Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Formteilen aus Kunstunststoff durch Spritzgießen, bei dem Kunststoff in einer Plastifiziereinrichtung plastifiziert wird und der plastifizierte Kunststoff in ein mindestens zweiteiliges Spritzgießwerkzeug eingespritzt wird.The invention relates to a method for producing molded parts from Plastic by injection molding, with the plastic in one Plasticizing device is plasticized and the plasticized plastic is injected into an at least two-part injection mold.
Desweiteren betrifft die Erfindung eine Vorrichtung zum Spritzgießen von Formteilen aus Kunststoff.Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for injection molding of molded parts made of plastic.
Neue Entwicklungen in der Spritzgießtechnologie versuchen, immer kleinere Teile aus Kunststoff formgenau herzustellen. Es ist nämlich in jüngerer Zeit der Bedarf aufgetreten, Spritzgießformteile mit besonders kleinen Ausmaßen herzustellen. Hier sind mikro-mechanische Bauteile (z. B. Mikrozahnräder für Kleinstpumpen), medizintechnische Kleinteile und optoelektronische Elemente (z. B. Teile für Lichtleiter) als Beispiel bauteile zu nennen. Die Herstellung solcher Teile mit bekannten Spritzgießverfahren und Spritzgießmaschinen führt zu Problemen.Always trying new developments in injection molding technology to produce smaller parts made of plastic with exact shape. Because it is in More recently the need has arisen, with injection molding parts with special small dimensions. Here are micro-mechanical components (e.g. micro gears for small pumps), small medical parts and optoelectronic elements (e.g. parts for light guides) as an example to name components. The manufacture of such parts with known Injection molding processes and injection molding machines lead to problems.
Eines dieser Probleme ist durch die Fluidmechanik im Werkzeug bedingt. Da bei Kleinstteilen die Abmessungen in extremen Fällen bis auf wenige Mikrometer klein werden können, ist es aufgrund der Viskosität der Kunststoffschmelze nicht sicher gegeben, daß Schmelze bis in die äußersten Bereich der Werkzeugkavität gelangt, auch wenn mit üblichem Schmelzedruck gearbeitet wird.One of these problems is due to the fluid mechanics in the tool. As for small parts, the dimensions in extreme cases except for a few Micrometer can become small, it is due to the viscosity of the Plastic melt not certain that melt will go right into the reaches the outermost area of the tool cavity, even if with the usual Melt pressure is worked.
Weiterhin spielt die Homogenität der Schmelze bei der Herstellung solch kleiner Teile eine wesentliche Rolle. Geringfügige Einschlüsse, z. B. Gasblasen, führen bei Mikro-Formteilen dann bereits zum Ausschuß.Furthermore, the homogeneity of the melt plays a role in the production of such small parts play an essential role. Minor inclusions, e.g. B. Gas bubbles then lead to rejects for micro-molded parts.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein verbessertes Spritzgießverfahren und eine zugehörige Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit dem bzw. mit der es möglich ist, stets eine vollständige Kavitätsfüllung auch bei sehr kleinen Werkzeugkavitäten zu erreichen und weiterhin für eine möglichst homogene und insofern einschlußfreie Schmelze zu sorgen.The invention is therefore based on the object of an improved Injection molding process and an associated device to create with which it is possible to always fill the cavity completely to reach even with very small tool cavities and still for a melt that is as homogeneous as possible and thus free of inclusions to care.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe durch die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß Teile der Spritzgießmaschine, mindestens das Spritzgießwerkzeug (2, 3) und die Plastifiziereinrichtung (1), zumindest während des Spritzgießprozesses, unter einem Vakuum (V) gehalten werden.The achievement of the object by the invention is characterized in that parts of the injection molding machine, at least the injection mold ( 2 , 3 ) and the plasticizing device ( 1 ), are held under a vacuum (V), at least during the injection molding process.
Bei der zugehörigen Vorrichtung ist vorgesehen, daß Mittel (4, 5) zur Erzeugung eines Vakuums (V) zumindest im Bereich des Spritzgießwerkzeugs (2, 3) und der Plastifiziereinrichtung (1) vorhanden sind.The associated device provides that means ( 4 , 5 ) for generating a vacuum (V) are present at least in the area of the injection mold ( 2 , 3 ) and the plasticizing device ( 1 ).
Damit wird in vorteilhafter Weise erreicht, daß die Kunststoffschmelze bis in den Endbereich der Kavität vordringen kann, da sich in dieser nun kein störendes bzw. bremsendes Luftpolster mehr befindet. Weiterhin wird durch das Vakuum eine Entgasung der Schmelze bewirkt, so daß sie weitgehend störungsfrei ist. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, daß durch das Vakuum Reinraumbedingungen im evakuierten Bereich geschaffen werden.This advantageously ensures that the plastic melt can penetrate into the end area of the cavity, since it is now in this there is no longer a disturbing or braking air cushion. Farther degassing of the melt is effected by the vacuum, so that it is largely trouble-free. Another advantage is that Vacuum clean room conditions created in the evacuated area will.
In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt. Die Figur zeigt schematisch den Schnitt durch eine Spritzgießmaschine.In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown. The figure shows schematically the section through an injection molding machine.
In der Figur ist eine Plastifiziereinrichtung 1 zu sehen, in der in üblicher Weise Kunststoff plastifiziert wird. Eine Plastifizierschnecke rotiert dabei in einem Schneckenzylinder. Zwecks Einspritzung der Kunststoff schmelze in das Spritzgießwerkzeug, das aus den Teilen 2 und 3 besteht, wird die Schnecke mit einer Kraft F translatorisch im Schneckenzylinder bewegt (s. Doppelpfeil).The figure shows a plasticizing device 1 in which plastic is plasticized in the usual way. A plasticizing screw rotates in a screw cylinder. In order to inject the plastic melt into the injection mold, which consists of parts 2 and 3 , the screw is moved translationally in the screw cylinder with a force F (see double arrow).
Um gewisse Teile der Spritzgießmaschine (oder um die gesamte Spritzgießmaschine herum) ist eine Evakuierhaube 4 gelegt, die im skizzierten Falle an der Werkzeugträgerplatte abgedichtet anliegt. Mittels einer Vakuumpumpe 5, die von einem Motor M angetrieben wird, wird der Bereich der Spritzgießmaschine evakuiert, um den die Haube 4 gelegt ist. Im vorliegenden Falle trifft das für die Plastifiziereinrichtung 1 und das Werkzeug 2, 3 zu.An evacuation hood 4 is placed around certain parts of the injection molding machine (or around the entire injection molding machine), which in the sketched case lies tightly against the tool carrier plate. The area of the injection molding machine around which the hood 4 is placed is evacuated by means of a vacuum pump 5 , which is driven by a motor M. In the present case, this applies to the plasticizing device 1 and the tool 2 , 3 .
Das durch die Mittel 4, 5 zur Erzeugung des Vakuums erzeugte Vakuum V bewirkt, daß Gasblasen aus der einzuspritzenden Schmelze gelöst werden, so daß die Schmelze besser homogenisiert wird. Weiterhin gelangt die Schmelze beim Einspritzen auch bei sehr kleinen Kavitätsabmessungen bis in die - von der Plastifiziereinrichtung her gesehen - entferntesten Bereiche der Kavität, so daß eine vollständige Kavitätsfüllung gewährleistet ist.The vacuum V generated by the means 4 , 5 for generating the vacuum causes gas bubbles to be released from the melt to be injected, so that the melt is better homogenized. Furthermore, when the injection is carried out, even with very small cavity dimensions, the melt reaches the most distant areas of the cavity, as seen from the plasticizing device, so that complete cavity filling is ensured.
