Description

本発明は、熱可塑性樹脂の射出成形方法及びこれに用いられる金型に関するもので、詳しくは、製品の可視面において、その転写性と光沢性を改善したり、可視面を改質するための熱可塑性樹脂の射出成形方法及びこれに用いられる金型に関する。   TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin injection molding method and a mold used therefor, and more specifically, to improve transferability and glossiness on the visible surface of a product, or to improve the visible surface. The present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin injection molding method and a mold used therefor.

一般的に、熱可塑性樹脂の射出成形は、溶融した樹脂を金型キャビティ内に充填し、金型内で冷却し、成形品を得るものであるが、この射出成形において、金型は樹脂を充填する前に、樹脂の固化温度よりも低い温度に保たれているため、溶融樹脂がキャビティ内に充填された瞬間から、樹脂の固化は進行し、所謂スキン層と称される固化途上の層が表面に形成される。特に溶融樹脂の流動先端は、ファンテンフローにより、成形品の表面に転写されるが、この部分においても、固化は進行し、低い圧力でキャビティ面に押し付けられるため、転写不良や、樹脂の固化が進行したことによる流れムラ、ジェッティング等の成形不良が発生する。このため、従来技術では、樹脂の溶融温度、金型温度等を高く設定し、樹脂の固化を抑制して転写を向上させる方法がとられている。   Generally, injection molding of a thermoplastic resin is one in which a molten resin is filled in a mold cavity and cooled in the mold to obtain a molded product. In this injection molding, the mold is made of resin. Since it is kept at a temperature lower than the solidification temperature of the resin before filling, the solidification of the resin proceeds from the moment when the molten resin is filled into the cavity, and a so-called solidified layer called a skin layer. Is formed on the surface. In particular, the flow front of the molten resin is transferred to the surface of the molded product by phantom flow, but solidification progresses even in this part and it is pressed against the cavity surface with low pressure. This causes molding defects such as flow unevenness and jetting. For this reason, in the prior art, a method is adopted in which the melting temperature of the resin, the mold temperature, and the like are set high to suppress the solidification of the resin and improve the transfer.

しかし、この方法では、成形品への転写性は向上するものの、樹脂の固化収縮不均一によって、成形品にヒケやそりが発生しやすく、制御が困難となる問題が発生する。また、成形サイクルが長くなり、成形品のコストが高くなるといった経済的な問題が発生する。   However, in this method, although transferability to a molded product is improved, there is a problem that sink and warp are likely to occur in the molded product due to non-uniform solidification shrinkage of the resin, which makes control difficult. Moreover, the economical problem that a shaping | molding cycle becomes long and the cost of a molded article becomes high generate | occur | produces.

この問題を解決するため、射出成形工程において、ヒーター、油、加圧熱水または、溶融樹脂自身の熱を利用して、金型キャビティ表面を一時的に加熱する方法が提案されている。しかし、この方法では、転写性は向上するものの、特別な設備が必要であり、また、成形サイクルが長くなり、経済的な問題が発生する。   In order to solve this problem, there has been proposed a method of temporarily heating the mold cavity surface in the injection molding process using the heat of the heater, oil, pressurized hot water, or the molten resin itself. However, in this method, although transferability is improved, special equipment is required, and the molding cycle becomes long, resulting in economic problems.

以上の如き問題点を解消しながら転写性を高める方法として、特開平10−128783号においては、射出成形工程において、予め、樹脂を充填する前に、二酸化炭素等の不活性ガスを金型キャビティ内に注入して樹脂を射出成形する方法が提案されている。しかしながら、この方法では、二酸化炭素ガス等が樹脂内に溶解しながら樹脂が流動するため、その流れは不安定で、流速不均一による流れムラ等の外観不良が生じる。また、加圧されたキャビティ空間内に、樹脂を充填するため、成形品が未充填になりやすく、ガスの排気コントロールが困難である。さらに、使用する金型は、注入した二酸化炭素ガスの圧力を保持する必要があるため、金型全体にシール構造を設置しなければならない。このため二酸化炭素ガスの高い注入圧力に耐えうるための金型構造が必要となり、金型コストが高くなることが問題としてあげられる。   As a method for improving transferability while solving the above problems, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-128783, in an injection molding process, an inert gas such as carbon dioxide is injected into a mold cavity before filling with a resin in advance. There has been proposed a method of injecting resin into an injection mold. However, in this method, since the resin flows while carbon dioxide gas or the like is dissolved in the resin, the flow is unstable, and appearance defects such as flow unevenness due to uneven flow velocity occur. In addition, since the pressurized cavity space is filled with resin, the molded product tends to be unfilled, and it is difficult to control gas exhaust. Furthermore, since the mold to be used needs to maintain the pressure of the injected carbon dioxide gas, a seal structure must be installed in the entire mold. For this reason, a mold structure that can withstand a high injection pressure of carbon dioxide gas is required, and the problem is that the mold cost is increased.

さらに、上記の問題を解決するために、本発明者らは特開2002−52583号において、溶融樹脂を金型に充填した直後に、製品可視面に、成長したスキン層に二酸化炭素ガスを溶解させる成形方法を提案した。この方法では製品形状が単純である場合、金型にシール構造を必要とせず良好な転写性に優れた製品を成形することができる。ただし、複雑形状や深さのある製品を成形すると、転写性が向上しない不良や転写ムラの不具合が発生する。これは、二酸化炭素ガスが金型における部材の組み合わせ部より漏れてしまい、その結果、二酸化炭素ガスが均一にスキン層表面へ接触することが出来ないためと考えられる。その対策として金型内における組合せ部にパッキンなどを設けてシールを行なうが、金型が複雑な構造になり、金型製作におけるコスト低減の障害となっている。   Furthermore, in order to solve the above problem, the present inventors disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-52583 that carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the grown skin layer on the product visible surface immediately after filling the molten resin into the mold. A forming method was proposed. In this method, when the shape of the product is simple, it is possible to mold a product excellent in good transferability without requiring a seal structure in the mold. However, when a product having a complicated shape or depth is formed, a defect in which transferability is not improved or a defect in transfer unevenness occurs. This is considered because carbon dioxide gas leaks from the combination part of the members in the mold, and as a result, the carbon dioxide gas cannot uniformly contact the skin layer surface. As a countermeasure, sealing is provided by providing packing or the like in the combination part in the mold, but the mold has a complicated structure, which is an obstacle to cost reduction in mold manufacture.

本発明の目的は、溶融樹脂を金型に充填した後、製品可視面のスキン層に二酸化炭素等の流体を浸透させて改質を行い、転写性に優れた製品を成形する方法において、複雑な製品形状、深さのある製品形状を成形する場合でも、複雑な構造の金型を用いず転写不良や転写ムラ等の外観不良を低減(改善)することができる射出成形方法と、この方法に用いられる金型を提供することである。   An object of the present invention is to provide a complicated method for molding a product having excellent transferability by filling a mold with a molten resin and then infiltrating a fluid layer such as carbon dioxide into a skin layer on the visible surface of the product. Injection molding method capable of reducing (improving) appearance defects such as transfer failure and transfer unevenness without using a mold having a complicated structure even when forming a product shape with a large depth and depth, and this method It is providing the metal mold | die used for.

Immediately after resin is filled in a mold cavity with a seal structure, a void is formed by injecting fluid such as skin layer modification or dye between the cavity and the skin layer that forms the visible surface, or by retreating the mold Then, the growth of the skin layer is stopped, and then, for example, carbon dioxide or the like for softening the skin layer is injected into the voids, and then the resin pressure is increased to bring the skin layer into close contact with the cavity surface again. By cooling and solidifying while applying pressure, the following effects are obtained.
1. Regardless of the product shape, carbon dioxide or the like can be injected uniformly between the mold cavity and the skin layer forming the visible surface. As a result, it is possible to obtain a product with a good appearance that is free from transfer defects and transfer unevenness regardless of the product shape.
2. Since the pressure of carbon dioxide or the like in the cavity can be set to a desired value by the pressure control means provided with the fluid recovery means, high-quality transfer can be obtained according to the product shape and material.
In the case of a mixed fluid of carbon dioxide and a dyeing agent, the surface of the molded product can be dyed uniformly.
3. Economical injection molding is possible by collecting and reusing carbon dioxide remaining in the mold with the fluid recovery means.

本発明における射出成形方法は、熱可塑性樹脂の射出成形において、金型の接合面にシール機構を設ける。このシール機構は、キャビティの周囲を取り囲むように形成し、このシール機構とキャビティとの間には、流体回収手段及びガス圧制御手段を設ける。流体の注入口は、樹脂の充填口又は可視面側の金型に設ける。流体の注入は、可視面とキャビティ面間に強制的に注入することにより可視面全体に行き渡らせる。または、可動側金型を微量後退させて可視面のスキン層とキャビティ面間に空隙を形成し、この空隙内に流体を注入して、例えば、二酸化炭素を注入すると、スキン層にこの流体が浸透してスキン層が軟化する。その上で、樹脂圧を高めると、スキン層は再度軟化した状態でキャビティ面に密着し、その後、保圧・冷却を経て製品とすることにより、極めて転写性及び光沢性に優れた製品を得ることができる。   In the injection molding method of the present invention, a sealing mechanism is provided on the joint surface of a mold in injection molding of a thermoplastic resin. The seal mechanism is formed so as to surround the periphery of the cavity, and a fluid recovery means and a gas pressure control means are provided between the seal mechanism and the cavity. The fluid injection port is provided in a resin filling port or a mold on the visible surface side. Fluid injection is spread over the entire visible surface by forcing injection between the visible surface and the cavity surface. Alternatively, a small amount of the movable mold is retracted to form a gap between the skin layer on the visible surface and the cavity surface, and a fluid is injected into the gap. For example, when carbon dioxide is injected, the fluid is applied to the skin layer. Penetrates and softens skin layer. In addition, when the resin pressure is increased, the skin layer is again softened and is closely adhered to the cavity surface, and then subjected to pressure holding and cooling to obtain a product with extremely excellent transferability and glossiness. be able to.

また、流体の注入圧力を連続的または断続的に高めながら注入することにより、最終的には高い圧力で流体を注入しても、充填直後のスキン層に悪い影響を及ぼすことはない。あるいは、充填直後の金型キャビティとスキン層との間に、空隙を徐々に成形することができる。なお、この空隙を形成するために、可動側金型又は可視面と対面する固定側金型のキャビティ面を部分的に微小後退させ、これに合わせてキャビティ面と成形品の可視面間に流体を注入しても良いし、後退を止めて、空隙が形成されてから流体を注入しても良い。また金型の接合面にシール機構設けることにより、確実に製品可視面側の金型キャビティと溶融樹脂の隙間に二酸化炭素等を注入することができる。また複雑な形状を有する製品や、深さのある形状の製品でも、転写不良や転写ムラのない良好な成形品を容易に得ることができる。さらにキャビティ内に注入した二酸化炭素等の圧力を流体圧力制御手段によって制御することにより、転写性を自由に変えることができ、目的とした転写性等を有する製品を得ることができる。また製品形状の影響により、部分的に二酸化炭素等が過剰に注入された場合は、流体の過剰分を排出し、圧力を一定に保つことができる。さらに、流体回収手段を可動させて、キャビティ内に残留した二酸化炭素等を回収し、次の成形において再利用することによって、流体の消費量を節約し、成形コストの低減を可能とすることができる。   Further, by injecting while continuously or intermittently increasing the fluid injection pressure, even if the fluid is finally injected at a high pressure, the skin layer immediately after filling will not be adversely affected. Alternatively, the gap can be gradually formed between the mold cavity and the skin layer immediately after filling. In order to form this gap, the cavity surface of the movable side mold or the fixed side mold facing the visible surface is partially retracted slightly, and in accordance with this, the fluid is placed between the cavity surface and the visible surface of the molded product. The fluid may be injected after the recession is stopped and the gap is formed. In addition, by providing a sealing mechanism on the joint surface of the mold, carbon dioxide or the like can be reliably injected into the gap between the mold cavity on the product visible surface side and the molten resin. In addition, even a product having a complicated shape or a product having a deep shape can easily obtain a good molded product free from transfer defects or transfer unevenness. Furthermore, by controlling the pressure of carbon dioxide or the like injected into the cavity by the fluid pressure control means, the transferability can be freely changed, and a product having the intended transferability can be obtained. In addition, when carbon dioxide or the like is partially injected excessively due to the influence of the product shape, the excess fluid can be discharged and the pressure can be kept constant. Further, by moving the fluid recovery means to recover carbon dioxide remaining in the cavity and reusing it in the next molding, it is possible to save fluid consumption and reduce the molding cost. it can.

一般的にガスカウンタープレッシャー法等で使用される金型のシール構造を図3に示す。ガスカウンタープレッシャー法では、溶融樹脂を金型キャビティに充填する前に、金型キャビティ内に窒素や空気あるいは二酸化炭素などの不活性流体を注入し、密封しておく必要があるため、金型を構成するパーツ間の合わせ面すべてに、シール材を設置する必要がある。特に、製品の非可視面側に対応する金型可動側には、一般的にイジェクタピンを多数設置するため、イジェクタピンの本数だけシール材を設置する必要があり、製品の非可視面側に対応する側をシールすることは非常に困難である。
それに対し、本発明では、製品可視面側に対応する側のみにシール構造を設置したときは、非常に安易に、かつ低コストで実施することができる。製品可視面側が反転したとしても、製品可視面側に対応する側のみにシール構造を設置すればよい。但し、本発明において、このシール機構は、基本的には固定側又は可動側金型の何れでも良い。
FIG. 3 shows a mold seal structure generally used in a gas counter pressure method or the like. In the gas counter pressure method, an inert fluid such as nitrogen, air, or carbon dioxide must be injected into the mold cavity and sealed before filling the mold cavity with molten resin. It is necessary to install a sealing material on all mating surfaces between the parts to be constructed. In particular, since many ejector pins are generally installed on the movable mold side corresponding to the non-visible surface side of the product, it is necessary to install as many sealing materials as the number of ejector pins. It is very difficult to seal the corresponding side.
On the other hand, in the present invention, when the seal structure is installed only on the side corresponding to the product visible surface side, it can be implemented very easily and at low cost.

図1に示した流体注入システムは自社製で、射出成形機は、型締め力220tの成形機(日本製鋼所製;J220E2−P−2M)を用いた。樹脂には耐衝撃性ポリスチレン(PSジャパン株式会社;AGI02)を用いた。成形品Aは図2に示した形状(縦148mm、横210mm、深さ15mm、製品肉厚2mm)とした。用いた金型1は、固定側金型2を製品可視面側としているため流体の注入機構は図1に示す様に固定側金型2へ組み込んでいる。また、一方の可動側金型3のイジェクトピン3a等においては、シール構造を施していない。   The fluid injection system shown in FIG. 1 was manufactured in-house, and a molding machine (manufactured by Nippon Steel Works; J220E2-P-2M) with a clamping force of 220 t was used as the injection molding machine. Impact-resistant polystyrene (PS Japan, Inc .; AGI02) was used as the resin. The molded product A had the shape shown in FIG. 2 (vertical 148 mm, horizontal 210 mm, depth 15 mm, product thickness 2 mm). Since the used mold 1 has the fixed mold 2 on the product visible surface side, the fluid injection mechanism is incorporated in the fixed mold 2 as shown in FIG.

図1〜図4を基に本発明の射出成形方法及び金型を用い、流体には二酸化炭素を用いた射出成形方法を説明する。先ず、図1に示す様に固定側金型2と可動側金型3の各金型を型締めする。次に、射出成形機8より成形機ヒーター温度230℃で溶融させた樹脂を、射出圧力60MPa、充填時間0.6sec、40℃に設定した金型キャビティ4内(材質S45C、入れ子型、製品可視面側のキャビティ表面は2000番手の鏡面仕上げ)に充填する。溶融樹脂を充填直後、図3に示す様に、流体注入ユニット11から、配管10を介して、20MPaに設定した二酸化炭素をスキン面とこれに接するキャビティとの間に注入する。製品可視面側全体に二酸化炭素が注入されると配管10の弁10aを閉じ、高転写が得られる適切な圧力に調整するため、金型内に設置された電磁式駆動の圧力制御用可動金型パーツ(ガス体回収手段14)を動作させ、キャビティとスキン層の間に注入された二酸化炭素の圧力を14MPaになるようにし、均一に制御する。所望の圧力に調整した後、圧力制御用可動金型パーツを動作させて元に戻した後、樹脂圧を90MPaに高め、二酸化炭素をスキン面に溶解させてこのスキン面を軟化させながら保圧をかけて再度スキン面をキャビティ面に7秒間密着させて成形を行った。なお、圧力制御用可動金型パーツの動作により、キャビティとスキン層の間に注入された過剰な量の二酸化炭素は、図4において圧力制御用の排出回路15aを介し、流体排出用配管15を通り、高圧流体発生装置12に戻し、次工程において注入する二酸化炭素として利用した。
この方法によって得られた成形品は、転写不良や転写ムラがなく良好な外観であった。この成形品の表面光沢を(HORIBA.Ltd製GLOSS CHECKER;IG−310)を用いて測定した。その結果、成形品可視面側の光沢度は90であった。
An injection molding method and a mold according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 1, the molds of the fixed mold 2 and the movable mold 3 are clamped. Next, the resin melted from the injection molding machine 8 at a molding machine heater temperature of 230 ° C. is placed in the mold cavity 4 set to an injection pressure of 60 MPa, a filling time of 0.6 sec, and 40 ° C. (material S45C, nested mold, product visible). The surface side cavity surface is filled in a 2000th mirror finish. Immediately after filling with the molten resin, as shown in FIG. 3, carbon dioxide set at 20 MPa is injected from the fluid injection unit 11 between the skin surface and the cavity in contact with the skin surface via the pipe 10. When carbon dioxide is injected into the entire product visible surface side, the valve 10a of the pipe 10 is closed, and an electromagnetically driven pressure control movable mold installed in the mold is used to adjust the pressure to an appropriate pressure that can provide high transfer. The mold part (gas body recovery means 14) is operated so that the pressure of carbon dioxide injected between the cavity and the skin layer is 14 MPa, and is controlled uniformly. After adjusting to the desired pressure, the movable mold part for pressure control is operated and returned to its original state, the resin pressure is increased to 90 MPa, carbon dioxide is dissolved in the skin surface, and the skin surface is softened while holding the pressure. Then, the skin surface was again brought into close contact with the cavity surface for 7 seconds to perform molding. The excessive amount of carbon dioxide injected between the cavity and the skin layer by the operation of the movable mold part for pressure control is transferred to the fluid discharge pipe 15 via the pressure control discharge circuit 15a in FIG. It returned to the high pressure fluid generator 12, and it utilized as the carbon dioxide injected in the next process.
The molded product obtained by this method had a good appearance with no defective transfer or uneven transfer. The surface gloss of this molded product was measured using (GLOSS CHECKER; IG-310 manufactured by HORIBA. Ltd). As a result, the glossiness on the visible side of the molded product was 90.

本実施例2は、樹脂の充填時にキャビティ4内から排出される空気が、シール機構5により阻害されて、キャビティ4内の圧力及び充填樹脂圧が規定以上に高まるのを防ぐために、固定側金型2に、図5に示すように、空気溜り16を形成し、キャビティ4内から排出された空気を、この空気溜り16内に一旦収容するようにして、上記したキャビティ4内からの空気の排出を可能にし、併せて樹脂圧の高まりを防ぐよう構成した例である。
なお、上記実施例1、2は、二酸化炭素を利用して転写性と光沢性を向上する例であるが、成形品の可視面の改質等のために各種流体を利用するときの運転例は、上記した二酸化炭素注入方式と同一工程を経て成形が行われる。
In the second embodiment, in order to prevent the air discharged from the cavity 4 during resin filling from being hindered by the seal mechanism 5 and the pressure in the cavity 4 and the filling resin pressure from being increased more than prescribed, As shown in FIG. 5, an air reservoir 16 is formed in the mold 2, and the air discharged from the cavity 4 is temporarily accommodated in the air reservoir 16, so that the air from the cavity 4 described above is stored. In this example, the discharge can be performed and the increase in the resin pressure is prevented.
In addition, although the said Example 1, 2 is an example which improves transferability and glossiness using a carbon dioxide, the operation example when utilizing various fluids for the modification | reformation etc. of the visible surface of a molded article Is performed through the same process as the carbon dioxide injection method described above.

〔比較例1〕
実施例1の金型において、シール機構5及び流体回収手段14を設けない以外は、図1に示した装置と同一のものを用いて同一条件により成形を行った。この結果、金型接合面1aから二酸化炭素の漏洩があるため、注入した二酸化炭素の圧力がなかなか高まらないために、二酸化炭素のスキン面への浸透が進まず、製品において、転写性及び光沢性は、二酸化炭素不注入時よりは多少向上していたが、実施例1に比較しては劣っており、光沢度は70であった。
[Comparative Example 1]
The mold of Example 1 was molded under the same conditions using the same apparatus as that shown in FIG. 1 except that the seal mechanism 5 and the fluid recovery means 14 were not provided. As a result, since carbon dioxide leaks from the mold joint surface 1a, the pressure of the injected carbon dioxide does not readily increase, so that the penetration of carbon dioxide into the skin surface does not proceed, and the product has transferability and glossiness. Was slightly better than when carbon dioxide was not injected, but was inferior to that of Example 1, and the glossiness was 70.

本実施例3は、図6に示すように、可動側金型3にシール機構5を設けた例と、図7に示すように、固定側金型2にシール機構5を設けた例である。このように、シール機構5は何れでもよいが、可動しない固定側金型2に設ける方が望ましい。   The third embodiment is an example in which the seal mechanism 5 is provided in the movable mold 3 as shown in FIG. 6 and the example in which the seal mechanism 5 is provided in the fixed mold 2 as shown in FIG. . As described above, any seal mechanism 5 may be used, but it is preferable that the seal mechanism 5 is provided on the stationary mold 2 that is not movable.
