Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an under fill from being formed in protrusions of a foam molded product and simplify the maintenance to improve productivity. SOLUTION: Air flow storing lines 21 and 22 for communicating protruded spaces 14, 15 and 16 adjoining one another are formed on wall sections 18 and 19 formed in a cavity 13 and parting respective protruded spaces 14, 15 and 16. Thus following the infiltration of urethane U reacted and expanded in the cavity 13 into the protruded spaces 14, 15 and 16, air stored in the protruded spaces 14, 15 and 16 and gas generated from the urethane U are moved into the protruded space 14 adjacent to joining parted faces P, L through the air flow storing lines 21 and 22, and eventually exhausted from the parting line P, L to outside a mold.

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a foaming mold comprises an upper mold 41 and a lower mold 42 which can be opened and closed with each other, for example, as shown in FIG. A cavity 43 based on the shape of the foam molded article is defined inside. When molding the foam molded article P by the foam molding die 30, for example, in the case of the open injection method, the lower mold 42 is opened while the upper mold 41 is opened.
When a predetermined amount of urethane stock solution is injected into the cavity 43 and the upper mold 41 is clamped to the lower mold 42, the urethane stock solution becomes opaque creamy by a chemical reaction, and then fine bubbles are generated and foaming occurs. After the start, the cavity 43 is filled after a predetermined time (rise time).

The foam molded product P shown in FIG. 8A has a total of four protrusions P 1 , P 2 , P 3 , and P 4 that are adjacent to each other and protrude outward at appropriate intervals. Because it has a shape that
In the foaming mold 40, the wall 41 is provided on the inner surface of the upper mold 41.

2, the protruding space 44, 45, 46, 47 corresponding to P 3, P 4 is defined above the cavity 43. For this reason, when the urethane stock solution injected into the cavity 43 starts a foaming reaction and the urethane U gradually expands upward, air remaining in the cavity 43 and gas generated by the foaming reaction of the urethane stock solution flow into the respective projecting spaces 44, It is pushed up to 45, 46, 47. At this time, the first protruding space 44 and the fourth protruding space 47 located on both sides of FIG. 7 are adjacent to the joint dividing plane PL between the upper die 41 and the lower die 42,
The air and gas in 47 can be appropriately discharged to the outside of the foaming mold 40 through a gas venting gap formed in the joint division plane PL. However, the second inside
Since the projecting space 45 and the third projecting space 46 are not adjacent to the joining division plane PL, air and gas in the projecting spaces 45 and 46 remain without being discharged out of the mold. Therefore, in the foam molded article P actually molded, FIG.
As shown in (b), the underfill portions S are formed in the protrusions P 2 and P 3 corresponding to the second protrusion space 45 and the third protrusion space 46, thereby causing a product defect.

It is a type that allows discharge to the outside. Further, in this type of foam molding die 55, there is a type in which a slab 57 that allows only air and gas to pass is disposed on the inner wall surface of the die corresponding to the air discharge hole 56. Although not shown, respective projecting spaces 45, 4 are formed in the wall of the upper die 41.
6 and a plug member capable of closing each air discharge port is provided, and a corresponding protruding space is removed by removing the plug member from the air discharge port in the foam molding process. Foam molds capable of discharging air and gas in the tubes 45 and 46 to the outside of the mold have been implemented.

The foaming mold 55 illustrated in FIG. 9 allows the air and gas in the second projecting space 45 and the third projecting space 46 to be discharged outside the mold. , it is possible to avoid a disadvantage that the underfill portion S in the projections P 2, P 3 of the molded foamed molded article P is formed. However, in the case where the foam molding die 55 is not equipped with the slab 57, the urethane U is clogged in the air discharge hole 56 in one molding operation. There are inherent low drawbacks. Further, in the type equipped with the slab 57, even if the urethane removal work of the air discharge hole 56 becomes unnecessary, the work of mounting and setting the slab 56 is required for each molding work. Efficiency could not be improved. Moreover, in the foaming mold 55, since the discharge amount of air and gas cannot be controlled, there is also a disadvantage that the P of the foamed molded product rises due to excessive air and gas escape.

As described above, according to the foaming mold according to the present invention, the projecting space which is not adjacent to the joint division surface of the upper mold and the lower mold and the joint division surface are spatially separated by the air flow accommodating passage. Due to the communication structure, air and gas confined in the protruding space can be discharged from the joint division surface through the air flow accommodating passage, and a notched portion is formed in the protrusion of the foam molded product. There is an advantage that the inconvenience that is formed can be preferably avoided. Further, since the air circulation accommodating passage is opened at a portion where the air and gas are finally confined in the protruding space, even if the communication between the air circulation accommodating passage and the protruding space is cut off, the air circulation accommodating passage is closed. The air and gas confined in the inside are accommodated in the air circulation accommodating passage utilizing the foaming pressure of urethane, and it is suitably allowed that the protruding space is filled with urethane. Moreover, since the volume of the air circulation accommodating passage is set on the premise of the total volume of air and gas to be finally confined, air remains in the projecting space or urethane enters the air circulation accommodating passage. Can be suitably avoided, so that it is not necessary to carry out the urethane removal operation in the air circulation accommodating passage every time. Further, since the pressure in the cavity is optimized, it is possible to suitably prevent the bottom of the foam molded product from rising due to excessive escape of air and gas.
