Die lip driving structure
Provided is a die lip driving structure for adjusting a gap between a first lip and a second lip by applying a pressing load or a tensile load to a flexible lip portion which forms at least one of the first lip and the second lip provided in a die body, the die lip driving structure including: a lever supported by a rotating shaft as a fulcrum; and an operating rod which is supported to be displaced in an axial direction by the die body. A rotational force of the lever is converted into a force in the axial direction of the operating rod, and the force in the axial direction becomes a pressing load or a tensile load exerted on the flexible lip portion. The lever directly applies a force to the operating rod at the point of action of the lever.
