[0001] The invention relates to the field of injection molding, and in particular to a reverse injection molding machine and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Injection molding machine is also called injection molding machine or injection unit. It is the main molding equipment that uses plastic molding molds to make plastic products of various shapes from thermoplastics or thermosetting plastics. It is divided into vertical, horizontal and all-electric types. The injection molding machine can heat the plastic and apply high pressure to the molten plastic to make it eject and fill the mold cavity. Most of the injection molding machines on the market are single-color injection molding machines and two-color opposite-shot injection molding machines.

[0003] As we all know, the existing single-color injection molding technology uses a production method in which one injection molding machine is equipped with a set of molds. This one-out-of-one production method is not only inefficient, but also requires multiple injection molding machines for mass production. The injection molding machine occupies a large amount of site space, and the site space for placing the injection molding machine is limited. When producing large quantities of plastic products, multiple injection molding machines are required to work at the same time, which greatly increases the demand for site size and energy consumption costs. Summary of the invention

[0011] Preferably, a position signal generator is fixedly installed at the center position of the side of the second template and the first template, and two position signal receivers are fixedly installed at the center position of the side of the third template. The position signal receivers receive the signals sent by the position signal generators and determine whether the first template and the second template are at the same height as the center position of the third template.

[0012] Alternatively, the locking device includes a booster cylinder, a pull rod and a brake mechanism, wherein the booster cylinder and the brake mechanism are arranged on the same side of the second template, one end of the pull rod is fixedly connected to the first template, and the other end passes through the third template, the second template and the brake mechanism in sequence and is connected to the booster cylinder.

[0013] At the same time, the present invention also proposes a control method for a double-shot injection molding machine, comprising the steps of:

[0014] S1. A first template, a third template, and a second template are arranged on a frame. If the first template is fixedly mounted on the frame, the third template and the second template are slidably connected to the frame, a first injection unit is arranged near the first template, and a second injection unit is arranged near the second template. A first mold and a second mold of an external device are respectively installed on both sides of the third template;

[0015] S2. The position signal receiver on the third template receives the signal sent by the signal generator on the first template, and determines whether the center positions of the third template and the first template are at the same horizontal height, and drives the sliding foot mechanism to adjust the height of the center position of the third template to be the same as the height of the center position of the first template; The position signal receiver on the third template receives the signal sent by the signal generator on the second template, and determines whether the center positions of the second template and the third template are at the same horizontal height, and adjusts the height of the center position of the second template to be the same as the height of the center position of the third template;

[0016] S3. After the injection device completes plasticization, the third template is translated toward the first template, and the second template is translated toward the third template. At the same time, the second injection unit on the second template side moves synchronously with the second template and the relative position remains stationary until the first mold and the second mold on both sides of the third template are closed, the first mold and the second mold are closed synchronously, and the brake mechanism locks the pull rod and fixes the position of the second template and the third template;

[0017] S4. After the first mold and the second mold are closed, the first injection unit and the second injection unit simultaneously inject the molten material into the first mold and the second mold at a certain speed and pressure, and cool the inside of the mold cavity of the first mold and the second mold at a preset value;

[0018] S5. After the pressure holding and cooling are completed, the position of the second template is unlocked and the mold is opened. The second injection unit on the second template side and the second template and the third template move in the opposite direction of the first template, and keep synchronization during the movement. When the third template and the second template reach the preset position, the product is ejected, and the injection device starts pre-plasticization at the same time to complete one cycle of injection molding.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present application adopts a method in which two injection units share one frame, a set of molds is installed between every two templates, and two injection units inject two sets of molds at the same time. Two sets of molds are injected on the same frame, breaking through the traditional injection molding method of producing a set of mold products in one injection. Because they share one frame and one set of clamping devices, the space utilization rate and economic cost are far lower than the consumption of two injection molding machines.

[0020] Compared with the existing two-color opposite-shot injection molding machine, no turntable is arranged at the bottom of the third template, and a height-adjustable sliding foot mechanism is adopted, which not only reduces the complexity of the machine, but also saves the turntable rotation time and manufacturing cost.

[0021] Arranging a position signal generator on the first template and the second template and a position signal receiver on the third template can determine whether the centers of the three templates are at the same horizontal height before injection molding, which can improve the mold closing accuracy during injection molding; using a motor to adjust the sliding foot mechanism and adopting a gear rack transmission method can improve the accuracy of fine-tuning the sliding foot and reduce the complexity of workers' operations. When one motor adjusts one sliding foot mechanism, the inclined irons on both sides of the sliding foot can maintain synchronization and the same precision of displacement, avoiding the problem of template tilting due to inconsistent movement of the left and right inclined irons.

[0022] The mold shifting cylinder does not provide clamping force, so the diameter of the mold shifting cylinder is much smaller than that of the booster cylinder, which is beneficial to increasing the movement speed of the third template and the second template; by adjusting the oil inlet speed of the mold shifting cylinder, the movement speed of the first template relative to the second template and the movement speed of the third template relative to the second template make the closing and opening of the two clamped molds synchronized, and during the mold opening process, the mold opening can be stopped only when it reaches the preset position, which is beneficial to accurately control the injection cycle and improve the injection efficiency.

[0035] There is a preferred solution, such as Figure 3 As shown, the sliding foot mechanism 7 includes a sliding foot 71, an inclined iron 72, a pad 73, a baffle 75 and an adjusting screw 74. The bottom of the sliding foot 71 is set with a certain slope, and the inclined iron 72 also has a certain slope and is adapted to the sliding foot 71. The pad 73 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inclined iron 72, the baffle 75 is installed on the front side of the sliding foot 71, and the adjusting screw 74 is installed to connect the baffle 75 and the inclined iron 72.

[0036] The sliding foot mechanism 7 also includes a transmission gear 77, a gear shaft 78, a driving motor and a rack 76. The driving motor is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the sliding foot 71. The gear shaft 78 is fixedly connected to the driving motor. The gear shaft 78 is meshedly connected with the transmission gear 77. The rack 76 is meshedly connected with the transmission gear 77 and the gear shaft 78.

[0037] There is a preferred solution, such as Figure 1 As shown, a position signal generator 10 is fixedly installed at the center position of the side of the second template 3 and the first template 5, and two position signal receivers 11 are fixedly installed at the center position of the side of the third template 4. The position signal receiver 11 receives the signal sent by the position signal generator 10 and determines whether the first template 5 and the second template 3 are at the same height as the center position of the third template 4.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, before injection molding, the height position of the third template 4 and the second template 3 is adjusted, such as Figure 1As shown, when the mold is installed to the left and right sides of the third template 4, the position signal generator 10 on the first template 5 sends a signal, which is received by the position signal receiver 11 on the third template 4 and determines whether the center positions of the third template 4 and the first template 5 are at the same height. At this time, they are not at the same height, and the driving motor drives the gear shaft 78 to rotate, and the gear shaft 78 drives the transmission gear 77 to rotate. The left and right racks 76 move to the left and right respectively under the engagement of the gear shaft 78 and the transmission gear 77, and the rack 76 drives the bevel iron 72 to move. When the center positions of the third template 4 and the first template 5 are adjusted to the same height, tighten the adjusting screw 74 to fix the position of the bevel iron 72 and the sliding foot 71, and the third mold is completed. The position height of the plate 4 is adjusted; then the position signal generator 10 on the second template 3 sends a signal, which is received by the position signal receiver 11 on the third template 4 and determines whether the center positions of the third template 4 and the second template 3 are at the same height. If they are not at the same height at this time, the driving motor starts to drive the gear shaft 78 to rotate, and the gear shaft 78 drives the transmission gear 77 to rotate. The left and right racks 76 move to the left and right respectively under the meshing of the gear shaft 78 and the transmission gear 77, and the rack 76 drives the inclined iron 72 to move. When the center positions of the third template 4 and the first template 5 are adjusted to the same height, tighten the adjusting screw 74 to fix the positions of the inclined iron 72 and the sliding foot 71, and complete the position height adjustment of the second template 3;

[0039] Start mold closing, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first mold-shifting oil cylinder 131 is driven to drive the first mold-shifting piston rod 141 to move. Since the first mold-shifting piston rod 141 and the third mold plate 4 are fixed, the third mold plate 4 also moves with the first mold-shifting piston rod 141. At the same time, the second mold-shifting oil cylinder 132 is driven. Since the second mold-shifting oil cylinder 132 is fixed on the second mold plate 3 and the second mold plate 3 is slidable on the frame 1, the second mold plate 3 moves toward the third mold plate 4 under the pull of the second mold-shifting piston rod 142. At this time, the moving speeds of the third mold plate 4 and the second mold plate 3 are adjusted so that the mold closing of the two clamped molds is synchronized, that is, the mold closing actions of the third mold plate 4 and the first mold plate 5 and the third mold plate 4 and the second mold plate 3 are completed simultaneously;

[0040] After the mold is completed, Figure 1 As shown, the brake mechanism 6 fixes the positions of the second template 3 and the third template 4; thereafter, the first injection unit 2 and the second injection unit 2' inject into the two molds respectively, and the molds are opened after pressure holding and cooling. The mold opening action and the unlocking action of the brake mechanism 6 are exactly opposite to the previous ones, and the moving speed of the third template 3 and the second template 3 are adjusted so that the closing of the two clamped molds is synchronized, until the third template 4 and the second template 3 reach the preset position and the product is ejected, completing a cycle of injection molding.

[0041] There is a supplementary solution, the locking device includes a booster cylinder 9, a pull rod 8 and a brake mechanism 6, the booster cylinder 9 and the brake mechanism 6 are arranged on the same side of the second template 4, one end of the pull rod 8 is fixedly connected to the first template 5, and the other end passes through the third template 4, the second template 3 and the brake mechanism 6 in sequence and is connected to the booster cylinder 9.

[0042] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 The present invention is a flow chart of a control method for a three-plate injection molding machine. As shown in the figure, the method includes the following steps:

[0043] S1. A first template 5, a third template 4, and a second template 3 are arranged on the frame 1. If the first template 5 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, the third template 4 and the second template 3 are slidably connected to the frame 1, a first injection unit 2 is arranged near the first template 5, a second injection unit 2' is arranged near the second template 3, and a first mold and a second mold of an external device are respectively installed on both sides of the third template 4;

[0044] S2. The position signal receiver 11 on the third template 4 receives the signal from the signal generator on the first template 5, and determines whether the center positions of the third template 4 and the first template 5 are at the same horizontal height, and drives the sliding foot mechanism 7 to adjust the height of the center position of the third template 4 to be the same as the center position height of the first template 5; The position signal receiver 11 on the third template 4 receives the signal from the signal generator on the second template 3, and determines whether the center positions of the second template 3 and the third template 4 are at the same horizontal height, and adjusts the height of the center position of the second template 3 to be the same as the center position height of the third template 4;

[0045] S3. After the injection device completes plasticization, the third template 4 is translated toward the first template 5, and the second template 3 is translated toward the third template 4. At the same time, the second injection unit 2' on the second template 3 side moves synchronously with the second template 3 and the relative position remains stationary until the first mold and the second mold on both sides of the third template 4 are closed, the first mold and the second mold are closed synchronously, and the brake mechanism 6 locks the pull rod 8 and fixes the position of the second template 3 and the third template 4;

[0046] S4. After the first mold and the second mold are closed, the first injection unit 2 and the second injection unit 2' simultaneously inject the molten material into the first mold and the second mold at a certain speed and pressure, and the first mold and the second mold are pressure-cooled inside the mold cavity according to a preset value;

[0047] S5. After the pressure-holding cooling is completed, the position of the second template 3 is unlocked, and the mold is opened. The second injection unit 2' and the second template 3 and the third template 4 on the side of the second template 3 move in the opposite direction of the first template 5, and keep synchronization during the movement. When the third template 4 and the second template 3 reach the preset position, the product is ejected, and the injection device starts pre-plasticization at the same time, completing a cycle of injection molding.

[0048] To sum up, the present application is different from the existing single-color injection molding machines and two-color shot machines. Two injection units are installed on the same frame, and a movable third template and a second template are installed at the same time. Not only is the space cost far lower than two injection molding machines with the same productivity, but the injection efficiency is also significantly improved. The use of motors and gears to drive the inclined irons on both sides of the sliding foot mechanism avoids the problem of insufficient manual operation precision, while also reducing the difficulty of adjusting the sliding foot height and increasing the precision when closing the mold. By controlling the speed of the mold moving cylinder, during the closing and opening process of the mold, the moving speed of the third template relative to the first template is equal to the moving speed of the second template relative to the third template, so that the closing and opening of the first mold and the second mold are synchronized, which is conducive to precise control of the injection molding cycle and improved injection molding efficiency.

[0049] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
