- the preform 10 is stretched by so-called free blow molding without performing molding on the mold (blow molding mold), and the first molding intermediate is formed. 11 is assumed. At this time, the size of the first molding intermediate 11 is 1.2 to 5.2 times the length of the body of the preform 10 from the viewpoint of preventing unevenness in the first molding intermediate 11.

- the temperature is about the same as the temperature of the preform 10 at the time of blow molding (temperature of the preform 10 ⁇ 5 ° C.) to the temperature raised by the shear heat generation at the time of stretching described above. It is preferable that the temperature is set higher by (for example, the temperature of the preform 10 + about 20 ° C.).
- blow molding can be performed in the cavity space formed by the blow molding die, so that the pressure of the blow air for forming the first molding intermediate 11 is set appropriately high. It is also possible to change the pressure to be removed accordingly.

- the final product is softened.
- the crystallinity of the container M may be increased by increasing the mold temperature within a range that does not become low, or the residual strain may be reduced.
- the present invention is not limited to such a container shape, and various container shapes can be used. Even when a synthetic resin container is manufactured, the inner surface shape of the blow mold 1 can be well shaped and molded into a predetermined container shape with good moldability. Further, in this case, since the amount of processing is reduced by the absence of pressing by the projecting portions 30 of the cavity molds 3a and 3b for forming the depressions, a synthetic resin container having further reduced residual strain and excellent heat resistance can be obtained. It can be formed.

Abstract
Description
また、このような合成樹脂製の容器のなかでも比較的に容量の大きいものにあっては、その持ち運びを容易にするために、容器胴部に深く窪ませた把持用凹部を形成したものが知られている(例えば、特許文献2参照)。
しかしながら、内部残留応力を加熱により除去することで熱結晶化は進み、硬めになった二次中間成形品は、二次ブロー成形の際の賦形性が低下してしまう。そのため、角隅をくっきり賦形させる必要のある容器や、微細な凹凸や大きな凹部を賦形させる必要のある容器については、二次ブローエアーの圧力を高めるなどして対応していた。
しかしながら、このような可動入子を設けたブロー成形型は、型構造が複雑となってしまい、その調整やメンテナンスに手間を要していた。このため、容器胴部に深く窪んだ形状であっても、可動入子を設けることなく、ブロー成形型の内面形状を賦形するだけで成形できるようにすることが望まれる。
ここで、図1は、本実施形態に係る合成樹脂製容器の製造方法を好適に実施できる装置の一例を示す説明図である。また、図2は、図1のX-X矢視図であり、図1は、図2のY-Y断面図に相当する。
これらの図に示す装置において、ブロー成形型1は、1本のプリフォーム10に対して、ブローエアーを吹き込むブローノズルとしての役割と、当該プリフォーム10を支持する治具としての役割とを兼ね備えたマンドレル5と、このマンドレル5に支持されたプリフォーム10を型閉め位置で固定する固定型2a,2bと、キャビティ型3a,3bと、ベース型4とを少なくとも備えている。
一次ブロー工程では、予め用意された熱可塑性樹脂からなる有底筒状のプリフォーム10をブロー成形によって第一成形中間体11とする。
熱可塑性樹脂としては、ブロー成形が可能であれば、任意の樹脂を使用することができる。具体的には、ポリエチレンテレフタレート,ポリブチレンテレフタレート,ポリエチレンナフタレート,ポリカーボネート,ポリアリレート,ポリ乳酸又はこれらの共重合体などの熱可塑性ポリエステル,これらの樹脂あるいは他の樹脂とブレンドされたものなどが好適である。特に、ポリエチレンテレフタレートなどのポリエステル系樹脂が、好適に使用される。また、アクリロニトリル樹脂,ポリプロピレン,プロピレン-エチレン共重合体,ポリエチレンなども使用することができる。これらの樹脂材料には、公知の結晶核剤,酸素吸収剤などの機能性材料を適宜添加してもよい。
なお、プリフォーム10の開口部近傍は、通常、ほとんど延伸されずに、そのまま容器の口部となるように形成されている。以下の説明では、このようなプリフォーム10の開口部近傍をノズル部といい、ノズル部以外の部位を胴部という。
収縮工程では、一次ブロー工程でプリフォーム10を延伸させて形成した第一成形中間体11内のブローエアー圧を除圧させることにより(図4(a)参照)、第一成形中間体11を収縮させて第二成形中間体12とする(図4(b)参照)。
なお、図4は、収縮工程の一例についての工程図である。
このような従来技術に対して、本実施形態では、成形ステーションに設置された一組のブロー成形型1だけを用いて当該成形ステーションに1本のプリフォーム10を供給し、型開き状態で待機する当該ブロー成形型1の型間(図示する例では、型開き状態で待機するキャビティ型3a,3bの間)で一次ブロー工程を行って第一成形中間体11を形成し、第一成形中間体11がマンドレル5に支持された状態のままの場所を移すことなく収縮工程を行って第二成形中間体12としてから、ブロー成形型1を型閉めして後述する二次ブロー工程を行うようにして、上記各工程が行われる位置とブロー成形型1との相対的な位置関係が変動しないようにしている。このため、上記したような従来技術で行っていた冷却固化や、再加熱の工程を省略してエネルギー効率を高めることができ、さらには、第一成形中間体11や第二成形中間体12を各工程間で搬送する手間を省略するとともに、装置の簡素化、省スペース化などが可能となる。
なお、図4に示す例では、第一成形中間体11の径方向(幅方向)について収縮させた例を示しているが、第一成形中間体11の高さ方向についても適宜収縮させるようにしてもよい。
なお、外部からの加熱を省略することで、エネルギー的にも効率的である。
二次ブロー工程では、第二成形中間体12をブロー成形型1内に収めて、その状態で改めてブロー成形に処することにより、ブロー成形型1の内面形状を賦形して所定の容器形状に成形する。
なお、本実施形態では、固定型2a,2bとベース型4は、前述した一次ブロー工程において、型閉め位置で待機する状態となっているが、例えば、第一成形中間体11を高さ方向にも大きく膨らませた後、収縮させる場合は、ベース型4を適宜移動させてもよい。
なお、図5に示す例では、ブローエアーを吹き込む際に、プレスロッド6を上動させてベース型4との位置(図5では下端位置)を合わせているが、このとき、ブローエアーが吹き込まれるよりも前に、プレスロッド6が上動するのと同期させてストレッチロッド7をさらに上動させるようにしてもよい。このようにすることで、押圧変形された後の第二成形中間体12の底部をさらに延伸することが可能となり、容器底部の薄肉化を図ることができる。
その後、固定型2a,2b、キャビティ型3a,3b、ベース型4をそれぞれ型開き位置に移動してブロー成形型1の型開きを行ってから、成形された容器Mを取り出す(図5(d)参照)。
また、その場合、窪みを形成するためのキャビティ型3a,3bの突状部30による押圧がない分、加工量が低減するため、残留歪みが更に低減し耐熱性により優れた合成樹脂製容器が形成可能となる。
