摘要:
The vertically reciprocable eject head at the finished article eject station of a molding machine has a row of cylindrical eject cores that project downwardly from the head during operation. From time-to-time, the eject cores must be replaced with a different set of cores having a different spacing and number. A universal mounting plate forming part of the quick change apparatus of the eject head has an elongated through slot extending longitudinally along the length of the universal plate that receives the eject cores but does not establish their position. One or more adaptor plates detachably fastened to the bottom side of the universal plate has a row of holes therein that register with the receiving slot of the mounting plate so as to establish the number and location of eject cores that can be carried by the eject head.

A rotary blow molding machine comprising a rotatable wheel, a plurality of mold assemblies mounted on the wheel in circumferentially spaced apart relation, each of said mold assemblies being openable to expose a finished workpiece as the mold assembly moves through a workpiece discharge station. A take-out assembly removes a finished workpiece from a mold assembly as the mold assembly moves through said discharge station, the take-out assembly including a first transfer mechanism mounted adjacent said discharge station and including a first pick-up unit for grasping a finished workpiece and moving it in a substantially linear direction upwardly away from said wheel to a transfer station. A second rotary transfer mechanism is mounted at the transfer station for receiving a workpiece from the first pick-up unit and moving the workpiece to an exit station as the first pick-up unit returns to the discharge station to pick up another finished workpiece from the wheel.

The invention relates to a machine for blow-molding thermoplastic products. This type of machine has a molding unit comprising two mobile supports (12), which are hinged in relation to each other and which are controlled by a mechanism comprising a traveling slide (16), between an open position and a closed position. Each support (12) is connected to the slide (12) by at least one associated connecting link (36). The inventive blow-molding machine is characterized in that in its closed position, the main axes of the connecting links (36) are oriented in the same direction, perpendicular to the hinge axis (A1), in such a way that the control mechanism can cause the molding unit to be locked in this closed position.
摘要:
A blow molding apparatus comprising a wheel mounted rotationally on a base for rotating a plurality of molds past an extrusion die. The wheel is comprised of a hub mounted to a rotational shaft and a plurality of disk segments mounted about the hub to carry the plurality of molds. The disk segments may be individually selectively secured to the hub to facilitate simple replacement of disk segments.

A system and method for detecting and rejecting defective blow molded containers is provided. The invention includes a sound detector system for sensing the sound level from a mold during the blowing process, and outputting a sound level signal. If the sound level signal exceeds a predetermined set point, thereby indicating a discontinuous container, a kick mechanism rejects the defective container. The kick mechanism is sequenced with the sound detector system. A proximity switch may be employed to indicate the mold being in position in front of the sound detector.

Apparatus for blow molding hollow plastic bodies (7) comprising a plurality of pairs of mutually joinable half-molds (2, 4) capable of being opened and closed, associated to an appropriate rotary apparatus (10) carrying said half-molds (2, 4), a retrieval device adapted to remove the finished container (7) from the respective pair of half-molds (2) after the opening thereof, an opening and closing mechanism adapted to close the half-molds (2, 4) after the passage thereof through the position of the preform feeding mechanism, and to open them before the passage thereof through the position of the finished-container removal mechanism, in which said pairs of half-molds (2, 4) are constituted by a fixed half-mold (2) and a moving half-mold (4) that is capable of being opened from and closed against said fixed half-mold (2). In a preferred manner, said fixed half-molds (2) are linked to said rotary apparatus (10) and are arranged in a substantially vertical position, with the respective moving half-mold (4) adapted to be closed by accomplishing a substantially rotary movement about a horizontal axis of rotation.

A system for monitoring a stretch blow mold machine includes devices for monitoring the position of a stretch rod with respect to a mold, an air pressure sensor for monitoring air pressure introduced through the stretch rod, and a sensor for monitoring temperature of fluid within a fluid cavity for chilling the mold. The system includes a display for monitoring position data, pressure data, and temperature data generated by the respective sensors.
摘要:
Wheel molding apparatus for molding thermoplastic containers or other articles, the apparatus having a multiplicity of sets (10) of opposed, separable radially aligned mold halves (12, 14) that travel in a circular path about a horizontal axis. The inner of the mold halves (14) is separated from the outer of the mold halves (12) at the 12:00 o'clock position of the mold set that includes such mold halves to permit the molded article to be ejected from the mold set. However, the ejection of the molded article should not take place until after the separation of the mold halves, and this requires that the molded article be positively retained within the outer mold half until it is desired to eject the article therefrom. This is accomplished by translation of a translatable pin (16) within a passage (18) of the outer mold half, the translatable pin having an undercut (20) near an end thereof that extends into the article, and preferably into a portion of excess material thereof, and forms an interference fit with the article at an outermost position of the translatable pin, to which the pin is resiliently biased by a spring (22). Ejection of the article is obtained by engaging an exterior free end of the pin by a cam (24) to move the pin against the biasing effect of the spring to a second position at which there will be no interfering relationship between the pin and the article and the pin will then positively eject the article from the outer mold half.
