Abstract

Abstract In an injection molding machine, an ejection is conducted according to at least one of a speed control and a pressure control, until a load is reduced from the start of the ejection. After the load has been reduced, the ejection attended by a very small vibration is conducted. When the ejection is conducted according to the speed control, the deformation of a molded product as a result of the ejection by the ejector pin is reduced, leading to a reduced deformation restoring force. Thus, it is possible to prevent the molded product from being scattered and/or to prevent cracks from being produced in the molded product. In addition, it is possible to release the sticking of the molded product due to the biting of the ejector pin into the molded product, thereby eliminating a time loss and providing an improved efficiency of operation. Each of the speed control and the pressure control is conducted in correspondence to a load. After the ejection attended by the very small vibration has been performed, the ejector pin can be further advanced to effect the ejection. A resisting force can be generated, when the ejector pin is retreated.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 110 words
An injection molding machine, comprising a stationary die, a movable die disposed in an opposed relation for movement into and out of contact with said stationary die to define a cavity between both the dies, an ejector pin disposed with its tip end facing said cavity, a driving device for advancing said ejector pin, and a control unit for controlling said driving device, said control unit performs (i) an ejection according to at least one of a speed control and a pressure control, until a load is reduced from the start of the ejection, and (ii) an ejection attended by a very small vibration, after the load has been reduced.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 58 words
A method for controlling the ejection in an injection molding machine, comprising the steps of conducting an ejection according to at least one of a speed control and a pressure control, until a load is reduced from the start of the ejection, and conducting an ejection attended by a very small vibration, after the load has been reduced.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 27 words
A method for controlling the ejection according to claim 2, wherein each of said speed control and said pressure control is conducted in correspondence to a load.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 33 words
A method for controlling the ejection according to claim 2, wherein after the ejection attended by the very small vibration has been performed, the ejector pin is further advanced to effect the ejection.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 22 words
A method for controlling the ejection according to claim 2, wherein a resisting force is generated when the ejector pin is retreated.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 26 words
A method for controlling the ejection according to claim 2, wherein the change-over of each ejection is conducted in accordance with a change-over time previously set.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 26 words
A method for controlling the ejection according to claim 2, wherein the change-over of each ejection is conducted in accordance with a change-over position previously established.
