Blow mold unit, blow molding machine and blow mold unit fixing method

摘要

A blow mold unit in which, when clamping first and second blow cavity split molds which are fixed to first and second fixing plates and bottom molds which are fixed to a bottom mold fixing plate, pressure receiving members fixed to the first and second fixing plates are brought into engagement with the bottom plate fixing plate. Guide plates are fixed to the bottom mold fixing plate, and guided members capable of being brought into abutment with the guide plates are supported by first and second pressure receiving plates. The bottom mold fixing plate includes a first connecting portion to be connected to a bottom mold opening/closing unit and a second connecting portion to be connected to a moving and biasing member.

主权项

1. A blow mold unit comprising:
first and second blow cavity split molds to be clamped together by bringing their parting faces into abutment with each other; a plurality of bottom molds defining a plurality of bottom shapes for a plurality of cavities which are defined by the first and second blow cavity split molds; first pressure receiving plates respectively fixed to both side faces of the first blow cavity split mold, which are located at both ends in a first direction along a direction in which the plurality of cavities are aligned; second pressure receiving plates respectively fixed to both side faces of the second blow cavity split mold and brought into abutment with the first pressure receiving plates when the first and second blow cavity split molds are clamped together; a first fixing plate to which the first blow cavity split mold and the first pressure receiving plates are fixed; a second fixing plate to which the second blow mold and the second pressure receiving plates are fixed; a bottom mold fixing plate to which the plurality of bottom molds are fixed; pressure receiving members respectively fixed to the first and second fixing plates and brought into engagement with the bottom mold fixing plate when the first and second blow cavity split molds are clamped together to receive a blowing pressure exerted on the bottom molds; guide plates respectively fixed to the bottom mold fixing plate at both end portions in the first direction; and guided members respectively supported by the first and second pressure receiving plates at both end portions in the first direction and capable of being brought into abutment with the guide plates when the bottom molds are in a closed position, wherein the bottom mold fixing plate includes,
a first connecting portion to be connected to a bottom mold opening/closing unit which is to be driven by a clamping mechanism provided to a blow molding machine; anda second connecting portion to be connected to a moving and biasing member which is provided to the blow molding machine and moves and biases the bottom mold fixing plate, which is in the closed position, in a direction in which the bottom molds are closed.
