Drive device for displacing two linearly moveable components pertaining to a plastic injection moulding machine
First Claim
1. A drive device for displacing first and second linearly movable components (10, 13) of a plastics injection-molding machine at least partly at successive times, in particular for displacing the first component that is an injection unit (10) for bringing an injection nozzle (15) into contact with a mold, and for displacing the second component that is an injection mechanism (13) for injecting polymer into the mold,wherein the drive device comprises an electric motor, first and second clutches, a threaded drive having a threaded spindle (51) and a spindle nut (50), and at least one shut-off valve;
- wherein the electric motor (45) displaces the second component (13) by means of the first clutch (55) and the threaded drive;
wherein the electric motor displaces the first component (10) by means of the second clutch (56), the at least one shut-off valve (75, 95) connects between at least one of the clutches and a corresponding one of the first and the second movable components (10, 13), and the threaded drive is arranged between the electric motor (45) and the two clutches (55, 56), and wherein, for displacing one of the first and the second movable components (10, 13), the drive spindle (51) of the threaded drive is movable linearly beyond a displacement distance necessary for displacing the other of the first and the second movable components (13, 10).

Abstract
A drive device which is intended for displacing two linearly movable components of a plastics injection-molding machine at least partly at successive times, in particular for displacing the injection unit for bringing the injection nozzle into contact with a mold and for displacing the injection mechanism for injecting polymer into the mold. With a known drive device, arranged downstream of an electric rotating motor are two clutches, by which rotational movements are transmitted on the basis of frictional engagement, and with which wear accordingly occurs. Each clutch is followed by a threaded drive, by which the rotational movement of the output element of a clutch is transformed into the linear movement of the machine component to be displaced. To make the known drive device for a plastics injection-molding machine less susceptible to wear and less costly in a first way the threaded drive is arranged between the electric motor and the two clutches and, for displacing the one movable component, the linearly movable drive output element of the threaded drive is able to be moved beyond the displacement distance necessary for displacing the other movable component. In a second way the electric motor is an electric linear motor with a linearly movable drive output element, arranged downstream of which in the force chains are the two clutches, and for displacing the one movable component, the drive output element is movable beyond the displacement distance necessary for displacing the other movable component.
