  • Patent number: 7128563
    Abstract: A clamping device for injection molding machine is proposed. The clamping device has a movable mold holder, a guiding unit, a screw rod unit, a transmission unit, a first clamping unit, and a second clamping unit. Power from the driving source is transmitted via the transmission unit to the screw rod unit, so as to drive the movable mold holder to move in reciprocating motion. When the mold is actuated to close, the first clamping unit engages to a gear wheel member of the screw rod unit. The gear wheel member and the first clamping unit are driven by the second clamping unit to move for generating a rotational torque, and to drive the screw rod unit for generating a clamping thrust.

  • Patent number: 6893246
    Abstract: A clamping device for injection-molding machine includes a high-speed screw rod unit having a nut element screwed thereto and a movable mold holder connected to a front end thereof, a clamping screw rod unit screwed to a rear end of the nut element and connected to a transmission assembly, a pre-pressing unit adjustably tightened to the clamping screw rod unit for the latter to generate a pre-pressure against the nut element, and a braking unit adapted to brake the nut element. When the nut element is not braked, the high-speed screw rod unit is driven by the transmission assembly to move forward at high speed for closing mold. And, when the nut element is braked and the clamping screw rod unit is driven by the transmission assembly to rotate relative to the nut element, the nut element is linearly pushed forward to generate a high-pressure clamping force during closing mold.

  • Patent number: 6416607
    Abstract: An automatic embossing device for plastic floor tile comprises a main frame, a pressing wheel module, a tape supply control wheel module, a position mark sensing module, a tape tension-balancing module, and a tape supply module. When the pressing process for plastic floor tile is performed, the rotation speed of the pressing wheel is first set. The rotation speed of the tape supply control wheel is then set. A zero-point position of rotation angle on the pressing wheel is randomly set. A computer is used to partition and determine a plurality of angle positions; The computer is used to compare the signal of the angle position to that of the position mark on the printed tape to obtain a time difference when the pressing process starts. A distance difference is obtained from the time difference. The computer is used to calculate out the speed compensation according to the rotation speed of the tape supply, control wheel and to adjust immediately the rotation speed of the tape supply control wheel.
