As a problem at the time of injection molding of transparent resin molded products,
A. B. Bubble mixing C. Generation of a weld line (water bath) when resins injected from a plurality of gates (injection holes) are adjacent to each other in the mold. The occurrence of sink marks (dents) due to the volume being reduced when the resin material is cured can be mentioned.

  The methods for producing transparent resin molded articles in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are methods for molding a molded article having a comparatively thin and small size with a thickness of the molded article of about 1 mm or less to about 8 mm. Since problems are unlikely to occur, they are unlikely to become major problems. However, in the case of a thick and large transparent resin molded product having a thickness of about 20 mm, such as an aircraft canopy, the above problems A to C become significant.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 16, when the resin material R is injected from the gate 101 into the mold 102, it is injected because the thickness dimension Y of the mold 102 is larger than the diameter dimension X of the gate 101. The resin material R is extruded linearly into the mold, falls and accumulates as it is, and a large amount of air bubbles are mixed therein.

  In addition, when an aircraft canopy is molded with resin, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 17, the mold 102 is kept in a horizontal position and a gate 101 is formed on the uppermost part thereof, or as shown in FIG. Gates 101 are formed at both front and rear ends of the mold 102, and a resin material R is injected. However, when the resin material R is injected into the mold 102 from such a position, the resin material R injected from the gate 101 does not adhere to the inner wall of the mold 102 because the internal space of the mold 102 is wide. As shown in FIG. 16, it is pushed out linearly and piles up, and a large amount of bubbles are mixed.

  Furthermore, since it is difficult in terms of capacity to inject the resin material R from only a single gate into the canopy mold 102 having a total length of 3 m or more, as shown in FIG. The resin material R is injected by providing a gate. However, when the resin material R is injected from such a multi-point gate 101, a so-called boundary surface (water bath) where the resin materials R injected from the gates 101 are in contact with each other inside the mold 102 remains visually. A weld line W is generated. Since this weld line W is accompanied by optical distortion, it becomes a serious defect in an aircraft canopy.

  In general, since the volume of the resin material is reduced when it is cured, a so-called sink defect in which the surface of the resin molded product is recessed is likely to occur. This becomes remarkable in a thick molded product. Sink marks cause optical distortion in transparent molded products. In the case of an aircraft canopy, it is necessary to remove the sink marks by polishing the front and back of the molded product, which increases the manufacturing cost of the molded product. It is a cause.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and prevents the occurrence of defects such as bubbles, weld lines, sink marks, etc., and improves the yield of transparent resin molded products, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. An object of the present invention is to provide an injection molding apparatus and injection molding method for a transparent resin molded product.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following means.

  That is, an injection molding apparatus for a transparent resin molded product according to a first reference example of the present invention is provided on a molding die for injection molding a transparent resin molded product, and a peripheral portion of the molding die, A gate serving as an inlet for injecting a resin material therein, and in the case where the thickness dimension of the mold is in the range of 15 to 25 mm, the diameter dimension of the gate and the thickness dimension of the mold The ratio is set within the range of 1: 6 to 1: 3.

  The transparent resin molded product injection molding method according to the first reference example of the present invention includes a molding die for injection molding a transparent resin molded product, and a peripheral portion of the molding die. An injection molding method using a gate serving as an inlet for injecting a resin material therein, wherein the mold has a thickness dimension of 15 to 25 mm, and the diameter dimension of the gate and the thickness of the mold Injection molding is performed by setting the ratio to the dimension within the range of 1: 6 to 1: 3.

  According to the above injection molding apparatus and injection molding method, the ratio of the diameter dimension of the gate and the thickness dimension of the mold is optimized, so that the resin material injected from the gate into the mold is inside the mold. Thus, the injected resin material flows in a fountain flow through the inside of the mold. For this reason, bubbles are not mixed into the resin material, and defects due to the mixing of bubbles can be prevented to improve the yield of molded products, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  An injection molding apparatus for a transparent resin molded product according to a second reference example of the present invention injects a resin material into a molding die for injection molding a concave transparent resin molded product, and the molding die. A gate serving as an inlet, wherein the gate is provided at a peripheral portion of the mold, the mold has an angle of an open surface of the concave shape, and the gate is a lower portion of the mold. The resin material is injected upward from the lower part inside the molding die by the gate.

  Moreover, the injection molding method of the transparent resin molded product according to the second reference example of the present invention includes a molding die for injection molding a concave transparent resin molded product, and a resin material is injected into the molding die. An injection molding method using a gate as an entrance, wherein the molding die is maintained in a posture in which a concave open surface thereof is substantially vertical, and the gate is provided at a lower portion of a peripheral edge portion of the open surface, A resin material is injected upward from the lower part of the inside of the mold by the gate.

  According to the above injection molding apparatus and injection molding method, the resin material is injected into the mold from the gate located at the lower part of the mold, and the resin material is filled upward in the mold. For this reason, the resin material injected from the gate into the mold is not pushed out linearly and falls to the bottom of the mold so that it does not pile up. Occurrence can be prevented.

  In the injection molding apparatus configured as described above, a resin material pool having an inner width larger than the thickness dimension of the molding die is juxtaposed along at least the lower edge of the open surface of the molding die, and the resin material The pool and the lower edge of the mold may be continuously communicated along the longitudinal direction, and the gate may be provided at a plurality of locations along the longitudinal direction of the resin material pool.

  Similarly, in the injection molding method having the above-described configuration, a resin material pool having an inner width larger than the thickness dimension of the molding die is juxtaposed along at least the lower edge of the open surface of the molding die, The resin material pool and the lower edge of the mold are continuously communicated along the longitudinal direction, and the gates are provided at a plurality of locations along the longitudinal direction of the resin material pool. The resin material injected from the gate to the inside of the resin material pool may be flown and mixed in the resin material pool and then filled in the mold.

  According to the above injection molding apparatus and injection molding method, a resin material pool having an inner width larger than the thickness dimension of the mold is formed in the lower part of the mold, and a plurality of gates are provided in the resin material pool. Resin material is injected. The resin materials injected into the resin material pool from the plurality of gates are mixed with each other by first flowing through the resin material pool. Then, the mixed resin material is widely injected from the resin material pool along the lower edge of the mold. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of defects such that the resin material injected from a plurality of gates (multi-point gates) forms a boundary surface (weld line) inside the mold.

  Furthermore, in the above injection molding apparatus and injection molding method, the passage width of the connection passage connecting the lower edge of the open surface of the mold and the inside of the resin material pool is set to the concave shape of the mold. It is preferable to increase the length of the cross-sectional arch.

  According to the above injection molding apparatus and injection molding method, when resin is injected from the resin material pool into the mold, a large amount of resin material is injected at a position where the concave cross-sectional arch length of the mold is long, Less resin material is injected at positions where the cross-sectional arch length is short. As a result, the speed at which the resin material is filled from one end of the concave shape to the other end becomes uniform over the entire area of the mold. For this reason, generation | occurrence | production of the defect of the production | generation of the boundary surface (weld line) resulting from a difference generate | occur | producing in the arrival speed of the resin material inside a shaping | molding die can be prevented.

  The transparent resin molded product injection molding apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a molding die for injection molding a concave transparent resin molded product, and the molding die includes: An outer part molding die for injection-molding an outer part from the intermediate portion in the thickness direction of the transparent resin molded product to the outer surface between the first outer mold and the first inner mold; a second outer mold; An inner part molding die for injection-molding an inner part from the intermediate portion of the transparent resin molded product to the inner surface between the inner mold and the inner mold, and the first outer mold and the second inner mold The first outer mold from which the first inner mold is removed after injection molding of the outer partial mold, and the second outer mold after injection molding of the inner partial mold. Resin material between the outer part and the inner part in a state in which the second inner mold is removed from the mold. Wherein the injection space can emit a is formed.

  Similarly, the transparent resin molded product injection molding method according to the first aspect of the present invention is a method for injection molding a concave transparent resin molded product, and is an intermediate portion in the plate thickness direction of the transparent resin molded product. A primary injection step of injection-molding the outer portion from the outer surface to the outer surface between the first outer mold and the first inner mold; and the first outer mold is left after the outer portion is injection-molded, A first curing step of removing the inner mold of 1 and inducing sink marks on the inner peripheral surface of the outer portion; and an inner portion from the intermediate portion in the plate thickness direction to the inner surface of the transparent resin molded product. Secondary injection step of injection molding between the second inner mold and the second inner mold; after the injection molding of the inner part, the second outer mold is removed leaving the second inner mold, and the outer periphery of the inner part A secondary curing step that induces sink marks on the surface, the first outer mold after the primary curing step, and the second And a third injection step of injecting a resin material into an injection space formed between the outer portion and the inner portion by matching the second inner die after the curing step. And

  According to the above-described injection molding apparatus and injection molding method, the outer side from the intermediate portion in the plate thickness direction of the concave transparent resin molded product to the outer surface is formed by the first outer mold and the first inner mold of the outer partial molding die. The part is injection molded (primary injection process). Further, the inner part from the intermediate part in the plate thickness direction to the inner surface of the concave transparent resin molded product is injection-molded by the second outer mold and the second inner mold of the inner part molding die (secondary injection step). ).

  Then, by removing the first inner mold after molding the outer portion, sinking is induced on the inner peripheral surface of the outer portion (primary curing step), and by removing the second outer mold after molding the inner portion, Sinking is induced on the outer peripheral surface of the part (secondary curing step). Thereafter, the first outer mold in which the outer portion is molded and the second inner mold in which the inner portion is molded are matched, and a resin material is injected between the outer portion and the inner portion (injection space) (third order). Injection process).

  Thus, after inducing sink marks on the inner peripheral surface of the outer portion and the outer peripheral surface of the inner portion, by injecting a resin material between these two surfaces, the front and back surfaces of the concave transparent resin molded product are Defects that cause sink marks can be reliably prevented.

  As described above, according to the injection molding apparatus and the injection molding method of the transparent resin molded product according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of defects such as bubbles, weld lines, sink marks, etc., and to improve the yield of the transparent resin molded product.

  Hereinafter, a plurality of embodiments of an injection molding apparatus and an injection molding method for a transparent resin molded product according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an aircraft canopy showing an example of a transparent resin molded product. The canopy 1 is a large resin molded product that extends long along the front-rear direction and has a concave shape (a bowl shape) that protrudes upward, and has an overall length of, for example, 3 m or more. The canopy 1 is injection-molded integrally with a transparent resin material on acrylic, polycarbonate or the like, and its thickness is set in the range of 15 to 25 mm.

[First embodiment]
2 is a side view of the injection molding apparatus 2A (molding die 3) of the canopy 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view taken along the line III-III in FIG. These drawings conceptually show only the internal space of the mold 3. The molding die 3 is maintained in a sideways posture in which the concave open surface 4 (see FIG. 3) is substantially vertical.

  The injection molding apparatus 2A includes a molding die 3 and a gate 5 serving as an inlet for injecting a resin material into the molding die 3. For example, one gate 5 is provided at the uppermost portion of the peripheral edge of the mold 3. The resin material injected from the gate 5 is filled in the mold 3 and cured to form the canopy 1.

  FIG. 4 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a connection portion between the mold 3 and the gate 5 by enlarging the IV portion of FIG. 3. As described above, the thickness dimension Ta of the mold 3 is set in the range of 15 to 25 mm. On the other hand, the diameter D of the gate 5 is preferably set so that the ratio with the thickness dimension Ta is in the range of 1: 6 to 1: 3. For example, when the thickness dimension Ta is 20 mm, the diameter dimension D is preferably in the range of 3.3 mm to 6.7 mm.

  In the experiments by the inventors, when the ratio of the diameter dimension D of the gate 5 to the thickness dimension Ta of the mold 3 is 1: 3, the ratio of D and Ta is optimized and the best injection molding can be performed. Was confirmed. That is, the resin material injected from the gate 5 into the molding die 3 is not extruded linearly as shown in FIG. 16 and falls to the bottom of the molding die 3 and does not accumulate. The inside of the mold 3 flows in the form of a fountain flow, and bubbles are not mixed in the resin material. However, if D is larger than 1: 3 with respect to Ta, the fluidity of the resin material is lowered, and there is a possibility that a defective filling of the resin material into the mold 3 may occur.

  As described above, according to the injection molding apparatus 2A and the injection molding method, the ratio between the diameter dimension D of the gate 5 and the thickness dimension Ta of the mold 3 is set within a range of 1: 6 to 1: 3. Thus, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of defects due to the mixing of bubbles, improve the yield of the canopy 1 as a molded product, and reduce the manufacturing cost.

[Second embodiment]
FIG. 5 is a side view of an injection molding apparatus 2B (molding die 3) showing a second reference embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view taken along line VI-VI in FIG. Also in this injection molding apparatus 2B, the molding die 3 is maintained in a sideways posture in which the concave open surface 4 (see FIG. 6) is substantially vertical.

  One gate 5 for injecting a resin material into the mold 3 is provided at the lowermost part of the peripheral edge of the mold 3. By this gate 5, the resin material R is injected upward from the lowermost part inside the mold 3.

  According to this injection molding apparatus 2B, the resin material R is injected into the inside of the molding die 3 from the gate 5 located at the lowermost part of the molding die 3, and the resin material R is directed upward from the lowermost part to the upper side of the molding die 3. Will be filled. For this reason, the resin material R injected from the gate 5 into the mold 3 is extruded linearly as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 and dropped as it is, and is piled up on the bottom of the mold 3. There is no such thing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent defects in which bubbles are mixed into the molded product.

  Note that the open surface 4 of the mold 3 does not necessarily have to be strictly vertical, and the gate 5 is positioned at the lowermost part of the mold 3, and the resin material R injected therefrom hangs down inside the mold 3. Instead, any angle may be used as long as the inside of the mold 3 is sequentially filled from below.

[Third Reference Embodiment]
FIG. 7 is a plan view of an injection molding apparatus 2C (molding die 3) showing a third reference embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 8 is a side view taken along arrow VIII in FIG. 7, and FIG. It is a longitudinal section along line IX. Also in this injection molding apparatus 2C, the molding die 3 is maintained in a sideways posture in which the concave open surface 4 (see FIG. 9) is substantially vertical. The gate 5 may be at an angle at which the gate 5 is positioned at the lowermost portion of the mold 3.

  In this injection molding apparatus 2C, resin material pools 7 and 8 are juxtaposed along the upper and lower edges of the mold 3. These resin material pools 7 and 8 have inner widths Tb and Tc larger than the thickness dimension Ta of the mold 3 as shown in FIG. In addition, although each resin material pool 7 and 8 is curving according to the outer periphery shape of the shaping | molding die 3, you may form in linear form.

  The upper and lower resin material pools 7 and 8 and the upper and lower edges of the mold 3 are connected by connection passages 9 and 10, respectively. As shown in FIG. 9, the sizes of the passage widths Td and Te of the connection passages 9 and 10 are smaller than the inner widths Tb and Tc of the resin material pools 7 and 8. The ratio between the passage widths Td and Te of the connection passages 9 and 10 and the thickness dimension Ta of the mold 3 is the diameter dimension D of the gate 5 and the thickness of the mold 3 in the injection molding apparatus 2A of the first reference embodiment. It is preferable to set within the range of 1: 6 to 1: 3 as the ratio with the dimension Ta. For example, when the thickness dimension Ta of the mold 3 is 20 mm, the diameter dimension D of the passage widths Td and Te is set in the range of 3.3 mm to 6.7 mm.

  By these connection passages 9 and 10, the upper and lower edges of the mold 3 and the interior of the resin material pools 7 and 8 are continuously connected along the longitudinal direction. In other words, the connection passages 9 and 10 are narrow slit-like passages connecting the edge of the mold 3 and the resin material pools 7 and 8. The lower resin material pool 8 is provided with a plurality of (for example, four points) gates 5 along the longitudinal direction thereof.

  In the injection molding apparatus 2C configured as described above, the resin material R injected into the resin material pool 8 from the plurality of gates 5 first merges inside the resin material pool 8, as shown in FIG. They are mixed with each other by distributing them. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the mixed resin material R is extruded into a planar shape by passing through the narrow slit-shaped connection passage 10, and widely spreads along the lower edge of the mold 3. It is injected all at once. The surplus of the resin material R that has spread to the inside of the mold 3 flows out to the resin material pool 7 through the connection passage 9.

  In this way, the resin material R injected from the plurality of gates 5 (multi-point gates) having a wind number once joins inside the resin material pool 8 and then passes through the slit-like connection passage 10 to form a plane. Therefore, the resin material R does not form a boundary surface (weld line) inside the molding die 3 because it is filled from the lower edge of the molding die 3. Therefore, the defect which can make a weld line in a molded article can be prevented effectively.

[Fourth Reference Embodiment]
FIG. 11 is a plan view of an injection molding apparatus 2D (molding die 3) showing a fourth reference embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b) are the XIIa-XIIa line and XIIb in FIG. 11, respectively. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which follows a -XIIb line. The injection molding apparatus 2D has substantially the same configuration as the injection molding apparatus 2C of the third reference embodiment, but the passage width Tf of the connection passages 9 and 10 is the concave cross-sectional arch length L ( (See FIG. 12) is set to increase as the length increases. That is, the connection passages 9 and 10 are tapered slits having a passage width Tf that is large in the middle portion in the front-rear direction of the mold 3 and that the passage width Tf becomes smaller toward both ends in the front-rear direction.

  In this injection molding apparatus 2D, the resin material R injected into the resin material pool 8 from the plurality of gates 5 is merged inside the resin material pool 8 as in the injection molding apparatus 2C of the third reference embodiment. Is injected into the mold 3 through the connection passage 10.

  At that time, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the injection amount of the resin material R increases at a position where the concave cross-sectional arch length L of the mold 3 is long (near the center in the longitudinal direction), and the cross-sectional arch length At a position where the length L is short (near both ends in the longitudinal direction), the injection amount of the resin material R is small.

  Thereby, the speed at which the resin material R is filled from one end to the other end of the concave shape of the mold 3 becomes uniform over the entire length in the length direction of the mold 3. For this reason, it is possible to prevent generation of a boundary surface (weld line) due to a difference in arrival speed of the resin material R inside the mold 3.

[Embodiment]
Fig.15 (a)-FIG.15 (f) are longitudinal cross-sectional views of the injection molding apparatus 2E which shows embodiment of this invention. This injection molding apparatus 2E includes a molding die 13 for injection molding a concave transparent resin molded product such as the above-described canopy 1 (see FIG. 15 (f)).

  The mold 13 includes an outer partial mold 14 and an inner partial mold 15. The outer partial mold 14 is a mold for injection-molding the outer portion 1a from the intermediate portion in the plate thickness direction of the canopy 1 to the outer surface, and the inner partial mold 15 is from the intermediate portion in the plate thickness direction of the canopy 1 to the inner surface. This is a mold for injection-molding the inner portion 1b.

  The outer partial mold 14 includes a first outer mold 14a and a first inner mold 14b, and the inner partial mold 15 includes a second outer mold 15a and a second inner mold 15b. Yes. The first outer mold 14a and the second inner mold 15b can be matched with each other (see FIG. 15E).

  The procedure for injection molding the canopy 1 by the injection molding apparatus 2E is as follows.

  First, as shown in FIG. 15A, the resin material R is injected between the first outer mold 14a and the first inner mold 14b of the outer partial mold 14 to inject the outer portion 1a of the canopy 1. Molding (primary injection process P1).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 15B, the first inner mold 14b is removed leaving the first outer mold 14a, and sink marks Z (dents) are induced on the inner peripheral surface of the outer portion 1a (primary curing). Step P2). That is, the outer peripheral surface of the outer part 1a that has been injection-molded is rapidly cooled because it is in contact with the first outer mold 14a, so that there is no sink. However, the inner peripheral surface of the outer part 1a is not the first inner part. When the mold 14b is removed, the air is kept warm, and cooling is delayed, so that sink marks Z are generated.

  Further, in parallel with the injection molding of the outer part 1a, as shown in FIG. 15C, a resin material is provided between the second outer mold 15a and the second inner mold 15b of the inner part molding die 15. R is injected and the inner part 1b of the canopy 1 is injection-molded (secondary injection step P3).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 15 (d), the second outer mold 15a is removed while leaving the second inner mold 15b, and sink marks Z (dents) are induced on the outer peripheral surface of the inner portion 1b (secondary curing). Step P4). That is, the inner peripheral surface of the injection molded inner portion 1b is in contact with the second inner mold 15b so that it is rapidly cooled and no sink marks occur, but the outer peripheral surface of the inner portion 1b is not When the mold 15a is removed, the air is kept warm, and cooling is delayed, so that sink marks Z are generated.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 15E, the first outer mold 14a from which the first inner mold 14b has been removed and the second inner mold 15b from which the second outer mold 15a has been removed are molded. Match. At this time, an injection space 16 is formed between the outer portion 1a and the inner portion 1b. Then, the resin material R is injected into the injection space 16 (tertiary injection process P5), and the canopy 1 is completed (see FIG. 15F).

  According to the injection molding apparatus 2E and the injection molding method, the sink material Z is induced on the inner peripheral surface of the outer portion 1a and the outer peripheral surface of the inner portion 1b, and then the resin material R is injected between these both surfaces. By doing so, it is possible to reliably prevent defects that cause sink marks on the front and back surfaces of the canopy 1. Therefore, it is possible to omit the polishing step for eliminating sink marks after molding of the canopy 1, which has been conventionally required, thereby contributing to a great reduction in manufacturing cost and quality improvement.

  In addition, the material of the resin material R injected in the primary injection process to the tertiary injection process is not necessarily the same material. By varying the material and characteristics of the resin material R injected in each of the injection processes P1, P3, and P5, the strength characteristics of the canopy 1 and the performance for suppressing optical distortion can be arbitrarily set.

  As described above, according to the transparent resin molded product injection molding apparatuses 2A to 2E and the injection molding method according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of defects such as bubbles, weld lines, sink marks and the like, and to improve the yield of the transparent resin molded product. This can improve the manufacturing cost.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the embodiment described above, and can be appropriately modified or improved within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention.
