  • Patent number: 11858188
    Abstract: An injection apparatus is configured to feed a molten resin into an injection molding section of an injection stretch blow molding machine. The injection apparatus uniformly melts a resin material while the duration from the time of starting plasticizing and kneading till completion of injection is shortened, thereby allowing the operation of the injection apparatus to fall within the time corresponding to the reduced injection molding process in the injection stretch blow molding machine. Thus, the molding cycle for a hollow body is reduced. In this context, at the start of the filling for each injection cycle, the injection apparatus starts plasticizing and kneading for generating the molten resin for injection in the next injection cycle.

  • Patent number: 11541591
    Abstract: When a hollow molded body using a preform to be molded with a thin bottom portion is produced while taking advantage of the roughening of the outer surface of an injection core mold, transferred roughening marks are prevented from appearing on the bottom portion of hollow molded bodies, so that the hollow molded body with an aesthetic bottom portion is obtained. An injection core mold (12) has an outer surface of its tip portion corresponding to a preform bottom portion (10) and a lower end portion (14a) of a preform body portion (14). The outer surface corresponding to the preform bottom portion (10) and the lower end portion (14a) of the preform body portion (14) is a mirror-finished surface (20), and the outer surface of the injection core mold for forming the preform other than the mirror-finished surface is a roughened surface (15).

  • Patent number: 11260576
    Abstract: An object is to provide an injection stretch blow molding machine and a method for molding a polyethylene container capable of molding a favorable hollow container even if its preform is released from an injection mold early. The injection stretch blow molding machine and the method for molding a polyethylene container molds a preform by injecting and filling a molten polyethylene resin into an injection mold, which includes a cavity mold and a core mold both cooled to a temperature range of 5° C. to 25° C., transfers the molded preform to a blow molding mold, and molds a hollow container by blowing the preform within a time range of ±2 sec from a point in time when a temperature of the preform reaches a first minimum point after a point in time when the injection mold completes being opened.

  • Patent number: 10953588
    Abstract: According to the present invention, in order to improve the productivity of an injection stretch blow molding machine, when a core mold is lifted during mold opening at an injection molding part of the injection stretch blow molding machine, stress is dispersed so as not to concentrate at an area where the thickness changes between a preform opening and a preform body so that the preform body is inhibited from being lifted at a skin layer formed in the area where the thickness changes between the preform opening and the preform body.

  • Publication number: 20180079122
    Abstract: The present invention enables injection by an injection device to be carried out in an early stage while obviating nozzle touch, and shortens the molding cycle of an injection stretch blow molding machine. In the present invention, an injection device 20, which is designed to perform injection when a value counted up by a timer reaches a set count value, is linked and fixed to a hot runner device 19 of an injection stretch blow molding machine 1. The count start point of the timer is set to: a stage in which a rotating plate rotates; a stage in which the rotating plate is made to stop rotating and is non-rotatably fixed; or a stage in which mold clamping of an upper mold and a lower mold begins.

  • Publication number: 20140359356
    Abstract: A storage unit stores information indicating the priority level of each of a plurality of virtual machines. When causing the plurality of virtual machines to perform their shutdown processes in parallel, a control unit selects a first virtual machine from the plurality of virtual machines with reference to the storage unit. In addition, the control unit selects a second virtual machine from virtual machines with lower priority level than the first virtual machine with reference to the storage unit. The control unit then reduces the amount of resources allocated to the selected second virtual machine and increases the amount of resources allocated to the first virtual machine using resources equivalent to the reduced amount of resources.
