- Melt front merging occurs, for example, by injecting molten resin from multiple gates into the cavity.
- the merging of the melt front occurs on the downstream side of an obstacle arranged in the molding space so as to form an outer shape matching the inner shape of the hole. That is, the molten resin diverted by the obstacle merges in such a way as to wrap around behind, thereby forming a weld.
- Examples of the molded product having the through-hole include a thin plate-shaped molded product having a large number of key holes, such as a calculator and a casing of a mobile phone.

The temporary space is extinguished before the capacity of the temporary space is reached.
- the occurrence of welds can be prevented, but the flow rate of the molten resin originating from the first-order gate and the second order added behind the flow front of the molten resin originating from the first-order Since the flow velocity of the molten resin originating from the gate is different, there is a problem that a flow mark is easily generated.
- the occurrence of welds can be prevented and the backflow of the molten resin originating from the second-order gate can be prevented.
- the first-order gate closes relatively early. Therefore, the first-order gate may be closed before the molten resin sufficiently spreads to the portion to be filled with the molten resin originating from the first-order gate. In that case, molding failure occurs.
- the degree of freedom in designing the shape of the molded product and the gate position is greatly restricted.
- the present invention relates to an injection molding technique using a mold having a plurality of gates.

- a plurality of gates for injecting the molten material into the cavity Can be set for each gut,
- the temporary space is configured as a long groove provided on a side protruding from the surface of the target molded product at a portion connecting the openings of the adjacent gates,
- the timing of injecting the molten material from each gate is determined by the timing at which the front of the molten material, which is injected from one of the adjacent gates and advances along the groove, passes through the other gut position, Is set to start the injection of molten material,

- Discarded cavities are spaces that communicate with the cavities to receive excess resin overflowing from the cavities.
- the disposal cavity is preferably provided on the downstream side farthest from the gate from which the resin is injected.
- the groove functions as a so-called flow leader. That is, since the groove is thick, the temperature of the molten material decreases relatively more slowly than the non-groove (thin part). For this reason, the flow speed of the molten material in the groove becomes faster than that in the non-groove (thin portion), and it functions as a flow leader.
- the inner surface of the cavity in which the groove is provided may be the inner surface on the gate opening side or the inner surface on the side facing the gate opening. Desirably, it is the inner surface on the side to be the back surface (the surface not requiring beautiful appearance) in the target molded product.

- second-order gate the flow speed of the molten material can be increased. It is possible to reduce the time required for the molten material originating from the first-rank gate to reach the second-highest gut position. In other words, if the target value of the required time is fixed, the distance between the first and second gut positions can be set large. For this reason, even a thin molded product or a large molded product having a large flow resistance can be molded without increasing the number of gates. Also, by providing the flow leader as described above, the flow speed of the molten material can be reduced. High Since the speed can be increased, the speed difference from the molten material press-fitted from the second-order gate is reduced, and the occurrence of flow marks can be sufficiently suppressed.
- the timing at which the front of the molten material press-fitted from the first-order gate and traveling along the groove passes through the second-order gut means that the molten resin press-fitted from the second-ordernet is the first-order gut. This is the timing that can be added to the back side of the flow front of the molten resin press-fitted from above. Desirably, the timing is immediately after the molten resin press-fitted from the first-rank gate has passed the second-rank gut position.
- the predetermined time is set to the time required for the flow front of the molten material which is press-fitted from the first-order gate and advances along the groove to pass through the second-order gut position.
- the predetermined position is a screw position at which the flow front of the molten material that is pushed out of the screw, press-fitted from the first-order gate, and proceeds along the groove passes through the second-order gate position.

- the above-mentioned operation and effect that the molten material can be sufficiently spread to the region to be filled with the molten material of the first order from the gut to prevent molding defects can be achieved by opening and closing the gate of the first order in the second order. What can be done regardless of opening and closing the gate It is also the effect achieved.
- the first-order gate is closed at the timing when the second-order gut is opened. In some cases, it may not be possible to sufficiently spread the molten material to the region to be filled with water, but with the configuration of the present invention, such a problem does not occur.
- the molten material in the groove is pushed back to the inside of the cavity.

- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-104,582 discloses that, with respect to a molten resin displaced by a piercing pin, a filling amount of the molten resin is controlled so that a void corresponding to the volume is left in a molding space. It is mentioned that the space for evacuating the displaced molten resin can be made unnecessary, but in reality, it is not possible to control so that a strict amount of molten resin is injected into the molding space. It is technically very difficult.
- An object of the present invention is to enable a molded article having a hole such as a through hole to be molded at low cost without increasing the size of a mechanism for preventing welds.
- This object is achieved by any one of the following configurations [2-1] to [2-4].

- the movable pin is also used as the pressure detecting means in such a case where the movable pin is slightly protruded from before the advance, an effect is obtained that the pressure of the molten resin can be detected more sensitively.
- the protruding volume when it does not protrude is, of course, equal to the volume of the hole in the target molded product (see the broken line in Fig. 7 (a)).
- the timing for moving the movable pin into the molding space is such that the molten resin filling amount subtracts the moving pin advance volume from the molding space volume immediately after the front of the molten resin passes through the predetermined portion where the movable pin is provided.
- the time is an arbitrary time within a period until the amount reaches the predetermined amount, but is preferably a time immediately after the flow front of the molten resin has passed. That is, since the resistance from the molten resin is the shortest immediately after the flow of the molten resin has passed, the driving force for driving the movable pin is small, and the apparatus can be miniaturized most.
- the time when the flow front of the molten resin passes through the predetermined portion provided with the movable pin can be determined, for example, as shown in the following (i) to (V).

- the predetermined time can be determined based on the distance between the pressure detection position and the movable pin and the thermal conductivity therebetween.
- the time when the flow front of the molten resin passes through a predetermined portion on the upstream side of the movable pin installation position is detected by a photosensor, and a predetermined time after that time is set as the flow front passage time.
- the predetermined time can be determined from the distance between the flow front detection position and the movable pin and the speed of the molten resin.
- the movable pin is driven by a hydraulic mechanism that adjusts the pressure based on the pressure of the molten resin at a predetermined position on the upstream side of the movable pin in the molding space.
- An injection mold characterized by the following.
- Examples of the hydraulic mechanism for adjusting the pressure based on the pressure of the molten resin at a predetermined portion on the upstream side of the movable pin include the following (i) to (ii).
- the movable pin is driven according to the pressure of the hydraulic circuit 4 32 a, which is pressurized in conjunction with the mold clamping operation of the injection molding machine, in accordance with detection of the pressure of the molten resin at a predetermined position on the upstream side of the movable pin.
- the pressure of the molten resin at a predetermined portion (for example, a portion facing the gate) upstream of the movable pin is applied to the hydraulic circuit 4 32 b, and when the pressure of the hydraulic circuit 4 32 b reaches the predetermined pressure, the pressure regulating valve 4 3 A hydraulic mechanism that opens 3b and transmits the pressure of the hydraulic circuit 432b to the hydraulic circuit 434b for driving the movable pin.
- a molten material is filled into a cavity having a shape corresponding to the shape of a target molded product and in which the temporary space is communicated, and the molten material is filled before reaching the capacity of the cavity.
- the temporary space is a space corresponding to a hole of a target molded product
- the means for eliminating the temporary space includes an outer peripheral surface having a shape matching the inner peripheral surface of the hole of the target molded product, and is provided at a predetermined portion of the molding surface of the cavity so as to be able to advance to the cavity.
- the movable pin is moved until the filling amount of the molten material reaches an amount obtained by subtracting the advance volume of the movable pin from the capacity of the cavity.
- the movable pin is driven by a hydraulic mechanism that adjusts the pressure based on the pressure of the molten resin at a predetermined position on the upstream side of the movable pin in the molding space.
- the same material as in the above [1] can be used.
- [3] In the case of a molded product in which the diverging and merging of the molten resin are inevitable
- the technique (d) is a technique for preventing the molten resin from joining behind the through hole having a relatively small diameter to thereby prevent the weld from occurring. For this reason, if it is applied to a through-hole having a relatively large diameter, for example, there is a problem that resistance when the perforated pin is protruded into the molten resin is increased, resulting in an increase in size of the apparatus and an increase in cost.
- the technique (e) is a technique for causing the molten resin to merge on the rear side of the through hole in the rib, and cutting the rib portion after the resin is solidified to prevent the weld of the molded product. There is a problem that the resin in the rib portion is wasted and a cutting step is required, resulting in an increase in the size of the device and an increase in cost.
- the present invention does not waste the resin, increases the size of the apparatus, and increases the cost when the joining of the molten resin cannot be avoided due to the shape of the target molded product (through hole, etc.).

Because of the relatively thick wall, the temperature of the molten resin decreases relatively slowly compared to the part in the molding space. For this reason, the flow velocity of the molten resin is higher in the resin pool than in the molding space, It functions as a so-called flow leader.

- the number of holes in the molded article may be one or two or more. Similarly, various shapes such as a square, a polygon, a circle, etc. can be assumed for the shape of the hole.
- the timing at which the extinguishing means is operated to extinguish the resin reservoir is after the molten resin is filled in the resin reservoir and before the molten resin is filled in the molding space, preferably in the molding space. It is before the molten resin is injected into the molding space from the gate by subtracting the volume of the resin reservoir from the volume. More preferably, immediately after the molten resin is filled in the resin reservoir. Before the molding space is filled with the molten resin, the resistance of the molten resin in the molding space at the time of eliminating the resin pool and pushing the molten resin back into the molding space is small.

As a result, the movable pin drive mechanism 40 operates to cause the movable pin 41 to advance into the resin reservoir 3 33, and to extrude the molten resin that has filled the resin reservoir 3 33 into the cavity 303. .
- the timing at which the movable pin 41 is advanced to the resin reservoir portion 33 33 to push out the molten resin in the resin reservoir portion 33 33 is determined by the installation position of the pressure sensor 45 in the illustrated example.
- the timing from the time immediately after the molten resin fills the resin reservoir section 33, the time at which the cavity 303 is filled with an amount equivalent to the volume of the resin reservoir section 33 (cavity 303) Any time during the period from the time when the molten resin of the amount obtained by subtracting the volume of the resin reservoir portion 33 33 from the volume of the molten resin to the inside of the cavity 31 into the cavity 303 can be adopted.
- the movable pin 41 can be advanced with a relatively small force. If the time immediately after the molten resin fills the resin reservoir 3 3 3 is set as the above timing, the force required to extrude the molten resin is minimized.For example, a movable pin using the pressure of the molten resin is used. A configuration that drives 4 1 is also possible. In addition, the movable pin drive mechanism 40 can be reduced in size and cost.
- FIGS. 13 and 14 show an example of a mechanism for moving the movable pin 41 forward and backward.
- Figure 13 shows FIG. 14 is the same as FIG. 8 described above, and FIG. 14 is the same as FIG. 9 described above. Therefore, description is omitted.
- FIG. 13 differs from FIG. 8 in the arrangement position of the pressure sensing pin 45a and the destination of the movable pin 41.
- FIG. 14 differs from FIG. 9 in the destination of the movable pin 41.
- a weld can be prevented, a flow mark can be easily and reliably prevented, and a molding material that is first press-fitted is placed behind the melt front. It is possible to prevent the backflow of the molding material to be additionally injected without being greatly restricted by the degree of freedom in designing the desired molded product shape / gate position.
- a molded product having a hole such as a through hole can be molded at low cost without increasing the size of a mechanism for preventing welds.
- the resin is not wasted and the size of the equipment is increased. It is possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of weld without inviting.
