You may do it.
次に本実施形態の射出成形機１１の制御方法、とりわけ型締装置１３の制御方法について説明する。最初に型開完了位置Ａにおいて可動金型１７から前回の成形品が取出されると次に、制御装置３０からサーボアンプ３５を介して型開閉手段のサーボモータ３１に信号が送られて型閉開始する（ｓ１）。型閉工程の開始とともに可動盤１８等は、型閉完了位置Ｂに向けてサーボモータ３１による位置制御により移動され（ｓ２）、型閉完了位置Ｂに到達すると停止される（ｓ３）。そして型閉完了後にサーボモータ３１は、電気的にサーボロック状態とされ（ｓ４）、可動盤１８および可動金型１７は型閉完了位置Ｂにて位置保持制御される。この際に成形金型がバネ金型である場合は、図４の模式図に示されるように型閉完了位置Ｂの手前から固定金型１５の一部と可動金型１７の一部が当接され、可動金型１７の型閉方向Ｃへの前進に対してバネ２０による型開方向Ｏへの反発力ｆ１が働き始める。しかしながら型閉完了位置Ｂまで可動盤１８および可動金型１７を移動させる際のサーボモータ３１による前進方向への駆動力Ｆ２とサーボロック状態の保持力Ｆ３は、それぞれの可動金型１８の位置におけるバネ２０による型開方向Ｏへの反発力ｆ１よりも大きく設定されている。 Next, a control method of the injection molding machine 11 of this embodiment, particularly a control method of the mold clamping device 13 will be described. First, when the previous molded product is taken out from the movable mold 17 at the mold opening completion position A, a signal is sent from the control device 30 to the servo motor 31 of the mold opening / closing means via the servo amplifier 35 to close the mold. Start (s1). With the start of the mold closing process, the movable platen 18 and the like are moved by the position control by the servo motor 31 toward the mold closing completion position B (s2) and stopped when reaching the mold closing completion position B (s3). After the mold closing is completed, the servo motor 31 is electrically in a servo-locked state (s4), and the movable platen 18 and the movable mold 17 are controlled to be held at the mold closing completion position B. In this case, when the molding die is a spring die, as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. 4, a part of the fixed die 15 and a part of the movable die 17 are applied from before the mold closing completion position B. The repulsive force f <b> 1 in the mold opening direction O by the spring 20 starts to work as the movable mold 17 advances in the mold closing direction C. However, when the movable platen 18 and the movable mold 17 are moved to the mold closing completion position B, the driving force F2 in the forward direction by the servo motor 31 and the holding force F3 in the servo lock state are at the position of each movable mold 18. The repulsive force f1 in the mold opening direction O by the spring 20 is set larger.
次に型締工程を開始するに際して型閉完了位置Ｂ（結合位置）においてハーフナット４０の係止歯がタイバ２２の係止部３９に係止される（ｓ５）。型締工程のうちの昇圧工程では制御装置３０からの信号（ソレノイドを作動させるものの他、パイロット圧を用いたものを含む）により切換弁２５の切換えが行われ、型締シリンダ２１の型締側油室２６に作動油が送られ型締昇圧を開始する（ｓ６）。型締シリンダ２１のロッドであるタイバ２２が図１において右方向に移動し、最初の段階ではハーフナット４０の係止歯とタイバ２２の係止部３９が係止された際に存在していた隙間を無くす。そして前記隙間が無くなると型締シリンダ２１の型締力Ｆ１が直接可動盤１８を介して可動金型１７に伝達される。また同時に図４に示されるように型締シリンダ２１の型締側油室２６の作動油の油圧（型締手段の型締力Ｆ１）も顕著に上昇し始める。型締側油室２６の作動油の油圧は油圧センサ２９により検出されている。 Next, when starting the mold clamping process, the locking teeth of the half nut 40 are locked to the locking portion 39 of the tie bar 22 at the mold closing completion position B (joining position) (s5). In the pressurizing process of the mold clamping process, the switching valve 25 is switched by a signal from the control device 30 (including a solenoid pressure and a pilot pressure), and the mold clamping side of the mold clamping cylinder 21 is clamped. The hydraulic oil is sent to the oil chamber 26 and the mold clamping pressure is started (s6). The tie bar 22 which is a rod of the mold clamping cylinder 21 moves to the right in FIG. 1, and was present when the locking teeth of the half nut 40 and the locking portion 39 of the tie bar 22 were locked in the first stage. Remove gaps. When the gap is eliminated, the mold clamping force F1 of the mold clamping cylinder 21 is directly transmitted to the movable mold 17 via the movable platen 18. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 4, the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic oil in the mold clamping side oil chamber 26 of the mold clamping cylinder 21 (the mold clamping force F1 of the mold clamping means) starts to rise significantly. The hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic oil in the mold clamping side oil chamber 26 is detected by a hydraulic pressure sensor 29.
次に前記油圧センサ２９の油圧がサーボロック解除設定圧Ｐ１まで上昇したことが検出されたら（ｓ７）、サーボモータ３１のサーボロックを解除する（ｓ８）そして型締シリンダ２１の型締力Ｆ１のみにより、バネ金型のバネ２０の型開方向Ｏへの反発力ｆ１に対抗する。従って本実施形態では、サーボモータ３１による可動盤１８の位置保持の解除を型締力Ｆ１（油圧値×型締シリンダ２１の受圧面積×型締シリンダ２１の数）を検出して最適の型締力Ｆ１になった際に行うことができる。この際にサーボロック解除設定圧Ｐ１の設定値が高すぎると、可動盤１８等が型閉方向Ｃに移動されてしまいサーボモータ３１が保持位置へ戻そうと制御されることにより過負荷状態が発生する。また設定された油圧値が低すぎるとサーボモータ３１の位置保持制御を解除した際に、バネ金型のバネ２０の反発力ｆ１が勝って型開してしまうので、両者を勘案して前記サーボロック解除設定圧Ｐ１の設定・調整がなされる。そして型締力Ｆ１のみの検出によりサーボロックを解除するので設定および制御が容易である。また金型の熱膨張により検出位置がずれたとしても型締力Ｆ１のみによって制御を行うので演算補正等の必要がない。そして更に型締シリンダ２１は型締設定圧Ｐ２まで昇圧され（ｓ９）、型締設定圧Ｐ２が検出されると型締昇圧完了となる（ｓ１０）。 Next, when it is detected that the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic sensor 29 has increased to the servo lock release setting pressure P1 (s7), the servo lock of the servo motor 31 is released (s8) and only the mold clamping force F1 of the mold clamping cylinder 21 is released. This counteracts the repulsive force f1 of the spring mold spring 20 in the mold opening direction O. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the release of the position holding of the movable platen 18 by the servo motor 31 is detected by detecting the mold clamping force F1 (hydraulic value × pressure receiving area of the mold clamping cylinder 21 × number of mold clamping cylinders 21). This can be done when the force F1 is reached. At this time, if the set value of the servo lock release setting pressure P1 is too high, the movable platen 18 or the like is moved in the mold closing direction C, and the servo motor 31 is controlled to return to the holding position, thereby causing an overload state. Occur. If the set hydraulic pressure is too low, the repulsive force f1 of the spring 20 of the spring mold wins and the mold opens when the position holding control of the servo motor 31 is released. The unlocking set pressure P1 is set and adjusted. Since the servo lock is released only by detecting the mold clamping force F1, setting and control are easy. Even if the detection position shifts due to thermal expansion of the mold, control is performed only by the mold clamping force F1, so that there is no need for calculation correction or the like. The mold clamping cylinder 21 is further increased to the mold clamping set pressure P2 (s9), and when the mold clamping set pressure P2 is detected, the mold clamping pressure is completed (s10).
なお上記においてサーボモータ３１による位置保持制御の開始は、可動盤１８が型閉完了位置Ｂに到達した後、サーボモータ３１による位置保持制御を先に行ってからハーフナット４０の係止を行うことが望ましいが、ハーフナット４０の係止を先に行ってからでもよい。更に型閉完了位置Ｂの手前で一旦可動盤１８を停止してハーフナット４０を係止し、型締シリンダ２１による型締作動とサーボモータ３１による型閉制御（位置制御）を並行して継続するものでもよい。その場合サーボモータ３１が型閉完了位置Ｂに到達して型閉完了後にサーボロックを行い、更に型締シリンダ２１による昇圧を行い、型締シリンダ２１の型締側油室２６の油圧がサーボロック解除設定圧Ｐ１まで昇圧されたらサーボロックを解除しサーボフリーとする。また更に型開閉手段のサーボモータ３１による可動盤１８の移動中にハーフナット４０の係止を行うものなどでもよい。また型閉完了位置Ｂは、金型同士の一部が当接してバネ２０による反発力ｆ１が発生している位置であれば、パーティング面同士が当接している位置とは限らない。 In the above, the position holding control by the servo motor 31 is started after the movable platen 18 reaches the mold closing completion position B, and after the position holding control by the servo motor 31 is performed first, the half nut 40 is locked. However, the half nut 40 may be locked first. Further, before the mold closing completion position B, the movable platen 18 is temporarily stopped and the half nut 40 is locked, and the mold clamping operation by the mold clamping cylinder 21 and the mold closing control (position control) by the servo motor 31 are continued in parallel. You may do it. In that case, the servo motor 31 reaches the mold closing completion position B and servo lock is performed after the mold closing is completed. Further, the pressure is increased by the mold clamping cylinder 21, and the hydraulic pressure in the mold clamping side oil chamber 26 of the mold clamping cylinder 21 is servo-locked. When the pressure is raised to the release set pressure P1, the servo lock is released and the servo is free. Furthermore, the half nut 40 may be locked while the movable platen 18 is moved by the servo motor 31 of the mold opening / closing means. Further, the mold closing completion position B is not necessarily a position where the parting surfaces are in contact with each other as long as a part of the molds are in contact with each other and a repulsive force f1 by the spring 20 is generated.
型締工程のうちの増圧工程では、射出装置１４から成形金型のキャビティ４１に対して溶融樹脂が射出され、その後の型締工程のうちの冷却工程ではキャビティ４１内の溶融樹脂は冷却固化される。また冷却工程では射出装置１４の側では並行して次の射出のための溶融樹脂の計量が行われる。冷却工程が完了すると、型締装置１３の側では、制御装置３０から指令を送り型締工程のうちの圧抜工程（降圧工程）を開始する（ｓ１１）。型締手段の圧抜（降圧）は、切換弁２５を切換えて型締シリンダ２１の型締側油室２６内の作動油をドレン（タンク２３）に落とすことにより行う。または型締側油室２６内の作動油の圧力をコントロールしながら圧力を低下させる。そのことによりやがてバネ２０の反発力ｆ１が型締力Ｆ１を上回り固定金型１５から可動金型１７の離型が行われる。従って本実施形態では離型時に型締シリンダ２１の型開側油室２７に作動油を供給して離型を行う強力型開工程は実施していない。 In the pressure increasing step of the mold clamping process, the molten resin is injected from the injection device 14 into the cavity 41 of the molding die, and in the cooling process of the subsequent mold clamping process, the molten resin in the cavity 41 is cooled and solidified. Is done. In the cooling process, the molten resin for the next injection is measured in parallel on the injection device 14 side. When the cooling process is completed, the mold clamping device 13 sends a command from the control device 30 to start a pressure releasing process (step-down process) in the mold clamping process (s11). Pressure release (pressure reduction) of the mold clamping means is performed by switching the switching valve 25 to drop the hydraulic oil in the mold clamping side oil chamber 26 of the mold clamping cylinder 21 into the drain (tank 23). Alternatively, the pressure is lowered while controlling the pressure of the hydraulic oil in the mold clamping side oil chamber 26. As a result, the repulsive force f1 of the spring 20 eventually exceeds the mold clamping force F1, and the movable mold 17 is released from the fixed mold 15. Therefore, in this embodiment, the strong mold opening process which supplies hydraulic oil to the mold opening side oil chamber 27 of the mold clamping cylinder 21 at the time of mold release and performs mold release is not performed.
そして圧抜開始後（降圧開始後）の型締力Ｆ１（型締シリンダ２１の型締側油室２６の作動油の圧力）を検出して予め設定されたサーボロック開始設定圧力Ｐ３となったら（ｓ１２）、フリーとなっていたサーボモータ３１による位置保持制御を再び開始する。具体的にはサーボモータ３１を電気的にサーボロックして固定盤１６に対する可動盤１８の位置保持制御を行う（ｓ１３）。このように型締シリンダ２１の圧力が低下（型締力Ｆ１が低下）し始めてから、バネ金型のバネ２０の反発力ｆ１が型締力Ｆ１に勝る前に型開閉手段のサーボモータ３１により位置保持制御を行うことにより、バネ２０の反発力ｆ１により可動盤１８がハーフナット４０の離脱位置を超えて型開方向Ｏに更に移動してしまうことが防止できる。 Then, when the mold clamping force F1 (pressure of hydraulic oil in the mold clamping side oil chamber 26 of the mold clamping cylinder 21) after the start of pressure release (after the start of pressure reduction) is detected and the preset servo lock start pressure P3 is reached. (S12) The position holding control by the servo motor 31 that has become free is started again. Specifically, the servo motor 31 is electrically servo-locked to control the position of the movable platen 18 with respect to the fixed platen 16 (s13). Thus, after the pressure of the mold clamping cylinder 21 starts to decrease (the mold clamping force F1 decreases), before the repulsive force f1 of the spring 20 of the spring mold exceeds the mold clamping force F1, the servo motor 31 of the mold opening / closing means is used. By performing the position holding control, it is possible to prevent the movable platen 18 from further moving in the mold opening direction O beyond the separation position of the half nut 40 due to the repulsive force f1 of the spring 20.
そして次に型締側油室２６の油圧が常圧となったことが検出され、型締シリンダ２１による圧抜工程が完了したら（ｓ１４）、ハーフナット４０の駆動手段を作動させ、タイバ２２の係止部３９に係止されたハーフナット４０の係止歯を離脱させる（ｓ１５）。 Next, when it is detected that the hydraulic pressure in the mold clamping side oil chamber 26 has become a normal pressure and the depressurization step by the mold clamping cylinder 21 is completed (s14), the driving means of the half nut 40 is operated, and the tie bar 22 is operated. The locking teeth of the half nut 40 locked to the locking part 39 are released (s15).
そして型開閉手段のサーボモータ３１のサーボロックを解除するとともに型開を開始する（ｓ１６）。型開工程では可動盤１８および可動金型１７は、型開完了位置Ａに向けてサーボモータによる位置制御により移動され（ｓ１７）、型開完了位置Ａに到達すると停止される（ｓ１８）。そして上記したように型開完了位置Ａにおいて、可動金型１７の図示しないエジェクタが作動されて成形品の取出しが行われる。 Then, the servo lock of the servo motor 31 of the mold opening / closing means is released and the mold opening is started (s16). In the mold opening process, the movable platen 18 and the movable mold 17 are moved toward the mold opening completion position A by position control by a servo motor (s17), and are stopped when reaching the mold opening completion position A (s18). As described above, at the mold opening completion position A, the ejector (not shown) of the movable mold 17 is operated to take out the molded product.
上記の実施形態では、型閉工程および型締工程における型締昇圧開始後に型締力を検出して前記サーボ機構の位置保持制御を解除、または離型工程における型締手段の降圧開始後の型締力を検出して前記サーボ機構の位置保持制御を開始の両方を行うが、本発明では型閉工程および型締工程における型締昇圧開始後に型締力を検出して前記サーボ機構の位置保持制御を解除、または離型工程における型締手段の降圧開始後の型締力を検出して前記サーボ機構の位置保持制御の少なくとも一方を行うものでもよい。 In the above-described embodiment, the mold clamping force is detected after the mold closing process is started in the mold closing process and the mold clamping process, and the position holding control of the servo mechanism is released, or the mold after the mold clamping unit is started to be depressurized in the mold releasing process. Both the servo mechanism position holding control is started by detecting the clamping force. In the present invention, the mold clamping force is detected after the mold closing process and the mold clamping process are started, and the servo mechanism position is maintained. The servo mechanism position holding control may be performed by canceling the control or detecting the mold clamping force after the pressure reduction of the mold clamping means in the mold release process.
そして本発明は、型閉時に型開方向Ｏに反発力ｆ１が発生する金型の場合に特に有効である。上記の実施形態では、反発力ｆ１を離型に用いるバネ金型の例について記載したが、３枚プレート金型であってスプルを抜くために固定金型または中央プレートに設けたバネの反発力が用いられるものでもよい。更には型閉時にエジェクタピンおよびエジェクタプレートがバネの反発力を上回って後退し型開時にはバネの反発力によりエジェクタピンが前進するものでもよい。更に成形金型は、油圧シリンダにより型閉時に型開方向Ｏに反発力ｆ１が発生する金型であってもよく、ゴムや別の部材により型閉時に型開方向Ｏに反発力ｆ１が発生する金型であってもよい。またアンギュラピン等を用いて駒を移動させるものであって、型閉時に駒の自重や摩擦により型開方向Ｏに反発力ｆ１が発生するものでもよい。 The present invention is particularly effective in the case of a mold that generates a repulsive force f1 in the mold opening direction O when the mold is closed. In the above embodiment, the example of the spring mold using the repulsive force f1 for the mold release has been described, but the repulsive force of the spring provided in the fixed mold or the central plate for removing the sprue is a three-plate mold. May be used. Further, the ejector pin and the ejector plate may be retracted by exceeding the repulsive force of the spring when the mold is closed, and the ejector pin may be advanced by the repulsive force of the spring when the mold is opened. Further, the mold may be a mold that generates a repulsive force f1 in the mold opening direction O when the mold is closed by a hydraulic cylinder, and a repulsive force f1 is generated in the mold opening direction O when the mold is closed by rubber or another member. It may be a mold. Alternatively, the piece may be moved using an angular pin or the like, and a repulsive force f1 may be generated in the mold opening direction O due to the weight or friction of the piece when the mold is closed.

次に複合成形品の射出成形機５１を用いた型締装置の制御方法について説明する。本実施形態では、可動金型５９がバネ７６の取付けられたバネ金型となっており、可動金型５９と中間金型６２が型閉される際に型開方向Ｏへの反発力ｆ１が働く。最初の段階では、固定金型５３と中間金型６２、中間金型６２と可動金型５９の間がそれぞれ型開きされ、一方の金型間（例えば中間金型６２と可動金型５９の間）で成形された成形品が取出される。その際他方の金型間では１次成形品が成形され中間金型６２に貼り付いている。その後型開された状態で、中間盤５８に対して回転盤６１と回転金型６２が１８０°回転される。次に中間盤の型開閉手段６４と可動盤の型開閉手段６３が同時に作動して、中間盤５８と可動盤５７がそれぞれ型閉方向Ｃ（図５においては右方向）に移動し、固定盤５４と中間盤５８、中間盤５８と可動盤５７の間が型閉完了される。すると可動盤の型開閉手段６３のサーボモータ６６、中間盤の型開閉手段６４のサーボモータ７０をそれぞれサーボロックする。その後ハーフナット６０をタイバ５６の係止部７５に係止し、型締シリンダ５５の昇圧を開始する。そして型締シリンダ５５の型締側油室に作用する油圧を検出し、設定値（サーボロック解除設定圧Ｐ１）となったら可動盤の型開閉手段６３のサーボモータ６６、中間盤５８のサーボモータ７０のサーボロックをそれぞれ解除しサーボフリーとする。そして型締シリンダ５５が型締設定圧Ｐ２に昇圧されるまで増圧する。 Next, a control method of the mold clamping apparatus using the composite molded product injection molding machine 51 will be described. In this embodiment, the movable mold 59 is a spring mold to which a spring 76 is attached, and when the movable mold 59 and the intermediate mold 62 are closed, a repulsive force f1 in the mold opening direction O is generated. work. In the first stage, the fixed mold 53 and the intermediate mold 62, and the intermediate mold 62 and the movable mold 59 are opened, and one mold (for example, between the intermediate mold 62 and the movable mold 59) is opened. ) Is taken out. At this time, a primary molded product is formed between the other molds and attached to the intermediate mold 62. Thereafter, in a state where the mold is opened, the rotary plate 61 and the rotary die 62 are rotated by 180 ° with respect to the intermediate plate 58. Next, the mold opening / closing means 64 of the intermediate plate and the mold opening / closing means 63 of the movable platen are simultaneously operated to move the intermediate plate 58 and the movable platen 57 in the mold closing direction C (rightward in FIG. 5), respectively. The mold closing is completed between 54 and the intermediate board 58 and between the intermediate board 58 and the movable board 57. Then, the servo motor 66 of the mold opening / closing means 63 of the movable plate and the servo motor 70 of the mold opening / closing means 64 of the intermediate plate are respectively servo-locked. Thereafter, the half nut 60 is locked to the locking portion 75 of the tie bar 56, and the pressurization of the mold clamping cylinder 55 is started. Then, the hydraulic pressure acting on the mold clamping side oil chamber of the mold clamping cylinder 55 is detected, and when the set value (servo lock release setting pressure P1) is reached, the servo motor 66 of the mold opening / closing means 63 of the movable platen and the servomotor of the intermediate plate 58 are detected. Each servo lock of 70 is released to make the servo free. The mold clamping cylinder 55 is increased until the mold clamping pressure P2 is increased.
次に型締設定圧Ｐ２に昇圧完了したら第１の射出装置７３から固定金型５３と中間金型６２の間の第１のキャビティへ１次成形品用の樹脂を射出するとともに、第２の射出装置７４から中間金型６２と可動金型５９の間の第２のキャビティへ２次成形品用の樹脂を射出する。その後第１のキャビティの１次成形品と第２のキャビティで２次成形が追加された複合成形品の冷却工程を行う。冷却工程が完了して圧抜工程については図３の例と同様に、設定圧（サーボロック開始設定圧Ｐ３）まで低下したら可動盤の型開閉手段６３のサーボモータ６６、中間盤のサーボモータ７０をそれぞれサーボロックする。そしてサーボロックされた状態で圧抜を継続し、圧抜が完了したらハーフナット６０の離脱を行う。その後可動盤の型開閉手段６３のサーボモータ６６、中間盤のサーボモータ７０のサーボロックをそれぞれ解除するとともに、サーボモータ６６，７０を駆動して可動盤５７と中間盤５８をそれぞれ型開する。 Next, when the mold clamping set pressure P2 is increased, the resin for the primary molded product is injected from the first injection device 73 into the first cavity between the fixed mold 53 and the intermediate mold 62, and the second The resin for the secondary molded product is injected from the injection device 74 into the second cavity between the intermediate mold 62 and the movable mold 59. Thereafter, a cooling process is performed on the primary molded product in the first cavity and the composite molded product in which secondary molding is added in the second cavity. When the cooling process is completed and the depressurization process is reduced to the set pressure (servo lock start set pressure P3) as in the example of FIG. 3, the servo motor 66 of the mold opening / closing means 63 of the movable platen and the servomotor 70 of the intermediate plate. Servo lock each. Then, the depressurization is continued while the servo is locked, and when the depressurization is completed, the half nut 60 is detached. Thereafter, the servo locks of the servo motor 66 of the movable plate opening / closing means 63 and the servo motor 70 of the intermediate plate are released, and the servo motors 66 and 70 are driven to open the mold of the movable plate 57 and the intermediate plate 58, respectively.
前記成形においては可動金型５９にバネ金型が設けられているので、可動盤５７と中間盤５８の間に設けた中間盤の型開閉手段６４のサーボモータ７０によりサーボロックを行って型閉完了位置Ｂから型締手段により昇圧する際に、中間盤５８（回転盤６１）と可動盤５７の間がバネ金型の反発力ｆ１に負けて型開方向に開いてこないようにすることが可能となる。また図５の実施形態の変形例として、中央の中間盤が移動せずに、両側に可動盤が設けられたものでもよい。更に固定盤、回転しない中間盤、可動盤によるスタックモールドに近い型締装置であって、両方の金型でそれぞれ単色の成形品を同時に成形するものでもよい。 In the molding, since the movable mold 59 is provided with a spring mold, the mold is closed by performing a servo lock by the servo motor 70 of the mold opening / closing means 64 of the intermediate board provided between the movable board 57 and the intermediate board 58. When the pressure is increased by the mold clamping means from the completion position B, the space between the intermediate plate 58 (the rotary plate 61) and the movable plate 57 is prevented from opening in the mold opening direction due to the repulsive force f1 of the spring mold. It becomes possible. Further, as a modification of the embodiment of FIG. 5, a movable intermediate plate may be provided on both sides without moving the central intermediate plate. Further, it may be a mold clamping device close to a stack mold using a stationary platen, a non-rotating intermediate plate, and a movable platen, and each of the molds may simultaneously mold a single color molded product.
また上記図１または図５の例においてサーボロック解除やサーボロック開始(位置保持制御解除や位置保持制御開始)に用いる型締力Ｆ１の検出は、型締シリンダ２１，５５の型締側油室２６と型開側油室２７の両方の油圧を検出してその差圧を演算して利用するものでもよい。特にバネ２０，７６による反発力ｆ１が不足して離型時に型締シリンダ２１，５５による強力型開力も付加する場合は、前記の差圧を演算して利用することも想定される。また上記図１または図５の例において油圧を検出する以外に、タイバーセンサやロードセルを用いて型締力を検出するものでもよい。 Further, in the example of FIG. 1 or FIG. 5, the detection of the mold clamping force F1 used for releasing the servo lock and starting the servo lock (releasing position holding control and starting position holding control) is performed by the mold clamping side oil chambers of the mold clamping cylinders 21 and 55. It is also possible to detect and use the hydraulic pressures of both the hydraulic pressure chamber 26 and the mold opening side oil chamber 27. In particular, when the repulsive force f1 due to the springs 20 and 76 is insufficient and a strong mold opening force due to the clamping cylinders 21 and 55 is also added at the time of mold release, it is assumed that the differential pressure is calculated and used. In addition to detecting the hydraulic pressure in the example of FIG. 1 or FIG. 5, the mold clamping force may be detected using a tie bar sensor or a load cell.
また本発明の型締装置は、図６に示されるような垂直方向に型開閉を行う竪型の型締装置８１であってもよい。ハーフナット８２の係止時または係止後に自重により可動盤８３に型開方向の力が加わる竪型型締装置の場合、本発明が特に有効である。これら竪型型締装置８１の場合、取付けられる金型は、型閉時に型開方向に反発力ｆ１が発生するものでなくても本発明を用いることが有効となる。 The mold clamping device of the present invention may be a vertical mold clamping device 81 that opens and closes in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. The present invention is particularly effective in the case of a vertical mold clamping apparatus in which a force in the mold opening direction is applied to the movable plate 83 by its own weight when or after the half nut 82 is locked. In the case of these vertical mold clamping devices 81, it is effective to use the present invention even if the attached mold does not generate a repulsive force f1 in the mold opening direction when the mold is closed.

また上側の固定盤８４の四隅近傍にはタイバ９０がナット９１により鉛直方向に固定され、タイバ９０は可動盤８３と型締盤８７に挿通されている。またタイバ９０の中間部分から下側にはハーフナット８２が係止される係止部９２が周囲に形成されている。更にタイバ９０の下端側はベース盤９３に固定されている。上側の固定盤８４には型開閉手段のサーボモータ９４が固定され、サーボモータ９４の駆動軸にはボールねじ９６が連結され、型締盤８７または可動盤８３のいずれかの盤にはボールねじナット９５が固定されている。そしてボールねじナット９５にはボールねじ９６が挿通されている。竪型の型締装置８１を射出成形機９７として用いる場合、射出装置９８については、図６のように、金型の側面にノズルがタッチするように水平方向に取付けてもよいし、上固定盤の上側にノズルを下向きにして取付けてもよい。 Further, tie bars 90 are fixed in the vertical direction by nuts 91 near the four corners of the upper fixed plate 84, and the tie bar 90 is inserted through the movable plate 83 and the mold clamping plate 87. A locking portion 92 for locking the half nut 82 is formed around the middle portion of the tie bar 90 on the lower side. Further, the lower end side of the tie bar 90 is fixed to the base board 93. A servo motor 94 as a mold opening / closing means is fixed to the upper fixed plate 84, a ball screw 96 is connected to a drive shaft of the servo motor 94, and a ball screw 96 is attached to either the mold clamping plate 87 or the movable plate 83.

When the vertical mold clamping device 81 is used as the injection molding machine 97, the injection device 98 may be mounted horizontally so that the nozzle touches the side surface of the mold as shown in FIG. The nozzle may be mounted on the upper side of the board with the nozzle facing downward.
上記の竪型の型締装置８１を用いた型締制御について簡単に説明する。最初に型開閉手段のサーボモータ９４により可動盤８３と型締盤８７を上昇させ、型閉完了位置Ｂでサーボモータ９４を位置保持制御（サーボロック）する。そして次にハーフナット８２の係止歯をタイバ９０の係止部９２に係止する。そして次に型締手段であるトグル機構８８のサーボモータ８９を作動させる。すると型締盤８７に対して可動盤８３が上昇して型締力Ｆ１が発生する。型締力Ｆ１の検出は、型締用のサーボモータ８９のトルク、タイバ９０に設けた型締力センサ、盤や金型に設けたロードセル等のいずれかにより検出する。そして予め設定された型締力Ｆ１に到達したらサーボモータ９４の位置保持制御（サーボロック）を解除してサーボモータ９４をフリーにし、更に型締力Ｆ１を上昇させる。 The mold clamping control using the saddle mold clamping apparatus 81 will be briefly described. First, the movable plate 83 and the mold clamping plate 87 are lifted by the servo motor 94 of the mold opening / closing means, and the position holding control (servo lock) of the servo motor 94 is performed at the mold closing completion position B. Then, the locking teeth of the half nut 82 are locked to the locking portion 92 of the tie bar 90. Then, the servo motor 89 of the toggle mechanism 88 which is a mold clamping means is operated. Then, the movable platen 83 rises with respect to the mold clamping plate 87, and a mold clamping force F1 is generated. The mold clamping force F1 is detected by any of a torque of a servo motor 89 for mold clamping, a mold clamping force sensor provided on the tie bar 90, a load cell provided on a panel or a mold, and the like. Then, when the preset mold clamping force F1 is reached, the position holding control (servo lock) of the servo motor 94 is released to make the servo motor 94 free, and the mold clamping force F1 is further increased.
また型締工程における降圧工程では、降圧開始後の型締力Ｆ１を検出して予め設定されたサーボロック開始型締力まで下降されたらサーボモータ９４の位置保持制御（サーボロック）を開始し、降圧が完了または所定の型締力まで降圧されたらハーフナット８２の離脱を行う。そしてハーフナット８２の離脱後に位置保持制御（サーボロック）を解除するとともに、型開閉手段のサーボモータ９４を作動させて可動盤８３および型締盤８７を下降させて型開完了位置Ａへ移動させる。 In the pressure reducing process in the mold clamping process, the position holding control (servo lock) of the servo motor 94 is started when the mold clamping force F1 after the pressure reduction starts is detected and lowered to a preset servo lock starting mold clamping force. When the pressure reduction is completed or the pressure is reduced to a predetermined mold clamping force, the half nut 82 is removed. Then, after the half nut 82 is detached, the position holding control (servo lock) is released, and the servo motor 94 of the mold opening / closing means is operated to lower the movable plate 83 and the mold clamping plate 87 to move to the mold opening completion position A. .
また本発明の竪型の型締装置８１は、射出装置９８が設けられておらず、型開閉手段と型締手段の両方を有するプレス型締装置であってもよい。プレス型締装置の場合も可動盤８３等に自重落下方向の力が加わる場合は、本発明が有効となる。また一般的な下側の固定盤および固定金型に対して上側の可動盤および可動金型が下降するプレス型締装置であっても、バネ付金型等で型閉時に型開方向に向けて反発力ｆ１が発生する金型が取付けられるものでは本発明が有効となる。また金型自体が反発力ｆ１を有していなくても、型閉時（初期加圧時）にプレス金型に載置された成形物から型開方向に向けて反発力が発生する場合にも本発明が有効である。そしてこれらプレス型締装置は、スタンピング成形に用いられるものでもよい。 Further, the vertical mold clamping apparatus 81 of the present invention may be a press mold clamping apparatus having both the mold opening / closing means and the mold clamping means without the injection device 98 being provided. Even in the case of a press mold clamping device, the present invention is effective when a force in the direction of falling by its own weight is applied to the movable platen 83 or the like. In addition, even in a press mold clamping device in which the upper movable platen and movable die are lowered relative to the general lower fixed platen and fixed die, the mold opening direction is set when the die is closed with a spring-loaded die or the like. Thus, the present invention is effective when a mold that generates a repulsive force f1 is attached. Even when the mold itself does not have the repulsive force f1, when a repulsive force is generated in the mold opening direction from the molded product placed on the press mold when the mold is closed (at the time of initial pressurization). The present invention is also effective. These press mold clamping devices may be used for stamping molding.
本発明に用いられるサーボ機構の別の実施形態について記載する。図１等の実施形態では、サーボモータ３１は、電磁ブレーキ３４が設けられたサーボモータ３１が使用されていて、電磁ブレーキ３４は停電時や作動時の安全扉の開放時等に働くようになっている。しかしながら本発明のサーボモータ３１は電磁ブレーキが設けられていないものでもよい。前記等においてバネ金型等の反発力ｆ１が強力であってサーボロックによる力を上回る場合や停電時等の対策として、ボールねじにディスクブレーキ等を取付けるものでもよい。更には電磁ブレーキ３４付のサーボモータ３１を用いたものにおいて、型閉時や型開時の金型取付盤の位置保持制御を、電磁ブレーキ３４の作動のみ、または電磁ブレーキ３４の作動と電気的なサーボロックの併用により行ってもよい。 Another embodiment of the servo mechanism used in the present invention will be described. In the embodiment of FIG. 1 and the like, the servo motor 31 is used as the servo motor 31 provided with the electromagnetic brake 34, and the electromagnetic brake 34 works when the safety door is opened at the time of power failure or operation. ing. However, the servo motor 31 of the present invention may not be provided with an electromagnetic brake. In the above-described case, a disk brake or the like may be attached to the ball screw as a countermeasure when the repulsive force f1 of the spring mold or the like is strong and exceeds the force due to the servo lock or during a power failure. Furthermore, in the case of using the servo motor 31 with the electromagnetic brake 34, the position holding control of the mold mounting board at the time of mold closing or mold opening is performed only for the operation of the electromagnetic brake 34 or for the operation of the electromagnetic brake 34 and the electric operation. You may carry out by using together a servo lock.
更にサーボ機構は、型開閉シリンダとサーボバルブを使用したものでもよい。その場合、別途に設けた位置センサにより可動盤がハーフナット係止位置にあることが検出されたら、型開閉シリンダの駆動を停止し、サーボバルブにより可動盤の位置保持制御を行う。そしてその後型締シリンダにより昇圧開始後にサーボロック解除設定圧Ｐ１が検出されたらサーボバルブによる位置保持制御を解除する。またサーボバルブを使用したものも型締手段の圧抜開始後（降圧開始後）の型締力を検出してサーボバルブによる位置保持制御を開始することができる。 Further, the servo mechanism may use a mold opening / closing cylinder and a servo valve. In this case, when it is detected by the position sensor provided separately that the movable platen is at the half nut locking position, the driving of the mold opening / closing cylinder is stopped, and the position holding control of the movable platen is performed by the servo valve. Then, when the servo lock release set pressure P1 is detected after the mold clamping cylinder starts increasing the pressure, the position holding control by the servo valve is released. Also, a servo valve can be used to detect the mold clamping force after the mold clamping means begins to depressurize (after the pressure reduction starts) and to start position holding control by the servo valve.
本発明については、一々列挙はしないが、上記した本実施形態のものに限定されず、当業者が本発明の趣旨を踏まえて変更を加えたものについても、適用されることは言うまでもないことである。型締装置が射出成形に用いられる場合、材料は限定されず、射出圧縮成形、発泡成形、サンドイッチ成形、インサート成形などの成形を行うものも含まれる。また型締装置がプレス装置に使用される場合も、成形物は金属、樹脂等限定されない。 The present invention is not enumerated one by one, but is not limited to that of the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that those skilled in the art also apply modifications made in accordance with the spirit of the present invention. is there. When the mold clamping device is used for injection molding, the material is not limited, and includes materials that perform molding such as injection compression molding, foam molding, sandwich molding, and insert molding.
