Abstract

A joining member configured to join a temperature-controlled member and a temperature control jacket includes a temperature control jacket attachment part attached to the temperature control jacket, and a temperature-controlled member attachment part attached to the temperature-controlled member. The temperature control jacket attachment part includes a temperature control jacket-side opening into which a first bolt is insertable, and the temperature-controlled member attachment part includes a temperature-controlled member-side opening into which a second bolt is insertable. The temperature control jacket-side opening and/or the temperature-controlled member-side opening are configured to allow change in positions where the first and second bolts are inserted.

Claims

1. An injection molding machine comprising:

a temperature-controlled member;

a temperature control jacket that includes a flow channel or a cooling element and is removably placed on a peripheral part of the temperature-controlled member; and

a joining member configured to join the temperature-controlled member and the temperature control jacket, wherein

the joining member includes;

a temperature control jacket attachment part attached to the temperature control jacket; and

a temperature-controlled member attachment part attached to the temperature-controlled member,

the temperature control jacket attachment part includes a temperature control jacket-side opening into which a fixing member is insertable in order to join the joining member and the temperature control jacket,

the temperature-controlled member attachment part includes a temperature-controlled member-side opening into which the fixing member is insertable in order to join the joining member and the temperature-controlled member, and

at least one of the temperature control jacket-side opening and the temperature-controlled member-side opening is configured to allow change in a position where the fixing member is inserted in the opening.

2. The injection molding machine according to claim 1, further comprising

a temperature sensor in the temperature-controlled member, wherein

positions of the temperature control jacket and the temperature sensor are changeable by change in a position where the fixing member is inserted in at least one of the temperature control jacket-side opening and the temperature-controlled member-side opening.

3. The injection molding machine according to claim 1, wherein

the temperature control jacket-side opening or the temperature-controlled member-side opening is formed of at least one of a slot, a notch, and a round hole.

4. The injection molding machine according to claim 1, wherein

the joining member is L-shaped.

5. The injection molding machine according to claim 1, wherein

the joining member is block-shaped.

6. The injection molding machine according to claim 1, wherein

the temperature control jacket-side opening is placed in a curved fashion so as to fit in with the peripheral part of the temperature-controlled member.
