Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a transfer plate 13 that is rotationally driven is rotatably supported on the upper base 12. As shown in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1, four transfer plates 13 are arranged at intervals of 90 degrees in a plan view, and one transfer plate 13 is stopped by the injection molding unit 100. As shown in FIG. 6, each of the four transfer plates 13 is provided with a lip type (not shown) supported by an attachment hole 15 formed in the lip plate 14 that is opened and closed. Further, a hole 16 described later is formed in the transfer plate 13.

  The mold clamping operation in the injection molding unit 100 is performed by lowering the transfer plate 13 and the mold clamping machine 102, closing the injection core mold 113 into a lip mold, and further lowering the mold clamping machine 102, thereby injecting the injection core mold. The lip mold is pushed down by 113 and descends together with the transfer plate 13 and the lip plate 14, and the injection core mold 113 and the lip mold are clamped to the injection cavity mold 112. In addition, the transfer plate 13 in the present embodiment is provided with an elevating mechanism such as that disclosed in Patent Document 1, and can be driven up and down independently of the injection core.

  In order to carry mold parts into the injection molding unit 100, for example, an injection mold unit 110 shown in FIG. 4 is prepared. Here, the injection mold unit 110 is carried in a state in which the lip mold and the lip plate 14 supporting the lip mold are not attached to the transfer plate 13. The gap G between the injection cavity mold 112 and the injection core mold 113 at the time of mold clamping shown in FIG. 4 is originally set by the lip plate 14 and the lip mold. Since the lip plate 14 and the lip mold do not exist when the mold is carried in, the gap G is secured by using the dummy lip plate 114 shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the gap G is set by the dummy lip plate 114 and the two dummy lip molds 114A provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction, but the gap G can be set only by the dummy lip plate 114. good. By interposing the dummy lip plate 114, when the hot runner mold 111 is attached to the lower base 11, the injection core mold 113 can be set to the original clamping height from the lower base 11. Here, the mold parts above the dummy lip plate 114 are referred to as upper mold parts, and the lower mold parts are referred to as lower mold parts.

  The injection unit 110 is placed on the support member 510 set at the protruding position P1 shown in FIGS. By pushing the injection unit 110, the injection mold unit 110 is moved by rolling contact with the sphere 515 on the support member 510 and the sphere 30 on the lower base 11, and is positioned at a predetermined position by the positioning pin 109 shown in FIG. Is done. Then, the hot runner mold 111 of the injection mold unit 110 is fixed to the lower base 11 of the blow molding machine (see FIG. 4). Thereby, the hot runner mold 111 is fixed to the lower base 11, and the injection cavity mold 112 is previously fixed on the hot runner mold 111, so that the mounting of the mold parts to the lower base 11 is completed.

  Next, a step of fixing the injection core mold 113 to the injection core mold fixing portion 104 is performed. For this purpose, a mold disposed above the upper base 12 of the blow molding machine in a state before the lip plate 14 and the lip mold are attached to the upper base 12 of the blow molding machine or the transfer plate 13 supported by the transfer plate lifting mechanism. The fastening plate 102 is pulled down by the traction plate 103 and lowered. Since the lip plate 14 and the lip mold are not attached to the transfer plate 13, a hole 16 (see FIG. 6) through which the injection core mold 113 can pass is formed. Therefore, when the mold part is attached, the transfer plate 13 is lowered first, so that the injection core mold 113 is set at a mold clamping position above the transfer plate 13 through the hole 16 of the transfer plate 13. be able to.

  On the other hand, as described above, the injection core mold 113 of the injection mold unit 110 fixed to the lower base 11 is set at the mold clamping position by interposing the dummy lip plate 114. FIG. 5 illustrates a state in which the injection core mold 113 of the injection mold unit 110 is set to the mold clamping height. The injection core mold 113 can be fixed to the injection core mold fixing section 104 by lowering the injection core mold fixing section 104 to the mold clamping height position.

  Here, as an example of fixing the mold part to the fixing part, FIG. 7 shows an example of fixing the injection core mold 113 to the injection core mold fixing part 104. The injection core mold 113 that is a mold part is provided with two protrusions 113 that protrude in the width direction at the upper end facing the injection core mold fixing part 104 that is a fixing part. On the injection core mold fixing portion 104 side, a fixing fitting 105, for example, an L-shaped fitting 105 having a vertical portion 105A and a horizontal portion 105B is fixed by a bolt 106. The injection core mold fixing portion 104 can fix the mounting bracket 107 having a hole through which the bolt 106 is inserted with the bolt 108. The shape of the mounting bracket 107 may be provided integrally with the injection core mold fixing portion 104.

  The two protrusions 113B of the injection core mold 113 are arranged so that four (only two on one side are illustrated in the figure) horizontal portions 105B and 105B face each other in the L-shaped bracket. 105 and the mounting bracket 107 are clamped and fastened with bolts 106.

  As described above, when the injection core mold fixing portion 104 is lowered and set to the mold clamping position, the bolt 106 is loosened, the four L-shaped metal fittings 105 are rotated around the bolt 106, and the four horizontal portions 105B are removed. Set the orientation. Then, the injection core mold fixing portion 104 can be set at the mold clamping position without interfering with the two protrusions 113B of the injection core mold 113. Thereafter, the four L-shaped metal fittings 105 may be rotated around the bolt 106, and the bolt 106 may be tightened as shown in FIG. Thus, the replacement work of the mold parts is simplified.

  This L-shaped metal fitting 105 does not need to be removed every time a mold part is exchanged, and it is only necessary to loosen the bolt 106. Therefore, the L-shaped metal fitting 105 can be permanently installed in the injection core mold fixing portion 104, and there is no risk of parts being lost.

  It should be noted that fixing of mold parts using such L-shaped metal fittings can be used in addition to the injection core mold 113. For example, the present invention can be used for mounting various hot molds described later in addition to mounting the hot runner mold 111 to the lower base 11 and mounting the injection cavity mold 112 to the hot runner mold 111. Further, in order to make the mold attaching / detaching work with the L-shaped metal fitting 105 easier, the through hole of the bolt 106 may be formed in a long hole shape, and it may be horizontally movable after the bolt is loosened.

  After attaching the injection core mold 113 to the injection core mold fixing portion 104, the mold clamping machine 102 is raised, and the injection core mold fixing section 104 raises the injection core mold 113. Thereby, the injection core mold 113 can be separated from the injection mold unit 110. Finally, the dummy lip plate 114 is removed from the injection cavity mold 112. Thereby, the mounting of the mold parts in the injection molding unit 100 is completed. Note that the mold parts can be removed from the injection molding unit 100 in the state of the injection mold unit 110 shown in FIG. 4 by performing the above-described attachment steps in reverse order.

The angle of 810 and link 821 can be fixed. In the accommodation position P8, both the support member 810 and the link 821 are accommodated in parallel in either the vertical direction or the horizontal direction.

  The support member 810 can be configured by two rails 810A and 810B similar to the two rails 610A and 610B shown in FIG. The blow core mold 310 which is a mold part is formed with protrusions mounted on the rails 810A and 810B. By sliding the protrusions on the rails 810A and 810B, the blow core mold 310 can be carried below the blow core mold fixing portion 302 shown in FIG. The blow core mold 310 carried under the blow core mold fixing portion 302 is fixed by the same method as shown in FIG. That is, the protrusion 310B provided on the blow core mold 310 is clamped between the mounting bracket 303 and the fixing bracket 304, for example, the L-shaped bracket 304, and fastened by the bolt 305. However, it is necessary to remove the L-shaped metal fitting 304 located on the carry-in side of the blow core mold 310 in the blow core mold fixing portion 310 shown in FIG. This is because it interferes with the blow-core mold 310 that is carried in. The removal of the blow core mold 310 can be performed in the reverse order to the above-described attachment process. Note that the mounting bracket 303 may be integrally formed with the blow core mold fixing portion 302.

  The stretch rod fixing plate 320 can be mounted on the blow core mold 310 in a state where the stretch rod 320A is inserted into the vertical hole of the blow core mold 310, and can be simultaneously loaded by the second blow mold loading / unloading device 800.

Therefore, when the protrusion 14A of the lip plate 14 is placed on the rail 910 and the lip plate 14 is carried along the rail 910, the lip plate 14 can be slid into the second rail 13A. A lip plate fixing bracket 13C, for example, a positioning pin 13C, is inserted into the half slit 14B formed in the projection 14A of the lip plate 14 from above the transfer plate 13 through the hole 13D formed in the transfer plate 13, so that the lip The attachment of the plate 14 is completed. As seen in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-244103, conventionally, it is necessary to insert a positioning pin into the positioning hole of the neck type support plate (lip plate) from the lower side, and then to bolt the fall prevention member of the positioning pin to the rail. . For this reason, when the number of lip plates increases, the work time required to fix the lip plates tends to increase. In addition, although a fall prevention member is provided as a measure against falling out of the positioning pin, if the cycle speed (bottle production speed) increases, a load is applied to the positioning pin and the fall prevention member. There was still fear. With these phenomena, the neck type support plate (lip plate) is also displaced, leading to damage to the mold parts and machine parts during mold clamping. Unexpected damage or failure can also pose a danger to workers. In this embodiment, since the positioning pin 13C is inserted from above and supported on the rail 13A, the possibility of displacement and dropping is remarkably improved. Further, the time required for carrying in / out the lip plate 14 and maintenance is shortened, and the workability is remarkably improved.

  Instead of FIG. 17A, as shown in FIG. 17B, the lip plate 14 may be formed of a flat plate having no step in the thickness direction. In this case, both ends in the longitudinal direction of the lip plate 14 are mounted on the second rail 13A.

  Although the present embodiment has been described in detail as described above, those skilled in the art can easily understand that many modifications can be made without departing from the novel matters and effects of the present invention. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included in the scope of the present invention. For example, a term described at least once together with a different term having a broader meaning or the same meaning in the specification or the drawings can be replaced with the different term in any part of the specification or the drawings.
