Abstract
A compression molding die includes a first mold and a second mold. The first mold includes a bottom surface member and a side surface member. A space is providable in the first mold by a step of at least one of an outer peripheral surface of the bottom surface member and an inner peripheral surface of the side surface member. The first mold includes a gas inlet capable of introducing gas into the space, a gas outlet through which the gas introduced into the space is dischargeable, and a seal member below the space.
Claims12
A compression molding die, comprising:
- a first mold;
- and
- a second mold disposed above the first mold to face the first mold, wherein:
- the first mold includes a bottom surface member and a side surface member;
- the bottom surface member includes an upper surface on which a resin material can be disposed, and an outer peripheral surface that extends downward from the upper surface;
- the side surface member includes an inner peripheral surface that surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the bottom surface member;
- a cavity of the first mold is formed by at least the upper surface of the bottom surface member and the inner peripheral surface of the side surface member;
- a space is providable in the first mold by a step in at least one of the outer peripheral surface of the bottom surface member and the inner peripheral surface of the side surface member;
- the first mold further includes a gas inlet through which gas is introducible into the space, a gas outlet through which the gas introduced into the space is dischargeable, and a seal member below the space;
- the step includes a first step in the outer peripheral surface of the bottom surface member, and a second step in the inner peripheral surface of the side surface member, the second step disposed adjacent to and separate from the first step;
- the first step includes a first outer peripheral surface that extends downward from the upper surface of the bottom surface member, a second outer peripheral surface that extends from the first outer peripheral surface to an outer side, and a third outer peripheral surface that extends downward from the second outer peripheral surface;
- and
- the space is formed by both of the first step in the outer peripheral surface of the bottom surface member and the second step in the inner peripheral surface of the side surface member.
A method for manufacturing a resin molded product, the method comprising preparing a compression molding die including:
- a first mold;
- and
- a second mold disposed above the first mold to face the first mold, wherein:
- the first mold includes a bottom surface member, a side surface member, a cavity formed by the bottom surface member and the side surface member, a space below the cavity, a gas inlet through which gas is introducible into the space, and a gas outlet through which the gas introduced into the space is dischargeable;
- the method for manufacturing a resin molded product further includes:
- installing a molding target into the second mold;
- supplying a resin material into the cavity;
- moving the first mold toward the second mold;
- manufacturing a resin molded product by resin-molding the molding target with use of the resin material;
- and
- introducing gas into the space from the gas inlet and discharging the gas from the gas outlet;
- the manufacturing the resin molded product includes moving the bottom surface member toward the second mold;
- and
- the moving the bottom surface member includes moving the bottom surface member while reducing a volume of the space.
