2. Description of the Related Art As a simultaneous injection molding painting method for integrally adhering a painting sheet to the surface of a molded article at the same time as injection molding, conventionally, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 50-19132, a strip-shaped sheet or a sheet is used. The pictured sheet consisting of a sheet is made to face the cavity surface of the female mold (usually a movable mold) and is heated and softened by a heating plate etc., and then adhered along the cavity surface of the female mold by vacuum molding and / or pressure molding. After that, it is general that the female mold and the male mold are closed, and a resin in a fluid state is injected and filled into the female mold from the male mold side to perform injection molding.

According to such a simultaneous injection molding painting method, even if the product to be obtained is a deep-drawing product having large irregularities, the painting sheet follows and closely adheres to the cavity surface corresponding to the shape of the product. Therefore, it becomes possible to mold the painted sheet and the injection-molded product faithfully to the shape of the mold. As the picture-added sheet, either a laminated laminated sheet (laminate sheet) or a transfer sheet is used depending on the product type, and when the sheet is a laminated sheet, the painting is performed as it is by injection molding. Then, the entire layer of the sheet is adhered and integrated with the outer surface of the injection-molded product to form a decorative layer. On the other hand, when the decorative sheet is a transfer sheet, only the base material sheet of the decorative sheet integrated on the outer surface of the molded product is peeled off in the subsequent step, and the transfer layer such as the pattern layer is transferred to the molded product side. Painting is completed by leaving it as a decorative layer.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional method, since the picture-added sheet is formed so as to follow the female mold cavity surface from the planar state at once by vacuum suction / pressurized air supply, the product to be obtained is deep drawing. For goods,
It was difficult to align the mold with the painting sheet. That is, as shown in FIGS. 10 (A), 10 (B), and 10 (C), when it is desired to accurately align the position of the decorative pattern such as the picture pattern of the painting sheet 5 with the molded product, that is, the female Specific point X on the cavity surface 3 of the mold 2 and point Y on the painted sheet
When it is desired to match the above, the cavity surface 3 of the female mold 2 is preliminarily taken into consideration as shown in FIG. Point Y on the painting sheet 5 for a specific point X in
Even if the position of (the supply position of the painted sheet 5) is determined,
When vacuum suction / compressed air supply is performed on the decorative sheet 5 as in (B), the softened decorative sheet moves in the space for a long distance. Therefore, the position of the point Y on the decorative sheet 5 depends on the conditions (temperature, Due to pressure etc., there is a slight deviation, and finally,
As shown in (C), a deviation of the distance α with respect to the point X occurs. Further, such a deviation causes distortion in the decorative pattern.

The simultaneous injection-molding painting method and apparatus of the present invention is particularly effective for painting a deep-drawing product having a large (deep) drawing amount and a molded product having a complicated shape. . In order to obtain such a deep-drawing-formed product, after heating and softening (preforming) the sheet with a known heating plate or the like, the sheet may be sucked and held by a movable die so as to be along the cavity surface. . However, doing so is good in terms of formability and shape-following property of the painting sheet, but since the stretching amount of the painting sheet becomes large,
The positional deviation between the female mold cavity surface and the decorative pattern of the decorative sheet is likely to be large as compared with the case where preforming is not performed.

In the injection molding simultaneous painting method according to the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, the movable die is advanced to the side of the painting sheet, and the tip end surface of the painting sheet is adsorbed and held. As a result, a specific portion of the decorative sheet is fixed to the tip surface of the movable die that forms a part of the cavity surface, the movable die is retracted as it is, and the decorative sheet is drawn into the cavity.
While forming the tip surface as a part of the cavity surface,
Further, if necessary, the drawing sheet is brought into close contact with the entire cavity surface by vacuum suction or the like, and then ordinary injection molding is performed.

By doing so, since the movable die of the rigid body mechanically moves with respect to the female die of the rigid body while sucking and holding the decorative sheet, the decorative sheet is drawn into the cavity. As compared with the case where the heated softened painted sheet is stretched by vacuum suction and compressed air supply and has an indefinite shape and is drawn into the cavity without being supported by anything in the free space, the painted sheet for molded products (Ornamental pattern) is less likely to be misaligned, and the alignment accuracy is significantly improved.
Molding failure can be made less likely to occur.

As a result, a specific portion of the painted sheet 5 is fixed to the tip surface 30a of the movable die 30 forming a part of the cavity surface 20. Here, in this example, in order to accurately align the position of the decorative pattern such as the picture pattern of the painting sheet 5 with the molded product, the tip surface of the movable die 30 forming a part of the cavity surface 20 of the female die 12. A specific point X (center point in this case) of 30a is made to coincide with a point Y of the picture-added sheet 5 (this is the central portion of the pattern requiring dimensional accuracy).

When air remains between the decorative sheet 5 and the cavity surface 20, or when the drawing sheet 5 cannot be brought into close contact with the cavity surface only by the drawing and suction action of the movable die 30. As shown in FIG. 5, air is apt to remain and transfer defects and molding defects are likely to occur. For example, vacuum suction passages 37, 37 are provided so as to open at the cavity corners, and the suction pipe 32 and the vacuum suction passages are provided. In addition to the holes 33, the vacuum suction passages 37, 37
Vacuum suction may be performed through. In this case, vacuum suction through the vacuum suction passages 37, 37 starts after the decorative sheet 5 is suction-held on the front end surface 30a of the movable die 30. In the case where only the portion of the painted sheet that is disliked by the positional displacement or distortion is adsorbed to the front end surface 30a of the movable die 30 and the other portions do not require strictness for the positional displacement or distortion, FIG. The injection molding may be performed in this state.
