Blow molding apparatus and blow molding method
A temperature adjustment part is configured to stretch a preform by moving a temperature adjustment rod toward a bottom surface portion (lower body portion) side of a body portion by a predetermined distance, after inserting the temperature adjustment rod into the preform to bring the temperature adjustment rod into contact with an inner surface of the body portion of the preform other than a boundary portion between the body portion and a neck portion.
1. A blow molding apparatus comprising:
an injection molding part configured to injection-mold a preform including a neck portion and a bottomed body portion continuous from the neck portion;
a temperature adjustment part including a temperature adjustment mold accommodating the preform and a temperature adjustment rod to be inserted into the preform, the temperature adjustment part configured to perform a temperature adjustment treatment to the preform by bringing the temperature adjustment rod into contact with an inner surface of the preform while accommodating the preform in the temperature adjustment mold in a non-contact manner; and
a blow molding part configured to blow-mold the preform to form a resin container,
wherein the temperature adjustment part is configured to stretch the body portion by moving the temperature adjustment rod toward a bottom surface portion side of the body portion by a predetermined distance, after inserting the temperature adjustment rod into the preform to bring the temperature adjustment rod into contact with an inner surface of the body portion other than a boundary portion between the body portion and the neck portion.
2. The blow molding apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the temperature adjustment part is configured to stretch the body portion by moving the temperature adjustment rod within a range where the preform does not come into contact with the temperature adjustment mold.
3. The blow molding apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the temperature adjustment rod is adjusted to a temperature lower than that of the preform when the preform is accommodated in the temperature adjustment mold.
4. The blow molding apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the temperature adjustment part is configured to stretch the body portion by moving the temperature adjustment rod by the predetermined distance after maintaining a state where the temperature adjustment rod is in contact with the inner surface of the body portion for a predetermined time.
5. A blow molding method comprising:
injection-molding a preform including a neck portion and a bottomed body portion continuous from the neck portion;
performing a temperature adjustment treatment to the preform by bringing a temperature adjustment rod into contact with an inner surface of the preform while accommodating the preform in a temperature adjustment mold in a non-contact manner; and
blow-molding the preform,
wherein during the temperature adjustment, the body portion is stretched by moving the temperature adjustment rod toward a bottom surface portion side of the body portion by a predetermined distance, after the temperature adjustment rod inserted into the preform is brought into contact with an inner surface of the body portion other than a boundary portion between the body portion and the neck portion.
