The invention relates to a control device for an injection molding machine with a first stop element moved by a drive unit, wherein the first stop element impinges on a second stop element in the course of the injection molding process.
In the case of injection molding machines, it is already necessary, for reasons of a short production cycle, to intentionally collide different, movably mounted components of the injection molding machine in the course of an injection molding process, instead of slowly and leisurely approximating the corresponding components. As an example, the two mold halves of an injection mold called together form the cavity. These molds must be closed for the injection molding process. In this case, the one half of the form impacting the other half of the mold as a second stop element as the first stop element.
Another example is the ejection device of injection molding machines. Such ejection devices are used to eject half-solidified or fully solidified injection molded parts from the cavity formed by the two mold halves of an injection mold, also known as an injection mold. For this purpose, movably mounted ejector pins are arranged in the region of the injection mold, with which the injection molded parts can be ejected from the cavity of the injection mold. The ejector pins are connected to an ejector and are moved by a drive unit of the ejector. Such ejector pins are known in the art.
However, certain injection-molded parts can only be ejected from the ejector pins if the drive elements moved during the ejecting operation of the ejector device and the associated ejector pins, which are thus also moved, stop abruptly. As a result of this abrupt stop of movement and the associated acceleration, the injection molding unit can fall out of the injection molding tool or of the ejector pins.
This sudden stop is generally made possible by prying one of the moving parts of the ejection device and the ejector pins connected thereto onto a stop surface of a stationary component of the injection molding machine at a certain speed. Particularly in the case of electrically operated injection molding machines, the triggering unit of the ejector device usually has a servomotor 68900 35 / sk 10/09 2010 FR 11:46 (SE / EM NO 509B] @ 006 10/09/2010 10:46 + 43-512-583408 TORGGLER & HOFINGER P. 07/40
2 and other rotating parts, such as a spindle, various pulleys u. Like., Due to their high mass and the associated high moment of inertia occurring in the course of an abrupt stop by an impact on a stationary component and the associated start in a mechanical end position large forces on the components in the power flow, ie between the drive unit and exercise the ejector pins. In particular, the spindle of a spindle drive and the bearings of the movably mounted parts of the drive unit are sensitive to such loads and can be destroyed by a hard impact or at least damaged. This applies in particular to the ball bearing surfaces of the bearings and the spindle. On the other hand, a start or a collision at a lower speed or the execution of too early or too strong a braking operation of the moving parts of the ejector before impact and the associated achievement of the mechanical end position means that certain injection molded parts are not removed from the injection mold, which leads to an extension of the cycle time, as these gas-filled parts must be removed by hand.
To avoid damage to the drive unit, in particular the spindle of a spindle drive, reference curves for the moving stop element are provided, on the one hand, the speed at which the movably mounted stop element is moved and on the other hand that point along the path of the moving stop element are given, and at which the drive unit stops driving the movably mounted stop element or initiates a braking operation for decelerating the first stop element and / or a drive element operatively connected to the stop element, which is energized by the drive unit and from which the first stop element is moved; For example, by the stop element and / or the drive element is braked by means of a braking device or an electric motor that provides the necessary energy to move the stop element is switched off or disconnected from the drive unit. In addition, the end position of the stop element may be predetermined, at which the stop element should come to a stop. In the case of an active deceleration, the nominal course can have so-called deceleration ramps, by means of which it is specified at which rate the moving stop element is decelerated.
The setting of the desired course, in particular the height of the maximum speed of the moving stop element and the time at which the drive is stopped or a braking process is initiated, is generally very difficult and depends 10/09 2010 FR 11:48 [SE / EM HR 5098] 1007 '10/09/2010 10:46 + 43-512-583408 TORGGLER & HOFINGER p. 08/40 3 also heavily dependent on the relevant framework conditions, such as the type of injection-molded parts to be produced. Generally occur in such an impact, as it results, for example, for ejecting the injection molded parts, enormously high forces. If the target curves for the moving stop element are set incorrectly, this can lead to the destruction of the stop element and the drive unit connected to it, because, on the one hand, the impact occurs at too high a speed, e.g. because the target position at which the first stop element should have come to a stop, or on the other hand, the drive unit is still trying to drive the movably mounted stop element, although the mechanical system has already been reached by the impact on the second stop element,
It is an object of the present invention to obviate these drawbacks and to provide a device with which to reduce the destruction of components of the injection molding machine associated with a faulty impact.
This is made possible by a control device having the features of claim 1. in that according to the invention a device is provided with which the force occurring on impact of the first stop element driven by a drive unit on a second stop element or a measured variable associated with this force can be measured, it is possible to provide one parameter provide, by means of which the control device can initiate further processes of the injection molding machine with respect to the movement of the first stop element and / or the drive element. This parameter serves as a decision criterion and can be fed to the control device with a transmission device. The control device may, for example, decide to initiate or intensify a braking operation for the first stop element and / or for a drive element operatively connected to the stop element, or to yield or give way to the second stop element as a result of the impact or to modify future movement processes of the first attachment element. The operative connection between the drive element and the first stop element allows the first stop element to be driven by the drive element and may be e.g. be releasable and / or allow a relative movement. The transmission device consists of known electronic components and signal transmission means. 10/09 2010 FR 11:48 [SE / EM NO 5098] @ 008 10/09/2010 10:46 + 43-512-583408 T ORGGLER & HOFINGER Ξ. 09/40 ·····························································································································································································································································
The detection device can directly or indirectly measure the force occurring during the impact. The measured variable may be an instantaneous value or a value averaged over a short period of time or a maximum value occurring in this short period of time.
Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.
In one embodiment of the invention, the control device comprises means for comparing the value measured by the detection device with a reference value, e.g. can represent a maximum force. These means include known electronic components. If the value measured by the detection device now exceeds the reference value, for example because the speed with which the first stop element has impacted on the second stop element has been too high or the braking process for the first stop element has been delayed or too late low delay rate has occurred, the control device controls a braking device to initiate or amplify a deceleration of the first stop element and / or standing with the first stop element operatively connected drive element. For this purpose, a further transmission device is provided, by means of which the control device can transmit a corresponding signal to the braking device. The further ÜbertragungsuπgsVorrichtung consists of known electronic components and Signalübertragungsmittaln.
It can also be provided that the detection device, the force acting during the impact force by means of a calculation unit comprising suitable electronic components, such. a processor, integrate and compare with the reference value of an integrated force. This is relevant if, for example, as a result of a malfunction, the drive unit tries to drive the first stop element even if it has already impacted on the second stop element and has reached a mechanical end position. In this case, the destructive effect for the components of the injection molding machine is not necessarily achieved by a single force peak, but by an over too long time force. As a result, for example, the motor of the drive unit can be destroyed. 10/09 2010 FR 11:48 [SE / EK NO 5098] 0009 10/09/2010 10:48 + 43-512-583408 TDRGGLER & HOFINGER p. 10/40 • · * · * # · · · · ·· · 5
The delay of the moving first stop element can be done by an active braking with a suitable braking device. These include hydraulic or pneumatic brake elements but also devices with which the speed of an electric motor can be reduced or the direction of rotation can be reversed.
But it is also possible that the braking device only serves that an active driving of the first Anschtagelementes is terminated, whereupon this slows down by itself as a result of the friction acting. In this case, the braking device may comprise a device with which the power supply is interrupted by the engine or the engine is decoupled from the drive unit. It is also possible that the braking device has passive brake elements for braking the first stop element.
The necessary electrical and electronic components for the measurement by means of the detection device, as well as for comparison with the reference value are known as well as the means for forwarding the control signals to the braking device per se in the prior art.
In one embodiment of the invention, the control device has an emergency stop Varrichtung, preferably in the form of a circuit breaker, with which an immediate shutdown of the drive unit can take place.
In one embodiment of the invention, the detection device has a vibration measuring device with which vibrations of the first and / or second stop element can be measured, since upon impact of the first stop element on the second stop element, the first and the second stop element are vibrated. The amplitude of these vibrations is a measure of the force generated during the impact. Additionally or alternatively, the detection device may include a strain gauge, e.g. a strain gauge, for measuring a resulting from the impact of the first on the second stop element deformation of the first and / or second stop element can be measured. This deformation is mostly reversible since the first abutment element and the second abutment element are made of an at least partially elastic material, e.g. Such deformation is also a measure of the impact force of the impact of the first stop element on the second stop element. 10/09 2010 FR 11:48 [SE / EM NO 5098] @ 010 10/09/2010 10:46 + 43-512-583408 TORGGLER & HOFINGER p. 11/40 * · · · · + * · · * «* ♦ * * ·« I%.% *. *. *. * *. *. *. *. *. *
Proximity sensors, such as inductive sensors, tactile sensors and the like.
The detection device may also have a sensor with which the current absorbed by an electric motor or a change in the engine speed can be measured, which can also serve as a measure of the impact force. In the case of a hydraulic or pneumatic injection molding machine, the detection device may comprise a sensor for the pressure in the hydraulic or pneumatic system, which may also serve as a measure of the impact force.
In one embodiment of the invention, the detection device has a measuring device for measuring a damping force, which results from the damping of the impact of the first stop element on the second stop element. If this damping by means of a spring, this measuring device can be designed as a measurement of the spring force, for example by the compression of the spring is measured. In this case, the extent of the compression and / or the speed at which the spring is compressed can be measured. Such measuring devices are e.g. given by inductive sensors, light barrier sensors, etc. It may be provided that only the standing with the stop element in operative connection drive element is damped after the first is impacted on the second stop element.
In a further embodiment, the control device has an electronic memory in which target profiles for the movement of the first stop element are stored. These target curves include the relevant parameters for the movement of the stop element, such as the acceleration, the maximum speed, the location or time at which a braking operation is initiated and optionally the rate at which the stop element is delayed.
According to the invention, it is now provided to modify the setpoint curves as a function of the measured variable determined by the detection device and store them in a modified form in the electronic memory for future injection molding processes. Exceeds the measured value measured by the detection device, the reference value, for example, because the wrong setting course or the settings of the injection molding machine are not correct and thus the impact of the first to the second stop element is too strong, the control device can correct this for other processes and the desired course 10/09 2010 FR 11:48 [SE / EM NO. 5098] @ 011 10/09/2010 10:46 + 43-512-583408 TORGGLERSHOFINSER p. 12/40 • as a result of repeated faulty performance of the first · · Tt · · · »» * t * · tll »« »· • ··« «· · · · ··· ·« · · · Φ # «• ♦ · * · * · * · ·· 7 second stop element is prevented. The modification can be given, for example, by a reduction in the maximum speed of the first stop element or by an earlier reading in of the braking operation or by a greater braking,
The invention further relates to an injection molding machine having a first stop element moved by a drive unit and a drive element operatively connected to the first stop element and having a second stop element, wherein the first attachment element impinges on the second stop element in the course of the injection molding process. The injection molding machine further comprises a brake device, which may be formed as stated above and a control device as described above. The drive unit, the first and the second stop member may also be formed as stated above. The drive unit is used for, preferably translational movement of the drive element, which subsequently drives the first stop element,
According to the invention, the drive unit has an electric motor, it being possible to reduce the energy transmitted by the electric motor to the drive unit from the brake device.
For this purpose, the braking device comprises an electrical switching unit which, when the value measured by the detection device is exceeded and compared with a reference value, drives the electric motor in order to reduce the energy transmitted to the drive unit. This can be done by reducing the engine speed, changing the direction of engine rotation, or by interrupting or reducing power to the engine. As a result, the first stop element and / or the drive element operatively connected to the first stop element are decelerated.
The invention further relates to an injection molding machine having a first stop element moved by a drive unit and a drive element operatively connected to the first attachment element and having a second stop element, the first stop element impacting the second stop element in the course of the injection molding process. The injection molding machine further comprises a brake device, which may be formed as stated above and a control device as described above. The drive unit, the first and the second attachment element and the drive element can likewise be designed as stated above. 10/09 2010 FR 11:48 [SE / EM NO 5098] @ 012 10/09/2010 10:46 + 43-512-583408 TORGGLER & HOFINGER p. 13/40 8

FIG. 1 shows how an injection-molded part is produced in the cavity 27 of the injection mold, wherein the closed cavity 27 is formed by the movable platens 8 and fixed platens 8 'and is received over the recess. 10/09 2010 FR 11:48 SE / EM NR 5098] @ 014 10/09/2010 10: 4 £ + 43-512-583408 TDRGGLER & HGFINGER B. 15/40 * ···· ·· «

The arranged in Fig. 1 to the left of the movable platen 8 part of the injection molding machine with the ejector 1 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
After the plastic melt is at least partially solidified in the cavity 27, the injection mold is opened, so that the injection molded part can be removed from the mold halves. For this purpose, a stop plate 28 is connected to the coupling piece 6 via a connecting element 26. The stop plate serves as a carrier of a total of three ejector pins 7. If the drive element 2 moves in the direction of the arrow B, this movement is transmitted via the spring 4 to the slide element 5, the stop plate 28 and the ejector pins 7. In particular, if the plastic melt is not yet solidified, it may occur that the injection molded part does not chip off from the ejector pins 7. Upon cooling of the injection molded parts by the opening injection mold, these shrink on the ejector 7, so that can be difficult to solve the injection molded parts of the ejector 7. For this purpose, the stop plate 28 is driven at high speed in the direction of the injection mold, so that the first stop surface 30 bounces on the second stop surface 29 and stop the ejector 7 abruptly. As a result, the injection molded part drops from the ejector pins 7 due to the high acceleration that occurs. The stopper plate 28 with the first stopper surface 30 and the ejector pins 7 are part of the first stopper member 35, which impacts the second stopper member 36, which includes the second abutment surface 29.
The location of the stoppage of the first stop element 35 is determined before a braking device 38 or the impact of the first stop surface 30 on the second stop surface 29 and defines the mechanical end position of the ejector pins 7 and the sliding element 5. If an active braking device to reach the mechanical end position is provided, this position can be determined beforehand by driving, so that the mechanical stroke of the ejector pins 7 determined and course as a course 32 is stored in an electronic memory.
FIG. 2 shows an arrangement of an ejector device 1 which ejects an injection-molded part produced in an injection mold via ejector pins 7 (not shown in this figure). 10/03 2010 FR 11:48 [SE / EM NO 5098] @ 015 10/09/2010 10:46 + 43-512-583400 TORGGLERSHÜFINGER Ξ. 16/40 • * I ··························································································································································
The ejector device 1 has an electric motor 13 which has a belt drive which drives a spindle 2 'by means of a belt 14 and a belt pulley 15, which is connected to a spindle nut 17 in a rotationally fixed manner via screws 16 and 16'. The spindle 2 'and the spindle 2' fixedly connected ejector plate 9, which is guided during the translational movement of a guide pin 10, are parts of the translationally movable drive element 2. The connected to the drive element 2, in particular with the spindle 2 'parts the ejector 1 are moved during the Auswerfevorganges relative to the injection mold, ie the injection mold translationally. On the ejector 9 a sleeve-shaped guide member 3 is fixed, in which the bolt-like formed sliding element 5 is mounted relative to the guide member 3 limited translationally movable. The ejector device 1 is designed as an ejector coupling, wherein the sliding element 5 can be coupled to a coupling piece 6 via the claw 12, the coupling piece 6 with the sliding element 5 is detachably connectable,
Not shown in this figure are the ejector pins 7 connected to the coupling piece 6, which are arranged in or on the mold clamping plate 8, which is part of the injection mold. If the sliding element 5 is moved with connected coupling piece 6 in the direction of the platen 8, the movement is transmitted to the stop plate 28 and the ejector 7, which can be moved to a second stop surface 29, which also defines the mechanical end position, not shown.
For transmitting the force transmitted by the electric motor 13 and the belt drive to the spindle 2, the sliding element 5 can be fixedly connected to the ejector plate 9. In contrast, in the illustrated ejector 1 between the ejector 9 and the sliding element 5 in the guide element 3, a formed in the form of a spring 4 damping element 4 is arranged. The sliding member 5 is thus spring-loaded, whereby the movement of the spindle 2 'and the ejector 9 can be transferred to the sliding element 5 and thus on the coupling piece 6 on the ejector 7. The bias voltage can correspond to the rated load of the electric motor 13.
The stop plate 28 and the Auswerferstifte 7 and thus also the sliding element 5 can be driven at high speed on the second stop surface 29 of the second stop member 36 and bounce on this, whereupon the ejector lifts 7 10/09 2010 FR 11:48 [SE / EM NO 5098] 0018 l / 09/2010 10:46 + 43-512-583406 TORGGLER & HOFINGER £. 17/40 ······ · · * * · · * * * * »* * · 4 * M ·» | · ··· * · · · · * * ·
And the sliding learn to suddenly stop 5, whereby a high acceleration and a high jerk is transmitted, so that the Spritzgiefiteile can fall off the ejector pins 7.
Such an impact leads due to the high inertia of the drive element 2, so inter alia, the spindle 2 'and the ejector 9, a high load on the spindle 2' and in particular the bearing 18, 18 'of the spindle nut. In order to avoid such stresses and the associated damage, the spindle 2 'and the ejector 9 can be moved even with stitlstehendem sliding element 5 due to the limited relative mobility of the sliding element 5 relative to the guide member 3 even further. The spring 4 is compressed and the spindle 2 'and the ejector 9 braked slowly and gently. The space between the sliding element 5 and the ejector plate 9 thus forms a caster and a reserve stroke for the drive element 2, in particular the spindle 2 'and the ejector plate 9.
The drive element 2 is moved by the electric motor 13 by a control device 31 in accordance with a desired course 32 stored in an electronic memory of the control device 31. This movement is transmitted via the spring 4 and the sliding element 5 on the stop plate 28 and the ejector pins 7 and thus on the first stop member. Is due to a faulty setting the time at which the deceleration of the first stop element is initiated, too late, so that the drive element 2 presses with high force on the first stop element after it has already impacted on the second stop element and has reached its mechanical end position, This can lead to destruction of said components and thus the entire injection molding machine. However, the spring 4 can also be set such that compression takes place only via an excessive impact force.
A detecting device 11 serves to monitor the compression of the spring 4. As soon as the sliding element 5, which is in operative connection with the spring 4, exceeds a certain position, a braking operation is initiated by a braking device 38, which is not shown in this figure. The compression of the spring 4 is a measure of the force with which the first stop element 35, so the stop plate 28, is impacted on the second stop member 36, in particular on the second stop surface 29. For this purpose, the detection device 11 has a sensor, which may be, for example, an inductive sensor or a light sensor. The detection device 11 in this case has a calculation unit 37, by means of which the measured value with a reference value 10/09 2010 FR 11:46 [SE / EM NR 509B] @ 017 18/40 10/09/2010 10:46 + 43-512 -583408 TORGGLER & HDFINGER S. · * · * ··· * · t • · · · · * * *· * «* * * * * *« «ψ ·« ·· • · * · «« »*« If this reference value is exceeded, the braking device is actuated and activated by the control device 31 via the transmission device 33. By the braking device 38, for example, the electric motor 13 is turned off, reduces the engine speed, or a
Direction of rotation reversal of the motor 13 are initiated. In addition, the calculation unit 37 can change the set course 32 for the movement of the first stop element 35 and initiate the time of deceleration earlier, or increase the braking rate, so that future exceedances of the reference value can be avoided.
In the detail view of FIG. 3a, which shows the area marked A in FIG. 2, a recess 6 'in the coupling piece can be seen on the one hand, via which the ejector pins 7 can be fastened to the coupling piece by means of a screw. Also visible are stop surfaces 19 of the guide element 3, which limit the mobility of the sliding element 5 relative to the sleeve-like guide element 3, so that during the Auswerfevorgangs a certain bias of the spring 4 for spring loading of the sliding element 5 is available, and the head 20 of the sliding element 5 abuts against these Anschiagflächen 19. The sliding element 5 is thus formed as a stop pin which can abut against the stop surfaces 19 of the guide element 3.
The sensor element 21 can have a mirror, with which a light signal generated by the detection device 11 is reflected. Shifts the result of the compression of the spring 4, the sensor element 21 relative to the fixed to the ejector 9 mounted part of the detection device 11, this light signal can no longer be reflected. In particular, the speed with which the sensor element 21 is moved out of the detection field of the detector device 11 is a measure of the impact force of the first stop element 35 on the second stop element 36. Instead of a mirror, the sensor element 21 as part of an inductive sensor for the detection device 11 be formed.

Fig. 4 shows a schematic representation of a control device 31 according to the invention in connection with a Sphtzgießmaschine 34 having a first stop member 35 and a second stop member 36, wherein the first stop member 35 in the course of an injection molding, for example, for ejecting the injection molded parts or for closing the Formhäiften 8, 8 'impinges on the second Anschiagelement 36.
From a detection device 11, which is part of the control device 31, the impact force or a measured variable associated therewith is measured. This is indicated by the dashed line between the first stop member 35 and the
Detection device 11 symbolizes. A calculation unit 37 compares the measured variable with a reference value. When the reference value is exceeded, a braking device 38 is triggered by the control device 31 via the transmission device 33, which initiates a braking operation of the first stop element 35 or amplifies an already existing braking process. For this purpose, the brake device 38 is connected, for example, to the electric motor 13 and has control devices with which the electric motor is controlled, e.g. its direction of rotation can be reversed. However, the brake device 38 may also have hydraulic and / or pneumatic brake elements. In addition to the detection device 11, the transmission device 33 and the calculation unit 37, the control device 31 has further known electrical and electronic components. These elements can be connected via known connection means such as signal lines or at least partially arranged together on a printed circuit board.
FIG. 5 shows a modification of a desired travel 32 of the movement of the first stop element 35 as a result of a too high impact force measured by the detection device 11. In an electronic memory of the control device 31 of the injection molding machine 34, a desired course 32 for the movement of the first Anschiagelements 35 is stored. At time 22, the braking ramp begins, with the braking of the first stop member 35 occurring at a certain rate. If, by measuring with the detection device 11, it emerges that the impact force on the second attachment element 36 is too high, or if the first stop element 35 is driven when this is already in its mechanical end position, a 10/09 2010 FR 11 : 48 [SE / EM NO 5098] @ 019 10/09/2010 10:46 + 43-512-583408 TORGGLER & HOFINGER p. 20/40 15 earlier time 23 to initiate the braking process. Additionally or alternatively, it is possible to enhance the braking action and to provide a higher braking rate, represented by the steeper deceleration ramp 24. As a result, the first stop element 35 comes to a standstill, both in terms of time and space, and damage to parts of the Sprrtzgießmaschine 34 can be avoided.
Fig. 6 shows an embodiment of a detection device 11. The motor 13 is connected via belt 14 with the first stop element 35 to be moved. The electric motor 13 is connected to a motor rocker 38, which is at least limited rotatably mounted about an axis 39. In the region of the electric motor 13, the detection device 11 is also arranged, wherein a sensor element 21, for example, an inductive sensor, is acted upon by a spring 40, and is fixed to a different housing part from the electric motor 13. By the bias of the spring 40, the distance of the sensor element 21 is set to a Messpiatte 41, which is fixedly connected to the electric motor 13. The bias of the spring 40 is selected so that the sensor element 21 at nominal load of the electric motor 13 assumes a reference distance to the measuring plate 41
If now the electric motor 13 is loaded beyond the nominal loading, for example because the impact force exceeds a critical value, or because the first stop element 35 rests against the second stop element 36 after impact and thus the further movement of the first attachment element 35 from the second stop element 36 is inhibited despite driving the electric motor 13, this is rotated by the rotatable mounting of the electric motor 13 about the axis 39, so that the distance of the measuring plate 41 to the sensor element 21 changes. This change can be detected and transmitted via the control device 31 and the transmission device 33 to a brake device 38. Then it can reduce the engine power or shut off the electric motor 13 or reverse its direction of rotation.

This can be detected by a sensor element 21 and transmitted to the brake device 38.
