Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a molding apparatus for a plastic fuel tank and a molding method of a plastic fuel tank for a vehicle using the same, and more particularly to a molding method for molding a plastic fuel tank using blow molding, The present invention relates to a molding apparatus for a plastic fuel tank capable of improving quality problems with respect to durability as well as a molding method of a plastic fuel tank for a vehicle using the apparatus.
2. Description of the Related Art Generally, an engine of a vehicle is a device that converts thermal energy into mechanical rotational force by rotating a crankshaft using an explosive force generated by burning fuel in a combustion chamber.
In such an engine, fuel to be burned in the combustion chamber is continuously supplied, and a fuel tank capable of storing a certain amount of fuel in the vehicle is provided for continuous supply of fuel.
The fuel tank is usually made of steel and plastic. In recent years, however, the use of plastic fuel tanks for weight reduction and fuel economy improvement is increasing.
The plastic fuel tank is largely manufactured by a melting process, an extrusion process, and a blowing process. The melting process is a process of melting a plastic material by heating it to a high temperature and melting it with a molten resin. twin sheet, and cylindrical shape. In the blowing process, the parison is injected into the mold and the high-pressure air is blown into the parison to mold the parison into the shape of the fuel tank .
The plastic baffle is placed inside the parison and then the blowing process is performed. Accordingly, as the parison and the plastic baffle are fusion-bonded to each other in the course of the blowing process, An integrally bonded plastic fuel tank is produced.
On the other hand, the blowing process is performed through two steps of primary blowing and secondary blowing.
The primary blowing is a process for imparting stretchability to the parison by improving the fluidity of the resin. The secondary blowing is a process for molding the parison to which elasticity is imparted in the shape of a fuel tank. If the blowing process is a primary blowing, If the molding is performed in one step without dividing into two stages of the secondary blowing, high pressure air acts on the parison, which is not given elasticity, so that quality problems occur in the completed fuel tank, and in some cases, In order to prevent this, there are two stages of primary blowing (pre-blowing) and secondary blowing.
The primary blowing proceeds in a state in which the mold is released, and the secondary blowing proceeds in a state in which the metal mold is joined.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a molding apparatus for blow molding a parison made of a plastic molten resin into a shape of a plastic fuel tank, A lower mold having a lower cavity formed therein to accommodate only a section and performing a merging and releasing operation; And an upper mold having an upper cavity formed therein for receiving the remaining section of the parison not accommodated in the lower cavity, and an upper mold located in the lower gold shape and performing the assembling and releasing operations.
And a baffle pin provided with an air hole for primary blow molding of the parison and having a baffle fitted at an upper end thereof and capable of being inserted into or removed from the parison through an opened lower end of the parison .
A PCD which is located below the lower mold and is installed to be capable of closing operation and opening operation and which closes the lower end of the parison in a closing operation in a state where the baffle pin into which the baffle is inserted is inserted into the parison .
And a parison robot which closes the upper end of the parison by holding the upper end of the parison and moving the parison to the upper cavity and the lower cavity before the parison is firstly blow molded.
An air hole is formed for the secondary blow molding of the parison, which is inserted through one of the lower mold and the upper mold, and the end of which is inserted into the parison through the parison at the time of insertion, And a formed needle pin.
The lower mold and the upper mold are provided with mold protrusions for fixing the baffles located inside the parison when the upper mold and the lower mold are assembled.
The lower mold and the upper mold may be composed of first and second lower molds and first and second upper molds, And mold protrusions are provided on the first and second lower molds and the first and second upper molds, respectively.
Wherein the baffle pin having the baffle inserted therein is inserted into the inside of the parison in a state where both the lower mold and the upper mold are released, and the upper and lower ends of the parison are sealed before proceeding. do.
After completion of the primary blow molding of the parison, the upper mold is assembled, so that the mold projection of the upper mold fixes the upper end of the baffle; After the baffle is fixed by the mold projection of the upper mold, the baffle pin moves backward only to the position of the PCD for airtightness of the parison; After the baffle pin is retracted, the lower mold is assembled so that the mold protrusion of the lower mold fixes the lower end of the baffle and maintains airtightness of the parison; And then the secondary fin is blown into the parison after the needle pin is inserted into the parison in a state where the lower mold is assembled.
In addition, a parison fusing line is formed on the surface of the fuel tank manufactured using the apparatus according to the present invention, and the fusing line is formed only in a straight line from one end to the other end.
According to the present invention, in manufacturing a plastic fuel tank through blow molding, a parison is pressed only by a metal mold to thermally fuse the parison, thereby forming a fusion line made of straight lines on the surface of the plastic fuel tank This makes it possible to improve the durability of the molded plastic fuel tank and to prevent cracks from occurring in the fusion line during the durability test, thereby improving the quality problem of the product and further improving the merchantability There is an effect that can be.
