次に第2図に示す金型装置による凸レンズの射出成形を
例として、この発明の詳細な説明する。Next, the present invention will be described in detail using injection molding of a convex lens using the mold apparatus shown in FIG. 2 as an example.
まず、レンズ成形プラスチックのガラス転移点以上の温
度(180°〜190℃)に入子型3゜4を温めて置く
。First, a nesting mold 3.degree. 4 is heated to a temperature above the glass transition point of the lens molding plastic (180.degree. to 190.degree. C.).
この加温は電磁コイル14に通電を行ない、磁性体から

。必要ならば、流路16に轟温油を供給して入子型中央
部からも加温してもよい。This heating is performed by energizing the electromagnetic coil 14 and passing a high-frequency magnetic flux through the nested molds 3 and 4 made of magnetic material, thereby generating an eddy current inside the nested mold. This can be easily done by the Joule heat generated by If necessary, heating may also be performed from the center of the nested mold by supplying roaring hot oil to the flow path 16.
次に溶融プラスチックを金型装置に射出してキャビティ
6に充填する。キャビティ6はガラス転移点以上の温度
に保たれていることから、第5図に示すキャビティ内の
レンズ成形体22は固化せずに、溶融状態を維持してい
る。Molten plastic is then injected into the mold apparatus to fill the cavity 6. Since the cavity 6 is maintained at a temperature above the glass transition point, the lens molded body 22 in the cavity shown in FIG. 5 does not solidify but maintains a molten state.
充填完了後に、圧縮プランジャ9をもって可動側の入子
型4を軸方向に加圧し、溶融状態のレンズ成形体22を
圧縮する。この圧縮によりレンズ成形体における充填ヒ
ズミや配向ヒズミなどの内部ヒズミが除去される。After filling is completed, the movable nesting mold 4 is pressurized in the axial direction using the compression plunger 9 to compress the molten lens molded body 22. This compression removes internal distortions such as filling distortions and orientation distortions in the lens molded body.
この圧縮操作に並行して、レンズ成形体の冷却を開始す

、溶融部分は薄肉部分から消失して行くから、これを解
消して全体的に消失するように、周縁からの加熱はその
ままにして、中央部の流路16に低温油を供給し、厚肉
部分の冷却を強制的に促進する。In parallel with this compression operation, cooling of the lens molded body is started. The rate at which each part of the lens molded body solidifies due to cooling is different, and the molten part disappears from the thinner part, so in order to eliminate this and completely disappear, heating from the periphery is left as it is, and the melted part disappears from the center part. Low-temperature oil is supplied to the flow path 16 to forcibly promote cooling of the thick-walled portion.
このような冷却による固化の促進と、加熱による冷加固
化の抑制とによる操作は、厚肉部分と薄肉部分との固化
の進行バランスを考慮して行なわれる。Such operations of promoting solidification by cooling and suppressing cold solidification by heating are performed in consideration of the solidification progress balance between thick and thin portions.
この結果、レンズ成形体22は中心軸対称の温度勾配を
もって冷却されることになり、内部の溶融層23の層厚
は全体を通じて均一化して行くことになる。As a result, the lens molded body 22 is cooled with a temperature gradient symmetrical to the central axis, and the thickness of the internal molten layer 23 becomes uniform throughout.
この冷却操作は、溶融[123が殆ど均一になるまで行
ない。その後に全体を均一に冷却すると、レンズ成形体
内の溶融層23は肉厚側に片寄ることなく均等に層厚を
減じて固化して行く。This cooling operation is carried out until the melt [123] becomes almost uniform. After that, when the entire lens molded body is uniformly cooled, the molten layer 23 inside the lens molded body uniformly decreases in layer thickness and solidifies without being biased towards the thick side.

Therefore, even if there is a significant difference in wall thickness of the lens molded body, shrinkage distortion due to cooling does not occur, and a plastic lens with high shape accuracy can be injection molded more easily than before.

ができる。In addition, since the overall cooling temperature is controlled by both cooling and heating, it is easy to obtain a temperature gradient that corresponds to the wall thickness distribution of the lens molded object, and delicate temperature control is also possible. Injection molding can be carried out under the same means regardless of the

段の下に設定し易いなどの特長を有する。Furthermore, since the cavity is formed by a nested mold and a cooling means and a heating means are provided therein, lenses with different thickness distributions can be molded simply by replacing the nested mold.
With electromagnetic induction heating and heating with a heating fluid, it is easy to heat the entire thin wall part, and with electromagnetic induction heating in particular, it is easy to control the temperature, and it is easy to set the temperature balance for a specific molded object under the cooling means. It has characteristics.
