Definitions
- a bottomed tubular or cup-shaped preform (primary premolded product) is molded by injection molding, the preform is brought into a temperature state above the glass transition point of the molding resin, and the preform in this temperature state is obtained.
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a resin container for obtaining a resin container by blow molding or stretch blow molding.
- Biaxial stretch blow molding is widely used in the manufacture of resin containers such as PET bottles.
- the biaxial stretch blow molding method is divided into a hot parison method and a cold parison method according to the difference in the thermal history of the injection-molded preform (parison).
- the hot parison method is a method in which the preform shifts to the temperature control process in a state where the preform is not completely cooled and blow molding is performed.
- the hot parison method is also called a one-stage method because preform molding and blow molding are continuously performed in a series of molding systems.
- the cold parison method the injection-molded preform is cooled to room temperature and reheated by a blow molding machine to blow-mold the preform heated to a temperature state at which it can be blow-molded.
- the cold parison method is also called a two-stage method because the preform molding and the preform blow molding are performed by separate molding systems.
- Patent Documents 1 to 3 The former method for manufacturing a resin container by the hot parison method is described in Patent Documents 1 to 3.
- the principle is that the resin container is blow molded using the residual heat at the time of injection without completely cooling the preform.
- the plastic container is transported to the container take-out section and collected at a predetermined collection location.
- the injection-molded preform is transferred from the injection-molded part to the temperature control part, the blow-molded part and the take-out part at a constant time interval. It is transported intermittently in sequence.
- the time required to control the temperature of the preform in the temperature control section to form the optimum temperature state for blow molding also varies. ..
- the temperature adjustment time of a thick-walled preform generally takes longer than that of a thin-walled preform.
- the processing time in the temperature control section is long, the processing time in the temperature control section becomes a bottleneck, the tact time of the manufacturing system becomes long, and the production efficiency may decrease. Further, in the temperature control part, if the preform is not in the optimum temperature state for blow molding, each part of the preform cannot be appropriately stretched and blown in the stretch blow molding, and a container having the target characteristics can be obtained. It may not be possible.
- some resin containers are used as containers for lactic acid beverages.
- the mouth of such a container has no screws and has a flange that surrounds the outer periphery of the mouth.
- the mouth of the container is sealed by attaching a film such as aluminum foil to the top surface of the flange by a method such as heat sealing.
- This type of container is generally manufactured by vacuum forming, extrusion blow molding.
- the outer peripheral surface of the mouth as used in a manufacturing system for containers with a threaded mouth, such as PET bottles, which is common especially in the two-stage method.
- a preform transfer tool or a container transfer tool having a structure for gripping the mouth portion of the preform by mechanical engagement cannot be used by utilizing the concave shape of the above.
- the mouth portion of the preform is gripped by using the screw portion or the support ring on the lower side of the screw portion, and the injection molding portion is passed through the temperature control portion. It is sent to a blow molding mold, and the container obtained by blow molding is sent out to a take-out part.
- a preform transfer tool or transfer mechanism cannot be used to reliably grip the mouth of the preform ejected from the injection mold, and therefore the push. It is difficult to move the reform at high speed and surely along the transport path passing through the temperature control section, the blow molding section, and the take-out section.
- an object of the present invention is to manufacture a resin container by injection blow molding, which can adjust the temperature of the preform so as to obtain the optimum temperature state for blow molding without lowering the production efficiency.
- the purpose is to propose a method for manufacturing a resin container.
- an object of the present invention is that the temperature of the preform can be adjusted without lowering the production efficiency, and a resin container having a mouth portion without a screw portion is passed through each step for injection blow molding.
- the purpose is to propose a method for manufacturing a resin container that can be efficiently transported at high speed to manufacture a resin container.

- Arrange N sets and When the empty temperature control pot group that does not contain the preform is defined as an empty temperature control pot group, Until the injection molding process is performed a plurality of times of N times or less.
- the temperature control step is performed in parallel each time the injection molding step is performed without performing the transfer step and the blow molding step, and the injection-molded preform is put into one set of the empty temperature control pots. Accept it in each of the temperature control pots to which it belongs and start the temperature adjustment. After performing the injection molding step a plurality of times, Each time the injection molding step is performed, the transfer step, the blow molding step, and the temperature control step are performed in parallel. The temperature control pot group containing the preform injection-molded in the injection molding step performed at the earliest time is set as the temperature control pot group to be taken out from the preform.

- Each of the preforms received in the temperature control pots of the first temperature control pot group is subjected to temperature adjustment during the (N-1) injection molding steps from the second to the Nth times.
- the processing time required for one injection molding process does not limit the temperature adjustment time of the preform in the temperature control process. Therefore, it is possible to secure a sufficient temperature adjustment time required for the preform. Further, for example, the temperature adjustment time of the preform can be increased or decreased by increasing or decreasing the number N of the temperature control pot group. Therefore, even preforms having different wall thicknesses and preforms having different shapes can be heated to the optimum temperature state for blow molding in the temperature control pot without lowering the production efficiency.

Since the pitch conversion mechanism and its installation space are not required, the preform transfer device and transfer mechanism can be configured simply and compactly.
- preforms can be delivered in each process as follows. First, in the step of receiving the preform from the injection molding die into the temperature control pot, the preform attached to the male mold in the mold-opened state in the injection molding apparatus is coaxially described.

Abstract
Dans un système de fabrication d'un récipient en résine (1), à chaque fois que 24 préformes (2) sont moulées par injection, une unité de régulation de température (61) d'un dispositif de régulation de température (6) est déplacée vers une position de réception de préforme (6A) et des préformes (2) sont acceptées dans 24 pots à température régulée (62) qui sont dans un état vide, parmi 72 pots à température régulée (62). Chaque fois que l'unité de régulation de température (61) revient à une position de retrait de préforme (6B), les préformes (2) sont retirées par un dispositif de transfert de préforme (7) à partir des 24 pots à température régulée (62) qui ont reçu les préformes (2), en premier lieu, parmi les 72 pots à température régulée (62), amenées dans un dispositif de moulage par soufflage-étirage (5) et soumises à un moulage par étirage-soufflage pour obtenir 24 récipients en résine (3). Ce système de fabrication (1) permet une régulation de la température des préformes de manière à obtenir un état de température optimal pour le moulage par soufflage sans devoir diminuer l'efficacité de production.
