The present invention relates to a conveyance device with which a subject to be molded can be positioned relative to a forming die. This conveyance device conveys a subject to be molded to one die from among forming dies to which a resin material is supplied from a resin injection part and comprises a retaining unit which retains and delivers the subject to be molded to the one die, a first movement mechanism which moves the subject to be molded having been delivered to the one die in a first direction toward the resin injection part, and a second movement mechanism which moves the subject to be molded having been delivered to the one die in a second direction differing from the first direction.

A method for manufacturing a molded part by an injection molding machine while changing between multiple molds, the method including transporting a stack mold including an intermediate mold to a molding operation position inside the injection molding machine, wherein the intermediate mold includes a first unit for closing a first opening portion for delivering a resin to a cavity and a second unit for closing a second opening portion for receiving the resin from a next to the intermediate mold, the next mold including a third unit for closing a third opening portion for receiving the resin, injecting the resin into the mold, closing the opening portions by the first unit, second unit, and third unit, and unloading the mold from the molding operation position after the resin is injected into the mold, where the first, second, and third opening portions are closed in this order.

A method for manufacturing a molded part while changing between multiple molds including a first ejecting step of opening a first mold and ejecting the molded part from the first mold, a checking step of checking the ejected molded part to determine if the molded part is acceptable, a first injecting step of closing the first mold and performing injection into the first mold, a second ejecting step of, where the ejected molded part is determined to be acceptable, changing the first mold to a second mold and ejecting the molded part from the second mold after the first injecting step, and a third ejecting step of, in a case where the molded part ejected in the first ejecting step is determined to be non-acceptable, not changing the first mold to the second mold and ejecting the molded part from the first mold.

A method for detachably attaching a linking unit, including an end with a hole and a slit, to a mold, the method comprising inserting a first attachment member connected to the mold through the hole; and inserting a second attachment member connected to the mold through the slit, wherein the linking unit is detached from the mold by moving the linking unit in a direction opposite to a direction in which the slit is formed in a state where the first attachment member is disconnected from the mold and the second attachment member remains connected to the mold.

An injection molding system including an injection molding apparatus that performs injection molding with a mold, and a conveyor apparatus that moves the mold to a position in the injection molding apparatus, wherein the improvement to the injection molding system includes a connection part configured to fix the conveyor apparatus with the injection molding apparatus such that a side surface of the injection molding apparatus and a side surface of the conveyor apparatus facing each other are spaced apart.

An injection molding system including an injection molding apparatus that performs injection molding, and a conveyor apparatus configured to insert a mold through an opening of the injection molding apparatus, wherein the improvement to the injection molding system includes the injection molding apparatus further comprising a first door configured to restrict access via a first opening when a first door is closed and a second door configured to restrict access via a second opening when a second door is closed, and a controller configured to start injection molding with the mold in a case where the first door is partially opened and the second door is closed.

An injection molding system includes an injection molding apparatus, an actuator that moves a mold between a first position and a second position, wherein the second position is different from the first position and injection processing is performed at the second position, a linking unit that links the actuator and the mold, wherein the improvement to the linking unit includes a rotation unit that rotates around a predetermined axis based on a change in a position of the mold along a first direction that is different from a second direction that is based on the first position and the second position.

A mold comprising a basal plane configured to contact a supporting plane of a conveyor apparatus when the mold is conveyed by the conveyor apparatus, and a side plane configured to contact a plurality of conveyance members when the mold is conveyed by the conveyor apparatus, wherein at least a section of the side plane that contacts the plurality of conveyance members is tapered.

Provided is a resin molding apparatus that can suppress a molding problem caused by a variation in a thickness of an object to be molded or suppress a variation in a thickness of a resin molded part, and can perform a mold releasing operation. A resin molding apparatus includes: a molding mold having one mold and the other mold; one mold wedge mechanism; and one mold cavity block driving mechanism. In a state that a height position of one mold cavity block is set using the one mold cavity block driving mechanism and a position in a direction away from the other mold in the one mold cavity block having been moved to the height position is fixed to be limited using the one mold wedge mechanism, a mold releasing operation can be performed using the one mold wedge mechanism and the one mold cavity block driving mechanism.

A vertical injection molding machine includes a mold clamping device configured to clamp a mold and an injection device configured to inject an injection material. The mold clamping device includes a fixed plate, an upper movable plate that is driven up and down with respect to the fixed plate, and a turntable provided on the fixed plate and is rotatable with respect to the fixed plate. In a case the turntable is provided with a plurality of types of molds configured to mold different molded articles, when the turntable is rotated, one type of the molds is switched to a molding target mold and the other type of the molds is switched to a standby target mold, and the molding target mold is clamped by driving of the upper movable plate and is injected with the injection material.
