承上,發泡原料A呈熔融狀而在儲料腔室13中儲料的過程中,中段閥16為關閉,以控制儲料腔室13與混合腔室23為不連通,避免發泡原料不慎流入混合腔室23,此時的第一導料桿12受油壓馬達18帶動旋轉而逐漸退後(如圖5所示),此時計量件19(即實施例之電阻尺)隨之進行儲料腔室13所儲存之發泡原料A之計量,而待計量件19測得儲料腔室13儲存之發泡原料A已達一預定料量時,油壓馬達18即停止,接著進行第一階段射料202之步驟。On the other hand, in the process of storing the material in the material storage chamber 13, the foaming raw material A is in a molten state, and the middle valve 16 is closed to control the non-communication between the material storage chamber 13 and the mixing chamber 23, so as to avoid the foaming of the raw material. Accidentally flows into the mixing chamber 23, at this time the first material guide rod 12 is driven by the hydraulic motor 18 to rotate and gradually retreats (as shown in FIG. 5). The measurement of the foaming raw material A stored in the storage chamber 13 is carried out, and when the measuring element 19 detects that the foaming raw material A stored in the storage chamber 13 has reached a predetermined amount, the hydraulic motor 18 stops immediately. Next, the step of the first-stage injection 202 is performed.

於第一階段射料202之步驟中,由於儲料腔室13呈熔融狀之發泡原料A已儲存至所述預定料量,得由第一導料桿12推送而射入至混合腔室23。此時,中段閥16由原先之閉關狀態改為開啟,以控制儲料腔室13與混合腔室23為連通,由驅動缸17帶動第一導料桿12於儲料腔室13內直線位移而對發泡原料A進行推送,以使發泡原料A通過轉接座15之流道151而射入混合腔室23(如圖6所示),且經第二導料桿22受油壓馬達25帶動旋轉而逐漸退後,以將發泡原料A存積至混合腔室23前端,待混合腔室23之發泡原料A達到預定料量後,中段閥16改為關閉以使混合腔室23與儲料腔室13為不連通(如圖7所示)。In the first stage of material injection 202, since the molten foam material A in the material storage chamber 13 has been stored to the predetermined amount, it must be pushed by the first material guide rod 12 and injected into the mixing chamber. twenty three. At this time, the middle valve 16 is changed from the original closed state to open to control the communication between the material storage chamber 13 and the mixing chamber 23 , and the driving cylinder 17 drives the first material guide rod 12 to linearly displace in the material storage chamber 13 Then, the foaming raw material A is pushed, so that the foaming raw material A is injected into the mixing chamber 23 (as shown in FIG. 6 ) through the flow channel 151 of the adapter seat 15 , and is subjected to oil pressure through the second material guide rod 22 The motor 25 is driven to rotate and gradually retreat, so as to store the foaming raw material A at the front end of the mixing chamber 23. After the foaming raw material A in the mixing chamber 23 reaches a predetermined amount, the middle valve 16 is changed to be closed to make the mixing chamber 23. The chamber 23 is not in communication with the storage chamber 13 (as shown in FIG. 7 ).

於超臨界流體導入203之步驟中,主要係由超臨界流體供給單元30導入所述超臨界流體至混合腔室23內。於本實施例中係透過氣體計量閥36開啟而對所述超臨界流體進行計量,透過加壓泵浦33驅動加壓,以使瓶體31所釋放之超臨界流體經管路32而被導入混合腔室23(如圖8所示),氣體計量閥36在計量完成後關閉,而在加壓泵浦33驅動加壓時,可在儲氣瓶34中蓄壓,以確保超臨界流體維持在高壓下而輸送至混合腔室23。In the step of introducing the supercritical fluid 203 , the supercritical fluid is mainly introduced into the mixing chamber 23 by the supercritical fluid supply unit 30 . In the present embodiment, the supercritical fluid is measured by opening the gas metering valve 36, and the pressure is driven by the pressurizing pump 33, so that the supercritical fluid released by the bottle body 31 is introduced into the mixture through the pipeline 32. In the chamber 23 (as shown in FIG. 8 ), the gas metering valve 36 is closed after the metering is completed, and when the pressurizing pump 33 is driven to pressurize, the pressure can be accumulated in the gas storage cylinder 34 to ensure that the supercritical fluid is maintained at It is delivered to the mixing chamber 23 under high pressure.

必須說明的是,上述實施例係於第一階段射料202之步驟完成後,再接著進行超臨界流體導入203之步驟;然而,在不同實施例時,第一階段射料202之步驟,以及超臨界流體導入203之步驟可同步進行,意即發泡原料A射入混合腔室23時,瓶體31可同時釋放超臨界流體經管路32而導入混合腔室23(如圖9所示),亦可達到先後執行第一階段射料202之步驟和超臨界流體導入203之步驟相同之結果。在第一階段射料202之步驟和超臨界流體導入203之步驟同步執行時,由於儲料腔室13和混合腔室23為連通,超臨界流體為高壓狀態可對止逆環14形成逆推動作,使止逆環14之斜凹部142止擋在斜錐部121,以產生止逆作用而使混合腔室23內之發泡原料A維持在高壓狀態。It must be noted that, in the above embodiment, after the first-stage injection 202 is completed, the step of introducing the supercritical fluid 203 is followed; however, in different embodiments, the first-stage injection 202 and The step of introducing the supercritical fluid into 203 can be performed simultaneously, that is, when the foaming raw material A is injected into the mixing chamber 23, the bottle 31 can simultaneously release the supercritical fluid through the pipeline 32 and introduce it into the mixing chamber 23 (as shown in FIG. 9 ). , the same result can be achieved by successively executing the step of the first-stage material injection 202 and the step of introducing the supercritical fluid 203 . When the first-stage injection 202 and the supercritical fluid introduction 203 are performed synchronously, since the storage chamber 13 and the mixing chamber 23 are in communication, the supercritical fluid is in a high-pressure state, which can cause a reverse push to the check ring 14 The slanted concave portion 142 of the non-return ring 14 stops at the slanted cone portion 121 , so as to produce an anti-return effect and maintain the foaming material A in the mixing chamber 23 in a high pressure state.

混合204之步驟,係於第一階段射料202之步驟及超臨界流體導入203之步驟先後或同步執行而完成後開始。在此步驟中,係由油壓馬達25帶動第二導料桿22於混合腔室23中旋轉,此時藉由混拌段221對混合腔室23內之發泡原料A和所述超臨界流體進行攪拌,使發泡原料A及所述超臨界流體在混合腔室23內達到充分混合的狀態,續經第二導料桿22受油壓馬達25帶動旋轉而逐漸退後,以將充分混合超臨界流體之發泡原料A存積至混合腔室23前端,接著進行第二階段射料205之步驟。假設發泡原料A在儲料腔室13中經第一導料桿12攪拌後,其熔融狀之程度未能達到均勻狀態,即可在此混合204之步驟中,以混拌段221在混合腔室23內對發泡原料A和所述超臨界流體進行攪拌時,再一次對發泡原料A進行攪拌,故待混合204之步驟完成時,發泡原料A已先後經由第一導料桿12和混拌段221重覆且連續攪拌,俾讓發泡原料A在混合腔室23中均勻地呈現為熔融狀,且使超臨界流體在發泡原料中分布均勻。The step of mixing 204 starts after the step of injecting material 202 in the first stage and the step of introducing supercritical fluid 203 are executed sequentially or simultaneously. In this step, the hydraulic motor 25 drives the second material guide rod 22 to rotate in the mixing chamber 23. At this time, the mixing section 221 controls the foaming material A in the mixing chamber 23 and the supercritical The fluid is stirred, so that the foaming raw material A and the supercritical fluid are fully mixed in the mixing chamber 23, and the second material guide rod 22 is driven by the hydraulic motor 25 to rotate and gradually retreat, so as to fully The foaming raw material A mixed with the supercritical fluid is stored in the front end of the mixing chamber 23 , and then the second-stage injection 205 is performed. Assuming that the foaming raw material A is stirred by the first material guide rod 12 in the material storage chamber 13, the degree of its molten state cannot reach a uniform state, then in the step of mixing 204, the mixing section 221 is used to mix When the foaming raw material A and the supercritical fluid are stirred in the chamber 23, the foaming raw material A is stirred again, so when the step of mixing 204 is completed, the foaming raw material A has been passed through the first material guide rod successively. 12 and the mixing section 221 are repeatedly and continuously stirred, so that the foamed raw material A is uniformly melted in the mixing chamber 23, and the supercritical fluid is uniformly distributed in the foamed raw material.

於第二階段射料205之步驟中,當超臨界流體與呈熔融狀之發泡原料A於混合腔室23經混拌段221已充分混合,且模具M已處於合模狀態後,先對模具M執行氣體預壓之動作,即由儲氣瓶34所蓄存之高壓氣體由管路32經氣閥35(開啟狀態)而導入合模時之模具M內(如圖10所示),再將阻料閥26開啟,即可由驅動缸24帶動第二導料桿22於混合腔室23內直線位移,此時存積至混合腔室23前端之發泡原料A即被第二導料桿22所推送(如圖11所示),以使發泡原料A射入模具M內,接著將阻料閥26關閉。於本實施例中,當模具M已處於合模狀態,且在發泡原料A射入模具M前接著進行物理發泡成型206之步驟。In the second-stage injection 205 step, when the supercritical fluid and the molten foaming raw material A have been fully mixed in the mixing chamber 23 through the mixing section 221, and the mold M is in the closed state, The mold M performs the action of gas pre-pressing, that is, the high-pressure gas stored in the gas cylinder 34 is introduced into the mold M when the mold is closed through the air valve 35 (open state) through the pipeline 32 (as shown in FIG. 10 ), Then open the material blocking valve 26, the second material guide rod 22 can be driven by the driving cylinder 24 to move linearly in the mixing chamber 23. At this time, the foaming raw material A stored in the front end of the mixing chamber 23 is guided by the second material. The rod 22 is pushed (as shown in FIG. 11 ), so that the foaming raw material A is injected into the mold M, and then the material blocking valve 26 is closed. In this embodiment, when the mold M is already in the mold-closed state, and before the foaming raw material A is injected into the mold M, the step of physical foam molding 206 is then performed.

在物理發泡成型206之步驟,被射入於模具M內之混合有超臨界流體之發泡原料A,其在模具M內經加熱後冷卻,待預定時間到達時,氣閥35先行開啟而洩壓排氣後,模具M即可開模,而以物理發泡之方式成型為成品B(如圖12所示)。In the step of physical foam molding 206, the foaming raw material A mixed with supercritical fluid injected into the mold M is heated and cooled in the mold M, and when the predetermined time is reached, the air valve 35 is opened first to leak After pressing and exhausting, the mold M can be opened, and the finished product B can be formed by physical foaming (as shown in FIG. 12 ).

由上述之說明不難發現本發明之特點,在於:It is not difficult to find the characteristics of the present invention from the above-mentioned description, which is:

1.利用本發明之超臨界流體射出成型機100及其射出成型方法200,發泡材料A經由在混合腔室23與超臨界流體混合後,再被射入模具M,並以物理發泡的方式成型模具M預定之成品B,而在製程中無須發泡劑以及架橋劑等添加物,於製程後續所殘留的已發泡用料,在回收時因分解容易而有利於再循環使用,以達到發泡製程環保以避免環境污染,且原料能循環使用而有效節省成本之功效。1. Using the supercritical fluid injection molding machine 100 of the present invention and the injection molding method 200 thereof, the foamed material A is injected into the mold M after being mixed with the supercritical fluid in the mixing chamber 23, and is then injected into the mold M with a physical foaming material. The predetermined finished product B of the mold M is formed in the same way, and there is no need for additives such as foaming agents and bridging agents in the process. The residual foamed materials in the subsequent process are easy to decompose and are conducive to recycling. The foaming process is environmentally friendly to avoid environmental pollution, and the raw materials can be recycled to effectively save costs.

2. 再由上述實施例之說明可知,發泡原料A係於射入混合腔室23前,即於儲料腔室13內進行儲料至所述預定料量,而如上述實施例以計量件19完成計量;待發泡原料A射入混合腔室23內,所述超臨界流體導入混合腔室23而如上述實施例透過氣體計量閥36進行計量,以與發泡原料A混合。因此,發泡原料A於儲料腔室13內之計量,與超臨界流體導入混合腔室23中與發泡原料A混合時之計量,此二計量程序為各別獨立且分開運作,互不影響彼此計量時之精準度,藉此確保發泡原料A與超臨界流體能在混合腔室23內以準確的比例進行重覆且連續混合,並同時確保超臨界流體在發泡原料中能分布均勻。2. It can be seen from the description of the above embodiment that the foaming raw material A is stored in the material storage chamber 13 to the predetermined amount before being injected into the mixing chamber 23, and is measured according to the above embodiment. Part 19 completes the metering; the raw material A to be foamed is injected into the mixing chamber 23, the supercritical fluid is introduced into the mixing chamber 23 and metered through the gas metering valve 36 as in the above embodiment to mix with the foaming raw material A. Therefore, the measurement of the foaming raw material A in the storage chamber 13 and the measurement when the supercritical fluid is introduced into the mixing chamber 23 and mixed with the foaming raw material A, these two measurement procedures are independent and operate separately, and are independent of each other. Affect the accuracy of each other's metering, thereby ensuring that the foaming raw material A and the supercritical fluid can be repeatedly and continuously mixed in the mixing chamber 23 in an accurate ratio, and at the same time ensure that the supercritical fluid can be distributed in the foaming raw material. evenly.
