Abstract

PURPOSE:To fill a foamed material into every nook and corner of a cavity, by making enlargement and reduction of a cavity of a mold connected to an injection nozzle of an injection molding machine to be possible by advance and retreat of a movable mold and by enlarging the cavity at the same time as the foamed material is injected. CONSTITUTION:A cavity 5 is open as a movable mold 4 is largely retreated by a base plate 7. As the base plate 7 goes forwards, the movable mold 4 joins in a body with a fixed mold 3. A foamed material B is then poured into a cavity 5 through a resin path 4C and at the same time, as a crank shaft 8b is rotated and the cavity 5 is enlarged to its max., the inner pressure decreased and the foamed material is sucked inside. After enlargement, the cavity 5 is reduced a little to press the foamed material, so adjust the sizes of foams in the foamed material and to fill the foamed material into every nook and corner of the cavity. As the result, the external form of a container 6 can be raised.

Injection molding of synthetic resin materials involves injecting semi-molten resin into the cavity of a mold under high pressure.While production is high and a beautiful product surface can be obtained, this high injection pressure causes foaming. If you try to mold the resin, the gas inside the resin will be compressed and the foam will lose its properties, and if the injection pressure is lowered, it will be difficult to fill every corner of the cavity with the foam material. There is a problem. Therefore,
Conventionally, drinking containers made of foamed material have been manufactured by molding a sheet of foamed material using a hot press or other means.

Next, to explain the operation of this device, first, the movable mold 4 is moved back greatly by the substrate 7 to open the cavity 5, as shown in FIG. The mold 4 is combined with the fixed mold 3. At this time, the crankshaft 8b moves the movable mold 4 to the forward end, and the cavity 5 is reduced to the minimum size as shown in the figure (...). Injection molding starts from this state. There is a resin passage 4 in the cavity 5.
Foaming material B is injected from c, and the crankshaft 8b rotates in synchronization with this, expanding the cavity 5 to the maximum as shown in the same figure (C1), so the internal pressure decreases, and the foaming material flows inside. At this time, the injection amount of the foam material per unit time is set to be approximately equal to the speed at which the cavity 5 expands. After the injection of the foam material B is completed, the crankshaft is 8b rotates to slightly reduce the cavity 5 and pressurize the foam material filled inside, adjust the size of the bubbles in the foam material, and fill the foam material to every corner to highlight the outer shape of the drinking container 6. , letters, etc. At this time, since the wall surface of the cavity 5 is made of a porous material, even if air remains inside the cavity 5, it is immediately released to the outside through the wall surface of the cavity 5. , does not interfere with foam filling.
This step is not essential if the product does not need to be precise. After the molding is completed, the water can be poured from the air inlet 4d! While air is forced to the outer surface of the mold 36, the two substrates 7 are moved back, the mold 2 is opened, and the drinking container 6, which is the product, is removed from the movable mold 4 and returned to its initial state.

As described above, the first invention enables the cavity of the mold connected to the injection port of the injection molding machine to be enlarged and contracted by moving the movable mold forward and backward, and reduces the cavity before the foam is injected. Since the movable mold is moved back almost simultaneously with the injection of foam to expand the cavity to a predetermined size, the inside of the cavity can be filled with the foam material even with low injection pressure. Therefore, there is an effect that a product can be molded by injection molding the foam material.

The second invention is that since the wall surface of the cavity is formed of a porous material, when the foam material injected into the cavity is repressurized, the residual air in the cavity can be easily removed, and the foam material can be poured into every corner of the cavity. This has the effect of achieving the purpose of filling up to 100%.
