Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a method capable of easily manufacturing a hollow pipe with complicated configurations of curved parts or branches by inserting into a mold a core obtained by blow-molding a water soluble resin, and injection- molding a thermoplastic resin for molding therearound, thereafter, dissolving the core into water and then removing it therefrom. CONSTITUTION:For instance, by using a water soluble polyethylene oxide resin, a molding having S-shaped configuration is blow-molded by means of a blow molding machine at the resin temperature of 100 deg.C. The molding obtained in this manner is cooled at the temperature of -40 deg.C and then inserted into the mold. In the next place, high density polyethylene resin is injection-molded at the resin temperature of 200 deg.C into a molding having flanges in both its ends. The article obtained in this fashion is left for 24 hours in a water bath in which water of 50 deg.C circulates therearound, and the water soluble resin is desolved, thereby obtaining a resin hollow pipe having a predetermined config uration. By this manufacture, a pipe having complicated configurations of curved parts, branches, and the like can be manufactured readily. And, heat deformation or heat deterioration can be reduced therefor.

Extrusion molding, blow molding, and the like are conventionally known methods for manufacturing resin hollow tubes. However, with these methods, the degree of freedom in the shape of the hollow tube is limited, and it is particularly difficult to obtain a product having a flange portion. That is, although extrusion molding allows hollow tubes to be manufactured continuously, it is almost impossible to obtain products that have different shapes, branches, or flanges along the way. In addition, in the case of blow molding, it is possible to obtain products that have branches or whose outer diameter changes midway through, but it is difficult to obtain a smooth inner surface of the hollow tube, and moreover, it is difficult to obtain a product that has branches or whose outer diameter changes in the middle. The materials that can be used are limited by the viscous behavior of .

On the other hand, a method is known in which a core is used, resin is formed around the core by means such as injection molding or compression molding, and then the core is removed to obtain a hollow product. If the core is bent or branched, it is difficult to remove the core without destroying the resin. For this reason, a method has been proposed in which a low melting point alloy is used for the core and the core is melted at a temperature that does not melt the resin forming the hollow tube. However, in order to control the melting temperature of the low melting point alloy to a temperature at which the resin does not melt, it is necessary to blend rare metals such as bismuth, but the low melting point alloy itself is extremely expensive, and also has a low melting point. When melting the alloy,
There is a risk that gases harmful to health will be generated and cause pollution problems. In addition, because the resin content or resin additives are leached into the low melting point alloy, when recycling the low melting point alloy,
Work to remove the eluate is required, which also increases energy costs. Furthermore, since the resin is heated when melting the low melting point alloy, it is necessary to select a resin that does not undergo thermal deformation at the melting temperature of the alloy and has little thermal deterioration, which places restrictions on the resins that can be used.

Therefore, the reality is that no method has been found for manufacturing resin hollow tubes having bent portions and branches in an industrially easy manner without restrictions on the resin to be used.

Regarding the blow molding of the core using the water-soluble resin, blow molding methods and molding techniques well known to those skilled in the art can be applied. Although there is no particular restriction on the shape of the core, it is preferable to provide portions at both ends in advance for sandwiching and fixing the core between injection molds. Furthermore, it is preferable to set the wall thickness of the core to be thick enough to withstand the resin pressure during injection molding, and metal tubes are partially installed inside the blow-molded core for reinforcement. Even better results can be obtained by inserting .

The core thus obtained is inserted and fixed into a mold for injection molding, and a thermoplastic resin for molding is injection molded around its outer periphery. It is preferable to use a thermoplastic resin for molding the hollow tube that has a high melting point and specific heat that melts the surface of the core immediately, as this will cause roughness on the inner surface of the resulting hollow tube. do not have. Therefore, as the thermoplastic resin for molding, a resin with a melting point within a range of 100°C or more, preferably no more than 75°C higher than the melting point of the water-soluble resin forming the core is selected, and the pressure during injection molding can be lowered. Materials with low melt viscosity are used, and the injection pressure is 1000 kg/cd.
Among these, injection molding is preferably carried out under conditions of 600 kg/af or less. Foam molding to reduce resin pressure also gives good results. In addition, good results can also be obtained by cooling the core to a low temperature in advance and then inserting it into a mold for injection molding.

After molding the resin hollow tube, water or steam is used to dissolve and remove the water-soluble resin. The water-soluble resin is dissolved by immersing the molded product itself in water, leaving it under steam, or passing water or steam inside the core. Depending on the water-soluble resin, it is possible to increase the dissolution rate by adjusting the pH, and in that case, it is preferable to adjust the pH of the water within a range that does not attack the resin forming the hollow tube.
