- the function of the check valve in the molding mode by a general injection molding machine is as follows. First, in the weighing step, the check valve moves to the front open position as the resin moves because the measuring is performed so that the resin moves from the screw main body side to the front of the screw head portion. That is, the resin is allowed to move forward. Further, in the injection process, the measured resin pressure acts backward, so that the check valve moves to the rear closed position. As a result, the backflow of the resin is blocked by the check valve. Therefore, the shape of the check valve is cylindrical, and the outer peripheral surface of the check valve comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the heating cylinder so that there is almost no gap and the check valve is inwardly formed. , The flowable resin passage of the resin is blocked.

Therefore, the recirculation amount can be easily set, and the influence on the original amount (filling amount) of the resin R to be injection-filled with respect to the mold 2 can be avoided. Therefore, it is desirable that the injection pressure Pi at the time of recirculating molding is set so as not to affect the original molding by the molding injection pressure Pi at the time of non-refluxing.

- this plasticization treatment includes a plasticization promotion treatment.
- the metering motor 25 of the injection device Mi is rotationally driven by the control of the hydraulic pump 36 and the switching of the valve circuit 37.
- the specific molding mode does not require a weighing step for accurately measuring the resin R as in the molding method using a general molding mode. That is, since the injection treatment in the specific molding mode only needs to perform the injection operation until the cavity is filled with the resin R, it is sufficient to carry out a large amount of the resin R in the plasticizing step. In other words, the weighing operation in a general weighing process is performed, but the weighing control for obtaining an accurate weighing value becomes unnecessary.

Is desirable.
- FIG. 5 shows the behavior of the resin R during the plasticization treatment.
- the screw 4 rotates at a set rotation speed and period. Since the resin R is transferred forward by the rotation of the screw 4, the resin R on the 4 m side of the screw main body portion 4 m is accumulated forward through the screw head portion 4s as shown by arrows D1 ...
- the check valve portion 4 sn moves to the front open position shown in FIG. 5, so that the resin R on the screw main body 4 m side is a check valve. It reaches the front of the conical tip portion 4sc through the resin passage 12 inside the portion 4sn and the resin passage 13 of the conical tip portion 4sc.
- the plasticized resin R is gradually accumulated in the heating cylinder 3 in front of the conical tip portion 4sc, and the screw 4 moves backward with the accumulation.

Due to the function, a predetermined amount of the reflux resin Rm that becomes a part of the resin R is gradually refluxed to the screw main body 4m side behind the screw head portion 4s (step SN). That is, since the screw 4 moves forward at the time of injection, the check valve portion 4sn moves to the rear closed position due to the resin pressure in the front.
- the resin passage 12 inside the check valve portion 4sn is blocked, but the reflux resin Rm, which is a part of the resin R accumulated in front of the screw head portion 4s, is shown in FIG. 6 due to the injection pressure Pis.

- the mold 2 side shifts to the cooling process Wc4 in which the cooling process is performed for the preset cooling time.
- the resin R is solidified with the passage of time, and the resin R is naturally compressed with the solidification (steps S30 and S31). That is, since the capacity decreases due to the solidification of the resin R, natural compression is performed by the pressure action due to the elastic return of the mold 2 (particularly the movable mold 2 m) so as to follow the decrease in the capacity.
- FIG. The figure shows an image in which the residual mold gap Lme is generated as the mold gap Lm.
- the plasticization promotion step Wi3 shown in FIG. 15 is executed at a preset timing (step S32).
- the auxiliary plasticization treatment for the resin (material) is performed for the predetermined auxiliary plasticization time T1 set in advance (step S121).
- the reason for this is that at the end stage of the injection process, the amount of the thermoplastic accumulation resin R accumulated in front of the screw 4 becomes small, so that the amount of recirculation is secured by performing the auxiliary plasticization treatment for the auxiliary plasticization time T1.
- the auxiliary plasticizing treatment may be an amount (total amount) in the plasticizing step Wi1 or may be a part thereof.
- the auxiliary plasticization time T1 to be set may be set according to a predetermined auxiliary plasticization position with respect to the screw 4.
- the resin R in the mold 2 (including the gate and the like) is solidified to some extent, and even if a high forward pressure is applied to the screw 4 by the pressurizing control function, the front is forwarded. It is possible to set a length at which the resin R does not flow, or a length that does not affect the resin R (molded product) in the mold 2 even if the screw 4 is controlled to rotate in the reverse direction by the reverse rotation control function. desirable.
- the substantial plasticization promotion step Wi3 is performed. That is, the reverse rotation control function and / or the pressurization control function described above for the screw 3 is executed (step S122).

- the pressing force at this time is set higher than the molding injection pressure Pi (limiter pressure Ps), so that it is possible to return to the rear.
- the start of applying the pressing force is the timing at which the resin R does not flow forward even if a high pressing force is applied forward, that is, at least by starting the cooling step Wc4 in the mold 2, the gate seal or the like. Is performed, and the molded product (resin R) is not affected.
- the plasticized and accumulated resin R is refluxed to the rear of the screw head portion 4s through the gap between the screw head portion 4s and the heating cylinder 3. Then, the reflux resin Rm that has flowed back to the rear of the screw head portion 4s is added to and mixed with the resin R on the screw main body portion 4m side. After that, when the plasticization promotion processing time T2 has elapsed, the plasticization promotion control (pressurization control) is stopped (steps S123 and S124). That is, the plasticization promotion step Wi3 using the pressurization control function is completed.
- the plasticization promotion treatment time T2 and the pressing pressure are preferably higher than the completion of the cooling treatment and the injection pressure Pi from the viewpoint of ensuring the production efficiency and the yield rate.
- the screw head portion 4s be provided with a slight reflux passage or a reflux passage with an opening / closing function in which reflux does not occur depending on the molding injection pressure Pi.
- step S122 when the reverse rotation control function is performed, in addition to the pressurization control function, the measuring motor 25 is driven and the screw 4 is controlled to rotate in the reverse direction at a preset rotation speed (step S122).
- the reflux of the plasticized storage resin R through the screw head portion 4s, which is a backflow, to the rear of the screw head portion 4s is promoted.
- the reflux resin Rm that has flowed back through the screw head portion 4s is added to and mixed with the resin R on the screw main body portion 4m side behind the screw head portion 4s.
- the plasticization promotion control reverse rotation control
- FIG. 20 shows a state in which the screw 4 is advanced and the target return amount is returned to the rear of the screw head portion 4s.
- step S33 the plasticization process by the plasticization step Wi1 is performed (step S33).
- the reflux resin Rm is mixed on the front side of the screw main body 4 m, that is, a part of the resin R that has been subjected to the primary plasticization treatment accumulated in front of the screw 4 is used as the reflux resin Rm and the screw main body 4 m. Since it is returned to the side and mixed, the resin R in which the reflux resin Rm is mixed is subjected to the plasticization treatment. Therefore, even when the insufficiently plasticized resin R and the refluxed resin Rm are accumulated in front of the screw 4, the replasticization treatment is performed, and the plasticization is further promoted.
