Description
本發明是有關於一種發泡物成型方法,特別是指一種用以精準控制發泡物尺寸的控壓成型方法。The invention relates to a foam molding method, in particular to a pressure control molding method for precisely controlling the size of the foam.
習知的EVA發泡鞋底製程一般是將EVA塑料射入一發泡模具的模穴內,接著加熱該發泡模具使位於模穴內的EVA塑料交聯、發泡成一發泡初胚,接著取出該發泡初胚並於一未控壓的環境下冷卻定型,由於外界的大氣壓力會隨著許多因素改變,外界大氣壓力的大小會影響該發泡初胚定型後的體積,當外界的大氣壓力較小時,該發泡初胚冷卻過程中膨脹的幅度較大,當外界的大氣壓力較大時,該發泡初胚冷卻過程中膨脹的幅度較小,因此收縮定型後的發泡初胚會有尺寸大小不一的情形。The conventional EVA foam sole manufacturing process is generally to inject EVA plastic into the cavity of a foam mold, and then heat the foam mold to crosslink and foam the EVA plastic located in the cavity into a foam initial embryo, and then Take out the foaming embryo and cool and shape it in an uncontrolled pressure environment. Because the external atmospheric pressure will change with many factors, the external atmospheric pressure will affect the volume of the foaming embryo after shaping. When the atmospheric pressure is small, the expansion of the foaming embryo is larger during cooling. When the external atmospheric pressure is larger, the expansion of the foaming embryo is smaller during cooling, so the foam after shrinking and shaping The initial embryos may vary in size.
接著挑選符合尺寸標準的發泡初胚置入一二次壓塑型模具內,進行二次壓塑型的製程,以形成鞋底的外部花紋,成型後取出並同樣在未控壓的環境下,於室溫或控溫的條件冷卻定型,但定型後的成品仍會受到外界大氣壓力改變的影響,而造成尺寸不一致,如此從發泡初胚到成品完成的過程,會有許多不良品產生,造成良率的損失,且傳統的EVA發泡鞋底製程需要兩次發泡步驟,製程時間也較長。Then, select the foamed embryos that meet the size standards and place them in the first and second compression molding molds to perform the second compression molding process to form the outer pattern of the sole. After molding, take them out and also in an uncontrolled pressure environment. Cooling and shaping at room temperature or temperature control conditions, but the finished product will still be affected by the change of external atmospheric pressure, resulting in inconsistent dimensions. In this way, from the initial foaming to the completion of the finished product, there will be many defective products. It causes a loss of yield, and the traditional EVA foam sole process requires two foaming steps, and the process time is also longer.
因此,本發明之目的,即在提供一種僅需一次發泡,且發泡及定型均在一控壓環境,使得製程速度較快且良率較好的EVA發泡鞋底方法。Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an EVA foam sole method that requires only one foaming, and the foaming and shaping are in a pressure-controlled environment, so that the process speed is faster and the yield is better.
