Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to arbitrarily set the draw ratio depending upon the final shape of a container and to give sufficient molecular orientation to the trunk of the container, by drawing the trunk of a plastic cylindrical body having a closed bottom (a preform) in such a way that the diameter of the trunk should be smaller than that of the neck of the cylindrical body. CONSTITUTION:A pipe obtained by extrusion molding of a plastic as a raw material of a container is cut in a specific length to prepare a cylindrical body 1. Then, a closed bottom 2 is formed on an end face of one side of the cylindrical body 1 to prepare a cylindrical body 3 having a bottom. The cylindrical body 3 having a bottom thus obtained is drawn in such a way that the diameter lof the trunk 4 is smaller than the diameter m of the neck 5. By carrying out such drawing, it is possible to make the diameter of the trunk smaller than the original pipe diameter without making the thickness of the trunk thinner, on the contrary, making it thicker. On the cylindrical body 6 having a bottom where the diameter of the trunk has become smaller by carrying out drawing, a screw part 7 corresponding to the open part of the container on its neck part 6 is formed to give a preform having a bottom.

This type of plastic bottle is produced by stretching a bottomed tubular body (preform), which is considerably smaller in size than the final container and generally in the shape of a test tube, in the axial direction in a blow mold within the stretching temperature range of the plastic material. It is also manufactured by blow stretching in the circumferential direction.

As a method for manufacturing the preform used in this method for manufacturing plastic bottles, a vibrator manufactured by extruding raw material plastic is cut into a predetermined length,
A so-called pipe method is known in which one end of the preform is heat-sealed to form a closed end, and the other end is formed with a neck corresponding to the mouth and neck of the final container.

When manufacturing a preform using the above-mentioned pipe method, the axial dimension of the preform can be set arbitrarily according to the stretching ratio, but the circumferential dimension (diameter) is determined by the pipe diameter, so the circumferential stretching ratio It is difficult to set it arbitrarily depending on the situation.

For example, if the pipe diameter is close to the body diameter of the final container, it will be difficult to provide effective circumferential molecular orientation to the final container body. If this is not applied, the barrel wall will expand in the circumferential direction due to the internal pressure caused by the carbon dioxide gas filled as the contents, and this expansion will cause problems such as the label attached to the barrel wall coming off.

By performing such a drawing process, it is possible to make the body diameter smaller than the original pipe diameter while increasing the body wall thickness without reducing the body wall thickness, and thus the final container. This makes it possible to provide sufficient molecular orientation depending on the diameter of the body. In this case, the aperture ratio A/m may be adjusted as appropriate depending on the diameter of the body of the final container.

This connecting portion 20 usually corresponds to the shoulder of the final container, so if the connecting portion 20 forms a horizontal surface, that is, the transition from the neck 5 to the body 4 is step-like. In some cases, the connecting portion 20 is stretched irregularly, and a portion of the formed bottle from the neck to the body has irregularly varying thickness, resulting in a lens effect due to the variation in thickness. As a result, when the container is observed, the inside of the container appears to be significantly distorted, resulting in a poor appearance of the container itself, which tends to reduce its commercial value.

前述した様に、接続部20が傾斜勾配を形成している様

As described above, when the connecting portion 20 forms an inclined slope, the above-mentioned disadvantages can be effectively prevented.

This preform is fed into a stretch blow molding machine known per se, set in a mold, and stretched in the axial direction by pushing a stretch rod, and blow stretched in the circumferential direction by suction of fluid. do. At this time, the stretching ratio in the circumferential direction is larger than the stretching ratio in the axial direction, so that as a result, the molecular orientation in the circumferential direction is more highly oriented than the molecular orientation in the axial direction. The fact that the polyester wall of the bottle body
This is confirmed by comparing the axial orientation coefficient and the circumferential orientation coefficient using an in-plane orientation measurement method using fluorescence polarization.
