Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plastic processing, and particularly to a injection-blow molding machine with the ability of rapid cooling and forming. Background Art

[0002] In the injection-blow molding process, first, an injection tube is inserted into an injection mold, and a material in a plasticized state is injected to form a preform with a preliminary shape on the injection tube. Then, the injection tube together with the newly formed preform is transferred to a blow mold. At this stage, compressed gas is injected into the preform through the injection tube, causing the preform to expand outward and closely adhere to the inner wall of the blow mold, thereby completing the final forming of the plastic bottle. However, the just-formed plastic bottle has a high temperature. The traditional cooling method relies on setting cooling channels in the mold to reduce the mold temperature, and then indirectly cools the plastic bottle by the mold. This method increases the heat transfer path, resulting in a slow cooling rate and a long required cooling time. For some plastic bottles with strict requirements on dimensional stability and surface quality, this cooling method cannot meet the need for rapid cooling, thus affecting the production quality and efficiency of the product.

[0042] The following is a detailed description of the processing process for plastic bottles:

[0043] First, control the lifting platform 2 to move downward through the electric push rod, so that the lifting platform 2, the rotating plate 3, the fixed plate 4 and their connecting parts move downward, so that the blowing tube 5 on the rear fixed plate 4 is inserted into the injection unit 7. Then, injection molding is carried out through the injection unit 7 to form a preform 6 on the blowing tube 5. At this time, the preform 6 is in a plastic state. Then, control the lifting platform 2 to move upward, so that the blowing tube 5 and the preform 6 move upward together and separate from the injection unit 7. Then, with the top-down view as the reference, control the motor on the rotating plate 3 to rotate, so that the rotating plate 3 rotates clockwise by 180 degrees, so that the preform 6 on the rear blowing tube 5 faces the front side. Subsequently, control the lifting platform 2 to move downward, so as to synchronously drive the lower pressing plate 211, the blowing tube 5 and the preform 6 to move downward. Since the lowest point of the lower pressing plate 211 is set lower than the lowest point of the blowing tube 5, the inclined part 21101 of the lower pressing plate 211 first contacts the extrusion block 21201 of the sliding plate 212. By pressing the extrusion block 21201 downward through the inclined part 21101, the extrusion block 21201 receives a forward thrust, so that the sliding plate 212 moves forward. The spring between the sliding plate 212 and the top plate 11 is compressed, and the through hole 1101 is opened. Subsequently, control the lifting platform 2 to continue to move downward, so that the blowing tube 5 and the preform 6 first pass through the corresponding through hole 1101 on the top plate 11, and then are inserted between the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9. Then, control the two driving parts 201 to drive the adjacent first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9 to move towards each other, so that the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9 are mutually attached. Moreover, the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9 are respectively closely attached to the bottom plate 10 and the top plate 11. In this way, the air collecting hole 1002 and the exhaust hole 1103 are covered by the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9, and a sealed blow molding cavity is formed between the first mold cavity 8001, the second mold cavity 9001 and the bottom mold core 1001. And the preform 6 is located in the corresponding blow molding cavity. Then, control the external air pumping device to pump air into the air conveying channel in the blowing tube 5, so that the air flow blows into the preform 6, so that the preform 6 is inflated until the outer wall of the preform 6 fits the blow molding cavity. At the same time, the blowing tube 5 is separated from the preform 6, so as to complete the molding of the plastic bottle. Then, control the lifting platform 2 to move upward, so that the lower pressing plate 211 and the blowing tube 5 move upward until the blowing tube 5 exits from the through hole 1101. The formed plastic bottle remains in the blow molding cavity. At this time, the inclined part 21101 of the lower pressing plate 211 is separated from the extrusion block 21201 of the sliding plate 212. The sliding plate 212 loses the extrusion of the lower pressing plate 211. Thus, under the action of the spring between the sliding plate 212 and the top plate 11, the sliding plate 212 moves backward and resets, so as to cover the through hole 1101 and cut off the connection between the through hole 1101 and the outside air. Subsequently, it is necessary to cool down the formed plastic bottle. The conventional cooling method for plastic bottles is usually to cool the plastic bottles through the mold, that is, it is necessary to first cool the mold itself with cold water, and then indirectly cool the plastic through the contact between the mold and the plastic bottle.This increases the distance and time of heat transfer, so the cooling rate is slow. Therefore, the two driving members 201 are controlled to drive the adjacent first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9 to move away from each other. When a gap is generated between the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9, the movement can be stopped. In this way, both the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9 are separated from the formed plastic bottle, and there is a gap between them and the formed plastic bottle. Moreover, by the protruding portion 9002 being stuck in the adjacent groove 8002, the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9 are still in a sealed state. At this time, the air collecting hole 1002 and the exhaust hole 1103 are both communicated with the blow molding cavity. Subsequently, a low-temperature air flow is conveyed into the third communication cavity 1102 through an external air storage device. Thus, the air flow blows downward into the blow molding cavity through the exhaust hole 1103, filling the gap between the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9 and the plastic bottle with gas. Then the gas continues to flow downward to the air collecting hole 1002, and then converges into the first communication cavity 1003, and finally is discharged from the first communication cavity 1003 into the air storage tank 206. The blown gas is recovered through the air storage tank 206, and then transmitted to the external air storage device again. The recovered gas is cooled again by the external air storage device, so as to reduce energy loss. In this way, compared with the method of cooling the plastic bottle through the mold, by directly blowing the low-temperature gas onto the surface of the formed plastic bottle, the heat on the surface of the plastic bottle is directly taken away, reducing the distance and time of heat transfer, thereby increasing the cooling speed of the formed plastic bottle, achieving the effect of quickly cooling and reducing the temperature of the plastic bottle. At the same time, the flow rate and temperature of the low-temperature air flow can be controlled, so as to meet the different cooling rate requirements of the plastic bottle and improve the production efficiency of the plastic bottle.

[0044] When the cooling and temperature reduction of the plastic bottle are completed, the conventional feeding method of the plastic bottle is to first control the mold to open, then suck the bottom of the plastic bottle through an external moving suction cup, and then move the plastic bottle to the external conveyor belt. In this way, the external moving suction cup requires time during the processes of moving, aligning, and sucking the plastic bottle, thus reducing the feeding efficiency of the plastic bottle. Therefore, when the cooling and temperature reduction of the plastic bottle are completed, the second electric slider 205 is controlled to move downward on the second slide rail 204, so that the bottom plate 10, the bottom die core 1001, and the formed plastic bottle move downward until the plastic bottle disengages from between the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9. Then the first electric slider 203 is controlled to move leftward on the first slide rail 202, driving the plastic bottle to move leftward. In this way, the plastic bottle on the bottom plate 10 is taken away by the external unloading unit on the left side of the bottom frame 1, realizing the feeding of the plastic bottle. Compared with the conventional feeding method of the plastic bottle, by controlling the bottom die core 1001 on the bottom plate 10 to support and move the plastic bottle, the operations of using an additional external suction cup to move, align, and suck the plastic bottle are eliminated, thereby improving the production efficiency of the plastic bottle.

[0045] During the process of cooling the plastic bottle with a low-temperature air flow, the low-temperature air flow will simultaneously blow towards the inner surfaces of the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9, so that the temperatures of the inner surfaces of the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9 are synchronously reduced. When the bottom plate 10 drives the plastic bottle to move downward for blanking operation, the bottoms of the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9 are in an open state. In the case of high humidity in the external environment, it is very easy to occur the condensation phenomenon, that is, the water vapor in the air easily contacts the inner surfaces of the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9 through the bottoms of the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9. Thus, the low temperature of the inner surfaces of the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9 will condense the water vapor in the air, and water droplets will adhere to the inner surfaces of the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9. In this way, when the subsequent preform 6 is blow molded, it is easy to cause defects on the surface of the plastic bottle. Therefore, the communication between the through hole 1101 and the external air is blocked by the slide plate 212, so as to prevent the water vapor in the external air from entering the interiors of the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9 through the through hole 1101. Moreover, the protrusion 9002 is stuck in the adjacent groove 8002, so as to block the water vapor in the external air from entering between the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9 from the left and right sides of the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9, so that only the bottom between the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9 is in an open state. In this state, a low-temperature air flow is conveyed into the third communication cavity 1102 by an external air storage device, and the air flow continuously blows downward until it blows out of the bottoms of the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9, so as to block the water vapor in the external air from entering the interiors through the bottoms of the first blow molding die 8 and the second blow molding die 9 and cause the condensation phenomenon, thereby avoiding the condensed water droplets from affecting the molding quality of the surface of the plastic bottle.

[0046] During the process of feeding plastic bottles, to prevent the plastic bottles from accidentally detaching from the bottom plate 10 during movement, which may lead to feeding failure, when the bottom plate 10 moves downward, an external air extraction device is used to extract air from the second communication cavity 1004, making the air pressure in the second communication cavity 1004 lower than that in the sealing cavity 1005. Since the snap ring portion 20701 is located at the connection between the second communication cavity 1004 and the sealing cavity 1005, when there is a pressure difference between the upper and lower sides of the snap ring portion 20701, the snap ring portion 20701 slides downward under the action of the pressure difference. At the same time, the first elastic member 208 is compressed, driving the slide rod 207 and the top block 209 to move downward, so that the top block 209 retracts downward into the sealing cavity 1005 and disengages from the bottom of the plastic bottle. In this way, the second communication cavity 1004 and the sealing cavity 1005 are connected, and at the same time, the sealing cavity 1005 and the bottom of the plastic bottle are connected. As the external air extraction device continues to extract air, the second communication cavity 1004 and the sealing cavity 1005 are in a negative pressure state, and the plastic bottle is firmly adsorbed on the bottom die core 1001 through negative pressure, avoiding the situation of the plastic bottle detaching from the bottom plate 10 during movement and causing feeding failure, and improving the stability of the feeding operation. Until the plastic bottle moves to the external unloading unit, the external air extraction device is controlled to perform an inflation operation, so that the air pressure in the second communication cavity 1004 and the sealing cavity 1005 returns to the same as the external air pressure. The negative pressure adsorption effect in the second communication cavity 1004 disappears, and at the same time, the first elastic member 208 returns to its original state, causing the slide rod 207 and the top block 209 to move upward and reset to the initial position. In this way, it is convenient for the external unloading unit to remove the plastic bottle from the bottom plate 10. On this basis, during the upward movement and reset of the slide rod 207, the snap ring portion 20701 is synchronously driven to move upward until the snap ring portion 20701 is stuck at the connection between the sealing cavity 1005 and the second communication cavity 1004. Since the diameter of the snap ring portion 20701 is set to be larger than the maximum diameter of the sealing cavity 1005, the upward movement of the snap ring portion 20701 is restricted, ensuring that the slide rod 207 and the top block 209 do not protrude from the surface of the bottom die core 1001 under normal conditions and guaranteeing the forming quality of the plastic bottle.

[0047] Further, during the process of plastic product molding, there is a situation where the plastic bottle adheres firmly to the surface of the bottom die core 1001. Therefore, before the external unloading unit picks up the plastic bottle, by controlling the external air extraction device to pump air into the second communication cavity 1004, and at the same time filling the cavity 20702 with air, the air pressure in the second communication cavity 1004 and the cavity 20702 increases, so that the top block 209 moves upward, and the second elastic member 210 is compressed. In this way, the top block 209 protrudes from the upper surface of the bottom die core 1001, and the plastic bottle is pushed upward by the top block 209, so that the plastic bottle is separated from the bottom die core 1001. Thus, when the external unloading unit picks up the plastic bottle, by pushing upward with the top block 209, it is convenient for the plastic bottle to be unloaded, and the blanking efficiency is improved.

[0048] Embodiment 2

[0049] On the basis of Embodiment 1, as Figure 3 and Figure 9 shown, it further includes an air inlet pipe 301 and an annular pipe 302; a ring groove 1006 is provided on the outside of each bottom die core 1001; the air inlet pipe 301 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 10; four annular pipes 302 are communicated with the air inlet pipe 301; each annular pipe 302 is located in the adjacent ring groove 1006; the air inlet pipe 301 is communicated with the air storage tank 206 through a hose; a number of annularly arranged air blowing holes are provided on the annular pipe 302.

[0050] Since the surface temperature of the plastic bottle is relatively low under the cooling of the low-temperature gas, when the plastic bottle is exposed to the air after cooling, water droplets will inevitably condense on the surface of the plastic bottle. Therefore, when the plastic bottle is cooled in the blow molding cavity, the low-temperature gas absorbs the temperature of the plastic bottle and the mold surface, and its temperature rises. Subsequently, the heated gas is stored in the air storage tank 206. When the plastic bottle is cooled, the bottom plate 10 drives the plastic bottle to move downward. At this time, control the air storage tank 206 to pump air flow into the air inlet pipe 301 through the hose, so that the air flow blows upward through a number of annular air blowing holes on the annular pipe 302, and the air flow continuously blows along the periphery of the plastic bottle, so as to form an annular air curtain between the surface of the plastic bottle and the external air, thereby blocking the direct contact between the water vapor in the external air and the surface of the plastic bottle, and blowing the gas with a higher temperature in the air storage tank 206 to the body of the plastic bottle, so that the surface temperature of the plastic bottle starts to rise, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of dew condensation on the surface of the plastic bottle, and thus avoiding affecting the subsequent label fitting quality.

Any equivalent replacement made within the principles of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
