Abstract

1. A plasticizing device includes a barrel including a resin material supply port portion and a fiber supply port portion which is formed on a distal side from the resin material supply port portion; and a screw that comprises a shaft body and a flight, and is received in the barrel. The barrel is disposed with a posture in which its axial line intersects a gravitational direction. A maximum length of an opening in the barrel of the fiber supply port portion along an axial direction of the barrel is 1 time or more and 2 times or less as much as a pitch of the flight disposed in a portion of the screw which faces the opening in the barrel of the fiber supply port portion in a direction perpendicular to the axial line of the barrel.

Claims (4)

1. A method of manufacturing molded parts comprising:

supplying a resin material, into a barrel that receives a screw, from a resin material supply port portion formed in a peripheral wall portion of the barrel; and

supplying a continuous fiber into the barrel from a fiber supply port portion formed on a distal side of the barrel from the resin material supply port portion in the peripheral wall portion of the barrel and having an opening that communicates with the inside of the barrel,

wherein a maximum length of the opening in the barrel of the fiber supply port portion along an axial direction thereof is 1 time or more and 2 times or less as much as a pitch of a flight disposed in a portion of the screw which faces the opening of the fiber supply port portion in a direction perpendicular to an axial line of the barrel, and the opening is shaped as a rectangle including two edges that are parallel to the axial line.
