A mold temperature adjusting apparatus is provided in which change-over timing of high temperature medium and low temperature medium is adjusted by a heat transmission delay in heating and cooling of a mold being taken into consideration, so that a cycle time of molding steps is shortened, a temperature deflection from a set temperature of the high temperature and low temperature medium is reduced, an energy loss is reduced and an optimal mold temperature for an injection step can be obtained. The mold temperature adjusting apparatus comprises a high temperature fluid tank and a low temperature fluid tank, a high temperature fluid supply system and a high temperature fluid return system between the mold and the high temperature fluid tank, a low temperature fluid supply system and a low temperature fluid return system between the mold and the low temperature fluid tank, a high temperature fluid by-pass system and a low temperature fluid by-pass system, a heat recovery tank connected to the high temperature fluid tank and a pressure adjusting means.

What is claimed is: 1. A mold temperature adjusting method in an injection molding step using a mold temperature adjusting apparatus (1) comprising a high temperature fluid tank (4) having a temperature adjusting means (33) adjusting temperature of a fluid to a set high temperature, a high temperature fluid supply system (41) having a high temperature fluid transfer pump (8) supplying the fluid of high temperature into a mold (2) from said high temperature fluid tank (4), a high temperature fluid return system (42) returning the fluid into said high temperature fluid tank (4) from said mold (2), a low temperature fluid tank (3) having a temperature adjusting means (32) adjusting temperature of the fluid to a set low temperature, a low temperature fluid supply system (31) having a low temperature fluid transfer pump (6, 7) supplying the fluid of low temperature into said mold (2) from said low temperature fluid tank (3) and a low temperature fluid return system (35) returning the fluid into said low temperature fluid tank (3) from said mold (2) so that a control of a mold temperature of said mold (2) is effected such that the fluid of high temperature from said high temperature fluid tank (4) and the fluid of low temperature from said low temperature fluid tank (3) are selectively changed over from one to the other to flow through a fluid passage provided in said mold (2), wherein said mold temperature adjusting apparatus (1) further comprises a high temperature fluid by-pass system (43) connecting said high temperature fluid supply system (41) and said high temperature fluid return system (42) to each other, a low temperature fluid by-pass system (40) connecting said low temperature fluid supply system (31) and said low temperature fluid return system (35) to each other, a heat recovery tank (5, 15, 25) having its upper portion connected to said high temperature fluid tank (4) and its lower portion connected to said low temperature fluid supply system (31) as well as having a means preventing the fluids of high temperature and low temperature from mixing with each other in said heat recovery tank (5, 15, 25) and a pressure adjusting system (37) connecting said heat recovery tank (5, 15, 25) and said low temperature fluid tank (3) to each other as well as having a pressure adjusting means (61), said injection molding step being of heating said mold (2) before filling a molten resin and cooling said mold (2) after filling the resin, wherein said mold temperature adjusting method comprises the steps of: by detecting a mold temperature T by a mold temperature sensor (62), previously setting a heating over-shooting temperature correction value ΔTH for a mold heating, a cooling under-shooting temperature correction value ΔTL for a mold cooling, a resin filling start mold temperature TH for starting a filling step, a mold opening start temperature TL, an over-shooting time S1 and an under-shooting time S2 as well as calculating a high temperature fluid stop temperature TH-ΔTH by subtracting the heating over-shooting temperature correction value ΔTH from the resin filling start mold temperature TH and calculating a low temperature fluid stop temperature TL+ΔTL by adding the cooling under-shooting temperature correction value ΔTL to the mold opening start temperature TL; supplying the fluid of high temperature into said mold (2) via said high temperature fluid supply system (41) as a mold heating step; stopping the supply of the fluid of high temperature when the mold temperature reaches the high temperature fluid stop temperature TH-ΔTH as well as opening the high temperature fluid by-pass system (43) during the over-shooting time S1 so as to cause the fluid of high temperature to by-pass before starting the filling step when the mold temperature T reaches the resin filling start mold temperature TH; closing the high temperature fluid by-pass system (43) after the over-shooting time S1 has passed as well as opening a passage connecting to said heat recovery tank (5, 15, 25) from said mold (2); supplying the fluid of low temperature into said mold (2) via the low temperature fluid supply system (31) so that the fluid of high temperature remaining in the fluid passage of said mold (2) is recovered into said heat recovery tank (5, 15, 25) via the high temperature fluid tank (4) as well as continuing a mold cooling step by supplying the fluid of low temperature into said mold (2) via the low temperature fluid supply system (31); stopping the supply of the fluid of low temperature into said mold (2) when the mold temperature T reaches the low temperature fluid stop temperature TL+ΔTL as well as opening the low temperature fluid by-pass system (40) during the under-shooting time S2 so as to cause the fluid of low temperature to by-pass; closing the low temperature fluid by-pass system (40) when the mold temperature T reaches the mold opening start temperature TL to thereby finish the mold cooling step; opening said mold (2) and taking out a molded article; after the under-shooting time S2 has passed, recovering the fluid of low temperature into said heat recovery tank (5, 15, 25) by pushing by the fluid of high temperature; and continuously supplying the fluid of high temperature into said mold (2) to thereby return to the mold heating step. 2. A mold temperature adjusting method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising the steps of: in the mold cooling step and in a replacement step replacing the fluid of high temperature with the fluid of low temperature, closing said low temperature fluid by-pass system (40) and in the mold heating step, opening said low temperature fluid by-pass system (40) as well as continuously operating said low temperature fluid transfer pump (6, 7): likewise, in the mold heating step and in a replacement step replacing the fluid of low temperature with the fluid of high temperature, closing said high temperature fluid by-pass system (43) and in the mold cooling step, opening said high temperature fluid by-pass system (43) as well as continuously operating said high temperature fluid transfer pump (8), so that temperatures of supply pipings and return pipings of both of the fluid of high temperature and the fluid of low temperature are maintained as well as the fluid of high temperature remaining in said mold (2) and the fluid of low temperature remaining in said mold (2) are recovered into said high temperature fluid tank (4) and said low temperature fluid tank (3), respectively. 3.
