- An injection step of the die casting machine which injects the molten metal into the cavity of the mold includes a low-speed injection step and a high-speed injection step subsequent thereto. In the high-speed injection step, it is necessary to inject and fill the mold with the molten metal, at an injection speed of a high speed by one order of magnitude faster than an injection speed of an injection molding machine molding plastic products. Therefore, in the injection step, as a drive source for injecting and filling the cavity of the mold with the molten metal by the advance movement of the injection plunger, an electric servomotor is adopted as the drive source in the low-speed injection step, and on the other hand, a high-speed injecting and filling of the mold is performed in the high-speed injection step, by a hydraulic pressure drive source or by adding driving forces of the hydraulic pressure drive source and the electric servomotor, since larger driving force is necessary. As ones related to such technique, for example, JP-A-2008-73708 (Patent Document 1) discloses a control method of a die casting machine, which advances an injection plunger using an electric servomotor as a drive source in a low-speed injection step, and advances the injection plunger by a cooperation of drive sources of the hydraulic pressure drive source and the electric servomotor in a high-speed injection step.

As such, in the high-speed injection step operated with the hydraulic pressure source having larger driving force than the electric servomotor as a main drive source, there were cases where the operation of the advance-retract control mechanism using the electric servomotor as the drive source cannot follow the operation of the hydraulic pressure control mechanism operated by the hydraulic pressure source, which makes it difficult to perform coordinate operation control, and also leads to a breaking of the advance-retract control mechanism. - The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problem, and aims to provide a die casting machine capable of avoiding damaging devices, by performing operation control of a hydraulic operating means and an electric servomotor that are adapted as drive sources in an injection step individually and not performing coordinate control thereof, when performing the injection step of injecting and filling a cavity of a mold with a molten metal, and a control method of the die casting machine.
- The present invention of a die casting machine is characterized by a die casting machine including a tubular injection sleeve to which a molten metal is supplied, and an injection plunger which advances and retracts inside the injection sleeve, in which an electric servomotor and a hydraulic operating means are used as a drive source for an injection step which injects and fills a cavity of a mold, which has been closed, with the molten metal by an advancing of the injection plunger, the die casting machine including: a control means which controls an operation of the electric servomotor and an operation of the hydraulic operating means separately, when injecting and filling the cavity of the mold, which has been closed, with the molten metal by the advancing of the injection plunger, during a low-speed injection step and during a high-speed injection step which is performed subsequent to the low-speed injection step and which is performed at higher speed than in the low-speed injection step, in the injection step.
- The present invention of the die casting machine is characterized in that the low-speed injection step which is performed immediately before the high-speed injection step includes a low-speed constant speed injection step of operating the injection plunger at a constant speed, using only the hydraulic operating means as the drive source, and a low-speed accelerated injection step of accelerating the injection plunger until it reaches the constant speed, and the electric servomotor and the hydraulic operating means are operated concurrently, from a starting point at which the low-speed accelerated injection step starts to an end point at which the low-speed accelerated injection step ends, and the injection plunger is accelerated until the end point of the low-speed accelerated injection step by a composite driving force of the electric servomotor and the hydraulic operating means.

Theinjection piston 14 inside theinjection cylinder 15 is advanced and retracted by a hydraulic pressure of an accumulator (hereinafter referred to as ACC) 22 configured in the hydraulic operating means 21. To the hydraulic operating means 21, there are configured acontrol valve 23 which is arranged on an oil path connecting theACC 22 with a first oil chamber of theinjection cylinder 15, which is provided with a direction changing function and a flow rate controlling function, and which performs a hydraulic control for advancing theinjection plunger 13 via theinjection piston 14, ahydraulic pump 26 which is arranged on the oil path connecting thecontrol valve 23 with atank 24 and which is driven by amotor 25, a hydraulicflow control valve 28 as the control valve which is arranged on the oil path connecting a second oil chamber of theinjection cylinder 15 with thetank 24, and apressure sensor 27 which is arranged in the second oil chamber of theinjection cylinder 15, and the like. - Further, to the

FIG. 2 , as a series of molding steps for manufacturing a molded object, a low-speed injection step, a high-speed injection step, a pressure-intensified injection step, a mold-opening and following step, and a retracting step are performed in series. In the low-speed injection step, the hydraulic operating means 21 uses theACC 22 as a hydraulic pressure drive source, and although acceleration is performed immediately after starting, advances the injection plunger 13 together with theinjection piston 14 at a constant low-speed, and in the high-speed injection step subsequent thereto, advances the injection plunger 13 together with theinjection piston 14 at high-speed, from a high-speed switch position from the low-speed injection step to the high-speed injection step. Further, theelectric servomotor 17 as the electric drive source advances the injection plunger 13 together with theinjection piston 14 at a low-speed with acceleration, in a low-speed accelerated injection step at an anterior half of the low-speed injection step, until reaching a preliminarily set setting position (a setting position determined in view of the state of the product being molded, and a position at which the state of the molten metal stabilizes) which is an end point of the low-speed accelerated injection step, and in a low-speed constant speed injection step at a latter half of the low-speed injection step, theelectric servomotor 17 is made to stand-by as a preparation for the pressure-intensified injection step. - Subsequently, in the pressure-intensified injection step, the operation of the
injection plunger 13 using theACC 22 as the hydraulic pressure drive source is stopped and pressure is maintained, and on the other hand, theelectric servomotor 17 as the electric drive source advances the injection plunger 13 together with theinjection piston 14 at a constant speed. - After the pressure-intensified injection step is finished, the
electric servomotor 17 as the electric drive source retracts the electricdrive transmission plate 20 at a constant speed. On the other hand, after cooling of the product is finished, the mold-opening and following step is performed, and in the mold-opening and following step, a mold-opening operation of the movable mold 5 is performed, and in order to make an operation of removing the product adhered to the fixed mold 3 by ejection with the advancing operation of theinjection plunger 13 to follow the mold-opening operation of the movable mold 5, theinjection plunger 13 is advanced together with theinjection piston 14, using the ACC 22 as the hydraulic pressure drive source. - Subsequently, as the retracting step, the
injection piston 14 is retract operated using theACC 22 as the hydraulic pressure drive source, theinjection piston 14 is moved to a retractable limit at which theinjection piston 14 was positioned at the start of the low-speed injection step, and accompanying thereto, theinjection plunger 13 provided integrally with theinjection piston 14 is also moved to the retractable limit. - Next, explanation will be given on an example of operation shown in
FIG. 3 . In the series of molding steps for manufacturing the molded object inFIG. 3 , the high-speed injection step is not performed between the low-speed injection step and the pressure-intensified injection step, and the low-speed injection step, the pressure-intensified injection step, the mold-opening and following step, and the retracting step are performed in series. - In the low-speed injection step, the hydraulic operating means 21 uses the
ACC 22 as the hydraulic pressure drive source, and although acceleration is performed immediately after starting, advances the injection plunger 13 together with theinjection piston 14 at a constant low-speed. Further, theelectric servomotor 17 as the electric drive source advances the injection plunger 13 together with theinjection piston 14 at a low-speed with acceleration, in the low-speed accelerated injection step at the anterior half of the low-speed injection step, until reaching the preliminarily set setting position the setting position determined in view of the state of the product being molded, and the position at which the state of the molten metal stabilizes) which is the end point of the low-speed accelerated injection step, and in the low-speed constant speed injection step at the latter half of the low-speed injection step, theelectric servomotor 17 is made to stand-by as a preparation for the pressure-intensified injection step. - Subsequently, in the pressure-intensified injection step, the operation of the
injection plunger 13 using theACC 22 as the hydraulic pressure drive source is stopped and pressure is maintained, and on the other hand, theelectric servomotor 17 as the electric drive source advances the injection plunger 13 together with theinjection piston 14 at a constant speed. - After the pressure-intensified injection step is finished, the
electric servomotor 17 as the electric drive source retracts the electricdrive transmission plate 20 at a constant speed. On the other hand, after cooling of the product is finished, the mold-opening and following step is performed, and in the mold-opening and following step, a mold-opening operation of the movable mold 5 is performed, and in order to make an operation of removing the product adhered to the fixed mold 3 by ejection with the advancing operation of theinjection plunger 13 to follow the mold-opening operation of the movable mold 5, theinjection plunger 13 is advanced together with theinjection piston 14, using the ACC 22 as the hydraulic pressure drive source. - Subsequently, as the retracting step, the
injection piston 14 is retract operated using theACC 22 as the hydraulic pressure drive source, theinjection piston 14 is moved to a retractable limit at which theinjection piston 14 was positioned at the start of the low-speed injection step, and accompanying thereto, theinjection plunger 13 provided integrally with theinjection piston 14 is also moved to the retractable limit. - Next, explanation will be given on an example of operation shown in
FIG. 4 . In the series of molding steps for manufacturing the molded object inFIG. 4 , the high-speed injection step is not performed between the low-speed injection step and the pressure-intensified injection step, and the low-speed injection step, the pressure-intensified injection step, the mold-opening and following step, and the retracting step are performed in series. In the example ofFIG. 4 , the low-speed constant speed injection step is performed using (theACC 22 of) the hydraulic operating means 21 and theelectric servomotor 17 as the drive source. - In the low-speed injection step, the hydraulic operating means 21 uses the
ACC 22 as the hydraulic pressure drive source, and although acceleration is performed immediately after starting, advances theinjection plunger 13 together with theinjection piston 14 at a constant low-speed. Further, theelectric servomotor 17 as the electric drive source advances theinjection plunger 13 together with theinjection piston 14 at a low-speed with acceleration, in the low-speed accelerated injection step at the anterior half of the low-speed injection step, until reaching the preliminarily set setting position, and in the low-speed constant speed injection step at the latter half of the low-speed injection step, theelectric servomotor 17 advances theinjection plunger 13 together with theinjection piston 14 at a constant low speed. - Subsequently, in the pressure-intensified injection step, the operation of the
injection plunger 13 using theACC 22 as the hydraulic pressure drive source is stopped and pressure is maintained, and on the other hand, theelectric servomotor 17 as the electric drive source advances theinjection plunger 13 together with theinjection piston 14 at a constant speed which is slower than that during the low-speed accelerated injection step. Since the operation is performed using only the electric drive source and without using the hydraulic pressure drive source, the pressure detection is detected by a load cell or the like, not shown. - After the pressure-intensified injection step is finished, the
electric servomotor 17 as the electric drive source retracts the electricdrive transmission plate 20 at a constant speed. On the other hand, after cooling of the product is finished, the mold-opening and following step is performed, and in the mold-opening and following step, a mold-opening operation of the movable mold 5 is performed, and in order to make an operation of removing the product adhered to the fixed mold 3 by ejection with the advancing operation of theinjection plunger 13 to follow the mold-opening operation of the movable mold 5, theinjection plunger 13 is advanced together with theinjection piston 14, using theACC 22 as the hydraulic pressure drive source. - Subsequently, as the retracting step, the
injection piston 14 is retract operated using theACC 22 as the hydraulic pressure drive source, theinjection piston 14 is moved to a retractable limit at which theinjection piston 14 was positioned at the start of the low-speed injection step, and accompanying thereto, theinjection plunger 13 provided integrally with theinjection piston 14 is also moved to the retractable limit. The retracted position of theinjection piston 14 is also regulated by the electricdrive transmission plate 20. - The
injection mechanism 10 of thedie casting machine 1 will be explained further with reference toFIGS. 5A to 5C . The schematic configuration of theinjection mechanism 10 ofFIG. 5A corresponds toFIG. 1 , and as is shown inFIG. 5A , thepiston type spool 16 and theinjection piston 14 are not integral and are arranged separately. Therefore, as is explained above, in the examples ofFIG. 2 andFIG. 3 , theinjection plunger 13 together with theinjection piton 14 are advanced at low speed with acceleration from a composite driving force from the cooperation of the hydraulic operating means 21 using theACC 22 as the hydraulic pressure drive source and theelectric servomotor 17 as the electric drive source in the low-speed accelerated injection step at the anterior half of the low-speed injection step. In the low-speed accelerated injection step, thepiston type spool 16 presses theinjection piston 14 and is in a contact state. However, in the low-speed constant speed injection step immediately thereafter and the high-speed injection step, theelectric servomotor 17 is in the stand-by state, so that theinjection piston 14, which had been in contact with thepiston type spool 16 during the low-speed accelerated injection step, becomes out of contact with thepiston type spool 16 and advances further. With such configuration, during the high-speed injection step, theinjection plunger 13 is not coordinated and operated by the cooperation of the two drive sources of the hydraulic operating means 21 and theelectric servomotor 17, but is configured so that the two may be controlled separately. Therefore, it becomes possible to prevent, for example, one drive source (the electric servomotor) being affected by the drive (the injection speed) of the other drive source (the hydraulic operating means), and the one drive source (the electric servomotor) being damaged such as malfunction accompanying an abnormal control. Further, as is shown in a modification inFIG. 5B , it is possible to operate theinjection piston 14 provided integrally with theinjection plunger 13, using the piston type spool itself as anelectric spool 40, rather than a configuration of operating thepiston type spool 16 with the electricdrive transmission plate 20. Moreover, as is shown in a modification inFIG. 5C , thepiston type spool 16 may be configured integrally to theinjection piston 14, and theinjection piston 14 with thepiston type spool 16 configured integrally may be operated by an operation of a pressure-intensifyexclusive spool 41 provided separately from theinjection piston 14. - As is explained above, according to the
die casting machine 1 of the present embodiment, thedie casting machine 1 includes thetubular injection sleeve 12 to which a molten metal is supplied, and theinjection plunger 13 which advances and retracts inside theinjection sleeve 12, in which theelectric servomotor 17 and (theACC 22 of) the hydraulic operating means 21 are used as the drive source for the injection step which injects and fills the cavity of the mold, which has been closed, with the molten metal by the advancing of theinjection plunger 13, and thedie casting machine 1 includes the control means 30 which controls the operation of theelectric servomotor 17 and the operation of the hydraulic operating means 21 separately, when injecting and filling the cavity of the mold, which has been closed, with the molten metal by the advancing of theinjection plunger 13, during the low-speed injection step and during the high-speed injection step which is performed subsequent to the low-speed injection step and which is performed as higher speed than in the low-speed injection step, in the injection step. Further, as is shown inFIG. 2 , the low-speed injection step which is performed immediately before the high-speed injection step includes the low-speed constant speed injection step of operating theinjection plunger 13 at the constant speed using only the hydraulic operating means 21 as the drive source, and the low-speed accelerated injection step of accelerating theinjection plunger 13 until it reaches the constant speed, and theelectric servomotor 17 and (theACC 22 of) the hydraulic operating means 21 are operated concurrently from the starting point at which the low-speed accelerated injection step starts to the end point at which the low-speed accelerated injection step ends, and theinjection plunger 13 is accelerated from the starting point of the low-speed accelerated injection step until the end point of the low-speed accelerated injection step by the composite driving force of theelectric servomotor 17 and (theACC 22 of) the hydraulic operating means 21. When operating thedie casting machine 1 and performing the injection step including the low-speed injection step or high-speed injection step of injecting and filling the cavity of the mold, which had been closed, with the molten metal, it is configured that the control means 30 performs operation control separately for theelectric servomotor 17 and (theACC 22 of) the hydraulic operating means 21. Therefore, when operating theelectric servomotor 17 and (theACC 22 of) the hydraulic operating means 21 concurrently during the injection step, and injecting and filling the cavity of the mold, which had been closed, with the molten metal by advancing theinjection plunger 13 by the composite driving force therefrom, it becomes possible to prevent the one drive source (the electric servomotor) from being affected by the driving (the injection speed) of the other drive source (the hydraulic operating means) and the one drive source (the electric servomotor) from being damaged, since the hydraulic drive source and the electric drive source are not coordinated and controlled such as in the conventional technique. In the present embodiments, acceleration is continued by the composite driving forces of theelectric servomotor 17 and (theACC 22 of) the hydraulic operating means 21 from the starting point of the low-speed accelerated injection step to the end point of the low-speed accelerated injection step, however, the acceleration may be stopped not at the end but in the mid-course of acceleration. Further, by operating the low-speed accelerated injection step by theelectric servomotor 17 and the hydraulic pressure drive source (the ACC 22), repetition stability is improved and the molded goods become stable. Further, by operating the pressure-intensified injection step using only theelectric servomotor 17 as the drive source, a pressure feedback control and a multistage control during pressure-increase becomes possible, so that the quality of the molded goods may be improved. Still further, by positioning the retracted position of the electricdrive transmission plate 20 with theelectric servomotor 17, it becomes possible to vary the retracted position, and adjust the injection stroke. - The effects of the present invention are as follows. According to the present invention, when working the die casting machine and performing the injection step including the low-speed injection step or the high-speed injection step of injecting and filling the cavity of the mold, which has been closed, with the molten metal, the control means performs the operation control of the electric servomotor and the hydraulic operating means separately. Therefore, when operating the electric servomotor and the hydraulic operating means concurrently during the injection step, and injecting and filling the cavity of the mold, which has been closed, with the molten metal by advancing the injection plunger by the composite driving force, it becomes possible to prevent the one drive source (the electric servomotor) from being affected by the driving (the injection speed) of the other drive source (the hydraulic operating means) and the one drive source (the electric servomotor) from being damaged, since the hydraulic pressure drive source and the electric drive source are not coordinated and controlled such as in the conventional technique. Further, by operating the low-speed accelerated injection step by the electric servomotor and the hydraulic pressure drive source, repetition stability is improved and the molded goods become stable.
