As a result, the pressure plate 20 moves forward (to the left in the figure), and the molten resin accumulated at the tip of the heating cylinder 1 is filled into the mold (not shown). At this time, even if a filling pressure is applied to the screw 2 and a back pressure is applied, the ball screw shaft 22 is splined to the injection drive unit 50 in the rotation transmission unit 59, as in the weighing process. It can move smoothly backward relative to 11. Therefore, since the filling pressure can be detected with high accuracy by the load cell 74, molding defects such as burrs and sink marks can be reduced, and a molded product can be produced stably.

- the motor shaft 58 of the injection motor 50 as the drive unit for driving the screw 2 so as to move forward or backward in the heating cylinder 1 is replaced by the ball screw shaft 22.
- the ball screw shaft 22 As it moves in the axial direction, it moves through the load cell 74, so that most of the thrust load received by the ball screw shaft 22 is transmitted to the pressure receiving portion 34c of the load cell 74. Therefore, the thrust load received by the ball screw shaft 22 without being affected by the injection motor 50 can be measured, and the thrust load indicating the back pressure can be measured with high accuracy.
- the injection motor 50 is attached to the rear surface side of the rear flange member 11, and the motor shaft 58 is connected to the connection portion 22c at the rear end portion of the ball screw shaft 22 so as to be movable in the axial direction. If so, it can be easily installed and removed, and can be easily replaced and maintained.
- the load cell 74 is also attached to the rear surface side of the rear flange member 11 and is fixed in a state sandwiched between the bearing holder 73 and the front end plate 54 of the injection motor 50. Can be easily performed, and replacement and maintenance can be easily performed.
- the pressure plate 20 can be moved forward or backward together with the screw 2 between the front flange member 10 and the rear flange member 11! /. A large backward stroke can be obtained. Further, since the pressure plate 20 is moved forward or backward along with the screw 2 along the guide rod 12, rattling of the pressure plate 20 and the screw 2 during forward or backward movement can be reduced.
- FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of an injection drive unit of an injection apparatus according to a modification of the third embodiment of the present invention.
- a speed reducer 89 is interposed between the injection motor 50 and the ball screw shaft 22, and the rotation of the motor shaft 58 of the injection motor 50 is decelerated by the speed reducer 89.
- the screw shaft 22 is transmitted.
- the reduction gear 89 functions as a part of the driving member.
- the speed reducer 89 has a speed reducer frame 91, and a driven gear shaft 195 and a drive gear shaft 196 are disposed in parallel with the motor shaft 58 in the speed reducer frame 91.
- Each of the shafts 196 is attached to the reduction gear frame 91 through a plurality of radial bearings so as to be rotatable and immovable in the axial direction. Further, the larger-diameter driven gear 97 attached to the driven gear shaft 195 and the smaller-diameter drive gear 93 attached to the drive gear shaft 196 intertwine with each other to constitute a reduction mechanism.
- a connecting portion 22c formed at the rear end portion of the ball screw shaft 22 is inserted into the connecting portion 195a and is splined. Thereby, the ball screw shaft 22 and the driven gear shaft 195 are connected so as not to rotate but to be movable in the axial direction.
- connection portion 22c of the ball screw shaft 22 and the driven gear shaft 195 can be connected.
- the connection with the part 195a may be in any form, for example, a connection with a key and a key groove extending in the axial direction.
- the bearing holder 73 and the speed reducer 89 are attached to the rear flange member 11 via a load cell 74 as a load detector.
- the pressure receiving portion 74c is fixed to the bearing holder 74 and the reducer frame 54 while being sandwiched between the bearing holder 74 and the reducer frame 91.
- fastening members such as bolts penetrating the three members.
- a substantially cylindrical fitting protrusion that protrudes forward and fits into the hole of the load cell 74 is formed on the inner peripheral edge of the front surface of the speed reducer frame 91.
- the speed reducer frame 91 and the load cell 74 are positioned in a state in which their axial centers coincide with each other.
- the reduction gear frame 91 is positioned in a state in which the axial center coincides with the rear flange member 11.
- the rear end portion of the drive gear shaft 196 is a motor connection portion 58a protruding rearward from the speed reducer frame 91, and is connected to the front of the motor shaft 58 of the injection motor 50 via the coupling 98. Connected to the end.
- the drive gear shaft 196 and the motor shaft 58 are connected to each other so as not to rotate but to move in the axial direction.
- the injection motor 50 is attached to the speed reducer 89 via an attachment member (not shown).
- the rotation of the motor shaft 58 of the injection motor 50 is decelerated by the speed reducer 89 and transmitted to the ball screw shaft 22. Therefore, even if the injection motor 50 is small and has a small output, the screw 2 can be moved forward or backward.
- a driven gear shaft 195 of a reduction gear 89 that constitutes a drive unit for driving the screw 2 to move forward or backward in the heating cylinder 1 is connected to the ball screw shaft 22 so as to be movable in the axial direction.
- the thrust load received by the ball screw shaft 22 is transmitted by the pressure receiving portion 74c of the load cell 74. Therefore, the thrust load received by the ball screw shaft 22 without being affected by the injection motor 50 and the speed reducer 89 can be measured, and the thrust load indicating the back pressure can be measured with high accuracy.
- the speed reducer 89 is attached to the rear surface side of the rear flange member 11, and the driven gear shaft 195 is connected to the connection portion 22c at the rear end portion of the ball screw shaft 22 so as to be movable in the axial direction. Therefore, it can be easily installed and removed, and can be replaced and maintained. It can be done easily.
- the load cell 74 is also attached to the rear surface side of the rear flange member 11 and is fixed in a state sandwiched between the bearing holder 73 and the speed reducer frame 89. Therefore, the load cell 74 can be easily attached and detached. Can be replaced and maintained easily.
- the present invention is applicable to an injection device that pressurizes and injects the resin with an injection member such as a screw.
