摘要:
There is provided a structure for positioning a first mold part of a mold on a mold mounting face in an injection molding machine. The structure comprises a positioner configured to connect the first mold part to part of the injection molding machine, wherein the positioner is adjustable to position the first mold part on the mold mounting face. The positioner is configured to perform one or more of: (i) lift and lower the first mold part across the mold mounting face, (ii) laterally shift the first mold part across the mold mounting face, and (iii) rotate the first mold part on the mold mounting face. The positioner includes a plurality of positioners configured to connect the first mold part with the injection molding machine, wherein the plurality of positioners are selectively operable to coordinate positioning of the first mold part on the mold mounting face.

A drive assembly for rotating and translating a shaft comprising a hollow shaft motor (45) and a fluid cylinder (48). The hollow shaft motor (49) rotates the shaft and the fluid cylinder (48) moves the shaft lengthwise. The drive is particularly useful in the injection unit of an injection-molding machine. In one preferred embodiment the injection unit includes a hollow electric motor (45) and a hydraulic cylinder. A first cylinder wall of the hydraulic cylinder is joined to a rotor (47) of the hollow motor (45). A second cylinder wall of the cylinder is connected to a stationary portion of the hollow motor. A piston (50) has two end portions. One end portion of the piston (50) engages the first cylinder wall and the other end portion of the piston (50) engages the second cylinder wall. Means for rotating the piston are attached to the rotor (47). The means for rotating also permits the piston (50) end portions to slide along the cylinder walls. One channel means provides hydraulic fluid to drive the piston (50) in a forward direction and another channel means provides hydraulic fluid to drive the piston (50) in a reverse direction. Means are provided for attaching an injection screw to the piston (50). In the preferred arrangement, the cylinder (48) is at least partially situated within the hollow motor.

A seal for a check valve for a metal molding machine. The seal is provided by the combination of a peripheral groove in an outer surface of the check valve and a helically wound core in the groove. The helically wound coil is expandable into sealing engagement with a cylindrical wall of the molding machine. The helically wound coil may be movable laterally in the groove between a melt channel open position and a melt channel closed position to open or seal the melt channel.
