Definitions
- the invention relates to the manufacture of containers from plastic blanks such as PET.
- blanks such as PET.
- the term "blank” is used here to refer to both a preform and an intermediate container which has undergone a first blow and intended to undergo a second one in order to obtain the final container.
- the manufacturing operations of the containers comprise, in known manner, a heating operation in which the preforms are exposed to the infrared radiation of lamps or diodes of a scroll oven in which the preforms transit.
- a heating operation in which the preforms are exposed to the infrared radiation of lamps or diodes of a scroll oven in which the preforms transit.
- they are hung by their neck to rotary lines called "spinners".
- each preform is introduced hot into a mold where it undergoes high pressure blowing, possibly doubled by stretching by means of an elongation rod.
- Preform heating also known as thermal conditioning, is a delicate operation because of the importance of the temperature of the material for subsequent blowing or stretch blow molding operations.
- the average temperature of the preform must be greater than the glass transition temperature of the material of which it is made (approximately 80 ° C. for PET), so as to allow a bi-orientation of the material during blowing. or stretch-blow molding, while being lower than a temperature (about 140 0 C for the PET) beyond which the material presents risks of crystallization which would make the preform unsuitable for blowing.
- the temperature distribution within the preform itself affects the quality of the final container, and in particular its transparency and the distribution of the material in the body and the bottom of the container.
- the temperature distribution has several aspects: the r circumference of the blank (that is to say angularly around the main axis of the blank) axially (that is to say parallel to the axis), and in the thickness of its wall. Owing to the rotation of the preforms during heating, the circumferential distribution of the temperature is generally uniform, although for certain useful applications it is possible to obtain a non-uniform circumferential distribution (see, for example, French patent no. FR 2,703,944 or its US equivalent No. 5,681,522).
- the invention aims in particular to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, by proposing a solution for measuring with increased reliability the wall temperature of a preform.
- the invention proposes, in a first aspect, a method for measuring the wall temperature of a container blank, which comprises the operations of:
- It can be provided to perform a single temperature measurement on the inner wall of the blank, or several simultaneous temperature measurements at different heights on the inner wall of the blank.
- an additional operation may be provided, temperature measurement (s) on an outer wall of the blank, performed simultaneously with the or each temperature measurement (s) performed on the inner wall, at the same level than that (s).
- the invention also proposes, according to a second aspect, a device for measuring the internal wall temperature of a container blank, comprising a non-contact temperature measurement unit mounted movably along a circuit comprising a useful section. coinciding locally with a roughing path and a buffer section spaced apart from said path, said measuring unit being movably mounted between a holding position, adopted in the buffer section of the circuit remote from the blank, and a measuring position , adopted in the useful section of the circuit and wherein the unit of measurement is at least partially introduced into the blank to make a non-contact temperature measurement of an inner wall of the blank.
- This device is adapted to the implementation of the measurement method presented above.
- the measuring unit comprises for example a probe provided with a tubular body in which is mounted a collection element of infrared radiation emitted by the inner wall of the blank, an infrared sensor remote from the collection element, and a waveguide for transmitting the collected radiation to the sensor.
- the probe comprises a head surmounting the body and in which the infrared sensor is mounted.
- the body of the probe is for example provided with a side window
- the collecting element is for example a mirror disposed in the body at a lower end of the waveguide, opposite the window, this mirror being inclined relative to a main axis of the body to return infrared radiation at right angles in the waveguide.
- the waveguide it can be formed by a reflective coating lining an inner wall of the body of the probe. Alternatively, it is an optical fiber.
- the measurement unit may include a plurality of collection elements distributed over the height of the body, a plurality of sensors remote from the collection elements, and a plurality of waveguides between the collection elements and the sensors, so as to perform several simultaneous measurements at different levels in the blank and thus have a profile of the internal temperature of the blank on at least a portion of the height thereof.
- the device comprises a plurality of measurement units mounted movable along the same circuit, so as to perform several simultaneous measurements of temperatures on several blanks.
- the invention proposes a measuring system comprising a device for measuring an internal wall temperature of a blank as presented above, supplemented with a device for measuring a wall temperature. outer portion of the blank comprising an external wall temperature measurement unit mounted movable in synchronism with a unit for measuring the internal wall temperature, for simultaneous measurement of temperature (s) at the same level on the inner walls and external of a blank.
- the invention proposes a machine for manufacturing containers from plastic blanks, which comprises a measuring device or a measuring system as presented above.

- Figure 7 is a diagram showing two temperature distributions in the wall of a preform, following an ordinary profile, and in an optimized profile.
- FIG. 1 a machine 1 for manufacturing containers 2 from preforms 3 of plastic such as PET.
- This machine 1 comprises a heating unit 4, also called “oven” for convenience, a molding unit 5 provided with molds mounted on a carousel (shown schematically in the form of a cylinder), and a transfer wheel 6 arranged in a upstream of the molding unit 5 to feed it into hot preforms 3 at a predetermined rate.
- a heating unit 4 also called “oven” for convenience
- a molding unit 5 provided with molds mounted on a carousel (shown schematically in the form of a cylinder)
- a transfer wheel 6 arranged in a upstream of the molding unit 5 to feed it into hot preforms 3 at a predetermined rate.
- the preforms 3 are conveyed through the oven 4 to be heated prior to the blowing or stretching operations taking place within the molding unit 5.
- the oven 4 is equipped with lamps or diodes radiating in the infrared at a predetermined power and spectrum.
- the power and the spectrum of the radiation are controlled by means of a controller not shown.
- the lamps or the diodes cover a wall 7 of the oven 4, an opposite wall 8 providing at least partial reflection of the radiation to optimize heating.
- Each preform 3 is attached to a rotating hanger 9, also called a spinning device, which comprises a finger 10 fitted into the neck 11 of the preform 3, as well as a pinion meshing with a fixed chain running along the path followed by the preforms within 4, so as to ensure a substantially uniform rotation of the preform 3 during its heating.
- a rotating hanger 9 also called a spinning device
- conveying preforms 3 can indifferently be insured neck up (as in the example shown) or neck down.
- the preforms 3 are heated in such a way that they present at the inlet of the molding unit 5 an average temperature greater than the glass transition temperature of the material (ie about 80 ° C. for PET).
- the quality of the final container depends to a large extent on the quality of the heating, if one excludes the intrinsic defects of the preforms 3, which can not usually be erased from the manufacturing process, but which remain relatively rare.
- a non-optimized heating of the preforms 3 can cause, at least, defects in the shape of the final containers, or even inadaptation of the preforms 3 to the blowing.
- a too low temperature of the preform 3 can induce on the final container the appearance of pearlescence (beaded appearance) whitish, consequence of an overstretching of the preform 3 causing the molecular level breakage of long polymerized chains.
- an excessively high temperature of the preform 3 may cause spherulitic crystallization of the material, rendering the preform 3 unsuitable for blowing.
- one of the essential parameters to take into account to ensure the success of the blowing or stretching is the temperature distribution in the thickness of the preform 3.
- the ordinary temperature profile generally has a strong gradient between the inner wall 12 and the outer wall 13, with a comparatively higher temperature on the outer wall 13, as shown in the diagram of FIG. 7, in which x denotes the thickness of the preform 3.
- the inventors have found that the final container has good visual and structural qualities (in particular good transparency with a relatively homogeneous thickness) if the temperature distribution has an optimized profile as shown in the diagram of FIG. 7: low gradient between internal wall and outer wall, comparatively higher temperature in inner wall.
- the control of this distribution can be achieved by adjusting various parameters of the machine 1 associated with the heating, in particular: the ventilation setpoint (cooling) of the preforms 3, the thermal stabilization time of the preforms 3, the exposure time of the preforms 3 to the radiation, and the speed of rotation of the preforms 3 on themselves. These adjustments are made manually or automatically on the basis of temperature measurements made on the preforms 3 at the outlet of the oven, under the conditions that will now be described.
- the machine 1 comprises a device 14 for measuring the temperature of the inner wall 12 of the preforms 3 coming out of the oven 4.
- the device 14 comprises a plurality of measurement units mounted movable on a closed loop circuit 16 extending along the path 17 (in this case substantially linear) of the preforms 3 at the outlet of the furnace 4.
- the circuit 16 comprises a section 18, which coincides locally with the path 17 of the preforms 3, and in which the measurement units are coupled to the preforms 3 which they accompany over a predetermined distance to take the temperature measurement, and a buffer section 19, separated from the path 17 of the preforms 3, in which the measuring units 15 are uncoupled from the preforms for recirculation accompanied by thermal reconditioning (i.e., in practice, a cooling device). free or forced, for example by means of ventilation) in order to perform the following temperature measurement.
- thermal reconditioning i.e., in practice, a cooling device.
- Each measuring unit comprises a tubular probe 20, intended to be introduced into a preform 3 through a bore 21 made in the finger 10 of the spinner 9, in order to perform in the preform 3 a temperature measurement on the inner wall. 12 of it.
- the probe 20 comprises a hollow cylindrical body 22 extending along a principal axis A (oriented vertically) and surmounted by a head 23 in which is mounted, at the junction with the body 22 at an upper end thereof, a infrared sensor 24 coupled to a signal processing electronics (not shown).
- the measurement unit 15 is a single-sensor, the body 22 of the probe forming a waveguide formed by a cylindrical internal wall lined with a reflective coating.
- a mirror 26 is mounted in the body 22 at a distance from the sensor 24, at a lower end of the guide 25 wave.
- the mirror 26 is disposed at and facing a window 27 formed in the body 22 and is inclined, with respect to the axis A, by an angle of approximately 45 °, so that a light wave penetrating through the window 27 perpendicular to the axis A of the body is collected by the mirror 26 and reflected by the latter substantially parallel to the axis A towards the sensor 24.
- This configuration makes it possible to take a temperature measurement at a single altitude on the inner wall 12 of the preform.
- the angle of inclination of 45 ° of the mirror 26 is here given by way of example, the return of the right-angle wave corresponding to a greater architectural simplicity of the measurement unit.
- the measurement unit 15 is multi-sensor, the probe 20 comprising several sensors associated with several windows 27 made at different heights in the body 22 to allow several temperature taps (preferably simultaneous) on the inner wall 12 of the preform 3, at different heights.
- the general structure of the probe 20 may be derived from that of the single-sensor unit described above, with a plurality of mirrors disposed opposite the windows and separately connected to their respective sensors by means of separate infrared waveguides. extending in parallel with the axis A of the body 22.
- the transmission of the infrared signal can be carried out by means of connecting optical fibers, infrared detectors mounted opposite the windows, and remote sensors located in the head 23 to relay the signal to the processing electronics. It should be noted that the measurements are not necessarily specific, but may target localized areas with an area of a few mm 2 at most.
- the useful section 18 extends between a coupling zone 28, where the measurement units are introduced vertically into the preforms 3, and an uncoupling zone 29, where the units 15 are removed from the preforms 3.
- the predetermined length of the useful section on which the measurements are made is chosen according to several parameters, including the reactivity of the measurement unit (as a function of its thermal inertia and the performance of the sensor 24, particularly its integration time, that is the time interval between the capturing of the signal by the photosites of the sensor 24 and the conversion of the received signal into digital data), the running speed of the preforms 3, and their rotational speed.
- the measurement will be performed on a complete turn of the preform 3, so as to have the internal wall temperature profile 12 over the entire circumference of the preform 3.
- the measurement units 15 are fixed in rotation, and retain their radial orientation during their displacement, which is consequently carried out by pure translation along their circuit 16. If the section 18 useful follows locally 17 followed by the preforms 3, the buffer section 19 has a form and a length independent of this path 17. In the illustrated example, which is not limiting in nature, the circuit 16 has an oblong profile (substantially racetrack shaped).
- Each measurement unit 15 is fixed on a support 34 mounted vertically sliding (for example by means of a cam or, as represented in FIG. 5, of a jack 35) and moving along the circuit 16, between: a standby position (or high position in the illustrated configuration where the preforms 3 are conveyed neck up), adopted by the measuring unit in the buffer section 19, in which the unit 15 extends above preforms 3 (more precisely above a plane containing an upper face of the fingers 10 of the rollers 9, a measurement position (or low position in the configuration illustrated in particular in FIG. 5), adopted by the unit 15 in the useful section 18, in which the unit 15 extends at the level of the preforms 3 to enable the temperature to be taken up on the internal wall 12.
- each measuring unit is brought tangentially to the vertical of a preform 3 and passes quickly (in a fraction of a second) from its waiting position to its measuring position, the probe 20 being introduced into the preform 3 to make the internal wall temperature measurement 12.
- the probe 20 remains in the preform for a predetermined time throughout the useful section 18 by taking the temperature, before being removed in the zone 29 of uncoupling by a reverse movement from that described above.
- the probe 20 Since the probe 20 has undergone heating due to its prolonged exposure to the hot atmosphere prevailing in the preform 3, it may be desirable to subject it to thermal reconditioning along the buffer section 19. This thermal reconditioning can be free, that is to say that the ambient air in which the device is bathed
- each measuring unit 15 is not introduced into the preform 3, a heating of the sensor 24 can not be excluded because of the ascending hot air flow accompanying each preform 3, due to thermal convection phenomena. It should be noted that, given its thermal inertia, heating of the sensor 24 is brought to stabilize after starting or restarting production. It may be beneficial to take advantage of the warming of the sensor 24 by not promoting its cooling along the buffer section 19, so as to accelerate its responsiveness during the next measurement.
- the measurements made are stored in order to feed a feedback program implemented in a central machine parameter control unit, in order to act on various parameters already mentioned above: heating temperature, ventilation setpoint, scrolling speed, speed of rotation of the preforms .
- the machine 1 can be equipped with an additional device 31 for measuring the temperature of the outer wall 13 of the preforms 3, which comprises a plurality of measuring units 32 mounted movable on a closed loop circuit extending along the way
- each measurement unit 32 comprises a single sensor 33 arranged to make a temperature measurement on the outer wall 13 of the preform 3 at the same level as the internal temperature measurement, so as to have, in addition to an absolute temperature measurement, an evaluation of the temperature difference between internal wall 12 and outer wall 13.
- the internal and external measurements are made at the same level, that is to say at the same cylindrical coordinates on the preform 3 (same height and at the same angle).
- the internal and external sensors 33 are preferably fixed on the same support 34, so as to ensure perfect coincidence of the measurement axes, as well as a synchronized displacement of the sensors 24 and 33 in the vertical direction.
- each measuring unit 32 comprises a series of sensors 33 arranged vertically to make temperature taps on the outer wall 13 of the preform 3 at the same levels as the internal temperature taps. , so as to have, in addition to a plurality of temperatures at different heights in the preform 3, corresponding temperature differences between the inner wall 12 and the outer wall 13.
- a thermal reconditioning such as that mentioned above may be provided for the external temperature measurement units 32, whose sensors 33 also have a tendency to heat up near the preforms 3 when taking temperature.
- heating of the external sensors 33 can be better controlled than that of the internal sensors, insofar as it is possible to freely adjust the distance to the preform 3. It is thus possible to choose sensors 33, such as cameras thermal, having sufficient focusing distances to limit heating.
- a sensor type OPTRIS® CT Laser model G5LCF3 (French specifications available online on the link www.optris.de/fr/pdfs/CTIaser.pdf) will be suitable for this purpose, with a focusing distance of 200 mm for a light spot diameter of about 2.9 mm.
- the device 14 for measuring the internal temperature possibly coupled to the external measuring device 31 to form a global temperature measurement system, making it possible to carry out on the preforms 3 a systematic temperature measurement without sampling, without affecting the manufacturing process, and in particular without affecting the production rate.
- the dual temperature measurement internal and external
- the delta thus obtained is a representative quantity of the quality of the heating and makes it possible to better adjust the machine parameters so as to obtain the desired heating profile.
- the preforms are rotated at the outlet of the furnace, in the same manner as within it.
- the machine 1 does not include means for rotating the preforms 3 at the outlet of the oven 4, it may appear necessary to provide means for rotating the units 15 for measuring the internal temperature, so as to obtain a temperature profile on the internal (and possibly external) circumference of the preform 3.
- the measuring unit 15 can be configured to jointly perform temperature measurements on the inner wall 12 and on the wall 13 external.
- it may be configured as a jumper, and have an internal probe and an external probe connected to a common head equipped with sensors for each probe.
