Injection molding machine

An injection molding machine comprising, on a machine base:

• a mold having a stationary platen;
• an injection unit disposed to be capable of approaching or separating from the mold, the injection unit having a nozzle for injecting a molten material into the mold in a state of the nozzle being pressed against the mold;
• a nozzle touch mechanism for pressing the nozzle against the mold by applying a driving force to the injection unit to move the injection unit in a direction of approaching the mold;
• and
• a connecting member for connecting the nozzle touch mechanism and the stationary platen, wherein
• the connecting member has a support base to be attached to the machine base and an arm part rising upward from the support base in a side of the stationary platen, and also has a first connecting part to be connected to the nozzle touch mechanism on the support base, and a second connecting part to be connected to the stationary platen on an upper part of the arm part,
• the injection molding machine is configured so that a nozzle touch force for pressing the nozzle against the mold is transmitted to the nozzle touch mechanism via the stationary platen and the connecting member, and
• the second connecting part of the connecting member is disposed to be rotatable in a direction along a moving direction of the injection unit around a rotary pin shaft having an axial direction arranged in a width direction of the support base.
