However, in order to cut a long strip-shaped picture sheet into a size of one shot, the mold is provided with a cutting means such as a cutting blade or a heating wire. It is necessary to perform a process for providing a cutting means in a mold of a molded product, and there is a problem that when the cutting blade is worn, the mold itself or the cutting blade must be replaced. Further, in a mode in which the cutting means is provided in the sheet fixing means such as a sheet holding frame, the timing of cutting the painted sheet is preferably after fixing the painted sheet,
There is a problem that the mechanism is complicated because the respective timings need to be shifted. On the other hand, in the form in which the cutting means is provided on the hot platen, the above-mentioned timing problem does not occur unless the fixing of the painted sheet and the softening by heating are simultaneously advanced.
However, in the apparatus disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-315950, as shown in FIG. 7, the cutting means 20 composed of a heating wire is fixedly attached to the hot platen 10 with an L-shaped support 24. ing. Usually, the simultaneous painting apparatus for injection molding is fixedly installed on the molding machine, and the painting apparatus having a hot plate size or the like may be different depending on the tonnage of the molding machine. Therefore, in accordance with the change in the size of the mold attached to the molding machine, the size of the hot plate of the painting apparatus should not be changed as much as possible. As a result, when using a small-sized mold in the painting sheet supply direction, a painting sheet on which a pattern or the like is printed at a shorter feed pitch can be used,
Since the hot platen is the same size as it is, the part of the upstream pictorial sheet which is currently being heated and which faces the hot platen is also heated. As a result, that portion (specifically, the outer edge 51 of the clamp 5 on the upstream side in the painting sheet supply direction and the hot platen 1)
0 (the portion between the outer edge 22 on the upstream side in the supply direction of the painted sheet)) becomes unusable due to the occurrence of wrinkles or wrinkles. Therefore, there is a problem in that the painted sheet is wasted in the longitudinal direction. In addition, if there is much waste, when setting a strip-shaped painted sheet as a roll in the simultaneous injection molding painting apparatus, the number of shots that can be processed by the roll of the same diameter decreases, and the number of roll replacements increases accordingly, resulting in a smoother operation. There is also a problem that hinders serial production. Further, in the apparatus disclosed in JP-A-6-315950, the positional relationship between the cutting means and the hot platen is such that the painting sheet is supplied from above, and the cutting means 20 is positioned above the hot platen with respect to the hot platen. Is mounted on the outer edge 22, that is, upstream of the hot platen in the painting sheet supply direction. Therefore, even in this portion, the painting sheet is wasted in the longitudinal direction.

Therefore, in the present invention, the above problems can be solved, and even in a mode in which the cutting means is attached to the hot platen, the heating and heating which can reduce the waste of the painting sheet can be reduced according to the size of the molded product and the size of the mold used. An object of the present invention is to provide a cutting apparatus, a simultaneous painting apparatus for injection molding and a simultaneous painting method for injection molding using the heating / cutting apparatus.

FIG. 1 shows that a belt-shaped picture sheet S is made up of both types 1,
2 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the hot platen is inserted between the two molds in order to make the hot platen 10 face the painted sheet after being transferred and fixed to the parting surface of the mold 1 by the clamp 5 between the two molds. It is. As shown in the figure, in the present invention, a cutting means 20 for cutting a picture sheet is supported by a support 21, and the support 21 is displaceable by a guide 23 in a direction of feeding the picture sheet to the hot platen 10 of the heating / cutting apparatus. Fixed. In the same drawing, the position of the cutting means 20 with respect to the hot platen is the outer edge 22 of the outer edge of the hot plate which is on the upstream side in the painting sheet supply direction.
It is attached so that it can be displaced on the downstream side. If the displacement position range of the cutting means is set on the downstream side of the outer edge 22, it is possible to effectively cope with the reduction of the waste of the painting sheet.
However, the downstream side of the outer edge 22 of the displacement position range of the cutting means, if also be displaced to the upstream side, bigger molds in smaller heating plate, as possible out to the manner and of up moldings. The means for fixing the support 21 to the guide 23 so as to be freely displaceable is arbitrary, as long as the position of the cutting means can be semi-fixedly set. For example, the guide 23 is a cylindrical guide pin, the support 21 is a member having a round hole slidably fitted therein, and the support 21 is
(See FIG. 5). Alternatively, a plurality of screw holes may be provided on both sides of the hot plate along the painting sheet supply direction, and the support may be fixed using screws at appropriate positions. Incidentally, as in FIG. 1, the form of attaching the cutting means to the heating plate itself is the preferred form state. Thereby, the hot plate can be moved forward toward the painting sheet, and the cutting means can also be moved forward at the same time, and the driving mechanism of the cutting means can be used also .

The cutting means 20 may be a blade, a heating wire such as a nichrome wire, or an ultrasonic cutter, and is arbitrary. The blade may be in the form of cutting the entire width of the painted sheet with one blade, or in the form of running a blade narrower than the full width of the painted sheet in the width direction. In heating the heating wire, a current is usually applied to a wire having an appropriate electric resistance, such as a nickel-chromium alloy, and the wire is heated by Joule heat. Above all, the heating wire is in a form in which the heating wire comes into contact with the painting sheet and is blown off. Therefore, it is preferable in that the structure can be made simpler than that of a blade cut by mechanical driving, and the apparatus can be inexpensive. When using the heating wire, to save power and extend the life of the wire, when the hot platen is in the retracted position outside the mold, energize the wire and stop the heating plate. It is preferable to start energization of the filament just before entering. FIG. 5 is a plan view showing one embodiment of the present invention when the hot platen is viewed from the heating surface side, and shows a positional relationship between the heating wire as the cutting means 20 and the hot platen. The heating plate 10 has a rectangular shape, and the heating wire is arranged in the width direction (horizontal direction in the drawing) in parallel with the outer edge 22 on the downstream side of the outer edge 22 that is the upstream side (upper side in the drawing) of the outer edge of the heating plate 10 in the painting sheet supply direction. It is stretched over. As shown in FIG. 1, the heating wire extends over the entire heating surface of the hot platen. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 3, when the hot platen 10 approaches the painting sheet S and moves to the heating position, the heating wire 20 comes into contact with the painting sheet, and the painting sheet supplied between the two molds in the form of a band is removed. The tip side is cut to the size of one shot, and separated from the rest. In addition,
The distance of the cutting means to the heating surface of the hot platen is fixed in FIG. 1, but it can be moved forward and backward by a driving means such as a fluid pressure cylinder so that it can be cut forward by moving forward and backward every shot, or according to the mold size for each mold. The position may be set by moving forward and backward.

The heating plate 10 is preferably a heating element 11 having a heat source such as an electric heater therein as shown in FIG.
Is covered with a frame 12. In the figure, the cutting means 20 is supported by a support 21, and the support 21 is
At 3, it is attached to the frame 12 so as to be displaceable in the painting sheet supply direction. However, a configuration may be adopted in which there is no frame and the outer edge of the heating element on the upstream side in the painting sheet supply direction is the outer edge of the hot platen. The frame supports the heating element and also acts as a heat insulator, preventing heat radiation in all directions and reducing unnecessary heat loss. Although not shown, the back side of the heating element is also insulated. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the outer edge 22 is configured to cover the outer periphery of the heating element with a frame, and is not the outer edge of the heating element itself. Incidentally, the illustration shows an embodiment in which the cutting means is provided not on the downstream side of the outer edge of the heating element on the upstream side in the painting sheet supply direction but on the upstream side. Such a positional relationship is preferable for the purpose of preventing the thermal influence at the time of heating the painted sheet from going back to the unheated portion on the upstream side of the sheet. Further, the outer edge 22 is not always upward when the apparatus is installed. The upper side is a case where the painting sheet is supplied from the upper side to the lower side of the mold. Normally, this form is often used. For example, in a form in which the painting sheet is fed horizontally from the back (or front) of the mold to the front (or back), the outer edge 22 is a vertical portion of the side portion.

A so-called sheet-like heating element made of resin or metal may be used. Further, the hot plate may be provided with a vent hole for blowing out compressed air for forming the picture sheet into a vacuum compressed air. The hot plate is not limited to a single flat plate as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, but may be a non-flat plate having a polygonal cross section or a curved cross section, for example, according to the shape of the painted sheet. It can be in shape,
Alternatively, a hot plate or the like in which a plurality of rigid partial heating elements are flexibly connected may be used. The heating / cutting device of the present invention is a device having a hot platen 10 provided with a cutting means in the above-described embodiment, and although not particularly shown, the hot plate is reciprocated between both molds and an external retracted position. It has a mechanism for moving the sheet between the two dies, and a mechanism for moving forward and backward with respect to the painted sheet. As these mechanisms, conventionally known mechanisms such as a fluid pressure cylinder are used.

A description will be given of supply of a sheet with a picture, cutting, heat softening, preliminary molding, and injection molding. First of all,
FIG. 2 shows a state before the supply of the painting sheet. The leading end of the band-shaped picture sheet S unwound from the roll R is held by the chuck 3 from the front and back. Then, from this state, the painted sheet is supplied between the molds to be in a state before the sheet is cut as shown in FIG. That is, the chuck 3 moves downward while holding the painting sheet S, and conveys the painting sheet to a position where the chuck 4 located below the outside of the mold can grip the leading end of the painting sheet. When the chuck 4 completes gripping the front end of the painting sheet, the chuck 3 releases the gripping of the painting sheet,
The user moves upward to the outside of the mold, returns to the original position, and grips the painting sheet in preparation for the next shot. Next, the clamp 5 always located between the molds moves forward (to the left in the drawing) toward the mold 1 and presses and fixes the painted sheet against the parting surface of the mold 1. The supply of the painted sheet between the molds is completed. The clamp 5 has, for example, a rectangular frame shape so as to surround the cavity of the mold 1 and press the painted sheet. The operation of moving the clamp 5 toward and away from the mold 1 is performed by a known method. For example, although not shown, when a mechanism driven by a hydraulic cylinder or an ejector pin is provided in the mold 1, holes penetrating the mold 1 in the direction of the mold 2 are formed at four corners of the cavity periphery of the mold 1. A mechanism for connecting the tip of the sliding rod inserted into the hole to the clamp 5, connecting the base of the sliding rod to the ejector plate, and moving the clamp to and away from the mold 1 in conjunction with the ejector pin. It is. Then, the hot platen 10 of the heating / cutting device moves from the retracted position outside the mold to between the molds, and moves to a position facing the painted sheet to be heated. In addition, heating
The position of the cutting means of the cutting device is adjusted in advance to an optimal position in the painting sheet supply direction. This state is shown in FIG.

It is optional whether or not a sheet fixing means such as a clamp for fixing the position of the painted sheet is finally included in the sheet supply means. What is necessary is just to supply a sheet with a picture between molds as a sheet supply means. For example, sheet fixing means may be provided on the heating / cutting device side. When the hot platen of the heating / cutting device approaches the painted sheet, the painted sheet is pressed against a parting surface or the like and fixed. Specifically, for example, the frame on the outer periphery of the heating element is a frame projecting from the heating element heating surface, and the painting sheet is pressed by this frame to heat the painting sheet without contacting the heating surface. The mold 1 is usually called a female mold because the cavity surface is concave as shown in the figure, and the mold 2 is usually called a male mold because the cavity surface is convex. However, the cavity surface does not necessarily have to have the mold 1 concave and the mold 2 convex. On the other hand, the mold 1 has a vent hole for preforming in a form in which a painted sheet is preformed by an injection molding die. Then, the vent hole is unnecessary. As the material of the mold, a known material made of metal such as iron or ceramics is used.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, cutting and heating softening of the painting sheet S are performed. The hot platen 10 of the heating / cutting device moves forward (to the left in the drawing) and moves to a position where it contacts the clamp 5. The heating surface of the hot platen is heated at a predetermined distance from the painted sheet, and the cutting means 20 provided on the hot plate comes into contact with the painted sheet and cuts the painted sheet. The cutting position of the painted sheet is set to be downstream of the outer edge 22 which is the upstream side of the hot plate in the painted sheet supply direction and upstream of the outer edge 51 of the clamp 5 which is upstream of the painted sheet supply direction. It is preferable to cut the painted sheet at a position as close to the clamp 5 as possible from the viewpoint of preventing the waste of the painted sheet. Thus, the painted sheet is cut with less waste. The parting surface of the mold 1 is provided with a receiving groove 6 on a surface portion facing the cutting means 20 so as not to hinder the cutting action when the cutting means is a heating wire. FIG. 3 shows a state just before the painting sheet is cut. However, in this case, if the upstream end of the heating element of the hot platen 10 is located on the upstream side of the outer edge 51 of the clamp as shown in FIG. 6, after cutting, the chuck 3 is retracted and the roll R is appropriately wound. The heating element is pulled up so that the cut end of the heating sheet comes upstream from the upstream end of the heating element. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the painted sheet for the next shot from being thermally damaged by the hot platen. Note that, unlike the hot platen 10, the clamp 5 is usually replaced integrally with the mold as a member attached to each mold.

Then, after or simultaneously with the heating and softening of the painting sheet, air is sucked in from a ventilation hole (not shown) provided in the mold 1 to form the painting sheet and bring it into close contact with the cavity surface of the mold 1 (depending on the shape). In some cases, this prepainted sheet forming is omitted). After molding, the hot platen 10 is moved and retracted from between the two dies to a retracted position outside the dies. Then, both types 1, 2
Close the mold. FIG. 4 shows the state after sheet molding and mold clamping. In addition, as shown in FIG.
A receiving groove 7 serving as a concave portion for accommodating the clamp so that the clamp 5 does not disturb the mold clamping is provided on a surface portion facing the clamp. Then, if the resin is injected into the cavity formed by both molds and the mold is opened, a molded article whose surface is painted by the painted sheet is obtained at the same time as molding.

According to the present invention, for a pictorial sheet prepared as a strip, cutting is provided between the sheet areas of the pictorial portion for one shot in the longitudinal direction for cutting the sheet as a discarded and useless part. The length of the margin can be shortened according to the size of the molded product, even when using the same size hot platen. As a result, the cost of the painted sheet can be reduced. In particular, it is effective in a case where a cost is required for printing a thick sheet or a painting pattern. Also, since the margin for cutting is short, when setting a strip-shaped painted sheet as a roll in the simultaneous injection molding painting apparatus, even with the same roll diameter, a larger number of shots can be performed at once, and the number of roll replacements can be reduced. Therefore, smooth continuous production is possible.
