An injection molding apparatus that employs a stationary plasticating screw relative to feed port, non-reciprocal helical plasticating screw housed within an inner barrel that is coupled to a plunger head assembly, drive housing, motor and injection cylinders that is housed within an outer barrel/pressure vessel that conveys, melts, homogenizes and pumps polymeric plastic material precisely and efficiently along One axis. The helical plasticating screw is fixed in relative position within the inner barrel so that the material feed opening of the inner barrel and helical plasticating screw are aligned to accept pellets, powder or liquid of polymetric substance. The inner barrel is fixed to a plunger head assembly on the distal end that is housed within a pressure vessel with close proximity between the outside diameter of the plunger head and the inside diameter of said pressure vessel that upon screw rotation transfers polymetric material through the center passageway of said plunger head opening a normally closed one-way shut-off mechanism into said pressure vessel precisely for future displacement of polymeric mass into a mold or other. The apparatus and process of feeding, melting and injecting Polymeric material all occurs on one axis.

A thermosetting composition comprising: (A) a compound represented by the formula (A2) or (A3), (B) a thermal polymerization initiator, and (E) an inorganic filler.

An injection molding machine includes: a plunger provided inside a barrel and capable of moving forward and backward in an axial direction thereof and rotating about an axis thereof; a feed hole for feeding a molding material in liquid form into a front of the plunger; a packing provided on a backward side of the feed hole to prevent the molding material fed through the feed hole from flowing backward along the plunger; and a controller for controlling a retracting movement of the plunger based on pressure of the molding material fed from the feed hole to thereby perform metering. In this configuration, at least part of the feed hole is covered by a side surface of the plunger at least from start to end of the retracting movement.

In a plastic injection machine, a controller in electrical communication with a motorized clamp assembly, a heated cylinder barrel, a motorized pre-plasticizing assembly, an injection assembly, and an air mover and that executes an application that configures the controller to: (i) feed thermoplastic material into a heated cylinder barrel that is closed at one end by an injection valve; (ii) warm the heated cylinder barrel to thermoplastic material to a liquid state; (iii) actuate an injection motor to preload a spring biased plunger received within another end of the heated cylinder barrel, thereby pressurizing liquid thermoplastic material in the heating cylinder barrel to an injection pressure set value; (iv) actuate an injection valve motor to open the injection valve causing the pressurized liquid thermoplastic material to inject into a clamped mold; and (v) release a portion of the clamped mold to release the molded article.

After the injection shaft moves backward and the gas is supplied into the injection chamber, it is desired to accurately control the gas supply amount in the injection device in which the injection shaft is moved forward to compress and dissolve the gas in the molding material in the injection chamber. An injection device of the disclosure supplies a gas into an injection chamber via a gas supply hole which passes through an injection shaft and is opened at a tip surface of the injection shaft. The injection device and a gas dissolution method thereof according to the disclosure perform backward and forward movement of the injection shaft for a plurality of cycles. The injection device of the disclosure has at least one seal ring and at least one piston ring aligned in an axial direction on an outer circumferential surface of the injection shaft.

An injection device in a molding machine includes: a cylinder having an outlet member formed at a tip-end injection side, a stopper part provided at a rear side, and a pellet supply opening for supplying plastic pellets; a melting device having a plurality of melting holes formed communicating from inflow-side large openings to outflow-side small openings in the longitudinal direction of a device main body, the melting device having a diameter equal to an inner diameter of the cylinder; a heating unit for heating the melting device; and a drive unit for causing the melting device to move in a reciprocating manner.

A material supply device includes: an injection unit including a cylinder communicating with a nozzle and coupled to a flow path through which a plasticized material flows, and a plunger configured to move inside the cylinder, the injection unit being configured to perform a suction operation of suctioning the plasticized material from the flow path into the cylinder by moving the plunger rearward, and a feeding operation of feeding the plasticized material suctioned into the cylinder to the nozzle by moving the plunger forward. The plunger includes, in a longitudinal direction of the plunger, at least one first portion made of a material containing metal and a second portion made of a material containing a resin, a gap between the second portion and the cylinder is smaller than a gap between the first portion and the cylinder, and in the suction operation, when the plunger moves most rearward, the second portion is located within the cylinder.

An injection device of an injection molding machine includes an injection cylinder, a plunger, and a seal cylinder. The seal cylinder has a seal surface facing the plunger, a front surface forming a front surface flow path, and an outer side surface forming a side surface flow path. Between the injection cylinder and a side surface of the plunger, a first clearance is provided which is a gap that allows a molding material to flow through. Between the seal surface and the side surface of the plunger, a second clearance is provided which is a gap smaller than the first clearance and is reducible by a pressure of the molding material generated during dwelling.
