Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a biaxial stretch blow molding device and method for moving a draw rod and a blow core to perform mold clamping, and a moving member driving device used therefor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional biaxial stretch blow molding device,
The one disclosed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 53-22096 is known. First, the structure of this biaxial stretch blow molding apparatus will be described. A rotatable rotary disk, which is a transfer member, is attached to the upper base of the biaxial stretch blow molding apparatus. A lip type support plate is attached to each of the four regions of the turntable that are divided for every 90 degrees of rotation, and a plurality of lip types are arranged on the lip type support plate. This lip type holds the lip part of the preform,
It is in a state of being supported by the lip type support plate. The turntable is driven by intermittent rotation every 90 degrees.
An injection molding station, a temperature control station, a blow molding station, and an eject station are provided at positions opposed to the divided areas, and the lip type support plate is transferred to each station by the rotation of the rotary disk. Specifically, in FIG. 13, the injection molding station is shown on the right side, and the blow molding station is shown on the left side.

In the injection molding station, the injection cavity 2, the injection core 4, and the lip mold 12 are clamped to injection mold the preform 10, and the lip portion of the preform 10 is held by the lip form 12. , A turntable 1 as a transfer member rotatably attached to the upper base 28
4 is rotated so that the preform 10 is transferred to the next station.

At the blow molding station, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a turntable 14 to which a lip die 12 for holding a lip portion of a preform is attached is rotated,
The preform is conveyed to the blow molding position, and the lip mold 12 and the blow core 18 are placed in the blow cavity 16 while the preform is placed inside. Further, the blow core 18 is penetrated to extend into the preform. The rod 20 is inserted.

Then, the preform is longitudinally stretched by the stretching rod 20, and blow air is introduced into the preform through the blow core 18 to laterally stretch the preform. The hollow body 17 is formed.

When the blow core 18 is arranged in the blow cavity 16, the blow core fixing plate 22 to which the blow core 18 is attached is fixed to the blow core fixing plate 22.
A lifting block 24 integrated with
By lowering the hydraulic cylinder 26, the blow core fixing plate 22 is brought into contact with the upper base 28, and the blow core 18 and the blow cavity 16 are arranged. In this case, the stretching rod fixing plate 30 to which the stretching rod 20 is attached also descends together with the blow core fixing plate 22 by the lowering of the elevating block 24, and the tip of the stretching rod 20 is stopped at the initial stretching position near the inner surface of the bottom of the preform. As the initial position for stretching, a position near the inner surface of the bottom of the preform is usually used, but in addition to this, the tip of the stretching rod may be stopped at a position where the inner surface of the bottom of the preform comes into contact with or presses to extend a little.

Thereafter, the second hydraulic cylinder 32 as a lifting drive means lowers the stretch rod fixing plate 30 so that the stretch rod 20 presses the inner surface of the bottom portion of the preform. Blow air is introduced into the preform from the blow core 18 simultaneously with the vertical axis stretching.

Recently, an air cylinder has been used as the lifting drive means instead of the hydraulic cylinder because maintenance is easy.

[0009]

Generally, in the biaxial stretch blow molding apparatus, the tip of the stretch rod 20 is positioned at the initial stretch position of the preform 10 when the blow core 18 is arranged in the blow cavity 16. After that, it is necessary to extend to the bottom of the blow cavity 16 in accordance with the stretch blow molding, and further to retreat to a position where the stretch rod 20 does not contact the turntable 14 after the blow molding is completed. Therefore, the elevating stroke of the stretching rod 20 needs to be much longer than the elevating stroke of the blow core 18,
It takes time to set the initial position of the stretching rod 20 and to retract the stretching rod 20, resulting in a cycle loss.

Therefore, in the above-mentioned conventional example, the stretching rod 20 is used.
In order to prevent the elevating and lowering driving means of the blower from increasing in length, the blow core 1
By extending the lifting stroke of No. 8, the stretching rod 20
I am trying to supplement the lifting stroke of.

However, in this case, since the lifting stroke of the blow core 18 becomes longer than necessary, there is a problem that a cycle loss occurs when the blow core 18 is lowered to a predetermined position prior to stretch blow molding.

Further, the blow core 18 and the stretch rod 2
Since a hydraulic pressure or an air cylinder is used as the lifting and lowering driving means of 0, it is difficult to control the speed and the position, particularly the speed and the position when the stretching rod 20 is lowered.

Further, since the elevating and lowering drive mechanisms of the blow core 18 and the stretching rod 20 are independent of each other, a plurality of guides are required for each of the elevating and lowering drive mechanisms, and the structure is complicated. It was

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to shorten the time for initial setting and retreat of the stretching rod, and to shorten the up-and-down stroke of the blow core to reduce the blow stroke. It is an object of the present invention to provide a biaxial stretch blow molding apparatus and method, and a moving member driving apparatus that can reduce cycle loss during molding, can easily control the speed and position of a blow core and a stretching rod, and have a simple structure.

The blow core fixing plate 54 fixedly supports the blow cores 60 at positions corresponding to the plurality of lip molds 46, and is movable forward and backward with respect to the rotary table 42.
The blow core 60 is inserted into the preform 48 installed in the blow cavity 52 and clamped in the blow cavity 52. Specifically, both ends of the blow core fixing plate 54 are slidably supported by a pair of guide rods 62 provided upright on the upper base 40, and are vertically slidable along the guide rods 62 in a horizontal state. At the same time, it can be moved back and forth by the drive device 58 to come into contact with the upper surface of the upper base 40.

The stretching rod fixing plate 56 fixedly supports the respective stretching rods 64 corresponding to the plurality of blow cores 60, and can be moved back and forth with respect to the turntable 42 so that the stretching rods 64 penetrate the blow core 60. The preform 48 is inserted into the preform 48. Specifically, the stretched rod fixing plate 56 is slidably supported at its both ends by a pair of guide rods 60 standing upright on the upper base 40, and can be slid horizontally above the blow core fixing plate 54. The drive device 58 allows it to move back and forth with respect to the rotary disc 42, and is superposed on the blow core fixing plate 54.

The drive device 58 drives the blow core fixing plate 54 and the stretching rod fixing plate 56 to move forward and backward with respect to the rotary table 42. The driving device 58 drives the blow core fixing plate 54 forward and backward, and the stretch rod fixing. Second drive means 68 for driving the plate 56 forward and backward is provided.

The first driving means 66 comprises a first servomotor 70 and a ball screw 72.

The ball screw 72 includes a screw shaft 76 and a ball-containing first nut 78 screwed to the screw shaft 76.
And a second nut 80.

The first servomotor 70 rotates the screw shaft 76, and is fixedly supported on a motor fixing plate 74 which is horizontally fixed to the upper ends of the pair of guide rods 62 standing on the upper base 40. It is supposed to be done.

A lower end and an upper end of the screw shaft 76 are rotatably supported by the upper base 40 and the motor fixing plate 74, and the upper end of the screw shaft 76 is connected to the output shaft of the first servomotor 70. Further, this screw shaft 76 is used for the blow core fixing plate 54.
Also, the stretching rod fixing plate 56 is attached in a penetrating state.

The first nut 78 is screwed onto the screw shaft 76 on the one hand and is fixed to the blow core fixing plate 54 on the other hand.

The second nut 80 is screwed on the screw shaft 76 on the one hand, and the extending rod fixing plate 5 on the other hand through a bearing.
6 is rotatably mounted.

Therefore, the rotation of the screw shaft 76 by the first servomotor 70 causes the blow core fixing plate 54 and the extending rod fixing plate 56 together with the first nut 78 and the second nut 80 to move at the same speed along the screw shaft 76. It is designed to move back and forth.

The second drive means 68 includes a second servomotor 82, a second nut 80, and a ball spline 84.
And first and second gears 86, 88.

The ball spline 84 is the spline shaft 9
0 and an outer cylinder 92 in which a ball is housed.

The second servo motor 82 drives the spline shaft 90 to rotate, and is fixed to the motor fixing plate 74 similarly to the first servo motor 70.

The spline shaft 90 corresponds to the ball screw 72.
Is arranged in parallel with the screw shaft 76 of the second servo motor 8 and the lower end and the upper end are rotatably supported by the upper base 40 and the motor fixing plate 74, respectively, and the upper end of the second servo motor 8
It is connected to 2.

The outer cylinder 92, into which the balls are inserted, engages with the spline shaft 90 in the circumferential direction and is slidable in the axial direction, and on the other hand, the extending rod fixing plate 56.
It is rotatably mounted on the bearing.

The first gear 86 is integrally attached to the outer cylinder 92, and is connected to the second servo motor 82 via the spline shaft 90.

The second gear 88 is integrally attached to the second nut 80 of the first driving means 66, and the first gear 8
The second nut 80 is adapted to rotate by engaging with 6.

Therefore, by rotating the second servo motor 82 when the first servo motor 70 is stopped, the spline shaft 90, the first and second gears 86,
The second nut 80 of the first driving means 66 can be rotated via 88 to move the stretching rod fixing plate 56 independently. In addition to the rotation of the screw shaft 76, the rotation of the first servomotor 70 and the second servomotor 82 causes the rotation of the screw shaft 76.
The second nut 8 via the first and second gears 86, 88
By rotating 0, the forward / backward movement of the stretching rod fixing plate 56 can be accelerated.

Next, a biaxial stretch blow molding method using the biaxial stretch blow molding apparatus will be described.

First, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the lip mold 46 supported by the lip mold support plate 44 is attached to the preform 4.
In the state where the lip portion 50 of No. 8 is held, it is rotatably transferred to the blow molding position by the turntable 42. In this case, the blow core fixing plate 54 and the stretching rod fixing plate 56 move to a position above the upper base 40 to retract the blow core 60 and the stretching rod 64 from the turntable 42.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the first driving means 66 and the second driving means 68 are operated to
The blow core fixing plate 54 and the stretching rod fixing plate 56 are lowered to position the blow core 60 at the blow molding position, and the tip of the stretching rod 64 is positioned at the initial stretching position near the bottom inner surface of the preform 48. In this case, the ball screw 7 is driven by the rotational drive of the first servomotor 70.
The second screw shaft 76 rotates, and the first nut 78 screwed to the screw shaft 76 lowers the blow core fixing plate 54.
In addition, at the same time when the first servomotor 70 is driven to rotate,
The servo motor 82 is driven to rotate, and the ball spline 8
The spline shaft 90 of 4 rotates and this spline shaft 90
As a result, the outer cylinder 92 is rotated, and the rotational force is generated by the first gear 8
The second nut 80 is transmitted to the second nut 80 via the sixth gear 88 and the second gear 88, and the second nut 80 is rotated by the first gear 86 and the second gear 88 in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the screw shaft 76. . Then, due to the rotation of the second nut 80, the stretch rod fixing plate 56 to which the second nut 80 is attached is accelerated at a moving speed higher than the moving speed of the blow core fixing plate 54 and descends. In this case, the rotation speeds of the first servo motor 70 and the second servo motor 82 are equal, and the first gear 86 and the second gear 8
When the gear ratio of 8 is 1: 1, the blow core fixing plate 54
Therefore, the stretching rod fixing plate 56 descends at a double speed with respect to the moving speed. In this way, by accelerating the stretch rod fixing plate 56 with respect to the blow core fixing plate 54, when the blow core 60 is placed at the blow molding position, the stretch rod 64 having a longer moving distance than that is moved to the stretch initial position. Can be set.

Therefore, the blow core can be lowered to a predetermined position without making the stroke of the blow core 60 longer than necessary, and the cycle loss at the time of lowering can be eliminated. Further, since the servo motor is used as the drive source, it is possible to easily control the speed and position at the time of descending by controlling the number of revolutions, as compared with the conventional case where hydraulic pressure or an air cylinder is used.

Then, the blow cavity 52 is clamped and stretch blow molding is performed. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the second servo motor 82 is rotationally driven to drive the ball spline 84, the first and second gears 8.
By rotating the second nut 80 via 6, 88, the stretching rod fixing plate 56 is lowered alone, the tip of the stretching rod 64 is lowered, and at the same time as the start of the descent or at a slight delay, the preform 48 is placed. By introducing blow air, stretching is performed in the vertical axis direction and the horizontal axis direction. Therefore, the draw rod 6 can be drawn at a speed suitable for draw blow molding.
4 can be moved, a desired stretching speed can be set, and the molding condition adjustment range can be widened.

After the stretch blow molding is completed, the first servo motor 70 and the second servo motor 82 are rotationally driven, and in reverse to the above-described descending operation, at least the tip of the blow core 60 is fixed to the blow core fixing plate 54. The extension rod fixing plate 54 is moved backward at a speed higher than the retreat moving speed of the blow core fixing plate 56, and the distal end of the stretching rod 64 is moved while raising the position to come out of the rotary table 42 and moving backward. At least a position where it comes out of the turntable 42 is lifted and moved backward. In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, from the bottom position of the blow cavity 52 to the position corresponding to the above-described stretch blow initial position, the stretch rod fixing plate 56 is independently operated by the second servo motor 82, as shown in FIG. After the movement, the blow core fixing plate 54 and the stretch rod fixing plate 56 may be moved by the first servo motor 70 and the second servo motor 82. In this way, by increasing the speed of the stretching rod fixing plate 56 and moving it backward, even if the moving distance of the stretching rod fixing plate 56 is longer than the moving distance of the blow core fixing plate 54, no time loss occurs and the predetermined position is reached. It can be moved.

10 and 11 show a biaxial stretch blow molding apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention.

In this biaxial stretch blow molding device, the second servomotor 82 is attached and fixed on the stretch rod fixing plate 56 so that it can be moved together with the stretch rod fixing plate 56, and the ball spline 84 is not used. Further, the structure is simplified by attaching and fixing the first gear 86 that meshes with the second gear 88 directly to the output shaft of the second servo motor 82.

The other structure and operation are the same as those in the above-mentioned embodiment, and the explanation thereof is omitted.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, the case where the stretch rod fixing plate is accelerated with respect to the blow core fixing plate of the biaxial stretch blow molding apparatus by using the first driving means and the second driving means has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and can be applied to various devices as long as it accelerates and retracts the first moving member relative to the second moving member.

In the above embodiment, the case where the stretch rod fixing plate is moved in the same direction with respect to the blow core fixing plate has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this example, and the first moving member and the second moving member are also used. It can also be applied to the case where the member is moved in the opposite direction. In this case, the threaded portion of the first nut and the threaded portion of the second nut are respectively reverse-threaded on the screw shaft of the ball screw. If the range of the threaded portion of the second nut to be screwed is larger than the range of the threaded portion of the first nut to be screwed, the second moving member can be accelerated. As a case where one member is accelerated while moving in the opposite direction, for example, there is a case where an injection cavity having a different moving amount is opened and closed in an injection molding station.

[0066]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the invention, when the drive shaft member is rotated by the first motor and the blow core fixing plate is driven back and forth through the first driven member, By driving the second driven member forward and backward by the second motor, the forward and backward movement of the stretch rod fixing plate can be accelerated with respect to the forward and backward driving of the blow core fixing plate, and the elevating stroke of the blow core fixing plate is lengthened. Without lowering, when the blow core is lowered to a predetermined position prior to stretch blow molding, the tip of the stretch rod can be positioned at the stretch initial position in the vicinity of the inner surface of the bottom of the preform. Allows the stretch rod to retract at a speed faster than the retraction speed of the blow core fixing plate, resulting in less cycle loss during stretch blow molding. Te, there is an effect that it is possible to improve the molding efficiency.

Further, after the blow core is positioned at a predetermined position prior to the stretch blow molding, the stretch rod fixing plate is singly operated by the second motor via the second driven member while the first driving means is stopped. By making it possible to drive back and forth, the stretching rod can be moved back and forth at a speed according to the stretch blow molding speed, good vertical axis stretching can be performed, and a desired stretching speed can be set. This has the effect of widening the adjustment range.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the extension rod fixing plate can be independently driven by the second motor through the second driven member while the first driving means is stopped. The stretching rod can be moved back and forth at a speed according to the stretch blow molding speed, good vertical axis stretching can be performed, a desired stretching speed can be set, and the range of molding condition adjustment is widened.

According to the biaxial stretch blow molding apparatus of the second invention, the first and second driving means are the first and second motors whose rotation speed can be easily controlled. By controlling the number of rotations, the descending speed of the stretching rod can be freely set, and the molding conditions can be adjusted in a wide range. Further, since the number of rotations of the motor can be accurately grasped by the CPU or the like, blow molding can be performed by confirming the position of the stretching rod, and extremely reproducible molding can be performed. In particular, it can contribute to the improvement of molding technology that responds to the recent trend of complicated product shapes and demands for high quality.

Further, since the ball screw consisting of the screw shaft and the first and second nuts is used for transmitting the lifting drive force, the screw shaft of this ball screw functions as a guide, so that the blow core fixing plate and the It is sufficient to use the minimum necessary number of guide rods for the elevating and lowering guide of the stretch rod fixing plate, and there is an effect that the structure can be simplified.

Further, the screw shaft is rotated by the first motor, and the blow core fixing plate and the stretch rod fixing plate are driven forward and backward through the first nut and the second nut, and then the second motor is used to drive the screw shaft. By rotating the second nut through the first and second gears in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the screw shaft, it is possible to easily increase the advancing / retreating speed of the stretching rod fixing plate. Since the drive means of the above need only rotate the second nut via the second motor and the first and second gears, there is an effect that the drive means can be simplified.

According to the biaxial stretch blow molding apparatus of the third invention, the second motor for driving the stretch rod is attached to the motor fixing plate, and the second motor is passed through the first and second gears. Since the rotational force is transmitted to the second nut by the spline shaft, the blow core fixing plate and the stretch rod fixing plate can be guided by the screw shaft and the spline shaft. As a result, the guide rod is reduced and the structure is further improved. There is an effect that can be simplified.

According to the biaxial stretch blow molding method of the fourth invention, when the blow core is clamped to the blow cavity, the stretch rod fixing plate is moved to the blow cavity at a moving speed higher than that of the blow core fixing plate. By advancing with respect to this, there is an effect that the stretching rod can be set at the initial stretching position without loss time during mold clamping of the blow core.

Further, by moving the stretching rod fixing plate from the initial stretching position of the stretching rod and extending the tip of the stretching rod to the bottom position of the blow cavity, the stretching rod is moved according to the stretching blow molding speed. There is an effect that favorable ordinate stretching can be performed.

Further, after the blow molding is completed, the blow core fixing plate is moved backward from the mold clamping position to a position where at least the tip of the blow core comes out of the transfer member, and the stretching rod fixing plate is moved at a speed higher than the backward moving speed of the blow core fixing plate. There is an effect that the distal end of the stretching rod can be moved back to a position where it is pulled out from the transfer member without causing a time loss, by causing the backward movement to move.

According to the moving member driving device of the fifth aspect of the invention, the first and second moving members having different moving distances can be simultaneously moved in the same direction and rapidly moved toward or away from each other by increasing the speed. There is an effect.

According to the moving member driving device of the sixth aspect of the present invention, there is an effect that the first and second moving members can be moved in different directions and can be rapidly moved closer to or separated from each other by increasing the speed.
