To allow to increase the production capacity of conventional blow molding machines by using the space available within it, more specifically by using the available space in the direction of the nominal path of opening and closing the original distribution line for mold cavities of the blowing machine and through which it will be possible to increase the assembly in distribution lines for mold cavities, which will be located in parallel, in the direction of the nominal path of opening and closing the molds and, for that, the blowing mold as disclosed herewith incorporates an embodiment allowing joint displacement of equal side and intermediary halves composing mold cavities, so to neutralize the force tending to promote the opening of the halves of contiguous mold cavities, which is generated by the pneumatic pressure as introduced, by means of blowing pins, inside parisons which are located at the mold cavities, with no need to change the required compression force to keep closed the mold-bearing tables of the blowing machine.
1- A blowing mold comprising taking the idle nominal path capacity in the direction of opening and closing the mold in conventional blowing machines, which is made by the inclusion of distribution lines for mold cavities to be parallelly located in the direction of opening and closing of molds and to be located in quantity to be determined as a function of the thickness or diameter of the parts to be produced;
2- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising providing a central parison forming head, provided with two or more parison forming lines, located in parallel in the direction of opening and closing the mold, and two or more blowing pin lines, also located in parallel in the direction of opening and closing distribution lines for mold cavities.
3- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising preferably providing two pairs of blowing lines, being each pair located on each side with parison forming lines from the head, being also provided, in each parison forming line of the head and in association with each blowing pin line, with at least two parallel lines for mold cavity distribution, so that, at each full cycle of the blowing machine, at least two parts may be produced, no matter the implementations applied for each mold.
4- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising the inclusion of distribution lines for mold cavities;
5- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising the fact that its assemble may include more than two distribution lines for mold cavities and may be applied to any type of blowing machine.
6- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising the inclusion of distribution lines of cavities being preferably made in a blowing machine with flat table and multiple mold cavities, wherein, due to its large dimensional tolerance in the direction of opening and closing the molds, the force of closing mold cavities, as required to neutralize the pressure generated by the pneumatic pressure as produced inside parisons located in mold cavities, is not changed.
7- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising the simultaneous closing of side and intermediary halves of mold cavities, in the form of bellows, nulling forces generated by pneumatic pressure as produced inside parisons located in intermediary lines for mold cavities, just requiring to the production of maintenance force to close the side lines of mold cavities.
8- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising the distribution lines of mold cavities, located in parallel, in the direction of opening and closing the molds, having side halves of mold cavities rigidly joined to the intermediary halves equal to mold cavities, so that, when side halves of mold cavities are closed, intermediary halves of mold cavities are simultaneously closed.
9- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising the added distribution lines for mold cavities being located as if reproduced in parallel and sequentially in the same direction of opening and closing mold of the original blowing machine.
10- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising the fact that the quantity of distribution lines for mold cavities to be added may vary according to the dimension of the original nominal path of opening and closing the blowing machine and the longer dimension of the part to be blown, as measured in the direction of opening and closing the mold.
11- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising the intermediary distribution lines of mold cavities being parallel and projected over side distribution lines for mold cavities, not adding their sections in the crosswise direction to the direction of opening and closing molds, nulling the force as generated by the pneumatic pressure exerted inside the parisons as located in mold cavities of intermediary distribution lines.
12- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising the fact that equal side and intermediary halves of the distribution lines for mold cavities being rigidly joined together, allowing them to be jointly closed together.
13- The blowing mold of claim 12, comprising the equal side and intermediary halves of the distribution lines of mold cavities being joined together by means of wedges or any other appropriate means for this purpose, located in parallel, in the lower region of the mold-bearing table, which are located crosswise to the direction of opening and closing molds.
14- The blowing mold of claim 12, comprising the equal side and intermediary halves of the distribution lines of mold cavities being joined together by means of displacement guides, located in parallel, in the lower region of the mold-bearing table, which are located crosswise to the direction of opening and closing molds.
15- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising each distribution line for mold cavities having its mold cavities preferably located, under regular spaces among them, having the cavities of one distribution line for mold cavities preferably located crosswise to the cavities of another distribution line for mold cavities.
16- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising the quantity of distribution lines for mold cavities to be added in the direction of the nominal path of opening and closing molds being limited to meet the requirements of operation of the blow molding machine.
17- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising the quantity of distribution lines for mold cavities to be added in the direction of opening and closing molds allowing to produce blown parts, which dimensions may vary between the lower and higher limit of the nominal path in the direction of opening and closing molds, as originally designed for the blowing machine or near them.
18- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising the thickness of walls of side and intermediary halves of the mold cavities of distribution lines as added, and the measurements of the mold-bearing table components in the direction of the path of opening and closing the mold, being determined as a function of the longer dimension of the part to be blown, as measured in the direction of the path of opening and closing molds;
19- The blowing mold of claim 1, comprising the distribution lines of mold cavities as added having limits of areas confronting side and intermediary halves of mold cavities exactly the same as the confrontation areas of the original mold of the blowing machine, thus allowing to use the same acting means as used to activate the original mold of the blowing machine.
