Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for supporting an outer region of a mouth section of a molding during the expansion of a thermoplastic preform by applying a medium under pressure within a blow mold.
  • the invention further relates to a device for supporting an outer region of a mouth section of a molded article, which has at least one enclosing element and which is arranged in the area of a device for blow molding the molded article and encloses the mouth section of the molded article during the action of a medium under pressure .
  • Devices of this type are used to protect the mouth section of preforms made of a thermoplastic material, for example preforms made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) within a blow molding machine in the region of a blow molding station against expansion by the action of the pressure medium. An expansion would lead to problems in the area of a downstream filling machine or when screwing closures onto the external thread of the mouth sections.
  • such a blowing machine has a heating device and a blowing device, in the area of which the pre-tempered preform is expanded into a container by biaxial orientation.
  • the expansion takes place with the aid of compressed air which is introduced into the preform to be expanded.
  • the procedural sequence for such an expansion of the preform is explained in DE-OS 43 40 291.
  • the preforms and the blown containers can be transported within the blow molding device with the aid of different handling devices.
  • the use of transport mandrels on which the preforms are attached has proven particularly useful.
  • support bodies for handling the preforms has the advantage that the preforms can be plugged with their mouth onto a coupling element of the support body and that during the further transport movements, the transport elements used only act on the support body and not directly on the preform. This prevents damage and deformation of the preform, which is soft due to the heating. In addition, material removal through direct-acting gripping elements, which could lead to dust formation, for example, is avoided.
  • the known supporting bodies in the form of transport mandrels have a high mechanical strength and, as a result, are highly reliable and have a long service life. In particular when using rotating transport devices, however, centrifugal forces occur which impair the handling speed.
  • gripping tongs for handling preforms is described, for example, in FR-OS 27 20 679.
  • a spreading mandrel that can be inserted into a mouth area of the preform for holding purposes is explained in WO 95 33 616.
  • each half of a blow mold is assigned to a half of a threaded insert, which insert portion of the molding during blowing after closing the Blow station supported on the outside.
  • a support can only be used if the preform is fed to the blow molding station in such a way that it is held by a transducer mandrel inserted into the mouth of the preform, so that the outer region of the mouth section is free.
  • This object is achieved in that a support sleeve is pushed on the outside over the mouth portion.
  • Another object of the present invention is to improve a device of the type mentioned in the introduction in such a way that the use of gripping devices acting on the outside is supported.
  • the enclosing element is designed like a sleeve and is held by a carrier which can be positioned relative to the blow mold in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the blow mold.
  • the use of the sleeve-like enclosing element prevents the thread area from widening during blowing.
  • the closed design of the enclosing element means that no additional forces are introduced into the locking of the blow mold and the carriers for holding the blow mold. Due to the lowerable arrangement of the enclosing element, the outer region of the molded article is kept clear before positioning this element in the direction of the molding, so that it can be used for intended handling Available.
  • the shaping can thus first be inserted into the blow mold by handling devices, and only after the handling element has been removed does the enclosing element become effective after being positioned in the direction of the shaping. After the blowing process has been completed, the enclosing element is removed from the area of the molding so that the finished-blown container can be removed from the blowing station.
  • Improved support can be achieved by providing the support sleeve with an undercut-free inner profile in the push-on direction.
  • Increased handling space for the shaping is particularly important if the support sleeve is lowered to perform the support function in the case of a molding positioned with its mouth in the vertical direction upward within the blow mold.
  • a simple mechanical implementation of movement processes can be achieved in that the support sleeve is pushed onto the mouth section before a blowing agent is supplied. Basically, however, it is sufficient to allow the support sleeve to take effect only above a certain blowing pressure, since low blowing pressures cannot yet lead to any deformation of the mouth section.
  • a simple mechanical construction is also supported in that the support sleeve is pushed onto the mouth section before a stretching rod is inserted into the molding. According to a possible method variant, it is also possible for the support sleeve to be pushed onto the mouth section after a stretching rod has been inserted into the molding.
  • Process time can be reduced by pushing the support sleeve onto the mouth section while a stretching rod is being inserted into the blank.
  • a particularly high support effect can be achieved in that the mouth section is supported by the support sleeve directly under an edge of a mouth opening of the molding.
  • a compact structure can be supported in that the carrier is designed as a connection element for blowing agent supply.
  • connection element can be positioned together with the support sleeve by a cam control.
  • the support sleeve is provided with a stretch rod bushing for a stretch rod.
  • a high mechanical stability in the implementation of the stretching rod is achieved in that a mouth insert arranged coaxially to the support sleeve has an inner diameter which is larger than an outer diameter of the stretching rod to form an annular gap.
  • a further improvement in the support of the mouth section can be achieved in that a distance between the mouth insert and the support sleeve essentially corresponds to a maximum wall thickness of the molding in the region of the mouth section.
  • a loss of pressurized blowing medium can be prevented by providing the mouth insert with a seal.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a device for blow molding when handling the moldings with the mouth oriented downward
  • FIG. 2 shows a partial representation of a molded article inserted into a blow molding station with an upwardly oriented mouth and associated encircling element and stretching device
  • FIG. 3 shows a construction modified from the embodiment in FIG. 2, in which the enclosing element is provided with an inner profile
  • Fig. 4 is an enlarged partial view of an enclosing element arranged along a mouth portion of the molded article
  • Fig. 5 is an enlarged partial illustration of a molding which is inserted into a blow molding station and which is provided with marked support areas at the mouth section.
  • the device for blow molding containers has a heating wheel (1) and a blowing wheel (2).
  • Preforms to be processed are fed via a feed rail (3) into the area of a turning device (4) and transported by transfer wheels (5,6,7) into the area of the heating wheel (1).
  • the preforms are guided hanging with their mouths oriented upwards along the feed rail (1) and rotated by 180 ° by the turning device (4).
  • Heating in the area of the heating wheel (1) takes place in such a way that the preforms are oriented upright with their mouths facing downward.
  • Heating devices (8) and cooling devices (9) are arranged along the heating wheel (1).
  • a cooling device (9) is preferably arranged between two heating devices (8).
  • the heating devices (8) heat the preforms with the aid of IR radiation and the cooling devices (9) blow air onto the surfaces of the heated preforms for surface cooling.
  • the tempered preforms are transported from a transfer wheel (10) to the blowing wheel (2) and used here in molds (11) which are held by blowing stations (12).
  • the blowing stations (12) can be opened and closed like a book.
  • the blown containers are removed from the blowing station (12) and from transfer wheels (13,6,14) an output section (15) fed.
  • the preform is heated with an upwardly oriented mouth and the preform is expanded to the final container in the area of the blowing station (12) with the mouth oriented upwards, turning devices can be dispensed with. In this way, a simplified material circulation can be achieved.
  • Fig. 2 shows a molding (16) which is arranged in the region of the blowing station (12).
  • the molding (16) is transferred from a gripping device (17) to the blowing station (12), which engages around the molding (16) in a threaded area (18).
  • the threaded area (18) is arranged between a support ring (19) and an opening (20) of the molded article (16).
  • connection element (21) is arranged above the blowing station (12), which enables a supply of blown air after a relative movement in the direction of the molding (16).
  • the connecting element (21) is designed as a connecting piston and is provided with a guide roller (22) which, by means of a cam control, positions the connecting element (21) in the direction of the molding (16) and, after the blowing process has been completed, positions it in allows an opposite direction.
  • the connection element (21) is provided in the region of its orientation facing the molded part (16) with a support sleeve (23) which has an inner diameter (24) which is approximately an outer diameter (25) of an opening section (26) of the molded part (16 ) in an environment of the threaded area (18).
  • the support sleeve (23) can have a transverse flange (27) which is used for holding in the region of the connecting element (21).
  • the connecting element (21) is equipped with an orifice insert (28) which has an outer diameter (29) which corresponds approximately to an inner diameter (30) of the molded article (16) in the region of the orifice section (26).
  • the mouth insert (28) can be provided with a bevel (31) on the outside.
  • the mouth insert (28) and the support sleeve (23) are arranged essentially coaxially to one another and to a longitudinal axis (32) of the mold.
  • the longitudinal mold axis (32) coincides with a longitudinal mold axis (33) of a molded article (16) inserted into the blowing station (12).
  • the stretching rod (25) has an outer diameter which is somewhat smaller than the inner diameter of the mouth insert (28). As a result, an annular gap is formed after the stretching rod (35) has been introduced into the molded article (36), through which blow air can be supplied.
  • the muzzle insert (28) is preferably provided on the outside with a seal (36), for example an annular seal, in order to provide sufficient gas tightness when blowing air is supplied.
