发明名称 Manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus of screw-threaded bottle-can
摘要 A manufacturing method for a screw-threaded bottle-can including the steps of: forming a shoulder part, a pipe part, a tapered part and an aperture-end part above a trunk part; and forming a screw-thread part by an inner mold and an outer mold in which the pipe part is sandwiched therebetween. An outer diameter of the pipe part is formed to an intermediate diameter between a ridge diameter and a bottom diameter of the screw-thread part. The screw-thread part is formed from the tapered part to the pipe part so as to form a screw-starting part at an intermediate position of the tapered part. A height of a first step of a right-hand screw-type protrusion of the inner mold is formed to be lower than a height of a second and subsequent steps in an angle range of 90° circumferentially continuing from the screw-starting part.

主权项 1. A manufacturing method of a screw-threaded bottle-can, comprising: an intermediate-formed product forming process forming an intermediate-formed product having a shoulder part which is gradually tapered upward from an upper end of a trunk part, a neck part which is extended upward from an upper end of the shoulder part having a cylindrical shape, a surplus-thickness part which is swelled out as a protrusion streak or swelled in as a recessed groove round an upper end part of the neck part, a pipe part which is extended upward from an upper end of the surplus-thickness part, and a tapered part which is tapered from an upper end of the pipe part toward an aperture-end part; and a screw-forming process using a screw-forming tool provided with: an inner mold having a right-hand screw-type protrusion and an inner-mold swell part swelling outward around a lower part of the right-hand screw-type protrusion; and an outer mold having a left-hand screw-type protrusion and an outer-mold swell part swelling outward around a lower part of the left-hand screw-type protrusion, arranging the inner mold inside the pipe part and the surplus-thickness part and arranging the outer mold outside the pipe part and the surplus-thickness part, interposing the surplus-thickness part and a vicinity of the pipe part between the inner mold and the outer mold, and rolling the screw-forming tool in the interposing state, in a circumferential direction of the pipe part while revolving in a left-hand direction by seeing from the aperture end toward a bottom part of the intermediate-formed product so that a screw-thread part and a jaw part swelling outward around a lower part of the screw-thread part are formed on the intermediate-formed product; wherein in the intermediate-formed product forming process, an outer diameter of the pipe part is formed to have an intermediate outer diameter between an outer diameter of a screw-ridge and an outer diameter of a screw-bottom of the screw-thread part after the screw-forming process; the screw-forming tool is provided to form larger clearances than a plate-thickness of the intermediate-formed product between the right-hand screw-type protrusion of the inner mold and a screw-bottom of the left-hand screw-type protrusion of the outer mold and between a screw-bottom of the right-hand screw-type protrusion of the inner mold and the left-hand screw-type protrusion of the outer mold in the interposing state in the screw-forming process; in the screw-thread part after the screw-forming process, an average height is set as “h” of the screw-ridge from the adjacent screw-bottom in a prescribed area including a maximum diameter part; a screw-starting part is set at a position of 0° in which a height of the screw-ridge from the adjacent screw-bottom is 0.5h above the screw-thread part; and a second-step starting part is set at a position of 360° from the screw-starting part; in the right-hand screw-type protrusion of the inner mold, a part forming the second-step starting part of the screw-thread part is set as a second-step-starting forming part; in the screw-forming process, the screw-forming tool and the intermediate-formed product are arranged so that a bend part between the tapered part and the pipe part in a vertical cross-section of the intermediate-formed product along a can-axis direction in the screw-starting part is arranged between a screw-ridge of the second-step-starting forming part of the inner mold and a screw-bottom above the screw-ridge; the screw-ridge is formed so that an outer diameter thereof is increased in a range of 360° from the screw-starting part to the second-step starting part, and so that a height of the screw-ridge from the adjacent screw-bottom is more than 0.5h and less than “h” in a range of 90° from the screw-starting part; and the screw-starting part is formed at an intermediate position of the tapered part of the intermediate-formed product, and the screw-thread part is formed from the tapered part to the pipe part.
