Abstract
A blow molding machine 1 has a blow molding section 10, an ejection section 20, and a delivery unit 100. In order to deliver a plurality of containers B to a device 200 of a post-process subsequent to the blow molding machine, the delivery unit includes a rail for holding, delivering and guiding the plurality of containers, and an elevation block raised and lowered relative to the rail. The elevation block includes a plurality of blades, an endless member to which the plurality of blades are fixed at a blow molding pitch, and a drive portion for driving the endless member to run.
Claims15
A blow molding machine, comprising:
- a blow molding section for blow molding a plurality of containers within a blow cavity mold which has been mold clamped;
- and
- an ejection section for holding the plurality of containers, while maintaining a blow molding pitch, and ejecting the plurality of containers from the blow cavity mold, which has been mold opened, to an ejection position outside the blow cavity mold,
- the blow molding machine further comprising a delivery unit for delivering the plurality of containers located at the ejection position to a post-process subsequent to the blow molding machine,
- wherein the delivery unit includes
- a rail for holding, delivering and guiding the plurality of containers, and
- an elevation block raised and lowered relative to the rail, and
- the elevation block includes
- a plurality of blades,
- an endless member having the plurality of blades fixed thereto at the blow molding pitch, and
- a drive portion for driving the endless member to run.
A blow molding machine, comprising:
- an injection molding section for injection molding a plurality of preforms;
- and
- a blow molding section for stretch blow molding a predetermined number of the preforms, at a time, into containers,
- the blow molding machine further comprising
- a transport section including an intermittent transport section for intermittently transporting the predetermined number of preforms along a transport path,
- a transfer section for gripping the predetermined number of preforms being transported on the transport path by the intermittent transport section, and transferring the predetermined number of preforms to the blow molding section,
- a discharge section, provided downstream of the transfer section on the transport path, for discharging the preforms from the transport path, and
- change means for making a change in at least one of an injection molding cycle time and a blow molding cycle time, and making a change in a transport speed of the preform by the transport section in accordance with the change,
- wherein if some of the plurality of preforms go beyond the transfer section at a timing, at which the transfer section transfers the preform to the blow molding section, in association with the changes by the change means, the transport section transports the predetermined number of preforms to the discharge section.
A blow molding machine, comprising:
- an injection molding section for injection molding a preform;
- and
- a blow molding section for stretch blow molding the preform into a container,
- the blow molding machine further comprising
- a cooling section for forcibly cooling the preform injection molded by the injection molding section, and
- a preform transport section having:
- an insertion portion to be inserted into a neck portion of the preform,
- a suction holding portion for sucking an interior of the preform, with the insertion portion being inserted into the neck portion of the preform, to hold the preform, and
- a grip mechanism portion equipped with an openable and closable chuck portion which grips the preform from outside the neck portion of the preform, wherein the preform transport section is adapted to transport the preform, which has been injection molded by the injection molding section, to the cooling section with the neck portion having the insertion portion therein, and with the neck portion being gripped by the chuck portion.
