FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a pressure detection pin 21 attached to a resin injection mold, and FIG. This pressure detection pin (hereinafter, simply referred to as a detection pin) 21 is composed of an operating pin 22, a base holder 26, a cap holder 31, and a detection member 36 housed in the base holder 26. The operating pin 22 has a main body 23 having a predetermined diameter and a small-diameter rod portion 24 having a predetermined length formed on the distal end side of the main body portion 23. A circular trapezoidal operating portion 25 is slidably received in the cap holder 31. The base holder 26 is provided with the detecting member 3
6 is formed into a bottomed cylindrical body by a bottom portion 27 and a cylindrical edge portion 28 so that the connection line 44 can be inserted through the bottom portion 27 and the cylindrical edge portion 28. A screw portion 30 screwed to the cap holder 31 is screwed into the portion. The cap holder 31 is provided with the operating pin 2.
And a guide portion 33 having a guide hole 34 for slidably guiding the main body 23 of the operating pin 22. The lower portion of the cylindrical body 32 On the outer periphery, a screw portion 35 that is screwed with the screw portion 30 of the base holder 26 is screwed. The detecting member 36 is a strain gauge type load cell. The detecting member 36 can be accommodated in the base holder 26 as shown in FIG.
And a removable bottom plate 39 to form a sealed cylindrical body having a hollow portion 40. A pressure receiving portion 41 projects in a convex shape at the center of the upper surface of the top plate 38. A gauge 42 is attached. This strain gauge 42
Is a metal foil resistor R1, bonded to a disc-shaped resin substrate 43, for example, which can be attached to the back surface of the top plate 38 as shown in FIG.
R2, R3, R4 are configured as a bridge circuit by
You. The conductor d of the covered wire D of the connection wire 44 is connected between the metal foil resistors R1, R2, R3, R4, the strain gauge 42 is attached to the back surface of the top plate 38, and the connection wire 44 is connected to the cylindrical portion 37. The detection member 36 is formed by being pulled out to the outside while being further sealed by the seal member 45, and the bottom plate 39 is fixed. The detection member 36 thus formed is housed in the base holder 26, the connection line 44 is drawn out from the groove 29, and the main body 23 of the operating pin 22 is inserted into the guide hole 34 of the cap holder 31. Then, the operating portion 25 is housed in the cylindrical body 32 and the base holder 2
The detection pins 21 are formed by screwing the screw portions 30 and 35 of the cap holder 6 and the cap holder 31. Further, in a state where the screw portions 30 and 35 are screwed together, the operating portion 2 of the operating pin 22 is
5 is in contact with the pressure receiving portion 41 of the detection member 36,
The lower four edges of the cap holder 31 are in contact with and fixed to the upper four sides of the detection member 36. The detection pin 21 formed as described above is inserted into the insertion hole 3 of the movable mold 1A of the resin injection mold 1 composed of the movable mold 1A and the fixed mold 1B as in the conventional case. The tip of the small-diameter rod portion 24 is provided so as to constitute a part of the shape of each cavity 2 formed on the mating surface. The connection line 44 is connected to a monitor circuit (not shown). When the molten resin is injected into the cavity 2 and filled in the detection pins 21 arranged in each cavity 2 as described above, the small-diameter rod portion 24 forming a part of the shape of the cavity 2 is formed. The resin pressure acts on the tip of the actuator, and an operating force F that pushes the operating pin 22 downward acts. Since this operating force F is in contact with the convex pressure receiving portion 41 formed on the top plate 38 of the detecting member 36 accommodated in the base holder 26, the operating portion 25 on the base side of the operating pin 22 is in contact with the pressure receiving portion. The top plate 38 is pressed through the portion 41. This allows
The top plate 38 is distorted, and the distortion is sensed by the metal foil resistors R1, R2, R3, R4 formed in a lattice shape, and an electric signal is sent to a monitor circuit by a bridge circuit to measure a conversion load (pressure). The resin pressure in the cavity 2 can be detected. Therefore, if the prescribed resin pressure for the cavity 2 is set on the monitor circuit side and an external display for confirming the excess or deficiency is installed in connection with this, if the resin pressure is less than the prescribed pressure, the cavity 2 The resulting product has a high possibility of underfill failure or sink failure, and if it is excessive, it can be detected that the possibility of burr failure is large, and by adjusting the subsequent injection pressure In addition, the occurrence of defective products can be prevented. In addition, detection pin 2
Since the tip of the cavity 1 constitutes a part of the cavity 2, the cavity 2 can be attached to the cavity 2 regardless of the shape and size thereof. By providing it in an easy position, the service can be sufficiently performed. In particular, the detection pin 21 is connected to the detection member 3
6. A guide hole 3 through which an operation pin 22 composed of a bottomed cylindrical base holder 26 for accommodating the actuator 6 and a main body 23 having a small-diameter rod portion 24 at the tip and an operation portion 25 on the base side is inserted.
4 and a cap holder 31 mainly including a cylindrical edge portion 28 for accommodating the operating portion 25.
