  • Patent number: 11660794
    Abstract: An injection molding machine that contributes to improving the quality of a workpiece is provided. An injection molding machine configured to causes torpedo pistons to be slid in one way to thereby plasticize a resin material supplied to a first space of a cylinder, and causes a molten resin to flow into a second space of the cylinder and causes the torpedo pistons to be slid in the other way to thereby inject the molten resin. The injection molding machine includes pressurizing pistons inserted into the torpedo pistons so that the pressurizing pistons can be slid in such a way that an amount of protrusion of the cylinder into the second space of the cylinder with respect to the torpedo pistons is changed, and energizing means for energizing the pressurizing pistons toward the second space of the cylinder.

  • Publication number: 20210276251
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for an induction heating coil includes repeating a sequence of bedding metal powder in a layer and forming a metal layer by applying laser beam to a predetermined region of the metal powder bedded in a layer to be fused and solidified; and building an induction heating coil by sequentially building up the metal layers one vertically above another. The induction heating coil is a cross-sectionally quadrangular pipe and surrounded by a pair of curved surfaces in a circular arc shape along a circumferential direction of an outer periphery of a circular columnar object to be heated, and a pair of flat surfaces adjacent to the curved surfaces. The induction heating coil is built such that, of the flat surfaces, a flat surface located vertically above a hollow portion of the pipe makes an angle greater than or equal to a predetermined angle with a horizontal plane.
