ブローノズル4はシール部材7bにより密に連結される嵌入筒片5と導入筒部6から構成されている。
嵌入筒片5は全体として筒状で、内部に円柱状の中空部を有し、外周壁には先端に向かって縮径する周段部5aが周設されており、円筒状の先端部がプリフォーム31の口筒部32に嵌入し、周段部5aと口筒部32の上端面のシール部材(Oリング)7aを介した当接により、ブローノズル4と口筒部32が密に連通状に連結するようにしている。
The blow nozzle 4 includes an insertion cylinder piece 5 and an introduction cylinder portion 6 that are closely connected by a seal member 7b.
The fitting cylinder piece 5 is generally cylindrical, has a cylindrical hollow portion inside, and is provided with a circumferential step portion 5a whose diameter decreases toward the tip on the outer peripheral wall. The blow nozzle 4 and the mouth tube portion 32 are tightly fitted by fitting into the mouth tube portion 32 of the preform 31 and abutting the peripheral step portion 5a and the upper end surface of the mouth tube portion 32 via the seal member (O-ring) 7a. They are connected in a continuous manner.

導入筒部6は、所定の高さ位置に周壁を貫通状に横断するように、加圧液体Lの供給路となる貫通流路6aが形成、配設されており、電磁バルブVaにより加圧液体Lの供給と停止ができるようにしている。
また、この貫通流路6aの反対位置に導入筒部6の外部と内部を連通するための貫通流路6bが形成、配設されており電磁バルブVbによりこの連通状態の開閉ができるようにしている。なお、貫通流路6bの嵌入筒片5の近傍には逆止弁(図示省略)が設けられ、加圧液体Lが貫通6b内に流入しないようにしている。
また、本実施例では貫通流路6aに電磁バルブVaを、また通気孔6bに電磁バルブVbを配設する構成としているが、勿論、他のタイプのバルブを配設することもできる。

In the present embodiment, the electromagnetic valve Va is disposed in the through passage 6a, and the electromagnetic valve Vb is disposed in the vent hole 6b. However, other types of valves may be disposed as a matter of course.

次に、付属設備についてみると、
加圧装置21は、従来からブロー成形では必須の設備であり、加圧ポンプやコンプレッサー等の大型の設備である。
この加圧装置21から配管P1を介して、ブロー成形に使用する加圧液体Lを供給する加圧液体供給部22に、または配管P3を介して加圧気体Aを供給する加圧気体供給部23に加圧流体(駆動流体)がそれぞれ供給される。加圧液体供給部22、加圧気体供給部23はプランジャーポンプタイプであるが、その動力源は上記した加圧装置21からの加圧流体を利用するものである。勿論、装置の全体的なレイアウト、制御のし易さ等を考慮して、例えば加圧気体供給部23のための加圧装置を別途配設することも可能である。また、加圧液体供給部22、加圧気体供給部23には、図示したプランジャー等ポンプタイプの他にも2部屋を有するピストン内蔵のシリンダータイプ等を使用することが可能である。
Next, looking at the attached equipment,
The pressurizing device 21 is conventionally an essential facility in blow molding, and is a large facility such as a pressurizing pump or a compressor.
The pressurized gas supply unit 22 for supplying the pressurized gas A from the pressurizing device 21 to the pressurized liquid supply unit 22 for supplying the pressurized liquid L used for blow molding through the piping P1 or the piping P3. The pressurized fluid (driving fluid) is supplied to 23. The pressurized liquid supply unit 22 and the pressurized gas supply unit 23 are plunger pump types, and the power source uses the pressurized fluid from the above-described pressurizing device 21. Of course, in consideration of the overall layout of the device, ease of control, etc., for example, a pressurizing device for the pressurized gas supply unit 23 can be separately provided. The pressurized liquid supply unit 22 and the pressurized gas supply unit 23 may be a cylinder type with a built-in piston having two chambers in addition to the pump type such as the illustrated plunger.

そして、加圧液体供給部22から供給される加圧液体Lは、配管P2、電磁バルブVaを介して導入筒部6の貫通流路6aを経てプリフォーム31の内部に供給される。   And the pressurized liquid L supplied from the pressurized liquid supply part 22 is supplied to the inside of the preform 31 through the piping P2 and the electromagnetic valve Va through the through flow path 6a of the introduction cylinder part 6.

また、図1に示す装置では加圧気体Aを供給する加圧気体供給部23を配設しているが、加圧液体Lをプリフォーム31に供給した際に、その圧力により口筒部32が拡径変形するような場合には、この加圧気体Aを、配管P4を介して隔壁部材11内に導入し、プリフォーム31の口筒部32の外周面を囲繞する空間Sを加圧することにより、このような拡径変形を効果的に抑制することができる。   In the apparatus shown in FIG. 1, the pressurized gas supply unit 23 for supplying the pressurized gas A is disposed. When the pressurized liquid L is supplied to the preform 31, the pressure tube L 32 is caused by the pressure. When the gas diameter is deformed, the pressurized gas A is introduced into the partition wall member 11 via the pipe P4, and the space S surrounding the outer peripheral surface of the mouth tube portion 32 of the preform 31 is pressurized. As a result, such a diameter expansion deformation can be effectively suppressed.

次に、図2〜5は図1に示す装置を使用した本発明の合成樹脂製容器の製造方法の一例についてその成形工程を順次示すものであり、これら図2〜5を参照しながら本発明の合成樹脂製容器の製造方法、すなわちブロー成形方法について説明する。
ブロー成形は次の(1)〜(5)に記載した工程を順次、実施する。

(4)上記のように容器41が賦形され後に、電磁バルブVaを閉状態にして加圧液体Lの供給を停止する。
(5)図5に示すように、胴部金型1SL,1SRを閉じた状態で、底部金型1Bを引き抜く方向に稼働させるのと同時に電磁バルブVbを開状態にして外部から気体を容器41の内部に導入しながら、テーパ面1B_1を成す先太の凸状部位を容器底部から完全に引き抜く。この時、容器底部41Bの膨らみ方向が容器内側から容器外側に反転しているのが見てとれる。底部金型1Bを引き抜く前の底部形状41Bと、引き抜き後の底部形状41B’とに囲まれた容積変化分が、ヘッドスペースHSとして容器口部内に形成されることになる。
(6)そして、組付け固定した隔壁部材11とブローノズル4を図2に示される位置まで、口筒部32の上方に上昇させ、さらに胴部金型1SL,1SRを型開きして液体Lが充填され且つヘッドスペースHSが形成された容器41を取り出し、口筒部32をキャップ(図示省略)でシールし製品とする。
Next, (3) as shown in FIG. 4, the pressurized liquid L is supplied into the preform 31 from the pressurized liquid supply part 22 of FIG. The reform 31 is stretched and the container 41 is shaped along the cavity 2 of the mold 1.
(4) After the container 41 is shaped as described above, the supply of the pressurized liquid L is stopped by closing the electromagnetic valve Va.
(5) As shown in FIG. 5, with the body molds 1SL and 1SR closed, the bottom mold 1B is operated in the direction of pulling out, and at the same time, the electromagnetic valve Vb is opened and gas is supplied from the outside to the container 41.

At this time, it can be seen that the swelling direction of the container bottom 41B is reversed from the inside of the container to the outside of the container. A change in volume surrounded by the bottom shape 41B before the bottom mold 1B is pulled out and the bottom shape 41B ′ after the pull-out is formed in the container mouth as the head space HS.
(6) Then, the assembled and fixed partition member 11 and the blow nozzle 4 are raised to the position shown in FIG. 2 above the mouth tube part 32, and the body molds 1SL and 1SR are further opened to open the liquid L Is taken out and the head space HS is formed, and the mouth tube part 32 is sealed with a cap (not shown) to obtain a product.

図6は、本発明の変形例1に係る底部金型1B’を使用したブロー成形方法を示す説明図である。
図6(a)に示すように、この底部金型1B’は、中央部に、側面が先太のテーパ面1B_1を成す先太の凸状部位が形成された棒状の金型1BCと、それを取り囲むリング状の金型1BRとから構成される。この底部金型1B’の引き抜きは、上記底部金型1Bと異なり、2段階で成される。
すなわち、先ず、図6(b)に示すように、側面の金型1SL,1SRが閉じた状態で、底部金型全体1BC,1BRを引き抜く方向に稼働させて、底部形状41Bを底部形状41B’に反転させる。
FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing a blow molding method using the bottom mold 1B ′ according to the first modification of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 6 (a), the bottom mold 1B ′ includes a rod-shaped mold 1BC in which a thick convex portion having a tapered surface 1B_1 having a thick side surface is formed at the center, and It is comprised from the ring-shaped metal mold | die 1BR which surrounds. The bottom mold 1B ′ is pulled out in two stages, unlike the bottom mold 1B.
That is, first, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), with the side molds 1SL, 1SR closed, the bottom molds 1BC, 1BR are operated in the direction of pulling out, so that the bottom shape 41B becomes the bottom shape 41B ′. Invert.

次に、図6(c)に示すように、中央の金型1BCを更に下げて、引っ掛かり部位(側面が先太のテーパ面1B_1を成す先太の凸状部位)を引き抜く。
そして、上記(6)と同様に、組付け固定した隔壁部材11とブローノズル4を図2に示される位置まで、口筒部32の上方に上昇させ、さらに胴部金型1SL,1SRを型開きして液体Lが充填され且つヘッドスペースHSが形成された容器41を取り出し、口筒部32をキャップ(図示省略)でシールし製品とする。
Next, as shown in FIG.6 (c), the center metal mold | die 1BC is further lowered | hung and the catching part (The thick convex part which the side surface forms the taper surface 1B_1 with a thick side) is extracted.
Then, as in the above (6), the assembled and fixed partition wall member 11 and the blow nozzle 4 are raised to the position shown in FIG. 2 above the mouth tube part 32, and the body molds 1SL and 1SR are further molded. The container 41 opened and filled with the liquid L and having the head space HS is taken out, and the mouth tube portion 32 is sealed with a cap (not shown) to obtain a product.

変形例2Modification 2

図7は、本発明の変形例2に係る底部金型1B''を使用したブロー成形方法を示す説明図である。
図7(a)に示すように、この底部金型1B''は、中央部に、棒状の金型1BC’と、それを取り囲むリング状の金型1BR’とから構成される。
FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing a blow molding method using the bottom mold 1B ″ according to the second modification of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 7 (a), this bottom mold 1B '' is composed of a rod-shaped mold 1BC 'and a ring-shaped mold 1BR' surrounding it at the center.

上述した底部金型1B,1B’を使用したブロー成形方法は、底部金型1B,1B’を引き抜く方向に稼働させて、容器底部と底部金型1B,1B’との引っ掛かりによって、容器底部の膨らみ形状を容器外側に反転(41B→41B’)させるのと同時に容器内部に気体を導入することにより、底部金型を引き抜く前の底部形状41Bと、引き抜き後の底部形状41B’とに囲まれた容積変化分を、ヘッドスペースHSとして容器口部内に形成させる方法であった。それに対し、この底部金型1B''を使用したブロー成形方法は、図7(b)に示すように、中央の棒状の金型1BC’を押し上げることにより、容器底部の形状を容器内側に反転させ、続いて、図7(c)に示すように、金型1BC’を引き抜く方向に稼働させるのと同時に、容器内部に気体を導入することにより、金型1BC’を押し上げる前の底部形状41Bと、金型1BC’を押し上げた後の底部形状41B’とに囲まれた容積変化分を、ヘッドスペースHSとして容器口部内に形成させる方法である。   In the blow molding method using the bottom molds 1B and 1B ′ described above, the bottom molds 1B and 1B ′ are operated in the direction of pulling out, and the container bottom and the bottom molds 1B and 1B ′ are caught. By inverting the bulging shape to the outside of the container (41B → 41B ′) and simultaneously introducing gas into the container, it is surrounded by the bottom shape 41B before pulling out the bottom mold and the bottom shape 41B ′ after pulling out. In other words, the volume change was formed as a head space HS in the container mouth. On the other hand, in the blow molding method using the bottom mold 1B ″, as shown in FIG. 7B, the shape of the bottom of the container is reversed to the inside of the container by pushing up the central bar-shaped mold 1BC ′. Then, as shown in FIG. 7C, the bottom shape 41B before the mold 1BC ′ is pushed up by operating the mold 1BC ′ in the direction of pulling out and introducing gas into the container. And a change in volume surrounded by the bottom shape 41B ′ after the mold 1BC ′ is pushed up is formed as a head space HS in the container mouth.

その後、組付け固定した隔壁部材11とブローノズル4を図2に示される位置まで、口筒部32の上方に上昇させ、さらに胴部金型1SL,1SRを型開きして液体Lが充填され且つヘッドスペースHSが形成された容器41を取り出し、口筒部32をキャップ(図示省略)でシールし製品とする。   Thereafter, the assembled partition member 11 and the blow nozzle 4 are raised to the position shown in FIG. 2 above the mouth tube portion 32, and the body molds 1SL and 1SR are opened to be filled with the liquid L. The container 41 in which the head space HS is formed is taken out, and the mouth tube portion 32 is sealed with a cap (not shown) to obtain a product.

図8は、本発明のブロー成形装置の全体的な構成の他の例を示す概略説明図である。
図1のブロー成形装置との構成上の違いは、導入筒部6の内部には円柱状の中空部が形成され、嵌入筒片5と導入筒部6から構成されるブローノズル4中には、ヘッドスペースHSを形成する機能を発揮するための円柱状のロッド8が同軸心状に挿通、配設され、ブローノズル4とロッド8によりブローノズル4内に円筒状の導入路Fiが形成されている。それに加えて、ロッド8を駆動するためのサーボ機構(図示省略)が配設されていることであり、その他の構成については、図1のブロー成形装置とほとんど同じである。従って、以降では、上記違いに特化して、底部金型1Bとロッド8を併用したブロー成形方法について説明する。
FIG. 8 is a schematic explanatory view showing another example of the overall configuration of the blow molding apparatus of the present invention.
A difference in configuration from the blow molding apparatus of FIG. 1 is that a cylindrical hollow portion is formed inside the introduction cylinder portion 6, and the blow nozzle 4 composed of the insertion cylinder piece 5 and the introduction cylinder portion 6 is included in the blow nozzle 4. A cylindrical rod 8 for demonstrating the function of forming the head space HS is inserted and arranged coaxially, and a cylindrical introduction passage Fi is formed in the blow nozzle 4 by the blow nozzle 4 and the rod 8. ing. In addition, a servo mechanism (not shown) for driving the rod 8 is disposed, and other configurations are almost the same as those of the blow molding apparatus of FIG. Therefore, hereinafter, a blow molding method using the bottom mold 1B and the rod 8 in combination will be described, focusing on the above differences.

上記[0039]に記す工程(2)の後に、
(2’)ロッド8の先端部を所定の長さD(プリフォーム31の口筒部32の先端から長さD)、プリフォーム31内に挿入する。
(3’)導入筒部6の貫通流路6aを介して、導入路Fiを経てプリフォーム31内に加圧液体Lを供給し、プリフォーム31を膨張状に延伸し、金型1のキャビティ2に沿って容器41を賦形する。
(4’)容器41が賦形された後に、加圧液体Lの供給を、電磁バルブVaを閉状態にし、図9に示すように、胴部金型1SL,1SRを閉じた状態で、底部金型1Bを引き抜くのと共に、ロッド8の先端部を容器41内から脱挿入して、口筒部32の先端まで引き上げる。底部金型1Bを引き抜く方向に稼働させるのと同時に電磁バルブVbを開状態にして外部から気体を容器41の内部に導入しながら、テーパ面1B_1を成す先太の凸状部位を容器底部から完全に引き抜く。この時、底部金型1Bを引き抜くことにより生じる容器底部の容積変化分(底部形状41Bと底部形状41B’に囲まれた部分)と、ロッド8を引き上げることにより生じる内容積変化部(ロッド8の長さDに相当する部分)が、ヘッドスペースHSとして容器口部内に形成されることになる。
After the step (2) described in [0039] above,
(2 ′) The tip of the rod 8 is inserted into the preform 31 with a predetermined length D (length D from the tip of the mouth tube portion 32 of the preform 31).
(3 ′) The pressurized liquid L is supplied into the preform 31 through the through channel 6 a of the introducing cylinder portion 6 through the introducing channel Fi, the preform 31 is expanded in an expanded state, and the cavity of the mold 1 is expanded. The container 41 is shaped along 2.
(4 ′) After the container 41 is shaped, the pressurized liquid L is supplied to the bottom with the electromagnetic valve Va closed and the body molds 1SL and 1SR closed as shown in FIG. While pulling out the mold 1B, the tip of the rod 8 is removed from the container 41 and pulled up to the tip of the mouth tube part 32. At the same time that the bottom mold 1B is pulled out, the electromagnetic valve Vb is opened and gas is introduced from the outside into the container 41, and the thick convex portion forming the tapered surface 1B_1 is completely removed from the container bottom. Pull out. At this time, the volume change at the bottom of the container caused by pulling out the bottom mold 1B (the portion surrounded by the bottom shape 41B and the bottom shape 41B ′) and the internal volume change portion (the rod 8 of the rod 8) generated by pulling up the rod 8 A portion corresponding to the length D) is formed in the container mouth as the head space HS.

以上の通り、底部金型1Bとロッド8を併用したブロー成形方法では、底部金型1Bを引き抜くことにより生じる容器底部の上記容積変化分と、ロッド8を引き上げることにより生じる上記内容積変化部をヘッドスペースHSとして利用することが出来るようになる。また、プリフォーム31内への挿入長さDを調整することにより、ヘッドスペースHSを所望の量に制御することが出来るようになる。なお、底部金型1Bに代えて、上記底部金型1B’,1B''を使用することも可能である。   As described above, in the blow molding method using the bottom mold 1B and the rod 8 in combination, the volume change at the bottom of the container caused by pulling out the bottom mold 1B and the internal volume change produced by pulling up the rod 8 are included. It can be used as the head space HS. In addition, the head space HS can be controlled to a desired amount by adjusting the insertion length D into the preform 31. The bottom molds 1B 'and 1B' 'can be used in place of the bottom mold 1B.

以上の通り、本発明のブロー成形装置及びそれを使用したブロー成形方法によれば、プリフォームを金型内で内容液によってブローすることにより得られる容器に対し、所望の量のヘッドスペースHSを形成することが出来るようになる。これにより、ブロー成形から容器口部をキャッピングするまでの工程において、内容液のこぼれを好適に防止することが出来るようになる。また、容器は底部形状が容器外側に膨らんだ形状であるため、キャッピング後、容器内部が減圧した場合、底部形状が復元し、減圧による不正変形を好適に防ぐようになる。   As described above, according to the blow molding apparatus of the present invention and the blow molding method using the same, a desired amount of head space HS is provided to the container obtained by blowing the preform with the content liquid in the mold. It becomes possible to form. As a result, in the process from blow molding to capping the container mouth, it is possible to suitably prevent spillage of the content liquid. In addition, since the bottom shape of the container swells to the outside of the container, when the inside of the container is decompressed after capping, the bottom shape is restored, and unauthorized deformation due to decompression is suitably prevented.

本発明の、加圧液体を使用するブロー成形装置は、容器の賦形と同時に飲料、化粧品、薬品等の最終的に製品に充填される液体のヘッドスペースを所定の量に容易に、再現良く、また確実に調整することができるものであり、ブロー成形の分野での幅広い利用展開が期待される。   The blow molding apparatus using a pressurized liquid according to the present invention easily reproduces the headspace of liquid finally filled in a product such as beverages, cosmetics, and medicines at the same time as shaping of the container with a predetermined amount. In addition, it can be adjusted reliably and is expected to be widely used in the field of blow molding.
