Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a resin container and a manufacturing apparatus.
- Containers for storing cosmetics, milky lotions, etc. are required to have an aesthetically pleasing appearance in order to increase consumers' purchasing motivation.
- a container for accommodating this kind of cosmetics a glass bottle that has a profound feeling and a high-class feeling and can maintain a beautiful state even after repeated use is preferably used.
- glass bottles are heavy and fragile, and the cost of transportation and manufacturing is high. Therefore, it is being considered to replace the glass bottle with a resin container in the container for accommodating cosmetics and the like.
- a hot parison type blow molding method As one of the methods for manufacturing a resin container, a hot parison type blow molding method has been conventionally known.
- a resin container is blow molded by utilizing the heat held during injection molding of the preform. Therefore, it is advantageous in that it is possible to manufacture a resin container which is more diverse and has an excellent aesthetic appearance as compared with the cold parison type.
- the resin container When a resin container is used as a container for accommodating cosmetics, etc., in order to emphasize the sense of quality and weight, the resin container is molded into a shape with a thick bottom and a thin body. Is desirable.
- a resin container having the above-mentioned wall thickness distribution is to be molded by a hot parison type blow molding method, a thick-walled preform having the thickest bottom thickness is applied (for example, Patent Document). 1).
- the rate-determining of each step in the molding cycle of the container is defined by the injection molding time of the preform. That is, in the case of injection molding a thick-walled preform, the injection molding time of the preform, which is the rate-determining step, becomes longer, so that the molding cycle of the container also becomes longer.
- the bottom of the thick preform is also formed thick (hard), the amount of heat of the preform may be insufficient even if it is reheated in the temperature control section. Since the bottom of the preform is thick in the thick-bottomed container, the body, which is relatively thin, is excessively cooled when the bottom is sufficiently cooled during injection molding. Then, the ratio of the skin layer becomes large in the body portion, and the amount of heat is remarkably reduced.
- an event may occur in which the corners of the container body and the edges of the ridges are not clearly shaped during blow molding.
- the aesthetic appearance is important for containers that contain cosmetics, etc., and if the molding accuracy of the container is low, it will lead to a decrease in the purchasing motivation of the product. Since the temperature of the injection type (injection core type and injection cavity type) is usually set uniformly (for example, 20 ° C.), it is difficult to selectively lower the temperature of only the thick portion (bottom, etc.) of the preform. Is.
- the outer peripheral portion (corner) side can be molded into a concave shape.
- the bottom of the preform is also formed to be thick.
- the outside (outer surface) of the bottom of the container is shaped according to the cavity surface of the blow type or bottom type, but the inside of the bottom of the container is dented because the outer peripheral side is thinner than the center side. That is, in the cross-sectional shape of the inside (inner surface) of the bottom of the container, the outer peripheral portion side is concave and the central portion side is convex.
- the stretching ratio of the preform differs between the diagonal direction and the facing direction, and the stretching amount on the diagonal side is larger than that on the facing direction side. Therefore, the diagonal portion corresponding to the corner portion of the bottom portion is further stretched to be thinner than the facing portion, and the dent in the vicinity of the corner portion inside the bottom portion becomes more prominent. If an expensive liquid substance such as perfume is contained in a container having such a shape, it becomes difficult to completely use up the contents, which is not convenient.

- the conditions for injection molding of a preform having a thick bottom as described above are strict, and it is particularly difficult to apply sufficient pressure retention and cooling treatment to the bottom of a thick bottom.
- the cooling rate differs from site to site due to the difference in resin density and temperature at the bottom, causing local abnormal shrinkage, causing sink marks and bubbles. It's easy to do.
- cooling of the bottom of the container during blow molding tends to be insufficient, and sink marks are likely to occur on the bottom of the container after blow molding.

- the outer diameter of the main body 43a is smaller than the inner diameter of the first layer 24 of the preform 20. Therefore, when the temperature adjusting rod 43 is inserted into the first layer 24, the main body portion 43a does not come into contact with the body portion 21 of the first layer 24.
- the tip of the pressing portion 43b is formed in a tapered tapered shape corresponding to the shape of the tapered region 24a.
- the pressing portion 43b formed at the tip of the main body portion 43a is in close contact with the taper region 24a of the first layer 24, and heat exchange between the pressing portion 43b and the taper region 24a is performed.

- FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a process of a container manufacturing method.
- Step S101 First injection molding step
- the resin material is injected from the first injection device 37 into the mold space of the intermediate molded body 20A, and the intermediate molded body 20A corresponding to the first layer 24 of the preform 20 is manufactured.
- a tapered region 24a is formed on the inner peripheral side of the intermediate molded body 20A in which the wall thickness of the body portion 21 increases toward the bottom portion 22.
- the transfer plate of the transfer mechanism 36 moved by a predetermined angle, and the intermediate molded body 20A held by the neck mold 36a contained the heat retained during injection molding. In this state, it is conveyed to the second injection molding unit 32.
- Step S102 Second injection molding step
- the second injection molding unit 32 after accommodating the intermediate molded body 20A inside the injection cavity type (second injection cavity type), the second injection is performed between the outer periphery of the intermediate molded body 20A and the injection cavity type.
- the resin material is ejected from the device 38.
- the second layer 25 is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the intermediate molded body 20A, and the preform 20 is manufactured.
- a core mold (second injection core mold) that follows the inner surface shape of the intermediate molded body 20A. (Not shown) is inserted into the intermediate molded body 20A.

- the transfer plate of the transfer mechanism 36 moves by a predetermined angle, and the preform 20 held by the neck mold 36a contains the heat retained during injection molding. Is conveyed to the temperature adjusting unit 33.
- Step S103 Temperature adjustment step
- the temperature is adjusted so that the temperature of the preform 20 approaches the temperature suitable for the final blow.
- the preform 20 is housed in the heating pot 41 (or the temperature adjusting cavity type), and the temperature adjusting rod 43 is inserted into the preform 20.
- the temperature of the body 21 of the preform 20 is adjusted by receiving the heating of the heating pot 41 facing the body 21. Since the main body 43a of the temperature adjusting rod 43 does not come into contact with the first layer 24, it does not significantly affect the temperature adjusting of the first layer 24.
- the bottom portion 22 of the preform 20 may be brought into contact with the temperature control pot 42 for cooling.
- the first layer 24 comes into contact with the injection molds of the first injection molding portion 31 and the second injection molding portion 32 twice to reduce the amount of heat. Therefore, the body portion 21 can be replenished with the amount of heat required for shaping (blow molding) by being heated by the first mold (heating pot 41).
- the pressing portion 43b of the temperature adjusting rod 43 is in close contact (contact) with the tapered region 24a of the first layer 24, and heat exchange is performed between the pressing portion 43b and the tapered region 24a. Further, when the temperature adjusting rod 43 is pushed downward in this state, the bottom portion 22 of the preform 20 is pressed against the temperature adjusting pot 42. Then, the bottom portion 22 of the preform 20 is sandwiched between the temperature adjusting pot 42 and the temperature adjusting rod 43 and is contact-cooled.
- the bottom portion 22 and the tapered region 24a of the preform 20 are adjusted to a lower temperature than the body portion 21. That is, the body portion 21 of the preform 20 is in a state of having a large holding heat, and the bottom portion 22 of the preform 20 and the tapered region 24a are in a state of having a small holding heat.
- the heating pot 41 and the temperature control pot 42 may be raised to accommodate the preform 20 in the above pot.
- the transfer plate of the transfer mechanism 36 moves by a predetermined angle, and the temperature-adjusted preform 20 held in the neck mold 36a is transferred to the blow molding unit 34.
- Step S104 Blow molding step
- the blow molding unit 34 performs blow molding of the container 10.
- the blow cavity mold is closed, the preform 20 is accommodated in the mold space, and the air introduction member (blow core) is lowered, so that the air introduction member is brought into contact with the neck portion 23 of the preform 20.
- the stretching rod vertical length stretching member
- the stretching rod vertical length stretching member
- the preform 20 is swelled and shaped so as to be in close contact with the blow cavity type mold space, and is blow molded into the container 10.
- the bottom mold waits at a lower position where it does not come into contact with the bottom 22 of the preform 20 before the blow cavity mold is closed, and quickly rises to the molding position before or after the mold is closed.
- the body portion 21 of the preform 20 facing the heating pot 41 is in a state of holding a large amount of heat, while the bottom portion 22 and the taper region 24a of the preform 20 contact-cooled by the temperature control pot 42 are held.
- the heat is low. That is, in the preform 20, the body portion 21 having a large amount of internal heat is more easily deformed than the bottom portion 22.
- the body portion 21 having a large internal heat quantity is stretched first, and the bottom portion 22 having a small internal heat quantity is stretched later.
- the bottom portion 22 of the preform 20 is less likely to be stretched, so that the bottom portion 14 of the container 10 shaped by blow molding can be made thicker.
- a tapered region 24a is formed in which the wall thickness of the first layer 24 increases toward the bottom 22. Since the taper region 24a is contact-cooled by the temperature control rod 43 and the taper region 24a is also cooled from the outside by the temperature control pot 42, the holding heat is smaller than that of the body portion 21 and it is difficult to be deformed. Therefore, during blow molding, the resin for the tapered region 24a remains on the bottom 14 of the container 10, and as shown in FIG. 1 (c), the outer edge 14b on the inner surface of the bottom of the container 10 becomes thicker than the central 14a. ..
- the dent of the outer edge 14b corresponding to the diagonal region can be reliably suppressed in the inner surface shape of the bottom of the container. That is, since the decrease in wall thickness due to sink marks or stretching from the inner edge portion 14a to the outer edge portion 14b on the inner surface of the container bottom is suppressed, the inner surface shape of the container bottom can be formed flat.
- Step S105 Container removal step
- the blow cavity mold is opened.
- the container 10 can be moved from the blow molding unit 34.
- the transfer plate of the transfer mechanism 36 moves by a predetermined angle, and the container 10 is transferred to the take-out unit 35.
- the neck portion 12 of the container 10 is released from the neck mold 36a, and the container 10 is taken out to the outside of the blow molding apparatus 30.
- each of the above steps S101 to S105 is repeated.
- at least five sets of containers having a time difference of one step are manufactured in parallel.
- each time of the first injection molding step, the second injection molding step, the temperature adjusting step, the blow molding step, and the container taking-out step has the same length.
- the transport time between each process is the same length.
- the intermediate molded body 20A corresponding to the first layer 24 of the preform 20 is injection-molded in the first injection molding step, and is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the intermediate molded body 20A in the second injection molding step.
- the second layer 25 is injection molded to produce a multilayer preform 20.
- the preform 20 is blow-molded to produce a container 10 having a thickness t2 at the bottom of the container that is thicker than the wall thickness t1 at the bottom of the container.
- the thick preform 20 is manufactured in two injection molding steps. Therefore, the injection molding time of each of the first injection molding step and the second injection molding step is shorter than the injection molding time when the thick preform is molded in one injection molding step. As a result, the injection molding time of the preform, which is the rate-determining step, is shortened, so that the molding cycle when manufacturing a thick-walled container 10 suitable for a cosmetic container or the like can be shortened.
- the first injection molding step is compared with the case where the thick-walled preform is molded in one injection molding step.
- the preform to be injected in the second injection molding step can be thinned, and the difficulty of molding is also reduced. That is, in the present embodiment, the cooling and holding pressure treatment can be sufficiently applied to the bottom portion which is relatively thick in the preform. Therefore, since the bottom portion of the preform, which is relatively thicker than the body portion and the like, can be sufficiently cooled, the generation of sink marks and bubbles can be suppressed, and the quality of the container 10 can be improved. Further, the cooling in the mold in the first injection molding step and the second injection molding step makes it difficult for whitening (crystallization) due to insufficient cooling to occur, so that the quality of the container 10 can be improved.
- the core layer (inner layer) tends to be insufficiently cooled, but the preform 20 and the container 10 in the present embodiment have the first layer 24 and the second layer 25. ..
- the core layer is divided by the entire preform 20. Then, the core layer of the first layer 24 is cooled by the first injection cavity type or the like. As a result, whitening can be suppressed even with cooling for a shorter time than before.
- the thick preform 20 is manufactured in two injection molding steps, parameters such as cooling time can be adjusted separately for the inner layer and the outer layer. Therefore, the amount of heat on the outer layer side is easier to adjust and the amount of heat is more likely to remain on the second layer side, which is the outside of the preform 20, as compared with the case where the thick preform is molded in one injection molding step. As a result, it becomes easy to clearly shape the corners of the container body and the edges of the ridges by blow molding, and the quality of the container 10 can be improved.
- a tapered region 24a in which the wall thickness of the first layer 24 increases toward the bottom portion 22 is formed in the vicinity of the bottom portion of the preform 20. Therefore, at the time of blow molding, the resin corresponding to the tapered region 24a remains on the bottom portion 14 of the container 10, so that the outer edge portion 14b on the inner surface of the bottom portion of the container 10 can be made thicker than the central portion 14a. In such a container 10, when the remaining amount of the content liquid is small, the content liquid is less likely to remain on the outer edge portion 14b on the inner surface of the bottom, and the content liquid can be easily used up to the end.
- the bottom portion 22 of the preform 20 and the tapered region 24a are contact-cooled with a mold to reduce the retained heat as compared with the body portion 21 of the preform 20.
- the body portion 21 having a large internal heat quantity is stretched in advance
- the bottom portion 22 having a small internal heat quantity and the tapered region 24a are stretched with a delay, and it becomes easier to form the bottom portion 14 of the container 10 into a desired shape.
- the thick preform 20 is manufactured in two injection molding steps, the material of the first layer 24 on the inner peripheral side of the preform 20 and the material of the second layer 25 on the outer peripheral side are used.
- the composition can also be different. As a result, it is possible to suppress the manufacturing cost of the container 10 and to manufacture the container 10 having a high design.
- the manufacturing cost can be reduced by suppressing the addition amount of the coloring material in the first layer 24 or the second layer 25.
- the coloring material may be added only to the material of the first layer 24.
- the design of the container 10 may be improved by changing the color and the pattern of the pattern between the first layer 24 and the second layer 25.
- the refractive index may be different between the first layer 24 and the second layer 25 so that light scattering due to internal reflection occurs at the interface between the first layer 24 and the second layer 25.
- the container manufactured by the manufacturing method of the present invention is not limited to a square container having a quadrangular cross section as in the above embodiment.

Abstract
Description
第1に、厚肉のプリフォームの白化を抑制するために射出成形時に十分な冷却を行うと、プリフォームから賦形に必要な熱量(保有熱)も奪われてしまう。厚肉のプリフォームはスキン層(表面層)も厚く(固く)形成されるため、温度調整部で再加熱してもプリフォームの熱量が不足しうる。厚底の容器はプリフォームの底部が厚肉なため、底部を射出成形時に十分に冷却しようとすると相対的に薄肉である胴部は過度に冷却される。すると、胴部ではスキン層の比率が大きくなり熱量が著しく低下してしまう。
実施形態では説明を分かり易くするため、本発明の主要部以外の構造や要素については、簡略化または省略して説明する。また、図面において、同じ要素には同じ符号を付す。なお、図面に示す各要素の形状、寸法などは模式的に示したもので、実際の形状、寸法などを示すものではない。
まず、図1を参照して、本実施形態に係る樹脂製容器(以下、単に容器とも称する)10の構成例を説明する。
図1(a)は、本実施形態の容器10の正面図であり、図1(b)は、図1(a)のIb-Ib線断面図であり、図1(c)は、本実施形態の容器10の縦断面図である。
図2は、本実施形態の容器10の製造に適用されるプリフォーム20の例を示す。
図2(a)は、プリフォーム20の縦断面図であり、図2(b)は、プリフォーム20の中間成形体20Aの縦断面図である。
このように、第1層24にテーパー領域24aを形成することで、プリフォーム20において、容器10の底部内面の外縁部14bに対応する部位が厚肉になる。
図3は、本実施形態のブロー成形装置30の構成を模式的に示す図である。ブロー成形装置30は、容器の製造装置の一例であって、プリフォーム20を室温まで冷却せずに射出成形時の保有熱(内部熱量)を活用して容器をブロー成形するホットパリソン方式(1ステージ方式とも称する)を採用する。
搬送機構36は、図3の紙面垂直方向の軸を中心とする回転方向に移動する移送板(不図示)を備える。移送板は、単一の円盤状の平板部材または成形ステーションごとに分割された複数の略扇状の平板部材から構成される。移送板には、プリフォーム20の首部23(または容器10の首部12)を保持するネック型36a(図3では不図示)が、所定角度ごとにそれぞれ1以上配置されている。
第1射出成形部31は、それぞれ図示を省略する射出キャビティ型(第1の射出キャビティ型)、射出コア型(第1の射出コア型)を備え、図2(b)に示すプリフォーム20の中間成形体20Aを製造する。第1射出成形部31には、プリフォーム20の第1層24の原材料(樹脂材料、合成樹脂)を供給する第1射出装置37が接続されている。
第2射出成形部32は、図示を省略する射出キャビティ型を備え、中間成形体20Aの外周部に第2層25を射出成形する。第2射出成形部32には、プリフォーム20の第2層25の原材料(樹脂材料)を供給する第2射出装置38が接続されている。
温度調整部33は、第2射出成形部32から搬送されるプリフォーム20の均温化や偏温除去、さらには温度分布の調整を行い、プリフォーム20の温度を最終ブローに適した温度(例えば約90℃~105℃)に調整する。また、温度調整部33は、射出成形後の高温状態のプリフォーム20を冷却する機能も担う。
ブロー成形部34は、温度調整部33で温度調整されたプリフォーム20に対してブロー成形を行い、容器10を製造する。
ブロー成形部34は、容器10の形状に対応した一対の割型であるブローキャビティ型と、底型と、延伸ロッドおよびエア導入部材(いずれも不図示)を備える。ブロー成形部34は、プリフォーム20を延伸しながらブロー成形する。これにより、プリフォーム20がブローキャビティ型の形状に賦形されて容器10を製造することができる。
取り出し部35は、ブロー成形部34で製造された容器10の首部12をネック型36aから開放し、容器10をブロー成形装置30の外部へ取り出すように構成されている。
次に、本実施形態のブロー成形装置30による容器の製造方法について説明する。図5は、容器の製造方法の工程を示すフローチャートである。
まず、第1射出成形部31において、射出キャビティ型(第1の射出キャビティ型)、先端側にテーパー部を有する射出コア型(第1の射出コア型)および搬送機構36のネック型36aで形成された中間成形体20Aの型空間に第1射出装置37から樹脂材料を射出し、プリフォーム20の第1層24に相当する中間成形体20Aが製造される。
図2(b)に示すように、中間成形体20Aの内周側には、胴部21の肉厚が底部22に向けて増加してゆくテーパー領域24aが形成されている。
続いて、第2射出成形部32において、射出キャビティ型(第2の射出キャビティ型)の内部に中間成形体20Aを収容した後、中間成形体20Aの外周と射出キャビティ型の間に第2射出装置38から樹脂材料が射出される。これにより、中間成形体20Aの外周部に第2層25が形成され、プリフォーム20が製造される。
続いて、温度調整部33において、プリフォーム20の温度を最終ブローに適した温度に近づけるための温度調整が行われる。
温度調整部33では、プリフォーム20が加熱ポット41(または温度調整用キャビティ型)内に収容され、プリフォーム20には温度調整ロッド43が挿入される。プリフォーム20の胴部21は、胴部21に臨む加熱ポット41の加熱を受けて温度調整される。なお、温度調整ロッド43の本体部43aは、第1層24とは接触しないので第1層24の温度調整に大きな影響を与えない。なお、加熱ポット41内にプリフォーム20を収容した際、プリフォーム20の底部22を温度調整ポット42に接触させて冷却してもよい。
続いて、ブロー成形部34において、容器10のブロー成形が行われる。
まず、ブローキャビティ型を型閉じしてプリフォーム20を型空間に収容し、エア導入部材(ブローコア)を下降させることで、プリフォーム20の首部23にエア導入部材が当接される。そして、延伸ロッド(縦軸延伸部材)を降下させてプリフォーム20の底部22を内面から抑えて、必要に応じて縦軸延伸を行いつつ、エア導入部材からブローエアを供給することで、プリフォーム20を横軸延伸する。これにより、プリフォーム20は、ブローキャビティ型の型空間に密着するように膨出して賦形され、容器10にブロー成形される。なお、底型は、ブローキャビティ型の型閉じ前はプリフォーム20の底部22と接触しない下方の位置で待機し、型閉前または型閉後に成形位置まで素早く上昇する。
ブロー成形が終了すると、ブローキャビティ型が型開きされる。これにより、ブロー成形部34から容器10が移動可能となる。
続いて、搬送機構36の移送板が所定角度分移動し、容器10が取り出し部35に搬送される。取り出し部35において、容器10の首部12がネック型36aから開放され、容器10がブロー成形装置30の外部へ取り出される。
また、ブロー成形装置30の構造上、第1射出成形工程、第2射出成形工程、温度調整工程、ブロー成形工程および容器取り出し工程の各時間はそれぞれ同じ長さになる。同様に、各工程間の搬送時間もそれぞれ同じ長さになる。
また、第1層24と第2層25とで色彩や模様のパターンを変化させて容器10の意匠性を向上させてもよい。また、第1層24と第2層25で屈折率に差を生じさせて、第1層24と第2層25の界面で内部反射による光の散乱が生じるようにしてもよい。
