く。2. Description of the Related Art Commercialization of an injection molded product having a hollow portion has been promoted.
In recent years, it has spread rapidly. For molding an injection-molded article having a hollow portion, an injection mold having a cavity, a molten resin injection portion, and a pressurized fluid introduction portion is used. Then, during or after completion of injection of the molten thermoplastic resin into the cavity from the molten resin injection section, the pressurized fluid is introduced from the pressurized fluid introduction section into the molten thermoplastic resin in the cavity, whereby the injection molded article is formed. Is molded. Such injection molding methods are classified into so-called full-shot injection molding methods in which the inside of a cavity is completely filled with a molten thermoplastic resin, and so-called short-shot injection molding methods in which the inside of a cavity is not completely filled with a molten thermoplastic resin. You. By the short shot injection molding method, for example, a pipe-shaped injection molded product such as a handle, a lever, or a paper press roller having a hollow portion having a large hollow ratio can be formed.
When forming a grain on the surface of the injection-molded product, a necessary portion (sometimes called a design surface) of a cavity surface of a mold constituting the cavity is subjected to grain processing. That is, for example, fine irregularities are formed on the design surface of the mold.

が目立つ状態となる。In the short-shot injection molding method, during the initial stage of injection of the molten thermoplastic resin into the cavity, the injection between the molten thermoplastic resin injected into the cavity and the mold is performed. Does not proceed sufficiently, and the molten thermoplastic resin is kept at a relatively high temperature, so that the viscosity of the molten thermoplastic resin is low. Moreover,
In order to fill the cavity with the viscous molten thermoplastic resin, the filling pressure of the molten thermoplastic resin by the injection ram of the injection molding machine is high. Therefore, the molten thermoplastic resin immediately after injection into the cavity is strongly pressed against the cavity surface of the mold. As a result, the transferability of the cavity surface to the surface of the portion of the injection molded article located near the molten resin injection portion is improved. That is, the grained portion applied to the cavity surface of the mold is satisfactorily transferred to the surface of the injection molded product. However, a part of the injection molded product obtained as a result of the molten thermoplastic resin flowing in the cavity by the pressurized fluid introduced during or after the injection of the molten thermoplastic resin has a certain degree of solidification of the thermoplastic resin. The transferability of the cavity surface to the surface of the portion of the injection molded article is not so good because the film is formed at the time when the process proceeds to a certain extent. In other words, the textured portion applied to the cavity surface of the mold is not transferred sufficiently to the surface of the injection molded product, and the textured portion becomes noticeable.

対処するために以下の対策がとられているが、射出成形
品の生産に難渋しているのが実状である。As described above, the difference between the injection timing of the molten thermoplastic resin and the introduction timing of the pressurized fluid causes a difference in the transferability of the cavity surface to the surface of the injection molded product. Product value may be significantly impaired.
In particular, this difference in transferability occurs remarkably in the case of an injection-molded product having a textured design surface and a long injection-molded product. Conventionally, the following measures have been taken in order to deal with such a difference in transferability, but in reality, it is difficult to produce injection molded products.

果、射出成形品の生産コストの増加につながる。[0005] If the pressure of the pressurized fluid to be introduced into the molten thermoplastic resin is increased, the molten thermoplastic resin injected into the cavity is strongly pressed against the cavity surface of the mold, so that the transferability is improved. . However, the method of recovering the pressurized fluid remaining in the hollow portion formed in the thermoplastic resin is complicated, and the production cost of the injection molded article increases with the installation of the recovery equipment. Further, there is a case where a hollow portion formed in the thermoplastic resin is communicated with the atmosphere before the mold is opened because removal of the decomposition gas generated from the molten thermoplastic resin is complicated. However, because it communicates with the atmosphere,
As the pressure of the pressurized fluid increases, the consumption of the pressurized fluid increases, which leads to an increase in the production cost of the injection molded product.

クルが延びる結果、生産性を著しく損なう。[0006] When the melting temperature of the thermoplastic resin is increased, the transferability is improved, but poor appearance such as silver stripes (also referred to as silver or silver wire) occurs due to thermal degradation of the thermoplastic resin. Further, although the transferability is improved even when the mold temperature is increased, the solidification time of the molten thermoplastic resin is prolonged, and the molding cycle is prolonged. As a result, productivity is significantly impaired.

An object of the present invention is to provide an injection molding method capable of forming an injection mold, and a mold for injection molding suitable for carrying out the injection molding method.

The mean value R 2 of the molten thermoplastic in the injection completion time of the resin molten thermoplastic resin in contact though not depth R z of the embossed decorated with portions of the cavity surface, the heat of fusion at the completion of injection time of the molten thermoplastic resin it is preferred to deeper than the average value R 1 of the depth R z of the embossed decorated with portions of the cavity surface in contact with the thermoplastic resin. Alternatively, a pressurized fluid is introduced from the pressurized fluid introduction section during the injection of the molten thermoplastic resin, and the surface of the cavity surface that is not in contact with the molten thermoplastic resin when the injection of the molten thermoplastic resin is completed. the mean value R 2 of the machining depth R z, than the average value R 1 of the molten thermoplastic resin in contact with the depth R z of the embossed decorated with portions of the cavity surfaces at the completion of injection time of the molten thermoplastic resin Preferably, it is deep. Alternatively, a pressurized fluid is introduced from the pressurized fluid introduction portion during injection of the molten thermoplastic resin, and graining is performed on a portion of the cavity surface that is not in contact with the molten thermoplastic resin at the start of the introduction of the pressurized fluid. mean value R 1 of the depth of the mean value R 2 of R z, the decorated with the depth of the embossing portion of the cavity surface in contact with molten thermoplastic resin introduced beginning of pressurized fluid R z
It is preferable to make it deeper. The depth Rz may be continuously and gradually increased, or may be increased stepwise (stepwise). In the latter case, the depth Rz of the graining at a certain stage may be increased. The depth may be gradually increased continuously. still,
The change in the depth of the graining (R 2 / R 1 ) depends on the injection-molded product to be molded, but is preferably from 1.05 to 50, preferably from 1.1 to 30. In actual molding of an injection molded product, it may be difficult to strictly separate a portion of the cavity surface that is not in contact with the molten thermoplastic resin from a portion of the cavity surface that is in contact with the molten thermoplastic resin. it if can also occur where the the portion of the cavity surface depth average value R 2 in contact slightly molten thermoplastic resin, all parts of the cavity surface depth average value R 1 of the graining is contact with the molten thermoplastic resin It can also happen if not. Therefore, the boundary between the portion of the cavity surface not in contact with the molten thermoplastic resin and the portion of the cavity surface in contact with the molten thermoplastic resin is calculated from the volume of the molten thermoplastic resin to be injected and the volume of the cavity. Note that, in the alternative embodiment, the average of the depth Rz of the graining process on the cavity surface forming the portion of the cavity near the molten resin injection portion, which is the region where the first molten thermoplastic resin is injected into the cavity, the value R 0, it is preferred to shallower than the depth average value R 1 of the graining, for (R 0 / R 1), it depends on the injection-molded article to be molded, 0.5
It is desirably 0.95 to 0.95. The first injection of the molten thermoplastic resin into the cavity means that 5% to 30% of the amount of the molten thermoplastic resin to be injected into the cavity is injected into the cavity. . Here, or which of the modes should be adopted may be determined as appropriate by conducting tests and the like depending on the shape, size, and the like of the injection molded product to be molded.
