Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In an injection apparatus, a first cylinder and second cylinder for driving an injection cylinder connected to an injection plunger are connected in parallel with each other with respect to the injection cylinder. A piston of the first cylinder and a piston of the second cylinder are synchronously driven by driving means. A directional control valve and first flow rate adjustment circuit are provided between one end of the injection cylinder and one end of the first cylinder. Moreover, second flow rate adjustment circuit is provided between the other end of the injection cylinder and the other ends of the first and second cylinders.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An injection apparatus, comprising: an injection cylinder driving an injection plunger to inject a molding material; a first cylinder connected to the injection cylinder, the first cylinder feeding hydraulic oil to the injection cylinder and draining hydraulic oil therefrom; a second cylinder connected to the injection cylinder in parallel with the first cylinder, the second cylinder feeding hydraulic oil to the injection cylinder and draining hydraulic oil therefrom; driving means for reciprocatingly driving a piston of the first cylinder and a piston of the second cylinder; a directional control valve provided between one end of the injection cylinder and one end of the first cylinder, the directional control valve allowing a flow of hydraulic oil from the first cylinder toward the injection cylinder but cutting off the flow of hydraulic oil from the injection cylinder toward the first cylinder; first flow rate adjustment means provided between the directional control valve and the first cylinder, the first flow rate adjustment means being for adjusting a flow rate of hydraulic oil between the one end of the first cylinder and the one end of the injection cylinder; and second flow rate adjustment means provided between the other end of the injection cylinder and the other end of the first cylinder and between the other end of the injection cylinder and an other end of the second cylinder, the second flow rate adjustment means being for adjusting a flow rate of hydraulic oil between the other ends of the first and second cylinders and the other end of the injection cylinder. 2. The injection apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first flow rate adjustment means includes: a buffer tank capable of temporarily storing hydraulic oil; a pilot switching valve capable of discharging to the buffer tank the hydraulic oil present between the directional control valve and the one end of the first cylinder; and a replenishment control valve capable of supplying the hydraulic oil in the buffer tank between the directional control valve and the one end of the first cylinder. 3. The injection apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second flow rate adjustment means includes: a buffer tank capable of temporarily storing hydraulic oil; a pilot switching valve capable of discharging to the buffer tank the hydraulic oil present between the other end of the injection cylinder and the other end of the first cylinder and between the other end of the injection cylinder and the other end of the second cylinder; and a replenishment control valve capable of supplying hydraulic oil between the other end of the injection cylinder and the other end of the first cylinder and between the other end of the injection cylinder and the other end of the second cylinder.
