Title:
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING IMPELLER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/147231
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention prevents internal cracks occurring when an impeller molded using a fiber reinforced resin is manufactured by injection molding. This method for manufacturing an impeller is provided with: an injection step of filling a cavity with a molten resin containing reinforced fibers, from a gate side into which the molten resin flows, toward an opposite-gate side opposite to the gate side; and a dwell step of applying required pressure to the filled molten resin. In the injection step and the dwell step, directional cooling is performed with a temperature gradient such that the temperature becomes lower from the gate side toward the opposite-gate side. According to this method for manufacturing an impeller, the opposite-gate side shrinks with a decrease in the temperature of the molten resin since the temperature of the opposite-gate side is lower. Meanwhile, because the temperature on the gate side is increased, the molten resin can be replenished from the gate side so as to correspond to the amount of shrinkage on the opposite-gate side, and therefore the occurrence of internal tensile residual stress and cracks due to the shrinkage can be prevented.
