- the streak-shaped first region 19 extending from the corresponding position of the protrusion 44 can be formed as in the above embodiment.
- a high-strength portion 26 similar to the second layer 12 of the above-mentioned peeling container 20 can be formed even in a single-layer container.
- the high-strength portion 26 of the peeling container 20 of the above embodiment may be partially formed on the bottom 23 of the container (or from the bottom 23 of the container to the lower region of the body 22).
- the high-strength portion 26 may not be formed in the upper region of the body portion 22 of the container (such as the shoulder portion 22a of the container).
- the easily deformable portion 27 is divided in the circumferential direction by the high-strength portion 26 on the bottom side of the container, while the second layer 12 is entirely in the upper region of the body portion 22 of the container without the high-strength portion 26. It becomes the easily deformed portion 27 over the circumference.
- the first region 19 formed in the second layer 12 of the preform 10 is also partially formed from the bottom side toward the body portion, and is not formed on the neck side.

Abstract
Description
まず、図1を参照して、本実施形態に係る剥離容器用のプリフォームの構成例を説明する。図1(a)は本実施形態のプリフォーム10の縦断面図であり、図1(b)はプリフォーム10の底面図である。
第1の樹脂材料と第2の樹脂材料の組み合わせは、剥離容器の仕様に応じて適宜選択できる。具体的な材料の種類としては、例えば、PET(ポリエチレンテレフタレート)、PEN(ポリエチレンナフタレート)、PCTA(ポリシクロヘキサンジメチレンテレフタレート)、Tritan(トライタン(登録商標):イーストマンケミカル社製のコポリエステル)、PP(ポリプロピレン)、PE(ポリエチレン)、PC(ポリカーボネート)、PES(ポリエーテルスルホン)、PPSU(ポリフェニルスルホン)、PS(ポリスチレン)、COP/COC(環状オレフィン系ポリマー)、PMMA(ポリメタクリル酸メチル:アクリル)、PLA(ポリ乳酸)などが挙げられる。
なお、第2層12における第1領域19は、目視では第2領域と外観上区別しにくいが、例えば光弾性法による歪計測などの手法で識別が可能である。
次に、図2、図3、図4を参照して、本実施形態に係る樹脂製の剥離容器20の構成例を説明する。図2(a)、(b)は、本実施形態の剥離容器20の正面図および底面図である。図3は、本実施形態の剥離容器20の縦断面図である。また、図4は、内層が収縮した状態の剥離容器20の一例を示す底面近傍の横断面図である。
図5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。本実施形態のブロー成形装置30は、剥離容器20の製造装置の一例であって、プリフォーム10を室温まで冷却せずに射出成形時の保有熱(内部熱量)を活用して剥離容器20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5の紙面垂直方向の軸を中心に回転するように移動する移送板(不図示)を備える。移送板には、プリフォーム10の首部13(または剥離容器20の首部21)を保持するネック型36a(図5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。搬送機構36は、移送板を所定角度分ずつ移動させることで、ネック型36aで保持されたプリフォーム10(または剥離容器20)を、第1射出成形部31、第2射出成形部32、温度調整部33、ブロー成形部34、取り出し部35の順に搬送する。なお、搬送機構36は、移送板を昇降させることもでき、第1射出成形部31や第2射出成形部32における型閉じや型開き(離型)に係る動作も行う。
第1射出成形部31は、キャビティ型40、コア型41、ホットランナー型42を備え、プリフォーム10の第1層11を製造する。キャビティ型40は、開口側(上方側)の第1のキャビティ型40Aと底面側(下方側)の第2のキャビティ型40Bから構成される。第1射出成形部31には、ホットランナー型42に第1の樹脂材料を供給する第1射出装置37が接続されている。キャビティ型40とホットランナー型42は、一体化した状態で、ブロー成形装置30の機台に固定されている。コア型41は、コア型昇降機構に固定されている。
第2射出成形部32は、キャビティ型50、コア型51、ホットランナー型52を備え、第1層11の内周側に第2層12を射出成形する。キャビティ型50は、開口側(上方側)の第1のキャビティ型50Aと底面側(下方側)の第2のキャビティ型50Bから構成される。第2射出成形部32には、ホットランナー型52に第2の樹脂材料を供給する第2射出装置38が接続されている。なお、第1のキャビティ型50Aと第2のキャビティ型50Bは、一体的に形成されていてもよい。
なお、特に限定するものではないが、第1の突起部44の突出量h1と第2の突起部54の突出量h2との差(第1層からの第2の突起部54の突出量)は、プリフォーム10の底部厚さの1/4以下から1/5以下とすることが好ましい。
温度調整部33は、図示しない温度調整用の金型ユニット(温調ポットや温調コア)を備える。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10を所定温度に保たれた金型ユニットに収容することで均温化や偏温除去を行い、プリフォーム10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10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10に対してブロー成形を行い、剥離容器20を製造する。
ブロー成形部34は、剥離容器20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10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10がブローキャビティ型の形状に賦形されて剥離容器20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で製造された剥離容器20の首部21をネック型36aから開放し、剥離容器20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による剥離容器20の製造方法について説明する。図9は、剥離容器20の製造方法の工程を示すフローチャートである。
まず、図6(a)に示すように、第1射出成形部31において、キャビティ型40、コア型41と、ネック型36aで形成された型空間に第1射出装置37から第1の樹脂材料が射出され、プリフォーム10の第1層11が成形される。このとき、図7に示すように、第1の突起部44により、第1層11の底部には凹部11aが形成される。
続いて、第2射出成形部32にプリフォーム10の第1層11が収容され、第2層12の射出成形が行われる。
その後、第2射出成形部32が型開きされると、搬送機構36の移送板が所定角度分回転するように移動し、回転板が所定角度回転し、ネック型36aに保持されたプリフォーム10が、射出成形時の保有熱を含んだ状態で温度調整部33に搬送される。
続いて、温度調整部33において、温度調整用の金型ユニットにプリフォーム10が収容され、プリフォーム10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。その後、搬送機構36の移送板が所定角度分回転するように移動し、ネック型36aに保持された温度調整後のプリフォーム10が、ブロー成形部34に搬送される。
続いて、ブロー成形部34において、剥離容器20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10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10の首部13にエア導入部材が当接される。そして、延伸ロッドを降下させてプリフォーム10の底部15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10を横軸延伸する。これにより、プリフォーム10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、剥離容器20にブロー成形される。
なお、ブロー成形の際には、プリフォーム10の第1領域19が延伸されることで剥離容器20の第2層12には、筋状の高強度部26が形成される。
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から剥離容器20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回転するように移動し、剥離容器20が取り出し部35に搬送される。取り出し部35において、剥離容器20の首部21がネック型36aから開放され、剥離容器20がブロー成形装置30の外部へ取り出される。
本実施形態では、第1射出成形工程でプリフォーム10の第1層11(外層)を成形し、第2射出成形工程で第1層11の開口部16から第1層11の内側に第2層12(内層)を射出成形して二層構造のプリフォーム10が製造される。本実施形態によれば、融点の高い樹脂材料で外層を先に形成し、その後に外層よりも融点の低い樹脂材料で内層を形成できる。つまり、外層が射出成形時の保有熱を有する状態のまま内層の射出成形を連続的に行って、剥離容器20の仕様に適した二層構造のプリフォーム10を製造できる。本実施形態では、外層および内層がいずれも射出成形時の保有熱を有する状態で二層構造のプリフォーム10が離型されるので、ホットパリソン式のブロー成形法で剥離容器20を製造するときに好適なプリフォーム10を得ることができる。
例えば、図10に示すように、射出成形部の第2のキャビティ型40Bの底部において、コア型41とは接触しない高さの突起部44を周方向に部分的に形成する。図10の場合、周方向の全域で樹脂はコア型41と第2のキャビティ型40Bに接触するが、突起部44を通過する部分では樹脂の流速が速くなる。これにより、プリフォーム10Aの突起部44に対応する位置では、上述のように樹脂の配向に指向性を持たせることができる。
