Description

  This invention is a synthetic resin composite molded product in which a synthetic resin and a nonwoven fabric are laminated and integrated, for example, pipe joints for connecting pipes that protect power cables and communication cables embedded in the ground, The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a packaging container or the like.

  In this specification, the term “synthetic resin” is used to include synthetic rubber and natural rubber.

  The above-mentioned pipe joint, which is an example of a synthetic resin composite molded product, requires a certain waterproof property and water-stopping property between the pipe body and the pipe joint because of being embedded in the ground. In order to easily satisfy such waterproofness / waterproofness, an invention “pipe joint with watertight sealing sheet” of the following Patent Document 1 has been proposed.

  In this pipe joint, a water-tight sealing fiber sheet is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the short pipe part at both ends, and a part of the water-tight sealing fiber sheet and the short pipe part are A part of the short tube forming material to be molded is melted and integrated. The fiber sheet for watertight sealing is made of a non-woven fabric, and holds water-swellable resin material powder between the fiber surface and the fibers.

  In such a pipe joint, the connection work is completed simply by inserting and connecting the pipe body with the spiral wave to the short pipe portions at both ends thereof while rotating. In other words, the resin material of the watertight sealing fiber sheet absorbs the moisture in the ground without separately wrapping the adhesive tape to obtain waterproofness and waterstop, so that the space between the pipe body and the pipe joint is absorbed. Is fully filled and a watertight sealed state is developed and maintained, so that watertightness can be easily obtained.

  By the way, manufacture of this pipe joint is performed as follows. A fiber sheet for watertight sealing in the form of a rectangular sheet is wound into a cylindrical shape and temporarily attached around the core metal of the molding die. Next, using a half mold that forms a cylindrical cavity for molding the short pipe part, a molding resin is injected into the cavity, and at the same time as forming the short pipe part, on the inner peripheral surface of the short pipe part It is fusion-bonded to the fiber. That is, as shown in FIG. 22, the water-sealable fiber sheet 102 is wound around the core metal 101, and then the half-divided mold 103 is pressed as shown by the phantom line to form the inside of the formed cavity. The molding resin is injected.

  However, since the injection of the molding resin is performed at a stretch at a high pressure, and the short pipe portion of the pipe joint has an uneven shape with a spiral wave, both the water-tight sealing fiber sheet 102 and the molding resin are It is difficult to achieve a uniform thickness throughout. That is, when the half mold 103 is moved to the core metal 101 side to form a cavity (closed mold), the protruding portion 103a of the half mold 103 hits the fiber sheet 102 for watertight sealing, Tension is applied to the fiber sheet 102 for watertight sealing. When the cavity is formed by the closed mold, the thickness of the watertight sealing fiber sheet 102 is likely to be reduced particularly at a portion corresponding to the protruding portion 103 a of the cored bar 101. Since the molding resin is injected in this state, a thin portion of the watertight sealing fiber sheet 102 is easily formed, and in some cases, the molding resin may come out through the watertight sealing fiber sheet 102. . If a portion of the fiber sheet 102 for watertight sealing is thin, the expansibility of that portion is low, and the desired watertightness may not be obtained.

  In addition, since the half mold 103 is divided in half, that is, divided into two, as shown in FIG. 23, when the mold is closed, the watertight sealing is performed at the beginning of the half mold 103. The distance L between the position in contact with the fiber sheet 102 and the position at the time of closing is long. For this reason, the fiber sheet 102 for watertight sealing is compressed at the parting line position of the half-divided mold 103, and a part having a shape like a burr in resin molding is formed. If such a portion is formed, the resin portion becomes conversely thinned at this portion, which causes a problem in terms of protection of cables and the like.

  In order to avoid the inconveniences as described above, the injection pressure, temperature, gate position, and the like are devised, but the thickness of each layer tends to be uneven, and the ratio of defective products is not low.

  In addition, a method of forming a parison (cylindrical polymer melt) like blow molding instead of injection molding is also proposed for the resin portion that wraps the nonwoven fabric (see Patent Document 2). The resin portion is molded only by winding the nonwoven fabric around the core as described above.

No. 7-52467 JP 2003-251686 A

  Then, this invention makes it the main subject to provide the manufacturing method of a synthetic resin composite molded product which can form a nonwoven fabric layer and a synthetic resin layer in a uniform thickness, respectively.

  Means therefor is a method for producing a synthetic resin composite molded article having a nonwoven fabric layer comprising a nonwoven fabric and a synthetic resin layer comprising a synthetic resin laminated on the nonwoven fabric layer, and having irregularities in the thickness direction thereof. A non-woven fabric molding step for forming a sheet-like non-woven fabric into a concavo-convex shape corresponding to the concavo-convex shape of the non-woven fabric layer in the molded product, and a synthetic resin layer in the molded product on the non-woven fabric molded in the non-woven fabric molding step. And a synthetic resin molding step of molding a synthetic resin having a shape corresponding to the concavo-convex shape.

  That is, a synthetic resin layer having a shape corresponding to the uneven shape of the synthetic resin layer of the molded product is formed on the nonwoven fabric formed into an uneven shape corresponding to the uneven shape of the nonwoven fabric layer of the molded product. The resin layers are each formed with a uniform thickness without unevenness.

  The nonwoven fabric molding step can be performed by various molding methods, for example, vacuum molding, etc., but the fixed mold having irregularities corresponding to the irregularities on one side of the nonwoven fabric layer and the irregularities on the other side of the nonwoven fabric layer. The nonwoven fabric may be heated and compressed with the first movable mold having the corresponding irregularities. Molding can be done easily and reliably.

  In the present invention, the “fixed type” is an expression in comparison with a paired type, and does not mean that it is limited to a non-moving type.

  Moreover, although the said synthetic resin molding process can also be performed after forming a parison, it is good to carry out by injection molding. The molding operation is simple and the molding can be performed in a short time. In addition, since the nonwoven fabric is molded prior to the molding of the synthetic resin, even if the synthetic resin is injected, the nonwoven fabric is not forcibly pushed, the synthetic resin flows smoothly, and the synthetic resin layer to be formed The entire cavity formed in a shape corresponding to the shape can be spread and formed into a desired shape. Moreover, since the structure | tissue of a nonwoven fabric hardens to some extent by shaping | molding, it is difficult to break a nonwoven fabric, and it can suppress that a synthetic resin comes out inside through a nonwoven fabric even if it is injection-molded.

  Furthermore, the synthetic resin molding step may be performed by transferring the nonwoven fabric molded in the nonwoven fabric molding step while being integrated with the fixed mold. There is no need to remove the molded nonwoven fabric from the fixed mold and mount it again on another mold, so that the work can be performed easily and the production efficiency can be increased.

  The fixed mold is formed in a substantially circular or semicircular cross section, and the first movable mold located on the outer peripheral side of the fixed mold is divided into three or more when the fixed mold has a substantially circular cross section. When the fixed mold has a substantially semicircular cross section, if it is divided into two or more in the circumferential direction, it is distorted as compared with the case of using a half mold when forming into an uneven shape corresponding to the unevenness of the nonwoven fabric layer. The burr-like portion that can be formed at the parting line position of the nonwoven fabric can be reduced, and the thickness can be uniform.

  Another means is a synthetic resin composite molded article produced by the method for producing a synthetic resin composite molded article.

  Another means is a pipe joint having a non-woven fabric layer made of non-woven fabric on the inner peripheral side, a synthetic resin layer made of synthetic resin laminated on the non-woven fabric layer on the outer peripheral side, and unevenness in the thickness direction. A non-woven fabric is formed with a fixed mold having irregularities corresponding to the irregularities on the inner surface of the nonwoven fabric layer and a first movable mold having irregularities corresponding to the irregularities on the outer surface of the nonwoven fabric layer. A non-woven fabric molding step, and a synthetic resin formed on the outer surface of the non-woven fabric molded in the non-woven fabric molding step with the fixed mold and a second movable mold having irregularities corresponding to the irregularities on the outer surface of the synthetic resin layer. It is the manufacturing method of the pipe joint which has the synthetic resin shaping | molding process to shape | mold.

That is, with the fixed mold and the first movable mold, the fixed mold and the second movable mold are used to form the molded product on the outer surface of the nonwoven fabric formed into a concavo-convex shape corresponding to the concavo-convex shape of the nonwoven fabric layer of the molded product. An uneven synthetic resin layer corresponding to the synthetic resin layer is formed. That is, each layer is formed with a uniform thickness without unevenness.
Another means is a pipe joint manufactured by the above-described pipe joint manufacturing method.

  As described above, according to the present invention, a synthetic resin composite molded article composed of a nonwoven fabric layer and a synthetic resin layer and having irregularities in the thickness direction is a shape corresponding to the irregular shape of the nonwoven fabric layer of the molded article. After forming the synthetic resin, the synthetic resin is molded on the nonwoven fabric in a shape corresponding to the concave and convex shape of the synthetic resin layer of the molded product, so that the nonwoven fabric layer and the synthetic resin layer have a uniform thickness as desired respectively. It is formed. For this reason, it is possible to avoid the disadvantage that the nonwoven fabric layer or the synthetic resin layer is partially thickened or thinned and does not perform a desired function.

  Moreover, since a synthetic resin layer is formed after shape | molding a nonwoven fabric, each can be reliably formed in a desired shape. For this reason, the rate at which defective products are generated can be greatly reduced.

An embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In this embodiment, a pipe joint 11 will be described as an example of a synthetic resin composite molded product.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pipe joint 11, and the pipe joint 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a continuous spiral ridge 12. And as shown also in FIG. 2, the nonwoven fabric 13 is integrated in the whole inner peripheral surface. That is, it has a two-layer structure including a nonwoven fabric layer 11a and a synthetic resin layer 11b laminated and integrated with the nonwoven fabric layer 11a.

  The said nonwoven fabric has the softness | flexibility which can be expanded-contracted, and contains the water absorptive polymer expanded by absorbing a water | moisture content. Examples of the water-absorbing polymer include granular or powdery materials, fibrous materials (for example, “BEL OASIS” registered trademark manufactured by Kanebo Synthetic Co., Ltd., “Lanseal” registered trademark manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.), and liquid (for example, , "Equas" registered trademark manufactured by Sun Add Co., Ltd.) is used, and the granular or powdery material is attached to the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric or held between the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric. Moreover, a fibrous thing is mixed with the fiber which comprises a nonwoven fabric with a suitable binder. The liquid material is impregnated into the nonwoven fabric 13 by coating or dipping after forming the pipe joint 11.

  Such a pipe joint 11 is used in order to connect the pipe body 14 which has the continuous spiral uneven | corrugated strip 14a similarly (refer FIG. 3). That is, when the pipe body 14 is screwed and inserted into both ends of the pipe joint 11, and the water-absorbing polymer in the nonwoven fabric 13 absorbs moisture, the nonwoven fabric 13 portion is connected to the pipe joint 11. It swells up with the pipe body 15, and the waterproofness and water-stopping property between both are obtained.

  The tube body 15 is buried in the ground in a state where an electric wire or cable is inserted, and protects the electric wire or cable. Therefore, after connecting as described above, the tube body 15 is simply buried in the ground. As shown in FIG. 3, the non-woven fabric 13 part automatically expands, and as described above, waterproofness / waterproofness can be obtained.

Below, the manufacturing method of the above pipe joints 11 is demonstrated.
The manufacture of the pipe joint 11 includes a nonwoven fabric molding process and a synthetic resin molding process.

  First, in the nonwoven fabric forming step, the sheet-shaped nonwoven fabric 13 is formed into an uneven shape corresponding to the uneven shape of the nonwoven fabric layer 11a of the pipe joint 11. In addition, this nonwoven fabric 13 is a thing containing only the granular or powdery water-absorbing polymer or the fibrous water-absorbing polymer as described above, or only the nonwoven fabric fiber to be impregnated later.

  4 and 5 show the core mold 21 and the first movable mold 22 used in the nonwoven fabric forming process.

  The core mold 21 has a substantially cylindrical shape having irregularities (concave portions 23 and convex portions 24) corresponding to the irregularities on the inner surface of the nonwoven fabric layer 11 a, and the main body portion 25 is provided below the main body portion 25 having the irregularities. Also forms a step 26 with a small diameter.

  The first movable mold 22 has irregularities (concave portions 27 and convex portions 28) corresponding to the irregularities on the outer surface of the nonwoven fabric layer 11a, and is not half-divided, but as shown in FIG. Is divided into four equal parts in the circumferential direction.

  In addition, although the unevenness | corrugation of the core mold | type 21 and the 1st movable mold | type 22 continues spirally, in FIG. 5, for convenience, the core mold | type 21 is shown with a circular cross section and the 1st movable mold | type 22 is made to respond | correspond to it. Indicated.

  The nonwoven fabric 13 is attached to the core mold 21 by an appropriate method. In this example, the nonwoven fabric 13 is formed in a cylindrical shape by appropriately overlapping the end portions 13a thereof, and is covered with the core mold 21. The overlapped portion of the end portion 13a of the nonwoven fabric 13 is fixed by an appropriate method using needle punching or sewing, and further using an adhesive or staples. This fixing may be about temporary fixing.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the nonwoven fabric 13 is set to have a length L <b> 1 longer than a length L <b> 2 of the main body portion 25 of the core mold 21. This is because the length of the nonwoven fabric 13 is reduced when the nonwoven fabric 13 is deformed following the irregularities of the core mold 21 and the first movable mold 22 by molding. Set.

  And as shown in FIG. 6, it heat-compresses and shape | molds. Depending on the material of the nonwoven fabric 13, the material of the water-absorbing polymer, the presence or absence, etc., when the nonwoven fabric is made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), for example, at a temperature of about 80 to 200 degrees, for 5 to 30 seconds. What is necessary is just to heat-compress.

  In addition, since the 1st movable 22 surrounding the core type | mold 21 is the structure divided into 4 as mentioned above, it can shape | mold to a desired shape, without giving the extra distortion to the nonwoven fabric 13. FIG.

  That is, when the nonwoven fabric 13 is attached to the core mold 21, the inner surface of the nonwoven fabric 13 is in contact with the convex portion 24 of the core mold 21, but as shown in FIG. When the convex portion 28 tries to bite into the concave portion 23 of the core mold 21, the distance L3 from the position where the convex portion 28 of the first movable mold 22 first hits the nonwoven fabric 13 to the position where it finally reaches is half Shorter than the case of splitting. For this reason, when the first movable mold 22 is closed (see FIG. 8), it is possible to suppress a part of the nonwoven fabric 13 from being compressed and forming a burr-like lump in the parting line portion of the first movable mold 22. . Since this effect is enhanced as the number of divisions of the first movable mold 22 is increased, it is better that the number of divisions of the first movable mold 22 is larger.

When the mold is opened and the nonwoven fabric molding process is completed, the nonwoven fabric 13 is integrated with the core mold 21 as shown in FIG.
It shifts to the next synthetic resin molding process with this integrated state.

  In the synthetic resin molding step, a synthetic resin having a shape corresponding to the uneven shape of the synthetic resin layer 11b of the pipe joint 11 is formed.

FIG. 10 shows the core mold 21, the second movable mold 29, and the upper mold 30 used in the synthetic resin molding process.
Since the core mold 21 has already been described, the description thereof is omitted.

  The second movable mold 29 is for forming a synthetic resin layer in cooperation with the upper mold 30 on the outer surface of the nonwoven fabric 13 formed in the nonwoven fabric forming step. The second movable mold 29 is formed on the outer surface of the synthetic resin layer 11b to be formed. It has the unevenness | corrugation (the recessed part 31 and the convex part 32) corresponding to a spiral uneven | corrugated strip.

  An auxiliary opening / closing portion 29 a that has this unevenness and that moves relative to the step portion 26 of the core die 21 is provided below the portion corresponding to the main body portion 25 of the core die 21.

  The second movable mold 29 is preferably divided into four parts like the first movable mold 22, but may be divided into two parts.

  The upper die 30 receives the top portion of the core die 21, is provided with a receiving surface portion 30 a having a diameter larger than the diameter of the core die 21, and a meshing portion that meshes with the upper end portion 29 b of the second movable die 29 on the outer peripheral portion thereof. 30b is formed.

  In the synthetic resin molding, the core mold 21 with the nonwoven fabric 13 is brought into contact with the receiving surface 30a of the upper mold 30 and the second movable mold 21 is closed. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, a cavity 33 having the same shape as the synthetic resin layer 11b to be formed is formed.

  In this state, the synthetic resin is injected from the second movable mold 29 and injection molding is performed. After the molding, as shown in FIG. 12, after opening the auxiliary opening / closing part 29a, the core mold 21 is rotated to separate only the core mold 21, and then the second movable mold 29 is opened to form the mold. The formed pipe joint 11 can be taken out. The core mold 21 can be detached smoothly because the rotation is prevented by the presence of a burr formed in the parting line portion of the second movable mold 29. In particular, as described above, when the second movable die 29 is divided into four parts, the burr can be formed at four surrounding places, so that the rotation is satisfactorily prevented.

  Since the pipe joint 11 molded in this manner is formed by first molding the nonwoven fabric 13 and then molding the synthetic resin, the layers comprising the respective layers, that is, the nonwoven fabric layer 11a and the synthetic resin layer 11b, have a desired shape and thickness. Can be formed. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 13, the inner peripheral nonwoven fabric layer 11a and the outer peripheral synthetic resin layer 11b have substantially uniform thicknesses in the length direction. Further, the thickness of the unevenness of each layer 11a, 11b is substantially uniform.

  Therefore, the nonwoven fabric layer 11a or the synthetic resin layer 11b is not partially thickened or thinned, and each layer 11a, 11b can exhibit a desired function. That is, since the nonwoven fabric layer 11a contains a water-absorbing polymer, an action of absorbing moisture and expanding is reliably obtained throughout. Further, the synthetic resin layer 11b reliably maintains the connection state of the tube body 14 and protects the internal cables and the like due to its characteristics, that is, high strength, high weather resistance, and the like.

  Moreover, since the synthetic resin layer 11b is formed after shaping | molding the nonwoven fabric 13, each can be reliably formed in a desired shape. For this reason, it is possible to greatly reduce the rate of occurrence of defective products during manufacturing, thereby improving productivity.

  In addition, even when the nonwoven fabric 13 uses the thing of a multilayer structure for the predetermined objective, it can suppress as much as possible that the thickness of each layer can be uneven. That is, in order to prevent the water-absorbing polymer from being affected by the heat of the synthetic resin in the synthetic resin molding step, the nonwoven fabric 13 is shown in FIG. As shown, it is formed in a two-layer structure, and the inner layer 13b opposite to the synthetic resin contains a water-absorbing polymer, and the outer layer 13c located on the synthetic resin side does not contain the water-absorbing polymer. However, even in such a case, the thicknesses of the layers 13b and 13c of the nonwoven fabric 13 can be uniformly formed by separately molding the nonwoven fabric 13 and the synthetic resin. For this reason, the intended purpose of the two-layer structure can be reliably achieved.

  Further, since the molding of the synthetic resin is performed by injection molding, as shown in FIG. 15 (a), on the outer peripheral surface of the pipe joint 11, the ridge protruding to the outer peripheral side over the entire length direction or a part thereof. Even if 11c is formed, it can be formed more beautifully than when it is formed using a parison. The protrusion 11c is intended to positively prevent rotation when the core die 21 is removed, and to enable easy rotation when used. As long as it is formed, the edge is straight. It is preferable to form it cleanly. When molding using a parison, since the parison is cylindrical and is compressed with a mold, it is difficult to positively infiltrate the synthetic resin into the cavity corresponding to the protrusion 11c portion. In the case of injection molding, a necessary amount of synthetic resin can be reliably injected and formed. FIG. 15B is a cross-sectional view showing the core mold 21 and the second movable mold 29, and a cavity 34 is formed in a portion corresponding to the protrusion 11c.

  In the above-described example, the pipe body 14 to which the pipe joint 11 is connected has been described as having the spiral concavo-convex strip 12, but it is not a spiral but a corrugated pipe having a bellows-like or similar concavo-convex strip. Also good. In that case, the concave and convex strips of the pipe joint 11 are also formed in a shape corresponding to the concave and convex strips of the pipe body.

  In addition, the pipe joint 11 is not a joint that connects the same kind of pipes as in the above-described example, but may be a different kind of pipe joint that connects different kinds of pipes, or may be a pipe joint that is not cylindrical.

  16, FIG. 17, and FIG. 18 show a dissimilar pipe joint (pipe joint 11) and a mold for manufacturing the same. In the following description, parts that are the same as or similar to those described above are assigned the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

  That is, the pipe joint 11 includes a first connection part 35 having a spiral unevenness like the above-described pipe joint 11 and a cylindrical second connection part 36 having no unevenness. And it has the nonwoven fabric layer 11a containing a water absorbing polymer in the internal peripheral surface of the said 1st connection part 35. As shown in FIG.

  Also in manufacture of this pipe joint 11, the core mold 21 is shared by the nonwoven fabric molding process and the synthetic resin molding process.

  The core mold 21 and the first movable mold 22 are formed in the same manner as in the previous example, as shown in FIG. The configuration divided into four in the circumferential direction is the same.

  The second movable die 29 is also basically formed in the same manner as in the previous example, but a tube having an uneven shape is formed on the upper side (upper portion 38) of the lower portion 37 corresponding to the core die 21. In order to form the second connection part for connecting a body (not shown), a cavity 39 having a shape corresponding to the second connection part 36 is formed with the upper mold 30.

The diameter of the receiving surface portion 30 a of the upper mold 30 is set to a size corresponding to the diameter of the core mold 21 covered with the nonwoven fabric 13. That is, the upper end of the nonwoven fabric 13 is received and pressed by the surface portion 30a.
The nonwoven fabric molding step and the synthetic resin molding step are performed in the same manner as described above.
In addition, you may form a nonwoven fabric layer also in the internal peripheral surface of a 2nd connection part.

  19, 20, and 21 show a halved straight joint (pipe joint 11) and a mold for manufacturing the same. Again, parts that are the same as or similar to those described above are given the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

  That is, this pipe joint 11 connects the said pipe body 14 which has the spiral uneven | corrugated strip 14a similarly to the above-mentioned pipe joint 11, but the two pipe joint carriers 40 and 40 whose cross section makes a substantially semicircular arc shape. It consists of That is, the pipe joint carrier 40 has a shape having flange portions 40a, 40a at both ends of the semicircular arc shape, and when connecting the pipe bodies, the pipe joint carrier 40 is connected to the flange 40a from above the abutted pipe bodies. The nonwoven fabric layer 11a containing a water-absorbing polymer is formed on the entire inner peripheral surface.

  Also in manufacture of this pipe joint 11, the core mold 21 is shared by the nonwoven fabric molding process and the synthetic resin molding process.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the core mold 21 has a main body portion 25 having a substantially bowl shape with a semicircular cross section. On the surface thereof, irregularities (concave portions 23 and convex portions 24) forming a predetermined spiral are formed. ing. In addition, the first movable mold 22 has a substantially semicircular cross section, and is provided with irregularities (concave portions 27 and convex portions 28) forming a predetermined spiral on the inner peripheral surface.

  The first movable mold 22 may be integrated, or may be divided into a plurality of parts. In this case, if the structure is divided into at least two, as described above, the strain applied to the nonwoven fabric 13 to be molded can be suppressed, and the nonwoven fabric 13 can be uniformly molded into a desired shape. Contribute to

As shown in FIG. 21, the second movable die 29 has a hollow box shape covering the main body portion 25 of the core die 21, and irregularities (concave portion 31 and convex portion 32) forming a predetermined spiral are formed on the inner peripheral surface. Has been.
The nonwoven fabric molding step and the synthetic resin molding step are performed in the same manner as described above.

The present invention relates to, for example, a pipe joint for connecting pipes that protect power cables and communication cables buried in the ground, and more specifically, a pipe joint in which a synthetic resin and a nonwoven fabric are laminated and integrated. The present invention relates to a manufacturing method and a pipe joint .

  In this specification, the term “synthetic resin” is used to include synthetic rubber and natural rubber.

Since the pipe joint is buried in the ground, a certain waterproof property and water-stopping property are required between the pipe body and the pipe joint. In order to easily satisfy such waterproofness / waterproofness, an invention “pipe joint with watertight sealing sheet” of the following Patent Document 1 has been proposed.

  In this pipe joint, a water-tight sealing fiber sheet is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the short pipe part at both ends, and a part of the water-tight sealing fiber sheet and the short pipe part are A part of the short tube forming material to be molded is melted and integrated. The fiber sheet for watertight sealing is made of a non-woven fabric, and holds water-swellable resin material powder between the fiber surface and the fibers.

  In such a pipe joint, the connection work is completed simply by inserting and connecting the pipe body with the spiral wave to the short pipe portions at both ends thereof while rotating. In other words, the resin material of the watertight sealing fiber sheet absorbs the moisture in the ground without separately wrapping the adhesive tape to obtain waterproofness and waterstop, so that the space between the pipe body and the pipe joint is absorbed. Is fully filled and a watertight sealed state is developed and maintained, so that watertightness can be easily obtained.

  By the way, manufacture of this pipe joint is performed as follows. A fiber sheet for watertight sealing in the form of a rectangular sheet is wound into a cylindrical shape and temporarily attached around the core metal of the molding die. Next, using a half mold that forms a cylindrical cavity for molding the short pipe part, a molding resin is injected into the cavity, and at the same time as forming the short pipe part, on the inner peripheral surface of the short pipe part It is fusion-bonded to the fiber. That is, as shown in FIG. 22, the water-sealable fiber sheet 102 is wound around the core metal 101, and then the half-divided mold 103 is pressed as shown by the phantom line, and the formed cavity The molding resin is injected.

  However, since the injection of the molding resin is performed at a stretch at a high pressure, and the short pipe portion of the pipe joint has an uneven shape with a spiral wave, both the water-tight sealing fiber sheet 102 and the molding resin are It is difficult to achieve a uniform thickness throughout. That is, when the half mold 103 is moved to the core metal 101 side to form a cavity (closed mold), the protruding portion 103a of the half mold 103 hits the fiber sheet 102 for watertight sealing, Tension is applied to the fiber sheet 102 for watertight sealing. When the cavity is formed by the closed mold, the thickness of the watertight sealing fiber sheet 102 is likely to be reduced particularly at a portion corresponding to the protruding portion 103 a of the cored bar 101. Since the molding resin is injected in this state, a thin portion of the watertight sealing fiber sheet 102 is easily formed, and in some cases, the molding resin may come out through the watertight sealing fiber sheet 102. . If a portion of the fiber sheet 102 for watertight sealing is thin, the expansibility of that portion is low, and the desired watertightness may not be obtained.

  In addition, since the half mold 103 is divided in half, that is, divided into two, as shown in FIG. 23, when the mold is closed, the watertight sealing is performed at the beginning of the half mold 103. The distance L between the position in contact with the fiber sheet 102 and the position at the time of closing is long. For this reason, the fiber sheet 102 for watertight sealing is compressed at the parting line position of the half-divided mold 103, and a part having a shape like a burr in resin molding is formed. If such a portion is formed, the resin portion becomes conversely thinned at this portion, which causes a problem in terms of protection of cables and the like.

  In order to avoid the inconveniences as described above, the injection pressure, temperature, gate position, and the like are devised, but the thickness of each layer tends to be uneven, and the ratio of defective products is not low.

  In addition, a method of forming a parison (cylindrical polymer melt) like blow molding instead of injection molding is also proposed for the resin portion that wraps the nonwoven fabric (see Patent Document 2). The resin portion is molded only by winding the nonwoven fabric around the core as described above.

No. 7-52467 JP 2003-251686 A

  Then, this invention makes it the main subject to provide the manufacturing method of a synthetic resin composite molded product which can form a nonwoven fabric layer and a synthetic resin layer in a uniform thickness, respectively.

For this purpose, a pipe joint in which an uneven strip having a nonwoven fabric layer made of a nonwoven fabric and a synthetic resin layer made of a synthetic resin laminated on the nonwoven fabric layer in the thickness direction is continuously formed in the length direction . A non-woven fabric molding step in which a sheet-like nonwoven fabric is heated and compression-molded by a fixed mold and a movable mold into a concavo-convex shape corresponding to the concavo-convex shape and having a substantially uniform thickness over the length direction , on nonwoven fabric formed by nonwoven fabric forming process that corresponds to the uneven conditions, a and length method of manufacturing a pipe joint having a synthetic resin molding step of molding a synthetic resin having a substantially uniform thickness over the direction It is characterized by.

  That is, a synthetic resin layer having a shape corresponding to the uneven shape of the synthetic resin layer of the molded product is formed on the nonwoven fabric formed into an uneven shape corresponding to the uneven shape of the nonwoven fabric layer of the molded product. The resin layers are each formed with a uniform thickness without unevenness.

In addition, since the nonwoven fabric forming step is performed by heating and compressing with a fixed mold and a movable mold, the forming can be easily and reliably performed.

  In the present invention, the “fixed type” is an expression in comparison with a paired type, and does not mean that it is limited to a non-moving type.

  Moreover, although the said synthetic resin molding process can also be performed after forming a parison, it is good to carry out by injection molding. The molding operation is simple and the molding can be performed in a short time. In addition, since the nonwoven fabric is molded prior to the molding of the synthetic resin, even if the synthetic resin is injected, the nonwoven fabric is not forcibly pushed, the synthetic resin flows smoothly, and the synthetic resin layer to be formed The entire cavity formed in a shape corresponding to the shape can be spread and formed into a desired shape. Moreover, since the structure | tissue of a nonwoven fabric hardens to some extent by shaping | molding, it is difficult to break a nonwoven fabric, and it can suppress that a synthetic resin comes out inside through a nonwoven fabric even if it is injection-molded.

  Furthermore, the synthetic resin molding step may be performed by transferring the nonwoven fabric molded in the nonwoven fabric molding step while being integrated with the fixed mold. There is no need to remove the molded nonwoven fabric from the fixed mold and mount it again on another mold, so that the work can be performed easily and the production efficiency can be increased.

The fixed mold is formed in a substantially circular or semicircular cross section, and the first movable mold located on the outer peripheral side of the fixed mold is divided into three or more when the fixed mold has a substantially circular cross section. When the fixed mold has a substantially semicircular cross section, when it is divided into two or more pieces in the entire length direction in the circumferential direction , a half mold is used when forming a concavo-convex shape corresponding to the concavo-convex shape of the nonwoven fabric layer The strain can be reduced as compared with the above, and the burr-like portion formed at the parting line position of the nonwoven fabric can be reduced, so that the thickness uniformity can be obtained.

Another means is a pipe joint manufactured by the above-described pipe joint manufacturing method.

As described above, according to the present invention, the pipe joint in which the uneven strip having the nonwoven fabric layer and the synthetic resin layer in the thickness direction is continuously formed in the length direction, the nonwoven fabric first corresponds to the uneven strip. Since the synthetic resin having a shape corresponding to the above-mentioned irregularities is molded and integrated on the nonwoven fabric, the nonwoven fabric layer and the synthetic resin layer are each formed to have a uniform thickness as desired. For this reason, it is possible to avoid the disadvantage that the nonwoven fabric layer or the synthetic resin layer is partially thickened or thinned and does not perform a desired function.

  Moreover, since a synthetic resin layer is formed after shape | molding a nonwoven fabric, each can be reliably formed in a desired shape. For this reason, the rate at which defective products are generated can be greatly reduced.

An embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In this embodiment, a pipe joint 11 will be described as an example of a synthetic resin composite molded product.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pipe joint 11, and the pipe joint 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a continuous spiral ridge 12. And as shown also in FIG. 2, the nonwoven fabric 13 is integrated in the whole inner peripheral surface. That is, it has a two-layer structure including a nonwoven fabric layer 11a and a synthetic resin layer 11b laminated and integrated with the nonwoven fabric layer 11a.

  The said nonwoven fabric has the softness | flexibility which can be expanded-contracted, and contains the water absorptive polymer expanded by absorbing a water | moisture content. Examples of the water-absorbing polymer include granular or powdery materials, fibrous materials (for example, “BEL OASIS” registered trademark manufactured by Kanebo Synthetic Co., Ltd., “Lanseal” registered trademark manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.), and liquid (for example, , "Equas" registered trademark manufactured by Sun Add Co., Ltd.) is used, and the granular or powdery material is attached to the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric or held between the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric. Moreover, a fibrous thing is mixed with the fiber which comprises a nonwoven fabric with a suitable binder. The liquid material is impregnated into the nonwoven fabric 13 by coating or dipping after forming the pipe joint 11.

  Such a pipe joint 11 is used in order to connect the pipe body 14 which has the continuous spiral uneven | corrugated strip 14a similarly (refer FIG. 3). That is, when the pipe body 14 is screwed and inserted into both ends of the pipe joint 11, and the water-absorbing polymer in the nonwoven fabric 13 absorbs moisture, the nonwoven fabric 13 portion is connected to the pipe joint 11. It swells up with the pipe body 15, and the waterproofness and water-stopping property between both are obtained.

  The tube body 15 is buried in the ground in a state where an electric wire or cable is inserted, and protects the electric wire or cable. Therefore, after connecting as described above, the tube body 15 is simply buried in the ground. As shown in FIG. 3, the non-woven fabric 13 part automatically expands, and as described above, waterproofness / waterproofness can be obtained.

Below, the manufacturing method of the above pipe joints 11 is demonstrated.
The manufacture of the pipe joint 11 includes a nonwoven fabric molding process and a synthetic resin molding process.

  First, in the nonwoven fabric forming step, the sheet-shaped nonwoven fabric 13 is formed into an uneven shape corresponding to the uneven shape of the nonwoven fabric layer 11a of the pipe joint 11. In addition, this nonwoven fabric 13 is a thing containing only the granular or powdery water-absorbing polymer or the fibrous water-absorbing polymer as described above, or only the nonwoven fabric fiber to be impregnated later.

  4 and 5 show the core mold 21 and the first movable mold 22 used in the nonwoven fabric forming process.

  The core mold 21 has a substantially cylindrical shape having irregularities (concave portions 23 and convex portions 24) corresponding to the irregularities on the inner surface of the nonwoven fabric layer 11a. Also forms a step 26 with a small diameter.

  The first movable mold 22 has irregularities (concave portions 27 and convex portions 28) corresponding to the irregularities on the outer surface of the nonwoven fabric layer 11a, and is not half-divided, but as shown in FIG. Is divided into four equal parts in the circumferential direction.

  In addition, although the unevenness | corrugation of the core mold | type 21 and the 1st movable mold | type 22 continues spirally, in FIG. 5, for convenience, the core mold | type 21 is shown with a circular cross section and the 1st movable mold | type 22 is made to respond | correspond to it. Indicated.

  The nonwoven fabric 13 is attached to the core mold 21 by an appropriate method. In this example, the nonwoven fabric 13 is formed in a cylindrical shape by appropriately overlapping the end portions 13a thereof, and is covered with the core mold 21. The overlapped portion of the end portion 13a of the nonwoven fabric 13 is fixed by an appropriate method using needle punching or sewing, and further using an adhesive or staples. This fixing may be about temporary fixing.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the nonwoven fabric 13 is set to have a length L <b> 1 longer than a length L <b> 2 of the main body portion 25 of the core mold 21. This is because the length of the nonwoven fabric 13 is reduced when the nonwoven fabric 13 is deformed following the irregularities of the core mold 21 and the first movable mold 22 by molding. Set.

  And as shown in FIG. 6, it heat-compresses and shape | molds. Depending on the material of the nonwoven fabric 13, the material of the water-absorbing polymer, the presence or absence, etc., when the nonwoven fabric is made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), for example, at a temperature of about 80 to 200 degrees, for 5 to 30 seconds. What is necessary is just to heat-compress.

  In addition, since the 1st movable 22 surrounding the core type | mold 21 is the structure divided into 4 as mentioned above, it can shape | mold to a desired shape, without giving the extra distortion to the nonwoven fabric 13. FIG.

  That is, when the nonwoven fabric 13 is attached to the core mold 21, the inner surface of the nonwoven fabric 13 is in contact with the convex portion 24 of the core mold 21, but as shown in FIG. When the convex portion 28 tries to bite into the concave portion 23 of the core mold 21, the distance L3 from the position where the convex portion 28 of the first movable mold 22 first hits the nonwoven fabric 13 to the position where it finally reaches is half Shorter than the case of splitting. For this reason, when the first movable mold 22 is closed (see FIG. 8), it is possible to suppress a part of the nonwoven fabric 13 from being compressed and forming a burr-like lump in the parting line portion of the first movable mold 22. . Since this effect is enhanced as the number of divisions of the first movable mold 22 is increased, it is better that the number of divisions of the first movable mold 22 is larger.

When the mold is opened and the nonwoven fabric molding process is completed, the nonwoven fabric 13 is integrated with the core mold 21 as shown in FIG.
It shifts to the next synthetic resin molding process with this integrated state.

  In the synthetic resin molding step, a synthetic resin having a shape corresponding to the uneven shape of the synthetic resin layer 11b of the pipe joint 11 is formed.

FIG. 10 shows the core mold 21, the second movable mold 29, and the upper mold 30 used in the synthetic resin molding process.
Since the core mold 21 has already been described, the description thereof is omitted.

  The second movable mold 29 is for forming a synthetic resin layer in cooperation with the upper mold 30 on the outer surface of the nonwoven fabric 13 formed in the nonwoven fabric forming step. The second movable mold 29 is formed on the outer surface of the synthetic resin layer 11b to be formed. It has the unevenness | corrugation (the recessed part 31 and the convex part 32) corresponding to a spiral uneven | corrugated strip.

  An auxiliary opening / closing portion 29 a that has this unevenness and that moves relative to the step portion 26 of the core die 21 is provided below the portion corresponding to the main body portion 25 of the core die 21.

  The second movable mold 29 is preferably divided into four parts like the first movable mold 22, but may be divided into two parts.

  The upper die 30 receives the top portion of the core die 21, is provided with a receiving surface portion 30 a having a diameter larger than the diameter of the core die 21, and a meshing portion that meshes with the upper end portion 29 b of the second movable die 29 on the outer peripheral portion thereof. 30b is formed.

  In the synthetic resin molding, the core mold 21 with the nonwoven fabric 13 is brought into contact with the receiving surface 30a of the upper mold 30 and the second movable mold 21 is closed. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, a cavity 33 having the same shape as the synthetic resin layer 11b to be formed is formed.

  In this state, the synthetic resin is injected from the second movable mold 29 and injection molding is performed. After the molding, as shown in FIG. 12, after opening the auxiliary opening / closing part 29a, the core mold 21 is rotated to separate only the core mold 21, and then the second movable mold 29 is opened to form the mold. The formed pipe joint 11 can be taken out. The core mold 21 can be detached smoothly because the rotation is prevented by the presence of a burr formed in the parting line portion of the second movable mold 29. In particular, as described above, when the second movable die 29 is divided into four parts, the burr can be formed at four surrounding places, so that the rotation is satisfactorily prevented.

  Since the pipe joint 11 molded in this manner is formed by first molding the nonwoven fabric 13 and then molding the synthetic resin, the layers comprising the respective layers, that is, the nonwoven fabric layer 11a and the synthetic resin layer 11b, have a desired shape and thickness. Can be formed. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 13, the inner peripheral nonwoven fabric layer 11a and the outer peripheral synthetic resin layer 11b have substantially uniform thicknesses in the length direction. Further, the thickness of the unevenness of each layer 11a, 11b is substantially uniform.

  Therefore, the nonwoven fabric layer 11a or the synthetic resin layer 11b is not partially thickened or thinned, and each layer 11a, 11b can exhibit a desired function. That is, since the nonwoven fabric layer 11a contains a water-absorbing polymer, an action of absorbing moisture and expanding is reliably obtained throughout. Further, the synthetic resin layer 11b reliably maintains the connection state of the tube body 14 and protects the internal cables and the like due to its characteristics, that is, high strength, high weather resistance, and the like.

  Moreover, since the synthetic resin layer 11b is formed after shaping | molding the nonwoven fabric 13, each can be reliably formed in a desired shape. For this reason, it is possible to greatly reduce the rate of occurrence of defective products during manufacturing, thereby improving productivity.

  In addition, even when the nonwoven fabric 13 uses the thing of a multilayer structure for the predetermined objective, it can suppress as much as possible that the thickness of each layer can be uneven. That is, in order to prevent the water-absorbing polymer from being affected by the heat of the synthetic resin in the synthetic resin molding step, the nonwoven fabric 13 is shown in FIG. As shown, it is formed in a two-layer structure, and the inner layer 13b opposite to the synthetic resin contains a water-absorbing polymer, and the outer layer 13c located on the synthetic resin side does not contain the water-absorbing polymer. However, even in such a case, the thicknesses of the layers 13b and 13c of the nonwoven fabric 13 can be uniformly formed by separately molding the nonwoven fabric 13 and the synthetic resin. For this reason, the intended purpose of the two-layer structure can be reliably achieved.

  Further, since the molding of the synthetic resin is performed by injection molding, as shown in FIG. 15 (a), on the outer peripheral surface of the pipe joint 11, the ridge protruding to the outer peripheral side over the entire length direction or a part thereof. Even if 11c is formed, it can be formed more beautifully than when it is formed using a parison. The protrusion 11c is intended to positively prevent rotation when the core die 21 is removed, and to enable easy rotation when used. As long as it is formed, the edge is straight. It is preferable to form it cleanly. When molding using a parison, since the parison is cylindrical and is compressed with a mold, it is difficult to positively infiltrate the synthetic resin into the cavity corresponding to the protrusion 11c portion. In the case of injection molding, a necessary amount of synthetic resin can be reliably injected and formed. FIG. 15B is a cross-sectional view showing the core mold 21 and the second movable mold 29, and a cavity 34 is formed in a portion corresponding to the protrusion 11c.

  In the above-described example, the pipe body 14 to which the pipe joint 11 is connected has been described as having the spiral concavo-convex strip 12, but it is not a spiral but a corrugated pipe having a bellows-like or similar concavo-convex strip. Also good. In that case, the concave and convex strips of the pipe joint 11 are also formed in a shape corresponding to the concave and convex strips of the pipe body.

  In addition, the pipe joint 11 is not a joint that connects the same kind of pipes as in the above-described example, but may be a different kind of pipe joint that connects different kinds of pipes, or may be a pipe joint that is not cylindrical.

  16, FIG. 17, and FIG. 18 show a dissimilar pipe joint (pipe joint 11) and a mold for manufacturing the same. In the following description, parts that are the same as or similar to those described above are assigned the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

  That is, the pipe joint 11 includes a first connection part 35 having a spiral unevenness like the above-described pipe joint 11 and a cylindrical second connection part 36 having no unevenness. And it has the nonwoven fabric layer 11a containing a water absorbing polymer in the internal peripheral surface of the said 1st connection part 35. As shown in FIG.

  Also in manufacture of this pipe joint 11, the core mold 21 is shared by the nonwoven fabric molding process and the synthetic resin molding process.

  The core mold 21 and the first movable mold 22 are formed in the same manner as in the previous example, as shown in FIG. The configuration divided into four in the circumferential direction is the same.

  The second movable die 29 is also basically formed in the same manner as in the previous example, but a tube having an uneven shape is formed on the upper side (upper portion 38) of the lower portion 37 corresponding to the core die 21. In order to form the second connection part for connecting a body (not shown), a cavity 39 having a shape corresponding to the second connection part 36 is formed with the upper mold 30.

The diameter of the receiving surface portion 30 a of the upper mold 30 is set to a size corresponding to the diameter of the core mold 21 covered with the nonwoven fabric 13. That is, the upper end of the nonwoven fabric 13 is received and pressed by the surface portion 30a.
The nonwoven fabric molding step and the synthetic resin molding step are performed in the same manner as described above.
In addition, you may form a nonwoven fabric layer also in the internal peripheral surface of a 2nd connection part.

  19, 20, and 21 show a halved straight joint (pipe joint 11) and a mold for manufacturing the same. Again, parts that are the same as or similar to those described above are given the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

  That is, this pipe joint 11 connects the said pipe body 14 which has the spiral uneven | corrugated strip 14a similarly to the above-mentioned pipe joint 11, but the two pipe joint carriers 40 and 40 whose cross section makes a substantially semicircular arc shape. It consists of That is, the pipe joint carrier 40 has a shape having flange portions 40a, 40a at both ends of the semicircular arc shape, and when connecting the pipe bodies, the pipe joint carrier 40 is connected to the flange 40a from above the abutted pipe bodies. The nonwoven fabric layer 11a containing a water-absorbing polymer is formed on the entire inner peripheral surface.

  Also in manufacture of this pipe joint 11, the core mold 21 is shared by the nonwoven fabric molding process and the synthetic resin molding process.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the core mold 21 has a main body portion 25 having a substantially bowl shape with a semicircular cross section. On the surface thereof, irregularities (concave portions 23 and convex portions 24) forming a predetermined spiral are formed. ing. In addition, the first movable mold 22 has a substantially semicircular cross section, and is provided with irregularities (concave portions 27 and convex portions 28) forming a predetermined spiral on the inner peripheral surface.

  The first movable mold 22 may be integrated, or may be divided into a plurality of parts. In this case, if the structure is divided into at least two, as described above, the strain applied to the nonwoven fabric 13 to be molded can be suppressed, and the nonwoven fabric 13 can be uniformly molded into a desired shape. Contribute to

As shown in FIG. 21, the second movable die 29 has a hollow box shape covering the main body portion 25 of the core die 21, and irregularities (concave portion 31 and convex portion 32) forming a predetermined spiral are formed on the inner peripheral surface. Has been.
The nonwoven fabric molding step and the synthetic resin molding step are performed in the same manner as described above.

The present invention relates to, for example, a pipe joint for connecting pipes that protect power cables and communication cables buried in the ground, and more specifically, a pipe joint in which a synthetic resin and a nonwoven fabric are laminated and integrated. about the production how.

  In this specification, the term “synthetic resin” is used to include synthetic rubber and natural rubber.

  Since the pipe joint is buried in the ground, a certain waterproof property and water-stopping property are required between the pipe body and the pipe joint. In order to easily satisfy such waterproofness / waterproofness, an invention “pipe joint with watertight sealing sheet” of the following Patent Document 1 has been proposed.

  In this pipe joint, a water-tight sealing fiber sheet is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the short pipe part at both ends, and a part of the water-tight sealing fiber sheet and the short pipe part are A part of the short tube forming material to be molded is melted and integrated. The fiber sheet for watertight sealing is made of a non-woven fabric, and holds water-swellable resin material powder between the fiber surface and the fibers.

  In such a pipe joint, the connection work is completed simply by inserting and connecting the pipe body with the spiral wave to the short pipe portions at both ends thereof while rotating. In other words, the resin material of the watertight sealing fiber sheet absorbs the moisture in the ground without separately wrapping the adhesive tape to obtain waterproofness and waterstop, so that the space between the pipe body and the pipe joint is absorbed. Is fully filled and a watertight sealed state is developed and maintained, so that watertightness can be easily obtained.

  By the way, manufacture of this pipe joint is performed as follows. A fiber sheet for watertight sealing in the form of a rectangular sheet is wound into a cylindrical shape and temporarily attached around the core metal of the molding die. Next, using a half mold that forms a cylindrical cavity for molding the short pipe part, a molding resin is injected into the cavity, and at the same time as forming the short pipe part, on the inner peripheral surface of the short pipe part It is fusion-bonded to the fiber. That is, as shown in FIG. 22, the water-sealable fiber sheet 102 is wound around the core metal 101, and then the half-divided mold 103 is pressed as shown by the phantom line to form the inside of the formed cavity. The molding resin is injected.

However, since the injection of the molding resin is performed at a stretch at a high pressure, and the short pipe portion of the pipe joint has an uneven shape with a spiral wave, both the water-tight sealing fiber sheet 102 and the molding resin are It is difficult to achieve a uniform thickness throughout. That is, when the half mold 103 is moved to the core metal 101 side to form a cavity (closed mold), the protruding portion 103a of the half mold 103 hits the fiber sheet 102 for watertight sealing, Tension is applied to the fiber sheet 102 for watertight sealing. When the cavity is formed by the closed mold, the thickness of the watertight sealing fiber sheet 102 is likely to be reduced particularly at a portion corresponding to the protruding portion 103 a of the cored bar 101. Since the molding resin is injected in this state, a thin portion of the watertight sealing fiber sheet 102 is likely to be formed, and in some cases, the molding resin exits inside through the watertight sealing fiber sheet 102. There is also. If a portion of the fiber sheet 102 for watertight sealing is thin, the expansibility of that portion is low, and the desired watertightness may not be obtained.

  In addition, since the half mold 103 is divided in half, that is, divided into two, as shown in FIG. 23, when the mold is closed, the watertight sealing is performed at the beginning of the half mold 103. The distance L between the position in contact with the fiber sheet 102 and the position at the time of closing is long. For this reason, the fiber sheet 102 for watertight sealing is compressed at the parting line position of the half-divided mold 103, and a part having a shape like a burr in resin molding is formed. If such a portion is formed, the resin portion becomes conversely thinned at this portion, which causes a problem in terms of protection of cables and the like.

  In order to avoid the inconveniences as described above, the injection pressure, temperature, gate position, and the like are devised, but the thickness of each layer tends to be uneven, and the ratio of defective products is not low.

  In addition, a method of forming a parison (cylindrical polymer melt) like blow molding instead of injection molding is also proposed for the resin portion that wraps the nonwoven fabric (see Patent Document 2). The resin portion is molded only by winding the nonwoven fabric around the core as described above.

  Then, this invention makes it the main subject to provide the manufacturing method of a synthetic resin composite molded product which can form a nonwoven fabric layer and a synthetic resin layer in a uniform thickness, respectively.

For this purpose, a pipe joint in which an uneven strip having a nonwoven fabric layer made of a nonwoven fabric and a synthetic resin layer made of a synthetic resin laminated on the nonwoven fabric layer in the thickness direction is continuously formed in the length direction. A non-woven fabric molding step in which a sheet-like nonwoven fabric is heated and compression-molded by a fixed mold and a movable mold into a concavo-convex shape corresponding to the concavo-convex shape and having a substantially uniform thickness over the length direction, on nonwoven fabric formed by the nonwoven fabric forming process, corresponding to the uneven conditions, substantially have a uniform thickness and over the length,
The synthetic resin molding step is a method for producing a pipe joint, wherein the nonwoven fabric molded in the nonwoven fabric molding step is transferred as it is integrated with the fixed mold .

  That is, a synthetic resin layer having a shape corresponding to the uneven shape of the synthetic resin layer of the molded product is formed on the nonwoven fabric formed into an uneven shape corresponding to the uneven shape of the nonwoven fabric layer of the molded product. The resin layers are each formed with a uniform thickness without unevenness.

  In addition, since the nonwoven fabric forming step is performed by heating and compressing with a fixed mold and a movable mold, the forming can be easily and reliably performed.

Furthermore, since the synthetic resin molding step is performed by transferring the nonwoven fabric molded in the nonwoven fabric molding step while being integrated with the fixed mold, it is necessary to remove the molded nonwoven fabric from the fixed mold and mount it again on another mold. Therefore, the work can be performed easily and the production efficiency can be increased.

  In the present invention, the “fixed type” is an expression in comparison with a paired type, and does not mean that it is limited to a non-moving type.

Upper Symbol synthetic resin molding step can also be performed after forming a parison, preferably performed by injection molding. The molding operation is simple and the molding can be performed in a short time. In addition, since the nonwoven fabric is molded prior to the molding of the synthetic resin, even if the synthetic resin is injected, the nonwoven fabric is not forcibly pushed, the synthetic resin flows smoothly, and the synthetic resin layer to be formed The entire cavity formed in a shape corresponding to the shape can be spread and formed into a desired shape. Moreover, since the structure | tissue of a nonwoven fabric hardens to some extent by shaping | molding, it is difficult to break a nonwoven fabric, and it can suppress that a synthetic resin comes out inside through a nonwoven fabric even if it is injection-molded.

  The fixed mold is formed in a substantially circular or semi-circular cross section, and the first movable mold located on the outer peripheral side of the fixed mold is divided into three or more when the fixed mold has a substantially circular cross section. When the fixed mold has a substantially semicircular cross section, when it is divided into two or more and the entire length in the circumferential direction, a half-die is used when forming a concavo-convex shape corresponding to the concavo-convex shape of the nonwoven fabric layer The strain can be reduced as compared with the above, and the burr-like portion formed at the parting line position of the nonwoven fabric can be reduced, so that the thickness uniformity can be obtained.

The said uneven | corrugated strip is good in drawing a spiral.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the pipe joint in which the uneven strip having the nonwoven fabric layer and the synthetic resin layer in the thickness direction is continuously formed in the length direction, the nonwoven fabric first corresponds to the uneven strip. Since the synthetic resin having the shape corresponding to the above-mentioned concavo-convex shape is formed and integrated on the nonwoven fabric, the nonwoven fabric layer and the synthetic resin layer are each formed to have a uniform thickness as desired. For this reason, it is possible to avoid the disadvantage that the nonwoven fabric layer or the synthetic resin layer is partially thickened or thinned and does not perform a desired function.

  Moreover, since a synthetic resin layer is formed after shape | molding a nonwoven fabric, each can be reliably formed in a desired shape. For this reason, the rate at which defective products are generated can be greatly reduced.

An embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings .
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pipe joint 11, and the pipe joint 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a continuous spiral ridge 12. And as shown also in FIG. 2, the nonwoven fabric 13 is integrated in the whole inner peripheral surface. That is, it has a two-layer structure including a nonwoven fabric layer 11a and a synthetic resin layer 11b laminated and integrated with the nonwoven fabric layer 11a.

  The said nonwoven fabric has the softness | flexibility which can be expanded-contracted, and contains the water absorptive polymer expanded by absorbing a water | moisture content. Examples of the water-absorbing polymer include granular or powdery materials, fibrous materials (for example, “BEL OASIS” registered trademark manufactured by Kanebo Synthetic Co., Ltd., “Lanseal” registered trademark manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.), and liquid (for example, , "Equas" registered trademark manufactured by Sun Add Co., Ltd.) is used, and the granular or powdery material is attached to the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric or held between the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric. Moreover, a fibrous thing is mixed with the fiber which comprises a nonwoven fabric with a suitable binder. The liquid material is impregnated into the nonwoven fabric 13 by coating or dipping after forming the pipe joint 11.

  Such a pipe joint 11 is used in order to connect the pipe body 14 which has the continuous spiral uneven | corrugated strip 14a similarly (refer FIG. 3). That is, when the pipe body 14 is screwed and inserted into both ends of the pipe joint 11, and the water-absorbing polymer in the nonwoven fabric 13 absorbs moisture, the nonwoven fabric 13 portion is connected to the pipe joint 11. It swells up with the pipe body 15, and the waterproofness and water-stopping property between both are obtained.

  The tube body 15 is buried in the ground in a state where an electric wire or cable is inserted, and protects the electric wire or cable. Therefore, after connecting as described above, the tube body 15 is simply buried in the ground. As shown in FIG. 3, the non-woven fabric 13 part automatically expands, and as described above, waterproofness / waterproofness can be obtained.

Below, the manufacturing method of the above pipe joints 11 is demonstrated.
The manufacture of the pipe joint 11 includes a nonwoven fabric molding process and a synthetic resin molding process.

  First, in the nonwoven fabric forming step, the sheet-shaped nonwoven fabric 13 is formed into an uneven shape corresponding to the uneven shape of the nonwoven fabric layer 11a of the pipe joint 11. In addition, this nonwoven fabric 13 is a thing containing only the granular or powdery water-absorbing polymer or the fibrous water-absorbing polymer as described above, or only the nonwoven fabric fiber to be impregnated later.

  4 and 5 show the core mold 21 and the first movable mold 22 used in the nonwoven fabric forming process.

  The core mold 21 has a substantially cylindrical shape having irregularities (concave portions 23 and convex portions 24) corresponding to the irregularities on the inner surface of the nonwoven fabric layer 11 a, and the main body portion 25 is provided below the main body portion 25 having the irregularities. Also forms a step 26 with a small diameter.

  The first movable mold 22 has irregularities (concave portions 27 and convex portions 28) corresponding to the irregularities on the outer surface of the nonwoven fabric layer 11a, and is not half-divided, but as shown in FIG. Is divided into four equal parts in the circumferential direction.

  In addition, although the unevenness | corrugation of the core mold | type 21 and the 1st movable mold | type 22 continues spirally, in FIG. 5, for convenience, the core mold | type 21 is shown with a circular cross section and the 1st movable mold | type 22 is made to respond | correspond to it. Indicated.

  The nonwoven fabric 13 is attached to the core mold 21 by an appropriate method. In this example, the nonwoven fabric 13 is formed in a cylindrical shape by appropriately overlapping the end portions 13a thereof, and is covered with the core mold 21. The overlapped portion of the end portion 13a of the nonwoven fabric 13 is fixed by an appropriate method using needle punching or sewing, and further using an adhesive or staples. This fixing may be about temporary fixing.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the nonwoven fabric 13 is set to have a length L <b> 1 longer than a length L <b> 2 of the main body portion 25 of the core mold 21. This is because the length of the nonwoven fabric 13 is reduced when the nonwoven fabric 13 is deformed following the irregularities of the core mold 21 and the first movable mold 22 by molding. Set.

  And as shown in FIG. 6, it heat-compresses and shape | molds. Depending on the material of the nonwoven fabric 13, the material of the water-absorbing polymer, the presence or absence, etc., when the nonwoven fabric is made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), for example, at a temperature of about 80 to 200 degrees, for 5 to 30 seconds. What is necessary is just to heat-compress.

Since the first movable mold 22 surrounding the core mold 21 is divided into four parts as described above, the first movable mold 22 can be molded into a desired shape without giving extra strain to the nonwoven fabric 13.

  That is, when the nonwoven fabric 13 is attached to the core mold 21, the inner surface of the nonwoven fabric 13 is in contact with the convex portion 24 of the core mold 21, but as shown in FIG. When the convex portion 28 tries to bite into the concave portion 23 of the core mold 21, the distance L3 from the position where the convex portion 28 of the first movable mold 22 first hits the nonwoven fabric 13 to the position where it finally reaches is half Shorter than the case of splitting. For this reason, when the first movable mold 22 is closed (see FIG. 8), it is possible to suppress a part of the nonwoven fabric 13 from being compressed and forming a burr-like lump in the parting line portion of the first movable mold 22. . Since this effect is enhanced as the number of divisions of the first movable mold 22 is increased, it is better that the number of divisions of the first movable mold 22 is larger.

When the mold is opened and the nonwoven fabric molding process is completed, the nonwoven fabric 13 is integrated with the core mold 21 as shown in FIG.
It shifts to the next synthetic resin molding process with this integrated state.

  In the synthetic resin molding step, a synthetic resin having a shape corresponding to the uneven shape of the synthetic resin layer 11b of the pipe joint 11 is formed.

FIG. 10 shows the core mold 21, the second movable mold 29, and the upper mold 30 used in the synthetic resin molding process.
Since the core mold 21 has already been described, the description thereof is omitted.

  The second movable mold 29 is for forming a synthetic resin layer in cooperation with the upper mold 30 on the outer surface of the nonwoven fabric 13 formed in the nonwoven fabric forming step. The second movable mold 29 is formed on the outer surface of the synthetic resin layer 11b to be formed. It has the unevenness | corrugation (the recessed part 31 and the convex part 32) corresponding to a spiral uneven | corrugated strip.

  An auxiliary opening / closing portion 29 a that has this unevenness and that moves relative to the step portion 26 of the core die 21 is provided below the portion corresponding to the main body portion 25 of the core die 21.

  The second movable mold 29 is preferably divided into four parts like the first movable mold 22, but may be divided into two parts.

  The upper die 30 receives the top portion of the core die 21, is provided with a receiving surface portion 30 a having a diameter larger than the diameter of the core die 21, and a meshing portion that meshes with the upper end portion 29 b of the second movable die 29 on the outer peripheral portion thereof. 30b is formed.

  In the synthetic resin molding, the core mold 21 with the nonwoven fabric 13 is brought into contact with the receiving surface 30a of the upper mold 30 and the second movable mold 21 is closed. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, a cavity 33 having the same shape as the synthetic resin layer 11b to be formed is formed.

  In this state, the synthetic resin is injected from the second movable mold 29 and injection molding is performed. After the molding, as shown in FIG. 12, after opening the auxiliary opening / closing part 29a, the core mold 21 is rotated to separate only the core mold 21, and then the second movable mold 29 is opened to form the mold. The formed pipe joint 11 can be taken out. The core mold 21 can be detached smoothly because the rotation is prevented by the presence of a burr formed in the parting line portion of the second movable mold 29. In particular, as described above, when the second movable die 29 is divided into four parts, the burr can be formed at four surrounding places, so that the rotation is satisfactorily prevented.

  Since the pipe joint 11 molded in this manner is formed by first molding the nonwoven fabric 13 and then molding the synthetic resin, the layers comprising the respective layers, that is, the nonwoven fabric layer 11a and the synthetic resin layer 11b, have a desired shape and thickness. Can be formed. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 13, the inner peripheral nonwoven fabric layer 11a and the outer peripheral synthetic resin layer 11b have substantially uniform thicknesses in the length direction. Further, the thickness of the unevenness of each layer 11a, 11b is substantially uniform.

  Therefore, the nonwoven fabric layer 11a or the synthetic resin layer 11b is not partially thickened or thinned, and each layer 11a, 11b can exhibit a desired function. That is, since the nonwoven fabric layer 11a contains a water-absorbing polymer, an action of absorbing moisture and expanding is reliably obtained throughout. Further, the synthetic resin layer 11b reliably maintains the connection state of the tube body 14 and protects the internal cables and the like due to its characteristics, that is, high strength, high weather resistance, and the like.

  Moreover, since the synthetic resin layer 11b is formed after shaping | molding the nonwoven fabric 13, each can be reliably formed in a desired shape. For this reason, it is possible to greatly reduce the rate of occurrence of defective products during manufacturing, thereby improving productivity.

  In addition, even when the nonwoven fabric 13 uses the thing of a multilayer structure for the predetermined objective, it can suppress as much as possible that the thickness of each layer can be uneven. That is, in order to prevent the water-absorbing polymer from being affected by the heat of the synthetic resin in the synthetic resin molding step, the nonwoven fabric 13 is shown in FIG. As shown, it is formed in a two-layer structure, and the inner layer 13b opposite to the synthetic resin contains a water-absorbing polymer, and the outer layer 13c located on the synthetic resin side does not contain the water-absorbing polymer. However, even in such a case, the thicknesses of the layers 13b and 13c of the nonwoven fabric 13 can be uniformly formed by separately molding the nonwoven fabric 13 and the synthetic resin. For this reason, the intended purpose of the two-layer structure can be reliably achieved.

  Further, since the molding of the synthetic resin is performed by injection molding, as shown in FIG. 15 (a), on the outer peripheral surface of the pipe joint 11, the ridge protruding to the outer peripheral side over the entire length direction or a part thereof. Even if 11c is formed, it can be formed more beautifully than when it is formed using a parison. The protrusion 11c is intended to positively prevent rotation when the core die 21 is removed, and to enable easy rotation when used. As long as it is formed, the edge is straight. It is preferable to form it cleanly. When molding using a parison, since the parison is cylindrical and is compressed with a mold, it is difficult to positively infiltrate the synthetic resin into the cavity corresponding to the protrusion 11c portion. In the case of injection molding, a necessary amount of synthetic resin can be reliably injected and formed. FIG. 15B is a cross-sectional view showing the core mold 21 and the second movable mold 29, and a cavity 34 is formed in a portion corresponding to the protrusion 11c.

  In the above-described example, the pipe body 14 to which the pipe joint 11 is connected has been described as having the spiral concavo-convex strip 12, but it is not a spiral but a corrugated pipe having a bellows-like or similar concavo-convex strip. Also good. In that case, the concave and convex strips of the pipe joint 11 are also formed in a shape corresponding to the concave and convex strips of the pipe body.

  In addition, the pipe joint 11 is not a joint that connects the same kind of pipes as in the above-described example, but may be a different kind of pipe joint that connects different kinds of pipes, or may be a pipe joint that is not cylindrical.

  16, FIG. 17, and FIG. 18 show a dissimilar pipe joint (pipe joint 11) and a mold for manufacturing the same. In the following description, parts that are the same as or similar to those described above are assigned the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

  That is, the pipe joint 11 includes a first connection part 35 having a spiral unevenness like the above-described pipe joint 11 and a cylindrical second connection part 36 having no unevenness. And it has the nonwoven fabric layer 11a containing a water absorbing polymer in the internal peripheral surface of the said 1st connection part 35. As shown in FIG.

In order to form the second connection part for connecting a body (not shown), a cavity 39 having a shape corresponding to the second connection part 36 is formed with the upper mold 30.

The diameter of the receiving surface portion 30 a of the upper mold 30 is set to a size corresponding to the diameter of the core mold 21 covered with the nonwoven fabric 13. That is, the upper end of the nonwoven fabric 13 is received and pressed by the surface portion 30a.
The nonwoven fabric molding step and the synthetic resin molding step are performed in the same manner as described above.

It consists of That is, the pipe joint carrier 40 has a shape having flange portions 40a, 40a at both ends of the semicircular arc shape, and when connecting the pipe bodies, the pipe joint carrier 40 is connected to the flange 40a from above the abutted pipe bodies. The nonwoven fabric layer 11a containing a water-absorbing polymer is formed on the entire inner peripheral surface.

  Also in manufacture of this pipe joint 11, the core mold 21 is shared by the nonwoven fabric molding process and the synthetic resin molding process.
