Next, as shown in FIG. 13, the surface material 41 and the back material 42 are sequentially arranged on the mold surface 31 of the primary mold 30, and these are integrally cured, so that the upper mold 40b of the sand mold 40 shown in FIG. Is made.
[0033]
Further, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the lower mold 40a of the sand mold 40 is produced using the wooden mold 50b. The lower mold 40a is made of the same material as the back material 42 of the upper mold 40b.
A cavity 44 is formed by superposing the lower mold 40a and the upper mold 40b of the produced sand mold 40 as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 17, molten metal such as aluminum or iron is poured into the cavity 44 to cast the upper mold 1 b of the foam molding die 1.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, a pear pattern (uneven pattern 13) is formed on the molding surface 11 of the upper mold 1b of the foam molding die 1 as shown in FIG.
The foaming mold was provided with pores having a pitch of 25 mm and a pore diameter of 1 mm (not shown) for venting air and introducing steam.
[0034]
In this way, the lower mold 1a and the upper mold 1b of the foaming mold 1 as shown in FIG. 1 are produced.
Then, pre-expanded particles of thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene are filled in the foam molding die 1 and heated, foamed, and fused with a heating medium such as water vapor to form the foam molded body 2. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, a pear ground pattern (uneven pattern 23) is formed on the surface 21 of the foamed molded body 2 together with the turtle shell pattern 22.
[0035]
Next, the effect of this example will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, innumerable uneven patterns 13 are formed on the molding surface 11 of the foam molding die 1. Therefore, by forming the foam molded body 2 using the foam molding die 1, the surface 21 of the foam molded body 2 has innumerable concavo-convex patterns 23 corresponding to the concavo-convex patterns 13 of the molding surface 11, that is, pears. A ground pattern can be formed.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 18, the turtle shell pattern 22 formed between the foamed resin particles 20 constituting the foamed molded body 2 can be made inconspicuous, and the appearance design of the foamed molded body 2 can be improved. Can do.
[0036]
Moreover, since the uneven | corrugated pattern 13 in the said foaming mold 1 is directly formed in the molding surface 11, the structure of the foaming mold 1 can be simplified. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the foam mold 1 can be reduced and the production efficiency can be improved.
Further, when molding the foam molded body 2, it is not necessary to separately provide another member for attaching the uneven pattern 23 to the foam molded body 2, so that the manufacturing cost of the foam molded body 2 can be reduced. , The production efficiency can be improved.
[0037]
Moreover, since the rough sand which comprises the said surface material 41 is 0.5-5.0 mm in average particle diameter, the uneven | corrugated pattern 23 of a moderate magnitude | size can be formed in the surface 21 of the foaming molding 2. FIG. Therefore, the turtle shell pattern 22 on the surface 21 of the foam molded body 2 can be made inconspicuous more effectively, and the appearance design can be improved.
[0038]
As described above, according to this example, a foam molding die capable of forming a foam molded article excellent in appearance design property inexpensively and efficiently, a manufacturing method thereof, and a foam molding molded by the foam molding die. The body can be provided.
[0039]
(Experimental example)
A foam-molded article was produced using the foam-molding die shown in the above examples.
That is, polypropylene pre-expanded particles having a bulk density of 18 g / L (manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Foam Plastic Co., Ltd., trade name: EP Pole) were compressed and filled as foamed resin particles in a foaming mold at a filling pressure of 0.15 MPa.
Subsequently, foam molding was performed under the conditions of a heating water vapor pressure of 0.3 MPa, a heating time of 30 seconds, and a cooling time of 60 seconds. The molded article magnification of the obtained foamed molded product was 30 times. And as shown in FIG. 18 of the said Example, many pear ground patterns (uneven | corrugated pattern 23) and the turtle shell pattern 22 were formed on the surface of the foaming molding. However, the presence of the turtle shell pattern 22 is not noticeable due to the pear pattern, and the design of the surface of the foamed molded product has been improved.
On the other hand, as a comparative example, a foamed molded product was produced under the same conditions as above using a conventional foamed mold in which the uneven pattern was not formed.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 19, the pear ground pattern 92 was very conspicuous because the pear pattern was not formed.
