Display unit, control device, and injection molding machine
A display unit displays a display screen including information on injection molding, and the display screen displays a setting screen portion that displays setting contents of the injection molding and a power screen portion that displays information on power consumption of the injection molding based on the setting contents together.
1 . A device comprising:
a display screen;
one or more processors; and
a memory storing instructions thereon, the instructions when executed by the one or more processors causing the one or more processors to display on the display screen a setting screen portion that displays setting contents of injection molding and a power screen portion that displays predicted power consumption of the injection molding to be executed based on the setting contents before executing the injection molding, the setting screen portion and the power screen portion being displayed side by side on the display screen to be visually recognizable without requiring a user to perform a manual switching operation,
wherein the setting screen portion is capable of changing the setting contents on the basis of an operation of the user,
in a case where the setting contents are changed by the user, the display screen displays a first power consumption and a second power consumption side by side in a visually comparable form and the one or more processors estimate a reduction effect of power consumption based on the first power consumption and the second power consumption, and cause the display screen to display the reduction effect on the power screen portion wherein the power screen portion displays the predicted power consumption for each of a plurality of processes of the injection molding, and
the first power consumption is derived based on the setting contents before the change, and the second power consumption is estimated based on the setting contents after the change.
2 . The device according to claim 1 ,
when the user has changed the setting contents using the setting screen portion, the display screen maintains a state in which the setting screen portion and the power screen portion are displayed side by side and changes the predicted power consumption based on the setting contents changed by the user using the setting screen portion.
3 . The device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the predicted power consumption of each of the plurality of processes before the change of the setting contents is determined as a ratio of the power consumption of each of the plurality of processes to the power consumption of the entire injection molding.
4 . The device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the predicted power consumption of each of the plurality of processes after the change of the setting contents is determined as a ratio of power consumption of a predetermined process after the change of the setting contents to power consumption of the predetermined process before the change of the setting contents.
5 . The device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the power screen portion displays power consumption of each of the plurality of processes before the change of the setting contents and information on predicted power consumption of each of the plurality of processes after the change of the setting contents together.
6 . The device according to claim 1 ,
when the user has changed the setting contents using the setting screen portion, the display screen changes the predicted power consumption based on the setting contents changed by the user using the setting screen portion without executing a molding cycle.
7 . The device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the setting screen portion changes a display state of a portion in which the setting contents are changed from a display state of an unchanged portion.
8 . The device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the setting screen portion includes
a main setting screen portion in which first setting contents are capable of being set on the basis of an input of a numerical value or a selection of an option performed by the user, and
an auxiliary setting screen portion in which second setting contents, which are items other than the setting contents set in the main setting screen portion and affect the power consumption of the injection molding, are capable of being set.
9 . The device according to claim 8 ,
wherein the auxiliary setting screen portion includes a lock-up setting field in which lock-up execution or lock-up non-execution is selected, the lock-up execution being for locking a mold clamping state of a toggle mechanism to stop driving of a mold clamping motor or to reduce torque of the mold clamping motor, the lock-up non-execution being for driving the mold clamping motor to maintain the mold clamping state of the toggle mechanism.
10 . The device according to claim 8 ,
wherein the auxiliary setting screen portion includes an energy-saving holding pressure-setting field in which automatic setting for optimizing an operation of an injection motor to reduce power consumption of the injection motor in a holding pressure process of the injection molding or manual setting for allowing the user to set an operation of the injection motor is selected.
11 . The device according to claim 8 ,
wherein the auxiliary setting screen portion includes an injection mode-setting field in which a rotating speed of an injection motor at a time of start of a filling process of the injection molding is set.
12 . A control device provided in an injection molding machine and comprising the device according to claim 1 .
13 . An injection molding machine comprising:
the device according to claim 1 .
14 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the display screen displays the reduction effect for each of the plurality of processes of the injection molding.
