Abstract

In performing molding by injecting and filling a resin by an injecting device with a predetermined injection pressure into a mold formed of a fixed mold and a movable mold clamped by a clamping device with a predetermined clamping force, at least a clamping device which enables natural compression of the resin with solidification of the resin in the mold is used as the clamping device, a molding injection pressure and a molding clamping force with which a predetermined mold gap is generated between the movable mold and the fixed mold in injection and filling and a non-defective product can be molded are acquired and set in advance, the clamping device is clamped with the molding clamping force during production, the molding injection pressure is set as a limit pressure, and after the resin is injected and filled in the mold by driving the injecting device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A molding method of an injection molding machine in which molding is performed by injecting and filling a resin by an injecting device with a predetermined injection pressure into a mold formed of a fixed mold and a movable mold clamped by a clamping device with a predetermined clamping force, wherein:
the clamping device, which enables natural compression of the resin with solidification of the resin in the mold is used, the clamping device is a direct-pressure type hydraulic clamping device which displaces the movable mold by a driving ram of a clamping cylinder, wherein the natural compression results from the following: a molding injection pressure and a molding clamping force are acquired and set in advance, with the molding injection pressure and the molding clamping force a predetermined molding gap is generated between the movable mold and the fixed mold in injection and filling, the clamping device is clamped with the molding clamping force from mold closing to mold opening so that the molding clamping force is maintained constant, the molding injection pressure is set as a limit pressure, and after the resin is injected and filled in the mold by driving the injecting device, the molding product is taken out after predetermined cooling time has elapsed, and
in injection and filling of the resin in the mold, after the injection pressure reaches the limit pressure, the injection pressure is controlled to be maintained at the limit pressure.

2. The molding method of an injection molding machine according to claim 1 , wherein the molding clamping force is determined by the use of a hydraulic pressure sensor connected to the clamping cylinder.

3. The molding method of an injection molding machine according to claim 2 , wherein the molding clamping force is corrected by the magnitude of an oil temperature detected by a temperature sensor in the hydraulic circuit.

4. A molding method of an injection molding machine in which molding is performed by injecting and filling a resin by an injecting device with a predetermined injection pressure into a mold formed of a fixed mold and a movable mold clamped by a clamping device with a predetermined clamping force, wherein:, wherein
the clamping device, which enables natural compression of the resin with solidification of the resin in the mold, is used, the clamping device comprises a toggle-type clamping device, the toggle-type clamping device comprises a movable platen that supports the movable mold and is slidably loaded on tie bars extended between a fixed platen that supports the fixed mold and a bearing platen, a toggle-link mechanism disposed between the bearing platen and the movable platen, and the toggle-link mechanism is driven by a driving mechanism portion so as to open/close the movable mold, wherein the natural compression results from the following: a molding injection pressure and a molding clamping force are acquired and set in advance for performing clamping in a non-lock-up state, with the molding injection pressure and the molding clamping force a predetermined molding gap is generated between the movable mold and the fixed mold in injection and filling, the clamping device is clamped with the molding clamping force in the non-lock-up state with the molding clamping force during production, the molding injection pressure is set as a limit pressure, and after the resin is injected and filled in the mold by driving the injecting device, the molding product is taken out after predetermined cooling time has elapsed,
wherein the molding clamping force from mold closing to mold opening is maintained constant.

5. The molding method of an injection molding machine according to claim 4 , wherein the driving mechanism portion is provided with a ball screw mechanism that advances/retreats a cross head of the toggle-link mechanism and a driving motor inputs rotation into this ball screw mechanism.

6. The molding method of an injection molding machine according to claim 1 , wherein the molding injection pressure and the molding clamping force are set so that the predetermined molding gap at the maximum between the movable mold and the fixed mold becomes 0.03 to 0.30 mm.

7. The molding method of an injection molding machine according to claim 1 , wherein the molding injection pressure and the molding clamping force are set so that a predetermined remaining gap is generated between the movable mold and the fixed mold after the cooling time has elapsed.

8. The molding method of an injection molding machine according to claim 7 , wherein
the remaining gap is smaller than the predetermined mold gap as a condition and is selected from 0.01 to 0.10 mm.

9. The molding method of an injection molding machine according to claim 1 , wherein a speed limit value is set for an injection speed in the injecting device.

10. The molding method of an injection molding machine according to claim 4 , wherein the molding injection pressure and the molding clamping force are set so that the predetermined molding gap at the maximum between the movable mold and the fixed mold becomes 0.03 to 0.30 mm.

11. The molding method of an injection molding machine according to claim 4 , wherein the molding injection pressure and the molding clamping force are set so that a predetermined remaining gap is generated between the movable mold and the fixed mold after the cooling time has elapsed.

12. The molding method of an injection molding machine according to claim 11 , wherein
the remaining gap is smaller than the predetermined mold gap as a condition and is selected from 0.01 to 0.10 mm.

13. The molding method of an injection molding machine according to claim 4 , wherein a speed limit value is set for an injection speed in the injecting device.
