An apparatus for producing an injection-molded article, characterized in that it is configured to perform an operation of cutting the runner and an operation of conveying the molded body discarded to the runner to an inspection part.

  In the case of such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 12, the molded body conveying device 12 has a runner disposed inside the molded body supporting portion 12 d constituting the molded body conveying device 12 according to the first embodiment described above. A runner cut portion 12e to be cut is provided. Then, the molded body 11 with the runner for which the secondary injection has been completed is taken out from the mold by the molded body support portion 12d supporting (gripping) the runner 11a and conveyed to the molded body stock portion 13 (FIG. 12A). ), (B), (C)).

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13 (A), among the molded bodies 11 with runners placed on the molded body stock portion 13, the placement time for curing is the longest. The molded body 11 with the runner is transported to a runner disposal section 17 provided between the injection molding apparatus 7 and the molded body stock section 13 with the molded body support section 12d supporting a portion that is not a runner. In the runner discarding section 17, the runner 11a is cut (cut) by the runner cutting section 12e, and the cut runner 11a falls downward and is discarded in a disposal box 17a provided on the runner discarding section 17.
