- the heater heat transfer amount calculation unit 14 calculates the amount of heat transfer from each of the heaters 24a to 24d to the resin based on the calculation result of the heater heat transfer amount calculation unit 13. An example of a method for calculating the amount of heat transfer by the heater heat transfer amount calculation unit 14 will be described.
- the amount of heat transfer from the heaters 24a to 24d to the resin is E Ti .
- the amount of heat transfer E Ti can be calculated from the difference between the amount of heat generated when molding is being performed E Hi and the amount of heat generated when molding is stopped E' Hi .
- Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram for explaining the heat balance during molding.
- Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram for explaining the heat balance when molding is stopped.
- the heat generation amount E Hi during molding to maintain the cylinder 22 at the set temperature can be considered as the sum of the heat transfer amount E Ti and various heat dissipation.
- the various heat dissipation is the sum of the heat amount applied to the heater 24b, the heat transfer amount to the front (the nozzle portion 25 side), the heat transfer amount to the rear (the opposite side of the nozzle portion 25), and the heat dissipation from the surface of the heater 24b.
- the screw 23 is stopped inside the cylinder 22, and the resin is not flowing and remains in a stagnant state.
- the resin temperature can be considered to be the same as the temperature of the cylinder 22, so the heat generated by the heater 24b is not transferred to the resin. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 5, the heat generation amount E'Hi when molding is stopped and the cylinder 22 is maintained at the set temperature can be considered to be equal to the various heat dissipations.
- the heat transfer amount ETi can be obtained by subtracting the heat generation amount E'Hi from the heat generation amount EHi , whereby the various heat dissipations are offset.

- the amount of heat dissipated to the surrounding environment can be considered as the amount of heat dissipated to the air E Ri , the amount of heat E W absorbed by the cooling water flowing inside the cooling jacket 26, and the amount of heat E 0 dissipated to the machine body.
- the heat generation amount of each heater 24a to 24d is E Hi

- E T :E S is the ratio of the amount of heat transfer and the amount of shear heat generation, which are the breakdown of the total amount of heat E M received by the resin material. Under conditions where the ratio is such that the amount of heat transfer is predominant, the energy efficiency is poor but the melting quality of the resin is good. On the other hand, under conditions where the ratio is such that the amount of shear heat generation is predominant, the energy efficiency is good but the melting quality is poor. If the total amount of heat transfer E T from the heaters 24a to 24d to the resin can be calculated, the ratio of this amount of heat transfer and the amount of shear heat generation can also be calculated. Therefore, E T :E S is an index representing the plasticization state.
- the plasticization index calculation unit 16 of the present embodiment calculates the ratio of the heat transfer amount to the shear heat generation amount ( ET : ES ) as an index related to plasticization based on information on the total heat transfer amount ET calculated by the heater heat transfer amount calculation unit 14 and the shear heat generation amount ES calculated by the shear heat generation amount calculation unit 15.

- the operation information and characteristic information are acquired, for example, from various sensors, a storage unit (not shown) of the control device 10, an external computer (not shown), etc.
- the heater heat generation amount calculation unit 13 calculates the heat generation amount of the heaters 24a to 24d based on the acquired operation information and characteristic information (step S12). The heater heat generation amount calculation unit 13 calculates the heat generation amount of each of the heaters 24a to 24d when the cylinder 22 is maintained at a predetermined set temperature based on, for example, the operation rate of the heaters 24a to 24d and the capacity of the heaters 24a to 24d.
- the heater heat transfer amount calculation unit 14 calculates the amount of heat transfer from the heaters 24a to 24d to the resin (step S13).

- the output unit 20 When the calculation result by the plasticization index calculation unit 16 is output, the output unit 20 outputs the calculation result (step S16).
- the output unit 20 executes a process to display the calculation result by the plasticization index calculation unit 16 on the display device 6 as a numerical value, a letter, a symbol, a graph, a picture, or a combination thereof, for example.
- step S15 After the processing by the output unit 20 in step S15, if the molding process is to be continued, the control device 10 returns the process to step S11 and executes the processes from step S11 onwards again (step S17; Yes). On the other hand, if the control device 10 detects that the molding process has been stopped, it executes a process to stop molding and ends the flow (step S17; No). Note that the continuation or stop of the molding process is determined by the control device 10 based on, for example, the user's operation or whether the plasticization state satisfies predetermined conditions.
- the control device 10 for the injection molding machine 1 provides the following effects. That is, the injection molding machine 1 comprises a cylinder 22, heaters 24a to 24d arranged around the cylinder 22, and a screw 23 arranged inside the cylinder 22.
- the control device 10 for the injection molding machine 1 comprises an operation information acquisition unit 11 that acquires operation information relating to the operation of the heaters 24a to 24d and the screw 23, a characteristic information acquisition unit 12 that acquires characteristic information relating to the characteristics of the injection molding machine 1, a heater heat generation amount calculation unit 13 that calculates the heat generation amounts of the heaters 24a to 24d based on the acquired operation information and characteristic information, and a heat generation amount calculation unit 14 that calculates the heat generation amounts of the heaters 24a to 24d when molding is performed with the cylinder 22 maintained at a predetermined set temperature and a heat generation amount calculation unit 15 that calculates the heat generation amount of the heaters 24a to 24d when molding is performed with the cylinder 22 maintained at a predetermined set temperature.

- a heater heat transfer amount calculation unit 14 that calculates the amount of heat transfer from the heaters 24a to 24d to the resin based on the amount of heat generated by the heaters 24a to 24d when molding is stopped in the molding process
- a shear heat generation amount calculation unit 15 that calculates the amount of shear heat generated by the rotation of the screw 23
- a plasticization index calculation unit 16 that calculate
- the index related to plasticization is output by the output unit 20, the user can accurately grasp the plasticization state of the resin without requiring a special sensor even during continuous molding. Additionally, the information output by the output unit 20 can be used to identify the cause of molding defects.
- the plasticization index calculation unit 16 calculates the ratio of the amount of heat transferred from the heaters 24a to 24d to the resin and the amount of shear heat generation as an index related to plasticization. This allows the user to grasp the plasticization quality of the resin from the ratio of the amount of heat transferred and the amount of shear heat generation. For example, if the heat transfer ratio is high, it can be seen that the energy efficiency is low but the molten state of the resin is good. On the other hand, conversely, if the shear ratio is high, it can be seen that the energy efficiency is high but the molten state cannot be said to be good.
- the operating rate indicating the operating state of the heaters 24a to 24d differs between when molding is in progress and when molding is stopped. If the operating rates of the heaters 24a to 24d differ, the surface temperatures of the heaters 24a to 24d differ, and the amount of heat dissipated from the surfaces of the heaters 24a to 24d also differ. For example, the amount of heat dissipated E Ri during molding as shown in Fig. 8 differs from the amount of heat dissipated E' Ri during molding stop as shown in Fig. 9 (amount of heat dissipated E Ri ⁇ amount of heat dissipated E' Ri ). Therefore, if the difference between the amount of heat dissipated by the heaters 24a to 24d during molding and when molding is stopped is corrected, the amount of heat transfer can be calculated more accurately.
- the amount of heat generated during molding EHi can be considered to be the sum of the amount of heat transfer ETi , the amount of heat radiation ERi , and other heat radiation excluding the amount of heat radiation ERi from various types of heat radiation.
- the other heat radiation is the amount of heat transferred to the heater 24b toward the front (the nozzle portion 25 side) and the amount of heat transferred to the rear (the opposite side of the nozzle portion 25).
- Heat dissipation from the heater surface can be divided into two types, convection and radiation, and the amount of heat dissipation can be calculated by adding them together.
- the amount of heat dissipation is calculated using the heater surface temperature and ambient temperature acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 11, as well as the heater surface area, heat transfer coefficient, emissivity, and Stefan-Boltzmann coefficient acquired by the characteristic information acquisition unit 12.
- the cylinder 22 may be assumed to have a simple cylindrical shape.
- the ambient temperature and heater surface temperature are acquired, for example, by using the detection value of a temperature sensor (not shown) or by estimating using a predetermined function.
- the amount of heater convection heat dissipation can be calculated, for example, using the following formula (7).
