本発明は、表側面又は裏側面の一部に所定部材が一体的に設けられた発泡樹脂成形品の成形方法及び成形装置に関する技術分野に属する。 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention belongs to a technical field related to a molding method and a molding apparatus for a foamed resin molded article having a predetermined member integrally provided on a part of the front side or the back side.

従来より、表側面又は裏側面に所定部材(芯材や表皮材等)が一体的に設けられた発泡樹脂成形品の成形方法及び成形装置はよく知られている。例えば特許文献1及び2には、成形型の型開き時に、芯材や表皮材を成形型内にセットし、成形型の型締めにより成形型の固定型と可動型との間に形成されたキャビティに、溶融した発泡性樹脂を充填することが開示されている。また、特許文献1には、キャビティへの発泡性樹脂の充填の完了後に、可動型を成形型の型開き方向に後退させる(所謂コアバックさせる)ことで、発泡性樹脂を発泡させることが開示されている。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, molding methods and molding apparatuses for foamed resin moldings integrally provided with predetermined members (core material, skin material, etc.) on the front side or the back side are well known. For example, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, when the mold is opened, a core material and a skin material are set in the mold, and the mold is clamped to form between a fixed mold and a movable mold. Filling the cavity with a molten foamable resin is disclosed. Further, Patent Document 1 discloses that after the filling of the foamable resin into the cavity is completed, the movable mold is retreated in the opening direction of the mold (so-called core-back) to foam the foamable resin. It is

ところで、上記所定部材が発泡樹脂成形品の表側面又は裏側面の一部に設けられる場合がある。この場合、成形型の型開き時に、上記所定部材が成形型の固定型又は可動型の成形面に部分的にセットされる。そして、キャビティにおける上記所定部材がセットされていない側に対応する第1対応部と上記所定部材がセットされている側に対応する第2対応部とに、溶融した発泡性樹脂が略同時に供給され、キャビティ全体への発泡性樹脂の充填完了後に、可動型を成形型の型開き方向に後退させることで、発泡性樹脂を発泡させる。 By the way, the predetermined member may be provided on a part of the front side surface or the back side surface of the foamed resin molded product. In this case, when the mold is opened, the predetermined member is partially set on the molding surface of the fixed mold or the movable mold of the mold. Then, the molten foamable resin is supplied substantially simultaneously to the first corresponding portion corresponding to the side of the cavity on which the predetermined member is not set and the second corresponding portion corresponding to the side on which the predetermined member is set in the cavity. After completion of filling the entire cavity with the foamable resin, the movable mold is retracted in the mold opening direction to foam the foamable resin.

しかし、上記のように上記所定部材が固定型又は可動型の成形面に部分的にセットされた場合、キャビティの上記第1対応部と上記第2対応部とでは、通常、充填された発泡性樹脂の冷却速度が異なるという問題がある。すなわち、上記所定部材が、キャビティに充填された発泡性樹脂の熱を固定型又は可動型に伝達するのを阻害することになり、キャビティの上記第2対応部では、上記第1対応部に対して、発泡性樹脂の冷却速度が遅くなる。 However, when the predetermined member is partially set on the molding surface of the fixed mold or the movable mold as described above, the first corresponding portion and the second corresponding portion of the cavity are normally filled with a foamable material. There is a problem that the cooling speed of the resin is different. In other words, the predetermined member prevents the heat of the foamable resin filled in the cavity from being transferred to the fixed mold or the movable mold, and the second corresponding portion of the cavity has a heat resistance relative to the first corresponding portion. As a result, the cooling rate of the foamable resin slows down.

このため、キャビティ全体への発泡性樹脂の充填完了後における或るタイミングで可動型の後退(所謂コアバック)を開始したときに、その後退開始時(つまり発泡開始時)において、上記第1対応部と上記第2対応部とで発泡性樹脂の温度が異なり、この結果、上記第1対応部と上記第2対応部とで、発泡性樹脂の発泡性が異なって、発泡後の発泡性樹脂の気泡の大きさが異なってしまう。 For this reason, when the retraction of the movable mold (so-called core back) is started at a certain timing after the completion of filling the entire cavity with the foamable resin, at the start of the retraction (that is, at the start of foaming), the first response The temperature of the foamable resin differs between the first corresponding portion and the second corresponding portion, and as a result, the foamability of the foamable resin differs between the first corresponding portion and the second corresponding portion. The size of the air bubbles is different.

本発明は、斯かる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、所定部材が固定型又は可動型の成形面に部分的にセットされる場合において、発泡性樹脂全体で均一な大きさの気泡が得られる、発泡樹脂成形品の成形方法及び成形装置を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of this point, and its object is to provide a uniform foaming resin over the entire foamable resin when a predetermined member is partially set on the molding surface of a fixed mold or a movable mold. To provide a molding method and a molding apparatus for a foamed resin molded article by which air bubbles of an appropriate size can be obtained.

上記の目的を達成するために、本発明の第1態様では、表側面又は裏側面の一部に所定部材が一体的に設けられた発泡樹脂成形品の成形方法を対象として、固定型及び可動型を有する成形型における該固定型又は該可動型の成形面に、上記所定部材を部分的にセットするセット工程と、上記セット工程の終了後に、上記成形型の型締めにより上記固定型と上記可動型との間に形成されたキャビティに、溶融した発泡性樹脂を充填する充填工程と、上記充填工程の終了後に、上記可動型を上記成形型の型開き方向に後退させて上記発泡性樹脂を発泡させる発泡工程とを備え、上記充填工程は、上記キャビティにおける上記所定部材がセットされていない側に対応する第1対応部から上記発泡性樹脂の供給を開始して、該第1対応部に供給された発泡性樹脂を、該第1対応部から、上記キャビティにおける上記所定部材がセットされている側に対応する第2対応部に供給することで、上記キャビティへの上記発泡性樹脂の充填を行う工程であるとする。 In order to achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention is directed to a method for molding a foamed resin molded product in which a predetermined member is integrally provided on a part of the front surface or the back surface, and includes a fixed mold and a movable mold. a setting step of partially setting the predetermined member on the molding surface of the fixed mold or the movable mold in a mold having a mold; A filling step of filling a molten foamable resin into a cavity formed between the movable mold and the foamable resin by retracting the movable mold in a mold opening direction of the mold after the filling step. In the filling step, the supply of the foamable resin is started from the first corresponding portion corresponding to the side of the cavity on which the predetermined member is not set, and the first corresponding portion The foamable resin supplied to the cavity is supplied from the first corresponding portion to the second corresponding portion corresponding to the side of the cavity on which the predetermined member is set, so that the foamable resin is supplied to the cavity. Assume that this is a process of filling.

上記の成形方法により、溶融した発泡性樹脂は、キャビティの第1対応部から第2対応部に供給されるので、第1対応部への発泡性樹脂の充填が先に完了し、第2対応部への供給のために新たな発泡性樹脂が第1対応部に供給されながら第1対応部から第2対応部に供給されて、最終的に第2対応部への発泡性樹脂の充填が完了する。発泡性樹脂の充填が完了した第1対応部においては、第2対応部への供給のために新たな発泡性樹脂が第1対応部に供給されても、固定型及び可動型への熱伝達により、第1対応部への発泡性樹脂の充填の完了時から該第1対応部における発泡性樹脂の温度が低下していく。第1対応部への発泡性樹脂の充填の完了時での第1対応部における発泡性樹脂の温度を第1温度とし、第2対応部への発泡性樹脂の充填の完了時での第1対応部における発泡性樹脂の温度を第2温度とすると、第2温度は第1温度よりも低い。第2対応部への発泡性樹脂の充填の完了時での第2対応部における発泡性樹脂の温度を第3温度とすると、第3温度は第2温度よりも低くなる。第2対応部への発泡性樹脂の充填の完了時からの時間の経過に伴って、第1対応部における発泡性樹脂の温度は第2温度から低下していき、第2対応部における発泡性樹脂の温度は第3温度から低下していく。ここで、第2対応部における発泡性樹脂の温度の低下速度は、第1対応部における発泡性樹脂の温度の低下速度よりも遅い。このため、第2対応部への発泡性樹脂の充填完了後(キャビティへの発泡性樹脂の充填完了後)において、第1対応部と第2対応部とで発泡性樹脂の温度が同じになるときがある。第1対応部と第2対応部とで発泡性樹脂の温度が同じになる時点を含む所定期間の間は、第1対応部と第2対応部とで発泡性樹脂の温度が略同じであると言える。この所定期間の間に可動型の後退を開始すれば、第1対応部と第2対応部とで発泡性樹脂の発泡性が略同じになり、発泡後の発泡性樹脂の気泡の大きさを揃えることができるようになる。尚、上記所定部材は、キャビティに充填された発泡性樹脂の熱を固定型又は可動型に伝達するのを阻害する部材であればよい。 According to the molding method described above, the molten foamable resin is supplied from the first corresponding portion of the cavity to the second corresponding portion. While new foamable resin is supplied to the first corresponding portion for supply to the part, it is supplied from the first corresponding portion to the second corresponding portion, and finally the second corresponding portion is filled with the foamable resin. complete. In the first corresponding portion that has been filled with the expandable resin, even if new expandable resin is supplied to the first corresponding portion for supply to the second corresponding portion, heat transfer to the fixed mold and the movable mold will not occur. As a result, the temperature of the foamable resin in the first corresponding portion is lowered from the time when the filling of the foamable resin in the first corresponding portion is completed. The temperature of the foamable resin in the first corresponding portion when filling of the foamable resin into the first corresponding portion is completed is defined as a first temperature, and the temperature of the foamable resin when filling of the foamable resin into the second corresponding portion is completed is defined as a first temperature. Assuming that the temperature of the expandable resin in the corresponding portion is the second temperature, the second temperature is lower than the first temperature. Assuming that the temperature of the foamable resin in the second corresponding portion at the time of completion of filling the foamable resin in the second corresponding portion is the third temperature, the third temperature is lower than the second temperature. With the passage of time from the completion of filling the foamable resin into the second corresponding portion, the temperature of the foamable resin in the first corresponding portion decreases from the second temperature, and the foamability in the second corresponding portion The temperature of the resin decreases from the third temperature. Here, the rate of decrease in the temperature of the foamable resin in the second corresponding portion is slower than the rate of decrease in the temperature of the foamable resin in the first corresponding portion. Therefore, after the foaming resin is completely filled in the second corresponding portion (after the cavity is completely filled with the foaming resin), the temperature of the foaming resin becomes the same between the first corresponding portion and the second corresponding portion. There are times The temperature of the expandable resin is substantially the same between the first corresponding portion and the second corresponding portion for a predetermined period including the time when the temperature of the expandable resin becomes the same between the first corresponding portion and the second corresponding portion. I can say. If the movable mold starts to retreat during this predetermined period, the foamability of the foamable resin becomes substantially the same between the first corresponding portion and the second corresponding portion, and the size of the bubbles in the foamable resin after foaming is adjusted. be able to align. The predetermined member may be any member that prevents the heat of the foamable resin filled in the cavity from being transferred to the fixed mold or the movable mold.

上記発泡樹脂成形品の成形方法において、上記発泡工程における上記可動型の後退は、上記キャビティの上記第1対応部における上記発泡性樹脂の温度と、上記第2対応部における上記発泡性樹脂の温度とが略同じであるときに開始する、ことが好ましい。 In the method for molding a foamed resin molded product, the retraction of the movable mold in the foaming step is determined by the temperature of the foamable resin in the first corresponding portion of the cavity and the temperature of the foamable resin in the second corresponding portion. is about the same.

このことにより、発泡性樹脂全体で均一な大きさの気泡がより確実に得られるようになる。 This makes it possible to more reliably obtain bubbles of uniform size throughout the foamable resin.

上記発泡樹脂成形品の成形方法の一実施形態では、上記所定部材は、上記発泡樹脂成形品の表側面に設けられる表皮材である。 In one embodiment of the molding method for the foamed resin molded product, the predetermined member is a skin material provided on the front surface of the foamed resin molded product.

このことで、発泡樹脂成形品の外観性や人が所定部材(表皮材)に触ったときの感触を向上させることができる。 As a result, it is possible to improve the appearance of the foamed resin molded product and the feeling when a person touches the predetermined member (skin material).

上記所定部材が表皮材である場合の一例では、上記表皮材は、表皮層と、該表皮層の裏側面に設けられたクッション層とを有する。 In one example in which the predetermined member is a skin material, the skin material has a skin layer and a cushion layer provided on the back surface of the skin layer.

これにより、発泡樹脂成形品を人が触るような箇所に配置することができるとともに、人が所定部材(表皮材)に触ったときの感触をより一層向上させることができる。 As a result, the foamed resin molded product can be arranged at a place where a person touches it, and the feeling when a person touches the predetermined member (skin material) can be further improved.

また、上記所定部材が表皮材である場合の別の例では、上記発泡樹脂成形品は、車両用の内装材である。 In another example in which the predetermined member is a skin material, the foamed resin molded product is an interior material for a vehicle.

このことにより、車両において外観性が要求される内装材や、車両の乗員が触る可能性が高い内装材に用いるのに適した発泡樹脂成形品が得られる。 As a result, it is possible to obtain a foamed resin molded product suitable for use as an interior material that requires good appearance in a vehicle or an interior material that is likely to be touched by vehicle occupants.

The filling means is configured to be retracted in an opening direction to foam the foamable resin, and the filling means supplies the foamable resin from a first corresponding portion corresponding to the side of the cavity on which the predetermined member is not set. By starting and supplying the expandable resin supplied to the first corresponding portion from the first corresponding portion to the second corresponding portion corresponding to the side of the cavity on which the predetermined member is set, It is configured to fill the foamable resin into the cavity.

この構成により、上記発泡樹脂成形品の成形方法と同様に、発泡性樹脂全体で均一な大きさの気泡が得られるようになる。 With this configuration, cells of a uniform size can be obtained in the entire foamable resin in the same manner as in the molding method of the foamed resin molded product.

An injection device 31 is provided for injecting and filling the cavity 5 formed between the movable mold 4 and the molten foamable resin 11 (see FIGS. 4 and 5). The surface of the stationary mold 3 in contact with the cavity 5 is the molding surface 3 a of the fixed mold 3 , and the surface of the movable mold 4 in contact with the cavity 5 is the molding surface 4 a of the movable mold 4 .

射出装置31は、成形型2の固定型3及び後述の固定プラテン22に設けられたホットランナー6に接続される加熱シリンダ32を有し、この加熱シリンダ32には、ホッパ33が接続されている。このホッパ33には、化学発泡の場合、発泡性樹脂材料(例えばポリプロピレン)のペレットと化学発泡剤とが投入され、物理発泡の場合、上記ペレットのみが投入される。物理発泡の場合には、加熱シリンダ32に接続されたガス注入部34から、ガス(窒素、二酸化炭素等)が注入される。ホッパ33に投入されたペレットは、加熱シリンダ32内に供給され、この加熱シリンダ32内で、不図示のヒータにより溶融する。尚、化学発泡剤は、加熱シリンダ32内で熱分解により発泡ガスを発生する。 The injection device 31 has a heating cylinder 32 connected to the fixed mold 3 of the mold 2 and a hot runner 6 provided on a fixed platen 22 which will be described later. A hopper 33 is connected to the heating cylinder 32 . . The hopper 33 is charged with pellets of an expandable resin material (eg, polypropylene) and a chemical foaming agent in the case of chemical foaming, and only the pellets are charged in the case of physical foaming. In the case of physical bubbling, gas (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.) is injected from the gas injection part 34 connected to the heating cylinder 32 . Pellets charged into the hopper 33 are supplied into the heating cylinder 32 and melted in the heating cylinder 32 by a heater (not shown). The chemical foaming agent generates foaming gas by thermal decomposition within the heating cylinder 32 .

加熱シリンダ32内には、図示を省略するスクリューが加熱シリンダ32の軸心回りに回転可能にかつ加熱シリンダ32の軸心方向(水平方向)に移動可能に設けられている。このスクリューにおける成形型2とは反対側の端部(後端部)が、スクリューを回転させる回転機構(モータを含む)とスクリューを移動させる移動機構(モータを含む)とを有するスクリュー駆動装置37に連結されている。そして、スクリューがスクリュー駆動装置37の回転機構によって回転しながら移動機構によって成形型2側に移動する(前進する)ことで、加熱シリンダ32内で溶融した発泡性樹脂11が、ホットランナー6を介してキャビティ5内に射出供給される。 Inside the heating cylinder 32, a screw (not shown) is provided rotatably around the axis of the heating cylinder 32 and movable in the axial direction (horizontal direction) of the heating cylinder 32. As shown in FIG. The end (rear end) of the screw opposite to the molding die 2 has a screw driving device 37 having a rotating mechanism (including a motor) for rotating the screw and a moving mechanism (including a motor) for moving the screw. connected to Then, the screw is rotated by the rotation mechanism of the screw driving device 37 and moved (advanced) toward the molding die 2 by the movement mechanism, so that the foamable resin 11 melted in the heating cylinder 32 passes through the hot runner 6. is injected and supplied into the cavity 5.

A first valve gate 8 and a second valve gate 9 for opening and closing the openings of the first branch portion 6b and the second branch portion 6c to the cavity 5 are provided, respectively. However, in this embodiment, when the molten foamable resin 11 is supplied to the cavity 5, only the first valve gate 8 is opened and the second valve gate 9 remains closed. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second branch portion 6c and the second valve gate 9 can be eliminated.

成形型開閉装置21は、固定型3が取り付けられた固定プラテン22と、可動型4が取り付けられた可動プラテン23と、可動プラテン23に連結された可動型駆動装置26とを有する。本実施形態では、可動型駆動装置26は、詳細な図示は省略するが、油圧シリンダを有していて、この油圧シリンダへの油圧の給排により、可動プラテン23及び可動型4を固定型3に対して近接及び離間するように移動させる。 The mold opening/closing device 21 has a fixed platen 22 to which the fixed mold 3 is attached, a movable platen 23 to which the movable mold 4 is attached, and a movable mold driving device 26 connected to the movable platen 23 . In this embodiment, the movable drive device 26 has a hydraulic cylinder, although detailed illustration is omitted, and the movable platen 23 and the movable mold 4 are moved to the stationary mold 3 by supplying and discharging hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic cylinder. move toward and away from

可動プラテン23には、固定プラテン22に向かって水平に延びる複数の筒状部材24が設けられ、固定プラテン22には、複数の筒状部材24内で可動プラテン23に向かってそれぞれ水平に延びる複数の軸部材25が設けられている。各軸部材25には、各筒状部材24の内径と略同じ外径を有する摺動部25aが設けられており、可動プラテン23及び可動型4の移動時に、各軸部材25の摺動部25aが各筒状部材24内を摺動することで、可動プラテン23及び可動型4が水平方向に移動するように案内される。このように可動型駆動装置26は、可動型4を固定型3に対して近接及び離間するように移動させて、成形型2の型締め及び型開きを行う。また、可動型駆動装置26は、キャビティ5に充填された発泡性樹脂11を発泡させるために、成形型2の型締め状態から可動型4を成形型2の型開き方向に後退させる(所謂コアバックさせる)役割も有する。 The movable platen 23 is provided with a plurality of tubular members 24 extending horizontally toward the stationary platen 22 , and the stationary platen 22 has a plurality of tubular members 24 each horizontally extending toward the movable platen 23 within the plurality of tubular members 24 . A shaft member 25 is provided. Each shaft member 25 is provided with a sliding portion 25a having an outer diameter approximately the same as the inner diameter of each cylindrical member 24. When the movable platen 23 and the movable mold 4 are moved, the sliding portion 25a of each shaft member 25 As the 25a slides inside each cylindrical member 24, the movable platen 23 and the movable die 4 are guided to move in the horizontal direction. In this manner, the movable mold driving device 26 moves the movable mold 4 toward and away from the fixed mold 3 to close and open the mold 2 . In addition, the movable mold driving device 26 retracts the movable mold 4 in the opening direction of the mold 2 from the closed state of the mold 2 in order to foam the foamable resin 11 filled in the cavity 5 (so-called core).

本実施形態では、成形装置1(成形型2)により成形される発泡樹脂成形品は、図2に簡略化して示すように、表側面の一部に、所定部材としての表皮材62が一体的に設けられた発泡樹脂成形品60である。すなわち、発泡樹脂成形品60は、キャビティ5に充填された発泡性樹脂11が固化した本体部61と、該本体部61の表側面の一部に一体的に設けられた表皮材62とを有する。表皮材62は、後述の如く、発泡樹脂成形品60を成形する際に、可動型4の成形面4aに部分的にセットされて、キャビティ5における表皮材62がセットされている側に対応する部分(後述の第2対応部5b)における発泡性樹脂11の熱を可動型4に伝達するのを阻害する。 In this embodiment, the foamed resin molded product molded by the molding apparatus 1 (molding die 2) has a skin material 62 as a predetermined member integrally formed on a part of the front surface, as shown in FIG. It is a foamed resin molded product 60 provided in . That is, the foamed resin molded product 60 has a body portion 61 formed by solidifying the foamable resin 11 filled in the cavity 5, and a skin material 62 integrally provided on a part of the front surface of the body portion 61. . As will be described later, the skin material 62 is partially set on the molding surface 4a of the movable mold 4 when molding the foamed resin molded product 60, and corresponds to the side of the cavity 5 on which the skin material 62 is set. It prevents the heat of the expandable resin 11 from being transferred to the movable mold 4 at the portion (the second corresponding portion 5b described later).

本実施形態では、表皮材62は、表皮層62aと、該表皮層62aの裏側面に設けられたクッション層62bとを有する収縮性部材である。表皮層62aは、例えば塩化ビニル樹脂で構成され、クッション層62bは、例えば、電子線架橋によるポリオレフィンフォーム(ペフ)で構成される。尚、表皮材62は、収縮性部材でなくてもよい(クッション層62bを有していなくてもよい)。 In this embodiment, the skin material 62 is a contractile member having a skin layer 62a and a cushion layer 62b provided on the back surface of the skin layer 62a. The skin layer 62a is made of, for example, vinyl chloride resin, and the cushion layer 62b is made of, for example, electron beam crosslinked polyolefin foam (PEF). In addition, the skin material 62 may not be a contractile member (it may not have the cushion layer 62b).

発泡樹脂成形品60は、例えば車両用の内装材として用いられる。車両用の内装材としては、具体的には、トリム(ドアトリム等)、センターコンソール、トランクボード等が挙げられる。これら内装材の表側面における特に乗員が触れる可能性が高い箇所に表皮材が設けられる。 The foamed resin molded product 60 is used, for example, as an interior material for vehicles. Specific examples of vehicle interior materials include trims (such as door trims), center consoles, and trunk boards. A skin material is provided at a portion of the surface of these interior materials that is likely to be touched by an occupant.

次に、図2に示す発泡樹脂成形品60の成形方法について、図3~図5により説明する。 Next, a method of molding the foamed resin molding 60 shown in FIG. 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. FIG.

先ず、作業者が、成形型2の型開き状態で、可動型4の成形面4aに、表皮材62を部分的にセットする。この表皮材62がセットされる成形面4aには、表皮材62に刺さるピン等の支持部材(図示省略)が複数設けられており、これら複数の支持部材により表皮材62が成形面4aに支持されてセットされる。 First, an operator partially sets the skin material 62 on the molding surface 4a of the movable mold 4 while the mold 2 is open. The molding surface 4a on which the skin material 62 is set is provided with a plurality of support members (not shown) such as pins that stick into the skin material 62, and the skin material 62 is supported on the molding surface 4a by the plurality of support members. set.

その後、作業者がスイッチ操作を行うと、その操作情報がコントロールユニット50に入力され、この操作情報が入力されたコントロールユニット50からの指令に基づいて、成形型2の型締めから次の型開きまで、発泡樹脂成形品60の成形のための一連の動作が行われる。 After that, when the operator operates the switch, the operation information is input to the control unit 50, and based on the command from the control unit 50 to which this operation information is input, the mold 2 is closed and the next mold opening is performed. A series of operations for molding the foamed resin molded product 60 are performed until the end.

具体的に、成形型開閉装置21の可動型駆動装置26によって、表皮材62がセットされた可動型4が固定型3に向けて移動して、成形型2の型締めが行われる。 Specifically, the movable mold 4 on which the skin material 62 is set is moved toward the fixed mold 3 by the movable mold driving device 26 of the mold opening/closing device 21, and the mold 2 is clamped.

図3に示すように、成形型2の型締め完了状態において、キャビティ5は、表皮材62がセットされていない側に対応する第1対応部5aと、表皮材62がセットされている側に対応する第2対応部5bとに分かれる。そして、ホットランナー6の第1分岐部6bは、第1バルブゲート8を介して第1対応部5aに接続され、第2分岐部6cは、第2バルブゲート9を介して第2対応部5bに接続される。 As shown in FIG. 3, when the mold 2 is completely clamped, the cavity 5 has a first corresponding portion 5a corresponding to the side where the skin material 62 is not set and a first corresponding portion 5a corresponding to the side where the skin material 62 is set. It is divided into a corresponding second corresponding portion 5b. The first branch portion 6b of the hot runner 6 is connected to the first corresponding portion 5a via the first valve gate 8, and the second branch portion 6c is connected to the second corresponding portion 5b via the second valve gate 9. connected to

成形型2の型締め完了後、図4に示すように、第1バルブゲート8のみが開かれて、射出装置31によって、溶融した発泡性樹脂11がキャビティ5に供給される。第2バルブゲート9は、開かれることがなく、第2対応部5bへは、第1対応部5aから発泡性樹脂11が供給される。すなわち、キャビティ5の第1対応部5aから発泡性樹脂11の供給を開始して、第1対応部5aに供給された発泡性樹脂11を、第1対応部5aからキャビティ5の第2対応部5bに供給することで、キャビティ5への発泡性樹脂11の充填を行う。 After the mold 2 is completely clamped, only the first valve gate 8 is opened, and the molten foamable resin 11 is supplied to the cavity 5 by the injection device 31, as shown in FIG. The second valve gate 9 is not opened, and the expandable resin 11 is supplied from the first corresponding portion 5a to the second corresponding portion 5b. That is, the supply of the expandable resin 11 is started from the first corresponding portion 5a of the cavity 5, and the expandable resin 11 supplied to the first corresponding portion 5a is transferred from the first corresponding portion 5a to the second corresponding portion of the cavity 5. The foaming resin 11 is filled into the cavity 5 by supplying the foaming resin 11 to the cavity 5b.

第1バルブゲート8は、スクリュー駆動装置37の移動機構のモータが駆動されてから、第1設定時間が経過したときに閉じられる。この第1設定時間は、発泡樹脂成形品60の本体部61の成形に必要な量の発泡性樹脂11がキャビティ5に充填されるような時間に予め設定される。 The first valve gate 8 is closed when a first set time elapses after the motor of the movement mechanism of the screw driving device 37 is driven. The first set time is set in advance such that the cavity 5 is filled with the amount of foamable resin 11 necessary for molding the main body portion 61 of the foamed resin molded product 60 .

第1バルブゲート8が閉じられたとき(キャビティ5への発泡性樹脂11の充填完了時)から所定時間が経過したときに、成形型開閉装置21の可動型駆動装置26によって、可動型4が成形型2の型開き方向に後退を開始する。可動型4は型締め位置から、予め設定された設定量だけ後退する(図5参照)。この設定量は、発泡樹脂成形品60の本体部61の厚みから、型締め状態で成形したと仮定した場合に得られる本体部61の厚みを引いた量である。可動型4の後退により発泡性樹脂11が発泡する。 When a predetermined time has passed since the first valve gate 8 was closed (when the filling of the foamable resin 11 into the cavity 5 was completed), the movable mold 4 was moved by the movable mold driving device 26 of the mold opening/closing device 21. The mold 2 starts to retreat in the mold opening direction. The movable mold 4 retreats from the mold clamping position by a preset set amount (see FIG. 5). This set amount is the amount obtained by subtracting the thickness of the body portion 61 obtained when it is assumed that the foamed resin molded product 60 is molded in a clamped state from the thickness of the body portion 61 . The foamable resin 11 is foamed by the retraction of the movable mold 4 .

ここで、上記所定時間は、キャビティ5の第1対応部5aにおける発泡性樹脂11の温度と、第2対応部5bにおける発泡性樹脂11の温度とが略同じになる時間として、予め設定されている。すなわち、可動型4の後退(発泡性樹脂11の発泡)は、第1対応部5aにおける発泡性樹脂11の温度と、第2対応部5bにおける発泡性樹脂11の温度とが略同じであるときに開始される。 Here, the predetermined time is set in advance as a time during which the temperature of the expandable resin 11 in the first corresponding portion 5a of the cavity 5 and the temperature of the expandable resin 11 in the second corresponding portion 5b become approximately the same. there is That is, the retraction of the movable mold 4 (foaming of the foamable resin 11) occurs when the temperature of the foamable resin 11 in the first corresponding portion 5a and the temperature of the foamable resin 11 in the second corresponding portion 5b are substantially the same. is started at

より詳しく説明すると、溶融した発泡性樹脂11は、キャビティ5の第1対応部5aから第2対応部5bに供給されるので、第1対応部5aへの発泡性樹脂11の充填が先に完了し、第2対応部5bへの供給のために新たな発泡性樹脂11が第1対応部5aに供給されながら第1対応部5aから第2対応部5bに供給されて、最終的に第2対応部5bへの発泡性樹脂11の充填が完了する。発泡性樹脂11の充填が完了した第1対応部5aにおいては、第2対応部5bへの供給のために新たな発泡性樹脂11が第1対応部5aに供給されても、固定型3及び可動型4への熱伝達により、第1対応部5aへの発泡性樹脂11の充填の完了時(図6の時刻0)から該第1対応部5aにおける発泡性樹脂11の温度が低下していく(図6において、時刻t1までの第1対応部5aにおける発泡性樹脂11の温度を参照)。第1対応部5aへの発泡性樹脂11の充填の完了時(時刻0)での第1対応部5aにおける発泡性樹脂11の温度を第1温度T1とし、第2対応部5bへの発泡性樹脂11の充填の完了時(キャビティ5への発泡性樹脂11の充填完了時(時刻t1))での第1対応部5aにおける発泡性樹脂11の温度を第2温度T2とすると、第2温度T2は第1温度T1よりも低い。 More specifically, since the molten foamable resin 11 is supplied from the first corresponding portion 5a of the cavity 5 to the second corresponding portion 5b, the filling of the foamable resin 11 into the first corresponding portion 5a is completed first. Then, while new foamable resin 11 is supplied to the first corresponding portion 5a for supply to the second corresponding portion 5b, it is supplied from the first corresponding portion 5a to the second corresponding portion 5b, and finally the second corresponding portion 5b is supplied. Filling of the foamable resin 11 into the corresponding portion 5b is completed. In the first corresponding portion 5a that has been filled with the foaming resin 11, even if new foaming resin 11 is supplied to the first corresponding portion 5a for supply to the second corresponding portion 5b, the fixed die 3 and Due to the heat transfer to the movable mold 4, the temperature of the expandable resin 11 in the first corresponding portion 5a is lowered from the time when the filling of the expandable resin 11 in the first corresponding portion 5a is completed (time 0 in FIG. 6). (refer to the temperature of the expandable resin 11 in the first corresponding portion 5a up to time t1 in FIG. 6). The temperature of the expandable resin 11 in the first corresponding portion 5a at the completion of filling the first corresponding portion 5a with the expandable resin 11 (time 0) is defined as a first temperature T1, and the foamability of the second corresponding portion 5b is Assuming that the temperature of the expandable resin 11 in the first corresponding portion 5a at the time of completion of filling of the resin 11 (at the time of completion of filling of the expandable resin 11 into the cavity 5 (time t1)) is a second temperature T2, the second temperature T2 is lower than the first temperature T1.

第2対応部5bへの発泡性樹脂11の充填の完了時(時刻t1)での第2対応部5bにおける発泡性樹脂11の温度を第3温度T3とすると、第3温度T3は第2温度T2よりも低くなる。第2対応部5bへの発泡性樹脂11の充填の完了時からの時間の経過に伴って、第1対応部5aにおける発泡性樹脂11の温度は第2温度T2から低下していき、第2対応部5bにおける発泡性樹脂11の温度は第3温度T3から低下していく(図6において、時刻t1からの第1対応部5a及び第2対応部5bにおける発泡性樹脂11の温度を参照)。ここで、第2対応部5bにおける発泡性樹脂11と可動型4との間には表皮材62が介在しているので、該表皮材62によって可動型4への熱伝達が阻害される。これにより、第2対応部5bにおける発泡性樹脂11の温度の低下速度は、第1対応部5aにおける発泡性樹脂11の温度の低下速度よりも遅い。このため、第2対応部5bへの発泡性樹脂11の充填完了後(時刻t1以降)において、第1対応部5aと第2対応部5bとで発泡性樹脂11の温度が同じになるときがある(図6では、時刻t2で、第1対応部5a及び第2対応部5bにおける発泡性樹脂11の温度が共に第4温度T4となる)。第1対応部5aと第2対応部5bとで発泡性樹脂11の温度が同じになる時点(時刻t2)を含む所定期間の間は、第1対応部5aと第2対応部5bとで発泡性樹脂11の温度が略同じであると言える。上記所定時間は、上記所定期間の間に可動型4の後退が開始するような時間に設定される。 Assuming that the temperature of the expandable resin 11 in the second corresponding portion 5b at the time when the filling of the expandable resin 11 in the second corresponding portion 5b is completed (time t1) is a third temperature T3, the third temperature T3 is the second temperature. Lower than T2. With the lapse of time from the completion of the filling of the expandable resin 11 into the second corresponding portion 5b, the temperature of the expandable resin 11 in the first corresponding portion 5a decreases from the second temperature T2 to the second temperature T2. The temperature of the expandable resin 11 in the corresponding portion 5b decreases from the third temperature T3 (see the temperatures of the expandable resin 11 in the first corresponding portion 5a and the second corresponding portion 5b from time t1 in FIG. 6). . Here, since the skin material 62 is interposed between the foamable resin 11 and the movable mold 4 in the second corresponding portion 5b, the heat transfer to the movable mold 4 is blocked by the skin material 62 . As a result, the rate of decrease in the temperature of the foamable resin 11 in the second corresponding portion 5b is slower than the rate of decrease in the temperature of the foamable resin 11 in the first corresponding portion 5a. Therefore, after the filling of the expandable resin 11 into the second corresponding portion 5b is completed (after time t1), the temperature of the expandable resin 11 may become the same between the first corresponding portion 5a and the second corresponding portion 5b. (In FIG. 6, at time t2, the temperature of the expandable resin 11 in the first corresponding portion 5a and the second corresponding portion 5b both reach the fourth temperature T4). For a predetermined period of time including the time point (time t2) when the temperature of the expandable resin 11 becomes the same between the first corresponding portion 5a and the second corresponding portion 5b, foaming is performed in the first corresponding portion 5a and the second corresponding portion 5b. It can be said that the temperature of the elastic resin 11 is substantially the same. The predetermined time is set such that the movable mold 4 starts to move backward during the predetermined period.

可動型4の後退完了から、発泡性樹脂11が完全に固化するような時間に予め設定された第2設定時間が経過したとき、成形型2の型開きが開始し、型開きが完了した状態で、発泡樹脂成形品60がキャビティ5から取り出される。 A state in which the opening of the molding die 2 is started and the opening is completed when a second set time preset to the time at which the foamable resin 11 is completely solidified has passed since the retraction of the movable mold 4 was completed. Then, the foamed resin molded product 60 is taken out from the cavity 5 .

したがって、本実施形態では、キャビティ5の第1対応部5aから発泡性樹脂11の供給を開始して、第1対応部5aに供給された発泡性樹脂11を、第1対応部5aからキャビティ5の第2対応部5bに供給することで、キャビティ5への発泡性樹脂11の充填を行うとともに、第1対応部5aと第2対応部5bとで発泡性樹脂11の温度が略同じになるときに、可動型4の後退を開始するようにしたので、第1対応部5aと第2対応部5bとで発泡性樹脂11の発泡性が略同じになり、発泡後の発泡性樹脂11の気泡の大きさを揃えることができるようになる。よって、発泡性樹脂11全体で均一な大きさの気泡が得られようになる。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, the supply of the foamable resin 11 is started from the first corresponding portion 5a of the cavity 5, and the foamable resin 11 supplied to the first corresponding portion 5a is supplied to the cavity 5 from the first corresponding portion 5a. By supplying the foaming resin 11 to the second corresponding portion 5b, the cavity 5 is filled with the foaming resin 11, and the temperature of the foaming resin 11 becomes substantially the same between the first corresponding portion 5a and the second corresponding portion 5b. Since the movable mold 4 starts to move backward, the foamability of the foamable resin 11 becomes substantially the same between the first corresponding portion 5a and the second corresponding portion 5b. It becomes possible to align the size of the bubbles. Therefore, bubbles having a uniform size can be obtained in the entire foamable resin 11 .
