  However, the horizontal tie bar becomes an interference member in the work at the time of attaching / detaching the blow cavity split mold and maintenance, and the workability is deteriorated.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an injection stretch blow molding apparatus that eliminates the need for a horizontal tie bar and eliminates an interference member at the time of attachment / detachment of a blow cavity split mold or maintenance, and is easy to work.

  The present invention relates to an injection stretch blow molding apparatus having at least an injection molding section and a stretch blow molding section, and having a rotating plate that intermittently conveys a neck mold arranged corresponding to each molding section to each molding section. A lower base that is fixed on the machine base and that forms a molding space of each molding portion with the rotary plate; and an upper base that is disposed above the lower base and supports the rotary plate; A vertical mold clamping means for raising and lowering the upper base with respect to the lower base, and a horizontal mold for horizontally clamping two blow cavity split molds to the neck mold lowered by the vertical mold clamping means A fastening unit, and a blow unit base board supported by the lower base by the stretch blow molding portion and mounting the horizontal mold fastening means, the blow unit base board horizontally extending along two opposing sides Arrangement The two bottom members and two side members rising vertically from both ends of the two bottom members, and having a C-shaped frame structure having an upward opening. Two mold clamping plates for respectively fixing two blow cavity split molds, two first electric motors supported by the blow unit base board, and the two first electric motors as references It has two horizontal clamping toggle mechanisms that are expanded and contracted and are respectively pin-coupled to the two clamping plates.

  In the present invention, the rigidity of the two side members is enhanced by the blow unit base board having a C-type frame structure. Even if the two horizontal clamping toggle mechanisms are expanded and contracted by the two second electric motors using the two side members as a reference, the deformation of the two side members can be reduced. Even if the two side members are deformed, the two clamping plates are rotatably pin-coupled to the two toggle mechanisms, so that the two blow cavity split molds may be opened during the blowing operation. Absent.

  In the present invention, a horizontal tie barless horizontal clamping mechanism can be realized by adopting a C-shaped frame structure. Since there is no horizontal tie bar, there is no interference member at the time of attaching / detaching the blow cavity split mold or maintenance, and the work becomes easy.

  In the present invention, each of the two horizontal clamping toggle mechanisms includes a first screw shaft that is rotated by a rotation output from one of the two first electric motors, and a first screw shaft that meshes with the first screw shaft. 1 nut portion, one end of which is pin-coupled to the two mold clamping plates, and the other end of which is pin-coupled to the first nut portion, and one end between the pin coupling positions of both ends of the drive arm. A driven arm that is pin-coupled to the drive arm at a position and the other end is pin-coupled to one of the two side members.

  According to this structure, in the two horizontal mold clamping toggle mechanisms, the mold is clamped when the drive arm is disposed horizontally by the first screw shaft, and the mold is opened and closed when the drive arm is tilted.

  In the present invention, the one end of the driven arm can be pin-coupled at a midpoint between pin coupling positions on both ends of the drive arm.

  In this way, it is possible to achieve horizontal clamping by minimizing the load on the first electric motor.

  In the present invention, horizontal guide means for horizontally moving and guiding the two mold clamping plates can be arranged on the lower end side of the two mold clamping plates.

  The horizontal guide means can ensure the horizontal movement of the two clamping plates while maintaining the horizontal tie barless structure.

  In the present invention, it may further include a blow unit position adjusting mechanism that adjusts a height position by driving the blow unit base board up and down relative to the lower base.

  In both the injection molding part and the stretch blow molding part, a mold that is clamped with respect to the neck mold attached to the rotating plate is arranged. For this reason, the injection molding part and the stretch blow molding part are arranged in a molding space between the upper base holding the rotating plate and the lower base and the upper base below, and the height between the lower base and the upper base is set. Take the constraints together. In the present invention, the blow unit base board arranged in the stretch blow molding section is driven up and down by the blow unit position adjusting mechanism, and the height position is variable. Therefore, the blow molding space height defined by the blow unit base board and the upper base can be varied independently of the molding space height between the lower base and the upper base. For this reason, the height of the blow cavity split mold can be designed independently of the injection mold, and the degree of freedom in design is increased.

  In the present invention, a blow bottom mold fixing plate may be connected to the blow unit base board. When a blow bottom mold is used separately from the blow cavity split mold, the position of the blow bottom mold can also be adjusted integrally with the blow unit base board.

  In the present invention, the saddle clamp mechanism can be an electric drive instead of a hydraulic drive. To this end, the injection stretch blow molding apparatus of the present invention connects the upper base and the traction plate through the lower base and the traction plate disposed in the machine base below the lower base. A plurality of tie bars, a saddle-type fastening toggle mechanism that is disposed in the machine base and expands and contracts with the lower base as a reference position to raise and lower the traction plate, and transmits a driving force to the saddle-type fastening toggle mechanism And a second electric motor.

  In this case, the upper base is clamped by the traction bar in the machine base via the plurality of tie bars, so that it is not necessary to dispose a large hook clamping mechanism above the upper base.

  In the present invention, an electric motor fixing plate for attaching a third electric motor for clamping an injection core mold is disposed above the upper base, and the electric motor fixing plate is expanded and contracted by the third electric motor with the electric motor fixing plate as a reference position. An injection core mold clamping toggle mechanism for clamping the injection core mold is provided, and the electric motor fixing plate, the upper base, and the traction plate are fixed to the plurality of tie bars, and can be moved up and down integrally. it can.

  In this way, the distance between the motor fixing plate that moves up and down integrally and the upper base is kept constant, and the injection core mold clamping stroke can be minimized.

  In the present invention, the vertical clamping toggle mechanism is disposed below the injection molding part, one of the upper base and the traction plate is a movable part, and one of the lower base and the machine base is a fixed part. In this case, the stretch blow-molded part maintains a constant distance between the movable part and the fixed part when the mold is clamped by the saddle mold clamping means, above the stretch blow-molded part. There may be provided a restricting means for restricting the height position of the upper base.

  If the scissor clamping means is eccentrically arranged on the injection molding part side, the scissor clamping at the stretch blow molding part has to rely on the clamping force of a plurality of tie bars. As described above, since the mold is not directly clamped in the stretch blow molding portion, the upper base may be lifted by the reaction force of the eccentric driving force of the clamp clamping or the blow air pressure. The restricting means keeps the distance between the movable part and the fixed part at the time of clamping the vertical mold, so that the upper base can be prevented from being lifted.

  In the present invention, the restricting means includes a shaft portion that hangs down from the fixed portion, a wedge-shaped member that is inserted and removed between a lower end of the shaft portion and the traction plate, and a drive unit that drives the wedge-shaped member. Can have.

  By inserting a wedge-shaped member between the lower end of the shaft portion and the traction plate, the distance between the traction plate and the fixed portion is fixed, so that the upper base is prevented from being lifted when the vertical mold is clamped.

  In the present invention, horizontal synchronizing means for horizontally moving the traction plate is disposed in the machine base, and the horizontal synchronizing means is arranged on the lower base on the injection molding part side and the stretch blow molding part side. A plurality of racks each hanging downward, and supported on a shaft disposed between the injection molding part and the stretch blow molding part on the traction plate, and each of the racks It can have a plurality of meshing pinions.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. The present embodiment described below does not unduly limit the contents of the present invention described in the claims, and all the configurations described in the present embodiment are indispensable as means for solving the present invention. Not always.

(Overview of the entire device)
1 and 2 are a side view and a plan view showing an injection stretch blow molding apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention. Although all the molds are omitted in FIG. 1, the neck mold, the injection core mold, the injection cavity mold, the hot runner mold, the temperature control pot, the blow core mold, the blow cavity mold, and the like in this embodiment are patent documents. The driving method is the same as that of FIG. In other words, all of the hydraulic drive employed in Patent Document 8 is replaced with an electric motor and a toggle mechanism in this embodiment. As a result, the injection stretch blow molding apparatus of this embodiment is driven by an electric motor and an air cylinder (hereinafter abbreviated as a cylinder).

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the injection stretch blow molding apparatus 10 includes a machine base 12, a lower base 14, an upper base 16, a traction plate 18, and an electric motor fixing plate 20. The traction plate 18 and the motor fixing plate 20 are connected and fixed by a plurality of, for example, four tie bars 22 (only four tie bar positions are shown in FIG. 1) penetrating the lower base 14.

  The machine base 12 has a box shape with an internal cavity, and the injection device 24 is attached to one side of the upper surface thereof. The lower base 14 is fixed to the upper surface on the other side of the machine base 12.

  The upper base 16 is disposed above the lower base 14 at a predetermined distance from the lower base 14 and supports a rotating plate 26 on the lower surface side in a rotatable manner.

  Further, the upper base 16 is connected and fixed to a midway position between the two tie bars 22 on the injection device 24 side and the upper ends of the two tie bars 22 on the opposite side to the injection device 24.

  The space between the lower base 14 and the rotating plate 26 is used as a molding space. As shown in FIG. 2, the injection molding unit 30 is located on the injection device 24 side, the stretch blow molding unit 32 is located at the opposite position, and the injection molding unit. A temperature control unit 34 and an extraction unit 36 are provided at positions on a line that intersects 90 degrees with the line connecting 30 and the stretch blow molding unit 32.

  Although omitted in FIG. 1, in the injection molding unit 30, an injection cavity mold is mounted on the lower base 14 via a hot runner mold that always makes nozzle contact with the injection device 24 during operation.

  In the stretch blow molding section 32, two blow cavity split molds (see reference numerals 294A and 294B in FIG. 18) are attached to two mold clamping plates 42 that are opened and closed and clamped by two blow mold clamping toggle mechanisms 40, which are necessary. Thus, a blow bottom mold (see reference numeral 296 in FIG. 18) is arranged.

  In the temperature control unit 34, a temperature control pot (not shown) is fixed on the lower base 14. If necessary, the temperature control core may be arranged on the upper base so as to be movable up and down.

  FIG. 3 is a plan view of the rotating plate 26. The rotating plate 26 is provided with neck-type mounting plate mounting portions 50 at four locations corresponding to the injection molding portion 30, the temperature control portion 34, the stretch blow molding portion 32, and the take-out portion 36. Each attachment portion 50 is formed with a hole 52, and two types of neck type attachment plates can be attached to the hole 52. The large neck attaching plate is attached to both ends in the longitudinal direction of the punch hole 52 using four screw holes 54 and one guide pin hole 56, respectively. The small neck mounting plate is fixed via two auxiliary piece plates 60 shown only on the right mounting portion 50 in FIG. In order to attach the auxiliary piece plate 60 to both ends in the longitudinal direction of the punch hole 52, two screw holes 59 are formed on both sides of one guide pin hole 58 at four locations around the through hole 52, respectively. A small neck mounting plate is attached to each auxiliary piece plate 60 through one guide pin hole 64 and two screw holes 62. For example, when the number of simultaneous moldings is large or the blow molding pitch is large, the large neck mounting plate can be directly fixed to the rotating plate 26 without using the auxiliary piece plate 60. Otherwise, a total of eight auxiliary piece plates 60 can be attached to the rotating plate 26, and a small neck mounting plate can be attached to the rotating plate 26 via the auxiliary piece plate 60. In addition, two neck support plates that can be opened and closed are attached to the neck attachment plate, and a split lip shape is attached to the two neck support plates.

  The rotating plate 26 can be intermittently rotated by 90 degrees by an electric motor 68 (not shown) such as a servo motor provided on the upper base 16, and the neck mold is formed by the injection molding unit 30, the temperature control unit 34, the stretch blower. It can be sequentially conveyed to the molding unit 32 and the extraction unit 34. The rotation stop position of the rotary plate 26 may be positioned by a positioning mechanism (not shown), or only the positioning means of the servo motor 68 may be used.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, on the upper base 16, a temperature adjustment core raising / lowering cylinder 70 (not shown in FIG. 1) for raising and lowering the temperature adjustment core to a position corresponding to the temperature adjustment portion 34, extending A blow core type lifting cylinder 72 that lifts and lowers the blow core mold to a position corresponding to the blow molding part 32, a stretching rod lifting cylinder 74 that lifts and lowers the stretching rod, and an eject cam 76 for opening the neck type support plate at a position corresponding to the takeout part 36 (see FIG. 1). An eject cam elevating cylinder 78 and the like for elevating and lowering are shown.

  The motor fixing plate 20 is fixed to the upper ends of the two tie bars 22 located on the injection molding unit 30 side above the upper base 56, and an injection core mold is interposed between the motor fixing plate 20 and the upper base 16. The attached injection core mold clamping plate 80 is attached along the two tie bars 22 so as to be movable up and down.

  In addition, an injection core mold clamping electric motor 82 (third electric motor in a broad sense) is attached on the motor fixing plate 60. By this injection core mold clamping electric motor 82, an injection core mold clamping toggle mechanism 84 that is expanded and contracted with respect to the motor fixing plate 20 is connected to the injection core mold clamping plate 80.

  The traction plate 18 is connected and fixed to the lower ends of the four tie bars 22 in the machine base 12. The pulling plate 18 is provided with a saddle clamp (neck clamp) toggle mechanism 90 constituting a saddle clamp at a position below the injection molding portion 30. The saddle clamping toggle mechanism 90 is expanded and contracted by a saddle clamping electric motor 92 (second electric motor in a broad sense) to raise and lower the traction plate 18 with the lower base 14 as a reference.

  Accordingly, when the saddle clamping electric motor 92 is driven and the toggle mechanism 90 is extended in a state where the saddle clamping toggle mechanism 90 is contracted and the traction plate 18 is in the upper limit position (die opening state), the traction plate 18 is extended. The tie bar 22 is pulled and descends with the lowering. The upper base 16 connected and fixed to the tie bar 22 is lowered by the first stroke, and the neck mold attached to the rotating plate 26 is lowered. For example, in the injection molding section 30, the neck mold is different from the injection cavity mold. The mold will be clamped.

  Furthermore, in the temperature control part 34, a neck type is clamped with respect to the temperature control pot. In the stretch blow molding section 32, the neck mold is set at the blow operation position, and then the blow cavity split mold is clamped by the horizontal mold clamping toggle mechanism 40.

  When the upper base 16 is lowered, the motor fixing plate 20 fixed to the upper ends of the two tie bars 22 on the injection molding portion 30 side is also lowered at the same time by the same first stroke as the upper base 16.

  In this state, in the injection molding unit 30, the injection core mold clamping plate 80 is lowered by the second stroke by the toggle mechanism 84 extended by the injection core mold clamping electric motor 82. Thus, the injection core mold and the neck mold are clamped, and the preform is injection molded by injecting the molten resin into the injection cavity mold from the injection device 64.

  In this case, since the electric motor fixing plate 20 to which the injection core mold clamping electric motor 82 is fixed descends integrally with the lowering of the upper base 16, the distance from the upper base 16 is always kept constant.

  Therefore, the downward stroke (second stroke) of the injection core mold clamping plate 80 is the minimum stroke from the upper position where the injection core mold is retracted from the rotary plate 26 to the mold clamping position. The length can be shortened.

  Here, at the same time as the molding operation in the injection molding unit 30, the temperature control unit 34 inserts a temperature control core (not shown) into the preform arranged in the temperature control pot by the temperature control core lifting cylinder 70. Then, the temperature of the preform is adjusted.

  In the stretch blow molding section 32, the blow core mold is lowered by the blow core mold lifting cylinder 72, the blow core mold is clamped with respect to the neck mold, and the stretch rod is lowered by the stretch rod lifting cylinder 74 to be clamped. By supplying blow air to the preforms arranged in the two blow cavity split molds, the temperature-controlled preform is blown biaxially to form a bottle.

  Further, in the take-out portion 36, the eject cam elevating cylinder 78 lowers the eject cam 76 to open the neck mold through the neck mold support plate, and the bottle is dropped and taken out.

  Next, after completion of each molding step, the blow cavity split mold is opened by the horizontal mold clamping toggle mechanism 40, the upper substrate 16 is raised by the vertical mold clamping toggle mechanism 90, and the injection core mold clamping toggle mechanism 84, the temperature control core ascending / descending The injection core type, temperature control core, blow core type, extension rod and eject cam 76 can be retracted above the rotary plate 26 by the cylinder 70, the blow core type elevating cylinder 72, the extending rod elevating cylinder 74 and the eject cam elevating cylinder 78. In this case, the rotating plate 26 can be rotated.

  In this state, the rotating plate 26 can be intermittently rotated by the electric motor 68 to sequentially perform molding in each molding part.

(Injection core clamping structure of injection molding part)
4 is a front view of the injection core mold clamping electric motor 82 and the injection core mold clamping toggle mechanism 84 shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a plan view thereof. The injection core mold clamping means includes an electric motor 82 and an injection core mold clamping toggle mechanism 84 that is expanded and contracted by the electric motor 82, and the injection core mold fixing plate 118 (reference numeral 80 in FIG. 1) is formed by the toggle mechanism 84. Is raised and lowered.

  The rotation output shaft of the injection core mold clamping electric motor 82 fixed to the motor fixing plate 20 is a screw shaft 100 suspended from the motor 82. By the rotation of the screw shaft 100, the injection core mold clamping toggle mechanism 84 is driven to extend and contract.

  The injection core mold clamping toggle mechanism 84 includes a nut portion 110 screwed to the screw shaft 100, a pair of drive arms 112, 112 having one end pin-coupled (rotatably connected) to the nut portion 110, and one end pair. A pair of first driven arms 114, 114 that are pin-coupled to the drive arms 112, 112 and the other end are pin-coupled to the motor fixing plate 20, and one end is rotatably pin-coupled to the pair of drive arms 112, 112 And a pair of second driven arms 116 and 116 whose other ends are pin-coupled to the injection core type fixing plate 118.

  The injection core type fixed plate 118 driven by the toggle mechanism 84 is guided up and down along the two tie bars 22 and 22. FIG. 4 shows the extended state of the toggle mechanism 84. The first and second driven arms 114 and 116 are in a straight line, and the injection core mold fixed to the injection core mold fixing plate 118 is set at the lower limit position. The mold is clamped. When the nut portion 110 is raised by the rotation of the ball screw shaft 110 from the mold clamping state shown in FIG. 4, the toggle mechanism 84 is in a contracted state, and the injection core mold fixed to the injection core mold fixing plate 118 is opened. .

(Injection core mold clamping position adjustment mechanism)
The injection core mold clamping and mold opening drive via the injection core mold fixing plate 118 described above is performed in a state where the upper base 16 is set at the mold clamping position by the saddle mold clamping means 90 and 92. That is, the injection core mold is raised and lowered with respect to the upper base 16 (the neck mold in the mold clamping state) set at the mold clamping position.

  By the way, the mold clamping position of the injection core mold is determined depending on the upper surface position of the injection cavity mold mounted on the hot runner mold fixed to the lower base 14 in FIG. As long as the distance A shown in FIG. 1 (the distance from the reference position of the upper base 14 to the reference position of the motor fixing plate 20) is constant, the mold clamping position of the injection core mold is also constant.

  However, there is a need to change the clamping position of the injection core mold by changing the distance A. That is, the molding objects blow-molded by the apparatus of the present embodiment are a wide variety, and include small containers to large containers. If the final container is small, the preform may be small. If the injection core mold clamping position is always constant, the hot runner mold needs to be lengthened in the height direction, but the hot runner nozzle becomes unnecessarily long and the mold weight also increases. End up.

  As will be described later, in the present embodiment, the distance B shown in FIG. 1 (the distance from the reference position of the fixed lower base 14 to the reference position of the upper base 16) is varied by the mold thickness adjusting mechanism 170 (FIG. 9). Even in this case, the upper surface position of the injection cavity mold mounted on the hot runner mold must be controlled within a certain range.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, an injection core type position adjusting mechanism 120 that varies the distance A from the reference position of the upper base 16 to the reference position of the motor fixing plate 60 is provided. The injection core type position adjusting mechanism will be described with reference to FIG. 6 showing the II cross section of FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the injection core type position adjusting mechanism 120 includes, on the motor fixing plate 20, one electric motor 122, output shafts 124 </ b> A and 124 </ b> B extending to the left and right of the electric motor 122, Bevel gearboxes 126A and 126B for orthogonally transforming outputs, gears 128A and 128B fixed to output shafts of the bevel gearboxes 126A and 126B, gears 130A and 130B meshing with the gears 128A and 128B, and gears 130A and 130B Nuts 132A and 132B (only the gears 128A and 130A and the nut portion 132A are shown in FIG. 6, but the 128A, 130B and 132B are not shown).

  On the other hand, a screw portion 22A is formed at the upper end of the two tie bars 22 supported by the motor fixing plate 20, and the screw portion 22A is screwed into the nut portion 132A as shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, a retaining member 134 that rotatably supports the nut portion 132 </ b> A by the motor fixing plate 20 and secures the nut 132 </ b> A from coming off from the motor fixing plate 20 is fixed to the motor fixing plate 20. ing.

  In the injection core type position adjusting mechanism 120 configured as described above, the rotational force of the electric motor 122 is transmitted to the two nut portions 132A and 132B. The nut portion 132A is rotated in the electric motor fixing plate 20 by the retaining member 134A, and the relative position between the nut portion 132A and the tie bar 22 having the screw shaft 22A to be screwed and the electric motor fixing plate 20 changes. Here, the lower end of the tie bar 22 is fixed to the traction plate 18, and the position of the traction plate 18 is held at a fixed position with respect to the lower base 14 by a horizontal synchronization mechanism 160 (FIG. 8) described later. As a result, the motor fixing plate 20 is moved up and down with respect to the two tie bars 22 by the injection core type position adjusting mechanism 120. Thus, by changing the distance A from the reference position of the upper base 16 to the reference position of the motor fixing plate 20, the position of the injection core mold with respect to the upper base 16 can be adjusted.

(Screw clamp)
1 and 7 show a saddle clamping toggle mechanism 90 and a saddle clamping electric motor 92 which are saddle clamping means. A pulley 140 is fixed to the output shaft of the mold clamping electric motor 92, and the rotation output of the pulley 140 is transmitted to the pulley 144 via the timing belt 142. The pulley 144 is fixed to the lower end of a ball screw shaft (not shown).

  The toggle mechanism 90 is driven to extend and contract by a ball screw shaft (not shown) that is rotationally driven by the pulley 142. The toggle mechanism 90 is configured by basically the same mechanism as the toggle mechanism 84 shown in FIG. 4, and a nut portion 150 that is driven up and down by a ball screw shaft (not shown), and one end of the nut portion 150 is pinned to the nut portion 150. A pair of coupled driving arms 152, 152; a pair of first driven arms 154, 154 having one end pin-coupled to the pair of driving arms 152, 152 and the other end pin-coupled to the lower base 14; A pair of second driven arms 156 and 156 having one end pin-coupled to the pair of drive arms 152 and 152 and the other end pin-coupled to the traction 18 are provided.

  FIG. 7 shows the extended state of the toggle mechanism 90, and the first and second driven arms 154 and 156 are in a straight line, and the traction plate 18 supported by the second driven arm 156 is in relation to the lower base 14. To set the lower limit position. The upper base 16 connected to the traction plate 18 via the four tie bars 22 is also set at the lower limit position with respect to the lower base 14. Therefore, the neck mold supported on the upper base 16 via the rotary plate 22, the neck support plate, etc. is also set to the lower limit position, and the neck mold is set to the mold clamping position with respect to the injection cavity mold or the like. When the nut portion 150 is lowered by the rotational output of the saddle mold clamping electric motor 92 from the mold clamping state shown in FIG. 7, the toggle mechanism 90 is in a contracted state, and the traction plate 18 and the upper board 16 are respectively moved with respect to the lower board 14. Set to the upper limit position. Therefore, the two neck cavity split molds are opened.

(Horizontal synchronization mechanism of traction plate)
While the traction plate 18 is connected to the four tie bars 22, the above-described saddle clamping means 90 and 92 are disposed between the two tie bars 22 on the injection molding portion 30 side, and are eccentric from the center of the traction plate 18. It is driven by. In the present embodiment, the horizontal synchronization mechanism 160 is provided so that the traction plate 18 can be moved up and down while maintaining the level against such an eccentric drive.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the horizontal synchronization mechanism 160 includes a plurality of, for example, two racks 162 and 162 suspended from the lower base 14, mounting plates 164 and 164 fixed to the traction plate 18, and mounting plates 162 and 162. The rotating shaft 166 is rotatably supported by the rotating shaft 166, and the two pinions 168 and 168 are fixed to the rotating shaft 166 and mesh with the two racks 162 and 162. Thus, when the traction plate 18 is raised and lowered with respect to the lower base 14, the pinion gears 168 and 168 engaged with the two racks 162 and 162 are raised and lowered at the same rack pitch, so that the horizontal movement of the traction plate 18 is ensured. Is done. In this way, the raising / lowering balance of the traction plate 18 and the upper base 16 on the injection molding part 30 side and the stretch blow molding part 32 side can be improved, and the raising / lowering can be performed smoothly.

(Die thickness adjustment mechanism)
In the present embodiment, the distance B shown in FIG. 1 (the distance from the fixed reference position of the lower base 14 to the reference position of the upper base 16) is varied by the mold thickness adjusting mechanism 170 shown in FIGS. Yes.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the mold thickness adjusting mechanism 170 includes a mold thickness adjusting electric motor 172, a gear 174 fixed to the motor output shaft, a ring gear 176 meshing with the gear 174, and a ring gear. And four gears 178 meshing with 176, and four gears 180 fixed coaxially with the four gears 178. The mold thickness adjusting mechanism 170 further includes four gears 182 that are rotatably supported at the lower ends of the four tie bars 22, and the four gears 182 mesh with the four gears 180, respectively. FIG. 11 shows the lower ends of four tie bars 22 having substantially the same mechanism as the mechanism provided at the upper end of the tie bar 22 shown in FIG. That is, the nut portion 184 fixed to the gear 182 disposed at the lower ends of the four tie bars 22 is rotatably supported by the traction plate 18 by the retaining member 186. Threaded portions 22B are formed at the lower ends of the four tie bars 22, and these threaded portions 22B are screwed with nut portions 184.

  In the mold thickness adjusting mechanism 170 configured as described above, the rotational force of the electric motor 172 is transmitted to the four nut portions 184. The four nut portions 184 are rotated in the traction plate 18 by the retaining member 186, and the relative position between the tie bar 22 having the screw shaft 22B and the nut portion 184 and the screw shaft 22 is changed. Here, the position of the traction plate 18 is held at a fixed position with respect to the lower base 14 by the horizontal synchronization mechanism 160 (FIG. 8). As a result, the four tie bars 22 are raised and lowered with respect to the traction plate 18 by the mold thickness adjusting mechanism 170. When the four tie bars 22 are lifted and lowered, the upper base 16 fixed to the tie bars 22 is lifted and lowered with respect to the lower base 14. Thus, by changing the distance B from the reference position of the lower base 14 to the reference position of the upper base 16, the height of the molding space between the lower and upper bases 14 and 16 can be changed. For this reason, the distance B can be shortened when the container to be molded is small, and the distance B can be increased when the container to be molded is large, depending on the mold thickness of the injection cavity mold or blow molded cavity mold. The distance B can be adjusted.

(Clamping mechanism of stretch blow molding part)
12 and 13 show a tie bar-less horizontal mold clamping mechanism in the stretch blow molding section 32. FIG.

  FIG. 12 shows a C-shaped frame having an upward opening on which a horizontal clamping toggle mechanism 40 and a horizontal clamping electric motor (first electric motor in a broad sense) 200A, 200B (see FIG. 13) constituting the horizontal clamping mechanism are mounted. The blow unit base board 190 made is shown. The blow unit base board 190 is formed of a casting and is integrally formed, or is integrally formed by fixing separately formed parts. The blow unit base board 190 formed of a C-shaped frame includes two bottom members 192 disposed horizontally along two opposing sides, and side members 194 that rise vertically from both longitudinal ends of the two bottom members 192. Is required. The blow unit base board 190 may be provided with a reinforcing wall member 196 in which the two bottom side members 192 are extended to the upper end sides of the two side members 194 on the front side and the back side for reinforcement. .

  The blow unit base board 190 is employed to eliminate a horizontal tie bar for opening / closing / guide-driving the mold clamping plates 42 and 42 to which two blow cavity split molds (reference numerals 294A and 294B in FIG. 16) are fixed.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the left and right toggle mechanisms 40, 40 are attached to the side members 192, 192 of the blow unit base board 190, and open and close the mold clamping plates 42, 42 based on the side members 192, 192. Even if the two blow cavity split molds are clamped by the toggle mechanisms 40, 40, the side members 192, 192 integrated with the two bottom members 192 and reinforced by the reinforcing wall member 196 are less likely to be deformed if necessary. . Even if the upper ends of the side members 192 and 192 are deformed outward from the center line P of the blow cavity split mold, the mold clamping plate 42 and the toggle mechanism 40 are rotatably pin-coupled as will be described later. The upper part of the split mold does not open and the clamped state can be maintained. Moreover, since a horizontal tie bar is not required between the two side members 192 and 192, there are no obstacles when attaching / detaching the blow cavity split mold or during maintenance. Note that the two bottom side members 192 may be coupled to each other by members other than the two side surface members 194 as necessary.

  As shown in FIG. 13, two mold clamping electric motors 200 </ b> A and 200 </ b> B are supported on the blow unit base board 190. The screw shafts 202A and 202B are rotationally driven by the two electric motors 200A and 200B.

  The two toggle mechanisms 40 that are driven to extend and contract by the two electric motors 200A and 200B will be described with reference to FIGS. Since the two toggle mechanisms 40 are the same mechanisms arranged symmetrically, only one toggle mechanism 40 will be described.

  The toggle mechanism 40 shown on the right side in FIG. 13 is shown in FIG. The toggle mechanism 40 includes a nut portion (first nut portion in a broad sense) 204B screwed on a screw shaft (first screw shaft in a broad sense) 204B, one end pin-connected to the nut portion 204B, and the other end A driving arm 206B that is pin-coupled to the mold clamping plate 42, and a driven arm 208B that has one end pin-coupled to the side member 196 and the other end pin-coupled to the driving arm 206B (in this embodiment, two driven arms). And have. Here, the pin coupling distance (D + E) at both ends of the drive arm 206B is twice the pin coupling distance D at both ends of the driven arm 208B (ie, D = E).

  The right side of FIG. 13 shows a mold clamping state in which the nut portion 204B is raised by the electric motor 200B and the drive arm 206B is horizontal. On the other hand, the left side of FIG. 13 shows a mold open state in which the nut portion 204A is lowered by the electric motor 200A. Note that the two mold clamping plates 42, 42 opened and closed by the two toggle mechanisms 40, 40 have guide holes (only one is shown in FIG. 13) inserted through two guide shafts 209 on the lower end side thereof. (Not shown) and is horizontally opened and closed by being guided by the guide shaft 209. Since this guide shaft 209 is disposed at the lower end portions of the two mold clamping plates 42, 42, there is no interference when the blow cavity split mold is maintained or detached. However, the guide shaft 209 is not indispensable, and horizontal guide means for ensuring that the two mold clamping plates 42 and 42 are opened and closed horizontally on the lower end side thereof (for example, a horizontal plane on which the two mold clamping plates slide). ) May be arranged.

  Here, by setting the distance D = E as described above, the driving force of the nut portions 204A and 204B can be smaller than that of the connecting structure of the toggle mechanisms 84 and 90 of FIGS. The load of 200A, 200B can be reduced.

(Blow unit position adjustment mechanism)
The blow unit base 190 shown in FIG. 13 and the blow bottom mold fixing plate 222 are connected to each other and are provided with four guide shafts 223 suspended from the blow bottom mold fixing plate 222 (only two are shown in FIG. 13). (Not shown) is guided to a guide hole (not shown) of the lower base 14 and is guided up and down integrally. As shown in FIG. 15, a blow unit position adjusting mechanism 220 that adjusts the vertical position of the blow unit base board 190 is provided. The blow bottom mold fixing plate 222 fixed to the blow unit base board 190 is screwed to the lower end of the shaft portion hanging from the fixing plate 222 on the center line P (see FIG. 13) of the two blow cavity split molds. A shaft 224 is formed. A rotating body (large-diameter gear) 230 having a nut portion 232 screwed on the screw shaft 224 and a gear portion 234 on the outer peripheral portion is fixed to a fixing member 14A fixed to the lower base 14 via a bearing 236. It is rotatably supported. The lower base 14 is provided with an electric motor 240, and a small-diameter gear 244 fixed to a vertical rotating shaft 242 rotated by the motor 240 meshes with a gear portion 234 provided on the large-diameter gear 230.

  According to this blow unit position adjustment mechanism 220, the rotating body 230 is rotationally driven by the rotational force of the electric motor 240. While the rotating body 230 is rotatably supported by the lower base 14, the nut portion 232 of the rotating body 230 and the screw shaft 224 provided on the blow bottom mold fixing plate 222 are engaged with each other. Therefore, the screw shaft 224 is raised and lowered with respect to the lower base 14 integrally with the blow unit base board 190 by the rotation of the nut portion 232.

  Therefore, the blow unit base board 190 can be raised when the container to be molded is small, and the blow unit base board 190 can be lowered when the container is large to be molded. Therefore, the height distance B of the molding space is adjusted by the mold thickness adjusting mechanism 170 described above, and the reference position (for example, blow bottom mold) of the blow unit base board 190 is adjusted from the reference position of the lower base 14 by the blow unit position adjusting mechanism 220. The distance C (see FIG. 1) to the reference position of the fixed plate 222 can be adjusted. That is, the height unique to the blow molding space defined by the blow unit base board 190 and the upper base 16 can be varied independently of the molding space height between the lower base 14 and the upper base 16. For this reason, the height of the blow cavity split mold can be designed independently of the injection mold, and the degree of freedom in design is increased. Therefore, there is no need to unnecessarily increase the blow bottom mold or blow cavity split mold, and the blow mold can be reduced in weight.

  The blow unit base board 190 has a screw shaft 224 on the center line P of the two blow cavity split molds, that is, at the center of gravity of the moving weight that moves together with the blow unit base board. Therefore, the nut portion 232 is rotated by the output from the electric motor 240, so that the screw shaft 224 and the blow unit base board 190 can be moved up and down without using a toggle mechanism and the load on the motor 240 can be minimized. Can be realized.

  Further, the rotation torque can be increased by rotating the large diameter gear 230 via the small diameter gear 244, and space can be saved by forming the nut portion 232 inside the large diameter gear 230.

  Further, the blow unit base board 190 is more stable by driving the screw shaft 224 and the plurality of guide shafts 223 provided on the blow unit base board 190 at equal peripheral positions from the screw shaft 224 at the center position. Can be moved up and down.

(Gravity canceling device)
While adopting the electric motor 90 and the toggle mechanism 92 as the saddle clamping mechanism, the saddle clamping is controlled against the inertial force of the moving weight including the movable upper base 16 without using a mechanical spring or a hydraulic cylinder. For this purpose, a gravity canceling device 250 shown in FIG. 16 is provided. The gravity canceling device 250 has an air cylinder 252 fixed to the bottom surface of the machine base 12. The cylinder rod 254 is slidably held in the cylinder 252A of the air cylinder 252, and compressed air from the reserve tank 260 is supplied to the air chamber 252B between the cylinder 252A and the cylinder rod 254 via the pipe 262. Is done. The reserve tank 260 can also be used as a high-pressure air tank, for example, a high-pressure air tank for supplying high-pressure air to an injection stretch blow molding apparatus. In the present embodiment, a blow air tank that supplies blow air to the stretch blow molding section 32 is also used as the reserve tank 260.

  The cylinder rod 254 is connected to the traction plate 18 via a connecting plate 256 and a plurality of connecting rods 258 suspended from the connecting plate 256. With this structure, the cylinder rod 256 is pulled at a position corresponding to the rotation center of the rotating plate 26 supported by the upper base 16, that is, a position opposite to the substantially center of gravity position of the moving weight that moves integrally with the upper base 16. It is connected to the plate 18. For this reason, it is sufficient to arrange only one air cylinder 252. If the center of gravity of the moving weight that moves integrally with the upper base 16 deviates greatly from the center of rotation of the rotating plate 26, for example, if it is shifted to the injection molding part 30 side, the cylinder rod 256 is adjusted to the center of gravity. May be connected to the traction plate 18. Further, when the traction plate 18 is fixed above the cylinder rod 256, the overall height of the device is increased by the height of the air cylinder 252, but the influence of the height of the cylinder 252 on the overall height of the device due to the connection structure of FIG. Can be reduced.

  The trough 18 is lowered by the saddle type clamping means 90 and 92 described above to lower the upper base 16, and when the output of the electric motor 92 is stopped, the upper base 16 is set to the lower limit position to perform the vertical clamp. However, unlike the hydraulic drive, even if the electric motor 92 is stopped, the moving weight that moves together with the traction plate 18 and the upper base 16 tends to further decrease due to the inertial force, and only the electric motor 92 and the toggle mechanism 90 are moved. Then, the moving weight cannot be supported.

  In this embodiment, the moving weight including the upper base 16 is offset with the output of the air cylinder 250 to which the high-pressure air from the reserve tank 260 is supplied, and the upper base 16 is stopped at the stop position of the electric motor 92. At this time, the reserve tank 260 has a large capacity of 25 liters, for example, in the case of a blow air tank, and therefore, the air pressure fluctuation in the tank at the time of gravity cancellation is in a negligible range. Moreover, there is no need to release air to the outside when gravity cancels, and there is no running cost. Further, in the injection stretch blow molding apparatus, high-pressure air is indispensable for blow molding and driving. Therefore, if the air tank for supplying to the injection stretch blow molding apparatus is also used as the reserve tank, the reserve tank can be effectively used.

  Note that the air cylinder 252 may be disposed between the movable portion formed by one of the upper base plate 16 and the traction plate 18 and the fixed portion formed by one of the machine base 12 and the lower base plate 14, and is not necessarily illustrated in FIG. As shown, it is not restricted to what is arrange | positioned between the base 12 bottom and the traction board 18. As shown in FIG. Therefore, the air cylinder 252 may be provided between the upper base 16 and the lower base 14, between the upper base 16 and the machine base 12, or between the traction plate 16 and the lower base 14. However, except for the case of FIG. 16, it is difficult to arrange at the position of the center of gravity of the moving weight including the upper base 16 (the rotation center of the rotating plate 26) due to space. Therefore, a plurality of air cylinders 252 are required when the arrangement is performed while avoiding the position of the center of gravity.

(Height position restriction means for the upper base on the stretch blow molding part side when the mold is clamped)
FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 show the height position regulating means 270 of the upper base on the stretch blow molding part side at the time of mold clamping. As described above, the traction plate 18 is connected to the four tie bars 22, while the above-described saddle clamping means 90 and 92 are disposed between the two tie bars 22 on the injection molding portion 30 side, Is driven in an eccentric position from the center of the traction plate 18. The horizontal synchronizing mechanism 160 is provided, and the traction plate 18 is kept horizontal with respect to the eccentric drive. However, since the stretch blow molding unit 32 is not directly clamped, the reaction force of the eccentric drive described above The upper base 18 may be lifted in the H direction shown in FIG. 18 by blow air pressure or the like.

  Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, a shaft portion 272 suspended from the lower base 14 (or the machine base 12) and a wedge-shaped member 284 inserted into the lower end portion of the shaft portion 272 after clamping the saddle. A drive unit to be inserted and removed, for example, an air cylinder 280 was provided. A wedge-shaped member 284 is fixed to the cylinder rod 282 of the air cylinder 280. A tip end tip member 273 having a downward taper surface along the upper surface of the wedge-shaped member 284 is formed at the lower end portion of the shaft portion 272. The air cylinder 280 is fixed to the traction plate 18 via an attachment member 274, and the traction plate 18 is provided with a guide member 276 for inserting and guiding the shaft portion 270 when the saddle mold is clamped. Further, a hole 274A is formed in the attachment member 274 and a hole 18A is formed in the pulling member 18 so as to face the hollow hole of the guide member 276.

  FIG. 18 shows a state where the shaft portion 270 and the air cylinder 280 prevent the blow core type from being lifted when the vertical mold is clamped. Here, FIG. 18 shows a saddle type clamping state in which the upper base 16 and the traction plate 18 are lowered by the saddle clamping means 90 and 92. Accordingly, in FIG. 18, the preform 1 is set to the blow position by the neck mold 292 supported by the neck support plate 290 supported by the upper base 16. Thereafter, the blow cavity split molds 294 </ b> A and 294 </ b> B are laterally clamped with respect to the neck mold 292 and the blow bottom mold 296 by the toggle mechanisms 40 and 40. Thereafter, before the start of the blow molding operation (stretching rod driving + blow air introduction), the air cylinder 280 is driven and the wedge-shaped member 284 is driven forward. As a result, as shown in FIG. 18, the wedge-shaped member 284 enters under the lower end tip member 273 of the shaft portion 270. Thereby, in the stretch blow molding part 32, the distance between the lower base 14 and the traction plate 18 is regulated, and the traction plate 18 is not moved upward from the position shown in FIG. When the movement of the traction plate 18 is restricted, the movement of the upper base 18 connected to the traction plate 18 by four tie bars is also restricted. The clamped state of the neck mold 292 or the blow core mold can be maintained.

  When the blow molding operation is completed, the air cylinder 280 is driven, and the wedge-shaped member 284 is retracted to a position off the lower end tip member 273 of the shaft portion 270. Thereafter, the blow cavity split molds 294A and 294B are opened horizontally, and the traction plate 18 is driven to rise integrally with the upper base 16 to open the saddle. At this time, the shaft portion 270 passes through the two holes 274A and 18A shown in FIG.

  In addition, although embodiment of this invention was described, it can be understood easily by those skilled in the art that many modifications which do not deviate substantially from the invention specific matter and effect of this invention are possible. Accordingly, all such modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, a different term described at least once together with a broader or synonymous term in this specification or the drawings can be replaced with the broader or synonymous term at any place in the present specification or the drawings.

  For example, in the present embodiment, four molding processing units, an injection molding unit 30, a temperature control unit 34, a stretch blow molding unit 32, and a take-out unit 36, are provided, and the rotating plate is intermittently rotated by 90 degrees to convey the molded product. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and the molding processing unit may have at least an injection molding unit and a stretch blow molding unit. Instead of or in addition to the temperature adjustment unit 34, the stretched blow molding unit 32 may take out the molded product, and two molding processing units or three molding processing units may be used.
