In order to uniformly impregnate the matrix resin while drawing the continuous reinforcing fiber bundle in the production of the pellet-shaped long fiber reinforced resin structure, the molten resin-impregnated continuous fiber bundle is taken in the subsequent stage. A process is required. Further, in order to stabilize the quality of the obtained product and the stable operation of the impregnation process, the take-up process is required to be stable at a constant speed and even. As the take-up step, since the molten resin-impregnated continuous fiber bundle is sandwiched between the upper and lower endless belts that are usually driven by rolls, the molten resin-impregnated continuous fiber bundle is cooled to a certain degree for stable take-up than in a soft state. It is better to be solidified. Immediately after the impregnation step, a shaping die is usually provided to make the impregnation more uniform and to make the cross-sectional shape of the fiber bundle the target product shape. Therefore, in the take-up step, a certain degree of hardness is required so that the shape formed at the entrance does not change.

In order to cool and draw the molten resin-impregnated continuous fiber bundle as described above, a cooling device may be provided between the shaping die and the take-up device, but the degree of cooling is related to the next cutting step. Was difficult to set. That is, a cutting process is provided after the take-up process in order to obtain the product in pellet form. In the cutting process, the temperature is so high that the molten resin-impregnated continuous fiber bundles do not adhere to the cutter, the softer the energy required for cutting, the less the blade of the cutter wears, the less cracked the pellet or the cut surface. The shape is less disturbed and the generation of fine powder is less. Therefore, it is desirable that the molten resin-impregnated continuous fiber bundle is not cooled so much in the take-up step before the cutting step because the heat energy required for reheating between the take-up step and the cutting step is reduced.

In this way, the molten resin-impregnated continuous fiber bundle is stably drawn, and the cooling for keeping the cross-sectional shape at that time and the cost required therefor, as well as the energy required for reheating accompanying cutting, etc. are taken into consideration. Therefore, it is very difficult to set the temperature of the molten resin-impregnated continuous fiber bundle at the time of take-up and the temperature of the molten resin-impregnated continuous fiber bundle at the entrance of the cutting process in a well-balanced manner.
