Abstract

There are provided a method for manufacturing a core product, a method for removing a residual resin, and device for removing a residual resin including: supplying a molten resin; placing a conveying jig on a collection unit by conveying the conveying jig from a resin supply device to the collection unit together with a core body; splitting the resin solidified in a resin forming region from the resin solidified inside a resin flow path by removing the core body from the conveying jig; forming the residual resin which is a residue of the solidified resin inside the resin flow path and acquiring the core product including the core body and solidified resin formed in the resin forming region; and dropping the residual resin from the resin flow path into the collection unit by causing an extrusion unit to abut against the residual resin from above.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for manufacturing a core product, the method comprising:
supplying a molten resin to a resin forming region through a resin flow path by a resin supply device, in a state where a core body is placed on a conveying jig such that the resin forming region provided in the core body communicatably connects with the resin flow path of the conveying jig;
placing the conveying jig on a collection unit by conveying the conveying jig from the resin supply device to the collection unit together with the core body, after the supplying of the molten resin;
splitting the resin solidified in the resin forming region from the resin solidified inside the resin flow path by removing the core body from the conveying jig, after the placing of the conveying jig in the collection unit;
forming a residual resin which is a residue of the solidified resin inside the resin flow path and acquiring the core product including the core body and solidified resin formed in the resin forming region, by the splitting; and
dropping the residual resin from the resin flow path into the collection unit by causing an extrusion unit to abut against the residual resin from above, after the forming of the residual resin.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the dropping of the residual resin includes moving at least one of the collection unit and the extrusion unit along a vertical direction, such that the collection unit and the extrusion unit, which are disposed to overlap with each other in the vertical direction, get close to each other.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the dropping of the residual resin includes dropping the residual resin from the resin flow path into the collection unit, by raising the collection unit toward the extrusion unit to a raised position where the collection unit abuts against the extrusion unit.
