An injection unit for a shaping machine includes an injection element suitable for introducing a plasticized material into a mould tool by a linear movement of the injection element. The injection element is coupled in linear motion-transmitting relationship to a bearing element, and at least two linear drives are adapted to exert a force on the injection element by the bearing element. The force can be transmitted by a transmission element from the at least two linear drives to the bearing element and thus to the injection element, and at least one clearance is arranged between the bearing element and the transmission element so that deformations of the bearing element are not transmitted to the transmission element or are transmitted to a reduced degree.

The present disclosure provides an injection machine for a recycled plastic injection molding system. The injection machine comprises a supplying system configured to drive plastics from an entry end to downstream of receiving route, a heating system disposed to downstream of the supplying system and configured to melt plastics and drive plastics to the downstream of receiving route, and a buffer system disposed to downstream of the heating system and configured to be a receiving state and a supplying state. When the buffer system is in the receiving state, the buffer system is configured to receiving plastics from the heating system. When the buffer system is in the supplying state, the buffer system is configured to drive plastics to downstream of the receiving route.

A screw can be driven along an axial direction of a heating barrel and rotatable. An injection piston drives the screw along the axial direction. An injection hydraulic cylinder is partitioned into a first chamber in which pressured hydraulic oil for driving the injection piston is supplied and a second chamber from which hydraulic oil is discharged, and drives the injection piston in the axial direction by hydraulic pressure. A first oil discharge port is blocked by the injection piston when the injection piston advances to a holding pressure switching position. A second oil discharge port can discharge the hydraulic oil from the front chamber regardless of the position of the injection piston. The first oil discharge port is disposed at a position opposed to the first oil discharge port across a center axis of the injection hydraulic cylinder, and is connected to the first oil discharge port.

An injection molding machine having vent mechanism includes a plastication device, an injection device, a junction, a vent-up sensor, and a controller. The vent-up sensor detects vent-up. When the vent-up is detected, the controller switches from normal conditions to vent-up suppression conditions. The vent-up suppression conditions have at least one of the followings: increasing a rotational speed of the plastication screw to be higher than that in the normal conditions; using retreat-metering when the retreat-metering is not performed in the normal conditions, wherein in the retreat-metering, in addition to a pressure of the resin material, a force in a retreat direction is applied to the injection plunger to move the injection plunger at a predetermined retreat speed in the metering; and increasing the retreat speed of the injection plunger to be higher than that in the normal conditions when the retreat-metering is performed in the normal conditions.

Provided is an injection device and an injection control method which are capable of preventing a drooping phenomenon from an injection nozzle even during high cycle molding, and capable of appropriately plasticizing and molding a resin having poor thermal stability. An injection device (10) of the disclosure includes: an injection cylinder (30) which accumulates a molding material and has an injection nozzle (33) at the front; an injection plunger (31) which is moved backward in the injection cylinder (30); an injection plunger driving device (50, 150) which moves the injection plunger (31) backward; and an injection controller (60, 160). The injection controller (60, 160) retreats the injection plunger (31) by the injection plunger driving device (50, 150) to perform metering in a plastication metering step of metering the molding material supplied into the injection cylinder (30).
