JP, 09-322478, A

The injection device has a drive source such as a motor and a mechanical element such as a ball screw operated by the drive source. When electric power is supplied to the drive source, Joule heat or frictional heat is generated in the drive source, and frictional heat or the like is generated in the mechanical element.

The injection device has a cover surrounding the drive source and the mechanical elements. Since heat easily accumulates inside the cover, the ambient temperature inside the cover easily rises, and the temperature of the drive source and the temperature of the mechanical elements tend to rise.

When the cooling fan described in Patent Document 1 is installed inside the cover together with the drive source and the mechanical elements, the gas discharged from the cooling air outlet returns to the cooling air inlet again, so that the cooling effect is not sufficiently obtained. ..

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and a main object of the present invention is to provide an injection device that can suppress a temperature rise of a drive source and mechanical elements surrounded by a cover.

To solve the above problems, according to one embodiment of the present invention,
Drive source,
A mechanical element operated by the drive source;
A cover surrounding the drive source and the mechanical element,
An injection device is provided, which includes an exhaust fan that discharges gas inside the cover to the outside of the cover.

According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided an injection device capable of suppressing a temperature rise of a drive source and mechanical elements surrounded by a cover.

Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each of the drawings, the same or corresponding components will be denoted by the same or corresponding reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 1 is a top view of an injection molding machine according to an embodiment. 1 shows the inside of the cover 61, the ceiling portion 61a of the cover 61 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is removed. However, the position of the exhaust fan 69 attached to the ceiling portion 61a is shown by a broken line. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the injection device taken along the line II-II in FIG. FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the injection device taken along the line III-III in FIG. 1.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the injection molding machine includes an injection device 40 and a control device 90. In the following description, the moving direction of the screw 43 during filling (the left direction in FIGS. 1 to 3) is the front, and the moving direction of the screw 43 during the weighing (the right direction in FIGS. 1 to 3) is the rear.

The injection device 40 touches a mold device (not shown) to fill the molding material with the molding material. A molded product is obtained by cooling and solidifying the molding material filled in the mold device. The injection device 40 includes, for example, a cylinder 41, a nozzle 42, a screw 43 (see FIG. 2), a cooler 44, a metering motor 45 (see FIG. 2), an injection motor 46 (see FIG. 3), a pressure detector 47 (see FIG. 2). ), a heater 48, and a temperature detector 49.

The cylinder 41 heats the molding material supplied inside from the supply port 41a shown in FIG. The supply port 41a is formed in the rear part of the cylinder 41. A cooler 44 such as a water-cooled cylinder is provided on the outer periphery of the rear portion of the cylinder 41. A heater 48 such as a band heater and a temperature detector 49 are provided on the outer circumference of the cylinder 41 in front of the cooler 44.

The cylinder 41 is divided into a plurality of zones in the axial direction of the cylinder 41. A heater 48 and a temperature detector 49 are provided in each zone. The controller 90 controls the heater 48 so that the temperature detected by the temperature detector 49 becomes the set temperature for each zone.

The nozzle 42 is provided at the front end of the cylinder 41 and is pressed against the mold device. A heater 48 and a temperature detector 49 are provided on the outer circumference of the nozzle 42. The controller 90 controls the heater 48 so that the temperature detected by the nozzle 42 reaches the set temperature.

The screw 43 is rotatably arranged in the cylinder 41 and is movable back and forth. When the screw 43 is rotated, the molding material is sent forward along the spiral groove of the screw 43. The molding material is gradually melted by the heat from the cylinder 41 while being sent forward. As the liquid molding material is fed to the front of the screw 43 and accumulated in the front part of the cylinder 41, the screw 43 is retracted. After that, when the screw 43 is advanced, the molding material in front of the screw 43 is injected from the nozzle 42 and filled in the mold device.

The metering motor 45 rotates the screw 43.

The injection motor 46 advances and retracts the screw 43. The rotary motion of the injection motor 46 is converted into a linear motion of the screw 43 by the motion conversion mechanism 51. As shown in FIG. 3, the motion converting mechanism 51 has a screw shaft 52 and a screw nut 53 screwed onto the screw shaft 52. A ball or a roller may be interposed between the screw shaft 52 and the screw nut 53.

The injection motor 46 and the motion conversion mechanism 51 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line of the cylinder 41 and the screw 43 when viewed from above. The number of injection motors 46 and the number of motion conversion mechanisms 51 are not particularly limited, and may be one, for example.

The pressure detector 47 is provided in the force transmission path between the injection motor 46 and the screw 43, and detects the load acting on the pressure detector 47. The pressure detector 47 sends a signal indicating the detection result to the control device 90. The detection result of the pressure detector 47 is used for controlling and monitoring the pressure that the screw 43 receives from the molding material, the back pressure on the screw 43, the pressure acting on the molding material from the screw 43, and the like.

The injection device 40 performs a filling process, a pressure-holding process, a measuring process, and the like under the control of the control device 90.

In the filling step, the injection motor 46 is driven to move the screw 43 forward at a set speed, and the liquid molding material accumulated in front of the screw 43 is filled in the cavity space in the mold device. The position and speed of the screw 43 are detected by using the encoder of the injection motor 46, for example. The encoder of the injection motor 46 detects the rotation of the injection motor 46 and sends a signal indicating the detection result to the control device 90. When the position of the screw 43 reaches the set position, switching from the filling process to the pressure holding process (so-called V/P switching) is performed. The set speed of the screw 43 may be changed according to the position and time of the screw 43.

In addition, after the position of the screw 43 reaches the set position in the filling process, the screw 43 may be temporarily stopped at the set position and then V/P switching may be performed. Immediately before the V/P switching, instead of stopping the screw 43, the screw 43 may be slightly advanced or slightly retracted.

In the pressure-holding step, the injection motor 46 is driven to push the screw 43 forward at a set pressure to apply pressure to the molding material in the mold device. A shortage of molding material due to cooling shrinkage can be replenished. The pressure of the molding material is detected using, for example, the pressure detector 47. The pressure detector 47 sends a signal indicating the detection result to the control device 90.

In the pressure holding step, the molding material in the cavity space is gradually cooled, and when the pressure holding step is completed, the inlet of the cavity space is closed with the solidified molding material. This state is called a gate seal and prevents backflow of the molding material from the cavity space. After the pressure holding step, the cooling step is started. In the cooling step, the molding material in the cavity space is solidified. A metering step may be performed during the cooling step to shorten the molding cycle.

In the measuring step, the measuring motor 45 is driven to rotate the screw 43 at a set rotation speed, and the molding material is sent forward along the spiral groove of the screw 43. Along with this, the molding material is gradually melted. As the liquid molding material is fed to the front of the screw 43 and accumulated in the front part of the cylinder 41, the screw 43 is retracted. The rotation speed of the screw 43 is detected using, for example, the encoder of the weighing motor 45. The encoder of the weighing motor 45 sends a signal indicating the detection result to the control device 90.

In the measuring process, the injection motor 46 may be driven to apply a set back pressure to the screw 43 in order to limit the sudden retreat of the screw 43. The back pressure on the screw 43 is detected using, for example, the pressure detector 47. The pressure detector 47 sends a signal indicating the detection result to the control device 90. When the screw 43 retracts to the set position and a predetermined amount of molding material is accumulated in front of the screw 43, the measuring process is completed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the control device 90 has a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 91, a storage medium 92 such as a memory, an input interface 93, and an output interface 94. The control device 90 executes various programs by causing the CPU 91 to execute the programs stored in the storage medium 92. Further, in the control device 90, the input interface 93 receives a signal from the outside, and the output interface 94 transmits the signal to the outside.

By the way, the injection device 40 has a cover 61 surrounding these in addition to the metering motor 45, the injection motor 46, the motion conversion mechanism 51, and the like. The cover 61, together with the base 62, forms a housing chamber 63 that houses the weighing motor 45, the injection motor 46, the motion conversion mechanism 51, and the like. The cover 61 has a ceiling portion 61 a that forms the upper surface of the accommodation chamber 63 and a side wall portion 61 b that forms the side surface of the accommodation chamber 63. A gap SP shown in FIG. 1 is formed between the side wall portion 61b of the cover 61 and the base 62.

A front support 65 that holds the rear end of the cylinder 41 and a rear support 66 that holds the injection motor 46 are fixed to the base 62. A pressure plate 67 that holds the weighing motor 45 is provided between the front support 65 and the rear support 66 so as to be movable back and forth.

The pressure plate 67 holds a bearing that rotatably supports the extension shaft of the screw 43. The rotational movement of the measuring motor 45 is transmitted to the screw 43 by a rotation transmission mechanism 68 such as a belt or a pulley. On the other hand, the rotary motion of the injection motor 46 is converted into the linear motion of the pressure plate 67 by the motion conversion mechanism 51 and then transmitted to the screw 43.

As described above, the motion converting mechanism 51 has the screw shaft 52 and the screw nut 53 screwed onto the screw shaft 52. The screw shaft 52 is fixed to the output shaft of the injection motor 46. On the other hand, the screw nut 53 is fixed to the pressure plate 67. By driving the injection motor 46 and rotating the screw shaft 52, the screw nut 53 moves forward and backward, and the screw 43 moves forward and backward together with the pressure plate 67.

Here, the center line of the screw shaft 52 may coincide with the center line of the injection motor 46 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, or may deviate from the center line. In the latter case, a rotation transmission mechanism such as a belt or a pulley is provided between the output shaft of the injection motor 46 and the screw shaft 52. Also in this case, when the injection motor 46 is driven, the screw shaft 52 rotates and the screw nut 53 moves back and forth, so that the pressure plate 67 moves back and forth.

The arrangement of the screw shaft 52 and the screw nut 53 is not limited to the above arrangement. As the arrangement of the screw shaft 52 and the screw nut 53, for example, in addition to the above arrangement, the following (1) arrangement and the following (2) arrangement may be mentioned.

(1) The rear extension shaft of the screw shaft 52 is spline-coupled to the output shaft of the injection motor 46, and the front extension shaft of the screw shaft 52 is rotatably supported by a bearing held by the pressure plate 67. .. On the other hand, the screw nut 53 is fixed to the rear support 66. When the injection motor 46 is driven, the screw shaft 52 rotates and advances and retreats, whereby the pressure plate 67 advances and retracts.

Here, the center line of the screw shaft 52 may coincide with the center line of the injection motor 46, or may deviate from the center line. In the latter case, a rotation transmission mechanism such as a belt or a pulley is provided between the output shaft of the injection motor 46 and the rotating member that is deviated from the output shaft, and the rear side of the screw shaft 52 is extended with respect to the rotating member. The axes are splined. Also in this case, when the injection motor 46 is driven, the screw shaft 52 rotates and advances and retreats, whereby the pressure plate 67 advances and retracts.

(2) The front extension shaft of the screw shaft 52 is fixed to the pressure plate 67. On the other hand, the screw nut 53 is fixed to the output shaft of the injection motor 46. When the injection motor 46 is driven, the screw nut 53 rotates and the screw shaft 52 moves back and forth, whereby the pressure plate 67 moves back and forth.

Here, the center line of the screw nut 53 may coincide with the center line of the injection motor 46, or may deviate from the center line. In the latter case, a rotation transmission mechanism such as a belt or a pulley is provided between the output shaft of the injection motor 46 and the screw nut 53. Also in this case, when the injection motor 46 is driven, the screw nut 53 rotates and the screw shaft 52 moves back and forth, so that the pressure plate 67 moves back and forth.

By the way, when a driving source such as the metering motor 45 or the injection motor 46 is driven, Joule heat or frictional heat is generated in the driving source. In addition, frictional heat is generated in the mechanical elements operated by the drive source, such as the rotation transmission mechanism 68 and the motion conversion mechanism 51. These heats are generated inside the cover 61.

Therefore, the injection device 40 of the present embodiment has the exhaust fan 69 that discharges the gas inside the cover 61 to the outside of the cover 61. Since the heat generated inside the cover 61 can be discharged and the inside of the cover 61 can be cooled, it is possible to suppress the temperature rise of the drive source and the mechanical elements. Therefore, the maintenance cost of the drive source and mechanical elements can be reduced.

Since the exhaust fan 69 discharges the gas inside the cover 61 to the outside of the cover 61, the gas may be blown from the outside of the cover 61 to the inside, or the gas may be sucked from the inside of the cover 61 to the outside. In the latter case, since the high temperature gas inside the cover 61 is directly discharged, the temperature inside the cover 61 can be efficiently lowered.

The exhaust fan 69 operates under the control of the control device 90. Since the heat generation amount and the permissible temperature per unit time of the drive source and the mechanical elements are different from each other, the controller 90 may operate the exhaust fan 69 during the cycle operation of repeatedly manufacturing the molded product. The higher the temperature inside the cover 61, the higher the rotation speed of the exhaust fan 69 may be set. The controller 90 may stop the exhaust fan 69 when a predetermined time has elapsed after the end of the cycle operation.

The exhaust fan 69 is attached to the ceiling portion 61 a of the cover 61. The mounting position of the exhaust fan 69 is not particularly limited. For example, the exhaust fan 69 may be attached to the side wall portion 61b of the cover 61 or the like. Further, the exhaust fan 69 may be attached to the base 62.

The exhaust fan 69 sucks the gas inside the cover 61 to the outside of the cover 61 through, for example, the opening of the cover 61. The opening of the cover 61 serves as a gas discharge part. The air pressure inside the cover 61 decreases due to the discharge of the gas, and the gas outside the cover 61 is introduced into the cover 61 due to the pressure difference. The introduction portion may be, for example, a gap SP formed between the side wall portion 61b of the cover 61 and the base 62.

The exhaust fan 69 may blow the gas outside the cover 61 into the cover 61 through the opening of the cover 61. The opening of the cover 61 serves as a gas inlet. The introduction of the gas raises the atmospheric pressure inside the cover 61, and the gas inside the cover 61 is discharged to the outside of the cover 61 due to the pressure difference. The discharge portion may be, for example, a gap SP formed between the side wall portion 61b of the cover 61 and the base 62.

The gas introduction part and the gas discharge part are preferably located at opposite positions. The gas introduction portion and the gas discharge portion are formed in the cover 61, an opening formed in the base 62, as well as a gap SP formed between the side wall portion 61b of the cover 61 and the base 62. It may be a department. The base 62 may be formed in a frame shape.

Although the number of the exhaust fans 69 is one in the figure, it may be plural. In this case, both the exhaust fan 69 that sucks the gas inside the cover 61 to the outside of the cover 61 and the exhaust fan 69 that blows the gas outside the cover 61 into the inside of the cover 61 may be used.

The injection device 40 includes a motion conversion mechanism cover 71 that surrounds the motion conversion mechanism 51, and a motion conversion mechanism cooling fan 72 that cools the motion conversion mechanism 51. The motion conversion mechanism cooling fan 72 discharges the gas inside the motion conversion mechanism cover 71 to the outside of the motion conversion mechanism cover 71. Since the heat generated inside the motion converting mechanism cover 71 can be discharged and the inside of the motion converting mechanism cover 71 can be cooled, the temperature rise of the motion converting mechanism 51 can be suppressed.

The motion conversion mechanism cooling fan 72 discharges the gas inside the motion conversion mechanism cover 71 to the outside of the motion conversion mechanism cover 71. Therefore, the motion conversion mechanism cooling fan 72 may suck the gas from the inside of the motion conversion mechanism cover 71 to the outside. Gas may be blown into the mechanism cover 71 from the outside. In the latter case, the gas can be directly applied to the motion conversion mechanism 51, and the temperature of the motion conversion mechanism 51 can be efficiently lowered.

The motion conversion mechanism cooling fan 72 operates under the control of the controller 90. For example, the control device 90 operates the motion conversion mechanism cooling fan 72 when the temperature of the motion conversion mechanism 51 exceeds the set temperature. The higher the temperature of the motion converting mechanism 51, the higher the rotation speed of the motion converting mechanism cooling fan 72 may be set. On the other hand, the controller 90 stops the motion conversion mechanism cooling fan 72 when the temperature of the motion conversion mechanism 51 is equal to or lower than the set temperature.

As the motion conversion mechanism cooling fan 72, either one or both of one that sucks the gas inside the motion conversion mechanism cover 71 to the outside and one that blows the gas outside the motion conversion mechanism cover 71 into the inside thereof is used. Used. The motion conversion mechanism cover 71 is provided with a gas introduction part and a gas discharge part. Radiating fins may be provided on the outer periphery of the motion converting mechanism cover 71.

The motion conversion mechanism cooling fan 72 is attached to the motion conversion mechanism cover 71. The number and mounting position of the motion conversion mechanism cooling fans 72 are not particularly limited. Further, the number and attachment positions of the motion conversion mechanism covers 71 are not particularly limited.

By the way, the motion conversion mechanism cover 71 and the motion conversion mechanism cooling fan 72 are surrounded by the cover 61.

Therefore, the exhaust fan 69 discharges the gas discharged from the inside of the motion converting mechanism cover 71 by the motion converting mechanism cooling fan 72 to the outside of the cover 61. Thereby, the gas discharged from the inside of the motion conversion mechanism cover 71 can be prevented from returning to the inside of the motion conversion mechanism cover 71 again. Therefore, the inside of the motion conversion mechanism cover 71 can be efficiently cooled, and the operation time of the motion conversion mechanism cooling fan 72 can be shortened.

The motion converting mechanism cover 71 corresponds to the machine element cover described in the claims, and the motion converting mechanism cooling fan 72 corresponds to the machine element cooling fan described in the claims. The mechanical element surrounded by the mechanical element cover is not limited to the motion converting mechanism 51, and may be, for example, the rotation transmitting mechanism 68, as long as it generates frictional heat.

The injection device 40 includes a weighing motor cover 75 that surrounds the weighing motor 45, and a weighing motor cooling fan 76 that cools the weighing motor 45. The metering motor cooling fan 76 discharges the gas inside the metering motor cover 75 to the outside of the metering motor cover 75. Since the heat generated inside the weighing motor cover 75 can be discharged and the inside of the weighing motor cover 75 can be cooled, the temperature rise of the weighing motor 45 can be suppressed.

Since the metering motor cooling fan 76 discharges the gas inside the metering motor cover 75 to the outside of the metering motor cover 75, the metering motor cooling fan 76 may suck the gas from the inside of the metering motor cover 75 to the outside, or the outside of the metering motor cover 75. Gas may be blown into the interior from. In the latter case, the gas can be directly applied to the metering motor 45, and the temperature of the metering motor 45 can be efficiently lowered.

The metering motor cooling fan 76 operates under the control of the controller 90. For example, the control device 90 operates the metering motor cooling fan 76 when the temperature of the metering motor 45 exceeds the set temperature. The higher the temperature of the metering motor 45, the larger the rotation speed of the metering motor cooling fan 76 may be set. On the other hand, the controller 90 stops the metering motor cooling fan 76 when the temperature of the metering motor 45 is equal to or lower than the set temperature.

As the metering motor cooling fan 76, one or both of one that sucks the gas inside the metering motor cover 75 to the outside and one that blows the gas outside the metering motor cover 75 into the inside is used. The metering motor cover 75 is provided with a gas introduction part and a gas discharge part. Radiating fins may be provided on the outer periphery of the weighing motor cover 75.

The metering motor cooling fan 76 is attached to the metering motor cover 75. The number and mounting position of the metering motor cooling fan 76 are not particularly limited.

By the way, the metering motor cover 75 and the metering motor cooling fan 76 are surrounded by the cover 61.

Therefore, the exhaust fan 69 discharges the gas discharged from the inside of the measuring motor cover 75 by the measuring motor cooling fan 76 to the outside of the cover 61. Thereby, the gas discharged from the inside of the metering motor cover 75 can be prevented from returning to the inside of the metering motor cover 75 again. Therefore, the inside of the metering motor cover 75 can be efficiently cooled, and the operating time of the metering motor cooling fan 76 can be shortened.

The metering motor cover 75 corresponds to the drive source cover described in the claims, and the metering motor cooling fan 76 corresponds to the drive source cooling fan described in the claims. The drive source surrounded by the drive source cover is not limited to the metering motor 45, and may be, for example, the injection motor 46.

The injection device 40 includes an injection motor cover 77 that surrounds the injection motor 46 and an injection motor cooling fan 78 that cools the injection motor 46. The injection motor cooling fan 78 discharges the gas inside the injection motor cover 77 to the outside of the injection motor cover 77. Since the heat generated inside the injection motor cover 77 can be discharged and the inside of the injection motor cover 77 can be cooled, the temperature rise of the injection motor 46 can be suppressed.

Since the injection motor cooling fan 78 discharges the gas inside the injection motor cover 77 to the outside of the injection motor cover 77, the injection motor cooling fan 78 may suck the gas from the inside of the injection motor cover 77 to the outside or the outside of the injection motor cover 77. A gas may be blown into the interior from. In the latter case, gas can be directly applied to the injection motor 46, and the temperature of the injection motor 46 can be efficiently reduced.

The injection motor cooling fan 78 operates under the control of the controller 90. For example, the control device 90 operates the injection motor cooling fan 78 when the temperature of the injection motor 46 exceeds the set temperature. The higher the temperature of the injection motor 46, the higher the rotation speed of the injection motor cooling fan 78 may be set. On the other hand, the control device 90 stops the injection motor cooling fan 78 when the temperature of the injection motor 46 is equal to or lower than the set temperature.

As the injection motor cooling fan 78, one or both of one that sucks the gas inside the injection motor cover 77 to the outside and one that blows the gas outside the injection motor cover 77 into the inside thereof are used. The injection motor cover 77 is provided with a gas introduction part and a gas discharge part. Radiating fins may be provided on the outer periphery of the injection motor cover 77.

The injection motor cooling fan 78 is attached to the injection motor cover 77. The number and mounting position of the injection motor cooling fan 78 are not particularly limited.

By the way, the injection motor cover 77 and the injection motor cooling fan 78 are surrounded by the cover 61.

Therefore, the exhaust fan 69 discharges the gas discharged from the inside of the injection motor cover 77 by the injection motor cooling fan 78 to the outside of the cover 61. Thereby, the gas discharged from the inside of the injection motor cover 77 can be prevented from returning to the inside of the injection motor cover 77 again. Therefore, the inside of the injection motor cover 77 can be efficiently cooled, and the operating time of the injection motor cooling fan 78 can be shortened.

The injection motor cover 77 corresponds to the drive source cover described in the claims, and the injection motor cooling fan 78 corresponds to the drive source cooling fan described in the claims.

As shown in FIG. 3, the exhaust fan 69 may be arranged above the screw nut 53 when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction and the front-rear direction. When the screw nut 53 moves back and forth, the exhaust fan 69 may be temporarily arranged above the screw nut 53. The gas discharged from the motion conversion mechanism cover 71 surrounding the screw nut 53 can be efficiently discharged to the outside of the cover 61.

As shown in FIG. 3, the exhaust fan 69 may be disposed on the screw nut 53 side of the front and rear sides of the metering motor 45 when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction and the front and rear direction. When the metering motor 45 and the screw nut 53 move forward and backward, the exhaust fan 69 may be temporarily arranged on the screw nut 53 side of the front and rear sides of the metering motor 45. The gas discharged from the motion conversion mechanism cover 71 surrounding the screw nut 53 by the exhaust fan 69 can be efficiently discharged to the outside of the cover 61 while avoiding the metering motor 45.

When the screw nut 53 is attached to the rear end surface of the pressure plate 67 as shown in FIG. 3, the exhaust fan 69 is arranged on the rear side of the pressure plate 67 in a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction and the front-rear direction. You may When the pressure plate 67 moves back and forth, the exhaust fan 69 may be temporarily disposed behind the pressure plate 67.

The screw nut 53 may be attached to the front end surface of the pressure plate 67. In this case, the exhaust fan 69 may be arranged on the front side of the pressure plate 67 in a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction and the front-rear direction. .. When the pressure plate 67 moves back and forth, the exhaust fan 69 may be temporarily arranged in front of the pressure plate 67.

The exhaust fan 69 may be provided in the center of the pair of motion conversion mechanisms 51 when viewed from above, as shown in FIG. The gas discharged from the motion conversion mechanism cover 71 can be efficiently discharged to the outside of the cover 61.

The number of motion conversion mechanisms 51 is not particularly limited. When the number of the motion converting mechanism 51 is one, the exhaust fan 69 may overlap with the motion converting mechanism 51 when viewed from above.

As shown in FIG. 1, the exhaust fan 69 may be provided behind the cylinder 41 and above the center line of the cylinder 41. The exhaust fan 69 overlaps the center line of the cylinder 41 when viewed from above. Since the heat generation sources such as the metering motor 45, the injection motor 46, and the motion conversion mechanism 51 are concentrated around the center line of the cylinder 41, the heat discharge efficiency is good. When the motion converting mechanism 51 is symmetrically arranged around the center line of the cylinder 41, the exhaust fan 69 is provided between the pair of motion converting mechanisms 51.

Further, the exhaust fan 69 may be provided further behind the metering motor 45 provided behind the cylinder 41 and in front of the injection motor 46 and above the center line of the cylinder 41. Since there is almost nothing that blocks the flow of gas behind the metering motor 45 and in front of the injection motor 46, the gas easily flows, and the heat discharge efficiency is good.

Although the embodiment and the like of the injection device have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and the like, and various modifications and improvements are made within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims.

The refrigerant evaporates by receiving the heat generated in the accommodation chamber 63, is transported to the outside of the room, and is compressed, so that the temperature of the refrigerant becomes higher. The high-temperature refrigerant is cooled by air or the like, condensed, and then conveyed again indoors.

Although the metering motor 45 moves back and forth together with the pressure plate 67 in the above embodiment, it may be fixed to the front support 65. In the latter case, the pressure plate 67 is unnecessary. In the latter case, since the metering motor 45 does not have to be moved back and forth to move the screw 43 forward and backward, acceleration at the start of forward movement of the screw 43 can be increased and the molding cycle can be shortened.

When the metering motor 45 is fixed to the front support 65, the metering motor 45, the injection motor 46 and the screw 43 may be provided coaxially. A bearing holder is splined to the output shaft of the metering motor 45. The bearing holder holds a bearing that rotatably supports the extension shaft on the front side of the screw shaft 52. The rear extension shaft of the screw shaft 52 is spline-coupled to the output shaft of the injection motor 46. The screw nut 53 is fixed to the rear support 66. The rotary motion of the injection motor 46 is converted into the rotary linear motion of the screw shaft 52, converted into the linear motion of the bearing holder, and then transmitted to the screw 43. The rotational movement of the measuring motor 45 is transmitted to the screw 43 via the bearing holder.

Although the injection device 40 is an in-line screw system in the above embodiment, it may be a pre-plastic system. The pre-plastic type injection device supplies the molding material melted in the plasticizing cylinder to the injection cylinder, and injects the molding material from the injection cylinder into the mold device. A screw is rotatably or rotatably and movably arranged in the plasticizing cylinder, and a plunger is movably and movably arranged in the injection cylinder. In either case, the screw corresponds to the injection member described in the claims.
