摘要:
The present invention relates to mold cooling method and system for a glass container forming machine that includes at least one mold holder including mold halves that are movable between a closed mold position for forming the glass article and an open mold position for releasing said article, each of the mold halves having axial passages for cooling each of the mold halves. A support structure having a fixed upper support section and a movable support section. Means for providing a cooling flow are coupled in coincidence with a series of openings in the movable support section. A cooling flow distributor located above the movable support section, the cooling flow distributor having a lower section in coincidence with each of the openings of the movable support section for the passage of the cooling flow and, a upper section in coincidence with each of the axial passages of each of the halves of each mold, the cooling flow distributor being movable between the closed mold position and the open mold position.

An apparatus to sense temperature in a glassware forming machine. A mold body includes an exterior surface, a mold cavity having an interior mold surface, and a blind hole having a closed end including a closed end surface adjacent to and spaced outwardly from the interior mold surface, wherein the blind hole extends outwardly from the closed end surface toward the exterior surface. The mold body is removably carried on a mold hanger, and a light collector is carried by the mold hanger to collect infrared light emitted within the blind hole.

A mold is disclosed which has a vertical front face having a glass object surface defined therein and a stepped vertical rear surface. The upper portion of the rear surface projects outwardly from the lower portion of the rear surface. The lower rear surface includes the top surface of two vertically spaced pairs of “T”s.

A mold opening and closing mechanism includes an aligning mechanism which has a horizontal mounting plate including a number of vertical openings for the number of molds, that is supported by a pair of spaced vertical uprights secured to the section frame top surface. A plurality of aligning cylinders are located in the vertical openings in the horizontal mounting plate and move parallel with the mold holder motion. Each cylinder includes surfaces configured to mate with the clamping surfaces of the mold holders. The axis of one of the aligning cylinders is held but not clamped at the theoretical centerline so it can move to the actual centerline when the mold holders are located at the advanced clamped closed position. A position transducer is mounted parallel with the mold holder motion to sense movement of the axis of one of the aligning cylinders and a computer receiving positional data from the transducer compares the theoretical centerline with the actual centerline determined from the data and defines a displacement offset for the displacement program to align the mold holders to the theoretical centerline.

A mold carrier assembly for use with a support housing having a pair of parallel, spaced, horizontally extending bores and located on the top wall of a section frame of an I.S. machine. The quick change mold carrier assembly has a mold support mechanism including an insert for supporting at least one mold half which is mounted on a carrier. First and second parallel round shafts are secured at one end to the carrier with the round shafts extending horizontally in parallel relationship and each of the round shafts have a free end remote from the carrier for slidable insertion into the bores of the housing.

A plunger mechanism has a plunger canister module to be mounted on the top wall of a section frame of an I.S. machine. The module includes one, two, three or four plunger canisters each having a vertically extending cylinder having a locating diameter at the top and a mounting flange secured to the top of the vertically extending cylinder. The module also includes a horizontal mounting plate adapted to be mounted on the top wall of the section having a top surface and a number of holes, corresponding to the number of plunger canisters, extending vertically therethrough for matingly receiving the locating diameter of each of the plunger canisters.
摘要:
A mold locking system is provided for a glass molding machine. The machine has first and second mold hanger support arms for moving respectively first and second mold halves. The arms are pivotally cantilever-mounted at their ends for rotation about a vertical axis between a retracted station where the mold halves are separated and a forming station where the mold halves are brought into contact. The locking system includes a pressure system for exerting an upward force on the free ends of the support arms and includes surfaces configured to pressingly engage specially configured portions of the free arm ends so that operation of the pressure system forces the free ends towards each other to ensure closure of the mold, and to force the free ends up against a limit stop to terminate upward travel to compensate for sag and mounting system wear.

A holder for the mold halves of an IS machine for making hollow glass articles and parison or finished molds thereof, has an addition to the rockers allowing X-axis compensation for irregularities in the mold halves, a compensating device which affords compensation for irregularities with respect to a Y-axis and thus permits adjustment of the ends of the mold halves with respect to one another. The compensating device utilizes a vertical pin from which an arm projects to pivotally carry a vertical compensating lever whose upper and lower ends are pivotally connected to cover plates which, in turn, are connected to the respective mold half.

Mould side portions (10; 110; 210) of three moulds are supported by a mechanism arranged to equalize mould closure force between the three moulds. Three mould side portions are supported by a triple support (50, 52; 150, 152; 250; 350) centrally pivotally mounted. The opposed mould side portions are mounted two on a double support (32; 232; 332) which is pivoted on a pivot (24; 224; 324) aligned with a line passing centrally between the center mould and one of the other moulds and one on a single support (40, 42; 240; 340) which is pivoted on a pivot (26; 226; 326) aligned with the center-line of the other of said other moulds.

In the mould arrangement, an electrical temperature sensing device (TC1, TC2, TC3) is mounted on a mould portion (30; 70) and sends signals to control means of the arrangement. The control means is operable to read the signal from the sensing device (TC1, TC2, TC3) at a particular point in the cycle of operation of the machine, selected to occur when the mould portion (30; 70) is stationary, and to control a portion of the operation of the machine, e.g. the operation of the mould cooling means thereof, in accordance with a value of the signal.
