Description

  According to the present invention, in primary molding, a pair of semi-molded products are integrally formed to have a joining end surface using a movable mold that can be closed and a fixed mold, and in the secondary molding, With the semi-molded product remaining, the movable mold is moved relative to the fixed mold, and the other semi-molded product is overlaid so that the respective joining end faces face each other. The present invention relates to a hollow molded product obtained from a semi-molded product which is paired by welding the overlapped joint end faces by closing the mold or by pressing the semi-molded product in a mold.

  A molding method using an injection molding machine is known as one of methods for producing a synthetic resin hollow molded product obtained by complicated joining of a curved pipe, an intake manifold, a tank, and the like. This injection molding machine is composed of a set of molds as shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2. One mold of a set of molds is provided with a male mold and a female mold for forming one half hollow body, and the other mold is formed with the other half hollow body. A female mold and a male mold are provided. Therefore, the hollow body product is formed as a half-hollow body or split body in the primary formation by these molds, the split surfaces are butted in the secondary formation, and the molten resin is injected and filled into the joined space Then, a pair of semi-hollow bodies becomes one hollow body product joined at the dividing surface. Thereby, a hollow molded article can be manufactured by injection molding. According to the molding method using this injection molding machine, a completely sealed hollow body product can be produced, and a hollow body product with a uniform wall thickness can be produced, and complex shapes can be dealt with, etc. There are also advantages. However, since the molten resin for bonding must be injected in the secondary molding, the structure of the injection machine or the molding time may be long, and the mold structure may be complicated. Furthermore, if the secondary injection pressure is small, the joining force is weak, and conversely, if it is strong, the molten resin may leak into the hollow body product from the joining space.

  On the other hand, Patent Documents 3 and 4 can be cited as direct prior arts of the present invention. In Patent Document 3, a first member made of a cylindrical thermoplastic resin and a second member made of a similar cylindrical thermoplastic resin are opposed to each other, and a conductive member is sandwiched between the opposed end surfaces, and conductive The manufacturing method which manufactures a cylindrical body by welding an end surface by induction heating a property member is indicated. Patent Document 4 discloses the following method for producing a hollow body product. That is, in the primary molding, the first and second semi-hollow bodies are integrally molded to have a joint using a slide mold and a movable mold, and in the secondary molding, the slide mold is One of the first and second semi-hollow bodies formed by primary molding by sliding upward with respect to the movable mold is overlapped with the other half-hollow body so that the respective joints face each other. And the inner surface side of the joint part of the 1st, 2nd semi-hollow body which was piled up is heated with a heater, or is heated with hot air, and a part melts. And the manufacturing method of the hollow body product which pressurizes and welds a junction part with a pressing member and obtains a hollow body product from the 1st and 2nd semi-hollow body is shown.

  According to the invention described in Patent Document 3, since it is not necessary to inject molten resin for joining when joining the end faces of the first and second members, the advantage of simplifying the injection machine or the injection operation is However, there is a problem because foreign matter is embedded in the joint end face. For example, since the embedded conductive member is made of metal, the conductive member may have a shielding action against radio waves and may generate heat, which may limit the application. Furthermore, since the metal conductive member is intervened or buried in the joint end face, that is, the joint force is weak because it is not a joint between synthetic resins but a joint of different materials of metal and synthetic resin. There is. In addition, since Patent Document 3 does not particularly indicate an apparatus used for carrying out the respective molding methods of the first and second members or the joining method of the first and second members, it cannot be quickly cut. However, after the first and second members are taken out of the mold, it seems that they are joined using a special device, which is easily affected by disturbances, temperature, shape, etc. The accuracy can be reduced. In addition, the manufacturing process is expected to be complicated.

According to the invention described in Patent Document 4, since the inside of the joint is heated and welded in a state where it is in the mold, the outside of the joint is not melted and deformed. Only the necessary part is melted, and there is an advantage that less energy is required for melting. Furthermore, since the secondary molding for joining the pair of semi-hollow bodies is also performed with the same mold used in the primary molding for molding the pair of semi-hollow bodies, a highly accurate hollow body product manufacturing apparatus is inexpensive. Thus, there is an advantage that a hollow body product can be manufactured at low cost. However, since the heater is buried, there are problems as described above. In addition, since the heater is in the form of a conducting wire, there is no guarantee that the end surfaces to be joined will be melted uniformly. On the other hand, according to the method of melting and joining with hot air, the hot air is highly compressible and has a small heat capacity. Therefore, it is technically difficult to supply hot air uniformly over the entire joining portion and to melt uniformly. is expected. In addition, since the melted joint is pressed and welded by a specially prepared pressing member, the cost of the manufacturing apparatus may be increased.
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems. Specifically, the strength of the joint portion of the semi-molded product is sufficiently large, and the molding problem becomes complicated during the secondary molding, An object of the present invention is to provide a hollow molded article that is free from the problem of resin selection and can be molded at low cost.

In order to achieve the above object, the first aspect of the present invention is a hollow molded product in which the first to third semi-molded products are joined to each other and a space portion is formed inside thereof. The semi-molded product has a first joint end surface on the split surface when the hollow molded product is split in the longitudinal direction, and a first end joint end surface on the split surface when split in the horizontal direction, The second semi-molded product has a second joining end surface on the split surface when the hollow molded product is split in the longitudinal direction, and a second end joint end surface on the split surface when split in the lateral direction. The third semi-molded product has a third joint end surface on a split surface when the hollow molded product is split in the longitudinal direction, and the first and second joint end surfaces and the third joint The hollow molded product is configured by joining end surfaces to each other and the first and second end joint end surfaces to each other.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the primary molding, the movable mold and the pair of slide cores are used by using a movable mold capable of closing the mold, a fixed mold, and a pair of slide cores attached to the fixed mold. The first and second semi-molded products that are paired with each other have a joining end surface on each of a split surface when the hollow molded product is split in the longitudinal direction and a split surface when split in the horizontal direction, and The third half-molded product is molded by the fixed mold and the movable mold so as to have a joining end surface on the split surface when the hollow molded product is split in the longitudinal direction. With the molded product remaining, the movable mold is opened, the movable mold is moved with respect to the pair of slide cores of the fixed mold, and the respective joining end faces face the first and second semi-molded products. And the overlapped joint end faces are joined together A hollow molded product obtained from the first to third semi-molded products, wherein the joining end faces of the first to third semi-molded products are separated from each other, and the heating provided with a heating surface therebetween The joining end face is melted and pressure-bonded by inserting a body, melting the joining end face to retract the heating body, and closing the mold, or pressing the semi-molded product in a mold.

As described above, the hollow molded product according to the present invention is a hollow molded product in which the first to third semi-molded products are joined to each other and a space portion is formed inside thereof, and the first semi-molded product is Has a first joint end face on the split surface when the hollow molded article is split in the longitudinal direction, and a first end joint end face on the split face when split in the horizontal direction, respectively. The semi-molded product has a second joint end surface on the split surface when the hollow molded product is split in the longitudinal direction, and a second end joint end surface on the split surface when split in the lateral direction, The third semi-hollow product has a third joint end surface on a split surface when the hollow molded product is split in the longitudinal direction, and the first and second joint end surfaces and the third joint end surface are Since the first and second end joint end faces are joined to each other, the hollow molded product according to another invention is In the next molding, using a movable mold capable of closing the mold, a fixed mold, and a pair of slide cores attached to the fixed mold, the first and second pairs that are paired by the movable mold and the pair of slide cores are used. The semi-molded product has a joint end surface on each of the split surface when the hollow molded product is split in the longitudinal direction and the split surface when split in the horizontal direction, and the fixed mold and the movable mold are used for the third. Is formed so as to have a joining end surface on the split surface when the hollow molded product is divided in the longitudinal direction, and in the secondary molding, the movable mold is left with the third semi-molded product remaining. The movable mold is moved with respect to the pair of slide cores of the fixed mold, and the first and second semi-molded products are overlapped so that the respective joined end faces are opposed to each other, and the joined end faces are overlapped. Are joined to the first to third semi-molded parts The joined end surfaces of the first to third semi-molded products are separated from each other, and a heating body having a heating surface is inserted therebetween to melt the joined end surfaces. Since the joining end face is melted and pressure-bonded by retracting the heating body and closing the mold, or by pressing the semi-molded product in the mold, a plurality of semi-molded products are joined. Nevertheless, the joint strength is high, the accuracy is high, and the molded product has a wide range of applications.
Further, since the mold can be formed by a movable mold that can be closed, a fixed mold, a pair of slide cores mounted on the fixed mold, and a planar heating body, the obtained hollow molded product is inexpensive. Furthermore, since the hollow molded product according to the present invention can be joined with the same mold without taking out the semi-molded product from the mold used for molding the first to third semi-molded products, it is transferred to a welding jig. There is no need to replace the jig, and there is no need to adjust the jig in anticipation of the timely shrinkage change of the semi-molded product, and the resulting hollow molded product has excellent precision.
Moreover, since adjustment of the welding jig is not required, the effect of making the fusion strength uniform can be obtained. More specifically, according to the conventional hot plate welding method, it is necessary to insert the semi-molded product into the welding jig after taking it out of the die, but if it is taken out from the die, it will be deformed, making it difficult to insert, It is difficult to weld a molded product having a curved joint surface, and there are many welds of a molded product having a flat joint surface, but the hollow molded product according to the present invention is heated in the mold used for the primary molding. The hollow molded product has high dimensional accuracy without being influenced by the shape of the joint surface.
In particular, according to the present invention, a heating body having a heating surface is inserted between the joining end faces of the semi-molded product, the joining end face is melted to retract the heating body, and the mold is closed, or the semi-molding product. Because the joint end faces are melted and pressure-bonded by pressing them in the mold, there is no foreign matter between the joint end faces, and the resins are joined together. The effect is obtained. At this time, since heating is performed while remaining in the mold, the position of the heating body is accurately controlled, and heating is performed on the heating surface, so that the entire joining end surface is melted and pressure bonded. Furthermore, since it is heated while remaining in the mold, it is welded before the semi-molded product is completely solidified and manufactured with energy saving.
In addition, according to the present invention, there is no problem of injection that makes the molding process complicated during secondary molding, the problem of selection of resin, etc., and there is no special need for a pressing member that presses and crimps the joint, so hollow molding The product is inexpensive.

The unit 70 includes a hydraulic pressure source 74 that supplies and discharges hydraulic oil to and from the hydraulic piston cylinder unit 70 via supply and discharge hoses 73 and 73. And the heating body 40 is attached to the front-end | tip part of the support frame 72. As shown in FIG. The heater 40 is provided with the above-described heaters, and these heaters are supplied with power from a power source 75 by cables 76 and 76 at a constant time or when the power drops to a predetermined temperature. In addition, a heating body insertion port 77 is opened on the sides of the fixed mold 1 and the slide mold 30. Therefore, when hydraulic oil is supplied to and discharged from the hydraulic piston cylinder 70 in conjunction with the movement of the slide mold 30, the heating element 40 is inserted between the joint end faces ab and aa or retracted to the position shown in FIG.
The heating body 40 is attached to, for example, an arm of a robot, and is interlocked with the movement of the slide mold 30 and is inserted between the fixed mold 1 and the slide mold 30, that is, between the joining end surfaces ab and aa, and removed. However, such a robot is not shown in the figure.

  Next, a molding method for manufacturing the synthetic resin curved pipe C using the manufacturing apparatus will be described. The slide mold 30 is slidably driven to the primary molding position, that is, the position shown in FIG. 1B, and clamped by a mold clamping device (not shown). Then, the third cavity Cb for molding the third semi-molded product B is constituted by the concave portion 3 of the fixed die 1 and the core 33 of the slide die 30. At the same time, the recess 15 of the first slide core 11 and the core 36 of the slide mold 30 form a first cavity Ca1 for forming the first semi-molded product A1, and the recess 15 of the second slide core 12 is formed. And the core 36 of the slide mold 30 constitutes a second cavity Ca2 for molding the second semi-molded product A2.

  A plasticized molten resin is injected from the main sprue 19 from a nozzle of an injection machine (not shown). The molten resin is filled from the runner 18, first, second and third sprues 16, 17 and 21 into the cavities Cb, Ca 1 and Ca 2 almost simultaneously via the gates. Thus, the first and second semi-molded products A1 and A2 and the third semi-molded product B are molded substantially simultaneously. Wait for some cooling and solidification. This completes the primary molding.

  Next, the movable mold 29, that is, the slide mold 30 is opened. Then, the first and second semi-molded products A1 and A2 remain on the first and second slide cores 11 and 12, respectively, depending on the shape, area, and presence or absence of protrusions of the semi-molded products A1, A2 and B. In addition, the third half-molded product B remains on the slide mold 30 and is opened. The slide mold 30 is slid to the upper second position in FIG. Then, the joining end faces ab and aa of the first and second semi-molded products A1 and A2 and the third semi-molded product B are aligned. Tighten the temporary mold. By this temporary clamping, the inclined pins 35, 35 enter the guide holes 14, 14 of the first and second slide cores 11, 12. Next, the slide mold 30 is opened by a predetermined amount. As a result, a predetermined amount is opened between the slide mold 30 and the first and second slide cores 11, 12, that is, between the parting lines P. Further, the first and second slide cores 11 and 12 are driven in the opening direction by the action of the inclined pins 35 and 35, and are opened by a predetermined amount. That is, the joint end surfaces aa of the first and second semi-molded products A1 and A2 and the joint end surfaces ab of the first and second semi-molded products A1 and A2 and the third semi-molded product B are at a predetermined interval. . Therefore, hydraulic oil is supplied to the hydraulic piston cylinder unit 70. Then, the heating body 40 is inserted between the joining end faces aa and ab. The joining end faces aa and ab are heated and melted in a non-contact manner. Or after inserting the heating body 40 and narrowing the space | interval of the heating surfaces 41, 42, 43, and 43 and the joining end surfaces a and b, it heat-melts efficiently.

  Thus, the state which inserted the heating body 40 or the state which is heating is shown by FIG. When the joining end faces aa and ab are melted, the heating body 40 is taken out and clamped. With this clamping force, the first and second semi-molded products A1 and A2 and the third semi-molded product B are welded at the joining end surface ab. At the same time, the first and second slide cores 11 and 12 are driven in a direction approaching each other by the action of the inclined pins 35 and 35, and the first and second semi-molded products A1 and A2 are welded at the joining end surface aa. The slide mold 30 is opened after cooling and solidification. Then, the curved pipe C shown in FIG. The slide mold 30 is slid to the first position shown in FIG. 1B, and primary molding is performed as described above. In the same manner, the curved pipe C is manufactured.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. According to the second embodiment, the curved pipe C shown in FIG. 1A can also be manufactured, but this time, the first pipe as shown in FIG. An example of manufacturing a curved pipe C ′ having flanges F and F at both ends from two semi-formed products A1 ′ and A2 ′ and a third semi-formed product B ′ will be described. It should be noted that elements similar to those of the first embodiment described above are given the same reference numerals, or the same reference numerals are marked with dashes to avoid redundant description. The manufacturing apparatus according to the second embodiment includes a pair of first and second slide cores 11 ′ and 12 ′ embedded at a predetermined angle in the fixed mold 1 ′. These first and second slide cores 11 ′ and 12 ′ have first and second piston cylinder units 51 and 52 that are operated by hydraulic pressure or pneumatic pressure. The cores 53 and 54 are driven in the direction of the arrow. The tip of the first core 53 and the core 36 ′ of the slide mold 30 ′ constitute a first cavity Ca 1 ′ for forming the first semi-molded product A 1 ′, and the tip of the second core 54. And the core 36 ′ of the slide mold 30 ′ constitute a second cavity Ca 2 ′ for forming the second semi-molded product A 2 ′. Around the core 33 ′ of the slide mold 30 ′, flanges F and concave portions 55 for forming F are formed.

  According to the present embodiment, the gate is a so-called tab gate opened to the cavities Ca1 ′ and Ca2′Cb ′ via the tabs provided on the end surfaces of the first to third cavities Ca1 ′ and Ca2′Cb ′. Therefore, the runners 16 ′, 17 ′, and 21 ′ do not appear in FIG. In addition, the heating body 40 'itself also constitutes a heating surface.

  Since the second embodiment can be molded in the same manner as the above-described embodiment, the slide mold 30 ′ is used for the primary molding shown in FIG. Slide to position 1. Hydraulic oil is supplied to the first and second piston cylinder units 51 and 52, and the first and second cores 53 and 54 are driven to the positions shown in FIG. Then, the third cavity Cb 'for molding the third semi-molded product B' is constituted by the concave portion 3 of the fixed mold 1 'and the core 33' of the slide mold 30 '. At the same time, a first cavity Ca1 ′ for forming the first semi-molded product A1 ′ is formed by the recess 15 ′ of the first core 53 and the core 36 ′ of the slide mold 30 ′, and the second core 54 is formed. The second cavity Ca2 ′ for forming the second semi-molded product A2 ′ is constituted by the concave portion 15 ′ and the core 36 ′ of the slide mold 30 ′.

  The plasticized molten resin is injected and filled into the cavities Cb ′, Ca1 ′, and Ca2 ′ from nozzles of an injection machine (not shown). As a result, the first and second semi-molded products A1 'and A2' and the third semi-molded product B 'are molded substantially simultaneously. Wait for some cooling and solidification. This completes the primary molding.

  Next, the slide mold 30 'is opened. Then, the first and second semi-molded products A1 ′ and A2 ′ remain on the first and second cores 53 and 54, respectively, and the third semi-molded product B ′ faces the slide mold 30 ′. It remains and is opened. The slide mold 30 ′ is slid to the upper second position in FIG. Then, the joining end surfaces ab and aa of the first and second semi-molded products A1 'and A2' and the third semi-molded product B 'are aligned as described above. The first and second cores 53 and 54 are retracted as shown in FIG. Since the fixed mold 1 ′ and the slide mold 30 ′ are open and the first and second cores 53 and 54 are retracted, the first and second semi-molded products A1 ′ and A2 ′ are joined together. The end surface aa and the joining end surface ab between the first and second semi-molded products A1 ′ and A2 ′ and the third semi-molded product B ′ have a predetermined interval. Therefore, the heating element 40 'is inserted between the joint end faces aa and ab by the hydraulic piston cylinder unit 70 as described above, and the joint end faces aa and ab are heated and melted.

  The state in which the heating body 40 is inserted or heated in this way is shown in FIG. When the joining end faces aa and ab are melted, the heating body 40 'is taken out and clamped. Also, hydraulic oil is supplied to the first and second piston cylinder units 51 and 52 to drive the first and second cores 53 and 54 in the direction shown in FIG. By this clamping force, the first and second semi-molded products A1 'and A2' and the third semi-molded product B 'are welded at the joining end surface ab. Further, the first and second semi-molded products A1 and A2 are welded at the joining end surface aa by driving the first and second cores 53 and 54 that are inclined inward. Waiting for cooling and solidification, the slide mold 30 'is opened. Then, the curved pipe C ′ with the flanges F and F shown in FIG. The slide mold 30 'is slid to the first position shown in FIG. 4 (a), and primary molding is performed as described above. In the same manner, the curved pipe C ′ is manufactured.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the curved pipes C and C ′ are manufactured has been described. However, it is obvious that a curved tubular hollow body in which the ends of the curved pipes C and C ′ are closed can be manufactured in the same manner. . It is also clear that a spherical hollow body C ″ can be produced from three half-molded products A1 ″, A2 ″ and B ″ as shown in FIG. Therefore, the hollow molded product includes a molded product partially released, such as the curved pipes C and C '. It is also clear that the rotary type can be used instead of the slide type.
