[0016] The present invention provides a method for processing a PET preform processing assembly, comprising:
[0017] 1. The output end of the rotary drive seat drives the processing round table to rotate. During the rotation process, the cross-distributed lower molds are respectively moved to the inside of the loading platform, directly below the upper mold at the bottom of the injection molding platform, directly below the rubber air nozzle on one side of the blow molding transfer platform, and above the material removal collection hopper. The lower mold inside the loading platform is driven by the first motor to drive the hopper to move. At the same time, during the movement of the hopper, the material distribution roller will rotate at the same time to evenly feed the material in the hopper into the inner side of the lower mold. During the unloading process, the material blocking plate will block the excess material directly below the hopper;
[0018] After the hopper is loaded, the lower mold will be driven by the processing round table to rotate and move to the bottom of the upper mold inside the hydraulic injection molding table. During the movement, the material inside the lower mold will be heated, softened and melted by the electromagnetic heating ring. At this time, the upper mold is driven by the hydraulic injection molding seat to move down, extrude and inject the softened and melted material to form a preform. Then the upper mold is separated from the lower mold, and the lower mold rotates and moves under the drive of the processing round table. During the movement of the lower mold, the air nozzle sprays cooling gas to cool the preform inside the moving lower mold. The lower mold moves to the bottom of the blow molding transfer table, and the hydraulic lifting seat starts to drive the blow molding transfer table to move down, and the rubber air nozzle is fitted with the injection-molded preform. At this time, the vacuum pump starts to extract and adsorb the inside of the preform, adsorbs and clamps all the preforms, and the hydraulic lifting seat rises to drive all the preforms to demold from the lower mold. The second motor starts to drive the blow molding transfer table to rotate, and the demolded preform is rotated and transferred to one side, and sent into the blow molding equipment to directly blow the preform. After demolding, the lower mold continues to rotate with the processing round table, and continues to load after moving to the loading table position to produce and process the preform;
[0019] 2. If the preform does not need to be directly processed for blow molding, after cooling by the air nozzle, the lower mold is driven by the processing round table to move to the position of the stripping table. At this time, the stripping gear is engaged with the stripping tooth plate, and the lower mold is driven by the stripping gear to rotate and flip. While the lower mold rotates, the horizontal push rod starts to shrink, and the plane push block shrinks to both sides to provide rotation space for the lower mold to rotate. When the lower mold rotates to the middle above the stripping collection bucket, the lower mold is in a completely flipped state, and the preform in the injection mold cavity falls to the inside of the stripping collection bucket due to gravity. After that, the processing round table rotates, and the stripping gear is engaged with the stripping tooth plate to drive the lower mold to rotate and flip to the front. After the lower mold is flipped, the horizontal push rod starts to push the plane push block to fit the lower mold. The lower mold is in a parallel state and moves to the inside of the loading table, and the hopper loads the inside of the lower mold.
[0020] Compared with the related art, the PET preform processing assembly and PET preform processing method provided by the present invention have the following beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. The present invention adopts a ring-shaped processing component matching mode, and can automatically complete the injection, column pressing, cooling and demoulding of the PET bottle blank by rotating the processing round table. The production process is fully automated without any manual intervention, and the production efficiency is extremely high. After the injection molding of the PET bottle blank is completed, the blow molding transfer mechanism can be used to blow the bottle blank to achieve multiple functional applications.
[0022] 2. The loading table position adopts a combination of loading trough and processing round table, which allows the hopper to quickly inject PET particles into the lower mold to complete the filling of raw materials. At the same time, the bottom of the hopper adopts a distribution roller and a horizontal slide transmission connection. During the movement of the hopper, the distribution roller and the upper feeding transmission gear plate of the horizontal slide are engaged to complete automatic material unloading and distribution, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the PET material feeding into the lower mold.
[0023] 3. The injection molding table on the top of the hydraulic injection molding seat has the function of replacing and installing the upper mold. When producing and processing PET preforms of different types or thicknesses, the upper mold can be quickly disassembled and replaced to improve the applicability of PET preform processing of this device. A heating tube is installed inside the preform injection molding rod inside the upper mold, which can heat itself before injection to improve the injection quality of the PET preform.
[0024] 4. When the PET bottle body needs to be blow molded directly, the blow molding transfer mechanism can directly transfer the preform after injection molding, and transfer the preform to be blown into the blow molding equipment, thereby improving the practical functionality of the device. The blow molding transfer table on the top of the blow molding transfer mechanism has the functions of extracting vacuum and blowing air, which can smoothly clamp and deliver the preform.
[0025] 5. A stripping table is provided on the side of the processing table away from the hydraulic injection molding table, which can engage the stripping gear at the connection between the lower mold and the processing table to drive the lower mold to rotate, and flip the PET preform after injection molding and cooling to the inside of the collection area to complete the demolding and collection of the PET preform.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0038] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0039] In this technical solution, the output mode of the rotating drive seat is stepper motor driven, the hydraulic injection seat and the hydraulic lifting seat are both driven by hydraulic cylinders, the first motor and the second motor are both servo motors, and the cooling air pump is a YWYX mechanical cooling blowing vortex air pump.
[0040] Please see attached Figure 1-Figure 10 , a PET bottle blank provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the PET bottle blank comprising:
[0041] The bottle body 1 has a circular bottom 101 at the bottom, a bottle mouth 104 is connected to the top of the bottle body 1, a bottle mouth injection ring 103 is provided between the bottle mouth 104 and the bottle body 1, and a melt bottom accumulation block is provided at the center of the bottom end of the circular bottom 101. When the bottle body 1 is blow-molded into a PET bottle blank, the side outer wall of the bottle body can be elastically enlarged. The bottle bottom and the melt bottom accumulation block 102 can keep the bottom of the bottle body with sufficient PET material and a bottle bottom with sufficient strength during the blow molding of the PET bottle blank. The bottle mouth injection ring 103 can ensure the material hardness of the bottle mouth during the blow molding of the PET bottle blank.
[0042] Please see attached Figure 1-Figure 10 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a PET bottle blank processing assembly, the PET bottle blank processing assembly comprising:
[0043] A processing truncated table 2 is provided with a rotating drive seat 27 at the center of the bottom surface of the processing truncated table 2. The rotating drive seat 27 drives the processing truncated table 2 to rotate through the driving method of a stepping motor. The four ends of the processing truncated table 2 are rotatably connected to a lower mold 21 in a cross shape. The lower mold 21 is designed with multiple groups, which can quickly and uninterruptedly load, inject, and cool and demold the PET bottle blank. The inner side of the top surface of the lower mold 21 is provided with injection mold cavities 22 arranged equidistantly.
[0044] A rotating shaft 23 is fixed on one side of the lower mold 21 connected to the processing truncated table 2 for rotational connection with the processing truncated table 2, and a stripping gear 24 is connected to the outer wall of the middle part of the rotating shaft 23. A stripping platform 25 is provided at the bottom of one side of the processing truncated table 2 and below the stripping gear 24. The stripping platform 25 itself is designed as a semi-arc structure, and a stripping tooth plate 26 is connected to the top surface of the stripping platform 25. The stripping tooth plate 26 is meshed with the stripping gear 24 for transmission. When the stripping gear 24 is rotated by the processing truncated table 2, the stripping gear 24 will mesh with the stripping tooth plate 26, thereby driving the lower mold 21 to rotate and flip, thereby completing the demolding of the preform.
[0045] Plane push blocks 201 are horizontally slidably connected on both sides of the position where the processing truncated table 2 is connected to the lower mold 21. A horizontal push rod 202 is connected to the side of the planar push block 201 close to the processing truncated table 2. The other end of the horizontal push rod 202 is embedded and fixed on the inner side of the processing truncated table 2. The horizontal push rod 202 pushes the planar push block 201 to move, which can provide rotation space for the lower mold 21 during its rotation. At the same time, after the rotation is completed, the lower mold 21 can be clamped to ensure the horizontal stability of the lower mold 21.
[0046] Symmetrical covering sheets 203 are fixed at the upper and lower ends of the plane push block 201. The covering sheets 203 slide in contact with the inner surface of the processing truncated table 2. The covering sheets 203 can ensure the horizontal effect of the surface of the processing truncated table 2 and avoid the generation of gaps during the advancement of the plane push block 201. Permanent magnet blocks 204 are embedded and connected to the inner sides of the opposite surfaces of the plane push block 201 and the lower mold 21. The permanent magnet blocks 204 can provide magnetic force after the lower mold 21 is flipped to a certain angle, so that the lower mold 21 can be quickly reset and kept horizontal.
[0047] A loading platform 3 is provided on one side of the processing circular table 2 adjacent to the stripping table 25, and a loading trough 301 is opened inside the loading platform 3. The processing circular table 2 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the loading trough 301, and the top of the loading trough 301 is limitedly slidably connected to the hopper 4, and the bottom of the hopper 4 is drivingly connected to both sides of the horizontal slide 302 on the top surface of the loading platform 3. The first motor 408 on both sides of the bottom of the hopper 4 drives the driving gear 407 to engage with the fixed tooth plates 304 on both sides of the horizontal slide 302 to complete the reciprocating sliding of the hopper 4, and a dividing roller 404 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner side of the hopper 4, and driven gears 406 are connected to both ends of the dividing roller 404, and the driven gear 406 is engaged with the unloading transmission tooth plate 305 on the top surface of the horizontal slide 302. During the displacement of the hopper 4, the dividing roller 404 can rotate to evenly discharge the material inside the loading trough 301.
[0048] The bottom of the hopper 4 is connected to the two sides of the dividing roller 404, and a triangular feeding plate 401 and a material blocking block 402 are respectively provided on both sides, which can deliver the material to the two sides of the dividing roller 404 and prevent the material from falling down through the gaps on both sides of the dividing roller 404. The bottom of the hopper 4 is located on both sides of the dividing roller 404 and fixed with symmetrical sweeping pieces 405. The sweeping pieces 405 can collect excess material under the hopper 4 during the reciprocating sliding of the hopper 4 to fill the lower mold 21, thereby preventing the material from being scattered. At the same time, the excess material can be scraped and sent to the inside of the lower mold 21 again.
[0049] As the lower mold 21 moves to the bottom of the hydraulic injection molding seat 5 driven by the processing truncated table 2, the electromagnetic heating coil 507 inside the injection mold cavity 22 of the lower mold 21 heats and softens the material. When the lower mold 21 moves to the bottom of the hydraulic injection molding seat 5, the hydraulic cylinder inside the hydraulic injection molding seat 5 is started, driving the injection molding table 501 to move downward, covering the upper mold 503 with the lower mold 21, completing the extrusion injection molding of the material inside the lower mold 21, and allowing the material to form a preform.
[0050] It should be noted that the preform injection rod 505 at the bottom of the upper mold 503 is heated by a heating tube 506, so that the preform injection rod 505 itself has a preheating function, and can perform hot melt injection molding on the material inside the lower mold 21, thereby ensuring the injection molding quality of the preform. The top of the upper mold 503 is opened with an injection port, and the principle is injected into it for extrusion injection molding.
[0051] It should be noted that the injection molding table 501 and the upper mold 503 are detachable in design. When different types or sizes of preforms need to be molded, the connecting cable 504 can be separated, the upper mold 503 can be taken out, and the upper mold 503 can be replaced to complete the injection molding of different types of preforms.
[0052] The preform after injection molding will move with the processing truncated table 2. During the movement, the cooling mechanism 6 will blow gas to the surface of the processing truncated table 2 and the inside of the lower mold 21 through the cooling air pump 601 to cool the preform after injection molding, and create a gap between the preform and the mold through high-pressure blowing to perform pre-demolding between the preform and the mold.
[0053] When the processing truncated table 2 moves the cooled preforms to the bottom of the blow molding transfer mechanism 7, if it is necessary to blow mold this batch of preforms, the hydraulic lifting seat 701 can be started to drive the blow molding transfer table 702 to descend, and the rubber air nozzle 704 can be used to penetrate into the interior of the preforms. The vacuum pump 706 is used to suck air into the air cavity 703, and the preforms are adsorbed on the outside of the rubber air nozzle 704. After that, the hydraulic lifting seat 701 is raised and rotated to transfer this batch of preforms to the blow molding equipment on one side. When the preforms are separated, the air pump 705 can be started, the vacuum pump 706 can be turned off, and a thrust can be applied to the preforms to separate the preforms from the rubber air nozzle 704.
[0054] It should be noted that the blow molding transfer platform 702 is detachably connected to the hydraulic lifting seat 701. By separating the limiting mounting seat 71 and the fixing screw 72, the blow molding transfer platform 702 can be separated and replaced with a different type of blow molding transfer platform 702 for use.
[0055] It should be noted that during the rotation of the blow molding transfer platform 702 , the output end of the second motor 75 on the bottom surface of the blow molding transfer platform 702 is meshed with the annular gear plate 74 to provide rotational power for the blow molding transfer platform 702 .
[0056] When the preform does not need to be blow-molded, the preform is driven by the processing truncated table 2 to move to the position of the stripping table 25. After the stripping gear 24 is engaged with the stripping tooth plate 26, the lower mold 21 will rotate and flip to strip the material, and the preform is demolded and collected into the inner side of the stripping collection bucket 8.
[0057] Please see attached Figure 1-Figure 10 The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for processing a PET preform processing assembly, and the method for processing a PET preform processing assembly includes:
[0058] 1. The output end of the rotating drive seat 27 drives the processing truncated table 2 to rotate. During the rotation process, the cross-distributed lower mold 21 is respectively moved to the inside of the loading platform 3, directly below the upper mold 503 at the bottom of the injection molding platform 501, directly below the rubber air nozzle 704 on one side of the blow molding transfer platform 702, and above the material removal collection hopper 8. The lower mold 21 located inside the loading platform 3 is driven by the first motor 408 to drive the hopper 4 to move. At the same time, during the movement of the hopper 4, the material distribution roller 404 will rotate at the same time to evenly feed the material in the hopper 4 into the inner side of the lower mold 21. During the unloading process, the material blocking plate will block the excess material directly below the hopper 4;
[0059] After the material is loaded through the hopper 4, the lower mold 21 is driven by the processing round table 2 to rotate and move to the bottom of the upper mold 503 inside the hydraulic injection molding table 501. During the movement, the material inside the lower mold 21 is heated, softened, and melted by the electromagnetic heating ring 507. At this time, the upper mold 503 is driven by the hydraulic injection molding seat 5 to move downward, and the softened and melted material is squeezed and injected to form a preform. Then the upper mold 503 is separated from the lower mold 21, and the lower mold 21 rotates and moves driven by the processing round table 2. During the movement of the lower mold 21, the air nozzle 603 sprays cooling gas to cool the preform inside the moving lower mold 21. The lower mold 21 moves to the blow molding rotary table. Directly below the transfer platform 702, the hydraulic lifting seat 701 starts to drive the blow molding transfer platform 702 to move downward, and the rubber air nozzle 704 is fitted with the injection-molded preform. At this time, the vacuum pump 706 starts to extract and adsorb the inside of the preform, adsorbing and clamping all the preforms, and the hydraulic lifting seat 701 rises to drive all the preforms to demold from the lower mold 21. The second motor 75 starts to drive the blow molding transfer platform 702 to rotate, and the demolded preforms are rotated and transferred to one side, and sent into the blow molding equipment to directly blow the preforms. After demolding, the lower mold 21 continues to rotate with the processing round table 2, and continues to load after moving to the position of the loading platform 3, and the preforms are produced and processed;
[0060] 2. If the preform does not need to be directly processed and blow-molded, after being cooled by the air nozzle 603, the lower mold 21 is driven by the processing round table 2 to move to the position of the stripping table 25. At this time, the stripping gear 24 is meshed with the stripping tooth plate 26, and the lower mold 21 is rotated and flipped under the drive of the stripping gear 24. While the lower mold 21 rotates, the horizontal push rod 202 starts to shrink, and the plane push block 201 shrinks to both sides to provide a rotation space for the rotation of the lower mold 21. When the lower mold 21 rotates to the middle above the stripping collection bucket 8, the lower mold 21 is in a completely flipped state, and the preform in the injection mold cavity 22 falls to the inside of the stripping collection bucket 8 due to gravity. Then, the processing round table 2 rotates, and the stripping gear 24 is meshed with the stripping tooth plate 26 to drive the lower mold 21 to rotate and flip to the front. After the flipping of the lower mold 21 is completed, the horizontal push rod 202 starts to push the plane push block 201 to fit with the lower mold 21. The lower mold 21 is in a parallel state and moves to the inside of the loading table 3, and the hopper 4 loads the inside of the lower mold 21.
[0061] Working process: the material inside the hopper 4 can be reciprocated to fill the material inside the lower mold 21 inside the feeding trough 301. After the filling is completed, the lower mold 21 moves to the bottom of the injection molding table 501, and is injected by the upper mold 503 to complete the injection molding of the PET bottle blank. Later, during the movement of the PET bottle blank, the cooling mechanism 6 cools the bottle blank. When the bottle blank moves to the position of the blow molding transfer mechanism 7, if blow molding is required, the bottle blank can be transferred to the blow molding area and blow molded. If blow molding is not required, the bottle blank will move to the position of the stripping collection hopper 8 to complete the demoulding and unloading. In this reciprocating cycle, the bottle blank can be processed uninterruptedly by continuously loading the material inside the hopper 4.
