Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of blow molding machines, in particular to a blow needle mechanism for a blow molding machine. Background Art

[0002] Blow molding, also known as hollow blow molding, is a rapidly developing plastic processing method. The tubular plastic preform obtained by extrusion or injection molding of thermoplastic resin is placed in a split mold while hot (or heated to a softened state). After the mold is closed, compressed air is immediately introduced into the preform to inflate the plastic preform and make it close to the inner wall of the mold. After cooling and demolding, various hollow products are obtained. In the hollow bottle blowing machine, the blow needle is used to inflate the blank inserted into the mold. The blank expands as the air pressure increases, forcing it to close to the mold, thereby achieving the molding of the plastic product and playing a certain cooling role. It is an indispensable component in the blow molding process of the hollow blow molding machine. Since most hollow products have relatively high requirements for the inner diameter of the mouth, especially bottle products, this requires that the cooling effect of the blow needle in the blow needle structure should be good. In addition, the mouth of some bottle products needs to be processed with internal threads, but the internal threads cannot be directly formed by the mold, so it is necessary to make a thread structure on the blow needle. The thread structure is made directly on the blow needle. Generally, the thread structure is made directly on the end of the blow needle. This thread structure is difficult to maintain and is only applicable to a specific size of bottle mouth, making the thread structure too simple. At the same time, the traditional blow needle structure has simple functions, and most of them only have cooling functions. Other functions, such as the positioning of the product bottle mouth, require the addition of special positioning fixtures or mechanisms, which increases the complexity and difficulty of the blow molding machine operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Example

[0023] like Figure 1-8As shown, a blow needle mechanism for a blow molding machine is used for blow molding of bottle products. The blow needle mechanism includes a base 1. A first fixing block 2 and a second fixing block 3 are sequentially arranged upwardly on the base 1. A blow rod 5 is connected in the middle of the base 1 and penetrates the first fixing block 2 and the second fixing block 3 upwardly. The base 1 is used to fix the blow rod 5. A blow hole 4 connected to the blow rod 5 is provided on the base 1. Gas is conducted into the blow rod 5 through the blow hole 4 to realize blow molding of the product. The outer side of the blowing rod 5 is sleeved with a transmission rod 6, which is arranged on the first fixed block 2 and passes through the second fixed block 3 upward. The bottom end of the transmission rod 6 is fixedly connected with a lever 16, which passes through the first fixed block 2 and is movably connected with a rodless cylinder 17. The lever 16 can be driven to rotate by the rodless cylinder 17, and the transmission rod 6 can be driven to rotate by the lever 16 to form a driving assembly; at the same time, the outer side of the transmission rod 6 is sleeved with a piston rod 7, and the upper end of the piston rod 7 is connected with a guide sleeve 9 sleeved on the transmission rod 6. The upper end of the transmission rod 6 is fixedly connected with a pin fixing ring 13, and the pin fixing ring 13 is arranged in the guide sleeve 9.

The guide sleeve 9 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves for matching the blocks 14. Each block 14 is provided with an arc waist hole at the end close to the pin fixing ring 13, and the pin on the pin fixing ring 13 is movably inserted into the block The driving assembly formed by the rodless cylinder 17, the lever 16 and the transmission rod 6 can drive the pin fixing ring 13 to rotate synchronously.

When the threaded insert 12 is sleeved on the guide sleeve 9, the lever 16 is driven to rotate by the rodless cylinder 17 of the driving assembly, driving the transmission rod 6 to rotate. Through the rotation of the transmission rod 6, the pin fixing ring 13 can be driven to rotate synchronously, and the pin on the pin fixing ring 13 drives the block 14 to extend out of the outer wall of the guide sleeve 9 along the radial direction of the guide sleeve 9, and the threaded insert 12 is stuck and fixed, so as to realize the locking of the threaded insert 12 on the guide sleeve 9.
