength unevenness even when molded using a multipoint gate type mold.

Next, as in the second aspect of the present invention, the molten resin may contain a fibrous filler. Examples of the fibrous filler include carbon fiber, glass fiber, metal fiber, and inorganic needle-like filler. As a result, the entire hollow molded body can be strengthened, and a locally weak portion does not occur in the weld portion unlike the conventional case.

That is, as described above, the orientation of the molten resin also becomes the same direction as the flow direction of the molten resin even in the weld portion, and accordingly, the orientation of the fibrous filler also becomes the same direction. Therefore, the strength of only the weld portion is not reduced, and the effect of the addition of the fibrous filler can be maximized.

In this case, the content of the fibrous filler in the molten resin is preferably 15 to 60% by weight. If the amount is less than 15% by weight, there is a problem that the reinforcing effect by the addition cannot be sufficiently obtained, while if it exceeds 60% by weight, there is a problem that the toughness of the resin is reduced.

When the molding is completed in this state, the weld portion 6 remains as in the conventional case. Therefore, the weld portion 6 is eliminated by the following procedure. That is, FIG.
The pressure of the left gas gate 3 in the inside is reduced. As a result, the internal pressure of the left hollow portion 71 decreases, while the right hollow portion 72 remains at a high pressure, so that the pressure difference between the two increases.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1D, the nitrogen gas flows in the direction of arrow L, and the weld portion 6 is broken down toward the low pressure side. Therefore, the surplus resin 65 existing in the welded portion 6 covers the inner surface of the hollow portion 71 on the low pressure side. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 3, the roof rail 8 having one penetrating hollow portion 70 is obtained. still,
