## Background
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to injection moldings, and more particularly, to injection moldings, an injection-molding apparatus and a method thereof, in which a pattern of a micrometer or nanometer size can be simply formed on a surface of injection moldings so as to have a super-hydrophobic characteristic and an optical characteristic, and a micrometer or nanometer sized pattern of a complex structure can be implemented.
BACKGROUND ART
Generally, a refrigerating cycle device is provided at a refrigerator, an conditioner, etc. The refrigerating cycle device includes a condenser and an evaporator. The condenser performs heat exchange with peripheral air by emitting heat outwardly, and the evaporator performs heat exchange with peripheral air by absorbing external heat. The condenser and the evaporator are called as a heat exchanger.
As the heat exchanger for an evaporator absorbs external heat, moisture is condensed on a surface of the heat exchanger for an evaporator thereby to form droplets. As the droplets are frozen, frost is generated. The frost lowers an efficiency of the heat exchanger, thereby being periodically removed by a defrosting device.
In order to enhance an efficiency of the heat exchanger, the heat exchanger is processed so as to have a super-hydrophobic characteristic thereon. Since the surface of the heat exchanger having a super-hydrophobic characteristic has a structure of a micrometer or nanometer size, a surface friction due to a fluid is decreased and thereby droplets are effectively removed.
A method for processing a surface of a heat exchanger includes a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), a plasma polymerization, polypropylene, a nano-structured carbon film, etc.
The above methods serve to change a shape of a surface of the heat exchanger through complicated chemical processes, or serve to implement a surface of the heat exchanger having a hydrophobic characteristic by changing a surface energy of a material. The above methods require expensive processes or long processing time, thereby having a difficulty in being utilized for a massive production.
Injection moldings formed of a plastic material or a product formed of a plastic material is provided with a micrometer or nanometer sized pattern thereon so as to have a super-hydrophobic characteristic or an optical characteristic. In order to form a micrometer or nanometer sized pattern on a surface of a product or injection moldings formed of a plastic material, the plastic moldings have to undergo an injection-molding process. Then, the plastic moldings undergo a post-processing such as a printing process, a stamping process or a surface machining process.
However, the post-processing requires a high cost. A hot-stamping process is widely used to form a micrometer or nanometer sized pattern. However, the hot-stamping process can be applied to form a simple pattern, but can not be applied to form a complicated pattern having a hydrophobic characteristic, etc.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Here, the inner surface of the receiving space 121 is the closest to the cavity C1. As the cooling plate 410 contacts an inner surface of the receiving space 121, cool air generated from the cooling plate 410 cools the cavity C1 via the body portion 122 of the body member 120 of the cavity mold 100. However, when the cooling operation for the cavity mold 100 is stopped, the cooling plate 410 is moved by the driving unit 420 thereby to be separated from the inner surface of the receiving space 121.

Preferably, the core mold 200 is mounted at a mover 20 of the injection molding machine (M). As the mover 20 is operated, the core mold 200 is moved, and thereby the cavity mold 100 and the core mold 200 are joined to each other or separated from each other.
The patterning stamp 500 may not be mounted on the inner surface of the cavity C1 of the cavity mold 100, but may be mounted on the core surface C2 of the core mold 200.

As shown, the injection-molding apparatus comprises a cavity mold 100 having a cavity C1; a core mold 200 having a core surface to form a molding space C together with the cavity C1 when being joined to the cavity mold 100; a heating unit 300 for heating the cavity mold 100 or the core mold 200; a cooling unit 400 for cooling the cavity mold 100 or the core mold 200; and a pattern 520′ having a micrometer or nanometer sized structure directly formed on an inner surface of the molding space C.

The pattern 520′ may be formed on the core surface C2 of the core mold 200, not on the inner surface of the cavity C1 of the cavity mold 100.
The pattern 520′ may be respectively formed on the core surface C2 of the core mold 200 and on the inner surface of the cavity C1 of the cavity mold 100.
The injection-molding apparatus was explained based on the first and second embodiments of the present invention. However, various techniques may be implemented.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an injection-molding method according to the present invention.
As shown, the injection-molding method comprises: heating the cavity mold 100 into a preset temperature; and engaging the cavity mold 100 with the core mold 200 when the cavity mold 100 is heated to the preset temperature.
Preferably, the cavity mold 100 is heated at a temperature of 120° C. which is less than a melting temperature for injection moldings.
Once the temperature of the cavity mold 100 is risen, a melted molding material such as resin has an enhanced flow/transfer characteristic, and has a low viscosity. Accordingly, the melted molding material is smoothly sucked into the pattern of the patterning stamp 500, thereby being directly patterned on a surface of the injection moldings.
Then, a step for injecting the melted molding material into a molding space formed by the cavity C1 of the cavity mold 100 and the core surface C2 of the core mold 200 is performed. Then, a step for cooling the cavity mold 100 and the core mold 200 after the melted molding material is injected into the molding space is performed.
Then the cavity mold 100 and the core mold 200 are separated from each other, thereby obtaining injection moldings disposed at the molding space C.
The temperature of the melted molding material can be risen by heating only the cavity mold 100 or only the core mold 200.
Hereinafter, an operation of the injection-molding apparatus will be explained.
According to the injection-molding apparatus according to the first embodiment, when power is supplied to the wire of the heating unit 300 under a state that the cavity mold 100 mounted at the fixing unit 10 of the injection molding machine (M) is spaced from the core mold 200 mounted at the mover 20 of the injection molding machine (M) with a certain distance, heat is generated from the electro-thermal wire thereby to heat the cavity mold 100.
Since the heating unit 300 is disposed at a periphery of the cavity C1, the cavity C1 is heated more rapidly than other parts. Herein, the cavity mold 100 does not come in contact with the cooling unit 400.
When the cavity C1 of the cavity mold 100 is heated into a preset temperature, the cavity mold 100 and the core mold 200 are joined to each other as the core mold 200 is moved by the mover 20 of the injection molding machine (M) as shown in FIG. 6. When the cavity mold 100 is heated into the preset temperature, the power supplied to the heating unit 300 is stopped.
When a melted molding material is injected into the injecting pipe 130 of the cavity mold 100, the melted molding material is introduced into the molding space C through the injecting pipe 130 thereby to fill the molding space C. Since the mold and the molding space have a high inner temperature, the melted molding material has an enhanced flow/transfer characteristic and a low viscosity. As a result, the melted molding material is rapidly filled in the molding space, and is sufficiently introduced into the pattern 520 formed on the patterning stamp 500.
While the melted molding material is injected into the molding space C, the driving unit 420 is operated thereby to contact the cooling plate 410 to the inner surface of the receiving space 121. As the cooling plate 410 contacts the inner surface of the receiving space 121, the cavity mold 100 is cooled thereby to harden the melted molding material filled in the molding space C.
As shown in FIG. 7, the cavity mold 100 and the core mold 200 are separated from each other by moving the core mold 200, thereby obtaining the injection moldings formed in the molding space C. While the cavity mold 100 and the core mold 200 are separated from each other, the cavity mold 100 is heated to a preset temperature.
The above process is repeated, thereby fabricating injection moldings.
When the pattern 520 of the patterning stamp 500 is damaged, the pattern 520 is replaced by a new patterning stamp 500. When another pattern is to be formed on a surface of the injection moldings, the patterning stamp 500 is replaced by a new one. Since the patterning stamp 500 can be replaced by a new one, various patterns can be formed on the surface of the injection moldings. Also, when the pattern 520 of the patterning stamp 500 is damaged, the patterning stamp 500 can be easily replaced by a new one.
The melted molding material has an enhanced flow/transfer characteristic and has a low viscosity by heating the cavity mold 100, thereby forming a micrometer or nanometer sized pattern on a surface of the injection moldings.
The pattern formed on the partial or entire surface of the injection moldings has a micrometer or nanometer size. The surface of the injection moldings on which the pattern is formed has an optical characteristic of rainbow colors of a hologram, a super-hydrophobic characteristic, a stainless hair line finishing characteristic, etc.
The injection moldings may be formed of synthetic resin-based materials, or may be formed of various materials such as aluminum.
An operation of the injection-molding apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be explained.
The operation of the injection-molding apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as the operation of the injection-molding apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The pattern is formed on the surface of the injection moldings obtained in the molding space by a pattern formed on the inner surface of the cavity C1 of the cavity mold 100, or a pattern formed on the core surface C2 of the core mold 200.
The pattern formed on the surface of the injection moldings has a micrometer or nanometer size. The surface of the injection moldings on which the pattern is formed has an optical characteristic of rainbow colors of a hologram, a super-hydrophobic characteristic, a stainless hair line finishing characteristic, etc. In order for the pattern formed on the surface of the injection moldings to have a hydrophobic characteristic, a contact angle between the pattern and water has to be more than 90°. In order for the pattern formed on the surface of the injection moldings to have a super-hydrophobic characteristic, a contact angle between the pattern and water has to be more than 150°.
When a pattern formed on the cavity mold 100 or the core mold 200 is damaged, the cavity mold 100 or the core mold 200 is replaced by a new one.
In order for a pattern formed on a surface of the injection moldings fabricated according to the first embodiment or the second embodiment to have an optical characteristic of rainbow colors of a hologram, the injection moldings are preferably formed of a polycarbonate-based plastic material. When the injection moldings are formed of a polycarbonate-based plastic material, a hologram effect can be maximized.
In order for the pattern formed on the surface of the injection moldings to have a super-hydrophobic characteristic, an ABS-based resin is preferably used.
In the present invention, a micrometer or nanometer sized pattern is formed on an inner surface of the molding space of the cavity mold 100 or the core mold 200, and the patterning stamp 500 having the pattern is provided on the inner surface of the molding space. Also, a melted molding material injected into the molding space of the cavity mold 100 or the core mold 20 has an enhanced flow/transfer characteristic and has a low viscosity.
Accordingly, a micrometer or nanometer sized pattern is formed on the surface of the injection moldings formed at the molding space of the cavity mold 100 or the core mold 200. The surface of the injection moldings having the pattern thereon has an optical characteristic, a super-hydrophobic characteristic, etc.
The pattern of the injection moldings can be applied to a product for prevention of a counterfeit.
The pattern has a size enough to form a hologram. The injection moldings having a hologram may be a product that constitutes an appearance of a refrigerator, or the injection moldings may be attached onto an outer surface of a refrigerator. When the pattern that represents a hologram is provided at a door or a body of a refrigerator, the refrigerator can have an enhanced appearance.
The pattern has a size enough to implement a super-hydrophobic characteristic, and the injection moldings having a super-hydrophobic characteristic may be a product inside a refrigerator. When the injection moldings having a super-hydrophobic characteristic is applied to a heat exchanger for a condenser or a heat exchanger for an evaporator of a refrigerator, the heat exchanger for a condenser or the heat exchanger for an evaporator has an enhanced heat exchange efficiency.
Furthermore, since the melted molding material has an enhanced flow/transfer characteristic and has a low viscosity, the melted molding material is rapidly filled in the molding space of the cavity mold or the core mold. Also, since the filled molding material is directly cooled, a time for forming the injection moldings having a pattern thereon is shortened.
The present invention has the following effects.
A micrometer or nanometer sized pattern is formed on an inner surface of the molding space of the cavity mold and the core mold, or the patterning stamp having a micrometer or nanometer sized pattern is provided on an inner surface of the molding space of the cavity mold and the core mold. A melted molding material injected into the molding space of the cavity mold and the core mold has an enhanced flow/transfer characteristic, and has a low viscosity.
Accordingly, a micrometer or nanometer sized pattern is formed on a surface of injection moldings formed at the molding space of the cavity mold and the core mold. The injection moldings have a super-hydrophobic characteristic and an optical characteristic thereon.
Furthermore, since the melted molding material injected into the molding space of the cavity mold and the core mold has an enhanced flow/transfer characteristic and has a low viscosity, the melted molding material is rapidly filled in the molding space of the cavity mold and the core mold. Also, since the filled molding material is directly cooled, a time for forming the injection moldings having a pattern thereon is shortened thereby to enhance a productivity.
Since the injection moldings have an optical characteristic or a super-hydrophobic characteristic thereon, if the injection moldings are implemented as fins of a heat exchanger, the heat exchanger has a super-hydrophobic characteristic. Accordingly, water drops formed on the heat exchanger are directly discharged out, thereby maximizing a heat transferring efficiency of the heat exchanger.
When the injection moldings are implemented as a door for a refrigerator, a pattern having an optical characteristic of rainbow colors of a hologram can be provided on a surface of the door for a refrigerator. Accordingly, the door for a refrigerator has an enhanced appearance, so that a user can have mysterious feeling and an enhanced satisfaction degree.
When the injection moldings are implemented as an outer case for home electric appliances such as an air conditioner and a washing machine, a pattern having an optical characteristic of rainbow colors of a hologram can be provided on a partial surface or an entire surface of the outer case. As a result, the home electric appliances can have an enhanced appearance.
It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
