【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、金型の型開量から成形品に対応して設定された適正な型締力を確認して射出成形を行う方法に関するものである。

【従来の技術】
射出圧力の制御手段として、ガスは放出されるがバリは発生しないような型開量を設定しておき、型開量がその値になったのち、その型開量を目標値として制御を行うことが知られている(特許文献1参照)。
またバリの発生防止手段として、型開量を同期検出したタイバーの伸びと可動盤の繰出量の各値に基づいて算出し、型開量が許容値に達する直前の射出開始時間を最終的なものとして設定して、以降の成形サイクルでは型開量が許容値を超えないようにしているものもある(特許文献2参照)。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
一般的に型締力は、成形品の投影面積と射出圧力とから値が算出され、その値を基準として設定された適正な型締力で成形を行えば、特に不都合は生じないとされているが、実際には起こり得ない金型の型開によって、バリや不良品が生ずるという虞から、適正な型締力よりも大きな成形機の定格最大型締力で成形を行っていることが多い。
【0005】
この必要以上の型締力を金型に加えて射出成形を行うことは、余分な電力の消費となり、ランニングコストにも著しい影響を与える。射出成形では型締力以外にも射出圧力、スクリュ及び型締トグルの作動、ヒータ、制御装置等にも電力は要するが、それらは算出された設定値以上の出力により稼働されることはまれで、成形機としては型締力だけが余分な電力を消費している。したがって、適正な型締力による成形は消費電力の節減となり、さらに金型についても負荷が低減してライフサイクルアップが図られ、また型閉面からのガス抜きもスムーズに行われるようになって、成形品の品質も向上するなどの多くのメリットが生ずる。
【0006】
しかし、成形品を対象とした適正な型締力であっても、それを成形現場において確認できる状態になければ、適正な型締力による射出成形を行うことは難しい。この確認は型開量を知ることで容易に行い得るが、バリが発生する程の型開量は極めて僅かであって、型開が生じてもバリが発生しない場合との差を見分けることは困難とされている。
【0007】
上記引用文献1では、バリが発生しない型開量を設定し、型開量がその値になったのち、射出圧力を制御しているが、ガスは放出されるがバリが発生しない型開量を設定することは難しく、また射出圧力を局部ばりが発生しない値内に制御することは射出充填後の保圧から好ましいことではない。
【0008】
また上記引用文献2では、タイバーの伸びと可動盤の繰出量から算出した型開量が、許容値に達する直前の射出開始時間を最終的なものとして設定して、以降の成形サイクルでは型開量が許容値を超えないようにしているが、これは射出動作の一部を型締動作に重複させながら射出成形動作を行うという、通常の射出成形には採用し難いものである。
【0009】
上記引用文献3では、可動盤位置を時間軸基準で波形表示し、その可動盤の後退量を型開量としているが、その型開量は射出充填後に金型を操作して樹脂を圧縮する上で必要な型開量を可動盤位置の波形で表示しているのであり、そこに記載の適正な型締力は射出圧力に応じて傾斜制御されるものであるから、通常の射出形成で算出された適正な型締力とは異なるものである。
【0010】
上記引用文献4に記載のタイバー伸長測定も型締力の検出にあるから、上記従来の技術をもって、タイバーの伸び量と金型の型開量とを関連付け、検出されたタイバーの伸び量を型開量として表示し、これから適正な型締力による射出成形を行えるようにして、こ型締に要する消費電力を節減するまでには至らない。
【0011】
この発明の目的は、タイバーの伸び量との関連から知ることができる金型の型開量をモニターの表示画面に波形表示し、その表示から適正な型締力による射出成形を可能とし、型締に要する余分な消費電力を節減してランニングコストの削減を行うことができる新たな射出成形方法を提供することにある。
【0012】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的によるこの発明は、型締工程完了時のタイバーの伸び量を基準として、射出工程時に検出されるタイバーの伸び量を検出し、その検出値を型開量に換算してモニタの時間軸表示画面及び/又は位置軸表示画面に波形表示し、その波形表示による型開量から成形品の射出成形に適正な型締力を確認して設定してなる、というものである。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1は、この発明を実施し得る電動トグル式型締装置の1例を示すもので、1は固定型、2は圧受盤である。この両方は四隅部に挿通したタイバー3により連結してある。4は可動盤でタイバー3に挿通支持してあり、その可動盤4と固定盤1に金型5が分割して取付けてある。6は固定盤1を通して金型4にノズルタッチした射出装置である。
【0014】
7は型締用のトグルリンクで、圧受盤2と可動盤4とにわたり折曲自在にピン結合して上下に設けてある。8は定位置のボールねじ軸で、圧受盤2を貫通してトグルリン7の間の中央に回転自在に突設してあり、そのねじ部に螺合したクロスヘッド9にトグルリンク7の各作動板7aがピン結合により連結してある。10はボールねじ軸6を回転駆動する電動サーボモータで、圧受盤2の外側中央に取付けてある。
【0015】
11はタイバー伸び量検出器で、固定盤1と可動盤4との間のタイバー3に並行に取付けてある。なお、取付位置は圧受盤2と可動盤4との間でタイバー3で可動盤4の進退移動に支障を来さない部位であってもよい。
【0016】
このタイバー伸び量検出器11は渦電流式変位センサによるもので、図2に示すように、センサヘッド11aと検出ロッド11bのそれぞれを、上下嵌合型の一対のクランププレート11cの各プレート面に取付け、そのクランププレート11cをタイバー3の前後に嵌合固着して、センサヘッド11aと検出ロッド11bとをタイバー上にて互いに突き合わせ、その突き合わせ間隙がクランププレート間(L)のタイバーの伸びに伴い変化して、タイバー伸び量を電気的に検出できるようにしてある。
【0017】
図3は、型締力の低減によるタイバー伸び量と金型の型開量とを示す図で、自社成形機(ES400)の定格最大型締力40tを型締力100%とし、射出工程時の最大射出圧力230Mpaとしたときの射出圧力によるタイバー伸び量を検出すると共に、そのときの型開量をマイクロゲージにより測定し、型締力を低減させいていったときの射出圧力による型開量が1.0mmになるまで実験した結果である。この図からタイバー伸び量と金型の型開量の変化に相関性があることが分かる。したがって、型締力の出力率ごとに変化するタイバー伸び量を検出し、タイバー伸び量の検出値を型開量に換算入力してモニタに波形表示することが可能となる。
【0018】
一般に材料樹脂として広く使用されている汎用樹脂では、その溶融粘度から0.1mm以下の間隙では樹脂漏れが生じ難いとされている。また溶融粘度が著しく低い液晶樹脂でも間隙が0.05mm以下であれば、バリの発生は防止できるとのことであるから、型開量0.05mmを上限値としてモニタに入力し、ライン表示しておけば、それを超えない型開量で収まる適正な型締力を設定して、過剰な型締力の付加による射出成形を避けることができるようになる。
【0019】
図4は、液晶画面によるモニタの表示画面を示すもので、横軸を時間スケールとして射出速度と射出圧力と共に型開量を波形表示する時間軸表示画面と、横軸を位置スケールとして射出速度と射出圧力と共に型開基準位置を波形表示する位置軸表示画面とを同一画面の左右に備えたものからなる。射出充填時においてはスクリュ位置における型開量として表示し、V−P(圧力−速度)切換位置近辺からの保圧工程は時間制御となるため、時間軸を平行させて表示するようにしている。また両画面には設定変更における危険防止のために、型開上限値をライン表示し、タイバー伸び量から得られる型開量が、型開上限値を超えたときには成形が直ちに中止されるように設定してある。
【0020】
図5は、上記時間軸表示画面と位置軸表示画面とを分け示したもので、その表示画面により、1例として射出圧力230Mpa、定格最大型締力40tの型締力を80%に設定して成形を行おうとした場合の型開量の波形表示を示すものである。この射出工程時に変化するタイバー伸び量は予め検出されており、その検出値が型開量として換算入力されて、時間軸表示画面と位置軸表示画面とに波形表示されるようにしてあることから、そこに設定した80%の型締力で射出成形した際の射出圧力により生ずる型開量が表示される。
【0021】
また波形表示された型開量のピーク値Pが型開上限値より小さく、その差から型締力の出力率を下げてもバリの発生がないときには、型開上限値を超えない範囲での型締力の設定修正が容易に行える。この型開量の波形表示がない状態で型締力を設定する場合には、型締力の設定し直しをバリが発生するところまで繰返し行ない、その後に型締力をバリの発生のないところまで上げて、型締力を設定しなければならない。このような設定作業では発生したバリにより金型が損傷することが多いので危険を伴い、また時間を要する。
【0022】
図6は、この発明による型締力の設定順序を示すフローチャートで、先ずオペレーターによって成形品に適合した成形条件と型開上限値を設定する。次にトグルリンクを伸長して型締を行い、高圧型締完了の信号を検知したかどうか確認する。検知を確認した時点でタイバー伸び量検出器により変位センサの値を検出し、その検出位置をタイバー伸び量の基準値としてメモリに格納する。
【0023】
型締完了後に射出工程を開始し、スクリュ位置や、射出速度、射出圧力などと共に、射出圧力によるタイバー伸び量を型開量に換算する。この型開量を他の検出値と同様に波形表示処理を行って、射出工程ではスクリュ位置を基準として波形表示を行い、V−P切換周辺から時間軸での同一波形の波形表示を行う。
【0024】
波形表示された型開量が型開上限値を超えていないかどうかを監視し、型開量が型開上限値に達しないときには、そこに設定された型締力は射出圧力に対して適正な型締力として、以後の射出成形に移行する。また型開量が型開上限値を超えると、成形不良(特にバリ)、型開量オーバー等のメッセージ表示を行うと共に、直ちに射出装置を停止させて成形を中断する。この停止作動により型締力が射出圧力に対して低すぎることが確認でき、型締力を型開量が型開上限値まで達しない高い型締力に修正して成形を開始することができる。また型締力の修正は繰り返し行われることはないので、バリの発生による金型への影響も殆どなく、修正された型締力により以後の射出成形が行えるようになる。
【0025】
上述のようにの発明によれば、オペレーターがモニターの表示画面に波形表示された型開量をみながら型締力を適正な型締力に設定できるので、型締に要する消費電力が節減されてランニングコストの削減ともなる。また型開上限値を設定し、それを超えた時点で成形を中止することができるので、型締力が適正な型締力よりも低く設定されも、型開により生じたバリによる金型への影響も極力抑えることができる。さらに金型に対しても余計な負荷が掛からないのでライフサイクルアップとなり、ガス抜きもスムーズに行われるようになることから、成形品の品質も向上するなどの多くの利点を有する。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for performing injection molding by confirming an appropriate mold clamping force set for a molded product from a mold opening amount of a mold.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a means for controlling the injection pressure, a mold opening amount is set such that gas is released but burrs are not generated, and after the mold opening amount reaches that value, control is performed with the mold opening amount as a target value. It is known (see Patent Document 1).
In addition, as means for preventing the occurrence of burrs, the mold opening amount is calculated based on the values of the tie bar extension and the movable plate feeding amount that are synchronously detected, and the injection start time immediately before the mold opening amount reaches the allowable value is finally calculated. In some cases, the mold opening amount is set so as not to exceed an allowable value in a subsequent molding cycle (see Patent Document 2).
As a monitor display method for injection compression molding, the waveform of the movable platen position is graphically displayed on the time axis basis at the same time as the injection pressure and mold clamping force in the injection compression process, based on the signal from the position sensor. Using the retreat amount as the mold opening amount, the inclination control of the mold clamping force according to the injection pressure and the mold opening amount are determined (see Patent Document 3).
An extension measuring device is attached to the tie bar to detect the mold clamping force from the extension of the tie bar (see Patent Document 4).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Generally, the value of the mold clamping force is calculated from the projected area of the molded product and the injection pressure, and if molding is performed with an appropriate mold clamping force set based on the value, no particular inconvenience is caused. However, there is a risk that burrs and defective products will be caused by opening the mold that cannot actually occur.Therefore, molding should be performed with the rated maximum clamping force of the molding machine larger than the appropriate clamping force. Many.
[0005]
Performing injection molding by applying a mold clamping force that is more than necessary to the mold consumes extra power and significantly affects running costs. In injection molding, in addition to the mold clamping force, power is also required for the injection pressure, the operation of the screw and mold toggle, the heater, the control device, etc., but these are rarely operated with outputs exceeding the calculated set value. As a molding machine, only the clamping force consumes extra power. Therefore, molding with an appropriate mold clamping force saves power consumption, further reduces the load on the mold, improves the life cycle, and allows gas to be smoothly released from the mold closed surface. There are many advantages such as improvement in the quality of the molded product.
[0006]
However, even if the mold clamping force is appropriate for a molded product, it is difficult to perform injection molding with an appropriate mold clamping force unless it can be confirmed at the molding site. This confirmation can be easily performed by knowing the mold opening amount, but the mold opening amount is small enough to cause burrs, and even if mold opening occurs, it is difficult to distinguish the difference from the case where burrs do not occur. It is difficult.
[0007]
In the above cited document 1, the mold opening amount at which no burr occurs is set, and after the mold opening amount has reached that value, the injection pressure is controlled. However, the mold opening amount at which gas is released but no burr occurs is generated. Is difficult to set, and it is not preferable to control the injection pressure to a value at which no local burrs occur from the pressure retention after injection filling.
[0008]
In the above cited reference 2, the injection start time immediately before the mold opening amount calculated from the extension of the tie bar and the moving amount of the movable plate reaches an allowable value is set as a final one, and the mold opening time is set in the subsequent molding cycle. Although the amount is not allowed to exceed the allowable value, this is difficult to employ in normal injection molding, in which an injection molding operation is performed while a part of the injection operation is overlapped with a mold clamping operation.
[0009]
In the cited document 3, the movable platen position is displayed in a waveform on the basis of the time axis, and the retreat amount of the movable platen is set as the mold opening amount. The mold opening amount is set by operating the mold after injection filling to compress the resin. The required mold opening amount is displayed as a waveform at the movable platen position, and the appropriate mold clamping force described therein is controlled by tilting according to the injection pressure. This is different from the calculated appropriate mold clamping force.
[0010]
Since the tie bar elongation measurement described in the above cited reference 4 also includes the detection of the mold clamping force, the elongation amount of the tie bar and the mold opening amount of the mold are linked by the above-mentioned conventional technique, and the detected elongation amount of the tie bar is determined by the die It is displayed as an opening amount, and injection molding with an appropriate mold clamping force can be performed from now on, so that power consumption required for this mold clamping cannot be reduced.
[0011]
An object of the present invention is to provide a waveform display on a monitor display screen of a mold opening amount that can be known from the relationship with the elongation amount of a tie bar, and to allow injection molding with an appropriate mold clamping force from the display, An object of the present invention is to provide a new injection molding method capable of reducing running power by reducing unnecessary power consumption required for fastening.
[0012]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
This invention according to the above object detects the tie bar elongation detected during the injection process based on the tie bar elongation at the completion of the mold clamping process, converts the detected value into the mold opening amount, and monitors the time axis of the monitor. A waveform is displayed on a display screen and / or a position axis display screen, and an appropriate mold clamping force for injection molding of a molded product is confirmed and set based on the amount of mold opening based on the waveform display.
[0013]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows an example of an electric toggle type mold clamping device which can implement the present invention, wherein 1 is a fixed type, and 2 is a pressure receiving plate. Both are connected by a tie bar 3 inserted through the four corners. Reference numeral 4 denotes a movable plate, which is inserted into and supported by the tie bar 3, and a mold 5 is separately mounted on the movable plate 4 and the fixed plate 1. Reference numeral 6 denotes an injection device in which the mold 4 is nozzle-touched through the fixed platen 1.
[0014]
Reference numeral 7 denotes a toggle link for mold clamping, which is provided above and below the pressure receiving platen 2 and the movable platen 4 by being pin-coupled to bend freely. Reference numeral 8 denotes a fixed position ball screw shaft, which penetrates through the pressure receiving plate 2 and is rotatably protruded from the center between the toggle rings 7, and each of the toggle links 7 is actuated by a crosshead 9 screwed to the screw portion. The plate 7a is connected by a pin connection. Reference numeral 10 denotes an electric servomotor that rotationally drives the ball screw shaft 6 and is attached to the outside center of the pressure receiving plate 2.
[0015]
Reference numeral 11 denotes a tie bar elongation detector, which is attached to the tie bar 3 between the fixed platen 1 and the movable platen 4 in parallel. The attachment position may be a portion that does not hinder the advance / retreat of the movable platen 4 with the tie bar 3 between the pressure receiving platen 2 and the movable platen 4.
[0016]
The tie bar elongation detector 11 is based on an eddy current displacement sensor, and as shown in FIG. 2, a sensor head 11a and a detection rod 11b are respectively attached to each plate surface of a pair of upper and lower fitting clamp plates 11c. The clamp plate 11c is fitted and fixed to the front and rear of the tie bar 3 so that the sensor head 11a and the detection rod 11b abut against each other on the tie bar. It changes so that the tie bar elongation can be detected electrically.
[0017]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the tie bar elongation amount and the mold opening amount of the mold due to the reduction of the mold clamping force. The rated maximum mold clamping force 40t of the in-house molding machine (ES400) is set to 100% and the injection process is performed. In addition to detecting the tie bar elongation by the injection pressure when the maximum injection pressure is 230 Mpa, the mold opening at that time is measured by a micro gauge, and the mold opening by the injection pressure when the mold clamping force is reduced. Is the result of an experiment performed until the value of becomes 1.0 mm. From this figure, it can be seen that there is a correlation between the tie bar elongation amount and the change in the mold opening amount of the mold. Therefore, it is possible to detect the tie bar elongation amount that changes for each output ratio of the mold clamping force, convert the detected value of the tie bar elongation amount into the mold opening amount, and display the waveform on a monitor.
[0018]
In general, general-purpose resins widely used as material resins are said to be less likely to leak in gaps of 0.1 mm or less due to their melt viscosities. In addition, even if the liquid crystal resin has a very low melt viscosity, if the gap is 0.05 mm or less, the generation of burrs can be prevented. Therefore, input the mold opening amount of 0.05 mm to the monitor as the upper limit and display the line. If this is done, it is possible to set an appropriate mold clamping force that can be accommodated with a mold opening amount that does not exceed that, and to avoid injection molding due to the application of excessive mold clamping force.
[0019]
FIG. 4 shows a display screen of a monitor using a liquid crystal screen. The horizontal axis represents a time scale, and the injection axis and the injection pressure are displayed in a waveform on the time axis. A position axis display screen for waveform-displaying the mold opening reference position together with the injection pressure is provided on the left and right sides of the same screen. At the time of injection filling, it is displayed as the amount of mold opening at the screw position, and since the pressure-holding process from near the VP (pressure-speed) switching position is time-controlled, the time axis is displayed in parallel. . Also, in order to prevent danger in changing the settings, the upper limit of the mold opening is displayed as a line, so that when the mold opening obtained from the tie bar elongation exceeds the upper limit of the mold opening, molding is immediately stopped. It has been set.
[0020]
FIG. 5 shows the time axis display screen and the position axis display screen separately. According to the display screen, an injection pressure of 230 Mpa and a mold clamping force of a rated maximum mold clamping force of 40 t are set to 80% as an example. 5 shows a waveform display of a mold opening amount when an attempt is made to perform molding. The amount of tie bar elongation that changes during the injection process is detected in advance, and the detected value is converted and input as the mold opening amount, and the waveform is displayed on the time axis display screen and the position axis display screen. The amount of mold opening caused by the injection pressure when injection molding is performed with the set clamping force of 80% is displayed.
[0021]
When the peak value P of the mold opening amount displayed as a waveform is smaller than the mold opening upper limit value, and there is no burr even if the output rate of the mold clamping force is reduced from the difference, if the mold opening amount does not exceed the mold opening upper limit value. The setting of the mold clamping force can be easily modified. When setting the mold clamping force without displaying the waveform of the mold opening, repeat the setting of the mold clamping force until burrs occur, and then reduce the mold clamping force to a place where burrs do not occur. To set the clamping force. In such a setting operation, the mold is often damaged by the generated burrs, so that it is dangerous and requires time.
[0022]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the sequence of setting the mold clamping force according to the present invention. First, the operator sets the molding conditions and the mold opening upper limit value suitable for the molded product. Next, the toggle link is extended to perform mold clamping, and it is confirmed whether or not a signal indicating completion of high-pressure mold clamping has been detected. When the detection is confirmed, the value of the displacement sensor is detected by the tie bar elongation detector, and the detected position is stored in the memory as a reference value of the tie bar elongation.
[0023]
After the mold clamping is completed, the injection process is started, and the tie bar elongation amount due to the injection pressure is converted into the mold opening amount together with the screw position, the injection speed, the injection pressure, and the like. This mold opening amount is subjected to waveform display processing in the same manner as other detected values, and in the injection step, a waveform is displayed based on the screw position, and the same waveform is displayed on the time axis from around the VP switching.
[0024]
Monitors whether the mold opening displayed in the waveform does not exceed the mold opening upper limit, and if the mold opening does not reach the mold opening upper limit, the mold clamping force set there is appropriate for the injection pressure. The process proceeds to the subsequent injection molding as a simple mold clamping force. When the mold opening exceeds the mold opening upper limit, a message such as a molding failure (particularly, burr) or an excessive mold opening is displayed, and the injection device is immediately stopped to suspend molding. By this stop operation, it can be confirmed that the mold clamping force is too low with respect to the injection pressure, and the molding can be started by correcting the mold clamping force to a high mold clamping force that does not reach the mold opening upper limit value. . Further, since the correction of the mold clamping force is not repeated, there is almost no influence on the mold due to the generation of burrs, and the injection molding can be performed with the corrected mold clamping force.
[0025]
According to the invention as described above, since the operator can set the mold clamping force to an appropriate mold clamping force while watching the mold opening amount displayed in a waveform on the monitor display screen, power consumption required for mold clamping can be reduced. This also reduces running costs. Also, since the upper limit of the mold opening can be set and the molding can be stopped when the upper limit is exceeded, even if the mold clamping force is set lower than the appropriate mold clamping force, the mold will not be removed by the burr generated by the mold opening. Can be minimized. Furthermore, since an unnecessary load is not applied to the mold, the life cycle is improved, and the degassing is performed smoothly, so that there are many advantages such as improvement in the quality of the molded product.
