Publication number: 20200039132Abstract: An injection molding die is an injection molding die for molding a resin hollow body including a straight tubular portion having an inner peripheral surface that does not have a tapered portion for die removal. The injection molding die includes a core having a cylindrical portion configured to form the inner peripheral surface of the straight tubular portion. The core has a groove recessed inwardly in the radial direction and formed over a whole circumference of the cylindrical portion in an end portion of the core on a first side in the axial direction, the end portion corresponding to a rear end portion of the resin hollow body in the die-removal direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2019Publication date: February 6, 2020Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Yoichiro Baba

Publication number: 20200039134Abstract: A mould closing unit (100) for an injection-moulding machine has an electromechanical closing mechanism (M) for opening and closing an injection mould, said electromechanical closing mechanism (M) being actuated by means of at least one spindle unit (10) having at least one spindle (12) and at least one spindle nut (14). Cooling by way of cooling ducts (32) for heat dissipation from the spindle unit (10) is provided. Since the spindle (12) has, in the core, at least one bore (24) in which a cooling and/or lubricating medium is passed into the region of the contact points between the spindle nut (14) and the spindle (12) via at least one lance (20), efficient cooling of the spindle unit is achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2017Publication date: February 6, 2020Inventors: Rainer BLETSCHER, Martin KRÖTZ
