Description

本発明は、圧縮成形機によって成形される成形体の品質を向上させるとともに、従来必要とされてきた圧縮成形機の金型の位置決め構造を、金型の構造を変えることによって省略、簡略化、あるいは緩和するとともに、さらにはその精度の向上を図るようにした圧縮成形金型と圧縮成形方法に関する。   The present invention improves the quality of the molded body molded by the compression molding machine, and omits and simplifies the mold positioning structure of the compression molding machine that has been conventionally required by changing the mold structure. Alternatively, the present invention relates to a compression molding die and a compression molding method which are alleviated and further improved in accuracy.

合成樹脂製容器は、軽量性や経済性或いは優れた物性などにより、飲料や食品用の容器として日常生活において汎用されている。特に、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(いわゆるPET)から成形される容器(ペットボトル)は、優れた機械的性質や透明性などにより清涼飲料水や嗜好飲料及び食品用の容器として非常に需要が高く、消費者に重用されている。
このように、ポリエチレンテレフタレートに代表される合成樹脂容器は、一般に、プリフォーム(予備成形された有底円筒状成形材料)に成形金型内にて空気などの流体を吹き込み膨張成形する延伸ブロー成形法(単に、延伸成形或いはブロー成形ともいわれる)によって効率的に製造されている。
Synthetic resin containers are widely used in daily life as containers for beverages and foods due to their light weight, economy, and excellent physical properties. In particular, containers (pet bottles) molded from polyethylene terephthalate (so-called PET) are in great demand as containers for soft drinks, beverages and foods due to their excellent mechanical properties and transparency. It is heavily used.
As described above, a synthetic resin container represented by polyethylene terephthalate is generally stretch blow molding in which a fluid (such as air) is blown into a preform (preliminarily formed bottomed cylindrical molding material) in a molding die. It is efficiently manufactured by a method (simply called stretch molding or blow molding).

従来から、プリフォームの成形は、射出成形法が用いられていたが、射出成形装置に比べて低価格で、装置の小型化と比較的低温での成形が行える成形装置として圧縮成形機が提案されている。そして、量産性を高めて製造効率を向上させるために、多数個の成形金型を回転円盤に取り付けたロータリー圧縮成形機(回転式可動型圧縮成形機)が開発され採用されるに至った。   Conventionally, the injection molding method has been used to mold preforms, but a compression molding machine has been proposed as a molding device that can be downsized and molded at a relatively low temperature at a lower price than injection molding equipment. Has been. In order to increase mass productivity and improve manufacturing efficiency, a rotary compression molding machine (rotary movable compression molding machine) in which a large number of molding dies are attached to a rotating disk has been developed and adopted.

ところで成形体の原料となる合成樹脂を成形する際、合成樹脂を一旦高い温度にて混練・溶融させた溶融樹脂にする。この溶融樹脂は成形後に冷却され温度が下がると体積が減じる性質を有する。成形中の製品形状空間(成形孔)が金型で固定されている射出成形法の場合は、溶融樹脂の体積が減じていく分だけ、射出成形機から溶融樹脂を補充し保圧している。
一方、圧縮成形法では、あらかじめ溶融樹脂を所定量だけ切断したもの(ドロップ)を雌金型(キャビティ金型)に供給し、その後、雌金型と雄金型(コア金型等)とで圧縮成形するが、溶融樹脂の供給量は当初から決められている。そこで、溶融樹脂の体積が減じる分だけ、成形金型の成形孔の容積を減じるよう成形金型に成形摺動部(特許文献1においては段落[0049]に記載のキャビティ43が従動金型57と噛み合わさる部分:小突起部46)を設け、該成形摺動部を移動させて成形孔の容積を減容収縮させ保圧させている。(特許文献1の段落[0045]〜[0049],図5)
By the way, when the synthetic resin that is the raw material of the molded body is molded, the synthetic resin is once melted and kneaded at a high temperature. This molten resin has the property of reducing its volume when it is cooled after molding and the temperature is lowered. In the case of an injection molding method in which the product shape space (molding hole) being molded is fixed by a mold, the molten resin is replenished from the injection molding machine and the pressure is maintained as much as the volume of the molten resin is reduced.
On the other hand, in the compression molding method, a predetermined amount of molten resin cut (drop) is supplied to a female mold (cavity mold), and then a female mold and a male mold (such as a core mold) are used. Although compression molding is performed, the supply amount of the molten resin is determined from the beginning. In view of this, the molding slide portion (in the patent document 1, the cavity 43 described in paragraph [0049] is the driven mold 57) so as to reduce the volume of the molding hole of the molding die as much as the volume of the molten resin is reduced. And a small protrusion 46), and the molding sliding portion is moved to reduce the volume of the molding hole to reduce the pressure. (Patent Document 1, paragraphs [0045] to [0049], FIG. 5)

このような、圧縮成形の場合では、圧縮成形機によって合成樹脂からプリフォームが逐次連続成形できるので、成形されたプリフォームをそのまま搬送ラインによって直ちにブロー成形機へ逐次連続供給し、ブロー成形機において容器に逐次連続成形することが可能である。その際、圧縮成形機により成形されたプリフォームは高い温度を保ったまま、かつ、個々のプリフォームは温度のばらつきがほとんど無い状態でブロー成形まで連続的に進めることが可能であり、安定したボトル成形性が得られるばかりではなく、充填システムの無菌性を維持するといった観点からも好ましいと言える。   In the case of such compression molding, a preform can be successively and continuously molded from a synthetic resin by a compression molding machine. It is possible to sequentially form into a container. At that time, the preforms molded by the compression molding machine can maintain a high temperature, and each preform can be continuously advanced to blow molding with almost no temperature variation. Not only can the bottle moldability be obtained, but it is also preferable from the viewpoint of maintaining the sterility of the filling system.

しかしながら圧縮成形では、成形摺動部の構造上、成形摺動部側若しくはその摺動の相手方側に、圧縮成形保圧時における比較的早期に、溶融樹脂と接触する摺動面(成形摺動面)が存在する。この成形摺動面への溶融樹脂の早期接触によって、成形摺動面に接触している溶融樹脂の冷却固化が始まり、成形摺動部の移動に伴って成形摺動面に接触する溶融樹脂も固化が進んでいる状態で移動若しくは変形する。そのため、配向性のある樹脂であればその部分が樹脂配向(皺,スジなどの外観不良や配向結晶化に伴う残留歪み)を起こし、成形体の外観に不良をもたらし、成形体がプリフォームである場合は、ブロー成形時にネックリングが変形する不具合が生じることがある。
なお、上述の特許文献2には、溶融樹脂の成形時にガスの助勢によって圧縮成形を行う圧縮成形方法が開示されている。すなわち、特許文献2にはガスアシスト圧縮成形法によって、プリフォームや容器の側壁部や底部に高圧ガスを注入して中空(二重壁)に形成する圧縮成形装置が開示されている。この方法は、中空部を有する製品の樹脂配向対策保圧方法としては効果があると思われるが、中空部を有さない製品に対しては使えないため、特許文献1に記載のような金型による保圧方法を取らざるを得なかった。
また、特許文献3のように金型にエアベントを設けることで、成形孔に溜まる空気またはガスの排気性をよくして、プリフォームノズル側への溶融樹脂の流動性を改善するものは知られている。
また、エアベント機能だけでなく特許文献4のように、プリフォームの金型離型時に離型を容易にするための圧縮ガスを送ることができる構造が示されている(19頁1行目〜26行目、図11,15)。
また、上述したように、成形体の原料となる溶融樹脂は温度が下がると体積が減じる性質を有する。したがって、溶融樹脂の成形時には温度が下がるので、体積が減じた分だけ溶融樹脂を補充する必要がある。上述した射出成形の場合は、溶融樹脂が減じた分だけ射出成形機によって、溶融樹脂を補充するようにしている。
一方、圧縮成形機では、あらかじめ溶融樹脂を所定量(ドロップ)だけ、切断したものをキャビティ金型に供給しその後圧縮成形をするので、溶融樹脂の供給量が当初から決められている。そこで、溶融樹脂の体積が減じる分だけ、成形金型の成形部(成形孔)の容積を減じるよう圧力を負荷している。そこで、圧縮成形機の成形金型は嵌合摺動部を設け、該嵌合摺動部を縮めるように成形孔の容積を収縮させている(特許文献5)。
特許文献5の嵌合摺動部(特許文献5の図1の口頸型(インサートスライド金型)2の摺動面23と胴部型(キャビティ金型)3の摺動面32に相当)は、上方に配置されるスライドインサート金型とその下方に配設されるキャビティ金型とによって構成され、圧縮成形の際に金型を合わせて閉じる時には、嵌め合い代(嵌め合いの隙間)が小さく、また、成形孔の一部も兼ねる嵌合摺動部のセンターを一致させるよう高精度に位置決めする必要がある。上下に間隔を空けて配置されていたスライドインサート金型とキャビティ金型との嵌合摺動部のセンターを合わせる必要があった(特許文献6)。
しかしながら、これらの上下関係の位置にある金型を上下に移動させながら、各々の金型のセンターを合わせるためには、各々の金型の位置決めや金型の動作を精度良く行う必要があったり、型閉を行っていく中で、補助的な位置決めを行った後で嵌合摺動部との嵌め合いを行う金型構造をとる必要があるため、金型の製造コストが上昇していた。また、インサート金型が左右に2分割される構造のため、位置決めの阻害要因となる動作の自由度が高く、型開き状態から型閉動作を行うたびに、位置決めを行える型構造、または、機構を備えていなければならなかった。
なお、圧縮成形金型の上下分離しない箇所に保圧のための摺動部(成形摺動部)を設けた金型構造として特許文献7,8のようにプリフォーム底部側に成形摺動部を設け、底部側から保圧を行う構造が知られている。ところが、圧縮成形の場合、射出成形と異なりプリフォーム底部から保圧を行うと、保圧の過程でノズル部の下方側の樹脂の冷却固化が進みやすいため、底側からの保圧圧力が、胴部の樹脂や、先に冷却固化の進んだノズル部の下方側の樹脂によって遮られるため、ノズル部天面側まで保圧圧力が伝わり難く、ノズル部のヒケにつながる。特に、アセトアルデヒド低減のため射出成形より比較的低温の樹脂から成形を行う圧縮成形においては、ノズル部側の冷却固化がいっそう起こりやすいので、プリフォーム底部側から天面側への保圧がさらに難しくなる。
さらに、特許文献8の他の実施形態(段落[0028]〜[0032],図6〜図8)で開示されているように、摺動部を2組((a)割り型部材226a,226b(スライドインサート金型)及び型部材222の突出部236(;キャビティ金型),(b)割り型部材226a,226b及び割り型部片248a,248b)備えた金型構造が知られている。この金型構造では、上述の型合わせが難しい摺動部(a)を備えているのと共に、サポートリング12(ネックリング)の全周均等ではなく、側面側2方向と偏った方向から摺動し保圧を行う摺動部(b)を備えている。この摺動部(b)について、ノズルの半径方向の歪みを抑制する点から、ネックリングの半径方向からは保圧のための摺動を偏った方向から行わせずに固定し、上下方向から保圧のための摺動を行う方が望ましい。
本発明はこのような事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、スライドインサート金型とキャビティ金型との位置決め構造を省略または簡略化でき、あるいは、位置決め精度を従来よりも必要としない圧縮成型金型を提供することを目的とする。
However, in compression molding, due to the structure of the molding sliding part, the sliding surface (molding sliding) that contacts the molten resin relatively early at the time of compression molding holding on the molding sliding part side or the other side of the sliding. Surface). Due to the early contact of the molten resin with the molding sliding surface, cooling and solidification of the molten resin in contact with the molding sliding surface begins, and the molten resin that contacts the molding sliding surface as the molding sliding portion moves is also included. Move or deform in a state of solidification. Therefore, if the resin is oriented, the part will cause resin orientation (residue defects such as wrinkles and streaks and residual strain due to orientation crystallization), resulting in poor appearance of the molded product. In some cases, the neck ring may be deformed during blow molding.
In addition, the above-mentioned patent document 2 discloses a compression molding method in which compression molding is performed with the aid of gas during molding of a molten resin. That is, Patent Document 2 discloses a compression molding apparatus that forms a hollow (double wall) by injecting high-pressure gas into a preform or a side wall or bottom of a container by a gas-assisted compression molding method. Although this method seems to be effective as a pressure retaining method for the resin orientation of a product having a hollow part, it cannot be used for a product having no hollow part. I had to take a pressure-holding method using a mold.
Further, as disclosed in Patent Document 3, by providing an air vent in the mold, it is possible to improve the exhaustability of air or gas accumulated in the molding hole and improve the fluidity of the molten resin to the preform nozzle side. ing.
Moreover, not only an air vent function but the structure which can send the compressed gas for making mold release easy at the time of mold release of a preform like patent document 4 is shown. 26th line, FIG. 11, 15).
In addition, as described above, the molten resin that is the raw material of the molded body has a property that the volume decreases as the temperature decreases. Therefore, since the temperature is lowered during molding of the molten resin, it is necessary to replenish the molten resin by the amount reduced in volume. In the case of the above-described injection molding, the molten resin is replenished by the injection molding machine for the amount of the molten resin reduced.
On the other hand, in the compression molding machine, a predetermined amount (drop) of the molten resin is supplied in advance to the cavity mold, and then compression molding is performed. Therefore, the supply amount of the molten resin is determined from the beginning. Therefore, the pressure is applied so as to reduce the volume of the molding part (molding hole) of the molding die as much as the volume of the molten resin is reduced. Therefore, the molding die of the compression molding machine is provided with a fitting sliding portion, and the volume of the molding hole is shrunk so as to shrink the fitting sliding portion (Patent Document 5).
The fitting sliding part of Patent Document 5 (corresponding to the sliding surface 23 of the mouth-and-neck mold (insert slide mold) 2 and the sliding surface 32 of the body mold (cavity mold) 3 of FIG. 1 of Patent Document 5) Is composed of a slide insert mold disposed above and a cavity mold disposed below the mold, and when the molds are closed together during compression molding, there is a fitting allowance (fitting gap). It is necessary to position it with high accuracy so that the center of the fitting sliding part which is small and also serves as a part of the molding hole is made to coincide. It was necessary to align the center of the sliding part between the slide insert mold and the cavity mold which were arranged at intervals in the vertical direction (Patent Document 6).
However, in order to align the centers of the respective molds while moving the molds in the above and below related positions up and down, it is necessary to accurately position each mold and operate the molds. In the process of closing the mold, it is necessary to take a mold structure that fits with the sliding part after the auxiliary positioning, which increases the manufacturing cost of the mold. . In addition, since the insert mold is divided into right and left parts, it has a high degree of freedom of operation that hinders positioning, and a mold structure or mechanism that can perform positioning each time a mold closing operation is performed from the mold open state. Had to be equipped with.
In addition, as a mold structure in which a sliding portion (molding sliding portion) for holding pressure is provided at a portion where the compression molding die is not separated vertically, a molding sliding portion on the preform bottom side as in Patent Documents 7 and 8 There is known a structure in which pressure is maintained from the bottom side. However, in the case of compression molding, unlike injection molding, holding pressure from the bottom of the preform facilitates the cooling and solidification of the resin on the lower side of the nozzle part during the holding pressure, so the holding pressure from the bottom side is Since it is blocked by the resin on the body part and the resin on the lower side of the nozzle part which has been cooled and solidified first, the holding pressure is difficult to be transmitted to the top surface side of the nozzle part, leading to sink of the nozzle part. In particular, in compression molding, in which molding is performed from a resin that is relatively cooler than injection molding to reduce acetaldehyde, cooling and solidification on the nozzle side is more likely to occur, making it more difficult to hold pressure from the preform bottom side to the top surface side. Become.
Furthermore, as disclosed in other embodiments of Patent Document 8 (paragraphs [0028] to [0032], FIGS. 6 to 8), two sets of sliding portions ((a) split mold members 226a and 226b are used. 2. Description of the Related Art A mold structure including a (slide insert mold) and a protruding portion 236 (; cavity mold) of a mold member 222, (b) split mold members 226a and 226b and split mold pieces 248a and 248b) is known. In this mold structure, the above-described sliding part (a) that is difficult to align is provided, and the support ring 12 (neck ring) is not evenly distributed around the entire circumference, but is slid from the direction deviated from the two side surfaces. A sliding portion (b) for holding the pressure is provided. About this sliding part (b), from the point which suppresses the distortion of the nozzle in the radial direction, from the radial direction of the neck ring is fixed without performing sliding for holding pressure from the biased direction, and from the vertical direction. It is desirable to perform sliding for holding pressure.
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and a compression molding die that can omit or simplify the positioning structure between the slide insert die and the cavity die, or does not require positioning accuracy as compared with the prior art. The purpose is to provide a mold.

The material of the main body 44e of the sliding member 44 is not particularly limited as long as it is an alloy material for a mold, but in this embodiment, a preferable steel material SKD11 or wear-resistant copper alloy SAM214 (manufactured by Hitachi Metals) is used. ing.
Returning to FIG. 5, the sliding member 44 is disposed so as to be slidable in the vertical direction between the outer peripheral surface of the annular convex portion 34b and the lower portion of the positioning guide member 34c. The annular convex portion 34b and the sliding member 44 become a molding sliding portion for reducing the volume of the molding hole 38 and holding the pressure when the molten resin is compression molded as will be described later. In order to facilitate the arrangement of the sliding member 44, it is preferable that the sliding member 44 or the cavity mold 34 has a structure that can be appropriately disassembled and assembled.
An annular sliding floor 34d is provided between the annular protrusion 34b and the lower part of the positioning guide member 34c, and a plurality of spring accommodating chambers 34g (see FIG. 7) are provided in the sliding floor 34d at intervals in the circumferential direction.

An annular recess 35c disposed concentrically with the core body 35b is formed on the lower surface of the support portion 35a so as to be recessed upward.
The slide insert mold 36 is divided into left and right parts and is a semicircular ring symmetrical with respect to the vertical plane. The slide insert mold 36 is formed with a nozzle forming hole 36a that vertically penetrates the center in a state where the split mold is assembled. The nozzle forming hole 36a forms an outer peripheral surface of a mouth portion (also referred to as a nozzle portion) 5a of the preform 5 (see FIG. 3), and forms a male screw 5e, a hook portion 5f, an upper surface side of the neck ring portion 5g, and the like. It becomes a forming part. As shown in FIG. 4, when the preform compression molding die 33 is clamped, a space substantially the same as the nozzle portion 5a shown in FIG. 3 is formed.

次に、キャビティ金型34とスライドインサート金型36についてさらに詳細に述べる。
ノズル5のネックリング5g(図3参照)は、キャビティ金型34とスライドインサート金型36の境界部で形成され、ノズル形成孔36aの下部には、半径方向外側下方に広がる、ネックリング5gの上面側を形成するネックリング上形成部36cが設けられ、環状凸部34bの上端面にはネックリング5gの下面側を形成するネックリング下形成部34fが設けられている。
スライドインサート金型36には、ネックリング上形成部36cの外周側に隣接して押圧部36dを形成し、押圧部36dは摺動部材44の上端面44bに対応して当接する位置に配置される。これらの押圧部36dと上端面44bが圧接すると、摺動部材44の内周面が環状凸部34bの外周面を摺動する。こうして、当初ネックリング5gの厚さ以上にあった隙間を、ネックリング上形成部36cとネックリング下形成部34fとの間の長さを縮小して(図10のA及びBの隙間S1,S2参照)、ほぼネックリング5gの厚さにほぼ一致するように構成している。スライドインサート金型36の押圧部36dの周囲には、環状に下方へ突出する位置決め突部36eが形成されている。位置決め突部36eは、キャビティ金型34の位置決めガイド部材34cの内側に嵌合する。
Next, the cavity mold 34 and the slide insert mold 36 will be described in more detail.
The neck ring 5g (see FIG. 3) of the nozzle 5 is formed at the boundary between the cavity mold 34 and the slide insert mold 36. The lower part of the nozzle forming hole 36a is a neck ring 5g that spreads radially outward and downward. A neck ring upper forming portion 36c that forms the upper surface side is provided, and a neck ring lower forming portion 34f that forms the lower surface side of the neck ring 5g is provided on the upper end surface of the annular convex portion 34b.
The slide insert mold 36 is formed with a pressing portion 36d adjacent to the outer peripheral side of the neck ring upper forming portion 36c, and the pressing portion 36d is disposed at a position where the pressing portion 36d contacts the upper end surface 44b of the sliding member 44. The When these pressing portions 36d and the upper end surface 44b are in pressure contact, the inner peripheral surface of the sliding member 44 slides on the outer peripheral surface of the annular convex portion 34b. In this way, the gap between the neck ring upper forming portion 36c and the neck ring lower forming portion 34f is reduced by reducing the gap that was initially equal to or greater than the thickness of the neck ring 5g (the gaps S1, A and B in FIG. 10). S2), and is configured to substantially match the thickness of the neck ring 5g. A positioning protrusion 36e is formed around the pressing portion 36d of the slide insert mold 36 so as to protrude downward in an annular shape. The positioning protrusion 36e is fitted inside the positioning guide member 34c of the cavity mold 34.

図7は、キャビティ金型34に配設されている状態の気体供給手段を示す。キャビティ金型34の摺動部材44には、該摺動部材44の上端部内周面に位置させて上述した多孔質環44aが設けられている。多孔質環44aは多孔質材料で形成され、本実施形態では、ステンレス等の金属焼結材によって形成され、表面及び内部を網の目状に連通する孔径が約20μm乃至それ以下の微細な孔が無数に形成されている。この焼結材としては、例えば、ポーセラックスII(新東工業株式会社:ポーセラックスは登録商標),KuporeX(株式会社クボタ:登録商標),ヒポラス(株式会社神戸製鋼所:登録商標)などが挙げられる。この多孔質環44aを配設する箇所は、環状凸部34bの外周面と摺動部材44の内周面との摺動面近傍のプリフォーム形成面が好適であり、より好ましくは、保圧過程で摺動部材44が環状凸部34bと接触・摺動する部分である成形摺動面44a’(太線部)を含む域、もしくはその成形摺動面44a’の域にのみ配設するとよい。換言すれば、圧縮成形時において、圧縮成形初期乃至保圧中は成形孔に臨んで成形孔38を形成するが、保圧完了時において成形孔38に表れなくなる部分若しくはその周辺である。   FIG. 7 shows the gas supply means arranged in the cavity mold 34. The sliding member 44 of the cavity mold 34 is provided with the above-described porous ring 44 a located on the inner peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the sliding member 44. The porous ring 44a is formed of a porous material. In the present embodiment, the porous ring 44a is formed of a metal sintered material such as stainless steel, and has a pore diameter of about 20 μm or less that communicates the surface and the inside in a mesh shape. Is formed innumerably. Examples of the sintered material include Pocerax II (Shinto Kogyo Co., Ltd .: Pocerax is a registered trademark), KuporeX (Kubota Co., Ltd .: registered trademark), Hiporas (Kobe Steel Works: registered trademark), and the like. It is done. The place where the porous ring 44a is disposed is preferably a preform forming surface in the vicinity of the sliding surface between the outer peripheral surface of the annular convex portion 34b and the inner peripheral surface of the sliding member 44, and more preferably, the pressure holding pressure In the process, the sliding member 44 may be disposed only in a region including the molded sliding surface 44a ′ (thick line portion) where the sliding member 44 contacts and slides with the annular protrusion 34b, or only in the region of the molded sliding surface 44a ′. . In other words, at the time of compression molding, the molding hole 38 is formed facing the molding hole during the initial stage of compression molding or during pressure holding, but is a portion that does not appear in the molding hole 38 or its periphery when pressure holding is completed.

具体的には、本実施形態では、ネックリング上形成部36cとネックリング下形成部34fとの間の長さが縮小する部分であり、環状凸部34bの上端部が摺動部材44の内周面を摺動する部分に、少なくとも形成する。本実施形態では、摺動部材44の上内周端に多孔質環44aがフイットする段差部を形成して、多孔質環44aを段差無く(上端面44bや摺動部材44内周面(溝44cを除く)と面一に)嵌め込んでいる。   Specifically, in the present embodiment, the length between the neck ring upper forming portion 36 c and the neck ring lower forming portion 34 f is reduced, and the upper end portion of the annular convex portion 34 b is the inner portion of the sliding member 44. At least a portion that slides on the peripheral surface is formed. In the present embodiment, a step portion in which the porous ring 44a fits is formed at the upper inner peripheral end of the sliding member 44, and the porous ring 44a has no step (the upper end surface 44b or the inner peripheral surface of the sliding member 44 (groove). (Except 44c).

多孔質環44aに、気体を供給する気体供給手段48は、供給ノズル49がキャビティ金型34に併設され、供給ノズル49のノズル部49aがガイドリング37に形成した貫通溝37bを通して、先端部が摺動部材44の底部とキャビティ金型34の摺動床34dとの間の手前側(図7ではガイド部材34c下方の内周面)に配設され、それらの間に気体を供給することができる。
通常であれば、摺動部材44は、環状凸部34bと位置決めガイド部材34cとの間で気密性をもって配設され、摺動床34d側から多孔質環44aへ気体を供給するための孔を設ける。しかしながら、本実施形態では、摺動床34dから多孔質環44aに気体を供給できるように、摺動部材44の内周面の周方向に複数本の溝44cを上下方向に形成している(図6)。溝44cの深さは気体が通る程度の大きさでよい。気体供給手段48には、図示しない気体の供給源や圧力調整弁などが配設され、成形孔38に噴出させる気体は、空気や炭酸ガス、窒素などの不活性ガスを使用することができる。
The gas supply means 48 for supplying gas to the porous ring 44 a has a supply nozzle 49 provided alongside the cavity mold 34, and the nozzle portion 49 a of the supply nozzle 49 passes through a through groove 37 b formed in the guide ring 37, and the tip portion thereof Arranged on the near side between the bottom of the sliding member 44 and the sliding floor 34d of the cavity mold 34 (in FIG. 7, the inner peripheral surface below the guide member 34c), gas can be supplied therebetween.
Normally, the sliding member 44 is disposed with airtightness between the annular convex portion 34b and the positioning guide member 34c, and has a hole for supplying gas from the sliding floor 34d side to the porous ring 44a. Provide. However, in the present embodiment, a plurality of grooves 44c are formed vertically in the circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface of the sliding member 44 so that gas can be supplied from the sliding floor 34d to the porous ring 44a ( FIG. 6). The depth of the groove 44c may be as large as the gas passes. The gas supply means 48 is provided with a gas supply source (not shown), a pressure control valve, and the like, and an inert gas such as air, carbon dioxide, or nitrogen can be used as the gas to be ejected into the molding hole 38.

図5に戻って、円筒状のガイドリング37は、キャビティ金型34の外周面34eに配置され、その外周面34eを上下方向へ摺動することができる。ガイドリング37の上端部には、上方に向かって半径方向外側に拡径するテーパ状の内周円錐台面37aを形成している。圧縮成形金型33の型締め時では、外周円錐台面36fが、スライドインサート金型36の内周円錐台面37aを若干摺動した後嵌合する。
詳細な説明は省略するが、本実施形態では、圧縮成形金型33に圧縮成形中のプリフォーム5のノズル部5a、胴部5b及び底部5cを冷却する冷却装置などの流路が配設されている。流路には、冷却水の供給源から冷却水が供給され、冷却水の流量調整や温度調整などもすることができる。また、説明は省略するが、本実施形態では、キャビティ金型34、コア金型35及びスライドインサート金型36には、各々相対的に上下動させる移動手段、スライドインサート金型36にはさらにこれを左右に開閉するスライド機構を備えている。
Returning to FIG. 5, the cylindrical guide ring 37 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface 34 e of the cavity mold 34, and can slide on the outer peripheral surface 34 e in the vertical direction. At the upper end portion of the guide ring 37, a tapered inner peripheral truncated cone surface 37 a is formed that expands radially outward in the upward direction. At the time of clamping the compression molding die 33, the outer peripheral truncated cone surface 36f is fitted after being slightly slid on the inner peripheral truncated cone surface 37a of the slide insert mold 36.
Although a detailed description is omitted, in the present embodiment, the compression molding die 33 is provided with a flow path such as a cooling device for cooling the nozzle portion 5a, the body portion 5b, and the bottom portion 5c of the preform 5 during compression molding. ing. Cooling water is supplied to the flow path from a cooling water supply source, and the flow rate and temperature of the cooling water can be adjusted. Although not described, in the present embodiment, the cavity mold 34, the core mold 35, and the slide insert mold 36 are each provided with a moving means that relatively moves up and down, and the slide insert mold 36 further includes this. Is equipped with a slide mechanism that opens and closes left and right

図1に示すように、圧縮成形装置31の下流側には、回転式のプリフォームの取り出し機構50(図1)が配設され、圧縮成形装置31で圧縮成形されたプリフォーム5を圧縮成形装置31から取り出し、ブロー成形機52に移送する。ブロー成形機52は、プリフォームを高圧空気で延伸してPETボトルを成形する。必要であれば、ブロー成形機52にヒータなどの加熱設備を配設する。
ブロー成形機52の後流側にはPETボトルの取出機53が設けられ、ブロー成形機52から取り出したPETボトルを充填機側へ移送する。
As shown in FIG. 1, a rotary preform take-out mechanism 50 (FIG. 1) is disposed downstream of the compression molding apparatus 31, and the preform 5 compression molded by the compression molding apparatus 31 is compression molded. It is taken out from the device 31 and transferred to a blow molding machine 52. The blow molding machine 52 forms a PET bottle by stretching the preform with high-pressure air. If necessary, the blow molding machine 52 is provided with heating equipment such as a heater.
A PET bottle take-out machine 53 is provided on the downstream side of the blow molding machine 52, and the PET bottle taken out from the blow molding machine 52 is transferred to the filling machine side.

次に、プリフォームの圧縮成形金型33によるプリフォームの成形手順について説明する。
図2及び図8のAを参照にして、キャビティ金型34は回転支持体32によって円軌道を移動する。一方、カッタホイール8に設けられている溶融樹脂43を把持する把持部材9aが、キャビティ金型34とは別途の円軌道上を回転する。なお、図8のAは、圧縮成形装置31の複数ある圧縮成形金型33の1つを示している。初期状態ではキャビティ金型34、スライドインサート金型36及びコア金型35は上下に離間して配置されている。把持部材9aとキャビティ金型34の円軌道は上下方向に1接点(接線)を共通にして、キャビティ金型34の成形孔38の底部に溶融樹脂43を供給するように構成されている。
Next, a preform molding procedure using the preform compression molding die 33 will be described.
Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 8A, the cavity mold 34 moves on a circular path by the rotary support 32. On the other hand, the gripping member 9 a that grips the molten resin 43 provided on the cutter wheel 8 rotates on a circular orbit separate from the cavity mold 34. 8A shows one of a plurality of compression molding dies 33 of the compression molding apparatus 31. FIG. In the initial state, the cavity mold 34, the slide insert mold 36, and the core mold 35 are arranged apart from each other in the vertical direction. The circular orbits of the gripping member 9a and the cavity mold 34 are configured to supply the molten resin 43 to the bottom of the molding hole 38 of the cavity mold 34 with one contact (tangent line) in common in the vertical direction.

把持部材9aは、溶融樹脂43をキャビティ金型34に供給すると、キャビティ金型34の軌道から離れる。次に、左右に開状態であったスライドインサート金型36をコア本体35bの中心方向に向けて移動させて、図8のBに示すように閉じて環状にする。コア金型35が、閉じられたスライドインサート金型36へ下降すると、スライドインサート金型36は、上部で半円弧状突部36bが環状凹部35cと嵌合して一体となる。また、コア本体35bが、ノズル形成孔36aを貫通した状態となる。
図8のCに示すように、さらにコア金型35が下降すると、コア本体35bの先端部が成形孔38内に進入し、スライドインサート金型36がガイドリング37に当接する。すなわち、スライドインサート金型36の下側外周部にある外周円錐台面36fが、ガイドリング37の上側内周面の内周円錐台面37aに一時的に当接後、これらの面が互いに嵌合して摺動し、ガイドリング37とスライドインサート金型36とが芯出しされた状態で当接する。
When the molten resin 43 is supplied to the cavity mold 34, the gripping member 9 a moves away from the track of the cavity mold 34. Next, the slide insert mold 36 that has been opened to the left and right is moved toward the center of the core body 35b, and is closed into an annular shape as shown in FIG. 8B. When the core mold 35 is lowered to the closed slide insert mold 36, the slide insert mold 36 is integrated with the semicircular arc-shaped protrusion 36b fitted to the annular recess 35c at the top. Moreover, the core main body 35b will be in the state which penetrated the nozzle formation hole 36a.
As shown in FIG. 8C, when the core mold 35 is further lowered, the tip of the core body 35b enters the molding hole 38, and the slide insert mold 36 contacts the guide ring 37. That is, after the outer peripheral truncated cone surface 36f on the lower outer peripheral portion of the slide insert mold 36 is temporarily brought into contact with the inner peripheral truncated cone surface 37a on the upper inner peripheral surface of the guide ring 37, these surfaces are fitted to each other. The guide ring 37 and the slide insert mold 36 are in contact with each other in a centered state.

コア金型35の下降によって、コア本体35bが溶融樹脂43を圧縮し始め、プリフォーム底部を形成する側から胴部を形成する側に向かって流動させるとともに、さらなるコア金型35の下降によって、キャビティ金型34とスライドインサート金型36とが、位置決めガイド部材34cと位置決め突部36eとによって嵌合する。これらの位置決めガイド部材34cと位置決め突部36eは位置決め部材であり、スライドインサート金型36(及びコア金型35)とキャビティ金型34と、よりいっそうのセンター出しを行うことができる。
なお、本発明においては、摺動部材44がプリフォームの圧縮成形稼働中(プリフォームの生産中)、常に摺動される金型(本実施形態ではキャビティ金型34の環状凸部34b)に嵌合されている状態であり、プリフォームの圧縮成形,金型取り出しのたびに成形摺動部の抜き差しによる分離,結合がないため、前述の内周円錐台面37aと外周円錐台面36fとの嵌合によるガイドリンク37とスライドインサート金型36との芯出しにより、キャビティ金型34とスライドインサート金型36との芯出しがガイドリング37を介して十分行われる場合は、位置決めガイド部材34cと位置決め突部36eの嵌合は緩めに設定することが可能であるし、省略することも可能である。また、キャビティ金型34、コア金型35及びスライドインサート金型36を相対的に上下動させる移動手段の前後左右方向(水平方向)のガタつきに問題がないようであれば、さらにガイドリング37も省略可能である。ガイドリング37を省略する場合は、左右のスライドインサート金型36をコア金型35との当接押圧により型締めできるよう、環状凹部35cの外寄り内周面、及び、半円弧状突部36bの外周面を内周円錐台面37a及び外周円錐台面36fと同様に円錐台面同士で当接させるのが好ましい。
The core body 35b starts to compress the molten resin 43 by the lowering of the core mold 35 and flows from the side forming the preform bottom toward the side forming the body part, and by further lowering the core mold 35, The cavity mold 34 and the slide insert mold 36 are fitted by the positioning guide member 34c and the positioning projection 36e. The positioning guide member 34c and the positioning protrusion 36e are positioning members, and can further center the slide insert mold 36 (and the core mold 35) and the cavity mold 34.
In the present invention, the sliding member 44 is placed on a mold that is always slid during the preform compression molding operation (preform production) (in this embodiment, the annular convex portion 34b of the cavity mold 34). Since it is in a fitted state and there is no separation or connection by inserting / removing the molding sliding part each time the preform is compression-molded and the mold is taken out, the inner frusto-conical surface 37a and the outer frusto-conical surface 36f are fitted. When the centering of the cavity mold 34 and the slide insert mold 36 is sufficiently performed via the guide ring 37 by the centering of the guide link 37 and the slide insert mold 36, the positioning guide member 34c and the positioning guide member 37c are positioned. The fitting of the protrusion 36e can be set loosely or can be omitted. If there is no problem in the back-and-forth and left-right (horizontal) rattling of the moving means for moving the cavity mold 34, the core mold 35, and the slide insert mold 36 relative to each other, the guide ring 37 is provided. Can also be omitted. When the guide ring 37 is omitted, the outer peripheral inner surface of the annular recess 35c and the semicircular arc-shaped protrusion 36b are provided so that the left and right slide insert molds 36 can be clamped by contact pressing with the core mold 35. It is preferable that the outer peripheral surfaces of the circular truncated cone surfaces are brought into contact with each other in the same manner as the inner peripheral circular truncated cone surface 37a and the outer peripheral circular truncated cone surface 36f.

圧縮成形が行われると、図8のC、図9のDに示すように、キャビティ金型34、コア金型35及びスライドインサート金型36によって、プリフォーム形状の隙間が形成され、溶融樹脂43がその隙間を充填しようとする。
詳しくは、図10のAに示すように、スライドインサート金型36の押圧部36dが摺動部材44の上端面44bに圧接(当接)することによって、プリフォーム形状の隙間が形成される。ネックリング下形成部34fとネックリング上形成部36c(以下、ネックリング形成部34f,36cとする)の隙間は、実際のプリフォーム5のネックリング5gの厚さよりも大きな隙間S1を有している。
When compression molding is performed, a preform-shaped gap is formed by the cavity mold 34, the core mold 35, and the slide insert mold 36 as shown in FIG. 8C and FIG. Tries to fill the gap.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10A, the pressing portion 36d of the slide insert mold 36 is brought into pressure contact (contact) with the upper end surface 44b of the sliding member 44, whereby a preform-shaped gap is formed. The gap between the neck ring lower forming portion 34f and the neck ring upper forming portion 36c (hereinafter referred to as neck ring forming portions 34f and 36c) has a gap S1 larger than the thickness of the neck ring 5g of the actual preform 5. Yes.

そして、コア金型35によって溶融樹脂がさらに圧縮され、プリフォーム胴部側からの溶融樹脂の流動はネックリング側とノズル側とへ分岐しようとするが、図8のCに示すように、少なくともネックリング下形成部34f(ネックリング形成部34f、36c)に溶融樹脂が浸入する前に、空気供給手段48によって多孔質環44aに気体を供給し、ネックリング形成部34f,36cの間の隙間S1に気体を噴出・圧入させる。したがって、図9のDに示すように、溶融樹脂43がネックリング形成部34f,36cを通過する際には、摺動面44dへの接触が抑制される。
気体の噴出圧力は圧縮成形中の溶融樹脂が成形孔38内を満たす前には多孔質環44aの摺動面44dに溶融樹脂が接しない程度以上に圧力調整するのが好ましい。すなわち、圧縮流動されている溶融樹脂が最後に摺動面44dに到達して成形孔38内を満たせる程度以上に圧力調整するのが好ましい。
Then, the molten resin is further compressed by the core mold 35, and the flow of the molten resin from the preform body side tends to branch to the neck ring side and the nozzle side, but as shown in FIG. Before the molten resin enters the neck ring lower forming portion 34f (neck ring forming portions 34f, 36c), a gas is supplied to the porous ring 44a by the air supply means 48, and a gap between the neck ring forming portions 34f, 36c. Gas is ejected and pressed into S1. Therefore, as shown to D of FIG. 9, when the molten resin 43 passes the neck ring formation parts 34f and 36c, the contact to the sliding surface 44d is suppressed.
It is preferable that the pressure of the gas jet is adjusted so that the molten resin is not in contact with the sliding surface 44d of the porous ring 44a before the molten resin during compression fills the molding hole 38. That is, it is preferable to adjust the pressure so that the molten resin that has been compressed and flowed finally reaches the sliding surface 44d and fills the molding hole 38.

そして、図9のEに示すように成形孔38内が溶融樹脂で満たされた直後は、コア金型35は最下端位置よりも僅かに上方にある(図10のAに示す状態)。スライドインサート金型36、コア金型35、キャビティ金型34は、冷却水の循環により冷却されているので、型締め時には溶融樹脂43が冷却されていき、溶融樹脂の収縮が生じる。
この溶融樹脂の収縮分に合わせて、さらにコア金型35が下降して保圧がされる。すなわち、コア金型35が下降すると、押圧部36dがコイルバネ45の付勢力に抗して摺動部材44を下方へ押圧する。コア金型35の下降によって、図10のBに示すように、ネックリング形成部34f,36cの間の隙間S2が狭くなる。この際、摺動部材44の内面および多孔質環44aの成形摺動面44a’(図7、X部拡大図)と環状凸部34bの外面とが摺動する。
As shown in FIG. 9E, immediately after the inside of the molding hole 38 is filled with the molten resin, the core mold 35 is slightly above the lowermost position (the state shown in FIG. 10A). Since the slide insert mold 36, the core mold 35, and the cavity mold 34 are cooled by circulation of cooling water, the molten resin 43 is cooled during mold clamping, and the molten resin contracts.
In accordance with the shrinkage of the molten resin, the core mold 35 is further lowered to hold the pressure. That is, when the core mold 35 is lowered, the pressing portion 36 d presses the sliding member 44 downward against the urging force of the coil spring 45. As the core mold 35 is lowered, the gap S2 between the neck ring forming portions 34f and 36c is narrowed as shown in FIG. 10B. At this time, the inner surface of the sliding member 44 and the molding sliding surface 44a ′ (FIG. 7, enlarged view of the X portion) of the porous ring 44a slide with the outer surface of the annular convex portion 34b.

多孔質環44aで気体が噴出されない場合は、早期にネックリング形成部34f,36cの間の隙間S2に溶融樹脂が入り込み、溶融樹脂が多孔質環44aの内面と接触し、その後、環状凸部34bが多孔質環44aの内面を相対的に上昇すると、溶融樹脂が多孔質環44aの内面に接触しながら大きく上昇する。このように、溶融樹脂が大きく動いている部位に触れると、溶融樹脂がPETのように配向性のある性質のものであると、過度の樹脂配向を起こし、プリフォームの外観に不良をもたらし、ブロー成形時においてはネックリングが変形するおそれがある。 When the gas is not ejected from the porous ring 44a, the molten resin enters the gap S2 between the neck ring forming portions 34f and 36c at an early stage, the molten resin comes into contact with the inner surface of the porous ring 44a, and then the annular convex portion When 34b relatively rises on the inner surface of the porous ring 44a, the molten resin rises greatly while contacting the inner surface of the porous ring 44a. In this way, when the molten resin is in contact with the part that is moving greatly, if the molten resin is of an oriented nature such as PET, excessive resin orientation occurs, resulting in poor appearance of the preform, At the time of blow molding, the neck ring may be deformed.

本実施形態では、気体噴出手段48によって多孔質環44aの摺動面44dから気体を噴出しているので、内面と溶融樹脂の接触を抑制させることができる。気体は溝44cの隙間を通り溝44cの上端から多孔質環44aの網目状の通路全体に行き渡り、ネックリング形成部34f,36c間の隙間S2の周部全体に気体を噴出(図7のX部拡大図参照)することによって、圧縮成形の当初、多孔質環44aの摺動面44dに溶融樹脂を接触しないようにする。そして、保圧時において、好ましくはコア金型35が最下端位置に達したときに、多孔質環44aと環状凸部34bとの摺動が終了し、隙間S2がプリフォーム5のネックリング5bと同じ間隔になるときに、溶融樹脂が摺動面44dに到達するように気体の圧力調整や気体噴出のON/OFF、圧力開放を設定すると、多孔質環44aの成形摺動面44a’が成形孔38のネックリング成形面を構成しなくなるので、溶融樹脂と成形摺動面44a’との接触が免れることができる。
図8を参照にした気体噴出開始のタイミングとしては、例えば、キャビティ金型34,コア金型35,スライドインサート金型36が組み合わさって成形孔38が形成された直後(図8C)が挙げられるが、より好適には樹脂がネックリング部に差し掛かったとき(図8Cより僅かに後)が好ましい。また、気体噴出のタイミングは、タイマーなどでもよいが、雌金型の位置や雄金型位置、あるいは雄金型と雌金型との相対位置関係から成形孔38が形成されたときまたはその直後に気体を噴出するように設定すると好ましい。
こうして、溶融樹脂の樹脂配向を防止することができ、品質のよいプリフォームを成形することができる。
In the present embodiment, since the gas is ejected from the sliding surface 44d of the porous ring 44a by the gas ejection means 48, the contact between the inner surface and the molten resin can be suppressed. The gas passes through the gap of the groove 44c, spreads from the upper end of the groove 44c to the entire mesh-like passage of the porous ring 44a, and jets the gas to the entire periphery of the gap S2 between the neck ring forming portions 34f and 36c (X in FIG. 7). By referring to the enlarged view of the part, the molten resin is prevented from contacting the sliding surface 44d of the porous ring 44a at the beginning of compression molding. At the time of holding pressure, preferably, when the core mold 35 reaches the lowermost position, the sliding between the porous ring 44a and the annular protrusion 34b is finished, and the gap S2 becomes the neck ring 5b of the preform 5. When the gas pressure adjustment, gas ejection ON / OFF, and pressure release are set so that the molten resin reaches the sliding surface 44d at the same interval, the molded sliding surface 44a 'of the porous ring 44a Since the neck ring molding surface of the molding hole 38 is not formed, the contact between the molten resin and the molding sliding surface 44a ′ can be avoided.
As the timing of the gas ejection start with reference to FIG. 8, for example, immediately after the cavity hole 34, the core mold 35, and the slide insert mold 36 are combined to form the molding hole 38 (FIG. 8C). However, it is more preferable that the resin reaches the neck ring portion (slightly after FIG. 8C). The timing of gas ejection may be a timer or the like, but when the molding hole 38 is formed or immediately after the position of the female mold, the position of the male mold, or the relative positional relationship between the male mold and the female mold. It is preferable to set so as to eject gas.
Thus, the resin orientation of the molten resin can be prevented, and a high-quality preform can be molded.

また、従来では摺動部の一方をスライドインサート金型に設け、摺動部の他方をキャビティ金型に設けてそれぞれを嵌合摺動部とし、これらの金型を上下に移動させながら、摺動部を嵌合(;分離/結合)させていたので、従来ではスライドインサート金型とキャビティ金型との位置決めを行うガイドリング37や、位置決めガイド部材34cおよび位置決め突部36eを高精度に設けるなど、成形孔の一部をなす嵌合摺動部が厳しい嵌め合い代の中で成形(金型の分離/結合)のたびに極めて正確に嵌め合わせられるよう、工夫や配慮が必要であった。
本実施形態では、摺動部材44をキャビティ金型34の環状凸部34に設け成形摺動部としたので、摺動する部分がキャビティ金型34に常に接触することとなり、摺動部(成形摺動部)の嵌め合わせのための苦慮が必要なくなった。よって、圧縮成形金型33の製造コストを安くすることができる。
また、ネックリング5gを形成する箇所の近傍に成形摺動部を設けているため、保圧中、ネックリング部を形成する部分に溜まっている樹脂を、間近にあるノズル側に保圧補充できるので、ノズルのヒケを抑制でき、効果的に保圧することができる。
さらに、ネックリングの半径方向から偏った荷重を加えることなく、上下方向の摺動により保圧を行うため、ノズルやネックリングの半径方向の歪みは抑制される。
Also, conventionally, one of the sliding parts is provided in the slide insert mold, the other of the sliding parts is provided in the cavity mold and each is used as a fitting sliding part, and the sliding parts are moved while moving these molds up and down. Since the moving part is fitted (separated / coupled), the guide ring 37 for positioning the slide insert mold and the cavity mold, the positioning guide member 34c, and the positioning projection 36e are provided with high accuracy. For example, it was necessary to devise and consider the fitting sliding part that forms part of the molding hole so that it can be fitted very accurately each time molding (mold separation / bonding) in a tight fitting allowance. .
In this embodiment, since the sliding member 44 is provided on the annular convex portion 34 of the cavity mold 34 to form a molding sliding portion, the sliding portion always comes into contact with the cavity mold 34, and the sliding portion (molding) No need to worry about fitting the sliding part). Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the compression mold 33 can be reduced.
In addition, since the molding sliding portion is provided in the vicinity of the location where the neck ring 5g is formed, the resin accumulated in the portion forming the neck ring portion can be retained and replenished to the nearby nozzle side during the retention. Therefore, sink marks of the nozzle can be suppressed and pressure can be effectively retained.
Furthermore, since pressure holding is performed by sliding in the vertical direction without applying a load deviating from the radial direction of the neck ring, distortion in the radial direction of the nozzle and the neck ring is suppressed.

なお、隙間S2が形成されたときに、多孔質環44aの内面が成形孔38から遮蔽される場合では、供給ノズル49からの気体の噴出を停止させず、連続的に気体をノズル部49aへ供給し続けても良い。摺動面44dが閉塞されるので、成形孔38への気体の噴出が自動的に停止される。また、圧縮成形時の最終時において、成形孔38に摺動面44dを露出させるような場合では、摺動が終了したときのタイミングを見計らって、供給ノズル49からの気体の噴出を別途設けられたバルブなどを制御することによって停止または圧力を開放するとよい。
具体的には、気体噴出終了のタイミング、または気体噴出終了と共に圧力開放するタイミングとしては、圧縮成形終了直前(本実施形態では図9E,F:拡大図J,K)が好適である。また、気体噴出終了、または気体噴出終了と共に圧力開放するタイミングは、気体噴出のときと同様、タイマーの他に、雌金型の位置や雄金型位置、あるいは雄金型と雌金型との相対位置関係から割り出して設定すると好ましい。
気体の噴出を停止または圧力を開放しても、多孔質環44aの気孔は微細であるので、溶融樹脂が入り込むことも詰まることもない。
圧縮成形が終了すると、コア金型35及びスライドインサート金型36が上方へ移動し、キャビティ金型34との離型が行われる。次いで、プリフォーム5からコア本体35bが引き抜かれる。そして、スライドインサート金型36が左右に開かれることによって、プリフォーム5がスライドインサート金型36から取り除かれる。
When the inner surface of the porous ring 44a is shielded from the molding hole 38 when the gap S2 is formed, the gas is not stopped from being supplied from the supply nozzle 49, and the gas is continuously supplied to the nozzle portion 49a. You may continue to supply. Since the sliding surface 44d is closed, the ejection of gas into the forming hole 38 is automatically stopped. Further, in the case where the sliding surface 44d is exposed in the molding hole 38 at the final time of compression molding, gas ejection from the supply nozzle 49 can be separately provided in view of the timing when the sliding is completed. It is recommended to stop or release the pressure by controlling the valve.
Specifically, the timing immediately before the end of the compression molding (FIG. 9E, F: enlarged views J, K in this embodiment) is suitable as the timing of the end of the gas ejection or the timing of releasing the pressure at the end of the gas ejection. In addition to the timer, the timing of releasing the pressure at the end of the gas ejection or at the end of the gas ejection is the same as the time of the gas ejection, the position of the female mold, the male mold position, or the male mold and the female mold. It is preferable to calculate and set from the relative positional relationship.
Even if the gas ejection is stopped or the pressure is released, the pores of the porous ring 44a are fine, so that the molten resin does not enter or clog.
When the compression molding is completed, the core mold 35 and the slide insert mold 36 move upward, and the mold release from the cavity mold 34 is performed. Next, the core body 35 b is pulled out from the preform 5. The preform 5 is removed from the slide insert mold 36 by opening the slide insert mold 36 to the left and right.

図1に示すように、圧縮成形装置31の回転方向の下流側には、キャビティ金型34から成形されたプリフォーム5を取り出す取り出し機構50を配設し、スライドインサート金型36から取り除かれたプリフォーム5が取り出し機構50によって下流側のブロー成形機に回転搬送される。
ところで、圧縮成形終了後のプリフォームの取り出しやブロー成形における圧縮エアーのシール(ノズルシール)の際にプリフォーム5のノズル部5aの変形を防止する観点からノズル部5aの温度は低い方が好ましく、一方、ブロー成形するためには、胴部5bの温度が低いと近赤外などの赤外線ヒータや熱風、幅射熱などで熱を加える必要がある。よって、成形されたプリフォーム5は、取り出し機構50において、プリフォームの搬送中に温度が低い場合は、赤外線ヒータなどでプリフォーム5を加熱する。
As shown in FIG. 1, on the downstream side in the rotation direction of the compression molding apparatus 31, a take-out mechanism 50 for taking out the preform 5 molded from the cavity mold 34 is disposed and removed from the slide insert mold 36. The preform 5 is rotated and conveyed by the take-out mechanism 50 to the blow molding machine on the downstream side.
By the way, the temperature of the nozzle portion 5a is preferably lower from the viewpoint of preventing deformation of the nozzle portion 5a of the preform 5 when taking out the preform after completion of compression molding or sealing compressed air (nozzle seal) in blow molding. On the other hand, in order to perform blow molding, when the temperature of the body portion 5b is low, it is necessary to apply heat with an infrared heater such as near infrared, hot air, or width radiation heat. Therefore, the preform 5 is heated by the infrared heater or the like when the temperature is low during the conveyance of the preform in the take-out mechanism 50.

圧縮成型金型33より圧縮成形が終わったプリフォームが逐次連続して取り出されブロー成形機52に投入されるため、ブロー成形機52の成形速度が圧縮成形金型33の成形速度以上であれば、圧縮成形されたプリフォームはブロー成形までの待機時間がなく、すぐさまブロー成形が可能となる。取り出し機構50からブロー成形機に搬送されたプリフォーム5はブロー成形金型にセットされ、高圧空気が注入され縦、横方向に延伸して容器に成形される。なお、圧縮成形装置31、取り出し機構50およびブロー成形機52を歯車等により機械的に連結させるか、若しくはサーボモータにより電気的に同期させ、圧縮成形されたプリフォームがブロー成形までの時間を一定とすると、ブロー成形直前の個々のプリフォーム温度のばらつきを抑えることができるので、安定したブロー成形が可能となる。
本実施形態では、保圧時における圧縮成形金型の成形孔を一時的に構成するような摺動する部分や、その近傍に、気体を噴出させて溶融樹脂の金型摺動部分への接触を防止し、著しい樹脂配向を防止できる。よって、その後のブロー成形によって品質の良いボトルを形成することができる。
Since the preforms that have been compression-molded from the compression-molding mold 33 are successively taken out and put into the blow-molding machine 52, if the molding speed of the blow-molding machine 52 is equal to or higher than the molding speed of the compression-molding mold 33 The preform that has been compression molded does not have a waiting time until blow molding, and can be blow molded immediately. The preform 5 conveyed from the take-out mechanism 50 to the blow molding machine is set in a blow molding die, injected with high-pressure air, and stretched in the vertical and horizontal directions to be molded into a container. The compression molding device 31, the take-out mechanism 50, and the blow molding machine 52 are mechanically connected by gears or the like, or are electrically synchronized by a servo motor, so that the compression molded preform has a constant time until blow molding. In this case, variations in individual preform temperatures immediately before blow molding can be suppressed, so that stable blow molding is possible.
In the present embodiment, the sliding portion that temporarily forms the molding hole of the compression molding die during holding pressure, or the vicinity of the sliding portion, gas is jetted to contact the molten resin mold sliding portion. Can be prevented, and significant resin orientation can be prevented. Therefore, a quality bottle can be formed by subsequent blow molding.

図11は、多孔質環の配設場所を変更した例を示す。
上記実施形態では、図7に示すように、多孔質環44aを摺動部材44に装着し、摺動部材44の内周面に溝44cを形成して多孔質環44aに気体を供給したが、図11に示すように、多孔質環36gをスライドインサート金型36のネックリング形成部に装着し、摺動部材44には、溝44cに代えて摺動部材44の内部に多孔質環36gの底面まで延びる気体を流通させる通気孔44c’を形成し、多孔質環36gに気体を供給することもできる。
なお、多孔質環44aはインサートスライド金型36と同様に2分割(若しくは2分割以上)となり、併せて多孔質間44aとなる。また、インサートスライド金型36に通気孔を形成し、インサートスライド金型36側から気体を流通させることも構成上可能である。
このように構成しても、上記実施形態と同様の効果を得ることができ、さらに設計上のレイアウトの向上を図ることができる。
FIG. 11 shows an example in which the location of the porous ring is changed.
In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the porous ring 44a is attached to the sliding member 44, and the groove 44c is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the sliding member 44 to supply gas to the porous ring 44a. 11, the porous ring 36g is attached to the neck ring forming portion of the slide insert mold 36, and the sliding member 44 has a porous ring 36g inside the sliding member 44 instead of the groove 44c. It is also possible to form a vent hole 44c ′ through which a gas extending to the bottom of the gas flows and supply the gas to the porous ring 36g.
The porous ring 44a is divided into two parts (or more than two parts) in the same manner as the insert slide mold 36, and together with the porous space 44a. Further, it is possible to form a vent hole in the insert slide mold 36 and to circulate gas from the insert slide mold 36 side.
Even if comprised in this way, the effect similar to the said embodiment can be acquired, and also the improvement in a design layout can be aimed at.

図12は、気体導入部の変形例を示す。
上記実施形態では、摺動部材44に多孔質環44aを配設して気体導入を行ったが、本変形例では、多孔質環44aを用いない例であり、図12はスライドインサート金型36の分割面を正面にして見た端面図である。
図12のように、スライドインサート金型36の分割面にプリフォーム5のネックリング5g(図3参照)の形成部に臨む(連通する)部分に深さ約20μm程度の溝67を気体導入部として形成している。溝67は気体供給用孔68と連通し、気体供給用孔68はスライドインサート金型36の内部を貫通する管路を介して気体供給装置69と連結されている。この溝67を気体導入部として活用し、前後に分断されているスライドインサート金型36が結合したときにできるその約20μm程度のスリット状の溝67から気体を圧入するようにしてもよい。気体の圧入によって、ネックリング5gの形成部への溶融樹脂の入り込みを遅らせることができる。
また、図12のように、プリフォーム5のノズル天面側に気体を流通させ、溶融樹脂の入り込み防止するエアベント70を形成し、エアベント70は気体吸引用孔71と連通し、エアベント7を介して気体吸引装置72を接続するようにしてもよい。このノズル天面側のエアベント70については、ノズル部5a(図3)側へ樹脂の流動を促進するよう、気体を吸引するようにしている。
FIG. 12 shows a modification of the gas introduction part.
In the above embodiment, the porous ring 44a is disposed on the sliding member 44 and gas is introduced. However, in this modification, the porous ring 44a is not used, and FIG. It is the end elevation which looked at the division surface of this.
As shown in FIG. 12, a groove 67 having a depth of about 20 .mu.m is formed in a gas introduction portion at a portion facing (communicating with) the formation portion of the neck ring 5g (see FIG. 3) of the preform 5 on the split surface of the slide insert mold 36. It is formed as. The groove 67 communicates with the gas supply hole 68, and the gas supply hole 68 is connected to the gas supply device 69 through a pipe line penetrating the inside of the slide insert mold 36. The groove 67 may be used as a gas introduction part, and gas may be press-fitted from the slit-shaped groove 67 having a thickness of about 20 μm formed when the slide insert mold 36 divided in the front and rear is coupled. The injection of the molten resin into the formation part of the neck ring 5g can be delayed by the gas injection.
Further, as shown in FIG. 12, an air vent 70 is formed to flow gas on the nozzle top surface side of the preform 5 to prevent the molten resin from entering. The air vent 70 communicates with the gas suction hole 71 and passes through the air vent 7. The gas suction device 72 may be connected. With respect to the air vent 70 on the nozzle top surface side, gas is sucked so as to promote the flow of resin toward the nozzle portion 5a (FIG. 3).

図13は、気体導入部の他の変形例である。
本変形例では、図7における摺動部材44の多孔質環44aを排し、図13に示すように摺動部材44と環状凸部34bとの嵌合のクリアランス(隙間)cを約20μmに設定し、摺動面44dに臨む輪状のスリットsを形成して、気体を導入可能にしてもよい。気体の導入は、摺動部材44に形成された溝44cから供給される。
さらに、上記実施形態では、圧縮成形金型の成形対象をプリフォームとしたが、図14又は図15に示すようなブロー成形する必要の無い通常の雄型61と雌型62とで形成されるカップ63などの圧縮成形による製品にも適用が可能である。
すなわち、図14では、雄型61に多孔質環64を配設し、カップ63のフランジ63aを形成する雌型62の摺動面62aに気体を供給するようにしている。また、図15では、雌型62に多孔質環64を配設し、多孔質環64は摺動部材65と協働してカップ63の足部63bを形成し、摺動部材65との摺動面64aを有する。
その際は、図14のように上端にフランジ63aを備えたカップ63でもよいが、図15のように例えば足つきのカップ63で、足部63bと胴部63cとの方向へ樹脂流動が2方向(若しくは多方向)へ分岐するものの方が、成形摺動面64a側への樹脂の流動を抑えることができ、成形早期の溶融樹脂の成形摺動面64a側への流入を抑制し、過度の樹脂配向を抑制する点で、より効果的である。
なお、図14及び図15中の符号66は多孔質環64への気体導入孔である。
FIG. 13 shows another modification of the gas introduction part.
In this modification, the porous ring 44a of the sliding member 44 in FIG. 7 is eliminated, and the clearance (gap) c for fitting between the sliding member 44 and the annular convex portion 34b is about 20 μm as shown in FIG. The gas may be introduced by forming an annular slit s facing the sliding surface 44d. The introduction of gas is supplied from a groove 44 c formed in the sliding member 44.
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the molding object of the compression molding die is a preform, but it is formed by a normal male die 61 and a female die 62 that do not require blow molding as shown in FIG. 14 or FIG. The present invention can also be applied to products by compression molding such as the cup 63.
That is, in FIG. 14, a porous ring 64 is disposed on the male mold 61, and gas is supplied to the sliding surface 62 a of the female mold 62 that forms the flange 63 a of the cup 63. In FIG. 15, a porous ring 64 is provided in the female mold 62, and the porous ring 64 cooperates with the sliding member 65 to form a foot 63 b of the cup 63, and slides with the sliding member 65. A moving surface 64a is provided.
In this case, a cup 63 having a flange 63a at the upper end as shown in FIG. 14 may be used. However, as shown in FIG. 15, for example, with a footed cup 63, the resin flows in two directions in the direction of the foot 63b and the trunk 63c. The one that branches in (or multi-directional) can suppress the flow of resin to the molding sliding surface 64a side, suppress the inflow of molten resin to the molding sliding surface 64a side in the early stage of molding, This is more effective in suppressing resin orientation.
Note that reference numeral 66 in FIGS. 14 and 15 is a gas introduction hole into the porous ring 64.

図16は、本発明の第2の実施形態である。
なお、本実施形態では、上記第1の実施形態に対して、摺動部材のみ異なるので、他の部分については、上述の第1の実施形態で用いた符号を付して説明する。
上記第1の実施形態では、摺動部材44に気体噴出環44aを備え、気体噴出環44aから気体を噴出することによって、圧縮成形時における成形摺動面での溶融樹脂の樹脂配向を防止するのが好ましい形態であった。しかしながら、上述したプリフォームのネックリングなどの樹脂配向が問題とならない場合は、図7(X部拡大図)に示すような気体導入部(多孔質環44a、溝44c)や気体供給手段48は必要としない。
したがって、プリフォームのネックリングに限らず、このような樹脂配向が特に問題とならない成形品では、気体の噴出は必要がないので、気体導入部や気体供給手段は必要としない。
本実施形態では、図16に示すように、摺動部材54の本体54aの内面は段差や溝のない内周面54bを形成し、内周面には筒部材54cが配設されている。本体54aと筒部材54cは異種材料で形成され、筒部材54cは摩擦係数が小さく磨耗に強い材料で形成されている。
このように、本体54aと筒部材54cを異種材料とすることによって、筒部材54cの部分のみを高価な材料とすることで、キャビティ金型の材料コストを軽減することができる。
なお、本実施形態では、摺動部材54の本体54aと筒部材54cについては別部材(2部材)によって形成したが、一体成形で1つの部材で形成してもよい。
また、摺動部材54の本体54aの材質は、上記第1の実施形態と同様に、金型用の合金材であれば特に問わないが、好ましい鋼材SKD11や耐摩耗性銅合金SAM214(日立金属製)を使用している。
FIG. 16 is a second embodiment of the present invention.
In the present embodiment, since only the sliding member is different from the first embodiment, the other portions will be described with the reference numerals used in the first embodiment.
In the first embodiment, the sliding member 44 includes the gas ejection ring 44a, and the gas is ejected from the gas ejection ring 44a, thereby preventing the resin orientation of the molten resin on the molding sliding surface during compression molding. Was the preferred form. However, when the resin orientation such as the neck ring of the preform is not a problem, the gas introduction part (porous ring 44a, groove 44c) and the gas supply means 48 as shown in FIG. do not need.
Therefore, not only the neck ring of the preform, but also a molded product in which such resin orientation is not particularly problematic, it is not necessary to eject gas, so that no gas introduction part or gas supply means is required.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, the inner surface of the main body 54a of the sliding member 54 forms an inner peripheral surface 54b having no steps or grooves, and a cylindrical member 54c is disposed on the inner peripheral surface. The main body 54a and the cylindrical member 54c are formed of different materials, and the cylindrical member 54c is formed of a material having a small friction coefficient and strong against wear.
Thus, by using different materials for the main body 54a and the cylindrical member 54c, it is possible to reduce the material cost of the cavity mold by making only the portion of the cylindrical member 54c an expensive material.
In this embodiment, the main body 54a and the cylindrical member 54c of the sliding member 54 are formed by separate members (two members), but may be formed by a single member by integral molding.
The material of the main body 54a of the sliding member 54 is not particularly limited as long as it is an alloy material for a mold, as in the first embodiment, but a preferable steel material SKD11 or wear-resistant copper alloy SAM214 (Hitachi Metals). Use).

図17は、本発明の第3の実施形態である。
なお、本実施形態では、上記第1の実施形態に対して、摺動部材の配置箇所のみ異なるので、同一名称部分については、第1の実施形態で用いた符号を付して説明する。
上記実施形態では、摺動部材44をキャビティ金型34に設けたが、図17のように、スライドインサート金型36側に摺動部を設けてもよい。なお、図17中の圧縮成形金型の中心線よりも左側は、溶融樹脂の保圧前の圧縮状態、右側は保圧時の圧縮状態を示す切断端面図である。
圧縮成形金型33のスライドインサート金型36の、成形孔(この実施形態では図3におけるプリフォーム5のノズル5a外面乃至ネックリング5g上面の形成部分)の下部周縁部に摺動部材44の収容孔36gを形成し、収容孔36gに摺動部材44を上下方向へ摺動可能に配設し、収容孔36gの上面と摺動部材44の上面との間にはコイルバネ45を配設し、摺動部材44を下方側へ付勢している。収容孔36gの下部側には、摺動部材44の抜け止め及びストッパとしての役割を果たすストッパリング60を取付けている。スライドインサート金型36が下降若しくはキャビティ金型34が上昇すると、摺動部材44は、摺動部材を設けなかったキャビティ金型34によって押圧されることにより、収容孔36gを上方へ摺動する。
FIG. 17 shows a third embodiment of the present invention.
In addition, in this embodiment, since only the arrangement | positioning location of a sliding member differs with respect to the said 1st Embodiment, about the same name part, the code | symbol used in 1st Embodiment is attached | subjected and demonstrated.
In the above embodiment, the sliding member 44 is provided in the cavity mold 34, but a sliding portion may be provided on the slide insert mold 36 side as shown in FIG. Note that the left side of the center line of the compression mold in FIG. 17 is a cut end view showing the compressed state before holding the molten resin, and the right side showing the compressed state during holding.
The sliding member 44 is accommodated in the lower peripheral edge of the molding hole (in this embodiment, the forming portion of the nozzle 5a outer surface or the neck ring 5g upper surface of the preform 5 in FIG. 3) of the slide insert die 36 of the compression molding die 33. A hole 36g is formed, the sliding member 44 is slidably disposed in the accommodation hole 36g in the vertical direction, and a coil spring 45 is disposed between the upper surface of the accommodation hole 36g and the upper surface of the sliding member 44, The sliding member 44 is urged downward. A stopper ring 60 that functions as a stopper and a stopper for the sliding member 44 is attached to the lower side of the accommodation hole 36g. When the slide insert mold 36 is lowered or the cavity mold 34 is raised, the sliding member 44 is pressed by the cavity mold 34 without the sliding member, thereby sliding upward in the accommodation hole 36g.

ただし、スライドインサート金型36は半割型のため摺動部材44の製作が幾分難しくなるので、上記実施形態1,2のようにキャビティ金型34側に設ける方が好ましい。また、図17では、図4などに示すガイドリング37および位置決めガイド部材34cと位置決め突部36eを採用しておらず、摺動部材44は一種類の材料で製作されている。
なお、ネックリング5g外周側面を形成する金型は、上記実施形態1(図10)のように摺動部材44でもよいし、図17のようにキャビティ金型34でもよい。また、図示しないが、スライドインサート金型36によってネックリング5g外周側面を形成してもよいし、摺動部材44を、スライドインサート金型36またはキャビティ金型34と組み合わせてネックリング5g外周側面を形成してもよい。
However, since the slide insert mold 36 is a half mold, it is somewhat difficult to manufacture the slide member 44. Therefore, it is preferable to provide the slide insert mold 36 on the cavity mold 34 side as in the first and second embodiments. In FIG. 17, the guide ring 37, the positioning guide member 34c and the positioning protrusion 36e shown in FIG. 4 and the like are not employed, and the sliding member 44 is made of one kind of material.
The mold that forms the outer peripheral side surface of the neck ring 5g may be the sliding member 44 as in the first embodiment (FIG. 10) or the cavity mold 34 as shown in FIG. Although not shown, the outer peripheral side surface of the neck ring 5g may be formed by the slide insert mold 36, or the outer peripheral side surface of the neck ring 5g is combined with the slide insert mold 36 or the cavity mold 34. It may be formed.

以上、本発明を実施形態に基づいて添付図面を参照しながら詳細に説明したが、本発明は上記実施形態及び変形例に限定されるものではなく、本発明の範囲を逸脱することなく、更に他の変形あるいは変更が可能である。
上記実施形態では、キャビティ金型34、図12に示す変形例では、スライドインサート金型36に気体導入部を備えたが、例えば、特許文献4のようにコア金型に摺動面を備えた金型の場合は、コア金型に気体導入部を設け、気体導入のタイミングを制御するようにしてもよい。また、特許文献1のように別々の金型にそれぞれ摺動面を備えている金型に適用可能である。また、これまでの実施形態では個々の金型に気体導入部を設けていたが、複数の金型に備えるようにしてもよい。
このように構成しても、上記実施形態と同様の効果を得ることができ、さらに設計上のレイアウトの向上を図ることができる。
また、上記実施形態では、保圧時にコイルバネ45によって摺動部材44を摺動させて圧縮成形時における保圧を行ったが、コイルバネ45に代えてゴムなどの弾性部材や空気ばね、空圧シリンダ、油圧シリンダ、モータなどの機構を用いるなどの他の摺動手段を用いることができる。
また、摺動部材44はスライドインサート金型36とキャビティ金型34の両側に設けてもよいが、煩雑になるためいずれか一方に設ける方が好ましく、上述のようにスライドインサート金型36への製作の困難さからキャビティ金型34側に設ける方がより好ましい。
As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated in detail, referring an accompanying drawing based on embodiment, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment and modification, Furthermore, it does not deviate from the scope of the present invention. Other variations or modifications are possible.
In the above embodiment, the cavity mold 34, and in the modification shown in FIG. 12, the slide insert mold 36 is provided with the gas introduction part. For example, as in Patent Document 4, the core mold is provided with the sliding surface. In the case of a mold, a gas introduction part may be provided in the core mold to control the timing of gas introduction. Moreover, it is applicable to the metal mold | die provided with the sliding surface in a separate metal mold | die like patent document 1, respectively. In the embodiments described so far, the gas introduction part is provided in each mold, but a plurality of molds may be provided.
Even if comprised in this way, the effect similar to the said embodiment can be acquired, and also the improvement in a design layout can be aimed at.
Further, in the above embodiment, the sliding member 44 is slid by the coil spring 45 at the time of holding pressure, and holding pressure at the time of compression molding is performed. Instead of the coil spring 45, an elastic member such as rubber, an air spring, or a pneumatic cylinder is used. Other sliding means such as a mechanism such as a hydraulic cylinder and a motor can be used.
The sliding member 44 may be provided on both sides of the slide insert mold 36 and the cavity mold 34. However, it is preferable to provide the slide member 44 on either one of the slide insert mold 36 and the cavity mold 34, as described above. It is more preferable to provide it on the cavity mold 34 side because of the difficulty in manufacturing.
