Abstract: An opening-closing body control device for a vehicle includes: an opening-closing control unit configured to control an operation of an opening-closing body provided in an opening portion of a vehicle by controlling energization of a motor serving as a drive source. When the opening-closing body being moved based on a driving force of the motor is to be stopped, the opening-closing control unit sets a free running period during which free rotation of the motor is allowed, and executes brake control for generating a braking force in the motor after the free running period elapses.

Abstract: A lightweight metal mold having a necessary rigidity is realized. Firstly, an original pattern of an evaporative pattern is formed by machining an evaporative material block. The original pattern includes a three-dimensional mesh structure including a plurality of bar-shaped parts and connecting points that connect ends of the bar-shaped parts and are distributed in a three-dimensional space, and a plurality of block parts having fixed relative positional relationship by being fixed to the three-dimensional mesh structure. Then, at least a portion of at least one or more of the bar-shaped parts composing the original pattern is removed, and replaced with a tube member. Then, a full-mold casting is performed by using the evaporative pattern having the replaced tube member. Positional relationship of the block parts in which surfaces, etc. necessary for the metal mold are formed is fixed by the three-dimensional mesh structure, and the necessary rigidity is secured.

Abstract: An injection molding machine that can prevent a stationary platen and a mold attached thereto from being tilted by applying a nozzle touch force. A connection part is mounted on a stationary platen via a connection pipe. The connection part is mounted on a connection mechanism via a block. A ball screw shaft as a nozzle touch drive mechanism is rotatably mounted on the connection mechanism. The block is adjusted for a mounting position thereof such that tilt in the stationary platen and a mold attached thereto is eliminated when the mold is attached to the stationary platen and a nozzle touch force is applied to the mold. The nozzle touch force prevents the stationary platen and the mold from being tilted.

Abstract: A screw is moved along an axis by a screw advancement-retraction mechanism. A screw rotation mechanism is supported for movement along the axis by a pair of supporting members, each includes a rail for use as a guide member. The supporting members are arranged individually along tie-bars for use as lateral members and extend parallel to the tie-bars. One longitudinal end portion of each supporting member is secured to a frame of an injection unit by a fixing portion including a fixing member. The other end portion of the supporting member is supported on each tie-bar by a movable portion including a sliding member. The sliding member is movable along an axis of the tie-bar. With this arrangement, deformation, if any, of the tie-bar is prevented from affecting the rail, so that the screw rotation mechanism and the screw can move steadily.

Abstract: An injection apparatus includes a guide member on a frame via a guide member support mechanism. A screw rotation mechanism is assembled on the guide member. This prevents the guide member from being affected by deformation of the frame and allows the screw rotation mechanism to be smoothly moved. Thus, a screw rotatably coupled to the screw rotation mechanism can be smoothly moved.
