Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
射出成形機等の型締装置における異常をタイバの応力により検出する方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、型締装置のタイバの応力は、タイバの中心穴に埋設した小径部材に歪センサを帖着し、前記小径部材の応力による伸長を歪センサで検出して測定されていた。(例えば、特許文献1参照)
【0003】
【特許文献1】
特開2002−1786号公報(請求項2、第4−5頁、第1図)
【0004】
しかしながら、駆動手段の誤作動等により規定を越えた型締力が発生した場合や、固定盤に規定より小さい取付け面積の金型を取付けた場合には、固定盤の撓みが大きくなりタイバに大きな曲げ応力が生じてタイバが折損することがある。前記特許文献1における応力検出方法は、タイバ各部の応力を平均したものとして検出することになるので、局部的に発生する大きな応力を検出することができない。したがって従来技術では、応力異常を正確に素早く検出することが出来なかったのである。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記の従来技術における課題を解決すべくなされたものであり、タイバ折損のような型締装置の応力異常を正確に素早く検出する方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
そこで本発明は、固定金型を取付けた固定盤と、可動金型を取付けた可動盤と、可動金型を固定金型に離隔、近接および圧締させる駆動手段と、駆動手段と固定盤の間に張設され可動盤を案内する複数のタイバとからなる型締装置の各タイバにおいて、固定金型に対向する内面と該内面のタイバを介した反対側である外面との二の面における応力を測定し、それらの応力の差を求めるようにした。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。図1は、本発明を実施する型締装置の平面図である。図2は、図1におけるA−A矢視断面図である。
【0008】
型締装置1は、固定金型8を取付けた固定盤2と、可動金型9を取付けた可動盤3と、可動盤3の可動金型9取付け面の反対面に固着したラム5を進退駆動させ可動金型9を固定金型8に離隔、近接および圧締させる駆動手段4と、駆動手段4と固定盤2の間に張設され可動盤3を案内する複数のタイバ6とからなる。
【0009】
駆動手段4は、上記のようにラム5を備えた油圧式に限らず、サーボモータ、ボールネジおよびボールナット等からなる電動式やトグル機構等からなる機械式であってもよい。
【0010】
図2に示すように、タイバ6は固定盤2の四隅に穿孔された貫通穴にナット7により立設されている。したがって、可動盤3が駆動手段4により駆動され、型合わせされた固定金型8と可動金型9が圧締されたときには、固定盤2はその中央部が固定金型8により押圧されるので、破線で示すように、外方に向けて撓むことになる。それに伴って、タイバ6も破線で示すように、互いに内側に曲げられるのである。このようなタイバ6の曲がりは、固定金型8の寸法B,Cが小さい程大きくなる。また、駆動手段4における油圧やサーボモータトルクの異常上昇等の誤作動が生じた場合、安全な規定値を越えてタイバ6の曲がりが大きくなる。
【0011】
上記タイバ6の曲がりが発生したとき、タイバ6の固定金型8に対向する内面における応力は、該内面のタイバ6を介した反対側である外面における応力よりも大きくなる。内面と外面における応力は、そこに貼着した歪ゲージにより検出される。内面の歪ゲージは、11,13,15,17であり、外面の歪ゲージは、10,12,14,16である。なお、内面と外面の中心は、固定盤2の固定金型8を取付けた面の中心軸に設けた垂直線の近傍に位置する。
【0012】
内面の歪ゲージ11,13,15,17および外面の歪ゲージ10,12,14,16はそれぞれ図示しない増幅器に接続され、内面および外面の歪みに比例した電気信号に変換される。そして、歪ゲージ11の信号から歪ゲージ10の信号が減算される。同様に、歪ゲージ13の信号から歪ゲージ12の信号が、歪ゲージ15の信号から歪ゲージ14の信号が、歪ゲージ17の信号から歪ゲージ16の信号がそれぞれ減算され、対の内外面における減算値が得られる。
【0013】
上記減算値は、タイバ6の曲がりの大きさに応じて変化するので、タイバ6の曲がりに対する許容所定値を設けておき、減算値がその値を越えたときに異常警報を発するように構成しておく。なお、前記減算値のうちいずれかまたは各減算値の平均値が、タイバ6の曲がりに対する許容所定値を越えたときに異常警報を発するようにする。
【0014】
内面の歪ゲージ11,13,15,17および外面の歪ゲージ10,12,14,16のタイバ6軸方向の配設位置は、固定盤2の可動盤3と対向する面からタイバ6の直径の2倍から3倍の距離隔てた位置Dとするのが好ましい。このようにすることにより、ノイズが少なく十分高い値の減算値を得ることができる。
【0015】
また、応力検出手段として、歪ゲージを直接タイバ6の内面および外面に貼着するのではなく、例えばSYSKO CORPORATIONの商品名TIE−BARR SENSORのように歪ゲージを設けた着脱可能な環状部材からなるセンサをタイバ6に嵌着してもよい。
【0016】
【発明の効果】
本発明は上記のように構成したので、型締装置の応力異常を精度良くしかも素早く検出でき、型締装置の損傷を予防するため、射出成形作業の生産性向上に大きく貢献する。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for detecting an abnormality in a mold clamping device such as an injection molding machine based on tie bar stress.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, the stress of the tie bar of the mold clamping device has been measured by attaching a strain sensor to a small-diameter member embedded in the center hole of the tie bar, and detecting the extension of the small-diameter member due to the stress with the strain sensor. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
[0003]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-2002-1786 (Claim 2, pages 4-5, FIG. 1)
[0004]
However, when a mold clamping force exceeding the specified value is generated due to a malfunction of the driving means, or when a mold having a smaller mounting area is mounted on the fixed plate, the fixed plate bends more and the tie bar becomes larger. The tie bar may be broken due to bending stress. In the stress detection method disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the stress of each part of the tie bar is detected as an average, it is not possible to detect a large stress locally generated. Therefore, in the prior art, it was not possible to accurately and quickly detect a stress abnormality.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems in the related art, and has as its object to provide a method for accurately and quickly detecting a stress abnormality of a mold clamping device such as a tie bar breakage.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Accordingly, the present invention provides a fixed plate having a fixed die attached thereto, a movable plate having a movable die attached thereto, a driving unit for separating, approaching, and pressing the movable die to the fixed die, and a driving unit and a fixed plate. In each tie bar of the mold clamping device comprising a plurality of tie bars stretched between and guiding the movable platen, in each of two surfaces of the inner surface facing the fixed mold and the outer surface opposite to the inner surface via the tie bar. The stress was measured, and the difference between the stresses was determined.
[0007]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a mold clamping device embodying the present invention. FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG.
[0008]
The mold clamping device 1 advances and retreats the fixed platen 2 on which the fixed die 8 is mounted, the movable platen 3 on which the movable die 9 is mounted, and the ram 5 fixed to the movable platen 3 on the surface opposite to the movable die 9 mounting surface. Driving means 4 for driving the movable mold 9 to separate, approach and press the movable mold 9 to the fixed mold 8, and a plurality of tie bars 6 stretched between the driving means 4 and the fixed board 2 to guide the movable board 3. .
[0009]
The driving means 4 is not limited to the hydraulic type having the ram 5 as described above, but may be an electric type including a servomotor, a ball screw and a ball nut, or a mechanical type including a toggle mechanism.
[0010]
As shown in FIG. 2, the tie bars 6 are erected by nuts 7 in through holes formed at four corners of the fixed board 2. Therefore, when the movable platen 3 is driven by the driving means 4 and the fixed die 8 and the movable die 9 that have been matched are pressed together, the center of the fixed platen 2 is pressed by the fixed die 8. , As shown by the broken lines. Accordingly, the tie bars 6 are also bent inward each other as shown by the broken lines. The bending of the tie bar 6 becomes larger as the dimensions B and C of the fixed die 8 are smaller. In addition, when a malfunction such as an abnormal increase in the hydraulic pressure or the servomotor torque in the driving means 4 occurs, the bending of the tie bar 6 becomes larger than a safe specified value.
[0011]
When the tie bar 6 is bent, the stress on the inner surface of the tie bar 6 facing the fixed die 8 is larger than the stress on the outer surface on the opposite side of the tie bar 6 via the tie bar 6. The stress on the inner and outer surfaces is detected by a strain gauge attached thereto. The strain gauges on the inner surface are 11, 13, 15, and 17, and the strain gauges on the outer surface are 10, 12, 14, and 16. The center between the inner surface and the outer surface is located near a vertical line provided on the central axis of the surface of the fixed platen 2 to which the fixed mold 8 is attached.
[0012]
The strain gauges 11, 13, 15, 17 on the inner surface and the strain gauges 10, 12, 14, 16 on the outer surface are respectively connected to amplifiers (not shown), and are converted into electric signals proportional to the strain on the inner and outer surfaces. Then, the signal of the strain gauge 10 is subtracted from the signal of the strain gauge 11. Similarly, the signal of the strain gauge 12 is subtracted from the signal of the strain gauge 13, the signal of the strain gauge 14 is subtracted from the signal of the strain gauge 15, and the signal of the strain gauge 16 is subtracted from the signal of the strain gauge 17, respectively. A subtraction value is obtained.
[0013]
Since the subtraction value changes according to the degree of the bending of the tie bar 6, an allowable predetermined value for the bending of the tie bar 6 is provided, and an abnormality alarm is issued when the subtraction value exceeds the value. Keep it. An abnormality alarm is issued when any one of the subtraction values or the average value of the respective subtraction values exceeds an allowable predetermined value for the bending of the tie bar 6.
[0014]
The positions of the strain gauges 11, 13, 15, 17 on the inner surface and the strain gauges 10, 12, 14, 16 on the outer surface in the axial direction of the tie bar 6 are determined by the diameter of the tie bar 6 from the surface of the fixed plate 2 facing the movable plate 3. It is preferable to set the position D at a distance of 2 to 3 times the distance D. By doing so, it is possible to obtain a sufficiently high subtraction value with little noise.
[0015]
Instead of directly attaching the strain gauge to the inner and outer surfaces of the tie bar 6 as a stress detecting means, the strain gauge is formed of a detachable annular member provided with a strain gauge such as TIE-BARR SENSOR (trade name of SYSKO CORPORATION). The sensor may be fitted to the tie bar 6.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention is configured as described above, stress abnormality of the mold clamping device can be accurately and quickly detected, and damage to the mold clamping device is prevented, thereby greatly contributing to improvement in productivity of the injection molding operation.
