Description

本発明は、スチレン系エラストマなどを代表とする粘弾性樹脂成形品の成形装置および粘弾性樹脂成形品の成形方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a molding apparatus for a viscoelastic resin molded product typified by a styrene elastomer and a method for molding a viscoelastic resin molded product.

この種の粘弾性樹脂成形品の成形技術に関連する先行技術文献情報として下記に示す特許文献1がある。
特許文献1では、ベッドやソファの中に設置するクッション材としてゼラチン状などの粘弾性エラストマなどの樹脂成形体を使用することで、従来の金属製スプリングなどで見られた圧力集中を除去し、より広い表面にクッション効能を分配させたりして心地良さを達成し得ることが記載されている。
As prior art document information related to the molding technology of this type of viscoelastic resin molded product, there is Patent Document 1 shown below.
In Patent Document 1, by using a resin molded body such as a gelatin-like viscoelastic elastomer as a cushioning material to be installed in a bed or sofa, pressure concentration seen with a conventional metal spring is removed, It is described that comfort can be achieved by distributing cushioning effects over a wider surface.

また、この種の粘弾性樹脂成形品の成形技術に関連する別の先行技術文献情報として下記に示す特許文献2がある。特許文献2では、特許文献1に記述されている類の粘弾性エラストマが著しく軟質で変形し易く、且つ、粘着性を有するために、従来の突き出しピンなどでは脱型が困難である点を解決するための一つの方法が提案されている。この方法では、製造ラインを、混練機から約120℃の粘弾性樹脂材料を筒状型に圧入するゾーンと、粘弾性樹脂材料を筒状型に入ったままで200℃以下の高温に保持するゾーンと、粘弾性樹脂材料を筒状型に入ったままで約100℃まで空冷するゾーンと、最後に粘弾性樹脂材料を筒状型から脱型するゾーンとで構成し、これらの各ゾーンに沿って多数の筒状型をコンベアによって順次移動させている。尚、このように冷却後に脱型が行われるのは、高温のまま粘弾性樹脂を脱型すると保形性が不足して所望の形状の粘弾性樹脂成形品が得られないためである。   Further, there is Patent Document 2 shown below as another prior art document information related to the molding technology of this type of viscoelastic resin molded product. In Patent Document 2, the viscoelastic elastomer described in Patent Document 1 is remarkably soft and easily deformed, and because it has adhesiveness, it is difficult to remove the mold with a conventional protruding pin. One way to do this has been proposed. In this method, the production line is divided into a zone in which a viscoelastic resin material of about 120 ° C. is pressed into a cylindrical mold from a kneader, and a zone in which the viscoelastic resin material is kept at a high temperature of 200 ° C. or less while remaining in the cylindrical mold. And a zone in which the viscoelastic resin material is air-cooled to about 100 ° C. while remaining in the cylindrical mold, and finally a zone in which the viscoelastic resin material is removed from the cylindrical mold, and along each of these zones A large number of cylindrical molds are sequentially moved by a conveyor. The reason why the mold is removed after cooling as described above is that when the viscoelastic resin is removed at a high temperature, the shape retention is insufficient and a viscoelastic resin molded product having a desired shape cannot be obtained.

特表2001−514912(12頁3−20行、図3、図6)Special table 2001-514912 (page 12, lines 3-20, FIG. 3, FIG. 6) 特開2005−096239号公報(0039段落、図1、図7)Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-096239 (paragraph 0039, FIGS. 1 and 7)

しかし、特許文献2に記された粘弾性樹脂成形品の成形方法では、多数の筒状型を同時に搬送する複数のゾーンを設ける必要があるため、仮に各ゾーンを環状に連続配置した場合でも、製造ラインが大きな占有面積を必要とする傾向があった。しかも、製造ラインの製造能力を高めるためには、筒状型の数を増す必要があるため、個々のゾーンも大型化する必要があった。また、外径または長さなど形状の異なる複数種類の粘弾性樹脂成形品を製造するためには、互いに形状の異なる多数の筒状型を別途用意しておく必要があるという問題も見られた。さらに、基本的に各ゾーンには粘弾性樹脂を処理中の複数の筒状型が存在するため、粘弾性樹脂成形品の形状変更が必要な場合には、全ての筒状型が入れ替わるまでには、最初の圧入ゾーンにあった筒状型が順次移動して最後の脱型ゾーンで処理を受けるまでの長い時間が必要であった。   However, in the method for molding a viscoelastic resin molded article described in Patent Document 2, it is necessary to provide a plurality of zones for simultaneously conveying a large number of cylindrical dies, so even if each zone is continuously arranged annularly, Production lines tended to require a large footprint. In addition, in order to increase the production capacity of the production line, it is necessary to increase the number of cylindrical molds, and thus it is necessary to increase the size of each zone. In addition, in order to produce a plurality of types of viscoelastic resin molded products having different shapes such as outer diameter or length, there was a problem that it was necessary to separately prepare a large number of cylindrical dies having different shapes. . Furthermore, since there are basically a plurality of cylindrical molds that are processing viscoelastic resin in each zone, if it is necessary to change the shape of the viscoelastic resin molded product, all the cylindrical molds are replaced. It took a long time for the cylindrical mold in the first press-fitting zone to move sequentially and to receive treatment in the last demolding zone.

そこで、本発明の目的は、上に例示した従来技術による粘弾性樹脂成形品の連続成形方法が与える課題に鑑み、製造ラインの占有面積が比較的小さくて済み、製造ラインの製造能力を高める際にも、占有面積を余り大型化する必要のない粘弾性樹脂成形品の成形装置および成形方法を提供することにある。   Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to increase the production capacity of the production line by taking up a relatively small area of the production line in view of the problems given by the continuous molding method of viscoelastic resin molded products according to the prior art exemplified above. Another object of the present invention is to provide a molding apparatus and a molding method for a viscoelastic resin molded product that do not require an excessively large occupied area.

本発明の他の目的は、形状の異なる複数種類の粘弾性樹脂成形品を製造する場合に新たに必要となる設備が比較的少なくて済む粘弾性樹脂成形品の成形装置および成形方法を提供することにある。   Another object of the present invention is to provide a molding apparatus and a molding method for a viscoelastic resin molded product that requires relatively little equipment when manufacturing a plurality of types of viscoelastic resin molded products having different shapes. There is.

本発明の他の目的は、粘弾性樹脂成形品の形状変更が、比較的短い時間で完了する粘弾性樹脂成形品の連続成形装置および粘弾性樹脂成形品の連続成形方法を提供することにある。   Another object of the present invention is to provide a viscoelastic resin molded article continuous molding apparatus and a viscoelastic resin molded article continuous molding method in which the shape change of the viscoelastic resin molded article is completed in a relatively short time. .

本発明による粘弾性樹脂成形品の連続成形装置の特徴構成は、
スチレン系エラストマとパラフィン系プロセスオイルとを含む粘弾性樹脂材料を所定の断面形状に押出し成形するダイス部と、
装入された前記粘弾性樹脂材料を前記ダイス部に向けて一定の速度で送り出す定量搬送装置と、
前記定量搬送装置によって送り出された前記粘弾性樹脂材料を温度調整しつつ密閉状態で前記ダイス部に搬送する温調搬送部と、を備え、
前記温調搬送部は、前記温調搬送部の内部で搬送される前記粘弾性樹脂材料の外周面を前記温調搬送部の外周に配置された加熱手段によって加熱する加熱温調部と、前記加熱温調部によって加熱された前記粘弾性樹脂材料を放冷するべく前記加熱温調部の下流側に配置された放冷温調部とを有し、
前記加熱手段は、前記加熱温調部内における外周部位の前記粘弾性樹脂材料の温度を、前記ダイス部から排出された成形品が前記ダイス部の内面に層状に付着しない範囲で最も低い離型性下限温度よりも高くなるように設定し、
前記放冷温調部は、前記ダイス部の出口の外周に位置する前記粘弾性樹脂材料が前記離型性下限温度よりも高い温度となり、前記ダイス部の出口の径方向に関する中心側に位置する前記粘弾性樹脂材料が、前記成形品の断面形状を保持可能な範囲で最も高い保形性上限温度よりも低い温度となるように構成され、
前記ダイス部の下流側には、前記ダイス部から押出された前記粘弾性樹脂材料を所定の長さで切断するカッター装置を備えた点にある。
The characteristic configuration of the continuous molding apparatus of the viscoelastic resin molded product according to the present invention is:
A die portion for extruding a viscoelastic resin material containing a styrene-based elastomer and a paraffin-based process oil into a predetermined cross-sectional shape;
Quantitative conveying device for feeding at a constant speed of the viscoelastic resin material charged toward the die unit,
And a temperature control conveyance unit for conveying the die unit in a sealed state while the temperature adjusts the viscoelastic resin material fed by the quantitative transporting device,
The temperature control conveyor section has a heating temperature control unit for heating by the heating means to the outer peripheral surface disposed on the outer periphery of the temperature control conveyor section of the viscoelastic resin material to be conveyed inside the temperature control conveyor section, wherein have a said heating cold tone portion release disposed on the downstream side of the temperature control unit in order to cool the viscoelastic resin material heated by the heating temperature control unit,
The heating means has the lowest releasability within the range in which the molded product discharged from the die part does not adhere to the inner surface of the die part in a layered manner, the temperature of the viscoelastic resin material at the outer peripheral part in the heating temperature control part Set it to be higher than the minimum temperature,
The cooling temperature adjusting unit is located on the center side in the radial direction of the outlet of the die part, and the viscoelastic resin material located on the outer periphery of the outlet of the die part has a temperature higher than the lower limit temperature of the releasability. The viscoelastic resin material is configured to have a temperature lower than the highest shape retention upper limit temperature within a range in which the cross-sectional shape of the molded product can be maintained,
On the downstream side of the die portion, a cutter device for cutting the viscoelastic resin material extruded from the die portion with a predetermined length is provided .

上記の特徴構成による粘弾性樹脂成形品の連続成形装置では、定量搬送装置とダイス部の間に密閉状の温調搬送部を設け、同温調搬送部を、内部で搬送される粘弾性樹脂材料を外周に配置された加熱手段によって加熱する加熱温調部と、加熱された粘弾性樹脂材料を放冷する放冷温調部とで構成したことで、ダイスなどの内面に特殊なコーティング処理などを施すことなく粘弾性樹脂成形品をダイスから円滑に排出させること、及び、排出直後にも十分な保形性を有する粘弾性樹脂成形品とすることを同時に実現可能になったため、連続的な押出し成形が可能となった。したがって、多数の筒状型を同時に搬送する複数のゾーンを設ける必要がないため、製造ラインの占有面積が小さくて済み、製造ラインの製造能力を高める際にも、占有面積を大型化する必要性が減った。   In the continuous molding apparatus for a viscoelastic resin molded product having the above-described characteristic configuration, a sealed temperature control conveyance unit is provided between the quantitative conveyance device and the die part, and the temperature control conveyance unit is viscoelastic resin conveyed inside. A special coating treatment is applied to the inner surface of dies, etc., because it is composed of a heating temperature control unit that heats the material by heating means arranged on the outer periphery and a cooling temperature control unit that cools the heated viscoelastic resin material. It is now possible to smoothly discharge the viscoelastic resin molded product from the die without applying the squeeze, and to achieve a viscoelastic resin molded product having sufficient shape retention even immediately after the discharge. Extrusion molding became possible. Therefore, since it is not necessary to provide multiple zones for simultaneously transporting a large number of cylindrical dies, the occupation area of the production line can be reduced, and the need to increase the occupation area when increasing the production capacity of the production line. Decreased.

また、上記の特徴構成による粘弾性樹脂成形品の連続成形装置では、形状の異なる複数種類の粘弾性樹脂成形品を製造したい場合にも、内面の寸法や形状の異なるダイスに変更するだけで粘弾性樹脂成形品の形状を変更できるので、従来のように、形状の異なる多数の筒状型などの新たに必要となる設備が少なくて済む。   In addition, in the continuous molding apparatus for viscoelastic resin molded products having the above-described characteristic configuration, even when it is desired to manufacture a plurality of types of viscoelastic resin molded products having different shapes, it is only necessary to change the die to a die having different inner dimensions and shapes. Since the shape of the elastic resin molded product can be changed, the number of newly required facilities such as a large number of cylindrical dies having different shapes can be reduced as in the prior art.

さらに、上記の特徴構成による粘弾性樹脂成形品の連続成形装置では、形状の異なる複数種類の粘弾性樹脂成形品を製造したい場合に、内面の寸法や形状の異なるダイスに変更するだけでよいので、粘弾性樹脂成形品の形状変更が短い時間で完了する。   Furthermore, in the continuous molding apparatus for viscoelastic resin molded products having the above-described characteristic configuration, when it is desired to manufacture a plurality of types of viscoelastic resin molded products having different shapes, it is only necessary to change to a die having different inner dimensions and shapes. The shape change of the viscoelastic resin molded product is completed in a short time.

特にベッドやソファの中に設置するクッション材として適切な性状の粘弾性樹脂材料は、一般に、高温になるほど粘性が低下する特性に基づいて、ダイス部から排出された成形品がダイス部の断面形状を保持可能な範囲で最も高い保形性上限温度、及び、成形品がダイス部の内面に層状に付着しない範囲で最も低い離型性下限温度を有する。しかし、本構成であれば、所定の能力の加熱手段を備えた加熱温調部、及び、ダイス部の出口の外周に位置する粘弾性樹脂材料が離型性下限温度よりも高い温度とし、ダイス部の出口の径方向に関する中心側に位置する粘弾性樹脂材料が保形性上限温度よりも低い温度とする放冷温調部を設けることで、ダイスから円滑に排出され、カッターによって目的の長さに切断する時にも断面形状が崩れ難く、しかも、排出直後にも十分な保形性を有する粘弾性樹脂成形品を十分に安定した状態で製造することが可能となった。   In particular, viscoelastic resin materials with suitable properties as cushioning materials installed in beds and sofas generally have a cross-sectional shape of the die part that is discharged from the die part based on the property that the viscosity decreases as the temperature rises. Has the highest shape-retaining upper limit temperature in a range in which the mold can be held, and the lowest releasability lower limit temperature in the range in which the molded product does not adhere to the inner surface of the die part in a layered manner. However, with this configuration, the heating temperature control unit having heating means with a predetermined capability, and the viscoelastic resin material positioned on the outer periphery of the outlet of the die unit have a temperature higher than the releasable lower limit temperature, The viscoelastic resin material located on the center side with respect to the radial direction of the outlet of the part is provided with a cooling temperature control part that is lower than the shape retention upper limit temperature, so that it can be smoothly discharged from the die and the target length by the cutter In addition, it is possible to produce a viscoelastic resin molded article having a sufficiently stable shape even after being discharged in a sufficiently stable state even when cut into pieces.

本発明の他の特徴構成は、
原料となる前記粘弾性樹脂材料を装入するためのホッパと、前記ホッパに装入された前記粘弾性樹脂材料を前記定量搬送装置へ搬送する押出機とが設けられており、
前記押出機による搬送速度は、前記定量搬送装置の上流側で前記粘弾性樹脂材料が受ける圧力が、前記定量搬送装置の下流側で前記粘弾性樹脂材料が受ける圧力を超えるように設定されている点にある。
Another feature of the present invention is as follows:
A hopper for charging the viscoelastic resin material as a raw material, and the extruder is provided for conveying the viscoelastic resin material charged into the hopper into the quantitative transfer apparatus,
Conveying speed of the extruder, the pressure of the viscoelastic resin material undergoes upstream of the quantitative transfer apparatus is set to exceed the pressure viscoelastic resin material undergoes downstream of the quantitative transfer apparatus In the point.

本構成であれば、定量搬送装置と押出機との間に位置する粘弾性樹脂材料が一定の高圧条件下で搬送されることで、粘弾性樹脂材料に含まれる気泡どうしが一体化しながら上流側に移動し、最終的にホッパから機外に放出されるため、定量搬送装置よりも下流側の粘弾性樹脂材料は気泡の少ない高密度の状態となり、ダイス部からは物性の安定した粘弾性樹脂成形品が排出される。   With this configuration, the viscoelastic resin material positioned between the quantitative conveyance device and the extruder is conveyed under a constant high pressure condition, so that the bubbles contained in the viscoelastic resin material are integrated with each other upstream. The viscoelastic resin material on the downstream side of the quantitative conveyance device is in a high-density state with few bubbles, and the viscoelastic resin with stable physical properties from the die part. The molded product is discharged.

本発明による粘弾性樹脂成形品の連続成形方法の特徴構成は、
上述した連続成形装置を用いて、前記粘弾性樹脂材料を前記所定の断面形状を備えた樹脂成形品として連続的に押出し成形する点にある。
The characteristic configuration of the continuous molding method of the viscoelastic resin molded product according to the present invention is:
Using the above-described continuous molding device, continuously it lies in extruding the viscoelastic resin material as the resin molded article having a predetermined cross-sectional shape.

上記の特徴構成による粘弾性樹脂成形品の連続成形方法では、量搬送装置とダイス部の間に密閉状の温調搬送部を設け、同温調搬送部を、外周に配置された加熱手段によって内部の粘弾性樹脂材料を加熱する加熱温調部と、加熱された粘弾性樹脂材料を放冷する放冷温調部とで構成したことで、粘弾性樹脂成形品をダイスから円滑に排出させること、及び、排出直後にも十分な保形性を有する粘弾性樹脂成形品とすることを同時に実現可能になったため、連続的な押出し成形が可能となった。したがって、多数の筒状型を同時に搬送する複数のゾーンを設ける必要がないため、製造ラインの占有面積が小さくて済み、製造ラインの製造能力を高める際にも、占有面積を余り大型化する必要がなくなった。同様に、形状の異なる複数種類の粘弾性樹脂成形品を製造したい場合にも、形状の異なる多数の筒状型などの新たに必要となる設備が少なくて済む、粘弾性樹脂成形品の形状変更が短い時間で完了する、などの利点も得られる。 In the continuous molding method of the viscoelastic resin molded article according to the above characteristic structure, the provided sealing-like temperature control conveyor section between the constant amount transport device and a die portion, a heating means for the same temperature control conveyor section, which is disposed on the outer periphery The viscoelastic resin molded product can be smoothly discharged from the die by comprising a heating temperature control unit that heats the internal viscoelastic resin material and a cooling temperature control unit that cools the heated viscoelastic resin material. In addition, since it became possible to simultaneously achieve a viscoelastic resin molded product having sufficient shape retention immediately after discharge, continuous extrusion molding was possible. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a plurality of zones for simultaneously transporting a large number of cylindrical molds, so that the occupation area of the production line can be reduced, and the occupation area needs to be increased even when the production capacity of the production line is increased. Is gone. Similarly, if you want to manufacture multiple types of viscoelastic resin molded products with different shapes, you can change the shape of the viscoelastic resin molded products with fewer new facilities such as a large number of cylindrical molds with different shapes. Can be obtained in a short time.

以下に本発明を実施するための形態について図面を参照しながら説明する。
(連続成形装置の概略構成)
図1に示す粘弾性樹脂成形品の連続成形装置1は、主に、装入された粘弾性樹脂材料Aを軸心方向に沿って押出す押出機3と、押出機3によって送り出された粘弾性樹脂材料Aを更に下流側に一定の速度で送り出すギヤポンプ5(定量搬送装置の一例)と、ギヤポンプ5によって送り出された粘弾性樹脂材料Aを温度調整しつつ密閉状態で下流側に搬送する温調搬送部6と、温調搬送部6を経て送られた粘弾性樹脂材料を所定の断面形状に押出し成形するためのダイス部7とが概して水平姿勢で直列状に接続された構造を備える。
EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Below, the form for implementing this invention is demonstrated, referring drawings.
(Schematic configuration of continuous molding equipment)
A viscoelastic resin molded article continuous molding apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1 mainly includes an extruder 3 that extrudes a charged viscoelastic resin material A along an axial direction, and a viscosity that is fed by the extruder 3. A gear pump 5 (an example of a quantitative conveyance device) that sends the elastic resin material A further downstream at a constant speed, and a temperature at which the viscoelastic resin material A sent by the gear pump 5 is conveyed to the downstream side in a sealed state while adjusting the temperature. A control unit 6 and a die unit 7 for extruding the viscoelastic resin material sent through the temperature control unit 6 into a predetermined cross-sectional shape are generally connected in series in a horizontal posture.

ダイス部7の下流側には、ダイス部7から押出されてきた粘弾性樹脂成形体Bを所定の長さで切断して粘弾性樹脂成形品B′とするためのカッター装置8と、切断して得られた粘弾性樹脂成形品B′をダイス部7から更に下流側に離間させるためのベルトコンベア9とが配置されている。カッター装置8としては、横向きに張架された1本の鋼線8AをモータM3とクランク装置(不図示)によって上下方向に移動させる鋼線式カッターなどが用いられる。   On the downstream side of the die portion 7, a cutter device 8 for cutting the viscoelastic resin molded body B extruded from the die portion 7 with a predetermined length into a viscoelastic resin molded product B ′, and cutting A belt conveyor 9 for separating the viscoelastic resin molded product B ′ obtained in this manner from the die portion 7 further downstream is disposed. As the cutter device 8, a steel wire cutter that moves one steel wire 8 </ b> A stretched sideways in the vertical direction by a motor M <b> 3 and a crank device (not shown) is used.

(粘弾性樹脂材料の構成)
粘弾性樹脂材料Aとしては、スチレン系エラストマとパラフィン系プロセスオイルとを混練したものを用い、他に適量の老化防止剤や増量剤が添加される。スチレン系エラストマとパラフィン系プロセスオイルとの使用割合は特に限定されないが、ここでは、ダイス部7から排出される粘弾性樹脂成形体Bをベッドなどのクッション材として使用することを想定して、パラフィン系プロセスオイルの割合を70%以上とする。
(Configuration of viscoelastic resin material)
As the viscoelastic resin material A, a material obtained by kneading a styrene elastomer and a paraffinic process oil is used, and an appropriate amount of an antiaging agent and an extender are added to the viscoelastic resin material A. The use ratio of the styrene-based elastomer and the paraffin-based process oil is not particularly limited. Here, it is assumed that the viscoelastic resin molded body B discharged from the die portion 7 is used as a cushioning material such as a bed. The ratio of the system process oil is 70% or more.

この粘弾性樹脂材料Aは、基本的に著しく軟質で変形し易く、粘着性を有し、且つ、高温になるほど粘性が低下する特性を備える。その結果、仮にダイス部7から排出される粘弾性樹脂成形体の外周面付近の温度が約120℃以下であれば、ダイス部7の内面に層状に付着する傾向が現れて、外周面に鱗状の凹凸部が形成されるため、外観が滑らかな円柱状の製品が獲得できない傾向が見られる。逆に、仮にダイス部7から排出される粘弾性樹脂成形体の中心付近の温度が約160℃以上であれば、ダイス部7から排出された成形品が十分な保形性を示し得ず、自重で崩れるために、所望の外径を備えた正規の円柱状の製品が獲得できない傾向が見られる。   This viscoelastic resin material A is basically extremely soft and easily deformed, has adhesiveness, and has a characteristic that the viscosity decreases as the temperature increases. As a result, if the temperature in the vicinity of the outer peripheral surface of the viscoelastic resin molded body discharged from the die portion 7 is about 120 ° C. or less, a tendency to adhere to the inner surface of the die portion 7 appears, and the outer peripheral surface has a scale-like shape. Therefore, there is a tendency that a cylindrical product with a smooth appearance cannot be obtained. Conversely, if the temperature near the center of the viscoelastic resin molded body discharged from the die portion 7 is about 160 ° C. or higher, the molded product discharged from the die portion 7 cannot show sufficient shape retention, Since it collapses by its own weight, there is a tendency that a regular cylindrical product having a desired outer diameter cannot be obtained.

ここでは、ダイス部7から排出される成形体の外周部位がダイス部7の内面に層状に付着しない範囲で最も低い粘弾性樹脂材料Aの温度(離型性下限温度)を約125℃としておく。
また、ダイス部7から排出された成形品が十分な保形性を示し、所望の外径を備えた正規の円柱状の製品が獲得できる範囲で最も高い粘弾性樹脂材料Aの温度(保形性上限温度)を約155℃としておく。
Here, the lowest temperature (releasing mold release temperature) of the viscoelastic resin material A is set to about 125 ° C. within a range where the outer peripheral portion of the molded body discharged from the die portion 7 does not adhere to the inner surface of the die portion 7 in a layered manner. .
In addition, the molded article discharged from the die portion 7 exhibits sufficient shape retention, and the highest temperature of the viscoelastic resin material A within the range in which a regular cylindrical product having a desired outer diameter can be obtained (shape retention). The upper limit temperature is about 155 ° C.

(押出機からギヤポンプまでの構成)
原料となる粘弾性樹脂材料Aを押出機3のホッパ3Cに装入するための方法は特に限定されないが、図1に例示するように、連続成形装置1と隣接する位置に、粘弾性樹脂材料Aを加熱混練し、順次バッチ式でホッパ3Cに供給するための樹脂材料供給装置20を配設してもよい。ここでは、概して室温と同温度の粘弾性樹脂材料Aがホッパ3Cに供給される。
(Configuration from extruder to gear pump)
Although the method for charging the raw material viscoelastic resin material A into the hopper 3C of the extruder 3 is not particularly limited, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the viscoelastic resin material is positioned adjacent to the continuous molding apparatus 1. You may arrange | position the resin material supply apparatus 20 for heat-kneading A and supplying sequentially to the hopper 3C by a batch type. Here, generally, viscoelastic resin material A having the same temperature as room temperature is supplied to hopper 3C.

押出機3は、円筒状のケース3A内にモータM1及び減速機2により回転駆動される単軸スクリュ3Bが内設された構成を備える。ケース3Aの上流側端部の付近に形成された開口部には、粘弾性樹脂材料Aを装入するためのホッパ3Cが連結されている。ケース3Aは同開口部を除いて密閉された構造を備える。尚、押出機3を二軸スクリュ式にする等の変更は適宜行うことができる。   The extruder 3 has a configuration in which a single-axis screw 3B that is rotationally driven by a motor M1 and a speed reducer 2 is provided in a cylindrical case 3A. A hopper 3C for charging the viscoelastic resin material A is connected to an opening formed near the upstream end of the case 3A. The case 3A has a sealed structure except for the opening. In addition, changes, such as making the extruder 3 into a biaxial screw type, can be performed suitably.

ケース3Aの外周には内部の粘弾性樹脂材料Aを外周から加熱するための複数の第1面状ヒータ12が適宜取り付けられている。また、少なくともケース3Aの下流側端部には内部の粘弾性樹脂材料Aの温度を検出する第1温度センサTC1が配置されており、後述する制御装置30は、第1温度センサTC1の検出値が約150℃に保持されるように第1面状ヒータ12を駆動する。   A plurality of first planar heaters 12 for heating the internal viscoelastic resin material A from the outer periphery are appropriately attached to the outer periphery of the case 3A. A first temperature sensor TC1 for detecting the temperature of the internal viscoelastic resin material A is disposed at least at the downstream end of the case 3A, and the control device 30 described later detects the detected value of the first temperature sensor TC1. Is driven at about 150 ° C., the first planar heater 12 is driven.

ギヤポンプ5は互いに常に噛み合った上下一対のギヤの一方がモータM2によって回転駆動される片軸駆動型を用いているため、仮にギヤポンプ5を停止した状態で押出機3を運転すると、粘弾性樹脂材料Aは実質的にギヤポンプ5を越えて下流側に移動することはできない。ギヤポンプ5を駆動すると、粘弾性樹脂材料Aは上下一対のギヤによって一旦小さな断片状に分断され、ギヤポンプ5の出口側の小径部で再び一体化され、その後は、ダイス部7まで概して層流状態で搬送されるものと推定される。   Since the gear pump 5 uses a single-shaft drive type in which one of a pair of upper and lower gears always meshed with each other is driven to rotate by the motor M2, if the extruder 3 is operated with the gear pump 5 stopped, a viscoelastic resin material is used. A cannot substantially move downstream beyond the gear pump 5. When the gear pump 5 is driven, the viscoelastic resin material A is once divided into small pieces by a pair of upper and lower gears, and is integrated again at the small-diameter portion on the outlet side of the gear pump 5, and then the laminar flow state until the die portion 7. It is estimated that it is conveyed by

押出機3とギヤポンプ5の間には、密閉された筒状の調圧部4が介装されており、この調圧部4の内壁面の一部には、調圧部4の内部に充填されている粘弾性樹脂材料Aの圧力を検出するための圧力センサPSが設置されている。調圧部4の外周にも内部の粘弾性樹脂材料Aを外周から加熱するための第1面状ヒータ12が適宜取り付けられている。   A sealed cylindrical pressure adjusting unit 4 is interposed between the extruder 3 and the gear pump 5. A part of the inner wall surface of the pressure adjusting unit 4 is filled in the pressure adjusting unit 4. A pressure sensor PS for detecting the pressure of the viscoelastic resin material A is installed. A first planar heater 12 for heating the internal viscoelastic resin material A from the outer periphery is also appropriately attached to the outer periphery of the pressure adjusting unit 4.

(制御装置とその作用)
連続成形装置1には、各部の運転状態を制御するための制御装置30が設けられている。実際の連続成形装置1の運転では、先ず、ダイス部7からの粘弾性樹脂成形体Bの目標排出速度が設定され、この目標排出速度に基づいて概して一義的に決定されるギヤポンプ5の回転速度が手動で制御装置30に入力される。
(Control device and its operation)
The continuous molding apparatus 1 is provided with a control device 30 for controlling the operating state of each part. In actual operation of the continuous molding apparatus 1, first, a target discharge speed of the viscoelastic resin molded body B from the die portion 7 is set, and the rotational speed of the gear pump 5 that is generally uniquely determined based on this target discharge speed. Is manually input to the control device 30.

制御装置30は、その時のギヤポンプ5の回転速度条件において、調圧部4の圧力センサPSの検出値が0.8〜1.2MPaの範囲内になるように、押出機3のモータM1の回転速度制御を行う。その後、ダイス部7から排出されてくる粘弾性樹脂成形体Bの状態が好適となるように、ギヤポンプ5の回転速度及び圧力センサPSの検出目標値を適宜設定変更することができる。   The control device 30 rotates the motor M1 of the extruder 3 so that the detected value of the pressure sensor PS of the pressure adjusting unit 4 falls within the range of 0.8 to 1.2 MPa under the rotational speed condition of the gear pump 5 at that time. Speed control is performed. Thereafter, the rotational speed of the gear pump 5 and the detection target value of the pressure sensor PS can be appropriately set and changed so that the state of the viscoelastic resin molded body B discharged from the die portion 7 is suitable.

尚、前述したように、調圧部4の圧力センサPSの検出値が常に0.8MPa以上となるように、押出機3のモータM1の回転速度制御を行うことで、粘弾性樹脂材料Aに含まれる気泡を上流側に移動させ、ホッパ3Cから機外に追い出すことができ、その結果、十分に高密度で且つ物性の安定した粘弾性樹脂成形品B′を得ることができる。   As described above, the rotational speed of the motor M1 of the extruder 3 is controlled so that the detected value of the pressure sensor PS of the pressure adjusting unit 4 is always 0.8 MPa or more, so that the viscoelastic resin material A The contained bubbles can be moved upstream and driven out of the machine from the hopper 3C. As a result, a viscoelastic resin molded product B ′ having a sufficiently high density and stable physical properties can be obtained.

尚、ダイス部7から排出される粘弾性樹脂成形体Bの目標サイズは、外径が約50mm、長さが約15mm〜50mmの円柱状である。これに対応するように、ダイス部7の内径は約54mmであるが、押出機3及び調圧部4の内径は一貫して約65mm、ギヤポンプ5の出口側の内径は約42mm、温調搬送部6の内径は一貫して約50mmとされている。   The target size of the viscoelastic resin molded body B discharged from the die portion 7 is a columnar shape having an outer diameter of about 50 mm and a length of about 15 mm to 50 mm. Correspondingly, the inner diameter of the die part 7 is about 54 mm, the inner diameter of the extruder 3 and the pressure adjusting part 4 is consistently about 65 mm, the inner diameter of the outlet side of the gear pump 5 is about 42 mm, and the temperature-controlled conveyance. The inner diameter of the portion 6 is consistently about 50 mm.

(温調搬送部の構成と作用)
図2に例示するように、温調搬送部6は、断面が円形の平滑な内面を有する筒状のケース6Cを備えている。ケース6Cの形状は外面も内面も全長に亘って概して一定であるが、ケース6Cは粘弾性樹脂材料Aの搬送方向に沿って、前半の加熱温調部6Aと後半の放冷温調部6Bとに便宜的に区分される。前半の加熱温調部6Aの外周には、内部の粘弾性樹脂材料Aを再加熱するための第2面状ヒータ14(加熱手段の一例)が配置されている。後半の放冷温調部6Bは、ヒータなどの加熱手段は備えておらず、加熱温調部6Aで加熱された粘弾性樹脂材料Aを所定の方法で放冷する役割を持つ。
(Configuration and operation of temperature control transport unit)
As illustrated in FIG. 2, the temperature control conveyance unit 6 includes a cylindrical case 6 </ b> C having a smooth inner surface with a circular cross section. The shape of the case 6C is generally constant over the entire length of the outer surface and the inner surface, but the case 6C has a heating temperature adjusting unit 6A in the first half and a cooling temperature adjusting unit 6B in the second half along the conveying direction of the viscoelastic resin material A For convenience. A second planar heater 14 (an example of a heating unit) for reheating the internal viscoelastic resin material A is disposed on the outer periphery of the heating temperature adjusting unit 6A in the first half. The latter-half cooling temperature adjusting unit 6B is not provided with a heating means such as a heater, and has a role of cooling the viscoelastic resin material A heated by the heating temperature adjusting unit 6A by a predetermined method.

より具体的には、当該実施形態では、温調搬送部6のケース6Cの外周の断面形状は、一辺の長さが約100mmの正方形を呈し、この正方形の中心に前述した内径が約60mmの円状の内面が形成されている。ケース6Cの材質としては、その熱伝導率の高さからアルミニウムが選択されている。加熱温調部6Aでは、このように断面が正方形のケース6Cの4面の全てに正方形の第2面状ヒータ14が貼り付けられている。前半の加熱温調部6Aと後半の放冷温調部6Bとの間には、外周付近を移動する粘弾性樹脂材料Aの温度を検出する第2温度センサTC2が配置されている。   More specifically, in this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the outer periphery of the case 6C of the temperature control conveyance unit 6 is a square having a side length of about 100 mm, and the inner diameter is about 60 mm at the center of the square. A circular inner surface is formed. As a material of the case 6C, aluminum is selected because of its high thermal conductivity. In the heating temperature adjusting unit 6A, the square second planar heaters 14 are attached to all four surfaces of the case 6C having a square cross section. A second temperature sensor TC2 that detects the temperature of the viscoelastic resin material A that moves near the outer periphery is disposed between the heating temperature adjustment unit 6A in the first half and the cooling temperature adjustment unit 6B in the second half.

加熱温調部6Aの上流側端部(第2面状ヒータ14よりも上流側のX点など)に位置する粘弾性樹脂材料Aは、加熱温調部6Aの内部の外周側と中心部とに関わらず、前述した押出機3及び調圧部4の第1面状ヒータ12によって約140℃に保持されている。
X点に位置する粘弾性樹脂材料Aは、後述するように、加熱温調部6Aの第2面状ヒータ14によって再加熱されながら下流側の放冷温調部6Bに移動する。
The viscoelastic resin material A located at the upstream end of the heating temperature control unit 6A (such as the point X on the upstream side of the second planar heater 14) has an outer peripheral side and a center portion inside the heating temperature control unit 6A. Regardless, the temperature is maintained at about 140 ° C. by the above-described extruder 3 and the first planar heater 12 of the pressure adjusting unit 4.
As will be described later, the viscoelastic resin material A located at the point X moves to the cool-down temperature adjustment unit 6B on the downstream side while being reheated by the second planar heater 14 of the heating temperature adjustment unit 6A.

特に、外周付近の粘弾性樹脂材料Aは第2面状ヒータ14によって一旦約160℃に加熱され、その後、放冷温調部6Bで次第に放冷されながら、最終的に離型性下限温度(125℃)よりも十分に高い約150℃でダイス部7から排出されるため、ダイス部7の内面に層状に付着する傾向が抑えられ、外観が滑らかな円柱状の製品が獲得できる。制御装置30は、第2温度センサTC2の検出値に基づいて、第2面状ヒータ14を駆動する。   In particular, the viscoelastic resin material A in the vicinity of the outer periphery is once heated to about 160 ° C. by the second planar heater 14 and then gradually cooled by the cooling temperature control unit 6B, and finally the releasable lower limit temperature (125 Since it is discharged from the die portion 7 at about 150 ° C., which is sufficiently higher than (° C.), the tendency to adhere to the inner surface of the die portion 7 in a layered manner is suppressed, and a cylindrical product having a smooth appearance can be obtained. The control device 30 drives the second planar heater 14 based on the detection value of the second temperature sensor TC2.

また、径方向に関する中心付近の粘弾性樹脂材料Aは第2面状ヒータ14によって一旦約130〜160℃に加熱されるが、その後、放冷温調部6Bで次第に放冷されながら、最終的に保形性上限温度(155℃)よりも十分に低い約130〜140℃でダイス部7から排出されるため、ダイス部7から排出された成形品が十分な保形性を示し、自重で崩れることなく、所望の外径を備えた正規の円柱状の製品を獲得できる。   Further, the viscoelastic resin material A in the vicinity of the center in the radial direction is once heated to about 130 to 160 ° C. by the second planar heater 14, and then finally gradually cooled down by the cooling temperature control unit 6 B. Since it is discharged from the die part 7 at about 130 to 140 ° C. which is sufficiently lower than the upper limit temperature (155 ° C.), the molded product discharged from the die part 7 exhibits sufficient shape retention and collapses by its own weight. Without obtaining a regular cylindrical product having a desired outer diameter.

尚、温調搬送部6のケース6Aやダイス部7の内面は単なる平滑性の高いアルミニウムの面で構成されており、粘弾性樹脂材料Aとの離型性を高めるための特別なコーティング加工などは何も施されていない。   The inner surfaces of the case 6A and the die part 7 of the temperature control and conveyance unit 6 are simply made of aluminum with high smoothness, and a special coating process for improving releasability from the viscoelastic resin material A, etc. Nothing has been given.

仮に、外周付近と中心付近を含めた全体が均一に130℃となる条件で粘弾性樹脂成形体Bをダイス部7から排出することができれば、離型性下限温度(125℃)よりも高いという条件と、保形性上限温度(155℃)よりも低いという条件を同時に僅かながらクリアできる。しかし、実際には、層流状態で移動する粘弾性樹脂成形体Bでは、ケース6Aの外周を中心に生じる熱拡散のために、外周付近の粘弾性樹脂材料Aが中心付近の粘弾性樹脂材料Aよりも低温になり易いため、温度を外周付近と中心付近とで均一にすることは困難である。また、離型性下限温度(125℃)よりも高いという条件と、保形性上限温度(155℃)よりも低いという条件を十分にはクリアできないため、得られる粘弾性樹脂成形品B′の品質が不安定となり易い。   If the viscoelastic resin molding B can be discharged from the die part 7 under the condition that the whole including the vicinity of the outer periphery and the center is uniformly 130 ° C., it is said that the temperature is higher than the lower limit of releasability (125 ° C.). The conditions and lower than the shape retention upper limit temperature (155 ° C.) can be cleared at the same time. However, in actuality, in the viscoelastic resin molding B that moves in a laminar flow state, the viscoelastic resin material A near the outer periphery is viscoelastic resin material near the center due to thermal diffusion that occurs around the outer periphery of the case 6A. Since the temperature is likely to be lower than that of A, it is difficult to make the temperature uniform around the outer periphery and near the center. Moreover, since the condition that it is higher than the releasability lower limit temperature (125 ° C.) and the condition that it is lower than the shape retention upper limit temperature (155 ° C.) cannot be sufficiently cleared, the obtained viscoelastic resin molded product B ′ Quality tends to be unstable.

因みに、第2面状ヒータ14を温調搬送部6の後半部も含めた全面に配置する、或いは、温調搬送部6の後半部のみに配置し、ダイス部7における外周付近の粘弾性樹脂材料Aが離型性下限温度(125℃)を十分に超える約160℃となるように制御する方法では、中心側に熱がこもって中心付近の粘弾性樹脂材料Aの温度が高くなり、同箇所の粘弾性樹脂材料Aを保形性上限温度(155℃)よりも十分に低い温度に制御することが困難である。   Incidentally, the second planar heater 14 is arranged on the entire surface including the latter half of the temperature control conveyance unit 6 or is arranged only on the latter half of the temperature adjustment conveyance unit 6, and the viscoelastic resin near the outer periphery of the die unit 7. In the method in which the material A is controlled to be about 160 ° C. sufficiently exceeding the releasable lower limit temperature (125 ° C.), the temperature of the viscoelastic resin material A near the center increases due to heat accumulation in the center side. It is difficult to control the viscoelastic resin material A at a location to a temperature sufficiently lower than the shape retention upper limit temperature (155 ° C.).

ダイス部7から排出される粘弾性樹脂成形体B′が有する粘弾性その他のレオロジー的特性や製造装置内面への付着性は、粘弾性樹脂材料Aの組成、押出機3や調圧部4内で粘弾性樹脂材料Aが受ける圧力、粘弾性樹脂材料Aが調圧部4内に留まる滞留時間、ダイス部7の内径、ギヤポンプ5による送り出し速度、等を含む多数のパラメータによって左右される。したがって、上述した離型性下限温度及び保形性上限温度の具体的な値は単なる一例に過ぎず、これらの温度値も上記各パラメータによって変動することが推測される。   The viscoelastic resin molded body B ′ discharged from the die part 7 has viscoelasticity and other rheological characteristics and adhesion to the inner surface of the production apparatus, the composition of the viscoelastic resin material A, the extruder 3 and the pressure adjusting part 4 The pressure applied to the viscoelastic resin material A, the residence time during which the viscoelastic resin material A stays in the pressure adjusting unit 4, the inner diameter of the die unit 7, the feed rate by the gear pump 5, etc. Therefore, the specific values of the releasability lower limit temperature and the shape retention upper limit temperature described above are merely examples, and it is estimated that these temperature values also vary depending on the above parameters.

ダイス部7から排出される粘弾性樹脂成形体Bの断面形状は、ダイス部7の開口部の形状を変更することで、適宜変更することが可能であり、ダイス部7に複数の開口部を設けることで同時に複数本の粘弾性樹脂成形体Bを排出させることも可能である。   The cross-sectional shape of the viscoelastic resin molded body B discharged from the die part 7 can be changed as appropriate by changing the shape of the opening part of the die part 7, and a plurality of openings are provided in the die part 7. By providing, it is also possible to discharge a plurality of viscoelastic resin molded bodies B at the same time.

著しく軟質で変形し易く、且つ、粘着性を有する粘弾性樹脂材料を、ベッドやソファの中に設置するクッション材として適した形状の成形品に連続成形するための技術として利用可能である。   The present invention can be used as a technique for continuously molding a viscoelastic resin material that is extremely soft and easily deformed and has adhesiveness into a molded product having a shape suitable as a cushion material to be installed in a bed or a sofa.
