Description

  The present invention relates to an injection molding sprue bush and an injection mold apparatus, and more particularly to an injection molding technique for molding a product by injecting a heat-melted resin material into a mold.

  Injection molding is the most suitable plastic molding method for mass production of plastic products while guaranteeing high accuracy, and most of today's plastic products are molded by this injection molding.

  A general structure of an injection mold used for injection molding is shown in FIG. The injection mold a has a divided structure composed of a fixed mold b and a movable mold c that opens and closes with respect to the fixed mold b. Between these molds b and c, a shape dimension corresponding to the product shape is provided. A cavity d is provided. Further, a sprue bush e is integrally attached and fixed to the fixed mold b, and the sprue bush e injects the heat-melted resin material from the injection nozzle f of the injection molding machine into the injection mold a. The injection part is constituted.

  The sprue bush e is formed with a sprue g that is a resin material flow path penetratingly formed at the center thereof, and the sprue g communicates from the gate i to the cavity d via a runner h that is also a resin material flow path. Has been.

  Then, the resin material heated and melted from the injection nozzle f of the injection molding machine is injected and injected into the sprue g of the injection mold a with a high output, and further injected and filled from the gate i into the cavity d through the runner h. Is done. After the resin material filled in the cavity d is cooled and solidified, the mold a is opened by the movement of the movable mold c, and is taken out from the cavity d as a molded product (plastic product).

  By the way, as described above, when the molded product is taken out, the resin material filled in the cavity d is cooled and solidified, and then the injection mold a is opened and taken out. In order to prevent the so-called stringing phenomenon in which the resin material sags in the sprue g when leaving the injection nozzle f, and to prevent the resin material from remaining in the sprue g and the runner h, these sprue g and runner h It is necessary that the resin material in h is sufficiently cooled and solidified.

  However, the sprue g of the sprue bush e has a high temperature because the molten high-temperature resin material first passes through and the resin material at this portion is close to the injection nozzle f, so the sprue bush e is necessarily high in temperature. Therefore, it takes time to cool and solidify the resin material filled in the sprue g, and in some cases, it takes a longer time than the resin material filled in the cavity d to be cooled and solidified.

  In particular, in an injection mold a for injection-molding small plastic products such as electronic parts, the volume of the sprue g and the runner h, especially the sprue g, is larger than the volume of the cavity d for molding these molded articles (plastic products). Therefore, the time required for the resin material in the sprue g to be cooled and solidified is much longer than the time for the resin material filled in the cavity c to be cooled and solidified, which is injection molding. This was a major barrier to shortening the cycle time of one process and improving production efficiency.

  In this regard, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example, a sprue bush e having a water-cooling type cooling mechanism has been developed and proposed.

  In the sprue bush e of this Patent Document 1, as shown in FIG. 21 (b), a cooling water flow path k is provided therein, and by the cooling action of the cooling water flowing through this flow path k, The cooling and solidification of the resin material filled in the sprue g is promoted.

  However, in the arrangement path configuration of the flow path k for cooling water, the cooling effect of the base end portion of the sprue g (the portion within the one-dot chain line in FIGS. 15A and 15B) is insufficient, and further There was room for improvement.

  Further, since the arrangement path configuration of the flow path k is complicated with a three-dimensional structure, there is a problem in that the manufacturing cost of the sprue bushing e itself and the product cost of the sprue bushing e are increased.

  For example, the sprue bushing e of Patent Document 1 is manufactured by the metal stereolithography combined processing method. This processing method can be formed even with the complicated arrangement path configuration as described above, but the processing cost is high. In addition, since the product hardness is low and the wear resistance is inferior, the sprue bush e used under severe conditions such as an injection injection part in injection molding has a problem in its durability.

  Further, as a manufacturing method that enables the formation of the flow path k having a three-dimensional structure, the use of diffusion bonding is also conceivable. In this diffusion bonding, the flow path k needs to be formed and processed. After the sprue bushing e is manufactured with three component parts divided by two divided surfaces dv1 and dv2 indicated by two-dot chain lines in FIG. 21 (b), these component parts are divided into the divided surfaces dv1 and dv2 described above. In addition to the fact that the number of component parts becomes three, and the time required for joining is very long (about 1 day), the processing and manufacturing costs are also high. It was.

One end extends to the position near the base end of the sprue, and the flange flow path communicating with one end of the body flow path is linear from the position near the base end of the sprue to the mounting surface of the mounting flange. Therefore, various effects as listed below can be obtained, and the entire molten resin material filled in the sprue can be efficiently cooled. Together, it is possible to provide a sprue bushing having an inexpensive structure.

(1) One end of the main body flow path constituting the cooling flow path is formed to extend to a position near the base end portion of the sprue, and a flange flow path communicating with one end of the main body flow path is a base end portion of the sprue By opening linearly from the nearby position to the mounting surface of the mounting flange, the connection point between the main body flow path and the flange flow path, that is, the turning point, is close to the joint area of the injection nozzle spout of the injection molding machine. As a result, the flow rate of the cooling fluid in the vicinity of the injection nozzle spout increases, and high cooling efficiency of this portion can be ensured.

  As a result, the resin material at the portion communicating from the injection nozzle sprue to the sprue is quickly cooled and solidified in a short time, and the occurrence of the so-called stringing phenomenon of the resin material at the time of taking out the molded product is effectively prevented. .

The thick part on the tip side of the sprue is efficiently cooled, and the entire molten resin material filled in the sprue can be efficiently cooled by the synergistic effect with the high cooling efficiency of (1).

(4) Further, since the flange flow path is linearly opened from the position near the base end of the sprue to the mounting surface of the mounting flange, in other words, the flange flow path is formed by the sprue bushing. Therefore, it can be formed by drilling from the mounting surface of the mounting flange, and thus, as in the conventional manufacturing method using diffusion bonding. Further, in order to form and process this flange flow path, it is not necessary to have a structure in which the sprue bushing is divided at this portion (the portion corresponding to the dividing surface dv1 in FIG. The number of components can be reduced by one, and the number of component parts can be reduced, thereby realizing a significant reduction in manufacturing cost and consequently product cost.

(5) Combined with the reduction in the number of joints described above, the use of friction welding, which has a very short joining time (about 1 minute) and is low in processing costs, as a joining means for joining parts, further increases manufacturing costs. Product cost can be reduced.

(6) The cooling flow path includes a plurality of the supply-side and discharge-side main body flow paths, the supply-side flange flow path branches, and the plurality of supply-side main bodies at positions near the base end of the sprue. In addition to communicating with one end of each flow path, the discharge-side flange flow path is branched to form a multi-branch structure that communicates with one end of the plurality of discharge-side main body flow paths at a position near the base end of the sprue. As a result, due to the synergistic effect with the high cooling efficiency of (1) above, higher cooling efficiency in the vicinity of the injection nozzle sprue is ensured, and the flow rate of the cooling fluid flowing through the main body flow path is increased, thereby cooling the entire sprue. Efficiency can also be greatly improved.

(7) Since the thick part of the sprue bushing body, for example, the tip part of the sprue bushing body is formed of a high thermal conductivity material (copper, aluminum alloy, diamond, etc.), the cooling effect of this part is improved. Thus, the cooling efficiency equivalent to that of other parts can be ensured, and the entire resin material filled in the sprue can be cooled and solidified efficiently and uniformly.

(8) The inner peripheral surface of the sprue through which the high-temperature molten resin material flows can be obtained by forming the inner peripheral surface of the sprue body in the sprue bushing body with a high-hardness material (superhard metal, quartz, etc.). Sufficient durability can be imparted to a sprue bushing structure with excellent durability.

  The fixed mold 1 constitutes the fixed side of the injection mold 3 and is attached to a fixed-side mounting plate (not shown), and a forming portion Ca of the cavity C is provided on the dividing surface 1a. The sprue bush 5 is detachably fitted and fixed to the central portion of the fixed die 1 and a sprue S is provided. The sprue S is connected to the sprue of the injection nozzle 6 when the injection mold 3 is attached to the injection molding machine. For this purpose, the injection nozzle 6 and the sprue S are centered (centered) at this site. ) Is provided (not shown).

  The movable mold 2 constitutes the movable side of the injection mold 3 and is attached to a movable-side mounting plate (not shown). The cavity C forming portion Cb and the cavity C and the sprue S are formed on the dividing surface 2a. Are connected to the gate G and the runner R. The movable side mounting plate is configured to open and close the movable mold 2 with respect to the fixed mold 1 by being drivingly connected to a mold opening and closing device.

  The sprue bushing 5 constitutes an injection injection part of the injection mold 3. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the sprue bushing 5 has an integral structure including a sprue bushing body 10 and a mounting flange 11. At the same time, a cooling mechanism 12 is provided therein.

  The sprue bushing main body 10 has a cylindrical shape, and a sprue S through which a molten resin material flows is formed through the center thereof. The sprue S has an injection port whose base end Sa is connectable to a gate of the injection nozzle 6 of the injection molding machine, as shown in FIG. 1, in a state where the sprue bush 5 is attached and fixed to the fixed mold 1. At the same time, the tip Sb is a discharge port that can communicate with the cavity C of the injection mold 3.

  The sprue S has a tapered inner peripheral surface whose diameter gradually and continuously increases from the inlet Sa to the outlet Sb, and is filled in the sprue S and cooled and solidified. The resin material P is configured to be smoothly removed. Further, the connection seat surface 13 at the inlet Sa of the sprue S is formed in a spherical shape corresponding to the tip shape of the injection nozzle 6, and a close connection state with the injection nozzle 6 is ensured.

  The attachment flange 11 constitutes an attachment fixing portion when the sprue bushing 5 is attached to the attachment recess 14 of the fixed die 1, and is in the form of a thick disc concentric with the sprue bushing main body 10.

  Specifically, the cooling mechanism 12 is in the form of a cooling flow path through which the cooling fluid CL flows, and is formed to extend over the entire length inside the sprue bushing 5, particularly inside the sprue bushing body 10. The arrangement path configuration cools the surroundings with high efficiency.

  The cooling flow path 12 of the illustrated embodiment includes supply side and discharge side flange flow paths 12 a and 12 e provided in the mounting flange 11, and supply side and discharge side main body flow path 12 b provided in the sprue bushing main body 10. , 12d and the connection flow path 12c.

  First, the supply-side and discharge-side main body channels 12b and 12d provided in the sprue bushing main body 10 are formed along the sprue S so as to extend linearly over almost the entire length of the sprue bushing main body 10, more specifically. Specifically, one end of the sprue S extends to a position near the inlet Sa, and the other end extends to the tip of the sprue S, a position near the discharge port Sb.

  These two main body flow paths 12b and 12d are formed so as to extend linearly in parallel with the axis of the sprue S in the illustrated one, but as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. It may be formed extending in parallel with the taper of the inner peripheral surface.

  The supply side and discharge side flange flow paths 12a and 12e provided in the mounting flange 11 communicate with the supply side and discharge side main body flow paths 12b and 12d, respectively, so that the cooling liquid for the main body flow paths 12b and 12d is provided. A supply path and a discharge path for CL are formed. These supply-side and discharge-side flange channels 12a, 12e are both connected to the supply-side and discharge-side body channels 12b, 12d, that is, from the vicinity of the base end of the sprue S to the mounting surface 11a of the mounting flange 11. It opens in a straight line.

  With this arrangement path configuration, that is, the supply-side flange flow path 12a communicates with one end of the supply-side main body flow path 12b at a position near the base end of the sprue S, and the discharge-side flange flow path 12e is communicated with one end of the discharge-side main body flow path 12d at a position near the base end of the sprue S, and a connection point between these flange flow paths 12a, 12e and the main body flow paths 12b, 12d, that is, a turning point, is an injection molding machine. The junction crossing angle θ between the flow paths 12a and 12b and 12d and 12e is set to an acute angle, so that both the flow paths 12a and 12b and 12d and 12e are in close proximity to the spout junction of the injection nozzle 6. Since the flow passage cross-sectional area of the folded communication portion becomes larger than that in the case of the single flow passage, the flow rate of the cooling fluid CL in the vicinity of the gate of the injection nozzle 6 is substantially increased, and this portion is high. So that 却効 rate is ensured.

Further, since the other ends of the supply side and discharge side main body channels 12b and 12d are formed to extend to the tip end portion of the sprue S, that is, the position near the discharge port Sb, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the connection flow path 12c that connects the ends is formed to extend in an arc shape so as to surround the outer periphery of the sprue S (FIG. 5A). (See (b)).

  With such an arrangement path configuration, that is, the connection flow path 12c is positioned near the outlet Sb of the sprue S, that is, the thick wall of the resin material P filled in the sprue S and cooled and solidified. Since it extends so that the outer periphery of a part may be surrounded, the high cooling efficiency of the thick part of this resin material P is ensured.

  In addition, the connection flow path 12c is formed to extend in a semicircular arc shape so as to surround the outer periphery of the tip end of the sprue S in the illustrated one, but a two-dot chain line in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b). As shown, the sprue S may be formed in an annular shape so as to surround the entire circumference of the tip portion, and the cooling efficiency of this portion is further improved by adopting such an arrangement path configuration.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the sprue bushing 5 including the cooling flow path 12 having such a three-dimensional structure arrangement path configuration is divided at one place on the dividing plane dv indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. Further, it is manufactured from component parts 5A and 5B having a two-part structure.

  That is, if only the cooling flow path 12 is described, first, (i) in the component 5A, the tip surface 15 is drilled in the direction of the arrow by a drilling device such as a drilling machine (drilling process). The two main body flow paths 12b and 12d are formed, and the connection groove 12c ′ for the connection flow path 12c that connects the two main body flow paths 12b and 12d is cut on the distal end surface 15.

  On the other hand, (ii) the mounting surface 11a of the mounting flange 11 is drilled in the direction of the arrow by a drilling device such as a drilling machine (drilling processing) to form two flange channels 12a and 12e, and the main body flow The roads 12b and 12d are communicated.

  Subsequently, (iii) the components 5B are joined to the distal end surface 15 of the components 5A by an appropriate joining means, and the joining groove 12 'is closed in a hole shape to form the connection channel 12c. The parts 5A and 5B are integrally joined, and then the sprue S is drilled to complete the sprue bushing 5. In this case, diffusion bonding or friction welding is suitably employed as the bonding means. In the illustrated embodiment, dissimilar metals can be bonded, the time required for bonding is short (about 1 minute), and the cost is low. Friction welding with the advantage of being used is used.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sprue bush 5 configured as described above is fitted into the mounting recess 14 of the fixed mold 1 of the injection mold 3 and the mounting flange 11 is mounted with a mounting bolt (not shown). ) To fix the sprue bushing 5 to the fixed mold 1. In the mounted state of the sprue bush 5, the discharge port Sb of the sprue S is communicated with the runner R of the injection mold 3 so that the sprue S which is an injection injection portion is connected to the cavity C via the runner R and the gate G. A series of subsequent flow paths of the resin material P are formed.

  Further, the cooling flow path 12 of the sprue bush 5 is connected to a fluid supply path 20a provided in the fixed mold 1 with a supply side flange flow path 12a serving as a supply side end thereof, and a discharge serving as a discharge side end thereof. The side flange flow path 12e is connected in communication with a fluid discharge path 20b provided in the fixed mold 1. As a result, the cooling liquid circulation returns from the cooling fluid supply source (including the cooling liquid tank, the supply pump, and the cooling liquid heat exchanger, etc.) to the cooling fluid supply source again via the cooling channel 12. A path is formed, and the cooling fluid CL is circulated and supplied to the cooling flow path 12 of the sprue bushing 5. As the cooling fluid CL to be circulated, a coolant such as cooling water, cooling oil, cooling air, and dry ice that is suitable for injection molding conditions is selected and used. In the illustrated embodiment, cooling water is used. ing. A liquid-tight seal such as an O-ring is interposed between the joint surfaces of the fixed mold 1 and the sprue bushing 5 so that the cooling fluid CL leaks from between the joint surfaces of the fixed mold 1 and the sprue bushing 5. Is effectively prevented.

  When the injection mold 3 configured as described above is attached to an injection molding machine (not shown), its connection seat surface 13 is closely joined to the injection nozzle 6 of the injection molding machine, and the sprue S inlet Sa is communicated with the gate of the injection nozzle 6.

  The resin material P heated and melted by the injection molding machine is injected and injected into the sprue S from the injection nozzle 6 with a high radiant output, and further injected and filled into the cavity C through the runner R and the gate G. The

  After the resin material P filled in the cavity C is cooled and solidified, the injection mold 3 is opened by the movement of the movable mold 2 and is taken out from the cavity C as a molded product (plastic product).

  In this case, as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 1, the cooling fluid CL is circulated and supplied from the cooling fluid supply source to the cooling flow path 12 of the sprue bushing 5 to fill the sprue S with the molten resin material. The entire P is efficiently cooled.

  Specifically, the cooling fluid CL supplied from a cooling fluid supply source (not shown) to the fluid supply path 20a of the fixed mold 1 passes through the cooling flow path 12 through the supply side flange flow path 12a → the supply side main body flow path 12b → The flow from the connecting flow path 12c → the discharge side main body flow path 12c → the discharge side flange flow path 12b returns to the cooling fluid supply source from the fluid discharge path 20b on the fixed side 1 and is circulated through the same path thereafter. Alternatively, when the cooling fluid CL is a gas, the cooling fluid CL may be continuously supplied in one direction or at a constant timing without being circulated.

  In the flow of the cooling fluid CL in the cooling flow path 12, the connection point where the flange flow paths 12 a and 12 e and the main body flow paths 12 b and 12 d are connected with an acute angle and turned back is the base end of the sprue S, that is, the most. The connection channel 12c, which is in the vicinity of the injection port Sa that becomes high temperature and connects the main body channels 12b and 12d, is the tip of the sprue S, that is, the discharge port Sb of the sprue S (of the resin material P to be filled and solidified). It is set as the arrangement | positioning structure which surrounds the vicinity position outer periphery of the site | part with the largest thickness. As a result, the portion of the resin material P filled in the sprue S that is most difficult to be cooled and solidified is that the piping path is actively and efficiently cooled. As a result, the entire molten resin material P filled in the sprue S Is efficiently cooled.

  Therefore, when the injection mold 3 is opened and the molded product is taken out, the entire molten resin material P filled in the sprue S is cooled efficiently and quickly, and the sprue bush 5 When S moves away from the injection nozzle 6, it is possible to effectively prevent the stringing phenomenon of the resin material P in the sprue S or the resin material P from remaining in the sprue S.

  As described above, in the illustrated embodiment, the cooling flow path 12 through which the cooling fluid CL for cooling the periphery of the sprue S of the sprue bushing 5 is provided is provided in the sprue bushing body 10. The supply side and discharge side main body flow paths 12b and 12d extending along the sprue S and the supply provided in the mounting flange 11 and communicating with the supply side and discharge side main body flow paths 12b and 12d, respectively. Side and discharge side flange flow paths 12a and 12e, one end of the main body flow path 12b extending to a position near the base end of the sprue S, and a flange communicating with one end of the main body flow path 12b Since the flow path 12a extends straight from the position in the vicinity of the base end of the sprue S to the mounting surface 11a of the mounting flange 11, it is opened. The entire molten resin material filled in the over S it is possible to efficiently cool, it is possible to provide a sprue bushing 5 with an inexpensive structure.

  As a result, the resin material P at the portion communicating with the sprue S from the sprue of the injection nozzle 6 is quickly cooled and solidified, and the so-called stringing phenomenon of the resin material P occurs when the molded product is taken out. Effectively prevented.

  Further, when this stringing phenomenon is eliminated, the molding efficiency of the molded product is improved, the non-defective product is easily molded, and injection molding with a high yield can be realized.

  The cooling flow path 12 has a supply-side flange flow path 12a communicating with one end of the supply-side main body flow path 12b at a position near the base end of the sprue S, and the discharge-side flange flow path 12e is connected to the sprue. S is connected to one end of the discharge-side main body flow path 12d near the base end portion of S, and the other end of the supply-side and discharge-side main body flow paths 12b and 12d is connected to the connection flow path 12c. The cooling fluid CL flowing through the connection flow path 12a efficiently cools the thick portion on the tip side of the sprue S, and the entire molten resin material P filled in the sprue S is efficient due to the synergistic effect with the high cooling efficiency described above. Can be cooled.

  Furthermore, since the flange flow paths 12a and 12e extend linearly from the position in the vicinity of the base end portion of the sprue S to the mounting surface 11a of the mounting flange 11, in other words, the flange flow paths 12a, Since 12e is arranged to be inclined at an acute angle with respect to the axis of the sprue bushing 5, it can be formed by drilling from the mounting surface 11a of the mounting flange 11. Unlike the manufacturing method using diffusion bonding, in order to form and process the flange flow paths 12a and 12e, the sprue bushing 5 does not need to be divided at this portion, and is substantially connected (joining number 1). ) Is reduced by one, the number of component parts can be reduced, and a significant reduction in manufacturing cost and thus product cost can be realized.

(5) Combined with the reduction in the number of joints described above, the use of friction welding, which has a very short joining time (about 1 minute) and is low in processing costs, as a joining means for joining parts, further increases manufacturing costs. Product cost can be reduced.

It flows through the side flange flow paths 12e and 12e, returns to the cooling fluid supply source from the fluid discharge path 20b on the fixed side 1, and is circulated through the same path thereafter.
