-該伸展桿棒9隨著支撐它之線性馬達1 0被降低直至 與該預製件5內側之底部接觸,以提前進行該桿棒9相對 該吹模製程之開始的降低; -該噴射噴嘴7已被放置成與該預製件5之頸部6接 觸;一外殼(未示出)可被選擇性地形成在該噴嘴7之下 面8上,以在此承接該頸部6之至少該上端;該噴嘴7及 該預製件5間之接觸的密封可如此被改善,以確保該方法 之較佳控制。 然後該加壓空氣被噴射進入該噴嘴7,且該伸展桿棒 9係降低進入該預製件5,並遠至該模具1,2之底部,以 輔助該模製操作。根據本發明,如藉由使用控制該桿棒9 用之電磁裝置而變成可能的,該桿棒9係藉由一在最多 1/30秒、較佳地是甚至最多1/100秒之後所獲得的相當高 之力量、亦即至少4牛頓馬上位移,且以此一便於造成該 預製件5之材料的至少1 / 1 〇 〇毫米位移(換句話說該桿棒 9貫穿進入該預製件5)之方式。由於此條件之結果,對 比於慣例,其係可能避免必需將該吹模製程分爲二步驟, 其第一步驟已在一相當適度的壓力下進行,且該第二步驟 在一相當高壓下進行。根據本發明的方法之使用有利地是 藉由採用一電磁系統1 0、1 1以控制該桿棒9之位移而成 爲可能,使其可能以單一吹模步驟達成該容器1 3之模製 ,該吹模步驟能夠在一平均之壓力範圍、譬如15至25巴 -12- 201000298 中進行。 圖5及6顯示該裝置於其最後狀態中,使所模製之容 器13及該伸展桿棒9已抵達該容器13之底部附近。在此 之後,該模具係藉由分開該零件1,2被打開,該桿棒9及 該馬達10被舉起,且藉由該頸部6夾緊該容器13,以被 移除供其處理之隨後階段。 一裝置已被顯示在圖1至6中,在此一馬達10控制 單一伸展桿棒9。然而,該馬達1 0當然能控制一支撐支臂 ,該支撐支臂本身承載複數桿棒9,使用將與該等桿棒有 關聯的相等數目之模具1,2,輔助相等數目之容器1 3的形 成。如此能以同時之方式形成複數容器1 3,這增加該裝置 之生產力。 使用藉由電磁機構1 〇、1 1所控制之桿棒9以獲得該 預製件5之伸展係一伸展裝置之有利的範例,但其係可能 使用其他型式之伸展裝置,用於施行本發明之方法,由施 加至該預製件5的力量及它們將強加於形成該預製件5的 材料上之位移的觀點,該等伸展裝置在功能上係相同的。 根據本發明之方法的優點之一亦爲其可允許一用於預 先加熱該預製件5之溫度係低於該等傳統方法,典型較低 達攝氏1及20度之間’視所處理之材料而定。 於二步驟中施行該吹模法將留在本發明之精神內,如 傳統上所常有的,而且在已被討論的條件之下施加該伸展 力。這樣一來’本發明之一些優點將喪失,亦即該吹模法 製程之簡化及生產力中之增加。然而,比於該傳統方法中 -13- 201000298 較低之吹模壓力可被使用,及/或用於預先加熱該預製件 5之溫度可被減少’及/或使用與該等傳統方法中所使用 者不同之材料’對比於根據本發明之方法,該等傳統方法 中所使用之材料將不會允許其在合適之條件中變形。 【圖式簡單說明】 本發明將藉由閱讀以下之敘述、參考以下之附圖而更 佳了解: -圖1及2係由該前面(圖1 )及從側面(圖2 )所觀 看’並在實施根據本發明的方法之前槪要地顯示根據本發 明之裝置的一範例;

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a container made of a plastic material by blow molding [Prior Art] A container substantially made of a plastic material, such as PET ( A bottle made of polyethylene terephthalate can be produced in the following manner. A preform is formed by injection molding, and during injection molding, a portion is formed on the preform which is intended to form the neck of the container. The preform is then heated (to approximately 110 degrees Celsius for PET) and inserted between two separate portions of a mold. The mold is then closed again by placing the two parts in contact with one another, allowing the neck of the preform to emerge from the closed mold. Then, a sealed nozzle is applied to the neck through which a pressurized gas, such as air, is blown. This gas causes the hot preform to expand and thereby establish an empty interior space in the plastic material to press the preform into a container in a manner that presses it against the wall of the mold. When the material has been cooled using a means for cooling the mold, the sealed nozzle is removed, a clamping device clamps the neck emerging from the mold, and the wall of the mold is separated to release the container. The container is then removed to suffer from the subsequent stages of its manufacture. Traditionally, the molding of the preform during the blow molding process was aided by a mechanical stretching system. The mechanical stretching system conventionally includes a stretching rod -5 - 201000298 rod, i.e., a rod " on the preform that exerts pressure along its longitudinal axis to facilitate its extension in conjunction with the blowing method. The use of this stretching rod helps to position the preform correctly in the mold during the blow molding process 'and thus obtains a satisfactory shape of the final container. Traditionally, the molding operation is a habit The operation known as "pre-blowing" begins during which the air is injected onto the preform at a pressure (10 to 20 bar) which is lower than the pressure during the actual blow phase ( 2 5 to 40 bar). The duration of the pre-blowing phase is approximately twice the duration of the blown phase. The stretch bar is actuated at the beginning of the pre-blowing process. Different types of devices are generally used for the displacement of the stretching rod. A pressure control can be used. However, it has the disadvantage that the position of the rod or its operating power does not allow precise control. A hydraulic control can be used. The rate of displacement is more limited than for air pressure control, but a larger operating power can be applied. From the standpoint of the accuracy of these operational parameters, the disadvantages are similar to those of the air pressure control. A mechanical control can be used, but placing this type of system in place is cumbersome. The last electronic system can be used, including ball screw drives. In the improved control of the rate at which the control of the stretch rod is obtained, the system has the advantage over the pneumatic and hydraulic system, however, the rate is still limited to about 2 meters per second. It has the disadvantage of a significant degree of wear of the parts and limits their service life without maintenance. -6 - 201000298 In general, existing systems achieve a productivity and accuracy in the operation of such devices 'which may be desirable to improve. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for manufacturing a container made of a plastic material by blow molding a hot preform on the inside of a mold, and assisting by simultaneous stretching of the preform, Improved productivity and greater precision than current methods and devices are achieved in this control and in these results. For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a method for producing a container made of a plastic material by blow molding, according to which a preheated preform is placed in a mould, allowing the preform to be intended to form the neck of the container One portion of the portion emerges from the mold, and pressurized gas is blown onto the preform, and the deformation mechanism assists the deformation thereof so that the preform conforms to the inner wall surface of the mold, which is characterized by starting the stretching process Thereafter, the stretching mechanism applies a stretching force of at least 4 Newtons to the preform after a duration of up to 1 / 30 seconds to cause a displacement of the material of the preform of at least 1 / 1 mm during this period. After the stretching process is initiated, the stretching force of at least 4 Newtons is preferably obtained after a duration of up to 1/100 seconds. The blow molding process can be carried out in a single step. The blow molding method can be carried out under a pressure of between 15 and 25 bar. The preform can be made of PET. Another subject of the present invention is a device for producing at least one container made of a plastic material by blow molding, comprising at least one mold, and a preheated preform made of the plastic material 201000298 can be placed in the mold; a mechanism for extending the preform and a mechanism for controlling the same; and a mechanism for blowing a gas onto the preform, which includes an injection nozzle that can be applied to the preform, characterized in that the preform is When made of PET and preheated to 11 degrees Celsius, the stretching mechanism makes it possible to apply a stretching force of at least 4 Newtons after a duration of up to 1/3 0 seconds after starting the stretching process. The preform 'to cause a displacement of the material of the preform of at least 1 / 1 mm during this period. The blow molding mechanism allows a gas pressurized to 15 to 25 bar to be sprayed onto the preform. The stretching mechanism can include a stretch bar that can be applied to the preform. The stretch bar can be controlled by an electromagnetic mechanism. The electromagnetic mechanism can include a linear motor secured to the extension rod and a magnetic track for transmitting power to the linear motor. The apparatus can include a plurality of dies and extension bars that are secured to a support arm that is itself controlled by a single component of the control mechanism. As will be appreciated, the method according to the present invention, after the start of the stretching operation, after a very short period of time (maximum 1 / 30 seconds, preferably 1/100 second maximum), is quite high, ie A stretching force of at least 4 Newtons is applied to the preform and to cause at least a 1/100 millimeter displacement of the material of the preform during this period. The inventors have determined that even if this condition is to be considered, it would be possible to apply a pressure during the blow molding process to achieve a very high quality blow molded product by -8 - 201000298, which pressure can be quite appropriate (typical I5 Up to 25 bar), and in particular by providing the possibility of eliminating pre-blowing phases. In this case, the blow molding method occurs during a single phase (however, during this period, the pressure of the air, and the thrust and pushing rate of the stretching rod may also vary in a gradual and controlled manner), and The duration of the manufacturing process of the container is substantially shortened, so that the productivity of the device is increased, and the design of the blow molding device and its attachment can be simplified. These conditions can be obtained using a device according to the invention, wherein the stretching mechanism, such as a stretching rod, is controlled by an electromagnetic mechanism comprising a linear motor fixed to the stretching mechanism and a magnetic element that is not in contact with each other. track. As such, there is no problem with the wear of the running components. Moreover, this type of system makes it possible to obtain this increased thrust almost immediately, which is required to carry out the method according to the invention. Finally, it is easy to control in a sophisticated manner, in particular by a computer mechanism, to impose precise support forces and displacement rates on the stretching mechanism, keeping them constant or causing them to follow the curves in a predetermined manner. Changes, these curves have been shown by the experience of the user to result in a product of the best quality. Similarly, it allows for the establishment of a mechanism for precise metering of different operating parameters and displacements of the stretching mechanism. This makes it possible to fine tune the operating parameters in the reaction, for example, an unexpected or unexpected modification of the viscosity of the preform, for example, due to changes in its temperature, which may not be as accurate as theoretically expected. . 201000298 [Embodiment] Figs. 1 and 2 are viewed from the front (Fig. 1) and from the side (Fig. 2), and schematically show the basic elements of an example of the blow molding apparatus according to the present invention, and the following components are Visible: - the two parts 1, 2 of the mould, which are in a position separated from each other, and the shape of the contours 3, 4 of the interior spaces of the parts are designed in a conventional manner to define the blow moulding method The shape of the molded container; the mold parts 1, 2 have structural details and accompanying equipment for the movement, and the heating/cooling system is a conventional design and is not displayed; - a preform 5, which The conventional method consists of a material intended to form a container to be manufactured, such as a part of PET, which is used for food use; as is known in the art, the preform is preheated to a temperature which allows the mold to be molded. The article is blow molded (for PET approximately 1 degree Celsius) and held in place by a device that is not present; its upper portion 6 has traditionally been shaped to form a container to be molded Neck; - an air jet nozzle 7' Formed by a gas permeable material and connected to a conventional mechanism (not shown) such that it may inject pressurized air therein, which may emerge from there through its lower surface 8; needless to say, is different from air The gas can be used with the advantage that air is inexpensive and readily available in compressed form; - the stretching rod 9' can be slid inside a longitudinal orifice in a controlled manner and passed through the nozzle 7; The present invention controls the mechanism of the stretch rod 9 which has the property that they allow the stretch rod 9 to apply a force of 4 Newtons or more to the 10-201000298 force to the preform, which is at 3/1 The maximum duration of 0 seconds, preferably up to 1/100 second, is obtained after the 3/1 leap second, preferably after the 1 / 1 leap second, while the blow molding method Obtaining a displacement of the rod 9 in the preform 6 of at least 1 / 10 mm (so a corresponding displacement of the material of the preform 5): these conditions represent that the required winner is capable of being at a relatively low pressure ( 10 to 20 bar) exempt from a pre-blowing operation It is necessary to perform a blow molding operation at a substantially larger rated pressure (25 to 40 bar) and to replace the process by a single blow mold phase which can be carried out in a relatively average pressure range, typically about 15 Up to 2 5 bar' and still get satisfactory product quality. Naturally, this does not preclude the use of higher blow mold pressures which can be as high as, for example, 40 bar when preforms 5 of large size or made of materials that are difficult to mold can be desired. In the example that is preferred but not exclusive and predictable by the inventors, 'the control mechanism is an electromagnetic mechanism' includes a magnetic motor (linear motor) 10 and its guiding mechanism (not shown) And moving by a magnetic track 1 1 without contact; a path analyzer 12 that is fixed to the linear motor 10' and makes it possible to determine and adjust its position and its displacement; In the version of the device of the motor, these components are conventional and will not be disclosed in greater detail herein. Figures 3 and 4 show the same components as Figures 1 and 2, as viewed in the same manner, although the device is just at the beginning of its operation. In other words: -11 - 201000298 - The wall 1, 2 of the mold has Closed to the preform 5 again, leaving only the neck 6 to remain outside the mold; - the stretch rod 9 is lowered with the linear motor 10 supporting it until it contacts the bottom of the inside of the preform 5 To advance the lowering of the rod 9 relative to the beginning of the blow molding process; - the spray nozzle 7 has been placed in contact with the neck 6 of the preform 5; a housing (not shown) can be selectively Formed on the lower surface 8 of the nozzle 7 to receive at least the upper end of the neck portion 6; the sealing of the contact between the nozzle 7 and the preform 5 can be improved to ensure better control of the method. The pressurized air is then injected into the nozzle 7, and the stretch rod 9 is lowered into the preform 5 and as far as the bottom of the mold 1, 2 to assist the molding operation. According to the invention, it is made possible by using an electromagnetic device for controlling the rod 9, which is obtained after a maximum of 1/30 second, preferably even at most 1/100 second. The relatively high force, that is, at least 4 Newtons, is immediately displaced, and as a result, at least 1 / 1 〇〇 mm displacement of the material of the preform 5 is facilitated (in other words, the rod 9 penetrates into the preform 5) The way. As a result of this condition, it is possible to avoid having to divide the blow molding process into two steps, the first step of which has been carried out under a relatively moderate pressure, and the second step being carried out under a relatively high pressure. . The use of the method according to the invention is advantageously made possible by the use of an electromagnetic system 10, 1 1 to control the displacement of the rod 9, making it possible to achieve the molding of the container 13 in a single blow molding step, The blow molding step can be carried out in an average pressure range, such as 15 to 25 bar-12-201000298. Figures 5 and 6 show the device in its final state such that the molded container 13 and the stretching rod 9 have reached the bottom of the container 13. After that, the mold is opened by separating the parts 1, 2, the rod 9 and the motor 10 are lifted, and the container 13 is clamped by the neck 6 to be removed for disposal. The subsequent stage. A device has been shown in Figures 1 through 6, where a motor 10 controls a single stretch rod 9. However, the motor 10 can of course control a support arm which itself carries a plurality of rods 9, using an equal number of moulds 1, 2 associated with the rods, to assist an equal number of containers 1 3 Formation. This makes it possible to form the plurality of containers 13 in a simultaneous manner, which increases the productivity of the apparatus. An advantageous example of using the rod 9 controlled by the electromagnetic mechanism 1 〇, 1 1 to obtain an extension-stretching device of the preform 5, but it is possible to use other types of stretching devices for carrying out the invention The method is functionally identical from the standpoint of the force applied to the preform 5 and the displacement they will impose on the material forming the preform 5. One of the advantages of the method according to the invention is that it allows a temperature for preheating the preform 5 to be lower than the conventional methods, typically between 1 and 20 degrees Celsius. And set. Performing the blow molding in the second step will remain within the spirit of the invention, as is conventionally the case, and the stretching force is applied under the conditions already discussed. As a result, some of the advantages of the present invention will be lost, i.e., the simplification of the blow molding process and the increase in productivity. However, a lower blow mold pressure can be used than in the conventional method -13-201000298, and/or the temperature for preheating the preform 5 can be reduced' and/or used in such conventional methods. Different materials for the user 'Compared to the method according to the invention, the materials used in these conventional methods will not allow them to be deformed under suitable conditions.
