摘要 |
The invention relates to a device for charging the plasticizing unit of an injection-moulding machine, in which a filler support (10) comprising a stuffing cylinder (12), which is held by its upper rim in a retaining flange (13), is fixed to the screw cylinder (6). The upper rim of the stuffing cylinder (12), the retaining flange (13) and a brace plate (15), which is fixed to said retaining flange (13), share the same plane. Supporting pillars (16), which bear two mutually parallel displacement rails (17), are fixed to the retaining flange (13). A support plate (19) can be displaced on these displacement rails (17) between two positions, using sliding blocks (18). The support plate (19) bears a stuffing ram (22) comprising a hydraulic cylinder (20) and a storage container (21). A hydraulic control cylinder (23) allows the stuffing ram (22) and the storage container (21) to be alternately aligned flush with the stuffing cylinder (12). The invention aims to improve the access to the filler support (10) for cleaning during a material change. To achieve this, the stuffing cylinder (12) is coupled to the stuffing ram (22) and is raised upwards, allowing free access to the through channel which is located in the filler support (10). |
