Abstract

To provide a heated cylinder for resin melting in a molding machine which realizes high material supply/transport performance, cost reduction, and more favorable maintenance performance, while making the plan view/plan sectional view shape of a resin charging port into a circular shape. The resin charging port of the heated cylinder is formed to include: an upper charging path section formed in a circular shape in a plan sectional view; a lower charging path section which is formed in a square shape or oblong hole shape in a plan sectional view; and an intermediate charging path section which smoothly links an inner surface of the upper charging path section and an inner surface of the lower charging path section.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A heated cylinder for resin melting in a molding machine, the heated cylinder comprising:
a resin charging port which is formed to penetrate from an inner surface to an outer surface of the heated cylinder, and is a resin charging path for charging resin material to a resin flow path inside of the heated cylinder,
wherein the resin charging port is formed to include:
an upper charging path section formed in a circular shape in a plan sectional view, and in a vertical shape of constant width direction in a longitudinal sectional view orthogonal to an axis line of the heated cylinder, and provided at a portion on an outer side in a radial direction to a center in the axis line of the heated cylinder to open at an outer surface of the heated cylinder;
a lower charging path section which is formed in a square shape or oblong hole shape in a plan sectional view and in a vertical shape of constant width dimension in a longitudinal sectional view orthogonal to the axis line of the heated cylinder, and is provided at a portion on an inner side in the radial direction to the center of the axis line of the heated cylinder to open at an inner surface of the heated cylinder, and in a plan view seen from above the heated cylinder is formed to fit within a region of the upper charging path section which is a circular shape; and
an intermediate charging path section which is formed in a tapered shape in which a gradual flat area becomes smaller approaching towards the inner side from the outer side in the radial direction of the center in a longitudinal sectional view orthogonal to the axis line of the heated cylinder to smoothly link an inner surface of the upper charging path section and an inner surface of the lower charging path section.

2. The heated cylinder for resin melting in a molding machine according to claim 1 , wherein the lower charging path section is formed in the square shape in the plan sectional view.
