Abstract
In a blow-molding apparatus, a cooling device and a heating device are each driven by being supplied with electricity of a predetermined voltage from a supply power source. The blow-molding apparatus comprises: a monitoring device configured to constantly monitor fluctuation of the predetermined voltage; and an output automatic control mechanism configured to, in a case where the predetermined voltage monitored by the monitoring device fluctuates beyond a normal range, automatically fluctuate an output of at least one of the heating device and the cooling device to keep the output in a certain range, thereby adjusting at least one of the preform temperature and the ambient temperature to fall within a normal temperature range.
Claims5
A blow-molding apparatus comprising:
- a preform temperature adjustment apparatus which performs temperature adjustment by performing temperature processing on an injection-molded-preform by
- a heating device configured to heat the preform to increase a preform temperature and
- a cooling device configured to cool the preform to reduce the preform temperature, wherein
- the preform subjected to the temperature adjustment is sent to a blow-molding device, wherein
- the cooling device and the heating device are each driven by being supplied with electricity of a predetermined voltage from a supply power source, and
- the blow-molding apparatus further comprising:
- a monitoring device configured to constantly monitor at least one of fluctuation in the predetermined voltage, the preform temperature, and an ambient temperature;
- and an output automatic control mechanism configured to, in a case where the predetermined voltage monitored by the monitoring device fluctuates beyond a normal range or a case where an abnormality occurs in blow-molding of the preform due to fluctuation in at least one value of the preform temperature and the ambient temperature, automatically fluctuate an output of at least one of the cooling device and the heating device to keep the output in a certain range, thereby adjusting at least one of the preform temperature and the ambient temperature to fall within a normal temperature range, and
- wherein, the monitoring device controls the display of at least one of a first screen or a second screen on a display device,
- wherein, in the first screen, a graph is displayed indicating a correspondence between a change in ambient temperature caused by the heating device in an injection molding cycle, a change in temperature of preforms in a number of injection batches in the injection molding cycle, and a change in temperature of preforms to be blow molded in blow molding cycle,
- wherein, in the second screen, a graph is displayed indicating a correspondence between a voltage change in the injection molding cycle and the change in temperature of preforms in the number of injection batches in the injection molding cycle.
