Patent number: 11890796Abstract: In a mold clamping apparatus, a mold clamping mechanism is provided with a half nut, and a tie bar is provided with circumferential groove configured to meshed with the teeth of the half nut. A strong-force mold opening mechanism that opens molds at an initial stage of mold opening extends across a space separating a movable platen and the mold clamping mechanism and is connected to the movable platen and the mold clamping mechanism. The strong-force mold opening mechanism is set so as to have greater axial force and shorter stroke than those of a mold opening and closing mechanism.

Patent number: 11338488Abstract: A mold clamping device includes a base, a stationary platen fixed to the base and supporting a stationary mold, a movable platen movable on the base and supporting a movable mold, and a mold clamping mechanism for clamping the movable mold against the stationary mold. Tie bars extend from the stationary platen completely through both the movable platen and the mold clamping mechanism. A shaft supporting plate is fixed to the base and has openings through which the tie bars slidably extend for supporting the tie bars. The shaft supporting plate terminates at its lower end portion in two spaced-apart shoes that are fixed to the base.

Publication number: 20220063164Abstract: A mold-clamping machine 10 includes a stationary mount 13, a movable mount 18, a mold-clamping mechanism 15 and a mold opening-and-closing mechanism 16. The mold-clamping mechanism 15 includes a cylindrical constraining mechanism 30. The constraining mechanism 30 has a magnet mechanism built therein. By causing a current to flow or not flow, the constraining mechanism 30 changes to an unconstrained state or to a constraining state. In the unconstrained state, the mold-clamping mechanism 15 is movable relative to a tie bar 19 and along the tie bar 19. In the constrained state, the mold-clamping mechanism 15 becomes unmovable relative to the tie bar 19. The magnet mechanism positions the mold-clamping mechanism at an arbitrary position over the tie bar.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2020Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Hozumi YODA, Satoshi HOSHINO, Atsushi MURATA
