Abstract
A machine base for an injection molding machine is equipped with an upper frame supporting at least a mold clamping device of the injection molding machine from below, two lower frames supporting the upper frame from below in a state of being in contact with a bottom surface of the upper frame, and a plurality of height adjusting mounts respectively attached to bottom surfaces of the two lower frames and configured to adjust the height of the injection molding machine.
Claims5
A machine base for an injection molding machine, the injection molding machine including a mold clamping device configured to open and close a mold and an injection device configured to inject melted resin into the mold, the mold including a stationary mold and a moving mold, the mold clamping device including a stationary platen to which the stationary mold is attached, a moving platen to which the moving mold is attached, a rear platen, and a toggle mechanism configured to move the moving platen toward and away from the rear platen, the machine base comprising:
- an upper frame supporting at least the mold clamping device of the injection molding machine from below, the upper frame having a rear end portion having an upper surface on which the rear platen is fixedly supported, a front end portion having an upper surface on which the stationary platen is fixedly supported, and an intermediate portion extending between the front and rear end portions and having an upper surface on which the moving platen is slidably supported;
- and
- two lower frames supporting the upper frame from below in a state of being in contact with the upper frame, wherein:
- the two lower frames are arranged with a predetermined space,
- of the two lower frames, one lower frame supports the rear end portion of the upper frame at a location below the rear platen, and a rear end section of the intermediate portion of the upper frame from below a rear portion of a moving range of the moving platen, while another lower frame supports the front end portion of the upper frame on a lower side of the stationary platen, and
- the two lower frames are arranged along an opening/closing direction of the mold while providing a void of the mold, wherein the void has a length defined longitudinally between the two lower frames and a height extending along an entire height of the two lower frames.
