Publication number: 20080233227Abstract: An injection molding machine has a motor (31) provided with a brake unit (34). The brake unit (34) generates a braking torque greater than or equal to a maximum torque that the motor (31) is capable of generating. Thereby, the rotation of an output shaft (32) of the motor (31) is stopped. Therefore, at the time of stopping driving of a drive part and performing a predetermined operation, it is possible to stop a driven part from moving suddenly.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2004Publication date: September 25, 2008Inventors: Masashi Onishi, Norihito Okada

Publication number: 20080203596Abstract: An injection apparatus has a cylinder member having a feed opening (215) formed at a predetermined position; an injection member disposed within the cylinder member in a manner capable of advancing and retreating; a molding-material feed apparatus which attached to the feed opening (215) and feeds a molding material into the cylinder member through the feed opening (215); and thermoelectric cooling elements (261) to (264) disposed at predetermined positions around the feed opening (215). Since the thermoelectric cooling elements (261) to (264) are disposed at the predetermined positions around the feed opening (215), temperature around the feed opening (215) can be brought to an appropriate value, and the response of temperature control can be enhanced.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2005Publication date: August 28, 2008Applicant: Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Norihito Okada

Publication number: 20080166446Abstract: An object is to provide a motor-driven injection molding machine in which responsibility of a member-to-be-driven can be enhanced, as well as a molding method using the same. The motor-driven injection molding machine includes a member-to-be-driven; a motor for operating the member-to-be-driven; and a motion direction conversion portion disposed between the motor and the member-to-be-driven and adapted to convert to a linear motion a rotational motion of rotation generated by driving the motor. In the motor, the ratio of the stacking length of a magnet of a rotor (56) to the inside diameter of a stator (57) is 3 or more. In this case, since, in the motor, the ratio of the stacking length of the magnet of the rotor (56) to the inside diameter of the stator (57) is 3 or more, responsibility of the member-to-be-driven can be sufficiently enhanced.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2008Publication date: July 10, 2008Inventor: Norihito Okada

Publication number: 20060145396Abstract: The object is to provide a drive apparatus for an injection molding machine which can increase the responsiveness of acceleration at the time of start-up of a driven portion. It has a driven portion, a transmission shaft which has a screw shaft portion and an output shaft portion and which is connected to the driven portion so as to be able to rotate with respect thereto and which can advance and retract, a nut which threadingly engages the screw shaft portion, a motor frame which is mounted on a motor mounting frame, a rotor which is mounted on the output shaft portion, and a stator which is mounted on the motor frame. A rotor is mounted on the output shaft portion of the transmission shaft, so the inner diameter of the stator can be reduced by that amount, and the outer diameter of the rotor can be decreased.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2004Publication date: July 6, 2006Inventors: Norihito Okada, Yosuke Tokui

Patent number: 6916169Abstract: A drive apparatus for an injection molding machine comprises a drive means, a rotation transmission shaft, a screw shaft, a nut and a driven member. The rotation transmission shaft is connected to the drive means and rotated by the drive means. The screw shaft is rectilinearly movably disposed, surrounds the rotation transmission shaft, and engages with an outer cylindrical surface of the rotation transmission shaft on an inner cylindrical surface of the screw shaft. The nut is threadably engaged with the screw shaft. The driven member is disposed on the screw shaft. In this apparatus, the rotation generated by the drive means is transmitted to the screw shaft and the screw shaft is advanced and retracted not to rotate the nut. Therefore, the inertia of the drive apparatus becomes small and the response of mold opening/closing becomes rapid when the drive mean is driven.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2001Date of Patent: July 12, 2005Assignee: Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Norihito Okada

Publication number: 20040037057Abstract: A radiating structure of an electronic circuit unit comprising a circuit board, on which a plurality of circuit parts including a heater element are mounted, and a radiating plate of an aluminum material supporting the circuit board, the circuit board and the radiating plate being beforehand fixed together by the eyelets or the like, in which state cream solder is applied on predetermined portions of the circuit board to make reflow solder, thereby filling solder into through-holes provided in the circuit board to bring the circuit board into contact with the radiating plate. When the radiating structure thus constructed is adopted, the solder filled into the through-holes heightens degree of adhesion between the circuit board and the radiating plate, so that heat of the heater element can be efficiently radiated outside through the radiating plate from the circuit board.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2003Publication date: February 26, 2004Applicant: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Norihito Okada
