Description

本発明は、射出成形方法に関し、特に、異なる樹脂材料からなる第１部分及び第２部分を一体に有する樹脂成形品を同一金型内で成形する、いわゆる多色成形法に関する。 The present invention relates to an injection molding method, and more particularly to a so-called multicolor molding method in which a resin molded product integrally having a first portion and a second portion made of different resin materials is molded in the same mold.

例えば、自動車の内装品（インストルメントパネル等）は、異なる材質や色を有する複数種の樹脂材料を用いて、複数の部分を一体的に射出成形する、いわゆる多色成形法で製造することが知られている（例えば、下記の特許文献１参照）。具体的には、図８に示すように、上型１０１と下型１０２とを型締めしてキャビティを形成した状態で、スライド型１０３を上型１０１に当接させて第１のキャビティ１０４を区画する。この第１のキャビティ１０４に第１の樹脂材料を射出し、これを固化させて第１部分１１０を成形する（図９参照）。その後、スライド型１０３を降下させて上型１０１から離反させ、第２のキャビティ１０５を形成する（図１０参照）。この第２のキャビティ１０５に第２の樹脂材料を射出し、これを固化させて第２部分１２０を形成する（図１１参照）。以上により、第１部分１１０及び第２部分１２０を一体に有する樹脂成形品１３０が一つの射出成形金型内で成形される。 For example, automobile interior parts (instrument panels, etc.) can be manufactured by a so-called multicolor molding method in which a plurality of parts are integrally injection-molded using a plurality of types of resin materials having different materials and colors. It is known (for example, refer toPatent Document 1 below). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, in a state where theupper mold 101 and thelower mold 102 are clamped to form a cavity, theslide mold 103 is brought into contact with theupper mold 101 to form thefirst cavity 104. Partition. The first resin material is injected into thefirst cavity 104 and solidified to mold the first portion 110 (see FIG. 9). Thereafter, theslide mold 103 is lowered and separated from theupper mold 101 to form the second cavity 105 (see FIG. 10). The second resin material is injected into thesecond cavity 105 and solidified to form the second portion 120 (see FIG. 11). As described above, the resin moldedproduct 130 integrally including thefirst portion 110 and thesecond portion 120 is molded in one injection mold.

上記のような多色成形を行うにあたっては、第１のキャビティ１０４に第１の樹脂材料を射出した後、スライド型１０３を降下させるタイミングが非常に重要となる。スライド型１０３を降下させるタイミングが早すぎると、第１部分１１０の端部が内部まで完全に硬化していない状態で、第２のキャビティ１０５に第２の樹脂材料が射出される（図１２参照）。この場合、第２の樹脂材料の射出圧により、第１部分１１０の未硬化部１１１が変形し、第１部分１１０と上型１０１との間に第２の樹脂材料が入り込み（図１２の矢印参照）、第１部分１１０と第２部分１２０との境界線（いわゆる見切り線）が不明瞭となる恐れがある。 In performing multicolor molding as described above, the timing of lowering theslide mold 103 after injecting the first resin material into thefirst cavity 104 is very important. If the timing of lowering theslide mold 103 is too early, the second resin material is injected into thesecond cavity 105 in a state where the end of thefirst portion 110 is not completely cured to the inside (see FIG. 12). ). In this case, the uncured portion 111 of thefirst portion 110 is deformed by the injection pressure of the second resin material, and the second resin material enters between thefirst portion 110 and the upper mold 101 (the arrow in FIG. 12). The boundary line (so-called parting line) between thefirst part 110 and thesecond part 120 may become unclear.

従って、スライド型１０３は、第１部分１１０の端部が内部まで完全に硬化してから降下させる必要がある。しかし、この場合、第１部分１１０の硬化を待つ時間が必要となってタクトタイムが長くなる。また、第１部分１１０の硬化範囲が広がりすぎると、第２の樹脂材料の射出圧により、第１部分１１０の意匠面（図中上面）のうち、スライド型１０３と下型１０２との境界の上方（図１０のＡ部）に白化が生じる恐れがある。 Therefore, theslide mold 103 needs to be lowered after the end portion of thefirst portion 110 is completely cured to the inside. However, in this case, it is necessary to wait for thefirst portion 110 to harden, and the tact time becomes long. Further, if the curing range of thefirst part 110 is excessively widened, the boundary between theslide mold 103 and thelower mold 102 in the design surface (upper surface in the drawing) of thefirst part 110 is caused by the injection pressure of the second resin material. There is a possibility that whitening may occur in the upper part (A portion in FIG. 10).

以上の点をまとめると、第１部分１１０の端部が内部まで完全に硬化した後で、且つ、白化が生じるほど硬化範囲が広くなりすぎないタイミングで、スライド型１０３を降下させる必要がある。しかし、このようなタイミングを見つけることは現実的には極めて困難であるため、実際には、ユーザの目に留まりやすい見切り線の不明瞭を回避するために、スライド型１０３の降下を遅めに設定し、若干の白化の発生を犠牲にしている。 In summary, theslide mold 103 needs to be lowered after the end portion of thefirst portion 110 is completely cured to the inside and at a timing at which the curing range does not become so wide that whitening occurs. However, in reality, it is extremely difficult to find such a timing. In practice, in order to avoid obscuration of the parting line that is easily noticed by the user, the lowering of theslide mold 103 is delayed. Set at the expense of some whitening.

以上のような事情から、本発明が解決すべき技術的課題は、多色成形を行うにあたり、見切り線の不明瞭化、及び白化の発生の双方を防止することにある。 In view of the above circumstances, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to prevent both the obscuration of parting lines and the occurrence of whitening when performing multicolor molding.

前記課題を解決するために、本発明は、意匠面を成形する一方の金型と、裏面を成形する他方の金型と、両金型で形成されるキャビティを区画するスライド型とを備えた射出成形金型を用いて、異なる樹脂材料からなる第１部分及び第２部分を一体に有する樹脂成形品を成形するための方法であって、前記スライド型を前記一方の金型に当接させて、前記一方の金型、前記他方の金型、及び前記スライド型で第１キャビティを形成し、該第１キャビティに第１の樹脂材料を射出して前記第１部分を成形する工程と、前記スライド型を前記一方の金型から離反させて、前記一方の金型、前記他方の金型、前記スライド型、及び前記第１部分で第２キャビティを形成し、該第２キャビティに第２の樹脂材料を射出して前記第２部分を成形する工程とを有し、前記第１部分と前記第２部分の見切り線の延在方向と直交する断面において、前記第１キャビティの前記見切り線側の端部が、先端へ向けて厚さを徐々に薄くした先細り形状を成すことを特徴とするものである。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention includes one mold for molding a design surface, the other mold for molding a back surface, and a slide mold for defining a cavity formed by both molds. A method for molding a resin molded product integrally having a first part and a second part made of different resin materials using an injection mold, wherein the slide mold is brought into contact with the one mold. Forming a first cavity with the one mold, the other mold, and the slide mold, and injecting a first resin material into the first cavity to mold the first portion; The slide mold is separated from the one mold to form a second cavity in the one mold, the other mold, the slide mold, and the first portion, and a second cavity is formed in the second cavity. A step of injecting the resin material and molding the second part In the cross section orthogonal to the extending direction of the parting line of the first part and the second part, the end part on the parting line side of the first cavity gradually decreases in thickness toward the tip. It is characterized by having a tapered shape.

このように、第１キャビティの見切り線側の端部を先細り形状とすることで、第１部分の端部を内部まで完全に早期に硬化させることができる。これにより、スライド型を一方の金型から早期に離反させることが許容されるため、見切り線の不明瞭の防止、及び、白化の発生の双方を防止できるような、スライド型のスライドのタイミングの設定が容易化される。 In this way, by forming the end portion on the parting line side of the first cavity into a tapered shape, the end portion of the first portion can be completely cured to the inside at an early stage. As a result, the slide mold is allowed to be separated from one mold at an early stage, so that the slide mold slide timing can be prevented so that both the obscure line and the whitening can be prevented. Setting is facilitated.

上記のように、第１部分の見切り線側の端部を先細り形状とすると、この端部の強度（剛性）が低くなるため、第２キャビティに射出された樹脂の圧力により端部が変形して、端部と一方の金型との間に第２の樹脂材料が入り込んで見切り線が不明瞭となる恐れがある。そこで、第１部分の見切り線側の端部を裏面側へ向けて曲げれば、この端部が射出圧により変形しにくくなるため、見切り線の不明瞭化をより確実に防止できる。 As described above, when the end portion on the parting line side of the first portion is tapered, the strength (rigidity) of this end portion is reduced, and therefore the end portion is deformed by the pressure of the resin injected into the second cavity. Then, the second resin material may enter between the end portion and one mold, and the parting line may become unclear. Therefore, if the end portion on the parting line side of the first portion is bent toward the back surface side, this end part is not easily deformed by the injection pressure, so that the parting line can be more reliably prevented from being obscured.

ところで、二色成形法で形成された樹脂成形品の意匠面には、デザイン上の観点から、見切り線の近傍に、他の領域よりも曲率半径の小さい小円弧部を設ける場合がある。この場合、前記第１キャビティの成形面に、見切り線と直交する断面における曲率半径が相対的に大きい大円弧部と、大円弧部の見切り線側に隣接し、上記の断面における曲率半径が相対的に小さい小円弧部とを設け、第１キャビティにおけるスライド型と一方の金型との境界を、小円弧部の裏面側に配することが好ましい。これにより、第１部分の硬化範囲が広がりすぎて、第２の樹脂材料の射出圧により第１部分の意匠面の上記境界付近に白化が生じた場合でも、その白化を小円弧部に発生させることができるため、白化が目立たなくなる。このため、スライド型を一方の金型から離反させるタイミングを遅らせることが許容されるため、見切り線の不明瞭の防止、及び、白化の発生の双方を防止できるような、スライド型のスライドのタイミングの設定がさらに容易化される。 By the way, on the design surface of the resin molded product formed by the two-color molding method, a small arc portion having a smaller radius of curvature than other regions may be provided near the parting line from the viewpoint of design. In this case, the molding surface of the first cavity is adjacent to the large arc portion having a relatively large curvature radius in the cross section perpendicular to the parting line and the parting line side of the large arc part, and the curvature radius in the cross section is relatively Preferably, a small arc portion is provided, and the boundary between the slide mold and the one mold in the first cavity is disposed on the back side of the small arc portion. As a result, even when the curing range of the first part is excessively widened and whitening occurs near the boundary of the design surface of the first part due to the injection pressure of the second resin material, the whitening occurs in the small arc portion. Whitening is less noticeable. For this reason, since it is allowed to delay the timing at which the slide mold is separated from one mold, the slide mold slide timing that can prevent both obscure parting lines and whitening can be prevented. Is further facilitated.

上記の射出成形方法によれば、第１部分を射出成形した後、同一金型内で第２部分を射出成形することにより、異なる樹脂材料からなる前記第１部分と前記第２部分を一体に有する樹脂成形品であって、前記第１部分と前記第２部分との見切り線の延在方向と直交する断面において、前記第１部分の前記見切り線側の端部が、先端へ向けて厚さを徐々に薄くした先細り形状を成すことを特徴とする樹脂成形品が得られる。 According to the above injection molding method, after the first part is injection-molded, the second part is injection-molded in the same mold, thereby integrating the first part and the second part made of different resin materials. In the cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the parting line between the first part and the second part, the end part on the parting line side of the first part has a thickness toward the tip. A resin molded product characterized by having a tapered shape with a gradually reduced thickness is obtained.

以上のように、本発明によれば、多色成形を行うにあたり、見切り線の不明瞭化、及び、白化の発生の双方を防止することが可能となる。 As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent both the obscuration of parting lines and the occurrence of whitening when performing multicolor molding.

Set to

以下、上記の射出成形金型１０を用いた射出成形方法の手順を説明する。 Hereinafter, the procedure of the injection molding method using theinjection mold 10 will be described.

まず、図３に示すように、上型２０と下型３０を型締めした状態でスライド型４０を上昇させて、スライド型４０の上面４１を上型２０の当接部２３に当接させる。これにより、上型２０と下型３０とで形成されるキャビティがスライド型４０により区画され、上型２０の第１成形面２１、下型３０の第３成形面３１、及びスライド型４０の上面４１の平坦面４１ｂ及び傾斜面４１ｃで囲まれた第１キャビティ５０が形成される。 First, as shown in FIG. 3, theslide mold 40 is raised while theupper mold 20 and thelower mold 30 are clamped, and theupper surface 41 of theslide mold 40 is brought into contact with thecontact portion 23 of theupper mold 20. Thereby, the cavity formed by theupper mold 20 and thelower mold 30 is partitioned by theslide mold 40, and thefirst molding surface 21 of theupper mold 20, thethird molding surface 31 of thelower mold 30, and the upper surface of theslide mold 40. Afirst cavity 50 surrounded by theflat surface 41b and theinclined surface 41c of 41 is formed.

第１キャビティ６０の見切り線側（図中左側）の端部５１は、先端へ向けて厚さを徐々に薄くした先細り形状を成している。図示例では、第１キャビティ６０の端部５１が、見切り線側へ向けて裏面側（図中下方）に変位した成形面の間、具体的には、上型２０の第１成形面２１の直線部２１ｃ及び小円弧部２１ａと、スライド型４０の上面４１の傾斜面４１ｃとの間に形成される。第１キャビティ５０の端部５１の先端の角度θ（図示例では、直線部２１ｃと傾斜面４１ｃとの間の角度θ）が大きすぎると、端部５１の肉厚が過剰となり、端部５１に満たされた樹脂を早期に硬化させる効果（詳細は後述する）が得られないため、端部５１の先端の角度θは６０°以下、好ましくは４５°以下とされる。また、端部５１の先端の角度θが小さすぎると、端部５１の肉厚が不足し、第２の樹脂材料の射出圧（詳細は後述する）で変形しやすくなるため、角度θは２０°以上、好ましくは３０°以上とされる。 Theend portion 51 on the parting line side (left side in the drawing) of thefirst cavity 60 has a tapered shape in which the thickness is gradually reduced toward the tip. In the illustrated example, theend portion 51 of thefirst cavity 60 is between the molding surfaces displaced toward the parting line side toward the back surface side (downward in the drawing), specifically, thefirst molding surface 21 of theupper mold 20. It is formed between thestraight portion 21 c and thesmall arc portion 21 a and theinclined surface 41 c of theupper surface 41 of theslide mold 40. If the angle θ of the tip of theend 51 of the first cavity 50 (in the example shown, the angle θ between thestraight portion 21c and theinclined surface 41c) is too large, the thickness of theend 51 becomes excessive, and theend 51 Since the effect of curing the resin filled in the above at an early stage (details will be described later) cannot be obtained, the angle θ of the tip of theend 51 is 60 ° or less, preferably 45 ° or less. Further, if the angle θ of the tip of theend 51 is too small, the thickness of theend 51 is insufficient, and deformation is easily caused by the injection pressure of the second resin material (details will be described later). More than 30 °, preferably more than 30 °.

そして、図４に示すように、第１キャビティ５０に第１の樹脂材料を射出し、上面部２を成形する。具体的には、第１キャビティ５０に射出された第１の樹脂材料が、金型に接触して冷却されることにより硬化する。このとき、第１キャビティ５０の端部５１が先細り形状を成していることで、この端部５１に満たされた第１の樹脂材料（すなわち、上面部２の端部２ｃ）を、内部まで完全に早期に硬化させることができる。 Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the first resin material is injected into thefirst cavity 50 to mold theupper surface portion 2. Specifically, the first resin material injected into thefirst cavity 50 is cured by contacting the mold and being cooled. At this time, since theend portion 51 of thefirst cavity 50 has a tapered shape, the first resin material filled in the end portion 51 (that is, theend portion 2c of the upper surface portion 2) is brought to the inside. It can be cured completely early.

その後、図５に示すように、スライド型４０を降下させて上型２０から離反させ、第２キャビティ６０を形成する。第２キャビティ６０は、上型２０の第２成形面２２及び当接部２３と、下型３０の第４成形面３２と、スライド型４０の上面４１と、上面部２の裏面２ｂとで囲まれている。このとき、スライド型４０の降下は、（ｉ）上面部２の端部２ｃが内部まで完全に硬化した後であって、且つ、（ｉｉ）上面部２のうち、第１キャビティ５０におけるスライド型４０の上面４１と下型３０の第３成形面３１との境界Ｐ（図４参照）付近が完全に硬化する前のタイミングで行う。従来、上記（ｉ）及び（ｉｉ）を両立させるタイミングを設定することは困難であったが、本発明では、上記のように第１キャビティ５０の端部５１を先細り形状とすることで、この部分に満たされた樹脂材料を早期に硬化させることができるため、上記（ｉ）のタイミングを早期化することが許容され、これにより上記（ｉ）及び（ｉｉ）を両立させるタイミングの設定が容易化される。尚、上記（ｉｉ）に示すように、上面部２の一部が完全に硬化していない状態でスライド型４０を降下させることで、上面部２に加わる射出圧により、上面部２の裏面２ｂのうち、完全に硬化した端部５１を除く領域が下方に若干膨らむ（図５に点線で誇張して示す）。 Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5, theslide mold 40 is lowered and separated from theupper mold 20 to form thesecond cavity 60. Thesecond cavity 60 is surrounded by the second molding surface 22 and thecontact portion 23 of theupper mold 20, thefourth molding surface 32 of thelower mold 30, theupper surface 41 of theslide mold 40, and theback surface 2 b of theupper surface portion 2. It is. At this time, theslide mold 40 is lowered (i) after theend 2c of theupper surface portion 2 is completely cured to the inside, and (ii) the slide mold in thefirst cavity 50 of theupper surface portion 2. This is performed at a timing before the vicinity of the boundary P (see FIG. 4) between theupper surface 41 of 40 and thethird molding surface 31 of thelower mold 30 is completely cured. Conventionally, it has been difficult to set the timing for making the above (i) and (ii) compatible, but in the present invention, theend 51 of thefirst cavity 50 is tapered as described above. Since the resin material filled in the portion can be cured at an early stage, it is allowed to advance the timing of the above (i), thereby easily setting the timing for making the above (i) and (ii) compatible. It becomes. As shown in the above (ii), theback surface 2b of theupper surface portion 2 is lowered by the injection pressure applied to theupper surface portion 2 by lowering the slide die 40 in a state where a part of theupper surface portion 2 is not completely cured. Among these, the region excluding the completelyhardened end portion 51 slightly swells downward (shown exaggerated by dotted lines in FIG. 5).

そして、図６に示すように、第２キャビティ５０に第２の樹脂材料を射出する。このとき、上面部２の端部２ｃは内部まで完全に硬化しているため、第２の樹脂材料の射出圧による変形が防止される。従って、上面部２の端部２ｃと上型２０の第１成形面２１（特に直線部２１ｃ）との間に第２の樹脂材料が入り込む事態が回避され、上面部２と正面部３との意匠面における境界線（見切り線４）の不明瞭化を防止できる。特に、本実施形態では、上面部２の端部２ｃが裏面側（図中下側）に曲がっていることで、第２の樹脂材料の射出圧による端部２ｃの変形を確実に防止し、端部２ｃと第１成形面２１との間への第２の樹脂材料の侵入を確実に防止できる。また、上面部２のうち、スライド型４０の上面４１と下型３０の第３成形面３１との境界Ｐ付近は完全には硬化していないため、第２の樹脂材料の射出圧により上面部２の意匠面２ａ、特に境界Ｐの上方部分に白化が生じる事態を防止できる。その後、正面部３が硬化することで、上面部２と正面部３とを一体に有する樹脂成形品１が完成する。 Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the second resin material is injected into thesecond cavity 50. At this time, since theend portion 2c of theupper surface portion 2 is completely cured to the inside, deformation due to the injection pressure of the second resin material is prevented. Therefore, the situation where the second resin material enters between theend 2c of theupper surface portion 2 and the first molding surface 21 (particularly thestraight portion 21c) of theupper mold 20 is avoided, and theupper surface portion 2 and thefront surface portion 3 Obfuscation of the boundary line (parting line 4) on the design surface can be prevented. In particular, in the present embodiment, theend 2c of theupper surface portion 2 is bent to the back side (lower side in the figure), thereby reliably preventing deformation of theend 2c due to the injection pressure of the second resin material, Intrusion of the second resin material between theend 2c and thefirst molding surface 21 can be reliably prevented. Further, in theupper surface portion 2, the vicinity of the boundary P between theupper surface 41 of theslide mold 40 and thethird molding surface 31 of thelower mold 30 is not completely cured, so the upper surface portion is caused by the injection pressure of the second resin material. It is possible to prevent whitening of thesecond design surface 2a, particularly the upper portion of the boundary P. Thereafter, thefront portion 3 is cured, whereby the resin moldedproduct 1 having theupper surface portion 2 and thefront portion 3 integrally is completed.

本発明は上記の実施形態に限られない。例えば、上記の実施形態では、図３に示すようにスライド型４０を上型２０に当接させて第１キャビティ５０を形成した状態で、スライド型４０の上面４１と下型３０の第３成形面３１との境界Ｐが、第１成形面２１の大円弧部２１ｂの裏面側（すなわち、変曲点２１ｄよりも図中右側）に配されているが、これに限られない。例えば図７に示す実施形態は、第１キャビティ５０を形成した状態で、スライド型４０の上面４１と下型３０の第３成形面３１との境界Ｐが、第１成形面２１の小円弧部２１ａの裏面側（すなわち、変曲点２１ｄよりも図中左側）に配されている。このように、白化が生じやすい境界Ｐを、曲率半径の小さい小円弧部２１ａの下方に配することで、万が一この部分に白化が生じても、大円弧部２１ｂに白化が生じた場合よりも白化を目立たなくすることができる。 The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the third mold of theupper surface 41 of theslide mold 40 and thethird mold 30 is formed in a state where thefirst cavity 50 is formed by bringing theslide mold 40 into contact with theupper mold 20 as shown in FIG. The boundary P with thesurface 31 is arranged on the back surface side of thelarge arc portion 21b of the first molding surface 21 (that is, on the right side in the drawing with respect to theinflection point 21d), but is not limited thereto. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, in a state where thefirst cavity 50 is formed, the boundary P between theupper surface 41 of theslide mold 40 and thethird molding surface 31 of thelower mold 30 is a small arc portion of thefirst molding surface 21. It is arranged on the back side of 21a (that is, on the left side in the figure from theinflection point 21d). In this way, by arranging the boundary P that is likely to be whitened below thesmall arc portion 21a with a small radius of curvature, even if whitening occurs in this portion, it is more than when whitening occurs in thelarge arc portion 21b. Whitening can be made inconspicuous.
