Description

  The present invention relates to an injection apparatus in a molding machine that can efficiently heat and melt a large number of charged pellets in a short time and inject a high-quality molten resin.

  Generally, there are screw type and plunger type injection devices. As a typical example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the screw type mainly includes a cylinder and a screw. The pellets introduced from the hopper provided in the cylinder are transferred to the injection nozzle side by the rotation of the screw inside the cylinder, and are heated and melted in the transfer process. Then, the molten resin is collected at the tip of the nozzle, injected, and the molten resin is sent to the mold.

  A general pellet is resin (plastic), and its thermal conductivity is about 0.07 to 0.20 kcal / m · hr · ° C. This is one-hundredth to several-thousandth of the thermal conductivity of the metal, and thus, the pellet can be said to be a substantially heat insulating material. Therefore, even when sufficient heat of fusion is applied to melt the pellet, it is difficult for the heat to be transferred to the inside (center) of the pellet, and it takes a considerable time to be sufficiently heated.

  Therefore, it has been impossible to complete the process until individual pellets are sufficiently melted and ready for resin molding. For this reason, the pellets must be melted for a relatively long time in the cylinder, and the working efficiency is not good. Further, in the injection device, the solids of a large number of pellets charged in the cylinder are heated and moved to the injection side by rotating the screw, and at this time, a part of the large number of pellets is moved to the inner wall of the cylinder. It will be in a state of being pressed.

  That is, it is pressed against the inner wall of the cylinder. And also about each pellet pressed, only a part of the surface of the solid contacts a cylinder inner wall, and the melting of each pellet only melts the pellet solid partially. Pellets that are kneaded by a screw in the cylinder are separated from the inner wall of the cylinder in a short time, are not heated sufficiently, the pellet solid is not melted as a whole, and most of the pellets are mixed with the molten and non-molten parts It becomes a state.

  By repeatedly pressing the pellet against the inner wall of the cylinder with a screw, the pellet is completely melted. Even when the molten pellet is transferred to the vicinity of the nozzle, the amount of resin staying in the cylinder is one time. This is more than several tens of times the amount required for injection, and a wasteful amount of pellets remains in the cylinder.

  Also, when the molten resin passes through the gap between the screw and the cylinder, the resin is mechanically damaged. In particular, when melting glass fiber-containing pellets, there are many problems, and the screw is worn. Also, since each pellet is randomly melted only partially, it is inevitable that the same pellet will remain in the cylinder indefinitely. Therefore, the work is particularly difficult when changing the material in the pellets in the cylinder.

  There is a plunger type for such a screw type. This type has a simple structure and is easy to downsize. Also, the plunger type does not have the disadvantage that the screw is worn. Patent Document 2 is a plunger type having the most basic structure, and is mainly composed of a frustoconical heating cylinder having a large number of through holes, an injection plunger, a supply cylinder, and the like. is there. The synthetic resin raw material is sent out to the heating cylinder by the injection plunger, and injection is performed. However, Patent Document 2 also has various problems.

JP-A-6-246802 Japanese Patent Publication No. 36-9884

  First, in Patent Document 2, the injection plunger and the frustoconical heating cylinder are different from each other in diameter, and the diameter of the injection plunger is slightly smaller than the diameter of the facing portion of the heating cylinder. ing. In addition, a gap chamber having a volume larger than the area of the tip of the injection plunger exists between the tip of the injection plunger, the heating cylinder, the tip of the injection plunger, and the supply cylinder.

  Therefore, the molten synthetic resin raw material is once extruded into the gap chamber by the injection plunger, but even if the injection plunger further moves to the heating cylinder side, the synthetic resin raw material efficiently flows into the through hole of the heating cylinder. There is a possibility that it will not flow into the heating cylinder and remain in the gap chamber. And the synthetic resin raw material remaining in the space may be a hindrance to the synthetic resin raw material to be newly sent out to the through hole of the heating cylinder. Moreover, there is a sufficient possibility that the synthetic resin raw material to be newly sent out and the resin that has deteriorated due to remaining for a long time are mixed.

  Further, as described above, the heating cylinder is formed in a substantially truncated cone shape on the tip side, and therefore, a large number of through holes formed in the heating cylinder are directed from the inflow side to the outflow side of the synthetic resin raw material. They are converged and formed so that the interval gradually decreases. That is, the large number of through-holes are arranged in a wide range and appropriately dispersed in the opening on the inflow side, but the openings on the outflow side are configured to be dense within a narrow range.

  Therefore, in the heating cylinder, the interval between the through holes on the outflow side is gradually narrowed, and the cross-sectional area of the thick portion other than the through hole forming portion is gradually reduced accordingly. That is, in the heating cylinder in Patent Document 2, the overall heat capacity is small due to the truncated cone shape, and the volume of the thick part (solid part) is small especially on the outflow side where many through holes converge. As the temperature approaches the outflow side, the heat capacity decreases (see FIG. 13B).

  Furthermore, in Patent Document 2, since the inner diameter of the through-hole gradually decreases from the inflow side to the outflow side, the moving speed of the synthetic resin raw material that moves in and moves through the through-hole gradually increases. For this reason, the heating section having a small heat capacity cannot transfer a sufficient amount of heat to the resin to heat and melt the resin, and the temperature of the synthetic resin raw material that moves through the through-hole may decrease during the movement process. . Therefore, in order to maintain the molten state of the synthetic resin raw material, a large amount of heat must be given to the heating cylinder, and a heater band is attached to the outer periphery of the heating cylinder.

  However, since the heating cylinder itself is formed in a truncated cone shape, the heat capacity is small as described above, and in particular, the heat capacity on the outflow side of the through hole becomes small, so the synthetic resin raw material that moves through the through hole It is impossible to conduct a sufficient amount of heat. For this reason, the temperature of the synthetic resin raw material is decreased, and the heating cylinder is also deprived of heat, thereby lowering the temperature.

  Therefore, the synthetic resin raw material that flows in and moves through the through-holes is lowered in the process of moving, and it is difficult to maintain a uniform molten state, and the synthetic resin raw material including defective factors such as thermal stress is injected. . Accordingly, an object of the present invention (technical problem to be solved) is to solve the disadvantages of the conventional screw type injection device, to efficiently heat and melt a large number of pellets in a short time, and to melt the pellet melting temperature. It is to provide an injection device capable of maintaining a high quality and injecting a high quality molten resin.

Therefore, the inventor has intensively studied to solve the above problems, and as a result, the invention of claim 1 is arranged in a cylinder provided with a pellet supply port, and is arranged in the cylinder and is rotated on the same axis. A screw for transferring the pellet, a driving means for rotationally driving the screw, and a plurality of melting holes communicating with the cylindrical vessel body through a cone-shaped passage from the inflow side large opening to the outflow side small opening Formed of a melter, an outlet member such as a nozzle or a die provided on the injection side of the cylinder, and heating means for heating the melter, wherein the melter includes the screw and the outlet member. The surface on which the large number of the inflow side large openings of the melting hole is disposed is defined as an inflow side surface portion facing the tip of the screw, and the nozzle is opposed to the inflow side surface portion. The face and the outflow side part that, and the diameter of the tip profile of the screw, by which the injection device in a molding machine comprising a same diameter of the inflow side portion of the melter, the above-mentioned problems are eliminated.

The invention of claim 2, in claim 1, wherein the body portion of the melter, by the inflow side portion and the outlet side portion is an injection device in a molding machine comprising a same diameter, the above-mentioned problems Settled. The invention of claim 3 is the injection apparatus in a molding machine according to claim 2, wherein the outflow side surface portion of the melter main body portion of the melter is formed to have a diameter larger than that of the inflow side surface portion. Solved the above problem.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the molding machine according to any one of the first, second, and third aspects, an exhaust hole is provided between the tip of the screw and the inflow side surface of the melter. By using an injection device, the above-mentioned problems have been solved. The invention of claim 5 is the injection device of the molding machine according to any one of claims 1, 2, 3 or 4 , wherein the melt hole of the melter has a conical shape. did.

According to a sixth aspect of the invention, in the description of the first, second, third or fourth aspect , the large inflow side opening of the adjacent melt hole is formed into a substantially polygonal opening, and the adjacent inflow The above-mentioned problems have been solved by using an injection device in a molding machine in which the large side openings are close to each other so that the boundary portion is formed as a substantially straight blade shape.

In the invention of claim 7, in the description of any one of claims 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, a large number of small holes are provided in a circumferential region near the supply port location of the pellet supply port The above-described problems have been solved by using an injection device in a molding machine in which an air vent portion made of is formed. The invention of claim 8, in the description of any of claims 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7, wherein the melter and screw together are more equipped to form each set of a plurality The above problem was solved by using an injection device in a molding machine arranged in parallel.

In the invention of claim 9, in claim 8, sets of the said melter screw by which the injection device in juxtaposed comprising molding machine as two pairs, the above-mentioned problems are eliminated. The invention of claim 10, in claim 8, sets of the melter and the screw, by which the injection device in juxtaposed comprising molding machine as three or more, the above-mentioned problems are eliminated.

In the invention of claim 1, the melter has melt holes formed in the shape of a large number of cone passages in the vessel body, and one of the hole formation directions of the melt holes is an inflow side large opening, The other is a small opening on the outflow side. The melter is disposed between the screw and the outlet member in the cylinder, and the surface on the inflow side large opening side of the melt hole is an inflow side surface portion facing the tip of the screw. Further, a surface opposite to the inflow side surface and facing the outlet member is an outflow side surface. The shape of the distal end surface of the screw is obtained by the same inflow side portion and the shape of the melter.

  With such a configuration, a large number of pellets are charged into the cylinder, and the large number of pellets can be transferred toward the melter while the screw is rotated by starting the driving means. And since the inflow side surface part of the melter faces the tip of the screw, the pellets extruded from the screw to the melter side are pressed by the subsequent pellets pushed out one after another from the screw. Then, it enters the melting hole from the large opening on the inflow side. Also in this process, the heating means sets the melter to a sufficient melting temperature for the pellets.

Furthermore, the shape of the tip end surface of the screw is the same as the shape of the inflow side surface portion of the melter , so that the cross-sectional shape in the cylinder in which the screw is stored and the cross-sectional shape of the screw are usually Since they are the same (including substantially the same), there is no gap wider than the outer peripheral side surface of the screw between the tip surface of the screw and the inflow side surface portion of the melter.

  That is, the tip surface of the screw works effectively, and a large number of pellets extruded from the tip portion of the screw can be fed directly into a large number of large openings on the inflow side of the melting holes of the melter without any waste. Therefore, the pellets do not remain between the tip of the screw and the inflow side surface portion of the melter, so that it is possible to prevent an obstacle in repeated use.

  The pellets extruded from the screw and entering the melt hole from the large opening on the inflow side are surrounded by the inner peripheral wall surface of the melt hole, and the inner peripheral wall surface becomes gradually narrowed because the melt hole is a cone-shaped passage. The distance from the periphery of the pellet gradually decreases as the pellet moves toward the small opening side.

  The melter itself is heated to the melting temperature of the pellets by heating means, and the pellets are melted. At this time, the entire periphery of the pellet is in a state surrounded by the inner peripheral wall surface of the melting hole, and the pellet can be melted from the outer periphery to the center part in a substantially even balance. In addition, since the pellet body moves in the melting hole from the inflow side large opening toward the outflow side small opening, the container body has a large heat capacity. Can be maintained at a sufficient melting temperature while heating the pellets without being affected by the temperature of the molten pellets.

  And while the pellets are melted substantially uniformly from the outer periphery toward the center, they are pressed by a large number of pellets that enter one after the other from the inflow side large opening, and can move to the outflow side small opening of the melt hole. Melting of the pellets progresses, and most of the melted part is passed through approximately the middle in the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the melt hole. Melting of the surrounding pellets progresses at an accelerated rate with the melting heat of the melter. . In the vicinity of the small opening on the outflow side, the pellets are completely melted at the maximum temperature, and a resin in a good molten state can be injected from the nozzle.

  Thus, in the present invention, the melter has a large number of pyramidal passage-shaped melting holes in the main body, and the multiple pyramidal passage-shaped melting holes heated to the melting temperature by the heating means. Pellets extruded from the screw enter from the large opening side inflow side large opening, so that the pellets melt in a well-balanced manner and the heat capacity of the melter is large so that a high temperature state can be maintained and melting is promoted. The melting speed is also increased, the injection time from the outlet member can be significantly shortened, and the work efficiency of injection molding can be improved.

  In addition, since the pellet enters the melting hole of the melting device from the large opening on the inflow side and is reliably melted while moving the melting hole toward the small opening on the outflow side, and only the pellet that has entered the melting hole is melted. The pellets are not exposed to thermal and mechanical stress in the cylinder for a long time. Therefore, a high quality molded product can be obtained. In addition, since the melting efficiency is high and it is not necessary to add more material than necessary, the cylinder can be made small, contributing to power saving and resource saving.

  In particular, in the melter, the temperature of the resin reaches the maximum at the small opening on the outflow side by the heating means. The optimum temperature required immediately before injection and the maximum temperature can be set, and the resin is not deteriorated by setting the high temperature state to the minimum time, so that high-quality molding is possible. That is, the melter has a structure that can raise the resin to the optimum temperature immediately before injection in the last process in which the resin melts.

Furthermore, vessel main body of the fuser distal end surface of the cylindrical shape and the screw has a circular shape, the diameter of the distal end surface of the screw is obtained by the inflow side portion and the same diameter of the melter. As a result, the inner side surface of the cylinder becomes a circular shape along with the screw, and the cylinder, fuser, and screw can be reduced in size. Can do.

  Further, the melter has a plurality of cone holes formed in a cylindrical shape in the main body of the container, and these many melt holes are formed from the inflow side surface portion to the outflow side surface portion. It can arrange | position in a substantially parallel state, without converging toward [refer FIG. 13 (A)]. As a result, the large number of small openings on the outflow side can be evenly arranged without being crowded. Therefore, the heat capacity of the melter itself can be made sufficiently large, and the volume of the thick portion (solid portion) between the melt holes on the side of the outflow side surface can be secured sufficiently large. The heat capacity can be increased (see FIG. 13A).

  Therefore, when the pellet is moved from the large inflow side opening to the small outflow side opening through the melting hole, once the melting device is heated to a high temperature by the heating means, the high temperature is maintained by the large heat capacity and the melting is performed. The pellets thus obtained can be maintained at a sufficient melting temperature without lowering the temperature, and the molten resin of good quality pellets p, p,.

In the invention of claim 2, vessel main body of the melter, by the inflow side portion and the outlet side portion is the same diameter, fuser becomes a precise cylindrical shape, the production of the fuser In addition to being able to simplify, it can be easily assembled to the cylinder. In the invention of claim 3, vessel main body of the melter, the outflow side portion by diameter than the inlet side portion is larger, increasing the wall thickness portion of the outlet side portion side of the vessel main body portion It is possible to increase the heat capacity in the vicinity of the outflow side small opening and maintain the heating temperature by the heating means in a more stable state.

  In the invention of claim 4, the cylinder is provided with an exhaust hole between the moving range of the tip of the screw and the inflow side of the melter, so that the tip of the screw is in the inflow side of the melter. Even when the pressure of the air accumulated between the tip portion of the screw and the inflow side surface portion of the melter rises when moving toward the portion, the air can be discharged from the exhaust hole.

  Accordingly, the tip of the screw can be mounted at a position close enough to substantially contact the inflow side surface of the melter, and a large number of pellets can be fed into the melter hole of the melter without waste. In addition, when the pellet is compressed and injected into the tip portion of the screw and the inflow side surface portion of the melter, air remains in a slight gap between the pellets, but when the screw is pushed as it is, Air may enter the molten resin as bubbles. Therefore, before the pellets are melted by the exhaust holes, the air that becomes the aforementioned bubbles can be released.

  Next, in the invention of claim 5, since the melting hole of the melting device has a conical shape, the outer periphery of the pellet is easily surrounded by the inner peripheral wall surface of the melting hole regardless of the shape of the pellet. It can be melted in a substantially uniform and balanced manner.

  In the invention of claim 6, the large inflow side opening of the adjacent melt hole is formed in a substantially rectangular opening, and the boundary between the adjacent large inflow side openings is formed in a blade shape. The pellets pressed by the inflow side large opening side screw in the melt hole are crushed and finely separated at the edge of the boundary between the inflow side large openings described above, so that the pellets are more easily entered by the inflow side large opening. Thus, melting of the pellet can be promoted.

  In the invention of claim 7, an air vent portion composed of a large number of small holes is formed in a circumferential region near the supply port location of the pellet supply port of the cylinder, so that a large number of pellets can be easily fed into the cylinder. can do. In other words, when air is accumulated in the cylinder with respect to the pellets fed into the cylinder, the accumulated air can be discharged from a large number of small holes, preventing the pellets from entering easily. can do.

  Furthermore, the large number of small holes in the air vent portion can reduce the material area for forming the cylinder, reduce the thermal conductivity, prevent the drive means and the like from reaching a high temperature, and improve the heat dissipation. Furthermore, many small holes can visually observe the inside of the cylinder, and the remaining amount of pellets charged into the cylinder can be visually confirmed.

In the invention of claim 8, wherein the fuser and screw form each set together with the plurality comprises, by the plurality of pairs arranged in parallel, the large mold that require large amounts of pellets It is also suitable for forming a long work (product) directly by using a die for the outlet member from the injection device according to the present invention.

In the invention of claim 9, sets of the said melter screw by arranged in parallel as two pairs, while relatively small, can be provided with may correspond to mold large. In the invention of claim 10, sets of the said melter screw by arranged in parallel as three or more, can be provided with more may correspond to mold large.

  If the large opening on the inflow side of the melting hole is sized so that at least a part of the pellet can flow, approximately one pellet can enter the large opening on the inflow side of the melting hole. As soon as it enters, it is surrounded by the inner peripheral wall surface of the melting hole, melting starts, and the working speed of injection molding may be improved.

  The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1 (A), the present invention mainly includes a cylinder 1, a melting device 2 for melting pellets p, p,..., A screw 3, a driving means 4 for driving the screw 3, and heating. And means 6. A melter 2 and a screw 3 are arranged inside the cylinder 1.

The outlet member 8 is attached to one end side of the cylinder 1 in the axial direction (or also referred to as the longitudinal direction), and the driving means 4 is attached to the other end side in the axial direction (longitudinal direction). It is configured to rotate in the direction [see FIGS. 2A to 2C]. The shape of the distal end surface of the screw 3 is obtained by the inflow side portion 21a and the same shape of the melter 2.

  The material of the cylinder 1 needs to be heated quickly, and iron or stainless steel with a high iron content is suitable. The cylinder 1 includes a cylinder body 11, a supply pipe 12, and a hopper 13. The cylinder main body 11 is a cylindrical member, and the inner side thereof has a substantially columnar space surrounded by the inner peripheral side surface 11b. The cylinder body 11 is set with a region in which a part in the axial direction (longitudinal direction) is heated by the heating means 6 described later.

  And the pellet supply port 11a is formed in the axial direction (longitudinal direction) intermediate part of the cylindrical cylinder main-body part 11 [refer FIG. 1 (A) and FIG. 2 (A)]. The tubular supply pipe 12 is formed on the outer peripheral side surface of the cylinder main body 11 from the periphery of the pellet supply port 11a, and the hopper 13 is provided at the end of the supply pipe 12 [FIG. reference〕. The thickness of the cylinder body 11 is preferably about 2 mm.

  A large number of pellets p, p,... Can be charged into the hopper 13, and the charged pellets p, p,... Are fed into the cylinder body 11 from the pellet supply port 11a through the supply pipe 12. See FIG. 3A]. Further, although not particularly shown, the supply pipe 12 may be provided with a pneumatic device, and the pellets p, p,.

  An air vent 15 is provided in the vicinity of the pellet supply port 11a of the cylinder body 11 [see FIG. 1 (A) and FIG. 2 (C)]. As described above, the air vent 15 is formed by the accumulated air when air is accumulated in the cylinder main body 11 with respect to the pellets p, p,... Sent from the supply pipe 12 into the cylinder main body 11. It serves to prevent the pellets p from becoming difficult to enter.

  The air vent part 15 is formed from a large number of small holes 15a, 15a,..., And escapes air accumulated in the cylinder body part 11 to the outside. The small hole 15a constituting the air vent portion 15 is formed sufficiently smaller than the pellet p, and specifically, is a through hole having a diameter of about 1 mm.

  The small holes 15a, 15a,... Of the air vent portion 15 are arranged in the vicinity of the pellet supply port 11a and along the circumferential direction, and it is preferable to open as many as possible [see FIG. ]. Then, when air is accumulated in the cylinder body 11 with respect to a large number of pellets p, p,... Fed into the cylinder body 11 of the cylinder 1, the staying air is transferred to the small holes 15a, The air staying from 15a, ... can be discharged, and a large number of pellets p, p, ... can be easily put at a time.

In addition, since the large number of small holes 15a, 15a,... In the air vent portion 15 reduce the material area for forming the cylinder body portion 11, it is possible to reduce the thermal conductivity and prevent the drive means and the like from reaching a high temperature. Heat dissipation is also good. Further, the large number of small holes 15a, 15a,... In the air vent portion 15 allows the inside of the cylinder main body 11 to be visually observed, and the presence or absence of pellets p, p,. The remaining amount can be observed from the outside (see FIGS. 3A and 3B).

  An outlet member 8 such as a nozzle 81 or a die 82 is attached to one end of the cylinder body 11 in the axial direction (longitudinal direction). As described above, the outlet member 8 includes the nozzle 81 and the die 82. The nozzle 81 can be exchanged so as to change the diameter of the injection portion in accordance with the mold used with the injection apparatus of the present invention. The nozzle 81 includes an injection port 81a and a connecting portion 82b [see FIG. 1 (A)].

  The injection port 81a is formed so as to be narrower than the inner diameter of the cylinder body 11, and is a portion to be inserted into a mold gate (not shown). The connection part 81b of the nozzle 81 and the cylinder body part 11 are detachable with a structure having a screw structure (external screw, internal screw). The material of the nozzle 81 is preferably a material having good thermal conductivity, and specifically, beryllium copper or copper is desirable.

  The die 82 is used to manufacture a long resin product (material). The die 82 is attached directly to the cylinder 1 so as to be close to the vicinity of the fuser 2 of the cylinder 1 with the nozzle 81 removed, and as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a molding hole 82a having an appropriate shape is formed. It is formed. The specific shape of the forming hole 82a is an “L” shape or an “H” shape, but other shapes include a square, a triangle, a circle, or other polygonal shapes.

  The forming hole 82a is formed as a circular opening on the side where the die 82 is attached to the cylinder 1, and is in a state in which the molten pellet p is likely to flow. The forming hole 82a is formed so as to be closer to a desired shape as it goes toward the discharge opening side of the die 82. Specifically, in the molding hole 82a in which the “L” -shaped long resin material is formed, the molding hole 82a gradually becomes “L” -shaped from a circle as it goes from the mounting side to the cylinder 1 toward the outer side. It is formed to have a shape (see FIGS. 9B to 9E).

  Further, in the molding hole 82a in which the “H” -shaped long resin material is formed, the molding hole 82a gradually changes from a circular shape to an “H” shape as it goes from the mounting side to the cylinder 1 toward the outer side. [Refer to FIG. 10B to FIG. 10E] Thus, the die 82 plays a role of manufacturing a long resin shape. That is, long objects having the same cross-sectional shape can be manufactured.

  The melting device 2 has a large number of melting holes 22, 22,... Formed in the device body 21 (see FIGS. 1 and 5). The melter 2 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and more specifically, the vessel main body 21 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The material of the vessel body 21 is preferably a material having a large heat capacity and good heat conduction. Specifically, copper or beryllium copper is used. The container main body 21 is fixed inside the cylinder main body 11 of the cylinder 1 and in the vicinity of the outlet member 8 mounting side (see FIG. 1A).

  Specifically, the main body 21 of the melting device 2 is fixed to the inner peripheral side surface 11b of the cylinder main body 11 by fixing means such as press fitting. In particular, the melter 2 receives a large number of pellets p, p,... Pressed by a group of pellets p, p,. The containers 2 are firmly fixed to each other. The melter 2 is located between the outlet member 8 and the screw 3 in the cylinder body 11 [see FIG. 1 (A)].

  Further, the inner peripheral side surface portion 11b of the cylinder main body 11 and the device main body portion 21 of the melting device 2 are firmly fixed and in close contact with each other, so that the heat conductivity from the cylinder main body portion 11 to the melting device 2 is good. It is assumed that the melting device 2 is rapidly heated through the heating means 6. The vessel main body 21 of the melter 2 is formed in a cylindrical shape as described above, and a large number is provided on the side of the vessel main body 21 that faces the tip 32 that is the tip of the screw 3 described later. The side on which the pellets p, p,... Flow in is referred to as an inflow side surface portion 21a.

  Moreover, the surface on the side opposite to the inflow side surface portion 21a faces the outlet member 8, and the surface on the side from which the molten pellets p, p,... Flow out is referred to as the outflow side surface portion 21b. Moreover, the outer peripheral side surface of the container main body 21 is referred to as a circumferential side surface 21c. The vessel body 21 is cylindrical as described above, and the diameter D2a of the inflow side surface portion 21a and the diameter D2b of the outflow side surface portion 21b are any positions along the axial direction of the circumferential side surface 21c. Is an accurate cylindrical shape having the same diameter (see FIG. 5A). Also, the melting device 2 in FIGS. 1 to 4 has the above exact cylindrical shape.

That is,
D2a = D2b.

  Further, the cylindrical shape in the vessel main body 21 includes a substantially cylindrical shape, and the circumferential side surface 21c is tapered so as to slightly expand from the inflow side surface portion 21a toward the outflow side surface portion 21b. The diameter D2b of 21b may be a truncated cone shape slightly larger than the diameter D2a of the inflow side surface portion 21a (see FIG. 8).

That is,
D2b> D2a
It is.

  Furthermore, although not shown in particular, in the case of the substantially cylindrical shape of the vessel body 21, the circumferential side surface 21c is tapered so that it slightly contracts from the inflow side surface portion 21a toward the outflow side surface portion 21b. The diameter D2a of the inflow side surface portion 21a may be a truncated cone shape that is extremely slightly larger than the diameter D2b of the outflow side surface portion 21b.

  Next, the melting hole 22 is formed along the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the vessel body 21 (see FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 6A). More specifically, the melt hole 22 is a cone-shaped through hole having a tunnel shape or a pipe shape (see FIGS. 5A and 5B). In the melting hole 22, the above-mentioned cone-shaped through-hole is formed so that the cross-sectional shape at a plurality of arbitrary positions orthogonal to the hole forming direction is changed from a wide shape to a narrow shape [FIG. B), (C) and FIG. 6 (A)], specifically, a hole having a gap such as a cone or a pyramid.

  In the present invention, a conical shape is particularly preferable as the conical shape of the melting hole 22, and the diameter is formed so that the diameter gradually decreases from large to small (see FIG. 5). As described above, since the melt hole 22 is a hole having a conical gap, the sizes of the openings at both ends of the melt hole 22 are different. Therefore, the large opening side of the melting hole 22 is referred to as an inflow side large opening 22a into which the pellets p, p,... Flow in [FIG. 1 (C), FIG. 5 (A), (B), FIG. reference〕.

  The small opening side of the melting hole 22 is referred to as an outflow side small opening 22b. That is, the melt hole 22 is a passage that communicates from the inflow side large opening 22a to the outflow side small opening 22b, and the cross section gradually becomes narrower from the inflow side large opening 22a toward the outflow side small opening 22b. The inflow side large opening 22 a is located on the inflow side surface portion 21 a side of the main body portion 21 and faces (or opposes) the distal end portion 32 of the screw 3. Moreover, the outflow side small opening 22b is located in the outflow side part 21b, and faces (or opposes) the outlet member 8 [refer FIG. 1 (A)].

  As described above, the inflow side surface portion 21a of the melter 2 is provided with inflow side large openings 22a, 22a,... Of a large number of melting holes 22, 22,. The pellets p, p,... Face the tip 32 of the screw 3 and flow into the inflow side large opening 22a, and are therefore referred to as the inflow side of the melter 2.

  Further, the outflow side surface 21b of the melter 2 is provided with outflow side small openings 22b, 22b,... Of a large number of melting holes 22, 22,. The pellets p, p,... Flow out from the outflow side small opening 22b facing the 8 side, and are therefore referred to as the outflow side of the melter 2. The inflow side and outflow side of the melter 2 are shown in the drawing.

In the case where the melting hole 22 is a conical hole, the cross-sectional shape of each orthogonal portion along the axial direction (longitudinal direction) is a circular shape (see FIGS. 5C and 6). The inflow side large opening 22a of the melting hole 22 is sized so that one whole pellet p can enter and at least a part (part) of the pellet p can enter. The specific size of the inflow side large opening 22a is a diameter that allows the pellets p, p,.

  Moreover, the outflow side small opening 22b will be in the state which the pellets p, p, ... fuse | melted, and a diameter is about 1 mm. The melting hole 22 has a substantially tapered cross-sectional shape along the axial direction (longitudinal direction). Here, in the figure, the symbol pa is a pellet that is melted and liquefied (see FIGS. 3B, 4B to 4D, and FIG. 6). That is, the pellet p melted and liquefied is referred to as a melted (or liquefied) pellet pa.

  As described above, the shape of the melt hole 22 is a cone shape along the axial direction (longitudinal direction). When the shape is a pyramid shape, the shape may be a quadrangular pyramid shape or a triangular pyramid shape. . There is also a type in which a quadrangular pyramid shape and a conical shape are combined (see FIG. 7). In this type of melting hole 22, the inflow side large opening 22a of the conical melting hole 22 has a substantially polygonal shape, and the outflow side small opening 22b has a circular shape.

  More specifically, the inflow side large opening 22a of the cone-shaped melting hole 22 is formed in a substantially square shape, and the interval between the adjacent inflow side large openings 22a, 22a is formed to be a minimum. [See FIGS. 7A to 7E]. In this embodiment, the part which becomes a boundary of adjacent inflow large opening 22a, 22a will be formed as a substantially linear blade shape (refer FIG.7 (B)), and inflow large opening 22a, 22a which gathers. ,... Constitute a lattice shape (see FIGS. 7A to 7C). Further, the inflow large opening 22a having a substantially polygonal shape has a shape such as a triangle or a hexagon in addition to a square such as a square as described above, and the edges of the adjacent inflow large openings 22a and 22a are parallel and A straight line is preferable.

  In this way, the inflow side large openings 22a are formed in a substantially square shape, and a plurality of inflow side large openings 22a, 22a,... Constitute a substantially lattice shape (see FIGS. 7A to 7C), and adjacent inflow sides. By configuring the boundary between the large openings 22a and 22a to have a substantially straight blade shape, the periphery of each inflow side large opening 22a has a sharp shape, and the pellets p and p that are about to enter the inflow side large opening 22a. ,... Are caught by the blade-shaped part, and are finely broken by the pressing force of the pellets p, p,... Extruded from the screw 3, and are more easily entered by the inflow side large opening 22a [FIG. reference〕.

  Next, the screw 3 is rotated in the axial direction in the cylinder body 11 by the rotation of the external screw shaft 41 of the driving means 4, and a large number of pellets p, p,. .., 22 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). The screw 3 is composed of an outer peripheral side surface portion 31, a distal end portion 32, and a driving end portion 33. One end in the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the outer peripheral side surface portion 31 is formed with a distal end portion 32 that is a front end surface, and the axial direction. A driving end 33 is formed at the other end (longitudinal direction).

  The screw 3 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape by the outer peripheral side surface portion 31, the tip end portion 32, and the driving end portion 33. The tip portion 32 is formed in a flat surface shape. As described above, the screw 3 is accommodated in the cylinder 1 so as to be coaxial. That is, the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the cylinder 1 and the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the screw 3 are the same. The distal end portion 32 of the screw 3 and the inflow side surface portion 21a of the melter 2 are very close to each other, and the distance between them is set to be small, specifically, about 3 mm to 20 mm.

  A spiral guide groove 34 is formed in the outer peripheral side surface 31 of the screw 3. The guide groove 34 is shaped like a spiral portion of a drill with respect to the outer peripheral side surface portion 31. The guide groove 34 is formed as a groove having a concave cross section from the surface of the outer peripheral side surface portion 31 (see FIG. 2C). The guide groove 34 is formed so as to reach the tip 32 of the cylinder 1.

  Further, the guide groove 34 is not formed up to the drive end 33 of the cylinder 1. That is, the pellets p, p,... Do not leak from the drive end 33 of the cylinder 1. A large number of pellets p, p,... Put into the cylinder 1 by the hopper 13 enter the guide groove 34 and are guided to the tip 32 side as the screw 3 rotates [FIG. (See (A)). FIG. 2B is a cross section taken along arrow X2-X2 in FIG. 2A, and the center of the cross section is slightly elliptical, but is a perfect circle in the figure.

  And many pellets p, p, ... are transferred from the drive end 33 side location of the guide groove 34 formed in the distal end portion 32 of the screw 3 to the distal end 32 side location, and further, a large number of pellets p, p,. p,... are extruded toward the inflow side surface portion 21 a of the melter 2. In particular, the guide groove 34 has a flat surface on the side wall 34a near the tip 32, but a wall 34b near the drive end 33 is formed in a concave arc shape (see FIG. 2C). The pellets p, p,... Transferred toward the portion 32 can be fed out while being securely grasped.

  Then, the pellets p, p,... Are pushed into the melting hole 22 from the large inflow side large openings 22a formed in the inflow side surface portion 21a of the melter 2 by the movement of the screw 3 to the melter 2 side. It flows in (see FIGS. 3 and 4). The material of the screw 3 is iron or stainless steel, and is not limited to these materials. Any material may be used as long as it satisfies heat resistance and durability.

The screw 3 is the same as the inner diameter D1 of the cylinder 1. In other words, the inner diameter D1 of the inner peripheral surface part 11b of the cylinder 1, and the diameter D2a of the inflow side portion 21a of the melter 2, the diameter D3 of the tip portion 32 of the screw 3, the same (including substantially the same) [ See FIG. 2A]. Actually, the screw 3 is a cylindrical body having the same diameter from one end to the other end in the axial direction (longitudinal direction). However, the screw 3 rotates in the cylinder 1, and there is a relationship of a fitting structure that is a gap fitting, but in the present invention, the diameter D3 of the tip 32 of the screw 3 in the fitting structure and The inner diameter D2 of the cylinder 1 is in the substantially same range.

That is,
D1 = D2a = D3
[See FIG. 2 (A)].

  The inner diameter D1 of the cylinder 1 is unchanged. That is, the cylinder 1 does not have a portion where the inner periphery expands outward (see FIGS. 1A and 1C). Therefore, a large number of pellets p, p,... Between the melter 2 and the screw 3 are all sent to the melter 2 without waste by the tip 32 of the screw 3, and the pellets p, p are sent to the melter 2. , ... comes in.

  The drive means 4 includes an external screw shaft 41, a motor drive unit 42, and a speed reduction unit 43 (see FIGS. 1A, 2A, and 2C). The external screw shaft 41 and the motor drive unit 42 are connected via the speed reduction unit 43, and the external screw shaft 41 is rotated by driving the motor drive unit 42. The speed reduction unit 43 is a planetary gear mechanism or the like, and reduces the rotational speed of the motor drive unit 42 to about (1/5) to (1/10) and increases the rotational force. By controlling the input current of the motor drive unit 42, the injection pressure, the injection amount, and the injection speed are controlled. A portion of the outer screw shaft 41 inserted into the speed reducing portion 43 is formed with a gear that meshes with the planetary gear.

  The drive shaft 41 of the drive means 4 is disposed at a position that is the center of the diameter of the cylinder body 11 by a bearing 44 fixed in the cylinder body 11. The drive shaft 41 is fixed to the bearing 44 by a fixing nut 45 (see FIGS. 1A and 2A).

  As for the motor drive part 42, the motor housing 42a is fixed to the axial direction (longitudinal direction) end part of the cylinder main-body part 11 of the cylinder 1 with fixing tools, such as a screw. Further, a heat insulating material may be attached between the motor housing 42 a and the cylinder body 11. The heat insulating material serves to prevent the heat of the cylinder body 11 from being transmitted to the motor driving unit 42 of the driving means 4 and is made of ceramic or the like.

  The heating means 6 serves to heat the melter 2 fixed in the cylinder body 11 of the cylinder 1. Specifically, the heating means 6 is preferably an electromagnetic induction device, that is, an IH (induction heating) coil, in which an IH coil is wound around a heat insulating material coil bobbin made of resin or ceramic.

  The bobbin shape is set so that the distance between the IH coil and the outer peripheral side surface of the cylinder body 11 is optimal. The input power is preferably variable from 0 to 1 Kw by the control device. A thermocouple is attached to the cylinder 1 so that the temperature of the cylinder 1 can be set to a set value. As another type of the heating means 6, a band heater may be used. Furthermore, the heating means 6 is not limited to that described above, and any other heating device that can be used in the present invention may be used.

  The cylinder 1 is provided with an exhaust hole 7 so as to be positioned between the tip end portion 32 of the screw 3 and the inflow side surface portion 21 a of the melter 2. Thus, even if the pressure of the air accumulated between the tip 32 of the screw 3 and the inflow side surface 21a of the melter 2 rises, the air can be discharged from the exhaust hole 7 [FIG. )reference〕.

  Therefore, a large number of pellets p, p,... Can be fed into the melting hole 22 of the melting device 2 without waste. An intake pipe 71 is attached to the exhaust hole 7 and may be connected to a vacuum pump, whereby forced exhaust is performed and the inside of the cylinder 1 can be evacuated. Further, a mesh member 72 is attached to the exhaust hole 7 so that the pellets p, p,... Can be prevented from leaking from the exhaust hole 7 (see FIG. 3D). Thereby, the exhaust hole 7 can be made larger than the pellet p, and exhaust can be performed in a short time.

  As described above, the outer shape of the cylinder 1 has been described as an ellipse or a triangle. However, another shape may be used as necessary. For example, when the number of the melters 2 and the screws 3 is four or more, they may be quadrangular, pentagonal, or more.

  Next, the operation of the injection apparatus of the present invention will be described mainly based on FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. The initial position of the screw 3 before operation is located on the drive means 4 mounting side in the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the cylinder body 11 [see FIG. 1 (A)]. The screw 3 has a driving end 33 of the screw 3 connected to a driving shaft 41.

  In this state, the pellet supply port 11a of the cylinder body 11 is in an open state without the outer peripheral side surface 31 of the screw 3 (see FIG. 1A). Then, a large number of pellets p, p,... Are fed from the hopper 13 and passed through the supply pipe 12 to be fed into the cylinder body 11 from the pellet supply port 11a [FIG. See A)].

  When the motor drive unit 42 of the drive unit 4 is started, the drive shaft 41 is rotated, and the screw 3 is rotated by the drive shaft 41 and starts to operate. The screw 3 rotates so that the guide groove 34 formed in the screw 3 transfers the pellets p, p,... From the driving means 4 side toward the melter 2 side. That is, the screw 3 is rotated so that the spiral guide groove 34 moves to the melter 2 side as seen from the side. At the same time, the melting device 2 is heated by the heating means 6 to a temperature at which the pellets p, p,... Are melted.

In this way, a large number of pellets p, p,... Extruded from the tip 32 by the rotation of the screw 3 enter the melt holes 22, 22,... From the large inflow side large openings 22a, 22a,. [See FIGS. 4A, 4B, 6A, 6B]. As described above, the inflow side large opening 22a has such a size that at least a part (part) of each pellet p enters. In general, the inflow side large opening 22a has such a size that the entire average size pellet p enters the inflow side large opening 22a [FIGS. 5C and 6A].
(See (B)).

  Each of the pellets p, p,... Entering the melting holes 22, 22,... Is pressed toward the outflow side small opening 22b by the pellets p, p,. (See (C)). As described above, the melting device 2 is maintained at a temperature at which the pellets p are melted via the heating unit 6.

Therefore, the pellet p entering from the inflow side large opening 22a melts toward the center of the pellet p as it moves from the inflow side large opening 22a toward the outflow side small opening 22b [FIGS. ) To (E)]. The pellet p is set so that the periphery of the pellet p is substantially evenly surrounded by the inner peripheral wall surface of the melting hole 22 in an initial state where the pellet p starts to enter the large opening 22a [FIG. C), see FIGS. 6B to 6D].

  As the pellet p moves through the melting hole 22 toward the outflow side small opening 22b, the size is gradually reduced while being melted [FIGS. 5C, 6B to 6E]. Etc.]. Even if the pellet p moves while melting toward the outflow side small opening 22b side, the melting hole 22 is gradually narrowed, so that the periphery of the pellet p that has been melted and reduced is uniformly surrounded. [See FIGS. 6B to 6E]. Therefore, the pellet p is melted quickly.

  That is, the periphery of each pellet p is substantially uniformly surrounded by the inner wall surface of the melting hole 22 and always maintains a state of being close to or in contact with the inner wall surface [FIGS. 6 (A), (B) to (E). )reference〕. Then, as the melting of the pellet p proceeds, it further proceeds to a narrow portion of the melting hole 22 to promote the melting of the pellet p. Moreover, since the pellet p is melted and liquefied inside the melting hole 22, the melting of the pellet p fed later is further promoted by the heat of the already liquefied pellet pa [FIG. reference〕.

In this way, the pellet p is discharged from the inflow side large opening 22a of the melting hole 22 to the outflow side small opening 2a.
As it goes to 2b, the melting proceeds, and in the vicinity of the outflow side small opening 22b, the melting is completed and completely liquefied (see FIG. 4D). The pellet p becomes a pellet pa in a completely liquefied state, is sent out from the outflow side small opening 22b to the outlet member 8, and is injected into the mold from the injection port 14a.

  As described above, the pellet p that is pressed by the screw 3 and enters from the inflow side large opening 22a of the melting hole 22 is always surrounded by the inner peripheral wall surface of the melting hole 22 in the process toward the outflow side small opening 22b. It is in the state. Therefore, the melting of the pellet p is performed reliably and quickly through the heating means 6, and the injection work into the mold can be performed very efficiently.

  Since a large number of pellets p, p,... Can be melted only in a necessary amount, the material is not exposed to thermal and mechanical stress in the cylinder body 11 for a long time. Therefore, a high-quality resin molded product can be obtained. In addition, the injection apparatus according to the present invention has high melting efficiency and does not require the addition of more materials than necessary, so that the entire apparatus is miniaturized, saving power and resources. In addition, the fact that the high temperature state of the resin can be shortened to the minimum time by achieving the injection proper temperature and the maximum temperature in the final melting process immediately before injection can also achieve high quality resin molding.

  FIG. 9 is a comparison between the present invention and the prior art. From the outflow side of the melter 22 in the melter 2 of the present invention (see FIG. 9A), the melt hole 22 is not formed. It is shown that the thickness of this part is formed larger than the prior art (patent document 2) [refer FIG. 9 (B)]. Therefore, as it approaches the outflow side small opening 22b of the melter 2 in the present invention, the heat capacity is larger than the heat capacity of the heating cylinder of the prior art (Patent Document 2), so that the molten state of the pellets p, p,. And the temperature drop of the melted pellets p, p,... Can be suppressed.

  With such a configuration, in the final melting process immediately before the injection when the molten resin reaches the outflow side small opening, the high temperature state of the resin can be shortened to the minimum time because the molten resin becomes the injection appropriate temperature and the maximum temperature, It shows that high-quality resin molding can be performed. In the prior art, since the wall thickness on the outflow side of the through hole in the heating cylinder is small, the heat capacity is small, and the molten resin does not reach the optimum injection temperature and the maximum temperature, and it is difficult to perform high-quality resin molding.

  A plurality of sets of the melter 2 and the screw 3 of the present invention may be provided. That is, in the present invention, normally, one melter 2 and one screw 3 are paired to form one set, and the cylinder 1 is equipped with one set of the melter 2 and the screw 3. [See FIG. 1 (A)]. On the other hand, there exists an embodiment in which a plurality of sets of the melter 2 and the screw 3 are attached to one cylinder 1 (see FIGS. 11 and 12). These plural sets are arranged in parallel in the cylinder 1 [see FIG. 11 (A), FIG. 12 (A)].

  First, an embodiment in which two sets of the melter 2 and the screw 3 are provided in the cylinder 1 will be described (see FIG. 11). In this embodiment, two gaps 11c and 11c are formed in the cylinder 1 in parallel. And the group which consists of the fuser 2 and the screw 3 is each mounted | worn in parallel with both the space | gap part 11c, 11c [refer FIG. 11 (A) thru | or (C)].

  The hopper 13 is branched and connected to both the gaps 11c and 11c [see FIG. 11 (B)]. And in the vicinity of the outlet member 8 mounting side of the cylinder 1, the outflow side surfaces 21b, 21b of both the melters 2, 2 are exposed in the cylinder 1, and the molten pellets p, p,. Are mixed and can be sent out from the outlet member 8 (see FIG. 11D).

  Next, an embodiment in which three sets of the melter 2 and the screw 3 are provided in the cylinder 1 will be described (see FIG. 12). In this embodiment, the cylinder 1 is formed in parallel so that the three gaps 11c, 11c,... Have a triangular shape (or a rice ball shape). Then, three sets of the melter 2 and the screw 3 are mounted in parallel in all the gaps 11c, 11c,... (See FIGS. 12A to 12C).

  The hopper 13 is branched and connected to all the gaps 11c, 11c,... [See FIG. In the vicinity of the outlet member 8 mounting side of the cylinder 1, the outflow side surfaces 21 b, 21 b,... Of all the melters 2, 2,. The pellets p, p,... Are mixed and can be sent out from the outlet member 8 (see FIG. 12D).

  In the injection device according to the present invention, the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the cylinder 1 is installed vertically, but may be installed horizontally. In particular, when injection molding is performed on a large mold, it may be arranged horizontally.
