Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blow molding equipment technology, and in particular to a dual-station blow molding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Blow molding, also known as hollow blow molding or extrusion blow molding, is a method for manufacturing hollow thermoplastic parts. The raw materials are heated and melted through an extrusion device, and the plastic preform is finally extruded into the corresponding mold. Then, it is blown and shaped by blow molding equipment. Common blow-molded objects include bottles, barrels, cans, boxes, and all containers for packaging food, beverages, cosmetics, medicines, and daily necessities.

[0003] However, ordinary blow molding machines typically have only one station, meaning they only have one set of mold clamping devices. In actual use, the extrusion unit needs to wait for the mold clamping device and the blowing device to operate, which results in the extrusion unit being unable to work continuously, reducing the utilization rate of the extrusion unit and also reducing the factory's production efficiency.

The distance between the two limiting blocks 23 is smaller than the distance between the two limiting blocks 20, and the distance between the limiting blocks 23 is smaller than the overall diameter of the bottle. When the pusher 19 pushes the plastic bottle out of the through groove from the tray 17, since the diameter of the plastic bottle is larger than the distance between the two limiting blocks 23, the limiting blocks 23 will lift the entire plastic bottle. A collection box 24 is set below the limiting blocks 23 and is installed on the machine body 1. As more and more plastic bottles are completed, the plastic bottles on the limiting blocks 23 will be pushed into the collection box 24 one by one due to the pusher 19.

[0024] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: When the left mold assembly 406 is feeding into the extrusion device 3, the right mold assembly 406 is positioned directly below the right feeding assembly 408 for feeding. When the right mold assembly 406 moves to the feeding position of the extrusion device 3, the left mold assembly 406 is positioned directly above the left feeding assembly 408 for feeding. This greatly increases the utilization rate of the extrusion device 3 and the production efficiency in the factory.
