Abstract

A petaloid base (14) for a self-standing container (10) has an approximately hemispherical underlying base contour and a plurality of ovoid foot formations (16) that interrupt and project from the underlying base contour to define a corresponding plurality of feet. Its shape resists stress cracking, maximises capacity relative to the height of the container and reduces the surface area the base and hence material usage in comparison with equivalent known designs.

Description

The petal-shaped base portion and this container that are used for the self-standing container
Technical field
The present invention relates to the self-standing container, more clearly relate to the petal-shaped base portion of this container.This container can be by such as plastic material blow moldings such as polyethylene terephthalates (PET).
Background technology
As understanding in this area, the composition that general tems " PET " comprises mainly comprises polyethylene terephthalate, but also can comprise other material.For example, suitable composition can comprise approximately 95% polyethylene terephthalate and 5% nylon.As known in the field, these materials can mix, and perhaps for example are arranged to different layers via multi-layer injection molding and post forming (overmoulding).
The pet container of blow molding is used as beverage bottle for a long time.Recently, they more are proposed as the keg of transportation, storage and distribution such as the beverages such as beer.The example of this keg is open in WO2007/064277.
The example of WO2007/064277 only as a setting technology provide: generalized concept of the present invention is not limited to any concrete purposes, material or the manufacture method of container.Yet the certain benefits of the present invention in the situation of the container of the blow molding of this thin-walled tended to be made by PET.In this specification sheets the present invention will be described in this case.
Early stage pet container has smooth hemispherical base portion, and is able to self-standing by independent base portion module is attached to base portion.Although the semisphere base portion is simple, light and isolating power is strong, adds independent base portion module and increased material and productive costs, and can hinder recovery.
Need not to rely on independent base portion module in order to make the pet container self-standing, that is widely known by the people now provides the container with integrated petal-shaped base portion.Term " petal-shaped " refers to its leg (feet) is arranged to the branched pin base shape opened by angle intervals around base portion, and during in use from the beneath of container, formed shape is similar to colored petal.Container has the cylinder side wall of circular horizontal cross usually, and in the case, leg is usually located at concentric with the round section of sidewall but diameter contacting on the circle less than the round section diameter.Leg plays a role container to be provided stable multi-point support together.
In the technical field of container, the pressure that has reduction material and productive costs always and be easy to reclaim.This not only causes adopting the single type container with petal-shaped base portion, and the improvement petal-shaped base portion that still keeps punching, and makes it possible to generate container more economically, still carries out reliably between storage, transportation and used life simultaneously.Especially expectation is, in the situation that have sufficient integraty and the necessary quantity of material of stability minimizing for the commerce application makes container.Again make potentially several ten million during to hundred million containers of hundreds of when every year, each container even very little material economy can cause tremendous influence to productive costs.
When container was used as pressure vessel, the appropriate balance between the quantity of material of use and the globality of container just was even more important.For example, container can be used to storage, transportation and distribute such as effervescent beverages such as beer.Beverage itself can be soda, perhaps gaseous propellant can be expelled in the container with super-atmospheric pressure, leaves container to force beverage.This container need to bear these internal pressures under the environmental conditions of certain limit.Except bearing these internal pressures, container also need to survive rough operation during container traffic.
Summary of the invention
For this background technology, the present invention has been proposed.From an aspect, the present invention relates to the petal-shaped base portion of self-standing container, this base portion has spherical lower base portion profile and the leg forming part of a plurality of spheries, and described spherical leg forming part is interrupted lower base portion and is stretched out from lower base portion, to limit corresponding a plurality of legs.
Because leg is spherical, it should be understood that, they are via convex surface and the plane contact that can shelve base portion.Therefore preferably, contact via the point on the curved surface of this leg between given leg and this flat surfaces.
In order to maximize at the minimized Quantity and intensity of container that makes simultaneously of materials'use amount, lower base portion profile is preferably roughly semisphere.For example, profile can be the spheroidicity of the central axes of its pole axis line and base portion.Based on similar reason, the leg forming part is suitably prolonged, and for example is locally ellipticity or prolate spheroid.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the leg forming part is avette (part egg type), and in the case, the contact point of leg is limited by the inner inwardly the widest part in the cross section of biasing of each leg forming part towards the leg forming part the most expediently.In other words, the inner radial place than leg forming part is tapered the leg forming part to a greater degree at the radially outer place of leg forming part with respect to the central axis of base portion.
Preferably, base portion comprises forming part, and leg forming part for example, their shape are around axis Rotational Symmetry roughly.For example, limit the leg forming part such as spherical, elliposoidal and the shape such as avette preferably around axis Rotational Symmetry roughly.Advantageously, if form these shape Rotational Symmetries of base portion, then can be to be used to form the material of these structures minimized.Simultaneously, can make internal capacity and the intensity maximization thereof of base portion.
In order to limit the leg that uses minimal material, the leg forming part of prolongation preferably has longitudinal axis separately, and described longitudinal axis is positioned at the plane of radially extending from the central axis of base portion.The described axis of leg forming part becomes circular cone to concern that ground is outside, upwards suitably extension from the central axis of base portion.
That each leg forming part can have is oval-shaped, the preferred avette cross-shaped portion that intersects with lower base portion profile.Concentrate in order to reduce stress, cross-shaped portion is preferably concave cross section.
In order to reinforce base portion, the leg forming part is preferably from the center knob radiation.This protrusion can be approximate polygon, and the quantity of sidepiece is corresponding to the quantity of leg forming part.
The leg forming part is suitably separated by cheuch, and described cheuch for example can be from the summit radiation of polygon protrusion.In order to make the materials'use amount minimum, cheuch is preferably crossed when base portion outwards moves and is broadened.For example, each cheuch all can have interior zone and outer sections, the wall of cheuch externally section than dispersing sharplyer at interior zone.Yet the wall of cheuch can all be dispersed in interior zone and the outer sections of cheuch.
In birds-eye view, each leg forming part can have the amplification center, and the leg forming part is crossed inside from the amplification center and inwardly diminished gradually to the inner.In the case, the inside of leg forming part suitably becomes the base portion that centers on of segmentation relation.In order to make the materials'use amount minimum, preferably in birds-eye view, each leg forming part is crossed the leg forming part from amplifying the center outside outwards diminishes gradually to the outer end.
Concept of the present invention expands to the keg that for example has base portion of the present invention or the container of bottle.Preferably, container makes up by the preformed part of being made by PET is ideally carried out blow molding.
Preferably, the material of use is PET, and the average pressure drag of container and the ratio of materials'use amount are greater than 3MPa/kg.More preferably, the ratio of average pressure drag and materials'use amount is greater than 3.75MPa/kg.And the ratio of the capacity of preferred container and materials'use amount is greater than 40 liters/kg.More preferably, the ratio of the capacity of container and materials'use amount is greater than 80 liters/kg.

The specific embodiment
At first with reference to the Fig. 1 in the accompanying drawing and Fig. 2, the container 10 in this example of the present invention comprises the hollow body of the PET of blow molding.The body of container 10 has circular horizontal cross, and this radius of a circle vertically extends from central longitudinal axis 12, and central longitudinal axis 12 medially extends through the sealing base portion 14 of container 10.(but not shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) is that neck occupies general cylindrical shape sidewall thereon above base portion 14.Sidewall and base portion 14 are one-body molded, and the lower end of sidewall ends at base portion 14; And then the neck on sidewall and container 10 tops is one-body molded, and the upper end of sidewall ends at neck.
The base shape of base portion 14 or lower shape are the hemispheres that flattens slightly, and this hemisphere is around central longitudinal axis 12 Rotational Symmetries of container 10.More generally, the lower shape of base portion 14 is oblate ellipsoids, is that diameter on the pole axis line (overlapping with central longitudinal axis 12) is than the little rotational symmetric ellipsoid of diameter of equatorial circle (plane of this equatorial circle with this pole axis line halve).Be somebody's turn to do approximate semisphere so that pressure drag maximization, the minimizing stress of internal pressure are concentrated with the prevention cracking and so that in the internal volume maximization of minimized while of materials'use amount.
According to the present invention, base portion 14 also comprises and is arranged to the integrated air bubble-shaped leg arranged by petal-shaped around base portion, described leg is limited by five hollow avette leg forming parts 16 in this example, and leg forming part 16 is from pentagonal convex protrusion 18 equal angles of the relatively plain cardinal principle on the central longitudinal axis 12 ground to external irradiation.More generally, leg forming part 16 is oval balls of prolongation of the ellipsoid form of prolate, and the ellipsoid of prolate is along the diameter of its pole axis line ellipsoid greater than its equatorial diameter.
The pole axis line 20 of the leg forming part 16 of ellipsoid in the plane of the isolated radial arrangement of equal angles from the central longitudinal axis 12 of container 10 outwards, extend upward.Therefore, the pole axis line 20(of leg forming part 16 sees Fig. 2) be positioned on the virtual frusto-conical surface of central longitudinal axis 12.
Several to being separated by cheuch 22 along circumferential adjacent leg forming part 16, described cheuch 22 is from the 24 equal angles ground, summit of pentagon center knob 18 to external irradiation.The elliposoidal of base portion 14 is followed in the bottom of cheuch, and opens to the outside that radially outward exceeds leg forming part 16 that is positioned at of base portion 14 in their outer end.In addition, center knob 18 and each leg forming part 16 connect via transition portion, the transition portion smooth curved, and do not have obvious transition or discontinuous.Therefore, as shown in Figure 3, the transition portion of leg forming part 16, smooth curved and the center knob 18 common waveform cross sections that limit.
Equally as shown in Figure 3, the radius of curvature r of convex central protrusion 18 is less than the total curvature radius R of ellipsoid base portion 14: so R r.In addition, convex central protrusion 18 extends beyond the horizontal surface on the minimum summit of (thereby in use being lower than) lower base portion profile.And convex central protrusion 18 extends to the scope that is positioned at leg forming part 16 with the horizontal surface of (scope that therefore in use is higher than leg forming part 16).
Leg forming part 16 relies on avette protruding wall outwards to swell from the bottom ellipsoid profile of base portion 14.The protruding wall of each leg forming part 16 is centered on by the spill transition region 26 of the shape of oval loop.The transition region 26 smooth ellipsoid walls that extend to the base portion with larger radius of curvature are concentrated to reduce stress, therefore make the possibility of stress crack minimum.Transition region 26 parts of the leg forming part 16 that the edge is circumferential adjacent limit the cheuch 22 between those leg forming parts 16.
Each leg forming part 16 is substantially oval (in this example for avette) in upward view, hold within it 30 and outer end 32 between amplification center 28 reach maximum width.Therefore, each leg forming part 16 diminishes gradually along the reversing sense of 28 the widest part from the center: be moved into inner 30 along inner 34 towards central longitudinal axis 12; And outwards move to outer end 32 along outside 36 from central longitudinal axis 12.
In upward view, the inside 34 that inwardly diminishes gradually of leg forming part 16 closely is engaged between their neighbours (adjacent inside) around round base portion 14 as the orange lobe.These of leg forming part 16 inner 34 alternate with the narrow inner section 38 of cheuch 22, and by the narrow inner section 38 of cheuch 22 separately, described narrow inner section can be similar to parallel, but in this example, when narrow inner section can broaden when pentagon center knob 18 stretches out a little.Yet, when stretching out, they exceed the widest part of leg forming part 16 and when entering in their outer sections 40, cheuch 22 between the outside that diminishes gradually 36 of leg forming part 16 is similar to and broadens exponentially, until the maximum width between the outer end 32 of their arrival adjacent leg forming parts 16.
Therefore, when 22 external diameters towards base portion 14 moved from central longitudinal axis 12 along cheuch, the gap between the leg forming part 16 increased.In contrast, formerly in the petal-shaped base portion of known (for example open among the EP 0671331), this gap reduces.
Observe from the side now, leg forming part 16 extends to the horizontal surface that descends the summit most of the base portion 14 that exceeds 18 restrictions of (therefore in use being lower than) center pentagon protrusion.Leg forming part 16 all extends to identical horizontal surface.Therefore, at this horizontal surface, each leg forming part 16 limits contact points 42, and contact point 42 will be stablized on the planar support surface (not shown) that is positioned at central longitudinal axis 12 quadratures of container 10.
Fig. 3 illustrates the leg forming part and is to a certain degree egg type, the widest part in its cross section towards its inner 30 slightly inwardly, biased downward.
The contact point 42 of leg forming part 16 is around the circle of the contact centered by the central longitudinal axis 12 of container 10 and equidistantly spaced apart on this contact circle.Contact circle diameter (x) is as follows with respect to the ratio of the sidewall diameter (Dy) of container 10:
Dy 0.5 x = k
According to the present invention, k more preferably between 4.0 and 5.3, more preferably between 4.2 and 5.0, typically is 4.7 again preferably between 3.6 and 5.5.This can contrast with typical PET bottle on the market, and its corresponding ratio k is generally 2.5 to 3.5.K value among the present invention is relatively greatly that to come from the x value relatively little.Because little contact circle can form little between contact point 42 and thereby the firm barrier film (diaphragm) of essence, so the little K value among the present invention is favourable.
The result is that the central area in the contact circle between the contact point 42 of leg forming part 16 is very firm, and therefore can stop internal pressure until the motion during the fracture pressure.The rigidity in the zone in the contact circle is strengthened by the wavy wall section that the inside 34 of leg forming part 16, cheuch 22 between them and center knob 18 limit.
Rigidity in the contact circle is important for high fracture pressure not only, and also is important for stability.This is that (base portion 14 that center pentagon protrusion 18 limits descend most summit) will be tending towards being pressed under internal pressure because the nadir on the central longitudinal axis.If the mobile distance of foot point reaches the mating surfaces in the contact use, container can not stably be shelved on the contact point 42 of leg forming part 16.The rigidity of base shape of the present invention means, compares with previous known design, and is relatively little to surface-supported distance from the culminating point of base portion, thereby is conducive to stability and capacity with respect to the height of container.
Observe end on any one leg forming part 16(namely, from the side of container 10 towards central longitudinal axis 12 inwardly), the profile of this leg forming part 16 has been described the convex surface radius of transition region 26 to the convex surface radius of the constant between each side.Traditional petal-shaped base portion usually have the V-arrangement cheuch that limits between the leg than plane surface, it is unfavorable for that materials'use amount and stress concentrates.Stress concentrates the zone of the special rapid wear that causes container to break under high internal pressure conditions.
The allocation plan of base portion 14 of the present invention is particularly suitable for distributing the container that is in the liquid under the pressure.Particularly, the k value of increase makes base portion firmer, therefore is more suitable for keeping stability when container is subject to high internal pressure.In addition, for the container that bears high internal pressure, by increasing the k value, convex central protrusion 18 can be positioned to be lower than vertically other possible situation.This can make from the amount of the beverage of container 10 actual allocated maximum.This advantage is with reference to Figure 12 discussion, the side sectional view identical with the container base 14 of Fig. 3 shown in Figure 12, and beverage dispensing 120.
In this article, container is as the beer keg 10 that is provided with closed component, and described closed component is sealed on the tubular neck portions of keg 10 with the configuration mode of DF Drive Fit.Pipe 120 is connected to the closed component (not shown), and 12 extends to the base portion of keg 10 from closed component along central longitudinal axis.The lower axial end of pipe 120 extends in the center knob 18.Pipe 120 end is placed in the center knob 18, and it is inboard just to be suspended at the summit of center knob 18, and the circular clearance is provided thus, and beverage can pass from keg 10 that the circular clearance enters pipe 120 or vice versa.The shape of center knob 18 can also make the lower axial end of pipe 120 correctly locate and remain in the center knob between assembling and used life.
In use, when distributing beverage, keg 10 maintains stand up position.Closed component allows gas-pressurized to be introduced in the head room of keg 10, to force beverage by managing 120 out.Because manage 120 axially be positioned at bottom center knob 18, and center knob 18 is arranged in the relatively low axial positions in the keg 10, so guarantee like this to draw the almost whole beverages in the keg 10.
Extend in one of them leg forming part 16 by managing 120, can further increase can be from the amount of the keg 10 actual beverages of drawing.In this allocation plan, pipe 120 need to be in the lower end away from central longitudinal axis 12 bendings.Even now can marginally increase the amount of the beverage that can distribute from keg 10, and that closed component and pipe 120 are assembled to the process of keg 10 is complicated but this can make.Particularly, swan-neck 120 is inserted the automatic fitting process that needs complexity in the keg 10.In addition, pipe 120 can make the attached closed component of upper axial end of pipe 120 bear inhomogeneous power away from central longitudinal axis 12 bendings.This will reduce the reliability of closed component, when keg 10 bears high internal pressure, with especially true.
Petal-shaped base portion of the present invention can be applicable to the container of wide region, for example bottle and keg.Fig. 4 (a), 4(b) and 4(c) and Fig. 5 (a), 5(b) and 5(c) show of the present invention be applied to respectively 0.33 liter of capacity the bottle 44(usually can be used for carbonated soft drink) and the keg 46(of 20 liters of capacity usually can be used for beer) five leg base portions.These illustrate Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 abridged feature, i.e. neck 50 residence general cylindrical shape sidewalls 48 thereon.Sidewall 48 and base portion 14 are one-body molded and end at base portion 14 in the lower end; And then the neck of sidewall 48 and container top 50 is one-body molded and end at neck 50 in the upper end.
Figure 10 illustrates another five legs base portion of the keg 104 of 18 liters of capacity that are applied to have non-cylindrical sidewall 108 of the present invention.In this example, sidewall 108 is convexs, around the central longitudinal axis Rotational Symmetry of keg 104, so usually follow avette.At its lower axial end section place, sidewall bends to the spherical bottom profiled of base portion of the present invention glossily.(degree that the degree that this upper axial end section diminishes gradually diminishes gradually greater than lower axial end section) located in its upper axial end section, and sidewall bends to the convex neck of keg 104 glossily.The mode that convex sidewall 108 is shaped to the pressure drag maximization of internal pressure so that the internal capacity maximization of keg 104 and so that the materials'use amount minimize.Figure 11 is that blow molding is the enlarged side view of the plastic preforms of container shown in Figure 10.
In the situation that do not deviate from principle of the present invention, can carry out other modification to the present invention.For example, Fig. 6 (a), 6(b) and 6(c) shown in the alternative applications of base portion of the present invention in 1.5 liters of volumetric flasks 52.This modification has seven (but not five) leg forming parts 54, has substantially heptagonal center knob 56 between them.Similar to the modification of five leg base portions, the modification of seven leg base portions can be applied to the container of any size, for example 0.33 liter, 0.5 liter, 1 liter, 1.5 liters or larger bottle, the keg of 20 liters or other capacity.
The odd number leg is preferred for optimum stabilization, has three legs (in the case, center knob is roughly triangle) at least, but preferred no more than seven legs; Five or seven legs are considered to best.
For the present invention is put into applied environment but can not limit the wide region that limits such as claims, the below will provide in the mode of example the various sizes characteristic.
At first, following table has represented conventional sole and according to the volume ratio between the base portion of the present invention, in the case, supposes that base portion limits five legs.Volume in the table is expressed with milliliter (ml).Volume refers to the internal capacity of base portion, is defined as the following container part of cylinder side wall of container.It should be noted that compactedness and materials'use amount in order to be conducive to given container capacity, approximately large five times of the volume of the volume ratio conventional petals shape container base of base portion of the present invention.
