An electric injection molding machine capable of maintaining a quality of molded articles and capable of suppressing a variation of weight of articles molded by a mold having a plurality of cavities when transferring molding conditions in a hydraulic injection molding machine as they are to the electric injection molding machine. This electric injection molding machine has an electric injection mechanism for injecting a molding material into a mold by a drive force of an electric motor, an injection control unit and a servo driver for controlling the injection motor so as to follow the injection speed reference, and an reference compensation unit for compensating the injection speed reference based on the characteristics of the hydraulic drive system so that fluctuation characteristics of the injection speed with respect to the injection pressure when controlling the electric injection mechanism approximate the fluctuation characteristics of the injection speed with respect to the injection pressure in the hydraulic injection mechanism performing the injection of the molding material to the mold by the hydraulic drive system.

Method for controlling injection of electric injection molding machine

There is disclosed a mold protection apparatus of an injection molding machine in which a cross head position and movable mold position are read from a correspondence table, a calculator calculates a thrust force limit value set with respect to a movable mold, and a cross head position controller controls a thrust force of the cross head in the corresponding position via a servomotor, so that the thrust force of the cross head is controlled to indicate a limit value or less in accordance with position of the movable mold.

Apparatus for protecting mold in injection molding machine

A cross head position corresponding to a movable mold position set by a movable mold position setting unit is read out from a correspondence table, the position of the cross head is controlled by a cross head position controlling unit via a servo-motor, and the position of the cross head is converted into a position of the movable mold, whereby target position setting of the movable mold is achieved.

Apparatus and method for setting position of movable mold of motor-driven injection molding machine

A stationary die is held on the front surface of a stationary platen and a movable die is held on the front surface of a movable platen. A plurality of monitoring sections are set in advance within a moving range of the movable platen and an upper limit of forward thrust of the movable platen is set for each of the monitoring sections. When the forward thrust of the movable platen reaches the upper limit set in one of the monitoring sections during a die closing operation, it is determined that abnormality occurs to stop the movable platen from moving forward. If a die closing mechanism is of a toggle link type, the forward thrust of the movable platen is calculated based on the thrust of a crosshead which drives a toggle link mechanism, the moving speed of the crosshead, and the moving speed of the movable platen.

Method for protecting dies in an injection molding machine

An electric injection molding machine capable of maintaining a quality of molded articles and capable of minimizing weight variation of molded articles. An electric injection mechanism injects molding material into a mold using an electric motor. An injection control unit and a servo driver control the motor so as to follow an injection speed reference. A compensation unit compensates the injection speed reference based on characteristics of a hydraulic drive system so that fluctuation of injection speed with respect to the injection pressure approximate the fluctuation characteristics of a hydraulic injection mechanism.

Electric injection molding machine for controlling injection of electric injection molding machine

This invention provides a method which makes it possible to reliably detect malfunctions during the ejecting step without rendering the injection molding machine more complicated. An ejector pin is incorporated in the movable die. This ejector pin is connected, via an ejector plate, a connecting rod, a connecting plate and a feed screw, with a servo motor. The force for ejecting the ejector pin pushing a molded product is measured from the driving torque of a servo motor. In this invention, the relationship between driving torque and elapsed time from the initiation of ejection of the molded product is stored as a reference pattern. The tolerance limit and monitoring interval of driving torque are preset relative to the reference pattern. When the value of driving torque falls outside the tolerance limit during the ejecting step, it is judged as a malfunction, and an alarm is generated to stop the machine in a safe state.

Malfunction-detecting method in injection molding machines

A filling step control method of an injection molding machine for filling a molten resin into a die cavity is provided. The control method has the steps of: sampling in initiating the filling step for filling the molten resin into the die cavity by controlling an injection speed and, thereafter, by controlling a filling pressure while not exceeding a predetermined value; storing the injection speed over an entire filling process when a quality product can be stably obtained during the sampling step into a storage medium as a reference waveform; and after storing the reference waveform, molding for filling the molten resin into the die cavity by controlling the injection speed to follow the reference waveform over the entire filling step.

In a position control apparatus, the rate and the torque of the servomotor are monitored, wherein when it is detected that the servomotor is locked, the torque is limited, so that renewal of a command position to be supplied to the servomotor driving unit is stopped.

Position control apparatus

A buckle is formed of a base having two side walls, a cover for accommodating and supporting the base, and having a tongue insertion hole formed at one end side of the two side walls of the base, and guide portions provided on each of the two side walls to protrude inwardly therefrom for leading a tongue to be inserted through the tongue insertion hole. The guide portions lead a tip of the tongue smoothly without blocking even when the tongue is inserted from the tongue insertion hole at a maximum slant posture defined by the tongue insertion hole relative to the buckle. The tongue can be smoothly inserted into the buckle to improve the manipulation feeling in inserting the tongue.

Buckle with smooth tongue insertion mechanism

In a buckle for a seat belt, lower ends of side walls of an operational button is positioned at a level lower than lower ends of guide portions of a base, and an upper surface of a portion of a lower cover defining a tongue-insertion opening is positioned at a level higher than an upper surface of a bottom of the base. Therefore, when a tongue is engaged with the buckle, an engaging portion of the tongue touches at least one of the side walls of the operational button made of resin, and the portion of the lower cover made of resin. Thus, the tongue is prevented from touching the guide portions and the bottom of the base made of metal, thereby preventing a noise due to the metal-to-metal contact when the tongue is inserted into the buckle and engaged with the buckle. Therefore, a jar on an occupant's nerve when wearing the seat belt can be avoided.

Buckle with noise prevention mechanism

A buckle is provided with a non-contact buckle switch improved in durability to be securely operated. The non-contact buckle switch is switched by detecting a movement of one of an ejector, latch member and lock member of the buckle. The buckle switch includes a magnet and a Hall element for generating an electromotive force by a magnetic field of the magnet. One of the magnet and the Hall element is attached to a fixed member, and the other of the magnet and the Hall element is attached to one of the ejector, latch member and lock member.
