DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0039] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the best mode. A general configuration of an injection molding mold K for carrying out the present invention will be described first, and thereafter, a piece plate stack J configured such that a plurality of degassing piece plates P.sub.1 to P.sub.4 for forming degassing holes H is stacked on each other and a structure for incorporating the piece plate stack J into piece plate stack arrangement recesses 9 of split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2, which are features of the present invention, will be described.
[0040] The injection molding mold K includes a fixed mold S and a movable mold M. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the movable mold M is of a double-cavity type capable of simultaneously molding two molded articles, and has a rigid structure in a quadrangular shape in front view. At a center portion of a front portion of a vertically-disposed base 1 in the lateral direction thereof, a pair of core molds A is formed integrally with and perpendicularly to the base 1 at a predetermined interval in the up-down direction, and therefore, is disposed horizontally in an absolute space. The core mold A includes a columnar core body portion A.sub.1 for molding a tubular portion F.sub.1 of a molded article F having an irregular tubular shape, and a rectangular parallelepiped portion A.sub.2 provided integrally with the base end of the core body portion A.sub.1 for molding a rectangular box portion F.sub.2 of the molded article F (see FIG. 9). The pair of left and right split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2 is disposed so as to slide in the horizontal direction indicated by an arrow Q to approach and separate from each other on both sides of the pair of core molds A provided integrally with the center portion of the base 1 in the lateral direction thereof, and in a state of mold contact surfaces 12 closely contacting each other by closing the pair of split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2, the inner peripheral surfaces of two molding recesses 2 formed in the mold contact surfaces 12 of mold bodies 11 of the pair of split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2 and the outer peripheral surfaces of the two core molds A (pair of core molds A) provided integrally with the base 1 form a cavity C for molding the molded article F. The cavity C includes a hollow columnar first cavity C.sub.1 formed between the core body portions A.sub.1 of the core molds A and the pair of split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2, and a box-shaped second cavity C.sub.2 formed between the rectangular parallelepiped portions A.sub.2 of the core molds A and the piece plate stacks J incorporated into the pair of split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2.
[0041] A back plate 4 is disposed in back of the base 1 through a plurality of horizontal support rods 3, and a space formed by the back surface of the base 1, the back plate 4, and the left and right horizontal support rods 3 is a plate arrangement space 6 in which an ejector plate 5 is disposed. A back end portion of an ejector pin E for removing the molded articles F from the core molds A after injection molding is integrally coupled to the ejector plate 5.
[0042] In the movable mold M, the pair of split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2 supported by the base 1 slides between a close end position (combined position) and a separate end position so as to approach and separate from each other. A mold body 21 of the fixed mold S is formed with a hollow truncated pyramid shaped mold fitting recess 22 to be fitted onto the outside of the truncated pyramid shaped mold bodies 11 of the pair of split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2 combined at the close end position thereof, the mold fitting recess 22 being opened so as to face the movable mold M. In portions of the mold body 21 on both sides of the mold fitting recess 22 in plan view, four inclined angular pins 23, which are provided in two pairs, are provided in total so as to protrude to the movable mold M. The two inclined angular pins 23 of each pair are disposed in the same horizontal plane. About the half of the entire length of these inclined angular pins 23 is embedded in the mold body 21 of the fixed mold S, and the inclined angular pins 23 greatly laterally protrude with inclined such that an interval therebetween expands from the base end to the tip end. The two pairs of inclined angular pins 23 of the fixed mold S have a structure of being inserted into two pairs of inclined guide holes 8 formed so as to penetrate thick flange portions 7 of outer peripheral portions of the pair of split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2.
[0043] Thus, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, when the entirety of the movable mold M slides in the horizontal direction indicated by an arrow R relative to the fixed mold S in a state of the two pairs of inclined angular pins 23 of the fixed mold S being inserted into the inclined guide holes 8 of the pair of split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2, the movable mold M separates from or approaches the fixed mold S. A sprue bush 24 for injecting molten thermoplastic elastomer (molten resin) is embedded in the fixed mold S. Note that for ensuring a space for removing the molded article F, the movable mold M is detached from the fixed mold S in such a manner that the two pairs of inclined angular pins 23 of the fixed mold S are fully detached from the inclined guide holes 8 formed in the thick flange portions 7 of the split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2 to separate the pair of split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2 from each other, as shown in FIG. 6.
[0044] As shown in FIG. 7, the molded article F has such an irregular tubular shape that the tubular portion F.sub.1 closed at one end is opened at the other end and such an opening has a greater dimension in a direction of the pair of split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2 separating from each other in the rectangular box portion F.sub.2 than in the tubular portion F.sub.1. A portion of the cavity C forming the rectangular box portion F.sub.2 is a portion to which the molten resin reaches last, and at two points in total, is bent at a right angle to a straight cavity portion for molding the tubular portion F.sub.1. Thus, in such a portion, gas in the cavity tends to be collected and accumulated. Note that a peripheral wall portion F.sub.2a forming the rectangular box portion F.sub.2 is slightly bent from a top wall portion F.sub.2b, and the peripheral wall portion F.sub.2a and the top wall portion F.sub.2b form an acute angle close to a right angle. Thus, in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, in order to form many degassing holes H in portions of the pair of split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2 of the movable mold M for molding the rectangular box portion F.sub.2, the following structure is employed: the piece plate stack arrangement recess 9 in which the piece plate stack J configured such that the plurality (four in the present embodiment) of degassing piece plates P.sub.1 to P.sub.4 different from each other in a plate thickness and slightly different from each other in an entire shape are stacked on each other is disposed is formed in the portion of each split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2 for molding the rectangular box portion F.sub.2, and the piece plate stacks J are integrated with the split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2 with a plurality of fixing bolts 31 in a state of being fitted in the piece plate stack arrangement recesses 9 to provide, inside the piece plate stacks J, many degassing holes H communicating with the outside of the split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2. With this structure, gas in the portion of the cavity C for molding the rectangular box portion F.sub.2 of the molded article F is discharged to the outside of the mold.
[0045] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the truncated pyramid shaped combined portion of the mold bodies 11 of the pair of split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2 closest to each other is fitted in the mold fitting recess 22 of the fixed mold S, and in this manner, the space formed by the outer peripheral surfaces of the core molds A and the inner peripheral surfaces of the molding recesses 2 formed in the mold contact surfaces 12 of the split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2 is formed as the cavity (molding space) C. Opposing U-shaped recesses Ja (see FIG. 9) of the pair of piece plate stacks J fitted in the split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2 are combined, the inner peripheral surfaces of the combined opposing U-shaped recesses Ja and the outer peripheral surfaces of the rectangular parallelepiped portions A.sub.2 of the core molds A form the box-shaped second cavity C.sub.2 of the cavity C for molding the rectangular box portion F.sub.2 of the molded article F, and the second cavity C.sub.2 and the outside of the split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2 communicate with each other through many degassing holes H formed inside the piece plate stacks J. Note that in a state of the cavity C being formed, a short runner 13 communicating with the first cavity C.sub.1 is formed as a result of the close contact between the mold contact surfaces 12 of the split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2.
[0046] Next, the piece plate stack J will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 8 to 12. The piece plate stack J is fitted in the piece plate stack arrangement recess 9 of each split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2, and is integrated with such a split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2 with the plurality of fixing bolts 31. Since the injection molding mold K of the present embodiment is of the double-cavity type, two U-shaped recesses Ja are formed in one piece plate stack J, and these U-shaped recesses Ja are each disposed in the portions, which correspond to the rectangular box portions F.sub.2 of the molded articles F, of the two cavities C formed by the pair of split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2. Note that in FIGS. 5, 8, and 9, 33 indicates a built-in block having a planar shape identical to that of the piece plate stack J and disposed in a lower portion of each of the piece plate stacks J in the pair of split molds B.sub.1, B.sub.2. Note that in FIGS. 9 and 11, 10 indicates an internal thread portion formed in a top surface 14 of each split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2 in the piece plate stack arrangement recess 9 to screw the fixing bolt 31 thereinto.
[0047] The piece plate stack J is formed in such a manner that the plurality (four in the present embodiment) of metal degassing piece plates P.sub.1 to P.sub.4 [in terms of a plate thickness, in a relationship of (P.sub.1>P.sub.2=P.sub.3>P.sub.4)] different from each other in a plate thickness and slightly different from each other only in the shape of a portion forming the second cavity C.sub.2 for molding the rectangular box portion F.sub.2 of the molded article F is stacked on each other. That is, the peripheral wall portion F.sub.2a forming the rectangular box portion F.sub.2 of the molded article F is bent inward slightly at an acute angle to the top wall portion F.sub.2b, and therefore, the plurality of degassing piece plates P.sub.1 to P.sub.4 forming the piece plate stack J is formed such that the width dimension of the U-shaped recess Ja of the piece plate stack J gradually increases from the lower side to the upper side and the end surfaces (continuous inner surfaces of the U-shaped recesses Ja) thereof form a continuous inclined surface.
[0048] The entire shape of each degassing piece plate P.sub.1 to P.sub.4 is a rectangular shape as shown in FIGS. 10(a) to 10(c), and such a degassing piece plate P.sub.1 to P.sub.4 is formed in one surface (upper surface in the stacked state) with a plurality of extremely-shallow degassing grooves G.sub.1 to G.sub.5 over the entire width of such a portion. That is, the degassing grooves G.sub.1, G.sub.2 are formed perpendicularly to the remaining long side of the degassing piece plate P.sub.1 to P.sub.4 having the rectangular shape as a whole over the entire length between such a long side and the U-shaped recesses Ja, the degassing grooves G.sub.3, G.sub.4 are formed in center portions of remaining rectangular portions in the longitudinal direction thereof outside the U-shaped recesses Ja over the entire length in the width direction (the longitudinal direction of the degassing piece plate P.sub.1 to P.sub.4 when such a plate is viewed as a whole) of these rectangular portions, and the degassing groove G.sub.5 is formed in a remaining substantially square portion between the U-shaped recesses Ja over the entire length on the extension of the degassing grooves G.sub.3, G.sub.4. The degassing grooves G.sub.1 to G.sub.5 are stacked on each other, and therefore, the degassing grooves G.sub.1 to G.sub.5 and another degassing piece plate P.sub.2 to P.sub.4 stacked above these degassing grooves G.sub.1 to G.sub.5 so as to cover these degassing grooves G.sub.1 to G.sub.5 or the top surface 14 (see FIG. 11) of the split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2, which closely contacts the uppermost degassing piece plate P.sub.4, in the piece plate stack arrangement recess 9 form many degassing holes H inside the piece plate stack J. The depth D [see FIG. 10(c)] of the degassing groove G.sub.1 to G.sub.5 formed in each degassing piece plate P.sub.1 to P.sub.4 is 0.02 to 0.03 mm, and is such a dimension that no molten resin enters due to an injection pressure when the molten resin is injected and molded in the cavity C. Each extremely-shallow degassing groove G.sub.1 to G.sub.5 is formed in such a manner that a specified position of each metal degassing piece plate P.sub.1 to P.sub.4 is ground with a grinding machine. Although the degassing groove G.sub.1 to G.sub.5 can also be formed by etching for dissolving the surface of the metal plate, the grinding with the grinding machine is a preferred formation method because each degassing groove G.sub.1 to G.sub.5 has a simple quadrangular shape having the same width over the entire length. Note that in FIG. 9 and FIGS. 10(a) to 10(c), the degassing grooves G.sub.1 to G.sub.5 cannot be three-dimensionally shown because these grooves are extremely shallow, and for this reason, are shown with dots.
[0049] A portion of each degassing piece plate P.sub.1 to P.sub.4 apart from the degassing grooves G.sub.1, G.sub.2 is formed with a plurality of bolt insertion holes 32 into which many fixing bolts 31 for fixing the piece plate stack J, which is configured such that the degassing piece plates P.sub.1 to Pa are stacked on each other, to the top surface 14 of the split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2 in the piece plate stack arrangement recess 9 are inserted in a state of the piece plate stack J being incorporated into the piece plate stack arrangement recess 9 of the split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2. In the degassing piece plate P.sub.1 disposed on the lowermost side and having the greatest plate thickness, head portion insertion holes 32a in which the entireties of head portions 31a of the headed fixing bolts 31 can be inserted and disposed are connected to the bolt insertion holes 32.
[0050] Thus, when the piece plate stack J is incorporated into the piece plate stack arrangement recess 9 of the split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2 and is integrated with the split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2 with many fixing bolts 31, the sectional view of such a piece plate stack J is as shown in FIG. 13. Note that the depth D of the degassing groove G.sub.4 is extremely shallow and cannot be shown in the figure, and for this reason, FIG. 12 shows the depth D of the degassing groove G.sub.4 much deeper than the actual depth regardless of the ratio between the depth D of the degassing groove G.sub.4 and the plate thickness of the degassing piece plate P.sub.1 to P.sub.4. In the piece plate stack J integrally incorporated into the piece plate stack arrangement recess 9 of the split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2, the upper surfaces of the degassing grooves G.sub.1 to G.sub.5 are closed to form many degassing holes H, and at the end of each degassing hole H opposite to the end communicating with the second cavity C.sub.2, a gas discharge gap 42 is formed between a first outer end surface 41 of the piece plate stack J and the inner surface 15 (see FIGS. 9 and 11) of the split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2 facing the piece plate stack arrangement recess 9, and the gas discharge gap 42 is further formed with an external communication hole 43 communicating with the outside of the split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2. The sectional view of the degassing hole H formed by the degassing groove G.sub.3 inside the piece plate stack J is a view horizontally inverted from FIG. 12. Further, for the degassing holes H formed by the degassing grooves G.sub.1, G.sub.2 inside the piece plate stack J, another gas discharge gap 42 similar to the above-described gas discharge gap 42 is formed between a second outer end surface 44 of the piece plate stack J and a far-side inner surface 20 (see FIG. 11) perpendicular to both the inner surfaces 15 of the split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2 facing the piece plate stack arrangement recess 9, and gas in the cavity C is discharged to the outside of the split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2. In the present embodiment, the piece plate stack J incorporated into one split mold B.sub.2 is formed with (44=16 degassing holes H), and another piece plate stack J incorporated into the other split mold B.sub.1 is also formed with the same number of holes. Thus, the total number of degassing holes H formed inside the piece plate stacks J is 32 in the portion of the cavity C for molding the rectangular box portion F.sub.2. In addition, many degassing holes H are substantially equally disposed along both the circumferential direction and height direction of the portion of the second cavity C.sub.2 for molding the peripheral wall portion F.sub.2a of the rectangular box portion F.sub.2 of the molded article F, and therefore, the sealed gas is effectively discharged to the outside without being accumulated. Note that the degassing groove G.sub.5 causes the second cavities C.sub.2 of each double-cavity type split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2 to communicate with each other, and therefore, does not serve as a degassing hole, but serves as a gas communication hole. Thus, for example, in a case where there is a pressure difference between these cavities, gas can move from one cavity to the other cavity such that a gas accumulation state is equalized between the cavities, and therefore, the gas in each cavity can be effectively discharged.
[0051] Thus, the molten resin reaches last the portion for molding the rectangular box portion F.sub.2 of the molded article F when the molten resin is injected into the cavity C, and in addition, reaches such a portion together with gas. Thus, the gas tends to be accumulated, but is reliably discharged to the outside of the split mold B.sub.1, B.sub.2 through many degassing holes H formed in the piece plate stack J, the gas discharge gap 42, and the external communication hole 43. Thus, a sink mark, underfill, and the like at the rectangular box portion F.sub.2 of the molded article F, particularly the outer surface thereof, as in a conventional molding method can be reduced, and the molding can be performed with a high yield rate.
[0052] As shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 9, a tip end portion of the core body portion A.sub.1 of each core mold A is formed with a wide block fitting groove 17 in which an ejector block 16 integrally coupled to a tip end portion of the ejector pin E is fitted, and an ejector pin hole 18 into which the ejector pin E is inserted is formed so as to penetrate such a core mold A. A portion of the ejector pin E inserted into the core mold A is formed with a smaller diameter than those of other portions, and therefore, a compressed air circulation gap 19 is formed between such a portion and the inner peripheral surface of the ejector pin hole 18 [see FIG. 3(b)].
[0053] In a state in which the ejector block 16 coupled to the tip end portion of the ejector pin E is fitted in the block fitting groove 17 in the tip end portion of the core body portion A.sub.1 of the core mold A, such an ejector block 16 forms the tip end portion of the core body portion A.sub.1 of the core mold A. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the width of the block fitting groove 17 is gradually increased from the portion coupled to the ejector pin hole 18 to the tip end. When the ejector block 16 protrudes from the block fitting groove 17 due to protrusion of the ejector pin E, compressed air supplied to the compressed air circulation gap 19 is injected between the inner peripheral surface of the molded article F and the outer peripheral surface of the core mold A through an air circulation gap (not shown) formed between the inner surface of the block fitting groove 17 and the outer surface of the ejector block 16, and accordingly, the molded article F is slightly expanded. Thus, the inner peripheral surface of the molded article F is slightly separated from the outer peripheral surface of the core mold A, and by protruding the ejector pin E in this state, the molded article F is removed from the core mold A. In FIGS. 2 and 3, 51 indicates a compressed air hole formed between the base 1 and one split mold B.sub.2 of the movable mold M and communicating with the compressed air circulation gap 19. Note that in FIGS. 2, 3, and 5, 25 indicates a bush incorporated into the base 1 of the movable mold M to close the lower end side of the compressed air circulation gap 19 by inserting part of the ejector pin E into the bush.
[0054] There are various shapes of the rectangular box portion (great-dimension portion) F.sub.2 of the actual molded article F under the condition that the entirety thereof is in the quadrangular shape, and various entire shapes of the degassing piece plate and various numbers of degassing piece plates stacked are set depending on the shape of the great-dimension portion.
[0055] In order to increase the total number of degassing holes H formed in the piece plate stack J, the degassing grooves can be formed in both the front and back surfaces of the degassing piece plate.
[0056] In the above-described embodiment, the example where the present invention is applied to the double-cavity type injection molding mold has been described, but needless to say, the present invention can also be applied to a multi-cavity type injection molding mold with two or more cavities and a single-cavity type injection molding mold by changing the entire shape of the degassing piece plate.
[0057] Further, in the above-describe embodiment, the injection molding mold has been described, which is for molding the irregular tubular molded article opened only on one end side in the removal direction, closed on the other end side which is the molten resin injection side, and having, on the opening side, the quadrangular box-shaped great-dimension portion having a greater dimension than those of other portions.
