In recent years, the heat resistance, physical strength, and
Attempts have been made to produce molded products with excellent properties such as gas barrier properties. In the past, it was common practice to form a stretched sheet that had already been stretched in a process separate from stretching, but since stretched sheets of crystalline plastic were difficult to mold, it was difficult to form a molded product with the desired characteristics. For this purpose, it is desirable to be able to adjust the physical properties of the stretched sheet in accordance with the molding conditions, but this is difficult when stretching and molding are separate processes.

On the other hand, it has been considered to stretch a long unstretched sheet using a continuous stretching device equipped with a mechanism such as a stretching roll or a tenter, and immediately connect a forming device to perform the stretching and forming process in an integrated process. However, since the stretching process is a continuous motion and the forming device is an intermittent motion, in order to synchronize the movements of the two, the long sheet is transported via a dancer roll placed in the middle, or the forming device itself is moved to a long sheet. It is necessary to configure the apparatus so that it can be molded while moving it in accordance with the continuous progress of the sheet, making the entire apparatus extremely large and expensive. Furthermore, since the stretching speed of the continuous stretching device is basically much higher than the forming speed of the molding machine, there is a problem that the full capacity of the stretching device cannot be fully utilized when both are integrated processes.

The inventors of the present invention investigated how to solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, they stretched single-fed sheets instead of long sheets using a batch-type stretching device, and moved the stretching device itself into a forming device to bring the sheet to the forming position. The present invention was developed by discovering that stretching and forming can be rationally combined into an integrated process by setting the plastic sheet in a single sheet. This method of forming a plastic sheet is characterized in that the sheet is placed on a predetermined forming apparatus by moving the holding frame into the forming apparatus while the plastic sheet is held in place, and then the stretched sheet is formed.

1 and 2, a stretching frame 2 outside the forming apparatus 3 surrounds a single unstretched sheet 1.
It is gripped by a roller and heated to a stretching temperature by a heater 4. Then, while stretching the unstretched sheet 1, the stretching frame 2 itself is moved on the conveyor rail 5, carried into the forming apparatus 3, and stopped at the state 2'. After the sheet 1' has been stretched and placed in the molding position, the mold 6 is lowered and the sheet 1 is clamped and fixed between the pneumatic chamber 7 and pneumatically formed.

The present invention can be applied to any sheet that can be stretched and molded, but sheets made of crystalline plastics such as polyester and polypropylene can be stretched and then molded to produce molded products with extremely excellent heat resistance. Since it can be obtained, it can be applied particularly preferably.

The stretching frame 2 may be of any structure as long as it can stretch a single unstretched sheet and transport the sheet to the forming position by moving it into the forming apparatus, but for example, as shown in FIG. A pair of movable arms 9, 9' are moved by the cylinder 10 with respect to a pair of fixed arms 8, 8', and accordingly, the pantograph 12 equipped with a large number of clips 11 is extended, and the interval between the clips 11 is expanded. However, the device of the type that stretches the unstretched sheet 1 held around the periphery by clips has a simple structure, so the device itself can be easily moved, and the stretching ratio and stretching speed can be easily adjusted to match the molding conditions. Therefore, it is preferable. The stretching frame 2 holding the sheet 1 is equipped with wheels and can be moved into the forming apparatus 3 on the conveyor rail 5 by an air cylinder 13. When feeding the unstretched sheet 1 to the stretching frame 2, it may be automatically carried out using a feeding device 14 equipped with a sheet suction mechanism. It is preferable to heat the sheet to the stretching temperature so that it can be stretched immediately after being supplied. Further, the sheet 1 may be stretched before or after the stretching frame is moved, or while the stretching frame is being moved, but it is preferable to stretch the sheet 1 at the same time while the stretching frame is being moved, since it minimizes time loss.

Next, when the stretched sheet 1 is placed in a predetermined molding position, it is not only clamped between the mold 6 and the compressed air chamber 7 as shown in Fig. 1, but also fixed using a separately provided clamping device. In short, the periphery of the sheet 1 may be fixed to prevent the sheet 1 from being drawn into the interior and wrinkled during molding. As a result, it is no longer necessary to hold the stretching frame during forming, so the stretching frame at the 2' position can be returned to the original 2 positions and preparations for receiving the unstretched sheet can be made without waiting for the completion of the forming process. . In this case, if the movable arm 9 of the stretching frame 2' is movable together with the cylinder and pantograph from position a to position b as shown in FIG. This is preferable because it allows you to return to .

In addition, as the forming device 3, in addition to an air pressure forming machine, a vacuum forming machine, a press forming machine, etc. are used. In particular, since the tensile strength of crystalline plastic sheets increases when they are stretched, air forming machines and press forming machines with high forming pressure are used. preferable. Here, in order to heat the sheet to the forming temperature, the heater 4 is used to heat the sheet for stretching, but heating may be performed using a separate heating device (not shown) if desired.

Next, any suitable means can be used to take out the sheet 1 formed in this way from the forming apparatus 3, but for example, as shown in FIGS. A movable unloading machine 16 is equipped with clips, a vacuum suction device, etc., and after molding is completed and the mold 6 has been raised, the unloading machine 16 is moved into the molding apparatus 3, and the stretching frame 2 is fixed with a clip or the like. It is possible to grip the periphery of the sheet 1 that was being gripped by the gripper, return it to its original position, and stack it on the product holder 17.
