[Prior Art] Stampable sheets are in increasing demand mainly for automotive structural parts because of their excellent mechanical strength, workability, and mass productivity. Conventional methods for manufacturing stampable sheets include the lamination method, in which a mat made of continuous fibers is laminated and impregnated with thermoplastic resin to form a sheet, and the other method is to form a mat by dispersing discontinuous fibers and thermoplastic resin fibers or particles. A dispersion method in which this mat-like material is heated, pressurized, and cooled to form a sheet is well known.

A method such as that disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 59224 is known. In the stampable sheets produced by these methods, the reinforcing fibers are uniformly dispersed in the molded product, and the strength and dimensional accuracy of each part of the molded product are stable. However, the required performance of the product may require even higher strength and rigidity, or higher mechanical strength in the longitudinal direction, such as a bumper beam. In response to these demands, methods such as increasing the content of reinforcing fibers and adding continuous fibers aligned in one direction to a layer in which reinforcing fibers are uniformly dispersed have been proposed, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-240514. It is used for j.

However, in the method of increasing the reinforcing fiber content, there is a problem in that the expression rate of the effect of the inclusion is small and the growth property is reduced. In addition, in the method of adding continuous fibers aligned in one direction to a layer in which reinforcing fibers are uniformly dispersed, there is a decrease in molding fluidity in the reinforced direction, deterioration of bending due to delamination, and a decrease in compressive properties. Therefore, there is a problem in creating an LTN that cannot satisfy the required performance.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a method for paper-making a t-mixed layer of discontinuous fibers and thermoplastic resin, in which after forming a foamed dispersion of discontinuous fibers and thermoplastic resin, the foamed dispersion is The foamed dispersion is fed onto the mesh belt moving through the head box, negative pressure is applied from the opposite side to which the foamed dispersion is fed, the foamed dispersion liquid is drained through the meshheld and the drain port, and the discontinuous fibers and the foamed dispersion are discharged onto the meshheld. In the process of paper-making a mixed layer of thermoplastic resin, foaming is performed using a headbox with multiple stages in the height direction, with each stage having a height of 0.2 to 1.0 times the length of the discontinuous fibers. This is a method for making a unidirectional fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin stamped bubble sheet by dividing the flow path of a thermoplastic dispersion liquid and feeding it onto a moving mesh belt.

Discontinuous fibers, thermoplastic resin, etc. are dispersed and mixed in a foaming liquid such as water containing a surfactant in a dispersion tank 1.
The foamed dispersion is passed through a head box 2. The inside of the head box 2 of the present invention is divided into multiple stages in the height direction, and each stage has a height of 0.2 to 1.0 times the length of the discontinuous fibers. The divided foamed dispersion is poured onto a meshheld 3. This mesh belt 3
A drain port 4 is installed at the lower part of the drain port 4, and the liquid of the foamed cinnamon dispersion is drained from the meshheld 3 and the drain port 4 by negative pressure. The mixed layer of discontinuous fibers and thermoplastic resin from which the foaming liquid has been drained is dried by a drier 5, and if necessary, heated by a hot press 6 to be formed into a dense sheet. Here, the heights of the steps in the head hox 2 do not have to be all the same, and any combination may be used as long as it is within the range of 0.2 to 1.0 times the length of the discontinuous fibers. Further, the height of each step in the head box 2 does not need to be uniform from the inlet side to the outlet side of the foamable dispersion liquid, and is 0.2 to 1 height of the discontinuous fiber length.
It is sufficient if it is within the range of 0 times.

According to the present invention, when the foamed dispersion passes through the head box 2 divided in the height direction, the flow of the foamed dispersion becomes a laminar flow, so that the discontinuous fibers are oriented in the flow direction. This mixed layer is heated and pressed to obtain a -direction reinforced thermoplastic resin stampable sheet. If the height of one step in the head box 2 exceeds 1.0 times the length of the discontinuous fibers, the flow of the foamed dispersion will not be laminar, and the central portion will be oriented perpendicular to the flow direction. The effect of orienting discontinuous fibers in one direction is lost. Furthermore, if the height of one step in the head box 2 is less than 0.2 times the length of the discontinuous fibers, interference between the discontinuous fibers will increase, and the uniformity of dispersion may be impaired.
The flow path becomes clogged, making it difficult for the foamed dispersion to flow.

I11 is preferable, more preferably 6-25
It is IDI11. When the length of the discontinuous fibers exceeds 50 mm, it is difficult to obtain straightness of the fibers due to interference between the discontinuous fibers, and the effect of reinforcing mechanical strength is reduced. Furthermore, if the length of the discontinuous fibers is shorter than 3InI11, sufficient mechanical strength cannot be obtained.
