Injection apparatus support mechanism for an injection molding machine

Abstract

An injection molding machine is equipped with an injection apparatus support mechanism comprising paired main tie-bars disposed to extend between a mold attachment plate and a back plate disposed to face each other; front and rear support plates connected to each other via paired auxiliary tie-bars and slidably supported by the main tie-bars; and an intermediate support block slidably supported by the main and auxiliary tie-bars. Since the mold attachment plate and the back plate are supported by the paired main tie-bars disposed symmetrically with respect to the screw, a sufficient level of mechanical strength (fixation strength) is secured for the mold attachment plate and the back plate. In addition, since the front support plate and the rear support plate are connected to each other by the paired auxiliary tie-bars disposed symmetrically with respect to the screw at positions different from those of the main tie-bars, the mechanical strength of these plates is secured.
