Patent number: 8123998Abstract: An injection molding method for a plate-shaped resin substrate, wherein a through-hole whose diameter gradually becomes smaller from one surface to the other surface is provided thereon and fine flow path that connects to the through-hole is provided on the other surface. A cavity is formed by joining one molding die forming one surface with the other molding die forming the other surface. A part of the one molding die that forms the through-hole includes a taper pin that protrudes from the one molding die toward the other molding die. The substrate is formed by filling the cavity with resin material, and the substrate is released from the other molding die by separating the one molding die from the other molding die. By pushing the inner wall of the through-hole with the taper pin projected further toward the other molding die, the substrate is released from the one molding die.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2009Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Konica Minolta Opto, Inc.Inventor: Kanji Sekihara

Publication number: 20120009297Abstract: To provide a power supplying method that can reduce the maximum power of an electromotive injection molding machine including a power supplying apparatus having a predetermined power storage circuit. A power supplying apparatus for supplying power to servo amplifiers is configured by an AC/DC converter and a predetermined power storage circuit. In a process of a molding cycle except for an injection process, power is supplied from the AC/DC converter, and the power is stored in the power storage circuit. In the injection process, the AC/DC converter and the power storage circuit are controlled in conjunction with each other to supply the stored power, which is required when performing the injection process, from the power storage circuit, so as to prevent the AC/DC converter from supplying an excessive amount of power.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2011Publication date: January 12, 2012Applicant: THE JAPAN STEEL WORKS, LTD.Inventor: Kiyoshi OCHI

Patent number: 8083978Abstract: Injection molded parts having bodies and lids connected by living hinges have the lids closed against the bodies during an opening sequence of mold plates. The lid closing mechanism is arranged in an intermediate plate disposed between a movable B plate and a fixed A plate. Movable and fixed cavities can meet within the intervening plate where a lid closer accomplishes lid closing as mold plates separate during mold opening. Accomplishing the lid closure during a mold opening sequence avoids any increase in the mold cycle time.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2010Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Accede Mold & Tool, Inc.Inventors: Roger L Fox, Terrance A Fox, Donald H Hickel, Jr.
