【従来の技術とその課題】[Prior art and its problems]

周知のとおり、熱可塑性樹脂を射出成形するに当り、ホットランナ−方式が採 用されている。この方式は、溶融樹脂が供給されるランナ−(溶融樹脂がキヤビ ティに導入される湯道)の外周にヒ−タを装着して樹脂を溶融状態のままにして おき、成形品に残存する突起物を可及的になくすことにより、1)自動化、無人 化、仕上げ不要化を図り、2)成形サイクルアップ、材料のリサイクルを省くこ とを図り、3)精密成形品の成形サイクルの均一化を図る等の目的としたもので ある。 かかるホットランナ−方式に対し、各種の提案が行われているが、現在採用さ れている方式は、内部加熱式といわれるト−ピ−ド型のゲ−ト構造と、外部加熱 式といわれるバルブ型のゲ−ト構造とが主流になっている。前者は加熱ト−ピ− ド(魚雷形の加熱体)をゲ−ト口に近接させてゲ−ト口の樹脂を加熱溶融する方 式であって、加熱ト−ピ−ドの先端に加熱チップを突設し、この加熱チップと本 体のランナ−とを別々のヒ−タで加熱している。したがって、射出後、ランナ− によって誘導された常時溶融状態の樹脂を、加熱チップ用ヒ−タの通電を停止し 、ゲ−ト口の樹脂をキヤビティ内の樹脂と共に冷却固化させてシ−ルを行い、つ まりゲ−トを閉じ、次いで型開きすれば、成形品はゲ−ト口から切断する。成形 品取出後、次の射出開始前には加熱チップ用ヒ−タに通電して発熱させ、ゲ−ト 口の固化している樹脂を溶融して射出可能とするものである。したがって、かか るト−ピ−ド型のゲ−ト構造は、「動かないバルブ方式」といわれている。 ところで、かかるト−ピ−ド型のゲ−ト構造では、内部加熱式の加熱ト−ピ− ドの加熱領域が限られ、加熱される樹脂量は少なく、環状形になったランナ−の 流路が狭くなり、したがって、射出圧力を高くすることとなって、成形品には残 留応力が生じる等の悪影響があった。また、樹脂の色替等の作業でも加熱ト−ピ −ドが挿入されているランナ−ブッシュの内面には温度低下のため、前回の樹脂 が残留していて、新しい色替えの樹脂を射出すると、残留している樹脂がこれに 混入する、ということがあった(例えば、実公昭57−26747号公報参照) 。 そのため、かかる点では後者のバルブ型のゲ−ト構造の方が優れているといわ れているが、かかるゲ−ト構造は外部加熱式であるため、ノズルブッシュにおけ る温度分布も均一化され、しかも、小径のバルブピンを用いることからランナ− における流出圧力ロスを少なくし、ひいては射出圧力が低くできて、その上、ゲ −ト口を大きくできることから樹脂の充填を均一にできる等の特長を備えている 。 ところが、かかるバルブ型のゲ−ト構造では、バルブピンの作動をエア−また は油圧シリンダ−で行うので、その作動装置が必要となり、しかも、その作動装 置のメンテナンスも必要となる。その上、バルブピンをゲ−ト口へ着座させるた め、金属同士の接触となり、成形品にバリが発生する、という問題があった。 As is well known, a hot runner system is used for injection molding a thermoplastic resin. In this method, a heater is attached to the outer periphery of the runner (runner where the molten resin is introduced into the cavity) to which the molten resin is supplied, and the resin remains in the molten state and remains in the molded product. By eliminating protrusions as much as possible, 1) automation, unmanned, and finishing is not required, 2) increased molding cycle, material recycling is eliminated, and 3) uniform molding cycle for precision molded products The purpose is to promote Various proposals have been made for such a hot runner method, but the methods currently used are said to be an internal heating type, a top speed gate structure, and an external heating type. The valve type gate structure is mainly used. The former is a method to heat and melt the resin at the gate opening by bringing a heating top (torpedo shaped heating element) close to the gate opening. A tip is provided so that the heating tip and the main runner are heated by different heaters. Therefore, after injection, the resin in the always molten state induced by the runner is stopped by energizing the heater for the heating tip, and the resin at the gate port is cooled and solidified together with the resin in the cavity to form a seal. If the mold is closed, the gate is closed, and then the mold is opened, the molded product is cut from the gate opening. After the molded product is taken out and before the next injection is started, the heater for the heating chip is energized to generate heat, and the solidified resin in the gate port is melted to enable injection. Therefore, such a top speed gate structure is called a "non-moving valve system". By the way, in such a top-gate type gate structure, the heating area of the internally heated heating top is limited, the amount of resin to be heated is small, and the flow of the annular runner is reduced. The passage was narrowed, and therefore the injection pressure was increased, which adversely affected the residual stress on the molded product. In addition, even if the color of the resin is changed, the temperature of the inner surface of the runner bush, into which the heating tape is inserted, decreases, so the previous resin remains and a new color-change resin is injected. However, the residual resin is sometimes mixed in with the resin (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-26747). For this reason, the latter valve-type gate structure is said to be superior in this respect, but since this gate structure is of the external heating type, the temperature distribution in the nozzle bush is uniform. Moreover, the use of a small-diameter valve pin reduces the outflow pressure loss in the runner, which in turn lowers the injection pressure, and because the gate opening can be enlarged, the resin can be filled uniformly. Is equipped with. However, in such a valve-type gate structure, since the valve pin is operated by air or a hydraulic cylinder, its operating device is required, and maintenance of the operating device is also required. In addition, since the valve pin is seated on the gate opening, there is a problem in that metal parts come into contact with each other and burrs are generated in the molded product.

【課題を解決するための手段】[Means for Solving the Problems]

そこで本考案は、前述の内部加熱式と外部加熱式との各問題点を解決するため に創作されたもので、その要旨とするところは、中心線上にランナ−が貫通され た長寸のゲ−トノズルをキヤビティに臨ませ、その先端をキヤビティのゲ−ト口 とし、このゲ−トノズルの外周をノズルヒ−タで加熱した外部加熱式ホットラン ナ−において、前記ノズルヒ−タを、ランナ−を常時加熱するゲ−トノズル用ヒ −タと、ゲ−ト口を加熱または冷却するゲ−トコントロ−ルヒ−タとに分離独立 させ、このゲ−トコントロ−ルヒ−タを切換装置が付設された冷却パイプとヒ− タとで構成したことを特徴とする射出成形用ホットランナ−におけるゲ−ト構造 にある。 Therefore, the present invention was created in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the internal heating type and the external heating type. -In an external hot hot runner in which the nozzle is exposed to the cavity and the tip is the gate port of the cavity, and the outer periphery of this gate nozzle is heated by the nozzle heater, the nozzle heater and the runner are always connected.

【実施例】【Example】

本考案の構成を添付図面に示す実施例により詳細に述べる。 図1は本考案の実施例の全体断面図、図2は図1の要部詳細図、図3は他の実 施例の断面図である。 本実施例は、中型および大型の成形品(例えば、家電製品や自動車の計器板等 )を成形する射出成形機の外部熱式ホットランナ−に好適であって、1は固定型 で、不図示の可動型との間にキヤビティ2を構成している。この固定型1はノズ ル挿入孔3が穿設され、このノズル挿入孔3に案内部材4を介してゲ−トノズル 5が挿入されている。このゲ−トノズル5の中心線上に穿設されたランナ−6の 一端は、ゲ−ト口11を形成してキヤビティ2に臨んでおり、他端はマニ−ホ− ルド7に穿設されたランナ−8に連通している。なお、9は取付ブロックを示す 。 ここにおいて、ゲ−トノズル5の外周にはゲ−トノズル用ヒ−タ10が周設さ れており、このゲ−トノズル用ヒ−タ10よりゲ−ト口11側に、若干の隙間12 を介して、このゲ−トノズル用ヒ−タ10とは分離独立したゲ−トコントロ−ル ヒ−タブロック13がゲ−ト口11の外周近傍に周設されている。 このゲ−トコントロ−ルヒ−タブロック13には、冷却パイプ14とヒ−タ15 とが交互に並設して内蔵されており、この冷却パイプ14は冷却されたエア−ま たは不活性ガス等の冷媒が通るようになっており、ヒ−タ15は電気ヒ−タで構 成されている。したがって、冷却パイプ14に冷媒を通せばゲ−トコントロ−ル ヒ−タブロック13は冷却され、ゲ−ト口11にある溶融樹脂は冷却固化されて 、ゲ−トノズル5を閉塞するようになっている。 The structure of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a detailed view of essential parts of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view of another embodiment. This embodiment is suitable for an external heat type hot runner of an injection molding machine for molding medium-sized and large-sized molded products (for example, home electric appliances and instrument panels of automobiles), and 1 is a fixed mold, not shown. The cavity 2 is configured between the movable type and the movable type. The stationary die 1 is provided with a nozzle insertion hole 3 and a gate nozzle 5 is inserted into the nozzle insertion hole 3 via a guide member 4. One end of the runner 6 formed on the center line of the gate nozzle 5 forms a gate opening 11 to face the cavity 2 and the other end is formed in the manifold 7 It communicates with the runner-8. In addition, 9 shows a mounting block. Here, a gate nozzle heater 10 is provided around the gate nozzle 5, and a slight gap 12 is formed from the gate nozzle heater 10 to the gate opening 11 side. A gate control heater block 13 separate from and independent of the gate nozzle heater 10 is provided around the gate opening 11 in the vicinity thereof. In this gate control heater block 13, cooling pipes 14 and heaters 15 are alternately installed in parallel, and the built-in cooling pipes 14 are cooled by air or an inert gas. Etc., and the heater 15 is composed of an electric heater. Therefore, when the coolant is passed through the cooling pipe 14, the gate control heater block 13 is cooled, and the molten resin in the gate port 11 is cooled and solidified to close the gate nozzle 5. There is.

【0005】 次に、本実施例の作用を述べれば、ゲ−トノズル用ヒ−タ10は常時通電加熱 状態にあって、ランナ−6内の樹脂は溶融状態になっているが、射出成形の直前 に当りゲ−トコントロ−ルヒ−タブロック13のヒ−タ15に通電し、ゲ−ト口 11の樹脂を溶融する。1サイクルの射出が終了すれば、キヤビティ2は冷却さ れるので、その冷却に呼応して切換装置(切換スイッチと電磁バルブで構成した もの)により冷却パイプ14に冷媒を通す。その結果、前述の加熱ト−ピ−ド型 の通電停止と同様、ゲ−ト口11の樹脂は冷却固化されて閉塞する。 なお、本実施例は、図1または図2に示すようにゲ−トノズル5がキヤビティ 2側に突出されていないトップレス形で説明したが、本考案はこれに限らず、図 3に示すようにいわゆる標準型であってもよい。 また、ゲ−トコントロ−ルヒ−タブロックには、ヒ−トパイプを内蔵してゲ− ト口を加熱または冷却するようにしてもよい。Next, to describe the operation of the present embodiment, the heater 10 for the gate nozzle is always in an electrically heated state, and the resin in the runner 6 is in a molten state. Immediately before, the heater 15 of the hit control heater block 13 is energized to melt the resin at the gate port 11. When the injection of one cycle is completed, the cavity 2 is cooled, and in response to the cooling, the refrigerant is passed through the cooling pipe 14 by the switching device (which is composed of a switching switch and an electromagnetic valve). As a result, the resin at the gate port 11 is cooled and solidified and closed, as in the case of stopping the energization of the heating top type. Although the present embodiment has been described as a topless type in which the gate nozzle 5 does not project to the side of the cavity 2 as shown in FIG. 1 or 2, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. It may be a so-called standard type. Further, a heat pipe may be built in the gate control heater block to heat or cool the gate port.

【考案の効果】[Effect of the device]

本考案によれば、外部加熱式のゲ−トノズルであるので、従来におけるいわゆ るバルブ型のゲ−ト構造となって、その長所、例えばゲ−ト口を大きくできて樹 脂溶融状態を確保しながら大量の樹脂が射出できて成形サイクルを短縮できる等 が得られるのは勿論、ゲ−トコントロ−ルヒ−タを別に設けて、ゲ−ト口を開閉 させるので、従来のバルブ型ゲ−ト構造におけるゲ−トピンの駆動装置を必要と しなく、しかも、ゲ−トコントロ−ルヒ−タに冷却パイプとヒ−タとを組込んだ ので、これらの切換えによりゲ−ト口の開閉ができて、ホットランナ−全体を簡 素化できる。 According to the present invention, since it is an externally heated gate nozzle, it has a so-called valve type gate structure in the related art, and its advantage, for example, the gate opening can be made large and the resin melting state can be improved. It is possible to inject a large amount of resin while securing it and to shorten the molding cycle.Of course, a separate gate control heater is provided to open and close the gate opening. It does not require a gate pin drive device in the gate structure, and since the cooling pipe and the heater are incorporated in the gate control heater, the gate port can be opened and closed by switching these. The entire hot runner can be simplified.
