Abstract

An injection device is equipped with a brake mechanism provided on a rotary shaft of an injection motor extending toward a screw side along an axial direction of the screw and configured to brake rotation of the rotary shaft, an injection motor connecting portion extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction, and an injection motor supporting portion connected to the injection motor connecting portion so as to be adjustable in position relative to the injection motor connecting portion, and configured to support the injection motor and the brake mechanism.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An injection device comprising:
a screw inserted into a cylinder and configured to move in an axial direction and rotate about the axial direction;
a pusher plate configured to support the screw rotatably and immovably in the axial direction;
a rear plate configured to receive a reaction force from the pusher plate;
an injection motor configured to move the pusher plate relative to the rear plate in the axial direction; and
a conversion mechanism configured to convert a rotational force of a rotary shaft of the injection motor into a liner motion force in the axial direction and transmit the linear motion force to the pusher plate;
the injection device further comprising:
a brake mechanism provided on a side of the rotary shaft of the injection motor and configured to brake rotation of the rotary shaft;
an injection motor connecting portion extending from the pusher plate in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction; and
an injection motor supporting portion connected to the injection motor connecting portion so as to be adjustable in position relative to the injection motor connecting portion, and configured to support the injection motor and the brake mechanism.

2. The injection device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the injection motor supporting portion comprises a plurality of members.

3. The injection device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the injection motor supporting portion has a box shape configured to accommodate the rotary shaft and the brake mechanism.

4. The injection device according to claim 1 , wherein the brake mechanism comprises:
a rotor portion non-rotatably connected to the rotary shaft; and
a brake portion configured to brake rotation of the rotary shaft by sandwiching the rotor portion.
