[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various proposals have been made regarding a method and an apparatus for producing a hollow molded article having a plurality of layers made of a plurality of kinds of thermoplastic resins by blow molding or a hollow molded article obtained. The following are specific examples of the form of the formed multi-layer parison. That is, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-37,026, Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-53,175, etc., for example, as shown in FIG. 30, the cross-sectional shape is formed concentrically by resin species A and B, respectively. A shape having the resin layers 1 and 2, and the thickness ratio of each of the resin layers 1 and 2 is uniform over the entire length, that is, in the longitudinal direction (discharging direction during extrusion) and the circumferential direction. The multi-layer parison P is disclosed. By carrying out multi-layer blow molding using such a multi-layer parison P, it is possible to blow-mold gasoline tanks of automobiles, mayonnaise and ketchup containers to be consumed by ordinary households. It's actually done.

In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-138,227 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-113,908, a method called a multi-layered multi-layer blow method is used. As shown in FIG. As in the case of FIG. 30, the resin layers 1 and 2 are formed concentrically by the resin species A and C, respectively, and between these resin layers 1 and 2, another region is provided in a predetermined region in the parison longitudinal direction. A multi-layer parison P provided with a resin layer 3 of a resin type B is disclosed, and it is described that such a multi-layer parison P is blow-molded to mainly form an automobile gasoline tank.

Further, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-101,512 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-106,984 call a connection blow method, and as shown in FIG. Similar to the case, the resin layers 1 and 2 are formed concentrically by the resin species A and B, respectively, and the thickness ratio of these resin layers 1 and 2 changes along the parison longitudinal direction. A multi-layer parison P is disclosed, and it is described that such a multi-layer parison P is blow-molded to form intake system ducts mainly arranged in an engine room of an automobile. In FIG. 32, the thickness of the resin layer 1 is thicker than that of the resin layer 2 at the upper and lower ends of the parison, and the thickness of the resin layer 2 is thicker than that of the resin layer 1 at the central portion. Although an example of a thicker multilayer parison is shown, the pattern of the change in the thickness ratio of the resin layer is not limited to this, of course.

In addition, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-15373 discloses a blow molding method called an exchange blow method, and as in the case of FIG. 32, it is mainly installed in the engine room of an automobile. For example, as shown in FIG. 33, a multi-layer parison P formed by sequentially changing resin species A, resin species B, and resin species A from one end in the parison longitudinal direction is disclosed for the purpose of molding the intake ducts. Has been done. Furthermore, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-57,020 according to the invention of one of the inventors of the present invention,
The parison is vertically divided along the longitudinal direction at the center of its cross section to form a half-sided structure having a two-layer structure in which two kinds of resin are laminated, and the other half has a single-layer structure composed of one kind of resin. Discloses a multi-layer parison having the same layer structure over the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the parison, and states that it is convenient for forming a container for containing and carrying various articles.

[0006]

However, in a parison having such a layer structure, as will be described later, as soon as the parison exits from the die head, it shrinks to a single layer side and becomes wrinkled.
As shown in, it cannot be a very molding parison. In addition, this method is a very unique method of blow molding using a mold divided into seven parts, and the molded product also has a very special double-wall structure with deep drawing. However, there is a problem that it cannot be applied to blow molding of other shapes. Moreover, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-57,020,
Actually, no specific method or mechanism for forming such a multi-layer parison is shown.

By the way, the physical properties of the hollow molded article obtained by blow molding mainly depend on the properties of the thermoplastic resin used therein. Therefore, the molded product has different physical properties in each area of its part depending on the use and place of use of the molded product, and satisfying the physical properties required in each area is the quality of the molded product. Is extremely important for improving

For example, in the case of an automobile bumper, its fascia portion is required to be beautiful in appearance, and its beam portion is required to have a strength capable of withstanding an impact such as a collision. Also, in the case of a seat or backrest of a chair, the surface-side part is the part that is directly contacted by the person, so it is highly elastic and has a soft touch and is a non-slip material. Is required to be
Further, since the back side portion thereof is fixed to a skeleton such as a leg of a chair to support the weight of a seated person, it is essential to have excellent strength and rigidity.

Further, in the case of a door of a boiler room, its front side is exposed to the outside, so that it is required to have an excellent appearance, and its back side is filled with high-temperature steam or steam. Since it shields an atmosphere in which oil droplets are also floating, heat resistance, hot water resistance, oil resistance, etc. are required.Furthermore, the upper and lower end parts of them are attached to a sill or duck. Since it is opened and closed while being in contact with the rail, it is required to have excellent abrasion resistance and heat resistance. Therefore, in these molded products, a resin suitable for satisfying the role of each part and the physical properties required for the part is selected, and the whole is integrally molded. Is desirable.

In the case of producing such a molded product by blow molding, it is not possible to deal with the multilayer parison by simply making the multilayer in the thickness direction thereof. It is indispensable to form a plurality of partitioned regions having different thicknesses, and it is also necessary to form multiple layers in the thickness direction of the parison and to partition with different kinds of resin in the circumferential direction of the parison. However, in the conventional multi-layer blow molding method described above, even though it is possible to form multiple layers in the thickness direction of the parison, it is not possible to compartmentalize the different types of resin in the circumferential direction of the parison. It has not been possible to mold these molded products by using a plurality of resins having physical properties required according to the role of the resin.

Therefore, in the prior art, for example, in the case of an automobile bumper, there is no method other than separately manufacturing the fascia portion and the beam portion, and these are integrally manufactured as a single component. However, there is a problem that it is impossible to reduce the cost. Also,
Looking at the seat and backrest of the chair, there is no other choice than to separately mold the front side part and the back side part and then combine these parts, as it cannot be manufactured integrally in a single process. The cost is high and there is a problem in strength.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to have partition regions which are different from each other in at least one of the resin type, the number of layers and the layer thickness along the peripheral wall of the cross section of the molded product, and among the formed partition regions. The one having the minimum width is a partition region of different resin species having a width of ⅛ or more of the entire circumference of the peripheral wall of the molded product in any one resin layer and extending along the vertical cross-sectional wall of the molded product. It is an object of the invention to provide a method, an apparatus and a hollow molding product for producing a multi-layer blow-molded product in which each compartment region corresponds to a role of each of the regions that the hollow molding product should have.

Still another object of the present invention is, for example, in a hollow molded product such as a bumper for an automobile, a seat portion or a back portion of a chair, a door of a boiler room, etc., each of which has a plurality of partitioned regions different in resin type. However, it is to provide a multilayer blow-molded product in which each partitioned region corresponds to each role of each region that the hollow-molded product as a product should have.

[0014]

First, according to the present invention, a plurality of thermoplastic resins are extruded in a cylindrical shape from a die head to form a multilayer structure over the entire circumference thereof, and the entire thickness thereof is Form a multi-layer parison that is substantially uniform, and then guide this extruded multi-layer parison into multiple open molds that can be received by the parison and clamp the mold to blow mold it. When performing the above, regarding the above-mentioned multi-layer parison, different partition regions are formed along the circumferential direction of the parison with respect to any one or more of the resin type, the number of layers, and the layer thickness, and at the same time among the formed partition regions. One of the narrow resin layers is 45 in the parison circumferential direction.
It is a multi-layer blow molding method characterized in that it is a partitioned region of different resin species extending in the parison longitudinal direction having a partition width of an angle of 0 ° or more.

Further, in this method, the outermost layer of the multi-layer parison is a layer that primarily defines the partitioned regions of different resin species, and the mold corresponds to the partitioned regions of different resin species. And is divided into multiple mold components,
When performing blow molding by clamping these mold constituents, the boundary portions of the partitioned areas of different resin species are cut off by the abutting portions of these mold constituents, and the resin along the ridge line of the corner of the molded product is cut. By matching the boundaries of the partitioned regions of different types, it is possible to reliably prevent the boundaries of the partitioned regions of different resin types from deviating from the ridges of the corners of the molded product and impairing the appearance.

In the multilayer blow molding apparatus for carrying out the first method, a plurality of thermoplastic resins are extruded in a cylindrical shape from the die head to form a multi-layer over the entire circumference and the entire meat.

An octopus part that forms a flow path connecting between the multi-torus part and the lotus root part, and a nozzle part that is located below the lotus root part and discharges the multi-layer parison. The number of resin species to be formed is m (however, 8 ≧ m ≧ 2 is an integer), the number of layers of the extruded multilayer parison is n (however, n ≧ 2 is an integer), and When the number of partitioned regions formed along the parison circumferential direction with respect to any one or more of the resin type, the number of layers, and the layer thickness is p (provided that p ≧ 2 is an integer), the multi-torus portion is m. There is a flow path for expanding the molten resin flowing in from each of the inflow ports in an m-fold concentric annular shape, and the lotus root part distributes each molten resin in a preset pattern of m kinds of n layers p sections. Have and above the octopus part In order to have a flow path that guides the molten resin developed in the m-thick concentric annular flow path in the multi-torus part to the pattern flow path of m-type n-layer p-partitioned by the lotus root part according to the resin type Can be configured as a simple device.

In this multi-layer blow molding device, the multi-torus portion, the lotus root portion, the octopus portion and the nozzle portion which constitute the die head are each constituted by independent components, and these components can be easily disassembled and assembled, As a result, various shapes of the lotus root portion are selected, and the resin species of the molten resin to be supplied to the multi-torus portion and the number thereof are appropriately selected. By forming a multi-layer parison having various layer configurations for p, it is possible to appropriately meet the needs required for various hollow molded articles by using this.

In this multi-layer blow molding device,

By preparing a removable blind ring, the same multi-torus part, lotus root part,
A die head equipped with an octopus part and a nozzle part can be used to form a multilayer parison with a smaller number of layers,
A multi-layer blow molding device for multipurpose use can be constructed.

Therefore, according to the multi-layer blow molding apparatus thus constructed, a plurality of thermoplastic synthetic resins that are individually heated and melted are merged in the die head portion,
The number of resin species, the number of layers n, and the number of partitions in the parison circumferential direction p are varied through a slit having a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or a shape obtained by deforming a circle such as a combination of an arc and a straight line in the nozzle portion located at the tip of the die head Extruding a multi-layer parison having a pattern of, the hollow molded article has a plurality of partitioned areas of different resin types from the multi-layer parison, and the resin constituting each of these partitioned areas plays a role of each area in the hollow molded article. It is possible to produce various multilayer blow-molded articles that exhibit physical properties according to the above.

That is, the multilayer blow-molded article molded by the first method and apparatus as described above has a plurality of thermoplastic resins extruded in a cylindrical shape from the die head to form a multi-layer over the entire circumference thereof and the whole thereof. Is a hollow molded article formed by blow-molding a multilayer parison having a substantially uniform wall thickness, and this hollow molded article has a cross section along the peripheral wall of the molded article. The resin has a partition region different from each other in any one or more of the resin type, the number of layers, and the layer thickness, and the one having the smallest width among the formed partition regions is formed on the peripheral wall of the cross section of the molded product in any one resin layer. It is a partition region having a width of at least ⅛ or more of the entire circumference and extending along the wall of the vertical cross section of the molded product, and each of the partitioned regions has a role of each region that the hollow molded product should have. Corresponding structure Going on.

Therefore, the multilayer blow-molded article molded by this method and apparatus has, for example, a bumper for automobiles, and the fascia portion corresponding to the outer surface of the article has a physical appearance that the appearance is beautiful. For example, to select a resin such as ABS resin, and to impart a property that the beam portion corresponding to the inside has a strength capable of withstanding a shock such as a collision and is as inexpensive as possible, It is preferable to select a resin such as PP-GF resin. Further, as another example, for a door such as a boiler room, for example, a resin such as ABS resin having excellent appearance is selected on the front surface side, and the back surface side is heat resistant, oil resistant, PPS-GF with excellent hot water resistance
It is preferable to select a resin such as a resin and further to select a resin such as a POM resin having excellent abrasion resistance and heat resistance for the upper and lower end surfaces thereof.

Secondly, according to the present invention, m kinds (however, an integer of m ≧ 2) of thermoplastic resins are extruded into a cylindrical shape from a die head to form a multi-layer parison, and the extruded multi-layer parison is formed. Is divided into multiple parts and guided into an open mold that can receive the parison, and when this mold is clamped for blow molding, the parison has a section width of a specified angle in the circumferential direction and the parison length Direction, and the number of layers of each of these partition regions is n (provided that n is an integer of 1 or more. The number of layers in one or more partitioned areas is two or more)
And the number of layers in each partitioned region is n ₁ for the first partition, n _{2 for} the second partition, ..., N _{p for} the p partition, and the maximum number of layers in it. In the k-th partition n _k
When the number of layers (1 ≦ k ≦ p) is set, the flow paths of the molten resin corresponding to the maximum number of layers n _k are formed in the die head, and the partition regions other than the k-th partition have the partition regions. The maximum number of layers n _k by flowing any of the resins to be formed into a plurality of flow paths
Is characterized in that the molten resin is made to flow over the entire number of channels corresponding to the above, to form a multi-layer parison whose wall thickness is substantially uniform irrespective of the difference in the number of layers n in each partitioned region. It is a multilayer blow molding method.

In this multi-layer blow molding method, according to the experiments by the present inventors, for example, two compartments having a compartment width of 180 ° and being equal to each other as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-57,020. A multi-layered partition region having a region (number of partitions p = 2), one of the partitioned regions being a plurality of resin layers, and the other partitioned region being a single-layer partitioned region made of a single resin layer In the case of forming a certain multi-layer parison and performing multi-layer blow molding, generally, the resin flow rate of the molten resin flowing in the multi-layer division area side becomes larger than the resin flow rate of the molten resin flowing in the single-layer division area side. It is easy for the multilayer parison formed by shrinking to the side where the resin flow rate is small to become wrinkled and curved, making it impossible to mold, but in such a case, even in the single-layer partitioned region As many as The same molten resin is flowed through the passage so that it is apparently a single layer, but actually it is a multiple layer made of the same resin, and the overall thickness of the formed multilayer parison is made substantially uniform. The balance of the resin flow rate of the molten resin flowing between the partitioned area and the apparently single-layer partitioned area can be maintained, and thus the above situation can be prevented in advance.

According to the experiments conducted by the present inventors, the total flow rate of the molten resin flowing to the multi-layer compartment area side is apparently 0.7 to 1.3 times the flow rate of the molten resin flowing to the single-layer compartment area side. The range is preferably 0.8 to 1.2 times by weight, more preferably 0.9 to 1.1 times by weight. By adjusting the resin flow rate of the molten resin in this way, In the formed multi-layer parison, the entire wall thickness can be made substantially uniform irrespective of the difference in the number n of layers in each partitioned region.

In the multi-layer blow molding apparatus for carrying out the second method, a plurality of thermoplastic resins are extruded in a cylindrical shape from the die head, and the entire thickness of the multi-layer parison is substantially uniform. Is formed, and the extruded multi-layer parison is divided into a plurality of parts and guided into a parison-acceptable open mold, and the mold is clamped to perform blow molding. The number of resin species used at this time is m (however, 8 ≧ m ≧ 2 is an integer),
The number of layers of the extruded multi-layer parison is n (provided that n is an integer of 1 or more, and the number of layers of any one or more partition regions is 2 or more), and the resin for the multi-layer parison is For any one or more of the seed, the number of layers, and the layer thickness, the number of partitioned regions formed along the parison circumferential direction is p (however,
p ≧ 2), the die head is constructed by assembling cylindrical flow path forming cylinders of a number corresponding to the number of layers n into a multi-cylinder shape and incorporating them into the outer shell flow path forming cylinder. An outer wall surface of each of the flow path forming cylinders, and a multi-cylindrical flow path forming section and a nozzle section that is attached to the lower end of the multi-cylindrical flow path forming section and discharges a multi-layer parison. Corresponds to the number p of sections of each resin layer formed, and
Grooves forming a flow path for the molten resin are formed together with the inner wall surface of the flow path forming cylinder adjacent to the outside thereof, and at least the tips of the extruders corresponding to the number m of the resin species. It can be configured as a device in which the portion and the upper end of each flow path formed in the multiple cylindrical flow path forming part are connected by a resin distribution pipe.

In this multi-layer blow molding apparatus, the number of extruders is the same as the number m of resin species, and at least one branch passage and at least one joint passage are provided in the resin distribution pipe and A flow path switching valve may be provided in either or both of the branch path and the combined flow path. In this way, a branch passage and a joint passage are provided in the resin distribution pipe, and the molten resin supplied from the tip of the extrusion device to the multiple cylindrical flow passage forming portion is controlled by flowing through the resin distribution pipe from the passage switching valve. Thus, the number m of resin species, the number n of layers, and the number p of partitions of the multi-layer parison to be formed can be changed without changing the parts in the die head or the parts relating to the resin flow path, and various hollow molded products can be obtained. It is possible to prepare a multi-layer parison having various patterns required for.

Therefore, according to the second multi-layer blow molding method and apparatus thereof, as in the case of the first method and apparatus, a plurality of thermoplastic synthetic resins separately heated and melted are die heads. The multi-layer parison having various patterns of the resin species number m, the layer number n, and the parison circumferential direction partition number p is extruded through the slit of the nozzle located at the tip of the die head. A hollow molded product from a parison has a plurality of partitioned regions of different resin types, and various multilayer blows in which the resin forming each of these partitioned regions exhibits physical properties according to the role of each region in the hollow molded product. A molded product can be produced.

Particularly preferable items which can be blow-molded by the second method and apparatus are chairs and various tables in which a seat portion and / or a back portion is made of a hollow molded article made of a thermoplastic resin. Specifically, when the number of resin layers forming the front surface side is n _f and the number of resin layers forming the back surface side is n _b , n _f ≠ n _b and the outermost exposed The resin layer is divided into two regions forming a front surface side and a back surface side, and each of these divided regions is formed of a plurality of different resins, and preferably a resin layer forming the front surface side. A chair or table made of a thermoplastic resin in which the number n _f is 3 and the number n _{b of} resin layers constituting the back surface side is apparently 1.

Regarding the chair, in the seat portion and / or the backrest portion, the outermost resin layer exposed on the outer surface of the three resin layers on the surface side and directly in contact with the human body has a bending elastic modulus of 5, 5. Made of a soft resin having a hardness of 000 kgf / cm ² or less and a Shore A hardness of 80 or less, the intermediate resin layer is made of an adhesive resin, and the inner resin layer has a bending elastic modulus of 1
50,000 kgf / cm ² or more and Rockwell hardness 6
It is preferable that the resin layer is formed of 0 or more hard resin, and that the resin layer forming the back surface side is formed of the same hard resin as the resin forming the inner resin layer on the front surface side. In addition, regarding the table, the outermost resin layer exposed on the outer surface of the three resin layers on the front surface side is formed of an ABS resin, the intermediate resin layer is formed of an adhesive resin, and the inner resin layer is formed. It is preferable that the resin layer is formed of an olefin elastomer resin, and the resin layer forming the back surface side is formed of a resin of the same system as the resin forming the inner layer on the front surface side. A particularly preferable example of the thermoplastic resin chair or table molded in this manner is a chair provided in a train, an airplane, a theater or the like having an openable and retractable simple table stored on the back of the backrest. It is illustrated.

As the resin E located between the two kinds of resins, an adhesive resin capable of adhering the hard-to-adhere resins to each other is used, and the multi-layer parison P ₁ via the die head H shown in FIG. Extruded. This extruded multi-layer parison P ₁ has 5 sections (resins A, B, C, D and E) 3 layers (inner layer, intermediate layer and outer layer) 4 sections (see FIG. 7). In the outer layer, there are two partitioned regions of the resin D having a partition width of 45 °, a partitioned region of the resin B having a partition width of 135 °, and a partitioned region of the resin C having a partition width of 135 °).

Next, a multi-layer blow molded article G ₁ (boiler chamber door) was blow-molded for this multi-layer parison P ₁ by using a mold disposed directly below the die head H according to a conventional method. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the mold 6 used at this time is divided into four mold constituents 6a, 6b, 6c corresponding to the four partitioned regions of different resin types, When performing mold molding by clamping these mold structures 6a, 6b, 6c, the mold structures 6a, 6b
The abutting portions 7 of b and 6c cut off the boundary portions 8 of the partitioned areas of different resin species, thereby matching the boundary lines of the partitioned areas of different resin species along the ridge lines of the corners of the molded product. There is.

In the multi-layer blow-molded product G ₁ molded in this manner, the two partitioned regions of the resin D constituting the upper and lower end surfaces of the multi-layer blow-molded product G ₁ are at least ⅛ or more of the entire circumference of the peripheral wall of the molded product. have. In the case of a mold that is divided into only two right and left components such as a normal blow molding mold, the concave portion on the upper end surface side of the peripheral wall of the cross section of the molded product has a mold opening between the left and right mold components. In the case of the die 6 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the undercut which hinders the operation is made, but by clamping the die 6 divided into four components as described above, The occurrence of undercut in the opening / closing direction can be eliminated.

Further, FIG. 10 shows that in the multilayer blow molding device shown in FIG.
M'type n'layer p'section (where m ', n'and p'are all 2 or more) by using the die head H for discharging the multi-layer parison P ₁ of p section And m ≧
m ′, n> n ′, and integers satisfying the conditions of p ≧ p ′), the lotus root portion 2 used when forming the multi-layer parison P ₁ has n layers from the outside of the pattern flow passage 2a. This shows an example in which a removable blind ring 9 for closing the lower end opening of the flow path for the n'layer is prepared, and this blind ring 9 has a shape as shown in FIG. Of course, the shape of the blind ring 9 is not particularly limited to that shown in FIG. 11 and may be any shape as long as it can close the flow path lower end opening for the nn ′ layer from the outside of the pattern flow path 2a. The shape may be circular or arc-shaped. By using the blind ring 9 as described above, the multi-torus part 1, the lotus root part 2 and the octopus part 3 of the die head H are prepared so that the multi-layer parison P ₁ having a large number of layers n can be extruded in advance. In this case, the multi-layer parison P ₁ having a smaller number of layers n can be easily formed, and the multi-layer blow molding device can be configured for multiple purposes.

Further, FIG. 12 shows a modified example of the lotus root portion 2. In this lotus root portion 2, semicircular arc-shaped flow passages are concentrically formed on the left and right sides of the centerline O in a triplet. As a result, the pattern flow path 2a is formed. By replacing the lotus root portion of FIG. 2 with 5 kinds of molten resin to flow, as shown in FIG. Multi-layer parison P with an equal section width of 180 °)
You can extrude _one . In addition, using this lotus root part 2, three resin layers are formed in one of the divided areas,
Further, an apparently single resin layer made of any one of these three kinds of resin is formed in the other partitioned area, so-called half on one side is a multi-layer and the other half is an apparently single layer. Such a multi-layer parison can be easily formed, and at this time, the same resin is flowed through all of the three flow paths 2a that apparently form the partition region on the single-layer side to reduce the thickness of the entire multi-layer parison. It can also be uniform.

In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the arrangement of the concentric annular flow passages 1a in the multi-torus portion 1 is arranged from the inside to the outside so that the arrangement of the octopus root portions 2 coincides with that of the rotus root portion 2. Although the flow path 3a of the portion 3 is formed, the flow path 3a is not particularly limited thereto. For example, the molten resin C flowing through the outermost flow path 1a in the multi-torus portion 1 is the innermost flow path of the lotus root portion 2. You may connect through the octopus part 3 so that it may be guided to 3a. Further, regarding the octopus portion 3 as well, in FIG. 3, all of the five types of resins introduced into the multi-torus portion 1 are connected to the pattern flow path 2a of the lotus root portion 2, but the invention is not limited to this. The octopus portion 3 is of another type, for example, some of the flow passages 1a of the multi-torus portion 1 are closed, and only the remaining flow passages 1a are connected to the pattern flow passages 2a of the lotus root portion 2. It is also possible to prepare one having the flow path 3a and distribute the molten resin of a small amount of the resin species m into several partitioned areas S ₁ , S ₂ , ..., S _p .

Here, according to the experiments by the present inventors, FIG.
In the multi-layer parison P ₂ as shown in FIG. 5, the total flow rate of the molten resin flowing to the multi-layer partition area S ₂ side is apparently 0.7 to 1.3 of the flow rate of the molten resin flowing to the single-layer partition area S ₁ side.
The weight may be adjusted to a range of times, preferably 0.8 to 1.2 times by weight, more preferably 0.9 to 1.1 times by weight. For example, as shown in FIG. 26, if the resin A on the single-layer divided region S ₁ side is allowed to flow through only one channel to form a literal (true) single layer, the flow rate of the molten resin is balanced as described above. When out of the range, the multi-layer parison P ₂ extruded from the nozzle portion 21 of the die head H shrinks and wrinkles in the direction in which the resin flow rate is smaller (in this case, the single-layer partitioned region S ₁ side), as shown in FIG. This may cause wrinkles and curl, which makes molding impossible. Then, in this way, by controlling the total flow rate of the molten resin flowing to the multi-layer partitioned area S ₂ side and the apparent flow rate of the molten resin flowing to the single-layer partitioned area S ₁ side, in the multi-layer parison formed, It is possible to make the entire thickness substantially uniform regardless of the difference in the number of layers n in each divided region.
