DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a multi-layer injection molding machine for press-fitting a skin layer resin and a core layer resin from respective injection units into a cavity in a mold and molding the resin.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, from the viewpoint of material cost and effective use of resources, it has been necessary to manufacture a molded product in which all or part of a low-quality or low-cost core layer resin is coated with a desired skin layer resin. Are desired, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 2-3077.
No. 12 discloses a multi-layer injection molding machine capable of molding the above-mentioned molded product in one processing operation.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, a multi-layer injection molding machine has a heating cylinder 51 capable of increasing the internal temperature to a predetermined temperature or higher.
And a skin layer injection unit 56 and a core layer injection unit 57 having an extrusion screw 52 rotatably provided in the heating cylinder 51. These injection units 56 and 57 are joined to the nozzle member 54. As shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, the skin layer resin flow path 54a and the core layer resin A flow path 54b is formed, and an inner torpedo 58 for opening and closing the resin flow paths 54a and 54b is provided.

[0004] In injection molding, FIG.
As shown in the figure, the inner torpedo 58 is advanced to close both resin flow paths 54a and 54b, and each injection unit 5
By retracting the inner torpedo 58 while injecting the skin layer resin and the core layer resin from 6.57, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), only the skin layer resin flow path 54a is opened to remove the skin layer resin. Press-fit into the mold 55 of FIG.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG.
Is advanced to an intermediate position to open both resin flow paths 54a and 54b, so that the core layer resin is covered with the skin layer resin and press-fitted.

[0005]

By the way, in the case of a multi-layer injection molding machine, when the core layer resin appears on the surface covered with the skin layer resin, the core layer resin causes a defect in a subsequent process. It is very important that the core layer resin can be reliably coated.

However, in the above-described conventional configuration, the forward and backward movement of the inner torpedo 58 causes the two resin flow paths 54a and 5a to move.
4b, the opening diameter of each of the resin flow paths 54a and 54b cannot be individually controlled. Therefore, even if it is attempted to finely adjust the press-fit amount of the core layer resin by operating the opening diameter of the core layer resin flow path 54b so as to surely cover the core layer resin with the skin layer resin, Since the opening diameter is operated together with the core layer resin flow path 54b,
There is a problem that it is difficult to press-fit the core layer resin into the skin layer resin at a desired ratio.

In particular, when both resin flow paths 54a and 54b are opened and closed by the forward and backward movement of the inner torpedo 58, at the start of press-fitting, as shown in FIG. When the inner torpedo 58 is retracted to open the skin layer resin flow passage 54a as shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), both resin flow paths 54a and 54b are in a state of being opened. Therefore, at the start of press-fitting, there is a possibility that the core layer resin is mixed into the skin layer resin from the core layer resin flow path 54b, so that it is extremely difficult to surely cover the core layer resin with the skin layer resin. ing.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a multiple-layer injection molding machine capable of reliably coating a core layer resin with a skin layer resin.

[0009]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 is directed to a method in which an injection unit for a core layer and an injection unit for a skin layer are applied to a cavity formed in a mold. In a multi-layer injection molding machine for molding a molded product in which the core layer resin is covered with the skin layer resin by press-fitting the resin and the skin layer resin, the resin flow from the core layer injection unit to the cavity portion is formed. It is characterized by having a passage opening and closing means for opening and closing the road. Thereby, by closing the resin flow path of the core layer resin at the start of press-fitting of the skin layer resin, it is possible to prevent the core layer resin from being mixed into the skin layer resin. Further, only the press-fit amount of the core layer resin can be finely adjusted by operating the resin flow path of the core layer resin with the flow path opening / closing means. Press-fit in ratio. Therefore, the core layer resin can be reliably covered with the skin layer resin at the start of press-fitting and during the entire period of press-fitting.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, an injection unit for a core layer and an injection for a skin layer are formed in a cavity formed by pressing a movable mold against a fixed mold fixed to a support member and clamping the mold. In a multi-layer injection molding machine for molding a molded product in which the core layer resin is covered with the skin layer resin by press-fitting the core layer resin and the skin layer resin from the unit, the fixed mold is fixed to the support member. And a connecting device main body interposed between the fixed mold and the supporting member, and a resin flow provided in the connecting device main body and provided with a resin flow path for communicating the cavity portion with each of the injection units. Path means, and flow path opening / closing means provided in the connection device main body, for opening / closing a resin flow path from the core layer injection unit to the cavity portion. It is characterized. As a result, by matching the design specifications of the connecting device body and the resin flow path means with the existing molds and injection molding machines, the multi-layer injection molding can be performed by using these existing molds and injection molding machines as they are. Machine. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a multi-layer injection molding machine for an arbitrary number of layers while effectively utilizing existing equipment, and at the time of starting press-fitting by the multi-layer injection molding machine thus obtained and The core layer resin can be reliably covered with the skin layer resin during the entire press-fitting period.

The invention according to claim 3 is that, after the core layer resin is pressed together with the skin layer resin by opening a resin flow path,
During the press-in period of the skin layer resin, after the press-in of the core layer resin is completed and once closed, the resin flow path is re-flowed so that the skin layer resin flows back into the resin flow path of the core layer resin. It is characterized in that it is opened for a predetermined time. Thus, after the press-in of the core layer resin is completed, the skin layer resin is positively made to flow backward in the resin flow path of the core layer resin, so that when the next press-in of the skin layer resin is started, the resin flow path of the core layer resin slightly increases. Therefore, even if the timing of the leakage or the opening of the plug is shifted, it is possible to reliably prevent the core layer resin from being mixed into the skin layer resin by leaking only the skin layer resin. Therefore, the core layer resin can be more reliably covered with the skin layer resin.

The operation of the multi-layer injection molding machine having the above configuration will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the mold opening / closing cylinder 5 and the molds 8.9 provided on the mold clamping base 1 via the support members 3a and 3b, and the skin installed on the injection unit mounting table 2. In the case where a single-layer injection molding machine having the layer injection unit 13 already exists and this injection molding machine is used as a two-layer multi-layer injection molding machine, the injection unit connecting device 10 and the The slide mechanism 14 and the core layer injection unit 12 are assembled.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the injection unit connecting device 10 is fixed to the support member 3b by attaching the fixing plate 16 to the support member 3b. Then, by attaching the fixed mold 9 to the mold joining board 15, the fixed mold 9 is connected to the support member 3 via the injection unit connecting device 10.
b. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3, the slide mechanism 14 is attached to the upper end of the support member 3b, and then the core layer injection unit 12 is attached to the slide mechanism 14, whereby a two-layer multi-layer injection molding machine is provided. And

Next, the core layer resin and the skin layer resin are put into hoppers (not shown) of the core layer injection unit 12 and the skin layer injection unit 13, respectively. And
As shown in FIG. 1, the nozzle unit 12a of the injection unit 12 for the core layer and the nozzle unit 12a of the injection unit 13 for the skin layer are brought into contact with the adapter member 23 and the male laminated member 19, respectively, thereby completing the preparation for injection molding. I do.

Thereafter, when the start of injection molding is instructed by pressing a molding start button (not shown) or the like, the multi-layer injection molding machine causes the movable mold 8 to be moved by the mold opening / closing cylinder 5 as shown in FIG. The movable mold 8 is moved in the direction of the fixed mold 9 and the movable mold 8 is pressed against the fixed mold 9 with a predetermined pressing force to perform mold clamping. Then, when the cavity 11 is formed in the molds 8 and 9 by mold clamping, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2,
The skin layer resin is charged into the skin layer injection unit 13 and heated to discharge the molten skin layer resin prior to the core layer resin. At this time, the core layer flow path 19d is
The passage opening / closing member 22 is closed by advancing the closing member 22a as indicated by a two-dot chain line. Accordingly, since the core layer flow path 19d is completely closed by the plug member 22a, the core layer resin does not mix with the discharged skin layer resin.

The skin layer resin is supplied to the skin layer flow path 19 of the injection unit connecting device 10 through the nozzle portion 13a.
b, and proceeds while being branched in a plurality of directions in the skin layer flow path 19b. Then, as the skin layer resin further advances in the skin layer flow path 19b, it flows out into the gap between the inclined convex portion 19c of the male-side laminated member 19 and the gathering path 20a of the female laminated member 20, and the inclined convex portion 19c Flows in the direction of the fixed mold 9 while completely covering the inclined wall surface of the mold.

On the other hand, when a predetermined waiting time elapses after the skin layer resin is discharged, the plug member 22a of the flow channel opening / closing member 22 is retracted to thereby set the core layer flow channel 19d.
Is opened. Then, the core layer injection unit 12
The core layer resin is charged and heated, and the molten core layer resin is discharged at a pressure lower than the discharge pressure of the skin layer resin. The core layer resin is supplied to the core layer flow path 20 of the female side laminated member 20 and the male side laminated member 19 via the resin introduction member 21.
c ・ 19d, and after the traveling direction is bent by the plugging member 22a, flows out from the tip of the inclined convex portion 19c.
At this time, the skin layer resin discharged earlier gathers at the tip of the inclined convex portion 19c along the inclined wall surface of the inclined convex portion 19c. Accordingly, the core layer resin that has flowed out from the tip end of the inclined convex portion 19c passes through the core layer flow path 20c together with the skin layer resin while being completely covered with the skin layer resin, and the cavity portion of the fixed mold 9 is formed. 11 will be press-fitted.

As shown in FIG. 2, the skin layer resin and the core layer resin are press-fitted at a higher pressure than the core layer resin. And
The injection of the core layer resin is completed prior to the injection of the skin layer resin, and as shown in FIG.
Close the cap. Thereafter, during the pressure-holding period of the skin layer resin, the core layer flow path 19d is opened by retracting the plugging member 22a with respect to the flow path opening / closing member 22, whereby the skin layer resin existing in the collective path 20a is opened. Flows back into the core layer flow paths 19d and 20c. Then, after a lapse of time when it is considered that a sufficient amount of the skin layer resin is filled in the core layer channels 19d and 20c, the closing member 22a is advanced to close the core layer channel 19d.

As described above, the skin layer resin and the core layer resin are press-fitted in a predetermined amount unit, and when one injection molding is completed, a standby state is established, and when the start of the next injection molding is instructed, The above series of operations will be repeated again. As a result, only the skin layer resin is present in the core layer flow path 19d closed by the plugging member 22a, so that the core layer resin is reliably prevented from being mixed into the skin layer resin in the initial press-fitting in the next injection molding. Press-fitting is possible.

As described above, the multi-layer injection molding machine of the present embodiment uses the core layer injection unit 12 and the skin layer injection unit 13 for the cavity 11 formed in the dies 8 and 9. A molded product in which the core layer resin is covered with the skin layer resin is formed by press-fitting the layer resin and the skin layer resin, respectively. The core layer flow path 19 d from the core layer injection unit 12 to the cavity 11 is formed. The structure includes a flow path opening / closing member 22 (flow path opening / closing means) that opens and closes (resin flow path). In the present embodiment, the flow passage opening / closing member 22 is constituted by a hydraulic cylinder. However, any structure may be used as long as the closing member 22a such as an air cylinder, a screw drive, and a link mechanism is moved forward and backward.

Thus, at the start of press-fitting of the skin layer resin, by closing the core layer flow path 19d,
It is possible to prevent the core layer resin from being mixed into the skin layer resin. In addition, since only the press-fit amount of the core layer resin can be finely adjusted by adjusting the advance amount of the plug member 22a, it is possible to press-fit the core layer resin into the skin layer resin at a desired ratio during press-fit. it can. Therefore,
The core layer resin can be reliably covered with the skin layer resin at the start of press-fitting and during the entire period of press-fitting.

The multi-layer injection molding machine of the present embodiment
In order to fix the fixed mold 9 to the support member 3b, a connecting device main body (die joining board 15, fixed plate 16) interposed between the fixed mold 9 and the support member 3b is provided on the connecting device main body. The cavity 11 and each injection unit 12
13 and a resin channel (skin layer channel 19b,
Resin channel means (male-side laminated member 19, female-side laminated member 20, resin introduction member 21) provided with core layer channel 19d and the like.
And a core layer injection unit 1
And a flow path opening / closing member 22 that opens and closes a core layer flow path 19 d from the second part 2 to the cavity part 11.

Thus, by further matching the design specifications of the mold joining machine 15 and the male laminated member 19 with those of the existing fixed mold 9 and the injection molding machine, these existing fixed molds 9 and the injection molding machine can be obtained. The machine can be used as it is to form a multi-layer injection molding machine. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a multi-layer injection molding machine while effectively utilizing existing equipment.

In the present embodiment, after the core layer resin is pressed together with the skin layer resin by opening the core layer flow path 19d, the core layer flow path 19d is opened to start press-fitting, and After the press-in of the core layer resin is completed and the plug is closed once during the press-in period of the layer resin, the core layer flow path 19d is opened again for a predetermined time so that the skin layer resin flows backward into the core layer flow path 19d. It is configured to be. In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the core layer flow path 19d is opened at the time of pressure holding during the press-fitting period. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The core layer flow path 19d may be opened for a predetermined time when the resin is injected.

Thus, after completion of the press-fitting of the core layer resin,
By positively flowing the skin layer resin back into the core layer flow path 19d of the core layer resin, at the start of the next press-fitting of the skin layer resin, some leakage and opening timing of the core layer flow path 19d are reduced. Even if the displacement occurs, it is possible to reliably prevent the core layer resin from being mixed into the skin layer resin. Therefore, the core layer resin can be more reliably covered with the skin layer resin.
