摘要:
A single drive mechanism for simultaneously driving plungers of a plurality of metal molds in each of the sections by employing an output cost-efficient electric motor as a mechanism for driving the plungers. The novel plunger drive mechanism makes it possible to correctly and efficiently mold the articles without causing defect even when the glass material is fed in varying amounts into the metal molds. In molding a glass material thrown into the metal molds by moving the plungers forward, a mechanism moves the plungers forward with a predetermined torque and then backward. The mechanism includes a drive motor, a main gear, planetary bevel gears, a first driven wheel member, a second driven wheel member, a first drive pinion, a second drive pinion, a first main drive member, and a second main drive member.

摘要:
A plunger mechanism for forming a hollow article of glass in a "narrow neck press and blow" operation which utilizes an electro servo-driven leadscrew to actuate it. A position sensing resolver is used to determine the position of the plunger over the full range of its stroke, and the position information can be used as feedback to control the position of the plunger prior to contacting a molten gob of glass in a mold chamber. The depth of the plunger penetration into the molten gob is then controlled by the pressing pressure, which is a function of motor torque and screw mechanics. It is possible to control the pressure exerted on the molten glass gob by controlling the torque applied by the motor. A separate gob weight controller is not required because changes in gob weight can be determined by closely monitoring the plunger penetration of the gob.

In a process for shaping a gob in order to obtain a hollow glass article by means of an electronically-regulated and hydraulically-propelled level, the process of shaping the gob into a rough or finished product is rationally effected in a predefinable and in particular precisely reproducible manner by the fact that an electro-hydraulic servo-drive is used as a means for driving the level, and that the latter, during at least the practically total performance of the movement, is adjusted in position by means of a closed position-regulating circuit. In a device suited for this purpose the drive device of the level consists of an electro-hydraulic servo-drive and an electronic position-adjusting device for the at least approximately total movement of the level. Preferably the movement of the level in the glass article is also effected at a regulated speed and, ideally, the shaping stage is completed by a pressure-regulated forward movement of the level.

A punch assembly for producing hollow glass articles in a mold has a punch member, which is moved to and from the mold along a straight axis by an electric motor positioned eccentrically with respect to the straight axis and connected to the punch member by a rotary-to-linear motion conversion assembly, and a releasable angular connecting assembly interposed between the motor and the motion conversion assembly.

A sensor structured as a two-part oscillator is employed in a device for measuring the position of a movable operating member of a machine, such as a plunger in a glassware forming machine. The plunger is attached on a piston rod of a piston/cylinder unit cooperating with the measuring device for the continuous measurement of the position of the plunger during its stroke. The first part of the sensor is a resonance circuitry formed of a coil and a capacitor. The capacitor has first and second capacitor elements stationary relative to one another and a third capacitor element movable with the piston rod relative to the first and second elements. The resonance circuitry is disposed in the cylinder of the unit such that the resonance frequency of the resonance circuitry is variable in proportion to the change of capacitance of the capacitor in response to the change of the position of the piston rod relative to the cylinder. The second part of the sensor is isolated galvanically and separated mechanically from the first part thereof and includes a coupling coil disposed by a mounting plate of the machine adjacent to and inductively coupled with the coil of the resonance circuitry such that the coupling coil produces an output oscillation frequency of the sensor proportional to the resonance frequency of the resonance circuitry.

A device for inhibiting glass from falling into an annular cavity formed between a plunger piston and an inner piston telescopically journalled within a longitudinal cavity within the plunger piston includes a rigid sleeve mountable to the plunger piston, adjacent walls of the longitudinal cavity, so as to substantially fill the annular cavity. The sleeve is mountable into snug sliding relation with the inner piston.
摘要:
A hollow glass parison is formed by pressing a gob of molten glass in a mold cavity with a plunger which is moved in a linear direction by a leadscrew which is connected to the plunger and is driven by a servomotor. Actuation of the servomotor creates a rotation of the leadscrew which causes the plunger to advance in a linear direction from a first position until the plunger contacts the gob at a second position. The plunger then advances to press the gob in the mold cavity to form the gob into a parison. During movement of the plunger in the linear direction the position of the plunger is continually sensed with a position-sensing resolver which provides position information to a system controller which utilizes the position information to control the position of the plunger prior to contacting the gob in the mold cavity, the depth of plunger penetration into the gob of molten glass during pressing by controlling the pressing pressure, and the weight of the gob of molten glass.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a system for aligning and positioning a male mechanism—pneumatic or servo-electric—to be used at the blank station side of a section of a hollow glass forming machine. The system comprises a mechanism, comprising at least one plunger or a driving unit driven by a servomotor, a guide flange composed of an internal flange for retaining the mechanism in position, and an external flange.The system further comprises a base plate for supporting the mechanism. The plate is mounted on at least one guide bar, rigidly fixed to the resting face of the external flange and intended to allow the base plate to slide along a sliding direction substantially orthogonal to the plane wherein the external flange lies. The base plate rests on a height adjustment group, suspended to said upper plane and intended to move the plate along the guide.
