Description

本発明は、熱可塑性樹脂の射出成形などに用いられるバルブゲート式金型装置とその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a valve gate mold apparatus used for injection molding of a thermoplastic resin and the like, and a manufacturing method thereof.

製品キャビティへのゲートまでの材料通路内の成形材料である樹脂を加熱して常時溶融状態に保つホットランナー金型装置において、ゲートをバルブ体であるバルブピンにより機械的に開閉するバルブゲート式金型装置が知られている。なお、ホットランナー金型装置は、成形能率を高めることを目的としたものであり、ゲートを閉じるのは、型開時などにゲートから樹脂が漏れるのを防止するためである。   In a hot runner mold device that heats the resin that is the molding material in the material passage to the gate to the product cavity and keeps it in a molten state at all times, a valve gate mold that mechanically opens and closes the gate with a valve pin that is a valve body The device is known. The hot runner mold apparatus is intended to increase the molding efficiency, and the gate is closed to prevent the resin from leaking from the gate when the mold is opened.

ここで、従来のバルブゲート式金型装置について説明する。型体である固定型と可動型は互いに移動して開閉し、型閉時に相互間に製品形状の製品キャビティを形成する。固定型は固定側型板と固定側受け板とを備え、固定側型板には前記製品キャビティへ開口するゲートが形成されている。前記固定側受け板及び固定側型板に貫通形成された組込み孔にはバルブ装置のバルブケーシングが組み込まれている。このバルブケーシングはほぼ筒状になっており、その中心に前記ゲートに連通する材料通路が形成されている。前記バルブケーシングの外周面には材料通路内の成形材料である熱可塑性樹脂を常時溶融状態に保つための手段であるコイルヒーターと、このコイルヒーターを外側から覆うヒータカバーとが設けられている。前記バルブケーシングの材料通路にはマニホールドの材料通路であるライナーが接続され、このランナーには射出成形機から成形材料が送られてくる。前記バルブケーシング内には油圧シリンダーなどにより駆動されてガイドブッシュに支持されながら移動することにより前記ゲートブッシュのゲートを開閉するバルブピンが設けられている。このバルブピンはゲートブッシュのゲートに嵌合してこれを閉塞する。そして成形時には、複数の型体を型閉してこれら型体間に製品キャビティを形成するとともにゲートを開き、材料通路からゲートを介して製品キャビティ内に成形材料を充填する。ついで、バルブピンによりゲートブッシュのゲートを閉じ、さらに、製品キャビティ内の成形材料が固化した後、型開して製品キャビティ内の成形材料すなわち成形された製品を取り出す。その後、再び型閉して以上の成形サイクルを繰り返すが、全成形サイクルを通じて、バルブケーシングの材料通路内の成形材料は加熱手段の加熱により常時溶融状態に保たれる(例えば特許文献1)。   Here, a conventional valve gate mold apparatus will be described. The fixed mold and the movable mold, which are mold bodies, move relative to each other to open and close, and when the mold is closed, a product-shaped product cavity is formed between them. The fixed mold includes a fixed-side mold plate and a fixed-side receiving plate, and a gate that opens to the product cavity is formed on the fixed-side mold plate. A valve casing of the valve device is incorporated in an assembly hole formed through the fixed side receiving plate and the fixed side mold plate. The valve casing is substantially cylindrical, and a material passage communicating with the gate is formed at the center thereof. On the outer peripheral surface of the valve casing, there are provided a coil heater which is means for constantly keeping the thermoplastic resin which is a molding material in the material passage in a molten state, and a heater cover which covers the coil heater from the outside. A liner which is a material passage of a manifold is connected to the material passage of the valve casing, and a molding material is sent to the runner from an injection molding machine. A valve pin that opens and closes the gate of the gate bush by moving while being supported by a guide bush driven by a hydraulic cylinder or the like is provided in the valve casing. The valve pin is fitted to the gate of the gate bush to close it. At the time of molding, a plurality of molds are closed to form product cavities between the molds and the gate is opened, and the molding material is filled into the product cavities from the material passage through the gates. Next, the gate of the gate bush is closed by the valve pin, and after the molding material in the product cavity is solidified, the mold is opened and the molding material in the product cavity, that is, the molded product is taken out. Thereafter, the mold is closed again and the above molding cycle is repeated. Throughout the entire molding cycle, the molding material in the material passage of the valve casing is always kept in a molten state by the heating of the heating means (for example, Patent Document 1).

上記マニホールド内には材料通路たるランナーが設けられ、このランナーに前記バルブケーシング内の材料通路が接続され、射出成形機から送られてきた成形材料が、前記ランナー及びバルブケーシング内の材料通路を通ってキャビティ内に充填される。成形材料がランナーからバルブケーシング内に流入する際、成形材料は、バルブケーシング内でバルブピンの一側に当たり、迂回した後に再び合流する。そして、成形材料がバルブピンを一側から押すため、バルブピンを曲げる力が加わり、高速高圧充填では特に影響を受け易く、また、成形材料がバルブピンの一側に当たって迂回することにより、成形材料の流れに偏りが生じ、キャビティへの均一な充填の妨げとなる。また、バルブピンを曲げる力が加わると、ゲートとの嵌合において磨耗が発生し易くなる。   A runner as a material passage is provided in the manifold, and the material passage in the valve casing is connected to the runner, and the molding material sent from the injection molding machine passes through the material passage in the runner and the valve casing. To fill the cavity. When the molding material flows into the valve casing from the runner, the molding material hits one side of the valve pin in the valve casing and rejoins after detouring. And since the molding material pushes the valve pin from one side, the force to bend the valve pin is added, and it is particularly susceptible to high-speed and high-pressure filling, and the molding material hits one side of the valve pin and bypasses it, so that the flow of the molding material Bias occurs and prevents uniform filling of the cavity. Further, when a force for bending the valve pin is applied, wear tends to occur in the fitting with the gate.

このような問題を解消するものとして、互いに開閉し型閉時に製品キャビティを相互間に形成する複数の型体と、これら型体のうち製品キャビティへ開口するゲートを有する型体に設けられたバルブ装置とを備え、このバルブ装置は、前記型体に組み込まれると共に材料通路を内部に形成したバルブケーシングと、前記バルブケーシングの内部に設けられ前記ゲートを開閉するバルブピンとを有するバルブゲート式金型装置において、前記材料通路が螺旋状に形成されており、前記バルブケーシングに、前記バルブ体挿通孔を有する入れ子を形成し、この入れ子を装着する装着孔を、前記バルブケーシングに設け、前記入れ子と前記装着孔との間に前記材料通路を設け、前記入れ子の外周に形成した溝により前記材料通路を形成し、装着孔に挿入した入れ子をロウ付け又は溶剤を用いた拡散接合により固定したバルブゲート式金型装置(例えば特許文献2)が提案されている。

JP 2000-280297 A JP 2003-245948 A

上記特許文献2のバルブゲート式金型装置では、バルブケーシング内の材料通路が螺旋状に形成されているから、螺旋状の材料通路を通過した成形材料に螺旋方向の回転流が発生し、この回転流を伴う成形材料がゲートから充填されるため、成形材料を製品キャビティ内へ高速で円滑に充填することができ、また、成形材料がバルブピン挿通孔の周囲に形成された材料通路を流れるため、成形材料の流れがバルブピンから抵抗を受けない。   In the valve gate type mold apparatus of Patent Document 2, since the material passage in the valve casing is formed in a spiral shape, a rotational flow in the spiral direction is generated in the molding material passing through the spiral material passage. Since the molding material with a rotating flow is filled from the gate, the molding material can be filled smoothly into the product cavity at a high speed, and the molding material flows through the material passage formed around the valve pin insertion hole. The flow of molding material does not receive resistance from the valve pin.

しかし、上記特許文献2のようにロウ材を使ったロウ付けや、溶剤を用いた拡散溶接を用いると、ロウ材や溶剤成分が材料通路の内面に残り、これが樹脂の滞留を招き、樹脂が炭化したコンタミが発生し、特にレンズなどの透明品ではコンタミが混入すると成形不良となる。また、材料通路の内面が粗いと、多色成形などにおいて、色換えに時間を要する。   However, when brazing using a brazing material or diffusion welding using a solvent is used as in Patent Document 2, the brazing material and the solvent component remain on the inner surface of the material passage, which causes the resin to stay, Carbonized contamination is generated, and in particular in transparent products such as lenses, if contamination is mixed, molding will be defective. Also, if the inner surface of the material passage is rough, it takes time to change colors in multicolor molding or the like.

ところで、上述したように、材料通路内の成形材料は加熱手段の加熱により常時溶融状態に保たれ、その加熱手段として、バルブケーシングの外周面にヒータを設け、バルブケーシングの外周から材料通路を加熱するようにしており、成形を良好に行うには、材料通路内の成形材料を均一に加熱する必要がある。しかし、上記のロウ材を使ったロウ付けや、溶剤を用いた拡散溶接は、複雑な形状の部材同士の接合には不向きであり、部材の形状に制約を受け易いため、特許文献2では、樹脂通路を中心に対して略135度の範囲で螺旋状に形成している。したがって、外周にヒータを設けたバルブケーシングの断面の一方側に材料通路が位置するため、材料通路の樹脂を均一に加熱できないという問題がある。   By the way, as described above, the molding material in the material passage is always kept in a molten state by heating by the heating means. As the heating means, a heater is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the valve casing, and the material passage is heated from the outer periphery of the valve casing. In order to perform the molding well, it is necessary to uniformly heat the molding material in the material passage. However, brazing using the above brazing material and diffusion welding using a solvent are not suitable for joining members having complicated shapes, and are subject to restrictions on the shape of the members. The resin passage is formed in a spiral shape within a range of approximately 135 degrees with respect to the center. Therefore, since the material passage is located on one side of the cross section of the valve casing provided with the heater on the outer periphery, there is a problem that the resin in the material passage cannot be heated uniformly.

本発明は、このような問題点を解決しようとするもので、材料通路の内面を平滑にすることができ、成形材料を製品キャビティに円滑に充填することができるバルブゲート式金型装置とその製造方法を提供することを目的とし、また、成形材料を均一に加熱することができるバルブゲート式金型装置とその製造方法を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention is intended to solve such problems, and a valve gate mold apparatus capable of smoothing the inner surface of a material passage and smoothly filling a product cavity with a molding material and its It aims at providing a manufacturing method, and also aims at providing the valve gate type metal mold | die apparatus which can heat a molding material uniformly, and its manufacturing method.

The side surface 32 has an inlet 33, and the runner 7 is connected to the inlet 33. An inlet oblique portion 34 of the material passage 31 is formed in a straight line from the inlet portion 33 toward the central gate side of the valve casing 12, and the insertion hole 21 extends from the tip of the inlet oblique portion 34 toward the gate side.

Further, the valve body insertion hole 21 is formed continuously from the center of the insert 41 and the distal end portion 15 side of the valve casing 12. As shown in FIG. 6 and the like, the insert 41 has a cylindrical outer peripheral surface 43. The insert 41 is one of a plurality of valve casing components. Further, in the valve casing 12, the periphery of the mounting hole 42 has a substantially cylindrical shape.

また、バルブシング12の入れ子41を除いた部分の外周体51は、軸方向を中心に2分割された同一形状の分割外周体52,52からなり、これら分割外周体52,52の接合面53,53を接合して外周体51が形成される。尚、分割外周体52,52は同一形状であるが、前記螺旋部35を形成する後述する溝の配置は異なる。   Further, the outer peripheral body 51 of the valve sing 12 excluding the insert 41 is composed of divided outer peripheral bodies 52 and 52 having the same shape divided into two around the axial direction, and a joint surface 53 of these divided outer peripheral bodies 52 and 52. , 53 are joined together to form the outer peripheral body 51. Although the divided outer peripheral bodies 52 and 52 have the same shape, the arrangement of grooves to be described later forming the spiral portion 35 is different.

前記入口斜設部34及び出口斜設部36は、前記接合面53,53に溝を形成することにより、前記分割外周体52,52の間に設けられている。前記螺旋部35は前記入れ子41と分割外周体52,52との間に設けられており、前記入れ子41の外周面43に、前記螺旋部35を形成する溝435を形成し、前記分割外周体52,52の内周面54,54に、前記螺旋部35を形成する溝535を形成し、両溝435,535が合わされて螺旋部35が形成される。前記接合面53,53の溝及び溝435,535は円弧状溝に形成されており、材料通路31の断面はほぼ円形となる。尚、分割外周体52,52の内周面54,54は前記装着孔42の内面である。また、前記外周面43と内周面54は、入れ子41と分割外周体52の接合面である。   The entrance oblique portion 34 and the exit oblique portion 36 are provided between the divided outer peripheral bodies 52 and 52 by forming grooves in the joint surfaces 53 and 53. The spiral portion 35 is provided between the insert 41 and the divided outer peripheral bodies 52, 52. A groove 435 for forming the spiral portion 35 is formed on the outer peripheral surface 43 of the insert 41, and the divided outer peripheral body is formed. A groove 535 for forming the spiral portion 35 is formed on the inner peripheral surfaces 54, 54 of the 52, 52, and both the grooves 435, 535 are combined to form the spiral portion 35. The grooves of the joint surfaces 53 and 53 and the grooves 435 and 535 are formed as arc-shaped grooves, and the material passage 31 has a substantially circular cross section.

The outer peripheral surface 43 and the inner peripheral surface 54 are joint surfaces of the insert 41 and the divided outer peripheral body 52.

次に、前記バルブゲート式金型装置の製造方法につき、バルブケーシング12の製法を中心に説明すると、バルブケーシング構成部材である入れ子41及び分割外周体52,52を形成する。そして、接合面たる外周面43と内周面54,54及び接合面53,53を平坦面に加工し、好ましくは鏡面に加工する。接合面たる外周面43と内周面54,54及び接合面53,53は、粗面(表面荒さがJIS規格で▽印程度)でもよいが、鏡面に加工する方が部材の接合強度が高くかつ、接合による変形を小さくすることができるので好ましく、接合面における鏡面についての数値的範囲は必ずしも明確でないが、ここではRa0.3以下の数値の平滑度(数値が小さいなれば平滑度は高くなる)を有する表面加工状態を言う。また、接合前に、材料通路31を構成する接合面53,53の溝及び溝435,535を研磨し、好ましくは樹脂通路31の内面の表面粗さを2S(2μmRmax)とする。   Next, the manufacturing method of the valve gate mold apparatus will be described focusing on the manufacturing method of the valve casing 12. The insert 41 and the divided outer peripheral bodies 52, 52 which are valve casing constituent members are formed. Then, the outer peripheral surface 43, the inner peripheral surfaces 54 and 54, and the joint surfaces 53 and 53 as the joint surfaces are processed into flat surfaces, preferably mirror surfaces. The outer peripheral surface 43, the inner peripheral surfaces 54 and 54, and the joint surfaces 53 and 53, which are the joint surfaces, may be rough surfaces (surface roughness is about ▽ in JIS standard), but the joint strength of the member is higher when processed into a mirror surface In addition, it is preferable because deformation due to joining can be reduced, and the numerical range of the mirror surface on the joining surface is not necessarily clear, but here the smoothness of numerical values of Ra 0.3 or less (the smaller the numerical value, the higher the smoothness) The surface processed state having Further, before joining, the grooves of the joining surfaces 53 and 53 and the grooves 435 and 535 constituting the material passage 31 are polished, and the surface roughness of the inner surface of the resin passage 31 is preferably 2S (2 μm Rmax).

このように、接合前に材料通路31となる接合面53,53の溝及び溝435,535を研磨するため、螺旋部35などの内面を容易に研磨することができる。   As described above, since the grooves of the bonding surfaces 53 and 53 and the grooves 435 and 535 that become the material passage 31 are polished before bonding, the inner surface of the spiral portion 35 and the like can be easily polished.

研磨が終了した後、まず、分割外周体52,52を一体化して外周体51を形成する。接合面53,53同士を合わせ、公知の位置決め手段等を用いて分割外周体52,52を上下に重ね合わせ、この分割外周体52,52を上下に重ね合わせた積層体51Sを、通電接合装置に装着して、接合面53,53を接合する。   After the polishing is completed, first, the outer peripheral body 51 is formed by integrating the divided outer peripheral bodies 52 and 52. The joining surfaces 53 and 53 are aligned with each other, and the divided outer peripheral bodies 52 and 52 are vertically overlapped using a known positioning means or the like. And the joining surfaces 53 and 53 are joined.

図9には本例の通電接合装置の全体構成を示してある。この図に示すように、本例の通電接合装置Tは、通電接合機70と熱処理機80を備えている。通電接合機70は、基台72の上に絶縁部材を介して公知の方法で基台72と電気的に絶縁して固定された下側通電電極73と、基台72の上方に配置され当該基台72に公知の方法で支持された流体圧シリンダ74と、流体圧シリンダ74のピストンロッド75の先端に絶縁部材を介して公知の方法でピストンロッド75と電気的に絶縁して固定された上側通電電極76とを備えている。   FIG. 9 shows the overall configuration of the energization joining apparatus of this example. As shown in the figure, the energization joining apparatus T of this example includes an energization joining machine 70 and a heat treatment machine 80. The energization bonding machine 70 is disposed above the base 72 and a lower energizing electrode 73 that is electrically insulated from the base 72 and fixed on the base 72 by a known method via an insulating member. A fluid pressure cylinder 74 supported on the base 72 by a known method, and fixed to the tip of the piston rod 75 of the fluid pressure cylinder 74 by an insulation member and electrically insulated from the piston rod 75 by a known method. And an upper energizing electrode 76.

流体圧シリンダ74は被接合材を押圧する加圧装置として機能する。加圧装置としては流体圧シリンダの代わりに電動モータ、ねじ機構などを用いて上側通電電極76を昇降させるようにしてもよい。上側および下側の通電電極73,76は、電源装置77に電気的に接続されており、電源装置77は、直流のパルス電流を供給できるようになっている。本例の電源装置77の供給電力は、電圧が100V以下で、電流が2000から5000Aの範囲内の大電流電力である。なお、本例では上側通電電極76を移動可能としてあるが、逆に下側通電電極73を移動可能とすることもでき、また、双方を移動可能にすることも可能である。   The fluid pressure cylinder 74 functions as a pressurizing device that presses the material to be joined. As the pressurizing device, the upper energizing electrode 76 may be moved up and down using an electric motor, a screw mechanism or the like instead of the fluid pressure cylinder. The upper and lower energization electrodes 73 and 76 are electrically connected to a power supply device 77, and the power supply device 77 can supply a DC pulse current. The power supply of the power supply device 77 of this example is a large current power having a voltage of 100 V or less and a current in the range of 2000 to 5000A. In this example, the upper energizing electrode 76 can be moved, but conversely, the lower energizing electrode 73 can be moved, or both can be moved.

次に、熱処理機80は公知の構造の真空熱処理炉を備えた構成となっている。なお、通電接合機70と熱処理機80を一体化した装置構成とすることもでき、また、これらを移動可能な構造とすることもできる。勿論、これらを別個に配置してもよい。   Next, the heat treatment machine 80 includes a vacuum heat treatment furnace having a known structure. It should be noted that the current bonding machine 70 and the heat treatment machine 80 can be integrated into a device configuration, or these can be moved. Of course, these may be arranged separately.

次に、この構造の通電接合装置Tを用いて、積層体51Sを構成している分割外周体52,52を相互に接合する手順を説明する。   Next, a procedure for joining the divided outer peripheral bodies 52 and 52 constituting the laminated body 51S to each other using the energization joining apparatus T having this structure will be described.

まず、通電電極73,76の間に積層体51Sを挟み、流体圧シリンダ74を駆動して、ピストンロッド75により上側通電電極76を降下させる。この結果、積層体51Sは、通電電極73,76の間に挟まれて、所定の押圧力で押し付けられた状態になる。分割外周体52,52の接合面53,53との間に所定の押圧力が作用した状態になる。この押圧力は部材の材質によっても異なるが50メガパスカル以下でよい。   First, the laminate 51S is sandwiched between the energizing electrodes 73 and 76, the fluid pressure cylinder 74 is driven, and the upper energizing electrode 76 is lowered by the piston rod 75. As a result, the laminated body 51S is sandwiched between the energizing electrodes 73 and 76 and is pressed with a predetermined pressing force. A predetermined pressing force is applied between the joint surfaces 53 and 53 of the divided outer circumferential bodies 52 and 52. Although this pressing force varies depending on the material of the member, it may be 50 megapascals or less.

この結果、各接合面53,53の間が互いに接合された状態になる。この接合の正確な原理は必ずしも明確ではないが、接合面間での放電プラズマの発生、ジュール熱による熱拡散効果、電場による電解拡散効果などにより接合されるものと考えられる。   As a result, the joint surfaces 53 and 53 are joined to each other. Although the exact principle of this joining is not necessarily clear, it is thought that joining is performed by the generation of discharge plasma between joining surfaces, the thermal diffusion effect by Joule heat, the electrolytic diffusion effect by an electric field, and the like.

ここで、積層体51Sに所定の値の直流電流のみを流しても、また、直流電流およびパルス電流の双方を同時に流しても、接合面53,53間が互いに接合された状態を形成できることが確認された。   Here, even when only a direct current of a predetermined value is allowed to flow through the laminated body 51S, or when both a direct current and a pulse current are simultaneously applied, it is possible to form a state where the joint surfaces 53 and 53 are joined together. confirmed.

このようにして各接合面53,53が接合された状態は、接合強度の点からはまだ完全なものではない。そこで、この接合状態を仮接合状態と呼び、仮接合状態にある積層体51Sを仮接合体と呼ぶ。   The state in which the joint surfaces 53 and 53 are joined in this way is not yet complete from the viewpoint of joining strength. Therefore, this bonded state is referred to as a temporary bonded state, and the laminate 51S in the temporary bonded state is referred to as a temporary bonded body.

次に、図10に示すように、仮接合状態にある積層体51Sの装着孔42に入れ子41を挿入し、積層体51Sを下、入れ子41を上にした積層体12Sを、同図に示すように、通電接合装置に装着して、接合面である内周面54と外周面43を接合する。この接合は、図9と同じ装置を用いて行われ、上側の通電電極76を入れ子41に接続し、下側の通電電極73を積層体51Sに電気的に接続して行われ、入れ子41と積層体51Sとを上下加圧通電する際に、通電された入れ子41と積層体51Sが加熱される。加熱された入れ子41と積層体51Sは、熱膨張するので、円柱状をなす積層体51Sの内周面54と入れ子41の内周面43のクリアランスを調整することにより、これらの間の接合面に所定の押圧力が作用した状態を形成できる。このため、入れ子41と積層体51Sにおいて、上下の加圧方向とは異なる方向の入れ子41の外周面43と積層体51Sの内周面54を接合することができる。このクリアランスは一般に鉄系の場合、2〜50μmが良い。尚、加圧通電の際、別個の加圧手段により積層体51Sの分割外周体52,52の仮接合された接合面53,53との間に所定の押圧力を加えるようにしてもよい。このようにして、入れ子41と分割外周体52,52を接合した状態を仮接合状態と呼び、仮接合状態にある積層体12Sを仮接合体と呼ぶ。   Next, as shown in FIG. 10, a stack 12S is shown in which the insert 41 is inserted into the mounting hole 42 of the stack 51S in the temporarily bonded state, the stack 51S is down, and the insert 41 is up. As described above, the inner peripheral surface 54 and the outer peripheral surface 43 which are the joint surfaces are joined to each other by being attached to the energization joining device. This joining is performed using the same apparatus as in FIG. 9, and the upper energizing electrode 76 is connected to the insert 41 and the lower energizing electrode 73 is electrically connected to the stacked body 51S. When energizing the laminated body 51S with up and down pressure, the energized nest 41 and the laminated body 51S are heated. Since the heated insert 41 and the laminate 51S are thermally expanded, the clearance between the inner peripheral surface 54 of the cylindrical laminate 51S and the inner peripheral surface 43 of the insert 41 can be adjusted by adjusting the clearance between them. Thus, a state in which a predetermined pressing force is applied can be formed. For this reason, in the insert 41 and the laminate 51S, the outer peripheral surface 43 of the insert 41 and the inner peripheral surface 54 of the laminate 51S in a direction different from the upper and lower pressurizing directions can be joined. This clearance is generally 2 to 50 μm in the case of iron. It should be noted that a predetermined pressing force may be applied between the split outer peripheral bodies 52, 52 of the laminated body 51S and the temporarily joined joint surfaces 53, 53 by a separate pressurizing means during the energization with pressure. In this way, the state where the insert 41 and the divided outer peripheral bodies 52, 52 are joined is referred to as a temporary joined state, and the laminated body 12S in the temporarily joined state is referred to as a temporarily joined body.

前記積層体12Sの仮接合体を、熱処理機80の熱処理炉内において不活性雰囲気中で熱処理する。熱処理温度および時間は部材の材質および大きさによって異なるが、熱処理温度は、接合すべき部材の最も低い融点の55%〜85%の温度範囲とすることが望ましい。相互拡散熱処理を行うことにより、仮接合状態の接合面53,53間及び外周面43と内周面54間の接合が完全なものになって完全接合体になる。すなわち、接合面53,53間及び外周面43と内周面54間の接合強度が部材の材質強度に匹敵する値になったバルブケーシング12が得られる。   The temporary joined body of the laminate 12S is heat-treated in an inert atmosphere in a heat treatment furnace of a heat treatment machine 80. The heat treatment temperature and time vary depending on the material and size of the member, but the heat treatment temperature is desirably in the temperature range of 55% to 85% of the lowest melting point of the members to be joined. By performing the interdiffusion heat treatment, the bonding between the bonding surfaces 53 and 53 in the temporarily bonded state and between the outer peripheral surface 43 and the inner peripheral surface 54 becomes perfect, and a complete bonded body is obtained. That is, the valve casing 12 in which the joint strength between the joint surfaces 53 and 53 and between the outer peripheral surface 43 and the inner peripheral surface 54 is equal to the material strength of the member is obtained.

本発明で用いる接合方法及び装置で使用する電流は、直流電流、パルス電流、及び直流電流とパルス電流との組み合わせ電流であるが、このうちパルス電流及び直流電流とパルス電流の組み合わせ電流を使用する場合にはパルス電流が必ず流されるのでパルス通電接合方法及び装置と呼ぶこともできる。   The current used in the bonding method and apparatus used in the present invention is a direct current, a pulse current, and a combination current of a direct current and a pulse current. Among these, a pulse current and a combination current of a direct current and a pulse current are used. In some cases, a pulse current always flows, so it can be called a pulse energization joining method and apparatus.

また、この接合方法では、次の様な効果を奏する。従来の放電プラズマ焼結法のようにグラファイト製の型を用いる必要がない。溶接補助材を全く使用せずに接合が可能である。接合面の全面を、かつ全面に渡って均一に接合できる。接合面を平面にするだけで容易に接合できる。接合面の平面精度を上げることによって接合強度を高くできる。接合強度を接合される金属部材の材質の強度と同一にできる。接合部の変形を微小にして接合できる。接合部周辺における溶接補助材、蝋の削除のような後加工が不要である。微細部分の接合も簡単に行うことができる。被接合部品を部品として完成してから接合できるので複雑な形状のものを接合により組立可能である。被接合部材の性質を損なうことなく接合することが可能である。異なる材質の金属部材を容易に接合可能である。接合部以外の部分温度を適正に制御して接合可能である。異なる形状の複数の部品を同時に接合可能である。   Moreover, this joining method has the following effects. There is no need to use a graphite mold unlike the conventional spark plasma sintering method. Joining is possible without using any welding aids. The entire joining surface can be joined uniformly over the entire surface. It can be easily joined only by making the joining surface flat. The joint strength can be increased by increasing the planar accuracy of the joint surface. The joint strength can be made the same as the strength of the material of the metal member to be joined. Bonding can be performed with a small deformation of the bonding portion. There is no need for post-processing such as removal of welding aids and wax around the joint. It is possible to easily join the fine portions. Since the parts to be joined can be joined after being completed as parts, those having complicated shapes can be assembled by joining. It is possible to join without impairing the properties of the members to be joined. Metal members of different materials can be easily joined. Bonding is possible by appropriately controlling the temperature of the portion other than the bonding portion. A plurality of parts having different shapes can be joined simultaneously.

上述した熱処理を経て、図1に示すバルブケーシング12が得られる。このバルブケーシング12は、分割外周体52,52と入れ子41を接合することにより、接合面53,53の間に材料通路31の斜設部34,36が形成され、装着孔42と外周面43との間に材料通路31の螺旋部35が形成されている。従って、螺旋部35を備えた材料通路31を簡単に製造できる。すなわち、分割外周体の接合面たる内周面54と入れ子41の接合面たる外周面43に、研削などにより材料通路31を構成する溝を形成すればよいので、それを螺旋状に形成することも、また、その内面に鏡面仕上げを施すことも容易である。しかも、溶接補助材をまったく使用せずに接合できるから、接合後、材料通路31に溶接補助材が出ることがなく、材料通路31の内面を平滑に保つことができる。   Through the heat treatment described above, the valve casing 12 shown in FIG. 1 is obtained. In this valve casing 12, the divided outer peripheral bodies 52, 52 and the insert 41 are joined to form the oblique portions 34, 36 of the material passage 31 between the joint faces 53, 53, and the mounting hole 42 and the outer peripheral face 43. The spiral portion 35 of the material passage 31 is formed between the two. Therefore, the material passage 31 including the spiral portion 35 can be easily manufactured. That is, since the groove constituting the material passage 31 may be formed by grinding or the like on the inner peripheral surface 54 which is the joint surface of the divided outer peripheral body and the outer peripheral surface 43 which is the joint surface of the insert 41, it is formed in a spiral shape. It is also easy to give a mirror finish to the inner surface. In addition, since joining can be performed without using any welding auxiliary material, the welding auxiliary material does not appear in the material passage 31 after joining, and the inner surface of the material passage 31 can be kept smooth.

また、本例の方法によれば、分割外周体52,52と入れ子41の接合強度も、その母材強度程度の強さにできるので、分割外周体52,52と入れ子41とからバルブケーシング12を構成しても、何ら不具合が発生しない。   Further, according to the method of the present example, the joint strength between the divided outer peripheral bodies 52 and 52 and the insert 41 can be made as strong as the strength of the base material. Even if configured, no problems occur.

さらに、材料通路31の内面の鏡面加工も、分割外周体52,52と入れ子41を接合する前に行えばよいので、極めて簡単にできる。   Further, the mirror finishing of the inner surface of the material passage 31 can be performed very simply because it is performed before the divided outer peripheral bodies 52, 52 and the insert 41 are joined.

そして、成形に際しては、まず固定型1と可動型2とを型閉して、これら固定型1および可動型2間に製品キャビティ3を形成した後、バルブピン22を可動型2から離れる方向へ移動させてゲート8を開放する。そして、射出成形機から固定型1内に熱可塑性の成形材料である溶融した熱可塑性樹脂を射出する。この樹脂は、マニホールド6のランナー7などを通り、さらにバルブケーシング12内の材料通路31を通ってゲート8から製品キャビティ3内に流入する。このようにして製品キャビティ3内に樹脂が充填された後、保圧を経て、バルブピン22が可動型2の方へ移動し、ゲート8に嵌合してこのゲート8を閉じる。そして、製品キャビティ3内の樹脂が冷却して固化した後、固定型1と可動型2とを型開して、製品キャビティ3内の樹脂すなわち成形された製品を取り出す。その後、再び型閉して以上の成形サイクルを繰り返す。   When molding, first, the fixed mold 1 and the movable mold 2 are closed, a product cavity 3 is formed between the fixed mold 1 and the movable mold 2, and then the valve pin 22 is moved away from the movable mold 2. The gate 8 is opened. Then, a molten thermoplastic resin, which is a thermoplastic molding material, is injected into the fixed mold 1 from the injection molding machine. The resin flows through the runner 7 of the manifold 6 and the like, and further flows into the product cavity 3 from the gate 8 through the material passage 31 in the valve casing 12. After the resin is filled in the product cavity 3 in this way, after holding pressure, the valve pin 22 moves toward the movable mold 2 and is fitted to the gate 8 to close the gate 8. Then, after the resin in the product cavity 3 is cooled and solidified, the fixed mold 1 and the movable mold 2 are opened, and the resin in the product cavity 3, that is, the molded product is taken out. Thereafter, the mold is closed again and the above molding cycle is repeated.

このように本実施例では、請求項1に対応して、互いに開閉し型閉時に製品キャビティ3を相互間に形成する複数の型体たる固定型1及び可動型2と、これら固定型1及び可動型2のうち製品キャビティ3へ開口するゲート8を有する型体たる固定型1に設けられたバルブ装置11とを備え、このバルブ装置11は、固定型1に組み込まれると共に材料通路31を内部に形成したバルブケーシング12と、バルブケーシング12の内部に設けられゲート8を開閉するバルブ体たるバルブピン22とを有し、材料通路31が螺旋状に形成されているバルブゲート式金型装置において、接合面53,53同士及び接合面たる外周面43と内周面54同士を当接させた複数のバルブケーシング構成部材たる入れ子41及び分割外周体52,52に、直流電流及び/又はパルス電流を流して、前記外周面43と内周面54及び接合面53,53を仮接合し、仮接合された状態の入れ子41及び分割外周体52,52を所定の雰囲気温度で熱処理して入れ子41及び分割外周体52,52間に材料通路31の螺旋部35を形成したから、溶接補助材をまったく使用せずに入れ子41及び分割外周体52,52を強固に接合でき、しかも、接合面53,53及び外周面43と内周面54の全面を均一に接合することができる。このように溶接補助材を使用しないから、材料通路31に溶接補助材が出ることがなく、接合後処理が難しい材料通路31内面を平滑に保つことができる。   Thus, in the present embodiment, corresponding to claim 1, a plurality of fixed molds 1 and movable molds 2 that are opened and closed with each other and form a product cavity 3 between the molds when the mold is closed, And a valve device 11 provided in a fixed mold 1 as a mold body having a gate 8 that opens to the product cavity 3 of the movable mold 2.

The entire surface 43 and the inner peripheral surface 54 can be joined uniformly. Since no welding auxiliary material is used in this way, no welding auxiliary material appears in the material passage 31, and the inner surface of the material passage 31, which is difficult to perform post-joining processing, can be kept smooth.

また、成形時には、固定型1と可動型2を型閉してこれら固定型1と可動型2間に製品キャビティ3を形成するとともにゲート8を開き、製品キャビティ3内に成形材料を充填する。この際、成形材料は、バルブケーシング12内の材料通路31を通ってゲート8から製品キャビティ3内に流入する。そして、バルブケーシング12内の材料通路31が螺旋状に形成されているため、螺旋状の材料通路31たる螺旋部35を通過した成形材料に螺旋方向の回転流が発生し、この回転流を伴う成形材料がゲート8から充填されるため、成形材料を製品キャビティ3内へ円滑に充填することができる。   At the time of molding, the fixed mold 1 and the movable mold 2 are closed to form a product cavity 3 between the fixed mold 1 and the movable mold 2 and the gate 8 is opened, and the product cavity 3 is filled with a molding material. At this time, the molding material flows from the gate 8 into the product cavity 3 through the material passage 31 in the valve casing 12. Further, since the material passage 31 in the valve casing 12 is formed in a spiral shape, a rotational flow in the spiral direction is generated in the molding material that has passed through the spiral portion 35 that is the spiral material passage 31, and this rotational flow is accompanied. Since the molding material is filled from the gate 8, the molding material can be smoothly filled into the product cavity 3.
