Description

  The present invention relates to a method for controlling an injection compression molding machine hydraulic circuit suitable for high-precision injection compression molding, which is performed to obtain a precise molded product in a thermoplastic resin injection molding machine. In particular, in a control system using a servo valve of a large hydraulic apparatus, the present invention can be used as an improvement measure that can be dealt with when precise control with high responsiveness is required.

  In injection compression molding, at the time of molding, the movable mold and the fixed mold are not completely clamped but held in a slightly opened state (called dimension opening), and the molten resin is injected into the mold as it is. With the resin in the mold still plastic, pressure oil is sent to the mold clamping device, and a relatively large mold clamping force is applied to the movable mold via the tie bar, split nut, and movable mold platen. By compressing and extending the resin, a precise molded product according to the shape and dimensions of the mold cavity is obtained.

In the compression step performed after the opening amount control, it is necessary to send a considerable amount of pressure oil instantaneously to the mold clamping device. Therefore, in general, in an injection compression molding machine, a pressure oil accumulator is attached to a hydraulic circuit. Then, the pressure of the nitrogen gas sealed in the accumulator is detected, and the motor-driven pressure accumulating pump is controlled on-off.
Conventionally, the accumulator accumulates pressure oil until it reaches a certain pressure value, regardless of the actual stroke amount of the tie bar required for the compression process. A control method has been adopted in which a predetermined hydraulic pressure can be maintained even when the amount is discharged.

A technique relating to the operation method of the accumulator is disclosed in Patent Document 1. This known technique is used for an accumulator of an injection compression molding machine that repeats an overload exceeding 150% and a light load of 30% or less in a molding cycle time of 3 to 5 seconds like molding of an optical disk substrate by injection compression molding. The accumulator pump drive motor is protected from overload.
That is, when the ratio between the time for accumulating pressure oil in the accumulator and the time for not accumulating pressure exceeds a certain limit, or the accumulated value of accumulated pressure time exceeds a predetermined value in multiple molding cycles, the control device is activated. Thus, an alarm is issued, so that the worker changes the molding conditions to reduce the load on the accumulator pump drive motor and protect the motor.

As described above, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 protects the drive motor of the accumulator pump and does not control the pressure oil of the accumulator. Therefore, for the purpose of improving the performance of injection compression molding, a new idea is required when the accumulator is efficiently used and the necessary hydraulic pressure and oil amount are supplied from the accumulator under quick and accurate conditions.

In the injection compression molding, the mold opening amount is extremely important for uniformity over the four peripheral surfaces of the mold and stability during resin injection. In particular, in order to eliminate misalignment of the mold position due to the injection of the resin into the mold and the misalignment of the parallelism, the mold opening amount between the fixed mold and the movable mold can be directly measured at a plurality of corners of the mold. It is only necessary to control the hydraulic pressures of a plurality of mold clamping devices and to control the position of the movable mold platen so that all the detected values have the same value.
Although the technique is shown in Patent Document 2, it is for obtaining a molded product having a uniform thickness by injection compression molding of an asymmetric molded product. In order to obtain a precise molded product including thickness uniformity by precision injection compression molding, a new idea is required.

Further, the uniformity and stability of the die opening amount over the four circumferential surfaces is also shown in Patent Document 3, and the die opening amount is detected at the die position corresponding to each of a plurality of tie bars. And a means for adjusting a driving force applied to the plate driving means belonging to each of the tie bars according to the degree of unbalance of the detected displacement amount for each sensor. The degree of parallelism is ensured.
Since this technology often attaches a displacement sensor to a die that is often exchanged, there are drawbacks such as calibration of the amount of displacement at the time of die exchange, but it cannot be expected when it is installed elsewhere. There is an advantage of detecting the net mold opening amount without time delay.

Regarding the compression process of resin in the mold for injection compression molding, there are subtle points in the start timing and operation speed of the process, and attempts have been made to improve the controllability of the mold clamping device.
According to Patent Document 4, the compression displacement amount of the mold is detected and compared before and during filling so that the mold load due to injection filling does not occur while reducing the compression load due to the mold clamping force. In this method, the hydraulic pressure of the clamping cylinder is controlled so as not to change the compression displacement value.
That is, a positive pressure that balances the mold opening force due to the resin pressure in the mold during injection is positively applied to the oil chamber in the tie bar side of the mold clamping cylinder (that is, the mold opening is caused by the mold internal pressure that is increased by resin injection). In order to maintain the position of the tie bar, the applied pressure is increased so as not to increase).

As a conventional technique for suppressing mold opening during resin injection, as shown in Patent Document 3, all of the mold clamping cylinders are locked by setting all the electrohydraulic control valves of a plurality of mold clamping cylinders to a neutral state. There is also a method, which has been adopted as a simple and reliable method for medium and small injection compression molding machines.
However, recently, with the rapid increase in demand for high-precision injection compression molded products such as optical disks, CDs, DVD substrates, etc., there is a demand for high-performance injection compression molding machines that can quickly produce large-sized high-precision molded products. With the conventional method of locking the mold clamping cylinder, it becomes difficult to quickly enter the mold compression process from the mold open / injection state, and it is necessary to improve the controllability and responsiveness of the mold clamping device. It has become.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-35207 (FIG. 1) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-220745 (FIG. 1) Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-261007 (FIG. 1) Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2003-276067 (FIG. 1)

In the so-called injection compression molding process including high-precision injection compression molding, the compression amount varies depending on the characteristics of the molded product, and the stroke amount of the tie bar varies. The accumulator, hydraulic pump, drive motor, and the like to be attached must be of a large capacity capable of accumulating pressure within the maximum stroke amount of the tie bar and the molding cycle time.
On the other hand, since the pressure oil supplied from the large-capacity accumulator is determined in proportion to the actual movement amount of the tie bar, the pressure oil remaining in the accumulator has a margin in most cases, and the hydraulic oil connected to the accumulator While the residual pressure remains on the circuit, an excessive pressure is exerted on the pressure increasing cylinder chamber (tie bar side pressure chamber) and the release cylinder chamber (anti-tie bar side pressure chamber) of the mold clamping device.

In order to suppress the residual overpressure of the hydraulic circuit, it is necessary to let excess pressure oil escape to the tank by the relief valve. The oil amount and the fluctuation of the oil pressure at this time are the most important conditions for high-precision injection compression. This hinders improvement in control accuracy of the tie bar position.
In addition, when the injection compression is completed and the process proceeds to the next process, a process of once releasing the excess pressure (residual pressure) is required, which not only wastes previously stored energy but also hinders shortening of the molding cycle. Will have problems.

When the die opening amount is controlled to be constant during and after the resin injection, the anti-tie bar side pressure chamber (release cylinder chamber) of the mold clamping cylinder may interfere with the operation of the boost cylinder chamber. There is no low pressure near 0 (zero) MPa or zero. That is, whether the oil circuit in the release cylinder chamber is open to the oil tank or is shut off for a short time. (See Figure 3)
When the pressure in the release cylinder chamber is 0 MPa or a slight value, the resin compression process begins, and a command is issued from the central controller to the hydraulic servo valve to allow a considerable amount of pressure oil from the accumulator to flow into the boost cylinder chamber. However, the hydraulic servo valve could not respond immediately to the control command due to the following two problems.
The pressure on the discharge side (discharge from the release cylinder chamber) port (corresponding to A to T in FIG. 4) of the hydraulic servo valve is close to 0 MPa for the above-mentioned reason, and the difference is small. The valve is not set to the specified opening. (The specified valve opening is not reached.)
That is, the opening of the hydraulic servo valve has a characteristic that is inversely proportional to the square root of the pressure difference between the discharge ports A and T. However, when the pressure difference between the ports A and T is small, the denominator is small and the specified opening is 100. %.
As described above, when the hydraulic pressure of the release cylinder is 0 MPa or very small, even if the pressure oil from the accumulator is supplied to the booster cylinder and the tie bar starts to move, the oil in the release cylinder chamber is compressed gently for a moment. However, since the pressure value of the discharge port used for pressure oil flow control is delayed with respect to the start of supply of pressure oil to the booster cylinder, the pressure oil flow error and Control delay occurs.

The cause of the poor response of the hydraulic servo valve is that the pressure in the release cylinder chamber is 0 MPa, the oil compressibility is effective, and the opening degree of the hydraulic servo valve is not fixed. The present invention does not add a special device to the oil discharge circuit of the servo valve, and only adds the pressure in the release cylinder chamber by the control method of the servo valve, thereby controlling the response of the servo valve opening. It is also aimed at improving.

The present invention solves the above problems by the following means.
(1) The first method of controlling the hydraulic circuit of the injection compression molding machine includes a plurality of clamping cylinders provided on a fixed mold plate to which a fixed mold is attached, and a movable having a movable mold attached thereto. It is equipped with a mold clamping device that is connected to the mold plate via a tie bar, and the movable mold and the fixed mold are not completely clamped, but are held in a slightly opened state and melted as they are. When the resin is injected and the resin in the mold still remains plastic, pressure oil is sent to the mold clamping device via the hydraulic servo valve, and then to the tie bar, split nut, movable mold platen, and movable mold. In a control method of an injection compression molding machine hydraulic circuit that obtains a precise molded product according to the shape and size of the mold cavity by compressing the resin by applying a relatively large clamping force, depending on the type of injection compression molded product By a control device that sets and manages the mold opening amount Calculate the stroke of the tie bar calculated from the opening amount and the required oil storage amount, store the amount of oil in the attached accumulator, and discharge the oil storage amount in the accumulator. When the oil pressure of the accumulator becomes a predetermined holding pressure value, a state quantity such as the pressure in the pressurizing chamber of the accumulator and the oil level is estimated by calculation to obtain a target value of the state quantity. The accumulator oil storage stop command is issued when the target value is reached.
Features.

(2) The second means for controlling the injection compression molding machine hydraulic circuit is the same as the first means for controlling the injection compression molding machine hydraulic circuit. It is characterized in that the pressure of the A port connected to the mold release side of the clamping cylinder is kept at 1 MPa or more while the opening of the point is performed with a small opening of an overlap region of ± 5%.
(3) The control method of the injection compression molding machine hydraulic circuit of the third means is the control method of the injection compression molding machine hydraulic circuit of the second means, wherein the T port corresponding to the oil discharge circuit of the A port is 1 MPa or more. A back pressure selection relief valve for generating pressure is provided, and the pressure of the upstream A port is always kept at 1 MPa or more.
(4) The fourth means for controlling the injection compression molding machine hydraulic circuit is the same as the third means for controlling the injection compression molding machine hydraulic circuit. Control the opening of the neutral point with a limit so that it does not exceed the ± 5% overlap range. The limit is released at the moment of entering the compression process, and the pressure up to the rated flow of the hydraulic servo valve is reached. It is characterized in that the oil is sent to the pressure cylinder chamber and controlled so that it can be accurately and rapidly compressed.

  In the invention according to claim 1, the accumulator, the hydraulic pump, and the drive motor system for supplying pressure oil to the mold clamping device can secure a molding cycle even with a relatively small capacity. Since the pressure oil remaining in the accumulator maintains a holding pressure that does not harm the hydraulic circuit, it eliminates the need for a pressure adjustment process that wastes time and energy, and can be stably maintained until the next molding process. This brings about an effect that high-precision injection compression molding can be performed efficiently, silently and smoothly.

  The invention according to claim 2 makes use of the pressure characteristic near the neutral of the high-precision and high-response servo valve, and does not add a special device to the oil discharge circuit of the servo valve, and the oil discharge port of the release cylinder chamber The pressure of the servo valve port connected to the above is maintained at 1 MPa or more, and there is no need for other additional devices, and the same effect as in the previous section can be obtained only by the control method of the servo valve.

  In the invention according to claim 3, a pressurizing device is added to the oil discharge circuit of the servo valve, and the generated pressure of 1 MPa or more is applied as a back pressure to the release cylinder chamber to reduce the compressibility of the hydraulic oil. Since the opening of the hydraulic servo valve is determined as specified, the control performance of the hydraulic servo valve with high accuracy and high response can be exhibited sufficiently.

  The invention according to claim 4 further improves the basic control method of the hydraulic servo valve according to the previous paragraph to ensure the back pressure applied to the release cylinder chamber, and in the resin compression step, There is an effect that pressure oil up to the rated flow rate of the hydraulic servo valve can be sent at once, and compression molding of the resin can be performed accurately and at high speed.

(First embodiment)
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing one set of a hydraulic control circuit and a clamping cylinder according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of “die opening” in the middle of the injection compression molding process, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of “dimension adjustment operation during resin injection” that follows the above process, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a “resin compression” step.
In general, the mold clamping cylinder of an injection molding machine has four sets attached to the fixed mold plate as actuators of tie bars arranged at the four corners of a movable mold plate forming a rectangle. Since the control modes of the four sets of mold clamping cylinders are all the same, the description of the present invention only requires the function of one set of mold clamping cylinders. Therefore, the illustration of the other three sets of mold clamping cylinders is omitted. To do.

  The inside of the mold clamping cylinder 1 is divided into two parts by a piston 4a and a tie bar 4 fitted in a liquid-tight manner therein, and is composed of a boost cylinder chamber 3 on the tie bar side and a release cylinder chamber 2. The mold clamping cylinder 1 is provided with a four-way servo valve 6. The valve port A is connected to the connection port 2 a of the release cylinder chamber 2, and the valve port B is connected to the connection port 3 a of the boost cylinder chamber 3. However, the pressure oil is supplied or discharged.

The four-way servo valve 6 is provided with a valve port P connected to the hydraulic drive device 20 and a valve port T for discharging oil to the tank 7. A large amount of pressure oil can be fed into the mold cylinder chamber 2.
When a large amount of pressure oil is sent to the valve port A or B via the valve port P, the pressure accumulation / release pressure switching valve 8 switches to the pressure release side, and a large amount of high pressure oil stored in the accumulator 10 is supplied to the valve port P. Pour. The large amount of high-pressure oil strokes the piston 4 a and the tie bar 4 fitted in the mold clamping cylinder 1, and at the same time, the same amount of hydraulic oil is discharged from the valve port T and returns to the tank 7.

  When the stroke of the tie bar 4 is completed and stopped, the pressure accumulation / release pressure switching valve 8 is switched by a command of a central control device (not shown), and the flow of pressure oil to the four-way servo valve 6 is cut off. Therefore, the high-pressure hydraulic oil discharged from the hydraulic pump 15 driven by the motor 14 is stored in the oil storage chamber 12 of the accumulator 10. Inside the accumulator 10, a pressurizing chamber 11 filled with an inert gas is provided, and the oil level and the internal pressure rise as the hydraulic oil accumulates. In addition, 5 is a relief valve for protecting the pressure resistance of the release cylinder chamber 2, 9 is a drive valve of the pressure accumulation / release pressure switching valve 8, 17 is a constant pressure valve, 21 is a pressure sensor for the valve port A, and 22 is for the valve port B. A pressure sensor, 23 is a pressure sensor for the valve port P, 24 is a pressure sensor for the valve port T, and 25 is a pressure sensor for the accumulator.

When the pressure in the pressurizing chamber 11 of the accumulator 10 reaches a value calculated from the oil storage amount corresponding to the set stroke amount of the tie bar 4, the control device 18 that controls the oil storage amount shuts off the power of the motor 14. Then, the supply of hydraulic oil to the accumulator 10 is stopped.
When the oil level in the oil storage chamber 12 of the accumulator 10 reaches the oil level calculated from the oil storage amount corresponding to the set stroke amount of the tie bar 4, the control device 18 It is also possible to configure the system to shut off.

By the oil storage amount control, the oil storage amount of the accumulator 10 is equal to the amount necessary for the stroke of the tie bar 4 that determines the compression amount specific to the molding type, or the stroke of the tie bar 4 is It is a value obtained by adding a predetermined amount of allowance for the required amount to the flow loss at the time of flow, and at the same time when the mold compression process is started, the oil storage amount is transferred from the accumulator 10 to the pressure accumulation / The pressure is supplied to the port P of the four-way servo valve 6 via the pressure release switching valve 8 and flows into the pressure-increasing cylinder chamber 3 via the valve port B.
The tie bar 4 is moved in the mold closing direction by the high-pressure oil flowing into the boost cylinder chamber 3, and the movable mold 32 is pressed against the fixed mold 33 via the split nut 30 and the movable mold plate 31. The mold is clamped to compress the resin in the mold cavity. (See Figure 4)
The fixed mold 33 is attached to a fixed mold board (not shown).

When the tie bar 4 completes the mold clamping stroke, the hydraulic pressure of the accumulator 10 becomes the holding pressure as calculated, so the boost cylinder chamber 3, the valve port P of the four-way servo valve 6, the pressure accumulation / release pressure switching. All the hydraulic circuits and the like before and after the valve 8 are maintained at the holding pressure, and no high pressure portion remains during accumulator oil storage.
Therefore, before moving to the next step (mold release), it is possible to smoothly, quietly and promptly advance the process without requiring an operation such as adjustment of hydraulic pressure and time-consuming work.

FIG. 4 shows the core process of high-precision injection compression molding. In particular, in a large-sized injection molding machine, it is important to execute the process accurately and without time delay.
Before the “resin compression” step (see FIG. 4), there is a “die opening” step (see FIG. 2), and then through a “dimension adjustment operation during injection” (see FIG. 3). However, since the molten resin is injected at a high pressure into the mold cavity with the mold of the large injection molding machine opened, the position of the movable mold 32 There is a problem that is not easy to control, and it is necessary to adopt a responsive one using the four-way servo valve 6.

  In the first embodiment of the present invention, the four-way servo valve 6 is set to a predetermined small opening (for example, ± 5% as an example) during the “die opening” step and the “opening amount adjusting operation during injection” step. The opening is controlled so that it does not exceed the range of the opening), so that a back pressure of 1 MPa or more is generated in the valve port A of the four-way servo valve 6 and significant between the valve ports AT on the discharge side. Actuate to create a differential pressure. In the small opening control of the four-way servo valve 6, since the control flow rate is suppressed to a small range, the “die opening” and “the opening adjusting operation during injection” are relatively slow controls. The operation itself is a small range of adjustment and does not cause a problem in the molding process.

However, in the “resin compression” process, it is necessary to perform mold clamping accurately and without time delay, and a central controller (not shown) that manages the injection compression molding process performs the “resin compression” process. At the moment of entering, the small opening range limitation of the four-way servo valve 6 is released, and the pressure oil up to the rated flow rate of the four-way servo valve 6 can be sent to the boost cylinder chamber 3.
Further, the back pressure of 1 MPa or more generated in the valve port A of the four-way servo valve 6 has a function of compressing the hydraulic oil in the release cylinder chamber 2 in advance, and the high pressure that has flowed into the boost cylinder chamber 3. The oil is immediately discharged to the tank 7 via the valve port T by the action of the oil, and the piston 4a and the tie bar 4 smoothly stroke without time delay and accurately compress the resin.

(Second Embodiment)
The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the valve port A for discharging is used to set a back pressure of 1 MPa or more to the valve port A of the four-way servo valve 6 whenever necessary. A back pressure selection type relief valve device 120 that can select a back pressure (0 or 1 MPa or more) is attached to T. Although functionally equivalent to the first embodiment, the feature of the second embodiment is that the function of the four-way servo valve 6 can be used more effectively. The second embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a hydraulic control circuit and a set of clamping cylinders according to the second embodiment. 2 to 4 of the schematic diagrams showing the respective steps used in the description of the first embodiment are common to the description of the second embodiment, and there is no change.

  In FIG. 5, the hydraulic piping connection of the four-way servo valve 6 is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the downstream of the valve port T. The hydraulic drive device 20 including the accumulator 10, the hydraulic pump 15, the motor 14, the control device 18, the tank 7, and the like is the same as that in the first embodiment.

  In the first embodiment, the opening range of the four-way servo valve 6 is limited during the “die opening” step (FIG. 2) and the “dimension adjustment operation during injection” step (FIG. 3). Is added to control the small opening, and a back pressure of 1 MPa or more is applied to the valve port A, and a significant pressure difference is applied between the valve ports A-T. A back pressure relief valve 26 is connected so that a variable pressure of 0 or 1 MPa or higher can be selected, and hydraulic oil can be discharged from the valve port T according to the selected back pressure.

In this configuration, which is the second embodiment, in the “opening amount adjusting operation during injection” in which it is necessary to set a back pressure of 1 MPa or more to the valve port A of the four-way servo valve 6, the variable pressure reducing valve 28 The pressure is set to 1 MPa or more, and the back pressure relief valve drive valve 27 is controlled so that the relief pressure of the back pressure relief valve 26 is 1 MPa or more.
Further, in the “resin compression” process and the “mold release / mold opening” process, the back pressure relief valve drive valve 27 is controlled so that the relief pressure of the back pressure relief valve 26 becomes 0 (atmospheric pressure). As a result, the four-way servo valve 6 can be controlled at the rated flow rate without reducing the flow rate due to the back pressure, so that the tie bar 4 can be accurately and time-delayed in the “resin compression” step. Can be operated.

  Since the split nut is inherently loose (sliding clearance), the movable mold platen and split nut do not work together, so high accuracy is achieved when controlling the forward speed of the four corner tie bars. There are cases where it becomes an obstacle. As a countermeasure against this, in each of the above-described embodiments, a backlash prevention hydraulic cylinder (not shown) is added between the stationary mold plate and the movable mold platen, and the movable mold platen is moved by the pressing force of the backlash prevention hydraulic cylinder. Even when the tie bar is pressed against the split nut and the speed of the tie bar is changed, it is possible to prevent the play from occurring by operating the movable mold plate and the split nut so as not to be separated. Further, when a shield block forward / reverse hydraulic cylinder (not shown) is built in the mold, the shield block forward / backward hydraulic cylinder may also be used as a backlash prevention hydraulic cylinder.
