Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate time loss and improve productivity, by a method wherein a time when molten resin in a cylinder is compressed sufficiently and the advancement of a screw becomes difficult is secured by the shape of the moving acceleration of the screw upon preliminary compression effected by the screw while a nozzle valve is opened when the acceleration has arrived at a predetermined negative value. CONSTITUTION:A screw 4 is secured to a piston rod 3, therefore, a projection body 11, equipped with a rack gear 11a, is secured to the proper position of the piston rod 3 and a pinion 12 is meshed with the rack gear 11a to convert the movement of the screw 4 into the rotation of the pinion 12. The rotation of the pinion 12 is differentiated by a differentiator 13 and a nozzle valve 9 is opened by a driving machine 14 when the differentiated value has become a given negative value. When injection has been finished, the nozzle valve 9 is closed and the pressure of operating oil, which is applied on an injection cylinder, is released while the screw 4 is rotated and material resin is supplied from a hopper 7 into the cylinder 5.

Press to the left of the figure. A screw (4) is coaxially connected to the left end of the piston rod (3), and the screw (4)

In the injection molding machine of the above type, when the screw (4) is rotated with the nozzle valve (9) closed, the conveyor action causes the molten plastic to melt in the empty space in front of the screw (4) (to the left in the figure). Then, the screw (4) retreats further and the cylinder (5) is filled with molten plastic. To prevent the molten plastic that has accumulated in front of the screw (4) from leaking to the right, check pulp αQ is usually used.
is installed. When the necessary molten resin has accumulated in the cylinder (5), the nozzle valve (9) is opened to push out the molten resin into the mold. However, if the pressure of the resin accumulated in the space in front of the screw (4) is not high enough, this resin will leak to the right side of the screw in the figure, and some of the resin will be directed toward the mold. It will not be sent to.

このことを避けるために、例えば、特開昭52−151

In order to avoid this, for example, JP-A-52-151
In Publication No. 352, instead of using the position where the screw retreated to the right as the reference position, the screw is moved to the left and the position of the screw when the material pressure reaches a required constant value is used as the reference position, and the injection process is started. We are proposing a method to control injection pressure, injection speed, etc.

However, with this method, the time it takes for the material pressure to reach the required constant value varies depending on the type of resin, compression pressure, resin volume to be compressed, temperature, etc., so it takes a long time to stabilize and stop. If the timer to be set is fixed, it is necessary to set a sufficiently long time. Therefore, when molding is performed under conditions where the time from compression to stop is short, wasted time occurs, the molding operation cycle becomes longer, and production efficiency deteriorates.

Furthermore, in the method described in JP-A-51-78568, if the oil pressure reaches a predetermined value while the screw is moving forward during resin compression (for example, when the viscosity of the molten resin is high), the oil pressure may reach a predetermined value. ), and in this state it is impossible to know whether the molten resin is compressed in a sufficiently stable manner.

It increases gradually between l and b1. During this period, the screw advances slightly to the left in FIG. 1 (referred to as the pre-compression period). During this pre-compression period, while the screw (4) is moving backward to the right in FIG. 1, the material being supplied from the hopper (7) into the cylinder (5) is compressed and reduced, and at the same time its pressure increases. The moving speed of the screw during the same period is as shown in figure (b). Therefore, the acceleration of screw movement during this period is as shown in Figure 9.
