Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and a method for filling moulds for the moulding of objects made of plastic material and, in particular, a device and a method for filling a mould (or a number of moulding cavities for compression moulding of plastic materials, amongst which, in particular, PET, PS, PE, PP,
  • the invention may be applied, for example, in the moulding of parisons that are to be used for blow moulding of containers for foodstuffs.
  • Prior art
  • compression-moulding of parisons that are to be used for the blow moulding of bottles, jars or containers made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for mineral water, beverages or other foodstuffs would potentially offer various advantages over the more widespread injection-moulding technique: - lower moulding temperatures and pressures and hence a lower rate of residual acetaldehyde in the finished bottle.
  • Acetaldehyde is frequently a cause of an unpleasant taste of apple, for example in mineral-water bottles kept in warehouses where temperatures are very hot over long periods of time;
  • This system presents various drawbacks: the difficulty of uniform dosing of the amount of plastic material in the various cavities; the need to have moulds with a large number of moulding impressions, and hence the need to employ large-sized moulds, which can only be used with sequential machines; and the presence of non-uniform temperatures in the various moulding cavities.

  • the aforesaid limit of surface roughness and the pre-set maximum temperature of the surface or surfaces of the dosing means, with which the preset dose of fluid plastic material comes into contact, are determined, in correlation with one another, in such a way as to facilitate detachment or release of the predetermined dose of plastic material from said surface or surfaces during the operation of expulsion.

  • a number of dispensing devices as described above are supplied simultaneously by getting them to slide sequentially along a channel fed by a plastication screw according to a path that describes the arc of a circle.
  • the dispensing devices drop the dose of fluid plastic into the cavity of a mould to be filled.
  • the process of filling and emptying the dispensing devices is thus performed in a continuous way and, thanks to the speed at which the dispensing devices are able to carry out filling of the moulding cavities, a device according to the present invention can advantageously and conveniently be used to feed a compression- moulding press operating according to a continuous cycle.

  • Figures 1 to 3 are schematic illustrations of a preferred embodiment of a device for filling one or more moulds for the production of plastic objects moulded by means of compression moulding according to the invention.
  • This embodiment relates, in particular, to the moulding of parisons made of PET for the production of bottles, jars, containers for foodstuffs or hollow objects, but it is obvious to a person skilled in the branch that the present invention can easily be applied to the moulding of a much greater range of objects made of plastic, as well as ones made of materials other than polyethylene terephthalate, such as, for example, PS, PE, PP, PVC, PEN and PBT.

  • the top half of said swivel joint 7 is fixed on the bottom side of the turntable 4.
  • the swivel joint 7, as is explained in greater detail in what follows, enables a plurality of dispensing devices 8 mounted on the periphery of the turntable 4 to be filled with fluid plastic material.
  • Each dispensing device advantageously comprises a variable-volume cylindrical chamber 9 ( Figure 3) designed to contain a pre-determined dose of fluid plastic material and within which the piston 10 can slide vertically.
  • the piston system contributes to ensuring precision in dosing.

  • the said limit of surface roughness and the aforesaid predetermined maximum temperature of the surface or of the surfaces of the dispensing means 8, with which the pre-set dose of fluid plastic material comes into contact, are determined, in correlation with one another, so as to facilitate, during expulsion, detachment of the pre-set dose of plastic material from said surface or surfaces, in particular, preventing or limiting the formation of strings or other residue of fluid plastic material adhering to the surfaces of the chamber 9 after expulsion of the dose.
  • the thermal-conditioning means are obtained, in the example illustrated in Figures 2 and 3, with cooling circuits with thermostatted water that cools, and controls the temperature of, the cylindrical walls of the chamber 9 and of the head of the piston 10.
  • the surface roughness of the walls of the chamber 9 and of the head of the piston 10 is determined experimentally as required in each case according to the type of plastic material that is to be moulded, as well as according to the operating temperatures, and can be obtained, for example, with processes of smoothing, polishing, lapping, or honing.
  • the maximum temperature that the walls of the chamber 9 and of the piston 10, with which the fluid plastic material comes into contact, can reach is appropriately fixed.
  • the temperature of the dose of fluid plastic material to be introduced into the dispensing device 8 is controlled with an appropriate system for controlling the temperature of the fluid plastic in the channel 6 (the said system is not represented in the figures).
  • the temperature of the dose of PET to be introduced into the dispensing device 8 was kept approximately between 250°C and 260°C, whilst the temperature of the walls of the chamber 9 and of the head of the piston 10 did not exceed approximately 60°C.
  • the surface finish of the walls of the cylindrical chamber 9 and of the head of the piston 10 was the one obtained by polishing.
  • the swivel joint 7 is obtained by setting, under pressure, one against another, the two halves, i.e., the top one and the bottom one, on which there are respectively made a first sliding surface 7a and a second sliding surface 7b, the said sliding surfaces 7a and 7b being made of an appropriate anti-friction material, for example, a ceramic material, which is resistant to wear and which preferably presents quite a good degree of thermal insulation. Obtained in the first sliding surface 7a is the filling channel 12 ( Figures 1 and
  • the second sliding surface 7b slides on the surface 7a, closing the feed channel 12 at the top, except for an area corresponding to the various dispensing devices 8.

  • the bottom opening coincides, as regards its shape and dimensions, with the cross section of the cylindrical chamber 9 itself, and advantageously the filling channel has a length such that a number of bottom openings 15 can be simultaneously set over it so that a number of dispensing devices can traverse together, one after another, the filling channel 12 and thus be filled.
  • the pressure, shape and surface finish of the two surfaces 7a, 7b of the swivel joint set against one another must be such as to ensure a sufficient seal of the fluid plastic, which (see Figure 3) from the channels 6 traverses the swivel joint 7 and is injected into the chamber 9, preferably raising, with its pressure, the piston 10.
  • the two halves of the swivel joint 7 are the sectors of two solids of revolution having the generating circumferences with equal radius of curvature, so as to be able to be substantially set on top of one another and facing one another in each of their cross sections.
  • the two halves 7a and 7b preferably come into contact on a flat surface.

  • the stroke of the piston 10 is limited by a suitable stroke limiter, either a mechanical one or one of another type, so as to determine with precision and constancy the amount of plastic material introduced into each chamber 9 at each filling step.
  • the stroke of the piston 10 is detected by one or more end- of-travel sensors, which are in themselves known and are not represented in the figures, for example, microswitches, photoelectric cells or other electrical or electromechanical sensors, so as to communicate to a logic unit (not represented either) the correct completion or otherwise of the filling process of each chamber 9.
  • the said diffusion, of heat is also contained by cooling the two sliding surfaces 7a, 7b, by providing appropriate cooling channels, respectively, the channels 70, made in the fixed plate 3, and the channels 70', made in the turntable 4.
  • the parts of the filling device that have a higher temperature are separated thermally in a clear way from the turntable 4 and from the dispensing devices 8, which, particularly when the cylindrical chamber 9 and the piston 10 are cooled with water or other coolant, constitute the part of the filling device that has a lower temperature, i.e., the so-called "cold" part.
  • the fixed plate 3 is shaped so that the various dispensing devices 8, after being filled as they slide along the filling channel 12 and after sliding over a more or less short stretch of surface 7a without filling channel 12, as the rotation of the turntable 4 about the axis A proceeds, pass over an undercut area 13 of the fixed plate 3 or, alternatively, traverse a stretch of the circular path of the dispensing devices 8 in which the underlying fixed plate 3 is absent.

  • the plasticated material which is injected through the channels 6 and through the bottom opening 15 of the cylindrical chamber 9, starts to raise the piston 10 on account of the pressure that is formed in the channel 12, as it flows into the cylindrical chamber 9 ( Figure 3), whilst the dispensing device 8 in question continues to rotate along the groove 12.
  • the walls of the chamber 9 and the head of the piston 10 are cooled so as to keep their temperature below a determined maximum value, as explained previously, in correlation with the roughness of the walls of the chamber 9 and of the piston 10.
  • the speed of rotation of the top turntable 4, the pressure in the groove 12, and the calibration of the stroke limiters of the pistons are chosen so that the dispensing device 8 will be filled with the desired amount of plastic material - the said amount depending upon the mass of the object that is to be moulded - when it arrives at the end of the groove 12.
  • the dispensing device proceeds in its rotation over an angular area in which the bottom half 7a of the swivel joint is absent or is undercut, the cylindrical chamber 9 remains opened at the bottom, and the piston 10 is lowered - by means of an appropriate device- a cam mechanism, a piston, or some other mechanism -, so dropping the dose of fluid plastic through the undercut area 13 of the fixed support 3 into the cavity 5 of a half-mould 2, which had previously been positioned under the opening of the cylindrical chamber 9 ( Figure 4) by the aforesaid mould- positioning means (not shown).
  • the half-mould 2 is then ready for the subsequent operation of closing of the mould and for completion of the compression-moulding cycle.
  • the molten plastic material is preferably contained inside the chamber 9 as a result of the external atmospheric pressure.
  • the layer of insulating material 14, which thermally insulates the hot part and the cold part of the fixed plate 3 (and, respectively, separates the higher temperatures of the plastication and injection part from the lower temperatures of the second turntable 4 and the dispensing devices 8) facilitates release and expulsion, without any localised problems of adherence of the dose of plastic, so contributing to maintaining, thanks to the water-cooling circuit, the clear difference of temperature described above, between the hotter fluid plastic (250 -280°C) and the cooler walls of the chamber 9 (50-60°C) along the entire wall of the chamber 9 itself.
  • a number of dispensing devices simultaneously travel, one after the other (as illustrated in Figure 1 ) along the filling channel 12, so that one dispensing device 8 has already started to fill when the filling of the dispensing device in front of it has not yet terminated, according to' a continuous operation of the set of dispensing devices 8.
