Abstract

PURPOSE:To restrain warp, deformation, and decomposition of a molded piece due to temperature change of a mold and minimize time of molding cycle by controlling a cooling time to be longer according to rise of the temperature of the mold. CONSTITUTION:A signal of a thermistor temperature sensor 1 embedded near a cavity of a mold is inputted to an amplifier 2, converted into a current signal, and inputted to a computing device 3. The computing device 3 has, for example, an A/D converter and a digital computing means, where an analog signal from the amplifier 2 is converted into a digital signal. The digital signal is compared with a digital value equivalent to a reference set temperature value. The difference is multiplied by a function so as to calculate a cooling time. The calculated cooling time is outputted. On the other hand, a counter 4 is started by a dwelling completion signal, and its output is inputted to a comparator 5. Outputs of the counter 4 and the computing device 3 are compared. When they coincide, the output signal of the comparator 5 changes from low to high so as to output a mold opening signal. The mold opening signal is transmitted to a mold driving section.

2. Description of the Related Art An injection molding machine is usually provided with a control device for controlling a series of injection cycles and resin temperatures. FIG. 3 shows an example of an injection cycle. First, the mold is clamped by a start command, and then the resin that has been heated to a predetermined temperature and melted is injected into the cavity of the mold. The mold is opened after being pressed and further cooled for a predetermined time. The holding pressure and the cooling time are preset by a holding pressure timer and a cooling timer, respectively, and are controlled to move to the next step after the setup. The mold is heated by a heater, and the temperature is usually controlled to 100 ° C. or lower depending on the type of resin to be injected. That is, a mold temperature signal from a temperature sensor such as a thermistor is introduced to a temperature controller provided in the control panel,
Then, the set temperature is compared and the current of the heater attached to the mold is controlled so that they match.

The normal molding cycle is
For economic reasons, we are thinking about setting it as short as possible, and that is actually done. The cooling time is a very important condition in the molding cycle and is determined based on the heat distortion temperature of the resin. Of course, that there is a difference by a force also added to say that heat distortion temperature, but if an ordinary molded product, the force of 4kg / cm 2 ~16kg / cm 2 is applied when the molded article knock-out (taken out of the mold) Things are a condition. That is the force applied to the molded product when the mold is released from the mold. Therefore, the setting of the mold temperature is required to be below the heat deformation temperature. Completion of the cooling operation in the molding cycle means that when the temperature of the molded product in the mold is in equilibrium with the mold temperature, that is, the injected high-temperature melt resin is heat-exchanged by the mold to shape it. When it is complete.

This heat exchange time (1/1 in actual work)
(00 seconds unit) is determined by the mold temperature. That is, the mold temperature is a function of cooling the molded product. At the time of this work, the mold temperature cannot be accurately controlled due to external conditions and conditions such as the mold structure. That is, even if the mold temperature is controlled as described above, it is impossible to keep the mold temperature strictly constant. However, the cooling time is generally fixed by a timer setting. For this reason,
Occasionally, the product is knocked out of the mold before it reaches the temperature below the heat distortion temperature. In this case, the molded product is surely deformed. When the mold temperature changes in this way, warpage or deformation of the molded product occurs, and it is the first object of the present invention to prevent this. Moreover, the molding cycle is shortened as much as possible to improve the productivity.

FIG. 2 is a graph showing the relationship between the mold temperature and the cooling time in order to prevent warping or deformation of the molded product when an injection molding of a small part is performed using polyacetal (POM) resin. It is a plot.
In this example, the mold temperature is controlled to 80 ° C, but the mold temperature is 78 ° C to 82 ° C depending on the number of molding shots and the like.
It changed in the range of degree. In such a state, if molding is performed with a constant cooling time as in the conventional case, a defective molded product may be slightly observed, but as a result of controlling the cooling time in the relationship as shown in FIG. There was no deformation. It should be noted that the optimum cooling time range was found to be relatively narrow because the physical properties are affected even if the cooling time is too long. Therefore, when the mold temperature is lowered, the cooling time is shortened accordingly.
This shortens the molding cycle time and improves productivity.
