There is also a blow molding machine which includes the blow mold unit.
Abstract:
The outer circumferential surface of a bottom 4 of a preform 1 and a lower site 3a of a trunk 3 continuous with the bottom 4 is mechanically brought into intimate contact with a cooling pot 16 to undergo reliable cooling. The trunk 3, excluding the lower site 3a of the trunk 3 continuous with the bottom 4, is heated to a predetermined temperature by a heating block 17. When blow-molded, the so treated preform 1 can provide a container having a bottom of a desired thickness and having a uniformly stretched thin-walled trunk.
Abstract:
A resin container of the invention is the resin container capable of storing a predetermined amount of fluid having flexibility, the resin container including a first surface part formed with an inlet/outlet part for the fluid, a second surface part connected to the first surface part and forming a peripheral surface, and a third surface part arranged at an opposite side of the first surface part and connected to the second surface part, wherein the first surface part is formed with a first recess recessed from the first surface part toward a third surface part side, and the second surface part is formed with a second recess recessed toward the center of the container from the first surface part to the third surface part.
Abstract:
An apparatus for molding a handle-equipped container is provided. The apparatus has a gripping mechanism section 160a which comprises a first gripping member 161 having a pair of first chuck members 163 for grasping a preform 200, and a second gripping member 162 having a pair of second chuck members 167 for grasping a container handle 20 in association with the action of the first gripping member 161. The apparatus can simultaneously grasp a plurality of the preforms 200 and a plurality of the container handles 20 and reliably transport them to a blow molding section.
Abstract:
In the process of closing a blow cavity split mold 14, a roller 32 is allowed to directly contact a bottom surface 38 of a guide block 36 and roll thereon. Thus, the mold clamping movement of the blow cavity split mold 14 is guided, without clearance from the guide block 36. Consequently, the upward movement of the blow cavity split mold 14 is regulated.
Abstract:
A blow mold unit in which, when clamping first and second blow cavity split molds which are fixed to first and second fixing plates and bottom molds which are fixed to a bottom mold fixing plate, pressure receiving members fixed to the first and second fixing plates are brought into engagement with the bottom plate fixing plate. Guide plates are fixed to the bottom mold fixing plate, and guided members capable of being brought into abutment with the guide plates are supported by first and second pressure receiving plates. The bottom mold fixing plate includes a first connecting portion to be connected to a bottom mold opening/closing unit and a second connecting portion to be connected to a moving and biasing member.
Abstract:
An apparatus for forming a handle-equipped container comprises: a transport section 150 provided with a transport line 151, the transport line 151 alternately transporting a first transport jig 152 holding a preform, and a second transport jig 153 holding a container handle 20, the transport section 150 transporting the preform 200 and the container handle 20 to a blow molding section 140 along the transport line 151; and a supply section 160 for lowering the container handle 20, held in an inverted state, and supplying the container handle 20 to the second transport jig 153. The second transport jig 153 supports at least a pair of opposite side surfaces of the container handle 20.
Abstract:
A preform 20 for a large container, used for producing a large container which is made of a polyethylene terephthalate resin and which is formed by stretch blow molding, is formed by injecting molding to have a wall thickness of 6 mm to 9 mm and have a longitudinal axis length longer than that of the large container which is a final molded product.
Abstract:
The blow molding device includes a heating section that continuously transfers and heats preforms that respectively include a neck along a heating transfer path while supporting the preforms using transfer members in an inverted state, a blow molding section that simultaneously blow-molds N (N is an integer equal to or larger than 2) preforms that have been heated by the heating section in an upright state to form N containers, and an intermittent transfer section that intermittently transfers the N preforms from the heating section to the blow molding section. The intermittent transfer section includes a pitch conversion section that converts the arrangement pitch of the N preforms from a first pitch P1 to a second pitch P2 (P2>P1), and an inversion section that includes N inversion arms that respectively invert the N preforms from the inverted state to the upright state.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a molded product delivery apparatus or a blow molding machine includes a first transfer member that includes first paired chucks that hold a portion of an outer wall of a neck portion of a molded product, and a second transfer member that includes second paired chucks that hold another portion of the outer wall of the neck portion of the molded product. From a state where the molded product is held by both of the first paired chucks and the second paired chucks simultaneously, by opening one of the first paired chucks and the second paired chucks without interfering with the other, the molded product is delivered between the first paired chucks and the second paired chucks.
