Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing resin containers.
- a neck mold fixed to a conveying mechanism constantly supports a preform or a container through the neck portion (neck portion) during molding. ing.
- the neck portion of the preform or container is strongly supported from the outside by the highly rigid neck mold, and the degree of engagement between the neck portion and the neck mold is also high. Therefore, it can be said that there is a relatively low risk of problems such as dropping of the container when it is released from the blow split mold.
- a 2-step type blow molding apparatus for example, Japanese Patent No. 5503748
- a 1.5-step type blow molding apparatus for example, Japanese Patent No. 6118529
- the entire neck of the preform is supported by a neck mold as in the 1-step blow molding machine.
- blow molding is not performed, but the preform is supported in a free state on the upper surface of the blow mold by the protruding portion (support ring or annular flange) of the neck portion.
- the protrusion of the neck may rub against the upper surface of the blow mold, and the lower surface of the protrusion may be scratched. If scratches are formed on the protrusion, the appearance of the container is deteriorated, and there is a possibility that transportation to the subsequent process may be hindered.
- One aspect of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a resin container having an undercut shape, comprising the steps of housing a preform in a cavity mold having an undercut portion, and inserting a core mold inside the preform. Then, blow air is introduced into the preform through the core mold to blow mold the preform into a container. It includes a step of sandwiching the neck of the container between the mold and the transfer chuck, and a step of opening the cavity mold. By opening the mold, the container whose neck is sandwiched between the core mold and the transfer chuck is released from the undercut.
- the released container when a container having an undercut shape is released from the blow split mold, the released container can be properly carried out.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing the transport of preforms in the injection molding section and the cooling section; 1 is a front view of a blow molded part and a container; FIG. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the support member in a closed state; FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the support member in an open state; It is a figure which shows the operation example of a blow-molding process.

- FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the transport of preforms in the injection molding section and the cooling section.
- FIG. 3 is a front view of the blow molding part and container.
- the resin container (hereinafter simply referred to as container 300) manufactured by the blow molding apparatus of the present embodiment has a large capacity (for example, 5 to 300 kg) used for containing mineral water, cooking oil, and the like. 20 liters, preferably 9 to 15 liters) container (eg back-in-box), manufactured by blow-molding a resin preform 200 to be described later.
- the overall shape of the container 300 is prismatic with rounded corners, and has a substantially rectangular cross section.
- the container 300 includes a neck portion 301 with an upper opening, a shoulder portion 302 connected below the neck portion 301, a trunk portion 303 connected below the shoulder portion 302, and a bottom portion 304 closing the lower end of the trunk portion 303.
- the neck portion 301 is formed with a cylindrical portion 201c having substantially the same diameter and a cylindrical portion 201c, and a flange (described later) projecting radially outward from the cylindrical portion 201c. Note that the neck portion 301 of the container 300 and the neck portion 201 of the preform 200 described later have the same shape.
- a plurality of convex ribs (convex ribs projecting in the outer diameter direction of the container) 305 are formed on the shoulder of the container 300 so as to protrude outward from the container 300 and extend linearly from the neck 301 toward the body 303 . It is Each convex rib 305 is radially arranged around the neck portion 301 and has a function of improving the rigidity of the container 300 by increasing the radial strength of the shoulder portion 302 .
- the material of the container 300 and the preform 200 is a thermoplastic synthetic resin, which can be appropriately selected according to the application of the container 300.
- specific types of materials include, for example, PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PEN (polyethylene naphthalate), PCTA (polycyclohexanedimethylene terephthalate), Tritan (Tritan (registered trademark): copolyester manufactured by Eastman Chemical Co.).

- the blow molding apparatus 100 of this embodiment executes a blow molding method called a 1.5-stage method, which has the advantages of both the hot parison method and the cold parison method, in order to manufacture the container 300 described above.
- a container is manufactured by blow-molding the preform 200 having the inherent heat at the time of injection molding, basically in the same manner as the hot parison method (1-stage method).
- the blow molding cycle in the 1.5 stage method is set shorter than the injection molding cycle of the preform 200 .
- a plurality of preforms 200 molded in one injection molding cycle are divided into a plurality of (for example, three) blow molding cycles and blow molded.
- the blow molding apparatus 100 includes an injection molding section 110 , a cooling section 120 , a heating section 130 and a blow molding section 140 .
- the blow molding apparatus 100 also includes a continuous transport section 150 that transports the preform 200 carried out from the cooling section 120 to the blow molding section 140 via the heating section 130 .
- the continuous transport section 150 continuously and repeatedly transports the transport jig 152 holding the preform 200 along a loop-shaped transport line 151 having a plurality of curved portions.
- the injection molding section 110 injection molds a preform 200 that is a resin molded product.

- FIG. 1 First, while the blow core mold 143 is waiting at the upper end position, the transport chuck 161 of the intermittent transport unit 160 transports the preform 200 to the position of the opening 141a of the blow cavity mold 141 in the mold open state. After that, the opening/closing mechanism 144 is driven to move the blow cavity mold 141 in the Y direction, and the mold is closed from the mold open state. Also, each support member 145 is already in the closed position. When the blow cavity mold 141 changes from the mold open state to the mold closed state, the neck support portion 145a of the support member 145 is arranged below the preform 200 as the blow cavity mold 141 moves.
- the transport chuck 161 holds the neck 201 of the preform 200 while the body 202 and bottom 203 of the preform 200 are housed in the blow cavity mold 141 .
- the support member 145 prevents the preform 200 from falling into the blow cavity mold 141 .
- the blow core mold 143 is retracted above the preform 200 and the bottom mold 142 is retracted below the blow cavity mold 141 .
- the blow core mold 143 is lowered to the intermediate position, and the inner core 143b is inserted into the preform 200 to the position of the transfer chuck 161 while the transfer chuck 161 is holding the neck 201 of the preform 200. state.
- the blow core mold 143 is further lowered to the lower end position, and the tip of the outer core 143a contacts the upper surface of the first flange 201a and/or the upper surface of the support member 145 (see FIG. 8).
- the transfer chuck 161 is retracted, the preform 200 descends and is placed on the upper surface of the support member 145.
- the preform 200 is placed in an incorrect posture (for example, an inclined position). Posture) can be suppressed.
- a stretch rod 148 is then inserted into the preform 200, as shown in FIG. After that, the stretching rod 148 descends and its tip (abutting portion 148a) is pressed against the bottom portion 203 of the preform 200, and the preform 200 is longitudinally stretched.
- the preform 200 is horizontally stretched by supplying blow air from the inner core 143b.
- the preform 200 is swelled and shaped so as to adhere to the mold surface of the blow cavity mold 141 , and is blow-molded into the container 300 .
- the bottom mold 142 is controlled to wait at a lower position where it does not come into contact with the bottom portion 203 of the preform 200 before closing the mold, and to rise quickly to the molding position before blow molding starts after closing the mold.
- the stretching rod 148 retracts upward and the blow core die 143 rises to the intermediate position.
- the outer periphery of the neck portion 301 of the container 300 is exposed to the outside, and the inner core 143b is inserted halfway into the neck portion of the container 300 .
- the conveying chuck 161 again grips the outer circumference of the portion of the neck 301 of the container 300 where the inner core 143b is inserted.
- the transport chuck 161 grips the neck 301 so that the container 300 can move downward by the amount of the movement margin described later.
- the transfer chuck 161 has a retaining portion 161a protruding inward on the lower end side. The retaining portion 161a prevents the container 300 from falling downward by interfering with a projection (for example, a screw) of the neck portion 301 .
- the inner circumference of the neck portion of the container 300 can come into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the inner core 143b, and movement in the horizontal direction (XY direction) is restricted. .
- the outer periphery of the neck portion of the container 300 is gripped from the outside by the transfer chuck 161 . Therefore, the neck portion 301 of the container 300 is sandwiched between the inner core 143b on the inner peripheral side and the transfer chuck 161 on the outer peripheral side.
- the neck 301 of the container 300 is less likely to be displaced by a force from the planar direction (XY direction) orthogonal to the axial direction of the container 300 (that is, the neck 301 is less likely to tilt).
- each support member 145 of the blow cavity mold 141 slides from the closed position to the open position. As a result, the support of the container 300 by the support member 145 is released. Also, a gap (movement margin) corresponding to the thickness of the retracted support member 145 is formed between the lower side of the first flange 201 a and the blow cavity mold 141 .
- the carrier chuck 161 allows the container 300 to move downward, and the receiving groove 141b of the blow cavity mold 141 also allows the position of the second flange 201b to move downward. Therefore, the container 300 gripped by the carrier chuck 161 can be lowered by the amount of movement.
- the blow-molded container 300 shrinks after shaping due to exhaust or temperature drop, and a certain amount of gap is generated on the bottom side of the container 300 . Therefore, even if the container 300 descends by the movement margin, the bottom surface side of the blow cavity mold 141 does not interfere with the container 300 .
- the container 300 can be lowered by the amount of movement. Then, when the container 300 descends, the convex rib 305 of the container 300 is pulled away from the undercut portion 141c.
- the transfer chuck 161 allows the container 300 to descend, but has a retaining portion 161a that prevents the container 300 from falling off. Also, when the container 300 descends before the mold is opened, the first flange 201a contacts the upper surface of the blow cavity mold 141, the second flange 201b contacts the receiving groove 141b, and the container 300 does not descend any further. Therefore, the downward dropping of the container 300 is suppressed by the retaining portion 161a, the first flange 201a, and the second flange 201b.
- the opening and closing mechanism 144 is driven to move the blow cavity mold 141 in the Y direction to open the mold, as indicated by the arrow OP in FIG.
- the mold surface of the blow cavity mold 141 has an undercut portion 141c corresponding to the convex rib 305, and the convex rib 305 of the container 300 enters the undercut portion 141c when the mold is closed.
- the convex rib 305 is forced out from the undercut portion 141c.
- the neck portion 301 of the container 300 is sandwiched and supported by the inner core 143b on the inner peripheral side and the transfer chuck 161 on the outer peripheral side, and movement in the XY directions is restricted.
- the neck portion 301 of the container 300 supported by the inner core 143b and the transfer chuck 161 becomes a large resistance to the force in the mold opening direction and receives a reaction force.
- the container 300 can be peeled off from the blow cavity mold 141 to be demolded. Therefore, the event that the container 300 cannot be carried out without being released from the blow cavity mold 141 is suppressed.
- the container 300 is lowered by the movement margin, and the convex rib 305 of the container 300 separates from the mold surface of the undercut portion 141c as described above. As a result, the projecting rib 305 is not forced to be pulled out, so that the container 300 can be released from the blow cavity mold 141 more easily.
- the container 300 may not be lowered sufficiently when the support member 145 is moved to the open position.
- the projecting rib 305 hits the mold surface of the blow cavity mold 141, and vibration is applied to the container 300 in the vertical and horizontal directions.
- the container 300 descends by the amount of movement due to the above vibration, and the projecting rib 305 of the container 300 separates from the mold surface of the undercut portion 141c. Therefore, even in this case, the projecting rib 305 can be prevented from being forced out.
- the transport chuck 161 allows the container 300 to descend due to vibration
- the retaining portion 161a prevents the container 300 from dropping downward due to vibration and being unable to be carried out.
- the neck 301 of the container 300 is sandwiched between the inner core 143b and the transfer chuck 161, the container 300 released from the blow cavity mold 141 is less likely to shake in the planar direction (XY direction) perpendicular to the axial direction. Therefore, it is also suppressed that the container 300 comes into contact with the blow cavity mold 141 after the mold is opened and falls off.
- the blow core mold 143 is retracted upward, and the inner core 143b is pulled out from the neck portion 301 of the container 300. Then, the container 300 is transported to the take-out position P3 outside the blow molding section 140 by the transport chuck 161 and taken out. This completes the description of the blow molding process in the blow molding section 140 .
- the container 300 having the undercut-shaped convex ribs 305 is manufactured.
- a preform 200 is accommodated in a blow cavity mold 141 having an undercut portion 141 c , and a blow core mold 143 is inserted inside the preform 200 .
- blow air is introduced into the preform 200 through the blow core mold 143 to blow mold the preform 200 into the container 300 .
- the neck 301 of the container 300 with the blow core mold 143 arranged inside is gripped from the outside by the transfer chuck 161 , and the neck 301 of the container 300 is sandwiched between the blow core mold 143 and the transfer chuck 161 .
- the blow cavity mold 141 is opened, the container 300 with the neck portion 301 sandwiched between the blow core mold 143 and the transfer chuck 161 is separated from the undercut portion 141c.
- the neck portion 301 is sandwiched between the blow core mold 143 and the transfer chuck 161, and the container 300 is released from the mold. can be done. Further, since the container 300 with the neck portion 301 sandwiched between the blow core mold 143 and the transfer chuck 161 is less likely to shake, it is less likely to fall off the transfer chuck 161 . Therefore, according to the configuration of this embodiment, the container 300 can be properly carried out from the blow molding section 140 . In addition, in the configuration of this embodiment, it is not necessary to use a split mold having a movable insert, so it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the mold.
- the lower surface of the second flange 201b of the neck portion 301 and the receiving groove portion 141b of the blow mold 143 (or the lower surface of the first flange 201a and the blow mold 143) upper surface) can be reduced or eliminated. Therefore, even in a 1.5-step type or a 2-step type blow molding apparatus that blow-molds a container while holding a part of the neck portion 301 of the preform 200 in the blow cavity mold 141, the protrusion of the neck portion 301 Scratches on (support ring, annular flange, etc.) can be suppressed.

Abstract
Description
実施形態では説明を分かり易くするため、本発明の主要部以外の構造や要素については、簡略化または省略して説明する。また、図面において、同じ要素には同じ符号を付す。なお、図面に示す各要素の形状、寸法などは模式的に示したもので、実際の形状、寸法などを示すものではない。
また、ブロー成形装置100は、冷却部120から搬出されたプリフォーム200を、加熱部130を経由してブロー成形部140に搬送する連続搬送部150を備えている。連続搬送部150は、複数の湾曲部を有するループ状の搬送ライン151に沿って、プリフォーム200を保持する搬送治具152を連続的に繰り返し搬送する。
射出成形部110は、図2に示すように、上方に配されたコア型111と、下方に配されたキャビティ型112と、タイバー113によりコア型111およびキャビティ型112を型締めする型締め機構114を備えている。射出成形部110は、コア型111およびキャビティ型112で形成される射出空間内に射出装置(不図示)から樹脂材料(原材料)を充填することでプリフォーム200を射出成形する。
受け取り部115は、コア型111の下側の受け取り位置(タイバー113で囲まれた空間)よりも外側の受け渡し位置まで、水平方向(図中X方向)に移動可能に構成されている。
間欠搬送部160は、加熱部130によって加熱された複数のプリフォーム200を保持してブロー成形部140に間欠的に搬送する。受渡部170は、連続搬送部150によって連続搬送されたプリフォーム200を搬送ライン151から間欠搬送部160に受け渡す。
ブロー成形部140は、ブロー型ユニット140aを備える。ブロー型ユニット140aは、一対のブローキャビティ割型1411、1412で構成されるブローキャビティ型141(キャビティ金型)と、底型142と、後述する型開閉機構144に連結される一対のブロー型固定板149(1491、1492)と、を少なくとも備える。ブロー型ユニット140aは、さらに、エア導入部材であるブローコア型143を備える。一つのブロー型固定板1491(1492)には複数(例えば3つまたは4つ)のブローキャビティ割型1411(1412)が固定されているため、一対のブロー型固定板149には複数(例えば3つまたは4つ)のブローキャビティ型141が設けられている。
まず、ブローコア型143が上端位置で待機している状態で、間欠搬送部160の搬送チャック161により、型開状態のブローキャビティ型141の開口部141aの位置にプリフォーム200が搬送される。その後、開閉機構144の駆動によりブローキャビティ型141がY方向に移動して型開状態から型閉状態となる。また、各々の支持部材145は予め閉位置にある。ブローキャビティ型141が型開状態から型閉状態になると、支持部材145のネック支持部145aは、ブローキャビティ型141の移動に伴ってプリフォーム200の下側に配置される。
図12は、第1の変形例のブロー成形部140の構成例を示す図である。以下の説明では、実施形態のブロー成形部140と共通の要素には、同じ符号を付して重複説明はいずれも省略する。なお、第1の変形例は、ブローキャビティ型141(またはブローキャビティ割型1411、1412)と移動しろの有無以外の構成は実施形態と同じである。
また、首部301のフランジのキズを防止する他の手法として、型閉時に支持部材145が首部301のフランジを受ける構成とし、ブローキャビティ型141の型開きの前に支持部材145を首部301の周囲から退避させてもよい。
