Description

Plastic material is transferred to the equipment and the method for plasticator
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method and apparatus that is used to process quantitatively or becomes the flowable materials of dosage.The present invention be more particularly directed to a kind of method and apparatus that obtains product in the quantitative plastics of compression moulding that is used in, described product is the performing member of container for example, for example is used for the performing member of bottle.
An aspect of of the present present invention relates to when compression molding forming polymeric material product, a kind of being used for is in method and apparatus in the die cavity that the dosage body of the polymeric material of viscous liquid state more or less shifted or be inserted into mould machine with what the outlet of the distribution by at least one polymeric material distributed, and this mould machine has and continues the turntable that rotates.Another aspect of the present invention relates to when the compression molding forming plastic product, is used to transport the method and the corresponding device of the polymeric material body of the more or less viscous liquid state in the die cavity that will be transferred to mould machine.
It is to realize by move punch die (male mold part) with respect to this hollow mould in hollow mould (former part) that compression moulding comes formed product.By pressure punch die is inserted in the hollow mould, in hollow mould, has been placed with the more or less dosage body of viscous liquid polymers material (particularly thermoplastic resin).An application-specific of the present invention is the performing member that is formed for plastic bottle manufacturing subsequently (normally by stretching-blowing).Yet, can be different application and can be varied.
The performing member that is used to make bottle etc. generally includes the top bottleneck with projection and the ducted body of bottleneck below, and ducted body is smooth and axial elongation basically.
Background technology
Usually, traditional mould machine of making the polymeric material product by compression molding forming comprises the turntable that is loaded with a plurality of moulds and a plurality of punch dies of position correspondence thereon.Turntable can be continuously and rotation intermittently.
Turntable rotates around vertical axis, revolution once, each mould receives the quantitatively plastic body of (dosage), plastic body is heated to desired temperature so that make plastics that enough flowabilities be arranged.Next along with punch die and mould mutually near (up to closing molding), this dosage experience pressurized stage.Passing through the given time afterwards, is to open mould and take performing member away from this machine after this stage.
Extrusion device and mould machine associating, it discharges the more or less polymeric material of some viscous fluid.This material is divided into the amount of composition (dosage), and it then is transferred in the die cavity of machine.
If the dosage body (dosage) of polymeric material has relatively little quality, be well known that by transfer device it transferred in the mould of rotary machine that wherein moving meter moves along the figures order with suitable moving meter (being called " hand ").Along this route, moving meter is subordinated to the fixed allocation outlet of the extrusion equipment of polymeric material and takes this dosage away, and in the tangent and stacked position of this route and mould route it is discharged.
This release must be stacked on the die cavity and with its coaxial moment at moving meter and realize in very fast mode.This is reality just under the situation of the dosage of relatively little quality only, for example is suitable for forming the dosage of the valve protection cap of bottle cap shape, and valve protection cap is used to close the common plastic bottle that is used for mineral water or other soda.
On the other hand, the polymeric material product that has big quality if must be shaped, PET (polyethyleneterephthalate) performing member for example, utilize its to produce (by known stretching-blow molding operation) plastic bottles commonly used in the market, then the dosage body of polymeric material being loaded in the mould is unusual complicated operations.
In fact, in this case, in almost instantaneous mode dosage being transferred to from moving meter almost is impossible in the die cavity, because dosage has big relatively length, needs time enough to realize this transfer process thus.In disclosed traditional transfer device, can not get this time.
In order to overcome this defective, a kind of mould machine (patent application WO03/047834) has been proposed, wherein dosage is discharged by the distributor with a plurality of distribution outlets, and the distribution outlet can be mobile in proper order along circular horizontal path.Mould is not to move along simple figures, but with respect to turntable along radially having good travelling performance, therefore can deviate from traditional figures, distribute along dosage outlet other figures one section specific arc and move.Thus, for the specific part of route (therefore be the specific time), distribute outlet coaxial and be positioned at its top, distribute the motion that exports consistent with the latter's motion with die cavity.
Yet the shortcoming of disclosed scheme is the complexity and the construction cost of corresponding mould machine among the above-mentioned WO03/047834.According to the machine of WO03/047834 no matter be for general very many modulus amounts, the many operations that still will carry out, or desirable high service speed for, in fact all very complicated.At last, mould requires point-device location and requires them is movably with respect to turntable, therefore makes their location complicated.
And, in proposed scheme,, even may not realize the mould motion and distribute exporting the appropriate identity property of moving in shared portion, although this is essential based on the radial motion of mould.In fact, the circular velocity of mould changes along with the variation of its radial position, yet this can not occur for distributing outlet, is constant because distribute the radial position of outlet.As a result, in described shared portion, distribute outlet not keep coaxial, so the transfer of dosage can not be correct with the die cavity that is positioned at the below; In fact, if the diameter of dosage approaches the minimum diameter in chamber, even can not realize shifting.
Because the device multi-form and essence of execution dosage transfer operation inevitably has and is in the surface that liquid sticking polymeric material body contacts, this makes above-mentioned disclosed shortcoming more serious.
Because the physical state of polymeric material dosage (when it is PET, when the temperature more than 200 ℃, more or less being viscous fluid usually), dosage is bonded on the surface of the device that it contacted easily, and this is another shortcoming of prior art.
Above-mentioned disclosed bond effect has inevitably hindered the motion of polymeric material body, has produced serious defective, particularly under its situation about just moving by gravity.For example, if condensate must be along the surface of following it in gravity effect current downflow, it is bonded to the motion that this trend on this surface will hold it back, to such an extent as to the operation that is provided can not realize.
Perhaps, if dosage drops in the die cavity, dosage will be bonded on the wall of chamber, particularly when the chamber has narrow and dark relatively shape.If this situation takes place, dosage can not be positioned in the die cavity in correct mode.For example, if the dosage condensate has big volume for cavity volume, danger close be that condensate will reach more than the chamber, make can not close mold closing in the stage by punch die compression.
Particularly be used for the process of performing member that capacity is not less than 1 liter bottle in shaping, die cavity has shape narrow relatively and elongation.Therefore before arriving the bottom, the dosage in the whereabouts has the sidewall in very high risk contact chamber.
Because dosage falls when mould continue to move along figures and moves with higher speed, the shortcoming that the surface that makes above-mentioned disclosed dosage be contacted with it bonds is aggravated greatly.In fact, because the centrifugal action that is suffered, condensate is pulled on the sidewall in chamber.
Should be noted in the discussion above that when transferring to the dosage of relatively little quality in the die cavity because they are spherical in shape substantially, so dosage will stand rotation or rolling.On the other hand when dosage has the shape of big relatively quality and relative complex, as when the shaping of PET performing member, necessary is that dosage is placed in the die cavity usually, the longitudinal axis that makes them according to predetermined towards setting.
And, produce the effective heat transmission that is confined to contact area between the surface that is contacted in dosage and it, and therefore changed the rule of polymeric calorific value, the distribution of homogeneous basically.Especially, be that local temperature descends although can produce excessive easily, make micro-crystallization or the little curing that produces polymeric material.Produce the scrambling of nucleus in the polymeric material thus, next in finished product, will produce inhomogeneities and defective.
Another defective of prior art is relevant with the mode that the discharge areas that the moving meter of transfer device exports from distribution is taken dosage away.
Each moving meter all has the spill contact-making surface in fact usually, and the one side opening is suitable for immediately it being impacted after dosage is assigned with outlet release, promotes it and guides it so that it is transferred in the die cavity in its decline process with horizontal component.Yet because the impact between dosage and the moving meter, the rebound phenomenon of dosage on contact surface taken place.Dosage reaches far away outside the moving meter as a result, has perhaps occupied on the concave surface of moving meter for disadvantageous position, follow-up whereabouts.
In addition, be suitable for cutting from the cutter sweep that distributes the polymeric material effluent that outlet flows out and unite with transfer device usually, make with moment fractionated dose before moving meter contacts.Cutter sweep can comprise, for example, a plurality of blades, each blade all is fixed to accordingly and transports on the element.
In cutting operation process, to the dosage applied thrust, similar to foregoing impact to contact surface, this thrust can make dosage away from moving meter to blade, perhaps causes the very poor location of dosage with horizontal component.
If when dosage had very big quality and particularly has long relatively form, this defective was just obvious especially.
Another shortcoming of prior art is that known cutter sweep has quite complicated structure.In fact, provide the blade with the number of moving meter, each blade all must correct being assembled on the moving meter, and when its excessive wear it is sharpened or replace.

-after described transfer position receives described doses, limit the shape that is suitable for described doses;
It is characterized in that: in described transfer process, to described dosage shaping, to obtain the prefabrication of described shape by described dosage.
In one embodiment, in the inner chamber of transfer chamber, the shape of the fluent material (can be plastics especially) of doses and size are carried out geometry and regulate, be inserted in the die cavity so that this doses next can be correct.
Especially, the transfer chamber is provided with the inner chamber that is laterally limited by cylindrical side, and its lateral dimension is not more than the smallest lateral dimension of the entrance area that enters into die cavity.
Doses can be inserted in the transfer chamber with the shape of the cavity shape that is different from the chamber, and can carry out profile by the transfer chamber and regulate.In other words, this certain dosage will tend to be the consistent shape of side surface shape with the inner chamber that limits the transfer chamber.It is viscosity (it is the type of the function of the inherent feature of polymeric material, particularly polymeric material and the function of molecular weight), temperature and the time in the transfer chamber of depending on material that this doses tends to meet transfer chamber's cavity shape.
In addition, " modelling " certain dosage by this way in a kind of modification makes this dosage be predetermined shape with the fluid that is transported to by utilization in the transfer chamber.
When next discharging this certain dosage in die cavity, this certain dosage shaping does not by this way contact with the sidewall of die cavity in the process of whereabouts so that it can be inserted in the chamber in.Even come in contact between the sidewall of certain dosage and die cavity, this contact also is unlikely to hinder the whereabouts and the correct location of the latter in mould of this doses.
Darker relatively or narrow at die cavity with respect to the quality of doses, and/or under the comparatively faster situation of the service speed of equipment, this advantageous particularly.
And because the shape adjustment device, the transfer of the doses from the transfer chamber to the die cavity can very fast realization, to such an extent as to can no longer need the auxiliary section according to the route of first three aspect of the present invention.In this auxiliary section, each transfer chamber all with die cavity coaxial and be positioned at its top.The device of the bonding between the inside contact surface that reduces doses and transfer chamber that is suitable for completely or partially can also be set.
In a word, since the of the present invention the 5th and the 6th aspect, the very fast and rule of the transfer of the doses from the transfer device to the building mortion.And, transport the device and the contact between the doses itself of doses and avoided or obtain at least restriction.This has just reduced doses and has been bonded on the acting surface that it contacts and doses will self be arranged on the risk of inappropriate position.
The shape adjustment device also makes the shape of doses can be suitable for best molding, can obtain having the product of optimum physical and chemical feature thus.
For example have been found that the shape that makes doses conforms to as far as possible with the die cavity that it will insert, and just can obtain best result like this with regard to the quality of production product.On the other hand, if doses has the shape that the shape in the chamber of inserting with it differs greatly, in the compression moulding process, the local deformation that doses will be harmful to will obtain the relatively poor product of physics and chemical quality.
A seventh aspect of the present invention, a kind of equipment is provided, comprises: transfer device is used for the fluent material doses from taking position transfer away to transfer position, it is characterized in that: anti-bonding device and the associating of described transfer device are used to prevent that described doses obviously is bonded to described transfer device.
Because a seventh aspect of the present invention, the contact between transfer device and the doses is avoided or is minimized at least, and the use that the result has overcome above-mentioned shortcoming and those inapplicable apparatus and method also becomes possibility.
Especially, realized the more accurate localization of doses, this just feasible especially compression moulding technology for all application is improved.
In one embodiment, anti-bonding device comprises: feedway is used to form the fluid layer between the action face that is inserted into the transfer device that contacts with doses.Fluid layer has such feature, that is: it is all or part of reduces bonding between doses and the action face.
Especially, fluid is a gas, particularly air.Yet, also can use different gas, for example nitrogen, carbon dioxide or other gas.
Send fluid by this way and form fluid layer by passing the part that action face is set on the transfer device, that is: fluid flows out from this surface and distributes on this surface.For this reason, the passage that has distribution on the part of transfer device of acting surface is set, fluid passes these passages supplies and flows out.These passages are less relatively, One's name is legion, and are distributed on the acting surface.
In one embodiment, acting surface is arranged on the wall that is made of porous materials, so that fluid passes.Charging gear is applied to porous wall, and charging gear is suitable for carrying by this way fluid, promptly passes porous wall when fluid when acting surface comes out.
As substituting of porous material wall, the wall that non-porous material is made can be set, have a large amount of duck eyes above it, it has realized that fluid passes, on the zone that described hole is distributed in doses contacts.For example, these holes can have spiral and distribute and realize maximum covering to acting surface.
According to a selection, the porous material wall is replaced by the wall of being made by a plurality of elements that are stitched together, and what make that they form a plurality of relative thin forms and be distributed in separator bar on the acting surface with suitable manner.Fluid is by these opening circulations.
Have been found that, having enough pressure by insertion between contact surface and condensate (changes according to different application with flow speed value, it is measurable utilizing corresponding apparatus in any case) fluid layer, just may be fully or be reduced to latter's adhesion in the practice and be not adhered to the degree of acting surface to the bond effect with doses of small part.
In fact, by the fluid layer that formation has suitable flow velocity and force value (less usually, one or several crust is enough to), in fact avoided the contact between doses and the acting surface.If yet having produced contact, it all is confined to some place and limited time.Thus, test has shown by being limited to low relatively numerical value the time of contact between doses and the acting surface, can obtain corresponding limited macroscopical bond effect; If tack time only is several microseconds, the bond effect of macroscopic view is zero no better than.
This phenomenon can be explained by the following fact: in order to reach bond effect, require to be not less than time of contact a value (reaction time), so that chemistry-physical bond power can tell on.This reaction time is the function of material, temperature and local pressure.This process of interruption that fluid is continuous makes identical bonding does not take place; Perhaps even fully avoid all contacts.
By the fluid of carrying between doses and acting surface is carried out thermal conditioning, above-mentioned disclosedly be further strengthened by the effect that fluid layer produced specifically regulated by this way, promptly reduces the surface of doses and/or the temperature of acting surface.
By flowing through wall or being the surface of contact action face and doses, the fluid of cooling has reduced its temperature at least outwardly, has increased the viscosity of doses thus, has reduced the caking property of fluent material like this.In fact, have been found that the temperature that then must reduce wall prevents bonding if increase (from the microsecond to the millisecond) time of contact.
Disclosed in the above action face is under the situation on the wall that is made of porous materials, if perhaps fluid passes narrow relatively opening, because the expansion when passing wall and leaving makes fluid self have " cooling effect ".The cooling effect of fluid is different from fully by contacting resulting effect with the relative long physics of the action face of the transfer device of doses.In fact, in the previous case, have the but chilly of a kind of top layer that only influences doses, and it is distributed to whole surface in the mode of rule and homogeneous.On the other hand, under the situation about when not having fluid, contacting between doses and the transfer device, has the strong and dark relatively cooling effect in the relative fraction that is limited in the doses, for formed product brings harmful result.
And fluid has been avoided in the hole on the polymeric material seeping face or in other opening.
In another embodiment, in order to reduce bonding, acting surface produces vibration by suitable device (for example applicator (sonotrode)).
Test has been found that, (they are different and different along with using with intensity level with suitable frequency by making acting surface, but be easy to examine) vibration, just may be fully or to small part reduce the bond effect of doses to the acting surface, make in the reality doses adhesion and be not bonded to acting surface.The explanation of this phenomenon is: the local detachment that has produced the adhesiving effect of doses and produce thereupon in each vibration cycles process, because it is very short that doses is bonded to the time interval of acting surface, just avoided the macroscopic view bonding of doses to acting surface.
And, can suppose that vibration has formed the pressure wave system, it is as the Compressed Gas that inserts between acting surface and the doses, and is similar to the Compressed Gas layer.
In another embodiment, anti-bonding device comprises by compare the acting surface coating of the material formation with anti-stick performance with doses.
A eighth aspect of the present invention, a kind of equipment is provided, comprise: transfer device, it has the doses that is used for fluent material from taking the recess of position transfer to transfer position away, it is characterized in that: it also comprises restraint device, and itself and described transfer device interact so that described doses is constrained in the described recess.
In one embodiment, transfer device comprises a plurality of elements that transport, and each all has contact surface, and it is suitable for promoting doses and guide the latter in dropping process with horizontal component.Transport element and move, so that impact and remove doses along the closed path that the discharging area with the distribution of fluent material outlet intersects.
Each transports element and holding device or restraint device associating, and holding device or restraint device are suitable for limiting the partially enclosed at least zone that the doses level can be remained on inside with contact surface.Also be provided with and be suitable for to drive the device of holding device with the action that distributes outlet and each mode of transporting the synchronized movement of element, it carries out by this way, that is: greatly be assigned with the moment that outlet discharges about condensate and close the zone that is used to keep doses substantially.
Each contact surface that transports element can be the concave surface of a side opening.Each holding device is suitable for the recess that each transports element of closing to small part.
Because a eighth aspect of the present invention, when transfer device be in remove doses take the position away the time, this dosage is closed in the recess of transfer device by restraint device.As a result, even even because resilience that the impact between doses and the transfer device produces and/or the thrust that applies by cutter sweep, this doses can not come out from the recess of transfer device.On the contrary, this doses in transfer device, is used for transferring to subsequently transfer position with correct fixed-site.
A ninth aspect of the present invention provides a kind of equipment, and it comprises: building mortion is used for the doses of compression moulding plastics; Insert device, its axis extension along the longitudinal, be used for the doses of described plastics is transferred in the cavity device of described building mortion, the described insertion device shape and size of axis along the longitudinal is adapted such that described insertion device can inject in the described cavity device and is used to discharge described doses.
This insertion device can comprise the pipeline that is used for doses, its be tubulose and be provided with inlet with the outlet of distributor associating.Pipeline its bottom at least inserts in the die cavity, and the insertion amount is the quite long part of the axial length of this pipeline.Doses pass that pipeline falls and then the outlet by pipeline in die cavity, discharge.
Because this inserts device, doses has been avoided and the contacting of the sidewall of building mortion.Doses inserts device by this and discharges at the bottom section of building mortion by this way, even that is: doses contacts with the sidewall of building mortion, this doses occupies enough position accurately in building mortion.
A tenth aspect of the present invention provides a kind of equipment, comprising: building mortion is used for the doses of compression moulding plastics; Extrusion device is used to extrude described plastics; Cutter sweep is used for described doses and described extrusion device are separated; It is characterized in that: described cutter sweep comprises single cutting element.
Because a tenth aspect of the present invention may obtain a kind of equipment with very simple structure, it makes doses to separate with extrusion device.Owing to adopt single cutting element, the installation of the cutter sweep on the equipment and maintain simple to operate the change.
A eleventh aspect of the present invention provides a kind of equipment, and it comprises: transfer device is used for doses with fluent material from taking position transfer away to transfer position; Cutter sweep is used for cutting apart described doses from distributor; It is characterized in that: be provided with engagement device, it is relative with described cutter sweep that described engagement device is set to, so that interact with described doses.
Because this aspect of the present invention may be cut apart doses with clean and effective and efficient manner from conveying device.In fact this engagement device has prevented that the doses device to be cut from drawing away from transfer device.
And even when doses is subjected to the impact of transfer device, this engagement device keeps doses near this transfer device.This has just guaranteed that the doses correct positioning is in described transfer device.
A twelveth aspect of the present invention, a kind of equipment is provided, it comprises: transfer device, be used for doses with fluent material from taking position transfer away to transfer position, described transfer device comprises first transfer device that mainly moves in first aspect, it is characterized in that: described transfer device comprises second transfer device, is used for described doses is transported to described first transfer device, and described second transfer device mainly moves on second aspect.

In the 4th embodiment of the arm assembly shown in Fig. 9 and 10 41, each arm assembly 41 comprises element or arm 41d, and it is supported by rotational support body 46, and is limited on the latter by the restraint device with single free degree.Especially, each element 41d has corresponding transfer chamber 50 at its outer end place, and element 41d is connected with short tube or sleeve 461 on being fixed to rotational support body 46 in the mode of prism, and arm 41d can endwisely slip with respect to short tube or sleeve 461.Alternatively, arm 41d can still pivot by the restraint device with single free degree and be connected on the rotational support body 46.Single trapped orbit 45D is set to act on the slave unit 42d, free pulley for example, and it is arranged on the element 41d by this way, clearly defines the route P2 of transfer chamber 50 and moving along this route in the revolution process of supporter 46 that is:.
The route of design track 45A that just might be suitable by this way, 45B, 45C, 45D is even route P2 subsequently (50 by delivery (Fig. 3,5,7 and 9) continuously along this route transfer chamber) has the T1 part with the figures P3 coupling of mould.Along above-mentioned T1 part, each transfer chamber 50 is roughly coaxial and on it, the motion of each transfer chamber 50 and the latter's motion are complementary with the cavity of above-mentioned mould 21.Along this T1 part, then carry out dose of polymer D from the chamber 50 cavitys of transferring to mould 21.
By appropriate length partly being provided for T1, wherein because the uniformity of the motion in this T1 part, route P2 and route P3 are complementary, can obtain relative to the long time (depending on speed and coupling T1 length partly that molding apparatus 20 rotates), in during this period of time, every doses D can be transferred in the cavity of mould, and transfer chamber 50 remains on the top, and is coaxial accurately with the latter.
For purposes provided by the present invention, also can use arm assembly or mechanism 41 inequality with above-mentioned disclosure but other type that with regard to the mode of operation that can obtain from spirit of the present invention and dynamic effect, be equal to the latter.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1-10, the route P3 of mould 21 is circular, so compatible portion T1 also is circular.But route P3 can form difformity.For example, it can have straight part, also limits the T1 part along it.In this case, the centrifugal thrust that acts on the dose of polymer does not have or does not almost have.
Equipment of the present invention provides and has been suitable for dose of polymer D is transferred to second transfer device of transfer chamber 50 from distributing outlet 11.As what taken place among embodiment shown in the earlier drawings and the hereinafter disclosed embodiment, make its displacement by the fixing point (distributing outlet 11) of discharging from dose of polymer, and utilize the motion with horizontal component that they are transferred to transfer chamber 50, this transfer device can be suitable for mobile dose of polymer.Alternatively, might be only by dose of polymer D from the fixed allocation mouth directly to the transfer chamber 50 vertical whereabouts realize this transfer.In this case, element with the outlet associating is set, for example promote and cut the piston of extruded material, blade of one or more cutting extruded materials or the like, they make dose of polymer be removed from distributing outlet, and utilize gravity or other factors (for example promoting by compressed air) to drop in the transfer chamber below outlet.
Arrive embodiment shown in Figure 16 according to Fig. 1, for dose of polymer D is transferred to transfer chamber 50 from distributing outlet 11, be provided with second transfer device or second transfer device 30 of rotation, it has the conveyer or second transfer device 31 of a plurality of lasting rotations.Each second transfer device 31 has concave inside surface 32b, and the cross section that opens wide in a side that it has " U " shape is used for contacting with dose of polymer D.Surface 32b extends axially and setting by this way along vertical substantially axis, promptly limits a groove, and it opens wide also and can follow dose of polymer D by making dose of polymer D flow to contact with surperficial 32b in a side.
Second transfer device 30 has and is suitable for the mobile device of sequential operation conveyer 31 by this way, promptly by relatively moving in the horizontal, the latter shifts from distributing dose of plastics D that outlet 11 distributes and dose of plastics D being arranged in the transfer chamber 50 in every next mode.
Shown in Figure 17-20, described mobile device comprises circular support body 36, it is arranged on the horizontal plane, (axle 361 of perhaps going the long way round from axle 47 rotates around rotating with the coaxial vertical axes of the axle 47 of the supporter 46 with fixed axis in a synchronous manner with mould machine, situation as shown in Figure 7), on the periphery of supporter 36, be fixed with conveyer 31.Conveyer 31 is arranged so that open side tangentially the rotating forward with respect to rotation direction of surperficial 32b.
The route P4 that concave inside contact surface 32b forms extends on horizontal plane, be arranged on the short distance of distributing below the outlet 11 (but be enough to avoid to the squeeze-up M lower end that falls from outlet impact), so that the upper end of concave inside contact surface 32b process below outlet 11 is plugged with blade 13 there.And described route P4 is positioned at the distance of the weak point in route P2 top of 50 belows, chamber, makes the lower end of concave inside contact surface 32b move the upper end of brushing chamber 50.
The route P4 that mechanism 31 is followed is circular and has in Fig. 3,5,7 and 9 with the part shown in the T2 that the route P2 of this part T2 and transfer chamber 50 is complementary.When this T2 part, each conveyer 31 all be in transfer chamber 50 almost coaxial and be positioned at its top the position, the motion of the motion of this conveyer 31 and transfer chamber 50 is complementary.Because the device 31 route P4 that follow are circles of rigidity, device 31 is rigidly fixed on the supporter 36, so the route P2 of transfer chamber 50 is such routes, promptly by the appropriate setting to the route of trapped orbit 45, route P2 departs from respect to figures and overlaps with the described part T2 of the route P4 of conveyer 31.
Distribute outlet 11 to be arranged near the described T2 upstream end portion.
In use, device 31 is process below distribution outlet 11, and herein, just the dosage D that is cut by blade 13 enters in the cavity of inner contact surface 32b formation, and is pushed with the horizontal movement contact by the latter.Simultaneously, D also moves down by gravity effect dosage, slides along contact surface 32b in the mode that is guided, until till leaving the latter and falling in the transfer chamber 50 of below.This transfer is partly implemented along T2, and as mentioned above, contact surface 32b is almost coaxial and above it with transfer chamber 50 along T2 part, and moves together with identical motion mode with the latter.
Because route P4 and route P2 are complementary in the T2 part, the T2 part will have suitable length, and because the uniformity of the motion in this T2 part, can obtain the long relatively time (depending on the velocity of rotation of molding apparatus 20 and the length of T2 part), in this time period, each dosage D correctly can be transferred in the transfer chamber 50 from distributing outlet 11.
Drop in the release seat in order to optimize product D, the bottom 33 of surperficial 32b is closed and restrains.
Figure 11 to 14 has shown by conveyer 31 dose of polymer D has been transferred to the remarkable stage of transfer chamber 50 from distributing outlet 11 that all these stages all occur in described compatible portion T2.
Figure 11 has shown in the cavity that just enters into surperficial 32b and the dosage D that has just separated from squeeze-up M by the effect of blade 13.This stage is corresponding to the position Q1 among Fig. 3.
In Figure 12 to 14, condensate D is accompanied by the whereabouts by surperficial 32b, until enter into the transfer chamber 50 interior (Figure 14) of below fully.
Figure 15 to 16 shown with dose of polymer D from the transfer chamber 50 important stages of cavity of transferring to the mould 21 of below, all these stages all occur in described compatible portion T1.
Figure 21,22 has shown the modification of equipment, injection pressure fluid in the transfer chamber above dosage D 50 wherein, for example air or other gas, with produce downward thrust and make dosage D pass the lower opening of described chamber in this way and leave more hurry up.
For this reason, be provided with first closing device, it is suitable for closing the upper opening of transfer chamber 50, in first closing device one or more openings can be set, in order to utilize pressure that dose of polymer D is sprayed by lower opening, by the opening in first closing device, utilize suitable pressure fluid distributor that compression fluid is assigned in the chamber 50.In illustrated embodiment, first closing device comprises closed shape 54, the upper opening that closed shape 54 was closed transfer chamber 50 when each transfer chamber 50 was in the position that is stacked in the die cavity top just.When this stacked generation, pressure fluid passes and is arranged in the main body 54 and downward opening 54a enters into the inside of transfer chamber 50, to enforce following dosage D downwards.Closed shape 54 is fixed on the below of external margin of the rotational support dish 36a of second transfer device 30.Described supporting disk 36a is connected with supporter 36 and is concentric, and supporter 36 supports conveyer 31 and extends with such diameter, so that its external margin is stacked on the route of mould 21.The device 30 and the behavioral characteristics of molding apparatus 20 are such relations, that is: for each transfer chamber 50 of cavity top that is stacked in mould 21, closed shape 54 is set to close the upper opening of transfer chamber 50.In this stage, pressure fluid passes main body 54 by this way, that is: dose of polymer D is promoted to enter into the below downwards and be in the die cavity of transfer position.Closed shape 54 is as the ejecting devices with dose of polymer D 50 releases from the transfer chamber thus.
According to the embodiment shown in Figure 23 and 24, be used for dosage D is comprised from distributing outlet 11 second transfer devices 30 of transferring to transfer chamber 50: with the turntable 15 of the rotations of fixed allocation outlet 11 associatings, its perimeter support has and a plurality ofly is suitable for distributing second of plastics to distribute outlet 16, and outlet 16 is moved along the figures P5 on horizontal plane.More detailed, turntable 15 rotates around vertical central axis 15A, and has top outlet 152, and top outlet 152 is positioned at axis 15A and goes up and be connected on the stationary exit 11 by swivel 151.Joint 151 has been guaranteed stationary exit 11 and has been rotated the continuity that the fluid between the outlet 152 connects.
In turntable 15 inside, be provided with central channel 153, it is from exporting 152 beginnings and extending along axis 15A, and be provided with a plurality of transverse grooves 154, its lower end from central channel 153 is radially extended and is supplied downward second outlet 16 that as much has vertical axis, and outlet 16 is distributed on the periphery of turntable 15 and is arranged as apart from the identical distance of axis 15A and each other with the angled layout of identical distance.Each outlet 16 all is suitable for distributing the squeeze-up of plastics, and their central each all are furnished with the device that is used for squeeze-up is divided into many doses D.For example, described segmenting device is a closing device 17, and it can cut apart the extruding polymerization body thus at the inner tap 161 that moves axially and be suitable for closing outlet 16 of outlet.Alternatively, segmenting device can be the blade (not shown).
The disclosed turntable 15 that has corresponding united ele-ment is known; For example, it is a disclosed type in the patent application PCT/EP2003/07235 that is submitted to by identical applicant.
The mobile device of transfer chamber 50 is suitable for mobile in turn by this way chamber 50, that is: the route P2 of chamber 50 has the part (this part is labeled as T5 in Figure 23) of distributing the route P5 coupling of outlet 16 with second, each transfer chamber 50 is in almost coaxial and be positioned at position below it with second outlet 16 in this process, and the motion of the motion of transfer chamber 50 and second outlet 16 is complementary, in the transfer of this part generation dose of polymer D to transfer chamber 50.
In use, the extrusion plastic body falls continuously from distributing outlet 11, and passes groove 153 and 154 and enter into second outlet 16.The latter is to move with the mode of turntable 15 synchronized movement, distribute (perhaps several exits carries out simultaneously) dose of polymer D in turn in every next mode, they are advanced along described part T5 simultaneously, they are stacked in above the chamber 50 accurately at this part T5, and in this part, dosage D utilizes gravity to fall in the transfer chamber 50 of below.
Because route P2 and route P5 are complementary among the part T5, part T5 will have suitable length, and owing to the uniformity of moving along part T5, so can obtain the long relatively time, this all depends on the velocity of rotation of molding apparatus 20 and the length of T5 part, in this time period, dosage D can be transferred in the transfer chamber 50 of below from each second distribution outlet 16.
In the embodiment of Fig. 7 and arm assembly 41 shown in Figure 9, at compatible portion T1, T2 and T5, the motion of transfer chamber 50 (track and speed) is different with preceding two embodiment, not to mate the motion of mould 21 accurately or mate conveyer 31 respectively or the motion of the second distribution outlet 16, but with the approaching such motion of enough accurate way.
First transfer device 50 can comprise the shape adjustment device, be suitable for shape is carried out modification on how much, utilize the latter, revise each size of dose of plastics D, so that dose of plastics D is suitable for that the situation at the wall that does not contact mould 21 cavitys falls in the cavity of mould 21 in dropping process, in the correct thus cavity that is inserted into die cavity.The shape adjustment device die cavity for the quality of dose of polymer D deeply with narrow and/or the relative fast situation of service speed under particularly suitable.Typical example is the PET performing member of the common plastics bottle that is used for operating mine spring or other soda of being shaped because in this case for the quality of dosage die cavity dark relatively, narrow.
According to an embodiment, determining the shape of dose of polymer D on the shape of the internal cavities 50a of transfer chamber 50 geometry.In other words, dosage D is inserted in the transfer chamber 50, and its shape can be inequality with the shape of the internal cavities 50a of chamber, and regulated by the latter, to such an extent as to because intrinsic flowability and the plasticity of dosage, dosage D is the shape of the shape, particularly side surface identical with cavity 50a.
As described above, because adjusting device, passing through of dose of polymer from the transfer chamber to the die cavity can so fast realization, the feasible described T1 part that no longer needs route P2 and route P3 to be complementary, in this T1 part, each transfer chamber 50 all is in the almost coaxial and position thereon, position with the cavity of mould 21.
According to the embodiment shown in Figure 11-16,25,27,28, the internal cavities 50a of transfer chamber 50 is laterally limited by surface, the inside 51b of sidewall 51, its surface is columniform, has vertical bus, may have circular cross section, and its lateral dimension is not more than the smallest lateral dimension of the entrance area of die cavity.
In the illustrated case, for example at Figure 15 and 16 shown, the cavity of the top 21b of mould has a diameter, and it is less than the cylindrical side of bottom 21a.In this case, the diameter of internal cavities 50a will be slightly smaller than the diameter of the cavity of top 21b.
Otherwise also be suitable for, if the cylindrical side of the cavity of mould bottom 21a has the diameter littler than the cavity of top 21b.
When dosage D be discharged into by chamber 50 below mould 21 cavity in the time, the shape that dosage D has makes the latter can pass this cavity, do not contact the sidewall of cavity at dropping process, even and when all guaranteeing to come in contact in any case, the location that will not hinder and correct the dosage D in the mould 21.
For dosage D better is inserted in the chamber 50, the lateral dimension of internal cavities 50a (diameter) cannot be less than the lateral dimension of the dosage D that discharge from distribution outlet 11.
Except the sidewall 51 by cylindrical closure laterally limits, the internal cavities 50a of transfer chamber 50 can pass through the second closing device closure in the bottom, this second closing device comprises lower base wall 52, and it is suitable for taking selectable closing and open position by not shown device.
Same, the upper base of internal cavities 50a can be closed by first closing device 53 that comprises diapire, and last diapire can open and close by not shown device.When transfer chamber 50 received dose of polymer D from distributing outlet 11, upper wall 53 was shown in an open position, and lower wall 52 is in the close position.When transfer chamber 50 divides timing with dose of polymer D to die cavity, upper wall 53 is in the close position, and lower wall 52 is shown in an open position.
In illustrated embodiment, following diapire 52 is smooth and is positioned on the horizontal plane when closing position.In order to reach the position of opening, following diapire 52 moves along identical described horizontal plane, and it approaches the lower edge of sidewall 51.Especially, described time diapire 52 rotates around the pivot 521 that has vertical axis and be connected on the wall 51 with respect to described sidewall 51.

When dose of polymer D contacted with the inner surface of the cavity 50a of transfer chamber 50, when particularly contacting with the inner surface 52b of inner lateral surfaces 51b and lower wall 52, chamber 50 comprised anti-bonding device, was used for completely or partially minimizing by bonding that this contact produced.
According to the embodiment of transfer chamber shown in Figure 25 50, described anti-bonding device comprises distributor, and it is suitable for cavity accommodating fluid, particularly gas to chamber 50, for example air.The fluid of discharging forms the gap between the inner surface of transfer chamber 50 and dose of polymer D, reduce the bond effect between dose of polymer D and the inner contact surface thus.
The sidewall 51 of transfer chamber 50 and following diapire 52 are preferably porous, make fluid can pass its thickness.In this case, be provided with second sidewall 51 ', it is positioned at sidewall 51 outsides and coaxial with sidewall 51, and it is around described sidewall 51 and be connected on the latter in last lower edge.Two walls 51 and 51 ' between define side room 51a, its 360 degree extends around porous sidewall 51 and along its whole height or almost whole height.Side room 51a is connected with a kind of device, and this device does not illustrate in the drawings, and it is suitable for pressed gas is delivered among the described camera bellows 51a by groove 59 and inlet 56, and passes porous wall 51 therefrom and send into 50 inboards, transfer chamber.
Further be provided with the second outside diapire 52 ', it is arranged on lower wall 52 belows and along external margin and latter associating.Two walls 52 and 52 ' between define thin bottom compartment 52a, it extends along gamut of diapire 52, it also is connected with such device, this device is suitable for pressed gas being sent into chamber 52a and passing porous wall 52 therefrom and send into 50 inside, transfer chamber.
Pressed gas is sent to chamber 52a and 51a, and from passing porous wall 52 and 51 here forming gas gap or gas blanket, and it is folded between the outer surface of inside surface 52b, the 51b of wall 52 and 51 and dose of polymer D.This gap that is filled with gas has the effect of avoiding contact between dose of polymer D and the wall 52,51, perhaps reduce the time and the degree of contact zone at least, reduce the macroscopical bond effect between dose of polymer D and the wall 52,51 thus, effectively flow downward thereby strengthen dosage.
Have been found that, be filled with and have enough pressure and flow speed value that (it is applied to another kind of the application and changes from a kind of by between contact surface and dose of polymer D, inserting, be easy in any case confirm) the gap of fluid, might be fully or to be reduced to the latter to the bond effect with dose of polymer D of small part in fact non-caked and do not keep being bonded to surperficial degree.
In fact, be filled with the gap of the fluid with suitable flow velocity and force value by formation, force value generally less (one or several crust are just enough) has been avoided the contact between dose of polymer D and the contact surface.If yet having produced contact, it all is confined to some place and limited time in a word.About this, test shows, by being limited to low relatively numerical value the time of contact between dose of polymer D and the surface, can obtain corresponding little macroscopical bond effect.If tack time is several microseconds, the bond effect of macroscopic view is zero no better than.
This phenomenon can be explained by the fact: in order to reach bond effect, require to be not less than time of contact a value (reaction time), so that chemistry-physical bond power can tell on.This reaction time is the function of material, temperature and local pressure.Fluid-filled gap makes this process constantly interrupt, so that bonding does not take place farthest or even avoid all contacts.
Diameter by utilizing the hole is 5 * 10 -3Mm to 20 * 10 -3Porous material between the mm is made described porous wall and by carrying gas to chamber 51a and 52a pressure between the 0.5-1 crust, can be obtained splendid result.
Figure 31 has shown the operation of the transfer chamber 50 among Figure 25.Chamber 50 is arranged on the primary importance that receives dosage D at first, is for example distributing outlet 11 bottoms and is almost exporting 11 coaxial positions (position P1) with distribution.Next, chamber 50 moves to second place P2, and it is placed on position, particularly die cavity top and almost coaxial with the die cavity position of die cavity top, here chamber 50 release polymers dosage D.
The motion of chamber 50 is correlated with, that is to say, along with the displacement of chamber, simultaneously the plastics feedway keep static and simultaneously mould move, perhaps according to other and different motion combinations, and produce motion.
50 from distributing outlet 11 to receive the stage of dosage D in the transfer chamber, and upper wall 53 is shown in an open position, and lower wall 52 is in the close position.50 are discharged into stage in the die cavity with dose of polymer D in the transfer chamber, and upper wall 53 is in the close position, and lower wall 52 is shown in an open position.50 are in position P2 and realize the described stage of dose of polymer D to the whereabouts of die cavity in the transfer chamber, when diapire 52 is opened and is gone up diapire 53 simultaneously and keep closing instantly, pass wall 51 and 52 and the pressed gas that is discharged in the chamber 50 produces " impacts " effect, its promote fast and effectively dosage D enter below mould inside.
As shown in figure 26, as substituting of porous wall, the wall of non-porous material can be set, but a lot of duck eyes 57 wherein can be set, make fluid can pass the latter, described duck eye 57 is distributed in the zone that comes in contact with dose of polymer D.For example, these holes 57 can have spiral and distribute, so that realize the maximum possibility that covers at contact area.According to another selection scheme, porous wall can be replaced by the wall that a plurality of element sets are made, and these a plurality of elements produce the mutual separator bar of a plurality of relative thin, and they are shaped on contact area and distribute with suitable manner, and fluid can flow by them.
By the fluid of carrying between contact surface and dose of polymer D is carried out thermal conditioning, disclosed hereinly be further strengthened, to reduce the temperature of dose of polymer D surface and/or contact surface by the fluid-filled advantageous effects that the gap produced.
For this reason, can the setting device (not shown), it is suitable for convection cell or gas carries out thermal conditioning to reduce its temperature.Under these circumstances, be formed on that the gap that is filled with gas between the outer surface of the surface, inside of transfer chamber 50 and dose of polymer D has also produced and wall 52 and 51 main bodys and and the outer surface of dose of polymer D between the available heat exchange, this heat exchange can be used for promoting flowing of dose of polymer D.By passing wall or just brushing contact surface 51b and the surface of 52b and dose of polymer D, the fluid of cooling has reduced its temperature at least outwardly, has increased the viscosity of dose of polymer D thus, has reduced the bonding of plastics thus.In fact, have been found that the temperature that then must reduce wall prevents bonding if increase (from the microsecond to the millisecond) time of contact.Disclosed in the above contact surface under the situation on the wall that is made of porous materials, if perhaps in a word fluid pass narrow relatively opening because the expansion when passing wall and leaving makes fluid self have favourable " cooling effect ".Obviously, regulate fluid temperature (F.T.) to avoid dose of polymer D sub-cooled (even local) thus cause the micro-crystallization of material for example or be irregular rudiment in the material at least.In any case, by fluid produce to the cooling effect of dose of polymer and contact surface by dosage and dosage conveyer directly, that the physics grown relatively contacts resulting effect is different fully.In fact, in the previous case, have the but chilly of a kind of top layer that only influences dose of plastics D, and it is distributed to its whole surface in the mode of rule and homogeneous.On the other hand, under the situation that contacts between dose of polymer D and the conveyer, have in the relative fraction that is limited in the dosage, and strong and dark relatively cooling, as previously described, for formed product brings harmful result.
Alternatively, gas can be sent to 50 inside, transfer chamber, and wherein air-flow tangentially directs into contact surface 52b, 51b, so that the surface was brushed in the gap that produces.Be in for transfer chamber 50 and realize on the T1 part that dose of polymer D drops into the fall stage in the cavity of mould 21, the existence of chamber 50 internal pressure gases also has important advantageous effects.When diapire 52 is opened instantly, go up diapire 53 simultaneously and remain closed, pass the pressed gas that wall 51 and 53 is discharged in the chamber 50 and produce " impacts " effect, it rapidly and inside of the die cavity below effectively dosage D being pushed to.This advantageous effects can realize by in a different manner gas being sent in the chamber 50, for example, and as top disclosed, by porous wall 51 is provided.As shown in figure 26, pass one or more openings 57 that also are arranged in the diapire 53 by carrying gas, this effect can be enhanced.Described gas is used for dose of polymer D is advanced in the die cavity downwards.
Alternatively, by the last diapire 53 made with porous material and pass the latter and in chamber 50, send into gas, can also obtain described effect.In detail, as shown in figure 25, be provided with second diapire 53 ', it is positioned at wall 53 outsides and top, and along outward flange and latter associating.Two walls 53 and 53 ' between define thin upper chambers 53a, its gamut along diapire 53 extends, and diapire 53 is connected to the device that is suitable for sending into pressed gas in the 53a of chamber, and gas passes porous wall 53 therefrom and enters in the transfer chamber 50, and diapire 52 is opened under this stage.
Alternatively, as shown in figure 26, in order to promote dose of polymer D downwards, being provided with one or more in last diapire 53 equally also is the opening 57 of effective diameter, is used for fluid is sent in the chamber 50.
Figure 27 has shown a kind of modification of transfer chamber 50, it is with shown in Figure 25 substantially the same, their difference is that diapire 53 is not a porous, also is the hole 57 of effective diameter but have one or more, is used for being sent to fluid in the chamber 50 and promoting dose of polymer D downwards.
Modification shown in Figure 29 is similar substantially to the transfer chamber of Figure 26 50, and their difference is down that diapire 52 is not a porous, but is used for several duck eyes or a plurality of thin separator bar that fluid passes through to sidewall 51 similar being provided with.Last diapire 53 has one or more openings 57.Alternatively, shown in figure 32, diapire 53 can be set.Under such situation, because dose of polymer D has the size, particularly diameter dimension of the cavity size that is less than or equal to mould 21, dose of polymer D can utilize gravity fall to arrive cavity inside.
In modification shown in Figure 32, following diapire 52 is not whole, but comprises two elements 525, and with respect to sidewall 51, they can rotate around the pivot that has vertical axis and be connected on the wall 51 separately.When this two elements 25 rotate when they are incorporated into closing position, the outlet of their close chamber 50 also forms porous wall 52.On the other hand, when this two elements 25 during towards external rotating to the position of opening, they can leave dosage D.
Equally lower wall 52 can be set.In this case, as shown in figure 37, the disappearance of lower wall 52 can remedy by the specific process that gas distributes, and gas makes dose of polymer D keep hanging, and prevents that the latter from falling from the transfer chamber.When dose of polymer D must fall to entering die cavity, this effect obviously stopped.Especially, figure 37 illustrates its sidewall 51 is continuous and non-porous chambers 50.Chamber 50 lacks diapires down, in order to prevent the whereabouts of dose of polymer D, is provided with Pneumatic support device, and it comprises the looped pipeline 511 that is arranged on sidewall 51 lower limbs below, the following outlet of its embracing chamber 50 and leaving of non-barrier polymers dosage D.By one or more inlets 512 is pipeline 511 supply pressure fluids, its by suitable towards opening 513 to produce the jet in the lower part outlet upwards direct into chamber 50.By the pressure of appropriate demarcation exhaust fluid, dose of polymer D might be kept being suspended on 50 inside, chamber, thereby prevent that dosage D from passing lower part outlet.Very natural, when hope stops the whereabouts of dosage D, divide the fluid supply of orientation pipeline 511; Vice versa, when hope realizes the whereabouts of dosage D, and supply discontinuity.
Direct fluid that can be appropriate so that also produce fluid-filled gap, is used to prevent the bonding of dosage D to contact surface.
According to the embodiment of shape that is suitable for telomerized polymer dosage D and transfer device shown in Figure 30, the concave side walls 51 that limits transfer chamber 50 has side mouth 520, for example is used for inserting from the side dosage D.Chamber 50 comprises pneumatic building mortion, and the pressure fluid that it is suitable for discharging the inner surface 51b of toward side wall 51 directs on the dosage D that passes side mouth 520, thereby regulates the shape of dosage.Especially, the sidewall 51 of chamber 50 has " U " shape cross section, and it has two vertical pipelines 521 at two free ends, and it is connected to unshowned pressure fluid source by groove 22.Vertical pipeline 521 is provided with several openings 523, and it is suitable for jet rows to opening 520.By this way, dose of polymer D by under fluid layer insertion situation with sidewall 51 contact and dynamic action by opening 523 fluid discharged is conditioned.
As shown in figure 26, the different embodiment according to the shape that is used for telomerized polymer dosage D is provided with pneumatic building mortion, and it is suitable for pressure fluid is discharged in the transfer chamber 50, acts on the side surface of dose of polymer D to regulate its geometry.Basic identical among transfer chamber 50 and Figure 25, but wall 51 is not a porous, but have a plurality of holes 57 bigger than the diameter in hole, by them, pressure fluid (for example air) imports in the internal cavities 50a, and this fluid is guided on the side surface of dose of polymer D, to regulate latter's shape.Especially, the diameter of the cross section of dosage D reduces, so that the latter is suitable for falling in the cavity of mould 21, and does not contact its wall.
Because this scheme, the shape that just might regulate dosage D in adjustable mode only changes the feature that is injected into the fluid in the chamber 50, and does not change the latter's geometric properties.Identical hole 57 can also be arranged on the upper base 53, but the most important thing is in order to promote dose of polymer D downwards when dose of polymer D is shifted in die cavity.
In the transfer chamber shown in Figure 33 and 34 50, be provided with anti-bonding device, be used for the bonding between the inner surface that reduces dose of polymer D and transfer chamber 50 completely or partially.
In this case, chamber 50, particularly inner surface 51b, 52b wherein are by with the vibration of different frequency values, so that prevent or to the reduction dose of polymer D of small part and the macroscopical bond effect between the inner surface.In fact have been found that, utilize suitable vibration values, even plastics are viscosity, even plastics have produced other bonding point of macro-level, yet the degree of these bonding points is very little and the most important thing is only to keep the very short time, therefore the macroscopical cohesive force between material and the contact surface is very little comparatively speaking, and has reduced greatly at such contact surface 51b and the bonding phenomenon between the dose of polymer D.In detail, in the embodiment shown in Figure 33 and 34, on the outer surface of transfer chamber 50, adopt suitable vibration generating apparatus 55, be suitable for, so that avoid or reduce bond effect between dose of polymer D and inner surface 51b, the 52b at least with certain frequency values vibration transfer chamber 50.
By the vibrational excitation on the plane that acts on the vertical axis that is orthogonal to transfer chamber 50, obtained extraordinary result, wherein under the situation of PET plastics with the frequency vibration of 300 pulse/sec.
For the bonding between the inner surface that completely or partially reduces dose of polymer D and transfer chamber 50, another embodiment of the transfer chamber 50 that does not illustrate among the figure provides the thin layer of anti-stick coating of inner surface of the cavity 50a of covering chamber 50, described thin layer is the material that has the anti-stick performance for dose of polymer D, PTFE (Teflon ) for example, its outer surface defines the described contact surface that contacts with dose of polymer D.
The modification of transfer chamber 50 shown in Figure 35 and the difference among Figure 34 are: diapire the 52, the 53rd, porous so that fluid or gas can pass their thickness.
Modification shown in Figure 36 and the difference among Figure 35 are: going up diapire 53 is not porous, but has one or more openings 57 that fluid passes through that are used for.
According to the embodiment of Figure 38,39 and 40 shown devices 31, conveyer comprises the anti-bonding device of the bonding between the inner surface 32b that the reduction dosage D that is used for completely or partially and dosage D contacted.
Device 31 comprises the curved wall 32 that a side is opened wide, and its inner surface defines contact surface 32b.The bottom 33 of wall 32 is circular and closed, and has the axial component of assembling a little downwards.
Device 31 comprises the distributor that is suitable for forming along inner surface 32b fluid gap or fluid layer (for example gas), is used for the bond effect between dosage D and the inner surface of reducing completely or partially.
Especially, curved wall 32 (comprising its underpart 33) is a porous, so that gas can pass, and comprises that further the lower end and the upper end that are positioned at curved wall 32 outsides and coaxial second tubular wall, 320, the second tubular walls 320 are connected on the curved wall 32.Between two walls 32 and 320, define chamber 34, it extends around crooked porous wall 32 and along its whole length or almost whole length, described chamber 34 is connected (only part illustrates in Figure 40) with device 38, it is suitable for pressure fluid is sent in the chamber 34, and this gas leaves at contact surface 32b place.
Chamber 34 be divided into top 34 ' and bottom 34 ", its respectively by pipeline 35 ' and 35 " supply, in order better to control the whereabouts of dosage D, pipeline separates by this way, that is: make the transmission of the fluid that enters into two chamber 34 parts have different pressure characteristics.
Wall 32 utilizations have above-mentioned porous material about transfer chamber's 50 disclosed features makes, and can obtain extraordinary effect.And, to above-mentioned similar be, the device (not illustrating among the figure) that is suitable for gas is carried out thermal conditioning can be set, with the mode that reduces its temperature regulate and have above disclosed feature and result.
Alternatively, flow by being tangential to contact surface 32b, gas can be delivered to contact surface 32b, makes to form the gap that contacts with this surface.
Contact surface 32b and the fluid-filled gap between the dose of polymer D at conveyer 31 have produced above-mentioned disclosed favourable effect about transfer chamber 50.
Figure 41 and 42 has shown the selected embodiment of the anti-bonding device of the bonding between the inner surface 32b that has reduced dosage D and conveyer 31 that is used for completely or partially.Conveyer 31 particularly its inner surface 32b is vibrated with certain frequency values, makes to avoid or to the macroscopical bond effect between dosage D and the inner surface of reducing of small part.In detail, in the embodiment shown in Figure 41 and 42, vibration generating apparatus 55 is applied on the outer surface of conveyer 31, is suitable for certain frequency values vibration curved wall 32, so that prevent or reduce bond effect between dosage D and the inner surface 32b at least.
Alternatively, for the bonding between the inner surface 32b that completely or partially reduces dosage D and conveyer 31, thin coating is set on the inner surface of curved wall 32, described thin coating is to be made by the material that has the anti-stick performance with respect to dosage D, PTFE (Teflon ) for example, its outer surface defines the described contact surface that contacts with dosage.
Figure 65-70 has shown equipment, and it comprises and being suitable for distribution outlet or mouthful 11 dosage-dispensing devices sent 10 of dose of plastics from being arranged on lower position that described lower position is on the lower surface 12 of distributor 10.
At first plastics are heated to suitable temperature,,, for example under the PET situation, are heated to about 300 ℃ so that they can have enough flowabilities plastics are converted into the liquid state of how much viscosity.Utilize pressure that plastics are moved forward along the groove 130 in the distributor 10 then, thereby take them to distribution outlet 11.
Distributor 10 also comprises the shutoff device 14 of the amount that is suitable for separating materials, and its material that will define a dosage D separates from the downstream of the squeeze-up M of the viscous fluid material that distributes along groove 130.
Especially, according to the embodiment shown in Figure 65-70, the form of shutoff device 14 is to be assemblied in the cylindrical upright cavity 150 inner pistons that also can vertically move, and it stops at lower surface 12, and the piston lower end defines distributes outlet or port one 1.Groove 130 is positioned at outlet 11 upstreams in cavity 150 point 131 places stop.Shutoff device 14 is usually above point 131, so that flow out and the whereabouts by the bottom of cavity 150 from putting 131 materials of discharging.By making shutoff device 14 surpass point 131 downwards, squeeze-up M is intercepted, and end portion disconnects therefrom, has formed the dosage that is inserted in the die cavity.
Mould 21 shown in the figure is by molding apparatus operation, and is used for forming and is suitable for the performing member that follow-up manufacturing (normally utilizing blow moulding) thermoplastic resin (particularly PET) bottle is used.These performing members comprise bottleneck with the net shape in bottle and the ducted body that is used to form the container body of bottle in the bottle fabrication stage.In this case, mould is by the bottom 210 of spill with have the top 220 of running through cavity and constitute.Bottom 210 has and is roughly columniform smooth concave surface 211, and it has determined the shape of outer surface of the ducted body of performing member, and top 220 has complex surfaces 221, and it has determined the shape of the outer surface of bottleneck.When bottleneck had radial projection, described top 220 was divided at least two half one (illustrated case is two), and it is suitable for laterally moving each other, so that discharge performing member.Described two concave surfaces 211 and 221 have formed the cavity of mould 21.
Obviously, the present invention also can be used for cavity to have in the difform mould, does not for example have described top 220 and bottom 210 to have the more situation of simple shape.Mould supports by main body 25, and main body is driven by molded turntable (not illustrating among the figure) usually, and turntable comprises a plurality of by the mould of Continuous Drive.In some stages of work period, main body 25 and corresponding mould can be connected to turntable, perhaps can disconnect connection from the latter, and move by turntable, and for other stage, they can separate with turntable; Under a kind of in the back situation, mould can be by the moving device delivery of shuttle.
Be provided with and insert device 300, it has the pipeline 310 that is used for dosage, its be tubulose and be provided with inlet 310a in the upper end and be provided with outlet 310b in the lower end.
Pipeline 310 is suitable for distribution outlet 11 associatings at inlet 310 places and distributor 10.Specifically, in the embodiment shown in Figure 65, the upper end of pipeline 310 is fixed on the going to the bottom of distributor 10, and distributes outlet 11 and inlet 310a coupling.
Outlet pipeline 310 bottoms 311 thereon, 310b position are suitable for being inserted in the die cavity, and the insertion amount is the quite long part of the latter's axial length.Described part 311 almost can influence the whole axial length of pipeline 310.
The method of being discussed is basically: make pipeline 310 with distributor 10 (its outlet 11 and inlet 310a associating), at least be that its bottom is inserted in the die cavity, the insertion amount is sizable part of pipeline axial length, and falls and the outlet of finally passing pipeline is discharged in the die cavity by the described dosage of the latter.
A series of stages that Figure 66 to 70 has been experienced when having shown in the equipment among Figure 65 inserts dosage according to the die cavity of the first embodiment of the present invention.
Pipeline 310 is at first put into die cavity makes the axis of pipeline 310 overlap (Figure 66) substantially with the die cavity axis.Then mould and distributor 10 relative to each other vertically move, so that the bottom 311 of pipeline 310 is set in the die cavity (Figure 67,68 and 69).In illustrated embodiment, distributor 10 remains on the constant height, and has only mould vertically to move.Alternatively, distributor 10 can vertically move or two all move.
Squeeze-up M moves forward along groove 130 (Fig. 6), then also moves along the bottom of vertical cavity 150, and finally moves forward along pipeline 310 (Figure 67).When the part of the squeeze-up M below point 131 reaches preset length, shutoff device 14 is fallen, its intercepting squeeze-up M, and its end portion is disconnected, it defines dose of plastics D (Figure 68).
Next, (Figure 69) material falls along pipeline 310, up to the outlet 310b that arrives at the latter.At this moment, at dosage D from the process that the outlet 310b of pipeline 310 leaves, with pipeline to remove (Figure 70) with respect to the whereabouts motion forms of motion identical and that direction is opposite of pipeline from die cavity with dosage D.At last, pipeline 310 is fetched into the outside of die cavity completely, the original position (Figure 66) of the circulation position shown in above turning back to.
It has been seen in that, as real expectation, dosage D is accompanied by the bottom that flow to die cavity by pipeline 310 thus, and does not contact with the latter's side surface.
The outlet of pipeline 310 is near more from the die cavity bottom, and the risk that dosage D contacts with the sidewall of mould is just more little, and the position that dosage occupies in cavity is just more accurate.
Yet,, can reduce to be inserted into the length of the interior bottom 311 of die cavity if want to reduce by distributor 10 and insert group that device 300 forms and the relatively vertically stroke between the mould.
Under such situation, this length is according to different factors vary, for example according to the geometry of mould cavity; Ratio between diameter and the axial length is big more, and the length of part 311 can be more little.Described length can change according to the motion state of mould.If mould is static or do not suffer significant centrifugal thrust, the length of bottom 311 can be less.
Under a lot of situations, bottom 311 is inserted just enough at least 1/3 of length identical part with mold shaft.
Situation as shown in the figure, be provided with the radial projection concordant or almost concordant with bottom 210 if the sidewall of the bottom of mould 210 has vertical substantially bus and top 220, then the axial length of bottom 311 makes the outlet 310b of pipeline surpass described top 220 at least.
Summarize in fact, dosage D preferably has the cross section approaching as far as possible with the cross section of die cavity.As a result, consider the mechanical resistance that wall necessarily had of pipeline 31, the channel section of pipeline 310 can be as much as possible near the channel section of die cavity.Yet, must clearance to be arranged, because this wall must and not contact the latter along the operation of the axial surface of die cavity, and must between wall and cavity surface, create the gap, must find time to enter into air in the mould along it.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 66-70, after the material that utilizes shutoff device 14 to leave in the groove 130 disconnects, dosage D since gravity fall to pipeline 310.
The upstream point of dosage D in pipeline 310, by inserting pressure fluid, it flows dosage convenient and falls and is discharged to outside the pipe outlet 310b, and the whereabouts of dosage D can be pushed thus.Usually, fluid is a gas, and for example air can be different gas still, for example nitrogen, carbon dioxide or other gas.
Especially, after a certain amount of material of limiting dose D and the squeeze-up downstream of coming out from groove 130 were disconnected, shutoff device 14 was from its rear surface dispense pressure fluid, for example when equipment is in state shown in Figure 68.
For this reason, according to the scheme shown in Figure 71, shutoff device 14 has head 141 that is provided with thin relatively through hole 142 and the axial groove 143 that links to each other with the pressure fluid source (not shown).Optionally utilize difform access portal or, can obtain identical effect and result by using the porous material of supplying with by described source.
Alternatively, in the embodiment shown in Figure 72-76, shutoff device 14 impels the whereabouts of dosage D, and it promotes dosage as piston and along pipeline 310.
The first (Figure 72,73 and 74) that dosage inserts circulation is identical with top first with reference to accompanying drawing 66,67 and 68 disclosed circulations.Pipeline 310 is arranged to die cavity, the axis of pipeline 310 is overlapped substantially with the axis of die cavity.Then, mould and distributor 10 vertically move relative to each other, and bottom 311 is set in the die cavity.Simultaneously, material then also moves ahead along pipeline 310 (Figure 73) along groove 130 (Figure 72) reach.Then make the shutoff device 14 intercepting materials that fall, the bottom is disconnected from squeeze-up M, thereby define the dosage D (Figure 74) of material.
At the second portion of this circulation, shutoff device 14 falls along pipeline 310, promotes dosage D as piston along pipeline 310, arrives the outlet 310b of pipeline 310 up to dosage D.Subsequently, at dosage D when the outlet 310b of pipeline 310 comes out, with pipeline 310 with shutoff device 14 and dosage D with respect to the whereabouts motion of pipeline 310 basic identical and forms of motion that direction is opposite remove (Figure 76) from die cavity.At last, pipeline 310 is fetched into the outside of die cavity completely, and shutoff device 14 turn back to above shown in the original position (Figure 72) of circulation.
Shutoff device 14 can have finish, coating and be suitable for preventing the technical solution of shutoff device 14 adhered plastics.
The form of embodiment shown in Figure 77 and 78 and front is inequality, because: owing to pass through suitable dispensing device, surperficial 320b forms along inside in the gap of fluid-filled (for example air, carbon dioxide, nitrogen or other fluid), so that completely or partially reduce the bond effect between dosage D and the inner surface, so dosage D is mobile along the inner surface 320b of pipeline 310 tubular walls 320.According to illustrated embodiment, pipeline 310 comprises inner tubular wall 320, and its axial cavity defines the channel cavity of dosage D, and wall 320 is porous, makes fluid can pass wall 320.Pipeline 310 comprises that the lower end that is positioned at porous wall 320 outsides and second tubular wall 330, the second tubular walls 330 coaxial with it is connected to porous wall 320, and upper support 370 has ring cavity 370a, and it is around the upper end of porous wall 320.Two walls 320 and 330 and supporter 370 between define the gap, it defines 360 ° of chambers 340 around perforated tubular wall 320, and extend along the whole length or the almost whole length of wall 320 chamber 340.Chamber 340 is connected on the device (not shown), and this device is suitable for the inlet 350 that pressure fluid passes on the supporter 370 is sent in the chamber 340.
Pressure fluid is admitted to chamber 340, and dosage D falls along inner surface 320b simultaneously.Fluid flows through porous wall 320, forms fluid layer, and this fluid layer is inserted between the outer surface of the inner surface 320b of wall 320 and dosage D.Fluid layer has the effect that prevents the contact between dosage D and the wall 320, perhaps reduces time and degree that contact area continues at least, reduces the macroscopical bond effect between dosage D and the wall 320 thus, thereby promotes effective and favourable the flowing downward of dosage D.
Diameter by utilizing the hole is 5 * 10 -3Mm to 20 * 10 -3Porous material between the mm is made wall 320 and by to the gas of chamber 340 discharge pressure values between the 0.5-1 crust, can be obtained splendid effect.
Alternatively, fluid can be sent in the pipeline 310, and wherein the mobile of fluid becomes tangentially with inner surface 320b, to form the layer that contacts with surperficial 320b.
Simultaneously, this fluid layer has also produced the available heat exchange with the outer surface of wall 320 main bodys and dosage D, and this heat exchange can be effectively used and promote flowing of dosage.Especially, but the generator (not shown) comes the convection cell temperature to carry out thermal conditioning, make by flow through wall 320 therefore fluid reduced the temperature of the inner surface 320b of the outer surface of dosage D and pipeline 310.The reduction of dose form surface temperature has increased its viscosity, has reduced its bonding to wall 320 thus.By reducing the temperature of wall 320, strengthened this advantageous effects.
Temperature is regulated by this way, even promptly prevent irregular rudiment in the micro-crystallization of the material that cooling brought that dosage D sub-cooled is local or the material.
Upwards discharge along pipeline on the fluid section ground of delivering in the pipeline 310, and the bottom that partly is transported to die cavity, and therefrom along the upwards discharge of thin gap that between the surface of the outer surface of pipeline 310 and die cavity, forms.Figure 79 to 83 has shown that the device that utilizes in Figure 77 and 78 realizes is inserted into dose of polymer D a series of stages in the die cavity.
Insert device 300 and put into die cavity at first by this way, make the latter's axis overlap (Figure 79 and 80) substantially with the axis of pipeline 310.Then mould and distributor 10 vertically move relative to each other, so that pipeline 310 is set in the die cavity (Figure 81 and 82).
In illustrated embodiment, distributor 10 remains on the constant height, and has only mould vertically to move.Alternatively, distributor 10 can vertically move or two all move.Simultaneously, squeeze-up M moves forward along groove 130, then also moves along the bottom of vertical cavity 150, and finally move forward (Figure 80) along tubular wall 310.When the part of the squeeze-up M that puts 131 belows reaches preset length, shutoff device 14 is fallen, its intercepting squeeze-up M disconnects its end portion, and it defines dose of plastics D (Figure 81).Next (Figure 82) plastics fall along pipeline 310, up to the outlet 310b that arrives at the latter.At this moment, at dose of polymer D from the process left of outlet 310b, with pipeline 310 with dosage D with respect to the whereabouts motion of tubular wall basic identical and forms of motion that direction is opposite remove (Figure 83) from die cavity.
Pipeline 310 is fetched into the outside of die cavity fully thus, turns back to the original position (Figure 79) of the above-mentioned circulation that illustrates.
As real expectation, dose of polymer D follows current downflow to arrive the bottom of die cavity at pipeline 310 thus, and does not contact with the latter's side surface.
Be suitable for promoting the existence of several anti-bonding devices that dosage D flows along pipeline 310 to make the embodiment shown in Figure 84 different with the embodiment of front.
Pipeline 310 particularly its inner surface 320b is vibrated with certain frequency values, so that avoid or reduce bond effect between dosage and the inner surface 320b at least.In fact have been found that, utilize suitable vibration values, even material is a viscosity, even plastics have produced other bonding point of macro-level, also degree is very little and keep the very short time for these bonding points so, so the specific cohesive force between material and pipeline 310 walls is very little comparatively speaking.And, can suppose that vibration has formed the pressure wave system, the mode that itself and compressed air are equal to is taken on the compressed air that inserts between contact surface and the dosage.Other result of macro-level is that the bonding phenomenon between pipeline 310 and the dosage D has reduced greatly, make the latter along pipeline almost friction free flow.
In detail, in the embodiment shown in Figure 84, adopt vibration generating apparatus 55 in the upper end of pipeline 310, it is suitable for certain frequency values vibrating conduit 310, so that prevent as described above or reduce bond effect between dosage and the inner surface at least.By the vibration on the plane that acts on the vertical axis that is orthogonal to pipeline 310, can obtain extraordinary result, in the example of PET dosage frequency vibration with 300 pulse/sec.
Figure 85 to 89 has shown a series of stages of being carried out by the equipment among Figure 84 when dosage D is inserted in the die cavity.
Pipeline 310 is put into die cavity at first by this way, that is: make the axis of pipeline 310 overlap (Figure 85 and 86) substantially with the axis of die cavity.Then mould and distributor 10 vertically move relative to each other by this way, and the bottom of pipeline 310 is inserted in the mould (Figure 87 and 88).Distributor 10 remains on the constant height, and has only mould vertically to move.Yet be apparent that, alternatively distributor 10 can vertically move or two all removable.
Simultaneously, squeeze-up M moves forward along groove 130, then also moves along the bottom of vertical cavity 150, and finally move (Figure 86) along pipeline 310.When the part of the squeeze-up M that puts 131 belows reaches preset length, shutoff device 14 is descended, its intercepting squeeze-up M disconnects its end portion, and it defines doses of material D (Figure 87).
Next (Figure 88), material falls along tubular wall 310, up to the outlet 390 of arriving at the latter.At this moment, the process that the outlet 310b from pipeline 310 leaves, dosage D will with dosage with respect to the motion of the whereabouts of pipeline 310 identical and on the contrary to forms of motion remove (Figure 89) from die cavity.At last, pipeline 310 is fetched into the outside of die cavity completely, the original position (Figure 85) of the circulation shown in above turning back to.
Dose of polymer D follows current downflow to arrive the bottom of die cavity at pipeline 310 thus, and does not contact with the latter's side surface.
The upstream point of dosage D in tubular wall 310, by inserting pressure fluid, it flows and promotes outside dropping process and the dosage discharge line outlet 310b, thus the whereabouts that can promote dosage D.If described shutoff device 14 is provided with the quantity of material that is used for defining dosage D and separates from squeeze-up M downstream, can make shutoff device 14 by this way, make it be suitable at its rear surface supply pressure air.
Especially, after a certain amount of material of limiting dose D was disconnected from the downstream of the squeeze-up M that leaves groove 130, shutoff device 14 was from its rear surface dispense pressure air.For example work as equipment and be in the state shown in Figure 87.
The material that can only be used for removing from the head dosage D by the air-flow of the head of shutoff device 14 discharging.
Shown another embodiment in Figure 90, it is different from previous embodiment, because it provides and the disclosed dissimilar anti-bonding device in front, is used to promote flowing along the dosage D of pipeline 310.
In this case, pipeline 310 comprises the thin layer of undercoating 371, and its material has the anti-stick performance with respect to dosage D, PTFE (Teflon ) for example, and its inner surface defines the contact surface with dosage.
Yet in the embodiment shown in Figure 65 and 84, the lower surface 12 of the upper end of pipeline 310 and distributor 10 is directly fixing contiguously, among the embodiment in Figure 77, between the distribution outlet 11 of the inlet 310a of pipeline 310 and distributor 10, leave space 170, though pipeline 310 keeps being connected with device 10 each other, space 170 still can stay open state.
One of them function in this space 170 normally prevents the heat transmission that causes between the main body of distributor 10 and the pipeline 310.In fact, device 10 needs the high relatively temperature of maintenance, because must have low relatively viscosity at the plastics of latter's inter-process.Wish that thus pipeline 310 is carried out heat with respect to device 10 isolates, so that guarantee that the temperature of pipeline 310 is relatively low, this has just promoted flowing along the dosage of pipeline.
Another function in space 170 is exactly: the fluids that will utilize porous wall 320 to be inserted in the pipeline 310 are discharged, if particularly under the situation that this fluid is cooled, in case the temperature of distributor 10 bottoms that the excessive reduction fluid of fluid stopping body is contacted.
In addition, space 170 can be used for making blade to be parallel to lower surface 12 slip (not shown), and this blade is fractionated dose D from the material that flows along cavity 150, and it is the other selection of the shutoff device shown in Figure 65 and 84.
Figure 91 is different with the embodiment of front with the embodiment shown in 92 because the cooling to pipeline 310 is provided, with completely or partially reduce the bonding of dose of polymer D to the inner surface of pipeline 310.By reducing the temperature of contact surface, the temperature of dose of polymer has reduced at least outwardly, has increased its viscosity thus, and to be exactly plastics reduced to the bonding of contact-making surface the result.
According to illustrated embodiment, pipeline 310 comprises inner tubular wall 420, and its axial cavity defines the channel cavity of dose of polymer D, and its inner surface 420b defines the contact surface with dose of polymer D.Tubular wall 420 has the groove 440 that obtains on its exterior side surfaces, it is the form with the bifilar helix on the exterior side surfaces that is wrapped in tubular wall 420, and described bifilar helix has at two screw thread 450a of wall 420 upper ends and 450b.The lower end of these two helixes connects together by the connection circle 460 of the lower end of tubular wall 420.Below described circle 460, be provided with seal washer 500.
At last, the exterior side surfaces of wall 420 is around the outer lining 470 that thin adhesion is arranged, and it is as the outer wall of groove 440 and circle 460.Define the separately continuous closed section passage that on the thickness of pipeline 310, forms like this, it originates in screw thread 450a (perhaps 450b), drop to the terminal of wall 420 with spiral form, enter into another spiral through bottom circle 460, again rise to the upper end of wall 420 with spiral form, finally withdraw from from screw thread 450b (perhaps 450a).
Described passage is connected with the device (not shown) that is suitable for along this passage discharge pressure cooling fluid, makes the temperature of tubular wall be reduced to suitable value.480 cooling fluid supplied in this continuous passage by entering the mouth, and leave passage by exporting 490.
Inserting device 300 can combine with the suitable polymers dosage feedway that is different from the distributor 10 shown in Figure 65-91 arbitrarily, and it can be discharged into single dose of polymer in the porch of tubular wall 310 and insert in the device 300.For example, such feedway can be included in second of " hand " type of being called shown in Figure 38-40 and shifts or conveyer.
The modification that has shown second transfer device 30 in Figure 43 is used to shift the dose of plastics D that distributes from distributor 100, and distributor 100 comprises extrusion device 10 and fixed allocation outlet or port one 1.
