Control of plungers in glassware forming machines

A control system is described for controlling the movement of a plunger for use in forming parisons in a glassware manufacturing machine in which the plunger is driven between first and second positions by a pneumatic piston and cylinder device in which pressure sensors sense the pressure on opposite sides of the piston. An electronic signal processing system incorporates a memory in which a motion profile and force limits are stored and which receives through each cycle a feedback signal relating to the transducer position of the plunger and from the pressure sensors the pressure on opposite sides of the piston and which produces control signals for a solenoid driven proportional pneumatic valve in accordance with a repetitive algorithm which takes account of (a) the displacement of the plunger from the motion profile, (b) the velocity of the plunger as derived from the rate of change of its position, and (c) the force exerted on the plunger as derived from the pressure difference across the piston. In this way the valve supplies air to the piston and cylinder device to cause the plunger to move from rest at a first position, for a first period of time in a manner limited by the motion profile. Thereafter a first force limit is applied to the plunger. Movement during a second period of time is controlled in a manner limited by the reduction from the first force limit to a second force limit and during a third period of time is limited by the second force limit.

Method for forming glass products

FIELD: glass products manufacture. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to glass-forming machines for the manufacture of glass products, mainly small sizes, from drops of molten glass. The method for molding glass products includes setting the mold in a rotary rocker placed in the working area, loading a heated drop of molten glass into the mold, shaping it into a finished product, opening the mold, removing the finished product from it and cooling it. The molding of the product is carried out in one stage, for which, after placing the drop of molten glass in the mold, its inlet is closed with a pressing head. Shaping the finished product into a drop of molten glass is carried out by pressing by means of a mechanical action with a plunger on a drop of molten glass in a mold, in which a heat sink is placed. Then, the pressing head and the plunger are removed, the mold with the product is transferred from the working area to the cooling platform with air passage holes through which air is passed, after which the mold is opened after cooling the finished product.

Abstract A method of monitoring a glassware forming process Infra-red detector means (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 36) is used to provide a signal corresponding either to the presence or absence of hot glass at a selected position or positions in the machine. The signal is examined at a selected time in the cyclic process of the machine to ascertain whether the signal corresponds to the expected condition of the infra-red detector means (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 36) at the selected time, and emergency action is initiated in the event that the signal does not correspond to the expected condition of the infra-red detector means (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 36). The method may be used to ascertain whether the correct number of parisons has been removed from a blank station of the machine, to detect whether parisons formed at the blank station have a length exceeding a predetermined length, or to detect whether the correct number of articles of glassware have been removed from a shaping station of the machine at which the parisons formed at the blank station (A) are shaped.

Improvements in and relating to apparatus for the manufacture of blown glass articles

666,396. Making hollow glassware. WALLE, C. VAN DE., WALLE, E. VAN DE., and BONNEFOY, E. Dec. 15, 1947 [Jan. 9, 1940], No. 32966/47. Addition to 508,784. Class 56. A glass-blowing machine, according to the parent Specification, in which a charge of plastic glass is delivered to each table of a rotatable series, the tables each having an aperture which is obturated whilst the plastic glass is pressed to thin it over the table so that, when the obturator is removed, the glass sags through the aperture to permit a blowing-head to blow the glass into a split rotary mould which is appropriately brought into position, is provided with improvements in the means for obturating and thinning, rotating the moulds, cooling the tables and moulds, positioning the parts relatively to one another and removing the finished workpiece. As shown, the table 51 is pivoted on an axis 81 so that when it is raised by a cam 84, the part of the workpiece 85 projecting above the table is removed by a circular cutter 53, the workpiece being thus freed to fall over the discharge shoot 87. The empty table is then restored to horizontal position preparatory to receiving a charge of plastic glass which is fed by a curved shoot through an opening in the side of a cup 110 which is concentric with the aperture in the table and locates the glass accordingly. The obturator 58 is presented to the aperture by pneumatic pressure in a cylinder 88, the pneumatic control being effected by a slide valve 91, the slide rod 90 of which is operated by a bell crank 60, 60a and a stop 98. The obturator 58 and its actuating-means are mounted on an arm 12 carried by a ring 11 revoluble on the central vertical column of the machine, the arm being supported at its free end by a roller 73 and being normally pulled by a counterweight 103 so that it rests against the buffer 97. The bell crank 60, 60a carries a cam roller 63 at its free end which is provided with a pawl 61, the cam 64, which rotates with the assembly of ...
