Abstract
An injection molding machine includes an actuator supplied oil so as to actuate, an accumulator in which the oil, supplied to the actuator and having an accumulating hydraulic pressure set in a range of designated values, is accumulated, an accumulating hydraulic pressure determining part configured to determine whether or not the accumulating hydraulic pressure is sufficiently higher than an actuating hydraulic pressure that is a hydraulic pressure for actuating the actuator, and an accumulating hydraulic pressure change part configured to reduce a set value of the accumulating hydraulic pressure in a case where the accumulating hydraulic pressure is sufficiently higher than the actuating hydraulic pressure.
Claims10
A control method of an injection molding machine, comprising the steps of:
- a) setting a range of an accumulating hydraulic pressure that is a hydraulic pressure of oil accumulated in an accumulator and is supplied to an actuator in order to actuate the actuator;
- b) supplying oil from a hydraulic supply source at a certain amount and a certain pressure;
- c) detecting an actuating hydraulic pressure that is a hydraulic pressure of oil actuating the actuator and the accumulating hydraulic pressure;
- d) determining whether or not the detected accumulating hydraulic pressure is sufficiently higher than the detected actuating hydraulic pressure;
- and
- e) reducing the accumulating hydraulic pressure range in a case where the detected accumulating hydraulic pressure is sufficiently higher than the detected actuating hydraulic pressure, wherein the accumulating hydraulic pressure is controlled in the range defined by an on-setting pressure for making the accumulator control part ON and an off-setting pressure for making the accumulator control part OFF.
An injection molding machine, comprising:
- an actuator supplied with oil so as to actuate;
- an actuator pressure detection part configured to detect an actuating hydraulic pressure for actuating the actuator;
- an accumulator in which the oil, supplied to the actuator and having an accumulating hydraulic pressure detected by an accumulator pressure detection part set in a range of designated values, is accumulated;
- an accumulating hydraulic pressure determining part configured to determine whether or not the accumulating hydraulic pressure is sufficiently higher than the actuating hydraulic pressure detected by the actuator pressure detection part;
- an accumulating hydraulic pressure change part configured to reduce the range of the accumulating hydraulic pressure in a case where the accumulating hydraulic pressure is sufficiently higher than the actuating hydraulic pressure;
- and
- an accumulator control part configured to control the accumulating hydraulic pressure in the set range of the designated values, wherein the range of the designated values of the accumulating hydraulic pressure is defined by an on-setting pressure for making the accumulator control part ON and an off-setting pressure for making the accumulator control part OFF.
An injection molding machine, comprising:
- actuating means for being supplied with oil so as to actuate;
- actuator pressure detection means for detecting an actuating hydraulic pressure for actuating the actuator;
- accumulating means for accumulating the oil, the oil supplied to the actuating means and having an accumulating hydraulic pressure detected by accumulator pressure detection means set in a range of designated values;
- accumulating hydraulic pressure determining means for determining whether or not the accumulating hydraulic pressure is sufficiently higher than the actuating hydraulic pressure detected by the actuator pressure detection means;
- accumulating hydraulic pressure change process means for reducing the range of the accumulating hydraulic pressure in a case where the accumulating hydraulic pressure is sufficiently higher than the actuating hydraulic pressure;
- and
- accumulator control means for controlling the accumulating hydraulic pressure in the set range of the designated values, wherein the range of the designated values of the accumulating hydraulic pressure is defined by an on-setting pressure for making the accumulator control means ON and an off-setting pressure for making the accumulator control means OFF.
