Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、例えば押出ラミネート等に用いられる押出成形機のダイに溶融樹脂を供給する樹脂供給用クロスヘッドに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
押出ラミネートによるシート状物品の製造に際しては、例えば図4に示すような装置が使用される。図中符号1は押出機の加熱筒で、この加熱筒1の後端には、クロスヘッド(樹脂供給用クロスヘッド)2が連結され、かつクロスヘッド2から下方に延びるジョイント3の下端には、ダイ4が水平に延設されている。加熱筒1にて加熱溶融された樹脂は、クロスヘッド2及びジョイント3を経てダイ4に供給され、ダイ4の下端に形成されたリップ部5から、樹脂フィルム6として押し出される。
【0003】
また、符号7,8はそれぞれ冷却ロール及びゴムロールで、これらのロール7,8は、その側面同士がダイ4の下方にて接触するよう配設され、かつ図示しない駆動源により、図中矢印R1,R2方向にそれぞれ回転可能とされている。樹脂フィルム6は、これらロール7,8の回転に伴い、紙やアルミニウム製の基材9とともにロール7,8間に導入され、ロール7,8間における樹脂フィルム6の基材9への圧着により、樹脂フィルム6と基材9とを一体的に積層してなるラミネートフィルム10が製造される。
【0004】
上記クロスヘッド2の構造を図5に示す。図中符号21はクロスヘッド2の本体で、この本体21は円筒状をなし、かつその先端(図中左端)にて、加熱筒1の後端に連結されている。また、符号22は、本体21の内部に形成された空間で、この空間22の先端は本体21の先端面に開口し、溶融樹脂の入口23を形成している。この入口23は、加熱筒1内に形成された流路11に同軸をなすよう連結され、流路11内に設置されたスクリュ12の回転により、溶融樹脂が流路11から入口23を介して空間22内に流入するようになっている。
【0005】
一方、空間22の先端部は後端側に向け暫時拡径され、かつ空間22内は、本体21と同軸をなすよう配設された、溶融樹脂が通過可能な円筒状の支持筒(図示せず。)及びこの支持筒に支持されたスクリーン24により、入口23と連通する内室22aと、外室22bとに分割されている。また、符号25は、内室22aに、本体21の後端から先端側に向け、本体21と同軸をなすよう設置されたニードルバルブで、その先端は、図示のように、空間22の先端部にて、先端に向け凸なる円錐状をなしている。
【0006】
符号26は、本体21の後端部にて本体21の下方側面に形成された出口で、外室22bは、この出口26を介して、本体21の側面に連結されたジョイント3の流路31に連結されている。流路11から入口23を介して内室22a内に流入した溶融樹脂は、ニードルバルブ25の先端に沿って本体21の径方向外方に偏向され、支持筒及びスクリーン24を通過して外室22bに流入する。外室22bに流入した溶融樹脂は、更に出口26及び流路31を介して、ダイ4へと供給される。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、上記従来のクロスヘッド2では、出口26が本体21の後端部にて本体21の下方側面に形成されている。そのため、図5中矢印F1で示すように空間22の上方側を通過する溶融樹脂(以下、便宜的に樹脂Aとする。)と、図5中矢印F2で示すように空間22の下方側を通過する溶融樹脂(以下、便宜的に樹脂Bとする。)とでは、樹脂Aの方が、空間22内における滞留時間が長くなる。
【0008】
その結果、上記従来のクロスヘッド2では、出口26から流路31に流入する溶融樹脂のうち、流路31の後端部に流入する樹脂(主に樹脂Aが流入する。)と流路31の先端部に流入する樹脂(主に樹脂Bが流入する。)との間に温度差が生じてしまう。そこで、上記従来のクロスヘッド2では、この温度差を解消するため、流路31内に撹拌器を設けたり、ダイ4の温度やリップ部5の間隔を微妙に調節する等の対策を講じている。しかしながら、撹拌器の設置は装置の複雑化や樹脂パージ時におけるパージ性低下の原因となり、また、溶融樹脂の温度差に対応してダイ4の温度やリップ部5の間隔を微妙に調節することは、極めて煩雑な作業である。
【0009】
一方、上記従来のクロスヘッド2では、溶融樹脂の背圧を、ニードルバルブ25の本体21の軸方向に沿った移動に伴う入口23の開口量調節により制御している。しかしながら、背圧を上げるためにニードルバルブ25を本体21の先端側に接近させた場合には、ニードルバルブ25による溶融樹脂の本体21の径方向外方への偏向が強められ、樹脂Aと樹脂Bとの間における溶融樹脂の温度差が結果的に大きくなるという問題もある。本発明は上記事情に鑑みてなされたもので、クロスヘッドの出口からジョイントに流入する溶融樹脂の温度差の解消をその目的としている。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、径方向に沿って複数の細孔が形成されて溶融樹脂が通過可能な円筒状の支持筒及びこの支持筒に支持されたスクリーンを備える円筒状のブレーカユニットの前記スクリーンによりその内部が内外2室に分割される円筒状のクロスヘッド本体と、該クロスヘッド本体の内部に形成された空間を暫時縮径させた後拡径させて前記クロスヘッド本体を加熱筒の後端に連結するライナーと、前記ブレーカユニットの後端側に設置されて溶融樹脂の進路を下方に転換させる流路を備えるブロックと、を有する押出成形機のダイに溶融樹脂を供給する樹脂供給用クロスヘッドであって、前記ブレーカユニットの前記支持筒が前記ライナーに挿入され、前記ライナーの縮径部に形成された前記溶融樹脂の入口が前記2室のうち外室に、前記ブレーカユニットの後端に形成された前記溶融樹脂の出口が前記2室のうち内室に、それぞれ前記クロスヘッド本体と同軸をなすよう設けられて連通されているとともに、前記クロスヘッド本体が内部に流路を備えるジョイントを介して前記加熱筒の下方において該加熱筒と略同一方向かつ水平に延設されるように前記ダイを吊して支持することをその特徴としている。
【0011】
ここで、前記溶融樹脂の出口から前記ダイとの間に、前記溶融樹脂の背圧を調節する調節手段が設けられていることが望ましい。
【0013】
更に望ましくは、前記ブレーカユニットは、前記クロスヘッド本体の内室側に、円錐状をなすコーンを、前記クロスヘッド本体の先端側から後端に向け、前記クロスヘッド本体と同軸をなすよう設置する。
【0014】
一方、前記ブレーカユニットの前記支持筒の先端面にプレート状をなすスクリーンを設置し、前記溶融樹脂の入口を、このスクリーンを介して前記内室に連通させることも可能である。
本発明の樹脂供給用クロスヘッドは、押出ラミネート装置に用いられるものとすることができる。
【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図面に基づき、本発明の実施形態について更に詳しく説明する。なお、上記図4及び図5に示したものと同様の構成を有する部分については、図4及び図5と同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。
【0016】
本発明に係るクロスヘッド200の構造を図1ないし図3に示す。図中符号201はクロスヘッド200の本体で、このクロスヘッド本体201は円筒状をなし、かつその先端(図中左端)部には、クロスヘッド本体201の内部に形成された空間202を先端側に向け暫時縮径させた後拡径させるライナー203が嵌合されている。その結果、このクロスヘッド200では、ライナー203における縮径部が、クロスヘッド200における溶融樹脂の入口204となっている。
【0017】
クロスヘッド本体201は、加熱筒1の後端に、加熱筒1と同軸をなすよう連結され、かつ加熱筒1への連結に伴い、溶融樹脂の入口204が、加熱筒1内に形成された流路11に同軸をなすよう連結される。そして、流路11内に設置されたスクリュ12の回転により、溶融樹脂が流路11から溶融樹脂の入口204を介して空間202内に流入するようになっている。また、符号205は加熱筒1及びクロスヘッド本体201の周囲に環装され、加熱筒1とクロスヘッド本体201とを連結するカラーである。
【0018】
符号206は、空間202内に、後端側から同軸をなすよう挿入されたブレーカユニットで、このブレーカユニット206は、円筒状をなし、かつその先端部には、空間202より若干小径とされた支持筒207が形成され、空間202は、この支持筒207により、内室202aと、溶融樹脂の入口204と連通する外室202bとに分割されている。また、この支持筒207には、径方向に沿って複数の細孔が形成され、この細孔を介して、溶融樹脂が支持筒207を通過可能となっている。更に、支持筒207の表面には、溶融樹脂が通過可能なスクリーン208が支持されている。
【0019】
符号209は、ブレーカユニット206の先端に形成されたコーン先端部で、このコーン先端部209は、先端に向け凸なる円錐状をなし、かつコーン先端部209の先端は、ライナー203内に、所定幅の隙間Sを介して同軸をなすよう挿入されている。また、符号210は、コーン先端部209の後端面から、内室202aに、クロスヘッド本体201の後端に向け、クロスヘッド本体201と同軸をなすよう設置されたコーン後端部(コーン)で、このコーン後端部210は、クロスヘッド本体201の他端に向け暫時縮径する円筒状をなし、かつその先端は、内室202aの後端部にて、後端に向け凸なる円錐状をなしている。
【0020】
一方、ブレーカユニット206の後端部は拡径されて空間202を閉鎖し、かつ、ブレーカユニット206の後端中央部には、内室202aと連通する溶融樹脂の出口211が、クロスヘッド本体201と同軸をなすよう設けられている。また、符号212は、ブレーカユニット206の後端側に設置されたブロックで、溶融樹脂の出口211は、このブロック212及びクロスヘッド本体201の下方側面に形成された流路213,214を介して、クロスヘッド本体201の側面に連結されたジョイント300の流路301に連通されている。
【0021】
更に、符号215は、ブレーカユニット206及びブロック212をクロスヘッド本体201内の所定位置に支持する押え板、符号216は、ジョイント300の周囲に環装され、クロスヘッド本体201とジョイント300とを連結するカラーである。
【0022】
また、図2に示すように、ジョイント300には、溶融樹脂の出口211から流路301に流入した溶融樹脂の背圧を調節する調節手段302が設けられている。この調節手段は、ジョイント300内に、流路301の側面に下向きに開口するよう傾斜して設けられた凹部303と、この凹部303内に、その傾斜方向に沿って摺動自在に設けられ、かつ流路301に臨む面が、流路301の側面と平行とされたスリットプレート304と、スリットプレート304の底面からスリットプレート304の傾斜方向と平行に延び、更にジョイント300の側面から外方に突出するシャフト305とから概略構成されている。
【0023】
シャフト305を回転させると、スリットプレート304が凹部303の傾斜方向に沿って図中矢印Mで示すように摺動する。すなわち、この調節手段302では、シャフト305を回転させて流路301の側面からのスリットプレート304の突出量を調節して流路301の幅を変えることにより、溶融樹脂の局部発熱を発生させることなく、流路301に流入した溶融樹脂のダイへの背圧を調節している。
【0024】
更に、このジョイント300では、図中符号Pで示すように、凹部303の下端側の側面が流路301の側面と同一面となるよう流路301を屈曲させている。これは、スリットプレート304を流路301の側面から突出させた際におけるスリットプレート304の下面と流路301の側面による鋭角部の形成と、この鋭角部における樹脂の滞留を防止するためである。
【0025】
また、符号306は、凹部303へのシャフト305の挿入量(すなわち流路301の側面からのスリットプレート304の突出量)を示す目盛板、符号307は、シャフト305に固定され、シャフト305の挿入量を目盛板306上に指す指示器である。一方、符号308は、ダイ(図示せず。)固定用のプレートである。
【0026】
流路11から溶融樹脂の入口204を介して空間202内に流入した溶融樹脂は、コーン先端部209によりクロスヘッド本体201の径方向外方に偏向されて外室202bに至り、更にスクリーン208及び支持筒207を通過して内室202aに流入する。内室202aに流入した溶融樹脂は、コーン後端部210に沿って後端側へと移動し、溶融樹脂の出口211及び流路213,214,301を介して、ダイへと供給される。
【0027】
特に、このクロスヘッド200の場合、円筒状をなすクロスヘッド本体201の前部及び後部に、前記溶融樹脂の入口204と前記溶融樹脂の出口211とが、それぞれクロスヘッド本体201と同軸をなすよう設けられ、かつブレーカユニット206もクロスヘッド本体201と同軸をなすよう設けられている。そのため、例えば図中矢印F3,F4で示すように、空間202のどの側を通過する溶融樹脂でも、空間202内における滞留時間がほぼ一定となる。従って、溶融樹脂の出口211から流路213に流入する溶融樹脂の温度が均一化され、その結果、ジョイント内に撹拌器を設けたり、ダイの温度やリップ部の間隔を微妙に調節する等の対策が必要であった上記従来のクロスヘッド2に比して、樹脂パージ時におけるパージ性及び溶融樹脂の温度調節における作業性が向上する。
【0028】
また、溶融樹脂の背圧を調節する機構を、調節手段302のような構成としたため、従来ニードルバルブによる背圧調整により発生していた樹脂の局部発熱がなく、溶融樹脂の温度ムラが生じにくい。更に、溶融樹脂が、内室202aに、クロスヘッド本体201と同軸をなすよう設置された先細り形状のコーン後端部210に沿って均一に溶融樹脂の出口211へと導入されるため、溶融樹脂の出口211における溶融樹脂の滞留ムラが生じにくくなり、樹脂の劣化(炭化)が少なくなるという効果がある。
【0029】
なお、上記のクロスヘッド200では、円錐状のコーン先端部209を用いたが、このコーン先端部209に換え、図3に示すような、支持筒207の先端面に細孔217を設け、その細孔217を、溶融樹脂が通過可能なスクリーン218で先端側から覆ったものを、ブレーカユニットとして用いてもよい。この場合には、支持筒207の側面のみならず、この細孔217からも、内室202aへと溶融樹脂が流入する。
【0030】
【発明の効果】
以上説明した通り、本発明の樹脂供給用クロスヘッドは、径方向に沿って複数の細孔が形成されて溶融樹脂が通過可能な円筒状の支持筒及びこの支持筒に支持されたスクリーンを備える円筒状のブレーカユニットの前記スクリーンによりその内部が内外2室に分割される円筒状のクロスヘッド本体と、該クロスヘッド本体の内部に形成された空間を暫時縮径させた後拡径させて前記クロスヘッド本体を加熱筒の後端に連結するライナーと、前記ブレーカユニットの後端側に設置されて溶融樹脂の進路を下方に転換させる流路を備えるブロックと、を有する押出成形機のダイに溶融樹脂を供給する樹脂供給用クロスヘッドであって、前記ブレーカユニットの前記支持筒が前記ライナーに挿入され、前記ライナーの縮径部に形成された前記溶融樹脂の入口が前記2室のうち外室に、前記ブレーカユニットの後端に形成された前記溶融樹脂の出口が前記2室のうち内室に、それぞれ前記クロスヘッド本体と同軸をなすよう設けられて連通されているとともに、前記クロスヘッド本体が内部に流路を備えるジョイントを介して前記加熱筒の下方において該加熱筒と略同一方向かつ水平に延設されるように前記ダイを吊して支持することを特徴としている。そのため、クロスヘッド本体内を通過する溶融樹脂の間で、クロスヘッド本体内における滞留時間の差がなく、溶融樹脂の出口からダイに供給される溶融樹脂の温度が均一化される。従って、ジョイント内に撹拌器を設けたり、ダイの温度やリップ部の間隔を微妙に調節する等の対策が必要であった上記従来のクロスヘッドに比して、樹脂パージ時におけるパージ性及び溶融樹脂の温度調節における作業性が向上する。
【0031】
また、溶融樹脂の背圧を調節する調節手段を溶融樹脂の出口とダイとの間に設けた場合には、溶融樹脂の背圧調節時における溶融樹脂の局部発熱が防止される。
【0032】
更に、ブレーカユニットは、クロスヘッド本体の内室に、円錐状をなすコーンが、クロスヘッド本体の先端側から後端に向け、前記クロスヘッド本体と同軸をなすよう設置されている場合には、溶融樹脂がコーンに沿って均一に溶融樹脂の出口へと導入されるため、溶融樹脂の出口における溶融樹脂の滞留ムラが生じにくくなり、樹脂の劣化(炭化)が少なくなる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a resin-supplied crosshead for supplying a molten resin to a die of an extruder used for, for example, extrusion lamination.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When manufacturing a sheet-like article by extrusion lamination, for example, an apparatus as shown in FIG. 4 is used. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a heating cylinder of an extruder. A crosshead (resin supply crosshead) 2 is connected to the rear end of the heating cylinder 1 and the lower end of a joint 3 extending downward from the crosshead 2 is connected to the lower end of the joint 3. The die 4 extends horizontally. The resin heated and melted in the heating cylinder 1 is supplied to the die 4 through the crosshead 2 and the joint 3 and is extruded as a resin film 6 from the lip portion 5 formed at the lower end of the die 4.
[0003]
Reference numerals 7 and 8 denote a cooling roll and a rubber roll, respectively. These rolls 7 and 8 are arranged so that the side surfaces thereof are in contact with each other below the die 4 and are driven by an arrow R in the figure by a driving source (not shown). 1 and R 2 directions can be rotated respectively. As the rolls 7 and 8 rotate, the resin film 6 is introduced between the rolls 7 and 8 together with the base material 9 made of paper or aluminum, and the resin film 6 is pressed onto the base material 9 between the rolls 7 and 8. Then, a laminate film 10 formed by integrally laminating the resin film 6 and the substrate 9 is manufactured.
[0004]
The structure of the crosshead 2 is shown in FIG. Reference numeral 21 in the figure denotes a main body of the crosshead 2, and the main body 21 has a cylindrical shape and is connected to the rear end of the heating cylinder 1 at the front end (left end in the figure). Reference numeral 22 denotes a space formed inside the main body 21, and the front end of the space 22 opens at the front end surface of the main body 21 to form an inlet 23 for molten resin. This inlet 23 is connected so as to be coaxial with the flow path 11 formed in the heating cylinder 1, and the molten resin is passed from the flow path 11 through the inlet 23 by the rotation of the screw 12 installed in the flow path 11. It flows into the space 22.
[0005]
On the other hand, the front end portion of the space 22 is gradually enlarged toward the rear end side, and the inside of the space 22 is disposed so as to be coaxial with the main body 21 and is a cylindrical support tube (not shown) through which molten resin can pass. And the screen 24 supported by the support cylinder is divided into an inner chamber 22a communicating with the inlet 23 and an outer chamber 22b. Reference numeral 25 denotes a needle valve installed in the inner chamber 22a from the rear end to the front end side of the main body 21 so as to be coaxial with the main body 21, and the front end thereof is a front end portion of the space 22 as shown in the figure. In, it has a conical shape convex toward the tip.
[0006]
Reference numeral 26 denotes an outlet formed on the lower side surface of the main body 21 at the rear end portion of the main body 21, and the outer chamber 22 b is a flow path 31 of the joint 3 connected to the side surface of the main body 21 through the outlet 26. It is connected to. The molten resin that has flowed into the inner chamber 22 a from the flow path 11 through the inlet 23 is deflected radially outward of the main body 21 along the tip of the needle valve 25, passes through the support cylinder and the screen 24, and passes through the outer chamber. It flows into 22b. The molten resin flowing into the outer chamber 22 b is further supplied to the die 4 through the outlet 26 and the flow path 31.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Incidentally, in the conventional crosshead 2, the outlet 26 is formed on the lower side surface of the main body 21 at the rear end portion of the main body 21. Therefore, the molten resin (hereinafter, conveniently referred to as Resin A.) Which passes over the side of the space 22 as shown in Figure 5 in the arrow F 1 and the lower space 22, as shown in Figure 5 in an arrow F 2 With a molten resin passing through the side (hereinafter referred to as resin B for convenience), the resin A has a longer residence time in the space 22.
[0008]
As a result, in the conventional crosshead 2, out of the molten resin that flows into the flow path 31 from the outlet 26, the resin that flows into the rear end portion of the flow path 31 (mainly the resin A flows in) and the flow path 31. Temperature difference occurs between the resin flowing into the tip of the resin (mainly resin B flows in). Therefore, in order to eliminate this temperature difference, the conventional crosshead 2 takes measures such as providing a stirrer in the flow path 31 and finely adjusting the temperature of the die 4 and the interval between the lip portions 5. Yes. However, the installation of the stirrer causes the complexity of the apparatus and the purgeability at the time of the resin purge, and the temperature of the die 4 and the interval between the lip portions 5 are finely adjusted according to the temperature difference of the molten resin. Is an extremely complicated task.
[0009]
On the other hand, in the conventional crosshead 2, the back pressure of the molten resin is controlled by adjusting the opening amount of the inlet 23 accompanying the movement of the needle valve 25 along the axial direction of the main body 21. However, when the needle valve 25 is moved closer to the distal end side of the main body 21 in order to increase the back pressure, the deflection of the molten resin in the radial direction of the main body 21 by the needle valve 25 is strengthened, and the resin A and the resin There is also a problem that the temperature difference between the molten resin and B increases as a result. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to eliminate the temperature difference of the molten resin flowing into the joint from the outlet of the crosshead.

[0022]
As shown in FIG. 2, the joint 300 is provided with an adjusting unit 302 that adjusts the back pressure of the molten resin flowing into the flow path 301 from the molten resin outlet 211. The adjusting means is provided in the joint 300 with a recess 303 provided so as to open downward on the side surface of the flow path 301, and in the recess 303 so as to be slidable along the inclination direction. The surface facing the flow path 301 is a slit plate 304 that is parallel to the side surface of the flow path 301, extends from the bottom surface of the slit plate 304 in parallel with the inclination direction of the slit plate 304, and further outwards from the side surface of the joint 300. It is roughly composed of a projecting shaft 305.
[0023]
When the shaft 305 is rotated, the slit plate 304 slides as indicated by an arrow M in the drawing along the inclination direction of the recess 303. That is, in the adjusting means 302, the shaft 305 is rotated to adjust the amount of protrusion of the slit plate 304 from the side surface of the flow path 301 to change the width of the flow path 301, thereby generating local heat generation of the molten resin. Instead, the back pressure of the molten resin flowing into the flow path 301 to the die is adjusted.

On the other hand, reference numeral 308 denotes a plate for fixing a die (not shown).
[0026]
The molten resin that has flowed into the space 202 from the flow path 11 through the molten resin inlet 204 is deflected radially outward of the crosshead main body 201 by the cone tip 209 to reach the outer chamber 202b. It passes through the support cylinder 207 and flows into the inner chamber 202a. The molten resin flowing into the inner chamber 202a moves toward the rear end side along the cone rear end portion 210, and is supplied to the die via the molten resin outlet 211 and the flow paths 213, 214, and 301.
[0027]
In particular, this case of the crosshead 200, the front and rear of the crosshead body 201 having a cylindrical shape, wherein a molten resin inlet 204 and the outlet 211 of the molten resin, so as to form a cross-head body 201 coaxially respectively The breaker unit 206 is also provided so as to be coaxial with the crosshead body 201. Therefore, for example, as indicated by arrows F 3 and F 4 in the figure, the residence time in the space 202 is almost constant regardless of the molten resin passing through any side of the space 202. Accordingly, the temperature of the molten resin flowing into the flow path 213 from the molten resin outlet 211 is made uniform. As a result, a stirrer is provided in the joint, the die temperature and the gap between the lip portions are finely adjusted, etc. Compared with the conventional crosshead 2 that requires countermeasures, the purging property during resin purging and the workability in adjusting the temperature of the molten resin are improved.
[0028]
In addition, since the mechanism for adjusting the back pressure of the molten resin is configured as the adjusting means 302, there is no local heat generation of the resin that has conventionally occurred due to the back pressure adjustment by the needle valve, and the temperature unevenness of the molten resin hardly occurs. . Furthermore, since the molten resin is uniformly introduced into the molten resin outlet 211 along the tapered cone rear end portion 210 installed in the inner chamber 202a so as to be coaxial with the crosshead body 201, the molten resin As a result, the molten resin stays uneven at the outlet 211, and the deterioration (carbonization) of the resin is reduced.
[0029]
In the cross head 200 described above, the cone-shaped cone tip 209 is used, but instead of the cone tip 209, a hole 217 is provided on the tip of the support cylinder 207 as shown in FIG. What covered the pore 217 from the front end side with the screen 218 which a molten resin can pass may be used as a breaker unit. In this case, the molten resin flows not only from the side surface of the support cylinder 207 but also from the pores 217 into the inner chamber 202a.
[0030]

It is characterized by doing. Therefore, there is no difference in residence time in the crosshead body between the molten resins passing through the crosshead body, and the temperature of the molten resin supplied to the die from the outlet of the molten resin is made uniform. Therefore, compared to the conventional crosshead, which requires measures such as providing a stirrer in the joint and finely adjusting the die temperature and the lip spacing, the purgeability and melting during resin purging Workability in adjusting the temperature of the resin is improved.
[0031]
Further, when the adjusting means for adjusting the back pressure of the molten resin is provided between the outlet of the molten resin and the die, local heat generation of the molten resin at the time of adjusting the back pressure of the molten resin is prevented.
[0032]
Furthermore, when the breaker unit is installed on the inner chamber side of the crosshead main body so that the conical cone is coaxial with the crosshead main body from the front end side to the rear end of the crosshead main body. Since the molten resin is uniformly introduced into the outlet of the molten resin along the cone, unevenness of the molten resin at the outlet of the molten resin is less likely to occur, and deterioration (carbonization) of the resin is reduced.
