The blow pin breaks through a portion forming the connecting portion 15 in the parison 16 sandwiched between the first mold 41 and the second mold 42 and blows in compressed air.
　第２の金型４２は、第２の型盤３２に固定される。第２の金型４２は、成形品１０（図１参照）の半部を形成するキャビティ面４３を有する。このキャビティ面４３の中央部分、すなわち、連結部１５（図１参照）を形成する部分には、収容部４６が設けられる。この収容部４６は、キャビティ面４３に形成される下側収容部４６ａと、下側収容部４６ａの上端から第２の金型４２の合わせ面を上方に向けて延び、第２の金型４２の上面に通じる上側収容部４６ｂとからなる。収容部４６は溝状、凹状などアーム５０の形状に応じてアーム５０が収容可能な形状とすることができる。 The second mold 42 is fixed to the second mold plate 32.

An accommodating portion 46 is provided in the central portion of the cavity surface 43, that is, in the portion forming the connecting portion 15 (see FIG. 1). The accommodating portion 46 extends from the upper end of the lower accommodating portion 46 a formed on the cavity surface 43 and the upper surface of the lower accommodating portion 46 a with the mating surface of the second mold 42 upward, and the second mold 42. And an upper accommodating portion 46b that communicates with the upper surface. The accommodating portion 46 can have a shape that can accommodate the arm 50 according to the shape of the arm 50 such as a groove shape or a concave shape.
　図６に示すように、アーム５０は、第２の金型４２に近接して型締機構３０に回動可能に設けられる。この例では、アーム５０は、第２の型盤３２の上部に設けられる取付け部材５１に、回動軸５２を介して回動可能に取り付けられており、回動軸５２から延在する上腕部５３と、この上腕部５３から第２の金型４２の側に向かって延在する前腕部５５と、を有する。このように、アーム５０を上腕部５３及び前腕部５５からなる屈曲した形状に形成することにより、小さい回動角度でも、アーム５０の前腕部５５の先端部（後述する保持部５６）を大きく回動させることができる。 As shown in FIG. 6, the arm 50 is provided in the mold clamping mechanism 30 so as to be rotatable in the vicinity of the second mold 42. In this example, the arm 50 is rotatably attached to an attachment member 51 provided on the upper portion of the second mold plate 32 via a rotation shaft 52, and an upper arm portion extending from the rotation shaft 52. 53, and a forearm portion 55 extending from the upper arm portion 53 toward the second mold 42 side. Thus, by forming the arm 50 into a bent shape composed of the upper arm portion 53 and the forearm portion 55, the tip end portion (a holding portion 56 described later) of the arm 50 is rotated largely even at a small rotation angle. Can be moved.
　前腕部５５は、先端部を含む一端が第２の金型４２のキャビティ面４３の一部を構成するように下側収容部４６ａ及び上側収容部４６ｂと調和した形状を有しており、第２の金型４２のキャビティ面４３を構成するとともに成形品１０の連結部１５を保持可能な保持部５６を有する。 The forearm portion 55 has a shape in harmony with the lower housing portion 46a and the upper housing portion 46b so that one end including the distal end portion forms part of the cavity surface 43 of the second mold 42. It has a holding part 56 that constitutes the cavity surface 43 of the second mold 42 and can hold the connecting part 15 of the molded product 10.
　図７に示すように、保持部５６は、型開きの際、成形品１０を第２の金型４２側に残し、かつ、成形品１０を係止して取り出すための凹部５７を有する。凹部５７には、成形品１０の成形材料（溶融樹脂）がブロー成形時に入り込むことが可能であり、また、凹部５７は、第２の金型４２においてアンダカットとなる部分を形成する。この例では、第２の金型４２の開閉方向に対して斜め方向に突出するアンダカット部１７（図６参照）を成形品１０に形成する。 As shown in FIG. 7, the holding portion 56 has a concave portion 57 for leaving the molded product 10 on the second mold 42 side when the mold is opened and for locking and removing the molded product 10. The molding material (molten resin) of the molded product 10 can enter the concave portion 57 at the time of blow molding, and the concave portion 57 forms an undercut portion in the second mold 42. In this example, an undercut portion 17 (see FIG. 6) that protrudes obliquely with respect to the opening / closing direction of the second mold 42 is formed in the molded product 10.
　なお、この例では、型開きの際、成形品１０を第２の金型４２側に残し、かつ、成形品１０を係止して取り出すための構成として、凹部５７を保持部５６に設けた構成を例示したが、この他、保持部５６としてはアーム５０に真空吸引用の穴を設け、この真空吸引の負圧によって成形品１０を吸着することで、成形品１０を第２の金型４２側に残したり、成形品１０をアーム５０に保持させたりすることもできる。 In this example, when the mold is opened, the concave portion 57 is provided in the holding portion 56 as a configuration for leaving the molded product 10 on the second mold 42 side and locking and removing the molded product 10. In addition to this, the holding portion 56 is provided with a vacuum suction hole in the arm 50, and the molded product 10 is adsorbed by the negative pressure of the vacuum suction, whereby the molded product 10 is attached to the second mold. It can be left on the 42 side or the molded product 10 can be held by the arm 50.
　以上のように構成されるアーム５０は、１組の金型４０が型締機構３０によって型閉じされて型締めされるときには、第２の金型４２の収容部４６に嵌合し、１組の金型４０が型締機構３０によって型開きされて成形品１０を取り出すときには、第２の金型４２の収容部４６から離脱してエジェクタとして機能する。 The arm 50 configured as described above is fitted into the accommodating portion 46 of the second mold 42 when the set of molds 40 is closed and clamped by the mold clamping mechanism 30. When the mold 40 is opened by the mold clamping mechanism 30 and the molded product 10 is taken out, the mold 40 is detached from the accommodating portion 46 of the second mold 42 and functions as an ejector.
　続いて、実施形態に係るブロー成形方法を図８～図１１に基づいて説明する。このブロー成形方法は、ブロー成形装置２０を用い、成形品１０を製造する方法であって、以下のステップ（Ａ）～ステップ（Ｆ）を含む。まず、ステップ（Ａ）において、上述したように、回転輪２５の周囲に配設された複数の型締機構３０と、各型締機構３０に取り付けられ、第１の金型４１と第２の金型４２とを含む１組の金型４０と、各型締機構３０に第２の金型４２と近接して回動可能に設けられたアーム５０とを準備する。 Subsequently, the blow molding method according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. This blow molding method is a method of manufacturing a molded article 10 using the blow molding apparatus 20, and includes the following steps (A) to (F). First, in step (A), as described above, the plurality of mold clamping mechanisms 30 disposed around the rotary wheel 25 and each mold clamping mechanism 30 are attached to the first mold 41 and the second mold. A set of molds 40 including a mold 42 and an arm 50 provided in each mold clamping mechanism 30 so as to be rotatable in proximity to the second mold 42 are prepared.
　次に、図８に示すように、ステップ（Ｂ）では、アーム５０を第２の金型４２側に下方に回動させ、第２の金型４２のキャビティ面４３の一部を構成するようにアーム５０の前腕部５５を第２の金型４２の収容部４６に嵌合する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 8, in step (B), the arm 50 is rotated downward toward the second mold 42 so as to constitute a part of the cavity surface 43 of the second mold 42. The forearm portion 55 of the arm 50 is fitted into the accommodating portion 46 of the second mold 42.
　図９に示すように、ステップ（Ｃ）では、溶融樹脂からなる筒状のパリソン１６を第１の金型４１と第２の金型４２の間に配置した状態で、シリンダ本体３６ａからロッド３６ｂを前進させ、換言すれば第１の金型１と第２の金型４２を相対的に移動させ、１組の金型４０に対し型閉じを行う。ステップ（Ｄ）では、パリソン１６を１組の金型４０内で膨出させ、すなわちパリソン内に圧力流体を導入して賦形し、成形品１０を型締めして形成する。この際、凹部５７（図７参照）には、樹脂が入り込んでアンダカット部１７（図６参照）が形成される。そして、回転する間に成形品１０を金型４０内で所定の温度まで冷却する。 As shown in FIG. 9, in step (C), the cylindrical parison 16 made of a molten resin is disposed between the first mold 41 and the second mold 42, and then the cylinder main body 36a to the rod 36b. In other words, the first mold 1 and the second mold 42 are moved relative to each other, and the molds 40 are closed. In step (D), the parison 16 is swelled in one set of molds 40, that is, a pressure fluid is introduced into the parison and shaped, and the molded product 10 is clamped. At this time, the resin enters the recess 57 (see FIG. 7) to form the undercut portion 17 (see FIG. 6). Then, the molded product 10 is cooled in the mold 40 to a predetermined temperature while rotating.
　図１０に示すように、ステップ（Ｅ）では、シリンダ本体３６ａ側にロッド３６ｂを後退させることにより、１組の金型４０を型開きする。この際、凹部５７により形成されるアンダカット部１７（図６参照）によって、成形品１０は、第２の金型４２側に残る。 As shown in FIG. 10, in step (E), the set of molds 40 is opened by retracting the rod 36b toward the cylinder body 36a. At this time, the molded product 10 remains on the second mold 42 side by the undercut portion 17 (see FIG. 6) formed by the concave portion 57.
　図１１に示すように、ステップ（Ｆ）では、アーム５０を上方に回動させて、収容部４６からアーム５０の前腕部５５を離脱させる。これにより、アーム５０がエジェクタとして機能し、成形品１０を保持部５６に保持した状態で、第２の金型４２から取り出す。取り出された成形品１０は、別のロボットアーム（図示省略）などに受け渡され、連結部１５を切除する工程など次工程に搬送される。 As shown in FIG. 11, in step (F), the arm 50 is rotated upward to disengage the forearm portion 55 of the arm 50 from the accommodating portion 46. Thereby, the arm 50 functions as an ejector, and the molded product 10 is taken out from the second mold 42 while being held by the holding portion 56. The molded product 10 taken out is delivered to another robot arm (not shown) or the like, and conveyed to the next step such as a step of cutting the connecting portion 15.
（実施形態の効果）
　以上、説明した実施形態の効果について述べる。
　本実施形態によれば、小型の成形品１０を次から次へと製造しなくてはならない場合においても、成形品１０を巻き取り可能な連続体として形成することなく、装置からの成形品１０の取り出しをアーム５０により効率よく行うことができ、小型容器１１を製造するのに適した小型のロータリー式のブロー成形装置及びブロー成形方法を提供することができる。 (Effect of embodiment)
The effects of the embodiment described above will be described.
According to this embodiment, even when the small molded article 10 has to be manufactured from one to the next, the molded article 10 from the apparatus is formed without forming the molded article 10 as a continuous body that can be wound up. Can be efficiently taken out by the arm 50, and a small rotary blow molding apparatus and a blow molding method suitable for manufacturing the small container 11 can be provided.
　また、回転輪２５とは別の部材（取付け板２６）に、各型締機構３０の動作を制御するための複数の位置検出手段２７を設け、型締めなどのタイミングを電気的に制御するため、回転輪に設けたレール（カム板）によって型締めなどのタイミングを制御する従来の機械的な制御に比べ、回転輪２５の構造の簡素化を図ることができ、小型容器１１の製造に、より適したブロー成形装置２０を提供することができる。 In addition, a plurality of position detecting means 27 for controlling the operation of each mold clamping mechanism 30 is provided on a member (attachment plate 26) different from the rotating wheel 25 to electrically control the timing of mold clamping and the like. The structure of the rotating wheel 25 can be simplified compared to the conventional mechanical control in which the timing such as clamping is controlled by a rail (cam plate) provided on the rotating wheel. A more suitable blow molding apparatus 20 can be provided.
　さらに、ブロー成形装置２０では、型締機構３０の要素として電動式のシリンダユニット３６を採用した。電動式のシリンダユニット３６では、ロッド３６ｂを進退させる送りねじに、ボールねじを採用していることから、電動モータを停止させても１組の金型４０が開く方向に逆戻りすることがない。したがって、１組の金型４０の型閉じ、型開きに加え、型締め用のロック機構がなくても、電動式のシリンダユニット３６だけで十分な型締め力が得られる。結果、ロック機構がなくなる分、小型容器１１の製造に適するよう、型締機構３０及びブロー成形装置２０の小型化を図ることができる。また、電動式のシリンダユニット３６では、型締め時の速度調整も細かく制御できるため、成形品１０の溶着部（１組の金型４０の合わせ面に挟まれる部分）を綺麗に仕上げることもできる。 Furthermore, the blow molding apparatus 20 employs an electric cylinder unit 36 as an element of the mold clamping mechanism 30. In the electric cylinder unit 36, since a ball screw is adopted as a feed screw for moving the rod 36b forward and backward, even if the electric motor is stopped, the set of molds 40 does not return backward. Therefore, in addition to the mold closing and opening of the set of molds 40, a sufficient clamping force can be obtained only by the electric cylinder unit 36 even without a locking mechanism for clamping. As a result, the mold clamping mechanism 30 and the blow molding apparatus 20 can be reduced in size so as to be suitable for manufacturing the small container 11 because the lock mechanism is eliminated. In addition, since the electric cylinder unit 36 can finely control the speed adjustment at the time of clamping, the welded portion of the molded product 10 (the portion sandwiched between the mating surfaces of one set of molds 40) can be finished finely. .
　以上、実施形態を用いて本発明を説明したが、本発明の技術的範囲は上記実施形態に記載の範囲には限定されないことは言うまでもない。上記実施形態に、多様な変更又は改良を加えることが可能であることが当業者に明らかである。またそのような変更又は改良を加えた形態も本発明の技術的範囲に含まれ得ることが、特許請求の範囲の記載から明らかである。 As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using embodiment, it cannot be overemphasized that the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications or improvements can be added to the above embodiment.
