Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of in-mold labeling technology, and more particularly to an in-mold labeling method for blow-molded bottles. Background Technology
[0002] Injection blow molding is a blow molding method, generally implemented on an injection blow molding machine. This equipment typically consists of three stations: an injection station, a blow molding station, and a demolding station, and is equipped with an automatically rotating rotating frame. First, the plastic is made into a preform using injection molding, and then it is transferred to a blow mold to be blown into a hollow product. This method can produce packaging containers for daily necessities, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, etc. These packaging containers generally require external labeling. Currently, the common method is to label the container after it has been manufactured using a labeling machine. However, this method is prone to secondary contamination during transportation and labeling, and the labeling accuracy is not high, resulting in higher production costs and poor anti-counterfeiting performance.
[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent CN103963271A discloses an in-mold labeling process for injection blow molding, including the following steps: (1) at the injection molding station, the molten material is stored and injected into the mold to form a preform on the mandrel; (2) the injection molding station and the blow molding station open the mold simultaneously; (3) the rotary lifting component rises and rotates 120°; (4) the labeling robot extends into the blow molding cavity; (5) the labeling robot places the label into the cavities of the upper and lower molds; 6) The labeling robot exits the blow molding cavity; (7) The labeling robot grabs the label and waits for the next cycle, while simultaneously executing step (8); (8) The rotary lifting component descends; (9) The injection molding station and the blow molding station close the mold simultaneously; (10) Air is blown at the blow molding station to form the container, while the label adheres to the outer wall of the container; (11) The injection molding station and the blow molding station open the mold simultaneously; (12) The rotary lifting component rises and rotates 120°; (13) The mold is demolded at the demolding station. This invention is applicable to labeling of packaging containers.
[0004] The aforementioned existing technologies have the following problems in application:
[0005] The existing in-mold labeling process described above is only suitable for labeling on one side of the bottle or labeling on both sides separately. With single-sided labeling, the contents of the label cannot be viewed on the back of the bottle. Although labeling on both sides allows the contents of the label to be displayed on the outer circumference of the bottle, there will inevitably be seams or gaps between the labels on both sides of the bottle, which cannot meet the requirements for higher labeling effect. Although setting a whole ring label on the bottle can avoid this, the existing in-mold labeling process described above cannot be applied to the processing of whole ring labels. When the ring label is placed into the cavity of the upper or lower mold, the upper and lower mold cavities close. During the mold closing process, the ring label moves with the mold, which can easily cause the position of the ring label to shift, thus making it impossible to guarantee the accurate placement of the ring label.
[0006] In summary, there is an urgent need for an in-mold labeling method for blow-molded bottles that is suitable for the accurate application of ring-shaped labels. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0046] The following description is intended to provide a detailed account of the invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.
[0047] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution:
[0048] An in-mold labeling blow molding die, comprising:
[0049] Upper mold core 100, wherein an upper mold cavity 101 is provided on the upper mold core 100;
[0050] The lower mold core 200 is movably disposed outside the upper mold core 100. The lower mold core 200 is provided with a lower mold cavity 201. The lower mold cavity 201 and the upper mold cavity 101 cooperate to form a bottle mold cavity 300. The two ends of the bottle mold cavity 300 in the axial direction are open and are respectively a preform inlet 301 and a robotic arm inlet 302.
[0051] A concave extrusion component 400 for the bottle body, the number of which is at least one, the concave extrusion component 400 for the bottle body is movably connected to the bottle mold cavity 300, and the concave extrusion component 400 for the bottle body is arranged in a manner close to and far from the axis of the bottle mold cavity 300;
[0052] The bottle mold cavity 300 is provided with a first labeling area 303, and the bottle body concave extrusion part 400, the first labeling area 303 and the preform inlet 301 are arranged sequentially in the axial direction of the bottle mold cavity 300.
[0053] This in-mold labeling blow molding die connects the concave extruder 400 to the bottle mold cavity 300 and limits the movement of the concave extruder 400. When the first labeling area 303 is located on the side of the concave extruder 400 away from the robotic arm inlet 302, the concave extruder 400 can be adjusted to be outside the bottle mold cavity 300. Then, the label is placed on the corresponding first labeling area 303 by an external robotic arm, avoiding interference between the robotic arm and the concave extruder 400. The position of the concave extruder 400 within the bottle mold cavity 300 is further adjusted. The external blow molding mechanism works with the bottle mold cavity 300 to complete the blow molding of this type of irregularly shaped bottle and the synchronous installation of the label.
[0054] To avoid interference between the bottle mold cavity 300 and the concave extrusion part 400 of the bottle body, the bottle mold cavity 300 is further described as having a smooth inner wall.
[0055] It should be noted that the concave extrusion part 400 of the bottle body has two working states: labeling state and mold closing state.
[0056] When the bottle body concave extrusion part 400 is in the labeling state, the upper mold core 100 and the lower mold core 200 are closed, and the lower mold cavity 201 and the upper mold cavity 101 cooperate to form the bottle mold cavity 300, wherein the bottle body concave extrusion part 400 is located outside the bottle mold cavity 300;
[0057] When the concave extrusion part 400 is in the closed mold state, the concave extrusion part 400 is located in the bottle mold cavity 300, and the concave extrusion part 400 forms a concave mold cavity 404 in the bottle mold cavity 300.

[0062] Specifically, there are two bottle body concave extrusion parts 400, namely an upper bottle body concave extrusion part 401 and a lower bottle body concave extrusion part 402. The upper mold core 100 is provided with an upper sliding groove 102, and the upper bottle body concave extrusion part 401 is slidably connected to the upper sliding groove 102.

When the bottle body concave extruder 400 is in the mold-closed state, the upper bottle body concave extruder 401 and the lower bottle body concave extruder 402 abut against each other on opposite sides, and the upper groove 4011 and the lower groove 4021 form a cylindrical concave mold cavity 404 in the bottle mold cavity 300.
[0064] The bottle mold cavity 300 is provided with:
[0065] The first bottle body mold cavity 304 is cylindrical. One end of the first bottle body mold cavity 304 along the axial direction is the robot arm inlet 302. The first labeling area 303 is located between the first bottle body mold cavity 304 and the inner wall of the bottle mold cavity 300.
[0066] The second bottle body mold cavity 305 is cylindrical.
[0067] The bottle mouth cavity 306 is a frustum-shaped cavity, with the top of the frustum-shaped cavity serving as the preform inlet 301. The axes of the first bottle body cavity 304, the second bottle body cavity 305, the bottle mouth cavity 306, and the concave cavity 404 coincide. The first bottle body cavity 304, the concave cavity 404, the second bottle body cavity 305, and the bottle mouth cavity 306 are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the bottle cavity 300.

Meanwhile, the robotic arm inlet 302, the second labeling area 307 and the bottle body concave extrusion member 400 are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the bottle mold cavity 300.
[0070] To further improve the labeling effect on the bottle, the second labeling area 307 is arranged in a ring shape around the axis of the bottle mold cavity 300.
[0071] To improve the labeling effect on the bottle, the first labeling area 303 is further arranged in a ring shape around the axis of the bottle mold cavity 300.
[0072] To ensure that the upper concave extruder 401 and the lower concave extruder 402 can fully abut and remain stable in the mold-closed state, and to facilitate the movement of the upper concave extruder 401 on the upper slide groove 102 and the lower concave extruder 402 on the lower slide groove 202.
[0073] Furthermore, the upper bottle body concave extrusion member 401 extends outward along the width direction of the upper sliding groove 102 to form a sliding part 403. The upper bottle body concave extrusion member 401 slides on the upper sliding groove 102 through the sliding part 403. The lower bottle body concave extrusion member 402 extends outward along the width direction of the lower sliding groove 202 to form a sliding part 403. The lower bottle body concave extrusion member 402 slides on the lower sliding groove 202 through the sliding part 403.
[0074] When the bottle body concave extrusion part 400 is in the mold closed state, the sliding part 403 of the upper bottle body concave extrusion part 401 abuts against the sliding part 403 of the lower bottle body concave extrusion part 402.
[0075] To improve the grip of the product bottle.
[0076] Furthermore, the inner wall of the upper groove 4011 has an arc-shaped protrusion at the center of the concave mold cavity 404 along the axial direction, and the inner wall of the lower groove 4021 has an arc-shaped protrusion at the center of the concave mold cavity 404 along the axial direction.
[0077] To process the shape of the bottom of the product bottle.
[0078] Furthermore, it also includes a bottle bottom slider 500, which is movably mounted outside the bottle mold cavity 300 in a manner that approaches and moves away from the robot arm inlet 302.
[0079] When the bottle bottom slider 500, the upper mold core 100 and the lower mold core 200 are closed, the bottle bottom slider 500 is attached to the side of the upper mold core 100 near the robot arm inlet 302.
[0080] To facilitate the movement of the bottle body concave extruder 400 by the external drive mechanism, so as to adjust the position of the bottle body concave extruder 400 on the bottle mold cavity 300.
[0081] Furthermore, the sliding groove 202 connects the inside and outside of the lower mold cavity 201.
[0082] Furthermore, the upper sliding groove 102 connects the inside and outside of the upper mold cavity 101.
[0083] For ease of processing, the upper mold core 100 and the lower mold core 200 are symmetrical and have the same structure.

The robot inlet 302 is positioned close to the labeling robot 700, and the preform inlet 301 is positioned close to the blow molding die station 602. By limiting the positions of the robot inlet 302 and the labeling robot 700, the labeling robot 700 can move the label to the designated position with a shorter travel distance. By limiting the positions of the preform inlet 301 and the blow molding die station 602, the preform on the blow molding die station 602 can be placed in the bottle cavity 300 through the preform inlet 301.

The rotation axis of the rotary table 600 is located close to the center of the triangular rotary table 600. The three sides of the rotary table 600 correspond to the preform injection mold station 601, the blow molding mold station 602, and the finished product discharge station 603, respectively.
[0095] This in-mold labeling device for blow-molded bottles is suitable for both ring-shaped and split-piece labeling.
[0096] This invention also provides an in-mold labeling method for blow-molded bottles, which can be used to produce finished products with concave surfaces on the bottle body, comprising the following steps:
