Description

  The present invention relates to a manufacturing apparatus and a manufacturing method for a container lid used for storing cosmetic liquids, and more particularly to a manufacturing apparatus and a manufacturing method for a lid provided with a two-layer resin structure and a screw portion.

  A lid for a container used for storing a beauty essence or the like is required to have a high-quality texture in order to increase the commercial value of the essence or the like. For example, by making a container with a lid having a two-layer structure formed by fitting an outer layer made of a transparent resin on the outer side of an inner layer made of a colored resin, the product purchaser can feel a high-quality texture. be able to.

  However, when a lid having a two-layer structure is formed using a resin, the inner layer and the outer layer are separately molded in advance and then manufactured by fitting each other. For this reason, it has been necessary to form a locking structure for preventing the inner layer and the outer layer from rotating or coming off from each other at the boundary portion between the inner layer and the outer layer of the lid.

  Moreover, since it is desirable to match the part surface (mating surface) of the mold with the bottom surface of the lid because it is formed by injection molding, it is necessary to form a locking structure including a protruding portion on the bottom surface portion of the lid.

  However, when the outer layer is made of a transparent resin, the locking structure can be seen through the outer layer from the side of the lid, and this is a factor that impairs the high-class feeling of the products displayed at the storefront. Furthermore, the locking structure formed on the bottom part of the lid due to the above circumstances, when the lid is turned upside down, the locking structure can be seen from the bottom side, so when the lid is removed from the container in order to use the product However, the locking structure is conspicuous, and this is also a factor that impairs the quality of the product.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a threaded portion in which an inner layer and an outer layer are continuously formed, so that the inner layer and the outer layer do not rotate with respect to each other and do not fall off even if a locking structure is not provided. We have developed a manufacturing device and a manufacturing method for a lid with a two-layer structure.

  Here, the injection-molded resin is thermally contracted when cooled and solidified, thereby causing a change in volume. Accordingly, if the inner layer is continuously formed after the outer layer is formed using resins having different compositions, the resin formed later is thermally contracted, and an abnormality in which the inner layer partially peels from the outer layer occurs.

  On the other hand, in order to continuously form the inner layer and the outer layer, it is necessary to move the previously formed portion to the next process mold. However, forming the outer layer first and moving the outer layer to the next process mold to form the inner layer cannot be performed in order to avoid the occurrence of the above-described peeling abnormality.

  However, since a screw portion is formed on the inner side surface of the inner layer according to the present invention, it is necessary to provide a mechanism for releasing the screw portion without destroying the screw portion in order to release the inner layer. Therefore, it has been difficult to simultaneously provide a mechanism for forming the inner layer first and moving the inner layer to the next process mold and a mechanism for releasing the inner layer.

  However, in the present invention, by taking measures to solve the following problems, the inner layer formed earlier is moved, and the threaded portion of the two-layer structure lid completed after continuously forming the outer layer is not destroyed. Two layers with threaded portions that can be released from each other, do not cause a peeling abnormality between the inner layer and the outer layer, and the inner layer and the outer layer do not rotate with each other and do not fall off even if a locking structure is not provided. Succeeded in producing a structural lid.

  That is, an apparatus for manufacturing a two-layer structure lid with a screw portion according to the present invention is an injection molding machine provided with a rotating plate that can rotate about a revolution shaft as an axis, and a fixed plate that faces the rotating plate. And a plurality of screw molds installed on the front surface of the rotating disk so that the positions of the rotating disks can be interchanged by rotating the rotating disk, and on the rear surface of the fixed disk, An inner mold and an outer mold, which are installed so that they can be fitted to the screw mold when the fixed plate is close to each other, and a rotation transmission unit that is detachably connected to the screw mold and transmits the rotational motion of the motor and the motor. The screw mold has a convex part with a screw structure formed on a side surface, the screw extraction mechanism is connected to a rotating disk, and the motor is driven to drive the screw mold. With the center of the projection as the axis of rotation Characterized in that it is rotatable.

  In addition, the two-layer structure lid with a threaded portion is a manufacture of a two-layer structure lid with a threaded portion using an injection molding machine provided with a rotating disk capable of rotating an axis and a stationary disk installed facing the rotating disk. In the method, the step of fitting the inner die into a screw die having a convex portion installed on the rotating disk, and the first gap space formed between the screw die and the inner die, A step of heat-melting and injecting the resin, a step of cooling the first resin to form an inner layer, a step of releasing the inner die with the inner layer attached to the screw die, The step of transporting the inner layer by rotating the shaft, the step of fitting the outer die to the screw die attached with the inner layer, and the second gap space formed between the inner layer and the outer die have a melting point higher than that of the first resin. A step of melting and injecting a second low-resin resin by heating, a step of cooling the second resin to form an outer layer, and a step consisting of an inner layer and an outer layer. With the method comprising the steps of releasing the outer die while the structural lid is attached to the screw die and releasing the screw die from the two-layer structural lid by rotating the convex portion of the screw die. It is manufactured.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to manufacture a two-layer structure lid with a threaded portion in which the inner layer and the outer layer do not rotate with each other and do not fall off without having a locking structure.

A front view (a) and a bottom view (b) of a two-layer structure lid 23 with a screw part manufactured according to the present invention is compared with a front view (c) and a bottom view (d) of a cover having a conventional two-layer structure. FIG.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

  FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 are diagrams for explaining the configuration and function of a manufacturing apparatus 1 for a two-layer structure lid with a screw portion according to claim 1. The injection molding machine 2 is provided with a rotating plate 3 and a fixed plate 4 to which a mold can be attached.

  The turntable 3 is installed such that the center of the front and rear surfaces can rotate about a revolution shaft 3a by a rotation drive source (not shown). Further, the front surface of the turntable 3 and the rear face of the fixed plate 4 are installed in front of the turntable 3 (rightward in FIGS. 1 to 5).

  A translation board 4 is installed on the rear surface of the rotary board 3. A tie bar 5 is inserted through the outer edge of the translation board 4 in the left-right direction, and the rotary board 3 and translation board 4 can translate left and right by driving a translation drive source (not shown). The mold attached to the rotating plate 3 is engaged with and released from the die attached to the fixed platen 4 by this translational movement.

  A pair of screw dies 7 is installed on the front surface of the turntable 3, and the pair of screw dies 7 can be interchanged by rotating the turntable 3 halfway.

  On the other hand, an inner die 8 and an outer die 9 are installed on the rear surface of the fixed plate 3 at positions corresponding to the pair of screw dies 7, respectively. Therefore, the inner mold 8 and the outer mold 9 are configured such that the inner disk 8 and the outer mold 9 are paired by moving the rotating disk 3 forward together with the translation disk 4 to bring the rotating disk 3 and the fixed plate 4 close to each other. The screw molds 7 can be fitted simultaneously.

  The screw mold 7 is a mold having a convex shape toward the front when the screw mold 7 is installed on the turntable 3, and includes a convex portion 7a, a bottom portion 7b disposed at a peripheral portion of the convex portion 7a, and a convex portion 7a. It is comprised from the rotation receiving part 7c installed in the rear part. A screw structure for forming a screw portion of the two-layer structure lid 23 with a screw portion is formed in a spiral shape on the side surface of the convex portion 7a. The side surface of the convex portion 7 a is preferably formed perpendicular to the front surface of the rotating disk 3.

  The pair of screw dies 7 may have the same shape, but may have different shapes, such as the diameter and height of the convex portion 7a, or the interval between the screw structure spirals. When the shape of the pair of screw dies 7 is the same as each other, the same lid can be manufactured each time the turntable 3 is rotated halfway, whereas the shape of the pair of screw dies 7 is different from each other. In the case of having different shapes, the lids having the screw portions having different structures can be alternately manufactured every time the turntable 3 is rotated halfway.

  Further, the convex portion 7a of the screw mold 7 is installed so as to be rotatable about the center of the convex portion 7a as a rotation axis. On the other hand, the bottom 7 b is fixed to the turntable 3. Moreover, the rotation receiving part 7c installed in the rear part of the convex part 7a is detachably connected to a screw extracting mechanism 20 described later, and the screw extracting mechanism 20 is connected to the rear part of the rotation receiving part 7c to rotate the shaft. By doing so, the rotational motion can be transmitted to the convex portion 7a. By the shaft rotation, the screw mold 7 and the screw layered two-layer structure lid 23 can be released after the screw layered two-layer structure lid 23 is formed.

  The inner mold 8 is a mold for forming the inner layer 12 of the two-layer structure lid 23 with a screw portion, and can be fitted to the screw mold 7 as shown in FIG. When the inner mold 8 and the screw mold 7 are fitted to each other, a first gap space 10 is formed between the inner mold 8 and the screw mold 7. When the molten first resin 11 is injected into the first gap space 10, the first resin 11 can be formed as the inner layer 12. The injection of the first resin 11 is heated and melted in a cylinder 13 installed at the front portion of the fixed platen 4, and the first gap space is passed through the runners 14 formed in the fixed platen 4 and the inner mold 8. 10 is injected.

  The outer die 9 is a die for forming the outer layer 17 of the two-layer structure lid 23 with a screw portion, and can be fitted to the screw die 7 as shown in FIG. When the outer mold 9 and the screw mold 7 are fitted together with the inner layer 12 formed on the screw mold 7, a second gap space 15 is formed between the inner layer 12 and the outer mold 9. It is configured. When the molten second resin 16 is injected into the second gap space 15, the outer layer 17 can be formed in a state where the second resin 16 is in close contact with the outside of the first resin 11. The injection of the second resin 16 is heated and melted in a cylinder 18 installed at the front portion of the fixed platen 4, and the second gap space is passed through a runner 19 formed in the fixed platen 4 and the inner mold 8. 15 is injected.

  Here, the second resin 16 is desirably a resin having a melting point lower than that of the first resin 11. When the melting point of the second resin 16 is lower than the melting point of the first resin 11, the inner layer 12 formed by the first resin 11 can be prevented from being deformed by the heat of the injected second resin.

  A screw extraction mechanism 20 is installed behind the turntable 3. The screw extraction mechanism 20 includes a motor 21 and a rotation transmission unit 22. The rotation transmission unit 22 can rotate by receiving the rotation of the motor 21.

  A rotation receiving portion 7 c of the screw mold 7 is connected to the front portion of the rotation transmitting portion 22. Thereby, rotation of the motor 21 can be transmitted to the convex part 7a via the rotation transmission part 22 and the rotation receiving part 7c, and by this rotation, as shown in FIG. The structural lid 23 can be removed.

  Here, it is desirable that the rotation transmitting unit 22 is formed as a drive coupling, the rotation receiving unit 7c is configured as a passive coupling, and the rotation transmitting unit 22 and the rotation receiving unit 7c are detachably connected. When the position of the screw mold 7 is changed by rotating the turntable 3, the connection between the rotation transmitting portion 22 and the rotation receiving portion 7c is released by moving the screw removing mechanism 20 rearward. Thereby, the connection of the rotation transmission part 22 and the rotation receiving part 7c is not destroyed by rotation of the turntable 3. When the replacement of the position of the screw mold 7 is completed, the screw extraction mechanism 20 moves forward again, and the rotation transmitting unit 22 and the rotation receiving unit 7c are reconnected.

  The screw extraction mechanism 20 may be installed on the side of the turntable 3.

  Next, a method of manufacturing the two-layer structure lid 23 with a screw portion according to the present invention using the manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the screw mold 7 is installed on the turntable 3, the inner mold 8 and the outer mold 9 are installed on the front surface of the fixed plate 4, and then the turntable 3 is moved forward together with the translation board 4. Then, the inner mold 8 is fitted to the screw mold 7 by bringing the rotating disk 3 and the fixed plate 4 close to each other.

  A first gap space 10 is formed between the screw mold 7 and the inner mold 8 that are fitted.

  The first resin 11 melted in the formed first gap space 10 is injected from the cylinder 13 through the runner 14 to form the inner layer 12.

  Subsequently, the inner layer 12 is cooled and solidified by cooling the inner mold 8.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the turntable 3 is moved backward together with the translation board 4, the inner mold 8 is released while the inner layer 12 is attached to the screw mold 7, and the turntable 3 is pivoted. The screw mold 7 and the inner layer 12 are transported by being rotated half by rotation.

  Subsequently, the rotary plate 3 is moved forward together with the translation plate 4 so that the rotary plate 3 and the fixed plate 4 are brought close to each other, and the outer die 9 is fitted to the screw die 7.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, a second gap space 15 is formed between the inner layer 12 attached to the screw mold 7 and the outer mold 9.

  The second resin 16 melted in the second gap space 15 is injected from the cylinder 18 through the runner 19 to form the outer layer 17.

  Subsequently, the outer layer 17 is cooled and solidified by cooling the outer mold 9.

  By moving the turntable 3 together with the translation board 4, the outer mold 9 is released while the inner layer 12 and the outer layer 17 are attached to the screw mold 7 (FIG. 4), and the screw is screwed as shown in FIG. The protrusion 7a is axially rotated by the screw removal mechanism 20 connected to the protrusion 7a at the rear of the mold 7, and the screw mold 7 is released from the inner layer 12 to complete the process.

  FIG. 6 is a front view (a) and a bottom view (b) of a two-layer structure lid 23 with a screw portion manufactured according to the present invention, and a front view of a lid having a two-layer structure having a conventional locking claw 24 ( c) and bottom view (d) are shown. In either case, the inner layers 12 and 12a are described as being formed of a non-transparent resin, and the outer layers 17 and 17a are described as being formed of a transparent resin.

  In the lid having the conventional two-layer structure, the latching claw 24 is formed on the boundary surface between the lower ends of the inner layer 12a and the outer layer 17a. Therefore, in the front view (c), the latching claw 24 is formed from the outside of the lid. It can be seen through 17a, and in the bottom view (d), the presence of the locking claw 24 can be clearly seen, which causes the appearance of the lid to be impaired.

  On the other hand, since there is no locking claw in the screw-layered two-layer structure lid 23 manufactured according to the present invention, the aesthetic appearance of the two-layer structure of the lid is impaired also in the front view (a) and the bottom view (b). There is no.
