Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for forming a final container made of thermoplastic material by stretch blow molding from a preform whose body is heated beyond its glass transition temperature.
- the invention relates more particularly to a process for forming a final container made of thermoplastic material by stretch-blow molding from a preform whose body is heated beyond its glass transition temperature, the process comprising:
- a second free expansion step in the course of which a press forming fluid is injected into the preform so as to deform the hot body and during which a drawing rod is introduced axially into the preform so as to axially stretching the body axially spacing a bottom of the preform relative to the neck, the preform thus being shaped into an intermediate container in the form of a bubble;
- a third shaping step in the course of which at least a first part of the deformed wall of the preform comes into contact with at least one molding face to give the container its final shape, at least a second part of the deformed wall of the intermediate container not coming into contact with any molding face at least until the final container is cooled below its glass transition temperature.
- forming devices of this type make it possible to produce containers, such as bottles, from preforms made of thermoplastic material.
- preform in its initial form, the container will be called preform, in its intermediate form, the container will be called intermediate container, and in its final form, the container will be called final container.
- the body of the preform is preheated above its glass transition temperature to make the wall sufficiently malleable.
- the neck of the preform already has its final form.
- the material constituting the neck is maintained at a temperature below its glass transition temperature in order to avoid any deformation of the neck during the process.
- the preform thus heated is inserted into the mold cavity of a mold, the neck of the preform resting on an upper plate of the mold forming a support.
- the molding cavity has molding faces forming the impression of the final container.
- the molding faces are already in a molding position from the beginning of the process. The molding faces thus remain fixed relative to the support during the entire process.
- a blowing nozzle injects a forming fluid, generally air, under a first pressure into the preform so that the walls of the latter approach the faces of the mold cavity.
- This blowing operation is generally accompanied by a drawing operation during which a drawing rod is inserted into the preform to axially stretch the malleable walls of the body.
- a blowing fluid at a second higher pressure is then injected into the intermediate container to strongly press the entire deformed wall of the body against the fixed molding face.
- the contact with the fixed molding face cools the deformed wall below its glass transition temperature, thereby fixing the final shape of the final container.
- the mold is a massive element that is difficult to handle.
- the blowing fluid must be injected into the preform at very high pressures. This results in high energy consumption, especially during the production of containers in large series.
- the first injection pressure is for example of the order of 20 bars, while the second injection pressure is of the order of 40 bars.
- the invention proposes a method of the type described above, characterized in that the third step comprises an active conforming step during which at least one "moving" molding face is displaced relative to the support enter :
- a waiting position in which it is not in contact with the deformed wall of the body; and an extreme molding position in which it crushes a portion of the deformed wall of the body so as to reduce the volume of the intermediate container.
- At least two opposite molding faces are moved simultaneously towards one another in a radial direction so as to crush the body of the intermediate container, the two molding faces being radially spaced from each other in their extreme molding position so that the crushed wall portions do not come into contact with each other;
- the active shaping phase is triggered after the end of the injection of the press forming fluid into the container;
- the third step comprises a passive conformation phase, which precedes the active conforming phase, and during which the injection of press forming fluid started during the second step continues and during which part of the deformed wall of the intermediate container comes into contact with a so-called "fixed" molding face which is stationary relative to the support;
- the forming fluid is injected at a constant pressure of less than 20 bar;
- the forming fluid is injected at a pressure of less than 10 bar, in particular at a pressure of 5 bar;
- the exhaust flow of the forming fluid is controlled so that, at the end of the displacement of the movable molding face, the pressure inside the body remains sufficiently high to keep the deformed wall firmly pressed against the movable molding face for the necessary time the time required for cooling the walls below the glass transition temperature so that the wall retains the shape imparted by the molding face;
- the forming fluid escapes with a determined constant flow rate.
- the invention also relates to a device for implementing the method produced according to the teachings of the invention, the device comprising:
- a fixed support intended to receive the neck of the preform, means for blowing the forming fluid into the neck of the preform;
- At least one radially movable matrix which carries the movable molding face
- each mobile matrix comprises means for holding the moving face at a predetermined temperature.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a preform
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view which schematically represents a device for implementing the forming method according to the teachings of the invention
- FIG. 3 is a schematic axial sectional view which shows a first step of positioning the preform in the device of Figure 2;
- - Figure 4 is a view similar to that of Figure 3 which shows a second stretch-blow molding step of the preform
- - Figure 5 is a view similar to that of Figure 3 which shows a third forming step of the preform
- Figure 6 is a view similar to that of Figure 3 which shows a fourth ejection step of the final container.
- FIG. 1 shows a preform 10A made of a thermoplastic material, such as polyethylene terephthalate or "PET".
- the preform 10A is in the form of a vertical main "A" axis test tube. Its lower end is closed by a hemispherical bottom 12 while its upper end has an opening 14 which is delimited radially by a tubular collar 16 axis "A".
- the lower end of the neck 16 has a flange 18 which separates the upper neck 16 from a lower body 20 comprising the bottom 12.
- the body 20 of the preform 10A is intended to be shaped into a final container 10C, shown in Figure 7, by implementing a method which will be explained in more detail later.
- preform 10A "intermediate container 10B” and “final container 10C” refer to the same container according to its shape during the forming process.
- the neck 16 and the flange 18 of the preform 10A already have their final shape. In this respect, they will not be deformed during the implementation of the method.
- the preform 10A is generally obtained by an injection molding process of the thermoplastic material by the bottom 12.
- the bottom 12 comprises, at the injection site, an irregular point portion which will be called hereinafter "injection point 22 ".
- the material constituting the body 20, the neck 16 and the flange 18 of the preform 10A thus obtained has a so-called “amorphous” state, in which the material is rigid.
- the material goes into a "vitreous” state in which it has a soft and viscous consistency allowing its stretching.
- FIG. 2 There is shown in Figure 2 a device 24 for implementing a forming process of the final container 10C from the preform 10A.
- the device 24 comprises a support 26 which will serve for the fixed reference sequence.
- the support 26 is intended to receive the neck 16 of the preform 10A.
- the preform 10A is shown in broken lines.
- the support 26 is a horizontal plate which has a circular orifice 28 in which is inserted the body 20 of the preform 10A.
- the diameter of the orifice 28 is smaller than the outside diameter of the collar 18 so that the flange 18 is supported on the upper face of the support 26 while the body 20 of the preform extends freely under the support 26.
- the support 26 is divided into two parts that can be spaced transversely from one another.
- the line of joint between the two parts intersects the orifice 28 in two equal halves. This ensures the ejection of the final container 10C at the end of the process, the final shape of the body 20 does not allow its passage through the orifice 28 when the two parts are assembled.
- the support is formed by a clamp or by any other means capable of holding the neck fixed during the process while leaving the body of the preform free.
- the device 24 also comprises means 30 for blowing a press forming fluid into the neck 16 of the preform 10A.
- the blowing means 30 are thus equipped with a nozzle 32 which has a nose 34 which is arranged coaxially with the axis "A" of the preform 10A when the latter is in position on the support 26.
- the nozzle 32 is slidably mounted between an upper rest position, shown in Figure 2, to allow the positioning or withdrawal of the preform 10A, and a lower blowing position, shown in Figure 3, wherein the nose 34 of the nozzle 32 is connected to sealingly with the opening 14 of the neck 16.
- the nose 34 here has a bell shape which is intended to encompass the neck 16.
- the lower edge of the bell is intended to be applied in a sealed manner against the upper face of the support 26.
- the nose is intended to be inserted in a sealed manner in the neck in the manner of a plug.
- the nozzle 32 is connected to a controlled source 36 of pressurized fluid.
- the fluid is for example formed by compressed air at 5 bar.
- a vertical drawing rod 38 is mounted vertically sliding in the nozzle 34, coaxially with the axis "A" of the preform 10A when the latter is positioned on the support 26.
- the drawing rod 38 has a free lower end 40 which is intended to be inserted into the preform 10A by its neck 16 as will be explained in more detail later. The sliding of the rod 38 is thus controlled between a retracted upper position and an extended lower end position.
- the controlled means for moving the drawing rod 38 are already well known and will not be described. This is for example a piston or a linear motor.
- the device 24 further comprises two transversely movable matrixes 42 which are mounted beneath the support 26, at the body 20 of the preform 10A positioned on the support 26.
- Each matrix carries a movable molding face 44 which extends globally. in a vertical longitudinal plane.
- the movable molding faces 44 are arranged vis-à-vis one another, transversely on either side of the axis "A".
- the matrices 42 are transversely controlled in translation between:
- the dies 42 are for example controlled in displacement by pistons of which only a push rod is shown.
- the pistons are replaced by linear electric motors.
- the device 24 also comprises a molding face 46 which is arranged under the support 26, at the right of the orifice 28.
- This molding face 46 here has a shape of longitudinal edge. It is carried by a wedge 48 of prismatic shape with a triangular base whose axis extends longitudinally.
- the wedge 48 can be moved in vertical translation between an upper position of use, shown for example in Figure 3, and a lower rest position (not shown). This allows in particular to facilitate the ejection of the final container 10C at the end of the process by removing the corner 48 of the final container 10C.
- the wedge 48 is intended to occupy its position of use during the forming steps of the forming process.
- the molding face 46 carried by the wedge 48 will be qualified hereafter and in the claims of face 46 fixed molding because it is the deformed wall of the intermediate container 10B which is intended to move to come into contact with the fixed face 46 of molding.
- the method of forming the final container 10C made of thermoplastic material by stretch-blow molding from a preform 10A with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6 is described. This forming method is implemented by the device 24 previously described.
- a first step “E1" for positioning the preform 10A thus heated is shown in FIG. 3.
- the nozzle 32 and the wedge 48 each occupy their rest position, while the dies 42 occupy their position. 'waiting.
- the orifice 28 of the support 26 is thus accessible to receive the preform 10A.
- the two parts of the support 26 are separated to receive the preform 10A, then the two parts are closed.
- a second free expansion step “E2" of the body 20 of the preform 10A is triggered, as illustrated in FIG. 4.
- the press forming fluid is then injected via the nozzle 32 with a constant pressure into the preform 10A during a blowing operation.
- the pressure inside the body 20 of the preform 10A then becomes greater than the pressure outside the body 20.
- the material constituting the walls of the body 20 being in a "vitreous" state, this pressure difference causes an expansion of the body 20 by deformation of its wall which stretches in the form of a bubble.
- the neck 16 and the collar 18 of the preform 10A remain rigid, which allows them to be held in a fixed position on the support 26.
- the forming fluid is injected at a pressure of less than 20 bar, more advantageously less than 10 bar, in particular at a pressure of 5 bar.
- the pressure of the forming fluid is constant throughout the blowing operation.
- the pressure of the blowing fluid varies with time so as to improve the shaping repeatability.
- the preform 10A also undergoes a drawing operation.
- the stretching rod 38 is introduced axially into the preform 10A through its neck 16 so as to stretch the body axially by pushing the bottom 12 of the preform 10A downwards relative to the neck 16 which remains. fixed. This makes it possible to vertically stretch the material constituting the wall, especially in an area located just below the collar 18.
- the preform 10A is then shaped into an intermediate container 10B whose body 20 forms a bubble.
- This second step “E2" of free expansion continues as long as the outer face of the wall of the body 20 of the intermediate container 10B does not come into contact with any face.
- the wall of the body 20 is deformed freely, that is to say without contact with a molding face.
- drawing operation is likely to start slightly before or after the start of the blowing operation, the essential point being that these two operations overlap so as to obtain a simultaneous stretching of the material in both directions .
- a third "E3" shaping step is then triggered.
- this third step "E3" at least a first portion 50, 52 of the deformed wall of the body 20 enters into contact with at least one face 44, 46 of molding to give the container 10C its final shape.
- This third step “E3” is broken down here into a first phase “E3-1” passive conforming, as shown in Figure 5, and a second phase “E3-2" of active shaping, as shown in Figure 6.
- the bottom portion 50 corresponds to the bottom 12 of the preform 10A and thus comprises the injection point 22.
- the bottom portion 50 contacts the fixed casting face 46, while the remainder of the body 20 continues its free expansion on either side of the wedge 48.
- the bottom portion 50 which touches the fixed casting face 46 is cooled below its glass transition temperature "Tg", thereby fixing the shape of the impression of said fixed molding face 46.
- the dies 42 still occupy their waiting position in which the moving faces 44 of molding are not in contact with the deformed wall of the body 20, as shown in FIG. figure 5.
- the dies 42 are then simultaneously controlled to their extreme molding position in which the movable molding faces 44 crush transversely the deformed wall of the body 20 so as to reduce the volume of the bubble.
- the faces 44 thus come into contact with opposite side portions 52 of the deformed wall of the body 20.
- the displacement of the dies 42 is fast enough that the material constituting the lateral portions 52 undergo stretching without tearing.
- the pressurized forming fluid contained in the container 10B is discharged with a determined flow rate which is controlled for example by a valve (not shown) exhaust.
- the forming fluid escapes through the nozzle 32.
- the exhaust flow of the forming fluid is controlled so that the pressure inside the body remains high enough to maintain the deformed wall firmly pressed against the molding face for the time necessary for the wall to retain the shape imparted by the molding face.
- the pressure inside the preform decreases slowly, or even increases before going down, so as to allow the wall portions 50, 52 in contact with the molding faces 44, 46 to strongly fix the impression of the molding faces.
- the plating of the wall portions 50, 52 against the molding faces 44, 46 is thus maintained for the time necessary for the cooling of the walls below the glass transition temperature "Tg".
- the exhaust flow rate is here fixed at a constant value, for example by a valve or by a passage restriction, so as to be less than the speed of volume variation of the container when the body 20 is crushed between the two dies 42 .
- At least a second part 54, called “free" of the deformed wall of the final container 10C does not come into contact with any molding face at least until the temperature of the body drops below its temperature “Tg "vitreous transition.
- the free second portion 54 never comes into contact with a molding face.
- This container has two flat flanks 52 corresponding to the lateral portions 52 in contact with the movable faces 44 for molding the dies.
- a lower bottom 50 of the final container has a convex fold shape whose edge corresponds to the bottom portion 50 which has been in contact with the fixed casting face 46.
- the vertical dimension between the bottom 50 and the neck 16 is controlled during the process by the presence of the corner 48.
- the vertical sides 54 of the container corresponding to the second parts 54 remained free, connect the two sides 52 between them. These sides 54 are the wall portions that have not been in contact with molding faces.
- Tg glass transition temperature
- thermoplastic material constituting the final container 10C has a sufficient elasticity to allow the folds of the sides 54 and the bottom 50 to form bellows which are capable of allowing a transverse spacing of the two sides 52 with respect to each other when the 10C container is filled with liquid.
- Such a container 10C thus forms a flexible pouch whose neck 16 is made integral with the body 20.
- This pouch is intended to receive liquid or viscous products that can be ejected by pressing the flanks 52 one against each other.
- the neck 16 is advantageously provided with a thread which makes it possible to cap the container 10C with a plug (not shown), thus allowing it to be closed.
- the forming fluid is injected at a very low pressure into the preform 10A with respect to the pressures normally required for blow molding.
- corner 50 can also be equipped with similar temperature maintenance means. These means thus make it possible to maintain the faces 44, 48 of molding at a temperature suitable for forming the container, particularly when the containers are made in high frequency series.
- this method makes it possible to obtain a flexible pouch-shaped container which is made in one piece with its neck.
- the method can be used to make containers with different shapes of a pocket.
- the method can implement more than two movable molding faces that are not necessarily arranged vis-à-vis each other.
- this method saves material compared to already known forming methods.
- the conventional containers made according to methods of the state of the art must be rigid and they therefore have a relatively thick wall.
- the flexible pouch obtained by the method according to the invention can be made with walls finer than conventional containers, which allows a saving of material not insignificant.
