Description

射出装置Injection device
 この発明は、スクリュを用いて成形材料を射出する射出装置に関するものであり、特に、スクリュに作用する軸方向力の検出精度の向上に資する技術を提案するものである。 This invention relates to an injection device that injects a molding material using a screw, and in particular proposes a technique that contributes to improving the detection accuracy of the axial force acting on the screw.
 射出成形機に使用される射出装置は、計量モータで回転駆動されるとともに射出モータで進退駆動されるスクリュを用いて、主として樹脂材料等の成形材料の計量及び射出を行う。 The injection device used in the injection molding machine mainly measures and injects molding materials such as resin materials using a screw that is rotated by a metering motor and driven forward and backward by an injection motor.
 一般に計量では、計量モータによるスクリュの回転により、所定の量の成形材料を溶融させながらシリンダの先端側に送る。また射出では、計量にてシリンダの先端側に送られた所定量の成形材料を、射出モータによるスクリュの前進により、金型装置内に向けて射出する。その後、保圧として、射出モータでスクリュを更に前進させ、金型装置内の成形材料に所要の圧力を作用させることがある。 Generally, in metering, a predetermined amount of molding material is melted and sent to the tip side of the cylinder by rotation of the screw by the metering motor. In injection, a predetermined amount of molding material fed to the tip side of the cylinder by metering is injected into the mold device by advancing the screw by the injection motor. After that, as pressure holding, the screw may be further advanced by the injection motor to apply the required pressure to the molding material in the mold device.
 射出装置の射出モータは回転モータとして回転運動を出力するところ、この回転運動を、スクリュの軸方向の直線運動に変換するため、運動変換機構が用いられる。たとえば特許文献1には、そのような運動変換機構として、射出モータの回転運動で回転するねじ軸及び、そのねじ軸が内側に配置されたナットを含む射出装置が記載されている。また、計量モータ及び射出モータとスクリュとの間には、計量モータからの回転駆動力及び、射出モータから運動変換機構を経て伝わる軸方向の進退駆動力をそれぞれスクリュに伝達するための駆動力伝達部材が配置される。 The injection motor of the injection device outputs rotary motion as a rotary motor, and a motion conversion mechanism is used to convert this rotary motion into linear motion in the axial direction of the screw. For example, Patent Document 1 describes, as such a motion conversion mechanism, an injection device that includes a screw shaft that rotates with the rotary motion of an injection motor and a nut inside which the screw shaft is arranged. Further, between the metering motor and the injection motor and the screw, driving force transmission is provided for transmitting the rotational driving force from the metering motor and the axial advance/retreat driving force transmitted from the injection motor through the motion conversion mechanism to the screw, respectively. A member is placed.
 ところで、射出装置では、たとえば上記の保圧の際に、スクリュが成形材料から受ける反力等として、スクリュに軸方向に作用する軸方向力を検出する軸力センサが設けられる。 By the way, the injection device is provided with an axial force sensor that detects an axial force acting on the screw in the axial direction, such as a reaction force that the screw receives from the molding material, for example, during the pressure holding described above.
 軸力センサは、スクリュとともに回転せず、しかも、その取付け位置がスクリュに近いほど、軸方向力の検出精度が高くなるので望ましい。しかしながら、上述したように射出モータや計量モータからスクリュへの駆動力の伝達経路が複雑なこの種の射出装置で、軸力センサをスクリュの近傍にて回転しないように取り付けることは容易ではない。 It is preferable that the axial force sensor does not rotate with the screw and that the closer the mounting position is to the screw, the higher the detection accuracy of the axial force. However, it is not easy to mount the axial force sensor in the vicinity of the screw so that it does not rotate in the injection apparatus of this type, which has a complicated driving force transmission path from the injection motor and metering motor to the screw as described above.
 これに関し、特許文献1には、「前記回転移動軸と前記駆動軸との間に配設される圧力検出器」を有する射出装置で、「前記圧力検出器の回転を制限する回転制限機構を有する」ものが提案されている。 In relation to this, Patent Document 1 describes an injection apparatus having "a pressure detector arranged between the rotational movement shaft and the drive shaft," in which "a rotation limiting mechanism for limiting the rotation of the pressure detector is provided. has been proposed.

 特許文献1では、「圧力検出器」が「前記回転移動軸と前記駆動軸との間に配設される」としている。この「圧力検出器」は、軸方向力の検出精度の更なる向上の観点で改善の余地がある。 Patent Document 1 states that a "pressure detector" is "arranged between the rotational movement shaft and the drive shaft". This "pressure detector" has room for improvement in terms of further improving the detection accuracy of the axial force.
 この発明は、このような問題に対処することを課題とするものであり、その目的は、スクリュに作用する軸方向力を比較的高い精度で検出することができる射出装置を提供することにある。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to address such problems, and an object thereof is to provide an injection device capable of detecting with relatively high accuracy the axial force acting on the screw. .

It has an annular axial force sensor arranged to be relatively rotatable therebetween, and a rotation restraining member that restrains the rotation of the axial force sensor with respect to the rotation of the screw and the driving force transmission member.
 上述した射出装置によれば、スクリュに作用する軸方向力を比較的高い精度で検出することができる。 According to the injection device described above, the axial force acting on the screw can be detected with relatively high accuracy.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
The injection device 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 is an injection molding machine, which is arranged, for example, on a slide base 101 of a moving device for moving the injection device 1 forward and backward to inject a molding material into a mold device. . In this embodiment, the injection device 1 includes a screw 13 that is rotationally driven around a rotating shaft 12 inside a cylinder 11 and that is axially driven forward and backward (horizontal direction in FIG. 1); It has an injection motor 21 as a drive source and a metering motor 31 as a rotational drive source for the screw 13 . The rotational driving force from the metering motor 31 and the advancing/retreating driving force from the injection motor 21 are each transmitted to the screw 13 via the driving force transmission path.
(スクリュ)
 スクリュ13は、計量モータ31の内側からシリンダ11内に延びる回転軸12を有し、その主としてシリンダ11内に位置するスクリュ本体部13aの周囲に、螺旋状のフライトが設けられている。また、シリンダ11内のスクリュ先端部13bは、軸方向の前方側に向かうに従い先細りに形成されるとともに、スクリュ基端部13cは、計量モータ31の内側に位置して駆動力伝達経路に接続されている。
(screw)
The screw 13 has a rotary shaft 12 extending from the inside of the metering motor 31 into the cylinder 11, and a helical flight is provided around the screw main body 13a mainly located in the cylinder 11. As shown in FIG. Further, the tip end portion 13b of the screw inside the cylinder 11 is tapered toward the front in the axial direction, and the base end portion 13c of the screw is located inside the metering motor 31 and connected to the driving force transmission path. ing.
 なおここでは、スクリュ13の回転軸12に沿う方向を軸方向といい、この軸方向は図1では左右方向に相当する。スクリュ13の軸方向でスクリュ先端部13b側(図1では左側)を前方側とし、スクリュ基端部13c側(図1では右側)を後方側とする。 Here, the direction along the rotating shaft 12 of the screw 13 is called the axial direction, and this axial direction corresponds to the left-right direction in FIG. In the axial direction of the screw 13, the screw tip portion 13b side (the left side in FIG. 1) is the front side, and the screw base end portion 13c side (the right side in FIG. 1) is the rear side.
(射出モータ及び計量モータ)
 射出モータ21及び計量モータ31はそれぞれ、たとえば、スライドベース101上に立てて設けられた射出モータ支持部材22及び計量モータ支持部材32に、スクリュ13の軸方向の後方側で支持されて配置され得る。射出モータ支持部材22及び計量モータ支持部材32の相互は、たとえば、計量モータ31の周囲の複数箇所にてロッド24、25等で互いに連結される。
(injection motor and metering motor)
The injection motor 21 and the metering motor 31 can be arranged to be supported, for example, by the injection motor support member 22 and the metering motor support member 32, which are erected on the slide base 101, on the rear side in the axial direction of the screw 13. . The injection motor support member 22 and the weighing motor supporting member 32 are connected to each other by rods 24, 25 or the like at a plurality of locations around the weighing motor 31, for example.
 射出モータ21及び計量モータ31はいずれも回転モータとして回転運動を出力するものであり、それぞれ、回転子としてのロータ21a、31aと、ロータ21a、31aの外周側に配置されたコイルを含む固定子としてのステータ21b、31bと、内表面にステータ21b、31bが取り付けられたステータフレーム21c、31cとを含むものとすることができる。なお、ロータ21a、31aとステータフレーム21c、31cとの間には、軸受部21d、31dが設けられ得る。射出モータ21のステータフレーム21cの後端面には、ロータ21aと軸部25aで連結されてロータ21aの回転を検出するエンコーダ25bが設けられている。 Both the injection motor 21 and the metering motor 31 are rotary motors that output rotational motion, and each includes rotors 21a and 31a as rotors and stators including coils arranged on the outer peripheral side of the rotors 21a and 31a. and a stator frame 21c, 31c having the stator 21b, 31b attached to its inner surface. Bearing portions 21d and 31d may be provided between the rotors 21a and 31a and the stator frames 21c and 31c. An encoder 25b is provided on the rear end surface of the stator frame 21c of the injection motor 21 and is connected to the rotor 21a by a shaft portion 25a to detect the rotation of the rotor 21a.
 計量モータ31は、スクリュ13の軸方向で射出モータ21よりも前方側に位置し、その内側を駆動力伝達経路が通るように設けられている。 The metering motor 31 is located on the front side of the injection motor 21 in the axial direction of the screw 13, and is provided so that the driving force transmission path passes through the inner side thereof.
(駆動力伝達経路)
 この実施形態の射出装置1では、駆動力伝達経路は、主に、射出モータ21の回転運動をスクリュ13の軸方向の直線運動に変換する運動変換機構41と、スクリュ13のスクリュ基端部13cに接続され、計量モータ31の回転運動に基づく回転駆動力及び、運動変換機構41で変換される上記の直線運動に基づく進退駆動力をそれぞれスクリュ13に伝達する駆動力伝達部材51とを含んで構成されている。
(driving force transmission path)
In the injection device 1 of this embodiment, the driving force transmission path mainly includes a motion conversion mechanism 41 that converts the rotary motion of the injection motor 21 into axial linear motion of the screw 13, and the screw base end portion 13c of the screw 13. and a driving force transmission member 51 for transmitting to the screw 13 the rotational driving force based on the rotational motion of the metering motor 31 and the advancing/retreating driving force based on the linear motion converted by the motion conversion mechanism 41, respectively. It is configured.
 このうち、運動変換機構41には、射出モータ21の回転運動とともに回転するねじ軸42、及び、ねじ軸42が内側に配置されたナット43が含まれる。この例では、ナット43は、射出モータ21のステータフレーム21cと射出モータ支持部材22とを連結する筒体22aに固定して取り付けられている。 Among these, the motion conversion mechanism 41 includes a screw shaft 42 that rotates with the rotary motion of the injection motor 21, and a nut 43 inside which the screw shaft 42 is arranged. In this example, the nut 43 is fixedly attached to the cylindrical body 22a that connects the stator frame 21c of the injection motor 21 and the injection motor support member 22. As shown in FIG.
 ねじ軸42は、たとえば、ねじ軸基端部42aで、射出モータ21のロータ21aの内周側に設けられた筒状回転部材23の内周面とスプライン結合されており、射出モータ21による回転運動によってナット43内で回転して、軸方向の前方側へ前進し又は後方側へ後退することができる。ねじ軸基端部42aの外周面にはキー42bが、また筒状回転部材23の内周面にはそれに対応するキー溝がそれぞれ設けられている。これにより、射出モータ21の回転運動が軸方向の直線運動に変換される。 The screw shaft 42 is spline-connected, for example, at the screw shaft base end 42 a to the inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical rotating member 23 provided on the inner peripheral side of the rotor 21 a of the injection motor 21 . The movement can rotate within the nut 43 to advance axially forward or retract axially. A key 42b is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the screw shaft base end portion 42a, and a corresponding key groove is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical rotating member 23, respectively. As a result, the rotary motion of the injection motor 21 is converted into axial linear motion.
 但し、運動変換機構は、ねじ軸及びナットを含み、射出モータ21の回転運動を直線運動に変換できるものであれば、ねじ軸42が射出モータ21側の筒状回転部材23とスプライン結合された図示のものに限らない。 However, if the motion conversion mechanism includes a screw shaft and a nut, and can convert the rotary motion of the injection motor 21 into linear motion, the screw shaft 42 is spline-connected to the cylindrical rotating member 23 on the injection motor 21 side. It is not limited to the illustrated one.
 駆動力伝達部材51は、たとえば次に述べるような構造とすることができる。この実施形態では、計量モータ31の内側に配置された駆動力伝達部材51は、図2に示すように、上記のねじ軸42の、ナット43から軸方向の前方側に突出するねじ軸先端部42cの周囲を取り囲む筒状本体部52と、筒状本体部52の軸方向の前方側の開口部を覆って設けられた前端壁部53とを有する。 The driving force transmission member 51 can have, for example, a structure as described below. In this embodiment, the driving force transmission member 51 arranged inside the metering motor 31 is, as shown in FIG. 42c, and a front end wall 53 provided to cover the front opening of the tubular main body 52 in the axial direction.
 ねじ軸先端部42cは、駆動力伝達部材51の前端壁部53の軸方向の後方側に、スラスト自動調心ころ軸受その他のスラスト軸受等のベアリング54を介して連結することができる。これにより、ねじ軸先端部42cは、駆動力伝達部材51に対して相対的に回転することが可能になる。なおここでは、ベアリング54の内輪がねじ軸先端部42cに取り付けられるとともに、ベアリング54の外輪が前端壁部53に取り付けられている。また、駆動力伝達部材51の筒状本体部52の外周面には、キー52aが設けられており、これが計量モータ31のロータ31aの内周面のキー溝に嵌め合わされることにより、筒状本体部52とロータ31aとがスプライン結合される。 The tip portion 42c of the screw shaft can be connected to the rear side in the axial direction of the front end wall portion 53 of the driving force transmission member 51 via a bearing 54 such as a self-aligning thrust roller bearing or other thrust bearing. This allows the screw shaft tip portion 42 c to rotate relative to the driving force transmission member 51 . Here, the inner ring of the bearing 54 is attached to the screw shaft tip portion 42 c and the outer ring of the bearing 54 is attached to the front end wall portion 53 . A key 52a is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body portion 52 of the driving force transmission member 51, and is fitted into a key groove on the inner peripheral surface of the rotor 31a of the weighing motor 31 to form a cylindrical shape. The body portion 52 and the rotor 31a are spline-connected.
 一方、スクリュ13はスクリュ基端部13cで、駆動力伝達部材51の前端壁部53の軸方向の前方側に接続される。 On the other hand, the screw base end portion 13c of the screw 13 is connected to the front side in the axial direction of the front end wall portion 53 of the driving force transmission member 51 .
 駆動力伝達部材51を上記のような構造とすれば、計量モータ31の回転運動とともに駆動力伝達部材51が回転し、その回転とは独立して、運動変換機構41のねじ軸42の直線運動に伴って駆動力伝達部材51が直線運動することができる。これにより、駆動力伝達部材51に接続されたスクリュ13に、計量モータ31の回転運動に基づく回転駆動力、及び、運動変換機構41のねじ軸42の直線運動に基づく進退駆動力がそれぞれ有効に伝わる。 If the driving force transmission member 51 is constructed as described above, the driving force transmission member 51 rotates together with the rotary motion of the weighing motor 31, and the linear motion of the screw shaft 42 of the motion conversion mechanism 41 occurs independently of the rotation. Accordingly, the driving force transmission member 51 can move linearly. As a result, the screw 13 connected to the driving force transmission member 51 receives the rotational driving force based on the rotational motion of the metering motor 31 and the advancing/retreating driving force based on the linear motion of the screw shaft 42 of the motion conversion mechanism 41 respectively. transmitted.
(軸力検出部)
 ところで、射出成形機で射出成形を行うに際し、射出装置1では、計量モータ31でスクリュ13を回転させ、成形材料を溶融させながらシリンダ11の先端側に送って計量を行い、次いで、射出モータ21でスクリュ13を前進させ、シリンダ11の先端側の成形材料を金型装置内に射出する。その後、射出モータ21でスクリュ13を更に前進させ、金型装置内の成形材料に所定の圧力を作用させる保圧が行われる。
(Axial force detector)
By the way, when performing injection molding with an injection molding machine, in the injection device 1, the screw 13 is rotated by the metering motor 31, and the molding material is melted and fed to the tip side of the cylinder 11 for metering. , the screw 13 is advanced to inject the molding material on the tip side of the cylinder 11 into the mold device. Thereafter, the screw 13 is further advanced by the injection motor 21, and holding pressure is performed to apply a predetermined pressure to the molding material in the mold device.
 このような保圧等の際に、スクリュ13に対して軸方向に作用している軸方向力を検出することが必要になる。スクリュ13に作用する軸方向力を検出するため、射出装置1には、軸力センサが設けられる。 During such holding pressure, it is necessary to detect the axial force acting on the screw 13 in the axial direction. In order to detect the axial force acting on the screw 13, the injection device 1 is provided with an axial force sensor.
 軸力センサは、上述した駆動力伝達経路の軸方向の後方側の箇所、たとえば、射出モータ21と射出モータ支持部材22との間の筒体22a等の箇所に設けることも可能である。但し、この場合、軸方向力が、スクリュ13から駆動力伝達経路の、特に計量モータ31側とスプライン結合され得る駆動力伝達部材51を経て、当該軸力センサに伝わることになり、計量モータ31側と駆動力伝達部材51との間での摺動抵抗等の影響を受けて、軸方向力の検出精度が低下する。あるいは、仮に軸力センサを、駆動力伝達部材51の内側でねじ軸先端部42cとの間に設けたとしても、その軸力センサで検出される軸方向力に、駆動力伝達部材51の同様の摺動抵抗力等が含まれ得るので、所期したほど高い精度の検出結果が得られないことが懸念される。したがって、軸力センサは、スクリュ13により近い位置に設けることが望ましい。 The axial force sensor can also be provided at a location on the rear side in the axial direction of the driving force transmission path described above, for example, at a location such as the cylindrical body 22 a between the injection motor 21 and the injection motor support member 22 . However, in this case, the axial force is transmitted from the screw 13 to the axial force sensor via the drive force transmission member 51 that can be spline-connected to the drive force transmission path, particularly the metering motor 31 side. Due to the influence of sliding resistance between the side and the driving force transmission member 51, the detection accuracy of the axial force is lowered. Alternatively, even if an axial force sensor is provided inside the driving force transmission member 51 between the screw shaft tip portion 42c and the axial force detected by the axial force sensor, the force in the driving force transmission member 51 may be affected by the axial force detected by the axial force sensor. , there is a concern that it may not be possible to obtain detection results with as high accuracy as expected. Therefore, it is desirable to provide the axial force sensor at a position closer to the screw 13 .
 他方、スクリュ13の近傍では、計量モータ31により回転駆動力が伝わる駆動力伝達部材51やスクリュ13が回転するところ、その回転とともに軸力センサも回転すると、軸力センサによる軸方向力の検出精度が低下する。 On the other hand, in the vicinity of the screw 13, when the driving force transmission member 51 to which the rotational driving force is transmitted by the weighing motor 31 and the screw 13 rotate, the axial force sensor also rotates along with the rotation. decreases.
 かかる状況の下、図示の実施形態では、スクリュ13に対して軸方向に作用する軸方向力を検出する軸力検出部61が、スクリュ13の回転軸12の周囲にてスクリュ13と駆動力伝達部材51との間で相対的に回転可能に配置されたワッシャ型等のロードセルその他の環状の軸力センサ62と、スクリュ13及び駆動力伝達部材51の回転に対して軸力センサ62の回転を抑止する回転抑止部材63を有するものとする。 Under such circumstances, in the illustrated embodiment, the axial force detection unit 61 that detects the axial force acting on the screw 13 in the axial direction transmits the driving force to the screw 13 around the rotating shaft 12 of the screw 13. An annular axial force sensor 62 such as a washer type load cell or the like arranged to be relatively rotatable with the member 51 , and a rotation of the axial force sensor 62 with respect to the rotation of the screw 13 and the driving force transmission member 51 . It is assumed that there is a rotation restraining member 63 for restraining.
 このようにすれば、軸力センサ62は、駆動力伝達部材51よりも軸方向の前方側でスクリュ13との間に位置し、スクリュ13の近くにあるので、スクリュ13からの軸方向力を検出するに当たり、駆動力伝達経路中の駆動力伝達部材51の摺動抵抗等の影響をほぼ受けない。また、軸力センサ62は、回転抑止部材63で、スクリュ13及び駆動力伝達部材51の回転に対して回転することが抑えられる。その結果、軸力センサ62により、軸方向力を高い精度で検出できるようになる。 With this configuration, the axial force sensor 62 is located between the screw 13 and the driving force transmission member 51 on the front side in the axial direction and is close to the screw 13 , so that the axial force from the screw 13 can be detected. In the detection, there is almost no influence of the sliding resistance of the driving force transmission member 51 in the driving force transmission path. Further, the axial force sensor 62 is prevented from rotating with respect to the rotation of the screw 13 and the driving force transmission member 51 by the rotation suppressing member 63 . As a result, the axial force sensor 62 can detect the axial force with high accuracy.
 ここで、回転抑止部材63は、たとえば、スクリュ13や駆動力伝達部材51とともに回転することのない部材に軸力センサ62を連結すること等により、軸力センサ62の回転を抑止可能なものとすることができる。図2、3に例示する回転抑止部材63は、軸力センサ62を計量モータ支持部材32に連結するものであり、これにより、スクリュ13及び駆動力伝達部材51の回転で引き起こされ得る軸力センサ62の回転が抑えられている。 Here, the rotation restraining member 63 can restrain the rotation of the axial force sensor 62 by connecting the axial force sensor 62 to a member that does not rotate together with the screw 13 and the driving force transmission member 51, for example. can do. A rotation restraining member 63 illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 connects the axial force sensor 62 to the metering motor support member 32, thereby preventing the axial force sensor from being induced by the rotation of the screw 13 and the driving force transmission member 51. 62 rotation is suppressed.
 より詳細には、計量モータ支持部材32には、回転抑止部材63が挿入されて配置されるスライド穴33が設けられている。回転抑止部材63用の当該スライド穴33の形状は、そこに挿入される回転抑止部材63が軸方向にスライドできるように、回転抑止部材63の形状に対応させて適宜決定される。回転抑止部材63は、たとえば、図示のように、スクリュ13の回転軸12の周囲を取り囲む円筒等の筒状とすることができる。あるいは、図示は省略するが、回転抑止部材63は、スクリュ13の回転軸12の外周側で軸方向に延びる一個以上又は、その周方向に互いに間隔をおいた複数個の棒状もしくは板状としてもよい。 More specifically, the weighing motor support member 32 is provided with a slide hole 33 into which the rotation restraining member 63 is inserted. The shape of the slide hole 33 for the rotation restraint member 63 is appropriately determined corresponding to the shape of the rotation restraint member 63 so that the rotation restraint member 63 inserted therein can slide in the axial direction. The rotation restraint member 63 can be, for example, a tubular shape such as a cylinder that surrounds the rotating shaft 12 of the screw 13 as shown in the drawing. Alternatively, although not shown, the rotation restraint member 63 may be one or more axially extending on the outer peripheral side of the rotating shaft 12 of the screw 13, or may be a plurality of bar-shaped or plate-shaped members spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction. good.
 回転抑止部材63は上述したいずれの形状であったとしても、計量モータ支持部材32のスライド穴33内で軸方向にスライド可能とすることが好ましい。それにより、たとえば、射出モータ21から駆動力伝達部材51を経てスクリュ13に前進する向きの進退駆動力が伝達されたとき、回転抑止部材63は、図3に示すように、スライド穴33内をスライドして、駆動力伝達部材51とスクリュ13との間の軸力センサ62とともに前進することができる。スクリュ13を後退する向きの進退駆動力が伝達すると、回転抑止部材63及び軸力センサ62は、図2に示すように、駆動力伝達部材51及びスクリュ13とともに後退する。このような前進及び後退に際し、スライド穴33は、そこに挿入された回転抑止部材63の、回転軸12の周方向への変位を規制するので、回転抑止部材63及び軸力センサの回転が抑止される。 The rotation restraint member 63 is preferably slidable in the axial direction within the slide hole 33 of the weighing motor support member 32 regardless of the shape described above. As a result, for example, when an advance/retreat driving force is transmitted from the injection motor 21 to the screw 13 via the driving force transmission member 51, the rotation restraint member 63 moves inside the slide hole 33 as shown in FIG. It can slide and move forward together with the axial force sensor 62 between the driving force transmission member 51 and the screw 13 . When the driving force for retracting the screw 13 is transmitted, the rotation suppressing member 63 and the axial force sensor 62 retract together with the driving force transmitting member 51 and the screw 13, as shown in FIG. During such forward and backward movement, the slide hole 33 restricts the displacement of the rotation restraining member 63 inserted therein in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 12, thereby restraining the rotation of the rotation restraining member 63 and the axial force sensor. be done.
 なおこのとき、回転抑止部材63は、その軸方向の前方側の部分が、図3に示すように、計量モータ支持部材32を突き抜けて、計量モータ支持部材32よりも軸方向の前方側に突出することがあるが、そのような突出の有無や突出量は、周囲の部材との配置関係を考慮した上で設計することが望ましい。また、図示のスライド穴33は、計量モータ支持部材32を軸方向に貫通しているが、計量モータ支持部材を軸方向に貫通しないスライド穴も可能である。 At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the axially forward portion of the rotation restraint member 63 penetrates the weighing motor support member 32 and protrudes further forward in the axial direction than the weighing motor support member 32. However, it is desirable to design the presence or absence of such a protrusion and the amount of protrusion in consideration of the arrangement relationship with surrounding members. Further, although the illustrated slide hole 33 axially penetrates the weighing motor support member 32, a slide hole that does not axially penetrate the weighing motor support member is also possible.
 回転抑止部材は、上記のような軸力センサ62を計量モータ支持部材32に連結するものに限らない。たとえば、図4に示す他の実施形態の軸力検出部161では、軸力センサ162を計量モータ31のステータフレーム31cに連結する回転抑止部材163を設けている。 The rotation restraining member is not limited to connecting the axial force sensor 62 to the weighing motor support member 32 as described above. For example, an axial force detector 161 of another embodiment shown in FIG.
 図4の回転抑止部材163は、一例として、軸力センサ162から軸方向に延びる筒状部分163aと、筒状部分163aの軸方向の前方側の端部から外周側に延びてステータフレーム31cに至るフランジ状部分163bを含む形状を有する。ステータフレーム31cは、計量モータ支持部材32の軸方向の後方側に固定して取り付けられるものであり、回転抑止部材163は、このステータフレーム31cに軸力センサ62を連結することで、軸力センサ62の回転を抑えるべく機能し得る。 4 includes, for example, a tubular portion 163a extending axially from the axial force sensor 162, and an axial front end portion of the tubular portion 163a extending outward to the stator frame 31c. It has a shape that includes a flange-like portion 163b leading to it. The stator frame 31c is fixedly attached to the rear side of the weighing motor support member 32 in the axial direction. 62 may function to dampen the rotation.
 なおここでは、たとえば回転抑止部材163の筒状部分163aがフランジ状部分163bに対して軸方向にスライド可能に構成すること等により、軸力センサ162は、進退駆動力の伝達時に駆動力伝達部材51及びスクリュ13とともに前進し又は後退することができる。図4の実施形態は、軸力検出部161の回転抑止部材163以外の構成については、図2、3に示すものと実質的に同じとすることができる。筒状部分163a及びフランジ状部分163bを含む回転抑止部材163に代えて、回転軸12の周方向の一箇所以上に設けられて軸方向の途中で折れ曲がる棒状もしくは板状の回転抑止部材としてもよい。 Here, for example, by configuring the tubular portion 163a of the rotation restraint member 163 to be slidable in the axial direction with respect to the flange-shaped portion 163b, the axial force sensor 162 can detect the driving force transmitting member when the driving force is transmitted. It can move forward or backward with 51 and screw 13 . The embodiment of FIG. 4 can be substantially the same as those shown in FIGS. Instead of the rotation restraint member 163 including the cylindrical portion 163a and the flange-shaped portion 163b, a rod-shaped or plate-shaped rotation restraint member that is provided at one or more locations in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 12 and that bends midway in the axial direction may be used. .
 軸力センサ62が、有線で信号の送受信及び/又は給電を行うものである場合、軸力検出部61に含まれる軸力センサ62の配線64は、図2、3に破線で示すように、軸力センサ62から、たとえば回転抑止部材63の内部等にて回転抑止部材63に沿って、スライド穴33を通るように延ばすことができる。それにより、周囲の駆動力伝達部材51やスクリュ13の回転や進退変位に伴う配線64の切断ないし破損を抑制することができる。なお、無線通信かつ非接触給電の軸力センサでは、そのような配線は省略され得る。 In the case where the axial force sensor 62 transmits and/or receives signals by wire and/or feeds power, the wiring 64 of the axial force sensor 62 included in the axial force detection unit 61 is, as shown by broken lines in FIGS. It can extend from the axial force sensor 62 along the rotation restraining member 63 , such as inside the rotation restraining member 63 , so as to pass through the slide hole 33 . As a result, it is possible to suppress the disconnection or damage of the wiring 64 due to the rotation or forward/backward displacement of the surrounding driving force transmission member 51 or the screw 13 . Such wiring may be omitted in an axial force sensor for wireless communication and contactless power supply.
 駆動力伝達部材51は、軸力センサ62に対して相対的に回転可能とするため、図5に拡大図で示すように、前端壁部53で軸力センサ62との間にベアリング55を介在させて軸力センサ62と連結することができる。このベアリング55は、スクリュ13から軸方向力が伝わる軸力センサ62をその背後から軸方向に有効に支持するため、スラスト軸受、なかでも、調心性を有して取付け誤差等の影響を受けないスラスト自動調心ころ軸受とすることが好適である。 Since the driving force transmission member 51 is rotatable relative to the axial force sensor 62, a bearing 55 is interposed between the front end wall portion 53 and the axial force sensor 62, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. can be connected to the axial force sensor 62. Since the bearing 55 effectively supports the axial force sensor 62 to which the axial force is transmitted from the screw 13 in the axial direction from behind, the thrust bearing, above all, has alignment properties and is not affected by mounting errors and the like. A self-aligning thrust roller bearing is preferred.
 図示の軸力センサ62は、軸方向の後方側表面の外周縁に、当該後方側に突き出る外側環状部62aを設けている。また、駆動力伝達部材51の前端壁部53には、軸方向の前方側に盛り上がる中央***部53aが設けられている。上記のベアリング55は、その内輪が、駆動力伝達部材51の前端壁部53の前方側表面と中央***部53aとの間に取り付けられるとともに、外輪が、軸力センサ62の後方側表面と外側環状部62aとの間に取り付けられている。このようにベアリング55の内輪を駆動力伝達部材51の前端壁部53に取り付け、外輪を軸力センサ62に取り付けたときは、図示のように配置した軸力センサ62が、駆動力伝達部材51の前端壁部53で軸方向により確実に支持されるので、軸力センサ62による軸方向の検出精度をさらに高めることができる。 The illustrated axial force sensor 62 is provided with an outer annular portion 62a protruding rearward on the outer peripheral edge of the surface on the rearward side in the axial direction. Further, the front end wall portion 53 of the driving force transmission member 51 is provided with a central raised portion 53a that rises forward in the axial direction. The bearing 55 has an inner ring mounted between the front surface of the front end wall portion 53 of the driving force transmission member 51 and the central raised portion 53a, and an outer ring mounted between the rear surface of the axial force sensor 62 and the outer side. It is attached between the annular portion 62a. When the inner ring of the bearing 55 is attached to the front end wall portion 53 of the driving force transmission member 51 and the outer ring is attached to the axial force sensor 62 in this way, the axial force sensor 62 arranged as illustrated The axial force sensor 62 can further increase the detection accuracy in the axial direction.
 ところで、図示の例では、駆動力伝達部材51の前端壁部53の中央***部53a上には、軸方向に延びる連結筒部53bが設けられている。一方、スクリュ13の回転軸12は、スクリュ基端部13cの軸端部12aが、連結筒部53b内に挿入されている。それらの連結筒部53b及び軸端部12aは、スクリュ13と駆動力伝達部材51との接続箇所として、駆動力伝達部材51からスクリュ13へ回転駆動力を伝えるカップリング部を構成する。 By the way, in the illustrated example, on the central raised portion 53a of the front end wall portion 53 of the driving force transmission member 51, a connecting cylinder portion 53b extending in the axial direction is provided. On the other hand, the rotating shaft 12 of the screw 13 has the shaft end portion 12a of the screw base end portion 13c inserted into the connecting cylinder portion 53b. The connecting tube portion 53 b and the shaft end portion 12 a constitute a coupling portion for transmitting the rotational driving force from the driving force transmitting member 51 to the screw 13 as a connecting portion between the screw 13 and the driving force transmitting member 51 .
 また、この実施形態では、スクリュ13はスクリュ基端部13cに、図5に示すように、回転軸12に固定して設けられ、回転軸12から外周側に延びて連結筒部53bを内側に保持するジョイントフランジ14が設けられている。ジョイントフランジ14は、たとえば保圧後や計量後等にスクリュ13を後退させる動作(いわゆるサックバック)の際にあっても、スクリュ13が駆動力伝達部材51から大きく離隔することがないように、スクリュ13と駆動力伝達部材51とを軸方向に確実に接続するべく機能する。 Further, in this embodiment, the screw 13 is fixed to the rotary shaft 12 at the screw base end portion 13c, as shown in FIG. A retaining joint flange 14 is provided. The joint flange 14 is designed so that the screw 13 does not largely separate from the driving force transmission member 51 even when the screw 13 is retracted (so-called suckback) after pressure holding or metering. It functions to reliably connect the screw 13 and the driving force transmission member 51 in the axial direction.
 ジョイントフランジ14は、たとえば、回転軸12に食い込んで連結され、外周側に円環等の環状に拡がるフランジ部15と、フランジ部15の軸方向の後方側に嵌め合わされて連結筒部53bの外周側を取り囲むリング部16とを含むことができる。フランジ部15は、外周縁から軸方向の後方側に延びるとともに内周側に折れ曲がる外側嵌合部15aを有し、またリング部16は、内周縁から軸方向の前方側に延びるとともに外周側に折れ曲がる内側嵌合部16aを有し、フランジ部15とリング部16は、それらの外側嵌合部15a及び内側嵌合部16aで嵌め合わされている。なお、後述する軸力検出部61のメンテナンスの際の解体を容易にするため、ジョイントフランジ14は、フランジ部15を二個等の複数個の分解可能な部品で構成すること等により、回転軸12に対して着脱可能に取り付けられることが好ましい。 The joint flange 14 is, for example, biting into and connected to the rotating shaft 12, and is fitted to the flange portion 15 extending in an annular shape such as an annular ring on the outer peripheral side, and is fitted to the rear side of the flange portion 15 in the axial direction to form the outer periphery of the connecting cylinder portion 53b. and a ring portion 16 surrounding the sides. The flange portion 15 has an outer fitting portion 15a that extends axially rearward from the outer peripheral edge and is bent inwardly. It has a bent inner fitting portion 16a, and the flange portion 15 and the ring portion 16 are fitted at the outer fitting portion 15a and the inner fitting portion 16a. In addition, in order to facilitate disassembly for maintenance of the axial force detection unit 61, which will be described later, the joint flange 14 is configured by composing the flange portion 15 from a plurality of disassembleable parts, such as two pieces. It is preferably attached detachably to 12 .
 スクリュ13が上記のようなジョイントフランジ14を有する場合、軸力センサ62は、軸端部12a及び連結筒部53bの周囲で、スクリュ13のジョイントフランジ14と駆動力伝達部材51の前端壁部53との間に位置させることができる。 When the screw 13 has the joint flange 14 as described above, the axial force sensor 62 is positioned between the joint flange 14 of the screw 13 and the front end wall portion 53 of the driving force transmission member 51 around the shaft end portion 12a and the connecting cylinder portion 53b. can be positioned between
 この場合、ジョイントフランジ14のリング部16と軸力センサ62との間にベアリング17を介在させることにより、スクリュ13をジョイントフランジ14で、軸力センサ62と相対的に回転可能に連結することができる。ジョイントフランジ14と軸力センサ62との間のこのベアリング17は、先に述べたような駆動力伝達部材51と軸力センサ62との間のベアリング55について説明したところと同様の理由から、スラスト軸受、特にスラスト自動調心ころ軸受とすることが好ましい。 In this case, by interposing the bearing 17 between the ring portion 16 of the joint flange 14 and the axial force sensor 62, the screw 13 can be relatively rotatably connected to the axial force sensor 62 by the joint flange 14. can. This bearing 17 between the joint flange 14 and the axial force sensor 62 is a thrust sensor for the same reason as the bearing 55 between the driving force transmission member 51 and the axial force sensor 62 as described above. It is preferred that the bearing be a self-aligning thrust roller bearing.
 ジョイントフランジ14から軸力センサ62へ軸方向力がより一層確実に伝わるようにするため、ジョイントフランジ14と軸力センサ62との間のベアリング17の内輪を、軸力センサ62に取り付けるとともに、ベアリング17の外輪を、ジョイントフランジ14のリング部16に取り付けることが好適である。なお、この例では、軸力センサ62の軸方向の前方側表面と、その前方側表面の内周縁に設けられて前方側に突き出る内側環状部62bとの間に、ベアリング17の内輪を取り付けている。また、ジョイントフランジ14のリング部16の外縁には、軸方向の後方側に突出する筒状突出部分16bが形成されており、その筒状突出部分16bでベアリング17の外輪が支持されている。 In order to transmit the axial force from the joint flange 14 to the axial force sensor 62 more reliably, the inner ring of the bearing 17 between the joint flange 14 and the axial force sensor 62 is attached to the axial force sensor 62 and the bearing 17 is preferably attached to the ring portion 16 of the joint flange 14 . In this example, the inner ring of the bearing 17 is attached between the axial front side surface of the axial force sensor 62 and the inner annular portion 62b provided on the inner peripheral edge of the front side surface and protruding forward. there is A cylindrical projecting portion 16b projecting rearward in the axial direction is formed on the outer edge of the ring portion 16 of the joint flange 14, and the outer ring of the bearing 17 is supported by the cylindrical projecting portion 16b.
 図示の実施形態では、軸力センサ62は、ジョイントフランジ14との間のベアリング17を内側環状部62bで支持し、また駆動力伝達部材51の前端壁部53との間のベアリング55を外側環状部62aで支持している。これにより、環状の前記軸力センサは、スクリュ13のジョイントフランジ14とのベアリング17を介する連結箇所が、駆動力伝達部材51の前端壁部53とのベアリング55を介する連結箇所よりも内周側に位置する。 In the illustrated embodiment, the axial force sensor 62 supports the bearing 17 between the joint flange 14 and the inner annular portion 62b, and supports the bearing 55 between the front end wall portion 53 of the driving force transmission member 51 and the outer annular portion. It is supported by the portion 62a. As a result, in the annular axial force sensor, the connecting portion between the screw 13 and the joint flange 14 via the bearing 17 is located on the inner peripheral side of the connecting portion between the driving force transmission member 51 and the front end wall portion 53 via the bearing 55 . Located in
 またここでは、スクリュ13から回転軸12を介してジョイントフランジ14に伝わる軸方向力が、ジョイントフランジ14と前端壁部53との間の軸力センサ62により確実に伝達されるように、スクリュ13の軸端部12a及びジョイントフランジ14と、連結筒部53bとが、軸方向に相対変位できるようにすることが好ましい。 Further, here, the screw 13 is arranged so that the axial force transmitted from the screw 13 to the joint flange 14 via the rotating shaft 12 is reliably transmitted by the axial force sensor 62 between the joint flange 14 and the front end wall portion 53 . It is preferable that the axial end portion 12a and the joint flange 14 of the joint member 53b and the connecting tubular portion 53b are relatively displaceable in the axial direction.
 具体的には、たとえば、軸端部12aの外周面及び連結筒部53bの内周面にそれぞれキー及びキー溝を設けるとともに、連結筒部53bの外周面及びジョイントフランジ14のリング部16の内周面にそれぞれキー及びキー溝を設け、それらをスプライン結合することができる。またここでは、軸端部12aの端面と連結筒部53bの底面との間、及び、連結筒部53bの開口部の周面とジョイントフランジ14との間に、軸方向に僅かにクリアランスC1、C2をそれぞれ設ける。これにより、スクリュ13は、駆動力伝達部材51に対する軸方向の若干の相対変位が可能になり、スクリュ13に作用する軸方向力が、ジョイントフランジ14と駆動力伝達部材51との間の軸力センサ62に有効に伝わるので、軸力センサ62は軸方向力をより高い精度で検出することができる。 Specifically, for example, a key and a key groove are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft end portion 12a and the inner peripheral surface of the connecting tubular portion 53b, respectively, and the outer peripheral surface of the connecting tubular portion 53b and the inner peripheral surface of the ring portion 16 of the joint flange 14 are provided. A key and a keyway can be provided on the peripheral surfaces, respectively, and splined together. Further, here, there is a slight clearance C1 in the axial direction between the end surface of the shaft end portion 12a and the bottom surface of the connecting tube portion 53b, and between the peripheral surface of the opening of the connecting tube portion 53b and the joint flange 14. C2 is provided respectively. As a result, the screw 13 can be slightly displaced in the axial direction relative to the driving force transmission member 51 , and the axial force acting on the screw 13 is the axial force between the joint flange 14 and the driving force transmission member 51 . Since it is effectively transmitted to the sensor 62, the axial force sensor 62 can detect the axial force with higher accuracy.
 なお、スクリュ13が上記のようなジョイントフランジ14を有しない場合は、図6に示す実施形態のように、スクリュ13の回転軸12のスクリュ基端部13cに、軸力伝達フランジ214を固定して設けることができる。軸力伝達フランジ214は、ベアリング17を介して軸力センサ62と相対的に回転可能に連結されている。図6では、軸端部12aと連結筒部53bとをスプライン結合するとともに、軸端部12aと連結筒部53bとの間及び、軸力伝達フランジ214と連結筒部53bとの間にそれぞれクリアランスC1、C2を設けることで、スクリュ13から軸方向力が軸力伝達フランジ214を介して、軸力センサ62に有効に伝達される。図6の実施形態は、ジョイントフランジ14を軸力伝達フランジ214に代えたことを除いて、先述したものとほぼ同様の構成を有する。軸力伝達フランジ214を二個等の複数個の分解可能な部品で構成すること等により、回転軸12に対して着脱可能に取り付けられることが好ましい。 When the screw 13 does not have the joint flange 14 as described above, an axial force transmission flange 214 is fixed to the screw base end portion 13c of the rotating shaft 12 of the screw 13 as in the embodiment shown in FIG. can be provided. The axial force transmission flange 214 is relatively rotatably connected to the axial force sensor 62 via the bearing 17 . In FIG. 6, the shaft end portion 12a and the connecting tube portion 53b are spline-connected, and clearances are provided between the shaft end portion 12a and the connecting tube portion 53b and between the axial force transmission flange 214 and the connecting tube portion 53b. By providing C<b>1 and C<b>2 , the axial force from the screw 13 is effectively transmitted to the axial force sensor 62 via the axial force transmission flange 214 . The embodiment of FIG. 6 has substantially the same configuration as described above, except that joint flange 14 is replaced with axial force transmission flange 214 . It is preferable that the axial force transmission flange 214 is detachably attached to the rotating shaft 12 by, for example, forming the axial force transmission flange 214 with a plurality of disassembleable parts such as two pieces.
 ところで、図1~3、5及び6に示す実施形態のように、軸力検出部61の回転抑止部材63が、軸力センサ62を計量モータ支持部材32に連結するものとしたとき、計量モータ支持部材32の、回転抑止部材63により軸力センサ62が連結されるセンサ連結部は、計量モータ31を支持するモータ支持部と一体に形成することも可能である。但し、後述するような軸力検出部61のメンテナンスを容易に行い得るようにするため、図示の実施形態のように、計量モータ支持部材32のセンサ連結部32bは、枠状等のモータ支持部32aと別体とするとともに、モータ支持部32aに対して着脱可能に構成することが好ましい。この場合、先に述べたようにスライド穴33が設けられ得るセンサ連結部32bは、回転抑止部材63の棒状もしくは板状又は筒状等の形状も考慮し、筒状等の形状とすることができる。 By the way, as in the embodiments shown in FIGS. The sensor connection portion of the support member 32 to which the axial force sensor 62 is connected by the rotation restraint member 63 can be formed integrally with the motor support portion that supports the weighing motor 31 . However, in order to facilitate maintenance of the axial force detection unit 61, which will be described later, the sensor connection portion 32b of the weighing motor support member 32 is replaced with a frame-shaped motor support portion as in the illustrated embodiment. 32a, and preferably detachable from the motor support portion 32a. In this case, as described above, the sensor connecting portion 32b in which the slide hole 33 can be provided can be formed in a cylindrical shape, etc., taking into consideration the shape of the rotation restraint member 63, such as a bar shape, a plate shape, or a cylindrical shape. can.
 なお、この計量モータ支持部材32は、図1に示すように、枠状等のモータ支持部32aの軸方向の前方側に、スクリュ13が通る穴部32dが設けられたシリンダ支持部32cが取外し可能に取り付けられている。シリンダ支持部32cには、シリンダ11内への成形材料の供給口の近傍に、図示は省略するが、水冷等による冷却器を設けることができる。 As shown in FIG. 1, the weighing motor support member 32 has a frame-like motor support portion 32a and a cylinder support portion 32c provided with a hole 32d through which the screw 13 passes. installed as possible. The cylinder support portion 32c can be provided with a cooler by water cooling or the like, although not shown, in the vicinity of the supply port of the molding material into the cylinder 11. As shown in FIG.
 上述した射出装置1は、たとえば、軸力センサ62の交換その他の軸力検出部61のメンテナンスを行うに当り、次に述べるようにして解体することができる。はじめに、計量モータ支持部材32のモータ支持部32aから、シリンダ支持部32cをシリンダ11とともに取り外し、これにより、図7に示すように、スクリュ13を露出させる。 For example, when replacing the axial force sensor 62 or otherwise performing maintenance on the axial force detection unit 61, the injection device 1 described above can be disassembled as described below. First, the cylinder support portion 32c is removed together with the cylinder 11 from the motor support portion 32a of the metering motor support member 32, thereby exposing the screw 13 as shown in FIG.
 次いで、スライド穴33内で回転抑止部材63をスライドさせつつ、センサ連結部32bを、図8に示すように、計量モータ支持部材32のモータ支持部32aから取り外す。
 そうすると、スクリュ基端部13cにアクセスすることが可能になるので、スクリュ基端部13cにおけるジョイントフランジ14のフランジ部15を分解してスクリュ13から取り外すとともに、スクリュ13と駆動力伝達部材51との接続を解除し、スクリュ13の回転軸12の軸端部12aを駆動力伝達部材51の連結筒部53bから引き抜き、図9に示す状態とする。
Next, while sliding the rotation restraint member 63 within the slide hole 33, the sensor connection portion 32b is removed from the motor support portion 32a of the weighing motor support member 32, as shown in FIG.
This makes it possible to access the screw base end portion 13c, so that the flange portion 15 of the joint flange 14 at the screw base end portion 13c is disassembled and removed from the screw 13, and the screw 13 and the driving force transmission member 51 are separated. The connection is released, and the shaft end portion 12a of the rotary shaft 12 of the screw 13 is pulled out from the connecting cylinder portion 53b of the driving force transmission member 51, resulting in the state shown in FIG.
 その後、ジョイントフランジ14の残りのリング部16及びベアリング17を外すことにより、軸力検出部61の軸力センサ62及び回転抑止部材63を取り出すことができる。それにより、図10に示す状態となる。 After that, by removing the remaining ring portion 16 and bearing 17 of the joint flange 14, the axial force sensor 62 and the rotation restraint member 63 of the axial force detection portion 61 can be taken out. As a result, the state shown in FIG. 10 is obtained.
 このような解体では、計量モータ31及び駆動力伝達部材51並びに、射出モータ21側の部分は分解せずに、軸力検出部61を取り出すことができる。したがって、この実施形態によれば、先述したように、軸力検出部61を射出装置1の内部でスクリュ13の近傍に配置することで、軸方向力の検出精度を高めつつも、軸力検出部61のメンテナンスを比較的迅速かつ容易に行うことができる。なお、このようにして射出装置1を解体した後、上記の手順を逆に行うことにより組み立てることができる。 In such disassembly, the axial force detector 61 can be taken out without disassembling the weighing motor 31, the driving force transmission member 51, and the portion on the injection motor 21 side. Therefore, according to this embodiment, as described above, by arranging the axial force detection unit 61 in the vicinity of the screw 13 inside the injection device 1, the detection accuracy of the axial force can be improved while the axial force can be detected. Maintenance of the portion 61 can be performed relatively quickly and easily. After dismantling the injection device 1 in this way, it can be assembled by performing the above steps in reverse.
