Abstract
The present invention includes: a connector unit configured to disconnectably connect an injection container unit and a lid member; and a vertically driving mechanism configured to cause the injection container unit and the lid member to move up and down together when the injection container unit and the lid member are connected together and to cause the lid member to move up and down when the injection container unit and the lid member are not connected together.
Claims4
A molding machine comprising:
- an injection container unit configured such that a foamed mixed material is injected from the injection container unit into a cavity of a mold through an ejection port;
- a lid member configured to open and close an opening at a top of the injection container unit;
- a vertically driving mechanism configured to cause the lid member to move up and down along a depth direction of the injection container unit;
- and
- a connector unit configured to disconnectably connect the injection container unit and the lid member, wherein
- in a case where the injection container unit and the lid member are connected together in one unit by the connector unit, the vertically driving mechanism causing the injection container unit to move up or down together with the lid member, and
- in a case where the injection container unit and the lid member are not connected together by the connector unit, the vertically driving mechanism causing the lid member to move up or down without causing the injection container unit to move up or down.
