Mold clamping device
A mold clamping device is provided with a movable platen that moves along a tie bar; a driving mechanism having multiple raising-lowering mechanisms, including a first raising-lowering mechanism and a second raising-lowering mechanism, and configured to be capable of introducing a difference so that a first portion of the movable platen corresponding to the first raising-lowering mechanism is set at a higher position or a lower position than a second portion of the movable platen corresponding to the second raising-lowering mechanism, the driving mechanism moving the movable platen; and a connecting structure, connecting the driving mechanism to the movable platen. The connecting structure is configured as a stopper that restricts movement of the movable platen so that the difference does not become greater than a prescribed value.
1 . A mold clamping device, comprising:
a movable platen that moves along a tie bar;
a driving mechanism having a plurality of raising-lowering mechanisms, including a first raising-lowering mechanism and a second raising-lowering mechanism, and configured to be capable of introducing a difference so that a first portion of the movable platen corresponding to the first raising-lowering mechanism is set at a higher position or a lower position than a second portion of the movable platen corresponding to the second raising-lowering mechanism, the driving mechanism moving the movable platen; and
a connecting structure, connecting the driving mechanism to the movable platen,
wherein the connecting structure is configured as a stopper that restricts movement of the movable platen so that the difference does not become greater than a prescribed value,
the connecting structure comprises a plurality of connecting tools attached to the first raising-lowering mechanism, and
each of the plurality of connecting tools configures a free shank structure having a movable region of the prescribed value.
2 . The mold clamping device according to claim 1 , wherein the movable platen is configured to be able to smoothly slide on a surface of the tie bar in a state in which the difference is equal to the prescribed value.
3 . The mold clamping device according to claim 2 , wherein the driving mechanism comprises four of the raising-lowering mechanisms.
4 . The mold clamping device according to claim 1 , wherein the driving mechanism comprises four of the raising-lowering mechanisms.
