Description

  The present invention relates to a lens barrel made of a glass fiber reinforced resin composition with improved dimensional accuracy. More specifically, it holds optical elements such as lenses, prisms, and mirrors that have a polycarbonate resin reinforced with flat cross-section glass fibers as a base and have excellent mechanical strength, low anisotropy, fluidity, and even better appearance. The present invention relates to a lens barrel made of a glass fiber reinforced resin composition incorporated in an optical system.

  Thermoplastic resins reinforced with glass fibers are widely used because of their excellent mechanical strength and processability. In particular, polycarbonate resins are used in many applications such as mechanical parts, automobile parts, electrical / electronic parts, and office equipment parts because of their excellent properties such as mechanical strength, dimensional stability and flame retardancy.

  Conventionally, as a resin composition for a lens barrel, a resin composition in which glass fibers are blended with a polycarbonate resin has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). However, although this composition is excellent in mechanical strength and rigidity, it has a defect that anisotropy of molding shrinkage ratio is caused by fiber orientation. In recent years, when used for molded parts such as precision machine parts such as camera parts and office equipment parts, a glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin having good mechanical strength, low anisotropy and good fluidity is required. The composition cannot satisfy the above characteristics.

  A polycarbonate resin composition having an improved warping property composed of an aromatic polycarbonate resin, a specific non-circular fiber, and a plate-like filler is known (see Patent Document 2). However, in such a resin composition, fluidity and appearance are insufficient.

  A resin composition comprising a polycarbonate resin, a styrene resin, and a glass fiber having a cross-sectional shape is known (see Patent Document 3). Moreover, the resin composition which consists of a resin composition which consists of a polyamide resin, an eyebrows-shaped cross-section glass fiber, and a brominated flame retardant is well-known (refer patent document 4).

  However, this publication has characteristics required for a lens barrel in a camera, a lens barrel in a liquid crystal projector, and a lens barrel in a projection television, that is, good mechanical strength, appearance, fluidity, and low anisotropy. It did not disclose effective knowledge for a satisfactory polycarbonate resin composition.

The present inventor has intensively studied to achieve the above object, and as a result, has found that such an object can be achieved by using glass fibers having a specific cross-sectional shape.

If the ratio of diameters is less than 2, the effect of improving the mechanical strength is small, and if the ratio of fiber length to average fiber diameter exceeds 120, the anisotropy increases and the appearance of the molded product also deteriorates. The average fiber diameter of such flat cross-section glass fibers refers to the number average fiber diameter when the flat cross-sectional shape is converted to a true circle of the same area. The average fiber length refers to the number average fiber length in the glass fiber reinforced resin composition used in the present invention. The number-average fiber length is a value calculated by an image analyzer from an image obtained by observing the residue of the filler collected by processing such as high-temperature ashing of a molded product, dissolution with a solvent, and decomposition with a chemical, using an optical microscope. It is. Further, when calculating such a value, the fiber diameter is used as a guide and the length is less than that.

Such a glass filler may contain components such as TiO ₂ , SO ₃ , and P ₂ O ₅ as necessary. Among these, E glass (non-alkali glass) is more preferable. Such flat cross-section glass fibers are preferably subjected to a surface treatment with a known surface treatment agent such as a silane coupling agent, a titanate coupling agent, or an aluminate coupling agent from the viewpoint of improving mechanical strength. In addition, those that have been subjected to bundling treatment with olefin resin, styrene resin, acrylic resin, polyester resin, epoxy resin, urethane resin, etc. are preferable. From the viewpoint of mechanical strength, epoxy resin and urethane resin are preferred. Particularly preferred. The amount of the sizing agent attached to the flat cross-section glass fibers subjected to the bundling treatment is preferably 0.1 to 3 wt%, more preferably 0.2 to 1 wt%, in 100 wt% of the flat cross-section glass fibers.

  Content of B-1 component is 1-150 weight part with respect to 100 weight part of A component, 3-100 weight part is more preferable, and 5-70 weight part is further more preferable. If the B-1 component is less than 1 part by weight, the mechanical strength is insufficient, and if it exceeds 150 parts by weight, the molding fluidity and the appearance of the molded product are particularly deteriorated, which is not suitable for a lens barrel application.

(B-2 component: plate-like filler)
Examples of the plate-like inorganic filler (B-2 component) used in the present invention include mica, talc, clay, graphite, glass flake, and smectite minerals such as montmorillonite. Such plate-like inorganic fillers include those coated with metal or metal oxide. The B-2 component of the present invention is preferably at least one plate-like inorganic filler selected from mica, talc, and glass flakes, and glass flakes are particularly preferable. The glass flake used as the B-2 component of the present invention is a plate-like glass filler produced by a method such as a cylindrical blow method or a sol-gel method. Various kinds of glass flake raw materials can be selected depending on the degree of pulverization and classification. The average particle size of the glass flakes used for the raw material is preferably 10 to 1000 μm, more preferably 20 to 500 μm, and still more preferably 30 to 300 μm. This is because the above range is excellent in both handleability and moldability. Usually, a plate-like glass filler is cracked by melt-kneading with a resin, and its average particle size is reduced. The number average particle size of the glass flakes in the resin composition is preferably 10 to 200 μm, more preferably 15 to 100 μm, and still more preferably 20 to 80 μm. The number average particle size is calculated by an image analyzer from an image obtained by observing the residue of the sheet glass filler collected by high temperature ashing of the molded product, dissolution with a solvent, decomposition with chemicals, etc. with an optical microscope. Is the value to be Further, when calculating such a value, the flake thickness is used as a guide and the length of the flake is not counted. Moreover, as thickness, 0.5-10 micrometers is preferable, 1-8 micrometers is more preferable, 1.5-6 micrometers is still more preferable. The glass flakes having the above number average particle diameter and thickness achieve good strength and rigidity.

  The mica used as the B-2 component of the present invention is preferably in the form of a powder having an average particle size of 10 to 700 μm from the viewpoint of securing rigidity. Mica is a pulverized product of silicate mineral containing aluminum, potassium, magnesium, sodium, iron and the like. Mica includes muscovite, phlogopite, biotite, and artificial mica. Any mica can be used in the present invention, but muscovite is more rigid than phlogopite or biotite. Yes, muscovite is preferable in terms of rigidity. In addition, since phlogopite and biotite contain a larger amount of Fe in the main component than muscovite, their own hue becomes blackish, and muscovite is also suitable for various coloring. In addition, muscovite is advantageous in that artificial mica (natural phlogopite with OH group substituted by F) is expensive. Accordingly, muscovite is preferred in the present invention from various points of view.

  In addition, as a pulverization method in the production of mica, a dry pulverization method of pulverizing raw mica ore with a dry pulverizer, and coarsely pulverizing mica ore with a dry pulverizer, followed by adding a grinding aid such as water to a slurry state There is a wet pulverization method in which the main pulverization is performed with a wet pulverizer, followed by dehydration and drying.

  The lower limit of the average particle size of mica is preferably 10 μm or more as measured by the microtrack laser diffraction method, while the upper limit is 700 μm or less as the average particle size measured by the vibration screening method. preferable. It is preferable that the microtrack laser diffraction method is performed by using a vibration sieving method with a 325 mesh pass for 95% by weight or more of mica. For mica having a larger particle size, the vibration sieving method is generally used. In the vibration sieving method of the present invention, first, sieving is carried out for 10 minutes using a JIS standard standard sieve in which 100 g of mica powder to be used is stacked in the order of openings using a vibration sieve device. In this method, the particle size distribution is obtained by measuring the weight of the powder remaining on each sieve. The weight average particle diameter measured by the vibration sieving method is preferably in the range of 50 to 700 μm, and more preferably in the range of 50 to 400 μm because the impact strength is excellent. Such an effect of the particle size is particularly preferably exhibited in mica obtained using muscovite as a raw material. Those exceeding 700 μm are rare, and molding defects such as gate clogging during molding tend to occur, which is not preferable. On the other hand, pulverization of less than 10 μm is not economical because it requires an extremely large number of man-hours.

  As the thickness of mica, one having a thickness measured by observation with an electron microscope of 0.01 to 10 μm can be used. Further, such mica may be surface-treated with a silane coupling agent or the like, or may be granulated with a sizing agent such as various resins such as urethane resins or higher fatty acid esters.

As other minor components, Fe ₂ O ₃ is 0.03 to 1.2% by weight, Al ₂ O ₃ is 0.05 to 1.5% by weight, CaO is 0.05 to 1.2% by weight, K ₂ O. Is 0.2 wt% or less, Na ₂ O is 0.2 wt% or less, and the specific gravity is about 2.7. The particle size of talc shown here is the particle size at a 50% stacking rate determined from the particle size distribution measured by the Andreazen pipette method measured according to JIS M8016. The particle diameter is preferably 0.3 to 15 μm, more preferably 0.5 to 10 μm. In addition, there is no particular limitation on the production method when pulverizing such talc from raw stone, and axial flow mill method, annular mill method, roll mill method, ball mill method, jet mill method, container rotary compression shearing mill method, etc. Can be used. Furthermore, the talc after pulverization is preferably classified by various classifiers and has a uniform particle size distribution. There are no particular restrictions on the classifier, impactor type inertial force classifier (variable impactor, etc.), Coanda effect type inertial force classifier (elbow jet, etc.), centrifugal field classifier (multistage cyclone, microplex, dispersion separator) , Accucut, Turbo Classifier, Turboplex, Micron Separator, and Super Separator).

  Further, such talc is preferably in an agglomerated state in terms of its handleability and the like, and as such a production method, there are a method by deaeration compression, a method of compression using a sizing agent, and the like. In particular, the method by deaeration and compression is preferred because it is simple and does not include unnecessary sizing agent resin components in the composition of the present invention.

  The graphite used as the B-2 component of the present invention is scaly graphite. A resin composition containing such flaky graphite has good electrical conductivity, good mechanical strength, and low anisotropy.

  The particle size of the graphite of the present invention is in the range of 5 to 300 μm. The particle size is preferably 5 to 70 μm, more preferably 7 to 40 μm, and still more preferably 7 to 35 μm. By satisfying such a range, good flame retardancy is achieved. On the other hand, if the average particle size is less than 5 μm, the effect of improving the dimensional accuracy tends to be lowered, and if the average particle size exceeds 300 μm, the impact resistance is slightly lowered and so-called graphite floats on the surface of the molded product. It is not preferable. This is because the float on the surface may cause graphite to fall off the surface of the molded product and cause electrical damage to the electronic component. In addition, the above preferable average particle diameter has an advantage that the appearance of the molded product is improved and good slidability is easily obtained.

  The fixed carbon content of the graphite of the present invention is preferably 80% by weight or more, more preferably 90% by weight or more, and still more preferably 98% by weight or more. The volatile content of the graphite of the present invention is preferably 3% by weight or less, more preferably 1.5% by weight or less, and still more preferably 1% by weight or less.

The average particle diameter of graphite in the present invention refers to the particle diameter of the B-2 component itself before the composition, and the particle diameter is determined by a laser diffraction method.
Further, the surface of graphite is subjected to surface treatment such as epoxy treatment, urethane treatment, silane coupling treatment, and oxidation treatment in order to increase the affinity with the thermoplastic resin as long as the characteristics of the composition of the present invention are not impaired. It may be given.
