Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A liquid blow molding device and a liquid blow molding method are configured to supply pressurized liquid to a preform mounted to a mold to mold the preform into a shape along a cavity of the mold, and includes a blow nozzle fitted into a mouth portion of the preform, a plunger pump configured to supply pressurized liquid to the preform through the blow nozzle and a controller configured to control operation of the plunger pump. The controller controls operation of the plunger pump by position control in which a plunger of the plunger pump is moved from an original position to a predetermined final position with a predetermined operating force.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A liquid blow molding device configured to supply pressurized liquid to a bottomed tubular preform mounted to a blow molding mold to form the preform into a shape along a cavity of the mold, comprising: a blow nozzle configured to be fitted into a mouth portion of the preform; a plunger pump configured to supply pressurized liquid to the preform through the blow nozzle; and a controller configured to control operation of the plunger pump, wherein the controller controls operation of the plunger pump, during supplying of the pressurized liquid to the preform for stretching the preform, by position control in which a plunger of the plunger pump is moved from an original position with a predetermined operating force by operating a motor at a predetermined torque, and is stopped at a predetermined final position and held to the final position for a predetermined time period, and not by torque control in which the plunger is first operated with a predetermined operating force for a predetermined time period until a blow pressure of liquid exceeds a predetermined value, and then the operating force is changed. 2. The liquid blow molding device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the plunger pump such that, after moving the plunger from the original position to the final position with the predetermined operating force and returning the plunger from the final position by a predetermined return distance, holding the plunger to a position where the plunger is returned for a predetermined time period. 3. The liquid blow molding device according to claim 1 , wherein the plunger pump is a servo plunger type in which an electric motor is used as a driving source, and the controller controls operation of the electric motor. 4. The liquid blow molding device according to claim 1 , comprising a seal body configured to open/close the blow nozzle, wherein when open operation of the seal body is started, supply of pressurized liquid from the plunger pump into the preform is started.
