Problems solved by technology

[0015] However, in the production method described in Patent Document 1, polyethylene (1) containing density and MI in a specific range, density, number average molecular weight in a specific range and a molecular weight of 20,000 or more by mass % and a melt viscosity at a specific temperature There is a method of melting and extruding a mixture of polyethylene wax (2) in a specific relationship. The resin composed of the mixture is a special grade for gaskets. With the increase in raw material costs, it cannot meet the requirements for cost reduction of gaskets.
[0016] In addition, the manufacturing method of a spacer for an optical fiber described in Patent Document 2 uses a double-head mold to discharge the resin material that only improves the smoothness of the surface, and two types of resin materials are required, which increases the cost and cannot meet the requirements of the spacer. low cost requirements
[0017] In addition, the molding die and molding method described in Patent Document 3 are mainly intended to prevent the width of the groove near the bottom from being narrowed or the groove to be rounded, and to produce sharp rectangular grooves. The content of reducing the surface roughness of the groove bottom surface by the length of the parting surface of the parting surface of the groove bottom part for forming is completely different from the technical idea of ​​the present invention, which increases the groove forming parting surface in order to improve surface smoothness, and has no give inspiration
[0018] In addition, Patent Document 4 proposes a die having an inclination corresponding to the rotation direction in the discharge direction of the die exit (not a constant depth when measured from a plane perpendicular to the axis in the longitudinal direction), but the die exit surface A technology that prevents ribs from deforming or falling even when the mold exit has an inclined and thin rib in order to alleviate the slope of the velocity of the discharged resin in relation to the rotation direction of the mold. Thought, there is no description of surface smoothness at all, and it is different from the technical thought of the invention of the present application, and the content of the invention of the present application is not suggested or taught at all.

Embodiment 1

[0133] have figure 2 The plane shape shown and image 3 Opening section 10 is shown, having Figure 4 Protrusions shown, groove forming parting faces, partially constraining parting faces, Figure 5 The ribs shown form the parting face, and the dies shown in Table 1 for the groove forming dies were used to extrude a gasket with six rectangular shaped grooves.

[0134] (Manufacture of coated tensile wire and extrusion of gasket)

[0135] To the steel wire of 2.3mmφ, extrusion has MI and is that the anhydrous maleic acid-modified polyethylene (Japanese Yunika one system: GA006) and MI are the low-density direct-molded polyethylene of 1.3g / 10 minutes. Chain polyethylene (LLDPE: produced by Japan's Yunika, trade name: NUG5350), was coated with two layers to obtain a pre-coated tensile wire 3 with an outer diameter of 4.75 mm.

[0136] Next, the above-mentioned pre-coated tensile yarn 3 is continuously supplied on the production line in this state, and the length of the groove...

Embodiment 2

[0139]Using the same mold as in Example 1, while rotating the mold at 20.0 rpm, the same pre-coated steel wire 3 as in Example 1 was introduced into the above-mentioned mold at a linear speed of 10 m / min. Extrude and coat with the same resin and temperature to obtain six helical storage grooves twisted at a pitch Z of 500 mm relative to the length direction, with an outer diameter of 8.2 mm, a groove width of 1.45 mm, and a groove depth of 1.5 mm. Gaskets for optical fiber cables with generally rectangular grooves. The transit time of the partially constrained parting face at this time is 0.018 seconds. In addition, when the surface roughness was measured in the same manner as in Example 1, the maximum value of Ra was 0.85 μm at the groove bottom and 1.55 μm at the groove side, and the maximum value of Rmax was 6.35 μm at the groove bottom and 1.55 μm at the groove side. 9.65 μm, fully satisfying the performance as a spacer for optical fiber cables.

Embodiment 3

[0141] Prepare the pre-coated tensile yarn 3 in the same manner as in Example 1, and continuously rotate the mold 100 with the length of the groove-forming parting surface 22 of 6.35 mm and the length of the part-constraining parting surface 23 of 6 mm at 10.0 rpm. , introduce the pre-coated steel wire 3 into the above-mentioned mold at a linear speed of 5 m / min, perform extrusion coating in the same manner as in Example 1, and obtain six helical housings with a pitch Z twisted at a distance of 500 mm relative to the longitudinal direction. The groove has an outer diameter of 8.2 mm, a groove width of 1.45 mm, and a groove depth of 1.5 mm, and is a gasket for an optical fiber cable formed into a substantially rectangular groove. The transit time of the partially constrained parting face at this time is 0.072 seconds.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an extrusion molding die for housing an optical fiber cable gasket that holds an optical fiber core wire or an optical fiber ribbon core wire, and a method for manufacturing an optical fiber cable gasket using the extrusion molding die. More specifically, it relates to a die for extrusion molding for making the surface smoothness (Ra) of the groove bottom and groove side surfaces of the gasket good, and a method for manufacturing a gasket using the die. Background technique [0002] Optical fiber cables use optical fiber cable gaskets for protecting and supporting optical fiber core wires. A spacer for an optical fiber cable having a rectangular or U-shaped storage groove that can accommodate a plurality of ribbon cores is used for high-density thinning. For optical fiber cable gaskets, polyethylene is mainly used in consideration of mechanical properties, low-temperature impact resistance, ease of molding, and raw mat...
