Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the mold release of injection molding which uses the valve gate system and to improve the production efficiency by providing the inner hole of a hub with an undercut, which adds a release resistance. CONSTITUTION:When a valve gate is used to open upper and lower molds after molding, a formed reel hub 20 is separated from the cavity mold and is stuck to a core mold 31 because the resistance of a projecting part 33 and a cylinder part 32 of the core mold 31 is higher than that of the cavity mold. When a formed article is thrust in the direction of an arrow by a proper means, the reel hub 20 is thrust away from the core mold 31. Consequently, mold release is facilitated to improve the production efficiency when the reel hub 20 is formed by the valve gate system of good productivity. It is better to provide an undercut 36 nearest the lower face side of the hub 22 because a flaw 34 is not given to the inside face of a shaft hole 35.

Generally, the tape reel for videotape is JP-A-60-2.
As described in Japanese Patent No. 50923, the reel hub includes a reel hub formed by integrally molding a lower flange and a tape winding hub, and an upper flange attached to the upper part of the hub. The upper end surface of the reel hub has a center pivot (
A protrusion) and a plurality of bins or bosses arranged at equal intervals around the protrusion. After the boss is fitted into the hole in the upper flange, the reel hub and the upper flange are integrally connected by ultrasonic welding or the like. The reel hub is an integrally molded body of a lower flange 8 and a drum-shaped hub 7, as shown in FIG.

Generally, such reel hubs are manufactured by injection molding of resin. The gate system used in the conventional injection molding method for reel hubs is the spear gate system shown in FIG. 2(a). A heater 5 is built inside the gate 3, and the tip 4 at the tip of the nozzle is used as an oven gate. By adjusting the heater power, the resin is melted or solidified, the gate is opened and closed, and the resin 6 is injected. At this time, a fluidized layer is formed in the resin along the heater, and a solidified layer is formed along the gate wall surface. The advantage of this gate system is that since the gate is long and narrow, the spear gate 4 can be inserted into the inner hole of the drum-shaped hub 7 and positioned at the center of the inner surface of the upper end of the hub, as shown in FIG. This makes the resin flow uniform and at the same time prevents the protruding gate marks from interfering with other parts, thereby improving dimensional accuracy. However, in the spear gate method, the resin drips and solidifies at the tip of the gate each time injection molding is performed, so there is the trouble of having to remove the solidified resin portion at the beginning of molding, resulting in a decrease in molding efficiency. Also, it took time to process the solidified resin when changing types.

In contrast, the present invention employs a valve gate method with good production efficiency. In this gate method, as shown in FIG. 2(b), a valve 14 is inserted into a gate 11 which is constantly heated externally, and the tip of the tip 12 of the gate is opened and closed by moving it up and down. In this method, the passage of the chip 12 can be made sufficiently large, so the injection pressure can be reduced, and the efficiency of the injection work can be improved.In addition, the resin at the gate can be easily cut off at the end of injection, and the time required to release the residual pressure can be reduced. This method eliminates the need for a spear gate, making it possible to perform much faster molding operations than the spear gate method, but the space required to accommodate the valve is large, making it large, and the gate cannot be inserted from the shaft hole side of the hub. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the valve gate 13 needs to be positioned on the upper end side of the hub, but gate marks are formed, causing problems in terms of accuracy and appearance, and so it has rarely been used in molding reel hubs.

The attitude of the reel hub 7 when molded as shown in the figure is a vertical inversion of the attitude when using a spear gate.

Molding is performed using a mold consisting of a core mold that defines the inner hole of the hub and the lower surface of the lower flange, and a cavity mold that defines the outer periphery of the hub and the upper end surface of the lower flange. Weak (When the mold is opened after the resin has hardened, the molded product remains attached to the cavity mold (upper mold) with a large contact area due to the large mold release resistance, and there are few gripping areas, so it is difficult to release the molded product.) The mold becomes very difficult.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention will now be described in detail in conjunction with examples. Fourth
Figures 1 to 6 show an embodiment of a tape reel equipped with a reel hub according to the invention. This tape reel has lower flange 2
1 and a drum-shaped hub 22 formed integrally with the reel hub 20. The inside of the hub is hollow and opens downward, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. Further, a recess is formed in the circumference of the hub 22, and a tape clamp 23 is fitted into the recess to form a part of the hub 22. The upper surface of the hub 22 has a slightly recessed central portion for mounting an upper flange 26 and a raised annular portion around the central portion. An upper flange 26 is also attached to this upper surface. For this installation, as described in the above-cited publication, a plurality of bosses may be provided on the upper surface of the hub 22 and these may be fitted into holes provided in the upper flange and heat-sealed, or other methods such as adhesive may be used. It may be fixed using the following method. The center portion of the lower surface of the upper flange 26 protrudes slightly downward and can fit into the recessed portion of the hub 22.

A center hole 27 is formed in the upper hub 26, into which a pivot is received. The pivot 25 consists of a base 28 larger than the diameter of the hole 27 in the upper flange, a small diameter portion 29 having a diameter that fits into the hole 27, and a protrusion 30 (a portion that contacts the spring on the case side) formed on the upper surface of the base 28. . The lower surface of the base 28 has a recess (FIGS. 5-6) into which the gate mark 24 is received.

FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of this invention, in which a convex portion 33 is formed in a part of a cylindrical portion 32 corresponding to the hub shaft hole of a core mold 31 (the cavity mold is not shown). . This convex portion has a size sufficient to provide mold release resistance so that the reel hub 20 remains on the core mold side when the upper and lower molds are separated. This size is selected so that it will not cause any problem in releasing the reel hub from the mold later. Therefore, when the upper and lower molds are opened to each other after molding using the valve gate, the protrusion 3 of the core mold 31
Since the resistance of the reel hub 3 and the cylindrical portion 32 is greater than the resistance of the cavity mold, the molded reel hub 20 is separated from the cavity mold and adheres to the core mold. When the molded part is then pulled in the direction of the arrow by suitable means, the reel hub is also separated from the core mold. At this time, if the convex part 33 is too high, a corresponding undercut (concave part) will be formed.
Scratch 34 on the inner surface of the shaft hole 35 from 36 to the bottom surface of the shaft hole.
is attached. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, it is better to provide the protrusion 33 and the corresponding undercut 36 as close to the lower surface of the hub as possible. If necessary, in addition to the above configuration, the parting line of the mold, which is the part of the outer peripheral surface of the lower flange where the core mold and the cavity mold contact each other, may be formed into a tooth profile on the outer peripheral surface of the lower flange. It is convenient if the core mold is provided at the upper end of the mold because the core mold hugs the outer periphery of the flange as shown in FIG. 9, further adding mold release resistance.

(Function and Effect) As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention solves the problem of poor mold release properties that occurred when molding reel hubs using highly productive valve gates, by adding mold release resistance to the inner hole of the hub. Since the undercut is provided, release from the cavity mold occurs first, and then release from the core mold occurs. Therefore, the problem of remaining cavities in the reel hub that occurs when changing the molding method is avoided, and production efficiency is improved.
