Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to substantially detect the resin pressure in a molding cavity by using a mold with a dummy cavity, in which molten resin can be injected and filled similarly as in molding cavities and which is arranged side by side with the molding cavities, and with a resin pressure detector, which is installed in said dummy cavity. CONSTITUTION:In a mold 1, a sprue 3 and a plurality of mold impressions 6 and one dummy mold impression 7 communicating through runners 4 and edge gates 5 to the sprue 3 are provided. One end side of a pressure detecting pin 13, the other end of which is retreatably fitted to an ejector plate 12, is fitted movably to and fro in the same manner as ejector pins 11 in a movable mold 8 at the position corresponding to the dummy mold impression 7. Because the resin pressure in the mold cavity can be detected indirectly by the structure as mentioned above, the accuracy of resin pressure control during injection filling or dwelling process is improved and consequently the scattering in quality of molded item can be reduced.

(Prior art) Conventionally, in order to control the resin pressure in the mold of an injection molding machine, the injection drive device is controlled by a signal that advances the resin pressure in the molding cavity or resin passage of the mold or the screw in the plasticizing cylinder. Closed-loop control was performed to obtain a predetermined resin pressure in the molding cavity by feeding back to the controlling control device (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 50-34349, Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-524)
(See Publication No. 86).

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the method of using pressure at a location other than the molding cavity as a control feedback signal source, the control becomes indirect by estimating the relationship with the resin pressure inside the molding cavity, and the molding machine External disturbances cannot be excluded and control cannot be performed accurately. When installing a resin pressure detector in the resin passage of a mold, it is difficult to select the installation location.

Furthermore, with the method of detecting the resin pressure in the molding cavity of the mold and using it as a feedback signal for control, it is possible to obtain the optimal resin pressure for control as an actual value and directly control the state change of the resin in the molding cavity. Since the pressure detector detects the resin pressure in the molding cavity from the backward displacement of the pressure detection pin that also serves as a pin, the molded product molded in the molding cavity where the pressure detector is installed will have a protrusion that corresponds to the pin hole. However, precision products may be defective, and some molded products may have problems such as difficulty in installing pressure detectors.

The resin pressure within 7 is detected by a resin pressure detector 14 via a pressure detection pin 13. This detection signal is directly fed back to the control device 15 as an actual value signal when the molding cavity 16 and the dummy cavity 17 are equal, and when the molding cavity 16 is not suitable for pressure detection because it is extremely thin or extremely small, the dummy cavity 17 has a thickness or size sufficient for pressure detection, and the detection signal is corrected by a converted value measured in advance and fed back.

The control device 15 controls the injection drive device in a closed loop so that the deviation between the resin pressure in the dummy cavity 17 inputted from the resin pressure detector 14 and the set value falls within an allowable range, so that the inside of the molding cavity 16 is controlled to a predetermined resin level.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention uses a dummy cavity and a detector that detects the resin pressure in the dummy cavity to indirectly detect the resin pressure in the molding cavity. It improves the accuracy of controlling the resin pressure inside the molding cavity during the process or pressure holding process or switching control from the injection filling process to the pressure holding process, reducing variations in molded product quality, and in the case of thin-walled products and small products. However, the dummy cavity can ease fluctuations in resin pressure, facilitate setting of control resin pressure, and improve followability as control performance. In addition, because a dummy cavity is used, even in the case of precision products, there is no need to produce defective products like in the past, and the resin pressure detection block has a constant shape suitable for pressure detection regardless of the product shape or gate shape. Enables recruitment. Furthermore, it is also possible to determine the quality of the molded product by detecting changes in resin pressure during molding.
