Publication number: 20240066763Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for taking out a molded product that facilitates setting of a user-set lower limit value while maintaining on-off control. A negative pressure control portion includes a determining portion for determining a pressure valve resumption time period that is used to resume a suctioning operation such that an inflection point does not become lower than a user-set lower limit value. The negative pressure control portion continuously performs an off operation, which is performed to keep a pressure valve closed until the pressure valve resumption time period elapses after the suctioning operation is stopped, and an on operation, which is performed to open the pressure valve and keep the pressure valve open until a negative pressure reaches a stable value or an upper limit set value, until suctioning of a molded product is canceled.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Hiroki Kida, Atsushi Shirasaki, Kazutaka Ando

Publication number: 20240066773Abstract: An injection molding machine according to an embodiment includes an injection mechanism and an injection mold. The injection mechanism injects resin. The injection mold includes a fixed part and a movable part. The fixed part includes a resin injection port through which resin injected by the injection mechanism enters. The movable part serves to mold the entered resin. The resin fills a cavity between the fixed part and the movable part. The injection mold includes a sprue, a back-flow prevention mechanism, and a heater. The sprue is provided in the fixed part. The sprue allows resin to enter the cavity through the sprue. The sprue has a taper shape tapered off toward the resin injection port. The back-flow prevention mechanism serves to block resin flowing back through the sprue from the cavity toward the resin injection port. The heater serves to keep resin in a molten state.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventors: Yuko IIZUKA, Satoshi SAYAMA
