Abstract A locally pressing type injection molding machine which performs various working operations on a molded product during an injection molding cycle is designed so that it can perform various working operation on a molded product after the injection step. To achieve this, a pressing pin is provided to extend in such a manner that it passes through at least part of either the fixed mold or the movable mold. A distal end of the pressing pin is provided in such a manner that it can advance into or retract from a cavity. A pressing cylinder is disposed behind the pressing pin to vibrate the pressing pin when a hydraulic pressure supply means supplies a pulsating hydraulic pressure to the pressing cylinder. A pulsating pressing force is applied to a resin which fills the cavity to work the molded product in a desired form. Therefore, a highly accurate worked surface can be obtained.
An injection molding machine, comprising: a fixed mold; a movable mold disposed in such a manner that said movable mold can make contact with or be separated from said fixed mold, said movable mold and said fixed mold forming at least one cavity therebetween; at least one pressing pin extending in such a manner that said pressing pin passes through said movable mold, a distal end of said pressing pin being disposed in such a manner that said distal end can advance into or retract from one of said cavity and a gate portion corresponsive to a portion of a molded product to be worked; a pressing plate fixed to a rear end of said pressing pin; a pressing cylinder disposed behind said pressing plate for advancing said pressing pin when a hydraulic pressure is supplied; a hydraulic pressure supply means for supplying a pulsating hydraulic pressure to said pressing cylinder; and a return spring disposed between said pressing plate and said movable mold for urging said pressing pin in a direction in which said pressing pin retracts, to thereby ensure smooth movement of the pressing pin.
