Device for assisting molding condition determination and injection molding apparatus

A device for assisting molding condition determination and for use with a molding method that molds an article by feeding molten material into a cavity of a mold of a molding apparatus, the device comprising:

• a first learning model storage unit that stores a first learning model created through machine learning in which at least molding state data detected during molding of previous articles by a sensor attached to the molding apparatus is used as first learning data, the first learning model based on the molding state data of previous articles and a quality element of each of the previous articles;
• a second learning model storage unit that stores a second learning model created through machine learning in which the molding state data and a molding condition element are used as second learning data, the second learning model based on the molding state data of previous articles and the molding condition element of each of the previous articles;
• a molding state data adjustment amount obtaining unit that obtains, using the first learning model, a molding state data adjustment amount by calculating a difference between molding state data during the molding of the article detected by the sensor and a molding state data target value obtained by using the first learning model;
• and
• a molding condition element adjustment amount obtaining unit that obtains, using the second learning model, an adjustment amount for the molding condition element corresponding to the molding state data adjustment amount.
