Abstract

A mold includes a position adjustment mechanism that receives a shaft portion extending from a cavity mold, which accommodates a preform, and adjusts a position where the cavity mold is held on a plane intersecting an extending direction of the shaft portion. The position adjustment mechanism includes a first member in which a linear cam hole that receives the shaft portion is formed, and a second member that is disposed to overlap the first member in the extending direction of the shaft portion and rotates with respect to the first member along a plane. The second member has an elongated hole that intersects the cam hole in a direction of the plane and positions the shaft portion together with the cam hole. Further, a position where the cam hole and the elongated hole intersect each other moves along a longitudinal direction of the cam hole by rotation of the second member.

Claims (24)

1. A mold comprising a position adjustment mechanism that receives a shaft portion extending from a cavity mold, which accommodates a preform, and adjusts a position where the cavity mold is held on a plane intersecting an extending direction of the shaft portion,

wherein the position adjustment mechanism includes:

a first member in which a linear cam hole that receives the shaft portion is formed; and

a second member disposed to overlap the first member in the extending direction of the shaft portion and rotates with respect to the first member along the plane,

the second member includes an elongated hole that intersects the cam hole in a direction of the plane and positions the shaft portion together with the cam hole, and

a position where the cam hole and the elongated hole intersect each other is moved along a longitudinal direction of the cam hole by rotation of the second member.

2. The mold according to claim 1 , wherein

the second member rotates about a position shifted from a center of the cam hole as a rotation axis.

3. The mold according to claim 2 , wherein

one member of the first member and the second member has a columnar protrusion eccentric from a center of the one member in the direction of the plane,

another member of the first member and the second member has a bottomed cylindrical recess that receives the protrusion rotatably, and

the second member rotates about the protrusion and the recess as the rotation axis.

4. The mold according to claim 3 , wherein

the one member of the first member and the second member has an elastically deformable locking piece on an outer periphery of the protrusion,

the another member of the first member and the second member has receiving portions each of which receives the locking piece on an inner periphery of the recess at a plurality of positions in a circumferential direction, and

a rotation position of the second member with respect to the first member is positioned as the locking piece is locked to the receiving portion.

5. The mold according to claim 1 , wherein

the cavity mold is a temperature adjustment mold that adjusts a temperature of the preform having residual heat from injection molding, and

a distance of the temperature adjustment mold from the preform is adjusted by adjusting a position of the shaft portion.

6. A blow molding apparatus comprising:

an injection molding part configured to perform injection molding of a preform made of a resin;

a temperature adjustment part configured to adjust a temperature of the preform having residual heat from the injection molding; and

a blow molding part configured to blow-mold the preform in a state after the temperature adjustment to manufacture a resin container,

wherein the temperature adjusting part includes the mold according to claim 5 .
