Description

射出成形機 Injection molding machine

本發明係有關一種射出成形機。 The present invention relates to an injection molding machine.

射出成形機藉由將熔融之樹脂填充於模具裝置的模穴空間並使其固化而製造成形品。模具裝置由固定模及可動模構成,合模時在固定模與可動模之間形成模穴空間。模具裝置的閉模、合模及開模藉由合模裝置進行。作為合模裝置,提出了模開閉動作中使用線型馬達,而在合模動作中使用電磁鐵之合模裝置(例如參考專利文獻1)。 The injection molding machine produces a molded article by filling and solidifying the molten resin in the cavity space of the mold device. The mold device is composed of a fixed mold and a movable mold, and a cavity space is formed between the fixed mold and the movable mold during mold clamping. The mold closing, mold clamping, and mold opening of the mold apparatus are performed by a mold clamping device. As a mold clamping device, a mold clamping device using a linear motor in a mold opening and closing operation and an electromagnet in a mold clamping operation has been proposed (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

若向電磁鐵的線圈供給直流電流,則在形成有電磁鐵之第1模塊與和第1模塊隔著間隔而配設之第2模塊之間產生吸附力,藉由該吸附力產生合模力。由第1模塊及第2模塊構成合模力產生機構。 When a direct current is supplied to the coil of the electromagnet, an adsorption force is generated between the first module in which the electromagnet is formed and the second module disposed at a distance from the first module, and the clamping force is generated by the adsorption force. . The first module and the second module constitute a mold clamping force generation mechanism.

當合模開始時等變更合模力時,向電磁鐵線圈的供給電流發生變化,由電磁鐵產生之磁場發生變化。渦流向消除該變化的方向流經第1模塊及第2模塊,從而產生鐵損及熱。另外,若產生渦流則不會立即產生與供給電流對應之合模力而響應性變差,因此供給電流變得過大,產生多 餘的熱量。因此,為減少渦流而研究由層疊多個電磁鋼板而成之層疊鋼板構成第1模塊及第2模塊。 When the mold clamping force is changed when the mold clamping is started, the supply current to the electromagnet coil changes, and the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet changes. The eddy current flows through the first module and the second module in a direction to eliminate the change, thereby generating iron loss and heat. In addition, if eddy current is generated, the mold clamping force corresponding to the supply current is not immediately generated and the responsiveness is deteriorated, so that the supply current becomes excessively large and generates a large amount. The rest of the heat. Therefore, in order to reduce eddy currents, it is studied to form a first module and a second module by laminating steel sheets in which a plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets are laminated.

圖中,10為射出成形機,Fr為射出成形機10的框架,Gd為由鋪設於該框架Fr上之2根導軌構成之導引件,11為固定壓板(第1固定件)。固定壓板11可設置於能夠沿著向模開閉方向(圖中為左右方向)延伸之導引件Gd移動之位置調整基座Ba上。另外,固定壓板11亦可載置於框架Fr上。 In the figure, 10 is an injection molding machine, Fr is a frame of the injection molding machine 10, Gd is a guide member composed of two rails laid on the frame Fr, and 11 is a fixed pressure plate (first fixing member). The fixed platen 11 can be disposed on the position adjustment base Ba which is movable along the guide member Gd extending in the mold opening and closing direction (the horizontal direction in the drawing). In addition, the fixed platen 11 can also be placed on the frame Fr.

與固定壓板11對置而配設可動壓板(第1可動件)12。可動壓板12固定於可動基座Bb上,可動基座Bb能夠在導引件Gd上行走。藉此,可動壓板12能夠相對於固定壓板11向模開閉方向移動。 A movable platen (first movable member) 12 is disposed to face the fixed platen 11. The movable platen 12 is fixed to the movable base Bb, and the movable base Bb can travel on the guide Gd. Thereby, the movable platen 12 can be moved in the mold opening and closing direction with respect to the fixed platen 11.

與固定壓板11隔著預定間隔且與固定壓板11平行地配設後壓板(第2固定件)13。後壓板13經由腳部13a固定於框架Fr上。 A rear platen (second fixture) 13 is disposed in parallel with the fixed platen 11 at a predetermined interval from the fixed platen 11. The rear platen 13 is fixed to the frame Fr via the leg portion 13a.

4根作為連結構件之繫桿14(圖中僅示出4根繫桿14中的2根)架設於固定壓板11與後壓板13之間。固定壓板11經由繫桿14固定於後壓板13上。沿著繫桿14進退自如地配設可動壓板12。用於使繫桿14貫穿之圖未示的 導孔是形成於與可動壓板12的繫桿14所對應的部位。另外,亦可形成缺口部來代替導孔。 Four tie bars 14 (only two of the four tie bars 14 are shown in the drawing) are spanned between the fixed platen 11 and the rear platen 13 . The fixed platen 11 is fixed to the rear platen 13 via a tie rod 14. The movable platen 12 is disposed to move forward and backward along the tie rod 14. The figure for inserting the tie rod 14 is not shown. The guide hole is formed at a portion corresponding to the tie rod 14 of the movable platen 12. In addition, a notch portion may be formed instead of the via hole.

在繫桿14的前端部(圖中為右端部)形成圖未示之螺紋部,將螺母n1螺合緊固於該螺紋部,藉此繫桿14的前端部固定於固定壓板11上。繫桿14的後端部固定於後壓板13上。 A threaded portion (not shown) is formed at a front end portion (right end portion in the drawing) of the tie rod 14, and the nut n1 is screwed and fastened to the screw portion, whereby the front end portion of the tie rod 14 is fixed to the fixed pressure plate 11. The rear end portion of the tie rod 14 is fixed to the rear pressure plate 13.

在固定壓板11上安裝有固定模15,在可動壓板12上安裝有可動模16,固定模15與可動模16隨著可動壓板12的進退而接觸分離,從而進行閉模、合模及開模。另外,隨著進行合模,在固定模15與可動模16之間形成圖未示之模穴空間,熔融之樹脂填充於模穴空間。由固定模15及可動模16構成模具裝置19。 A fixed die 15 is mounted on the fixed platen 11, and a movable die 16 is mounted on the movable platen 12. The fixed die 15 and the movable die 16 are contacted and separated with the advancement and retreat of the movable platen 12, thereby performing mold closing, mold clamping, and mold opening. . Further, as the mold clamping is performed, a cavity space (not shown) is formed between the fixed mold 15 and the movable mold 16, and the molten resin is filled in the cavity space. The mold device 19 is constituted by the fixed mold 15 and the movable mold 16.

吸附板22與可動壓板12平行地配設。吸附板22經由安裝板27固定於滑動基座Sb上,滑動基座Sb能夠在導引件Gd上行走。藉此,吸附板22在比後壓板13更靠後方進退自如。吸附板22可由軟磁性材料形成。另外,亦可沒有安裝板27,此時,吸附板22直接固定於滑動基座Sb上。 The adsorption plate 22 is disposed in parallel with the movable platen 12. The suction plate 22 is fixed to the slide base Sb via a mounting plate 27, and the slide base Sb can travel on the guide Gd. Thereby, the suction plate 22 can move forward and backward more than the rear pressure plate 13. The adsorption plate 22 may be formed of a soft magnetic material. Further, the mounting plate 27 may not be provided, and in this case, the suction plate 22 is directly fixed to the sliding base Sb.

桿39配設為在後端部與吸附板22連結而在前端部與可動壓板12連結。因此,桿39在閉模時隨著吸附板22的前進而前進並使可動壓板12前進,在開模時隨著吸附板22的後退而後退並使可動壓板12後退。因此,在後壓板13的中央部分形成用於使桿39貫穿之貫穿孔41。 The rod 39 is disposed to be coupled to the suction plate 22 at the rear end portion and coupled to the movable platen 12 at the front end portion. Therefore, the rod 39 advances with the advancement of the suction plate 22 at the time of mold closing, and advances the movable platen 12, and retreats with the retraction of the suction plate 22 at the time of mold opening, and the movable platen 12 retreats. Therefore, a through hole 41 for penetrating the rod 39 is formed in the central portion of the rear platen 13.

線型馬達28為用於使可動壓板12進退之模開閉驅動 部,例如配設在連結於可動壓板12之吸附板22與框架Fr之間。另外,線型馬達28亦可配設於可動壓板12與框架Fr之間。 The linear motor 28 is a mold opening and closing drive for moving the movable platen 12 forward and backward. The portion is disposed, for example, between the suction plate 22 coupled to the movable platen 12 and the frame Fr. Further, the linear motor 28 may be disposed between the movable platen 12 and the frame Fr.

線型馬達28具備定子29及轉子31。定子29形成為在框架Fr上與導引件Gd平行且與滑動基座Sb的移動範圍對應。轉子31形成為在滑動基座Sb的下端與定子29對置且遍及預定範圍。 The linear motor 28 includes a stator 29 and a rotor 31. The stator 29 is formed to be parallel to the guide Gd on the frame Fr and to correspond to the range of movement of the slide base Sb. The rotor 31 is formed to face the stator 29 at a lower end of the slide base Sb and over a predetermined range.

轉子31具備磁芯34及線圈35。磁芯34具備朝向定子29突出之複數個磁極齒33。複數個磁極齒33在與模開閉方向平行之方向上以預定間距排列,線圈35捲繞於各磁極齒33上。 The rotor 31 includes a magnetic core 34 and a coil 35. The magnetic core 34 has a plurality of magnetic pole teeth 33 that protrude toward the stator 29. The plurality of magnetic pole teeth 33 are arranged at a predetermined pitch in a direction parallel to the opening and closing direction of the mold, and the coil 35 is wound around the respective magnetic pole teeth 33.

定子29具備未圖示之磁芯及設置於該磁芯上之圖未示之複數個永久磁鐵。複數個永久磁鐵在與模開閉方向平行之方向上以預定間距排列,轉子31側的磁極被N極和S極交替磁化。 The stator 29 includes a magnetic core (not shown) and a plurality of permanent magnets (not shown) provided on the magnetic core. The plurality of permanent magnets are arranged at a predetermined pitch in a direction parallel to the opening and closing direction of the mold, and the magnetic poles on the side of the rotor 31 are alternately magnetized by the N pole and the S pole.

若向轉子31的線圈35供給預定電流,則由藉由在線圈35中流動之電流形成之磁場和藉由永久磁鐵形成之磁場的相互作用使轉子31進退。隨此,使吸附板22及可動壓板12進退,從而進行閉模及開模。線型馬達28依檢測轉子31的位置之位置感測器53的檢測結果被反饋控制,以使轉子31的位置成為目標值。 When a predetermined current is supplied to the coil 35 of the rotor 31, the rotor 31 is advanced and retracted by the interaction of the magnetic field formed by the current flowing in the coil 35 and the magnetic field formed by the permanent magnet. Accordingly, the adsorption plate 22 and the movable platen 12 are advanced and retracted to perform mold closing and mold opening. The linear motor 28 is feedback-controlled based on the detection result of the position sensor 53 that detects the position of the rotor 31 so that the position of the rotor 31 becomes a target value.

另外,本實施形態中,在定子29配設永久磁鐵,在轉子31配設線圈35,但是亦可在定子配設線圈,在轉子配設永久磁鐵。此時,線圈不會隨著線型馬達28的驅動 而移動,因此能夠輕鬆地進行用於向線圈供給電力的配線。 Further, in the present embodiment, a permanent magnet is disposed in the stator 29, and the coil 35 is disposed in the rotor 31. However, a coil may be disposed in the stator, and a permanent magnet may be disposed in the rotor. At this time, the coil does not drive with the linear motor 28 Since it moves, wiring for supplying electric power to a coil can be performed easily.

另外,作為模開閉驅動部,亦可使用旋轉馬達及將旋轉馬達的旋轉運動轉換為直線運動之滾珠螺杆機構或者液壓缸或空氣壓缸等流體壓缸等來代替線型馬達28。 Further, as the mold opening/closing drive unit, a rotary motor and a ball screw mechanism that converts the rotational motion of the rotary motor into a linear motion or a fluid pressure cylinder such as a hydraulic cylinder or an air cylinder may be used instead of the linear motor 28.

電磁鐵單元37在後壓板13與吸附板22之間產生吸附力。該吸附力經由桿39傳遞至可動壓板12,在可動壓板12與固定壓板11之間產生合模力。 The electromagnet unit 37 generates an adsorption force between the rear platen 13 and the adsorption plate 22. This suction force is transmitted to the movable platen 12 via the rod 39, and a mold clamping force is generated between the movable platen 12 and the fixed platen 11.

電磁鐵單元37由形成於後壓板13側之電磁鐵49及形成於吸附板22側之吸附部51構成。吸附部51形成於吸附板22的吸附面(前端面)的預定部份,例如吸附板22中包圍桿39且與電磁鐵49對置之部份。並且,在後壓板13的吸附面(後端面)的預定部份,例如在桿39周圍形成容納電磁鐵49的線圈48之線圈槽45。在比線圈槽45更靠內側形成磁芯46。繞磁芯46捲繞線圈48。線圈48的軸向成為X方向。在後壓板13中除磁芯46以外的部份形成磁軛47。 The electromagnet unit 37 is composed of an electromagnet 49 formed on the side of the rear platen 13 and an adsorption portion 51 formed on the side of the adsorption plate 22. The adsorption portion 51 is formed in a predetermined portion of the adsorption surface (front end surface) of the adsorption plate 22, for example, a portion of the adsorption plate 22 that surrounds the rod 39 and faces the electromagnet 49. Further, a predetermined portion of the suction surface (rear end surface) of the rear platen 13, for example, a coil groove 45 for accommodating the coil 48 of the electromagnet 49 is formed around the rod 39. The magnetic core 46 is formed inside the coil groove 45. The coil 48 is wound around the core 46. The axial direction of the coil 48 is in the X direction. A portion other than the magnetic core 46 in the rear platen 13 is formed with a yoke 47.

另外,本實施形態中,與後壓板13分開形成電磁鐵49,與吸附板22分開形成吸附部51,但亦可將電磁鐵作為後壓板13的一部份形成,並將吸附部作為吸附板22的一部份形成。並且,亦可相反配置電磁鐵和吸附部。例如,可在吸附板22側設置電磁鐵49,在後壓板13側設置吸附部51。並且,電磁鐵49的線圈48的數量亦可為複數個。 Further, in the present embodiment, the electromagnet 49 is formed separately from the rear platen 13, and the adsorption portion 51 is formed separately from the adsorption plate 22, but the electromagnet may be formed as a part of the rear platen 13, and the adsorption portion may be used as an adsorption plate. A part of 22 is formed. Further, the electromagnet and the adsorption portion may be arranged in reverse. For example, the electromagnet 49 can be provided on the side of the adsorption plate 22, and the adsorption portion 51 can be provided on the side of the rear platen 13. Further, the number of the coils 48 of the electromagnet 49 may be plural.

電磁鐵單元37中,若向線圈48供給電流,則電磁鐵49被驅動並對吸附部51進行吸附,從而能夠產生合模力。由形成有電磁鐵49之後壓板(第1模塊)13和形成有吸附部51之吸附板(第2模塊)22構成合模力產生機構。 In the electromagnet unit 37, when a current is supplied to the coil 48, the electromagnet 49 is driven and the adsorption portion 51 is adsorbed, whereby a mold clamping force can be generated. The platen (first module) 13 and the suction plate (second module) 22 on which the adsorption unit 51 is formed are formed by the electromagnet 49, and constitute a mold clamping force generating mechanism.

控制部60例如具備CPU及記憶體等,藉由CPU對記錄於記憶體之控制程序進行處理,從而控制線型馬達28的動作及電磁鐵49的動作。控制部60與檢測合模力之合模力感測器55連接,可依合模力感測器55的檢測結果設定向電磁鐵49的線圈48的供給電流值,以便產生預定合模力。合模力感測器55亦可為例如檢測與合模力相應地伸長之繫桿14的應變(伸長量)之應變感測器。另外,作為合模力感測器55能夠使用例如檢測施加於桿39上之荷重之測力感測器等荷重感測器及檢測電磁鐵49的磁場之磁感測器,合模力感測器55的種類可以為多種多樣的。 The control unit 60 includes, for example, a CPU, a memory, and the like, and controls the operation of the linear motor 28 and the operation of the electromagnet 49 by the CPU processing the control program recorded in the memory. The control unit 60 is connected to the mold clamping force sensor 55 that detects the mold clamping force, and can set the supply current value to the coil 48 of the electromagnet 49 in accordance with the detection result of the mold clamping force sensor 55 to generate a predetermined mold clamping force. The mold clamping force sensor 55 may also be, for example, a strain sensor that detects the strain (elongation amount) of the tie rod 14 that is elongated in accordance with the mold clamping force. Further, as the mold clamping force sensor 55, for example, a load sensor such as a load cell for detecting a load applied to the rod 39 and a magnetic sensor for detecting a magnetic field of the electromagnet 49 can be used, and the mold clamping force is sensed. The type of the device 55 can be varied.

接著,對上述結構的射出成形機10的動作進行說明。射出成形機10的各種動作在基於控制部60的控制下進行。 Next, the operation of the injection molding machine 10 having the above configuration will be described. The various operations of the injection molding machine 10 are performed under the control of the control unit 60.

控制部60控制閉模製程。控制部60在第2圖的狀態(開模狀態)下驅動線型馬達28來使可動壓板12前進。如第1圖所示,可動模16與固定模15相抵接來結束閉模製程。此時,在後壓板13與吸附板22之間,亦即電磁鐵49與吸附部51之間形成間隙δ。另外,與合模力相比,閉模所需之力量十分小。 The control unit 60 controls the mold closing process. The control unit 60 drives the linear motor 28 in the state (opening state) of Fig. 2 to advance the movable platen 12. As shown in Fig. 1, the movable mold 16 abuts against the fixed mold 15 to end the mold closing process. At this time, a gap δ is formed between the rear platen 13 and the adsorption plate 22, that is, between the electromagnet 49 and the adsorption portion 51. In addition, the force required to close the mold is very small compared to the clamping force.

接著,控制部60控制合模製程。控制部60以第1圖 的狀態(閉模狀態),向電磁鐵49的線圈48供給直流電流。這樣一來,藉由在線圈48中流動之直流電流在線圈48內產生磁場且磁芯46被磁化,從而磁場被強化。並且,在隔著預定間隙對置之電磁鐵49與吸附部51之間產生吸附力,該吸附力經由桿39傳遞至可動壓板12,從而在可動壓板12與固定壓板11之間產生合模力。熔融之樹脂填充於合模狀態的模具裝置19的模穴空間並使其冷卻、固化而成為成形品。 Next, the control unit 60 controls the mold clamping process. Control unit 60 is shown in the first figure In the state (closed mode), a direct current is supplied to the coil 48 of the electromagnet 49. As a result, a magnetic field is generated in the coil 48 by the direct current flowing in the coil 48 and the core 46 is magnetized, whereby the magnetic field is strengthened. Further, an adsorption force is generated between the electromagnet 49 opposed to the predetermined gap and the adsorption portion 51, and the adsorption force is transmitted to the movable platen 12 via the rod 39, thereby generating a mold clamping force between the movable platen 12 and the fixed platen 11. . The molten resin is filled in the cavity space of the mold device 19 in the mold clamping state, and is cooled and solidified to be a molded article.

接著,控制部60對電磁鐵49的磁芯46進行消磁。藉由向線圈48供給與磁化時相反的直流電流來進行磁芯46的消磁。消磁製程中,可多次反轉直流電流的方向。藉由磁芯46的消磁使至開模開始時的等待時間縮短。 Next, the control unit 60 demagnetizes the magnetic core 46 of the electromagnet 49. Degaussing of the magnetic core 46 is performed by supplying a direct current opposite to the magnetization to the coil 48. In the degaussing process, the direction of the DC current can be reversed multiple times. The demagnetization of the magnetic core 46 shortens the waiting time until the start of the mold opening.

接著,控制部60控制開模製程。控制部60向線型馬達28的線圈35供給電流,使可動壓板12後退。可動模16後退而進行開模。開模之後,圖未示之頂出裝置從可動模16推出成形品。如此獲得成形品。 Next, the control unit 60 controls the mold opening process. The control unit 60 supplies a current to the coil 35 of the linear motor 28 to move the movable platen 12 backward. The movable mold 16 is retracted to perform mold opening. After the mold is opened, the ejector unit (not shown) pushes out the molded article from the movable mold 16. The molded article is thus obtained.

但是,若模具裝置19被更換,則模具裝置19的厚度改變且閉模結束時形成於後壓板13與吸附板22之間之間隙δ改變。若間隙δ改變,則吸附力改變,且合模力改變。 However, if the mold device 19 is replaced, the thickness of the mold device 19 is changed and the gap δ formed between the rear platen 13 and the suction plate 22 is changed when the mold closing is completed. If the gap δ changes, the adsorption force changes and the mold clamping force changes.

因此,射出成形機10具備依模具裝置19的厚度調整可動壓板12與吸附板22之間的間隔之模厚調整部56。模厚調整部56由模厚調整用馬達57、齒輪58及螺母59等構成。螺母59相對於吸附板22旋轉自如且不可進退地 被支撐。形成於貫穿吸附板22的中央部份之桿39的後端部之螺紋軸部43與螺母59螺合。運動方向轉換部藉由螺母59及螺紋軸部43構成,該運動方向轉換部中,螺母59的旋轉運動轉換成桿39的直進運動。螺母59的外周面形成未圖示之齒輪,該齒輪與安裝在模厚調整用馬達57的輸出軸57a之齒輪58嚙合。模厚調整用馬達57例如為伺服馬達,包括檢測輸出軸57a的旋轉次數之編碼器部57b。 Therefore, the injection molding machine 10 includes a mold thickness adjusting portion 56 that adjusts the interval between the movable platen 12 and the suction plate 22 in accordance with the thickness of the mold device 19. The mold thickness adjusting portion 56 is composed of a mold thickness adjusting motor 57, a gear 58, a nut 59, and the like. The nut 59 rotates freely relative to the suction plate 22 and is not retractable. Be supported. The threaded shaft portion 43 formed at the rear end portion of the rod 39 penetrating the central portion of the suction plate 22 is screwed to the nut 59. The moving direction changing portion is constituted by a nut 59 and a threaded shaft portion 43 in which the rotational motion of the nut 59 is converted into a linear motion of the rod 39. The outer peripheral surface of the nut 59 is formed with a gear (not shown) that meshes with a gear 58 that is attached to the output shaft 57a of the mold thickness adjusting motor 57. The mold thickness adjustment motor 57 is, for example, a servo motor, and includes an encoder portion 57b that detects the number of rotations of the output shaft 57a.

若模厚調整馬達57旋轉,則螺母59旋轉,桿39相對於吸附板22進退,吸附板22與可動壓板12之間的間隔被調整。因此,能夠將閉模結束時的間距δ調整為最佳值。模厚調整馬達57依編碼器部57b的檢測結果被反饋控制,以使間距δ達到所希望的值。 When the mold thickness adjustment motor 57 rotates, the nut 59 rotates, the rod 39 advances and retreats with respect to the suction plate 22, and the interval between the suction plate 22 and the movable platen 12 is adjusted. Therefore, the pitch δ at the end of the mold closing can be adjusted to an optimum value. The mold thickness adjustment motor 57 is feedback-controlled in accordance with the detection result of the encoder portion 57b so that the pitch δ reaches a desired value.

A plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets 93 are fastened between 74 and 74. The inner connecting rod 63 is configured not to protrude to the outside of the two inner supporting plates 73 and 74. (2) A plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets 91 and 92 are arranged between the inner side support plates 73 and 74 and the outer side support plates 71 and 72, and the inner side support plates 73 are connected to the outer side connecting rods 61 and 62 of the plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets 91 and 92. 74 and the support plates 71, 72, a plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets 91, 92 are fastened between the inner support plates 73, 74 and the outer support plates 71, 72. The outer connecting rod 61 is configured not to protrude to the inner side of the two inner supporting plates 73 and 74. (3) The outer support plates 71 and 72, the inner support plates 73 and 74, and the connecting rod 75 are fixed by bolts 77.

本實施形態中,外側層疊鋼板81、82向層疊方向(Y方向)被外側支撐板71、72與內側支撐板73、74夾住,內側層疊鋼板83、84向層疊方向(Y方向)被2個內側支撐板73、74夾住。藉此,能夠抑制因合模而引起的複數個電磁鋼板91~93的分離。複數個電磁鋼板91~93未以焊接而相連,因此不存在因焊接部的固化或脆化等的劣化、 焊接部的殘留應力、焊接引起的變形等,而具有高耐久性和高信賴性。 In the present embodiment, the outer laminated steel sheets 81 and 82 are sandwiched by the outer support plates 71 and 72 and the inner support plates 73 and 74 in the stacking direction (Y direction), and the inner laminated steel sheets 83 and 84 are placed in the stacking direction (Y direction). The inner support plates 73, 74 are clamped. Thereby, the separation of the plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets 91 to 93 due to the mold clamping can be suppressed. Since the plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets 91 to 93 are not connected by welding, there is no deterioration due to curing or embrittlement of the welded portion, It has high durability and high reliability due to residual stress in the welded portion and deformation due to welding.

內側支撐板73、74夾在外側層疊鋼板81、82與內側層疊鋼板83、84之間,如第4圖(b)所示,內側支撐板73、74的內部形成有使調溫流體流動之流路74。能夠對外側層疊鋼板81、82及內側層疊鋼板83、84雙方進行調溫,能夠從內側對後壓板13進行有效的調溫。內側支撐板73、74比電磁鋼板厚且容易加工,因此容易形成流路73d、74d。 The inner support plates 73 and 74 are interposed between the outer laminated steel plates 81 and 82 and the inner laminated steel plates 83 and 84. As shown in Fig. 4(b), the inner support plates 73 and 74 are internally formed with a temperature-regulating fluid. Flow path 74. Both of the outer laminated steel sheets 81 and 82 and the inner laminated steel sheets 83 and 84 can be tempered, and the rear pressure plate 13 can be effectively tempered from the inside. Since the inner side support plates 73 and 74 are thicker than the electromagnetic steel sheets and are easy to process, the flow paths 73d and 74d are easily formed.

在內側支撐板73、74的流路73d、74d中流動之調溫流體可以為冷卻水等冷媒。能夠冷卻後壓板13,並能夠抑制電磁鐵49的線圈48的過熱。 The tempering fluid flowing through the flow paths 73d and 74d of the inner side support plates 73 and 74 may be a refrigerant such as cooling water. The rear platen 13 can be cooled, and overheating of the coil 48 of the electromagnet 49 can be suppressed.

貫穿孔41被2個內側層疊鋼板83、84及向層疊方向(Y方向)夾住2個內側層疊鋼板83、84之2個內側支撐板73、74劃分。該貫穿孔41為用於使桿39貫穿之孔。貫穿孔41由調溫板亦即內側支撐板73、74形成,因此能夠進行桿39的調溫。 The through hole 41 is divided by two inner laminated steel sheets 83 and 84 and two inner support plates 73 and 74 that sandwich the two inner laminated steel sheets 83 and 84 in the stacking direction (Y direction). The through hole 41 is a hole through which the rod 39 is inserted. Since the through hole 41 is formed by the temperature regulating plates, that is, the inner side support plates 73 and 74, the temperature adjustment of the rod 39 can be performed.

以層疊方向觀察(Y方向觀察),向層疊方向(Y方向)貫穿內側層疊鋼板83、84之內側連結桿63與向層疊方向(Y方向)貫穿向Y方向和內側層疊鋼板83、84隔著間隔配設之外側層疊鋼板81、82之外側連結桿61、62,配設於不同位置(不重合之位置)。以電磁鋼板的層疊方向觀察的各個位置上配設有作為支撐棒的連結桿61~63,因此外側支撐板71、72或內側支撐板73、74不易傾倒,在合 模時後壓板13不易彎曲。因此,在合模時保持均勻的後壓板13與吸附板22之間的間距,產生均勻的吸附力。 When viewed in the stacking direction (viewed in the Y direction), the inner connecting rods 63 penetrating the inner laminated steel sheets 83 and 84 in the laminating direction (Y direction) are inserted in the Y direction and the inner laminated steel sheets 83 and 84 in the laminating direction (Y direction). The outer side joining bars 61 and 62 of the outer side laminated steel plates 81 and 82 are disposed at intervals, and are disposed at different positions (positions that do not overlap). Since the connecting rods 61 to 63 as the supporting rods are disposed at the respective positions viewed in the stacking direction of the electromagnetic steel sheets, the outer supporting plates 71 and 72 or the inner supporting plates 73 and 74 are not easily poured. The platen 13 is not easily bent after the molding. Therefore, the uniform gap between the rear platen 13 and the adsorption plate 22 is maintained at the time of mold clamping, resulting in uniform adsorption force.

從電磁鋼板的層疊方向觀察,外側連結桿61配置於與外側連結桿62相同的位置,但是亦可配置於不同之位置。 The outer connecting rod 61 is disposed at the same position as the outer connecting rod 62 as viewed in the stacking direction of the electromagnetic steel sheets, but may be disposed at different positions.

如第4圖(a)所示,外側支撐板71、72的內部形成有使調溫流體流動之流路71d、72d。能夠對外側層疊鋼板81、82進行調溫,能夠從外側對後壓板13進行調溫。外側支撐板71、72比電磁鋼板厚且容易加工,而容易形成流路71d、72d。 As shown in Fig. 4(a), flow paths 71d and 72d through which the temperature control fluid flows are formed inside the outer support plates 71 and 72. The outer laminated steel sheets 81 and 82 can be tempered, and the rear pressure plate 13 can be tempered from the outside. The outer support plates 71 and 72 are thicker than the electromagnetic steel sheets and are easy to process, and the flow paths 71d and 72d are easily formed.

在外側支撐板71、72的流路71d、72d中流動之調溫流體可以為冷卻水等冷媒。能夠冷卻後壓板13,並能夠抑制電磁鐵49的線圈48的過熱。可從與內側支撐板73、74的流路73d、74d相同的供給源向外側支撐板71、72的流路71d、72d供給調溫流體。 The tempering fluid flowing through the flow paths 71d and 72d of the outer support plates 71 and 72 may be a refrigerant such as cooling water. The rear platen 13 can be cooled, and overheating of the coil 48 of the electromagnet 49 can be suppressed. The temperature control fluid can be supplied to the flow paths 71d and 72d of the outer support plates 71 and 72 from the same supply source as the flow paths 73d and 74d of the inner support plates 73 and 74.
