Provided are a production method of a mold having a recessed pattern, and a manufacturing method of a pattern sheet having good accuracy and excellent productivity. The production method of a mold includes: a step of preparing an electroform having a protruding pattern and a mold having a first mold and a second mold forming a cavity; a step of fixing the electroform excluding an end portion of the electroform to the first mold; a clamping step of clamping the electroform excluding the end portion of the electroform and a region of the protruding pattern between the first mold and the second mold to form the cavity; and an injection step of filling the cavity with a resin.

A method including a first step of performing clamping of a mold, injection and dwelling in an injection molding machine, a second step of performing a conveyance and a cooling of the mold outside of the machine, and a third step of performing a conveyance of the mold into the machine, an opening of the mold and an ejection of a molded part in the machine. The second step is performed for a first mold, the third step and the next first step are performed for a second mold. The first mold is conveyed by a first conveyance apparatus which is arranged on one lateral side of the machine. The second mold is conveyed by a second conveyance apparatus which is arranged on the other lateral side and is independently driven from the first conveyance apparatus.

Provided is a magnetic clamp device that reduces a magnetic flux leaking from a magnetic circuit passing through a permanent magnet and a magnetic pole member. The magnetic clamp device includes: a permanent magnet 20 surrounding a magnetic pole member 10 and disposed on a surface of a plate PL made of a magnetic body that magnetically clamps a mold in a magnetized state; and a reversible magnet 16 capable of reversing polarity and disposed at the rear of the permanent magnet 20. The magnetic pole member 10 is constituted by a plurality of magnetic pole pieces 101, 102, 103, and 104. Each of the magnetic pole pieces has a first lateral surface R with a shape corresponding to the opposite permanent magnet 20, and a second lateral surface T at which adjacent magnetic pole pieces oppose each other. The magnetic pole member 10 moves as the first lateral surfaces R are suction-adsorbed by the permanent magnet 20 without the second lateral surfaces T interfering with each other. The magnetic pole pieces 101, 102, 103, and 104 are held from the front and rear.

Provided is a magnetic clamp device that is capable of more finely measuring an induced voltage generated in a coil and selecting countermeasures against reductions in magnetization force. Multiple magnet blocks 11, 21 each comprising an invertible magnet 18, the polarity of which can be inverted, and non-invertible magnet 15, are positioned on a surface of a plate PL composed of magnetic body magnetically clamping a mold M1, M2 when in a magnetized state. The magnetic flux traversing the invertible magnet 18; and a control device 33 that determines whether or not there has been a polarity inversion in the induced voltage detected from the coil 31, and if there has been a polarity inversion, warns that the adhesion of the molds M1, M2 has decreased.

A faucet main body structure, an injection molding mold and a molding method are provided. A main body inner core is fixed in the injection molding mold by a new fixing method, ensuring that no additional positioning structure is required to be provided on the outer surface of the main body inner core, so that in the case that the main body inner core is subjected to over-molding, a main body injection-molded layer of the main body injection-molded part is enabled to closely attached to the main body inner core without causing gaps therebetween, which ensures that the faucet main body structure is not susceptible to water seepage, and prolongs the service life of the product.

A mold posture setting method for an injection molding machine includes: a preparation step of preparing, in advance, a mold posture setting device for setting of a posture of a mold set, and fixing its position on a platen plate surface; a mold bringing and fitting step of bringing the mold set into the inter platen space and fitting a locating ring of the mold set into a fitting hole of the plate surface; and a mold posture setting step of setting the posture of the mold set to a prescribed posture by parallel shifting a mold edge regulation member via a guidance means.

A machine base for an injection molding machine is equipped with an upper frame supporting at least a mold clamping device of the injection molding machine from below, two lower frames supporting the upper frame from below in a state of being in contact with a bottom surface of the upper frame, and a plurality of height adjusting mounts respectively attached to bottom surfaces of the two lower frames and configured to adjust the height of the injection molding machine.

There is provided a mold conveying guide device for use in replacement of a mold by conveying the mold into and out of a mold fixing position in an injection molding machine. A connecting arm is attached to the mold and projects in a direction in which the mold is conveyed into the mold fixing position. A guide roller is rotatably supported at a tip end portion of the connecting arm. The guide roller is configured to rotate while being in contact with a mold attaching surface of at least one of a fixed platen and a movable platen, and configured to guide the mold such that the mold can come close to or move away from the at least one of the fixed platen and the movable platen.
