Injection molded resin gear and injection molded resin rotating body

An injection molded resin gear molded by injecting a resin material from a plurality of pin point gates into a cavity of a die, said injection molded resin gear comprising:

• a rim having teeth on the outer periphery thereof;
• a shaft supporting portion for receiving and supporting a shaft therein;
• a web extending in radial directions to connect said rim to said shaft supporting portion;
• and
• a plurality of resin flow velocity regulating grooves, each of which is formed in one side of said web so as to be arranged in the vicinity of a corresponding one of the plurality of pin point gates when the resin material is injected from the plurality of pin point gates into the cavity of the die, each of said resin flow velocity regulating grooves having a shape which corresponds to that of a resin flow velocity regulating protrusion of the die for restricting the radial flow of the resin material, which is injected from the corresponding one of the plurality of pin point gates, to cause the resin material to flow at a uniform velocity in radial directions between the corresponding one of the plurality of pin point gates and a portion of the cavity corresponding to said rim,
• wherein each of said resin flow velocity regulating grooves includes a first groove portion which is arranged so as to face the corresponding one of the plurality of pin point gates in radial directions when the resin material is injected from the plurality of pin point gates, and a pair of second groove portions, each of which extends from an end of the first groove portion in a circumferential direction so as to have a gradually decreasing groove depth, and
• said injected molded resin gear further comprises a first annular groove which is formed in said one side of said web outside of said plurality of resin flow velocity regulating grooves in radial directions so as to be concentric with said rim.

An injection molded resin rotating body molded by injecting a resin material from a pin point gate into a cavity of a die, said injection molded resin rotating body comprising:

• an outside cylindrical portion;
• a shaft supporting portion for receiving and supporting a shaft therein;
• a disk-shaped portion extending in radial directions to connect said outside cylindrical portion to said shaft supporting portion;
• and
• a resin flow velocity regulating groove formed in one side of said disk-shaped portion so as to be arranged in the vicinity of the pin point gate when the resin material is injected from the pin point gate into the cavity of the die, said resin flow velocity regulating groove having a shape which corresponds to that of a resin flow velocity regulating protrusion of the die for restricting the radial flow of the resin material, which is injected from the pin point gate, to cause the resin material to flow at a uniform velocity in radial directions between the pin point gate and a portion of the cavity corresponding to said outside cylindrical portion,
• wherein said resin flow velocity regulating groove includes a first groove portion which is arranged so as to face the pin point gate in radial directions when the resin material is injected from the pin point gate, and a pair of second groove portions, each of which extends from an end of the first groove portion in a circumferential direction so as to have a gradually decreasing groove depth, and
• said injected molded resin rotating body further comprises a first annular groove which is formed in said one side of said disk-shaped portion outside of said resin flow velocity regulating groove in radial directions so as to be concentric with said outside cylindrical portion.
